How to Pick the Best Light Bulbs for Every Room in Your House
The right lighting can make you feel relaxed or productive, but beyond that, there's function.
Lighting is a subtly powerful thing. It can impact everything from your sleep schedule to your brain power. So it's understandable that you want your home, the place you presumably spend a big chunk of your life, to be lit nicely. But there are so many different options to choose from. Here's a basic guide to get you started. Source Lifehacker

Summary and Context
Rereading takes readers deeper. It allows them to notice ideas about the characters, setting, and events that they previously did not. In this case, I want them to consider how the author shapes the characters/events. Yesterday, we reread the first part, today, we will reread the second half. I will explain to my students that, in rereading, we sometimes reread only certain pages and, on some pages, only certain sentences. The main goal is to understand why the author wrote this story, so it's okay to focus our reading in the places where this purpose is revealed.
The narrative of Tomas and the Library Lady, by Pat Mora is labeled as realistic fiction. It is a point I have discussed with my students. This story happens to be true. The story was written about Tomas Rivera when he was a child. Today, I will share with my students this information. I will show them a picture of Tomas Rivera as an adult and give them some background information (see PPT in next section). Though I don't think it's usually necessary to provide such background when the text can speak for itself, I also think this will deepen the interest in the text and strengthen the connection that some students will make to the text, so it's worthwhile in this case.
Before we begin, I will review briefly with the students what happens in the first part of the story.
At their tables, I will be using a PowerPoint Presentation to reread and pose text dependent question from the parts of the story I have selected to read today. My questions today invite the students to go deeper, to explore why the author wrote this narrative, and to find out how the author feels about her characters.
Then, I will gather the students on the rug, and we will continue exploring the question, "Why did the author write this story?" in a Socratic Seminar. Also, I will ask the students to choose one character and explain why that character is important to the story in a journal entry. I will ask them show evidence form the story when completing this work.
Lesson Opening:
I share the objective with my students. Then, we review what we have read so far and learned about Tomas, his family, and the Library Lady.
At their tables, I start by sharing about the real Tomas Rivera, the inspiration for the narrative. I share how he became the Chancellor of UC Riverside by sharing a couple of the slides from the PowerPoint Presentation. I explain the word "chancellor."
Next, we will move into rereading the text. I will use the power point presentation and our anthology for the rereading. In rereading, the students will do most of the reading on their own.
In asking the students the text dependent questions, I remind them to go back to the text and find the evidence from the book that supports their thoughts. I provide guidance by asking them:
I gather the students back on the carpet for our socratic seminar. I quickly review the rules for participation and the Handing-Off method that students use to maintain the flow of the discussion moving along. They can reference the Handing-Off Chart for discussion starters that will help them enter the conversation.
Today, we look at two questions:
As students respond to these questions, I encourage them to go back into the text to support their thoughts.
I am looking for them to answer with complete sentences and to be participating by either sharing or listening. I am also looking for them to know how to hand-off the discussion to their peers.
To keep them engaged in this process because it is new, I make this time "short and sweet," as they say. As the year progresses, I will extend this Socratic Seminar time, and students will take on a bigger role.
I have attached a document that goes more in depth of how I implement Socratic Seminar in my classroom in case you are curious and want to know more about this strategy.
Now, my students write a response to the following: Choose one character; why is the character important in the story? Show evidence from the story.
As they write, I walk around and make sure they are on task and provide assistance if needed. As soon as they are done, I read their writing and give them feedback.
I am looking for them to write in complete sentences. I am asking them to be careful with spelling especially if the word they are writing can be found in the text. I encourage them to use neat writing too.
Here are some of their work samples:

- Austrian GP - Qualifying
Hamilton spin costs Rosberg shot at pole
Nico Rosberg says Lewis Hamilton's spin in the last seconds of Q3 cost him pole position as he was forced to settle for third on the grid behind the two Williams drivers in Austria.
In an ironic turn of events following Monaco, where Rosberg's controversial late stoppage earned him pole at Hamilton's expense, the roles were reversed for the Mercedes drivers - though Hamilton's error means he will start down in ninth. Rosberg was forced to lift through Turn 2 on his crucial run and he admits he was surprised to find Williams pair Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas pipping Mercedes.
"No, of course I didn't expect them to be in front of me today but they did a good job and it just didn't come together perfectly for me," Rosberg said when asked about Williams' pace. "I also lost out on that last lap because of Lewis spinning in front in the corner so I couldn't do that lap, because you have to lift off two tenths of a second, and doing that then to do at least two tenths [better] you have to do three tenths so it wouldn't have been possible to improve on my lap time so I backed out.
"That definitely cost me today, but that's the way it is. But still, third place is ok. It's ok to start from there tomorrow, I had a quick car in the race [simulations]."
The result ends Mercedes' run of poles this season, one race after Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo ended the team's winning steak in Canada, but Rosberg still expects to be driving the car to beat on Sunday.
"It's a short track here and still we have the fastest car here, even today, it's just that I did not get that second lap to give it a go. In my first lap the balance was not good in general because I had worked more for the race but I did not expect it to be that uncomfortable. Anyway, now it's third and for the race I think I will have a good car.
"It's a very small view that we are taking, two races and no win, no pole, we are still dominant and I hope it will stay like that for some time to come."

text: For over 20 years BCEMS has provided Buncombe County with some of the best paramedic level care possible. With 70 personnel we operate 9 paramedic ambulances 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and answer more than 20,000 calls per year. Our History Prior to 1965 funeral homes and a few volunteer fire departments provided transport of the sick and injured to local hospitals. Citing cost and volume of calls most funeral homes in the area announced to the public that they would no longer operate ambulance services. City and County officials for a short time contracted to a Charlotte firm whom provided "The Ambulance Service of Asheville" until a year later when both the City and County jointly created the Asheville-Buncombe Ambulance Service. This continued until June, 1968 when Buncombe County became the provider of services. EMT training began in January 1974, to largely part time staff who were required to have Advanced First Aid. In February of 1975, in an effort to improve services, the county received a federally funded manpower training grant which provided EMT training and enabled the county to more than double the full time staff. With Memorial Mission Hospital as a sponsor, EMT-Intermediate classes were held in 1977, with the first IV started in the field in May of 1978. Ambulance call report documentation was initiated in January of 1979, and MAST equipment was placed on Buncombe County units later in the year. In October of 1980, esophageal obturator airway instruction was completed and the airways were placed on the units. The name of the department was changed to Buncombe County Emergency Medical Service to reflect the statewide trend for improved field patient care. On November 20, 1979, the Buncombe County EMS Advisory Committee suggested to the Board of Commissioners that an EMT- Paramedic program be initiated in the county. In early 1981, classes began at Asheville-Buncombe Technical College. After personnel completed clinical experience with Henderson and McDowell counties, four of seven intermediate units were changed to paramedic units on April 5, 1982. All other units have since been upgraded.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Harvard graduate Brent Suter (Cincinnati, Ohio) played a big role in helping the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers claim the Midwest League (A) championship last week.
