For Immediate Release
Occupy Groups Nationwide Support Occupy Pittsburgh in their Fight Against BNY Mellon
Pittsburgh - On January 10, 2012, Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Oakland, Occupy Cleveland, Occupy Philadelphia and other Occupy groups across the U.S. will take action in support of Occupy Pittsburgh in a Day of Solidarity as they go to court to defend themselves against a lawsuit from BNY Mellon.
Occupy Wall Street will demonstrate in front of One Wall Street, the New York headquarters of BNY Mellon, while other groups plan to demonstrate at BNY Mellon offices in their cities. Mellon Bank was founded in Pittsburgh in 1869 and merged with Bank of New York in 2007 to create BNY Mellon.
Occupy Pittsburgh, which has Occupied People's Park in downtown Pittsburgh since October 15, 2011, is one of the few Occupy encampments in the U.S. still in its original location. The property is claimed by BNY Mellon, although the park was built with millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies.
Despite earlier statements that they would not attempt to remove Occupy Pittsburgh, on December 9, 2011 BNY Mellon filed suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County to evict the Occupiers. So far, Occupy Pittsburgh is the only Occupy encampment where an alleged property owner has sued in Court to evict.
Occupy Pittsburgh has, in turn, evicted BNY Mellon, a criminal enterprise masquerading as a financial institution. The bank has been the target of a growing number of lawsuits in recent months that claim BNY Mellon defrauded pension funds in Florida, New York and Texas. Allegedly, BNY Mellon charged clients the highest posted rate for buying foreign securities, but would sell them on their behalf at the lowest posted rate.
The bank is also being sued by the city of Detroit's pension system for causing $1 billion in losses to firefighters, police and other workers in its pension system by keeping investments in Lehman Brothers after clear signs the company would fail. The Attorney General of New York is also suing BNY Mellon over the bank's involvement in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme.
The preliminary injunction hearing will begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, January 10 in the City-County Building in Downtown Pittsburgh. At 3:30 pm, Occupy Pittsburgh will begin demonstrating outside of the City-County Building. When Court lets out, there will be a brief Press Conference including an opportunity for Q & A with a member of the Occupy Pittsburgh legal team. Occupiers and supporters will then march from the City County Building to BNY Mellon for a demonstration followed by a rally at People's Park and a musical performance by Jasiri X.

text: I am hoping someone on here can help. Last night, I updated to 2.1. Everything was working fine last night. I put it on the multimedia dock to charge overnight and when my alarm went off this morning, the droid froze. I tried to restart with the power button and nothing happened. I pulled the battery and the phone restarted ( I could hear the tone it makes when it recognizes the SD card), but the screen went black. Since then, I have attempted multiple pulls with the same result. I am able to feel the haptic feedback when I try to unlock without seeing the screen, but I have yet to be able to get the screen back. I have also tried to power up while holding the x key and power button, but I get nothing. Can anyone help, please?

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- A region of southern Croatia bordering on western Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inhabited primarily by ethnic Serbs since the 15th century, the region opposed Croatia's secession from the former Yugoslavia and set up (1990) an autonomous Serbian state. It was retaken by Croatia in 1995, largely displacing the Serbian population.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
In the case of Bihac, you actually have a separatist group of Muslims fighting with Serbs from the Krajina, the so-called Krajina Serbs.
The Mohammedans form the mass of the population in the region called the Krajina in the north-west, in the district of Serajevo and in the south-eastern part of the territory; the Greek Schismatics preponderate in the district of Banjaluka.
Mr. Hadzic is scheduled appear Monday in court, where will be read the charges he faces, including a long list of atrocities that took place in Croatia in the early 1990s when Serbs seized almost one-third of Croatian territory known as Krajina and drove out the non-Serb population, torturing and killing many.
The European Community also declared that the borders of republics could not be changed, so that, for instance, Croatia could secede, but not the Serbs in the region called Krajina who wanted to separate from Croatia, or, for that matter, the Albanians in Kosovo who wanted to secede from Serbia.
Firstly if those fascists Raskovic, Hadzic, Seselj and others could, ve kept their mouths shut, now the so called Krajina would've been an autonomous region.
He is Goran Hadzic, former president of the so-called "Republic of Serbian Krajina" in Croatia.
Mladic Latest to Appear Before International War Crimes Tribunal
The rulings came after a three year trial investigating Operation Storm, a Croatian offensive carried out in 1995 to reclaim the republic of Krajina from Serb control.
They created their own Serb Republics, including one enclave in Krajina, where Hadzic served as president.
I asked hmm about the charge that the Croatians could not have retaken the Krajina without MPRI's prior training.
The suit, filed by the Genocide Victims of Krajina in Chicago Federal Court, against both MPRI and its parent company, L-3 Communications, alleges, that MPRI "trained and equipped the Croatian military for Operation Storm and designed the Operation Storm battle plan," which killed or displaced more than 200,000 Serbs in 1995, in the largest European land offensive since World War II.

