Bondi learned the love of the Key early
Date: January 16, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Joseph "Joe" Bondi died Jan. 8, after a struggle with leukemia.
Bondi, 76, was the father of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and a part-time Longboat Key resident.
On Wednesday morning, Pam Bondi released the following statement:
"My beautiful Daddy went to Heaven yesterday. He was surrounded by all his family. He fought a great fight with leukemia. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. We are so heartbroken but comforted to know he is with our Lord. Please continue to pray for my family during this most difficult time in our lives."
Born Aug. 15, 1936, he was a Tampa native and a U.S. Navy veteran.
He graduated from Hillsborough High School, where he was a member of the school's Hall of Fame. He went on to earn bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Florida.
Bondi was a pioneer in the middle-school movement, organizing one of the first five middle schools in the nation.
He was a professor at the University of South Florida's College of Education from 1965 to 2003, author of more than 25 educational textbooks and a partner in international education consulting firm Wiles, Bondi and Associates.
Bondi also served as a Temple Terrace city councilman from 1970 to 1974 and as the city's mayor from 1974 to 1978.
Bondi listed his accomplishments as mayor in a May 2012 interview with the Longboat Observer, saying he was responsible for the building of City Hall, a library, a family recreation center and a police station.
"I did it all in four years without raising taxes," he said at the time.
Bondi vacationed on Longboat Key since childhood and also recounted the summer days he spent on the island's beaches during World War II.
He and his best friend, Tommy, would disappear for hours at a time playing with turtles, fishing, swimming and romping around on the shores.
The Bondis purchased their unit at Continental's Sea Club III in February 1987, according to Manatee County property records.
Bondi told the Longboat Observer that his three children, Pam, Beth and Bradley, continue to visit the Key every year and rent the apartment above their parents' unit.
Joan Webster, a former Longboat Key mayor and retired education administer, became friends with Bondi and attended various meetings with him.
"He's a gentleman's gentleman," she said, referring to him in the present tense. "He's very bright, and he cares about the people he's serving."
Although the Bondi family has maintained a low profile in the area, "they have a certain love for Longboat Key," Webster said.
Bondi is survived by his wife of 52 years, Patsy; daughters, Pam Bondi and Beth Bondi McIntyre; son, Brad Bondi; sister Frances Bondi Glenn; and six grandchildren.
A celebration of life service will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, at Christ Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 304 Druid Hills Road, Tampa, Fla., 33617. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Metropolitan Ministries, metromin.org.

We're sure the Walters family of Longboat Key thinks of its dog, Buck, as quite the golden boy.

Imagine yourself in a large city. Crowds of people bustle around you, horns honk, exhaust fumes spew, dogs bark, and you are jostled by thousands rushing. Would you feel relaxed? Calm and at ease? Probably not. But what if you changed your perspective - literally - moving from the midst of the city to the highest floor of an office building. You're now hundreds of stories above the same crowded street. The people look like ants, the deafening city noise is merely a distant hum, and you stand alone in an empty room, with no one to push you. Does the crowd seem as big from up high? Without smelling the exhaust or hearing the horns, are you as stressed? Most likely the city now seems a world away. Perhaps it even appeals to you once you're able to gain some distance. Whether or not a crowded city street makes you anxious, seeing it from different locations certainly changes how you view it.
The same can be said for depression. Simply changing your perspective can give you a completely different view of the illness. Of course, depression makes it extremely difficult to put a positive spin on anything. But, with regular practice and diligent effort, it can be done!
Try this exercise when you're ready to change your perspective. To help you remember it, it is linked to a relatable analogy.
Try this technique: Zoom Out
Have you ever used a camera to zoom into a scene? Perhaps you're taking a picture of a friend and you want to get in a little closer without moving. Maybe you want a closeup view of a distant panorama. While you're zoomed in close, all you can see is a small chunk of a larger scene. But when you zoom out, suddenly the entire scene is in your view and you gain more perspective.
When you find yourself overwhelmed by your circumstances, try zooming out.
Here's how: Remember that depression can act as the zoom function on your camera. It forces you to focus on just one aspect of your life. Maybe you can only see all of your past mistakes, current failures, or other negatives. Sometimes your thoughts are centered on how bad your feel. When you find yourself dwelling on thoughts like these, refocus on the bigger picture.
Ask yourself questions to "zoom out" and change your perspective. Take a few quiet moments to ask yourself a question for every negative thought. When depression zooms in on your mistakes, list your accomplishments. When depression focuses on your saddest memories, search your past for happy ones. When depression forces you to think about what's going wrong, refocus on what's going right.
Zooming out takes practice, and sometimes, more than a little effort. Depression wants you to stay focused on what depresses you most, but don't let it!
Review this perspective changer often, and when you can, try it out. Remember that changing our way of thinking can be tough, but it can be done. You can do it!

The pictures in this book were taken entirely with my iPhone 4s camera (then exported with a couple of photo editing apps). When it came to laying out the pages I thought it would be an interesting approach to keep them at the same size as they would appear on the phone's screen. As for the pictures—they simply document the persons, places and things that I've come across in my day-to-day routine.

Las Vegas Market Gets Up On The Roof For Charity
Tuesday May 21st, 2013 - 8:36AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
On Tuesday, July 30, International Market Centers will host the third annual Up on the Roof gala charity event benefiting Gift for Life, a charitable organization for the gift, stationery and home décor industries. The event will occur during the Summer Las Vegas Market running July 29 to August 2 at the World Market Center Las Vegas.
The Up on the Roof party agenda includes cocktails, appetizers, live music and a silent auction from 6 to 8 p.m. in the WorldView room on the 16th floor of World Market Center's Building B. All funds raised will benefit Gift for Life, which hosts events across the United States each year to benefit the Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids. The primary mission of Gift for Life and DIFFA is to eradicate the U.S. AIDS epidemic.
"Las Vegas Market is delighted once again to partner with Gift for Life, helping raise awareness and funds for prevention and treatment of AIDS," Dorothy Belshaw, IMC president of Gift & Home Décor, commented. "As the leading gift and home décor destination in the western United States, Las Vegas Market is proud and happy to continue its support for this worthy cause, and hope that this year's event will exceed the nearly $15,000 raised through last year's Up on the Roof party."
Up on the Roof tickets cost $25 each, and anyone purchasing four tickets will get a fifth ticket for free, IMC noted. Tickets can be purchased at http://upontheroofgala.eventbrite.com/ or onsite during Las Vegas Market in the lobbies of both Building A and Building C.

