Clinton's patriotic act - not to resign
John Hughes suggests that President Clinton should resign to save the nation the travails of a Senate trial in his opinion article "The patriotic thing - to resign" (Dec. 16). On the contrary, it is the Congress which should desist from their inappropriate use of the impeachment power. Impeachment should not be used for short-term political gain or as a calculated means of punishment for personal behavior.
A president should be impeached only when a broad consensus exists that he is no longer fit to serve. The Congress is setting the precedent that a popularly elected president can be impeached by the slimmest of partisan majorities on charges unrelated to his official duties. This is a grave and long-lasting threat to the balance of constitutional powers.
Future presidents will be weakened by this usurpation of power by the legislative body. The president's most patriotic act is to continue to resist this distortion of the Constitution.
David Ahlfeld
Amherst, Mass.
John Hughes, a much respected former editor of the Monitor, has got it all wrong when he suggests that President Clinton should resign as a "healing and patriotic action." It seems he's been spending too much time talking to right-wing federal judges and to other folks who are out of touch with the American people's rejection of the efforts of a far-right Republican minority that will not rest until it imposes the president's impeachment on this country.
Of course the country would survive if Mr. Clinton resigned. That's not the issue. The real issue is to uncover and reject an ongoing coup d'etat which is using a sex scandal and subsequent quibbling on the part of the president as the anticonstitutional means to dump him.
I sincerely hoped that Clinton would not be impeached. But what better place, now, than the Senate - a more civil and more representative side of the legislature that will, hopefully, put a finger on those who would so misuse this constitutional provision as the means to emasculate this president and the wishes of the majority.

A threat to 'Mom and Pop' stores
"Never Closed" (Dec. 17), while balanced, failed to consider important questions about 24-hour convenience stores. Which stores are open all night and how does that affect the community they are in? By and large, the stores open 24 hours are national chains, not locally owned businesses. The money spent at these national chains flows to corporate headquarters - whereas money spent in an independent store remains in the community.
A solution: Consider Germany, where the government limits hours of legal operation so the "Tante Emma" stores ("Aunt Emma," the German equivalent of "Mom and Pop") can compete. I hope that Americans can see beyond the tips of their free-market noses and realize how harmful 24-hour "convenience" stores will be to our communities.

Child porn misconceptions
The article "New vice squads troll the Web for child porn" (Dec. 17) regarding the US Customs Cybersmuggling Center was very interesting. However, it does nothing to counter the misconception that many people have that it is gay men who are pedophiles. As a little research will tell you, statistically, the majority of pedophiles are heterosexuals. This point was never made in the article. In my opinion, this misconception is not harmless. It reinforces prejudice against gays and ultimately contributes to hate crimes against them. Perhaps you should have presented the statistics on the sexual orientation of pedophiles.

Loyal readers, I need to make a correction. I got this email last week:
Hi Sally,
I found your blog. It's great, but it makes a comment that my company sends our customer's photos overseas. While its true that some companies do that, we aren't one of them. We do all of the work right here in mesa, AZ. Would you mind making the correction?
Scott Crossen
I said I would be happy to print a correction, and asked Scott my Big Question: How do you keep prices under 50 cents per scan?
Here is Scott's reply: We've invented and developed a lot of software processes to maximize our productivity on things like CD burning and tracking and managing orders but the fact remains we do a lot of work for the 30 to 50 cents we collect on each image. We don't believe that asking a customer to allow us to send their photos overseas is an option and our customers agree with us on that. The risk just doesn't justify any reward. I understand that having a service scan all of your photos can get pricey, but having them sent to China or India? It might make good business sense but lacks good common sense. If you like, you can put a link to our video that shows the process and a link to our home page.
Done and done, Scott.
The video took a really long time to download, but I waited it out because I'm not going to publish a link to something I haven't watched. YouTube would have been much less annoying.
Update: Scott provided me with a link to the streaming version of the video. That way, you don't have to download the whole thing to your computer. Watch the streaming version here.
I was impressed by their system for preventing photo orders from getting swapped accidentally, but not as impressed as I was by the white gloves. Yay! I also vowed to get myself a lab coat if I ever make my own videos.
Personally, I'm too squeamish to send original items through the mail -- even if it's only going as far as Arizona. If you're cool with it (and most people are, including my own dad) then digmypics seems like a fine choice.
Have you hired someone to scan your photographs? Would you recommend them to a friend? Leave a comment and share your experiences, good or bad.

