Lots of uproar over Facebook's latest retuning of EdgeRank, spawning many theories and arguments.
A time to revolt! Or a time to reflect?
Instead of killing the ogre, try to understand what motivates the ogre. What does the ogre like? Hint: Learn from your experiences (both personal and professional), not from what the mob of angry villagers is chanting.
Part of what makes the social web kingdom so magical is the existence of ogres, unicorns and OPRAH. We must learn to live with them, adapt the harness bridle to accommodate the horn, giggle at the ALL-CAPS tweet… pay attention, learn, and move on to the next challenge.
Today's outcry is over reach. Tomorrow it will be over loss of page likes and an increase in spam comments — or maybe follows from fake accounts that are more Roomba than Cinderella. The system evolves, changes are implemented, people gather and grumble. But getting back to today's gripe…
Two things that we've done to grow our reach:
- Increase the number of people liking our page.
- Post often. The exact opposite of what the experts say we should be doing.
Increase page likes – While reach includes people who haven't liked your page, the more people you have in the pool, the greater the chance of splashing those around the pool.
Post often – Oversharing has been part of our strategy from the beginning. To show activity, share successes, highlight events. And now thanks to timeline, to archive what we've done in an easy to browse environment. By making it rain content, the pool remains full. Frequency is our friend, not our foe.
But this isn't only about reach. Once your content is in front of them, is it connecting with them?
Stop worrying about pleasing an algorithm. Start worrying about pleasing your core audience (the people you are still reaching). What is your goal, to game a system so you can reach more people, or to make the people you reach smile, think and share?
While others become upset with Facebook and talk about abandoning the network (or at least not giving it their all), take advantage of their hesitation, and strengthen your efforts on the network.
Facebook isn't asking us to buy the cow, they're just asking us to feed it on occasion. Facebook ads work. Play with them. Learn from them. Grow with them. Keep the California cow happy.
So, what does the ogre like? I think Facebook wants brands to be more human. To act less like marketing machines. To smile, to laugh, to cry, to become more connected with the people who like them. I feel this gives nonprofit organizations a huge advantage. And I think that selling a product that lists hopes and dreams as ingredients is also a real advantage — we're extremely lucky to work in higher ed social web. And remember, if you don't like how the Facebook fairy tale is going today, simply wait until tomorrow for a new chapter to be revealed.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A wide area of the central and southeast United States faces the unusual threat of tornadoes in January over the next 12 to 18 hours as an approaching cold front clashes with unusually warm air, a meteorologist said on Tuesday.
The first tornado warning of the approaching storm was issued for western Missouri, said meteorologist Bill Bunting at the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
A warning is intended to signal residents to take cover because a tornado could be forming. A less urgent tornado watch is in effect for a region from extreme northeast Texas through virtually all of Arkansas, western Tennessee and extreme southern Illinois.
"It's a little unusual," Bunting said of the tornado threat. "We don't see this every winter with this kind of warmth preceding a storm system."
Bunting said a lesser threat of severe storms and possible tornadoes extends over a huge area as far north as Chicago and extending east to Cincinnati, Ohio, and Nashville, Tennessee, and south into Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
"This weather system will reach its peak intensity this afternoon into the evening. It will only get stronger and cover a larger area over the next 12 to 18 hours," he said.
In Arkansas, forecasters predicted winds of up to 80 miles per hour (129 km per hour) and possible tornadoes throughout the state on Tuesday night.
The National Weather Service made a special release of weather balloons in Arkansas on Tuesday because of the threat.
A strong line of storms, including possible tornadoes, had left more than 11,000 customers without power in Arkansas by Tuesday night.
Strong winds downed trees and lightning strikes may have started fires in Monticello, a town of 9,500 in southeast Arkansas, according to a police dispatcher.
The National Weather Service reported two possible tornadoes in Missouri and Arkansas, though neither had apparently caused any significant damage.
The tornado threat was the latest development in a turbulent weather pattern.
Several cities set records for warmth on Monday and a few more record high temperatures were expected on Tuesday, although there were more clouds overhead to moderate temperature, Bunting said.
The high reached 74 Fahrenheit (23 Celsius) in Kansas City on Monday, encouraging residents to go outside for a winter round of golf or to a park wearing shorts and flip-flops.
By midmorning on Tuesday, the temperature had fallen to 43F in Kansas City and was expected to fall to 28F overnight with a chance of snow.
The temperature was 61F as far north as Chicago on Tuesday and the warmth extended into Indiana.
"The tornado and damaging wind threat will continue well after dark tonight," Bunting said, adding that people should be aware of the weather and monitor media reports.
Tornadoes are most dangerous after dark when residents are sometimes unable to see the approaching storm in time to take cover.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Sylvester of Marian (Ind.) has been named the NAIA National Division II Men's Basketball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday.

