Heath verdict could motivate breakthrough in unsolved Newtown murder
NEWTOWN -- More than 25 years ago, Lisa Peterson was a young police reporter for the Newtown Bee, although by April 2010, she'd left journalism behind and was working as director of communications for the American Kennel Club in Manhattan.
Then, on April 14 of that year, she received a phone call from a former source in Newtown. A woman's body had been found, a woman who'd vanished without a trace in the 1980s, the decade when Peterson was on the beat.
"I thought, `Oh my God, it's Regina Brown,'" she said.
Peterson was intimately familiar with the story of the former American Airlines flight attendant, even more so than some of the investigators who were periodically assigned to review the cold case in the 23 years since Brown was last seen alive. Even after leaving The Bee, Peterson continued to pursue the story, interviewing police officers, traveling to Texas to speak with family members and even making a trip to Block Island with police in an unsuccessful search for Brown's body.
But it wasn't long before Peterson learned that the body was not that of the 35-year-old mother of three who was reported missing in March 1987 after uncharacteristically failing to show up for two flight assignments.
Instead it was another Newtown woman, Elizabeth Heath, who disappeared three years before Brown, and whose husband, John, insisted for years had run away in the middle of the night.
More InformationThree Newtown wives disappeared in the mid-1980s
April 1984: Elizabeth Heath
October 2013: Husband convicted of murder
November 1986: Helle Crafts
January 1990: Husband convicted of murder
March 1987: Regina Brown
Case unsolved
Last week, John Heath, now 70-years-old and confined to a wheelchair, was convicted of the murder, even though the state's case against him was entirely circumstantial.
But Elizabeth Heath had already been forgotten by the time a wave of crime stories swept over the picturesque New England community in the mid-1980s, including the notorious "woodchipper murder" of another flight attendant, Helle Crafts.
When the weekly newspaper came out just before Thanksgiving 1986, there were "four or five stories about death and murder," Peterson recalled. An elderly couple had been asphyxiated by carbon monoxide from a kerosene heater, a man in Sandy Hook fatally stabbed his wife in a domestic dispute, and a local high school football player had been accused of killing another teenager in a fight during a party.
But all those stories were soon eclipsed by the spotlight focused on Newtown the following January, when Richard Crafts was accused of killing his wife and disposing of her body by running it through a woodchipper.
All that remained, were strands of hair, a few fragments of bone, and part of a gold-capped tooth that experts said belonged to Helle Crafts.
The arrest and subsequent prosecution of her husband, the first without a body in state history, as well as the bizarre nature of the crime, garnered national attention for the better part of three years, until he was convicted of murder in January 1990 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Crafts never conceded that his wife was dead, then-Danbury State's Attorney Walter Flanagan said in an interview last week.
"Richard Crafts still insisted she was going to come walking through the courtroom door. That was his defense," Flanagan said.
So when the 35-year-old Brown went missing three months after Helle Crafts disappeared, the case barely raised a ripple.
The situation changed somewhat the following September, Peterson said, when Regina's husband, American Airline pilot Willis Brown, brought a divorce action against his missing wife in state Superior Court in Danbury, at the same time preliminary hearings in the Crafts case were being held.
"The similarities were so eerie," Peterson recalled. "They both were flight attendants, both had three young children and both were married to pilots. They even lived less than a mile apart, even though they didn't know each other."
Cold case still open
While there are many similarities, the biggest difference between the cases of the three women is that in the trials of John Heath and Richard Crafts, prosecutors at least had remains indicating the deaths were the result of foul play.
Regina Brown's body has never been found.
She was last seen on March 26, 1987, placing her youngest daughter, Ashley, and the family's live-in baby sitter on a plane at LaGuardia Airport to join her other two children, Nicholas and Reina, in Texas with Regina's parents.
By that time, friends said, she had given up hopes of saving her five-year marriage to 52-year-old Willis, a union marked by violence, unsubstantiated allegations of promiscuity and drug use, and Willis Brown's almost paranoid belief -- despite scientific proof to the contrary -- that the couple's children had been fathered by other men.
They were living apart, Regina with the children on Whippoorwill Hill Road and Willis in an apartment in Queens, N.Y.
On her way home from the airport, Brown called a long-time friend, and said if anything happened to her, "Willis will have done to me what he promised to do to me."
A few days later, concerned neighbors went to her home, found it empty except for the family dog and numerous personal items Regina was known to always keep with her.
Newtown police searched the Browns' home, but found no sign of a struggle or other evidence a crime had been committed. Several months later, the state police Major Crime Squad did another search, and that November investigators canvassed the neighborhood with police dogs, but again, nothing was found.
As time passed, Willis Brown began telling people that his wife had been spotted in far-off corners of the world.
Their three children, who grew up with Regina's parents in Texas before later going to live with their father, were told for years their mother had disappeared, Reina Brown, now 29-year-old, said.
"I remember standing by the window and asking my grandmother when my mom was coming to get me," Reina Brown recalled. "She just cried."
To Flanagan, Willis Brown has always been the chief suspect.
"There were incidents of violence, and there was a family relations file, and a lot of other information that can't be made public," he said. "In my opinion, he obviously was the only suspect. But we never had enough to get an arrest warrant."
In 2008, the Newtown police, in conjunction with the chief state's attorney's office, conducted an extensive reinvestigation of the Brown case. But although it yielded new information, it was still not enough to make an arrest, according to Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe.
Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky said he hopes one of the results of the successful Heath prosecution is that it might motivate someone else who has information about the Brown case to contact Newtown police.
"It's a cold case, but it's still open," he said.
Peterson, however, believes that investigators gathered enough information to seek an arrest warrant, and now that both Helle Crafts and Elizabeth Brown have received justice, Regina Brown should, too.
"Anytime anyone revisits the Regina Brown case, there is hope that somebody, somewhere has information to move it along," she said.

