NEW YORK (AP) — Sure, "Cinderella" is a fairy tale. But still, wouldn't it feel just a tad more realistic if Cinderella and her Prince had a bit more time to get to know each other before falling madly in love? That meeting at the ball has always seemed a little, well, rushed.
That's just one of the intriguing variations that popular choreographer Christopher Wheeldon has made in his new "Cinderella," which hits New York's Lincoln Center next week, via the San Francisco Ballet. Here, Cinderella and the prince get to know each other a little before they even get to the ball, and Wheeldon gets to play up the parallels in their lives.
"I was interested in the idea that they have similar circumstances," says Wheeldon. "They meet and recognize similar qualities in each other. She's trapped in this familial environment that is vitriolic, whereas he's feeling trapped with his responsibilities. All he wants is to fall in love and be a normal guy. I thought of the royal princes today in the UK."
Just how the two meet before the ball, and who each think the other is, is better saved for the viewing. But it's not the only change Wheeldon has made to the most familiar ballet version: Frederick Ashton's, for the Royal Ballet in 1948. Wheeldon notes that he's based his version not on the lighter (and more familiar) Perrault version of the tale, but the later — and darker — Brothers Grimm version. As for the prince-Cinderella early meeting, he took that from the 19th-century Rossini opera. (The music, though, will be familiar to many: Wheeldon uses the well-known Prokofiev score.)
The 40-year-old British choreographer is one of the busiest in the business. Just this week, it was announced he'd be directing a new stage musical aimed at Broadway, "An American in Paris," based on the Oscar-winning film (a premiere is planned for December 2014 in Paris, with an eye to Broadway in 2015.) Wheeldon has the role of artistic associate at the Royal Ballet in London, but he's best known for his many works for New York City Ballet, where he also was a dancer.
"Cinderella," though, is from neither New York nor London. A joint production of the San Francisco Ballet, with which Wheeldon also has a long association, and the Dutch National Ballet, it premiered in Amsterdam last December and played in San Francisco in May, where it earned largely glowing reviews and sold out its run.
"Oh my gosh, standing room was five deep," says Helgi Tomasson, director of the San Francisco troupe. He attributes the popularity to several factors: enthusiasm for Wheeldon's work, advance word of its highly colorful and distinctive look, and, of course, the universally known story.
Indeed, it's a reality these days that the name "Cinderella" — or "Swan Lake," or "Nutcracker" — can fill a huge theater with eager families, and company directors need to consider the economics of the situation, particularly when creating a full-length production with elaborate sets and costumes. Still, say both Wheeldon and Tomasson, there's enough that's new and different about this "Cinderella" to more than justify a new version of the old tale.
"We all know Ashton's, but Chris wanted this one to be different," Tomasson says, "and he succeeded. Visually it's stunning to look at. The choreography is beautiful. And there's a real sense of magic in these changes that happen right before your eyes."
He's referring to the noted sets, which include, among many things, a tree that transforms into Cinderella's chariot to take her to the ball. That tree is connected to a central force of the story: Cinderella's late mother.
"The tree grows at Cinderella's mother's grave," Wheeldon says. "It becomes the magical essence of Cinderella's love for her mother." Also stemming from that tree are four "Fates," who together serve as a Fairy Godmother.
And what of the choreography? Principal dancer Sarah Van Patten, who plays Cinderella and, in other performances, one of the ugly stepsisters, says it feels "organic."
"You feel like you can breathe with the movement," she says. "It really comes across when the choreography makes you feel light."
"It's really stunning to watch," she adds of the entire production. "Even when I'm dancing it, I'm thinking, 'Wow, this is impressive.'"

For the past three seasons, the left side of LSU's infield has been in the capable hands of shortstop Austin Nola and third baseman Tyler Hanover.
But what could fairly be described as the Nola-Hanover era came to an end when both ran out of eligibility after last season. When the Tigers host Maryland to open the season Friday night in Alex Box Stadium, not only will the left side of the infield feature new starters, it will have first-year players.
Meet Alex Bregman and Christian Ibarra. They're not the new Nola and Hanover, but they are the new left side of the infield.
Nola's spot has been inherited by freshman Bregman, the marquee recruit in this year's class. Hanover's spot has been inherited by a less-heralded but more-experienced player in junior-college transfer Ibarra.
"I'm used to seeing Nola and Hanover over there," senior first baseman Mason Katz said. "But I'm used to coming to practice and seeing our shortstop out there doing extra work to get better, and Bregman does that just like Austin did. He really works hard.
"Ibarra can hit, but he's a really good defensive player. Plus he's short (5-foot-7), so that shouldn't make a difference," Katz said, referring to Hanover's diminutive size.
Bregman will bat third and is expected to add pop to the LSU batting order, though it's understood that his defense won't match Nola's. Coach Paul Mainieri has routinely said Nola is the best defensive shortstop he has coached in 30 years, and he said Bregman is adequate and likely to get better defensively.
Though he's from Albuquerque, N.M., Bregman called playing at LSU "a lifelong dream." He followed the Tigers' success over the years, especially the most recent College World Series title in 2009.
"I think he's a really mature and advanced hitter for his age," hitting coach Javi Sanchez said of Bregman. "He's got a great feel for the strike zone and a great understanding of the game. Hitting comes very, very natural to him."
Hitting might not come as naturally to Ibarra, who came in with above-average defensive credentials, but his hitting did catch Sanchez's eye in the fall.
"I definitely placed a value on his glove and his defensive ability to play the left side of the infield," Sanchez said of Ibarra's recruitment. "I thought the bat was going to be a lighter aspect of his game, but he stuck his nose in during the fall and demonstrated some qualities that good hitters have. He stays on through the ball. He's got some juice for a little guy, he's got some bat speed, and he's not afraid to go deep into counts."
Katz will play first this year after splitting time between there and the outfield last season. The Tigers' top source of power (13 home runs) a year ago has moved to the fifth spot in the batting order as Bregman steps into the three hole.
But Mainieri said the key to how far LSU goes this season could be determined largely by how much a pair of juniors who are third-year starters develop: second baseman JaCoby Jones and catcher Ty Ross.
"It's time for them to really emerge. This is it," Mainieri said. "I highly expect this to be the last year for both of them. I expect them to be drafted and go into professional baseball this year. If both of those kids can take their game to another level, it could be the difference for our team."
Jones (.253, four homers, 29 RBIs last season) is expected to bat sixth, and Ross (.292, three homers, 41 RBIs) will be somewhere in the bottom third, but Mainieri thinks both can be significant run-producers.
"We've been starting here for the last two years, and it's our junior year now," Ross said. "So we have to step up as leaders and lead the way for this whole team along with Mason Katz and (outfielder) Raph Rhymes."
Jones said he has been working on shortening his swing, especially with two strikes on him, to try and cut down on his strikeouts (47 in 245 at-bats last season).
"I'm going to the opposite field a lot more," Jones said. "I'm recognizing pitches earlier and not trying to pull everything. I'm a lot more comfortable. I used to panic when I'd get two strikes, now I trust my hands. I know my hands are fast, and it's paid off for me."
Sanchez said Jones looks more mature than he did a year ago.
"Last year when he'd get behind 0-2 or 1-2, he'd chase a slider in the dirt," Sanchez said. "Now he's driving it through the infield."
Mainieri said he knows he'll have to live with Jones' strikeouts; but if there are fewer of them, it will be a good sign for LSU.
"When you swing hard, sometimes you're not going to make as consistent contact as somebody like (Rhymes), who just slaps the ball all over field," Mainieri said. "But there's no doubt JaCoby has gotten better. If he puts it all together, he'll put this team on his shoulders and carry it to (the College World Series). He's capable of it."
Senior Casey Yocom provides depth at second, third and short. Sophomore Tyler Moore from Dunham is Ross' primary backup and can play at either corner. Newcomers Chris Chinea and Michael Barash also provide depth at first and catcher, and like Moore, might see action as the designated hitter from time to time.