Mobile snooping for everyone in weeks
The Chaos Computer Club has told the FT that in the couple of months it will be releasing code capable of cracking GSM with just a laptop and an antenna. In comments made to the German edition of the Financial Times, the hacking group claims that governments, and criminals, are already using the technique which can break the …
Smells like conspiracy
I bet the nerds club got some Qualcomm funding for that one. Their mistake, of course, was announcing what they plan to do before doing it (probably thought that they could milk it at both ends). Some GSM consortium who may risk loosing some money in all of this will probably just pay to have them all killed.
Black Hat
"will probably just pay to have them all killed"
Probably not....
Met up with a couple of old-skool CCC members at a music festival in Berlin two summers ago and spent a few hours chatting about biometric ids and their plans to steal Merkel's fingerprints (which they subsequently went and did). Awesome bunch of guys, couldn't praise their commitment to resisting state invasion of private life enough.
AC for obvious reasons.
GSM has been under attack for a *long* time.
That security by obscurity BS did them no favours. IIRC Israeli researchers were talking a crack which neede 1/2 an hour with the handset, but that was years ago.
The joker in the pack, as the writer points out, is the rising level of processing power individuals can bring to bear on the job.
I'm surprised that its taken a group like Chaos so long to get round to them.
"low-level drug dealers who've long relied on the security of GSM for their business"
No they don't, that's silly; the authorities already have all the wiretapping abilities they need to listen to dealers' calls, provided through lawful access facilities in the core network where the signals aren't encrypted any more, the police don't have to go and sniff signals out of the air.
What low level drug dealers rely on for their security is the anonymity of unregistered phone ownership, not the fact that the signals are encrypted over the first hop from their handset to the base station.
true... and I make sure to always talk in code when summoning my dealer
Dear Reg Editors
Seriously, WTF ? That's two utterly retarded articles from Bill Ray now, This is not the Grauniad FFS, I do not expect to see this type of sub Daily Mail crap in my much beloved El Reg news feed.
This :
"which should have implications for celebrities using mobile phones, but will probably have a more immediate impact on low-level drug dealers who've long relied on the security of GSM for their business."
Should have flagged up some serious danger signs. It is crass, unsubstantiated, ridiculous bullshit which clearly demonstrates the authors lack of understanding of both communications security and "low level drug dealers".
Could you please, please, please either find someone to write about security who knows what they're talking about (no, step away from the keyboard, Goodin), or at least get Dziuba to do it so it is _entertaining_ bullshit.
@James 47
They already know what you're calling for, they just want to know when and how often you call.
"old" news
I friend who is a security researcher talked with the CCC guys about this stuff already last year AFAIRecall, they in fact had at athat time made various arrangements to make all the code etc public in case of their "disappearance".
Remember Tron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron_%28hacker%29
Hmm, I can't wait..
I'll get the relevant aerial/software e.t.c. and be able to hear
"Yeah, I'm on the train".
"Oh OK, I'll put your dinner in the oven".
What I actually want is a way to listen into text messages - I bet some filth flies through those airwaves, especially late at night! :)
Who uses A5/1 anyway?!?
When I was in Jersey on business my mobile roamed onto Airtel-Vodafone. Apart from having terrible lag on the call, any call that I had did not use any GSM encryption (i.e. ciphering was off) as indicated by an unlocked padlock on my phone screen during calls. Calls to both Airtel-Vodafone in Jersey and my home network Vodafone in the UK resulted in no change and claims from Customer Services of "all calls are secure". A5/1... that would be nice to have!
Most modern 2G GSM phones support A5/3 in addition to A5/1. If a phone supports A5/3 and the mobile network is willing to use A5/3 then this will be used instead of A5/1.
@John Smith
They were too busy off working on Projekt Blinkenlights
Laptop and an antenna?
Did nobody tell them about the Nokitel code?!
Selective and subjective policing/monitoring creates political prisoners?
"@James 47 # .... They already know what you're calling for, they just want to know when and how often you call." .... By Alt0n Posted Tuesday 25th August 2009 16:28 GMT
Could that be argued as wilful entrapment, should a prosecution/persecution ensue?

Your dog will make quite the fashion statement in a winter wrap made from quilted mats. Add hook-and-loop tape tabs to the edges to close the jacket under Fido's tummy. For a medium-sized dog, add ribbon or bias tape ties instead and accommodate your larger pooch's girth by sewing several mats together. For extreme temperatures, join two layers of quilted placemats by sewing the edges or ironing on fusible webbing. This provides extra warmth and makes the wrap reversible.
Things You Can Sew a Placemat Into
Repurposing and "going green" are popular buzzwords that you can bring to reality when you re-use placemats in craft projects. Even using new placemats saves energy, since you skip the early steps needed when you start completely from scratch. In addition, crafting with the mats lets you express your personal style in completely new ways.
Pet Couture
Fold and stitch a quilted placemat to make a one-of-a-kind clutch purse that you can embellish with paint, beads, rhinestones or fibers. Add a ribbon or chain shoulder strap with decorative pins to make a versatile handbag. Use four placemats to construct a reusable grocery, beach or gym tote or diaper bag to your own tastes and style. Cut sides from one mat and the bottom from another, then stitch them to two whole placemats that make the front and back. Make handles from the extra half of the mat from which you cut the bottom or "bling" your bag with chain-and-bead straps, instead.
Pillows and Cushions
Stitch placemats together and add polyester fiberfill to create pillows for your chairs, bed, sofa or outdoor furniture. Add fringe, ruffles or piping between the mats or embellish them with sequins and beads. Put your cat in the lap of luxury when you stitch two pairs of mats together, stuff them and tuft the resulting cushion to make a personalized pet bed. Use contrasting napkins to add Fluff's name or decorative appliques.
Storage Roll
Use two mats or a placemat and matching napkin to make an on-the-go storage roll for make-up or paintbrushes, pens and markers or a basic tool kit with tack hammer, pliers and several types and sizes of screwdrivers. Stash your tool roll in the glove box of the car or in the kitchen junk drawer, and you're ready for whatever may come your way.

