text: Fuck this election. We're looking toward the future. Clinton/Booker 2016. Hillary for prez; she holds it down on a global level. Cory Booker for veep; he'll save your grandma from a burning house and then invite you over to chill, while quoting Frederick Douglass. America needs this now more than ever: Something amazing to look forward to. Look at that image by the incomparable Jim Cooke. Don't you feel better already? Clinton/Booker 2016. Pass it on.

Our users will be disconnected 80% of the time from the server and host a local database ( Personal SQL , MSDE size limitation gets us ). Our app is currently 0% web enabled, but will probably incorporate the web into it in a couple of years to a small percent. Why would you use one over the other etc... Our taret is to start coding in late fall and have a beta out in 12-18 months. I have heard the Microsoft spiel I would like to hear from people who have used both.

The flow of nutrients into coastal waters from land-based sources has seen a worldwide increase over the last decades. The resulting change in water quality has many potential impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems. Phosphorus and nitrogen contribute to enhanced algae growth, and subsequent decomposition reduces oxygen availability to benthic sea creatures like fish, shell fish, and crustaceans. Changes to nutrient loadings can also change the phytoplankton species composition and diversity. In extreme cases, eutrophication can lead to hypoxia—oxygen-depleted "dead zones"—and harmful algal blooms.
Measuring chlorophyll concentrations as an indicator of algae biomass may provide one tool to assess coastal water quality and its change over time. This study used chlorophyll-A concentrations derived from NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) to analyze trends over a ten year period (1998–2007). We attempted to identify near-coastal areas with improving, declining, and stable chlorophyll concentrations that can provide guidance for decision making in the context of environmental management.

Crossroads is Sigma Chi's values-based decision-making program about alcohol and drugs. Crossroads aims to bring candid discussions about alcohol and drug use to undergraduate chapters, teach skills related to responsible decision-making and explain the resources the Fraternity offers its members.

Facilitator Time Commitment
- One term of three years
- Annual program minimum: Two programs — total of six programs, over a three-year period
Single program duration:
- Pre-session preparation
- One weekend for program facilitation
- One-year mentorship of each chapter following a Crossroads program
- Attend a facilitator training session prior to leading a Crossroads program
- Facilitation experience — not necessarily within Sigma Chi;
- Familiarity with Sigma Chi risk management policies; and
- At least one year of volunteer experience at the chapter or facilitator level
- Attend Crossroads facilitator training prior to facilitating;
- Serve as a facilitator in Sigma Chi's Crossroads for six sessions, over a three-year period;
- Serve as a mentor for host schools, responding to any inquiries they may have after the program;
- To be an advocate for all of Sigma Chi's alcohol and drug policies, as well as the alcohol and drug policies at the host institution;
- Stay up-to-date on all of Sigma Chi's programs and initiatives regarding the Crossroads program and Risk Management Foundation policies and

Indications of success

Packers rookie running back Eddie Lacy was going to play a role in the Packers offense even before DuJuan Harris was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, likely as a bruising compliment to Harris in a one-two punch for the Green Bay offense.
The Packers are going to have to come up with a slightly different plan now that Harris is out for the season. Guard Josh Sitton thinks that the plan will call for more of Lacy and that Lacy will have to respond by playing beyond his status as a first-year player.
"He's going to have to step up and probably have a larger role," Sitton said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. "He's going to have to grow. He can't be a rookie anymore."
Lacy will be looking at a bigger role, but the Packers can't put so much on his plate that it winds up limiting his effectiveness. Demovsky writes that fellow rookie Johnathan Franklin "doesn't look ready to contribute," which means that veterans Alex Green and James Starks could be looking at expanded roles as well. That's a big switch from last week when it seemed they were fighting for one roster spot and it is one they'll need to capitalize on to build the best Packers offense possible.

