American Airlines And The Tale Of The $100 "Prepaid Baggage Fee"
Reader Jeremy says that his attempts to be polite and have everything taken care of for someone who was doing his organization a big favor were made more difficult by a secret, unpublished "prepaid baggage fee" that American Airlines attempted to charge him.
Jeremy says:
My organization has a wonderful, articulate but disabled lady who has agreed to speak to a certain state's legislature about patient's rights, a very timely and powerful message in the times where scrutinizing healthcare is front and center in our national debate.
I made the reservations for her to fly down and back on my American Express — something we do all the time — through American Airlines because we are a corporate rewards BusinessExtrAA member. All things being equal, we usually pick American because of the rewards my organization get through flying with them. I clicked through the reservation online, trying to be considerate of her every option — wheelchairs and aisle seats all around, because of her disability. Because of her being generous with her time, we wanted to take care of everything for her. I thought it odd that there wasn't a way to prepay for luggage, but made the reservation anyway and figured I had missed it and could add it later.
As an avid Consumerist reader and a chart nerd, I regularly click through to read what the baggage fees are on certain airlines and get incensed, feeling glad I mostly fly Southwest. I often saw discounts for other airlines for pre-paying for luggage on a reservation, I wondered why I hadn't been given the option to do so with my American Airlines reservation. I logged back into the reservation online and looked for the option to prepay for luggage. Where is it? I searched their website for clues, and, figuring that it was one of the options they don't allow you to change with your reservation online, called the reservations line.
The first woman, Lisa, couldn't answer my question and didn't know how to pre-pay for luggage, and having been a former call center representative myself, I very politely suggested that I hold for a few minutes while she ask the information from a supervisor. She came back a few minutes later and told me — it would be $20, and a $100 pre-payment fee. $120 total. Each way. I blanched, not expecting that answer at all. I very politely suggested that she may have gotten the information wrong and asked where I could find that information online to verify this, but she couldn't answer my question. I then asked to speak to her supervisor directly, because I needed this information documented for possible tax reasons or because of corporate reimbursement policy. I think she was glad to get rid of me.
Pat answered and as a savvy supervisor as a call center can, she listened to my story and answered my questions with politeness and clarity. She repeated the information she had given me about the pre-paid baggage fee – $120 – and I said I could wait on hold for a few minutes while she checked with the people who work at the website helpdesk to see where this fee was published online. A few more minutes on hold and she came back to me, telling me that there is no information published on the aa.com website that mentions this fee. There isn't anywhere this information is published.
I asked why, and by this point Pat and I had developed a polite rapport. She admitted that they must not publish it because of its exorbitance — although I suspect she regretted saying that, because you're trained as a call center supervisor to never directly express your contrary opinion to corporate policy. She didn't have the power to waive the fee, and there were no other options for me. To her credit, she actually said this out loud instead of transferring me to someone else. I decided not to fight it any more.
$120 pre-paid baggage fee! This is not an option for my organization going forward when we have to curry favor for someone to speak for us. I think that my organization's policy on "all things being equal" for choosing American Airlines just got a little more unequal, BusinessExtrAA member or not. As for our disabled passenger – she will get to the event, thanks to pre-paid AmEx cards (wait, can you even use those to pay for luggage??) — but thank god there's no "wheelchair fee" – YET!
Has this happened to anyone else?

