[TotH to Flavorwire]
As we Just Do It, we might that it was on this date in 1914 that the first of the "Dream Palaces," the Mark Strand Theater– or "The Strand, as it was known– opened in New York. Hitherto, "movies" had been shown in storefront "nickelodeons"; by contrast the Strand was large (3,000 seats) and luxurious. Designed by Thomas Lamb and built at a cost of over $1 million, it became the model for Picture Palaces nationwide. Indeed, by 1916, over 21,000 large movie theaters across the U.S. were showing feature-length films (instead of programs of shorts) in order to justify premium prices. The movie-palace boom (and the corresponding demise of the nickelodeons) laid the foundation for the rise of the studio system, which dominated Hollywood from the 1920s into the 1950s.

For over 30 years, we have successfully run IT organizations. And things (generally) have worked well for IT organizations and the businesses they serve. Best practices were identified, shared and enhanced. Technology evolved and became increasingly more sophisticated. We built the backbone that business runs on today.
However, the traditional way of running IT is dead and a change is needed before we face extinction. That may seem a bit dramatic, but IT needs to make a significant change to remain relevant. There are three components that need to change: the Chief Information Officer (or IT executive), the individuals within the IT organization and the business that they serve.
Minimizing Information Technology
In 2004, Nicholas Carr created quite a dustup with his book Does IT Matter suggesting a change in the value of IT organizations. In essence, he was correct…based on the direction IT is heading today. As IT focuses more on minimizing expenses and less on value creation, the intrinsic value the IT organization brings to the business is lessened. IT becomes a fundamental support organization and little more. That balance needs to change.
Value Creation is King
At this point operations and core support are table stakes. IT needs to identify ways to create value for the organization. By value creation I mean creating revenue in ways not previously possible. In his book The Digital Edge: Exploiting Information and Technology for Business Advantage, Mark McDonald delves further into this point. Today, executive recruiters are hiring CIOs that are focused on value creation rather than just table stakes.
IT Transformation
The CIO needs to lead the change. There is no other organization within a business that has the potential to lead this kind of change. More than just about any other group, the IT organization has both the breadth and depth across the business. IT Transformation takes place when the IT organization is aligned toward value creation while still providing operational support. IT Transformation is challenging, but not a pipe dream. Progressive CIOs from Boston Scientific, General Motors, Chevron and UPS are already heading in that direction.
Paradigm Shifts
Changing the way the CIO and IT organization functions are only two of the three components. The business also needs to change the way it perceives value from IT. I have heard many references to IT organizations
- "(IT is) where big projects go to die"
- "The IT police"
- "The 'no' organization"
- "Those nice people you call when you can't connect to the network"
IT can be much more than this. Why isn't that the case. Well, a history lesson of IT's evolution over the past 30 years would be required. So, how do we make the change?
The Three-Legged Race
In order for the paradigm to change and IT Transformation to truly take hold, all three components need to work in unison. The CIO, the IT organization and the business all need to evolve for the evolution to take place. That seems like a pretty tall order. Who takes the first step to affect the change? The CIO. The others, while valuable, do not have the connections and relationships of the CIO. Challenge the status quo and evolve the paradigm. The rewards are too great to miss.

One of my favourite restaurants is Moro. We used to go regularly after it opened, back when it wasn't quite so popular. After the first Moro cookbook came out, it quickly attained legendary status. You could never get a table, although sometimes you could sit at the bar. Luckily the cookbook was so good that you could replicate most of their dishes at home and look dead clever at the same time. We left London in 2004 and haven't been back to the restaurant, not sure what it's like any more. But I keep a wistful eye on the London restaurant scene via the blogs and was excited to see they have opened a tapas place called Morito just down the street. The reviews have been mixed – hispanophiles Dos Hermanos didn't rate it – but online reports almost universally rave about a tapa they serve called beetroot borani.
I absolutely love beetroot, I just think it's got such a sophisticated flavour – tasting of freshly dug earth (in a good way) as well as sweet and acidic. I love it paired with dill or caraway seeds – and it loves lactic flavours like yoghurt and sour cream. It's obviously very good with oily smoked fish, particularly salmon and eel.
So I was keen to try out the beetroot borani which is essentially a yoghurt and beetroot puree. There is a recipe in Moro East (probably the least satisfying of the three Moro cookbooks, but still well worth owning). The dish they serve at Morito has been augmented by the addition of some salty feta crumbled over the top and walnuts. The recipe calls for the beetroot to be boiled, but I find that roasting the beetroot gives a better result, although it takes longer.
This was the surprise hit of Hannah's little party yesterday (can't bring myself to write the yukky words baby shower).
Beetroot borani
500g beetroot
400g yoghurt (preferably a creamy, full-fat yoghurt like Total)
3tbps olive oil
1 tsp Sugar
1 clove of garlic, crushed to a paste
small bunch of dill
1/2 pack feta cheese
Take whole beetroot, top and tail and and scrub clean. Place the beetroot on a sheet of foil. Sprinkle over some salt and olive oil and wrap into a tight parcel. Place the foil package into an oven-proof dish and into a 180 degree C oven and cook until tender, this could take between 1-3 hours depending on the size of the beetroot.
Remove and allow to cool. Peel the beetroot. Very roughly chop the beetroot and blend in the food processor. Add yoghurt, olive oil, garlic, half the dill and sugar and process until desired consistency (you may like it smooth or chunkier). Season to taste with salt and pepper and more sugar if you want it.
Spoon the mixture into a bowl. Chop the rest of the dill and sprinkle over. Crumble over the feta cheese and some walnuts if you like.
This is nice served as a meze or tapas, or alternatively as little canapes over crisp flatbreads. It would probably also be a good accompaniment to roast lamb or chicken dishes.

ROCKLAND, Maine — A nationwide company that provides concessions for major league sports arenas, hotels, parks and airports has stopped buying lobsters from Linda Bean's Maine company.
Representatives of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals claim that the decision was the result of a video the organization distributed concerning "horrific abuse caught on tape at the company's slaughterhouse."
Delaware North Companies Vice President for Corporate Communications Wendy Watkins said Wednesday in an email response that the company is not using lobsters from the Bean company in its operations. Watkins would not comment on whether the decision to stop using the Bean products was because of the PETA video.
PETA released the video in September. Delaware North would not say when the decision was made to not use the Bean products.
"Delaware North has a longstanding commitment to sustainable and responsible practices in food purchasing, and we do our best to maintain very high standards with our vendors," Watkins said.
She would not say how much the company had been buying from Bean or answer any questions about the business relationship.
David Byer, the senior corporate liaison for PETA, said Wednesday that PETA contacted Delaware North directly on June 20 after it saw an advertisement for Linda Bean Maine Lobster promoting the sale of its lobster on a stick at the Minnesota Twins baseball park and at the TD Garden in Boston.
Delaware North responded to PETA on July 1 saying it had stopped using Bean's lobsters, Byer said.
The PETA official said that the organization had reached out to Bean's company to educate them about more humane ways to kill lobsters before it released the video.
"They refused to engage us in conversation," Byer said, and the decision was made to try to convince companies not to buy her products.
"I hope more companies do what Delaware North has done," he said.
PETA had asked last year for animal cruelty charges to be filed against the Bean processing plant in Rockland, but District Attorney Geoffrey Rushlau said he would not prosecute because the animal cruelty law did not cover invertebrate species — animals without backbones.
In a separate matter in December, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found what it said were serious violations of federal seafood safety at the Bean processing plant on Merrill Drive in the Rockland industrial park. A warning letter was sent out in February.
The manager of the plant said Monday, however, that the violations simply involved the plant not being able to show the federal agency scientific evidence to support the company's position that its processing method results in the food being safe. An FDA spokesperson said late Wednesday that the agency would look into the status of the case and get back to the BDN, likely Thursday.
When asked for comment Wednesday afternoon about the loss of the Delaware North contract and PETA's possible involvement, Linda Bean said she would send a reply by email, but none was received by 7 p.m.

