AMAZING work!!!
I adore this new feature!
Amazing! OMG you found Emma's green Milly sweater! Yay Nicolle!
Yay Nicolle! Nicolle hooray!
This is such a fun feature, although it will likely make my wallet unhappy.
I found a few new listings for Emma's clothes when I went ebay stalking last night:
J. Crew Double Serge Bow Skirt in blue size 2:
J. Crew taupe crosshatch skirt in size 0:
J. Crew pink bouquet cardigan in XS:
There are also lots of cute Anthropologie cardigans up for bid that I think Emma would be proud to wear!
The famous green Milly henley sweater! XS
Emma and I are kindered spirits: red heads & cardigans galore! I was so thrilled to see that we both "own" the Anthropologie Clinging Blossoms Cardigan. Thanks for posting!
I won Quinn's Juicy Couture shift dress. It was in black and a size 0 though, which you didn't have listed. This feature is great!
I got a pair of navy/gold/blue Penelope Mary Janes via the last posting! Thanks, I love them!
I love the Glee-bay feature! This is so awesome. Thank you for doing this.
I finally got the beaded ladybug necklace!!
I don't know whether to thank you or yell at you!! I love your GLEEBAY posts... so much that I am now spending every free minute roaming ebay and am now starting to run behind on my uni work...!! But thanks to you I am now the proud owner of a juicy fruit skirt and am in the lead for the cream ruffles jacket!! Yeay wwepw Yeay!
I just got black and silver PMJ's and the yellow J Crew necklace! Love it!
Hi There,
A friend just told me about your blog (I'm in love!) after she read my "Kiki Pillsbury" blog post: http://psychedforstyle.blogspot.com/2010/10/kiki-pillsbury.html
I can't wait to read through your posts! :) Kiki
Wahhh! I love that Precious Metals cardigan so much, and they have it in my size, but where the hell am I ever going to wear it? I can't justify the purchase -- waaaaaahhhhh!
Rebecca, having a sad
I LOVE! this feature! My wallet will be unhappy. Do any ebayers email you to thank you? I've noticed several buy it now items are already snatched up. As is, I'm now watching a few ...
THANK YOU for doing this. I am hoping to grab a few items. :D You are a goddess.
I am ALWAYS wondering about each and every thing I see on Glee... this is awesome. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us!
This is a great feature, but I'm sad that I never see Mercedes's clothes featured in it -- since hers are probably the only costumes available in a size I could wear.
I am new to your blog. Let me say that I just love it. I just scored the Pink Milly Cashmere sweater for $79. Thank you so much for this feature, it's totally awesome.
That's an amazing roundup! It will be hard on my wallet.
Great JOB Nicholle. I was able to pick up a few items & I am soooo excited. I could never afford for full price. So THANK YOU!
Every episode I want her outfits. Thanks for doing this! It's Amazing!
Thank you so much for this feature! Love love it! Haven't won anything yet, but the minute a green milly sweater (you know the one) in L comes out, it will be mine!
Juicy Couture Coat in Green, size Small
Good Luck!
Yay, I got Rachel's beret from the Christmas ep! I love this feature - thanks so much for doing it!
I won the Blueberry Tuft Cardigan thanks to Gleebay! Only $61 too :)
Not sure what this site owner's relationship is with that ebay account selling "stella & dot" but I have reported the account for possible copy right infringement. And I advise the listing be removed. Stella & Dot is sold through independent consultants and stelladot.com ONLY.
Have a great day
If you read the post, I clearly state that I do not endorse any of the eBay sellers listed here, nor do I have any affiliation with any of them.
I won't remove the listing, because I see no reason why someone can't resell an item purchased through Stella & Dot on eBay if they want to. If I had some Tupperware I wasn't using any more, for example, I could sell it on eBay if I chose, even thought it was purchased through an independent consultant. It is up to eBay to determine the appropriateness of the listing and remove it based on their policies.
I do appreciate your concern for Stella & Dot consultants! Good luck! :)
Thanks Nicolle!
Do you know anything about the blue dress Quinn is wearing in the listing for the Anthropologie Plaza Cardigan?
I just bought the Betsey Johnson Bow Earrings...they are so cute... And I'm waiting on delivery of the J.Crew Ladybug Necklace. Thank you so much Nicolle, you do a fantastic job!! I now spend all my time (and money) on Emma Pillsbury clothes!
I finally scored an Owl Sweater Clip from eBay (around $21.00). I think I got it for a fair price already, since I've seen recent auctions going for a much higher price.
Now my next target are the Betsey Johnson Cherry Earrings.
I love this so much. I have you all thank for some cardingans and jewlery. My wardrobe is improving by the GleeBay exponetially. I sinscerely appreciate your hard work.
Thanks everyone! Glad I can spread a little Pillsbury!
@JennyB I haven't come across that dress yet. I'm not sure what brand it is but if I find out I will let you know!
@Anon I'm not as familiar with Mercedes' clothes as I am the rest. I know she wears a lot of Torrid but when searching Torrid on eBay there is an overwhelming amount of items! If I ever find anything I will make sure to post it!
@Kate I've never gotten any emails from eBay sellers. I wonder if they even know about this? :)
I just love this site! I've made myself a promise that as soon as I manage to loose my target weight (29kg!) I'm gonna splash out and buy my first designer something, most likely found through this feature as there are some lovely items! :D
Thanks, Nicolle! I just won an auction for a cardigan at a real steal. :)
I won the Moth Anthropologie Swallow's Twitter Leaf Cardigan in AQua! I'm in love :)
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!
i found the Juicy Couture fruity skirt a few weeks ago and I have been stalking incessantly (forgive me for not sharing but I was being selfish). It was my size and it was expensive. This week it was posted at a $9.99 starting price! So as a good, frugal ebayer I wanted to wait til moments before it ended in order to snap it up at a great price. But NO! My internet was out due to the crazy amount of snow we got last night! UGH! It slipped through my fingers!! The lucky lucky lucky girl got it for $17! My heart is broken... You are the only ones who will understand the "funk" i am in...
Oh, E! We all feel your pain! I once lost a great eBay find because I FORGOT to bid at the last minute. FORGOT. *headdesk*
Just saw the Kate Spade Studio Mona Coat (the green striped one) cheaper than e-bay on the Kate Spade website. It's so adorable.
Oh, Lattice Pencil Skirt, how I have adored you from afar for over a year now. I have your cardigan, and coral jewelry waiting to go with you. And NOW YOU ARE MINE! And for less than $20?! This may be my 3rd best find, other than my PMJs and my Hello Telephone Figural! Definitely my cheapest! :)
I love love love love love this feature!! My sister bought me the red Betsy Johnson dress Rachel wore in Run Joey Run for Christmas. Best sister ever! Now I'm gonna snatch up all the Emma clothing I can afford. Which is very little. But still - thanks so much!!! Love your work :)
I just bought the XL Lucky coral/white cardigan.....yippee!!!
The pink Jackie cardigan Emma wears in Sexy is also on in XS.
Celibacy ladies! Dig it!
Yay - just won the Juicy Couture Fruity skirt - I've been wanting this skirt for months!!! Can't wait to wear it!
J Crew Double Serge Bow Skirt in ochre, size 6! :)
I hope you will forgive some shameless self promotion, but I am selling the white pintucked J Crew blouse Emma wore with the printed tibi skirt. It just doesn't fit me right any longer, and I would love it if another Emma fan won it. It is very hard to find.
Whoo hoo! Did "Buy It Now" on one of the Anthro Take Action dresses, just got it today. It's lovely. It was $114 with shipping BUT that's still much better than $168 at Anthro, right? RIGHT? ;)
Love this blog, from one Danielle to another, and Nicolle, you are doing a GREAT job feeding my ebay addiction.
Can you please tell me about mr. shue ties? where can I get one of those? I want them for my husbands birthday , I like them so much and he likes them too. :)
Any one know what brand and color the cardigan Emma wears with the take action dress?
Quinn is wearing the Anthro's Back Porch Blouse (current), not the Ruffian Dahalia Blouse.
Seconding the Back Porch Blouse comment...
J Crew Spencer crackle in silver metallic size 9.5 (only 2 sizes too big for me - sadface)
I just listed the j crew necklace emma is wearing on the homepage of this blog (but in ivory)...
I just won the black and white floral Kate Spade dress and I love it! :)

