When Edna Foa first heard about the AMHI, she recalls, "My first reaction was, 'Wowthis would be of great help to a lot of people.'"
"The goal of bringing together a broad range of real expertise in the most important mental-health topics relating to adolescence was unprecedented," says Dr. B. Timothy Walsh, the professor of pediatric psychopharmacology in psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and a former president of the Academy for Eating Disorders who headed the AMHI's commission on eating disorders. "It really served a very important goal of summarizing both the information available and, as importantly, of underlining the need for new information."
Kathleen had agreed to direct the programming, and while she freely admits to having no expertise in the area beyond being Patrick's concerned and plugged-in mother, once she had Seligman and Evans on board, they were quickly able to recruit the other commission chairs. Three were from Penn: Raquel Gur, Edna Foa, and Charles O'Brien. When Jamieson approached Dr. Thomas Wadden, professor of psychology at Penn and director of its Weight and Eating Disorders Program, to head the commission on eating disorders, he recommended Timothy Walsh, who quickly signed on. Chairing the commission on adolescent suicide prevention was Dr. Herbert Hendin, professor of psychiatry at New York Medical College and director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Walsh, a Princeton alumnus who was "very impressed by the Penn folks" involved, says that the "leadership of Kathleen Hall Jamieson, along with the excellence of Penn's mental-health departments, makes Penn a very logical place" for the initiative to be based.
For Jamieson, the "unsung genius of the process" was Joan Bossert. "She is just a superb editor, and she really cares about this," Jamieson adds. "By the time we had these commissions created, we had a partnership with Seligman, Evans, and Bossert."
"I was instantly taken with the project," says Bossert. "I thought it was brilliant. People were applying adult and child [mental-illness] literature to adolescents and thought it would work. It doesn't."
Using another Oxford reference work as a templateA Guide to Treatments That Work, by Peter Nathan and Jack Gormanmost of the AMHI commissions divided their work into four chapters: Defining, Treatment, Prevention, and a Research Agenda. One was significantly different: Seligman's commission on positive youth development, whose section is titled "Beyond Disorder" (see sidebar on p. 41).
In January 2004, after the seven commissions (each composed of roughly 15 scholars) had their organizational meetings to determine how to approach their sections, they attended a three-day conference at the Annenbergs' Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, California. "It was a pretty free-wheeling set of debates, an attempt to give everybody a chance to challenge everything in the book," says Jamieson. "I thought the process was fantastic. If you've got that level of expertise locked in one hotel, you're not going to give up the possibility of saying, 'Are there other things?'"
Some 32,000 copies of Treating and Preventing, along with the parents' and teen books, were sent to mental-health professionals, librarians, and others. More than a few of those professionals wrote back.
A social worker in upstate New York called Treating and Preventing a "great overview of the field," adding that the parents' books about the disorders were most helpful in "updating current research and treatment modalities." A school psychologist who had read Mind Race and was now reading If Your Adolescent Has Schizophrenia wrote: "I cannot tell you how helpful these books are. I just recently had to evaluate a 17-year-old male who is an emerging schizophrenic. I think I did a MUCH better job and was able to be far more understanding thanks to your books."
"Please, please, please forward my heartfelt thanks on to the person who decided to write a book about adolescent schizophrenia," wrote a librarian in Missouri whose son had been diagnosed with the disorder two years before at age 20. "When he came home and told me the diagnosis, we were both terrified. Being a librarian, the only thing I could think of to do was to read up on the disease. I've always felt that knowledge is the best defense against fear … I was appalled at how little print information is available to the general public about schizophrenia."
Several people wrote in praising Mind Race, including a school psychologist who said it was "instrumental in placing a young girl in therapy," and another who said it helped her understand bipolar disorder "better than anything I've read before on the subject."
There is a "hope and a possibility" that by 2010 the online version of Treating and Preventing will be updated regularly, says Kathleen Jamieson. In the meantime, the printed version is still the definitive word.
"My personal hope is that parents who come to a doctor someplace that doesn't have the advantage of being tied to a research hospital, with a child who is frighteningly troubled, [that doctor] may now increasingly have the chance to say, 'This may be what it is. If I don't know how to deal with it, I know how to get you a referral to get help for your child.'"
It wasn't smooth sailing for the Jamiesons, even when Patrick was in the relatively good hands of Penn's Health System. Though he had been taking his lithium with "almost religious fervor," he suffered a serious manic episode that led him, late one night, to the hospital emergency room, then to the "unlock unit" of the psychiatric wardwhere, after being observed by the staff "talking back to the overhead pager" and "somewhat violently" throwing his clothing on the floor, he was "transferred to the locked unit 'upstairs' for potentially dangerous behavior as well as possible elopement risk." (Elope, in psych-ward jargon, means "escape," another example of why, in Jamieson's wry view, a lot of mental-health providers suffer from an ailment he terms compulsive euphemization.)
"My mother found out that I had been transferred when she showed up for visiting hours the next afternoon and instead of locating me on the open ward was directed to the locked ward," he writes. "Drugged into a deep sleep, I didn't know she was there."
A parent can only wince in empathy on reading the hospital's notes on the Jamiesons' reaction, which appear in the book: Mother and father [express] discomfort with son being on a locked ward with "bizarre people" … Parents express anger, frustration and feelings of abandonment by medical staff/system.
Ultimately, Patrick was hospitalized six times, but he has learned how to control his disorder with lithium and other medication, and doesn't expect to be hospitalized again. Though writing about that time in Mind Race can't have been easy, his sense of humor emerges even when he's explaining why he was hospitalizedand why patients aren't always the best judges of their own condition.
"Once when hospitalized, I informed a doctor that I thought I was ready to go home. Deadpan, she responded, 'Perhaps we should wait for a day in which you did not take a shower with your clothes on.'"
Despite his frustration with life in the locked ward, Jamieson did come to appreciate how lucky he really was.
"I had the 'choice' of getting even sicker or checking into the hospital and getting better," he writes. "I was very fortunate to have this option, and like many other patients my condition improved during each hospitalization. Though I am thankful for the opportunity to heal, after being discharged six times, I vowed that I would do everything I could to ensure that I would not need to be readmitted. Ever."
Patrick Jamieson's significant role in the AMHI will almost certainly ensure that a lot of people get helped. It is also one from which heand everybody else involvedcan derive a good deal of satisfaction.
"I'm very proud of this project," says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, "and proud in a way that I'm not proud of other projects, because this is in some ways for me a Penn project. A lot of what we do in the policy center makes no use whatsoever of the rest of the Penn community, and as a result, I could have done it anywhere. I couldn't have produced thiseven if I had the money from the foundation and the support of Mrs. Annenbergif I'd been in Texas [the site of her previous academic home]. I couldn't have done it at the University of Maryland [her first academic appointment]. I look at this book and think, 'I'm lucky to be at Penn.'"

