Reiach and Hall's Dundee House proves that new civic buildings can be daring and retain a stately sense of the past, writes Miles Glendinning
One of the most persistent themes in the history of modern architecture has been the distrust of conventionally monumental, formal solutions for large public buildings. There have been many prominent exceptions, one only needs to think of the Lincoln Center in New York, but on the whole, anything that smacks of 'classical formality' is looked on with suspicion.
This poses a special challenge for national and civic government complexes, a type of building bound up with the traditional and stately. Generations of modern architects have struggled to arrive at an approach that is both flexible and socially embedded, yet still conveys an element of monumental symbolism, whether through open-planned layouts of towers and slabs in the 1960s or the more individualistic, metaphor-laden approaches of the 'iconic' era.
Reiach and Hall's new Dundee House, the municipal administrative centre of Scotland's fourth largest city, represents a new phase in the search for a modern civic architecture, a phase that rejects the meretricious egotism of 'signature design' and strives instead to achieve a sense of restrained urban decorum.
Complementing a nearby interwar Beaux-Arts classical complex (City Square) which houses the council's ceremonial and legislative functions, the new building replaces a redundant postwar office tower, Tayside House, whose standalone setting on the largely undeveloped riverfront was no longer appropriate. A solution that fitted much more closely into the city fabric was required.
The easiest way of doing this was by combining urban relocation and contextualism through an 'intervention' slotted into a city centre regeneration gap-site and integrated with existing, usually redundant, historic structures.
This is not a new formula, and, as a stock-in-trade of starchitects in the 1990s, frequently led to disaster. Historic monuments were embedded, trophy-style, into showy confections such as Enric Miralles' Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. Indeed, some of the other competition entrants for the Dundee site proposed gestural towers, pods or blobs. But Reiach and Hall, a longstanding Scottish practice firmly rooted in 1960s Modernism, has put a very different slant on this theme.
The rather constrained focus of the site, wedged just north of the Overgate Centre, is a four-storey listed industrial building constructed in two stages from 1910 and used successively as a machine-manufacturing factory for the jute industry and a D C Thomson printing works.
It is a structure that embodies the spirit of urban accretion and civic memory. The integrity of Reiach and Hall's approach to the existing heritage is shown by the way it is made the leitmotiv of the whole development and not tacked on, gazebo-style, as with Queensberry House in Miralles' parliament. Austerely classical in its rows of tripartite windows and tall arches, it is transformed and ennobled into an 'civic loggia'.
Rather than hollowed out into a shell, its linear plan is projected backwards through the depth of the building, into a complex north-south circulation and service core, which anchors the building in massive, in-situ concrete. Finally, an array of three open-plan office spurs, arranged in a slightly splayed form admits light and views over the city.
To emphasise that the industrial building has been incorporated as a whole, the rear external brick wall extends its aura over the entire building, not only exposed as the main interior wall of the circulation space, but echoed in the external brick facing of the office towers to the west.
The architects' philosophy of combining modernity with conservative repair has a Ruskinian outlook that has, since the 1964 Venice Charter, constituted the accepted international norm for re-using old buildings.
The plan-form of the building exploits the linear layout with a cruciform circulation plan at ground-floor level and a pedestrian route zigzagging across from the loggia. Most of this is left open as a two-storey civic space with two additional floors of offices and a glazed, meeting room floor above. The intersection of the transverse route and the linear spine is marked by a multi-purpose, robustly-furnished public enquiry space, horribly titled One Stop Shop (apparently dictated by national precedent).
In previous projects, Reiach and Hall had developed this linear-plan theme, most notably at Stobhill Hospital (AJ 29.06.09), where the need for public access dictated an open, airy spine traversed by bridges and balconies. In Dundee, as the six upper floors are entirely occupied by council departments, the spine takes on a more private, enclosed form, not dissimilar to the firm's 2003 Westport office development in Edinburgh.
An intricate web of corridors, light wells and glimpsed views dissolve gradually from dark intensity to panoramic lightness as one ascends through the building. The office spaces, subdivided and articulated by the massive spine walls and the west facade 'tower' incisions, also aid this framework of shifting views. Although the building accommodates a staff of almost 1,000, the structured plan ensures there are no vast corporate spaces.
Although the building, with its low-tech displacement ventilation system that pushes air up from service void floors and out through the two light-wells, fully acknowledges the carbon-reduction agenda, the architects rejected simplistic energy-led formulae as panaceas for good architecture. They insisted on the need to convey a sense of longevity and psychological sustainability.
The building embodies a loose-fit generosity of scale and uses a limited palette of enduring materials: oak, brick, stone, glass, concrete. Internally, the dominance of the rough brick of the retained building heightens this sense of permanence. In a 1960s public building, the 'noble' materials alone might have been sufficient to create a feeling of appropriate decorum.
Today, for good or bad, something more poetically individual is demanded. Thus the building is dotted with small artistic fragments by Gareth Fisher cast into the concrete walling slabs, as well as splashes of coloured internal walling.
Externally, the challenge is to integrate the seven-storey western office block and spine with the lower listed building to the east. This could have been an awkward juxtaposition, with a tall glazed wall rearing up behind the preserved facade, but in this case the junction is handled with unobtrusive restraint. Again, Reiach and Hall's linear-spine concept is carried forward, avoiding the awkward front-rear disparity seen at Stobhill.
On the east side, a set-back, gold-tinted glazed attic block manages the transition from low front to high back. To the west, the strong forms of the three splayed office towers are faced with a gridded pattern of light pink Danish brick piers and precast concrete slabs.
Exploiting a plant-room floor at the top of the building, these grids are surmounted by a double-height 'order' of taller piers, somewhat classical in appearance and recalling the restrained rationalism of mid-century Danish and Swedish Modernism. The three towers are subtly differentiated, with the left-hand northern block emphasised by rotated piers that have a more autonomously monumental presence, intended to command a yet-to-be-formed civic square and extension of the Overgate Centre.
How does this carefully conceived project fit into the shifting landscape of contemporary architecture, both in Scotland and further afield? Does it make a distinctive contribution to today's general movement against iconic egotism, and the corresponding search for greater integrity and decorum? We should bear in mind that the Reiach and Hall practice is a direct descendant, or survivor, of the original Modernism of the postwar years of social reconstruction.
The Modernist source from which they sprang was not the 'late Modernism' that anticipated iconic individualism and a reliance on poetic solutions. It was the earlier form of Modernism from the 1950s and 1960s, shaped by socially-integrated precedents of early post-war Scandinavia. It was a phase of Modernism that took for granted a decorous balance of monumental public buildings, background architecture, and buildings of intermediate character – like Dundee House.
Reiach and Hall continued building in this way throughout, and despite the showy Postmodern and neo-Modernist years, they are still doing so today through the work of a new generation of designers led by Neil Gillespie.
The sense of integrity that pervades Reiach and Hall's Dundee complex is not just the expression of yet another fashion, a suspicion that lingers around the work of some London-based practitioners of the 'new sobriety'. It is an imprint in the genetic code of the practice. A sense of socially embedded decorum is not unique to Reiach and Hall but is shared by other contemporary Scottish firms such as Page\Park or Malcolm Fraser.
It is not too far-fetched to see this new, confident sense of social integrity within contemporary Scottish Modernism as the architectural expression of a growing gulf between Scotland and England in social policy, as the SNP government stands aside from Westminster's reckless assault on the welfare state south of the border.

