From Burning Bush Grille Facebook Page:
"Burning Bush Grille to end operations May 27th, 2017.
Our lease ended April 2017 and as much as we would love to continue to serve the community that has supported us so greatly, it is time for me to retire. At the thriving age of 62, I am blessed with the opportunity to start living the life that I have had to put on hold due to the high demands that come with owning a restaurant.
I am extremely grateful for the people who have helped make this business successful. My family, my employees and most importantly, our loyal customers. The daily interactions, the interesting conversations, and the sharing of life's experiences have all been very special and will be the most missed. Thank you for your support.
So, May 27th, mark it down. It will be our last day of operations as a brick and mortar venture. Shortly I will be posting information about a final day fundraising event with a 100% of donations put to our favorite charity.
I'm sure the coming days and weeks are going to be bittersweet but we are excited to have an extended opportunity to thank you as we bring this iteration of BBG to a close. It was an incredibly wonderful seven years and as they say, "All good things must come to an end"
They will be missed in the Prospect/Goshen area.

Home / Articles / TEFL Teaching English In Spain
Upon my investigation of obtaining a position teaching English as a foreign language in the country of Spain I discovered a bit of vital information. This being that it is rather difficult for an American, or non EU resident, to find work. Though it?s not impossible, the red tape and the jumping through hoops to get the required visa cause employers to look to their native English speaking neighbors in the U.K. and Ireland to fill positions. However, the demand for teachers is high, and if you have the time, money, and patience, eventually something will turn up. There was a common sentiment, and lots of sound advice in the articles I read, which was all very enlightening and, for the most part encouraging. With a little diligence it can be done.
Firstly, something I wish I had known more about before I left the States is getting a work or student visa. Both require a lot of waiting time and preparation before even leaving the U.S. Also, the before mentioned leaning toward to hiring of English and Irish teachers is due to the fact that visas are not required for them, which means no hassle for the employer. However, ?working illegally has few disadvantages. It means you don?t sign a contract, and in theory the stability factor is lower. But, it also means you don?t pay taxes. In some cases you will be paid in cash, while some schools and agencies will give you a monthly pay-to- bearer check cashable at a?.bank.? [1] Still, not having the proper work could mean an ?automatic rejection? from certain schools. That being said, there is an abundance of English schools and a high demand for teachers, not to mention plenty of opportunity for giving private lessons. In fact, the latter is likely to be the most lucrative.
?A private teacher can charge more per hour than he or she might earn from a school. Most private teachers in [Barcelona] charge in the range of 12 to 20 euros a lesson.? [2] It is a good idea to get certified in the field, as you can start out at a higher rate per hour. The only real obstacle is getting to know the area and the people in it, which means spending time there during which you are unemployed. However, there is high level of interest in learning English here. ?There are two major factors that contribute to this. First of all, people?seem to know how important a good knowledge of English is to getting ahead in today?s world. Second, about 70 percent of the local population is completely bi-lingual, already adept at two languages.? This added enthusiasm is very much a plus for teachers, as a willing learning is an attentive one.
Something that was stressed throughout all of my reading was the importance of actual experience. In Spain, although a TEFL certificate is valued, your hiring potential is greater if you have already spent time in the classroom. Employers want to know that you are capable of handling yourself, and won?t fall apart in difficult situations.
It seems that teaching in Spain proves to be more difficult than a lot of other countries, and a lot of preparation is required. ?Students will most likely have been studying English for many years, so they know the difference between a teacher who is prepared and one who isn?t. They also aren?t afraid to speak up if they are unhappy with the class or think the quality is lower than it should be. This means that you, as a teacher, need to be able to answer [the] student?s questions (even the complicated grammar ones), plan lessons, come to class prepared, motivate your students, design interesting and relevant activities, and be enthusiastic about teaching because your students will expect all of this and more.? [2]
All in all, if you?re up for a challenge, the benefits seem to far outweigh the struggles. In the end, it all builds character anyway, which will make for a better teacher.

Pat White could be headed to the Canadian Football League.
White, the former Redskins and Dolphins quarterback, has signed with the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos, the club said Thursday.
White, 28, was released by the Redskins on September 14. In four preseason games with Washington, White completed 28-of-50 passes for 330 yards with two interceptions. He also rushed for 103 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries.
White had been out of the NFL since 2010 when the Redskins signed him last April. He was a second-round pick of Miami in 2009.
White is one of five quarterbacks on the Eskimos' roster. Mike Reilly, who had stints with the Steelers, Packers and Rams in his NFL career, was Edmonton's starter last season.