Wednesday, 9.16.09, my sweet angel-of-a-niece, Annie Hope was born. I've never been much of one for stealing things, but it took everything within me not to take her with me when I left the hospital. She really is a beautiful little girl.
My sweet sister was a total champion while she went through the almost 19-hour labor process - even though after almost and hour and a half of hard pushing - she ended up having a C-section. At 7:54pm Annie made her appearance. It was so precious and sweet.
Annie is so perfect in every way and so already adores her aunt Amanda. I was amazed how she looked at me when she was just about 15 minutes old - it is like she knew that I loved her. I am sure that she has heard her mother tell her about how crazy I am about her.
She weighed 8 lbs and 2 oz and 20.75 inches long. She has a head full of black hair - just like my sister did when she was born. I wish I had a newborn picture of my sister to post - I must scan one soon.
I am so thankful that both my sister and Annie are perfectly healthy and got to leave the hospital this afternoon. I cannot wait for a sleep over!
Annie - I love you to pieces - and you are welcome at my home anytime. I promise to be the best aunt. ever.

Garlic-Parmesan Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes! Get your pots and pans out because this right here is the ultimate mashed potatoes you've ever eaten in your life.
Personally, I never get tired of mashed potatoes. You will usually find me in the kitchen with my face in the pot, impatient to wait for anyone else to come to the dinner table, spooning as many spoonfuls as I can before some takes it from me. Yes. I am that person. Shamelessly.
However. Since my new found love affair began a few months ago with browned butter (Browned Butter Honey Garlic Salmon, Browned Butter Skillet Cookies, Browned Butter Dutch Pancakes), I was looking at my beloved potatoes thinking WAAAAIT A SECOND! Why don't I put browned butter in mashed potatoes? What haven't I EVER done that?
And with crispy garlic pieces? Someone…hold me.
Turns out though, I'm not the genius I thought I was, because hello, browned butter mashed potatoes everywhere….BUT! Putting garlic and parmesan cheese into them is a law in the house. So, I accidentally on purpose started browning butter only for my kitchen to be filled with the most beautiful buttery smells, only then to add the garlic into said butter…and all the boys came to my yard.
Okay. Well, a small sized boy came into my kitchen.
Pretty sure all of the neighbours could smell the crispy fried garlic smells wafting out through the windows… Sorry neighbours. I don't share mashed potatoes.
My joy pouring the butter into the potatoes was probably a little over exaggerated. But, can you blame me?
Beat with a hand beater/mixer, and if you don't already do this…then do it. Rest your arms. It will change your life.
Pour over some more golden butter over the top, with more parmesan cheese, parsley, and those crispy garlic pieces.
Mix it all through and get ready for your mind to be blown.

- 10 large potatoes of choice (1.4kg | 3lbs) (Chat Washed, Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes), peeled
- 3/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup milk (more if needed)
Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. Cover with water in a large saucepan/pot, add a good amount of salt and bring to the boil for 20 minutes or until soft and tender but not falling apart.
Halfway through cooking time, heat butter in a small pan over medium-heat. When butter begins to foam, add the crushed garlic, lower heat to medium and stir continuously until it begins to change colour and turn brown (it's normal to see crispy little brown bits at the bottom of the pan). Remove immediately from heat.
Drain potatoes, transfer them back into the pan/pot. Strain the butter through a sieve straight into the potatoes (reserve the crispy garlic pieces to serve later), and add the cheese and milk. Beat with a hand beater until smooth and creamy (it takes about 1-2 minutes) -- or use a potato masher. Add a small amount of milk if you like a thinner mashed potato consistency. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Serve with more parmesan, chopped parsley and the crispy pieces of garlic.
*If using a hand beater, it's important not to over beat them, as they can turn gooey.