Movie Review: Maleficent
Cary, NC – Maleficent, like Alice in Wonderland before it, is Disney's latest attempt to re-create their classic animated movies, albeit in live-action form.This film is taking the point of view of Maleficent from the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty. Along the way there are numerous references to the original movie, both visually and story wise.
Angelina Jolie in particular stands out as a perfect live-action version of the title character, wearing those iconic horns as if she's always had them.
But even with great source material and a lead actress that is relishing her chance to play one of the most recognizable villains out there, Maleficent can't quite make this re-imagining worth it.
In the original animated film, Maleficent was the big baddie of the movie. She was the one who cursed the princess to a never-ending sleep for no reason other than she's just plain evil. And it works. Like most fairy tales, the hero or heroine is the epitome of good, and the villain is the epitome of evil. Maleficent also has one of the most distinct visual trademarks of any other Disney villain with her horns, as well as one of the most diabolical laughs in all of film. Also, she can turn into a dragon. Awesome.
Turns Villain Into Hero, But Why?
Why then, does Disney decide to make this classic villain into a sympathetic and wounded hero?
The musical Wicked is another example of this, but that play was just a re-telling of The Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch's point of view. Maleficent, on the other hand, is a complete re-tooling of the fairy tale.
Here, the character of Maleficent starts as a powerful fairy protecting her magical lands from armies of men who are trying to destroy it. Eventually she meets and falls for a human boy, Stefon, and they begin a whirlwind and taboo romance. Soon though, in an act of greed, Stefon steals Maleficent's wings in a bid to become king and Maleficent vows revenge. It's a move that reduces one of the most iconic female villains into a girl desperate to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend. C'mon Disney, you're better than that.
Jolie Is Great, But Can't Save Film
As I mentioned earlier, Jolie nails it. She is absolutely PERFECT casting, and she does the best with what she's given. I just can't believe the filmmakers decided to make her the hero when Jolie excels at playing bad. The few scenes where she does get to go full villain, Jolie gives off a smile that is just so disarming and evil in the best way possible. I couldn't help but think how much more fun the movie would have been if they had let her have more fun as well.
In fact, it seems that the movie as a whole would have been more enjoyable as just a straight live action remake of the animated film. Not only do they have a perfect Maleficent in Jolie, but they actually cast a perfect Sleeping Beauty as well with Elle Fanning (Super 8, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). What a shame.
Skip It, Watch The Original Instead
In the end, the biggest complaint I have with Maleficent is that it's one giant wasted opportunity. Not a terrible movie by any means, but very middle of the road.
Jolie almost makes the trip to the theater worth it, but in the end I say save your money and watch the original instead.

Swede Hollow Continues Immigrant Tradition with a Focus on Water
From the Winter 2001-02 Waterline, the quarterly newsletter of the Minnesota Department of Health Public Water Supply Unit, Waterline, Minnesota Department of Health
Once populated with shanties in the shadows of mansions on the bluffs above, St. Pauls Swede Hollow has its roots as an immigrant community.
Edward Phelan became the first white inhabitant of the hollow in 1841, and the creek that once ran by his log cabin still bears his name. Mills and breweries were established in the ensuing decades with the fledgling industries attracting Swedish immigrants. Over time, the ethnic mix changed as Italians and then Mexican-Americans replaced earlier residents, who by this time had moved up onto the street.
Life in Swede Hollow was primitive, with no electricity nor municipal services. The inhabitants were out of sight and, for the most part, out of mind until the 1950s when city officials declared the area a health hazard and ordered the remaining families out and their homes razed.
The houses and people are gone from Swede Hollow, the valley is vacant, and the hollow itself has been transformed into a park; however, its name lives on and now refers to the high ground surrounding the former community. And it is in this area, as well as in the adjacent East Side neighborhoods, that a new immigrant population is carrying on the heritage of Swede Hollow.
The original inhabitants of Swede Hollow got their water from springs and used Phelan Creek as their sewer, leading to water and sanitation problems. The current residents of the area focus on the importance of the area as a watershed with particular attention to the Mississippi River.
A new immigrant population is now happening, says Ruth Murphy, the executive director of the Community Design Center of Minnesota, a 32-year-old non-profit corporation that helps to revitalize low-to-moderate-income communities by providing technical assistance and operating programs. Its St. Paul offices are in a wedge-shaped block, next to the Swede Hollow Café, which is adjacent to a corner lot that serves as the site of many of the center's activities as well a couple of rain gardens.
One of the rain gardens is fed from the citys storm sewer; the other gets water from the run-off of the building that houses the Community Design Center.
A childrens farmers market is held every Saturday during the summer in Swede Hollow.
Were using the East Side as the actual hands-on training ground for kids to understand their own environment and to understand the opportunity to be a steward for their own community, Murphy continues. One of the reasons we're doing this is that often we learn about the environment that's far away-a rain forest in another part of the world-but we never really understand what is happening in our own backyard and the environmental aspects and opportunities for creating a sound environment right where we live.
In using the neighborhood ecology for teaching about the environment, Murphy notes that, This community sits upon one of the great rivers of the world, and we need to know about it and appreciate how valuable it is to us in a daily way and also that we here-the children and the people who live here-have a responsibility and that they can learn how to enhance the Mississippi River instead of creating problems for the river.
Were using the river as the focal point for teaching about stewardship and ecology and food and nutrition.
Toward these ends, the Community Design Center has a Youth Enterprise in Food and Ecology program that includes childrens gardens where organic produce, flowers, and herbs are grown; a farmers market by the rain gardens outside the Swede Hollow Café each Saturday in the summer; a community-supported agriculture program in which members get a bag of produce and recipes each week; year-round teaching of environmental science; and a pair of intern programs.
One of the intern programs is for children between the ages of 10 and 13, who work four-to-six hours a week. Their activities include environmental arts projects, such as making herbal vinegar and wreathes out of dried herbs, products that they then sell. The Junior Interns take field trips in the winter to businesses and other sites to learn more about careers in food, health, and ecology. During the growing season, they help plant and maintain the rain gardens and sell produce to local restaurants in addition to operating the farmer's market and the community-supported agricultural program.
For older children is the Youth Ecology Services, Teaching Ecological Action and Mentoring (YES TEAM) program, which started this year with six students from the area. Five of the YES TEAM members are Hmong, and the other is Cambodian. The YES TEAM works 20 hours a week with the Community Design Center, providing youth with special leadership training in health, ecology, and community service. These interns also have opportunities to make connections and network with professionals in various career fields to obtain work experience and skills.
Swede Hollow and the area around it have changed in many ways over the last half-century. But, in many ways, the insights and philosophy of those who call it home are the same.
Now there is a new group of immigrants who are making the East Side their home, says Murphy, so its a very fitting program to use the Hollow and surrounding area as a focal point.

