Size & Fit Details
Merino wool Tippi sweater
Merino wool Tippi sweater is rated out of 5 by 282.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TorontoModern from Nice alternative to t-shirts I am 5 ft tall - but I prefer the regular XS sizing for the Tippi over the petite sizing. I personally find the petite XS too short and tight. I could wear the petite S but find it too short. Regular XS covers part but not all of my bottom - but I think I must have a longer torso and shorter legs than most. I suspect other 5 ft women might prefer the petite. It's a nice alternative to t-shirts for work in fall, spring and winter. I can wear under blazers, under cardigans and on its own. I think it is too expensive at regular price, but if you wait for a sale and coupon code promotion, you can pay the same you would pay for a t-shirt which makes it an incredible deal. Sometimes the colors online do not seem "true to life" once you see the actual sweater so you do have to exercise caution on some of the colors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bensd from Perfect sweater to pair with a pleated skirt! If you are looking for a go-to sweater this fall, I highly recommend this one! The fabric, the cut and the overall look are great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jean from I have multiple This is a great sweater with classic cut and high quality material.I own both Jcrew and Factory versions - i think the Jcrew version's yarn is slightly thicker and/or closer knit, same great fit, you can barely tell the difference. Note that the lighter colored ones may be too sheer - i had to return a heather silver because even with a nude colored tank top underneath, it was too see-through for my liking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WinterWarrior from Will Buy in Every Color I got the jade and the acorn colors on sale and they were worth every penny! These sweaters fit like a glove and the colors are stunning. I got my usual x-small size and I couldn't be happier with the fit (for reference I'm 5'6, 128lbs). If you want to wear a button down underneath I would suggest sizing up since these are light and fitted. I wear sweaters almost every day for 9 months out of the year in the frozen tundra that is Boston, but I plan on buying these in every color to brighten up this upcoming fall/winter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WrenHarper from Love Tippi Before purchasing a Tippi sweater, I read several reviews of people who had one in almost every color. After purchasing one myself, I now know why. Super versatile, can be dressed up or down. Perfect for a capsule wardrobe. For reference I am 107 lbs, 34B/C and the XS was perfect. I purchased a XXS in another color (which was a final sale item), and it is only a tiny bit too small.

It was almost a year ago that I backed my first Kickstarter project, Twine, a "wireless square with sensors and a simple web app to set rules." Theoretically, I could stick one on my back door and tell it to text me when my kids open the back door around 2:27 p.m.
Twine was funded with $556,541 versus its $35,000 goal.
Winter came and went, flowers bloomed everywhere, I co-wrote and published a book, and my family had a nice vacation in Hawaii. Still no sign of Twine.
Then I switched gears and backed a very low tech venture, Little Bonsai's The Clip. It promised to be my "capable and dependable daily companion sporting a whole range of different functions."
Think of a flat, steel bottle opener that goes on your key ring, and you get the general idea. Somehow in my excitement over crowdfunding, The Clip seemed so enticing I ordered four of them.
It turned out that the clips were too inflexible to be nearly as useful as I had hoped, but at least Little Bonsai delivered.
I also backed the decidedly low tech Unfolding Tree (as in Christmas), and it arrived in time to make the journey to Vermont.
The score so far: Low Tech 2, High Tech 0.
Next came two more sensor projects. The first was Ninja Blocks, which is "controlled with 'if this then that' style tasks and connects your things to the web." It's pretty similar to Twine, except that the sensor has a weird little stick figure on the prototype version.
Back in March they were funded with $102,935 versus a $24,000 goal. You guessed it – no sign yet of Ninja Blocks.
Finally, during the late summer I backed the big daddy of all Kickstarter sensor projects, Smart Things. Their summary reads like God's job description, "Adding intelligence to everyday things in your world, so that your life can be more awesome."
Smart Things attracted a whopping $1.2 million. In fairness, it's been less than two months since they took my money, but the trend continues: no sign of the new sensors.
Don't get me wrong; I still love the idea of individuals backing other individuals, and of innovation moving faster outside companies than it does inside them. But the cold, hard reality of this admittedly small sample is that innovation often moves slower at Kickstarter's tech projects than it does in the corporate world.
It's obviously a lot easier to make a three-minute Kickstarter video about cool new sensors than it is to make cool new sensors. But that's likely only one aspect of this problem.
With crowdfunded projects, no one vets the entrepreneurs. Since most of us only put $10 to perhaps $300 at risk, many people probably don't take the time to check into the entrepreneurs' backgrounds, or to investigate whether any real companies are already making what the Kickstarter project creator proposes to "invent."
For example, Visualight, which just last week passed its $27,500 Kickstarter goal, proposes to make "an open-source Wi-Fi enabled light bulb that can visualize data as colored light."
To my eye, this project looks awfully similar to Ambient Devices' Energy Orb.
A few months ago I spoke to their CEO, Pritesh Gandhi, who explained that years ago this device was his firm's first product, originally called the Ambient Orb. The company built and sold over "one million units" of devices that display what Pritesh calls glanceable data, before realizing that the best way to make money in this space was to license its technology rather than act as a manufacturer.
On the surface, Ambient Devices is years ahead of Visualight, not just in terms of actually knowing how to make glanceable data devices, but also in terms of actually running a business.
My guess is that most of the hundreds of people who backed Visualight have never heard of Ambient Devices.
I'd like to think that those of us who back Kickstarter projects are smart, forward thinking and ahead of our time. But there's a little voice in the back of my head that worries there are too few checks and balances in this space, and that it is far too easy for entrepreneurs to overpromise and get in over their heads.
True Kickstarter fans – or entrepreneurs from any of the projects described here – please feel free to reassure me.

Gender and women's studies is an interdisciplinary field that asks questions about gender and other socially constructed aspects of our identities. Our learning and research focus on critical thinking and social transformation. Check us out if you are eager to explore new ways of looking at the world.
Although few people come to college planning to major in gender and women's studies, the field has been around for more than 40 years, and hundreds of schools offer degrees in this area. Still, your first gender and women's studies class is likely to prompt you to ask "Why haven't I learned this before?" Because our courses examine subjects from multiple perspectives and question taken-for-granted beliefs, students often describe them as eye-opening. In addition, many of the top skills that employers seek today are at the heart of gender and women's studies: communication across differences, team building, problem solving, planning and interpreting information.
The learning community we seek to build in gender and women's studies at Western Michigan University is committed to personally and socially transformative scholarship, education and advocacy. We value diverse people and divergent points of view. Whether you attend a single event or take a single course, or perhaps pursue a major or minor, we invite you to join us in pursuit of greater understanding as well as a more equitable and sustainable future.

