Prairie Central boys ran over by Pioneers
It took U-High about six minutes to find a rhythm, and then it was all she wrote for Prairie Central in a Corn Belt Conference boys' basketball game Thursday.
The Pioneers outscored Prairie Central by five in the final two minutes of the opening period and went on to claim a 72-34 decision.
"We kind of traded blows with them early," PC head coach Rick Schertz said. "They threw a good punch and we didn't get up right away, and when we did get up they hit us again. By that time you could see our kids, it was the deer in the headlights and it was over from then on."
Addison Bounds scored on a baseline jumper to knot the game at 9-9 with two minutes left in the first frame. Other than Kyle Moody's basket 40 seconds later, making it 13-11 in favor of U-High, the Hawks got no closer than seven the rest of the night.
U-High got hot, burning the nets at better than 50 percent from the field in the first half, including a time period it seemed the Pioneers did not miss at all.
That was during the 15-point run that created separation and putting the visitors ahead 35-13 with 2 1/2 minutes to go in the half.
It was a 43-20 game at the break and it took little time for that margin to grow to 30 points in the third quarter.
Kieta Bates-Diop took an alley-oop pass and thunder dunked on the Hawks to open the second-half scoring. PC managed just five points in the third quarter and fell behind 64-25 by the start if the final frame.
"It's one game, one game isn't going to do anything, it's a lot of little things. We tried to work on little things as far as our offense trying to get better," Schertz said.
Bounds finished with 10 points to lead the Prairie Central (4-1) offense. Ed Shafer added 8 points while Lane Maurer and Kyler Hoffman each scored 5 points.
Bates-Diop, Malik Wildermuth and Kane Wildermuth each had 15 points for U-High (5-0).

Maine man charged with DWI in Auburn crash
January 30. 2014 7:53AM
AUBURN - A Maine man is charged with DWI and other offenses after he lost control of his car on Hooksett Road, which went airborne for a distance before slamming into a tree 15 feet off the ground and snapping it in two, police said.
The crash happened about 12:40 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of Hooksett and Old Candia roads.
Sgt. David Garofano said Daniel Gillis, 34, of Lisbon, Maine, lost control of his 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse, that went over a stone wall and was airborne for about 150 feet before hitting a tree 15.
Gillis was taken to Parkland Medical Center in Derry for treatment of injuries Garofano described as minor. Gillis is charged with DWI, driving after license suspension, disobeying a police officer and motor vehicle violations.
Garofano said speed was a factor in the crash that heavily damaged the car.

Rolf O. KROGER, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Psychology University of Toronto
Rolf died, as he lived, with grace, courage, humour and dignity, at home on April 18th, 2003, of advanced prostate cancer. He was the devoted and beloved husband of Linda WOOD. He was the cherished son of Erna KROGER and son-in-law of Adele WOOD; loving brother of Harold and Jurgen KROGER; dear brother-in-law of Wilma KROGER, Edelgard DEDO, Lorraine WOOD, Robert and Deborah WOOD, and Reg WOOD; much loved uncle of Andrew KROGER and Stephen KROGER, Christina and Linda JUHASZ- WOOD, Taylor, Genna and Devon WOOD, Jonathan and Nicole WOOD, Phillippe NOEL, and Jose and David TILLETT, and nephew of Liesl WINTER, Otto WINTER and Alf and Sue MODJESKI. Rolf was born in Hamburg, Germany, on September 28th, 1931. He emigrated to Canada in 1952, and completed a B.A. in psychology at Sir George Williams College (now Concordia University) in 1957. Following his M.A. (1959) at Columbia University, New York, he received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley in 1963. His advisor, Prof. Theodore R. SARBIN (Prof. Emeritus, University of California, Santa Cruz,) has continued to be a valued colleague and dear friend, together with Rolf's fellow graduate student, Prof. Karl E. SCHEIBE of Wesleyan University and Karl's wife Wendy. Rolf joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto in 1964 and continued his research and writing in social psychology after retiring in 1996. Rolf's work addressed a variety of topics concerning the individual in the social system. His articles and papers on the social psychology of test-taking, hypnosis, history, epistemology, methodology and the discipline of social psychology all reflected his dissatisfaction with the status quo combined with proposals for new directions. For more than 20 years he has worked with Linda A. WOOD (University of Guelph) on topics in language and social psychology (e.g., terms of address and politeness), and most recently on a book on discourse analysis. At the time of his death, he was working on a discursive critique of the 'Big Five' personality theory enterprise and on stories of his experiences growing up in Germany during the Second World War. Rolf also took great pleasure in teaching and greatly valued the opportunity to work for almost forty years with so many talented and enthusiastic students, both undergraduate and graduate. Rolf was privileged to have many long-lasting Friendships, and he was grateful for the encouragement, help and comfort given by so many, especially Bogna ANDERSSON, Eva and Fred BILD, Clare MacMARTIN and Bill MacKENZIE, Frances NEWMAN and Fred WEINSTEIN, Jesse NISHIHATA, Anne and Michael PETERS, Andrew and Judi WINSTON and Lorraine WOOD. We have also been sustained by the kindness of our neighbours on Walmer Road. We express our particular thanks and appreciation to family physician and friend, Dr. Christine LIPTAY. Our thanks go also to the staff of Princess Margaret Hospital, to the physicians and nurses of the Hospice Palliative Care Network Project, especially Dr. Russell GOLDMAN and nurses Francine BOHN, Joan DYKE, Dwyla HAMILTON, Lynda McKEE and Ella VAN HERREWEGHE, and to the nurses of St. Elizabeth, especially Liz LEADBEATER, Sylvia McCALLUM and Cecilia McPARLAND. Cremation was private. There will be an Open House for remembrance and celebration on Sunday, April 27th (3-7 p.m.), Monday, April 28th (4-8 p.m.) and Tuesday, April 29th (4-8 p.m.) at 98 Walmer Road, Toronto, Ontario M5R 2X7. Please direct any queries to Frances NEWMAN (416-351-0755.)

George Jones, "Amazing Grace" (Bandit/Welk)
The first release of George Jones music following his death in April features the legendary singer on a collection of traditional hymns.
Largely recorded in 2002, "Amazing Grace" finds Jones in full voice and backed by the subtle orchestrations of producer Billy Sherrill, who recorded many of Jones' classic hits in the 1970s and '80s.
Across 12 recordings, Jones performs classics such as "Peace In The Valley," ''The Old Rugged Cross" and the title song with solemn reverence, using subtle shifts in volume and phrasing to draw deep emotions from these often-performed standards. Each song features moments that prove why Jones was an unparalleled vocalist.
Sherrill also shows why he was such a great studio match for Jones. Whether it's the quiet piano-and-bass opening of "In The Garden," or how the harmony voices and steel guitar play off Jones in "Just A Closer Walk With Thee," Sherrill's arrangements add depth to the singer's distinctive interpretations.
Many of these tracks were available for a limited time as "The Gospel Collection," which went out of print in 2006. An unreleased track comes from 1994, with Jones warming up for a recording session by singing "Great Judgment Warning" with producer Brian Ahern on acoustic guitar and Marty Stuart on mandolin, with guest vocalists Jessi Colter, Waylon Jennings, Ricky Skaggs, Connie Smith and Travis Tritt. It's a stunning closer to a remarkable collection.

