Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There is nothing to buy - except maybe food. There is nothing you absolutely have to do - except maybe cook and/or eat the food.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There is nothing to buy � except maybe food.
There is nothing you absolutely have to do � except maybe cook and/or eat the food.
There are no complicated rituals to recall � except maybe those you create yourself.
I don't want to hear any nonsense about historical or political accuracy.
Thanksgiving is as American as the corniest and best of Americana can be. It is just about gathering with people you love (or at least like a lot), eating probably a fabulous feast and, best of all, gratitude.
The gratitude attitude may be corny, too, but I am personally very fond of counting blessings.
And personally, I have plenty of them. Love and work and health and plenty of good food, wine and music head my own list.
And for the 60 million or so of us in the gigantic minority called Americans with disabilities, there are plenty of blessings, as well.
Last December, I was dismayed and frankly ashamed of the moment when our U.S. senators voted against ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Fashioned after our own 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, this United Nations treaty is designed to protect the human rights of the 1 billion citizens around the world who have disabilities, including U.S. citizens when traveling internationally.
What's not to be in favor of when talking about granting the same protections worldwide that we consider significant here at home? One-hundred thirty-three countries thus far have ratified the treaty, and our being glaringly absent from that list makes little sense. President George W. Bush helped draft the treaty and Sen. Bob Dole made a profoundly moving appearance to speak in support of the treaty last December, and yet, some adult version of the telephone game misled some Republican senators to oppose it.
Happily, the treaty will come up for a vote again in the coming weeks and is gathering support on both sides of the aisle.
We can be thankful that it has returned to the Senate agenda. And we can pray that, this time, we do the right thing.
If you don't want to think much about global matters, there is plenty to feel thankful for in the disability arena on a smaller scale, as well.
In Iowa, we have one teenager with Down syndrome being hired by a large corporate entity to be a fashion model.
And in Toledo (at my own alma mater, I might add: Whitmer High School) we have another teenager with Down syndrome being named homecoming queen by her classmates.
Fifty years ago, these same kids wouldn't have been visible much at all, and certainly not celebrated by their peers.
Kids with all sorts of disabilities are now in schools across the nation, learning alongside their nondisabled peers.
And while employment rates are still far too low, we have commitments to hire more workers with disabilities on both state and national levels. Little kids who are blind now can get a letter from Santa in Braille, and little kids who are deaf can speak to Santa in American Sign Language. Sure, we still have miles to go before the promise of the ADA is fully realized, but people with disabilities have plenty of good things to celebrate.
Thursday was the official day of giving thanks, but we all might benefit from extending the sense of gratitude a few days longer.
Even if Black Friday shopping is your raison d��tre for Thanksgiving weekend, remember that 30 years ago, there were no designated accessible parking spaces, no larger dressing rooms to accommodate wheelchairs, no online shopping for people with chronic fatigue or other disabilities.
We do need to fix those things that need fixing, but at least for this long weekend of thanksgiving, let�s breathe a sigh of gratitude to God and the universe for bringing us this far.

The Power of Darkness
As an electrical designer at a NASA center, I once got a phone call from a user who had contracted for a turnkey installation of large above-ground fuel oil storage tanks for several boilers. He was complaining that his new tank pumps worked well, but would only run at night. In my mind, there was only one thing to explain the situation. Sure enough, a field investigation revealed that the contractor had wired the 480VAC motors from branch breakers in a 480Y/277VAC panelboard. The source was a lighting panel for outdoor 277V flood lighting. The feeders for the panel were made hot with a large contactor that had a coil activated by a photoelectric cell. This is still my favorite story to tell around the office.

Common Sense Alert
While working as an energy manager for a public school, I was called early one morning and asked to meet the head custodian and fire department personnel at one of our schools. They had been unable to silence a fire alarm that had sounded shortly after the first employees had entered the building, and were frantic to silence it before the students arrived. Upon entering the school building, I heard the ear-piercing siren blasting throughout the hallways and understood their concern. While joining the fire chief and head custodian to inspect the fire panel, we found the panel display reading, "SYSTEM NORMAL." I smiled and then asked the head custodian to follow me to the main entrance. Once there, I asked her to enter her security code into the keypad, thus canceling the security alarm.