Braves on the move! Freeman, Teheran, Kimbrel ! What a summer it is going to be..
Posted: 11:18 am Sunday, February 16th, 2014
Kimbrel's value as closer obvious to Braves
By Jeff Schultz
Great and astute move. Yes, the chance if injury adds risk, but thus far he has been pretty healthy. Every game just got shortened to 8 innings. That is important overall, but especially important to the manager and the other pitchers - what a security blanket, yes?
As to the critics of paying this money for a player that only is in ~60 innings a year, let's put his role into an everyday player perspective.
Let's say you have a guys that can't field any position and can't run a lick. But he can hit. Either hit of miss, homer or strikeout. And let's say he homers on 30% of his ABs, (300 BA). That would be 50 HRs a year and about 100+ RBIs. What would you pay that guy?
Kimbrell's success % is about 90% (saves). Pretty good IMO.
Craig Kimbrel has at the moment the all time lowest ERA for any pitcher to have pitched 200+ career innings with a 1.38 career ERA
The Braves will finally get Bruce Sutter paid off this year so they'll have a little extra to throw at a closer. Good move.
With all this money they are spending, they won't have any left to re-sign Uggla!
Oh wait....
Great move by Wren
Sign Simmons to a long term - 5 years max! Wren knows Uggla's salary is coming off soon and if BJ doesn't turn it around this year, he'll be gone in 2 years as well
"But there's also something to be said for the mindset of a pitcher who can come out of the bullpen in the ninth inning with no outs and two runners on base in a one-run game and not spontaneously combust."
Huh? Since when does Kimbrel (or ay closer) come in with runners on base in any inning? You must have already forgotten last years elimination game, when with no outs in the 8th and a 1 run lead and an LA runner on 2nd, Kimbrel was intentionally left in the pen. Most of the time a reliever comes in with that scenario is in the 6-8th innings, and its not the closer.
Without question (or any Sabermetrics), the save stat is the most overrated stat in the game. In fact,
back in 2007 a pitcher actually got a save in a 30-3 Rangers win over the Orioles, which pretty much explains what a useless stat it is.
Terrible contract. Why anyone would advocate signing a pitcher - even one as good as Kimbrel - is beyond me. He will pitch 75 innings or so. For a team with limited resources, a closer is a luxury. The money should have been applied towards retaining Simmons, Heyward, or Minor long-term.
everybody getting all excited over what? that the braves have signed the SAME players who have brought them nothing? its about the chips, not selling out cobb county if you are a true baseball fan.........
This is not so much Wren's doing as it is Hart's.
Can I get a link to a single "sabermetrician" who doesn't think Kimbrel is a great player? Because as far as I know, none exist, so I'm confused by this article's tone.
Great move by Braves. I don't believe for a second that this is Wren's doing. If so why now and not in past. Maybe there is more to the story. I believe all of these signings has to do with Braves move to Cobb Co. and the Complex of business, hotels, and food est. for year round fun and income for Braves. Braves also plan to put a winner on the field to fill the park every game like the Phillies, Red Sox, NYY and Dodgers. This is great for fans, Atlanta, Cobb Co, and everyone . Thanks Braves!
Simmons is the heart of Braves "up the middle" get him signed....Go Braves.
They're creating their "Mount Rushmore" for the 2017 stadium opening season. Young, homegrown talent signed long term to sell out the Cobb.
If we had had a closer like Kimbrel in the 90's we would have won at lease 5 World Series, IMHO.
It is good to see Wren buck "traditional wisdom" and pay for the 9th inning. It is really illogical NOT to.
Well done, Frank, well done.
Only a few Closer's in the last 20 years has every sports analyst agreeing that " light out " when they enter a game. Rivera was one Kimbrel has been another. He was a huge piece of Atlanta's puzzle going forward . Great job Wren and thank you Liberty Media for finally making a financial commitment to bring a Championship to Atlanta.
Now get Simmons signed to a long deal.
Now Minor and Simmons, and probably Beachy and Medlin. They should have tried to keep Heyward longer than 2 years, imo.
And who said that the Braves weren't doing anything this winter?
wow... that is great. Wren did a great job. I think Kimbrel is worth way more.
Good stuff!! Now let's stay healthy and get back to the postseason!
Great signing........Good luck from injuries
Fist as Joey says
@WhopperDawg That analogy only begins to be remotely comparable if said player is only able to play in 2-3 games a week. And even then, hitting a HR on 30% of his ABs would give him about 100+ HRs a year, so I'm confused by your math. That player would make a fortune and would be much more valuable than a relief pitcher, Kimbrel or Rivera included, by anyone's metrics.
@MummyHead Fist just how dum RU? The that last thin We need is 4 the Barves 2 resigh Struggla
Nex Why R my posts bein delted?
@MummyHead They will still have BJ for a couple more years to take up the slack after Dan's departure. No worries.
@Codex 10 years.
@pbond3 I agree. It's not necessarily that closers are overrated, it's that they are used in the ninth inning, which may or may not be the critical inning the bullpen will face. Last year's playoff game against LA is a perfect example of how a resource like Kimbrel is misused in critical situations, all in pursuit of a made-up stat that has questionable value.
You must be pretty young to think a closer or saves in close games are overrated. Leave out the extreme cases of a 30-3 save in your argument please. Gi a season without a closer...then get back to us ok?
@pbond3 Kimbrel came into the game in the 9th with runners on at least once last season, I think that it happen more than once.
Kimbrel comes into the game with a 1 run lead, facing the heart of the opponents batting order, and ends the game with a Braves win, which is also a Save for him, and that is overrated and not important?
I don't think that you have to be a Sabermetrician expert to comprehend, that is not overrated.
@GeorgeStein the highest paid relievers in MLB last year made $14-15 million per year. they are overpaid. Kimbrel out performed all of them. We are getting a good deal for a record setting reliever based on market value. The money for the other kids will be applied accordingly, for the players wanting to be Braves and willing to work to build a championship team, not greedy players looking to maximize their contracts. We could have had Kimbrel at arbitration rates for 3-4 years and know he was going to leave a free agent and probably get $20 mill a year then, but he chose to compromise and stay close to home. Quit yer bitchin
@GeorgeStein Having Kimbrel as a closer is a luxury that the Braves can't afford?
He had 50 saves last year, the Braves should just go out and get a bottom of the barrel closer and see if he can save 50 games?
If that had been the case last season and the other guy would have blown half of those save opportunities that could have been 25 of those 96 wins turned to Ls.
@seminoleking This is a young team that has improved each season the core has been together (blowing WC and winning 89 in 2011, Winning WC spot and 94 games in 2012, and winning NL East in 2013 and 96 games). They are on a natural progression and should continue to improve. Locking up the core was the best thing for the Braves this offseason given the limited amount of lock down #1 starters available. Like the team going into 1993, this Braves team is a true #1 away from putting it all together. My money is on them getting that person this year or going into next season....either as one of their pitchers stepping up his game or Wren pulling a great trade.
@seminoleking Whaaaat???
@tazmanian I believe it is a little of both. Hart and Wren have probably discussed locking up core players much like Hart did in Cleveland and in Texas when those teams made World Series runs. Wren is the man making it happen and signing the checks, so I will give him the credit.
@tazmanian Hart's an assistant who answers to Wren!
@GoGeorgiaTechHere you go and he's not alone...
@58Supersports You answered your own question. It is an investment by Liberty Media to make as much profit from the Braves new stadium complex, as possible, that is for sure.
@RoyalDawg IF Fredi had used him last year in 8th inning we would have won....
@bigbobbles1 Joey is now Tea Party Meber. Baffling, yet not.
@reckingball @pbond3 That elimination game debacle was on Fredi, not Kimbrel. No reason not to send him out to face the meat of the order in the 8th and whatever he could handle in the 9th, then look to someone else to pick up the last out or two in the 9th against the back end of the lineup.
@reckingball @pbond3 you say that he got a save with a 30-3 score, but you leave out the important facts in that game. it was a 3 inning save, the score was not 30-3 when he entered the game. etc etc etc
@rogersjam There's no such thing as a player that wants to be a Brave. They want to get paid, end of discussion. My problem with the contract is that it is not a good value. There are enough other guys who can perform at 75% of what Kimbrel is who will make 15% of what he will make. This is about resources, and the Braves don't have many.
@PeterNapa @tazmanian Poor old Wren, he just can't catch a break, from some people.
@PeterNapa That article calls Kimbrel "otherworldly", "terrific", and "great". It is also not written from a sabermetric perspective, but one of the Braves' perceived budget.
Any other examples?
@reckingball @pbond3 not that i agree that every save is equally as hard or easy, just saying that your invalidation of the save stat based on one argument is irrelevant

