This year there seems to be more confusion than collusion when it comes to determining the borderline between Summer's end and Autumn's dawn. Recently, I made a break from San Francisco's foggy cold summer to spend some time basking in the high August sunshine on the Carolina coastline. It was with much distress that before I had even returned to California I couldn't help but clock the sudden emergence of all things Halloween on my Summer radar. Browsing the beer aisle had become an exercise in dodging pumpkin brews, hitting the local corner store for a sunblock re-up meant traipsing through a spooktacular displays replete with bulk candies, even a beloved backroad farmer's market had transformed itself, within the span of a week, from sunny Summer fruit central into a homespun Halloween headquarters. What [expletive] gives?
All this is leading up to the total relief I felt upon seeing the merry music video for "Kim Chee Taco Man" earlier this week, the first bit of music released from Kelley Stoltz's upcoming album Double Exposure (drops 9/24 on Third Man Records). The video, co-starring Grace Cooper of The Sandwitches, is enjoyably humorous and all but what really struck me is the breezy, endless summer vibe of the track mixed with the familiar voices, faces and places indicative of a fully made in San Francisco production. What's more, I feel that the timing of this little ray of light has restored my faith in the season. We may not enjoy much in the way of a visual display of change as the wheel of the year turns, but just like the Kim Chee Taco Man's disciples in the video, we relish, with gusto, those goodies bestowed to us from on high, whether they be gifted from gourmet gurus or simply the results atmospheric stability. In any case, from September to October, I've got to give it up for Summer in San Francisco!

Radiohead are preparing to record a new album at the end of the summer.
Radiohead are preparing to record a new album.
The 'Lotus Flower' band will regroup at the end of the summer to start work on their first new tracks since 2011.
Bass player Colin Greenwood told BBC Radio 6 Music: ''We're taking some time out whilst people are doing some other stuff, doing their own things, and the plan is to get back together again [at the] end of the summer.''
Radiohead - Colin, brother Johnny Greenwood, Thom Yorke, Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien - released their eighth album, 'The King Of Limbs', in 2011 and played a world tour last year.
The band are currently taking a break while the individual members work on different projects.
Perhaps the band will take a more commercial direction with their next album, as Thom has previously admitted 'The King of Limbs' divided their fanbase.
He said: ''I can see why it's alienated people. I didn't realise it was on its own planet.
''It was amazing just to put the record out like that. But then it didn't feel like it really existed.
''But that was the consequence of what we chose to do. You can either get upset about it, or say, 'well, that's not good enough.'''

UAlbany Recognized Nationally for Community Involvement and Student Engagement
Janine Jurkowski, center, associate professor in the School of Public Health, and Communities for Healthy Living co-principal investigator Kirsten Davison speak with a community member at a spring event of the Commission on Economic Opportunities, Capital District.
Albany, N.Y. (March 20, 2012) – The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) named the University at Albany to the 2012 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. UAlbany garnered the national recognition through efforts which included three programs addressing community issues and involving extensive student engagement: a community healthy living program; a peer-assistance counseling service; and an urban planning program.
CNCS recognized UAlbany and its students, faculty and staff for meaningful service that achieved measurable results in the community during the 2010-11 academic year. An estimated total of nearly 7,400 UAlbany students participated in community service through volunteer work, courses and internships. The three programs featured, all of which involve community partners, were:
- Communities for Healthy Living (CHL). CHL is a community-based, participatory program involving both research and action initiated by the School of Public Health. Supported by a federal grant, it empowers families with children attending Head Start in Rensselaer County to reduce obesity and promote healthy lifestyles. In 2010-11, over 30 students, faculty and staff worked with 700 parents and children on educational activities.
A group from the Urban and Regional Planning Program, joined by Roger Markovics of United Tenants of Albany (foreground) and Arlene Way of Arbor Hill Development Corporation (far left) study a tile manufacturing factory in Arbor Hill's Sheridan Hollow.
- Middle Earth Peer Assistance Program (MEPA). Created in 1970, MEPA provides student-staffed and professionally supervised hotline services and peer education to the Albany region and beyond. In 2010-11, nearly 200 students and faculty assisted more than 870 individuals in the community with mental illness, alcohol/drug abuse and other issues. Counseling Center psychologists ensure service quality through School of Education courses.
- Urban and Regional Planning Program in Arbor Hill and the South End. Nearly 30 years old, the program works to improve the quality of life in low-income communities through planning studios and course-based research. In 2010-11, 30 students dedicated more than 2,800 hours to two neighborhoods. They surveyed the needs of 35 businesses, and the conditions and use of 600 properties, as well as the quality/affordability of healthy foods in ten eateries.
UAlbany President George M. Philip lauded the CNCS designation. "This honor reflects the strong commitment of our students, faculty and staff as partners for improving community well-being whether, through research, teaching or service," said Philip. "It underscores the fact that student community service is an integral part of who we are as an institution."
CNCS oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact, and the American Council on Education.
Nationally, 642 applicants were admitted to the 2012 Honor Roll. Honorees are chosen based on the scope and innovation of service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, a school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of the service.