This week in fashion law: paint the town Louboutin red, A&F sued for discrimination (again), LiLo ducks "self-tanning mist" suit
Welcome back to "this week in fashion law," now running in modified form on Styleite.com under the sexier moniker "Catwalk Justice." And now, in this week's fashion law news...
New York shoe repair shops may be setting themselves up for a @LouboutinWorld of hurt. The New York Post has reported that for $32, an Upper East Side cobbler will give any heels brought in the door a "red sole upgrade" – a paint job with a custom blend created to match Christian Louboutin's signature color. Apparently, the "upgrade" has proven popular, and shoe repairmen throughout the City are now getting in on the game. But as in Alice in Wonderland, painting the roses red may draw the ire of those in power. Recall that Louboutin recently revealed its litigious side in a trademark dispute with Yves Saint Laurent over look-alike red soles. True, the lawsuit received a decidedly chilly reception among the public, but as far as the law is concerned, it is well established that color alone may function as a trademark in certain instances. While large corporations often overlook small-scale shenanigans, Louboutin may be spurred to action by the veritable cottage industry of red-heel emulation springing up: apart from the aforementioned sole-painters, you might remember a certain 15-year-old Irish girl who made the fashion blog rounds in May for her "DIY Louboutin" sole stickers.
Thus, contrary to the CFDA's new campaign, it seems that you can, in fact, fake fashion. (The question is, what are the consequences of faking it?) The CFDA, an increasingly successful champion of stronger intellectual property protection for fashion designs, has partnered with eBay in its new "You Can't Fake Fashion" venture (eBay perhaps motivated by a desire to preemptively PR-away any new costly lawsuits for counterfeit goods sold on its site.) The CFDA will promote its new tagline on brand-customized tote bags to be sold at Diane Von Furstenberg, Billy Reid, and Tory Burch, among other stores. Tote bags – hmmm… coincidence or cautionary choice?
Ever wonder who's legally entitled to the engagement ring when a wedding is called off? If so, shame on you: you're cynical and greedy. But you also have something in common with multimillionaire Roy Williams of the Dallas Cowboys, who has sued his would-be fiancée for the return of a $76,000 ring after she rejected his marriage proposal, delivered by mail. Yes, by mail. Hey, NFL players travel a lot… so sue him.
Speaking of football, Abercrombie & Fitch is in trouble (again) for alleged discrimination against employees who don't fit its "all-American" image. The chain has been sued by yet another Muslim employee who was fired after refusing to take off her hijab. The company claims that it complies with all laws requiring reasonable religious accommodations. FYI, the law governing what employers can and can't demand of their employees in the clothing department – so to speak – is a thorny little thicket, best navigated with the help of a law firm, like, say, this one.
And while we're on the subject of law firms, did you know that Lindsay Lohan has four of them working for her on a single case? Either she has amazing insurance or her financial woes are not as serious as we've been led to believe. In any event, it looks like these hired guns are worth the price. On Thursday, Lohan wiggled out of litigation in Florida federal court over her self-tanning mist Sevin Nyne, which LiLo claims to have developed with "tanning expert" Lorit Simon. Plaintiff White Wave, a Florida corporation, begs to differ: the case began when it sued Lohan and Simon on its home turf in 2009 for conspiring to steal its secret tanning formula. This week's ruling isn't a total loss for White Wave: the Florida court only ruled that it lacks personal jurisdiction over Lohan, so the company could theoretically sue her somewhere else. Sometimes, though, a ruling like this is effectively a win against a plaintiff who doesn't want to venture too far from home, or doesn't have the funds or emotional wherewithal to start all over again in a new court. For LiLo's sake, let's hope White Wave drops the matter; the girl's got enough problems on her mist-tanned hands as it is.

The newest Concept II rowing machine is the version (D) as in dog and hails from Vermont, right here in the good old USA.
The Concept 2 rowing machine has been a best seller in the hardcore rowing crowd for years, but hasn't made many inroads into the mainstream American fitness market due to its' higher price and pro level features that aren't appreciated by the casual rower.
Concept II Rowing Machine Key Features and Benefits
redesigned flywheel which is quieter and has a broader range of resistance
ergonomically designed handle to better simulate the arm position of on-water rowing
pace boat, force curve and power plot performance monitor
The Concept II rower is a really nice machine that has some unique features that will help your rowing training like no other rowing machine on the market…
For starters, the Concept2 can be linked together with other rowers to simulate rowing as a team, and it also captures the rhythm and feel of rowing on the water by using a carefully balanced and calibrated flywheel.
Then there's the huge 500 pound user weight limit that speaks highly of the frame build quality which comes with a 5 year warranty.
To top it off, there is a great Concept 2 rowing forum that has tons of activity from casual users all the way up to people training for serious competition.
You could spend a lot more for a rowing machine with some fancy marketing behind it than you will on the Concept 2 D, but I don't know why you would – it delivers price and performance that is unmatched on the market today.

Last month we got to check out Onkyo's new line of receivers and speakers. Today one of the users at AVS Forums has posted what appears to be a first-hand shot of Denon's new offerings. In particular, it's a shot of the GUI. Why the big deal?
Well, for one it's a lot more attractive than the blocky white-on-blue text, which is what most GUIs look like. It includes graphics along with text, which makes setup less scary and easier on the eyes. No word on how soon we'll see these receivers, but they've definitely earned our attention.

