Gorgeous Weekend in Northern California
It's weekends like this that remind us why we live in this crazy place.
It was just an absolutely breathtaking weekend here in Northern California. Cloudless skies, warm sunshine, and cool ocean breezes all conspired to create a gorgeous outing today. And what's more… all the idiots seemed to have stayed home today! All too often, the drive down 101 and then over to the Monterey area can be bumper-to-bumper, but it was smooth and remarkably traffic-free. We even had no trouble finding parking in the usually-packed hamlet of Carmel-by-the-Sea. And even 17-Mile Drive was practically deserted.
We went with a friend of ours who isn't from around here, and it was fun to see him experience for the first time what we so often forget is so close, yet sometimes impossible to fit into our crazy schedules. But the areas around Big Sur, Carmel, and Pebble Beach, are among the most beautiful places anywhere on this planet. So, if you've not been, give yourself a wonderful treat and come for a visit. Here's a tip: try doing it on a weekday when the traffic is less crazy… And, for heaven's sake, please don't drive like an idiot… It's a lot more enjoyable for everybody if there are fewer people shaking their fists at you. :-)
For a few more pictures, you can visit my Moblog at http://ray.textamerica.com. I hope to have my Moblogging integrated into this site soon, but I haven't figured out the best way to do that in WordPress. But I've got some good leads.

It's been a long time – but – I love this.
And this guy.
2011 was grand. I didn't plan it that way, and I certainly didn't expect it to take the turns that it did, but looking back I have to say that overall it was pretty friggin' sweet. I had a few successes, some of them in spite of myself, and that was cool. But most importantly, I learned some things that I badly needed to learn. Here's what 2011 taught me:
Do It Now
I wish I could do that, but I just don't have time. 2011 was the year I learned to quit using that phrase. The truth is, 99% of us really do have the time to do cool things, what we don't have is the ability to make it a priority. In my case it was writing novels, but it could have been anything. Learn an instrument, be an activist, do more with the family, whatever. When I…

It Takes A Village---to Undermine Parenthood
Excerpt:Â When U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., showed television viewers the Christmas presents she wants to give us if she is elected president, her most important was universal pre-kindergarten, following closely after universal health care. Clinton was reminding us of her status as the grand dame of the ideology expressed in her favorite African slogan, "It takes a village to raise a child."Indeed, there seem to be many busybodies who believe the village, i.e., government functionaries, should make major decisions about the upbringing of children, including what they are taught and how they are medicated. They may approach this incrementally, but their goal is always "universal." Read More

Happy holidays to all and to celebrate I've put Husband Training School on sale.
For now but not for long!
We love our husbands, but...
|Kindle | Nook | iBooks | Kobo
Three wives send their husbands back to school.
Will Trailer is a super-achiever on the baseball diamond but at home? Not so much, according to his gorgeous movie star wife.
Efficiency expert Howard Hopkins has just retired. His wife married him for better and for worse--but not for 24-hours-a-day.
Gordo Canholme would procrastinate breathing if he could, but will he ever get the baby's room finished? Not without HTS, according to his very pregnant wife.
Husband Training School is the creation of former Marine Corps Drill Instructor, Robin Aguirre. When their wives enroll Will, Howard and Gordo as new students, Robin thinks she is ready for anything the most improvement-resistant husbands of the 21st Century can dish out.
But is she?

