San Jose based 4D has beta launched its Wakanda open source end-to-end JavaScript platform dedicated to developing and deploying web apps from the cloud on all types of desktop and touch interfaces.
Named after an American Indian tribe hailing from the Omaha region, Wakanda is based on JavaScript, the latest web standards (HTML5, CSS3, etc.), and what its makers describe as "the direct manipulation of business logic."
After three years of research and development, Wakanda has spent several months in a private test phase with a panel of 50 early users and experts from various technological backgrounds.
Laurent Ribardière, president, founder, and CTO of 4D explains, "In light of the rapid growth of languages and components that one must master to create data-driven business applications usable on desktops, smartphones, and tablets, we sought to offer a new, simpler, and more productive approach. This project leverages our technological know-how and in-depth understanding of the needs of this market."
Speaking to technology website IT Wire, 4D managing director for the Australasia region Damon Carle has said that the product's emphasis is on the rapid development of web applications that have a rich interface and are easy to maintain. The benefit for developers is reducing the time and lowering the cost of developing and supporting web applications by using just JavaScript.
IT Wire journalist Peter Dinham further quotes 4D's Carle as saying, "We've released this first public version to invite developers to check it out, to be critical, alert us of the faults, and make suggestions for its evolution into a finished product. Every newborn needs a family, so we encourage developers to participate in the forum and eventually in the open source community we hope to build around Wakanda as the project continues its development."

Trade deadline: Knicks, Clippers consider trade centered on Shumpert-Collison swap
The New York Knicks have long coveted a solid option at point guard, expressing interest in players such as the Toronto Raptors' Kyle Lowry throughout the season.
It appears they have now set their sights on Los Angeles Clippers backup point guard Darren Collison, according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
MORE: Paul helps Melo through tough time | Lin on Knicks wish list? | Deng on trade market
In this instance, Collison would go to the Knicks in exchange for guards Iman Shumpert and Raymond Felton, Wojnarowski reports.
To be honest, this appears to be hefty price for Collison, who had trouble handling starting positions with the Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks and has functioned better as a backup to Chris Paul in New Orleans and Los Angeles.
Shumpert and Felton have been included in trade rumors for quite a while, but one would have to assume Shumpert would be the prize for the Clippers. His upside and ability to defend elite guards is an asset for a team like the Clippers, who have several offensive options.
UPDATE: Shumpert suffered a left knee sprain Wednesday night in New Orleans, putting his availability into question.

Robert Rubin and Joseph Stiglitz are going public on jobs and the deficit, in what looks very much like a re-run of a major policy debate during the Clinton era. The dispute is simple—should the government focus on putting people back to work, or should it try to cut the deficit? Stiglitz wants to see more jobs, Rubin wants to shrink the deficit. Policymakers should listen to Stiglitz.
Rubin is the Democratic Party's Alan Greenspan. In the 1990s, he was heralded as a genius for making policy calls that ultimately wrecked the economy. Rubin pushed for deficit reduction instead of a jobs policy in the Clinton years, and was the driving force in the Clinton administration's devastating moves to deregulate Wall Street. For several years, Rubin's policies looked good. Despite the focus on the deficit instead of jobs, the Clinton years saw a huge boom in employment. Wall Street profits were through the roof, and the economy was roaring.
But at the end of Clinton's second term, it was clear that all of these good times had been fueled not by sound economic policy, but by a reckless and unsustainable Wall Street bubble. Banks were backing every dot-com business plan brought their way, and when everybody figured out that Pets.com was not going to be the next Home Depot, things fell apart. The economy slipped into a mild recession, which would have been devastating had policymakers not inflated a housing bubble to "rescue" the economy from the dot-com fallout.
Rubin was Clinton's Treasury Secretary, while Stiglitz served as Chair of Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors. Stiglitz fought all of Rubin's wrong-headed policies, but ultimately lost. Stiglitz was able to fend off some of the most outrageous financial deregulation, but when he left office, Rubin pounced and pushed through the repeal of Glass-Steagall, a Depression-era law that prevented banks from gambling in the capital markets casinos with taxpayer money. Facilitating that banking excess was a key cause of the 2008 financial collapse, and it was Robert Rubin's brainchild.