Washington, meet Snapchat.
Last week, the photo-messaging service became the first company to have its data hacked in 2014. More than 4 million account usernames and partial phone numbers were exposed, and a government probe could be forthcoming.
Now the social media company wants to tell policymakers in D.C. what it's all about. To that end, it has hired lobbying firm Heather Podesta + Partners, according to this disclosure form. (Heather is the former sister-in-law of new White House adviser John Podesta.) Under the heading "specific lobbying issues (current and anticipated)," the form reads: "Educating policymakers regarding the application's operation and practices."
Snapchat's hiring of the firm was reported in The Hill earlier Monday. It's the first time the company has hired lobbyists.
Some observers think the company could be facing a fine.
Only rarely does the FTC fine companies for security breaches. But Snapchat's seems like a slam dunk given prior warnings. #Snapchat
— Verne Kopytoff (@vkopytoff) January 3, 2014
Snapchat, meanwhile, said it will be releasing an updated version of its app that will "address future attempts to abuse our service."

In his quest for appointment as Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel has earned the endorsement of Patrick Buchanan. Buchanan of course is a true believer in the key components of the Hagel thesis, right down the line. Ron Radosh explicates the meaning of Buchanan's endorsement.
Does Hagel's nomination remain on track? I was dubious, but Hagel seems to have one thing going for him. He represents some of Obama's deepest, if unspoken, beliefs. Carl in Jerusalem collects links to reports suggesting that Obama may nominate Hagel tomorrow.

Student Engagement
A world renowned system of education, a policy driven support of innovation and technology and a culture of combining theoretical and industrial experience make Germany the ideal environment for promoting MIT's tradition of mens et manus, allowing students to bridge the divide between theory and practice while gaining experience in the field.
Each year 80-100 students intern at leading German companies, universities and research organizations. Projects are hands-on and student contributions can lead to patents, publications and new technologies. Students also have the opportunity to apply for teaching opportunities as part of the unique Global Teaching Labs program in Germany, where they are placed at German high schools to teach STEM subjects in January.
Faculty Connections
Germany Seed Funds facilitate research collaborations between MIT faculty and their German counterparts.
Launched in 2011, the MIT-Germany Seed Fund granted 26 projects with partners throughout Germany and has increased the visibility at MIT with outstanding German centers. Seed funded projects have led to larger scale grant support with the NIH, corporate sponsorship at German universities, peer-reviewed publications and increased post-doc exchanges.
The MIT-Germany - University of Stuttgart Seed Fund launched in fall 2015 and awards two projects annually (three in 2018). Open to all disciplines, the fund aims to promote student participation and deepen research partnerships, with a focus on junior researchers.
The new MIT-Germany - FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg Seed Fund launched in summer 2018 and awards one project annually. Open to all disciplines, the fund aims to foster new research partnerships and promote the exchange of faculty and students.
German Industry and Research
Working with a robust and diverse portfolio, the program has contacts with hundreds of partners in nearly every corner of the country. While most organizations are interested in hosting MIT students for summer internships, teaching programs or recruiting for longer projects, other partners are interested in strengthening their presence at MIT and connecting with faculty and researchers on campus.

District: 6
Contact: Pamela Runge
Phone: (559) 488-4067
$165 million will upgrade bridges, repair rough pavement,
and keep pavement in good condition from deteriorating
FRESNO – Californians will be driving on smoother roads, safer bridges, and enjoying the benefits of enhanced transit thanks to $334 million in new funding allocated to 53 projects by the California Transportation Commission.
The allocations include approximately $165 million to repair bumpy pavement, preserve roads that are in good condition from worsening, and upgrade bridges to make them safer and stronger. Most of California's highways are more than a half-century old, and they carry nearly half of the nation's container freight – heavy loads that pound our highways more than any other state.
"To get the most bang for the buck for taxpayers, Caltrans targets dollars where they are most effective - pavement preservation," Dougherty said. "Every $1 spent on preventive pavement maintenance saves Californians $11 that would have been spent on future pavement repairs."
Currently, 84 percent, or 42,000 lane miles of California highways are in good operating condition. Caltrans' goal is to reach 90 percent by 2023, which is a challenge as funding is declining and highways are aging. In 2013, Caltrans repaired 76,808 potholes on the Golden State's 50,000 highway lane miles. This was down nearly 100,000 potholes from a few years prior due to Caltrans' repaving efforts.
The allocations also include $64 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $17 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.
The remaining funding allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
Some of the projects that received funding support include:
- An allocation of $249,000 for Hillard Street Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements in Taft. This project will construct 1600 feet of landscaped bike and pedestrian path, improve ride quality, and decrease bike commute time. Funding recipient Kern County Council of Governments
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations.