For the past few days the big story has been the protest of SOPA and PIPA, the two potentially disastrous and dangerous pieces of legislation that would give major corporations and organizations the right to censor the internet in the name of protection against piracy. Yesterday, websites like Wikipedia.org and Reddit.com shut their doors to the public, demonstrating what it would be like if either SOPA or PIPA were passed
I talked to Richardson about her role in the film, working hard to let her naturally similarities to her mother link the character, playing one of the most iconic figures of British history, and what she thinks of the "Oxfordian" theory behind the film, that de Vere was in fact that author of Shakespeare's works
Rhys Ifans admits up front that he didn't expect to get the role of Edward de Vere in Anonymous. He's the gangly, goofy guy who played Spike in Notting Hill and Xenophilius Lovegood in Harry Potter; why would anyone bring him in as the noblemen who, at least in the theoretical world Anonymous presents, secretly wrote all of Shakespeare's plays?
Are you confused by the provocative premise behind Roland Emmerich's new movie Anonymous, or at very least the poster's tagline "Was Shakespeare a fraud?" I was too, and even after seeing the movie I had plenty of questions for the movie's screenwriter, John Orloff
Roland Emmerich's next film, Anonymous has been slated for a release next Friday for quite some time. And now that the release is upon us, despite months and millions spent on trailer marketing, Sony has decided not to give the film the wide release we we've all been expecting.
Sony has announced that tomorrow night, at 8:15pm PST, Emmerich, executive producer/writer John Orloff and historian Charles Beauclerk are going to stage a live debate against UC Berkeley Professor Alan H. Nelson, the subject being the validity of Shakespeare's work. The whole thing will be broadcast live on the movie's official Facebook page
I love the mental image of Ifans on the set of this $200 million production, wearing cardboard on his head and a skintight green suit. Of course that's not what we'll see on the screen, but when the astonishing CGI Lizard arrives onscreen in The Amazing Spider-Man next summer, I hope the silly side of it pops into your head just a little.
Not only is it set in the hoity-toity Elizabethan era, but it's actually about Shakespeare, or rather, the anonymous playwright who actually wrote Shakespeare's most famous works. Between the whiplash-inducing contrast of Emmerich making a historical drama
Perhaps still riding high off the success of their a cappella "Creep" scored Social Network trailer, they have decided to present early scenes from the Elizabethan drama to the tune of "Everything In Its Right Place." Actually we start in modern-day New York with a man on a stage
It's a bit presumptuous to say when we're only five days in, but 2011 may end up being a really great year for movies. Browsing through our 2011 preview, there's an endless number of titles with high potential
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Underworld fans are going to have to wait even longer before they get to feast their eyes on a fully latexed Kate Beckinsale again

Scott A. Chovanec, MS, MA, MBA, FAWHP, is president of Scott Chovanec & Associates Inc., a strategic planning practice providing design services, thought leadership and decision support for the fitness and wellness industry. An author and presenter at major health and fitness conferences, Chovanec is often asked to help organizations improve their managerial leadership and customer service standards. His facility and customer service audits have helped companies achieve unparalleled levels of service. Chovanec holds four master's degrees, including an MBA in finance. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Don't have time for the delivery of exceptional service? Don't worry. Someone else will gladly do that for you.
The biggest reason that people leave a club is poor customer service, not competition. In fact, 65 percent of customers leave because of poor service while only 12 percent leave because they've been won over by your competitors. If you concentrate on that 65 percent, giving them what they need rather than what you think they need, then you can sustain a competitive advantage that will distance and differentiate you from your competition.
So, if good customer service is so important, why do I still see such poor customer service when I do my club evaluations? I've developed a list of eight ugly things I see at many clubs:
1. No greeting initiation by the front desk staff, which often means no greeting occurs.
2. Inattentiveness, which is shown in body language and manners.
3. Lack of any personalization.
4. Gossip and "desk talk."
5. Lack of information imparted to members and guests.
6. Lack of follow through.
7. A multitude of facility issues.
8. Lack of "positively aggressive" floor help for members who need help.
Many of these issues can be alleviated if staff members are customer-centered. Being strong in customer "centeredness" will not only distance your club from others, but it will differentiate and define you as well—which will help your bottom line. Simply said, customer centeredness is the ability to create a remarkable, memorable or magical experience during every customer encounter at your club. It requires you to offer the kind of service in which one extremely satisfied person tells one person after another about your great service.
To be able to focus on your customer, you must remember that your customers need and expect four things at your club:
1. Qualified staff. Do you post your staff qualifications, credentials and certifications for customers to see?
2. Instruction. Are you providing ample floor instruction during peak times, and are your staff members anticipating members' concerns and needs?
3. No overcrowding. Are there policies and practices that address busy times on equipment?
4. Safe environment. Are tripping hazards eliminated and safety procedures practiced?
But good customer service doesn't end there. Customers want everything better, cheaper, faster and their way. Customers value reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and the special tangibles that set your facility apart from others. Because leisure time is at a premium for most people, they also appreciate shortened wait times for equipment, on check-ins or on the phone.
In addition, customers become confused and annoyed when you use industry jargon. Explanations and instructions should always be given in clear, simple language.
Members also want to be valued. Nothing can justify making a customer feel like a nuisance.
Customers expect quality and satisfaction in direct proportion to the membership prices they're paying.
When it comes to customer service, your front desk staff is your most important asset. They make a first impression with every encounter. And the first and last impressions are extremely important because you are in the "memory management" business. If you manage the first and the last impression with all the members and guests who enter your operation, you'll always come out on top.
Involve your front desk staff in making decisions, allow them to attend conferences, engage them in professional development opportunities and empower them to remediate complaints on the spot. They are in a position to deliver a remarkable or memorable experience that prompts your customers to tell others.
As Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, once said, "The folks in the front lines—the ones who actually talk to the customer—are the only ones who really know what's going on out there."
This is especially critical when dealing with complaints, which are unique opportunities in disguise. How we handle complaints will make the long-term difference with the customer. Empower your front line to resolve a customer issue immediately without adding extra steps for the member. Empathy is a core value. It is especially crucial in dealing with complaints.
Remembering the customer in all transactions and encounters during his or her visit to your facility can be challenging. To help, consider this simple but highly effective customer-service formula:
- Look at me
- Smile at me
- Talk to me
- Listen to me
- Thank me
- Remember me
Most successful fitness operators, knowing that cost and quality differentiate the winners, also understand that customer perceptions drive the reality of their operations. In many fitness markets, customers hold cost secondary if they perceive the value of their membership as something that exceeds expectations. This only happens through the delivery of effective customer service strategies. The accountability of those strategies creates this culture of service and makes it a reality.
It makes all the sense in the world to deliver exemplary service at every opportunity, especially at a time when the dollar is so stretched, where it costs five to seven times more to attract a new member than to keep an existing one and when the battle for the discretionary dollar is at an all-time high. Anticipate your customers' needs. Make safety, quality, service and satisfaction not just words on paper, but the premise for the creation of a culture of service that will distance and differentiate you from all others.

