Organized by India's Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, the conference is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 11 and Friday, Dec. 12 in New Delhi.
According to a schedule published by the GJEPC, the first day will focus on branding, marketing and retailing of diamonds. Rio Tinto's Jean Marc Lieberherr and De Beers' Stephen Lussier will be among those on a panel addressing marketing diamonds from the miner's perspective.
In another panel, Oded Edelman of online retailer James Allen will join Wong siu-Kee Kent from Chow Tai Fook and others for a discussion on excellence in jewelry retailing.
The third session of that first day will focus on generic promotion of diamonds--which has been lacking since De Beers pulled back as its share of the world's rough diamonds dwindled--and include an address by Alex Popov, chairman and CEO of the World Diamond Mark Foundation. The World Diamond Mark is the global marketing effort for the stones launched at the 35th World Diamond Congress held in Mumbai in 2012.
The second day of the conference will focus on financing, with presentations by representatives from ABN Amro and Standard Chartered, as well as a panel on finding solutions to current issues that impact the trade.
The GJEPC said both Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Putin are expected to attend the conference's inaugural function on Thursday morning. According to The Times of India, Putin is making his annual trip to India next week.
A full schedule and more information on the conference is available on GJEPC.org.

(Reuters) – The University of Louisville fired Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Pitino on Monday amid a national investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of allegations of corruption in college basketball.
Louisville's athletic association voted unanimously to dismiss Pitino, one of the most successful college basketball coaches in history, several weeks after the FBI alleged money from apparel sponsor Adidas was used to pay a prospective recruit.
The university placed Pitino and Athletic Director Tom Jurich on leave Sept. 27 after the university acknowledged it was being investigated.
"I have been given no 'cause' for termination of my contract," Pitino said in an affidavit, NBC News reported. He added: "I will fight tirelessly to defend my reputation." His attorney, Steve Pence, told reporters on Monday that Pitino was not involved in the payment scheme and should be reinstated.
"There isn't just a single reason," Louisville interim President Greg Postel said following the announcement. "There were a number of issues that, over time, were brought to our attention. And we simply felt that this was in the best interest of the university and make the decision at this point in time."
Louisville was already on probation for a scandal involving strippers and escorts entertaining recruits and other players in dorm rooms. Pitino has said he was unaware of those events. The NCAA last year vacated the program's wins from 2010 to 2014.
Severance has not been determined, university spokesman John Karman told Reuters. Pitino is owed more than $40 million under a contract that was to run through 2026, he said.
Four assistant college basketball coaches at other schools were among those arrested on federal corruption charges on Sept. 26 after they were caught taking bribes to steer NBA-destined players toward certain sports agents and financial advisers.
Court papers showed the FBI has been investigating the criminal influence of money on student athletes affiliated with the NCAA since 2015.
Pitino, 65, took over at Louisville 16 years ago after spending four seasons with the National Basketball Association's Boston Celtics. Prior to that he was a coach at the University of Kentucky, where he led the men's basketball program back to prominence and won a national title in 1996.

Jono from Louder Than The Music contacted me for an interview a while back, and they've recently put it up on their website.
The questions they asked were:
- For those who haven't heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved in making music?
- Tell us a little bit about your new album 'Seven Stars' and what the inspiration behind it was?
- Which is your favourite track on the album and why?
- What's your song writing process?
- If you could work with any song writer, who would it be and why?
- Who are your musical influences?
- In your opinion, what makes the perfect worship song?
- What advice would you give to any aspiring singers or songwriters out there?
- You're stuck on an island, it's hot, you only have enough battery life left to listen to one song on your mp3 player. What track is it?
- What does the next year hold for Chris Haines?
See what I had to say here. Please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors; I wrote it in a bit of a hurry!
Also, I forgot to mention another band that I am currently very inspired by: United Pursuit.

Paying to volunteer may at first seem a strange concept, but local organisations and projects that offer volunteer placements overseas, have limited resources and are not able to subsidise the costs of providing housing for volunteers and producing the extra food necessary for three meals a day for them too. In fact, quite often the lodgings are in a dedicated volunteer home, with many of your home comforts like hot water, TV and sometimes even a swimming pool to relax in after a long and very rewarding day helping on your chosen project.
The local staff also need to spend their time educating, supervising and training the volunteer in the first instance (and sometimes even counseling), working with their transferrable skills, to ensure that they can help the local community. Indeed if they did have available resources themselves, it would almost be more beneficial and cost effective to hire a local person instead.
Identifying suitable, sustainable and worthwhile overseas volunteer projects takes time, money and experienced staff. Specialist UK tour operator, Amanzi Travel takes great care in placing and supporting its volunteers overseas. It will ensure that all volunteers are met at the nearest airport upon arrival and transferred to the project, and taken back to the airport at the end of the placement too.
By volunteering through Amanzi Travel, for example, volunteers can embark on their trip knowing that they are guaranteed to be on a legitimate project that really helps the local people, environment and wildlife, as well as knowing that everything is organized to ensure that they get the most out of their volunteer experience, in a safe, supportive, rewarding and sustainable way.
This is typically what your costs go towards:-
- Financing that goes directly back into the projects themselves for items such as building materials, equipment, supplies and foodstuffs. These funds are carefully managed to the best advantage of the projects concerned.
- Comprehensive pre-departure pack and full orientation at the project upon arrival.
- Airport pick up and transfer to project site at start and end of placement.
- Daily transfers as required.
- Full board and lodging including three meals a day.
- Laundry service during the placement or the facility to attend to this personally.
- Assistance and supervision by on-the-ground project staff.
- Support from the UK Amanzi Travel team at all times.
For total clarity, the cost of each volunteer placement generally excludes, flights, travel insurance (this should include cover for repatriation), email/internet and phone calls, visas if required, additional excursions offered whilst at the placement – for example bungee jumping at Victoria Falls and white water rafting in Zambia, spending money (can be minimal as placement fees cover most) and personal travel items, such as clothes.
So, hopefully your question next time, is not Why should I pay to volunteer, but where shall I volunteer and why?