When it comes to changing jobs, there's a clear hierarchy of difficulty at play:
Easiest: Changing to a job in the same function and industry.
Harder: Changing job function or industry.
Hardest: Changing both your job function and your industry at the same time.
And yet, despite that hierarchy, many people do attempt to take on major career changes all the time. According to Chris Kovitz, Associate Director of the MBA Career Center at the Paul Merage School of Business (UC, Irvine), some 44 percent of MBA students cite the desire to change either function, industry or both as a major reason for pursuing the degree.
In a fascinating workshop for MBA career service professionals at the recent MBA CSC conference in Seattle, Kovitz touched on the difficulty that many candidates have in understanding the roles or industries that they're aiming to break into. One of the main themes that emerged from his session at the conference is that many job seekers often have very little idea of the attributes or skills that are required to do a given job in a given industry. And without that knowledge, it's very difficult for a candidate to be able to pull off the trick of looking like he or she is the perfect person to fill the role.
Fortunately, Kovitz also led a group discovery session aimed at equipping job seekers with exactly that knowledge, and learning to harness it. Here are just a few of the suggestions that came up:
Start by making a list of the attributes and skills required for a job. To do that, candidates can do everything from a close reading of job adverts—which often list desired characteristics—to more in-depth research, including informational interviews—and checking out career sites such as (cough) Vault (cough).
Kovitz recommended creating two separate lists—one for skills (basically, things that you can do) and the other for attributes (personality traits that will help a person succeed in the role). But if the job you're targeting is "financial advisor," don't stop at say, "Excel proficiency" as a skill. Think about why or how you would use Excel in that role, and drill into the sub-sets of skills as well. Perhaps "ability to draw insights and conclusions from large data sets" might be on your list. As might "ability to identify cost savings and efficiencies." Both of those are likely to be of more interest to an employer than the first example--especially if you're seeking to impress someone in a different industry, or trying to explain why your existing skill-set would transfer seamlessly to a new role.
It's not enough, however, to simply come up with a list of buzzwords or a description of a job. Once you have it, you need to put it to work, by carefully considering how your current abilities and traits stack up against those that you have identified as critical in your target role and industry.
It's important at this stage to be honest with yourself. Not having a specific skill or attribute doesn't have to be something that will kill your application. But if your strategy for landing the job is to pretend they don't exist and hope it doesn't come up at the interview, you're taking a big risk. Instead, address each of the shortcomings, either by developing an answer as to how you would overcome it in the role, or by getting the requisite training.
While you're using your new lists to help you prepare for your new career, don't forget about the things that you cando. For each of the attributes that you think you do have, be sure to come up with a "proof statement" that you can trot out in any interview setting. That way, if you're asked about your ability to, say, effect cost savings, you'll have your answer about your excel skills saving your last employer a bunch of money all ready to go.
Perhaps the best suggestion for planning a transition into a new career field came from one of the attendees at the workshop. The advice came from a former consultant who now advises MBAs on how to transition into consulting careers. Her suggestion: that you treat the research process as you would a consulting engagement—researching data, putting together a presentation, and figuring out how to counter objections before they come up.

Sculptors lovers
* They like having the logo section stretch across the top of the site. The new logo they will be using is attached. If you want to invert the colours or anything for the design (eg. blue or black bg with white text) that should be ok. I think also the underline can be optional.
* The client want to keep that slideshow thing that is currently in the top left corner. It must remain on the homepage, although I think we can change the position/size etc if necessary.
* On the Sculptors page, we need to allow for the new JS search box and results display.
* For the main font they like something simple like Arial (although any sans-serif web-safe font should be ok)
* The new homepage will need to allow for similar content to what is currently there (invitation/advertisement for current exhibitions) as well as some links to Bulletin Articles (as are currently there below the big image) and possibly links to other content within the site
o The only thing to be aware of here is that it needs to be done in such a way that the staff can easily edit/update the homepage content from the existing CMS while maintaing the new design/page layout.

Thursday morning, I had the pleasure of sitting in on the Botanical Garden seminar, presented by Charlotte Voisey and Jim Ryan of William Grant & Sons. Voisey and Ryan discussed the roles that various botanicals play in gins.
The seminar was lighthearted but info-packed. Four actors played the role of different botanicals and were decked in colorful outfits. At the right moment, the actor would come out into the room, dance or strut or even swagger around to music, and then exit. It sounds cheesy but it was actually quite fun.
Charlotte started, describing the history of the science of botany, and how our understanding has evolved over time.
They then split the world of gin botanicals into four groups: spice, floral, citrus, and other. They said there was honestly no better term they could derive than "other." In spice, they covered first the biggie: juniper. They worked through coriander, caraway, and cubeb.
The cocktail served during this portion was the Snapper. Their version included Hendricks gin, rice wine vinegar, spices and a float of port.
They moved on to citrus: orange peel, lemon peel. They use a bitter orange, like that found in marmalade, for Hendrick's. As for the lemon, it's there to help correct and soften other flavors. Cocktail was the Citrus Fizz, in which they tried to layer the citrus flavors in the drink. It was gin, Solerna Blood Orange Liqueur, creme de violette, rhubarb bitters, and the juices of orange, lemon, and lime.
Among the floral botanicals used in making Hendricks are chamomile, elderflower; meadowsweet, and rose petal. The cocktail served here was the Pall Mall Punch: Hendricks, chamomile tea, lemon, honey syrup, and Peychaud's. Lovely drink.
Finally, the elusive "other." Just three things here, one of which will certainly not surprise anyone: first, angelica root, and orris root and the non-shocker, cucumber. I was interested to learn that cucumber's essential oils are too low to be added in distillation, so they're infused in afterward. For this round, they served up the La Luna, which was really kind of fun, but a little strong: Hendricks, cucumber juice, jalapeno syrup, and lime. A very green drink.

