|What is the latest date this picture postcard could have been produced?
What is the earliest date the card could have been mailed?

The latest date the card could have been produced was
Presidential Election Day, November 3, 1908.
The earliest date the card could have been mailed was December 1, 1908,
although it was probably mailed late spring/early summer 1909.
|This image of the back
of the card showing its
postmark indicates
it was mailed
Aug. 14, 1909.
|Latest Date the Card Could Have Been Produced
|William Jennings Bryan's 1908 Candidacy for President
|The banner "Bryan's Head Quarters" on the clothing store relates to William Jennings
Bryan's third and last unsuccessful run for the Presidency in 1908. He was defeated by
William Howard Taft. The latest date the picture on the card could have been taken is
election day, November 3, 1908. Presumably the Headquarters was dismantled shortly
after Bryan lost the election, and the building reverted back to a clothing store.
Some readers guessed that the headquarters was related to one of Bryan's other
campaigns, either in 1896 or 1900, or that the headquarters belonged to his younger
brother Charles Wayland Byran, who served as the mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska, and
who ran several times (successfully and unsuccessfully) for Governor of the state. But
the picture on the posters in the headquarters' windows is the same as the one featured
in Wikipedia's article on William Jennings Bryan taken in 1907 at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan#1900-1912:_on_the_Chautauqua_circuit This
rules out Bryan's earlier campaigns and any of his brother's.

Infant Sons of Two Bahá'í Mothers Imprisoned in Semnan Facing Medical Complications
(3 January 2013) – The infants of two Bahá'í mothers imprisoned in Semnan in Iran have been transferred to hospital due to serious health issues. According to reports received by the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC), Barman Ehsani, the five-month-old son of Taraneh Torabi, is suffering from an intestinal infection. Rasam Tebianian, the 11-month-old son of Zohreh Nikayin, has been hospitalized due to an ear infection. The prison authorities had repeatedly denied Ms. Nikayin's request to take her son to a medical facility.
Denying medical care to children, as well as subjecting children to the unsanitary conditions of Semnan prison are clear violations of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) is a party to this convention, albeit with reservations. Article 3, paragraph 3 of this Convention declares, "States Parties shall ensure that the institutions, services and facilities responsible for the care or protection of children shall conform with the standards established by competent authorities, particularly in the areas of safety, health, in the number and suitability of their staff, as well as competent supervision."
In addition, Article 24, paragraph1 states, "States Parties recognize the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health. States Parties shall strive to ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services."
Zohreh Nikayin and Taraneh Torabi and their children have been in Semnan prison since September.
Ms. Nikayin and Ms. Torabi were first arrested on March 12, 2011. Ms. Nikayin was sentenced to seven years in prison on the charges of "organizing an illegal group with the goal of aiding the Islamic Republic's enemies", "membership in an illegal organization", and "propaganda against the Islamic Republic"
Ms. Torabi was charged with "organizing an illegal group with the goal of aiding the Islamic Republic's enemies", "membership in an illegal organization with the goal of attracting Muslims and preaching against the Islamic Republic in the interest of foreigners", and "propaganda against the Islamic Republic". Ms. Torabi was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months imprisonment.
The appeals court reduced Ms. Nikayin's and Ms. Torabi's sentences to 23 months and 20 months, respectively. These two women were among a group of individuals arrested for organizing Bahá'í children's classes.
In addition, Erfan Ehsani, Taraneh Torabi's husband, is also serving a one-year sentence in Semnan. His arrest, which involved security officials entering their home in an abrupt manner, caused Ms. Torabi—who was pregnant with her son at the time—to have a premature delivery.
A third Bahá'í mother, Mona Majidi, is also held at Semnan prison along with her 9-month-old child. She is serving a six-month sentence.
Small children frequently accompany their incarcerated mothers and guardians in the IRI's prisons. Many suffer from inadequate facilities for children while in detention—some of which has lasting mental and physical consequences. IHRDC has documented many such cases, including those dating back to the 1980s.

What is the best way to contact you?
I can be contacted at my office at (212) 737-6688 or by email at email@example.com
What kinds of treatment do you offer? I see patients for psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and medication management and will do my best to see patients quickly when in need for a first visit.
How are you different than other psychiatrists in New York City?
I offer a blend of excellence and experience in the care of numerous psychological problems. My years of post-graduate training in Psychosomatic Medicine as well as Psychoanalysis allow me to provide an integrative approach. Quick fixes to long standing problems often do not work and it takes a dedicated patient and physician to work together to create significant and lasting change. Often painful patterns of relating re-emerge in the therapeutic relationship which can provide insight in an emotionally immediate way that lead to new ways to solve old problems.
What forms of payment so you accept?
Payment is expected at initial visit. All major credit cards and checks are accepted.
How are fees and insurance handled?
I work on a fee-for-service basis where clients pay directly for services. I do however; offer clients the necessary documentation that they need to submit to their insurance companies so that they can receive reimbursement. I do discuss fees early in the consultation and once we start working together I will bill you monthly.
What can I expect when I initiate treatment?
Sometimes a thorough consultation may require three or four visits to get a full picture of the patient's situation. I will provide as best as I can understand, at the end of this process, the nature of the problem and recommended course of treatment. One's taking the initiative to schedule an appointment, whether the problem presented years ago or not, is always an anxiety-provoking situation. I will try to create comfortable environment to reveal sensitive and personal issues.
Will you prescribe medication if needed?
If we decide that medication would benefit your treatment, which may be the case if you suffer from severe and debilitating symptoms due to depression and anxiety, we will carefully consider treatment options, possible side effects and engage in a detailed discussion of the risk/benefit analysis in choosing your treatment. I often prefer to know a patient well before recommending medication.
Where is my office located?
My office is located at 65 West 55th Street New York, NY 10019.

