August 28, 1963 was a warm summer day. Hot, but not too humid. It was the day that the civil rights organizers brought the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom to Washington, DC. People came by chartered bus, chartered trains and carpools. City officials expected maybe 100,000 participants but the final total was around a quarter of a million. The plan originally called for a focus on economic demands but the focus shifted. The U.S. Congress was considering a bill for comprehensive civil rights barring segregation that JFK had put before Congress on June 11. The organizers wanted to press for equal rights and the end of discrimination in housing, jobs and schools. The March was nonviolent and peaceful involving about a quarter of a million people (DC officials had expected about 100,000). It showed the interracial character of the movement. It helped transform the struggle from a southern to a national movement.
But what remains in our memory is the stirring speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. Standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, honoring the man who had promulgated the Emancipation Proclamation 100 years earlier, King urged action in what has become known as the "I Have a Dream" speech. The speech has been called one of the greatest in American history. It was witnessed not only by the crowds in DC but also by television audience nationwide.
In his New York Times column James Reston (August 29, 1963) asserted that while the placards read "now", these were merely the opening demands of the movement. It was King who moved the crowd with his repeated cry of "I have a dream." And "each time the dream was a promise of out of our ancient articles of faith: phrases from the Constitution, lines from the great anthem of the nation, guarantees from the Bill of Rights, all ending with a vision that they might one day all come true. "
If this intrigues you, check out the display on our first floor remembering Martin Luther King Jr. and the struggle for Civil Rights.

RNA Polymerase
David Marcey & Nathan Silva
The molecule at left is the RNA Polymerase Holoenzyme from Thermus thermophilus. DNA-dependent RNA polymerases are responsible for building RNA transcripts (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) complementary to template strands of double stranded DNA, and regulation of their activity is often the final step in cellular pathways that control the expression of genes.
The massive holoenzyme contains 6 subunits: the s subunit, b' subunit, b subunit, w subunit, and two a dimer subunits.
The s subunit binds to the core polymerase (the remaining subunits) to initiate transcription at the core promoter of a gene. The s subunit is composed of alpha helices connected by turns and loops. These secondary structure elements are organized into four domains: N-terminal domain 1, N-terminal domain 2, Linker domain, and C-terminal domain. A fifth domain (N-terminal) is disordered and is not shown in the crystal structure. After synthesis of a 9-12 nucleotide RNA, the s subunit dissociates from the core polymerase, and the core begins the elongation of the RNA transcript.
The two largest subunits, b and b', combine to form a deep cleft between "crab claw pincers." The cleft is the channel into which DNA template is bound.
Deep at the base of the cleft is the active site of RNA polymerization, defined by three, evolutionarily conserved aspartate residues of the b' subunit. These residues, together with active site water molecules (not shown), chelate two magnesium ions. The metal ions play a key role in catalyzing the polymerization mechanism (as for all nucleic acid polymerases).
The s subunit binds to the core primarily through extensive interactions with the b' subunit. The N-terminal domain 2 of s is observed to bridge the b and b' "pincers," forming a wall that blocks one side of the DNA binding channel.
Numerous magnesium ions are observed to coat the polymerase surface. They may play a role in the binding and bending of DNA, which is thought to be wrapped around the polymerase as transcription proceeds.

After his wife left him, Rubin, the sculptor, took to wearing various odd hats. Now, at age forty-six, he favors a visorless, soft, round white cap. Arkin, the art historian at the New York City art school where Rubin also teaches, thinks that the hat "illumines a lonely inexpressiveness arrived at after years of experience." He tells Rubin that the hat resembles Rembrandt's hat—the one that Rembrandt wears in the profound self-portraits of his middle age. The day after Arkin makes this remark, Rubin stops wearing the hat and begins to avoid him.
Arkin—"a hypertensive bachelor of thirty-four"—has considered himself friendly with Rubin, although they are not really friends. Arkin has been at the school for seven years, having left an art curator's job in St. Louis to come to New York. Arkin could never get Rubin to say anything at all about his artwork. Arkin remembers that when he first arrived, Rubin was working in wood, altering driftwood objects with a hatchet. At that time Rubin was persuaded by the director of the art school to present an exhibition—his only one. The exhibit was not a success, and Rubin spent the time sulking in a storage room at the rear of the gallery. Recently, Arkin suggested that it might be a good idea for Rubin to show his new work, which is constructed from welded triangular pieces of scrap iron. The suggestion obviously irritated Rubin.
After the hat remark, months pass during which Rubin avoids Arkin. After a while Arkin, too, becomes irritated, reasoning that "he didn't like people who didn't like him." He usually worries, however, that it might be his fault. He decides that he has probably done three things to alienate Rubin: not mentioning Rubin's driftwood show; suggesting the possibility of a new show that Rubin obviously does not want; and commenting on Rubin's white cap. He makes up his mind to apologize to...