Analytical Ultracentrifugation
by: Andrew Rouff and Andrew Gioe
Partial Specific Volume (v)
Partial Specific Volume is defined as the specific volume of the solute, "which is related to volume increase of of the solution when adding dry macromolecules" You can calculate by using different densities of solution, and creating a graph
Partial Specific Volume (v)
ρ= density of solution ρo= density of solvent w= weight concentration of solute ρ= ρo+w(1-ρov)
How we find v V is found by calculating the slope of a graph of p as a function of w ρ= ρo+w(1-ρov) ρ-ρo= w(1-ρov) ρ-ρo/w= (1-ρov) ρ/w=v
Molecular Mass Sedimentation and Diffusion Equation
s/D= M(1-vρo)/ RT M=sRT/D(1-vρo) D4.19 found by combining previous equations First Svedberg Equation
Assumption The First Svedberg Equation works if diffusion and sedimentation friction coefficients are the same (s and D) In reality, this is not the actual case, causes slight error in formula
Sedimentation Equilibrium
As a solution is centrifuged for a long time, eventually the diffusion and sedimentation stop changing over time This is when it is at equilibrium Lamm Equation (dC/dt) = -1/r[d/dr(w2r2sC- Dr(dc/dr]) concentration gradient + diffusion coefficient
Sedimentation Equilibrium
Rearrange Svedberg equation, D= sRT/m(1-vρo) Plug into Lamm Equation, flux equal to zero at equilibrium [-sRT/m(1-vρo)](dC/dx)+ sw2r2C(x)=0 rearrange- dln(C)/d(r2/2)= M(1-vρo)w2/ RT
How to use slope Slope of Ln[C(r)] vs r2/2 graph is M(1- vρo)w2/ RT
As shown by graph, line is linear, meaning term is constant Slope= Molecular weight
Number average molecular mass
Second graph is not linear because there is more than one macromolecule present ΣNimi/ΣNi is number average molecular mass eg. 10 molecules of particle A which is 2Da and 5 molecules of particle B which is 3Da [(10)(2) + (5)(3)] / 15 = 2.3Da = Mn
Weight Average Molecular Mass
Σ(Nimi)mi/ΣNimi= Weight average molecular mass eg. 5 molecules of A which is 2Da and 10 molecules of B which is 3Da [(5)(2)(2)+(10)(3)(3)](15)(5)= 1.47Da
Concentration dependence of average molecular mass
C(r)= C(a)exp[w2M(1-vρ)(r2-a2)/2RT]= second svedberg equation exp[w2M(1-vρ)(r2-a2)/2RT] known as * for now C(r) = Ca*+ Cb* + Cab* Cab= CaCb/Kab Can find equilibrium constant from sedimentation data
A Closer Look at the Forces in Centrifugation
Centrifugation results in a radial force away from center of Rotor
Density Gradient Sedimentation: The Two Techniques
Analytical Zonal Sedimentation Velocity High velocity, low spin time Density Gradient Sedimentation Equilibrium Low velocity, High spin time
Analytical Zonal Sedimentation Velocity
Upon Centrifugation, the analyte particles sediment through the gradient to separate zones based on their sedimentation velocity Linear 5-20% sucrose gradients are a tradition choice for use as non-ionic gradient material Separates the molecules in mixtures according to their sedimentation coefficients (S's)
The Process of Sedimentation in a Centrifugal Field
Velocity zonal sedimentation separates molecules in the mixture according to their sedimentation coefficients. Analyte particles when exposed to the centrifugal field settle down through the sucrose solution until their density is equal to the density of the sucrose solution . A density gradient of the analyte particles results with the the densest particles migrating the farthest through the sucrose solution.
A sample containing mixtures of particles of varying size, shape and density is added on the top of a preformed density gradient. The gradient is higher in density toward the bottom of the tube. Centrifugation results in separation of the particles depending on thier size,shape and buoyant density. Fractions of defined volume are collected from the gradient
Example of an Automated Volume Fraction Collector
Since Density gradient is stable upon cessation of Centrifugation, the sample tube may transferred to a fraction collector. A hole is poked in the bottom of the sample tube and then the density fraction are dripped into collection tubes one level at a time
Density Gradient Sedimentation Equilibrium
Pre sample injection, a solution containing a heavy such as CsCl or RbCl is spun until a small solute density gradient forms within the cell from the force of the Centrifugal field. Three components are in tube/cell: solvent molecules, solutes molecules (salts) and analyte molecules. The small solute becomes distributed in the cell in just the same way as a large molecule
A Mathematical Description of the equilibrium sedimentation distribution
An equation describing the equilibrium sedimentation distribution is obtained by setting the total flux equal in the cell to zero in since at equilibrium, there are no changes in concentration with time Because of the small molecular mass of the solute molecules we can expand the Svedberg eqation and only keep the first terms
Thus the Svedberg form of the macromolecular concentration distribution between meniscus a and point r in the cell reduces to: Where: C is the concentration distribution of the analyte particles. M is the mass of the analyte particles v is the partial specific volume of the analyte particles p is the density w is the angular velocity R is the Universal Gas Constant and T is the Temperature in the cell
Applying Equilibrium Sedimentation to prove the Semi Conservative Nature of DNA
Messelson and Stahl grew E.coli cells in a medium in which the sole nitrogen source was 15 N-labelled ammonium chloride. The 15 N-containing E.coli cell culture was then transferred to a light 14 N medium and allowed to continue growing. Samples were harvested at regular intervals. The DNA was extracted and its buoyant density determined by centrifugation in CsCl density gradients. The isolated DNA showed a single band in the density gradient, midway between the light 14 N-DNA and the heavy 15 N-DNA bands (Fig. D4.24(c)). After two generations in the 14 N medium the isolated DNA exhibited two bands, one with a density equal to light DNA and the other with a density equal to that of the hybrid DNA observed after one generation (Fig. D4.24(d)). After three generations in the 14 N medium the DNA still has two bands, similar to those observed after two generations (Fig. D4.24(e)). The results were exactly those expected from the semiconservative replication hypothesis.
Macromolecular Shape from Sedimentation Data
Molecules of the same shape but different molecular mass are called homologous series. The relationship between mass M and sedimentation coefficient s is as follows
Homologous series of quasi-spherical particles: globular proteins in water
The frictional coefficient of a sphere of radius R0 under slip boundary conditions in a solvent of viscosity η0 is given by Stokes Law:
A good straight line fit of log s
A good straight line fit of log s* versus log M is obtained according to the single equation: This establishes that globular proteins actually form a homologous series. Small deviations from perfect spherical shapes and the existence of hydration shelly modify the relation between the Stokes radius and the partial specific volume without changing the power law.
Thus we conclude that the fact that their sedimentation behavior can be described by the single previous equation means that globular proteins are very close to spherical in shape and hydrated to abou the same extent. Three proteins that do not obey the equation: Can you identify them?
Their sedimentation coefficients are smaller than that of globular protein of the same molecular mass. There are two possible causes for such behaviour: either the molecule has an elongated (rod-like) shape or it is unfolded The shape of a non-globular protein can be derived directly from sedimentation measurements if the molecule can be broken up into fragments that themselves form a homologous series.

Well my Dears, Darlings, and Fellow Spooky-Dos; it would seem that I will be needing to neglect my lovely pet horror blog for the next week and a half or so.
See kids, your good friend Spooky Pie is in the process of moving herself into a new apartment, and also I have a vacation, of sorts, headed my way in the next week. This all pretty much means that my chances of being on the internet are slim to nothing during the next couple of weeks.
I know, I know, I suck.
I couldn't even have the next edition of "The Creepiest thing" up on account of all that. Ugg...
But I look forward to catching up on everyone's blogs when I return to the land of Cyber horror, so be good until I see you again.
♥ Spooky

The rains have returned to Vancouver, which means it's time to settle in with a cup of tea and a good book! I am currently drinking out of one of my late grandmother's lovely teacups, using an adorable pink teapot I found at a thrift shop in Halifax, and reading the very moving and reflective The Place of Scraps by Jordan Abel—possibly the most readable book of poetry I've ever committed to. Not to mention that it is very pleasing to the eye and to the touch.
Welcome to my tea cupboard.
As summer turns to fall, I always want jasmine green tea. As winter sets in I return to black; I have particular fondnesses for Cream of Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong, as well as the delicious green-black blend with the unbeatable name, Buckingham Palace Garden Party. I have a selection of tisanes (herbal teas) for when it gets too late at night for caffeine, and honey and rose water and all sorts of things to add to the pot for extra aroma.
Three teapots, can you believe it? That beautiful blue iron-cast pot was a wedding gift, as was the brown ceramic pot with the little brown cups (stacked behind). The polka-dot travel mug is a winter favourite of mine, good for the morning commute. The only thing not pictured below is my tea ducky, which lives at the office these days.
Not an artsy post per se, this time. Just sharing a thing I like.
Enjoy your next cuppa!

