Quote:I guess what I am asking is that since a lot of these take downs seem to involve your knees slamming into the mat -and again I am new so forgive me if I am wrong- would that kill your knees if you try that on pavement?
Quote:More often than not, so-called "alive" training is part of the ju jitsu cirriculum, making it a pretty practical art.
Quote:So then Japanese Jujutsu isn't very practical for street defense? I really dont want to sink time and money into something that is a lot of fancy fluff. Just last week a friend of mine who has a brown belt in karate and also does tae kwon do, told me that my weight training doesn't make any difference in a fight. I disagreed of course and argues that because I can deadlift 405 lbs., I can basically pick you up and throw you into a wall. So we went to his basement where he has some practice mats, and all kinds of other weird things that I did not know what they were, and sparred. He tried doing a few kicks which I could see a mile away and had no trouble blocking (I have a little boxing experience), and then I rushed him and grabbed a hiold of his waist, picked him up on my shoulders and slammed him into the ground. It knocked the wind out of him and he couldn't even talk. Now I know that if I had have tried that to a very well trained fighter in an EFFECTIVE art, I would have had my ass handed to me probably, but it seems to me that if I knew somehting like jujitsu, I would be even deadlier at close range.

It was almost four years ago when Whitney wowed us with her Simple Pleasures Hat. There are a few projects from the Bee that every single person at the shop just HAS to make. This is one of them! As soon as fall breezes in, we reach for our Simple Pleasures Hats, grinning as we all arrive to work in our matching knitwear. It's just too good a pattern to pass up, a dream to knit and even better to wear!
For this season, we've knit up a fresh, cloud-like version in elegant creams and super soft cashmere. We started with two strands of Jade Sapphire's beautifully soft and cozy 2 Ply Cashmere. After a few inches of ribbing, we added a strand of Alchemy's mohair and silk Haiku. This gorgeous combination of hand dyed fibers makes for complex plays of pigment and texture with a subtle luster, a downy halo, and a spectacular depth of color!
Like every autumn, I am sure there will be a lot of new Simple Pleasures Hats around the shop. Come surprise us with yours!
To make this version of this hat, you will need the following materials. Please note, the needles are smaller than in the original pattern. Over the years, thanks to the feedback of our wonderful readers, we found that dropping down a couple of needle sizes is a good idea. Cashmere blooms quite a bit with wear, so at first, the 14 1/2-inch circumference may seem a bit small, but after a wear or two, it will feel just right! -Laura
Update: Our Newest Simple Pleasures Hat
February 14, 2020
Our Simple Pleasures Hat is surely simple and definitely a pleasure. Super soft, slightly slouchy, and 100% lovely, it's one of our favorite hats around! Now knit at a slightly different gauge using our Line Weight and Tussock, this beloved Purl Soho classic is back and better than ever! View the updated pattern here!
- 1 skein of Jade Sapphire's 2 Ply Cashmere in the color Ivory.
- 1 skein of Alchemy's Haiku, 40% silk and 60% mohair, in the color Platinum.
- US #6, 16 inch circular needles
- US #7, 16 inch circular needles
6 1/4 stitches = 1 inch in stockinette stitch using the larger needle and 1 strand of each yarn

First it was an 82-year-old Northern Californian talking to a chair. Then it was a 79-year-old Northern Californian referencing Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels in accusing the Republicans of the "big lie."
O, those older Californians! They say the darndest things. Particularly at convention season.
The chair talker was, famously, the famous Clint Eastwood at last week's Republican National Convention. The speaker of the odious and thoughtless Nazi comparison was California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton, who accused GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan of the "big lie."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Burton has apologized, which was the right decision. Eastwood has kept his powder dry as he's been criticized for his performance. But damn the critics, both men remain beloved, by their fans and by a press that loves interesting people.
And if you thought these comments were silly and the reaction to them pointless, well, you better get used to it.
California's leading political voices are old. Really old. And getting older. Heck, 90-year-old actress Betty White, instead of speaking at the Democratic National Convention as some are begging her to do, might think about running for office in California; she'd fit right in.
Beyond Burton and Eastwood, California's two U.S. senators (Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer) and governor (Jerry Brown) are all north of 70s. So is former Speaker of the House and current Democratic Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi.
Old people often don't care what anyone thinks, and sometimes say batty things. And given the ages of the most powerful people in California, you should expect to hear batty things.
So if you want less of this, you should be rooting for a younger generation of California figures to seize power. Sometime soon, before they're old too.
This would seem to be the right time, since no one can say they lack the necessary maturity, given the way their elders are behaving.

Request Consultation
Get White Paper
Quark XML Author is an add-in to Word that lets any Word user create XML content with little or no training. Some organisations have resorted to converting XML to Word format, but a better alternative is to directly create XML in Word. Quark XML Author allows organisations to leverage XML across departments to benefit from the full power of dynamic publishing.
DITA Support:
Out-of-the-box, Quark XML Author enables authors to create DITA publications within Word. An optional module enables authors to publish directly from within Word using the DITA Open Toolkit.
XML Support:
Authoring efficiency:Lets writers focus on content rather than formatting, which reduces one-third to one-half of an author's effort.
Information reuse:Allows authors to reuse the same content in multiple documents, and publish them automatically to print, Web, and other formats.
CMS Integration:
Integrates with Microsoft SharePoint, EMC Documentum, and IBM FileNet Content Manager, allowing the adoption of an enterprise-wide XML strategy and the maximum benefits of dynamic publishing across the organisation.
Quark Publishing Platform Integration:
Allows authors to create information components that feed directly into Quark Publishing Platform, which can automatically combine these components and deliver the content to print, Flash® (SWF), PDF, Web, XML, XHTML, and digital format.
Microsoft Word 2007, 2010 and 2013 Support:
The Quark XML Author add-in supports Microsoft Office 2007-2013. It also provides a single installation package for mixed environments with Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 and 2013.
"Business users use Microsoft Word for authoring and they've been very reluctant to adopt the specialised XML authoring tools that were designed for technical communicators.
At the same time, XML is key to realizing the full power of dynamic publishing. What's needed is a solution that turns Microsoft Word into an XML authoring tool, and that's what Quark XML Author provides."

