LAZELLE, HENRY MARTYN (ca. 1833–1917). Henry Martyn Lazelle, military officer, was born about 1833, probably in Massachusetts. He was appointed from Worcester, Massachusetts, to the United States Military Academy in July 1850 and graduated on July 1, 1855. From 1856 to 1858 and in 1860–61 he was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, where he was the first commanding officer. He survived two severe chest wounds from fighting Mescalero Apaches in 1859. During the Civil War he was captured by Confederate troops on May 8, 1861, and was not exchanged until July 28, 1862. He was promoted to first lieutenant in April 1861 and to captain in June 1861. From mid-1862 to September 1863 he was assistant commissary general of prisoners at Washington, D.C. He was brevetted major in 1864. On October 19, 1864, he resigned his volunteer commission. His book One Law in Nature was published in 1872. He was placed in charge of the publication of the official records of the Civil War in 1887. As colonel of the Eighteenth Infantry, he was again in Texas, as commander at Fort Clark, from 1889 to 1894. He retired from active service because of disability in November 1894 and began farming in Virginia. His book Matter, Force, and Spirit or Scientific Evidence of a Supreme Intelligence was published in 1895. After 1898 Lazelle lived alternately in Canada and in Massachusetts and devoted himself to writing. He wrote on such military subjects as evolution in warfare and military life in India, as well as religious and scientific subjects. In April 1904 he retired as a brigadier general. He died at Georgeville, Quebec, Canada, on July 21, 1917.

A private family home complete with luscious green wall has been completed in London by Stephen Fletcher Architects. Just a few weeks after completion, a property in Cale St, London SW3 (also featured on WAN) and designed by Stephen Fletcher Architects was sold.
The same clients then decided to buy this additional property around the corner and embark upon another renovation project with Stephen Fletcher Architects. As at Cale St, little remains of the original property, which was pretty much stripped back to the structural shell.
A basement was excavated beneath the entire property and gardens, a structural glass rear extension erected, and sections of 'walk-on' glazing and a double-height rear lightwell installed. The property now features a series of dramatic and colourful spaces which maximise daylight and the illusion of space, and also belie the rather sober front elevation.

We owe it to ourselves and our patients to keep up with the latest research so we can approach our treatment options with an open mind.
Stuart, Florida (PRWEB) February 12, 2014
Aid in Recovery, a full service drug and alcohol treatment center in South Florida, released a statement today commenting on new research that examine s the link between mental illness and drug addiction.
The study (Comorbidity of Severe Psychotic Disorders With Measures of Substance Use, 1/1/2014), which was authored by researchers from Washington University in St. Louis and USC, was undertaken with the aim of comparing substance abuse in individuals with severe mental illnesses with that of substance abuse among the general population.
According to the study, researchers found that individuals with severe psychotic disorders were at an increased risk for smoking, heavy alcohol use (more than 4 drinks per day), heavy marijuana use (more than 21 times per year) as well as recreational drug use. The study pointed out the finding that public health efforts that have successfully decreased smoking among individuals younger than age 30 appear to be ineffective on individuals who suffer from severe psychotic illness.
"Studies like this are eminently important to our field, because they underscore the complexities involved with treating addiction," said Dr. Michael Lukens, Psychologist at Aid in Recovery. "No two addiction stories are the same. There are some recurring themes, but ultimately we as professionals have to respect that this is a very complex disease we are fighting. We owe it to ourselves and our patients to keep up with the latest research so we can approach our treatment options with an open mind."
About Us
Aid in Recovery is a premier drug and alcohol treatment center. Our approach is defined by recognizing each clients need for a personalized drug and alcohol treatment program. We aren't a hospital-like institution and there's a good reason for that. We believe that treating each client as an individual is crucial to delivering the best possible patient care. At a busy clinic-like program, it simply isn't possible for a therapist to truly get to know each client and understand their specific needs. To best meet the needs of each patient we treat, we offer a diverse curriculum with a focus on both mind and body designed to meet the individual. We treat every patient as an individual and we work with one patient at a time and guide them to a new life in recovery. To learn more about the specifics of our program, please visit our program details page.

Bowling Green Man Avoids Injury When Deer Collides With Vehicle
Bruce Cottrell was traveling east on State Road 46 on his way to work on the morning of November 9 when the Bowling Green man had an unwelcome passenger hitch a ride.
"It was about 7:30 a.m. around the (Ellettsville) IGA when I saw a doe run across the street, because a buck was chasing it, only the doe went across the street and the buck stopped there," Cottrell said with a laugh. "When it came across the highway, it had no place to go, so it turned around real quick and I was slowing down by then. Of course, I'm not going to swerve to avoid it, you just hit your brakes the best you can and at the last second, she jumped in the air and came crashing through the windshield."
Despite the new passenger's dramatic entrance, Cottrell was left with just a cut on his hand and a small laceration on his nose.
"I tucked myself against the door, but I kept my hand on the steering wheel, so I got scratches on my hand from the glass and the rear-view mirror hit me on the nose," he said. "When I got over the initial shock of it all, I looked and there was a deer in the car with me. My first thought is that it's going to wake up, so I dove out of the car. Of course, traffic was all stopped by this point."
Coincidently, Cottrell was enjoying a portion of his newly harvest deer late last week when he spoke to the Spencer Evening World about the memorable incident.
"I called my friend, Bob Miller, because he hunts on my property. I said, 'Hey, Bob, remember when you didn't get anything hunting last week? Well, I got you one and by the way, I need a ride.' So he came and I'm eating summer sausage as we speak," he noted. "It was a close call I must say... it totaled the car, but I got a new one."
Cottrell is far from the only driver to collide with a deer on area roadways as the Owen County Security
Center Dispatch has received an average of four reports daily in the past few weeks.
"Really, deer season doesn't have anything to do with it. It's just time for the deer to mate. A lot of people think it's because hunters are running them out of the woods, but it's Mother Nature. As soon as we get four or five days of really cold weather in a row, it causes them to rut and they start to run, so yes, we've had a lot of them hit in the last few weeks," OCSD Chief Deputy Greg Denny said. "There really aren't any kind of safety tips to give, other than drivers should slow down during pre-dawn and predusk hours and be on the lookout."

