Conchita's plea: Link's ex-wife admits guilt
In the decade since she was divorced by the world's most celebrated railroad photographer, Conchita Link Hayes always insisted that she was not hoarding his steam railroad photographs and other priceless memorabilia. That changed on Thursday, March 4.
"She pleaded guilty," said prosecutor Edward Whitesell, "so there's no trial."
In January, the fame of her former husband, O. Winston Link, who died three years ago, got a boost with the opening of a museum in Roanoke bearing his name.
Whitesell said he fully expected the prosecution to begin as planned on Monday, March 8, in Dutchess County, New York. "There had been some [plea] discussions over the past few weeks," Whitesell said, "but they didn't seem to be very fruitful."
About a week before the trial, Whitesell says, the defense attorney suggested a deal that would probably result in a two- to four-year sentence. Conchita, age 68, could have faced up to 15 years had she been convicted at trial, Whitesell says. She and her current husband have been jailed since they were caught trying to sell some Link photographs in May.
Whitesell says the plea has several positive ramifications, most notably that Conchita waives her right to appeal. That means the Link estate– and perhaps the new museum– will soon get the recovered booty: over 100 20"x24" prints and nearly 400 16"x20" prints. Just 30 of the larger prints, confiscated last May in a sting, were appraised at nearly $500,000, Whitesell says, so the total trove is worth several million dollars.
And there's more than photos. When authorities searched a rented storage unit in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Conchita was living, Whitesell says, they also found early notebooks and other Link writings– as well as the original ink stamp Link affixed to his unique nighttime photographs of America's last steam railroad. Whitesell says that had the case gone to trial, appeals might have stretched as long as five years, and the state would have to retain all the memorabilia.
"Those are things people might want to be able to see," says Whitesell. "I thought it was important that those things didn't stay locked up in some evidence locker."
The case of O. Winston Link and Conchita Hayes had the makings of a scary movie. Some of Link's friends have described the elderly photographer confined in a basement by a cheating wife who forced him to make prints day after day, the proceeds of which he wouldn't live to see.
Link would, however, live to see some measure of fame. At the time of his death in 2001, the photographs he shot along the Norfolk & Western Railway in the late 1950s had become the subject of numerous gallery shows and two books.
The couple married in 1984. The court agreed with Link's claims in his 1992 divorce suit that his wife had stolen over $300,000 by forging Link's signature, misusing his bank accounts, and handing over $60,000 to her lover in upstate New York. The recent criminal charges had stemmed from her failure to comply with a court order in that case.
A 1996 larceny conviction put Conchita in jail for four years; upon her release in 2001, she married her lover, Edward Hayes. In May 2003, prosecutors conducted a sting operation in which an investigator– posing as a corporate collector recovered 30 prints valued at $350,000 to $500,000. "And that value has increased," Whitesell says, "due to the publicity." The pair are currently jailed for that crime.
Tom Garver, the museum's organizing curator and a former Link field assistant, says that many of Link's possessions have never been found.
"In fact," says Garver, "a lot more was stolen: his father's stamp collection, his father's coin collection, and many more photographs."
The prosecutor included a clause that might address those missing goods. As part of the plea, Conchita Hayes had to swear that the contents of the raided storage unit are the last of the property she took from the marriage. Should more material turn up, she would immediately face a perjury charge, Whitesell says.
"I think it's very interesting that she has admitted she was selling hot goods," Garver says, "because she never has before."
While Garver downplays the claim that Link was held captive by his wife, two close Link associates, attorney J. Edward Meyer and gallery owner Robert Mann, allege that Conchita used barriers– including metal chains on the staircase– to confine her arthritic husband in their Westchester County basement in the early 1990s.
She told a railroad magazine he had Alzheimer's and sent cards asking galleries to direct all correspondence to her "due to illness."
"No one realized what was going on," Mann told The Hook in January, "but this is how she was setting a foundation for her master scheme."
What isn't disputed is that Link– who survived another 10 years and played a role in bringing the photographic trove to Roanoke– lived in his basement where his darkroom was located and made prints. Link's friends say that the photographer was indeed physically ailing at the time but that his mind remained clear.
"This woman is the epitome of evil," Mann has said.
"That's nonsense," says Conchita's lawyer, L. Brittany Kilpatrick, who describes the basement as "carpeted and nicely furnished."
"She felt that he had Alzheimer's," continues Kilpatrick. "And my reading of the transcript of the criminal trial led me to believe this guy was wacko. He certainly did not sound like a nice man from the [trial] transcript. He was very caustic."
Link's friend Garver blames Link's physical frailty– after a lifetime of independence– for turning him "negative" and "querulous" in his final years. Garver says there is another good reason: "He always had a paranoid streak, and the episode with Conchita amplified that."
Kilpatrick says that although her client has pleaded guilty to criminally possessing the photographs, they were fairly acquired during the marriage. "She maintains she never stole any prints from Mr. Link," says Kilpatrick.
Be that as it may, last week, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes pleaded guilty to criminal possession of stolen property. Sentencing is set for April 2.
This card, allegedly sent to art dealers and galleries, was evidence in the civil case against Conchita Mendoza Link Hayes.

