He describes both growth in size (of collections, of readers, of staff), as well as in form (evolution), although he devotes most of this chapter on the former. Ranganathan had already spent much of the first half of the book detailing the evolution of the laws of library science from "Books are for Preservation" to "Books are for use", and from "Books are for the Chosen Few" to "Every Reader His Book". And while he "cannot anticipate fully...what further stages of evolution are in store for this Growing Organism -- the library...", his Fifth Law ensures the understanding that libraries will continue to grow and evolve, or they will perish.
Regarding the growth in size, Ranganathan laments the "modesty" that library administrators underestimate the rate of growth of their charges. Even worse, he charges, is acting on this assumption of little change, and setting in motion "a faulty organisation obstructing the free development of a library...to its full stature."
He then associates library collection sizes with publication rates in the world. He lists the book production for 1927. I added 2011 numbers for comparison:
Country | 1927 | 2011 |
Russia | 36,680 | 123,336 | 336% |
Germany | 31,026 | 93,124 | 300% |
Japan | 19,967 | 78,555 | 393% |
India | 17,120 | 82,537 | 482% |
Great Britain | 13,810 | 206,000 | 1492% |
France | 11,922 | 67,278 | 564% |
United States | 10,153 | 288,355 | 2840% |
Ranganathan then lists the annual rates of accession in some of the largest libraries, listed here with the latest rates I could find:
Library | 1927 | 2011 | Rate | Source |
Library of Congress | 202,111 | 454,212 | 225% | 2010 Annual Report |
Cambridge University Library | 90,916 | 139,948 | 154% | 2010 Annual Report |
Birmingham Public Library | 28,566 | 166,847 | 584% | Local Library Standards Audit 2010-2011 |
Imperial Library, Calcutta | 7,832 | 62,773 | 801% | Calculated by comparing data from the Encyclopedia of Library Science1 and the National Library's Web site |
I wanted to include others listed, but getting the acquisitions data on libraries is not easy.
It is interesting, though, that it appears that Ranganathan's attempt to associate publication rates with library collection size has broken down over time. It is interesting that the LoC acquisitions was only two & a quarter times the number of over 80 years before, while the number of items published is 28 times. This indicates that libraries have ceased being the storehouses (even the LoC) of all information. That merely changes the relationship of the publication rates with the collection growth rates.
But Ranganathan moves on to describe how libraries should be able to accommodate the natural growth (which R. assumed would continue unabated). After addressing how to make the physical building and furniture flexible for this growth in size, he then addresses the need for the classification system to accommodate growth. Not unsurprisingly, he laments the Library of Congress Classification System for using a "primitive method of leaving gaps int he ordinary serial use of numbers," while promoting Dewey's system as "a demonstration of the immense potentiality of the decimal fraction." But most of all, he admonishes libraries to use standard classifications rather than tweaking systems or making their own.. He does mention the Colon Classification system he was then developing (at the time of the second edition), in that its mixed alphanumeric format and use of decimal formats are able to apply the three aspects of analytico-synthetic scheme: phase, facet and zone.
Next, Ranganathan turns his attention to the growth in number of readers that will inevitably occur as both the population increases and the Second Law brings about changes to that population (greater availability of reading material, increased literacy, "open access" shelves). I worry a bit, though, that with the decreasing emphasis on reading print books, libraries have been moving their books into long-term storage. While there have been improvements that decrease the amount of time it takes to retrieve a book, this policy effectively closes the stacks again, reversing the efforts made over a century ago. As electronic books can eventually replace print books, the print-to-electronic ratio may take a while to reach 1:1. Will the shift of collections reduce the availability of materials to such an extent that it has a detrimental effect on access to information?
Finally, he addresses not only the growth in size of the library, but also in form. Here, however, his foresight is limited and he focuses the progress that has already occurred. He discusses the gradual shift from keeping books chained like prisoners to "stock-taking" to limited "stock-use" to the "highly differentiated and complicated character of the organisation of the library to-day". He returns to the "growing organism" metaphor by celebrating the variety of libraries as "species" with their own "problems and peculiarities" but also with "common features".
He ends this chapter on his final law detailing "the vital principle of the library" -
"it [the library] is an instrument of universal education, and assembles together and freely distributes all the tools of education and disseminates knowledge with their aid."There would be no better way for S.R. Ranganathan to end his treatise on library science and librarianship.

"Praise Him IN the garbage" was repeating and repeating in my mind. I went up front to the whiteboard and wrote, "Victory not defeat" and we slowly changed the atmosphere of that room to one of joyful victory.
I literally KNEW that each dance step, clap and voice was doing warfare because we were doing the opposite of what the enemy wanted. It was so real to me. Then as the music changed to silly and fun tunes, I knew that now the dance was a true Victory Dance! I cannot fully describe how amazed I was at such a personal change in attitude coming so quickly and the joy I feel that I had a small part in it! Thank you Father, You are simply TOO good to me!"