A middle-1X nm NAND flash memory cell (M1X-NAND) with highly manufacturable integration technologies
Editor's note: This work was first presented at the 2011 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) and appears here courtesy of the IEEE. For more information about IEDM 2012 (San Francisco, CA; December 10-12), click here.
A middle-1x nm design rule multi-level NAND flash memory cell (M1X-NAND) has been successfully developed for the first time. 1) Quad spacer patterning technology (QSPT) of ArF immersion lithography is used for patterning mid-1x-nm rule wordline (WL). In order to achieve high performance and reliability, several integration technologies are adopted, such as 2) advanced WL air-gap process, 3) floating gate slimming process, and 4) optimized junction formation scheme. And also, by using 5) new N±1 WL Vpass scheme during programming, charge loss and program speed are greatly improved. As a result, mid-1x-nm design rule NAND flash memories has been successfully realized.
The NAND flash memory cell has been scaled down to the 2x [1,2,3] and 2y nm [4] generations aggressively. As scaling down of a cell size, many serious scaling problems were caused in 2x and 2y nm generation, however they were solved or managed by process, device, and system solutions. For further scaling down beyond 2y nm, we face new scaling limitations such as patterning limitation of ArF immersion spacer patterning technology (SPT), more severe control gate (CG) poly-Si filling problems between floating gates (FGs), and high electric field and charge loss problem between WLs. This paper describes several new advanced processes and operation schemes to overcome these problems, as shown in Table 1. As a result, M1XNAND flash cell is successfully implemented with highly manufacturable integration technologies.
M1X-NAND cell process
Figure 1 shows the layout of M1X-NAND flash cells. The half pitch of WL is middle-1x nm. The BL contacts are formed staggered arrangement and a string has several dummy WLs. In order to pattern middle-1x nm design rule WLs, QSPT is intensively developed to overcome limitation of ArF immersion SPT.
As shown in Figure 2, first patterns are formed by photolithography and the two times combination of previous formed pattern and spacer are formed final patterns.
The WL critical dimension (CD) of QSPT, which plays a very important role of Vth distribution factor, is precisely controlled less than 1.5% uniformity (see figure 3). QSPT is successfully adopted for mid-1x-nm design rule NAND cell patterning.
Figure 4 shows cross-sectional TEM micrographs of M1X-NAND cell, (a) along WL-direction, and (b) along BL-direction.
The floating gate slimming process can achieve the void-free filling of CG poly-Si and wider active area CD, which can obtain large cell current. An electrical depletion in CG poly-Si is greatly suppressed by this void-free process. As a result, BL interference is successfully improved 20% compared with conventional process (see figure 5). The CG CoSi height was selected reasonably to achieve optimized gate shape and decrease WL RC delay for improvement program performance.

Author Notes: I obviously did not invent the concept of a vodka pasta sauce. I wish I had, I'm fully qualified. Living in the Florida Panhandle, we have seemingly, endless and reasonably priced access to the freshest seafood. We eat a lot of it and much of that is Gulf shrimp. I've come up with many quick meals that showcase the seafood but this is our current favorite. The credit for this recipe is shared amongst the guy that created the vodka sauce concept, the guys at Cool Fish Market and the shrimp. I just brought them all together. Although this comes together quickly, take your time heating the garlic very gently. - Andra —ourlastsupper
Food52 Review: There's a good reason why pasta with vodka sauce is a classic: it's comfort food at its finest. Andra's version, with its boozy kick and lovely sprinkling of basil, is elegant enough to make my partner think I had spent hours over the stove, yet simple enough that the sauce took only slightly longer to cook than the pasta. Sadly for me, I don't have the luxury of Andra's Gulf shrimp out here, but my previously frozen ones from Whole Foods worked just fine. I would add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes next time, and believe me, there will certainly be a next time. —mg2157

Toby Fernsler, a 43-year-old general contractor and handyman who lives in Boulder, is running for Boulder County sheriff.
Fernsler, who's not affiliated with any political party, filed his candidacy affidavit with the Colorado Secretary of State's office on March 11 and has created a website on which he says he's seeking to be the "Sheriff of Love."
He said that the decision to seek the office was "an idea that just grew in me a bit" because of his belief that law enforcement should emphasize trying to change the behaviors of criminal offenders — and addressing situations that may have led to them violating the law — as well as providing justice for victims.
He said there should be "less focus on prosecution" and "more on positive solutions."
Fernsler's candidacy, if he collects enough petition signatures to gain a spot on November's general election ballot, will create a contest with incumbent Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, a Democrat who's seeking reelection to a fourth four-year term. No Republicans or members of other political parties have thus far declared their candidacies for the seat.
Fernsler said he's worked "in a wide variety" of scientific and computer programming fields and recently completed the Boulder County Sheriff's Office's Citizens Law Enforcement Academy.
He acknowledged he doesn't have a background in law enforcement but said that "I'm doing the best I can to prepare myself to do what I say I'm going to do" as sheriff.
Fernsler wrote on his website that "the Sheriff of Love is the county's elected protector. He looks out for the well being of the residents, businesses, visitors, animal, land, water, air, history and future. His every action is motivated by universal love and untainted by fear."