FOLLOWUP: KCLS Director Responds to Resident Concerned About Explicit Anime
Our post on the local resident who's upset with the King County Library System for allowing his 10-year old niece to check out an anime book labelled "For Mature Audiences 18+" has not only generated a lot of Comments – it also got a response from KCLS Director Bill Ptacek, who wrote the following letter to Travis De Nevers:
Dear Mr. De Nevers,
Thank you for contacting the King County Library System regarding the situation at the White Center Library where your 10-year old niece checked out an Anime book that had the sticker "For Mature Audiences 18+" and "Parental Advisory Explicit Content." You stated that the label is accurate and that the content of the book includes violent and explicit sexual material. You expressed concern that a young girl was able to check out the book, questioned why it was located in a place where children would have easy access to it and asked for a review of KCLS' check-out practices to prevent a similar situation from happening again.
In keeping with the mission to provide free, open and equal access to ideas and information, KCLS develops its collection to reflect the diversity of the patrons we serve. Materials are selected based on a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, current and anticipated needs and interests of the public and contribution to the breadth of collections. We also expand the collection by responding to requests from patrons, and graphic novels are one of the most requested areas of the collection. When evaluating suggested titles, staff consults industry-related websites, newsletters and blogs. If overall reviews are positive, a title is purchased; conversely, if the consensus is negative, the request is declined.
Although many people associate graphic novels with children and teens, the industry increasingly publishes titles for adults thanks to the popularity of Anime TV shows. The material caters more to Japanese sensibilities than American values and may contain elements rarely depicted in American graphic novels.
The title your niece checked out, "Hero Heels 2" was cataloged as Adult Non-Fiction. All non-fiction titles, including children's non-fiction, are shelved together. The parental advisory sticker on the cover was adhered to the book by the publisher. KCLS does not apply ratings to its materials but recognizes that certain items in the collection that are popular with some may be considered objectionable by others. For that reason, staff relies on the authority of parents and legal guardians to supervise the reading, viewing or listening use of library materials for their own minor children. KCLS' Parental Responsibility Policy, which is attached, states in part, that:
"Parents and guardians are responsible for their children's behavior, safety and welfare while their children are in the library or on library grounds, which includes their children's access to library materials and electronic resources. KCLS strongly recommends that a parent, guardian or other responsible party be present to supervise children ages 12 and younger. KCLS staff is available to assist parents, guardians and their children in the use of the library; however, KCLS staff cannot act "in loco parentis" (in place of a parent) for children in the library."
The Policy also states that "KCLS will not limit children to the use of books in the children's section of the library, as these materials may not meet the needs and interests of all children. In addition, library staff is not responsible for determining whether materials used by children and teens are "age appropriate."
These policies are not unique to KCLS. They are consistent with public library policies across the United States.
I am sorry that the material checked out was not appropriate for your niece but hope that your family will continue to use the library. Staff is happy to suggest reading materials that are in keeping with your family's values and can show you how to use the library catalog to find out more information about a book before it is checked it out.
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Outed With Love
My name is Jimmy Mack and I was born gay and an alcoholic. I always knew I was gay, in the same way any heterosexual person will tell you they always knew they were straight. To this day, it offends me when people say "sexual preference" -- as if it was a choice -- to which I always say: "Why in the world would I choose to be part of a group that it is still socially and politically acceptable to discriminate against?"
My sexual identity is gay and although I've had sex with women, I prefer not to. So my sexual preference is not to have sex with women; my sexual identity says I am programmed to have sex with men.
My parents tell a story of me as a 4-year-old, when my mother had three kids in diapers at home and my Dad was away most of the time doing his medical school residency. Mom's only salvation was when she put three kids down for a nap and had an hour to herself. During one of these "nap" sessions, I had asked to sleep in my parents' room. I promptly went through my mother's vanity trying on earring and necklaces until I came across seven beautiful multicolored capsules.
Now, as I said, I was born an alcoholic; but long before my first drink passed my lips, I was obsessed with food, especially sweets. So when I saw those beautiful pills, I figured they had to be candy and I ate one. Not good-tasting at all, but figuring that with all those colors inside that clear capsule they had to be candy, I ate all seven knowing one of them had to taste good. What I didn't know was that they were a one-week sample of prescription amphetamines that were sent to my father.
Needless to say I didn't nap. My mother probably thought I was just extra-hyper that day because it wasn't until dinner that night that my parents began to suspect something was wrong. First, they had a difficult time getting me to sit at the dinner table, then the unthinkable happened: I refused to eat! This was a first. My Dad evidently grabbed me, looked into my dilated pupils and knew something was wrong. Soon the empty Rx was found and since it was too late to pump my stomach, my parents agreed to take turns staying awake with me as I told my life story over and over while redecorating the house and straightening all the rugs.
Now, if that doesn't scream: "Born gay, born alcoholic" -- I don't know what would.
