Fiscal Year Winding Down, Annual Fund Needs a Boostby Mark Shreve • June 23, 2004 Share:
Professor Fischer pointing out the Forum
Allen Athletics and Recreation Center. The $25 million, 170,000 square foot building provides nothing less than the very finest in athletic, recreation, fitness, and wellness facilities for Wabash students, faculty and staff, and alumni.
Professor Polley with students
There will be time to celebrate the conclusion of the Campaign and the fiscal year later this summer, but for now, there is still work to be done on behalf of the College. The annual fund still needs approximately $375,000 and 500 new donors to reach this year's goal. Please consider making a gift to the annual fund while there is still time to be a part of this historical effort on behalf of Wabash College.
Since the start of the Campaign in 1998, the Campaign for Leadership has provided many new opportunities for students—immersion learning courses, research internships, faculty/student programs, and an improved environment for learning. In the past six years, the College has seen the campus transform physically with the addition of the new and renovated science facilities, athletic and recreation facilities, a new Malcolm X Institute, and Trippet Hall, which houses the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts.
While these building projects and new programs have been progressing, Wabash alumni and friends have answered the call to support Wabash during this historical time. In the past six years, the annual fund has grown from $2.1 million to $2.8 million—a sign that Wabash alumni and friends are passionate about continuing the level of education that has marked Wabash for 172 years.
As the fiscal year and the Campaign for Leadership come to an end, it is clear that Wabash has maintained its traditional mission of educating young men while improving facilities and opportunities.

Strikeforce middleweight Lorenz Larkin may only be 26 years old but he seems to have the mentality of a Mixed Martial Artist from the "old school". An unbeaten prospect, Larkin has been forced to twiddle his thumbs on two separate occasions based on divisional champion Luke Rockhold's decision to pull out of a scheduled scrap as the result of injury. Though Larkin was understanding the first time around, Rockhold's most recent withdrawal isn't sitting well with the 13-0 striker and inspired him to lash out at the current state of his sport.
"Hey Dana I hurt my right pinky toe guess I can't fight," wrote Larkin on Twitter in a message directed at UFC President Dana White. "Wish I started two years before I did so I could have skipped this pussy era."
Larkin's harsh label echoes White's own statements about the increasing number of fighters who either back out of bouts for minor health-related reasons or refuse to accept action without a complete camp to prepare.
"The Monsoon" is currently sitting in limbo while waiting for Strikeforce to confirm Rockhold's status, as well as announce how he is to be handled in the wake of his opponent's withdrawal. With a January 12 date attached to the company's next show, plenty of time remains for the organization to find a replacement.

Granny: Royals & Rupert
Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman didn't look great at the BAFTA Gala the other night with Will & Kate. I wonder if it's been too long between forehead shots and fillers. And that little piece of fringe that kept coming loose off her side part was such an awkward way to style her hair. Definitely not Gran's best outing.
But she was more animated and expressive than we've seen in a long time. Maybe it was the challenge that Megan Fox threw down last week. Maybe Gran was all like, I can move my face too! Maybe Gran is a Royalist. Maybe that's why she was so jacked to see the Cambridges.
Did anyone ask her that night about her friend Rupert Murdoch and the trouble he's been having with the now defunct News of the World? It's not likely. But there was a time when Nicole wasn't so distant from Murdoch. As mentioned already, she is godmother to his two youngest daughters. And I wonder, since it's been so allegedly challenging for high profile members to leave the Church of Scientology without attacks and retribution (see here if you want to get the chills, chills, chills), whether or not Mr Murdoch's influence (and financial backing) would have helped to smooth that; Nicole's transition was considered smooth, save for the fact that her children were probably instructed by Xenu to cut her off. That is a conversation we've had before, many times. See the archives.
Today's discussion is about Murdoch and his celebrity friends. And, as happy as his editors were to cross whatever line to get the story on princes, politicians, and celebrities, were there those who were spared if they were close to their boss?
All I know is that around the time Kidman married Keith Urban, News of the World was presented with a story about them, specifically Urban, that was terribly unflattering. With what appeared to be evidence at least worth following up on. They didn't end up running it. And I'm told they didn't even bother pursuing it. Now the excuse is that there wasn't enough to go on, or they simply didn't believe it. But that paper has published a LOT more on a lot LESS about people who don't happen to be friends with the owner. All I'm asking is – Coincidence or Conspiracy?