When I need to ship something
in a box I prefer to recycle an
old box but then I have to use
brown paper to cover all the
labels on the box. This doesn't
seem like a very green
alternative. I've learned I can
turn most boxes inside out.
I do the same thing! I told my postal lady at the desk that I was doing that and she said that was fine...but that it really didn't matter. You can put a label on ANY BOX and mail photos, art work and all. They just don't like things marked out with black out markers...it looks suspicious. But like you, I would rather have a pleasingly plain box than a marked up, commercial -having-nothing- to-do- with-what- I'm- shipping- box!
great tips.
Oh! I have also been following your little short burst posts about the ongoing furniture do-overs. I love them. I wish I could keep my posts short...but as you can see, I CAN'T EVEN KEEP MY COMMENTS SHORT. HA!
I do this too! Love the ones that have the flaps and tabs. Makes it so easy.ReplyDelete

Orix Buffaloes: Day Off
by Gen on Feb.15, 2010 @ 5:36 pm, under NPB
...Alex Cabrera worked on his hitting for about 30 minutes with batting coach Eiji Mizuguchi on Sunday. After practice he spent some time in the weight room. He later told reporters that he was tired but that he was at about 90%.
...Takahiro Okada may not have picked up any hits over the three intra-squad practice games the team has played so far (0-for-8), but Akinobu Okada doesn't appear to be losing any sleep over it. He told reporters that T-Okada's strike out on Sunday was great and that T-Okada isn't paid to hit during Spring camp.
...The starting rotation will likely include Chihiro Kaneko, Shogo Yamamoto, and Kazuki Kondo. Hiroshi Kisanuki likely pushed himself closer to getting a spot in the rotation with his outing on Sunday.
...Additional notes from Sunday's intra-squad practice game:
Okada struck out in the third with runners on first and third and 2 out. He didn't pick up a hit in the game.
Kaneko topped out at 146km/h.

The fight against drunk driving and underage drinking is an ongoing affair. There is both good and bad news relating to the fight. First, the good news: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released new data on drunk driving fatalities. In 2011, for the first time since the agency started collecting data, there were fewer than 10,000 fatalities. To put that in perspective, when MADD was founded, there were more than 22,000 drunk driving fatalities each and every year. MADD has led the fight that has helped save over 300,000 lives and prevented millions of injuries since the organization was founded. This also means that the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving is working. Since MADD started the Campaign in 2006, drunk driving deaths have decreased by more than 25 percent. But the battle isn't over, and there is more work to be done.
Unfortunately, there is some bad news on this front. Preliminary data from the first half of 2012 shows a seven percent increase in traffic deaths. If fatalities continued to rise at that rate, almost 700 more people would die from drunk driving each year. It's known from historical data that as the economy improves, people drive more and they drive drunk more. But 700 more people killed by drunk driving and thousands more injured would be an increase never seen before.
MADD is redoubling its efforts in 2013 to reduce the toll from the violent crime of drunk driving. You can read about a few of these efforts in the March issue of The Road Ahead, including MADD legislative agenda for the year, the agency's efforts to stop the next generation of drunk driving by helping to prevent underage drinking, and its efforts to help victims of drunk driving through both support services and by helping secure better rights for those impacted by crime. If any of our readers have suggestions on what MADD should be doing or ways the group could do things better, email Jan Withers of MADD at email@example.com.

"Don't join an easy crowd; you won't grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high… surrounding yourself with people who you want to become!"
Notes for Tonight's Newsletter:
Crude Oil is bullish but 3 pushes higher sent price to the highs of the channel so we expect to see a 2-legged-correction off the highs before the next round of buying. We have a multi-day bullish channel and a spike & channel with 3 pushes up to the highs which tells us wise buyers will take profit at the highs and wait to buy at a cheaper price. Look closely and you can see the double-top at the high missed by only 1-tick which tells us the sellers sold the highs which then caused a break of the swing-low and now the buyers are trying to finish the job back at the highs, and if they fail the sellers will push price back to the channel lows again tomorrow.
E-mini S&P is bullish with a long-term channel and triangle pattern setting up for tomorrow but it appears the sellers missed the test of the channel low so we will keep an eye out of a fake-break low before it shoots higher. The multi-day bull-channel is easy to see that the recent move back to the lows missed by only a few ticks, and after a bullish rotation at the highs we should see them touch the lows (if not further) before the majority of the bulls get interested again.
Gold is bullish after a perfect correction off yesterday's highs which should entice the buyers back into this market so we will look for the bulls to hold the next pullback to prove it for us. Look closely and you can see they haven't tested the spike & channel support back at 1090.2 so if the buyers can't hold this pullback we can expect a 2-legged-correction to test that support and then we will look for it again.
Euro is bullish after recovering from today's reaction to the ECB Report but the overshoot of the channel-high and new bull-flag tell us to wait for a 2-legged-correction with 3-pushes to overshoot the channel lows before looking to get long tomorrow. The news this morning sent prices tumbling but the bulls responded with vigor as they pushed price 2/3 of the way back to where the sellers have their stops above the news-candle's highs. The overshoot and bull-flag are the big variables telling us to stay patient and we can see a great support level around 8600 to look for seller-failures and a push back to test the highs of today's session.

Subtracting Integers Practice - Can you subtract more than two integers?
Lesson 9 of 23
Objective: Students will be able to apply subtraction rules to solve problems with more than two integers.
Big Idea: Subtraction isn't so bad with just two numbers, but what if you have 3, or 4? In this lesson students will work on their subtraction skills with multiple integers.
Opener: As students enter the room, they will immediately pick up and begin working on the opener. Please see my instructional strategy clip for how openers work in my classroom (Instructional Strategy - Process for openers). This method of working and going over the opener lends itself to allow students to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, which is mathematical practice 3.
Learning Target: After completion of the opener, I will address the day's learning targets to the students. In today's lesson, the intended targets are, "I can solve subtraction problems with more than two integers." Students will jot the learning target down in their agendas (our version of a student planner, there is a place to write the learning target for every day).