Racing Medication and Testing Consortium completes approval of rules for allowable medications
A racing industry group that devises recommendations for U.S. medication policies on Tuesday approved withdrawal times and threshold levels for four therapeutic medications, completing a process to establish the parameters for a list of 24 therapeutic drugs that will be allowed to be administered to racehorses under new model rules.
The board of the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium adopted the withdrawal times and threshold levels for procaine penicillin, lidocaine, detomidine, and xylazine. All four drugs are on a "special interest" sub-category of the larger list that includes seven drugs, all of which will be subject to stricter regulations than the other 17 medications because they are used to treat illness or injury, rather than relatively minor respiratory or gastric conditions or common aches and pains.
The adoption of the regulatory parameters for the final four drugs on the list will allow supporters of uniform rules to press for adoption of the complete list. Already, eight states along the Eastern seaboard and in the Mid-Atlantic have pledged to adopt the list and the regulations accompanying them by the end of the year, including New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.
"These guidelines will pave the way for uniform adoption of medication regulations across the country," said Dr. Robert Lewis, the chairman of the RMTC.
Racing industry groups have been working for two years to set the parameters for the medications on the list. The list has so far generated wide support from most racing organizations, though horsemen's groups have expressed some reservations about minor aspects of the rules that could complicate the adoption process in some states.
Under the uniform rules, the finding of any drug other than the 24 medications on the approved list will result in a penalty. Traces of the 24 medications will be allowed to appear in post-race samples, but only at concentrations – threshold levels – that have been determined to be pharmacologically insignificant.
The establishment of threshold levels allows horsemen to treat horses with the medications while the horses are in training as long as the drugs do not affect a horse's performance on raceday. All racing jurisdictions around the world use threshold levels for a variety of medications, as do the drug-testing bodies of other sports.
The RMTC also approved a new regulation that seeks to prevent horsemen from using multiple painkillers in low doses, a process called "stacking." Under the regulation, if two painkillers are found in a post-race sample, the second painkiller will be subjected to a lower threshold level than the standard threshold level, to prevent horsemen from using the two drugs to bring about a higher pain-killing effect than contemplated under the regulations for the use of one of the drugs.
"The administration of multiple [painkillers] is a welfare and safety concern for our equine and human athletes," said Dr. Rick Arthur, the chairman of the RTMC's Scientific Advisory Committee and the California Horse Racing Board's Equine Medical Director.
In regards to "stacking", why muddy the waters and subject the second painkiller to a lower threshold level. Makes more sense to allow only one and the second a punishable offence.
Please publisht the latest list with the threshold levels.
Please remove clenbuterol from the allowable list for a hundred reasons and please test for blood doping for a thousand more reasons.

California Thanksgiving for 8 to 10
- share
California cooking benefits from the state's abundant year-round produce—when much of the country is limited to apples, pears, potatoes, and squash, this large Western state enjoys a more plentiful cornucopia of local fruits and vegetables. Our menu focuses on some of California's culinary highlights with a lemon- and garlic-infused gravy, sourdough stuffing with raisins, marinated olives, and persimmon-studded cranberry sauce. We also include a salad to acknowledge California's reputation as the nation's salad bowl and for dessert, we chose a Chocolate, Caramel, and Walnut Tart inspired by legendary California chef Wolfgang Puck.

Last summer on our family vacation to Yellowstone National Park, we actually got to see a grizzly bear. Fortunately for safety's sake, it was from a very far distance while we were on a rafting trip, but I was surprised at its color. I had expected grizzlies to be dark brown, but the one we saw from a distance on a our rafting trip was actually a lighter brown -- closer to something out of the Crayola box like Raw Sienna or Sepia. I learned later that grizzly bears have a range of coloration, from light brown to almost black.
So that left me wondering why almost all the women in Sarah Palin's recent 'embrace your inner mama grizzly' video are white?
I hadn't focused on it the first time I watched Palin's self-promotional commercial. I hate to give it more attention than it's worth -- apparently it's not getting much traction (thankfully) in the blogosphere, so it doesn't look like it's going viral anytime soon. But if a picture is worth a thousand words, is Palin trying to tell us that "common sense conservative" women are mostly Caucasian? Or that you can't have a "mom awakening" unless your skin tone really is pink like her lady elephants? I haven't scanned the video frame by frame, but I only caught one quick glimpse of a face that looked brown to me.
Even if Palin isn't prepared to include mothers across either the political or color spectrum in her efforts, I'd think that as the highest profile representative of a political movement that's fighting against claims that it's got racist members would be a smidge more sensitive to how this rally-the-moms effort looks when we're watching in technicolor.
If she wants to continue down this road, Palin needs to re-brand and adopt a "mama polar bear" theme, that is, unless she's ready to reach out to mothers of all skin tones who want to embrace their inner political wonks.
Joanne Bamberger writes the progressive political blog, PunditMom. Her book about the rising influence of mothers in the world of politics in the age of social media will be published later this year by Bright Sky Press. She's also quite excited to be speaking at Netroots Nation '10 about how progressive women are the key to future election wins!