Nia Vardalos didn't enter motherhood with ease. This Canadian-born, Second City-trained actress and author (most well known for writing and starring in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding,") pulls back the curtain on her struggles to become a mom in her new book, "Instant Mom" (Harper One).
"We're all instant moms — no matter how your child has come to you, no one is ever prepared for this daunting responsibility of keeping a child alive," she said.
Vardalos adopted a daughter in 2008 with her husband, actor Ian Gomez, after a decade of trying to become a mom.
"We struggled with fertility treatments and then we had so many 'almosts' with the adoption process and it was heartbreaking," she said. "When we were finally matched with a 3-year-old girl who was in foster care I realized all of those mis-steps that didn't work out — they were meant to not happen. I would do it all again because every single thing that didn't work led me to this incredible little girl. "
Daughter Ilaria is now a "thriving" 7-year-old.
"Every day there's a new discovery," Vardalos said. "She was telling a story in the kitchen the other day about how she was going to kiss a boy but there's a 'no-kissing' policy in school and she was so funny about it and I just looked at her thinking, 'I can't believe how she's grown up into this amazing little person.'"
In honor of Mother's Day, here are some lessons Vardalos has learned through the process of becoming a mom:
Support other moms.
"I met mothers on the playground of other 3-year-olds who looked well-groomed and rested and I looked like I was homeless because I was trying to negotiate with a child I didn't know and feed her and bathe her. And they came over and talked to me and recognized the dazed and confused look in my eyes that they themselves had when they had an infant. We became friends, and that was huge because they said, 'I've been there.' You need to have that sense of community."
Don't take it personally.
Vardalos said if our children lash out, it could have nothing to do with us.
"When my daughter would have trouble sleeping and she would cry and panic, and coming from foster care, she was so used to having people come and go," she said. "So I couldn't take this behavior personally. Just remembering this really helped me. She was in survival mode and thinking 'don't leave me.' That was really enlightening for me."
Empower your child.
"Now that she's almost 8, I let Ilaria make her own choices," she said. "For example, with food, I'm trying to give her the gift of organization and to process and so she fills her own backpack. I will make lunch for her, but I really say 'Listen to your body.' So if she says, 'I want chocolate,' and I say, 'Sure,' because she will have one bite of it and then she's done. If I withhold it then she would want more and overindulge."
Be fearless.
"When I am happiest is when I'm being a fearless idiot. I'm not talking about being reckless, like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. It's about saying 'I'm going to parachute.' I'm very happy right now because I challenge myself in that I wrote from a place of 'This is how I feel. I don't care what you think,' and that's really rare for me. And the stories people are sharing with me since I've talked about my struggles are amazing. It's opened a dialogue about being fallible and saying 'Just because I can't have my own child, doesn't mean I've failed.'"

MagicJack Tries To Silence Boing Boing; Loses And Has To Pay $50,000
from the slapp-that dept
Thankfully, BoingBoing was helped by the fact that California has a strong Anti-SLAPP law -- something that the rest of the country could use. What's more telling (and interesting) than the dismissal, however, is that MagicJack had originally agreed to settle the lawsuit, and pay BoingBoing's legal costs (after the company's CEO realized that the case was a lost cause and -- he claimed -- his own lawyers had failed to properly notify him of California law), but backed out when BoingBoing wouldn't agree to keep the lawsuit and settlement confidential.
Again, that suggests a company that knows what it's doing is shady, at best, but rather than having any interest in improving the way it goes about its business, wants to keep things hidden.
I have to admit, I really don't understand why MagicJack feels the need to work this way. It's a decent product that should be able to sell on its own merits, explaining openly what it does, rather than hiding stuff in the fine print and falsely claiming how many people are signing up to use the device. Imagine if, instead of suing and losing and getting all of this negative publicity, the company had just cleaned up its act, been open about things, apologized for its earlier mistakes and focused on building a better business?

In the last five years, readers of this column have been subjected to a variety of medical subjects, mostly serious, covering a variety of illnesses, diseases and traumas. For the holiday season, I am eschewing these sometimes ponderous subjects for selected experiences of (hopefully) greater levity.
So it was, back in Vermont, when two brothers transported a third brother from their dairy farm to the emergency room. The subject patient had a total case of the shakes, was sweaty, and had a rapid pulse alcohol withdrawal, a beer drinker.
His brothers insisted he consumed two cases daily, 48 times 12 ounces, no stubbies, and he had a beer in hand from mawnin milkin to evenin milkin. Though experiencing some incredulity, I admitted him to the hospital. I got my nose straight when his medical record revealed a prior admission when his daily consumption was a case and a half.
One Sunday afternoon, when individually owned pharmacies still existed, I took a phone call from a very distressed woman. She had confused her dogs pills with her own and had taken an unknown number. She knew neither the pills identity nor exactly for what condition they were prescribed. I called local pharmacies, but all had closed. I tried veterinarians. One remembered her (and her dog) and had prescribed a common antibiotic. Again calling the lady, I reassured her no worries and, despite all, the dogs acne had improved.
In the early 1970s, when not deployed, I worked in a Navy dispensary, weekday hours. Upon closing, one medical officer and several corpsman had the duty until reopening in the morning. The most patients Id seen in 24 hours was 104, piddling compared to the record 144. (one might suspect low acuity). The triage corpsman usually placed the chief complaint atop the record. One such read: chicken up nose. Sure enough, we removed a hunk of chicken from way up one nostril, firmly lodged there from a sneeze while eating. He declined to take the chicken home.
In late December 1970, I participated a SERE (survival, escape, resistance, evasion) class near Rangeley, Maine lead-gray skies spitting snow, below-zero cold, and wind driving the cold from sternum to spine. I was with fellow aircrews, officers and enlisted more than a few had never seen snow. The goal was to stress them to the limit: harsh conditions, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, interrogation survival itself. However, I was the medical referee, to pull students at the first signs of frostbite or any other debilitating condition. From a heated shack, a few of us viewed students outside, heavily clothed, wearing double-insulated boots, as an instructor demonstrated field-dressing small game.
The students eyes were wider than saucers: The instructor wore a flannel shirt, no hat, and his gloves were in his back pocket. Concluding his demonstration, he smiled broadly and wished the men well for their coming time in the wild. Proceeding inside, he burst forth with rapid-fire strings of expletives relating to the wind and cold. As he removed his shirt, we gasped underneath, he wore a torso belt containing a dozen-plus hand warmers.

If you're casting for the role of Sandy in a Broadway revival of Annie, you're looking for scruff, determination, and an insane amount of scrageldy cuteness. Luckily, Sunny was the dog for the job. "At her first performance at the Palace," says trainer Bill Berloni, "Sunny was curious about the applause, but not afraid of it."
For the role of dumb-dog-turned-millionaire-playboy, Sunny wan't a paw-in for the job. In fact, she was a last minute find:
The production team for "Annie" had narrowed the role of Sandy down to three canine candidates, but decided to look for a fourth. Sunny was eventually found in BARC, a Houston shelter where she was within two days of being put down.
Two days, you guys! Apparently the hunt for Sunny is chronicled in the NBC documentary Annie's Search for Sandy airing on Saturday. I suggest we all watch it at least 15 times.

