Read an Excerpt
Bree Kingston had been in Manhattan for five months and twelve days. This was her third visit to the St. Mark's Church basement kitchen, where she and sixteen women she barely knew were exchanging ten days' worth of frozen lunches. She'd gotten invited by Lucy Prince, whom Bree had known for four days. Lucy wasn't part of the exchange. Not anymore. She'd moved to Buffalo with her fiance, thereby freeing up the fold-out ottoman bed that Bree slept on in the one-bedroom apartment she shared with three other girls. Bree's rent was a steal at seven hundred per month. The stove at the apartment had been nonfunctioning for as long as anyone there could remember.
Technically, this was her sixth visit to the kitchen.
She had gotten permission to come to the communal church basement the evenings before the exchanges to prepare her lunches. Sixteen portions of veggie lasa-gna and medium-heat chili this week packed in small freezer-to-microwave containers, all ready to be handed out during the semimonthly trade.
Although it had sounded odd when she'd first heard about the group, Bree suffered from both of the two major maladies that came with living the Manhattan dream: no decent single men to date and no money.
She'd anticipated both. Since she'd spent most of her twenty-five years planning her escape to The Big Apple, she'd read every article, blog and book about the subject, saved her money like Scrooge as she'd worked her way through college, and even had a decent savings account set aside for emergencies. Bree was in this for the long haul.
Finding the lunch exchange had been a brilliant stroke of luck. Fourteen of the sixteen were also single, worked in the East Village and all of them knew where to find the best happy hours, the cheapest dry cleaning, cell service that actually worked and where not to go on a date, assuming one ever had a date.
Even better, she'd actually made her first real New York friends.
"Attention ladies!" Shannon Fitzgerald, a natural redhead wearing a fantastic knockoff dress Bree had noticed first thing, had needed to shout to get everyone to listen. All of them were standing around a rectangle of tables, their lunches in front of them in neat little stacks. Everyone had brought their own cooler bag with ice packs on the bottom. In a moment, they'd move from pile to pile, an elegant assembly line of working women, all of them under thirtyish, all of them wearing something dark on this December day. All of them except Bree. She had chosen a yellow-and-black plaid skirt and jacket, emphasis on the yellow, handmade from her own copycat pattern. Which would have looked very nice on Shannon, now that Bree thought about it.
"Hush," Shannon said, and in a moment, the room fell silent. "Thank you. I have had an idea," she said.
It wasn't just a sentence. Not the way it was said. No, all the words were IN CAPS and bold, like a headline. The IDEA was going to be good. Exciting. Way more than just a new frozen lunch recipe.
"For those of you who are new" Shannon nodded toward Bree "my family owns a printing press. Fitzgerald & Sons on 10th Avenue and North 50th."
Bree had seen the place. It was huge.
"We do trading cards. Mostly sports, but now everybody and their uncle wants them. Artists use them as calling cards, Realtors do the same. They've got them for Twilight, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and we just finished a ginormous order of official Hip-Hop trading cards."
Shannon paused, looking around the room. Then she smiled. "No one, however, is using trading cards the way they should be usedto trade men.''''
Bree blinked, shot a look at her closest friend, Rebecca Thorpe, only to find Rebecca staring back. They raised eyebrows at each other and Bree was grateful all over again that she and Rebecca had clicked at that very first lunch exchange, despite their obvious differences. Bree was from a little town in Ohio and had a huge middle-class family. Rebecca was an attorney, the only child of a snooty New York family and she ran a charity foundation, one of the biggest in the world. Still, within five minutes of meeting, they'd made plans, exchanged digits and by that night they'd been friends on Facebook and LinkedIn and had already talked on the phone for over an hour.
"Intriguing," someone said, and Bree snapped back to the IDEA and the drama.
Someone else said, "Go on."
Shannon obliged. "Three weeks ago, I went out on a fix up. My cousin knew this guy who worked with this other guy, and you know the drill. He was great. Really. We met at MonteroneI know, risotto to die foranyway, he was good-looking, his job was legit, he'd been with someone, but they'd broken up months ago. It was a really nice blind date, one of the best I've been on in ages. But it wasn't there." The redhead sighed. "Zero chemistry. I knew it, he knew it. However," she said, only it was HOWEVER, "I knew, straightaway, that he and Janice would hit it off like gangbusters."
Every eye turned to Janice. Bree had met her, of course, but she was one of the few Bree hadn't had drinks with. She was a cutie, too. Tall, brunette, great touch with makeup.
Janice grinned. "We've been out three times, and he's fantastic. I can't even believe it." Janice put her hands on the table in front of her and leaned over her frozen chicken enchiladas. "I'm going to meet his mother on Friday."
The whole room said, "Ohhh," in the same key.
"I know," Janice said, standing up again. Back straight, face glowing. As if she'd won not just the spelling bee but aced the math final, as well.
Shannon spoke. "We've all got them, you know. Men who are nice and cute and have steady jobs. Who aren't gay or taken or married and not telling. Combine that with my family's printing press and what you get is "