So, what to do with this. If we don't run it, we're pro-Linux. If we do run it, we're pro-Microsoft. And I'm sure that whatever we do, we're anti-Apple somehow. In any case, here we go: the latest market share figures from IDC about servers show that Windows is by far the most popular server operating system in terms of unit sales, increasing its market share even further. Linux, on the other hand, saw its market share in the server market sink a little.

I think it is unfortunate that people use numbers like they tell a story.
True, microsoft is making money regardless. If I were going to get a server, I would buy the server I want, with windows on it, because the linux they offer on the server isn't the one I use, and basically to get it only cost me the price of a CD or DVD. I think a lot of people who have this choice to make would make the same decision.

2013 will see businesses' focus shift from capital expenditures to operation expenditures that provide better cost predictability and provisioning of services, which spells opportunity for MSPs.
"I would never employ an IT manager," Bier said. "I use a managed service partner. It just makes the most sense to be as efficient as possible. Thinking not as a recruiter, but as a small-business owner. ... I can't exist without an IT infrastructure," he said. "You've got to have the most efficient operating IT footprint, IT infrastructure."

"All Day and a Night" (Harper), by Alafair Burke
Alafair Burke tells a compelling tale that combines a police procedural and a legal thriller in "All Day and a Night."
Anthony Amaro, convicted of killing six women 18 years ago, has always claimed he is innocent and that he was coerced to confess. Now the murder of a psychotherapist puts his convictions in doubt, and a hot-shot attorney named Linda Moreland sees the case as a way to further her career. She hires a woman named Carrie Blank who works with federal appeals in a prestigious law firm to assist her. Carrie, whose sister was one of Amaro's victims, is eager to help find the killer.
NYPD Detectives Ellie Hatcher and JJ Rogan are assigned to give the case a fresh eye, even though it's out of their jurisdiction. Ellie is dating the lead prosecutor in the case, and she's forced to question whether she earned the job or it's preferential treatment. There isn't much time to ponder why she and Rogan got the assignment because the investigation of the psychotherapist's death appears to prove Amaro's innocence.
Burke's talent as a writer continues to grow along with Ellie's character. Although this is the fifth book in the Ellie Hatcher series, there isn't a better starting point than "All Day and a Night," which will keep the reader up all night.

McMillan's very specific political party speaks for what many tenants in the city have sought for years: an affordable option for living the American Dream.
According to reports last week, the average New York City leaseholder currently pays nearly 30 percent of their annual income in rent every year. The lowest income earners are sometimes dishing out half of their annual earnings. Meanwhile, the city has seen a its rental vacancy rate hover at around just 3 percent.
On mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's first day in office next January, his number one priority should be ensuring that additional affordable housing be built to not only accommodate the lowest earners and even struggling middle class, but also the growing homeless population
The Coalition for the Homeless reports that nearly 51,000 people occupy city municipal homeless shelters every night. Over 21,000 of those are children. How do we expect these kids to excel in school when every day their living situation is up in the air?
Mayor Michael Bloomberg caught some heat after recently noting that the lack of affordable housing has actually been a "good sign."
"It doesn't mean it isn't a problem, but there are no vacancies," Bloomberg said on WOR-AM radio last month. "That will bring in investment for people to build for all income levels, different kinds of housing."
As the first Democratic mayor since Dinkins was elected in 1990, it is time for a new focus and a new vision for the underserved people of the city.
Earlier this year, de Blasio introduced a plan as public advocate to add over 100,000 affordable housing units and preserve nearly 90,000 over the next 10 years to combat the problem.
As mayor, he should immediately build a system that would strenghten the mandate on developers to provide sufficient affordable housing through either tax incentive programs, as well as a plan to utilize the city's pension fund to rebuild currently dilapidated housing units.
As a former regional director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Clinton administration working under none other than Governeor Andrew Cuomo, de Blasio should have the experience and the connections to get this done.
It was him, after all, that pushed the message of a "Tale of Two Cities" throughout his campaign and rode it to victory. Now that he has the job, it's time write a new chapter to that tale.

Networks project Obama wins re-election as presidentReuters
November 07. 2012 12:00AM
Television networks projected that President Barack Obama won re-election as U.S. president over Republican Mitt Romney in Tuesday's election despite a sluggish economy and high unemployment.
Obama rode signature first-term accomplishments including the auto industry bailout and the killing of 9/11 terrorist attack mastermind Osama bin Laden to another four years in the White House. His victory ensures continued implementation of signature health care and financial sector reform laws and could bring higher taxes for the wealthy as part of deficit-cutting efforts.

Clarkson Student Spotlight: December '10
Erika Romero '12
Global Supply Chain Management major, Law Studies minor
Peekskill, New York
Half way through her junior year at Clarkson, Erika has really found her own groove. She's currently the secretary of CUSA (the Clarkson University Student Association), a member of the club crew team, and the vice president of Sigma Gamma Phi (Arethusa) sorority, which has sisters from both Clarkson and SUNY Potsdam. We caught up with Erika at her CUSA office, which is located in the new Student Center, to see what she had to say about Clarkson and more.
Q: What is your favorite Clarkson memory thus far?
A: The campus-wide dodge ball tournament that we recently had (Dodging for Dreams). It was great to see all the students get together and have fun, and it showed that the Clarkson community is very supportive.
Q: What is your favorite thing about December?
A: The smell of firewood burning reminds me of my childhood. While walking to school, I always passed a small house that burned firewood. Right across from it, there was a huge rock that had long icicles hanging from it. When the ice started melting, it was like a tiny waterfall. It was beautiful.
Q: What is your guilty pleasure?
A: I love TV. I don't have cable or much time right now, but here and there I go on Hulu and watch Glee. In the summer, I love to catch up on my Spanish soap operas.
Q: What unique experiences have you had at Clarkson?
A: I had dinner with President Collins and his wife, Karen. How many kids in other universities say that? Not many I'm sure. I could tell that they really look out for Clarkson students' best interests.
Q: Who is your hero(es)?
A: It sounds cheesy, but my parents. They left Ecuador, their loved ones and everything they knew to come here. I am where I am in life thanks to them and the way they raised me. When I hit a rough spot, I always think of all the sacrifices they have gone through for me, my brothers and my sister.
Q: Why did you choose Clarkson?
A: Clarkson was my first choice. I was trying to choose between engineering and business. Clarkson has the E&M program, which combines both, so I didn't have to choose right away, if at all.
Q: Who is your favorite musician/band and why?
A: Mana! They use metaphors that are very clever and that fit perfectly with the message they are trying to convey to their listeners. Also, they promote sustainability and world peace. Not many bands do that anymore.
Q: Who is your favorite professor?
A: Luciana Echazu from the School of Business, especially her Econometrics class. She is a great professor and very passionate about what she does. I struggled with the first exam, but she didn't give up on me. In fact, she walked me through the course one-on-one and made sure I understood everything.
Q: Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you.
A: I tried out for my high school boys' football team my sophomore year because I wanted to prove that women could play too. However, the team and coaches never let me play on the field.
Q: What are your goals for the future?
A: A major goal I have is to travel and translate for the United Nations or an international firm. I love learning languages and helping people.