So why should anybody take Robert Rubin's advice on economic policy? On virtually every important decision during the Clinton years, Rubin got it wrong, and getting it wrong put the global economy on a path to destruction.
Well, here we go again, only this time, conditions are worse. Instead of unemployment hovering around 8 percent, it's near 10 percent, and nobody sees any sign of it abating significantly over the next year. Once again, instead of promoting a jobs agenda, Rubin wants to focus on the deficit. It's an instinct shared by most of Rubin's Wall Street colleagues (Rubin is a former co-Chairman of Goldman Sachs, and served on Citigroup's board in the years leading up to Citi's monstrous bailout). The same banker buddies who wrecked the economy and forced the government to spend trillions rescuing the banking sector.
By contrast, the deficit looks pretty good. Deficits are only an immediate problem when investors are worried about default or inflation, and demand a very high interest rate to compensate them for this risk. So if the deficit were a big deal right now, we'd see high interest rates on U.S. Treasury bonds. But we don't see that at all. Yesterday, the rate on the 10-year bond fell to 2.77 percent. During George H.W. Bush's presidency, the rate routinely eclipsed 9 percent.
But mainstream news anchors are giving Rubin a platform to spew Wall Street buzzwords in order to gin up support for a deficit reduction program. Fareed Zakaria interviewed Rubin on his CNN show this weekend, where Rubin had this to say:
I wouldn't do a major second stimulus because I think…we run a risk that it could be counterproductive in creating a lot of additional uncertainty and undermining confidence.
"Confidence" here means "investor confidence in the ability of the United States to pay off its debts." This is empty spin language. Investor confidence is measured by interest rates. Investors are currently signaling that they have more confidence in the United States' fiscal rectitude than they have had in decades. Borrowing money for new stimulus would not be punished by the market, and the cost of borrowing that money is at its lowest to the Treasury in decades.
If we don't spend money to create jobs, the private sector isn't going to be able to take care of it on its own. Businesses aren't hiring because there is no demand for their products. Put another way, since everybody is broke and out of a job, nobody can afford to buy things, which means businesses have no customers. Without any customers, businesses have no reason to hire people.
So in the near-term, jobs and deficit reduction are in direct conflict. If you go after the deficit, you are going to hammer the unemployment rate. What's more, recent efforts by countries to cut their deficits by reducing spending have actually been counterproductive. Ireland slashed social programs, only to see its deficit increase, because the spending cuts hurt economic growth so much that the government's tax revenues declined dramatically.
Rubin wants to implement a deficit reduction plan now that would take effect in two years. Long-term deficit reduction isn't a terrible idea, economically. The biggest threat to U.S. fiscal stability over the next several decades is the increasing cost of health care, which drives up Medicare expenses. While it's not an immediate necessity, a program designed to bring down the cost of health care over the next couple of decades would in fact be a good idea (Contrary to Republican attacks, President Barack Obama's health care bill actually does cut health care costs and will reduce the deficit over the long-term. Nevertheless, more could be done.).
The trouble is, there is very little evidence right now that the economy is going to be okay in two years, and Medicare isn't going to bankrupt the government in two years. Cutting spending while the economy is still weak means hurting jobs and slowing growth. Even the Federal Reserve is clearly worried about the prospect of a double-dip recession, which is why it embarked on a new program yesterday to lower interest rates further in order to make borrowing money cheaper for American citizens and businesses.
Stiglitz sees things differently. If we want a healthy economy, we have to have financially healthy households. That means getting people back to work, and it means spending serious money to create those jobs. He was right in the 1990s. He's right today.

A 1918 Oregon newspaper has an interesting article about an effort in Portland, Oregon, to enlist farm worker volunteers to help save that year's crops, due to the labor shortage caused by WWI.