When two giant employers in southern China offered their workers big wage increases this week, their goal was to dampen labor unrest. But the hikes do more than soothe factory floor anger; they signal huge changes in the way "the workshop of the world" is feeding global consumers.
Rising salaries, say economists and labor experts here, are sounding the death knell for the production system that has fueled much of China's phenomenal economic growth for the past three decades. Instead of relying on huge numbers of workers making miserable wages at unskilled jobs, and churning out cheap exports, the government is keen on moving up the value chain.
At the same time, rising incomes are laying the foundation for another seismic shift in China's development model, as the government seeks to base economic growth more on domestic consumption and less on exports.
Foxconn, which makes the iPhone and other famous electronic items, announced an immediate 30 percent pay hike on Wednesday, more than originally planned, in a bid to raise morale and efficiency after a spate of employee suicides. Honda offered a 24 percent pay raise to striking workers at a parts factory on Monday, tempting them back to work.
The moves followed a decree from the regional government of Guangdong, the hub of China's manufacturing industry, that boosted the minimum wage by 20 percent a month ago.
Workers gain bargaining power
The pay raises reflect a shortage of workers that employers on China's east coast have been complaining about for several months. In February, the state-owned news agency Xinhua reported a shortfall of two million workers in the Pearl River Delta area.
Fewer migrants are seeking jobs on the coast partly because China's population is rising more slowly than before, partly because more factories are opening in the interior and offering people work closer to home, and partly because "the new generation of workers is less prepared to put up with a low-paid job and a boring life," says Lai Desheng, a professor of labor economics at Beijing Normal University.
At the same time, adds Jim Leininger, who works for Towers Watson, a human-resources consulting company, "the trend towards higher quality and production efficiency requires more experienced and skilled workers … who can command higher wages."
Factory shakeout
Rising wages pose a serious threat to small, low-end manufacturers making shoes, clothes, or toys, whose profit margins can be as slim as 2 percent. Such companies, often owned by Taiwanese or Hong Kong investors, are already beginning to move their factories to lower-cost countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia. Others are moving inland, taking advantage of lower wages and taxes there.
More sophisticated manufacturers, however, are likely to stay put in southern China. Some, like Honda, are producing mainly for the Chinese market, so moving abroad would make no sense. Others, like Foxconn, rely on a close network of local suppliers who can react quickly to design changes – a network that cannot be moved elsewhere wholesale.
Wage costs are a relatively minor factor for such companies – witness Foxconn's readiness to raise salaries by 30 percent overnight – and "despite wage pressure, companies think holistically about the system and the business environment generally" when they are deciding whether to relocate, says Mr. Leininger.
"Low-end, labor-intensive stuff will move, but the more interesting things that the government talks about wanting will stay in China," predicts Arthur Kroeber, head of the Dragonomics economic consulting firm.
Companies making those things, however, will not be able to operate in traditional ways, Mr. Kroeber warns. "This is a zero-sum game between wages and profits," he points out. "If wages rise faster, profits will rise more slowly or fall."
That, he says, means that Chinese factories will be forced to follow the path that American and Japanese factories have taken before them: increased automation.
"The writing is on the wall for the model of using vast armies of workers paid $100 to $200 a month," Kroeber says. "We are at the beginning of a very, very different stage of the growth process."
That is what the Chinese government hopes, as Beijing seeks to move the nation's industry away from sweatshops and up the value chain.
"Higher wages are good for China's economic structural changes," says Professor Lai. "If wages rise, it will discourage foreign and domestic companies from investing in low-value production and separate them out from the ones interested in higher value-added production."
Turning to Chinese shoppers
Although average Chinese salaries have risen by about 8 percent a year over the past decade – a little short of GDP growth rates – industrial manufacturing wages have risen considerably more slowly.
In his annual work report to the National People's Congress last March, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao pledged to rectify this, promising that poorer people would be given a greater share of the country's rising prosperity.
"We will energetically expand consumer demand," he pledged, while continuing "to increase … people purchasing power, especially low- and middle-income earners."
This is essential if Chinese consumers are to buy the things that the government hopes they will buy, to keep the Chinese economy humming.
"For 30 years, we have relied on investment and exports as engines of the economy," says Lai. "Investments have caused pollution and other social problems, and exports depend too much on the international economy.
"Now we need to increase salaries to increase consumption, which would boost the economy and thus create more jobs," he argues. "It's a virtuous circle."
It would not necessarily be so virtuous for consumers worldwide, however; rising wages will mean rising prices for the goods produced if manufacturers pass on their higher costs to customers.
"The rest of the world may pay more, but they will be paying more for a better product," says Leininger. "As China works its way up the value chain, lots of my clients are making things better than they did three or four years ago."