FRESHLY ROASTED coffee beans, chocolate covered coffee beans & Bondi Chai latte delivered to your home or office!
FRESH Coffee!
For true coffee lovers, only FRESH coffee beans will do. Coffee can only be called "FRESH" for a very limited time after roasting (no more than a month).
Truly FRESH coffee beans are hard to buy. Supermarkets don't sell them as supermarkets need "shelf life" - meaning "very stale" in coffee bean terms! Very few cafés sell fresh coffee beans – even if the beans in their own grinders are superb as the beans sit on their shelves until purchased.
FRESH coffee beans come from coffee roasters – which is usually most inconvenient!
Captain Coffee "roasts & posts" FRESH Arabica coffee beans directly from the roastery to you!
FRESH! REALLY FRESH! Aromatic & delicious!
Shipped the same day your beans are roasted – with the "roasted-on date" stamped right on the sealed, foil bag!

FRESH crunchy coffee beans smothered in rich European chocolate. Confectionary to die for! So good they won "silver" at the Sydney Royal Show!
We roast small batches of Kenya Peaberry coffee beans then rush them to the chocolate panning plant for careful coating with award winning chocolate.
Milk, dark or chilli chocolate is thickly applied. Then the beans are carefully stored in a temperature controlled room waiting for your order.
Always fresh & always delicious! You will simply adore them!
Bondi Chai Latte
You & your friends will totally love this sensational creamy-smooth blend of Darjelling tea, milk, ginger & secret spices. Gluten free too!

Emilia Clarke looks beautiful while hitting the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie Terminator: Genisys on Sunday evening (June 28) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The 28-year-old actress was joined by her co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Courtney B. Vance, as well as Sylvester Stallone and cute couple Lydia Hearst and Chris Hardwick.
Emilia and Arnold recently opened up about doing nude scenes for the movie.
"Naked in a harness was fun – doing stunts, that was good," Emilia said. "That was interesting."
"[Nude scenes] are embarrassing, but fun," Arnold added (via People). "It leads to funny conversations and funny dialogue and great humor and everything like that. It's inevitable, you have to do it because it's what the movie shows, and there are certain times you can cover things up, and there are certain times you don't and you can't. So what? I don't think there's anyone here that has anything to hide."
FYI: Emilia is wearing a Rosie Assoulin dress, Miu Miu shoes, and Delfina Delettrez jewelry.

Mona Ma '11 was initially exposed to the work of lawyers while working as a translator in China, translating documents, including contracts, between Chinese and English. The idea she developed while working on those translations was the seed that eventually became a successful career half at world away.
"While translating contacts back in China, I was thinking it was good I am able to translate this, but it would be better if I could draft the documents," explained Ma.
Ma was raised in China and attended Shijiazhuang University of Economics, where she studied foreign languages, literatures and linguistics. While working she met her future husband, an American overseas on a long-term work assignment. Ma joined him when he returned to the United States, and when looking for a new career, law became an enticing option.
Ma started by working as a legal assistant at Margaret W. Wong & Assoc. Co., LPA, a Cleveland-based immigration firm. Looking for a greater challenge, Ma decided to pursue law school and attend Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
After graduation, Ma accepted a position as associate attorney at Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP, where she had spent a summer as an associate during law school. At Calfee, she does transaction work in a variety of areas including corporate acquisitions, health care, public finance and commercial law. Transactional law was always in the cards for Ma, as the nature of the work fits her mild-mannered personality.
"I was always interested in doing transactional work, even before going into law school," said Ma. "Litigation is adversarial – someone always wins and someone loses – whereas transactional work is mainly collaborative, where we get to work together instead of against each other."

Go HERE and TAG YOURSELF & YOUR FRIENDS!
Summer arrived early in the form of country club chic at Robert Fowler, Candice McCullough, Suzanne DeMambro, and Kerry McVey's party in East Hampton last Saturday. Upon walking in, I felt as if I had stumbled into a Chuck and Blair (as in Bass and Waldorf, respectively) party. It was preppy heaven, brimming with sweaters tossed nonchalantly around partygoers' shoulders, bows and headbands galore, pastels and Ralph Lauren quite obviously as the top choice as guests mingled with the famed polo player-atop-a-horse emblem emblazoned on their chests.
Simon van Kampen and Alex McCord made an appearance and upon discovering that it was their ten year anniversay of their first meeting, they took celebratory shots with the preppy attendees looking on. Douglas Marshall and Stephanie Wei were also on hand to enjoy the festivities.
p.s. Big THANK YOU to ALBERT FIERRO and Fierro's Pizza for nourishing us out in the middle of nowhere with their speedy delivery service! Kudos!