I have never given much thought to how I am feeling. Lately my health has become a subject to be discussed in our home. My son even threatened me today that he would " turn me in" to my son-in-law if I didn't get an antibiotic.
First, my knee, it hurts now and then. Second, the cancer on my nose. Third, my crown and I don't mean on my head. Fourth, my root canal. Fifth, my cold. Now isn't this about enough little problems for now? I can tell you this I now have the new bed I was planning to buy in my mouth. Root canals and crowns add up to a lot of money.
You may be wondering where I am going with this whining? I just want you to be happy where you are, I want to be happy where I am. Things can always get worse. Give thanks everyday for your blessings. God is good all the time.

Andy Blank, Security Practice Solution Director
Should you consider doing anything about Web Application Security? Here's a quick self assessment test for all the many application developers and infrastructure specialists out there. Answer the following questions as honestly as possible.
While building customer web applications (Portals, UI front ends to business processes, SOAInfrastructure, message flows, Web services, etc.), I think of security:
- First, foremost in priority, and continuously throughout!
- As one step in my development process.
- As a separate set of tools (identity management, access management, etc.) handled by a security team.
- Security? Isn't that the job of the imposing looking person in the elevator lobby?
I would guess that the applications I develop/deploy have significant security holes:
- Never! I am a gift to modern development perfection!
- Half the time.
- Three quarters of the time.
- I really have no way of knowing.
Unless you honestly answered 'a' to both questions, you should take a hard look hard look at Web Application Security -- including coding practices, vulnerability testing, managing system access, and system configurations. 75% of all current internet based attacks are made against the application layer. In addition, security companies such as Symantec surmise that up to 80% of existing web applications have at least one significant exploitable vulnerability.
Since joining Prolifics in 1994, Andrew Blank has held key positions such as Senior Technical Support Engineer, Manager of Training Services, Senior Consultant, and Migrations Practice Manager. Currently, as one of Prolifics' Solution Directors and as leader of the Security Practice, Andrew takes part in the design, development and delivery of Prolifics' projects for such clients as Marsh & McLennan, MetLife and UPS. His expertise in J2EE architectures, portal solutions, IT security, and systems monitoring is integral to the company's strategic planning for adoption and use of new product technologies.

A surface marker buoy or SMB is an important safety accessory that can alert boats on the surface of the position of divers so as to avoid contact or reveal the location for pick-up. It provides an easily visible marker that can be seen from a distance when surface conditions are rough or drift is causing the divers to travel a significant distance.
What are the important features?
Visibility – Bright colors, preferably yellow or orange, make the SMB easier to see in contrast to the colors of the water and sky. A reflective strip at the top or running along the side can aid and is particularly useful for night diving.
Size – Ideally it is small and light enough to roll up and store in an easily attached bag or BCD pocket. It should be long enough when inflated to be seen above the water surface conditions. 4-8 feet (120-240 cm) long and 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) wide is the basic range in size available, the point is to select one that it is large enough to be seen from a distance where you will be using it. I recommend one longer than 5 feet (150 cm).
Open-End vs. Closed – An open-ended SMB can be inflated with exhalation bubbles or a second stage regulator. The gas will escape if the opening is above part of the buoy or as it expands when pressure changes on deployment from depth to the surface. A close-ended buoy is inflated by various means and then sealed. Air won't escape unless an air dump valve is part of the design. This avoids rupture by releasing gas through the valve on ascent or when the buoy is full in the original inflation.
Line/Reel – If the SMB is deployed at depth, there will need to be a line attached. For a safety stop, it should be at least 15 feet (5 meters) for that purpose. For decompression depths or deeper deployment, an appropriately longer line is necessary. Particularly when a longer line is used, a reel makes storage and deployment simpler and decreases tangling possibilities.
Attachment Options – A D-ring on the end of the buoy can be useful for attaching a strobe or other light for increased visibility or to clip onto your equipment.
Budget – Pricing starts below $10 for SMBs of the lightest materials and extends to the $100 range based on the strength and quality of the line and reel.