This was like a Broadway show, Bree thought. Or the Home Shopping Network. She held her breath, waiting for the reveal, the IDEA in all its glory.
Shannon raised her hands. Holding in each one, a card. A beautiful, glossy card. A trading card fit for a Heisman trophy winner, for a Hall of Famer. "On the front," she said, "the picture. Of course." Then she flipped her hands around. "On the back are the important details. The stats that matter."
"Like.. " Bree said, surprised she'd spoken aloud.
"First and foremost," Shannon said, "marry, date or one-night stand."
The women nodded. Hugely important. How much pain in life could be eliminated by knowing who was whom. Each had their place. Bree would never be interested in a marry. Probably not a date, although that would depend. But a one-night stand? God, yes. Someone prescreened? It would be perfection. A Manhattan girl's idea of heaven.
"His favorite restaurant," Shannon added, and again, there was a collective "Uh-huh"
"Because while I'm a gal who likes the pub down the street, some of you might prefer a little Nobu action. Then there's his passion."
Silence followed this statement, but Shannon milked it, in no rush to explain, though even she had her limits. "You know as well as I do that all of them want to talk about themselves, and usually they want to talk about their thing. No, not that thing. I mean, their other main preoccupation. You know, the Yankees, or the stock market, or the iPad or foreign films. If you're into the Mets, you don't want to get stuck with a day trader. Or maybe you do, but, at least, you'll know going in. And finally," she said, taking yet another dramatic pause. "The bottom line. Full disclosure. Snoring might not bother me, but it might bother you. Chemistry is downright fickle. But we all deserve to hear the unmitigated truth. Google can only give you so much, am I right?"
Again, there was silence, but not because anyone was confused. The beauty of the IDEA was sinking in, was gelling, was blooming like a rose in winter. As one, the semimonthly St. Mark's frozen lunch exchange began to applaud.
Hot Guys New York Trading Cards was born.
With a quick glance out the window at the snowplow spitting down West 72nd Street, Charlie Winslow pushed his chair across his office to computer number three, the Mac. There were six altogether, each running a different operating system, each rotating views of his Naked New York media group. There were setups like this, well not exactly like this, but similar enough, in an apartment in Queens, a bungalow in Los Angeles, a flat in London and an office in Sydney. Then there was the huge old mansion in Delaware where the bulk of his servers were housed.
Naked New York was a gluttonous bitch, needing constant attention. What had begun as a single blog about Manhattan in 2005 had become ten separate blogs generating at last count over two-hundred-million page hits per year, and far more importantly, roughly thirty million per annum in advertising revenue. NNY was just like any other conglomerate, only the products manufactured were ideas and opinions, words and tips, photographs and gossip. Ever changing to remain ever pertinent. The revenue stream was one hundred percent advertising, and while Charlie paid a small team of fulltime employees and a very large team of contributors, each blog was his baby whether it focused on celebrities, finance, sports, technology, gaming or even the female perspective on life. He trusted his editors, but it was his name on every masthead.
Which had made Charlie a celebrity, at least in the important cities. He liked that part. Hadn't considered it when he wrote up the initial business plan, but there were worse things than getting invited to every major event and having stunning women eager to accompany him to each one. He wasn't in Clooney's league, but Charlie's determination to remain a bachelor had passed from joke to fact to legend in the span of six years.
His phone rang, a call, not a text, and he answered, his Bluetooth gear attached to his ear directly after his morning shower. "Naomi. How are you today, gorgeous?"
"Filled with wonder and delight, as usual," his assistant said, her voice a nasal Brooklynese, her tone as dry as extra brut champagne.
Charlie grinned. "Any changes?"
"Nope. Just don't forget that the tailor is coming by at eleven. Don't make him wait. You did last time, and while you're precious as diamonds to me, his client list would make you tremble."
"You're always so good for my ego." Charlie glanced at his handset to see who wanted to interrupt his call. It was his cousin Rebecca. Odd, she rarely texted on a workday. "Got to run."
Naomi hung up even before Charlie pulled out the phone's keypad.
What's wrong? Has someone died? CW
A moment later, his phone beeped as his screen refreshed.
Everything's fine. I have a treat for you, though.
He sailed across his floor again, this time to check the stats on one of his latest clients. Their ads had been on rotation in five markets, and they were doing well in four.
What kind of treat? CW
A date.
He laughed. His thumbs flew. Come on, Becca. CW
She was his favorite cousin, which was saying something because he had a ton of them. His parents each had five siblings and they'd all bred like rabbits. Charlie had three siblings of his own, but only one had climbed aboard the baby wagon.
Instead of the beep announcing a return text, his phone rang. Charlie switched to voice.
"Seriously," Rebecca said. "I think you'll get a kick out of her. She's different. She's new. Brand-new. Still, wears colors, for God's sake. And she's bright, tiny, funny and completely starstruck. She'll swoon over you, and make that head of yours so large you won't be able to fit through your front door."
"Ah, Rebecca. I didn't know you cared. She sounds perfect."