This is spoilers light if there's any at all. I'm mostly going to discuss my feelings about the film, the movie going experience, and the subject matter as it relates to me.
Let me pain the picture: I am running late getting my ticket because it's raining and the only reliably fun thing to do in this city when it rains is watch a movie. San Antonio is a city built for the outdoors. The Riverwalk, outdoor malls, the downtown market area, Mexican restaurants with patio seating…
It's our bread and butter. Even then I thought that the crowds would be seeing Logan on it's opening weekend, but no my theater was almost sold out. I bought one of the last four seats.
Given the obvious racial overtones of the movie I expected it to be mostly black and Hispanic, but the movie was mostly a white audience. I set next to a guy who was about as good ol country boy as they come and his black girlfriend. It was a strange feeling and with the anxiety creeping back in lately I didn't want to be in a theater full of people to begin with.
I stuck it out and the first thing I will say about this movie directly is that it's a strange feeling to have your experiences translated to the screen in such a relatable manner. Black people and white people may work in the same buildings and share the same streets and businesses or even neighborhoods, but there's a certain level of segregation that goes on even today. This creates situations where people don't know how to act around other races in casual settings. It's not always the case, but it happens.
And if you're the only black person at a party or function you can feel like you're on display. If you're dating a white woman (or really any woman of another race) it's a conversation that might come up before you meet their family or friends: "Do they know I'm black?"
Sure, the most organic way to bring this up would be a picture of the two of you. But when you open the door and let it be known you're dating outside your race you open the door to strange shit. People warning you of things to look out for and offering up all kinds of advice that you honestly didn't ask for.
Another strange thing that happens sometimes when you're black around a group of white people who aren't used to it is they'll bend over backwards to try and prove how not racist they are. They'd vote for Obama for a third term if they could. They're jealous of how powerful and beautiful Serena Williams is. Then they're name dropping black artists or actors or telling you how articulate you are.
These things aren't malicious, at least not in the sense of intention, but they still make you feel bad and uncomfortable. They still make you feel like you don't belong.
"Get Out" frames all of this in that sense. You feel Chris's status as an outsider from the moment that he arrives. You have to sit through the award dinner conversation about the athleticism of the black body or hear someone wax on about how their father did so much to help blacks in the past.
And that's the thing, in the later stages "Get Out" makes a great little bit of horror, but the early part of the film sets up the feeling of alienation and it's shocking how well it's done and how you could feel the dread in the entire audience.
Movies like this are important. I told a friend over the phone that I had seen movies about racism from a black perspective before and I had seen black genre movies before, but the two are usually separate. Anything about racism is set in a historical context of slavery or some overwhelming sense of self-determination to overcome adversity. They're never just set in just suburbia and the few that might be out there weren't this well polished.
Media plays an important part in normalizing behavior and what people expect. There's a lot of important stories out there that need to be told. Last year when Donald Glover's new show "Atlanta" was set to premier he said that he had hired all black writers for the show because there was more to the black experience in America than most people had ever seen on television and that it might surprise people. I don't know if you have to separate out the writers, but you have to be willing to listen to the experience of others and take them as valid.
And I'd say with the clapping at the end of this movie people did just that.

When Thanksgiving leftovers begin to be annoying is when I become reflective.
Looking back at the year that is beginning to end. Pondering over missed opportunities. Smiling at the memories that warm my heart. Wondering what might have been and marveling over what was.
The truth is, I learned some hard lessons over the course of the last eleven months.
The lesson learned is that while I don't have a lone wolf mentality, I need to be the pack leader more often.
See, this year I put my faith and energy into other's ideas to satisfy internal cravings. None of them went the way hoped for.
Far from the first time this has happened in my life, but why do I keep going back to the same well rather than digging my own?
I've been trying to fit my work, direction and art into definitions made by others while telling everyone to not do that.
Time to take my own advice.
If you ever hear me use the word 'hustle' you have permission to slap me side the head, but I am going to be selling more. I've always avoided it, but I have to.
My skills as a creative and consultant are ones that can help others and yet my humble New England DNA has prevented me from raising my hand and shouting "pick me" over all the noise.
Mapping out 2017 on paper rather than a whiteboard has been a helpful change for me.
Determining what deadwood to get rid of in my life and not second guessing those decisions is making room for the things I should be focusing on.
Alicia Keys is belting out of my speakers and reminding me that I need to wrap this up and hit publish as there is work to do today.
Little tasks building towards bigger goals.
Success is never handed over lightly. If you rely on others to drive you are never going to get there.

This greatly hails from C.C.'s unstoppable combination of marketing experience and savvy (which a great many professionals claim to have), and incalculably valuable "on the ground" knowledge and insight as an influential content creator himself (which a great many professionals do not). The result is a best-of-both-worlds mashup of marketing expertise.
C.C. Chapman sports the pro cred to be a talker (working closely with such clients as American Eagle Outfitters, Coca-Cola, HBO and Warner Bros.), and the passion and gumption to be a doer (creating content for the emerging Online Dad market, marketing professionals, music fans and more). He's helped create, manage and execute ambitious online and offline marketing campaigns for startups and multinationals — and has the invaluable good sense to know which outreach strategies work with audiences, and which ones fall flat.
He authoritatively speaks your language. He speaks your CMO's language. Most important, he's fluent in your market's language. It's a killer double-chocolate-and-peanut-butter combination. Contact C.C. to learn how he can help your organization achieve its business goals. There's, even more, to know about C.C. Chapman if you want to read it — and you should. C.C.'s skills are an embarrassment of riches.

