Using the race to test its new long-tailed version of its R18 e-tron quattro in preparation for Le Mans, Audi achieved a dominant one-two-three finish this weekend at round two of the World Endurance Championship in Spa, Belgium.
Using its hybrid technology, Audi beat its rivals from Toyota after the six-hour race.
On the way to their first WEC victory of the season, World Champions Marcel Fässler/André Lotterer/Benoît Treluyer finished 1min 05sec ahead of second place despite suffered misfortune at the beginning of the race. In the second hour, debris damaged a tire, forcing André Lotterer to stop early. From seventh place Tréluyer battled to recover and was running in front again just 74min later.
The winners of the previous race at Silverstone, Loïc Duval/Tom Kristensen/Allan McNish, finished second while taking an additional point for posting the best qualifying time.
The third car of Marc Gené/Lucas di Grassi/Oliver Jarvis was the experimental long-tail version, optimized for the upcoming Le Mans race. The lower downforce apparently didn't make its handling in the fast turns at Spa any easier, but it still managed a strong result.
The next stop for Audi will be Le Mans on June 9, when Audi Sport Team Joest will run in the official test day. On June 22 and 23, Audi will aim to achieve its twelfth victory at the classic endurance race.

Many times parents don't know where there child is, who they are with and what they are doing. This can produce a terrible outcome.
Unfortunately, we see cases quite frequently where the parent claims that they never knew about problems and issues that their children had before it's too late. Many parents suspect their child may be involved in certain activity that they would not approve of, but are unsure of what steps to take.
Everyday in the news, we see children being arrested for crimes that their families were unaware of. In addition, you see children falling victim to child abuse, abductions and other horrific crimes.
We suggest verifying what your child says they are doing and where they are going. The safety of your child needs to be paramount. Show up discreetly to see who they are with and what are they doing.
We suggest utilizing a trained professional to follow your child, but you can also attempt this on your own. We would suggest to parents to rent a car or borrow a vehicle and follow your child to ensure that they are not going to be the next person you see on the news.
We recommend contacting a private investigation company of the suspicions you may have regarding your child and be guided by their advice.
These investigations are quite common in the private investigation field. We are able to show you via video and photographic evidence what exactly your child is doing and how they are conducting themselves. Wouldn't you like to know if they are drinking, doing drugs or even worse?
Finally, many parents miss the warning signs and do not know what to look for. It is very important to identify the problem before it goes too far. Unfortunately, many parents believe their child would never be involved in certain activities or crimes.

~A long time ago, longer than I care to remember, or admit, I drank Gallo products. Not that I dont think Gallo products are worth drinking; in fact, many of them are superior wines, as the Gallo company is one of the most sophisticated wine producers on earth, and it has spawned some fantastic winemakers as well as wine marketers.
~The Gallo products I drank those many years ago had names like Thunderbird, Twister, and Boones Farm. Hey, I was young!
~In any event, the story goes that the Gallo formula for Thunderbird came about after company sales reps noticed a store in Oakland selling cheap wine with packets of lemonade. The point being, Gallo saw an opportunity and seized it.
~Back then the domestic wine scene was woefully deficient. Some marvelous wines were being produced in California, but not many Americans were drinking them. United States citizens only recently started to take to table wine on a large scale, finally surpassing beer consumption in 2005 and in 2006.
~Today, with mass products like Yellow Tail and Charles Shaw wines, the latter known as Two Buck Chuck (TBC), the price of some table wines make it unreasonable for even the most novice of novices to resort to drinking Tbird and its ilk, unless of course the idea is alcohol rather than taste (Tbird comes in at 20 percent by volume).
~While the cheap table wines with mass appeal may not offer the excitement or even the adventure that vintage premium wines offer, those among us who want to get started with wine or who simply cant afford a so-called great bottle each day at least have better options than we had 40 years ago.
~The Gallo brothers were known as ruthless, tireless, aggressive, and shrewd. They certainly were smart. They knew the domestic market and they knew how to profit from it.
~The same can arguably be said about one particular man whose family owns the Charles Shaw Brand, among many other brands.
~Fred Franzia makes himself known. He has been in trouble with the law, he was on the outs with his father after dad sold the original Franzia wine and name to corporate interests, he fights with grape growers, he petitions the Supreme Court; in other words, he may be in the Gallo mold.
~Where Franzia differs is that the Gallo family did not blatantly court the press. Franzia seems to glow in the press limelight, spewing as much crudeness as print will allow. If I didnt know any better, Id think he was using the press…
~Recently, an article about Fred Franzia showed up on CNNmoney.com, under Business 2.0 Magazine (which I have heard has since been discontinued, but I dont know for sure).
~The article rehashed much of the stuff about the rise of TBC and its parent company, Bronco, plus the many outrageous things that Franzia has said and done and continues to do and say. For that, it is just an article about seeming ongoing news.
~My problem with the article is neither the subject matter nor the fact that it is old news, but what I read in the first paragraph and then subsesquent to the paragraph.
~One of the things I learned about writing as a journalist is that you need to grab the reader in the first paragraph. You cant do that effectively with a glaring mistake such as placing Haut-Brion in Burgundy, which is what the article does.
~After encountering that glaring error, instead of reading the article, I was looking for more problemsthats not how you want to grab the reader. The writer lost credibility.
~As the profile proceeded, the interviewer interjected himself into the interview, a style of writing that makes me feel as if there is an agenda behind the article, and that makes me feel manipulated.
~By interjecting his views or opinions into the profile, the author takes on an added responsibility to know the subject. When this particular author treated with derision the fact that after decades in the wine business Franzia refers to grapes as varieties instead of varietals, he tipped his hand.
Grapes are classified first as within a species and then as varieties within the species; wines named after grapes or showing a particular grapes characteristics are called varietal wines or varietals for short; varieties is a noun; varietals, used to describe a wine, is an adjective.
Franzias reference of grapes as varieties was correct.
The writer either did not know his subject or his grammar.
Halfway through the article, I stopped reading.
~I am not against writing opinions, Im engaging in the practice right now. But I am not crazy about interjecting opinions inside a seemingly fact-based personality profile, and I certainly am against erroneous facts.
~Fred Franzia may be all the things that people say he is and he may be half of the things he says he is. He may also be a media hound who keeps his name out there as a means of free promotion. I dont know any of this to be or not to be true.
~I do know that the possibility existed that I might have learned something about the wine industry or at least about a particular wine company had the writer not sabotaged his own effort.
Where were the editors at money.com?
~Finally, it bothers me that the article was not written to a wine drinking audience but as a news item, which means there may be some unknowing consumers traveling Burgundy right now looking to visit Haut-Brion and to find out which grape varietals they use for their wines!