Wanted something better that a series of short lived cheapy's. Naively thought it would be good for my allotment as it has a heavy-duty appearance. Demoted to light garden duties where it is barely fit for purpose. Battery charge-life very poor. Cutters will break if in contact with anything thicker than a blade of grass. Planning to buy a replacement.

The average access time, ta, of a moving head disc file can be drastically reduced by the application of multi-track Thin-Film Head Arrays. It is shown analytically that ta= ts+ 16/15(Sm/a)1/2, where tsis the settling time, Sm, the maximum seek length and a, the constant acceleration and deceleration. When eight arrays each containing 25 thin-film heads are used to cover a 50 mm span of disc recording surface with a track density of about 40 track/mm, the average access time on the order of 2 to 6 m sec. can be achieved depending on the settling time, with present batch fabricated vertical inductive head design and constant acceleration and deceleration of 10,000 to 20,000 cm/sec2.

Tough call, but I'd have to give it to the SNES. Super Metroid, Mario World, and SFII to name a few of the games that made it my favorite.
I hope it tanks like it did on X1. What a joke.
Well you certainly won't need an Xbox to enjoy your Xbox exclusives.
I bet you're one of those cloud believers too. Ya know about the cloud right? One of those things MS hyped and didn't deliver.
Xbox "exclusives" are the only exclusive games you don't need an xbox to play. Lol
Either way, I'd take a ripoff of PT over another RE5 or 6 any day of the week.
Mind sharing when Sony announced the specs?
The live orchestra was indeed awesome. I thought for sure at some point it'd be playing the FFVII theme with new game footage. Oh well.
I stopped reading when I got to the all caps part.
Loyalty and freedom.
Oh, like flipping a switch? I don't think it really works that way, they're likely too far in to do anything like that. And second, I don't think they're too worried about Microsoft. The "Scorpio" isn't going to magically fix their problems.
Wonder if they'll be showing off the cloud there?
What a load of bs. And could you point me to any game that looks better than Uncharted 4? Didn't think so, pretty impressive for a soon to be "outdated as hell" console.
Are you salty?
Pope, I'm not sure if you know what obsolete means. It will still be relevant, get over it.
They sure have been quiet haven't they? Did they think people would just forget these bogus pipedreams?
The comparison you're trying to make in an analogy is a guy buying a slightly upgraded newer vehicle vs a car enthusiast building his own muscle car. In other words, it really doesn't work. You people really need to just let it go and let people decide for themselves if it's worth upgrading. And if not, they'll continue to enjoy their PS4 whether the PS4K exists or not if Sony plays this right.
To all you guys saying you'll go to PC: have fun with that. ...
Cheaper in what sense? I'd like a breakdown.
I spent around $1400 on mine and built it myself. My 670 I bought around 3 years ago is dated and struggles with newer games. Yes, you upgrade in increments. Still though a decent card is in the neighborhood of $300 to $400.
I knew all this going in, I'm not complaining. I enjoy PC gaming. I also like console gaming. But saying you're ditching consoles and going PC because of a possibility of a mid life...
You people crack me up. You hate the idea of upgrading hardware, you don't like the idea of other people getting better looking games than you. Yet you say you'd go to PC if this happens. You do realize how little sense that makes, right?
I mean, how often would your GPU be outperformed with a newer better card on the market and how much is that card going to cost you?
Not taking shots at PC gaming here, I have a gaming PC. It's just silly when I ...