If you're not a geek, you may not even know what "cognitive technology" even means. Even though most people do not realize it, we are using cognitive services daily through our mobile phones, video streaming services and internet searches. And, as services advance, more brands are disrupting industries with cognitive computing.
Cognitive brings with it fundamental differences in how systems are built and how they interact with humans; that can take the form of chat-bots that can be stood up in minutes, and robots that play poker. Traditional programmable systems are fed data and their results are based on processing that is preprogrammed by humans. The cognitive era, on the other hand, is about teaching the system how to understand inputs without explicit instructions.

I'm not a huge fan of "The Biggest Loser," which has always struck me as a really scary show - a show that seems to teach people to be angry and hate their issues away. TBL is nothing more than a circus sideshow. I don't enjoy its exploitive nature and I don't enjoy how it's made a few people suggest to me "omigod, you should totally go on that show." My god, if you knew me at all you'd know I do not belong on that show.
You know what I enjoy? ABC's home makeover series. I do. I'm a sap. I love television that makes me cry and root for the human spirit. Making over homes and minds and bodies.
So I had no problem posting this to my blog. :)

DreamWorks has officially announced that they are teaming up with EA games to bring us a big screen adaptation of the hit video game franchise Need for Speed. As previously rumored, Act of Valor director Scott Waugh will direct the feature film adaptation from a story developed by brothers George and John Gatins (Real Steel).
The movie won't be based on any individual game, but it will be "a fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise." We've previously heard that it will feature a cross-country race from San Francisco to New York.
The movie is set to be released in 2014, and as a fan of this franchise, I'm excited to see what they end up actually doing with it! Are you looking forward to seeing a Need For Speed feature film? What kind of story would you like to see them do?
Here's the official Press Release:
DreamWorks Studios has acquired the feature film rights to EA's (NASDAQ: EA) popular video game franchise, Need for Speed™, it was announced jointly today by DreamWorks CEO and Co-Chair Stacey Snider and EA President of Studios Frank Gibeau.
Brothers George and John Gatins developed the original story with George writing the feature's screenplay. The screenplay is based on the Need for Speed series, but is not based on an individual game. EA will produce along with John Gatins and Mark Sourian. Scott Waugh (Act of Valor) is attached to direct, and the project will be fast-tracked at DreamWorks with a target production start date for early next year, for a 2014 release.
The film adaptation will be a fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise. In Need for Speed, the cars are hot, the racing is intense and the story keeps players at the edge of their seat.
"I'm excited about getting back into the creative trenches with John and George Gatins and my partners at EA to bring to life an exhilarating script based on an epic video game that seems to have been made for the movies," said Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks Chairman. "This is a big piece of business for DreamWorks and we are grateful to Frank Gibeau, Pat O'Brien, Kevin Maher and John and George for choosing us to deliver their goods."
"George, John and EA brought a very compelling story to us which we believe is going to make a fun, cool movie franchise," said Stacey Snider, CEO and Co-Chair of DreamWorks. "With such a large following around the globe, we're excited to make a film that does justice to the popular underlying video game series."
"We are thrilled to be in business with our friends Steven Spielberg, Stacey Snider and the entire DreamWorks team," said Frank Gibeau, President of EA Labels. "They are the perfect partner to takeNeed for Speed to the big screen by creating the exciting action film that we have always envisioned."
"It's fantastic to be working with a team that shares not only our love of cars, but also our passion for creating blockbuster action experiences. This collaboration will be greatly enhanced with the team at DreamWorks – which is a great home for the Need for Speed franchise," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. Added Pat O'Brien, Vice President of EA Entertainment: "Working with John and George to develop the script has truly been an outstanding experience."
Need for Speed is the premier racing game in the video game industry and one of EA's best-selling video game franchises. Since the release of the first title, the series has sold more than 140 million units worldwide, generating an estimated $4 billion in retail revenue, making it one of the biggest franchises in video gaming.
Need for Speed serves as a reunion with both George Gatins and John Gatins with DreamWorks. George was an executive producer on the studio's 2010 film "She's Out of My League." John's previous projects with DreamWorks include the 2005 film "Dreamer" which he wrote and directed. He also wrote the script for last year's "Real Steel" and has been working on the script for its sequel. He recently wrote the script for "Flight" which will be released by Paramount later this year.
Both EA and John and George Gatins are represented by UTA, who negotiated the deal.