PASADENA, Md. (AP) — Anne Arundel County police say two dogs were shot by officers after attacking a 7-year-old boy.
Police say the dogs were shot Saturday afternoon after they received a call from the boy's aunt. Police spokesman Lt. James Fredericks said that when an officer arrived a few minutes later, the two American bulldogs were still attacking the boy.
Fredericks said one dog was shot as it continued to attack the child and the other was shot when it turned on the officer. The two dogs were later euthanized.
The unidentified boy was flown to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The police spokesman said he did not know the extent of the child's injuries or his condition.

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a disease in which the heart's natural pacemaker located in the upper right heart chamber (right atrium) becomes damaged and is no longer able to generate normal heartbeats at the normal rate. It may be a result of other medical conditions that damage the sinoatrial node (SA node) over time or may be a result of certain medicines. This can result in heartbeats that are too slow, too fast, or heartbeats that alternate between slow and fast.
You may have sick sinus syndrome with few or no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they may include:
Your healthcare provider may suspect sick sinus syndrome based on your symptoms, but they are common in many other diseases. To diagnose your condition, your healthcare provider will do an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a machine that records your heart's rate and rhythm. If you do not have symptoms at the time of your ECG, it may look normal.
Other possible tests include:
You may have sick sinus syndrome without symptoms and not need treatment. However, if you do have symptoms and need treatment, there are options, such as:
Sick sinus syndrome often progresses over time. When your heart beats too slowly, or too quickly, it can lead to complications:
The aging of your SA node causes most cases of sick sinus syndrome, and there's no way to prevent that. But you can help prevent complications by learning as much as you can about the disease and working closely with your cardiologist to find the best treatment.
You can also make healthy lifestyle changes:
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

NEAR GILA RIVER -- Nine people were hurt when an Arizona Department of Corrections van blew a tire and rolled over on Interstate 10 near the Gila River Bridge Friday morning.
It happened at about 7 a.m. at milepost 173, which is about five miles south of Riggs Road. Nine people, all of whom are DOC employees, were in the van, which was en route from Florence to Phoenix.
Video from the Fort McDowell Casino News Chopper showed the vehicle lying on its roof in the median.
Emergency responders were working the scene with the help of the Phoenix Fire Department.
Aerial video showed the paramedics' triage area in the eastbound lanes of I-10. Three medical helicopters were called to the scene. The remaining six victims were transported by ground ambulance, DPS Officer Casey Yartom said.
None of the patients' conditions was immediately available.
The eastbound lanes of I-10 were blocked by the wreck and subsequent emergency operations. The closure caused a major traffic backup. Drivers were being routed off the freeway at Riggs Road.
The freeway reopened shortly after 8:15 a.m., allowing traffic in both directions to get moving again. It was slow-going while DPS wrapped up its on-scene investigation.
The wreck scene was completely clear by 9:15 a.m.
Investigators on the scene said tire failure caused the van to roll off the roadway.

The other 1935 Linen Dress!
Added Aug 16, 2010
by ajtak7171
Vienna, Austria
Here it is, the next linen dress from my "Deutsche Modenzeitung" from 1935. I've gotten used to grading, but this one came for Bust size 100cm, which is 12 cm (about 5 inches) too wide for me, so A LOT! The tracing-the-pattern-part and then adjusting it to my size was the most time consuming part. The actual sewing was a breeze. I only changed the length on this one, making it a touch more modern and I lowered the neck again (by about 4 cm). They would have used snap buttons instead of a zipper. Otherwise it is original. Oh, and can you believe they made the kickpleats on the skirt in the same white fabric as the rest of the skirt, as opposed to using the contrasting fabric like I did? Such a missed chance on their part, wouldn't you say?! I really like the outcome and wore it out for dinner last night – by bike! – it proved very comfortable and I felt great in it.
Of course I am now making that jacket that goes with it.
I have added a picture of my pattern parts. Partly to show how I adjusted the pattern (the green lines are from the original tracing. Then I folded the pieces horizontally and vertically – you could also cut and overlap – then I made some additional adjustments first on the doll, then on myself via muslin, then transfered the changes to the paper pattern, all changes are in red), and partly to let you understand why I can't so easily share these patterns. They are a huge mess once I am done with them! But I promise I am working on finding out the rights-situation and all…