Subtracting Integers Practice Explore Narrative
Notes: To get the lesson started, I am going to go over some brief problems where students will solve problems containing more than two numbers. I will start off by giving students a problem to try and then discuss with their groups, and then I will call on volunteers to teach the class. This will be more exciting than me just giving the notes - and students know enough to be able to do this without my instruction, so I am curious to see who will be able to teach us. Then, I will move into discussing word problems. I will do a one minute competition to see which table can name off the most subtraction words, and then I will add some words to the list that will most doubtedly get left off :)
Subtraction Bingo: As a fun way to practice subtraction, students are going to play a game of bingo. For this activity, I give students a Bingo Board and all the possible answers for the problems. It is their job to set their bingo board up! I place markers in the baskets at their tables, and students have to fill out their bingo board using a marker so that there is no cheating! I also place white boards/markers/erasers at the tables for students to work their problems out on. They tend to think that is more fun that writing on paper. In terms of individual or group work, I urge the students to each work the problem out on their white board and then discuss what they got with their group. Some students are very competitive and do not wish to share, and I do not push that, I just let those students do their thing as long as they are still playing the game. As with all work with signed numbers, students will need to be precise with their calculations (mathematical practice 6).
Resources (5)
Wrap Up Problems: To summarize this lesson, I am going to have students complete 3 problems mentally, as I want to see how they are progressing with the rules. I will have students solve and discuss with their table, and then number off 1-4 for tables 1-4 and 5-8 for tables 5-8. Then, I will have students move according to their number. Students will then discuss the answers with their new table, and I will call on random students to share answers. This activity will allow me to determine overall the success the students are having with the concept.

Scientific Notation
Lesson 4 of 10
Objective: SWBAT compare and apply scientific notation.
Warm Up
Each day, students complete a warm-up that usually consists of spiraling the previous day's material, in addition to older material. Warm-up problems also sometimes extend lessons that students have encountered before to more unfamiliar contexts.
For a video narrative about how I structure each lesson, and how the warm-up fits in, click here.

For the huddle in this lesson, I like to talk about the Gold_Problem, to push kids' understanding of how to apply scientific notation in any case.
10. Even though scientific notation is for very large or very small quantities, you can also use scientific notation to represent regular-sized numbers.
How would you represent 9 in terms of scientific notation?
How would you represent 10 in terms of scientific notation?
We plow through some misconceptions, but then attend to precision and present them properly. It also spirals the idea that the factor must be greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10.
I may show this brief video at the end of the Huddle if time allows:

Voters to decide whether abused animals have the right to a lawyer
Latest update : 2010-03-07
Switzerland votes Sunday in a referendum on whether abused animals should have the right to a lawyer. The Swiss system allows any citizen who collects 100,000 signatures from eligible voters to call a referendum on their chosen cause.
AFP - Already boasting laws to protect goldfish from being flushed down the toilet and to guarantee companions for lonely animals, Switzerland Sunday votes on whether abused animals deserve lawyers.
Legal representation in cases involving mistreated animals has been compulsory since 1992 in the Zurich canton. But pet politics could be taken to a new level if voters extend the right to the other 25 mini-states.
The quirky lawyers-for-animals poll is the latest example of Switzerland's "direct democracy" in which any citizen who collects 100,000 signatures from eligible voters can force a nationwide referendum on their chosen cause.
Sunday's vote was initiated by the Swiss Animal Protection (PSA) group and would oblige all cantons to name a lawyer for animals during judicial proceedings.
"It is not about Paris Hilton's dog now needing a lawyer to represent its interests," said Antoine Goetschel, Switzerland's only lawyer mandated by his canton in Zurich to handle animal welfare cases.
It is about protecting animals who are harmed by the very people who are meant to take care of them, Goetschel said ahead of the vote.
The problem is that the animal has "no rights", unlike humans who can prosecute the person who has caused harm, said Goetschel.
Environment groups, the Green and Socialist parties are supporting the initiative. But the government, parliament and the country's biggest party, the far-right Swiss People's Party, are against.
However, a lawyer's presence will not usher in a slew of children being prosecuted for pulling a mosquito's leg off, said Green MP Adele Thorenz Goumaz, as the law only covers "vertebrates" raised or used by man.
"In reality, lawyers for animals have a limited role. They can only work when there are penal procedures stemming from a violation of the law," she told the Le Temps newspaper.
The strongest opposition is in the countryside. "It will generate too much bureaucracy," complained Urs Schneider, spokesman for the Swiss Farmers' Union. "Switzerland already has existing laws to protect animals," he told AFP.
Switzerland already has one of the world's most comprehensive laws on animal rights.
Under laws revised in 2008, people wanting to get rid of a fish cannot flush it down a toilet bowl alive. It must be knocked out, killed and then its body disposed of.
Sociable household pets such as budgies and hamsters cannot be left alone. Even sheep and goats must have at least a "visual contact with their fellows".
The law's advocates say that Zurich's experience of lawyers for animals has shown that the system can lighten the public prosecutor's load.
The canton paid 78,000 francs (53,000 euros/72,600 dollars) last year to Goetschel, far less than a typical lawyer dealing with other cases.
A poll in November by the GFK research institute found that 70 percent of Swiss support the proposal.

This free online Budgeting Income Calculator will forecast the combined household monthly take-home pay for up to five income sources -- regardless of pay period type. If your household has multiple income sources, each with different pay periods (week, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, etc.), this tool will help you to see how much spendable income will be available for each of the next 12 months.
Plus, you can also view and print-out a pay period calendar for each income source that you enter. Cool!
If yours is like most households, you probably have months wherein more paychecks are received and other months wherein fewer paychecks are received. This is normally due to weekly or biweekly pay periods, seasonal employment, seasonal profit margins, or year-end bonuses and profit sharing. The key is to know ahead of time what your monthly spendable income will be for each of the next 12 months. In turn, this will make you aware of a very important number -- your lowest monthly income.
If possible, the goal should be to keep monthly expenditures lower than your lowest income month so that all income over and above that amount can be set aside for non-monthly bills and expenses, as well as for rapid debt reduction.
Imagine how great it would be to have funds readily available when irregular bills and expenses come due, and to be saving thousands of dollars in interest charges because you are paying your debts off ahead of schedule.
With that, let's use the Budgeting Income Calculator to forecast your combined household spendable income for each of the next 12 months, and allow you to view and print out a pay period calendar for each income source.