A very strong start for the much-anticipated return of NBC's Hannibal, which surprised just about everyone last year with the depth and breadth of its artistic palette and emotionally involved, nightmarish plots. Its second season premiere included all of those elements and then some, catching viewers up on the current state of things through a series of prison visitations, and one very freaky ear. Hit the jump for why it's a real shame when "my bloodhound went mad."
There were three key things at play in "Kaiseki," each tied in with the past, present and future. Through flashbacks and exposition (through the prison visitations by Jack, Beverly, Hannibal and Alana — each of which illuminated some aspect of the story), we were reminded of where things stand with Will. Locked up and anticipating a trial for Hannibal's crimes, all pegged on him, he's unable to recall the details of these murders, or just about anything, thanks to Hannibal's manipulations and his, y'know, Will's brain inflammation.
But things are coming back, like the ear (which he quite literally regurgitated in the first season finale), and as they do, "there will be a reckoning." Hannibal could have killed Will, and still could, but he feels a connection to him, as he explains to Du Maurier. Has Hannibal ever looked more positively giddy than when Beverly referred to him as "the new Will?" "I looked through Will's eyes and saw death as I imagine Will sees it." While Will is trying to connect with the black stag of his nightmares — Hannibal, of course — Hannibal is missing his … friend isn't the right word. Perhaps Du Maurier said it best: obsession.
There's plenty else happening in the present: Jack is being investigated, begrudgingly, by the FBI, after Alana made a claim about his irresponsibility regarding Will. Frederick, Hannibal's ally, spies on Will, and confirms that his main topic of conversation is Hannibal. And Hannibal's, of course, is Will. "My inner voice sounds like you. And I can't get you out of my head," Will tells him. In any other context that might nearly be romantic. Here, it's terrifying.
One of Hannibal's strongest suits is its incorporation of the surreal, and its luscious production design. Will's "mind palace," to borrow a phrase from Sherlock, is always both beautifully and hauntingly rendered. Alana represented as an inky figure, the rotten feast with the stag beast who, earlier, arose from the water … all of it is a lovingly crafted look inside a mind, in a way that actually captures the strangeness of the subconscious, while still tying it to reality (through the repetition of the stag, and what it means in Will's life).
One plot moving from present to future is that of the Case of the Week, a killer who preserves models of a human color palette in an abandoned silo. Next week it looks like the case progresses, at least in that they find the bodies, and the fact that the show is taking longer than a week to solve it is a good sign. It's a freaky case with, obviously, deep psychological implications that are worth exploring. The fact that both Hannibal and Will are consulting on it — one overtly and one secretly — is also a fresh approach to how the show goes about its crime solving.
And of course, the biggest reveal in "Kaiseki" was the cold open, where, twelve weeks in the future, Jack has apparently changed his tune about Hannibal's guilt, and so naturally Hannibal throws a knife at him, and they fight to the death. When it comes to Hannibal, there's very little that's unexpected when it comes to the future — we know from the source material where the story leads. The cold open reminded us of that, but also the fact that that doesn't really matter. Seeing how the show gets from point A to point B, and the artistic gore that accompanies us on the journey, is the raison d'etre.
Musings and Miscellanea:
— Jack: "I can't quite place the fish…" Hannibal: "He was a flounder." Trolololol!
— Even as a vegetarian, I swear, I would eat any meal Hannibal put in front of me completely willingly. Scrumptious human flesh … or something. Although he does provide vegetarian meals (like to Frederick).
— Happy to see that Alana is taking care of Will's dog pack! Also that she has remained on his side as his champion, even though she thinks him literally guilty, just not mentally responsible for it.
— Beverly collects Hannibal's DNA, but he's more concerned about his suits being commandeered.
— "I am not the intelligent psychopath you are looking for" – Will.
— D'aww, Will made a little joke! "Gone fishin.'"
— The bodies in the silo was a legitimately sick and creepy plot. Eeesh.
— Where are Hannibal's trophies? He's eating them!!

This is a guest post from Dan F. Sullivan…
No, the zombie apocalypse isn't coming. But the odds of you and your family running into a disaster during your lifetime are not small. This is what Dan Sullivan is preaching: down-to-earth preparedness in an increasingly unsafe world….Stay Safe, Dan F. Sullivan Founder and Chief Editor of www.SurvivalSullivan.com
One of the most important things about preparedness and survival is, of course, water. According to the
rule of threes, you can live up 3 days without water and that might seem like a lot but consider what
those last two days will be like…
When you're not properly hydrated, your body is not working at its peak and you really need that in a
survival situation. When everyone around you is screaming, you need your brain in tip top shape to snap
out of the initial shock, to avoid tunnel vision and focus on what's important: getting to safety.
This article is more of a general review of water for survival and preparedness purposes. I won't
necessarily go to deep with this but I will go "wide", hopefully allowing you to uncover some holes in your preps.
Of course, before you actually go ahead and do some of the things I suggest below, you should first
consider having a survival plan that takes into account all the survival basics such as food, medicine, self-
defense, COMSEC and OPSEC.
Needless to say, water has more uses than just hydrating your body, such as:
* cleaning wounds
* cooking
* personal hygiene
* washing clothes
* watering your survival garden
* for your pets and backyard animals
…so make sure you stock up on it as much as you can beforehand. Plus, the moment you hear word of
an emergency and you know you'll be bugging in, one of the first things you should do is turn on every
faucet and gather as much clean water as you can (in your bathtub, buckets, pots, glasses etc.).
OK, first thing's first. Let's start with…
Your Water Stockpile
Your first priority should be having a 72-hour water emergency stockpile, then a 3 week stockpile, a 3
month stockpile and, last but not least, one that will last 1+ years.
For your 3-day stockpile, consider plastic bottles. For your 3+ weeks stockpile, you can start hoarding
water inside 55 gallon BPA-free barrels. For a larger stockpile, you should consider something even
bigger such as a pool or 500 gallon storage tanks.
One of the most important things about stockpiling water is storing it for the long term. Water is good
for an indefinite amount of time as long as you keep it sealed in a cool, dark place.
If you don't have such a place, you can still store it but you may have to rotate your stockpile more
often. You should do it every 6 months, anyway, to make sure you always have water that's "fresh".
Even if it tastes a little stale, you can aerate it before you drink it. just move it from one cup into another
back and forth a few times to allow oxygen to re-enter it.
Consider Alternate Means of Capturing Water
If you have a garden (or even if you live in an apartment), you should consider a rainwater harvesting
system. This will provide you with free water and it's something you can implement today to save
money. Here's a quick video explaining the basics of rainwater harvesting:
Also, if you're thinking of buying land for your bug out retreat, make sure there's water on it so you can
dig a well. If there's a river crossing on it, even better, though being really close to a body of water can
pose security risks post-SHTF.
Water Filtration and Purification
In a survival situation, who knows where you'll end up drinking water from: a lake, a pond or even the
pool at your local gym. I'm not saying this is likely right when chaos breaks loose but what will you do
when your water runs out?
You need ways to purify it and even filter it if it's really dirty. Consider:
* water purification tablets (these can be part of your everyday carry)
* a LifeStraw water filter (should be in any survival bag)
* using a water filter (either one that you've bought or one you've made yourself)
* water distillation and desalination techniques
Here's a quick 2-minute video showing how to turn sea water into drinkable water:
Here's What NOT to Drink
You should never drink sea water. The high levels of salt will actually dehydrate you, meaning the exact
opposite. For each gallon of sea water you drink you need 2 gallons of fresh water to re-hydrate yourself.
Eating snow is another "no-no" when it comes to drinking water. Snow is solid and your body needs to
warm it inside the stomach first. Not only is this NOT healthy but your body will expend a great deal of
energy for the warm-up process and that's something you may not have in a survival situation when
every calorie and every bit of strength counts. It's much better to do it yourself and filter the water
while doing that.
Last but not least, you shouldn't drink your own urine. Your pee contains waste that your body threw
out initially so, needless to say, putting it back in isn't a solution. The only way I know of to use your own
urine in a desperate situation is to pee on a bandana and then wear it. The evaporation will help you cool down.
I'd like to thank Dan for contributing this article to the site. You can check out his site over at www.SurvivalSullivan.com for some good information on common sense prepping and survival.- Higgy

