This is only the very first article in a series of articles about the PDA - focussing on both PalmOS and Windows Mobile, the two most successful PDA operating systems. My thesis is that iOS, Android, and other smartphone operating systems today are standing on the shoulders of these two giants - two giants which today have almost been entirely forgotten. I refuse to accept that.
PalmOS - probably loved more now than back when it was current. Limited, crash-prone, and unstable, but at the same time endearing, cute; kind of like a little puppy that isn't housetrained yet. Windows Mobile - probably gets a lot more hate than it deserves. Inconsistent, confusing, and badly in need of a built-in task manager, but at the same time, extremely versatile, powerful; kind of like a toddler on coffee with too many toys, surrounded by sharp table corners.
One PDA staple you're missing here is the Apple Newton. The reasons for this are simple. First, I don't own a Newton and have no idea how to buy one without handing over a kidney. Second, unlike PalmOS and Windows Mobile, the Newton didn't actually sell very well. Third, unlike some people want you to believe, the Newton was not the first PDA, not the first pen input device, and not the first device with handwriting recognition. In other words, it's not special because it was a 'first'. However, If I do manage to get my hands on a Newton, it will most definitely be included in this series - that thing fascinates me to no end.
So, why am I announcing this series? Simple - I want to know about your experiences with these platforms. The applications you used, the hacks you performed, interesting anecdotes, memories of coding for these platforms, and so on. Maybe you worked at Palm or Microsoft on these platforms, maybe you know people who did, you name it. What are applications I absolutely must try? What hacks must I perform? Any advice? Tips?
The timeframe for this series is a little odd, since I'm currently in the home stretch of my master's thesis, meaning my time over the coming weeks is limited. This means the first article in this series probably won't hit until September.
My collection
Now, just to get my geek on, I'll detail my collection, from left to right, top to bottom.
Palm T|X
This is one of the three devices I added to my collection over the past few weeks, solely for the purposes of this little endeavour. I specifically wanted this model because the T|X is PalmOS's Swan Song. It's Palm's last actual PDA, since the company focussed on its Treo smartphones after the T|X.
This thing is fully operational.
- Palm OS Garnet, 5.4.9
- 312 MHz Intel XScale PXA 270
- 128MB Flash memory, 100MB user-accessible
- 3.9" 480x320, 16 bit
- WiFi (802.11b)
- Bluetooth/IrDA
- SD card slot
- Launch date: November 2005
HP iPaq Pocket PC h2215
This is my most beloved model - and when you see it in real-life, you'll understand why: this thing has been worn and torn to the bone. I have used this device quite a lot, for just about anything you can imagine. The thing looks hideous, and build quality wasn't particularly good, but the amount of sheer processing power it delivered... Amazing. I was streaming Futurama episodes from my server to this thing over SAMBA, while copying some more episodes to an SD card in the background.
This one isn't fully functional anymore, as the battery lid used to have a tiny pin pressing down on a button that told the device the lid was closed. Without it, it won't boot. Of course, this is easy enough to fix. I am very interested in seeing what is still on this one.
- Windows Mobile 2003 (I believe I updated it to Windows Mobile 5)
- 400 MHz Intel XScale
- 32MB ROM for the operating system
- 64MB memoy, 56MB user-accessible
- 3.5" 320x240, 16 bit
- Bluetooth
- CF/SD card slot
Sharp Zaurus SL-5500
The Zaurus has a special place in my heart. It's a true geek's machine, runs an embedded Linux operating system, and looks positively gorgeous. I'm kidding, the thing is hideous, but in an awesome, geeky everything-and-the-kitchen-sink kind of way. It has a keyboard hidden behind a slider, has full command line access, has a development environment based on Qt and Java (huh.), and the Zaurus PDAs being fully open source, it was extended like crazy - including the ability to pull .deb packages from the web with its package manager, using a CF wireless card (huh.). The Zaurus line of PDAs was far ahead of its time - and an omen for the Linux-dominated smartphone world we live in today.
It's fully functional.
- Embedix embedded Linux 2.4.x with Qt, Java, and Qtopia (currently runs OpenZaurus with OPIE)
- 206MHz Intel SA-1110 StrongARM
- 16MB Flash
- 3.5" 320x240, 16 bit
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- IrDA
- CF/SD card slot
- Launch date: May 2002
HP iPaq hx2110
This is also one of the three devices I added to my collection over the past few weeks - in fact, my brother gave it to me yesterday (he had no use for it any longer). Since the other iPaq mentioned earlier is pretty much done for, I'm quite happy with this one to play around with.
It's fully functional. In fact, it almost feels brand-new.
- Windows Mobile 2003 SE (my brother installed an unofficial Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic ROM onto it; I'm going to put a 6.5 ROM on it)
- 312 MHz Intel PXA270
- 3.5" 320x240, 16 bit
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- Bluetooth/IrDA
- CF/SD card slot
- Launch date: autumn 2004
Sony Clié 'Tess' PEG-SL10/U
This is the third and final of my latest acquisitions. It's an old PalmOS-based Sony Clié, nicknamed Tess because none other than Tess - from the OSNews podcast - gave it to me for the purposes of this series of articles. It's the only PDA with a monochrome display in my humble collection, and that's enough reason to like it. It's fascinating to use a Sony PDA running PalmOS.
It's fully functional.
- PalmOS 4.1
- 33Mhz Freescale Dragonball VZ processor (based on a 68000 core)
- 8MB RAM (7MB user-accessible)
- 3.5" 320x320 16 grayscale monochrome display (with a backlight I don't know how to turn on yet)
- Powered by two AAA batteries
- IrDA
- Sony Memory Stick slot
- Launch date: autumn 2002
Palm Tungsten E2
By far the prettiest of the bunch, with its full metal casing and remarkably sturdy design. What wasn't very sturdy, sadly, was the battery, which is broken. It only works when plugged in. I've used the E2 quite extensively alongside the iPaq h2215 back in the day, and apart from the HTC Artemis below, it's the only PDA I actually bought myself new (the others are all gifts from Eugenia, Tess, and my brother; or, in case of the T|X, bought used).
It's partially functional; the battery is dead.
- Palm OS Garnet, 5.4.7
- 200 MHz Intel XScale PXA 270
- 32MB memory (29MB user-accessible)
- 320x320, 16 bit
- Bluetooth
- SD card slot
- Launch date: April 2005
HTC Artemis
A weird entrant into this group, since it's not actually a PDA, but a smartphone. The HTC Artemis was my cell phone of choice for a while, and while flipping out that damn stylus on the go was annoying, it was still an incredibly capable smartphone with access to all of Windows Mobile's applications. I booted it up today for the first time in three years, and it reminded me I needed to go to work tomorrow. I stopped working there 2.5 years ago.
It's fully functional.
- Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition (that's its full name)
- 201 MHz TI OMAP850
- 128Mb ROM
- 320x240, 16 bit
- Bluetooth
- GPS, GPRS EDGE, quad-band GSM
- WiFi (IEEE 802.11b/g)
- micro-SD card slot
- Launch date: October 2006