Discussion and examination take place at the initial consultation appointment when the patient reports time of onset, duration and intensity of pain in the affected area. The examination explores the pattern of jaw movement to detect sounds and tenderness to gentle pressure.
Further diagnostic testing is indicated if Dr Shodjaee suspects the presence of jaw joint dysfunction. Further testing is designed to properly diagnose the patient's problem and to try to reduce the signs and symptoms of the dysfunction. To determine if the lower jaw and the disc of the TM joints are in the correct position, the following diagnostic tests are used:
Medical and Dental History as well as an examination of the teeth and the dental arches
TMJ Health Questionnaire
Patients are asked questions regarding possible TM dysfunction symptoms. If the patient answers "yes" to any of the symptoms and "yes" to clenching and bruxing, then further tests are required to confirm the presence of a jaw joint problem (TM disorder).
Range of Motion
Patients are checked for how wide they can open, slide left and right, move the jaw forward, and whether or not there is a deviation or deflection of the jaw upon opening. If there is a problem achieving normal range of motion, there is usually a structural problem within the joint.
Muscle Palpation
Excessive muscle contractions and trigger points indicate a problem with the chewing muscles of mastication. This causes the muscles of the head and neck to be sore when pressed by the dentist. This usually means that the lower jaw is not in the correct position.
Since the teeth, jaw joints and muscles can all be involved, treatment for this condition varies. Typically, treatment will involve several phases. The first goal is to relieve the muscle spasm and pain as well as establish normal range of motion of the lower jaw. Then, your dentist must correct the way the teeth fit together. Often a temporary device known as an orthotic or splint is worn over the teeth until the bite is stabilized. Permanent correction may involve selective reshaping of the teeth, building crowns on the teeth, orthodontics or a permanent appliance to cover the teeth. If the jaw joint itself is damaged, it must be specifically treated. Although infrequent, surgery is sometimes required to correct a damaged joint. Ultimately, your dentist will stabilize your bite so that the teeth, muscles and joints all work together without strain.
Once a thorough diagnosis has been made, Dr. Shodjaee and his staff will begin a personalized treatment program. Patients benefit from the non-surgical, conservative treatment our office provides. Individualized therapy will include muscle spasm reduction treatments in conjunction with an easy to wear, comfortable dental orthotic, referred to as a splint. The orthotic covers the lower teeth holding the jaw in proper alignment, reducing tension in the muscles of the jaw joint, allowing healing to take place. Once pain is controlled and the jaw joint is stabilized, the bite is balanced so the teeth, muscles and joints all work together in harmony.
It is important to assess the posture of each patient to determine whether or not the shoulders, pelvis and hips are level. Photos are taken of each patient to check for the above as well as to check for forward head posture. If there is a problem with the shoulders, hips or pelvis or if one leg is longer than the other, then a referral to a chiropractor would be necessary.
To solve the problem of forward head posture which can cause cervical (neck) problems, referral to a dentist or orthodontist who uses functional jaw orthopedic appliances should be made. These appliances such as the Twin Block, MARA or Herbst Appliance successfully reposition the lower jaw forward and eliminate the forward head posture.
1. Phase I Diagnostic Phase – Temporary Solution
Diagnostic Splints
2. Phase II Treatment Phase – Permanent Solution
If there is an improper relationship between the upper and lower jaws and/or the upper and lower teeth, the patient will be required to wear temporary oral appliances (orthotic or splint). This TMJ splint is usually worn over the lower teeth until the bite and position of the lower jaw is stabilized. The objective of the lower splint is to try and establish the correct position of the mandible to the maxilla in three dimensions; namely, transverse, sagittal and vertical. The goal is to try and find a comfortable position for the lower jaw so that the patient can get some relief from the pain and muscle spasms. If the patient has a denture or a partial denture, the splint may be constructed over them similar to the method with natural teeth.
Since most head, neck and shoulder pain originates from muscle instability or swelling and inflammation of the joints, we may employ various physical modalities to treat and help normalize these structures. This includes such things as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), moist heat therapy, vapor coolant sprays, . These joints often get very tight in people with dysfunctions and various types of mobilization or stretching techniques are employed to gain normal function of these tissues.
Sometimes it will be necessary to refer patients to other health care practitioners to help relieve some of the muscle spasms including chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, craniosacral therapists, etc. The patient must be made aware of the fact that, although the majority of patients do improve substantially, there are still a small number of patients whose treatment is not effective. The longer the disc is out of position anteriorly, the more the posterior ligaments get stretched and the more difficult it becomes for the posterior ligaments to reposition the disc to its correct position on the head of the condyle.
Some of these patients may have suffered traumatic injuries such as a blow to the head or have been involved in a car accident, which caused a whiplash injury. If the posterior ligaments, which help position the disc between the condyle and the temporal bone, have become stretched or torn as a result of a serious injury, then the prognosis for successful treatment is diminished. Obviously, the sooner the patient can be treated, the higher the success rate.
Near the end of Phase I, which usually lasts four months, the clinician and the patient will evaluate the success of the treatment. The patient will take the same diagnostic tests, clinical examinations, and fill out the appropriate TMJ progress report to see what improvement there is in the signs and symptoms of TM dysfunction. If the tests reveal that the condyle is related properly to the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone and the disc has been restored to its proper position, we would assume there would be a reduction of the signs and symptoms. A consultation appointment is held with the patient to discuss the success of Phase I and the various options for Phase II.
The vast majority of symptoms must be resolved in Phase I Diagnostic Phase prior to the initiation of Phase II Treatment Phase.
(Permanent Solution)
The important aim of correcting your bite is to ensure optimal long-term health. If you have any of the signs or symptoms mentioned, discuss them with your dentist.
Your health is your most priceless possession. It is worth the investment!

- Do not talk to anyone who is not in your fantasy baseball league about your fantasy team for more then fifteen seconds, maximum. It is permissible to admit you are playing fantasy baseball, and in the unlikely event that your team name is actually funny (Note: "Nelson Cruz For President", "Feel the Bernie Brewers" and "Ben Zobrist Ghazi" are not, in fact, funny) you can mention the name. Once. To go beyond these firm limits is to risk inducing permanent brain lock in any soul unfortunate enough to hear you. And yes, this includes your spouse/partner. Especially your spouse/partner.

On Tanking And The Dream
There's been a lot of fretful talk about "tanking" in baseball in a way that there hasn't necessarily been in other sports. I mean, sure the tire fire that is the Philadelphia 76ers has excited some notice, but only because they've been at it for so long to such little effect. But all of a sudden this year it's baseball's bete noire, the scourge that's sweeping the land and must be stopped so someone can Think About The Children.
(Everything in baseball is about The Children. This sentiment is usually evinced by middle aged men. I leave the irony as an exercise for the student.)