No Croutons Required - The Winners for August and the Theme for September
The challenge for August was to come up with a soup or salad showcasing seasonal ingredients. No matter where you reside on this mighty globe, there are plenty of ideas to choose from and many that you will probably want to bookmark. We have two winners this month and both of these salads make good use of seasonal offerings and look and sound fantastic. I'm not sure which one I will try first.
Janet's Peach and Hemp Salad with a Creamy Balsamic Hummus Dressing has me wanting dinner for breakfast. I can't resist the idea of a hummus dressing smothering all the goodness on this platter.
Tahini certainly was a popular ingredient this month. Our other winner is Brittany who made us this lovely Tahini-Dressed Zucchini and Green Bean Salad. Not only is it pretty, it's certainly good for you too. Maybe I'll have this one for breakfast. So hard to choose.
Congratulations ladies.
I will be hosting the September 2013 edition of No Croutons Required. After some thought, I have decided to go with mushrooms. We have featured mushrooms in the past for this long running event, but both Jac and I adore various varieties of shrooms so much, I figured we would shout out for more mushroom recipes - you never can have enough ideas. September also happens to be National Mushroom month in the US. As every month, and every week for that matter, is an excuse to celebrate mushrooms in my kitchen, this food month only just serves as a springboard for culinary ideas and inspiration for those of you who wish to take up the challenge.
All you need to do to participate is come up with a soup or salad that showcases the earthy goodness of mushrooms of any variety, post about it on your blog, mentioning I am the host this month with a link to this announcement, and submit your recipe via the linky tool at the end of this post by the 20th of the month. Please note that only one entry per blogger will be accepted and it must be vegetarian friendly. We look forward to your delicious creations.

Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling more than 89,000 Escape SUVs and Fusion sedans made in 2013 because of a potential for the engine to become overheated and possibly even catch on fire.
Continue Reading Below
Separately, Ford said new-vehicle sales in the U.S. increased by 6.5% last month from a year earlier, helped in part by stronger demand for smaller cars.
The safety pullback, the third related to the 2013 Escape due to engine-related fire risks, affects cars with 1.6 liter engines sold in the U.S. and Canada, the company announced Friday. Those same models with different engine types are unaffected.
Ford issued the recall after receiving reports regarding 2013 Fusion and Escape engine fires, though the Detroit automaker said it is unaware of any injuries.
As Ford works to figure out the cause, it is encouraging car owners to contact their local Ford dealer immediately to arrange for a free loaner car. Repair procedures are not currently available, the company said.
"It is important that affected customers not ignore this recall and contact their dealer as soon as possible," Ford's Automotive Safety Office director Steve Kenner said in a statement. "We have identified an issue and are taking actions in the best interest of our customers."
The company estimates that 73,320 Escapes and 15,833 Fusions are impacted by the recall.