Another Deutsche Modenzeitung star! Like everyone else, I love the contrasting pleats and details.
I especially like the idea that these dresses are bicycle-friendly too. THat seems very of the period; working women with their own money for dresses, leisure (the tennis rackets!) and mobility thanks to bikes. Clementina Black(?) commented in the 1890s (?) that the bicycle "was doing more for the independence of women than anything expressly designed to that end". And, I have no idea of the date or provenance of this pic that's been used in this poster, but I like the bicycle/dress combination. http://bp1.blogger.com/kSNVKrktKUQ/SGvDEh0aBsI/AAAAAAAABoY/jABxD5EdxZQ/s1600-h/slowbiketroisfemmes.PNG

(CNN) What's the age at which older men are no longer allowed to compliment women in their 20s on being beautiful? Is there an age when such compliments go from nice to creepy? And is there a similar rule that bars older women from calling younger men "handsome"?
We ask because of the uproar that erupted this week when 73-year-old ESPN sportscaster Brent Musburger made a slew of comments -- on air -- about the beauty of 23-year-old Katherine Webb, the reigning Miss Alabama. He did this during Monday's national championship college football game between Alabama and Notre Dame; Webb is dating Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron and was in the stands for the game.
Here's what he said when the cameras focused on Webb during the broadcast: "...you see that lovely lady there? She does go to Auburn, I'll admit that, but she's also Miss Alabama, and that's A.J. McCarron's girlfriend. Wow, I'm telling ya, you quarterbacks, you get all the good-looking women. What a beautiful woman! Whoa! So if you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pops."
And boom! Cue the controversy. People attacked Musburger as "creepy," for ogling her too much, for being a "dirty old man," for being sexist, inappropriate, and more. One publication even went so far as to claim that Musburger's comments are "evidence" of "a culture of domestic violence and sexual assault in football."

I went down on Betsy last night and her cunt smelled so bad I ended up giving her a twice baked potato.

Shitting into a condom then freezing it. Once it is frozen solid, take it out of the condom and use it as a dildo to stick in your lover's ass. Then leave it in until it thaws, then your lover shits it back out and presents it to you "twice baked".
Your sister is hot and so was the twice baked potato she shit onto my chest last night.
by steamy gene September 30, 2006
Freezing a piece of feces, so it will be hard, like a dildo. The frozen piece of feces is inserted into the sexual partner's anus, like a dildo. This is known as space docking. Once the piece of frozen feces is completely inserted into the anus, it is pooped out onto the other sexual partner. It is a piece of feces that is being pooped twice. Hence the name Twice Baked Potato
Bob took the frozen piece of crap out of the freezer, and put it in Jerry's booty hole. Jerry responded by crapping the crap onto Bob's tits. Jerry turned that space docking into a twice baked potato.

A turd that has been replaced in the butthole then crapped out a second time.
My leg was asleep and I didn't feel like getting up so I just grabbed a floater out of the toilet and stuck it back in for a twice baked potato.
by c. rollz October 19, 2013
When you fuck someone in the ass, quickly pull out and while the hole is still gaping open, turn around and shit in their ass so they then have to squeeze your turd out of their butt, thereby having the poo "twice baked".
I gave her a twice baked potato and she won't call me anymore.
by Jeff Bee August 12, 2007
When excrement is purged from one person's rectum and subsequently placed/pushed into another person's. A third housing would result in a "thrice-baked".
The carpet would need a Dyson-style cleaning after the couple attempted the Twice-Baked Potato.

New & Now
Winner of Your Best Fondue
Congratulations to hardlikearmour, whose Coconut Cajeta & Chocolate Fondue won this week's contest for Your Best Fondue, earning her a beautiful All-Clad Fondue Pot with Cast Aluminum Insert from Williams-Sonoma, plus big prizes from Viking, OXO and Tiny Prints, and a spot in the next food52 cookbook!
Q&A with hardlikearmour
- Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.
- I was lucky growing up. My mom cooked supper for us every night, and she is a good cook. It never occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to cook; it just seemed like a normal skill to have.
- What's your least favorite food?
- Fishy fish. It gets my gag reflex everytime.
- What is the best thing you've made so far this year?
- Wow, the year is young so this should be easy. I did make a really nice supper for friends using almost all food52 recipes. It was fabulous! Started with TheRunawaySpoon's Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries and aliyaleekong's Smoked Earl Grey Tea Cocktail, then lorinarlock's Butternut Squash and Roasted Garlic Galette, wanderash's Not-Too-Virtuous Salad with Caramelized Apple Vinaigrette, and butterflied grilled chicken (the only non-food52 recipe). Dessert was aliyaleekong's Fastest Baklava Ever. The meal pretty much knocked everyone's socks off.
- Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.
- Most recently was a carameltastrophe. Completely lost my brain, and was making a batch of caramels in a 3-quart saucepan when I should've been using a 6-quart saucepan. When the cream hit the hot sugar, a lahar of caramel goo spilled over the side of the pot -- all over the glass cook top, down the front of the stove and onto the floor. It was a disaster of a mess & filled the kitchen with smoke to boot. The good news was that no injuries were sustained, and no villages were buried.
- What is your idea of comfort food?
- It's gotta be creamy and full of fat. Savory would be macaroni and cheese. Sweet would be a rich chocolate mousse or white chocolate coconut gelato. Or maybe coconut cream pie. Darn my accursed sweet tooth!
- What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?
- I love the scene in Ratatouille when Remy (the main rat, and a gourmet) and Emile (Remy's brother, and a glutton) are reunited, and Remy tries to teach Emile about food. It's hilarious.
- If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?
- This one stumps me. I should have a good answer, but I just don't. I'm content cooking for family and friends.
- You prefer to cook: a. alone, b. with others, c. it depends on your mood
- a.) Alone. It's hard for me to have others "help" me in the kitchen. I have been improving on it, I swear!
- When it comes to tidying up, you usually: a. clean as you cook, b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking, c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to clean.
- I wish I could claim A. I really do try to clean as I go, but somehow I never seem to accomplish it. I always run out of time somehow. I'm definitely a mix of A, B and C; thank goodness for the invention of the dishwasher, or I'd end up leaning very heavily toward C.
- A cake decorated by hardlikearmour; the lovely All-Clad Fondue Pot with Cast Aluminum Insert from Williams-Sonoma she's won!