Greetings, Kotaku, and welcome to the Tuesday open thread.
You may have heard that HBO is selling a real, life-sized replica of the Iron Throne for #30,000.
What you may not have heard is that the characters from the show have begun to leave user reviews of the Throne. I saw that today on The Mary Sue and had only one response: Ha!
Take this review, left by the Joffmeister himself:
Joff may like it, but I'm not sure I'd pay $30 for the Iron Throne, let alone $30,000. I come from the Iron Islands, and so I would pay only the iron price!
But how about you? What would you pay for a life-sized Iron Throne? Would you even want one? If you had one, would you watch Game of Thrones while sitting on it? You'd think that there'd be a bottle-opener somewhere on that bad boy, right?
Feel free to discuss those things, or anything else you please, in the open thread. The con is yours, Kotaku.

|Cyber Seniors: Older adults in Willow Glen stay ahead of technology, October 12, 2007
Reprinted, with permission, from the Willow Glen Resident, issued October 12, 2007.
by Mayra Flores De Marcotte
The halls at the Willows Senior Center echo with the chatter of the keyboards inside the classrooms.
The scene has changed since SeniorNet's beginning in Willow Glen 13 years ago. More than 6,000 local seniors have joined the high-tech generation by replacing their typewriters and stationery with laptops and desktops, thanks to the nonprofit group's efforts and the volunteers who donate their time to gently lead seniors into the high-tech world.
Photograph above by Vicki Thompson
A senior citizen learns basic computer skills as part of an introduction to computers class with the SeniorNet program, which provides computer education and access to those 50 and older.
"Early on, only a few of the people that came here owned a computer," says SeniorNet instructor Jerry White. "Less than 20 percent owned one, and they were doing it because they wanted to keep up with their grandkids. Now, almost 90 percent have their own computers and want simply to know how to use them."
White has been part of the program for the last 15 years.
SeniorNet provides computer education and access to those 50 and older. The courses range from digital images to fun with graphics to using the Internet and the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. Currently, 16 courses are available at the center.
A retired clinical chemist, White found out about the program after reading about it in a newspaper.
"When we started out, we were the only show in town," he says.
SeniorNet, founded in 1986 began as a research project. SeniorNet's goal is to get seniors online. The group, headquartered in Santa Clara, has more than 130 learning centers across the nation. One of three San Jose centers, the Willow Glen chapter founded in 1994 is the largest in the nation, according to its founders.
"IBM gave us some computers to get us under way," White says. "That was the beginning."
White had headed the chemistry section in the pathology department at O'Connor Hospital. He trained and lectured and had always been involved in teaching, so when he was approached to be an instructor at SeniorNet, he agreed.
"This is just a continuation of the same thing," he says.
At the program, there are two kinds of students who register for classes, White says.
"We have people who really want to learn and others who just want to get out of the house," he says.
Both reasons are equally important, White says.
"It's an excellent atmosphere," he says. "Both for the students and the staff, it's like a club."
When the program began, most who enrolled were men, but that has changed, White says.
"Now there's a lot of women here as well," he says. "We're moving out of the Dark Ages."
The schedule is broken into five sessions a year, each held once a week for two hours over the course of eight weeks. Class sizes range from six to 17 students, with a teacher and up to five coaches.
"I meet a lot of wonderful people here," White says. "I'm 84 years old, but when I see a 94-year-old trying to learn and if we can afford them an opportunity, that makes me happy."
The senior programming aims to entice the students to learn more, to further their understanding through creative subjects such as genealogy and photo editing.
John McCoulloch found SeniorNet after he went blind in one eye and had to put down his wood-carving tools.
He began as a coach for some of the classes. He'd make sure the seniors would be on the same page as the instructors.
"What it did is open some doors to interests I never thought I would have," he says.
He became interested in genealogy and digital photography and enrolled in classes.
"I was looking for another hobby," McCoulloch says. "This one hobby turned into many."
As he watched the many volunteers around him in and out of the classroom, McCoulloch wanted to do more.
He became involved in the group's council, helped with the class registration and began handling the publicity for the program.
"It's a hell of an organization, and I want to keep it that way," McCoulloch says. "I feel responsibility to fill the classrooms."
He joined the ranks and became one of more than 100 volunteers involved with the program.
"We are just a bunch of hard-working people that are dedicated and like what they do," McCoulloch says, "and are thankful for the opportunity to keep this going."
Even at the program's beginnings, volunteers were found around each bend.
"Working with this group, I don't really have to chase anyone to do a class," says co-founder Bill Souza. "It's easy to get people to step up."
Souza had retired from IBM and was looking for a way to enable himself and a group of colleagues to learn how to use a personal computer.
Issues at IBM in trying to secure time in the computer lab for the group led Souza and co-founder Phil Carnahan to come up with a local SeniorNet. The results still amaze Souza.
"We just wanted to keep our seniors mentally active and challenged," he says. "We never expected it to go on as long as it has."
Although the goals have stayed consistent since the beginning, the focus has shifted.
"The first four years the courses that were offered all were introduction and beginning classes," Souza says. "The major change has been the move into higher technology and digital photography. Technology is moving, and seniors are right there with it."
Potential students pay a member fee to SeniorNet of $40 for one year. Then, they pay $20-$30 for the courses.
For more information about SeniorNet computer classes, visit http://www.snlcsj.org, or call 408.448.6400. SeniorNet is located at Willow Senior Center, 2175 Lincoln Ave.