May 11, 2005
The following is the text as prepared for delivery of Mayor Bloomberg's Affordable Housing Address at New York Hilton Hotel in the Manhattan:
Good afternoon everyone.
Citizens Housing and Planning Council is a great organization that has for many years created good, affordable housing for all New Yorkers.
1937: that was the year CHPC was founded. We were in the midst of the Great Depression-years of misery for many in our city.
But they were also years when we were fortunate to be led by our greatest mayor, Fiorello La Guardia. And nowhere did he demonstrate his energetic leadership more effectively than in working to create affordable housing.
That wasn't some abstract issue for La Guardia. It was a passionate crusade-one profoundly influenced by the fact that his first wife and their infant daughter were victims of the great killing disease of the city's overcrowded tenements: tuberculosis.
So he put New York in the forefront of the drive to establish public housing-aided by the National Public Housing Act that CHPC played a key role in persuading Congress to pass. In the fall of 1937, the first families moved into the most ambitious public housing development the nation had ever seen: Williamsburg Houses in Brooklyn.
For people coming there from the city's slums, the apartments at the Williamsburg Houses were a dream come true. They offered the kind of light and ventilation and space that the tenants had only dreamed of.
Well, our city is vastly different now than it was back in 1937. But the dream of creating good housing and of giving our children an atmosphere of humanity and decency in which to grow up endures.
It endures because, while the teeming tenements of La Guardia's days are thankfully gone, for far too many of our fellow New Yorkers the desperate need for affordable housing remains.
Today, nearly half of New Yorkers pay more than 30% of their income to rent apartments that are all-too-often cramped and crowded.
For millions of New Yorkers, the struggle to pay the rent, makes saving for their children's educations or putting something aside for their own future needs is virtually impossible.
So long as that remains the case, the great promise of New York - the promise of truly being a city of opportunity for all, will remain unfulfilled.
That's why I join you in saluting today's honorees for their contributions to creating good housing for New Yorkers: Donald Notice and West Harlem Group Assistance, George Engelke Jr. and Astoria Federal Savings and Loan, and Ronay Menschel and Adam Weinstein of Phipps Houses.
It's also why our Administration has made affordable housing one of our top priorities.
And today, I'm proud to tell you that using our era's resources and tools we are producing extraordinary results.
We've accomplished that, first and foremost, by fostering the conditions that make for a healthy housing market and then by channeling those market forces into the production of affordable housing.
By driving crime down to historic lows in all five boroughs, by making our streets cleaner than they've been in 30 years, by reforming our public schools, and by creating jobs and opportunity in all five boroughs, we've convinced housing developers that this is a city with a boundless future - one where businesses want to locate and expand, and where people want to live and raise their families.
The result is that our housing market is flourishing.
Just look at the record. Last year, new housing construction in New York reached a 32-year high. And construction continues to climb. During the first quarter of this year, housing permits were 38% higher than during the same period of 2004.
And let me note the boroughs outside Manhattan are leading the way. Over the last year, more than half the new housing permits the city has issued have been for construction in Brooklyn and Queens.
And we've capitalized on this strong private market to foster investment in affordable housing.
Our Administration is fortunate to have a great housing policy team, whose leaders are here today: Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Shaun Donovan, Emily Youssouf, the president of HDC, the Housing Development Corporation, and Tino Hernandez, chairman of the New York City Housing Authority.
They understand that today, leveraging private investment is key to creating affordable housing.
That's because City government no longer holds the vast stock of housing surrendered in the tax foreclosures that followed the widespread arson and abandonment of the 1970s. Mayor Koch and his successors created incentives to rehabilitate that housing for the people of our city. They set in motion the miraculous neighborhood renaissance that continues today.
As our communities have revived, the city's in rem housing stock has fallen from the more than 100,000 apartments the City owned some 20 years ago to just 3,000 apartments now.
Which means that today, the private market is where the real affordable housing action is, and where it will be in the future. That's why we call the affordable housing initiative our Administration launched some two and a half years ago "The New Housing Marketplace."
And to stimulate that marketplace, we've developed new incentives and tools, established new partnerships and found creative ways to stimulate affordable housing development.
For starters, our Administration made a five-year commitment to the New Housing Marketplace totaling $3 billion. As part of that, HDC is investing $500 million of the corporate reserves it has built up over time, with the goal of leveraging six times that much in private dollars.
Then we began to aggressively recruit affordable housing partners in the non-profit sector, in government, and in the private sector, too.
Last fall, for example, we won a major new commitment from one of the City's most reliable affordable housing allies: the Enterprise Foundation. It's putting $1 billion in equity, grants, and loans into the New Housing Marketplace-enough to build and preserve 15,000 affordable homes for New Yorkers.
In April, along with City Comptroller Bill Thompson, we also created another new partnership that we believe will establish a long-term dedicated fund for affordable housing with monies from Battery Park City Authority. We're working with the directors of the BPCA, and are hopeful they will approve this agreement.
It would amount to $130 million over the next four years. It also would make good on a decades-old pledge to the people of New York, to use BPCA funds for affordable housing-and no one has been more tireless in advocating for that than CHPC executive director Frank Braconi. It would allow the City to acquire and repair existing housing, often in bulk and at discounted prices, obtain and prepare land now for affordable housing development later and subsidize apartments for the lowest-income New Yorkers, like many of the formerly homeless, who are hard to serve with existing programs.
We've also pulled Mo Vaughn into our lineup-that's right, the former Mets slugger. He used to cover first base at Shea Stadium, but now he's got a new bag -- affordable housing in the South Bronx.
Earlier this year, our Administration teamed up with Mo and his company, Omni New York LLC, to launch a $5 million renovation of 300 apartments at two buildings in Mott Haven. The apartments will be getting new floors, new bathrooms, new kitchen cabinets, and major upgrades in electrical, plumbing, and other building systems. And rents will stay at an average of $270 a month.
It is one of many instances in which the City is serving as a matchmaker for transferring properties from HUD-the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development-to groups like Omni that are willing to make the investments the buildings need, and keep them affordable. Mo Vaughn is with us today. And Mo let me tell you, you've hit a real affordable housing grand slam for our city.
One of our top priorities is opening up more of our long-abandoned waterfront to public use and enjoyment.
And we've capitalized on the market's clear desire to build in these neighborhoods to ensure that there will be thousands of units of new affordable housing on our reclaimed waterfront. The rezonings of the Hudson Yards earlier this year, and of the Greenpoint/Williamsburg waterfront which the Council is expected to approve this afternoon, will-in the years to come-create whole new neighborhoods in New York.