"It's like a warning to me...... Stay still, Shakey, and you'll turn to rust and dust....... So I keep on moving" -Neil Young
Hi! I am Marilyn, a singer/songwriter in Hudson, NY. You have landed on my personal website/ blog/ calendar, and you will find here all kinds of things about my musical life. Look around! My blog is below, but over in the right column under 'Pages', you can see links to videos, show schedules, song lists and the other musical projects I am working on. I really hope you will consider getting to a show or even have me (and my friends) come and entertain you at your party or event. People enjoy having us play for them!
When the music calls, I *will* be there....
Thanks to WGXC and Tom Roe, I have this complete version of my song, Something We Can Do.
Enjoy it.
But even more.... talk to each other in love, forget hate.

HODLY.COM WALLET - What it is? However, when I began testing Hodly, I found out that the combination of accessibility and a more than a decent level of security of financial transactions and personal data do exist in the world of cryptocurrencies. Now, let me explain in detail. First of all, the verification is non-obligatory if you want to deposit some money into your newly created Hodly account and just play around with it, buying some coins and then selling them for a small profit. I call it the "system check". Well, I just could do that with other apps because I had to wait for verification to be completed before I could spend a cent. I came as a surprise to me, how easy it is to get started on Hodly. I just downloaded the mobile application from the Google Play Market, created my personal account and linked my bank card to this account. The entire process took me about 5 minutes. Then I deposited a small amount of money, about $100, to the Hodly account and tried to buy some Litecoin because it was the coin that was recovering from the correction, so I expected it to go up very soon. So, I bought 0.834 LTC which I must say is a good exchange rate, compared to such crypto exchanges as Poloniex or Binance. I should also mention that Hodly has a decent selection of cryptocurrencies but it is not that big. In other words, if you want to trade coins that are not included in top 2 on coinmarketcap, then you should probably look for another platform or wait until Hodly lists that coin. However, it will be fair to say that they do it rather quickly. I have heard somewhere that Hodly is planning to expand its list of tradeable coins to 100 by the end of this year. As I was saying, I bought my litecoins fairly quickly and easily: it took me about 2 minutes and a few taps on the phone screen to see that my LTC account was funded with fresh coins. I must also complement the design of Hodly's interface: the combination of white and orange colors looks great, it reminds me of my favorite country which is the Netherlands. You should also know that I am a real security freak, so the next thing I did after having successfully purchased some coins, I have literally begun bombarding the Hodly's customer support service with inquiries regarding the methods of security provision. What really struck me in a positive way is that the member of the support team contacted me immediately after I had left my message in the chatroom. He dedicated almost 20 minutes of his time explaining me all ins and out of Hodly's system of internal security. It turns out that they have designed the platform in the way that corresponds to as much as three security standards: the Secure Sockets Layer Protocol, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, and the Advanced Encryption Standard. That's what I call a formidable security environment. And the fact the Hodly offers its users a chance to keep their cryptocurrency in a cold storage was like the icing on the cake for me. There is a rule of thumb in trading that you have to operate only with 30% of your total capital which in my case is around $20,000. I keep most of my investment portfolio in an offline crypto wallet, Ledger Nano to be precise, and the rest of the money is dispersed around various exchanges. As I have already mentioned earlier these exchanges are often subject to cyber attacks, and I personally lost more than $2000 on an exchange which I don't want to mention. My point is that having your "circulating" money kept in a cold storage is like an ultimate crypto security. With that being said, I think that Hodly is one of the prime cryptocurrency wallets in the market today. I've been keeping my coins there for a couple of months and never had even a hint of a security breach. Another thing I like about Hodly is its "Ultimate Explorer" feature which is really helpful for a trader like me who has to constantly sift through tons of financial information and monitor the process graphs. What Ultimate Explorer does, it gathers all data related to coins and sorts it in accordance with the topics (for instance, I can choose to see only news about NEM), displays the charts of all major currency pairs and signals about any price changes. While Hodly is not a fully-fledged trading platform, it is certainly a good application for monitoring cryptocurrency rates in order to make the timely trade. And the final thing I find fascinating about Hodly is that is has a community of wonderful people with whom I can communicate using the in-app chat. I must admit that sometimes they give really valuable financial advice. I made $300 once thanks to a guy named Jerry who insisted that I must buy OmiseGo. All in all, Hodly is great and the name is really funny. Perhaps I will buy a T-Shirt that says "Hodl" because it is currently my favorite word. Hodly is a multifunctional mobile cryptocurrency platform which offers its users an opportunity to purchase, sell, and store digital money. For those of you who don't know, the name Hodly is derived from the word "Hodl" which is a slang for "Hold" and it means keeping a cryptocurrency in the electronic wallet for a long period of time without selling it, hoping that the price of that coin will eventually rise and bring its owner significant profits. Hodly was released in the form of the mobile app that is suitable for both Android and iOS. There are many such platforms on the market today but Hodly has some distinguishing features and sets it apart from the competition. Such factors are the security of the trading platform, as well as its comprehensibility and the speed of its operation, are always taken into consideration by the experienced crypto enthusiasts. It is safe to say that Hodly combines all of these features and many more. Let's review them in detail. Speaking of comprehensibility, or the simplicity of use, Hodly is perhaps one of the best platforms around. Any person who has ever dealt with the mobile banking application will be able to figure it out. The app is available for download from Google Play Marker and Apple Store. There is also a desktop version of Hodly, though the mobile one would be more convenient because you will be able to trade cryptocurrencies on-the-go in just a few taps on the screen. Hodly supports the cryptocurrencies which are considered the most popular and valuable at the moment, namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Gold, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Zcash, EOS, TRON, Ethereum Classic, Qtum, and OmiseGo. If you check the status of these coins on coinmarketcap.com, you will see that all of them are placed in the top 20 coins in terms of price, market capitalization, total circulation, and supply. It means that Hodly lists only the most reliable coins on the market today, so you can safely and swiftly purchase them using your debit bank card. And that's when we come to one of the best features that Hodly offers its users: the possibility to link the bank card directly to the Hodly account and purchase and sell cryptocurrencies without additional fees using a single interface That is a real trading convenience! Hodly allows you to forget about third-party exchange services that are ripping you off with every cryptocurrency transaction. Here you can just enter your credit card details (which the system can save in case you want to trade on Hodly on the regular basis), choose the cryptocurrency you would like to buy from the above-mentioned list (the purchases are usually carried out using USD or Euro), specify the amount of fiat money you would like to spend and then just click (or tap) "Buy BTC (ETH, LTC or any other coin)". The transaction usually takes from a few seconds to a minute, depending on the system workload. Once the transaction is completed, you will be notified that you have become a happy "hodler" of a certain cryptocurrency. The system also works vice verse, so if you see that the price of a cryptocurrency is about to drop and you want to capitalize on market fluctuations, you can sell your coins just as fast as you have bought them. After that, you can withdraw the fiat money from Hodly straight to your bank account. The transfer of funds also takes only a couple of minutes. Another advantage of Hodly is that this platform has an uncomplicated verification procedure. Those of you who have already worked with similar products know how long and tedious the process of ID verification could be, as well as how many personal documents you have to present in order to be able to withdraw your hard-earned money. The requirement to provide scanned copies of identification documents, bank statements and utility bills could really be associated with the anonymity that the blockchain-based projects are supposed to provide. And after submitting all the required documents, the user has to wait for up to a week for the documents to be approved. With Hodly, everything is way more simple. The user is not obliged to register on the platform in case he or she wants to deposit funds (using bank card) and then purchase, sell and transfer coins to other Hodly users. The verification will only be needed when the user decides to withdraw funds that have accumulated on his/her Hodly account. Even then the verification procedure is really quick and straightforward. All you have to do is upload the scanned copy of your ID card. The verification usually takes no longer than 15 minutes. Even that personal information is totally secured thanks to the employment of the algorithm that adheres to the latest AES-256 encryption standard. Users' financial operations are also protected by the SSL protocol and PCI DSS. Therefore, despite its simplicity, Hodly can be compared to a fortress in terms of safety of payments. Moreover, each user must undergo the 2-factor authentication (2-FA) with each login into the system. The 2-FA consists of a password and a unique code which is sent to user's mobile phone. With this level of security, you can rest assured that no perpetrators will be able to get to your precious cryptocurrency. And if these security measures weren't sufficient, Hodly offers its users an opportunity to store their funds in the cold storage. For those of you who don't know, cold storage is an equivalent of a bank vault only designed specifically for digital assets. The cold storage operates offline which means that it is totally immune to cyber-attacks. Hodly also has its own community of users who can communicate and transfer money to each other. And lastly, the customer support team that speaks more than a dozen languages and is ready to help each customer at any given hour of day or night.