Suter, a 31st round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2012 draft, threw three hitless innings of relief to help the Timber Rattlers beat the Fort Wayne TinCaps, 4-2, in Game 4 of the circuit's best-of-5 Championship Series.
Suter relieved winning pitcher Chad Thompson to start the bottom of the seventh and the recently-promoted left-hander started mowing down TinCaps and didn't stop until the championship was won.
He retired the side in order in the seventh and the eighth and started out the ninth with a ground ball out. He then got a pair of strikeouts, including the final out by a called strike three on a 2-2 pitch to send his teammates into celebration. All told, Suter had three strikeouts to finish a solid rookie campaign that saw him promoted from rookie ball just in time for postseason play.
Wisconsin and Fort Wayne split the first two games of the Championship Series, before the Timber Rattlers won Game 3 on Saturday, 10-8, and sealed the title at Parkview Field.
In three appearances with Wisconsin, Suter struck out eight batters in 8.2 innings with two saves while allowing just two earned runs for a 2.08 ERA.
The pennant is the first for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. The last Midwest League Championship by an Appleton Professional Baseball team was won in 1984 by the Appleton Foxes. The Foxes joined the Midwest League in 1962 and won eight pennants (1964, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1978, 1982, 1983, & 1984). Now, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers have a pennant of their own to fly over Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium.

Are we really under cyber attack?
Many of us can discuss the latest sports news with vigor, debate the crazy lifestyles of our favorite celebrities, and argue the fine points of politics and public policy, but we are often blissfully ignorant about how our dependence on the Internet has made us vulnerable to attacks that can close our banks, disrupt our communications, shut down our utilities, and otherwise destroy much of what makes our life possible in the 21st century.
Buried in the news headlines over recent days are stories about how such icons as The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post and Twitter have been successfully attacked by hackers. In the recent Wall Street Journal hack attack, according to AFP reporter Rob Lever, "The Wall Street Journal has become the second major US media organization to accuse Chinese hackers of targeting its computers in an apparent effort to spy on journalists covering China. The announcement on Thursday came a day after The New York Times said hackers, possibly connected to China's military, had infiltrated its computers in response to its expose of the vast wealth amassed by a top leader's family. The Journal reported that the attacks were "for the apparent purpose of monitoring the newspaper's China coverage" and suggested that Chinese spying on U.S. media has become a "widespread phenomenon."
Also on Febr. 1, Washington Post reporters Craig Timberg and Ellen Nakashima wrote, "A sophisticated cyber attack targeted The Washington Post in an operation that resembled intrusions against other major American news organizations and that company officials suspect was the work of Chinese hackers, people familiar with the incident said. Post company officials confirmed the broad outlines of the infiltration, which was discovered in 2011 and first reported by an independent cyber security blog on Friday. But they did not elaborate on the circumstances, the duration of the intrusion or its apparent origin."
Twitter, a major social media network with over 200 million current users, was also the victim of a cyber attack, according to a Feb. 2 Associated Press story by Terry Collins and Anne D'Innocenzio. In this report, they wrote, "Twitter said in a blog post on Friday (Feb. 1) it detected attempts to gain access to its user data earlier in the week. It shut down one attack moments after it was detected. But Twitter discovered that the attackers may have stolen user names, e-mail addresses and encrypted passwords belonging to 250,000 users they describe as a very small percentage of users. The company reset the pilfered passwords and sent e-mails advising the affected users."
In the days and few weeks prior to the high profile newspaper and Twitter attacks, there were countless attacks on major banks, financial institutions, power companies and other components of our critical infrastructure. In the recent "Gozi Trojan" case, a small group of eastern European cyber thieves infected over a million computers with the Gozi Trojan Virus. This virus started stealing online banking information in 2007 and remained almost undetectable by most security utilities until 2012, which resulted in millions of dollars in banking losses over a five year period, making it, according to a New York U.S. Attorney, "... one of the most financially destructive computer viruses in history. These cyber criminals employed countless "money mules," mostly innocent and out-of-work individuals, who were recruited through work-at-home job scams. These money mules helped the cyber thieves launder stolen funds.
In addition to the more traditional cyber crooks, as in the New York Times and Washington Post cases above, cyber espionage is widely used to gather intelligence for political, industrial, and military purposes. In terms of political espionage, the recent attacks on the major newspapers might have been used to intimidate Chinese nationals who want to talk to western media outlets. Mark Clayton, in a Christian Science Monitor article Feb. 1, said, "How large is China's campaign to control, intimidate? China's apparent motives in infiltrating major news organizations, experts say, are to anticipate and respond to negative coverage of the country, and, perhaps no less importantly, to deter Chinese citizens from speaking openly with Western news organizations." In terms of industrial espionage, Richard Clarke, the former cyber security and cyber terrorism advisor for the White House, said in a March 2012 interview in Smithsonian Magazine, that, "China has hacked every major U.S. company." According to Clarke, every major company in the U.S. is regularly infiltrated by Chinese hackers employed by the Chinese government to steal research and development data, plans and information. According to Clarke, "My greatest fear is that, rather than having a cyber-Pearl Harbor event, we will instead have this death of a thousand cuts. Where we lose our competitiveness by having all of our research and development stolen by the Chinese."
Sadly, this cyber industrial espionage also has strong military and national security implications. According to a story in the Wall Street Journal, "Computer Spies Breach Fighter-Jet Project," U.S. officials have known at least since 2009 that Chinese cyber spies have " ... broken into the Pentagon's $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project — the Defense Department's costliest weapons program ever. ... Similar incidents have also breached the Air Force's air-traffic-control system in recent months, these people say. In the case of the fighter-jet program, the intruders were able to copy and siphon off several terabytes of data related to design and electronics systems, officials say, potentially making it easier to defend against the craft." The result of this cyber espionage on our national secrets can be seen in the newly released Chinese and Russian fighter aircraft that were explicitly designed to defeat our latest generations of fighter aircraft. According to an article in Bloomberg, "China's new stealth fighter likely was designed 'to counter' the U.S. F-22 and F-35 jets, according to U.S. Navy intelligence analysts."