How to Replace Butter With Greek Yogurt in Cookies
Replacing ingredients in any recipe can change the resulting product. A recipe is a chemical formula with all the elements in certain proportions put together with a specific method to produce your cookies in the way you are used to experiencing them. Replacing butter in your cookie recipe, especially with a low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt, can change the moistness and shelf life of your favorite cookie. However, Greek yogurt can also add creaminess and tenderness to your recipe, cut the fat content and provide extra calcium and protein.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Replace one-half the butter in your cookie recipe with half as much full-fat Greek yogurt. For example, if the cookie recipe calls for 1 cup of butter, you can use 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. Experiment substituting more yogurt for butter to determine if you still like the taste and texture of your cookie with little to no butter.
Step 2
Stir 1 tbsp. of cornstarch in your yogurt if you are substituting nonfat Greek yogurt in your cookie recipe. This will keep the yogurt a smooth consistency while baking.
Step 3
Replace oil or shortening in your cookie recipe if your recipe calls for these ingredients rather than butter. Replace one-half the oil or shortening in the recipe with three-quarters the amount of Greek yogurt. For instance, if your cookie recipe calls for 1 cup of oil, use only 1/2 cup oil and about 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt.

Looking Back: Local pilot earns DFC during WWII
The Distinguished Flying Cross is one of the highest combat honors a pilot can receive, and during World War II a local pilot earned that distinction, along with a front page story recounting the reasons why he was so honored.
That pilot was Capt. Erle G. Owens Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. E.G. Owens who lived at 1007 W. 11th at the time.
The story, datelined "An Eighth AAF Bomber Station, England," appeared in the July 20, 1944, edition of The Plainview Evening Herald. It notes that the thrill of leading a formation of Flying Fortresses over the target had been experienced four times by Owens, include once when he piloted the lead ship over the French beachhead on D-day, June 6, 1944.
"It was one of my easiest trips," Owens said. "We had no opposition at all and my only regret was I couldn't see the landing operations because of cloud cover."
Owens had been over Berlin three times, to Schweinfurt three times, and the crew of his Flying Fortress named "Round Tripper" had received credit for destroying seven Nazi fighters. Two of his crewmen were wounded during the 35 combat trips over the Continent he made as either pilot or copilot.
Early in his combat career Owens had more than his share of excitement, the article noted.
Returning from a mission to Cognac, France, on New Year's eve, his aircraft was badly shot up. As a result, it was necessary to put it on automatic pilot as the crew bailed out.
Owens, who became a member of the Caterpiller Club after emerging from the cocoon of his parachute, landed in a tree but was only slightly scratched up.
Four days later, while returning from a mission to Kiel, his plane developed mechanical trouble and the crew was forced to ditch in a turbulent North Sea. Two of the crew were lost amid the towering waves. After almost an hour in the icy water, the others were rescued by an English minesweeper and returned to England.
During one of his missions to Schweinfurt, the formation was under almost constant attack for about an hour by 75 to 100 German fighters. That day the U.S. Eighth Air Force lost 64 bombers.
Round Tripper took a beating, but brought the crew back home. A pair of 20mm shells hit engines 2 and 3, another cut the fuel line on No. 4, and a fourth went through the waist of the plane, injuring one of the gunners who later received the DFC for remaining at his post.
Owens earned the DFC and Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters.
According to an online history of the 401st Bomb Group, Owens final combat mission was on June 28, 1944.

Four Monroe County Region volleyball teams could not keep pace with a pair of Gabriel Richards.
ERIE ? A double dose of Gabriel Richard was too much for Monroe County Region volleyball teams Saturday at the Mason Tournament.
Erie Mason went 5-1 in pool play but was knocked out of the tournament by Riverview Gabriel Richard in the semifinals.
Dundee also reached the semifinal round but was eliminated by Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard in two games.
That set up an all-Gabriel Richard final with the Fighting Irish from Ann Arbor dominating the Pioneers from Riverview 25-11, 25-17.
The four Region teams represented in the tournament ? Mason, Dundee, Jefferson and Summerfield ? were all under .500 last season and finished a combined 39-105-16.
But all four seem to be improved and had plenty of bright spots Saturday.
Ann Arbor Richard was the class of the six-team tournament, It went 6-0 in pool play with Mason finishing 5-1, Riverview Richard 4-2, Jefferson 2-4, Dundee 1-5 and Summerfield 0-6.
Mason swept Summerfield and Jefferson in pool play and split with Dundee. That gave the Eagles second place in the pool standings and earned them a bye through the quarterfinal round.
They won the first game but wound up losing to Riverview Richard in the semis 24-26, 25-14, 15-10.
?It was definitely better than when we played Thursday night (against Dundee). We were sloppy in that game,? coach Bill Bert said. ?McKenna Whipple picked up her stats today and Paige Stark and Nicole Poca did a real good job.?
The 6-7-1 Eagles refused to go quietly in their last game. They trailed Richard 14-4 but scored six straight at match point to make the final minutes interesting.
?I told them don?t look at the scoreboard. It isn?t important,? Bert said.
Dundee came the closest of anyone to winning a game from Ann Arbor Richard. The Vikings lost to the Fighting Irish 27-25, 25-15 in the first pool match of the day and split with Mason 25-23, 20-25. Dundee lost to Jefferson 25-23, 25-18 in pool play but came back to eliminate the Bears 25-27, 25-13, 16-14 in the quarterfinals.
?I was really happy with our progress in the (second) game against Jefferson,? said Dundee coach Lindsay Powers. ?We came back to compete. We were not on our ?A? game earlier. We always kind of turn it up in bracket play.?
She said the defense has improved immensely from last year when the Vikings finished 8-26-3.
?I?m impressed with all of the back row,? she said. ?Sophomore Lexi Alvarez has really stepped it up and I?m getting good, consistent play from our senior leaders Alli Salenbien, Angel Noworyta and Kali Campbell.?
Jefferson was without senior setter Margaret Boggs who was taking her ACT test, so first-year coach Melissa Hier switched to a 6-2 offense with Olivia Boos and Alyssa Bijarro filling in as setters.
?They did a good job,? Hier said. ?We played a lot better today. We?re going back to the basics. I was really happy with the first game (against Dundee).?
Sydnee Miller had 7 kills in the first game alone and Emily Morrow also hit well for the 2-8-1 Bears.
Summerfield (2-11) dropped all three of its matches in pool play. But the Bulldogs challenged Riverview Richard in the quarterfinals despite losing 25-19, 20-25, 15-6.
Coach Michelle Hewitt said her Bulldogs ?came to life once we got out of pool play. We seemed to get a lot of rhythm after pool play. We?ve just been faced with a lot of challenges.?
Summerfield was missing players because of illness and a funeral, so Hewitt brought up Kathryn Beland from the JV team for the tournament. Beland, Breanna Breitner, McKenna Parker and Nicole Denman played well throughout the day.
?We had multiple people step up for us today,? Hewitt said. ?Serving reception was decent by almost everyone. We have really focused on serve reception this year.
Ann Arbor Richard is now 11-2-1 overall against a tough schedule. It competes in the Detroit Catholic League AA Division along with Dearborn Divine Child, Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, Macomb Lutheran North and Riverview Gabriel Richard.

