The nation's mobile carriers weren't kidding in April when they told California lawmakers that they were working "day and night" responding to police inquiries for subscriber information, such as locational data of where the phone was when it made and received calls.
That, they said, made them just too busy to have to report publicly how often they get such requests, and the politically powerful carriers ultimately defeated California legislation requiring them to do so.
But now it's time for that requirement – as well as increased protection for Americans' private data – to be made the law of the land.
On Monday, Rep. Edward Markey (D-Massachusetts), as part of a congressional probe, divulged statistics about the number of requests made to cellphone providers, for the first time ever revealing that the carriers assisted law enforcement an eye-popping 1.3 million times last year alone in dishing out subscriber information like text messages, location data and calling records.
And there was more disturbing information. AT&T revealed it charges a mere $75 for a "tower dump," which tells police what mobile phones pinged a tower in a given time period, though we have no idea how often this happens or whether police store or share that data.
The nine responding companies to Markey – which reported about a 15 percent annual increase in government demands for subscriber information, did not disclose how many of these so-called tower dumps they performed. The dumps provide to law enforcement any cell phone number that has pinged a tower in a given time frame.
"There is no oversight at all of these tower dumps," said Christopher Soghoian, a privacy expert. "We don't know how many tower dumps, or what the government does with the data."
The big four companies – AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon – and the five others need to report how often they perform these, as thousands of innocent people, including those exercising their rights to protest, can be swept up by such an order, and there's no warrant required to get them.
AT&T also revealed that it receives more than 200 "exigent" requests a day – a sworn declaration from an officer that there's an emergency – in which case AT&T hands over the data without a judge approving. That's 79,300 in 2011, up from 25,000 in 2007.
What gives? Is this because more people have cell phones? Have we become a nation rife with emergencies or is it possible that police are abusing this power?
What's apparent from the numbers and the questions they raise is that an informed citizenry can't afford not to know how often and how the government gets access to the data nearly all of us generate daily as we lug our smartphones around everywhere.
In fact, the hodgepodge of data reported by the nine carriers leaves it unclear whether police are routinely violating Americans' constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
That's because the law is murky at best about whether warrants are required for certain things, like locational tracking information that documents when and where a mobile phone pings cell towers or makes calls.
That makes it all the more important for Congress to fix those laws. And lawmakers need to require the nation's carriers, who rent the public airwaves, to regularly report in detail how often they get such requests for data and how they respond.
"The data cries out for a public reporting requirement," said Greg Nojeim, a director with the Center for Democracy & Technology.
There's clear precedent for this information, and gross statistics wouldn't endanger the public. The Justice Department, by law, has to report annually how often they use National Security Letters, obtain espionage and terrorism-related FISA wiretaps, as well as more run-of-the-mill phone tracking methods known as trap-and-traces and pen registers.
The nation's court system also makes public every year the number of criminal wiretaps employed by federal, state and local officials.
The carriers could easily be required to be publish detailed data annually and made available to the public.
And the lawmakers can also do the carriers a favor by finally clarifying what protections Americans' data has – and what the FBI and other law enforcement groups need to do to get the data.
As Voyan McCann, a Sprint vice president, said in a letter to Rep. Edward Markey (D-Massachusetts), it's hard for a mobile phone service provider to know whether it is being properly served, since the legal standard of whether a probable-cause warrant was needed for locational information is murky – and varies across the country.
"Given the importance of this issue, the competing and at times contradictory legal standards, Sprint believes Congress should clarify the legal requirements for disclosure of all types of location information to law enforcement personnel," McCann wrote wrote (.pdf).
Markey, who co-chairs the Congressional BiPartisan Privacy Caucus, asked the carriers in May for the number of times they supply information to law enforcement, and under what circumstances. Markey released the responses Monday.
The American Civil Liberties Union seized on the revelations too, urging lawmakers to pass the Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act, which is pending in the House and Senate. It would require a probable-cause warrant for locational tracking information – and not leave it up to the whims of judges, prosecutors or the carriers.
"Whether they realize it or not, Americans are carrying tracking devices with them wherever they go. Today's new information makes it clear that law enforcement has carte blanche to follow the trail they leave behind," Christopher Calabrese, the ACLU's legislative counsel, said in a statement.
Warrantless locational tracking of Americans is now a legal battleground following the Supreme Court's decision in January requiring the authorities to obtain a warrant before affixing a GPS device to a vehicle and tracking its every move.
Battling to keep that ruling firewalled to vehicle tracking, the Justice Department claims it needs no warrant to acquire the GPS locational data from a cell phone – and instead only needs to show that the information sought is "relevant and material" to an investigation.
The Supreme Court said the act of affixing the GPS device to a vehicle amounted to a search. But when the phone – the GPS device – is already in somebody's pocket, there's no search and no warrant needed, the government argues, "because there is no trespass or physical intrusion on a customer's cellphone."
The administration also claims that, because the locational data is maintained by a third party, (.pdf) Americans have no expectation that it would be kept private. The Supreme Court has not decided the issue.
Congress, however, can and should settle it and require police to get a probable-cause warrant – which will make it clear to all what legal standards should be followed.
"The lack of clarity in the law has put providers in a tough spot and has put law enforcement in a tough spot and has put consumers in an impossible spot. When nobody knows the rules, because the rules haven't yet been set, nobody wins," Nojeim said.
And unless Markey keeps getting re-elected and demanding the information every year, Americans have no way to know what data is being doled out by their mobile phone provider or how often the government requests it.
That's not a healthy way to run a democracy.