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - There is new information being released about recent bubbling in a bayou near the massive sinkhole in south Louisiana.
Texas Brine, the company responsible for the sinkhole, reported scientists determined the new bubbling site is the result of swamp gas and is not related to the giant slough in nearby.
The bubbling site is located in Grand Bayou off LA 69.
A sample was taken from the bayou two weeks ago.
Swamp gas is caused by a natural breakup of organic materials.
History of the Sinkhole
The sinkhole opened up in August 2012 and was roughly 1/24 of the size it is now. The sinkhole formed when an underground salt cavern collapsed.
In the past, seismic activity is reported, then the sinkhole burps up debris and then a slough-in happens. Burps occur when air and gas from deep in the sinkhole bubbles up. It can cause debris and an oily substance to float to the top. A slough-in is when the sinkhole swallows trees and land that is on the edge of the sinkhole.
Berms were placed around the sinkhole shortly after it opened up to keep the oily, debris filled water contained to the sinkhole area so it would not contaminate the area bayous.
It has more than a year since hundreds living near the giant sinkhole were forced from their homes.
Bubbles were spotted in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou in June 2012. Two months later, the ground opened up and left what is now a 24-acre sinkhole. Residents were evacuated and the most affected residents began receiving weekly checks from Texas-Brine in the amount of $875 per week. Texas Brine owns the salt cavern that collapsed, causing the sinkhole.
On August 2, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Attorney General Buddy Caldwell announced the state will be suing Texas Brine for environmental damages caused by the failed Texas Brine cavern.
Parish and Texas Brine officials agree the situation is far from over. 3D seismic surveys show the sinkhole itself it beginning to slow and stabilize, but the recovery is focused on another danger; natural gas gathering underneath a nearby aquifer.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi was very honest that current extensive measures were not an overnight Eurozone growth panacea. And that explains a lot about seemingly erratic market responses which were in fact wholly predictable.
There is quite a lot to be said for the creative structure of the latest ECB stimulus program. Given the major differences of its multinational composition compared with other major central banks, this was a requirement. In the first instance there is no single national government bond market, and in any event major purchases of those bonds would fly in the face of the rightful Teutonic proscription on 'monetary financing' of government debt. And in the second case, the problem is not with rates that are generally too high, but rather with encouraging lending to the corporate sector; especially in the still weak economies on the periphery of the Euro-zone.
And in that regard the various policies initiated today appear to be quite useful in addressing the specific issues that continue to restrain the Euro-zone economy. While it was only hinted at previous, there are direct incentives in a couple of the key initiatives that may well encourage the activity the ECB wants to see. And yet, Signore Draghi was very honest in allowing that efforts of this type take some time to have an impact. In response to a key question on economic developments from the measures instituted today, he allowed it might take three or four quarters. That additional bit of candor explains a lot about the actual market response in various asset classes.
The requirements for development of the ABS (Asset Backed Securities) market that the ECB is encouraging seemed pretty sensible. In the context of the ECB's limited ability to buy government bonds, the lack of a more extensive ABS market in Europe is a real impediment to the ECB's efforts to stimulate more corporate lending. However, the last thing they want is a pre-crisis free-for-all that saw the development of highly exotic, hard to value securities.
As President Draghi noted during the Q&A, there are three primary requirements for any Asset Backed Securities developed in the Euro-zone. They must be simple (no CDO's or other exotic animals), real (as in based on actual loans), and transparent, so that the true nature of the underlying instruments will be very clear to investors, traders and the ECB.
And the new TLTRO ("Targeted" Long Term Refinancing Operation) program also makes sense. Those loans will be low-cost and have a longer-term (four years) than the original LTRO program. Use of the funds must obviously also avoid the sovereign bonds that the ECB and others feel are already over weighted in various banks' balance sheets at present, as well as not providing financing to any sectors that are deemed possibly to either be in, or just coming out of, an asset valuation bubble.
The main thrust is as he stated in the press conference. The ECB has wanted to find a way to encourage more legitimate lending to the corporate sector on the periphery of Europe for some time now. It has had a major focus on the divergence in economic activity and lending rates between core and peripheral Europe.

Run Like You Stole It
By: Ryan Guinan
Base stealing has become quite a habit for the 2011 Fresno Grizzlies. The team has eclipsed three stolen base records this season and demonstrated they can put the pressure on the base paths. Led by the PCL's leading base stealer Tyler Graham, this group of speedsters has not hesitated to gamble an extra 90 feet if it could mean the difference in a game.
Tyler Graham has become known for lightning quick plays on the bases. This year, he has surpassed the old franchise mark for stolen bags in a season (42) set by Calvin Murray in 1999. Graham accomplished the feat in a winning effort on July 9th to set up a walk-off hit by Justin Christian. Graham stole second, third and eventually scored the winning run. Its plays like this that can change the course of a close game and perhaps a season if the situation presents itself.
Graham's aggressive base running has proven successful for him throughout his entire career. Heading into an eight game road trip against Iowa and Omaha, Graham was successful in 51 of his 61 attempts to swipe an extra bag. Graham currently leads the PCL in steals and has done so by leaving the rest of the pack in the dust. He holds a 13 base cushion to Esteban German of the Round Rock Express who ranks second in the league. He constantly has pushed the limit to get on base and look for an extra 90 feet that could be the difference maker.
Tyler has led this Grizzlies team to a record of their own, the franchise's single season mark for most stolen bases by a team. They beat out the 1999 Grizzlies who had 145 thefts that season. On July 23rd, in a game against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, Justin Christian stole second base to make it 146 on the year for the 2011 Grizzlies. The benchmark seemed destined to be broken after last year's club totaled 143 stolen bases, just two shy of the old franchise record. On their way to the record, the team also recorded 10 stolen bags on April 10th against Las Vegas. This number was good enough for another Grizzlies record, most stolen bases in a game. The group was filled with the potential to overcome the team record with guys like Graham, Darren Ford, Emmanuel Burriss, and Christian. Grizzlies' fans would expect nothing else while under the management of Steve Decker. He has been known to harass opposing pitchers with the constant threat of a base stealer. His ball club in San Jose totaled 205 bags swiped in 2008 and his Grizzlies last year compiled 143. Stealing bases is no surprise for a Decker team, but much more of an expectation.
This team has made the franchise record more of a spectacle to see as they have run wild on the bases. With the Giants ranking in the bottom of the league in run production, aggressive base running could be their answer to more runs. Fans can recall a Grizzlies September call-up last year that led to a big win against Colorado on September 1st.
In a 1-1 deadlock, Darren Ford was put into action, pinch-running for Mike Fontenot. He would go on to flash his speed that day for the go-ahead run. He didn't hesitate one bit in his first Major League appearance. He advanced to second base on a wild pitch and than made his way home on a throwing error to third for the game-winning score, which eventually proved to be just as important as any other run that season. The Giants had to use all 162 games in order to clinch the division and a spot in the post-season, making Ford's speed more valuable than ever for the club. The Giant's base running threats are limited this year and their run production ranks amongst the bottom half of the league. Aggressive base running could prove to be their only hope, meaning one of the Grizzlies could be called up solely for speed purposes as Ford was last year.
The Giants are attempting to repeat their World Series performance of last year while fending off surging Arizona. San Francisco has been thriving off of one-run ballgames. If this continues to be the case, they may need to call up another speedster from Fresno. Although the Giants main need is hitting, they may look to have one man on the bench who can change the game in a foot race between him and the catcher's arm for an extra 90 feet. If this is the case, Fresno is ready to go with numerous guys who can add their speed to a World Champion. The Grizzlies will continue to extend their records for the rest of the season and hopefully, one of them can make it up for a September call up to help make another run to the World Series.

