In 1926, an African-American woman and her two brothers, accused of killing a Sheriff, were dragged from a South Carolina jail and towed behind a car to an area where a thousand people stood to watch as they were shot and mutilated to death. Local authorities, including the jailer and deputy sheriff, brazenly participated in the incident known as the "Lowman lynchings."1 However, no one was ever prosecuted for the deaths, and many in the local community — among them Harold Arnoldus Stevens — were deeply affected. In college at the time, Stevens then became determined to be a part of the legal system and use it as a tool to eliminate such injustice. "He said the incident 'cemented' a determination already formed while in high school to become a lawyer.'"2 In a 1958 interview, Judge Stevens explained "I was inspired to study law because it was our best bet to eliminate things like this."3 Throughout his many years of legal service, Judge Stevens remained vigilant in his fight against persecution and prejudice. He celebrated a life of many firsts, including becoming the first African-American Judge to sit on the New York State Court of Appeals in its 128-year history.
Judge Harold Arnoldus Stevens was born on October 19, 1907 on a farm of approximately 1,000 acres on John's Island, South Carolina. The farm was owned by Judge Stevens' father, William F. Stevens, a blacksmith, and his grandfather, Quash Stevens, a former slave and wealthy planter.4 Quash was the son of the island's owner and slave holder, Elias Vanderhorst,5 whose brother Arnoldus Vanderhorst IV held Quash as a slave. After acquiring freedom, however, Quash remained loyal to the Vanderhorst family. Judge Stevens, who spent some of his early years with Quash, was given the middle name Arnoldus, common to the Vandorhorsts.
Judge Stevens' mother, Lilla Johnson Stevens, was a school teacher. The youngest of four boys, Stevens lived on John's Island with his parents and grandfather until the age of three. After his father died, Stevens' mother moved the family to Columbia, South Carolina where they lived with his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Johnson. Judge Stevens described his mother and grandfather James, a minister turned business man, as the greatest influences in his life. Johnson "schooled him in the love of poetry, music, history and biography."6 Judge Stevens' mother eventually remarried to the Reverend John D. Whitaker.
Stevens attended Claflin College High School in South Carolina and, in 1930, earned an A.B. from Benedict College, in Columbia, South Carolina. Unable to attend law school in the then-segregated South, Stevens moved to Boston, where he attended Boston College School of Law and was vice president of his class. In 1936, Stevens became the first African-American and the first non-Catholic to graduate from the law school, earning an LL.B. degree in labor law. Shortly after graduation, he converted to Roman Catholicism which would come to play a major role in this life. Stevens was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1936, the New York State Bar in 1938, and the South Carolina Bar in 1940. He received admission to practice in the Federal Courts and the United States Supreme Court.
Around 1938, Stevens moved to New York where he started his legal career as a clerk in the law offices of Harlem Assemblyman William T. Andrews. Andrews offered Stevens a junior partnership, and Stevens developed himself into an expert in labor law. He represented the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Brotherhood of Colored Locomotive Firemen.7 Stevens remained in private practice until 1950; he was a partner in Dyett & Stevens (1942-1948) and Brandenburg & Stevens (1948-1950). Around the same time, from 1938 to 1942 and 1947 to 1950, Stevens served as a labor law instructor at the Association of Catholic Trade Unionist.
On Christmas Day, 1938, Stevens returned to South Carolina to marry Ella Clyde Myers, whom he had known since grade school and, like him, had attended Benedict College.8 The couple moved to Manhattan, "for he had fallen in love with the city."9 In a New York Times interview, Judge Stevens recalled "a long, hectic trip South . . . to deal with the problems of Negro sleeping car porters, and the relief and joy he felt when, returning at night across the jersey meadows, he saw the twinkling panorama of city lights. 'I can't imagine living anywhere else,'" he said.10 Judge Stevens and Ella did not have any children, and settled in Harlem where they engaged in various religious, social, and charitable activities.
After President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802 (June 25, 1941), which prohibited government contractors from engaging in employment discrimination based on race, color or national origin, Stevens was an appointed member of the President's Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC). He also served on the provisional committee to organize black locomotive firemen. In 1943, Stevens resigned from the FEPC in protest to an order by the chairman of the War Manpower Commission indefinitely postponing hearings on complaints of discrimination against African-American firemen and brakemen on railroads. In his resignation letter, Stevens called the order "a blow to the Negro railroad workers who looked to your committee for some solution or adjustment to their problems. . . ."11 Stevens wrote "[t]he fight for democracy and justice, like charity, must begin at home."12 That same year, he enlisted in the then-segregated United States Army. He served as a Buffalo Soldier at West Point, and was a World War II veteran.13
In 1945, Stevens was a member of the voluntary legal panel of the Workers Defense League. On behalf of the labor group, he filed an amici curiae brief in the United States Supreme Court case Morgan v. Virginia (38 US 373 [1946]), involving a challenge to racial segregation on buses. Morgan involved the constitutionality of a Virginia statute that made it a misdemeanor for passenger motor vehicle carriers to allow black and white passengers to occupy adjacent seats. The statute required the driver or other person in charge of the vehicle "to increase or decrease the space allotted to the respective races as [was] necessary or proper."14 Drivers could direct passengers to change their seats to accommodate the statute's separation requirement.
Irene Morgan, a young African-American woman, defied a driver's order to surrender her seat on a bus traveling from Virginia to Maryland. She was arrested and fined ten dollars for violating the Virginia statute. William H. Hastie and Thurgood Marshall argued on her behalf that the statute burdened interstate commerce. As amicus Stevens addressed two main points: (1) that the Virginia statute violated Article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution and as such was inherently burdensome on interstate commerce and (2) that the statute was inconsistent with the Articles 55-c and 56 of the United Nations Charter.15 In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court agreed that segregation on interstate transportation violated the Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution.16 This victory confirmed Judge Stevens' conviction that the best way to eliminate racial injustice was through the law.
In 1946, Stevens was elected to the New York State Assembly from the then predominantly white Thirteenth Assembly District in Washington Heights (New York County). He won the seat over three rivals. Assemblyman Stevens served until 1950 when he was elected to the Court of General Sessions, a position he held from 1951 to 1955.
In 1955, Governor W. Averell Harriman appointed him Justice of the New York State Supreme Court. He was elected for a 14-year term in November of that year, and reelected in 1969 with the endorsement of all four major parties. Harold Stevens was the first African-American to become successively a judge of the Court of General Sessions and a Justice of the State Supreme Court.
Effective January 1, 1958, Governor Harriman designated Judge Stevens Associate Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department. Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller later reappointed him associate justice in 1963 and 1968. Around that time, Justice Stevens said "The law is my life. I love it."17 He said that "[t]here is poetry and drama in the law . . . It never grows stale. Every case is a human story. A tragedy for some, a triumph for others."18 This sensitivity and compassion paired with his intelligence made Judge Stevens a well-respected and exceptional jurist among his contemporaries.
On January 1, 1969, Governor Rockefeller designated Harold Stevens the presiding justice of the Appellate Division, First Department, the first African-American to hold such a position. When reminded of this fact in an interview, Judge Stevens said "it seems to me that color is incidental. . . . I'm aware this appointment is breaking new ground. I recognize that fact, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. But color does not restrict or inhibit the performance of my legal duties."19 At that time, Judge Stevens was the highest ranking African-American in any state judicial system.
As Presiding Justice, Judge Stevens helped decide Penn Central Transportation Co. v. City of New York (50 AD2d 265 [1975]), which ordered the preservation of New York's Grand Central Terminal as a City landmark. He is remembered for "presid[ing] as a highly respected legal scholar who never failed to consider the human dimension of the law."20 Judge Stevens served as Presiding Justice from 1969 until 1974. He is credited with creating "sentencing panels" to review cases in effort to avoid sentencing disparities that often reflected differences in race and economic status.
In 1974, Governor Malcolm Wilson appointed Judge Stevens to the Court of Appeals for an interim term. He was the first African-American to sit on the Court in its 128-year history.
In his single year on the bench, Judge Stevens wrote one of the Court's most notable opinions in the area of administrative law, Matter of Pell v. Bd. of Educ. (34 NY2d 222 [1974]). The case set forth the standard of judicial review in CPLR article 78 proceedings and has been cited over 2,500 times in legal decisions, treatises, and journals. While on the Court, Judge Stevens was characterized as a "'swing' vote, often siding with a conservative majority." He said of himself: "I don't know exactly how to characterize my philosophy. . . . I'm not a total conservative. On the other hand, I'm not a total radical."21
Whatever his philosophy, Judge Stevens was known as "an exceptional jurist and a treasured friend" to those who shared the bench with him.22 Former Chief Sol Wachtler said, "Harold Stevens brought warmth and humor to this Court, and these are qualities that all of us who knew and respected him will always remember fondly. More importantly, however, Harold also possessed a deep understanding of the human condition, an understanding which found its way into his decisions," adding that "his intelligence and love for the law challenged us to be better Judges; his wisdom and understanding challenged us to be better human beings."23
At the time of Judge Stevens' interim appointment, full term Judges were elected to the Court of Appeals. Therefore, during his time on the bench, Judge Stevens was concerned with presiding over cases as well as running a campaign. He ran against two other candidates in the Democratic primaries — Appellate Division Justice Lawrence H. Cooke and attorney Jacob D. Fuchsberg. Having served 24 years as a judge, including five as Presiding Justice, Judge Stevens ran on the slogan "Keep an Able and Experienced Judge on the Court of Appeals."24 Judge Cooke was also a long time veteran of the court system, having served on four courts including the Appellate Division, Third Department.25
The Association of the Bar of the City of New York gave its highest rating to Judge Stevens, finding him "highly qualified and preferred."26 The City Bar Association also found Judge Cooke "highly qualified," but did not approve Fuchsberg in a critical commentary of the candidate.27 The Liberal, Conservative, and Republican parties all backed Judge Stevens, and the Liberal party endorsed Judge Cooke. Given these endorsements, Judges Stevens and Cooke were each assured spots on the November ballot. Fuchsberg gained his position on the ballot winning the Democratic primary, creating a five-way race for the two vacancies on the Court. Louis M. Greenblott, an Associate Justice of the Appellate Division, Third Department, and Henry S. Middendorf Jr., a Manhattan lawyer, were the other two candidates.
Despite appearing as a favorite, Judge Stevens lost the election to Judge Cooke and Jacob Fuchsberg. Judge Cooke received more votes than both Stevens and Fuchsberg, and was declared a winner of one of the two seats with only three-quarters of the election districts counted. Fuchsberg finished second, and Judge Stevens third. Judge Stevens conceded the loss "after results from 94 per cent of the state's polling places showed Mr. Fuchsberg ahead of him by 81,133 votes."28 Following the election, Judge Stevens was redesignated Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department.
His defeat at the polls fueled an already existing debate concerning whether Judges of the Court of Appeals should be appointed or elected. In 1977, along with other major reforms, the 1846 constitutional provision requiring that the Judges of the Court be elected was repealed. The Amendment provided for the Governor to appoint the Judges of the Court, with the advice and consent of the New York State Senate, from a list of names recommended by the Commission on Judicial Nomination.29
Justice Stevens retired in 1977 at age 69 and, on November 9, 1990, died in his home of a heart attack. He was 83. Upon his death, his papers were donated to The New York Public Library, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Judge Stevens lived across the street from the center and maintained close ties to his community.
Early in his judicial career, Judge Stevens received the Papal Award Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice for his social work involving interracial relations. His board memberships included: the Catholic Interracial Council of New York; Citizens Planning Council; Catholic Club; Catholic Youth Organization; Grand Street Boys Association; and the Board of Governors of the Guild of Catholic Lawyers. Judge Stevens was president of the Catholic Interracial Council of New York, and a committee member of the New York County Lawyers Association. He was a lifetime member of the NAACP and, in 1996, was enshrined in the South Carolina Black Hall of Fame.
Judge Stevens received many honorary degrees as doctor of laws, including one from Benedict College, South Carolina. At that commencement, he reminded graduates "of their 'responsibility to wipe out inequities,'"30 a responsibility he took very seriously and remained committed to his entire life. He said to the students that "[t]he American system, even with its imperfections, is the best system in the world and affords the best opportunity. . . . Its weaknesses are in the failures of application and the barriers of applications."31 These words are in keeping with the promise Judge Stevens made to himself in 1926 — to become a part of the legal system so that he could help eliminate the injustice of prejudice in a time of Jim Crow laws and beyond.
Judge Stevens was survived by his wife, Ella C. Myers Stevens, who died on November 3, 2003 at the age of 95. The couple had no children. He was also survived by one of his brothers, John Stevens of New York City, and several nieces and nephews.

Crew seeks better production from heart of lineup
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers' current run production problem is not nearly as dire as last season, when manager Ron Roenicke was without his three-, four- and five-hole hitters.
But it has a familiar feeling.View Full Game Coverage
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers' current run production problem is not nearly as dire as last season, when manager Ron Roenicke was without his three-, four- and five-hole hitters.
But it has a familiar feeling.View Full Game Coverage
With usual three-hole hitter Ryan Braun on the disabled list with a strained right oblique, and cleanup man Aramis Ramirez fighting one of the worst slumps of his career, the Brewers struggled to score while dropping three of four games in Cincinnati for their first road series loss of the season. The Brewers scored three, three, two and two runs in those four games, while batting .186 as a team.
The middle of the lineup has something to do with that.
"No doubt about it," Roenicke said. "With 'Brauny' out of there and 'Rami' not driving in runs like he was earlier -- every time we had a guy in scoring position, he was driving him in."
Ramirez entered Monday's game against Arizona with two hits -- both homers -- in his last 40 at-bats, including an 0-for-28 drought that was the longest of Ramirez's career. Along the way, he missed two games after being struck by a pitch on the left elbow in St. Louis.
"He was a little bit off before he got hit in the elbow," Roenicke said, "but once he got hit in the elbow, it took him a while to get it back. [On Sunday], he didn't swing well, but the day before he did swing it well."
Ramirez is not the only Brewers' player who came home scuffling. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy had one RBI on the seven-game road trip before getting Monday off. Left fielder Khris Davis went 5-for-26 (.192) on the trip. Leadoff hitter Carlos Gomez's on-base percentage on the trip was .273.
Roenicke and his coaches have discussed whether there are things they can do to spark the group. One option was dropping Gomez to the three-hole, but he remained batting first Monday. Second baseman Scooter Gennett hit third.
"There are always discussions about how we can do it a little bit better," Roenicke said. "I don't know if there's ever a perfect answer."

Retro Returning, Now For Canucks/
a Cathode Rays & Power Plays cross-post from April 26, 2007
I know this news is a couple months old, but since I just posted about the Caps, I figured it was relevant.
The Vancouver Canucks will apparently be donning new threads come the fall as well. And just like Washington, the Canucks are planning a return to their original '70s colors of blue, green and white. No word on whether they'll be keeping the orca logo, going back to the original logo, or designing a completely new one all together.
Either way, we find out on August 1.
I found the original post at Canucks Hockey Blog.
You can catch a glimpse of Johnny Canuck painted on the side of Roberto Luongo's mask on nights when the local team wears its vintage blue, green and white uniforms. And the question begs: "Is the artwork on Luongo's mask a hint of things to come?"
The modern day Canucks' marketing machine has instructed its large army of merchandising retailers to stand by for an announcement on Aug. 1.
"Right now we're ordering next year's inventory blindly," says the owner of a sporting goods outlet in North Vancouver. "All we've been told is that the colours of the uniforms will be blue, green and white, but we don't know what the crest is going to look like. The current killer whale [or orca] jersey, as we understand it, will be kept in reserve and occasionally be used as a 'classic' uniform."
So far, I've learned of six teams that have definite plans to change their logos. I have a source in retail that would probably rather not be named. (Look at me trying to be all cryptic.) Aside from Vancouver and Washington, the other four teams that I know of which will see major- or minor-scale uniform and logo changes are the Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks, Ottawa Senators, and thankfully, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
We'll follow along this summer and see what happens.

COLUMBIA - A state Ethics Commission hearing scheduled for Wednesday over a conflict of interest allegation against the Hardeeville election chief will not take place, because the official at the center of the controversy is expected to sign a consent order.
The terms of the consent order will be available after the commission chairperson signs it Wednesday, S.C. State Ethics Commission general counsel Cathy Hazelwood said Friday. A consent order acts as acknowledgement that the statute was violated, comparable to a plea bargain in a criminal court.
Scott Ready, at the time a City Council candidate, accused Hardeeville Municipal Election Commission chairperson Joyce Meeks of improperly disqualifying him from challenging the sitting councilman, Meeks' son-in-law. Without Ready's candidacy, there would have been no election, and the incumbent, Roy Powell, would have been re-elected by default.
The three-person election commission had initially barred Ready in March because of a mistake he had made when filling out his paperwork. Ready marked "elected" instead of "candidate" on the candidate filing form.
In April, a judge reinstated Ready's candidacy for Hardeeville City Council. Then in the May election, Ready defeated Powell.
In a recent interview, Hardeeville Mayor Bronco Bostick said he would not comment on the pending ethics proceedings, what fines may be imposed as a result, or what local government reforms - if any - should be considered, until after the state commission had acted this month. City Council appoints the members of the Hardeeville Municipal Election Commission.
A city leader recently approached Ready to ask him to drop his ethics complaint. But the new councilman said the matter was no longer in his control, and Hazelwood confirmed the case resided with the state commission. The agency is not a criminal court.
In May, the state Ethics Commission found probable cause to proceed with a hearing of Ready's complaint. Each violation could bring a $2,000 fine and public reprimand. There may also be an administrative fine for the expense of conducting the investigation.
Hazelwood has previously said it was not known which party would be responsible for any penalties - the taxpayers of the city or Meeks, herself.

Honda Shadow 750
This is a bike that pleases the eye, and pleases the senses. Sweep your gaze over the Honda Shadow's low, stretched-out chassis. Focus in on the superior fit and finish. Settle into the deeply dished seat and reach out to the wide handlebar. Then twist the throttle and enjoy the powerful music from the liquid-cooled V-twin engine with Honda's ectronic fuel injection and staggered-dual exhausts. That's the look of Honda quality, and the sound of Honda performance.

A Grey Loop
In fact it was only in March, but time has been a funny thing this past year, seemingly standing still and thundering past simultaneously.
Recently time and life have been falling back into a more familiar and comforting rhythm. I've decided to take full advantage of this by catching up on things I'd let slide...this dusty blog being one of them.
So, without further waffle here is how I knitted Poppy's Grey Loop...I wouldn't dare call it a pattern, It's just a bare bones 'how to'
I hope it suffices...
Yarn Used : Rowan RYC Extra fine Merino 3 balls (I had some leftovers)
Needles : 5mm - US 8 Circular (I used an 80cm)
Tension : I just liked the fabric and kept knitting :)
Cast on 210 sts, pm and join in the round. (Please double check for twists, I had to re-do this a couple of times whimper)
Work a few rounds in garter stitch (to do this in the round - knit 1 round to marker then purl 1 round to marker, and so on...)
I worked 4 rounds and it does flip...which isn't a problem for me on this piece like it would be on the hem of a cardigan.
However if you detest the flipping...I would suggest working more rounds and possibly using a smaller needle for this part only) I have no idea if this would eliminate the flip, but have a go and improve away...:)
Errata It is now glaringly obvious that I made a mistake of epic proportions on possibly the most simple 'pattern' ever written. That is quite a feat, and not one I'm proud of!
Sorry Knitters!
As I think I mentioned, I wrote this after the loop had been finished for a while, and looked at what I'd done, rather than referred to eloquent notes on scented paper (I'll post a pic of my 'notes' one day, for your amusement and general boggling)
Ok, if you follow the eyelet section as written above, you'll have a large hole at the marker. I'm guessing what happened was as I was knitting, my marker slipped under a YO and a 'deliberate' mistake was born.
Some people on Ravelry have just worked either row one or two exclusivley with fab results! If you prefer this to following the random methods of an idiot, It will look great :)...either way I hope you have a F/O you can love and snuggle in. xxx
Eyelet section
Rnd 1: Yo, K2tog to marker (remember to slip the marker)
Rnd 2: K2tog, Yo to marker
Repeat rounds 1 and 2 one more time, then work round 1 again.
Solid section
Work 5 rnds in stocking stitch (knit every round)
Purl 1 rnd
Work 5 rnds in st st.
Work eyelet section
Work solid section
Work eyelet section
Work garter stitch edging to match the beginning of the piece (remembering to change needle size if you did that initially)
Cast/Bind off loosely
Block and enjoy!
Here it is looped around 3 times.

what a lovely blog...so many cute projects...I'm so happy that I found you...greetings from germany...coletteReplyDelete
Thank you Colette! :)ReplyDelete
Really lovely ! - I love the drape of the yarn and colour :)ReplyDelete
Lovely cowl!! The combination of stitch, colour and yarn choice make it a classic piece. In fact, it could have been included in the Vogue Knitting mag, I think :)ReplyDelete
I love this! How long are the circular needles though? I have some 8g circulars, but they are only about 16". I am assuming this is much larger! I just want to make sure I am getting the right size.ReplyDelete
Great cowl! Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the pattern. I made Red Loop using cascade ultra pima. I only casted on 180 stitches and had just enough yarn. No rolly edge and it drapes beautifully.ReplyDelete
The pattern is so simple yet elegant. It would compliment if the color has some alter color in it like white and black.ReplyDelete
profile|grey scrubs
Lovely! I've had this in my ravelry queue for awhile now, and I think it's destined to be a Christmas gift for my mom. Thanks for sharing the pattern!ReplyDelete
I am so gonna make this project...for me (smile)! Thanks for sharing it.ReplyDelete
I LOVE it! :D I'm thinking about making one for my mum for mother's day...ReplyDelete
Absolutely love this! Can't wait to make it. Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyDelete
I love this cowl and I followed the ravelry link for errata. I am not sure I see the correction? I just knitted up the row two of the first eyelet pattern and am not sure what to do next...ReplyDeleteReplies
oops... up to row two, not up "the" row two!Delete
How can i change this to a scarf.. Its for summer.. So im using a lighter weightbReplyDelete
I know I'm really late to the party; but I'm making this right now, if you want, feel free to check it out on my blog: http://aeacreations.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/success/ReplyDelete
Hi, I am a little confused what to do for the eyelet section to avoid the hole near the marker. Can someone please clarify?ReplyDeleteReplies
what was the diameter of the finished project? i'm not sure why but i'm almost half way through and mine seems much smaller than the pictures and i'm using the same weight yarn and everything...ReplyDelete
This is so nice! I'm sure going to make it. Thanks very much.ReplyDelete
Just got through with my Loop. Love it. Used the exact yarn stated. Still need to block and am hoping this takes the curling out some. Next time may add a stockinette row or 2 after the Garter row and before the garter row on the finishing side. Maybe this will help. love the look and will be doing more of these for gifts.ReplyDelete
How many stitches do I cast on if I want a single wrap cowl? I want to make this for someone who can't wear scarves that hang down due to her work. Spring is coming and I like the lightness of this pattern. Thank youReplyDeleteReplies
I would use 16 in cir needles and quarter the pattern ensuring an even number of sts. I only consider myself an intermediate knitter though. So this suggestion may be way off. Good luck! Hopefully we'll hear from Helen soon :)Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the pattern, but now that you have discovered a mistake, may I suggest that you rewrite your directions in a succinct and correct method and make the ravelry link to the amended ones?ReplyDelete
i want to knit this ... agree with crzyknit ... thanks!!ReplyDelete
I can't believe how rude some people can be. She is giving you this pattern for free. How then can you turn around and criticize the way she writes her pattern. I certainly hope that you are succinct and correct in everything you do in life.ReplyDelete
What length circular needles should one use?ReplyDelete

A paper entitled Mobile exploration of geotagged photographs, authored by Mattias Rost, Henriette Cramer, and Lars Erik Holmquist, published in Personal Ubiquitous Computing is now available online through the following SpringerLink.
Columbus is a mobile application that lets users explore their surroundings through geotagged photographs, presented to them at the location they were taken. By moving around the physical world, the user unlocks photographs and gets to see and experience them in unison with their location. During two consecutive field trials, we investigated how the application was used and experienced and how photographs and locations are explored together. We found that previous experience with the surroundings people was exploring affected how they experienced the localized content. We report on the system's design and implementation, the trials as well as resulting insights that can be used by other developers of locative media applications.

by Janet Gilmore
On our first long car ride together, years ago, my new boyfriend, Hugh, was merrily driving along the Atlantic City Expressway at 70 miles an hour in a 65 mph zone, when we spotted a New Jersey State Police car parked on the side of the highway.
"That's it!" he said. "I can't take the guilt! I'm going to pull over there and turn myself in!"
"No! Don't!" I yelled in a panic, thinking, "What kind of nitwit pulls over and turns himself in for speeding?"
He didn't pull over. Then, "Just kidding," he said, as he kept rolling along at 70. "They allow you to do five miles over the speed limit."
Oh, no, stuck in a car with a new boyfriend's sense of humor.
"He's crazy," I thought. "How can I get out of this car safely? We're on a busy highway. Who can I call to come pick me up? Maybe my parents? We're near Brigantine; it's a lot to ask, even of one's parents. Maybe my last boyfriend might come get me, but I dumped him, so it might not be appropriate to ask. Besides, the cell phone hasn't been invented yet. I'll try to contact the police by mental telepathy.
I tried hard, but the police never showed up.
I was on my own, left to remember other guy-car-humor.
Sneezy, my worst boyfriend ever, was given to turning on the car heater on torrid summer days and driving around until one of us (me) caved.
"Sneezy (gasp! gasp!), I can't breathe! Turn the heat off!"
"You lose!" he gloated.
The automobile, that rolling terrarium, provides lots of opportunities for mischief. A girl is a captive audience at any speed over five miles an hour.
Getting used to someone else's humor is difficult. Much more than the smell of cologne that gives you a headache, toe-tapping impatience or the arrogance of someone who constantly corrects your grammar, the sense of humor is a good indicator of how well you might get along as a couple. And if it ain't there, it ain't there. The truth is in the laugh track.
"I really like this guy," I thought about Hugh. "Can I take years and years of car high jinks?"
I looked over at him and noticed the crinkles around his eyes. He was chuckling to himself.
As a married couple a few years later, we drove to Maine in my tiny Toyota Tercel and bought an excelsior-stuffed, leather rocking chair to bring home, sit in and feed our expected baby. We liked the idea of a chair in which other babies had been rocked. We didn't realize how big the chair was until we tried to figure out how to get it home to Philadelphia.
"We'll have to tie it to the roof," said Hugh. "Help me lift it."
Somehow we wrestled the monster up and onto my car, where it threatened to crush both of us. Now, two grown-ups trying to work together to figure out the best way to tie a chair to a car strains every element of human compatibility.
"Don't you have things to pack?" Hugh asked.
Taking the hint and wanting a happy marriage, I left him to his own devices. He lashed the chair to the roof. I checked to make sure we had not forgotten anything, and got into the car.
Hugh gestured for me to roll down the window. He handed me the end of a rope.
"Hold this," he said. "If you let go, the chair might fall off the roof, so hold on tight."
I did. I am not the kind of person who wants to kill other people with falling chairs. Some people might be. I am not. I clutched the rope tightly for the entire 12-hour drive.
My arm got tired. I had pins and needles in my hand. My shoulder ached, but the chair stayed where it was.
I admit, I changed hands once in a while, holding cross-handed. I dozed off twice, but still woke up still clutching that rope.
When we finally arrived home, I took a close look at the chair on the roof. Hugh had tied it in such a way that not even the big bad wolf himself could have dislodged it. The car would flip over, and we would be stuck upside-down on top of the chair before it ever came untied. In other words, it was completely unnecessary for me to hold that rope for half a day and get rope burn but for Hugh's amusement.
"You made me hold that stupid rope for 12 hours?" I queried in a less-than-thrilled tone of voice.
I looked at him. He looked at me. Dead silence. Then I saw the twinkle in his eyes. I started to laugh. Ripples of laughter, rolls of laughter, waves that buckled my knees and forced me to sit down right in the driveway. Pretty funny, and the joke was on me. I wished I had thought of it first.
"This guy is really good," I thought. "I could learn a lot from him. I like this marriage. I think I'll stick around long enough to get even."

Cam Newton Told Not to Get Any Tattoos By Carolina Panthers' Owner
Carolina Panther rookie QB Cam Newton is somewhat unusual among modern football players in that he doesn't have a single tattoo.
If Panther owner Jerry Richardson has his say, it's going to stay that way.
In a recent interview with Charlie Rose, Richardson explained that when Newton told him he had no tats, he informed his number one draft pick that he doesn't want him to get any while he's a Panther. He also told the 22-year old to avoid body piercing, and keep his clean-cut hairstyle.
Richardson probably doesn't have the authority to actually enforce his grooming tips, but keeping the guy who just gave you a four-year, $22 million contract happy is considered good form.

Tomeka Scales
In selecting a career path, Tomeka Scales '07 is following the adage: "Do what you love." A psychology major with a minor in business management, a proven campus leader, and a contemporary music fan who sings in the College's Gospel Choir, Tomeka has her sights set on the business end of the music industry. Far-fetched, you say? Not given her stellar academic record, her participation in Harvard's Summer Venture in Management Program and other leadership programs, her internship experience with Black Entertainment Television, and her incredible drive.
"Washington College gave me the opportunity to expand my leadership training and to succeed on so many levels," Tomeka says. Among the academically elite membership of the Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows and one of two Middendorf Scholars recognized this year, Tomeka credits her professors with encouraging her to excel. "Not only are the teachers here dedicated to their own work, but they are committed to the success of their students. I have to thank every single teacher that has played an active role in helping me to mature as an individual. I certainly benefited from my classes in leadership, marketing, speech, and Dr. Littlefield's psychological testing which actually helped me approach the GREs. The emphasis on hands-on learning makes all the difference. I also have to thank Dr. Siemen and the Campus Christian Fellowship for providing a support system by which to foster my spiritual growth."
Tomeka, whose senior project explores the music industry, is pursuing a master's degree in Music Business at NYU while interning with Island Def Jam Music Group. A fan of jazz, R&B and gospel music, Tomeka is particularly interested in music publishing and in artist and repertoire management.

Officials in the hottest spot southwest of Havana, also known as Sydney, Australia, are trying to keep car-revving hoons from hanging out in a city parking lot by piping in Barry Manilow's greatest hits. Council members hope such expressions of Manilowness will be unbearable for those hooney kids, who've been intimidating local residents with their screeching tires and ungodly cat backs. This is how it starts. Next thing you know, the Carpenters' "Close to You" shows up on the soundtrack of GT5. We don't need no thought control! [Thanks to Dave for the tip.]

RT006 - Stovax Peony Reproduction Fireplace Tile 4073
The Fireplace Tile
The Victorian and Edwardian tile was very much a feature of the fire within the room and it was often vivid in colour with stunning designs, This could be as simple as a coloured embossed tile to a run of tiles depicting many different scenes or images. From floral to symmetry to simply unusual. Once the fire was lit these tiles would glow and the picture seen was so enticing.
When the art nouveau period arrived this style reached its way to all the accessories of a stylish home which very much incuded the tiles of the fire. They were awash with elegant curves, shapes and colours and would finish off that wonderful period image.
REPRODUCTION HANDMADE QUALITY TILE - number 4073
Faithfully reproduced from victorian originals, stovax tiles are ideal for use in both antique and cast iron tiles fireplaces, set against a rich cream glaze, the decoration uses up to 18 seperate colours in each design to make the tiles indistinguishable from hand coloured originals.
This is priced as a single tile.

My name is Tracy Myers. I'm a business owner, an entrepreneur, a speaker and a best-selling author. As I speak to different groups of people about different things, I need a business card that not only stands out from the crowd but one that also can have have different messages for the different ventures that I am a part of. It doesn't necessarily have to be a different or unique shape but it could be. It probably will have to be larger than an average size business card. I will also want to use the front and the back of the card.
Professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs.
I have attached a screen shot of my website in progress to give you an idea of the challenges we must overcome with this project. Here is a video with an example of a card I like a lot - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKKk-2PlSDA (Watch for card example at 1:01 mark). NOTE: I do not want to "copy" this card. I am simply showing an example of what I mean by "outside the box"

(visited by Kourtney Nieboer)
26-Sep-2001 -- On a cloudy cool (58F at noon) September day-off I gathered my dog, Niles, and set off from my home in South Bend, IN to find 42N86W. In about an hour we were less than a quarter of a mile away. I spoke with the landowner's daughter who gave me permission to search the area and we set off through the pines. Niles was pretty excited because of lots of white-tail deer tracks. After about five minutes of getting the GPS to settle down we found the point of confluence and as the pictures show Niles is sitting at exactly 42N86W! Mission accomplished.

my wife and i love this work. it is made to order for us. we are in sw tex, there is an oil/gas boom here lots of work. the border patrol is thick here the illegals are rare . yes there are risks here but there are riskes in your locked gate community too. my wife and i have a realy great gate. they tell us this gate will be here for years, light trafic 30/40 per day typical. but today only 8. we have no dept so we put 4k per month in savings, try that work camping. we are doing 14 months straight thu. in june 2012 we will pay cach for a place back home in montana. but we need to find a couple to work our gate this jan 2012. it would be a great way to try out gate keeping. if you like it there is lots of work here. it is just gate keeping we are not security or guards, we log them in we log them out we don't know who they are or why there here, we have no authority at all. if your interested or have ? [email protected]
Does anyone have any input on these jobs? We have researched and know we'll probably be in the middle of nowhere and it'll probably be dusty. We also know we have to man the gate 24-7. We want to do it for the fall/winter this year. Knowing who was good to work for and who wasn't would be helpful. Also any personal experiences are welcome.We have made the move to Southeast Texas and are working for Gate Guard Services. We are very satisfied with their support, people and equipment. THEY NEED PEOPLE so e-mail me if you are interested at [email protected]
I just spoke with several of the gate guard companies and many pay as employee and have to pay both people. Unfortunately this is a problem for us since I am on Disability and cannot earn any money. They say all the companies are doing this but Gate Guard Services is still paying 1099. Just wanted to update everyone on the latest.
So far as I can determine, this is pretty much limited to TX or LA

text: Samuel Lyndon Gladden, Shelley's Textual Seductions: Plotting Utopia in the Erotic and Political Works Submitted by rc-admin on Sat, 12/20/2003 - 06:11 Samuel Lyndon Gladden, Shelley's Textual Seductions: Plotting Utopia in the Erotic and Political Works. Studies in Major Literary Authors Series. New York: Routledge, 2002. xviii + 351pp. $90.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-415-93702-7). Reviewed by John Kandl Walsh University Samuel Lyndon Gladden's Shelley's Textual Seductions itself presents a seductively engaging study of the political implications of Shelley's major "erotic" works, including Oedipus Tyrannus, The Cenci, Julian and Maddalo, Epipsychidion, Laon and Cythna, and Prometheus Unbound. Throughout the book, Gladden demonstrates how Shelley's "processes of textual seduction model political strategies for displacing larger oppressive social structures" (xvi ). "Time and again," Gladden states, "Shelley stages the erotic as a device for renegotiating power and privilege, so that every context in which the erotic figures must be understood as a resolutely political one" (xvii). Acknowledging that the erotic has traditionally been associated with the apolitical and private, Gladden draws upon a "range of interpretive strategies" (xv) as well as an impressive range of critical authorities, to reveal the ways in which, for Shelley, the physical (or public, exterior world) and the psychological (or private, interior world) "dissolve into a radical contingency" (xvi). Shelley's dissolution of boundaries between the private and the public, which Gladden playfully and appropriately terms "ooziness," expresses at once the most definitive characteristic of the erotic while exploiting its subversive potential for exposing, and offering alternatives to, oppressive social relations. Gladden contends that Shelley, perhaps to avoid charges of treason, transposed "the language of radical politics into a discourse of eroticism," developing "a parallel language for the production of anti-hegemonic texts [which enabled him] to speak about political engagements even amidst seemingly apolitical retreats to pleasure, love, and aesthetics" (18).

Oak Creek bottle bomb suspect was focus of Craig police investigation before Friday car chase
March 23, 2013
Craig — An Oak Creek man is in custody at Moffat County Jail after leading multiple law enforcement agencies on a more than hourlong car chase Friday.
Joshua Benjamin Flaharty, 25, was the subject of a Craig Police Department investigation and was under surveillance by officers because of two failure to appear warrants issued in Routt County related to homemade bottle bomb incidents in Oak Creek in November.
At about 5:30 p.m. Friday officers positively identified Flaharty leaving one of several Craig residences under surveillance. After entering a silver Jeep, officers attempted to pull over Flaharty, but he refused to stop, according to a news release.
Officers pursued Flaharty until he exited Craig city limits, traveling east on U.S. Highway 40 toward Hayden. The chase was picked up by Moffat County Sheriff's Office deputies and Colorado State Patrol troopers, according to the release.
Troopers deployed "stop sticks" west of Hayden that reportedly flattened the front and rear passenger side tires but failed to disable the vehicle. Officers then forced Flaharty's Jeep off the highway after it had traveled through Hayden, and he had to be forcibly removed from the Jeep after the crash, according to the release.
After the pursuit, Flaharty was returned to Craig and booked into Moffat County Jail on the two Routt County warrants and numerous traffic violations, including vehicular eluding and reckless endangerment.
Recommended Stories For You
Flaharty is suspected of setting off homemade bottle bombs in Oak Creek in November. He was arrested in December in Routt County on suspicion of possession of an incendiary device, a Class 4 felony, and reckless endangerment, a Class 3 misdemeanor.

Mounting a Shakespearean play can challenge even professional companies, and colleges revive them chiefly as educational projects. Rarely does a community theater tackle the classical — and ancient — verbiage from the 16th-century works of the Bard of Avon.
The Westminster Community Theater, which mounted an exemplary production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" back in 1981, is staging its second Shakespeare with the slightly altered title of "Much Ado About Nothin'." It's set in 1930s Chicago with a cast that would fit right in with an episode of "The Untouchables."
Creativity is present in abundance in director S.H. Wiggs Jr.'s reimagining of the classic comedy. The characters dress in mobster fashion and carry sidearms as they relate the romantic travails of two couples controlled by the people around them.
While the Westminster production rates high marks for concept, it lags somewhat in pace and presentation. Shakespeare is a mouthful for most actors, and the players of "Much Ado" often find their best efforts thwarted in this regard.
There are some fine performances — chiefly those of Beatrice (Calista Moseley) and Benedick (Rick Reischman), who transition smoothly from exchanging sarcastic remarks to becoming reluctant lovers. They scratch verbal sparks on one another beautifully.
Less accomplished are their pals Claudio (Nick Alspaugh) and Hero (Tiffani Hockings), whose budding romance is thwarted by villainous forces. Alspaugh finds his dialogue elusive, often incomprehensible in its delivery, while Hockings overdoes her maidenly softness to the point of nearly fading out of the picture.
The strongest of the cast is Bill Paxon as the prince Don Pedro, both good-hearted and mighty. His counterpart and brother, Don John (Steve Saatjian), is the prototype of a Mafia enforcer with nefarious goals.
Tim Heaton blusters his way through the role of the bride's father, Leonato, while Jimmy Sapelo egregiously overplays the perpetually inebriated Borachio. Noelle LeBlanc heats up the stage as the comely courtesan Constance, Julie Ray is fine as Hockings' servant Margaret, and Jean Ly adds some sultry sass to the role of their buddy Ursula.
In WCT's "Midsummer" of three decades ago, a young Laurie Sontag stole large chunks of the show as Puck. Now, billed as Laurie Robbins, she is equally memorable as another male character, the constable Dogberry, who finds a wonderfully goofy degree of logic in Shakespeare's rambling speech patterns for the character, elevating the production as a whole.
Director Wiggs — who also designed the set, lighting and sound effects (including the "Dragnet" theme inserted into an arrest sequence) — has come up with some commendable originality in presentation. These qualities tend to offset some cast members' tendency to wander aimlessly about the stage and play everything out front (where, indeed, most of the audience is situated).
There is, on balance, enough effort and originality in "Much Ado About Nothin' " to counteract its less-effective aspects, not to mention a rare Shakespearean turn at a venue such as the Westminster Community Theater.

Well, y'all, I did it! I installed a solar-powered rain barrel pump, my second wish on my wish list. It was surprisingly simple. Just plug in the battery, cut the hose to the proper length, connect a few wires, drop the hose and pump into the barrel, position the panel. Within two minutes I was pressing a button to see what would happen and I squirted myself with 13 psi of stinky rain barrel water. I laughed out loud with happy happy joy joy! What a wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day, don't you think?
I have the solar panel anchored in the ground in a spot I think will get about 8 hours of sun in the morning through mid-afternoon, but I can move it if it doesn't work. But here's how it's working now.
Now I start saving for beekeeping equipment. In the meantime, if you live near me, cover up your seedlings, because it's supposed to get down in the thirties in the next few nights!

Beu Health Center Advising Campus Community Members Traveling to Middle East, Europe to be Aware of MERS-CoV
July 1, 2013
MACOMB, IL -- As recent news stories have reported, cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, commonly referred to as MERS-CoV, are on the rise (see www.who.int/csr/don/archive/disease/coronavirus_infections/en/index.html).
Western Illinois University Beu Health Center Director Mary Margaret Harris advises individuals traveling to the affected regions of the world should be aware of this emerging pathogen. According to information about MERS-CoV from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): "Investigations are being done to figure out the source of MERS-CoV and how it spreads."
As of June 26, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported, since September 2012, there have been 77 laboratory-confirmed cases of human infection with MERS-CoV. In the June 26 report, WHO stated it has received reports of laboratory-confirmed cases originating in the following Middle Eastern countries: Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to WHO, France, Germany, Italy, Tunisia and the United Kingdom also reported laboratory-confirmed cases; with those cases, the affected individuals were either transferred there for care or returned from the Middle East and subsequently became ill. WHO adds that in France, Italy, Tunisia and the United Kingdom, "there has been limited local transmission among patients who had not been to the Middle East but had been in close contact with the laboratory-confirmed or probable cases."
"I think it's important to remember the number of cases so far has been few; however, MERS-CoV has a high mortality rate," Harris noted. "Although there are no cases to date in the U.S., we recognize we are part of a global community, and it's important to stay informed."
Harris added the CDC provides an informative overview website (see www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/overview.html), which includes some general question-and-answer information about MERS-CoV. Some of those points are listed below.
Q: Is CDC concerned?
A: Yes, CDC is concerned about MERS-CoV. The virus has caused severe illness in most infected people, and about half of them have died. Also, the virus spreads from person to person and has spread between countries. CDC recognizes the potential for the virus to spread further and cause more cases and clusters globally, including in the United States.
Q: Can I still travel to countries in the Arabian Peninsula or neighboring countries where MERS cases have occurred?
A: Yes. WHO and CDC have not issued travel health warnings for any country related to MERS.
For more information, see CDC's travel notice, "A Novel Coronavirus Called 'MERS-CoV' in the Arabian Peninsula." (see wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/watch/coronavirus-saudi-arabia-qatar)
Q: What if I recently traveled to countries in the Arabian Peninsula or neighboring countries and got sick?
A: If you develop a fever and symptoms of lower respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath, within 14 days after traveling from countries in the Arabian Peninsula or neighboring countries, you should see your healthcare provider and mention your recent travel.
Q: How can I help protect myself?
A: CDC advises that people follow these tips to help prevent respiratory illnesses:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact, such as kissing, or sharing cups or eating utensils, with sick people.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs.
For the most up-to-date information, see the WHO's Global Alert and Response MERS-CoV website at www.who.int/csr/don/archive/disease/coronavirus_infections/en/index.html.