CHPC's involvement in this effort-your constructive criticism and principled endorsement of these rezonings-made an enormous difference. Your support was especially valuable in helping us devise mechanisms that ensure the creation of more than 3,700 affordable apartments in the Hudson Yards area and more than 3,500 affordable apartments in Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
CHPC has long been an articulate advocate for inclusionary zoning-for permitting developers to build taller buildings in exchange for keeping some of the apartments affordable.
We embrace inclusionary zoning for two key reasons. First, it gives affordable housing traction it wouldn't otherwise have in a hot real estate market-because with inclusionary zoning, the stronger the market, the more valuable the extra apartments in the taller buildings become.
Second, inclusionary zoning promotes the kind of socially cohesive neighborhoods that define New York City at our best. It replaces anti-development fears about gentrification and displacement with a commitment to building economically and ethnically diverse communities.
That's a big win for New York's future.
In the case of Greenpoint and Williamsburg, how we "got to yes" on the rezoning plan showed just how sincere our commitment to the community was.
It was a process that residents of the community took part in, and the outcome was one they helped shape. And that's only right, because they're going to be living with the results for years to come.
The Catholic Church, the Diocese of Brooklyn, Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens, and also local parishes, played a big role in shaping this historic agreement, which will result in the creation of 54 new acres of parks and open spaces- as well as, in percentage terms, establishing the biggest affordable housing commitment the City has ever made as part of a rezoning package.
I'd like to ask all of you to join me in recognizing, and thanking Father Jim O'Shea of Churches United for Fair Housing for helping us craft this historic agreement.
And by the way, I want to point out that the Diocese of Brooklyn is our partner in more ways than one. It has committed that 150 units of affordable housing will go up on sites it holds in Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
Those are some of the affordable housing strategies we've followed, and the tools we've employed to realize them.
Now let me summarize our results.
When we launched the New Housing Marketplace some two years ago, we set a goal of funding the preservation and creation of 65,000 units of affordable housing in all five boroughs by the end of 2008. They will be concentrated where they're needed most, including nearly 21,000 units slated for the Bronx and nearly 19,000 for Brooklyn.
They include an exciting new homeownership program developed by HDC and Bank of America that will finance construction of some 3,000 affordable co-ops.
All told, they will provide housing for 200,000 New Yorkers.
By the end of next month, we will be 40% of the way to meeting our original 65,000-unit goal; 26,000 units will be created or preserved, providing housing for nearly 80,000 New Yorkers.
But in more ways than one, that's only the beginning.
That's true because many additional initiatives are taking us beyond our original target.
The $130 million housing trust fund we hope to establish with BPCA funds would let us increase our goal to 68,000 units by the end of 2008-with an additional 1,500 to follow in the years after that.
Second, many of the more than 7,200 units of affordable housing that will result from the inclusionary rezonings of Hudson Yards and Greenpoint/Williamsburg aren't even part of the original New Housing Marketplace plan. Their development will occur after 2008-and will be a big down-payment on the city's future affordable housing needs.
An third, HDC has already kept some 8,500 Mitchell-Lama apartments affordable, by offering Mitchell-Lama owners repair loans and restructured mortgages in exchange for staying in the program. That total is expected to almost double by the end of the summer.
When you combine all of these additional major ventures and add them to the New Housing Marketplace, we're on course to preserve and create at least 85,000 units of affordable housing citywide over the life of these initiatives.
Nor are we stopping there.
With help from the MacArthur Foundation, HPD is already laying the groundwork for the next round of large-scale housing preservation efforts, with preliminary planning focusing on the approximately 200,000 housing units in New York that are either part of HUD's portfolio or are Low-Income Housing Tax Credit developments, or are Mitchell-Lama apartments in the five boroughs not covered by HDC's second mortgage program.
And HDC is also helping NYCHA fund an historic four-year, $2 billion plan to repair and modernize public housing throughout the city, a capital program that will dramatically improve housing and the quality of life for many of NYCHA's 420,000 tenants. Coupled with "Operation Safe Housing," our multi-agency campaign to drive crime down in NYCHA developments, it shows that we still honor the commitment to good public housing that Mayor La Guardia and the CHPC made nearly 70 years ago.
That commitment involved a strong partnership with Washington-and today, we still need the support and cooperation of our Federal government. Because while private investment is crucial to affordable housing creation, it's also true that investors need to be confident that government is going to be a steady and consistent partner.
The future of affordable housing in New York depends on a strong Federal commitment to our local efforts.
In the realm of public housing, HUD has proposed a new funding formula that would substantially reduce Federal support for the city's Housing Authority.
I have strongly urged the Bush Administration and Congressional leaders to reject these proposed cuts, and you should, too. Instead, they should live up to the funding formula that was already worked out in negotiations among HUD, public housing authorities, and tenant representatives. That would be the fair thing to do.
Also, as you know, the Bush Administration has proposed consolidating some 18 programs, including the Community Development Block Grant program, into one block grant, and cutting funds to them by 35%.
The good news is that Congress's budget resolution rejected that proposal, and restored some $1.5 billion to the CDBG program. The less-than-good news is that that resolution is purely advisory. The action now moves to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate for a final decision in the fall.
Our Administration's position is simple: The Community Development Block Grant program must be fully funded.
And that funding can't involve robbing Peter to pay Paul by taking money away from other housing programs.
CDBG was crucial to what the Koch, Dinkins, and Giuliani Administrations accomplished in getting the City's in rem housing back on the tax rolls. But our support for CDBG isn't based on nostalgia.
Right now, 75% of the more than half-million housing code inspections that HPD makes each year are paid for by CDBG monies. These funds also pay for 100% of HPD's emergency repair program. In fact, at $141 million, CDBG accounts for more than 30% of HPD's expense budget in the current fiscal year.
Those funds are crucial to sustaining the achievements of our affordable housing initiatives and their continued success is crucial to what Father O'Shea and Mo Vaughn and all of you here today are doing to help us truly make New York a city of opportunity for all.
Good affordable housing, housing that provides all New Yorkers with an environment of humanity and decency in which to live and raise their families, is fundamental to realizing that vision. I know. I can still remember how thrilled my mother and father were when our family moved into the home they'd scrimped and saved to buy back in Medford, Massachusetts.
It was modest. But it was ours. And it helped give me the foundation to make what I could of my life.
Every boy and girl growing up in this city today deserves that same chance and with your help and your continued support over the next four years, we'll give them that opportunity and we'll make sure that the best days for them and for all of New York City are still to come.
Thank you and God bless you all.