The old newspaper article reads: "Vacation helpers are going to have a big part in saving the Oregon farm crops this year." People from all walks of life volunteered in this area-wide effort to assist local farmers in saving that year's crops.
As the historical newspaper article reports: "More than 500 have signed up the enlistment cards volunteering to devote their vacation time to beneficial service at going wages for the kind of work they may be assigned to do."
Hmm…those enlistment for farm work cards would be a handy genealogical resource for family historians researching ancestors from the World War I era.
The Oregonian's article showed the above illustration with the caption: "Facsimile of enlistment cards actually signed by well-known citizens."
One question on the "Enlistment for Farm Work" form was: "Would you 'rough it' with other help on [the] farm?"
A volunteer named A. Earl Kenworthy, a 31-year-old undertaker, answered: "You bet your boots." He was all-in to help.
Did these Portland farm work records survive? Has anyone used them for genealogy research? Where are these old farm work records now?

Bulldogs within Three Points of Playoff Spot
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Just two weekends of regular season games remain, and the ECAC Hockey women's standings are tightly packed near the eighth and final conference playoff spot. Yale is one of the teams in that mix, and the Bulldogs have a chance to make a move up in the standings as RPI (Friday, 7:00 p.m.) and Union (Saturday, 4:00 p.m.) come to Ingalls Rink for a pair of conference games this weekend.
Yale (4-18-2, 3-12-2 ECAC Hockey) is coming off a 4-2 loss Tuesday night at Dartmouth. That game was re-scheduled from Saturday due to the winter storm that hit the Northeast. While the Bulldogs were idle over the weekend, they slipped to 10th in the standings but remained within striking distance of the postseason. The two teams directly ahead of Yale in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot, Colgate and Princeton, have tough schedules ahead. The Raiders host Dartmouth and No. 5 Harvard (combined conference record 23-7-4) this weekend, while Princeton visits No. 6 Clarkson and St. Lawrence (combined conference record 26-8-2).
Close calls may ultimately prove costly for the Bulldogs in the ECAC Hockey standings. Yale has led or been tied in the third period of four of its 12 conference losses, and six of those losses have either been by one goal or two goals with an empty-netter. Still, the Bulldogs have shown plenty of signs of progress this season -- none more dramatic than the turnaround on the penalty killing unit. After killing off just 49 of their first 71 penalties (.690), the Bulldogs have gone 23-for-23 since, a span that dates back to the second penalty of the game vs. Brown Jan. 17.
Sophomore goaltender Jaimie Leonoff (Montreal, Que.) made 45 saves Tuesday at Dartmouth, her fifth game this year with 40 or more saves. She and Minnesota State's Danielle Butters are the only goalies in the country with 800 or more saves, as Leonoff has 801 and Butters has 850. Leonoff is 11th in the country in save percentage (.924), and has an even better mark (.935) since the start of December.
Yale's top defensive pair, freshman Kate Martini (King City, Ont.) and junior Tara Tomimoto (Calgary, Alta.), has also been posting impressive numbers. Martini's goal Tuesday night at Dartmouth moved her into the team lead in points (4-9-13), while Tomimoto's two assists gave her a team-best 10 for the year. With five games left to play, Tomimoto's assist total is already the fifth-highest by a Bulldog in the last four seasons. The speedy blueliner has also incurred just three penalties all year.
Freshman forward Jamie Haddad (Wilbraham, Mass.) leads Yale in goals with seven, and she is just the third Bulldog freshman in the last four seasons with that many goals. Right behind her is freshman forward Janelle Ferrara (Winthrop, Mass.) with six goals. Thanks in part to 19 goals from the freshman class, Yale has already surpassed its goal total from a year ago (33 this year, 31 last year). The Bulldogs have 12 power play goals, including five from Haddad. All of her scoring has come in conference games.
