Minting a trillion dollar platinum coin to work around the debt ceiling is...
... legal
... much better than a debt ceiling catastrophe
But the complaint from so many people is: It's just not serious! It's the work of impish trolls!
That people think it's silly has prevented many people from endorsing it.
But it seems that they recognize that a Plan B needs to be developed, and now they've glommed onto one: Printing IOUs to pay the bills.
The new campaign (which might be characterized as #PrintTheIOU) is the brainchild of Edward Kleinbard, who made his case in a NYT op-ed that came out last night.
He wrote:
However, there is a plausible course of action, one that the president should publicly adopt in the coming weeks as his contingency plan should debt-ceiling negotiations falter. He should threaten to issue scrip — "registered warrants" — to existing claims holders (other than those who own actual government debt) in lieu of money. Recipients of these I.O.U.'s could include federal employees, defense contractors, Medicare service providers, Social Security recipients and others.
The scrip would not violate the debt ceiling because it wouldn't constitute a new borrowing of money backed by the credit of the United States. It would merely be a formal acknowledgment of a pre-existing monetary claim against the United States that the Treasury was not currently able to pay. The president could therefore establish a scrip program by executive order without piling a constitutional crisis on top of a fiscal one.
He's followed that up with a conference call this morning, in which he called the Platinum Coin an "embarrassment."
So here we are. The Serious People have found their Serious Alternative to the platinum coin.
The influential magazine National Journal -- which likened the Platinum Coin option to FDR illegitimately packing the Supreme Court -- has a writeup of the IOU idea, which specifically frames it as a non-loopy alternative to the coin.
The $1 trillion platinum coin seems too wacky; the 14th amendment too risky. But could IOU's be the solution to an impasse on raising the nation's borrowing limit? Yes, and President Obama should publicly adopt the idea, Edward Kleinbard, a University of Southern California law professor and former chief of staff to Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation, argues in a Thursday New York Times op-ed. If lawmakers can't reach an agreement before the nation hits its debt ceiling--which could happen as soon as next month--then Obama should have a backup plan of issuing IOU's in place, Kleinbard argues.
Other folks who were coin skeptics are also on board.
Exited to start pushing my #printthescrip hash tag but afraid it might be too workable to attract attention — Tim Fernholz (@TimFernholz) January 10, 2013
The debate over the IOU or "Scrip" idea will continue, but here are the two big takeaways.
-- This is Plan B proposal that respectable people are comfortable with.
-- We've reached a new stage, where a lot of the discussion is not about if the debt ceiling will be raised, but how Obama will circumvent it if/when its not raised. Arguably that itself represents a loss of GOP leverage.

I just searched this forum for "Whole House Fan", but I didn't find much about them (except this and this).
I'm curious to hear what experiences you all may have with these simple and relatively inexpensive devices out in the real world.
Here are some pictures and a basic definition of the type of fans I'm talking about:
4.7.12 Alternative Systems - Ventilation Cooling (2013 CA Energy Efficiency Standards)
The CEC also maintains a list of models approved for sale in California. Does this list adequately represent the state of the art?
Or are there other emerging whole-house ventilation technologies that home professionals ought to know about?
For this discussion, let's try to not confuse an old school "Attic Fan" (which isn't designed to ventilate a conditioned space) with a "Whole House Fan" (which is).
Don't hold back!
Views: 9602
Whole house fan basically serves the purpose of exhaust fans. They are more cheaper than air conditioners ad they can lower the temperature of your house more rapidly. They are best for roof ventilation also.
In Connecticut's climate, I am not in favor of them .
Either they are the big old style that move 3-5000 cfm and are not easily insulatable, or they are newer ones that seal and are somewhat insulated, but move a lot less air.
I just finished ripping one out and re insulating/ patching the ceiling this morning. Matching a textured sand ceiling is no fun.
If I was in a predominantly low humidity area where the winters were mild, I might think differently.
That makes sense. This is one of those technologies that helps remind us that climate drives everything. (No one ever doubted this before old Willis Carrier started "treating air".)
Even so, I'm hopeful that the addition of proper air sealing, insulation, and controls might make them a cost-effective option to consider, even in some hot/cold/humid areas.
You must have at least some hours of the year when it's more pleasant outside than in, no?
I was aware of but unfamiliar with them until moving to Southern California in 2012. Now, after having seen several dozen of them, I can get behind their theory of operation, although I don't like the trade off of a compromised thermal boundary. From the first link in your post, it appears that models with insulated dampers on the exhaust side are available, but I've never seen a well-insulated whole-house fan period, let alone one of those.
If I were doing an insulation retrofit on an attic that had one, I might try something like this.
I'm also concerned about the installation quality I see on some of them. Below is a recent picture of a ducted fan where the duct had almost completely separated (this was completely ignored by the HVAC contractor who had just installed a new furnace a few feet away). Makes me wonder what the homeowner thought when they turned the fan on but their house didn't cool off.
Another project had four 1500 CFM fans installed in a 900 sq ft attic with just a handful of eave vents. Eleven more vents had to be added to bring it up to the manufacturer's minimum recommended total ventilation area.
Bottom line, I think that for climates like California, they're a great concept for that needs some perfecting. (I've been known to set up my blower door on summer nights where the mercury's higher than I like -- works just fine on my 600 aq ft apartment!)
Excellent snapshot, Griffin. You didn't happen to notice the fan manufacturer's name on this one, did you?
I am more familiar with the traditional louvered units that install in the ceiling plane, but I have been interested in these newer remote-mount (ducted) models, primarily because they promise so much less noise pollution. However, your picture is worth a thousand words because it clearly demonstrates a design flaw that needs to be addressed.
Your comment about inadequate exhaust vent area is apt too. That's why California now requires verification by a HERS rater (new construction).
Looks like an Airscape - basically improperly installed - probably after any HERS or building dept oversight was gone - not that people might notice a duct that is missing a key component but that will fall apart after a few weeks. The HVAC man probably did not notice it or use deductive reasoning as he may not have really focussed on what it was - seemingly not part ofhis task.
Corrected link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3cN0kPqGQI
Thanks for the plug on my video, Griff! I liked the Dubstep one, though... It's still not a perfect solution, but better than nothing.
Nate, no kidding, I didn't realize till just now that was your video! (I guess I should pay closer attention to my sources.) It's orders of magnitude better than 99.9% of what I see out here, and I've shared it recently in our community to inspire similar solutions. Small world!
Tom, great new post! Thank you for the focus.
As you know, the term "whole house fan" is a unique "long tail keyword" that describes a very specialized ventilation system.
For the record, the CEC IS just about the most comprehensive list of fans you can find. The primary reason is that the CA Dept of Energy requires ALL whole house fan suppliers who want to sell their systems in CA to be listed on their list.
Getting listed is not simple. CA refers to HVI916 and requires that all fans submitted for listing be tested and certified to the detailed air flow measurement method specified by HVI. The average price for the test if done by a third party such as a lab in Texas is about $1,500 per model.
The list contains every whole house fan supplier in the U.S. as far as my research shows. So it does represent the present state of the art.
Another resource is http://www.WholeHouseFanGuy.com
About emerging technologies, there are some that are not on that list. Most notable are the NightBreeze and SmartVent systems that are now part of the State of CA Title 24 that was just updated and released July 1 2014. Those systems integrate into HVAC systems to provide fresh cool evening air for circulation through the HVAC ducts when the temperature outside is cooler than inside. Another system nearly identical to the SmartVent is FAMCO's IAQ (indoor air quality) system.
Is this really the link you offered?
About compromising the thermal boundary, there are two sources for very effective R rated ceiling interfaces - one offers a clamshell motorized damper they claim is R50 and the other has a thermally broken dual damper. Both are designed to meet the new 2012IECC recommendations for attic insulation in new homes.