The Northwestern Wildcats hope they can finally move on from their fourth-quarter struggles.
After holding on for a 23-20 victory over Michigan State on Sunday, the Wildcats are very much in the mix for a quality bowl bid at the end of the season.
Northwestern (8-3, 4-3 Big Ten) blew fourth-quarter leads in losses to Penn State, Nebraska and Michigan, so the Wildcats had reason to be anxious when Michigan State took over at its own 20-yard line with 1:29 remaining, needing a field goal to tie.
But Andrew Maxwell threw four straight incompletions, and now Northwestern can state its case even further to bowl representatives next weekend against Illinois.

Irishman set for extradition to US on 'Silk Road' charge to appeal
Gary Davis, the Wicklow man who is alleged to have been an administrator of the Silk Road website that dealt with illegal drugs and hacking software is to appeal the High Court's order that he be extradited to the United States.
Mr Davis, 27, of Johnstown Court in Kilpedder is wanted by US authorities on charges of conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit computer hacking and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Mr Davis, who has Asperger's Syndrome and depression, had opposed the request. Among his points of objection, he said that if extradited he will be detained in an inhuman and degrading manner. If convicted in the US Mr Davis could receive a life sentence.
Lawyers for the Attorney General said that Mr Davis should be surrendered to the US.
Earlier this month Mr Justice Paul McDermott ruled that Mr Davis be surrendered to the US.
The judge rejected all grounds of Mr Davis's opposition to the request including that his Constitutional rights and rights under the European Convention on Human Rights would be breached.
Following the decision Mr Davis was remanded in custody to Cloverhill Prison.
The matter returned before the court today when Ms Justice Caroline Costello was informed that Mr Davis has lodged an appeal against Mr Justice McDermott's order with the Court of Appeal.
Mr Davis, represented in court by Niamh Foley Bl, made an application to the to Court to release him on bail pending the outcome of his appeal.
The state said it was consenting to bail, on conditions including that he sign on daily with the Gardai and that an independent surety of €15,000, €10,000 of which must be cash, be lodged in court.
Further terms of his bail include that he reside at Johnstown Court in Kilpedder, be of good behaviour and undertake not to seek travel documents that would allow him leave the jurisdiction.
The court heard Mr Davis had been on bail while the High Court was dealing with the extradition request and had fully complied with all the terms of his bail.
Ms Justice Costello, who approved Mr Davis's father John Davis as the independent surety, granted Mr Davis bail. Mr Davis was not in court, but he is expected to be released from custody sometime on Friday.
The Silk Road, which was shut down by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2013, was an underground website that hosted a "sprawling black market bazaar" on the internet.
Mr Davis is accused of acting as a site administrator on the Silk Road website using the name 'Libertas'. It was launched in 2011. It was created and run by American Ross William Ulbricht under the pseudonym 'Dread Pirate Roberts' (DPR).
Ulbricht had been charged and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment. The site offered anonymity to its users, where trades were conducted in the online currency bitcoins.
The US authorities claim between June 2013 and October 2013 Mr Davis was a site administrator of the Silk Road website and had an "explicit knowledge of the items for sale on the website".
The drugs available on the site included heroin, LSD, cocaine and amphetamines.
It was claimed that as part of his role, Mr Davis dealt with queries from the site users, and had re-organised into different categories certain items that could be purchased on the website.

A bearish strategy led yesterday's option activity in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
optionMONSTER systems show that a trader bought 4,230 September 45 puts for the ask price of $3.05 and, at the same time, sold the same number of September 65 calls for their bid price of $4.25. This is new positioning, as the open interest at each strike was under 500 contracts before the session began.
This combination trade takes in a credit of $1.20, which will be the profit if GMCR is between the two strikes at expiration. The real profits kick in if shares fall below $45, while the trader is effectively short shares above $65. This could well be a collar trade to protect gains in a long stock position. (See our Education section)
GMCR rose 0.39 percent to $57.31 yesterday. The coffee company has been in a reasonably tight range for the last six weeks, though it did post a 52-week closing high of $58.22 on April 11. Shares were below $18 last July.
More than 29,000 GMCR options traded overall yesterday, compared to a daily average of 8,800.

At night or on cloudy days when your solar panels aren't functioning, you can be drawing energy from the electric grid and, in essence, using up your credits. First Solar is the lead manufacturer and researcher in the area of skinny film solar. I did not realize that the brand new bill included tax breaks for individuals who install photo voltaic.
Utilities throughout the U.S. have been deploying group photo voltaic applications since 2010, providing photo voltaic energy to residential and commercial customers in multi-story buildings and people with out an satisfactory roof to assist photo voltaic electrical energy era. This first silicon PV solar cell had an efficiency of about only 4%, however they had been able to make a cell with about 11% efficiency a few years later. While visiting Greece, the quantity of photo voltaic hot water systems on the roofs, even of apartment buildings, was surprising. If there is one good success story in solar power in India, it's in rooftop solar water heaters.
Unlike fossil fuel primarily based applied sciences, solar energy doesn't lead to any dangerous emissions during operation, however the manufacturing of the panels leads to some amount of pollution. Like the sCharger-5 above, it also makes use of 'Auto Retry' know-how to stop large fluctuations in energy if you catch a cloud. The 13.7 megawatt (MW) floating solar power plant will likely be built on the Yamakura Dam reservoir.
Trina Solar the global leaders in PV modules and solutions, considers JLanka as the precious associate within the Asian Region since 2010. Municipalities can lower your expenses with photo voltaic powered street lights, and other visitors or directional signs. In reality, the solar PV trade aims to offer half of all new U.S. electricity technology by 2025.

