Over 800 employees to move "beyond the cubicle" into collaborative new office space by early 2014
PHILADELPHIA, PA –Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), a nonprofit public health institute that creates and sustains healthier communities, has announced that the company's headquarters will move from their current location at 260 South Broad Street to 1500 Market Street in early 2014. Designed to encourage collaboration and innovation, the new space will occupy approximately 125,000 square feet on five floors of the building.
"With the new space, we have taken cutting-edge ideas that work in the business world and applied them to the nonprofit environment. The design reflects the way people work today and encourages a culture of collaboration, creativity and efficiency," said Richard Cohen, CEO of PHMC. "The new environment will transform the way we work in a way that no other nonprofit in the region has done before. I'm very excited about the possibilities and what this means for the future of PHMC."
Since its inception in 1972, PHMC's business has increased to approximately $175 million, with 350 programs. The new space will not only meet the increased capacity needs of the nonprofit, but will also meet the changing workspace needs of its employees. Results of a recent PHMC survey revealed that employees spend 41 percent of their time working with others and 50 percent of employees are losing at least one hour every day due to workplace issues, such as distractions in or around the work area, access to technology, finding co-workers and finding an appropriate meeting space.
To address these issues, PHMC partnered with architectural design firm Bradberry & Kheradi, global office furniture industry leader Steelcase, and Corporate Interiors to create a truly dynamic work environment that integrates design with culture change. The new space will include an open floor plan allowing for easy access to coworkers and cutting-edge technology for increased mobility and collaboration. Twenty-five percent of the space will be dedicated to shared work spaces and amenities, including lounge areas, impromptu meeting space, support services, and the PHMC "Town Square" featuring a café and fitness center.
In addition, the new space will encourage environmentally friendly and efficient practices, including shared, on-demand printing and decreased use of paper products in its food services, among others. Employees will be issued laptops with docking stations to encourage screen sharing rather than printing, and multi-function devices (print, scan, copy, fax) will be located on each floor, rather than in individual workspaces.
Since 1972, PHMC has served the Greater Philadelphia region as a facilitator, developer, intermediary, manager, advocate and innovator in the field of public health. The organization's combined annual impact on the Philadelphia community's economic vitality is estimated to be in the range of $500 million, which includes $75 million paid to PHMC and affiliate employees, $46 million paid to those living in the City of Philadelphia and $2 million in total wage taxes paid to the City of Philadelphia through PHMC and affiliate salaries.
Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) is a nonprofit public health institute that creates and sustains healthier communities. PHMC uses best practices to improve community health through direct service, partnership, innovation, policy, research, technical assistance and a prepared workforce. PHMC has served the region since 1972. For more information on PHMC, visit http://www.phmc.org

It's Tuesday afternoon, and The Care Ministry at Restoration Church in the DallasFort Worth Metroplex bustles with activity. Nearly a dozen volunteers bag free groceries for locals who wait patiently in line. Cereal, orange juice, powdered milk, yogurt, bread, pastries, pizza, and fresh carrots and asparagus are among this day's selections.
The Care Ministry distributes food every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and an evangelistic service is provided beforehand for those who wish to attend. Their chaplain is the woman who started the ministry 14 years ago from the trunk of her car--Jackie Holland.
One of the volunteers--David Anderson, who first worked at The Care Ministry as part of his court-ordered sentence in a legal case--continues to freely give his time, even though his attendance no longer is mandatory. He enjoys hearing what Jackie has to say.
"She's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside," Anderson says.