What better way to celebrate the birthday of author, A.A. Milne, than by relishing in the words of wisdom of his most famous character Winnie the Pooh.
Words about kindness, friendship, love, and life.
"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?""
"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."
"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."
"Some people care too much. I think it's called love."
"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference."
"People who don't think probably don't have brains; rather, they have grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake."
"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever."
"Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave."
"You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes."


text: Officers of metro law enforcement agencies will be participating in a Central Iowa Traffic Safety Task Force and Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau project this week. The project, which will run this Friday, January 24, from 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., focuses on speed and other traffic violations. These patrol vehicles will be concentrated on I-235 from 50th Street in West Des Moines to 63rd Street in Windsor Heights to address any violations of Iowa law. This increased presence of law enforcement officers is intended to serve as a reminder for drivers to obey all traffic laws. Throughout 2014, members of CITSTF and GTSB will continue their efforts to reduce the number of traffic accidents. They plan to do this through education and enforcement. Motorists are reminded that during the winter months, they should make sure their vehicles are in proper working order and equipped with emergency supplies. Drive safe!

Big Challah
After practicing daily with my six-string braiding crutch
Today I built and baked a six-strand challah
Nailed the braiding, but I hadn't expected (hadn't thought it through) how big this loaf would turn out: it's resting on a 17" drying rack.
The formula is from Ciril Hitz Baking Artisan Bread. Total dough weight was 1172 grams (about 2.5 lb). I use grams to measure ingredients, and calculate bakers' percentage for its accuracy and ease, but, being American, casually, I think and "sense" in pounds and ounces, except this time. And Master Baker Hitz' directions state "Makes 2 3-strand loaves, or 1 5-strand loaf"; surely 6-strand would be even smaller? With only two of us, both wedded to doughs leaner than challah--I prefer sourdoughs, my wife baguettes--this giant will be rock-hard stale before we eat a fifth.
No problem. We love challah as the base for French toast. We have a recipe for "Baked French Toast". We're going to let this loaf sit uncovered for two days, cube it and make it the prime ingredient. Done, breakfast-for-two sized portions will be frozen.

Grilling peppers and onions and then adding them to the sauce kicks it up a huge notch.
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 large cloves garlic
- 2 Italian sausages, mild
- 2 Italian sausages, spicey
- 1 1/2 jars canned tomatoes, 4-5 cups
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 tablespoon pasta sauce herbs mix.
- 2 pounds lean hamburger
- 1/2 onion, chopped finely
- 2 cups ceasar croutons, soaked in milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped finely
- 1-2 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large garlic
- Saute the onion, cloves garlic, crushed and the sausages until the onions are softened. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil and italian herbs. Simmer, stirring often for 30-60 minutes. Meatballs: Lightly stir together all ingredients for the meatballs, working it too much makes the meatballs to dense. Form into meatballs, scooping up as much as you want in one ball, then patting it lightly into shape. Fry in vegetable oil and add to the tomatoe sauce, which is simmering. Take the sausages out of the sauce and slice them (the mild ones with a straight cut and the hot ones at a diagonal, just so you can choose if you have a preference.) Brown them in the meatball fry pan and put them back into the sauce. Deglaze the fry pan with 1/2 cup white wine and add to the sauce. Enjoy!

In order to join the CSA prospective members must first join the cooperative. This involves making a one-time payment of $200 that is refundable when you leave the CSA. This payment is separate from the annual CSA pledge.
We do not charge a fixed amount for membership and members take the produce and milk according to their needs.
The average needed for the 2018/2019 season is $135/adult/month and the pledge amount covers all the vegetables we produce plus up to three gallons of milk per week.
The store is stocked twice a week throughout the year - on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We grow a number of storage crops that are available through the winter and into the following spring.
Items in the farm store, other than vegetables and milk, need to be paid for separately. This includes items produced by us, such as eggs, cheeses, yogurt and meat, as well as items that we buy in such as bread, cookies, maple syrup, dried herbs, herbal teas, tinctures etc.
Our farm year runs from June 1st to May 31st of the following year.
Produce is picked up at the farm - we do not deliver.
Please note that there is a waiting list to join the farm and the only way to get in is to put your name on that list!
If you are interested in joining call Anthony Graham at 603-654-5751 or email him at email@example.com
You are also welcome to visit and to purchase any of the items that are not specifically for CSA members.

A growing body of research shows that children who suffer severe neglect and social isolation have cognitive and social impairments as adults. A study from Boston Children's Hospital shows, for the first time, how these functional impairments arise: Social isolation during early life prevents the cells that make up the brain's white matter from maturing and producing the right amount of myelin, the fatty "insulation" on nerve fibers that helps them transmit long-distance messages within the brain.