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. – General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital and Fort Leonard Wood officially commemorated the opening of a new Warrior Transition Unit during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday at the WTU campus.
The campus, operational since December 2012, includes a Soldier Family Assistance Center for financial management and educational resources, an administrative building, and 24 two-bedroom suites with kitchen and living room units.
Col. Marie Dominguez, General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital commander, talked about the WTU mission to heal wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers for transition either back to military duty, or to continue serving the nation as veterans in the community.
The key to successful, holistic healing is the comprehensive transition plan approach that focuses on the six core attributes of spiritual, career, emotional, family, physical, and social healing, Dominguez said.
"We focus on the abilities of the Soldier, not the disabilities," she said.
"All of our Soldiers have raised their right hand to serve our nation, and we have a solemn duty— a solemn duty— to promote healing of those Soldiers," Dominguez said. "We owe our Soldiers the best possible chance for recovery."
A team of specialists, including a primary care manager, a nurse case manager, and a squad leader, work together to coordinate the care and transition of each Soldier.
The campus, located adjacent to the main hospital, is managed by 40 civilian and military service members.
The Fort Leonard Wood WTU is one of 29 specialized units throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Greater fools in Facebook circular firing squad: James Saft
By James Saft
(Reuters) – The Facebook IPO, which started as a global search for a greater fool, developed on Monday into a circular firing squad.
Facebook's newly minted stock tumbled well below its issue price on Monday, falling as much as 12 percent, as it struggled in its first day trading without the full support of its investment banking syndicate.
The problem, of course, is that too many buyers were playing the same game, looking to lay off their exposure quickly to some other patsy. As they say in Silicon Valley, this isn't a bug, it's a feature.
We are now 15 years into what may someday be thought of as the great speculative era of financial history, during which a series of bubbles was caused to come into existence and then duly explode. The easy lesson has been to get in early and then get out. As such the Facebook IPO isn't just the third-biggest such offering in U.S. history, it is one of the largest ever exercises in collective cynicism.
After all, what "long-term investor" buys into a public offering and then changes her mind, bailing out simply because that satisfying initial pop we've been conditioned to expect fails to materialize? On the evidence, there were precious few Facebook buyers who really did want a long-term option on the company's vertiginous growth. They were instead game-players, some of whom always planned on getting out immediately and some of whom probably wanted to wait a short while but, having little actual conviction about the company's valuation and prospects, panicked when trading went sideways on Friday.
What the players failed to recognize is perhaps the central feature of the bubble series which started in Southeast Asia in the 1990s and spread in turn to dotcom shares, real estate and now social media: growing frequency and severity. The bubbles are inflating faster each time, growing more disproportionate to underlying value and bursting faster. There is no arguing that the social media bubble is bigger or more damaging than housing, but you can make a case that it has, at its worst, gotten more out of proportion. It also took less time to inflate, and is showing every sign of bursting more quickly.
Human beings are good at pattern recognition, but not perhaps quite so good at working out that so are their fellow men. Everyone saw clearly what the game was, but failed to account for what would happen when everyone plays.
As such, it is hard to judge if the Morgan Stanley-led deal is one of the best or the worst navigated major IPOs in recent history. If you believe that social media is a bubble and one with severe risks of rapid deflation, then this was a work of genius. This does, on the other hand, make future social media IPOs much more difficult. No one likes being played for a fool, at least not on the first date.
It is worth noting that existing holders provided an unusually high percentage of the shares sold, never a good indication in a business with a long road to justifying current valuations.
None of this is to say that Facebook isn't a great franchise and won't continue to be very successful. Facebook is profitable and a great success story. It is just horribly over-priced. Even at its current price 10 percent or so below the offering, it is trading at about 70 times prospective 2012 earnings, making it almost five times as expensive as Google shares. Sure, Facebook is only in the early days of extracting revenue from its massive user base, but even if you credit it with the ability to generate 50 percent earnings growth over an extended period – five years or so – it still ends up as a terrifically expensive stock.
That leaves very little margin of safety. Sure, Facebook has changed the world but it would be silly to expect those changes to remain fixed. Based on the evidence of the past decade the world, especially that province inhabited by Facebook, is changing extremely rapidly. It is all too easy to imagine Facebook's network being undermined by new technologies.
Facebook looks great right now, but so did Ohio farmland in 1825 when the Erie Canal opened a cheap route to European markets. The problem, of course, was that railroads and other canals would shortly open up supply from the two-thirds of a continent to Ohio's west.
Facebook investors are banking on its undoubted ability to innovate and create revenue while being unwilling, and probably unable, to account for that ability among literally millions of potential competitors, using technologies which may not have even been invented yet.