Senator Clinton Condemns Republican Obstruction of Key Breast Cancer Research
Posted by jewsforhillary on April 22, 2008
Senator Clinton Condemns Republican Obstruction of Key Breast Cancer Research
– Urges Passage of Legislation to Spur Life-Saving Research
Washington, DC – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today condemned Republican efforts to block debate and passage of the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act, of which Senator Clinton is an original co-sponsor. She urged her colleagues to join her in supporting this important legislation.
"This legislation will spur pioneering research into the links between environmental hazards and chronic conditions such as breast cancer. Greater federal investment in breast cancer research could hold the key to prevention or survival for millions of women across our country. This could not be a more critical issue," Senator Clinton said. "It is outrageous that this vital life-saving effort is being held up by petty procedural politics here in the Senate. I strongly urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come together to support this legislation."
Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Three million women in the United States are currently living with breast cancer, one million of whom have not yet been diagnosed. On average, over 13,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year in New York State, with about 3,000 annual deaths caused by this disease.
The Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act would establish Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Centers of Excellence in order to conduct collaborative research on environmental factors that are linked to breast cancer. It would also establish a panel of experts, including patient advocates, to develop a comprehensive strategy for research in this area. Senator Clinton welcomed approval of the bill by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in February. She previously called for passage of the legislation in 2007 and 2006.
Several New York universities are already engaging in innovative research in this area. In 2006, Senator Clinton visited Cornell University's Sprecher Institute for Comparative Cancer Research and met with researchers from their program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factors, who are working to translate this research to help women understand and minimize their environmentally-connected risks.
Senator Clinton has long been active in promoting increased research into links between health and the environment. In 2001, she worked with her colleagues on the Environment and Public Works Committee to hold a field hearing in Long Island on the possible links between the environment and breast cancer. She has also introduced the Coordinated Environmental Health Network Act, which would establish a nationwide tracking network to help identify connections between disease and environment, develop a response system for addressing public health threats, and expand the biomonitoring work of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

WESTFIELD, Mass. – Senior quarterback Matthew Rende rushed for 151 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns to lead Maine Maritime Academy to a 36-34 double overtime victory over Westfield State University in a New England Football Conference Bogan Division game on Saturday, Oct. 8.
The Mariners, who rallied from a 14-0 deficit, improve to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the Bogan Divison. The Owls drop to 2-4 and 1-2. It was the second overtime setback in three weeks for Westfield, who lost at home to Worcester State in triple overtime, 42-40, on Sept. 24.
Rende turned in the biggest play of the game with 10:33 remaining in the fourth quarter when he ripped off a 74-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-one situation from the Mariner 26-yard line. Rende broke thru the Owls' goal line defense and cut to his left, outracing a Westfield defender down the left sidelines.
Rende's long run made the score 21-19 as the Mariners had an extra point blocked by Owl defensive end Chris Walker in the third quarter. Maine knotted the score at 21-all when fullback Tom Marcisso rushed for the two-point conversion.
Maine had an opportunity to win the game in regulation but Michael Brennan's 36-yard field goal attempt was wide right with 4:53 remaining.
In the first overtime, the Owls took a 28-21 lead on a three-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Steve Guercio to tight end Jake Storey in the back of the end zone. Kennan Startzell remained perfect in PATs this season by splitting the uprights.
Maine Maritime tied the score at 28-28 on its first possession when Rende lofted a pass completion in the right flat to running back Nick Bourassa for a 24-yard pass-run touchdown.
Maine had the first possession in the second overtime and scored on the first play when Rende scampered 25 yards, breaking several tackles, for a touchdown.
In the all-important conversion attempt, the Mariners opted to go for two points and Marcisso bulled his way across the goal line from three yards out to make the score 36-28.
Westfield responded by scoring a touchdown on a 12-yard pass, rifled thru two defenders, from Guercio to Storey. The Owls were unable to convert the two-point conversion and Guercio lofted a pass to Justin Karrat in the right corner of the end zone that glanced off his fingertips.
The Owls started strongly, stopping the Mariners dangerous triple option while the Westfield offensive line opened huge holes for the running backs.
Westfield opened the scoring on its first drive on a 51-yard touchdown run by freshman Michael Mercadante, who rushed for a game-high 186 yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns.
Westfield took a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter on a 12-play, 55-yard scoring drive that was set up by a fumble recovery by defensive tackle Cam Green. Sophomore running back Brian Beauchemin, who finished with 65 yards rushing on 19 carries, scored from the two-yard line to make it 14-0.
Maine Maritime finally got its option clicking in the second quarter. Pinned inside their own one-yard line after Joey Shisler downed a Dan Dowling punt, the Mariners marched 99 yards in 18 plays, scoring on Bourassa's three-yard plunge with 3:57 left in the first half.
The Mariners scored midway through the third period when Bourassa capped a 10-play, 58-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown run. The scoring drive started after Westfield just missed moving the sticks on a fake punt attempt and the Mariners took over on downs. Walker blocked the PAT as Westfield remained ahead, 14-13.
The Owls took a 21-13 lead late in the third quarter on a 1-yard TD run by Mercadante. The seven-play 32-yard drive was set up by Erik Wellhoff's 13-yard interception return.
Westfield had its best rushing attack of the season, 259 net yards on 50 carries. Guercio completed 10 of 17 passes for 86 yards and two scores in his first collegiate start.
The Mariners racked up 359 yards rushing on 67 carries. Ian Champeon rushed for 116 yards on 26 carries and Bourassa had 75 yards on 15 totes.
Brock Lawrence led the Mariners defensively with 10 tackles and an interception that thwarted an Owl scoring threat late in the first half. Alex Hermes also had 10 tackles.
Westfield linebacker Justin Ehrhardt posted a game-high 12 tackles and strong safety Ryan O'Connell had nine tackles and an interception.

