Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and get ready for your high school prom. How come no one ever thinks to bring a bucket with them to prom? You know, for retching? Because you will retch. If the nerves don't get to you, the schnapps will. LET'S GO!
GLEE – 8:00PM (FOX) Lots of prom-themed programming tonight, including this new episode of "Glee" featuring their infamous cover of "Friday." And you can tell the "Glee" folks are aching to have everyone marvel at their retooling of the song and be like OMG! GLEE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Well, I'm sorry, but you could dress that song up any way you like and it's still "Friday." Teen harmonies and Lady Gaga's drum machine ain't changing it. Also featured tonight are covers of "Dancing Queen" (which will no doubt be sung by Chris Colfer), "Isn't She Lovely", and Adele's "Rolling In the Deep." If you prefer the actual Adele, without gratuitous throbbing beats, she's over at "Dancing with the Stars" an hour later. ANTICIPATION: GLEE PROM!
WORST. PROM. EVER. – 10:00PM (MTV) More promminess, with this made-for-MTV movie about three saucy teens who try and salvage the night after their prom dates ditch them at the last second. Expect many sexy hijinks and plenty of grim reminders that you are not actually watching "Superbad." ANTICIPATION: THE TITLE COULD SAY IT ALL!
ONLY IN AMERICA WITH LARRY THE CABLE GUY – 9:00PM (History Channel) Continuing with the high school theme, Larry heads to Minnesota tonight to attend a local high school. Hey, who skipped that guy past fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade? The system fails us yet again. ANTICIPATION: LEARNY!
BECOMING CHAZ – 9:00PM (OWN) Oprah's network premieres this documentary special from Chaz Bono explaining the process of his gender reassignment surgery. Just in time for him to go to prom! Or not. ANTICIPATION: WRENCHING!
THE GOOD WIFE – 10:00PM (CBS) That naughty Kalinda went and slept with Alicia's husband, and now Alicia is all like, "Nuh nuh girl! WE'LL HAVE WORDS!" You know where they should settle this sort of thing? A prom. It makes all the sense in the world. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!

A Washington woman tried to saw her husband's head off with a power saw, according to police.
"You tried to cut my head off," police said they heard the victim shout when they arrived at the Everett, Wash., home. "You're going to jail."
The 43-year-old woman appeared in court Monday on a charge of domestic violence assault and a judge kept her bail at $250,000, according to the Daily Herald, which did not identify her.
The woman told police she grabbed the sawzall Friday night after seeing an intruder flee through her daughter's window.
But Sgt. Robert Goetz said the window only opened a few inches, because of a child-proof lock. "There was no evidence there was an intruder," he told the newspaper.
The home's front and back doors were also locked, police said.
The 36-year-old man, who was also struck with a hatchet, was treated at a hospital.
Police found blood on the woman's clothes and body as well as on the carpet and walls inside the house. A bloody sawzall and a freshly-washed hatchet were also recovered, police said in court documents.

Those cronut dreams will have to wait: The Health Department closed the SoHo bakery that makes the trendy pastries for a "severe mouse infestation."
The department investigated after a video posted on YouTube by Dominique Ansel Bakery patron Cody Pickrodt showed a little mouse scurrying across the floor of the Spring Street store as employees kneaded dough and prepared orders behind the counter.
The bakery was closed Friday afternoon for a "severe mouse infestation that requires professional pest control services," according to the Health Department.
The bakery plans to re-open Monday after extermination, said spokeswoman Amy Ma. She said any whole larger than a ballpoint pen is considered "not vermin proof."
Pickrodt told Gothamist the mouse "ran all over the place in plain view for a good 20 seconds" before he started shooting the video. He said the employees seemed to be aware of the mouse, but kept working.
He told the website he tried to show the critter to a couple waiting in line behind him, but they didn't believe him. When he showed them the video he took, he said they left the store.
An official statement from the bakery that started croissant-doughnut hybrid craze says:
"As a small one-shop bakery, we often feel like we're being looked at under a tremendous microscope. The news was dramatically sensationalized. A lot of time people don't see the larger ramifications of their actions and how a tiny video of a mouse running across the screen for 3 seconds can cause harm and damages to an honest, small business that people's livelihood depends on."
Ma told NBC 4 New York that staff spent seven hours cleaning the store Thursday and found just the one mouse. She said cleanliness is of utmost importance and the shop has received nothing but As on its health inspections in the nearly three years it's been open.
Ma also said she wished the customer who filmed the video had notified an employee so the issue could have been addressed more swiftly to "help improve the experience for all our guests rather than try to make a news story about it."

JK I lied, it's not cold in SoCal yet. I honestly do not know what's going on with the weather down here. Two weeks ago it was cold and rainy, this past week or so has been up in the 80s again, and so with this weather, comes this casual outfit. Browns and greens to fill the need of fall colors but thin t-shirt and chinos for the hot days. Also useful for running away and blending into the foliage.