Editorial Staff • London • 20 May 2009
Pete Townshend's legendary rock opera Quadrophenia is brought to the stage for the first time and appears at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh from Tuesday 26 to Saturday 30 May as part of a UK tour. Set in London and Brighton at the height of the Mod era, Quadrophenia is told through the eyes of Jimmy, a hedonistic style conscious teenager searching for a place to belong and a girl to love. Misunderstood by his parents and stuck in a dead end job, he sets off on a trip to Brighton that will change his life forever.
The compelling coming of age story is brought to life in this original stage adaptation of the legendary album. The evocative world of sixties Britain provides a colourful backdrop to Jimmy's journey. Pete Townshend's score captures the excitement of a nation on the brink of change. Quadrophenia documents a culturally significant moment in Britain, the influences of which are still seen today in music and fashion. The story takes a snapshot of one of the most interesting and energising times for pop culture in Britain.

An article in the July 26, 1906, Saratogian of Saratoga Springs, New York, raised an interesting prospect under this headline: "Here is a Chance for Saratoga Souvenirs, Real Ones, Unique, and No Duplicates in Existence. Take a Purple Float Home." It seems that Benjamin P. Wheat, receiver of the defunct Saratoga Floral Association, was anxious to unload "eighteen Mardi Gras floats that received more advertising on their way from New Orleans to Saratoga than William J. Bryan on his European tour." The floats had been collecting dust for several years in a barn near the Adirondack Railroad. After that fleeting reference, though, the historical record fades. We don't know who, if anyone, bought them, or where they ended up.
What were floats from New Orleans doing in a village so far away from home in the first place? To answer that question, it's necessary to step further back in time. The resort town in upstate New York attracted visitors from as far away as Europe in the early part of the 19th century, and by the Victorian era it was the place to see and be seen....
In February 1901, a group of businessmen representing the recently incorporated Saratoga Floral Association visited New Orleans to observe Mardi Gras and to purchase the floats and costumes from that year's Rex Pageant....

University of Houston sophomore guard L.J. Rose will be eligible to play during the 2013-14 basketball season after the NCAA granted his waiver request.
Rose has three years of eligibility remaining.
"We are extremely grateful that the NCAA has granted L.J.'s request." UH coach James Dickey said in a statement. "We look forward to the start of the 2013-14 season with L.J. as a member of our program."
Rose, who graduated from Westbury Christian, played in 33 games for Baylor during the 2012-13 season before transferring.
SWAC, Houston to team up
The Southwestern Athletic Conference football championship game and basketball tournament will be held in Houston for the next three years.
An official announcement will be made during a news conference Thursday at Reliant Stadium.
UT's Papapetrou headed go Greece
Texas forward Ioannis Papapetrou, who averaged 8.3 points and 4.4 rebounds a game as a freshman last season, signed a five-year deal to play for Olympiacos BC in his native Greece and will not return to the Longhorns next season.

Service Dog Receives College Diploma
This year about 2,500 students just graduated from Idaho State University. Embracing the rite-of-passage of the newly-educated, most also participated in a commencement ceremony to receive their hard-earned diplomas. But unlike previous years, college graduates at Idaho State this spring were joined by a black and white pit bull who also walked the stage to accept a diploma.
The dog, Cletus, is a service dog and he walked the stage not for his own diploma, but that of his late owner, Josh Kelly, who passed away in February.
Kelly suffered from epilepsy and had been a part-time student at ISU for many years diligently working on his Bachelor of Science degree in Geoscience. The disease claimed his life before the commencement ceremony, so his father, Terrell Kelly and loyal canine, Cletus, stood in his stead at the May 10th graduation. The elder Kelly joked that Cletus went to all of the same classes his son did, so he probably deserves half that degree.
Unable to drive, Josh and his faithful companion would walk nearly two miles Monday through Friday, rain or shine, to catch a 6:30am bus to ISU. Occasionally on this journey from Idaho Falls to Pocatello, Josh would be suddenly overcome by a grand mal seizure. Cletus was always by his side ready to alert others of his owner's urgent need for medical help.
In spite of the trials and tribulations required to not only get to school and back, but continue with his studies, Josh was very dedicated to his education. In an interview with the college newspaper Terrell recalled, "I thought it was really amazing how committed he was to his education despite everything he faced." Josh became his hero.
"I think it is wonderful that the University is granting him a degree," said Josh's mother, Lynne Kelly. "During that last semester he was having a difficult time with his memory because of the seizures, which made it especially hard for math classes. He had brain surgery, nerve stimulations, and he was on medications, but nothing stopped the seizures. He continued to a have a grand mal every month, and would end up missing a couple of days of classes after each one."
"He was taking calculus II for the third or fourth time around," Lynne elaborated, "but was so excited that he was going to graduate, after passing a test early in the semester."

Always friendly and positive, Josh made a lasting impression on the staff, faculty and students at ISU, so much so that Geosciences Department has decided to name the department's kitchen after him and the undergraduate study room, Cletus's Corner.
"What really struck me about Josh was that he was a very hard-working person and super reliable," said Leif Tapanila, chair of the ISU geosciences department. "If you gave him a task he would get it done. He was a real stand-up guy. For a person with the challenges that were put before him, he always faced the day with a smile, a laugh and a joke, worked really hard at his studies and did well."
On May 10th when Cletus and Terrell walked across the stage, the audience exploded in applause. After receiving his son's diploma, he held it high in the air, looked to the heavens, and said, "This is for Josh."