And the good news is that this fashion trend is a very simple way of transforming any boring outfit and bring a dose of color into your spring wardrobe. In fact, i actually think this trend can be carried out all year round, when done properly and in proportion. Here are some street style floral outfit inspirations for those that are ready to kick start spring with some fun and color!

– For labor updates, follow: @daldridgetnt | @AschNBA
After 15 hours of negotiations Friday-into-Saturday –- and 149 days of lockout start to finish -– representatives of the NBA owners and players reached a tentative deal on settling their various lawsuits that should lead to a new collective bargaining agreement that will salvage a shortened 2011-12 season beginning on Christmas Day.
Details of what will become a new labor contract still were vague when the meeting ended after 3 a.m. ET at a New York law office. But the bones of a deal reportedly call for the players to receive a "band" share of basketball-related income ranging from 49 percent to 51 percent depending on the league's growth (with a more reasonable shot at 51 than in previous offers). A laundry list of system issues, meanwhile, are intended to make the NBA more competitive across its 30 teams.
NBA commissioner David Stern and Billy Hunter, the former executive director of the players' former union, met with reporters in an impromptu joint news conference shortly after the meeting.
"We've reached a tentative understanding," Stern said, "that is subject to a variety of approvals and very complex machinations. But we're optimistic that will all come to pass and that the NBA season will begin on December 25th, Christmas Day, with a triple-header.
"We're very pleased that we've come this far. There's still a lot of work to be done in a lot of places, with a lot of committees and player groups and the like. But we're optimistic that it will hold and we'll have ourselves an NBA season.
Stern said the owners' labor relations committee would be briefed Saturday, with the agreement passing then to the overall Board of Governors. The commissioner said he expects both bodies to endorse the deal.
Said Hunter: "We're going to turn it all over to the lawyers here and have them work out all the details. We'll be able to then talk with you further as that process proceeds." It could take a week to 10 days for the players to re-form their union and ratify a formal CBA.
Stern and Hunter did share a few details on the shortened season. A 66-game regular-season schedule, first reported by the New York Times Wednesday, is likely, pushing the start of a full playoff bracket a week or so later into spring. The plan is for training camps and free agency to both begin on Dec. 9, though details remained sketchy. All-Star Weekend in Orlando, initially set for Feb. 24-26, is expected to be preserved.
Technically, the talks that stretched from noon Friday into the wee hours Saturday were aimed at settling the antitrust lawsuit filed last week by the players when they dissolved their union. But the essence of that settlement will serve as the new CBA, assuming remaining "B-list" issues are worked out, lawsuits by both the players and the league (anticipating the union's disclaimer of interest) get dismissed, the union gets re-formed with the league's approval and the deal is ratified by both the NBA's 30 owners and its 430-plus players.
The "A-list" issues, though, were the ones that had hung up the season, forcing what will be an opening night delayed by 55 days. They're the ones that caused bargaining to break down Nov. 14 and they're the ones that needed to be addressed to both sides' satisfaction –- or tolerable dissatisfaction -– for the tentative agreement to get struck.
Finding middle ground on those was key. Among them:
— The mid-level exception for non-taxpaying teams will have a maximum length of four years every season (instead of alternating at four years, then three years). Starting salary can be as much as $5 million.
— There apparently will be a "mini" MLE for taxpaying teams, restricting the amount they can offer to free agents.
— A 10 percent maximum escrow tax will be withheld without the unlimited "true up" amount requested by the owners in their previous offer.
— Extend-and-trade deals –- as used by Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks last season –- will be modified but not eliminated in a new CBA. That could impact players such as Orlando's Dwight Howard and New Jersey's Deron Williams.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Visiting Long Beach State scored on a penalty kick 59 seconds into overtime on Friday night to defeat UC Santa Barbara 2-1 in the Big West Conference women's soccer opener for both teams.
Shawna Gordon took the PK for the 49ers (8-3-1 overall, 1-0-0 in the Big West) after the Gauchos were whistled for a hand ball inside the penalty box. Gordon drove the ball to goalkeeper Makenna Henry's right side for the score.
Long Beach State dominated the first half, outshooting UCSB 8-0, but led just 1-0 at intermission.
The 49ers scored the games first goal at 21:22 when the Big West's leading goal scorer Nadia Link carried the ball into the center of the penalty box and made a nifty pass to her left, finding Nicole Hubbard who slid the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. It was Hubbard's sixth goal of the season.
Just over 11 minutes into the second half, at the 56:15 mark, the Gauchos tied the score.
Junior midfielder Katy Roby boomed a corner kick from the right side into the area near the middle of the goal. Freshman midfielder Kelly McGrath made her way through traffic and headed UCSB's first shot of the match past 49er goalkeeper Kaitlyn Gustaves.
The second half was much more even than the first with Long Beach holding a narrow 5-3 advantage in shots. Henry kept the Gauchos in the match with a pair of saves, but she also made solid decisions coming off of her line and had a handful of outstanding punch-outs on crosses, including nine 49er corner kicks.
UCSB was playing without two of its most effective players in senior midfielder and team captain Cory Yoshida and sophomore midfielder Erica Shelton, last week's Big West Offensive Player of the Week. Both players were out with injuries.
Santa Barbara returns to Meredith Field at Harder Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 2 when it hosts Cal State Fullerton in a 1:00 p.m. match. Tickets will be available one hour prior to kick-off. They may also be purchased from the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Building on campus or online by clicking here.
For the convenience of fans, the ICA Ticket Office is once again open on Saturdays from 10am-1pm and there are two convenient parking spots available in the service area between the ICA Building and Robertson Gymnasium.
Sunday's UCSB-Cal State Fullerton match will also be streamed live on Big West TV. Click here to access stream.