What Your Choice of Pittsburgh Penguins Jersey Is Really Saying For You
NHL replica hockey jerseys are expensive.
Hockey used to have a real working-class ethic in the US; historically when someone says "hockey fan" they think of a guy missing a couple of teeth who has to get up early to unload railcars or something, when in fact there are a lot more NHL fans who look like Margot Robbie than you would imagine.

So How Did We Do?
Yesterday, we made some predictions about the NCAA tournament bracket. Let's see how we did, accuracy-wise:
- St. Mary's and Monmouth got jobbed out of berths, and Wichita State got tossed into a "First Four" game. Meanwhile, questionable major conference selections like Syracuse, Michigan (both of which we called out) and Vanderbilt got in.

Things You Will See On Selection Sunday
We at Sportsthodoxy boldly predict the following things will happen when the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament seedings are announced:
- A deserving mid-major that lost in their conference tournament (Wichita State, Monmouth, St. Mary's - pick one) will get jobbed out of a bid that is instead awarded to a less impressive major conference team (Syracuse, Michigan, South Carolina - pick one?).

On Goose Gossage Getting Steamed
The general reaction to Goose Gossage's off-color, off-topic (he'd initially been asked about Aroldis Chapman) rant about Joey Bats and Bryce Harper and all those disrespectful younger players is "cranky old man yells at damn kids to get off his lawn."
I don't think this is the most accurate way of looking at it.

I've been using the Warburton mouthpiece system for more years than I can remember. For my commercial work ( shows etc. ) I use a 4sv top and a KT backbore…a dynamite combination for lead work! On "C" trumpet I like to soften the edge down with a 4MD and a Q backbore. Of course I use a Warburton Flugel mouthpiece. Piccolo trumpet I use my lead mouthpiece on. The range of timbre and clean slotting of the pieces are fantastic! I have tried a bunch of so called high note mouthpieces in the past….NONE compare to the sound and response that I'm able to get on Warburton pieces. With all the combination tops and backbores that you can mix and match….this is THE PERFECT MOUTHPIECE FOR YOUNG AND OLD PLAYERS!!!

Ranthambhore : 20 day round-up
It is February and Ranthambhore has already started loosing some of its charismatic winter colors. Days are warm and sunny consistently and the dense fog and gloomy weather conditions have given way to golden morning mist over the lakes. All these dramatic changes in the last 20 odd days have had an impact on the sightings of the 2 devoted mothers and their doting cubs. While T19 (Krishna) has been keeping photographers busy around the lakes, T39 (Noor) made a reappearance in the park after a 20 day disappearance and if the weather continues to warm during the days, the sighting trends would surely improve further in the coming days.
The last 20 days, I was focussed on the lakes and had some memorable encounters with the lake denizens. The female cub of Krishna always surprised me with her antics. She is bold and independent and would climb on trees, induce the other siblings to indulge in play fights, stalk deer fawns and one fine afternoon she pulled off a stunner by swimming right across the Rajbagh lake like a Sunderbans tiger in the company of crocodiles who had literally surrounded her during a 50 meters lap. We had named her Machali junior because of a fork mark on her cheek which bears resemblance to her famed grandmom – Machali. She is certainly the dominant princess of the lakes.
News and rumors around new born cubs of T41 have also raised the hopes for summers and overall Ranthambhore is gearing up for some exciting tiger action starting March.
Here is a brief photo-diary of some Krishna and cubs moments in the last fortnight:

The term barley wine was first used to describe Bass No. 1 in 1903. But the roots of this style are much older than that and reach back to the days of parti-gyle brewing. The first runnings of this brewing method were often big and flavorful. These brews were prized and reserved for special occasions and special people. Today barley wine production makes use of modern brewing techniques to give us a wide variety of big, complex ales that can be aged like fine red wine.
Style Point
"1993 was a very good year." Not something that you'd expect to hear about beer but this style can be and often is vintaged. So much is packed into barley wine that it usually takes a few years to mellow out to its best. Like a big red wine, barley wine has huge amounts of its component parts. It contains lots of alcohol, malt flavor, hops aroma and bitterness and it takes time for these elements to blend into the full, mellow, complex drink that this style is made to be.
It might be a bit surprising to learn that there are very little specialty grains in a typical barley wine recipe. It is brewed mostly from pale malt, the same stuff used to make pale ale. The full flavor and rich color come from the amount of grain (often 2x pale ale and 2.5X Pilsner) that's crammed into it and the length of the boil which caramelizes a lot of the sugars, deepening the color and the flavor. It is also heavily hopped to balance, often up to and over 100 IBUs!
Tasting Notes
Barley wine is another example of the extreme drift of a style in America from its English roots. British barley wines are very malty with notes of alcohol and significant but not overwhelming native hops for balance. American versions are just as big in malt flavor and alcohol but there is also a monstrous serving of citrusy American hops so the overwhelming impression is of very bitter hoppiness, especially in younger brews.
Food Pairing
In many ways, barley wine is the cognac of the beer world. It can be successfully paired but it is truly meant to be savored alone.