Orange County Personal Injury Attorney
A permanent injury destroys what you once had and now makes everyday life harder if not impossible. It prevents participation in activities you once enjoyed. When an accident is catastrophic, the costs of care are staggering. Your income and life vanishes. These horrendous events will often cause anxieties and emotional distress which can lead to severe depression. Post-traumatic stress is a frequent by-product of massive injuries. Such conditions require the help of highly trained professionals to obtain the assistance and care needed to regain control over your life.
Orange County personal injury attorney Del Hovden fights for every available dollar of compensation to cover the needs for the years ahead. We have secured multimillion- dollar results for clients who suffered devastating accidents or medical injuries:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury (paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia)
- Loss of limb (amputation)
- Disabling back injury (herniated disc)
- Hip fractures, broken femur or broken pelvis
- Other broken bones
- Severe burn injury
- Eye injury
- Organ damage
- Serious abrasions (road rash)
See more examples of notable verdicts and settlements for serious personal injury cases.
When the insurance company settles or the jury verdict comes in, you must be confident that your attorneys have presented claims in the manner that will provide you with the very best recovery. The money has to last a lifetime and cover a wide range of immediate and future needs. When appropriate, we utilize the skills of many professionals to anticipate these expenses, which can include: projected lost earnings, numerous surgeries and continuous physical rehab, long term special nursing care, intensive vocational rehabilitation, widespread home modifications, expensive medical equipment (like disability-equipped vans, wheelchairs or walkers), high cost medications and everything else.
We create day-in-the-life presentations to bring home the reality of a serious injury to a jury or insurance company. We hire the best experts to make the strongest case possible. Moss Hovden advances these costs, and we only recover the investment if we secure compensation for you.
Meanwhile, we also have to prove the underlying case for negligence. Trial Orange County lawyer Del Hovden brings decades of experience in personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. He has battled insurance companies and major corporations in every type of case from aviation accidents and defective products to slip-and-falls and animal attacks.
Our entire legal team is committed to helping our clients through this very difficult process, starting from the beginning and seeing it through.
There are several examples that tell you a lot about these attorneys and their staff: When a client needed to see a cross-town specialist who specialized in a disease that affects those who have suffered a crushed limb, Mr. Hovden found the top expert in Southern California, consulted with the expert, set up an appointment for the client, and personally drove him there and back.
When a woman who had been left with quadriplegia from her accident had to see a neurologist, our Orange County attorney took her there and literally carried her in to the appointment.
At Moss Hovden, we take our responsibilities to our clients very seriously. Please contact us today at 877-959-6606 for a free initial consultation. We can meet family members for daytime, after hours or weekend appointments. When needed, we visit Orange County personal injury victims in the hospital or at home.
Call us right away.

I think everybody knows that if you win here in Chicago, it'll be like nowhere else in the United States.We're excited here, and hopefully we can get this thing done. I'm hoping I can be a piece of the puzzle to do something special here.
Last year was a little bittersweet because you bust your butt for three years for a manager,you give it your all and don't complain,and you contribute so much in the regular season,then to have it taken away in the postseason (1) ... But managers are going to make their decisions.You really can't question them or change them because they're going to do what they want anyway. You have to go out there and work hard and be thankful for what you have.
My mom works for the Board of Education for New York City.She has a teaching degree and started off in that field. My dad owns his own check-cashing business in Brooklyn. They both preached hard work. They're both blue-collar-type people. They wake up every morning and go to work, and they provided a great life for me and my sister.
Never was a house kid, a computer kid or a video-game guy. I was always up at 8 in the morning, running around, trying to get as many kids out as I could.
We finished third in the world and second in the United States. (2) We lost to California on ESPN in the U.S. final. Then we beat Canada on ESPN in the third-place game. I threw a no-hitter that game, which was a huge accomplishment. It's something that at that time you compare to playing on the big stage of the World Series. It's still one of the finest memories in my life. Playing in front of that many people at that time in my life made me realize this is what I wanted to do with my life, and I was going to work my hardest to get it.
For my bar mitzvah,it was a baseball theme. My parents surprised me with a replica scoreboard of the game line from the Little League World Series when we played Canada and I threw the no-hitter.
The scoreboard had to be a good 15 or 20 feet wide by 15 feet tall. We kept it for a while, but it got too big for the house.
Don Mattingly was my favorite player growing up. You look back now and hear positive things about him. I had a chance to meet him. A first-class guy.
The day of the draft, we had a high school playoff game that I was pitching, so my mother stayed home to wait for the phone call and then showed up to the game in the second inning. Obviously, being on the mound and not knowing wouldn't be too good. So they relayed the message, (3) and I was excited. I don't remember the exact numbers,but we won the game because we ended up winning the city championship that year in Yankee Stadium.
Getting that first call (4) and running out to the mound,I promise you I didn?t feel my legs at all.I got to the mound, and it happened to be a night game, and that was really the first time you're playing under the lights that high, and it felt like you were in the spotlight.
He's probably the smartest baseball player I've ever met .(5) Really simplifies things.
It's really tough to teach what he has. It's a talent he was blessed with. But being that he could relay the message in easy, simple terms made it easy for a lot of guys to learn from him.
I have a John Burkett jersey.I learned a lot from him. He took me under his wing. A guy like Woody Williams, same type of guy. That's more important to me than a Barry Bonds ball. I've spoken maybe 10 words to him in my life. The other two mean more to me because of the impact they had on my career and where I am and where I'm going to go.
I'm married,have two kids. My daughter's 3, and my son is 1, and I'd have to say that's probably my biggest accomplishment to this point -- just watching your kids smile at you every day and knowing you have an impact on their lives, and hopefully I can raise them the way my parents raised me.
1: When the Cardinals left Marquis off the playoff roster and went on to win the World Series.
2: In the 1991 Little League World Series.
3:That he had been drafted by Atlanta in the first round in 1996.
4: When he made his major-league debut for the Braves against the Blue Jays in 2000.
5:Former Cubs and Braves pitcher Greg Maddux.

(plural bolt circles)
- (engineering) A theoretical circle on which the centerpoints of bolt holes lie when the bolt holes are positioned as equally spaced in a circle. Common examples are the bolt circle for the lugs on a car's wheel, or the bolts on a bolted joint between pipe flanges. Often abbreviated "BC" or "B.C." on engineering drawings. Often treated as a basic dimension, when true position for the centers is specified using GD&T.

|NewsUSA) – You often hear the term "green building" as homebuyers seek to purchase homes that are built using recycled materials or that use less energy.
Recycling and energy-efficiency are important goals, but they must be pursued in a way that preserves your home's ability to manage and repel moisture. Energy-efficient homes often trap unwanted moisture. Some renewable building materials aren't durable enough to be sustainable. So, how do you build green and dry? According to The Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition (RSMC), a consortium of building materials companies and associations, including USG Corporation, National Gypsum and American Gypsum, building green homes means designing, building and maintaining them in a way that keeps moisture at bay. Damp homes not only deteriorate more quickly, they also create an unhealthy environment that can become moldy and attract insects and other vermin.
Here are some helpful hints to make sure your home stays dry:
* Avoid complex roof designs that trap rainwater in valleys that do not drain.
* Never install wet building materials — they should be protected from the elements before installation.
* Flashings must be installed around all doors, windows and chimneys to drive moisture outside of the building.
* Only install drywall once the home has been closed in, and give joint compound enough time to dry before it is painted or covered.
* Be sure that there is adequate ventilation in your home. Energy-efficient homes can trap moisture, which leads to mold.
* Bamboo flooring is abundant and renewable, but bamboo's not highly durable. For a truly green floor, choose more durable materials, like ceramic tile.
* Select the right type of wallboard for high-moisture rooms like kitchens and baths. Generally, cement board or boards that combine fiberglass and cement are best for applying ceramic tile. Tile grout allows water intrusion, which can lead to mold.
For more information on these and other mold-resistant building tips, please visit www.responsiblemoldsolutions.org. Also, a copy of a free brochure on mold-fighting tips is available by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