I noticed that the Christmas elf was in the top 50 so I went ahead and made a lesson on "how to draw a Christmas elf for kids", step by step. The elf that you will be drawing can very simply be made into a female if you like. You can either draw long braids, curly hair, straight hair, or you can even add some pouting eye lashes. The Christmas elf's outfit doesn't really need to be changed because as you know elves look the same no matter what sex they are. Anyways, have fun drawing a Christmas elf for kids, and I will return shortly. Peace people.

Steve Earle and three other acts coming to Bear's Den Showroom in May
Just ahead of its unveiling of the 2013 Summer Rush Concert Series, Seneca Casinos announces new acts to round out its spring entertainment lineup. Topping the list is country superstar Sara Evans, who brings her powerful vocal skills to Seneca Allegany Events Center for a late-afternoon show on Sunday, April 28, at 5 p.m. Also coming to the 440-seat Bear's Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in May is Steve Earle, Steve Augeri, David Bromberg Quartet and Classic Albums Live presents: "Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II."
Evans will take the stage at Seneca Allegany Events Center in Salamanca with a country-style grace that only she can deliver. Since her 1997 debut, Evans has charted five No. 1 singles, including "No Place That Far," "Born to Fly," "A Little Bit Stronger," "A Real Fine Place to Start" and "Suds in the Bucket." She has earned top honors from a host of music organizations, including Billboard, the Academy of Country Music, the Country Music Association, Broadcast Music Incorporated and the Gospel Music Association. Evans' latest album, "Stronger," reached No. 1 on the country music charts, and a follow-up album is currently in the works.
Tickets for the 5 p.m. show start at a bargain-priced $20 and are on sale now.
During the first weekend in May, it's all about "Steve" at the Bear's Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in Niagara Falls.

This week I was at the eMetrics summit in Stockholm and have couple of thoughts on web analytics and how companies are or should implement it.
Recent study made by Webtrends indicated that nearly 60% of companies had "some" metrics but still feel that there is room for improvement. Around 15% where confident that they where doing their analytics well and, that is they felt that measuring was a real strength of their team.
My experience is actually that of these 15% over 75% are not doing it properly and have not set among other the right KPI's.
Most of the time companies are measuring but they have no clue of what their real goals are and there for even though they are collecting loads of data there is little to do with it.
So as companies as questions how do we make our website better, then the question should always be better at what? This goes with analytics also where the question is always what should we measure and the answer is to that what is it that you want to achieve? Companies need to set definite business goals and KPI's. Simply put if you have set these goals and lined up the KPI's then will be able to extract the metrics.
I am a strong advocate of companies understanding the full impact of their website, that is not only looking at trends predefined reports such as in Webtrend but using the tool to dig down look at individual pages and understand their role within the site as whole and as importantly look at individuals visiting your site, get the feel for the flow so to speak.
By doing this you can for example measure far better if changes are actually improvements or not. Often when we work with companies that are reinventing the web we find that "feelings" play to strong of a role as we tend to have strong opinions of things, by applying web analytics before and after this can be stripped away and companies can take educated decisions on things. I would even suggest that companies looked at using such tools as Tobii for eye-tracking, but that is another story.
For those looking into what tools to use, I can only point you to www.stonetemple.com where you can find great information on the best tools in the industry. There you can also find a report called (if memory serves me right) "the web analytics showdown". Read that.
There are also great resources to be found at www.webanalyticsdemystified.com – There you find a great whitepaper on "free" analytics versus not free.
From my personal point of view I tend to favor Indextools, but as you most likely know if you have been doing some digging that there are many out there. The main thing is, start measuring!
If you need a proof of concept number for your boss, get a trial period with a tool and show him "total contact hours of the web to the customer (heard this at the eMetrics, can't remember from whom). There is no other advertising / communication channel that has similar numbers and actually no other channel can show you their numbers in such accuracy.

We get a lot of mail at NPR Music, and amid the Fun-Dip valentine cards we ordered strictly for the Fun-Dip is a slew of smart questions about how music fits into our lives — and, this week, just in time for Valentine's Day, thoughts on platonic mixtapes.
Stephanie Marten-Ellis writes via Facebook: "How do you share good music with someone without giving the impression that you're 'trying to say something'? You just like the song and want someone to know about it! Can you separate your music suggestions from how you perceive/think of your share-ee?"
See, this is one of the reasons why so many people hate Valentine's Day: In addition to the pressure it places on couples to meet various romantic obligations, it also complicates the way signals are read by platonic acquaintances. If you're not interested in dating a romantically unattached friend, and you happen to belong to each other's preferred gender, you're often better off spending this Friday night at home than asking him or her out for drinks after work.
But mixtapes, like most things, are better than Valentine's Day: They're a wonderful way to share music, help your friends discover and cherish the things you love and, when you want, illustrate your romantic feelings more eloquently than you ever could. I'd never want to discourage anyone from making a mixtape.
But let's assume, in the spirit of Feb. 14, that there's at least the potential for your intentions to be misinterpreted; that you've just discovered The Jets' mid-'80s hit "Crush on You," for example, and wish to share it without its message being confused with your intentions. While there's something to be said for straightforward openness, sugarcoated with humor — titling your mix "I Like You, But Not In That Way" or "PlatoniMix 2014" or whatever — I recommend giving yourself cover by trying out a song share with a wider circle of friends.
This can be as simple as picking 10 of your music-liking pals and emailing them YouTube links to songs you love, leaving everyone's names visible in the "to" line so no one thinks he or she is being singled out. Or, if you're talking about a full, album-length mixtape — and, yes, people still make them, Spotify be damned — I recommend making a generalized mix of songs you like and openly circulating copies across your circle of friends. That way, signals aren't mixed, "Crush on You" is just one song among many, and everyone gets a nice, platonic valentine whether they asked for it or not.
Got a music-related question you want answered? Leave it in the comments, drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet @allsongs.