VIENNA (AP) - A round-faced young man with a thick head of hair depicted in a tiny 18th century portrait that had the experts puzzled for centuries now has a name – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Researchers at Salzburg's Mozarteum museum announced Friday that they have definitely identified the person in the picture as the musical genius.
And it's not any likeness either. They say that of 14 known portraits, it is one of only a few showing him gazing directly at the viewer and without his signature white powdered wig.
Expert Cristoph Grosspietch says the museum's findings are based on examinations of the portrait and historical records of the era.
He says the same experts concluded that another portrait, showing a youth holding a bird's nest, was not Mozart, as had been believed.

Ninety per cent of New Zealanders say flexible employment options such as working from home are an important factor when looking for a new job.
But only 13 per cent of employers say they will provide greater workplace flexibility through remote working in an effort to improve productivity over the next five years, a report shows.
Experts say evolving technologies are seeing more people working from home and employers needed to open their minds if they want to attract and retain skilled workers.
The Randstad World of Work survey stems from research from 9820 employees and employers across the Asia Pacific region. In New Zealand, 1620 were surveyed, including 970 employees and 650 employers, ranging from chief executives to middle management and human resource professionals.
Asked if flexible work options were an important attribute for potential employers to have, 42.54 per cent of employees said it was very important and 47.76 said it was important.
Of the 187 respondents who were already offered flexible working conditions, 54.55 per cent said it had made them more satisfied, 41.18 per cent said it didn't make a difference and 4.28 per cent said it made them less satisfied.
When asked how it would address talent scarcity over the next decade, 18.58 per cent of employers said they will recruit more people who wanted to work remotely.
Almost 29 per cent said the biggest barrier for home-based workers was technology limitations.
Heather Douglas, owner of Bizbuz, which provides support to home-based businesses, said she had seen more older men leaving their jobs to work from home.
"After a certain age it becomes difficult for them if they are made redundant.
"Men leave the workforce and start up on their own when they are unable to get back into the workforce, whereas perhaps for women it may be a secondary income and it's less of an issue for them.
"Also, they've paid off the mortgage, the kids are out of the house and they're sick and tired of working for somebody else."
A survey by the company showed people were highly satisfied working from home, but they were earning less, Ms Douglas said.
Home versus the office
•90.3 per cent said flexible work options are very important or important.
•54.55 per cent of those who worked from home said it has made them more satisfied.
•67.89 per cent said the option of working from home was either appealing or very appealing.
•13.67 per cent will provide greater workplace flexibility to improve productivity over the next 5 years.
•18.58 per cent will recruit more people to work remotely in an effort to address talent scarcity over the next decade.
•28.7 per cent said the single biggest barrier to offering flexible working conditions was technology limitations.

YORK, Pa. – The York College men's track & field squad hosted Gettysburg, Messiah, and Washington Adventist Tuesday afternoon in York. The Spartans captured the team victory with 105 points, besting the other two teams that scored.
Wil Feliciano posted nothing short of a fantastic performance for the Green and White on Tuesday. In the 800 meters, Feliciano broke the Spartans' 20-year-old record (1:57.63 set by Christian White in 1992), establishing a new school best 1:56.90. Feliciano also anchored York's victorious 4x400 relay squad as he teamed up with John Follety, Tyler Quill, and Deion Broxton to notch the win. In the long jump, Felciano posted a third-place leap of 6.41 meters (21' 0.5").
"A great day to put that performance down," Spartan head coach Erick Camodeca said of Feliciano's showing, most notably in the 800.
Freshman standout Jamison continues to put together a stellar rookie campaign as he recorded another strong day for the Spartans. He notched first in the 400 meters with 50.49 and took second overall in the 200 with a 22.98. Jamison also contributed to both victorious relay squads he ran in both the 4x100 and 4x400 races. In the 4x100, Jamison combined with Follety, Christopher Camodeca, and Phillip Cavaluchi to post the victory.
"This was a shockingly nice performance," Camodeca remarked about York's 4x100 squad. "They had only one day of practice heading into this event.
"I was really happy with John Follety's performance," Camodeca said of Follety's showing throughout the meet. "He ran great splits in the 4x100 and 4x400. He is very versatile for us."
Cavaluchi grabbed an individual win of his own as he posted a winning leap of 6.57 meters (21' 6.75") in the long jump. He also took second overall in the javelin with a throw of 48.66 meters (159' 8").
York's talented distance crew grabbed quality points for the Spartans as Aaron Robertson and Tim Hartung each secured wins. Robertson won the 1500 meters in 4:14.31 – just ,05 ahead of second-place Hartung – while Hartung nabbed the victory in the 3000 meters with an 8:54.82. Steven Childres took third in both races with times of 4:17.96 and 9:14.92, respectively.
"The distance guys ran every single event they could," Camodeca said. "They put down great performances. We know what they can do."
Zach Rogers, who Camodeca noted "had a big day in both the long jump and triple jump," added first-place points to the Spartan ledger as he proved victorious in the triple jump. Rogers registered a trio of bounds equating to 13.10 meters (42' 4.25") to capture the win. Rogers also took fourth in the long jump (6.32 meters / 20' 9")
Drew Chowan nabbed third in the pole vault with a 3.80-meter (12' 5.5") performance while Quill tied for fifth in the long jump with a result of 6.04 meters (10' 9.75").
In the throws Marcus Bailey took second overall in the discus with a toss of 41.79 meters (137' 1"). Austin Dubos, who Camodeca said "threw really well," nabbed third in both the discus (39.38 meters / 129' 2") and shot put (11.47 meters / 37' 7.75"). Alex Palescandolo secured the runner up spot in the shot put with a 12.91-meter (42' 4.25") heave while Sean McGinley snagged third in the javelin (43.25 meters / 141' 11").
The Spartans head south for their next meet as they travel to Durham, N.C. for the Duke Invitational on April 6 and 7. A contingent of student-athletes are slated to compete at the Goucher Classic in Towson, Md. on April 7.