Group to Challenge Republicans Who Favor Gay Marriage
ST. PAUL (AP) - A national group opposed to gay marriage says it will spend $500,000 to defeat Republican lawmakers in Minnesota who vote to legalize gay marriage.
The National Organization for Marriage issued the warning Monday. The group previously contributed more than $2 million to last fall's failed campaign to ban gay marriage in Minnesota constitution.
Bills to legalize gay marriage are likely to be introduced at Minnesota's Capitol this week.
One Republican senator, Branden Petersen, already says he'll support it. But the National Organization of Marriage says that's a "career-ending" vote for Republicans. The group has helped fund conservative primary challengers to Republicans in other states who voted in favor gay marriage.
NOM says it will also financially support Democrats who vote against legalizing gay marriage.

79. Among the rites belonging to the period of the catechumenate, then, celebrations of the word of God (RCIA 81-89) are foremost. The minor exorcisms (RCIA 90-94) and the blessings of the catechumens (RCIA 95-97) are ordinarily celebrated in conjunction with a celebration of the word. In addition, other rites may be celebrated to mark the passage of the catechumens from one level of catechesis to another: for example, an anointing of the catechumens may be celebrated (RCIA 98-103) and the presentations of the Creed and the Lord's Prayer may be anticipated (see RCIA 104-105).
These rituals take place most often outside of the seeing eyes of the parish at large. We'll look at the celebration of the word in detail when we examine sections 81-89. Suffice it to say that a simple Bible reading doesn't quite do justice to the concept. The intention is to develop a liturgical pattern for the catechumens. My sense is that a weekly celebration of the word, probably in context of the mid-week or Sunday gathering of catechumens, is the best approach. Blessings, likewise, should be frequent. We'll also look in some detail at the exorcisms, which are prescribed when the struggle of good and evil become profound or significant for one or more catechumens.
That these rituals are proper to the catechumenate period indicate they are part of the liturgical and spiritual formation of newcomers to Christianity. The patterns should adopt those of the Sunday Mass with a division of ministries, sung prayer, and in many cases, a setting suitable more to worship than to catechesis.
Any thoughts?

Throwing a game away — literally — doesn't usually sit well with teams, especially when they are attempting to establish themselves as consistent winners.
So when the Orioles dropped a 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Oakland A's Sunday afternoon on consecutive poor throws following sacrifice bunt attempts, it would be understandable if the players were chewing nails in post-game interviews.
For the most part, that was not the case — not after the Orioles (15-10) took three of four in their personal pain chamber, the Oakland Coliseum, to kick off a brutal, three-city, 11-game West Coast swing.
"Real proud of how we played here in Oakland," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "We presented ourselves well here and we'll move on."
The Orioles were two outs in the ninth away from just their second four-game sweep of the Oakland A's — the other was at the Coliseum in May 1987 — in the history of the clubs.
But budding superstar Yoenis Cespedes, who was in his first game back from the disabled list with a strained muscle in his hand, lifted a low changeup from reliever Brian Matusz and planted it over the left field wall to tie the game at 8-8 in the bottom of the ninth.
"He took the wind out of our sails," said Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, who broke a 6-6 tie in the eighth with his American League-leading ninth home run of the season. "When [Cespedes] hit that ball, I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?' He is a good player."
Normally, the left-handed Matusz would not be pitching in such a situation, especially against a right-handed slugger such as Cespedes.
But closer Jim Johnson had pitched in five of the past six games and Showalter, who manages a bullpen throughout a full season as well as anyone in baseball, was not going to overuse his closer for the sake of potentially getting an April win.
"It's a little different chain when you need to give Jim a day. But we definitely needed to do that. That was a very easy decision. The tough decision was pitching him [Saturday] afternoon," Showalter said. "You just don't do those things. Because when [Johnson] is gone, you kind of see. You can't pitch six out of seven days, you just can't do it. I'm not going to do it. You pay the price."
Showalter had few other options besides Matusz: Darren O'Day had already pitched, Tommy Hunter was being held out in case he was needed in long relief Sunday or Monday if Zach Britton doesn't go deep.
Right-hander Pedro Strop, who entered the day with an 8.22 ERA, was warming in the bullpen, but Showalter chose Matusz, the converted starter who had been one of the club's best relievers.
Strop picked up a key strikeout against Oriole killer Josh Reddick to finish the ninth, but he started the 10th with a single to Eric Sogard.
And that's when things got a little crazy.
The next batter, Adam Rosales, dropped a bunt that Strop fielded quickly. Instead of taking the easy out, he threw to second — with the ball sailing into center field
With runners on first and second, the A's bunted again. This time Coco Crisp pushed one down to the left side of the infield and Manny Machado pounced on it.
His throw to shortstop J.J. Hardy, who was covering third, bounced into left field. It took Sogard a moment to notice where the ball went. Once he did, he dashed home, ahead of the throw from left fielder Nate McLouth for the winning run.
Just your traditional, walkoff sac bunt/error.
"We were trying to make the plays and unfortunately we didn't complete it, bad execution. The balls were right there, just bad throws. That happens," Strop said. "It's tough. It's a tough one to swallow because the guys were hitting the ball pretty well, playing so hard."
Afterward, Showalter lauded Strop and Machado for trying to make the aggressive play, something the club practiced continually in spring training.
"I applaud both of them. They are both out if [the throws are made]," Showalter said. "I tell the guys all the time, you feel something, go for it. I would have done the same thing. I am proud they went for it."
Hardy pointed the blame at himself for not getting to the base immediately.
"That was the play all along," Hardy said. "Manny knows when he picks up the ball that he is throwing it to third base and I think I was just a little bit late there and that's why I got handcuffed."
And the 20-year-old Machado wasn't exactly glossing over his rushed throw.
"Do or die. That was the right play. It didn't turn out the way we wanted it to," Machado said. "It's obviously frustrating."
The Orioles looked like they were going to cruise to the sweep when they scored four runs in the fourth, sending eight batters to the plate against Bartolo Colon. Davis had a two-run double, Adam Jones an RBI single and Matt Wieters a sacrifice fly.
McLouth triggered the rally with a leadoff single — one of his four hits and four runs scored. He has now reached base in 22 of his last 36 plate appearances. Machado also turned in his first four-hit game of his career while scoring twice and driving in two runs.
In the four-game series, the typical top five in the Orioles' lineup — McLouth, Machado, Nick Markakis, Jones and Davis — combined to go 33-for-82 (.402 average) with five homers, 21 runs scored and 22 RBIs.
"Offensively, as a team overall, we are doing great," Machado said. "We are executing when we need it."
The starting pitching also was dominant again — at least initially.
Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez had barely broke a sweat in his first five innings, allowing just two hits while throwing 65 pitches. But he unraveled in the sixth, throwing 40 pitches and giving up four runs on five hits and two walks (one intentional).
"That's about as good as you see a guy pitch for [five innings]," Showalter said. "It just kind of left him there and he lost a little feel. But we had some good opportunities. He gave us a good chance to win today and you know they were clicking on all cylinders with Cespedes back and hungry. You knew it was going to be tough to beat them today regardless of what kind of lead you might have."
The 40 pitches in the sixth were the most thrown by an Oriole in one inning this season, and it ruined the Orioles' shot of having four consecutive quality starts. Of the 17 runs Gonzalez has allowed this year, eight have come in the sixth.
"I think it just happens," he said. "I got a little bit tired, but you can't go with that. I do what I had to do and kept the team in the ballgame."
Ultimately, though, the Orioles still took three of four from the A's — and that wasn't lost on them.
"Three out of four is outstanding especially to start a long road trip against anybody, no matter where you are," Davis said. "So I definitely think we can be happy about that."

