Jorie Graham was born in New York City on May 9, 1950, the daughter of a journalist and a sculptor. She was raised in Rome, Italy and educated in French schools. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris before attending New York University as an undergraduate, where she studied filmmaking. She received an MFA in poetry from the University of Iowa.
Graham is the author of numerous collections of poetry, most recently From the New World: Poems 1976-2014 (Ecco, 2015); Place: New Poems (Ecco, 2012); Sea Change (Ecco, 2008); Never (2002); Swarm (2000); and The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974-1994, which won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
About her work, James Longenbach wrote in the New York Times: "For 30 years Jorie Graham has engaged the whole human contraption — intellectual, global, domestic, apocalyptic — rather than the narrow emotional slice of it most often reserved for poems. She thinks of the poet not as a recorder but as a constructor of experience. Like Rilke or Yeats, she imagines the hermetic poet as a public figure, someone who addresses the most urgent philosophical and political issues of the time simply by writing poems."
Graham has also edited two anthologies, Earth Took of Earth: 100 Great Poems of the English Language (1996) and The Best American Poetry 1990.
Her many honors include a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, and the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from The American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
She has taught at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop and is currently the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University. She served as a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets from 1997 to 2003.

Hi all! I've just finished building and installing a new WordPress theme on my own website. It used to just use a modified Twenty Eleven, but that doesn't exactly scream "I'm a good web designer", so I've finally got round to creating my own theme. It took me a couple of days, and you can see the result here.
So, what can be approved?
Thanks in advance! Toby
The kerning in your logo is way out.
For me, the body text font size is too large . Those banners need work. The Wordpress one is fugly and the padding around the text in all the stitched labels needs to be larger and reduce the font size again.
The grammar throughout needs work. Examples: B&B's -> B&Bs one page websites, to full -> one page websites to full
The whole design is a little bland – it just screams 'meh' to me.
Sorry it's not what you want to hear,
Thank you for the feedback, it is in fact exactly what I wanted to hear! I've always called myself a web developer and done stuff like converting PSDs to WordPress themes, stuff that doesn't require much design because it's really not something I'm great at. I'm slowly getting better at it, but I need criticism like that to help me find out where I'm going wrong!
Which direction is the kerning out, do I need to stretch the letters further apart?
Agreed, having looked at those slides again since I made them at 11pm last night, they're pretty awful. I really don't like that brown… What do you think would look good?
The whole thing needs proofreading, thanks for pointing out those two errors.
Also, it's worth noting that I'd accidentally set the header image wrongly before – it does have a bit more colour than it did when you were looking at it!
I'd check your code… http://d.pr/i/AutK I'm sure there's supposed to be something inbetween them there head tags
Hahahaha! Google Chrome's ability to fix my mistakes truly amazes me!
Right, I've fixed that stupid mistake!
Okay, I've made some changes – unleash the criticism!
Ok, here goes, it's pretty harsh but I think that helps improvement!
DESIGN :I think the screenie says it all. http://awesomescreenshot.com/074lvuxf8
You could really improve the performance. Try combining the JS files and CSS files, less HTTP requests and put all that inline JS into the JS files.
Nesting. h1 then a.
Well, there you go, hope it helps!
"Looks shit" haha! Do you think you could elaborate on a few things? I'm really struggling to get my head around a lot of design concepts. Every time someone points out stupid things it helps me to see them for myself next time, so I really do appreciate feedback like this.
Are you using a Mac? Several of the fonts look different on my PC – perhaps I should add them, Segoe UI for example, as a font face?
Placeholders look different on my PC on Chrome as well, the font is different and a different size. Nonetheless, I have increased the font size.
Could you elaborate on what's wrong with the typography? I've used Ubuntu for headings and Open Sans for content, and I didn't think it looked bad..! Again, it looks different for me than it does in that screenshot though.
Colours – I've got a lot to learn about colour theory, and I totally agree with you that I've used way too many, I count at least 8 including the slider!
These slides are starting to annoy me now, no matter what they do, they seem to look shit. Any suggestions?
The search icon is changing, definitely.
What's wrong with the spacing? Could you elaborate? (Not the slider navigation things, I see what's wrong with the spacing there).
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate this kind of helpful criticism as it's the only way I can improve.
Also, HTML5 does allow you to wrap block-level elements with a tags.

Recursive function theory
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
2 Plans towards a programming language
Well-known concepts are taken from [Mon:MatLog], but several new notations (only notations, not concepts) are introduced to reflect all concepts described in [Mon:MatLog], and some simplification are made (by allowing zero-arity generalizations). These are plans to achive formalizations that can allow us in the future to incarnate the main concepts of recursive function theory in a programming language.
3 Primitive recursive functions
3.1 Type system
3.2 Base functions
3.2.1 Constant
Question: is the well-known approach superfluous? Can we avoid it and use the more simple and indirect approach, if we generalize operations (especially composition) to deal with zero-arity cases in an appropriate way? E.g., and , too? Does it take a generalization to allow such cases, or can it be inferred?
3.2.2 Successor function
3.2.3 Projection functions
For all :
3.3 Operations
3.3.1 Composition
This resembles to the combinator of Combinatory logic (as described in [HasFeyCr:CombLog1, 171]). If we prefer avoiding the notion of the nested tuple, and use a more homogenous style (somewhat resembling to currying):
Let underbrace not mislead us -- it does not mean any bracing.
remembering us to
3.3.2 Primitive recursion
The last equation resembles to the combinator of Combinatory logic (as described in [HasFeyCr:CombLog1, 169]):
4 General recursive functions
Everything seen above, and the new concepts:
4.1 Type system
See the definition of being special [Mon:MathLog, 45]. This property ensures, that minimalization does not lead us out of the world of total functions. Its definition is the rather straightforward formalization of this expectation.
4.2 Operations
4.2.1 Minimalization
Minimalization does not lead us out of the word of total functions, if we use it only for special functions -- the property of being special is defined exactly for this purpose [Mon:MatLog, 45].
5 Partial recursive functions
Everything seen above, but new constructs are provided, too.
5.1 Type system
Question: is there any sense to define in another way than simply ? Partial constants?
5.2 Operations
Their definitions are straightforward.