Quad-core Galaxy Note 2 heading to Verizon
Refreshed Galaxy Note may hit Verizon with LTE and quad-core CPU.
Apparently Samsung's unique Galaxy Note II is slated to arrive on Verizon. If a report is accurate, not only will the big-screened, pen-toting gadget boast 4G LTE data but also Samsung's quad-core Exynos processor. It'll be the first time a Galaxy Note has been scooped up by Big Red as well.
According to phone blog BriefMobile, Sammy's device will be coined the SCH-I605, and, like its global version just announced at IFA, it will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The real shocker, though, is that a source close to BriefMobile claims the Galaxy Note II will not push aside its quad-core CPU in favor of a more LTE-friendly chip like Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4. Up until now this has been the case for high-octane Android phones outfitted with LTE such as the HTC Evo 4G LTE and Samsung's own Galaxy S III.
Perhaps this represents a turning point in handset design, ushering in a new era of having your 4G and eating your quad-core cake, too -- with Jelly Bean sprinkles on top. If so, this holiday season could be an eventful one for Android users.

Designer Jae Rhim Lee is concerned about the carcinogenic affects of the funerary preservative formaldehyde. That's why she's invented the Infinity Burial Suit — a.k.a. the Mushroom Death Suit — a postmortem garment designed to consume the wearer's corpse.
In an interview with New Scientist the artist described how she's training the mushrooms to process her body.
The US government recently upgraded formaldehyde from a probable carcinogen to a known carcinogen, so by trying to preserve the body we poison the living [...] I thought I could train a toxin-cleaning edible mushroom to eat my body. These mushrooms, which usually grow on wood and decaying material in the forest, can be trained to grow on pretty much any organic material and break it down. So I started collecting my hair, nails and skin so I could pick the best mushrooms to become Infinity Mushrooms, to recognise and eat my body after I die.
She has yet to test the suit and thinks it could use such sartorial touches as gelatin to promote fungus growth. Frankly, I think this could make for a fantastic business casual garment. Screw a power tie, imagine those schmucks' faces when you roll into next week's board meeting sporting this season's Mycological Corpse Pajamas.

After a successful Sunday launch, a cargo spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station, carrying a Google 3D smartphone, along with a flock of tiny satellites.
Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Cygnus spacecraft, filled with more than 3,000 pounds of food, supplies, hardware and scientific experiments, lifted off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Sunday at 12:52 p.m. ET.
The Cygnus cargo craft launched on top of Orbital's Antares rocket.
The spacecraft is taking a few days to catch up to the space station. Cygnus is scheduled to rendezvous with the orbiter at 6:39 a.m. Wednesday, when astronauts are expected to use the station's robotic arm to grab hold of the craft.
Besides food, scientific experiments and spare parts, the Cygnus is carrying equipment for Google's Project Tango. Google's 3D mapping technology comes out of Project Tango, the company's effort to create tablets and smartphones that are 3D-enabled.
Next month, astronauts are expected to integrate the 3D technology with its smart Spheres(Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient Experimental Satellites), free-flying space robots that NASA has been testing on the space station since 2011.
The Spheres have only been operating in a small area of the space station. Once the sensors and cameras that enable Project Tango's 3D navigation are operational inside the floating robots, astronauts will move the Spheres throughout the station, mapping its entire layout.
Once that map is complete, the Spheres can begin using the map to maneuver throughout the space station.
NASA wants to use the flying robots, which are about the size of a volleyball, to perform tasks on the space station. For instance, the Spheres might be used to manipulate a camera to give flight controllers in Houston views of the inside of the station. The flying robots also will carry air quality and noise sensors, saving astronauts from doing the monitoring themselves.
The Cygnus spacecraft also is carrying a fleet of 28 small satellites, called CubeSats, to the space station. The CubeSats, nanosatellites about the size of a loaf of bread, will be deployed from the station's Japanese Experiment Module airlock and will be used to image the entire planet. The images then can be used to identify and track natural disasters and relief efforts. They also will be used for environmental and agricultural monitoring and management.