Art is as art does, and sometimes we find it in the most unusual of places: Wallace Shawn, for instance, brought lower Manhattan audiences into posh bourgeois apartments to stage The Fever; Wayne Coyne gathered Flaming Lips fans into an Austin parking garage for his Zaireeka boom-box experiment; and another Wayne — Wayne Vajgert of Springfield — is hoping local art aficionados are willing to wander outside the gallery scene in order to view his growing collection of outlaw art.
Chicago-born Vajgert is owner and proprietor of Sweet Illusions, a Springfield nightclub that features dancing of the not-exactly-balletic persuasion — as in, yes, a strip bar, with stage, steely pole and the whole bada bing. For the past eight years or so, Vajgert, who has a master's degree in speech therapy from the UO, has been tracking down works of graphic art that focus on the sublime geometry of the female form, and his collection now includes prints from late Playboy illustrator Alberto Vargas, lithographic pin-up postcards from the '30s and '40s (soldiers in WWII copied these "bombshells" onto the noses of planes) and Chinese pen-and-ink portraits that are sparse and highly stylized.
But it's his expanding collection of prisoner art that this sweet illusionist most wants to share. About three years back, Vajgert began receiving boxes via snail mail containing prints drawn by a friend who was serving out a term at the federal pen in Florence, Colo.; he says the drawings started as a means of passing time, but it became something more. "You need to figure out something you really like doing," Vajgert says, adding that he urged his friend to keep sending him his work. Soon that friend was sending drawings and paintings by other prisoners, essentially playing agent and middleman to Vajgert the collector. Most of the work now comes from a federal penitentiary in Florida.
Sweet Illusions doesn't have the typical bleach-and-blacklight ambiance of your average strip club; the place is clean, classy and well-appointed (Vajgert notes that he painted the walls a "peaceful" lavender, as opposed to the "aggressive" black of most nightclubs). Of course, the club's raison d'etre is its three-dimensional appeal, and you can argue all day about whether the come-hither slithering of a naked dancer qualifies as art. But tear your eyes away from the thumpa-thumpa on stage, and you'll notice a fine decorative flair about the place, the most noticeable aspect of which is the collection of framed prints on the wall.
"It's pretty stuff to see," Vajgert says of his art collection. He leads me on a tour around the club, and as we reconnoiter the rim, as it were, Vajgert waxes poetic about the aesthetics and history of each individual piece. Perhaps in keeping with the punitive praxis of our penal code, none of the pieces by prisoners are titled or attributed; this anonymity somehow adds to the mimetic oomph of drawings birthed behind bars.
Kafka, with his scarification and beetles, may have contemplated the nightmare of endless incarceration, but these guys down Florida way — they live it, and it shows in their amateur but surprisingly sharp and sophisticated drawings. Many of the prisoners, Vajgert says, are forced to fashion their own media, seeing as they aren't allowed the potential weaponry of pencils or other sharp objects; same with colors. Common themes thread through the work: muscle cars and big hogs; hyperbolic religious symbolism; the passage of time; and, of course, women. Gangs and gang insignia also play a large part in the collection of prisoner art, though, as Vajgert says, "If it's gang-related I can't put it up." Remember: lavender walls.
Obviously, prison prints hung in a strip bar are not your typical art-walky milieu, but Vajgert is banking on the eye-of-the-beholder liberalism of local art patrons; he says he's hoping folks at least drop by and check it out. After all, he says, at Sweet Illusions, "there's no cover charge." What's more, and more importantly, he adds, "It's pretty stuff to see. If they don't like the prison drawings, they might like the Chinese artwork."

Rock Garden Retreat necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 101 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
We are starting a vacation rental in the Palm Springs area. This is a private home with a pool and hot tub. Since it's located in the high desert, mountains, boulders, agave, bouganvilla, and palm trees are all good themes. Something that also reflects relaxing in the sun and playing in a pool is also a possibility.
Rock Garden Retreat
This will be a logo we will use on our web site, our stationary, our guest comment cards and on our business cards. Given the logo, I can handle the rest of the design. So the logo just needs to be flexible for those contexts. We are hoping to get something distinctive enough that we can have our own unique identity.
- It should feature the name more prominently than the web address.
- It should contain our website http://www.rockgardenretreat.com
- something that works in grey scale as well as color (if color is used)
- vector format so we can output multiple resolutions for print and web
- something that won't reproduce in grey scale (i.e. all bright vivid colors)