June 03 2013
By Robert J. McCarthy | News Political Reporter on May 30, 2013 - 10:32 PM
Democratic Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown remains a good friend of the Erie County Conservative Party.
So does Republican Sheriff Timothy B. Howard and Republican County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw.
All three won endorsements from the often-influential minor party Thursday evening – support that could prove influential if elections are close in November.
The nod for Brown solidifies his long association with the party and apparently recognizes his stand on Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's gun-control legislation known as the SAFE Act.
Brown insisted earlier this year he supported the new legislation but would offer no opinion on core provisions such as mandating smaller magazines or banning assault-style weapons. That was enough for Erie County Conservative Chairman Ralph C. Lorigo.
"He did not support the governor on the gun issue," Lorigo said. "He was not with the other Big Five mayors touting the SAFE Act."
Lorigo lauded Brown's opponents – Democrat Bernard Tolbert and Republican Sergio R. Rodriguez – but noted the mayor's record in fostering significant new development in the city and his success in holding down the tax rate and weaning the city off its financial control board.
He said neither mayoral challenger had logged enough experience to merit the party's support.
Howard and Mychajliw, meanwhile, gain an advantage as they head toward re-election campaigns this fall. Democrats will challenge Mychajliw with Lynn Szalkowski; Howard will face Bert Dunn or Richard Dobson following a Democratic primary in September.
The Conservative Party may also play a role in determining the future course of the Erie County Legislature after endorsing anti-headquarters Democrat Richard A. Zydel in District 7 for the seat now held by Democrat Thomas J. Mazur of Cheektowaga, who Lorigo said did not apply for the Conservative endorsement.
In District 8, the party is backing Republican Ted Morton for a seat being vacated by Democrat Terrence D. McCracken of Lancaster in a contest that GOP leaders hope could help swing the Legislature back to them.
Other legislative choices include the following incumbents: Republican Kevin R. Hardwick of the City of Tonawanda in District 4, Democrat Thomas A. Loughran of Amherst in District 5, Republican Edward A. Rath III of Amherst in District 6, Independence Party member Lynne M. Dixon of Hamburg in District 9, Conservative Joseph C. Lorigo of West Seneca in District 10 and Republican John J. Mills of Orchard Park in District 11.
The chairman noted that Democratic Legislator Lynn M. Marinelli of the Town of Tonawanda, a longtime Conservative candidate, did not apply this year in District 3.
The party backed Democrat Mary Carney and Republican Deanne Tripi for Family Court, and Democrats Debra L. Givens and Kevin J. Keane for Buffalo City Court.

Divide and Conquer Never Goes Out of Style
Malcolm Gladwell's piece in The New Yorker, "Small Change: Why the revolution will not be tweeted," stayed with me long after I put the carefully folded pages scribbled with my musings into the read pile on my floor. The piece deserves greater attention, meditation, rumination, which I intend to do in future blogs but for today's blog, I want to explore his take on divide and conquer. Gladwell explores the difference between strong and weak ties in organizing and it is something that should be of the upmost importance to our readers. Decisions on organization, process, and the tools reformers engage to reach their ends are critical. "The medium, after all, is the message" - Marshall McLuhan. But it could also be that the medium signals something about the thoughtfulness of organizers and the level of commitment of participants.

Rising Up and Speaking Out About HIV and Hepatitis C
Kevin Maloney
Random things about me: I am kind, caring, respectful and wanting to make a difference/impact in the World. I've been to Australia, New Zealand and 13 countries in Europe, and have traveled and lived all over the United States. I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Services Management and will be working towards my Master's In Public Health. I am an uncle of two of the MOST adorable girls in the World, and have one brother. I am a Momma's boy, and it is hard to see my mother's health in such a deteriorated state -- she has severe COPD (from 40 years of smoking). In March 2010 I was told that I have HIV and a month later, with follow-up labs, was then told I also acquired hepatitis C (not through IV drug use). I aspire to great things. Stay tuned.

Microsoft keeps on keeping on with the fine tuning of their Facebook Beta app. It was just 8 days ago that an update to version 18.104.22.168 came out, and already version 126.96.36.199 has made its way to the Windows Phone Store. The lack of change log likely means that this is a mishmash of bug fixes and performance improvements, but hey, we'll take it.
Facebook Beta for Windows Phone 8 is an impressive app, especially considering what it is replacing. If you notice any specific fixes or changes in this latest version, don't be shy, and let us know in the comments section below.

Sugar cane and sugar beet growers have filed an amended complaint in federal court charging that corporate members of the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) - makers of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) - are behind a "conspiracy" deliberately designed to "deceive the public."
Specifically, the amended complaint, filed late Friday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, alleges that senior executives of agribusiness conglomerates, including Archer-Daniels-Midland, Cargill and others "organize[d] collectively in order to dominate and ... control" the ongoing marketing campaign to rename HFCS as "corn sugar." Their national advertising campaign also claims that HFCS is a "natural" product equivalent to real sugar from cane and beet plants. The sugar farmers argue that those claims are untrue.
Last month, a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that a coalition of American sugar farmers and producers had provided sufficient evidence about the HFCS advertising campaign by the CRA to demonstrate "a reasonable probability of success" in proving that its key claims are false.
The amended complaint charges that the CRA member companies, under the guise of the CRA, provided "the funding that has been required to orchestrate and maintain this significant, broad-based, national media, multi-million dollar advertising campaign."
The lawsuit argues the CRA and several of its members, including Archer-Daniels-Midland, Cargill, Corn Products International, Roquette America and Tate & Lyle Ingredients America, conspired to engage in false advertising as part of their campaign.
The sugar farmers allege that the defendants have spent at least $50 million in a mass media rebranding campaign that misleads the consuming public by asserting falsely that HFCS is natural and is indistinguishable from the sugar extracted from sugar cane and sugar beets.
The HFCS manufacturers, through the CRA, have also asked the Food & Drug Administration to allow HFCS to be called "corn sugar" on food and beverage ingredient labels. That request was made last fall even though "corn sugar" has for many decades been the FDA-approved, commonly used name for dextrose, a distinct corn starch product that contains no fructose.
A recent consumer survey commissioned by the sugar farmers shows that changing the name of HFCS to "corn sugar" would further confuse consumers and interfere with their attempts to avoid HFCS when shopping for themselves and their families. Increasingly, consumers have sought to avoid products containing HFCS because of a wide range of health concerns.
"Let's be clear about what is at stake here. This litigation is about false advertising funded by CRA's biggest members," said Adam Fox of Squire Sanders, lead attorney for the sugar growers. "Sugar cane and beet farmers want the defendants to stop their false and misleading statements that harm consumers, harm the makers of real sugar and harm any dialogue based on the truth. This lawsuit seeks to put an end to the intentional deception."