Dying for attention: Why people are killing themselves online
One morning in January, members of the cozy online community TheCatSite.com received some devastating news. Their fellow cat lover Amber, known to the busy discussion forum as 4crazycats, had died during emergency surgery to deliver a baby daughter.
"I feel like I'm in some horrible nightmare and just want to wake up but I can't," wrote Amber's fiance, John, on a board usually reserved for the lighthearted exchange of anecdotes and welfare tips on all matters feline.
As more than 150 condolence messages flooded in, some members were suspicious. People familiar with John and Amber from their five months on the site knew that Amber's death was just the latest in a long series of acute misfortunes: John had been involved in a car crash; one of their cats had died; and Amber had suffered from depression and a fall during her pregnancy.
Their story was almost too tragic to be true.
After members were unable to verify the death by contacting hospitals and morgues, the site's owner, Anne Moss, grew concerned that the cat lovers had fallen victim to a peculiar variety of online fraud: Amber may not have died because she may never have existed. John, it seemed, had been creating five months of disaster-filled fiction.
"I think we'll never know for sure one way or the other," Moss said. "Maybe some of it was true, maybe all of it was true, maybe none of it is true. This is the Internet, and I have no way of finding out."
The unique freedom offered by online anonymity is increasingly being abused. As people share their innermost thoughts in blogs, journals, chat rooms and discussion forums, some writers are muscling their way to the center of attention by artificially manufacturing tragedy. When an online friend gets sick or dies, things aren't always what they seem.
Tragic online deaths have become common. After discovering a number of fabricated deaths on the LiveJournal social-networking site, a group of users established a community named "fake lj deaths" in 2004 to investigate suspicious ends to journals. Only about 10 percent of the hundreds of deaths investigated by fake lj deaths have turned out to be real, according to the community's administrators.
Recently, more than 50 people replied to a query posted on a community bulletin board asking for examples of such fraudulent claims. While their stories cannot be verified, respondents detailed ruses of varying sophistication dating back to 1998. Some were sick jokes. Others had financial motives or malicious intent. The majority, however, fit a clear pattern designed simply to garner maximum attention: a feigned illness or brooding melancholy leads to progressive deterioration and then a family member, with surprising access to the password-protected sites, announces the tragic end.
Whatever the method, duped online friends are left feeling used, maligned and baffled.
"Part of me wants it to be proven to be a hoax, for that way nobody will have died," said one member of TheCatSite.com in the wake of John's story. "But if this isn't real, what kind of confused, messed-up mind could fabricate a story as elaborate and awful as this?"
Dr. Marc Feldman, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama, has investigated such minds for 15 years, usually in the "off line" world. Feldman is an expert in factitious illnesses, including Munchausen syndrome, in which sufferers feign the symptoms of an illness, usually in order to get attention.
Feldman has coined the term "Munchausen by Internet" to describe the online version, where it is possible to take the fabrication all the way to the grave.
"The Internet is the perfect medium," Feldman said. "One can claim to be anyone or anything."
At age 16, Rebecca Kent, from Fullerton, Calif., was desperate for proof that her virtual friends genuinely cared for her. So she posed online as her sister and told readers that she had been injured in a car accident. When she "died" after a 48-hour struggle, the initial shock among her online friends became genuine grief and mourning.
"It sounds odd, but you feel loved," said Kent, who is now 24 and bitterly regrets her deception. "There are people who don't know you from Adam but they show you they still care."
Some of Kent's friends were suspicious, however, and she felt a dreadful sense of shame at having duped them. Eventually she admitted the hoax and battled, successfully, to salvage the friendships.
Kent now fully understands how her friends suffered. Last December, a close online confidant, who Kent had even met once in person, faked her death on LiveJournal. The woman stopped updating her journal for two weeks before her "husband" posted a notice that she had died in a fire just before Christmas. Remembering the gaps in her own fiction, Kent investigated and discovered no news coverage or obituaries. When she confronted the suspected fraudster via e-mail, she was immediately removed from the list of friends with access to the journal.
Kent later discovered through mutual friends that her suspicions were well-founded.
As Internet users become more sophisticated, fewer "deaths" are likely to go unquestioned. Already, crude fakes can be easy to detect. A poster might somehow continue to update his or her journal despite suffering from a debilitating illness. In the event of death, the supposed relative often becomes defensive when friends seek funeral information. When confronted, perpetrators of the fraud sometimes vanish. Other times they reappear with a new identity. Some even die again under another name.
In John's case on TheCatSite, he went so far as to ask members for music suggestions for Amber's funeral and for contributions to animal shelters in Amber's name. When questioned, he disappeared and has not been heard from again. He could not be contacted for this article.
"I really have no idea why he did it," Moss said. "I don't even know yet if he did it. I don't even know if there ever was a John."

How Brutalist is Metro?
Lance Hosey has published an essay questioning whether the label "Brutalist" describes Harry Weese's design for the Washington Metro. The essay usefully complicates the term, but I think it underplays Weese's commitment to the materials and forms he used.

Metro FAQ: Why doesn't Metro have four-track routes?
Ten years ago, when Metro was still working well enough for people to wish for more, the more frequent question I got was about the lack of a Metro station in Georgetown. Now that the challenge is to keep the current system functioning, the question is why Metro has only two sets of tracks on each route, so that shutting one down for repairs causes slow service.
In my research, I found two documents that explained the decision particularly well.

How Congress Undercut Its Own City's Subway System
Published: "How Congress Undercut Its Own City's Subway System," POLITICO Magazine, 16 March 2016.
The most recent maintenance issues are just the latest consequences of a longer pattern of uncertain, interrupted federal financing that began while Metro was still just a paper proposal. Metro was born and built in financial jeopardy. Now, like so much of the nation's infrastructure, it needs reinvestment, and that challenge may prove greater than the effort to build it in the first place.

Will the Federal Government Finally Deregulate Oral History?
"Will the Federal Government Finally Deregulate Oral History?," American Historian, November 2015, 20-22.
On September 8, 2015, sixteen federal departments and agencies jointly released a notice of proposed rulemaking that would amend the federal regulations (known as the Common Rule) that govern IRBs. Among many other reforms the new rules would, the notice explains, "explicitly exclude oral history, journalism, biography, and historical scholar- ship activities that focus directly on the specific individuals about whom the information . . . is collected." If enacted as written, the proposal would resolve the longstanding acrimony between IRBs and historians.
Mapping the 1844 Philadelphia Riots
Rutgers University cartographer Michael Siegel has made a magnificent slideshow of maps to accompany my entry, "Nativist Riots of 1844," in the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia.
Many thanks to Mr. Siegel, to encyclopedia editor Howard Gillette, and all the Encyclopedia crew.
Ray Mohl
I suppose every human culture depends on elders who are willing not only to teach the young, but to listen to them. Back in graduate school, I was writing about freeway revolts with a methodology that consisted of figuring out which Ray Mohl article was most relevant to a given section. Yet when I met Ray in person, he treated me not as a receptacle of his wisdom and knowledge, but as someone from whom he himself could learn.
That may have been true at the edges; one of the pleasures of urban history is that each city has its particulars, so another detailed case study is always welcomed. But more than that, Ray was a fundamentally patient, gentle, and curious man. His was a face I always delighted to see at a conference, and I mourn that I won't see it again. Ray, I miss you.