Pent Up iPhone DemandBy Reuters - Print
The much-anticipated iPhone has faster Web links than the first iPhone, supports third-party software like games, and is being heavily subsidized by many phone carriers, with some even giving it away to attract new subscribers.
Investors will be particularly interested in demand in Japan, where consumers have a strong penchant for advanced mobile devices. Some see the plan by Japan's number-three mobile service provider, Softbank (9984.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), to sell the iPhone as a big threat to market leader NTT DoCoMo (9437.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) as Apple fans were already lining up in Tokyo two days before launch.
But many analysts are skeptical the device will be popular among mainstream customers as it does not support television services or electronic payment features widely used in Japan.
However, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities analyst Shinji Moriyuki said Softbank stores were getting 50 to 100 inquiries a day per store about iPhones, compared with up to 30 a day before the launch of DoCoMo's popular 906i device series.
Research firm Enterbrain said 6.7 percent of 1,200 people it surveyed in Japan wanted to buy an iPhone immediately, while 35.7 percent were interested but undecided.
Even in mainland China, where Apple has announced no carrier deals or official plans to sell the phone, retailers were gearing up to sell gray-market iPhones.
Many carriers are making buyers of subsidized iPhones commit to contracts they cannot break without a penalty, to discourage them from unlocking the phone to work on other networks.
But a merchant on the third floor of the Cybermart mall on Shanghai's posh Huaihai Road said hacking would still happen.
"As soon as we get it from Hong Kong and bring it over and unlock it, you should be able to buy it here by the end of July at the latest," said the vendor, whose surname was Zhang. "The Chinese are very quick at unlocking iPhones."
Apple still gets paid for hacked phones. Whitmore estimated iPhone gross profit margins at more than 50 percent, versus his estimate for iPod margins in the low 30 percent range.
"To the extent it cannibalizes iPod, it's better economically for Apple," he said.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Meeting of June 8, 2011 - EEOC to Examine Use of Leave As Reasonable Accommodation
JOHN C. HENDRICKSON has been the Regional Attorney in the Chicago District of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since 1990. Mr. Hendrickson is EEOC's chief legal officer in the District which includes Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. He is responsible for the management of the District's litigation and for the supervision of its attorneys.
Prior to joining EEOC in 1981, Mr. Hendrickson was engaged in the private practice of law, including corporate, securities and acquisitions in a major Chicago firm and, also, solo and small firm practice concentrating in complex civil litigation. Mr. Hendrickson received his B.A. degree from The University of Chicago and graduated cum laude from the Columbia University School of Law in New York. He was elected a Fellow of The College of Labor and Employment Lawyers in 2005. He has received diplomas from the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management Federal Executive Institute and from OPM's Eastern Management Development Center. From 2008 to 2011, Mr. Hendrickson served as one of only two Senior Executive Service Regional Attorney Senior Litigation Project managers in EEOC history. In 2007, Mr. Hendrickson received the Chicago Bar Association "Labor and Employment Law Benchmark Award" in recognition of his "continued commitment to bettering the Chicago Legal Community in the area of Labor and Employment Law." The Journal of the American Bar Association designated him as one of the "Newsmakers of the Year 2007-2008." In 2005, the editors of HR Magazine, the journal of the Society for Human Resource Management, in observance of its 50th anniversary, identified Mr. Hendrickson as one of its "50 for History"– "people who–intentionally or not–have changed HR." He has been repeatedly designated an "Illinois Super Lawyer" and has served as field co-ordinator of EEOC National Trial Skills Workshops. In October, 2009, a business columnist for the Chicago Tribune wrote, "The Chicago office of the EEOC is one of the most aggressive federal agencies around...Led by regional attorney John Hendrickson, the EEOC's office at 500 W. Madison St. carries a big stick."
During his tenure as Regional Attorney, the EEOC Chicago District has been one of the agency's leading districts nationwide. Mr. Hendrickson's litigation program has secured over $150 million for victims of employment discrimination, forced major long-term changes in personnel policies and practices, and been a leader in compelling outside monitoring of employers' performance of consent decree reforms. He was lead counsel in EEOC v. Sidley Austin, an age discrimination case against a Chicago-based international law firm which was resolved by a $27.5 million Consent Decree and captured international attention because of its impact on high-end service organizations. Mr. Hendrickson was lead counsel in EEOC v. Mitsubishi which was resolved by a $34 million Consent Decree, making it the then largest sexual harassment case settlement in Title VII history. He obtained a $10 million Consent Decree in the EEOC v. The Dial Corporation, an $8 million decree in International Profit Associates, a $2 million Consent Decree in Cracker Barrel, all class sexual harassment cases. He secured a $6.2 million Consent Decree in EEOC v. Sears Roebuck in the largest stand-alone/single-case Americans with Disabilities Act resolution in EEOC history. In EEOC v. Supervalu-Jewel, a similar ADA leave case, he secured a $3.2 million dollar Consent Decree. He obtained an $8 million Consent Decree in EEOC v. Allied Signal, a class age case in Arizona, as well as $1.8 million Consent Decrees in EEOC v. Ingersoll and EEOC v. Apollo Colors, both race discrimination class actions. The Chicago District continuously litigates systemic class pattern cases, winning EEOC v. Minnesota Dept. of Corrections, an early retirement incentive/health benefits age case, and obtaining a $10 million Consent Decree in EEOC v. Roadway and a $3 million decree in EEOC v. Scrub, Inc. (both systemic race discrimination cases). He secured a $5 million Consent Decree in EEOC v. Woodward Governor and a $2.5 million Consent Decree in EEOC v. Carl Buddig. He has also focused on stopping retaliatory "counter-strike" lawsuits and obtaining damages for their targets as in EEOC v. Ralphs Grocery Company, EEOC v. Custom Companies, and EEOC v. Chateau del Mar.
Mr. Hendrickson speaks throughout the country to law school, bar association, continuing legal education, human resource, and other business and professional groups. He is a member of the bar of Illinois, the United States Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Central Districts of Illinois. He is a member of the Northern District of Illinois Trial Bar.