Aside from Gawad Urian, Star Awards, Film Academy Awards and FAMAS, the annual local festival, called MMFF or Metro Manila Film Festival has become a part of Vilma Santos' film career. From the 70s to the new millennium, Vilma Santos was able to entered memorable films that earned her awards, record-breaking ticket revenues, career breakthrough performances and even some memorable heartache. Spanning four decades, the MMFF earned Vilma 7 acting nominations with four wins.
Here are the highlights: The Martial Law established the amalgamation of the surrounding cities in Manila. Prior to 1975, three local film festivals showcase Filipino films, Quezon City and Manila each has their own festivities and another one in Southern part of the country, Bacolod City. The local festivals started the acting competition between rival, Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor. In 1970 Manila Film Festival, Nora's Nora in Wonderland and Young Heart compete with Vilma's sole entry, Love Letters. Two years afterwards, the acting race will heat up in Quezon City Film Festival when the two collided with Nora's And God Smiled at Me and Vilma's Dama De Noche. After the Martial Law, cities were amalgamated with Manila. And the Quezon City Film Festival and the Manila Film Festival ends creating the December festival in 1975. Occasionally, Manila will have their own festival every summer in connection to city's "Araw Ng Manila" celebration. Tthe last time Vilma entered a film at MFF was in 1993 via Dahil Mahal Kita: The Dolzura Cortez Story where she won the best actress. Meanwhile, Nora Aunor's last venture to MFF was in 2004′s Naglalayag where like Vilma, she won the best actress too.
The Metropolitan Manila Film Festival, now simply called, MMFF, (the "politan" was dropped eventually) or Metro Manila Film Festival exhibits only local films in all its theatres from Christmas Eve to the first week of the following New Year. The festival has its street parade at the eve of Christmas Day and each films contesting for best float. The festival has its awards night at the third or fourth nights. Not surprisingly, both Nora and Vilma have competed in the first MMFF. Nora's entry was her self-produced film directed by Luciano B. Carlos, Batu-Bato sa Langit and Vilma's entry was the melodrama, Karugtong ang Kahapon. The big winner was the pre-presidential, Joseph Estrada. Directed by Augosto Bunaventura, Estrada's Diligin Mo ng Hamog ang Uhaw na Lupa won the major awards: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Best Actress went to Charito Solis for Araw-Araw, Gabi-Gabi. The second year, the festival was noticeably the precursor to the awards race. It was a showcase of who's who in the local film industry. Lino Brocka, Eddie Romero, Lupita Concio were among the big name directors competing. Romero's Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon dominated the awards night winning the best director and Christopher de Leon the best actor. Hilda Koronel was proclaimed the best actress for her impressive performance in Insiang. Concio's Minsa'y Isang Gamo-gamo, Brocka's Insiang and Romero's Ganito will be the top films competing for the first Gawad Urian.
The third MMFF, brought controversy to Vilma Santos. Now starting to accept offbeat roles and learning to adopt versatility to her arsenal, she bravely entered the festival with Celso Ad Castillo's Burlesk Queen. The gamble paid off as the film became the top grosser and won eight awards out of ten. Burlesk won best picture and best in direction, lead actor, actress, screenplay, supporting actress/actor and cinematography. Burlesk defeated Lino Brocka's Inay, Mario O'Hara and Romy Suzara's Mga Bilanggong Birhen, Mike de Leon's Kung Mangarap Ka't Magising, Eddie Romero's Banta ng Kahapon, Ishmael Bernal's Walang Katapusang Tag-araw, Joey Gosiengfiao's Babae, Ngayon at Kailanman, Gil Portes' Sa Piling ng mga Sugapa. A very impressive list, no wonder some critics loudly complained about the awards results. And according to Armida Sigueon Reyna, in her newspaper column, Brocka walked out the awards night in protest and even cursed the juror on the way out ot the auditorium. It was also reported that the organizer asked the winners to return their medals (they hand out medals that year) but no such things happened, Vilma still has her medal in her fully loaded cabinet of hardwares.
The success of Burlesk Queen commercially and critically brought down some senses to some Nora Aunor followers. Clearly, Vilma Santos' willingness to accept mature and offbeat roles became a threat to Nora Aunor's standing as the number one actress. Vilma Santos' entry was Lino Brocka's true to life film about rape victim, Rubia Servios. Critics and media have predicted Vilma was dead lock for the best actress. Come awards night, the juries' award Nora's film about a maid abused by her employer, Atsay won the major awards including best picture and best director for Eddie Garcia. The top acting award was changed to best performer that Nora Aunor won. A vindication from last year's result? Wait, there wasn't even an Aunor film last year. For some consolation, Rubia won two technical awards, one for editing and screenplay for Mario O'Harra. The film also became the top grosser of the festival even with the lost to Aunor. According to Isagani Cruz on his TV Times article in 1979: "…Nora does an excellent acting job; but so does Vilma Santos, and Rubia is a much more demanding and difficult role….Overall, Atsay may be much more impressive than Rubia Servios. In terms of challenging our moral and legal convictions, however, Rubia Servios is much more significant."
1979 brought the tandem of Charito Solis & Vilma Santos versus Lolita Rodrigues and Nora Aunor. The clear winner was the latter team. Although Solis and Santos film did much better at the box office. Ina Ka Ng Anak Mo, a much better film, directed by Lino Brocka won the major awards, best picture, director and acting awards for Raul Aragon and Nora Aunor. For film aficionado, the scene where Solis slapped Santos in Modelong Tanso was memorable. Many reprised that scene, Vilma did it in Anak (with Claudine) and recently Sharon Cuneta with Heart Evangelist in the recent Mano Po. By 1980, Nora Aunor kept on pushing for festival supremacy and like last year, she entered two films. This time, with Lino Brocka's Bona and Laurice Guillen's Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo. Vilma's lone entry was Danny Zialcita's Langis at Tubig. Nora came up short, as both of her film missed the major awards. The big winner was Christopher De Leon and Bembol Roco's film Taga Sa Panahon. Taga won the top awards while Marilou Diaz Abaya's film Brutal won directing and best actress for Amy Austria. Langis At Tubig won best actor Dindo Fernando.
After winning in 1977 and a big loss in 1978, Vilma's enthusiasm in winning at the MMFF subsided significantly. Her film entries were now focused on entertainment value aimed at getting commercial success instead of awards. 1980 and 1981 was a big example. Danny Zialcita's Langis At Tubig did very well at the box office in '80 and her entry the following year was a glossy production, Karma. Karma was a big hit and earned nominations but one film dominated all the 1981′s MMFF, Kisap Mata, directed by Mike De Leon won eight out of ten awards except for best actress, that award went to Vilma Santos. Vilma didn't attend the ceremony, her co-star, Chanda Romero, accepted the award. Nora's absence in 1981 add motivation to her camp, she entered the festival with the epic film, directed by Ishmael Bernal, Himala, now considered by many as one of the best Filipino film of all time. Himala won seven major awards including best picture, director, screenplay and actress. Vilma's entry Haplos was a distant third, with a win for lead actor, Christopher De Leon. The following year, Himala harvested nominations from four award-giving bodies particularly the best actress nominations for Nora but failed to win any, all the trophies went to Vilma, earning her first grand slam best actress. The next six years, no film by Vilma Santos in the festival. The big winners during these years are: 1983 – Karnal, 1984 – Bulaklak ng City Jail, 1985 – Paradise Inn, 1986 – Halimaw sa Banga, 1987 – Olongapo, 1988 – Patrolman.
The 1989 MMFF brought back the team of Vilma Santos and Christopher De Leon. Viva film's Immortal directed by Eddie Garcia won major awards including best picture, director and the acting for Christopher and Vilma. Not to be undone, Nora Aunor entered the race the following year via Elwood Perez' Andrea Paano ba ang Maging Isang Ina. The film won best picture, director and actress for Nora. Best actor went to Dolphy for Espadang Patpat. Then 1991 was a repeat for Nora as her film, again directed by Perez, Ang Totoong Buhay ni Pacita M. won major awards. The next twelve years seems to be non-existent for Vilma followers as there were no entries from Vilma Santos in these years. There were no films that stands out compare to the high caliber films entered during the peak of the Vilma-Nora rivalry. There are six films that were praised by the critics though, Chito Rono's films Nasaan ang Puso (1997) and Bagong Buwan (2001), Marilou Diaz-Abaya's Jose Rizal (1998) and Muro-ami (1999) and Laurice Guillen's Tanging Yaman (2000). In the acting category, only Elizabeth Oropesa win in 1999 for Bulaklak ng Maynila and Gloria Romero's win in 2000 for Tanging Yaman stands out.
By 2002, it was déjà vu all over again, Vilma Santos convinced by many as a sure bet for the best actress lost again for her festival entry, Dekada 70. The award was given to Ara Mina for her supposed to be supporting role in the very first Mano Po. Dekada will dominate the awards race the following year, Vilma will win several best actress awards. Vilma's co-star, Piolo Pascual will win all the best supporting actor making him a grand slam winner. The next year, Crying Ladies, starring Sharon Cuneta, Hilda Koronel and Angel Aquino won the best picture, best actor for Eric Quizon, best supporting actress for Hilda while Maricel Soriano snatched the best actress for Filipinas. The next year, Vilma came back again with Regal's third installment to the Mano Po series. Titled, Mano Po 3: My Love and directed by Joel Lamangan, the film won best picture and the lead acting for Vilma and Christopher De Leon. Cesar Montano's self-produced and directed film, Panaghoy sa Suba won best actor. No Vilma Santos or Nora Aunor films the next five years. Vilma visibly concentrated with her political career and Nora retired in the United States. The film festival continued its annual fan fare with some memorable films. Zsazsa Padilla and Cherry Pie Picache continued the Mano Po series with a comedy, Ako Legal Wife, Mano Po 4 won the female acting awards in 2005. Judy Ann Santos comedy film, directed Joey Reyes, Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo top the 2006 festival. Maricel Soriano received another best actress the following year for Bahay Kubo, The Pinoy Mano Po. Anne Curtis arrived in the big league as she wins best actress for Baler in 2008 and then this year, Bong Revilla won best actor for Ang Panday and Sharon Cuneta best actor for Mano Po 6: A Mother's Love, both first time winner.

For some, Vilma Santos MMFF recognitions in terms of awards wasn't as significant compare to lets say, her number of URIAN or FAMAS awards but all the shortcomings were forgotten when you think about the successful revenue of her film entries recorded. From Burlesk Queen, Rubia Servios, Karma, Langis at Tubig to her last one, Mano Po 3, all of her films did very well. At the end of the day, producers would still prefer a little profit than trophies that will just eat dusts in the attic. – RV

Well, happy Friday everyone- and happy last day of September! It doesn't really feel like fall to me until October is here.
So, I promised a crochet flower tutorial and here it is! This one is really simple. It only requires two basic crochet skills: chain stitch and slip stitch. Not too complicated.
And for those of you who have trouble reading those tricky crochet patterns ( it's almost like learning another language), I'm presenting it step by step without abbreviations, but with tons of pictures!
Any type of yarn of your choosing
Any size crochet hook ( just depends on how big you want your flower to be)
Step 1: Make a loop and chain 5.
Step 2: Slip stitch into the beginning loop to make a ring.
Step 3: Chain 5, slip stitch into the ring.
Step 4: Repeat step 3, 5 times making 6 petals
That's it! You are done! Let me know if you try it out. This is the first pattern I've ever come up with entirely on my own, so I'd love to know how it works out for all you crocheters out there.