Toyland, Toyland, Little girl and boy-land!
What other month delivers so many joys with the mere mention of the word "toy" but December?! And with the holiday month quickly approaching, we are finishing up our shopping lists for all those toy-joys but leave it to Parents magazine to add a couple of new ideas!
I'm always looking for new little gadgets that our two-year old will enjoy as well as the twelve-year-old, this magic wand might do the trick…
Another idea for our two-year old is this art easel since both the tween and mommy of the house both have art areas, this would give the toddler an area all his own to create in!
We already have many items checked off our toy list with a couple of non-toy ones still to purchase in the next two weeks. We spent this Small-Business Saturday frequenting a local favorite toy store White Horse Toys buying some of our toys like this awesome scooter from Kiddi-O for our toddler.
I would encourage taking a look at your local toy businesses before taking part in Cyber-Monday (this year the online and store deals have NOT been as good as in the past!) and splitting at least half your toy list by supporting a local-owned shop like President Obama did this weekend!
Every little bit really makes a difference in your local community! These are some of our local parent-owned businesses that we like to support…

Hi folks.
I have a text file with a thousands of rows of numbers in it.
For example:
1 2 4 6 11 13 19 21 66 97 101 ........
1 3 9 12 18 26 44 56 98 113......
What I want to do is find the maximum number that's in the file.
My thoughts are:
1 - the numbers are all strings, not integers, so I can't easily get the max val.
2 - do I need to use an array to store all the numbers in and calculate the max val from there?
3 - do I need to use itoa to convert the strings into integers?
4 - I need some way of making the program recognise a whole number (i.e. read in the data until you get to a space and then it will know its got a whole number).
Can anyone help me? Is there some fairly straight forward code I can use to do this?

Dozens of Canadians are training to compete in one of the world's toughest marathons. You're welcome to join them.
More than 5,400 runners and marchers will head out over the drifting sands of the New Mexico desert on March 21, to compete in the annual Bataan Memorial Death March.
All are expected to survive this marathon in the desert, but nearly12,000 died in the original Bataan Death March during World War II.
For 24 years American and Canadian soldiers – civilians are welcome, too – have saluted the survivors and the victims of that 97-kilometre forced march in 1942 by staging a grueling run and march through the desert at the White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico.
Bogdan Kulik is not a soldier. He's a 65-year-old engineer at Bruce Nuclear Generating Station near Kincardine and has completed 59 marathons. "The Bataan Memorial Death March is certainly the toughest marathon I've ever competed in," said Kulik. "Some of the time you are running in loose sand. Much of the run is along rugged dirt roads."
The Bataan Memorial Death March has drawn him four times to the barren White Sands, but Kulik won't face the challenge this year. He has chosen instead to run 50 miles through Mexico's Copper Canyon in the Caballo Blanco Ultra Marathon on Mar. 7.
"I don't think I'll be able to recover on time for Bataan. Don't forget, I am over 60 now," said Kulik.
Michael Conley is a lieutenant in the Canadian Army and weighs close to 300 pounds. "I am not big on running," says Conley, so he marched across the sands as part of a 17-member contingent from the Royal Canadian Artillery School in Gagetown, New Brunswick.
Last year. 43 Canadians participated in The Bataan Memorial Death March, which is organized by the U.S. Army base on the White Sands Missile Range. Canadian Brigadier-General Raymond Romses and Harper Boucher, the head of the RCMP in Atlantic Canada were among the Canadian participants.
Boucher, assistant-commissioner of the RCMP at the time, was the fastest in his age bracket. He has since retired from the Mounties. Romses once commanded Joint Task Force 2, Canada's secret special forces unit.
You have four choices on how to tackle the desert sands. You can run 42 kilometres like Kulik, march 42 kilometres wearing a 35-pound backpack, march 42 kilometres without a heavy backpack or march 24.5 kilometres.
It costs $65 (U.S.) for individuals or $275 (U.S.) for a team of five.
Organizers warn that participants should be in a good physical shape. This is not a walk in the park. First, make sure you have run or marched at least 100 miles in the footwear you'll be using. Wear a hat, wear sun glasses, wear sun block, drink plenty of sports drinks plus water.
And bring photo ID. You'll need it to get on the missile range and your vehicle will likely be searched. The event is conducted with military precision. Be on the start line at 6 a.m., organizers advise. There'll be no late starters. Sunrise is 7:08 a.m.
Be prepared to sleep over for two nights, including the night after your march/run. The missile range is far out in the desert and you'll likely fall asleep on the road driving back to civilization after the event.
The marathon includes a hearty breakfast served on the base at 4:30 a.m., so you'll likely want to sleep on the base the night before your run. The military will bed you down on their comfortable gymnasium floor. Hey, this is the army.
Canadian participants say near the end of the march it's like walking into sand paper. The brisk winds on these high plains start kicking up about noon. They hit 50-60 mph during last year's march/run. Temperatures are expected to be 18C at noon, 24C by 4 p.m., but might reach 30C.
Oh, and it's mostly uphill. The start line is 1,300 feet above sea level. You'll climb to 1,650 ft. above sea level before returning to the start line.
Conley and Kulik both said one of the best parts of the marathon is getting to meet a dozen or so survivors of the original march. "There was one guy far out in the desert who survived the real death march and he was determined to shake the hand of everybody going past his water station. It was great to meet him," said Conley.
On April 9 in 1942, Japanese forces captured 75,000 American and Filipino soldiers defending the Philippine islands of Luzon and Corregidor. They were forced march for days through the steaming Philippine jungle to a prisoner of war camp. It is estimated 12,000 prisoners died on the march through intentional cruelty of their captors, starvation and disease.
Some of those captives were members of the New Mexico National Guard. The ROTC (officer training course) at New Mexico University 24 years ago decided to recreate a shadow of that march to salute the survivors, some of whom still live in the state. There were 100 in the first march and about 5,400 last year.
The march/run starts at an outdoor museum on the White Sands Missile Range. The museum displays models of every missile, rocket and weapon ever tested over New Mexico's empty desert – including Fat Man, the very first atomic bomb. It was detonated on the White Sands Proving Grounds, as they were then called, on July 6, 1945.
More information and registration for the marathon is available at www.bataanmarch.com
You don't have to join the death march to explore the White Sands Missile Range. The base museum is open to the public year round and you can drive on a portion of the missile range. White Sands National Memorial is a national park and derives its name from the 712-square-kilometres of great waves of white sand. It's one of the world's great natural wonders and you can hike it at your leisure.