Once an astronaut, always an astronaut, right?
Four decades later, we still think of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as astronauts.
But the same standard may not apply in California. A Republican law firm has gone to court to prevent a former NASA astronaut, Jose Hernandez, from listing "astronaut" as one of his professions on the ballot.
U.S. & World
The argument, as detailed in the Fresno Bee, is that since Hernandez, from the San Joaquin Valley, has not been on the NASA payroll in more than a year, he no longer qualifies as an astronaut.
Election law says that candidates should list their current profession.
If that standard holds, it means that, at least in California, there are no astronauts anymore. The space shuttle -- upon which Hernandez flew in 2009 -- has been grounded for good. America's manned space program is, for now, over.
Of course, even if Hernandez loses, the lawsuit may help him -- by fueling news coverage and controversy that reminds people that he was an astronaut.
That's good for a first-time candidate -- and engineer by training -- who is running on his biography rather than any discernible agenda (my own attempts to get him to talk and explain his positions on issues have gone nowhere).

About Bernards Twp. (Basking Ridge)
Basking Ridge in Bernards Township has retained its small-town charm for over 200 years. Most of the shops, restaurants, and services along tree-lined South Finley Avenue are located in historic 19th-century houses. In fact, the downtown area has so much history that it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
Bernards Township was originally formed by Royal Charter as Bernardston Township. The name Bernards Township was given to the area in 1760 by King George II to honor Sir Francis Bernard, Provincial Governor of New Jersey from 1758 to 1760. It was incorporated as Bernards Township in 1798. Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons, and West Millington are located within Bernards Township, while Martinsville is split between Bernards and Bridgewater Townships.
Even though maps indicate that Basking Ridge is a small commercial district in the northeast section of Bernards, about 95% of the township is referred to as Basking Ridge and has a Basking Ridge postal address. The only major parts of Bernards that do not have Basking Ridge addresses are the Veterans Administration Hospital in Lyons and Liberty Corner, a small historic district in the southern portion of the township.
The Bernards Township municipal building on Collyer Lane is housed in a circa 1912 brick Tudor mansion detailed with French pocket doors, maple and mahogany paneling, and marble fireplaces. The house and its 28 acres were sold to the township by John Jacob Astor VI for $140,000 in 1968.Back to top

Washington, D.C. — This October, The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize salutes Ellen DeGeneres. The program airs Tuesday, October 30 at 8 p.m. ET on PBS stations nationwide. Taped at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on October 22, the 90-minute special features a star-studded cast of DeGeneres' friends and colleagues including top entertainers Kristin Chenoweth, Steve Harvey, Sean Hayes, Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, Jason Mraz and Lily Tomlin. The evening pays tribute to the humor and accomplishments of the television icon and motion picture star.
Upon learning she would receive the Mark Twain Prize, Ellen DeGeneres remarked, "It's such an honor to receive the Mark Twain Prize. To get the same award that has been given to people like Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell, it really makes me wonder… why didn't I get this sooner?"
Ellen DeGeneres' distinctive comic voice has resonated with audiences from her first stand-up comedy appearances through her work today on television, in film and in the literary world. She has made a home for herself in the daytime arena with her hit syndicated talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The show entered its ninth season in September, fresh off winning the Daytime Emmy for "Outstanding Talk Show." During its eight seasons, the show has earned a total of 35 Daytime Emmy Awards. Additionally, DeGeneres has won 12 People's Choice Awards and most recently, the Teen Choice Award for "Choice Comedian" for a third consecutive year. Additionally, the show has won two Genesis Awards and a GLAAD Media Award for "Outstanding Talk Show Episode."
DeGeneres has been included in Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women and was also included in Entertainment Weekly's 50 Most Powerful Entertainers. She was honored with Television Week's Syndication Personality of the Year and has been included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People.
She hosted the highly rated 79th Annual Academy Awards® and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program." In addition to hosting the Oscars, DeGeneres has hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards three times. Her performance hosting the 2001 awards show garnered her rave reviews for providing a perfect balance of wit with heartfelt emotion to the post-September 11th telecast audience. DeGeneres served as host for an array of industry events including the 38th and 39th Annual Grammy® Awards®, for which she earned an Emmy nomination.
DeGeneres also received critical success for her HBO stand-up specials. The Beginning received two Emmy nominations in 2001 and the special entitled Here and Now was also nominated for two Emmys in 2003.
The best-selling author released her third book in October 2012 titled, Seriously…I'm Kidding, which includes a compilation of photos, quotes and stories from her life. Her second book, The Funny Thing Is…., comprised of the author's comedic short stories and essays hit the New York Times' bestseller list upon its release. In 2005, DeGeneres was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for the audio version of the book. Her first book, My Point…And I Do Have One, published in 1995, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
DeGeneres' career began as an emcee at a local comedy club in her hometown of New Orleans, which led to national recognition in 1982 when her videotaped club performances won Showtime's "Funniest Person In America" honor. When DeGeneres moved to Los Angeles she filmed her first HBO Special, Young Comedians Reunion, then in 1986 Women of the Night. That same year, DeGeneres became the first female comedian to be summoned by Johnny Carson to sit down with him after her performance.
DeGeneres began her acting career in television on Fox's sitcom, Open House. She moved on to ABC's Laurie Hill, prior to being offered a part on These Friends of Mine by ABC. After the first season, the show was renamed Ellen. Running from 1994 to 1998, the show garnered record ratings, with DeGeneres receiving Emmy nominations each season in the Best Actress category. In 1997, DeGeneres was the recipient of the coveted Peabody Award as well as earning an Emmy for writing the critically acclaimed "Puppy Episode" when her character came out as a gay woman to a record 46 million viewers. DeGeneres followed with the CBS sitcom, The Ellen Show, which ran from 2001 to 2002.
In the course of producing and starring in Ellen, DeGeneres received numerous accolades including The People's Choice Award in 1995, two Golden Globe nominations and two Screen Actors Guild nominations. Other television credits include Executive Producing and starring with Sharon Stone in the Emmy nominated If These Walls Could Talk II for HBO as well as a guest appearance on the Larry Sanders Show, for which she received another Emmy nomination. DeGeneres also served as the fourth judge on American Idol during its ninth season. The judging panel included, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi.
DeGeneres has also been successful in her feature film work. DeGeneres scored unprecedented popular and critical response to her character, Dory, the fish with extreme short-term memory, in the blockbuster animated feature film, Finding Nemo. DeGeneres' feature film credits include EDTV for director Ron Howard, Mr. Wrong, The Love Letter for Dreamworks, New Regency's Goodbye Lover, and Coneheads.