Charges of rampant steroid abuse among Major League Baseball players may be overshadowing the opening of the 2005 season, but scrutiny of the performance-boosting drugs' impact on professional sports is far from over. The same congressional committee that in March turned the spotlight on steroids in baseball is now looking to probe the NFL, NBA and other sports leagues.
Despite the attention on steroids and professional athletes, most medical experts are more concerned about the drugs' impact on younger users. On Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a new policy statement condemning the use of steroids among children and adolescents. The doctors' group called on parents and coaches to take a stand against performance-enhancing drugs and "win-at-all costs" thinking.
Steroid use doubled among U.S. high-school students between 1991 and 2003, according to a May 2004 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 6 percent, or as many as 1 million U.S. students, said they had taken steroids for at least one cycle (8-12 weeks of use).
But along with pumped-up muscles and unshakable confidence, anabolic steroids can damage the heart and liver, stunt bone development and cause extreme mood swings, acne and weight gain, researchers say.
Coming off them can be just as dangerous, experts add.
Adolescents more vulnerable
Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances related to testosterone, a male hormone that occurs naturally in the body. The drugs are legally used by medical doctors to help patients with muscle-wasting diseases such as AIDS.
Although designated a controlled substance by the U.S. government in 1990, athletes and bodybuilders take steroids to increase muscle mass and strength. Because the effectiveness declines after continuous use, experienced athletes will inject or pop them for 8-12 weeks in patterns known as "cycles," allowing their bodies to rest for several months before beginning another round.
New research suggests the drugs can cause a powerful psychological dependency and stopping them safely requires careful medical oversight. Withdrawal can lead to severe depression lasting for months.
During a recent House committee hearing on steroids, members heard about three young athletes who committed suicide shortly after quitting steroids. Withdrawal from high doses of steroids have been linked to suicidal thoughts and behavior, especially in adolescents.
"What we worry about most is people getting so depressed that they become suicidal," says Dr. Kirk Brower, head of the University Of Michigan's Chelsea Arbor Addiction Treatment Center in Detroit. "Adolescents are more vulnerable to [steroid withdrawal] because they're already at a high risk for suicide."
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people 15 to 24 years of age, according to U.S. government studies.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
It's not just hyper-competitive jocks who abuse the substances. Doctors say a growing number of so-called "cyclers" are teens who suffer from muscle dysmorphia, a body image disorder similar to anorexia in women. Young men with the disorder obsessively focus on their muscular appearance and, seeing themselves as weak, inject or pop steroid pills to get the chiseled physiques they imagine will make them as popular as a character from "The O.C."
How common steroid addiction is compared to the number of people who abuse the drugs is unclear. Because steroids aren't considered as serious a problem as alcohol, tobacco or marijuana, long-term research on the substances is scant.
While some doctors argue there is not strong evidence of steroid addiction among humans, others cite evidence that withdrawal symptoms can last up to six months or longer.
In a small 1991 study at the University of Michigan, 84 percent of participants reported some kind of withdrawal effects from steroids, says Brower.
"Common reaction was depressed mood, fatigue, trouble sleeping, decreased sex drive and the desire to take more steroids," he says.
'Star of the football team'
"The problem is steroids can make you the star of the football team," says Dr. Charles Yesalis, a Pennsylvania State University professor and expert in the field of steroid abuse who testified at the congressional hearings. "Here's a drug that can make you more popular, sexually attractive and can make you a winner."
Most competitive athletes experienced with steroids know not to go cold turkey, say doctors. But school athletes worried about getting tested or getting caught by their parents may not realize the risks of sudden withdrawal.
"Steroids are a controlled prescription drug, like a hardcore pain medication," says Dr. Jon Divine, director of the Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "It really takes close monitoring to get off the drug."
While abusing steroids, a person's own mechanism for making testosterone is suppressed, explains Dr. Rebecca Sokol, professor of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. The brain shuts off the stimulating hormones that prompt the male testes to make testosterone and sperm, and the person's mechanism for making testosterone shuts down.
"If they stop the drug suddenly, it's going to take a minimum of two to four weeks for their brain and testicles to kick back in and begin making their own testosterone."
Deflated muscles
One of the first noticeable effects of steroid withdrawal is deflated muscles, usually within three to four weeks.
For a person emotionally fixated on having the ideal physical appearance, "it can be a very powerful thing" to experience, says Dr. Tracy Olrich, a sports psychologist at Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant. "An adult can weather that storm, but for a 17-year-old or 18-year-old, it's very tough."
Getting off steroids can be hardest for those suffering from poor body image, says Yesalis. "They're so bothered by the loss of strength or loss of definition, they go back on them."
Users can slowly wean themselves off by using fertility hormones or synthetic pituitary hormones to supplement the lack of testosterone, level off depression symptoms and reduce fatigue, doctors say.
If symptoms of depression are severe, antidepressants can be prescribed, although antidepressant use by adolescents can also be risky.
"About three months after stopping is the highest risk period, but symptoms can go on longer," Brower says.

As you can see, the weather isn't as sunny as we wish it was. No in fact we get lucky to see a little bit of sunlight during lunch and then it is all gray during the whole evening and morning. However Lisbon is another story, the weather is gorgeous and it feels good to tan a bit on the sun : a good summer skin tone at any time of the year is one of my biggest dream. Yes i do get very pale skinned during cold seasons unfortunatly for me, so this little trip to the sun will only do me good.
You can imagine that these pictures were made in Switzerland, we shot them just before my departure. I decided to wear one of my favourite garment piece of the moment : this gray velvet Zara t-shirt that I paired with a long www.romwe.com platted bordeau skirt and some glitter miu miu for a bit of sparkles. I love this combination of gray and dark red, also the golden accessories and red lips to finish the whole look.