From JmPm
The Meeting on September 11, 2006 was a success !
A group of brave mongers arrived even though it was held on an omonous date.
Rina gave an audience participation talk on regular expressions, giving problems and asking the audience to give answers in the form of a regex which was then tested in real time. Not surprizingly, Motke dominated the regex solvers. Here is text of the regex quiz.
The lecture on mod perl by Issac, taught us much about this complex subject, using his extensive experience with this tool. As usual, he didn't quite finish everything. http://www.beamartyr.net/osdc2006/mp2intro.ppt is the presentaion.
A few pictures can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jerusalem_perl_mongers/
Rina brought burekas, marble cake and grapes. There was plenty.

The Pocono Record analyzed current teacher contracts for all six of the school districts in the region: Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Pocono Mountain, Pleasant Valley, Delaware Valley and Wallenpaupack.
The Pocono Record analyzed current teacher contracts for all six of the school districts in the region: Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Pocono Mountain, Pleasant Valley, Delaware Valley and Wallenpaupack.
Here are some general observations drawn from the analysis. For a side-by-side comparison of district contracts that you can search based on any of 36 different topics, go to poconorecord.com
Some teachers work more days than others. It varies from 184-187, with Wallenpaupack teachers at the top. The teacher school day is about the same in every district. Delaware Valley's contract does not appear to specify, but other teachers work 7.5 hours per day with a 30-minute lunch included. Wallenpaupack teachers work a shorter 7-hour day, with a 30-minute lunch included.
Stroudsburg appears to be the only district that rewards teachers, with a calculated payout, for not using their sick days. Personal leave functions mostly the same in all of the districts. Teachers get three days that accumulate in sick leave.
Health care costs are complicated to compare, but Wallenpaupack alone appears to cover its teachers' costs entirely, including for dependents.
Districts often cover the cost of teachers' classes, which allows them to move ahead on the salary scale. Districts vary in how many credits teachers can take for reimbursement each year. The lowest cap is six credits, ranging to no cap at all for Wallenpaupack, according to language in the contract. Stroudsburg appears to be the only district not offering tuition reimbursement, at least for this year, under its new contract. Most districts require a B or B average for a class to be eligible for reimbursement. Wallenpaupack teachers alone get reimbursed for earning C's. Wallenpaupack appears to be the only district that does not require repayment from teachers if they leave the district soon after taking courses for reimbursement. The others have time frames with payback requirements.
Caveats: This excludes several other significant ways teachers can earn money, including, in some cases: longevity pay, extra pay for duties within a department and extra pay for positions, such as football coach or band director.
Salary tables allow teachers to move forward in earnings based on both academic degrees earned and years of teaching. But salary steps are also not directly comparable district by district for several reasons: most districts have a different number; the number does not necessarily correspond to the number of years employed, sometimes due to pay freezes, or differing algorithms; and teachers might come in at different steps based on past experience. The number of educational levels recognized also varies by district. The lowest, first-step salaries in the districts for bachelor's degree holders vary by about $10,000. Pleasant Valley and East Stroudsburg teachers on step one, at the bottom of six districts, will earn $40,900 this year, compared to Stroudsburg teachers at the top who earn $51,800 on their first step. But bachelor's degree holders who do not continue their education, but advance through the years in experience, also have widely divergent raw earning potentials.
For instance, Stroudsburg teachers with a bachelor's may start at the highest comparative salary but, after moving through all their steps, eventually earn the lowest raw salary of the six districts at $60,300.
Teachers with a bachelor's who advance through all their respective salary steps earn the most in Wallenpaupack and East Stroudsburg, at about $74,000.
Stroudsburg appears to reward education level more highly than experience, as compared to the other districts. In Stroudsburg alone, master's degree holders make more on their first step than bachelor's degree holders earn after spending years advancing through every salary step. Stroudsburg teachers, at the bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. levels, earn more on their first step than teachers at every other district on their respective first steps. For example, Ph.D. holders start at step 1 with almost $30,000 more per year in Stroudsburg than they would at East Stroudsburg on its step one. The income gap between two teachers at the same school at both extremes, one a bachelor's degree-holder with little to no experience and the other an experienced holder of an advanced degree, varies between $30,055 at Delaware Valley, and $46,300 at Pleasant Valley.
But Delaware Valley also recognizes master's as the highest degree category for salary, while most others extend to Ph.D.

text: Edith Wilson (1872-1961) was an American first lady (1915–21) and the second wife of Woodrow Wilson, 28th president of the United States. The couple married just a year after the 1914 death of Wilson's first wife, Ellen. Though Ellen admitted she had no prior knowledge of–or interest in–politics, she soon became deeply involved in presidential affairs. As first lady during World War I, she volunteered with the Red Cross and encouraged rationing efforts by American women. Edith Wilson's role as self-appointed "steward" for her husband following his debilitating stroke in 1919 has left her with a complicated and controversial legacy as first lady.