Rod Humble at SLCC 2011 highlights
For the first time Rod Humble (Rodvik Linden) attended SLCC 2011 and held a keynotes address which started at around 1pm SLT on Saturday 13th August 2011 about the Future of Second Life. I thought the keynote address by Rod was very positive, interesting and that he did a great job at answering SL questions. There was at least 60 avatars in the SLCC regions this year with more than 50 attendees in the crowd in the ballroom at SLCC 2011 along with alot of viewers in the SLCC ustream chat window.
Watch Again Here or click below to view Rod Humble's Keynote Address at SLCC 2011.
I think after the keynotes address many residents said they were impressed and happy with the announcements. There was alot of excitement and buzz on Plurk, Twitter and inworld during the keynotes speech. Always great to see!
Top 10 announcements

But gridsurvey reports that we have now fallen below 48000 daily users for the first time. And that the world size continues to shrink with few new sims coming online to replace departing ones.
Seems to me that Rod may grasp what we want SL for, but still doesn't grasp that we won't pay the outrageous fees for a "lease" bit of virtual land. The high price could be argued as the cost of ownership in days gone by. But if we don't own it — despite what my receipts say — then few are going to pay such prices for land. And as the world shrinks, so too does the userbase.
Either LL gives us what they sold and advertised to us, or they cut the purchase and tier costs by 1/3 at least. Otherwise this ship will continue to sink from the damage done over the past 3 years, because everyone is busy repainting the deck to its formerly festive colors instead of fixing the hole in the hull. While I'm glad to see a CEO who finally grasps that the users of SL want a virtual world where they can be and do anything (instead of being just themselves, ala Facebook), the costs associated with owning land are absurdly high for what we get.

Experiencing the iChat woes? Try the Connection Doctor
Now in its fifth iteration, iChat has gained a host of features as it has matured. However, the addition of new features has brought on new complexities and requirements, including both hardware and bandwidth issues. For instance, at the time of its release, iChat 3 users needed a minimum of a Dual 1 GHz G4 and a 384 Kbps Internet connection to initiate a four-way video conference on iChat 3. Photobooth and Backdrop effects, which came along in iChat 4, call for a minimum an Intel Core Duo processor. And then, of course, one must climb the proverbial firewall.
Fortunately, there's iChat's Connection Doctor. Besides telling you what your system is capable of (for example, screen sharing, multiperson video conferences and video recording) and the audio and video quality of your video chat (resolution and frame rate), the Connection Doctor can also tell you if networking issues (i.e., a firewall or port issue) are the source of your video conferencing maladies. To launch iChat's Connection Doctor, click on "Video" on iChat's menu and then select "Connection Doctor." It's just what the doctor ordered.