It seems like growth hacking is the latest marketing buzzword.
And for good reason. It's the mindset and methodology that's been used by famous Silicon Valley startups to achieve phenomenal growth.
But now growth hacking is something marketers everywhere are attempting to understand and use to grow their own businesses.
So what exactly is growth hacking?
It's still a new term for many and it can be easily confused with traditional marketing.
But there are a few key differences that set growth hacking apart from traditional marketing efforts and understanding how to adopt a growth hacking mindset could help you uncover new opportunities to drive more traffic, sales and most importantly, repeat customers to your business.
But before we dive into how to do that, let's take a step back and establish a working definition of what growth hacking really is.
Growth Hacking: A Definition
Growth hacking is all about finding creative and clever ways to use your product, or other technology and content, to get more users or customers - all with the goal of achieving sustainable growth.
Typically, growth hacking strategies are inspired by data and analytics. Creativity is required to figure out how to use that data to get more customers.
In other words, coming up with 'growth hacks'.
To help clarify this concept, here are a few definitions from some smart folks around the web:
A growth hacker is a person whose true north is growth. Everything they do is scrutinized by its potential impact on scalable growth. - Sean Ellis (Tweet This)
Growth hacking isn't the best term, but it describes a new process for acquiring and engaging users combining traditional marketing and analytical skills with product development skills. - Josh Elman
Growth hackers utilize analytical thinking, product engineering and creativity to significantly increase their company's core metric(s). - Gagan Biyani
A growth hacker finds a strategy within the parameters of a scalable and repeatable method for growth, driven by product and inspired by data. - Aaron Ginn
It's the idea that an entrepreneur can take a clever or non-traditional approach to increasing the growth rate/adoption of his or her product by "hacking" something together specifically for growth purposes. - Andy Johns
Growth hacking is just: GET USERS! - Gary Vaynerchuk
Traditionally growth hacking has been applied to software startups and online services as a way to help them get more users. But there's no reason a growth hacking mindset can't be adapted to ecommerce to help drive more sales for your online store.
Here are three questions to help guide your ecommerce growth hacking strategy and get your creative juices flowing.
How Can You Use Your Online Store as a Primary Means of Distributing Your Online Store?
While this might sound a little confusing, what we're really asking here is how can you create ways for your online store to automatically drive new traffic to itself?
In other words, you want to look for opportunities to bake distribution into your website, the purchase process and your products themselves.
A classic example of a company who has done this brilliantly is Dropbox. To help them with their growth strategy they brought on Sean Ellis (quoted above).
Sean knew he needed to get Dropbox more users and he did that by incentivizing people to share the service with their friends and followers in exchange for extra free storage.
The result was rapid growth that built on itself as more and more people use the service.
So, how can you do something similar with your ecommerce website?
Try and think of every interaction point someone has with your business and ask yourself if there's a way you can insert a distribution mechanism.
For example, you could add a link in your order receipts and confirmation emails that takes customers to a page on your website that offers an incentive if they share your store with their friends and followers. That incentive could be a discount code or a free gift with their next purchase.
Services like Pay With a Tweet will allow you add a 'viral share' button that blocks access to the incentive until the user shares your store (or product) with their Twitter followers or Facebook friends.
Another option is adding distribution mechanisms to your actual products themselves. For example, when you order a pack of business cards from Moo, they include a little 'pass it on' card that you can give to a friend so they can get a discount on their first order.
They also include a word game to make the distribution card more interesting and sticky.
Baking these distribution incentives into the shopping experience could lead to more traffic and sales for your store if done right.
Where Are Your Potential Customers Congregating and How Can You Reach Them There?
Whether it's online or offline, right now there's someplace that your potential customers are gathering.
Figuring out a way to tap into these places with technology or by other means could allow you to drive a ton of traffic to your store.
In fact, AirBnB got their first major traction using this exact growth hacking strategy. They created their own software that automatically cross-posted new AirBnB listings to Craigslist. The Craigslist posts all contained links back to the original posts on AirBnB.
By going to where their target market was congregating, AirBnB was able to drive loads of traffic to their site and get the word out about their service to potential users.
How can you adapt this tactic to your business?
Think about where your potential customers are currently gathering online. Then try and think of creative (and ideally automated) ways to reach them there.
More advanced (and grey hat) approaches like creating email scrapers and auto-posting software may require coding skills that the average online store owner probably doesn't have. But if you're comfortable with the ethics of these types of strategies you can always use services like oDesk to find someone to create relatively cheap hacks and scripts for you.
But if that's not your cup of tea, don't worry. There are plenty of other creative ways you can tap into places where your target market hangs out.
Dodocase is a company that makes beautiful iPad cases and they are a great example of an online store that used this approach - even before they were ready to launch their product.
When the first edition iPad came out, they hired street teams via Craigslist to handout postcards with individual coupon codes to people waiting in line at Apple stores in major cities. Here's an excerpt explaining the strategy from and interview Dodocase founder Patrick Buckley gave on Mixergy:
We went on Craigslist and we found people in different cities to basically go out to Apple stores and hand these out. We gave everyone a code so we could track who sold what and we gave them a commission on whatever they could sell. So, they only got paid on what orders they could generate so there was very little risk for us. We were able to get college students and people who were just enthusiastic and energetic about a new Apple product. So they went out and they evangelized our product before we even had any product. We made basically two cases at that point. And that just snowballed, really. I think we spent about $500 on marketing and that's it.
What Free 'Attraction Strategy' Content or Technology Can You Create?
This strategy is all about creating high quality tools, resources and content that has independent value that gets people to visit your site and nudges them to buy your products in an under the radar way.
In other words, giving something away for free and selling something related.
Moz is a great example of a company who uses free tools as a way to attract people to their site and get exposure for their paid, premium SEO tools.
To use a previous example, AirBnB has done a great job of this with content by creating really compelling neighborhood guides in order to try and connect with people who are still in the research phase of their travel planning and maybe haven't decided where they are going to stay yet.
When it comes to ecommerce, Luxy Hair has marketed their hair extension products by creating high value video tutorials that offer hair styling tips. Their YouTube channel has amassed over one million subscribers and over 150 million total views.
What kind of resources can you create for your audience to attract people to your website and grow your business?
Connecting the Dots
When it comes down to it, applying a growth hacking mindset to your ecommerce store is all about being scrappy and creative. Start with your existing data, see what's working and what's not and try and figure out clever ways you can 'hack' growth.
And if you have any ideas or suggestions, or have already tried some of these strategies, please share in the comments.