Facilities access is the first line of defense for most agencies. Keeping cyberspace clear of bad guys does little good if they can walk in the front door of the building and into the server room. So it's essential to know who is where in today's office buildings, schools, warehouses or labs. But implementing a robust and non-invasive biometric scanning system has always been both expensive and a bit of a technological chore.
Shuttle Computer Group is trying to make it easier and more affordable to lock down buildings using biometric controls with its HR70 all-in-one facial recognition hardware. In addition to scanning faces, the HR70 has an optional contactless card reader that could work with Personal Identity Verification and Common Access Cards, and it even has a fingerprint reader that does not require contact with the screen.
"More and more companies are using security devices for employee access, time stamping and verification of employee location in case of an emergency, but high cost has been prohibitive," said Marty Lash, director, sales and marketing, Shuttle Computer Group. "Now Shuttle has an affordable, all-in-one product, making it easier for integrators to develop a customized solution for any security installation."
Designed for commercial, industrial or institutional systems, Shuttle will make a software development kit and an application programming interface available so integrators can use the HR70 as a basis for electronic access control systems using facial recognition, optional card reading and/or fingerprint identification. Programmers can use one, two or all three devices together to determine security access levels.
Shuttle's HR 70 features a seven-inch LCD touch-screen panel with two 2.0 megapixel, 720p high-definition cameras. It is powered by an Intel Celeron 847 17W CPU for fast search-and-match results through large databases.
Using the USB 3.0, RS232 and two-way RS485 communications support, programmers can create dynamic actions like opening doors, lifting garages, sliding bolts, releasing locks and other actions based on facial, fingerprint or card recognition, with almost instantaneous results. And because these devices are connected to a network, they can be remotely monitored from a central location, and security personnel can view access in real time.
The HR70 will be available in mid-July through ASI, Ingram, Ma Labs and Synnex, and it comes with a standard three-year limited warranty. Pricing will be announced at that time, but company officials told GCN that they expect the kit will be available for less than $1,500 per unit.

Last week, Halfmoon Supervisor and Saratoga County Board of Supervisors member Mindy Wormuth, giving into the inevitable, announced she would not challenge Kevin Tollisen, an attorney and former town justice, in the Republican primary for her seat. Town Republicans had previously endorsed Tollisen for the office, dumping the incumbent in the process. In typical Wormuth style, she blasted the endorsement process, saying, "(i)t was very much of a backroom deal done in a style of deceitful political conduct that I do not approve of."
Backroom deal? Perhaps. But, to be fair, Wormuth is probably qualified to make such statements, having shown herself to be something of an expert on the matter. [Read more…]

Stephen King has written a sequel to his 1977 novel "The Shining." This follow-up, which King tells USA Today is a "true history of the Torrance family," is titled "Doctor Sleep" and it initially picks up three years after the end of the first book, with 8-year-old Danny being visited by an Overlook Hotel ghost, then jumps ahead to when Danny is Dan, an adult alcoholic working as a hospital orderly.
While King says the famous movie starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall is "certainly beautiful to look at," he says that it was made with a "cold heart" and showed very little understanding of the characters from the novel.
Therefore, don't expect "Doctor Sleep" to be a sequel to the horror film, which ended quite differently from the novel.
One of the over-arching themes of "Doctor Sleep" is whether Dan, who is facing new supernatural enemies, will be as self-destructive as his father was in the original novel.
Part of the suspense in Doctor Sleep is whether Dan, who ends up battling new supernatural forces, is doomed to be as self-destructive as his dad. King calls his characterizations in "Doctor Sleep" "sharper" than "The Shining," saying that he's older and has "learned a little more."
"Doctor Sleep" hits bookstores and e-readers Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Cards beat Giants to take 3-1 NLCS lead
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Adam Wainwright threw seven innings of four-hit ball and the St. Louis Cardinals roughed up Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants in an 8-3 rout Thursday night that gave them a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series.
Matt Holliday, Jon Jay and Yadier Molina had two RBIs apiece to lead a 12-hit outburst by a team that batted just .198 through the first three games of the series.
The defending champion Cardinals can wrap up their second straight trip to the World Series as a wild card with a victory at home Friday night in Game 5. Lance Lynn faces Giants lefty Barry Zito.
Lincecum was a bust in his first postseason start since the World Series clincher over Texas in 2010, giving up four runs in 4 2-3 innings.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner with the quirky delivery earned a shot based on nearly spotless relief work earlier in the postseason but reverted to regular-season form, when he was 10-15 with a 5.18 ERA, worst among qualifying starters in the National League.
Wainwright was a glorified cheerleader while rehabbing from elbow reconstruction during the Cardinals' improbable title drive last fall after earning the wild card on the final day and then upsetting the favored Phillies, Brewers and Rangers to give manager Tony La Russa a chance to retire on top.
Under rookie manager Mike Matheny, the Cardinals were the final team to qualify this year, too. Once again, they've stepped up their game.
Wainwright bounced back from a rough outing in Game 5 of the NL division series, striking out five and walking none for his first career postseason victory as a starter. The lone damage against him came on Hunter Pence's first homer and RBI of the postseason, a second-inning clout estimated at 451 feet that soared over the visitor's bullpen into the bleachers in left-center to cut the Cardinals' lead to 2-1.
Now, the 14-game winner is on the verge of his first World Series as an active player since striking out Brandon Inge as the stand-in closer for injured Jason Isringhausen in the 2006 clincher over the Tigers.
Just 12 pitches in, the Cardinals had two hits and the lead and Lincecum got a visit from pitching coach Dave Righetti. Jay opened the first with a single, Matt Carpenter walked on four pitches and Holliday singled up the middle for the lead. Allen Craig tacked on a sacrifice fly.
Lincecum escaped trouble in the second after issuing two more walks, one of them on five pitches to Wainwright. The Cardinals missed a chance to add on after Pete Kozma reached on third baseman Pablo Sandoval's fielding error to open the inning when he was thrown out trying to steal.
Lincecum had retired eight in a row before running into trouble in the fifth.
Carpenter doubled off the top of the wall in right-center with one out. He held up until Holliday's single fell in front of fast-charging center fielder Angel Pagan, but third base coach Jose Oquendo aggressively waved Carpenter home.
The relay from shortstop Brandon Crawford was in time, but short-hopped catcher Hector Sanchez and Carpenter scored on a headfirst slide to make it 3-1 and Holliday went to second on the play. Molina's two-out RBI single made it 4-1 and was the knockout blow for Lincecum.
Pence, who called himself ''the goat'' of Game 3 after stranding seven runners, hit the second-longest home run by an opposing player at 7-year-old Busch Stadium with a 451-foot drive that sailed over the visitor's bullpen into the bleachers in left-center.
Holliday's RBI single was the first by a Cardinals starter since Carlos Beltran's two-run homer in the fourth inning of Game 1. Holliday entered 2 for 12 in the NLCS with no RBIs.
Sandoval hit a two-run homer in the ninth.
NOTES: Cardinals Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Ozzie Smith made pregame appearances. The 91-year-old Musial toured the warning track in a golf cart while waving to fans and Smith threw out the first pitch. Smith's son, Nikko Smith, a former American Idol finalist, sang the national anthem. ... With Beltran out, Matheny changed the lineup for the first time in the postseason. ... According to STATS LLC, the Giants have faced a 2-1 series deficit eight times in franchise history. They have lost Game 4 each time.