London, today. Dee is an anarchic street-artist confronting the system, Marcus is an armed robber on a jewellery store crime-wave. For the two brothers, being Anti-Social is a way of life! Bound by an unyielding family loyalty they relentlessly carve their respective paths – and Dee finds acceptance in London's art-scene, while Marcus' smash-and-grab heists amass him a small fortune and his aspirations escalate. But when an ultra-violent gangland war erupts, Dee is suddenly forced to remember who he is – as Police and rival criminals close-in on the family and Marcus' gang defiantly prepare to take down the largest target of their careers. http://www.rstpictures.com

hara abdominal massage
Was just told today of another type of abdominal massage that can help fibroids, Hara Massage. Hara is Japanese for abdomen. Here is an overview. And here is an interesting post discussing the differences between various types of abdominal massages. The system mentioned on that page of Hara plus Integrated Tissue Release sounds terrific, and if I were in the UK I would certainly check it out.

The purpose of accounting is to provide information for sound business decision-making. Two of the most common forms used are financial accounting and cost accounting. While financial accounting is primarily used for reporting company information to external parties, cost accounting is the method used to measure internal company operation and improve overall business management.
Overview of Financial Accounting
Financial accounting is used to monitor and control an organization's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. It uses a company's money flow as the measure of economic performance. The main purpose of financial accounting is to gather and summarize financial data into reports such as balance sheets and income statements for use by external parties such as investors, lenders, suppliers and tax authorities. In contrast to financial accounting, cost accounting considers money as the economic factor of production. Cost accounting is used to ensure business efficiency by comparing actual performance with the standard performance fixed for a product or service.
Overview of Cost Accounting
Cost accounting, also referred to as "managerial accounting" or "management accounting," is used by company managers to collect data in an effort to improve business performance. This process is aimed at capturing a company's costs of production by assessing the input costs of each step of production as well as the fixed costs of depreciation of capital equipment such as a building lease. Cost accounting measures and records input costs and fixed costs individually and then compares the input results to the output or actual results in an effort to aid management with measuring financial performance.
Benefits of Cost Accounting
Cost accounting is a valuable management tool that can be used for budgeting, determining where savings are possible, reducing and eliminating business costs, determining product or service price and assisting management in analysis of cost behavior. In order for a company to successfully manage its finances, an effective cost accounting system is important. In the absence of a proper cost accounting process, management is unable to properly assess internal business affairs.
Cost Accounting and Financial Accounting Relationship
For a company to successfully manage its finances, an effective cost accounting system is important. The organization's ability to grow through developing partnerships with key external parties may be hindered, because a sound cost accounting system is a common component of a financial accounting system that is capable of producing the external reports often required before forming these business relationships. Therefore, a poor cost accounting system or the absence of a cost accounting system may be the reason for a company's lack of success and profits.

Snooki is feeling so domestic these days as a new mama. She just posted a photo of TWO fruit salads she made with the caption, "Made yummy fruit salad!!!! I'm such a mom." Aw, both salads really do look yummy. (One is all strawberries?) But wait a minute there, what's especially "mom" about making a fruit salad? Is this something Snooki never saw anyone in the Jersey Shore crew make?
And the answer is no, because there's no booze in fruit salad, silly! No, but seriously, does making certain foods make you "such a mom"? If so, what would those foods be?
Okay, dads can make these dishes, too. We could call them parent food, but that doesn't sound as catchy. And I've probably seen or heard of single, childless people make every one of these -- but there's just something especially nurturing and cozy about these.
- Roast chicken/beef: Because that's a lot of meat, and the smell of meat roasting in the oven is about the homey-est smell I can think of.
- Birthday cake: Who else makes you a cake on your birthday? I mean, besides the grocery store. (Who always spells your name wrong.)
- Casserole: Actually, they were banned in my home, but when I was a kid, this is what all the other suburban children ate almost every night for dinner.
- Scrambled eggs: Because sunny-side-up eggs have runny yolks and that is SO GROSS if you're a kid.
- Chicken soup: To soothe all those nasty colds.
- Chocolate chip cookies with milk: WITH MILK is an important detail. Anyone else (your college roommates) might bake chocolate chip cookies for no reason and let you eat them right off the pan. But a mom will put them on a plate and pour a cold glass of milk to go with them.
- Wine: To be enjoyed after the kids are in bed, of course.
What do you think are quintessential "mom" foods?