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell has sent a 'heartbreaking' email to his estranged son after two years apart from his children.
The actor, who was cleared of sex charges in September, has not seen his son or daughter – both teenagers – since his bitter split from Janette Beverley, 47, in 2011.
But according to the Mirror, the actor, who plays Kevin Webster, has emailed the boy through a friend.
The friend told the newspaper: "He accepts he has not been the best dad and wants to make amends.
"He sent an email through a family friend a month ago, asking how they were and telling them how much he missed spending time with them all.
"It was heartbreaking stuff. But he hadn't heard anything for three weeks and was about to give up hope. Then his friend passed on a message saying they were 'fine'.
"It wasn't much but it has given Michael something to hold on to. It is a step forward."
At the 48-year-old star's trial for 12 child sex offences, he admitted his marriage crumbled because he was an alcoholic and had cheated on wife of 25 years, Janette.
Since then, Janette, who starred in Corrie as Elaine Pollard in 1984, has warned her ex that she was willing to take him to court and reveal all about their marriage to stop him ever seeing their children again.
She has said: "I stayed quiet because he kept the children out of it, but if he's bringing the children into it, I won't. I'd like to come out with the evidence."
Michael has now hired a solicitor in a bid to have contact with his children.

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the PHP section or here. Figured this is more of a server management thing than coding...so here it is! :-)
I've just begun to play with a test Windows server running IIS. This is completely for a friend and I to learn from. So, I really don't know jack yet.
I have IIS up and running and my site is visible from the web. So, that much is good. Now I want to get php and MySQL going.
I've found TONS of tutorials and walkthroughs on doing this, but most are very old and the new ones don't cover everything.
Here's what I know I want from reading...
Latest version of PHP running with FastCGI and then MySQL. All of this is running with IIS6.
I've found tutorials for installing PHP with Fast CGI...and I've found tutorials for installing MySQL. I've also found tutorials for installing MySQL and PHP, but they're old and only install with ISAPI rather than FastCGI.
Does anyone know of a good, comprehensive tutorial for later versions of php and MySQL with FastCGI? Or can someone help me write one to share with other ignorant folk like myself? :-D

On Tuesday, the Liberty County Board of Commissioners approved five grants for local historic sites along the Historic Liberty Trail, which stretches from the coast all throughout the county.
Each of the organizations — Midway Museum, Seabrook Village Foundation, Dorchester Improvement Association, Dorchester Village Civic Center and Geechee Kunda — were granted $12,000 after the completion of an extensively detailed packet issued by the commission. The total that can be applied for during the fiscal year is $12,500.
The funding was granted through a SPLOST resolution that was passed a few years ago as a county focus on historic preservation efforts. The funds only may be used for a specific list of projects submitted by the organization to the commission, Liberty County Assistant Administrator Bob Sprinkel said.
"The commissioners, when they initially did this, really wanted to help our historic sites and it was just one of those things that it wasn't easy to get to this point to do this," Sprinkel said. "It's been a long, hard task and struggle, but finally they're there and they're happy. It's been very frustrating for them. They've been working really hard to be able to do that (give grants)."
Funds through the grant must be used for the items listed on the approved application, Sprinkel said.
"There will be a checkup and they will have to show and account for their funds," Sprinkel said. "We feel very confident that everyone who has applied will do what they said they would do. We're proud to have them here and we're proud of what they do."
The trail has 11 different sites. Officials hope that if the route is well-cared for, it may attract tourists to the county — a concept that especially is appealing to sites near the 1-95 exit in Midway, such as Dorchester Village Civic Center.
"We were thrilled to get the information that the request has been approved. These are items we need for Dorchester school. We (already) spent a fortune renovating with private funds," DVCC President Barbara Martin said.
The center in Midway once was an old school, built in 1938. It now is the site of dances, shows, fundraisers, meetings and other community events.
Although volunteers already have raised $200,000 for renovations and restorations, it still hasn't been enough to fix the school that Martin herself once attended. The grant will alleviate some of the burden on volunteer fundraising and allow for crucial fixes and additions to be made. With the grant, a new storage shed, septic tank, tankless water heater and ceiling fans will be installed to offset operational costs.
"To receive help like this is really gratifying," Martin said.
Ideally, the DVCC committee hopes to one day have a coffee shop and a full-time employee to give tours, but Martin and other volunteers understand that's a long way off.
"That's in the future, you know, but we certainly want to think down those lines," Martin said. "We've got it in good shape now. As a need arises, then we'll make other improvements … we're just most appreciative (of the grant)."
The SPLOST account is dedicated to helping historic sites, which do not necessarily have to be on the trail but already must have been certified as nonprofit when the SPLOST passed a few years ago, Liberty County Administrator Joey Brown said. The account contains $168,000, all of which will be used to help local nonprofits.

Hennepin County health system loses CEO
- Article by: JACKIE CROSBY
- Star Tribune
- July 26, 2012 - 11:01 PM
Hennepin County Healthcare System is on the hunt for a new leader after announcing Thursday that CEO Arthur Gonzalez has resigned to take the top job at a public health system in Denver.
The organization, a public subsidiary of the county, operates Hennepin County Medical Center and nine other clinics in the west metro area. Board Chairman David Jones will take over as interim CEO.
Gonzalez came to Hennepin Healthcare in 2009, after leading a public health system in Oceanside, Calif. Gonzalez said that the challenge of working in a larger system and being closer to family were the main factors in his resignation, according to a hospital spokesman.
Sharon Sayles Belton, vice chairwoman of the board and former mayor of Minneapolis, will lead the board during the search for a permanent replacement.
Jones, a former executive at Allina Hospitals, retired in 2002 and is not expected to apply for the position.
Gonzalez oversaw the recent merger of the doctors group, Hennepin Faculty Associates, into Hennepin Healthcare. The group, with about 1,000 employees and 340 physicians, had operated independent of HCMC, the state's largest trauma center and a teaching hospital, for nearly three decades. With the clinicians now on the payroll, the merger is expected to save about $9 million a year for the first two years, according to the county.
Under Gonzalez's watch, the county made a much bigger push into the community, where it had operated only a handful of clinics when he took over.
Hennepin County Healthcare System now operates primary care clinics in Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Richfield, St. Anthony and Minneapolis as well as clinics in Wal-Mart stores in Bloomington and Eden Prairie. It also has a specialty neurology clinic in Chaska.
Hennepin County Healthcare System, prior to the January merger with Hennepin Faculty Associates, had about $590 million in revenue in 2011. HFA's budget was about $150 million. Total revenue for the combined operation is expected to be $732 million in 2012.
As interim CEO, Jones will earn $50,000 per month, with no benefits. Gonzalez's annual salary was $498,600.