Key Areas of Bilateral Cooperation
Located at a critical, strategic position bordering the Arabian Gulf, the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Hormuz, and less than 100 miles from Iran, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an important and reliable ally of the United States.
In the UAE, the economy is thriving, moderate Islam is celebrated, women hold key cabinet posts, over 200 nationalities live and work peacefully together, and US engagement is welcome.
In fact, the bilateral relationship between the UAE and US has been steadily expanding since the founding of the UAE in 1971. The relationship provides a critical and effective first line of collective defense against shared threats.
The UAE-US relationship has its foundation in a shared commitment to promote peace and security in the Gulf, counter extremism and deter threats to regional instability. The partnership has become stronger through the years with exponential growth in bilateral trade and economic cooperation and cultural partnerships.
The UAE has made significant progress to advance women's rights, promote religious tolerance, and embrace its growing role as an engaged and responsible player in world affairs.
Places that have come back from the tough economic crisis the best and the quickest are the ones which have an operative model which creates cooperation across all sectors of society, races, religions, and ethnic groups, where people find a way to celebrate and are proud of their differences and they work together in shared responsibility. Dubai and the UAE show that a "model of shared prosperity is more important today than ever and an inspiration to many countries in the Middle East." - President Bill Clinton (April 10, 2013)
Economic and Trade Relations
Economic ties between the US and the UAE continue to flourish.
- As the UAE economy has grown and diversified, the country is increasingly an important trading partner with the United States. The UAE is the United States' single largest export market in the Middle East, with more than $22.11 billion in exports in 2014 – the sixth straight year the UAE has held this distinction.
- Every state in the United States exports to the UAE, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
- The UAE pegs its currency, the dirham, to the dollar.
- Through significant investments in the United States for over 40 years, the UAE has been a dependable and long-term contributor to US economy, providing liquidity to US capital markets, growth for US companies and job security for US workers
- The US-UAE Business Council was launched in 2007 and is comprised of companies from both countries committed to expanding bilateral commercial opportunities.
- Over 1000 US firms have an on-the-ground and expanding presence in the UAE.
- The UAE and US have established a formal Economic Policy Dialogue, which is a government-to-government program that facilitates increased bilateral business and investment, and enhances the role of the private sector to promote economic growth in the UAE and US.
- The UAE hosted the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Dubai in 2012, reaffirming UAE and US support for broad-based economic growth and opportunity in the Middle East region.
- The UAE's national airlines – Emirates and Etihad – now fly 91 direct flights between the UAE and American cities each week. Many new flights have been introduced recently, including three new flights from Washington, DC and Los Angeles, CA and Dallas, TX to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
- Boeing: The UAE is the largest customer for Boeing commercial passenger aircraft. Customers include Emirates Airlines, which is the world's largest operator of 777 aircraft and the only airline to operate every Boeing model type.
- At the 2013 Dubai Airshow, UAE airlines made history with the largest ever commercial aircraft order buying more than 300 new Boeing aircraft with a value of over $120 billion.
- Oil and Gas Sector: The UAE is the only Gulf state to allow private-sector participation in its oil and gas sector.
- ExxonMobil is a strategic partner of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
- Bechtel has a number of projects in the gas sector.
- Foster Wheeler is a key contractor in the UAE gas sector, recently awarded a contract for management of a major gas complex expansion.
- Occidental Petroleum owns 24.5 percent of the Dolphin Energy project, an initiative to import Qatari natural gas to the UAE.
Recent Transactions
- Emirati company Taqa Global has invested in a 205.5 megawatt Lakefield wind project in Jackson County, Minnesota. When operational, the field will produce enough sustainable energy to power over 60,000 homes.
- In December 2010, The Mubadala Development Company made an additional investment of $500 million in The Carlyle Group general partnership. The Carlyle Group first sold Mubadala a 7.5% stake in its general partnership in September 2006.
- The Mubadala Development Company and General Electric have multiple cooperative projects in alternative energy, regional finance, and aerospace, including an $8 billion joint venture in high technology. Mubadala is one of the top GE shareholders.
- Westinghouse is taking part in a South Korean-led consortium that has won a $20-billion contract to build four nuclear reactors for commercial energy generation in the UAE.
- The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) acquired an 11 percent share in the Hyatt Hotels Group in December 2009.
- GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a joint venture between AMD and Advanced Technology Investment Company of Abu Dhabi, has opened a $4.2 billion manufacturing facility in Saratoga County, New York.
Security Relations
The UAE and US security partnership continues to deepen.
As transitions continue in the Middle East, the strategic threats remain as serious as ever: nuclear weapons proliferation, terrorism and extremism, unwelcome aggression against other nations, and risks to vital sea lanes. To face these common threats and protect its own unique regional model of tolerance and free markets, the UAE has taken on a leadership role in regional security, while strengthening defense cooperation with the US.
- A formal Defense Cooperation Agreement has been in place since 1994 between the UAE and US
- UAE ports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are crucial to US naval operations, providing the only deep harbors in the Arabian Gulf accessible to US aircraft carriers. In fact, more US naval vessels visit UAE ports than any others outside of the US.
- More than 2,000 US military personnel are based in the UAE, primarily at Al Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi.
- The UAE Air Force operates 80 F-16 Block 60 aircraft. Manufactured by Lockheed Martin in Texas, the Block 60 is the most advanced F-16 ever developed and fully interoperable with US systems.
- The UAE is working with the US to strengthen regional missile defense capabilities, deploying the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) system, and became the first country to acquire the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD).
- The UAE contributes forces or assistance to US and coalition military actions. In fact, the UAE is only one of three countries and the only Arab nation to participate with the US in six coalition actions over the last 20 years including a ten year special forces deployment with NATO in Afghanistan and most recently contributing combat aviation assets to the NATO-led mission in Libya.
- UAE and US forces participate regularly in joint training exercises, in order to improve coordination and interoperability
The UAE's contributions to the fight against terrorism include:
- Significant intelligence cooperation with various US government agencies.
- Joint task forces on money laundering, terrorist financing, and nuclear proliferation.
- Enforcing export control laws to prevent the transshipment of sensitive goods and technologies.
- The UAE was the first Middle Eastern country to join the US Container Security Initiative, allowing US customs officers inspect US-bound cargos at UAE ports.
- The UAE is a signatory to the Proliferation Security Initiative.
- The UAE fully supports and enforces UN sanctions to contain Iranian nuclear weapons capabilities.
- Hedayah, the Center for Countering Violent Extremism, is a multinational initiative based in the UAE to counter violent extremism in all of its forms and manifestations through training, dialogue, collaboration, and research.
- The Abu Dhabi based Sawab Center, is the first-ever multinational online messaging and engagement program to counter extremist propaganda and terrorist messaging in the online space. Co-founded by the UAE and the US, the Sawab Center will use direct online engagement to counter terrorist propaganda rapidly and effectively.