In the same Wall Street Journal story about the Chinese cyber spies stealing fighter aircraft designs is a chilling statement: "The latest intrusions provide new evidence that a battle is heating up between the U.S. and potential adversaries over the data networks that tie the world together. The revelations follow a recent Wall Street Journal report that computers used to control the U.S. electrical-distribution system, as well as other infrastructure, have also been infiltrated by spies abroad." Other, more recent reports indicate that China is greatly enhancing its cyber attack abilities to launch a devastating cyber attack on an adversary (the United States?) by shutting down its infrastructure using technical "cyber" methods rather than more traditional and violent methods.
Be careful to listen to snippets in the national and global news about such things as cyber attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, such as happened in the recent past when the Stuxnet computer worm wrecked Siemens centrifuges. Clarke has written about attacks on the electric power grid, trains and the stock exchanges; listen in the news for more stories about this continuing attack. Almost daily, there are news stories about "denial of service" attacks that can effectively shut down the Internet servers used by banks, credit card payment gateways, and the name servers that direct Internet traffic. In an April 2009 story, "Electricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies," the Wall Street Journal reported that China and Russia had infiltrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national security officials. Think about this the next time you hear about a major blackout for reasons other than a weather event such as a hurricane.
With the small sample of information and sources referenced above, and greater awareness of the need to listen to contemporary news stories about cyber attacks and other cyber threats, it should be evident that we are indeed now engaged in a cyber war and have been for several years. Do we really have anything to worry about? Sleep well tonight.
For anyone who would like to discuss this content or obtain more information, I will be presenting this information to the February meeting of the Golden Triangle PC Club on Sunday, Feb. 17, at 2:30 p.m. in the Community Room on the second floor of Howell Furniture, 6095 Folsom Road (just west of Dowlen Road) in Beaumont. The event is free and open to the public.

Black Snow
Melville House, 2013 - 200 pagina's
A new edition of Bulgakov's blistering satire about the great Russian director Stanislavski, inventor of "Method acting," part of Melville House's reissue of the Bulgakov backlist in Michael Glenny's celebrated translations.
In 1926, a play based on Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The White Guard premiered at the prestigious Moscow Arts Theatre and it was an immediate and long-lasting success that laid the ground for the rest of Bulgakov's career as a playwright and novelist.
But it was not an entirely positive experience, and this novel, written near the end of Bulgakov's life, skewers the theatrical fraternity he had been a part of for many years, and the Stalinist system of censorship that suppressed his work.
Black Snow is the story of Maxudov, a young playwright whose play is chosen, almost at random, to be performed by the legendary Independent Theatre, and the chaos that ensues. The two co-directors of the theater, modeled after Stanislavski and his co-director, battle to control the production, star actresses throw daily fits, and with each rehearsal the chances of the play ever being ready to perform recedes. The ultimate backstage novel and a brilliant satire from one of the greatest modern Russian writers.

It is not only a reflection on me that I managed to read 30 or 40 pages of this book before realizing that I had read it before, more than fifteen years ago, translated under the title Black Snow. It is inconceivable that something similar could happen with even the first two paragraphs Volledige review lezen
LibraryThing ReviewGebruikersrecensie - HadriantheBlind - LibraryThing
Bulgakov knows how to write a fine novel - this one all about the hilariously bizarre and frustrating world of stage plays. It ends very abruptly, but the author was about to die. A shame, but it can be more than excused. A wonderfully funny book. Volledige review lezen

It's like a real life Rocky and Apollo, except these guys are named Brandon and Aaron, this fight is not for the glory of the heavyweight championship of the world/redemption and nobody, nobody, loves his girl as much as Rocky loves Adrian.
Both men eventually got up but the match was officially ruled a no-contest. The folks over at SportsGrid have a longer video where it sounds like there will be a rematch in June. Good luck topping two knockouts.

Air raid kills at least 6 in northwestern Syria
BEIRUT (AP) — A makeshift bomb dropped from a government helicopter killed at least six people, including two children, in a rebel-held area in northern Syria on Sunday, activists said.
President Bashar Assad's forces have used so-called barrel bombs to devastating effect against opposition areas in Syria. The crude weapons — barrels packed with explosives and scraps of metal and pushed out of helicopters — cannot be precisely targeted, and have caused widespread civilian casualties.
Assad's air force tends to use them to push out rebels from contested areas, but to also terrorize civilians and turn them against the fighters in their midst.
Saturday's air raid took place in the town of Sarmeen in the northwestern province of Idlib, activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at six, but said that number was expected to rise. The Local Coordination Committees activist group and the pro-rebel Shahba Press Agency also reported the airstrike, but provided higher death tolls.
It's common to have conflicting death tolls in the immediate aftermath of bombings.
An amateur video posted online showing the aftermath of the attack, the crushed bodies of men and at least one child were visible amid twisted wreckage, splattered blood, and burning tires.
"Where is his head?" shrieked one man as they pulled a corpse from the wreckage.
The video appeared genuine and corresponded with AP reporting of the event.
Activists say the airstrike occurred during clashes in the area between rebels and pro-government forces.
Another airstrike Saturday hit the northern town of Marea, killing a widowed woman and her 7-year-old daughter, said a Marea-based activist who uses the name Abu al-Hassan. The woman's husband was killed in fighting two years ago, Marea said.
The couple's surviving four-year-old son is now an orphan, he added.
Marea and other activists said government forces were stepping up their use of the crude bombs against rebel-held areas in rural parts of northern Syria.
Marea, and another activist who uses the name Abu Raed, said the intensified campaign began after rebels from an array of different Islamic groups began attacking government forces several weeks ago at several points around the northern city of Aleppo.
The attack has snubbed an advance by Assad forces toward rebel-held areas of eastern Aleppo.
While pro-Assad forces have been slowly wresting back opposition areas in other parts of Syria, rebels have a strong hold on positions along the northern border with Turkey because it is an easy conduit for fighters and weapons.
Syria's war, now entering its fourth year, has killed over 150,000 people, displaced more than six million and destroyed the country's social fabric and economy.
In Washington, the State Department said Secretary of State John Kerry called Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the two discussed the international mission to remove chemical weapons from Syria.
While noting that these efforts have resulted in the removal of 92 percent of Syria's declared chemical weapons stockpile, Kerry stressed the need to complete the removal process.
He also expressed strong concern about the reports of a recent attack using a toxic chemical, likely chlorine, and told Lavrov the United States plans to continue consultations with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons as well as the United Nations about these reports in an effort to determine the facts.