This week, I've done plenty of complaining about my attempts to get Xfce 4.10 running, but I'm not done yet. I also complained about my inability to compile the GIMP 2.8. I'm not done trying there either. But that doesn't adequately sum up all the Slackware-related things I've tried at and royally screwed up this week.
Also, hey, success!
Believe it or not, I've had a great deal of fun at all this, in spite of the failure. Aside from the freedoms using Linux affords me, the thing I love most about it is the feeling of exploration. All this hands-on time is as good as it gets. I'm learning more about Linux than I have since those first few months. I doubt that any Windows or Mac user can claim to know their computer's brain so well.
I can't get Xfce 4.10 to build and after a little more experimentation with Ralvex's builds, I reverted to Pat's 4.6 build. I stuck with Xfce for a few days, and during that time, I preferred it to my usual Gnome setup, but Gnome has and probably always will draw me back in the end.
In spite of Gnome Shell's alien appearances, there is a distinct Gnome feeling that ties it to Gnome 1, where I started out almost ten years ago. Someday I may try to articulate precisely what that is.
Why didn't I stick with Ralvex's Xfce 4.10 once I got it installed?
- Ralvex's build omits Thunar. With all the other libraries and base packages pre-built, it is no trouble at all to build Thunar from source. However, I think this fact alone will make it unsuitable for users looking for a pre-made solution.
- It has a screwed up desktop. My desktop background isn't shown, and the file manager doesn't handle putting up file and folder icons. I didn't investigate the cause of this one too thoroughly, but I imagine Xfce-desktop is missing. That's another non-trivial omission.
- It seems to rely on Qt widgets even to the point that Xfce's settings manager doesn't change their theme but KDE's does. This one has me totally befuddled. Part of why I feel so at home in Xfce is that it uses the GTK+2 widgets. I've never been a fan of the Qt look-and-feel. To add to that insult the (resource) injury of starting KDE services just to change the appearance of my controls totally defeats the two main purposes of running Xfce (namely the familiar looks and light memory/CPU needs).
One striking quirk I've noticed due to my recent desktop hopping is that Alien's VLC 2.0.1 looks better in GTK+ environments (Gnome and Xfce) than it does in a Qt environment (KDE). For those who don't know, VLC is most commonly seen in its Qt4 form. That is, it is built from Qt widgets and should look most at home and integrated on a desktop that's also built on Qt. Instead, running VLC on KDE in fullscreen mode leaves the controls looking a right mess.
In this case, I'm glad I'm a Gnome user.
Kernel 3.x
One big complaint I've had since switching to Slackware is that I was having daily crashes. On average, it had been once a day. Sometimes it wouldn't happen at all; sometimes it would be two or three times a day. The kernel panic message onscreen indicated a problem with the wifi driver. Also, there seemed to be a correlation with heavy wifi traffic and the crashes. That is, the longer I ran Deluge, the more problems I would see.
How did I fix it?
First, I tried upgrading to the 2.6.38 kernel from /testing on the Slackware64-13.37 servers. In my use over about two weeks, that didn't seem any different from 2.6.37. Failing a fix when I reinstalled my card's microcode, I tried building the latest kernel myself.
Kernel 3.3.4 builds, installs, and boots using Pat's configuration from the 2.6.37/38 series. Most everything works but I have to turn off the firewall to use the Web (yes, it's configured properly for normal use). It feels faster than 2.6.3x, but the interference with the firewall is a showstopping bug and I would worry about other troubles in the future.
Finally, I decided to grab the kernel from Slackware-current (3.2.13), and I've been running that for a couple days without any trouble at all. Best of all, there are no more panics. However, I don't feel the improvement in speed I saw from 3.3.4. That said, keeping all the functionality from previous kernels and adding in the stability they were missing is more than good enough.
If I feel it necessary, I'll try building the latest kernel again. This time, though, I'll use the configuration from the 3.2 kernel. It will probably work better.
Goodbye, crashes. Hello, famous Slackware stability.
gtkmm compatibility fixes
This item will be of interest to Gnome Slackbuild users who also use packages from Salix or SlackBuilds.org. For those who don't know, gtkmm is the C++ binding to GTK+.
Earlier, I had complained that I had to choose between gtkmm2 and gtkmm3 programs, as installing the GSB package kept other programs working and installing gtkmm2 kept gtkmm3 programs, including Gnome's System Monitor, from running. I've found a workaround.
Since the files in GSB's packages are fully separate from Salix's package's files, there are two ways of going about it.
(1) You can alter one of the packages' names to trick your package manager into installing both. Ordinarily, it will see gtkmm3 as an upgrade when in reality it is no more an upgrade than GTK+3 is over GTK+2. As with GTK itself, most users will want both versions side-by-side. Simply unzip gtkmm2's txz, change the slack-desc file, zip it back up, and instal it.
(2) Alternatively, you could repackage both gtkmm2 and gtkmm3 into one file. I chose the first option for its simplicity, but this is just as viable. Just keep your eyes open for upgrades upstream.
For maximum fun, and since at least one Slacker is a fellow Deadhead, I'm going to name a Grateful Dead performance of the week. I've really been enjoying the concert captured on One From the Vault this week. I hope you will, too.

Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself. Unless You Can See Their Garbage. Then, Not So Much.
Where some Sioux Falls residents place their garbage is raising quite a stink in the city limits. Now, the Sioux Falls city council will consider an ordinance that will force homeowners to keep trash bins hidden, "less inconspicuous" locations, inside the garage, or hidden from street view.
Dave McElroy, Sioux Falls Landfill supervisor, said in an interview with the Argus Leader, that his department receives several complaints from people who don't like the sight of their neighbor's trash bins.
The proposed ordinance has some city garbage collectors concerned saying that if their driver has to track down waste bins, it will take more time to complete the route and increased fuel usage per truck will force them to raise prices.
The proposed ordinance specifically states that "residential containers cannot be stored in front of a home or garage, expect on garbage day and garbage and recycling containers must be kept inside, beside or behind the structure or in a screened or enclosed area."
If you would like to weigh in on the subject, the public will have a chance to address the council before the vote on July 1st, 7:00 p.m. at city hall.