RPI (9-17-4, 7-9-4 ECAC Hockey) started the season 2-11-2 but has gone 7-6-2 since then, including a 4-3 win over the Bulldogs at Houston Field House Dec. 8. That game was a back-and-forth affair that saw each team take the lead twice, but RPI took it when it really mattered: forward Taylor Mahoney's goal with 1:07 left was the game-winner. Leonoff made 34 saves, while Kelly O'Brien made 18 for RPI.
Forward Alexa Gruschow leads the Engineers in scoring (10-12-22), including a team-best four goals on the power play. O'Brien has a .907 save percentage and a 2.36 goals-against average.
Union (7-20-3, 0-15-3 ECAC Hockey) brings a nine-game losing streak into Friday night's game at Brown. The Dutchwomen have scored just eight goals in that stretch, including three games where they were shut out. Forward Courtney Turner leads the team in scoring (5-8-13). Goalie Shenae Lundberg, a member of the world champion U.S. Under-18 National Team in 2011, has a .905 save percentage and a 2.92 goals-against average.

Stocks nudged lower on Thursday as sour economic news welcomed profit-taking pressures on Wall Street. Lackluster performance results from Sprint Nextel ( S) and Akamai Technologies ( AKAM) weighed on excitement levels, while worse-than-expected weekly jobless claims data only added to the list of worries. Selling pressures were also fueled by comments from European Central Bank President Draghi, who noted that the recent strengthening of the euro could hamper economic recovery in the region [Download 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn].
With no major economic releases taking place on the homefront today, investors will likely turn their attention to the north ahead of the opening bell as Canadian employment data hits the Street. As such, our spotlight will focus on the Rydex CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (FXC, A), which may experience volatile trading as investors re-adjust their positions in the currency market following the latest labor market figures. Analysts are expecting Canada's unemployment rate to come in at 7.2%, which would mark a slight deterioration from last moth's reading of 7.1% [see also 17 ETFs For Day Traders].
Chart Analysis
After kicking off 2013 with a solid gain this Canadian dollar ETF appeared to be well on its way to resuming its uptrend, which started on June 4, 2012. However, once FXC slipped below our outlined trading channel (blue lines) on January 23, 2013, selling pressures quickly accelerated as key stop-loss levels were triggered, sinking this ETF back below its 200-day moving average (yellow line). Although FXC was quick to rebound, this ETF is still struggling to regain its footing above the 200-day moving average, which may suggest further downside in the coming weeks [see How To Swing Trade ETFs].
Click to Enlarge
FXC does have major support around the $99 level, which makes entering into a long position at current levels fairly lucrative; however, we advise conservative investors to hold off from buying in until this ETF establishes definitive support at or above $100 a share [see also How To use A Breakout Trading Strategy For ETFs].
If the latest employment report paints a worrisome outlook for Canada's labor market, FXC could be in for a rough trading session; in terms of downside, this ETF has major support around $99 a share followed by the $96 level. On the other hand, better-than-expected employment data may ignite a rally for the Canadian loonie in the currency market; in terms of upside, this ETF has immediate resistance at the $100 level followed by $101 a share. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.

North Lincoln has won three straight Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference girls basketball titles, but it appears the Knights will need to fend off two strong opponents to keep the streak going.
North Lincoln has won three straight Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference girls basketball titles, but it appears the Knights will need to fend off two strong opponents to keep the streak going.
North Lincolnis a slight favorite in the SPC race according to a league coaches� poll but Lake Norman Charter and Lincolnton aren�t far behind after they tied for second last season.
With three returning starters from a team that ran the table in the SPC last season, North Lincoln certainly appears to be in the mix again. Leading the way is junior point guard Antaijah Easter.
�I think this team has set some high goals for themselves and the team as a whole,� third-year North Lincoln coach Lynn Rhyne said. �They are willing to work hard and together. I believe this team will be successful as long as they continue to work together.�
Point guard Treasure Avery leads a strong group of returnees for Lincolnton, which along with Lake Norman Charter went 10-4 in conference action last season. Avery has signed with Division I Longwood, and she�s surrounded by three other returning starters.