The authors consider the encoding of image subbands with a tree code that is asymptotically optimal for Gaussian sources and the mean squared error (MSE) distortion measure. They first prove that optimal encoding of ideally filtered subbands of a Gaussian image source achieves the rate distortion bound for the MSE distortion measure. The optimal rate and distortion allocation among the subbands is a by-product of this proof. A bound is derived which shows that subband coding is closer than full-band coding to the rate distortion bound for a finite length sequence. The tree codes are then applied to encode the image subbands, both nonadaptively and adaptively. Since the tree codes are stochastic and the search of the code tree is selective, a relatively few reproduction symbols may have an associated squared error a hundred times larger than the target for the subband. Correcting these symbols through a postcoding procedure improves the signal-to-noise ratio and visual quality significantly, with a marginal increase in total rate

"If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error." — John Kenneth Galbraith
"If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error." — John Kenneth Galbraith
Sweden holds the modern record for continuous peace.
It has not engaged in war since 1814.
Mr. C.H. Williams, of the Geographical Society of England, tells us how oysters inhabit the Mangrove woods in Cuba: 'For several years I resided in that island, and have several times come across scenes and objects which many people would consider great curiosities — one in particular. Oysters grow on trees, in immense quantities, especially in the southern part of the island. I have seen miles of trees, the lower stems and branches of which were literally covered with them, and many a good meal have I enjoyed with very little trouble in procuring it. I simply placed the branches over the fire, and, when opened, I picked out the oysters with a fork or a pointed stick. These peculiar shell-fish are indigenous in lagoons and swamps on the coast, and as far as the tide will rise and the spray fly so will they cling to the lower parts of the Mangrove trees, sometimes four or five deep, the Mangrove being one of the very few trees that flourish in salt water.'
— Frank H. Stauffer, The Queer, the Quaint and the Quizzical, 1882
The smallest park in the world is Mill Ends Park in Portland, Oregon. You're looking at it: 452 square inches, barely two feet across. The nearby Forest Park is 60 million times as big.
Mill Ends started in 1948, when Oregon Journal journalist Dick Fagan noticed a forgotten hole outside his office on Front Street. He planted flowers and began to write a weekly column about goings-on there, including "the only leprechaun colony west of Ireland."
When Fagan died in 1969, Portland took up the tradition, dedicating Mill Ends as an official city park in 1976. Today it has a swimming pool for butterflies (with diving board), a miniature Ferris wheel, and statues, and it hosts snail races, weddings, and regular rose plantings.
Just goes to show, you don't need a large lot if the location's good.
v. to leave without paying one's bill
Once upon a time, there lived a rich farmer who had 30 children, 15 by his first wife who was dead, and 15 by his second wife. The latter woman was eager that her eldest son should inherit the property. Accordingly one day she said to him, "Dear Husband, you are getting old. We ought to settle who shall be your heir. Let us arrange our 30 children in circle, and counting from one of them, remove every tenth child until there remains but one, who shall succeed to your estate."
The proposal seemed reasonable. As the process of selection went on, the farmer grew more and more astonished as he noticed that the first 14 to disappear were children by his first wife, and he observed that the next to go would be the last remaining member of that family. So he suggested that they should see what would happen if they began to count backwards from this lad. She, forced to make an immediate decision, and reflecting that the odds were now 15 to 1 in favour of her family, readily assented. Who became the heir?