Dec. 20, 2007
The Lady Bisons are still feeling growing pains, especially on the road.
Thursday night's 63-52 loss to Tennessee State at the Gentry Center added to the discomfort, but coach Frank Bennett saw signs of progress in some areas.
With the Lady Bisons scheduled to travel to Vanderbilt Saturday at 5:30 for the final game before Christmas break, Bennett also sees some areas that need improvement as well.
"We are doing a lot of good things," Bennett said. "We are improving in some areas. But we just couldn't finish the game off. When you are playing a team on its own floor you have to be a little sharper than what we were to finish it off."
Junior center Katie Rollins took over for the Lady Bisons in the early going. She hit the first two field goals of the game to give Lipscomb a 4-0 lead and topped it off with a 3-point shot that put the Lady Bisons ahead 7-4.
Both teams kept it close in the first half. The Lady Bisons took a brief 15-14 lead on a 3-point shot by freshman point guard Jenna Bartsokas at 12:02.
Tennessee State took over the lead at 16-15. The Lady Bisons would tie the game three more times in the final 4:44 of the half, including 26-26 at intermission on a field goal by junior center Rachel Viehmann.
`Rachel Viehmann gave us some good minutes," Bennett said. "She hit her free throws and got some rebounds."
In the second half Tennessee State made an 8-2 run to start off, but the Lady Bisons refused to give in.
A jumper in the lane by junior forward Rachel Davis tied the game at 38-38 with 11:16 left to play. A lay-up by freshman forward Valerie Bronson gave the Bisons a 40-38 lead at 10:50.
Tennessee State made another run, but couldn't open up a lead of more than three points. With 5:25 left to play Rollins connected on a 3-pointer at the top of the arc to tie the game at 48-48.
"We played hard overall, but we have to make plays a little bit better," Bennett said. "We didn't shoot the ball when we had opportunities."
After that tie Tennessee State went on an 8-3 run forcing the Lady Bisons to have to start fouling in the final 1:15 of the game as the trailed 57-51. In the final 31 seconds Tennessee State connected on all six of their free throws to ice the game as the Lady Bisons managed one free throw by senior guard Catie Woods.
Rollins hit 7-of-17 shots from the field, including 2-of-4 3-point attempts to lead the Lady Bisons in scoring with 17 points. It was the fourth game in a row she has led the team in scoring. She was the only Lady Bisons player in double figures.
"Katie has been doing a good job inside," Bennett said. "We are doing a better job of feeding her the ball."
Junior forward Jilian Partin grabbed 11 rebounds for the Lady Bisons, a game-high and a personal season high. She also tied her career high which she set twice last season. She joins Bronson as the only two players on the team to post double figures in rebounding.
Four Tennessee State players finished in double figures with Kendra Appling scoring a game-high 18 points. Obiageli Okafor and Charisse Hicks each had 15. Tiffany Jackson pitched in with 10. Jackson and Okafor each recorded a double-double. They each had 10 rebounds.
"It opened up in the last couple of minutes when we had to foul some because we weren't converting on our end," Bennett said. "We weren't as solid as needed to be defensively. We did some reaching and lunging for balls and helped create offensive for them."
The Lady Bisons are 2-9. Tennessee State is 4-7.

Growth & Jobs | Avasant Foundation to train more than 200 Jamaicans for employment in BPO sector
Not-For-Profit organisation Avasant Foundation will be leading skills training programmes in Montego Bay and Kingston this year to prepare more than 200 young Jamaicans for employment opportunities in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. The 2018 Avasant Digital Youth Employment Initiative will have four consecutive cohorts participating in a five-weeks training programme that will focus onteaching skills in ICT/BPO and customer service. The 2018 programme will end in May.
The award-winning initiative, which is hosted in partnership with the University of Technology, through the USAID-funded Fi Wi Jamaica Project and JAMPRO, is now in its third year of execution in Jamaica. Chitra Rajeshwari, Avasant Foundation's executive director, said that the foundation selected Jamaica for the programme because of the rapid growth of the BPO industry and the need for employment opportunities in the country. She said, "The BPO industry is rapidly growing in Jamaica and there is the untapped human capital - the unemployed youths."
Rajeshwari explained that while the general unemployment rate in Jamaica is trending downward, the rate of unemployment among young people remains high at 25.4 per cent, according to recent reports from STATIN. The initiative has sought to counter this unemployment rate, and the Avasant Foundation has reported that over 90 per cent of its graduates find employment after the programme. Rajeshwari said, "Hiring our graduates is a value added to these companies and they feel they are participating in helping with youth unemployment. It is a win-win!"
To ensure that the programme is relevant to today's BPO industry, Rajeshwari said that while the programme does not change its model, it continuously updates training materials so that graduates stay up to date to the needs of the industry. In addition to the technical skills, Rajeshwari said that the programme had strong emphasis on self-empowerment and the necessity for flexibility while job seeking. She said, "The training we provide, even though specific to the BPO industry, the skills learnt can be transferred to any industry, as customer service is core to any business."
Outsourcing, a place for young people to grow
As the outsourcing sector expands in the region, Avasant Foundation has continued to grow its programmes in countries like Jamaica, Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago. Avasant and its foundation says they have collectively created more than 12,000 new jobs in Latin America and the Caribbean through their services to companies and other economic development initiatives, in a bid to reduce global unemployment.
Chitra Rajeshwari, Avasant Foundation's executive director said BPO is an ideal area for young people to get an introduction to the business world. She explained, "The statistics shows the global outsourcing market amounted to US$88.9 billion in 2017. It is one of the largest job creators and the opportunity to grow and excel within the industry is unlimited, within various disciplines, industrial sectors and locations."
Avasant Foundation is looking to facilitate more cohorts in partnership with JAMPRO, as the outsourcing sector increases its prominence in Jamaica. Rajeshwari explained, "We plan to continue the current model of Level-1 training which is entry level, and from this year on will be adding Level-2 training which is team leader roles. As the BPO industry grows and expands to other areas of the outsourcing sector in Jamaica, we will incorporate those changes in our trainings. We are excited to be partnering with HEART and hoping to find other funding partners in Jamaica who will join us in helping the youths of Jamaica get out of unemployment and into the workforce."

