[9/18/07 UPDATE: WineM is no longer a sketch! It is a full-fledged working prototype. It made its debut at WIRED's NextFest in Los Angeles. We will have a complete product description here soon, but until then please feel free to contact us for more information. Thanks! – Tod and Mike]
WineM is a Technology Sketch of a smart wine rack. It's designed to locate wines in a wine rack using RFIDs attached to bottles and to display which wines have been located using LED backlights behind the bottles. Collectors (or anyone with a large wine cellar) can use it to search through collections, track the location of specific bottles and manage inventory with a minimum of data entry. Linking bottles to networked databases can provide information that would otherwise be too time consuming or difficult to obtain (for example, the total value of a collection, or all the wine that is ready to drink).
Wine comes in a bewildering amount of varieties, which are helpfully packaged in a standard set of bottle sizes. Thus, although storage is standardized, information about what's in the bottles becomes critical. However, getting access to that information is difficult. Some information about each wine is available on the label, but there is additional "metadata" about each varietal, vineyard, vintage and history that sommeliers and collectors often track solely through memorization or wine journals.
As in many other situations, new technology cannot replace people, but it may be able to harness some of the collected knowledge to provide a better experience for those who don't have the information at hand. Our goal in envisioning WineM was to make it easier for someone who owns more wine than they can keep track of to get more pleasure out of their collection – without hiring a sommelier or becoming one.
Wine racks, like other furniture, are typically stationary, large enough to include electronic hardware without changing their form, near power, and have a purpose outside of the technology, providing a working fallback use even if all the technology fails.
Wine collector profiles are similar to that of advanced technology buyers. Although wine drinkers (192K PDF) come from all walks of life, wine collectors (272K PDF) share many qualities (1.3MB PDF) with high technology buyers.
IntelliScanner's Wine Collector, and the eSommellier scanner and system already exist. Our goal with this sketch was to take the functionality of these systems and make them less focused on record-keeping, while using the capability of networked, open databases as much as possible. RFIDs provide a convenient identification and tracking solution, and RGB LEDs provide a good display system. Combining these two technologies can significantly increase the value of networked wine databases by putting the information about the bottles where the bottles actually are.
The core technology is an RFID reader that is installed in each of the cells in the wine rack. These readers identify what RFID, and thus what bottle, is in what cell, so that it can be located and managed. If a bottle is removed, the total valuation of the rack can be instantly decremented; if that bottle is put back, the value adjusts to its original value automatically. In this way, the focus stays on the wine, rather than the record-keeping. Each RFID is associated with a specific wine, and all the metadata that goes along with that wine (varietal, vintage, country, region, etc.) by scanning the UPC barcode on the side of the bottle and associating that barcode with the specific RFID. Not every bottle has a UPC barcode, but most do, as it's defined by the winery. Many UPC databases exist (free ones include UPC Database and UPC Wiki), which can help resolve the specifics of which wine is in the bottle, and then wine databases can be accessed with that information to get at the rest of the information (maybe by linking to the ISWN, though that standard does not seem to be in broad use).
As the video demonstrates, the process of associating a specific bottle with the networked database of information about it should be as straightforward as scanning the UPC and then linking the individual RFID sticker to that information. This is quite similar to what Nokia has been doing with their Near Field Communication project, which builds RFID readers into phones and presents RFIDs as stickers. The second major component of the sketch is the display of wine data directly on the bottles. Our design uses RGB LED lights in each cell, which can light up with different colors and brightness to reflect different information. For example, wines can be organized by region, with different LED colors representing different regions, as shown using the facet browser device depicted in the sketch:
WineM Interface Screenshot 1
Further refinement can isolate just a subset of wines, using light and color to focus attention, as in this display of just California wines:
WineM Interface Screenshot 2
This browsing allows us to treat the database of wine information as it is physically represented in the wine itself, keeping attention focused on the objects, rather than their data representations. As you're looking for a wine for dinner, WineM could publish a feed of your wine collection to a social networking service that identifies other people who have similar tastes.
As part of our product development process, ThingM creates Technology Sketches, which are examples of early stage conceptual approaches to how a product might work, rather than actual fully-functional systems. We believe in lightweight, agile, user-centered product development, which means that we focus on users' experiences first and technological details later. We prefer to explore ideas first without the constraints of technological limitations, before we create technologies to address those limitations. Our Technology Sketches document that process, the kinds of ideas we have, and how we develop them. We are continuing to develop the ideas and technologies at the core of WineM. The final product that uses those ideas may not resemble what is in the sketch, but the sketch will have been an important part of the development process, and one we share because we feel that others may benefit from it.
If you are interested in this technology sketch and would like to work with us to develop this technology further, please contact us.

Serious Entertaining: A Higgs Boson Discovery Party
Seasonal menu planning for the perfect dinner party.
The possible discovery of the Higgs Boson, which could mark the end to one of the longest searches in the history of science, is call for celebration. Right? Even if it's an impostor subatomic particle that they found, time to break out the party hats. But, first. What are we even celebrating? What is the Higgs Boson?
My favorite description is the "cosmic molasses," sort of an elemental goo that permeates space and binds the galaxy together and gives particles their mass. Translation: a pretty big deal in the world of physics (or maybe not?).
Higgs Bossam
This was the best Higgs Boson pun I could come up with. Bossam is a type of Korean lettuce wrap where you stuff the leaves with pork belly and kimchi. Momofuku's David Chang does his own contemporary spin on bossam where Bibb lettuce leaves are served with slow-cooked pork, ginger-scallion sauce, ssam sauce made with ssamjang (fermented bean and chili paste), and other toppings.
David Chang's Bossam recipe >>
Kimchi recipe >>
"Cosmic Molasses" Cookies
Back to that "cosmic molasses" description; my mind jumped to molasses cookies. As you pour the thick molasses into the cookie batter, just think about a similar manifestation that permeates a dark universe and imbues particles with mass. And when your brain hurts too much after thinking about this, just eat the cookie.
*Scratches Head*
This was a little too high-concept for a dinner party theme. It seemed like the obvious topic for today, more thrilling than "Serious Entertaining: The Day After July 4th." But, um...any other ideas? Eating quark cheese in honor of the quark particles that would otherwise be massless without Higgs Boson? Just a big Jell-O mold to represent mass?