Working for Peace in the Region
The UAE actively promotes a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- The UAE supports two key United Nations agencies working in the West Bank and Gaza: the UN Development Programme, (UNDP) and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
- The UAE Red Crescent and other UAE charitable organizations have contributed over Dh2 billion (US$544 million) to humanitarian projects in Palestine and in Syria for Palestinian refugees, including the construction of a girl's school at a refugee camp near Damascus in association with the UNRWA.
- The Mohammed bin Rashid Foundation has built several schools, hospitals and medical centers in the Palestinian West Bank.
In Pakistan, the UAE is strongly committed to stability and long-term development and has provided aid amounting to US $800 million to date. International participation is central to ensuring the stability of Pakistan, and in 2008, the UAE has undertaken the initiative to participate in the group of "Friends of Democratic Pakistan."
Since 2003, the UAE has remained committed to making significant humanitarian contribution in Afghanistan. These investments have added in the construction of 11 schools, 6 medical clinics, a major hospital, a public library, and numerous mosques among other projects.
- The UAE Government dedicated $30 million to international reconstruction efforts.
- The UAE Red Crescent has invested $19 million in local projects.
- The people of the UAE have made $22 million in private contributions.
Social and Cultural Ties with the United States
The UAE is an innovative social investor, seeking ways to expand opportunities for UAE citizens and help address regional and global challenges.
- Women have full rights in the UAE Constitution, are well-educated and protected in the workplace. Eight cabinet ministers are women—including Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, Minister of State for Tolerance, who was on Forbes magazine's 2007 list of the 100 most powerful women in the world. The UAE has four women fighter pilots. Nearly one-quarter of the Federal National Council (FNC), the UAE's advisory parliament, consists of women. In November 2015, Dr. Amal Al Qubaisi became president of the FNC, making her the first woman in the region to lead a national assembly. She previously served as the FNC's deputy speaker. There are also three women ambassadors, to Spain, Sweden and Montenegro. In September of 2013 Lana Nusseibeh presented her credentials to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Ambassador Nusseibeh is the first female permanent representative to the UN and the fifth woman in the country to serve as an ambassador.

UAE Global Humanitarian Initiatives
Consistent with its traditions, the UAE is a reliable friend.
Since its founding, the UAE has become one of the world's largest per capita providers of foreign assistance. In that spirit, the UAE has provided support to communities in the US that are recovering from disasters or have other needs.
- In order to help Joplin, Missouri rebuild after a severe tornado devastated the town in 2011, the UAE provided significant grants to support the public school system and construction of a new pediatric healthcare wing at Joplin Mercy Hospital. The UAE Embassy in Washington DC also sent a team of volunteers to help rebuild homes after the tornado.

There are currently nine fields in cities around the US.
- In 2009, the UAE provided a $150 million gift to Children's National Medical Center in Washington DC. The gift created the new Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation. The UAE has also provided gifts to Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, and the MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas.
- The UAE provided $100 million to the United States in the days following Hurricane Katrina.
The UAE's sizeable foreign aid activities outside the US include:
- The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Development Assistance Committee ranked the UAE as the world's largest donor of official development aid during 2014, relative to its national income, for the second consecutive year.
- Dubai Cares, which has reached more than 5 million children in 24 countries with projects that improve access to primary education for children in developing nations.
- Funding for Tsunami Relief ($100 million); Pakistani Earthquake Relief ($100 million).
- Following the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti the UAE government and UAE foundations rapidly mobilized to deliver over 700 tons in food and shelter supplies to the affected region.
- Throughout the Libya conflict, the UAE offered roughly US $13 million in aid. UAE-sponsored projects have contributed 5,000 tons of aid to refugees.
- The UAE also has provided significant funding and assistance to Iraq, including medical treatment for Iraqi children, training for Iraqi police, reconstruction of hospital in Iraq and education for Iraqi students in the UAE on scholarship.
- The UAE pledged $4 billion in aid and investment to Egypt on the sidelines of the Egypt Economic Development Conference in March 2015. With UAE help, four bridges have been built, 41 railway level crossings have come up, 78 health care units in 23 governorates to serve 780,000 citizens have been established, and several more initiatives will be implemented over the course of the upcoming months and years.

BackupBuddy: Advanced Debugging
From IThemes Codex
Contents |
Backing Up
Unexpected Behaviour
Backups Time Out / Marked as Bad
- Backup file size is too large so it takes too long to finish & server kills it. Try reducing backup size, excluding directories, disabling compression to speed up zip file generation, or getting host to enable native zip compression if not already enabled.
- Backup file location permissions do not allow writing. Give write permissions to the directory /wp-content/uploads/.
Fallback to Compatibility Mode (not necessarily a 'problem')
- The command line command 'zip' is unavailable. Ask host to allow access to it. Not available on Windows without using the zip package we provide (Ask Dustin about this until he documents it!)
- exec() function is disabled in PHP. Ask host to remove this block or remove it from the block list in cPanel if available. (Ask Dustin about this until he documents it!)
- They are using Windows. -- ask Dustin.
FTP Transfers Fail
- Login credentials are wrong. Test them to be sure. This is surprisingly common. View the HTML source to obtain the hidden password.
- The path entered is incorrect or the directory has not been created. BackupBuddy requires the path to already exist.
- Some hosts block outgoing FTP connections, port 21 (standard FTP port), and/or do not have the FTP extension available for their PHP installation. This can easily be tested by entering settings for a known working FTP or by taking the FTP settings the user entered and trying them in an FTP client.
Scheduled Events Fail to Trigger
- The scheduled date is wrong and has not passed.
- Not enough visitors are visiting to trigger the schedule. Someone must visit any page on the WordPress site on or after the scheduled time for the event to occur. If no one visits during the time-frame then the event may be missed or occur at an unscheduled time.
- The backup is failing. Test manual backups.
Error Messages
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in /www/wp-content/plugins/backupbuddy/backupbuddy.php on line 1673
Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /www/wp-content/plugins/backupbuddy/lib/zip/zip.php on line 124
- exec() is disabled somewhere in PHP configuration. Ask the host to correct this or use cPanel to edit PHP settings to enable it if possible. See 'Fallback to Compatibility Mode' above.
Importing / Migrating with importbuddy.php
Unexpected Behaviour
The source site is now redirecting to the destination site (or vice versa):
- This occurs if the new database settings were not entered during Step 4 of importbuddy.php. Because of this, both sites are now sharing the same database so one of them (usually source) is redirecting to the other (usually destination). importbuddy.php needs to be re-run inputting the source URL on Step 4 and using the source database settings. This will reconfigure the source database to use its proper URL. Next importbuddy.php needs to be run again inputting the destination URL on Step 4 with the NEW database settings for the new database. This way both sites will have their own database for their respective URLs.
Error Messages
ERROR #59233894: NOTE: Did you refresh after finishing the import? If so, [...]
- This error indicates that BackupBuddy was unable to detect the file 'backupbuddy_dat.php' in the current directory nor wp-content/uploads/temp_XXXXXX/backupbuddy_dat.php where XXXXXX are the random characters found in the ZIP file name. Verify the directory has write permissions. You can try editing importbuddy.php and changing the false in the following to true: $force_compatibility = false; You may also manually extract the ZIP file in the same directory using cPanel or your own software to continue to the next step.
500 Server Errors:
- .htaccess file is causing URLs to be redirected improperly or is malformed.
- PHP is not functioning or enabled for the site. Check with basic phpinfo().
- A 404 error is occurring but the server is not set up correctly to return a 404. Do sanity check with .htm file.
The backup zip file is not found:
- The zip file has been renamed to a non-BackupBuddy format.
- The zip file permissions are wrong. Ex: Not readable.
- The zip file is not in the same directory as importbuddy.php.
- The zip file has not finished uploading or was interrupted in transit. If BackupBuddy was used to send it try manually uploading.