The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor was created in 1998 by The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Mark Krantz, Peter Kaminsky and Bob Kaminsky and Cappy McGarr to recognize the art of humorists who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain*. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said, "Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." Ellen DeGeneres will be presented a copy of an 1884 bronze portrait bust of Mark Twain, sculpted by Karl Gerhardt (1853-1940). The bust and its images are courtesy of the Mark Twain House, Hartford, Connecticut.
The Kennedy Center, as the nation's center for the performing arts, recognizes and presents all of the performing arts including opera, jazz, musical theater, drama, ballet and dance, as well as symphony and all kinds of smaller musical ensembles performing every imaginable kind of music.
WETA Washington, D.C., is the third-largest producing station for public television. WETA's other productions and co-productions include PBS NewsHour, Washington Week with Gwen Ifill and National Journal, In Performance at the White House, The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, and documentaries by filmmaker Ken Burns, including The Civil War, THE WAR, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, The Tenth Inning, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.

7 Wonders
Playing Time: 30 minutes
Players: 3-7 with a 2 player variant included
Complexity: ⚙ ⚙
7 wonders is another development of the tableau-building card game, following on from San Juan and Race for the Galaxy. It's main change is the way the cards are made available to the players. The deck comes in three sections (ages). All the cards for an age are distributed between the players. Each turn they may build one card into their tableau and pass the remaining cards to the next player for the next turn. Each age brings increasingly powerful and expensive cards. This mechanic means 7 Wonders has less randomness than other tableau-builders.
I'm impressed by how well this game scales to more people. Player turns, which are all about deciding which card to build, are simultaneous, so even with 6-7 players the game can go quickly. The mechanics encourage you to interact a good deal with the players either side of you, but much less so to everyone else.
7 Wonders sits in a good sweet spot between San Juan and Race for the Galaxy. If the former is too simple and latter too complex, then this is an ideal game. However unlike most tableau-building games it isn't so good for travel, as there are other components beside the cards.