CINCINNATI – New research in Nature concludes the eye – which depends on light to see – also needs light to develop normally during pregnancy.
Scientists say the unexpected finding offers a new basic understanding of fetal eye development and ocular diseases caused by vascular disorders – in particular one called retinopathy of prematurity that can blind premature infants. The research, led by scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), appears online Jan. 16 ahead of print publication.
"This fundamentally changes our understanding of how the retina develops," says study co-author Richard Lang, PhD, a researcher in the Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "We have identified a light-response pathway that controls the number of retinal neurons. This has downstream effects on developing vasculature in the eye and is important because several major eye diseases are vascular diseases."
Lang is a principal investigator on the ongoing research along with project collaborator, David Copenhagen, PhD, a scientist in the departments of Ophthalmology and Physiology at UCSF. The scientists say their current study, conducted in mouse models, includes several unexpected findings.
"Several stages of mouse eye development occur after birth," says Copenhagen. "Because of this, we had always assumed that if light played a role in the development of the eye, it would also happen only after birth."
But researchers in the current study found that activation of the newly described light-response pathway must happen during pregnancy to activate the carefully choreographed program that produces a healthy eye. Specifically, they say it is important for a sufficient number of photons to enter the mother's body by late gestation, or about 16 days into a mouse pregnancy.
Researchers were also surprised to learn that photons of light activate a protein called melanopsin directly in the fetus – not the mother – to help initiate normal development of blood vessels and retinal neurons in the eye.
One purpose of the light-response pathway is to suppress the number of blood vessels that form in the retina. These vessels are critical to retinal neurons, which require large amounts of oxygen to form and to function. When retinopathy of prematurity occurs in infants, retinal vessels grow almost unchecked. This continued expansion puts intense pressure on the developing eye and in extreme cases causes severe damage and blindness.
The research team led by Lang and Copenhagen conducted several experiments in laboratory mouse models that allowed them to identify the light-response pathway's specific components and function.
Mice were reared in the dark and in a normal day-night cycle beginning at late gestation to observe the comparative effects on vascular development of the eye. The researchers verified the function of the light response pathway by mutating an opsin gene in mice called Opn4 that produces melanopsin, in essence preventing activation of the photo pigment.
Both mice reared under dark conditions from late gestation, and those with mutated Opn4, exhibited nearly identical promiscuous expansion of hyaloid vessels and abnormal retinal vascular growth. The unchecked vascular growth was driven by the protein vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegfa). When the light response pathway is properly engaged, it modulates Vegfa to help prevent promiscuous vascular growth, according to researchers.
The melanopsin protein is present in both mice and humans during pregnancy. Lang said the research team is continuing to study how the light-response pathway might influence the susceptibility of pre-term infants to retinopathy of prematurity and also be related to other diseases of the eye.
First author on the study was Sujata Rao, PhD, a member of Lang's laboratory team. Funding support for the research came in part from the National Institutes of Health (NIH AR-47363) and the Abrahamson Pediatric Eye Institute at Cincinnati Children's.

Hank Williams Jr.: 'Sorry If It Offended Anyone'
A quick follow to the news that ESPN pulled Hank Williams Jr.'s iconic opening song from this week's Monday Night Football broadcast because he had compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler.
As you may recall, on Fox & Friends Monday, Williams compared the round of golf that President Obama played this summer with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to "Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu." He also referred to Obama and Vice President Biden as "the enemy."
Tuesday, Hank posted two statements on his website. The first said:
"Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme — but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me — how ludicrous that pairing was. They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the President.
"Every time the media brings up the tea party it's painted as racist and extremists — but there's never a backlash — no outrage to those comparisons... Working class people are hurting — and it doesn't seem like anybody cares. When both sides are high-fiving it on the ninth hole when everybody else is without a job – it makes a whole lot of us angry. Something has to change. The policies have to change."
The second statement read:
"I have always been very passionate about Politics and Sports and this time it got the Best or Worst of me. The thought of the Leaders of both Parties Jukin and High Fiven on a Golf course, while so many Families are Struggling to get by simply made me Boil over and make a Dumb statement and I am very Sorry if it Offended anyone. I would like to Thank all my supporters. This was Not written by some Publicist."

Check out Gwyneth Paltrow at the Brentwood Country Mart with daughter Apple and some friends earlier this week. And this is supposed to be wrong. Of course. No one wants to see children harassed. But my position is that if they can't agree one where the line is, among them, these celebrities, then how is anyone else supposed to be figure it out? Is the question really privacy here, or is it about control?
Consider this:
Every day my inbox gets hit with emails from publicists and marketing firms promoting their products, often seen on celebrities.
Today at 9:48am, a message came in from a PR agency about a pair of jeans.
The title of the message:
MEDIA ALERT: Gwyneth Paltrow Wears Frame for Goop Denim
The photo attached was this one:
I've just licenced it, and several others from the same pap in the same series, from the photo agency.
In the body of the message, this was the description:
Los Angeles, CA – Tuesday, April 29th, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a pair of Frame for goop Exclusive "Le Garcon" jeans in Lincoln while shopping at The Brentwood Country Mart. This style retails for $229.00 and is available at http://www.goop.com/shop/frame-exclusive-le-garcon-boyfriend-jean-in-lincoln.html.
So they're promoting a pair of jeans, as seen from a paparazzi image, taken when the kids were around, and redirecting the purchase of those jeans …BACK TO HER WEBSITE. They're telling you that you can buy the jeans she's wearing, AS SHOWN TO YOU BY THE PAPS, the dirty dirty paps, on GOOP.com.
And again, is this about privacy or is it about control?
PS. I love your hoodie, Gwyneth. Can I buy it on GOOP?

One of the perks of committing your life to the noble profession of teaching is the prospect of a summer off. Yet, many new teachers soon learn that not working during July and August isn't financially possible. Others just get bored and crave the daily stimulation that comes with holding down a job. No matter what your reason is for taking on summer work, there are quite a few jobs that take advantage of the teaching skills you put to use from September through June.
1. Tutor
Tutoring is probably the most obvious after-school job for teachers; in fact, you might even already provide after-school tutoring sessions for your students. One-on-one instruction can also provide a welcome alternative to the September–June routine if you decide to tutor in a subject different from the one you usually teach. Tutoring tends to pay very well—in the range of $30 to $100 per hour.
2. ESL teacher
If you are a foreign language teacher or a multilingual English teacher, a job teaching English as a Second Language may be a good fit for you. Like tutoring positions, ESL jobs tend to be one-on-one situations, giving you a break from the difficulties of managing an entire class. You'd also be performing a very valuable service by helping someone communicate better in a country that is still dominantly English-speaking. Part-time ESL teachers tend to make up to $24 per hour.
3. Test-prep teacher
Most American students are expected to perform well on standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT in order to progress through the educational system. While the classroom is becoming more and more geared toward preparing students for such tests, most students still do the majority of their test prep outside of normal class hours.
Since summer is the ideal time for students to get ready for the tests they are required to take, it is also the ideal time for teachers to lead such classes. Instructors for companies such as Kaplan earn about $24 per hour.
4. Summer learning program teacher
For many kids, summer learning loss can be a real problem—students forget what they learned during the school year while taking it easy over a long vacation. Summer learning programs can help reduce learning loss by keeping kids in the swing of using their brains. Companies such as Catapult Learning are dedicated to keeping the educational ball rolling during summer months, and they need teachers like you to do the job. The pay is competitive, too—teachers can even earn up to $1,000 a week, depending on the program and subject.
5. Camp counselor
So we've been focusing a lot on teaching here, but maybe you just need a break from that kind of work for a couple of months a year. Fair enough. You can still take advantage of your ability to communicate with and organize kids as a camp counselor. The activities you plan and perform in the great outdoors may be the perfect alternative to teaching in a cramped classroom during the chillier months. The average camp counselor only makes $230 per week, but that figure rises to $310 for head counselors.
6. Tour guide
Like counseling campers, guiding tours is in the vicinity of teaching without duplicating the work you have to do most of the year. The outdoor parks or sites and museum environments in which tour guides work provide a pleasant break from the typical classroom, yet you'd still be addressing and instructing groups of people. Since there is a wide variety in the kinds of places through which you might guide a tour, there is wide variation in how much you could get paid as a tour guide. The average ranges from $50–$150 per day, which can be a nice supplement to your usual teaching salary.

