Offerings : High-Touch & Hands-On!
Our Mission: High-Touch & Hands-On, with good scents!
I'm offering a number of workshops or seminars designed to bring touch and smell back to the practice of design.
With the evolving explosion of inter-networked technologies unimaginable a few years back, designers and students of design are finding to their dismay that there's something important missing from their practice! The eye and mind may work exquisitely together in digital media, but it's a strange turn of events when the hands, our original digits, are left unloved, mere pointers, as is the nose, completely ignored, that most fundamental sensor of love and disgust! (If you smell your computer, it's time to grab the fire-extinguisher!)
Thus, there's an enormous interest in letterpress printing today, not only for its wood type rough-and-tumble visual aesthetic, or the exquisite impression in fine papers, but in the process, the touch and smell of actually making something with ones hands.
The smell of the ink, and the paper; the touch of the impression, of the cold steel bed of the press—there is nothing—nothing—that designing websites can offer to match this. With the success of the "Sign Painters" documentary, we see the same thing coming to hand-lettering. Sensei Kaz Tanahashi travels the globe teaching East Asian Calligraphy, or The Way of the Brush... Again, bringing the hand and body back to the present place and the present moment.
For example, in Wood Type Experimental Printmaking with dampened paper which I taught at the 2014 Hamilton Woodtype and Printing Museum Wayzgoose, we dig into the history of the passionate menage a trois between ink, type and paper. There is physics and chemistry, there is water and cellulose, there is touch, and smell. In Accentuate the Positive! we bring the smell of the freshly sharpened pencil, and the haptic sense of touch together where the piercing eye can not go...
And so each helps engage the body and the senses in the design process. On the Heidelberg Windmill, the sound of the forme rollers on the ink cylinder, and the rhythmic clatter of the sheet drawn in by the gripper each provide valuable information about the state of the impression... The R-mode brain is the more intuitive and sensual. We want it to be fully engaged, active and bubbling over with creative juices, thus giving the left-brain plenty of inspired material to build on later... Out mission is to bring it to a boil through these high-touch and hands-on engagements!
Please explore the offerings. I value your thoughts and feedback. Please follow @ideawords and my Google+ page (links in the footer below) and let's talk about these ideas!
Accentuate the Positive!
...but, what's missing?
Drawing Letters without Lines: Learning to Feel the Intangible
Abstract forms are studied first as pure figure and ground relationships, and only then with stylistic consideration. A variety of techniques push our boundaries of observation, using the eye, the mind, and the hands to open doors of perception.
Perceptual drawing exercises help us develop a toolkit of practical approaches to drawing glyphs or sequences of letters. The same exercises also strengthen and refine pure drawing, of any subject.
Typographic Finesse & "Negative Space Counseling"
We offer visual appraisal and iterative refinement services for graphic and typographic designers, as well as workshops in advanced typographic design and techniques with Adobe InDesign and other tools. Typographic Finesse is the appreciation of centuries of visual communication, put into contemporary practice.
Heidelberg Windmill 21st Century Letterpress Master Class
3-5 day workshops covering all aspects of the setup and operation of the "Mercedes" of letterpress platen presses
Wood Type Experimental Printmaking with dampened paper
How John Baskerville squeezed the life out of printing and what we can do to bring it back.
Travel Journals : Sketching & Hand-Made Books
This five-day workshop with Peter Fraterdeus and Alice McMahon is offered by request for small groups. We can arrange for a week or more in locations such as Northern Italy, Barcelona, Andalucia, and Ireland, as well as notable venues in the US.
This workshop combines non-adhesive bookbinding techniques — leading up to making a multi-signature journals with a traditional folded paper cover — with taking our journals into the field to make sketches of the local built and natural environments in a journal format.
Please contact me for more information on the offerings!

As the population of Broward County continues to grow, so does the use of hazardous chemicals and the potential for contamination of our drinking water supplies. Toxic chemicals from chemical spills can persist for a long time underground and they can travel great distances in the subsurface environment to our public potable water wells.
Our main water supplies are dependent on a rain-driven system which recharges the highly transmissive Biscayne Aquifer providing water to more than 250 supply wells found in 39 wellfields. The treated water is distributed by public and private utilities to Broward County residents, visitors, and businesses.
This program establishes protected areas around public and private wellfields. The program's responsibility is to regulate the storage, handling, use, and production of regulated substances at facilities within the wellfield protected areas. The program's mission is to prevent hazardous chemicals from being released into the environment where the chemicals can migrate into our potable water supply.
The Wellfield Protection Program has existed since 1984 and has been a program in the Pollution Prevention Division (PPD) since 1990.

Mariah Carey has no plans to expand her family with husband Nick Cannon, because she is reluctant to bring up more children under the spotlight.
The superstar struggled through a tough pregnancy with two-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, falling ill with pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes, and although Cannon is keen to to their brood, the singer admits she is already learning how tough it can be for kids growing up in the public eye.
During an interview on talk show Watch What Happens Live, she explained, "If Nick could have the babies himself, then maybe (we'd have more children). We love kids...
"Here's the thing: I'm responsible for these children forever, so I look at it like they didn't ask for this lifestyle, here they are, and it is so different than just being like, 'OK, well bye, I'm going here now, we just did the show...'"