BENEFITING: Samaritans
ORGANIZER: Samaritans
EVENT: 2012 Boston Marathon
Mileage Tracker: 500
I will always remember every minute of November 1, 1999. I was a senior in high school, waiting for the principal to punish me for cutting class when he said the four words that would change my life forever, "Your aunt has died."
To this day, I would trade any punishment in the world for that one, for a life without her.
My aunt Gail was a force to be reckoned with. In addition to being a beloved daughter, sister and aunt, she was a loyal friend, and a talented and valued member of the NBC family. She loved her cats and the color purple and though she struggled to show it in her final years, I know she loved our family very much as well.
Not a single day goes by where I don't wonder, for just a moment, what could have been...
Finding Samaritans and figuring out how to turn my loss into something that helps others has been incredible. When I am answering phones on the 24 hour helpline and meeting with families dealing with the confusion and loss after a suicide, I know that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. When I saw an email about the opportunity to run the marathon and raise money and awareness for suicide prevention, despite having never run more than three miles in a row, I just knew it was something I had to do.
If just one person hears about our efforts, or sees our team at the run, and calls the helpline during a time of need, it will have made every early morning and every blister worthwhile.
And besides, I'm sure my aunt is having a great laugh every time I wake up in the dark and freezing cold for a run. Even though it's hard, living my life to the fullest is the only way I know to honor her memory.
With over 500 deaths by suicide a year in Boston alone, this is an issue that touches many of us. I'm not sure if my aunt ever called a helpline, but had she wanted to, I really hope that one was available.
Please consider joining me in my effort to prevent suicide and help families deal with their grief. I have no doubt that your contribution will save lives.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Federal regulators are expected to give final approval this week to the so-called Volcker Rule, which bars banks from making risky investments with the insured deposits they're holding for customers. To protect against having to bail out depositors in the event of a giant bank failure, it makes sense to set clear limits on what banks can do with the assets that the federal government guarantees. But the contention surrounding the Volcker Rule illustrates how hard it is for regulators to translate simple concepts into real and effective rules.
The subprime mortgage meltdown and ensuing credit crunch led some to call on Congress to break up the major Wall Street firms and bank holding companies, just as it had done in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash. Instead, lawmakers enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which beefed up regulation of the financial industry without changing its structure. Among other things, the law required banks to keep larger and more readily accessible reserves and to borrow a smaller percentage of the money they loaned or invested. It also included the Volcker Rule to put a virtual firewall between insured deposits and a bank's Wall Street activities, although it left the details to be worked out by five federal regulatory agencies.
The Volcker Rule was exactly the sort of thing businesses tell Washington they need from regulators: a clear line dividing legal and illegal activity. It told banks that they could not engage in "proprietary trading," meaning they could buy and sell securities, derivatives or other risky financial instruments only at a client's request and with the client's money.
YEAR IN REVIEW: Washington's 5 biggest 'fails' of 2013
That simple construct didn't map well to the complex modern banking industry, however. So Congress and regulators exempted certain proprietary trades, including those that involved little risk (for example, buying and selling government securities) and those done to hedge clients' bets. And what began as a three-page proposal from former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker has ballooned to some 70 pages of regulations (not counting hundreds of pages of preamble), reflecting how hard it is to identify an improper "proprietary" trade and a impermissible strategy for hedging. The five agencies are expected to vote on a final version of the rule Tuesday .
Some in the financial industry are still unhappy with the idea of walling off insured deposits from risky trades, which they say wouldn't prevent a repeat of the subprime fiasco. The ideal safeguard would be to enable struggling banks to fail without dragging down the rest of the economy. But there's no simple way to do that, which is why Dodd-Frank tries to shore up the system in multiple ways. The Volcker Rule is one of them, the stronger and clearer the better.