Now that's more like it!
Here are the learnings: 1) The company Handwound Transformers may not have the best reputation. 2) Noobs should stick with SE because of simplicity. 3) Hammond is the first-timer's best choice - more affordable, and good sounding. 4) A stereo 300B amp, even for a novice, will likely cost over $500 if they use hammond parts. Better to spend a couple more bucks than to get bad/unreliable parts and ruin the whole experience. 5) Kit amps are a good alternative to first-time amp builders, and there are kit amps at reasonable prices. As a side note, I've wound magnetic cores before, but never cores that require continuous DC current (bias). I wouldn't sweat winding a push-pull OPT, but I'm dubious about a SE OPT. You guys have success at winding air-gapped cores? I haven't tried, so I can't speak out of experience. |

However, PP amps take a long time to build, and usually sound pretty good after some tweaking. Another good option for a n00b is to rebuild a vintage PP amp. Thats what I did, it was pretty good fun. |

But seriously, a better route would probably be Lundahl LL1664 for $210 a pair. You could then scrounge up a good power transformer and pertinent chokes from a surplus dealer. John |

I happen to agree....
The "weak-link" in any well designed amp will be the iron, either interstage or output. I can take the exact same $100 collection of parts - tubes, caps, chokes - and it all depends on the OPT if it will sound good. Average OPTs will make average sound. Great trannys are expensive. I like the theory that you buy really good "core" parts, such as OPTs and interstages, and then you can DIY a million circuits around 'em. The cost happens once, but it gives you a good foundation to test all sorts of designs. My Plitrons are for push-pull. I don't have "good" SE trannys right now. I've got too many projects going to do an SE design at the present .... maybe later .... |

Agree 100% with John and Kashmire in the last two posts re Tx quality and how sensible it is to spend the bucks on good iron which can be re-used in other projects, or sold later for a smaller loss (than tubes etc).

$280?? I got a pair of Tamura F-475 and A-395 choke (brand new) for that amount... and yes, you can build a 300B using these. heck, they were cheaper than my MagneQuest DS-025 that I got for $300. A pair of Tango U-808 (with UL tap) also goes for about $270.
so many options |

kit amps
Recall, the handwound transformer deal also includes the power tranny along with the choke and output.
I agree, so many options, but I was exploring the idea of getting a 300B amp built for less than $500. That means the stereo pair of SE OPT, power transformers, and chokes would need to cost less than $300. That narrows down the options quite a bit, but there's still options out there. As it has been pointed out, there's some good kit amps that I need to recommened to my aspiring DIY friends. |