A 94-year-old grandmother is tangling with City Hall over a crooked sidewalk on west 17th Street across from Fassbinder Park.
The city of Durango has sent Sammy Willis a letter asking her to fix the pavement in front of the 139-year-old house where she lives with a 16-year-old sheltie sheepdog named Rocky.
The sidewalk has been deemed to be unsafe for public travel because its broken and uplifted condition has created tripping hazards. And you are hereby instructed and ordered to replace such portion of the sidewalk, wrote Gregg Boysen, the city engineer, in a letter to Sammy Willis dated Aug. 29, 2012.
But Sammy Willis and her son, Bill Willis, whom she calls my Bill, contend that a city-owned tree located in the public right of way between the street and the sidewalk is responsible for uprooting the sidewalk.
Willis is indignant that the city is picking on his mother, who lives on a fixed income and whose motorized scooter cant even traverse the crooked pavement.
The citys tree has trapped her in the house, said Bill Willis, who lives in Farmington. Now, they want her to bear the cost of repairing the city walk. That seems pretty unreasonable to me.
To fix the sidewalk would cost between $1,500 and $2,000, estimated Bill Willis, who owns a construction company and who has built a backyard deck for his mother.
Bill Willis also notes that the city code holds private property owners responsible for correcting trees that become a menace to the public.
If the private property owner does not correct the menace, the ordinance states that the city arborist will see that the nuisance is corrected and the owner billed for the cost.
The owner of the tree shall be billed for the cost. The owner of the tree is the city of Durango, Bill Willis said. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
He further argues that the city has been negligent in not putting in curb cuts to make the sidewalk handicap accessible.
The city also broke federal law by putting the sidewalk notice in his mothers mailbox without any postage, he said. Organizations can be fined as much as $10,000 for such an offense.
Bill Willis defense of his mother caught city officials unprepared, not knowing how to respond to his allegations during the regular City Council meeting before Thanksgiving when City Manager Ron LeBlanc was absent.
City councilors were apologetic that Bill Willis made the trip from Farmington without being able to give him much of a response.
City Councilor Christina Rinderle suggested they make the most of it with a date night at a lovely Durango restaurant.
Councilor Dick White added that I think were all sympathetic to the sidewalk situation.
I am acutely aware of triple tripper (sidewalks) in my neighborhood, White said. On the way home from council every night, (I see) one in the shadows.
Councilor Paul Broderick thought Willis had a valid argument because Sammy Willis could not have removed the city tree.
The city manager, who watched the meeting on television, said Willis made some inaccurate statements. LeBlanc, for example, denied setting a public hearing for Sammy Willis sidewalk at the meeting earlier this month.
Because the city staff is still preparing a report on the situation for Tuesdays council meeting, LeBlanc did not want to respond further.
In regard to the Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issue, LeBlanc said such upgrades are made whenever there is a construction project. LeBlanc also called ADA an unfunded mandate since federal funding has gone away.
The city code does give the city manager the authority to require all property owners within the city to repair all sidewalks on streets in front of their property.
If the property owner refuses, the city could then put a tax lien on the property to make the owner pay for the repairs.
In the past, the city and private property owners have voluntarily split costs through a 50/50 match sidewalk program. This program was suspended in recent years because of the recession.
Because the voters have approved the La Plata Electric Association franchise fee and the city anticipates $800,000 in additional revenue next year, the city has budgeted $50,000 for 50/50 sidewalks in 2013.
Rinderle asked Bill Willis if 50/50 would be a good compromise.
Thats not really what I want, Bill Willis said at the meeting. I want the city to pay 100 percent.
Since she moved here in 1952, Sammy Willis said, Durango has been very good to me.
She and her husband, Dale, who headed a local employment office, raised five children here. Sammy Willis worked as a secretary at Fort Lewis College for 22 years, getting a grandfather clock upon retirement.
Sammy Willis is eager to see the sidewalk fixed, too. She has seen several people trip and fall, including her daughter-in-law.
Bills wife, Patty, fell, but she did not hurt herself. It has not really affected my routine, but youre always afraid someone is going to fall and hurt themselves, she said.
Sammy Willis said she is tight on money and needs to hire a caregiver to check on her and cook her meals.
She already feels isolated even without the hazardous sidewalk outside her front door.
At 94, youre pretty well trapped, she said.

At Novant Health, we support the nationwide effort to ensure that patients coming into the hospital with specific conditions receive recommended care. These recommendations are based on years of research on interventions that have been proven to improve outcomes for these conditions.
Urinary catheter associated infections are one of the most common types of infections in both the ICU setting and in the rest of the hospital. In our intensive care unit improvement team meetings, we share best practices from each hospital. We avoid placing a urinary catheter if patients can void his or her bladder without difficulty. When a catheter is needed, we use the CDC recommended guidelines on how to place the catheter in the safest manner possible using a sterile procedure, and we remove the catheter as soon as the patient no longer needs it.