Is Sarcoidosis An Autoimmune Disease?
Is sarcoidosis an autoimmune disease?
This is an excellent question. By definition, the term "autoimmune" infers that the immune system has turned against us. For example, systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) or "lupus" is believed to be caused by immune reactions to various substances normally engaged in DNA replication when they are released from our own cells after they are damaged. These substances released from our own cells to cause an immune response are called "self antigens".
To date, no convincing evidence links a specific self antigen to sarcoidosis. Some experts believe sarcoidosis is not an autoimmune disease based on evidence linking exposure to certain environmental agents, including certain infections, with the disease.
However, the actual cause of sarcoidosis remains unclear. It is even possible that sarcoidosis may be caused by different mechanisms, which might explain why the disease is so different from one individual to the next.
There are currently a relatively small number of researchers investigating the cause of sarcoidosis. Obviously, more work needs to be done to determine the cause (or causes) of sarcoidosis such that more effective treatments can be offered.

I'm thinking the latter.
I hitting coach can go over film and mechanics with a hitter, but once he's in the box, that guy is on his own and he'd better know what to do.
Every situation calls for a specific fundamental approach.
-It begins with getting on base, and it doesn't matter how. Take the damn walk. And, this includes everybody, not just Jose Reyes, who fails to work the count. When they win and the offense clicks, David Wright likes to say, "we kept the line moving." Well …. ? Why don't they have that approach all the time. The Mets wasted way too many at-bats last year, and that starts with the approach by the hitter, who should have learned what to do in high school.
-Runner on second, no outs, hit the ball to the right side of the infield.
-Runner on third, less than two outs, hit a fly ball.
This isn't brain surgery, it's baseball.
Reyes need to bunt more, increase his walks and decrease his strikeouts. He needs to hit the ball on the ground. … Carlos Delgado must discover left field more than he does. … By his own admission, Wright must learn to relax and not try to do it all when runners are in scoring position.
Johnson is there to remind the players and work with them on mechanics, but it's up to the players to be thinking the right approach. Johnson can remind them, but it's up to Jerry Manuel from Day One in spring training to harp on them what to do.

"Okay, I've had an opinion change I'd like to announce. I'm betting that the future of mobility will be Linux, and not Symbian, Windows or anything else. This is quite a change from my previous pro-Symbian stances, but I've been sort of leaning this way for a while - or rather, leaning away from Symbian as it fails to live up to its potential - and now I've finally come to a religious change of faith when it comes to mobile OSes."

Unable to recognize USB devices [Solved]
Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2011 18:06
Hi, I've just installed Sabayon Linux on my notebook ASUS K53SC and it doesn't recognize USB devices ( Mouse, Pen Drives and so on). But if I connect my USB devices during the boot of the system, after that my mouse and my Pen Drive are recognized: however, in every instance, on my connected (but not recognized) mouse appear the red light of working, but the cursor doesn't move anymore, and if I try to write the command lsusb on a terminal there is NO answer, it holds steady and nothing appears.
Somebody can help me? Thanks.

Give: The Joan Rivers Memorial Fund
God's Love We Deliver is delighted to announce the establishment of the Joan Rivers Memorial Fund. The fund has been seeded with inaugural gifts from Michael Kors and John Demsey/The MAC AIDS Fund.
As you know, Joan was a huge supporter and gifts to this unrestricted fund will help ensure that we can always hold to our core principles: we will never have a waiting list and we will never charge a client for their meals.
For years, she supported the Race to Deliver, bringing her energy, voice and laughter to Central Park on those early November mornings to support our runners, teams and friends. Joan volunteered every Thanksgiving, bringing her daughter Melissa and her grandson Cooper with her. Each year, she delivered holiday meals to our clients, surprising them with jokes, bringing warmth and care and brightening the holiday for so many. In 2009, she won over $500,000 for God's Love in the NBC reality competition, Celebrity Apprentice.
Joan brought love, compassion and humor to every delivery she made and every event she supported. Joan's impact on God's Love will be felt always by our clients, volunteers, staff and supporters.
We are thrilled to announce that Melissa Rivers has joined our Board of Directors, continuing her mother's legacy and commitment to the clients she was so dedicated to serving.
We celebrate our many years with Joan, who will forever be in our hearts.

It is great finding fellow art teachers all in one spot. I have switched from teaching elem. to HS and have found many more blogs dedicated to the younger age level. Any specific recommendations for MS/HS art?
- January 7, 2011 at 3:42 PM

Thanks everyone for posting this to your blog! I can tell a lot more people have been visiting my blog and I hope they have found your blog as well. As for ms/hs art, this is a cool blog: http://www.dawnsbrain.com/ Although now it appears that she has taken a different position at a museum, but you can still look through her archives for other lessons.

- Marcia said...
Go back to this page. There is a little blue button at the bottom of the directory which says "add your link". You need to add your link to that. This button may not have been there, because the inlinkz tool has a time limit and I had to reset it. Thanks!

Oakland, March 25
Over 50 scientific societies representing hundreds of thousands of American scientists today publicly urged the Texas Board of Education to support accurate science education. The board—dominated by creationists—has been embroiled in a debate over changes to the Texas science standards that could compromise the teaching of evolution.
As the Texas state board of education prepares for its final vote on a new set of state science standards, no fewer than fifty-four scientific and educational societies are calling for the approval of the standards as originally submitted — without misleading language about "strengths and weaknesses" and without the flawed amendments undermining the teaching of evolution proposed at the board's January 2009 meeting.
NCSE Supporter Stephen G. Brush was selected by the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Physics to receive the 2009 Abraham Pais Prize for the History of Physics "for his pioneering, in-depth studies in the history of nineteenth and twentieth-century physics," according to a story in the spring 2009 History of Physics Newsletter.
New Mexico's Senate Bill 433 died in committee when the legislature adjourned sine die on March 21, 2009.
On March 23, 2009, the Supreme Court denied certiorari without comment to Caldwell v. Caldwell, which challenged the constitutionality of the
Understanding Evolution website — a joint project of the University of California Museum of Paleontology and the National Center for Science Education.

The Big Lebowski is my favorite comedy of all time. I've watched it an uncountable number of times and I'm still sent into hysterics by every plot twist and eccentric character. I can play back the entire movie in my head and I'll still laugh at every joke. But the truth is that I'm just one in a million.
When The Big Lebowski was first released back on this date in 1998 it was actually a total box office dud. Despite being the Coen brothers' follow up to the hit, Oscar winning Fargo, nobody really cared about the adventures of The Dude when the movie was in theaters. Since its release, however, the film has cultivated a cult following and is a bona fide phenomenon, spurring fans to actually create an annual festival.Books have been written about its philosophy. And yes, there's even a religion based on it called Dudeism.
If you haven't already done the math, today is the fifteenth anniversary of The Big Lebowski's release in theaters, and we couldn't let the day go by without doing a little bit of celebrating. We've searched around to collect our 15 favorite scenes from the legendary comedy, celebrating the greatest hits of The Dude, Walter, Donnie, Jesus, Bunny, Maude, Brent, Uli, Jackie and the rest of the amazing cast of characters. Read on below and head to the comments after to tell us your favorite Lebowski moments!
Opening Narration
As a part of the film noir tradition The Big Lebowski needed voice-over narration to guide the story, and if that has to happen why not get the best voice you possibly can? And not only do you have the greatness of Sam Elliot, you have the ominous date written on the check along with footage from the Gulf War. Spooky!