Here's the thing. I wasn't planning on going to Deeper Still in Atlanta this weekend. In fact, Mom had asked us repeatedly to go, but for some crazy reason, none of the sisters wanted to go. Fast forward to the SheSpeaks Conference, where my friends Sophie and Melanie are talking Deeper Still up like a storm. So I beg Mama to have mercy and get us tickets… though a little late. As usual, she succeeded. Duh.
And let me tell y'all. This was an amazing event. 19,000 women seeking God. Are you kidding me? It was insane. You can go to the LifeWay Blog to see updates from the front rows. (Check this out- this is what happens when you are a REALLY good blogger. Yeah, those seats are none-too-shabby, girls. Nice job.)
Which I swear I wasn't stalking them- they know I took that picture…. well, Sophie and Melanie do. I didn't check with Beth or Travis, but I'll call their cell phones later to check.
I'm gonna let you figure out whether I mean that or not.
We were there Friday night and most of the day Saturday. Each session began with a video clip about each of their lives, then worship, then teaching for each women individually. The afternoon had all three women sitting together on stage in a panel like Q&A.
The worship was amazing- the voices. Oh. My. Gracious. It was like an orchestra of beauty. I could have listened for a long LONG time.
And the teaching was unlike any I've gotten to sit under in a while. Deep. Challenging. Smart. Encouraging. Did I say CHALLENGING?!? All three of these women, Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, and Priscilla Shirer, brought fresh words that were very timely and very scriptural. And maybe a bit CHALLENGING.
Which is good, y'all.
These women. They love the Bible. I leave their sessions and, among other things, think this- I want to love the Bible like that.
And I think they would consider that a success.
There are tons of great pictures and some live blogging up on the DEEPER STILL BLOG, so you can check that out too.
Another joy to my weekend was spending time with these girls. It has somehow happened that a mere weekend together, a handful of texts, and far too many emails, has made us real friends. And I'm grateful. They are both wise women in the Lord and a few steps ahead of me in life- it is NEVER a bad choice to add to your arsenal of mentors, I say.
My Mama, Mom's friend Melissa, and my friend Kathleen, Sophie, Melanie, and myself ate lunch together outside. And Kathleen made these shut-up-how-in-the-world delicious brownies. Because she loves all things bloggish, though she refuses to blog herself, we have named these desserts Blogger Brownies. Please. If you love me at all, you will make these for yourself. If I could make them and send them, I would. But it is never wise for me to bake this amount of awesome when I'm alone in the house…. there will be nothing left to ship out. [At least I know my limits.] Enjoy!
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1 1/2 cup chopped nuts, divided
1 cup brown sugar
2 8oz packages of cream cheese, softened
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9×13″ pan. Combine cake mix, melted butter and 3/4 cups nuts. Press into bottom of dish. Combine brown sugar and cream cheese until well mixed. Spread evenly over cake mix crust; sprinkle with remaining nuts. Bake 25-30 minutes. Cool. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator.
I promise you that those brownies were the best things I ate all weekend. And now that I see that the recipe calls for 2 blocks of cream cheese, it all makes sense.
Love you.
Oh I am SO glad ya'll had so much fun!!!
i was there this weekend and came away wanting to know and love the Word more, too 🙂 i would definitely say that is success!!!!
Oh those brownies were a ministry unto themselves.
Y'all are the best!
Glad you had fun with the girls!
I am STILL eating those brownies! You should have taken them home with you.
Those brownies look fabulous and I will try and make them this weekend when I go home. I am so jealous of you with Big and Boo. I would have loved to been there. They both inspire me. I love reading your blog and the video was too cute in the car. God is so good and isn't it wonderful when we find friends that love Him too and are so fun to be with?
As far as I can tell, you've been having non-stop adventures since we met in March. Is your life always such a barrel of laughs!?
"Get thee behind me, Brownies!" (which is exactly where they'll go, believe me!)
Thanks for the report on the conference. I am pathetically resistant to things like that and it sounds like my resistance cost me a great time.
I love all the women you mentioned in your blog today!! (most especially, you and your mom) Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream!!
Okay, so they sound great, however, the picture resembles a slice of halibut that has been sauteed in butter with a macadamia nut crust. Yea, that is how we eat fish in Cali.
I sooo wish that I could have been there!! Why didn't you tell your mom that I wanted to come?
What is up with all the traveling? Everyone's going somewhere but me. I'm like the red-headed step child.
I found you through one of the famous bloggers which I can't remember now … either BooMama, Shannon, of maybe Big Mama. Anyway, have enjoyed reading for the past week or so. Nice to meet you.
Where are you off to next? I definitely need to get into the loop. Wish, oh wish, I could have gone to She Speaks … maybe next year.
Keep up the great writing.
So, you're moving to Houston when?
Those blogger brownies look devilish! Glad you had a great time!
Annie, I was just chatting with a friend about this brownie recipe I saw on a blog….and about this blogger I love to read named BooMama and how she saw inside Kay Arthur's Bible, etc. etc. etc….and this friend said that her friend Annie knows Boomama and went to Deeper Still and She Speaks and lo and behold…it's you. And Kate. And Kate and her family are here with us now celebrating the 4th with homemade peach ice cream and apple cake…that she made from scratch!!
Take care…
The "email follow up comments" box wasn't there the first time I posted!!