The price of oil rose Wednesday on new concerns about possible supply disruptions in the Middle East after Israel launched airstrikes in Gaza.
Benchmark oil rose 94 cents to finish at $86.32 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose $1.14 to $108.48 per barrel in London.
Israeli leaders said the airstrikes, which killed a Hamas military commander, were the start of a broad operation in response to days of heavy rocket fire from militants in the neighboring Palestinian territory.
Meanwhile global economic issues and the "fiscal cliff" in the U.S. are still in focus. Unless President Barack Obama and Congress reach a compromise, a series of expiring tax cuts and broad spending cuts will take effect in January, seriously impacting the world's largest economy.
Elsewhere official figures showed industrial production dropped 2.5 percent in September in the 17 countries that use the euro as currency. It was the largest monthly decline since January 2009.
Slower economic growth means less demand for energy products such as gasoline, heating oil and natural gas.
"The market is really kind of torn right now on the next direction," Price Futures Group oil analyst Phil Flynn said. "Everyone is waiting around to see if we're going to go over the 'fiscal cliff.'"
At the pump, the national average for gasoline was virtually unchanged at $3.44 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. That's about 34 cents less than a month ago and nearly 3 cents more than a year ago.
Among other energy futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
— Heating oil rose 2.74 cents to end at $2.9882 per gallon.
— Gasoline futures rose 2.52 cents to end at $2.679 per gallon.
— Natural gas rose 2.1 cents to end at $3.76 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Here's to hoping her purple lunch will power her through the day.
Packed in a plum colored Laptop Lunches box:
- ham, cheese and mustard sandwich on multigrain bread
- farm fresh plums, decorated with a purple crayon pick
- Trader Joe's cheesy corn puff stuff
- a boxed grape berry Odwalla fruit smoothie
The sandwich was cut in half with the dolphin shaped Lunch Punch. The two sandwich halves stack and fit perfectly in the medium inner box.
I was compelled to buy the Odwalla smoothies when I spied them at my local Super Target this weekend, after viewing the video by Weelicious last week. I almost bought the strawberry banana flavor (in a pinky red box), but remembered in the knick of time that the purple box of the grape berry flavor would work well for Purple Day. Whew. ;-)
Speaking of remembering (or in this case, not) I forgot to stick the purple-crayon-printed string cheese in the side of her Laptop Lunches box. It would have fit nicely in the vertical space on the right side, where utensils are meant to go. Darn.
Supplies used in the making of this lunch:

State Parks & Cultural Resources Department, Wyoming State Archives
MARSS is a database for accessing information about microfilmed records at the Wyoming State Archives. Since the 1950's, the Wyoming State Archives has been microfilming records and receiving records on microfilm. Archives staff have compiled the index information in a Microfilm Database, allowing information about microfilmed records to be available through the Internet.
The microfilm collection includes records from state and local government agencies, private collections, and a few federal documents. We have almost all of the Wyoming newspapers on microfilm. Database searches can be conducted using the agency name, county office, or record title or description. Most of the microfilm is available for research, but if the research copy is with the agency of record, you will need to contact that agency regarding access to the film.
University of Wyoming Libraries
The O. A. Beath Database addresses the many and varied aspects of selenium research. It organizes and makes available citations that lead to the published literature about selenium.
The Greater Yellowstone Bibliography (GYB) contains over 28,900 bibliographic citations to scholarly, popular, professional, and creative literature about the greater Yellowstone region of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The GYB includes citations to journal, magazine, and newspaper articles; books; book chapters; conference papers; state and federal government documents; theses; maps; CDs and CD-ROMs; sheet music; and promotional brochures and souvenirs. Some references to manuscripts, photographs, and museum artifacts are included, but these are not a major focus for adding to the Bibliography.
This database serves as an index to books that contain biographical profiles of Wyoming people. Currently, there are 7,317 entries from 27 books. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are best represented although there are some contemporary figures.
Provides author and subject keyword access to over 15,800 articles, poems and short stories from 45 current or ceased Wyoming magazines, including Annals of Wyoming, In Wyoming, Wyoming Wildlife, Wyoming Homes and Living, Teton, or Yellowstone Science.
Water Resources Data System, State Climate Office
The Wyoming Water Bibliography (WWB) was initiated to provide a comprehensive, computerized, bibliographic storage and retrieval system dealing with the development, management, and use of Wyoming's water resources. At present, the WWB contains 13,000 citations. As new reports are published, they are incorporated into the WWB by the Wyoming Water Resources Center. The WWB is a multidisciplinary system dealing with all aspects of water. Subject areas included are ground and surface water hydrology, water quality, water development, water management, water law, fish and wildlife, energy development, economics, recreation and various other disciplines related to water. Information for the bibliography was obtained from a variety of sources including state and federal agencies, universities, community colleges, city and county offices, public libraries, consulting firms, commercial database searches, and many personal contacts with other individuals involved with Wyoming's water. These sources were most valuable in furnishing information to make the WWB as complete as possible.
Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WyGISC)
Internet map viewer that displays WyGISC spatial data for Wyoming allowing for clip and zip functionality of vector data and map creation. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Resource Assessment Mapper (WOGRA) has been replaced by the WyGISC Data Server.
The purpose of this electronic "grasshopper encyclopedia" is to permanently archive while simultaneously making widely available the best information available on North American grasshopper ecology, biology and management.
An Internet mapping application displaying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data specifically designed for use in the classroom. Data have been assembled for ID, MT, ND, SD, and WY for such themes as: bedrock geology, roads, boundaries, cities, demographics, climate, land cover, land ownership, species occurrences or habitats, rivers, watersheds and elevation. This viewer supports the OpenGIS Consortium Web Mapping Specifications (WMS). Digital maps are generated from a combination of user-selected data providers at both the state and federal level.
The Wyoming Atlas currently contains over 580 maps of Wyoming in many different categories. A unique aspect of this Atlas is that most of the data comprising these maps is digital geospatial data and is available for download. Digital geospatial data contains both database information and spatial information. Because of the spatial component, any of the data comprising these maps can be "overlayed" and analyzed for relationships, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software.
This site contains distribution maps for all 445 terrestrial vertebrate species modeled in the Wyoming Gap Analysis Project along with Arc/Info export files for the individual species which can be downloaded and imported into your local GIS. Export files also exist which contain all species distribution information in one coverage, if you wish to download all species information in one file instead of individually.
This site is intended to be a clearinghouse of information about coalbed methane (CBM) in and around the state of Wyoming. The CBM Clearinghouse is a joint project brought to you by the University of Wyoming's William D. Ruckelshaus Institute and the Helga Otto Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, the University of Wyoming's Wyoming Geographic Information Sciences Center and the Bureau of Land Management.
This clearinghouse provides browsing and query tools for locating and downloading spatial data. The spatial data served in this clearinghouse is accompanied by metadata that complies with the Federal Geographic Data Committee standards. The clearinghouse is an official node of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI).