Anderson's right. Jackie Holland, 55, is attractive--the spitting image of actress Loni Anderson. She has big "Texas" hair and wears flamboyant jewelry. Beneath the exterior, however, is a compassionate, Texas-sized heart that once was broken almost beyond repair.
Looking for Love
In All the Wrong Places
It's hard to understand how Jackie, who grew up in a loving Christian home, could have taken a wrong turn. She became a Christian at age 12 in Avery, Texas, and her family attended church regularly.
At 14 she began dating the high school basketball star, Chuck, and married him a year later. Young and naive, she truly thought he was her ticket to happiness.
Two months after getting married, Jackie became pregnant, and Chuck started drinking regularly. Saying the wrong thing would send him into a fury. Jackie came face to face with domestic violence but could not talk openly about it, despite her physical and emotional pain.
By the age of 17, Jackie was the mother of a son and daughter--Michael and Charlsey. Michael was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 3, and Jackie's world began to cave in.
Meanwhile, Chuck was ignoring his fatherly duties. He would come home late at night, and Jackie began to suspect he was cheating on her.
The morning after what Jackie believed was one of Chuck's all-night flings, she found a phone number in his dresser drawer and dialed it to test her suspicions. A young woman answered, and Jackie asked if Chuck was there. "No, he's out with the guys getting some more beer," the woman said.
Jackie told her that she was a friend of Chuck's and asked if she could come over to party with them. The woman gave her the location, and Jackie made the long walk--wearing high-heel shoes.
Chuck wasn't there when she arrived, but the young woman was. She was drunk and bragged about sleeping with Chuck.
Jackie returned home and was soon "greeted" by her husband. Instead of being remorseful, Chuck beat her in front of their children. Jackie somehow convinced herself that the altercation must have been her fault.
Soon afterward, a bone spur caused by Jackie's long trek in heels became unbearably painful, and she went to a doctor. He treated her foot, and suspecting that she was being abused, he asked her several questions. For the first time, Jackie told someone about all the beatings.
"You need to leave now," her doctor advised her, "for your safety and your children's."
Jackie took his advice. At age 19, she made a clean break from Chuck and moved to Minneapolis at the invitation of her sister and brother-in-law.
However, Jackie wasn't living for Jesus, and the new arrangement didn't last for long. She soon moved back to Texas, feeling like a washed-up old woman and a failure. But she hadn't given up on finding Mr. Right.
This time she thought she found him at a Texas rodeo. His name was Fred, and he was as big as a football linebacker. After a two-week romance, they visited a justice of the peace and were married.
Two months into the marriage, Fred returned early from a business trip and blew up at Jackie for no apparent reason. Indignant, she told him if he didn't apologize, she would move out.
Her demand didn't go over well at all. Fred picked her up and threw her outside of their mobile home. Then he pinned her to the ground and beat her severely. Jackie truly believed she was going to die.
Trying to sound like she really meant it, she cried out, "Fred, I forgive you!" Those were the magic words. In response, he collapsed on top of her, sobbing and telling her he didn't mean to hurt her.
Staggering into the house, Jackie went into the bathroom and couldn't believe the person staring back at her in the mirror. Her face was a bloody mess. Minutes later, she heard Fred on the phone and decided this was her opportunity to escape.
She drove straight to the police station and filed charges. The nightmare was over, and she prayed she would never see Fred again.
After two years of going to clubs, Jackie married a country singer named Mike. Although he wasn't abusive, he hadn't gotten over the breakup with his ex-wife, "Boots," and he missed his children.
One day before Jackie left to take the state test to get her cosmetology license, she told him, "When I get back, I don't want to hear anymore about Boots and the boys, or it's over."
She returned to discover that Mike was gone. The loss broke her heart.
To escape the pain, Jackie began to go out almost every night. Although she distrusted men, she was addicted to the "chase."
"I enjoyed getting dressed up because that made me feel good about myself. For someone to tell me I looked pretty and then to pursue me also made me feel good. I became all tangled up in a web I had created myself," she says.
Finally, she found a man named Sonny who was handsome, treated her with respect and seemed to be loaded with money. In the spring of 1973 Jackie married for the fourth time in 12 years. Sonny bought her a lovely home, and she liked being the well-dressed wife of a successful businessman.
Four months into her marriage, she became pregnant again. When Jackie gave birth to son Howard, Charlsey was 10, and Michael was 12.
Sonny's ex-wife called one week after Howard was born and asked Sonny to take custody of his kids--Sonny Jr., 5, and Ann, 3. Much to Jackie's dismay, Sonny agreed, and Jackie, then 28, suddenly became the mother of five.
Over time, Jackie's marital bliss with Sonny turned into marital abuse. The emotional pain was almost worse than the physical beatings, and she had convinced herself that she deserved it.
For some time, Jackie had realized that Sonny was being unfaithful. He would return in the wee hours of the morning with the scent of perfume on his jacket. Sometimes he would even come home late at night with friends and send Jackie to her room like a child.
Overwhelmed and at an all-time low, Jackie couldn't take any more. The next time Sonny came home after being out all night, Jackie searched his pockets while he showered. She found a book of matches with a woman's name and phone number written on the inside cover.
Filled with rage, she went to the kitchen and found her .25-caliber pistol. She wasted no time venting her anger.
First, she aimed the gun at their china cabinet and fired. Sonny stood by and watched, simply yelling, "You broke the dish!" His reaction made her furious.
As Sonny walked toward the door, she pointed the gun at him. He ignored her. Jackie pulled the trigger, and Sonny collapsed.
Walking over to him, she boldly asked him, "Did you dance with her?"
Luckily, Sonny shook his head no.
While Sonny was taken to a hospital, Jackie was escorted to jail. Miraculously, her husband didn't press charges, and she was free to go home after one night.
A few days later Sonny came home from the hospital. Jackie nursed him back to health, still trying to hold on to the marriage.
Not long after the shooting, they moved to another house. Jackie believed the move represented a fresh start in the couple's relationship. Sonny was making good money, and they climbed their way up the Dallas social ladder.
Inside, however, the status wasn't helping. Jackie was miserable.
From Heartache to Hope
In 1980, Jackie began sending the children to a nearby Baptist church. Charlsey was baptized when she was 13, and her enthusiasm for the Lord made Jackie feel guilty and ashamed. Jackie says it was the church's bus ministry that led her back to the Lord.
"Scripture says a little child will lead them--and that was so true," she says.
By 1984, Jackie not only was attending church regularly, but she also was going to Bible confer ences and Bible studies, watching Christian television, and putting Jesus pictures all over her home.
"I was panting after the Lord. Something was stirring in me--a call to tell people about Jesus," she says.
Several months later, Jackie found Sonny at a hotel with another woman. Jackie was glad God intervened and kept her from killing both of them. Sonny moved out.
Then one day, not long after the hotel episode, he called and said he had accepted Christ. Jackie didn't want to hear it, but she believed God was telling her to give him a second chance.
Only by God's grace was she able to ask him to move back in the house. He did, and over the next year, he became zealous for Christ.
But to her dismay, his changes were short-lived. Sonny had decided that he couldn't be a Christian and make money at the same time. So he left Texas to work for an oil company in another state, and once a month he came home to visit the family.
In 1985, Jackie discovered a new church, Lake County-Midcities, which later was renamed Restoration Church. Shortly after becoming involved, Jackie set up an appointment with the pastor, Doug White.
"I want to do God's work--to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, help hurting women," she told him.
White prayed that God would open doors to help her fulfill God's call. That prayer was answered on Father's Day 1987 when Jackie's son Howard, then 12, discovered all kinds of discarded fruits and vegetables at a specialty store near her parents' home.
He took Jackie to the site, and, sure enough, there was box after box of perfectly good food. Jackie began making regular trips back to the restaurant, and each time she packed her car full of groceries. Sometimes she delivered the food to apartments, and other days she would give it out at a coin laundry.
While Jackie's ministry was budding, her marriage was coming to an end. She learned that Sonny was living with a co-worker in Houston and that his lover was pregnant. Jackie had given 15 years to the marriage and wanted desperately for it to work, but she sensed in her heart that Sonny had made his choice.
Focusing on her journey to recovery, Jackie put all of her energy into the food ministry. She approached store managers and asked if she could pick up their discarded food. A man donated his van to Jackie's outreach, and her assistant named it "God's Chariot."
The ministry grew to the point where Jackie believed she needed to seek financial help from her pastor and elders. They met, and she told them how much money was required to operate the ministry.
They agreed to her request, and what had been known as The Widow's Mite was renamed The Care Ministry. Restoration Church serves today as Jackie's spiritual covering.
A Wounded Healer
Several years ago, partly as a result of counseling topless dancers through The Care Ministry, Jackie expanded her outreach. She set up a separate office with a phone line that could be used as a hot line for women trapped in adult entertainment.
"We get a lot of calls from women wanting to get out of the sex clubs," she says. "Scripture says, 'You older women teach the younger women,' and that's what I've been called to do. I believe these young women can relate to me and the life I've led."
One of the women, Madeleine, saw Jackie on a national Christian TV network and wrote to her. She got an immediate response from Jackie.
"Jackie never judged me. She loved and encouraged me. She gave me hope," Madeleine told Charisma.
Madeleine's father, a Baptist pastor, sexually abused her when she was growing up. She never could talk to her mother about it, but she has poured out her heart to Jackie.
To help her get out of the adult industry, Jackie paid for Madeleine to take computer classes. Today Madeleine has a respectable office job in Fort Worth, Texas.
Almost 14 years ago, Jackie never dreamed she would still be giving food to the poor today. She didn't expect to still be single either.
"I'm the kind of woman who has always needed a man. It's a miracle that I've been able to remain single," she says.
Every day, Jackie talks to people who are so trapped and beaten down by life that they do not know how to get out of the pit. She shares with them her story of restoration and victory, giving them hope to make it through another day.
Jackie even found out earlier this year that her new pastor at Restoration Church, Bobby Treece, used to come to The Care Ministry for free groceries.
"How did I know back then that [from giving away discarded food] and out of my broken life, God would have me feeding my next pastor?" she asks.
A woman of faith and determination, Jackie is making up for lost time.
"I have discovered that marriage is not the optimal goal in life. If it happens, then that's great. But I know I'm doing what God has called me to do."
Carol Chapman Stertzer is a former assistant editor of Charisma who now lives near Dallas. Jackie Holland has recently written a book about her spiritual journey, Exposed Heart (Bridge-Logos).