During this time there has been constant upgrading and it must now be considered one of the best sites in the area. There are 97 touring pitches, all with electricity (10A) and quite spacious. Well tended grass, trimmed hedging and mature trees and smart tarmac roads create a calm and well kept atmosphere. The proprietors, M. Moulin and Mme. Van Eck like to welcome their guests and are available to help during the day – they are rightly proud of their well run campsite.
Much attention is given to cleanliness – the toilet blocks are cleaned three times a day. A variety of sporting facilities are available on the site. The pool complex is heated when necessary throughout the season. There is a bar and restaurant of most modern design which, together with a mini-market, are open throughout the season. The campsite also caters for their young visitors with children's club in high season complete with an adventure playground and even an amphitheatre. There is an internet room for visitors.
Several small sanitary blocks include washbasins in cubicles and showers. The main toilet block has showers, washbasins in vanity units, a baby bathroom, 2 childrens' bathrooms and facilities for disabled visitors. Laundry. Swimming pools, paddling pool and separate children's pool. Spa with sauna, Jacuzzi, massages and beauty treatments . Tennis. Boules, Fishing. Barbecues only permitted on communal sites. River beach. WiFi throughout (charged).

The year under review has been one of change and achievement for the Library. Income has been maintained, expenditure prudently managed and the demand on reserves kept within target. Above all, the outstanding contribution of our staff and volunteers has ensured a high standard of service to users and excellent progress with our Heritage Lottery Fund Project.
Once again the support of our friends and supporters has exceeded all expectations with over £41,000 being received in donations. We are also grateful, of course, for the continuing support of Salford City Council with its annual grant of just under £40,000. Our total expenditure £91,000 did, however, mean that we had to draw on about £6,000 from our reserves. Thankfully, because of bequests we have sound reserves which, if used moderately, will support the library for many years to come.
We were all saddened by the sudden death of our co-founder Ruth Frow in January of last year. Her love of the library was well in the forefront of her thoughts when she prepared her will and we gained £33,000 from her estate. She can be assured that we will use it wisely in the best interest of her library.
Altogether a positive year that gives much encouragement for the future stability of the library.
HERITAGE LOTTERY FUND PROJECT 'The Past meets the Present'
The focus of the project is to make our collections more accessible to new audiences, particularly people in the local area.
Three Project Staff - Kate Hart, Project Archivist, Caroline Hunt, Community Learning Co-ordinator and Jane Taylor, Project Librarian - were appointed and took up post in the summer.
Kate has started cataloguing the Library's archival material, which has never been indexed in detail before. She has started with our trade union material, and has developed Web pages to encourage people to make use of it. She leads the Conservation Programme and trains volunteers.
Caroline is working with a local primary school to develop learning resources linked to Key Stage 2 using the Library's collection, and which are being made available on our Web site. She has had an initial meeting with local secondary school teachers to plan developing similar programmes for Key Stage 3.
Jane is cataloguing the Library's large pamphlet collection, has developed a thesaurus so that items can be systematically subject indexed, and is training volunteers to get bibliographic material ready to be added to the online catalogue.
The online cataloguing system, Web site and ICT network have been completely updated. The Ad Lib system, which catalogues both 'library' and 'archive' materials and is 'user-friendly', has been installed. IChameleon, a Manchester-based company, has developed a new content management system-driven Web site which was launched in January. The ICT system has also been updated with the installation of new cabling, PCs and server - all our PCs are now connected to each other via a network, and all work is backed up each evening.
The Entrance Hall and NALGO Room have been redecorated, display cases installed and exhibitions mounted with displays in the hall reflecting the diversity of the Library's collection and in the NALGO Room marking the centenary of the first payment of Old Age Pensions. These together with the Web site were launched by Tony Benn in January.
These spaces are now open to the public without appointment three afternoons a week, with a volunteer on duty to welcome visitors.
Monitoring of the project is undertaken by the Steering Committee with representatives from other library services and the Audience Development Group led by Janice Tullock, our HLF-appointed mentor.
Rolling stacks have now been installed in three of our cellar rooms, in each case doubling the shelf capacity available in the space. This has enabled us to bring together in an organised way a lot of material which was previously held in different parts of the library.
We have been pleased to loan material to the Whitworth Art Gallery, for their Walter Crane exhibition, to Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland for their show 'Rank: picturing the social order 1516-2009'.
Our copy of the Nelson Gazette (very rare - not held in British Library) has been microfilmed by Microform Academic Publishers - we have a copy which we can use instead of the original to avoid wear and tear. It will also be available on the Web (password protected).
The Library's permanent staff (Lynette Cawthra, Library Manager, and Mike Weaver, Library Assistant) continue to make a significant contribution. In addition we have been fortunate to retain the services of Alain Kahan, our past librarian on a one day a week contract during the year. We now have an outstanding staff team with the two permanent members of staff, the three project staff and our retired librarian combining to raise the quality of service the Library provides and to meet the demands of the HLF Project.
The number of volunteers has risen to 44; we have seen a number of younger volunteers keen to join us this year, as the need for an enriched cv becomes ever more important for people hoping to start out in work. We are focusing on ensuring we match their requirements with the Library's own needs.
The monthly volunteers' lunches continue to be well supported. A celebratory one was held in December with refreshments being provided by the Library to thank staff and volunteers for their work. Talks on aspects of the Library collection are given after the lunch.
Many of our long-standing volunteers have received '100 hours of volunteering' certificates from Salford Volunteer Centre.
The four new volunteers who welcome visitors on the open afternoons have been trained and 'back up' is provided by three trustees.
The number of Friends held steady when annual subscriptions were raised and have since increased to 530 individual friends and 300 trade union supporters. 'Shelf Life', the Library's newsletter for Friends continues to be produced quarterly.
Events. There have been two outstanding events since the last AGM in March 2008. The first was 'A Celebration of the Life of Ruth Frow' in April. Hundreds of friends filled Peel Hall to hear speeches, songs and poetry in memory of Ruth. The second was the launch of our new exhibition space and Web site by Tony Benn in January.
Other events were a well-attended performance of 'Fair Trade' by the Mikron Theatre Company in September and a talk on CLR James to mark Black History Month in October.
Exhibitions. A 'Movements for Peace' Exhibition with accompanying workshops was held from late November to January at Salford Museum and Art Gallery to mark the 50th anniversary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. It was opened by Kate Hudson, Chair of CND and the Mayor of Salford and was organised jointly with a small group of Friends of the Library, Salford University, North-West CND and Urbis.
Stalls. The Library has had stalls at a number of events: Salford Local History Day; Manchester Irish Conference; the NUT Easter Conference, and the Manchester Histories Festival.
Open Days. The Library was open for both days of the Heritage Open Day Weekend in September and on 24 and 25 January to mark the opening of our refurbished Entrance Hall & NALGO Room. Another open weekend is planned for April. To date over 150 visitors have attended.
Press and Publicity. Our January Open Days were afforded features in the Manchester Evening News and the Salford Advertiser. We now have a regular page in LifeTime Links, Salford Museum and Art Gallery's quarterly newsletter. The Library's collections featured in Cambridge University Libraries' Information Bulletin in autumn 2008.
The Trustees wish to record their gratitude to our staff, volunteers, friends and other supporters.