API: Tell us, exactly what is the Million Minute Family Challenge?
BETH MUEHLENKAMP: The Million Minute Family Challenge is a grassroots effort across the United States and Canada to encourage families and friends to play non-electronic games together. We know people across the country enjoy playing games; this is a way for them to visually see their efforts and connect with others who share the same interest.
API: What have parents found to be most useful about the Million Minute Family Challenge?
BETH: Most parents tell me that the Million Minute Family Challenge gave them a reason or goal to turn off the TV, computer, or video game and reconnect around a board game. It gave them that little extra push, and when their kids see that other kids across the country are doing this, too, they get excited. The other bonus is that there is no cost to join and it takes as little as 20 minutes, but the benefits can last a lifetime. Plus, we provide you with an organizer kit and all the tools you need just in case you want to plan a larger scale game night or spread the word to your school, church, or any other group you are involved with.
API: How does the Million Minute Family Challenge fit into Attachment Parenting?
BETH: The Million Minute Family Challenge emphasizes the family connection that sitting face-to-face around a table provides. There are not many "fun" activities that replicate the bond that takes place while playing a board game. Families laugh, tell stories, learn to take turns, as well as learn to win and lose and many other life skills. The Million Minute Family Challenge helps fulfill that need for trust, respect, and affection that lead to long lasting, healthy relationships. It shows children an inexpensive way to spend time together and is a tradition that can easily be passed down. Plus, board games are wonderful for creating a neutral environment where children who are not as physically strong or athletic to compete and do well. The games encouraged in the Million Minute Family Challenge also create an environment where grandparents, parents, young adults, teenagers, and young children can all enjoy the same activity!
API: Thank you so much! Tell us where to go for more information?
BETH: To learn more about the Million Minute Family Challenge or to register your family or group, visit www.millionminute.com. Questions can also be directed to Beth Muehlenkamp at 1-800-524-4263, ext 249.
API: Last chance! Anything else you'd like to share?
BETH: I love when the participating families share their game playing stories. They are priceless moments and remind me of my childhood when I looked forward to a storm or time we lost power because it was about the only time my mother took a break from her work to play a game with me by candlelight. Now I have annual game nights with a group of girlfriends I attended high school with. I also get together often with my sisters, nieces, and nephews for a full night of laughter around a board game. It is such a great opportunity to get to know them as their lives change through high school, college, and into adulthood. I hope that for the families joining the Million Minute Family Challenge that it will start similar traditions.

Small Bedroom Ideas: 5 DIY Wooden Shelves For Tiny Sleeping Spaces
Bedroom not much bigger than a shoebox? Bookmark one of these 5 tiny DIY bedside table ideas for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
1. Mette at Monsters Circus turned a cutting board into a floating string table. Find the tutorial here.
2. Tête D'ange used oak wood to make this Scandinavian inspired swing shelf, but you could easily use reclaimed wood. You can find the full tutorial here.
3. Caitlin, of The Merrythought, created this DIY wall mount side table for Poppytalk. Caitlin used new wood, but because the table is so small, you could mix and match leftover wood from other projects. See the tutorial here.
4. Tracie from Cleverly Inspired used old salvaged trim to build a new shelf. Find the tutorial here.
5. Catherine from HyggeLiG mounted an old drawer onto a wall and attached a corded bulb to the drawer's handle. See more pictures here.

2009 Medal of Valor Awards
The Medal of Valor is the highest honor that California bestows on its public servants. It is awarded to California State employees who have performed an extraordinary act of heroism above and beyond the normal call of duty, at great risk to their own personal safety or life to save the life of another.
On December 10th, 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger presented Medal of Valor Awards to 27 California state employees in a ceremony at the Sacramento Convention Center.
"Today we are honoring the incredible, heroic acts performed by 27 state employees who selflessly put service and sacrifice above all else, and I am proud to present the Medal of Valor award to these extraordinary individuals." said Governor Schwarzenegger. "This year, we are also celebrating 50 years of heroic and courageous service by state employees that have not only devoted their professional lives to serve California and its citizens, but have at one time risked their own safety to protect the safety of another. The selfless acts of these employees clearly show that when faced with adversity, they can stand tall to the challenges life presents."
The following Caltrans employees received Medals of Valor from the Governor:
Brandon S. Akers, of San Luis Obispo, Silver Award: On June 18, 2009, intercepted a medically distressed driver and provided a traffic block to prevent further accidents and injuries.
Tracy Eugene Armstead, of Glendale, Gold Award: On September 8, 2008, attempted to rescue a suicidal man from drowning.
Dale William White Jr., of Bakersfield, Gold Award: On December 18, 2008, pushed two individuals out of the path of a reckless drunk driver.
Also see the article, Three Caltrans Employees Receive Governor's State Employee Medal of Valor, in the January 2010 issue of the CT News.

The University Committee on Activities Involving Human Subjects (UCAIHS) has established guidelines that allow investigators to make use of certain data without UCAIHS review and approval. These types of data include:
All investigators proposing to study public use data currently listed on the Not Human Subjects Checklist or de-identified data derived from other research projects; must complete a simple checklist to ensure that the data being used fit within OHRP's guidelines for research that does not require IRB review.
In the fall of 2008, the Office of Human Research Protection, which oversees Institutional Review Boards' (IRB) compliance with federal regulations concerning research involving human subjects, updated its guidance on types of data that do not require review by an IRB. The documents as issued can be found at: Guidance on Research Involving Coded Private Information or Biological Specimens (October 16, 2008) and Human Subjects Regulations Decision Charts (September 24, 2004). Additional guidance for each category of data is available as part of the discussions below.
Investigators proposing the use of public use data not currently listed on the Checklist, de-identified data not derived from other research projects, or research projects including human subjects activities in addition to the use of the above types of exempt data, must submit an Application for Review by UCAIHS.
Research that requires the submission of an application for IRB review may not be started until IRB approval has been granted.
Secondary analysis of public use survey data is one of the most common forms of research conducted by social scientists. The UCAIHS maintains a list of public use data sources for the NYU community and will add to the list as appropriate additional sources are identified. If a data set is not available to the general public, then it is not a public use dataset and a full IRB application must be completed for review. The proposed data set must be on the list of public use data sets listed below.
This policy does not apply to restricted use forms of secondary data that may be provided under special agreements by the above agencies or similar organizations. Such secondary datasets typically include potentially identifying information, unusually sensitive and/or private data, etc. The distinction between public use and restricted use data is generally very clearly stated by the primary source, and use of restricted data requires a clearance process and a confidentiality agreement. Projects that use restricted data must be approved by the UCAIHS through the regular application process; it is likely that most will fall into Exempt category #4.
If a dataset is not listed on the Checklist, contact UCAIHS for assistance in determining if the dataset meets the requirements for a public use dataset. A link to the dataset website must be provided. Researchers who wish to propose an additional agency or data set to the public data sources list should contact UCAIHS by sending an e-mail request to firstname.lastname@example.com with a subject heading of "Request for Addition to Public Use Data List". If UCAIHS determines the dataset meets the requirements, it will be added to the checklist and an e-mail will be sent to the PI verifying that the named dataset meets these requirements. If UCAIHS determines the dataset does not meet the requirements, an e-mail will be sent instructing the PI to submit a full IRB application for review. No use of the data for research should be made prior to the data being added to the list.
Secondary data derived from already completed research projects does not qualify for review under either Public Use Data or De-Identified Non-Public Data status. Investigators planning to make use of such data must submit an Application for Review to the UCAIHS for review and approval. It is likely that most of these applications will fall into Exempt Category #4.
Many agencies and organizations collect or have available as a result of the provision of services or collecting of information for organization purposes, data that represents information on individuals. These agencies or organizations may agree to make such information available to investigators for research purposes. Investigators who receive any such data that contain identifiers must submit a full Application for Review and receive approval from the UCAIHS prior to acquiring and using the data.
However, data that are de-identified prior to the investigator's receipt and that are not derived from previous research projects may not require review by the UCAIHS if the data meet the following criteria:
Investigators proposing to use de-identified data of this type should complete the Not Human Subjects Checklist to document in the investigator's files that the research meets the critiera and does not require UCAIHS review.
In the Colleges of Dentistry and Nursing, certain types of biological materials and patient data which have been derived through treatment of patients and have been de-identified prior to the proposed use, may no longer require UCAIHS review and approval.
Applications for the use of biological specimens and de-identified patient chart data should be emailed to Associate Dean Louis Terracio (firstname.lastname@example.com) with an electronic cc: to Dr. Jane McCutcheon (firstname.lastname@example.com) at the NYU College of Dentistry with a subject heading of "Request for Class B Data Status"