No one is denying your right to post, just wondering if you're honest about your claim that you don't care. Didn't you say you did a search on your name here if you've been away for a while? That's not really something a person who doesn't give a stuff would do.

by Marc Blackbird, Antioch University Los Angeles Student + Founder of U.R. Media.TV
Whenever you encounter one you feel like you were hit by a force of nature. They're mostly unusual outside-the-lines types, people who just have to do what they do because they couldn't do things any other way…
They are an amalgam, part artist, part philosopher, part master of the universe, and always believing that there is a new way to solve anything. They live to see the possibilities beyond the constraints of ideology or discipline. They are the entrepreneurs, the people who take big risks to build businesses.
When we think about entrepreneurs we usually think about guys like Henry Ford or Bill Gates — people who saw a deficiency in the marketplace and the next step in technology, so they built companies to take their vision to market and made themselves extremely wealthy. The same attributes that led Ford and Gates to build cars and operating systems are also leading to ventures that combine financial and social returns. These social entrepreneurs are more than just business people or do-gooders; they seek a triple bottom line of profits and people and planet. Making money while helping people and the planet is not a new idea, but the time has come to highlight those who have broken the molds of business person and charity organization and recombined them as social business ventures.
Enter the book The Power of Unreasonable People, How Social Entrepreneurs Create Markets That Change the World by John Elkington and Pamela Hartigan. Not only does this book highlight social entrepreneurs and the businesses they have started, it is also serves as a guide, giving the reader an understanding of emerging markets and their potential for profitable business while lifting the standard of living for some of the world's poorest people.
A great example of what the social entrepreneur can do is the story of KickStart in East Africa, where Nick Moon and Martin Fisher were looking to make small-scale profitable industries that could help the local population. What became a big seller and was identified as one of "ten inventions that will change the world" by Newsweek magazine was KickStart's foot-operated micro-irrigation pump. Now the authors could have told us just the numbers: it cost x to make and made x plus in profit and helped x farmers in the region. All important facts, but by telling the story of Samuel Ndungu Mburu, they take us right into the "on the ground" truth of what a social entrepreneur can accomplish. Samuel was a farmer who made about one hundred dollars a year from his crops. But after getting the micro-irrigation pump he started growing more valuable crops and now has sent his oldest son to college as well as having the rest of his children in school.
The Unreasonable Becomes Personal
This story inspired me more so then just the impressive facts. That is what a good book is supposed to do: give you the story but also deliver a feeling, and stories like this one throughout the book definitely gave me the real picture of what the social entrepreneur can paint in the world.
Starting a business is not for the fainthearted, and a business that has a mission beyond just profit with all those obstacles to entry is even more daunting. In fact it might be easier to juggle knives blindfolded, on one leg, while dodging killer bees. But by showing how it was done, the cases in the book transform some of the mystery into solid facts of good businesses, no bee dodging manual needed.
My big epiphany was to be true to your vision. Be flexible and willing but with the vision as a guide, and mostly be unreasonable. That doesn't mean be a horrible person or act out like a spoiled toddler. It means do whatever you have to make your business succeed, even if you have to change course do it, but make sure you arrive at your destination with integrity and intentions intact.
So I now feel like I have to do something even bigger then what I'm doing now. While I'm not helping third-world farmers yield more crops, I am trying to help stories get told. I started U.R. Media.TV to promote what I call "citizen media": media for us by us, where anyone can learn how to make effective media or share their expertise with the community. It's a new social network for ideas, journalism and art. It's YouTube meets Facebook meets blogs, where you can create original media or share your findings from around the web and store it all on your U.R. Media.TV channel. I hope you come and make U TV.
I'm a totally unreasonable person in the best sense of the word, and now armed with real world insights on how to make real quantitative good happen, I'm hopefully much better equipped to be the change I want to see in the world.

California Department of Transportation
November 4, 2010
Headquarters - Sacramento
Matt Rocco
(916) 654-4020
State Allocates $141 Million to Upgrade
Transportation Infrastructure and Drive Economic Growth,
Adds One More
Project to Its Historic Design-Build Pilot Program
Sacramento – Today, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated $141 million to 39 projects statewide to improve the state's highways and bolster the economy. The allocations come from assorted state and federal transportation accounts. The CTC also approved a request by Caltrans and the Port of Long Beach to add the $951 million Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project in Los Angeles to California's design-build demonstration program.
"Today's announcement is another step in our commitment to rebuild California's aging infrastructure," said Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Investing in transportation is strengthening our economy and creating jobs when we need them most."
The Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project is the eighth design-build project authorized by the CTC under the landmark legislation (Senate Bill 4, SBX2 4) signed in 2009 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. This legislation provided for a pilot program for the design-build method of procurement by California's regional and state transportation agencies. SBX2 4 and subsequent legislation has given authority for up to 16 design-build transportation projects. Also, as part of the $141million, the CTC allocated $51 million for the State Route 180 Braided Ramps Project, which previously was approved for design-build and will construct new connector ramps on SR-180 between State Routes 41 and 168. Design-build combines both design and construction into one contract where the design firm and the construction contractor are a team, working together to design and construct phases of a project concurrently to expedite the construction process.
"We're putting people to work building better roads, transit, and bridges for California," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. "At the same time, we are providing a safe, efficient transportation system."
Highlights of today's allocations include:
Santa Clara - $18 million to resurface State Route 17 and install a median safety barrier to reduce collisions.
Los Angeles County - $12 million to construct safety improvements at 10 rail crossings along the Antelope Valley Line corridor.
Alameda County - $5 million to seismically retrofit the West Oakland Bay Area Rapid Transit Station.

Flu Cases Shorten Blood Supply in the Dakotas, Minnesota
ABERDEEN - The flu and other winter illnesses have led to a shortage of blood in parts of the Dakotas and Minnesota, and recent blizzard conditions have hindered efforts to collect more.
Molly Vetter, center manager of United Blood Services in Aberdeen, S.D., says a blizzard about a week ago cost the organization's six Dakotas offices about 300 units of blood.
She tells the Aberdeen American News that the problems are likely to continue. On Monday, a mobile unit that was supposed to go to Fullerton, N.D., was canceled because of the weather. Illnesses, especially the flu, have also hindered people from being able to donate.
United Blood needs about 500 donations a day to supply 93 hospitals in the Dakotas and part of Minnesota.

Ratings for "How I Met Your Mother" are rising in the run-up to its finale.
According to early numbers from Nielsen, the second-to-last episode of the CBS comedy series' ninth and final season scored 9.1-million viewers overall and a 3.4 among key 18-to-49-year-olds, up 17% from last week.
Monday's "How I Met Your Mother" featuring a big wedding and related panic attacks, was Monday night's second-highest-rated broadcast show in the 18-to-49 demographic, behind NBC's singing contest "The Voice."
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV
In the coveted age category, a ratings point equals about 1.3-million viewers.
The rest of CBS' lineup rose as well, with "2 Broke Girls," "Mom" and "Intelligence" all gaining a tenth of a point from last week. "Mike & Molly" rose two tenths of a point, or 11%, to a 2.0.
ABC was Monday night's most-watched network, but it couldn't touch NBC among 18-to-49-year-olds.
ABC's two-hour "Dancing With the Stars" scored Monday's biggest audience (14.3 million), after which the drama "Castle" hooked 9.8 million, making for an average of 12.8-million people watching the network in prime time.
In 18-to-49, "Dancing With the Stars" earned a rating of 2.2, down 15% week-to-week, while "Castle" was down 6% to a 1.7.
"The Voice" fell 12% from last week to a rating of 3.6 and James Spader's strong 10 p.m. drama "The Blacklist" rose 7% to a 2.9. NBC's average of 3.4 in the demo was more than 60% greater than ABC's 2.1.
Fox's "Bones" and "The Following" were both flat with last week at a 1.4 each.
On the CW, "Star Crossed" was steady at a 0.3 while "Tomorrow People," also garnering a 0.3, was down a tick from last week.