Gazette columnist Joshua Rozenberg and the former chair of the Law Society's human rights committee Sara Chandler are among the eight honorary QCs appointed today in recognition of their contribution to the law outside courtrooms.
Rozenberg, who is a non-practising solicitor, has been recommended for his work as the 'pre-eminent legal analyst of modern times'. He is a freelance writer and broadcaster for publications including the Law Society Gazette.
He also presents the Law in Action on Radio 4 and has four published books.
Chandler (pictured), a housing solicitor and a visiting professor at London South Bank University, has been recommended for her work on pro bono and human rights.
She has been instrumental in developing the concept of clinical legal education, where students give pro bono advice to the public, under the guidance of qualified lawyers. She is a former chair of the Law Society's human rights committee and has represented solicitors in the voluntary sector at the Law Society since 2002.
They are among six solicitors who have been awarded the honorary title.
Others include Professor Robert Blackburn, who is a professor of constitutional law at King's College, London. He has been recommended for his constitutional law work and in particular for his report on how a written constitution might work.
Anne-Marie Hutchinson OBE, a partner at family firm Dawson Cornwell and a specialist in international children's cases, was nominated partly due to her efforts to get countries to sign up to the Hague Convention.
Professor Ian Scott, from the University of Birmingham, has been recommended for his work editing the Civil Procedure Rules. He qualified as a solicitor and barrister in Victoria, Australia, before moving to the UK in the 1960s.
Professor Clive Walker, who qualified as a solicitor and is now a professor emeritus at the University of Leeds, has been recommended for his work as an adviser to the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation and for his contribution to UK law on terrorism.

Fresh Bloom = Fresh Card
I love going to visit my mom every week (usually Mondays). I feel like I'm helping in a situation that is much out of our hands. I clean, do a little laundry, grocery shopping if she needs it. Just whatever. AND, it sets a schedule and a reason for me to visit with my mom. I have a purpose in going, therefore I go. But it really does make for a long day with the driving and all. There was no stamping time last night.
This card uses Fresh Bloom stamped on watercolor paper in Timber Brown. What a great name for that flower. It really is fresh! I colored it with a water brush and dye inks. Then I went over a few highlights in the center with my white glaze pen. (LOVE that thing) Do you have Stampin' Up's new chocolate chip taffeta ribbon? It's gorgeous, but not very chocolaty in color. I was wondering if it's just mine. It looks more basic gray. Anyway, the card hinges on the left, so I cut a slot in the fold so my ribbon could go the whole way around the card front. The sentiment, which includes those doodled ovals, is stamped in Timber Brown on whisper white and trimmed out with mini scallop scissors. To balance the design a bit, I glued down some small crystals in the top corner and on the sentiment. The background papers are both sides of a sheet from Chatterbox.
What's In It?
Stamps: Stampendous Fresh Bloom, Hero Arts Designer Words set
Paper: Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink); whisper white, chocolate chip, watercolor (Stampin' Up!); Nook Circles (Chatterbox)
Ink: Timber Brown (StazOn); cameo coral, mellow moss, close to cocoa (Stampin' Up!)
Other: White Glaze Pen (Sakura); mini scallop scissors (ProvoCraft); water brush, chocolate chip taffeta ribbon (Stampin' Up!), miscellaneous crystals

*The following is excerpted from an online article from the USA Today.
Parents are paying almost twice their regular rates to insure their kids behind the wheel, a new study finds.
The average married couple pays 80% more for car insurance after adding on their teen driver, according to a report by insuranceQuotes.com. Five states have seen rates double as a result of adding on a teen driver, including Wyoming, Illinois, Maine and Rhode Island. New Hampshire tops the charts at a whopping 115% boost to original premium prices.
Age and gender play an important part of this equation. Teenage males are the most costly for parents, with average increases topping the charts around 92%. Female teen drivers cost their parents around 67% more to be added to existing policies.
For six states, gender makes no difference. Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina and Pennsylvania prohibit insurance companies from incorporating gender in their rate calculations.
The younger the driver, the higher the rate when it comes to auto insurance. Research shows 16-year-olds spike premiums the most, jumping rates up 96%. The rate drops to around 60% when teens turn 19.
While these prices probably make parents cringe, there are ways to work with insurance companies to soften the blow through student discounts.
"I've seen discounts as high as 25% for students who maintain at least a B average in high school or college." Laura Adams, senior analyst for insuranceQuotes.com, says in a statement. "Students and their parents need to proactively request this discount."

We now have an online petition for those of you who want Lawry's to bring back Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Mix.
Click Here to sign the petition
When I make spaghetti, I use a mix of spices that I add to my sauce, such as garlic powder, oregano, basil, crushed chilies, and sugar. I poured about one tablespoon full of each into a baggie and zip-locked it closed. Then I bought a small Christmas tin at the dollar store and put the baggie inside.
For cooking instructions, I cut out a section of old Christmas card and wrote the spaghetti preparation on one side. After punching one hole in the recipe card, I tied it with Christmas ribbon around the can to give as a gift.
Source: I found this idea in the Gooseberry Patch Christmas Book from the library.
By Patricia Mabel from Maple Falls, WA
I made it several times and it does the trick. The first time it was a bit too tangy but I only added 1/2 tsp. of powdered sugar and not the full 1 and 1/2 tsp. called for.
After that it was just like old times. Well worth the search. Consumers need to band together and stop buying from these corporate weasels when they pull stunts like this and downsizing products with jacked up prices. I promise you it is worth the cost of ingredients and measuring them each time to make the sauce. I mix it in a small dish with a fork then add it like usual. In fact I am going to make some right now.
By Jala
This is a dry mix that you put in an airtight container and store in a cool dry place. It might be a nice gift too, if you know someone who enjoys making spaghetti sauce from scratch.
This is a dry mix for spaghetti sauce that will keep up to a year and it makes a cup in total. Each batch uses 1/4 cup of this mix.
This recipe makes the equivalent of 8 packets of a similar mix that you can purchase at the store. Great for flavoring Spaghetti Sauce with Meat and for making Sloppy Joes.
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
As a Spatini user for over 30 years, I too was devastated by Spatini's demise. This week, at Weis Markets, I discovered that Lawry's is now marketing a "Spaghetti Sauce" mix in individual packets. Is it possible that this is Spatini repackaged and sold singly?
I have never tried Spatini or this recipe, but I did copy it from Top Secret Recipes when it was made free.
1 beef bouillon cube, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch ground black pepper
Crush the bouillon cube to powder. Mix with remaining ingredients in a small bowl. To make spaghetti sauce, follow the original box instructions of Spatini:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine seasoning mix, 1 tablespoon oil (optional), desired tomatoes and amount of water on this chart.
2. Bring to boil, then simmer, stirring frequently, as directed below.
3. Makes about 1 pint sauce
Listed are the amounts of
Tomatoes, Water, and the Simmer time
1 can 6oz. 1 1/2 cups 5 min.
tomato paste
1 can (15 oz.) 3/4 cup 5 min.
tomato puree
2 cups (16 oz.) 1/2 cup 15 min.
crushed tomatoes
For a spicier tomato sauce:
1 15 oz.
tomato sauce 1/2 cup 15 min.
For a chunky homestyle:
1 can 14.5 oz.
whole tomatoes
cut-up and undrained 1/3 cup 15. min.
1 1/4 pounds
fresh ripe tomatoes,
pureed omit water 40. min.
OMG - I was heartbroken when they quit making Spatini! My whole family tried to find it everywhere for me. Thank you for this recipe, I'm going to go home and try to make it this weekend and see how it tastes. I will let you know on Monday.
This is spatini.