�This year�s group has great team chemistry, which is every coach�s dream,� said Lincolnton coach Jimmy Carr, who expects his team to compete for what he called an �elusive� conference championship.
Lincolnton hasn�t won a league title since claiming three in a row from 1998 to 2000.
Lake Norman Charter returns four starters including two (Alex Busch and Ezinne Mbamalu) who earned all-conference honors as sophomores last season.
�We�ve got a good group of kids,� Lake Norman Charter coach Bobby Williams said. �We finished second in the conference last year. With North Lincoln graduating so many, we hope we can take that next step.
�This could be the best team we�ve ever fielded at Lake Norman Charter. We finished 20-8 last year, so that�s saying something.�

High school is one of the most exciting and confusing period in the life of a teenager. Often the first exposure of an individual to the concepts of work, serious consequences, and responsibility start here. Much of the early education is focused on simply grab and incorporating learning the basics of the 9th grade and beyond is often the beginning of strict testing and measurement category. With personal development, parental involvement and guidance of learning, it is essential that students learn the basics of time management and personal motivation this season.
Unlike college, high school is probably the only time a student will face rigorous studies and tests in various subjects, including advanced mathematics, chemistry, physics, history and literature. These different courses full expose young minds to new ideas, perhaps sparking a love for the field in which they never considered before. Many scientists found their field of interest, but in high school. Similarly, many primary teachers became inspired to teach their teachers college. While it may not be immediately apparent to some, at some point we all use what we learned at this critical time.
While math class felt pointless and unbearable, we often use terms such as percentages and algebra when trying to manage our finances. From figuring the tip on a check, to determine how much you earn on an investment, mathematics is essential for successful adult. Of course, if you enter the Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM) Field, you will be using math to an even higher level. Just hard work early in life can lay a stronger foundation for adulthood.
You may never need to balance chemical reactions for the rest of your life, but understand the basics of chemistry is important. Content, cleansing solutions preservatives, surround us daily. By understanding chemistry, you must always remember to neutralize strong acid with a strong base, the combustion requires oxygen, and certain substances are both useful and highly toxic.
The main categories of literature, we learn the foundations for critical thinking and analysis and composition. Even in a normal office environment, negotiating internal or external memorandums and analyzing reports is a regular part of day-to-day work. From literature courses, we discover how to organize thoughts and facts in an understandable written format.
Finally, outside courses, high school teaches the complexities of human interaction. These are skills that could have been picked up in school and Informatics test, but they will be important that one develops. Learning community standards, tools for mutual respect and healthy relationships could be the most reliable one of the virtual learned to help her later in life. We attend many of the learned in these four years of pre-university schooling existing adult lives, whether we are aware of it or not.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, and the state of Illinois issued a cease-and-desist order to Valley Bank, which has 21 banking locations in Iowa, including a branch in Knoxville.
The order states that the bank has engaged in a number of unsafe or unsound banking practices, including allowing the bank's financial condition to deteriorate, and insufficient liquidity. The bank has a variety of deadlines to comply with various orders, including a December 31 deadline to submit a profit plan and budget. Susan Hofer, with the state of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation states that fewer than 20 banks in Illinois have received similar orders so far this year, out of the approximately 500 banks registered in Illinois.
Denny Hansen, Regional President of Valley Bank, Clive, tells KNIA KRLS News that the order relates to investment losses from the purchase of Moody's triple A rated mortgage bonds that turned 'toxic' resulting in an approximate 9 million dollar loss for the bank. Similar losses in the financial industry helped bring the US economy into a recession, with a government response of bailing out banks with the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
Hansen relates that rather than take TARP funds, Valley Bank absorbed the losses, has increased its liquidity, and returned to a well capitalized position and is well on the way to meeting the orders specified by the FDIC and the State of Illinois. He also states that day to day operation of the bank continues as normal, that all depositor assets are safe and FDIC insured.

This article talks about adhesives, looks at various polymer chemistries and curing options available, and provides information.