Press TV- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has eulogized the Iranian firefighters who lost their lives while trying to put out a major fire at the site of a high-rise collapse in downtown Tehran.
The Leader issued a message on Sunday ahead of a funeral procession, which is scheduled to be held in Tehran on Monday for the "brave and faithful" firefighters.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the firefighters ventured into the burning building in order to save the lives and property of their fellow countrymen and sacrificed their lives for this purpose.
Ayatollah Khamenei added that the firefighters once again revived the memories of the sacrifices made by Iranian soldiers during the period of the Sacred Defense, which is a reference to the eight-year Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s.
The Leader emphasized that these firefighters showed that a faithful Iranian possesses a firm and exemplary determination to fulfill his duty and will not hesitate to offer his life on the path of God.
These [firefighters] are martyrs on the path of a difficult service and fulfilling a risky duty and, God willing, will never be forgotten," Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
The iconic Plasco building came down and caused the death of several people, including firefighters, after fire engulfed the top floors of the 17-story building on January 19. The incident caused deep shock and sorrow among people in Iran and across the world. Many officials from different countries also offered their condolences to the Iranian government and people over the tragic incident.
Twenty people, including 16 firefighters, lost their lives after the collapse of the Plasco building.
The spokesman for Tehran Emergency Center, Hassan Abbasi, told IRNA on Friday that the incident also injured 235 people and noted that two fire fighters are still hospitalized.

Newly elected Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad won in some part by using the same electoral tools as George W. Bush and Karl Rove.First of all, while Bush may pretend to be "a friend of the common man," his economic policy, even at the level of rhetoric, is the antithesis of Ahmadinejad's's platform. Bush wouldn't even dream of using the populist rhetoric of taking from the rich and giving to the poor that Ahmadinejad did, let alone putting populist economic policy in practice. The language of Ahmadinejad is precisely of the sort that Bush, as well as the Republican Party in general, abhors as stuff of class warfare from below.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
2. False Consciousness
Ahmadinejad, a rightwinger, poses as a champion of the common people, and once dressed up as a street sweeper. He thus got a lot of working class people to vote for him, even though he will do the bidding of billionaire clerical hardliners who have done little for ordinary folks.
Likewise, George W. Bush affects a southern drawl (he is from Connecticut) and makes himself out to be a friend of the common man, with his "tax cuts" and program to "save" social security. In fact, everything Bush does primarily benefits the rich and actually hurts the interests of workers and farmers. Nevertheless, as with Ahmadinejad, he gets many in the working classes to vote for him. (Juan Cole, "Ahmadinejad Uses Bush's Tactics," Informed Comment, 26 Jun. 2005)
Secondly, both the majority of the American and Iranian working classes knew where Bush and Ahmadinejad stood on class matters and voted accordingly. Take working-class voters in Ohio, the crucial battleground state, last year: "Ohioans whose annual income is less than $50,000 voted against Bush by a margin of 16% (Ohioans whose annual income is $50,000 or more voted for Bush by exactly the same margin), but they constituted only 48% of the Ohioans who voted" ("Ohioans with an Annual Income of Less Than $50,000," Critical Montages, 3 Nov. 2004). Nationwide, 55% of voters with the annual income of less than $50,000 (constituting 45% of those who cast their votes) voted for John F. Kerry and 44% of them voted for Bush; and 43% of voters with the annual income of $50,000 or more (making up 55% of those who cast their votes) voted for Kerry and 56% of them voted for Bush (CNN.com, "Election Results: US President/National/Exit Poll"). While a minority of working-class voters indeed voted for Bush, it's clear that his base is the rich, the majority of working-class America being still opposed to the Republican Party. Not so with Ahmadinejad: "Ahmadinejad's supporters, in contrast [to Ali Akhbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's as well as Bush's], come mostly from the working class, rural poor and unemployed who admire his humility and pledges to redistribute the country's vast oil income" (Paul Hughes, "Iran Run-off: Voters Split along Class Lines," Indian Express, 24 Jun. 2005).
In short, in terms of both political platform and base of support, Ahmadinejad and Bush have nothing in common.
Whether or not Ahmadinejad will deliver on any of his campaign promises is another question, but liberal reformers who can't see the glaring difference between him and Bush can't hope to appeal to workers in either Iran or America.

Billy F. Dial, Jr
He is a part of the finest fighting force,
the world has ever seen,
all know his reputation,
he is a United States Marine.
He is the kid from New York City,
the farm boy from Tennessee,
now he is a member of the chosen few,
not the young kid he used to be.
He is called on to do our country's bid,
in the air, on land and sea,
and pay the price he has to pay,
to keep our nation free.
He wishes no ill toward any man,
yet he will firmly stand his ground,
for his God, his country, his family,
to these he is duty bound.
In wars he has grown weary,
in peacetime he has grown gray,
he has guarded our homeland for many years past,
and he is still here today.
As the world gets more confusing,
one thing, on which you can depend,
there will always be the U.S. Marines,
and our way of life they'll defend.
Should you get the chance to thank them,
and look them in the eye,
don't be surprised if they return your "thanks",
and tell you humbly," Semper Fi."