BOSTON, Mass. – Led by four double-figure scorers the UMass Boston women's basketball team got their 2012-13 season off to an exciting start as they went to overtime before handing Middlebury College a 66-61 loss to advance to the championship round of the UMass Boston Tip-Off Tournament Saturday afternoon.
The Beacons improved to 1-0 on the year, while the Panthers fell to 0-1 in the season opener for both squads.
Leading the Beacons scoring in Saturday's contest was sophomore and reigning Little East Conference Rookie of the Year Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) as well as newcomer Andrea Suffredini (Milford, Mass.) as the duo posted 14 points each. Behind them Olivia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) tallied her first collegiate double-double scoring 10 points, while also pulling down 15 boards. Gabriela Cogliano (Saugus, Mass.) came off the bench to finish with 10 points as well rounding out the Beacons leading four.
On the glass, Morrison totaled seven boards to finish second on the team in that category alongside Teresa Pina.
For the Panthers Sarah Marcus led the contest with 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting, which included a pair of three-pointers. At the line she was 1-for-2. Jesse Miller finished second on the team with 11 points, followed by Nora Kelly who recorded 10 on the afternoon.
Late in the second half, the Panthers cut the Beacons then seven point lead down to two following a three-pointer from Kelly and back-to-back free throws from Borsinger. UMass pushed their lead back to four after Morrison sank a wide-open jumper. However Middlebury answered right back this time scoring back-to-back jumpers to tie the game at 52-52. Morrison would give UMB another lead with 45 seconds left in the contest. Rachel Crews would then tie it at 54-54 with 30 seconds left in regulation on a jumper of her own.
After the game-tying basket from Crews the Beacons in-bounded the ball and brought it the length of the court. It would first land in the hands of Suffredini. The transfer would drive to the basket and missed a very contested lay-up. Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) would grab the offensive-board, allowing the Beacons to call a full timeout.
Following the short break, Morrison was handed what would have been the game-winning shot. The ball hit hard off of the iron and just as time was about to expire Murphy put-up a last second chance which nearly hit its mark.
All tied-up at 54-54 the two teams retook the court for the first overtime. Crews quickly gave her squad a two-point lead following a pair of made free throws. Morrison than made it a one-point game after going 1-for-2 at the line. Sarah Marcus pushed the Panthers lead to three after nailing a jumper (58-55).
Cogliano and Murphy would put the game out of reach the duo combined for 10 points, while holding Middlebury scoreless to make it 65-58 with 30 seconds left in the contest. Miller did cut the deficit to four after scoring the only three-pointer of the overtime period, but by then it was too little too late. Cogliano sealed the win with a free-throw giving the Beacons their first win of the year.
As a team the Beacons shot 39.4% (26-for-66) on the day, while Middlebury closed out the game shooting 32.4% (22-for-68). UMass dominated in the glass pulling down 54 boards, as compared to Middlebury's 38.
Women's Basketball returns to action tomorrow afternoon when they take on Manhattanville College in the championship game of the UMB Tip-Off tournament. Start time is scheduled for 1 p.m.

A handyman who admitted burning a 73-year-old woman to death in a Brooklyn elevator will spent 50 years to life in prison.
District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced the sentence Friday for Jerome Isaac.
Isaac pleaded guilty to murder. His sentencing was postponed from November while his mental fitness was gauged. He told probation officials he got orders from the devil.
Prosecutors said Isaac attacked Deloris Gillespie because he believed she owed him money. They say he doused her with gasoline, set her on fire and then threw a firebomb inside the elevator.

D10: For Spotify, the Enemy is Piracy, Not iTunes
Spotify is not about competing with iTunes, the company's CEO Daniel Ek asserted at the Wall Street Journal's D10 conference Wednesday afternoon. Instead, it's about replacing the piracy services. Ek, along with Napster founder and Spotify director Sean Parker, discussed the growth of the service and what it means for the music industry as a whole.
Above: Mossberg, Ek, and Parker
Spotify now has 10 million active users, and three million paid users. The United States is important not only because of the size of the market, Ek said, but also because of the number of artists in the country. The service's access model, where people have immediate access to all of the music, is vital. Parker also pushed the advantages of subscriptions, saying "ownership means portability and access everywhere."
Conference host Walt Mossberg noted that the subscription music market hasn't succeeded in the way that downloading and "stealing" have. Why is that? Ek noted that even though the music industry has declined from $45 billion to $15 billion, the consumption of music is greater than it ever has been; people listen to more music from more artists.
People ages 12 to 22 aren't typically buying things on the download sites, but they make up some of the most active users on Spotify, said Parker. Napster set the bar in 1999, and Spotify was the first service Parker saw that met and exceeded that bar, in part because it had the right licensing schemes in Europe.
The catalog now has 18 million songs, growing by 10,000 or 20,000 each day, and users actually listen to about 80 percent of that music.
By letting users curate playlists, they can more easily discover new artists. For instance, people discovered K-Pop (Korean Pop) that way and Steve Martin's banjo music playlist has encouraged others to take notice of that, as well.
Although there are holes in the catalog, Spotify recently added music by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney. Parker said when he first got involved, Ek thought it would take six weeks to strike deals with the U.S. record labels, but he thought it would take 12 weeks. Both vastly underestimated the time; it took two and a half years.
Despite what you might think, labels don't hold a grudge against Parker for Napster because there are new people at the companies and they ultimately "won the battle but lost the war" in shutting down the service.
Parker agreed with Mossberg that there is some truth to the idea that we are moving away from the "album" model and back to the "singles" model. Now, however, the "playlist" model is developing. Mossberg noted this is effectively a "mixtape" but Parker said the difference is that listeners today want every song on the playlist, which wasn't true in the album era.
The distinction between the rental and buying model, or subscriptions and downloads, is a false one, Parker explained. The issue is offering people access to music and letting them do whatever they want with it. In Europe, Spotify sells downloads of playlists.
When asked what Spotify can do that Apple or Amazon can't do, Ek mentioned that the service already has 700,000 playlists. Parker added that its big advantages are its "three-tiered service" and how it integrates social activity (playlists) so tightly into the service. He thinks the "network effect" is a bigger barrier to entry than software patents.
While many complain that artists don't get paid much by Spotify, Ek counters that the service is the second largest digital payer to the music labels in Europe. He noted that artists get paid as the song gets played, which is different.
Parker also talked briefly about a startup called Airtime launching June 5, which sounds like it aims to connect people via video based on their interests. Webcams, connectivity, and social networks are now ubiquitous, and 950 million have filled out forms but their interests have only been used to sell advertising.