(AP) — The school district in Vancouver is investigating a third-grade teacher accused of using a "pay to potty" policy that required students to spend their fake classroom cash for bathroom breaks. Two parents complained after their children came home from Mill Plain Elementary School in clothes they were given after wetting themselves. KATU reports the teacher manages the class with fake money that students earn and can spend on toys, treats or going to the bathroom. Evergreen School District spokeswoman Gail Spolar says "pay to potty" is not district policy and students are not prevented from going to the restroom when they must. Spare clothes are kept at schools for accidents. A substitute is teaching the third-grade class while the teacher is under investigation.

You know it's bad when you're a fashion editor wearing the wrong bra size. Yep, I was walking around town wearing a 34B when in all actuality—and to my great surprise—I'm a 32C.
Much like you, I always thought my bra fit just fine. But Asia Hatten, one of Victoria's Secret's bra specialists, ruled that out pretty fast. "Yes, your bra looks like it fits," she said, assessing my chest. "But you're actually not getting any support." Apparently my band size was too big and my cup size needed to go from a B to a C in order to prop up my girls.
After my newfound size was revealed, I got to thinking that there's zero chance I'm the only schmuck waltzing about town wearing the wrong size support system—in fact, studies have found that the majority of women aren't wearing the right size!—so I figured I'd ask Hatten the key to finding a bra that fits.
1. Ask for help. "Have the bra specialist measure you (tightly around your waist, right under your boobs), and then ALWAYS try on the bra size she suggests," Hatten explains. "The measurement only provides a guideline for your band size, but not your cup size. And since every bra fits differently, it's crucial that you see how each bra feels on your body."
2. Be open-minded about what size you might be. "Just because you ring in at a D cup size doesn't mean your boobs are going to be as big as Pamela Anderson's," she says. I'll back Hatten up here because if you saw me up close and personal, you'd say, "Oh, you're probably a B, if not a full A," but like I said, she told me I was a C! (Can you tell I'm psyched about my newfound bra size?) Moral of the story: Don't get fixated on the number or cup size, and be prepared to let go of your old size.
3. Make sure the center gore of your bra lays flat against your torso. What's the center gore, you ask? It's the little spacer that sits on your chest connecting the two cups of your bra. (Behati's pink bow above is currently resting on her bra's center gore, if you want a visual.) Hatten says if ithe center gore is lifting up, that means your band size is too big.
4. Clasp it on the loosest hook-and-eye. Especially with a new bra. "When you hook it on the tightest closure right off the bat, you eliminate the option to tighten it up when your bra stretches out, and it will with regular washings and wear and tear," says Hatten.
5. Watch that your cups don't runneth over. "Your boobs shouldn't be spilling out of your bra. If they are, it's too small for you," says Hatten. Conversely, "if there is a small gap between your breast and your bra, you may just need to adjust the straps. If there's a large gap, then the bra might be too big. For the bra to fit just right, each cup should lay flat against your breast without cutting into your boob, and the band around your torso should be flush against your body, without making any indentations on your sides."
Do you suspect you're wearing the wrong bra size? Let us know your boob dilemmas in the comments!

Joining the European Economic Area (EEA) is one option for the UK outside the EU. There are pros and cons to this version of Leave, on which people will have different views. What is undoubtedly true is that, whatever its pros or cons, it is a version of Leave. It is an alternative to the EU. It is not a version of Remaining within the EU.

Filing a Complaint Against a Judge
The Commission does not review legal error or disputes about the merits of a judge's decision. Filing a complaint is not a substitute for appeal and has no effect on your legal or appellate rights . If you want or intend to appeal from a judge's order, you must pursue your appellate rights through the judicial system. The appellate process is subject to strict deadlines, and you should immediately obtain legal advice about your appellate remedies. The Commission may not give legal advice or help you decide whether to appeal.
If you file a complaint against a judge, you must provide your name, current address, all telephone contacts, the name of the judge and the court, and the cause number and names and addresses of all attorneys who represented you at any time if your complaint relates to a court case.
You must state in writing a concise but detailed explanation of the judge's specific conduct you allege to have been unethical. Provide dates, names and contact information for any witnesses, and copies of pertinent documents. You need not research or identify what precise rule the judge is alleged to have violated. The judge will receive a copy of your complaint.
The only other requirement is that you verify your complaint; that is, sign it under oath stating that the allegations are true to the best of your knowledge and belief. Please use the complaint form. The Commission's address is:
251 N. Illinois Street, Suite 1600
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and will contact you in writing if we need more information. If you supplement your complaint, you must do so in writing. The Commission meets only every other month, and we cannot predict how long your complaint may be pending. Again, you must continue to pursue your legal and/or appellate remedies, as the complaint process does not affect or protect your legal rights.
If the Commission dismisses your complaint after concluding that the judge did not violate the ethics rules, you will be notified only of that fact. If your complaint is dismissed, but the judge received a private caution of some kind, you will be advised that the Commission took appropriate action. If the Commission ultimately votes to file formal disciplinary charges based upon your allegations, the process then becomes public.
Usually, the only public action taken by the Commission is when it issues a Commission Admonition or files charges asking the Supreme Court to impose judicial discipline. Otherwise, the Commission is required to maintain the confidentiality of all complaints and investigations, and its meetings are not open to the public. Supreme Court rules prohibit the Commission in most instances from informing anyone, including the complainant, of the nature of any Commission deliberations, the progress or details of any investigation, or details behind the basis for the Commission's final decision.
You are not required to keep confidential your allegations or the fact that you filed a complaint, nor is the judge. However, if you do state or write your allegations to anyone outside the Commission, you lose your protection from a lawsuit, protection you otherwise have under Supreme Court rules for any statements made without malice.
Download the complaint form.
Please keep a copy of the completed complaint form and any attachments for your personal records. Staff will not be able to provide you with any copies later.