I think I was in second grade when I first remember becoming aroused by men, Tarzan among them. My first sexual experience was with another boy at the age of 13. Having never seen a homosexual, my only references were the negative stereotypes that occasionally showed up in the media and the adamant "You'll burn in hell because Jesus loves all mankind except the kind of man that loves another man" that was the philosophy of the Catholic Church (and still is - unless, of course, you're a priest). So, as a young teenager, my survivor's instinct told me this was something I had to hide because it was wrong.
I desperately wanted to be like everyone else but there's no hiding from middle-school bullies. I was called fem, faggot and gay-boy; I was teased, taunted, pushed and shoved. The continual humiliation made me not want to go to school, and suicidal thoughts were frequent. I sent away for the "Charles Atlas" workout routine and obsessively worked out in my room every day so I could defend myself. Eventually the bullies stopped teasing me, but all along I knew they were right about me.
Through high school I managed, with the help of enormous amount of drugs and alcohol, to have sex with women or to be so messed up that my occassional daliances with men could be easliy forgotten or chalked up to overdoing it the night before. To this day, I have never had sober sex with a woman.
In 1975, I graduated high school and went on to college where I found a girl whose father worked for Hoffman-LaRoche, the manufacturers of Valium. Her endless supply of it made for a decent sex life -- and fueled my denial both that I was gay and that I was an alcoholic/addict.
Summers I would head home to the Hamptons where I would lifeguard by day and waiter by night. The new hot restaurant was the "Club Pierre" -- and not only were both owners gay, but all the waiters were either gay men and gorgeous or women and beautiful. And they all knew I was gay, no matter how hard I denied it!
In my last year of college, I wound up sleeping with my girlfriend's roommate, who was a gay man, and the gig was up. I went home that summer, having broken up with my "fiancé," and Pierre jokingly lined up all the waiters and said: "Pick one." For me it was Frank and only Frank -- the most beautiful Italian-American young man I had ever seen! I pursued him all summer, but it wasn't till August that he finally invited me to his place.
Now, since I was still living in my parents' house and their one rule was to let them know when I wasn't coming home so they wouldn't worry, I told them I was sleeping over at Frank's, a waiter I worked with. After the third time I called to say I was sleeping over at Frank's, my parents called me into my father's den. What happened next was nothing short of miraculous.
Now I should say my parents are enlightened, intelligent people who have shown me and my siblings nothing but unconditional love all our lives. My Dad is a doctor and my mother, an artist. We grew up in a big house where all were welcomed. My Dad was an avid surfer in the '60s, had the first windsurfer on the East Coast of America in the '70s and loved the Beatles from the get-go. Mom went back to college to study art when I was in college and started a guitar-playing folk group at our local Catholic Church back in the '60s. So what they were about to say to me shouldn't have come as a surprise; nevertheless, I didn't fathom the enormity of it or how lucky I was untill years later.
Back in my father's den it was a beautful evening, with the sun setting out of one window and a cool ocean breeze coming through the screen door. The '70s were ending and my world was about to change forever. My father, a man of few words, started off by saying: "Your mother tells me that you've spent several nights at the house of one of the waiters from the Club Pierre?" "Thats right." I said. The rest I will paraphrase: My Dad said that since all the waiters as well as the owners of the restaurant were gay, and since I was spending so much time with, as well as sleeping over with, one of the waiters, that they had concluded that I too may be gay and that, if indeed I was, they wanted to let me know it was perfectly OK, that they would love me no matter what, and that there was absolutely nothing wrong with being gay.
I think I was speechless, so my father continued on, with my mother beaming and nodding approval, saying that if that was the case that I should be as open as I want about it, that I shouldn't worry about what people thought, that if any of their friends had a problem with it, they wouldn't be their friends, that I shouldn't listen to what the Catholic Church or the media had to say about it ... What was most important to them was that I was happy.
My father said that we were fortunate to live in a place where people were intelligent and enlightened enough not to have a problem with it, but that there were places in the world where people would actually want to harm me because of it and that in those places full of ignorant people, I might want to consider hiding it because they would never want to see me hurt. They finished by saying that if this young man Frank was important to me that I should bring him by as they'd like to meet him.
I don't think I said a thing or I just don't remember but I'm pretty sure I cried.
My parents were true to their word. They embraced Frank like another member of the family during the next four years we were together; and they show the same love for my current partner, Mehdi. They stood by me when I tested HIV positive in 1987 and, with the help of my siblings and their spouses, lovingly convinced me to enter a Drug and Alcohol Rehab in 1992 when my only other option was to die a drunk addict (I've been clean and sober ever since). And in 1995 when I fell in love with another HIV-positive man named Orlando, they threw a "wedding" for us at the house in the Hamptons where I grew up; and they came to Orlando's funeral when he died of AIDS in 2002.
Over the years almost every one of my parents' close friends has had a child that has turned out to be gay (something in the drinking water out there?). When asked for advice my mother would say: "Do you love your child?" Thankfully, the answer was always yes! "Well, love them more; it's not going to be easy for them."
My Dad turned 80 on May 17, and my Mom's 80th is December 14. Thankfully they are in good heath and still the enlightened, intelligent, loving, caring, wonderful parents that 30 years ago had the guts to say to their confused gay son: "If you're gay, it's OK; we will love you no matter what."