Three days ago I received a package from Pat Jordan. Twenty pounds of pecans from the pecan trees in his backyard. Unshelled. The son of a bitch didn't have the decency to include a nutcracker although he had a few suggestive hints how the wife and I could get them open. He did attach a note, however:
"To Whom it May Concern: Send pralines and pecan-bourbon pie to Susan and Pat Jordan, Abbeville, S.C. ASAP."

An alarming number of drug overdoses has officials in one suburban Philadelphia township gearing up for a fight.
In the past month, 63 people in Bensalem, Pa., have overdosed on opioid drugs like heroin and prescription pain killers that include oxycodone and vicodin says township Director of Public Safety Fred Harran.
"It's just unreal," he said. "A couple of weeks ago, we had actually two unrelated deaths in the same day of a heroin overdose and last week we actually made an arrest locking up the people that supplied those individuals with the heroin."
U.S. & World
While heroin is widely known as a dangerous and severely addictive narcotic that's long been a target of the war on drugs, Harran says it's the prescription painkillers that are a bigger source of concern.
"I've had it with these drugs and these people that are overprescribing them," he said. "They are a clear threat, as if they were terrorists, they are a threat to this nation. I don't have an impact nationally, but I'm going to do everything in our power here in Bensalem...to combat these drugs and we're going to push them back and we're going to hold the line."
Between 80 and 90-percent of the crimes committed in the town are tied in one way to drugs, according to Harran. He says the drug seekers are both a mix of local residents and visitors traveling to the town to get high.
Harran and other public safety officials have been meeting to determine an attack plan to cut down on drug use and availability. The director says he's not ready to release every detail about the plan, but said the department's actions would be "groundbreaking."
"We're going after every source that's supplying these drugs to the street," he said. "Every source. And I'm not talking about a back-alley dealer in Kensington. That's not what I'm talking about, because no one is producing vicodin in their garage."
Harran is quick to say that Bensalem is still a safe, family-friendly place and is not the only town facing these opioid drug issues. And he's right.
"We're willing to note that there's a problem nationally and we're going to do our bit locally," he said.
A new report released on Monday from the Trust for America's Health found Pennsylvania has the 14th highest rate of drug overdose deaths. The report found the Commonwealth had 15.3 overdose deaths per 100,000 residents in 2010. Most of those deaths involved the use of prescription drugs.
In Philadelphia, city officials have seen what they call a startling spike in addiction rates, deaths and confiscations by police of opioids like prescription pills and heroin. The city's Office of Addiction Services released findings of a new report on Tuesday that found two-fold increases in overdose deaths related to certian opioid painkillers. The pill addiction is also fueling heroin use in the city, according to officials.
Over a 24-hour period last week, a string of five heroin overdoses struck Camden, N.J. sending the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and Camden County Metro Police scrambling to find where the drug was being sold.
"Law enforcement is working to determine the source of the heroin and in the meantime is issuing a warning that a particularly dangerous type of heroin is being sold in Camden," said prosecutor's office spokesman Jason Laughlin.
Nationally, drug overdose is the leading cause of injury death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Drug overdose deaths have jumped 102-percent from 1999 to 2010 and as of the last reporting in 2010, 60-percent of those deaths were related to pharmaceuticals.
The CDC also found that of the 38,329 overdose deaths in 2010 that involved pharmaceuticals, 75-percent involved some form of opioid.
Back in Pennsylvania, state lawmakers are making a push to provide more oversight to the filling of prescription painkillers.
Rep. Gene DiGirolamo (R-Bucks), who represents Bensalem, has introduced House Bill 1694 that would create the Pharmaceutical Accountability Monitoring System (PAMS).
"This is an absolute epidemic across the state of Pennsylvania. No part of the state has been left out. These prescription drugs, especially these opioid prescription drugs, are all over the place," he said. "It's absolutely fueling another epidemic of heroin because these kids, our young people, are getting hooked on these prescription drugs and switching over to heroin after a time."
"The drug companies are like the minor leagues of the heroin. They're producing all this heroin because these kids are getting hooked on these prescription drugs," he said.
The computer database system would require pharmacists to log every time they dispense a controlled substance. That record would include when a prescription was written, dispensed, the amount dispensed and the dosage as well as information about the patient, the doctor that prescribed it and the pharmacist.
DiGirolamo, who chairs the Pa. House's Human Services committee, says PAMS will allow pharmacists and doctors to look up a person's history of using any addictive drug. They think it will allow them to spot a potential drug abuser ahead of prescribing another set of painkillers.
"At that point they're going to be able to refuse to refill the prescription, refuse to write the prescription and hopefully do some counseling on help and addiction and treatment and where they might be able to go for help," he said.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and federal and state law enforcement officials would also have limited access to PAMS' records as related to an active investigation. It will be run by the state's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.
Similar systems exist in other states, but DiGirolamo says Pennsylvania's legislation is some of the most comprehensive. He's hoping to get the bill put up for a vote in the Pa. House next Wednesday.
"It's just heartbreaking what's going on," he said. "We really got to get a handle on this."