<![CDATA[On 9 April The Prince of Wales began an initial scheme to embolden tourist support of The Prince's Countryside Fund. The fund assists individuals who live and work in rural areas. The scheme was introduced at a reception at The George Hotel in Penrith.
Sponsored by major tourism businesses throughout the UK, the scheme will encourage tourists across the country to contribute towards projects supported by The Prince's Countryside Fund. The fund provides numerous opportunities for residents in rural areas in Britain.
The fund is able to "provide grants of up to £50,000 to projects that are tackling one of five key issues. Our grants will aim to improve service provision in rural areas, support rural enterprise, support farming businesses, and provide training opportunities for young people and educating people about the value of the countryside," according to it's website.
During the reception held at The George Hotel, Prince Charles discussed that the programme will start during the 2014 summer season:
"To my mind there is a powerful bond between tourism and our rural communities and that is one reason why I started the Prince's Countryside Fund in 2010. For me it matters as much that those who live in urban areas have a countryside to visit and cherish, as it does that farmers can continue to live and work on their land producing food for the nation. But the delicately woven tapestry which is our countryside is facing unprecedented challenges. Start pulling the threads and the rest unravels very rapidly indeed. No farmers, beautiful landscapes with stone walls; no thriving rural communities, no villages – or village pubs; no sustainable agriculture, no distinctive locals foods," he concluded.
Charles has been an ardent a champion of British farming and rural areas. In 1999 The Prince's Countryside Fund was launched. His visit this month marked the 15 year anniversary of the charity.

A Business Made from Scratch
Two IC Grads fill a Hole in the Doughnut Market
By Robin Roger
Dun-Well Doughnuts makes the best doughnuts in New York City.
According to the New York Daily News, that is. But the newspaper almost didn't consider the doughnuts, made by Dan Dunbar '06 and Chris Hollowell '06, because they're vegan. As customers continued to write to the paper in favor of the duo's doughnuts, the Daily News sent a reporter to the shop to investigate.
"He said, 'They look good,'" recalls Dunbar. "Then he had one, and he was blown away. He said, 'I would not have guessed these were vegan.' We gave him a dozen to bring back to the office, and we saw writers tweeting about how great they were."
While the website for Dun-Well Doughnuts touts their vegan credentials, the fact that the doughnuts do not contain eggs or milk isn't something Dunbar and Hollowell actively promote.
"You don't see the word 'vegan' posted anywhere in the shop," Dunbar said. "' It's more of a revelation."
Hollowell first came up with the idea after watching the 20th anniversary episode of The Simpsons.
"There was a whole part about doughnuts, and I was hungry," he said. But as a vegan, he had few choices, even in New York City. So he called up Dunbar, in Chicago at the time, and Dunbar started experimenting without a recipe or any doughnut-making experience.
The first batch was a miserable failure. When he dropped that first ball of dough into a deep fryer, Dunbar said it sank to the bottom and didn't come up for 40 minutes.
"The first ones were so bad, we could have created a business out of people paying us not to eat them," he said. "I didn't even know doughnuts should have sugar in them. I had friends try them, and they said, 'They're good if you put enough chocolate syrup on them.' They were very patient."
Now that Dunbar and Hollowell have perfected the standard doughnut, they've experimented with innovative flavors like Earl Grey tea, peanut butter and jelly, and rose with dark lavender. They made a sweet potato pie doughnut for Easter, and they said they planned to make savory doughnuts, like a curry-infused doughnut with mango chutney filling.
"It's an artistic process," said Dunbar, who was an art major at IC. "When you create some limitations for yourself, it creates opportunities to push the boundaries. Instead of following old patterns, and repeating what you've done before, it will be different."
Hollowell became a vegan the summer before his senior year at Ithaca, while Dunbar went vegan his freshman year. Dunbar said he lost 80 pounds.
"My own grandmother didn't recognize me," he said.
Right after graduating from IC, the two trekked cross country as part of Bike and Build, an organization that raises funds for affordable housing projects. The next year, they led a group of 30 people on the same type of trip.
"It's no small feat leading 30 people across the country on bicycles, but we did that," Hollowell said. "Nobody got hurt; everybody was happy. If we can say the same about our business, I think it's a success."
Hollowell admitted that he and Dunbar had no business experience when they decided to launch Dun-Well Doughnuts.
"We made up the doughnut from scratch, and we're learning how to run a business from scratch," he said.
The business was completely self-funded with Dunbar and Hollowell's life savings, except for a recent campaign on the online fund-raising platform Indiegogo that netted $15,000 in donations to help them open the shop in Brooklyn."In this city there's a motto: fake it till you make it. I used to really dislike that motto—now I understand where it comes from," Hollowell said.
Hollowell used his acting experience to help negotiate the lease on the shop.
"We had a meeting with this Manhattan real estate mogul," Hollowell said. "I had talked the night before with a friend of mine who was in real estate, and I got my talking points—or my script if you will. I was talking a mile a minute—I was pretending to be a business man. After that meeting, Dan just looked at me and said,'That was awesome.'"
They didn't get that lease, but after a few more tries, they landed the spot in Brooklyn where the shop is now.
The shop's old-fashioned style pays homage to the Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers in France. Hollowell's family owned a bakery back in Germany, where his grandparents grew up, and photos from that time line the walls of the shop. Somebody once asked Hollowell what his grandparents would think of him running a vegan bakery.
"It's more in line with the past than people would think," he said. "While my grandmother used eggs in her bakery, she was getting them from the chicken coop out back, not from an industrial factory farm. We try to keep things as local and sustainable as possible in our doughnut shop."
1 Comment
I live near Dunwell in Brooklyn and saw this article on their Twitter feed -- they are the real deal, and if anything this article understates how big of a revelation their doughnuts are. If you can, stop by one day. You won't be disappointed.