This content is user submitted and not an official statement
(hopefully updated weekly)
(I plan to ignore derogatory comments and negativity, which are divisive and energy-draining.)
End Major Power Abuse
(Unjust War, Covert Ops Terrorism, Economic Incompetence, Unjust Imprisonment and Other Govt Abuse)
(1) Unify Religions Multiculturally
(first Christians, then Christians with Muslims, Judaists et al)
(2) Do Political Activist Spiritual Unity Missionary Work
(3) Hold Multicultural Spiritual Unity Festivals
(9/28/13) PLAN UPDATE: I'll be at a Catholic Worker group next week, that's also affiliated with Jesus Radicals. Two of them are Quakers and I've associated with Quakers a lot in the past. All three groups seem to be politically active quite a bit. The Jesus Radicals website has an article by Art Gish, who was part of an organic farm community near Athens, OH. He apparently has done a lot of writing and activism to help bring Christians, Muslims and Jews together for peace. I met him in 1995, but I didn't join the group because I thought they insisted that people must believe in Jesus to be "saved".

(10/8) I got back from Catholic Workers yesterday. On Tentmaker I heard about Unity Church. I'd heard of them long ago, but didn't know they actually preach unity and universalism, even more than just Christian unity by the way. So I'll check them out on Sunday. If they seem promising, I hope to say why here next week.
I plan to meet with someone from AFSC next week. That's American Friends Service Committee.

MONTREAL – The new head of the Bloc Quebecois says he plans to recapture the hearts of Quebec voters by putting a greater emphasis on independence.
Mario Beaulieu, an ardent sovereigntist and the former head of the nationalist St. Jean Baptiste Society, won a slim victory on Saturday over his only opponent in the party's leadership race, Bloc MP Andre Bellavance.
Beaulieu said explaining the benefits of breaking away from Canada will be his top priority.
"Our opponents have often announced the death of the independence movement," he told a crowd of supporters at a concert venue in Montreal.
"I have a surprise for them: we are returning with more determination and energy than ever."
Beaulieu has a difficult task ahead.
The Bloc was reduced to just four seats in the Commons in the 2011 election from the 49 it held after the 2008 vote.
There are doubts about Quebec's appetite for sovereignty after the Parti Quebecois also suffered a drubbing. They had their lowest level of support in 44 years in the April 7 provincial election.
In the view of one Beaulieu supporter, however, the PQ and Bloc's popularity waned because they didn't put enough focus on their raison d'etre.
"What unites sovereigntists is sovereignty," Jean-Jacques Rousseau Martel said after hearing Beaulieu's victory speech.
"From now on, we're going to talk about sovereignty first and worry about getting elected afterward."
For his part, Beaulieu said he plans to speak about independence "before, during and after elections."
His first challenge will be to unite the party.
Bellavance had the support of the other three Bloc MPs during the leadership race. But Beaulieu was well known from his time with the St. Jean Baptiste Society, an institution that takes a strong stance on protecting the French language and promoting sovereignty.
In the end, Beaulieu captured 53.5 per cent of the vote. Some 19,000 party members were eligible to vote and 58.5 per cent of them cast a ballot.
The previous Bloc leader, Daniel Paille, resigned last December for health reasons. Paille took over from longtime party head Gilles Duceppe after the 2011 election.
Beaulieu plans to split his time between Ottawa and Quebec leading up to the 2015 election.
He said he will work to unite the sovereigntist movement — though he appears to have already ruffled some feathers.
Duceppe told reporters he "didn't appreciate" a reference in Beaulieu's speech to an "attitude of defeatism" within the Bloc over the past 20 years, something he denied was the case.
Duceppe, who was party leader for much of that period, called the comments "pure demagogy."
The Harper Conservatives also took a jab at the new Bloc chief.
Denis Lebel, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's political lieutenant in Quebec, was quick to dismiss the Bloc's new leader.
"Quebecers said clearly that they are fed up with the old quarrels. The Bloc has had its day," he said in a statement issued Saturday.