For a vinyl and turntable enthusiast, you will probably find it rich for me to recommend you a digital source!
One can't stay completely in the past, and even though I certainly love the whole exercise of putting a record on the platter and drop the needle into the groove, one needs to explore new options, and HD Tracks does seem to me to be the best way to go digital.
They have several formats available for fans of all types of music. If you would like genuine CD-quality sound, HDtracks offers both AIFF and FLAC lossless files. For those who wish to carry their music in a portable player, they have 320kbps files that far exceed the quality of standard MP3 files.
Finally, audiophiles take note. HDtracks offers select titles in ultra-high resolution 96khz/24bit files. This is true DVD-audio sound quality for music lovers that demand the very best!

Research explores relationship-building program for male same-sex couples
(Medical Xpress)—University of Cincinnati research is examining the effectiveness of a relationship education program that was created to specifically address the needs of male same-sex couples. Details on the program and the study, led by Sarah Whitton, a UC assistant professor of psychology, will be presented Nov. 17, at the 46th annual convention of the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) in National Harbor, Md.
Whitton explains that same-sex couples and heterosexual couples share similar foundations for building successful relationships: commitment, communication and conflict resolution.
However, same-sex couples are at heightened risk for breaking up, due to a number of issues including lack of social and community support, stress of discrimination and a lack of longstanding cultural norms for same-sex relationships.
"In reviewing relationship education programs, the core concepts were helpful, but they were heterosexually biased. For example, some communication patterns were explained in terms of gender differences, which do not apply to same-sex couples," says Whitton. "As a result, the materials could be alienating and even distracting in assisting same-sex couples."
The researchers developed a relationship education program specifically for male, same-sex couples, first testing the program on a small number (12) of married or engaged male couples in Boston, where same-sex marriage had been legalized. The program is currently being tested again on 24 male couples in the Cincinnati area.
The program focused on the "3 C's" (commitment, communication, conflict resolution ) of relationship building and was held over three sessions.
Feedback about the program indicated that the couples found efforts at building communication skills very helpful in creating a sense of stability in their relationship and in resolving conflict.
"There's really no longtime role model for same-sex partnerships, which means that same-sex couples have a little more freedom in creating their relationship around how they want it to be. But that also means they have to work together and communicate, negotiate and share their ideas, their set of expectations, on what they want in their relationship. It is more likely than with heterosexual couples that they may have very different expectations, which can create problems," says Whitton.
Other researchers on the study are Brian A. Buzzella, a psychologist for the VA San Diego Healthcare System, and Amanda Kuryluk and Eliza Weitbrecht, both doctoral students in the University of Cincinnati psychology department.
Future research will focus on conducting a larger-scale study as well as launching a pilot program for female same-sex couples.