In the silent hallways of Brooklyn Center's Odyssey Academy on Friday, two open lockers lined with paper hearts and flowers and notes written in pencil said it all.
"See you in heaven, Alarious," one note read.
"We miss you Zenavia," said another.
A day after Odyssey students Zenavia Rennie, 5, and Alarious Coleman-Guerrido, 7, died when a car they were in plunged into a St. Louis Park pond, they were remembered by classmates who struggled with the idea of never seeing them again.
Away from the anxiety and uncertainty at the hospitals where three other children fought for life, the suburban charter school clung to reminders of the vibrancy of a young blended family.
"We made a card for Zenavia," Ava Bylund, one of Zenavia's kindergarten classmates, said after school as she walked with her grandmother.
"I'm not going to see Alarious again," said Ava's brother, Aiden, a second-grader who was in Alarious' class. "I hope he's happy in heaven, but I don't understand it."
The four oldest of five children who made up the blended family of Julius Rennie and Marion Guerrido, the 23-year-old mother who escaped from the car, attended Odyssey Academy.
In addition to Zenavia and Alarious, kindergartner Amani Coleman-Guerrido and first-grader Zarihana Rennie weren't there; they remained hospitalized with their injuries. The family's youngest child, Aliyana Rennie, 1, also was hospitalized.
In a school that has only 40 children per grade and stresses a family atmosphere, the absences were easily noticed.
"We've never had anything like this happen," said John Sedey, the school's executive director. "We've had parents who have died, somebody in the family shot, things like that, but never anything of this magnitude."
Sedey said that on Thursday, faculty members waited until the end of the day before announcing, "Our school has suffered a major tragedy. Something bad happened."
On Friday, a faculty crisis team assembled at 7 a.m. A team of four grief counselors soon arrived, and there were backups, if necessary. The Osseo School District and Robbinsdale Armstrong High School both offered their counselors' services.
During morning announcements, students were told that teachers would be willing to talk to them. Parents would be sent letters, explaining ways to deal with grief.
"We had a script, a way to explain this," Sedey said. "But you can't prepare for something like this. You just can't."
He said the school's older students were the most sorrowful and tearful. Younger students lined the empty lockers with a toy puppy, a smiling sun and notes saying, "We will always love you."
Absence and silence
At the townhouse complex where many family members live, a neighbor talked about how Zenavia and Amani, both 5, loved to play outside and dig dirt with her own children. Just kids being kids.
For another neighboring family, the events of the week hit too close to home. Members of Julius Rennie's extended family, including young cousins of three of the victims, quietly requested several days before addressing the media. The saddened and blank expressions that overcame three little boys at the door when they heard their older sister politely decline to talk about the family spoke volumes.
"We're still grieving," said Cathie Guerrido, Marion's mother, who lives with her daughter's family. "There will be a time to speak. Not now."
Marion Guerrido had recently started a job at Wells Fargo's Shoreview phone services center. The bank issued a statement expressing condolences to her family.
And the family was remembered at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in north Minneapolis, where Julius' children attended last year's Christmas party, said the Rev. Roger Sonnesyn, who retired from the church in February. "My God, I'm just shocked by the news of the children's deaths," he said.
Rick Petry, the family's attorney, said he hopes there will be "as much emotional and loving support for this family as possible, because it's just such a rotten deal, such a tragic set of circumstances.
"This is why we all hug our kids every day, and want to know that they're all right," he said. "Because they can be there, and then the next day, everything can change."

Diminutive, exploiter of dying old men-novelist and Detroit Free Press "columnist" Mitch Albom jumped up on a stack of a phone books in order to impart some moral judgment about sad recruitment faker Kevin Hart. Albom, pumped full of rock star ego thanks to Oprah Winfrey's fanbase embracing him like their personalized pookie doll, says the Hart situation casts an unflattering light upon society.
I always find it startling that Albom stil has a job, but equally baffling is how the Free Press still lets him sit in harsh judgment of others, considering the fact that he's stepped on so many people for the sake of his own self-interest for a good portion of his career.
But Mitch Albom obviously is hypersensitive to these types of things. He feels things differnetly than others. He does. He's an angel sent down from heaven disguised a 50-year-old man who dreses like a 12-year-old boy.
God, I just want to flush him down the toilet.
In this hoax, maybe the joke is on us [Free Press]