Emi did dance for the first time this year and she absolutely loved it. She took at Moxie Dance and her dance teacher Chricia is freakin amazing. These are pictures of her first dance recital before and after. Her Grandma Kathy, Aunt Kayti, and cousins Kendall and Kaliray came to support. They gave her the pretty flowers and beanie-bear. Emi's class is a beginning dance and tap class. They did the cutest dance ever to Elmo splish-splash, and a tap number to the Muffin Man. I have a video and when I figure out how to upload it I'll put it on. It was adorable. Kurt who had said that this is the first and last year Emi would take dance 'cause it's a waste of money...changed his mind during this recital and said "Well, she should do what she loves to do...right?" Haha so I'm thinking she'll get to take again next year.

It just maybe might be time for an UPDATE...
Wow! I really wish I was better at this blogging thing. I think I'll make a goal to post once a week, ummm...that might be too ambitious but its better to shoot for the stars and land in the trees than shoot for the trees and land in the mud right? We've had a pretty exciting year. I'm not going to do a complete run-through but maybe I'll hit some high-lights. As most know (from my last post..haha) we had Weston December 4th of 2010, when he was 7months old...Surprise we found out we were pregnant again. After it taking us almost two years to get pregnant with Weston, it was a good surprise to have it happen so quickly and without trying, but unexpected and challenging as well. Being pregnant while taking care of a baby is a little tiring to say the least. Pregnancy went well, no major problems or complications. The only concern throughout the pregnancy was the baby's size. 'Cause I likes to grow them big. (: As it got closer to my due date my doctor informed me of his concerns and suggested doing a c-section. With Weston being 9lbs 4oz and having a shoulder distotia he was concerned about it happening again with not as favorable an outcome. So on Monday April 23rd I went in for my visit, baby was measuring 9lb 7oz. He told me its not a 100% accurate and baby's actual size could be anywhere from 8lb 7oz to 10lb 7oz. Kurt and I prayed a lot about it and decided that we didn't want to take any chances so we'd do a c-section wich was planned for April 27th. Tuesday April 24th my water broke and we headed up to McKay to have our little guy. He was born at 1:59pm via c-section...9lbs even and 21 1/2 inches long. During surgery I had the most calming feeling telling me that everything would be fine, and when my baby came out screaming and squirming it was the most amazing thing in the world. A strong contrast to Weston when he was born. We named our little guy Austin Daks Warner, middle name is an acronym for all our parents names (hence the different spelling). One of the blessing that we received is that the day we had Austin they lifted the no sibling rule so Weston and Emilee were both able to come meet him. The c-section wasn't hard at all, its the 6weeks recovery with no lifting anymore than your baby that has been killing me. Its so hard not being able to pick up Weston and hold him like I use to. Other updates....Weston had his first birthday, and is currently 18months old. He is such a big helper, he throws away his own diapers (along with anything else he sees fit). When its bath time he takes off his clothes and puts them in the hamper. And when its nap time he takes my hand walks with me to his room and climbs into his crib. It's like he's realized I can't do what I used to and he's trying to make it easier. Emilee turned 5 this year and will be starting kindergarten in the Fall...full day, Wow! not sure if I'm ready for that. She has seriously been so helpful with her little brothers and I just love having her around. My hubby Kurt will be graduating with his bachelors in accounting May 24th...so excited for him to be done!!! He's worked so hard. As for me I'm adjusting to life as a mom of 3. There is never a dull moment but each of them is so special and full of so much personality. I've been blessed with amazing friends and family that have helped so much while I've been recovering. Ok, now that I've rambled on and on here are a few pictures for you...

We Had a Boy!
Wow...its been a bit since I posted. We had our little boy on December 4th. He weighed 9lb 4oz and was 21 inches long. We named him Weston Kurtis Warner and we love him so much! Here's a brief update of the last few months.
My labor was pretty good, but my delivery was the absolute worst. There are a lot of details I'm not going to go into but the jest of it is that he got stuck at his shoulders with the cord wrapped around his neck. The nurses pushed down on my stomache with their arms to get him out. When he cam out his face was the color of a blueberry...and he wasn't breathing, it took them 13minutes to get him breathing on his own. The longest 13minutes of my life..We are so lucky he's here with us, we love him so much and are thankful everyday for those wonderful nurses and doctors that helped us.
Now for the pictures and updates...
While in labor...man an epidural sure makes labor nice. This is when things were still going pretty good.
This is what I saw when he first came out. Scared me to death...I just sat there bawling.
This was when we all breathed a sigh of relief, he started to cry...the best sound in the world.
The wonderful nurses and doctors that helped him to start breath on his own.
This is us at the hospital about an hour or two after delivery.
While I was having the baby Emilee fell out in the waiting room, cracked her chin open and was in the ER getting stitches...She was so proud. However I was told it took 6 people and her being wrapped in a pillowcase to get them put in and she still tore two out in the process. Now the ER knows the stubborness I deal with on a daily basis. ha ha
Weston had Jaundice pretty bad and had to be under the lights for about a week.
Merry Christmas!
My little brother Jase proposed on Christmas Eve. Him and Kelsi are getting married March 18th...Yay!
Happy New Years!