On Wednesday, the U.N. Security Council called for an investigation over allegations that government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent weeks and months. Syria's government has denied the accusations.

Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim Schott U.S.AStyle: 798 Material: Melton WoolDescriptionOur 31 inch classic wool naval pea coat comes in 32 oz melton wool. This slim fitting stylish update of a classic features leather trim details at the seams and a red satin lining. This is a small cut jacket we recommend 1 size larger for a tight fit and 2 sizes larger for a loose fit. Made in U.S.A.CUSTOMER REVIEWSExcellent PeacoatI was looking for a heavy Peacoat for these cold NJ winters for about a year now. I searched at least 50 different websites and about 10 different stores in-person and I could never find a peacoat with a heavy weight and a nice slim-fit. Everything that I found either was slim-fit and low in weight or "blocky" fit with good weight.I happened upon Schott NYC and I was surprised at the selection of Peacoats that I could choose from. The History of the company had me sold on the brand itself and I knew immediately that I found what I had been looking for.For sizing information; I measure as a 38.5" chest (6'0 and 170lbs) and I usually wear a size 40 slim suit jacket. I was told by Jerri at Schott NYC that size 42 might be best for me since I usually wear sweaters and long-sleeve shirts in the winter under my coats (not too many people I know wear short-sleeve T-shirts in the winter). The size 42 740C arrived only 2 days after I placed my order (I live in NJ, less than an hour away from Schott NYC), and the fit was just right. The sleeves, chest, and torso are all still very fitted. The 740C with the leather trim and the slim fit has a nice stylish look to it while still remaining true to the classic look of a military peacoat. I must say that the color of this coat is a lot closer to Black than it is to Navy and for me that was a good thing. You can only detect the midnight blue color if a bright spotlight is shining down on you. It is a very heavy and somewhat stiff coat (in a good structured type of way) that I'm sure will break in a bit more after a few uses. The leather is a very nice touch and adds to the styling without being too loud. I have about a bit of room with a sweater on and the coat still maintains that "V-type-structured-fit" that you can see in the pictures. I would say that everyone would definitely want to get at least one size larger than what they would normally wear in a suite jacket if you have a "normal" build type. If you are a bit irregular, then you may want to give Schott NYC a call just to make sure. The Customer Service is one of the best in the business.Overall, this is one of the BEST coats that I have ever owned. Quality is top-notch and the fit couldn't be better. It's worth Every Penny. Published: Sat, 12/3/2011 by KareemSolid CoatThis is my first Schott coat and I could not be more please how much it has lived up to the companies reputation for putting out a solid product. I went with this model Pea because of the red satin lining and slim cut for a modern version of a classic coat.I could have done without the leather trim (limited to the outer pocket slits, seams along the length of both sleeves and an area under the back collar), however it doesn't standout dramatically so it doesn't present too much of a problem.There are two angled pockets inline with your lower ribcage which are not visible in the images on the site as well as two pockets on either side of the breast on the inside. The outer pockets are not terribly deep, enough to stuff your hands in but I would be weary about the safety a pair of heavy gloves or your wallet being stored in them. The inner pockets on the other hand are deep and will safely hold your wallet and cell phone. There is another pair of buttons under the lapels which will allow you to button the coat up all the way to the top to help keep out the cold.Right out of the box the coat was a little stiff, a testament to the weight of the melton wool used in its construction; I believe that the leather trim through the length of the sleeve also contributes to this. After a few wears the coat breaks in nicely, I find that the heavy melton actually starts conforming to the shape of your body.I am consistently a 36-short dress jacket and I bought a 38. With a heavy sweater the jacket is almost a little too snug. You may want to move up two sizes if you think you will be doing the jacket/sweater thing a lot. As stated throughout, this is a slim fitting cut - slim throughout, chest, torso, arms.The temperature has dropped close to 0*C around here accompanied by a few windy days. It seems to have held up well keeping me warm and cutting the wind. The true winter test is yet to come...A final comment and testament to the solid craftsmanship that is Schott. The buttons on this jacket have not loosened a bit since I first put it on. This was after going through the "break-in" period and now trying to button up with added layers under the jacket. I can't tell you how I am used to reattaching buttons on pants, shirts and jackets after a few wears because of the way they were first sewn on at the factory. There is no indication that I will have to be reattaching buttons to this jacket anytime soon. Published: Fri, 11/18/2011 by M MarThe best peacoat out thereI just received my jacket today, and I was completely blown away by it's fit, look, and warmness. I wear a size 40 and I ordered a size 42: couldn't fit any better. Just so you know, this is a black jacket, not a 'navy' jacket. The lining also happens to be awesome. I tried on a $1200 Dolce and Gabana peacoat at my local Nordstrom a few weeks ago, and it doesn't come close to my new schott pea coat. Well done, Schott. The next time I need a coat, I know where I'll be ordering it from.A side note: Schott was sold out of this jacket for some time, and I finally got desperate and called around NYC for it at other retailers. Franks Sporting Goods had the jacket, which I was very happy to discover, however the service I received from them was horrible. I will never buy from them again. SO! Order from this online store if your item is available! Published: Wed, 1/5/2011 by Nicholas WilligLook closely at what you buy, this one is flawless!I don't usually write reviews however my experience with the staff and products at Schott NYC really motivated me. This jacket is stunning.The cut is small so size up 1 size and it will still be a slim cut. It weighs about 2 lbs more than any box store pea cost you can find. Thick wool that is in fact navy, however extremely dark and appears black in indoor settings. It's impeccably lined with leather, and a red satin inside. The satin is especially nice since it will not rub/pill any sweaters you wear underneath. The photo shows the sleeve reined with leather at an angle. This I'd because the jackets sleeves are ergonomically cut and will give you great range of motion. It's an extremely stiff jacket but breaks in after 5-6 wearings. Nate and the crew there were extremely helpful and took time to show me the shop. You can see there's pride there and something you just don't find at your local box brand "luxury" store. Having MADE IN THE USA on the coat speaks volumes, and I know where my money went. If your considering buying a JCREW, or Theory, or whatever other fashion brand for the same price or more... You should really take the chance on something unique and with a history. I'm one of many here that will be a Schott customer for life. Published: Fri, 12/27/2013 by Blake BedoyaFantastic Pea CoatI have wanted a warm pea coat for quite a while. The design is a classic and they just look so good. Being in Australia I have searched everywhere with no success. I did my internet research extensively and kept coming