The last of the expanded Patrons adventures linked to the Pirates of Drinax campaign is now here - your Travellers can now enjoy the delights of Liberty Port!
You can grab your own copy here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/222 ... te_id=7242
The people of Sperle are more or less dominated by the General Development Corporation, and are weary of it. They turn to the Travellers to help them create a route for commerce – some would call it smuggling – that bypasses the GeDeCo-controlled starport. Setting up a smuggling route is one thing, but ensuring it is not eradicated by GeDeCo security personnel is quite another. Eventually, the plan spirals out of control, resulting in an armed confrontation that threatens to take many lives.
Liberty Port expands one of the Patron encounters in the Pirates of Drinax campaign into a full adventure, though it can be used in any Traveller campaign.

VIDEO: The GameTime crew breaks down the U.S. win over Turkey and more
BILBAO, SPAIN — Ukraine coach Mike Fratello said it best hours before the U.S. team got its first scare of the FIBA World Cup.
"There are going to be a lot of upsets in this tournament in the four groups, I feel," Fratello said. "And that's because there is such balance. And the team that loses one night is capable of coming back the next night and playing great. That's just what these teams are capable of doing."
That wasn't supposed to be the case in Group C, where the U.S. was expected to have an easier ride than some of the other medal favorites. Sunday's close call (for three quarters) backed up Fratello's assertion. And Senegal's upset of Croatia in Group B on Monday confirmed it.
That might also explain why U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski didn't sound the least bit apologetic about his team not winning bigger against Turkey.
"We won and we won because we deserved to win," he said. "Our guys played their hearts out. And that was a really big win for us against a good team."
Coach K and anyone else who understands the level of competition involved knows that no team in this field, not even the U.S., is going to win big every night out. These coaches understand better than anyone just how competitive the field is here. And it shows in their appreciation of the competition after each and every game.
It's a lesson the players were reminded of Sunday and certainly something for them to chew on with everyone in Group C off on Monday.
Kyrie Irving summed it up best, given his perspective as a first-timer on this stage.
"We separated as a team a little bit in the first half," he said. "We had some adversity. And we faced it."
Shooter's Game?
As deep as the U.S. roster is with quality perimeter shooters, the Americans have struggled to make shots from distance through the first two games of the pool play
They are shooting 35 percent (14-for-40) from beyond the supposedly shooter-friendly international 3-point line. But Steph Curry is just 4-for-17 overall and missed nine of his first 10 shots from behind the line before he got it going late in the win over Turkey.
Curry's Splash Brothers partner, Klay Thompson, isn't worried.
"That's just basketball. We try not to rely too heavily on 3-point shots because we have such good post players and such good guards getting in the lane," he said. "You are going to have nights like that I'm sure next game, we'll go 11 for 20 from three or something like that. That's basketball."
Turkey's matchup zone caused the U.S. plenty of problems, a known blueprint for others in this field eager to identify a weakness they can exploit.
The U.S. didn't panic, though. They didn't try to shoot their way out of trouble when they were down early against Turkey, which seems like a sure sign of the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses they have to manage as the competition moves on.
"If our jumpers aren't falling, we can't let that dictate what we're doing on the other end," Thompson said. "I think we did that a little bit too much [against Turkey]. In the second half, we did a great job of putting the pressure on them, getting to the rim. Once you see a few buckets go in around the rim, it opens up the perimeter so much more."
Pure Energy
Any questions about the fit of Kenneth Faried on this roster for an international competition should be put to rest after watching the way he helped rescue the U.S. with his trademark energy against Turkey.
Faried and Anthony Davis fueled the rally against Turkey and Faried, in particular, showed that his best quality translates in any competition.
"I just love to play basketball," he said when asked where he continues to find the fuel others cannot. "Every time I step on the basketball court, you never know it could be your last game, so I like to play my hardest in every game. When you love the game like that it tends to reward you back."

Thus far, I have found Dracul, Glowing Guardian, The Earthmother, Jehora Jeheyu, Mystera Annur, Taurog, Tikki Tooki, ans The Pactmaker, but game menu still indicates that I've only found 7 of the 9. Of course, I still have Binlor Ironshield to find, but that should put me at 8 of 9. I realize that The Pactmaker can't be worshipped like the other deities, but I've found him twice and the game menu still indicates that I have 2 to go.
What gives? If there's really 9 worshippable deities in the game (with Pactmaker being the 10th deity), the Desktop Dungeons wiki should probably reflect that...unless The Pactmaker can't be unlocked, and #9 is some sort of endgame content that no one has gotten yet.