South Chicago Beaches
Aerial View of Chicago Lakefront Illinois
12th Street Beach - Sometimes called the 14th Street Beach, it is just south of the Adler Planetarium, and has restrooms and a concession stand. 12th Street Beach is also popular for open water swimming.
31st Street Beach - Located in Burnham Park. Every Year the 31st Street Beach hosts the Junior Lifeguard Chicago Area Tug-o-War. This beach is clean, rarely crowded, and great for picnics, families and enjoying a fabulous view of Chicago.
57th Street Beach - Located in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood, the beach sits across the street from the Museum of Science and Industry. The beach provides an area for deep swimming. The bathrooms are clean, they have plenty of showers and the crowds are minimal. This stop is a must on the ride along Lake Shore Drive.
63rd Street Beach - Located in Jackson Park, it is home to the oldest beach house in the city. The beach used to be called Jackson Park Beach until 1914 when it was extended 10 acres to 63rd Street, thus changing its name. In 1919, the 63rd Street Pavilion was completed, and historically provided showers, medical rooms, and bathrooms. It was renovated in 2000, and is now used primarily by boaters, beach goers, and for special events.
Chicago Lakefront Skyline
South Shore Beach - It is located directly behind the South Shore Cultural Center (formerly the South Shore Country Club). The Country Club is a beautiful old building that houses a ballroom, restaurant, golf course, and tennis courts.
Rainbow Beach - Beginning with the 1919 Race Riot, Chicago suffered a history of race related disturbances regarding the use of public resources such as parks and beaches. Rainbow Beach was an area of controversy for black and white youth. Demographic shifts and racial climate changes of the 1960s led to a July 7 and 8, 1961 "freedom wade-in" at Rainbow Beach staged by an interracial coalition of demonstrators, including members of the NAACP Youth Council.

Speech Title: Applied Linear Algebra Methods for Big Data Mining
Abstract: One of challenges in the big data era is how to best summarize, display, and analyze the big data efficiently. Data representation refers to the choice of a mathematical structure with which to model the data. In the big data context, a key goal in data representation is that of reducing computation. In addition to reducing computation time, proper data representations can also reduce the amount of required storage. Dimensionality reduction refers to a broad class of methods that re-express the data, in terms of a small number of actual data points. In this talk, we will discuss some efficient algorithms for big data Mining based on applied linear algebra. Possible applications include PageRank, Spectral Clustering, Optimization, and Principal Component Analysis.

Speech Title: Reducing Lower-Back Injuries with a Privacy-Aware Compliance Tracking System
Abstract: Lost productivity from lower back
injuries in workplaces costs over $100 billion per year in the United States
alone. A main cause for such workplace injuries is that workers often do not
follow best practices. In this talk, Dr. Zhao will present the design,
implementation, and evaluation of a novel computer-vision-based system that aims
to increase the workers' compliance to best practices in using proper body
mechanics. The system consists of inexpensive programmable depth sensors,
smartwatches, and smartphones. The system is designed to track the activities of
consented workers using the depth sensors, alert them discreetly on detection of
noncompliant activities, and produce cumulative reports on their performance.
The initial evaluation of the system at a nursing home exposed a number of
issues with the system design, especially on the usability of the system. This
talk will also present a new user authentication mechanism that can register a
consented user automatically, thereby eliminating the interruption of the user's
work flow, and drastically improving the system usability.
Assoc. Prof. Chen-Huei Chou
College of Charleston, USA
Chen-Huei Chou received the B.S. in Information and Computer Engineering from Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan, the M.S. in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, the M.B.A. from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA, and the Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. He is an Associate Professor of Information Management and Decision Sciences in the School of Business at the College of Charleston, SC, U.S.A. His research has been published in MIS journals and major conference proceedings, including MIS Quarterly, Journal of Association for Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Computers in Human Behavior, Internet Research, and Journal of Information Systems and e-Business Management. His areas of interests include web design issues in disaster management, ontology development, Internet abuse in the workplace, text mining, data mining, knowledge management, and behavioral studies related to the use of IT.
Speech Title: Artificial Intelligence on Internet Abuse Detection"
Abstract: As the use of the
Internet in organizations continues to grow, so does
Internet abuse in the workplace. Internet abuse activities
by employees—such as online chatting, gaming, investing,
shopping, illegal downloading, pornography, and cybersex—and
online crimes are inflicting severe costs to organizations
in terms of productivity losses, resource wasting, security
risks, and legal liabilities. Organizations have started to
fight back via Internet usage policies, management training,
and monitoring. Internet filtering software products are
finding an increasing number of adoptions in organizations.
These products mainly rely on blacklists, whitelists, and
keyword/profile matching. In this talk, I would like to
share an artificial intelligence approach to Internet abuse
detection. I have empirically compared a variety of term
weighting, feature selection, and classification techniques
for Internet abuse detection in the workplace of software
programmers. The experimental results are very promising;
they demonstrate that the text mining approach would
effectively complement the existing Internet filtering
techniques. In this speech, I would like to share my
knowledge and experience in conducting text mining approach
for detecting Internet abuse in the workplace.