People go to the gym to work out, look good and be healthy. But could all that healthy living be making members sick? We all know that gyms can become breeding grounds for germs. With one person after another sweating on the weight machines, the treadmill, the bikes and the mats, it makes keeping the spread of disease and infection under control a daunting task. New super germs like treatment-resistant staph infections have caused illnesses—and even fatalities—in school locker rooms across the country, and it is only a matter of time before we hear stories about local gyms having the same troubles.
So, what can your facility do to reduce the risk of spreading these dangerous diseases? In the past few years, several large commercial cleaning contractors have brought practices typically used in the health care environment, such as cleaning for infection control and cross-contamination elimination, to mainstream facilities across multiple markets. By conducting extensive research and developing strict cleaning guidelines and procedures, these companies are revolutionizing the commercial cleaning industry, including cleaning in health clubs.
Health-based cleaning programs utilize state-of-the-art cleaning technology that is far from the traditional methods of dirty mops and rags. With traditional cleaning tools like string mops and cotton cloths, gym equipment, locker rooms and bathrooms may look clean but may not actually be clean. When using the spray-and-wipe method—which is utilized by many gyms—some germs may be killed, but they are never fully removed and are simply spread around from area to area, turning them into a rich food source for new organisms. Health-based or hygienic cleaning focuses on cleaning at the unseen microbial level to actually kill, contain and remove germs and pathogens and to keep gym-goers safe and healthy.
Implementing a health-based cleaning program may seem complicated and might mean upgrading your cleaning services to a larger, more technologically advanced cleaning contractor. But that doesn't always mean those services will be more expensive. Health-based cleaning technology actually increases production rates, allowing the service provider to deliver more value for your money.
The central components to any effective health-based cleaning program should include:
- Hospital-grade viruscide/germicide disinfectants to kill harmful pathogenic organisms that lurk in the unseen world.
- Color-coding methodology in all cleaning tools to avoid cross contamination. Often, a gym's cleaning crew will use the same cloth to wipe down the bathroom as they do to wipe down your rowing machine, spreading the germs from the bathroom to the gym equipment.
- Microfiber technology in all cleaning cloths and mopping programs to increase soil and matter containment and removal. Microfiber is 99 percent more effective at soil and matter retention than traditional cleaning tools.
- Flat mopping technology to increase efficiency, improve soil removal and further eliminate cross-contamination. Flat mops are lightweight and easy. The super-absorbent fabric allows the user to trap dead germs and contain them in their place of origin.
A gym owner or manager wishing to evaluate whether their cleaning contractor is cleaning for health in their facility should look for the following elements in a facility's cleaning program:
- Each cleaning process should be designed for and focus on soil/matter containment and removal.
- A neutral odor should exist throughout the facility after service, especially in the restrooms. There should be no foul odors indicating bacterial presence or heavy perfumes attempting to cover it up.
- Proper and effective cleaning chemistry should be used, which includes hospital-grade disinfectants on all high-touch points.
- Microfiber technology is in use to increase soil retention with an active color-coding system to reduce/eliminate cross contamination.
- High efficiency, multi-filtration vacuums are in use, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
- Hard-surface flooring is cleaned using color-coded, microfiber flat mop technology with a single dip method to eliminate contamination of clean mop water.
- Proper hand washing and glove-changing protocol is being followed.
- No-touch spray and vac systems are used whenever possible.
Cleanliness of the facility is a major concern of today's gym-goer. Potential gym members read headlines about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staph infection outbreaks, and they want to know what gym owners and managers are doing to minimize their risk of contracting infections at the gym. Adoption of a health-based cleaning program is not only crucial to the health of gym members but also to a gym's bottom line.

Danc of Lost Garden is back with another prototyping challenge; game designer I am not, but I love these things — especially seeing what people come up with. On the plate this cycle? A fishing game that Danc describes as "Frogger using a polar coordinate system, a frog that insists on drifting to the left and only the ability to move forward":
Fishing Girl is a simple fishing game played with one button. It illustrates a design pattern called sequentially linked mechanics. Often when you try to simulate a complex exercise like fishing, you can't easily create a single game mechanic that captures the entire experience. Instead, you string together a series of activities. Each activity is simplistic by itself, but in sequence yields a good approximation of the complex experience. The fishing game is split into the following activities: 1. Casting 2. Positioning the lure 3. Hooking a fish 4. Reeling in the fish 5. Scoring the fish 6. Buying new equipment. Each section should take 1-3 evenings to prototype in Flash. String them all together and you have a fishing game. The nice thing about this challenge is that it is all about bite sized chunks that are easy to build and iterate on.
I'll be looking forward to seeing the results and seeing if someone manages to put together a 'gold medal design.' Fishing Girl: Game Prototyping Challenge [Lost Garden]