How is the Spatini protest going?
clucas68 from Rockland, Mass
Editor's Note: Unilever does not seem interested in bringing back Spatini, despite it's popularity. For those of you who don't know about Spatini, here is a link to feedback about it and our online petition.
Sorry, I have no idea what spatini is.
What is spatini anyway? Never heard of it.
I was not a user of Spatini and in fact had no idea it even existed until I started seeing people post here to bring it back. In my search to find out more about it, I came across this recipe for it.
I have no idea if this is even close to anything - since I have no basis for comparison - but I thought I would pass it along.

Yesterday while shopping at an Acme supermarket, I noticed a packaged dinner by Kraft which was a spaghetti dinner & contained a packet of dry seasoning. I didn't buy it because my husband is on a sodium restricted diet, but I have to wonder if the seasoning packet is anything like the old spatini. Has anyone tried this product?
Does anyone have a recipe for making spaghetti sauce mix, i.e. Spatini? Thanks.
Editor's Note: We have had so many people commiserating about Spatini and not being able to get through to the Lowry's complaint line.

Amazon has it. 15 oz bag for about 10 dollars. Just have to do the math to make a normal sized batch of sauce...

It's so sad that Lawry's has such little regard for us since they have discontinued a spice that has been a part of my entire family for over 45 yrs. At our family reunion this weekend, we have decided to boycott Lawry. This new packaged spice is an insult to Spatini. Goodbye Lawry. We are going to pass the word on. (09/27/2007)

Please bring Spatini back to the super markets. As you can see, there is more then enough people who want it back badly and that's not mentioning the thousands of other people, who for some reason or an other, can't post and complain. It was an excellent product! (09/30/2007)
By Terri
I spoke to a rep from Lawry's on October 22, 2007. The rep informed me of two reasons why Spatini was discontinued. One possible reason was poor sales ( I doubt this was the problem.) The second possible reason was the cost of the ingredients to make the spice mix was too high to continue marketing. I feel this was the reason it was taken off the market. I also inquired whether the recipe was for sale, this would be an excellent opportunity for spice giant McCormick's to purchase and remarket Spatini, I was told that the recipe was not for sale. I was also told that there are no current plans to bring the spice mix back too the market. (10/22/2007)
By Victor Shiflett
I think it was a rotten thing to do. I want Spatini back! I did call the company and they said they were replacing it with Lawry's spaghetti sauce. I have not gotten to the store to look for it and to buy it. If they wanted to put the price up I know people still would of bought the product. (11/05/2007)
By Sally Vercusky
Don't buy the Lawry's spaghetti sauce mix in the packet it is no way near the taste. I bought one packet and you know what, the rest can rot and go to waste. I feel all Lawry's products can just stay on the shelf. I will not buy any Lawry's products until they bring back Spatini!
Editor's Note: Lawry's parent company is Unilever which has tons of products. Maybe a boycott would get their attention. http://www.unilever.com/ (11/15/2007)

For those adventurous cooking souls out there that asked for a scanned image of the Spatini package so they could try and replicate the recipe, I've attached an image showing the back of box with nutritional facts and side of box with ingredients, info from the front of the box is "3 envelopes, each makes 1 pint" net wt of the box is 2.4 OZ (68g)
Hope this helps. and good luck! I look forward to hearing from someone that is successful. (01/05/2008)

Try this for a quick and easy faux spatini mix. Take one package of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing and recipe mix, (this will already have your onion and garlic powder in it. Add 1 tsp. of light brown sugar and than add a pinch of crushed red pepper. Make sure it's not old. I think that's the zing in spatini. You can put this through a blender. Use fresh onions and fresh minced garlic in your sauce or meat loaf recipes instead of adding extras to the powder. Keep it simple. No need to store. If you have a smidgen of spatini left over put them side by side and taste. Thank you to everyone who had an idea and shared. The company's apparent disconcern should not be a factor in our collective efforts to crack the spatini code. Today is the day to make the kettle sing.

I sent an e-mail to Lawry's and they responded. This is their response.
"The product you have contacted us about has been discontinued. We are sorry that we do not have any remaining stock.
Our company's goal is to provide consumers with a variety of products to meet their needs and preferences. As you know, marketing is a complex function, and many business factors are taken into consideration before discontinuing a product. Before a product becomes available at the retail level, much time and expense is involved in perfecting the formulation, consumers focus testing, and marketing support. It truly saddens us when we must discontinue a product. However, consumer demand is a major factor. When the level of demand is insufficient to ensure that consumers receive high quality products at an affordable price, the product may be discontinued.
We apologize that this product is no longer available and hope you will continue to enjoy our products." This is their response. (04/02/2008)
By Shirley
I have heard of a Food Distributor in Mechanicsburg, PA that is still selling this product. I think that is why you still see it showing up on eBay. For more information try http://www.spatini.info/ (07/10/2008)
By Spatini Lover
I have the solution! Finally! After all the waiting.
The substitute is made by Penzeys Spices and is called Tuscan Sunset. The secret is out, tell everyone!
You can order on www.penzeys.com (09/06/2008)

By Gin
Mcormicks makes spatini now only in 15 oz packages, though. (02/16/2009)

Salt, sugar, dehydrated onion, potato starch, spices, maltodextrin, garlic powder, beet powder (color), dextrose, autolyzed yeast extract, partially hydrolyzed cottonseed and soybean oils, guar gum, carrot powder, modified corn starch. (09/13/2010)
We now have an online petition for those of you who want Lawry's to bring back Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Mix.