Don Kirshner
The commercial genius who laid the foundation of American pop music.
From putting together dynamic songwriting teams to bringing bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd to the mainstream on his television show, Don Kirshner was the ultimate star-maker.
Don Kirshner was a music-industry impresario like no other.
His various roles included music publisher, music director, record-company executive and TV producer and host. Kirshner's protégé Neil Diamond declared, "The music business never had a better supporter." He started out writing songs and ad jingles with Bobby Darin. In 1958 Kirshner co-founded Aldon Music, the top music publisher of the Brill Building era, with partner Al Nevins. Kirshner had a knack for finding and nurturing talented songwriters and for matching songs with singers. Time magazine called Kirshner "the Man with the Golden Ear."
Songwriting teams that worked for Aldon included Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. He also published songs written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Burt Bacharach and Hal David and Jeff Barry. By 1962 there were eighteen songwriters on Aldon's payroll. Writers Greg Shaw and Dawn Eden described the Aldon office as "a beehive of activity, as more cubicles were added, each with its own standup piano and filled with a growing staff of young writers." Classics of the rock and roll era published by Kirshner include the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and the Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." He also ran several record labels—Dimension, Colpix, Colgems, Chairman, Calendar and Kirshner—scoring numerous hits during the girl-group era and, in the mid-Sixties, with the Monkees. Tony Orlando, who got his start with Kirshner, noted, "This is a man who created the cornerstones of American pop music as we know it today."
In 1963, Kirshner and Nevins sold Aldon Music to Columbia Pictures for $2 million. As part of the deal, Kirshner was made director of Screen Gems' music division. With the launching of The Monkees TV show in 1965, Kirshner assumed responsibility for the musical side of the project. He brought the group top-drawer material from his stable of songwriters. These included "I'm a Believer" (written by Neil Diamond), "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin) and "(Theme From) The Monkees" (written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart). But the Monkees rebelled against the control Kirshner exerted over their material and recording sessions. Guitarist Michael Nesmith famously punched a hole in the wall of a Beverly Hills hotel during a meeting with Kirshner, who was fired from the project in order to keep the Monkees happy. He subsequently sued and claimed to have received a huge settlement.
The music mogul moved on to the Archies, a cartoon-themed band whose recordings were made by anonymous session musicians, including vocalist Ron Dante. After his experience with the Monkees, Kirshner cracked, "I want a band that won't talk back." The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" held down the Number One spot on the pop chart for four weeks in 1969 and was the biggest song of the year.
In 1972, he worked on ABC's In Concert, and in 1973 he launched Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, a late-night live-music show that remained on the air for eight years. Kirshner brought acts as diverse as Billy Joel, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, KISS, the Sex Pistols and the Police into American living rooms. Hosting the show in a memorable monotone, Kirshner furthered the union of music and television while paving the way for the rise of rock videos. Don Kirshner's Rock Concert is regarded as a critical link between The Ed Sullivan Show and MTV. At the time of his death in 2011, Kirshner was launching Rockrena, an Internet-based talent finder.
"He was a seminal figure in the modern music business," said Hal David, chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, into which Kirshner was inducted in 2007. "His songwriting stable has been responsible for scores of classic hit songs over the years and up to the present day.
Inductee: Don Kirshner (music publisher, promoter and producer; born April 17, 1934, died January 17, 2011)

After posting, I received an e-mail from Johnathan, which said:
Mr. Baca,
I would just look at the actual entries for both baptisms. The year for one or the other was transcribed incorrectly. Her baptism shows a note that the page was torn.
It has happened before and will happen again....
Certainly, transcriptions can have errors. Therefore, yesterday I went to the Albuquerque Special Collections Library to look at the microfilm of the actual baptismal records. Epitacio's record is fairly clear; Dolores' was not. Below are images from the film (Archives of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, microfilm # 1930433.)
The first image is a close up of page 145 of the baptismal book. On the top of the page, you will find Epitacio's baptismal record. It does not indicate the year on this page, but previous pages show the year 1858 on top. They seem to follow an orderly monthly sequence that would make this record fall in the same year.
The record shows Epitacio was baptized on the "viente y siete dias de mayo", or the 27th of May, and that he was born four days previous. The record says that Epitacio is the "hijo leg. de Valentin Torres y Maria Josefa Ortiz", which translates to mean that he was the legitimate son of Valentin and Josefa. Click on the image below to get a larger view.
Below is the full page view of pages 145 and 146. Click on the image below to get a larger view.
Dolores Torres' baptismal record is very difficult to read. I looked over this one again and again. The dates are obscured to me. It does seem to read, though, that she was the "hija leg." of Valentin Torres and (illegible - although, it does look like it might read "Josefa Ortiz".) Her record is the third from the bottom. Click on the image for a larger view.
A full view of pages 133 and 134 shows a date on p. 134. That date is hard to read though. It appears to be "Ano 18??". 1858, or another date? Click on the image for a larger view.
One thing I noticed when I was researching this question is that the editors of "Bautismos San Miguel de Socorro" decided to put the baptisms in chronological order. Because they did this, they skip through pages of microfilm. For instance, Maria Dolores Torres, baptized 17 May 1858, is on page 133 of the microfilm; while Benito Chavez, baptized on 21 March 1858, is on page 139; and Abraham Lucero, baptized on 22 March 1858, is back on page 133. Although it is possible that the priest skipped pages when writting down the information, it does make me wonder if the records on page 133 were actually written a year before the ones on page 139.
I also looked at census records to see if they could help me. They just seemed to confuse the matter even more.
In a post back in November 2007, I posted an image of the 1900 Census record that showed Epitacio's family. Click on this link to see the image. Family and household # 288 shows Epitacio as being born on May 1859, not May 1858!
Yesterday, I pulled up an image from Ancestry.com of the Manuel Gallegos household in the 1900 Census. Although I'm not 100% sure that this is actually Maria Dolores Torres' family (It has them as Manuel G. and Maria D.), it does appear to be that family. This record shows "Maria D." as having a birth date of March 1856. The record also says that Manuel G. and Maria D. were married 26 years prior, which is about the right amount of time, figuring that the couple in question was married on 21 August 1873.