'Drunk' man rants at Muslim family on Texas beach, gets arrested
Alexander Jennes Downing was arrested on May 3, 2017 and charged with public intoxication
Alexander Jennes Downing was arrested on May 3, 2017 and charged with public intoxication
A man arrested on South Padre Island last week was recorded in a viral video screaming obscenities and phrases like, "Donald Trump will stop you," to a Muslim family on the beach.
You can watch the video here. [Warning: Explicit Language]
Alexander Jennes Downing, who is from Connecticut, was arrested May 3 at The Pearl South Padre Island Resort and was charged with public intoxication. Police determined Downing "was intoxicated in a public place and was a danger to himself and others," reads the South Padre Island Police Department incident report.
A video posted to YouTube by Noria, whose family asked their last names not be used for safety reasons, reveals the moments before Downing was arrested. Downing appears in the video in the same neon green tank top seen in his booking photo. He approached Noria and her family and yelled multiple expletives at the family.
Downing was arrested May 3, 2017 on South Padre Island and was charged with public intoxication.

My eight year old was a super early reader, but legible handwriting has always been a challenge for her (And her mother, for that matter). So, last year, my daughter's second grade teacher recommended the Handwriting Without Tears workbook series for at-home handwriting practice.
The series was developed by occupational therapist Jan Olsen, so it is a great resource for kids with fine motor skill difficulties. There are workbooks from pre-kindergarten through grade five. The workbooks are simple and enjoyable. My daughter actually looks forward to practicing her handwriting now. Which is quite an improvement.

Microcosm Publishing
Microcosm Publishing is an independent publisher and distributor based out of Portland, OR and Bloomington, IN. They distribute zines, books, pamphlets, stickers, buttons, patches, t-shirts, films, and more. The focus is on publishing zines and books in the hopes that it will add credibility to zine writers and their ethics. Titles attempt to teach self-empowerment to disenfranchised people and to nurture their creative side. It began in 1996 with one person doing part-time mailorder out of a bedroom.
Beginning in 1996 with only Joe Biel doing part time mail order out of a bedroom in Cleveland, Ohio and hiring Alex Wrekk in 2003, the operation has grown significantly over the years and as of March of 2007, has moved its mailorder operation to Bloomington, Indiana. There is a particular focus towards images and artwork celebrating bicycles and radical politics. Many of the items offered are not available easily elsewhere on the web or otherwise.
Microcosm is heralded in the zine community as an entity that, for better or worse, has brought zines into a larger consciousness in the new millennium, after former mainstream interest has largely subsided. They are also responsible for many of the recent zine/book hybrid aesthetics and zines that have fancier covers or design aesthetics such as multiple color screenprints, letterpress, or offset printing.
Incorporating the tactics of early punk record labels and a very DIY approach, Microcosm uses tactics that are more guerilla styled for promoting their titles than most publishers of equal size. They rarely purchase advertising, and rely more heavily on the people who appreciate their craft independently passing out their catalogs in their respective towns.
Microcosm is sometimes equated as the "Wal Mart of Zines" due to the vast selection and customer service that it offers. Due to Wal Mart's poor human rights record and complete inability to build a decent public image for themselves - Microcosm would probably be more accurately called "The Target of Zines".
Microcosm offered custom buttons as a service from 1998-2006. Custom stickers were also offered from 2001-2006. Custom patches and t-shirt printing was also offered briefly in 2002-2003.
Microcosm Publishing was formerly a record label, and released records by Flotation Walls, Bedford, Organic, Cripple Kid, The Unknown, The Roswells, Little Dipper, Rock, Star.