back to the Schott 740c. All reviews said the same things, quality USA made product, stylish and warm. My wife was concerned with me spending so much money on an internet purchase without trying it on. Jerri from Schott customer service came to the rescue and emailed me a sizing spreadsheet. I went one size up as recommended and couldn't be happier. If you wear a lot of layers under it I would suggest 2 sizes up. Thanks for a GREAT product. Published: Tue, 4/30/2013 by Martin DimitroffExcellence in qualityThis is my first piece of clothing ordered from SchottNYC. Just received this coat. I ordered on 3/14/13 and received it 3/19/13. The coat came well packaged, in plastic on a hanger. Coat: The description on this coat does hold true in that it is a small cut, so order a couple sizes bigger than you normally would. I'm 5'10", 175lbs. I ordered a size 42 and it fits just right. I probably won't be able to wear any bulky sweaters underneath it though. The sleeves especially are snug, so order accordingly. Even though the color of this coat is labeled Navy, it's practically black, which I like! One can't tell it's Navy unless in very bright light. Very well-made, quality coat. And, of course, the 'Made In USA' tag makes me even happier with it. I'll purchase from SchottNYC again. Published: Tue, 3/19/2013 by EricB.Great Coat!This peacoat exceeds my expectations. When I first ordered it I was looking for a black coat but this one looked so dark blue I figured I would try it. There is no way you can tell the coat is dark navy unless you really look at the fabric.As far as functionality the coat is excellent. It's very warm seems to be made to last. The sizing is a little small. I am 6'1", 190 with a 34" waist. I typically wear a 44 suit coat but I took the advice of other reviewers and got a 46 and I'm glad I did. My only complaint with the fit is it's a little bulky in the body for a slim fit coat. I will have to get the coat brought in a couple inches on the sides but I was expecting that; there is no way one coat will custom fit everyone.Otherwise the coat is very stylish and still maintains the perfect amount of classiness. It can be worn casually and with business/evening attire.One last thing, the service at Schott NYC is excellent. I ordered the coat and it was on my doorstep two days later. I feel confident if I had a problem with the product the company would resolve it. USA company and USA made, very pleased. Published: Fri, 2/8/2013 by D. HallThe Perfect Pea Coat!I bought this pea coat as a gift for my son, and he is very happy with the quality and fit. Even though it has a slimmer cut and a flashier lining than the 740, this pea coat still has the same classic appeal. Initially, I was worried that the leather detailing might be too much, but it is actually very subtle, and really compliments the coat. I looked at many pea coats, and thought this was by far the best looking coat. The fact that it is made right here in the United States made it even more perfect.I originally bought him the Classic 740, but then thought that the heavy quilted liner would make the coat too warm for him. I called Schott to see what else they had available, and spoke to Don King (yes, the same name as the boxing promoter!). Don could not have been more helpful; he spent a good half hour going over the different styles, and helped me decide on the 740C. Don told me to contact the place we bought the original 740 (Princeton Army and Navy, who also were wonderful to deal with!) so they could order the 740C for us. In the 740, a size 40 fit just right, but we followed the advice about the 740C given on the Schott website, and ordered the 42 for a perfect fit.If you are looking for a great looking pea coat that has a little extra flair, look no further. My son now has a classic pea coat that is both stylish and warm. I know he will enjoy wearing this coat for many years to come. Published: Fri, 12/14/2012 by mariaExpect compliments with this one.Let me first say that this is probably the best looking jacket I've ever owned. I've had it a few weeks and have already had several people comment on it. The materials are heavy and it has that "will last forever" feel to it. The wool is top quality as is the silk lining, and the cloth inside the pockets is of a very heavy grade. I did however have a few niggling issues I will mention here.Firstly, as others have said, this coat fits small in the arms and shoulders. I am 6' and fairly athletic/slim at about 160 lbs. My chest is 40" and my waist is 33". My arms are not large by any means. I was advised that a 42 would be a snug fit while a 44 would provide a looser fit. Luckily I went with the 44. While it isn't "too tight" the arms and shoulders are about as snug as you'd want to go and anything other than a thin sweater and I'm not getting my arms in. A side effect of this can be that the red silk lining gets slightly pushed out past the end of the sleeve cuff and you have to kind of tuck it in. Not a huge deal but if you have muscled/large arms you will definitely want to try before you buy. As I said, my arms are fairly slender and these sleeves are quite snug on me, even with the 44. The rest of the jacket fits nicely but isn't really tapered like the hourglass shape shown on the webpage. Not baggy, but not tight...just about right actually.The other issue I had was that 4 of the buttons had threads coming loose after only a week or so of normal use. I contacted Schott and they took steps to make it right even though I live in Japan. Great customer service there in my opinion. It took a few days to have my order shipped but once it left Schott it was at my door in Japan within 3 days...again great service.This jacket is also quite versatile and with the collar up and all the buttons done up it's super-warm even in a frigid wind which is good for guys like me who aren't too into scarves. Obviously you wouldn't take this on an Arctic expedition but so far I've been out with the temps close to 0 and been okay with a dress shirt and light sweater underneath.Overall I am very happy with this jacket and it looks miles better than any of the other 'traditional' peacoats I tried on. It's just different enough to get noticed but still sticks to traditional lines. If you're looking for a high-quality peacoat that really stands out then the 740c might be for you. As I mentioned, you might however want to try one on before you decide on sizing. Published: Fri, 12/7/2012 by drsWow!This is a beautiful jacket--what a quality piece! The wool is thick and wind-stopping, the lining is very nice, and the leather detail is cool. Schott recommended to size up one so I purchased a 46; the fit is right on, slim and fitted through the shoulders, chest and sleeves, but not tight. Could have gone up for more room, but I find the fit is perfect. I can easily wear it with a tshirt and sweater underneath. I can't tell if the color is black or the deepest blue I've ever seen. I'm happy either way! Published: Fri, 12/16/2011 by Travis SmithGreat quality, fit description was misleading...I'm sad and frustrated. That said, the quality of this product is fantastic. While it's a synthetic/wool blend and not as soft as cashmere/wool blends, the added synthetic fiber will only make the coat that much warmer. The images, specifically the rear image shows that this coat would fit very well for a dramatic V frame with a large drop at the waist. I wear a 44 in suits and was instructed to get a 48 in this coat based on emailed measurements of my figure. The coat does run small, absolutely. My shoulders fit perfectly at the 48 but there is virtually no fitting to the rest of the coat. It is a boxy traditional fit. I'm swimming in it. I love the product for styling and quality and am therefore forced to spend what's likely to be around $100 to have it altered to fit the shape pictured in the photo. Schott didn't have any