I've been using backtrack for a few years for fun projects and stuff, but now I want to start learning linux more aggressively. I'm setting up a headless server in my basement to run a teamspeak server, as well as just to play on. I was wondering if I should use kubuntu since it used KDE like backtrack, or does it really matter?
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
-Willy Wonka-
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I know far less about linux than most anyone here but if i had to do this i would either go with ubuntu server or more than likely Gentoo because from what i read its the distro that is the most easiest to learn about .. as in teaching you more about the functions of linux.
Personally i wish i had jumped onto another distro for atleast a week before snatching BT as there are so many times i have to stop and learn whats going on before i can even begin to use one of the tools.
btw isnt KDE a graphical front end ... if so why would you even want that since as you said its headless.
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
Play with all of them, best way to learn.

How confident are you generally with using linux from the command line? I found it helpful to have the GUI there when I started looking into linux so that I could check things and look things up if I got stuck on something.
Learn and love the command line. It is the tool of trade and what makes the big difference from Windows.
You can usually run a command without parameters to get a help shown or just use the command "man".

COLTON - The City Council on Monday will consider a cooperative agreement with San Bernardino Associated Governments related to the interchange improvement project at Pepper Avenue and the 10 Freeway.
Federal grants totalling more than $7.1 million have been awarded to the county for the project.
A proposed deck along the existing bridge is estimated to cost $7.6 million.
Officials anticipate the elimination of the Pepper Avenue extension south of Slover Avenue.
The city is expected to pitch in $246,000 to the project, with SanBAG contributing $369,000.
Most of the city's funding will come through traffic impact fees, with a share borrowed against the city's future Measure I revenues, according to a staff report to the council.
In other action items, the council is scheduled to consider an amendment to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Cannon Pacific Inc. for street sweeping services in the amount of $161,726.
The contract was awarded to Cannon in January 2012 in the amount of $158,400. It is renewable for four one-year terms.
Also, officials are expected to delegate investment authority to the city treasurer.
According to state law, the city can delegate the authority to the city treasurer to invest funds for a one-year period, unless revoked.
The city treasurer is responsible for planning and investing pooled funds and bond proceeds.

Even in summertime I crave comfort dishes. I'm talking warm, heavily spiced bowls of things that might make you sweat a little when you eat them. I dunno. I'm aware that no one likes to sweat whilst eating, but I'll take it over eating chilled soup. Gazpacho? I just…can't. I'm sorry. (Not sorry.)
You know I'm game for a massive minimal-cooking–required salad, but homegirl needs a cooked meal several times a week, regardless of the weather. It's something about sitting down at night to eat something that has a story. Something that's been chopped and sautéed and simmered.
I love experimenting with cuisines that I find a little intimidating, it's like facing your fears in a totally contained and inconsequential way!
Whatta rush.
Since I've been cooking, I've found Thai and Indian cuisines to be among my favorites to make at home. Mostly because they involve big vats of stew-like concoctions that can be custom-made to involve heaps of vegetables, tons of flavor and spice, and require being mopped up with rice and/or flatbread. (In general, I enjoy mopping my food up with carbs. It's satisfying and delicious.)
Plus, a good curry paste can't really let you down.
One thing that can make a vegetable-based Indian dish extra exciting is to first cook the onions for way longer than required – like 5-10 minutes more than a standard recipe might recommend. We're trying to take them into caramelized territory. It'll create an amazing sweetness and depth that mightn't have been there otherwise. And it makes a humble dish like this red lentil dahl feel dang luxurious.
I learned this life changing (jeah! life changing.) tip from a great blog called My Darling Lemon Thyme. The author, Emma, lives in Perth, Australia and knows a thing or two about cooking amazing vegetarian AND gluten-free dishes of all cuisines. I highly recommend it!
Red Lentil Dahl with Kale
adapted from My Darling Lemon Thyme
- 375 gram (13 ounces) packet of dried red lentils
- 1 liter (4 cups) water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 6 dried curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions, peeled and finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 1 can of tomatoes, drained of their juices and chopped
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups kale, shredded
- steamed rice, to serve
- fresh cilantro/coriander, to serve
Rinse the red lentils well, drain and tip into a medium saucepan. Cover with the water and add turmeric, coriander, garam masala and curry leaves. Stir well and bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the lentils have reduced to mush. Add a little more water if they are drying out.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring for 10 minutes until deeply colored and fragrant (for real, cook them for the whole time!!). Add garlic and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add cumin seeds, chili flakes and stir for 1 minute before adding the chopped tomatoes. Season the mixture well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes.
Add the red lentils into the onion and tomato mixture and add the kale, stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for a further 10-15 minutes.
If the dahl is too thick, add a little extra water and if too thin simply cook for a little longer to reduce. Taste and add more seasoning if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice and cilantro.

The definition used to derive the figures below, classifies people as homeless if their accommodation falls below the minimum community standard of a small rental flat with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and some security of tenure.
It is very difficult to accurately determine the number of homeless people on Census night. Homeless Indigenous persons are particularly likely to be undercounted.
For example when an Indigenous person stays with a member of their extended family, they are less likely to record 'no usual address' on Census night even when they have no permanent address. Hence there is more likely to be an undercount of homeless Indigenous persons.
Therefore adjustments are made to the Census night count of homeless persons based on other data, follow up surveys etc. After these adjustments, the number of homeless Indigenous persons was estimated to be 9,531.
Indigenous persons are over-represented in the homeless population: 9% of the homeless were Indigenous but only 2.5% of the total population is Indigenous.