Pipe Guard is adjustable
OMG Roofing Products
OMG has introduced the Height Adjustable Strut Model PipeGuard for applications requiring support for multiple small pipes in one location. Diverse and flexible, it can be used for a wide range of small roof-top pipe applications, including gas and refrigeration lines, electrical and solar conduit as well as HVAC lines. The system is compatible with PVC, copper, cast iron and most other pipe materials, and is adjustable, with a wide base for stability. The heavy duty EPDM rubber base will not damage roofing covers and helps to dampen pipe motion due to vibration. Each unit will support up to 160 lbs.
Radiant Shield Pro Plus
Insulation Solutions
Radiant Shield Pro Plus, a reflective vapor barrier with 3M peel-and-stick adhesive, is the latest addition to Insulation Solutions, Inc. product line. An alternative to traditional vapor barrier materials, Pro Plus features a cross-woven UV-inhibitor coated skin that gives the building interior a bright white appearance. The closed-cell foam core will not pop, crush or lose air over time. Seams can be easily and effectively sealed with the built-in adhesive that helps maintain the integrity of the seam bond by resisting temperature swings.
Radiant Shield Pro Plus was tested for flame spread and smoke development according to ASTM E 84-09 and carries a Class A fire rating.
Angle grinder gets safety boost
Metabo Corporation's new 6-inch WB11-150 Quick Compact Class Angle Grinder offers advanced braking technology, making it one of the safest grinders available. When used in conjunction with grinding discs, the brake stops the tool within three seconds, and in less than 1.5 seconds with thin cutting discs.
The WB11-150 Quick features a secure "racket" grip and dual grip zones for comfort, ergonomic handling and additional user safety. The tool's anti-vibration handle absorbs up to 60 percent of the vibration, lowering the risk of white finger syndrome.
Power tool accessories
Bosch Power Tools
Bosch Power Tools and Accessories introduces a full range of accessory products specifically engineered for use with impact driving tools. The new Impact Tough family of accessories is built for electricians, HVAC contractors, remodelers and deck builders.
Accessories in the line include insert bits and power bits (Phillips, Square and Torx); nut setters (1/4- to 7/16-inch); sockets/socket adapters (5/16- to 15/16-inch socket outputs, 3/8- and 1/2-inch square drives.
Redesigned line splitter
DeWalt has launched Quadraport Regulated Line Splitter (D55040) for professional framers, roofers, trim carpenters and contractors who use an air compressor on the job site. The new model features innovations designed to solve common issues associated with line splitters, including pressure drops, inaccurate readings and durability problems. The D55040 features an impact-resistant resin body, liquid-filled gauge and robust handle to ensure that the product can withstand job site abuse. Handles and sidebars are positioned to protect the couplers and the plug for added resilience to high impact drops.
The product encourages splitting near the job site by using a 3/8-inch inlet fitting, and the gauge allows users to retrieve a PSI reading close to the tool. For added flexibility, the regulator permits two different pressures at the job site, and the Quadraport is factory assembled and tested to guarantee that there are no leaks or pressure drops.
The pressure's on now
New from Makita is high pressure pneumatics technology that increases air pressure created in the compresor and delivered to pneumatic nailers. A new 2.5 high pressure air compressor, 2-1/2-inch high pressure siding coil nailer and 3-1/2-inch framing coil nailer meet the demands for larger nails, higher capacity and versatility in range of materials, including the dense engineered lumber used in framing construction.
The AC310H air compressor has a 1.6 gallon tank but provides the capacity of a 5-gallon tank at 120PSI, with less noise and smaller size for easier transport.
AN610H siding coil nailer operates at 140-320 PSI and is 30 percent more compact than conventional nailers and weighs only 4.2 pounds while holding up to 400 nails. Its easy-load canister adjusts for various size nails.
Like the AN610H, the AN611H operates at high pressure but can drive larger nails into dense materials such as OSB, LVL and glulam. It holds 300 nails.
High-powered LED light tower
Larson Electronics
Larson Electronics' magnalight.com offers a 14,400 lumen LED light tower. Dual 90-watt LED light heads are affixed on a removable mount head, supported by an eigh-foot collapsible tripod. The 180-watt WALTP-2x90Y has area illumination equivalent to a 1000-watt metal halide light tower and can be configured to project 180 watts of bright, white light in a long, narrow spot or wide area flood mode. In flood mode, the wet area rated LED light covers as much area as a 1000-watt metal halide light. The dual 90-watt LED light head is removable from the collapsible eight- foot industrial grade aluminum tripod and can be collapsed into a three-foot, eight-pound package for portability.
The WALTP-2x90Y can be operated from standard US 110V power or 12/24 Volt DC power. Thus, the WALTP-2X90Y LED light tower can be operated from a standard US wall outlet or from a standard or military vehicle.
LED lamp ideal for inspections
Spectronics Corporation
Spectronics Corporation's powerful Spectroline TRITAN 365 is an ultra-high-intensity, multi-LED, broad-beam UV-A inspection lamp that features three ultra-hi-flux UV-A LEDs for NDT inspection, plus a white light LED to illuminate dark areas. It produces a nominal steady-state 365nm intensity of 5,500 µW/cm at a distance of 15 inches (38 cm). This versatile lamp meets MIL and ASTM intensity specs for FPI and MPI.
Compact and lightweight, it weighs 16 ounces and has a three-way rocker switch to allow easy control of the light sources and a lightweight, angled lamp body to ensure fatigue-free inspections.
Also available is the TRITAN 365M portable, battery-operated AC/DC lamp kit with rechargeable NiMH battery pack with adjustable shoulder strap and belt loop, AC cord set, smart AC charger and UV-absorbing glasses, in a padded carrying case.
Performance plus ergonomics
DeWalt launched its 12 Volt MAX Lithium Ion 1/4-inch Screwdriver Kit (DCF610S2) as part of the new 12 Volt MAX cordless platform. DeWalt says it is able to drive 207 2-1/2-inch cabinet screws on a single battery charge. Weighing only 2.2 pounds, it's compact and lightweight, built for less user fatigue and comfort in overhead applications. Additionally, the screwdriver's small size allows contractors to access tight areas easily.
The screwdriver also features a reversible belt clip for portability and a 12 Volt MAX Lithium Ion battery at the bottom of the handle aids balance. Three LED lights positioned around the hex of the screwdriver eliminate shadows and provide improved visibility in dark areas.
Available in the fourth quarter, it's expected to retail for about $139.