Confronted with significant new NCAA medical regulations, Chestnut Hill College's Erin Fidler went online seeking advice and opinions on the issue from other professionals. Head Athletic Trainer at CHC and a former graduate trainer at Penn Charter, Fidler was researching the requirement for Division II colleges and universities to begin testing all student athletes for sickle cell trait (SCT) starting at the beginning of the 2012-2013 academic year.
Her efforts to learn about the trait and the new NCAA rules eventually led to her writing an article that was published in the June 2012 issue of the Journal of the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Unlike sickle cell anemia, SCT is an inherited condition which does not prevent a person from participating in athletic activities. However, without an awareness of the trait and the observance of proper precautions when exercising, practicing, and competing, there can be severe complications, and in the extreme, death can occur.
"Basically, if you have the trait, in most cases it's not going to keep you from doing anything," Fidler said, "and they've found that you can gradually progress your workouts safely so that you can get used to it.
"Some can get SCT symptoms worse that others," she continued, "but generally, you need recovery time between high-energy work, suicide sprints and so on, and you need to stay hydrated. A lot of the precautions are the same as any athlete should take, but you really need to observe them strictly."
At the onset of "sickling," the Griffins' head trainer explained, "You would first start noticing it when you can't get blood supply to your muscles. If you try to push through it, it'll get worse until finally, your organs will start shutting down. You need to stop eight away, because the sickling effect may continue for awhile after you stop. If you act quickly, your body can get back to normal in 30 minutes, but you should still take it easy for a couple hours."
The NCAA issued a requirement for Division I athletic programs to begin a screening process for SCT (through blood testing) in April of 2010.
"We knew it was going to trickle down the line, and this is the first year Division II has to do it," said Fidler, who has a Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training and a Master's in Kinesiology. "I think you'll see Division III schools required to do the testing in the near future."
She began to look into the issue not long after the Division I mandate.
"When I began to do some research, I found there wasn't a lot of information available," she related. "I did a lot of digging, and I thought it would be good to put something out there for the actual strength coaches, the ones who are directly training the athletes. I thought I would share what I found, and hopefully it would help other people."
While she has not received an overwhelming response to her article so far, she revealed, "I've gotten some feedback from other Division II schools, and someone from Chicago called me about it, so I know it's being read."
Fewer people have heard of sickle cell trait than sickle cell anemia, and Fidler differentiated the two disorders in her published piece.
"Sickle cell trait is a condition acquired through inheritance, not ethnicity. It is the inheritance of one gene for normal hemoglobin (A) and one gene for sickle hemoglobin (S), giving the genotype AS. Sickle cell trait is not sickle sell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is a disease formed by two abnormal sickle genes (SS), causing regular health problems. Sickle cell trait will not turn into the disease."
Basically, those with SCT carry one copy of the sickle mutation, inherited from just one of their parents, while the presence of the gene in both parents leads to sickle cell anemia in their offspring.
Her piece goes on to point out that approximately eight percent of African Americans are carriers of the gene. Also at risk, to a lesser extent, are persons of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, Caribean, and South and Central American ancestry. However, no ancestral or ethnic group appears to be entirely immune, hence the importance of the testing.
"Now that we do the screening, we found that four of our athletes have it," Fidler said. "Two of them had no idea that they had it, and one of them is actually Caucasian."
"To my knowledge, we had not dealt with complications from sickle cell trait at CHC," added Fidler, who began to work at the college in the fall of 2005 and became Head Athletic Trainer four years later. "No one knew they had it coming in to Chestnut Hill and experienced a problem while they were here."
As one might deduce from the demographic groups among whom SCT is most prevalent, there is a connection with tropical and sub-tropical climates. The development of the trait is believed to be a form of natural defense against the disease that is a widespread scourge in those areas, malaria.
Recent research at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) in Portugal has linked the presence of sickle hemoglobin with an enzyme that confers protection against the disease. The Malarial parasite, Plasmodium, is still present in the blood but, as the scientific journal Cell quoted IGC researcher Miguel Soares, "sickle hemoglobin makes the host tolerant to the parasite."
It's nice to know that SCT has at least one benefit, but Fidler and her peers must concern themselves with its possible negative effects. Her article explained how this can occur.
"During intense maximum exercise, a decrease in oxygen levels can cause some of the red blood cells to change from their normal disc shape to a sickle or quarter moon shape. These sickled cells will adhere and block blood vessels in the muscles, kidneys, and other organs, leading to tissue death and failure. The harder and faster the athlete works, the earlier and greater the chance sickling will occur."
The symptoms are often similar to those found with heat exhaustion, but sickling and its effects occur more quickly than heat-related problems.
"This is a little different, where you don't have to be outside for very long in the heat," Fidler pointed out.
Sickling can produce sensations of muscle cramping and tenderness, fatigue, and an inability to catch one's breath. SCT difficulties are very common when an athlete with the trait abruptly embarks upon a rigorous training regime after a period of relatively light physical activity. Many cases occur at military boot camps, and in the earliest summer practices for football players.
At colleges, Fidler said, "It's probably most prevalent in Division I football, but it can happen anywhere, really."
At the Division I level, schools can often afford to bring in medical personnel to do their own testing on campus, but at schools like Chestnut Hill the blood tests are usually arranged through a family physician.
"If someone tests positive, we'll sit down with them and counsel them," Fidler noted. "We'll let them know what this means, that they have to be careful when they're doing a lot of sprinting and those kinds of things, and that if they feel a certain way they should let us know. We keep the coaches informed, as well."
"There are some people who refuse to be tested, and in that case they can sign a legal waiver," said the CHC trainer. "When they do that, the policy is to treat them as if they have the trait."
Increased awareness of the disorder will eventually take some of the testing burden off of college athletic programs.
"Nowadays, all babies in the U.S. are tested at birth, and some states started it as far back at the 1970's," Fidler explained. "So as those children get older, before long everyone coming into college will already know their status."

Journalist Attempts To Silence Criticism Of Her Ethics By Brandishing The Club Of UK Defamation Laws
from the journalism dept
While a lot of the controversy is over those accusations, that's not the really controversial thing that happened. That's because part of Florence's article quoted some tweets from Lauren Wainwright, who worked for another publication, and then pointed out that the tweets at least raised concerns in his mind. Here's what he wrote:
One games journalist, Lauren Wainwright, tweeted: "Urm… Trion were giving away PS3s to journalists at the GMAs. Not sure why that's a bad thing?"Now, I actually have gone an extra paragraph past the stuff just about Wainwright, in part because the four paragraphs above no longer appear in the article. Why? Well, according to Eurogamer, it edited out those paragraphs after legal threats from Wainwright.
Now, a few tweets earlier, she also tweeted this: "Lara header, two TR pix in the gallery and a very subtle TR background. #obsessed @tombraider pic.twitter.com/VOWDSavZ"
And instantly I am suspicious. I am suspicious of this journalist's apparent love for Tomb Raider. I am asking myself whether she's in the pocket of the Tomb Raider PR team. I'm sure she isn't, but the doubt is there. After all, she sees nothing wrong with journalists promoting a game to win a PS3, right?
Another journalist, one of the winners of the PS3 competition, tweeted this at disgusted RPS writer John Walker: "It was a hashtag, not an advert. Get off the pedestal." Now, this was Dave Cook, a guy I've met before. A good guy, as far as I could tell. But I don't believe for one second that Dave doesn't understand that in this time of social media madness a hashtag is just as powerful as an advert. Either he's on the defensive or he doesn't get what being a journalist is actually about.
The first is that a lot of people want to know more about why I made the changes and issued an apology. The answer is that Lauren Wainwright threatened us with legal action and made it clear she would not back down, at which point we took legal advice and ultimately made the decision to remove the paragraphs. It was not a decision that I took lightly. One objection to this action that I've read online is that there was no libel. All I can really say is that the advice we received meant that removing the offending text and apologising to Lauren was the right course of action to take. We also considered the fact that the article wasn't really about her but about all of us, and I felt that the edited version did not change Rab's meaning.Of course, as we all know, all this has really done is call a hell of a lot more attention to what she said and did, including further accusations coming out later about some of her actions, as well as many more people reading the paragraphs she threatened over.
It's entirely possible that Eurogamer removed the content because of the cost that would be involved in fighting off a lawsuit, but it is a big issue to see a journalist threaten another publication over quoting her and expressing an opinion. Wainwright could have merely responded to the questions directly -- but going so far as to threaten litigation is ridiculous and deserves to be called out. In fact, as Erik Kain at Forbes points out in the link above, it's not just ridiculous, it's hypocritical, since Wainwright herself has a history of quoting others' tweets and then adding commentary.
What it highlights is that she apparently didn't like Florence's opinion, which is clearly stated as his opinion. He worries about even the appearance of possible bias, which is a reasonable position to take. But rather than leading to an interesting discussion about bias and journalism, it instead went into this ridiculous detour about defamation law and censorship over criticism.