For women, the reality of their workplace lives is different from the pop-cultural ideals they were fed from movies like Working Girl and television shows like L.A. Law.
Baby Boomer and Generation X women grew up with movies like Working Girl and television shows like L.A. Law depicting women who could have it all.
Not only did many of us in that age group grow up with expectations of what we could achieve — but also what we would look like — the smartly suited, confident professional woman who could stride boldly from the board room to a variety of post-work pursuits.
However, the reality of our workplace lives is different from the pop-cultural ideals we were fed — and this extends to the way we look, both in jobs that demand those crisp, tailored suits as well as professions that allow for more casual attire.
Philadelphia-area psychotherapist and hypnotherapist Dr. Steven Rosenberg assesses that the more things change, the more things remain the same regardless of whether a woman is married or single. The primary trigger originates from the ongoing struggle to find respect and parity in a man's world, he says.
His practice is focused on hypnotherapy treatments for smoking cessation, weight loss and facing other health issues that require behavior changes.
"If they are single, many women are taken advantage of because they do not have a family to take care of," he assesses. "The married women with children, meanwhile, have the added stress of handling the kids and all that comes with it. There are financial pressures, social pressures and more.
"Secondly, most working women are sleep deprived, prompting them to eat junk food to keep up their energy during the day. Also, they do not have time to shop and take care of themselves by having the proper food available for themselves. Where is the time to exercise? Trying to fit everything into a day is a challenge."
Rosenberg adds that because a lot of people think of food as a reward, this makes them turn to fat or carbohydrates to ease stress of the day. Drinking water, which is the best alternative, is rarely done because they don't have time to go to the bathroom. People keeping kosher may find the challenge doubly difficult because of what food may be available to them at certain times and places.
Debi Silber, a New York City-based health and weight loss coach, speaker and author (www.TheMojoCoach. com), has firsthand experience as a working mom with four children and five dogs. She concurs with Rosenberg that belly fat mercilessly attaching itself to high-achieving women is triggered by excessive amounts of stress and a scarcity of hours in the day, leading to poor eating habits and not enough exercise.
"When we're stressed, we're not interested in label reading and making healthy choices," Silber states. "We're consumed with our stress and don't want to think about it."
Silber points out that our bodies are actually craving the release of two neurotransmitters: serotonin (which gives us a sense of calm) and dopamine (which ignites the pleasure centers of our brain). Furthermore, when under stress, our bodies become flooded with the stress hormone cortisol.
These chemical reactions ultimately have detrimental effects, including increased appetite, suppression of the thyroid (and metabolism as a result) and unflattering fat storage in the body's mid-section. They end up suppressing the adrenals, creating extreme fatigue, and we look for energy in caffeine and sugar.
Silber says she recently became what is known as a functional diagnostic nutritionist because these work-related weight gain issues have been such an important aspect of her business. She says she can test her clients for adrenal issues including weight gain, cycle changes, fatigue, low libido, irritability, joint pain, digestive disturbances and more.
"As someone who's recovered twice from a host of illnesses, symptoms, conditions and even disease, I now help women do the same so they can become their personal/professional best," she says.
"The cortisol crash is worse for women," affirms Cammi Balleck, known nationwide as the "Happy Hormone Doctor." "Women need to take supplements in the morning for their adrenals in addition to a B vitamin daily. I also have all my working mom clients take a mineral at night. All women who feel stress are already mineral-deficient and this leads to other problems with weight, wrinkles and mood swings."
Like Philadelphia's Rosenberg, Balleck cites sleep deprivation as a major wellness issue for working women, adding that it plays a role in elevating cortisol levels in women.
"Where does all this cortisol go?" Balleck says. "If you don't sleep, it goes to your muffin top and spare tire. Cortisol plays a large role in our weight; if we are stressed too much and not balancing our cortisol it will inevitably cause weight gain."
Balleck does note, however, that some married women may have an advantage over single women because they feel more secure having a husband and are not so conscious about their weight.
Jennifer Voutsinas, senior counselor at Medifast Weight Control Center in Feasterville, meanwhile, says that based on what she's observed in her practice, whether women commute to work, work from home or are stay-at-home mothers, the challenge of gaining weight is inevitable for nearly everybody.
"Most women do not put their personal health concerns on the daily 'to-do list,' " says Voutsinas. "Women's needs are often defaulted to the bottom of the list, and often don't even make it on the list at all!"

ST. LOUIS, MO -- Master Wholesale and Vending Supply Inc. (Jackson, WI) has entered into an agreement to acquire Jones Vend and OCS Distributing here, according to an announcement by the latter. The transaction was expected to be consummated by the end of January.
Jones Vend owners Larry and Pat Jones, who have run the organization for more than 42 years, plan to retire after completion of the acquisition. Larry said that the sale "will provide many opportunities to grow for my former employees and customers, and will allow the new company to be a major vending distributor in the Midwest."
Master Wholesale, which was founded by owner and president Randy Groth in 1988, will expand its geographic coverage in the Midwest and South. "We were kind of landlocked with our expansion," Groth reported, "and this allows many new doors to be opened."
Jane Jones will become vice-president and general manager of the Jones portion of the business, and other members of the Jones family also will continue to be employed at the company.

Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott gives birth to baby girl
Listen to Lady Antebellum on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - While most of the world was on Royal Baby Alert Monday, there was another mom-to-be that quite a few fans were watching and waiting on: namely, Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott.
Well, the wait is over, and Scott got to beatDutchess Kate to share her happy news! Scott and husband Chris Tyrrell are the proud parents of a baby girl named Eisele Kaye. According to People, the little one was born Monday in Nashville.
As expected, her parents are ecstatic. "She's here, and we are in HEAVEN!!!" tweeted Scott, calling her new arrival a "beautiful angel."
A rep for Scott told People that the baby's unusual name is pronounced "Eyes-lee." Her full name comes from a combination of her paternal grandmother's maiden name and maternal grandmother's middle name.
There's no photo of the babe yet, but Scott did post a cute shot of the baby's footprints to tide everyone over.
Scott and Tyrrell were married in January 2012 and announced their pregnancy in December of that year. This is the first child for the couple.
Congrats Hillary and Chris on the birth of Nashville "royalty!"