BOSTON, Mass. - For the first time in over 20 years, UMass Boston will be represented at the NCAA Division III Indoor National Championship meet as sophomore sprinter Hulerie McGuffie (Lynn, Mass.) was selected to make the trip to Lincoln, Nebraska with the meet scheduled to begin this Friday at the Bob Devaney Center Track on the campus of Nebraska Wesleyan University.
The Lynn native has an opportunity to become the first female to be named a two-time All-American since the Beacons dominating run since the 1980's. She is set to compete in both the 200 and 400 meter dashes this weekend. The preliminary round for both events will run on at 3:05 p.m. (400) and 5:05 p.m. (200). If she does qualify for the finals those will take place on Saturday at 2:45 and 4:15 p.m. respectively.
This season, McGuffie has been sensational on the track dominating both events. She enters this year's championship with qualifying times of 25.18 seconds in the 200 meter dash and 56.11 in the 400 meter dash.

RECENTLY HAVING REACHED the inauspicious age of 42, no longer a kid but not yet feeling entirely grown up, I find myself in a decidedly reflective mood. I've been taking stock—spiritual, emotional, relational, vocational—as I stare with some trepidation at the unchartered future.
Obviously, my experiences of late, while not quite universal, are hardly unique. There are many terms used to describe this time of life, some less generous than others. ("Mid-life crisis" comes to mind.) "Betwixt and between" is how the Scottish anthropologist Victor Turner described folks like me, hunkered down in a "liminal phase"—on the threshold between one chapter of our life story and the next—in a kind of existential limbo. As we wrestle with ambiguity, some of us seek the counsel of wise elders, with the hope that they might steer us in the right direction.
Such was the case at a gathering I attended in New York City earlier this year, where a small(ish) group of young(ish) Christian "influencers"—pastors, writers, artists, and a host of American evangelicalism's mover-shakers—were invited to two private, daylong sessions with the venerable author and theologian Eugene Peterson.
Best known for The Message—his "para-translation" of the Bible into modern English—Peterson is a scholar and prolific writer, authoring more than 30 books including A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, Subversive Spirituality, and (my favorite) Run With the Horses.
In some evangelical circles, Peterson is a rock star. (With the gravitas of an elder statesman and elusive mystique of an artist who isn't concerned with courting public notoriety, he is the Dylan to Billy Graham's Springsteen.) A bespectacled, ginger-haired man with the plain-spokenness and genuine humility commonplace among Montanans, he is a practical sage and modern mystic—equal parts pastor, poet, and pioneer.

Rupert Murdoch's publishing company, News Corp., beat analysts' profit estimates even though advertising revenue continued to fall.
News Corp. -- which includes the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Times of London and HarperCollins book publishing -- released its fiscal second-quarter earnings late Thursday. It was the second earnings report at the company since it became a stand-alone entity at the end of June.
"Direct comparables are awkward because the company, in its present form, did not exist a year ago," News Corp. Chief Executive Robert Thomson told analysts on an after-market conference call.
For the October-December quarter, News Corp. reported net income of $151 million, or 26 cents a share, compared with nearly $1.4 billion, or $2.42, in the year-earlier period.
Earnings in the previous-year period benefited from a nontaxable gain of about $1.3 billion related to the November 2012 acquisition of some Australian television businesses.
Revenue slipped 4% to $2.24 billion, compared with $2.32 billion in the prior-year period.
The company's adjusted earnings of 31 cents a share were considerably higher than analysts' estimates of 20 cents a share.
News Corp. stock rose in after-hours trading. It closed up 41 cents to $16.02 a share.
The company's main driver, its News and Information Services unit, generated $1.6 billion during the fiscal second quarter, a 9% decline from a year earlier. Revenue fell 17% at the Australian newspaper group, which is grappling with the weak economy in Australia.
Circulation and subscription revenue fell 7%, primarily because of problems at its Dow Jones institutional unit. The declines were partially offset by subscription price hikes for the Wall Street Journal and WSJ.com and a higher cover price for the Sun in Britain.
HarperCollins revenue increased 4% to $391 million, thanks to improved sales of children's books and general books. Electronic book sales soared 39%.
The company's fledging educational materials business, Amplify, suffered declines but company executives told analysts to stay tuned. Amplify is seeking wider adoption of its curriculum product and several states, including California, are expected to begin a curriculum review.