You Can't Ask That
Published: "You Can't Ask That." Washington Monthly, September/October 2014
Enacted a generation ago in response to real abuses by some notorious medical researchers, so-called institutional review boards have morphed into entities that are stifling and distorting important research throughout academia.
Rick Perlstein's Link Rot
I am a big fan of Rick Perlstein. I love his Nixonland, not least for the way it changed the way I think about midterm elections, and I look forward to reading The Invisible Bridge.
I feel sorry that Perlstein must waste even a moment dealing with the absurd charges of copyright infringement presented by Craig Shirley, an author who apparently has no understanding of either copyright law or the norms of scholarship. Shirley's claims could be sillier only if he sued for "$2,0000,000,000 (two trillion dollars)."
That said, I share Shirley's frustration with the decision by Perlstein and his publisher, Simon and Schuster, not to include the footnotes in the printed text of The Invisible Bridge . Instead, Perlstein has posted the notes only on his website.
Yes, it sounds like a good idea. As John K. Wilson writes, "Online citations are a perfectly legitimate means of sourcing—in fact, Perlstein's approach is superior to conventional footnoting because it allows readers to click on many of his sources and read the original work themselves, which is hardly the tactic of a plagiarist."
The problem is that such citations can vanish quickly. Consider, in particular, this claim at the start of the Notes section of Nixonland: "A continually updated hypertext version of these notes will be available at my Web site, rickperlstein.org, so that readers, wherever possible, can explore Nixonland's source materials on their own." (p. 750) Now try to find that "continually updated hypertext version" at rickperlstein.org. It isn't there, at least not anywhere I could find it.
The printed edition of Nixonland includes the notes, so the disappearance of an electronic version of those notes isn't a disaster for that book. But since the online notes are the only version of the references supporting The Invisible Bridge, their disappearance would greatly diminish the value of an important work.
I faced this challenge on a smaller level myself, when I learned that for production reasons, it would be impossible to incorporate footnotes to a new preface into the existing notes for The Great Society Subway. Fortunately, the wonderful librarians at George Mason University offered to host an electronic version of the notes for the preface to the paperback edition of my book. I am confident that the Mason Archival Repository Service will be serving data long after zacharyschrag.com has expired.
I suggest, then, that Perlstein not rely on his own website, but instead archive copies of the footnotes with libraries that are committed to preserving digital scholarship.

Location & Directions
Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
On Sardar Patel Marg, a quiet road off MI road, it is close to the walled Pink City, spectacular forts, and the unique shopping bazaars of Jaipur.
When to go
Rajasthan is known as the desert state. It is largely hot and dry throughout the year, making it a great destination to get away during cold winter months.
Summer in Rajasthan extends from April to June. It's the hottest season so not ideal for travel, although early April is a good time to get great value for money if you don't mind the heat. In western Rajasthan temperatures may soar, particularly in May and June, so we'd suggest avoiding Jaisalmer and the Thar Desert at this time.
The monsoon season usually runs from July to September. The temperature drops slightly, and humidity increases. During this period 90% of the rain Rajasthan occurs, although in reality Rajasthan never receives much rainfall. Lakes and rivers will be higher and there's more color to the landscape.
October to March is the best time to travel to Rajasthan. Expect warm and sunny weather, perfect for exploring and relaxing. Please note that hotels are at their busiest over the Christmas and New Year period. December and January can have very cool mornings and evening and we suggest taking some warm clothing. Whilst temperatures in the desert areas are always hot in the daytime, they become some of the coolest areas of the state once the sun goes down. It's also normal to expect some fog in the major cities of northern Rajasthan in December and January.

What The Changes Are
Facebook moved all the settings you could previously set on an ad level over to the ad set level. In particular, you will now no longer be able to set audience, placement and pricing per ad - instead, you will be able to set them per ad set.
Note: When this change rolls out might vary from one account to another.
Settings for ad sets that are set up after October 17th, 2014, look like this:
What You Could Do Before The Change
Before this change, you could have different settings for a variety of ads within the same ad set.
How Things Work From Now On
Ads with different settings have to be in different ad sets if they are newly created after October 17th, 2014. So you have two options from now on:
What Happened To Your Existing Ad Settings
Everything you created so far stays the same. Since today, you can no longer set your settings at the ad level and all ads that are created from now on will have to be sorted into ad sets based on their settings as described above.
Why This Matters To Advertisers
This change has a big impact on how Facebook campaigns are structured. Instead of creating ad sets that each have a set of ads about the same topic, ads can now be about different topics as long as they have the same settings. This change goes well along with Facebook's best practices of segmenting your account structure as much as possible.
A concrete example: let's assume we have two audiences.
Audience 1: one with ages 20-30 and an interest in tennis
Audience 2: one with ages 30-40 and an interest in golf
Your options would be the following.
If you set it up before October 17th:
If you set it up after October 17th:
For advertisers who want to keep things separate, the workload will double. Additionally, the way Facebook campaigns are structure from now on will be different from existing structures and therefore the existing structures must be adapted or the account will end up having two different setups.

The Brown Family
William is the cheekiest boy probably ever put to screen. Unfortunately he's a tad too rude sometimes and looses his respect towards the elder generation, including his dad and mum. As me and my many siblings watched this movie, I almost began to feel afraid that my brothers would mayyybe copy that example a bit.
Luckily, they didn't. :-P
Some funny "Just William" conversations:
Mother: William, just to say that Ethel's in quarantine.
William: What! It's so unfair! You get to go to Africa, and now Ethel's in Quarantine! Why don't I get to go somewhere?
Father: William, you should be kind to everyone.
William: Should I be kind to Hitler?
Ethel's boyfriend (talking about Ethel with the measles): This is awful news.
William (talking about his dead mouse): Yes, it is. Awful.
Ethel's boyfriend: 'Cos she seemed all right yesterday.
William: She was. I think it was eating those berries.
Ethel's boyfriend: What berries?
William: The one Ginger gave us.
Ethel's boyfriend (Ginger's older brother): Ginger? Ginger gave some berries?
William: Yeah. He got them from his garden- she ate them all.
Ethel's boyfriend: But I heard in the village it was measles!
William: No, it's worse than that. She's dead. She died in the night.
Ethel's boyfriend: What!
Haha. I love that scene!
I like Mrs Brown, because she so calm and handles things so wittily. For example when her oldest son Robert says he leaving house to go on strike, she says something like 'Thank you for telling me, now I know I will have to cook for four instead of five.' She didn't say that, but it was something like that.
Ethel is similar to Rose in Downton Abbey- they both attract too many men and wear clothes in the utmost fashion. Plus both of them are slightly spoilt and giggly. Ethel had some very pretty dresses and skirts, and although she isn't in the show terribly much, she's a funny character.
Ethel annoyed me because she was a terrible flirt and only used men to get the things she wants. In one of the four episodes called 'Parrots for Ethel' she tells her two current boyfriends that she'd like a parrot.
"Marry me!" the boy on her right squawked.
Ethel looked at him, frowning.
'I-I was just imitating a parrot,' he stammered apologetically.
Like all of the three Brown children, Ethel is silly and not a role model. But as this movie is just a comedy and silly movie, it appears pretty understandable.
Robert Brown, William's older brother is- to my opinion- the worst of the three children. Again, like Ethel, he's not one of the main characters, but he does have a fairly big-ish role. He's always off to somewhere, saying he's going on strike for something, but he always comes back again.
In one funny scene with him, he is writing poetry. My brothers like to quote his stupid poetry: "Oh trees, you make me angry... because your bark is worse than your bite!"
Robert is always unhappy and negative and I really do not like him. Go away.
I'd rate this movie 7/10. I couldn't rate it more than that because of the silly characters, the disrespect William shows and mushy scenes between young children. But I must say we all enjoyed this movie, and it is suitable for younger children. It's lovely if you're sad and want some cheering up!