Then you have at least 2 options: 1: If the remote result (your machine B) is text, then you could write something like this: ssh account at remotehost "<remote commands>" | <local text processing commands> > <local file name> E.g. "ssh foo at B "w" | wc -l > w.txt" will localy (your machine A) count the lines returned from the remote command "w" on "foo at B", and store the result in a local file "w.txt" (your machine A). 2: If the result is not text, you can then store the result from the remote command(s) on the remote machine (your machine B), and then get the result file(s) with "scp" to the local machine (your machine A). scp account at remotehost:<remote file name> <your choosen local file name> E.g. "scp foo at B:resultdata.dat result-from-B.dat" This principle works for me. MF

|Cub Scout Denner
A Denner is a Cub Scout or Webelos Scout who is elected to be the temporary youth leader of his den. All Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, as well as Webelos Dens should elect a Denner. A den may elect a new Denner every few weeks, monthly, or other term. The Denner wears the gold double-strand Denner shoulder cord No. 00368 over his left shoulder.
The Denner position provides many important benefits to the boy and to the den:
- Denners learn about leadership and responsibility first-hand.
- The Denner program helps give every boy a fair chance to lead.
- Each family shares equally in helping the den leader.
- The Denner position is preparing boys to be Patrol Leaders in Boy Scouts.
- Scouts and parents who are allowed to help are more like to stay in Scouts.
- Denners are recognized by being allowed to wear the Denner's gold cords.
Certain ranks require that every boy serve as Denner. Also, the Denner leads the flag and opening ceremony as required for various ranks. However a popular boy who is re-elected may deny others the opportunity to learn and advance. For this reason, the Den Leader may decide that boys who have already served as Denner may not be elected again until every other boy has had a turn. Alternately, a single Denner election may be held at the beginning of the year to determine the Denner schedule for the year, with new den leaders rotating monthly or of every few weeks.
The Denner (typically along with his parent or adult partner) have many important duties as assigned by the Tiger Cub Den Leader, Cub Scout Den Leader or Webelos Den Leader that may include:
- Help with den meeting setup.
- Lead the opening ceremony (flag, oath, law).
- Take the Den Attendance and dues meetings.
- Help with the meeting activities.
- Provide simple refreshments such as cookies and cups of juice.
- Lead the closing ceremony.
- Help with den meeting cleanup.
- Help with other responsibilities as assigned by the Den Leader.
Assistant Denner
The Assistant Denner assists the Denner at den meetings and fills in for the Denner when the Denner is not available. The Den Leader may establish a practice of the Assistant Denner becoming the Denner in the next term. This way the Assistant Denner can watch and learn from the Denner so that he will be ready for the next term. Using this approach, the Assistant Denner is elected each month to become the Denner the next month.
The Assistant Denner wears the gold single-strand Assistant Denner shoulder cord No. 00385 over his left shoulder.
The Denner is top youth leader in its unit. Other top youth leaders are:
- Denner - Cub Scouting
- Senior Patrol Leader - Boy Scouting
- Captain - Varsity Scouting
- President - Venturing
- Boatswain - Sea Scouting
- President - Exploring

Wow I love this place, it's very almost perfect. It's inspired me to use some more pastels and less contrast in my new place. Talking of new places, we are house hunting like crazy - nothing seems to fit for us. I guess when we walk in to the right one, we will know. Until then it's back to our old apartment for a few months - with three of us now, plus a cat, it's going to be cosy to say the least :)

I'm just building a new website for the British Institute of Persian Studies to replace their old one . And I've been experimenting with adding Google and flickr to the basic Textpattern driven content management system. I haven't gone down a plugin path for this, instead I've used a really good idea from David Ramos and adapted this to suit my idea for mapping research articles and archaeological site notes. The current website doesn't offer this content (sites), so the information is currently lifted directly from Wikipedia and the Institute's scholars may wish to expand it and correct Wikipedia's errors if they exist. The basic result can be seen on my dev server version and has resized infowindows, short excerpts from the info, geo co-ordinates and a direct output (&output=kml) to Google Earth. I'm trying to decide whether mouseover or click is the best usability model for this interface, I am leaning towards the click as it allows you to focus better.
The last thing that I think I'll do is add custom markers using the Society logo as the pointer but I need to be back in the office as I don't have any image editing software on my macbook (any open source packages anyone can suggest?) So does the integration add value to this website? I think it helps visualise the locations that get mentioned in the text of the site.
I've learnt quite alot from these pages produced by the Blackpool Community Church JavaScript Team and the results are useful. Maybe I'll do something with this for the Scheme's website running data direct from the database.
The other thing that I've played with is 24Ways tutorial on parsing JSON data from flickr's api to add value to the website and draw in current photos of Iran, Persia and archaeological sites. I've not done and JSON stuff before, but I like the result! As mentioned in the article, this output is at present undocumented, but seems a lot faster than the RSS method I use. You are still limited to how many photos you pull out and I can't see how to just use Creative Commons licensed data as yet. So once again, like the google implementation, it is hard coded into one of Textpattern's template pages that drive a section. For a simple CMS, Textpattern offers some great functions and is extensible. Better meta data handling would be great and a better image management or inbuilt gallery would also be brilliant. However, it suits my needs for projects like this.
Of course the Institute might hate it, and the design is still up for discussion but as it is css driven easy to change, I'm going to add some sand and desert plants to the background and the blues denote the sky. I've also started to build in microformats and I've also used zenphoto gallery for images (all temporary from the lovely Vesta Curtis) and I'm starting to integrate the forum software into the CMS.
Anyway, comments gratefully received….even if you hate it or think it could be improved. I'm still just dabbling with this technology lark.