7 Benefits of interactive content for nonprofits
What is interactive content
Interactive content is a specific piece of content aimed at engaging participants or readers, more than simply reading or watching. In fact, interactive content is a seamless integration of digital media into structured content including combinations of electronic text, graphics, moving images, and sound to make sure that users are able to interact with data or information.
By contrast, an interactive content experience is intended to be participatory, often including a feedback loop in which the outcome of the experience itself is directly impacted by the interaction of the visitor with the content.

hey solar-b,
I didn't have any trouble importing into Corel X4 , so I'm not sure what's going on there.
Try importing into QCAD and then exporting again.
Had some problems importing a generated box into CorelDraw X4, so I thought I'd pop it into AutoCAD 2008. DXFimport complained about:
"Improper color number 0 for Layer on line 90.
Invalid or incomplete DXF import -- drawing discarded."
Grrr. I hate software that throws up its arms rather than try skipping the error.
I tweaked your Python script on line 412 to make the color 3, and at least ACAD is happier, but still not import into CorelDraw (no biggie, I can re-dump the ACAD).
What design software are you using to import you
r DXF into that it works?
What I did was just change the script to use a [box] stanza instead of [default] which seems to have some magical properties not relevant to just defining a box.
Er... ok, that's only the first step, it seems like ConfigParser has changed the way it handles DEFAULT. Or something.
I get an error on Ubuntu Maverick and Python 2.6. Here's the diff to fix it:
lt; c.add_section('default')
lt; c.set('default',i,vars(opt)[i])
gt; c.set('DEFAULT',i,vars(opt)[i])

This is not a drill. Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for Okracoke Island, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, and Cape Lookout National Seashore.
North Carolina Dare County Emergency Management officials issued a mandatory evacuation order for all visitors to Hatteras Island Wednesday, effective immediately. Hyde County also declared a state of emergency and ordered mandatory evacuations beginning today for all visitors and residents of Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks. Despite all the predictions that Hurricane Earl will not hit land, a strong possibility remains that it could make North Carolina landfall as a Category 3.
A hurricane watch is in effect for North Carolina and Virginia from north of Surf City, N.C. to Parramore Island, Va. including the Pamlico and Albermarle Sounds.
A tropical storm watch is in effect for the North Carolina coast from Cape Fear to Surf City. A spokesman for the National Hurricane Center said that a storm this powerful has not threatened such a large area of the East Coast since Hurricane Bob in 1991.
Anticipating the arrival of Earl, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell declared a state of emergency today for his state's coastal communities as early as Thursday night. The declaration gives Virginia local authorities the power to enforce mandatory evacuations if necessary.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said just before 5 a.m. San Francisco time that he system was 780 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina, moving northwest and away from the Turks and Caicos Islands at 16 mph. "The worst case scenario is Earl does make landfall in the Outer Banks and even in New England and brings major hurricane conditions to those places. Our forecast is for this to pass just offshore but it wouldn't take much of a turn for it to hit land." said John Cangialosi, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center.
Look at the trajectories of Hurricane Earl. There is still a possibility that Earl will hit inland endangering North Carolina up to Massachusetts. On the upper right side corner of the map, turn on Forecast Models. Also click on the Clouds button to see the reach of Earl's winds. You will notice that Earl does not have to hit the shore to inflict damage. The numerous anticipated paths underscore the unpredictable nature of hurricane science. Each color is a different predictive model. The US Navy NOGAPS (Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System) Hurricane Tracking model has Earl barely hitting the North Carolina shores. The live map is from my friends at StormPulse.
A little background on hurricanes. There could be no science that is more inexact and prone to conjecture as weather forecasting. The proof of this is the number of hurricane models out there. Try playing with the interactive map above. The map is the closest you will get to real time tracking and projections. The tracking incorporates multiple projections from all the hurricane monitoring and prediction services. Despite all the tracks available. I use the "most reliable" method – the straight line ruler method. The method simply says take a straight line ruler and lay down a line on the dominant immediate past track and you have a greater than 50/50 chance of accuracy. Based on this method, I still have Earl hitting between Wilmington and Cape Hatteras.
Come back often as this real-time storm track will be updated all the time.
Packing top sustained winds of 125 mph (205 kph), Earl was churning over the open Atlantic. Earl is expected to sideswipe the densely populated coast from North Carolina to New England on a forecast northward offshore path during the upcoming U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend marking the end of the summer vacation season. Storm surges from 16 – 31 feet are expected with sure damage to low lying shore communities in the Outer Banks and other coastal areas.
Rain from Earl will probably start arriving in Boston tomorrow night, with the worst impact the following afternoon. The hurricane is expected to pass about 50 to 100 miles southeast of Nantucket with wind gusts of at least 74 mph for the island and Cape Cod, he said. Boston is forecast to receive heavy rain and may see winds in the 39 mph to 73 mph range. "The rain could be heavy enough for some localized urban flooding," said Bob Thompson, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service's Taunton, Massachusetts, office. "That could be the biggest impact for Boston."