Digital Times argues that Part 2 of the Hobbit trilogy will be better than part 1 (but not by much). The article is short, snarky and repetitive, so here's the only paragraph you really need to read:
No, seriously. "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" is going to be the best part because hello, all the best stuff happens in it. "The Hobbit" Part Three-ie (out on December 17, 2014) is going to be the worst snooze cruise since Helm's Deep. That's because certain dragons are going to get whacked in the first of many hours and the rest is just going to be a big battle and then a long walk home.
Speaking of The Hobbit, here is JRR Tolkien singing "Chip The Glasses And Crack The Plates":

All the village members were present to attend the dance performance-ritual of the playful lion-like Barong and the menacing witch Rangda. Both represent the village protectors. They are actually two sides of a coin. The confrontation of Barong and Rangda in this ritual helps re-establish balance. The Cengkok village upheld this ceremony to welcome the new masks which have already been purified, sanctified and loaded with power (sakti). The old ones were stolen in the Temple of the Dead twenty years ago.

Hello,

I have a webforms application (VB.net, .NET 4.0) which is translated in three languages and I managed to localize everything except the URLs. My preference is to use routing, so I'd like to find a solution in this direction (not URL rewriting or IIS rewrites, etc.)
Out of many read articles I stumbled into this one as well: http://blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2010/01/26/Translating-routes-%28ASPNET-MVC-and-Webforms%29.aspx, but this example is for MVC application. (As are the most of the questions here as well)
Any comments and ideas are very much welcome!

There is no big difference between routing in ASP.NET MVC and WebForms. The link below shows routing in ASP.NET 4.0 WebForms.
Apply this to the article you have mentioned and thats it.

Jil Sander Fall 2011
"I'm fascinated by the way Diane Arbus saw things," said Raf Simons after his exhilarating and masterly collection. Simons was referring to the disquieting edge of the photographer's fashion and society portraiture. "She came from this fashion background, and then twisted it," he explained.
Simons took the early-sixties high fashion lines and Pop art color of his sensational spring collection for Jil Sander as a starting point but wanted to make the look even "more dynamic—with kind of a twist."
Diana Vreeland–era issues of Vogue showing The Beautiful People at play on the ski slopes were a further inspiration (think Capucine and Claudia Cardinale—dressed respectively by Hubert de Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent—on the slopes of Cortina d'Ampezzo in Blake Edwards' stylish 1963 caper The Pink Panther). The resulting silhouettes married Cristobal Balenciaga–shaped mushrooming tops with sleek ski pants, their stirrups unsettlingly anchored through horizontal slots in the wedge-heeled boots. Stiffly bonded, furry-pile, or honey-comb quilted wools—or pneumatic padded satin—helped maintain the volume of those tops, whilst others were luxuriously crafted from what seemed to be a deep-pile Lurex but proved, on closer inspection, to be tiny bugle beads densely sewn on by their narrow ends to create a shimmering bristle effect.
Ski sweaters were ignited with the scintillating colors and kinetic abstract designs of fifties art pottery. These had the bateau necklines beloved of Jacqueline de Ribes or Marella Agnelli, circa 1960, or integral balaclava hoods. (Guido Palau's inventive hair design mimicked those hoods—he wrapped shiny, lacquered hair around the head into a sleek cap, with the faintest suggestion of a French pleat.)
The flashes of Warholian colors in the clothes (and the makeup of scarlet lip and turquoise eye) were counterpointed by the muddied tones of the stiff envelope clutches and double-handled handbags that took their palette and form from Jacques Adnet's manly mid-century furniture designs.
The extreme sophistication of boule-shaped chemise dresses and coats owed a further debt to Balenciaga, and the luxe of that haute couturier's era was literally evoked in the exquisite warp-printed floral designs that Simons had had rewoven from original examples created by the great fabric house of Staron.
But in the centrifuge of Simons' imagination, this welter of period references was deftly spun into a thoroughly modern vision of chic.

The 15 Hottest Female Olympians
We spent a good amount of time objectifying the hot male Olympians competing in this year's summer Olympic games, so we thought it only fair that we focus our attentions on the ladies of the games, too. The 15 women (and there are countless others we couldn't fit into this slideshow) featured here are hot not just because of their gorgeous faces and fit bodies, but also because they're fierce competitors who have climbed to the top in their respective fields. Click through to see what we're talking about.
And don't forget to follow The Frisky on Twitter and Facebook as we report live from London, starting August 3.