Jasmine Wildblood Duty Work on Location Filming
Dividing time between lectures with lectures conducted by Jasmine Wildblood for both of them can walk. No doubt he also had trouble when given the task of the college and often worked on the set.
"If you do not shoot can do at home, but now at the location. Kerjain task is difficult because the location must often be left to live.'s Rather difficult," the story when we met on the sidelines filming PRINCESS Persari which were exchanged at the Studio, Jakarta, Thursday ( 23 /).
She did not want to leave acting to focus activities to the college and vice versa because for him all support each other and have the advantage because it is still in the same field.
"Fair to lessons, such as time of the first semester I could lecture about the film and the camera shot. In I already know basically, so it can better know anymore," she said.
With a very solid shooting schedule Jasmine Wildblood's parents never protested, even feel sorry for, and often reminded when there is time for rest is used to prevent fatigue on campus.
"Parents know the schedule because I was never angry solid baseball. At least remind when I have time using that location for sleeping, so the campus is not exhausted. They understand because it wants me out of here," said Jasmine Wildblood who berobsesi could complete college.

A Fort Worth woman says the man she hired to remove her dog's ingrown nails wasn't really a veterinarian and stole her purse.
Gay Penny recently needed an animal doctor because her 3-year-old Dachshund-Chihuahua mix, Flo Jo, developed a problem with two of her nails.
"She couldn't walk right, you know?" Penny said. "She'd step, because they (the nails) would go right into her little pad."
Penny said she met Jeremy Bradbury through a neighbor.
"He even introduced himself to me, 'I'm Jeremy; I'm a vet,'" she said. "He had on scrubs. He had a little bag that he carried. He had blood pressure cuffs."
Penny paid him $60 to remove Flo Jo's nails. He kept the dog overnight and performed the procedure, she said.
It wasn't until he returned to her home for a followup visit that she realized there was a problem.
"Well, he stole my wallet," she said.
She reported the theft to police, and that's when she learned Bradbury was no vet.
"I feel terrible," she said as Flo Jo sat on the couch next to her. "She was a victim. Not only was I a victim, but she was a victim."
Police arrested Bradbury, 36, on charges of theft and acting as a vet without a license.
In a short interview outside his home in North Fort Worth, Bradbury denied ever claiming to be a vet. He said he is an animal trainer and likes to help people with their pets. He also denied stealing Penny's purse.
Penny said what happened to her should serve as a lesson for other pet owners.
"What if you took your child to the doctor and the doctor supposedly did surgery on your child and then you find out he's not a doctor?" she said. "Be sure to ask for some kind of identification. Make sure before you let someone take your babies and do something with them that they're who they say they are."
Penny did take Flo Jo to a real veterinarian who said the dog seems to be doing fine.

This a short post looking at the Dedicated Administrator Connection or DAC for short. In extreme circumstances, when there is a complete lack of resources available, for example, it is possible for SQL Server to enter a state whereby no further connections can be made to the instance. In versions prior to SQL server 2005 this meant the DBA might not be able to connect to the said instance to begin troubleshooting, kill rouge processes causing the issue, or diagnose the cause of the problem. A special connection called a Dedicated Administrator Connection (DAC) was introduced in SQL Server 2005 that was designed to be accessible even when no other connections are available.
DAC access must be specifically requested. You connect via the command line tool SQLCMD using the -A or /A flag. This is generally the recommended way as it uses fewer resources than connecting through management studio but you can use both and we will look at connecting via the GUI first.
Connecting to the DAC using the GUI
If you try and connect to DAC using the object explorer in management studio you will get an error similar to:
Cannot connect to admin:SQLSERVER2008R2.
This is because you can't connect to the DAC in object explorer. You can however connect to it from a query window from management studio click <file> <New Database Engine Query>
You then connect using the DAC by specifying ADMIN: in front of the instance name:
Click on connect and you should get in. You can the run TSQL statements such as SP_WHO query DMV's and KILL any rouge processes in your efforts to troubleshoot and fix the problem
Connecting to DAC using SQLCMD
To connect to the DAC using the SQLCMD console:
Open a command prompt and connect to the instance using the necessary flag
from the SQLCMD prompt you can then run things like sp_who query DMVs and kill sessions and troubleshoot as needed.
There can only be on connection on the DAC at anyone time if two people try and connect the last person to try and connect will get an error similar to:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 64)
which I think you will agree is pretty non-specific but there will be a more meaningful message in the SQL Server log:
Could not connect because the maximum number of '1' dedicated administrator connections already exists. Before a new connection can be made, the existing dedicated administrator connection must be dropped, either by logging off or ending the process.
Error: 17810, Severity: 20, State: 2
My GUI session was still connected using the DAC. For this reason I would recommend only connecting via the DAC as needed and disconnecting from it as soon as your done.
Some other points to note:
The DAC is only available locally by default but this can be reconfigured to allow remote connections using the configuration option called 'Remote Admin Connections'
To login using the DAC you must be a member of the sysadmin server role.