Get Your House in Order - A Great Wintertime Project
This is a sobering yet motivating story I read in the Washington Post by Michelle Singletary about having our lives in order should a tragedy strike. A great wintertime project!
"Over the past several months, I've dealt with a lot of death.
My youngest brother died in April. My father-in-law died in October, and a friend's grandmother passed away in November.
The day after Thanksgiving, a close friend who was more like my sister died in an automobile accident.
I'd like to share with you what I've realized from all this tragedy: Get your house in order.
I'm not suggesting that you live in fear of death, but I am asking you to do what my 54-year-old friend, Juanita Ann Waller, did for the people who loved her. She left her personal affairs and her apartment in an awesomely organized manner.
I know you've heard this advice from me before. I've stressed over the years how important it is to have an estate plan. But Juanita's death has touched me like few others. She was always thinking of her family and friends, and what she left behind is testimony to her thoughtfulness.
Yes, she had a will, life insurance and the necessary paperwork to take care of her estate. But there was a higher level of organization in her affairs than I've ever seen.
Juanita had a place for everything. She catalogued what was in her file cabinet. She had a composition notebook that detailed what was in each cabinet drawer. As a result, when our mutual friends packed up her belongings, we didn't have to look through her private papers to be able to label the boxes.
She kept binders of her awards and accolades, including a letter to her signed by President Obama, protected behind sheets of plastic. She had sent Obama an e-mail saying that she was praying for him, and the White House responded.
There wasn't a single junk drawer in her apartment. There were no stacks of papers on her desk threatening to unleash an avalanche of craziness on the floor. Nor did she have bags of papers stuffed in corners or in her closets.
She didn't even have a trash can because there wasn't much waste to throw away. Her closets weren't overstuffed. Her pantry and refrigerator weren't overstocked with food that would take months to eat or go to waste. There wasn't a single item in any room that we could tell went unused for very long.
My friend could have been the spokeswoman for the simplicity movement, which strives to get people to reduce their consumption and material possessions. Her place was so tidy and uncluttered that I wept. It made me ashamed of my personal living space, my cluttered office and my hoarding of things that long ago should have been tossed or donated.
Over the years, I've promised myself to get organized. But whenever I clean my office, it's cluttered again a few weeks later with piles of papers sitting in stacks on the floor.
Just think about this: If you were to die, how long would it take for people to go through your stuff? How many hours would they have to take off from their jobs to find and organize your personal property? Could they find your will? Where would they look for any instructions on your estate? Have you written down in a secure place the passwords to your computer or phone so friends and family can contact people if you pass away?
I wouldn't characterize Juanita as obsessive with her orderliness. She never lorded it over anyone or criticized us for our clutter.
No, Juanita was organized for a purpose. She never wanted to cause confusion. Clutter can contribute to a sense of unease because you can't easily put your hands on the things you need or the things others might need on your behalf. Every year, Juanita would purge her place of unneeded items, another friend recalled.
Juanita kept copious notes in her day planner and in notebooks, to remind herself and others, especially me, of things we needed to take care of. This practice gave comfort to her family members who could see their special events or moments documented over the years. No loose paper or sticky notes for her.
As we were boxing up Juanita's possessions, we all felt embarrassed, mortified. We, in our abundance, saw a woman who kept only what she needed, knowing it was more than enough.
We all pledged to spend some time organizing and getting rid of stuff as a remembrance of Juanita, who gave an abundance of hugs. We promised her that we'd get our houses in order."

Every summer, marine biologists have
come to expect the formation of a huge band of nearly
lifeless ocean off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf
of Mexico. This area, called a "dead zone",
kills or drives off fish, crustaceans, and other sea
life because it is so depleted of oxygen.
The condition of oxygen depletion
is known as hypoxia. Hypoxia results in dead zones worldwide,
but the one in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest. The
size of the dead zone in the Gulf changes every year.
In 1988, a year of drought, the dead zone was relatively
small. In 1993, a year of flooding on the Mississippi
River, the dead zone was quite large. In the summer
of 1999, the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico was 20,000
square kilometers, an area about the size of New Jersey.

zone viewed from a boat.

Adhoc senior investigator Chan Soveth (C) is surrounded by supporters outside Phnom Penh Municipal Court, Monday, Dec. 24, 2012. Photograph: Heng Chivoan/Phnom Penh Post
Senior Adhoc investigator Chan Soveth avoided detention yesterday following questioning at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, but the investigating judge refused to drop the charge of aiding a perpetrator.
The court also imposed a strict monitoring condition on the rights worker, requiring him to inform the court of his whereabouts whenever he leaves the capital.
Outside the courtroom yesterday afternoon, a coterie of rights monitors from Adhoc and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights grew increasingly tense as the closed-door questioning of Soveth inched into a second hour.
At last, some 70 minutes after entering, a jubilant Soveth stepped out of the room and announced he would not be detained.
"The court decided not to arrest me, but the charges still stand," he told a reporter outside the courtroom.
"They did not drop the charges and the prosecutor is still investigating the case," he added briefly, before heading downstairs and out the court gates, where he was met with cheers from the roughly 100 protesters and rights workers who had gathered in front.
"We hunger for justice, so that is why we came to support him," said 59-year-old Nge Phan, who travelled from Stung Treng to keep an eye on the proceedings.
"He is a human right worker and he still got a court summons. So what does this mean for ordinary people? What will happen to us if we dare to speak out like him?"
Accused of aiding a perpetrator – a crime that carries a sentence of up to three years in prison – Soveth remains potentially subject to further questioning and a hearing, should the court decide to press ahead.
While officials have remained tight-lipped on the details, Soveth's lawyers said that according to the case file, the rights worker stands accused of aiding one of the masterminds of the so-called Kratie secession plot.
The accusation has been roundly denied by Soveth, his lawyers and employers.
In the wake of the Mam Sonando case, however, rights workers have kept a close eye on the situation amid mounting fears that Soveth could face similar treatment.
The independent broadcaster was in October sentenced to 20 years in prison for stoking the supposed separatist movement in Kratie – a claim widely derided as politically motivated.
"It's a good sign they let him out. They let him at least stay out of detention. But the charge remains. Therefore, it's still an issue that we need to monitor closely, and the issue's still of concern," said Cambodian Center for Human Rights president Ou Virak.
And as long as the charge still hangs over the investigator, meanwhile, the pressure on him and other rights workers remains at the forefront.
"There's a lot of nervousness among activists," admitted Virak. "There's a trend, a few events pointing to the fact that the government will not be shy from repressing freedom of expression and repressing some peoples' work."
At a brief press conference held at the Adhoc offices, President Thun Saray urged the court to drop the charges altogether.
"As he told the prosecutor he is not guilty, and as a human right activist he does not violate the law," said Saray, adding that the monitoring conditions were unduly harsh and would doubtless impact the investigator's ability to do his job.
Investigating judge Chhe Virak could not be reached for comment.