More research needs to be done before anything conclusive is determined. Once again, if anyone has anything to add to this discussion, either post a comment on my blog or send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Summer Language Institute 2012 Registration Open - Scholarships Available
Wed, February 15, 2012
The 2012 Summer Language Institute (SLI), coordinated through the Texas Language Center in the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin, gives students the opportunity to fulfill their 2-year foreign language requirement in just one summer! Courses in Italian as well as three less commonly taught languages—Czech, Vietnamese, and Yiddish—will be taught in a unique semi-immersion language learning environment by the award-winning language teaching staff at the University of Texas, leading scholars and researchers in language pedagogy, literature, cultural literacy, and area studies.
SLI students will live with their peers in dormitory language clusters on the UT-Austin campus, together with a native-speaker graduate Teaching Assistant to mentor them in their language development through daily study/practice sessions, homework help, and everyday interactions.
In addition to weekday classes, students will enjoy many cultural activities in their foreign language, including regional cooking demonstrations, game nights, scavenger hunts, movie nights, and lectures and arts presentations from native speakers and scholars on a wide variety of topics. Weekends and some weeknight evenings are open for enjoying other activities on campus and the rest of Austin.
This intensive "jumpstart" provides a solid and thorough foundation in the language basics, allowing future specialists to enroll in advanced classes that delve even deeper into the language and culture, future CEOs to tackle a non-linguistic degree from a global perspective, or high achievers who want to clear up their schedules to get out into the world that much faster.
The SLI's in-residence, intensive language instruction coupled with engaging cultural activities provides the next best thing to a study abroad experience without the expense and 10-hour flight!
The cost will be approximately $3,700 plus UT tuition for the 12 hours of credit. The SLI fees cover everything—dorm-style accommodations, meals, special language activities, in-residence graduate Teaching Assistants, practice sessions, and study halls. This is one of the best-priced 2-year language programs available. Registration is open and there will be partial scholarships for the first 40 students that confirm registration. Note the registration deadline is April 1, 2012 and spaces are limited.
The SLI will run from May 31 to August 13, 2012. More information about the 2012 SLI is available on the SLI website: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/insts/sli/ and during three online information sessions:
- Wednesday, January 18, 2012
- Monday, February 13, 2012
- Thursday, March 22, 2012
To attend one of the online information sessions, enter the URL https://meeting.austin.utexas.edu/sli-info/ in your web browser at 7 PM Central time. When the page displays, click "Enter as Guest," type the participant name you want to use, and then click the "Enter Room" button.

Apple developing new Mac for educationExclusive: Apple Computer is working feverishly on the design of a new Macintosh computer that the company hopes will strengthen its position in the education sector when it goes on sale later this year, AppleInsider has learned.
The new low-cost PC, which will act as a replacement for Apple\'s now defunct eMac line, appears to be on track to catch the latter half of the 2006 educational buying season.
Based on a series of proprietary checks, it\'s believed that the Cupertino, Calif.-based company is aligning component suppliers for a manufacturing ramp of the computers that it plans to initiate around the September timeframe.
Technically, this means that Apple\'s much anticipated professional line of Intel-based Power Mac computers —expected to make their debut this summer under the \"Mac Pro\" moniker —won\'t be the last of the company\'s PC offerings to make the transition from PowerPC to Intel chips.
In keeping true to its roots of designing educational Macs as plug-and-play solutions, people familiar with Apple\'s product roadmap say the company is building the new Mac around an all-in-one enclosure. Though unlike the eMac, which employed cumbersome CRT-based displays, the new educational computer will follow a design pattern similar to the company\'s LCD-based iMac Core Duo desktops, these people say.
The departure away from CRT displays and towards pricier flat-screens means that Apple will have to carefully balance its component costs and shave as much as possible off the computer\'s bill-of-materials if it plans to hit a home run with educational institutions.
Although the Mac maker said its U.S. educational channel sales increased by approximately 16 percent during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005, the company has come under tremendous competitive pressure in the sector over the last several years.
\"Uncertainty in this channel remains as several competitors of the company have either targeted or announced their intention to target the education market for personal computers, which could negatively affect the companys market share,\" Apple has repeatedly stated in regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. \"Although the company believes it has taken certain steps to strengthen its position in the education market, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to increase or maintain its share of the education market or execute profitably on large strategic arrangements.\"
But just as Apple\'s is expected to incur increased costs associated with transitioning its educational Mac to more modern technologies, the computer\'s new industrial design is expected to eliminate some of the financial complexities of the eMac. One of the pitfalls Apple discovered while building the unwieldy CRT-based Mac was that its bulbous enclosure quickly became one of —if not the most —expensive part of the computer to manufacturer.
In using its new iMac design as a blueprint for the eMac replacement, Apple will also save on freight and packaging costs that will result from the computer\'s substantially smaller footprint and lighter weight . It\'s also believed that the Mac will borrow industry standard components already employed by Apple\'s Mac mini and MacBook line of consumer PCs, enabling further cost reductions.
In April of 2004, the last time Apple introduced a major revision to the eMac, it priced models at $799 and $999. While pricing for the new educational Mac has yet to be determined, it should fall well below the company\'s low-end consumer iMac offering, which fetches $1299.
It\'s still unclear whether the computer will be made readily available for purchase by the average consumer.
When Apple introduced the eMac as a low-cost alternative to the flat-screen \"sunflower\" iMac in April 2002, it initially restricted sales to educational buyers. However, demand for the computers amongst consumers proved to be so strong that a month later the company made the educational Mac available to the general public.
On October 12, 2005, shortly before the computer met its ultimate demise, Apple once again restricted sales to educational institutions and returned to its \"E is for Education\" marketing scheme that had been attached to the product from its inception.
After exhausting much of its remaining eMac inventory to educational buyers later that year, Apple began offering its higher-margin all-in-one iMac as a replacement for the eMac. The company plans to continue to offer the iMac to its educational customers until the new Intel-based eMac successor makes its debut in the fall.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The driver of the bus in which a young Indian woman was gang-raped and fatally injured in December hanged himself in his jail cell on Monday, prison authorities said, but his family and lawyer said they suspected "foul play".
Ram Singh, the main accused in India's most high-profile criminal case, killed himself just before dawm in a cell he shared with three inmates in New Delhi's Tihar jail, prison spokesman Sunil Gupta said.
Singh fashioned a noose from threads torn from the mat he slept on and hanged himself from a grille in the ceiling before dawn. While there were closed circuit cameras throughout Tihar, India's highest-security prison, there were none in individual cells, Gupta said.
Gupta could not say how long it would have taken Singh to make the noose or how he had managed to loop it through the grille, which was eight feet above the floor. He may have stood on a plastic bucket, Indian media reported.
Singh's lawyer, V.K. Anand, said his client had been composed and calm when he spoke to him in court on Friday and "didn't have any complaints". Singh, who faced the death penalty if convicted of murder, had not been on suicide watch, Anand and Gupta said.
"I know he had a few complaints of jail authorities torturing him, but nothing that would make him take his own life. We can't rule out foul play. Nothing is adding up," Anand said.
Anand has previously always denied that his client was being maltreated in prison. He would not elaborate on the "torture".
Federal Home (Interior) Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde called the incident a "major lapse" in security and said an inquiry had been launched.
Police have described Singh as the ringleader of five men and a juvenile on trial for the December 16 attack on the 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist in the Indian capital. The assault triggered nationwide protests, a toughening of rape laws and an intense debate about rampant crime against women in India.
All six accused have pleaded not guilty to rape and murder.
The remaining five accused could try to use Singh's death to their advantage in the trial, said Supreme Court lawyer Ravi Kant.
"The others accused in this case will now take the opportunity to say that Ram Singh was the main conspirator and they were forced into it and as a result they can get lighter punishments," he said.
Singh's father cast doubt on the official version of events.
"He confessed about his mistake, then why would he commit suicide? He was prepared for any punishment the government would have given him," Mange Lal Singh said.
"Ram Singh did not commit suicide, he was murdered. He was first murdered and then his clothes were torn off to hang his corpse in his cell," he said.
Singh's mother cried uncontrollably and beat her chest as her husband helped her into an auto rickshaw in the Delhi slum where they live. "He left me," she said repeatedly. The parents were headed to a hospital to see their son's body.
The trial of the five adult men started last month while the juvenile's trial began last week. Ram Singh's brother Mukesh Singh, gym assistant Vinay Sharma, bus cleaner Akshay Kumar Singh and fruit vendor Pawan Kumar are the other men on trial.
Under Indian law, the juvenile cannot be named.
The attack generated headlines around the world, but the case has since largely disappeared from public view, in large part because authorities have barred reporting on the trial, which resumed in a fast-track court on Monday.
Police allege the six attacked the woman and a male companion on the bus as the couple returned home after watching a movie. The woman was repeatedly raped and tortured with a metal bar. The couple were also severely beaten before being thrown onto a road.
The woman died of internal injuries in a Singapore hospital two weeks later.
The police report used to charge the accused draws a picture of Ram Singh as the ringleader. On the night of December 16, the accused gathered at his house for dinner, where he came up with the plan of taking the bus out to look for a victim to rape, the report said.
The police say they found him sitting in the blood-stained school bus, wearing a bloodied tee-shirt, the morning after the crime. A DNA test revealed that the blood belonged to the rape victim, the report said.
The physiotherapist's brother said he was "not very thrilled with the news that he killed himself because I wanted him to be hanged ... publicly."
"Him dying on his own terms seems unfair. But, oh well, one is down. Hopefully the rest will wait for their death sentence."