Meet Julian Stern.
He's like any other teenager. He enjoys listening to music and spending time with friends. He plays centerfield for his school's varsity baseball team and is a forward for the basketball squad.
But in many ways, Stern is different. He's a student of history. He plays the accordion. He's fond of opera music. He's reading "Ulysses," just to say he did it.
He once spent three days refurbishing a decrepit upright piano he found at Mira Costa High School. He plays it often.
And he's passionate about local politics. So much so, in fact, that he's eyeing a seat on the Redondo Beach City Council.
"I think I could bring a unique perspective to the City Council," Stern said. "I know it's a cliche, but most change happens on the local level."
Stern is 17. And because he is technically not old enough for his name to appear on the March municipal ballot as a candidate for the council's District 4 seat, Stern said he'll be running as an official write-in candidate.
Stern will turn 18 in January and said he has registered to vote in Los Angeles County, which requires that new voters be 18 before election day.
The Redondo Beach Municipal Code does not explicitly state an age requirement for council candidates, but mandates that a potential candidate be registered to vote.
However, while potential candidates can pull papers to run for council before they are eligible to cast a ballot, they cannot return the papers if they are not 18 by the filing deadline, City Clerk Eleanor Manzano said.
The deadline is today for the city's March election.
Councilman Steve Diels, who represents the district, is termed out in 2013. Other possible candidates for the seat are political consultant Stephan Sammarco and library Commissioner Jan Jeffreys.
Stern said he is taking his candidacy seriously. He believes residents - and other candidates - should, too.
"Most City Council candidates have served on various city commissions," said Stern, who is a senior at Environmental Charter High School in Lawndale and takes courses at El Camino College. "I respect their experience, but I come without baggage, I guess you could say."
Redondo Beach Councilman Matt Kilroy, who is running for mayor, had Stern as a student in an eighth-grade science class he taught at Adams Middle School. Kilroy said he wasn't surprised when he learned Stern had ambitions to run for local office.
"I think people should listen to what he has to say," Kilroy said. "He has a lot of qualities that you could admire in someone you would want to represent you. He's intelligent and has a lot going for him.
"Let me say, we could do worse," Kilroy added.
Stern is among several young candidates across the state who have recently declared their ambitions for municipal office.
Jack Lento-Edrich, 18, ran unsuccessfully for a city council seat in Rocklin, Calif., in November on a platform of improving education and reining in local spending. He received about 2 percent of the vote.
And Aziz Akbari, an 18-year-old sophomore at USC, ran unsuccessfully in November for mayor of Fremont. He received more than 5 percent of the vote.
But there have been recent successes for young political candidates. In Arvin, a small city southeast of Bakersfield, 19-year-old Jose Gurrola beat out five other candidates in November to win a seat on the city council. Jeremy Yamaguchi won a seat on the Placentia council in 2008 when he was 19, becoming the youngest elected official in Orange County history.
Locally, Rafael Ramirez was elected to the Centinela Valley school board in 2003, when he was 18.
Still, Stern acknowledges he faces an uphill battle to secure a seat on the Redondo council. And being a write-in candidate certainly doesn't help.
"It's definitely a setback, but it encourages me to work harder," Stern said. "Winning is not impossible."
Stern, who drives an orange 1976 Mercedes-Benz and recently composed a classical march titled "Victory on Parade," is running on a platform centered on promoting business growth and building economic activity on Artesia Boulevard by, in part, creating incentives for new merchants.
"If the harbor and waterfront area is the heart of Redondo Beach, then Artesia Boulevard is the vein that carries life to it," Stern said.
The district is bounded by Harper Avenue to the west, Artesia Boulevard and Matthew Avenue to the north, Hawthorne Boulevard to the east and 182nd Street and Harriman Lane to the south.
Like Kilroy, Environmental Charter High teacher Joseph Ehrlichmann was not surprised when Stern told him about his plan to seek local office.
"He likes to be different for the sake of trying new, new things," said Ehrlichmann, who had Stern in his American literature class last year. "That's the cool thing about him, he's willing to take on new challenges."
In Ehrlichmann's class, Stern was assigned to write a blues poem based on a lesson about the Harlem Renaissance. Not only did Stern write the poem, but he performed a poetic reading in front of his classmates with an accordion.
"He's a creative writer and a talented in many creative ways," Ehrlichmann said.
Stern tends to eschew technology, writing his term papers on a manual typewriter.
This isn't Stern's first time running for public office. About five years ago - when he was just 12 - he campaigned as a write-in candidate for the Los Angeles Superior Court bench. He made "Julian for Judge" business cards, with his campaign motto: "Hail peace and all who seek it."
Stern's father said his son plans to walk neighborhoods and knock on doors to get the word out.
"He'll get attention, although I don't know how that translates into electability," said Randolph Stern, a Redondo Beach chiropractor. "He is tenacious and very intelligent. He will stick to the job."
Stern said his son's candidacy is an encouraging example of young people becoming engaged and working for positive change in their communities.
"Vote or not vote, but encourage the effort," he said.
Stern said he expects to win. But if he loses?
"My time as a registered voter has just begun," Stern said. "I have a long way ahead of me."

Key Roles for States and EPA
This post first appeared today in the National Journal Energy & Environment Experts blog.
As with many aspects of climate policy, there is some truth to the arguments on both sides of the debate over how federal legislation should treat state action and EPA Clean Air Act (CAA) authority. The answer is less about who is right or wrong and more about appropriately balancing the strengths and weaknesses brought to the table by states and the federal government. Both have important roles to play in a strong federal climate and clean energy program.
Addressing our climate change and clean energy challenges ultimately requires a strong, comprehensive federal program that sets a nationwide carbon price and puts us on the path to a more secure energy future. A comprehensive national program would be more economically efficient, create regulatory certainty for business that unlocks major private investment dollars, and offer a minimum level of environmental protection. But the vast scope of the problem demands that the federal government work with states to implement the most comprehensive solutions.
States have a long history of being innovative leaders in tackling air pollution problems. In recent years, they have also played a similar role on climate and energy policy. California has pioneered a number of policies, including the first-ever standard to reduce the carbon intensity of vehicle fuels. Ten Northeastern states have successfully implemented the first mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) trading program in North America, limiting emissions and setting a price on carbon. And thanks to its renewable energy standards, Texas has become one of the world's largest wind power markets. These and dozens of other states have proven that their policies work and provide valuable lessons for the federal government. Federal policy should recognize these states' achievements and preserve their role as policy innovators.
Federal policy should treat the states as partners: they have the relevant policy experience, know what works within their own borders, and will have a role in implementing federal policy on the ground. One reasonable middle-ground approach contained in the House-passed American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 largely leaves states free to pursue a wide range of policies across all economic sectors, but halts the implementation of state and regional GHG trading programs for six years in order to give a federal program time to get up and running. If at the end of that period states find the federal program inadequate, they can adopt their own market programs. Such an approach recognizes that policies like comprehensive market-based climate and energy mechanisms are most effectively addressed at the federal level. At the same time, states remain free to develop complementary policies that address local concerns in areas such as transportation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
A middle-path forward in any new legislation also exists regarding preemption of EPA authority to regulate under the CAA.
Several aspects of EPA's CAA authority are useful regardless of what course Congress takes, particularly in certain sector-specific applications. For example, the recent adoption of new emissions standards for light duty vehicles has been widely viewed as an appropriate and important step toward limiting carbon emissions while reducing our dependence on foreign oil. It is conceivable that legislation might include a provision that treats EPA authority in the same manner as state GHG trading programs, suspending some forms of regulation for a few years in order to give a federal program time to get established for those sources covered under the federal program. But it might allow EPA to continue to judiciously use existing authorities for those sources that fall outside of any newly created federal regime. As with the states, Congress needs to recognize the EPA as a partner and craft comprehensive legislation that takes advantage of EPA's existing strengths and expertise.