Armenia hosts NATO's annual disaster response exercise
From 11 to 17 September, NATO is holding its annual disaster response exercise near the Armenian capital of Yerevan, organized by the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC).
The scenario of "Armenia 2010" is set in the city of Arzni in the Kotayk region north-east of Yerevan, where a severe earthquake has caused high numbers of casualties and widespread damage to critical infrastructure.
Almost 30 NATO and Partner countries are participating in rescue teams, putting EADRCC procedures and capabilities to the test and challenging their ability to work together on issues such as controlling borders and responding to chemical, biological or radiological incidents.
Focusing on cooperation and coordination among international teams is crucial to train rescuers, said Ragnar Boe, EADRCC Exercise Director. He compared the exercise to real-life disasters such as the Pakistani earthquake and the floods in Haiti, where there has been a clear need for the intervention of international teams.
The exercise has three phases, starting with the arrival of the participants in Armenia, which is hosting its first exercise in the framework of NATO's Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). After preparation and training, a week of intensive field exercises at eleven main sites outside Yerevan follows. Finally, the exercise will close with a debriefing, demonstrations and a closing ceremony.
The EADRCC has been conducting the annual exercise since 2000, but "Armenia 2010" is the first to be held in the Caucasus region. It is also the first field exercise open to countries participating in NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue (MD) and Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI).
More than 600 participants from NATO and Partner countries are involved in the exercise, as well as representatives from other international organizations such as the United Nations (UN-OCHA) and NGOs.
The EADRCC was launched following the earthquake disaster in Turkey and Greece in the late 1990s, which highlighted the impact of natural disasters for human security and critical infrastructure. It underlined the added value that could be provided by establishing a focal point for coordinating disaster relief efforts among NATO member and partner countries.

XMNR: The quantity of game deals at Best Buy has been upped for the week of Sunday, June 9. While the last couple of months has seen only a sprinkling of deals on games, this week has almost something for all PS3, Xbox 360 and PC gamers including a combo deal for The Last of Us and PS Plus cards or Sony headsets. There's also a $25 discount for both the Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL.
Wouldn't hurt to pick up an extra 3DS XL from my favorite electronics retailer

Simple string function in VIM
Recently I have posted a script for automatically picking up a ctags' tags file, if one found in obvious locations.
New thing for me in the script is definition and calling of a user function. User functions in VIM are documented under
:help user-functions topic. (Standard functions are documented under
:help functions. Pressing ^] on function name would bring you to detailed description of corresponding function.)
So, from POV of vimrc, function definition is simply set of commands, open with 'function Name([params])' line and closed with 'endfunction' line. Name must start with capital letter. Parameters are given as comma separated list - types are automagically deduced by VIM itself. Normally, most parameters would be strings and numbers - and VIM apparently can convert them silently one into another w/o bothering user about that (a-la Perl or JavaScript).
Inside of function one puts normal VIM commands (
:help :normal). To access parameters, their names must be prefixed with 'a:' (
:help internal-variables has nice list of all prefixes.)
To generate a value, function must use inside a
return command (
:help :return). Function will stop and callee would receive value given to return.
Function found in .vimrc become global and available everywhere. Additionally one can put function definitions in external file and then call
:source to make them available (
:help :source).
To call a function, one can use
:call FindCtagsHere('/home/ifilipau/trunk/src/','/')
or simple
:echo (which also prints function return value):
:echo FindCtagsHere('/home/ifilipau/trunk/src/','/')
or to save the value in variable one can use
:let x=FindCtagsHere('/home/ifilipau/trunk/src/','/')
because (compared to simpler
:set used for options,
:let (used for generic variable manipulation) evaluates right side of assignment operator).

Basics and Baby Kicks
Added Mar 5, 2013
by aluckmann
Minneapolis, Uni...
I decided that I needed some basic maternity wear now that my regular clothes are getting too tight and too short. Megan Nielsen's Ruched Maternity Top proved to be just what I looking for.
This was my first time sewing with knits – and let me just encourage anyone who is intimidated by it – it's not that hard! Actually I was able to sew this up much quicker than I anticipated. Making sure to carefully follow the grain line when cutting out the pattern pieces already made this shirt higher quality than most of my RTW knits – as they seem to almost always be off grain.
I love how this pattern will see me through my pregnancy, it fits comfortably now and there is still plenty of room for growth.