When we first heard that Google marketing exec, Wael Ghonim, was arrested (and released) in the first wave of the
Egyptian uprisings, I didn't realize he was the original Facebook poster that got the uprisings front and center, and in the face of the world. I wrote several posts referring to those behind the uprisings as the "20-something," but saw nothing to indicate that Ghonim/Ghuneim was in it from the start. Today the Telegraph UK has an intriguing article written by Richard Spencer, saying that Wael Ghuneim was, indeed, behind it from the start.
Google's CEO has been saying how proud he is of Wael Ghuneim, the Google marketing executive who set up the original Facebook protest page and was jailed. The CEO clearly knew how to be on the right side of history.
Spencer is talking about the disparity between the very rich and the poor in all dictatorships, an seems to have a warning for the West:
Egypt was one of those places where even tourists could smell the whiff. The other day I interviewed the horsemen of the Pyramids, who led the pro-Mubarak charge in Tahrir Square. Many live in pitiful hovels right in the shadow of their country's glorious past.
I first came to Egypt in the mid-1980s, and it has been shocking to see Cairo's 19th-century avenues and picturesque Nile Valley towns sink under a tide of dirt and squalor. It made you wonder about Egypt's high official growth rates – until you visited the villas in the gated communities of the suburbs, and the industrial enclaves providing low-wage jobs for the poor and hefty profits for the well-connected rich.
This is a lesson for all of us: the free-market policies that have brought prosperity to disparate societies across the world have been hijacked. Tea Party-goers, British student revolutionaries, Tunisian democrats – all feed off resentment at government cronies and their banker friends.
From a previous article about the Egyptian "20-somethings:"
It is very easy to dismiss what is going on in Egypt as the fight for freedom, which in a Muslim country never brings much freedom, and certainly no democracy. Freely choosing the nation's leaders, and ridding the population of the despised police force was the intention when a small group of 20-somethings met in a home and posted a rallying call on Facebook. Receiving an overwhelming response, other factions quickly inserted themselves into the action on the streets.
The anti-government protesters began as a small group of 20-somethings, meeting in the home of a friend of Mohamed ElBaradei. The young "freedom fighters," as they are referred to, said they chose ElBaradei to represent them to the U.S. They chose ElBaradei, who as the world's nuclear watchdog, lied and betrayed us all, letting Iran successfully achieve their nuclear ambitions. They chose ElBaradei who then embraced the Muslim Brotherhood.
The article also says the United Arab Emirates are preparing "a retirement palace" for Hosni Mubarak and his family, who are believed to be at their resort in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.

Bengaluru: Delhi Darevils opener Quinton de Kock, who scored the first century of the ninth edition of Indian Premier League, said that 192 against RCB was always a gettable target on a good batting track like the one at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
"We were confident of chasing 192 because it was gettable on a batting track like this and to achieve that we focused on saving wickets till the end trying to capitalize by accelerating in last overs," De Kock told reporters during the post-match press conference.
Replying to a question, De Kock said after losing two wickets for 50 runs on board, the gameplan of his and Karun Nair's was to keep the scoreboard ticking by hitting into the gaps and getting a few odd-boundaries because it was a good batting track and fast outfield.
"We (him and Karun) knew the boundaries are going to come because it is such a good batting wicket and quick outfield.
We focused on ticking the scoreboard regularly by hitting into the gaps, and we just carried out playing on like that and got away. So that is all about it," he said.
De Kock also said he wouldn't rate this century as the best but he thoroughly enjoyed it specially chasing down the target of almost 200-run mark.
"I enjoyed this innings thoroughly. I wouldn't say it is up there, but enjoyed it especially chasing down the total like that," he said.
Replying to a query, De Kock said he prefers to play more Tests.
Asked what was running in the team's mind when Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers stitched 107 runs for second wicket, De Kock said they just hoped one of them throws the wicket away.
He further said,"We always knew they are going to get good start, and we talked about getting at least one of the top four out to pull it back. That is what we talked about and came up with a plan. It worked, if not they would have come on and on and on at you," he said.

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. — As Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu confronted an old criminal case and faced a new FBI investigation Friday, a fundamental question persisted: How did Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign fail to see the red flags in Hsu's contributions?
Until this week, Clinton counted Hsu as one of her most prolific money bundlers. He gave her campaign $22,300, regularly appeared as a co-host for major fundraising lunches and dinners, and raised more than $100,000 from his friends for her presidential run.
"Obviously, we were all surprised by this news, and we have a procedure that we follow and upon verifying it, we returned his money," Clinton said this week.
When a campaign has attracted more than 500,000 donors, as Clinton's has, there is no way a candidate's staff can check out each contributor. Clinton and her aides said there was little they could have done to protect themselves, but fundraising experts from both parties pointed to warning signs that should have given aides pause.

Olimar and his friends regularly spied on many ladies while they were undressing, including Angela and Dilma.The office of the Generalbundesanwalt (Germany's Attorney General), which was contemplating action against the US government for alleged spying on Angela Merkel, recently gave up its investigation, ostensibly for lack of evidence. But last week, according to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, WikiLeaks published material which prima facie shows that the National Security Agency's spying activities went beyond Angela Merkel to other members of her government, and to politicians from earlier eras, including Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schröder.
One intercepted phone call by Merkel from 2011 (below) reveals her apparent thoughts about Greece at the time. Finance Minister Schäuble calling for haircuts which his boss resisted? This puts an interesting complexion on the thesis that Germany's hardliners – currently being blamed for the imposition of additional terms on Greece (perhaps to penalise it for 'trying it on') – are figure-headed by Schäuble.
Discussing the Greek financial crisis with her personal assistant, Angela Merkel professed to be at a loss as to which option — another haircut or a transfer union — would be best for addressing the situation ... Merkel's fear was that Athens would be unable to overcome its problems even with an additional haircut, since it would not be able to handle the remaining debt ... Within the German cabinet, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble alone continued to strongly back another haircut, despite Merkel's efforts to rein him in.Mr Obama's attempts to influence the Euro crisis presumably have to be seen in the light of him being kept informed about this sort of background detail.
Meanwhile, the British government, which appears to have been complicit in the USA's spying on Germany, is continuing with its plans to increase intrusionary powers into private communications in Britain, already the world capital for surveillance.
Oxford Forum should be given funding.