And if the high price of fish doesn't take enough of your grocery allowance, pick up a pound of coffee to clean out what's left.
Fish may be good for your health. But right now at least, it will put a noticeable void in your pocketbook.
And if the high price of fish doesn't take enough of your grocery allowance, pick up a pound of coffee to clean out what's left.
Two factors contribute to the exorbitantly high cost of the staples: a fisherman's strike in New England and a drought in portions of South America.
What effect has the high price of fish had on the consumer?
A spokesman for Super Fresh Food Markets said, "Sales are way down."
Take cod. "We normally handle 20 pounds with no problem, but that's been cut to less than 10 pounds. I ordered 10 pounds of flounder for the week, and I still have 10 pounds. And I couldn't get whitings at all.
"Fresh fish prices have skyrocketed" and went up again between Tuesday and Wednesday, he said. Cod went up another 60 cents a pound, and hake jumped from $2.85 per pound on Tuesday to $3.25 yesterday.
Similar examples were cited by spokesmen at Traub's and at Food Lane's corporate offices and by Paul Heckenberger Sr., who operates a seafood shop in the Big M Market at the Allentown Fairgrounds.
They all agreed that although the higher prices haven't touched frozen fish, those prices too will soar if the strike continues.
Heckenberger thinks the fish prices this week aren't quite as bad as they were in earlier weeks of the monthlong fishermen's strike.
"I believe some of the independents are getting out and getting fish to the market," he said, noting, however, the attempt of the independents to open their own auc- tion ran into some violence.
On Tuesday, violence broke out in New Bedford, Mass., near a truck warehouse leased by 14 dealers to sell fish caught by boats not honoring the strike. Fifteen people were arrested in a melee when 300 strikers smashed windows and dented dealers' cars with rocks. No one was injured.
Heckenberger said his price for haddock, while still high, dropped about 50 cents a pound, and flounder prices dropped about 60 cents a pound. But haddock, for example, is still 50 to 60 cents a pound higher than what it had been weeks ago, according to Heckenberger. "The price of scallops is sky- high," he said.
A Traub's spokesman said the store is "paying through the nose" for fish, noting wholesale prices jumped 70 cents a pound and then another 60 cents per pound.
All market spokesmen said fish are still selling. "But nowhere near the levels it had been before the strike."
Undaunted by the whole thing is John Parks, owner of Parks' Sea Food. "People who know true haddock know it's going to be costly,"he said. "Anyone paying less than $3 per pound for haddock is getting cod, not haddock."
Parks also said he's getting everything he wants. But he admitted, "I have to pay the price."
He also said there's "a lot of Canadian fish around, but it travels too long.
"Good fish are still obtainable, but the price is high," he said.
And if you think the price of fish is high, take a look at what you're paying for coffee, which has shot up as much as $1 a pound in past weeks.
Some people have started hoard- ing it, prompting some stores to impose limits. Super Fresh, for example, limits customers to two containers of coffee.
The area market operators indicated sales have sagged but only slightly.
A Food Lane spokesman said customers are looking at shelf retail prices of $4.34 to $4.59 per pound.
While he anticipates some stabilization soon, he admitted, "It's really hard to say where it will end up."
The Food Lane spokesman recalled that the last time coffee prices soared it was gradual. "This latest increase all came in a period of weeks," he said.
"No matter what happens, the sharp increases will have a substantial impact," the Food Lane spokesman said. "There was a 40 percent reduction in coffee sales last time because people shifted away, and it could be even more this time."
The Traub's spokesman said coffee is still selling but sales have gone down slightly, indicating some people are changing their coffee-drinking habits or drinking something else.

My 3-Person show at Corey Helford, opening this Tuesday, Dec. 2nd. If you are on facebook, you can rsvp here. I will have all the images up soon, as well as a blurb on each, but for now:
"Anatomy of a Somnambulist" 12 x 16" Acrylic on wood.
Submerged in sleep, a somnambulist that has been sleep-walking for years, and whose dream-scapes have created a habitat about her.
"And Dream of Sheep" 5" x 5" Acrylic on wood.
The dreamer sees Morpheus, Hypnos, and Phobetor (the gods of dreams, sleep, and nightmare respectively) sowing poppies and riding sheep.
This show deals with the most important journey of the hero/heroine in any story: the difficult and dangerous task of self-discovery. I chose an underwater realm as the stage, since the ocean is rife with mystery, adventure, and the excitement of discovery.
Like searching for a shipwreck, these characters discover a land of forgotten and lost treasures that lie submerged in their subconscious-- the world they enter in sleep. This dream world is the same inner realm of childhood, inhabited by other portions of themselves, by potentialities they have never realized, and the undiscovered dangers and wonder of their personalities.
I referenced a few stories of famous "sleepers" like Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream. In all of their magical slumbers, there is a death of the real world in order for the fantastical world to be born. I tried to create an ambiguity in these pieces that connote danger, darkness, fear, and death, but also life, beauty, wonder, and fantasy.
Thanks for all the nods:
Many thanks for the awesome "Arrested Motion" folks for offering me my first interview, as well as previewing my 3-person show!

La! My Next Show...
I will have 9 pieces in this show come December, my largest output since April. These are also the most detailed pieces I've ever done, and I'm really happy with how they're turning out! Be sure to check back for the rest of the images, and for some background on what the pieces are about.
Tell your friends! This show will only be up for a week, so please try to swing by if you are in the LA area. It would mean a lot to me :)
p.s.: In case I haven't said so already, I'll be going by just Mia from here on out in my gallery work, but I'm keeping my three names on the blog/website/flickr/etc. for clarity's sake.