Not to much to brag about in the ways of new whiskies available in Norway in the month of March (sale start Saturday 7th). Only three new whiskies arrives this month, all on the "Blue list" – or the order assortement as it were, and all from the same distillery – Auchentoshan. The main reason is that Morrison-Bowmore has changed importers in Norway. Previously it was V&S Norway who imported Morrison-Bowmore's product, but with Pernod Ricard's purchase of the Swedish mother company this changed, so now the company Strom (InterBev/Altia) is the importer and putting some muscle behind the brand. This bring the total of Auchentoshans available in Norway up to 5 (the Three Wood is available at Vinmonopolet at the Select through most Duty Free stores). The going rate of exchange is 10,06 NOK to the £.
The new whiskies are:
Auchentoshan 12 Years (449,90 NOK/£44.54) is the first whisky out this month. This replaced the previous 10yo when the new packaging was introduced. A richer and more sherried expression this, with hints of spices following the light fruity notes. A clear improvement in my book, though it would probably have been even better with a bit higher abv (it's 40% abv). Not exactly cheap, but then again it's Norway – priced on the same level as JW Green, Balvenie 12yo DW, Glenfiddich 15yo Solera and The Glenlivet 15 French Oak.
Auchentoshan 18 Years (699,90 NOK/£69.61) is a grand example of a aged lowlander. Rich and spicy on the palate with a sherried tone coming through after a while – even though it's a 100% ex-bourbon maturation. Some very old casks have gone into this mix. Carries the extra 3% abv. compared to the 12yo very well (it's 43% abv.). Quite good value for Norway.
Auchentoshan 21 Years (900 NOK/£89.51) is a classic avec-whisky, to enjoy after a good (but not to spicy) meal. Pour a glass, sit down in a recliner, light a cigar og pipe and comtemplate over things that were, are and might be – or simply just drink the stuff. A great example of that Auchentoshan needs to age for quite a bit before reching it's potential, a world away from the Three Wood and the Classic. It's bottled at 43% abv. Pricewise it's about the same here in Norway as in Britain, even with the weak pound.

I got this idea from Larry Hall, who made a video showing how he uses gutters as self watering containers. In the first part of the video Larry shows how to use a gutter to supply water to a row of pots. In the second part he shows a two gutter strawberry growing system. I decided to build Hall's self-irrigating gutter (let's call it a SIG) to grow strawberries. Here's how I did it:
With some scrap wood I made a support system for the two gutters–one gutter holds water and the other holds soil. I sealed the ends of the two gutters with silicon putty and secured the gutters to the wooden support with screws.
Next came my first trip to a hydroponics shop (there's one on every corner in Los Angeles), to get a float valve. The float valve, similar to the one in your toilet, automatically fills the lower gutter with water as needed. I tried to fit the float valve through the end of the gutter but this kind of DIY bulkhead fitting is difficult to pull off. I ended up mounting the float valve above the gutter with a pipe strap, as you can see in the photo above. I cut the upper gutter around 10 inches shorter than the lower one so that I could access and maintain the float valve.
The second item I picked up at the hydroponics shop was a bunch of 3 inch mesh pots. These hang down into the lower gutter and wick water up into the soil. I cut circular holes in the upper gutter using a hole saw, and fit the mesh cups into the holes.
Next I filled the upper gutter with potting mix (note that with self watering containers you have to use potting mix, not regular soil). And all self watering containers need mulch of some kind–I just happened to have a roll of vinyl billboard material that my neighbor Ray gave me. I stapled the vinyl to the wooden gutter support and stretched it over the top of the soil. I cut holes and planted my strawberries about 8 inches apart.
The float valve is connected to a rainwater barrel. You can read more about how this barrel is constructed in one of our older posts. Since SIGs need to be watered even when it's raining, this is a perfect use for a rain barrel. I will have to fill the barrel with municipal water during our dry season.
There's a lot of plastic here, specifically PVC, which is an environmental and health disaster. I have two questions–how much PVC is leached into the growing medium and how much of it would be taken up into the fruit? I don't have an answer to either. If you know of science-based information (i.e. not Livestrong articles) on PVC and growing food please leave a link. Generally, plants do not take up toxins into fruit so I'm not losing any sleep thinking about eating a few strawberries grown in my small PVC SIG. I might think twice about eating greens grown in PVC.
The other issue is the use of peat moss as the growing medium. Peat moss is unsustainably harvested (see Horticulture professor Linda Chalker-Scott's article on this). Coconut coir, in my experience works great, but not in self watering containers. If you know of a peat moss alternative for self-watering containers, please comment.
There might also be mosquito problems with the standing water in the lower gutter. This could be countered with a mosquito dunk.
I can now grow food in an otherwise useless space–the top retaining wall in our front yard (we live on a hill). I can also, finally, make good use of my rain barrel. I was also able to recycle a bunch of scrap wood and some billboard material. And, unlike hydroponics, no electricity or liquid fertilizers are needed. If this system works out I'm eying the top of our garage for more SIGs (our garage is at street level below the house–we look down on it from our front porch).
I think there's also an opportunity for an entrepreneur to make a non-PVC version this gadget out of food grade material such as HDPE. With a custom design you could also enlarge the upper, soil container gutter as well as creating a sealed mosquito proof lower container. But you would have to sort out who owns the patent on self-watering containers.
And many thanks to Larry Hall for sharing this cool idea!
UPDATE 4/30/2013: One side of the strawberry gutter sprung a leak due to a poor seal on the end of the gutter. I was able to fix it. One thought about the design is that you should leave both ends open and the gutter ends accessible so that you can make repairs. And make sure to use a sealant appropriate for gutters.