We blessed Weston February 6th, on the same day as his cousin KaliRay. Lots of friends and family came to support.
Just one more picture of our adorable little guy...

When you have a true expansion side coming to play a veteran MLS side all season long, normally you can take them out and earn the full three points with ease. If you mean that it's easy to defeat NYCFC, then you are correct.
This time though Orlando City who is also an expansion side, but can play rough and tough can find holes in your back line and take advantage of it. That's what happened tonight as the Red Bulls got caught on the counter many times and also gave a self inflicted wound with their first own goal of the season as they lost 5-2.
The Canadian International Cyle Larin converted a hat trick off the Red Bulls as he scored a header from a Kaka corner and two more off two counters that beat Luis Robles cleanly and showed why he is the #1 pick in this years past Super Draft coming from UConn.
The other two goals for Larin as he scored in the 43rd minute on a great cross by Luis Rivas from the far side of the field and when it came to Larin's feet, he blasted a hard shot past Robles to regain the one goal lead and in the second half after Lloyd Sam pulled a second goal back it was another counter by Orlando that put Larin in great position to convert his 2nd hat trick against NYC area MLS sides.
He took down NYCFC and now the Red Bulls as the Canadian International has found ways to beat these sides and probably feels right at home as he attended college in Connecticut. But as the backline of the Red Bulls was getting shredded, you saw Matt Miazga get a yellow card early in the game for a tough challenge and then a tug on the shirt during the back end of the match where he will miss games not just for Olympic Qualifying, but also a two match ban for yellow card accumulation as well as getting sent off in the 77th minute.
But Miazga will not be the only one missing games as Jesse Marsch was sent off in the 57th minute for arguing calls by Referee Jorge Gonzalez. To be honest it didn't look like the conversation was escalated at all, but Gonzalez had enough and decided to give Marsch his walking papers. If it was like the last time Marsch was sent off in a match I would assume that Denis Hamlet will take over the coaching duties for their next home game against the Columbus Crew.
"Yes. They did well to get out of tight spots in different moments, credit to them I thought Orlando played very well tonight." Said Marsch, "We were a little bit late shifting and defending the ball on them and we might have over commit. On a night like this everything that could go wrong did. I promise you this, this team won't be fazed by this. It's a kick in the teeth and we will regroup."
The way that this side has regrouped after bad losses, I believe that Marsch will have them ready to go and with the Columbus Crew coming to town next week, the Red Bulls should be ready to take on that challenge and continuing to try to remain at the top of the east.

"I joined Audiology Consultants when I was fresh out of college and Judy, my mother, needed someone to do her insurance billing and accounting. It was supposed to be temporary until I found another job, but two years later, I was still there and began to realize I enjoyed what I was doing. Judy then asked me if I wanted to start learning about dispensing. After thinking it over, I decided that I would.
Now I have been with the practice (which transitioned to "Hearing Aid Consultants of CNY" in 2017) for the past 10 years and don't regret a second of it! I'm thankful I had such a great teacher because I find much joy in my job. I love seeing that what I'm doing is making a difference in people's lives. My favorite part of my job is building that relationship with my patients. I like to hear people's life stories and share mine with them. I also love making sure they can hear other people while continuing their life journey. When you see what a difference we can achieve together, it gives you goosebumps! That's why I am passionate about hearing healthcare.
My goals for the future of the practice are to make sure I increase the size of my professional family. I would like to make sure everyone in central New York can hear their loved ones, and enjoys being able to hear again. I also want to take care of my employees because I couldn't do it without them. I want to make sure they achieve there personal, professional, and financial goals."

In total, it's likely that, over the past decade, at least forty times as many people have died directly or indirectly from violent conflict in central Africa as have died in the Middle East. With forty times the violent death toll, you'd expect to hear a bit more about conflicts in central Africa - instead, Congo, Uganda and Sudan rank #1, #2, and #3 on Alertnet's list of "forgotten emergencies." . . .I mourn the deaths of everyone killed on both sides of the current conflict in the Middle East and I pray for a speedy end to the conflict, followed by negotiations that lead to progress, not a resumption of conflict. But I also pray that elections go smoothly in Congo, that they augur progress towards stability… and that somebody outside of Africa notices. Far be it from me to suggest that anyone stop reading the newspaper. Let me suggest an experiment instead:A post well worth reading in total. With that let me point to an excellent Christian Science Monitor series Ethan blogged previously about Africa's peacemakers.
When you read a story on the Israel/Lebanon conflict, assign yourself some homework: a story on the ongoing conflicts in northern Uganda, DRC or Sudan. You won't find many on Google News - you'll need to lean on AllAfrica.com or Global Voices. If you find yourself interested in the role of minerals in the DRC - critical to understanding the situation, IMHO - I recommend Global Witness's reports on the region. You'll likely find the news confusing, complicated, incomplete and unhelpful in forming your opinions about how Central Africa can move towards a peaceful future. And that, oddly enough, is a useful first step.
I saw the critic screening last night, and I have to say that the movie is a tapestry of missed opportunities. I was prepared to hate it, but the first half had such amazing moments that I ended up enjoying myself...until the second half, where it veered into the abyss and kicked my soul in the groin.Wow, that's an intense mixed metaphor. So intense that when I shared it with editor Nancy Einhart, she said that while she had had no plans to see the movie, she was now kind of curious just to see what the hell that guy was talking about. In email discussion it has been permuted from "kicked my soul in the groin" to "kick my soul's groin" to "a soul-kick to the groin," with a slight detour to "kicked my groin in the soul."