Total Nigeria's management has said that it will complete the Egina field development project with an initial budget provision of $16 billion by the fourth quarter of 2018.
Egina is the largest investment project currently ongoing in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. The overall progress of the project stands at 88 per cent, according to the company, and a key milestone was achieved on October 31, 2017, as the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO) started its journey to Nigeria.
With expected 200,000 barrels per day to Nigeria's oil production, about 10 per cent of the country's total oil production, Total said Egina project was the first major deepwater development project launched after the enactment of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act of 2010.
The field was discovered by Total Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPNI) in 2003 within the Oil Mining Licence 130 (OML130) some 200 kilometres South of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The field is being developed by TUPNI in partnership with NNPC, CNOOC, SAPETRO and PETROBRAS.

Today I sent out the first all-new weekly newsletter entitled What's New with Emerging Menswear Designers & Trends Around the World? I hope you enjoy it.
If you have not yet subscribed, you may do so by clicking here.
Here is a sneak peak:
It has been an exciting week with fashion weeks and after parties raging around the world. So, what's trending for the upcoming AW/12 and SS/13 seasons? It's what I call "eclectic retroism."
As seen in G.P.P.R.'s AW/12 look (above), we can expect lots of striped chunky knits in a true Brit silhouette with an outdoorsy, almost into the woods feel. Colors long for the calm natural habitat of South American mountain ranges, while the rebellious spirit of the Sixties revives multi-color prints. Deep purples and reds on black and gold with a sparkle of the disco ball reminisce of the Seventies.
For spring/summer 2016, rebellion turns radical as trends go "old school" with floral prints, scoop neck tees, and sun-bleached denims. Colors appear vibrant like the flavors of a refreshing gelato in the summer heat: strawberry, spearmint, melon, limeade, and blueberry. Tailoring is geometric, semi-formal, and sleek, influenced by sportswear and composed of hybrid fabrics.

So what paper does he read?
Former Government Secretary to Ehud Barak, Isaac Herzog, is given space in the Guardian. to denounce the Palestinians' rejection of Barak's generous offer. In his comment he complains of "generalised attacks on Israel in some foreign papers". Needless to say, he doesn't say which papers. It's certainly not the Guardian. and if it's not the Guardian, which is it? The Independent. supports the Sharon plan too. So that leaves out the only two UK papers that ever dare criticise Israel. The New Statesman's never going to stick its neck out again. So which foreign papers is Herzog reading? Unfortunately he doesn't say. If he did I'd subscribe.

Forester, Pacific Northwest Region, R6 (1982-85), Deputy Chief Programs and
Legislation (1985-92), and Deputy Chief, International Forestry (1992-94).
While serving in these positions, Jeff was often engaged in the key policy,
administrative, and legal natural resources issues of the last two decades. As
the first Deputy Chief for International forestry, Jeff led the effort to
define this new mission and positioned the Forest Service to be a key player in
the development of international forest policy during the preparations for the
Earth Summit (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro
in June 1992. Jeff was a member of the U.S.
delegation to UNCED. He also led the U.S.
delegation to the 10th World Forestry Congress in Paris
in 1991. Following retirement Jeff was invited to become a Senior Fellow where
he designed and conducted numerous workshops on leadership ideas for public
land managers facing problems and issues without easy answers.
A lawyer with extensive experience in natural resources and public land law, Jim brings to the Institute a variety of legal experience and expertise in natural resources management. He retired in 2011 from the Department of Agriculture, Office of the General Counsel, where he was USDA's chief attorney in Washington handling real property matters, primarily for the Forest Service. Over his career spanning 36 years, Jim had extensive legislative experience with Congress in public policy formulation, and he was the principal author of many laws affecting the National Forest System. He also has extensive transactional experience involving federal lands including acquisitions, dispositions, title claims, research, and cooperative forestry. A graduate of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Jim received his A.B in 1971 and J.D. in 1974. He is a member of the bar of the District of Columbia.
Harold (Pete) Steen, Senior Fellow (top)
Pete brings to the Pinchot Institute a wealth of experience and scholarship in both history and forestry. Early in his career, he worked in both forest management and forestry research with the USDA Forest Service in the Pacific Northwest. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1969, Pete joined the Forest History Society, serving as its President from 1978-1997. From 1984-1997, he also served as adjunct professor at Duke University in history and at the Nicholas School of the Environment. His research and writing have focused on the history of public lands and the agencies that manage them. Most recently he has begun to investigate the irrigation history of the Rio Grande, which includes State Department involvement that dealt with Mexico's claims to a portion of the water. Steen's major publications include: The U.S. Forest Service: A History (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1976); Origins of the National Forests (Durham, NC: Forest History Society, 1992), and Forest Service Research: Finding Answers to Conservation's Questions (Durham, NC: Forest History Society, 1998), The Conservation Diaries of Gifford Pinchot (Forest History Society/Pinchot Institute for Conservation, 2001), Jack Ward Thomas: The Journals of a Forest Service Chief (Forest History Society/University of Washington Press, 2004), and The Chiefs Remember: The Forest Service: 1952-2001 (Forest History Society, 2004).