Real-world Minority Report UI
MIT researcher John Underkoffler was a science advisor on Minority Report–then helped build a real computer with an interface like the one in the movie:
I remain skeptical about many of the details shown here, but I always love to see new experiments & to hear the reasoning behind them. [Via]
This immediately reminds me of the Kinect UI demo for the new XBox360 from earlier this week. It was just for navigating media, but the future UI possibilities are huge. And, it's an actual product that you'll be able to actually own this fall.
Yeah, I saw that on TED. Imagine the RSI (repetitive strain injury) of such interfaces.
["Remember the gorilla arm!" –J.]
The last demo was stunning. How do you think the 'character selections' were made? It pulled pretty decent travel mattes of the characters. Was that likely done beforehand?
[I'd be intensely surprised if it weren't. –J.]
One more UI-in-the-movies example: Iron Man 2 had some great sequences, where Stark is exploring the model table to find the new element (Triangulum!).
There are automated feature extraction algorithms based on 3D point clouds and similar, so it is possible to do automatically, but not in realtime. This was definitely precomputed.

"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it." ~~ George W. Bush
All my life, the things I really wanted, had to be budgeted. From my early years, I learned from my Dad and Mom the power of the dollar. It wasn't worth much more in buying power back then than it is now.
You owed your soul to a grocery store that allowed you to spend on the food staples your family needed and come pay day, the money went first to pay them for services rendered.
It is much like that scenario, building an online business. You have to start somewhere, and that somewhere, whether today or tomorrow, will be a web site.
A website is the HOME of your business, the HUB that generates customer
interest to buy or to share or to join whatever it is you have to offer.
You need to budget for yearly domain renewals, monthly hosting costs, extra bandwidth and size as your business grows.
Starting small is the norm. It is easier to grow into something that is manageable. Especially when you find out the traffic to your web site might also affect the ISP package you have.
Budgeting for customers who may be downloading from your site that can cause extra charges from your ISP, is another must. That is your monthly budget to carry the items that will cost you to perform business on line. There are more but those depend on how much larger your business is then we are discussing here.
Income vs outgo decides profit.
Once you know your start up costs, then it is time to strategize on how you will create steady income to cover those costs. This is where most newcomers to internet business fall flat and end up leaving rather than performing positive building actions.
A dollar out means you need to find a way to create two dollars in. The idea of two for one, gives you some play in covering unexpected costs. It also projects a possible profit for you each month that relates in a commisison check.
Example: I join 10khits4unow in order to create lead generation to help
build my downline and my list.
In order to create a commission check, I need to choose an upgrade level.
Then I need to set up an advertising strategy to bring in new subscribers to
my downline and get them on my list. That way the company continues to
grow, my sites are being seen AND I am working for ME in building my list.
Why not use the RSS feed and keep an eye out for the next steps on how to
create working strategies.