U.S. stocks improved early Thursday after JPMorgan Chase kicked off earnings season by reporting better-than-expected profits and some good news on jobs and retail sales were released.
JPMorgan said its net income rose more than 10%, as the bank reported second-quarter earnings of $1.27 per share on revenue of $26.8 billion–which topped the Street consensus forecast of $1.22 EPS on $25 billion in revenue.
On Friday, Citibank plans to release earnings before the markets open. The average estimate of analysts is for profits to move up about 8% from the year-ago quarter. Over the past three months, the average estimate has moved down from $1.01 to $0.97.
U.S. banks have been facing tougher capital requirements, other new rules and weaker trading in the second quarter, say analysts such as Richard X. Bove of Rochdale Securities LLC.
Banks, though, won't sell shares to raise capital as their stock now trades below book value, Bove says, and thus have been shedding jobs. Bank of America, he says, is particularly undervalued.
Overall Outlook
In terms of overall corporate earnings and the markets, some analysts see a decidedly mixed picture. "In many ways, the second quarter of 2011 looks and feels similar to the same period last year," explained Nathan Behan of Prima Capital Holding in a report on the second quarter.
However, Behan points out, global growth–especially in the developed nations–has hit a "soft patch" after a good first quarter. Plus, the global political economy has "drastically changed from a year ago," with inflationary pressures coming to the fore.
"[C]ommodity prices are higher across the board year over year, though many cooled off during the second quarter," he said. "Absent a reversal in this trend, it will fall to business and individual consumption to drive growth in the second half of the year, an uneasy prospect at best."
The good news for many corporations is that they continue to have "exceptionally healthy balance sheets," Behan argues, and this gives them cash to support inventory or business expansion.
As for investors, higher commodity prices have portfolio manager bullish on the sector, Prima Capital analysts shared during a webinar late Wednesday. They are also upbeat on MLPs, but more as plays on energy consumption and transit, not energy prices (which remain volatile). In addition, they note that money managers are cautious on REITs, which have done well year to date.
Earnings Calendar
While JPMorgan and Citi are reporting their second-quarter earnings this week, big-bank rivals such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and BNY Mellon are set to share their recent performance news on July 19 before the markets open.
Charles Schwab releases its second-quarter results earlier in the week (on July 18). Later in the week, Raymond James Financial (July 20) and Morgan Stanley (July 21) will make their announcements on three-month results as of June 30.
Toward the end of the month, UBS (July 26), independent broker-dealer LPL Financial (July 27) and Ameriprise Financial (July 27) will give investors and the markets an update on their second-quarter performance. (Ameriprise's embattled broker-dealer Securities America–now up for sale–is expected to receive big news on its class-action settlement on July 25.)
Across the border, the Royal Bank of Canada, or RBC, won't report until the end of August, since it's on a different reporting schedule than most U.S. financial firms.

If I was to pick a colour that says, 'happy', it would be this.
Just lovely.
I love the idea of a black board at the front door! Hellooooooo!
We had a magical day at the Koala Park yesterday... apart from the heartbroken tears over the caged Kookaburra trying to be friends with a free Kookaburra. They couldn't get to each other, even though they tried and tried. Little one was so distressed about it all and wanted to speak to a ranger about getting the free one in, to keep the caged one company. Then there were mutterings of staging a jail break. He's like that. So different to his older brother. He's me.
I took a few photos of snake and koala hugging. They're over at instagram @thehouseofam. Katrina had to take my instagram widget off this here blog as it was evil and scheming and had serious bugs in it. So if your blog is playing up, check your instagram widget. Thank goodness for blog designers who know something about something! So hopefully you won't be redirected to spam sites anymore when you visit here. I'm moving to WordPress in a few weeks so there will be crickets here very soon. Hopefully everyone will follow me over there.
We heard from 'Japan boy' last night. His host family has checked them all in to a 'fancy' hotel, for the weekend. My boys love that word 'fancy'. They use it for everything.... "he drives a 'fancy' car, she was wearing 'fancy' clothes". Little one wrote back to say, "so glad everything is so 'fancy'". I laughed. He also wrote back, "I love you for all my tomorrows".... so poetic. My heart sort of skipped. He's missed him so much. So big son is in a 'fancy' hotel. He says he is chatting to the host children all the time, fluently Japanese. He says the father doesn't say much. He played Japanese soccer and took part in a traditional tea drinking ceremony and reckons he's going to start drinking tea when he gets home. Love it.
Love him. I am so grateful to have been able to give him this opportunity. I am so grateful. I think he is too. Experiences, education, manners, compassion, empathy, social conscience are what it's all about.... not things. 'The most important things in life are not things'. I think my boys get that. I hope they travel the world.
I'm waffling. Feeling pensive. Missing my boy. Psyching myself up for a run.
Have a great day!