Maritime Supports New and Improved Boating Facilities
6 December 2011
NSW Roads and Ports Minister Duncan Gay has announced Roads and Maritime Services has approved more than $4.5 million in grants to provide new and improved boating facilities across NSW.
The $4.53 million in funding under the Roads and Maritime Services Better Boating Program (BBP) will support 52 projects in regional NSW and four boat ramp developments in Sydney Harbour.
"By supporting new and improved boating facilities, Roads and Maritime Services is putting customers first in our boating communities statewide," Mr Gay said.
"It is estimated that more than 1.5 million people go boating in NSW each year and making access to our waterways safer and more convenient is good news for the community, he said.
"This grant funding recognises the important role boating has to play in our communities and the economy."
Mr Gay said a highlight of the 2011-12 grants program was $800,000 for a major upgrade of the Lyne Park boating facility.
"Lyne Park in Rose Bay provides a unique opportunity to improve access to the heart of the finest Harbour in the world," he said.
"This grant combines with a $350,000 grant last year to provide more than a million dollars for the project to support the boating community of Sydney."
The Lyne Park project would see the replacement and widening of the existing boat ramp and the installation of two pontoon facilities to vastly improve safe and convenient access.
The 2011-12 BBP will support 52 projects in regional NSW and four boat ramp projects in Sydney Harbour.
"These grants are about planning for the future and making sure the community has safe access to facilities which help them get out and about on our waterways," Mr Gay said.
More details on the grants program is available at:

Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn has announced changes that mean all Irish citizens will be treated equally when it comes to paying college fees.
Students from migrant backgrounds who became Irish citizens during their course of study were, until now, forced to continue to pay fees of up to €11,000 per year.
This week the Cabinet approved a measure to reverse this.
However, hundreds of students from migrant backgrounds will still be obliged to pay huge fees, even though they have grown up in Ireland and are in the process of acquiring citizenship.
These students are often charged between €6,000 and €11,000 per year and they are not entitled to apply for grant assistance.
The Migrant Rights Centre Ireland has welcomed the initiative.
However, it says years of residency also need to be taken into account when it comes to deciding a young person's third level entitlements.
Young migrants are only allowed to begin the process of acquiring citizenship when they turn 16.
The process takes several years and many are barred from attending college in the meantime due to the high level of fees they are required to pay.

This week was full of adventures!
We had Missionary Leadership Training and it was great! It's always a great learning experience. We mainly just discussed a world wide Christmas initiative the church is having and we are playing a huge part in it. I am SO excited!!! I'll tell you more about it once it launches! But I'll tell you this... it's going to be AMAZING!!!!!!!
We also helped out with the relief society's super Saturday! A Saturday filled with crafts and good food! Want to know the best part? Kate Gross (our recent convert) organized the whole thing. Her calling isn't even in relief society hahaha i love her to death. She is just amazing. Pictures will follow of her fabulous work! It was 70's themed! CUTE!! haha it was a blast.
I think my favorite part of the week though was our lesson with Ken and Kathy. Do you remember the couple I told you about last week? We found them through family history. WELL, they are the BEST!! We taught the restoration and they loved it! Kathy even read the whole intro to the book of mormon before we got there! YAY! Then.. here comes the best part.. we asked when we could see them next and they said "well what are you doing tonight? want o have dinner with us?" UM.... YES!!! It was so tasty!!! First time I've ever had dinner with investigators! It was so great!! She even baked us cookies and let us take them all home. and if that wasn't good enough, they are taking us out for lunch before our lesson next week hahah I LOVE THEM!!!! They accepted the baptismal invite so we are very excited.
I still keep in touch with the Klassens. They were a family we taught a while ago who were going to be baptized then backed out and dodged us for months. I wont give up on them. I can't. I remember the first time they all came to church and sister Brimhall, Smith and I just jumped on each other in the breezeway. They have been a part of my favorite memories on my mission. I can't let their story just crash like this. It's very hard and sad to see them get so cold but I have hope. I saw the light in them before. It can happen again. I know it.
Missions are hard. It is the hardest thing I've ever done. But so rewarding. I have never felt so full of light and joy. Every challenge we face is just an opportunity to be strengthened and to grow. I am so thankful for the privilege of being here. I love you all!
Sister Heinzlmeir