RIDGEDALE, Mo. (AP) Thirty-six years ago, the first Legends of Golf was such a hit that it sparked interest that led to the creation of the senior tour. The Champions Tour event is still breaking ground.
For the first time in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament, a par-3 course is being used. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge Resort is no ordinary par-3 layout.
''This whole event is going to be spectacular on TV,'' said Andy North, paired with Tom Watson. ''I think that's what's going to be so interesting. Any direction the camera goes is going to be spectacular and we don't find that very often.''
The Champions division will play 18 holes on the par-3 course Sunday, the first nine under foursomes and the second at fourball. The Legends division for players 65 and older will play nine holes of fourball.
The opening 36 holes for both divisions will consist of a fourball round on the regulation Buffalo Ridge course and two nine-hole rounds (foursomes and fourball) on the par-3 course.
Watson noted the foursomes - or alternate-shot portion - of the format.
''Plus, we've got the other thing, the alternate shot,'' the Ryder Cup captain said. ''That's never been played officially in any PGA Tour tournament. It is in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup, but for official money for the Champions Tour, no, it's never happened before.''
Nicklaus is teaming with Gary Player in The Legends division.
''I'm kind of interested in the format, really,'' Nicklaus said. ''I think the format using a par-3 golf course is different, something unique.''
Last year, Jeff Sluman and Brad Faxon teamed to win in Savannah, Georgia, edging Fred Funk-Mike Goodes and Kenny Perry-Gene Sauers by a stroke in fourball play. Sluman is playing alongside Funk this year, with Faxon unable to play because of a prior commitment.
''It will be interesting how this all unfolds,'' Funk said. ''I think marketing-wise it's probably a great idea because you're trying to get the concept where people can come out and play a par-3 golf course, and this is not your normal par-3 golf course.''
Mark Calcavecchia noted that the bags will lighter.
''You leave your woods in the car,'' Calcavecchia said. ''You just bring your 4-iron through sand wedge and it's just a different feel. It's going to be fun, but it's weird not being able to take your frustration out and bash a driver as hard as you can. It's like, `Oh, God, another 8-iron or wedge or something.'''

Safety laser scanner
Omron Automation and Safety's STI OS32C-DM Safety Laser Scanner report status and measurement data via EtherNet/IP. This helps keep machines up and running by enabling users to check the operating state and analyze the cause of an emergency stop via LAN, and take quick corrective action, even in large-scale applications with multiple scanners.
These safety laser scanners are available with user tools that help speed customer development time and conserve engineering resources. Easy to use function blocks are ideal for simple PLC controlled status and data updates. A simple and effective method of integrating the status and measurement data to a PLC, these function blocks can be used in the PLC code to automatically configure the PLC to process and display the information. Software examples are available for large process PC controlled applications where large amounts of data are logged to determine product quality, consistency or process variations.
The updated configuration tool now provides a "maintenance access level" that enables the user to make only non-safety related programming changes and employs a "non-safety checksum" for easier re-commissioning when non-safety changes are made. A new "zone coordinate import/export" function allows users to modify the shape and size of a monitoring zone by importing coordinates from a text file.
STI OS32C safety laser scanners provide configurable object resolutions of 30, 40, 50 and 70 mm to accommodate hand and arm detection applications. They feature a compact 104.5 mm profile, light 1.3 kg weight and consume just 5 W power (3.75 W in standby mode). Combined with innovative features that include up to 70 sets of highly flexible and easily configurable detection zones, the OS32C is easy to handle and install and delivers the versatility needed to solve diverse presence detection and collision avoidance application needs. The status display and eight patented Individual Sector Indicators also enable users to determine at a glance the unit's operating state and error codes, and assess the direction of an intrusion.