As my colleague Nick Groke noted in a blog on Thursday, Rockies owner Dick Monfort pinned some of the blame for the Rockies' 40-55 record on assistant general manager Bill Geivett.
And there was a lot more to Wednesday's radio interview on 850-AM KOA. Here is some of what Monfort had to say to Dave Logan and Susie Wargin:
His side about interaction with fans, including two controversial email exchanges revealed last week:
"Maybe there's more than what I know, but I've always made a practice for a long time of answering every email that's sent my way. If somebody calls me, if someone wants to sit down with me, I do that all the time.
"I want to be transparent. I want people to know me. I'm not a bad person. I probably have answered this year 500 emails, and there were a couple responses that, to be quite honest, I wasn't as sensitive as I should've been and should have explored more than what I did. … I guess my biggest problem is I do try to be open and honest with people.
"There was one email that got a lot of talk that I said Denver doesn't deserve a team. I truthfully don't remember ever saying that, I don't even recall why I would say that. But anyway, I apologized anyway, because if I said something that even insinuated that, I was wrong."
Defending general manager Dan O'Dowd:
"When I'm judging a man, I'm judging him by his whole job. Unfortunately, in this business, everything is based off wins and losses, and I get that. I'm not saying that's not what he should be judged off.
"But just from what I see, with all of the other GMs, they have committees in Major League Baseball about issues within the game, and (O'Dowd) is front and center on those committees. …
"People say, 'Replace the GM.' OK, that's easily said. But you've got to have a person that in your mind will do you a better job."
On who's responsible for the Rockies' record:
"You would have to say it's Bill Geivett. He's responsible for the major league team. Now, the talent that gets into the major league team, (that) is the responsibility of scouting and development."
On whether all main decision-makers will return next year:
"That's a decision we make later. I still stand by the job that everybody does. There's a lot more to this than what meets the eye. The bottom line to the fans, the bottom line to the sportswriters and everybody else is wins and losses. That's what we've got to get better at."
Is winning the bottom line?
"Oh, absolutely. People think I don't want to win. First of all, I'm competitive. Financially, since everybody knows how greedy I am and how much money I make, think about how much money I'd make if we won a World Series. We want to win. I want to win because I'm passionate about the game. I'm passionate about Denver. I want to be on a winning team. I want to hoist that trophy again. That's why I want to win. I want to win, and because the citizens of this city and this state deserve it."

Examining Your Emergency Cash Reserves
Whether you have a substantial investment portfolio or haven't started investing yet, you need to understand the fundamental building blocks of an investment portfolio. Keeping cash in hand to cover several months' worth of your living expenses, if necessary, is a smart risk management and financial planning concept.
You never know when a catastrophe may strike. A catastrophe affects many aspects of our lives, both personally and financially. In nearly every event, money is part of the solution — sometimes the only solution. Imagine how losing your job or having a new job fall through, not being able to sell your house, having a major medical bill, or having a sick child or pet would impact your financial life. The purpose of having access to money at very short notice is to protect you from risks you can't afford to bear as best as reasonably possible.
The Cash Reserve Options worksheet provided here gives you a listing of the common and not-so-common sources of cash reserves that you could consider in the event of an emergency. Check the box at the left if that resource applies to you, and then enter the approximate dollar amount accessible. Also notice in the right-hand column how quickly those funds could be available to you.
Click here to download and print the Cash Reserve Options Worksheet.
Completing this worksheet helps you explore all traditional avenues for raising cash. The total sum represents how much money would be accessible to you in the event of an emergency.
Now, open the Required Monthly Expenses worksheet. List your actual total monthly expenses. Then divide that amount by the total cash you could raise, from all reliable sources at the same time, to reveal approximately how many months' worth of living expenses you can cover in the event of a catastrophe. How many months can you go without an income?
Click here to download and print the Required Monthly Expenses Worksheet.
If you don't have six months or more coverage, you need to build up cash reserves in the types of accounts that are accessible quickly, with little or no cost to access the funds.
You may also discover that most of the money you can get your hands on would cost you substantially more than you're comfortable paying or would potentially be very risky, and therefore decide that you need more money in safe, immediately available accounts.
There's no one "right" answer for everybody. If you've worked for the federal government for 20 years, your income is considerably more predictable than a real estate agent's or a carpenter's income. The stability of your job, your income, your health, as well as your tolerance for risk, must all be taken into account to determine the "right" amount you should have in cash reserves. If in doubt, play it safe!

A Most Memorable Thanksgiving
9 comments:
Good thing they sent a case of the wine rather than a bottle or two!ReplyDelete
Heather, this is a delightful story. I love watching how families will warm up to one another eventually.
The first time they celebrated Thanksgiving with us, my British in-laws were, I think, a bit overwhelmed by my very large family.
But now the in-laws celebrate (on the Saturday after) our Thanksgiving holiday within their own family in Wales! Why not, everyone loves a good meal, right?!!
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
What a fantastic story! I'll keep this one in mind if we ever have a power failure on Thanksgiving. And anyway, we live not far from a 7-11 - can always walk there and put together an impromptu meal!ReplyDelete
Heather, that is a great and hilarious story!ReplyDelete
A great story.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed your story so much I laughed out loud and then read the story to my husband, who also laughed at it. What a great memory to have and cherish. Thanks for sharing it with us in the COG, Heather!ReplyDelete
What a great Thanksgiving! Maybe we will lay in a case of Spanish wine for our next feast, even if the lights don't go out!ReplyDelete
Reminded me of long ago at our lake cabin, the electricity had a habit of going out about 11 a.m. on Saturdays, but our next door neighbor was on a different power line and almost always had power, so we would take the food over there to finish cooking. After that happened a few times we got a propane stove and oven and got rid of the electric stove.ReplyDelete
This is a complete delight. I can't imagine improving on it - except perhaps to make sure your mother has a couple more glasses of wine so that she forgets the power outage.ReplyDelete
This is clearly the best Thanksgiving ever. Everyone cozies up against the elements. I love the way the turkey makes a surprise appearance at the last moment! With snow, Spanish wine, blankets, cheese, and crackers, what else does a body need?? Fantastic.ReplyDelete