A good image is essential for recognizing address and barcode information. We therefore scan the front side of letters and, if required, the rear side. With parcels we scan the top side or – using a six-side scan – the entire parcel surface, including the barcode. Specialized high-speed scanners are used to capture images. They are able to perfectly capture color and grayscale images of mail, even at letter speeds of over 4 meters per second. The scanners are equipped with long-life LED illumination for high image quality during their entire service life. Special optical filters reduce reflections of glossy areas, such as windows in envelopes, to ensure high read rates in the recognition and reading process.
As for parcels, our fully integrated system offers a solution for collecting barcode, weight and dimension data.
Our Fingerprint technology makes use of the fact that no two mail pieces or parcels look exactly alike. Optical characteristics such as surfaces, stamps and logos are recorded – along with size, volume and weight data. The image-based identification technology thus recognizes a mail piece or parcel throughout the entire process chain. This means the image can be used for in-hub tracking and cross-border tracking – and even third-party tracking for parcels.
If you want to pick a parcel from a truck for delivery, it is easier to find it when you know what it looks like. Since the images already exist, they can also be used by delivery personnel via their mobile devices. The imaging technology supports 2D code reading and provides you with new options for delivery confirmation.
Mail piece images that cannot be resolved by the automatic reading function are manually coded by video coding operators. Video coding can be performed online when the mail piece is processed in the sorting machine, or offline, when, for example, the mail piece is transported to the subsequent sorting center. The video coding devices are grouped in a common video coding pool. We offer a web application for video coding that runs on standard computers and supports a host of video coding modes.
Take advantage of reduced installation, maintenance and training costs with our web-based Flex Coding. This flexible approach to video coding does not follow hierarchical coding rules, making it possible to enter the data in any order.
ARTread recognizes all postal-relevant objects such as address data, linear and 2D barcodes, logos and symbols. The major advantage of this solution is that it offers outstanding reading performance for all kinds of mail items. The software can also be tailored to individual needs with regard to recognition tasks, read performance and additional services.
The Open Reading Coding Architecture (ORCA) is a modular system platform for all reading, video coding and image management applications with grayscale and color image processing. It is highly scalable, covering reading and coding solutions for individual sorting machines all the way to countrywide solutions for networked centers.
Reading performance is highly dependent on the quality of the address directory. We therefore recommend the use of Learning Directory. This system "learns" typical spelling errors and updates addresses. It can also identify new address elements frequently occurring on mail – including acceptable writing variations of existing data entries or even new address elements.
We offer automatic forwarding solutions based on ARTread recognition technology for letters and flats. The relevant mail is automatically identified and intercepted before leaving the outward mail center. The new address stored in the system is printed onto the mail piece, which is then forwarded directly to the new address. The system saves time and money by avoiding detours, delivery and transport costs – and it improves service quality.
To protect your revenue, we have created a concept that recognizes fraudulent mail items during the sorting process. In addition, it also collects legally admissible evidence to prove payment claims. ARTread recognition technology offers everything you need for uninterrupted monitoring. Systematic verification is particularly important in the case of digital postmarks, since they cannot be verified by the mail carrier.
With ARTread in place, you can interactively train the reading of various layouts of labels, even from different service providers or cross-border services, for seamless processing.

Pray About Everything: Cultivating God-Dependency by Paul Tautges is a small but powerhouse book – almost a workbook or leader's guide towards leading your congregation or small group in prayer.
Tautges begins by explaining that this book is primarily about congregational prayer within the local church, though all Christians can use what he teaches (10).
He goes on to explain that the early church did gather regularly for congregational or corporate prayer. Then, he shows that this is not only what they did, but it is the will of God for all Christians. Texts and exegesis uphold these pillars of the book (16-37).
The second part of the book contains what he calls "brief meditations for prayer meetings." Though one might argue the meaning of "brief" for a couple of them, he gives examples of how one might lead a prayer meeting "in Jesus' Name," in praying for unbelievers, for the government, with a forgiving heart, for the elders, as husbands, and through the Holy Spirit (38-93).
Tautges saturates each of these meditations with Scripture and shows how to pray Scripture back to God in our particular contexts. I have found this to be a helpful practice in my life. If we are praying for what God wants – what God has commanded in His Word, He will most assuredly do it.
In the seven appendices, Tautges explores example of prayer events, types of prayer services, praying I regards to evangelism, how to pray the Scripture, ways to put together other prayer meetings, including a Bible study on God and prayer, and a plea to pastors to leave time and have prayer meetings (95-112).
Certainly, in the Northeast, where I am, prayer meetings have gone the way of the evening service, much to our detriment. It should be enough for Christians to know that God wants us to pray and to pray together, but it is not. Other things have taken the place of time with God. Some might call this idolatry.
Tautges is right. His presentation and process are Scriptural. He book leads us to go forth and pray.
May God bless his efforts and help us, fellow servants, to join in prayer to the glory of God and for our joy.

"Go through the lights, take the third reich"
I've been busy and Madonna of the Toast has not been a priority of late, but work and deadlines be damned in the name of some Hitler pareidolia! The internet has been aflutter with re-posts, re-Tweets and Facebook likes responding to Charli Dickenson's Twitter pic of this home in Swansea, Wales. Stuck in traffic, she decided the slanted roofline bears an uncanny resemblance to Hitler. As we all know, all it takes is one random associative leap of faith, or fuhrer, and the whole world tunes in, especially when it comes to one of history's greatest villains.
If the roof is the hairline, I guess the lintel is the mustache and the second floor windows the eyes. Hitler is deserving of many labels, but fat is not one of them, so I find the ground level windows to be distracting, as he never had jowls as far as I know. Admittedly, I am not a Hitler buff so maybe I'm wrong about this.
Poking around the various media outlets that have picked up this story, everyone seems to be taking it all in stride, with most reactions keeping it classy with clever wordplay and puns, like this WalesOnline report from which I borrowed the title of this post: "Various sites across the world are adding their own comments including one which offers these directions to the house: 'Go through the lights, take the third reich and you'll find it on your extreme right.'"
Of course, Hitler's face is one of the most salient and disturbing icons of the twentieth century. A story like this reminds us of that, but plenty of ink has been dedicated to examining Hitler's legacy, and all of that ink has resulted in a whole realm of publishing, filmmaking and art that makes money off of this image, such is the power of an icon.
My buddy Noma Bar has just created new covers for Picador editions of Don Delillo novels, including Running Dog. This is a riff on a previous illustration Bar did for an Esquire UK article about the demand for books about Hitler.
For all you diehard fans, you'll remember that this is not the first instance of dictator pareidolia. Who can forget Lenin in the shower curtain?!?