Blade length: 7.10 in.Total length: 13.00 in.Blade height (at heel): 2.15 in.Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.30 in.Item weight: 10.65 oz.Shipment weight: 13.45 oz.Blade: Kasumi-yaki blade formed from a suminagashi jigane and shirogami hagane (Hrc 63-64)Handle: Makassar ebony and pakka wood
Description: Deba Hocho have a thicker blade and are suitable for cutting through meats and many other heavy cutting tasks. It is traditionally used for filleting fish as well as cutting chicken, pork and beef. Its heaviness and thickness allow for easy chopping through fish bones, while its ability to take on an extremely sharp edge allows for delicate work and the filleting of even the smallest fish.
This single-bevel knife is handmade by Hideo Kitaoka. The blade features a jigane, which is made by folding together layers of different types of carbon steels. This unique process creates a Jigane with ten exceedingly thin, alternating layers, called suminagashi or damascus. This is then forge-welded to a layer of high carbon steel (shirogami #2) and tempered to Rockwell c63 - 64. This process imparts a visual tension to the blade and a brilliant, long lasting cutting edge. Because white steel is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The octagonal handle is formed from macassar ebony with a pakka wood ferrule. The blade comes razor sharp.

Always expect the unexpected from Danai Gurira.
Over the last seven years she's quietly created memorable, diverse characters in film, theater and television including Zainab, a Senegalese street vendor in the 2007 film "The Visitor"; a Zimbabwe newscaster with HIV in the 2006 play she wrote with Nikkole Salter, "In the Continuum"; and the fierce zombie-slayer Michonne on AMC's breakout hit "The Walking Dead."
Now she brings a haunting poignancy and inner strength to her role as Adenike, a Nigerian newlywed living in Brooklyn who goes to great lengths to become pregnant in the new indie film "Mother of George," which opens Friday.
"I am a character actor," said Gurira, 35. "It's very humbling to act. It's very much wanting to do better, go deeper all the time."
The producers of "Mother of George" suggested names of several actresses they wanted to play Adenike in the intimate drama that was shot in the Nigerian immigrant community in Brooklyn. But Nigerian-born director Andrew Dosunmu was adamant that the only actress who could play that part was Gurira.
"I knew she was going to surprise," said Dosunmu.
Gurira also grew up in Africa. Born in the small Iowa college town of Grinnell — her Zimbabwean parents are academics — the family moved back to Africa when she was 5. She returned to the U.S. to attend college in St. Paul, Minn.
Dosunmu, who initially saw Gurira on Broadway four years ago in August Wilson's "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," cast her in his first film, 2011's "Restless City," as a woman who has a small hair-braiding salon in Harlem.
The two immediately clicked. "Basically our artistic vision and mission in life is telling the African story on Western soil in different, dynamic ways," said Gurira, over the phone from New York during a break in production of "The Walking Dead," which returns Oct. 13.
Besides "In the Continuum," Gurira has explored the stories of African women in her well-received plays "Eclipsed" and "The Convert."
In "Mother of George," Gurira's Adenike is initially a glowing newlywed madly in love with her husband Ayodele (Isaach de Bankole), who works with his younger brother at a restaurant in Brooklyn overseen by their strong-willed mother (Bukky Ajayi). But her happiness quickly turns to frustration and despair because she can't fulfill her mother-in-law's wedding day wish that they quickly conceive a son, which they would name George after her late husband. When she can't become pregnant, her mother-in-law suggests a rather shocking alternative.
Though the film is cultural-specific, said Gurira, it is also quite universal. "It presents a universal cultural experience — the pressure of the daughter-in-law to produce a child and the family dynamics that can sprout from that pressure and anxiety," she explained, adding that Brooklyn-based screenwriter Darci Picoult, who is white, has also struggled with fertility issues.
Gurira's not very forthcoming about the new season of "Walking Dead," other than to say she'll be riding a horse, but she won't reveal if she will be slaying zombies from the steed. "That would be considered a spoiler," she said with a laugh.
"What I love about my TV job is that it demands everything of me, physically and emotionally," said Gurira. "There are new physical challenges this year. I had to learn how to ride a horse and there are other things I do this season I have never done before. I love that because I want to be challenged — the experience of stepping into the unknown."

Study Relevance - How well the study-level metadata matches your search query.
Title A-Z - Simple alphabetic search.
Released/Updated - The date on which ICPSR first released the dataset (or updated it). This sort is really only useful for looking at what's new from ICPSR.
Time Period - The dates on which the study was undertaken. This date is generally more useful to researchers and is usually included in the study title.
Most Cited in ICPSR Bib. - Count of citations associated with the study and/or the series.
Variable Relevance - How well the study-level metadata matches your search query, as well as how well the variable-level metadata matches your query terms. Use commas to distinguish variables/concepts.

"Sources tell us that Nokia is developing a Linux-based replacement for its S40 phones, called Meltemi. The news was leaked, accurately, by the Wall Street Journal last week. Now we can confirm it. The thinking is that a Linux-based replacement for S40 will allow developers to tap into proven development tools - and Qt. The April memo referred to Meltemi as a platform for 'rich Featurephones' and stated that development will be centered in Ulm, Germany. There's no U-turn, however. Meltemi had been long-been touted as a richer successor to S40. Windows phones will occupy the budget smartphone segment, not Linux."

It's interesting that so many software companies do follow a flat instead of tall organisational structure.
This is the one business where you think there must be pretty tight synergy.
I heard microsoft has a lot of different dept politics. Dont know if it's true though.
Software developers at that level being so scarce might have something to do with the level of creative freedom allowed. To keep them there.