This morning's acreage reports have farmers across the country scratching their heads, many losing faith in USDA's accuracy.
The reports, developed from an early June survey, reveled the corn planted area for all purposes in 2011 is estimated at 92.3 million acres, up 5 percent from last year, and the second highest planted acreage in the United States since 1944, behind only the 93.5 million acres planted in 2007. In preparation for the reports, a discussion board thread was started on AGWEB.com early this morning.
"I just threw my rose colored glasses into the trash compactor. Just when I thought we might be able to start trusting USDA to get it right they throw us an out of the ball park corn acres number," wrote BinswOH, an avid AGWEB.com user. "92.3 million acres of corn planted? Are they using estimated seed sales and forgetting to back out the seed sold for replant? Or are they assuming they will make it up by lowering the average acre yield to 150? I have too many questions after reading the report this morning."
The USDA estimates corn acreage in Ohio and the Dakotas to have increased over last year as well. Many farmers across the country are wondering how this could be true.
"Maybe my eyes aren't working right but it looks like more acres than last year in Ohio and the Dakotas," wrote iaDave, corn farmer and discussion board enthusiast. "I just don't see how that can be from what I have heard."
The developing flood situation in the stacked northern states is far from over which is causing farmers disdain in regards to the accuracy of acreage numbers released by USDA for the Dakotas this morning.
"I'm pretty sure they are smoking their socks on the Dakota's," Iowa55 says. "I was up there two and a half weeks ago and most of the acres that were planted just are not going to make anything in South Dakota. Not all acres were bad but 75 percent were hurt and 25 percent were as good as failed."
What crops have been planted are not likely to make decent yields because of the excess water that is destined to reach fields throughout North Dakota and South Dakota as the snow pack melts this summer.
While many farmers in Ohio planted more corn later than originally anticipated, growing a good crop in the region is hopeful at best.
"Many acres were planted just because of the crop insurance guarantees, with no real hopes of a harvest or proper fertilizer program," wrote one frequent user, Iowa55, concerning the Ohio crop. "But the acres will count in June, they just will never amount to much or be harvested."
Regardless of the perceived inaccuracies of the today's reports the markets will react in line with the acreage and stock numbers released by the government agency.
"For today's trade we are going to trade dramatically lower corn is 40 to 50 cents lower in the over the counter market," says Tommi Grasafi of Indiana Grain Company.
With regard the accuracy of the bearish report Grasafi says that it is a government report but things are likely to change. The price of corn is being driven by the report this morning and will likely continue on that path until the conversation turns to weather over the weekend.

Kiawah Island is considered to be one of the top golf holiday resorts in the United States of America. As such, there is a variety of top-class championship golf courses at Kiawah Island for golf fans. Among the more notable of these is the Ocean Course which provides great views of the Atlantic ocean, and hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup. There are also other good golf courses at Kiawah Island such as the Nicklaus designed Turtle Point Golf Course, and Cougar Point Golf Course. However, Kiawah Island is not all about golf and has about 10 miles of beach along its coast. Among some of the best of these is the public Beachwalker County Park, which is a great nature beach. Kiawah Island also has a number of resort villas just a short distance away from the golf courses and beaches.
Kiawah Island has hundreds of villas, some of which can provide a great base for family holidays at Kiawah Island. Resort villas at Kiawah Island can be ideally located to some of the top beaches and sites at Kiawah Island. The island has a great variety of wildlife such as osprey, raccoons, and deer, and the Heron Park Nature Centre provides guided tours. Alternatively, you can visit the 25 acre Night Heron Park which has a pool, soccer fields, and basketball courts. Weekly festivals are also held at Heron Park.
Consider visiting the Marsh Island nature park for a day trip in Kiawah Island. Here, you can gain some great views of the island from the two towers such as the Marsh View Tower, and the Marsh Island Tower. At the crossroads of Kiawah Island there is also Freshfields Village with its various markets, and the village also holds holiday festivals with free outdoor movies on the village green provided by Starlight Cinema. In addition to this, live concerts are also staged here.