Paul Garrin at a March rally on E. 10th St. to save the old P.S. 64 (former CHARAS/El Bohio cultural and community center) from developers. Garrin says revenue from his top-level domain names would allow the community to buy the vacant building.
The battle of .nyc... and also.sucks, .chat, .weather, .art...
By Lincoln Anderson
When Council Speaker Christine Quinn gave her State of the City address in February, just a few months after the onset of the financial crisis, ways to boost business and raise revenues topped her list.
Among the ideas Quinn mentioned was the creation of .nyc as a dedicated Internet address.
While we look to cut spending, well keep our eyes open for any new sources of revenue, she said then. Heres one thats been right in front of us for years.
Web sites end with dot com, dot org, dot this and dot that. ... New York City will soon have its own place on the Web with dot NYC.
Mark Twain famously advised, Buy land, theyre not making it anymore, the speaker continued. Well now we can make more New York addresses just on the Internet!
A local business wont have to outbid a guy in Kansas to get Tonys Pizza dot com. Theyll be able to get Tonys Pizza dot NYC, a name associated with the greatest city and home of the greatest pizza in the world.
Most importantly, we expect to generate millions of dollars a year through the sale of Web addresses ending in dot NYC.
That all sounded well and good to East Village Internet pioneer Paul Garrin, except for one thing according to him, he already owns .nyc. And he also lays claim to scores of other so-called top-level domain names, or T.L.D.s from .art to .sucks that he says would bring millions more dollars to New York City; that is, if he was only allowed to connect them into the root of the larger, mainstream Internet system.
What Christine Quinn doesnt know is .nyc is 13 years old, Garrin, 51, said during a recent interview at Espresso cafe on E. Ninth St. off Avenue C. Its something Ive been endeavoring to bring to market and weve been deprived of that, and hundreds of other domain names.
Garrin envisions a thriving Internet hub in New York City, with data-center managers operating everything from .nyc which he calls just the tip of the iceberg to .shop (which he assured would be a major money-maker) to, yes, .sucks.
.sucks is reserved for critique thats fair use, he noted.
Among other T.L.D.s Garrin claims ownership of are .food, .sex, .comics, .war, .peace, .tech, .fashion, .movies, .hotel, .weather, .chat and .gay.
Jobs, cash flow and tax revenues would all rise when and if these domain names are given the official O.K., he said; his company, NAME.SPACE would become a billion-dollar business pouring millions into New Yorks economy.
The key to Garrins concept of the Internet is that there should be far greater freedom basically almost infinite possibility in how addresses are written.
For example, he offered, united.com is ambiguous, whereas united.plumbing and united.air are much clearer.
Thats much more granular. Its self-sorting and self-ordering, he noted.
Garrin created more than 500 of these Internet address suffixes as early as 1996.
Few new names
However, he charges that the U.S. government, corporate interests and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN the body set up two years later in 1998 to regulate and assign these names have basically conspired to keep the number of T.L.D.s artificially low.
Garrin filed an antitrust lawsuit against Network Solutions in 1997, but it was tossed out of federal court in 2000, essentially, he said, because the government said immunity applied.
The early nerds of the Internet wanted short acronyms aesthetic, Garrin explained. We had started these [T.L.D.s] before there was a process, and it was working. ... Every bacteria on Earth can get an I.P. [Internet protocol] address, where the address is on the Web. ... I didnt care if they had a monopoly on .com just dont keep us out.
They came up with everything to say it couldnt be done that it would break the Internet. And now they spent $10 million to study it, and come up and say its a good idea, he said of the new push for .nyc.
As it does every few years, ICANN is expected to open up the system soon, reportedly this fall, to allow for new T.L.D.s, to be assigned in early 2010; its believed .nyc is on the list.
The city recently issued an R.F.I., or request for information, to solicit ideas on how .nyc would operate, who would operate it and so on. The responses are due at the end of this month; its possible an R.F.P., or request for proposals, would then be issued to seek applications from parties interested in running .nyc.
Garrin said Quinn is correct in saying .nyc could generate millions. VeriSign, which operates .com and .net, made a $100 million profit on these two T.L.D.s in 2007, he noted. On its own, .nyc might bring in that much, he estimated if 1 million addresses are sold for $100 each.
What it means is money and jobs, Garrin said.
Make A living, not a killing
Yet, Garrin described his personal philosophy as I want to make a living not a killing. He said NAME.SPACE, of which he is the majority owner, has a strong social entrepreneurial core. For example, he said, he would if he is allowed into the root use some of the profits from .nyc and his other T.L.D.s to buy the old P.S. 64 on E. Ninth St. (the former CHARAS/El Bohio cultural and community center) so it could be restored to a community use.
.media another of Garrins T.L.D.s could offer grants to journalists as part of its social enterprise component, he said. Similarly, .women could offer community micro-finance loans benefiting women.
In 2000, he culled his domain names down from 540 to a total of 118 top performers. He sought to activate them through ICANN, but was rejected. Not all might prove equally popular, but thats O.K., in Garrins view.
.culture has a right to be but it might not make it financially, he explained. If there are only 100 people in .culture, they have something to say. He noted .shop, for instance, could help keep .culture afloat.
On a larger level, Garrin said he would use NAME.SPACEs profits from its T.L.D.s to install Wi-Fi in every New York City public school and provide each school kid a laptop; that would cost $500 million to $750 million, he said.
But that could all only happen if his 100-plus T.L.D.s are no longer blocked from coming to market, as he put it.
Riots to hall of fame
Garrin made news in August 1988, when, as one of the few people then toting around a camcorder, he captured one of the two main video recordings of the Tompkins Square Park riots.