CRANSTON – Rhode Island's jobless rate continued to rise in March, increasing one-tenth of a percentage point over February, the R.I. Department of Labor and Training reported Friday.
The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 11.1 percent last month, from 11 percent in February. This marked the second consecutive monthly increase after seeing no rise since June 2011.
The Ocean State's year-over-year unemployment rate dropped one-tenth of a percentage point in 2012 from March 2011.
The decline marked the 17th consecutive month of year-over-year decreases.
Figures show that 496,100 RI residents had jobs in March, down 1,300 over revised February numbers and marking the lowest employment level in the state since December 1996.
Compared to March 2011, there was a 5,200 employed resident drop.
The state's labor force reached 558,200 in March, down 800 from February and down 6,300 from March 2011, the lowest number since March 2005.
Sectors that increased unemployment levels in March included health care and social assistance, financial activities, arts, entertainment and recreation as well as accommodation and food services.
Sectors that lost jobs included professional and business services, educational services, government and the retail trade.
The average hourly production wage for manufacturing was up 20 cents from February, reaching $18.29 and reflecting a $3.10 increase from March 2011.
Nationally, the March unemployment rate was 8.2 percent, down from 8.3 percent in February.

What began for me in May of 2009 as an exciting and downright scary culinary adventure is drawing to a close. This week, I completed my sojourn as a baking & pastry-arts student in a well-regarded culinary school, here in suburban Detroit. I never expected it would take me quite this long to complete the program but life happened, as they say, and priorities now and then had to shift. It's been a long and occasionally wild ride, and I don't regret one minute of it.
(This fondant-covered wedding cake was my last project, in my last class. I completed it, and brought it home, on Monday night. Biggest cake I've ever made! It weighed a ton.)
And, naturally, the support and encouragement of my husband and kids was a critical factor all along. If they hadn't been okay with me taking lots of time for the classes and homework, I wouldn't have been comfortable doing it (thanks so much, guys!). They are truly the greatest.
I wrote about him here.)
So, was it all fun and games? Not on your life. Were there teachers there, a la Gordon Ramsay, who seemed to get their kicks by publicly berating people? Oh yeah, I can think of one or two in particular. Was I the oldest student there? Not by a long shot. In fact, one of the most interesting aspects of the program was the extreme diversity of the student population. Kids right out of high school, men in their twenties right out of the service, women in their fifties who'd left long and/or lucrative careers to follow their dream.
Being a student in this program exposed me to so many fresh experiences, and to new people. Case in point: I'd never in my life pried open a live oyster before I had to do this in Cookery class. I remember how my teacher, who happened to closely resemble the Swedish chef character from the Muppets, demonstrated our task, then chose me to try it first. He handed me the oyster knife and a special armor-like glove to wear on the hand that would hold the oyster. I took them from him, put on the glove, and then realized I needed to stop for a moment to take off my glasses in order to really see what I was doing. An outgoing student who'd just gotten out of the Navy--a tall, wiry guy who looked rougher and older than his years--commented loudly, "She's keepin' it real!" His name was Nick, and he was a character. Once he asked me if I had any kids and I told him I had two teenage sons, who were at the time 13 and 16. He looked at me in complete surprise, and said to me quietly, "No kidding? Well, bless your heart." I guess he expected anyone with two teenage sons would have to behave like a drill sergeant at all times, a description that rarely fits me. We never had another class together but the one time we ran into each other the next semester, I was in Retail Baking class at the time, stirring something on a stove, and he bellowed out to me from a distance, "Hey Jane! Still kickin' ass?!" Of course I responded, "Always!"
I could go on and on with little tales like that from school, and I'm sure in future posts I will. But enough for now. I really just wanted to share the news with you that I am truly and finally done! Joy! And as a result, I hope to be more present, here in this blog, which is like an old friend to me, in the weeks ahead. Thanks to you readers for once more stopping by, and for sharing this journey with me.