#1 Lyrics
I stuck my hand in the fire, I put one foot in the grave. When the rain came to drown everything, I was waiting in place. With my mind on an island in the vacant sea, it was terribly silent, no one ever talks to me. Im in need of a doctor or shock therapy. Wont you please wipe my memory clean? I wanna be clean again. I wanna live like ive never been torn in two parts. I wanna be strangers again. I wanna exhume your body, consume your heart, make art of your every organ. I awoke with a start, my teeth on' the gravel. In dampness so dark, too deep to unravel. I thought I was alone but the ground began to scurry, and i followed my new friends home. We live without worry, (crawling through mossy cracks) no heartbreak or hurry, (no one to blame no reason for shame) Im never coming back. What a lie ive become. All my senses have numbed. So I cut and i bleed, and you all drink of me, while i slowly drift asleep. I wanna be clean again. Ill never be clean again.

Sometimes, you just have to work on that fake cough, play a little hooky, and head out the door in search of some fun in the sun … accompanied by a mid-day margarita, of course. Thankfully, our fine city has plenty of day-drinking-friendly spots where you can do just that (and more).
From hidden patios to minimalist rooftops, you can awaken your inner bon vivant and lollygag alfresco while contemplating the beauty of the light glinting off your frosty glass. And, if you should feel inclined, a game of boozy bowling or spirited ping-pong under the influence perhaps? One warning: While a day spent buzzed may be decadently louche, we advise sipping slowly and hydrating frequently (safety first, kids). Without further ado, our top 16 list on where to indulge in a little liquor before 4 p.m. — we won't judge. Hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere!

Acrylic is a useful, clear plastic that resembles glass, but has properties that make it superior to glass in many ways. Common brands of high-grade acrylic include Polycast, Lucite and Plexiglass. There are two basic types of acrylic: extruded and cell cast. Extruded or "continuous cast" acrylic is made by a less expensive process, is softer, can scratch easier and may contain impurities. Cell cast acrylic is a higher quality acrylic and U.S. domestic cell cast is a good choice for applications that require the best. Imported cell cast acrylic is often manufactured to lesser standards.
specialty acrylic/methacrylic monomers offer enhanced adhesion in water and solvent-based architectural coatings. Acrylic monomers are versatile chemicals that have a strong ability to polymerize.
This unique attribute makes acrylic monomers ideal for manufacturing many different household, recreational, and industrial products. In fact, our acrylics go into the composition of flocculants, detergents, paints, inks, glues and adhesives and acrylic fibers, to name a few

I have some data on the server (running Linux) which needs to be encrypted (company policy). This data is being served by an application running on this machine. Now I consider a few possibilities:
1) Encrypt only the partition on which the data resides (by the OS).
2) Encrypt only the data in question (some 3rd party software) but not the whole partition.
3) Encrypt everything.
Which option would you recommend? The thing I am most concerned about is performance as this data is heavily utilized. Currently we don't have a possibility of using encrypted SAN disks. The above seem to be the only options. Could you please tell me which option is the best and what software/tools would you recommend to implement it?

London (CNN) -- It may look more amusement park than Olympic Park, but the twisting red metal tower at the heart of the London 2012 Games site is no helter-skelter -- it's a massive piece of contemporary art named the Orbit.
The sculpture, created by artist Anish Kapoor and designer Cecil Balmond, has become a common sight on televisions across the globe in recent days, snaking up through the sky alongside the Olympic Stadium.
But while many visitors to the park have been happy to study the swirling structure from the ground, or to ride to the top and enjoy the sweeping views it offers across London, others aren't so sure.
"I think it's amazing, it looks like a roller coaster," Raven, an 11-year-old local schoolgirl, told CNN on her first visit to the tower.
"It's so ugly it becomes interesting," another Olympics fan said this week after visiting the sculpture.
Earlier this year when the Orbit was first unveiled, London's mayor claimed it was better than the Eiffel Tower.
Boris Johnson said the artwork, which rises up next to the Olympic Stadium at Stratford in the city's East End was "a masterpiece of design and engineering."
"It endlessly repays the viewer, it is a very rewarding thing to look at. The Eiffel Tower is very simple, the Shard, behind me, is a piece of cake -- any child of two could do that -- this is much more elaborate, more sophisticated, more intriguing and complex," he told CNN.
The tower stands 114.5 meters (375 feet) tall, making it Britain's biggest sculpture, more than twice the height of Nelson's Column, almost six times the height of the Angel of the North, and 22 meters taller than the Statue of Liberty.
Visitors climb 455 steps -- or ride one of two elevators -- to two observation decks offering expansive vistas across London.
Johnson and Lakshmi Mittal, CEO of steelmaker ArcelorMittal, joined forces to champion the creation of a large-scale sculpture at the Olympic Park -- after meeting in a cloakroom at Davos.
"It started as a small project, a casual discussion." Mittal told CNN in May. "It was just a scribble on a piece of paper. But it expanded and expanded into this exciting project."
Mittal's company stumped up more than £19 million ($30 million) of the £24 million cost of the structure, providing steel from their plants across the globe.
"The Olympics are a global games -- the whole world participates, 202 countries. ArcelorMittal has businesses in so many countries around the world and so I wanted every one to participate," he said.
Kapoor and Balmond won a competition to design the piece, and have watched it rise from the one-time wasteland, as the Olympic venues around it have also taken shape.
Kapoor said the initial brief called for a tower on the Olympic site, "100 meters tall, or more, and we've done more," explaining that the work "questions the concept of what towers can be."
"As you walk up, around and through it, it's as if the object is happening around you," he said when the sculpture was completed, adding that the Orbit "demands, requires, needs public participation."
"It's all about being here, being involved," he told CNN.
The artist conceded that the £15 entry fee (£7 for children) was high, but said it had been an expensive project, and that he hoped it would eventually be free, allowing more people to visit.
Designer Balmond said the pair intended the sculpture to last far longer than the few weeks of the Olympic Games.
"We hope it will be a monument for London, that will stand for 50 years -- though it might need a paint job by then -- and that it will be a beacon, drawing people to the area."
Kapoor said he was ready for criticism: "When you add such a big edifice to London's skyline, necessarily, people will scrutinize it, and some will be critical, and that's part of the process. We will see..."