This button was a promotional piece about 1-3/4" in diameter, given out by shoe stores on the purchase of a pair of Keds, one of the sponsors of the daily kids' show "Fireman Frank" broadcast by KRON-TV in San Francisco during the mid-50s. Fireman Frank was George Lemont, a hip SF deejay who stepped into the role after the original Fireman, a roly-poly avuncular gent more in the style of a kids' TV host, dropped dead. Lemont's humor appealed as much to adults as well as kids; you could hear the studio crew guffawing off-camera at things that went over our heads. Between cartoons, Lemont brought out his cast of puppets, including robot Dynamo Dudley, the beret-wearing, bop-talking Scat the Cat and best of all, Karl the Karrot. Karl, as you can see, was a sort of proto-beatnik, literally a carrot with a pair of shades. His dialog consisted entirely of "blubble-lubble-lubble" while he thrashed about, chlorophyl topknot flailing. At home, we were all in convulsions on the floor. |

Raymarine Upgrades Multifunction Product Line With New LightHouse v5
New Software Offers "Slew-to-Cue" Thermal Camera Tracking, New fuel manager, IP video camera support and much more....
Raymarine has announced LightHouse v5 software for c-Series, e-Series and the all new a-Series multifunction displays. LightHouse v5 greatly improves the MFD user experience with a long list of new features and enhancements to Raymarine's award winning multifunction displays. The new version 5 software makes its debut at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show and will be showcased across the entire Raymarine MFD offering including the all new e165 – the e-Series flagship, and the new compact a-Series MFDs.
LightHouse v5 brings several great new capabilities, including Fuel Management tools. Raymarine MFD users can now calibrate their fuel tank levels and take advantage of fuel usage displays, low fuel alerts, plus a dynamic fuel range ring overlaid on the chartplotter display. The innovative fuel range ring provides a simple visual representation of vessel range based on tank levels and live fuel consumption.
One of the most significant new features in LightHouse v5 is "Slew-to-Cue" thermal camera tracking. Taking advantage of FLIR's expertise in security and surveillance thermal technology, Raymarine now delivers an enhanced level of integration between thermal night vision, radar, and GPS navigation. "Slew-to-Cue" improves situational awareness by enabling the thermal camera to automatically keep any "cued" targets in view at all times. Just touch the radar or chart display (the cue) and the thermal camera automatically moves the camera view to the cursor position (the slew), allowing captains to keep radar targets or chart objects in constant view while underway. For added safety the camera will Auto Slew to MARPA and AIS targets, providing visual confirmation of dangerous vessel traffic situations. A Man Over Board alarm will also activate Auto Slew, keeping the Man Over Board position in view at all times during a rescue situation.
Video over IP camera connectivity is also available with LightHouse v5. Video over IP enables a simple Ethernet connection to multiple CCTV cameras, allowing boaters to simply swipe and view every connected camera on the network.
Raymarine users now have the freedom to go paperless on board with an all new document viewer application in LightHouse v5. The new document viewer gives Raymarine MFD users the ability to view PDF files alongside navigation functions e.g view your active radar and set guard zones while viewing the relevant section of the manual at the same time. Now users can access Raymarine handbooks and other vessel related documents right from the helm.
In addition to showcasing the new LightHouse v5, Raymarine will preview an all new MFD audio application that integrates with Fusion 700 series marine stereos. The new application lets users access their Fusion stereo controls right from the MFD user interface. The application gives Raymarine users remote control of tracks, playlist, volume, and even features album art right on the MFD display. The new MFD audio application with Fusion integration will be available in the next version of LightHouse in early 2013.
The free LightHouse v5 software will be available for Raymarine's new generation of c-Series, e-Series and a-Series multifunction displays. The software and upgrade instructions will be downloadable in the next few days from the Raymarine website www.raymarine.com

I like when you flip the book over it tells you what mommies do best. This book reminds me of things my dad and I can do together. My favorite part is flipping the book over and reading about all the things you can do with mommies too. The pictures are of animals and how their mommies and daddies can help each other just like real mommies and daddies.
I do recommend this book because it can remind you of all the fun things you can do with mommy and daddy. I think kids and grownups would both enjoy reading this story and maybe even doing some of the activities just like the characters in the book. I really like the author's idea of it really being two books in one, one about daddies and one about mommies.