UC Hastings is building a world-class East Asian Legal Studies program.
UC Hastings professors often spend the summer or sabbaticals on research or teaching or studying abroad. Associate Professor Keith Hand made two recent trips to China to give lectures and hold exchanges with Chinese scholars and officials as part of an ongoing research project on China's system for resolving legislative conflicts.
Hand's research is part of UC Hastings' ongoing efforts to reach out to the Pacific Rim and build a comprehensive East Asian Legal Studies program.
"Each stop and meeting presents an opportunity to introduce UC Hastings to Chinese counterparts, expand our already strong reputation in the region, and build institutional and personal relationships that will advance the work of our faculty, students, and alumni," Hand said. Hand teaches Introduction to Chinese Law, China and the International Legal Order, and Legal Reform in East Asia at UC Hastings.
Hand's current research focuses on legislative conflicts in China. Since opening to the world in the late 1970s, China has produced an explosion of legislation in its effort to construct a socialist legal system.
But the rapid output has created a hodgepodge of legislation and led to what Hand characterizes as "severe legislative disorder." Legislative conflicts create uncertainty and instability for citizens and outsiders alike, and have hindered China's economic development.
In March, Hand traveled to Beijing to meet with constitutional and administrative law scholars and collect primary source materials. During this trip, he lectured on legislative conflicts at Beijing University Law School and gave a paper on constitutional dispute resolution in China at the Constitutionalism Workshop at the Chinese University of Politics and Law. In both cases, Hand presented in Chinese.
Hand returned to China in June for a series of meetings with senior scholars, legislative officials, judges and lawyers in Beijing and three Chinese provinces. He also met with United Nations Development Program officials managing cooperative programs on legal harmonization in China.
After exchanges with senior legislative and judicial officials in Beijing, Hand traveled to Hunan province, where he held discussions on legislative conflicts with officials at the Hunan Provincial People's Congress. Mr. Xie Yong, Vice-Chairman of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress, and six officials responsible for Hunan's provincial filing and review system hosted him for a discussion and a dinner.
The meeting was covered in the Hunan Daily and on the Hunan Provincial People's Congress website.
After leaving Hunan, Hand traveled to Northeastern University in Shenyang, Liaoning to give a lecture titled "Comparative Perspectives on the Resolution of Legislative Conflicts" to more than 120 students and faculty members at Northeastern University. Professor June Sui, a visiting scholar at UC Hastings in 2008-09, arranged the visit. During his stay, Hand introduced UC Hastings and its international programs to the audience and met with the dean of the law department, who invited Hastings professors to return and lecture in the future.
Hand ended his trip in Shanghai, where he met with senior constitutional law scholars and a member of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee.
"There is a gap between the law on paper and in practice in all systems, but this gap is particularly large in China," Hand said. "In conducting research on the Chinese legal systems, it is absolutely essential to get on the ground, collect original-language primary sources, and most importantly to talk in person with a wide range of legal actors. It is also important to get out of Beijing and into the provinces," Hand said.
Hand's research will help practitioners develop strategies to address legislative conflicts that affect their clients and to navigate China's complex conflict resolution system.
"In practice, legislative and administrative institutions with clear constitutional authority to cancel conflicting lower-level legislation rarely if ever exercise this formal authority. Conversely, courts have no formal constitutional authority to review legislation. However, they engage in a form of limited judicial review when they encounter legislative conflicts and decide on the appropriate law to apply to concrete disputes. These dynamics are the product of China's political culture and institutional capacity challenges. My research illuminates and explores these dynamics."
Building on the work of several scholars, including Hand, UC Hastings is building one of the most comprehensive East Asian Law programs in the United States. The college offers a full range of courses on the legal systems of China and Japan.
UC Hastings has also established student and faculty exchange programs with three of the most prestigious law schools in the region, including Beijing University Law School. Additionally, UC Hastings students have served internships with law firms and arbitration institutions in the region. "Our objective is to provide students with the knowledge, training, and contacts they need to take full advantage of the fantastic career opportunities across the Pacific Rim," said Chancellor and Dean Frank H. Wu.
Hand is teaching a survey course on China's legal system in the Fall 2012 semester. "I look forward to bringing these insights into the classroom," he said.
"The energy and opportunity of China's transformation has gripped me since my first trip to China in 1993," Hand said. "When one meets with Chinese officials and scholars, one can sense both their optimism and their concern about the complex challenges that China faces. This trip was no different."

Life without us.
Nicholas Hughes's photographic exploration of ocean currents and landscapes in Switzerland, Germany and along the British coastline convert static geography into visual contemplation. By approaching vast terrains and large bodies of water, his photography plays with notions of human absence, and the rift between the overdeveloped world and natural realm. His focus on plains, surfaces and boundaries reference the limits our civilization has placed on nature. The images are desolate, almost bleak, but there seems to be a calm about them. They seem to reassure us that the existence of life or the lack thereof is inconsequential to the universe.

Can men wear gold plated watches ?.
Praise be to Allaah.
That is permissible for women, but for men it is not permissible if the watch is gold or gold-plated, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Gold and silk are permitted for the females of my ummah and forbidden for the males." If it is imitation gold but is not really gold, it is still better for a man not to wear it, to protect his honour against accusations of going against the pure sharee'ah.