Accounting for King Solomon's Gold - Creation Moments
1 Kings 6:22: "And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house."
Scripture tells us that Solomon's temple was overlaid with gold inside – the walls, the ceiling and even the floor! Solomon even decorated the Temple with gold, including over two U.S. tons of golden shields. Given the dimensions of the rooms, this would take a huge amount of gold.
For this reason, many modern scholars have expressed doubt about what the Bible reports. Scripture does report that Solomon's annual income was 25 tons of gold. We know that other world rulers in the ancient world held huge amounts of gold. We have all seen the golden treasures that were found in King Tut's tomb. Reliable Greek sources report that Alexander the Great discovered a hoard of 1,180 tons of gold in Susa. So there was obviously a great deal of gold in the ancient world. But what happened to all of Solomon's gold? The Bible records that after Solomon's death Shishak, king of Egypt, invaded Jerusalem and hauled away the Temple treasure. After his death, a year later, his son Osorkon I became king. Three years later, Osorkon made an offering to the gods of Egypt of 383 tons of gold. Was some of that from Solomon's Temple?
There is no reason to doubt the Bible's lavish descriptions of Solomon's Temple. There was more than enough gold in the ancient world to do the job.

National Gout Guidelines launched. Click here to find out more »
We've launched our national #shoutaboutgout campaign. Click here to find out more »
People with gout have been caricatured and laughed at throughout the centuries – but for people living with the condition, it is anything but funny.
Gout is in fact one of the most common forms of arthritis. If you have ever had a gout attack, you may never have experienced pain quite like it.
You are not alone, gout currently affects approximately 1 in 40 people in the UK.
If you think you have gout, it is important you seek help from a medical professional as soon as possible – not only to get the right treatment but also to rule out links with any other possible health conditions.
This website aims to dispel some of the myths surrounding gout and provide you with basic support and information, as well as links to other useful resources.

It was fun while it lasted: visions of Brittney Griner dressed out in the red, white and blue of the Harlem Globetrotters and finishing off their on-court antics with a slam dunk.
But despite being "drafted" by the Globetrotters on Tuesday, the former Baylor and Aldine Nimitz star is sticking with her commitment to play in China after her first WNBA season is over.
The Globetrotters made the 6-8 Griner one of their five picks in their seventh annual player draft. (No word on who the Washington Generals drafted.)
"Brittney Griner is a great ambassador for the game of basketball and a terrific player. We fully support her WNBA career with the
Phoenix Mercury," said Harlem Globetrotters CEO Kurt Schneider. "Our North American tour runs from the end of December to the end of April, which would not conflict with the WNBA season. The Globetrotters already have two outstanding female stars in TNT Maddox and T-Time Brawner, so the transition to our roster would be seamless."
"While it's an honor to be considered, I am under contract with the Phoenix Mercury and the Zhejiang Golden Bulls," Griner told espnW on Tuesday. "And I am 100 percent committed to doing all I can to bring championships to our fans."
In their flair for the dramatic, the Globetrotters also "drafted" New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera.
Rivera wouldn't be the first MLB star to play for the Trotters. Bob Gibson spent a year with them, and Ferguson Jenkins played two years in the offseason to keep in shape. Gibson earned the name "Bullet" for his dunks.
Three other basketball players also may join the Globetrotters: College slam dunk champ Doug Anderson of the University of Detroit Mercy, NAIA All-American Tyrone Davis of
Northwood University (Fla.), and High Point University (N.C.) high-flier Corey Law.
Griner was the first pick in the 2013 WNBA draft. In her debut with the Mercury, she became the first player to dunk twice in a WNBA game. At Baylor, Griner was one of the most outstanding players in women's college basketball history, sweeping all major national awards her last two seasons (AP Player of the Year, Wade Trophy, Naismith Trophy, USBWA Player of the Year, Wooden Award).
During those two seasons, she led the Bears to a 74-2 record, including a 40-0 mark in Baylor's 2012 national championship season.

A few weeks ago I took a day trip with my parents and their friends to Little Italy, San Diego - an unexplored place in a familiar city.
We rode by train. Down the coast to Union Station, where we met with colored tile, old radiators, window panes and light through a Spanish arcade.
It was sunny and blue enough for a new summer dress. Pink and white stripes and lots of fabric in the skirt - to my detriment with wind gusts off the nearby harbor.
We strolled through the late morning's street market and bought daisies for two dollars a bunch.
The afternoon we filled with lunch and a tour; painted ceilings and stained glass, chocolate gelato, neighborhood history and being tourists in our own backyard.
With the end of the day, mom and I explored two more blocks plus a coffee shop, rejoining the others on the 7 o'clock train for all points north.

Livy, I work two blocks from SD's Little Italy and go there all the time! I've always thought it was a great little neighborhood, but your photos and presentation make me realize how wonderful it really is.
You must have gone on a Saturday, if you went to the Mercado...it just started about a year ago and is such a nice little farmer's market! I think it might rival the best one in the city, in Hillcrest, sometime soon...