iFone New Years Story
The iPhone had been buried in a huge pile of snow plowed to clear Main Street after the storm a few days before Christmas. On December 26, under a bright sun and a thaw, the snow pile began to shift and sink, and by Wednesday morning, like a receding glacier giving up its dead, it gave up the phone. I found it lying face up, balanced on a small column of ice, a pedestal protected from the sun by the phone's own shadow.
Its face was smeared with mud and grit. No cracks, no apparent damage. I carried it into the coffee shop and laid it on the table. It seemed so vulnerable, so bereft of connection and purpose. Bought myself a coffee and took a closer look. The outer case was purple rubber, wrapped around an inner protective layer of hard pink plastic. An expensive case on a new $800 phone. From the look of the case I guessed that the owner was a woman, probably in her 30s. Perhaps the phone was a pre-Christmas gift, and because it had been a week since she lost it, she was probably about to give up on ever seeing it again.
It lay on the table in a tiny puddle of snowmelt. I pushed the buttons that should have brought it to life, but it was unresponsive. At the very least this was a phone with a dead battery. At most it was a waterlogged chunk of delicate electronics that had given up the ghost. A digital ghost, though, which if the owner had made the proper prior arrangements, would have departed no further than some server farm run by Apple in Boise or Fresno or, I dunno, Kansas City. This phone would not have shuffled off its mortal coil.
So, look, how smart really is a phone like this? Smart enough to have feelings? Smart enough to know the choking panic of being buried alive in an avalanche? Certainly smart enough to know where it is, and whether it's right side up or upside down. Could a device like this love its owner as much as its owner loves it? Is there a bond, a relationship? If your face were touched a hundred times a day by the same finger, the print of which could also serve to unlock you, would you not feel some type of affection, some longing, some need for that attention? But no, it's silly to call it love, because love is more, is it not, than the negotiation, the bid we make for attention?
As its battery drained, electric juice siphoned off by monitoring the signals from cell towers and GPS satellites, by incoming messages and notifications and calls no doubt from its owner who probably walked this street in the day after she lost it, using somebody else's phone to call her own, listening with a sinking heart for that ring tone…as the phone sank into coma, isn't it possible that it may, in some rudimentary way, have felt its loss, perhaps even that terror that all living creatures feel, the terror of being alone?
It is, after all, why we love these devices so completely, is it not? They have become our talismans, our protection against that original fear. If we need them so desperately, doesn't it seem possible that they may need us in the same way? Isn't that the way human beings domesticated dogs? Or the way mitochondria, which were originally free-swimming microbes, set up housekeeping inside our cells? But, honestly, aren't we just about there? Love aside, the phones can't exist without us, and how long will it be before we can't exist without them?
I plugged this lost phone into a charger when I got home, and watched it blink to life under the mud on its face. Five minutes later, with a series of bleats, message notifications began to pour in. A dozen, two dozen and more. So now I knew her first name, M., and I knew that her phone was alive, and I knew that a lot of people had been trying to reach her.
I let the phone charge for another 15 minutes, found that it was not locked or passworded, and, with some reluctance, because I have a strong taboo against poking around in other peoples' private spaces, I swiped into her phone. I checked Maps first, and found she had set up a Home route. So her phone could actually lead me to her house in a nearby town if I had no other way of finding her.
I looked at a couple of her photos to see if I recognized anybody, but went no further when all I saw were strangers. The next, least invasive, place for me to go was Contacts. Her list was short, and one of them was Heather, a friend and neighbor of mine. I called Heather, but her message box was full. Next in Contacts I found Laura, no last name. Obviously a close friend.
So yes, Laura answered my call and gave me M.'s land line. Laura told me that her good friend M. would be one very, very happy woman. Half an hour later I put M.'s phone in her hand. She seemed close to tears. She hugged me. It had been a rough week for her in several ways she said, but against all her expectations, her phone had come home. We hugged again…for some reason I can't really explain, I felt deeply grateful to her.
It has been a long time since I've enjoyed the gift of being a partner to some stranger's good fortune. I liked the feeling. I want more of it. Perhaps I should spend this next year looking for more lost phones. Or perhaps I should find a more direct way of putting good fortune out into the world. It will be a happy new year.
Fractal #38: The Gentleman in Harvard Square
He sat in the cold on a dilapidated wheelchair, leaning heavily on his one good but crooked arm. As we walked by he caught Joan's eye with an urgency that seemed beyond the standard panhandler's flat appeal. From the way his mouth hung lopsided and slightly open I assumed the disability that twisted him had also garbled his speech. Whatever he was trying to say to Joan, though, made her stop in front of him. He pointed to an empty container of soup and plastic spoon on the sidewalk beside his chair, and then fluttered both hands towards a trash can. Joan picked up his empty bowl and tossed it in the can then turned back to him. He gestured for her to come back, come closer. She glanced at me, then approached. He gently took her gloved hand in his, and pressed his lips to the back of her hand.
A Thousand Shades of Green: Spring in NH
Those of us who have been living under winter's cold, white thumb for the past month sometimes lose all sense of perspective. Harsh winters somehow manage to lock down our feeling for the passage time. We feel trapped in the timeless Now, a place of never-ending ice and snow and cold. Gee, sounds a bit like the plot for a fairy tale, no? But faith in the flow of the seasons evaporates like the sublimation of ice at 20 below. O my god, we will be here forever. But no, friends in cold lands, do not lose faith. Spring will come, as it always has. And lest you've forgotten what it looks like, I offer you this memory. A little movie made from the footage I shot at D Acres, a small farm in northern NH.
Drink in the green.
Bidding for Attention: Share it with me
I'm standing by my computer with an old hard drive in my hand. It's the size of a small paperback book, and it's warm because it's been running. But it won't boot. I pull the power connector, let the drive spin down, then plug the power back in and thump the drive on the table while it spins up. The data is in there, but the search head is stuck and can't read the disk.
If I were writing about dementia this would be an easy analogy, but I'm writing about love.
The reason I need this drive to boot is that it may hold the only copy of the layout files I created ten years ago to publish my father-in-law's 275-page memoir. The printing company can't find their copy of the files. Two printings of the book are sold out, and the historical museum in his home town has just placed an order for more.
Joan is in the kitchen inventing tasty puréed food recipes for her 94-year-old father who has trouble swallowing. I'm increasingly frustrated, thumping the hard drive on the table, when I suddenly realize Joan is standing next to me holding a big spoon up to my mouth brimming with some sort of lurid green goo.