Intellectual Property (IP) is the bedrock on which the development of new treatments and cures is built. IP is critical to improving patient care, spurring economic growth and strengthening an innovation economy. Without the protections of a strong, modern IP system, researchers may not have the ability to explore new areas of medical innovation and unearth the findings that will lead to the treatments and cures of tomorrow.
What is IP?
Intellectual Property protections are the laws that enable people and organizations to make the investments necessary to develop new technologies and to defend their proprietary inventions or products.
There are three key elements for an effective intellectual property system:
- Provide fair and effective incentives for innovation
- Provide innovators certainty regarding their rights
- Offer patent holders strong enforcement tools for defending infringed patents
Learn more about Intellectual Property at the Clinical Trials page.

The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund has endorsed D.C. Councilmember David Catania for mayor - even though he's not officially running yet.
Catania, who is gay, is exploring a possible mayoral bid. An independent, he would challenge the Democratic primary winner in the general election. The group has backed his previous campaigns and announced its endorsement Tuesday.
In the primary race, Mayor Vincent Gray has picked up a series of union endorsements, including most recently the D.C. Building Trades Council. However, the influential Metropolitan Washington AFL-CIO is taking no position on the mayor's race. President Jos Williams is urging affiliated unions to make their own endorsements, and some have already backed Gray.
Meanwhile, Councilmember Muriel Bowser picked up an endorsement Tuesday from EMILY's List, a national abortion-rights group.

New York Times on the Digital Humanities
On November 17th, the New York Times presented the first in a series of articles about the digital humanities. The first installment, written by Patricia Cohen, is "Digital Keys to the Humanities' Riches." The article includes interviews with several NEH project directors, including Dan Edelstein of Stanford University, who is one of the project directors of a Digging into Data Challenge grant called "Digging into the Enlightenment: Mapping the Republic of Letters." In fact, the Times also includes an excellent sidebar article which goes into some depth about the Enlightenment project that is tracing the social network of correspondence among key figures like Locke, Swift, and Voltaire by visualizing letters from the Electronic Enlightenment archive at Oxford University. This Digging into Data Challenge project is a partnership between Dan's team at Stanford, Robert McNamee's team at Oxford, and Chris Weaver's team at Oklahoma.
The article also features the Digital Mappaemundi project, funded by an NEH Start-Up Grant, that is studying medieval "maps of the world." This project is an interesting collaboration between medievalist Martin Foys (Drew University), computer scientist Shannon Bradshaw (Drew University), and art historian Asa Simon Mittmann (California State University, Chico).
Another NEH grantee featured in the Times piece is Tom Scheinfeldt, the managing director of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, who recently directed an ODH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities called "One Week | One Tool." In the article, Tom expresses his thoughts on digital humanities and describes the current age as a "methodological moment" during which new tools, techniques, and methods for scholarship are being developed in the wake of digital technology.
Peter Bajcsy, a research scientist at the National Center for Supercomputer Applications, is another Digging into Data Challenge grantee, co-directing the project "Digging into Image Data to Answer Authorship Related Questions." Peter, who works at the NCSA -- soon to be the home of Blue Waters, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world -- notes in the article that "the humanities and social sciences are the emerging domains for using high-performance computers."
There is also a terrific graphic from the "Jefferson's Travels" project, co-directed by Bill Ferster and Scot French of the University of Virginia.
Lastly, I'll note that the Times also posted a blog piece listing some of their favorite digital humanities projects, while encouraging commenters to add more. So if you have any favorites, you might want to let them know!

Call me a glutton for punishment, but since I have the almighty Kershaw Designs steel pinion I will probably go with the same setup in 2wd mode.
I'm also working on an alternative to the kershaw motor mount setup. Waiting on gears from fartofdoom. They will be the deciding factor on fitment. If everything works out, I should be able to save people $60-70 when trying to mount the leopard motor.
You should make a mount for the bigger 1/5 scale Leopard motor.
You talking bout the longer one?
I think it's the 5692-1090 KV or the 5692-750 KV
On the topic of a 2wd conversion - Are you planning on using a gyro?
The 5692 is 10mm longer than the 5682. The battery cups would be in the way. It would be tough to fit that length motor in there. As far as a gyro, no I will not run one. I have tried in the past with little to no success. I found the gyro to make corrections that were not to my liking.
I have had kind of mixed results with a gyro as well. I am currently experimenting with one and have found that at very high speeds you have to turn the gain down or it will over correct and wreck you. Also, just because you reduce your steering in the traxxas link does not mean the gyro follows suit. Totally independent.
The Annihilator....fastest XO-1 on planet Earth.
On my rustler I turned the gyro down to almost nothing and still didn't like it so I quit trying and ran without.
I believe you can get the 5682 with an 8mm shaft. I'm focusing on that motor because I know the length will fit.
Cool keep me posted. I am going to start sourcing parts for the same build I had before:
Castle XL2
8 pairs of 8 mm connectors
Castle Cap Pack
8 gauge wire
HighGear ESC Mount
Black dish XO-1 wheels/tires
Stock 34T pinion drilled to 6 or 8 mm
2 spare front bumpers
Check your pm's.
My XO-1 roller hasn't arrived yet and I couldn't find a buyer for the Slash so I ordered some parts and they arrived today. Debating on keeping this as a camera chase car for the XO-1.