Sunday the rain and cold was no match for thousands of cancer survivors and supporters of the cause, they took to the streets of downtown Buffalo to raise money to one day find a cure for the devastating disease.
There is a new color taking over the usual orange and black of October!
"October has become really the banner month for celebrating pink," said Gretchen Leffler, the Vice President of the Western New York Division of the American Cancer Society.
And it's for good reason. Five thousand western New Yorkers taking over downtown Buffalo for the 15th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk around the city. The event kicked off Saturday morning in Niagara Square. Channel Seven was a proud sponsor of the event with our Good Morning Western New York anchors Bridget Blythe and Mike Randall getting the crowd pumped up for the walk!
"Buffalo! The walk for breast cancer!" yelled someone from the crowd.
"We're thrilled that more and more women are surviving the disease. Early detection is the key, so we encourage every woman to go get her mammogram at age 40 and to make sure she's vigilant about knowing her body," said Leffler.
Every year 1300 women in western New York are diagnosed with breast cancer. Almost 300 women in our region die from the disease every year. Those numbers hit close to home for many of today's participants.
"I'm walking today in honor of my mother who died of breast cancer," said Gina Wright.
But there are stories of hope among the crowd. Barbara and Rosemary are sisters who both beat breast cancer.
"We are sisters and we are survivors! We're here, that's the important thing...right!," they said together.
Today's event raised half-a-million dollars for the American Cancer Society to fund treatment, research and outreach programs like a 24-hour, 7-day a week cancer support phone line and free housing near hospitals for cancer patients and their caregivers, services that proved invaluable for people like Rhonda Hands,"I'm 15 year breast cancer free, thank god almighty!"
Other services Saturday's donations will be used for are free transportation to and from doctors appointments and free cosmetology sessions that teach patients how to manage their appearance with the side effects of treatment.

Asian-Styled Tapas
5631 Alta Avenue
Greenville 75206
United States
Nandina combines the hot trends for sushi and tapas dishes. Some dishes are ideal for sharing but some you should be selfish and keep for yourself. Shared dishes should be Shrimp Dumplings and the miso-marinated Kobe Beef. Things to be selfish about are the Sashimi and Rice Salad with its smoked salon, avocado and sweet, sticky rice dressed with sesame-chili vinaigrette. The wine list has a nice, moderately priced selection and service is excellent.

Lexington, Kentucky

Historians discuss the role of Henry Clay (1777-1852) in American politics. Known as the "Great Compromiser" but also as "The Dictator," he ran five unsuccessful presidential campaigns. Perhaps the most powerful politician of his time, he served as speaker of the House, U.S. senator, and secretary of state. This is the first of our 14-week series called "The Contenders: They Ran & Lost but Changed Political History."

200 years ago in 1811, Henry Clay began his first term as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He had a prolific political career, not only serving as Speaker, but also serving several terms in the U.S. Senate. He also served as Secretary of State under President John Quincy Adams from 1825 to 1829.

American History TV continues to reair C-SPAN's history series "The Contenders," which features profiles of key figures who ran for president and lost, but changed political history. This week, we focus on the election of 1916 and explore the life, legacy, and relevance today of Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican Party nominee in 1916, who served two terms on the Supreme Court, the second time as Chief Justice, two terms as Republican Governor of New York, and Secretary of State in the Harding and Coolidge administrations.

George McGovern died Sunday, October 21st, 2012, at the age of 90. In 1972, he ran for president as the Democratic Party nominee on an anti-Vietnam war platform and lost in a historic landslide to President Richard Nixon, garnering only 37.5% of the popular vote and even dropping his home-state of South Dakota.
As the presidential campaign gets in full swing this fall, C-SPAN is premiering a new history series that puts electoral politics in a historical perspective. The Contenders features profiles of key figures who have run for and lost the presidential election, but changed political history nevertheless.
Historians and law professors met at the University of Baltimore Law School to discuss Mick Caouette's film "Mr. Civil Rights: Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP." They explored Marshall's early law career as well as his work in the South to expand voting rights for African Americans. We also hear about his arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, and how he became the first African American appointed to the highest court in the land.
A conversation with author Fred Kaplan about his biography, "John Quincy Adams: American Visionary." Although he was not remembered for being a great president, Fred Kaplan argues that John Quincy Adams was one of the most intellectual commanders in chief, and also the best Secretary of State in American history.

Off to GDC
Well, I'm off to the Game Developer's Conference all next week to do Business. Before I go, I'll leave you with two teasers.
1) Autocap v2 is the new map system. Unlike autocap v1, now it will be fully automated, and with any luck, the map should update by itself roughly once a week (instead of once per six months :P). Kartud has been working hard on this, and we hope to have something running by the end of next next week.
2) I've been working on a new weapon, the Laser Rifle. It will have a range and hit effect like the laser turret (and I may be balancing upwards the laser turret's damage too). To balance out its range and firepower, it will have a reload sequence between shots -- so make each one count.

How Does Temperament Affect Online Student Success and Retention?
o certain personality traits increase students' chances of success in the online learning environment? It's an intriguing question that has not received much attention, an oversight that Ben Meredith, director of the Center for Distance Education at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, has sought to remedy.
A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats: Raising, Communicating, and Enforcing Expectations in Online Courses
As an instructor new to the online environment, I carefully reviewed the syllabus and the requirements for the course discussions and assignments and incorporated the following ideas from Myers-Wylie, Mangieri & Hardy: a "what you need to know" document that includes policies about late work, formatting, source citations, grading and feedback, and the dangers of plagiarism; a separate "assignments at a glance" calendar that details due dates and submission instructions; a "frequently asked questions" thread in the discussion forum; detailed scoring rubrics for each assignment, and example assignments. As is typical in the online environment, my course was equipped with areas for announcements and discussions and a grade book with a place to post comments for individual students. I used all these formats to communicate with students about course requirements and provide detailed feedback.
Encouraging Online Learner Participation
Sustained, high-quality student participation usually doesn't happen on its own in the online learning environment. The instructor needs to model participation, create assignments that encourage it, and foster an environment that supports it. Here are some ways that I promote student participation in my online courses.
Keeping Students Engaged in the Online Classroom
As an online instructor, I can fulfill the minimum requirements of the university regarding interacting with students, or I can create a learning environment that facilitates student engagement in the classroom. Students enroll in online classes because of the need for scheduling flexibility, work-life-school balance, costs, and convenience. Although online learning holds many advantages, the potential drawbacks revolve around the lack of personal interaction between the instructor and student, as well as the student-to-student contact. Keeping students engaged in the course is a vital function of an effective instructor.
How Do I Set Students Up for Success in Online Courses?
To compensate for the lack of face-to-face contact, faculty need to make a special effort to connect with students when introducing online courses. Learn how you can transform course introductions from ho-hum exercises in housekeeping into time-saving, inspirational new beginnings.