Boystown mainstay Bucks Saloon will close after this weekend. The familiar Halsted Street bar has been bought by Mark Liberson, owner of next-door Halsted's Bar & Grill and nearby Elixir lounge and Hydrate nightclub, who plans to transform the space into Replay, an arcade bar.
"Bucks has a very long history in the community and also has a long history in my mind. It was the first bar I ever walked into and thought, 'I wanted to own this place,'" Liberson said.

While Portland may be known for many things -- craft beer, strip clubs, PBR-toting fixed-gear enthusiasts, and, of course, the infamous Unipiper -- some of the city's greatest treasures are its splendid food carts. Home to a variety of diverse pods ranging from the Latin-inspired Mercado to the humble Tidbit pod and beyond, you can find food from just about every corner of the world represented in one of them.
Since walking around in search of a good food cart is one of Portland's greatest pleasures, we've rounded up the best dishes served from food carts the city has to offer. We're talking about the kind of dishes that are so good they almost demand to be eaten, aka the kind of meals foodie dreams are made of. Time to crack open a beer and get exploring.
These Mexican-Style Hot Dogs Put Street Meat To Shame
Short rib burritos
KOI FusionAddress and Info
Mississippi & other locations
Forget everything you ever thought you knew about burritos because KOI Fusion's delicious Korean burritos are here to steal your heart. While you can choose from stuffing your burrito with a range of meats including chicken, pork, and steak, it's the short rib -- made perfectly tangy with a hint of kimchi and a hefty dollop of guac alongside -- that'll have you audibly moaning in no time at all.
The Full English Breakfast
Kingsland KitchenAddress and Info
Kingsland Kitchen's all-day British fry up serves as the perfect antidote to the kind of earth-shattering hangovers earned after an especially raucous Sunday Funday. Chow down on bangers (pork sausages), bacon, fried eggs, baked beans, and tomatoes complete with a French roll and HP sauce for the kind of breakfast that'll bring all the carnivores to the yard.
Chicken and Rice (Khao Man Gai)
Nong's Khao Man GaiAddress and Info
Proof that a humble dish done well merits fame and fortune, Nong's signature dish is a Portland staple that's dazzling in its simplicity: It's just chicken poached in an aromatic broth served with rice and herbs. The broth is nourishing in the kind of way chicken soup hits you when you're sick, and tastes like it's been cooking all day, to boot, making it one of the most elementary must-have meals you can have in Portland.
The BBQ tri-tip sandwich
Rip City GrillAddress and Info
South Waterfront
Residents of the South Waterfront have one distinct advantage over the rest of the city: steady access to some of the best tri-tip sandwiches you can get your hands on in the PNW. This mighty cart cranks out BBQ sandwiches that are practically overflowing with juicy, tender tri-tip, grilled onions, and cheese for a mere $8, making it an ideal spot for those in search of a tasty, filling lunch.
Big Bowl
The Whole BowlAddress and Info
Downton & other locations
The premise here is simple yet immensely satisfying. Grab a bowl full of hearty rice, beans, cheese, avocado, and salsa for a guilt-free-burrito feel on the go. What makes it deliciously addictive, however, is the Tali sauce, a gift from the gods themselves in liquid form that's irresistibly tangy and will have you shamelessly licking your fingers for hours later.
The Yolko Ono
Fried Egg I'm in LoveAddress and Info
Cute punny names aside (Sriracha Mix-A-Lot, Egg Zeppelin), all the sandwiches here are served on toasted sourdough from Portland French Bakery, made with locally sourced eggs, and sprinkled in a special "magic egg dust" spice. As sandwiches go, The Yolko Ono takes the crown: lovingly paired with a fried egg, pesto, Parmesan, and sausage, it encapsulates the meaty, salty essence of breakfast at its finest.
The Original
Chicken and GunsAddress and Info
Ladd's Addition
If the secret to perfectly cooked meat is love, care, and ample amounts of smoke, then the folks at Chicken and Guns have reached peak form with the Latin-style wood-smoked chicken. Not only is the chicken naturally raised from local farms, it's also served with ample amounts of the Peruvian-inspired Aji sauce (cilantro, jalapeños, and sour cream) and double fried crispy potatoes to top the whole thing off.
Matt's BBQAddress and Info
Quite possibly some of the best BBQ in Portland, Matt's BBQ serves up a frenzy of succulent Texas-inspired ribs, spicy hot links, and more -- but it's the brisket that's really worth hanging around for. Think of it as soulful, melt-in-your-mouth meat butter. Get it in sandwich form or naked alongside more traditional sides like coleslaw and potato salad.
Belgian-style fries
Potato ChampionAddress and Info
Open till 3am to cater to eager, munchie-ravaged bar hoppers, Potato Champion specializes in serving up Belgian-style fries (and poutine) along with a range of gourmet sauces that elevate the humble little potato to new heights. Try not to drool as you go through the sauce list, which features dips like bourbon honey mustard, chipotle mayo, and buttermilk ranch.
The Bulgogi Beef Bowl
NamuAddress and Info
What happens when Korean meets Hawaiian food? A crazy delicious crossover that makes for killer lunches, that's what. Served up with rice, kimchi, spinach, and cucumber, the Bulgogi beef is full of delicious umami flavor without being too salty or sweet, and compliments the creamy avocado alongside it perfectly. You should also add some extra macaroni salad onto your bowl, because it's just that good.
Garbage Burrito
Los GorditosAddress and Info
Nothing quite says Portland like a vegetarian friendly Mexican joint with a reputation for stuffed-as-fuck burritos. The Garbage Burrito -- filled with chicken, beef, pork, beans, rice, and cheese plus salsa -- is perhaps best summed up in one Yelp review: "When I've had a really bad day, I eat an entire garbage burrito and the world seems like a better place." Burritos can be a magical thing, indeed.
Lollipop wings with garlic noodles
Mama Chow'sAddress and Info
In a town that's already packed with delicious crispy wings, Mama Chow's still stands apart. These lollipop chicken wings are dangerously good. Tender and juicy despite their crispy honey and soy glazed exteriors, these wings near perfection when paired with the garlic noodles for a combination of salty and sweet with a hint of spice that makes for an incredibly satisfying experience.
Rotisserie Chicken
Polli-TacoAddress and Info
Specializing in Peruvian-style cuisine, Polli-Taco's all about "pollos a la brasa," aka charbroiled chicken done right. Dry rubbed and tenderly roasted to juicy perfection on a spit, the rotisserie chicken is served in quarter, half, or whole sizes with sides like rice, beans, and plantains, but the chicken is so good it almost warrants being eaten on its own.
Jian Bing
Bing MiAddress and Info
You can think of the dish Jian Bing as a Chinese breakfast crepe. It's a grilled crepe filled with a variety of ingredients, including chili sauce, pickled veggies, fried egg, and cilantro, and manages to hit a wide range of flavors including salty, tangy, sweet, and crunchy all at once, making it a texturally satisfying dish to snack on while on the go (or anytime, really).
Lamb gyro
Aybla GrillAddress and Info
Central Eastside
Served best when super-sized, this gyro is filled with ample amounts of tender, shredded lamb tucked into a fluffy pita with tzatziki and feta cheese for extra tangy flavor beyond your wildest dreams. And at only $9 for that big-ass portion, it's the kind of gyro you can't help but think back on fondly -- and often.
The Cheezus
Grilled Cheese GrillAddress and Info
Alberta & other locations
With three school buses compromising the Grilled Cheese fleet, it's easy to get your cheese fixin' on just about anywhere in the city. Go beyond the grilled cheeses of your childhood and tuck into The Cheezsus, a delightful concoction with two separate grilled cheese sandwiches acting as the buns for a burger patty. Only in America, friends, can grilled cheese be elevated to such a form.
The Number One
Paper Bag PizzaAddress and Info
Pizza was made to be wood-fired, a fact you can taste when biting into the crispy, thin crust of the Number One. Having earned its namesake most likely due to its wild popularity, it's a pizza decked out with tangy tomato sauce, hints of Calabrian chili, and roasted garlic along with sausage and mozzarella that demands to be eaten large mouthfuls at a time.
The Bimbim Box
Kim Jong GrillinAddress and Info
Proclaimed as "Portland's favorite hangover cure," the Bimbim Box is Korean BBQ served alongside rice, Japchae (potato noodles), and a rich, fried egg on top. The textural contrast of the egg alongside the soft rice and crispy fermented veggies is deeply satisfying, and made even more so when served with kalbi short ribs, complete with a nice kick of heat and giant portion sizes to boot.
Pueblan Mole
Holy MoleAddress and Info
This is a mole that's as authentic as you'll ever find stateside. Made by Pueblan native Juan Fernando Otero, this mole recipe uses more than 30 ingredients and takes more than 13 hours to prepare. The chocolate is even homemade, which brings us to our final point: You can literally taste the love and devotion that goes into this dish. Do yourself a favor and go get some immediately.
The Olea Falafel Wrap
Wolf & Bear'sAddress and Info
The plain and simple truth is that the falafel here is out of this world. It's so deliciously pure that the king of Portlandia himself, Fred Armisen, stopped by with Jerry Seinfeld when filming a Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee sketch. Get the Olea, a falafel wrap served up with grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, and drizzled with tahini, for maximum satisfaction.
Pastrami sandwich
Pastrami ZombieAddress and Info
As far as Reubens go, Pastrami Zombie's Montreal-style version showcases everything that's good about pastrami in the most sensual way possible. The Angus brisket is brined for four days before being smoked with black oak and piled high between two slices of rye with slaw and Russian dressing. It's definitely the kind of sandwich that turns casual eaters into frenzied fans for life.
Burger StevensAddress and Info
Head Chef Don Salamone's self-proclaimed burger obsession has finally paid off in the form of a thick, juicy burger that's vaguely reminiscent of In-N-Out's signature style patties. When a grilled bun meets some good meat (in this case, Pioneer Ranch local custom-ground beef) along with Tillamook cheese, all the fixin's, and some "Extra Fancy" sauce, you know it's going to be real, real good.
Fried Cod and Chips
The Frying ScotsmanAddress and Info
Proving that you don't have to travel to Europe for some quality fish and chips after all.