And Apple Pushes Back…CLASSICS app for iPhone
Well that didn't take long. Searching around for the Amazon Kindle 2 information, I came across an app for the iPhone called 'Classics', a reader application for your iPhone that allows you to download and read some of the great literary classics in the world. Books like: 'Call of the Wild' 'Huckleberry Finn' 'Pride and Prejudice' 'Treasure Island' and, my personal favorite, 'Paradise Lost', are available to download and read on your iPhone. The newest version includes, 'Draclua' 'Frankenstein' and 'The Count of Monte Cristo' as well. Apple is making an effort to sell the app by lowering the price 40% to $2.99
One cool feature of the Classics app is that Classics will automatically remember where you last finished reading and will flip to that page when you reopen the app. The Classics GUI is beautiful and attractive. But there are some issues. Macworld comments, "Although the text in Classics is easy to read, scalable type and customizable fonts would be useful features. So would a landscape viewing option. As the Classics library expands, there should be a way to remove certain titles from the shelves when memory becomes an issue. For that matter, why not let users add their own books?"
I think there is still a lot of fine tuning to do with the app, and still a long ways off from competing with the Kindle, but Apple is on the right track and the iPhone could be the right interface to begin pushing eBooks and other apps similar to it. So while I'm a big fan of pulling books down off my shelf in my library and sitting by the fire, book in hand, reading like they did in the dark ages (ten years ago) Classics for the iPhone could be the new wave of the future.
What do you think of the Classics app? Leave a comment in our comments section.

Role: Design Director
I joined HackerRank before it existed. Its parent company, Interviewstreet, had a strong product but lacked the engagement to grow a community and capture the market. A few months into my tenure, our CEO presented the idea of HackerRank, a community for programmers and companies that want to connect with them.
Over three years, I helped conceptualize and validate the product, built and maintained our design system and pattern library, and helped grow the product to over a million uses. I touched every part of the product development process (even pushing a few lines of Ruby to production) and left a far stronger and capable product designer than I arrived.
Hiring was broken. Companies were facing a programmer shortage amidst high demand, and programmers, especially those located outside of Silicon Valley, struggled to stand out and be discovered for these positions. Companies looking for tech talent wasted hundreds of hours interviewing and assessing programming candidates who couldn't perform at the level required by the job. Smaller companies had a harder time attracting top talent (even if they were solving really cool problems).
I'm not a programmer, and I've never hired programmers, so I needed to understand who these people were whose problems my design would solve. I started internally. I wanted to know what the developers on our team found most engaging, and what they didn't like, about existing programming sites. I read countless threads on Quora and HackerNews and Reddit to get anecdotal information. I spoke to as many different types of programmers as I could.
Ultimately, I distinguished 4 different types of users, exhibited by these personas:
HR recruiter for Fortune 500 corporation. She is short on time and wastes hundreds of hours recruiting and screening programmers, but most are under-qualified.
Senior Engineer and Team Lead. He is responsible for writing programming tests for potential applicants and checking their code. He also enjoys coding competitively for fun.
Highly-ranked programmer employed in Asia (and loves his job). He participates in Hackathons for fun and is proud of his high ranking. He continues to push himself to get better.
Junior Computer Sciences major at a U.S. college looking for an internship or a job. She is comfortable with mid-level challenges in one or two languages but wants to reach expert status.
I was lucky to work with a team with diverse skills but a united vision and enthusiasm for HackerRank. Product discovery was an ongoing process. Armed with the flexible, living style guide I built, it was easy to be agile and explore concepts quickly to determine their value.
I often designed in code. This made it easier to communicate key interactions and get live feedback. It also sped up the product development process. When confronted with a new problem to solve, I could quickly sketch out a concept, get buy in from stakeholders, wire up the front-end, and work with a developer to bring the markup to life, and push our solution to production to see if it changed our metrics or solved usability issues.
Our team was great at staying attached to a problem instead of a solution. Through a combination of user testing and validating through metrics and feedback, many of our major engagement flows went through several stages of improvement before reaching a successful state.
One example of how we practiced this was in the development of our code editor. People were frustrated by the lack of options in our code editor and it was confusing how to change editor mode.
After some user and usability testing to understand what people expected from the code editor, we released our changes. Users could easily modify options that you would find in a standard code editor, including changing editor mode, allow auto-complete, etc.
The problem is I went way too far in the other direction. We added so many options that we had to nest them in a menu (that was poorly label). We also added version control, which lots of people asked for and sounded cool but ended up just confusing people.
Turns out the solution people needed was some basic functionality, and an easy way to upload code from their default code editor. All of the super, fancy stuff like code versioning was handled by the products that already did it best. We integrated with the experience people already enjoyed, giving them full control over their code solutions (and a more intuitive interface).
I owned the organization and structure of HackerRank's CSS/SCSS codebase and patterns. While our goal was to reach the MVP (minimal viable product) as quickly as possible, writing CSS for a large application requires constant attention to scalability, optimality, and coherency.
I started by designing an exhaustive styleguide, then structured our pattern library using reusable variables and mixins to keep things simple. My OOCSS approach was similar to the atomic framework, using flexible modules defined by their parts and not their location.