Welcome to Part 3 of my 4-part series about fighting back against spam! If you missed the previous two parts in this Tips for Fighting Spam Series, you can view them using the links at the bottom of this post.
Twitter is one of my favourite places to fight back against spammers. Not only is it often easy to spot spammers on Twitter, you also have a way to report them. Here are 5 really easy ways to keep your Twitter account safe and fight back against spammers!
1. Don't Feel Obligated to Follow Back:
It's always nice to get a new follower on Twitter, but there's no rule saying that you have to follow back. Before you follow someone back, go check out their Twitter feed to see if they're posting legitimate tweets. If the Twitter account is only posting one link over and over again, it's probably a spammer (or someone who really hasn't caught on to Twitter yet, in which case, you might not want to follow them anyway). Do your research before you follow back and you'll help dilute the power spammers have on Twitter; just like bullies in the school yard, if they're not getting attention, they'll go bug someone else.
2. Don't Click Links in Direct Messages (DMs) Unless You're Sure They're Legit:
This is where Twitter spam gets complicated. Often spammers who have gained access to Twitter users' account will send out a rash of messages that might read something like, "LOL check out this funny pic of you: [link that will open you to spammers]." The trickiest part about these messages is that they might come from a friend's account, or might seem legitimate. Spammers are smart: they'll often go after our innate human curiosity (who wouldn't want to see a funny picture of themselves?). If you're in doubt, don't click the link, and if you're really curious, send a message back to your Twitter friend asking if the link is legit.
3. Report Spammers:
Twitter has notoriously had problems with spammers — in fact, they've taken some of them to court — so they have created ways for the good guys (you and me) to report spammers for them to investigate. If you're certain you've happened upon a spammer, you can report them to Twitter for further investigation. I'm not sure how effective this is, or how much time the folks at Twitter have to look into spammers, but it sure makes me feel better. Here's how to report a spammer on Twitter:
- Click on the spammer's Twitter account and then click on the little person/profile icon.
- In the drop down menu, you'll see the option to 'Block' or 'Report for Spam'.
- If you choose 'Report for Spam,' you'll block the person AND report them for spam.
4. Change your Password on the Regular:
As always, changing your Twitter password regularly and creating strong passwords will go a long way towards keeping your account safe. In fact, if you only do one thing to protect your account, it should be this.
5. Lend a Hand:
When you suspect that a Twitter friend's account has been compromised, let them know! It only takes a few seconds to send them a tweet or DM letting them know they sent you a weird link or that they are posting odd tweets. This can stop the spread of the spammy links or password phishing schemes even faster, and allow your Twitter friend to take the necessary steps to fix their account.
More Resources:
You can find even more ways to keep your Twitter account safe in the Twitter Help Center.

As usual, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show delivers the goods with this hilarious segment on the missing iPhone that landed in the lap of Gizmodo and subsequently created a firestorm of controversy. The pertinent portion of the video starts at around 2 minutes in, so forward on, gentle readers.
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
In the final stanza, Stewart calls out Apple for becoming "Big Brother."
Apple, you know I love you guys, right? I love your products, I use them all the time. I even love your stores, so futuristic they look like futuristic Swedish hospitals, the kind where they keep your clone in the back to replace your organ when you need it…
Apple – you guys were the rebels, man, the underdogs. People believed in you. But now, are you becoming the man? Remember back in 1984, you had those awesome ads about overthrowing Big Brother? Look in the mirror, man! Or actually just look into the screen of your iPad before you turn it on, because it is surprisingly reflective…It wasn't supposed to be this way. Microsoft was supposed to be the evil one. But you guys are busting down doors in Palo Alto while Commandant Gates is ridding the world of mosquitoes! What the fuck is going on?! It's all mixed up!
…I know that it is slightly agitating that a blog dedicated to technology published all that stuff about your new phone. And you didn't order the police to bust down the doors, right? I'd be pissed too, but you didn't have to go all Minority Report on his ass! I mean, if you wanna break down someone's door, why don't you start with AT&T, for God sakes? They make your amazing phone unusable as a phone! I mean, seriously! How do you drop four calls in a one-mile stretch of the West Side Highway! There're no buildings around! What, does the open space confuse AT&T's signal?!

The recent wave of anti-Western protests come at the worst possible time for Egypt's new government as it looks abroad to bolster its shattered economy.
Even as demonstrators -- furious over a U.S.-produced film's depiction of the Prophet Muhammad -- took to the streets in Cairo last week, calling for Egypt to sever diplomatic ties, President Mohammed Morsi was in Europe looking for loans. It is estimated that the Egyptian government needs some $3 billion a month for the next eight months or more just to stay afloat.
Meanwhile, the violence against the U.S. embassy and the fact that Cairo was slow to condemn it has left some in Washington wondering if Egypt is still a friend.

Midshipmen were trainees onboard capital ships. The captain of the ship would often spend a short time with them each day for instruction.[source?] The midshipmen were ranked higher than enlisted men, such as stormtroopers, but below regular officers.[source?] When the captain felt the midshipman was ready, they would be promoted to ensign.[source?] As an ensign, they would begin a road eventually, hopefully leading to command of their own captaincy and ship someday.[source?]
Some known midshipmen included Koth Barak, Gasto and Brandis.
Within the Imperial Navy, the position of midshipman was the lowest rank. The specific rank, depending on whether the officer in the Navy was a line officer or a specialist officer, was an Ensign or simply an Officer, respectively.
In the Alliance Fleet most of the advanced training for naval officer candidates was part of their time served as midshipmen on active vessels with the midshipmen serving in a variety of roles, receiving training from the ship's officers, and studying engagements the vessel had fought in. They often asked the ship's officers questions about the decisions they made during prior battles and why those decisions were made as well.

Larry,

Once an area was considered a US Territory, census records were ususally kept. Some of these were special censuses, meaning that they were not necessarily kept at the regular 10 year interval that censuses were kept for the then current states of the US. You might find a census every year or so because the US government needed to know how many people were living in that territory. Some of these censuses are statistical and some list the heads of household and the number of people living in it. It really depends upon the reason that the census was taken.