What was your first exposure to Daniel's Music?
October 08, 2003, 03:56:26 PM »
Okay, here's a thought...
What was your very first exposure to hearing Daniel's music? Did a friend give you a tape? Hear something in the background of "Slacker" or "Kids?" Maybe it was through another band's cover.
Myself, I was visiting an Actor/Musician friend of mine in Wilkes-Barre Pa. about 6 years ago. Before I returned home, I asked him to let me borrow something interesting to listen to for the ride back to Wilmington, Delaware (about a 2-hour drive) What he gave me was a dubbed cassette someone handed to him in NYC years earlier of "Hi, How Are You?"
The damage was done. I wore that little white cassette tape out. There was next to nothing on the web at that time, just a few articles here and there. Spotty at best. Finally contacted Jeff at Stress and thus begun my nearly dangerous preoccupation with all things Daniel.
One more metaphor, if I may. I heard a story once, that when William Burroughs met Allen Ginsberg for the first time, he handed the poet a copy of Oswald Spengler's "Decline of the West" and said, "Here. Educate yourself!" Continuing that tradition, I now do the same with Daniel's music.

I heard 'Summer Time' from 'It's Spooky' on Lee & Herring's radio show when I was 13 and it scared the **** out of me...I taped all their shows but that night rewound the tape and recorded the remainder of the show over that bit, so I never caught the name nor did I want to hear it again. When I saw L&H live in Carlisle a year and a half later, they played many of the unusual songs they had played on the Radio One show before they came on stage, and oh **** there it was, "Nooo ooone understaaands youuuu...."
I had definately seen the name about various places, and had noticed copies of 'Fun' and 'It's Spooky' in shops but never took it in, just knew that he must be some american indie guy. I got hold of Wilco's 'A Shot In The Arm' single and noticed 'True Love Will Find You In The End' was written by Daniel Johnston, which was got buried at the back of my mind, as did noticing the same thing about The Pastels 'Speeding Motorcycle'. Anyway, I heard good things about Half Japanese and I assumed Jad and Daniel were members (for some reason) so I downloaded a bunch of Half-Japanese songs and thought they were pretty good. It wasn't until I found a messageboard discussion thread about unrequited love songs that I heard Daniel: someone recommended 'Laurie' as being the ultimate song of this kind. I downloaded it and was blown away, it sounded like some mad kind of murder ballad with great lyrics but I never thought it would be a true story.
I started downloading Daniel's songs according to the titles I liked, stuff like 'Despair Came Knocking' and 'Impossible Love' and thought they we're
what I was looking for, and then I heard 'I Remember Painfully' which was almost too much. It reminded me of Jonathan Richman but taking that method of writing much further and it sounded scary and very, very real. I had to get hold of some CDs and do some research. It was only then that I found out about Daniel's illness and it sort of put the urgency of something like 'I Remember Painfully' in perspective a bit more. I read every online article I could find and bought what few CDs I could get in Scotland. I got a CD burner for the main purpose of downloading the tapes (legally) off Emusic and went on a mini-crusade to get all the CDs that I could. The rest is history, I've raved about Daniel's music to most people I know and managed to get some others listening too - you can imagine my jealousy at my friend Alex finding a vinyl copy of 'Artistic Vice' in the only record shop in Dumfries...
At no point in the last couple of years has my appreciation, fascination and enthusiasm for Daniel calmed down and I still think he might be the best ever.....

It was about 7years ago, and I was in Vermont, at the end of my junior college year. A friend of mine said to me "Have you ever heard of Daniel Johnston?" I said "No, can't say I have". He said "If I introduce you to his music, you promise me you'll be a fan of his?" since this was a good friend telling me this, I took him at face value and said "sure".
and lo and behold, I've been a fan ever since.
I've tried the same tactic on other people, but its never really worked.

i had heard of daniel for a long time before making the plunge. i have to admit that even though i hate to hear it now it was some of his antics i read about that roused my curiosity. but one word that always stuck with me when i read about his music was HONESTY. well twice a year i venture back to my old stomping grounds (houston) to see friends and family and to load up on all the music i cant get in the small town that i moved to. one record store i have gone to for well over 10 years (vinal edge) had some daniel in stock and i asked the owner chuck about daniel and he said something like "oh man that guy is great everything he has put out is great" then he walks behind the counter a gets a stack of polaroids of daniel and proceeds to tell me that he comes in every few months and is one of his favorite customers!! he said daniel will come in and do some trades and hang out for a few minutes and shoot the breeze. i had to ask about the tales of insanity and such and chuck said" well its obvious he is battleing some demons but nonetheless he is always super nice and always has a good story to tell, super cool guy no doubt about it" i could not help but notice the guy behind him nodding in agreement. well i bought rejected unknown and chuck said if i wanted to take the disc with me and leave the case there he would have daniel sign it for me but i was not sure when i would make it back down so i declined. well when i listened to it i was expecting more lo-fi. when the second song funeral girl came on well needless to say i was blown away and hooked from that point on. a funny part to this story is that when i was going to visit friends i would take the cd with me to play for them well my glovebox is so full of junk that somehow my cd fell down into the dash and after having my wife veto the idea of yanking out the dash to recover it i had no choice but to go back and buy me a new copy!!!! i have since sold that car to a friend with the clause that if he ever junks it that i be able to rip out the dash and recover my cd...........he looked at me as if i was nuts but damnit that car ate my cd and i want it back. ever since my discovery of daniel i have not looked back and have gotten all his releases and gotten a rather large pile of bootlegs. in fact my whole family digs on daniel he is just awesome. i have to admit i am a cheap bastard but when i set out money for a daniel johnston tape/cd i know i will get my moneys worth. never ever have i been dissapointed and with his body of work being so big that is saying something. well thank you members of the forum for sharing your stories with me and chuck if you ever read this thanks a million for the introduction to daniel and for always making sure your shelves have some daniel on it. you changed my life in a way! THANKS!

my first exposure to the great music of Daniel Johnston was when i was listening to a DJ show on radio done by Eddie Vedder.. he played "A Little Story" and "Joy Without Pleasure".. after those 2 songs, i was hooked..
then i did more research and realized Cobain liked his music too.. any musician who had the respect of Vedder and the late great Cobain has to be good.. so i went to museumoflove.com and ordered all the casettes and hi how are u shirt..