I've written up a new short (14 pages) chapter for the Differential Equations textbook. I've put a draft on the web for my students as I'll start covering it tomorrow (it's only going to be 2 lectures, though the chapter should be usable for up to 3 lectures).
I suppose after Monday (after I finish lecturing on it), I'll feel good enough about it to post a new version of the whole book with the chapter 7 in there.
I've caught quite a few typos and errors in the book this quarter, though I would say not any more than one can find in any first edition textbook. It seems that commercial publishers are very good at catching English grammar errors, but are terrible at catching mathematical mistakes. My book has probably more bad English than your average textbook. But I'm now feeling pretty good now about the mathematical content being correct.
A funky news is that apparently someone at Dartmouth College is planning to use the book for a course in their Winter term. I only heard from the bookstore that they asked if they can make copies of the book for the students, not actually from the instructor. I wonder how many courses have already used the book. I only know of a few …

The Federal Communications Commission is struggling to keep up with wireless device authorizations as new mobile devices of all kinds swamp the market.
In order to keep up, the agency has had to increase the pool of company-specific identification codes, which was in danger of being exhausted, according to an announcement issued this week.
FCC also is exploring new ways to approve devices as its current resources for evaluating equipment is strained. Two areas the agency is studying are clarifying or modifying the administrative requirements and the responsibilities of the Telecommunications Certification Bodies that perform equipment certification.
Related stories:
2012 outlook for mobile data traffic
Smart phones for multiple networks? FCC mulls changes.
The number of new codes issued annually has risen from 954 in 2006 to 1,275 last year. Devices requiring codes "range from cell phones and police and marine radios, to computers and microtransmitters placed in computers, to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, to implanted wireless medical devices, to remote-control devices, to security tags, to inventory trackers, and many more in variety and number," the agency said in its release.
Equipment authorization codes are issued by the FCC to regulate usage of the radio frequency spectrum. The codes apply to such things as electric guitars and amplifiers as well as mobile communications devices, and ensure, for instance, that handsets are compatible with hearing aids, the FCC said.
Mobile devices requiring codes cannot be imported or marketed unless they comply with FCC regulations to operate properly and not create harmful interference.
Separately, on the same day, the FCC announced proposed rules on improving usage of the 4.9 GHz band for public safety communications.
"Using 4.9 GHz spectrum, public safety users can set up temporary mesh networks that support data, voice, and video communications at scenes of emergencies; monitor sensitive locations remotely with point-to-point video links; and set up citywide Wi-Fi networks to give first responders dedicated broadband access," the release states. "The 4.9 GHz spectrum holds great potential to complement the national public safety broadband network for backhaul; facilitate safer operation of our nation's critical infrastructure and utilities; and provide wireless broadband connectivity in remote or sparsely populated locations."
The FCC is seeking comments in several areas, including usage by the First Responder Network Authority and direct licensing by non-public-safety agencies. Specifically, the agency is seeking comment on whether FirstNet is or should be eligible for a 4.9 GHz band license, particularly for backhaul links in support of the 700 MHz network.
Also, the commission tentatively concluded that allowing non-public-safety entities to obtain licenses directly rather than entering into sharing arrangements with public safety licensees would remove a barrier to entry and stimulate more investment in the band.
Recently, a bipartisan group from the House Appropriations Committee requested the FCC look into swapping mobile broadband provider LightSquared's spectrum for more suitable airwaves controlled by the Defense Department, IDG News Service reported.
LightSquared planned to build a nationwide 4G LTE mobile network but its plans were shot down by the FCC in February because its network would interfere with a wide range of Global Positioning System transmission, GCN reported at the time.

This is maybe not really research level, but I have not found anything in the literature, and asking on math.stackexchange wasn't successful either.
Fourier series define an isometry $L^2(\mathbb{Z}) \rightarrow L^2(S^1), (a_k)_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} \mapsto \sum a_k z^k \colon S^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ (all Hilbert spaces are complex). It is known (and easy) that, when we start with a sequence $a_k$ which is actually in $L^1(\mathbb{Z})$, we end up with a continuous function on $S^1$. My question is: What more can we say about sequences $a_k$ whose associated Fourier series is a continuous function on $S^1$? In particular, is there an easily checkable if and only if-criterion? I would guess that not, but I have never seen such a question discussed in the literature.

City Council members last night approved debt relief of $7.5 million. Lial Jones is Director of the Crocker Art Museum.
"In exchange for giving up parking revenues and Crocker Trust Property joint control of parking lots in the vicinity of the museum we are having $5 million of our loan alleviated."
Jones says another $2.5 million has the potential of being forgiven: for every dollar that the Crocker adds to its endowment, a dollar will come off of the loan.
Jones says the parking spaces won't change for the foreseeable future. But they were among the properties offered to the new Sacramento Kings ownership group as part of the arena deal.