About the Author: Virginia Shore serves as Chief Curator for ART in EMBASSIES.
This week, the permanent art exhibition for the Baghdad Chancery and New Office Annex was installed. ART in EMBASSIES selected and commissioned the work of twenty-five American, Iraqi-American, and Iraqi artists. Of note are the works of Alexis Rockman. Rockman was commissioned to create one painting, entitled "Mesopotamia" (oil on canvas, pictured above), and ten watercolors relating to the natural world of Iraq.
Next month, a retrospective of Alexis Rockman will open at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. For two decades, Alexis Rockman has been depicting the natural world with virtuosity and wit. He was one of the first contemporary artists to build his career around exploring environmental issues, from evolutionary biology and genetic engineering to deforestation and climate change.
Rockman has garnered attention for embracing these issues, as well as for the epic nature of his projects, including several monumentally-scaled canvases. His work expresses deep concerns about the world's fragile ecosystems and the tension between nature and culture, communicated through vivid, even apocalyptic, imagery. Rockman achieves his vision through a synthesis of fantasy and empirical fact, using sources as varied as natural history, botanical illustrations, museum dioramas, science fiction films, realist art traditions dating back to the Renaissance, and first-hand field study. The office of ART in EMBASSIES also commissioned Rockman to create a work for the New Embassy Compound in Antananarivo, Madagascar, based on his studies of lemurs that he conducted in that country with the Lemur Conservancy Group.

The planning phase is really just getting the major people together that will own part of the project work and planning how they will do it and what they will need to get it done. In the business world, these are the Subject Matter Experts. A project manager does not need to be an expert in everything, but the project manager does need to find those that are and get those Subject Matter Experts on their team.

text: Farm Bill a 'Ticking Time Bomb,' Senator Says August 1, 2013 10:01 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email It's increasingly likely that neither a five-year farm bill nor a farm bill extension will be approved this year thanks in large part to opposition from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), says Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) of the Senate Agriculture Committee. "This is a ticking time bomb here waiting to go off, and it makes no sense," Stabenow told reporters during a Thursday conference call. In particular, Cantor has "made it clear" that he does not want a farm bill, though House Speaker John Boehner appears to want to get it done, she says. Friday marks the final day of the session for both chambers of Congress before a five-week recess. While senators working on the legislation had hoped to go to conference committee on the farm bill immediately after the recess, Stabenow says, they now must wait to see what the House does with its nutrition title. Reuters has reported that House Republicans are prepared to propose $40 billion in cuts to food stamps, twice as much as had been sought earlier. Compounding the situation is the reality of the calendar: In September, the House is scheduled to be in session just nine days. "The clock is running, and it's running out on us in terms of a five-year comprehensive farm bill that will make sure that our farmers and ranchers have the risk-management tools that they need," Stabenow says. While she, other legislators and staff members will continue to meet informally about the farm bill, serious discussion won't be possible "until we have the full parameters in front of us." An extension is unlikely, she said, because the Senate already has voted twice to end direct payments. Those same payments were kept intact as part of the extension approved in 2012. "I'm being asked why, in the context of sequestration and deficits and debates about budgets, continue a subsidy that everyone believes should be eliminated? So this is going to be a very difficult discussion if we don't get this done." Assuming neither a new bill nor an extension is approved by Sept. 30, provisions of the 1949 farm bill would take effect, The Washington Post reports. Back to news

Rolling Stones Drummer Charlie Watts Delivers the A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie
The Rolling Stones' plans (or lack thereof) have been front and center lately, but while they've yet to do much of anything this year, that hasn't kept drummer Charlie Watts from keeping busy.
The musician has just released a new album from his other band, the A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie. The group just issued their 'Live in Paris' disc this past week.
The unique band moniker comes from the names of the band members, as Alex Zwingenberger, Ben Waters, and Dave Green join Watts in the project. The group formed in 2009 with a mutual love for boogie woogie music, and their new album comes from a 2010 performance at the Duc Des Lombards jazz club in Paris.
The set list includes a mixture of original tracks, standards, and improvisations on familiar favorites. 'Live in Paris' is out now and can be ordered here.
Watts is expected to join the Rolling Stones for their 50th Anniversary. There is some movement on the front as a new logo to commemorate the occasion was just revealed. There's also a book en route, and Keith Richards has been stating that studio sessions may be in the offing.
'Live in Paris' Track Listing:
1. 'Bonsoir Boogie'
2. 'Evolution Blues'
3. '(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66′
4. 'Somebody Changed the Lock on My Door'
5. 'Roll 'Em Pete'
6. 'Duc De Woogie Boogie'
7. 'Street Market Drag'
8. 'Struttin' at Sebastopol'
9. 'More Sympathy for the Drummer'
10. 'Blues Des Lombards'
11. 'Down the Road a Piece'
12. 'St. Louis Blues'
13. 'Low Down Dog'
14. 'Encore Stomp'