My first exposure to Daniel's music was in a now-defunct record store in Belmar, N.J. that my friend Eric tended - one day in 1994 I wandered in, and he said: "You've got to hear THIS guy..." and played the first track off of "Fun." I was hooked within a matter of seconds, and haven't stopped yet
. Funny thing is, my friend soon lost interest in Daniel's music, and didn't like "1990" when I played it for him some time later - he said it was too depressing. I think that's interesting, because I've never found Daniel's music to be depressing - heartwrenching at times, sad at times - but sad and beautiful at the same time, which makes up for it.
Two other things...
I created an Excel file of Daniel's performances. After a bit more polishing, I don't see why that couldn't be made available to anyone here who wants it. I don't know about you youngsters (snort), but there are over 700 songs now, and I'm beginning to have trouble remembering what song is on what album! (Dejected... did you get this okay? I realize you're busy... just nod yes or no...
Second other thing...
Any news on the tribute album, like further artists, or release date? I wonder what the chances are of getting one of Jeff Tweedy's performances of "True Love Will Find You In The End" on there. That would pull in X amount of Wilco fans - which I assume is the aim of the whole project, to pull in fans of the performing artists' work and introduce them to Daniel's music. Has someone remembered to invite Kathy McCarty? She was a pioneer in this kind of thing - although, come to think of it, I haven't heard anything from her AT ALL since "Dead Dog's Eyeball" and the "Sorry Entertainer" EP (sigh).

Hi Doug,
As you can see, there´s a list(tribute artists) on the website and other posts about it on the forum....
I was hoping wilco to be on the record, maybe a studio version for "true love", with Jim O´Rourke as producer...it would be "killer"!!!
But i´m satisfied with mercury rev, Sparklehorse and the Lips....
I just hope that they were all produced and engineered by the great Dave Fridman.
Doug, have you ever imagined The Beatles playing some Daniel´s songs??? It would sound great!!!!
...and......that excel file would be great for all fans!!!!!!
Love to hear that organ music...........

Man, if only they could get Tom Jones to do the vocals!!!
Just kidding (he says as he ducks and dodges)!

They laughed when I sat down at the piano.
They didn't think that I could play.
But their laughter turned to amazement,

My first exposure to D.J. was through his collaboration with yo la tengo on their genious +love=yo la tengo album. It wasn't until later though that I truly discovered the brilliance of this great songwriter. Currently my favorites are the first two, songs of pain and more songs of pain. I also like his other albums, but I find myself going back to the first two. Daniel+piano+boombox=magic...

I'd heard of Daniel over the years , maybe first in the Record reviews of Psychotronic video mag back in the early 90s, but didn't really pay much attention.
The big thing for me was Kathy McCarty's cover of 'Living Life' at the end of Before Sunrise. 'Honest, direct and beautiful' is how I'd describe it. Then, on the credits, 'composed by Daniel Johnston'. Things didn't really click until a month or so ago, when Before Sunset opened in the UK. I ordered a copy of the soundtrack (to both movies) because, amongst others, 'Living Life' is on it..
I'd also heard DJ mentioned in old interviews by a great band who never got much attention , House of Freaks. (although their first two albums have now been re-released on CD , Monkey on a Chain gang , and Tantilla , and I'd recommend them to all).
So I'd heard the name for years , but did a search on Google a couple of weeks ago, and the rest is recent history! I bought Rejected Unknown and Fear Yourself , and more CDs will be following once I get paid at the end of the month! I'm pretty floored by the music and art - all the things that others have said about truth, honesty, beauty I'd agree with. And the man can write a damn good song.
Looking forward to the tribute album...

The American newspaper industry has only itself to blame for the fate it faces.
I wrote that line above this weekend as the start of a post that turned out to be rather pissy, and so I've tried to tone it down. But when newspapers most need brave strategic action, bold reinvention, and new blood, I saw too much evidence in the last few days of the business still whining for sympathy, praying for unrealistic rescue, hopelessly grasping to hold onto old ways, and trying to blame others — mainly, stockholders — for their problems. Instead, I believe, they should be digging deep to rediscover their true value, reinvent their relationship with the public they still want to serve, and rethink the business around the new opportunities more than the challenges of the new media world.
I see the evidence of this Eeyore thinking from the industry Sunday in Richard Siklos' York Times story about newspaper companies and Wall Street; in Jon Fine's Business Week column about the complete pickle the Los Angeles Times is in; in a survey of newspaper executives who realize — about a decade too late — that they should have been cooperating; and mostly in a $2 million American Press Institute consultant-and-task-force industry extravaganza just released.
It's sadly fitting that the API report, called Newspaper Next, landed as a 91-page PDF, requiring me to print it out on paper and run out of ink just to read it, with no opportunity to interact with it. I won't say that there aren't some good ideas in the report or in newspapers today. But as Susan Mernit says, the industry's $2 million might have been better spent on real development instead of just blather.
Yet the real problem the report exposes is cultural inertia, the inability to think in radically new ways and to blow up old assumptions. I feared when the project was announced that they saw their job as fending off threats to newspapers rather than exploiting new opportunities for journalism. When I heard an early version of their recommendations, I warned that they were taking false comfort from making tiny steps when what is needed is an atomic bomb.
But I fear it's worse than that. From the evidence of the report, the industry's elders still have not broken out of their old worldview. They still look at us as an "audience" and "consumers" (or, more often now, "nonconsumers"). They believe that we want them to — this is their alliterative festival — enlighten, educate, enrich, entertain, engage, or empower us. Past a few references to the ability of the public to create content now, the greatest value they see in this trend is that we can provide them with free content to save money. They still think their core product is papers and news web sites and believe their salvation is in developing portfolios of products. For that matter, they think they are in the business of producing a product, still.
But isn't journalism a service more than a product? And doesn't this new world enable us to expand journalism through collaboration? What's lost in this is the essential value that I believe news organizations provide: connecting people with information and each other. And I think what's moved off centerstage, ironically, is journalism and the value it brings. Yes, of course, they are trying to preserve journalism by preserving the business. But they're so busy trying to protect the "core product" and the old businesses that I don't see them ask the real core questions: How can we expand journalism? I'll spare you my screeds on networks and relationships.
One bit of good news is that they see the bad news; they are willing to criticize themselves: "The public is migrating away from us, happily discovering new freedoms, opportunities and choices in a new world of infinite information. . . . For newspaper companies, the very newspaper itself — its form, function, history, role in society and demanding production processes — creates blinders that make it hard to comprehend the fundamental changes happening around them."
But the task force that made this report and many of the projects that come out of it are still insular, with very little effort to get new voices, fresh blood. One company did not seem to involve its online people in new products. Another focused on changing the paper's own internal structure for innovations. Another redesigned its existing web site.
By contrast, WickedLocal.com in Plymouth, Mass., is a promising attempt to build through collaboration in hyperlocal. Nearby, the Boston Globe serves small advertisers by placing ads for them in Google and Yahoo; the fact that the ads aren't in the paper or its site should give one pause but this is an attempt to serve new advertisers in new ways in an open world and so I'll applaud the attempt. As I said above, there are some good ideas here.
And it's good to hear the industry talking, at long last, about trying to cooperate with each other. I lived through too many hellish task force meetings in the ill-fated New Century Network industry consortium, which proved nothing but that newspapers cannot get along; they all think they're special and they're all quite addicted to the independence of operating as local monopolies. Now they realize that they've made it too difficult for advertisers to give the industry money. I fear this realization comes too late. Google has long since brilliantly exploited that weakness — to the point that Google is becoming a sales agent for newspapers and newspapers a sales agent for Google.
: Now let's get real and go to Los Angeles, where the Times is battling for its body and soul. This is being painted too often as a fight among shareholders — in Tribune Tower, in the Chandler family, and in Wall Street — but as Siklos' New York Times story says: "It's tempting to paint Wall Street as the bad guy in this, but the relatively brief history of the Street and the press is more complicated." Jon Fine's column makes it clear that private ownership for the paper is neither likely nor a panacea.
But I say that the rescue of the LA Times has nothing whatsoever to do with ownership or share prices or EBITDAs or newsroom staff sizes. No, the only thing that will rescue this news organization formerly known as a newspaper is innovation. Make that revolution. Instead of standing up to Chicago to save heads in the old newsroom, the editor and publisher should be looking out into their communities and figuring out how to reinvent what the LA Times can be with new (and often more efficient) ways to gather and share news. They should be trying to find new ways make connections among people and enable them to do what they want to do, whether that involves information or commerce.
But it's hard to manage and even harder to innovate in a crisis. But that's where the American newspaper finds itself today: in the 9th inning of a game of crisis. Their Newspaper Next PDF might have been an acceptable step in a process of change in, oh, 1995. But now, I fear, it's just a beach towel on the Titanic.
: So what the hell would I do? What would you do? In subsequent posts, I'll suggest we explore that.