The evolution of technology has definitely been an endless one. Over the years we have seen advancements in every industry imaginable due to the newest ideas, gadgets, apps, and the list goes on. The marketing industry has definitely benefited from the numerous technological advancements. With the new strides that social media applications have been taking, the marketing industry has been able take off in a new direction. Now more than ever we see successful brands and marketing professionals directing their attention and efforts towards popular social media websites as a way to directly reach the masses and control the messaging. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are only a few; the list is constantly growing with new platforms vying at a chance to get a piece of the advertising pie. Taking a closer look at popular media trends, we see how much of an impact they've made on brand recognition.
Here are three trends you cannot ignore if you want your brand to be successful thanks to technology.
- Vine and Instagram seemed to have knocked down the most doors when it comes to successful advertising attempts. The both of these methods have a very short, straight to the point method about them which makes it easier for viewers to get stuck into viewing hundreds of Vine videos and Instragram posts for hours at a time. Why wouldn't marketers jump on this opportunity? While numerous brands have established themselves on Instagram already, only a few brands such as Trident, Samsung, Oreos, and Dunkin Donuts have been successful with creatively marketing themselves through the six-second Vine videos. Dunkin Donuts did a great job with their re-enactment of a NFL play, gaining lots of attention from viewers.
- Memes have also had a creative impact on marketing strategies. Memes have sparked wildfires across social media outlets and have ultimately become a source of entertainment. Great memes are very quick to the point, humorous, and easily sharable. These each serve as a major plus in the mind of a marketer. A great example of a meme that took the internet by storm is Dos Equis with "the most interesting man in the world". After the launching of their commercials and website many users took to re-creating the image of Jonathan Goldsmith with their own messages. This indeed helped the brand gain widespread recognition because regardless of the message, the man pictured was undoubtedly associated with Dos Equis.
- Live videos have been around for a while now thanks to YouTube, but users are now looking to YouTube for reasons other than entertainment. YouTube has now become a way for small business owners to market their products through live demonstrations. In return, users are conducting their own reviews of the products giving the brand more recognition and new consumers. Small business owners within the hair industry have greatly benefited from these simple to produce YouTube videos as many women continue to search for that perfect hair product.
These three trends have changed marketing strategies greatly. Businesses are constantly being challenged to attempt to keep up with the fast paced social media world that technology has brought about. Instagram/Vine videos, live videos, and memes are only a few of the major successes. Within the blink of an eye, more and more advancements are arising. As a business owner or brand manager, it is imperative that you remain up to date with the newest technological advancements to stay ahead of the game with all marketing efforts to keep your brand in peoples' mouths. It is indeed a constant race we are running to stay on top of the game.

LEAVING ROB Burrow out of the showdown with Widnes Vikings was an indication of the strength of Leeds Rhinos' squad, coach Brian McDermott said.
Burrow was omitted from the matchday 17, with Liam Sutcliffe taking over among the substitutes.
"It was a selection thing," McDermott confirmed. "It is about the dynamic of the team and I am in a fortunate position in having three – and four if you include Paul Aiton – pivots to fill some roles.
"It is also very challenging, because each week somebody misses out.
"On this occasion it was Rob and it was just a dynamic we went with. While we've got the squad as healthy as it is we will always be faced with these type of challenges.
"Liam Sutcliffe is a very good Super League player now. He has played in the region of 40 games and by the time we play Huddersfield (a week on Thursday) Brett Delaney will be fit.
"That's another challenge we've got, to fit a squad of fit blokes into 17 shirts."
Rhinos have no game this weekend, when First Utility Super League takes a break for the World Club series.
McDermott said: "We knew it was here so we've planned for it. I don't think we've gained that much momentum where we feel like we need to keep going.
"We will adjust accordingly this week and get back on the horse the week after. We'll deal with it."