Do What You're Told: Why the Milgram experiment still haunts me
If you know what the Milgram experiment was, odds are that you are middle-aged or older, with a BA in the liberal arts, or even, god forbid, psychology. Less likely is that the experiment remains in your memory among your collection of cautionary tales—and you may haul it out in conversations where the topic gets round to questions of obedience, authority and moral compasses. (Why don't we ever hear about ethical compasses? Because ethics are rules and roadmaps created by authorities purportedly to help us find our way if we lose our moral compasses. For the difference see either diffen.com or wisegeek.org.
In the early 1960s, Stanley Milgram, a Yale psych professor, recruited subjects to take part in a learning experiment. The volunteer was to read strings of words to a person he thought was another volunteer, but who was, in fact, a member of the team. Each time the learner got the words wrong, the volunteer was supposed to push a button that would deliver an electric shock. The lab-coated director told the volunteer to keep raising the voltage if the learner couldn't get the words right. And a majority of volunteers, even as they protested, followed the instructions of the director, raising the electric shocks often past the point where the learner was apparently crying out with pain. (The learner's screams were actually tape recordings, to provide continuity from one session to another.)
"…His face was red. His eyes were bloodshot and staring straight into mine. "Don't you ever ever to that to me again," he shouted."
Late last year the Journal of Social Issues published an edition reexamining Milgram's work, what it may or may not have proved, and the controversy and questions about human nature left still unanswered in its wake. For more detail see Cari Romm's recent article in the Atlantic.
I came across the Milgram experiment in 1968 in a psychology course in the fall of my sophmore year at Purdue University. I had flunked out as a freshman physics major, and had decided to try my luck as a psych major; a.k.a. in those days as Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll.
The My Lai massacre had happened half a year earlier. My professor was an earnest radical stuck in an egregiously conservative midwestern university Continue reading Do What You're Told: Why the Milgram experiment still haunts me
AirBNB Bookcase: Mi libro es su libro
During the past few years most of the books I buy and read end up in the memory of my electronic device. It's a particularly dreary way to keep a library, but it's also the only possible way to carry books with me at this point in my life when I am shuttling among five houses, on various missions of family business, responsibility and pleasure.
So last week we found ourselves renting an AirBNB room in an elderly three story house in Ithaca, NY owned by a couple in their 30s. Other inhabitants included a pair of large painted turtles in an indoor pond and a white bull terrier sporting a dark grey waistcoat snoozing on the couch in front of the fireplace. A windup Victrola stood to one side of the room, waiting to be fed from a couple of wooden boxes crammed with 78s. Alexis welcomed us with an easy smile and gave us short tour of the amenities.
All of the above would have been easily enough to make me feel completely comfortable and happy to be there. But as I scanned the room, trying to pick up details and clues about the lives and interests of the owners, I pretty much fell into a huge bookcase taking up most of one side of the room. It's the kind of a bookcase you can't take in standing in just one place. You have to walk back and forth, bending way over to the floor and standing on you tiptoes. You can feel the sheer physical presence of the books, probably 700-800 pounds of them.
Real books tucked shoulder to shoulder in a stack of wooden cubes 7 feet tall and more than 12 feet wide. Hundreds of books shelved with slight but not obsessive order, the kind of arrangement that leads to lucky accidents of co-location, such as the Collected Writings of Carl Jung sandwiched between Katz' The Art of Fermentation and I Like You by Amy Sedaris.
There's a thrill and an art in trying to divine a person's life story from the books they keep in their cases. The condition of the books says a lot, but the clusters of topic and genre, the range of publication dates, and even the placement on the shelves speaks…well…volumes. For example, abandoned interests and hobbies usually drift down and to the side.
But that's not what I was doing here. I was finding dozens and dozens of titles from my own library in a stranger's bookcase in Ithaca. There are obvious reasons for that, of course. People of similar sensibilities do travel parallel paths. Still the sense that a bit of this house literally overlapped with my own house through the bookcases gave me a spooky through-the-wardrobe sort of a feeling.
Pablo Neruda, Vonnegut, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Charles Bukowski, Philip K. Dick, A History of God by Karen Armstrong, to name only a few.
Books I read many years ago, remembered fondly but will probably never read again, books I've been reading but not finished, books on my list to read, books I own, haven't read, won't ever read, but for one reason or another can't bring myself to get rid of.
The next morning Mark and Alexis gave us a kombucha "mother" so I could begin brewing my own, and the address of a guy in Syracuse who fixes broken Victrola springs, the malady that afflicts our own family Victrola.
I've been away from my own bookcase in our house in NH for almost five months. Such a pleasure of connection and commonality to find a portion of that bookcase in an Ithaca living room.
Fractal #38: Falling down drunk
Fractal #38: Falling down drunk
Sunday night freezing rain slicked the streets and in my headlights a man my age lay on his side, legs splayed. Joan helped him stand and as he wobbled, bent in pain, I said "You're drunk." He agreed. We put him in the car and drove the neighborhood for ten minutes looking for his house. "You are wonderful," he said. "You've done way more than you should."
My Vow of Poverty: or not
I've been thinking a lot lately about taking a Vow of Poverty, which is quite a bit different than having to live, through no choice of your own, a life of destitution. I don't have any hard figures, but I'm going to guess that there are about a hundred million times more people living in destitution than there are living under vows of poverty. Which would make those of us who are wannabe poverty vowees a fairly privileged class of people, as if we didn't know that already.
That would be the difference between dumpster diving for sport vs. dumpster diving for your next meal when you haven't had one in the past four days.
The Vow of Poverty is usually something you do if you are part of some religious order, for example if you are a nun or a monk. And it's usually part of a three-for-one deal where you also get to take vows of celibacy and obedience. As much as I have been toying with the idea of the V.O.P. ever since I signed up for Social Security a few years ago, the other two, the V.O.C. and the V.O.O. have never held much interest for me.
I mean, think how disappointed my wife would be if I took a vow of celibacy—I realize I may be making an unwarranted assumption there. But on the other hand, think how thrilled she'd be if I took the Vow of Obedience.
No, the Vow of Poverty is the only one of the three which suits my lifestyle and current roster of personality disorders.
Before the Second Vatican Council of 1962-5, the V.O.P. was considered primarily as a Church-sanctioned entry into a state of dependency, where you gave away all your stuff and became completely beholden to others (generally a religious community) for board and room and clothes. I'm pretty sure that would not have worked for me, because I probably could not have found a religious community that would have had me, and so would have been forced to rely on the constant generosity of family and friends, a similarly improbable bet.