Without a doubt, Bonds would have gotten my MVP vote (if I had one) this year. Albert Pujols and Gary Sheffield had tremendous years, with Triple Crown-type numbers. But if opponents had to pitch to Bonds, he'd threaten for the Triple Crown every year.
Bonds hits for average, power and run-production. Then there's his on-base percentage ... above .500 for the third straight year! And his slugging percentage has averaged in the neighborhood of .800 the past three years. The combination of abilities reflected in these statistics makes Bonds one of the greatest players of all time.
Is he the best of all time? To me, it's impossible to compare ballplayers from era to era. So much was different in past eras: the ballparks, the baseball, the travel, the use of the bullpen. All that makes it difficult to make a definitive statement that Bonds (or anyone else) is the best of all time. But, without question, Bonds is the best ballplayer of his era. And you can certainly make a case that he's the best ballplayer of all time.
Looking ahead, Bonds can win another MVP (or even more) if he wants to. He keeps his body in top physical shape. He just has to decide if he wants to continue to push himself. How important is the all-time HR crown to him? If he wants it, I believe it's his.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs): Tax Incentives for Retirement Savings
Date: November 22, 1982
Creator: Schmitt, Ray
Description: This report discusses Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRA) and their tax incentives. Many workers covered by employer-sponsored retirement plans do not work long enough with one employer to be entitled to a pension. Others may be covered by a profit-sharing plan to which the employer may have little or no profits to contribute. Since these individuals were "covered" by a retirement plan, they were ineligible to make tax-deductible contributions to a tax-sheltered Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA). Many observers considered this a tax inequity and felt that all employees should be eligible to establish their own IRAs or make tax-deductible contributions to their employer's plan. Congress responded to this situation by approving retirement savings incentives for all workers as part of the tax cut bill (H.R. 4242). All workers, whether or not covered by an employer pension plan, are now permitted tax deductible contributions to IRAs up to $2,000 a year.

Description: The Former Presidents Act (72 Stat. 838) of 1958 provides financial and practical means to those who have served as President of the United States and still retain certain implicit public duties. In 1958, the cost of former Presidents to the public was an estimated $64,000. In FY84, approximately $27 million will be spent on benefits to former Presidents and their widows. Operation and maintenance of Presidential Libraries was approximately $14.9 million in FY83.

With continued increases in average life expectancies, retirees in the 21st century will have to stretch their savings and other assets over longer periods of retirement than were experienced by their parents and grandparents.

Date: March 6, 2003
Creator: Kollmann, Geoffrey
Description: This report discusses recent attempts at legislative action regarding changes to the computation of benefits under Social Security Amendments of 1977 (P.L. 95-216), which directly affected retirees born in the 5- to 15-year period after 1916.

Description: This report discusses various proposed changes to the military retirement system, which includes benefits for retirement after an active or reserve military career, disability retirement, and survivor benefits for eligible survivors of deceased retirees. Major issues include whether some or all military retirees should be allowed to receive both military retired pay and any VA disability compensation to which they are otherwise entitled -- referred to as "concurrent receipt" -- whether some military personnel should be entitled to military retired pay with less than 20 years of service, and whether many more personnel should serve well past the 20-year point before retiring.