You are right, I am terribly wrong. I don't understand(nor feel) art very well. The only art for me is those that inspires/impress me, it stays in my mind for a long time.
And I can't see except ugliness in that picture . Maybe it is the way it is drawn (the colors,shades,quality) that makes the "art"?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Orlando Johnson scored 23 points and James Nunnally had 18, including 13 to spark a strong first half charge, as UC Santa Barbara beat visiting Cal State Fullerton in a Big West Conference game on Thursday night.
The Gauchos (7-5 overall, 2-0 in Big West) ended the Fullerton's (10-4 overall, 2-1 in Big West) seven-game winning streak and they did it with defense.
"The first half I thought we played really good defense," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "They (the Titans) are a very good offensive team, one of the best in our league, so we knew if we were going to win, we were going to need one of our best defensive efforts of the season."
Fullerton entered the game averaging 80.1 points per game, shooting 49.5% overall and 39.0% from three-point range. The Titans were held more than 17 points below their scoring average and to 34.3% shooting from the field, more than 15-percent below their mark for the season. In the first half, they made just 8-of-35 field goal attempts overall and 1-of-10 from three-point range.
The Gauchos struggled offensively in the first half, but led by Nunnally and Keegan Hornbuckle, rallied to take a 35-21 lead at the break.
After missing their first four shots and falling behind early, UCSB ended the first half on a 24-7 run to take a 35-21 lead. Nunnally scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half while Hornbuckle added nine, his total for the game.
The Gauchos opened the second half on an 8-3 run to seize their biggest lead of the game, 43-24. But a 9-0 surge by the Titans was capped by a D.J. Seeley layup and the lead was back to 10, 43-33 with 15:09 to play.
Kyle Boswell made a hanging jumper from just inside the free throw line to end Fullerton's rally and the lead never dipped below eight the rest of the way.
The win may have come at a cost to UCSB. With 12:10 left in the game, senior forward Jaimé Serna scored on a driving layup and was fouled by Fullerton's André Hardy. Serna fell to the floor, landing on his right hand. He left the game and didn't return. The extent of the injury was not yet known.
The final basket by Serna gave him eight points on 3-of-4 shooting. He also added eight rebounds. Nunnally added eight rebounds to his 18 points and freshman Alan Williams also finished with eight boards. Johnson, who made just 5-of-18 field goal attempts, made his final 10 free throw attempts to finish 10-of-11. He added six rebounds and four assists to his game-high 23 points. Nate Garth had five assists for UCSB.
As a team, the Gauchos made 46.3% of their shots, including 8-of-16 from three-point land. Nunnally and Johnson each had three three-point baskets.
Fullerton was led by Isiah Umppig who had 18 points while Seeley had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Kwame Vaughn added 12 points and five assists and Hardy had eight points and 10 rebounds.
The Gauchos will be off until they travel to UC Riverside for a Big West game on Thursday, Jan. 12. The game will tipoff at 7:00 p.m. and can be heard live on KZSB 1290 AM in Santa Barbara. The pregame show starts 30 minutes prior to game time.
UCSB returns home on Saturday, Jan. 14 to host UC Irvine in 7:00 p.m. game. Tickets for that contest are available from the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB(8272) or online by clicking here.

I like minotaurs, but I don't like shocks. Everyone likes surprises. But shocks mean something bad usually don't they? Whereas minotaurs seem like fun on the page at least. But then I wouldn't be too pleased if I had one roaming my neighbourhood. It might be quite cool I guess, at first. Something to mention to curious visitors. Until you got gored by one on your way back from the pub. So it's a good job they aren't real. Although it would give rise to a special police squad called the Minotaur Squad - you'd see them cruising the streets slowly at night with a big net-gun thing on the back of the car, and a spotlight searching front gardens and hedgerows for the glint of those mad red eyes and razor sharp horns. You would see them (ahem) especially by the DOCKS*.
'Maritime' is an anodyne, soporific marine tour around the bay of perky folktronica (sorry to say 'folktronica', I know people don't like it, but I love new made-up genres, so there). Synth laps up against the hull, and the salt on your lips tastes like accordion. Now and then there are some choppy drums, but the majority of the time it's a plain sailing. The waters aren't so smooth that you feel as though the good ship Maritime is ploughing it's way through sickly Lemon Jelly - there's a goodly amount of tacking and weaving going on in the song structures and timing changes, more than enough to keep the listener on their toes.
All in all, it's a nice day out, but it's not something you'd want to do all the time. It drags a little, it meanders a touch too often, and you are left wondering if there is anyone at the helm at all. While it's pleasing enough in terms of textures and style, 'Maritime' can feel a touch directionless at times. Adrift! Lost at sea! And being lost at sea is not good.
Which is one reason why, I guess, most people don't live on boats.

SAN DIEGO (AP) Tiger Woods made it look easy in the rain Friday on the North Course at Torrey Pines and finished his day atop the leaderboard in the Farmers Insurance Open.
Woods put himself into great position going into the weekend with a 7-under 65. He finished his second round with the lead, though several players were still on the soggy courses. One of them was Ross Fisher of England, who was two shots out of the lead with five holes remaining on the South Course.
For the second straight day, Woods played a five-hole stretch in 5-under par. This time, he finished strongly. After his lone bogey on the par-4 eighth hole, he hit 5-wood onto the ninth green for a two-putt birdie to reach 11-under 133.