Ancelotti hails Beckham display
Paris St Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti reserved special praise for David Beckham after the former England captain played 85 minutes of Wednesday night's 2-0 Coupe de France victory over arch-rivals Marseille.
Beckham joined PSG in January and, having made his debut in a 15-minute cameo off the bench in Sunday's win over the same opposition, was handed his first start by Ancelotti in the last-16 tie. And the Italian was rewarded, Beckham impressing in a deep-lying midfield role as PSG eased through to a quarter-final clash with Evian thanks to two goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"Beckham played very well, as he usually does," said Ancelotti in L'Equipe. "His passing was good, as was his positioning, and he complemented (Blaise) Matuidi well in midfield. He showed he can play."
Beckham was pleased to have repaid Ancelotti's faith in him.
"I was just very happy to play tonight and to help set up goals for others," he said. "I had a slight hand in the second goal on Sunday and again here so I'm happy.
"I came here knowing that I wouldn't be in the team from the word go. We have a good team and I want to add something to it. If that means starting then great, and if it means being on the bench then great."
Beckham is expected to play a part in PSG's Champions League clash with Valencia next week - his first appearance in Europe's premier club competition since leaving Real Madrid in 2007 - and he is excited at the prospect.
"I played in some big games in the USA but you always miss being involved in big games like this in Europe," he added.
"It is a while since I played in the Champions League so I am excited. It is a big game for the club but it doesn't mean that it will be easy."
PSG go into the second leg of the last-16 tie with a 2-1 advantage but will be without the suspended Ibrahimovic following his red card at the Mestalla.

Industry-funded study of the week: chocolate milk for teenage athletes
After the debacle over Fifth Quarter Fresh that I wrote about in Unsavory Truth, you might think that sellers of chocolate milk would stop trying to prove it anything other than a sugary milk drink. But no, here's another one.
Chocolate Milk versus carbohydrate supplements in adolescent athletes: a field based study. Katelyn A. Born, Erin E. Dooley, P. Andy Cheshire, Lauren E. McGill, Jonathon M. Cosgrove, John L. Ivy and John B. Bartholomew. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2019) 16:6. Method: "Participants were randomly-assigned to receive either CM [chocolate milk] or CHO [carbohydrate] immediately post-exercise."
Conclusion: "CM had a more positive effect on strength development and should be considered an appropriate post-exercise recovery supplement for adolescents."
Funder: Dairy MAX ["nonprofit dairy council representing more than 900 dairy farm families across seven states"].
Comment: The premise of this study is that drinks containing a combination of carbohydrate and protein have been shown to provide better recovery from vigorous exercise tha...

Seaside Park and Pelican Island Residents to Begin Returning Home
The limited re-population of Seaside Park begins today.
According to the Borough Government website, the Governor signed off on a Phase III plan that will only allow homeowners, contractors and residents with a valid re-entry sticker or a entry work permit access.
Residents possessing these stickers will be granted 24 hour access. However, their movement will be restricted to their property and will only be permitted to travel to and from their residence.
Contractors, plumbers, electricians, adjusters and inspectors, will be allowed during curfew hours of 7AM and 4PM. They too will only be limited to the property or properties that are under construction and are only permitted to travel directly to and from those properties.
Borough officials say civilian pedestrian traffic is prohibited and unnecessary vehicular traffic will be prohibited as well.
Meanwhile, Toms River's Pelican Island residents are being allowed to move back home Thursday morning starting at 8 o'clock. According to the Township website Mayor Tom Keleher says all utility companies have finished their work making them the first section on the northern barrier island in the township to move back home earlier than anticipated.
Keleher says they're looking at getting the northern beach area residents home next.

How do A&T get eliminated?
How Ironic, Andy and Tommy won a couple of legs because other teams made mistakes. But in the end a mistake cost them the entire race.
I didn't know a lot about Panama Viejo...this makes me want to see more!http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/790/
Has anyone else seen the facebook pace? It's just like when the cowboys were eliminated.
I was wondering if the Tintin task was related to the Steven Spielburg movie that either has just or is about to be released. I was half-expecting a reference to the film (as TAR 9 did with the DaVinci Code).So I was surprised about the lack of mention. I will say the producers did manage to find an actor/model who could look just like Tintin, but I'm still not sure if it really had anything to do with Brussels or with Belgium. But that was a good middle-of-the-night task that slowed down the teams to a preferred flight to Panama (after the train) and gave Phil and Bert more time to get to Panama ahead of the teams.
Eh, another plug, same as Ford.

Lions defensive end Cliff Avril grew up near Jacksonville, and he's playing his first game in his hometown of his pro career today.
Where he calls home next year is very much up in the air.
The Lions kept him this year with the franchise tag of $10.6 million, after failing to agree on a long-term deal.
That's set up him for the jokes of teammates, who tease him about what he's worth.
"Not much right now," Avril said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. "I only got 4 1/2 sacks.
"I don't know. If I do what I want to do, I'm still young. … I really don't know. We'll see when that comes around. Like I said, I don't really think about it too much. Cliff is just trying to collect these checks now and get sacks."
Cliff needs to collect a few more sacks if Cliff wants to get paid the way Cliff thinks he deserves to be.
At 26 years old, Avril's still got plenty of potential player, even if his pace is off last year's 11.0 sacks. But the Lions might not be able to afford him, considering the big deals they've already signed and need to sign.
They offered him a three-year deal worth around $30 million, and he'll almost certainly do better than that on the open market.
"As coaches we always evaluate, is a player level, is a player declining, is a player ascending, and Cliff's definitely an ascending player," Lions defensive line coach Kris Kocurek said. "He's got a lot of big plays ahead of him."
For whom Cliff makes those plays remains to be seen.