A few times a each month we revisit some of our reader's favorite posts from throughout the history of Vectortuts+. This tutorial by Otto Coster was first published on August 4th 2010.
Have you ever wondered how professional designers strike the perfect balance between text and image? Using InDesign's powerful type tools, you will learn techniques to help you set and arrange a magazine layout.
Looking for a Quick Solution?
If you're looking for a quick solution, there's a great collection of magazine layouts on Envato Elements. With a huge range of layouts and more design assets available to download for a single, affordable monthly fee, it's a great way to quickly get started on your project. Here are a few of our favourites!
1. Fashion Magazine
2. Minimal Magazine
3. Architecture Magazine
4. Lemo Magazine
5. Elegant Magazine
Step 1: Setting Up the Document
We'll be using a standard A4 size document for this tutorial. Start with setting the number of pages to 8, the bleed to 2 mm so we have some space for images to overlap, the margins to 10 mm for top and bottom, the inside margin to 13 mm and the outside margin to 20 mm. The reason for these different margins is that in a spread with 2 pages a slightly larger margin on the outside of the page looks better and provides space to hold the printed version. It is also useful for the page grid in the next step.
Step 2: Creating a Grid
To set up the page grid, go to the "A-master spread" and choose Layout > Create Guides. A grid is used to keep consistency in the page layout and provides a framework for positioning content. A well-used grid is the first thing you need to give your layout a professional look. For this tutorial we're going to use a 12 rows by 12 columns grid with 3 mm spacing. Choose Fit Guides to Margins to create a grid with a column width of 12 mm.
Why? Our page width is 210 mm, with 20 mm outside and 13 mm inside margins we have 177 mm left for 12 columns and 11 gutters. 12 columns of 12 mm plus 11 gutters of 3 mm is 177 mm.
Step 3: Placing a Background
When creating a magazine layout, you'll want to keep a good balance between the white space, images and text. A good technique is to use an image with a lot of 'empty' space, space around the subject has the same function as white space. I'm using a photograph called, Summertime Sunshine by Stewart, it has a nice blurry background that we can place our text on.
Go to page 2–3 and place your photograph in the bleed space so that the entire spread is covered. Move the photograph in the frame so that the subject is within the margin of the first page and the top of the cocktail is at the edge of a grid row.
Step 4: Creating Body Text
Make a text frame that is placed at the same vertical and horizontal position as the cocktail on the other page, here in the third row, fifth column of the grid. This creates a imaginary line that connects the image with the text. I've used the title of the photograph, 'Summertime Sunshine' as the heading and filled the rest of the frame with the "Fill with placeholder text" function of InDesign.
Step 5: Setting Up a Baseline Grid
To make our text look good we need to set up a baseline grid. Go to the Preferences > Grids and set an Increment Every to 8 pt. In this tutorial we'll be using a text size of 12 pts and a leading of 16 pts. A baseline grid of 8 pts,which is half the leading, provides flexibility because we can also use it for smaller text sizes.
Step 6: Changing the Basic Paragraph Style
Go tot the paragraph styles palette and change the style of the Basic Paragraph. I've used FF Meta Book Roman with a size of 12 pt and a leading of 16 pt. You can also leave the leading at the auto setting because our baseline grid will make sure all the text is nicely aligned.
Step 7: Alignment
Go to Indents and Spacing and set the Alignment to Left Justify. On the web, good looking justified text is almost impossible to achieve, but InDesign makes it very easy to do. Also, change the Align to Grid setting to All Lines, and add 16 pts of space after a paragraph. This is not necessary and you can also use First Line Indent for separating the paragraphs.
Step 8: Hyphenation
Hyphenation is very important for justified text. It breaks up long words at the end of a column so that the column has a straight edge instead of containing a large amount of gaps. The default hyphenation settings in InDesign need some adjusting to improve the look of our body text. I'm changing the settings to use hyphenation only for words with at least 6 letters, and after the first and before the last 3 letters. The hyphen limit sets how many lines in a row can have a hyphen on the end. I think 3 is way too many and a maximum of 1 looks much better. Further, you should disable the checkboxes for Capitalized Words and Last Word.
Step 9: Justification
By default, the justification settings are a bit to loose. Set the word spacing to a minimum of 85% and the maximum to 105%. This way the words don't have large or small gaps between them. For letter spacing, set the minimum to -2% and the maximum to 2%. This improves the justification a lot. You can experiment with glyph scaling as well if needed.
Step 10: Text Color
I'm using white as the color for the text because of the dark background. Choose what looks best but keep the text readable.
Step 11: Text Columns
Open the Text Frame Options with right click on the text frame and change the columns to a number of 2 with a 3 mm gutter. This way the line length is reduced and the readability increases.
Step 12: Heading
For the heading, we want to use a larger text size of 42 pts and a negative tracking value of -50 to decrease the spacing between the letters. Headlines can often benefit from tracking adjustment.
Step 13: Span Columns
A new function in InDesign CS5 is the possibility for a paragraph to span across columns. We're going to use that here to make the heading span across both the columns of the text frame. Set the Paragraph Layout to Span Columns and Span to All.
Step 14: Heading Adjustments
Because of the tracking adjustment, the letters "r" and "t" are touching each other now. This is something you want to avoid in general. To solve this I've set the kerning to 75 between the letters which creates enough space to separate them.
Step 15: Optical Margin Alignment
The last thing you want to do is a small setting in InDesign's Story palette: Optical Margin Alignment. This pushes the hyphens, quotation marks and wide characters such as the W and A outside the text frame. This increases the look of the edges. Click on the text frame, enable Optical Margin Alignment and set the value to your the size of the body text.
You have now created a simple, but well balanced page with good typography and use of white space. You have the basics set up for a consistent magazine layout.