How can we change the port number we use for our Internet-facing Exchange Server Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Remote Procedure Call over HTTP Secure (RPC over HTTPS) clients?
To be blunt, you can't. Sure, you can tell Microsoft IIS to listen on a different port; it will obey and start listening for connections on the port you specify. But the front-end server just acts as a sort of proxy server that accepts client requests and sends them to the back-end server. That back-end server is the one that's responsible for rendering all the content that users see, and the server doesn't support anything other than the default ports: port 80 for unsecured HTTP and port 443 for HTTP plus Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). When the back end renders an OWA page, all the links it constructs use one of those two default port numbers. If you change the port number on the front end, the back end won't honor that change, resulting in broken links. Furthermore, why would you want to change the port number? If you're thinking of putting public services on lesser-known ports as an attempt to secure them through obscurity, that's like hiding your money under the mattress instead of keeping it in the bank. Such measures might lend a little temporary security, but anyone who port scans your public IP address will quickly discover the port-number change, rendering it useless as a security measure.

text: The Rath Haven Chronicles: A Shadow of Light by Rachel DeFriez is a wonderful novel about a young girl on the edge of her powers. Where do they come from, those larger than life, leaders of men like Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun, Caesar and Napoleon? Jane Weston knows the answer because her brother Jack is one. The two are Averiens, descended from the super race, carrying the blood of Tuatha. Although having a hero for a big brother occasionally comes in handy, Jane has always secretly wondered what it would be like to try a moment in the spotlight herself. She's about to find out. A live fairy tale is brewing in her new backyard, and she is destined to be its unlikely heroine when she's caught in the crossfire of their rivaling factions. She has to reach her twelfth birthday to inherit the magic she needs to rescue her fairy grandmother's dying soul. Until then, she'll have to survive using the bit of power left in her grandmother's wand. Fortunately for Jane, Jack is a true big brother, the kind a heroine can trust with her soul-literally. Trusting Cousin Will, on the other hand, is a completely different story. They have already rescued him from the labyrinth hidden in the old mine, not to mention from the local county sheriff. It seems the only power Will is destined to wield is the uncanny ability to find trouble wherever he goes and wriggle out of it. In true fairy tale form, Jane finds that trust is a matter of love and that love is the key to her power. A Shadow of Light is fun, but it dips deeply into the locked powers hidden for ages in the human soul and the world around us.