This is the dilemma Boyd faces. We live in an impatient, result-hungry culture; but, as Boyd told me this week, it's going to take three years to create the kind of molten company he desires.
And if you are seeking to build a company, Macbeth is not the easiest place to start. As the American academic, Stephen Orgel, has pointed out: "The drama of Macbeth is really a matter between Macbeth and his ambition, the witches, his wife and his own tormented soul."
To put it another way, it's basically a two-character play rather than a company piece. And, while it is Shakespeare's greatest dramatic poem, it has severe defects as a play; which is why I suspect it works best in studio spaces where it is easier to create a claustrophobic imaginative world.
Cooke, however, has the difficult task of making his house debut at the RST with a play that has defeated more experienced directors. He is not much helped by a neutral set by Robert Innes Hopkins that consists largely of a dark-hued wall punctuated by a single Renaissance arch.
Cooke also shows little of the visual bravura that has marked his productions at the Royal Court or the Young Vic; the witches are simply low-level Romanies, the apparitions are no more than filmic projections and we are denied the tangible excitement of a mobile forest as Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
The most hopeful sign is that the acting shows evidence of the extra rehearsal-time that is part of the RSC's New Deal; and Greg Hicks, fresh from winning the Critics' Circle Shakespeare award for his Coriolanus, is a fine Macbeth. Lean as a greyhound and taut as a bowstring, he is not only a martial Macbeth but also raveningly and nakedly ambitious.
Hicks also reacts superbly to the horrors of murder: revealing that he could not pronounce "Amen" over the slaughtered grooms, he stutters and chokes over the dread word. Above all, Hicks reminds us that Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's greatest ironists. When his wife tells him that "You lack the season of all natures, sleep", Hicks gives her the wintriest of I-told-you-so smiles. This, after all, is the man who himself murdered sleep.
Sian Thomas was also born to play Lady Macbeth. She has the right mixture of attack, sexiness and emotional drive. On top of that she stresses exactly the right words so that a line like "What thou wouldst highly, that wouldst thou holily" emerges with all its punning antitheses intact.
But Thomas also shows us that Lady M's tragedy lies in her increasing tactical and emotional isolation. When Macbeth chillingly announces that Banquo and Fleance are "assailable", she gives him an aghast stare as if suddenly realising that, in spurring him to murder, she has signed a blank cheque.
All this is fine and dandy; but it is partly Shakespeare's fault that there is so little substance in the minor characters. Richard Cordery, resplendent in Victorian military uniform, is a gracious Duncan. Clive Wood is a morally perturbed Banquo.
But Pal Aron's drunkenly neurotic Malcolm hardly suggests Scotland's future is in safe hands and Forbes Masson's Porter hunts desperately for laughs as if playing the Glasgow Empire first house on a Friday night.
I've seen many worse Macbeths. But, although this is a good, fast, narrative production, it confirms my suspicion that the play only yields up its secrets when performed in an intimate space.
In Trevor Nunn's Other Place production the audience was implicated in ritualistic black magic. In Gregory Doran's more recent Swan version we were locked into a world of barbaric militarism. In a large theatre, however, we became spectators at a defective, helter-skelter tragedy in which much of the real drama is internal.
These are early days, however. And Michael Boyd brings genuine vision to his task of creating a new model RSC, one based on a core ensemble, intensive physical and vocal training, a balance between classical and new work and the discovery of a new London home (to be announced apparently in July).
It is vital Boyd succeeds. For, as Colin Chambers says in his new book, Inside the Royal Shakespeare Company, the question of whether it can once again become a centre of innovation rather than a corporation "is as critical for an increasingly uncertain Britain as it is for the company itself".
Centre stage: four famous thanes
1955 "Nobody has ever succeeded as Macbeth," wrote Kenneth Tynan; but Olivier's performance, in the pre-RSC era, combined a haunted guilt before Duncan's murder with a mounting despair after it. In the final act, when Olivier lamented the lack of "love, obedience, honour, troops of friends" his voice achieved the very ecstasy of desolation. Arguably his finest hour
1976 Trevor Nunn's intimate revival in The Other Place took the curse off this notoriously difficult play. Ian McKellen's Macbeth showed murderous ambition bursting through the soldierly mask like a clown through a paper hoop; and Judi Dench's Lady Macbeth was no painted Gorgon but a startled novice dabbling in satanic powers. A great production that reclaimed the play for the modern age
1986 Adrian Noble's production, on the main Stratford stage, effectively domesticated the drama: the Macbeths became a childless couple locked together in a Strindbergian love-hate relationship. Jonathan Pryce's thane was wild, dangerous, jocular and plagued by infertility. Sinead Cusack's Lady M channelled her thwarted motherhood into insane dreams of power
1999 Antony Sher and Harriet Walter were spellbinding in Gregory Doran's modern-dress Swan revival. Sher's Macbeth was a militaristic superhero driven by base opportunism and macho pride: Walter's Lady Macbeth moved effortlessly from generous partner to sleepless valkyrie. Instead of a crime-does-not-pay melodrama, the play became an acute study of marital and psychological disintegration

Did this ever actually run in the paper?! I kept looking for it...

You realize that Moore "prostituted his work for money" when he SOLD THE RIGHTS to get Watchmen turned into a movie in the first place. :)
In fact, waaaaaay back in 1986 he actually was looking FORWARD to the movie.

i wish the film had flopped harder than it actually did...

Great, original review. I would totally read a regular column done this way. I agree with your comments about the movie missing the point. I feel like Snyder himself didn't get it, but thought that if he copied the book as close as he could, the meaning would transfer automatically. That said, I did happen to like the movie a lot anyway.

Daniel, I liked the film more than you and Rorschach did but I completely agree that the film--theatrically at least--missed the point of the book.
My interpretation of the book was not as a deconstruction of superheroes but as a simple idea of "what would a hero comic be like if it were real." While the violence is shocking, it wasn't as powerful as the humanity the book portrayed and I sorely missed that in the film, though there were moments when that humanity shined through nicely.
I love superhero comics old and new but it's sad to see them get bogged down in "cool" only to remain as juvenile as ever. The good ones, like Watchmen, remember to balance the fun of a heroic world with the reality of human nature. Obviously you see that but too many others don't.
I know you aren't interested in doing superhero comics but I wish you'd try your hand at it sometime. The heroes desperately need your insight.
- Kirk Chritton said...
With Daniel's permission, I posted this at ComicsCareer.Com. It was linked in Heidi MacDonald's The Beat and the Robot 6 blog at Comic Book Resources and is now the single most read item in the history of ComicsCareer.Com. Great work, Daniel, and thanks!

How to remove Searchboro.com from computer and browsers
What is Searchboro.com. Removal reasons and methods
Few days ago we began to receive complaints on the suspicious program, called Searchboro.com that appears in user's browsers and shows ads. Now we will explain what is it and how do deal with it. If your PC is infected by Searchboro.com you should know that it is not a virus. Searchboro.com can't steal, delete or in some way change the files on your PC. The only thing that it can do is to show you ads in browser, so when you will remove it from the system – all problems will instantly end. Searchboro.com belongs to a type of programs which are called browser hijackers. This means that web-scammers use you and your PC to earn money by making you click on advertising links and view ads.
Many people heard about the last large advertisement fraud that had been revealed few months ago. Scammers earned more than $3 million per day, using the large botnet from more than 400 000 user's computers. Searchboro.com might be a part of suchlike fraud scheme or might be not – anyway it pursues the same goal – to trick the average users and to make them click on ads. It became possible to do such things when all advertising companies began to use the "pay per click" payment system. It means that the advertiser pays money each time when the user clicks on the ad and passes the link to the advertised website. This system is pretty useful but opens a large field for fraud schemes and for attacks on advertisers. Browser hijackers might be used just to earn money or to bring troubles to advertising companies by destroying their budget. You know how annoying is Searchboro.com, so when it shows you another link and you accidentally click on it, you don't want to know how what sells the website where you appeared on and you just close the tab. But advertiser will pay for this referral, and for thousands of other referrals that weren't even close to sell something. Any browser hijacker, installed on your PC, makes it a part of a botnet, and its user – a pawn on the scammer's board.