Chef du Jour: Culinary olympian helps others grow food ventures
In his 30 years in the culinary field chef John Reed has served as executive chef at restaurants around the world and as a teacher closer to home. Today he wears another hat, that of culinary consultant helping businesses ranging from caterers to food equipment managers improve their operations.
"I realized some companies needed certain skill sets but couldn't afford to have someone of my skill level on the payroll full time," said Reed of his company, Customized Culinary Solutions in Skokie.
"I began to build business by helping other companies be successful in difficult times by offering specific solutions for a focused need or gap in their business."
Who first fueled your passion for cooking? I started cooking and experimenting with food when I was 8 or 9 years old and then got a job on a farm picking organic vegetables. Those little things and my parents being somewhat frugal with food started me down the path.
When I began this career, French cooking (nouvelle cuisine) and chefs were the ones we had as references. I was classically influenced by Escoffier. I had two chefs that had a tremendous influence on me. Chef Reto Demarmels influenced me how to be a leader, and chef Carrie Nahabedian from Naha restaurant in Chicago taught me strong discipline and fundamentals.
What are some of the places you've worked? I have been an educator at Johnson & Wales University and the College of DuPage. I have worked in Florida, Massachusetts and Switzerland. In Chicago I have worked for Four Seasons Hotel and most recently before starting my own business at Food For Thought Catering in Lincolnwood.
What do you enjoy most about your job? It changes every day. There is always something to cook and taste.
What does Customized Culinary Solutions offer clients? The business model is based on "On call executive chef and culinary support services." CCS is available on an as-needed basis to answer questions, provide solutions or bounce ideas off for all things related to serving great food. Services would include customized menus, recipe management from written recipes to database setup and management, mentoring and development of culinary departments from restaurants and catering companies to food and equipment manufacturers. We also support the sales and training process through demonstrations at networking and trade show events.
You're a member of the American Culinary Federation's culinary team. What is your role as part of this team? I was most recently part of the ACF Regional Culinary Team that competed in what is called the "Culinary Olympics." It is an international cooking competition held every four years in Erfurt, Germany. We were one of four teams under the ACF umbrella that represented the U.S. at this competition. I was part of a five-person team that presented a cold food display. We competed against 45 other teams from around the world and finished fourth overall.
Working in so many ways within the culinary industry, what role have you enjoyed most? It always goes back to not what I have done or been recognized for, it is always how have I helped someone else get excited and rewarded in the industry. It is humbling when someone else said you were an influence on their career. Seeing my kids enjoy food and seeing people sitting around a table communicating and laughing is rewarding. If the food I put on the table is a part of that, then I am happy.
Do you have a favorite style of cuisine? I love to cook everything. Some days I cook cuisines from around the world to homemade burgers and fries to multiple course dinners for the family. It changes every day.
What advice do have for novice cooks? The advice I will always give to anyone who cooks is to "let your hair down." Food and cooking should be fun and from the heart. Don't be rigid to a recipe. Cooking -- unlike baking -- is highly dependent on multiple variables. Read a recipe, let it guide you but not rule you. If you are missing something, change it to what you have. You never know what you might end up with. It could be awesome or it could be bad, but you would never find out.
What are your must-have kitchen tools? You need three to four good knives, not a collection, a good set of pans, a stand mixer, food processor and your mind. You don't need a bread maker, ice cream maker, toasted sandwich maker, etc. They are all bits of clutter. They are crutches and more a hassle than kneading bread on a counter.
What types of meals do you enjoy cooking when at home? My kids have said it many times, "anything in a casing or from the odd bits of animals."
What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy talking about cars with youngest boy, golfing with my oldest boy, gardening, traveling with my wife and cooking for my friends.
Tell us about this recipe: This is a bright and refreshing salad that doesn't require a lot of work. I usually serve this on a buffet table. It's great addition to a holiday menu. Fennel, citrus and arugula all work well together. The lemon juice brings a nice balance to the peppery and anise flavors of the greens and fennel.

It was a happy Thanksgiving for us. This pile of shoes make me happy- full house, lots of family together. That's enough to be Thankful for this year. Family, new and old.
On a slightly crafty note, the kids made some some turkey place marker cookies with Gramma. Vegetarian and gluten free- equal opportunity. Not for the diabetics though, I've got nothing for ya.
Gluten free chocolate chip cookies (from a packet) with some chocolate icing, pretzel bits (gf for those that needed it), almond slivers, candy corn, mini chocolate chips on upside down white chocolate chip eyes.
Looking forward to Christmas. More family, and not just one side. More family... more treats! Getting a little hungry thinking about my moms fudge and lemon squares!

The District Eight Breakfast bar stool has hand braised metal joinery only possible from District Eight's team of specialised craftsman and an adjustable height.
The District Eight Breakfast bar stool collection compliments the District Eight range perfectly. The hand braised metal joinery only possible from District Eight's team of specialised craftsman combines with original cast iron collars and an adjustable seat to create something truly original. This model comes with beautifully hand turned and stained African Sapele wood and includes a pressed steel asjustable backrest. District Eight Design sources its cast iron from imported vintage machine parts, primarily Japanese weaving looms. These parts are sorted into salvageable components with the rest being melted down and recreated as table legs through hand laid sand-casting. Minor imperfections from this process add to the authenticity and uniqueness of the finished piece. All castings at District Eight are produced from 100% authentic recycled material, which are then electrochemically treated against corrosion, blackened, waxed and oiled to give each piece its own individuality.