Promising results from HIV vaccine trials
Monday, November 5, 2012
The first and only preventative HIV vaccine based on a genetically modified killed whole-virus has been making steady progress in Phase I Clinical Trials in the United States and the interim results are being analyzed in preparation for the next steps.
Developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his team at Western University's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, with the support of Sumagen Canada, the vaccine (SAV001-H) holds tremendous promise for success in the final phases of clinical testing now that the first hurdle has been accomplished. It is the only HIV vaccine currently under development in Canada, and one of only a few in the world. The first human applied clinical study (SAV CT 01) using a genetically modified killed whole-virus vaccine (SAV001-H) to evaluate its safety and tolerability was initiated in March 2012. This study is a randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study of killed whole HIV-1 vaccine (SAV001-H) following intramuscular (IM) administration. Infected men and women, 18 to 50 years of age, have been enrolled in this study and randomized into two treatment groups to administer killed whole HIV-1 vaccine (SAV001-H) or placebo.
Sumagen announced today that the patient enrollment has progressed smoothly and there have been no adverse effects observed including local reactions, signs/symptoms and laboratory toxicities after SAV001-H injection in all enrolled patients to date. With these interim results, the SAV001-H has proven safety and tolerability in humans and given Sumagen confidence for the next clinical trials to prove its immunogenicity and efficacy evaluation.
In addition, the humoral immune responses, such as HIV-1 antibody formation against SAV001-H, are currently being analyzed. The interim data showed significant increase in the HIV-1 antibody formations after SAV001-H administration compared to the base line in some patients. Even though this study is a blinded study until completion, these results are encouraging for the possibility of the prophylactic potency of SAV001-H.
With these interim results, Sumagen is confident of the safety of SAV001-H and the potency of inducing immune responses in human trials.
Dr. Dong Joon Kim, a spokesperson for Sumagen Co. Ltd. says, "We have proven that there is no safety concern of SAV001-H in human administration and we are now prepared to take the next steps towards Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. We are delighted to be one step closer to the first commercialized HIV vaccine."
In future, the company will be looking for collaboration with multi-national biopharmaceutical companies for globalizing clinical trials and commercialization.
This Phase I clinical trial (SAV CT 01) was partially funded by Industrial Research Assistant Program of National Research Council Canada since January 2012.
HIV/AIDS has killed more than 28 million people worldwide, and more than 34 million people currently live with the virus infection. Since the virus was characterized in 1983, there have been numerous trials through pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions around the world to develop vaccines; however, no vaccine has been commercialized to date. Other HIV vaccines evaluated through human clinical trials have focused on either one specific component of HIV as an antigen, genetic vaccine using recombinant DNA, or recombinant viruses carrying the HIV genes. Kang's vaccine is unique in that it uses a killed whole HIV-1, much like the killed whole virus vaccines for polio, influenza, rabies and hepatitis A. The HIV-1 is genetically engineered so it is non-pathogenic and can be produced in large quantities.

Installing a new wood floor? Instead of traditional hardwood, you may want to consider an eco-friendly alternative: bamboo. It may be hard to imagine that reedy green plant growing wild in your yard making a good flooring material, but some varieties of bamboo (when mature and properly dried) are as hard as oak–and some are even harder.
Green Depot carries bamboo flooring by Foundations, a New York state-based company that offers click-together "floating" strand boards, as well as traditional tongue-and-groove solid-strip options, both in prefinished and unfinished varieties. Foundation's strand planks are made of the Moso variety of bamboo, which proves to be two times harder than red oak when subjected to the industry-standard Janka ball test. And Moso isn't a natural food supply for a pandas, so harvesting it even in the wild doesn't endanger their habitat.
But why else is bamboo such a good choice? The reasons are many, beginning with bamboo's rapid renewability, which makes it one of the greenest of green products used in building. A tree takes 80 to 120 years to grow to a size where it can be harvested for hardwood flooring planks, but a bamboo plant reaches maturity in only 3 to 6 years with minimal (if any) fertilization or pesticides, and it renews itself without replanting. This means it requires not only fewer natural resources to thrive, but less labor, as well. And bamboo can easily grow up to a foot a day, so it's not just fast, but plentiful.
Bamboo is also a boon to the natural environment itself, in a number of ways. Mature bamboo has a very complex and dense root structure (which, incidentally, is why is can be so hard to get out of your garden), which goes a long way to avoid soil erosion in areas where it's planted. Furthermore, a bamboo forest absorbs up to twice as much carbon dioxide as trees.
From a social responsibility perspective, as well, bamboo is winner—600 million people worldwide depend on income from it, and the industry employs nearly 6 million people in China alone. And as it grows in popularity, those numbers only expand.
Then there's affordability, which ties back to bamboo's ability to renew itself rapidly. The laws of supply and demand are at work here: A product that springs back into place quickly and with so little effort and expense can easily be kept in abundant supply, so prices for it can be lower, even in times of great demand. And its durability gives it another layer of affordability, as many kinds of bamboo flooring can go for long periods without refinishing or replacement. Several brands, including Foundations, coat their pre-finished planks with multiple layers of a water-based, zero-VOC, aluminum oxide-infused polyurethane that doesn't off-gas at all. Nice!
And that's not even touching on the design options bamboo flooring offers. Bamboo is available in any number of colors, many of which can be achieved using eco-friendly methods. Heating bamboo makes it darken to a rich amber color without the use of stain, and bleaching it in non-toxic hydrogen peroxide gives it a birchlike white-blond color. Its natural tone is a warm golden hue that lies somewhere in between the two, and bamboo can be colored with traditional wood stains to take it to anywhere from a medium chestnut brown to a near-black ebony.
Bamboo's narrow-strand structure allows it to be pressed into planks in a number of different formats, unlike wood, which of course comes naturally bound into wide pieces (tree trunks). Some bamboo flooring manufacturers even offer planks made of mixed dark- and light-colored strands, for an unusual streaky look. Still others turn the plant's fibers the short way, so the cut ends of the stalks are what make up the visible surface. The effect is a sort of small-dot pattern that is unique to bamboo.
As a side note, Green Depot also carries Plybam, an excellent companion to bamboo flooring. Plybam is plywood made entirely of bamboo instead of wood veneer, and it's perfect for use in cabinetry, furniture, paneling or any other project that usually calls for plywood. Its edges have a multidirectional pattern that offers an alternative to plywood's striped edges, and is attractive enough to make edge veneers a thing of the past.