MEQUON, Wis. - With the second half of the season just around the corner, both the Concordia University Wisconsin men's and women's hockey teams will be relying on the same freshman goaltenders that anchored them through the early stages of the year.
For the women (6-4-0, 4-3-0 NCHA), first-year netminders Andrea Mizanskey (Palos Heights, Ill.) and Kaitlyn Evans (Fairbanks, Alaska) have both had strong starts to the season, while splitting the majority of the playing time between the pipes.
At the season's midway point, the pair's statistics are nearly identical: Mizanskey is 3-2 as a starter, while posting a .924 save percentage and a 2.26 goals against average. Evans is also 3-2, and is just behind her freshman counterpart with a .904 save percentage, and a 2.92 GAA.
Head coach Jim Ingman says this year has been a learning experience for both himself and his young goaltenders.
"I've never had to bring in a goalie and play her right away, but Kaitlyn and Andrea have both done very well for themselves," Ingman said. "There has been a bit of a learning curve for them, but the best thing is that they're getting better every day that they're out there."
Mizanskey and Evans both had the benefit of playing top competition before they even arrived at CUW, which is something they attribute to the early success they've enjoyed in Falcon uniforms.
Evans is a product of the North American Hockey Association, where she played alongside future members of the U.S. National Team.
Mizanskey, on the other hand, competed against both boys and girls at the high school and junior levels, which has helped her to become a quicker goaltender with excellent reflexes.
"I feel pretty good about my progress," Mizanskey said. "Coming in as a freshman, I didn't think I'd get as much playing time as I have, but I'm thankful for the minutes I have gotten so far and I think both of us have played well."
Neither Mizanskey nor Evans knew any of their current teammates upon arriving at CUW, but nonetheless, they say that the transition has gone smoothly and the squad has already developed camaraderie.
"The upperclassmen have been really welcoming to us freshman, and I think we work well with each other," Evans said. "As the season goes on, we'll become a much better team."
On the men's side, the Falcons (1-10-2, 1-6-1 MCHA) have relied on freshman Josh Lehr, who has earned the top spot on the depth chart through strong performances against some of the nation's best teams.
Through 11 games, Lehr has faced 474 shots but still managed to post a .899 save percentage.
Head coach Tony Hrkac has liked what he's seen from Lehr thus far, and credits his young goalie with keeping the Falcons in position to get positive results.
"The goaltenders have to be our best players and Josh has really taken the reins and helped us out on the back end," Hrkac said. "He's kept us in games at times, and has grabbed that number one spot; he's played terrific."
For Lehr, the Appleton, Wis. native says that consistent play will be his main focus going into the season's second half stretch.
"A big thing I'm working on is my consistency," Lehr said. "I've definitely had my up's and down's in games, but I just need to work hard and continue to get better each day so my performance stays even throughout the season."
Lehr has also enjoyed the benefit of having previously known many of his current Falcon teammates, something that he says has been a huge help on and off the ice.
"I knew quite a few of the guys actually; I played with them or played against them growing up and through juniors," he said. "It's made the transition much easier, and knowing other guys on the team helps a lot because you kind of know what they've experienced if they've been here before you."
Both teams are currently practicing and getting set for the season's latter half.
Mizanskey, Evans, and the CUW women's team get back to action this Friday, when they host St. Catherine's University at 7 p.m. at the Ozaukee Ice Center.
Lehr and the men's team will have an extra week of practice before they get back to game action, as their second half opener is January 13 at home against Finlandia University.