Space, 1957: What's up in the sky?
In the fall of 1957 I was eight years old. The USSR had just launched a little satellite no much bigger than a fishbowl, and my parents took me out in the dark to see it, a dim point of light, barely visible against the background of stars except for the fact that it was moving. Moving! A slow, stately traverse across the arc of the sky.
I feel lucky that my introduction to space was also the world's. We were all there, variously astonished, aghast, proud, frightened, outraged and dismissive, depending on what country you lived in and what politics you ascribed to there.
Through the next five decades of my life the exploits of men and women (and some unlucky animals) in space served as markers for me: I remember where I was when they landed on the moon. And I remember where I was when the Challenger blew up.
But I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't paid much attention to the International Space Station except to know that it's been up there for a number of years, and there are always a few people in it. Thus it was quite a thrill to read "5,200 Days in Space," a feature article on the space station in the January Atlantic Magazine by Charles Fishman (The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water, and The Wal-Mart Effect)
Fishman pretty much takes you up to the station with a good level of detail and description about living for months at a time in zero gravity and with no way out—except the occasional spacewalk which, by the way, requires 400 check-listed items to be accomplished before the door opens. Continue reading Space, 1957: What's up in the sky?
A Thousand Thousand Things: Thrashing towards clarity
It's been well more than a century since clutter was associated with good taste and the display of wealth. In the mid-1800s the burgeoning middle classes, giddy with the wealth produced by the machinery of the new industries of Victorian England, flocked to the department stores freshly stocked with a thousand thousand things that had never existed before, and they shopped and shopped and shopped.
They were the pioneers of conspicuous consumption, carting all that stuff back home to older houses which were designed to hold a few essential items discreetly in cupboards or closets or shelves. So the Victorians invented extravagant, exquisite clutter as interior design. An empty space on a table or shelf, a lampshade without tassels, a table leg without ornamentation, any place the weary eye could rest without being assaulted was anathema. Millions of manufactured things had broken loose into the world and claimed their places crowded into every room of every house whose owners could afford them.
During the final decades of the 19th century, quite suddenly most of the middle and upper classes on earth could, and did, acquire way, way more stuff than they needed or could actually claim to use. Before the industrial revolution human beings essentially had to make their things by hand, and so the number of hands at work placed a limit on how many widgets in a day or a year those hands could make. But machinery changed that formula forever, and there we were, millions and millions of people who for tens of thousands of years had always wanted more stuff, standing in front of the factory doors with lust for things in our guts and extra money in our hands as wave after wave of objects washed by us and around us and swept us away into the future.
Regardless of the Victorian era's celebration of exquisite clutter, the twentieth century would continue to churn out stuff at a rate that was nothing short of relentless, if not remorseless.
And as if enough were not enough, in the past 20 years we've figured out how to beam up the real world of things into the digital world of virtual things. Stuff that is orders of magnitude easier to get and have and hold and store than was possible in the physical world now clutters and clogs hard drives, flash memory and server farms. If there is any difference between physical and digital clutter it may be in retrieval: it's easier and easier to find the needle in the digital haystack with a keystroke.
I know I'm dealing with the curse of clutter when I've lost something to it. When I am actually needing some thing but cannot find it. Something useful, some tool, some bit of information on a piece of paper which, because I failed to put it where it goes, fell from grace and into clutter.
The verb "to clutter" now in our time comes true to its original meaning in 14th century English, "to heap up in piles, to litter", or simply, "to clot". Clutter does form clots; wherever it comes to rest, it finds its own, and binds together. In drawers, on shelves, in boxes, in closets, on horizontal surfaces, desks and tables and bureaus and ultimately on floors. But the clotting nature of clutter is not limited to physical objects. I am pestered and bedeviled and suffocated and confused as much by the clutter of ideas, fragments of information, memes, responsibilities, lists, lusts, fears and stalled projects in my head as by the thousand thousand objects to which I am attached by ownership, nostalgia or simple neglect.

The Supreme Court voted 7-2 against Larry Lessig's challenge to the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act. Justices Breyer and Stevens dissented, saying that the act makes copyright "virtually perpetual" and "inhibit[s] the progress of 'Science'—by which word the Framers meant learning or knowledge" (Breyer dissent). Justice Stevens dissented more narrowly, arguing that just as states lack the right to extend individual patents, so Congress has no right to extend the term of copyright, and that the majority opinion of the court "rests on the mistaken
premise that this Court has virtually no role in reviewing congressional grants of monopoly privileges to authors,
inventors and their successors." The Trademark Blog has additional coverage. Doc Searls weighs in to argue that this is the start of a long road, not the end of one. Ernie the Attorney thanks Lessig for his hard efforts. Slashdot has a discussion underway. Meanwhile, the Associated Press calls it "a huge victory for Disney," laying the blame squarely at the feet of the companies who lobbied so vigorously to protect their monopolies.