Confession: I'm afraid to turn off my cell phone.
Not because I'm afraid of being out of touch, mind you. Heck, I could care less if people can reach me. If you have something to tell me that's so important it would be worth interrupting Will and Grace, well, I think I'd rather have another 30 minutes of ignorant bliss before I find out about it. That's my motto: Will and Grace First, Earthquakes and Floods Later.
Here's why I'm afraid to turn off my cell phone: because I can't always seem to muster the brain cells necessary to turn it back on.
It has two buttons on it, a happy green button and a scary red button. They have funny icons on them that don't mean very much to me.
You might think that the green button turns it on. Green means go, right?
I tried that. Nothing doing. I tried pressing and holding the green button, because sometimes these phones want you to press-and-hold so that you won't accidentally take a picture of your ear, or disconnect the phone call in the middle of an important job interview, or whatnot.
It turns out it's the red button that turns it on.
When you press the red button, usually, nothing actually happens, so you suspect you might have done something wrong.
It turns out that you have, actually, turned on the phone, and if you're in a dark room, you would have noticed that the keyboard flashed when you turned it on. In a bright room, nothing happens for six seconds. That's usually long enough to think that you've done something wrong. So that's when I start trying the other buttons, like the happy green button. In any case, I wind up feeling frustrated and not in control of my life.
Once you do learn that the red button turns the phone on, and you don't have to hold it, you start to get frustrated that the time it takes the phone to boot up and load the pretty background picture and get on the network is something like 30 seconds. That's frustrating, too. It seems like in the Olden Days you didn't have to wait for half a minute to turn on an appliance. There was a switch, up was on (unless you lived in Europe, where they had a terrible war and couldn't afford appliances), you switched it, the thing went on and started spinning or shining or whatever it is that the thing was supposed to do. Instantly. End of story.
Indeed, it's surprising just how many of today's devices and gadgets and remote controls have actually made TVs, stoves, and telephones harder to use. Suddenly, bad computer user interface design is seeping into the entire world.
Six years ago, with the total dominance of the consistent graphical interface of Mac and Windows, it seemed like the state of the art in software UI design was getting pretty good. Nothing fabulous, mind you, but pretty good. You could sit down with a new Windows app that you'd never seen before and have a pretty good chance of being able to operate it correctly.
That's when I wrote a book called User Interface Design for Programmers, thinking, great! It's time to get everybody on the same page, here, about how we design user interfaces, and then life will be wonderful.
Unfortunately, that was about the same time as there was a huge wave of new consumer gadgets, and, of course, that web thing hit us.
The web didn't really have a standard UI. You could make anything be a link. We didn't have dropdown menus, so we made do with all kinds of differently-behaved simulations of dropdown menus.
Gadgets? Gadgets were even worse. They had tiny keyboards and tinier screens. Combined with rampant featuritis, these damn devices did more and more things but just figuring out how to do them took a degree in engineering (or a bright 12 year old, but slavery has been abolished, especially for 12 year olds.)
Maybe nobody told the people who design gadgets and gizmos and websites (and even software) that they need to work on their user interface skills.
So, this is their wake up call.
While most products were becoming increasingly incomprehensible, like the typical home entertainment remote control, with dozens of mushy little buttons marked "MTS" or "SURR" or "PTY" that nobody has any hope of understanding, something else was happening: a very few, very good designers were, somehow, coming up with truly great designs that were beautiful, easy to understand, fun, and which made people happy. You know who they are because those products became bestsellers. The Apple iPod. TiVo. Google. Even the Motorola RAZR, which is so hard to turn on, is, in most ways, a great design.
Over the next weeks and months, if all goes well, I'm going to write a series of articles right here, on this website, on UI design for the modern age. The whole series will be, tentatively, named Great Design.
If all goes well, we're going to look at some of the original principles of good UI design, much of which I covered in the first book, and revisit them and see how they apply to today's world of miniature gadgets, websites, and street-corner garbage cans.
Then, if we're really lucky, we're going even farther. We're going to look at what it takes to make the leap from a servicable, decent product design to a Mindbogglingly Great, Earth-Shaking, History-Changing product design. I have some theories about that, too.
Great Design: What is Design? (First Draft)
You're reading Joel on Software, stuffed with years and years of completely raving mad articles about software development, managing software teams, designing user interfaces, running successful software companies, and rubber duckies.
I'm Joel Spolsky, co-founder of Trello and Fog Creek Software, and CEO of Stack Overflow. More about me.

Honey-Glazed Cornish Hens with Ginger-Apple Salsa
Welcome to this month's post for the Kosher Linkup Challenge. This month's challenge is honey. Since the High Holy Days are coming fast, I thought to share a main course recipe with you, Dear Reader.
Apples dipped in honey is a traditional Rosh HaShana treat so I used the duo in creating this awesome Cornish hen dish. By the way, did you know that, according to The US Department of Agriculture, Cornish hens are not necessarily Cornish hens? They can be a cross with another chicken breed and still be called Cornish. In any case they usually weight around 2 pounds. But according to that other qualitative source, Empire, kosher Cornish hens are labeled Cornish broilers and can weigh as much as 3 1/2 pounds! So if you use a couple of kosher birds, this recipe makes up to 8 servings, a quarter per. If you find real Cornish hens, then allow an entire half per person so your guests shouldn't starve.
Back to the apples and honey. Ginger-apple salsa is sweet with a gentle crunchy kick from the ginger-red onion-cilantro mixture. I found myself tasting and re-tasting. Not to add anything, but because it is so delicious. The salsa recipe makes enough for 8 servings. If you have tiny birds, halve the recipe or expect to serve it the next day (add more cinnamon and pass the pita chips).
Honey-Glazed Cornish Hens with Ginger-Apple Salsa
Serves 4-8
Honey-Glazed Cornish Hens
2 cornish hens, halved (defrosted completely if frozen)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 Tbl. olive oil
Ginger-Apple Salsa
2 tart red or green apples, diced
1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
juice from 1 lime (approx. 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 packed cup chopped cilantro
For hens:
Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly oil the rack of a large roasting pan and place in the pan. Place hen halves, cut sides down on the prepared rack. Blot hens dry, then place pan in oven and roast for 15 minutes.
|Pasty white thighs.
Meanwhile, stir together the honey, apricot preserves, apple cider, ginger, pepper and olive oil. After 15 minutes, remove pan from oven and set on a heat-safe surface. Quickly baste hens with the honey mixture. Return pan to oven and continue to roast for 30 more minutes.
|Starting to really look good there.
Remove pan from oven and repeat basting.
|YEAH, baby!
Return pan to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until hens are golden brown and juices run clear when hen is pierced with the tip of a knife.
For Salsa:
Combine all ingredients. If not serving right away, cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use.
|Oops ... almost forgot the most important ingredient.
To serve, plate hens. If using kosher hens (which tend to run large), allow a quarter of a hen per serving, otherwise give each person an entire half.