Megadeth Guitarist Finds a New Crunch With Eleven
Heavy metal rocker Dave Mustaine knows a thing or two about guitar sound—now he's using the Digidesign Eleven guitar amp plug-in to dial in killer tones.
Dave Mustaine knows a thing or two about guitar sound. As one of the founding fathers of thrash metal, Mustaine's years of crunching power chords with his band Megadeth have placed his signature licks front and center on some of the genre's most memorable and oft-covered recordings. Beginning with the band's 1984 debut, Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good, Megadeth has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and received seven Grammy® nominations, with six of their eleven studio albums charting gold or platinum in the U.S. and Canada.
Like most artists, Mustaine's Pro Tools®-based project studio in Southern California is his creative nexus; the place where he and the newly regrouped Megadeth nurtured the seeds of the band's latest release, United Abominations, and where Mustaine experiments with pushing the boundaries of the genre he helped create. Lately, he's been plugging in to more than just a stack of amps to find those new sounds, and is spending lots of time with Digidesign's acclaimed new guitar amp emulation plug-in, Eleven™.
Digidesign...going up to Eleven
"When I fired Eleven up for the first time, I sat down on the couch in the studio and just closed my eyes, and I really felt like I had an amp rig in front of me," Mustaine says. "It's not just the sound, because a lot of amp emulation programs can create a good distortion or overdrive or whatever. But Eleven goes even farther — it's the only emulation program I've tried that can actually get the sound of a speaker cone breakup, for example, and that does a lot for the whole realism factor."
No stranger to technology, Mustaine has tried almost every amp emulation hardware and software product available. "Some emulation programs do a few sounds really well," he says. "But Eleven is the first app I've used that sounds and reacts so realistically across such a wide range of sounds. It actually interacts with my guitar and with my playing style in the same way a real amp and cabinet does. That's something I've never experienced with any other program before."

It's all good. I was mostly worried that you might've been missing a huge chunk of the story.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Nope. I seen Zodd and that Skeleton knight guy. Which makes me really curious. He looks evil as hell but doesn't seem like a bad guy. I want to get to know him more. I am on Chapter 14 right now. I am enjoying it.
I just finished the two movies yesterday, looking forward to the next one.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
I never know where to continue from with the manga but since someone pointed it out on the other page, i think i might read it too.
Their going to make the whole series into movies so you don't have to worry it's confirmed. I wish they went hand drawn style instead of the CGI shit but hey.....moar berserk.

I guess that is a little reassuring but I guess I'll have to wait 10 years for the series to be complete lol. I feel bad for the guys who have been waiting 5+ years already.
Oh my goodness ..., this 3 movie series is amazing...( except for the CGI peeps)
I wouldnt mind watching it again in english since I orginally watched the anime series in english but I will collect the manga. Hopefully the movie will bring about more interest in this title that they will continue what they left off from the series.
I plan on collecting the Bluray of the movies .
I also actually ordered the figma figure of both Griffith and Guts.... yes I am going Berserk crazy
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
If they were to pick up from where they left off it would be way to late, I think that this will be some later arc in the future.
I'm hustling rice all over japan.
The movie is covering alot in 3 episodes the entire Golgen Age arc. I totally forgot what was in the anime series until I checked it out.
I really love Sakurai san as Griffith more than Morikawa san did in the series.
If the movies are doing well, I think everyone would want to see and pay for the other arcs animated. Its almost like Hunter x HUnter. Everybody were patiently wating for the Chimera Arc.
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
Originally when the 3 movies were announced a single source said that the follow up arcs WOULD be anime series. That was like 2 years ago and there has been no 2nd confirmation. Only a mention that the process would take 10 years. So who knows.
Motorboat no-jutsu!
Usually a preproduction would take about 2-3 years . In Japan , Goldec Arc I was released last February 2012, then II in June and then III this past February 2013 , so a 10 year process is not that way off.
So if the sales of these movies are doing well , then they would have the budget to continue.
This title is very well written and with Games of Thrones popularity can make this genre of anime be interesting for more adult audience.
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
I would love to see Berserk redone as a full anime... Was so disappointing where the original anime just cliff dived at such a pivotal point.
I do believe that after the success of the 3 movies, they will make another trilogy. As it was alluded to at the end of movie 3. I really, really, hope they do at least!!
For the movies to go past the series would be a perfect development in my opinion.
Although the movies dont have all the details they are still a great remake of the story.
I have even made a Trailer for Golden Age Arc (The trilogy). *SPOILER ALERT* if u havent seen the 3 movies.
It's just my own personal Fan-manifestation but i hope u like it :P
From me to you Furytime ;D
I do remember the news that they planned to translate all of the Manga into an epic 9 to 11 movie series.
The only problem for right now however, is how are they going to split the next 3 movies? They don't have an anime series to fallback on. The Anime itself was slightly different than the Manga, being far more focused on the "relationships and action" compared to the Manga, which was more "Fantasy and politics" which was an acceptable break.
Seriously now, one has to accommodate things like that.
The original Band of the Hawk arc was all a flashback too, and was it's own story within the story, in a this is the start of the story kind of way.
Which villain is going to make it in the movie? Do we want to have the Sexy Bee-girl and her endless Child-Bee-rapist-army? It has some amazing scenes that would really look nice on the big screen, but the Arc as a whole doesn't seem to go anywhere outside of setting up for the Farnese introduction. I would really like to see several epic scenes from that animated however.
OR they could go with the Count. His fight was rooted in the overall Berserk-story, and I'm still surprised at how it told you the end of the Band of the Hawk arc so frankly, Berserk was planned from the beginning, up to the Eclipse. He wanted Guts to be a badass, then he showed us how it became that. The count fight is also a good introduction to Puck, as well as setting him up for the Farnese encounter and reasons why the Holy Iron Knights would be after him. It also gives us time to have the follow up to the Eclipse AND show some epic action sequences. The movie could end as he's captured by the Iron Knights.
They could then open the Second/Fifth movie with his escape from the Iron Knights, Attempted-Horse-Rape Scene is not a must, just a bonus, but the naked riding of the Sword? Must. The movie would quickly move into the Conviction Arc, which the movie would speed by with some iffy pacing and some skimming of the side duels and fights. Skull Knight will be around surely but his influence will be lessened. That belit monster is gone. The movie will quickly turn into the Rebirth ceremony and of course the movie will have the fight between Holy-Priest-Hulk and Guts, yet will end with the Rebirth and Zodd to the rescue scene.
Our Sixth movie would totally involve Gut's return to the cave, much wandering, and the joining of our new members to the group. It will have the epic Zodd Vs Gut's duel in the valley of swords, and will probably involve gut's quest. Unfortuantly I don't have a good ending for this Arc, I would move it towards the next series of movies, but that would be silly as this is the best ending I could come up with, the start of Gut's next quest ends the second movie set as he focuses on Caska.
The following Movie Series will be far more difficult. You'll have to shove the trolls and Berserk Armor into one movie, and somewhere between them all have Griffith build his new band of the hawk on screen, altho in a more convincing way than the Manga's "everybody walks into an alley, teamwork" The whole stuck in a city Arc would be a nice pace of fun as well, I don't remember it's name but the invasion of demon-moustache's armies and Zodd+Guts teamup would make a great second movie. The 3rd would move into the Sea God arc of course, of which only JUST ended, DAMN IT MAN POST MORE MANGA!
That's all just my thoughts however. The 3rd movie series will easily be the most boring and likely to fail....but the most interesting and character-focused. The arcs after the Conviction set were light hearted, and focused on Gut's bonding with a group. Band of the Hawk skipped the banding of the group to an extent, they were important but they're not. The Gut's brigade are important, they need character development out the face, and have important Journey-type chapters and arcs to deal with this. They would be my most anticipated movies in the series, but the manga hasn't progressed past 9 movies.