Jon had always been a dock rat. As a kid he'd elbow Fletcher out of the way to be first off their dad's Boston whaler, taking that huge leap off the gunnel, rope in hand. He loved lassoing the rope against the firm steel cleat, then reaching up to help his mom off the boat. He fancied himself daring, useful, purposeful. At sailing camp, he won the knot-tying contests, hands down. Swift and decisive, he was, at least in those days. Before his college flameout; before his "honorable" discharge from the Navy.
Now at 31, driving a water taxi between Patriots Point and Charleston six or so times a day, Jon was well on his way to becoming the perfect nobody he was, in fact, fairly content to be.
"That's what you get for naming me after some goddam sappy seagull," he'd tell his parents.
It's true. In 1970, barely a year after his folks were married — Barb wearing a lei and a borrowed ivory gown with gaping angel sleeves, and Frank in a bad tux — Jon(athan) came along, and Barb, having spent a bedridden last three weeks of pregnancy practically memorizing Richard Bach's feel-good fable, insisted on their son's name. Must have been pregnancy hormones, she consoles herself, and the fact that it was such a short read ... He spoke of very simple things — that it is right for a gull to fly, that freedom is the very nature of his being, that whatever stands against that freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form. Good lord. At least she didn't name him Livingston, which had been in the running until Frank let that slip to his mother, who called Barb's mother, who called Barb and put that to bed-rest too.
All that self-actualization whatever stands against freedom crap drove her crazy now. Freedom without a 401K is no freedom at all, is what she tells Jon every chance she gets, though those chances are becoming fewer and far between. Now that Frank had retired from the firm and they'd moved to Daniel Island, they rarely saw their youngest son anymore. When Fletcher and his sweet wife and kids were still in Mt. Pleasant, there were the obligatory Sunday dinners, but finally Jon just quit going. Even his dad's aged bourbon and a decent steak on someone's dime didn't offset the disappointed glares, the barbs.
The harbor's dull pewter sheen on this chilly December Saturday gave Jon a sense of being on solid ground. He liked the tedium of this gig — the on-the-hour regularity, the simple to-and-fro, the ready-made audience of tourists who tipped well on the days he felt personable and spewed off odd Charleston factoids. They called him "Captain J" and treated him with more respect than they would, say, an Uber driver, though really, what was the difference? But Jon didn't care. Life on the water suited him. Hell, the marina with its forest of masts and soft continual chorus of metal clinking on metal, water lapping against the sexy curve of hulls, was as good a place as any to call home, and he'd done his share of wandering. He loved the sturdiness of ropes, the steadiness of tides; he respected the fickle wind and even the dumbass cormorants that never tired of hide-and-seek.
Today the breeze was sullen and the sun had yet to burn through the low gunmetal sky. Jon let the Dorothy Marie's engine idle as he waited for a barge to pass. Only four passengers this morning, guests from the Charleston Harbor Resort hotel, no doubt going to brunch at some pricey downtown restaurant. "I hear roads will be closed and traffic crazy, what with the Holiday Parade and all," the lone guy of the group said as Jon ushered them aboard.
It was the wavy-haired brunette with the turquoise scarf who caught his attention.
"Have we met before?" she asked, squinching her blue eyes just a bit, tilting her head in a cute questioning way. "You look like someone I knew in college." Her friends were huddling up toward the bow.
"Well, I don't know, but I'd sure like to think I'd remember if we had," Jon said, taking off his Red's Ice House billcap, running his hand through his sandy mess of curls. He couldn't recall the last time a girl hit on him. Not an attractive one at least.
"I was here at CofC in the late '80s, early '90s. We're in town for a friend's wedding," she said. "I'm sorry, I'm probably off base — I get this weird feeling when I'm back here, like people and things should be familiar and they are, but then they're not. I'm Ellen, by the way. Ellen McAffrey, in case that rings any bells. I used to work at Honest Johns, back when people bought albums and didn't call 'em 'vinyl.'"
"Hmm, well yeah, I was in town then. At the Citadel for a couple of years. 'Til I got smart. Or kicked out, or both," he said. She laughed, but he wasn't sure if it was to ease his embarrassment, or hers.
"Things sure have changed around here," she said. "I mean, who would think about staying in Mt. Pleasant 15 years ago? And the college fields right across the way..."
"Some things, sure. Others ... not so much. Watch your step there," he said, kicking a crate of water bottles out of the way.
She offered a kind smile, a little wink (he could swear that's what it was) and went to sit with her friends. In less than 15 minutes they were pulling up by the Aquarium, and Jon was sure they'd hop off the boat and on into their lives of mimosas and French toast and chatting knowingly in art galleries in the mystifying way he imagined most of his passengers did. But this Ellen chick waited, held back.
"We'll be taking the 2:30 p.m. taxi back," she said, finally moving toward the exit. "Will you be on duty, Captain?"
"Yes m'am," he answered. Damn straight he would.
"Good. Cause I'm gonna figure this out between now and then," she said. "And if I can't place it, where it is I know you from, then I think maybe I'd like to reacquaint myself anyway. If you don't mind."
She took the offer of his hand as she stepped off the Dorothy Marie, and looked back over her shoulder to flash a flirty smile before skipping down the dock to catch up with her friends. Her scarf a gentle wake trailing behind her. A wake that rocked his boat.
The clouds were still heavy and gray on Jon's passengerless trip back to Patriots Point, but his mood was clear sunshine. He made it in no time, ready to load up the next few travelers and head back across this old channel. Ready to explain, yet again, what Castle Pinckney was. How it dated from the Revolutionary War and later held Civil War POWs, and how that white cross was actually placed there by a Charlestonian who recently died of cancer. A good guy, fellow named Hipp, not even 60 —people loved him. Yes, it's so sad. Yep, so true, you never know what life holds, he'd nod in agreement as he'd steer the water taxi toward their destination. Just never know.
But he knows that endpoint — that dock, where its metal cleats are bolted in, where he has to turn just so to slide into his slip. And he knows the return one. Knows how to navigate to it with his eyes closed. Always the same. Barely a nautical mile apart. Voyages of limited expanse, limited duration, limited expectation. He knows this, and more. He, in fact, knows that wimpy excuse for an author Bach wrote one thing that did always make sense to him, even if his mom once bought it hook, line and sinker, even if Bach had a goddam frickin' seagull say it.
Your eyes don't necessarily see the truth, that righteous, ridiculous bird supposedly said—All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what (or maybe even who?) you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.
At 2 p.m. he throttled up the engine to taxi across the harbor back to Charleston. A cormorant ducked under on the starboard side and resurfaced port, shaking water off his awkward neck like he'd surprised even himself. Crazy bird. So predictably unpredictable. And poor thing, can barely fly.
Stephanie Hunt writes for numerous local, regional, and national publications, rides bikes all over tarnation, and thinks if we did more reading, writing, and riding, most everything would be okay. She and her family live in the Old Village and should take the water taxi more.