In the Name of the God, the Compassionate and Infinitely Merciful
A gaffe by a Rick Santorum staffer says a lot. Speaking to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Monday, spokeswoman Alice Stewart said:
There is a type of theological secularism when it comes to the global warmists in this country. That's what he was referring to. He was referring to the president's policies in terms of the radical Islamic policies the president has.
She quickly called MSNBC after the segment and said she misspoke, actually meaning "radical environmental policies."
Ohhhh, I see! She meant environmental rather than Islamic.
This makes me wonder about a couple of things: first, does the spokeswoman's slip mean that – deep down – she thinks that President Obama really is a "secret Muslim"? And second, is the association between "radical" and "Islamic" so ingrained, so natural, that it can easily slip out of one's tongue? In either case, it makes me very sad.
It makes me very sad that still, in 2012, associating President Obama with Islam is used as a smear. It recently happened at a Rick Santorum campaign event, in fact, and Senator Santorum did not correct the person making the assertion. This is wrong. It is wrong to try to smear someone by wrongly accusing them of being Muslim (or Jewish, or Christian, or any other religious faith). We should have better respect for religious faith and choice than that.
It is equally sad that the association between "radical" and "Islamic," it seems, has indeed become so natural. Yes, the Muslim worldwide community has its radical elements: but so does every other religious community. Yes, extremists who called themselves Muslims attacked the country on 9/11: but so did extremists who were Christians in 1995 in Oklahoma City. Yes, there are Muslims who have been caught plotting terrorist attacks, but as a recent study shows, their numbers are dwindling and the threat from American Muslims has been exaggerated.
I wish religion and religious faith would be taken out of politics and the Presidential campaign. Whatever religion we choose to profess: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, or no "-ism" at all, it should not matter. That is a personal choice, and we must all have respect for each other's personal religious beliefs. That is what makes our country so wonderful: that we can live and work with people of all faiths in peace, harmony, and brotherhood.
It is the way that the Lord wanted us to live on earth, and so let us work to make His desire a reality.

During the past weeks, the tensions surrounding the Senkaku Islands [Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台)] have risen significantly. China has continued to send patrol ships into the area, often getting close to, or crossing over, the 12 nautical mile (22km) line marking the territorial waters surrounding the islands. Last month, China also sent a surveillance aircraft into the area, prompting Japan — which also claims the islands, and calls them the Senkakus — to scramble F-15s.
The escalation comes right after both Japan and China have gone through a leadership transition: Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (習近平) was appointed general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in November last year, while Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party won elections in December.
It is disheartening that in his first major foreign policy speech, given earlier this week to the CCP's politburo, Xi was highly assertive on China's claims, saying: "No foreign country should ever nurse hopes that we will bargain over our core national interests."
The way the term "core interests" has been used by Beijing reflects a rigid position: It has covered the harsh crackdowns in Tibet and East Turkestan as well as its inflexibility on Taiwan. While gradually pushing Taiwan into its unwelcome economic embrace, it has refused to take down and dismantle the 1,600 missiles aimed at Taiwan, thus maintaining the means to coerce the nation into submission.
China's increasing belligerence on the Senkaku issue has led the administration of US President Barack Obama to lean heavily on China and Japan. In mid-January, US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell led a heavyweight delegation to Tokyo and Beijing, urging cooler heads to prevail. A few days later, US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton — with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida standing beside her — stated that the Obama administration opposed "any unilateral actions that would seek to undermine Japanese administration" of the islands — a clear reference to China.
As the US clearly has its hands full trying to keep the situation under control, it would behoove Taiwan [which also claims the Diaoyutais] to try to calm the waters and not rock the boat. That is why it was so utterly incomprehensible that on Jan. 24, Taiwan allowed a fishing boat with activists to sail to the islands.
According to press reports, this fishing boat was accompanied by four Taiwanese coast guard vessels, resulting in a standoff with Japan Coast Guard vessels, which then led to a replay of the water cannon fight that occurred at the end of September last year.
It must be emphasized that this is not responsible policy. These kinds of provocative actions are not helpful, and damage Taiwan's interests in the region and its relations with the US. It estranges Taiwan from its democratic neighbors and undermines the nation's image in Washington: It needs to be seen as playing a constructive role, not stirring up trouble.
As I have stated before, it is essential that Taiwan remains on good terms with the democracies in the region, the US, Japan and South Korea. That in itself will help safeguard its existence as a free and democratic nation. China is not democratic, and thus, appearing to move in line with Beijing's position and against Japan's will undermine freedom and democracy in Taiwan.

Ah, the North American International Auto Show begins this week begins this week in Detroit. At least 50 new car models will make their debuts. Ford Motors is unveiling its highly anticipated makeover of the F-150 with a body made in part of aluminum - an aluminum truck.
Recent advances have made aluminum, which is lighter than steel, of course, viable on a large scale for manufacturing.
One of our favorite correspondents, NPR's Sonari Glinton, reports on what that means for the car industry.
SONARI GLINTON, BYLINE: Before I got to the Detroit Auto Show, I wanted to get a refresher course. There was all this talk about aluminum in trucks and I wanted to find out, well, what that meant.
MARGARET WOOLDRIDGE: It's all fuel economy. So there's two ways of address fuel economy. You can either make the vehicle lighter or your can improve the power train efficiency.
GLINTON: That's Margaret Wooldridge, she's a professor in the University of Michigan's Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department. She's going to talk about the materials you can use building a car, and in this case, aluminum.
WOOLDRIDGE: So aluminum is significantly lighter, it has a lower density than steel. So this is a practice that's called lightweighting vehicles, and that's exactly what the purpose is, is to make the vehicle lighter and improve the fuel economy.
GLINTON: Not only was aluminum lighter - about a third as much - but it was about three times as expensive. Margaret Wooldridge says it was also more difficult to work with. But she says in the last few years, there's whole host of slow, incremental innovations that's made aluminum easier to use in manufacturing and new fuel economy standards added an incentive despite the expense.
WOOLDRIDGE: But now, you need to meet fuel economy regulations, and so you go after technologies that are more expensive but give you that payback in terms of fuel economy.
GLINTON: OK. So back here at the auto show, all the carmakers are scrambling to make their fleets more fuel efficient in different ways. Ford decided to make its best-selling and most important vehicle, the F-150, several hundred pounds lighter.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Ladies and gentleman, let's take a look at the all new F-150.
GLINTON: Ford has been experimenting with aluminum in vehicles for years. But with its best selling truck, Ford is making a clear statement by something other carmakers aren't doing on a large scale.
Alan Mulally, the CEO of Ford, says the company is not going to stop with the F150.
ALAN MULALLY: I think over time we'll see more and more aluminum across our entire product line. But clearly, the real value, initially, is on the larger vehicles because you can take the most weight out. But over time, we'll see aluminum go across the whole product line. Absolutely.
GLINTON: Ford executives admit that there was a learning curve in dealing with aluminum but they promise a new truck in showrooms in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile Jake Fisher with Consumer Reports says in many ways aluminums has its advantages. But he says there are still questions to be asked before the trucks go mainstream.
JAKE FISHER: The issue, of course, is going to be crash damage. It's a better material so it's going to weather better, probably not going to rust as much, aluminum doesn't. But if you get into a wreck, it going to be interesting to see what the replacement panels are going to be. Also, if you go to a normal body shop, are they going to have the materials to work with in aluminum?
GLINTON: Fisher says cost could be an issue for customers.
FISHER: If you buy a Tesla at $90,000, you might expect that it might be expensive to buy those body panels. If you buy an F-150, which is the best-selling car in America, you might be surprised to have to pay a lot of money for a new fender.
GLINTON: But Fisher says if the gamble on the F-150 goes well, you could be making your morning commuter in an aluminum body car.