text: Credit risk has received much attention in the academic literature. The bulk of the work has focused on theoretical valuation issues. There is far less research on the empirical side. Nearly all of the empirical work investigating credit risk has focused on the bond market. The main approach was to explain the determinants and the dynamics of the credit spread, hence the difference between the yield on a bond of a risky counterparty and a government bond. Government and corporate bonds differ in a variety of ways, which makes the credit spread an imperfect proxy for credit risk. Some of the issues are addressed in Duffee (1998).

When installing PVC conduit or RTRC as an approved wiring method in an underground installation to supply a gasoline dispensing device at a gas station, which statement is true?
A. The conduit(s) must be installed with 24 in. of cover over the top of the concrete, which covers the conduit.
B. The conduit(s) must be installed with 24 in. of cover over the top of the conduit.
C. The conduit(s) must be covered by at least 2 in. of concrete
D. Where entering or emerging from the ground, the wiring method must remain the same. A change to another type, such as rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) is not permitted.
Answer: B
There is no Code requirement to encase the conduit in concrete or place concrete directly over the conduit(s). The NEC simply calls for a minimum cover of 24 in. over the conduit(s). See Section 514.8 in the 2011 NEC.

Native Instruments TRAKTOR PRO and TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO – the next versions of its groundbreaking digital DJ solutions with MIDI and time-code control. TRAKTOR PRO and TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO were designed with a strong focus on efficiency and ease-of-use, making them outstanding performance tools for DJs of all styles and experience levels. With four full-featured decks and sound shaping and MIDI control options, the new Traktor Scratch Pro combines the full-featured Traktor Pro software with the acclaimed AUDIO 8 DJ interface and a set of high-resolution time-code records and CDs for extremely responsive hands-on control through turntables and CD decks.
Traktor Pro introduces a new graphical user interface that features a new efficient workflow. The concise, completely scalable screen layout with clear, high-contrast elements results in an interface that is highly convenient to work with under all conditions.
All crucial performance functions like cueing and looping have been revised and refined in Traktor Pro for fast and intuitive handling in a performance situation, while extensive cover artwork support including the innovative "Crate Flick" feature allows DJs to visually browse their music library in a new and especially efficient way.
Advanced syncing functions in Traktor Pro give DJs more time to focus on the creative aspects of their performance. Precise beat grids are now created automatically for all tracks, and the "Sync Lock" function makes sure that even multiple decks and tempo-synced effects never drift out of sync. New "quantized navigation" also allows DJs to seamlessly jump between loops, cue points or any other part of a track without missing a beat, offering huge potential for the spontaneous rearranging of entire tracks, beatjuggling and similar techniques.
Traktor Pro also opens up vast new possibilities for creative sound manipulation, with a powerful performance effects section that is both extremely versatile and highly accessible. Two separate multi-effect units offer more than twenty studio-quality algorithms, from a full range of standard DJ effects to a wide selection of unusual effect types like "Mulholland Drive", "Iceverb" and "Reverse Grain" that can easily add a unique sonic twist to every set. Up to six effects can be chained and freely assigned to any number of decks at any time, and can be effortlessly synced to tempo in all circumstances.
To give DJs the maximum level of control over their performance, Traktor Pro offers state-of-the-art MIDI controller integration, and comes with mappings for all relevant DJ controllers on the market. New "MIDI modifier" functionality provides even finer performance control, allowing for dynamic and multi-layered knob and fader assignments, on-the-fly adjustments of parameter resolution and much more. Furthermore, new extended MIDI sync features make it easy to seamlessly integrate outboard gear like drum machines and software sequencers into the mix.
With the new generation of Traktor Pro, the integration with the leading dance music download store Beatport will also be taken to the next level. Starting in 2009, all new releases on Beatport will come with TRAKTOR metadata, enabling DJs to add newly purchased tracks to their collection without any additional preparation time. (Native Instruments has an equity position in Beatport –Ed.)
On the occasion, Native Instruments is also launching a series of videos that feature Hip Hop legend Grandmaster Flash and techno icon Richie Hawtin in conversations about their personal perspectives on music, DJing and technology. The first episodes are available now on the dedicated TRAKTOR PRO microsite, with further installments scheduled for release in the coming weeks.
Further improvements in TRAKTOR PRO and TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO include incremental track search, portable collection and setting files, dedicated key correction and filter sections for each deck, an included library of loops, FX sounds and scratch files as well as full compatibility with the latest 64-bit Mac OS X and Windows operating systems.