TUESDAY, Oct. 7, 2008 (HealthDay News) -- For women worried about the risks of amniocentesis and other currently available tests for chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome, a new, safer test may be on the horizon, researchers say.
Currently, prenatal genetic tests for Down syndrome, including amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, involve insertion of a needle into the uterus. These tests carry a miscarriage risk of about half a percent.
The new technique, described in the Oct. 6 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, takes advantage of fetal DNA in a pregnant woman's blood. The researchers, from Stanford University, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, overcame problems other scientists had in the past by determining there was no need to distinguish between maternal DNA and the tiny bits of fetal DNA that accompany it.
The technique scans for fetal aneuploidy, which is an abnormality in the number of fetal chromosomes. Down syndrome is a type of aneuploidy that arises from an extra copy of chromosome 21, the researchers said.
The researchers used samples from 12 women with aneuploid pregnancies and six with normal pregnancies. They found that the women with the Down syndrome pregnancies had more chromosome 21 fragments in their blood than the women with normal pregnancies.
The test has the potential to detect other forms of aneuploidy, too. And since fetal DNA shows up in maternal blood early in pregnancy, the technique could lead to earlier diagnosis of fetal aneuploidy, the researchers said.
"The earlier you know you've got a fetus with Down syndrome, the better able you are to prepare," Stephen Quake, a professor of bioengineering, said in a Stanford news release.
The next step is to repeat the study in a larger number of women.
"This technique is on the leading edge of a flood of different ways that rapid DNA sequencing will be used in medicine," Quake said.

This morning I did my second Christmas manicure (technically my 3rd, but I didn't get pictures of the last one.) I did a red and gold ruffian manicure for this one, something I have always wanted to do but considered a bit too far into the realm of nail art for my patience. It was actually much easier than I thought, and I think I'm going to have to get more creative with my polish more often!
I used Zoya Ziv for the gold, and this was actually a lot prettier than I expected. I just bought it because I don't really have a good gold in my collection. Ziv is a glittery gold that ends up with a foil-like finish, I used 2 coats and the formula was perfect.
On top of that is Rekha, a deep red jelly. I used 2 coats, and could still see a bit of the gold shining through, which I liked since it gave the red a bit of a shimmer. On it's own, I think I would have needed 3 coats for full coverage. The formula was good on this one too, just a tad thicker than Ziv.
This is my favorite holiday look so far, I can't stop looking at my nails! Tomorrow I'm picking up some hole reinforcers to recreate a mani I saw while browsing nail blogs.

An analyst on MSNBC who tried to torpedo someone President Trump is considering for the Supreme Court by suggesting she has ties to hate groups seems to have engaged in some religious discrimination herself.
"Amy Barrett went to Notre Dame. She is very Catholic," said Zerlina Maxwell on MSNBC's 'Hardball." "She had a famous moment with former Sen. Al Franken during her hearings about how she spoke, essentially, to a hate group without really understanding the full context there."
With "voting rights, women's rights, workers' rights, affirmative action" on the line, Maxwell urged Democrats to do all they can to prevent Republicans from confirming "a very extreme or conservative person like Barrett to the Court."
Maxwell said she is a victim of sexual assault and styles herself as a survivor activist. She writes frequently about rape culture, sexual assault, gender inequity, racism and what constitutes sexual consent. Maxwell worked as a field organizer for the 2008 Barack Obama campaign and as director of progressive media for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016.
The "hate group" to which she refers is the Alliance Defending Freedom, founded in 1993 as a Christian and conservative response to the legal work of the frequently anti-religion legal work of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Alliance Defending Freedom focuses on religious liberty, pro-life and traditional marriage issues. It provided the attorneys who defended Hobby Lobby in the case in which the Supreme Court ruled employers could not be forced to provide birth control in their benefits packages against their religious beliefs. It also recently got the Supreme Court to throw out a California law that required crisis counseling centers to promote abortion on their signs and literature.
Its first case, in 1995, was Rosenberger v. Virginia, in which a Christian newspaper on the campus of the University of Virginia was denied funding that was available to other groups that did not have Christian messages. It also runs the Christmas Project, in which as many as 700 lawyers work through the courts and elsewhere to resist the censorship of Christmas celebrations.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which maintains a list of hate groups in the United States and beyond, designated Alliance Defending Freedom "an anti-LGBT hate group" because of its "work abroad, which has recently included defending – albeit unsuccessfully – European laws requiring the sterilization of transgender citizens seeking administrative recognition of their preferred gender."
The case involved three people who wanted to change the gender listed on their driver's licenses but had not gone through the required sex change and sterilization procedures beforehand as required by law in France and two dozen other European countries.
Alliance Defending Freedom wrote an intervention – similar to a friend-of-the-court brief in the U.S. – that argued to the European Court of Human Rights that states should be allowed to determine their own requirements for granting a change of gender. For this, the Southern Poverty Law Center branded the organization "virulently anti-gay" and added it to the list.
Franken asked Amy Coney Barrett about speaking to the "hate group" during her confirmation hearings to join the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) asked if she could fairly interpret the law given her Catholic "dogma lives loudly within you."
Whoever Trump appoints will replace Anthony Kennedy, who was conservative but seen for decades as the Court's swing vote. Maxwell said the appointment should be another swing vote and not a pro-life, pro-marriage Catholic with seven children.
Trump said he will announce his appointment July 9.