Honoring Stellar Students
Comrie also noted that even at this early stage of life, Wright has been involved in a lot of community work. "He has a great personality and a positive outlook on life, and we wanted to bring him down to congratulate him on his community outreach so far and on his scholarship,� Comrie concluded.
(Picture on right shows Shaelon Wright, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Wright's mother Rachel Jefferson)
On a recent afternoon at City Hall, Deputy Majority Leader Leroy Comrie brought forward in the Council Chamber Junior High School graduate Shaelon Wright to receive a proclamation in honor of his having won a coveted education scholarship from the Alpha Sigma Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity.
Quoting the well-known saying that it "takes a village to raise a child,� Comrie declared, "We want to congratulate the Boulé for reaching out and being that village, ensuring that this young man knows that as long as he continues to get good grades, he will have a guaranteed college scholarship.�
Comrie explained that while the scholarship entitles Wright to four years at a private high school as well as eight years of college, Wright wants to experience a public high school before moving on to college. He has chosen to follow his uncle, Dr. Jonathan Jefferson, to Thomas Edison High School where he will pursue his interests in computer animation, mathematics and English literature.
Comrie also noted that even at this early stage of life, Wright has been involved in a lot of community work. "He has a great personality and a positive outlook on life, and we wanted to bring him down to congratulate him on his community outreach so far and on his scholarship,� Comrie concluded.
As the proclamation states, Shaelon Wright attended Allen A.M.E. Christian School and Kings Academy Christian School in Harlem and is a graduate of IS 192, the Renaissance Middle School. He has received tremendous inspiration and assistance from his parents, Rachel Jefferson and William Wright, Jr.; his grandmother, Doris Wright; his grandfather, Thomas Jefferson, and other family members.
Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, which was founded in 1904 by African American graduates in medicine, law and other professions, has included some of the most prominent Black professionals in the nation. Among the past and present members are Dr. W.E.B. DuBois, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., former Mayor David Dinkins, Arthur Ashe, Rev. Calvin Butts and Marc Morial. The fraternity believes in "giving back� by sharing the success of its members with well-deserving individuals and groups.
The proclamation concludes: "Shaelon Wright's success and thirst for knowledge exemplifies the best of his generation. Now, therefore, be it known that the Council of the City of New York congratulates him on receiving this prestigious award from the "Archons� of the Alpha Sigma Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, and commends his supportive family, his educators and the fraternity for providing the inspiration and encouragement that is ensuring this young student's success.�
A citation was also given to Johnson Nelson, President of the Alpha Sigma Boulé, who said that they like to find young men with potential and intervene when they are young to ensure that they have the proper encouragement and incentive to do their best. "As the phrase goes, we want them to be all that they can be,� Nelson commented, "and it is our pleasure to select such a fine young man who has such a wonderful support group. We have very high expectations, and we want him to know that we are committed to his future success, which we are sure will happen.�
In accepting his award Shaelon Wright was brief and to the point. "I thank the City Council for its proclamation and the Boulé for giving me the scholarship,� he said. "I appreciate it.

Historic items interpret history in the new Lincoln Heritage Museum
By Ron J. Keller,
Lincoln Heritage Museum director
Send a link to a friend
28, 2014]
Lincoln Heritage Museum hosted a grand reopening on Saturday. The
new museum design is much different from that experienced by
visitors to the former facility, and the experience will be quite
different from visiting other museums.
The Lincoln Heritage Museum of the past offered visitors a
singular type of experience, with many rare Abraham Lincoln and 19th-century pieces exhibited in tabletop display cases. While our
museum has for years collected, maintained and exhibited one of the
greatest collections of Lincolniana that exists in any public or
private collection, these items deserved to be displayed in a way
that provides greater historical context so the public might truly
appreciate the significance of each piece.
The museum has now achieved that. The new museum, on its first-floor
level, continues the tradition of spotlighting original artifacts,
but in a way that interprets history and gives deeper meaning to
these 19th-century artifacts.
The mission and vision of the Lincoln Heritage Museum is to
interpret for visitors the life and legacy of Abraham
Lincoln. Similar to the mission of the Looking for Lincoln Heritage
Coalition, the Lincoln Heritage Museum interprets —
or rather, tells
personal stories about —
Lincoln's life and those with whom he came
into contact. The artifacts displayed in the museum have been used
by people, and each item has a story to tell. Collectively, they
give visitors a greater perspective on 19th-century life and
the world in which Abraham Lincoln lived.
Though history rightly gives Lincoln credit for his crucial roles in
saving the Union and freeing slaves, it is the character qualities
he developed that make his life worth emulating. As character
education continues to be a major component in schools, the new
Lincoln Heritage Museum emphasizes those key character qualities
associated with Lincoln's life. Perseverance, intellect, vision,
leadership, honesty and empathy are character traits focused upon
throughout the museum. Over 100 unique pieces are displayed in the
museum, and most are in some way directly associated with one of
these character qualities.
One characteristic often associated with Lincoln is intellect.
Though he had less than a year of formal schooling, Lincoln
demonstrated a lifelong commitment to learning. He borrowed all the
books he could find, and as a young man he received tutelage from
learned neighbors.
Among those Lincoln gravitated toward while
living in New Salem was schoolteacher Mentor Graham. At a table in
Graham's home, the two sat while Graham exposed Lincoln to the finer
points of mathematics, which would enable Lincoln to eventually
embark upon a surveying career.
At that table, Lincoln also received education in grammar, which would
result in his powerful use of language in his speeches and
writings. Lincoln read about some of the great thinkers of history,
propelling him to adopt some of their ideas and formulate his
own philosophy on government, law and humanity. In many ways,
Lincoln got his start at that table, which is on exhibit in the
Lincoln Heritage Museum.
[to top of second column]
We introduce Mentor Graham and the importance of that table
to Lincoln, and it is featured in a case titled "Intellect." A
table is just a table, but the stories and character trait
breathe new life into the table as a significant historical
object. Similar objects, such as a book showing a description of
Lincoln's patent and one of his law books, also illustrate
Lincoln's intellect.
Another trait highlighted in the museum is Lincoln's vision. In
his first known political campaign speech, in 1832, Lincoln
offered his political platform — which was quite visionary in
scope for what was then a sparsely inhabited frontier region.
Included in Lincoln's vision for his state and for the country
was a call for internal improvements like building roads and
making rivers navigable, which would help ordinary pioneer
farmers and merchants increase their commercial interests and
become profitable.
While Lincoln served as a member of the
Illinois Legislature, representing central Illinois, he proudly rang
the bell for internal improvements. In 1839, as a member of the
Committee on Finance, Lincoln advanced the Whig Party philosophy of
the government's obligation to provide internal improvements. He
gave to the state General Assembly a report proposing that the
federal government purchase unused lands in Illinois to develop them
for the purpose of building up the infrastructure, and thus put
Illinois on a commercial footing comparable with the East. The
museum displays that report. By itself, this document is one of many
such legislative committee reports; but placed in context, it
becomes apparent that Lincoln was advancing a method by which the
state and nation could further progress, and it demonstrates his
philosophy and his vision.
Items such as these are now housed in
conservation-friendly cases built specifically for the museum. These
cases contain display areas with interchangeable acrylic graphics,
are environmentally sealed and have museum-appropriate lighting.
They display the museum's valuable artifacts in a way that
interprets history and deepens the meaning of the past, all of which
serve to further the appreciation for the life and legacy of Abraham
[By RON KELLER, museum director,