Not on the XO-1. I haven't received the XO-1 roller yet so I am waiting for the seller to respond.
You paid with Paypal I hope.
He sold it.
You're way more patient than I am. I would have opened a case by now.
He's going to call the the post office tomorrow to find out what happened.
I have no luck with this XO-1 stuff. I still have not received the roller or a refund. His inbox is full now.
You need to call PayPal and get your money back. Rollers on eBay now for $199.
Still have not received my roller or a refund. Posted negative feedback here so none of you will have to deal with him:
Man I hate to hear that. Is paypal gonna refund your money?
Sorry man.. that Sux... Better get on top of Paypal ASAP
Refund is pending... my fingers are getting ready to order an XO-1 from Tower in three days!!!!!!
Good deal!
Maybe I won't be ordering it...
"An eCheck payment from xxxx xxxx was declined by the sender's bank. We will automatically try to process this payment again in 3 business days. It then usually takes 3-5 days for the money to be deposited into your account. Please do not ship items until you receive payment."
Dude, you have the worst luck. I think PayPal should cover the money and go ahead and refund you. It's not your fault at all.
I haven't had any luck with the XO-1. I think I am just going to take a break from it and spend time on my other hobbies.
Ah man, dont give up yet!
looks like i am the proud new owner of your old ride bringit.. I traded a super5 sc roller for it. bought the motor and esc off the guy. The thing that sucks is he was having problems with the cap bank shorting on the - neg side and re-soldered it touching the cap towards the end.. i found this out after i hooked up a 6s lipo to it and thought the thing was gonna disappear like a magician in a poof of smoke... lol i think all it did was blow the caps on the inside of the esc. luckily i go to itt tech for electical engineering and i may be able to have my program chair fix it. unless you still have a receipt layin around. i even got that garmin to work, and have a bag of your curb stomped parts. he rebuilt the car to like new condition. so here i sit with no dang esc.

Cool man. Not sure what was done to it after I sold it, but I don't have the receipt for the ESC as I bought all of that directly from Kershaw with cash in hand. Hope you get it up and running shortly and make some vids.
Refund on my XO-1 roller is pending until 7/11/13 now because the guy doesn't have enough funds...
Still some rollers on ebay for $199.

Face the Music
Marc Goldfuss founded Sigsaly Transmissions in 2007 as a way to express his devotion Electronic Body Music (EBM), a genre of music originating in the 1980s comprised of mechanized electronic punk sounds and also known as "Industrial" music.
Sigsaly Transmissions' first release, Machines Against Hunger, will contribute to the effort to end world hunger while simultaneously offering die-hard fans a wide variety of unreleased EBM, including major artists like Nohno (Dean Dennis of Clock DVA), PSYCHE, Modern Cubism (Side Project of Jean-Luc DeMeyer of Front 242) and The Weathermen. All profits from sales of this 2-CD compilation will be donated to Action Against Hunger.
Marc was first introduced to Action Against Hunger while watching Anderson Cooper 360, and he was immediately captivated by the discussion of ACF's efforts in Darfur. "I wanted to support this newly discovered cause through my love of electronic music," he said. Marc decided that Action Against Hunger could be united with the underground music fan base. This creative amalgamation would give EBM enthusiasts a chance to display their politically active attributes in an effort to move away from the dark, angry stereotypes associated with this group.
The project has successfully taken off with 34 bands from around the globe participating, including groups from Greece, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, Australia, Canada, and the United States. After more than a year of dedication and hard work, the CD is available for purchase on the Sigsaly Transmissions website at www.sigmedia.us, Amazon.com, various online retailers, and independent music stores worldwide.
Machines Against Hunger has a bright future with prospective advertisement on college music radios, a television spot, and an interested Hot Topic music buyer. The originality of Marc's idea has boosted people's interest in EBM and Action Against Hunger. The CD compilation is well on its way to becoming a smash hit in the underground and a lifesaver worldwide. Talk about impact!

Grace Lutheran book group
We are based at Grace Lutheran Church in Evanston and are a mixed-gender group.
We laugh a lot. When we were deciding whether to read "Loving Frank" (referring to architect Frank Lloyd Wright) by Nancy Horan, one man said, "I never did like Frank Sinatra."
One guy finished reading the book in the bathroom of the host.
Books we loved: "Out Stealing Horses" by Per Petterson, "Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout, "Atonement" by Ian McEwan, "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russell, "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, and "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger.
"Olive Kitteridge" was a favorite because Olive was awful and insensitive, like people we know in our own lives, yet she was also capable of great empathy.
We'd like to meet Petterson or Strout to ask how their characters come to life in their minds. Do they develop fully before the craft of writing begins, or do they take on a life of their own once the story is in process?
Up next: "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova.

How to Grow Rutabaga in Barksdale, Texas, United States of America
Rutabaga, known by this name only in the US, is called swede throughout the rest of the world. A member of the cabbage family, Brassica family, and sometimes confused with turnips despite noticeable differences. The rutabaga is larger, part white and part purple on the outside with an orange flesh color towards the stem. The turnip is white and has a purple top. The rutabaga is believed to have originated from a hybrid between the turnip and wild cabbage around the 17th century in what is today modern-day Czechoslovakia and Austria. Despite research done in the United States in the early 1900's proving that the rutabaga is a valuable source of energy it was not adopted by farmers because its production required more labor than other crops, making it a more expensive crop to produce. The rutabaga's value for livestock consumption as a forage crop was discovered only in the 1970's and was immediately adopted by farmers because it did not require any labor, was easy to grow and all parts of the plant were consumed by livestock - the root, the stem and the leaves. Rutabaga is a biennial plant, taking two years to complete its life cycle.