So many people from Appalachia share a similar heritage. Both my husband and myself, along with many others from this area are primarily of Scottish, Irish, German and Native American descent. My husband's ancestory includes French and English as well. But looking at him, you can't deny the Scottish/Irish heritage that is there. It is said that three Coleman brothers came into Appalachia orginally and helped settle and progeninate the entire Coleman population here. If that is so, they surely took well the job of extending the Coleman name, because you can't throw a rock around here and not hit a Coleman. Once, while waiting to be seated at a local restaurant, the hostess called three parties of Colemans before it was actually our turn. I think I heard two more being called while we were dining. They seem to be everywhere!
This is an ode to the heart and spirit of our Scots/Irish Ancestors. This is an ode to my husband, a strong man of faith and family who loves adventure just like his ancestors. He plays hard, loves strong, and prays daily. There is no denying the Scottish blood that runs in his veins. This is for him. But it is truly the story of all of us here in Appalachia. If you are Appalachian...this is YOUR story too...
Our Scottish ancestors were what became known as "Ulster Scots"...those who relocated from Scotland to Ulster in Northern Ireland and then intermarried with the Irish and later came to America. We are also referred to as "Scots-Irish".
We came over the Atlantic before the Declaration of Independence was even thought of. We left our homes and our families. Said goodbye to parents we would never see again. Left a land that was all we knew. We were adventurers. We faced the unknown for a dream that we held in our hearts. For us, the end of the rainbow was always just over the next hill. We were instrumental in carving a new nation out of the rock and unforgiving landscapes we found.
We landed on the shores of North Carolina and spread out across the land and spilled over the mountains of Virginia into the Shenandoah Valley and pushed on westward into the Appalachian mountains of what would become West Virginia and Kentucky. I imagine that seeing the Appalachian mountains for the first time may have faintly reminded us of our highland homes across the sea. We married native indian daughters and together, our families helped build the roads, the towns the forts, and the railroads that would forge a new nation. We are your presidents, your statesmen, your war heros, your wagon builders, your blacksmiths, your teachers, ...your friends. We are Scotsmen.
To begin to understand the trek of the Scotsman from his homeland in Ulster, Ireland towhat would become America, please take about ten minutes to enjoy this video on Ulster Scotts, set to music. You won't regret it, I promise.

Requesting support/fix for iPad Pro smart keyboards on the iOS version of the OnlyOffice Documents for mobile devices.
I currently have an iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd gen) with a Logitech Slim Combo keyboard that connects via the smart dock port. None of the keys are responsive when I'm attempting to edit a document. The soft keyboard on screen works once I detach the keyboard from the smart dock port.
This also occurs on an iPad Pro 10.5 with the similar Logitech Slim Combo keyboard for that iPad size.

Paragon National Bank will host artwork created by Westminster Academy students in the main
lobby of the bank's Saddle Creek banking center throughout March. The exhibit,
which is the bank's sixth student installation during the 2012 – 2013 school
year, is part of Paragon's ongoing effort to display artwork from area schools
in its banking center. Past exhibits include work from students at Bodine
School, Dogwood Elementary School, Houston Middle School, St. Louis Catholic
School and Woodland Presbyterian School.
"We've really enjoyed showcasing
the work of the young, talented artists in our community and believe our
customers will appreciate the latest art on display from Westminster students,"
said Robert Shaw, Chief Executive Officer at Paragon.
The latest installation features a
variety of work created by students in grades seven to twelve. Seventh and
eighth grade students created pieces by using graphite on paper, while ninth
grade students used the planar approach to produce self portraits. Students in
the twelfth grade used a quote from John Milton's "Paradise Lost" to develop their
own visualization of the statement through oil paints.
The work was created by Frannie
Kellum in seventh grade; Emily Jordan, Anna Lang, Cy Leist, Jonathan Thompson
and Kamryn Wong in eighth grade; John Garrett, Hope Howard and Georgianna Wells
in ninth grade; Emily Conrad, Grace Jorgensen, Nicole McCommon, Gia Rolen,
Annie Smith, Caroline Turner and Susie Wilson in twelfth grade.
About Westminster Academy