A Cooper Union graduate, Garrin was recently inducted into the schools new 150-member hall of fame.
As a video artist, he collaborated with the acclaimed Nam June Paik. But Garrin eventually became disillusioned with the art scene.
I left the art world because it was too ego-ridden, he said, and, for me, political art had to have a real meaning.
Garrin also runs a noncommercial, wireless Internet service, Wi-Fi NY.
Now, at this point in his life, he says, he really wants to make a difference.
People say, What are you, a socialist or a communist? he said. I say, no Im not: Social enterprise is the new post-capitalist paradigm.
ICANN has no public-good agreement, Garrin noted. The money goes to California, into their pockets. ... I predate ICANN. ... Behind cyber space, there are humans.
In Garrins case, hes been operating his servers on an alternate system, not tapped into the main root. His T.L.D.s function properly in this network and, with a few minor adjustments, can work on anyones computer. He wont say how many clients he has, but admits his business has fallen off sharply from its high point when its used to pull in $50,000 a month before ICANN came along. Hes consolidated operations, and his staff now consists of a handful of individuals who work for free.
They figured I would go out of business by this time, but I didnt, Garrin said of the Internet powers that be. I just kept it running even when I had hardly any income.
The Mail must go through
His low point came in 2003 when he landed in Bellevue hospital with a ruptured appendix and almost died. But while he lay hooked up to tubes and IVs, his ever-present laptop was logged into his servers.
Even close to death on a hospital bed, I kept up my business, he said. I made sure that everyones mail worked.
Keeping his system running was also important to him as his companys majority stockholder, he noted, So I wouldnt abandon my claim; I wasnt about to abandon my assets.
In short, NAME.SPACE isnt abandoning its pursuit of recognition of all its T.L.D.s through the ICANN process and otherwise, Garrin said, and reserves all rights to its T.L.D.s.
dot challengers
However, others also have their eyes on .nyc, and hope to have a hand in owning it, operating it or both.
Tom Lowenhaupt, director of the nonprofit Connecting.nycInc, for example, says his group has been pushing the city for years to start up .nyc, but that the city didnt heed their call in 2002 and 2003 when there was a chance to do it.
A former Queens community board member, Lowenhaupt thinks New York City, despite being the worlds communication capital, has poor communication itself, and that .nyc could alleviate the problem. For instance, he envisions .nyc addresses being given to civic or community groups representing the citys roughly 300 neighborhoods astoria.nyc, jacksonheights.nyc and so forth serving as local information and communication portals.
Other addresses could be very lucrative, in Lowenhaupts opinion.
Who gets news.nyc? Who gets sports.nyc? he asked. Those are valuable resources. Do they buy them at auction?
Lowenhaupt confirmed that his Connecting.nycInc would seek to be what is known as the registry for .nyc which is what Garrin says NAME.SPACE is already, as the entity that owns the rights to .nyc.
Of Garrins claims to .nyc and his dozens of other T.L.D.s, however, Lowenhaupt said Garrin was turned down before, but could re-engage himself in the current process that is now starting.
To my knowledge, in 2000, he applied for a large number of these .nyc was one of them, Lowenhaupt said. You were supposed to pay $50,000 per name. [Garrin, though, paid $50,000 total for all 118 of them.] Paul Garrins application was turned down, and they kept the money. ... I dont think youll find many people saying Paul Garrin owns .nyc, Lowenhaupt stated. I know hes upset. He would like to have all those names, but I think they lost.
The Villager put in calls to both Quinn and Gale Brewer, chairperson of the Councils Technology in Government Committee, which has held public hearings on .nyc.
City is getting all ideas
Soon after, The Villager received a call from Nick Sbordone, a spokesperson for the citys Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. Sbordone said the city is still basically figuring out how .nyc would work, which was the reason for issuing the R.F.I.
Its unclear if the city would make money on it, whether the city would have a partner, Sbordone said. After the R.F.I., we may issue an R.F.P.; we dont know yet. We want to make sure were taking the most prudent way, make sure were getting any and all ideas.
Asked if the city recognized Garrins ownership of .nyc, Sbordone said, Thats a question for ICANN.
The Villager called ICANN several times at its Marina Del Rey, Cal., office but could not get through to a live person.
Quinn eventually provided the following statement on the question of ownership of .nyc: We obtained information from ICANN about acquiring a geographic domain such as dot nyc. We are not aware of anyone already owning the extension. We invite all New Yorkers interested in giving input on this
to respond to the R.F.I. or e-mail us on our Web site.
As for his thoughts on Lowenhaupts bid for .nyc, Garrin said simply, Hes trying to steal it from me. ... I own it, I created it. ... He has no business plan; and, again, I have a clear social-enterprise model.
Lowenhaupt, for his part, said he foresees some of .nycs revenue he anticipates it would be only around $6 million being spent in public schools and local communities to foster computer literacy and better understanding of how to use the Internet.
He said hes hearing .nyc might go for as much as $185,000, but would hope the price would be lowered to $25,000, which would help the city to buy it in tough fiscal times.
As simple as SPAWN
As far as Garrin is concerned, though, .nyc already is already firmly logged into his NAME.SPACE system as it has been ever since 1996.
This is my administrative template. I barely show this to anyone, he said with a smile, swiveling his laptop to give a better view of the screen. Creating a new T.L.D. is as easy as Garrins typing it, then clicking on a button called SPAWN. To delete a T.L.D., he simply clicks a button called TERMINATE. It all takes mere seconds.
Garrin said he wants to work cooperatively with Quinn, DoITT and the Bloomberg administration, and to educate them, so that everyone will benefit from .nyc.
Video artist turned socially conscious Internet guru, Garrin is ready and more than willing to share his expertise and knowledge.
Its not adversarial, he said. Im here. Im a New Yorker. I care about my community.