text: Release Time: 19:30 New York time (EST)Primary currency pair: AUD/USDForecast: 0.4Prior: 0.4LT1 (Lower Trigger 1): -0.2 [SELL]UT1 (Upper Trigger 1): +0.2 [BUY]Safety: 1Unfortunately, there are three different CPI Q/Q versions coming out, and they are not released at the same time.Because we don't know for sure which one will come out first, we do know based on past performance MOST LIKELY it will Australian CPI Trimmed Mean (Q/Q). If it's not going to be that, then my SECOND choice based on past performance would be CPI (Q/Q) (but it could be any one of the CPI reports). The overall strategy is to set up the triggers on both of these reports (or even all three Q/Q reports) and act on the one that comes first without waiting for the other one.If you use SNW Elite, set it up this way:1 - Set up AU CPI Trimmed Q/Q as in MRRM Report Group 1 and set it as a Primary, and then enter triggers. 2 - Set up AU CPI (Q/Q) in MRRM Report Group 2 and Primary, and enter triggers. 3 - Set up same mouse click actions for both groups, MRRM Group 1 *AND* MRRM Group 2. At the end of the mouse click sequence in each Group, add an additional click to click on "Hyper Click Enabled" (big green button, also known as Panic Stop) so when the first report is released the last click assigned to it will essentially disable the other report. Also set up no-trade click on Panic Stop so when the second report is released and still deviates, you are not late for the party because even though the first one was a no trade, it could still cause a price action, especially if it was just shy by 0.1 to hit the trigger.SNW Professional has a somewhat easier setup. Just enter triggers on both (or even all three) and set up same mouse click action on each and every one, with an additional click on a Panic stop at the end of the sequence so when the next report is released, you don't get clicks again. Also, set up no-trade clicks on Panic Stop so when the next one is released, it will no longer work as you would be late to the party so you don't really want to enter.Still, pay attention to the price action and be prepared to abort.AU CPI Trimmed Mean (Q/Q): Based on 23 estimates, the median estimate is 0.4% and mean (average) estimate is 0.43%. The highest estimate is 0.9 (one vote), and then 0.5% (five votes), 0.4% (15 estimates) and finally the lowest estimate is 0.3% (two estimates). One standard deviation is +/- 0.11%.AU CPI (Q/Q): Based on 28 estimates, median estimate is 0.2% and the average estimate is 0.23%. The highest estimate is 1.0% (one vote), then 0.6 (one vote), 0.5% (three estimates), then 0.3% (four votes), 0.2% (seven votes), 0.1% (seven votes) and finally 0.0% (five estimates). One standard deviation is +/- 0.22%.AU CPI Weighted Median (Q/Q): Based on 22 estimates, the median estimate is 0.4% and the mean (average) estimate is 0.44%. The highest estimate is 0.9% (one vote), then 0.5% (six estimates), 0.4% (12 estimates), and finally the lowest estimate is 0.3% (three votes). One standard deviation is +/- 0.12%.If the Australian Trimmed CPI Q/Q comes out at 0.2 or less ( -0.2 trigger), AUD/USD should go down by about 35 pips. If it comes out at 0.6 or higher ( +0.2 trigger), AUD/USD should go up by about 30 pips.If the Australian CPI (Q/Q) comes out at 0.0 or less ( -0.2 trigger), AUD/USD should go down by about 35 pips. If it comes out at 0.4 or higher ( +0.2 trigger), AUD/USD should go up by about 30 pips. As stated above, there are a few variations of this report coming out almost (but not exactly) at the same time, and of course, it matters if they conflict or support each other. Moreover, it is very hard to say which one is the most important. Therefore, I would trade the very first one that is released.Again, there is a real possibility for conflict or that the number you are focused on would be released a few milliseconds later comparing to the others. Additionally, sometimes Australian reports are leaked a few seconds before they are officially released to major news providers.As always, be careful with the CPI numbers. Sometimes you might see weird price action.

Comic artist Kate (Allen) Lacour created these symmetrical anatomical diagrams, rendered in pen and ink and painted in food coloring. This series comes as a side project to her popular comics, one of which, called Milk Teeth, features anatomical diagrams and wordless vignettes of mythical creatures. Her comics and anatomical renderings have been called inventive, bizarre, visceral, grim, and disturbingly brilliant. I already have my copy ordered!