Guide to Geologic Hazards in Alaska
- Directed blast
- A directed blast is a laterally directed explosion of the volcano caused by rapid release of internal pressure. Most directed blasts are caused by a slope failure of newly erupted lava domes or sector collapse of the summit edifice into a debris avalanche, resulting in rapid depressurization of a shallow magma body. Directed blasts can destroy structures throughout a large radial zone extending 10 to 25 kilometers away from the source of the blast. http://doi.org/10.14509/7042" href="/pubs/id/7042">(RI 2004-3)

Senses of Thailand at Selfridges 14-30 July 2011
As mentioned in my Som Tam post, you can get yourself a taste of Thailand at Senses of Thailand, a celebration of Thai food and culture in Selfridges, London until 30th July.
The promotion is backed by the Royal Thai Embassy, Thai Trade Centre, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, so it's got an official seal of approval, and over the fortnight, we've been told to expect expert cooking demos, tastings, modern and traditional Thai dance performances and puppet shows.
More excitingly as far as I'm concerned are the Thai street food carts which are selling authentic snacks, including Som Tam (the free samples they were giving out weren't quite spicy enough for my liking), and Mieng Kham from the restaurant Patara.
Mieng kham are fantasticly addictive wrapped betel leaves stuffed with nuts, dried shrimp, chillis and shallots - my video above shows how they are made. Again, they're giving out free samples as well as selling do-it-yourself takeaway packs, so do try to catch this rare treat.
A huge range of Thai snacks, sweets, drinks, fruit and veg and grocery products are on sale during the promotion with lots of free samples and tastings on offer.
I was pleased to see that they have green papaya (aka paw paw) and green mango in stock, so you've no excuse not to make my som tam salad now ...
There's even a rice boutique, with a variety of aged and flavoured rice, including GABA rice, a super food made up of 4 varieties of sprouted brown/unhusked rice, and blue rice which has been naturally coloured with butterfly pea flowers.
There's also a Thai Square cart selling traditional Thai desserts such as mango and sticky rice, and durian ice cream, as well as the slightly more bizarre green curry and red curry ice cream, which aren't as frightening as they sound, and the truly delicious Ice Tea and Green Tea ice creams.
You can ask for free tastes of all of the flavours before you plunge in.
There's a tropical fruit stand and juice bar selling whole fruits and also making smoothies using Thai fruits such as Mango, Dragon Fruit, Bael, Rosella and Mangosteen, and I even spotted an expert fruit carver showing off his skills as well.
The Oyster & Seafood Bar in the Food Hall itself has a guest menu from Nahm designed by head chef Matthew Albert.
I was invited to try the Nahm menu as a guest of Andre Dang Communications - I had an oyster with young ginger, chilli and kaffir lime which was dreamy, and an oyster with peanut, and green mango nahm jim which texturally didn't quite work for me (something about the crunch of peanuts against the delicate oyster flesh) but was still tasty.
I also had a taste of Nahm's trout, starfruit and corn pepper salad which was a fantastic mix of flavours. I especially liked the crispy fish skin - something I've always been a fan of.
And if you want to eat somewhere a bit more relaxed, renowned Thai Chef Pongtawat Ian Chalermkittichai has taken up temporary residence at Hix Restaurant and Champagne Bar on the ground floor, offering regional specialities and Thai inspired cocktails, and Singha Beer has a temporary bar in Gordons Café on the 1st floor where you can enjoy a traditional Thai snack menu, washed down with Singha or more Thai cocktails.
Senses of Thailand, 14-30 July, Selfridges, London

looks awesome; I am totally going at lunchtime. Though I tend to avoid Thai Square branches, I'm not sure I've ever had such bad 'Thai' food as I have done there.ReplyDelete
@Lizzie - Their tea ice creams are wicked though :)ReplyDelete
This looks amazing! I had no idea about it, but I really want to get down and check it out! I've been on a Thai food kick lately and have gone out for Thai 3 times in the last 8 days! I need to go to this!ReplyDelete
Wish I was down there! In honour of this post I'll make Thai green curry and a Thai green bean salad tonight (though we have son's French/Turkish girlfriend staying, who is wary of chilli-heat, so may have some adaptation to do ...). Thanks for the inspiration :)ReplyDelete
Thai food is my absolute favourite, I'm going to try and get there if I can! Thanks for making me aware of it's existence!ReplyDelete
@Made with Pink @Pistachio and RoseReplyDelete
It's well worth dropping by if you can! And cooking demos are on throughout the day so you should be able to catch one :)
@Nicky - Honoured that you're making Thai food in honour of this post x

Supercharge Your LAN With Condor, part 1
Installing Condor
Condor is a batch job queueing system, which runs across multiple machines. It takes jobs from users, queues them up, decides where and when to run them, and then returns the results to the user once done. It enables you to turn any group of machines into a cluster-like system -- setting up a distributed-processing network with whatever resources you have available. You can use it on pretty much any setup, including dedicated clusters, but arguably its best use is as software enabling you to treat your desktops as a part-time cluster. You can set rules so that jobs are only run on idle desktops -- making the most of unused CPU cycles and power resources, especially if your site has an always-on policy.
The basic workflow is that the user submits a job (a resource request) from a Condor client. The job can specify its resource requirements and preferences, as well as what should be run and where the output should be sent. The central Condor server then examines its database to find a client that matches the job requests. When an appropriate client comes up, the job is sent out, run, and the output sent back to the user. It has a checkpointing system which can handle pausing or cancelling jobs on-the-fly -- e.g. if a destkop comes back into use halfway through a job -- and resuming them if possible later.
The first part of this series deals with installing the Condor server and client; the second part will show how to go about submitting jobs and specifying resources.
Thinking about your setup
Condor can be downloaded from the Condor website. Before installation, you need to consider where the files will live.
You need to create a condor user on all machines running condor: this user will own the files created by the Condor daemons (although the daemons themselves run as root). Ideally, the home directory for this user would be centralised, to simplify admin -- for ease of explanation, I'll assume this setup here. (You can check the documentation for how to handle it if you want to have separate home directories on each client.) Don't edit the config file until you've unpacked and installed the software (see below) -- just decide what you intend to do.
Each machine that condor runs on (either server or client) needs to have its own spool, log, and execute directories. If you're using a centralised home directory, you can set the home directory and local directories up in the configuration file (condor_config) as
TILDE=/dir/condor LOCAL_DIR=$(TILDE)/hosts/$(HOSTNAME)
It's also a good idea to have that condor_config global configuration file on a shared directory -- that way you only ever have to edit it once! You also have a local configuration file for each machine, which can override global config options -- you can keep this in the LOCAL_DIR directory. You set this in the global configuration file:
LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE = $(LOCAL_DIR)/condor_config.local