I also wondered how the scan detects local addresses - it doesn't generate
an ARP request for these. Is it looking at the output of ifconfig?
Nmap compares the address against the local interface table. It doesn't
look at ifconfig but uses one of a variety of platform-specific methods
to get teh interface table. See route_dst_generic in

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
TJ is in a unique status of a school moving forward with support from students, parents and the community. A renewal of education for the right reason,...the students and their future. Top drawer PTA support and involvement is bringing the school back to a top rank elementary school in conjunction with teacher and staff interaction. McKinley Park is a community and Theodore Judah is our school.
Theodore Judah is great because of its active PTA which contributes to provide such programs as science, art, music, garden, and computers.
this school is amazing! it is for sure a school on the move. the pta is very active and has worked with the teachers to make some fabulous things happen - music, hands-on science, and in-the-dirt garden time for each class each week! come to our open house on may 27th if you want to see an amazing place where you will want to enroll your kids for sure!
We transferred our daughter here after two years at a charter, we are amazed at the progress she has made. Awesome structure, the parent participation makes all of the difference. They have a garden that the children work in, it is a wonderful place for kids.
There is a true partnership between teachers, parents and administration at Theodore Judah to provide a well-rounded experience for our students. The school brings traditional academics, art, hands on-science, music, and physical education to every student. It is a true community effort and everyone feels part of the Theodore Judah family. I'm so excited for my son to be part of this fantastic school.
Theodore Judah has an amazing garden and Science Alive program that has captured the participation and interest of the entire neighborhood including many seniors. The entire community definitely feels that the school welcomes their participation.
Because the parent involvement is incredible. The kids are excited about school, and we have an amazing principal who has improved the quality of the (already great) school by leaps and bounds.
As a parent I am always impressed by the level of dedication the teachers and principal of this school have. Most of the staff has been with the school 10+ years. The principal has proven to be a wonderful asset to this school. Her open-door policy is great for us parents that have questions/comments. The PTA has changed, a new Board and president. Events seem less traditional and very sponsor driven at every event. Some of us think it has lost it's 'home-like' feel. It is not the PTA that makes the school, it is the teachers, students and parents. My child enjoys going to school there. As a parent I am very pleased with the academics.
I am so glad the neighborhood is taking back the school! I look around the campus during recess and think what a gem of a school. As a small neighborhood school the children receive individual attention and are known by name by all the teachers and staff. I am impressed by the spirit of the school, the dedication of the PTA, and the support of the local community. I see the positive direction they are heading in and feel lucky to have such a wonderful school in my neighborhood.
I have worked at T.Judah for many years. We have wonderful teachers, great instructional programs, and the nicest kids in Sacramento! It's a fun place to work. Come and visit us.
I am also a parent of a child who luckily had Mrs.Dawson for kindergarten this past year. She was absolutely the best teacher to have for this critical introduction to public education. I am hopeful that First Grade will also prove fruitful, but I am disappointed that a number of kids are not returning to Theodore Judah -- opting instead to attend Phoebe Hearst. // While this is a personal choice, we should all keep in mind that Theodore Judah's principal will begin her second year when the school bell rings in a few weeks. Her leadership, direction and vision for her school and for her students -- her kids -- are definitely worth keeping my child at her school.
The school has won many awards this year. My son loves his teacher and his tutor. He has a lot of friends and the school feels friendly and helpful. I have been very happy with the school and plan to keep my son there for 4th grade next year
I had a son go to Theodore Judah for kingergarten and then moved him to a parochial school. I thought most of the kindergarten teachers were great... My son had all year with Mrs. Dawson.
Theodore Judah is a great little school tucked away in East Sac. We have a new principal that brings a burst of energy with him. He takes time to get to know the students and parents and listens. We have some great programs continuing this year like our Art Docents, music lab, and a great new science lab. Our Library is beautiful and our auditorium has been renovated. A new marquee is on the way to grace the entrance. Our PTA continues to bring great enrichment to our students and last but not least our teachers are priceless.
There is a new principal, so I'm waiting to give him marks one way or the other. They have a music program, science program, GATE program and 4th R. However, I'm not seeing all these programs integrated into high scores from the kids. In fact, many neighborhood parents don't send their kids to this school, because of low test scores. Although the local parents are involved, I would hesitate to say that all parents are involved. Part of the issue, I think, is that the territory for the school is too large and pulls from too large of a student pool. It probably brings down test scores, but I couldn't say for sure.
Although the curriculum looks great and the first impression is good ...the children have complained that there is not a good learning envirnment as there are too many behavioral issues and the issues are not being handled in a positive manner. The children are labeled and not given the opportunity for constructive input.
Sad to say, since another parents note in January 2003, there has been no change in extracurricular activities. Educational field trips is basically non-existant. Though this school is in a great neighborhood, it really needs help in their overall program - from their educational curriculum to the personal enrichment the school should provide our children. We do our part to development our children and the school system needs to do their part to add to that development. Our children are limited by the education program at this school. I look forward to my child moving on to Junior High where my research has discovered a greater system of education and an even better opportunity to get involved in extracurricular activities. Unfortunately, the new principal has not offered hope for the near future.
The school is going through changes that I think will be for the better. My children have excellent teachers. The PTA is quite strong and I expect there will be more extracurriular activities in the future.
Located in a lovely neighborhood, this little school has had its ups and downs. The principal of many years has left and the new principal is rigid and has terrible people skills. The art program is by the PTA. Due to low enrollment many students had to change classes three weeks after school started. Now the worst school in the district, the parents do what they can, but over all the administration hobbles them.