and apply truth by way of scripture and the classical liberal arts. For

In the last few months, Apple Maps has led me dangerously astray no less than a dozen times. It's told me to take the wrong exit off of a highway; its taken me to businesses that are shut down; it nearly forced me onto the Blue Water Bridge and into Canada when I just wanted to go to Port Huron, Michigan; and it thought our Digital Trends Portland office was on the other side of town. Why does Apple's good-looking app screw up so majorly on such a regular basis? I can't tell you, but I can say that help has arrived. Months after Apple abruptly removed Google Maps from the iPhone, Google has finally released the first version of its maps in the App Store. It was worth the wait.
Swipe it like you mean it
Google isn't developing apps for Windows Phone, but it definitely likes what it sees. The new Google Maps, like Android itself, is beginning to resemble Microsoft's critically acclaimed, but slow-selling operating system in some functional and aesthetic ways. The app is full of areas to swipe back and forth between screens. For example, a swipe on the lower right of the screen will slide open options to turn on views for traffic, public transit, satellite imagery, or Google Earth, which requires a separate app.
The user interface is flat and clean, with an easy-to-read font. There's a search bar on the top, and once you perform a search for a location like "Madison Square Garden," you're instantly taken to that place on the map and a bumper shoots up from the bottom. Pull or swipe the bar up to learn more about the location and/or initiate driving, walking, or mass transit directions to it. Google's 3D maps are on display as well – use two fingers to tilt the angle and look around. Everything about this app looks slick and outshines Apple, which isn't easy to do.
New features that work
Those who remember Google's old Maps app should be happy. For the first time, Google has given iPhone users the same basic slate of features Android owners have had for years. The Google Maps for iPhone app has turn-by-turn, voice-navigated directions for walking, driving, and using the subway/bus. I've only done a few searches so far, but have had no problem finding absolutely everything I've looked for, from hidden laundromats to barber shops to burger joints. If you've been able to find it on Google Maps before, you're back in luck. And those of you who are tired of driving right onto airport runways using Apple Maps, Google tends to know where you want to go.
As a New Yorker, my favorite feature is the mass transit map layer and turn-by-turn directions. Apple Maps does not have this at all yet and currently boots you to a third-party app of your choice (I use HopStop), but it saves time if one app can do the job. Being able to see where a subway train will stop on the map is also helpful.
Though it doesn't seem to know where you're going, Apple Maps does have a nice feature. When you are in the middle of turn-by-turn directions and minimize Maps, it keeps your directions on screen as a little notification. Either due to limitations or time, Google Maps doesn't yet have this feature, so you'll have to keep the app open while you're navigating.
My only other gripe is Street View. You can access it, but it's hidden. To access it, find a yellow street, double tap to zoom in, and hold your finger to bring up a bumper about that street. Swipe up that bumper and tap the Street View picture to enter the mode. Once you're in, you can walk around town just fine.
Just download it
We're going to have an in-depth comparison between Apple Maps and Google Maps soon, but until then, just download it. Google Maps is what powered your iPhone navigation for five years and this app is better than that one ever was. The rift between Apple and Google hurt all iPhone users for a few months, but it looks like ultimately, we're the winners here. Without this split, who knows when we ever would have gotten turn-by-turn Google navigation. Now it's here. Celebrate! Have a beer. And if you get lost in the woods, now you'll know there's a chance you'll make it back alive before the bears get you.
You can download Google Maps in the iPhone App Store.

The Business Impact Of Hurricane Sandy
Halloween provided more tricks than treats for most of us in the metropolitan area this year, in the form of high winds, storm surges, record flooding, toppled trees, gas shortages, and widespread blackouts. But perhaps the greatest impact was the damage done to our economic engine, which literally feeds the millions of people who call this region home.

Okay, so I was watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians tonight, the "Kendall's Sweet 16" special, and I actually teared up when she and older sister Khloe visited a children's hospital to bring bags and bags of toys to sick kids. What's even more touching, Kendall told mom Kris Jenner that her grand plans for throwing her an extravagant sweet 16 in the Bahamas for 75 of her closest friends were too big and "embarrassing," when there were people in the world much less fortunate than them. Their compromise? To throw an extravagant party in town, and set up a toy drive for her friends to donate gifts to the L.A. Children's Hospital. It's so easy for a girl like Kendall, already a successful model, to be affected by all the attention and wealth that comes with being a Kardashian-Jenner, but she's somehow managing to escape it. It made me think about how to raise my own son to be as sensitive and giving, especially around the holidays…
The holidays, like birthdays, can be tricky—I want to spoil the hell out of Preston of course and give him eight gifts for each night of Hanukkah, more for my own enjoyment of seeing his face light up. He just started understanding the concept of presents. But I don't want him to grow up taking any of that for granted. Hanukkah is about a lot more than gifts, which actually has nothing to do with the origins of the holiday—but for kids, that's all it's about. I remember sneaking peeks at my presents in my parents' closet the week leading up to Hanukkah, and actually finding the Cabbage Patch Kids clothes my mom bought for me, and I went so far as to take them out of their boxes, try them on my dolls, and then put them back, making sure my mom was none the wiser (until now)—I was just that excited. Lighting the candles each night, eating latkes and playing dreidel, dreidel, dreidel was fun too, but come on—it was all about eight nights of presents.
I am certainly not saying I don't want my kids to enjoy the excitement of getting gifts for special occasions, but I want to institute a tradition early on that involves giving back every bit as much as getting, not only around the holidays but year-around. Jews don't have an equivalent of Letters to Santa for Hanukkah, but I'm sure I can find a synagogue or school that's doing some kind of a toy drive (or latke donation?).
Preston is too young to ask for anything yet—he's perfectly happy with the many toys he already has, which is exactly what I told my mom when she asked me what he wanted this year (frankly I'd rather skip the toys altogether and collect small donations for his college tuition—hint). I think he already got what he wanted anyway—his mommy is home more. Hanukkah starts on Tuesday night and I haven't gotten him a single thing yet (I know, I know, bad mom). I'm still debating if I do eight gifts for eight nights this year, or wait to start that tradition until he's old enough to expect it; at this point it's more for me than for him. So let's be honest, I'll probably give him something each night and keep the gifts small.
How do you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah with your kids in a way that the whole gift-giving thing doesn't get out of hand? Do you do anything with your kids to give back around the holidays? I'd love some ideas.