COLUMBUS, OH -- The board of directors of White Castle System Inc. has announced the promotion of Lisa Ingram to president. For the past three years, she served as president and chief operating officer of White Castle's restaurant division. In her new role, Ingram will oversee all divisions of the company, including frozen food, Porcelain Steel Buildings and the celebrated restaurant system.
Ingram is the great-granddaughter of Billy Ingram, who founded the company in 1921 in Wichita, KS, and thereby launched the fast-food hamburger restaurant industry. She succeeds her father, Bill Ingram, as president; he continues as chief executive and chairman of the board, posts he has held since 1992.
Lisa Ingram worked for White Castle as an Upper Arlington high school student. She earned a bachelor's degree in business administration (marketing and finance) from Southern Methodist University in 1993. After working in sales and marketing in the technology industry in Texas, she returned to White Castle in 1997 as regional marketing manager. She subsequently earned an MBA in consulting and operations from the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State University in 2000. Upon returning again to White Castle in 2000, she became director of restaurant operations, advancing to president and chief operating officer over the ensuing decade. In that position, her responsibilities included profit and loss management, site development and acquisition, and overseeing strategies for restaurant development and marketing.
Ingram presently serves on the boards of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, the United Way, Action for Children and National Restaurant Association.
White Castle still is family-owned, and has been managed by four generations of Ingrams. The company presently operates more than 400 restaurants in 12 states, all company-owned. It also owns and operates its own meat processing plants and bakeries to maintain strict control of quality. It launched its frozen prepackaged branded convenience line in the late 1980s, and introduced the products to the vending channel early in the next decade.

Conservatives' Debate Advice For Romney: Be Like Bush (But Not Like Bush) And Also Reagan
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Heading into the third and final presidential debate of the election season, conservatives in the media are bestowing upon Mitt Romney tidbits of advice about how to best Barack Obama on what is considered a strong suit for the president: foreign policy. The consensus seems to be that the key to victory is to embrace George W. Bush's foreign policy without actually doing so, while at the same time being exactly like Ronald Reagan.
For example, here's the Wall Street Journal editorial board explaining how Romney can be Bush without actually being Bush:
We don't expect Mr. Romney to offer an explicit defense of the Bush Doctrine, never mind that its core tenets -- keeping weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of rogue regimes and promoting liberal democracy in places like Egypt -- are ones Mr. Obama rhetorically endorses. Nor do we anticipate that Mr. Romney will retreat from the protectionist rhetoric he's been peddling on China, though it would be nice to hear him recognize that the biggest "currency manipulator" in the world today is the U.S. Federal Reserve.
But Mr. Romney can help himself by offering a serious critique of Mr. Obama's foreign policy that doesn't descend to clichés (e.g., "I won't ever apologize for America"), and by laying out a vision that answers the needs of both the national interest and the self-interest of everyday Americans.
Mr. Romney should also give full credit where it's due, not least because some graciousness would be a refreshing contrast to Mr. Obama's abrasive partisanship in an area where Americans yearn for consensus. That means not only commending the President for the bin Laden raid, but also for the areas in which the Administration has adopted the policies of its predecessor: the reauthorization of the Patriot Act; the use of military tribunals; the intensification of drone strikes; the (admittedly reluctant) non-closure of Guantanamo. All that should cause some indigestion among Mr. Obama's friends at MSNBC.
Good to know that the Journal has joined the ranks of the sane in dismissing talk of Obama "apologizing for America" as toothless nonsense. It should be noted, however, that they have a fair bit of in-house policing to do on that front. The Journal goes on to explain the importance of being Reagan-y:
Ronald Reagan understood that before he could defeat the Soviet Union he had to show again the superiority of the American model of economic freedom. The U.S. military will inexorably and rapidly shrink without growth of 3% or more. This theme is right in Mr. Romney's wheelhouse.
And then there's William Kristol of the Weekly Standard. In his "Special Editorial" offering debate advice to Romney, Kristol is a little more guarded about the Bush-not-Bush formulation. He says Romney needs to "speak for America," explaining (with requisite Reagan reference):
What does this mean? It means speaking in a bipartisan way. It means appealing to the broad American tradition of international leadership, and to the actions of Harry Truman as well as those of Ronald Reagan. It means citing Joe Lieberman as well as John McCain, and the Washington Post editorial page as well as The Weekly Standard. It means praising our soldiers and our Marines, our diplomats and our intelligence professionals. It means finding something to praise in the actions of President Obama (perhaps his authorization of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden) and someone to praise among Obama's appointees -- perhaps Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her tireless travels on behalf of the nation and for stepping forward to take responsibility for the tragic failure to provide security in Benghazi.
What do Lieberman, McCain, the Washington Post editorial board, and The Weekly Standard all have in common? They were all enthusiastic supporters of George W. Bush's foreign policy, and were leading advocates not just for the invasion of Iraq to secure its non-existent WMDs but also the continued occupation of the country after that initial rationale famously fell apart.
And when it comes down to it, the fact that media conservatives are giving Romney advice on how to "win" the debate is funny in and of itself, given that they'll likely declare Romney the winner no matter what he does.

BackTrack Linux
Beta is no longer supported so upgrade.
So, I followed this instuction building-perfect-backtrack-4-usb-thumb.html from powercram.com to make a bt4 usb stick that keeps stuff I install.
I ended up at the lines before "Install Nessus" where I wanted to boot from the stick (I don't need nessus or crypted stuff, so I'd leave that out) but if I boot I receive the error
init: illegal runlevel (null)
now, I tried to search for files that set the init runlevel to find out what's wrong but I failed D:
what can I do?
Is there a solution for this problem? Is there a better solution to keep installed programs on my usb bt4?