Well, folks, yet another year is soon coming to an end. Which means another year in Sports is coming to an end. Let's see if we can combine the two and create some entertainment for ourselves….ok?
First; baseball. The bearded Boston Red-Sox became the hairiest team to ever win the World Series, and the hairiest team period since the fabled House Of David squad, a century ago. If my mother were alive, she'd say, "It doesn't mean a thing until they get their hair cut!" So I guess, for me, the Red-Sox winning the World Series is significant because it reminds me of my mother. What a hoot she was….
Speaking of baseball, did you know that they are finally going to blow up Candlestick Park? It's about time. The 49ers play their final game there on Monday. Maybe the worst sports stadium of all time.
But also a source of great memories. The San Francisco Giants (my favorite baseball team) played their games there for 40 years, ending in 2000. It was a baseball park so cold that the great Yankees right fielder Roger Maris once remarked that if he had to play there every day, he'd retire. Ironically, Maris had one of his greatest moments in Candlestick's right field, when his throw to the cut-off man in the 7th game of the 1962 World Series held Matty Alou at third base, leading directly to the Yankees winning the game and the series a minute or two later, when Willie McCovey's liner nestled into Bobby Richardson's glove. I myself went to two baseball games there in my life. The first one was in 1976, and it was an epic. I was in college up there at the time, and my cousin Bobby invited me to go to a Cubs/Giants game with a bunch of his fellow transplanted Chicago stockbrokers. During the game a full scale on-field riot broke out, when Jim Barr hit the Cubbies' star 3rd baseman Bill Madlock with a pitch. Maybe the greatest baseball brawl ever. And I was right there. Twenty years old, in college, on my own (sort of), with my whole damn life before me. God, I miss being young…..
Basketball. I need to say a few words about Kobe Bean Bryant. First of all, I love that a famous guy's middle name is Bean. Beyond funny. But things haven't been so funny for the Black Mamba lately. He tore his Achilles tendon at the end of last season, and now, just after he finally returned to the court, he broke a bone in his leg. Out six weeks. Oh sure, he can take solace in the $48 Million dollar contract extension he just signed. But I don't think he'll ever be a basketball superstar again. I really don't. He might be good, but he'll never again be great. Not after those two serious injuries back-to-back. Plus pretty soon he'll figure out that the Lakers are no good and that he'll, therefore, never win another title. Which will sap whatever enthusiasm to be great he has left in the tank. And there's one more reason Kobe will never again be great….Kobe is OLD! He's a 35-year-old man trying to play basketball. This year is shot. Next year he'll be 36 when the season starts. You know what Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Bill Walton, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson all had in common when they were 36? They were already retired.
But as Kobe fades from greatness, when I think of him in years to come the first thing that will pop into my mind will be his admitted sexual encounter (be it rape or otherwise) with the pudgy 19-year-old desk clerk in Colorado in 2003. Which makes Kobe the basketball Bill Clinton. In this world you are what you do. You can't un-ring the scandal bell. Kobe will always be the guy who did the pudgy desk clerk in Colorado. Clinton will always be the guy who got hummers from the pudgy intern in the Oval Office. Period.
Speaking of U.S. Presidents, 'ya know who Richard Nixon suddenly reminds me of?
Barry Bonds.
No, the Sports Philosopher hasn't been dipping into the sacramental wine.
Think about it. In 1972, our 37th president was on the verge of all-time greatness. He'd opened the door to Red China. He was about to end the Vietnam War. America was going through a period of decent prosperity. And he was about to be elected as president for the 2nd time, in a landslide. The same man who a decade earlier had lost elections for both president and governor. He was on the verge of immortality. But no, rather than turn in the Watergate burglars and take responsibility for it and say right away it was wrong and he didn't know about it (which would have made him downright beloved), he decided to "stonewall" it and try simply not to get caught. Well, he got caught. And he had to resign in disgrace. What a boob.
Same with Bonds. He was already one of the greatest players of all time. But then rather than just accept that, and waltz into the Hall Of Fame, he gulped Steroids, became maybe thee greatest player of all time….but like Nixon, he got caught. So in 2007 he went from earning $15 million a year to not a single major league team offering him a contract for the major league minimum salary. And the writers will never let him in the Hall. Just as they refused him admittance this year. It is one of the saddest and strangest sagas in recent baseball history…. What a boob.
Golf in 2013 (and every year) was about Tiger Woods. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to feel sorry for the guy. It's been almost 6 years since he won his last major. Unthinkable. And do you suppose his girlfriend, skier Lindsay Vonn, quizzes him from time to time on whether he's backslid and gone back to hookers, waitresses, and porn stars? And have you noticed how much Vonn looks like a couple of Tiger's old mistresses?
Tennis 2013 was all about Rafael Nadal. He is a living metaphor for all of us, regarding the overcoming of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. And if I had to pick a "2013 Athlete Of The Year", Rafa would be it.
Speaking of awards, it's time to hand out the Sports Philosopher's cherished annual PLAXICO BURRESS I'M SO STUPID IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR EVEN SMART PEOPLE TO FIGURE ME OUT AWARD for 2013. It goes to the year's dumbest athlete. We call it "The Plaxico" for short. Plaxico Burress, the man the award is named after, was of course the inaugural winner of the award in 2009, for shooting himself in the leg at a New York City nightclub. Which of course is really dumb on its face, but which also led directly to his going to prison for two years for carrying a gun. Other annual winners include Gilbert Arenas, Chad Ochocinco, and Manny Ramirez. And this year's winner of The Plaxico….roll of the drums please….goes to Baltimore Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil. The reason Elvis is even on the Ravens is why he won the award. Y'see, Elvis spent the first 7 seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos. And he wanted to stay on the Broncos. He even agreed to a minor restructuring of his contract so that the Broncos could keep him and still save a little money. Furthermore, his $12 Million dollar salary for 2013 was guaranteed. Guaranteed provided, that is, that he got the proper paperwork for the restructure deal into the Broncos' office by 2:00 p.m. MT (4:00 p.m. EST) on March 15th 2013. Well, Elvis and his agent must have gotten a little confused along the way, because the paperwork was faxed in at 2:06 p.m. Six minutes late. The Broncos used this convenient loophole to void Dumervil's contract, they released him immediately, and saved themselves millions of dollars of salary cap room. It all happened quicker than you can say Elvis has left the Broncos' building. Dumervil promptly fired his agent, and signed a contract with Baltimore a couple weeks later for far less money. Worse than that, he's not on the team he wanted to be on. Baltimore is having an off year. Denver is favored to go to the Super Bowl. Enough said.
Anyway, congratulations, Elvis.
Finally, a final word about NFL football. And it's about the aforementioned Denver Broncos. Because in football, for me, 2013 comes down to one guy, Peyton Manning. Denver's quarterback. Manning is the greatest regular-season NFL quarterback ever. For instance, he just broke the record for touchdown passes in a season. But of the great QBs, he's also the worst playoff performer ever. The worst! EIGHT 1st-round exits. Several mind-numbing interceptions. Last year, with the season on the line, he meekly took a knee in regulation….and then threw the season-blowing interception in overtime. In the payoffs, Peyton sucks. It's the NFL's dirty little secret that no one wants to talk about. It's the elephant in the room. So, looking ahead to 2014, I'll be watching to see if he can overcome 15 years of perplexing failure in the post-season. The Broncos are a powerhouse. They are favored to win it all. If Manning plays great they will win. But if he doesn't and they don't….
Okay, big picture. It can be the same with you and me. We all have things about ourselves and our lives we'd like to change. The question is can we—you, me, and Peyton Manning—all make 2014 the year we finally do so? Can we improve and break through? Can we all practice what I'm preaching?
Who knows? Just do your best. Happy Holidays, everybody.