Banksy Didn't Win, Maybe I Will
For those of you who keep up with Hollywood's awards season you know that Banksy's documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop was nominated for an Oscar. It didn't win the Oscar, though it did win an Independent Spirit Award. The iconoclast street artist made a brilliant film that skewers the consumer culture that has made him a star. Because I've worked on numerous graffiti and street art books, I was lucky enough to attend an exclusive screening of the film. It floored me, and prompted me to write Chasing the Whale: Banksy, Obsession, and the Sea for The Millions.
Now I'm trying to drum up votes for the piece to make it to the next round of the 3 Quarks Daily Prize in Arts and Literature. Actual judges will decide the winners and award cash prizes, but for them to even consider this essay I need enough votes to get it in front of their eyes.
Here's the essay's opening to whet your appetite:
There is nothing positive about the dictionary definition of "obsession" – it haunts, is abnormal and persistent, like a bad rash. Tossing the word into a conversation typically indicates some form of criticism about a person and that person's particular pursuit. Obsessions can lead to stalkers, delusion and great creations (the last two are not mutually exclusive); they can limit and restrict you to minutia or endow a unique vision that changes how you and others view the world at large. People indulge obsession in different ways – live it like a lifestyle or stir it into a creation like a minor but crucial recipe ingredient where it doesn't overpower anything and complements everything.
Go ahead and read the whole thing, or don't, but vote for #50 either way!

Court Rules in Favor of Anonymous Blogger
In a decision hailed by free-speech advocates, the Delaware Supreme Court on Wednesday reversed a lower court decision requiring an Internet service provider to disclose the identity of an anonymous blogger who targeted a local elected official.
In a 34-page opinion, the justices said a Superior Court judge should have required Smyrna town councilman Patrick Cahill to make a stronger case that he and his wife, Julia, had been defamed before ordering Comcast Cable Communications to disclose the identities of four anonymous posters to a blog site operated by Independent Newspapers Inc., publisher of the Delaware State News.

Solve the data storage conundrum with compliant, secure and scalable cloud storage.
The Bunker's Object Storage is a cost-effective and highly secure alternative to Public Cloud storage that guarantees data sovereignty. It allows data to be managed as objects in a single storage pool where every object exists at the same level. Since it's not dependent on a centralised server, Object Storage overcomes the challenges of conventional block-based storage and is ideal for Cloud and distributed computing systems.
Our technology partner Cleversafe takes the advantages of object storage even further. The technology is able to 'slice and dice' data, running it concurrently in multiple data centre locations to provide up to 'ten nines' of availability. This self-healing technology offers unprecedented flexibility, infinite capacity and limitless scalability – slashing costs by reducing the need for duplication, and freeing you from the straitjacket that traditional data storage has become.
Data is one of the most important – if not the most important asset – of any organisation. It's essential to know where your data is being stored, that it's secure, and that it's being stored in accordance with data protection laws. The Bunker gives you this certainty:
- Two UK-based data centres wholly owned and managed by The Bunker
- Near limitless scalability – manage big data at petabyte levels (1,000,000 gigabytes) and beyond
- Competitively priced consumption-based storage
- We're ISO 27001 accredited, PCI DSS certified, and all of our processes are Security Council controlled
We also support a wide range of versions of servers, applications, hypervisors and databases, including: NAS, SAN, Windows, Linux, MAC, Oracle, Exchange, VMware and Hyper-V.
The true value of a backup is only proven when it's restored. With The Bunker you can be sure that should the worst happen, you have the best solution in place – and with the full support of our skilled experts who have experience of thousands of successful recoveries.
The costs associated with storing vast amounts of data are one of the largest budget line items for IT departments. By moving data that is accessed rarely onto a more cost effective archive storage environment, you can make substantial savings by freeing space on expensive near line storage platforms and reducing the requirement for capital expenditure.
Data Analysis
The Bunker uses data analysis to drive down the costs associated with data storage. Our Data Analysis and Reporting Service provides you with clear visibility of the types and use of your data, with a report that profiles storage by usage patterns, data types and volumes. The report also presents a cost benefit analysis and provides recommendations on how and where savings can be achieved.

Can I replace a 2.4Ghz with 2.0Ghz to reduce cost?
Black MacBook 2.4GHZ 320GB HD that I purchased and the logic board had a spill on it. I already opened up the laptop and took out the logic board to replace, but I find myself in a bind because most 2.4Ghz processors are a little bit out out what I can afford. Can I replace the logic board with a lesser Ghz processer to cut down my cost?
Is this a good question?