Wainwright downright dominating while evolving
ST. LOUIS -- It's not all that unusual for a veteran pitcher, one wanting to maintain his relevancy and ensure longevity, to recreate himself mid-career. In fact, longtime Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan became one of the best in the business in fostering such reclamation projects.
Duncan turned Jason Marquis into a sinkerballer and convinced Andy Benes to lean more heavily on his offspeed pitches when his velocity didn't return post-surgery. Jeff Weaver and Woody Williams were among those who transitioned away from power pitching under Duncan's watch.
ST. LOUIS -- It's not all that unusual for a veteran pitcher, one wanting to maintain his relevancy and ensure longevity, to recreate himself mid-career. In fact, longtime Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan became one of the best in the business in fostering such reclamation projects.
Duncan turned Jason Marquis into a sinkerballer and convinced Andy Benes to lean more heavily on his offspeed pitches when his velocity didn't return post-surgery. Jeff Weaver and Woody Williams were among those who transitioned away from power pitching under Duncan's watch.
These were pitchers who changed their styles to survive. Now the Cards are watching as Adam Wainwright, hardly in need of an overhaul, is reinventing himself in an effort to thrive.
"Very rare, very special," manager Mike Matheny said, unable to compare Wainwright's ever-evolving approach to anyone he caught or saw. "To be able to say, 'I think I can do a little bit more,' is very unique."
What Wainwright began to do with regularity last season and continued through the first month of this one is quite incredible. He has essentially erased the validity of scouting reports by making himself a different pitcher from one start to the next, or changing mechanics and sequencing mid-game, even pitch to pitch. Wainwright has made pitching an ongoing experiment, setting out to discover new ways to toy with hitters each time out.
It's a trial-and-error process with basically no error. Wainwright was the first Major League pitcher to five wins and boasts a 1.20 ERA heading into his seventh start Friday in Chicago. He'll take the mound with a scoreless-innings streak of 25.
"I'm just enjoying baseball in a different light," said Wainwright, one of only four pitchers in franchise history to win five games before May. "Finding new ways to do things while at the same time staying with my strengths -- it's a pretty cool place to be. I feel like I've got a master plan. I can almost hear the music of the game in my head. It's kind of like a symphony -- I can see it -- and I'm just going to try to keep playing the music."
Pity the hitters who have to listen.
Together, they have mustered 24 hits and six runs in Wainwright's 45 innings. He's shut out his opponent in four of six starts and has struck out at least seven in all but one. Wainwright's only start that ended in a St. Louis loss was one in which the offense scored just one run for him.
Wainwright has yet to leave a start until after the seventh inning and could conceivably have strung together three consecutive shutouts had it not been for Matheny's cautiousness after he hyperextended his right knee trying to make a defensive play against the Mets.
"It's been awesome to watch," Matt Adams said.
"It's pretty hard to top what he's been able to do just consistently making those good pitches, with all his pitches, too," Matheny added. "He's not afraid to figure out how he can get better. That's him in a nutshell."
The genesis of Wainwright's self-reinventing came two years ago as he trudged through a season without feeling completely in sync. It wasn't all that surprising given that he was coming off a year missed because of Tommy John surgery.
Wainwright's signature curveball came back relatively quickly, but little else was reliable. That left him thinking about how he could find other ways to get outs.
Wainwright started by moving around on the rubber and throwing his cutter harder, then began gauging the reaction to various delivery speeds. He did more in 2013, which ended with Wainwright finishing as the runner-up to Clayton Kershaw in the National League Cy Young Award voting. Wainwright won 19 games, led the league with 241 2/3 innings and set a career high with 219 strikeouts.
"Last year, I grew to love the idea of pitching all the time, not just throwing the pitch but changing my deliveries and changing my speeds, keeping the hitter off-balance every way I can," Wainwright said. "This year, I'm doing all that stuff as well as adding some different variety of pitches. I'm just kind of enjoying finding out all those odds and ends that work and which pitches work at different speeds."
Wainwright is pitching mostly with a repertoire of four -- his curve, four-seam fastball, cutter and sinker. He's hardly needed his changeup, though he garnered three outs off the pitch in his last start. Wainwright is not hesitant to throw any of those pitches to either side of the plate against right-handed or left-handed hitters. He is quick to change the speeds of a pitch, too, going with a harder curveball, for instance, when he wants the swing-and-miss and a slower one when eyeing a ground ball.
It's an overload of options for which hitters have to prepare. And it has left many wondering if one of the best pitchers in baseball is actually getting better.
"That's what makes Waino good, because he can do different things in different at-bats," said his longtime catcher Yadier Molina. "One at-bat he can get you out with a curveball. He has four pitches that we can throw any time in any count. It's so good that he can do that."
Wainwright can't point to a better month-long stretch in his career.
"I'm getting results, obviously, but I'm really having more fun pitching now than I ever had," Wainwright said. "It's just such a chess match right now with me. I feel like I'm right where I need to be, so I'm going to work extra hard to stay there and not get complacent about it."
Complacency is unlikely for a 32-year-old right-hander who is approaching each outing like a puppeteer. Wainwright is making himself better, too, in front of the watchful eyes of his younger rotation mates, proving that it's unnecessary to wait until a career crossroads to change how you pitch.
"I've said this many times now and I'll continue to say it -- what a great example for our guys in this clubhouse and in this organization," Matheny said. "To say, 'Hey, this is our leader and look at what he's doing. He's pushing the limits and then figuring out how to keep going.'"