Postcards line the walls with messages from places as far flung as Singapore and as near as White Plains.The pictures depict small towns in states like South Dakota, tourist capitals like London, England and resort spots like Hawaii. All of the cards are addressed to students at the Pines Bridge School at Putnam | Northern Westchester BOCES.
Carolyn Schneider, the teacher who launched the postcard project, said the students received 639 cards including 430 from all 50 states and 209 from around the world. Forty-one students participated in the project, which began as an offshoot of an English Language Arts lesson that features a story about a boy who receives postcards from around the world.
"I was amazed at how many parents took it upon themselves to promote this," said Schneider. "It was something that parents and children could do together and involve family and friends. It was fun and the end result is pretty."
One mom put an ad in a newspaper in Liverpool, England, asking for postcards and another wrote to chambers of commerce around the country seeking cards. When the school year ends, each student who participated will get to take home the postcards that were addressed to him or her. One parents plans to decorate a wall of her daughter's room with the cards she received.
As the postcards came pouring in, Schneider said, she used the activity across the curriculum. Students located places on the map, counted and categorized cards, calculated how many cards were needed to reach representation from all 50 states and more. For their part, the students enjoyed seeing their names displayed on the cards and taking in the sights from so many diverse places.

In late September and early October, as Hillary Clinton was pulling ahead to a six-point lead over Donald Trump, a handful of polls were released that ostensibly found that millennial voters lack enthusiasm for her candidacy. Fewer said they were likely to vote this year than in the past couple of elections, and many more of those who did plan to vote told pollsters that they'd support a third-party candidate this year than in past cycles.
Among young people who say they'll vote for a major-party candidate, Hillary Clinton is crushing Donald Trump. In some polls, she leads among millennials by a larger margin than they favored Barack Obama over Mitt Romney in 2012.
But perhaps weary of covering Trump's inanities, and facing a relatively stable race, pundits rushed to analyze Hillary Clinton's "millennial problem." At New York magazine, Jonathan Chait blamed Bernie Sanders, and Brian Beutler argued in the New Republic that older liberals had failed to "teach millennials about the horror of George W. Bush." Meanwhile, some millennial writers projected their own political preferences onto their entire generation. At Newsweek, Emmett Rensin wrote that it's maddeningly simple: "young voters are reluctant to support a candidate who does not represent their policy preferences." And at The American Prospect, David Atkins, who has long complained that the Obama administration hasn't been "bold" enough in its approach to tackling major issues, wrote that Clinton's problem is that younger voters see her as "a protector of President Obama's legacy" and, while they have a positive view of the president, they "have found the Obama administration too tepid in its approach to tackling major issues."
What's really going on here is simply a reversion to the mean. Clinton's "millennial problem" is based entirely on comparisons with young voters' enthusiasm for Barack Obama. But Obama's candidacy was unique, and singularly exciting for a generation that values diversity. Gary Jacobson, a political scientist at the University of California San Diego, explains that "this is the age cohort that typically has the lowest level of turnout, and they're the hardest ones to mobilize. Obama was a special person in the sense that he was the first African-American, and he was stylistically closer to that generation than Hillary Clinton is. The identification they might have with someone who is as exciting and interesting as Obama doesn't work as well with Hillary Clinton."

Harris has proposed legislation that would add three new members to the panel, which currently consists of three gubernatorial nominees and two mayoral picks. Harris wants the governor to select a city charter school parent and the mayor to pick a parent representative from a district school plus the president of the city's student government association. (The student would be a non-voting member of the SRC.)
SRC members are not paid.
The legislation, Harris said in a release, would "ensure that parental voice and involvement is a permanent voting fixture on the School Reform Commission...we can no longer depend on an informal voice from parents and students with regards to the education of their children and themselves."
Of the five current commissioners, two - Wendell Pritchett and Sylvia Simms, both mayoral appiontees - have children or grandchildren who attend city schools. Pedro Ramos' children recently graduated from district schools.
What do you think - good idea? Necessary? Will it gain steam?

The US Invasion of European Fixed Income
Capital is expensive and getting more expensive. But the problem is proving a much harder one to manage in Europe, with European banks continuing to deleverage and already complying with the principles of Basel III while US banks have their capital houses (relatively) in order. The impact of this dichotomy is broad, but one impact… Read More »

#CandyCrush has become a global phenomenon and has brought in millions of dollars for the developers, King Digital. Seeing the potential in the firm, Activision Blizzard has decided to acquire the developer group for a resounding $5.9 billion. This effectively means that the game will be shown in the Play Store and other app hubs under the Activision Blizzard banner.
Going by the current trend, this seems like a wise acquisition by Activision Blizzard and could bring in a few million dollars in terms of in-app revenues for the developers. Games such as these are milk cash and keep generating revenue consistently. King Digital also has a couple of other games to offer apart from Candy Crush, so there's no dearth of revenue really.
It will be interesting to see if this acquisition will bring any changes to Candy Crush, which seems like a risky thing to do considering that it's a favorite with millions out there. What do you make of this news?