Liberal Democrats, British political party founded in 1988 through a merger of the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party, or SDP. In the middle ground between the dominant Labour Party and the Conservative Party, the Liberal Democrats occupy a centre-left, libertarian position.
The Liberals became a recognizable political party in the mid-19th century. Dedicated to the extension of civil rights and social welfare, they were the principal opposition to the Conservative Party until the rise of Labour in the early 20th century. The Social Democratic Party (SDP) was formed in 1981 by former Labourites who were dissatisfied with that party's domination by leftists and trade union officials. Almost from the very founding of the SDP, the Liberals and Social Democrats were allied with each other, presenting themselves as the alternative to a polarizing choice between radical Labourites and Conservatives. The Alliance, as it was sometimes called, polled 25 percent of the popular vote in the 1983 general election, raising speculation that it might break the "two-party mold" of British politics. But the party was hampered by internal tension and the anomalous effects of Britain's first-past-the-post electoral system, and it won only 23 of 633 seats in the House of Commons. The Alliance gained 23 percent of the vote in 1987 but still suffered from the electoral system and widespread criticism that it lacked a coherent identity and program and an effective leadership. On March 3, 1988, the two parties formally merged as the Social and Liberal Democratic Party, and in 1989 the party adopted the present name.
Paddy Ashdown, a former Liberal and a member of Parliament for Yeovil (Somerset), was elected the first leader of the new party in July 1988. Ashdown's avowed strategy was initially one of "equidistance" between Labour and the Conservatives. He sought to ensure that the new party fully supported free-market economics and was not encumbered by predilections for controversial policies, such as wage and price controls, to reduce unemployment. At the same time, he laid out a program that had a radical and reformist edge.
The initial portents for such an approach were far from promising. The Liberal Democrats won only 6 percent of the popular vote in elections to the European Parliament in June 1989 and trailed badly in national opinion polls. In the early 1990s, however, a series of encouraging by-election results and Ashdown's growing popularity boosted the party's fortunes, though the Liberal Democrats won only 18 percent of the vote (20 seats) in the 1992 general election. Between 1992 and 1997, the Liberal Democrats scored stunning by-election victories and increased their support in local elections; at the depth of the Conservative Party's unpopularity, the Liberal Democrats became the second largest party (after Labour) in local government. The Liberal Democrats' major breakthrough at the national level came in the 1997 general election, in which they benefited from a sophisticated targeting of campaign resources on a limited number of constituencies. Although they won only 17 percent of the national vote, they more than doubled their parliamentary representation to 46 seats.
After Ashdown resigned as party leader in 1999, Charles Kennedy, the party's spokesperson on European affairs (1992–97) and on agricultural and rural policies (1997–99), was elected to replace him. Under Kennedy's leadership, the Liberal Democrats made significant gains in the House of Commons in both the 2001 and 2005 general elections. In 2006, however, Kennedy resigned after admitting he was an alcoholic, and Sir Menzies Campbell was elected party leader. Although Campbell led the Liberal Democrats to a strong showing in the May 2006 local elections, the party's popularity subsequently declined. Amid growing concerns that Campbell was too old to lead, he stepped down in 2007 and was succeeded by Nick Clegg.
During the 2010 election campaign, the Liberal Democrats surged in the public opinion polls, particularly because of Clegg's performance in the country's first televised party-leader debates. In the event, however, the Liberal Democrats finished a disappointing third, winning 57 seats, 5 fewer than in 2005. With no party achieving a majority in the House of Commons, Clegg and the Liberal Democrats subsequently formed a coalition with David Cameron and his Conservative Party (Britain's first coalition since World War II), with Clegg securing the post of deputy prime minister.
One of the conditions secured by Clegg when the coalition was finalized was the promise of a referendum on the adoption of the alternative vote system. That poll, held along with local elections in May 2011, proved disastrous for the Liberal Democrats. Not only was the alternative vote referendum soundly defeated, but the party lost hundreds of local council seats, and its representation in the Scottish Parliament dropped from 16 seats to just 5. That precipitous electoral decline continued in the May 2014 election for the European Parliament, in which the Liberal Democrats' representation fell from 11 seats to 1. The slide culminated in May 2015 with the Liberal Democrats' worst-ever showing in a general election. The junior partner in the previous governing coalition won just eight seats, and Clegg—one of the few senior Liberal Democrats to retain his seat—resigned as party leader.
In July 2015 the Liberal Democrats elected Tim Farron to be their new leader. Led by Farron, the Liberal Democrats gained 4 seats (to reach a total of 12 seats) in the June 2017 snap general election called by Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May. Farron then stepped down as party leader and was replaced by Vince Cable in July.
Policy and structure
The Liberal Democrats have maintained the old Liberal Party's tradition of radical or social liberalism. In particular, they have laid great emphasis on issues of constitutional reform, including electoral reform, devolution of state authority from the centre to the regions, reform of the House of Lords, and the need for freedom-of-information legislation and a bill of rights. The Liberal Democrats take a left-of-centre stance on educational and social issues and are committed to European integration. Such policies have directed the party toward the ideological space occupied by the "new," less radical, Labour Party—a movement that was attested to by the leadership's 1995 decision to drop the formal strategy of "equidistance" between the two major parties. After the 1997 elections, the Liberal Democrats sought greater cooperation with the governing Labour Party, forming an informal pact on areas of agreement, including European integration and constitutional reform. The unprecedented agreement provided seats for the Liberal Democrats on a Joint Cabinet Committee.
The Liberal Democrats are an amalgam of their predecessors in organizational terms. Displaying the federalism of the Liberals, they operate separate but parallel English, Scottish, Welsh, and Federal party structures. In policy making, the Federal Conference, which meets twice a year, is formally sovereign, though much of the decisive influence over policy proposals put before conference is wielded by the Federal Policy Committee (an innovation derived from the SDP), which consists of the party leader, the party president (the chief extraparliamentary figure in the party), and representatives of the parliamentary party, the national parties, the local councillors, and the grassroots organizations. The Policy Committee also has control over the drafting of the party's election manifestos.
The Federal Executive, chaired by the party president, oversees the party's general affairs. It consists of the party leader, the vice presidents, members of Parliament, local councillors, representatives of the national parties, members elected by the Federal Conference, and various other members.
There are a number of incentives for rank-and-file members to participate in party affairs, chief among which are the right to elect the party leader and president, the right to vote in any consultative policy referendum called by the Federal Executive, and the right to participate in the selection process for parliamentary candidates. The national party organizations draw up lists of approved candidates from which local parties can select their own shortlists; the national parties can remove names from the approved lists at any time.
One of the most striking features of the electoral support won by the Liberal Democrats (as well as their party's progenitors) is its heterogeneity. The party regularly wins the votes of about two-fifths of all managers, professionals, and nonmanual employees; approximately one-quarter of manual employees; and one-fifth of self-employed individuals. Geographically, some regions of relatively concentrated Liberal Democrat voting are recognizable, especially in the so-called Celtic fringes of Scotland and southwestern England. The party's membership is overwhelmingly middle-class and highly educated—even more so than that of the Conservatives. Financially, the Liberal Democrats are the most poorly funded British party: unlike the two dominant parties, they are unable to rely on major corporate or trade union sponsors and are forced to raise funds from the individual membership and from a few wealthy sympathizers.Paul David Webb The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