I recently hired Dan to photograph my sister's 40th birthday party. He was a true professional with prompt email replies and easy payment methods, which was particularly important as I organised this from my home in the UK. He was also extremely reasonably priced compared to other quotes I had from seemingly similar Melbourne party photographers. Most important of all, Dan was fantastic on the night, mixing in with the crowd and capturing some great shots. My sister was delighted! I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

I had Dan at my 21st after seeing the gorgeous photos he took at my friend's 21st. I honestly couldn't recommend him enough. He was so much help on the night and as I was the only one organising everything, he was kind enough to help me with the little things as well. He also calmed me down as I was stressing so much at the beginning of the night. He also just knows where the good shots will be taken and the photos came out gorgeous! You can't go wrong with Dan if you want someone to capture gorgeous photos of the night. He's definitely worth giving a shot and I have only awesome things to say!

We were planning a wedding from interstate and contacted Dan to book him in for a casual wedding. We received great communication throughout the planning process and leading up to the day. We couldn't praise Dan enough for the work he did on our big day. So accommodating, relaxed, creative, fun and professional. You were so helpful throughout the day and loved the moments you captured for us which we will treasure forever. You captured everything we were after and so much more. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking for a photographer for all types of events! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dan, you're exceptional and I will definitely hit you up for any future events. Keep up the great work! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

We hired Prop & Pose very last minute and are so glad we did. Dan went above and beyond just taking photos – he made sure we had champagne for toasts, moved the cake and table for photos, and made everyone feel super comfortable with the camera being around all night. The photos looked lovely and we're excited to see the finished product.

Dan was an AMAZING photographer for my 21st, the photos all look stunning and he went above and beyond the whole night to make sure everything was running smoothly. He was so friendly and relaxed, made sure to position everyone in the photos to look the best as well as taking some beautiful candids, showed me the camera every time to make sure I was happy and checked in with me frequently to make sure I had a photo taken with every guest. Beyond being a wonderful photographer, myself, my family and my guests were amazed by how kind he was as he helped us move a table before speeches, made sure we all had champagne to toast and helped me with the cake. Cannot thank him enough and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for event photography :)
10:35 10 Jan 19
Would highly recommend. Dan was so easy to communicate with, and Chris, the photographer on the night, was a pleasure. He made the photo taking process so relaxed and easy, and the end results are better than we could ever have imagined. Will definitely use for any future events!

Dan is nothing short of amazing. His skills as a photographer are incredible. We had Dan do our wedding photography in a place where the lighting was absolutely horrible; dark interior and very bright exterior. I was worried that the photographs would feel cold but they perfectly capture the warmth of my ceremony and were of a quality that greatly exceeded expectations. Dan is a highly skilled and very professional photographer, whom I highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Dan! He is just incredible, I cannot thank him enough for all the beautiful photos he captured for my daughter's special 1st birthday party. The lightening of my venue was terrible and I was so nervous how the photos would turn out but when I received them, I couldn't be any happier! They were amazing, what a great job Dan! He is so creative, highly professional and so easy to talk to. A special thanks for getting along with my daughter so well and making her smile when no one else could because as we all know birthday parties and lots of people can make kids unsettled & overwhelmed. We were all so impressed that Dan was so kind and helpful in every way! I look forward to working with Dan again for my next occasion! Many many thanks again Dan!

Prop and Pose Co were a great choice for our engagement party. Dan was great at organising everything and Chris was a wonderful photographer. Chris made everybody feel really relaxed in front of the camera and our photos really show. Thanks again Prop and Pose Co! Could not recommend any higher.

Dan is beyond incredible. He is such a talented man who has a great passion for photography. He is very accommodating, always ensuring his clients are content. I have had Dan photograph many events, and have referred him onto other family and friends. The quality of his photos are exceptional and this is evident by the time he spends working/editing them before they are published. He is very responsive and easy to communicate with. He is just an all-round sweet and talented man who everyone should contact for their functions. He won't let you down!Thank you Dan... you champ!

Milestone 2 Explained
A lot of you watched the video of our Milestone 2 run and had plenty of questions, so we put together a video that explains everything in better detail. The video talks about what sort of sensors we use and gives more insight into what the PR2 alpha robot is doing at each step of the process.
We know that a lot of our research audience out there would like more detail than a short, 5-minute YouTube video can provide, so here are slides from Sachin Chitta's presentation that was given at the Workshop on Mobile Manipulation in Human Environments at RSS 2009. It provides a more technical overview of the algorithms, representations, and software systems used. We apologize that videos from the talk are not included, but you should be able to see similar footage in the video above.