…cari amici e lettori di Planetvoice oggi voglio parlarvi di un altro aspetto, da molti poco considerato o trascurato legato al climate change, ovvero l'aumento di temperatura in diverse zone del mondo conseguenza diretta dell'accumulo di gas serra in atmosfera sta alterando il clima favorendo la crescita esplosiva in termini di numero di diverse specie di coleotteri tra i quali c'è anche Dendroctonus Ponderosae, un particolare coleottero dei Pini che crescendo a dismisura grazie a un clima diventatogli favorevole allo sviluppo, sta letteralmente decimando le popolazioni di alcune specie di conifere dall'America del nord fino al Canada…ma leggete l'articolo che segue per saperne di più…..
Call it the beetle baby boom
Climate change could be throwing common tree killers called mountain pine beetles into a reproductive frenzy. A new study suggests that some beetles living in Colorado, which normally reproduce just once annually, now churn out an extra generation of new bugs each year. And that could further devastate the region's forests.
Pine beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae), which scuttle from New Mexico north into Canada, are trouble for trees, says study co-author Jeffry Mitton, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Beginning in late summer along high altitude sites in the eastern Colorado Rocky Mountains, for instance, swarms of hundreds or even thousands of these small black bugs will single out individual lodgepole pines (Pinus contorta) or related trees, then advance on them en masse. Females dig deep burrows inside the pines' trunks and drop down their eggs. They also deposit a special type of fungus that the insects carry with them that grow inside the trees, eventually helping to kill them. Beetle larvae feed on that same fungus throughout the winter, escaping their burrows the following August.
Recently, pine beetles have inexplicably exploded across their range. In British Canada alone, the insects gutted and killed about 13 million hectares of trees in about a decade. Mitton says it's possible to fly in a small plane over pine forests here for an hour or more and see almost no living pine trees.
Four years ago, Mitton and his graduate student Scott Ferrenberg discovered a possible explanation for this epidemic—almost by accident. While hiking in mid-June to survey pines along Niwot Ridge, due east of Boulder, they saw something strange: adult beetles out and flying. Many even landed on the researchers' clothing. The insects, Mitton says, were swarming close to 2 months too early that year. It seemed so implausible that when he told colleagues about the encounter, some didn't believe him. "This would really upset the apple cart," Milton remembers thinking.
So he and Ferrenberg spent the summers of 2009 and 2010 tracking the growth of pine beetles. They even cut observation windows into the bark of dead pine trees so they could look at larvae hiding in their nests. At first, the insects seemed to be developing as normal. But then, the beetles did the unexpected—they morphed into adults and, beginning in mid-June or even earlier, escaped from their trees. The cue for this early flight seemed to be unseasonably hot weather, the team will report in an upcoming issue of The American Naturalist.
But the beetles weren't just bursting out early, Mitton adds. June-emerging bugs attacked nearby pines almost immediately, laying their own eggs. Those offspring developed speedily, becoming adults, by August or September, just in time to infest another round of pine trees—the second that season. Many Colorado beetles, then, have been able to fit a whole new generation—and an untold number of extra young—into their summers, the team found.
This reproductive explosion could be one reason why the insects have been cutting a deadly swath through North America, Mitton suggests, causing enormous losses both to mountain habitats and to the logging industry.
This study "helps to explain something that's been a big problem in the West," says David Inouye, an ecologist and specialist in Rocky Mountain ecosystems at the University of Maryland, College Park. The pine beetle is hardly the only insect to take advantage of warmer spring weather in Colorado, he adds. Inouye and a colleague previously showed that Mormon fritillary butterflies (Speyeria mormonia) flourish when snow melts later in the mountains.
"This is an important piece of work," agrees Jesse Logan, a retired ecologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service who studied pine beetles extensively. But, he adds, it will be important for future studies to follow the full cycle of beetle lives. It's not clear yet whether larvae laid by the second generation of beetles survive through the winter to the next June. The extra reproduction "would all be for naught if these venerable beetles are winter-killed." Although it might put a damper on the beetle boom

Before we start, a quick reminder:
World Series Contest
I am going to be holding some contests here and on Twitter and Facebook over the next week or two thanks to A&E who has now come out with "A&E Minnesota Twins Vintage World Series Films DVD." It includes both the 1987 and 1991 teams! The '87 team beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 7 games. The '91 World Series was the first that had two worst-to-first teams as the Twins and the Atlanta Braves played one of the greatest seven-game series ever, including Jack Morris's amazing Game 7. So be sure to look here and other places for some contests for a free copy.
On Saturday afternoon, the Twins scored five first inning runs and Scott Baker threw a complete game as the Twins won for the eighth time in ten games. First, it was a four-game sweep in Kansas City. Then they won two out of three in Cleveland against the division leaders. With the win on Saturday, the Twins have won two of the first three games of this four-game series against arguably the best team in the American League, the Texas Rangers.
After playing horrible baseball through the first 54 games of the season, the Twins have found a way to play great baseball over the past ten games. They have managed to do that without Joe Mauer, Tsuyoshi Nishioka, Jim Thome, Jason Kubel and in recent days without Denard Span or Justin Morneau.
Do I believe that this type of success is sustainable? With the current roster? No. But as those aforementioned players come back, along with Glen Perkins, the team is certainly moving back in the right direction.
So, how did a team that was playing so poorly suddenly run off eight wins in ten games? I went to the numbers and it has been a combination of good starting pitching, great bullpen work and very strong offense. Here are some of the numbers for you to consider:
- Over those ten games, the starting pitchers have thrown 65.1 innings. They have given up 70 hits, walked 11 and struck out 41. That's a 2.62 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. They have given up eight unearned runs, four of them came on Friday night in Brian Duensing's seven run second inning. Scott Baker and Carl Pavano each threw a complete game during that time frame and seven innings in their other start. Brian Duensing threw eight shutout innings in one of his starts. Anthony Swarzak picked up his first career win to start this run. Francisco Liriano returned with five shutout innings.
- As good as the starters have been, the bullpen has been even better. There may be a direct correlation there as well. Starters go longer and pitch better, maybe it's easier to come in and perform. But they have come through in some tough situations. In those ten games, the bullpen has a 1.09 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP in 24.2 innings. They have given up just 16 hits, walked eight and struckout 12.
- Ben Revere made the comment in his Fox interview following Saturday's win that he likes being a leader and getting the team going. I assume that he meant that he enjoys being a leadoff hitter and setting the table for the game. Revere has been a catalyst, but he has not been the only offensive performer over the past ten days. Here's proof that a lot of people are contributing:
- Revere has gone 13-44 (.295) with two walks and a double. He has scored seven runs, driven in four runs. He also has three stolen bases.
- Alexi Casilla has gone 14-42 (.333) with four walks and three doubles. He has four stolen bases, has scored six runs and driven in four runs.
- Michael Cuddyer has gone 12-38 (.316) with four walks. He has four doubles, three home runs, six runs scored and ten RBI.
- Delmon Young has gone 14-40 (.350) with a walk, three doubles and a long home run. He has scored seven runs and driven in six.
- Matt Tolbert has gone 10-33 (.303) with a walk, three doubles, five runs scored and six RBI.
- Luke Hughes has gone 9-25 (.360) with a walk, three doubles and seven runs scored.
- Drew Butera has gone 8-20 (.400) with a walk, three doubles, six runs scored and six RBI.
- Before his concussion, Denard Span went 4-14 (.286) with a double, a triple, a run scored and three RBI.
- Jason Repko was 3-12 (.250) with a double, a run and three RBI. He played a huge role in one of the wins in Kansas City.
- Before missing a couple of days lately, Justin Morneau had gone 2-24 (.083). Danny Valencia has gone 5-35 (.143) with four walks, a double, two runs and two RBI. Rene Rivera has gone 3-16 (.188) with a walk, a double, two runs and an RBI.
So again, in order to go on a nice ten-game run like the Twins have, it takes a whole team. The Twins have been able to get strong starting pitching and bullpen work. They have received offensive contributions from some unlikely sources, some young players and some of the veterans that much had been expected earlier. Ben Revere has been a catalyst, and Michael Cuddyer has been an incredible run producer.
And, as a fan, the best thing is that the Twins have been fun to watch again. Not just because of the wins, but primarily because the brand of baseball is just much better.
Of course, as we are now down to 98 more games, the Twins will need to play very well for the next nine or ten ten-game stretches. Are they capable? As those injured players return, how will they impact the Twins team? Are you surprised to see any of the above numbers? Feel free to comment here.