Man arrested in dog fighting case
DETROIT (AP) — A 29-year-old Detroit man has been arrested after authorities found about 30 dogs and equipment used for dog fighting.
The Wayne County prosecutor's office says Sunday that the man is expected to be arraigned today in 36th District Court on animal fighting, cruelty to animals, gun possession and other charges.
Detroit police and the Michigan Humane Society recovered the animals Friday during an investigation at an east side home and three other locations. Authorities say the dogs had injuries consistent with dog fighting.

With the spring semester in full swing this week, many college students have begun to ask themselves (or at least their parents have begun to ask them) that age old question: what am I going to do this summer? Or better yet, if they're graduating in May, what am I going to do after graduation?
Andy Ek, Manager of College Relations for Koch Industries, offers college students pertinent advice and direction related to searching for both full-time jobs and internships.
What is the best advice you have to offer new college graduates about how to prepare for the job search process in January if they plan to graduate in May?
Regardless of timing, I'd encourage all students to self-reflect on their best natural abilities and their specific career interests. What are they good at and what types of roles would they enjoy doing most? I think it's important for each student to research firms that offer careers (not just employment) in their areas of interest. Students will benefit from networking as much as possible (with peers, faculty, employers, etc). The knowledge gained from building these relationships will lead students straight toward the opportunities with the most potential.
If students want to work for Koch as a summer intern, when should they apply? Please describe the application process.
The application process for our summer internship program starts at the beginning of the previous year's fall semester. For example, most students interested in our summer 2016 intern opportunities applied in mid-September 2015 in order to be considered. All applications are available on our recruitment website, www.kochcollegerecruiting.com, and will require completion of an online profile, a short questionnaire related to the role's qualifications, and submission of a resume. Students eventually hired for a position typically receive an on-campus or phone interview, before traveling to a site location for a second interview.
Have you hired an intern who later became a star employee?
Our goal in employing interns is to identify those individuals with the right mix of virtues and talents required to be successful within our firm. We are thankful to have had numerous examples of star employees hired through our college recruiting process, including eight who are current or past presidents of various Koch companies.
Want to learn more about how to connect the dots along the path to job search success? Follow our blog and connect with College Recruiter on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Andy Ek is the Manager of College Relations for Koch Industries, Inc. In this role, Andy is responsible for leading Koch's college recruiting program, managing and developing Koch's relationships with key universities, and partnering with Koch leadership to determine optimal entry-level talent strategies for their organizations.

For youngsters, a slumber party is constantly a preferred option, or you may have a Disney theme, pirates vs. ninjas, or a sports celebration.
2 Compile a guest list.
Invite even more than you have room for. Don't invite some people, and after that add more once individuals begin to RSVP "no." This will make those which just weren't welcomed first feel bad, and it's unpleasant for every person. You're unlikely to have everyone decide ahead, so always welcome a couple of more than you would want at the party. Try to invite people from different groups of close friends so that one person or a few people don't feel excluded. Be clear in the invitation whether friends rate. If you're concerned about having enough food or drinks, ask everybody to bring something. This can connect your style. You might also consider a present swap where every person brings a small present to trade.and do not forget to contact this Valet Parking Nyc service.
3 Have games or other specific things to do prepared.
If everyone's happy with conversation, food, as well as drink, then you may not need them, but it's good to have something ready for a lull in conversation. This can be simple as darts, Twister, or a party board video game like Apples to Apples. Children might enjoy Truth or Dare, doing remodelings, or a cooking project.and contact this Park Plus service.
4 Have a lot of food as well as drink.
People can always take residence leftovers, and also it's better to have excessive than too little. Think about foods that are easy to prepare and don't all require a great deal of work right at once. If you are going to be doing some food prep during the party, make sure you have something very easy to set out first, like party mix, cheese as well as crackers, fruit, or chips. Make sure to have non-alcoholic drink choices, as well as something with high levels of caffeine. If you're offering soft drink, have diet plan and normal options. For a kids' celebration, you may try making a fruit punch or non-alcoholic version of a cocktail for fun.
5 Decorate to highlight your theme.
If you really want to stick to a theme, the decorations should keep your guests in the mood. You can also have interactive elements like a special guest book or themed party games. As an example, for a pirate event you could remove an area of floor area as well as involve the advantages with pillows for plaything sword combating.
Typically decorations at birthday parties are vibrant colours, but it is up to your child!
Use a tiny notebook to monitor everything as well as products recommended over.
Attempt to keep a number of snacks healthy and balanced: don't offer just fast food. Some healthy yet tasty options include "ants on a log" (celery sticks with peanut butter and also raisins), apple slices with caramel,.
as well as cheese and crackers.

2. "DomesticWhere's the wisdom in erasing a loved one's mess,so akin to his signature? Your honor, I only meantto strew the immaculate in his wake. To wipe the pathahead and behind reasonably clean. Futile, yes,but weren't such gestures essential to love's disciplineonce upon a time? Daily, I harvested dropped fruit peelsand socks. I chased him through life with dustpanand broom, smoothed his body dents from the bed,soothed the mud tramped floors. Did I sin in this?Better to leave the habitat sweetly reeking of himthan to spend years scrubbing up evidence of his existence.Archaelogists centuries hence may marvel at such relics:his mustard stained napkins, toothpicks chewedto splinters. Never let it be said that in my zeal to clean I robbed the future's museums. Whoam I to call what flies to either side of the trailhe blazes--half read magazines, cups of scummedover coffee and mashed out cigarettes--dirt?"

Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off.4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you've killed it. If you dont cut, it lives.5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them.6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.7. Even if you don't cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help."

Or they might feel things gently brushing against their bodies, like the caresses of reeds to swimmers in a river. And they will realize that their clothing has become living things. And someone else might feel something scratching in his mouth. He goes to the mirror, opens his mouth: and his tongue is an enormous, live centipede, rubbing its legs together and scraping his palate. He'd like to spit it out, but the centipede is a part of him and he will have to tear it out with his own hands. And a crowd of things will appear for which people will have to find new names, stone eye, great three cornered arm, toe crutch, spider jaw."

There's the song that reminds me of using fake ID to get into a nightclub; and the one that brings back my cousin Isobel's sweet sixteen, where I played Seven Minutes in Heaven with a boy whose breath smelled like tomato soup. If you ask me, music is the language of memory."

29. "The young minister was a very good young man, and tried to do his duty; but he was dreadfully afraid of meeting old Mr. Scott, because he had been told that the old minister was very angry at being set aside, and would likely give him a sound drubbing, if he ever met him. One day the young minister was visiting the Crawfords in Markdale, when they suddenly heard old Mr. Scott's voice in the kitchen. The young minister turned pale as the dead, and implored Mrs. Crawford to hide him. But she couldn't get him out of the room, and all she could do was to hide him in the china closet. The young minister slipped into the china closet, and old Mr. Scott came into the room. He talked very nicely, and read, and prayed. They made very long prayers in those days, you know; and at the end of his prayer he said. 'Oh Lord, bless the poor young man hiding in the closet. Give him courage not to fear the face of man. Make him a burning and a shining light to this sadly abused congregation."

"The short and obscene sentence of Poseidonius about the rubbing together of two small pieces of flesh, which I have seen you copy in your exercise books with the application of a good schoolboy, does no more to define the phenomenon of love than the cord touched by the finger accounts for the infinite miracle of sounds. Such a dictum is less an insult to pleasure than to the flesh itself, that amazing instrument of muscles, blood, and skin, that red-tinged cloud whose lightning is the soul."

Far down the street the levees rise, holding back the sea."

"Jonathan Edwards, the dear old soul, who, if his doctrine is true, is now in heaven rubbing his holy hands with glee, as he hears the cries of the damned, preached this doctrine; and he said: 'Can the believing husband in heaven be happy with his unbelieving wife in hell? Can the believing father in heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in hell? Can the loving wife in heaven be happy with her unbelieving husband in hell?' And he replies: 'I tell you, yea. Such will be their sense of justice, that it will increase rather than diminish their bliss.' There is no wild beast in the jungles of Africa whose reputation would not be tarnished by the expression of such a doctrine.These doctrines have been taught in the name of religion, in the name of universal forgiveness, in the name of infinite love and charity."

The next stood in front of me holding onto my shirt and pulling me close to her as she ground into me seductively. The third danced slowly and seductively with the second girl, giving the girl-on-girl effect. I knew I was going to burst at any moment, so I had to close my eyes and take repeated deep breaths to calm down."What's the matter Aid-man, you feeling a little frustrated?" Dixon boasted from under his lap dancer."Shut up Dixon." Though I didn't really want him to shut up, his teasing was distracting me pretty well. "I'm going to kill you for this.""Oh no little man!" He laughed loudly. "Thank your future wife! That one is on her!" he howled."

While we have been talking of God's laws and seacrets of the earth, a cold fog has come rolling off the sea, pushing through the allys, sliding over the water, rubbing up agienst the cold stone. As I walk the street falls away behind me, the shop's blue awning lost within seconds. People move like ghosts, their voices disconnected from their bodies; as fast as they loom up they dissapear agien. The fog is so dense that by the time I have crossed toward the Merceria, I can barely see the ground under my feet or tell if the gloom is weather of the beginning of dusk."

46. "Balloons"Since Christmas they have lived with us, Guileless and clear, Oval soul-animals, Taking up half the space, Moving and rubbing on the silk Invisible air drifts, Giving a shriek and pop When attacked, then scooting to rest, barely trembling. Yellow cathead, blue fish--- Such queer moons we live with Instead of dead furniture! Straw mats, white walls And these traveling Globes of thin air, red, green, Delighting The heart like wishes or free Peacocks blessing Old ground with a feather Beaten in starry metals. Your small Brother is making His balloon squeak like a cat. Seeming to see A funny pink world he might eat on the other side of it, He bites, Then sits Back, fat jug Contemplating a world clear as water. A red Shred in his little fist."

"She would try to releive the pain of love by first roughly rubbing her dry lips against mine; then my darling would draw away with a nervous toss of her hair, and then again come darkly near and let me feed on her open mouth, while with a generosity that was ready to offer her everything, my heart, my throat, my entrails, I gave her to hold in her awkward fist the sceptre of my passion."

Today's Quote
Alas, everything that men say to one another is alike; the ideas they exchange are almost always the same, in their conversation. But inside all those isolated machines, what hidden recesses, what secret compartments! It is an entire world that each one carries within him, an unknown world that is born and dies in silence! What solitudes all these human bodies are!"