DVD Review: Perfect Sense
Review: Perfect Sense (15) / Directed by: David Mackenzie / Screenplay by: Kim Fupz Aakeson / Starring: Ewan McGregor, Eva Green, Denis Lawson, Ewen Bremner, Connie Nielson, James Watson, Caroline Paterson / Release date: 30th January 2012
"It's about what it means to be human." If I had a shiny shilling for every time I've heard this cliché trotted out by some desperate producer, actor or screenwriter in an attempt to give some credibility to their humdrum science-fiction movie or TV show I'd have a big bulging bag of admittedly-unusable currency cluttering up the place by now. But I won't be coining it in for Perfect Sense (even though the term is used twice by actor Ewan Bremner in one of the DVD's special features) because, just for once and at last, here's a film which really and absolutely is all about what it means to be human and, more terrifyingly, what it means to lose that humanity.
Last year Starburst created the term Artmageddon to describe a string of end-of-the-world films which weren't all about spectacle and special effects but which used the idea of the world ending (or some equally big SF concept) as a backdrop to a more intimate human drama. It was a term we quickly appended to films like Melancholia, Take Shelter and Another Earth, art house films which don't have the budget for the spectacular and which aren't, in any case, concerned with such multiplex frippery. These are more considered, character-driven pieces, often slow and measured in their pace but almost always movies likely to linger longer in the memory than the most recent Transformers movie or more typical apocalyptic hokum like The Darkest Hour. We can now add Perfect Sense to the 'Artmageddon' list; an understated, quiet British film which slipped into the cinemas in October last year and then, criminally, shuffled away virtually unnoticed. As 'Artmageddon' movies go, Perfect Sense is head and shoulders above the rest of the bunch…
We're in modern day Glasgow and serial womaniser and chef Michael (McGregor) is trying to avoid a relationship with scientist Susan (Eva Green, never knowingly-clothed) despite the obvious attraction between them. As their relationship stutters along the world starts to come off the rails as a strange virus attacks human senses - smell and taste are the first to go. But humanity adjusts, copes, starts to come to terms with its altered condition and hopeful scientists reason that the virus may spread no further, such is the connection between the two senses so far affected. But garbled messages from Bangkok about a worrying increase in cases of sudden deafness cause alarm bells to ring across the world and before long panic sets in and the infrastructure of society begins to crumble. During all the confusion, Michael and Susan become closer, their relationship so intense they're almost able to blot out the changing world outside their window. But when the deafness virus affects Michael and he displays the rage and irrationality which accompanies imminent loss of hearing, he risks losing Susan forever and faces a life of silence and, possibly, something even worse…
I was bowled over by Perfect Sense. Tales of the collapse of modern civilisation have always held a morbid fascination but it's an idea which has been done so often now that it's hard to find a story which can bring something new to the end-of-the-world table. The 'senses pandemic' is a genuinely original idea, uncomfortably chilling because the film doesn't offer up any explanation for it, it just happens and I suppose those of us fortunate enough to be in possession of all our senses and faculties will always have an unspoken fear of losing one or more of them. Perfect Sense reminds us how lucky we are and how easily we take for granted all those things around us which are so commonplace - our friends, our families, the simple joys of eating, speaking, seeing.
Whilst not a film intended to impress you with its visuals, Perfect Sense evokes the slowly-decaying society in a handful of powerful street-scenes depicting a panicked population and a city slowly going to Hell, patrolled by authority figures in protective suits herding the deaf indoors and promising them deliveries of food and water. Most striking of all are the sequences of emotional disorientation which precede each sensory loss - the ravenous hunger before the loss of sense of taste, a raging fury before the loss of hearing and a final glorious euphoria before the lights go out once and for all.
Despite having the gloomiest ending of any film I've seen since The Mist, Perfect Sense still manages to be life-affirming because, in the end, love conquers all and Michael and Susan, you'll not be too surprised to learn, find a 'happy' ending of sorts. With dazzling performances from McGregor (acting with his uncle Denis Lawson for the first time) and Green and a mature and intelligent script, Perfect Sense is absorbing, disturbing, challenging and unsettling. It's also quite unique and really quite brilliant.
Special features: just a brief interview snippet with McGregor at the film's Edinburgh premiere and a 'making of' featuring Lawson, Bremner and the Director's brother Alister Mackenzie who appears in the movie.

COSTA MESA — The City Council will hold a special study session April 26 to discuss budgetary issues, including the city's $130-million unfunded liability and its current pension costs.
At issue is the city's contribution to the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or CalPERS.
"The idea is to basically give a real detailed presentation on the balance fund and what our reserves are, our cash flows are like, just sort of a primer on that issue," said William Lobdell, the city's communications manager and a former Daily Pilot columnist and editor. "Also, there's been a lot of talk about the CalPERS projections and contributions and unfunded balance. So again, 'Here's where we are, here's our projections, here's the issues surrounding that.'"
The study session will begin at 4:30 p.m. and the public will be able to question experts after each presentation.
"We want to provide the public with a foundation upon which we can have a vigorous and informed discussion about the 2011-2012 budget," Tom Hatch, the city's chief executive, said in a prepared statement. "We think this briefing will help to enhance transparency and clarify the city's financial condition."