Junior Nikola Deiter was named Northeast Conference women's soccer Goalkeeper of the Year on Thursday night at the NEC's annual pre-tournament banquet. Junior Allison Kelley and freshman Claire Walsh also earned recognition for their performances this season.
In addition to being the goalkeeper of the year, Deiter was also named to the All-NEC First Team. She posted an incredible 96 saves over 18 games this season. Deiter had five shutouts and allowed just 24 goals during the season, which works out to a 1.33 goals against average. Deiter's save total led the conference and her 5.33 saves/game tied for third in the NEC.
Kelley earns Second Team All-NEC honors following a season in which she scored one goal and assisted on three others. Kelley's three goals in 12 games tied her for sixth in the conference with .25 goals/game.
Walsh earns NEC All-Rookie accolades after a solid freshman campaign that saw her total three points on the season. She scored her first collegiate goal on September 9, against Connecticut and had her first assist on September 14, against Siena.
The Blue Devils finished the season with a 4-13-1 record and a 3-7-0 mark in NEC action.

Williams has announced the signing of two key aerodynamic personnel ahead of the 2014 season.
Dave Wheater joins the team from Lotus as head of aerodynamic performance, while Red Bull's Shaun Whitehead moves to Williams to take the role of head of aerodynamic process. Both staff will report to head of aero Jason Somerville, who described the additions as "first class talents".
After Williams endured a poor 2013 – scoring just five points – chief technical officer Pat Symonds said the two new staff members would be able to have a major impact on the team.
"These two appointments show our commitment to both improving the process of aerodynamic development while focussing on the application of that development to true on-track performance," Symonds said. "Dave and Shaun bring a wealth of experience to our team and I welcome them both to Grove and fully expect them to make significant contributions to the renewed competitiveness that we are all working so hard to achieve.
"With Dave and Shaun on board, and under Jason's stewardship, we will be well positioned to make gains in this important area and support the continuing task of developing the FW36 in what promises to be an exciting year for the sport in 2014."

Nonfiction Books
I think the last fiction book I read was that last Legacy of the Force book. I found it boring. I haven't even checked to see if a new Star Wars book series has started since then.
As a side note, my favorite fiction books are all classics. #1 for me is A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I wish somebody would make a movie of it that would follow the book. The Bing Crosby version doesn't cut it.

Streaming media device use has doubled since 2011, with 14% of U.S. broadband households using products like the Apple TV or the Roku in 2013, reports Parks Associates (via CNET).
While the Apple TV has increased in popularity over the last several years, it falls short of competing product Roku. A survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households revealed that 37% used a Roku device while 24% used an Apple TV, making Roku the most used streaming set-top box in the U.S.
Parks Associates predicts that worldwide connected TV device sales will double to reach 330 million annually by 2017, with annual sales revenue increasing almost 100%.
"Innovations such as next-gen game consoles and 4K or ultra-HD TVs will boost unit sales for these devices, but overall, consumers are reluctant to replace these big-ticket items solely for smart upgrades," said Barbara Kraus, director, research, Parks Associates. "As a result, streaming video media devices will have a thriving market because they can offer innovations such as streaming video at low prices. Devices such as Roku's streaming players and Google's Chromecast will benefit from these market conditions."

I was watching an episode of Frasier last night and Mark Munoz had a bit part. Niles was having a Halloween party, but kids kept ringing his door bell. With the second or third group, he yelled at them, but one of them took his mask off and said, "I'm Dr. Krovitz." I didn't recognize him, but I happened to be watching the credits and it listed Mark Munoz. That's when it clicked. So I checked IMDB and it has a Frazier Halloween episode listed for him.
Phil commented this morning on the Bonnie Hunt Show that these guys were hysterical and were going to have us peeing in our pants with laughter!

I think you have already discovered why Common Lisp doesn't want special operators and macros to be FUNCALLed or APPLYied, because there's a potential infinite number of special cases to observe. Complex syntax manipulations usually are implemented by recursive tree traversal, not by stacking macros on macros. Sorry, but I would need a specific code example to see why your macros cannot be implemented as functions, otherwise I have no idea how to solve this problem.