In a night that was full of sweet victories, few were sweeter than Democrat Tammy Baldwin's successful bid for Wisconsin's senate seat. As she said in her acceptance speech, it was "a huge victory for Wisconsin's middle class." Baldwin's victory was all that and more. The new Wage Class War website spells it out. Along with President Obama's reelection victory, and those of progressive senate candidates like Elizabeth Warren, Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester, and Sherrod Brown, Baldwin's success helped define 2012 as the year that "candidates who supported the economic interests of the many over the few won their elections."
Dubbed a "trusty progressive" by the New York Times, Baldwin will give middle- and working-class Americans across the country reason to celebrate having a strong populist voice in the Senate.
In her victory speech, Baldwin downplayed the fact that her victory made her Wisconsin's first woman senator, and the first open gay U.S. senator. "I didn't run to make history," she insisted. In a sense, that's appropriate, because Baldwin's orientation was essentially a nonissue in her campaign.
Voters didn't' care that Baldwin was gay. During the campaign, her supporters said the issue just didn't come up much. That is, except with Baldwin's GOP opponent and his supporters brought it up. When Tommy Thompson's political director attacked Baldwin for celebrating gay pride, voters didn't care. (Thompson distanced himself from his political director's anti-gay attack, perhaps to avoid drawing attention to his extensive anti-gay record.) When a Washington Times columnist attacked Baldwin as a "radical lesbian," and called her "Barney Frank in a dress," voters didn't care.
Wisconsin voters cared about health care. Baldwin succinctly summed up the difference between herself and Tommy Thompson on health care reform:
"Voters have a choice of moving forward with the Affordable Care Act and its implementation or electing a candidate who would rip it up and start all over again from scratch," she said. "As I run for the U.S. Senate, I run for the opportunity to work on a bipartisan basis to implement the Affordable Care Act as it was passed and address anything about it that isn't working, that isn't helping the people of Wisconsin and people across this country."
On election day, voters made Baldwin one of the candidate who ran on Obamacare and won.
Wisconsin voters cared about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Baldwin shared her personal experience with Social Security and Medicare.
Baldwin told voters that she supported raising taxes for the wealthy, and opposed cuts to these programs, and voters decided to send her to D.C. to speak for them.
Thompson, on the other hand, said to his supporters, "Who better than me … to do away with Medicaid and Medicare?"
Baldwin sponsored the "Buffet Rule," to restore tax fairness. Thompson, on the other hand, supported Grover Norquist's tax pledge, and supported new tax cuts for the rich. On election day, Thompson was one of the Republican candidates who lost the argument on taxes.
Baldwin told a local Wisconsin television station that Social Security "shouldn't even been on the table" during "grand bargain" discussions.
Voters didn't care about Baldwin's orientation, because Baldwin didn't run on a platform of becoming the first woman senator from Wisconsin, or the first gay U.S. senator ever. Baldwin ran on the message she articulated in her victory speech.
… Tonight—tonight we have won a huge victory for Wisconsin's middle class!
And it is that battle for Wisconsin's middle class that has been what this journey is all about. Everywhere that I have gone in our beautiful state, people have told me that they want a senator who will listen to the middle class when they want help. A senator who will stand on the side of the middle class. A senator who will wake up every morning and fight for the middle class. They have told me that they want an economy in which everyone plays by the same rules and does their fair share!
They have told me that they want a level playing field. One where China cant cheat our workers, millionaires cant dodge taxes, and wall street cant crash our economy with risky gambling. They have told me that they want to pay down our debt without short changing our future. They have told me that they want to be able to rely on the guarantees of Medicare and SS not just today but for future generations. Most of all, they have told me the special interests have too much power in Washington and it is time for the people's voice to be heard!
… Now, I am well aware that I will have the honor of being WI's first woman senator! And I am well aware that I will be the first openly gay member!
But—but I didn't run to make history. I ran to make a difference! A difference in the lives of families struggling to find work and pay their bills. A difference in the lives of students worried about debt. And seniors worried about their retirement security. A difference in the lives of veterans who fought for us and need someone fighting for them and their families. A difference in the lives of entrepreneurs trying to build a business and working people trying to build some economic security. But in choosing me as the person to tackle those challenges, the people of WI have made history. And I can't tell you how grateful I am in the trust you have placed in me, and all I can tell you is that I will work as hard as I can to keep that trust!
Yet, her victory was history-making.
Baldwin emerged victorious in one of the closest senate races in the country, against four-term former Republican governor Tommy Thompson, in a state that's home to one of the right-wingers like Scott Walker and Paul Ryan, and disproved conservative claims that progressive politics were a thing of the past in Wisconsin.
Baldwin said voters told her that special interests had too much power in Washington, and the election results bear that out. Baldwin defeated Republican Tommy Thompson, who was the epitome of the Washington insider bought by special interests —from earning millions as a lobbyist by cashing in on his status as a former Health & Human Services secretary (because his wife "like to shop") to working for firm that helped companies ship jobs overseas.
Tammy Baldwin won her election, and will join other progressive winners in Senate because voters saw in her a candidate who would speak up and stand up for their concerns, and be their voice against powerful corporate interests — and who just happens to be a lesbian.
So, yes, Tammy Baldwin made history last Tuesday night. And for all the right reasons.