Who Is Bill O'Reilly Talking About?
"If you challenge [him], he's in your face. If you point out his failures, he denies them. If you disagree with him on anything, you're a moron."
"He loves power. He believes he is good for the nation."
For frequent viewers of Bill O'Reilly's show, the above descriptions, from the November 29 O'Reilly Factor, call to mind one person: Bill O'Reilly.
Here's O'Reilly getting in the face of Jeremy Glick, the son of a 9-11 victim who challenged O'Reilly on his pro-war views. O'Reilly called Glick's views "a bunch of crap" and repeatedly told him to "shut up."
Here's O'Reilly repeatedly denying his lies about the purported success of a "boycott" he led against France (initially, by apparently inventing a publication called the Paris Business Review).
And here's O'Reilly suggesting that those who disagree with him are "moron[s]."
"Good for the nation" ? O'Reilly wrote a book titled Culture Warrior. He clearly thinks he's on the right side of that war.
But O'Reilly wasn't having a moment of introspection. He was attacking retiring Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA). A case of projection rather than introspection?:
O'Reilly also used Frank's announcement to celebrate his confrontation with the congressman over Frank's role in overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. O'Reilly joined his "straight news" colleagues on Fox in falsely suggesting that Frank opposed reforming those entities.
Full transcript below the jump.
O'REILLY: As for Barney Frank, his departure from national politics is more significant for the country. As The Wall Street Journal pointed out today, Mr. Frank is the face of American liberalism, an indignant man who believes he has a copyright on compassion. If you challenge Frank, he's in your face. If you point out his failures, he denies them. If you disagree with him on anything, you're a moron.
So, I decided to take Frank on. He clearly he did not tell the truth about his oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and I called him on it. You can see the exchange on the Net. If you missed it, it is intense. But I had to call Mr. Frank out. It had to be done. The congressman says he's not running again for personal reasons, and again, he doesn't like to be challenged on that.
[begin video clip]
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE (co-host of NBC's Today): For those who think that maybe this is a signal that you don't think the Democrats are going to win back control of the House in 2012, your response would be what?
[video break]
FRANK: So, no, this doesn't mean we're not going to take back the House. And in fact, I think we're likely to win this seat again. I don't know. Did you think I would serve till I was 106? I mean, I'm 71 years old. The question is, I have decided not to serve until three months before my 75th birthday. I guess I don't understand why that is so hard for people to grasp.
[end video clip]
O'REILLY: We get it, Barney. You're tired, you're cranky, you want out. Good luck.
But truthfully, if the Democrats were riding high, Barney Frank would most likely run again. He loves power. He believes he is good for the nation.
Here's what I believe. Barney Frank is sincere in wanting to help the less fortunate, but his big-spending policies don't work. And because he is unwilling to understand economics, his tenure in the House has harmed the country.
Also, Mr. Frank does not hold the high ground. It is much more humane to look out for all the folks, to demand fiscal responsibility so all Americans can prosper. The left believes that the USA should be in business to help the downtrodden at the expense of everyone else. That's why doctrinaire liberalism is not successful. The way you do help the unemployed and the ill-educated is to create widespread prosperity so they can hitch a ride on it and work their way up. Giving people stuff is a recipe for failure. We've seen it over and over. But if you tell Barney Frank that, you're a bad person.
America does not owe anyone a living. Barney never got that. But we wish him well anyway.

Inquiry Question
This lesson is based on the National Historic Landmark nomination files, "Raton Pass" and "Glorieta Battlefield" (with photographs); the National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Documentation Form, "Historic Resources of the Santa Fe Trail, 1821-1880;" and William E. Brown's, The Santa Fe Trail: National Park Service 1963 Historic Sites Survey. It was written by Kathleen Hunter, an education consultant, and edited by Marilyn Harper and the Teaching with Historic Places staff. This lesson is one in a series that brings the important stories of historic places into classrooms across the country.

Materials for students
Visiting the site
Raton Pass is located in the Raton Mountains on the border between Colorado and New Mexico. Interstate 25 goes through the pass. The view is spectacular, but the climb is steep, and the road is often closed due to bad weather.
In 1987, the United States Congress designated the Santa Fe Trail as a National Historic Trail. The Trail is administered by the National Park Service in cooperation with other government and private partners. Because many feet, hooves, and wheels would destroy this fragile resource, recreational travel on the historical trail itself is discouraged. An auto tour route that closely follows the original trail route has been marked along major highways. For more information, contact the Long Distance Trail Group Office--Santa Fe, P. O. Box 728, Santa Fe, NM 87504-0728 or visit the Trail's website.