Here of late (don't ask me why) but I'm crazy about alabaster. I can't get over how beautiful it is. This quarried stone can be costly, but I've been lucky enough to run across some pieces that were perfectly imperfect ~ making them more affordable. Here are a few of my favorites.
The alabaster bowl (above) stands lovely by itself but I also use it for a fruit bowl.
In spite of their imperfections (although unnoticeable in these photos) I still find the alabaster pieces to be stunning. This photo says calm and serene to me.
The candle holder above came from the thrift store for a couple of bucks. It seemed oddly appropriate that I pair it with this pear candle that I found on clearance here.
I'm on the search for more pretty alabaster finds. Wishful thinking...I hope to find a couple of vintage lamps...someday. :)
Just an FYI ~ I've had a little hiccup with my camera (the one I usually shoot photos for the blog with). The shutter hasn't been opening all the way. So, it had to be shipped off to New York for repair. The pics today, were with my iPhone. All things considering, I think they turned out pretty good.
I hope to see you back here soon. Have a super week! :) Dana

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You're playing the game, you're fighting the bosses, you know the how -- but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
Every zone in the old world was touched by Deathwing's emergence, and with the changes came new lore and storylines. One of the more poignant tales of new Azeroth comes from Tirisfal Glades, where newly raised Forsaken soldiers struggle to come to terms with their fate. Before the fall of the Lich King, every "newborn" Forsaken was raised from former members of the Scourge that had broken free from the control of the Lich King.
However, after the fall of the Lich King, the Forsaken were left without a way to create new Forsaken. Having lost countless Forsaken soldiers in the Northrend war, Sylvanas Windrunner sought out the val'kyr, former servants of the Lich King. The val'kyr had a very special talent -- they could raise the dead to life. Thus, Sylvanas had a way to create new Forsaken soldiers out of any corpses that happened to be handy.
The only drawback to this process was that one never knew how the awakened corpses would react. While some eagerly joined the ranks of the Forsaken, others were far too tied to their former lives to accept their fate. One of these newly minted undead was a woman named Lilian Voss, whose former life was unique to say the least. Lilian was a member of the Scarlet Crusade.

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You're playing the game, you're fighting the bosses, you know the how -- but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
In the guise of Dathrohan, Balnazzar quietly worked to warp and twist the minds of those under his command, tricking Renault Mograine into killing his own father and thus paving the way for Balnazzar's ascension to power. Once Highlord Mograine was dead, "Dathrohan" prompted the formation of the Scarlet Crusade, an organization dedicated to the eradication of the undead.
But why was Balnazzar so obsessed with eliminating the undead? There were a couple of reasons behind this. The Lich King originally formed the Scourge under the orders of the Burning Legion. When Arthas came into the picture and began his service to the Lich King in earnest, he told Balnazzar and his two brothers, Detheroc and Varimathras, in no uncertain terms that the Lich King would no longer be following the orders of the Burning Legion, and he attempted to have the dreadlords killed.
Balnazzar "died" but came back -- his hatred for both Arthas and his infernal scourge, and the Banshee Queen that made a fool of him burning bright and hot. And so he organized the events that brought together the Scarlet Crusade. After all, the humans were easily manipulated, and whether they killed Scourge or Forsaken, it mattered little; his enemies would be taken care of either way. And so the Scarlet Crusade continued its campaign of terror, mindlessly killing both living and dead, any that happened to cross its path in the upper reaches of the Plaguelands.
To the Scarlet Crusade, anyone and everyone who wasn't a member of the cause was a potential carrier of the plague or undead in disguise. After all, nobody in their right mind would idly wander through the plaguelands unless they were somehow in league with the Scourge. Balnazzar's slow and deliberate brainwashing of the group had its intended affect, and the Scarlet Crusade unknowingly followed the dreadlord's plans. They were fighting for the noblest of causes, and as far as they were concerned, the end result completely justified the means of getting that result, even if innocent blood was shed along the way.
But the Scarlet Crusade's reign could only last so long, and over the course of the Northrend wars, leadership within the Scarlet Crusade crumbled. Balnazzar was revealed, as was Mal'Ganis, and the senior leadership of the organization was slowly eliminated. With the Lich King's defeat, the Scarlet Crusade had nowhere to go, and many soldiers of the organization fell in the ensuing battle with the Forsaken -- including a young woman named Lilian Voss.
Faced with her own horrifying reflection, Lilian fled, unwilling to accept or understand what had become of her. She sought out her father, a high priest of the Scarlet Crusade named Benedictus Voss. If no one else would help her, surely her father would know what to do. But before she could find her father, Lilian was captured by a group of Scarlet Crusade nearby. Though she told them who she was, the soldiers had no idea what to do with the young woman and kept her locked away while news of her fate was sent to the high priest.
High Priest Voss knew exactly what to do when confronted with news of his undead daughter. He ordered her immediate execution. Needless to say, the news did not go over well with Lilian, and in an astonishing display of power, she burst into violet flame, leapt through the bars of the cage that held her and incinerated her captor.
Something in Lilian Voss snapped. Scourge she may not be, but a lethal killing machine -- well, it was what she was raised to be. Her father's betrayal affected her deeply, and at once the innate callousness of the Scarlet Crusade was brought to light. Confronted with the realization that she would find no comfort in the arms of her father, Lilian chose instead to continue down the path her father had pushed her down since she was a child: murder. Murder without consideration or care for those who fell beneath the onslaught of violet fire.Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: The time has come, my little captive ... word has come back from your father.
Lilian Voss says: Gebler, you came! What did he say?
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: High Priest Voss denounces you as a daughter. He's ordered that you be executed immediately.
Lilian Voss says: What? NO! This can't be! Gebler, you know me ... we were friends once!
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: The High Priest sends his regrets. He had hoped that one day you would be a powerful weapon against our enemies.
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: Unfortunately, you were too dangerous in life, and you're far too dangerous in undeath. I will enjoy killing you, you Scourged witch ...
Lilian Voss says: Gebler, father, why would you ...
Gelber attempts to kill Lilian, but she leaps through the bars, killing him.
Lilian Voss says: The world of the living may have turned its back on me, but I'm no damned Scourge.
All across Tirisfal Glades, the alert was raised by the Scarlet Crusade: The High Priest's daughter was a menace that needed to be destroyed, quickly. But Lilian had been trained by the very people she now killed. She knew their methods of fighting. Between her knowledge, her rage, and the mysterious fire that engulfed both her and her enemies, she left a trail of crimson-clad bodies wherever she traveled. It seemed there would be no reasoning with or stopping her.An Urgent Message to all Scarlet Officers and Enlistees:
The Scourge agent known as Lilian Voss has escaped from her captivity at the Scarlet Palisade. She is to be considered highly dangerous, and should be killed on sight. She has already slain 15 of our men. None were left wounded.
Do NOT try to apprehend her. Doing so will likely result in death. She is an enemy to the Crusade and must be crushed immediately.
The crusader who returns her head to the High Priest will be rewarded with 1,000 gold. Refer any questions to your commanding officer.
Having come to the inevitable conclusion that there was no going back, Lilian approached High Executor Derrington at the Bulwark in Tirisfal. While she didn't swear fealty to the Forsaken, she was quick to swear her enmity against the Scarlet Crusade. The High Executor appreciated her odd eagerness for bloodshed and sent her to take care of one of the few remaining Scarlet outposts to the north. A trail of violet-flamed bodies followed in her wake as she relentlessly continued to eradicate those who betrayed her.
As Lilian made her way to the tower, mechanically ripping apart any Scarlet who stood in her way, her mind was set on one thing, and one alone: Lilian wished to see her father and say hello.My name is Lilian Voss. Before I died, I was a member of the Scarlet Crusade. My father, High Priest Voss, raised me to be a weapon against the plagued. I studied stealth, sorcery, martial arts, anything to make myself stronger. I gave up my childhood for him.
Then, as fate would have it, I died and returned as... this. My father instantly forgot me and, when I returned, ordered me executed.
Come. We will speak with him now, in his tower to the northwest.
Lilian Voss embraced her father one final time -- around the neck. Scaling the walls of his tower, she strangled the life from the man, then threw his corpse to the ground with nary a word. While her brutal and unusual attacks caused other Scarlet Crusaders to burst into flame, she curiously avoided doing so with her father, instead letting him feel the life being squeezed from him by his loving daughter's cold, dead hands. And after it was over, Lilian stepped from the tower and vanished.Lilian Voss says: Father!
High Priest Benedictus Voss says: Lilian ... you're ... it's so nice to see you well.
Lilian Voss says: Shut up.
Lilian jumps on the Scarlet Bodyguard and Captain Melrache, killing them instantly.
Lilian Voss says: You raised me to be a killer. How am I doing, daddy?
High Priest Benedictus Voss says: I, ah ...
Lilian Voss says: But wait ... I remember now. You taught me to only kill the undead. So you do want me to kill myself, daddy?
High Priest Benedictus Voss says: Lilian, I ...
Lilian Voss says: Then again, why kill myself ... when I can kill YOU instead!
Nobody has seen Lilian Voss since that day. Her strange powers, the violet flames that engulfed her body and consumed those she fought have never been seen in a Forsaken before. Was it her unusual heritage, her upbringing in the Scarlet Crusade that brought it about? Was it Lilian's twisted version of the holy fire the Crusaders used in their fight against the undead? Nobody really knows. Will we ever see her again? It's possible -- her unique talents make her just the type of weapon the Forsaken would like to have in their control.
Some speculate that Lilian Voss would be an ideal person to lead the Forsaken, should something happen to Sylvanas Windrunner. But what they fail to realize is that Lilian would never fully ally herself with the Forsaken; to her, she is outside of life, outside of death, and utterly alone. Lilian isn't quite sane; her steadfast pursuit of the Scarlet Crusade borders on insanity, and her life in undeath is dedicated to other, more pressing tasks.