Rare is the coach who embraces the balance of student and athlete like Sherri Coale. Even fewer teams have had success while emphasizing the books on the same level as the balls.
The symmetry is a trademark of Coale's program.
She meticulously prepares her athletes to excel in the classroom and on the hardwood. In essence, master the game of life and the challenges presented on the court will fall like dominoes.
Those obstacles have routinely been bulldozed during Coale's 19 years as the head coach of Oklahoma.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Take for example the six Big 12 Regular Season Championships, 54 All-Big 12 Team selections, the 92 Academic All-Big 12 honors, the four Big 12 Tournament Championships, the 14 All-District Academic Team members, the 16 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, the four Academic All-America Team Members, 13 All-Americans and nine Sweet 16 appearances.
The foundation was laid years ago during a humble upbringing in the oil mining town of Healdton, Okla. Those morals have stood as the roots of Oklahoma women's basketball for more than a decade.
Now they are flourishing on an elite level.
So as the Sooners sit on the cusp of a season with the biggest national spotlight in program history already glaring in their eyes, Coale and company are sticking to their roots.
And the success that comes with them.
By the conclusion of the greatest run in program history, OU had produced its best record in school and Big 12 Conference history (32-4); won its third consecutive Big 12 regular season title; ended the season with its highest ranking ever (No. 2 in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls); and captured its first NCAA Regional and Big 12 Tournament titles.
That season, Coale also had three players selected in the first round of the WNBA draft: Stacey Dales (3rd/Washington); LaNeishea Caufield (14th/Utah); and Rosalind Ross (16th/Los Angeles).
Oklahoma revisited the record books in 2009 with another 32-win season. The Sooners completed another trek through the Big 12, resulting in its sixth season championship, and the Oklahoma City Regional.
The Sooners finished the season No. 4 in the polls following a buzzer-beating heartbreak in the national semifinals to Louisville.
The Sooners' 2010 Final Four run was defined by resiliency as the team was healing from the graduation of two of its most productive players in history and the loss of Whitney Hand to a season-ending ACL injury after five games.
Still Coale, referred to as many as her best coaching effort to date, guided the Sooners to their second straight national semifinals appearance.
Packing The Lloyd Noble Center
The top 50 largest crowds to see women's basketball all occurred during Sherri Coale's tenure, including the record 12,205 that attended OU's 2008 win against Oklahoma State. The Sooners first surpassed the 10,000 attendance mark on Dec. 29, 1999, against top-ranked Connecticut (10,713 fans). In 2008-09, OU drew more than 10,000 in six different home games.
As the victories came, so did Sooner fans. Nearly two million have watched an OU women's basketball game since Coale's arrival. Coale produced her first winning season in 1999 as OU played in front of 1,558 fans per game. Her 2002 Final Four team drew an impressive 6,606 fans per game and all of the attendance records have been re-written as last year's average shot to 9,007.
But Coale's plan isn't just taking place on the hardwood floor of Lloyd Noble Center. She has worked hard to show the public that the athletic and academic pursuits of OU players should be challenged to the fullest. All the while, she was making sure her players understood that the methods and rules of her program would make them better athletes and better students who would be able to adapt to the outside world once school was completed.
Academic Success
One of Coale's proudest moments was when former Sooner standout Stacey Dales became OU's first player to earn Academic and Athletic All-America honors in the same season (2001-02). Dales also was voted the 2002 Verizon Academic Student-Athlete of the Year for all NCAA Division I sports. Dales was later joined on the Academic All-America list by Theresa Jantzen in 2003 and Caton Hill in 2004.
Sooner Standouts
Paris set a record nearly every time she stepped on the court. She was the first four-time All-American by the Associated Press and U.S. Basketball Writers' Association and the first college basketball player ever, regardless of gender or division, to record 2,500 career points and 2,000 career rebounds.
Paris ended her career owning 20 NCAA, 57 Big 12 Conference and 69 Oklahoma records -- her most famous being a streak of consecutive games with a double-double that lasted 112 games.
Stacey Dales became Coale's first Olympian and the school's first two-time Kodak first team All-America selection. She played on the 2000 Canadian National Basketball team that participated in the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Dales also repeated her Big 12 Player of the Year and All-Big 12 first team honors in 2001 and 2002.
In addition to these two standout players, Coale has coached three players to Big 12 Player of the Year honors five times, 19 players to all-conference honors 43 times and four players to First-Team All-America status. She has also developed 13 players into WNBA draft selections: Dales, Caufield, Ross, Maria Villarroel (2004); Phylesha Whaley (2000); Dionnah Jackson (2005); Leah Rush (2007); Ashley and Courtney Paris (2009); Abi Olajuwon, Nyeshia Stevenson and Amanda Thompson (2010), Danielle Robinson (2011) and Whitney Hand (2013).
Caufield also repeated her All-Big 12 second team honors en route to earning honorable mention Kodak accolades. Hill and Ross appeared on the All-Big 12 third team, while Dales and Jackson were voted to the Big 12 All-Tournament team. Caufield was voted the Defensive Player of the Year by the Women's Basketball News Service and was selected as a Defensive All-American by the Women's Basketball Journal in 2001. Jackson, after appearing on the All-Big 12 second team for two seasons, received first team All-Big 12 honors and honorable mention Kodak All-America honors for the 2005 season.
USA Basketball
Coale and her Sooners have also been honored by USA Basketball. During the summer of 2005, the Sooner mentor was named to the USA Basketball Committee by the NCAA. She served on the national board through 2008.
Previously, Coale had served as an assistant coach on the 2001 USA Basketball Women's Junior World Championship Team that won a bronze medal in Brno, Czech Republic, in July 2001.
Leah Rush made her debut with USA Basketball when she was invited to the 2005 USA Basketball Women's National Team Trials. Rush, an Amarillo, Texas, native, was one of the 16 finalists for a spot on the USA World University Games Team.
Ashley and Courtney Paris had international experience before they even donned a Sooner uniform. Both earned gold medals on the 2004 USA Basketball Youth Development Festival West Team. The twins were also invited to tryouts for the 2004 Junior National Team, 2005 USA U19 World Championship Team and the 2006 USA U20 World Championship Team. Courtney went on to make all three teams and earned three gold medals in three international tournaments with the squads. Courtney Paris was the youngest member of the U.S. Senior National Team in 2008.
Welch and Hill represented OU and USA Basketball during the summers of 2003 and 2001, respectively. Welch, a native of Plainview, Texas, was one of 12 Big 12 All-Stars who represented USA Basketball during the 2003 World University games. Hill was Coale's first player to make a USA Basketball squad. The former Ada, Okla., standout helped the United States to a gold medal at the 2001 World University Games in Beijing, China.
Danielle Robinson won gold with the 2009 World University Games team and was invited to participate with the USA National Team in its 2010 spring training.
Serving Others
Each player under Coale's supervision has participated in the Sooner Big Sis Program, a program that enables players to volunteer their time as mentors and teacher's aides to elementary schools in the Norman community.
In addition, each season the team gives back to the community by volunteering its time to a non-profit organization. In 2010, the team was involved with Norman's Food and Shelter for Friends, caring for the more than 600 homeless and transitioning families in the local area and, in 2011, OU teamed with ABLE - Able Bodies Learning to Excel.
In previous years, the team has volunteered with the Mary Abbott Children's House, Habitat for Humanity, the Oklahoma City's Children's Hospital, J.D. McCarthy Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities in Norman, the Children's Miracle Network, the CCFI, the United Way's "Meals on Wheels," Race for the Cure and the Norman Women's Resource Center and Battered Women's Shelter.
Additionally, the women's basketball team and many other OU programs have made it an annual event to help host and run the Norman area Special Olympics.
Beginning Sept. 1, 2012, Coale began an appointment to the board of directors of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, joining those responsible for the fund's strategic leadership and governance.
Before OU
The next stop was as the head coach of the Norman High School girls' basketball team from 1990-96.
The OU transformation that Coale has spearheaded is strikingly similar to the changes she made at Norman High. She took a declining program and after an 11-12 performance in 1990, her debut season, the Lady Tigers never had a losing record under her tutelage. By the time she left for OU, Coale had directed NHS to two Class 6A state championships and a 147-40 career record. Her final two Norman teams went 53-2. Coale was honored as the region, all-state and Big All-City High School Coach of the Year in 1993.
Through the success of her high school teams, Coale had several players earn NCAA Division I basketball scholarships, including Stacy Hansmeyer to Connecticut (1997-2000), Sarah Dimson to Stanford (1998-2001) and Sunny Hardeman (1998-01) and Shannon Selmon (1999-2002) to Oklahoma.
After being out of the high school ranks for six years, Hansmeyer and Coale were inducted into Norman High School Hall of Fame together in February 2002.
For Coale's life accomplishments, the community of Healdton, Okla., declared August 26, 2001, as "Sherri Coale Day."
Coale isn't the only coach in her household. Her husband Dane, whom she met while at OCU, was formerly the head baseball coach at Purcell High School. She married the former OCU baseball player in June 1987. The couple has two children, son Colton, 21, and daughter, Chandler, 17. The former Sherri Buben and her brother, Jack, are the children of Beverly Stash and Joe Buben. Jack has 13-year-old twins, Jackson and Jaycie.


text: If you were born before the Dutch lost their first World Cup final, you may remember the days when "everybody" knew that PDB entry 1tim was the structure of chicken triosephosphate isomerase, 1hhb was human haemoglobin, 1lyz was hen egg-white lysozyme, etc. Unfortunately, life for a structural biologist is not that simple any longer. Nevertheless, occasionally it would be very handy to get at-a-glance information about some of the crucial details of a PDB entry or a list of entries. When the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; pdbe.org) launched its redesigned website recently, we also introduced PDBlogos and PDBprints. PDBlogos are stylised, intuitive icons that convey important information about a PDB entry (e.g., the experimental technique, the source organism of the sample, or the presence of a ligand). PDBprints (short for "PDB fingerprints") are collections of PDBlogos displayed in a specific order, where each icon represents a well-defined category of information (and where clicking on any icon will take you to a webpage with more information about that aspect of the PDB entry of interest). PDBprints are used in a number of places already, e.g.: - at the top of PDBe's plain-English summary page for every PDB entry (e.g.: http://pdbe.org/random) - in lists of PDBe database-search results (e.g.: http://pdbe.org/advancedsearch?text=homeobox) - at the top of EDS summary pages (e.g.: http://eds.bmc.uu.se/cgi-bin/eds/uusfs?pdbCode=1fcc) A number of other (structural) bioinformatics resources are also considering incorporating PDBprints on their webpages. In fact, they are very easy to include in *any* webpage as evidenced by this page: http://xray.bmc.uu.se/gerard/structures_pdbprints.html For a five-minute illustrated introduction to PDBprints (including instructions on how to include them in your own webpages) point your browser to: http://pdbe.org/pdbprints We hope that you will find PDBprints useful and we value your feedback. --Gerard --- Gerard J.