From PostgreSQL wiki
Compute string soundex
Works with PostgreSQL
Tested on 9.0, 9.1. Probably works in earlier versions
Written in
Depends on
Soundex is a simple algorithm for comparing/normalizing English words based on phonetic similarity.
PostgreSQL 8.3 and later include a soundex(text) function in the fuzzystrmatch extension. Note that this function behaves differently from some other implementations, as it does not skip similar consonants that are separated by 'w' and 'h'.
PL/pgSQL version
If you can't install the fuzzystrmatch extension (due to limited privieges or other reasons), here is an alternative version in PL/pgSQL. This function behaves identically to the fuzzystrmatch implementation. (Tested on PostgreSQL 9.0 and 9.1, using dictionaries in many different languages).
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION soundex(INPUT text) RETURNS text IMMUTABLE STRICT COST 500 LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$ DECLARE soundex text = ''; CHAR text; symbol text; last_symbol text = ''; pos INT = 1; BEGIN WHILE LENGTH(soundex) < 4 LOOP CHAR = UPPER(substr(INPUT, pos, 1)); pos = pos + 1; CASE CHAR WHEN '' THEN -- End of input string IF soundex = '' THEN RETURN ''; ELSE RETURN rpad(soundex, 4, '0'); END IF; WHEN 'B', 'F', 'P', 'V' THEN symbol = '1'; WHEN 'C', 'G', 'J', 'K', 'Q', 'S', 'X', 'Z' THEN symbol = '2'; WHEN 'D', 'T' THEN symbol = '3'; WHEN 'L' THEN symbol = '4'; WHEN 'M', 'N' THEN symbol = '5'; WHEN 'R' THEN symbol = '6'; ELSE -- Not a consonant; no output, but next similar consonant will be re-recorded symbol = ''; END CASE; IF soundex = '' THEN -- First character; only accept strictly English ASCII characters IF CHAR ~>=~ 'A' AND CHAR ~<=~ 'Z' THEN soundex = CHAR; last_symbol = symbol; END IF; ELSIF last_symbol != symbol THEN soundex = soundex || symbol; last_symbol = symbol; END IF; END LOOP; RETURN soundex; END; $$;
db=# select column1, soundex(column1) from (values ('Robert'), ('Rupert'), ('Rubin'), ('Ashcroft')) data; column1 | soundex ----------+--------- Robert | R163 Rupert | R163 Rubin | R150 Ashcroft | A226 db=# create table words(word text); db=# copy words from '/usr/share/dict/words'; db=# create index on words(soundex(word)); db=# select * from words where soundex(word)=soundex('hotel'); word -------- hotel hotly huddle

I'm looking out my window at what feels, looks, and smells like a beautiful spring day. Warmer weather is already on its way to Walla Walla, despite the fact that February has just ended. (Hopefully I'm not jinxing anything.) The flowers that are starting to bloom outside of our office are a reminder of something else as well–the fact that it's been quite a while since we've relayed the inner workings of this office to our readers! What have we been doing? Well, we've been reading 2,700-odd applications coming from all corners of the country and all across the globe. I'll admit (and I'm sure that my colleagues would agree) that I'm pretty much ready for the next part of our cycle–the decision making, both on our end and yours–but it's worth noting that there hasn't been a single day that I've sat down in front of my computer, either in the office, on my couch, or at Patisserie (one of our local coffee shops) that I haven't enjoyed this part of the process. So far this reading season, applications have brought tears to my eyes (both from joy and sadness), they've inspired me, and more importantly, they are the first concrete glimpse of how wonderful our group of applicants is, and in turn, how fantastic the class of 2017 will be.
But while I've been reading, you guys have been waiting. I hesitate to mention this benchmark, but we're just a month away from releasing our decisions ("just a month" may not be a fair categorization–I'm sure for many of you that feels like a long time!). So, how does one wait efficiently? I'm not sure I have the answer. Maybe you've started knitting, or cooking, or volunteering; perhaps school work is still occupying much of your time (second semester senior year isn't always as easy as it sounds!); possibly, even, you've found a new passion. Regardless of how you've been spending the last few months or so, it's fair to assume that your accomplishments have also continued. You're still working on that awesome research project you mentioned in your essay; you're leading an athletic team to victory; you've remained committed as ever to your family responsibilities. This leads me to my next point, and it has to do with the light that's at the end of what probably feels like a very long tunnel. The unfortunate part of the college process is that it can involve bad news. What I ask all of you to consider closely as the days in March dwindle is that no bad news, coming from any institution, is a statement on your ability to be successful in the next four years. Remember this, and be confident in the abilities that you all have demonstrated to our office and other offices around the country. It will, as they say, all work out in the end!
And until then, enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd_rDkVQuKM