HOOPS (M): Delaware keeps rolling, William & Mary's bench, other notes from CAA teleconference
Delaware coach Monte Ross knows what his team does ultimately dictates what other teams can do. But, just because the Blue Hens play a fast-paced offense doesn't mean they can't also play a little defense. "Once league play has started, we are getting much closer to where we would like to be," Ross said.

Daughter enters no contest plea in 1993 murder of Norwich woman
Irene R. Reynolds, charged with murder 17 years after her mother was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her Norwich home, pleaded no contest to a reduced charge Monday and will be released from prison following her sentencing in February.
Reynolds, a 41-year-old mother of three and longtime newspaper carrier, will be sentenced Feb. 13 to 30 months in prison for second-degree manslaughter.
She was scheduled to go on trial in New London Superior Court Monday for the beating death and strangulation of 60-year-old Bertha Reynolds on July 9, 1993. In opting to go before a jury, she had turned down an offer from State's Attorney Michael L. Regan to plead guilty in exchange for a 10-year prison sentence. A jury had been selected and testimony was scheduled to begin Monday.
But Regan said the state ran into several problems while preparing the case for trial. He and defense attorney Linda J. Sullivan renewed plea negotiations last week and formalized the deal Monday before Judge Susan B. Handy.
Regan cited missing physical evidence from the state forensic laboratory, the diminished memories of certain witnesses and the inability or difficulty in finding other witnesses. He said he would elaborate at Reynolds' sentencing.
According to the state, Bertha Reynolds, who with her husband, James, had adopted Irene Reynolds as an infant, was found dead at the foot of her basement stairs in her home at 84 Laurel Hill Ave. in Norwich on July 9, 1993. The 60-year-old woman had a pillow under her head when she was discovered and her feet were propped on the stairs. Her face was bloodied. The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled she had died of blunt force trauma and ligature strangulation.
The Southeastern Connecticut Cold Case Unit revived the investigation a few years ago and charged Irene Reynolds after speaking with a one-time roommate of Reynolds who said she had witnessed the killing. Kim Stone told the investigators she saw Irene Reynolds beat her mother with her hands and a floor lamp until Berha Reynolds was no longer moving, Regan said. Stone, who had been interrogated several times over the years, admitted she had lied in the past.
Reynolds, who has been incarcerated at the Janet S. York Correctional Institution while awaiting trial, wore a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants to court and had her long hair pulled into a ponytail. She calmly answered a series of questions that Handy posed to ensure she understood the last-minute plea deal.
Once Handy accepted Reynolds' plea, her attorney asked the judge to reduce Reynolds' bond from $1.5 million so that her client could be released from prison right away.
Sullivan said Reynolds, who was arrested in May 2010, has served more than her sentence of 30 months in prison. She said Reynolds has a severely handicapped son who has been in foster care since her arrest and a 10-year-old son. Sullivan asked the judge to at least allow Reynolds to go home for the holidays.
Reynolds' husband, Joel Outlaw, begged the judge to release his wife.
"We need her at home," he said. "It's been very hard for us."
Handy denied the motion.
"I am not unsympathetic to the fact it's been difficult for the family," the judge said. "That is not a reason for me to reduce the bond."