Teresa Giudice dropped a major bombshell about Joe during RHONJ
One glance at Teresa Giudice's Instagram and you'll know she dotes on her daughters. In fact, it may even be fair to say that they are her whole life. So, being away from them when she served time in prison for fraud must have been particularly difficult. But it wasn't just being behind bars that took a toll on her parenting — as Sunday's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey clearly showed us.
More: Prison visits have become the norm for Teresa Giudice's daughters
On the show, Giudice speaks about her prison sentence and her probationary prison release, which meant that even though she was home she wasn't able to parent the way she wanted to. "You always need to get permission to leave the house when you're on home confinement," Giudice said on the show, People reports.
"I can't walk the girls to the school bus," she said. "I'm still being monitored, and I'm still wearing an ankle bracelet. It's hard to be monitored all the time."
Giudice also gave viewers a glimpse into her post-prison life and feelings, as she explained she was "tired" and that everything had been a "whirlwind" as she once again took on the role of being a parent — cooking meals, doing homework, helping her daughters get ready for school — and while Joe tried when she was away (for 15 months) Giudice admits that "he's not me."
More: Teresa Giudice & Melissa Gorga may have actually put the past behind them
But perhaps the most significant change since returning from prison is Giudice's approach to her marriage, and her marital responsibilities (which will now include handling the family bills).
"Joe and I have a very old school marriage," she explained. "Once I married Joe, he took care of everything — all finances. I really didn't pay attention to anything. But I did get in a little trouble for that …." Actually, as she later clarified, Giudice got into a "lot of trouble" and this was something that she clearly resented Joe for at the time.
"After my sentencing, I was angry," she admitted. "I think any other woman probably would have left him. Now I'm standing on top of anything that has my name on it." Later adding, "Before my John Hancock goes on anything else ever again, it's going to be right or I'm not doing it."
More: How Joe Giudice is keeping things hot & heavy with Teresa while he's behind bars

Thanks to you and hundreds of other generous supporters, we met our challenge! A generous group of your fellow donors said if we raised $50,000 in online contributions last month, they'd match it. So we start 2014 with an added $100,000 to push for compassionate end-of-life care nationwide.
We'll use every penny to seize the opportunities and face the challenges ahead. I know we can achieve great things in 2014, but every victory will be hard-fought. These financial resources will strengthen our efforts to end unwanted medical treatment … expand access to aid in dying in more states … and defend end-of-life care in the courts.
Your support helps us do all this and more.
Thank you again for your commitment to Compassion & Choices. Together, we will bring dramatic changes to end-of-life care in America.

Zizek's pessimism is not surprising, but that pessimism is one reason I wrote Last and First Men: the marxist left needs to rebrand itself as a neo-communism in order to bypass the historical rejection of bolshevism. The pessimism just might be the result of the stale brand.
The situation could be hopeless, at first sight, but it can hardly be more hopeless that that of the early residents of the Roman Empire at its start. The xtians found a way out. The left now has to pull off the same trick, but probably not in religious terms, although I think my idea of a Munzerian communist xtianity is a relevant 'thought in passing'. Marxists gambled wrong on the basics of a social belief system that could generate a postcapitalist society. The social context has changed now and that mindset won't work anymore.

R. ROGERS, Kennewick
Recently, a local TV news station reported the Pasco Hispanic Chamber of Commerce offered a survey in Spanish only. The results of that survey stated 70 percent of the participants said they felt they had been victims of discrimination.
The good people of this community offer up free coats, shoes, school supplies, food, school lunches, low-income housing and more. Very seldom do I see a news story thanking these good people for their compassionate efforts toward those less fortunate.
I feel if a person of any ethnicity wants to cry discrimination, perhaps they shouldn't single themselves out. Case in point, why have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce? Why not the Franklin and Benton Counties Chamber of Commerce? If some Tri-City businesses started the Caucasian Chamber of Commerce, there is a high probability they would be sued before the doors even opened.
It's time to wake up, America, and all play by the same rules.

Learn to Greatly Enhance a Person's Portrait By Drawing Attention to Their Eyes
So when would you need to be adding catch lights to eyes, whether it is a baby, group shot or animal?
If your shots seem a little bland, the chances are that it could be in the eyes. Normal human behaviour is for us to look straight to the eyes of any subject whether we are talking to them, photographing them or looking at images of them.
I have been known to spend hours on a group shot adding a "sparkle" to the eyes of each individual eye of over 20 people. It may sound crazy but it really does show!
The trick is not to overdo it like I have in the following example. The reason I have done this is that when an image is reduced severely in size, it is more difficult to see the change. A subtle yet noticeable change in your subject's eyes will have them reeling in glee when they see your photographs of them, as they too will look straight to their own eyes!
Adding catch lights to eyes – Fig. 1
Firstly, select the dodge tool. This is a term that originates from "dodging and burning" from the original darkroom with film photography. Dodging means you are dodging the light from hitting the image therefore making it lighter, and by burning, you are burning more light to the image making it darker.
Then set the range to highlights. This will just allow the tool to work on the highlighted areas of the eyes, leaving the darker areas alone, which gives a more natural overall end result.
Set the exposure as low as you can, I normally use a setting of 3. This means that you won't overdo it (set it to 100% and see what happens!), but if you want to increase the effect, you can simply "left click" again and again to add to the effect little by little.
Adding catch lights to eyes – Fig. 2
Now, select the brush size menu and set the hardness to "0" or zero. This will automatically select a soft edged brush. This helps to blend the alterations in, again giving a more natural look. You can also select the brush manually by using the drop down menu and choosing a "fuzzy" brush.
Also set the diameter very small. You want to zoom in on the eyes and work in close up mode!
Adding catch lights to the eyes – Fig. 3
By repeatedly "painting" the brush over the selected areas, you will start to see the catch lights coming through. Once in a while zoom back out to check your progress, and when you are happy…stop. It is all too easy to go over the top and make the effect look more drug-induced than that of using Photoshop!