Autumn Gear Guide
Find inspiration in our Gear Guide that will keep you out on your bike through wind or rain.Download Now
Stuff these items into your carry-on and you'll be gliding safely and stylishly from museum to monument to Michelin-star restaurant.
Whether packing for Perth, Prague or Poughkeepsie, every traveler needs a checklist. How else will you remember your passport, toothbrush and helmet? When travel plans include tooling around on two wheels, you'll want to tote more than just your toiletries. Stuff these items into your suitcase and you'll be gliding safely and stylishly from museum to monument to Michelin-star restaurant.
The Bike
For their instant mobility, convenience and independence, folding bikes are a traveler's best friend. The Rolls-Royce of all foldies, the Brompton offers a high-tech ride and coat-check convenience in one ridiculously compact package, practically eliminating the need to carry a lock. But there are also a number of fantastic folding bike options at lower price points for any two-wheeled traveler. If you're set on taking your full-sized bicycle along for the ride, check out the Adventure Cycling Associations instructions on Boxing Your Bicycle, and Guide to Shipping & Bike Cases for longer trips. Going the ultra-light route? Investigate your destination's bike-share options by visiting its municipal transportation website.
The Lock
The Kryptonite Evolution Mini is the smallest mid-high-security U-lock currently on the market, and the Abus Bordo is a compact, lightweight high-security folding lock the size of a pencil case. Either one is a fantastic option to keep your ride safe and your bags light!
The Helmet
Research ahead to see if there is a mandatory helmet law in your destination region. Australia, for example, has a mandatory helmet law across the entire country, while a number of cities, states and provinces in North America enforce regional laws. If you'll be cycling a lot on bike share or on your own bicycle, it makes sense to pack your own helmet along to cut down on costs and trips to the rental shop.
The Clothes
Your sartorial mantra should begin and end with "layers." Technical undergarments that wick away sweat are a good foundation, but it's the final layer that matters most. If rain is in the forecast (check online before departure day), pack a synthetic, water-resistant jacket that covers the thighs – consider a Cleverhood to keep you dry on any occasion – or go the budget route with a plastic rain poncho that costs less than a fiver at most bike shops.
The Eyewear
Keep midsummer sunshine out of your eyes with a sturdy pair of impact-resistant, UV-protective lenses. Oakley's offerings span the spectrum from sporty to dinner-with-the-queen appropriate.
The Lights
In some cities – Paris, for one – you're legally obliged to light up your bike after dark. Pack a pair of lightweight, compact, USB-chargeable (for example, Planet Bike) lights to play it safe and legal, wherever you roll.
The Bag
A mesh-backed backpack does double duty by equally distributing weight across your back while keeping it perspiration-free. Deuter and Ortlieb offer designs that lean toward the sporty-but-über-functional side. Po Campo's Bike Share Bag is specifically designed to fit securely into North American bike share baskets, or try a style-forward pannier with straps or handles from brands such as Hill and Ellis or Linus to move easily between on-bike and off-bike functionality. If you're unsure about the basket/ back-rack capacity of the bike you'll be riding, it can never hurt to pack a bungee cord or two to strap down your valuables.
The Shoes
With standard pedals, the shoe style is less important that the sturdiness of its sole. Pack footwear that offers a solid stride for walking and you'll get the same firm feel on your bike. Shoe lines such as El Naturalista and John Fleuvog maximize quality without minimizing fashion. Treating your shoes with a weatherizing product will help repel water in inclement weather, and stuffing them with socks and other soft items makes the most of your suitcase space.

Is devolution better for Wales?
Has devolution helped improve the lives of the people of Wales?
It's a question we ask ourselves all the time but it's particularly pertinent now for a number of reasons.
First of all, the independence referendum in Scotland is making everyone think about the political make-up of the UK in a way that has not happened before. I'm wary of too many comparisons between Scotland and Wales because frankly the two countries are so different and crucially the two countries' relationships with England are so different but it was always going to have some kind of impact in Wales, we are just not sure what that will be yet.
Secondly, we've just hit the 15 year anniversary since the National Assembly for Wales began its life.
And thirdly, the Welsh government's record in delivering public services is coming under unprecedented scrutiny from politicians at Westminster and from Fleet Street.
Enormous challenges
So all this week we're looking at the areas that affect your lives.
Health accounts for close to half of everything that is spent by the Welsh government so the state of the NHS is inevitably the hottest topic.
Like virtually everywhere else in the western world, Wales is dealing with an ageing population and in certain areas a population with some of the most chronic health problems in the UK.
The challenges are enormous and parts of the NHS in Wales have struggled to cope, particularly in waiting times for treatment.
This has been thrown into focus sharply by some of the statistics comparing Wales with England.
In Wales, for example, around a third of people wait more than two months for an ultrasound scan while in England that figure is less than 1%.
Difficult territory
Health statistics are notoriously complex and the Welsh government points out that in many areas Wales performs just as well, if not better than parts of England. We'll be exploring some of these issues during the week.
Education is probably the area where there is now the biggest difference between Wales and England.
The Welsh government picks up the tab for a big chunk of university tuition fees of students from Wales wherever they choose to study and developments like free schools and academies in England have been rejected here. The latest results in international education league tables called Pisa suggest the reforms in Wales are not working, so we'll be assessing the challenges the system faces.
And when it comes to the economy, which has been difficult territory for Wales following the demise of heavy industry, there is a positive development to reflect upon.
Unemployment levels in Wales are currently around the same as the UK average which historically has not been the case. In fact, on this measure Wales is outperforming areas like the north east of England.
The question is who should take the credit? The Conservative-led government at Westminster or Labour in Cardiff Bay? The debate about who owns the economic recovery is arguably going to be the biggest debate of the lot over the next year.
And then there's the future, the Welsh government is gaining new tax and borrowing powers and there are calls for more powers to be handed over from Westminster in areas like policing and criminal justice.
There are those who say these arguments should be considered separately from the arguments over the record of the Welsh government of the day. And strictly speaking they are right because the constitutional settlement is permanent while a government is temporary.
The problem is I don't think that difference exists in the minds of the public, particularly when you consider how unlikely it is in Wales to have anything other than a Labour-led administration in Cardiff Bay, so inevitably the debate comes back to the record of the Welsh government and that is what we'll be putting under the spotlight this week.