Use these images to know if your rutabaga is heading in the right direction and growing properly. Exact number of growing days varies for each rutabaga variety. Below is the average number of days for each stage gathered from many different varieties.
Rutabaga Germination Guide
(Stage 1: Germination)
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It is the first stage of the plant growing process and it begins when the seed is sown and ends when the radicale emerges out of the seed.
All seeds require proper soil temperature, moisture, air and light conditions to germinate successfully. However, during the germination stage the seeds require more soil warmth and moisture than light exposure.
Seeds respire just like any other living organism, requiring oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), so it is crucial to use a soil media that is sufficiently aerated so that the seeds do not "suffocate".
100% of our growing experts recommend to directly sow rutabaga seeds into the ground. What is direct sowing and why do I care about it?
Required germination period
5-10 days

Optimal plant spacing
6.8 inches / 17.3 cm
Optimal row spacing
17.4 inches / 44.2 cm
Rutabaga Growing Guide
(Stages 2-5: Growth)
Once seed has germinated and radicale has emerged the second stage of the plant growing process begins, developing from radicale to cotyledon -the embryonic first leaves of the seed forming a young seedling.
During the third stage of plant development cotyledon develops to 3-4 true leaves, stem begins to grow, becoming a mature seedling.
In the fourth stage the mature seedling develops to a young plant, ready for transplanting.
The fifth stage of plant development the plant is fully mature bearing fruit and/or flower.
The following guidelines apply to all of the rutabaga plants' needs during stages 2-5 from radicale emergence to full maturity. During these stages sunlight becomes a more active participant in plant growth and development than in the germination phase.
Soil pH is an important factor during these stages as well. What is pH and why is it important?
Required soil temp.
41.5º-85ºF / 5.3º-29.4ºC
Optimal soil temp.
60º-85ºF / 15.6º-29.4ºC

Optimal depth
0.6 inches / 1.5 cm
Optimal plant spacing
5.8 inches / 14.7 cm
Optimal row spacing
12.3 inches / 31.3 cm
How difficult is it to grow rutabaga?
Growing rutabaga, or any other vegetable for that matter, is not hard, however some plants require more attention and care than others depending on the following factors:
Are you starting to grow your plant from seed? seedling? young plant? Depending on what stage plant you choose to plant will impact growing difficulty and patience.
The length of the growing season for your exact garden location.
If you have a short growing season and you want to start growing from seed then you may need to start the growing process in a sheltered environment (greenhouse or inside your home) which will require more involvement in the growing process.
Whether you direct sow in the garden or start in trays and then transplant also affects the level of difficulty
Growing difficulty level - 0
Growing patience level - 0
Companion Planting Guide
What is companion planting?
Companion planting is intentional planting of two or more vegetables and/or flowers next to each other in order to positively impact plant health and yield

Casey named "Woman to Watch" in accounting field
Friday, August 23, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
A Pittsburg State University faculty member has been named to the "Women to Watch" list by the Kansas Society of Certified Public Accountants.
Becky Casey, chair of the accounting and computer information systems department at PSU's Kelce College of Business, is one of two recipients of the "Women to Watch" award in the Experienced Leader category. The other is Karen Linn, managing director of Berberich Trahan and Co. in Topeka.
The "Women to Watch" awards are given out by the Kansas Society of CPAs in conjunction with the American Institute of CPAs.
The Experienced Leader award goes those KSCPA /AICPA members who are in a higher level or leadership position within her organization, such as partner, owner, member, executive, elected official or appointee. Casey, who joined the Pitt State faculty in 2002 after 20 years' experience in the accounting industry, said she was pleasantly surprised by the recognition.
"It was a wonderful surprise to receive the nomination, and I am thrilled to have been selected by the previous recipients for the 2013 KSCPA/AICPA Women to Watch award," Casey said. "Thirty-five years ago, I fell in love with the field of accounting, and the passion still burns. It is truly an honor to be recognized by my peers as a leader in this field."
Dr. Paul Grimes, dean of the Kelce College of Business, said Casey "possesses all of the characteristics that exemplify the Women to Watch Award criteria."
"Throughout her career, Becky has distinguished herself as an outstanding accountant in both industry and academia," Grimes said. "Her passion for the accounting profession is evident to all of those who work with her."
There is also an Emerging Leader category of the "Women to Watch" award for those members who are "not yet in their highest level of advancement" but make contributions to the profession and her community. This year's recipients in that category are Chris Kibler, assistant general manager and director of finance at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, and Julie Wondra, manager at Adams Brown Beran & Ball, Chtd., in McPherson.