Unlike Bersih 2.0 that I've experienced last July, the police were not intimidating at all at the beginning. We were free to wear yellow and take the LRT to where we want. After hearing rumours that some LRT stations may have been closed, my friends and I had to take the Pasar Seni stop and surprisingly, there was already a massive crowd there all around the area from Central Market to Kota Raya to Jalan Sultan. It was only like 10:30am, majority were in yellow, and no unreasonable actions taken by the police unlike the previous occasion. The people were, of course, of all ethnicity including Caucasians, and of all adult ages. From my rough estimation, I'd say probably a quarter were senior citizens.
We had our meals at McDonald's, that was overcrowded and was eventually closed up. We walked onto Jalan Sultan at around 12pm and the rally seemed to have begun. Majority joined in while some just continue standing around because the official kickoff time stated on Bersih official website for all meeting point except KLCC was 1.30pm. But we just joined in anyway. Bumped into "Auntie Bersih" Annie along the way. The numbers were pretty amazing for only one out of six sides that are headed towards Dataran Merdeka, the sit-in protest's destination. Whatever numbers the mainstream media tells you later, it's definitely a few times more. They said only 5,000 attended the previous Bersih but from what most people could see was that it was at least 20, 000.
No idea why but this rally that we followed walked all the way in, took a big round just to come back out from Jalan Tun HS Lee, and then moved toward Dataran Merdeka. It was a long and slow march in the very very hot weather. If there was cocktail, it would've felt like some big beach carnival with yellow as the theme colour. I had my mum cut off the sleeves of my t-shirt but I guess it didn't really help that much with the heat. It was quite relaxed and totally not as intense as the last time. We sang and we chanted about the cause and nothing political. There was even a large yellow beach balls being passed around in the air like a big concert.
It was right before 2pm when we reached to the location, which was the bridge at Leboh Pasar Besar road that leads to Dataran Merdeka where the police had already barricaded with barbed wires, we just sat. We tried to ask the police open up and let us in but to no avail. They were in line with shields and probably weapons, prepared to stop us from crossing no matter what. And so we just followed the rally leader's instruction and just sit down. Dato' S. Ambiga, the chairperson and organiser of Bersih, had already made it clear on the prior day that our objective was to sit around the destination and crossing over would mean that you went against the rules set by DBKL.
An ambulance came squeezing through the packed crowd with its emergency siren on, hoping to cross the bridge to get to the hospital. Before we reach here, we actually saw someone seemingly unconscious on the ground surrounded with people who were trying to help. This person may had been in that ambulance but guess what? The ambulance weren't allowed to go through the barricades either and was forced to make a three-point turn in the packed crowd of protesters. Another ambulance came later on had to make a U-turn as well.
So the riot police force's front line was far away from the barricades and our front line was just busy taking pictures. Nothing was happening. We were sitting there for almost an hour with no phone or internet coverage, without knowing what's going on around. Taking photos was the only activity besides chanting and singing. Many couldn't stand the heat and ended up walking around looking for a roof instead of staying at where we were supposed to. We had no idea what's going on at the other sides, thanks to our incompetent telecommunication providers, and our patience was put to the test. We made a move when someone started walking around telling everyone to go to Jalan Tun Perak. Just as we walked farther away from the barricades, the riot police seemed to have came in closer with their trucks. We ignored that and just moved away from that area and went towards Jalan Tun Perak while looking for a shop to get some water. Even 7-11 was closed. One of the mamaks near by was opened and we took the chance to refresh ourselves with some drinks. The queue for packets of ice was incredibly long.
And so we got to Jalan Tun Perak at around 3pm and that's where it started getting a little chaotic. Initially, tear gas canisters were fired for the front line protesters to move back. I didn't actually see any provocation. I only see protesters standing around peacefully. And then, for unknown reasons, tear gas canisters were fired over and over again by the police. A little too much, I felt. There was even one that fell right in the path that I was running. They were no strangers to me so they didn't bother me as much as the last time. Many participants were going around giving out salt and water to everyone to neutralise the effects of the tear gas. Those who passed out because of the heat or teargas had the care of the people around and the medics. Many got angry because of the excessive use of teargas and started kicking garbage bins, resulting a rubbish-filled road. But one small group of young female participants were going around cleaning up the mess.
3.50pm, the end time of the event was near, we wanted to make a last stand but was received by tear gas. Then after 4pm, we just stood far away from the barricades and just witness the demonstrators in front getting fed with more tear gas and water cannons from the police force. Determined to stick to the original agenda and disperse after the end time, we tried to look for way to head home but all the LRT stations around were closed. It's quite funny considering that the purpose of the PDRM was for us to disperse and yet the most convenient public transport stopped their service. As we walked back to Kota Raya, the wind blew the tear gas from another road to where we were. We took the public bus to get out of Kuala Lumpur. Even in the bus we still see the police firing tear gas. I pity the innocent lorry drivers with windows opened.
Now this was all that I saw and gone through at this side of the demonstration. I witnessed no violence from either side besides water bottles being thrown at police patrol vehicles, and tear gas canisters & water cannons fired to the protesters by the authorities. Participants of all races were just as caring to one another as the previous Bersih. What happened at the other locations (the rally that went from Masjid Jamek, Masjid India, Pasar Seni, Central Market, KLCC, etc) is another story for someone else to tell. I have, however, already read a lot about the terrible things that happened there and seen many pictures and videos that are circulating around Twitter and Facebook. My aftermath thoughts are shared on this entry.
The tens of thousands, including my friends and myself, took part of Bersih 3.0 because we agree that the coming general election will be the dirtiest ever, we support free and fair elections, we want genuine democracy, and we wish to exercise our rights as the citizens of Malaysia. Before Bersih 2.0, not many people I know bothered about the issues and now, to know that some of these people actually attended this time or at least cared about the cause, makes me feel extremely proud and delightful.

AMD Shanghai Opteron CPUs On Linux: Last quarter AMD introduced their "Shanghai" Opteron processors that join the ranks of Intel's Harpertown Xeon CPUs that are 45nm quad-core server/workstation parts. Initial reviews of these new AMD Opteron processors have been very positive, but how do these chips perform with Linux? In this article we have our hands on a few of the fastest Shanghais, the AMD Opteron 2384 clocked at 2.7GHz, as we see how well they compare to the older "Barcelona" Opteron processors.

Purchasing a home is often the most important investment decision someone makes in a lifetime. With the three economic concepts of leverage, tax deductability and inflation protection supporting home ownership, it is no wonder that the majority of wealth held by American's today directly results from their investment in real estate.
Despite these all important economic concepts, the financial incentives are not the most compelling reasons to purchase a home. A home means security for your family. No longer will you be subject to the whims of a landlord. A home enables you to be part of a community in which you and your family will develop relationships that will often last a lifetime. Communities comprised of homeowners also tend to be better maintained and safer than rental communities. Furthermore, the children of homeowners tend to excel in their development when compared to the children of renters, according to studies*.