For Alexandra Stupple '13, her upcoming trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, allows her to see history in the making. And it is some of the most controversial history of our modern era.
Stupple, 36, is part of a team of observers sent by the National Institute for Military Justice (NIMJ), the ACLU and other NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) to watch pre-trial hearings of Abd al-Nashiri, the senior Al Qaeda lieutenant alleged to be the mastermind behind the deadly suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen in 2000. She leaves Feb. 15 for Washington, D.C., where she will board a military plane Feb. 16 at Andrews Air Force Base, bound for Cuba.
One law professor who has reported for Harper's Magazine from Guantanamo has called al-Nashiri's upcoming trial before a military commission on the Cuban base "the most significant to come before a military court since high functionaries of the Third Reich stood trial in occupied Germany."
Provost & Academic Dean Elizabeth L. Hillman, who teaches military law, is president of NIMJ. Hillman nominated Stupple, a UC Hastings graduate who was a student in Hillman's class, to the all-volunteer observer force. It is a perk that goes to few law students or recent graduates; most observer slots are snapped up by practicing lawyers and other activists. But because the brief that Stupple worked on for NIMJ in her military law class and because Stupple made herself available at short notice to attend the hearing, Stupple is the second in her class to go to Guantanamo Bay, or "Gitmo," as it has been dubbed. Ryan Williams '12 traveled performed a similar role in April 2012.
"Superb Student"
"Alex was a superb student and she's well-prepared to translate the proceedings at GITMO to an audience that will never have a chance to see firsthand what goes on there. Observing the military commission process through the lens of military justice is like looking through glass block; you can barely make out what's happening in a lengthy and distorted process. Military commissions follow rules that are a far cry from U.S. court-martial that we studied in our military law class."
Stupple, who grew up in Saudi Arabia, where her parents taught English, and later lived in China, was captivated by the opportunity as soon as she learned of it.
"Like Watching Nuremberg"
"Professor Hillman mentioned it in class, and Ryan and I immediately volunteered. I couldn't imagine not wanting to go. It's a historical event, on par with the Nuremberg trials and that of Slobodan Milošević. It's a very rare opportunity."
Stupple went on to take Terrorism and the Law with Professor Aaron Rappaport and Jonathan Schmidt, and, with two other UC Hastings students, wrote an amicus brief for NIMJ in US v Behenna for the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces. Behenna, a U.S. Army lieutenant serving north of Baghdad, shot and killed a detainee during an unauthorized interrogation. He was charged with murder and convicted. Stupple's amicus argued that the prosecution did not turn over information favorable to the defense in a timely manner.
The military commission proceedings Stupple will attend have drawn a press pool and observers from around the world, and are documented by famed war artist Steven Mumford, whose work is at turns deeply visceral, eerie, and pastoral. They take place in a windowless aluminum structure described as looking like a Costco. The proceedings are on a 40-second tape-delay, so a judge can screen material to protect national security interests. The judge is a military judge, and the prosecutor in the case is a Judge Advocate General (JAG). Stupple will watch the proceedings during the day, taking notes, and file a report each evening for the National Institute on Military Justice.
"Enemy Combatants"
al-Nashiri is one of the few men in Guantanamo to be charged with a crime. Most of the detainees are being held as "enemy combatants" and have not been charged with war crimes. At its height, GITMO held nearly 800 men. It has been plagued by allegations of inhumane conditions, torture--including waterboarding, hunger strikes involving force-feeding of detainees, and numerous detainee suicides.
al-Nashiri's lawyer is a civilian criminal defense attorney from Indianapolis, Richard Kammen, who keeps a small gray stuffed toy marsupial on the defense table and wears a pin depicting a kangaroo where most lawmakers wear their American flag pin. "It seems to me he enjoys challenging the government," Stupple said.
Supporters of the camp and its practices argue that certain protections of the Third Geneva Convention do not apply to Taliban or Al Qaeda fighters. The CIA has admitted al-Nashiri has been subjected to waterboarding, Stupple said. "Conditions at GITMO and the U.S.'s approach to justice for detainees remains one of the most hotly debated human rights issues of our generation," Stupple said.
To prepare for her post, Stupple has been reading reports from other independent observers, and is studying the Military Commission Rules of Evidence and other academic articles about military justice.
A previously scheduled trip was postponed when Kammen had a scheduling conflict with a capital case. She will stay for six days in MASH-style six-person tents and eat at the mess hall with guards and other enlisted personnel. "I know there is a Taco Bell and a beach. I don't know if we are allowed to go to the beach."
The tents and Quonset huts are "super cold," she said she's been told. "The military loves their air conditioning. They told me to bring a lot of sweatshirts." She paused. "I just can't imagine any of it not being weird."
This is the most exotic destination Stupple has visited. "I've traveled a lot, but this is a chance to go to a really strange place that not a lot of people get to go. I've never done anything like this. I've only been to court in San Francisco."
"It's the chance of a lifetime."

Follow Alex (@Tingwall) live at #AlexGITMO on Twitter. We'll post photos from her trip here, if allowed.
"You aren't even allowed to draw anything," Stupple said.

The Crocodiles show at The Firebird on Wednesday has had a lot of coverage in the last couple of days, mostly because it didn't happen. You can read more about it on the RFT's blog A To Z, which posted an initial report here and followed up with Crocodiles' response here. Listening to the interview post-show kind of reinforces my understanding that it was a shitty situation, and that neither party is to blame (The Firebird handled the situation phenomenally and it's certainly not going to stop me from seeing shows there).
The band says right off the bat that they love playing shows in St. Louis, and they came across as approachable and interesting guys, at least to me. Anyway, if nothing else, it adds another dimension to the scenario (the interview took place 2 hours before the show started).