Undergraduate fees
You are classified as either a home or international student for the purpose of assessing tuition fees. When we refer to UK and EU below this relates to home students. Where your status is not clear from your application form, you will be sent a Fees Assessment Form. For further information and advice, you can consult the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA)
There may be extra costs to your studies. Some will be optional, for example a laptop or tablet, and some will be mandatory, for example a field trip on which piece of work will be based.
Tuition fees for UK and EU students
If you're an eligible full-time or part-time UK or EU student (classified as a home student) you won't have to pay any tuition fees up front unless you want to. You'll be able to apply for a loan from the government to cover the full cost of your tuition fees and you wont have to start paying it back until you are earning at least £21,000 a year.
For students with a household income under £42,600 a year, financial assistance may also be available from us to help cover the cost of your tuition fees.
If you are a UK or EU student planning to come to Leeds in September 2016 our fees will be:
For full-time undergraduate courses
£9,000 per year* for courses starting in September 2016.
*Fees may increase each year in line with government regulations.
Fees will be substantially reduced for a study abroad or work placement year.
For full-time foundation year courses
Fees for foundation years automatically leading on to a degree will be £9,000 per year for courses starting in 2016, but with tuition fee scholarship applied depending on household income:
- £3,000 tuition fee scholarship for students with a residual household income of up to £25,000
- £1,500 tuition fee scholarship for students with a residual household income of £25,001 to £42,600
- students with a residual household income in excess of £42,600 pay the full £9,000 fee
Please note that your fees will be reduced by the above amounts after we have received your household income information from Student Finance.
For part-time undergraduate courses (UK and EU)
Annual fees will for courses starting in 2016 be a proportion of the full-time fee, calculated on the basis of the workload of the part-time course compared to an equivalent full-time course. For more information visit the Lifelong Learning Centre website
Tuition fees for new international students
Below is a table showing the broad fee bands for international undergraduate students starting in 2016. These are only a guide. You should contact the department of your chosen subject (which you can search for in our coursefinder) for the actual fees.
Fees quoted are based on full-time study and apply for each year of the course. These fees are fixed at this level for each year of your course allowing you to plan your finances for the duration of your studies.
|International Foundation Year
|School or faculty
|Undergraduate fees (per year)
|Arts/ Humanities/ Social sciences/ Criminal Justice/ Education/ Law/ Maths
|Business (except Accounting and Finance)
|Accounting and Finance
|Studio-based Arts, eg Design, and combined laboratory and classroom-based courses
|Science/ Computing/ Engineering and laboratory-based courses
|£18,000 to £19,250*
|Undergraduate Clinical Medicine
|Undergraduate Clinical Dentistry
* BA courses in the Faculty of Environment are classed as combined, with £17,000 fees; BSc courses are classed as science-based with fees of £19,000.
The academic fee covers tuition and exam costs as well as membership of the students' union. The fees are higher than for home/EU students because they are not subsidised by the UK government, but you can get financial help from international scholarships
Find out about fees and funding for incoming exchange and study abroad students, and for students on our Leeds International Summer School programme
Sponsored students
If you are supported by your government, employer, or other sponsor, you should provide a letter from them addressed to the University, confirming that the fees will be paid directly. Sponsors cannot pay by instalments.

Tampa, FL: Tampa's Newest Food Truck Debuts at Mayor's Food Truck Fiesta
Food truck franchise Champion Cheesesteaks from Atlanta, GA looks to expand service to Tampa
By Contributor | MiamiHerald.com
TAMPA, Fla. — Champion Cheesesteaks' Founder and CEO Roy Brostrand, announces its concept will roll into Tampa for the first time, Wednesday, January 2rd at the Mayor's Food Truck Fiesta. "Everything just seemed to fall into place," said Roy. In November, Mr. Brostrand was in town working out details for weekly catering for a large industrial client and was very impressed with the permitting process. "Tampa is such a food truck friendly town," he said. "Every official we talked to was so helpful in explaining in detail what was required to operate a food truck in the Tampa Bay area. We are excited to be here and can't wait for the city to taste our cheesesteaks."
Champion Cheesesteaks 1st franchisee, owner/operator, Jeff Wheeler, will be at the helm of the truck. Jeff says its success has come from keeping the menu small and focusing on quality. The menu boasts six sandwiches with options: the traditional Philly cheesesteak made with thinly-sliced ribeye steak; a pizza cheesesteak; a chicken cheesesteak; a chicken parmesan; a veggie Philly and a popular newly added chicken and steak mix cheesesteak. All are served piping hot with options to add extras such as mushrooms and sweet peppers on an Amoroso roll, the Cadillac of rolls. "Our Philly cheesesteaks are authentic," said Mr. Wheeler. "Both our steak and rolls are shipped in from Philadelphia."
Finding Champion Cheesesteaks is easy! You can follow them on Twitter @cheesesteaksFL. They tweet out locations throughout the day. If you're not into tweeting, you can always "Like" them on Facebook to see their weekly schedule at www.facebook.com/ChampionCheesesteaks. Of course, there is the website www.championcheesesteaks.com; but, if you are really looking for the coolest way to find them, use the TruckSpotting app or website,www.truckspotting.com, which use GPS tracking to reveal their location. Whenever they stop and turn on the truck's generator, TruckSpotting pinpoints their location on the city map.
Come join the food truck revolution.