By Julia Goldstein, Ph.D.
Decals and labels are everywhere—on products in your house, on your car, and around your neighborhood. Graphic designers create eye-catching designs so the labels can do their job to advertise a product or service, explain how to use it or where to get it, or provide safety warnings.
Design alone, however, does not produce a high quality product. The label needs to function over its intended lifetime, and this requires proper selection of adhesives to attach the product to the desired substrate or surface. Both the label itself and the substrate can be made from a wide variety of materials, including paper, metal, vinyl or various plastics. Some labels are designed for permanent application and need to last for years, while others need to be easily repositionable. The specific application dictates the optimum type of adhesive.

Chris Palermo (at left in photo) reunites with Morton College men's basketball coach Conte Stamas at a recent game. Palermo scored a then-school record 863 points in the 1985-86 season for Stamas at Morton College.
Chris Palermo's path to Morton College went through Addison and Arkansas. He spent only one year at Morton College, but it made all the difference in Palermo's life.
Palermo, now 47 years old and the vice president of capital equity markets for Raymond James, started at Arkansas-Monticello, the only school to offer him a scholarship coming out of Addison Trail High School in 1985. The "culture shock" was too much for Palermo, who decided he wasn't cut out to be a Boil Weevil and returned home after a week.
The 6-2 guard needed a school and new Morton College men's basketball coach Conte Stamas needed players. Palermo's father, Ross, worked at UIC, and that provided an opportunity to work out with the men's basketball team. Stamas struck up a conversation with UIC assistant Rick Kilby, who recommended Palermo.
Interestingly, Kilby replaced Stamas as the head coach at Morton College two years later. But that's a story for another day.
"Conte Stamas had tried to get me to go Elmhurst (College), so I knew him," Palermo said. "He had just accepted the job at Morton College. He said, 'You help me out and I'll help you out.' I didn't have any other offers.
"Conte Stamas was good for me," Palermo added. "It was the first time I was playing the point guard. He taught me to let the game come to me. He kept things loose and saw the big picture."
Although Palermo missed out on Arkansas-Monticello reaching the NAIA championship game and playing against two future Basketball Hall of Famers in Dennis Rodman (Southeastern Oklahoma) and Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), he definitely had a season to remember.
"I only spent a year at Morton College, but I wouldn't have traded it for anything," Palermo said. "I'm still friends with Tim Egan (a hospital administrator) and Rob Yanatti (a police sergeant in Villa Park). I had a goal to go Division I and I reached it. It was good."
The three-point line was a year away from being adopted in the college ranks, but Palermo still scored an eye-popping 863 points in averaging 28 points and 7 rebounds per game during the 1985-86 season at Morton College. He shattered the school's single-season scoring record by 179 points and left as the Panthers' ninth all-time leading scorer in helping the Panthers finish 12-19, an eight-game improvement in the win column from the previous year. It also the third-highest win total by any Panther team in 28 years.
Palermo was selected to the Skyway Conference's First Team and Region IV's Second Team. Above all the accolades, it opened the door to Palermo's lifelong dream – an NCAA Division I basketball scholarship to St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
Palermo was recruited by Bob Valvano, whose brother, Jim, won the NCAA title with North Carolina State in 1983 and delivered the memorable "never give up" speech at the 1993 ESPYs eight weeks before dying from cancer.
"Wisconsin-Green Bay offered me after I committed to St. Francis," said Palermo, who also drew interest from Tennessee State. "But I didn't want to take back my commitment to St. Francis."
Plus, Palermo's stock was at an all-time high. He could have come back for a second season and left as Morton College's all-time leading scorer, but…
"I had such a good year, I didn't think I could duplicate it," Palermo said. "Playing against better competition helped me when I got to New York. At the JUCO level, it was easier to drive the lane and get open. In the Northeast Conference, it took a lot of work to get open. Willie Little at UIC really helped me out, letting me practice with his team in the summer."