Mumbai: Expressing her shock over her link up with TV actress Aashka Goradia in the 'Bigg Boss 6' house, model-actress Sana Khan says she is like her "elder sister". Now she admits being "nervous about people`s reaction" towards her after her stint on the reality show.
The 25-year-old spent 97 days in the 'Bigg Boss 6' house and said: "I am nervous about what people think of me now that I am out of the `Bigg Boss` house. But I do feel that I have become wiser by being in the show. You get to know the ups and downs in other people`s life. I think I have made four to five genuine friends in the show.
Talking about her link ups with inmates Aashka and Rajev Paul, a shocked Sana said: "I have been linked with a guy and a girl. I don`t know why! I am shocked at how people linked me with Aashka; she is like an elder sister to me."
"I don`t think we are modern if we need to tie a rakhi to someone just so that we can be friends? There were no feelings of love or anything between us," she added.
She was in the top three finalists of 'Bigg Boss 6' along with TV actress Urvashi Dholakia and image consultant Imam Siddique. The show ended Saturday with Urvashi winning it and taking home Rs.50 lakh.
"All the top three contestants were deserving. I am so glad Urvashi won. She is a single parent and has struggled so much in life," said Sana who has worked in Tamil films 'Aayiram Vilakku' and 'Payanam' as well as Telugu movie 'Kalyanram Kathi'.
The actress claims that she maintained her friendship with Delnaaz Irani, Rajev and Aashka and never changed herself for the sake of the game.
"Since the beginning, I was friends with Rajev, Aashka and Delnaaz. I didn`t shift according to the game... I feel this is why I am happier as I did everything from my heart," she said.
Superstar Salman Khan, anchor of the show, told Sana that they will work together in the future, and, commenting upon that, she said: "He just told me, but nothing is confirmed. But who will not want to work with him?"

Petra worked with the team at SEALadder to provide and educational overview and introduction to Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. It was great to have someone explain the difference and why both are important. She took us through our own implementation rather than a hypothetical setup and showed us how to set everything up, ensuring that we had a video recording of our meeting so we could refer to it again in the future, which we did. I'm looking forward to having another session in the future when we have more data and taking our analytics to the next level.

Utilising Web Data Analytics findings, we have made significant discoveries in user behaviours, and made recommendations based on the available data ensuring that our clients have a well-informed view on their customer's actions within the web environment. We have found insights from Web Data Analytics have influenced our recommendations in terms of channel spending, and also ways to increase customer conversion based on optimization efforts. I have found Petra easy to deal with and, importantly to us, this works in with our objectives to ensure our clients success.

I recently worked with Petra to improve my understanding of Google Tag Manager.
Petra not only provided a solid overview of GTM set up and event tracking, she also provided many tips on best practice, and answered the questions that I didn't even know to ask!
Petra is patient, fun to work with, and her analytical programming mind is hell bent on finding the BEST solution to any data, analytics or tracking problem.

This dashboard is sooo much easier to read than the Google Analytics one. I love that you explain what each table means underneath - super helpful. I definitely love visual rather than written info so the graphs are great - and make it much easier to see trends etc. Especially helpful to see where traffic is coming from and how it's converting so I can see where to focus my efforts.
Keneena Fanning Kablooie Store Basic Dashboard May 25, 2017
Petra helped me set up many aspects of Google Analytics, and I now feel confident in finding the information I need. It's definitely increased my understanding of my website audience and the data that comes out of it massively!

Rapist Bitti Mohanty, on the run for 6 years finally nabbed
On the run for six years after he was convicted of raping a 26-year-old German tourist in Rajasthan's Alwar district, Bittihotra 'Bitti' Mohanty, son of a former Odisha DGP, was arrested on Friday. HT reports. Bitti: story so far | The curious case of Bitti Mohantyindia Updated: Mar 10, 2013 09:19 IST
On the run for six years after he was convicted of raping a 26-year-old German tourist in Rajasthan's Alwar district, Bittihotra 'Bitti' Mohanty, son of a former Odisha DGP, was arrested Friday night in north Kerala's Kannur, a small city known for its beaches and political killings.
Bitti had jumped parole in November 2006 while serving a seven-year sentence in Jaipur, and the case had attracted frenzied media attention.
In these six years, the 31-year-old changed his identity — he took the name Raghav Raj — and appearance, forged dozens of certificates, did an MBA, got new friends and eventually a job with the public sector State Bank of Travancore (SBT).
He even came to be known as spiritually inclined, gentle and popular with women.
All was fine till an anonymous letter two days ago to the bank HQ in Thiruvananthapuram, with photos attached, blew his cover.
"The letter had social media clippings. We contacted the two references given by him but weren't satisfied. So, we alerted the branch and advised them to contact the police," a spokesman said.
According to the police, it was a different crime in another corner of the country that led to Bitti's cover being blown — the December 16 gang rape.
"In the wake of the Delhi gang rape, his photo was among the pictures of sex offenders shown by social media and TV channels repeatedly. Someone identified him and alerted the bank," a senior police officer said.
Happy with the big catch, police, however, are still baffled by how he managed to give them the slip all these years while living his life fully in the public eye.
After jumping parole - granted so that he could visit his ailing mother in Cuttack - Bitti lay low till 2009, when he joined an institute in Kannur for an MBA. Soon after, he took up a teaching job at the same place.
Later, he appeared for a banking recruitment exam in Andhra Pradesh and was appointed probationary officer at the SBT branch in June 2012.
"He took the name Raghav Raj. His records with the bank show he is a resident of Andhra Pradesh," Kannur SP Rahul S Nair told HT.
A local court on Saturday remanded Bitti to 14 days judicial custody. A Rajasthan Police team is on its way to Kerala with an arrest warrant and plan to move a transfer application on Monday.

Typical Clock Generation Scenario:The oscillator is external to the chip and produces a low frequency (10-50 MHz typical) clock which is used as a reference clock by the on-chip PLL to generate a high-frequency low-jitter clock (200-800 MHz typical). This PLL clock is then fed to a clock divider logic that generates the required clocks for the ASIC.
set_clock_transition:This specification applies only for ideal clocks and is disregarded once the clock trees are built.
set_clock_uncertainty:The uncertainty can be used to model various factors that can reduce the effective clock period.These factors can be the clock jitter and any other pessimism that one may want to include for timing analysis.Note that the clock uncertainty for setup effectively reduces the available clock period by the specified amount. For hold checks, the clock uncertainty for hold is used as an additional timing margin that needs to be satisfied.
set_clock_latency:There are two types of clock latencies: network latency and source latency. Network latency is the delay from the clock definition point (create_clock) to the clock pin of a flip-flop. Source latency, also called insertion delay, is the delay from the clock source to the clock definition point. Source latency could represent either on-chip or off-chip latency.The total clock latency at the clock pin of a flip-flop is the sum of the source and network latencies.The network latency is an estimate of the delay of the clock tree prior to clock tree synthesis.
create_generated_clock:A generated clock is a clock derived from a master clock. A master clock is a clock defined using the create_clock specification.For example, if there is a divide-by-3 circuitry for a clock, one would define a generated clock definition at the output of this circuitry.This definition is needed as STA does not know that the clock period has changed at the output of the divide-by logic, and more importantly what the new clock period is. Defining the new clock as a generated clock does not create a new clock domain, and the generated clock is considered
to be in phase with its master clock. In generated clocks source latency is already taken care with master clocks.
Different Timing terminologies
Synthesis, timing closure, fixing setup & hold, constraints related questions can be asked here.