text: Brand Marketing A Look at Some of the Key Media Bills Being Introduced Testing the waters for support in an upcoming election yearBy Katy Bachman |November 25, 2013 Share By Katy Bachman |November 25, 2013 Share Congress is winding down for the year, making it highly unlikely that any new laws will get passed; even nominations are having a tough time. There is still a question of whether the Senate, out the first week in December, will be able to vote on the nomination of Terrell McSweeny for an open slot on the Federal Trade Commission. But that doesn't mean pols will sit on their hands. There's an election in 2014, and lawmakers, particularly those in tough races, need to show they are pursuing legislation on myriad topics, some of which could impact media and marketing. As the session comes to a close, several lawmakers have introduced bills on perennial issues, testing the waters for support and laying down markers for what could move next year. Full Alert: Ad Tax Deduction House Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) was pushed by House leadership to delay getting tax reform through committee this year until early next year. That buys the ad community a little extra time to lobby lawmakers to excise provisions that limit or remove the advertising tax deduction. Best Opportunity: Patent Trolls Abuses With strong bipartisan and bicameral support, a new law to curb patent troll abuses is definitely on the fast track. Just last week, a bill introduced by House judiciary chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) went through committee, and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) introduced a companion bill. But even with all the momentum, with only 10 legislative days left to this year's session, early next year is a better bet. Pressure Building: Marketing to Kids For the third time, Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) reintroduced the Do Not Track Kids Act, which extends online privacy protections to 13-15-year-olds. Passing the bill may be a long shot, but it's a sure bet Markey and other lawmakers will continue to put pressure on companies marketing e-cigarettes and energy drinks to kids and teens. Holding Pattern: Security, Data Collection Except for Sen. Jay Rockefeller's (D-W.Va.) Do Not Track Act and Markey and Barton's Do Not Track Kids Act, the focus is on data collection and privacy. Originally anticipated for the end of the year, the Federal Trade Commission's report is delayed until early next year. Still Talking: Communication Laws A narrow satellite communications law due to expire next year is being used as a Trojan horse to open up a discussion about revamping other communications laws. Bills to curb sports blackout rules, reform retransmission consent and level the playing field between online video services and cable will more likely stimulate debate than actually be passed next year.

First Look: Cocktails at Middle Branch, NYC
After igniting a speakeasy craze with Milk & Honey, then fanning its flames with Little Branch, Sasha Petraske is sending his signature Prohibition-era cocktails and code of conduct into brave new territory: Murray Hill.
Designed and overseen by Petraske and his partners Joseph Schwartz, Lucinda Lynn Sterling, and John Bonsignore, Middle Branch takes its precursor's aesthetic a few feet out of the basement. Here, the speakeasy style spreads across two tightly-knit, low-ceilinged floors, each with its own bar. Settle downstairs, and you'll still see some light from the street; go up, and you'll find a crimson banquette, bistro seating, and slender, frosted windows that catch the candlelight.
It may be slightly less secret than the bars that came before, but the mood still hews to the Petraske standard: "It's not just that we have a passion for a certain kind cocktails, we're also known for a certain kind of decorum," Sterling says. "Our lounges are purposefully quiet and respectful. We keep the noise limited, the way speakeasies once did just to keep from being caught."
For the most part, Middle Branch will feature a direct replication of the Little Branch bar program, with the addition of a few local brews on tap down the road. The cocktail list, though, plays out the Prohibition-era canon, keeping some space for a few curveballs: Schwartz's Island Old-Fashioned sports Zacapa aged rum and Velvet Falernum; Sterling's new signature, the Gentle Persuasion is a summery swizzle drink based on Lillet Rosé.
Behind the bar, the goal remains to tailor each drink to the patron who ordered it, maintaining extreme attention to detail: "Part of the pizazz of these places is that the customer gets to watch as the drink comes together," Sterling says. "We open a dialogue, and focus not only on what's going into the drink, but on what the customer's seeing as we do it. It's important to us to always keep the connection."
Middle Branch's official opening depends on the final approval of their license, which the team expects in a matter of days. Until then, click through our slideshow to preview five of their signature drinks.