Sudbury native Linda Chorney's rocky road to a Grammy nomination, as well as the rerouting of Grammy rules and regulations after it – specifically because of her – makes for some wildly entertaining reading in her new book, the actual name of which can't be printed here. But let's call it "Who the Hell Is Linda Chorney."
Linda Chorney, the feisty singer-songwriter who was born in Boston, grew up in Sudbury, and now lives in Tucson, had a dream.
After 30 years of strapping on her guitar and singing songs from the heart at joints and dives and even some nice venues all over the world, she wanted to win a Grammy. With the release of her sixth album, "Emotional Jukebox," in 2011, she set that dream in motion, networking and using social media to get enough of the right people to hear that album. She got enough attention that she was nominated in the Americana category, alongside heavy hitters Ry Cooder, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, and Lucinda Williams.
Her nomination had the music industry "up in arms," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Helm won for his "Ramble at the Ryman."
That's OK. Her rocky road to the awards ceremony, as well as the rerouting of Grammy rules and regulations after it – specifically because of her – makes for some wildly entertaining reading in her new book, the actual name of which can't be printed here. But let's call it "Who the Hell Is Linda Chorney."
She'll be reading from the book, doing a Q&A session, and singing a few songs at the Goodnow Library in Sudbury on Thursday, May 23, and at the Porter Square Bookstore in Cambridge on Tuesday, May 28.
"I didn't know I was going to write a book. The book came when I got the 'Grammygate' phone call," she said, referring to the controversy that swelled up around her nomination. "That's when I said, 'This is a crazy story.' "
That's an understatement. Reading Chorney's book is like sitting next to her and listening to her chat about her tale – from the kindness of her anesthesiologist pal Dr. Jonathan Schneider, who provided the funding for making the record, to dealing with the psychotic, multi-mooded publicist that she rightly renames Sybil. But, like a good, intense chat, hers is nonlinear, jumping back and forth and in and out of points in her life that led up to her Grammy kerfuffle.
"I thought it was important to show where I've been but I didn't want to do that all in one chunk," she explained. "I wanted to kind of break it up, which is why, on occasion, you take part in my virtual time machine travel."
Chorney wrote the book over a 16-month period, taking some time in the process to do a little recording and play a few gigs. But the book was her priority because "the most important thing was for the truth to come out about what happened and what I went through."
Some of it wasn't very pleasant, while some of it was hilarious. Chorney made sure to tell it the way it was.
"I'm a perfectionist," she said. "I read the book at least six times, from cover to cover. It was very similar to making an album, where you have to say, 'Is this done? Is it soup yet?' The hardest part was letting go. But I had let it go."
Of course, the act of writing it was no picnic.
"My first editor was Karen Doyle, who was a classmate of mine in high school. Then my cousin, Robin Russin, who teaches screenplay writing, edited it."
It was Russin who, at a few junctures, told Chorney there were some tidbits she included that shouldn't be there, that she would have to change a few things. She did. But it was Doyle who "would have preferred a few less f-bombs," said Chorney, laughing, mainly because she left all of them in.
"If you consider there are 144,000 words there, and I only used it 200-something times, I don't think that's bad," she said.
But between the cursing and the song lyrics and the decidedly odd situations Chorney found herself in, she definitely learned some lessons, many of them having to do with people who were out to harm her career.
"I learned to trust my instinct immediately," she said. "I believe this book is good for anybody to read. I don't think you need to be in the music business to enjoy it. In general, in life, if somebody does something, no matter who they are or how they can allegedly benefit your life, if you sense a red flag, do not be intimidated by their power. Get as far away from that person as you can. Don't allow other factors to get in the way of your instincts. If you are sensing something [bad] about somebody, you're probably right."
Today, with another record on the way, Chorney has also started to write another book.
"It's a book about trying to make the movie of what happened to me," she said. "It's about my pursuit of finding [director] Cameron Crowe to make the movie. So it's the steps I'm taking to try to find him. It's me getting leads on people to try to get the film made. I want Sandra Bullock to play me. I kind of want me to play me, but I've been told that in order to have a big film be a success, you have to have somebody else play me. So I would sing, and Sandra Bullock would lip-sync to it. I already have the whole thing planned out."
Linda Chorney will appear at 7 p.m. on May 23 at the Goodnow Library in Sudbury and at 7 p.m. May 28 at Porter Square Books in Cambridge. Both events are free.

...every case of AI rampancy stated led to said AI taking over a planet-sized computer system and planning to take over the universe....

De... I... I don't plan to go that far with AI rampancy...! Not for now at least...
The way I see it, it's like Tabane has a leash on the Silver Gospel AI and she's practically screwing around with the AI while also keeping it from going rouge entirely.

I prefer my interpretation of Tabane:
A freaking Troll who is more devious than she acted/appear.
Having Fun appear to be major goal of Tabane.... will even go as far as Manipulating others in such a way that they don't deviate from her "fun" plan (Admittedly the latter part might be true.)
I make it in such as way that she already have technology more advanced than IS but keep it secret because "it won't be fun".
A take-that to other fanfic (especially those with original machine more or equally advanced as IS): She is just trolling around.
The reason why IS have weakness is deliberate attempt on her part to make things more interesting...
When the glove really comes off, she show what she means that life is unfair.(Read: Infinite Energy + infinite Absolute Barrier + Energy Barrier Nullifying + access to all One-off ability.)
The Ultimate IS use AI. An AI that keep improving with every Golem battles. Any tactics used once will not work the second time..... not like tactics matter when nothing could scratch it....

From zero to hypersonic means 0-1800+ mps, in ten second that means 180 g linear acceleration traversing 9.000 meter...
Anyway, I think it's good enough as of now, why didn't you post it?
@ Eras
most definitely yes.