Lady Gaga is being lined up to play Amy Winehouse in a Hollywood biopic, according to tabloid reports today (August 5).
According to a 'Hollywood insider' in today's Daily Star, Gaga has called the part 'the only role' for her'.
The 'insider' told the paper:
Lady Gaga worshipped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen. She'd be spot on performing Amy's songs and has got the right look and bolshy attitude.
They continued:
Gaga's been itching to make the transition from music into movies and sees this as the ideal role to launch her film career. Gaga's management team had been discussing possible film ventures before Amy's untimely death. But there's only ever been one role she wants and that's to play Amy.
Lady Gaga paid tribute to the singer earlier this week, revealing that she was "unable to speak for 48 hours" after hearing of Winehouse's death.
These are the first reports that any biopic is being planned, with no studio names or producers being named as part of any such project.

Although there have been bass, guitar and keys on past standouts like Smokers Delight and Carboot Soul, Feelin Good has even more bells and whistles: it's built from the bottom up, with real musicians playing real instruments, and in places is genuinely orchestral. Trumpets, drums, vocals, violins, flutes, saxophones and cellos make for a much fuller, richer and more authentic sound than ever before. Of course, for such a student of vinyl cultures like dub, funk and soul, it's no wonder every track comes coated in humid crackles and aged imperfections, all of which add to the earthiness of the experience.
There's proper songwriting on offer here, too, with much of it moving away from the hip-hop structures of Evelyn's last few albums. Instead, Feelin Good drifts though Afro-Cuban shuffles on "Be, I Do," squelchy reggae on "Now Is The Time" and deconstructed Balearic bliss on "There 4U." There are also more energetic tracks, like the ramshackle loop-funk of "Tapestry," and the wonky, fat-bottomed house swagger of "Eye (Can't See)."
But it's at his haziest and most vulnerable that Nightmares On Wax is most definitive. Opener "So We Are Here" is as joyous as the first days of spring, and yet it's also tinged with the sadness of a departing love. "Master Plan" is so loveably louche you feel it might collapse right into the sofa. With such worldly influences and after so long in the game, many other artists might be turning in commercial chill-out by now. But, thankfully, Nightmares On Wax is enjoying himself far too much for that.

It looks like roughing it, but hey, someone has to do it, right?ReplyDelete
One of those mansions is entirely empty, and has been for some time. I would think anyone born into that family would be rather lonely. ;)ReplyDelete
I couldn't imagine living in something that huge but if you're born in to a family that lives in one of those mansions, I guess you wouldn't know what its like to not live in one :)ReplyDelete

The following news release was distributed by NCDOT regarding public meetings on the I-485 Express Lanes project:
RALEIGH – Each day, approximately 80,000 to 146,000 vehicles travel along I-485 between I-77 and U.S. 74 (Independence Boulevard), making it a heavily congested area.
As a way to offer drivers the option of more reliable travel times, plans are being finalized in the Charlotte area on the proposed I-485 Express Lanes project, which was requested by the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization. The project would serve as part of a larger network of express lanes.
On July 25 and 26 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., the N.C. Department of Transportation and Turnpike Authority will hold two open house-style meetings to update the public on the project and gather input. Interested residents are invited to stop by one or both meetings to learn more information about the project, ask questions and provide feedback.
Wednesday, July 25, 2018
4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
CPCC Levine Campus – Building II
2800 Campus Ridge Road
Matthews, NC 28105
Thursday, July 26, 2018
4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Pineville United Methodist Church
110 S. Polk Street
Pineville, NC 28134
For anyone unable to attend these sessions, the same information is online at https://publicinput.com/I-485-Charlotte. Residents can also ask questions and submit feedback through this website.
Upon final approval by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), this project will add an express lane in the median in each direction on I-485 between I-77 and U.S. 74 (Independence Boulevard) to improve traffic flow in this critical transportation corridor. One general purpose lane will also be added between Rea Road and Providence Road. None of the existing lanes will be tolled.
The State of North Carolina will own the I-485 express lanes. The N.C. Turnpike Authority and the N.C. Department of Transportation are in charge of the planning, construction and maintenance of the express lanes. Toll accounts will be administered by the N.C. Turnpike Authority.
To further improve traffic flow in the corridor, three other projects will also be built at the same time as the I-485 express lanes project. These include:
he required environmental documentation for this project is anticipated to be approved by FHWA later this summer. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2019 and the project is expected to open to traffic in 2022.
NCDOT will provide auxiliary aids and services under the Americans with Disabilities Act for disabled persons who wish to participate in these meetings. Anyone requiring special services should contact Diane Wilson, senior public involvement officer at firstname.lastname@example.com or (919) 707-6073.

Drewe enjoyed a football career spanning 17 years and taking in 22 clubs, which started at Norwich City and included successful spells with Peterborough United, Kidderminster Harriers and Rushden & Diamonds.
In total the centre forward made over 540 senior appearances, scoring 116 goals.
But for much of his career Broughton, was plagued with self-doubt and when his form dipped it had a big impact on his mental health.
But after calling time on his career in 2011 to seek help Drewe Broughton checked into Sporting Chance, which proved to be a turning point in his life.
Drewe transformed his life and now runs thriving businesses that help elite athletes with both the physical and emotional wellbeing as well as being a leading mental health campaigner.