While the ECAC Metro and later the Northeast weren't the ACC or Big Ten, there still was a high quality of play and memories. Wagner's Terrance Bailey led the country in scoring and Marist produced 7-4 Rik Smits from the Netherlands. Smits was the No. 2 overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft that resulted in a 12-year career with the Indiana Pacers.
There's the memory of trying to use his left hand on Smits and getting his shot knocked "10 rows into the stands." There's the time when working in the basketball office, Spike Lee called, wanting to use the St. Francis gym to film a Nike commercial. Palermo though it was a teammate playing a practical joke. It took a little convincing for Palermo to believe this was the real Spike Lee.
"He was very patient about it," said Palermo with a laugh.
Palermo developed a friendship with Matt Doherty, a former North Carolina player from Long Island who did color commentary on the St. Francis games. Doherty later coached at North Carolina, Notre Dame and Southern Methodist.
St. Francis was 11-16, 11-18 and 14-16 in Palermo's three years. He worked his way into the starting lineup late during his junior year and scored the game-winning basket in a win over Wagner, a contest he was named the game's MVP. But Rich Zvosec replaced Valvano for Palermo's senior year and things changed.
Still, Palermo doesn't play the "what-if" game. Palermo was a self-made Division I player. He'd wake up at 5:30 in the morning and shoot 200 jump shots in the family driveway before going to school. Now Palermo channels his competitive energy toward helping his daughter, Priscilla, who is ranked 24th in Midwest and 193rd nationally by tennisrecruiting.com for girls tennis players under the age of 16.
"To go to practice and give 100 percent isn't good enough," Palermo said. "You have to fight the resistance to take a day off. You have to keep going and work harder. That's what got me ahead."
For life beyond basketball, St. Francis turned out to be Palermo's best move.
"I wanted to major in finance and St. Francis was one stop away on the subway from Wall Street," Palermo said. "Most of the business students got their brokerage licenses and were able to do internships. Plus, all the professors were in the business field. You were able to get a lot of hands-on experience."
Palermo, who has been married for 17 years to Nenette, a dentist, recently attended an alumni event for St. Francis College in the Loop. He was the only St. Francis graduate present without a New York City accent.
"Chicago is the second biggest market for St. Francis alumni," said Palermo, who lives in Lombard. "It's everyone who grew up in Brooklyn now working in Chicago. People were trying to figure out how I went to school there."
Life recently came full circle for Palermo when he and his father attended Morton College's game against Olive-Harvey in January to reunite with Stamas, who is back for his second stint as Morton College's coach.
And Palermo posed for a picture with Demarius Miller, who led the country in scoring last season. It was a reversal of roles for Palermo, who was the young "hot shot" when he took a similar style of a picture 27 years ago with the "old guy" - Carl Strumillo, who still holds the school single-game scoring record with 58 points and whose single-season scoring record Palermo broke.
"I was thinking about that," Palermo said. "Now I'm the old guy in the picture and he's probably looking at me wondering if I could play."

WSJ's James Taranto Says Zimmerman Simply "Guilty Of Being Male"
Blog ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto argued that George Zimmerman was simply "guilty of being male" when he allegedly threatened his estranged wife with violence. Taranto's tweet echoes his established pattern of dismissing acts of violence against women.
George Zimmerman was taken into police custody on September 9 after his estranged wife told 911 emergency operators that Zimmerman had punched her father and was threatening the lives of her and her family. Zimmerman was later released, and his estranged wife has said she will not press charges.
Wall Street Journal editorial board member James Taranto took to his Twitter account to weigh in on the domestic incident. Linking to a Slate article titled, "Shellie Zimmerman Won't Press Charges Against Her Husband. Alleged Domestic Violence Victims Often Don't," Taranto wrote:
Taranto's characterization of the alleged attack and threats maintains his history of offensive comments regarding women. Taranto previously claimed that efforts to address the epidemic of sexual assault in the military amounted to a "war on men" and an "effort to criminalize male sexuality." He also blamed "female sexual freedom" for a "war on men" and called "contemporary feminism" a "sweet deal for hedonistic men."