"I've always written really well in places like that, where there's no pressure," she says. "This isn't your official writing time. You're in a place, and think, well, I'm stuck here anyway, so why not write."
Why not? Well, certainly, she has plenty of other things to do. She's married and has three children. She's a regular on the
Molly Ringwald: In the Aug. 11 Calendar section, the caption for a photo accompanying an article about Molly Ringwald said it showed the actress in a scene from the film "Sweet Sixteen." The film's title is
"When I was younger, I wanted to be a singer-actress-writer. Those three things. Obviously, the acting took off," she says dryly. We're sitting in a Brentwood cafe, the kind of place where the presence of the recognizable redhead is taken in stride. Ringwald, taller than you might expect, is slender and bubbly, excited to talk about books and writing. "I kept writing; I didn't know necessarily what I would do with it, but I just kept doing it."
Like many fictioneers, Ringwald's early work made it no farther than the nearest drawer. But after the success of 2010's "Getting the Pretty Back," a self-help memoir about turning 40 that made the L.A. Times bestseller list, she was emboldened. That book, she acknowledges, was written with her film fans in mind. "When It Happens to You" is heavier fare, an unexpected detour into literary fiction. It's a multivoiced look — connecting stories that take the form of a novel — into the private lives of women, framed around one year in a teetering marriage.
"I was really interested in writing about betrayal. Not just one betrayal, I wanted to write about all different kinds," she says. The characters, rendered in graceful sentences, breathe with life. They suffer a cheating spouse, mothers both frigid and over-protective, and the unwitting cruelty of a small child. Then there's the insouciantly selfish French boyfriend — fans of Ringwald may remember her first marriage was to a Frenchman.
"No matter what I write, people are always going to wonder, is this her life? Is this her? I can't control the way that people read my writing. I can only control what I write," says the 44-year-old actress. "I take from myself — I feel like I'm all of the characters and none of the characters. I'm like a magpie: I take from everywhere."
That doesn't just mean conversations with other mothers at the playground. Ringwald cites Joan Didion,
At 19, Ringwald was staying in the New York apartment of costume designer Colleen Atwood. "She always had great taste in books," Ringwald remembers. "One night she was out and I couldn't sleep, and there was [Carver's] 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.' I picked it up and I was just — just blown away. By him, by his style and by his writing. My family is from Northern California, and I recognized the voices. It sounded familiar to me, somehow."
The daughter of a jazz pianist, Molly began performing as a child, recording the record "I Wanna Be Loved by You — Molly Sings" with her father's band at age 6. She became a cast member on the television show "The Facts of Life" as a pre-teen, but became a star in the trilogy of
Through it all, she read like an English major. Instead of attending college, she moved to
"I died when I saw that. I died," she says. The only time the warm and open Ringwald's aspect changes is when the words "Brat Pack" are uttered. It's like an invisible shield shutters into place. "You spend your whole life —" she stops for a moment, and the shield lifts. "People have other problems that are much more important than whether or not I'm called a member of the Brat Pack," she says.
"I have very little interest in those movies. I would say, almost zero interest," she said earlier. "I also completely respect how much they mean to other people. A lot of people have their memories kind of wrapped up in me." That goes for people not just of her generation. Thanks to the Internet, another generation has seen her as, Time magazine wrote, America's favorite teenager. "You'd think in one way that you want to stay 16 forever — but you don't really. Would you want to be identified for what you did when you were 16 years old?"
In the last 15 years, Ringwald has appeared on various TV shows, in film and on the stage. She made her Broadway debut in "Cabaret," has performed in London and New York, and starred in "Sweet Charity" at the Pantages in 2006.
The fact is, Ringwald is looking forward, not back. In conversation, she often jumps ahead, leaving sentences unfinished and moving on to develop her thought. She wrote the stories of "When It Happens to You," in sequential order, and always kept the next story in mind while writing. Now, she's got the seed of an idea for her next book, maybe a novel. "It's like a little grain that's going to turn into a pearl in my head," she says. "It's going to get bigger and bigger and eventually it's going to be too big to hold there, and I'm going to have to write it down."
But first, she's got the idea to adapt "When It Happens to You" for the screen. "It's something I'm very interested in doing," she says. She also plans to star and direct.
Why not?

New research shows that the jaguar is in trouble in two-thirds of its historic range. Part of the problem is that jaguars live in 18 countries and there is no coordinated plan for conserving them -- such wide-ranging species need conservation plans that transcend political boundaries.
"Biological conservation plans often respect political boundaries more than ecological ones," say Eric Sanderson of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Bronx, New York, and six co-authors in the February issue of Conservation Biology.
Jaguars once ranged from the southwestern U.S to northern Argentina. Threats to the big cats include poaching, habitat loss and competition with people for peccaries, tapirs and other prey.
Another threat to jaguars is that there is no consensus for how to conserve them. "Most countries do not have endangered species legislation of any kind, and if they do, laws are unlikely to be consistent across the 18 nations where the jaguar is currently found," say Sanderson and his colleagues.
To help shift the focus from politics to ecology, 35 jaguar experts from 12 countries were brought together by the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Institute of Ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The experts conducted a range-wide assessment of the jaguar's long-term survival prospects, and set priorities for jaguar conservation areas. They accounted for factors including the areas' sizes and connectivity, and the extent of hunting of both jaguars and their prey.
The bad news is that the jaguar has lost more than half of its range since 1900, mostly in the southern U.S., northern Mexico, northern Brazil and southern Argentina. The good news is that the jaguar is likely to survive over the long-term in 70% of its current known range. The big cats are doing best in the middle of their range, in and around the Amazon Basin.
But that's not enough. Conserving wide-ranging species means protecting them in a wide variety of habitats. "Presumably, the ecology of jaguars in tropical moist lowland forest is significantly different from that in xeric deserts because of differences in, for example, prey base," say Sanderson and his colleagues.
The experts identified and prioritized 51 jaguar conservation areas in 16 countries that are important to the species' long-term survival. These areas represent 30 of the 36 regions where jaguars live.
"The goal is not to determine the most important site for jaguar conservation overall, or the most important site in a given country, but rather to find the most important sites for ecologically distinct populations of jaguars," say Sanderson and his colleagues. "If we are to retain broadly-distributed species into the next century, we need to plan explicitly for their survival across their entire geographic range."
Funded by a $1 million grant from Jaguar Cars, North America, the Wildlife Conservation Society has created a range-wide conservation program for jaguars.
Sanderson's co-authors are: Kent Redford, Cheryl-Lesley Chetkiewicz, Alan Rabinowitz, John Robinson and Andrew Taber, all of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Bronx, New York; and Rodrigo Medellin of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City.