Today was another day of great class videos and information. Only reason there are no posts from class is I wasn't able to get to my craft room today. However, you can bet I'm going to figure out how to get in there tomorrow. We shall see what tomorrow creates….
Hip hip hooray! I got to play with some crafts today(Sat. 4) I used the blue halo background touch and I like the way it makes everything light up. That combined with tracing and adding little marks with a fine liner gives a great addition to the already colorful Copics.
There is one thing that I did that's aggravates me. The worst part is I knew from trying many times previously that I was not going to like it. As with all the other times I attached the Happy Birthday sticker and got it placed almost the way I wanted and what do you think happened? Yup! You guessed it, I hate it! Of course with it being a sticker and all I'm stuck(so to speak) with it….lol Oh well there is always next time.
Ok, I realize I totally don't think about putting the name of the supplies I use on my projects. I am going to work at doing this on a regular basis. The stamp set I used was by MyCreativeTime.com and the name is Bloom Where You Are Planted. The paper is Stampin' Up and I applied glossy accents to a few of the flowers.

The guys over at XDA-Developers have posted up an APK file for the HTC EVO which enables full Flash 10.1 support in the web browser. Those of you familiar with HTC Sense devices are probably aware that the handsets come equipped with Flash Lite which is a bit buggy, slow, and incompatible with many Flash components on the web. Apparently the APK only seems to work on a few HTC Sense equipped handsets (Sprint HTC EVO and Hero) but may also be compatible with a few others. Installation it fairly straight forward, but I did need to restart my EVO since the browser was acting a little slow after installing the Flash 10.1 APK. I was able to get video files on Vimeo.com to play along with a few Flash games from Yatsha.com. Hit the source link to download the APK and be sure to let us know how it works for you.

Hi guys!
I know I haven't been active on Gearheads off late. I had been given one of the most important opportunities of my life, a chance to live a dream. To setup and run a workshop with a bunch of my close friends for the last 1 year. That left me with absolutely no time for the forum and now that I am back, I have some good news for you all!
A month ago, I decided to get into the thick of action and start something on my own! First I was offered a tie-up with Hercules Tyres, an opportunity that I took up gladly! So expect another thread in a different section where we shall be bringing you good tyres and a wide range of alloys a step closer to you! At prices that will seem VFM to one and all. And a guarantee of a wonderful customer satisfaction and service that is left so wanting in our field, specially to us enthusiasts.
Having said that, phase II of this venture will also include bringing to your door steps some very good brands in ICE. I set some pretty high standards for myself. So it goes without saying that when I plan to run something on my own, the same virtues will apply as well. A place that rates customer service and satisfaction higher than anything else. A place where customers can walk with a sense of security and not worry about a thing with regards to people not taking good care of their cars. A place where your cars will be loved as much as our own personal cars!
To begin with, we've been in talks with BBW Distributors and will be selling some very good brands like Dynaudio, Micro Precision, Digital Designs, Rainbow, Seas Lotus, Mosconi, Gladen Audio, AIV amongst others.
Now why these brands one may ask?...
My Zen back in 2005 was the first car in South India to get a complete Hertz setup. That is when I met Jasdeep Brar and Singh Gunbir. I've known these guys since 2005 and today anyone who's been long enough into ICE and knows the history, will vouch that these two have played a major role in bringing some very good brands to India and started a revolution of sorts. Whether it was the erstwhile Hertz, Audison, Genesis, Image Dynamics, Tru Tech they brought into India ages ago, they've always been setting the standards for ICE in India.
Not just bringing in good brands, the key lies in wisely using the equipment and installing them right to make the best use of them. Once again, most people who have seen JB's work will vouch that he's probably the best installer and audio guru in the country right now and along with Gunbir the duo make a potent team.
I've been keeping a close eye on this field for years! I've seen many big and small players come with a bang and fizzle out! In the end the people who suffer are the customers. Something goes bad and you can't get warranty, there is no worse feeling than that after having spent your hard earned money! That is why choosing to deal with the right people is of utmost important for me!
BBW has been a well known company for over a decade now. They have been stellar with warranty claims. I know of people who have gotten warranty claims from them even after they had stopped representing some brands! That is a major reason why I always rely on JB and Gunbir for my ICE needs. Because I know I can have a peace of mind while dealing with them.
Around 6 months ago, I realized that one of the XO's in my Rainbow Vanadium Phase Plug Cross had gone kaput and the tweeter was getting the lower frequencies. I sent one SMS to JB and he asked me to ship the XO to him. 15 days later I received a parcel with a brand new XO. Now that's phenomenal service. No questions asked. And these XO aren't cheap! I know a lot of my friends who've dealt with other brands haven't been so lucky!
So when we start something on my own, it's a bunch of guys who equally respect customer service that we wanted to deal with.
To begin with, we will be dealing with all the products supplied by BBW Distributors in Karnataka. We are in talks to market them in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh as well. And we'd be happy to serve Gearheads all across the country with your enquiries and purchases!
Apart from the stuff BBW sells, we will also be dealing with Audible Physics in India. A brand that deals in drivers used for active setups and having great midrange drivers. We will also be venturing into DIY space and would be dealing with Dayton, Peerless, Tang Band etc hence providing assistance with car based diy setup and home audio installs of highest quality at fraction of a price.
We are in talks to bring in more brands like HU's from Pioneer, JVC, Sony. And hopefully we will also be dealing with other good brands like Focal, Morel amidst others. Our focus is to only pick and choose brands that are known for good quality products and have a good support in India.
piyush7243 and myself are in the process of finalising a place where we can open a full fledged shop to do our installs. And we will have a lot more to offer than just ICE. So keep watching this space.
Our motto is to serve you guys to the best of our abilities and more. And to make sure every customer is treated like a king!
All developments of our new venture shall be brought to you guys via this thread! We look forward to serving you.
You can contact me via e-mail on firstname.lastname@example.com or via what's app/SMS/Call on +918762801414.
Thanks a ton for listening to the long rant! Wishing you all a very good day...