Switch off unused appliances
By switching off equipment when it is not in use, we save energy and money. It is that simple.
Just as we don't leave our cars idling when not in use, the idea that office equipment and appliances should be idling away on standby in case we need them is a recipe for power wastage and a high electricity bill. It is estimated that the power used by office machines in standby mode is 6% of office energy use.
By acting to switch off your unused appliances, you can reclaim this money and put it to a far better use.
How to do it now!
With many appliances using "standby" power, they are often left on overnight or over the weekend, when they continue to consume power with no benefit to your business. The following tips will help avoid this:
Enable power save mode for appliances used intermittently.
Most computers, monitors, photocopiers, faxes, televisions and sound systems have a "power save" mode. It is a good idea to activate devices to power save mode when not active.
That said, some devices are better switched off when not in use, and remember to switch all equipment off at the power point, at the end of the day.
Switch off appliances with standby mode at the power point, when they're not in use.
Where possible group a computer and any peripheral devices (such as a printer, speakers, copier) on a single power-board, which can be conveniently switched off at the end of the day. For those computers and devices that are rarely used a powerboard that automatically turns off all the peripheral devices when the computer is in sleep or standby mode can also be used.
Install 24-hour timers on hot water urns and similar devices.
Hot water urns and hot water systems, promotional screens, electrical street signage and other intermittently required devices can all be put on timer switches programmed to switch these appliances off when they are not required.
Timer switches can be purchased from electrical shops or hardware stores.
Why is this action important?
Improving the energy efficiency in the workplace is an incremental step by step process. By learning to switch off appliances that would otherwise consume power in standby mode we are taking an important step that will have an immediate impact on energy use and the associated costs.

Scottish local authorities have responded to criticism of their failure to deal with the issue of equal pay by pointing to the size and complexity of the task they are facing. The Scottish Parliament's Finance Committee is demanding a resolution to the problem within 12 months but the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities says that demand is pointless.The Committee looked at the financial implications of harmonising local authority workers' terms and conditions, a move known as "Single Status" and at the costs of one-off compensation payments for past pay discrimination. In a report it said that in spite of an agreement on Single Status between local authorities and unions in 1999, it has been implemented in only one of the 32 local authorities.
Des McNulty MSP, the Committee convener, said this was unacceptable and the delay had created huge compensation liabilities. "We recognise that Single Status and retrospective compensation for equal pay is the biggest financial challenge that local government in Scotland has faced. We were horrified however at the lack of financial planning by Councils to meet their obligations and their poor management of risk," he said.
In its response COSLA said local authorities had been working hard for months to resolve the issue. The Convention's President, Pat Watters, said the report had missed the point of its remit, which he understood to have been to tell local authorities whether a solution was affordable within the financial settlement for councils. "This report moves us not a single step forward," he said.
Councillor Watters added, "There is no point in the Finance Committee demanding that the issue is resolved within 12 months. There is no council in the country not applying everything in a sincere search for a solution. "However what we are talking about is an extremely complicated modernisation process for a workforce of thousands."
He called on the Finance Committee to recognise the size and complexity of the task, particularly as many of its members had been councillors or even council leaders in the initial stages of the task of trying to address the issue.
The Committee has recommended that councils, unions and COSLA engage in realistic negotiations, recognising the imperative to reach a solution. It has also urged the Scottish Executive to explore with COSLA or individual councils whether there might be any funding for increased efficiency and modernisation.

Anyways, I'm
I thought it would be a fun way for my kids to review/learn money as a train of coins with the values increasing with each car. I'm super excited to get started on it next week! I already have most of the pages printed, copied, and stapled for Monday. I included posters, worksheets, matching games, word problems and more. Here is the preview:

The largest living land mammal, the African elephant, is a sight to behold on Uganda's sprawling savannah. Their massive black forms can be seen from far away marching across the grasslands in search of the incredible amounts of vegetation they need to eat each day, along with around 30-50 gallons of water. This constant grazing is essential to the ecosystem, as it prevents the savannah and shrubland from turning into impenetrable forest.
The elephant's trunk is by far its most useful feature - it is used with absolute precision to dig, signal, gather food, spray water and dust, siphon water into the elephant's mouth - and even as an extra foot! They are also sociable, affectionate animals, and have been observed caressing companions with their trunks, and greeting other family members when they meet. They will care for weaker individuals, adopt orphaned calves and even display grieving behavior over dead companions.

text: bad songs 10:29 PM I'm having some of those moments. You know what I'm talking about, right? Those moments where you catch yourself daydreaming about the snow falling outside and you're dancing around a cozy glass cabin with a big glass of red wine and you're wearing an oversized grey turtleneck sweater and his socks. You're cooking together and it smells delectable and the stereo is blasting Tom Petty and you're singing along to every word and it doesn't matter how loud the music is because the closest neighbor is miles away. Those moments where you start to drift and wonder what his bed sheets feel like, how the light hits his apartment in the morning, if he snores, and if you're going to fit in that nook between his arm and his chest. Does he kiss you on the forehead when he wakes up? Does he sneak out of bed and bring you coffee? Will he remember how like yours? Does he know you hate Starbucks? Will he carry your coffee for 6 blocks even though it's 14 degrees out and you still insist on a cold brew? Those moments when you listen abnormally upbeat songs for your taste on repeat. Like this and this and this. You start those songs over and over, sometimes halfway through, so you can hear the beginning again and feel that little tingle in your belly, the tingle you get when you think about him walking through your front door. You also listen to really bad pop songs because they're disturbingly happy. The moment you realize it's because you could be disturbingly happy as well. 0 Comments Share: Newer Post Older Post Sarah Stannard You Might Also Like 0 comments