Stock Pot Quality vs. Meat Stock Clarity
In cooking a beef stock and following all the golden rules (cold water to simmer blanching, cold water rinse and simmer) does the material/quality of the stock pot make a significant impact in the clarity of the resulting product?
Online, a 100qt stock pot ranges in prices online from $100 to $500+. What makes one stock pot superior to another? Are there advantages to aluminum over stainless steel?
I was told a rumor that certain stock pots result in a clearer beef stock. Is there any truth to this assertion?
No difference in my experience., A heavier/thicker stock pot can go to and hold a slow simmer better than a cheaper one, with no hot spots or warping.
For great stock consider a slow cooker.
For crystal clear stock consider the freezing method. Takes time but nothing could be simpler or more effective. http://fromcooktotrainedchefandbeyond... OTOH, the stock loses all the collagen and, with it, a lot of the richness.
Oops! I see if you're interested in a 100qt pot that a slow cooker is NOT going to be any sort of solution for you. =o
re: rainey
Why would you make stock and then purposely remove the gelatin from it???
re: joonjoon
To clarify it, as you might for a consume or other clear sauce. If necessary, you can re-add gelatin after the stock is clarified.
Technically, you would most likely do it with broth, not bones-only stock, but most people use the terms interchangeably anymore.
There are other methods of clarification I haven't tried yet but that seem quite interesting.
Would be a good deal quicker than the freezing method. I don't know how it works for liquids that already contain gelatin. Will have to try it sometime.
re: mahi03
Yes indeed! Even 4qts takes quite a while. At least overnight and maybe longer. Plus it monopolizes a lot of real estate in the fridge while it's happening.
Still, it's a neat thing to do for the experience and to marvel at the impeccable clarity but once was enough for me.
re: mahi03
Sounds like this is a commercial venture. Have you considered all the implications of creating 400 quarts of beef broth daily?
A full 100 quart pot of broth will weigh over 200 lbs not even counting the weight of the pot, so you'll probably need a spigot arrangement, as kaleokahu mentioned.
Another question: Do you have a stove powerful enough to bring 100 quarts of broth to a simmer in a reasonably short period of time? As a beer home brewer, I've done 5 gallon batches, starting with about 8 gallons of liquid, and it takes three hours to come to a slow boil on a home stove. I ultimately bought a 175,000 BTU outdoor propane burner, which could bring eight gallons to a boil in about 20 minutes.
For your purposes, you really need a steam-jacketed kettle, not a stock pot. Even used, it's probably going to cost in the vicinity of $5,000, if a few quick web searches are any indication.
Quine's got it right: the ability to hold simmer and avoid sudden boils will do wonders for eventual clarity even with the bathtub of a stock pot you're looking at.
500 mL agar gel filtration via the freezer method is about 30 hours for me; 500 mL gelatin filtration via the freezer method is upwards of 48 hours. Ergo syneresis isn't going to help you clear the stock (and you do have that pesky mouth feel issue to contend with too). I do have one suggestion which can improve on clarity for the volume if you use it properly: the Superbag.
By the way, what exactly would you use to skim a 100 qt stockpot? Giant spoon?
re: wattacetti
Chefs tell me the pot makes little difference for stock. You can buy a cheap or expensive pot.
I bought a cheap one (stainless steel) and am very happy. Are you running a restaurant??
Copper offers a quicker chill in the icebath after, but at 100L, who's gonna lift it?
I have seen some large, old, premium stockers equipped with a drain spigot which, if connected to a spiral beer wort-chiller (heat exchanger) in a separate icebath, would greatly improve clarity with little mess.
Yes, its indeed a commercial venture. Production could well exceed 400qts but I thought I would put that figure out there as I'm not sure additional scale would make a difference in the discussion.
I would be using commercial 18" stock pot ranges in the 90,000 BTU range. As I'll be simmering stock, I never intend to hit boiling point, only a simmering point.
The entire simmering process will take 8+ hours, so I'm willing to be patient bringing that volume of liquid to a boil.
But as I will be purchasing 10-12 of these 120-150qt stock pots, which range in price from $120-$1k, the difference in financial investment is material. However if a heavier duty, better stock pot exist that can help with the clarity of the stock, I would be willing to spend the extra capital.
Don't think the ice-bath will be logistically feasible at this scale. Perhaps just add cold/ice water to the broth as the final step. I might have to consider spigots/faucets which will allow the broth to drain into 5 gallon buckets for storage/transport and to lighten the load, or the use of a siphon/pump to transport stock from the pot to the bucket.
Watacetti - you got it, a giant ladle/skimmer
All of the responses have been very helpful, please let me know your thoughts.
re: mahi03
I had not thought of the steam kettle option before. But for 400qts (100 gallons), the steam kettle would cost $10k+ vs. $5 k for 4 18" stock pot ranges and 4 120qt vollrath stockpots with a faucet.
re: mahi03
Due to the quantities, just plan on getting the 100 gallon steam jacketed kettle (for day one) -- you will need to pump the liquid (through a filter) into multiple (smaller) stock pots. The size of the stock pot is important, since you have food safety issues -- it should allow the stock to chill through "danger zone" between 140F and 40F as quickly as possible.
This is a huge thermal load -- make sure the cooler can do the job. Again, this is a food safety issue when you are looking at these quantities.
The chilled stock can be clarified in the stock pots on day two -- clear-meat is added to the stock, the stock heated back to the simmer, and the stock drained off through a cheesecloth and strainer once a raft of scum forms. (Meanwhile, back at the steam kettle you are preparing another day's stock).
re: mahi03
Sorry to nag but:
I note that those Vollrath stock pots with faucets are explicitly *not* NSF listed - probably because the faucets can't be broken down for proper cleaning. Does your health inspector require NSF listed equipment?
re: srgoodman
MikeB3542 - I'll look more into the steam jacketed kettle. The equipment is at a much higher price point and I have no previous experience with it. I'd be cooking multiple stocks so the investment would actually be in 3 100 gallon steam kettles.
srgoodman - Thats an excellent point. I believe all the equipment will have to be NSF certified, It appears Lincoln makes some in the 80qt size which would not be large enough.
Perhaps the easiest solution would be to use a food grade siphon (of some sort), and siphon broth at 140F into food-grade 5 gallon buckets and then immediately frozen in the walk-in freezer.