Following last month's news of the impending cancellation of "The Soup," host Joel McHale noted that the show's final installment would be Dec. 18. "They gave us the night 'Star Wars' opens to say goodbye," he scoffed.
Timing, in comedy as in life, is everything. Now the clock has run out on a show both of its time and, in some ways, ahead of it.
"The Soup" arrived on E! 11 years ago, as an extension of sorts of "Talk Soup," which ran from 1991 to 2002. While "Talk Soup" made fun of clips from daytime talk show circuses, "The Soup" added multiple rings, becoming an all-purpose pop-culture mockery spectacle.
U.S. & World
McHale and his writers targeted home shopping shows, TV judges, Bigfoot hunters, telenovelas and fluffy local morning programs, among other genres.
But the explosion of Reality TV provided the main ingredient of "The Soup." The show gave E! an in-house forum to lampoon the Kardashian empire. (Sounding a recurring theme, the ever-sarcastic McHale last week derided Kourtney Kardashian's new app as "another Kardashian ploy to make money off of doing nothing but existing.")
"The Soup" humorously highlighted absurdity of television on television while tapping into the Internet-driven ethos of online snark. The TV-Internet melding has morphed since the debut of "The Soup." Now we have Daniel Tosh to lampoon online lowlights on Comedy Central's "Tosh.0." Meanwhile, "Saturday Night Live" has become more pop culture- and web-driven in recent years. The same can be said for "The Tonight Show" under Jimmy Fallon.
Whether that all made "The Soup" less necessary or whether the show just ran its course after more than a decade, is unclear. What's more certain is that "The Soup" left a modest mark by turning TV's mindless guilty pleasures into a clever guilty pleasure all its own. Check out a preview of the show's hour-long goodbye special as McHale and company vie to prove they can still dish it out to the bitter end.

I'm really excited to bring this unit on the market tomorrow! Many of you have heard of 2200 Westlake. Its located in South Lake Union at the intersection of Denny and Westlake. It sits above the Paul Allen/Vulcan development with Whole Foods at the base:
There are three towers that have condos. 33 units above the Pan Pacific Hotel, 102 in the Azur and 112 in Arte. The unit is in the Arte tower (south). What I love the most about this unit is that it has its own private access off of Lenora!
See the picture here:
The entire balcony that you see belongs to this unit. Being that it is a corner unit, not only is the access superior but the light from both sides of the building is phenomenal as well. The layout of the unit is unique and with 20 foot ceilings it feels much bigger then the 1,313sf that it offers.
I've built a website for this exact property. Check it out and let me know what you think!

This cascading installation is one of the most massive produced by Sheila Hicks since she began working with textiles, or "supple materials" as she refers to her medium, in the late 1950s. As with many of her other large-scale works, Hicks designed the piece with the architecture of the gallery in mind. Of interest to her here are the coffered, open design of the ceiling and the sense of solidity she found in the stone floor. By extending the cords so they unfurl from the ceiling and coil on the floor, she hopes to activate viewers' awareness of these architectural elements.
Trained as a painter, Hicks became interested in global, and particularly South American, textile traditions, going on to develop her distinctive merger of painting, sculpture, drawing, and weaving. For her, the way that the richly colored lines of her pieces move and intersect is a form of drawing in three dimensions.
Also on view in the Biennial are four smaller works by Hicks, made from threads of silk, paper, pineapple fiber, and cotton.
Sheila Hicks's work is on view in the Museum's fourth floor galleries.

37th annual Zion Lutheran pancake breakfast enjoys
huge success
Album 1

[February 03, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
Not sleet, snow or freezing
rain could stop the crowds from coming out for the 37th annual Zion
Lutheran pancake and sausage breakfast. If anything, the
frigid, nasty weather made the thought of fresh, hot pancakes and the
special homemade sausage all the more appealing.
Principal Steve Schumacher stood watch at the
front door and said the crowds had been good all through the
Pictures by Nila Smith
Volunteers man the meat room, where guests
could purchase the handmade sausage to take home and cook anytime.
These two teenagers help count out the tickets
And there are plenty to keep them both
These cute little handmade hats were getting
a fair share of attention from bidders.