"Wilby Wonderful"
a film by Daniel Macivor
Wilby Island is just a few minutes by ferry from the mainland, but where a loyal Islander is concerned it might as well be years away from the fast-lane living of the mainland. Recently a scandal has rocked the town and it is only days before the details are to be published in the local paper, bringing shame and scorn to all involved.
It's Thursday morning in Wilby. Dan Jarvis (James Allodi), a transplanted Mainlander and owner of the local video store, is clearly troubled as he climbs to the top of a small bridge over a rushing river, apparently ready to end it all. However, before he can make his fatal leap, Duck MacDonald (Callum Keith Rennie) appears. Duck, an Islander born and bred and a man of few words, is the local handyman.
Thwarted, Dan leaves Duck to his own work on the bridge: hanging a large banner. The banner reads "Wilby Wonderful," announcing the upcoming Wilby Days Festival. The festival is the brainchild of Carol French (Sandra Oh), a tightly-wound real estate agent and professional volunteer. Carol is, like Dan Jarvis, a non-Islander, but she has made it her focus to find her way into the inner circle of Wilby's elite, although so far, not very successfully. Her most recent scheme is to sell the stately old home of her recently deceased mother-in-law to Wilby's good-natured but perk-loving Mayor, Brent Fisher (Maury Chaykin).
Carol's husband, Buddy French (Paul Gross), could help Carol in her quest to becoming an insider, but he finds Brent and his cronies uninteresting, to say the least. Worse, Buddy is beginning to find that Carol's pursuits are turning her into a stranger. Carol senses this, but the fear of her marriage falling apart only makes her spin her wheels even more.
These same fears are starting to push Buddy into the arms of the hopeful and willing Sandra Anderson (Rebecca Jenkins). Sandra is a true Island girl with an easy laugh and an incredible lust for life. She recently returned to Wilby after years on the mainland. She has taken over Iggy's, the once popular but now abandoned local café. Despite good intentions, she hasn't managed to get the kitchen running much past coffee and donuts.
Sandra's main reason for returning to the island was to give her teenage daughter Emily (Ellen Page) a chance at a simpler life. Emily, on the other hand, thinks the reason for returning to Wilby had more to do with her mother having slept her way through every town on the mainland.
Emily is embarking on a love affair of her own, which, as she tells her mother, is "not about sex." However, Emily's boyfriend Taylor (Caleb Langille) may not agree. As Thursday evening turns into Thursday night, we find how interconnected this community is and discover what is at the centre of the scandal that threatens to blow the lid off life on Wilby Island as we've known it.

Keith Thomas
- Theatres of Memory. Vol. I: Past and Present in Contemporary Culture by Raphael Samuel
Verso, 479 pp, £18.95, February 1995, ISBN 0 86091 209 4
Raphael Samuel and I were undergraduates together at Balliol in the early Fifties. Bibliographically omnivorous, buried under piles of notes and unfinished essays, inkstained and dishevelled, he exuded intellectual intensity and passionate left-wing commitment. I remember his appearing at breakfast one morning, tearful and wearing a black tie. Asked what the matter was, he burst out, weeping: 'Uncle Joe is dead!' In his new book he tells us that he was brought up in a 'bookish, religiously Communist family' and that there was a bust of J.V. Stalin on the kitchen mantelpiece. He was certainly bookish, for I remember browsing on the shelves of his college room and picking up a copy of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, a set book for our History prelims, only to find in it the daunting inscription: 'To Raphael on his eighth birthday.'
Since those days, Samuel has earned a distinctive place in the annals of British historiography as a founder and moving spirit of History Workshop, originally a sort of democratic teach-in at Ruskin College, to which workers and students came with their sleeping-bags, later institutionalised as History Workshop: A Journal of Socialist and Feminist Historians; nowadays it bears the respectable imprint of the Oxford University Press and has just dropped its subtitle. As a tutor at Ruskin, Samuel has been an inspiration to generations of amateur historians and autodidacts, staging crowded conferences, holding seminars in London pubs and editing volumes of essays which seek to incorporate into history the everyday lives of women, the poor, ethnic minorities and other once-neglected groups. Sentimental and antiquarian though History Workshop can be, it has fostered a real interest in the past and greatly widened the scope of historical enquiry.
The tantalising mixture of inspirational leadership and mild organisational chaos which has always been Samuel's hallmark is well displayed in this new collection of his writings, the first volume of a promised trilogy. It seems to be made up entirely of previously published essays from the Guardian, New Society and elsewhere, though, infuriatingly, neither the place nor the date of original publication is ever given. There is an excessive amount of repetition and the effect of many excellent passages is much diminished by their appearing, almost verbatim, in a subsequent chapter. There are also many minor errors of the kind made by an author in whose head an infinity of names and places are buzzing around: the 17th-century antiquarian was William Dugdale, not Thomas; the early Victorian author of The Mansions of England in the Olden Time was the artist Joseph Nash, not the architect John; the authority on Hadrian's Wall is Robin Birley, not Robert; William III's historiographer was Thomas Rymer, not Edward; it was in the ruins of the Capitol, not the Colosseum, that Gibbon conceived the idea of the Decline and Fall; and Rothesay is not an island.
It would be wrong, however, to allow pedantic irritation to mar one's enjoyment of this wonderful compendium of enthusiasms, insights and recondite detail, a sort of literary counterpart to the barrows of antique bric-à-brac in London street markets which Samuel regards as so revealing of contemporary sensibilities. For all its apparent miscellaneousness, this is a book with real points to make about history and popular culture.