in stock directly, so I called all of their local sellers. I was infatuated with this coat for a month and then finally found it at a Manhattan store. I wonder if after size 46 they're just cut for rounder shapes or something. I hate having to write a review like this, especially since I never even bother to review products, but the photos are a poor representation of the fit of this coat. Again, the quality and styling are well worth the price. The fit though isn't for an athletic or trim build. Published: Fri, 11/11/2011 by Kyle TAwesomeAs far as a pea coat goes, this is probably the best slim-fit one I've encountered. I've had a few Schott coats and have always been happy with the solid construction. All of the coats I've bought from them so far have been USA or Canadian manufactured. Their customer service people are the best in online purchasing I've experienced. The first thing I noticed putting it on is that the lining is amazing, red satin. I actually got a compliment on it while I was putting it on at work. Who gets a compliment on a coat lining? Great job Schott. Design with the leather is another a nice touch that gives a classic coat a modern look.Someone mentioned the coat is black, it's not, but it's really really close. In most lighting it does look black, but if you're under some lights like white fluorescent you can tell it's navy. Like a midnight blue that's right next to black.For sizing, I'm generally a smaller/slim fit suit 38S (5'10" 150lbs) and got a size 38. The coat fits snug, actually just bordering on being too tight for layers under it in winter. The arms are also snug but I like the overall fitted feel and wouldn't change a thing. I'd call them if you're border on size. This is heavier wool than Schott's slim fitting wool pea coat and a smaller fit. If you're accustomed to extremely cold winters I would say it would do well for general commuter exposure 15-20F and up to where it may be too warm over about 40F. Lower than 15 or 20F I'd recommend going with something more designed for severe cold.In all, worth it. Published: Fri, 11/11/2011 by Kurt MEXCELLENT!!Truly stunning, fits well, quality is first class. Cut small, I called customer support (also excellent) and they recommended a size 46, which is 4 sizes larger than what I usually wear. Published: Tue, 10/19/2010 by jon r browningThe best Naval Pea CoatOne thing, It's the best naval pea i've ever seen and now i've got it, it's a excellent manifacture. Good job SCHOTT.

Office 2007: Sharing Data with the Office Clipboard
Cutting, copying, and pasting data may be handy within the same file, but Office 2007 also gives you the ability to cut, copy, and paste data between different programs, such as copying a chart from Excel and pasting it into a PowerPoint presentation.
Using the Office Clipboard
When you cut or copy any data, Windows stores it in a special part of memory called the Clipboard. This Windows Clipboard can only hold one item at a time, so Office 2007 comes with its own Clipboard called the Office Clipboard, which can store up to 24 items.
Whereas the Windows Clipboard works with any Windows program (such as Microsoft Paint or WordPerfect), the Office Clipboard works only with Office 2007 programs (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook). To store data on the Office Clipboard, you just need to use the Cut or Copy command, and Office 2007 automatically stores your data on the Office Clipboard.
The two big advantages of the Office Clipboard are
- You can store up to 24 items.
- The Windows Clipboard can store only one item.
- You can select what you want to paste from the Clipboard.
- The Windows Clipboard lets you paste only the last item cut or copied.
Viewing and pasting items off the Office Clipboard
After you use the Cut or Copy command at least once, your data gets stored on the Office Clipboard. You can then view the Office Clipboard and choose which data you want to paste from the Clipboard into your file.
To view the Office Clipboard and paste items from it, follow these steps:
1. Move the cursor to the spot where you want to paste an item from the Office Clipboard.
2. Click the Office Clipboard icon.
The Office Clipboard pane appears. The Office Clipboard also displays an icon that shows you the program where the data came from, such as Word or PowerPoint.
3. Click the item you want to paste.
Office 2007 pastes your chosen item into the file where you moved the cursor in Step 1.
4. Click the Close box of the Office Clipboard window to tuck it out of sight.
If you click the Paste All button, you can paste every item on the Office Clipboard into your file.
Deleting items from the Office Clipboard
You can add up to 24 items to the Office Clipboard. The moment you add a 25th item, Office 2007 deletes the oldest item from the Office Clipboard to make room for the new cut or copied item.
You can also manually delete items from the Office Clipboard as well, by following these steps:
1. Click the Office Clipboard icon.
The Office Clipboard appears.
2. Move the mouse pointer over an item on the Office Clipboard.
A downward-pointing arrow appears to the right. A pop-up menu appears.
3. Click Delete.
Office 2007 deletes your chosen item.
4. Click the Close box to tuck the Office Clipboard out of sight.
If you click the Clear All button, you can delete every item currently stored on the Office Clipboard.
Make sure you really want to delete an item from the Office Clipboard because after you delete it, you can't retrieve it (and neither can Fido).

CAIRO — More than 200,000 people thronged Cairo's central Tahrir Square, protesting against Egypt's Islamist president Tuesday in an opposition show of strength, as the standoff over Mohammed Morsi's assertion of near-absolute powers escalated into the biggest challenge yet to his and the Muslim Brotherhood's rule.
The massive, flag-waving, chanting crowd in the iconic plaza rivaled the size of some of the large protests of last year's uprising that drove autocrat Hosni Mubarak from office. The same chants used against Mubarak were now turned against Egypt's first freely elected leader.
CAIRO — More than 200,000 people thronged Cairo's central Tahrir Square, protesting against Egypt's Islamist president Tuesday in an opposition show of strength, as the standoff over Mohammed Morsi's assertion of near-absolute powers escalated into the biggest challenge yet to his and the Muslim Brotherhood's rule.
The massive, flag-waving, chanting crowd in the iconic plaza rivaled the size of some of the large protests of last year's uprising that drove autocrat Hosni Mubarak from office. The same chants used against Mubarak were now turned against Egypt's first freely elected leader.
"The people want to bring down the regime," and "erhal, erhal" — Arabic for "leave, leave," rang across the square.
Protests in Tahrir and several other cities Tuesday were sparked by edicts issued by Morsi last week that effectively neutralized the judiciary, the last branch of government he does not control. But it turned into a broader outpouring of anger against Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, which opponents say have used election victories to monopolize power, squeeze out rivals, and dictate a new, Islamist constitution, while doing little to solve Egypt's mounting economic and security woes.
Clashes broke out in several cities as Morsi opponents tried to attack offices of the Brotherhood, setting fire to at least one. At least 100 people were injured when protesters and Brotherhood members protecting their office pelted each other with stones and firebombs in the Nile Delta city of Mahalla el-Kobra.
"Power has exposed the Brotherhood. We discovered their true face," said Laila Salah, a housewife in the Tahrir protest who said she voted for Morsi in this summer's presidential election. After Mubarak, she said, Egyptians would no longer consent to an autocrat.