Colatura di Alici di Cetara (Anchovy Syrup Condiment)
One of the traditional dishes of the region is spaghetti with lightly browned garlic, chili flakes, a small splash of colatura, olive oil, parsley, and toasted breadcrumbs. Colatura is also added to the braising liquid for lamb or beef. Try sea bass braised with tomatoes, olives, garlic, parsley, and a splash of Colatura. Substitute Colatura for anchovy filets in a Caesar salad, again a small splash is all that is needed. Orecchiette with cauliflower, garlic, chilies, raisins, and pine nuts is also enhanced by its magical properties. Try blanched broccoli tossed with extra virgin olive oil, a small splash of Colatura, red pepper flakes and toasted garlic.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers programs leading to the Master of Science, Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in both mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering.
Admission to the M.E., M.S., and Ph.D. programs is competitive. In addition to the general entry requirements of The Graduate School, prospective students must meet more stringent departmental requirements, as described below.
For mechanical engineering degrees, applicants should have a B.S. and a GPA of 3.00 or better from an ABET-accredited mechanical engineering program. Others, if admitted, may be required to take certain undergraduate courses. Applicants from non-accredtied or non-mechanical engineering programs must take the General Test of the GRE and receive a minimum score of 1650 (450 verbal, 700 quantitative, and 500 analytical).
For nuclear engineering degrees, applicants should have a B.S. and a GPA of 3.00 or better from any ABET-accredited engineering program. Applicants from non-accredited or non-engineering programs must take the General Test of the GRE and receive minimum scores of 450 verbal, 700 quantitative, and 3 analytical.
All applicants whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL and score at least 600 (250 computer-based test) or on the University of Cambridge's IELTS Academic Course Type 2 exam. The fall 2002 entering class had an average GRE score of 2114 (597 verbal, 780 quantitative, and 737 analytical) and an average TOEFL score of 607.
Fields of specialization include mechanics and materials, thermal and fluid sciences, dynamics and controls, design and manufacturing, sustainable systems, and nuclear engineering. Current research areas include manufacturing (cutting, joining, simulation), fracture mechanics, experimental mechanics (computer vision methods, impact/fracture/creep testing), computational mechanics, MEMS, nanosystems, smart materials and active sensing, structural damage detection and health monitoring, mechatronics, combustion, solidification, bioreactors, and sustainable design.
The Graduate School has general requirements for M.E., M.S., and Ph.D. students that must be met by all degree candidates (including earning at least 30 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree for master's degrees and at least 60 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree for doctoral degrees). The Department of Mechanical Engineering has added requirements (some of which are described below) that must be met before students can complete their degrees. Consult the department for complete, current requirements.
For master's degrees in mechanical engineering: An M.S. student must take a minimum of 24 hours of graduate courses and 6 hours of thesis credits leading to a thesis. An M.E. student must take a minimum of 30 hours of graduate courses. The student must select one course from math, one course from mechanical systems, one course from energy systems, and one course from mechanics and materials. In addition, the student must select a focus area and take at least three courses from that area (this may include one that satisfies the above). If an M.S. student's research area does not require depth in one of the traditional areas, the student, with approval from the advisor and the graduate director, may select three related courses that will constitute a focus area. Approval must be gained before any classes are completed in the focus area course work. The remaining courses are typically selected in a major area of interest within engineering and the basic sciences. These courses need not all have EMCH designations; however, students must have their selection of elective courses approved by their major advisor and the graduate director.
For master's degrees in nuclear engineering: An M.S. student must complete 25 hours of courses and 6 hours of thesis credit leading to a thesis. An M.E. student must complete 31 hours of courses. All students will have a common set of required courses and will choose the remaining courses from a given list.
For doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering: A student must take a minimum of 18 hours of graduate courses beyond the master's degree and 12 hours of dissertation credits leading to a dissertation.
The Bachelor's/Master's Degrees Accelerated Program in Mechanical Engineering allows undergraduate students to complete both the B.S. degree and M.E. or M.S. degree in as few as five years. The use of dual credit--courses that can be used toward both degrees--enables acceleration of the program, reducing the total enrollment of the student by one semester.
Mechanical engineering undergraduate students may apply for approval of an accelerated education plan in the semester in which they will complete 90 hours of undergraduate course work. In addition, students must have a sufficient foundation in mechanical engineering course work to enable them to take graduate-level courses. University and department regulations stipulate that applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.40, both overall and in mechanical engineering courses. Students in the accelerated program must maintain a GPA of 3.40 while pursuing the B.S. degree.
Students applying to this program must submit to The Graduate School a completed "Application for Admission to a Combined Bachelor's/Master's Education Plan" with endorsements of the undergraduate advisor, the department graduate director, and the department chair. The dean of The Graduate School has final authority for approving accelerated education plans. A "Senior Privilege Course Work Authorization" must be submitted for each semester in which one or more of these courses are taken.
Participation in the accelerated program does not require acceptance into The Graduate School. After completing the B.S. degree, students wishing to continue toward a master's degree in mechanical engineering at USC must apply formally to The Graduate School by submitting the appropriate form and required supporting documents. Students in the accelerated program will be eligible for graduate assistantships upon admission to The Graduate School.
Only graduate-level courses (numbered 500 and above, including up to three credit hours of project/research work leading to a master's thesis) satisfying both B.S. and master's degree requirements may be used for dual credit. No more than nine credit hours may be used as dual credit. The graduate courses used for dual credit must be taken during the student's final undergraduate year. No more than nine credit hours (including those obtained under senior privilege and the college's Plan "M" for undergraduate juniors and seniors) may be applied toward a master's degree.

Lockheed Martin Sponsors University of Maryland Cool Careers in Cybersecurity for Girls Workshop
Nov 13, 2013, 09:00 EST
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- University of Maryland College Park will welcome more than 350 middle school students at the Cool Careers in Cybersecurity for Girls Workshop sponsored by Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), in partnership with the Maryland Cybersecurity Center and the National CyberWatch Center.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110419/PH85737LOGO-b)
Hosted at the Riggs Alumni Center in College Park, Md., the Cool Careers in Cybersecurity for Girls Workshop will equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to help fill the professional pipeline in numerous fields including: cybersecurity, information assurance, as well as other science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
"As the demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to grow for the foreseeable future, it is important to provide students with the necessary information to explore the exciting opportunities in the cybersecurity field," said Chandra McMahon, vice president of commercial markets and cybersecurity at Lockheed Martin's Information Systems and Global Solutions.
Throughout the day, students will have the opportunity to rotate to different stations and take part in hands-on activities ranging from solving identity theft cases of cybercrime, to penetration testing and cell phone forensics. Students will also be afforded the unique opportunity to learn about the numerous career options in cybersecurity from established women in the business and government officials throughout the state of Maryland.
"The Cool Careers in Cybersecurity for Girls Workshop significantly contributes to increasing the number of women in this critical field, which is one of the core goals of the education activities led by the Maryland Cybersecurity Center," said Michel Cukier, associate director for education at the Maryland Cybersecurity Center and associate professor of reliability engineering at the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland.
Research has shown that the representation of women in STEM-related fields falls behind their male colleagues; with middle school and high school girls in particular showing less interest and confidence in learning STEM. Events like the Cool Careers in Cybersecurity for Girls Workshop are essential in reversing this trend.
"The annual event was designed to attract and retain women in the STEM workforce and to address the growing demand for cybersecurity professionals in this geographic location," shares Dr. Davina Pruitt-Mentle, executive director of ETPRO and the National CyberWatch Center K12 Division PI.
Lockheed Martin is committed to working with groups to develop programs and events that educate and inspire our future workforce. The company recognizes the significance of its cyber workforce and has invested more than $1 million in university recruiting, scholarships and training that ensures the cybersecurity pipeline has a steady flow of willing and able professionals.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 116,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2012 were $47.2 billion.