Well something like this happened to me recently. Except in my case the woman was replaced by an idyllic sea beach!
OK, this is a long story so please be patient or skip the next paragraph.
A few of our friends had made plans to go to Mandwa last Wednesday. I wasn't sure as I had a meeting on Wednesday. That got cancelled and I thought I will join them. Then I felt quite nauseous and had a headache on Tuesday night. So I told Kainaz to join the gang on Wednesday while I stayed home. K left for the Gateway next morning while I stayed back. Then I began to have second thoughts as I felt that I was missing out on an opportunity to do something different. That's when K's mama called me and said "what are you doing, just drop everything, jump into a cab and go". Pretty much like Phoebe in F.R.I.E.N.D.S and the hotel manager in Pretty Woman. I began to consider going when he called me again and screamed, "you are still not in the cab, what are you doing?!". I quickly exchanged my jammies for a pair of jeans, brushed my teeth and darted out. Well Kainaz and our friends who had set off early in the morning skipped the 8.30 AM catamaran for me. I arrived just in time for the 9.15 AM ferry and we set sail for Mandwa. I threw up over the side of the ferry as we reached Mandwa and the world seemed beautiful again.
The fairly empty and secluded beach of Mandwa is a forty five minute to an hour's boat ride from the Gateway of India in South Mumbai.
Mandwa is the entry to the more popular beaches of Alibagh and Kihim which are off Mumbai. You can reach Mandwa by a ferry or a catamaran. These leave the Gateway every hour and tickets range from Rs 60 to Rs 90 (1 to 2 USD) depending on the size of the boat. This service is closed in the monsoon months, approximately June to September. During these months you can reach Mandwa by a three hour drive. There are buses to take you from Mandwa to Kihim and Alibagh. The price for these are included in your ferry ticket and you don't have to pay separately for this.
Now the thing with Mandwa is that it is literally cut off from civilisation. It is not developed unlike Kihim or Alibagh. You have a few shops selling soft drinks, wafers and biscuits and a public loo at the jetty. Apart from that there is a tiny snack bar with a few tables and chairs run by a person called Guru. You get a few local snacks such as vada pao and missal pao and soft drinks and tea.
The beach is a bit rocky but if you are intrepid enough then you can base yourself at Gurus and spend some time at the beach. I believe that there are spots where you can swim too.
We didn't have to do any of this as two of our friends were members of the Royal Bombay Yacht Club. They took us to the Mandwa Club. Before you get any images of a fancy club let me tell you that Mandwa Club is just a little outpost with a few rooms and toilets and a verandah with easy chairs and sofas. They don't have a restaurant but you can get your own food and warm it in the kitchen. One of our friends got some lovely Chinese from 5 Spice and we had a great lunch by the sea. There is one, ancient attendant who runs the place.
There were six of us that lazy afternoon, by the sea. The lovely breeze brushed away the pressures and pains of the week. We chatted, we lazed, we stretched, we ate, we giggled … some of us went into the sea and flapped around. I was really glad that I went as I felt very refreshed and rejuvenated… cut off from mad, manic Mumbai. If nature had a spa… then this would be one.
We sat back for Mumbai by the 4.30 PM catamaran. The last boat leaves at 6 PM.
You can stay overnight at the Mandwa Club if you know someone at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club. In fact they have a more modern set up called beside the Mandwa Club which has two rooms and a kitchen. This is air conditioned, has better bathrooms and is more modern. Both of these are right on the sea.
But I'd recommend going to Mandwa with a good book, a picnic basket and a beach towel if you are the sort who likes open spaces, likes the sea, wants a break and is fine with roughing it out a bit.
And definitely if you are lucky enough to have Jamshed Adrianvala as your friend.
Jamshed Uncle: for organising the trip and waiting patiently for me
Shahazad: for the lovely Chinese from 5 Spice. Excellent choice of dishes
Rita and Malka: for making us break into peals of laughter
Freddy Mama: for his calls goading me to go
Kainaz: through whom I know the rest of the cast and for living with my indecisiveness
History lesson: Apparently the Mandwa Club was started after the Royal Bombay Yacht Club was opened at Bombay during the British rule of India. The Royal Bombay Yacht Club was meant for the higher officers of the British Army and navy. Ordinary folks from the ranks who liked to sail complained that there was nothing for them. That's when the Mandwa Club was set up. What's remarkable was the location chosen for the club. There was nothing around the area at that time but people had the foresight to pick this spot. The Mandwa Jetty is fairly recent and has come up in the last decade.

Birmingham Trees for Life
Welcome to Birmingham Trees for Life, Birmingham's dedicated tree planting charity. Every winter we organise tree planting events in parks and public open spaces across the city, and since 2006 we have planted over 70,000 trees! The City Council owns these parks, and BTFL works in partnership with the Parks Managers, Rangers and Friends of Parks.
We involve local school children in nearly all our planting events, and welcome local residents who would like to come along to help too. If you are are a Birmingham-based business, perhaps you would like to get out and do something of value to your community – why not sponsor tree planting in your city and get involved?
We also organise special Community Planting Days, when people who have sponsored trees get the opportunity to come along and plant their own trees themselves. If you would like to join in the next sponsored planting event, you can sponsor trees here.
Our city has many trees, but we need more and we need to replace those that are becoming old or diseased ........... so let's get planting!
Information about all our events, and lots of pictures, can be found on our Blog.
Don't forget - if you know of a park near you that needs more trees, get in touch!

By Sarah Pridgeon
Thanks to generous contributions from several local businesses and one private citizen, Sundance's fleet of ambulances is once again up, running and ready to serve. More than $16,000 dollars has been raised through a fundraising effort rallied by Linda Tokarczyk, on behalf of Rare Element Resources.
"The donations given to the City for the ambulance repairs were a welcome gift," says Kathy Lenz, Clerk-Treasurer. "Linda Tokarczyk has been instrumental in getting the word out for financial support to help repair the ambulances."
Emergency funding was needed to replace the motor on one ambulance, at a cost of $18,000. The remaining vehicles were in need of general repairs to get them back on the road, costing $10,000.
Rare Element Resources itself contributed $5000 to the cause, with Powder River Energy Corp matching that donation from their 'Operation RoundUp' program, in which participating co-op members 'round up' their monthly bills to the nearest dollar. The roughly $6 per account, per year is then distributed to local worthy causes.
Sundance Electric also donated $1000 to the fundraising effort, while Bonnie Beaudoin gave $200. Strata Energy has made a commitment of $5000.
"We have such a wonderful community that pulls together whenever there is a need and jumps in to help anyway they can," says Lenz. "The City of Sundance considers it a privilege to work with these organizations in a common goal to retain excellent ambulance service in our community."

|Experimentally produced hand stencils at 'The Cave'. Jason Hall, University of Liverpool
January 8, 2017 ... Loosely defined, forensic anthropology is the analysis of human remains for the purpose of establishing identity in both living and dead individuals. In the case of the dead this often focuses on analyses of the skeleton. But any and all parts of the physical body can be analysed. The forensic anthropologist is an expert at assessing biological sex, age at death, living height and ancestral affinity from the skeleton.
Our newest research has extended forensic science's reach from the present into prehistory. In the study, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, we applied common forensic anthropology techniques to investigate the biological sex of artists who lived long before the invention of the written word.
We specifically focused on those who produced a type of art known as a hand stencil. We applied forensic biometrics to produce statistically robust results which, we hope, will offset some of the problems archaeological researchers have encountered in dealing with this ancient art form.