"It's like a wife whose husband was beating her and then she divorces him and becomes free," she said. "If she remarries she'll never accept another day of abuse."
Gehad el-Haddad, a senior adviser to the Brotherhood and its political party, said Morsi would not back down on his edicts. "We are not rescinding the declaration," he told The Associated Press.
That sets the stage for a drawn-out battle between the two sides that could throw the nation into greater turmoil. Protest organizers on a stage in the square called for another mass rally on Friday. If the Brotherhood responds with mass rallies of its own, as some of its leaders have hinted, it would raise the prospect of greater violence after a series of clashes between the two camps in recent days.
A Tweet by the Brotherhood warned that if the opposition was able to bring out 200,000-300,000 "they should brace for millions in support" or Morsi.
Another flashpoint could come Sunday, when the constitutional court is due to rule on whether to dissolve the assembly writing the new constitution, which is dominated by the Brotherhood and Islamist allies. Morsi's edicts explicitly banned the courts from disbanding the panel. If the court defies him and rules anyway, it would be a direct challenge that could spill over into the streets.
"Then we are in the face of the challenge between the supreme court and the presidency," said Nasser Amin, head of the Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession. "We are about to enter a serious conflict" on both the legal and street level, he said.
Morsi and his supporters say the decrees were necessary to prevent the judiciary from blocking the "revolution's goals" of a transition to democracy. The courts — where many Mubarak-era judges still hold powerful posts — already disbanded the first post-Mubarak elected parliament, which was led by the Brotherhood. The judiciary has also been considering whether to dissolve both the constitutional assembly and the Islamist-led upper house of parliament.
Morsi's decrees Thursday banned the judiciary from doing so and gave any decisions issued by Morsi immunity from judicial review. Morsi also gave himself sweeping powers to take action to prevent threats to the revolution, stability or state institutions, which critics say are tantamount to emergency laws. The powers would last until the constitution is approved and parliamentary elections are held, not likely before spring 2013.
Opponents say the decrees turn Morsi — who narrowly won last summer's election with just over 50 percent of the vote — into a new dictator, given that he holds not only executive power but also legislative, after the lower house of parliament was dissolved.
Tuesday's turnout was an unprecedented show of strength by the mainly liberal and secular opposition, which has been divided and uncertain amid the rise to power of the Brotherhood over the past year. The crowds were of all stripes, including many first-time protesters.
"Suddenly Morsi is issuing laws and becoming the absolute ruler, holding all powers in his hands," said protester Mona Sadek, a 31-year-old engineering graduate who wears the Islamic veil, a hallmark of piety. "Our revolt against the decrees became a protest against the Brotherhood as well."
Raafat Magdi, an engineer, said, "We want to change this whole setting. The Brotherhood hijacked the revolution."
"People woke up to his (Morsi's) mistakes, and in any new elections they will get no votes," said Magdi, who was among a crowd of around 10, 000 marching from the Cairo district of Shubra to Tahrir to the beat of drums and chants against the Brotherhood. Reform leader Mohammed ElBaradei led the march.
Many said they were determined to push ahead with the protests until Morsi retreats. A major concern among the protesters was that Islamists would use the decree's protection of the constitutional assembly to drive through their vision for the next charter, with a heavy emphasis on implementing Shariah, or Islamic law. The assembly has been plagued with controversy, and more than two dozen of its 100 members have quit in recent days to protest Islamist control.
"Next Friday will be decisive," protester Islam Bayoumi said of the upcoming planned rally. "If people maintain the same pressure and come in large numbers, they could manage to press the president and rescue the constitution."
A fellow protester, Saad Salem Nada, said of Morsi, "I am a Muslim and he made me hate Muslims because of the dictatorship in the name of religion. In the past, we had one Mubarak, now we have hundreds."
Even as the crowds swelled in Tahrir, clashes erupted nearby between several hundred young protesters throwing stones and police firing tear gas on a street off Tahrir leading to the U.S. Embassy. Clouds of tear gas hung close to the ground at the area. Clashes have been taking place at the site for several days, fueled by anger over police abuses, separately from the crisis over Morsi.
A photographer working for the AP, Ahmed Gomaa, was heavily beaten by police using sticks while covering the clashes Tuesday. Police took his equipment, and Gomaa was taken to hospital for treatment.
Rival rallies by Morsi opponents and supporters turned into brief clashes in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, then anti-Morsi protesters broke into the local office of the Muslim Brotherhood, throwing furniture out the windows and trying unsuccessfully to set fire to it. Protesters also set fire to Brotherhood offices in the city of Mansoura.
Morsi's supporters canceled a massive rally they had planned for Tuesday in Cairo, citing the need to "defuse tension." Morsi's supporters say more than a dozen of their offices have been ransacked or set ablaze since Friday. Some 5,000 demonstrated in the southern city of Assiut in support of Morsi's decrees, according to witnesses there.
So far, there was little sign of a compromise in the crisis. On Monday, Morsi met with the nation's top judges and tried to win their acceptance of his decrees. But the move was dismissed by many in the opposition and the judiciary as providing no real concessions.
Saad Emara, a senior Muslim Brotherhood member, said Morsi will not make any concessions, especially after the surge of violence and assaults on Muslim Brotherhood offices.
Emara ccused the opposition "of resorting to violence and with a political cover," claiming that former ruling party and Mubarak-era businessmen are hiring thugs to attack Brotherhood offices with the opposition's blessing.
"The story now is that the civilian forces are playing with fire. This is dangerous scene."

And yes, Sarah is still alive…
I haven't been writing much lately on my blog (in case you hadn't noticed the utter lack of updates). I took over as Acting Director for the San Rafael Public Library 15 months ago and as Director 9 months ago. Before that time, I was averaging 20-30 posts a month. In the last four months I've posted twice. That makes me sad.
I still am active daily on Twitter and Facebook, but I have been so burned out by work and personal life stress that thinking about libraries after I get home is (sorry to say) the absolute last thing I want to do. I've also cut way back on my speaking engagements–down from 44 in 2011 to 25 in 2012, and looking forward it looks to be around 10 for 2013. Sorry kids–I'm tired from my day job and real life. The limitless power source that was my professional engagement has apparently found its limit.
What motivated me to post today was someone asking about a follow-up to the stalker post that I wrote on Halloween 2011. I was asked–Are things better? Have things changed? Are people less creepy now and leaving you alone?