Is Xi Jinping Changing China's Course? Reforms Under the New Leadership in Beijing
Knowledge by the SliceThird on Forbes's 2013 list of the world's most powerful people, Xi Jinping is the paramount political and military leader of China. He has presented himself as a new kind of ruler, initiating economic reforms and a broad anti-corruption drive. "Xi came to power with a reformist agenda: to make the Communist Party far better at leading the nation," says Russell Leigh Moses, dean of academics and faculty at The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies, in The Wall Street Journal. "That doesn't mean loosening the restraints of one-party rule or granting political options to the masses."

St Patrick's Cathedral is a magnificent example of the geometric style of Gothic architecture that was popular in Europe in the 13th century. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic archbishop of New York and the largest Catholic cathedral in the United States. With its spires soaring 330 feet (100m) into the air, and the ornately detailed entrance, this is undoubtedly one of the city's most spectacular buildings. St Patrick's was built between 1850 and 1878; its giant organ has over 7,300 pipes. To most New Yorkers and harried tourists, St Patrick's is most valued for its peace and tranquility - rare qualities indeed in this most frenetic of cities.

101 "Everyday" Tips for Losing 10 Pounds! pdf

Torrent description
There was a time in this world when the need to lose weight was completely unheard of. People ate well, but the worked well too. They woke up early in the morning and then engaged in a whole days work. This work was mostly physical labor. People worked on fields digging, sowing, harvesting. They tilled they soil, rode horses, worked on farms and ranches. The result was that they could afford to eat almost anything they wanted in whatever quantities they wanted.
But that was ages ago. The world has changed so much since those days. Life styles have changed so much and the comforts and facilities have increased so much. But every rose has its thorn. As a result of all these comforts and amenities the state of physical well being has really changed.
Most of us have sedentary jobs that demand little or no exercise at all. To put it simply, things have become so damn easy. And just as can be expected, weight gain has become a major concern for almost every city dweller.
During the period of thoughtless youth it is not such a major concern.
The young practically eat nothing and so weight problems do not bother them so much. But as soon as you turn twenty, you start showing signs of weight gain and that too in all the wrong places.
It's not about the hour glass figure or the perfectly sculpted and toned body. It is more about staying fit and remaining healthy to ensure a long, disease free life. Every body knows that those extra pounds spell illness. All over the world people are switching to a healthier life style and the catch line is indeed weight loss.
This book is dedicated solely to the cause of losing weight and that too in the most surprising ways you ever heard of. There is only one thing that you have to bear in mind. Weight loss does not happen by itself. There are only two ways to accomplish it...
The first is by watching what you eat and the second is by seeing to it that your body gets the exercise that it needs. (This report gives tips for both.)
As you go through the following pages, my hope is that youre continually amazed by all the everyday things you can be doing to lose 10 pounds...or more.

As for the other stuff like 'darkside' etc - they are actually jokes. That one in particular is a superficially pejorative term used as everyday terms by people who actually enjoy road biking.

Three security contractors including two Americans were released by Iraqi army forces Tuesday after they were held for more than two weeks, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security announced as he demanded a full report on the episode.
Republican Rep. Peter King of New York identified the men as Army veteran Alex Antiohos of West Babylon, New York, National Guardsman Jonas March of Savannah, Georgia, and Kevin Fisher of Fiji.
King said they were working for a security firm when Iraqi Ministry of Defense officials rejected paperwork prepared on their behalf by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior and began holding them on Dec. 9.
The men weren't charged with any crimes and King said it appeared that they were not injured.
He said Antiohos, who lives on Long Island, spoke to his wife Tuesday evening, and he was expected to be home later this week.
"She said he seems to be doing well," he said.
King said they were released after efforts by his office, the State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the Defense Department and the White House.
He said he will demand answers from the Iraqis as well from U.S. authorities about how the incident was handled after they learned about the men.
"We're going to have thousands of contractors over there, including many Americans. Can the Iraqis just take them off the street and hold them? This is a terrible precedent. We have to get to the bottom of this," he said.
The New York congressman said he was concerned that U.S. military authorities had not been notified by the U.S. Embassy that the men were being held and that embassy representatives had not visited the men when he learned about it from Antiohos' wife last week.
"We have to find out if there could have been better coordination between all the agencies to make sure something like this doesn't happen again," King said.
U.S. troops completed a full withdrawal from Iraq this month after nearly nine years of war.
"This should be a bit of a wake-up call as to whether the situation really is deteriorating in Iraq," he added. "Iraq was supposed to be an ally. We liberated Iraq. Yet they hold these men for 18 days. … It's inexcusable that they were treated this way by a supposed ally."