Industries Environmental Documents
Final Environmental Impact Statement for Relicensing of the South Feather Power (Project No. 2088-068)
Issued: June 4, 2009
Commission staff prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for relicensing of South Feather Water and Power Agency's (South Feather's) 117-megawatt South Feather Power Project, located on the South Fork Feather River, Lost Creek, and Slate Creek, in Butte, Yuba, and Plumas counties, California. The project generates an annual average of 498,972 MWh of electricity and occupies 1,977.12 acres of federal lands administered by the Plumas National Forest and 10.57 acres of federal lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
The project is a water supply/power project composed of four hydroelectric developments: Sly Creek, Woodleaf, Forbestown, and Kelly Ridge. South Feather proposes no capacity or operating changes, but does propose measures for the protection and enhancement of environmental resources including increased minimum flows, measures to improve aquatic habitat and protect sensitive species, and measures to maintain and enhance existing recreation opportunities and provide new whitewater boating opportunities.
In this FEIS, Commission staff assessed the environmental and economic effects of:
- Continuing to operate the project with no changes or enhancements (no-action alternative);
- Operating the project as proposed by South Feather;
- Operating the project as proposed by South Feather with additional or modified environmental measures (staff alternative); and
- Staff alternative with conditions filed by the Departments of the Agriculture and Commerce.
The FEIS also addresses comments of agencies, NGOs and the public on the Draft EIS.
Based on our detailed analysis of the environmental benefits and costs associated with the three action alternatives considered in detail in the FEIS, we conclude that the best alternative for the South Feather Power Project would be to issue a new license consistent with the environmental measures specified in the Staff Alternative.