The next Mobile Networking meeting will be held in conjunction with the Mobile Communications Fair coming up on FEB 23 (see http://itc.virginia.edu/techconnect/mobilefair ). Although the Mobile Com Fair will be focused on smartphones and communications devices, the MobiNet meeting will be about eBooks and eReaders. If you're not familiar with the Mobi Net group, we meet bi-monthly to present and discuss a range of topics on mobile technologies. Emphasis is on open group discussion, and we structure our meetings so that we open with a sort of show-and-tell forum we call the Mobile Blast. During this time, anyone can get up and show off or discuss their interest, expertise or experience with any aspect of mobile technologies in short presentations that can be anywhere from 1 – 10 minutes (or longer if necessary – we're flexible). With the explosion of eBooks, eReaders and <tablets> on the market lately, we thought it might be appropriate to let these technologies guide the next meeting. Consider joining us at our next meeting and bring along any discussion you might have about eBooks or eReaders, or any mobile technology for that matter. Or if any of you know of anyone with interests or experience using eBooks/eReaders, perhaps you could steer them our way. The meeting will be from 11:30-1 in the Newcomb South Meeting Room during the Mobile Communications Fair on TUES 23 FEB. For more info about Mobi Net visit our video blog at http://beam.to/mobilib.
Also, for anyone who's really interested, the TechConnect folks at ITC that are hosting the Mobile Com Fair, are looking for people to participate in a panel discussion on the "Future of Mobile Communications". I'm hoping to help them find 4-5 people who would like to serve on such a panel. Let me know if you are interested and I'll fill you in on the details.
Thanx everyone!

We're thrilled to share the theme for TEDMED 2020: Make Way For Wonder.
With this announcement we also officially open registration for TEDMED 2020 at a special Early Bird rate! Join our passionate and diverse community this March 2-4 at an exciting new home in Boston – and for a limited time, we're offering a special early registration rate of $1,000 off the registration fee.
TEDMED 2020: Make Way For Wonder
"Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand." — Neil Armstrong
The earliest philosophers regarded "wonder" as the foundational emotion that compels humans to explore, to learn, and to seek answers to life's fundamental questions. Wonder – about our lives, our bodies, and our world – fuels an intense passion for learning. Indeed, "philosophia," translated literally, means "love of wisdom." As Plato described it: "Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder."
But, what is Wonder?
It's the feeling we get when experiencing the beauty of new life as it's born into the world. It's the euphoria we feel from unlocking secrets in the intricacies of our genetic makeup, or the curiosity that provokes us to expand the capabilities of the human brain. It's the insatiable inquisitiveness that drives a researcher toward an astonishing discovery that saves millions of lives around the world. It's the awe felt when standing at a precipice looking down at the Grand Canyon. Or the humbling acknowledgement of our place in an incomprehensibly vast universe. Perhaps the most awe-inspiring thing of all is that this feeling of wonder is firmly grounded in solid realities.
Today, we live in a world of sudden and surprising accomplishments, an era of astonishing possibilities, and an age of ongoing achievements happening in every single field. Let's embrace the wonder in each step that humanity takes forward.
Now is the time for us to make way for wonder. It's time we intentionally cultivate our sense of awe and our desire for new knowledge. It's time to celebrate all we're discovering and all that is yet to be discovered. It's time to revel in our innocence, our capacity for delight, joy, and amazement.
When we allow ourselves time to muse and to marvel, to be energized with wonder, great advancements will follow. When we emerge from our silos, we have the opportunity to broaden our laser-like focus. When we step back and take time to look deeper, we can see with a wider perspective.
The results can be transformative. New doors are opened. New horizons reveal themselves. New possibilities suddenly leap from wild speculation, to well-grounded theory, to working reality.
At TEDMED 2020, we will connect with an invisible force that has been propelling humanity forward for millennia. Join us as we experience the power and possibilities that come to us when we make way for wonder.

The Junck Colloquium with Andy Pilny will occur on Friday, Sept. 15, in the Freedom Forum Conference Center at noon.
Pilny, a professor from the University of Kentucky Department of Communication, will deliver his keynote, "Computational Approaches to Predicting Fake News."
Computational Approaches to Predicting Fake News
It goes without saying that intentional, misleading and verifiably false news stories, known better as fake news, have proliferated in liberal democracies like the United States. To detect fake news, several organizations have put out practical suggestions, inviting readers to consider the source, author, date, their own bias, context, satire and third parties.
The current computational approach puts the onus on machines, rather than individuals. It expands upon previous computational approaches by analyzing actual text, rather than backtracking sources. A pilot test revealed that the preliminary algorithm was 80 percent accurate in detecting fake news articles leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The algorithm may be practically useful when fake news articles become more sophisticated and harder to detect by traditional individual methods.
The Mary Junck Research Colloquium series was formally established in 2007 to nurture an intellectually vibrant climate with both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary shades, by scheduling scholarly presentations on diverse topics.
The speakers represent various disciplines and units on campus as well as other universities and organizations in the Triangle. The series has been particularly successful in attracting scholars and researchers of national and international renown from within the U.S. and abroad. The series attracts a diverse audience comprising faculty, graduate students and researchers from around the Triangle.

A state court judge in Alabama has provoked a constitutional showdown by attempting to block enforcement of a federal court order barring officially sanctioned prayer and other religious activities in public schools.
Gadsden Circuit Judge Roy S. Moore issued a temporary restraining order Nov. 4 blocking enforcement of U.S. District Judge Ira DeMent's ruling against religious practices in Alabama public schools. Moore ordered the Etowah County Board of Education and the Alabama State Board of Education not to enforce DeMent's ruling within Moore's Etowah County jurisdiction.
"Some Alabama officials seem to be trying to secede again," said Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "All government officials are bound by the U.S. Constitution and the rulings of the federal courts. No one is above the law."
"Judge Moore is showing his true colors as an extremist on the farthest fringes of legal opinion," said Lynn. "This is flat-earth jurisprudence. Even the slowest freshman in law school knows that state courts cannot overturn federal court rulings."
Americans United and the Alabama affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union sponsored the Chandler v. James lawsuit that resulted in Judge DeMent's Oct. 29 ruling. In that order, DeMent barred all school-organized or officially sanctioned religious activities in public schools.
Judge Moore came to national attention earlier this year when he vowed to defy a state court order requiring him to remove a Ten Commandments plaque from his courtroom wall and discontinue clergy-led prayers before court sessions. He drew strong support from Religious Right groups and Gov. Fob James who promised to use state troopers and the National Guard to keep the religious practices in place. (James serves as chairman of the state board of education.)

Out now, stream Bruno Mars' new album "24K Magic."
After weeks of heavy promotion, which included songs like "24K Magic" and "Versace on the Floor," Bruno Mars finally releases his first album in four years called 24K Magic.
Laced with only 9 tracks in total, the follow up to 2012 Unorthodox Jukebox comes with no official features, but finds contribution from Babyface, T-Pain, Emile Haynie, and James Fauntleroy, who reportedly helped on all 9 songs.
To coincide with the album, Bruno will be hitting the road next year for another World Tour named after the project. Peep dates for the tour here, and be sure to stream the album (below).
24K Magic available on iTunes.