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It's that time of the year when people take breaks from school and work and when blood and platelet donation levels become vulnerable.
LISTEN:WCBS 880's Monica Miller reports
Rob Purvis from the New York Blood Center says a half a million blood donations are needed across the Tri-State area each year.
"Most people who donate blood donate at either school or the work place, so primarily what happens is that there's just less people donating blood," he said.
Red blood cells only have a shelf life of 42 days and platelets only five days.
"So there's a constant need for replenishing the blood supply, continuing to bring inventory in so that it's available for the hospitals and patients," said Purvis.

"The Voyager is the only synth I use on stage... We used the Moog filters a lot – for instance we fed a digital piano through the Voyager and used the filter section, or we'd put a guitar through it. You can hear it on the single Ulysses – there's a guitar in the choruses, and when it hits this high chord, it's filtered through the Moog."
Nick McCarthy, Franz Ferdinand
It's the Voyager with all the sonic quality one would expect plus a finish that rivals its sound.
Played by the likes of Jesse Carmichael of Maroon5 and Printz Board of the Black Eyed Peas. The Electric Blue Voyager is housed in a fractal blue solid ash cabinet. At first it looks black but as one draws near the fractal blue flecks pop out in an eye catching display. Combine this with the stunning look of the electric blue back lit panel, new blue LED's, and some new killer patches and you have an instrument you will be proud to play for a lifetime.
Now, all Electric Blues will have the upgraded software and hardware to allow the player 7 banks of 128 presets and the following capabilities:
The External Mixer knob (just right of the display panel) has a dual function that allows you to rapidly change presets as opposed to continuously punching the cursor buttons.
Other Enhancements:
- Allows you to send either 7 or 14 bit resolution from the Mod Wheel
- Optionally reduces the amount of MIDI data being sent from the Touch Surface (These changes enable the Voyager to work better with older MIDI equipment)
- Transpose the entire keyboard by 2 octaves up or down

A. When you open the Word document, IE tries to write the document name to the list of most recently used files. However, before IE can add the document name to the list, it attempts to obtain Read/Write access to the document, which can result in the username and password request. To resolve this problem, you must configure your system to not add Word documents to the most recently used files list by performing the following steps:
- Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
- Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options registry subkey.
- From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
- Enter the name DontAddToMRUIfURL, then press Enter.
- Double-click the new value, then set it to 1.
- Click OK.
- Close the registry editor.
This problem also exists with Microsoft Office XP. The solution is the same, except you navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Options registry subkey in Step 2 and you must request a patch from Microsoft Support (make sure you reference Microsoft article "WD2002: Password Prompt When You Close a Word Document You Opened in a Web Browser,"--no patch is needed for Office 2003).

SI Swimsuit Model Jessica Perez: Frankie C.'s New Best Road Trip Bud
The epic road trip to the Super Bowl got off on the right foot yesterday as the Boston contingent of the footballnation.com crew packed up our super sweet "Go RV'ing" RV and hit the open road.
We had a stop to make back at Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse to pick up some stuff we agreed to carry down to Manhattan for our buddy and all-around good guy Steve DiFillippo.
We got to Davio's and of course I was hoping to see the new girl I'm in love with but is completely out of my league, Tania Pierce. Tough luck for me, apparently Tania has a life outside of chance meetings with potentially dangerous stalker types.
He's no Tania but we ran into Paul King. He's the executive chef there at the restaurant and does a terrific job. He didn't cause my muscles to contract in some primitive mating reflex, but he did load us up with some delicious snacks for our trip.
Finally we get on the highway and put some miles under the tires of this fine RV. Our buddy Mikey Sheehan is along for the ride and has graciously agreed to be our wheel man. We crank Mikey's ipod up to "Bleeding Ear Drums" and start watching the miles roll by.
We get into North Bergen, New Jersey around 10 p.m. and stop into The Nile restaurant. We've got to be up and going at 4 a.m. to be at Fox News at 5 a.m. so we're going to grab a quick bite and then test the RV's sleeping capability.
Inside The Nile, we transported back as though by magic to the universe of Alladin. The only thing missing is some lounge singer belting out "Midnight at Oasis" and maybe some customers outside of the three of us, the bartender and a young girl on a date being chaperoned by her mother.
Since I've been well behaved all day and because 4 a.m. comes early in the morning, I decide to celebrate my arrival in Jersey with a couple shots of Jack Daniels and a couple tasty Samuel Adams Boston Lagers.
The bartender is friendly but steadfastly refuses to sit at our table with us, even after several attempts to convince her. I have to admire her unwillingness to settle.
At 11 p.m. we wrap it up for the night and return to our rolling castle for some rest. Mikey chooses the full size bed over the cab of the RV. Kerry grabs the full bedroom in the back. I pop the living room couch down into bed position and jump in. We've got the generator cranking out ample heat and the three of us slept like babies.
You know what's funny about 4 a.m.? Nothing. We're up and getting ready for our spot on Fox News "Fox and Friends" show. It's as black as the middle of the night outside the RV and the thermometer reads 20 degrees, which between you and I feels much colder outside the cozy confines of our wheeled home. A thought occurs to me that we're going to be outside a lot this morning.
It's a quick little ride through the Lincoln tunnel to Times Square and just a block over from there to the studio. The city that supposedly never sleeps must be awake with its eyes closed at 5 a.m. There's no one to be seen anywhere.
We pull up outside of Fox News studios and bust out of the RV and get to work setting up our tailgate. It's so cold out here. I can't imagine how I ever used to work outside. I guess your skin gets thin as you age. I can feel it. I'm just thinking about sunrise and how maybe that'll warm the air up.
Wonder of all wonders, the Davio's crew shows up and the object of my latest infatuation is here! Suddenly it feels like it's 85 degrees and sunny. I'm trying to figure a way to approach Tania and start up a conversation. We'll never get married and have two point two children and a dog named Bruschi if I can't talk to her. So, I go up and go for the showbiz hug. She's not having it. She must have read Thursday's blog, because there's definitely a trace of fear in her eyes. The temperature plummets back to 20 degrees.
The sun is up now, but surprise it's no warmer. Apparently there are these new inventions called skyscrapers that don't allow for much light to make its way to the street. Someone somewhere should've mentioned this to me. It's now 21 degrees.
Our very good friend Walter Schneider from Bayonne, NJ just showed up to help us get the tables set up and cheer us on. Which is awesome, not only do we love Wally but more hands mean we can take turns getting back in the RV to warm up.
More help arrives in the form of our friend and fellow Mancathlete, Billy Enright. All hands are now on deck.
Sports Illustrated swimsuit modem Jessica Perez is INSIDE OUR RV! Is it hot in here or is it just Jessica Perez? Billy springs into action and we film our Hot Chicks with Super Bowl Picks segment. At one point, I have my arm around a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model on the couch of the RV. I could get used to this media thing. I really could.
Finally 7:30 a.m. rolls around and it's time to film our segment. We even get to be on camera for a teaser spot that they run before the spot itself.
The spot airs and we get to break down the set. Everyone packs up and we have some time to grab breakfast. A couple eggs, some coffee and 30 minutes of uninterrupted heat have me back to feeling downright frisky.
We say goodbye to Wally, and the Davio's crew (adieu Sweet Tania!) and we roll out of Manhattan. As you read this update, we're steaming through New Jersey (heads down everyone!) on our way to Baltimore to meet up with former Raven Qadry Ismail for another media spot. We'll check in again later.