Bremelanotide (Template:Pron-en) (formerly PT-141) is a compound under drug development by Palatin Technologies as a treatment for hemorrhagic shock and reperfusion injury. It functions by activating the melanocortin receptors MC1R and MC4R, to modulate inflammation and limiting ischemia.[1] It was originally developed for use in treating sexual dysfunction but this application was discontinued in 2008, after concerns were raised over adverse side effects of increased blood pressure.
Originally, the peptide Melanotan II, that bremelanotide was developed from, was tested as a sunless tanning agent. In initial testing, Melanotan II did induce tanning but additionally caused sexual arousal and spontaneous erections as unexpected side effects in nine out of the ten original male volunteer test subjects.[2]
In studies, bremelanotide was shown to induce lordosis in an animal model[3] and was also effective in treating sexual dysfunction in both men (erectile dysfunction or impotence) and women (sexual arousal disorder). Unlike Viagra and other related medications, it does not act upon the vascular system, but directly increases sexual desire via the nervous system.[4]
A Phase III clinical trial was scheduled to begin in the first half of 2007, but was delayed until August 2007. On August 30, Palatin announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had expressed serious concerns regarding the risk/benefit ratio of bremelanotide with regards to the side effect of increased blood pressure. The FDA stated that they would consider alternate uses for bremelanotide, including as a treatment for individuals who do not respond to more established ED treatments. However, On May 13, 2008, Palatin Technologies announced it had "discontinued development of Bremelanotide for the treatment of male and female sexual dysfunction" while concurrently announcing plans to develop it as a treatment for hemorrhagic shock instead.[5] The company additionally announced intentions to focus its attention on another compound, PL-6983, that causes lower blood pressure in animal models.[6] Palatin has since re-initiated Bremelanotide studies for ED and FSD using a subcutaneous delivery method. On August 12, 2009, the company announced that in a double-blind study of 54 volunteers bremelanotide failed to evoke the hypertensive side effects seen with the nasal delivery system used in prior studies, concluding that "variability of uptake" inherent in intranasal administration of the drug resulted in "increases in blood pressure and gastrointestinal events...primarily related to high plasma levels in [only] a subset of patients" and that subcutaneous administration of the drug circumvented the potential for this side effect. It is now in discussions with the FDA to resume Human Phase 2 studies utilizing subcutaneous administration.[6]
Bremelanotide is a cyclic hepta-peptide lactam analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) that activates the melanocortin receptors MC3-R and MC4-R in the central nervous system. It has the amino acid sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-OH or cyclo-[Nle4, Asp5, D-Phe7, Lys10]alpha-MSH-(4-10). It is a metabolite of Melanotan II that lacks the C-terminal amide function.

After each pier is load tested, the entire weight of the structure is transferred onto the piers to lift and stabilize the structure.
If you have bowing or leaning walls, ECP helical tieback anchors are installed. These helical tiebacks are installed by drilling a small hole into the interior of the wall, then the tiebacks are screwed into the soil and anchors are installed into the interior wall applying tension to straighten the wall back to its original level. These tiebacks will strengthen the wall to keep it from bowing or leaning in the future. All of our contractors use ECP products, the best in the industry.

The call of the tame
Jack London was a sustainable farmer
In 1916, Jack London invited a friend to his ranch in California's Sonoma Valley: "Come to see what I am trying to do with the soil, and with hogs, and with beef-cattle, and dairy-cows, and draft-horses." Who knew that the adventurous, womanizing, hard-drinking public celebrity spent the last years of his short life building a humane "Pig Palace" for his livestock and pouring manure down a slope to avoid using chemicals?
London was best known then, as he is now, as a writer. But he wanted his legacy to be in land, not words. He wanted to "leave the land better for my having been," and so he pioneered what we would call today sustainable agriculture on Beauty Ranch, his 1,400-acre farm in Glen Ellen. The ranch, now home to the Jack London State Historic Park, shatters stereotypes.
By the time he settled at Glen Ellen in 1905, London was sick of writing, tired of editor's demands to churn out more adventure stories just like those that had made him famous. But writing was his meal ticket, the only way he had to earn money for soil and stone. So he pushed himself to write 1,000 words every day. "Do you realize that I devote two hours a day to writing and ten to farming?" he wrote in his journal. "My work on this land, and my message to America, go hand in hand."
He started small, buying 130 acres of land for $7,000 -- "130 acres of the most beautiful, primitive land to be found in California," London said. He built a barn and bought horses, a buggy, a cow, a plow, chickens and other livestock and equipment. He planted 65,000 eucalyptus trees and went after more acreage, gobbling up struggling ranches nearby.
And he kept cranking out prose, sloppy stories that do not compare to earlier masterpieces such as The Call of the Wild, the book that made him an instant literary celebrity. A friend said he "mortgaged his brain" for the ranch.
When he cleared 40 acres to raise hay, he discovered the land had been depleted by "old-fashioned methods of taking everything off and putting nothing back." London wanted to succeed where his predecessors had failed, seeing his work as part and parcel of his socialist politics: "In the solution of the great economic problems of the present age, I see a return to the soil."
In his obsessive way -- this is the man who, when he decided he wanted to spend time on a boat, taught himself sailing and navigation and crossed the Pacific -- London, who had never farmed before, taught himself everything he could about farming, reading agricultural manuals and scientific tomes. "I adopted the policy of taking nothing off the ranch," he said. He used techniques he had seen as a war correspondent in Korea: terracing, rotating crops and using natural fertilizer, "so that instead of one-tenth of one meager crop a year you can grow three rich crops a year."
He built the first concrete block silo in California and filled it with silage from his and neighboring ranches. He hired Italian stonemasons to build a barn for his horses as well as a manure pit to develop fertilizer.
In 1915, he built his "Pig Palace," a round structure with feed in the middle and stalls surrounding it. Each sow and her piglets had their own "apartment" with a sun porch in front, which served as their dining room, and an outside run in back. All the troughs were filled by opening a single valve, so one man could care for over 200 hogs. At first, nearby ranchers laughed, but the design later won awards and drew nationwide attention. Today, many of London's techniques are standard operating procedure.
London died in 1916 at the early age of 40, either by suicide or the side effects of alcoholism, no one is sure. By then, his ranch was one of the largest in Northern California. But either because he was so far ahead of his time -- or because he was a distracted drunkard who was often away on sailing adventures (despite his philosophical commitment to the place, he had a hard time keeping himself down on the farm) -- the ranch was an economic failure.
After London's death, his wife, Charmian, asked his fans to remember what London once called "The Ranch of Good Intentions." "Have any of you thought what is to become of the great thing he has started up here? ... I am begging you now, with all my heart, not to forget that he laid his hand upon the hills of California with the biggest writing of all his writing and imagination and wisdom …"
Today, if you visit the lovely Jack London State Historic Park, you can take a tour of London's enduring, fertile masterpiece. You can see the silo and the Piggery and walk down paths shaded by the thousands of trees he planted. All the buildings are crumbling a bit, and their stone remains recall European ruins from much earlier ages. But they endure. London's writing may still overshadow his ranch, but fortunately both legacies are open to the public.