3 cheapo ways to entertain your kids this summer
Summer Entertainment

Summer Fun Cheaply Done
Summer Event Savings
Every parent knows that when the sheer ecstasy of being released from school for the summer wears off, kid boredom soon sets in. It usually takes about three days. Here are three "entertainments" that can help.
Obstacle Course
My seven-year-old grandson loves this one. Make this in your largest stretch of yard. For a starting point, lay down a rake or broom. Obstacle one is plastic water-filled cups set in a row about a foot apart. Have the kids weave in and out, right to left, without knocking the cups as they move towards a large plastic bin turned upside down. They must run around it three times before they move on to a low jump in the form of a broom handle that is set six to eight inches off the ground. Hold the broom up or balance it between two cinder blocks. After this comes the "dash" to the lawn chair where eggs on spoons wait to be carried back through the course. If it's a really hot day, substitute water balloons that contenders can smash at the finish line. Time with a stopwatch or count it out. Keep track on a whiteboard or pad of paper and award small prizes for best times. Make the course challenging and let the kids chime in with their ideas, too.
Geocaching is fun. It also requires a lot more time and energy than you may have. Did you know that geocaching was preceded by a custom in the British Isles known as letterboxing? Items were placed in boxes, which were hidden in a public area, perhaps a park or hedgerow. Instructions for finding the box were sent by mail, and when found, a mark was made in a journal for the letterboxer to find. You can use a trimmed down version of letterboxing and teach your kids some good habits at the same time.
Give each child a box, perhaps an old gift box, a shoebox or a clean whipped topping container. Write names on with a marker. Explain that you will put an item in the box to be found by following instructions that will appear at breakfast. Instructions might include walking three steps to the kitchen door, going into the yard and turning right at the end of the walkway, etc. Make it as complicated as you wish. When the item is recovered the child will examine it and write a thank you with the paper and pencil included in the box. The child may also leave an item. When you return to refill the letterbox you'll have a nice thank you to read.
To build and maintain excitement for the idea, choose one day of the week to be letterboxing day. Books, small games, sidewalk chalk, balloons, or a jump rope are some ideas for the box found at the local dollar store. Homemade coupons for ice cream, a trip to the park or a movie rental are also good choices.

Living Room Picnic
Here's one we loved one recent rainy Monday. Let the kids help with the menu and shopping. Besides your picnic food, which may be as simple as PB & J sandwiches and carrot sticks, you'll need:
- A blanket or throw for the floor
- Brown paper bags for each person
- Pillows
- Spill proof cups or juice boxes
- Napkins
- Story books
- Beach ball and umbrella
- Ice cream or Popsicles
Let's make the living room the beach. Let the kids help pack lunch while you talk up the trip. Maybe swimsuits and flip-flops would be fun, too. Then march from the kitchen to "the beach" and set up. The pillows will help define your eating area and provide a place for leaning at story time. A golf umbrella at the edge of the blanket really gives a nice "beachy" feeling. Help the kids imagine seagulls, giant waves and soft sand. After lunch and story time, give each one a quarter for the ice cream stand (kitchen freezer) for dessert. Kids can clean up by putting trash in a beach pail; shake the blankets and pillows, etc. Tromp back home over the hot sand and call it a good lunch. And maybe next week you can go to the zoo. You've got to use all those stuffed animals for something, right?
The summer needn't be a long succession of hot, boring days. It can be a time of building memories that you and your kids will gab about for years. The only downside is you may become the most popular parent in the neighborhood when the word gets around about all the fun stuff going on at your house!

Tax Facts Index
Vol. 9, No. 1
January 1998
Refund of sales tax paid on bad debts
The Sales and Use Tax Ordinance provides dealers with a method of
claiming refunds of sales tax relative to bad debts. The sales tax is refundable only on
those bad debts that are the result of credit or deferred payment sales of tangible
personal property and sales of services financed by the dealer making the sale. Pursuant
to Louisiana Revised Statutes 47:315 (B), to qualify for a refund the dealer shall provide
documentation that:
The debt was incurred after September 3, 1989.
The debt was deducted on a Federal Income Tax return in accordance
with Section 166 of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
The Louisiana Department of Revenue and Taxation has approved a
refund of the applicable state sales tax on the same transaction.
Dealers must apply for this refund. Deduction for bad debt losses may
not be taken on sales tax returns. Since refunds of this nature are contingent upon a
deduction on the annual Federal Income Tax return, the Revenue Division will process one
refund per year for each dealer.
How important is a postmark date?
The Revenue Division computer system uses the U.S. Post Office postmark
on the envelope in determining whether a return is current or delinquent. The due date for
all registered filers is the 1st of the month in which the tax is due. A return is
considered delinquent after the 20th of the same month (See Tax Facts, March 1991,
October 1993 and October 1995). If the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday, the return must
be postmarked by the next work day. Any taxpayer whose return is postmarked after the
delinquent date will receive a notice of additional tax, penalty and interest due. The
return will be considered as a partial payment, and the taxpayer will receive delinquent
notices until final remittance is made.
The U.S. Post Office postmark is used to enforce the assessment of
penalty and interest and the loss of vendor's compensation. It is the responsibility of
each dealer to ensure that sales/use taxes are transmitted in a timely manner.
Additionally, dealers should be aware that giving their return to their route postal
worker on the 20th could result in a delinquent return because the envelope is not
postmarked until the next day. To avoid this situation, all taxpayers are urged to mail
early to ensure that their returns are recognized as filed timely.
For taxpayer reference and convenience, tax due and delinquent dates
for the current quarter are published in each issue of Tax Facts.
1998 Occupational License renewals
Businesses are reminded that their 1998 Occupational License renewals
were placed in the mail in December. Any unpaid licenses after February 28, 1998, will be
deemed delinquent and subject to penalty and interest. Penalty at the rate of 5% per
month, or fractional part thereof, not to exceed 25% and interest at the rate of 1.25% per
month, or fractional part thereof, will be computed from the first day of March and will
increase on the first day of each succeeding month. Please file renewals timely.
Sales tax due dates
Following are the sales tax due dates for the first quarter of 1998:
For the
Tax Due
Month of
February 1
February 21
March 1
March 21
April 1
April 21
Returns bearing a U.S. postmark on or after the above delinquent dates
will be assessed penalty, interest and loss of vendor's compensation. Remember to mail
your return early.