Classics in Concert
Hear The Opera That Just Won The PulitzerMinnesota Public Radio
Listen: Prolgue & Act 1
Listen: Act 2
New York-based composer and Peabody Institute faculty member Kevin Puts has won the Pulitizer Prize for music with Silent Night, his first opera. The work received its world premiere in November at the Minnesota Opera in St. Paul.
Pulitzer officials described Silent Night as "a stirring opera that recounts the true story of a spontaneous cease-fire among Scottish, French and Germans during World War I, displaying versatility of style and cutting straight to the heart."
Minnesota Opera commissioned Puts to write Silent Night with librettist Mark Campbell and came up with the idea of basing it on the screenplay by Christian Carion for the Oscar-nominated 2005 French film Joyeux Nöel, which dramatized actual events. (You can read the opera's synopsis here.)
The 40-year-old composer says it's his first opera. "I'm still learning about the voice and how to write most idiomatically for it," Puts said in a phone interview. "My music has become more and more lyrical over the years, so it wasn't too much of a stretch."
What was a challenge for Puts was the variety of tongues — there are scenes in Silent Night sung in German, French, English, Italian and Latin. "Getting my head around the language was the biggest challenge of the opera," he said.
Much of the opera is set in the trenches of a Belgian battlefield during the days before Christmas 1914. On Christmas Eve, music comes from the French and Scottish bunkers as soldiers celebrate the holiday. An opera-singing German soldier responds with a Christmas song, and before long white flags wave and a temporary truce is brokered. In the end, generals admonish their soldiers for giving in and the battlefield is emptied as snow begins to fall.
As soon as Puts watched the film, he could envision the scenes unfolding onstage. His love of cinema affected the rhythm of his opera.
"I didn't want to let go of the audience," Puts said. "I wanted to keep a grip on them for the entire duration. Some scenes overlap. I wanted to create a sense of dreamlike continuity as you move from bunker to bunker. And that is a sort of cinematic influence."
A native of St. Louis, Puts studied at the Eastman School of Music with Samuel Adler and Pulitzer winner Joseph Schwantner, before moving on to Yale for a master's degree, where he studied under Jacob Druckman and David Lang, who have also won Pulitzers. Puts returned to Eastman for his doctorate.
Puts teaches composition at Peabody and has composed an impressive body of work including symphonies, concertos and chamber music performed throughout the U.S. and abroad. He began working on Silent Night with Campbell in 2009.
"The first thought I had when I started writing measure 1 was that it is was so exciting that I wanted it to go well enough that I could write another opera," Puts said. "The medium is so exciting to me."

Israeli Teen on Leadership Program Goes AWOL in Toronto
The 16-year-old calls organizers and family, says he decided to stay in Toronto. Jewish Agency, local police are attempting to locate the teenager.
Police are looking for an Israeli teenager who left a Jewish leadership program in Toronto and disappeared, but later called to tell officials he is okay.
The 16-year-old male, who was on a Jewish Agency-UJA Federation of Greater Toronto reciprocal program, called the organizers and his parents, as well as his sister, to tell them he had decided to leave the group and remain in Toronto, the Jewish Agency said in a statement.
Local police forces, in cooperation with representatives of the Jewish Agency, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eilat authorities and the welfare and educational authorities in Israel are working to locate the teen, according to the Jewish Agency.
The teen was participating in the Diller Teen Fellows, a Jewish leadership program for teenagers from across Israel and the Jewish world. Diller Teen Fellows in Israel participate in a yearlong program that includes a reciprocal visit to an overseas Jewish community, where they meet and interact with other Diller fellows.
The rest of the group returned to Israel on Sunday as planned, according to the Jewish Agency.

Maya Rudolph and husband Paul Thomas Anderson welcomed a baby on July 3, a rep for the actress/comedian tells Us Weekly. The couple's new son, Jack, joins sisters Pearl, 5, and Lucille, 20 months.
Rudolph, who is set to appear on the new NBC comedy "Up All Night," will join fellow castmates Christina Applegate (who just gave birth to daughter Sadie) and Will Arnett (whose wife, Amy Poehler, gave birth to the couple's second child in August 2010.
Back in May, Rudolph joined her old "SNL" castmate Tina Fey — also pregnant — for a belly bump and a song about their then unborn children:

I for one don't want Brown.
You also think Joker was a complete waste as a coordinator and WR coach.
So forgive me for not exactly valuing your opinion on this one.
And I would like to have Brown but I think he takes a job like Southern Miss instead as HC.
What makes you think that I didn't like Joker as a WR/Coordinator at Kentucky?
402-132 since Joker Phillips has been at Kentucky. Why in the world did they even hire him considering the fact they couldn't beat UF while he was an assistant.
What made them think he could do it as a H.C.? How will the players even respect him when they go in and stifle Kentucky's offense? It's a shame that we've had to deal with this fool for so long. I hope when Crazy Horse leaves for the Texas job that Joker becomes the head coach of UF so you guys can feel the pain that we've felt for the past 3 years.

Five Funny Reasons To Be Thankful For Social Media
by Catharine P. Taylor on Nov 24, 12:45 PM
I've known for a while that nothing of real business use would take place here at the Social Media Insider on the day before Thanksgiving, but what I didn't know is how I would express it. In fact, if you'd asked me a few days ago, I might've predicted I would go all squishy (in the head!) with this column, listing five maudlin reasons to be thankful for social media: it keeps me in touch with old friends, it's great for fundraising... whatever.

Foursquare Bets Beyond The BCC Set
by David Berkowitz on Nov 23, 3:30 PM
One of the most important decisions Foursquare's leadership has made was revealed last week. It's one of those decisions that could determine if Foursquare becomes a footnote or a phenomenon. The only thing more incredible is that its future now will be determined by how consumers use old-fashioned grocery store loyalty cards.

Mark Zuckerberg On Facebook's Future: Not Necessarily About Advertising or Email
by Catharine P. Taylor on Nov 17, 3:45 PM
I spent the morning waiting for Norton to call and do the final fix on a dumb virus -- well, actually, it may be smart because it may still be here! -- that invaded my computer last night. In the meantime, I streamed Mark Zuckerberg's interview with John Battelle and Tim O'Reilly at this week's Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, which reminded me why so many of us want in on this technology thing, despite its lingering problems. If this virus thing is yin, the vision thing -- as outlined in this interview -- is yang.