VATICAN CITY — A southern Italian archbishop has proposed a 10-year moratorium on the naming of godfathers in a bid to stem the way mob bosses use the "padrino" system to spread their influence and authority to the next generation.
Monsignor Giuseppe Fiorini Morosini, archbishop of Reggio Calabria, spoke with Pope Francis about the proposal last weekend while he was in Rome.
In a statement Monday, he said the pontiff asked the bishops of Calabria to discuss the idea and send him a written proposal.
Godparents are named when a baby is baptized and they promise to help raise the child in the Catholic faith.
Fiorini Morosini has argued that, in Calabria at least, godparents are less theological role models than "points of reference" and mob friends.
Calabria is home to the 'ndrangheta organized crime syndicate, considered the most powerful mob in Italy.
As in "The Godfather" films, which depicted the influence of "padrini" in the Sicilian Mafia, ties of blood, marriage and godparents help weave the tight, clannish bonds that keep the 'ndrangheta almost impenetrable to outsiders.
Fiorini Morosini said he wrote Francis a proposal asking to abolish the naming of godparents for 10 years "to prevent the exploitation of the church and her sacraments by the 'ndrangheta."
Initially Francis rejected the proposal, but he appeared to have rethought the matter after visiting Calabria last month and seeing the reality of the land, the archbishop said.
During Francis' June 21 visit, he issued his strongest denunciation yet of organized crime, excommunicating all mobsters for their "adoration of evil."
It wasn't his first outburst: During a March meeting with victims of the Mafia in Rome, Francis warned mobsters they risk going to hell if they don't repent.

It's Giannoulias vs. Kirk for Obama's old Senate seat… Quinn leads by 7,000 in the Dem IL Gov race, while Brady has a 503-vote lead (!!!) on the GOP side… It wasn't a bad thing to be an establishment candidate in the statewide contests, but the same wasn't true in the House contests… Denny Hastert's son lost… Ex-GOP Sen. Dan Coats to challenge Evan Bayh… White House pushes back on security… And House and Senate play Alphonse and Gaston on health care.
From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali Weinberg
*** What we learned: So what did we learn from the primary contests in Illinois last night? For starters, in the statewide races, it wasn't a bad thing to be the establishment candidate. State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias (D) and Congressman Mark Kirk (R) won their respective Senate primaries, setting up a very competitive contest in November for Barack Obama's old Senate seat. We also learned that we don't have a winner in the gubernatorial races -- yet. On the Democratic side, sitting Gov. Pat Quinn leads challenger Dan Hynes by slightly more than 7,000 votes with 99% of precincts reporting. In the GOP contest, state Sen. Bill Brady leads fellow State Sen. Kirk Dillard by just 503 votes (!!!), with Andy McKenna and Jim Ryan closely behind. We also learned that the conservative/Tea Party candidates in the statewide contests didn't have much a bite. In the Senate GOP primary, Patrick Hughes got just 19% of the vote, while Adam Andrzejewski finished fifth in the GOP gubernatorial race. Finally, we learned that turnout was down, especially compared with the last time (2004) there was a wide-open Senate field. If you a build a primary in a February (in a non-presidential year), they won't come. It was the DEAD of winter.
*** On the House side: But if it wasn't harmful to be an establishment candidate in the statewide contests, that wasn't necessarily true on the House side. In IL-14, Ethan Hastert was unable to win his father's old congressional seat (following in the footsteps of Dick Armey's son). In IL-10 (Kirk's seat), the more conservative Republican Robert Dold beat the more moderate Elizabeth Coulson, setting up a competitive general election against Dan Seals (D), who will see if three times is finally the charm. And in IL-11, Adam Kinzinger won the GOP primary for the right to challenge Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D). By the way, for those keeping score on these things, it was another bad night for EMILY's List; it candidates in the Senate race (Cheryle Jackson) and IL-10 (Julie Hamos) both lost. Also on the House side -- but in Florida -- state Sen. Ted Deutch won the Democratic primary for Robert Wexler's (D) congressional seat. The general election there takes place April 13.
*** Grabbing Coats out of the political closet: Outside of Illinois (and Florida), the biggest political news last night came in Indiana, where we learned ex-GOP Sen. Dan Coats plans to challenge Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh. As Democrats have reminded us, Coats is far from a perfect GOP recruit -- he left the Senate in 1999 (fearful of facing the popular Bayh), and also has served as a lobbyist. But what Coats does is put yet another Senate seat in play for the Republicans. They now have eight legitimate pick-up opportunities, in ND, DE, NV, CO, AR, IL, PA, and IN. But to be able take back control of the Senate, Republicans now have to put AT LEAST two of these states in play: CA, CT, OR, WA, WI, and NY. Coats' entry also is going to frustrate the Obama White House. Make no mistake, Bayh is the front-runner in this contest, but if the White House thinks Bayh's recent statements have been problematic, just think what it's going to look like now that he has a serious challenger. In short, Coats' entry is at the least a legislative victory for Senate Republicans.
*** Administration pushes back: Yesterday, we really saw the Obama administration push back against the GOP critiques about 1) trying 9/11 suspected terrorists in civilian courts, and 2) that the alleged Christmas Day bomber stopped talking after he was read his Miranda rights. In fact, it was Maine Sen. Susan Collins – of all people – who delivered last weekend's blistering GOP radio address: "Abdulmutallab was questioned for less than one hour before the Justice Department advised him that he could remain silent and offered him an attorney at our expense. Once afforded the protection our Constitution guarantees American citizens, this foreign terrorist 'lawyered up' and stopped talking." But as NBC reported yesterday, citing officials close to the case, Abdulmutallab has begun talking again. And the methods used to get him to talk, according to the administration, was longstanding FBI practices -- in this case using Abdulmutallab's family. The administration argues that Abdulmutallab would have been less cooperative had he faced an interrogator in a military uniform. Of course, this won't end the debate; it just adds more nuance to something that it appears is never as black and white as some would like to believe.
*** Playing Alphonse and Gaston on health care: It likely won't provide the political theater that Friday's Q&A with House Republicans did, but President Obama addresses Senate Democrats at their meeting in DC at 10:00 am ET. And what is said about health care could be the most interesting news at the meeting. NBC's Ken Strickland reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told bloggers yesterday that the Senate would have to pass a health-care bill first -- via reconciliation -- that addressed House Democrats concerns before the House would vote on a final health care bill. But a few house later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid insisted he didn't know how that could happen, procedurally. "We can't go first. I don't know a way procedurally we can start a reconciliation," Reid said to reporters as he left a meeting in Pelosi's office. "If somebody could figure it out and tell me, I'd be happy to take a look at it." Reid countered, Strick adds, that it was more likely the House would pass a reconciliation bill with its desired fixes first, and then send it to the Senate. "Yes, that seems like a strong possibility.
*** A matter of Anti-trust: Meanwhile, House Democratic leadership officials confirm to First Read that they are going ahead with a stand-alone vote next week to repeal the anti-trust exemption for health-insurance companies. A repeal was included in the House's health reform legislation, but they're going forward with a stand-alone measure, signaling the beginning of a larger effort to break up the bill and put Republicans on record on potentially politically popular measures. "They can side with their constituents or the insurance giants," one House Democratic aide said.
*** Another busy day on the Hill: It's another busy day on Capitol Hill. Defense Secretary Gates, Labor Secretary Solis, Transportation Secretary LaHood, Treasury Secretary Geithner, and OMB Director Orszag fan out to testify on the FY2011 budget. Also, HHS Secretary Sebelius goes before the Senate Finance Committee to talk about health care. And DNI Director Blair talks to the House Intelligence Committee.
*** A programming note: MSNBC's "Daily Rundown," which airs beginning at 9:00 am ET, has an interview with top White House domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes. And MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" has GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Orrin Hatch.