Mile legend Bannister attends Olympic 1,500 final
By STEPHEN WILSON,
Updated August 8, 2012
LONDON (AP) Roger Bannister will forever be remembered for four laps around the track.
So it was fitting that the first man to break the four-minute mile 58 years ago was front and center at Olympic Stadium on Tuesday night to watch the men's 1,500 meters, known as the metric mile.
"I feel I never really left," the 83-year-old Bannister told The Associated Press after seeing Algeria's Taoufik Makhloufi break away down the stretch to take the Olympic gold medal, the one prize he never collected.
Sitting with him on this night was Sebastian Coe, the former two-time Olympic champion in the 1,500 and head organizer of the London Games.
"Of all the people that I knew had to be in that stadium on the night of the 1,500 meters, it had to be Roger Bannister," Coe said. "It was one of my dreams come true. He is the senior partner of the milers."
Also rushing over to pay respects was Hicham El Guerrouj, the former Olympic champion who still holds the world records in the 1,500 and the mile.
"He's my hero," the Moroccan said. "He's our spiritual father in the 1,500 and the mile."
There they were, three generations of middle-distance greats, all in the same room.
Bannister ran in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, finishing fourth in the 1,500, a race many expected him to win. It was that failure that pushed him to continue running and chase the four-minute milestone, a barrier that some thought physically impossible.
On a windy late afternoon in Oxford on May 6, 1954, Bannister covered four laps on a cinder track in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds, an achievement that still stands as one of the seminal moments in track history.
On Tuesday, the Oxford-educated neurologist sat in the stands for the evening session that included the women's 100-meter hurdles final and women's 200-meter heats. He was then invited to join Coe in the Olympic family seats for the 1,500.
Accompanied by his daughter Erin, Bannister walked with a cane and leaned on the arm of an assistant.
Greeted warmly by Coe, they sat together and chatted animatedly as the runners ran a slow pace. They rose to their feet with the rest of the crowd as Makhloufi sprinted away to win in 3:34.08 seconds.
Bannister dissected the race like the tactician on the track he once was.
"I mean it was faster than the heats and semifinals, which were very disappointingly bunched up," he said. "It was wonderful to see the move at 300 meters from the end, boldly fighting off any possibility of a threat. It was a great race. 3:34."
Said Coe: "Everything with Roger is very analytical: 'Why on earth has he done that?'"
The time was slow by today's standards. Guerrouj's world record, set in 1998, is 3:26.00. Noah Ngeny's Olympic record is 3:32.07. Coe was quick to point out that Tuesday's time was far off his previous Olympic record of 3:32:53, set at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
"It's very unusual to get world records broken when there are 12 runners," Bannister said. "The concern today is to win the race. The time is purely secondary. If the time becomes too slow, then it's disappointing for everyone. So this was just about in between."
Bannister shattered an ankle in a car accident in 1975 and has been unable to run since. He had a distinguished 40-year medical career since retiring after the 1954 Empire Games and was knighted in 1975.
Last month, Bannister carried the Olympic torch on the same Oxford track where he broke four minutes. Many had considered him the favorite to light the cauldron at the opening ceremony, but that honor went to seven teenage athletes.
Tuesday's appearance at the Olympic track won't be his last.
Bannister will be back Friday for the women's 1,500.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Some 1,500 activists descended on the third-ranking House Republican's congressional district Wednesday to push for action on immigration legislation, seeking to increase pressure on the House GOP at a critical time in the immigration debate.
Caravans of cars and buses carrying union members and others came from all over California to House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy's Central Valley district, where they held a rally pressing him to support a pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants in the country illegally. They then visited his office.
"Kevin, if you don't support immigration reform your party will be extinct," read one sign, perched on a truck next to a large stuffed dinosaur bearing a photo of McCarthy's face.
Other signs demanded a vote on citizenship this fall.
"We are here to send a clear message to House Whip Kevin McCarthy that people are demanding that Congress take immediate action on immigration reform with a path to citizenship, and the people are going to hold their Congress members and House leadership responsible," said Hee Joo Yoon, executive director of the Korean Resource Center in Los Angeles.
The rally came as advocates nationwide seek to use Congress' five-week summer recess to build momentum to persuade House Republicans to act this fall on sweeping immigration measures, including eventual citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally.
Immigration legislation stalled in the GOP-led House following Senate passage in June of a far-reaching bill that included billions of dollars for border security, new visa and workplace enforcement measures, and a 13-year path to citizenship.
House leaders have rejected that approach, saying they'll proceed with single-issue bills instead, beginning with border security.
McCarthy has become a particular focus for activists trying to change minds this month. His district is around 35 percent Latino and reliant on agriculture, which uses immigrant labor, and he's the highest-ranking House Republican from an immigrant-heavy state like California.
McCarthy has recently indicated openness to some legal status for some of the immigrants here illegally, though he's stopped short of endorsing citizenship.
The congressman responded to Wednesday's rally, estimated by Bakersfield Police at around 1,500 people, by saying through a spokesman that he welcomed visitors to Bakersfield but valued input from his constituents more.
"I have long said that our immigration system is broken, but rather than take up the Senate bill, the House will move in a step by step approach that first secures the border," McCarthy said.
Associated Press writer Erica Werner in Washington contributed to this report.

Best Pictures of 2012
Best of 2012: The Year in Pictures
Best of 2012: The Year in Pictures
Today's kids might look back on this time in 20 years and feel nostalgic, just like many of us do for the '90s. When they think about 2012, a batch of iconic photos from the year will help define it. These photos include Olympian McKayla Maroney's medal-worthy stink eye that launched an Internet meme, floating taxis following superstorm Sandy, the Obamas on the campaign trail, and, of course, lots of shots of the world's favorite young and in-love royal couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton. While it's still recent history, look back at some of the best pictures of the past year.