Five Reminders For Social-Media Marketers
by David Berkowitz on Nov 16, 1:30 PM
When Facebook announced its new messaging service yesterday, you had to listen closely if you wanted to hear what social network founder Mark Zuckerberg said about brands. He mentioned that 350 million of Facebook's 500 million members use its messaging system (spanning the site's email, instant messaging, and text messaging) and that there are 4 billion messages sent daily. As a footnote, he said that doesn't include messages brands share, such as through status updates and notifications. That was it.

Pondering Rockmelt -- Or, How Much Sharing Is Too Much?
by Catharine P. Taylor on Nov 10, 5:15 PM
Let's all just stop for a minute and realize something: Everyone doesn't want to share everything. Maybe you're saying right now, "Hey, lady, I already knew that." But stop for a minute, and ask yourself how many social media products and companies are built on the premise that everyone does want to share everything. If you've ever read any of my posts about Foursquare, you know this is an issue I circle back to, a lot. The reason I am covering the topic again this week is Rockmelt, the so-called Facebook browser that lets you merrily traipse across the Internet ...

How Xbox Puts Connecting Into Kinect
by David Berkowitz on Nov 9, 3:30 PM
Throughout Friday, the comments kept piling up on my Facebook photos:
Dave...what is going on over there??
Huh? And so they continued. It was all in response to my day of testing out Microsoft's Xbox Kinect, the controller-free console gaming system that's designed not just to get players off the couch, but to put their whole bodies in the game. And one of the biggest surprises about Kinect is how well it includes social media as part of the experience.

News Corp. Calls MySpace's Losses 'Not Acceptable or Sustainable' -- Can This Portal Be Saved?
by Catharine P. Taylor on Nov 4, 2:00 PM
I never would've anticipated that I'd write about MySpace two weeks in a row. But I'm not writing about it so often because there's good news to share. Or because I've started going there. That light at the end of the tunnel, which some may have wanted to see with last week's redesign, is actually looking more like a freight train that may finally run over what once was the preeminent social networking site.

Are Mobile And Social Best Practices The Same?
by David Berkowitz on Nov 2, 2:15 PM
It's getting clearer by the day that mobile marketers can learn a lot from social marketers. This never struck me as much as it did last week while watching OMMA Mobile's keynote speaker, Andy Graham, who leads mobile strategy at Adidas. On occasion I worry that I embody the adage that when you just have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I am coming from the vantage point of someone responsible for both social media and mobile marketing strategy, so it's natural that some similarities will stand out. With Graham's presentation though, while he was talking entirely about mobile, ...

Naples: 9th World Conference on Bioethics, Medical Ethics and Health Law

9th World Conference on Bioethics, Medical Ethics and Health Law
Naples, Italy to Taipei, Taiwan. Some Neapolitans believe that their city is a piece of heaven that fell to earth. If this is true then the (toxic) waste scandals which have been going on for years in Naples may make us reconsider where we wish to live out eternity.
Thanks to the support of several of Naples' universities, the "UNESCO Chair in Bioethics 9th World Conference on Bioethics, Medical Ethics and Health Law" was held in Italy from November 19-21, 2013. With about 1300 participants attending, it was far larger than the previous conferences of this series.
The WMA has already sponsored the World Conference on Bioethics in the past, but this year we took an active part in structuring the program. In two WMA lead sessions chaired by our Past-President, Dr. Yoram Blachar and the WMA Secretary General we were able to address some of our association's major policies, namely the "Declaration of Helsinki - Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects" (DoH) and the "Declaration of Malta on Hunger Strikers". In the first session on the DoH our ethics advisor Jeff Blackmer and our legal counsel Annabel Seebohm reported on the development of the declaration and explained the most recent changes enacted with the 2013 Fortaleza version, as well as outlining the historical development of the scope of the declaration and the protections it offers.
During the second session, Associate Member and former ICRC expert Hernan Reyes, ethics advisor Vivienne Nathanson, as well as the Israeli Medical Association's legal counsel Malke Borrows and IsMA expert Tami Karni reported on the medical, legal and ethical questions surrounding the issue of hunger strikers, explaining the guidance set out in the Malta Declaration and outlining practical approaches on how to deal with hunger strikers.
It was very encouraging that many of the presentations at this conference – and I am not now only referring to those delivered during the WMA lead sessions – referenced WMA policy. This underlines not only the value of the work we are doing, but also the necessity to connect back to this group of professionals because questions regarding the interpretation of our policies do arise, and misinterpretations may sometimes even prevail.
The discussions highlighted a number of questions the WMA is currently working on or has dealt with in the past. These ranged from heated debates about conscientious objection to treatment by physicians, to end-of-life issues such as deep sedation, to the question about what the anonymisation of data means for study participants, to the problems surrounding consent and what should be required in the future with relation to biobanks, but also with regard to the cultural context i.e. whether community consent can override individual consent.
The conference had some clear outcomes for WMA:
- We are being seen, our policies are being used – for the most part they are very well received, but not without some criticism – we will have to deal with this.
- Medical ethics is developing further and rapidly, new questions are coming up, some old ones have to be answered again – there is no reason to stop working. Any gaps will be filled by others; potentially from groups without any medical expertise or responsibility.
- The medical and bioethicist community is eager to receive feedback from us. We should deliver this.

(Dec. 22) MONTEREY, Calif. — A second Canadian produce supplier has joined the Pro*Act foodservice distribution network, and more Canadian companies likely will follow.
Toronto-based Fresh Start Foods Inc. has become the second Canadian produce firm to join the system. It is Pro*Act's 39th member.
Pro*Act's next targeted Canadian market is Vancouver, Ligier said. The network now has 57 distribution centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
"This program allows Pro*Act to extend our sourcing, marketing, and networking services to distributors in almost any marketplace," Ligier said in a news release. "With the addition of Fresh Start, we have expanded our distribution base in Canada to include Toronto."
Hector Larivee Inc. gives Pro*Act a presence in Montreal.
"It became very apparent to us that Pro*Act was an organization with resources far beyond those that we hold as an independent company," Fresh Start president Scott Patterson said in a news release.
Fresh Start Foods Inc. has launched a vegetable processing division in its 50,000-square-foot facility in Milton, Ontario, a Toronto suburb. The company has distribution centers in Ottawa, Waterloo and London, Ontario.
"Their reputation in the industry, combined with their distribution coverage in Ontario, makes this a perfect fit for both organizations," Pro*Act chairman Greg Yancey said in the news release.

Which footballers are in trouble with the police for a "kebab meat attack"?
Southampton strikers use post-pub snack as offensive weapon
Tiny Southampton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips got into a spot of bother last year when he and Nathan Dyer allegedly stole mobiles phones and cash from purses at a Portsmouth nightclub. Ian Wright's boy could be in trouble once again after more high jinks on the town, according to his morning's Sun newspaper:
Two soccer players are at the centre of a police probe over claims that a man was attacked and pelted with kebab meat.
Southampton strikers Bradley Wright-Phillips, 23, and 21-year-old David McGoldrick were allegedly involved in a 2am fight outside a pub.
Wtight-Phillips, half-brother of Manchester City star Shaun, had been out in Southampton with McGoldrick after a match was called off.
Police said a man of 21 had complained. Neither player was arrested.
Could this probe turn into Britain's first kebab-throwing-based arrest? Will Bradley's dad bollock him live on talkSPORT as much as he did after the handbag thing? Only time will tell…

Bank of America (BAC) may have reported shrinking loans, lower revenue in five out of six divisions, and a dip in deposits on a quarter-over-quarter basis, but investors gave the stock an 8% bump in aftenoon trading.
Whether shorts are getting squeezed, or the bank's guidance impressed investors, the woebegone is at least getting a breather for the day. The bank has successfully cut its expenses and plans to continue to cut. And its capital ratios are slowly improving.
That said, investors still don't know what they don't know. The elephant in the room is still the bank's mortgage exposure, both in terms of loans its Countrywide unit sold during the downturn and its more recent foreclosure practices. On top of that, the entire financial sector is being weighed down by its unknown exposure to European debt. (Perhaps, if Bank of America had let CLSA analyst Mike Mayo speak on the conference call, we would have learned more.)
And that's why, despite an 8% move, the stock is still down 51% for the year.