May 29, 2013 Update: On May 28, 2013, I sent a letter to Royal Caribbean International's (RCI) President and CEO, Mr. Adam Goldstein, asking for information related to the P/V GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS. This letter was sent after RCI's GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS suffered a shipboard fire that occurred while at sea on May 27, 2013. Late yesterday afternoon, I received confirmation from Mr. Goldstein that he had received my letter. His confirmation included assurances that RCI would respond to the best of its abilities as it continues to assess the damage to the ship, cruise service interruptions, and guest compensation and logistics. My letter to Mr. Goldstein follows a similar letter I sent to Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) President and CEO, Mr. Gerry Cahill, following a shipboard (engine room) fire aboard the P/V CARNIVAL TRIUMPH. You can find information related to CCL's responses – namely, CCL's cancellation notices, guest compensation, and similar information – on the Commission's website under "News Alerts."

Office of Commissioner William P. Doyle

Washington, D.C. 20573
Re: P/V GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS
Mr. Adam M. Goldstein
President and Chief Executive Officer
Royal Caribbean International
1050 Caribbean Way
Miami, Florida 33132-2096
VIA: EMAIL to Mr. Adam Goldstein
Dear Mr. Goldstein:
I am a marine engineer and actively served as an officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine aboard most classes of deep sea vessels. I have worked in the maritime industry for over two decades. I am particularly sensitive to the dangers associated with any vessel working at sea. I thoroughly understand the dangers associated with a shipboard fire. With that background, I am extremely thankful that the current reports indicate that there was no loss of life or serious injury as a result of the fire aboard Royal Caribbean International's (RCI) P/V GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS. Indeed, the safety and security of the passengers and crew aboard the GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS are of the utmost importance.
Even so, I understand that the shipboard conditions were challenging, and I also understand that at least one pending cruise planned aboard the GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS has been cancelled. While I appreciate your need to have the vessel repaired and returned to service, I know that many of your passengers may have undertaken great expense and significant planning to embark on a cruise that has now been cancelled.
Further, current reports suggest you are making efforts to accommodate your passengers who were on the GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS during this event, but I have seen only a press release that loosely states RCI's plan of action. I have not seen a posted plan and process to make whole those passengers who endured the GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS' failures; that is, I have not seen an action plan that articulates how you intend to ensure that the passengers will be compensated for this failure. Additionally, I have not seen a posted action plan and process to make whole those passengers whose future cruises may be cancelled as a result of the GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS' fire. As of this letter, I understand that the Commission has received nothing from RCI that it may pass along to consumers.
Accordingly, I would like to know the following as soon as possible:
While I am cognizant that current reports indicate that no one was injured during this fire, I am nonetheless alarmed by shipboard failures. Notably, RCI and its GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS are not alone. In particular, Carnival Cruise Lines had three recent shipboard incidents that merit mentioning. The CARNIVAL TRIUMPH suffered a shipboard fire and loss of power that left her stranded at sea, requiring her to be towed to Mobile, Alabama. The CARNIVAL TRIUMPH's sister ships, CARNIVAL LEGEND and CARNIVAL DREAM, also suffered shipboard incidents that resulted in cancellations and modifications to cruise scheduling. As a marine engineer, these incidents have my attention; as a Commissioner, the cruise ship industry falls within the purview of the Federal Maritime Commission. Thus, I hope to learn more.
This is my direct email, and I welcome your direct response. While I recognize you are busy, I would appreciate a response from you as soon as possible on the consumer matters with respect to making passengers (present and future) whole and the requested contact information – within 24 hours. I would appreciate a response within five (5) days with respect to the information concerning vessel history, registry, documentation, investigative authorities, and jurisdiction. Please note that I have copied my Counsel, Mr. Eric Lee, on this correspondence, and I would appreciate your copying him on any reply.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Other Events this Week
During the ninth month of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the home of Montgomery minister and boycott activist Robert Graetz is bombed. A white West Virginian, Graetz pastored Trinity Lutheran Church, a black congregation. Graetz and his family were away from home when the dynamite blast occurred.
George C. Wallace is born in Clio. Four-time governor of Alabama, three-time candidate for U.S. president, George Wallace early in his career epitomized white resistance to Civil Rights demands in the 1960s. Almost killed by a would-be assassin in 1972, Wallace later recanted his segregationist views and was re-elected governor largely due to votes of African Americans.