Tricie needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 70 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
I'm an experienced, passionate and energetic coach and facilitator. I'm looking for a logo that will grab the attention of professional women 35-55 years old, who are searching for a more wholistic approach to life - mind, body, spirit. They seek life balance; feeling of empowerment- choice; and take the opportunity to renew and reconnect with their inner wisdom in order to live life and work more authentically...Design a logo that will ignite JOY, PASSION, TRUST, EXCITEMENT AND EMPOWERMENT. Thank you
Wisdom in One
I'm currently going through a re-branding after being in practise for over 11 years. As part of this I have renamed my business in order to reflect the evolutionary process of my coaching and facilitation practise. My philosophy starts with having an approach to living that includes all our intelligences - that of the mind, body (physical), emotion, spirit (otherwise akin to inner wisdom). I'm looking for a logo that will ignite a sense of joy, excitement, empowerment, trust and passion. Strong but peaceful. A connection with their spirit - the inner wisdom that we all have but under-value because society values knowledge-based living so much more. A person has inner wisdom and a person connects with others through the 'synregy' that exists between all living things. My services particularly as a coach will take (women) clients on a journey of self-discovery and reconnection with their authentic-selves, which may be different than the self society has moulded them into. As a coach I am passionate about supporting women reconnect with their passions, their joys and their dreams. They can start a journey of self-awareness and self- discovery in order to make conscious decisions about their lives with vision.
- Vibrant yet peaceful colours
- strong confident feel without being too corporate
- a link with eyes( as the window to your soul??)
- wholisitc feel
- cosmic feel?
- goddess feel without being to alternative

'Double Fulbrighter' to teach in Korea
Sang Yoon, professor of art, design and art history
James Madison University Professor Sang Yoon is preparing for her second journey to South Korea as a Fulbright Scholar. According to Fulbright records dating to 1998, she is JMU's first two-time Fulbright award winner.
Yoon, who teaches graphic design in the School of Art, Design and Art History, will share her talents and knowledge with students at Kyung Hee University for 10 months, beginning in March 2013. She will teach as part of the Core Fulbright Scholar Program.
Her previous Fulbright experience was as the recipient of a 2007 Fulbright Research Grant. The fruit of her three-month study was "The Street Graphics of Seoul: A Culturally-focused Contribution to the Study of Urban Graphics," a project she has presented at three international conferences in Hawaii, Venice and Athens.
While Yoon taught one course in 2007, her upcoming Fulbright-sponsored residency will completely focus on teaching graphic design to undergraduate, master's and doctoral students at Kyung Hee University. Yoon, a native of South Korea, will teach in English since students are required to take several courses within their programs of study in the language.
She is currently revamping content from courses she teaches at JMU to accommodate the curriculum and culture she will encounter in South Korea. In addition to teaching typography in English and Korean alphabets, Yoon has been asked to add Chinese characters to the mix. "Since I have worked with English fonts only in the U.S., I am working on finding out what kinds of Korean and Chinese fonts are available for my students to use," she said.
"I'm anxious to share with my Korean students, both my work and that of my JMU students," Yoon said. "Likewise, I'll share my Korean students' work with my students here upon my return."
Before coming to the United States in 1983, Yoon, a graduate of Seoul National University's bachelor of fine arts program, was a graphic designer for a cosmetics packaging company and an advertising company. She earned a scholarship to study at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, graduated with a master of fine arts degree in 1988 and joined the JMU faculty that fall semester.

Pernah mendapat tugas membuat narrative text? Atau sedang membuat skripsi bahasa Inggris dengan variable narrative text? Santai saja, di sini akan dijelaskan secara singkat mengenai teks naratif.
Narrative text, dalam mata kuliah writing and composition biasanya disebut narration, adalah salah satu jenis teks dalam sebuah bahasa. Biasanya, narrative text (teks naratif) berisi tentang cerita--baik cerita fiksi, cerita non-fiksi, dongeng, cerita rakyat, cerita binatang / fabel dll, pokoknya semua hal tentang cerita ya narrative namanya... :-)
Mengacu pada keterangan di atas, contoh - contoh narrative text sebenarnya sudah banyak diterbitkan dalam blog ini, seperti :
- Cerita Legenda Bahasa Inggris Terpopuler
- Kumpulan Dongeng Bahasa Inggris Pilihan
- Cerita Binatang / Fabel Bahasa Inggris
- Cerita Nabi berbahasa Inggris Pendek
Mudah bukan?
Sekarang sedikit serius, karena akan menjurus pada penjelasan, oke...
Pengertian Narrative Text
Disebutkan bahwa A narrative text is an imaginative story to entertain people (teks narasi adalah cerita imaginatif yang bertujuan menghibur orang).
Jika melihat pada kamus bahasa Inggris, secara harfiah narrative bermakna (1) a spoken or written account of connected events; a story. (2) the narrated part of a literary work, as distinct from dialogue. (3) the practice or art of narration.
(Narrative bermakna : 1. sebuah cerita baik terucap atau tertulis tentang peristiwa-peristiwa yang berhubungan. 2. bagian yang diceritakan dalam sebuah karya sastra, berbeda dengan dialog. 3. Praktik atau seni bercerita)
Jika disimpulkan, maka sebuah narrative text adalah teks yang berisi sebuah cerita baik tertulis ataupun tidak tertulis dan terdapat rangkaian peristiwa yang saling terhubung.
Generic Structure dari Narrative Text
Bagi sobat yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah tingkat menengah, penjelasan mengenai narrative texts tak usah sulit-sulit ya.. Intinya, narrative text ini mempunyai struktur / susunan seperti di bawah ini :
- Orientation : It is about the opening paragraph where the characters of the story are introduced.(berisi pengenalan tokoh, tempat dan waktu terjadinya cerita (siapa atau apa, kapan dan dimana)
- Complication : Where the problems in the story developed. (Permasalahan muncul / mulai terjadi dan berkembang)
- Resolution : Where the problems in the story is solved. Masalah selesai, --- secara baik "happy ending" ataupun buruk "bad ending".
Kadangkala susunan (generic structure) narrative text bisa berisi: Orientation, Complication, Evaluation, Resolution dan Reorientation. Meski "Evaluation" dan "Reorientation" merupakan optional; bisa ditambahkan dan bisa tidak. Evaluation berisi penilaian/evaluasi terhadap jalannya cerita atau konflik. Sedangkan Reorientation berisi penyimpulan isi akhir cerita.
Jika sudah mahir membuat cerita narrative, susunannya bisa diubah-ubah kok, yang terpenting bagian-bagian di atas masih tetap ada dalam tulisan narrative sobat.
Grammar (tata bahasa) yang sering muncul dalam membuat narrative text adalah:
Menggunakan tenses "Past", baik simple, past perfect, past continuous, past perfect continuous, atau bisa saja past future continuous. (aturan ini bukan aturan wajib yang mutlak harus dipenuhi kok. Tidak percaya, tanyakan pada guru bahasa Inggris sobat)