Big science is a massively collaborative endeavor. From the initial theoretical puzzles to the brilliant engineers that build on-of-a-kind machinery, experts come together to make discoveries happen. Case in point: We're moving this 50-foot-wide physics experiment over 3,200 miles of land, sea, and river, starting on Long Island, NY and ending in Batavia, IL. Sometimes understanding the fabric of the universe requires a very technical and very long journey.
The experiment is called Muon g-2 (pronounced gee-minus-two), and will study the properties of muons — tiny subatomic particles that exist for only 2.2 millionths of a second. The core of the experiment is the massive machine built at Brookhaven in the 1990s (assembled above), and a circular electromagnet made of steel and aluminum filled with superconducting cable is its centerpiece. These powerful cables produce a field of 1.45 Tesla, or about 30,000 times magnetic field of our planet.
Back when we ran the experiment, our scientists caught a tantalizing glimpse of physics beyond the Standard Model. But they could only claim a 3-sigma result, which is insufficient to announce a physics-shaking discovery. Clearly, you can't just leave a question about the nature of the not-so-empty vacuum unanswered.
Our friends at Fermilab are giving this instrument a second life. As they explain on the experiment website:
A muon has an internal magnet, sort of like a miniature bar magnet. It also has an angular momentum, much like a spinning top. One way to study as yet unobserved particles and forces residing in the vacuum is to study the behavior of muons in a magnetic field. The Muon g-2 experiment aims to do just that.
Fermilab can produce a more pure and energetic muon beam than we could back in the day, so they can explore particle puzzles with even greater precision. But we can't take that giant ring apart, so we have to move the whole thing very, very carefully. This beastly project includes installing a custom-built suspension system, slowly rolling along multiple lanes of highway (watch the animation!), traveling by barge around the tip of Florida, and then floating up the Mississippi River before arriving in Illinois.
We've had some great coverage from the media, including local outlets that will see this big ring float or drive by. Our favorite headline has to be this gem from CleanTechnica: Honk If You Love Muons. More updates to come after the move begins this Sunday, June 16!