@zero: I fgured hypersonic was pushing it so I contemplated supersonic. But I was sure even Akatsubaki could pull that off and be absolutely safe. Mach 3 or 4 just sounded bleh. Hypersonic just seemed to click with the requirements. Fast and suicidal. Rong should be dead, but the physical reinforcement system keeps him alive... though barely.
As for why I haven't posted it yet... should I?

Well, Author never really gave us exact figure, the only clue found is that Akatsubaki climb 300 m in a brief moment in the novel, and anime depict sonic boom, so that means somewhere between 10-20g. Remember that it's said repeatedly in the novel that supersonic combat are special.
Gospel's maximum speed: 1380 km/h, a little over Mach 1....
EDIT: which doesn't make sense given how WK portrayed...
@ Eras
Depends, sure thing it actual cover your body and hair, but it's not like people can keep their face down in all situation, so it's sort of qualify depends on circumstances.

Anyway it's not necessary for Rong to actually achieve hypersonic speeds at that point. "zero to hypersonic in 10" just indicated his acceleration. Also, airdrag and the incomplete PIC copy system was pretty much going to get him dead. Laura's words would be already taking IS class PIC into account.

??? that's wacked. Gospel is barely supersonic but Strike gunner is a high speed package tuned for hypersonic combat. As far as I know IS cover supersonic velocities on a regular basis. Since they can outrun and out maneuver state of the art jets like nothing.
Finally figured out why I couldn't write IS and Fourze xover before. I'm not too strong in writing from the POV of IS side. I seemed to be more comfortable if it's from KR side. Specially since the IS side is basically in mid story already.

I don't think so. The IS support doesn't seem to be a permanent change. Best example of justification of this I can think of is Rin blocking Houki's strike. Ichika states that IS aren't effective until they are properly worn by the pilot. That's why Rin's ability was solely on her own merit and not because of the IS
Ichipedia... the least trustworthy source of information. But it's all I got.

Well, that's stated in the novel, not from Ichika, but by Chifuyu herself based on sensor reading. Also, both Cecilia and Rin is the one explained to ichika that supersonic combat is different than usual fight in the arena, Maya also confirmed it.
Yeah, definitely doesn't makes sense, consistent so far until you think back to White Knigth incident.
Hence I need to build up rules from the ground, that I.S. are limited by altitude than anything else, their worst enemy is none other than air resistance. Hypersonic speed doesn't really hard to attain when you're facing 1% of the usual drag force.

Steve Davis played some sublime snooker in reaching the UK Championship final last season.
The sport leans heavily – often too heavily – on nostalgia but Davis's run to the final captured the imagination. It was 25 years since he won the first of his six UK titles and to beat Stephen Maguire, Ken Doherty and Stephen Hendry was a sterling effort.
Against Maguire, he made a 145 total clearance, his highest break since he constructed the first televised 147 in 1982, in recovering from 8-6 down. It was incredible and set the tone for the week.
In the end, Davis came unstuck 10-6 against Ding Jun Hui – hardly a disgrace but disappointing for the grand old man of snooker and his many fans nonetheless.
"It was a thrill to play such good snooker," the 49 year-old recalls now. "In getting to the final I played some of the best stuff of my career.
"It doesn't surprise me when I play well. In fact I find it very frustrating when I don't but the standard is so high these days that you need a few factors to come together to get to a final.
"I under achieved a bit against Ding. It was a great tournament for me but that was the missing piece in the jigsaw. Perhaps I wanted it a bit too much. It's been 11 years since I won my last ranking title and I was so close to getting my hands on the trophy.
"It would be wonderful to get a tailwind behind me and have another long run in the tournament."
Davis's great run last year – it was his 100th final – was reminiscent of Doug Mountjoy's heroics in the 1988 UK Championship.
Mountjoy won the title in 1978 but, ten years on, his best days were presumed to be behind him.
Down to 24th in the rankings, he wasn't given any real chance in Preston but ended up beating Hendry 16-12 in the final. Mountjoy even knocked in three successive centuries in the process.
In case anyone mistakenly assumed this was some sort of fluke he then went and won the next ranking tournament, the Mercantile Classic.
Davis still has the class to perform at the highest level and a Mountjoy-style performance at York next month would be universally popular.
1 comment:
I don't think Davis will ever get a better chance of winning another UK - and possibly world ranking - title, than last year.
It was a fantastic effort and, although Ding had already proven himself, he was there for the taking.
If I remember rightly, Davis only just got across the line in the evening session of his semi-final against Hendry. The Scotsman played really well in the 2nd session - but of course - it was the first session that Davis sparkled in which gained him entry to the final.
Also, Davis had a good week at the World Pool Championships, so he may be worth an a long-shot depending on his draw.
Thanks, Joe

Back in April, a group of Charlotte boys' and girls' high school basketball players traveled to Limoges, France, to play in a tournament of teams from Limoges' sister cities. The Charlotte teams did us and James Naismith proud – affirming our basketball heritage by soundly beating each opponent on the way to both tournament titles.
The group also spent time touring Limoges, a city in west-central France with rich architecture that includes centuries-old chapels and ruins from the first century, when Limoges was a Roman settlement. This past week, we did our part in this cultural exchange, hosting a team of high school boys who spent seven days playing basketball and touring the area.
We know what some of you are thinking.
A week in France. A week in Charlotte.
Someone is clearly getting a better exchange rate here.
Alina MacNichol hears that sort of thing all the time. She's executive director of Charlotte International Cabinet, a non-profit that promotes Charlotte as an international city. Her responsibilities include overseeing the visits of groups from sister cities, including Limoges.
Do people here sometimes smirk at her task of showing international visitors our culture? "Yes," she said, before the question is finished.
So what does a professional try to show others about us?
That depends. If it's a business group, they get a thorough walk around Uuptown and a drive to the University City area to the innovative Ben Craig Center for entrepreneurs. If it's a cultural group, they head to the Charlotte Museum of History Charlotte History Museum and the Levine Museum of the New South.
As for teenage basketball players, well, that's easy. Charlotte is helped by its abundant shopping and sports offerings, as well as the fact that teenagers universally think any place on Earth is more exciting than the place they live.
So instead of the Mint and Bechtler, it was Concord Mills and Carolina Place for the young men from Limoges. The group also got some history from the Levine Museum and civics from the Government Center. And yes, there was a spin around Charlotte Motor Speedway, as well as a visit to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Limoges may have ruins, but we have wrecks.
The team was most excited, however, at getting to see a Charlotte Bobcats practice, where Michael Jordan was in attendance, watching from a balcony. The young men also got to shoot around before Saturday's game at Time Warner Cable Arena Arena, thanks to Charlotte International Cabinet official Jerry Helms, who happened to be roommates 50 years ago at UNC Chapel Hill with Bobcats coach Larry Brown.
On Friday, before a day at Rocky River High School in Mint Hill, team members spoke about their week, about the glory of cheeseburgers, and cheerleaders, and about how Charlotte was not what they expected. "Everything is bigger," said Enzo Chaume.
MacNichol hears a lot of that, too. Business groups, she says, are surprised at Charlotte's diversified economy and hundreds of foreign-owned firms. Others marvel at the city's liveability and how friendly the people are here.
"They're surprised at the fact that we have so much that's at a high level," she said.
So maybe you think that's exactly what MacNichol is supposed to say. But it's what a lot of us heard and said about Charlotte, until the economy took the shine off the Uuptown towers. Now we have a high jobless rate, and we're fighting over our schools, and the usual escape from all that, our NFL team, is delivering a new dose of grim each week.
But spend some time with a group of French teenage basketball players, and maybe you get a new look at the bigness they see – the buildings and opportunities, the distinct culture of wanting to be better. Despite all the things we aren't, this is still a place that celebrates that culture, a place that for decades has been – and likely will be – capable of not only surprising others, but ourselves.