Snowed in
Melissa Stagnaro
I knew I was in trouble when I looked out my friend Julie's kitchen window on Sunday night, and saw a traffic jam of sorts on the stretch of County Road 3 we Tyner folk refer to as Nicholson's Hill.
Julie and her husband Lyndon live at the top of that hill, and from our vantage point, we had clear view of the havoc Mother Nature was wreaking on the roads. More than one vehicle was in the ditch after failing to make it up the incline, and a couple of more dotted the opposite ditch, having unsuccessfully navigated the downward slope. Still more vehicles -trucks, mostly – were engaged in trying to rectify the situation.
It was about 6:30, and I'd been at the Gates' for an hour or so. (I find it hard to resist a dinner invitation to their abode, since they are both culinary wizards – LJ with his smoker, and Jules with her ability to whip up basically anything from a few simple ingredients.)
I glanced at my half-eaten curry chicken salad and then back to the spectacle downhill and the chicken won. After all, I thought, I'd be better off waiting for the plow to make another swing by then to head out in the current conditions.
By 8, I was anxious to get on the road. Particularly when I stepped outside to find a full six inches of heavy wet snow on my car, all of which had fallen in the brief time I'd been inside. It briefly crossed my mind that I'd be lucky to get out of the driveway at all, let alone home, but I quickly shooed away that notion.
A few moments later, as I ineffectually spun my tires trying to crest the hill, I was wishing I paid more heed to that startling bit of insight. Never one to give up easily, I tried a few more times before deciding it was time for an alternate approach.
Well, more of a retreat, actually. I figured my best bet was to back down slowly and return to the driveway from whence I came.
It didn't exactly work out as I planned. The backing down part went smoothly, but when it came time to actually turn into the Gates' drive, I found myself with zero purchase and not enough forward momentum to get the job done.
Just as I prepared to call in the cavalry (i.e. Julie & LJ to push my sorry behind back into their driveway), I noticed a set of headlights behind me. Crap, I thought, there is no way this guy is going to be able to get by me.
But, as it turns out, the driver in question wasn't approaching my car in order to berate me for blocking basically the entire roadway, but rather to offer his assistance.
I didn't recognize this knight in slush-covered armor, but he knew me.
"You're Melissa, right?" he asked, inquiring politely about my family before offering his services to help me back into the aforementioned driveway.
I had a chance to express my gratitude for his kindness, but just barely, before he drove off into the night in his four wheel drive. (Thank you, Eric!)
It still took Julie, LJ and I a few attempts (and some shoveling) in order to get my Avenger the rest of the way up the driveway. By the time she was safely parked, I decided to take them up on the offer of their couch, figuring that, depending on road conditions, I could either run home in the morning or commute to work from there.
But, of course, I didn't have to worry about that, thanks to the State of Emergency our county chairman declared. Oh, how I love a good road closure. Most days my 26-mile roundtrip commute to and from the Evening Sun newsroom is an annoyance, but yesterday it was a God send. Because I was the only ES reporter to get a full snow day as a result.
And since I was still snowed in at the Gates'- who have two Middle-school age boys, it truly was a snow day. I spent the day baking cookies, playing in the snow (of which they got 21" or so) and watching movies. All in all, definitely a good time.
Sure, there was lots of snow removal, too, but I managed to avoid the worst of it. (I think LJ's name may actually be "Fred.")
By the time I returned to my own house, around 5:30 or so, I was pretty tuckered out. I fully expected to find plenty of snow with my name on it, but to my great surprise and relief, one of our neighbors – Jim Pollard – had already done the honors with his tractor and plow. (Thank you so much, Jim!) The pops did a fair share of shoveling, too. Let's hope he's none the worse for wear because of the experience. We did get over 24″ in our neck of Smithville Center, a.k.a. Southwest Tyner.
Thank you, Mother Nature, for the lovely snow day! As for your efforts to give me a second day off in a row – by saddling me with a fever, sore throat, congestion and all the other fixings for a sick day – not so much. I'd rather pass.

Christopher Kahler is professor and chair of the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the Brown University School of Public Health. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1998 from Rutgers University and joined the Brown Medical School faculty that year.
Kahler's work focuses on the role of personality and emotion in heavy alcohol use and smoking, the causation, and treatment, of combined heavy drinking and smoking, and the role of alcohol in the treatment of HIV infection. He is currently the principal investigator on an NIAAA-funded laboratory study on alcohol administration and smoking relapse risk, an NIAAA-funded randomized clinical trial of naltrexone for at-risk and problem drinkers seeking smoking cessation treatment, and an NCI-funded treatment development project to adapt positive psychotherapy for use in smoking cessation treatment with low positive affect smokers. He is the scientific director of the NIAAA-funded Alcohol Research Center on HIV.
PBN: What causes most smoking-cessation relapses?
KAHLER: There seem to be a few common types of situations in which people relapse to smoking. First, is that some people have a hard time getting through the initial discomfort of the first 24 hours of quitting and never really get started before they go back to smoking. The second type involves situations in which people feel strong negative emotions like anger or anxiety. The third involves situations in which people are drinking alcohol, often with other people, especially people who smoke.
PBN: Alcoholics Anonymous suggests that members stop drinking entirely – is that usually good advice? Or is there a subset of problem drinkers for whom modifying their drinking is the better choice?
KAHLER: For people who have been quite dependent on alcohol giving up drinking entirely is often the safest and most attainable goal. There are people who have had problems related to drinking who are able to moderate their drinking. But, if someone has tried repeatedly to drink moderately and failed, avoiding alcohol completely is often the best goal.
PBN: How likely is it that a problem drinker, or alcoholic, also smokes cigarettes in 2014?
KAHLER: Part of this depends on how you define problem drinker or alcoholic. About 20 percent of smokers drink alcohol at levels that could be harmful to their health compared to about 7 percent of people who don't smoke. Generally, problem drinkers are twice as likely to smoke as non-drinkers or moderate drinkers.
PBN: Which is likely to kill someone who does both first, the cigarettes or the alcohol -- or is it possible to say?
KAHLER: It is not truly possible to say for any one individual. Drinking alcohol very heavily can put people in risky situations that can result in death and can put other people's lives in danger. However, in terms of non-accidental deaths, research suggests that on average alcoholics who smoke are more likely to die of smoking-related illnesses than alcohol-related illnesses. Therefore, it is very important for all people to quit smoking. Heavy drinking and smoking also can interact raising the risk of head and neck cancers 30 to 100 fold if someone does both.
PBN: How does excessive drinking affect the treatment of HIV infection?
KAHLER: Heavy drinking in people living with HIV has been associated with worse medication adherence, lower odds of successfully suppressing the virus, decreased immune function, and increased odds of liver disease, which is a leading cause of death among HIV patients. Alcohol and HIV can both affect cognitive functioning, and heavy drinking has been associated with increased engagement in risky sexual practices that can spread HIV. Therefore, alcohol has a significant impact on both the depth and breadth of the HIV epidemic.