But I will have to check with the health department on their guidelines for this process...
re: mahi03
For what you'll be paying, you should have your stainless kettle(s) altered to add 1" or 1.5" SS tri-clover fittings at he bottoms, then everything (blinds, gaskets, clamps, screens, valves, sample valves, hoses, etc. ) is NSF approved
re: mahi03
Five gallon buckets into a freezer will give your health inspector a conniption fit. Won't get cold enough fast enough; the center will spend a long, long time at 80 degrees, which is perfect temperature for growing bacteria. You need to rapidly chill the stuff, in six hours, by fda standards, only four in a number of places. 100 quarts of 140F liquid has a lot of heat to give off to get below 40F, and will almost certainly require special equipment.
Before you spend any money, do yourself a favor, and hire a consultant who's done this, and can show you the numbers. Don't say you can't afford it. It'll cost you a whole lot less than buying equipment that won't do what you want it to will.
re: dscheidt
Yes agreed, after further research I've realized this. I will look into a consultant. Would running cool water through a steam kettle achieve this feat?
re: mahi03
For ten gallons or so, which is the biggest scale I've worked at, the usual technique is hotel pans in an ice bath, or cold paddle, which is a plastic thing filled with water and then frozen. It goes right into the pot, which increases the surface area that's exposed to cold, which decreases the time it takes the food to get cold. Rule of thumb for pans in ice baths is a quart of hot stuff takes three or four pounds of ice.
For your sort of scale, I suspect you're looking at a blast chiller. Think convection oven, but blowing cold air instead of hot air, and capable of rejecting a whole heck of a lot more heat than a typical freezer.
re: dscheidt
Thanks! I spoke to a steam kettle rep and they mentioned a blast chiller as well. However, most blast chillers cool items on 12x20 pans. From what I've seen online thus far, blast chillers also dont' seem to accommodate this kind of scale.
Several of the steam kettle manufacturers have cook/chill systems, where the food product is squeezed into bags and then cooled in a tumble chiller. The bagging process seems superfluous given that the bags would just be re-opened back into a stock pot.
I think the steam jacketed kettle is the route to go, if I grow large enough. Its hard to justify the additional expense of a couple 100 gallon kettles right now until the overall concept is proven profitable, and I may be left extra care with a dozen 150 qt stock pots to produce the stock, at least to start.
Any suggestions on a siphon? I would imagine a 1" food grade hose would be all I need.
re: mahi03
I think what you need is a pump, not a siphon. Food grade pumps aren't that expensive - $200 or less.
A thought:
What you're doing is not entirely unlike brewing beer. You are heating a liquid for a period of time with a number of ingredients. After heating, the mixture needs to be filtered and cooled. Your scale isn't much below the smaller microbreweries, which work on seven barrel (217 gallon) systems.
Are there any microbreweries in your area? If so, why not try calling some of them, tell them what you're trying to do (so they know you're not a competitor), and ask for some assistance? Most microbreweries I've been to (a lot! ;-) ) are run by very friendly people who love to show off their stuff. I think if you hook up with the right place, you can get a lot of good ideas on how to set up, and maybe even some pointers on where to pick up some used equipment cheap.
Don't be surprised if you leave with a few good beers in your belly, too!
re: srgoodman
This is actually a fine suggestion, but also try this: Look into the "Heavy Recreational" multi-station brewing assemblies called "brew sculptures". They come in all sizes, usually include big burners, large, spigoted tuns and wort chillers, and the stations are positioned so that they drain by gravity to the next station. Check them out at GW Kent or Morebeer.com
re: kaleokahu
Thank you very much, all great suggestions. I will give some microbreweries a call.
The steam jacketed kettle option seems more and more like it is worth the investment, at least at this current scale.
Will the use of these kettles allow for any easy options for cooling of the liquids to adhere to health requirements?
re: mahi03
Also, I'd like to use my nuclear reactor to power XM-3h and XM-3z fusa cartridges for a small business. (Sorry, but I'm not allowed to give more details.) Will I need to employ special gloves to handle the plutonium-239, or can I just grab lightly and toss? I've been reading A LOT on the Web but still don't feel comfortable with fissile material(s), because (heh-heh) I slept through that entire course.
re: Harry Niletti
To my knowledge, I am unaware of precedent examples utilizing a larger scale production and distribution of frozen meat stock (I am more than happy to share more details to the extent that details are needed).
Given the lack of precedence, I seem to be somewhat limited to commercial equipment reps, and resources such as chowhound, which have kindly suggested micro-breweries and restaurant consultants as potential next steps. There are a myriad of 'similar' applications (home brewing) which may offer solutions which I am exploring. At this point in time, the 'best' solution seems to be the use of steam kettles to cook the stock. And I am still in need of a solution to chill the stock.
re: mahi03
I'm glad you got the friendly joke. ;-)
Almost everything in this thread is well known to experienced home cooks. I recommend quick visits with the pros. For example: (1) one of the large-scale commercial producers -- to see if you can adapt their methods to your much smaller-scale needs; (2) a chain that makes its own soups (Whole Foods or Souper Salad, e.g.); or (3) a top-quality restaurant-supply house. Out here in Southern California, Surfas ( www.thesurfasgroup.com ) would be a good choice. I'd be very surprised if someone there couldn't give you excellent advice based on their experience with restaurants or other small businesses making similar quantities of stock. Good luck!
re: Harry Niletti
Thanks! appreciate the feedback.
On #1, I have been seraching for comparables in the market to seek help from, although I have had difficulty identifying such comps. The brewery as suggested by others was a great lead which I will follow up on.
The Cook-chill method seems to be a popular method for most of the steam kettle manufacturers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yLZ9E...). This would seem like a good choice for large varities of kettle products, but less if I would be recombining all the packets at the endpoint. There is however, a soup restaurant in my area (San Francisco) that I will try to seek some help from.
I've reached out to several restaurant supply houses both locally and online who have not yielded any viable solutions, but will continue to dig.
Appreciate the help!