A lookup table in Wikipedia's words:
In computer science, a lookup table is a data structure, usually an array or associative array, often used to replace a runtime computation with a simpler array indexing operation.
It used to be used extensively when cpu were short of power, but it's still useful nowadays to squeeze performance for heavily used pieces of code.
The usual structure behind lookup tables is a tightly packed array, which is not necessarily a very haskelly structure.
Another thing you're looking for with lookup table is, a limited values that the indexes can take. Either through the type directly (for example Word8) or through a fast mathematic operations (for example mod). You can't resonably create lookup tables over a Word32 type for example.
First we need something that we want to convert to lookup table. So as an example, i'll take the simple function that converts an hexadecimal Character to an Int.
The following piece of code represent this convertion, expressed naively:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Secondly let's put in place some benchmarks using Criterion. The naive piece of code is going to be the reference implementation, and the benchmarks are going to be executed with differents levels of optimisations (no, O, and O2)
The Benchmark itself is using Char for conveniency, where it should use Word8 to be accurate and safe. Some of the code below would be unsafe to run if run with the Char type and not having any validation function in front, or a casting to a Word8.
This is the benchmark:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
It yields the following result for the naive implemetation:
|mean: 17.29674 ms, lb 17.16636 ms, ub 17.47595 ms
|mean: 1.595945 ms, lb 1.569064 ms, ub 1.628741 ms
|mean: 1.470591 ms, lb 1.452113 ms, ub 1.495270 ms
Ok, now let's try improving this number. First we're going to try to mimics more low level language by using an array through the Vector
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
It gives:
|mean: 9.199355 ms, lb 9.072765 ms, ub 9.364172 ms
|mean: 1.337789 ms, lb 1.319601 ms, ub 1.362063 ms
|mean: 1.398385 ms, lb 1.383462 ms, ub 1.423932 ms
This is a bit disappointing, you would expect slighly better performance here, but since we know we are doing safe indexing we can replace the indexing operator (!) by the unsafeIndex operation. doing so lead to:
|mean: 7.738883 ms, lb 7.665292 ms, ub 7.845997 ms
|mean: 972.9515 us, lb 959.3614 us, ub 991.1686 us
|mean: 517.0818 us, lb 510.2732 us, ub 526.1961 us
We're back in business, but one thing that you could notice while looking at core (or the assembly), is that the list is stored as a list, and thus the vector is created at runtime. I'm not sure if there's any way to do better through the vector interface to create more efficently the table.
Instead of taking a lowlevel approch, maybe a high level approch will do better. Pattern matching is one of the very nice feature of advanced languages like OCaml and Haskell, and it usually have good performance result.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
This is really simple and give really good result. This is somewhat surprising and also show the amount of optimisation GHC is putting in the pattern match.
|mean: 3.389348 ms, lb 3.333397 ms, ub 3.475168 ms
|mean: 909.5452 us, lb 894.9783 us, ub 928.9299 us
|mean: 834.9938 us, lb 820.8469 us, ub 854.5966 us
with no, and default O optimisation, it beats the vector-unsafe interface.
As a note of warning: the pattern matching approch works very well when the number of case stays low, however when there's too many cases, the compilation slow down massively and the runtime slow down too.
The high level approch works quite well, however it really feel that something more could be done:
- Pattern matches performance degenerates if the number of cases increases.
- Vectors are not generated at compile time.
We can try to leverage the OverloadedStrings extension, to create an array of bytes through the ByteString interface.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
It yields:
|mean: 8.543990 ms, lb 8.434344 ms, ub 8.708120 ms
|mean: 1.090147 ms, lb 1.076412 ms, ub 1.110581 ms
|mean: 1.091043 ms, lb 1.077365 ms, ub 1.111452 ms
The test is also repeated replacing the index by an unsafeIndex:
|mean: 8.270395 ms, lb 8.186708 ms, ub 8.399394 ms
|mean: 856.9175 us, lb 841.1300 us, ub 879.6006 us
|mean: 505.5361 us, lb 498.7377 us, ub 514.6283 us
While the vector and bytestring should in theory yield the same performance since they're both arrays, the bytestring get a slight boost for O and O2. This might be due only to the overloadedStrings extension which allow compilation times representation of the packed array.
Magic Hash
MagicHash is the name of the GHC extension to be able to use GHC primitives directly. The primitive approch, is building on top of the bytestring approch. The only major difference is the usage of a raw Addr#, which represent an address in memory (just like a void * in C), instead of the more classical ByteString.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
It yields the most impressive performance so far:
|mean: 5.318712 ms, lb 5.255720 ms, ub 5.410266 ms
|mean: 725.3248 us, lb 712.3446 us, ub 748.3496 us
|mean: 502.6127 us, lb 495.5847 us, ub 512.6601 us
While it doesn't beat the pattern matching without optimisation (which is odd), it's consistantly the fastest for O (default optimisation level with cabal) and O2.

Wrapping up
The lookup table are at the time of writing far best represented through the primitives, but unfortunately it does comes at the expense of portability to different haskell compiler, and also doesn't necessarily feels like very nice haskell code.
As such it should probably be reserved to cases where you really need to squeeze the last drop of performance and where the lookup is key to differenciate between a slow and fast piece of code.
As relatively close 2nd, the bytestring and vector interface are both good candidates as long as the unsafeIndex function is used. unsafe indexing is perfectly safe in static cases where you know what's your input range.
Pattern matching is quite interesting, since it's not really in the same category as the others, but yet manage to offer really good performance. With pattern matching you can also more easily covers a sparse range of input, which is harder and more time consuming to do with typical lookup tables.
In any case, the most important thing is: benchmarks ! Do not blindly optimise simple functions; the big performance picture is the most important place where you should start.
You can find some real world usage of primitive lookup tables:
- Cryptocipher's AES
- base16-bytestring (and the pull request containing the performance improvement report)