5 reasons to employ a patient-focused strategy
When promoting an orphan drug, don't overlook the power that patients and caregivers can have on your brand.
Launching an orphan drug can be vastly different from launching a big blockbuster brand. Any brand manager operating in the rare disease space could probably rattle off some unique challenges he or she faces—limited budgets, small patient populations, lack of disease awareness—to name just a few.
But the single most important factor to consider, and one you don't want to overlook, is the powerful influence of the patient (or caregiver) on the success of your brand and how it will be perceived in the market.
Brand managers of orphan drugs should consider the patients' needs to be a top priority when deciding where to spend their marketing dollars. A thorough understanding of patients' lives and how they are affected by their disease can go a long way in helping create a meaningful presence in the market.
Here are some of the main reasons to employ a patient-focused strategy:
- Small patient populations. Unlike products for widespread conditions—like hypertension, reflux, depression—orphan drugs are used to treat rare diseases, which by definition affect less than 200,000 people in the US ("ultra" orphan affects less than 10,000). Therefore, the consistent growth of your brand depends on finding and subsequently retaining patients.
- Educated patients/caregivers. People with rare diseases and/or their caregivers are usually well educated about their condition, often more so than the healthcare professionals they go to for help. There are simply too many rare diseases, affecting too few people, for physicians to know and understand them all. Helping patients find the right specialist and accurate information should be a number one priority.
- Patient influence on treatment. Patients with rare diseases have more input into their treatment plans. In addition to being educated about their conditions, these patients also tend to be heavily involved in their care. By managing their expectations, helping them stay compliant, and making sure they are aware of potential side effects, you can help ensure they have a positive experience with your brand.
- Strong ties to advocacy groups. When seeking credible and reliable disease information for their rare conditions, patients tend to establish strong relationships with each other and with advocacy groups such as NORD or PAG. Within these groups, patients share their knowledge and experiences, some of which may involve interactions with your corporation or brand. Keeping the lines of communication open can help you manage perceptions.
- Greater burden of disease. There is often an increased burden placed on people with rare diseases and their families. Many patients face high copays, extended hospital stays, and the need for specialized equipment or services. It may also be more difficult for these patients to lead normal, productive lives due to their condition. Any lifestyle support you can provide these patients and their families can have a tremendous impact on improving their quality of life.
Keep in mind that employing a heavily patient-focused strategy doesn't mean you should ignore the importance of the specialist's role on the success of your product launch. He or she will also be a critical player in making treatment decisions and managing patients' treatment paths.
Lastly, brand managers of orphan drugs would benefit highly from choosing an agency with experience in the rare disease category. A qualified agency, particularly one experienced in building patient relationships, can provide invaluable guidance and advice during launch.

Wall Street faces intrusive new government oversight of trading after U.S. regulators issued what they billed as a stricter Volcker rule today, imposing restrictions designed to prevent blowups while leaving many of the details to be worked out later.
The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and three other agencies are set to sign off today on the proprietary trading ban, which has been contested by JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and their industry allies for more than three years. Agencies were proceeding with plans to release the rule in Washington even as a snowstorm forced the federal government to close.
Wall Street's lobbying paid off in part. Regulators granted a broader exemption for banks' market-making desks, on the condition that traders aren't paid in a way that rewards proprietary trading, according to the final rule released today. The regulation also exempts some securities tied to foreign sovereign debt. At the same time, regulators gave banks less leeway for bets considered hedges for other risks.
"This provision of the Dodd-Frank Act has the important objective of limiting excessive risk-taking by depository institutions and their affiliates," Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said today in a statement. "The ultimate effectiveness of the rule will depend importantly on supervisors, who will need to find the appropriate balance while providing feedback to the board on how the rule works in practice."
The Fed gave banks a delay until July 21, 2015 to comply with rule. Beginning June 30, 2014, banks with $50 billion in consolidated assets and liabilities must report quantitative information about their trading.
Volcker's Idea
The rule is named for Paul Volcker, the former Fed chairman credited with taming rampant inflation in the 1970s and who served as a top adviser to President Barack Obama. Volcker, 86, proposed the ban as a means of restoring stability to Wall Street following the 2008 financial crisis, arguing that banks that benefit from federal deposit insurance and discount borrowing shouldn't be permitted to take risks that could trigger a taxpayer-funded government bailout.
The rule, enshrined by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, allows exemptions for market-making and some hedging, and defines limits for banks' investments in private equity and hedge funds. The version issued today is 71 pages long, with an additional 850-page preamble.
"Nobody went to jail after the Wall Street meltdown," said Jim Antos, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong. "And maybe, the particular way they're wording this ensures that nobody is ever going to go to jail. You're getting diplomatic immunity and you don't even have to be a foreign diplomat. Fantastic."
The biggest U.S. banks slid in pre-market trading. JPMorgan Chase & Co. declined 0.4% to $56.28 at 8:56 a.m. in New York, and Bank of America Corp. shares fell 0.3% to $15.53. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. slid 0.7% to $166.45 and Morgan Stanley fell 0.2% to $30.32.
Fine Print
With Wall Street banks having already shut proprietary trading desks in anticipation of the rule, its impact rests largely in the fine print -- how regulators address other banking activities, primarily market-making and hedging.
The rule by the Fed, FDIC, Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency sets parameters for how banks may buy and sell financial products for clients and manage their own risks in the process.
Wall Street's five largest firms had as much as $44 billion in revenue at stake on the outcome of just one part of the debate -- how market-making is defined and exempted -- according to data for the year ended Sept. 30. JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. lender by assets, had as much as $11.4 billion riding on the answer.
Here are summaries of five of the rule's major provisions:

Imagine how excellent your performance can be in the office when you are comfortable and the same thing can be said about your employees and colleges as well. The less the number of people, complaining constantly about aches and back pains etc, the better it will be for you to lead the team and everyone will be able to work in peace. So use some help if you have to, but make sure that the right chairs are chosen in order to increase the work efficiency.
There are tons of chairs in the market, but there is no definite chair that suits everybody. It all depends on your size and how long you will be sitting on the it. Meshed, plastic, metal, wooden, foamed, fabric, or leather - all of these will give you different levels of comfort. Leather chairs, for example, are some of the most popular because they cushion your back and bottom evenly. They are also easy to maintain because they are waterproof. If you accidentally spill your coffee on a lether it, you can just wipe it and sit on it again without having to wait for it to dry up. The same thing goes with fabric upholstered chairs.

So good, scary, creepy. Love it.
Good movie. :)
It was so scary that I jumped up from my seat several times.
Enjoyed the movie from the beginning till the end.
I went to see the movie with my co-workers and everyone loves it.
The best of Stephen King's movie.
very creepy and scary
Imagine you are are paying full price to watch a bunch of kids (instead of your loved famous movie idols or celebrities) running around with no acting experience and pretending that they are scared or feared of something which is a totally childish thing for an adult to see it. Especially the story was so weak and badly performed. Forget about it as we are wasting too much money and time. Let move on!
Good movie. Kids did an amazing job. Love the clown creepy perverted face.
Please add a comma after family. Makes more senses
Use this rather than these. Check your grammar and your reviews please.
Like one of review saying that the scariest part is once you realize that you are paying full price for this crap.

The White House Office of Management and Budget says President Barack Obama would veto the measure if it reached his desk. The budget office also say the White House opposes joining that legislation with a proposal to pay federal workers who have had to remain at their posts during the government shutdown.
Without congressional action, those workers would miss their next regularly scheduled paycheque on Oct. 15.
House Republican leaders unveiled the joint proposals Tuesday.
In a statement, the White House urged the House to reopen the government and pass an increase in the debt ceiling without conditions.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
President Barack Obama says he's fighting the budget battle because "we can't make extortion routine as part of our democracy."
Obama says he's willing to not only negotiate fiscal issues with Republicans, but changes to health care law. But he says first he wants them to pass a bill to stop a partial government shutdown.
Obama noted in a news conference at the White House Tuesday that the shutdown already made him cancel a trip to Asia this week. He argued the shutdown is hurting U.S. credibility around the world and — quote — "makes it look like we don't have our act together."

pinch kosher salt
tablespoon olive oil
tablespoon milk
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees (F)
- Roll out the pie dough onto a greased cookie sheet or a floured pizza stone.
- Add a thin layer of prosciutto on top of the crust, leaving a 1-2 inch ring of dough exposed.
- Spread the ricotta cheese on top of the prosciutto. Drizzle with honey.
- Toss the peaches in the olive oil and salt. Lay the peaches on top of the cheese.
- Fold the exposed crust over the layered peaches and cheese. Brush the crust with milk. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
- When the crust starts to brown, remove the tart from the oven and sprinkle sliced prosciutto on top of the peaches, tucking pieces into the peaches and the crust. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
- Cook the tart for 5 more minutes then remove and allow to come to room temperature. Slice and serve!

Possibly one of the best places in the capital reigon of New York to get one's high school education. Schenectady has a bad reputation compared to that of the nearby Niskayuna High School, whose diversity consists of three asian students., but that is only because the local newpapers don't know how to accurately report anything. For example, when a Niskayuna pothead was caught growing marijuana in his closet, it was reported as the crime of a "local student" but when a Schenectady student starts a food fight, you can basically find they're whole biography in the article. People fail to notice that almost all student in these suburban schools are complete druggies or go out and get drunk every weekend at college parties where thirteen-year-old girls give blowjobs to every guy they meet. People also fail to recognize that Schenectady High has a very elaborate fine arts, physical education, technology, and science wings and is also in the top 5% of high schools in the nation as far as variety of class offerings go. It is also currently the only school in the capital reigon to offer a full International Baccalaureate diploma with which a certain someone, got accepted into Yale. On top of that the diversity is mind-blowing and well prepares you for all of the different types of people you will meet in life. So, top that Niskayuna and all of you other suburban schools whose success is nothing more than a cover-up of your weaknesses.
"Oh my God, did you hear about that riot at Schenectady High School? They have shootings like every day!"
"Oh my God, did you hear that girl that graduated last year from Schenectady High School got accepted into Yale?!?!"
"Oh my God, did you hear that girl that graduated last year from Schenectady High School got accepted into Yale?!?!"