The Legend of Rawa Pening
Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a "lesung", a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, "please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this "lesung" as a boat". The "lesung" was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. "Can I try?" asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him, he used the "lesung" as a boat and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.
Penjelasan Narrative Text (untuk tingkat Mahir)
Untuk mengetahui definisi dan penjelasan tentang narration (narrative text) sobat mahasiswa dan mahasiswi bisa membaca buku buku tentang writing di perpustakaan terdekat dan terlengkap, dan disini saya hanya akan mengutipkan pendapat Thomas S. Kane (2000: 363-364) di bawah ini:
A narrative is a meaningful sequence of events told in words. It is sequential in that the events are ordered, not merely random. Sequence always involves an arrangement in time (and usually other arrangements as well). A straightforward movement from the first event to the last constitutes the simplest chronology. However, chronology is sometimes complicated by presenting the events in another order: for example, a story may open with the final episode and then flash back to all that preceded it.
A narrative has meaning in that it conveys an evaluation of some kind. The writer reacts to the story he or she tells, and states or implies that reaction. This is the "meaning," sometimes called the "theme," of a story. Meaning must always be rendered. The writer has to do more than tell us the truth he sees in the story; he must manifest that truth in the characters and the action.
Characters and action are the essential elements of any story. Also important, but not as essential, is the setting, the place where the action occurs. Characters are usually people—sometimes actual people, as in history books or newspaper stories, sometimes imaginary ones, as in novels. Occasionally characters are animals (as in an Aesop fable), and sometimes a dominant feature of the environment functions almost like a character (the sea, an old house).
The action is what the characters say and do and anything that happens to them, even if it arises from a nonhuman source—a storm, for instance, or a fire. Action is often presented in the form of a plot. Action is, so to speak, the raw material; plot, the finished product, the fitting together of the bits and pieces of action into a coherent pattern. Usually, though not invariably, plot takes the form of a cause-and effect chain: event A produces event B; B leads to C; C to D; and so on until the final episode, X. In a well-constructed plot of this kind we can work back from X to A and see the connections that made the end of the story likely and perhaps inevitable.
Stories can be very long and complicated, with many characters, elaborate plots, and subtle interpenetration of character, action, and setting. In writing that is primarily expository, however, narratives are shorter and simpler. Most often they are factual rather than imaginary, as when an historian describes an event. And often in exposition an illustration may involve a simple narrative. Being able to tell a story, then, while not the primary concern of the expository writer, is a skill which he or she will now and again be called upon to use.

Why should you study in Sint Maarten? There are plenty of locations throughout the world to study, but this particular destination is unique. It offers small class sizes in modern classrooms. You will also find that many of the schools offer advanced programs and better opportunities for research and growth since the schools are smaller. It is also important to realize that there is less likelihood of being turned away here as an international student since there are usually openings available in most programs.
The academic year runs September through May in this area, but as with most colleges programs may differ based on the course of study. In addition research based programs tend to be year round. Most students will begin applying in April or May of the year they wish to attend.
In terms of costs for enrolling here, it is important to know that these differ significantly from one school to the next as well as from one program to the next. The duration of most degrees, including those that fall under the bachelor degree protocol, tends to be three to four years. Most students will also have access to masters education options. Masters degree programs will take one or three years depending on the program selected.
There are many, many programs available including those in sciences, humanities, legal, and business. Health and research are also big components of the student base here. International students are often welcomed at all of these programs. Applications are taken and filled based on a first come first serve basis.
Once graduating, students will find some career opportunities in Sint Maarten. International students will need to apply for a student visa while studying and then a work visa from a company who is promising employment after graduation. The economy here is strong, but it is not as diverse or in demand of employees as some other regions. Finding employment really depends on whether or not the student's career field is in demand. Health careers, business development, and finance tend to be the most in demand.
Useful tips:
Students interested in studying in Sint Maarten should work closely with the school they've selected to find the right combination of benefits. In nearly all cases, the school can help with securing the necessary student travel visas, accommodations, health insurance, and room and board. This can also be done through the embassy of the international student. Overall, studying here can be invigorating, but remaining long term really depends on the industry of study for the student.