Placenta Accreta After Cesarean
A for-real recommendation regarding a mom's concerns about placenta accreta over her previous cesarean scar:
"In the most unlikely event that your placenta doesn't come after 24 hours (24 HOURS?!?!) or so, and if you pull gently on the cord yourself it doesn't budge after that time, and if you have some cayenne and honey and it doesn't budge, and if you have some of Gloria Lemay's tea for postbirth placenta release it doesn't budge, and you've done a wee, eaten, walked around, squatted a coughed, had lots of booby, released any residual pain/fear/grief after your birth then you might consider going to hospital to see if there's something else going on. Since there's no actual problem till postbirth, that's the best time to go to hospital. They can't frighten you about your baby dying blabla if the babe is already earthside and fine.
She might "consider going to the hospital to see if there's something else going on"?!?
She may not get frightened by the hospital about the baby dying, but I wonder if they tell her that she might die counts.
The "advisor" neglects to mention watching for signs of infection, especially since pesky bacteria might be climbing up that cord even as she waits for the placenta to come out. Wouldn't it just be a drag to have to be hospitalized for a two-week course of IV antibiotics because of leaving the cord dangling? Just like long-ruptured membranes and a zillion vaginal exams can introduce buggies into the pelvic arena, the baby's lifeline (no longer needed, of course) acts as a super-highway for super-bugs.
The "advisor" also doesn't say what to do if the concerned mom bleeds a torrent (with or without the placenta birthing). Forgets to add that when she pulls "gently on the cord" she could cause a partial detachment and subsequent hemorrhage. Or when she pulls "gently on the cord" her uterus might fall out. Doesn't tell her the signs to recognize an occult abruption. And there certainly isn't any acknowledgement or encouragement to listen to her instinct to not birth at home.
Oh, I forgot. That's the side ignored lest it sour the birth experience. Too much doom and gloom. See all the FEAR I have? No, it isn't education and experience; it's flat out fear. rolling eyes And who wants that at their birth? (That was a rhetorical question.)
Perfect thoughts = perfect birth, right?

Highline School District Scores Improve in Every Grade on State Math Exams
The Highline School District announced Wednesday (Aug. 29) that its schools made significant progress on state standardized tests in 2012, especially on math exams, where scores are up across the board.
"These scores represent the hard work and dedication of our staff and students. I am very proud of them," says Superintendent Susan Enfield. "We won't be satisfied, however, until all our students meet or exceed standard. We will be involving staff, families, and community partners in a district-wide conversation about how we can ensure that every student is truly on a path to success."
In Math, scores are up in every grade tested at elementary school, middle school and high school levels. Results increased dramatically in several grades, including third grade (+8) and eighth grade (+13)
In Science, test results improved at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Scores jumped13 points at fifth grade.
In Writing, scores increased in every grade level in which writing is assessed. They went up by five points in fourth grade and tenth grade.
Several schools saw significant gains in all subject areas. At Des Moines Elementary, Principal Jenniffer Reinig says closely monitoring students' progress, embracing the district's new math curriculum, and teaching to state standards led to improvements.
Des Moines Elementary State Test Score Improvement:
- Reading: +7
- Writing: +19
- Math: +10
- Science: +22
Chinook Middle School, a SeaTac-based school previously identified as low performing, made significant progress by giving students multiple opportunities to learn, among other strategies, according to Principal Mark Demick.
Chinook Middle School State Test Score Improvement:
- Reading: +7
- Writing: +5
- Math: +17
- Science: +16
Principal Jenni MacDonald at Health Sciences and Human Services High School (HS3) in White Center, credits high expectations for all students, a focus on reading and writing in all classes, and Saturday school for double-digit increases in scores.
HS3 State Test Score Improvement:
- Reading: +9
- Writing: +22
- Algebra: +15
- Geometry: +14
This fall, the district will begin a major strategic planning process that will set specific goals and metrics for improvement over the next five years. There will be multiple opportunities for public input on the strategic plan. Information about community meetings and other opportunities to participate will be announced in September.

Microbiologist Christina Agapakis and scent artist Sissel Tolaas' science-meets-art project "Self Made" seeks to challenge the way we think about microbes, scent, and the nature of disgust. Most cheese is made by taking milk and spoiling it with the bacteria, Lactobacillus. This bacteria transform milk sugars into acid, causing it to coagulate. The chunks are removed from the liquid and aged with specific yeast that creates specific cheeses. Lactobacillus and yeast can be found all around us, including our own skin. Agapakis and Tolaas take microbes from people's skin – like Michael Pollan's belly button or artist Olafur Eliasson's tears – and add them to milk in order to create a human microbial cheese portrait (a cheese selfie?).
"The idea was to recognize, how do we get grossed out? Then to think about it and move beyond that initial idea of disgust," Agapakis says. "Why are we more uncomfortable with bacteria on the body than we are with bacteria in cheese?"
From the artists' statement, "Many of the stinkiest cheeses are hosts to species of bacteria closely related to the bacteria responsible for the characteristic smells of human armpits or feet. Can knowledge and tolerance of bacterial cultures in our food improve tolerance of the bacteria on our bodies? How do humans cultivate and value bacterial cultures on cheeses and fermented foods? How will synthetic biology change with a better understanding of how species of bacteria work together in nature as opposed to the pure cultures of the lab?"
"Self Made" is currently on view (and smell – the project is for thinking, not eating) at Gallery Science in Dublin until January 2014 as part of the "Grow Your Own" exhibition along with other synthetic biology projects including a mouse cloned from Elvis Presley's DNA, a yogurt drink that yields disease-diagnosing feces, and a project that proposes a future in which humans could give birth to endangered species.