Small Area FMRs Improve Housing and Neighborhood Quality for Voucher Holders
Robert Collison and Peter Ganong conclude in a study, The Incidence of Housing Voucher Generosity, that Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) allow voucher recipients to live in higher quality housing and better neighborhoods with less poverty and crime, with little change in overall costs to the voucher program. SAFMRs allow voucher payment standards to be higher in high cost, high opportunity neighborhoods and lower in low cost, low opportunity neighborhoods.
Fair Market Rents (FMRs) established by HUD are used to calculate the maximum allowable monthly subsidy for a voucher holder. An FMR with adjustments by apartment size is normally applied across an entire metropolitan area or county, with no variations for smaller, more localized geographies. There have long been concerns that a single FMR for a metropolitan area or county concentrates voucher holders in low cost, low opportunity neighborhoods where rents are more likely to be below the maximum subsidy. Rents in high opportunity areas are more likely to be above the maximum subsidy.
In response to these concerns, HUD announced in 2010 a SAFMR Demonstration Program in the Dallas Metropolitan Area. Five other Public Housing Authorities in Chattanooga, TN, Laredo, TX, Long Beach, CA, Cook County, IL and Mamaroneck, NY were added to the demonstration in 2012. SAFMRs are set for zip codes within a metropolitan area, allowing higher rent subsidies in higher cost neighborhoods and lower rent subsidies in less costly neighborhoods.
The researchers tested the impact of SAFMRs on neighborhood quality in the Dallas metropolitan area by comparing the change in neighborhood quality among voucher holders in Dallas to those in Fort Worth, TX. Fort Worth served as a "control case" with a single FMR for the entire metropolitan area. Dallas voucher holders, on average, experienced greater declines in neighborhood poverty, unemployment, and violent crime rates compared to those experienced by voucher holders in Fort Worth. The improvements in neighborhood quality came without any increase in average rents in the voucher program.
When they evaluated rents paid by voucher holders in the Dallas area who moved, the researchers found that rents increased in zip codes with higher SAFMRs but that those increases could be attributed in part to higher housing quality. For every $1 increase in a SAFMR, rents increased by an average of 57ȼ from 2010 to 2013; 19ȼ could be attributed to the voucher holders moving to higher quality housing.
The researchers also evaluated two previous across-the-board metropolitan area FMR increases. In 2001, HUD increased FMRs to the 50th percentile of local rents in select metropolitan areas (FMRs are normally set at the 40th percentile) where voucher holders were highly concentrated in low cost areas. The 50th percentile FMRs, adjusted for apartment size, were applied to the entire metropolitan areas. The higher maximum rent subsidy was intended to enable voucher holders to move to higher cost, high opportunity neighborhoods. In both cases, landlords benefitted from across-the-board FMR increases by collecting higher rents but voucher holders realized little, if any, improvement in housing or neighborhood quality. For every $1 increase in FMRs, rents rose by 47ȼ, but there was no significant change in housing quality among voucher holders.
The authors also evaluated the impact of FMR readjustments HUD made in 2005 to better align them with 2000 Census data. The readjustment resulted in significant across-the-board FMR changes in many counties. The authors found that for every $1 increase in FMR, average rents increased by 41ȼ. Only 5ȼ could be attributed to tenants living in higher quality housing or better neighborhoods.

Malaria Reports is a peer-reviewed international medical journal devoted entirely to the study diagnosis, and treatment of malaria. The journal covers all aspects of malaria, including the pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, epidemiology, and treatment of malaria for physicians and medical scientists. The journal tries to attract papers on malaria in its broadest sense. The journal welcomes papers that:
- provide malaria burden estimates and ways to improve the burden estimation (i.e. using optimal diagnostic tests).
- provide a better understanding of malaria, especially explaining the complex interaction between humans, vectors, climate and the environment. Studies incorporating e.g. socio-economic determinants are strongly encouraged. In line with this objective, we will appreciate papers reporting on interventions against malaria and clinically relevant information that will directly improve the care of patients with malaria.
- report on existing malaria information systems and how these can be improved. Within this context, major health care interventions, usually from a public health perspective, are welcome as well.
All papers will be reviewed by experts in the field, but we articulate that we will publish each submission as long as it is methodologically correct, interesting and sound.
Ceased Publication
Given the new entries in PAGEPress portfolio and the new titles we look forward to welcome in 2014, we have planned an internal reconstruction in order to focus more carefully on the development of our journals.
Thus, starting from 1st January Malaria Reports won't accept any further submissions.
Papers still in review, will be processed and published in the current issue of the journal, and archived issues will be available at this website address.
Moreover, articles will also be accessible through the Portico digital preservation service, our partner in keeping digital contents always available.
We would like to thank Editor in Chief, Reviewers and Authors that have worked to shape and promote this journals.