The Houston Texans don't have to look far for bulletin-board material. They can wait for the end of the week, when it's likely that no one will pick them to win their divisional-round game against the New England Patriots. Or they can read Dan Shaughnessy's column in the Boston Globe.
Some choice sections:
1. "Could this get any easier? I mean, seriously? The planets are aligned and the tomato cans are in place. The fraudulent Houston Texans are the only team standing between the New England Patriots and a trip to the AFC Championship game."
2. Comparing the Texans to the 2010 New York Jets, who won in Foxborough after being blown out by the Patriots during the regular season, Shaughnessy says: "Those Jets had players and a coach who did not wet their pants at the sight of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Those Jets had attitude. The 2012-13 Texans? Pure frauds. The worst 11-1 team in the history of the NFL. These Texans have absolutely zero chance of beating New England here next week. And everybody knows that this is true."
It goes on from there, but you get the idea. Getting a rise of his readers is part of Shaughnessy's job. For the latter part of his career, it feels like the main part of his job. The chances of Shaughnessy actually having watched the Texans play outside of that Week 14 loss to the Patriots is slimmer than the Texans' chances of winning Sunday, but that's not the point.
The Texans have their fuel. Bill Belichick will give Houston all the respect in the world, but this really is how many folks, especially in Boston, view this game. (Belichick surely will love seeing this column.)
NFL Replay will re-air the New England Patriots' 42-14 victory over the Houston Texans from Week 14 on Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
» NFL Network schedule
I feel differently. The Texans are far more dangerous than last year's Denver Broncos team that went into New England and lost. While we don't quite trust Houston's offense to score enough points, its defense has enough pieces to give Tom Brady problems.
The Patriots are heavy favorites in this game, and they should be. But let's not get carried away. The Texans soundly beat the other two teams still left in the AFC playoffs. New England didn't exactly finish the season strong, and Houston still is capable of beating any team on a given day.
Even if the Texans look like tomato cans to the untrained eye.
UPDATE: Shaughnessy's column grabbed the attention of at least one Texan. Running back Arian Foster changed his twitter avatar to reflect the lead of the column. Shaughnessy responded by tweeting: "hey @arianfoster -- Loving the avatar. Bring your A game to Foxboro on Sunday."Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Magister replaces most Ozy functions.Read more ....
This product is no longer available.
Ozy - What is it?
The Ozy module is an FPGA based interface controller card that provides the input and output connections to the real world. An Altera Cyclone II FPGA provides numerous control lines for interfacing the various boards connected to the Atlas backplane. Ozy also provides a high speed USB 2.0 interface to the controlling PC. The USB interface uses a Cypress FX2 chip which has greatly simplified the design and development effort. The FX2 supports full duplex USB communications at a measured 35MB/s, which should allow sufficient bandwidth for current and future requirements. The Cyclone II FPGA also provides the necessary control logic and data formatting for the Janus board as well serial and parallel interfaces for user defined I/O. One highly desirable feature of the Ozy board is the ability to measure the various high frequency crystal oscillators used by the HPSDR by using the 1 pps clock from a GPS receiver. The GPS clock can be used to gate the various oscillators and report the count to the PC via the USB interface. Since the PC will have prior knowledge of exactly what these frequencies should be, any errors can be corrected in software. The result will be a radio with extremely high frequency accuracy and stability -- a boon for microwave operators. In conjunction with Janus, Atlas and a suitable power supply it becomes a part of a Software Defined Radio (SDR) system which performs A/D and D/A conversions as well as control functions.
For the hobbyist, student and even professional, the Ozy represents a very competitively priced way of learning and experimenting with FPGA development. An added bonus is that all the software to develop code is either available under the GPL or via free download. Apart from use with an SDR there are numerous other areas where an FPGA development board can be used.
Ozy is an experimental device and may not be suitable for your application.
Ozy - What it is not!
Ozy is not an SDR. It does not function as a stand alone card. It currently requires the Atlas backplane and power supply to provide a minimally functional system.
Ozy - Why?
Many modern PCs (especially laptops) do not have parallel ports necessary to control an SDR. Ozy allows parallel I/O under control of a standard PC USB port. In conjunction with Janus, even digitized receive and transmit data can be sent and received by the PC. This allows the USB port to function as a complete SDR interface to the PC.
When will Ozy be delivered?
A&T units are sold out and will no longer be available from TAPR. Bare PCB are still available, see below.
Ozy Warranty
All Ozy boards will be tested prior to shipment, and all boards will be working when they are shipped. To the extent that we have available inventory, we may, at our discretion, agree to a one time only exchange. This is a low volume production, experimental item. TAPR is a small, not- for-profit organization of volunteers who have helped facilitate this project because we believe it is a cool thing to have. In order for TAPR to be able to offer this board at all, we must rely on the support of all users in the HPSDR community. The Ozy board is basically a group buy that we have chosen to pre-build because of the difficulty of assembly. TAPR expects that Ozy buyers will seek help on the HPSDR Discussion List for problem resolution.
No support will be available from TAPR staff. You will be expected to join the HPSDR Discussion List and participate in the group discussions of any problems and their solutions. Firmware and software will be available for download from the HPSDR website. Due to the difficulty of packaging the parts and ICs individually, no complete kits of parts can be offered.
Assembled and Tested