The sudden executions on April 29 of Teng Kuo-liang (鄧國樑), Liu Yen-kuo (劉炎國), Tai Wen-cheng (戴文慶) and the brothers Tu Ming-lang (杜明郎) and Tu Ming-hsiung (杜明雄) has once again brought Taiwan's policy on capital punishment into focus and attracted international criticism that affects the nation's reputation. There are serious concerns that the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) were not adhered to in these five cases, nor the cases of the 21 people who have been put to death since executions resumed in 2010.
The situation in Taiwan needs to be understood in the wider international context, where 106 states worldwide have abolished the death penalty. There are only 39 countries that have carried out an execution since 2003, and the remaining 52 countries where capital punishment is still legal have not carried out an execution for at least 10 years and are classified as de facto abolitionists.
The debate about the efficacy or otherwise of the death penalty has moved beyond the narrow view that each country or territory has the right to retain the death penalty as a tool of its criminal justice system on the grounds of purported deterrence or the cultural expectations of its citizens. Instead, the majority of governments consider that the death penalty, however administered, violates universally accepted human rights norms embodied in the ICCPR.
Furthermore, experience now informs that no system of capital punishment (however sophisticated it is) can be devised that does not produce error and punishment that is arbitrary, cruel and inhuman. Countries that still retain the death penalty are now challenged with convincing, if not insurmountable evidence of the human rights abuses, inevitable mistakes and inhumanity that accompany it in practice.
In 2009, Taiwan took the bold and progressive step of ratifying the ICCPR as a matter of domestic law, giving the rights enshrined in the covenant legal force in Taiwan. The government has voluntarily agreed to conform to the standards and objectives of the ICCPR, not only in restricting the scope of the death penalty, but also to ensure all the fair trial provisions and other provisions guaranteeing the right to seek clemency are respected in capital cases.
While improvements have been made since the ICCPR came into force, a detailed report reviewing Taiwan's legal obligations under the covenant by the UK-based Death Penalty Project in association with the Taiwan Alliance to End the Death Penalty suggests that Taiwan's system of capital punishment still retains significant room for improvement. The report is to be unveiled in Taipei today.
The report notes that the implementation of the ICCPR since 2009 has brought some progress and improvements toward the protection of the right to life and the right to a fair trial for capital defendants. However, the overall conclusion is that the death penalty remains a serious human rights problem and urgent reform needs to be made to the criminal and constitutional laws that regulate the use of the death penalty to enable Taiwan to fulfill its legal obligations.
These recent executions clearly go against the worldwide trend to restrict the use of the death penalty and to reduce the number of executions pending total abolition, and are in contrast with the obligations Taiwan has voluntarily accepted by ratifying the ICCPR and giving the rights enshrined legal force. The report concludes that unless Taiwan can satisfy the human rights standards to which it has committed, the death penalty should no longer be enforced.
Saul Lehrfreund is co-executive director of the Death Penalty Project.

Liquid Measuring Cups
How we tested
What has happened to the simple liquid measuring cup? When we began shopping for this story, we figured we were on easy street. All we wanted was a 2-cup size with legible markings. Something we could throw in the dishwasher and use in the microwave. No problem, right? Wrong.
A liquid measuring cup doesn't have to be glamorous. It's a basic kitchen tool, meaning that accuracy matters more than looks, that form should follow function. But manufacturers have let their imaginations run wild. We found cup after wacky cup, in silly shapes and candy colors, made of materials that were squishy or flimsy, with markings that ran from overly minimal (No quarter-cup measures? No thirds?) to ridiculously excessive (Pints, tablespoons, and cubic centimeters, anyone?).
Disappointment with the winner of our most recent liquid measuring cup testing sent us on this mission. Our former pick comes with a red plastic clip that you set to the desired level. Instead of crouching down to check precise measurements at eye level (a necessity with traditional cups), you pour until the liquid reaches the level marked off by the clip. However, this cup hasn't held up in the test kitchen—the clip falls off and gets lost, eliminating the very feature that made it our winner.
We were ready to promote our then runner-up, which has survived years of daily use with sturdy grace: the familiar Pyrex glass measuring cup, with its simple red markings. But we found that Pyrex had discontinued this kitchen classic, which requires you to crouch to read it properly, in favor of an updated "read-from-above" design.
Unsure whether any of the new, unusual shapes and features might prove useful, we bought 15 models ranging from $3.99 to $34.99, made variously of glass, silicone, and plastic. After the first few tests, we tossed out seven. How did they fail so quickly? First, some simply weren't accurate. We had two ways of evaluating accuracy: We poured 236.6 ml of water (equivalent to 1 cup) measured in a laboratory graduated cylinder into each cup to see if it reached the marking exactly. We also checked to see if 1 cup of water measured in each model weighed the correct 236.2 grams. We found a few off by small amounts, but one was short by more than 2 tablespoons—a quantity that could turn your baked goods dry. We also automatically rejected models with no markings for quarters and thirds—a nonstarter in a measuring cup.
Hot and Sticky
Since we often use liquid measuring cups to check our progress while reducing sauces, a good model must be heatproof and sturdy enough not to tip when filled with boiling liquid. To test this, we ladled bubbling hot stock into each cup, then poured it out. Two cups that lacked handles quickly became too hot to hold, particularly one made of silicone. The squishy silicone softened with the heat and narrowed where we held it, raising the level of the steaming liquid so high that it scorched our fingers. It was clear that for a measuring cup to be really useful, handles are a must.
Next, we poured hot pan sauce from a skillet into each cup and then poured it out. When we realized we were worried about letting the searing hot pan touch the plastic measuring cups, we decided to explore that fear—and rested the hot pan right on the rim of each cup, leaving it there for five seconds. None melted.
Sticky liquids pose special measuring challenges. Here, we found that in a chilly kitchen, a thick glass measuring cup retained more of the cold than plastic cups, so honey didn't flow or level out as well, and it was harder to remove. One plastic model, which displays markings along two angled ramps inside the cup that can be read from above, created more surface and thus extra scraping work. The very best cups were just an inch or two wider than the spatula, with rounded bottoms instead of sharp corners that trap honey.
Measure for Measure
No matter how accurate the cup is technically, its design features determine how well it works for different users. We rounded up a dozen volunteers to use the cups. After they measured 1 cup of water, we poured it onto a scale to weigh it. With each tester, we repeated the process three times.
It was clear that certain cups facilitated accuracy, with crisp, unambiguous markings, while others—with busy designs and small type—were much more difficult to use correctly. To our surprise, the worst offender in this test was the redesigned Pyrex cup. Thick bands of red paint circle the cup at the 1-cup mark and all markings are printed on the inside, to be read from a standing position. But tester after tester complained that the water level was nearly impossible to see against the red paint.
After all our testing, the top-ranked cups are recommended because they work just fine. They're not especially durable, though. Our otherwise high-ranking plastic cups began showing faint scratches after fewer than 25 trips through the dishwasher. That comes with being plastic. Will they hold up to years of hard test-kitchen use? We're skeptical. Luckily, they come cheap.
This conclusion leaves us as disappointed as ever. After all our searching and testing, we never found the perfect liquid measuring cup. Whether its fatal flaw was a gimmicky design, lack of critical measurement markings, poor material, or—worst of all—inaccuracy, there wasn't a single cup we could highly recommend. Our best advice? Buy up a stash of the classic Pyrex liquid measuring cups before they're all gone from store shelves.
We downgraded models that weren't microwave-safe; all models were dishwasher-safe.
Cups were downgraded for containing Bisphenol A as reported by manufacturers. Research has linked this controversial material to health issues.
Using a laboratory graduated cylinder, we measured 236.6 ml of water (equivalent to 1 cup) and poured it into each measuring cup. We also weighed the water. Because accuracy was crucial, this test was weighted heavily in determining final rankings.
Twelve volunteers measured 1 cup of water and transferred it to a bowl; we then weighed the water to determine accuracy, repeating this three times for each cup. We ladled hot broth and poured hot pan sauce into each cup and tipped the liquid out. We measured honey and scraped it out of the cups. We boiled water in the cups in the microwave, downgrading those that became uncomfortable to handle. The score is composite, reflecting overall performance.
We evaluated the cup's dimensions, shape, gradation markings, and materials.
We ran all cups through 25 dishwasher cycles (using the Dry Heat mode), dropped them from counter height, and rested a hot skillet on the rims of plastic cups for five seconds to check for melting. Cups lost points for signs of wear.
We eliminated the following models in a pretesting: Anchor Hocking 16-ounce Glass Measuring Cup; Anchor Hocking 16-ounce Triple Pour Measuring Cup; Zak! Designs Test Kitchen Measuring Cup, Leifheit Comfortline 2-Cup Measure; Rubbermaid Commercial Bouncer 1 Pint Cup; Taylor Salter Digital Measuring Cup; and the Bennington Catamount Flameware 2-Cup Measure.