Microsoft Works is something I personally despise with all my heart. While it is compatible with ordinary Word and Excel documents, it also has its own built-in file format that can't really be read or edited by anything. I recall several occasions on which I had to help people out because they received documents in a weird format that they could not open - even though the people sending it to them claimed they had used "Microsoft Word" to create the document.
The situation when it comes to file format compatibility between Works and Office is complicated and annoying. In a table (made in Excel 2007, darn it!), it looks something like this:
Microsoft Works, at version 9.0, is quite outdated. Version 9.0 offered Windows Vista compatibility, but it for instance still sports Windows 95-esque icon design. As an experiment, Works is currently also available as an ad-supported version, but only in some countries and it's limited to OEMs.
Microsoft Office 2010 Starter is supposed to remedy all of this. It is a true Office product - so not a rebranded Works suite - but is cheap and ad-supported. Its feature set will also be limited compared to the regular versions of the product line. It will sports the ribbon user interface and use regular Office file formats.
I guess Microsoft Works no longer... Works. Yes, I'm here all week.
Microsoft also announced the concept of Product Key Cards, single-license cards that allow people to upgrade to one of the three full versions of Microsoft Office 2010, (Home & Student, Home & Business 2010, Professional). These cards will be sold through OEMs and at retail outlets. Whether these cards allow you to upgrade from a trial version to one of the full versions, or also from Starter is not yet clear.
Another product that's coming from the Office department is Click-to-Run, a downloadable version of Office that uses virtualisation to run side-by-side with previous versions, so that users can test it out without harming their current installation. It also uses streaming technology so that users can start using it right away, even before the download is finished.
Microsoft Office 2010 will arrive in the first half of next year, and will be the first release in both 32bit and 64bit. In what we would really want Windows to be like, the 32bit and 64bit versions ship on the same DVD.

This is an unedited version of an interview that I did with one of my musical heroes, Genya Ravan, that appeared in the Fall 2011 issue of Bitch Magazine. This version is longer and has more questions than the interview that was published. To see the interview as it appeared in Bitch, check out: Genya Ravan's Official Website Press Page
"Walking In Different Circles": An Interview with Genya Ravan
By Bess Korey
During the 1960's, Genya Ravan was a founding member of the first all-female band ever signed to a major label, Goldie and the Gingerbreads. The band is finally getting some long overdue credit for their accomplishments at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power", which opened May 13th, 2011 and will be running until February 26th, 2012. Unfortunately Goldie and the Gingerbreads never broke big in the U.S., but they had a hit song in the U.K. called "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat". Their catchy pop sound and vocal harmonizing was reminiscent of other Girl Groups of the mid '60s, and because of that, their song "Walking In Different Circles" can be found on the Rhino Records box set, One Kiss Can Lead To Another: Girl Group Sounds, Lost & Found. Unlike most of their contemporaries that can be found on this box set, Goldie and the Gingerbreads played their own instruments and were not just a vocal group, which was a very groundbreaking thing for women to be doing at the time.
Listening to Goldie and the Gingerbreads, it is clear that Ravan is a talented singer, but her vocals sound a bit restrained when compared to the reckless abandon that she brought when she later fronted the all-male Jazz/Funk/Psychedelic influenced band Ten Wheel Drive, during the late '60s and early '70s. Her soulful performances with that band are comparable to the singing of artists like Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. After Ten Wheel Drive, Ravan became a solo artist and a record producer. Even today, record producing remains a male dominated field, so the fact that Ravan was breaking in to it during the '70s, adds to her pioneering status. She produced her own music, including her 1978 album Urban Desire; which fits in well with the Punk/New Wave sounds of the mid-late '70s yet still gives Ravan a chance to show off her raspy and soulful vocals; and she also produced the Dead Boys' infamous first album, Young, Loud and Snotty.
Ravan continues to produce, perform and record music today. Her latest album, Undercover, came out in 2010. She is also a writer, and had her autobiography, Lollipop Lounge: Memoirs of a Rock and Roll Refugee, published in 2004. She is currently working on a screenplay based on that book, and would like Juliette Lewis to play her in the film. She also DJs on two different radio shows for Little Steven's "Underground Garage", "Goldie's Garage" and "Chicks and Broads", the latter being devoted to music by female artists. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Exhibit has brought her career full circle, and in the following interview, which took place during June 2011, Ravan talks about her amazing life and accomplishments.
BK: Are you happy with how Goldie and the Gingerbreads is being honored at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Exhibit?
GR: Right now we are honored in the R & R museum which is wonderful, I would like the actual Hall of Fame to honor us for being the first girls rock group, before we all die….Carol MacDonald, is already gone, she died two years ago. She was the Guitar player. I might also mention that I was the first female producer to produce acts other than themselves. Women had produced themselves by then, but not other acts.
When you were first starting out in Goldie and the Gingerbreads, did you have to fight being seen as a novelty since the idea of an all-female band was pretty much unheard of at the time?
We were considered a novelty till they heard us. Right from the first note, they knew they were hearing and watching something special.
How did your male peers react to the band?
A woman will always be treated like the weaker softer sex, very hard for men to comprehend 'women doing what men do' even if it's better. The USA was far more misogynist than the Euro men. In Europe they said, "Wow, you are great!" and in the USA the guys were like, "Do you broads really wanna be in this ruff business? Shouldn't you be home married with children?" I never let it bother me, it drove me to become so good that the male musicians would get embarrassed when they followed us on stage, the thing that really always bothered me was, how a journalist would mention age….they do not say Mick Jagger is in his 30's now…40's now etc…or what the male groups wore that night.
What was the best thing about being in Goldie and the Gingerbreads?
The best thing about having put Goldie and The Gingerbreads together was that it was the best schooling of music anyone could get. I feel sorry for the musicians today, they don't get a chance to play clubs, learn, jam…radio just sucks today…it's a fast food industry…I loved the older times when you didn't get a contract for recording cause of payola…you got it cause you were good and there was a future.
Do you have any plans to release a compilation of Goldie and the Gingerbreads' music in the future?
I believe there is enough to put out a full CD. I am not sure the quality of those records would hold up now, the other problem is the singles are on different labels, some on Atlantic records, some on Decca England, some on Spokane Scepter records, it would be hard to get an ok from all of them to put it all together…I will be trying ….someone tried to bootleg a CD, but its not only Goldie and the Gingerbreads, it's also my first group The Escorts.
Was it a big change for you going from an all-female band to being in a band with all males when you joined Ten Wheel Drive?
Man oh man yes……but there was a bit of a break between the two bands, I had joined a male jazz trio because the drummer was a boyfriend [at the time]…Les Demerle, who is a great drummer. As far as Ten Wheel Drive, the feeling was not as warm as having a bunch of girlfriends in the same band…Ten Wheel Drive left me lonely many a time…I was used to hugging and kissing after a [Goldie and the Gingerbreads] show, uh uh, not with male players, especially Jazz players in TWD…they just do their thing and go smoke a joint.
Did people react differently to Ten Wheel Drive because there were male musicians involved than they did to Goldie and the Gingerbreads as an all-female band?
Well, the shock of Goldie and The Gingerbreads when curtains went up, was always a great thing to look at from stage…..I loved it…I always had something to prove, to work hard at.
What is your favorite memory from your time in Ten Wheel Drive?
Getting to jump on stage when playing with people like The Allman Brothers at the Whisky in LA when working opposite them…Having Janis Joplin jump on stage with me at the Scene Club NYC…I loved clubs, TWD really only did larger venues…So when I would get to a smaller club I could get a more personal performance. Like the old days with Goldie and The Gingerbreads.
Did you feel as if you had any trouble being taken seriously as a woman record producer since it is typically a job that males do?
I always got resistance especially from engineers, but I would fire engineers if they didn't give me what I wanted, and if it was an artist giving me a hard time, I would pass on them too… I took no chances when it came to my reputation. I remember an engineer telling me how nervous he was about me because he heard I was tuff on them, I said, "Just give me what I want and I'm an angel"…The part that bothers me is when a male producer says what he wants, he is called a genius, when I say what I want, I'm hard to work with!
What is your favorite album that you have ever done?
URBAN DESIRE for sure…Basically, this was the first time, I was able to produce myself, and it was the most recognition any of my albums ever had, it was the most picked album for two weeks in the trades, me and Springsteen's record…..(my record company decided to close shop as I was climbing up the charts ). Ever since then, I have produced myself, I have had enough experience by then to do that. When I produce myself I have to step away from me and ego…ah, you think that's easy? I have let certain vocals go on records that I was not all that thrilled with but they worked some sort of magic, you have to be pretty experienced to do that, it's not easy standing away from yourself. Also those days I always worked with engineers, today I engineer myself with the magic of Pro Tools… on my computer… but and this is a big but….there are pros and cons here for not being in a studio, but rather working out of your own house. I like working with some tension…so I give myself deadlines too. "You're never alone with a schizophrenic" haha.
What are your favorite bands to DJ on your radio shows?
Ah so many, new ones are a group from Europe, Fake Elegance is one of them,…and for my Chicks and Broads show…I still play the hell out of my older women: Baby Washington, Darlene Love, a new group called Spanking Charlene…the Sweet Inspirations…. Sissy Houston is in that [last] group (mother of Whitney Houston), the Ting Tings, Tegan and Sara…
What inspired your latest album Undercover?
Well I work best under pressure, so when I was signed to labels they would say, "We need to have that record finished by such and such", that's when I would do my best writing. Today, there is no pressure, there are no labels, such a sad time… I'm so glad I came on the scene when I did…those were the best music years….just look at what we had then….but back to the question. I came up with my Undercover CD by thinking about some songs I always wanted to sing, and decided to do my versions of them…I like doing that, it's sort of old school, like jamming on stage with players you never played with before, and letting magic happen.