Fluocinolone Topical
(floo oh sin' oh lone)
Brand Name(s):
- Capex®Shampoo
- Derma-Smoothe/FS®
- Dermotic®
- Fluocet®¶
- Fluonid®¶
- Fluotrex®¶
- Synalar®
- Tri-Luma®(as a combination product containing Fluocinolone, Hydroquinone, and Tretinoin)
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Fluocinolone is used to treat the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin conditions.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Fluocinolone comes in ointment, cream, solution, shampoo, and oil in various strengths for use on the skin. It usually is applied two to four times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use fluocinolone exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Do not apply it to other areas of your body or wrap or bandage the treated area unless directed to do so by your doctor.
Wash or soak the affected area thoroughly before applying the medicine, unless it irritates your skin. Then apply the ointment, cream, solution, or oil sparingly in a thin film and rub it in gently.
Use the shampoo as you would any normal shampoo. Wet your hair and scalp. Apply the shampoo and gently massage the scalp. Rinse with water.
To use a solution on your scalp, part your hair, apply a small amount of the medicine on the affected area, and rub it in gently. Protect the area from washing and rubbing until the solution dries. You may wash your hair as usual but not right after applying the medicine.
Avoid prolonged use on the face, in the genital and rectal areas, and in skin creases and armpits unless directed by your doctor.
If you are using fluocinolone on your face, keep it out of your eyes.
If you are using fluocinolone on a child's diaper area, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants. Such use may increase side effects.
Do not apply cosmetics or other skin preparations on the treated area without talking with your doctor.
If your doctor tells you to wrap or bandage the treated area, follow these instructions:
- Soak the area in water or wash it well.
- While the skin is moist, gently rub the medication into the affected areas.
- Cover the area with plastic wrap (such as Saran Wrap or Handi-Wrap). The plastic may be held in place with a gauze or elastic bandage or adhesive tape on normal skin beside the treated area. (Instead of using plastic wrap, plastic gloves may be used for the hands, plastic bags for the feet, or a shower cap for the scalp.)
- Carefully seal the edges of the plastic to make sure the wrap adheres closely to the skin. If the affected area is moist, you can leave the edges of the plastic wrap partly unsealed or puncture the wrap to allow excess moisture to escape.
- Leave the plastic wrapping in place as long as directed by your doctor. Usually wraps are left in place no more than 12 hours each day.
- Cleanse the skin and reapply the medication each time a new plastic wrapping is applied. Call your doctor if the treated area gets worse or if burning, swelling, redness, or oozing of pus develops.
Do not discontinue treatment abruptly without talking to your doctor.
What SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS should I follow?
Before using fluocinolone,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to fluocinolone or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially cancer chemotherapy agents, other topical medications, and vitamins.
- tell your doctor if you have an infection or have ever had diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, a circulation disorder, or an immune disorder.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while using fluocinolone, call your doctor immediately.
What should I do IF I FORGET to take a dose?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause?
Fluocinolone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- drying or cracking of the skin
- acne
- itching
- burning
- change in skin color
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- severe skin rash
- difficulty breathing or swallowing
- wheezing
- skin infection (redness, swelling, or oozing pus)
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
What should I know about STORAGE and DISPOSAL of this medication?
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat. Do not allow it to freeze. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Do not use it to treat other skin conditions. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.

Ukraine's poor military can only hope it never has to fight Russia
Understanding the depths of the crisis Ukraine faces today takes only a visit to historic St. Volodymyr's Cathedral.
There, beneath distinctive blue and gold onion domes, as the cathedral's patriarch prays for "calm and security for all Ukraine," parishioners peel away to visit two donation boxes. Each box is labeled. One is "For the church" while the other is "To support our armed forces." On a recent night, parishioners typically slid folded bills into each.
Boxes urging support for Ukraine's armed forces can be found seemingly everywhere: in shops, along Kiev's Independence Square, or Maidan, and in thousands of other spots around the country. In the past month, they've gathered about 116 million Ukrainian hryvnia, or $10 million.
In the scheme of a modern military, that amounts to pennies. But Adm. Ihor Kabanenko, Ukraine's deputy minister of defense, used a news conference this week to express the gratitude of a traditionally woefully underfunded military.
"The money will be used to support our forces, with equipment and ammunition, uniforms and provisions," Kabanenko said. "It has been a great help."
For nations with robust military budgets, where national security is a high priority year after year, it seems odd that Ukraine's military has to go begging just to afford bullets during a time of crisis. But to those who study the military here, there's no surprise.
It's one reason President Barack Obama, in assessing the situation in Ukraine, recently said in Manila, Philippines, that the push by some members of Congress for more military aid to Ukraine made no sense.
"Do people actually think that somehow us sending some additional arms into Ukraine could potentially deter the Russian army?" he said, arguing that sanctions were more likely to discourage Russian aggression.
Military experts note that Ukraine's list of needs presented to NATO in the standoff with Russia contained not only basic military items such as helmets, body armor and field radios but also camouflaged netting, tents, sleeping bags and ground cover tarps.
"The NATO response was 'Are you really so poor as this?' " said Serhiy Zhurets, the director of the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies, a research center in Kiev, and a longtime top adviser to the Ukrainian military. "The answer was yes. It still is yes; the situation isn't getting better."
How bad is it? Only 1 in 10 Ukrainian troops staring across the border at Russia are protected by body armor. The country has lost at least three helicopters trying to take a better look at the setup of pro-Russian militias and can't afford to replace a single one. Zhurets said that outside of a U.S. donation of 300,000 meals ready to eat, nobody has offered much help.
Anton Mikhnenko, the editor of Defense Express, a Ukrainian defense magazine, said the numbers were easily interpreted. The Ukrainian military has come up with a budget plan in recent years to modernize _ either repair or replace _ the creaking Soviet weapons and machinery it relies on that calls for about 131 billion hryvnia a year, about $11.3 billion.
Parliament, reasoning last year that Ukraine faces no threats from the outside, allocated just 15.6 billion hryvnia _ $1.3 billion. In previous years, it had been as low as 9 billion hryvnia.
For comparison's sake, in 2011 the U.S. military spent more than $700 billion. Ukraine's neighbor Poland has recent defense budgets of about $10 billion. Russia's defense budget is about $75 billion.
"We have old weapons and soldiers in need of better training," Mikhnenko said. "It's simple: We need more money. We do today, and we have for years."
Dmytro Tymchuk, the director of Ukraine's Center for Military and Political Research and the most widely quoted military expert on the conflict with Russia, said the state of the Ukrainian military was so bad that it couldn't even afford to take some of the help it needed.
For instance, he said there was a widely accepted notion that Ukraine would like drones. Ukraine has lost three helicopters and had one pilot and one crew member killed on surveillance missions over the locations of pro-Russia separatists.
"Drones would mean we wouldn't have to put our people at risk," Tymchuk said. "But we don't have anyone with the training to fly the drone. Do we ask the United States to loan us drone pilots, have them be involved if a war with Russia erupts, and thus start World War III? Of course not."
Ukraine does own one drone, but it's never flown, and no one is trained to operate it.
When the situation became critical in March, it was hardly news to those who work in and around the military. Ihor Teniukh, once the chief commander of the Ukrainian navy and in February and March the ill-fated minister of defense who held the spot when Russia occupied and then annexed Crimea without serious resistance, had tried to raise the alarm last year, writing that a plan for a "large-scale downsizing of the military" was dangerous.
Some experts are convinced that beyond a policy to "avoid spilling first blood and give Russia an excuse for further action" when Russian forces fanned out across Crimea in March, the military didn't react because the military couldn't react. The country's tanks, trucks, jets and ships were in such bad repair that many weren't operational. When the equipment was working, the troops didn't have enough training to operate it or couldn't find the necessary fuel to start the engines.
The country also had no defensive line between Crimea, now part of Russia, and the rest of Ukraine. "If we'd started shooting Russians in Crimea in March, their tanks would be in Kiev today," Kabanenko said.
Last autumn, Leonid Poliakov, an expert at the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies, wrote an article for the publication The Ukrainian Week that addressed the military situation. While other experts had voiced concerns about Russia's military buildup, he focused directly on the problem growing in Ukraine.
"Weaponry and machinery are undeniably important, but there is no point in them without the due moral and psychological condition of the military as an important indicator of battle-readiness," he wrote. "The moral and psychological condition is below poor. Why? Because servicemen don't believe that the state, commanders, let alone the government, need them. The parliament which does not want to finance their needs doesn't need them either. How much does the government plan to spend on housing for the military? Nothing. What else can be said?"