DENVER (AP) Broncos safety T.J. Ward has been charged with misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace for allegedly throwing a glass mug at a female bartender at a Denver strip club earlier this month.
Ward, 27, appeared in court Friday to face the charges stemming from the incident at 2:40 a.m. on May 10 at PT's All Nude club.
According to court documents, Ward was seen on video surveillance picking up the mug from the bar and throwing it at the bartender after being told he couldn't bring a drink into the club.
A court date was set for June 23.
Police had issued an arrest warrant for Ward on Thursday. Ward's attorney, Abe Hutt, told The Denver Post that Ward didn't know he was wanted until he saw a television news report Thursday night. Hutt said the warrant was dismissed Friday.
Ward's agent, Josh Arnold, issued a statement to The Associated Press on Friday that said: ''The situation that presented itself within the media yesterday involving T.J. has been misconstrued. He was never arrested, there will be no booking and the warrant that was erroneously issued has been canceled. At this point, he has been issued a simple ticket/citation.''
Arnold added that ''T.J. would like to thank all of his supporters and he's looking forwarding to continuing a productive offseason as he prepares for his first year as a Denver Bronco.''
Ward signed a four-year, $22.5 million deal with Denver this spring. He is coming off a Pro Bowl season in Cleveland, where he also earned second-team All-Pro honors last year.
Ward is a major component of Denver's defensive makeover this offseason following the AFC champions' loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
When he signed the 27-year-old Oregon alum to a contract May 11, general manager John Elway called Ward ''a young, explosive strong safety who is going to bring a lot of energy and toughness to our secondary.''
Ward projects as the Broncos' strong safety with Rahim Moore returning at free safety. Ward can also line up as a weak-side linebacker in some of the Broncos' specialty looks with six and seven defensive backs.

1999 Hamacher, Pinot Noir:
If more people in this country made pinot noir like this, I'd buy more domestic pinot noir. If you have ever had the chance to taste wild strawberries and wild raspberries, you know how different they are from the cultivated versions – a more penetrating flavor, an earthier tone, maybe a harder edge to them – more the essence of the fruit than the fruit itself. This wine captures that essence, both on the nose and palate, with a balanced intensity. There is a chalky edge to the texture, very fine but substantial tannins, 13% alcohol, a very pleasant earth/leather/mushroom accent, and, a finish that not only persists but carries a flavor profile that changes from moment to moment. I'm guessing this is a decade from full maturity (possibly more); the fullness of the tannins, the slightly oaky note on the finish, the expansiveness of the fruit from when the bottle is first opened to last sip – all these lead me to decide to continue to cellar my remaining bottles.
Still, I am happy to have tasted it now, and still happier to report that this is world class in quality, could be from no place other than Oregon, and, has a wonderful complexity and nuance to it that I have not found in any other domestic pinot noir.
Simply superb.
Best, Jim

It doesn't actually make sense that beings who take rainbow body can't generate emanations or take incarnations.Pero wrote: Anyway, I also spoke to Namdrol about those who achieved rainbow bodies having rebirth and he too said that in the tantras it says they can have a non-afflictive rebirth. This however begged the question if such a one is reborn what's he like? I didn't get an answer on that but my thinking is if a full blown Buddha chooses to take rebirth then he should be a full blown Buddha when he is born. Studying, practice and stuff shouldn't be necessary. Heck if in a previous life he achieved rainbow body if you set him on fire in this one he shouldn't burn. So with that, I still don't believe there is any who achieve rainbow body that take rebirth.

Contraception: A Human RightComments
Once again, large swaths of the Republican Party oppose international definitions of basic human rights:
For the first time, the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) explicitly described family planning as a "universal human right." In its annual report, the organization said that improved access to contraception and other methods of family planning could greatly improve the lives of women around the world:
"Family planning has a positive multiplier effect on development," Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, executive director of the fund, said in a written statement. "Not only does the ability for a couple to choose when and how many children to have help lift nations out of poverty, but it is also one of the most effective means of empowering women. Women who use contraception are generally healthier, better educated, more empowered in their households and communities and more economically productive. Women's increased labor-force participation boosts nations' economies."
The report effectively declares that legal, cultural and financial barriers to accessing contraception and other family planning measures are an infringement of women's rights.
Of course, no doubt this is just part of the secret UN-Obama mind control conspiracy to take over the United States.

Hi! My husband and I are in the process of adopting our first child domestically out of state. We haven't been matched yet with a mom and her unborn baby(ies), so we don't know how long we will have to prepare.
I'm researching inducing lactation and checking with my doctor to find out if it is a good fit for me. (I'm usually not keen on taking supplemental hormones for long periods of time so there's still quite a bit of discernment that I have to do.)
I know that breastfeeding is best, but I also know that I will very likely need to supplement anything I might produce through induced lactation with formula.
What is the best formula to use? Or is there a reasonable and healthy alternative to mass produced formula? (I am pretty anti-Soy and also happen to be allergic to it.)
Since breastfeeding moms have their children's best chance for a healthy future and well being in mind, I thought that I would ask other adoptive/induced lactating moms what formula options they had resorted to.
Thanks in advance!

Desolation of the Morannon
The Desolation of the Morannon was the dead land that lay just before walls of Mordor south of the Dagorlad. It was a place of horror for absolutely nothing grew in the polluted soil. Pools of water were choked with ash and muds, mounds of crushed and powered rock abounded, and cones of earth fire-blasted and stained with poison rose as if they were part of a graveyard. The terrible barrenness of the landscape was due to the labours of Sauron's slaves, who had so defiled the land that it was diseased beyond repair.[1]
Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, reached the Desolation of the Morannon on 4 March, T.A. 3019.[2]

Cougar the Musical unleashes three divine but disillusioned women who develop a taste for hot, young men. They let their inner cougar roar and purr, finding self-love and empowerment in the process. The sexy, ferocious cast of three fabulous-over-forty women and one multi-talented boy toy sing and dance their way through a satiating range of original songs, from grinding blues, to doo-wop, to pop to "Julio," a romantic ballad, sung to a vibrator. Hilarious, soulful and sexy, Cougar the Musical is a madcap ride from Cougar Bar to nail salon to boudoir and back as the women learn to say "yes" to getting older, "yes" to trust and friendship and "yes" to proving that love is ageless.