I did not know Dr. Tiller, but his assassination vividly reminds me of events in 1983, when my wife and I had a devasting experience with a late-term pregnancy gone wrong at 38 weeks. We had a daughter (I will call her that-in our case, the distinction between fetus and child was not relevant) who developed hydrocephalus (water on the brain) late in the pregnancy, which was discovered at the last ultrasound. Her head was huge with fluid, and therefore would not fit through the birth canal. Actually, it was called hydroencephaly, meaning that she essentially had no brain, because it had been substantially dissolved by the neural fluid from a spinal cord that had not properly closed. Because of the head size, we learned that my wife would have to have a caesarian to deliver the baby-although common, a major surgery. My wife had had an ectopic pregnancy, with major surgery that devasted her, but we very much wanted the baby. Yet we learned that even with the caesarian, the baby would either die shortly after birth, or would live somewhat longer, and very, very badly-likely paralyzed, blind, and without significant mental faculties. My brother is a neonatologist, an expert in premature babies and other problems, and he consulted with specialists around the country. Nothing could be done to improve the predicted outcome. We decided to terminate the pregnancy and avoid the caesarian, to preserve my wife's health and increase her chances for another child, and so we wouldn't simultaneously be grieving the child and coping with recovery from surgery. We made that wrenching decision and the pregnancy was terminated at Stanford University, with the baby delivered vaginally after the evacuation of the spinal fluid from her head. This is what was much later termed "partial birth abortion" and villified by politicians and ideologues who have no idea of the reality we experienced. We buried our daughter in a cemetary in Santa Cruz, Calif. We continue to grieve her loss, and we are also grateful to the caring doctors who assisted us in our time of need.
Would that Dr. Tiller's killer, and his allies, had any idea of the nature of the medical disasters for which he offered his help. Would that they cared.

What You Need to Know Before You Choose Surgery for Back Pain Relief
Sometimes pain management techniques and non-surgical treatments aren't enough to help you alleviate your back pain. If you've been living with chronic back pain and have found less-invasive treatments to be ineffective, your spine specialist may recommend back surgery. To make your experience as comfortable as possible, it's important that you become familiar with your back surgery options.
The cause of your back pain:
Even if an MRI or X-ray image reveals a structural problem with your spine, such as a herniated disc, this doesn't necessarily mean that your pain is a result of that particular problem. Back injuries and disorders often present with referred pain, so pinpointing the source is crucial. In an effort to both relieve pain noninvasively and to diagnose the cause, your spine specialist is likely to recommend exercise, strength training, physical therapy, or medication before resorting to surgery. Before you undergo any surgical procedure, you need to trust that your surgeon has successfully identified the cause of your back pain.
The qualifications of your surgeon:
One of the best ways to feel confident in your neurosurgeon's ability to alleviate your pain is to read up on his qualifications. You can visit your future surgeon's website to learn about his experience in the field, the number of patients he has treated, and whether or not this is a significant part of his practice.
The questions your surgeon will ask:
Before surgery, your surgeon will ask you a series of questions about your medical history. In order to thoroughly answer these inquiries during your appointment, you can prepare all information about your medical history while you're at home, write this information on a piece of paper, and bring it to your surgical consultation.
Dr. Gary Kraus of Kraus Back and Neck Institute is a leading neurosurgeon in the Houston area with more than 17 years of experience. Our office provides comprehensive spinal care service, including pain management techniques. Learn more about our state-of-the-art treatment options by calling (888) 816-8954.

|Members of the Shouwang Church were harassed, detained and
prevented from worshipping together on New Years Day.
Photo: ChinaAid
The church has long been a target for the oppressive government (to learn more, click here). Believers report that at least 49 Christians were taken into custody either before they were able to depart for the outdoor service or as they made their way there. Most believers were sent to 13 local police stations. Many were released home late that night and all were released by January 3.
The church had rented three different locations to conduct indoor worship services, but by the evening of December 31, 2011, all three sites notified the church that they could not lease the space to the church and had to tear up the agreement as the result of government interference and pressure.
Since then, China's state and domestic security have come out in force setting up guard stations and imposing martial law at the plaza where the outdoor service had been planned. Those who had been to the plaza in the past were confined to their homes by security guards, and pastors have been under house arrest.
You can help these brothers and sisters in Christ by praying!
- Please pray that our brothers and sisters at Shouwang Church will be granted the freedom to worship indoors without fear of reprisal or harassment.
- Pray that these believers will continue to spread the gospel despite these trials as a testament to God's sovereign power and for His glory.