AV has not received any gifts yet
Posted on November 25, 2012 at 12:43pm 8 Comments 3 Likes
One night, I was helping my 1 1/2 year old niece brush her teeth. When we were done, we walked out and I turned off the bathroom lights. The room lights were dim and only the table lights were on. When she turned back and looked at the bathroom, she was transfixed, curious and looked a little frightened. I watched her for a while. She has never watched a horror movie, we never talked about ghost or anything fancy like that yet the dim room has made her feel a sense of uncertainty and fear.…Continue

Snapshots From the Sacramento Burger Battle
Sacramento's first burger battle was a solid gold success. September 18th's event, organized by Rodney Blackwell of Burger Junkies, raised over $27,000 for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America and stuffed 650 attendees (and a panel of expert judges, myself included) to the gills with beef.
Fifteen restaurants brought their best to Raley Field, competing for two prizes: the People's Choice award, a trophy topped with a cheeseburger (pictured below), and the Judge's award, a custom-made wrestling belt that they can display all year, and fight to hold on to at next year's battle. Krush Burger won the the People's Choice award for their "Da Philly" burger, made with a blend of Angus short rib and chuck, topped with grilled mushrooms and sweet onions, provolone, and roasted red pepper aioli, on a signature Krush Burger Bun. The Chef's Table won the Judge's Award for their Lucky Dog Ranch Beef burger on a housemade pretzel roll topped with smoked brisket, aged cheddar, heirloom tomato, confit onions, and yellow mustard aioli.
Judging the event with me was chef Bret Bohlmann of Boulevard Bistro, Congressman John Garamendi, Rick Mindermann of Corti Brothers, and Marcus Marquez of Goose & Gander, a restaurant in St. Helena whose cocktails were recently reviewed on Serious Eats: Drinks.

Alumnus Communicates Think Tank's Ideas
By Nicole Cisneros McKeen
When it comes to political ideas, you might think of Rob Bluey '01 as the man behind the curtain. But he's no Wizard of Oz. And he isn't a backroom machine politician, party bigwig, or wheeler-dealer.
Bluey is the director of the Center for Media and Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation, an independent, conservative think tank in Washington. The Heritage Foundation, like most interdisciplinary research institutions, employs researchers and writers who investigate major issues and craft white papers that describe the results of their research and frame the thinking on public policy. Senators and members of Congress rely on the foundation's researchers and writers to give them talking points for the issues of the day.
After Bluey and his colleagues publish their thoughts in white papers, the foundation gets the papers into the hands of the movers and shakers who write the laws that shape the nation.
According to Bluey, here's how it works: "The policy experts come up with an idea and then it goes to the marketing team, which figures out how to communicate it to the public and Capitol Hill, and then a lawmaker takes it through the process to get it into law. My role in that process was initially leading the online team and using social media to communicate the provisions in the policy effectively. Today I'm using my journalism background to tell stories about the impact on real people."
Bluey began his career as a journalist and had his greatest scoop with the biggest political story of the 2004 presidential campaign. As both the Republicans and Democrats marched resolutely toward Election Day, Dan Rather of CBS News ran a blockbuster story slated for 60 Minutes indicating that President George Bush had overstated his military record. The day after the story ran, Bluey was at work, scouring the documents that were the supposed nails in Bush's political coffin.
From the start, Bluey knew there was something wrong with the letters in question. They were supposed to have been written in 1968, but Bluey, a former Ithacan editor, believed they were written with a more sophisticated typography than was available back then. "It helps to be married to a graphic designer," said Bluey, who married fellow IC alumna and Ithacan designer Melissa Bloomrose Bluey '00. "I've always been aware of typography." Less than a day after of Rather's scoop, Bluey's story for the Cybercast News Service was the lead story in the Drudge Report.
"It really changed my thinking of the media world because you saw instantly how you could have such a big impact," he says.
Now at the Heritage Foundation, Bluey is proud to be part of the behind-the-scenes world of American politics. He's particularly proud of the Republican presidential candidate debate the foundation hosted in Washington, D.C., at the beginning of this political season where, he says, the focus was on policy and not personality.

Direct Air Suspends All Flights; Parent Files Chapter 11
After Direct Air abruptly canceled its schedule at the height of spring break and suspended all flights for two months, the discount airline's parent company is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Court documents show Southern Sky Air & Tours LLC on Thursday has between $10 million and $50 million in debt and just $500,000 to $1 million in assets.
Direct Air has said it will not fly until May 15. Ticket holders were told to contact their credit card companies for refunds.

"I'm very concerned," said WTAE photographer TJ Haught, who recently booked five tickets to Myrtle Beach for July. "There are not too many businesses that can go on a two-month hiatus and then come back and then come back and start serving customers the way they say they can. Usually, if you are gone, you're gone."
Direct Air is a seasonal carrier in Pittsburgh, which means the airline hasn't been flying out of Pittsburgh International Airport during the winter, but it was scheduled to resume flights from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach last weekend.
It also recently announced the beginning of nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Lakeland, Fla., on May 18.
Direct Air's Ed Warneck told The Sun News that the airline missed a fuel payment and the fuel supplier cut it off.

Citizens will get stuck with bill for fracking
On Sept. 20, Environment New York released a report "The Costs of Fracking," which exposed the hidden economic downside to fracking. The environmental damage done by this destructive drilling in other states - contaminating water, making families sick and ruining our forests - is bad enough by itself. But to add insult to injury, our research shows that, when the boom is over, we'll get stuck with the bill.
I was particularly struck by the fact that the truck traffic needed to deliver water to a single fracking well causes as much damage to local roads as nearly 3.5 million car trips. In Pennsylvania, this translated to the state estimating that it needed to spend $265 million in 2010 to fix the damage.
Like every other polluting boom, the new gas rush looks seductively like a "get-rich quick" scheme. But history tells a different story. Decades after Pennsylvania's coal mining boom, that state is now stuck with $5 billion in cleanup costs, and those old mining companies are long gone.
The staggering health and environmental tolls of fracking are reason enough to ban the practice. But it also turns out that dirty drilling means dollars down the drain.
David VanLuven
Director, Environment New York