Andrew Antonio
Class of 2012
Major/Minor: Business Management, Economics
Andrew Antonio now lives in Fort Collins, CO, and works for Hach Company as an associate product manager. He is part of our cadre of Washington Alumni Admissions Volunteers.
After graduation, Andrew started off his summer backpacking through Europe for two and a half weeks. In that span of time he visited Madrid, Barcelona, Ibiza, Rome, Prague, Berlin, Hannover, Amsterdam, and London.
After London, he met Prof. Joseph Prud'homme and 13 WC students for a two-week program on Religion, Politics, and Power at Oxford University, where they spent their time using Oxford's resources (including full access to the infamous Bodleian Library!) to develop and present individual research projects (his is entitled "How the Buddhist Tradition Deals With Capitalism, Consumerism, and Materialism: Implications for the Future of Sino-Buddhist Relations.").
"Washington College really shaped who I am today, especially my role as President of the Student Government Association. It was a great way to prove that you're a leader. That's what businesses look for: people who can think critically, problem solve, and be a leader," he says.
A business management major and economics minor, Andrew is a two-term SGA President. In addition to honing his skills in public speaking and team building, he's also made an impression on Washington College's alumni.
"The more involved you are, the more access you have to our alumni network," he explains. Helping students leverage those connections is one of the best things Washington College does. Alumni want to help and they know the caliber of our students."
In fact, Andrew landed two of his three summer internships with the help of alumni. Andrew first interned for Victory Marketing in Fort Myers, Florida, a start-up run by Andrew's brother Vinny Antonio '04, also a business management major. As a brand ambassador, Andrew worked a 20-city tour for Burt's Bees skin care products. "It was an invaluable experience, and Vinny was a pretty darn good boss!"
After his sophomore year, Andrew interned for iMany, a Philadelphia-based software company that serves the life sciences industry. As part of the re-branding team, Andrew helped transform the company's image and messaging.
In spring 2011, Andrew was accepted for an internship position at Hach in Loveland, Colorado. Hach is a subsidiary of Danaher, a Fortune 500 company run by H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., a 1985 graduate of Washington College and a member of the College's Board of Visitors and Governors. Hach manufactures analytical instruments and reagents for water quality testing and analysis.
After returning from a two-week International Business Experience course in China with Professor Terry Scout, Andrew moved to Colorado, where he enjoyed hiking and rock climbing in his free time.
"Interns are treated well at Hach," explains Andrew. "Instead of being assigned to a 'boss,' I was assigned to a sponsor, a mentor and a coach who were all expected to help me out. I worked for a business unit helping with project management, product development and positioning strategies. I was also asked to define potential markets and the 'voice of the customer' for turbidity products used in labs to measure the cloudiness and particles in liquids. We did qualitative and quantitative research; then I presented a report to management."
Back on campus this fall, Andrew will serve as VP of Marketing & Public Relations for Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), and as Vice President & Social Chair for Theta Chi.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A catchy political ad and a gotcha video have raised Republican hopes of capturing a U.S. Senate seat in Iowa, enhancing the party's chances of regaining control of the chamber.
Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat, is retiring after three decades, and Republicans are adding that seat to their list of winnable races in the November elections.
One reason is a commercial by a GOP hopeful that drew attention on the Internet: "I grew up on an Iowa farm castrating hogs, so when I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork," says state Sen. Joni Ernst. She concludes, with a smile, "Let's make 'em squeal."
Another reason is a gaffe, caught on video, by U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, a Democrat who wants a promotion to the Senate and has no opponent in the June 3 primary.
In the video, Braley tells an audience of Texas lawyers that attorneys like him are better suited for the Senate Judiciary Committee than "an Iowa farmer" like longtime Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa.
Braley apologized to Grassley after a conservative group released the video.
Neither the ad nor Braley's blunder makes the seat a sure thing for Republicans. Iowa hasn't elected a new GOP face to be a senator or governor in more than 30 years, and a Democrat has won five of the past six presidential elections in Iowa.
With the primary nearing, GOP voters are no closer to coalescing around a candidate to challenge Braley, a four-term congressman. If no GOP candidate gets more than 35 percent of the vote, the nominee will be selected at a potentially divisive state GOP convention.
"There is a greater sense of optimism than there would have been two weeks ago," former state Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn said. "The question that's yet to be resolved is whether Republicans can take advantage."
Republicans need to gain six seats to win control of the Senate. They have been targeting seven seats now held by Democrats, in states where Republican Mitt Romney defeated President Barack Obama in 2012: Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia.
Republicans began to see Iowa as promising territory after the emergence of only about of a minute's worth of video.
Late last month, the little-known Ernst, from rural southwest Iowa, released her first TV spot. It came with a minimal airtime purchase, but it went viral on the Internet, drawing attention from late-night TV hosts, and has been viewed a half-million times.
Ernst, like her rivals, has been trying to break through in the crowded field of lesser-known hopefuls who stepped up when well-known politicians such as U.S. Rep. Tom Latham and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds took a pass.
Two days after Ernst's ad appeared, a conservative political action committee released amateur video of Braley's comments in Texas that he would better represent lawyers than "a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law." He was referring to Grassley, the six-term senator who is in line to become Senate Judiciary Committee chairman if Republicans retake the Senate.
State and national Republicans pounced on Braley's unguarded comment. He later apologized to Grassley, who has won more than 60 percent of the vote every time he's run for re-election.
"The timing couldn't have been better for her," said Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican who is publicly neutral but often compliments Ernst. "I think she's doing a lot of the right things."
Besides Ernst, an Iraq war veteran, the GOP field includes former energy company CEO Mark Jacobs. He has run more than $350,000 in television advertising, vastly outpacing his opponents. One spot attacks Braley's comments about Grassley.
Jacobs brags about turning around Reliant Energy in Texas, but he lived outside Iowa for 30 years and contributed money to some Democrats during that time. He says an open mind, not ideological rigidity, helped him return Reliant to solvency.
"I learned how to bring people together to solve big problems like that," Jacobs told a dozen GOP activists over cookies and coffee in the Guthrie County courthouse last month. "And that's one of the things that's missing in Washington today."
Other candidates are former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker, radio host and college professor Sam Clovis and Des Moines area businessman Scott Schaben.
None of the GOP candidates has identified singularly with conservative evangelical Christians, a potent force in the Iowa GOP presidential caucuses, or with libertarian followers of former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
Paul's supporters took over leadership of the state GOP party structure in 2008, but recently have left.
Likewise, evangelical Christians have not had notched a major political victory since 2010, when they organized to defeat three state Supreme Court judges who voted for the unanimous decision allowing gay marriage in Iowa.
The primary is tugging at both Ann Trimble Ray's ideology and pragmatism.
Though the social conservative from western Iowa likes Ernst, "I'm not there yet. A lot of weight goes into this decision."
Braley announced his candidacy more than a year ago, shortly after Harkin's surprise declaration that he would not seek a sixth term. Braley has had the advantage of raising money without a Democratic opponent. He had $3.1 million in his campaign account at the end of March.
Still, without Harkin running, the seat was considered more competitive, although Braley had been viewed as the favorite.
Democrats remain optimistic. "We'll have to see how it affects Braley," Tad Devine, a Democratic strategist for presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2004, said of Braley's misstep. "People say things in campaigns and survive."

Police, City Use Ridiculous 'Cyberstalking' Claim To Try To Identify & Jail Creator Of Mocking Videos
from the police-state? deptAn anonymous reader points us to the absolutely crazy goings on in Renton, Washington, where the police and city prosecutor are seeking jailtime for an anonymous person (or people) who created some Xtranormal videos mocking the Renton police force. Most of the news reports on this story keep calling whoever did this a "cartoonist," but all they really did was use Xtranormal -- a popular tool that wev'e used ourselves -- to create simple animated videos by typing in a script. You can see one of the videos embedded below (assuming it stays up):
And then, it tries to claim that the whole thing is "cyberstalking." Why? Because apparently some of the people the video is mocking say they're embarrassed about the videos. That seems to be the extent of the cyberstalking. As you read the filing, though, the details of the warrant appear to suggest that many of the references in the videos refer to actual events.
It's extremely difficult to see how anything here raises to the level of cyberstalking. KIROTV asked lawyer Venkat Balasubramani (whose blog posts we regularly link to here) his opinion on the search warrrant, and he noted that:
"The cyberstalking angle doesn't pass the laugh test," Balasubramani told KIRO-TV. "It's a serious stretch and I'd be surprised if somebody looked at it and realistically thought these acts actually fit the statute and we could make somebody criminally liable."In fact, from the warrant, it looks like Google just handed over the info upon receipt of the subpoena, without questioning it at all. The city was then trying to get more info from Google about the gmail address that "mrfuddlesticks" was using, in an effort to identify the person.
When we asked about the more likely scenario, Balasubramani said, "I think they were trying to get at the speaker and they looked around for a statute that shoehorned their conduct into and sent that to Google and said 'turn over the information."
Historically, Google and You-Tube are far more likely to cough up an anonymous animator's real name when there's a criminal case, as opposed to just an internal affairs investigation into some personnel issues.
This seems like a pretty broad overreach. The prosecutor appears to be taking a exceptionally broad interpretation of the cyberstalking law, saying that anything done "with intent to harass... torment, or embarass" is criminal. As Eugene Volokh has pointed out, if the law really allows for such an interpretation, then the law is "clearly unconstitutionally overbroad." Furthermore he notes:
Moreover, the statute would be clearly unconstitutional as applied to this video, and the prosecutor and the judge ought to know this. (The prosecutor is Renton Chief Prosecutor Shawn Arthur; the judge on an earlier warrant was James Cayce, but I don't know what the affidavit said there, and I don't know the name of the judge who apparently issued the warrant based on the affidavit included with the KIRO story.) A search warrant can only be issued if there is probable cause to believe that it will uncover evidence of a crime; since the material described in the affidavit can't be made criminal under the cited statute, given the First Amendment, the warrant ought not have been issued. The government is not permitted to use its coercive power to identify the author of this constitutionally protected video.This whole thing raises tremendous abuse of power and First Amendment questions. It seems that their entire intent is to try to identify someone who is mocking them publicly by abusing certain laws and procedures to reveal that anonymous parodist.