Stone is the pen name of Angela Marshall. She states that "writing is a passion I've enjoyed since the age of 13. I can remember my favorite elementary school teacher pulling me to the side to encourage me to submit essays every time there was a writing contest." She continues in her words, "I had a very creative mind that should be shared. As a young girl, I would often pretend to be the character of the books I read. My goal is to captivate my readers and tell a story (fact or fiction) with the intent to enlighten them with an unbiased perspective. I am striving to leave a legacy that incorporates motivating, entertaining and inspiring a positive outlook for those in situations that may be grey areas in their life. The writing style I adopted is one that hopefully evokes my readers to a positive place of progression spiritually, emotionally and physically. I've encountered many people, situations and issues that 'incite' my pen to action. Reading & writing feeds my soul and comforts my loneliness. It also provides clarity for the choices I make in life."
Angela is currently working on a book and a compilation of journals with the intent to be published in the very near future. She is also a featured monthly columnist on TimBookTu. View her columns here. She resides in Grovetown, GA.

The title story, Mardi Gras Was Over was inspired by a romance between an old friend of mine and the "dangerous" bad boy she fell in love with. I especially loved writing this story because of the way that romance turned out. The Mermaid Shawl is a story I dreamed up while knitting the lace shawl for my first knitting book. I had read about a woman who moved to an island in the Great Lakes and who wound up rescuing a man who was shipwrecked. Sailor's Valentine is a deeply personal story with a paranormal twist that I know to be based on reality.
I find something very satisfying in writing these short stories. I hope you will enjoy reading them.

Romantic ideas in Vegas?

You used "affordable" and "Las Vegas" in the same sentence? Just wait till you get back to spend some money. Just go to dinner and save the romantic thing for a less expensive place.

Answer #2

You can't use affordable and Las Vegas in the same sentence. Unless you are going to fast foods, any place to eat is going to be horribly overpriced. I went there for my daughter's wedding in April, planning on eating as cheaply as possible and basically, unless you brought your own food in or drove to fast food restaurants, you weren't eating for under about $20 per person (and usually more than that).

Answer #3

Eifel Tower is nice but expensive. Better bet is either the restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere or Binions downtown. Binions also adds the light show downstairs. But at Binions, you are 'above' the light show-can't really see it from the restaurant. In terms of the above answers, for cheap really good food, try the restaurant at Ellis Island. Located behind Bally's. Best leg of lamb in Vegas. OR, even better, get the ribs-full rack with cole slaw, potato salad, corn on the cob and a drink-under $15. I've been there maybe 10 times. Fantastic!

President-elect Donald Trump is vowing that his administration will clear up any confusion over claims that Russia hacked the 2016 election during his first months in office.
Trump made the promise in a series of tweets Friday, wherein he expressed disgust that "sleazebag political operatives" from both parties are working to spread fake news in an effort to cause irreparable harm to the credibility of his incoming administration.
Trump said via Twitter: "It now turns out that the phony allegations against me were put together by my political opponents and a failed spy afraid of being sued….
"Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans – FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists," the president-elect continued. "Probably released by 'Intelligence' even knowing there is no proof, and never will be. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!"
Trump lambasted intelligence agencies, most notably the CIA, last month after officials made public statements that the Russian government may have somehow assisted in the president-elect's victory.
As more evidence about the source of the salacious material regarding Trump published earlier in the week comes to light, it's looking increasingly like hidden factions within the government are colluding with public officials with an axe to grind with Trump to create problems.
But, as Paul Craig Roberts pointed out Friday, the intelligence attacks on Trump are less personal than they are about making it impossible for him to normalize relations with Russia.
He wrote:
We can see how the military/security complex's sabotage of Trump's policy works. Constant accusations have forced Trump to say that possibly the Russians were involved in a hacking that never occured, neither by Russia nor anyone else. Trump's nominee for Secretary of State, Tillerson, has to declare Russia to be a threat in his confirmation hearing in order to be confirmed. Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Mattis, has had to say in his confirmation hearing that the US needs to be prepared to confront Russia militarily, adding that there are few areas in which the US can cooperate with Russia which he says is trying to break NATO.
We could dismiss Trump's admission as throwing a bone to the CIA so they can feel vindicated and get off his back, and the statements by Tillerson and Mattis could be dismissed as what has to be said in order to be confirmed. Nevertheless, these statements from Trump's top appointments are being used as confirmations that everyone except Trump, even Trump's own government, realize that Russia is a threat.
Let's hope that Trump's administration is able to quickly put to rest the claims being made about his relationship with Russia. Because if he can't, his ability to reach a diplomatic solution to the worsening tension between the two countries is nonexistent.
The post Trump vows to get to the bottom of 'Russian hacking' claims within 90 days appeared first on Personal Liberty®.

That won Montero a trip to New Orleans to compete in the national competition at Tales of the Cocktail, where Montero won the U.S. title and a place at the 30th annual Marie Brizard International Bartender Seminar and Competition in Bordeaux, France.
Montero made it to round two in the International competition, but ultimately the winner of the world cup of cocktails was from Portugal, with France coming in second and Estonia third. Montero returns to Miami, having represented our city and country well. Here's Montero's Sunny Crusta recipe:
