Free Press
For those of us who still can't get enough of the 2008 Presidential elections, who hunt through books like Game Change like truffle pigs in Provence, Rebecca Traister's Big Girls Don't Cry is wonderful foraging ground. But for women it is much, much more than another campaign book.
It is a testament to Traister's book that this formerly mystified over-50 female Obama supporter now finally understands what the hell all the crying was about. In our delirious march to the drumbeat of righting a different wrong, we didn't see that an entire movement of awakened and extremely sensitized women were almost lost forever to McCain/Palin. Mostly this book is for and about them—the ones apparently still reeling from the stunted ride.
These women were still roiling that Hillary Clinton had been hounded out of the primary, when no other Democratic candidate had been pushed by so many before the convention-- by commentators, former friends, party stalwarts, angry men all—just as she was getting going and still getting votes, and for getting passed over as vice president.
Many women personalized her campaign, as though an insult to Hillary were a personal insult. Their rallying cry was, "I will not live to see a woman president." Traister says, "You get the candidates you get." I always felt there could be now and would be other female candidates in a way that Hillaryites didn't, and didn't share their 'now or never' sense of the campaign. But there is no question that Hillary being that candidate brought out the worst in men. It elicited wildly sexist comments from male audiences ("Iron My Shirt!") and commentators ("I am so glad you're not my wife!" "Shrillery!") and divided office workers in liberal workplaces into other-hating hostilely bemused camps.
The personal is the political for so much of the book: Hillary is most appreciated by the author in the personal; when she cries, struggles, fights, refuses to give in, endures, and suffers through a "shit-storm." The verbs of empathy often sound like the job description for a Biblical character, more than a President. Traister writes, "I noticed that her popularity rose when she was cuckolded, but was not particularly bothered by it, I was appalled by her Iraq vote, but not surprised by her unwillingness to play lady dove..." I was troubled by both, and it is, I think the essence of our difference in our reactions to Hillary—as though as feminists, we should just forgo a sincere position on foreign policy to "bad faith," something we have to play-act.
Perhaps a more accommodating woman, one with a less polarizing past or personality would have garnered less criticism from the wolf pack, as Traister calls the male press. A Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan? Have you heard her speak? I can't imagine anyone calling her shrill; I would love to speculate on whether Russert, Olbermann, and Matthews would have given her the same treatment.
In the end, Traister points out, the Democratic party did so little to redress the dramatic ways in which sexist taunts by the media became commonplace that a huge faction of America's progressive women almost deserted the Democratic party they felt deserted them. This fact is profoundly important, and is made convincingly, in this book.
There are big ideas raised freshly in the book, some reviewed exhaustively, others merely touched on, which new thinkers can begin to unpack. I was particularly compelled by the question of whether feminists can have different ideologies. This deep issue was raised when the McCain team cynically picked Sarah Palin in an effort to sweep up all the disaffected women who had been seemingly abandoned by Obama's not only winning, but not picking Hillary for VP. This two-fer left a lot of aggrieved women looking for someone to follow, no matter how hard Hillary tried to bring them into the Obama fold after the convention. Eventually, the issue of reproductive choice and other social issues brought most of them back to the party, but not at first.
There are Hillary diehards that are still angry today, two years later, and you still feel this anger in this book. They are no longer in danger of becoming Republicans, only disaffected Democrats, which the party and Obama can ill afford. It remains to be seen how much of a lesson the party has learned.
One of the reasons Hillary is a Rorschach test, is that we all write our own Hillarys based on our own projections. Must we be more ruthless to succeed? Less? Should we be more lovable? Less divisive? Must we be more aggressive to succeed in a man's world?
Doesn't Hillary have to be this tough? Could a woman that could have won Iowa be loved? Could she have won if she had started with the thrilling, non-ambivalent performances she ended with, in West Virginia, everything post Indiana?
Can you win and not give up your soul? These are all the things Traister and her friends and her mother talked about, she and I talked about, things I talked to my mother and friends about—it's part of the truly charming and occasionally girlish idiosyncrasy of this book, particularly if you're a girl.
Traister tells us that Hillary caught fire at the end of the road when she had nothing to lose. This is when she fired her advisors, stopped listening to everyone, and found her voice. This is when America liked her energy, the commentators gave her her due, when she wasn't on the attack but on the march.
Traister knows this, and wonders whether this Hillary could have won with this approach from the beginning. Her most trusted advisors think so. But it is in contrast to some of Traister's fears? I think so. Voice is something Obama had from the beginning and the electorate was hungering for. If so, would much of this thesis be unnecessary? Maybe.
But even if this is true, the issues raised by Traister remain vitally important. The Hillary archetype with its unabashed ambition and smart-scary persona incited revealing and terrified reactions from the male press and electorate. This had to be purged and studied before any woman could run again.
The nature of that experience alone created 18 million tiny cracks in the glass ceiling. The overall upshot of the election wasn't all bad for women, after all—"Political breakthroughs begat cultural breakthroughs begat comedy breakthroughs begat political breakthroughs," Traister writes.
New women's voices were needed to explain some of these weird new female issues, and women were suddenly exploding on the air. It was the birth of Rachel Maddow. It was the best year ever as an anchor for the then-declining Katie Couric, who took down Sarah Palin with unerring directness. It was the dawn of the feminist blogosphere, and the rise to national prominence of many new female media voices, like Ana Marie Cox, and sharp black female voices, notably Melissa Harris-Lacewell to hash out the black/feminist identity mess.
And this is how the 2008 election changed the world, and allowed for Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and the feminist press, and the feminist blogosphere, and more female presence on TV. And an assurance hopefully, that no woman, should she be Jennifer Granholm or Debbie Wassermann Shultz or Claire McCaskill or some female Barack Obama we have not yet heard of, will ever be treated like this again.

SMU Falls Short In Cincinnati
{fshare id=4505}
CINCINNATI (AP) — Brendon Kay threw for a pair of touchdowns, and Cincinnati deprived the American Athletic Conference's top quarterback of another comeback on Saturday, holding on for a 28-25 victory over SMU.
Cincinnati (7-2, 4-1) got the lead behind Kay's accurate passing and a 17-play, 96-yard touchdown drive that took up most of the third quarter and made it 28-10.
SMU (3-5, 2-2) is known for comebacks behind quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who leads the nation in total yards. He had a pair of short touchdown passes to Darius Joseph, the last with 3:27 to go as the Mustangs got within 28-25.
Anthony McClung recovered the onside kick despite a hit to the head that drew a 15-yard penalty. Cincinnati ran out the clock with the help of a delay-of-game penalty on SMU, getting its fourth straight win.
Kay has been bothered by a sore passing shoulder since summer camp. He had a few extra days off following the Bearcats' last game and had a lot of zip on his sideline passes. He finished 27 of 32 for 299 yards with two touchdown and two interceptions.
Gilbert was 38 of 47 for 403 yards without an interception. Joseph had 12 catches for 103 yards, but SMU's offense could only stand on the sideline and watch as the final seconds ran out.
Cincinnati came into the game ranked fourth nationally on defense, allowing only 280 yards per game while holding down the conference's worst offenses. The Bearcats hadn't faced anything like
SMU's fast-pace, spread offense and Gilbert, who was coming off his best game.
The senior rallied the Mustangs from a 21-point deficit to a 59-49 win over Temple, setting school records for total yards (635) and yards passing (538).
They got a good idea of what it was going to be like to stop Gilbert on the opening drive. He completed all seven of his passes for 51 yards and ran three yards for a touchdown on the 13th play. On one play, Cincinnati got called for 12 players on the field while trying to substitute.
Gilbert completed his first 12 passes for 70 yards, but Cincinnati toughened when the Mustangs got in scoring range. Chase Hover missed a 48-yard field goal try and was good from 24 yards for a 10-0 lead. He also missed from 34 yards in the closing seconds of the half.
Those misses would be costly.
Kay had a tough time at the outset, getting sacked twice and throwing an interception. He got into a rhythm on Cincinnati's first drive of the second quarter, completing all five of his passes for 55 yards in a touchdown drive. His 17-yard throw to Chris Moore cut it to 10-7.
Kay completed his next pass as well, a 62-yard touchdown to Mekale McKay for a 14-10 lead. The Bearcats then took control in the third quarter and held on.
Kay completed all seven of his passes for 81 yards in a touchdown drive that opened the second half, culminating in Jordan Luallen's 2-yard run. The Bearcats then went on their 96-yard touchdown drive that lasted 8 minutes, 12 seconds, running the ball on 15 of the 17 plays in the drive, with Tion Green carrying the final seven yards.
It turned out to be too much for Gilbert to overcome.
Freshman JaBryce Taylor, the Mustangs' top kick returner, was injured on a kickoff return in the second quarter. He remained face-down on the field but moved his arms and legs. The medical staff called for a back support, strapped him to a stretcher and took him to an ambulance.
The Mustangs return home for their next contest, a Nov. 16 matchup against Connecticut. Tipoff is set for 2:00 p.m. CT. Tickets can be purchased online at smumustangs.com/tickets.

Google is shutting down Picnik, the popular online photo editing service that it acquired nearly two years ago. The closure comes as part of a larger strategy by the search giant to focus on core products.
In a blog post, Google also said that it is merging, open-sourcing or phasing out several other products. Those on the list include the data management platform Needlebase; Web analytics service Urchin Software; the Social Graph API; Google Sky Map; and Google Message Continuity.
"Resolutions can be hard, and changing products that people love is hard too," said Dave Girouard, vice president of product management, in the post. "But we're excited to focus on creating a beautifully simple, intuitive user experience across Google—an experience that will change the lives of millions of people."
During Google's earnings call Thursday, CEO Larry Page said that the company was doubling down on Android, YouTube, Gmail, Google + and other products central to its business.
"There's so many opportunities for Google today, but to make a real impact in the world we need to make hard choices about where to focus our efforts," said Page. Later in the call, he added that Google was concentrating efforts on products "that we really care about and that really matter to the world."
With today's announcement, Picnik is now slated to be shut down on April 19th. The Web-based service, which was free to use and included a $25 annual premium service, allowed users to crop, resize, touch-up and add special effects to photos.
"We're retiring the service on April 19, 2012 so the Picnik team can continue creating photo-editing magic across Google products," Google wrote. "You can download a zip file of your creations through Picnik Takeout or copy them to Google+. As of now, the premium service is free to everyone. Premium members will receive a full refund in the coming weeks." More on the closure in the Picnik blog post, which notes that the team will now get to focus on "even awesomer things."
Picnik was founded in Seattle in 2005 by Mike Harrington, Darrin Massena and Jonathan Sposato. [Editor's note: Sposato is an investor in GeekWire.]
Picnik quickly grew into one of the biggest photo editing sites on the Web despite competition from the likes of photo-editing giant Adobe. At the time of the acquisition, Picnik was profitable and attracting about 17 million monthly visitors.
"Google processes petabytes of data every day, and with their worldwide infrastructure and world-class team, it is truly the best home we could have found," the Picnik team wrote in a blog post announcing the acquisition. "Under the Google roof we'll reach more people than ever before, impacting more lives and making more photos more awesome."
Harrington and Massena left Google last year, and Sposato continues to work out of the company's Seattle office.
During a talk at the Seattle 2.0 Awards two months after the acquisition, Sposato explained why the company met with success despite competition from big players and a market that he said didn't really need another photo editing service.
"Picnik was successful because the product was really, really well engineered and well built," said Sposato at the time, adding that there was also lot of luck involved in the company's success.
We've reached out to Sposato and Google, and we'll update the post when we hear more.
UPDATE: A Google spokeswoman referred us to the Google and Picnik blog posts, and Sposato declined to comment.

Unlike in 2006, when Sweden and Finland challenged for the tournament's top spots, Canada and USA dominated throughout their round robin and semi final matches.
The 2010 event began in record fashion. Defending champion Canada set a new Olympic standard by scoring 18 goals against Slovakia. By the time their gold-medal showdown took place, Canada and USA had outscored their opponents 46-2 and 40-2 respectively.
The Americans were led by veteran forward Jenny Potter who posted team highs in goals (6) and points (11) while 23 year-old Meghan Agosta emerged as Canada's new scoring sensation, finishing the tournament with 9 goals and 15 points.
Perhaps the most surprising story of the women's tournament came not from the Canadian or American teams however, but from the Swiss team when forward Stefanie Marty matched Agosta's record total of 9 goals in a single tournament.
The final proved to be a classic. In a rematch of the 2002 gold medal game, Canada again prevailed and earned their third straight Olympic championship in a tightly contested 2-0 victory. The two stars of the game were rookie netminder Shannon Szabados who earned the shutout and 18 year-old Marie-Philip Poulin who scored both of Canada's goals despite being the team's youngest player.
The tournament all-star team was made up of Szabados in net, American defencemen Angela Ruggiero and Molly Engstrom and forwards Agosta, Poulin and Potter, with Agosta claiming the MVP honour.

Some of the world's most-desired magical artefacts are weapons that have been enchanted or are otherwise able to kill beings that a conventional weapon of the same type cannot. Here is a list of some unique weapons that may be encountered.
- Ace of Winchesters: This Winchester lever-action rifle was made by a mystic who saw service with the Texas Rangers during the days of the Wild West. He saw that the idea of "Manifest Destiny" and the genocide that it brought to the prairie had spawned... things that could not be fought with mortal weapons, not with the Indian's tomahawk nor with the white man's revolver. The mystic sold his soul for the expertise and means to forge a gun from halosteel and Hades-gems, bound with ivory of saints, that could blast the life out of fiends. It was last seen in possession of Tommy "Hitman" Monaghan of Gotham City, but since he's been dead for more than a decade, no one knows where the Ace went. Anyone who finds the Ace - and its enchanted bandolier - would certainly be in possession of a deadly weapon indeed.
- Justice is the name that some people have taken to calling the sword that's currently wielded by the Griffin of London. It is forged out of pure halosteel, allowing it to strike spirits and other intangible beings like they were solid. It also possesses a mono-molecular edge, capable of cutting through tank armour... or superhuman flesh. The grip and balance seem to be absolutely perfect for the Griffin, as he has been proven able to inflict mortal wounds where an ordinary swordsman would barely scratch their target.
- Moonslayer & Sunslayer: These original model Colt Peacemakers were enchanted in the 19th century. Moonslayer is designed to fire silver bullets, and Sunslayer is designed to fire wooden bullets that explode into flames upon impact. Both revolvers have had both an Affects Insubstantial (Full Effect) and an "Infinite Ammo" enchantment placed on them.
- Spellblade: This sword currently belongs to the Red Mage of the Golders Green Guardians. He personally enchanted it with the ability to deal elemental damage and to strike more telling blows than before.
- Three-Flames Katana: Lord Tegamusha created this katana at the start of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, forging it in fires fed by the bodies of 300 Chinese prisoners and tempered in their blood. The blade gained infamy in its use against soldiers and innocents alike until Tegamusha himself was slain by a sniper's bullet in 1895. The current wielder is Kimiko Ranaga, the current Crimson Katana, who is trying to keep her father from possessing her. Her father, the second Crimson Katana, enchanted the sword to store his spirit, ready to possess his daughter if she uses the blade to draw blood or if she suffers a moment of mental weakness (as in badly failing a Will check).

I've always been a fan of bold brows; they frame the face and exude absolute glamour. Cara Delevingne, it would appear, is of the same opinion.
Her thick, oversized brows have captured the world's attention, and are becoming something of an entity unto themselves. Indeed, those thick, angular lines are shaping the modern face of beauty.
Big brows have been coming back into style for a while now, but Cara's arrival on the scene has cemented their status as a beauty-must. Why they ever went out of fashion is beyond me; strong, well-groomed eyebrows give a powerful edge to any face. Sultry yet slightly stern, they compliment a smile as well as they do a withering glance.
Cara recently Tweeted vintage photos of her 101 year old grandma (also a model in her youth) sporting a set of striking eyebrows not dissimilar to her granddaughter's. These snaps prove that bushy brows have been in vogue before, but this hasn't always been the case…
Eyebrows have taken on a variety of forms over the past century, evolving dramatically across the decades. Just have a look!
Silent film star, Clara Bow, who epitomised the flapper era, favoured thin, straight eyebrows which were very fashionable during this decade. This style is all a bit too pantomime-esque and sad-looking for my liking. Moving on!
As can be seen in this photo of Marlene Dietrich, eyebrows were still thin at this point but far more rounded. Women often gave their eyebrows a 'shiny' finish by applying petroleum jelly, brillantine or olive oil.
Enter the Golden Era. Eyebrows became thicker, but were tweezed to form high, striking arches. They were also accentuated with dark brown pencil. Take heed from Lauren Bacall:
By now, brows were thick, well-defined, and more angular than ever before. Generally, the inner corners were thicker, and either rounded or squared, and the outer corners were groomed into fine points. Think Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Jane Russell (pictured).
The swinging era was all about feline brows, as can be seen in this photo of model and actress Jean Shrimpton. By this decade, women were regularly filling in or accentuating their eyebrows with pencil – some even shaved them off only to draw them back on again!
By this period it was high time for a softer, lighter, more natural look – one to match the hippie vibes and flower power. Charlie's Angels gal and ultimate 70s icon, Farrah Fawcett, aced this look (admittedly the hair helped).
Thick, dark, and with upward strokes; eyebrows were at their most powerful during this decade. A style which was favoured by the likes of Brooke Shields and Madonna.
Groomed to the max (think Jennifer Aniston during early episodes of FRIENDS) and at times severely over-plucked (think Gwen Stefani circa No Doubt), eyebrows became super slim and began to grow further and further apart.
2000s and beyond
The rules? There are no rules! Since the dawn of the 21st century, eyebrows have been in a constant state of flux, and are continually adhering to ever-changing trends – many of which are inspired by the past. Thick brows may be all the rage right now, but who knows what's coming next. As long as it's not a sci-fi style set of Spock brows, I'm excited to find out!

text: To celebrate his 40th anniversary at the Metropolitan Opera, conductor James Levine's life and current work are the subject of a documentary that captures the essence of his unparalleled musicianship and his singular teaching and performance style, while looking back at creative milestones since his Met debut in 1971 at the age of 28. Over the past 12 months, filmmaker Susan Froemke has followed Levine. Included in the film are intimate scenes between the maestro and longtime collaborator Placido Domingo as they rehearse Verdi's Simon Boccanegra; intense rehearsals with the Met Orchestra as they prepare for their first performance of Beethoven's 5th Symphony at Carnegie Hall; and Levine's poignant coaching sessions with aspiring young singers preparing to launch their careers. The film provides a revealing portrait of one of classical music's giants, exploring how Levine transformed the Met's orchestra into one of the great ensembles, elicited legendary performances from leading singers, and nurtured new generations of artists.

Brazil 2012 Fieldwork Diary Entry 12: Cachaça on the Rocks
A 50 litre can of cachaça at the distillery we visited. Photo by Ken Angielczyk.
I almost feel guilty about the pun in the title of this entry, but it does capture two of the important things we did today. Since it's a science blog, I'll start with the science side of things.
We traveled back to Teresina from Nova Iorque today. A little more than halfway between the two cities is the town of Amarante, and just outside of Amarante are some rock exposures we visited last year. The exposures are supposed to contain the contact between the Pedra de Fogo Formation and the older Piauí Formation that underlies it. The Piauí Formation is thought to have formed in a marine environment, and the contact between the formations is not well exposed near Nova Iorque, so we thought this would be a good place for Roger to see it and fill in his knowledge about the oldest rocks of the Pedra De Fogo Formation. The exposure of interest is located close to the road to Teresina, but somewhat below it, so we had to climb down and then work our way back up the exposure, studying the rocks as we went.
Hiking down to the Piauí Formation near Amarante. Photo by Ken Angielczyk.
The surprising thing is that the rocks did not seem to have a strong marine character to them. Instead, the appeared rather similar to rocks we were seeing in the Pedra de Fogo Formation. For example, some of the features of the bedding (or layering of the rocks) and the presence of small, round grains called ooids are consistent with the rocks having been formed in a shallow lake or near the edge of a seaway. There were also somewhat more terrestrial rocks present, including ones with mineral crusts called rhizocretions that form around plant roots in certain soil types. At the top of the hill, near the level of the road, are rocks that represent sand dunes similar to the ones we saw near the top of the Pedra de Fogo Formation near Pastos Bons, even though these are supposed to be near the bottom of the formation in the area near Amarante. Different interpretations of these observations are possible. One is that the rocks are mapped incorrectly in this area. In other words, previous geologists might have mistakenly assigned rocks belonging to the Pedra de Fogo Formation to the Piauí Formation. Alternatively, if at least some of the rocks belonging to the Piauí Formation represent sand dunes and shallow water environments located in their vicinity, this could mean the this general style of environment persisted in the Parnaíba Basin for some time. Indeed, even the Motuca Formation, which overlies the Pedra de Fogo, seems to have been largely formed by sand dunes. In that case, the Pedra de Fogo Formation would capture a snapshot of the animals and plants living in these environments. At the moment, I think I support this interpretation, given that the Parnaíba Basin was located near central Pangaea at the time, and desert environments are expected to have been present in the subtropical portions of such a large continental landmass. The Pedra de Fogo Formation might include more fossils than the Piauí or Motuca formations because it happened to be deposited at a time when conditions were slightly wetter or sea level was a bit higher resulting in the assemblage of animals dominated by fish and amphibians.
Besides the outcrops of the Piauí Formation, another thing that is conveniently located close to Amarante is the distillery for Cachaça Lira. Cachaça is a spirit distilled from fermented sugarcane juice that is very popular in Brazil. It's sometimes compared to rum, but differs from the latter in that fresh sugarcane juice is fermented to make cachaça, whereas molasses is usually the starting point for rum. The Cachaça Lira distillery is still run by descendants of the man who started it in the late 1880's, and is extremely picturesque. The family is very welcoming, and it's a wonderful place to stop on a hot afternoon to chat, eat fresh carambola (star fruit) from the tree in the garden, and have a sip of cachaça.

Cole tosses six scoreless in third rehab start
Injured righty shows improvement in latest strong outing for Triple-A Indianapolis
PITTSBURGH -- The pitching line in Gerrit Cole's third rehab start looked much better than the previous one.
Cole -- who has missed more than a month with right lat tightness -- surrendered just one hit and struck out three in six scoreless innings for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday. He carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning, finished without a walk and threw 73 pitches, 49 of which were strikes.
In his previous outing, which came Tuesday, Cole was charged with five earned runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings. The team deemed it a "gear down" start, and it had been pushed back three days. Cole had a checklist of items he worked on, with his pitching line not being the focus of the outing.
The focus was different for the No. 1 overall pick of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft on Sunday.
"The process for Gerrit today is a little bit more competitive today as far as attacking hitters, versus being refined, being in control, working on pitch sequences," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said Sunday before Cole's sharp outing.
The Bucs didn't have any immediate word on what would be next for Cole, but they've had great patience with the right-hander during his second DL stint of the season. Cole is 7-4 with a 3.78 ERA in 14 games this season, but has pitched just twice for the Pirates since June 3, missing almost a month with fatigue in his throwing shoulder.

Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.

Motherboard Guide
- ‹ Prev
- Next ›
It comes as little surprise that the adoption rate of NVIDIA's nForce 600i series of chipsets isn't as high as we'd have thought. It could very well be because of Intel's stronghold on the LGA775 market with their excellent P965 chipsets, the less than stellar performance of the previous nForce 500 Intel Edition family from NVIDIA or quite possibly because it is the most expensive core logic chipset to implement today. After nearly four months into the launch of the nForce 680i SLI, ASUS is still the only tier-1 manufacturer that has gone on a rampage with multiple product SKUs. Most other vendors have been laying low, slowly tweaking their boards for a 2007 release, but we've managed to secure Gigabyte's upcoming flagship nForce 680i SLI motherboard - the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 - for review right now.
For all who remembers, we've previewed the board early December last year, when Gigabyte brought a sample to an OCZ overclocking event. If you've seen our sneak peek , you would have understood why Gigabyte has been keeping the board under wraps all this time. The GA-N680SLI-DQ6 is Gigabyte's most ambitious motherboard since they launched the GA-965P-DQ6 back in June 2006. As its name implies, the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 is the second board from Gigabyte to feature their Ultra Durable 6-Quad design and the only other board to share the 'DQ6' suffix. Like its Intel P965 counter-part, the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 sports a full set of solid capacitors, over-the-top cooling and packed with more features than you care to count.

One thing you will notice, though, is that however hands-on the home owners are, they will recognise the limits of their own skills and bring in professionals to do aspects of the work – like plastering, plumbing and electrics – that just have to be done right. Even when they DO have those skills, they bring in the professionals to check they are doing things right.
Publishing your own book is like building your own house. Some of those observing the self-publishing phenomenon from the outside – and some of those nervously contemplating attempting it themselves for the first time – imagine that it means the author doing everything alone, from the moment they write The End at the bottom of the very first draft until the book starts flying off the (real or virtual) shelves.
In truth an indie author, like the DIY builder, is more like the manager of a micro-business, taking responsibility for each stage of construction, but knowing when and how to bring in the professionals to help. So what are those professional services you are going to need?
To carry on with the house building metaphor a bit longer – that first draft isn't even the blueprint for the published novel. It's more like the rough sketches for that Grand Design you've been dreaming of. You're going to have to do quite a bit more work on it yourself, bash it into shape, make your vision clearer for your readers. So you go through as many rewrites as it needs until it's as good as you can possibly make it. And then you need to call in the editors!
First off – a word or warning. Close friends and family do NOT make good editors. Even if they are the best-read people you know. Even if they are writers themselves. They love you. They believe in you. They want you to succeed. And with the best will in the world, they are going to read your work through rose-tinted spectacles.
What you need to do is find someone you can trust to be ruthlessly honest. Who understands the genre you are writing in and the standards you need to meet. Who can pull apart the work you have just spent the last few months bleeding over without making you feel as if you're a complete waste of space. And who can help you build it up again so that it is still YOUR book, not theirs, but even better than you ever thought possible.
It may sounds as if we're asking for the impossible – but they do exist, these people. We know. We've found a few of them – and we're recommending some of them here. (Another excellent source of recommended service providers is the Alliance of Independent Authors Partner Members.)
Broadly speaking, there are three types of editing. The lines between them are a bit blurry, and I find it's easier to think of them as three separate processes.
STRUCTURAL EDITING. This is taking a macro view of the book. If you have sub-plots going nowhere, scenes that advance nothing or characters that fail to come alive; if parts of your story are told in the wrong sequence, you've begun it too early or dragged on the ending too long: this is where it should be picked up. At this stage, you want someone who can judge the ms as a whole, and who knows the rules and standards of your genre (and I'm including lit fic as a genre here). Good beta-readers can be excellent at this (but bear in mind what I said about not using friends and family).
CATRIONA TROTH is a structural editor with experience of working with both fiction and non-fiction MSS.
PROOFREADING. This is editing as a lay person understands it: checking spelling, grammar, punctuation. In a manuscript being prepared for publication, it also includes checking that you are using things like em-dashes, en-dashes and hyphens in the correct professional way.
Is all this really necessary? Well, the reading public seems to think so. As reviews on Amazon clearly show, readers can be savagely critical of self-published books that are full of slip-shod amateur errors.
PERRY ILES has been the proofreader for almost all of Triskele' books.
LORRAINE MACE and JOHN HUDSPITH both offer a critiquing service that covers elements of both structural and copy editing.
Polly Courtney worked with editor JOY TIBBS on her novels Feral Youth, Golden Handcuffs and Poles Apart.
INTERIOR FORMATTING. Now, this is something a lot of indie authors do for themselves. It's not intrinsically difficult and there are plenty of programs and packages out there which can help you with the process. But you need to be aware of the rules about laying out the book as a whole (what goes in the 'front matter' before the main text, and in what order, and what goes in the back matter), and about laying out individual pages (first pages of chapters vs. the rest, how page numbering works). You need to understand about balancing the fonts used in the text with those used in headings. And finally you need to understand the differences between formatting print books and eBooks, and the subtle differences between different eBook formats.

"I think the Mizel Museum is the right place for my collection of papers relating to my family and my parents' miraculous survival in Berlin during World War II," he said. "Museums carry a special responsibility to continue to explain and tell about one of the darkest chapters in human history."

Legal high fire sale starts now
Before it's banned
Websites selling mephedrone are already offering the substance for half its previous price, thanks to an imminent ban announced by Home Secretary Alan Johnson yesterday.
Sites are offering a gram for £4.50 rather than the usual £10. Prices per kilo have also fallen from £4,000 to nearer £2,000.
Johnson said: "I am determined to act swiftly on the ACMD's advice and will now seek cross-party support to ban mephedrone and its related compounds as soon as possible. I am also taking immediate action to limit supply by banning the importation of mephedrone; sending a clear warning to suppliers about their responsibilities..."
Quite how the UK Border Agency is going to open thousands of envelopes to see if they contain white powder, then test the powder, is not clear. The insta-ban is possible by removing them from the Open General Import Licence.
Chinese labs, which sell tens of kilos of the stuff to UK dealers, already offer a variety of other chemicals. This range is likely to expand once the cathinone analogue ban is in place.
The ban covers 4-Methylmethcathinone (mephedrone), 4-Methoxymethcathinone (bk-PMMA/ methedrone), 3-Fluoromethcathinone, 2-Methylamino-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propan-1-one (bk-MDMA/methylone) and 2-Methylamino-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)butan-1-one (bk-MBDB/butylone). The legislation "will include generic compounds to prevent suppliers switching to new versions of the substance".
The Home Office said the move would not be delayed by the resignation of another member of the ACMD. Dr Polly Taylor resigned her post on Sunday unhappy at the Home Office's treatment of independent advice.
Three new members of the ACMD have been appointed - the committee is a requirement of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
In other news the ACMD released its Pathways to Problems report yesterday. It looks at dangerous use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs by young people and recommends the government establish a body like the ACMD to advise the Home Office on alcohol and tobacco issues.
Last year the Home Office banned BZP, GBL and Spice - a smokeable, synthetic cannabis. ®

By Judith Colihan [1] Mar 26, 2014 0 [2]
This month, my daughter celebrated her 18th birthday, which left me with a sense of accomplishment that I had managed to raise both of my children to adulthood—more successfully than not, I might add! During the course of the celebration, it was brought to my attention that my son's future plans do not include children. He has come to this decision due in large part to his family history of autism spectrum disorders. For me, this raises several issues. First, of course, I worry that if he holds fast to this, I don't get grandchildren. But one of the personal bigger questions becomes, had I known then what I know now … would I have made a similar choice?
Here's what I know—I have never had one minute of regret over having had my children, even once I knew that I was the perfect argument in favor of a genetic link in autism. What I do regret, however—and have regretted since the day I was diagnosed—was that I had passed along to both of my children so much of what made my growing up (not to mention, being a grown up) so difficult. I wanted them both to grow up feeling comfortable in their own skins. I hoped they would make friends easily and feel at ease when interacting with their peers. I wanted them to have a natural self-confidence I saw in others but could never quite access in my own head. I wanted them to have interests that fell in line with what their classmates and neighborhood kids were interested in, which would make forming those friendships easier. I wanted for them what any parent would want for their children, but that wanting came from a place of longing too—I wanted them to have the tools that would have made their childhoods simple and carefree. Isn't that what every child deserves? I wanted them to have what I didn't. I didn't want them to be natural targets for bullies. I wanted them to know they had every right to stick up for themselves, and the right to expect that others would be in their corner to stick up for them, too. I wanted them to feel comfortable interacting with members of the opposite sex, and not carry that social awkwardness with them well into adulthood where it would become easier to access artificial confidence by way of what we'll call unhealthy coping strategies.
So not surprisingly, I wanted to jump in and immediately set about talking my son out of this decision. The rational voice in my head reminded me that the timing was bad, and since he's not at the point where this is a decision he has to make, there will come a point where the timing is better and we can have a conversation … perhaps a series of conversations. I can tell him what I know without question—that I do not regret having him and his sister even though I passed my autism on to them, and along with the autism came all of those hardships in a variety of shapes and sizes to permeate their childhoods as it did my own. But here's what he gets that I didn't have, what his sister gets too, what all of these children and adolescents who are transitioning to adulthood with the knowledge of their place on the spectrum get: Knowledge. As I said many columns ago [3], knowledge is power. I do not think that my children need to fear having a child of their own with an autism spectrum disorder, because they are incredibly smart, and more importantly, incredibly empathetic young adults who will make amazing parents should they someday make that choice. Perhaps my "job,"—now that I have, after all, successfully raised them to adulthood—is to look for those teachable moments to point out to them both that each and every one of those wishes that I had for them would have been so much more attainable had I gone into the whole parenting thing understanding how my brain worked. That's the advantage they have today that I didn't have, and that's just one of the ways I still believe that when it comes to the autism spectrum, knowledge is power.

| 4.5°C Belfast
Lennox, the dog at the centre of an international campaign to stop a Northern Ireland council from putting him to sleep, has been destroyed.
The dog's heartbroken owner, Caroline Barnes, said her teenage daughter Brooke had been denied the chance to say a final farewell.
"We had told Brooke that even if we don't win (the case), she can still see Lennox, have her last pictures with him and say goodbye," said Ms Barnes.
"To then have to tell her that no, that is not happening, it has been extremely unfair."
The family has been told the dog's body will not be returned but they will receive his ashes.
Last night Lennox supporters staged a protest in Spain, following similar rallies in New York and Serbia.
Ms Barnes said: "We can draw a bit of comfort from all of the brilliant friends that we have made."
The family pet was put down this morning after the expiry of a midnight deadline for legal appeals.
Campaigners claim to have 200,000 signatures supporting a reprieve and emotions were running high.
A Belfast City Council spokesman said: "Lennox, an illegal pit-bull terrier type, has been humanely put to sleep. This was in accordance with the Order of the County Court which was affirmed by the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal.
"Whilst there is an exemption scheme to which dogs of this type (pit-bull terrier type) may be admitted as an alternative to destruction, there were no such measures that could be applied in this case that would address the concerns relating to public safety. The Council's expert described the dog as one of the most unpredictable and dangerous dogs he had come across.
"Over the past two years, Council officials have been subjected to a sustained campaign of abuse including threats of violence and death threats. The Council has been in ongoing contact with the PSNI in relation to that.
"The Council regrets that the court action was necessary but would emphasise that the safety of the public remains its key priority."
Lennox was impounded by Belfast City Council's dog wardens in 2010.
In June, Northern Ireland's most senior judges rejected Caroline Barnes' legal bid to overturn an order for the destruction of her pet.
Ms Barnes, who is disabled, and her family insisted that Lennox was not dangerous, and while it was not clear exactly what breed he was, pit bulls and dogs like them are illegal in Northern Ireland.
Two lower courts had already ruled that the dog should be put down.
The dog was seized by Belfast City Council dog wardens in May 2010. He was assessed to be a danger to the public and subsequently ordered to be put down.
A former Metropolitan Police dog handler claimed the dog represented a danger due to his unpredictability.
Ms Barnes, 35, had accepted her pet was a pit-bull type, but claimed there had been a failure to properly consider a possible exemption scheme.
Her battle for Lennox became an international campaign to save his life. It went "viral" on social media websites and attracted tens of thousands of well-wishers.
Well-known people including boxer Lennox Lewis and Assembly First Minister Peter Robinson were among those who used Twitter to call for the dog to be spared.

Lilliam Sánchez has been married to her husband, Francisco, for six years, and they are pregnant with their first child. She is the youngest of three sisters and one brother.
Lilliam was born in Ciudad Sandino, and she and her family have lived there for many years.
Lilliam is an active member of Betania Baptist Church. She has been at that church for nine years, serving as Sunday school teacher and church secretary. She's worked for Compassion since 2003 and has been a Partnership Facilitator (PF) since October 2007.
1. What are the main responsibilities of your position?
As a facilitator, I help strengthen the church to reach results in the four areas of our work with children: spiritual, emotional, cognitive and physical.
For example, in the physical area, we want children to choose good health habits and to be healthy, so I try to see if that result is being reached or not, because we don't want it just to be written in paper.
In the cognitive area, it is not about spending more money on a computer course for the children. It is about the child's learning and how he or she is using the resources. And so on in each area.
The church partner also gives clear information of how the budget is being used, and facilitators help them in this administrative area.
I want to be clear and let you know that the results aren't seen from one day to another. It is a process.
I believe my responsibility is to help churches become self-sustaining. I don't want children to be sponsored the rest of their lives. I want a generation that can support themselves and sponsor other children.
I want churches spiritually and economically strong, to be light in the midst of darkness.
This also is a process. It might not be seen in one, two or five years, but we are putting the foundation down now to make them strong to reach maturity.
2. Describe what an average day is like for you.
I have two facets. One is the work I do at the office and the other, the work I do in the field.
The partnership facilitator's role has changed and I spend most of the time in the field, supporting directly the partner churches.
Normally, I have one day at the office (Monday) to do the office work, like follow-up funding and reporting. I also coordinate monthly activities and evaluate activities of the previous month in the PF meeting, analyzing achievements and weakness to look for better alternatives.
The other four, five or six days (because sometimes I work Saturday and Sunday, if necessary), I am with the church partner. It is arduous work seeing how the children are doing, how the church is working, and looking for alternatives to do better work. Results aren't be achieved if I stay at the office.
3. How many churches do you visit a day, and how often do you visit a church?
In general, it is one church a day. Sometimes two can be done in one day, depending on the topic or situation that the church is presenting, but it is usually only one a day.
We desire to give more attention to all centers to increase the results with the children. Each PF here in Nicaragua has been assigned a total of 12 centers and we each do 10 visits per month so we visit each church almost once a month. I will visit more than once a month only if it's necessary.
4. What is the best part of your job?
I love the direct contact with children.
Many times I have to do many activities with church staff; however, there is nothing better than the contact with the children, because we exist for them.
On a church visit, I usually get to spend about an hour with the children. I visit each classroom to greet them, talk to them, pray with them, and see what they have learned.
5. What is the most challenging part of your job?
To empower partner churches to achieve the results with children. To empower them through training to do the work we want with the children.
6. Why did you choose this particular area of work? / Why did you choose to work for Compassion?
I join those who say that nothing happens for coincidence.
I feel it has all been God's purpose, so I only ask the Lord to use me. The truth is that I didn't choose to be here, the Lord did, and I love it!
I feel happy when I'm here, but I many times I think, Lord, why did you choose me? There were so many people with many abilities!
However, I recognize that this is His ministry and He brings us here because He wants to use us, and that's what I'm doing. I said to the Lord, use me anywhere you think I need to be. He did.
Now I'm here to help these children. I like to feel useful in the hands of the Lord and to feel that this is not a job for me but a ministry.
7. Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your job?
Honestly, no.
Maybe if this was a means to survive or if I considered it as a regular job, I might feel overwhelmed because the amount of work is heavy. But in the midst of all the work that this position demands, there is something important. The Lord says "I am with you, I won't leave you, not forsake you."
I believe these words. They encourage me, and I say "Thank you, Lord, because with your help the work is easier." Sometimes I wish the day would have more hours to go on and on and on, but sadly it only has 24 hours. 🙂
I love the fact that I work for the Lord. It makes me feel fulfilled.
I have the heart and disposition to serve the Lord. I am not serving man. I am not serving the country director. I work for God, the One who has given us life.
The fact of knowing that one day I'll be in front of the Lord, and all I want Him to tell me is that I'm approved! 🙂
8. What have you learned as a result of your job?
The Lord has taught me that those things that for me are impossible, with Him everything is possible. There is nothing impossible for God.
I have learned that the root of poverty is lack of opportunities, that these children are the way they are because of little opportunities. But through our ministry and through the work the church is doing with children, opportunities are coming up.
9. Tell us about a situation or incident you experienced through your job that touched your heart?
There are many experiences, but one of them is the case of a 10-year-old girl that had no hope to live.
Her single mom did not have enough for a medical check-up or to give her the treatment. The girl was very sick with hemorrhagic dengue and the Lord manifested Himself mightily.
A whole church gathered in prayer. Compassion helped with economic resources to give the girl the attention she needed. Her platelets were extremely low and doctors said only a miracle could save her.
I remember how we were constantly calling the hospital, visiting the girl. It was a very hard situation. We had to take quick decisions in order to save her life.
Now it doesn't matter how much was spent, but that her life was saved. The Lord worked there and her health was restored.
Many churches around and neighbors heard of the marvelous work of God and it was a great impact.
10. Do you have a message for sponsors who support the children?
Yes, I do. Sponsors are an important element in this ministry. This ministry is supported by the Lord; He is our foundation, but we recognize that the Lord touches the heart of people that help our children, and thanks to them we can support so many children in Nicaragua and around the world.
It always impresses me, the fact that someone without knowing a child can help him/her being so far away, not able to see each other face to face.
Thank you for giving some of your money that could be used for your own family. But you send it for a little one you don't know, that's awesome!
I want to encourage you to continue supporting our children because thanks to you, many of them are being released from poverty. Don't give up!
The Bible teaches us that anything we do for a little one, it will be rewarded. So sponsors, Christians or not, the blessing of God will be with you if your heart is willing to help children. I encourage you to continue with the sponsorship.