The smell of coffee cooking was a reason for growing up, because children were never allowed to have it and nothing haunted the nostrils all the way out to the barn as did the aroma of boiling coffee.
- Edna Lewis
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
- T.S. Eliot
No one can understand the truth until he drinks of coffee's frothy goodness.
- Sheik Abd-al-Kadir
Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.
- Turkish Proverb
A few hours later, my "kavhe" virginity was forever lost. That dinky ibrik was so cute - a foodie toy par excellence! - and the fine-ground coffee looked terribly tempting in it's somewhat exotic and retro packaging that I had to play with them IMME-DIA-TELY!
Needless to say that I immediately enamored myself with this strong beverage's exhalirating aromas, pungent richness as well as intense, luscious, fresh, full-bodied and divine flavor. Quite mind-blowing and totally irresistible! And to top that fabulous experience, the whole preparation process enraptured me - it can be compared to meditation as it requires patience, relaxes you, builds up your craving and puts you in the right mindset for reaching "kaffa" nirvana. The Turks really understand how the mechanisms of gustatory pleasure work...
I cannot imagine living without this marvelous fluid as it is vital for my overall well-being and dear to the sensual gourmet I am, hence I solely purchase quality coffee and steer clear from bad products. Therefore, when I was approached by Sea Island Coffee my foodie geekness was awakened. How could I refuse the opportunity to try two of their luxurious samples? There was no way I was going to decline their enticing offer.*
Anyway, both the coffees I was given to judge were so impressive and tantalizing that I got blown away by their overwhelmingly distinctive personality, sheer uniqueness and top-class sublimity. Definitely nothing meanstream or cheap here, trust me. As a matter of fact, pure mouth-orgasm is guaranteed with every swig!
This ancient and very rare Ethiopian wild coffee variety is grown on the Coffea Diversa plantation in Costa Rica (close to the Panamean border) which has pioneered the botanical garden approach to coffee cultivation. Aromatically complex, yet mild, this stunning coffee delivers notes of lavender, cocoa and hints of molasses.
* Please note that I only promote things that stay true to my tastes, convictions and interests. The opinions expressed on Rosa's Yummy Yums are purely my own and based upon my personal experiences with SEA ISLAND COFFEE. I was not paid nor asked to publish a positive review.

"Bishop Gérald Caussé," Ensign, May 2012, 138
Bishop Gérald Caussé
First Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric
From his childhood, Bishop Gérald Jean Caussé, recently called as the First Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, always found happiness in Church service. That was a good thing, he said, because in his small branch in Bordeaux, France, everyone was needed to keep the unit running. In addition to serving in Aaronic Priesthood quorums throughout his youth, he served as the Primary pianist at age 12, as a counselor in the Sunday School presidency at age 14, and as the Sunday School president at age 16.
"Serving in the Church helped me get my testimony," he said. His father, who served several times as branch president and bishop, was particularly instrumental in Bishop Caussé having a positive experience.
"When I was a teenager, he would involve me in doing home teaching or visiting families in need," Bishop Caussé said. "Watching him was probably the best learning experience in preparing for priesthood leadership."
Later, Bishop Caussé served as ward clerk, elders quorum president, high priests group leader, bishop's counselor, stake president's counselor, stake president, Area Seventy, and most recently as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy.
Bishop Caussé was born in Bordeaux, France, in May 1963, to Jean and Marie-Blanche Caussé. He served in the French Air Force for a year as a young man, where he was assigned to a NATO agency.
He earned a master's degree in business from ESSEC in 1987. He began his career in strategy consulting, where he spent six years working for a consulting firm's Paris and London offices. He later worked for a major retail group in Europe, and just prior to his call to the First Quorum of the Seventy in 2008, he was working as the general manager and a member of the board for France's largest food distributor.
He and Valérie Lucienne Babin were married in August 1986 in the Bern Switzerland Temple. They have five children.


text: as I understand codomains means codomains and subdomains in ispconfig, is that right? another question is, maybe rather a feature request, if you could modify ispconfig so that when I create a site and check create DNS there is also a checkbox for create MX, because when I add a codomain there is a checkbox for create MX. Is there a certain reason for this or do you think it would make sense to do like I suggested?