January - February
Dean Andrew Martin reports to the LSA Dean's Cabinet that "Rob Sellers presented a proposal to undertake a University-wide and school-level strategic planning process surrounding diversity," at the January APG meeting. The process and target dates will be revised and refined over the next several months, but the date to publicly release the new U-M strategic plan is set for September 2016.
The Division of Undergraduate Education begins to refine and further develop its approach to "LSA Inclusive Classrooms" across the curriculum—first presented at the bimonthly chairs and directors session "#BBUM & Beyond: Recruiting, Supporting, Retaining a Diverse Undergraduate Population."
February – April
LSA learns more about the process and its adaptation for LSA, and begins to make decisions about the College's approach and priorities.
Faculty hiring and retention, the Comprehensive Studies Program, and the review of the Race and Ethnicity (R&E) Degree Requirement are identified as key pillars.
May – August
LSA holds second Faculty Institute on Diversity and Climate and fourth CRLT-IGR Faculty Dialogue Institute on incorporating dialogic pedagogy in the classroom. A special public session is held at the Diversity and Climate Institute to discuss implications of the University's strategic planning process and LSA priorities.
Dean Martin appoints an Ad Hoc Faculty Diversity Task Force comprised of faculty from all three LSA divisions to develop an analysis of the obstacles to recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty, to generate possible solutions to this challenge, and to identify metrics for success.
LSA seeks clarification on the University-wide Diversity Census process and begins to design an LSA-specific method to collect the data requested by Rob Sellers, the Vice President for Equity, Inclusion, and Academic Affairs.
Further decisions are made on College-wide priorities for the LSA plan, and conversations begin on non-incremental measures and mechanisms.
The LSA Diversity Census begins with a tool designed by the College to be used by all chairs and directors, who are asked to respond by September 1.
The Preparatory Committee for the R&E Degree Requirement Review submits its report, with research and data collection appendices.
The LSA Teaching Academy incorporates new materials and a more forceful articulation of diversity and climate issues, with a focus on inclusive classroom pedagogies as test case and pilot for possible campus-wide approaches. Released draft strategic plan for review by LSA community; shared via email and web posting with all LSA faculty, staff, and students.
President's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Launch on September 9.
LSA completes the Diversity Census on September 15 with 100 percent participation from units.
Several LSA faculty begin to look at plans from other universities, especially the University of California, Berkeley. (Throughout the academic year, several universities will announce new diversity plans and initiatives.)
The R&E Degree Requirement Review Committee is formally appointed and charged by Dean Martin. Dean Martin charges Human Resources Director Patrick Smitowski with development of DEI strategies for staff.
The R&E Review Committee holds its initial meeting and creates subgroups, meets with the LSA Curriculum Committee, and begins holding consultation meetings with faculty groups (e.g., Anthropology 101 instructors).
Associate Dean and DEI planning lead Elizabeth Cole presents an overview of the LSA planning process to all unit chairs, directors, and chief administrators at their bimonthly meeting.
Student protests on campuses across the country begin and will shape the thinking of the R&E Review Committee in direct and indirect ways.
The LSA human resources director drafts a matrix of potential staff diversity initiatives in consultation with the dean and his chief of staff.
Members of the Ad Hoc Faculty Diversity Task Force meet with chairs and directors from the three LSA divisions to discuss barriers to and effective strategies for recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty.
President/Provost offices host series of DEI related events.
The Staff Committee Report on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is released.
Two student forums are held on the R&E requirement, one hosted by Central Student Government, the other by LSA Student Government.
The R&E Review Committee holds additional meetings with faculty groups on "Global R&E," with IGR faculty and staff, and faculty in the Natural Sciences.
LSA Student Government includes a "ballot question" to gauge student familiarity with the wording of the R&E requirement.
The LSA DEI drafting team begins to consider a template created by the Office of the Vice President for Equity, Inclusion, and Academic Affairs as a mechanism for coordinating data gathering across sections.
A December 9 panel ("History and Politics of Diversity: Mandates, Lawsuits, Strategies") organized by faculty in history and English signals the level of frustration among at least part of the faculty with the planning process. On the same day, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Fisher v. University of Texas.
A meeting is held for faculty liaisons for Faculty Professional Development Program on Inclusive Teaching.
CRLT begins focus group work with U-M and LSA faculty.
The R&E Review Committee arranges to have five newly designed questions added to teaching evaluation forms for the fall 2015 R&E courses, and selects six courses for embedded assessment for winter 2016.
The CSP Faculty Advisory Committee is formally appointed and charged.
The LSA human resources director presents a matrix of potential staff diversity initiatives to the LSA Senior Management Team and the Dean's Cabinet for comment.
LSA administrators meet with Rackham leadership to discuss how to coordinate DEI efforts in graduate education.
The LSA Dean's Cabinet Retreat reviews draft sections and components of what will become the College DEI plan. Discussions focus on faculty hiring and retention, and on climate issues. Decisions are made about the importance of acknowledging and honoring difficult histories around diversity and diversity planning in the past. Undergraduate education materials are presented. Staff diversity plan options are presented and discussed.
Dean Martin shapes the LSA DEI plan's sections and key assumptions. A general outline is created, and a letter of intent overviewing the planning efforts is sent to the vice president for equity, inclusion, and academic affairs on January 11.
Angela Dillard and Patrick Smitowski are officially designated as leads for undergraduate education initiatives and staff diversity, respectively. They join Elizabeth Cole as LSA Lead; Cole continues to oversee work of the Faculty Committee.
The LSA Dean's Office begins a greater degree of outreach. Dean Martin sends a "welcome back" email to all LSA faculty, staff, and students updating the LSA community on DEI initiatives and announcing the LSA DEI webpage populated with event information, contacts, a timeline, and other updates.
Elizabeth Cole and Paula Hathaway convene an advisory committee of leaders in graduate education across the three divisions to solicit input and provide feedback on proposed collaborative efforts with Rackham.
Dean Martin presents the DEI summary to chairs, directors, and chief administrators at their bimonthly meeting (1/21).
A series of open meetings with faculty interested in LSA's approach to fostering and maintaining faculty diversity take place. The purpose of these meetings is to hear ideas about practices to improve recruitment, climate and retention, and career advising for faculty representing diverse backgrounds. The meetings are organized to focus on issues concerning different constituencies, but all LSA faculty members are welcome to attend. Additionally, a survey is made available for faculty who are unable to attend the open meetings to share their views.
Faculty are also engaged through a series of meetings and conversations with the R&E Degree Requirement Review Committee, and through a "reunion" meeting of faculty participants in the LSA May Institute on Diversity and Climate. A survey mechanism is being prepared to capture additional feedback on principles and plans around LSA Inclusive Classrooms.
The LSA human resources director presents potential staff diversity initiatives to the LSA Administrative Forum, comprised of 300 staff members. The goals for this meeting are to share information about DEI planning related to staff, to receive feedback on potential DEI activities developed via prior discussions with the Dean's
Cabinet and senior management team, and to solicit input about other DEI opportunities that LSA could explore. The meeting is followed up by an electronic survey seeking feedback on the staff plan presented. Feedback will inform final decisions as to what DEI activities related to staff appear in the final plan.
Directors and associate directors of the 22 units in the Division of Undergraduate Education meet to workshop sections of the plan dealing with Undergraduate Education Initiatives and Climate.
Two mass workshops for LSA students are hosted in the beginning of February as part of the LSA DEI Plan-A-Thon Week. Most of these events are planned in collaboration with LSA students; some are entirely student-led and organized.
All LSA students are invited to submit an idea as part of the Plan-A-Thon. An "idea" is defined broadly—a student can submit a principle, something to avoid and not do, an actual program or piece of proposed policy, a new approach or initiative, etc. Ideas could be submitted in written form (not more than three pages) or via video (not more than five minutes). They could be tweeted using #LSADEI. They could also be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Members of the Ad Hoc Faculty Diversity Task Force hold meetings to discuss and consolidate recommendations received during the open faculty meetings.
Feedback from faculty, students, and staff is collected and consolidated. LSA DEI leads, members of the Dean's Cabinet, and the LSA marketing and communications team (DMC) have from February 12 to March 22 (including Winter Break, 2/27–3/4) to produce a final draft of the LSA DEI Plan, roughly 35 calendar days. Given the constraints of this timeline and the size of the College, LSA strongly recommends that public messaging and communication stress that this is a DRAFT plan to be sent to the next level of the University-wide strategic planning process. A target date for public release of the final LSA DEI Plan is set for June or July.
The Dean's Alumni Council Campus Climate Working Group presents its findings on the history of U-M climate, the current state of U-M climate, benchmarking of other universities' diversity best practices, and the group's recommendations moving forward. (See Appendix G)
Two open "progress update" meetings are held, one with graduate students, and one with LSA student government representatives and undergraduates who contributed ideas to the Plan-A-Thon.
The R&E Review Committee submits its final report to Dean Martin.
The first staff DEI officer is hired, set to begin work in July.
The Undergraduate Education Climate Subcommittee for Professional Development holds training on cultural competency at the International Institute for some of their staff.
Manager training takes place on the Americans with Disabilities Act.
PitE, RLL, and the RC sponsor the Spectrum Center LGBTQ Allyhood Development Training Workshop.
Released draft strategic plan for review by LSA community; shared via email and web posting with all LSA faculty, staff, and students.
Conducted four Community Forums on the draft plans for faculty, staff, graduate student, and undergraduate student initiatives. Presented plan highlights, answered questions, and gathered suggestions via in-person, email, and handwritten feedback.
October - December
Continued to collect questions and suggestions from LSA community. Revised draft plan to answer questions and revised material in response.
Completed revisions to draft plan based on input from faculty, staff, and students. Shared complete plan with entire LSA community via email and social media announcements. Posted PDF and html versions on LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion website.