And how do we know for sure that the iPad and iPhone are the cause of sluggish sales for the 3DS. According to the article their biggest competition seems to be its predecessor.....not Apple.
Apple iPads are used for much more than just gaming....therefore they are more versatile and more popular. Comparing their sales to a device used strictly for gaming only is ridiculous.
Aside from the iPhone (on contract), haven't Apple's products ALWAYS been more expensive than the equivalent competition? Don't get me wrong, I am not ripping on any company here, but I don't recall a time when buying an Apple product saved me money over the competitor, even in markets where Apple is/was the underdog.
I set the picture as my Droid wall paper :P
We get it, Mike; you like Apple. We all do. I would just like to know if you even believe yourself when you make statements like -a story about Apple crushing the competition is in any way "under-told" around this site?
This entire article is completely without merit in my opinion.
Nowhere does it state in either article link that Apple is a direct result of these price drops. In fact the closest thing is a mention of tablets and smartphones in general affecting Logitech and Nintendo DSs sales. But there are many more tablets out there than just Apple, and no the fact that Apple is the most popular does NOT mean that Apple alone is responsible for the effect. There are several tablet manufacturers that you, Mr. Essany should have mentioned....not just your little Apple snuggle bear. Logitech's problems seem to be based more on operational problems and company morale which is why the CEO had to step back in and take care of business.
Just because the price they lowered Revue to just happens to match up with Apple TV's price tag does not mean that Apple is a result of the price drop. There are many factors that play a role in the ups and downs of business, and assuming that one particular company is the sole result when there is no legitimate proof to suggest that is downright laughable.
First of all, Nintendo lowered the 3DS price because they didnt make as many sales this past fiscal year as they had expected. Ipod/Iphone/Ipad games are in no way a competitor because appstore games are not as long or as pleasing as a console/handheld game. Nintendo's only competitor is the PSVita which isnt even available for purchase.
(just as a side-note, every person that bought the 3DS for full price is getting 20 games for free from the e-Shop, all of which are either NES or GBA)
You can get an iPod touch for $199 and the money you saved from the 3DS, you can easily buy 10 good games.
The PSP was always more advanced than the DS, better graphics. "More appealing", it had features in the first gen that the Ds just got in it's 4th gen. But, it never stopped the DS from coming on top. The same way the iOS platform may have shorter and less appealing games, it still comes out on top for children's choice. (Yes there are exceptions to this )
Regardless if Apple is the Direct cause or indirect cause, I'm willing to bet big time that Apple destroying the market. You can compare an iPad to a $250 3ds they are both considered gaming devices because 'you' feel it isnt doesn't make it that way.
I was reading somewhere that some guy thinks this has no merit..

Hey *** mod edit ***,
its the economy that's responsible for sluggish sales and lower price, not apple. what a crock of *** mod edit *** this article is.
And I find some of your article references amusing. How is it that Apple TV can "dominate" NetFlix when they are USING NetFlix to stream their content through Apple TV? Their dominating the iPad.....not NetFlix. And I also find it hilarious that they can classify the iPhone as a "portable gaming system" when it is designed and mainly used as a phone and music player. It is not a dedicated gaming system just because it has the ability to play games. They're comparing a smartphone sale to a portable gaming device sale. Walk into any electronics store and I'm pretty sure you won't find an iPhone in the XBox/PSP/Nintendo gaming console section......because it is not a portable gaming system......it's a portable PHONE/music player that just happens to have the ability to surf the web and play your average game where your fingers constantly get in the way via touchscreen controls. So naturally the ability to do all of those things combined with the virtual necessity for a cell phone nowadays will make it a more popular device. But ask anyone who has played a 3rd person shooter on a PSP vs. an iPhone and they will undoubtedly prefer the PSP.

UC Turns To Social Media To Raise Student Aid
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The University of California is hoping to harness the power of social media to raise money for student scholarships.
The UC system launched a six-week campaign on Wednesday that combines the old-school nonprofit model of donors pledging funds toward a specific fundraising goal with the Internet-driven concept known as crowdsourcing.
As part of the campaign, students, alumni, business executives, politicians and even a handful of Hollywood celebrities are promising to perform a task — for actor Jamie Foxx it's performing a rap song, for Gov. Jerry Brown hosting a lunch for 10 UC students — if they reach a certain fundraising goal.
Participants are supposed to tell people on their social networks about their promise and invite them to make donations through links to the campaign's web site, www.promiseforeducation.org .

This originally started in the personal mysteries thread.The ac-dc wall charger for my tablet disappeared. After a couple of days, mom finally fessed up to throwing out "a weird looking wire". So I tried all sorts of places, including Radio Shack, to get a replacement. No luck. I finally get in touch with the manufacturer over the phone (they never responded to my emails) and they tell me to mail a check or money order with a written request for a wall charger. No, they don't take orders over their website.So over three weeks ago I mail my order with a personal check. I gave it a little time due to the upcoming holidays, but they couldn't give me any updates when I called last week.Yesterday there's a voicemail from them saying "We don't accept personal checks, only money orders or cashier's checks."I'm still trying to calm down before calling them back to say nevermind.So I'm never buying another item from Craig Electronics again.
Breath deeply. Go to your happy place. Remember we all understand and sympathize.And thanks for the tip.
I found a charger for my "antique" electronic keyboard this way - bet you could find one this way too:Google "charger [name/model of your tablet]" - it was just that easy, and cheap.
If you know the charging requirements (usually it will be something like "Output: 5V ---- 1A"), then you can search for the exact power requirements. As long as the charger you buy has the proper connection, and has the exact power output you need, you'll be set.

As long as the charger you buy has the proper connection, and has the exact power output you need, you'll be set.I tried that, I really did, but the blasted thing wouldn't charge with the charger that wasn't made by the company. I tried 3-4 different chargers (once I found ones that would actually fit). And unlike any other device I've dealt with (including mom's cheapo smart phone), it won't charge off the computer.
That's crazy, Reika. No wonder you're frustrated!! My DD's Nook Color charging cable broke after just 4 months and of course it's just slightly different from allll the many other micro USB chargers we have. The replacements are $20 and the reviews are full of people complaining how easily they break. Meanwhile my Kindle charger is still like new after 3 years and even if it broke all the standard chargers fit it just fine. Ten points for Kindle!