LODI - Phil Crane expressed excitement at the prospect of picking the barbera winegrapes that grow in the front yard of his Acampo home.
LODI - Phil Crane expressed excitement at the prospect of picking the barbera winegrapes that grow in the front yard of his Acampo home.
He'll get about three barrels of the barbera, an Italian varietal that is rare in Lodi. The zinfandel grapes he grows on a couple acres out back, he sells to a local winemaker. The barbera vines, they're just for fun.
It's the last harvest that Crane plans to pick on his nearly 5 acres on Lubell Lane. Now's the time to sell his 3,100-square-foot custom home and the surrounding land, he said, and he will spend some time finishing renovations on a home he owns in Mendocino.
"When I bought this place four years ago, it was a soft market. Now, it's a burgeoning market," Crane said.
At a list price of $750,000, Crane's property would have been attractive to a microscopic market two years ago. Today, several interested parties have viewed the home, and one has made a cash offer, Crane's real estate agent, Ryan Sherman, said.
Real estate agents say the midpriced to high-end home sales are starting to rise in Lodi, and the move-up market - where people are upgrading from their starter homes - is emerging countywide. As evidence that high end homes sales is finding traction, the first million-dollar home to be sold in Lodi since 2008 closed last week by Sherman's office, Sherman & Associates.
The Rivergate Drive estate backing up to the Mokelumne River was listed at $1.4 million and was sold for $1.25 million, Sherman said, adding that he is acquiring a growing list of clients looking to sell homes in the $400,000 to $600,000 range. It's a good sign for home builders and better sign for people who bought low during the foreclosure crisis and now have some equity if they choose to sell and upgrade.
"We're starting to see more of a traditional market, or as close to what you might call a traditional market in Lodi," Sherman said. "We are seeing double the sales in the middle-upper to upper-end homes."
A Canal Drive home in Lodi, listed at $659,000 is another example of a high-end home on the market. With three bedrooms and 2,667 square feet on a 7,500-square-foot lot, it's not huge. However, high-end appliances, a built-in espresso maker and a 160-bottle wine room are just a few aspects of the home's dazzling interior.
It's not likely the home would have sold at this price point in recent years. Statistics indicate that it will now.
According to MetroList data, there were 14 homes sold for more than $600,000 in the Lodi area - which includes Acampo and Woodbridge - in 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, 22 homes have sold for more than $600,000 and an additional eight sales are pending. Also in 2012, there were 58 homes sold in Lodi for more than $400,000. There have been 94 sold for more than $400,000 in 2013 to date in the Lodi area.
MetroList statistics countywide show that upper-end home sales are not rising like they are in Lodi, but that what real estate agents call the "move-up" market is taking shape.
When the foreclosure crisis hit in 2007, and home prices plummeted, there was a clear line drawn at the $300,000 mark in the housing market. First time home buyers were scooping up homes in a newly affordable $150,000 to $250,000 range at record low interest rates. The market for homes above $300,000 was nonexistent, real estate agents said.
That trend is changing, PMZ Real Estate's Stockton area President Ben Balsbaugh confirmed. People who bought when prices were low are now able to sell with equity and move up.
Last year, there were 771 total sales of homes priced at $300,000 or higher in the county. There are nearly double that many so far in 2013, at 1,420, Balsbaugh said, although he doesn't expect that number to double again next year.
Statistics also show that traditional sales now make up the majority of the San Joaquin County market, and the prevalence of foreclosure and short sales has shrunken considerably.
In 2012, foreclosure sales accounted for 28 percent of all sales and short sales made up 33 percent. In 2013, foreclosures make-up a sliver of the market at 13 percent of sales. Short sales down to 24 percent.
"We knew those purchasing in 2008 to 2010 would be our first sellers as we moved to more of a traditional market. Equity came fairly quickly for them, and they are now moving up," Balsbaugh said. "We will continue to see this as prices continue to rise, although at a slower pace."