NIGMS Recovery Act Information
NIH Recovery Act FAQs
NIGMS Recovery Act FAQs
NIGMS-Funded Recovery Act Grants
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA or Recovery Act, allows the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to provide up to 2 years of funding to accelerate the pace of scientific research in order to help stimulate the economy and create and/or retain jobs.
We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to further the mission of NIGMS and plan to use the approximately $500 million we will receive for stimulus funding by:
Please note that we are still developing our policies and procedures.
You should check both our
Website and the
NIH Website frequently for the most up-to-date information. We also encourage you to read all funding announcements carefully.
Along with the opportunities provided by the Recovery Act comes an unprecedented commitment to transparency and accountability. Before applying for funding, please be aware of the following:
Aside from scientific merit, we will consider the following factors in selecting awards:
The purpose of the Recovery Act is to promote economic recovery and create and/or retain jobs in the United States. Grants that
only involve foreign sites are not eligible for Recovery Act funds. Please refer to specific funding notices at
http://grants.nih.gov/recovery for information about whether foreign components are allowed.
The applicant must be able to expend the Recovery Act funding within the budget period(s) reflected on the Recovery Act award, with the expectation that the majority of the Recovery Act funds received will be spent within 2 years.
Because early stage investigators (ESIs) who receive 2-year Recovery Act funding will lose their ESI/New Investigator eligibility for future awards, we will carefully consider investigator status in making awards.
We encourage individuals from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research, individuals with disabilities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in all Recovery Act funding opportunities.
According to the Recovery Act provisions, funded recipients must meet detailed
reporting requirements, including, but not limited to, quarterly reporting. Recovery Act-related reporting requirements will be incorporated as special terms of award. The full text of these terms approved for NIH awards can be found in the
Standard Terms and Conditions for ARRA Awards. In addition, see the NIH notice describing specific business processes for Recovery Act funding.
Given the high volume of applications we anticipate receiving, our staff will not be able to respond to individual inquiries about the status of a funding request. Once you submit an application, check your eRA Commons account for this information.
We will issue a Notice of Award for approved requests. We will send a separate communication indicating if an administrative supplement request has not been recommended for funding.
We will accept requests for administrative supplements to active NIGMS research grants as described in
NOT-OD-09-056, "NIH Announces the Availability of Recovery Act Funds for Administrative Supplements."
We will consider administrative supplements to all areas of science and training we support, including active NIGMS research grants (Rs), research center and program project grants (Ps), certain career development awards (Ks), institutional training grants (Ts), cooperative agreements (Us), research-related programs (SCs, S06), educational development awards (e.g., R25s) and Native American Research Centers for Health (Y01s).
For more details on research training and career development awards, see the
section below.
We will not consider administrative supplements to fellowships (Fs) and conference grants (U13s, R13s).
Please note that Recovery Act monies added to parent grants through administrative supplements are exempted from the budget cap specified in the original funding announcements.
Also note that we are not participating in the NIH program of administrative supplements providing summer research experiences (NOT-OD-09-060), but we can support summer students through administrative supplements to other grants.
You must prepare applications as described in the
funding announcement. In addition, we require the following items as part of a thorough, well-justified request. If you do not clearly address all of these elements, it may delay consideration of your request.
You are strongly encouraged to send your administrative supplement request to NIGMS at
email@example.com. We also will accept requests mailed to the grants management specialist for your grant. A hard copy of the application is not required. Applications received on or before July 15, 2009, will be considered for funding in FY2009. Applications received after July 15, 2009, may be considered for funding in FY2010.
We also strongly encourage you to submit administrative supplement requests as early as possible, since we consider and fund them on a rolling basis. July 15, 2009, is not a due date, but rather is the latest date to ensure that we will consider a request for up to 2 years of funding. Requests received after July 15 will typically be eligible for up to 1 year of funding in FY2010.
For advice and answers to questions about administrative supplement requests, see
tips for requesting recovery act administrative supplements.
If you propose scientifically related components that expand the scope of a project, you must submit the application as a revision. We will accept requests for revisions to active NIGMS research grants (or those in no-cost extensions) as described in
NOT-OD-09-058, "NIH Announces the Availability of Recovery Act Funds for Competitive Revision Applications."
We will consider revisions in all areas of science we support, including active NIGMS research grants (Rs), research center and program project grants (Ps) and cooperative agreements (Us). We will not accept revisions to individual or institutional K awards, institutional training grants, fellowships (Fs), R25, SC1, SC2, SC3 or conference grants (U13s, R13s).
If the parent award was non-modular, a competing revision request must include a budget in non-modular format, regardless of dollar level.
If the parent award was modular, a competing revision request for $250,000 direct costs or less should include a budget using the modular format. (For ARRA reporting purposes, a detailed budget will be required as part of Just-In-Time information prior to award.) If the competing revision request is greater than $250,000 direct costs, include the detailed budget component.
In addition, the period of support requested for the revision cannot exceed the current project period end date of the parent grant, including projects on a no-cost extension. Also, a no-cost extension must be in place before the revision application is submitted.
Note that, as described in
NOT-OD-09-083, you should submit revision applications on paper for those activities that have not transitioned to electronic submission. This includes program project grants (P01), center grants (e.g., P20, P30, P50), cooperative agreements (e.g., U01) and applications that were submitted initially as R01s but converted at the time of award to a U series (usually U01).
Submit the original application and three signed photocopies to:
Center for Scientific ReviewNational Institutes of Health6701 Rockledge Drive, Room 1040, MSC 7710Bethesda, MD 20892-7710 (U.S. Postal Service Express or regular mail)Bethesda, MD 20817 (for express/courier service; non-USPS service)
In addition, submit two photocopies to:

For further information, contact:
Paul Sheehy, Ph.D.Deputy Associate Director for Extramural ActivitiesNational Institute of General Medical SciencesNational Institutes of firstname.lastname@example.com
We will not accept revisions to individual or institutional K awards, institutional training grants, fellowships (Fs) or R25s in response to
Recovery Act funds must not be used to increase stipends, trainee-related expenses or any other training/fellowship budget cost categories on training grants or fellowships, nor may they be used to increase the overall number of slots in excess of Council-approved levels.
We intend to accept administrative supplements to research training and career award mechanisms as indicated below.
We do not intend to use Recovery Act funds for extensions and will not accept requests in response to
NOT-OD-09-056 for fellowship extensions.
K08/K23/K25: We will accept requests for administrative supplements to funded K08, K23 and K25 awards for up to $50,000 direct costs per year (not including facilities and administrative, or F&A, costs) for research development support. F&A costs, which were formerly called indirect costs, will be reimbursed at 8 percent of direct costs. These funds cannot be used for principal investigator salary. A mentor's statement is not required for this supplement request.
K12: We will accept requests for administrative supplements to funded K12 awards to extend the terms of currently appointed postdoctoral students who are in their third year of training or to add slots for third-year postdoctoral students who had been supported previously by other means. Funds can be requested for research and teaching development support costs. These funds cannot be used for principal investigator or program director salary.
K99: We will accept requests for administrative supplements for an additional year of support for funded transition career awards (K99). We will consider requests on a case-by-case basis from individuals in the last 6 months of their final year of K99 support; we will give priority to individuals who can demonstrate that they have made a good-faith effort in applying for research positions.
T32: We will consider supplementing institutional training grants to add additional trainees for FY2009 and 2010 up to the Council-recommended level of slots; however, at this time,
ARRA requests from grantees for additional slots for these programs are not required. We will give priority to programs with relatively small numbers of slots. These additional trainee slots will be limited to 2 years for FY2009 awards and 1 year for FY2010 awards.
T34: We will consider administrative supplements to MARC U-STAR programs for student development activities and program management allowed under the program announcement. These funds cannot be used for principal investigator or program director salary. Additional student slots may be requested, but they will be a low priority for funding.
T36: We will consider requests for administrative supplements to MARC Ancillary Training Activities awards.
Contact the program director or grants management specialist (listed on the Notice of Award) of the grant you wish to supplement.

If you are located in Eastvale, California, and this is the first time you are being visited by the MONSTER, there is no need for panic or fear when preparing for the day we come out to clean your carpet, upholstery, or any required areas.
Here are the easiest steps that you can follow:
- Remove any valuable, breakable, or electronic items from the areas to be cleaned and from the path between the cleaning areas and the door.
- Mark any spots that need extra attention - stains, spots, odors or areas that may need repair - so that they are easily identifiable for us upon arrival. Sticky notes or colored tape work well.
- We always respect your privacy and will not open doors that are closed in your home. If you would like the carpets in your closets or any room cleaned, please be sure that the door is open and that you inform us that you want the area cleaned. Remove all moveable items (e.g. toys, shoes, etc.) from the floor of all rooms to be cleaned, including any closets, before the technician arrives.
- We will need access to a water hook-up, so please be sure that the property has water service on the date of the clean.
- We will need to park our large van as close to an entry as possible. Please be sure that a parking spot is available and that other vehicles, bikes, etc. are not blocking the area. We need a clear driving corridor to and from the parking spot to ensure that there is no damage to any of your personal property.
Be aware that we clean by hot-water extraction with our truck-mounted unit. Depending on the type, the carpet will take normally 3-6 hours to dry when we are completed with the cleaning. We will leave plastic booties for you and your family to slip over your shoes if you need to walk on the carpets before they are completely dry. You must leave the property ventilated until carpets are completely dry. Cracking windows is generally sufficient. If speed drying is necessary, we also place a high-powered fan in any single particular area, if not all of them.
- Pets should be removed from the areas to be cleaned during your appointment and until the carpets are dry. They can be placed in a bathroom, or any other area that is not required to be cleaned. An outside entry (front door/garage entrance) to your home will be open during the cleaning to allow our hose access, so pets need to be confined away from the carpets, not just let outside.
And once we arrive, we'll be able to start the cleaning process right away!
If you have any questions on any of our services, or if we can be of further assistance to you, feel free to call us at (800) 848-8385 or visit our website to learn more!