NYPD Officer Anthony Bologna Will Lose Some Vacation Time
Pepper spray is a privilege, not a right.
On Tuesday, the NYPD said that Anthony "Tony Baloney" Bologna will be docked ten vacation days as punishment for pepper-spraying two peaceful Occupy Wall Street protesters. Though the police initially deemed Bologna's actions appropriate and said he used the pepper spray "sparingly," they've now given him three days to either accept the penalty or file an appeal, which could result in more severe consequences. Bologna is reportedly "disappointed" with the decision — a pretty understated reaction to being forced to give up vacation time. Guess he didn't have any big plans!
Meanwhile, one of his victims, 24-year-old schoolteacher Kaylee Dedrick, continues to push Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr. to pursue criminal charges against the cop. After the NYPD announced its disciplinary plan, Dedrick's lawyer, Ron Kuby, suggested that it was nothing more than a slap on the wrist:
"The problem is, Deputy Inspector Bologna went berserk while on duty in a crowded public place and attacked a group of women who were not breaking the law," the lawyer added.
"That's not simply mishandling pepper spray, which makes it sound like he over-seasoned his salad," Kuby said.
That's sure not what it looks like, either. (Unless you have an extremely bad allergy to cayenne, or something.)

Thanks to the Missouri Press Association, the state Blue Book will be printed again. The General Assembly discontinued printing the Official Manual, State of Missouri book, commonly known as the Blue Book because of its traditional blue cover and back.
Since 2011, the Blue Book, has been available only online. Lawmakers discontinued the printed book as a money-saving move, they said.

When, on the event of New Year's.... you sleep with something so damn ugly, that the only way you can ever talk about the event is by saying she was "New Year's Ugly" hoping to any damn god out there that none of your friends know what it means. Also, "New Year's Ugly" girls are known to royally bleed all over your damn sheets so that you can't deny that you slept with them..... Maybe... the worst way ever to bring in a New Year..... Sleeping with a New Year's Ugly will make you count the next 364 days in hopes to making it better next time.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Mexico's Supreme Court made a landmark ruling Tuesday, August 10, in a 9-2 decision that says each of the country's 31 states must honor same-sex marriages registered in the nation's capital, Mexico City.
Supporter's note that Mexico along with several Latin American nations recently are taking the lead when it comes to the equal rights of the gay and lesbian community.
Although several cities throughout Latin America today recognize some form of same-sex civil unions, only Uruguay and Argentina have legalized gay marriages nationwide.
Mexico City was one of the first Latin American capitals to fully recognize such marriages.
Last week Mexico's high court ruled that the law allowing same-sex couples to marry in the nation's capital was constitutional.
In the recent decision two on the high court voted against the ruling, arguing that it would damage the harmony of the federal system.
In December Mexico City's local assembly passed the law, which gives gay and lesbian couples full marital rights, including the right to adopt. The law was enacted in March and since then hundreds of same-sex couples have been married.
The same-sex marriage law in Mexico City states that couples who wed can jointly apply for bank loans, inherit wealth and be covered by their spouses' insurance policies.
However Tuesday's ruling does not obligate state governments to enact same-sex marriages but does require them to recognize the legality of such marriages performed in Mexico City. It's not clear to what degree of recognition must be granted to the couples and some of the provisions may end up applying only in the capital.
Yet gay and lesbian rights activists note the ruling sets a precedent and can potentially lead to Mexico giving same-sex couples full matrimonial rights nationwide in the near future.
The Supreme Court's decision was filed against a complaint from the attorney general's office, which had said that other jurisdictions should not be required to honor marriages that were performed in Mexico City.
That argument backfired.
"What's going to happen to a same-sex couple" who marry in Mexico City "when they cross the border" to another state, asked Justice Arturo Zaldivar, who voted with the majority, as noted in the New York Times. "Does this marriage disappear? They go on vacation and they're no longer married," he said during Tuesday's discussions.
The Supreme Court in Mexico is expected to make a ruling about the legality of allowing adoption by gay couples later this week.
The fight for same-sex rights grew strong opposition from the country's Catholic Church and state governments belonging to the right-leaning National Action Party, which governs nationally.
Activists and supporters of same-sex marriage hope the recent ruling sheds light on the importance of equal rights for the gay and lesbian community. They also believe the ruling will open doors for other cities and nation's around the world to follow suit.