Malaysians have protested outside the Russian and Ukrainian embassies in Kuala Lumpur, demanding justice for the victims of flight MH17.
Malaysians demand answers from Russia and Ukraine over MH17
Malaysians demand answers from Russia and Ukraine over MH17
Forty-three Malaysians including the 15 crew were killed. The plane was shot down four months after another Malaysia Airlines jet disappeared on its way from the Malaysian capital to Beijing.
"We have lost one plane MH370 and today we lost MH17. So, we would like to know who is responsible for that shooting (down) of the plane. We are not accusing the Russians, neither we are accusing Ukraine, (as) the honourable prime minister said, he has actually secured for the black box to return back as evidence this morning," said protest organiser Chris Wong.
"The return of the remains and the return of the two black boxes are not good enough, no it's not good enough. We want justice to be served. We want to know the real perpetrators, the criminals, the culprits," demanded another organiser, Khairul Azwanharun.
Although other western leaders echoed widespread public anger, Malaysia's government said little.
Reports say the Prime Minister Najib Razak worked intensely behind the scenes to make contact and negotiate with the rebels, culminating with the deal announced this week.

That's the only way to explain that memorable streaking scene in 2003's "Old School." It's also the only way to explain his willingness to wear full-body Spandex in last year's "Blades of Glory."
And it's the only way to explain his signing up at all to do the semi-comedy "Semi-Pro, " opening today in wide release.
Essentially what he's done here is sign on for a one-joke movie -- a brainless boob buys a professional basketball team -- the plot of which serves no other purpose than to provide a unifying framework for a string of one-joke skits.
Here's the poker table skit. Here's the bear-wrestling skit. Here's the swearing-at-the-ref skit. Ho-hum.
It actually wouldn't be so lamentable if the skits were funny. Unfortunately, what few good laughs there are in "Semi-Pro" are cheap, lacking any cleverness and relying instead on the shock of strong language or Ferrell's style of high-volume goofballery.
On paper, "Semi-Pro" actually holds a scrap of promise, telling as it does the story of a former '70s pop star who sinks the money from his short-lived music career into a team in the maverick American Basketball Association.
Unfortunately for Ferrell's player-owner-coach -- with an impressive head of curls offset by regrettably short shorts -- he finds himself on the losing end of the ABA merger with the NBA. Not only does his team have to finish in the top four in the league to keep from being dissolved, but he's also got to figure out a way to boost his team's pitiful attendance.
What Ferrell's character lacks in on-court smarts, however, he more than makes up for in promotional prowess.
Cue the newfound motivation, cue the late-season surge, cue the plot that is derivative of any number of sports movies.
Along the way, the film does have a smattering of positives. Musician Andre Benjamin -- half of the Atlanta hip-hop duo OutKast -- gets a chance to show off his impressive ball skills. It's also nice to see well-known basketball enthusiast Woody Harrelson hit the hardwood again -- remember him in 1992's "White Man Can't Jump"? -- this time with Javier Bardem's "No Country for Old Men" haircut.
And, of course, there is funnyman Ferrell, who has a wonderful way of making even the biggest big-screen boobs lovable.
Here's the thing about Ferrell, though: He's the comedy equivalent of coffee with chicory. You either like him or you don't -- there's no in-between.
But even those who have a taste for Ferrell's chucklehead act -- and I confess that I do -- are liable to grow impatient with "Semi-Pro."
You want real entertainment? Skip the movie and head to a Hornets game instead.
They don't shoot free throws with the same panache as Ferrell, and at last check they weren't holding a "Corndog Night" promotion -- but at least you know you'll be supporting a winning cause.
Emptying the critic's notebook on "Semi-Pro":
• Call it: The phone number appearing in some "Semi-Pro" ads, 1-800-TROPICS, is a real number. Call it, and you'll hear a recording of actor Will Ferrell offering information about ticket packages for his fictional basketball team.
• Familiar face: The actor who plays superfan "Dukes" is no stranger to sports movies. One of the Oscar-nominated Jackie Earle Haley's earliest roles was as Kelly Leak in 1976's "The Bad News Bears."
• Feeling the love: At midweek this week, the video for Ferrell's character's song "Love Me Sexy" had more than 930,000 views on YouTube.
• Feeling the love, part 2: To pump up awareness of their film, the folks at New Line Cinema sent a Valentine's Day card to movie critics featuring Ferrell, in character, wearing nothing but tube socks, gold jewelry and a strategically placed basketball.