When Dr. Mehmet Oz hosted a segment on his TV show in February about counterfeit extra-virgin olive oil, he was mad. Dr. Oz told his audience that while he had long touted the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil, experts were now saying that most of the extra virgin olive oil (or EVOO) "that is sold worldwide is fake."
He said he felt duped, and went on to assert that the use of cheap, so-called "filler" oils in expensive EVOO could also be dangerous to those with nut allergies. He suggested that nut oils are among the oils used to stretch out the real stuff. "If you're allergic to nuts," he said, "and they used a nut oil that they added with your olive oil to cut it, to make it differently and save money, that's a big issue for a lot of folks."
Dr. Oz's statement caused a stir among some members of the food allergy community, both online and in e-mails to Allergic Living. Was the good doctor correct on the allergy point of the EVOO controversy? Allergic Living decided to do a reality check with Professor Dan Flynn, executive director of the University of California Davis Olive Center and one of the experts on the episode, whom Dr. Oz calls "the definitive expert on olive oil."
Flynn noted that his center tested 207 olive oils for purity over the past three years, and that 65 percent of the imported brands on grocery shelves in the United States didn't meet the standard for EVOO, despite being labeled as such.
But in our interview, Flynn did not agree with Dr. Oz's suggestion that some of these altered EVOO oils would include nut oils or that they would cause reactions. In fact, he thinks this is highly unlikely.
The professor says that in the olive center's testing to date of counterfeit EVOO brands, it appears only refined oils have been used. The process of refining an oil destroys or removes the proteins that trigger allergic reactions. While the extra virgin olive oil claim appears to be false on many oils, "if the oils were adulterated, it was probably with refined olive oil," Flynn explains.
Click here to see Allergic Living's coverage of the 2013 AAAAI allergists conference.
He notes that unrefined oils also tend to be more aromatic, and it would probably be easier for the average consumer to detect that something is afoul. One caution, however. Flynn says it is theoretically possible that an unrefined nut oil could be used to doctor an EVOO oil – but this wasn't the case in the many samples the UC Davis center tested.
Still, if you're dealing with a nut allergy and are concerned about an EVOO (or other oil) that you are using, in addition to checking the label, Allergic Living suggests contacting the manufacturer to inquire specifically about whether a product could include nut oils.
One thing Dr. Oz certainly didn't exaggerate was that many EVOO brands were tainted with lesser oils. The UC Davis center's trained testers also did a taste test. On the Dr. Oz show, Flynn noted that their descriptions of the fake EVOO oils included: "musty, waste pond, baby diaper, waxy, crayons, the kind of things you don't want to get near your salad bowl."
And as Dr. Oz summed up, "bad or rancid olive oil loses much of the anti-oxidant benefit, loses the anti-inflammatory benefit that I brag about all the time."

By Rabbi Dr. Noam Weinberg
I read Rabbi Edelstein's open letter to MK Rabbi Dov Lipman and immediately contacted Rabbi Lipman, who I consider a good friend. I wanted to verify that Rabbi Edelstein had reached out to Rabbi Lipman privately in his attempt to open a line of discourse which he describes as the goal of his open letter. Certainly, before writing a very public letter, one would assume that reaching out privately is an appropriate first step. To my shock, MK Lipman told me that Rabbi Edelstein did not attempt to reach out to him personally.
When I asked Rabbi Lipman if he read the open letter he replied: "Noam, while people are spending their time writing about how much I hate chareidim and want to destroy Torah, I am busy helping chareidim find jobs, helping chareidim receive training for jobs, and building programs in which they can serve the country without having to stop learning Torah and without having to give up any level of their spirituality. I simply don't have the time to read these columns, especially those that misquote me."
Is the attempt to build programs in which boys can be in yeshiva while serving in the army or national service really trying to force boys to leave yeshiva? There was criticism in the open letter regarding Lipman's inaugural address in the Knesset. For those who have not seen it, I recommend watching it and see for yourself how words might have been misconstrued:
In the speech, MK Lipman calls yeshiva boys to understand that they can be Torah scholars and fervently Orthodox while also learning basic general studies and going to work. Why isn't this the greatest chessed for them? Rabbi Lipman is the voice which is empowering the majority of chareidi boys who cannot study Torah day and night throughout their lives to remain chareidi, to remain within the Torah world, while receiving training to support their families with dignity. The true war against these boys is being waged by those who have misled them into believing that good boys study Torah day and night throughout their lives and boys who haven't "made it" go to the army or to work.
A recent article in the New York Times confirms what MK Rabbi Lipman has been repeating time and again – and does not agree that the thousands of chareidi boys are going to work as a result of the remarkable guidance of the Torah giants of our time.
The boys who leave yeshiva to go to work are made to feel like they are second class and this makes it difficult for them to remain chareidi. This leads to their failures in remaining committed to Torah and mitzvot in growing numbers. Hopefully, the efforts of MK Lipman and others will empower mainstream chareidim to remain committed to Torah study and adherence to halacha while earning a living.
I decided to do some research to see how Rabbi Lipman spends his time. The personal attacks against him that we have witnessed in the United States make it seem like he spends his time scheming to destroy Torah and distance the name of God.
Just a few minutes of research revealed the following. Among the things which appear in his schedule:
– A few times a week: speeches to secular students who visit the Knesset in which he implores them to respect those who observe Torah and mitzvot and calls for unity.
– Speeches to secular college students including in bars where he shares a similar message.
– Meetings with chareidi rabbis and young men regarding finding jobs, training for jobs, and fighting discrimination against chareidim in the work place.
– Writing laws which relate to core Jewish values such as not mistreating animals and obtaining united support for these laws from chareidi MK's to secular MK's.
Is this really someone who is out to destroy Torah and chareidim or perhaps someone who is brave and bold enough to openly address the burning issues of our time in an attempt to save Torah and the chareidi community.