NORRISTOWN After a burglar awakened an Upper Merion couple while snooping around in their bedroom, he sat down and chatted with them about his life before leaving the house.
Maceo Davis, 24, was convicted of criminal trespassing and loitering and prowling at night time for breaking into the couples South Gulph Road home on Aug. 11, 2008, according to court papers.
On Monday, the Philadelphia man, who spent nearly four months in prison, was sentenced to time served. He was given a total of three years probation.
Davis broke into the King of Prussia house just before dawn. As he was going through a bedside table in the bedroom, the female homeowner awoke. At first, she thought the man opening the table drawer was her husband.
He was rifling through the night stand, said Assistant District Attorney Anthony Gil, who prosecuted the case.
But the most remarkable thing was yet to come. Once the couple became aware he was an intruder and confronted him, he sat down at the foot of the bed and talked to them about himself and gained their sympathy.
The defendants actions were bizarre, Gil said. Because after breaking into the house, he had a calm, lucid conversation with the homeowners.
While sitting on the bed, Davis apologized and claimed he was in the wrong house and said his car broke down on the Schuylkill Expressway which turned out to be true.
Eventually, the husband ushered the man to the front door and the intruder left the house. It was 6 a.m. The homeowner immediately reported the intrusion to police.
The defendant had gotten into the house by removing a window screen in the kitchen and climbing in, authorities said. While doing so, his wallet became wedged in the window frame, and the homeowners discovered the mans name after finding his Pennsylvania drivers license.
Later, when shown a photo lineup, the couple positively identified Davis as the man they caught in their room.
On Aug. 12, 2008, Upper Merion police Detective Paul Bradbury interviewed Davis, and after reading him his Miranda rights, the man admitted breaking into the home to use the phone after his vehicle became disabled.
At the defendants bench trial on June 1, Gil said, the couple forgave the burglar and were concerned that he get help.

I've been in the King of Prussia area and I guess I'm not that surprised. I know I wouldn't leave a window open there that a burglar can climb through!
I live in an extreamly safe neighborhood now and I don't leave any windows open, accessable from the ground, without rod preventing them from opening more than a couple inches.

Coming into our home and sitting on the edge of the bed for a discussion would not happen...any conversation would be one-way and extremely brief.

The instant a window screen was being tampered with, my Canine Early Warning System (2 labs and a terrier) would likely have caused the perp to at least color-code his shorts. If that didn't give him pause (paws?) to reconsider, Level 2 Defense (armed, frightened, PO'd homeowner) would be enabled and a .45 would be aimed in the direction of the perceived threat. Conversation, if any, would be brief and not particularly cordial.
How stupid is that? Just because an invader seems "nice", chances are he isn't. He's just been caught in the act, and being nice might take the homeowner by surprise and give the perp and opportunity to injure or kill his victims.
If this guy were to invade my home, after the dog in my house mauled him so badly the M.E. wouldn't have much to autopsy, I might have to do a mercy killing with my S&W .357 combat magnum.

I recall a news story around 15 years ago about a burglar who broke into a number of homes in a small town. Once inside the home would wake up the sleeping residents. He then forced them to the nearest bathroom and have them brush their teeth. Once satisfied that they had done an adequate job he had them return to their bedrooms. The burglar would then leave the house the same way he came. This "dental" fetish burglar was never caught!

Stanford Acquires New Art Collections
PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) — Stanford University is getting three significant collections of American art.
The university said Thursday the collections given to the Cantor Arts Center include Andy Warhol's archive of photo contact sheets, notebook sketches by Richard Diebenkorn and works of art by Jacob Lawrence.
The Diebenkorn sketches — which span his career and have never been shown or studied — are included in 26 notebooks donated by the artist's widow. The Warhol photographs, taken from 1976 until the artist's death in 1987, document the pop artist's daily life and include of the celebrities and artists of the era.
The drawings and paintings by Lawrence, one of the leading black artists of the 20th century, were donated by supporters of the Cantor Arts Center.

Celina woman jailed after traffic incident
COLDWATER - A 45-year-old Celina woman faces multiple charges after she nearly struck a police officer involved in a traffic stop early Sunday morning.
Jodi L. Brandon, 603 Devonshire Drive, was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence and resisting arrest. She pleaded not guilty during a Monday afternoon appearance in Celina Municipal Court and was released from jail on bond pending an Aug. 23 pretrial hearing.
Coldwater Patrolman Ryan Kantner was involved in a traffic stop at 2:20 a.m. on East Main Street at Fourth Street when he spotted Brandon's approaching car. He reportedly illuminated his flashlight because the driver did not move over as required by law.
Kantner jumped onto the cruiser to avoid being hit. Patrolman Daniel Speckman, who had stopped to see whether his assistance was needed, stated Brandon's vehicle was less than a foot away when the officer jumped.
Speckman stopped the vehicle and upon approach reportedly smelled a strong odor of alcohol. Brandon failed field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest.
Brandon was taken to the Celina Police Department for a breath test, which she refused. Upon being told she would be taken to the Mercer County Adult Detention Facility, Brandon began to resist officers and she had to be physically restrained and handcuffed. Officers carried her to the cruiser because she refused to walk.
Once inside the cruiser Brandon began slapping herself in the face and told the officer she was going to file assault charges against him. Brandon claimed the arrest came about because she refused to perform sexual favors for him.
A Celina police officer witnessed her actions and followed Speckman to jail to make sure there were no further problems or accusations. Her disorderly conduct reportedly continued at the jail until she was placed in a holding cell.

I saw the Blade II and Daredevil (from the movie) on Saturday at Frank-n-Scalper's. They just might be the best 12" line ever done. One of them has 30 points of articulation (I can't remember which one) and the sculpts are unbelievable. Even the display box they come in is so awesome that I wouldn't even need to remove the figure. But you can and it can be resealed without affecting the value of the boxed figure as the whole thing is plastic so the tape can be removed without damaging the package. I shall own them all (but I won't buy from F-n-S).

Practices for teaching moral values in the early years : a call for a pedagogy of participation
Johansson, Eva, Brownlee, Joanne M., Cobb-Moore, Charlotte, Boulton-Lewis, Gillian M., Walker, Sue, & Ailwood, Joanne (2011) Practices for teaching moral values in the early years : a call for a pedagogy of participation. Education, Citizenship and Social Justice, 6(2), pp. 109-124.

Schools have long been seen as institutions for preparing children for life, both academically and as moral agents in society. In order to become capable, moral citizens, children need to be provided with opportunities to learn moral values. However, little is known about how teachers enact social and moral values programs in the classroom. The aim of this paper is to investigate the practices that Australian early years teachers describe as important for teaching moral values. To investigate early years teachers' understandings of moral pedagogy, 379 Australian teachers with experience teaching children in the early years were invited to participate in an on-line survey. This paper focuses on responses provided to an open-ended question relating to teaching practices for moral values. The responses were analysed using an interpretive methodology. The results indicate that the most prominent approaches to teaching moral values described by this group of Australian early years teachers were engaging children in moral activities. This was closely followed by teaching practices for transmitting moral values. Engaging children in building meaning and participatory learning for moral values were least often described.