Gloria Stuart, a 1930s Hollywood leading lady who earned an Academy Award nomination for her first significant role in nearly 60 years — as Old Rose, the centenarian survivor of the Titanic in James Cameron's 1997 Oscar-winning film — has died. She was 100.
Gloria Stuart: The obituary in the Sept. 28 LATExtra section of Gloria Stuart, the actress who became an artist and fine printer, said that her artwork is in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, among others. Her work is collected in the Getty Research Institute, not the museum. —
Stuart, a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild who later became an accomplished painter and fine printer, died Sunday night at her West Los Angeles home, said her daughter, writer Sylvia Thompson.
Stuart had been diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago.
"She also was a breast cancer survivor," Thompson said, "but she just paid no attention to illness. She was a very strong woman and had other fish to fry."
In July the actress was honored at an "Academy Centennial Celebration With Gloria Stuart" at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
"She was a charming and beautiful leading lady in the '30s, and I never understood why her career didn't go further at that time," film historian and critic Leonard Maltin, who interviewed Stuart on stage at the event, told The Times on Monday.
As for Stuart's high-profile comeback in "Titanic": "She was thrilled by the attention that that performance brought her and really wanted to win that Oscar. I thought she hit just the right notes in that performance. She was wry and engaging."
As a glamorous blond actress under contract to Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox in the 1930s, Stuart appeared opposite Claude Rains in James Whale's "The Invisible Man" and with Warner Baxter in John Ford's "The Prisoner of Shark Island."
She also appeared with Eddie Cantor in "Roman Scandals," with Dick Powell in Busby Berkeley's "Gold Diggers of 1935" and with James Cagney in "Here Comes the Navy." And she played romantic leads in two Shirley Temple movies, "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm."
But mostly she played what Stuart later dismissed as "stupid parts with nothing to do" — "girl reporter, girl detective, girl nurse" — and "it became increasingly evident to me I wasn't going to get to be a big star like Katharine Hepburn and Loretta Young."
After making 42 feature films between 1932 and 1939, Stuart's latest studio contract, with 20th Century Fox, was not renewed. She appeared in only four films in the 1940s and retired from the screen in 1946.
By 1974, "the blond lovely of the talkies" had become an entry in one of Richard Lamparski's "Whatever Happened to" books.
Writer-director Cameron's $200-million "Titanic" changed that.
Stuart played Rose Calvert, the 100-year-old Titanic survivor who shows up after modern-day treasure hunters searching through the wreckage of the sunken ship find a charcoal drawing of her wearing a priceless blue diamond necklace.
Stuart's performance as Old Rose frames the 1997 romantic- drama that starred Leonardo DiCaprio as lower-class artist Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as the upper-class young Rose.
In "Gloria Stuart: I Just Kept Hoping," her 1999 autobiography, Stuart said that after reading the script, "I knew the role I had wanted and waited for all these many years had arrived! I could taste the role of Old Rose!"
Cameron told The Times in a 1997 interview that he chose Stuart because he was "looking for a pro from the '30s or '40s, someone probably retired, maybe off the Hollywood radar for awhile."
"I had to have someone who'd play the latter part of the life of someone we'd recognize, Kate Winslet, so it couldn't be someone like Katharine Hepburn. We know so well what she looked like [when she was young]," Cameron said. "Gloria had just enough distance, and she gave this fantastic reading."
At 87, Stuart became the oldest actress ever nominated for an Academy Award.
In addition to Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, she won a Screen Actors Guild award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role (tying with eventual Oscar-winner Kim Basinger for "L.A. Confidential").
In the multiple-Oscar-winning blockbuster's wake, Stuart found herself swamped with fan mail and interview requests. She also was faced with being recognized in the supermarket and finding her old films resurfacing on television. People magazine even named her one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.
In 2000, several hundred fans gathered on Hollywood Boulevard next to the Egyptian Theater for the unveiling of Stuart's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"I cannot begin to tell you how rewarding and nourishing and warming it is," she said at the ceremony. "I wake up every day and say, 'What a wonderful life. How lucky I am.' "
A third-generation Californian, she was born Gloria Stewart in Santa Monica on the Fourth of July, 1910. She later changed the spelling of her last name to Stuart, reasoning that the six letters would balance perfectly on a theater marquee with the six letters in "Gloria."
In high school, she took classes in short-story and poetry-writing and worked for free as a "girl reporter" at the Santa Monica Outlook.
While attending UC Berkeley, where she acted in a campus theatrical group, Stuart met a handsome young sculptor, Gordon Newell. They were married in 1930 and moved to Carmel, where she worked on the local newspaper and appeared in little theater productions.
In 1932, after playing Masha in a little theater production of Chekhov's "The Seagull" in Carmel, the visiting director asked her to play the role again in a small theater in the Los Angeles area.
Casting directors from both Paramount and Universal saw her performance and offered her screen tests. She wound up signing a seven-year contract with Universal: $125 a week to start, with singing and acting lessons included.
Stuart's union activities began while making Whale's 1932 horror comedy "The Old Dark House" with Boris Karloff and Melvyn Douglas.
"All of us were just exhausted by the long hours, and Melvyn Douglas leaned over to me in this theatrical way," she recalled in a 1998 Los Angeles Times interview. "He whispered the word 'union' in my ear. And I thought, 'Yes!' "
At the time, she wrote in her autobiography, "Actors worked unconscionable hours — especially females, because every morning our needs included a great deal of time in hairdressing and makeup. Meals were served at the convenience of the production staff. There was no allotment for travel time, no standard hours between work calls, no pay for overtime or double overtime — what we call golden time. And if an actor under contract refused a role the studio had chosen, he/she was suspended without pay — and the time was added on to the contract!"
Despite stiff studio resistance, the Screen Actors Guild was founded in 1933.
Discovering that she "took to politics like a duck to water," Stuart helped form the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League in 1936, the same year she and writer Dorothy Parker helped organize the League to Support the Spanish War Orphans. She also became a member of the Hollywood Democratic Committee and was on the executive board of the California State Democratic Committee.
Stuart's fledgling movie career took a toll on her marriage to Newell and they divorced. In 1934, she married screenwriter Arthur Sheekman, with whom she had her daughter Sylvia.
Stuart, whose career at Universal failed to take off, signed with 20th Century Fox in 1935.
After Fox declined to renew her contract in 1939, she acted in summer theater on the East Coast and made a failed attempt at Broadway before returning to Hollywood and turning her creative energies into the art of decoupage. She opened a shop on La Cienega Boulevard called Décor Ltd., which lasted more than four years.
In 1954, inspired by an exhibition of Impressionist paintings in Paris, she began painting. Her first one-woman show, at the Hammer Galleries in New York in 1961, was a critical hit. Art News called her "a deft primitive with a beguiling variety of subjects." She went on to have exhibits in major galleries.
In 1975, four years after her husband was stricken with Alzheimer's disease, Stuart decided to return to acting. From 1975 to 1988, she had about a dozen minor roles on TV and in movies, including dancing with Peter O'Toole in a nightclub scene in the 1982 film "My Favorite Year."
As her husband became ill, Stuart began taking classes in bonsai. She became an honored member of local bonsai clubs, and her trees are in the bonsai collection at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino.
Five years after Sheekman's death in 1978, Stuart renewed a friendship with an old friend from her college years: Ward Ritchie, who had become a world-renowned master printer. The friendship quickly grew into an autumn romance. From Ritchie, Stuart developed an interest in fine letter-press printing and bought her own hand press.
She devoted much of her time to designing and printing artists' books (handmade, letter-press printed books in limited editions, with her own artwork and writing). Her work is in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and other museums.
About four months after Ritchie's death in 1996 at 91, Stuart received a call from James Cameron's casting director, Mali Finn.
"The next day, Jim came with a video camera," Stuart told The Times in 1997. "I read for him for about an hour, then I didn't hear anything, so I wrote him a letter and said, 'I've re-read the script and I should've given it a feistier reading.' I mailed it on Friday and Monday Mali Finn called and said, 'How would you like to be Old Rose?' I screamed and hollered."
Besides her daughter, Stuart is survived by four grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
A private funeral service will be held.