Earlier: Ryan's Washington problem
Flipping burgers at McDonald's, steering the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, slinging cheap margaritas, and toning abs and pecs.
That's about the extent of Rep. Paul Ryan's private sector experience.
Story Continued Below
For all the talk about how the young vice-presidential prospect's budget blueprint would pose a political risk to Mitt Romney, there's been little mention about how his résumé would so glaringly clash with the message of the GOP nominee-in-waiting.
But as the Ryan-for-veep buzz grows louder some of his rivals are pointing out that it may seem discordant for Romney to choose someone whose adult work experience comes almost completely in the worlds of government and politics.
( Also on POLITICO: Mitt VP: 'All signs point to Ryan')
The centerpiece of the CEO-turned-Massachusetts governor's campaign has been that, in a time of 8-percent-plus unemployment, his businessman's touch is what's needed in Washington to revive the economy.
"I happen to believe that having been in the private sector for 25 years gives me a perspective on how jobs are created — that someone who's never spent a day in the private sector, like President Obama, simply doesn't understand," Romney told Time magazine earlier this year.
( Also on POLITICO: Ryan veep prospects split GOP)
What's more, Romney makes much on of not being a career politician or ever serving in Washington (ignoring, of course, that he could have been in the Senate for nearly two decades had he defeated Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy in 1994).
Yet Ryan, 42, has spent the bulk of his career in the capital. The House Budget Committee chairman has been in Congress since he was 28 and before that did stints as a congressional staffer and at the late Jack Kemp's think tank, Empower America.
And the very small but influential constituency that's now promoting Ryan hails from the same orbit of GOP thinkers and politicians asRyan.
More than one Republican wise guy noticed the irony of The Wall Street Journal's Thursday editorial criticizing "Beltway bedwetters" for fretting about the danger of elevating Ryan's Medicare reform proposal given that the core of the congressman's fan club is made up of conservative elites in the capital and his colleagues in the Capitol.
Ryan's time working in the business world is limited to the brief period he spent at his family's construction business in Janesville, Wis. That was only a matter of months, though. According to published reports, he returned to Wisconsin after the 1992 loss of his then-boss, Sen. Bob Kasten, but was back in Washington the next year working for Empower America. He returned to the family firm once more as a management consultant in 1997 but spent just a few months there before launching his winning congressional bid the next year.
While he wasn't exactly a job creator, Ryan has hustled to earn a living over the years, a skill many pols never have to develop.
In high school, the Badger State native worked on a series of entry-level jobs, including a stint on a grill at a local McDonald's. During college, he worked as an Oscar Mayer salesman and got a turn on the Wienermobile. And in his first years in Washington, he paid the rent thanks to a gig at Tortilla Coast, a Capitol Hill watering hole, and a job whipping people into shape at Washington Sport and Health Club.

Quimper pottery has a long history. Tin-glazed, hand-painted pottery has been made in Quimper, France, since the late seventeenth century. The earliest firm, founded in 1685 by Jean Baptiste Bousquet, was known as HB Quimper. Another firm, founded in 1772 by Francois Eloury, was known as Porquier. The third firm, founded by Guillaume Dumaine in 1778, was known as HR or Henriot Quimper. All three firms made similar pottery decorated with designs of Breton peasants and sea and flower motifs. The Eloury (Porquier) and Dumaine (Henriot) firms merged in 1913. Bousquet (HB) merged with the others in 1968. The group was sold to a United States family in 1984. More changes followed, and in 2011 Jean-Pierre Le Goff became the owner and the name was changed to Henriot-Quimper. The French firm has been called Societe Nouvelle des Faienceries de Quimper HB Henriot since March 1984. Pottery was made in Quimper when the city was part of the Roman Empire, long before tin-glazed pottery was being made.

Sophomore Jennifer VanderMeulen leads the Crimson with 31 goals and 24 points (photo courtesy of Gil Talbot.
WORCESTER, Mass. – The Harvard women's lacrosse team defeated Holy Cross, 10-6, Wednesday night at the Holy Cross Field to improve to 6-4 on the season. Jennifer VanderMeulen and Danielle Tetreault both scored hat tricks in the winning effort.
Five different Crimson players scored and four had assists for the Crimson. VanderMeulen added two assists to her stat line, while Tetreault had one. Tyler Petropulos added two goals and an assist and Chelsey Newman and Kyle Keating each found the back of the net. Melanie Baskind, who also had a handout, won three draw controls and collected three ground balls, while Lauren Tomkinson grabbed three ground balls and caused two turnovers. Mariah Pewarski also caused two of Holy Cross's 15 turnovers.
The Crimson got on the scoreboard first, putting in the first two scores of the half. Jennifer VanderMeulen scored on a free position shot after 2:47 of play and Petropulos put in an unassisted tally four and a half minutes later. The teams traded goals for the rest of the half with Tetreault finding Kyle Keating in front on the net and VanderMeulen handing off to Tetreault to give the Crimson a 4-2 lead. After Holy Cross pulled to within a goal, VanderMeulen scored with 13 seconds left in the half to put the visiting team up, 5-3.
VanderMeulen extend the Crimson lead to six seven minutes into the second frame. Two scores from the Crusaders made it a 6-5 game midway through the stanza. But Newman's unassisted goal and Tetreault's goal off a Petropulos feed gave the Crimson a three-point cushion. The Crusaders found the back of the net one more time in the final 10 minutes of the game.
The Harvard defense held Crusaders leading scorer Kat Sutton scoreless and snapped her 43 game scoring streak. Kerry Clark made seven second half saves to bring her season total to 65.
Harvard travels to Princeton for an Ancient Eight match-up Saturday at 1 p.m.