"What Is and What's Next: Making Assessment and New Opportunities," a free webinar focusing on academic, public and school libraries that are building community and supporting student and user success through making, was originally broadcast on Wednesday, March 05, 2014, from 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. CST.
Part of a series of 20 minute webinars presented by the AASL Advocacy Committee in conjunction with School Library Month 2012, this webinar helps school librarians when making the case to justify their school library program needs.
During the webinar, experts will demonstrated ideas on how to raise awareness of our First Amendment rights and the power and value of books every day and not just during one week in September.
NOTE: This past webinar has now been archived. Access to the recording can be purchased. Acclaimed writers and educators/librarians, Pat Scales and James LaRue will talk about difficult conversations with parents. Parents are often coming from an emotional place that has less to do with a book they're upset about and more to do with a changing world and a loss of control as their children grow up. They will share insights to guide the response from defensive to embracing, empathetic, and educational.
Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions pertaining to advocacy issues at their library, as well as learn what resources are available to help make the case for libraries.
NOTE: This past webinar has now been archived. Access to the recording can be purchased. During the webinar, Kristin Pekoll and Millie Davis will focus on ways to prepare your colleagues who may not be as familiar with the First Amendment's right to read and the censorship that is still happening in our country.
Running a successful library frequently requires political savvy. Whether you're working on a community-wide initiative, proposing an annual budget, or just want to make sure you have a seat at the table, it helps to know what makes city and county officials tick. Learn how to make the connections, open up communications, and help your library get the attention it deserves.
he Declaration for the Right to Libraries initiative has flourished as a successful public awareness, advocacy and community engagement tool since its launch last year. This final, free webinar in ALA President Barbara Stripling's Libraries Change Lives series will feature case studies of how this initiative is being used to create positive change in libraries. The webinar was broadcast on Monday, June 9, 2014.
ALA President Barbara Stripling's Winter Webinar series "Building Community Through Making," featuring nationally recognized speakers and innovative library leaders, began Monday, Dec. 16, 2013.
Navigating government offices and officials can be complicated and incredibly overwhelming. But advocacy is important. Speakers, Lisa Lindle, Grassroots Communications Specialist of the Office of Government Relations and Deborah Caldwell Stone, Deputy Director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom are going to make communication easy and accessible.

School's out, Stay active
As kids across the country eagerly anticipate that final school bell signaling the official start of summer, parents grow anxious at the prospect of entertaining and funding six weeks' worth of fun-filled family time. But health leaders are reassuring mums and dads that there are numerous cost effective summer solutions right at their fingertips to keep the little ones busy indoors or out.
First, visit the Change4Life website: (http://www.nhs.uk/Change4Life/Pages/local-change-for-life-activities.aspx ), enter your postcode, select whether it's an indoor or outdoor activity you'd like and the number of children involved, and a range of local activities will appear to choose from.
Physical activity is essential for a child's health. It helps them develop strong bones and muscles, maintain a healthy weight and helps promote their independence. Most of all, physical activity can be great fun for all the family.
Your local council will be organising sports clubs, theatre groups and various other events during the summer, so keep an eye on their website.
It's important that children stay active and enjoy the outdoors during their time away from the classroom. There are so many opportunities for children and families to be active in the Solihull area. So, would urge everyone to make time for outings to the local parks, wood or nature reserves and get the kids walking, running and playing. Cycling is a very cheap form of exercise and one that can be enjoyed by all ages.
Keep on top of hay fever this summer
Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is offering expert guidance for hay fever sufferers on how to cope during the summer.
One in five people in the UK are affected by hayfever – which causes itchy, red and watery eyes, blocked and runny nose, itchy throat and palate, wheeze and even difficulty in sleeping.
People in Solihull urged to stay 'sun safe' this summer
With the school holidays about to begin, NHS Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is urging people to take care when enjoying the sunshine.
Keeping active in the fresh air is good news for our health but exposure of unprotected skin to the sun's harmful rays can cause serious problems including sunburn, heatstroke and even cancer.