Sadly, no. Since I wrote that post I have received:
- several more unwanted advances and "touches" at conferences (including a drunk librarian in underwear only knocking on my hotel room door), which is part of why I dialed back my speaking engagements – I'm so sick of this shit
- a marriage proposal from a fellow librarian (who I don't know from Adam) who started it off with the very romantic "Now that you're finally divorced and everything…"
- two hand-written mailed death threats at work
- numerous anonymous bouquets of flowers on my home doorstep, some with creepy stalker-ish poetry, which I traced back to…
- a local stalker who eventually revealed himself while I was on a break outside the library, physically assaulted me, and got slapped with a restraining order after I kicked him where it counts and grabbed his wallet and ID when he was on the ground to get identification
And frankly, there has been a lot of stress in my work life in the last year. The inevitable personnel and budget challenges at work, a huge uptick in illegal behavior in the library resulting in a lot of banning, a small claims lawsuit filed against the library, a patron who said he'd "bury me in paper" and then did so through numerous FOIA requests, pests and mold in the library, the facility literally falling down around us, and in general feeling that this "trial by fire new director" thing is not the best way of learning things.
So between work being insane, creepy people still making themselves seen, and an emotionally taxing personal life…yeah, I'm not writing as much, I'm not presenting as much, and I'm not as active on library issues as I used to be. I am hoping that spark will come back and I will want to start writing again. I guess this is the first step toward that.

Elizabeth Warren, hard-liner
Earlier last week at the White House, President Barack Obama tried to use his powers of persuasion on Elizabeth Warren, privately urging the consumer watchdog-turned-Massachusetts senator to back the student loan deal he was reaching with Senate leaders.
It didn't work.
Story Continued Below
On Thursday, she went to the Senate floor to attack the plan, saying it would hurt students and benefit big banks. "I think this whole system stinks. We should not go along with any plan that continues to produce profits for the government. It is wrong," Warren said.
( QUIZ: Do you know Elizabeth Warren?)
This wasn't an isolated incident. After nearly seven months in office, Warren has staked out firm ground to the left of the president and Senate Democratic leaders. She has called for prosecuting the actors in the financial meltdown; urged Senate leaders to invoke the nuclear option to help confirm Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency she helped create; and was one of just four senators to vote against Obama's U.S. trade representative nominee, demanding more transparency on trade agreements.
For someone elected as a liberal darling after facing opposition for the CFPB job — and whose name is often seen alongside "2016" — Warren's causing some heartburn among her fellow Democrats.
So after the president's efforts failed to sway Warren, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, who represented Illinois alongside Obama, took 20 minutes on the Senate floor Thursday to push back against Warren and her student loan position. Compromise is necessary, he said, to avoid further hurting students after so many false starts on legislation to avert skyrocketing rates.
"There are some who'd like to hold out for something different. I'm with 'em," Durbin said. "But I've watched the votes here. … Face the reality."
Warren's hard-line position underscores how the Senate is growing increasingly polarized, with younger and more ideologically driven senators carrying major weight within their respective caucuses.
Indeed, Warren and several other liberal Democrats stood in the way of the bipartisan deal that had been emerging for several weeks, giving the GOP fodder to seize on the Democratic divide. The lawmakers, including Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Warren, opposed the deal because it continues a government program they think is based more on revenue than on helping students. They contend the program creates profits of $184 billion over the next 10 years.
On the floor of the Senate, she described Republicans' position on student loans as "whatever you do, make sure that the government makes $184 billion off the backs of students."
Just as she pilloried the bipartisan proposal, Republicans scoffed at her idea. Her first bill — which drew 10 co-sponsors — would let students struggling with rising college costs borrow money at the same low rate — currently less than 1 percent — as the big banks.
"I thought she was off the wall before. That's nonconventional thinking," said Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, a senior Republican on the Banking Committee. "I don't think that's a sound proposal."
"It sounds so attractive to say: 'Shouldn't students borrow at the same rate that banks do?' She just forgets to tell them that banks have to pay it back the next day," said Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), an architect of the loan deal.
"Bipartisan positions have to be somewhat similar," Burr added. "Hers is so radical in comparison to the president's plan, the House's plan, the bipartisan plan, even where Dick Durbin is."
Warren's allies say she is helping reframe the debate and pushing lawmakers to consider consumers rather than banks. In fact, Senate sources think a move toward deficit neutrality stemmed from her rhetoric against the government's profitable loan operation.

Scientists Seek Public Help To Track Black Witch Moths
AUSTIN, Texas — Due to numerous daily reported sightings from Texas and other surrounding states, 2004 appears to be a breakout year for the black witch moth (Ascalapha odorata).
"The sightings this summer have been extraordinary," Mike Quinn, TPWD entomologist said. "They are truly off the charts. I wouldn't be surprised to receive a sighting report from Canada within three weeks."
Black witch moths are some of the largest moths in the insect world and the largest in the United States. It belongs to the family Noctuidae, the largest family within the order Lepidoptera, with more than 2,900 species in the United States and Canada.
"This dark brown moth with a six-inch wingspan often startles people when first encountered as it somewhat resembles a bat," Quinn said. He also commented that the female is distinguished from the male as she has a pale median band (or stripe) running through her wings.
Black witch moths are a migratory species found abundantly throughout the New World tropics. They migrate north from Mexico through Texas primarily in June and sometimes reach destinations as far north as southern Canada and Alaska.
Quinn has been receiving sighting reports almost daily since late May and sometimes as many as five sightings in one day. Black witch moths have been reported widely in Texas as well in Arizona, California, Louisiana, Nevada, and New Mexico. Two sightings have even been reported as far north as Kansas.
Most of the people reporting these sightings commented that it was the first time they had seen such an insect after living in the same location for many years.
These moths like to perch in open garages or under the eaves of houses during the day. They are also readily attracted to house and street lights, tree sap, rotting fruit and alcohol.
Black witches are not considered pests as their smooth gray caterpillars feed on woody legumes such as mesquite, ebony, acacia and cassia. Although harmless to people, they are sometimes regarded by the superstitious as a harbinger of death. According to folk legend, when there is sickness in a house and this moth enters, the sick person dies. According to more recent superstitions, if this moth lands above your door then you will win the lottery.
To help scientists better understand this year's breakout and migratory patterns, anyone who sees any black witch moths is urged to send a detailed report about the sighting, including date, location, condition of the moth, and number of individuals seen. Please include a comment on the prevailing weather conditions as well.
Send sighting information by mail to Mike Quinn, Invertebrate Biologist, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 3000 S. I-35, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78744, e-mail email@example.com, or phone (512) 912-7059.