Andy Sneddon, CMUChippewas.com
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Robert Greenman delivered the biggest hit of his career when his team most needed it.
Greenman hit a three-run walk-off home run to cap a four-run ninth inning Friday as the Central Michigan baseball team came from behind for a dramatic 8-6 Mid-American Conference victory over Ball State at Theunissen Stadium.
The win evened the series at a game apiece and it gave the Chippewas the outright MAC West title. It also kept alive CMU's hopes of an overall league title.
"Saw a fastball, put a pretty good swing on it, was lucky enough for it to go over the fence," said Greenman, one of four seniors on the Chippewa roster who were honored in the pregame Senior Day ceremony. "I think (the pitch) was right down the middle. It's kind of a blur."
It was Greenman's ninth homer of the season and, he said, the first time he had ever delivered a walk-off hit. He got the requisite water dousing from his euphoric teammates shortly after crossing home plate.
"It's pretty chilly," Greenman said. "Can't really feel it though. It's a special moment, most of my family's here. It's always fun to celebrate with these guys."
The Chippewas, who are 29-25 overall, 16-7 MAC, close the regular season on Saturday (1:05 p.m.) against the Cardinals.
CMU trails Kent State, which is 17-6 in league play, by one game in the overall standings. If the Chippewas win and Kent State loses at Ohio on Saturday, CMU and Kent share the league title.
Greenman's heroics came after pinch hitter Trent Theisen put Ball State (29-26, 13-10) up, 6-4, with an eighth-inning grand slam off Chippewa closer Colton Bradley. It was just the second home run allowed this season by Bradley (6-1), who earned the victory in relief of starter Tyler Hankins.
"One pitch that got away from Colton," CMU coach Steve Jaksa said. "Pretty much the only pitch all year that's gotten away from him. I said to him after, we wouldn't even be close to where we're at today without him, and I mean that sincerely. He'll learn from that and he's going to be better from that experience."
Jason Sullivan struck out to open the bottom of the ninth, but reached base on a wild pitch by Brendan Burns (4-3), who took the loss.
Daniel Robinson and Daniel Jipping walked to load the bases and Evan Kratt hit a sacrifice fly to score Sullivan and draw the Chippewas to 6-5. Greenman hit the first pitch from Burns over the wall in right-center.
"I was so excited not only for (Greenman), but for our ball club," Jaksa said. "We really fought hard today. Our boys hung in there and got to celebrate a little bit, at home, which is always a great feeling."
The victory, and the way it came, was particularly gratifying, Jaksa said. The Chippewas dropped Thursday's series opener, 5-4, in heartbreaking fashion when they squandered a 3-0 lead and left the bases loaded in the eighth inning.
Add to that the fact that they let a 4-2 lead slip away on a grand slam in the eighth on Friday, and it was enough to make even a veteran baseball man like Jaksa emotional.
"How we came back today, that's how life is," he said. "Don't stay down. Fight back a little bit, come back. It's an attitude, attitude and the heart. You got a good heart nobody can ever take that away from you. It's a testament to our guys showing that kind of resilience after a tough loss (on Thursday), losing the lead in the eighth, and then figuring out a way to put that kind of a rally together."
Hankins, a freshman left-hander, turned in another magnificent start for the Chippewas, allowing three runs on six hits with two walks and five strikeouts over seven innings. It marked the ninth time in his last 11 starts that Hankins has gone at least six innings.
"Hank, he just pitched tremendous," Jaksa said. "Did a great job."

Oakland Park —
Jake Popovich had never been to Florida before June, when he moved to the area to play in the South Florida Collegiate Baseball League.
Now he has no plans to leave.
When Popovich arrived from San Francisco, he fell in love with all the things that make the league different from others: the ocean, the coaches, and most importantly, the warm weather.
"You come for the field, you come for the players, you come for the weather," Popovich said. "I mean you can't get much better than 88 degrees and sunny every single day."
The right-handed 6-foot-5 pitcher knew he wanted to transfer to a Florida school about two weeks into the summer. After a chat with the league's president, Vince Farfaglia, his desire became reality.
Within a month Popovich received offers to play from several schools, including Florida Southern, where he'll be a sophomore this fall after transferring from the University of San Francisco.
The underdog league
"This is one of those little leagues under the stone that no one's ever heard about," Popovich said.
The 10-team wood bat league is open to all college players and features a 40-game regular season that culminates with a playoff series July 26-29.
The South Florida league is one of nine in the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball. Other leagues include the Cape Cod Baseball League and the MLB-backed New York Collegiate Baseball League.