Business Plans frighten many business owners, however as a professional business owner you understand that you must periodically examine your business and determine if it's meeting your aims and its full potential. A good time to do this is yearly (before the end of your financial year end), but if you've not done this for a while, that's okay, clear a day and take an objective look at how you're doing, what you are doing right, what you want to do better and then develop a plan of action to move your business forward.
Developing a business snapshot or improvement plan is much like the business plan you first created when you started your business, the only different is now you are operating within the realms of reality instead of conjecture.
When I studied business planning, we learned that to stand the best chance of having a profitable business, we needed to learn to plan, do, check and act. This basically means to create a business plan, follow the plan, measure and check up on the pan and then to keep implementing the plan and tweaking it as necessary.
This is often a long, drawn out process but the truth is, it's something every business owner really needs to do, every so often. To develop a business improvement plan you'll need to do the following:
- Know your business needs
- Understand the process involved
- Have a way to analyse results
- Be able to make changes when needed
- Be willing to drop the old and implement the new
- Have a way to test the new
- And…. Repeat….
In any successful business, this process of developing a business improvement plan is ongoing. It will require study of your competition, your target audience, your existing customers, and the current trends, as well as understanding where technology is going for your audience within your niche. Without understanding these things and the ability to look honestly at the past, and hopefully toward the future, it will be hard to develop a business improvement plan of any note.
You can create a business analysis questionnaire to help you accomplish these goals. Depending upon your niche, you may or may not need to include some of these suggestions.
Include in your Business Plan (Business Improvement Plan)
Use your own best judgment. You may include information about:
- Opportunity: Is the opportunity relevant to your audience?
- Industry trends: Where is your industry headed? Read appropriate literature so that you can familiarize yourself with the facts.
- Knowledge: Do you have, or do you know someone who has the knowledge needed to turn this opportunity or idea into a profitable addition or substitution for your business?
- Resources: Do you have the resources in both time and money to complete this project and turn it into a money-making opportunity?
- Features: Can you list all the features of the opportunity?
- Benefits: How does the opportunity benefit your audience?
- Profitability: Is it likely you can profit with the idea or opportunity? If so, how?
I actually went through this process a couple of years back, there I was your typical website design company, servicing our clients and delivering a quality product but struggling to make headway. I wanted to know what I could do to better compete, to better serve my clients and to increase profitability, but where did I start?
First I had to determine if the improvements I was implementing would be justified with the potential projected monetary outcome. Next I had to ensure the improvements would match my industry and fit in with trends that appeal to our target customers. I had to ensure that what I was planning, I had sufficient knowledge from which to base my assumptions and that I wasn't just guessing.
I actually went through a total rebranding and completely structure the business differently as a result of this planning improvement plan. I took my business from offering high quality websites to another level, in that we now offer the best websites for any business. We specialise in offering the best possible solution, with the best possible returns on a client's investment. Our planning addressed areas we needed to concentrate on, it identified areas we needed to improve our knowledge on … and ultimately eighteen months later we have now raised our prices substantially over our competitors and have turned our business around, we now no longer compete on price but on value … and the value we offer generates substantial and measurable results for our clients.
Realising also that we need to maximise our revenue streams we are also about to launch our first WordPress plugin, this is a best of breed type plugin allow users to offer fully customised backend administration areas for WordPress users. This makes the whole user experience much more friendly and inviting and allows developers total control of which menus are shown, RSS feeds and custom dashboard panels… we've even tackled custom fields and cracked it, making our plugin the first to do this.
I guess I am sharing this with you to demonstrate just what can happen putting aside a day or two and planning your businesses future. If you have the resources, and understand how this change affects your audience, and can see that you'll earn more money, then you want to go ahead with your plan, it's a win, win situation… just remember to follow the business plan.

Interesting factoid: If you discuss going down on a woman near a gay man he'll shudder like you've just walked over his grave. If you're wondering why, this is what he's picturing.
OK guy who designed this thing, I think I'm getting your message. "Pussies are scary and repulsive." Seriously, did you have to drive the point home with weeping hogwarts and a fucking bandaid? I could dwell on what I imagine your mangina to look like but that craft project would require an old distended tube sock and a glitter gun (neither of which I possess.) What I'm saying is that you have a loose caboose.

I just finished a trial in which opposing counsel employed a counterstrategy I had never before encountered to a strategy she had suspected I would employ because I had blogged about it: Making the defendant testify in the plaintiff's case-in-chief.
As that blog suggests, I represented the Plaintiff and called the Defendant as my first witness. After I finished my cross-examination, opposing counsel reserved examination of her client for her case-in-chief. This gave her the ability to review and discuss my cross-examination with her client prior to putting her client on the stand. They were able to review evidence and discuss lines of questioning that could help blunt the impact of my cross-examination. Had she simply begun questioning her client when I was done with my examination she would not have had the ability to review my cross-examination with her client prior to presenting her client's direct examination.
The disadvantage of reserving her client's testimony is that I got a second full whack at the Defendant. If opposing counsel did her direct examination of her client in my case-in-chief, my questioning on re-cross would have been limited to items she brought out on her examination. Instead I was entitled to re-examine the Defendant on any issue, including issues I had inadvertently omitted in my first examination and lines of questioning suggested by opposing counsel's intervening cross-examination of my client.
I suspect opposing counsel presented a stronger, more coherent examination of her client by creating the ability to review my cross-examination with her client prior to putting her client on the stand. I know my subsequent second whack scored more points than I might have scored on re-cross. I have no idea how these costs and benefits might balance out in general. However I applaud opposing counsel for employing such a thoughtful counterstrategy.