What if the entire community read the same book at the same time? Read and discuss Amy Waldman's The Submission with people of all walks of life.
Dear Kalamazoo,
I can't thank you enough for selecting The Submission for your Reading Together program, and even more, for the hospitality you showed me. It was wonderful to spend a couple days in a city that combines the warmth of a small town with the vibrancy of a cultural center.
And what readers! I almost fell over when I met a book club who had spent four hours discussing my novel, give or take a little time spent on the carrot cake. And who caught a tiny change I had made between the hardcover and paperback versions. When I spoke, the audience's energy was palpable and their questions stimulating. And seeing the student art inspired by The Submission and displayed at the library was among the most inspiring experiences I've had since publishing my book.
Both the community and the library staff have my admiration and gratitude for doing so much to support readers and writers. The ideas for programming for Reading Together were brilliant, and I wish I could have attended.
I'm working hard on my next book so I can get back to Kalamazoo...
All best
Amy Waldman
Anyone who has struggled with grief may share in the disconnected and disorienting place it can be. The death of a loved one or good friend whether it is impending and expected, or tragic and sudden, can bring emotions that seem impossible to navigate. This presentation looked at the variety of ways art may serve to navigate that experience and move through grief individually and as a community. The panelists wove a common thread through how art, whether a community memorial or a personal pencil sketch, may facilitate the grieving process. Death and dying is such a phenomena that human beings no matter how matured are left dumbfounded; art as an expression of grief acknowledges the loss. This may be the first step to acceptance and healing. Art has the ability to acknowledge and share the grieving experience. Studies have shown that communities where people feel connected and supported have higher qualities of life and health. Perhaps there is a correlation between those societies and communities who create memorials to commemorate and thereby acknowledge the grief experienced by those directly affected. In so doing the memorial, the sculpture, the painting, by acknowledging the life and death experienced we are creating greater connection and a deeper sense of community.
~ Norm Hamann Jr, Reading Together Steering Committee
Knowing that not everyone is affected by tragedy in the same way it was important for me to find a balance between sentiment and honor. I feel it's important for people to be able to mourn in their own time, openly if they need to, and for a community to acknowledge its history and its tragedies.
~ Brent Harris, sculptor, commissioned to create the Eric Zapata Memorial in honor of the Kalamazoo Public Safety officer shot and killed in the line of duty in 2011.
On Thursday evening, March 28, at 7 pm in the Van Deusen Room of the Kalamazoo Public Library, the Kalamazoo County Public Arts Commission will collaborate with Reading Together by presenting a panel of its past and present members to discuss how it is that public art could engender controversy.
All the internal discussions an individual might have with her/himself about a work of art—I like it, I hate it, I get it, I don't get it, my kindergartner could do it, it offends me, etc.—have the potential to be heightened when it's a work of public art. Here in Kalamazoo, classes are taught and conversations – formal and informal, are held on this subject. Who knew?!
And questions arise:
Big questions. The panel (speaking from the members' own perspectives rather than on behalf of the Public Arts Commission) won't be providing definitive answers. But it will delve into the questions, and provide some insights into those factors which influence the individual and community perceptions of public art. The moderator will be Sarah Lindley, a practicing visual artist and Associate Professor of Art and Department Chair at Kalamazoo College. She discusses these issues in her classes at K College.
The panel is composed of:
I hope you'll be able to join us.

This study says intelligence breeds trust
A new study out of Oxford University indicates intelligent people are more likely to trust others, while those with lower scores on intelligence scales aren't as trusting.sex and relationships Updated: Mar 19, 2014 19:30 IST
A new study out of Oxford University indicates intelligent people are more likely to trust others, while those with lower scores on intelligence scales aren't as trusting.
Researchers based findings on an analysis of the General Social Survey, a nationally representative public opinion survey in the United States that occurs every one to two years. The study was published in the journal PLOS ONE and supports previous research on trust and intelligence in European countries.
Researchers say one potential explanation is smarter people are better at judging character and are therefore less likely to involve themselves with those who may betray them.
Read:Height matters for women while choosing partner
"Intelligence is shown to be linked with trusting others, even after taking into account factors like marital status, education and income," says lead author Noah Carl of the Oxford Department of Sociology. "This finding supports what other researchers have argued, namely that being a good judge of character is a distinct part of human intelligence which evolved through natural selection. However, there are other possible interpretations of the evidence, and further research is needed to disentangle them."
"People who trust others seem to report better health and greater happiness," added Professor Francesco Billari of the same department, who was also one of the study's authors. The researchers suggest that trust is significant due to the importance of "social trust" in regard to social institutions and public health and note that, "there are good reasons to think that governments, religious groups and other civic organizations should try to cultivate more trust in society."
However, researchers also found the links between trust and health, and trust and happiness, are not explained by intelligence. Research instead confirms trust as a valuable resource for an individual, and not merely a measure of intelligence.