Talk'n Hawks
Hawks in O.T. Win
by Vince Maranto on 12/09/11 at 04:05 PM ET
Comments (0)
It was kind of weird playing the same Eastern Conference opponent twice in 7 days. This time, the Hawks traveled to New York to face off against the Islanders. Entering the contest, a couple of things stood out. Toews was on top of the leader board in the NHL in goals. Kane, who recently rejoined the Hawks Captain on the first line, was in the top spot in assists. (Again, I like when they are both on the first line together. Finding the other winger seems to be the challenge) For New York, Matt Moulson, the NHL player of the week has been on fire lately. He had at least 1 goal in 5 straight games, including a 4 goal effort against the Stars. In this game, Montoya, 5-3-2, (the Chicago area native) was matched up against Ray Emery (4-1-2). Emery has played well in both his starts and relief appearances the last couple of weeks. Crawford, let's say, has not fared so well. This is exactly why a solid, experienced back up is a must for a team.
In the 1st period, Dave Bolland got sandwiched in the first 30 seconds of the game and was slow to get up. He did return, but has had a hard time this season recovering from one ailment only to have another one heaped on him. But, as they say, that's hockey in the NHL. Stalberg started on the first line at the beginning, but was soon sent back down to the 4th, with Carcillo moving up to line one. The Hawks had a Penalty Kill situation (Yay, 29th place @ 75%, no longer in last—small victories) and came up successful. Later in the period, on a Blackhawks Power Play, Hossa became the 85th player to reach the 400 goal plateau! It was a weird centering/passing/bank it in of the goalie from behind the goal line, play. In his own words between the periods, "Not a pretty one."
I should also mention the Sammy Lepisto was back in the line up after a month or so. He was in the 3rd defensive match up with Montador. Coach Q has been trying to find that 3rd "D" tandem all season. He's been mixing and matching Montador, Lepisto, Scott, and O'Donnel all season.
Inn the 2nd, Sharp on a rocket, one time, slapper from Hossa made it 2-0 Hawks. Later on in the period, the Hawks had another successful P.K. (Is 28th in sight?) not letting New York get anything set up. Later in the period, it went P.P, 4 on 4, Penalty Kill but no one scored. Then with some real slooy play with less than 2 minutes left (Starting and ending periods, boys) it was a 2-1 game. At the end of the period penalties resulted in a 5 on 3 Islander advantage that would carry over into the third.
In the 3rd, with over a minute of 5 on 3, the Islanders did not even register a shot on goal. Weak passing from both teams ensued for a while. Then, Emery, while being triple screened, let in a redirect 2-2. Another P.P. and P.K. yielded nothing. The game would go into OT with New York leading the shots on goal 33-26.
In the OT, Hossa, rather than trying to force a pass, took a shot on goal (this NEEDS to be done more). Sharp got the rebound, HAWKS WIN!!! New York, by the way, dropped to 0-6 in overtime games.

Rubbermaid Roughneck Storage BinReviewing: Rubbermaid Roughneck Storage Box | Rating:
We got two of these Rubbermaid storage boxes to use as compost bins. (We just punched several holes in the bottoms and sides). The boxes were available in several different colors, but the purple ones were cheapest, so that's what we got. These storage boxes are durable and sturdy, and they make terrific compost bins. They are just the right size, and the lids stay on with no problem, but they are easy to open and close. I probably do not have to mention that Rubbermaid storage boxes do not have an insurance/bonding option, but just in case - they don't. Security features? The boxes are just sitting out in our backyard along the fence. I figure if anyone wants our compost that badly, hey, they can have it; we can start over. Oh! And, we have a few of these (same size, neutral color) in the house and garage that we actually use to store stuff in. They make great storage boxes also. Who would have guessed? Anyway, this was our first composting experience, so I'm not sure we'll use these boxes for that purpose in the future, but they do work well for both composting and storage (and probably many other things, if you're creative).

MANAMA (Reuters) - Las Vegas could host a second U.S. race on the Formula One calendar in a few years' time but a deal has yet to be agreed, the sport's commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone said on Friday.
"I am going to be talking to them (Las Vegas promoters) in another 10 minutes' (time)," Ecclestone told reporters during practice at the Bahrain Grand Prix, when asked about negotiations.
"It's possible that there could be an event there," added the 85-year-old Briton.
Asked when the race in the desert resort might happen, he replied: "In a couple of years I suppose. We'd keep Austin and have another race."
The Formula One calendar currently has a record 21 races, with Azerbaijan's Baku street circuit due to debut in June, and Ecclestone has said that is probably the limit.
Las Vegas hosted two Formula One grands prix in 1981 and 1982, with the track laid out in the parking lot of the Caesars Palace hotel and casino.
The purpose-built Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, is the only U.S. race on the current calendar that includes Montreal and Mexico City as the two other venues in North America.
Formula One has long sought a second race in the United States, a key market for sponsors and car manufacturers, with New Jersey listed on the provisional 2014 calendar for an event that never happened due to funding problems.

Title: president, Opus Event Marketing, Richmond, Va.
Insight: As companies move from selling products to marketing brands, event marketing is rising to the forefront.
Tip: Give your clients concierge-level service. Never do the same thing twice and always reinvent your wheel. Think "mind share," not awareness. Too many sponsorship packages are focused only on superficial measurements such as name and logo presence. Make the experience the thing to measure.
Creativity tricks: Bring technology to low-tech activities, entertainment to industrial events, trade show formats to consumer marketing. Mix oil and water.
Forecast: Events that evoke true emotional and human elements will beat out advertising. The Internet will complement, not replace, other forms of communication, and technology's demands will force more hands-on marketing.
Secret weapon: Have fun. Jump on a trampoline, twist Play-Doh, have a meeting at a pingpong table. Put customers and vendors into the planning loop in different

First Graders rock the iPad
4 comments:
This is really exciting! I just love all the links for us to see how you're doing this. I've subscribed to the 1st grade sight word videos in iPad...love it! Great job!!ReplyDelete
Such a great idea, what did you make the videos in? They are very well done and I'd love to duplicate the concept!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments. The videos are created with Keynote, then exported with Quicktime and scored/narrated in GarageBand. Once you have a template in Keynote with timing that works (all transition and animation timing is automatic, not manual), all you have to do is swap out the words for a new video.ReplyDelete
This is a fantastic resource! I've shared this with my 1st & 2nd Grade teachers, each of whom have a mini-cart of laptops in their classrooms. I could see using these videos with iPads, laptops, or as a whole-class activity on the interactive whiteboard. Thanks so much for documenting your experiences! We will be following your iPad pilot with great interest.ReplyDelete