text: Plants as well as humans have evolved circadian clocks that generate self-sustained daily rhythms, enabling them to adapt to daily fluctuations in their environment — fluctuations in light and temperature, for example. Indeed, studies have shown that plants with an internal-clock cycle in synch with the daily changes in their environment maintain a competitive advantage over plants with no such timekeeping mechanism.The plant hormone auxin has been linked to a number of aspects of plant growth and development — most notably, growth toward light and away from gravity. In the August issue of PLoS Biology, Michael F. Covington and Stacey L. Harmer of the University of California, Davis, reported a study in which they explored whether the circadian clock is involved in the auxin signaling pathway —that is, whether it controls plant transcriptional responses to auxin.To achieve this, they needed an auxin-sensitive reporter gene with activity that they could follow on a circadian (daily) time scale. They made transgenic plants expressing firefly luciferase under the control of a synthetic auxin-responsive promoter to demonstrate that the transcriptional responses are regulated by the circadian clock — explaining decades-old observations that sensitivity to the hormone varies over the course of the day.They encountered some obstacles during the study, initially observing that various plant tissues exhibited different regulation of auxin signaling. They addressed this challenge by focusing on a particular plant tissue. In a follow-up study, though, they investigated the responses of a range of plant tissues to auxin treatment — to this end using the XR/MEGA-10Z ICCD camera manufactured by Stanford Photonics Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif.Researchers are investigating the responses of various plant tissues to treatment with the plant hormone auxin by using an ICCD camera that enables low-light detection and imaging with high sensitivity. These photos, acquired with the camera, show that the various promoters drive luciferase activity in differing parts of the plant. The researchers used transgenic plants expressing firefly luciferase to study the role of the circadian clock in the auxin signaling pathway.This product was designed to provide single-photon imaging with low background levels. It has dark counts of fewer than 50/s for a 1400 x 1000, 10-μm-pixel array. It has a high-quantum-efficiency Peltier-cooled GaAsP photocathode that is used with a special microchannel plate design and a fiber-coupled interline transfer CCD to produce images at frame rates that are as high as 30 to 1000/s with virtually no dark counts. Proprietary software allows the camera to provide "photon accumulation imaging" — a summation of selectable image frames containing sparse single-photon data into gray-scale images that represent minutes', hours', days' and even weeks' worth of time-lapse, low-light images that have been the goal of the Davis group and others studying circadian rhythms in plant and animal studies.Mike Buchin, president and owner of Stanford Photonics, recalls that the camera actually has its roots in two worlds that don't often overlap — the military and the life sciences. In the early 1990s, the company built a number of GaAsP-based ICCD cameras for the US Navy as part of its ongoing night-vision business. Through this program, the company gained exclusive access to the technology for scientific imaging, and a small number of key research centers in the US were able to dramatically improve their live-cell and single-molecule imaging capabilities via GaAsP ICCDs. Unfortunately, the company that was making the tubes was purchased, and the product was mothballed. Throughout the 1990s, Stanford Photonics continued to port advanced military night-vision technologies into biological imaging applications. Ultimately, the company was able to find a supplier that was willing to resurrect the GaAsP material. Harmer said that the camera's high sensitivity and low noise made it extremely well-suited for detecting the very low light levels emitted by the transgenic plants they had produced. "The remarkable sensitivity of this camera has allowed us to define the kinetics of auxin responses in different tissues in a way that wasn't possible using our other CCD cameras," she said. "Our exposure times are ten times faster than what we have to use for our other cameras."Investigation of the tissue specificity of clock regulation of auxin signaling is ongoing. The researchers are exploring whether clock regulation of plant responses to gravity varies according to tissues, for example. Also, until now, the clock has seemed to run in the same manner in different organs — in leaves versus roots, and so on. However, the recently acquired data suggest that the connection between the clock and auxin pathways is in fact wired differently among the organs. They plan to examine this question further by looking at the tissue-specific temporal expression of central clock genes compared with various clock outputs.Finally, Harmer said, "We have evidence that the clock regulation of auxin transcriptional responses changes during organ development, and we are going to use [the camera] to define when and in what cells this transition takes place. Then we can start to dissect where the auxin and clock signaling pathways intersect and how this changes over developmental time."Contact: Stacey L.

Two of Scotland's publicly backed innovation centres have issued a joint call for projects to help tackle cyber security issues.
The Data Lab and Censis – the innovation centre for sensor and imaging systems – will offer financial and other support to projects involving digital technologies, software development and data science.
READ MORE: Scotland 'ideally placed' to become global data hub
To qualify for backing, the initiatives must involve a collaboration between industry, public sector or an academic partner, with the aim of delivering a "clear economic and social benefit to Scotland". Applications close on 1 February.
Gillian Docherty, chief executive of the Data Lab, said: "Advancements in data science, digital industries and the growth of the 'internet of things' have all heralded a technological revolution but we must remember that with these incredible advancements comes increased possibility of cyber threats.
"In order to tackle what is a highly sophisticated threat to Scotland and beyond, we must invest in highly sophisticated technologies. To do this, we must continue to challenge, invest and support cutting edge ideas and projects to help identify these threats before they even happen."

Cyber attacks are considered a "tier one" threat to national security and innovation centres aim to support projects involving intrusion detection and using data science to monitor networks, as well as technologies that can be applied to public and private sector businesses.
Martin Beaton, cyber security network integrator at the Scottish Informatics & Computer Science Alliance, said: "The information security industry is estimated to grow by £70 billion in the next three years worldwide, yet due to the rate of evolution of the arms race between attackers and defenders, many of the technologies for that market are yet to be invented.
"Scotland needs to innovate to take advantage of this massive market and data science will underpin many of the new products which is why it is fantastic that the Data Lab and Censis are running this call bringing together fundamental science and industry."