Why Clarkson for ES&P?
Today's environmental leaders need knowledge and skills in a variety of academic fields. That's why our curriculum includes several disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, ecology, environmental health science, and "big picture" courses in politics, history, economics, ethics and law.
As an Environmental Science and Policy (ES&P) student, you'll also have the opportunity to design your educational experiences to meet your career goals. Many of our students double major in areas such as engineering, biology and chemistry or add minors or concentrations to round out their education.
ES&P at Clarkson also offers:
- Learning about the environment in the environment (6-million acre Adirondack Park)
- Close mentoring relationships with instructors
- Small class sizes
- Work and conduct research with professors recognized as leaders in their field
- Hands-on experience through course projects
- Internships
- Co-ops
- Capstone projects
ES&P is administered through Clarkson University's Institute for a Sustainable Environment (ISE) which allows access to state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories as well as three centers for student and faculty collaborative research: the Center for Air Resources Engineering and Sciences (CARES), the Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (CSES), and The Great Rivers Center (GRC).
"Clarkson's location in the Adirondacks provides a unique experience for ES&P majors. Classes like botany, ecology, and biology frequently use the Clarkson woods and surrounding area to get up close to plants and wildlife and collect data for various group projects."
-Nate Moore '10

Recall 08V410000
Windshield Wipers May Fail
Recall Details
If a buildup of snow were to occur on the windshield, the movement of the wipers may be restricted. This could result in the wiper linkage becoming detached from the wiper motor, rendering the wipers inoperable. Visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will install a new wiper crank arm, driver's side link, and crank arm nut to correct this problem. This recall is expected to begin on October 13, 2008. The General Motors recall number is 08091.
Our Quick Take
In heavy snow areas, a buildup of snow on the windshield wipers could cause the wipers to fail. Visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
What Should You Do?
This could be considered a medium priority recall, increasing to high in snowy conditions. Please contact your General Motors dealer. They will check to see if your specific vehicle is affected and advise you on what to do next. Always have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

Continuing budget reduction effort07/29/2013
Dear Colleagues,
As has been previously announced, the budget for fiscal 2013-14 that was approved by the Board of Trustees in June was based in part on the elimination of approximately 100 positions across campus. Most of those positions were already vacant or the result of retirements, and we continue to learn about other resignations or retirements. Nonetheless, there are some currently filled positions that are being scheduled for elimination as a result of departmental reorganization and/or realignments of responsibilities.
You may recall that the original budget was based on flat to slightly declining enrollment. More recent projections suggest enrollment could be down 5-7%. As a result, a revised fiscal year 2013-14 budget will be required to reflect reduced revenues. We have asked Deans, Vice Presidents and their leadership to continue to look for efficiencies in their operations, as they undertake another series of budget-reduction exercises to address this potential. This process will likely result in additional restructuring and realignment of responsibilities along with the implementation of hiring constraints limited to strategic needs. While we will continue to rely upon attrition to achieve position reductions, some additional position eliminations may also be necessary.
We realize these exercises generate a sense of uncertainty on campus. As enrollment numbers become clear, we will develop any necessary budget revisions for the Board of Trustees' meeting in October. At that point, we will communicate the full impact of fluctuations in enrollment.
We cannot emphasize enough that student success remains at the core of our mission. Individual student success is in large measure reflected by student persistence from one semester to another, through to graduation. As we assist our students in this process, it is important that we be mindful that increased retention and graduation rates improve the financial outlook for the university.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Creativity
You're probably aware of the Seven Deadly Sins, but have you ever thought about how they might tie back to creativity…in a positive way? Lateral Action, a blog about creativity plus productivity, shows you how indulging in some of these sins may allow you to produce some of your best work. We've pulled out a few notable "sins" below, so check them out then read about all seven in their entirety.
Creativity feels good and it should feel addictive. You definitely should not waste your time on anything that doesn't draw your attraction. Always remember that your talent is your ticket to pleasure.
You can't create great art without first consuming it – lots of it. Drawing inspiration from other work is just as creative as making things yourself.
The most creative moments sometimes come to us when we're not doing much, or are on creative downtime. So take that time off and relax outside in a park, take a long shower, or lay on a beach!
You're different, and that makes you an artist. Don't compare yourself to others, always take pride in your own work.
Tell us, have you ever indulged in any of these creative sins?