Hypoglycemia-known as low sugar-is a condition in which the blood sugar level falls below70mg%.When blood sugar level s fall, there is an increase in counter- regulatory harmone levels to maintain the optimum blood sugar levels.
In Diabetics hypoglycemia is very common among the
* Elderly
* Debilitated patients
* Patients with infections
* Patients with impaired kidney function
* Patients on insulin therapy
* After alcohol abuse (or) vigorous exercise
* Psychological illness
* Diabetics who fast for religious reasons or those with continuous vomiting are prone to hypoglycemia.
It is more common in insulin-dependent diabetes than maturity onset diabetes(type ll diabetes).Hypoglycemia is more common and pronounced if one aims for intense blood sugar control. Hypoglycemia can result in ECG changes with or without any symptom(silent ischemia). It also can trigger angina,heart attacks,acute heart failure and/or cardiac rhythm disturbances. Some of the recent studies have shown that hypoglycemic episodes increase cardiovascular events and mortality. Studies have also shown that adverse cardiovascular events are three times more common among those with intense glucose control compared with optimal control.Swings in blood sugar levels are equally hazardous.
The challenge of physicians is to adjust blood sugar levels to near normal range and reduce complications of diabetes

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (August 5, 2014) – The Inter-collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) has named its 2014 All-Academic Sailing Team. The All-Academic Sailing Team recognizes collegiate sailors who have achieved excellence in national and inter-conference competition as well as excelling at the highest academic level for the 2013 – 2014 academic year. The All-Academic Sailing Team was inaugurated in 2006. A nominated sailor must have a minimum of a 3.5 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale), junior or senior academic standing and they must be a key starter or reserve on a school's sailing team.
A seven-person committee comprised of representatives from conferences in the ICSA evaluates the nominated sailors. The committee uses the same competition data that is used to determine the ICSA All-American Team, which honors sailors for their exceptional competitive performance.
The committee can select up to ten scholar athletes for both the First and Second All-Academic Teams who have proven to be highly competitive both academically and in competition. This year, for the third time, the committee has also named an All-Conference Team. This team recognizes exemplary sailors who are also great representatives.
Justine Morrison, a Civil Engineering major from Merrimac, MA, was named to the All-Conference All-Academic Team after leading the sailing team to new heights during her senior year. Coast Guard finished sixth at the Women's National Championship, where Morrison crewed in A-Division, and tenth at the Coed National Championship, where Morrison crewed in B-Division. On top of a rigorous sailing schedule, she also maintained a high GPA and participated in numerous student organizations.
"Justine's role on the team was critical to our success last season. I couldn't be more thrilled that ICSA has recognized her accomplishments in the classroom as well," commented head coach Brian Swingly. "Her leadership, dedication, and perspective will truly be missed."
Morrison has been commissioned as a student engineer on Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star, an icebreaker out of Seattle, WA.

After the two "serious" applications it is time for a game. World of Warcraft is currently in open beta and will remain so for at least a couple of more days. Looking around on the web, one can see that this game has been eagerly awaited by hordes of fans of "The Warcraft Universe". For the record: I am not one of them. I've never played any of the Warcraft games and the only reason I picked up this one is because I was bored and looking for something to play.
So how does it play? It a word: amazingly!
The fact I like it is very strange indeed, since fantasy doesn't interest me and "The Warcraft Universe", whatever it is, therefore even less. It is testament to the game solid design and mechanics that I didn't end up playing it for an hour or so and then deinstalling it. Instead, it is has me hooked.
Since the game's scope is so large, I'll just name a few things I particularly liked:
- Amazing environments. It is not so much that the graphics are the best ever (they are not bad, but certainly nothing like Ryzom), but the design itself. Loads of attention to details, fluid transitions between one type of scenery to the next, and the sheer size of the world. If you're an elf and you visit the city of Darnassus, you can help but be impressed by the towering structures and the tall ent-like guardians for instance. The whole place is very imaginative and because there is hardly any loading going on the suspension of disbelief is almost total.
- Great quest system. From the moment you get into the game characters give you quests. As opposed to some other online games, these are actually fun. Sure enough a chunk of them are of the "go there and there and kill stuff", but there are many that involve sneaking around, discovering new lands, even diving for treasure. A lot of care has been put into making each quest feel unique and part of some larger story. Even better than that is the fact that all the quests together more or less come to make an ever expanding tour of the world. First you are sent around the starter-area, then you get a quest to deliver something to the next city down the road, from there you are sent to check out an invasion of kind of creatures in yet another place etc. etc. I found that this is structured so well, especially in the beginning, that the kind of challenge the next quest presents, will be a good match for your character's abilities at the time you are given it. All in all, a lot of fun!
- Travel. Besides going on foot you can take a hippogryph ride (yes like Harry Potter, only more sinister) or a ferry to go from place to place. Instead of being some kind of "teleportation" devices, these things actually work as you would expect. You see yourself flying across the lands, or sailing on board of a ship. On the ferry you can even walk around, as well as talk and trade with the other players on board. The water isn't just an infinite expanse of nothing either. There tons of creatures in it, swimming around sunken ships, carcasses of giant sea-creatures long-dead and debris. You can even learn to fish and gather food (used to improve your health with) that way.
- Crafting. In a lot of games crafting (i.e. creating items) requires a special class of character. The same goes for "healing" classes. No so in WoW. First aid, leatherworking, mining, etc. are skills any character can learn "on the side". Anyone can become a first class cook (prepared food regenerates more health faster) next to being a kick-ass scout or druid or whatever. Fishing and some other abilities can even be learned next to crafting.
- Skills. Next to the range of abilities, spells, recipes and items, there are also skill points. You gets these for each level after 10. These allow you to fine-tune and improve your existing abilities. All this makes for tons of things to do and try, much like Anarchy Online's myriad options for character advancement.
There is tons more I could say, but I'll just close of with three things:
Firstly, the game isn't perfect. It does crash every now and again and sometimes won't work again until after a reboot. Like any online game it also suffers from some lag. I have not noticed this too much, but other people seem to have huge issues with it. Both suck, but so far it hasn't taken away my enjoyment of the game.
Secondly, there is a Mac version available! This is quite rare, if not almost unique in the online gaming world.
Third and lastly, I haven't enjoyed a MMORPG this much since I play Anarchy Online.
So go ahead and give it go while you still can. Get a character and build it up to at least 10 or so and then pass judgement. My first few hours with the game did have some frustrations (you talk to the various chat channels by their number, i.e. /1, /2 etc., this took me forever to find out) but when the whole thing "opened up" I couldn't put it down anymore.