Photographer Vincent Dixon and the Mimi Foundation ( a non-profit that helps cancer patients to deal with their condition), join forces to produce 'If only for a Second', a poignant book-project that includes the portraits of 20 cancer patients under a positive light.
The participating men and women were asked to keep their eyes closed during their makeover, a step that they weren't really aware of; they thought it was just procedure for the photo-shoot. They were not expecting to see what they saw later.
The last step of the process entailed the 20 cancer patients and a mirror (a two-way mirror which was hiding photographer Vincent Dixon behind it).
They were asked to open their eyes to see themselves. The surprise they got from the hilarious makeovers clearly shows on their faces- Dixon, behind the mirror, took photographs of their first reaction- a moment of joy, amusement and surprise.

LOST Himilayan Cat In Kamloops BC
Hello, my name is Chanel. March 19th, 2010 between 4am and 7am in the morning our cat escaped from our house. She is strictly indoor because she is nearly blind. She has marked up eyes which make her very distinguishable. She is a white, long-haired Himilayan. She is approximately 12 years old with a microchip but no tattoo or collar. Her whiskers ar crooked and she looks kinda funny but she is part of our family and we are worried dearly.
Currently we have scoured the neighborhood night and day, putting up posters and calling for her, which she usually responds too. We have yet to find her. We also have her liter box outside so she can hopefully catch the scent and follow it home.
Below is a picture of our cat:
This was taken approximately three months ago.
PLEASE if you see our cat or have picked her up/know someone who picked her up, either SEND ME A MESSAGE or call my cell phone at 250 819 1434.
Please, she is dearly missed. She is family.

Chanel, I hope you find your baby soon.
I've heard others suggest before that you should also keep a can of tuna outside as the smell might also help lure her back.
Have you tried calling aroung to local vets, shelters and spca?
Best of luck. I hope you find her soon.
Your cat may be much to scared to respond to your voice during the day. The best time to look for your sweet baby is at night with a flashlight to look for the reflection of her eyes.
If you can, ask your neighbours to look in every nook and cranny of their property as your kitty may be hiding in the tiniest of spaces without them knowing.
If you can, check her litter box through out the night as she will probably not come out during the day.
My parents had an indoor only kitty who got out hiding under their deck for almost a week and didn't know it. The cat did not respond to their owners voice (they lived a couple of doors down) when they were looking for it and the only way the cat was found it came out at 4am and was looking in my parent's basement window and my mom was up and in the basement at the time.
Good luck and keep us posted.

While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions. Stephen R. Covey
Thanks both of you! I'm still looking for her and incredibly worried about her. I have yet to have the chance to go out at any time like 3 or 4am, but I was out at 12am until 1am looking for her but I went back inside because downtown Kamloops can be a scary place. I brought a flashlight and used it as you said but there were no signs.
We have many cats in the neighbourhood so I'm trying to avoid putting out tuna but I did put out water mixed with tuna juice last night just in case she did come back. I also put out some of her food but I couldn't tell if there was any missing this morning as my mother had moved it back inside before I had the chance too.
I've had my neighbours check their yards and they all have a copy of her lost poster. Once again I'm going to ask tomorrow evening if they can take a look through there yards again. I'm going to the SPCA right after work to see if she came in, even if they didn't call. (My boyfriends family called and left their details when they first got their cat and he escaped, and finally they went and checked themselves and he had been there for almost two weeks and nobody had called him.)
Thank you once again for the advice

In the little town of Hebel it feels like time has stood still, leaving behind tales of the Ned Kelly gang, Cobb & Co and old-time dance halls. Hebel's interesting history is brought to life through the public art piece, the Hebel Historical Circle.
Out of the red earth, tall timber posts hover over ten illustrated signs; each telling their own story of Hebel's history. Complete with play equipment for the kids, there is something to keep everyone occupied.