VATICAN CITY — He's God's own man, but Italians think he should be theirs too.
Now, after a 35-year hiccup, they have a good shot at making that true again. As the derby begins to replace Pope Benedict XVI, who stunned the world this week by announcing his intention to retire at the end of the month, Italy is aiming to resume the line of homegrown pontiffs who reigned for more than 450 years until John Paul II, a Pole, came along in 1978.
Italians figure high on the list of likely successors to the German-born Benedict and, by a wide margin, form the single largest national bloc — though far from a majority — among the cardinals who will choose the next occupant of St. Peter's throne.
But chances of a glorious restoration are tempered by strong candidates from other regions, missteps by senior Italians in the Vatican and the reality that the center of gravity of the global church has shifted, perhaps permanently, away from Europe. Many Roman Catholics believe that in the 21st century their leadership would be better off a little less Roman and a lot more catholic.

Holmes-Wayne-Tuscarawas Counties Old Order Amish Settlement (Ohio, USA)
1956 Article
Holmes County (Ohio) Old Order Amish settlement is the largest Old Order Amish community in the United States. Founded in 1809 by settlers coming from Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In 1955 it had 43 congregations with 4,354 baptized members and approximately 1,600 families. In addition there were in the community one Beachy Amish congregation with 28 members, two Conservative Amish congregations with 428 members, six Mennonite (Mennonite Church Ohio Conference) congregations with 1,312 members, and one General Conference congregation with 235 members, all of whom with few exceptions descend from the original Amish constituency in this area. The Amish community, which was in the eastern half of the county, roughly east of Route 76 and the county seat of Millersburg, "spilled over" into Coshocton County on the south and Wayne County on the north. It always had also covered the western part of Tuscarawas County lying immediately east of Holmes County. In the heart of the settlement the land was almost solidly occupied by Amish or Mennonite farmers. From east to west the Amish shopping centers were Sugarcreek (Tuscarawas County), Walnut Creek, Berlin, and Millersburg.
The Old Order Amish of Holmes County were no longer fully unified in the 1950s. A stricter group of congregations, which practiced shunning sharply against members transferring to other Amish or Mennonite congregations, had no communion fellowship with the other Amish congregations. This included several subgroups: the "Swartzendruber" or "Sam Yoder" group of five congregations, and the "Stutzman" group of two congregations. Some of these strict congregations were not in communion with each other.
The first division in the community, that between the Old Order and the progressive group (Walnut Creek congregation) which joined the Mennonite (Mennonite Church) Conference, occurred in 1862. The Conservative division occurred about 1915. The small Beachy congregation was started in 1941. A Church of God in Christ mission, called the Rock of Ages Mission, which was established among the Amish near Maysville, won a small number of Old Order Amish and a few more Old Order Mennonites and others.
Parochial schools have developed more widely in the Holmes County Amish community than anywhere else among the Old Order Amish. For the school year 1955-1956 there were ten such schools, with a total enrollment of 344, each operated by its own Amish school board, the first established in 1945. Two of these offer nine grades, thus including the first year of high school.
The typical congregational organization of the Holmes County Amish consists of one bishop, two preachers, and one deacon. In 1955 there were in the 43 congregations, 39 bishops, 80 preachers, and 36 deacons, or a total of 155 ordained men. There was no church activity in the congregations except a Sunday morning church service every two weeks. Some of the members supported the work of the Mission Interests Committee. J. A. Raber of Baltic, Ohio, operated a small bookstore at his home, and occasionally issued publications, including even an edition of Menno Simons' Works in German (1926). He has published the Neuer Amerikanischer Calender annually since 1930. This Calender contained an Amish "ministers' list" with years of birth and ordination indicated for each one.
The Holmes County Amish settlement was a typical close-knit Amish community, somewhat less tradition-bound than the more conservative Lancaster County settlement, and very similar in spiritual and cultural level to the Elkhart-Lagrange County settlement in northern Indiana. The Brunk Brothers' revival campaign and similar campaigns by other Mennonite evangelists held in the vicinity in the early 1950s had some influence, although the most common result was the transfer of awakened members to a Conservative congregation or to an Ohio Mennonite congregation.
Beginning with 1953, Ervin Gingerich, an Old Order Amish deacon, has published annually an Ohio Amish Directory, since 1956 in two volumes, the first of which gave complete ministerial and membership statistics and names for all Amish congregations in the Holmes County settlement, including also parochial school statistics. Vol. II did the same for all other Amish congregations in Ohio. The Budget, a weekly newspaper published at Sugarcreek, Ohio, since 1920, has long been "the Amish newspaper," not only for Holmes County but also for the entire United States with a circulation of well over 8,000 in the 1950s. It contained a remarkable amount of Amish local news "correspondence" from many Amish communities, as well as special articles of interest to the Old Order and Conservative groups. For over 30 years (1890-1920) the paper was edited and published by S. H. Miller and J. C. Miller, the former an Amish Mennonite minister of Shanesville.
In spite of the long history and size of the Holmes County Amish settlement practically nothing had been published about it. Two unpublished M.A. theses on this region were recorded by John A. Hostetler in his Annotated Bibliography on the Amish (Scottdale, 1951): Lyle Fletcher, "The Amish People of Holmes County, Ohio: A Study in Human Geography" (Ohio State University, 1932, pp. 98) and Velma Leeper, "The History, Customs, and Social Life of the Amish of Ohio with Special Reference to Holmes County" (Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, 1936, pp. 180). -- Harold S. Bender
1990 Article
The Holmes-Wayne-Tuscarawas Counties, Ohio, Old Order Amish Settlement -- the world's largest Amish settlement -- is located 35 miles (55 km) southwest of Canton, Ohio. Its first settlers arrived in 1807 from Somerset and Mifflin Counties in Pennsylvania; however, the community began developing when Jonas Stutzmen built a log cabin near Walnut Creek in 1809. In 1986 this hilly, picturesque community had over 110 church districts (congregations) serving a total population of about 30,000 people. Amish population has doubled in the last 25 years, due mainly to large family size.
The state of Ohio had 23 separate Amish settlements in 1987 which supported more than 150 parochial schools. The majority of these schools were found in the Holmes County area. Amish schooling reflected the seriousness given to child rearing, not only in the development of the basic skills, but more importantly, the moral content and cultural standards to be instilled in the socialization process.
The Holmes County community has experienced a greater amount of factionalism than is found in most Amish settlements. In 1987 more than 20 distinct groups of Amish and Mennonites could be identified by their variations of dress, modes of transportation, or degrees of modernity. Groups were often identified by the names of their leaders, usually a minister or bishop. Some groups avoided full fellowship with each other because of differences in church discipline. Such cultural and religious differences created a certain curiosity that attracted tourists. Holmes County has become one of the major tourist areas in the state, although not fully sanctioned by the Amish. Tourism has invited craft shops, restaurants specializing in Amish cooking, and other commercial endeavors to an otherwise quiet, tranquil community. Amish non-farmers are increasingly involved in the tourist business. The area is nationally known for its Swiss cheese and homemade Trail Bologna. Sugarcreek, a small town in Tuscarawas County, is well known for it publication of The Budget, a popular weekly newspaper that serves hundreds of Amish and Mennonite communities in the United States, Canada, and several other countries. -- Samuel L.Yoder
2017 Update
In 2017 the settlement had an estimated 274 church districts and an estimated population of 35,130.