Straight out of Brooklyn is a improvisational trio that frolics far in the outer reaches of avant-garde. Iron Dog, consisting of Sarah Bernstein (digitally altered violin, poetry recital), Stuart Popejoy (electric bass, synthesizer) and Andrew Drury (drums, mayhem), create odd sounds both digital and analog, inserts spoken verses of Bernstein's eerie, esoteric poetry and collide them all together to form abstract splotches on an sonic canvas. It's not mere music, or even mere noise but rather, edgy, offbeat performance art.
That's how, in very broad terms, to describe Iron Dog's first studio album — and second overall — Interactive Album Rock, which is very interactive but not anything like album rock. You can find any description of them involving the use of extreme adjectives, and I will soon follow with a few of my own, but it's nothing to do with three musicians playing fast and loud for forty-seven minutes straight. Iron Dog instead explores the spaces between the notes as much as the notes themselves, thriving on minimalism to put the odd sounds they create in sharper relief.
Culled from a single, extemporaneous session, Interactive Album Rock is broken up into nine discreet tracks stringed together by its ominous sentiment. The tactics might change a bit, and that's what sets each track apart. So, for "The Slow Train" there's a disquieting electro-acoustic cauldron suggesting stress from Drury's randomly paced drums but never boiling over. "Love Segment" is first awash in ambience, eventually settling into a two chord bass figure that's turned into skronk after echoing poetry recited amidst increasingly assertive drums. "Februarists" is a tale of two speeds, with the violin and bass going slow, and the drums going fast. But ultimately, violin and bass speed up, reflecting how the three start out in three disparate places and end up in roughly the same spot.
Bernstein is adept at leveraging the technology to get impactful sounds out of her processed violin, and it's not just from the scraping of strings. With "He Said Writing," her fractured pizzicato is dancing about Popejoy's random blurting synth sounds and Drury's darting patter. She makes her violin even approximates the sound of a wounded trumpet alongside electronic industrial drone on "Pain Glorious." By the time we reach "Full Employment," the one moment where silence is destroyed by a blizzard of bionic violin swirls, the thrash-jazz groove the trio eventually settles into sounds downright conventional by comparison. The whole gorgeously guided chaos comes to a close with the ominous, barren sonic soundscape "Is It For Breaking," as Bernstein asks over the chiming bass notes sounding like tolling funeral bells, "are you ready for this?"
It's a fair question, but more appropriately asked at the beginning of the album, not the end. And if you're ready for it, Iron Dog delivers in a big way.

Claude Nougat, author of the new book Forever Young, has written many pieces from her home in Italy for BoomerCafé, and what they've shown is a woman with an active, lively life. But what does it all mean? Is this the definition of retirement? That's what Claude writes about now for baby boomers at BoomerCafé: Retirement, she insists, is not a dirty word.
When I was a young woman working for the United Nations, I sometimes came across older colleagues at the cafeteria whose heated discussions seemed to indicate that their only concern in life was retirement.
I was appalled.
I heard them counting the years and even the days to retirement, the pros and cons of the best pension packages on offer, and I couldn't believe it. They sounded like Martians. To me, work came first, I was proud to be able to serve in the fight against poverty and hunger in the Third World (I worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization, involved in development and emergency aid); retirement couldn't have been further from my mind and in some way, worrying about it seemed debasing. And pointless.
That was not what life was about. Life was about doing positive things, coming in aid to people in need, loving your family and children, enjoying and supporting your friends, discovering the world -– and in my case, writing novels in my spare time (of which I had very little).
Life was not about retirement. A dirty word, in my mind, it evoked a vision of decrepit old people, sitting around all day long, doing nothing.
[Forever Young by Claude Nougat is available now at Amazon.com.]
Oh, but now that I am myself retired, how that vision has changed! I now realize that retirement is not a dirty word,though it is a difficult thing to handle.
First, in spite of what anyone tells you, retirement is not an eternal holiday. It is not about traveling the world and discovering new people. It can be that too (and it is fun, no doubt about it) but that is not the main point of it.
Retirement is a golden opportunity for a second career, a second life.
Yes, in retirement, life starts again, the way it did in our twenties when we started on our first job. And that is the catch. It is exactly as hard and challenging to enter the post-work phase of our life as it was to enter into our working life as a young adult.
We face the same harrowing questions. What should I do? What am I good for? What is my life all about? You thought you had shelved those questions forty or fifty years ago? Well, you discover that you are wrong. Those very same questions have come back to haunt you. Everything you thought you had solved when you'd embarked on your career rises up to the surface again. Unsolved.
And that makes retirement a difficult phase of life to handle. You need to address those issues. In one simple sentence: what are you going to do with the rest of your life? You are still in good health, and you might have some income difficulties (not everyone is lucky enough to retire with a huge nest-egg), but overall, the money problems you are facing are probably not as dire as theywere when you were in your twenties starting out.
That's when you begin that difficult inner trip, inside yourself, into who you are and what your life means, delving deeper than you have ever done before. Because now is your last chance on the face of this Earth and you know it. You don't want to mess up your last chance, do you?
And above all, you don't want to retire from life, from living your life. You have a right to live it down to the last breath, live it to the hilt. And your job now is to figure what that means,"Living life to the hilt." It means very different things to different people: if you wanted to be an artist or a writer or a musician and never had the time for it because of work demands, this is your chance; if you wanted to delveinto charity work, into teaching, into child care or elderly care because you feel for others, this is your chance; if you wanted to study paleontology or the history of World War II, this is finally the time for it.
Retirement is not about retiring from active life, it's about adopting a different active life, a new one -– and just as active as the previous one! In fact, since I've been "retired," I have never worked so hard in my life. Up at dawn, I'm often at my computer late in the night, writing until two in the morning … Hey, I wrote this piece for BoomerCafé before breakfast!
So, let me say it loud and clear: retirement is not a dirty word. Retirement is not about retiring!

Did Castro hold back Cuba?
Alongside his depiction as a "brutal dictator", negative reflections on Fidel Castro since his death on November 25 have focused on his "mismanagement" of the Cuban economy and the consequent "extremes of poverty" suffered by ordinary Cubans. This caricature is problematic – not only because it ignores the devastating economic impact of the United States embargo over 55 years, but also because it is premised on neoclassical economic assumptions. This means that by stressing economic policy over economic restraints, critics can shift responsibility for Cuba's alleged poverty on to Castro without implicating successive US administrations that have imposed the suffocating … Continue reading