Taranto has also spoken out against laws that protect women, dismissing the validity of Roe v. Wade and advocating for GOP-backed "life begins at fertilization" legislation. He has called for "a rebalancing of the burden of proof in sexual-harassment cases," because the current legal structure is "highly indulgent of sexual-harassment allegations."

Meanwhile back at home
Veronica Comrie has to call home three times and when eventually her mother answers, she's breathing heavily and asks Veronica to hold on while she sits down. 'Where have you been?' Veronica asks, clutching her tear soaked tissue. She is going to ask her mother to come and pick her up. She hates college. Choosing law was a big mistake. 'On the running machine,' her mother says. 'Running machine?' says Veronica. Veronica's mother hates exercise. 'We put it up in your bedroom, along with the weights and the yoga mats,' says Veronica's mother. 'I feel like a new woman. Or that's what your dad keeps saying.' Veronica tells her mother that she has to go a lecture now, but that she's fine. Really. It's only when she puts the phone down that she realises her mother hadn't asked.
When Colin Hiscox's dad picks up the phone, Colin thinks at first he has the wrong number. His father answers in French. 'Sorry about that,' Colin's dad says. 'It's these foreign students we have staying in your room.' Three girls, Colin's father says. Apparently it brightens the house up to have some young folk around again. Even Colin's mother is loving it. And the money comes in useful. 'We are becoming quite fond of garlic,' Colin's father says. Colin hears laughter in the background. He can't remember the last time he heard laughter in his parents' house. Or whether he's ever knowingly tasted garlic. And he's certainly never been allowed girls in his room before.
'Your room is your room for life,' says Jerome Connor's mother. 'I have kept it just as you left it.' 'A bloody shrine,' Jerome's father adds from the upstairs extension. 'She wouldn't even let the neighbour's niece stay there. Poor girl had to sleep in a tent in the garden.' 'It's your room, Jerome,' says his mother. 'Now the neighbour refuses to talk to us,' his father continues. 'And will you be back to us soon, son?' says Jerome's mother.
'Ferrets,' Jane Brown's mother says. 'If it was kittens, or even rabbits, I might be happier. But what's he going to do with ferrets? Keep them down his trousers?' Jane's busy smiling at the blonde guy from her economics class. 'And they smell,' says Jane's mother. 'I can't go into your room without an oxygen mask. Not to mention the noise. It's scrabble, scrabble, scrabble all day and night. And knock, knock, knock as he builds more and more cages.' Jane stops smiling. 'My room?' she asks.
John Jenson's father has built bookcases along the far wall of John's bedroom to fit in every copy from John's booklists, both primary and secondary reading. Every night, he works his way through them. Sitting at John's old desk, he grinds his teeth through timed essays from the lists of titles John emails him, before sending them to an independent tutor to be marked. John hasn't told him that he's making up the essay titles, that the books lists are from several years ago, and that John isn't at university any more. He's working in a sandwich shop. He's happier than he's been since he started school and his father learnt to read alongside him.
Susan Carter's father has turned her bedroom into a refrigerated storage space for his butcher's shop. Meats that need to be hung are left on large hooks he's drilled into the ceiling. 'It might be a bit cold,' says Susan's mother, 'but your bed is still there and we've shuffled everything round so no blood will actually drip on you when you sleep. I honestly can't see what the problem is.'
When Chris Leslie's mother rings, there's a familiar background noise he can't quite identify. 'I'm cleaning your room,' she says. For a minute he's filled with fury. But then he recognises that sound. It's the down pipe gurgling. Chris used to lie in bed listening to it, imagining surfing the water's waves until it took him out of there. Out of the family. Out of the house. Out of the town. For the first time since starting college, he feels homesick. 'I'm just cleaning because…' she says. 'Shhh,' he tells her. He wants to listen to the pipe.

SO many surprising possibilities. . . . I have a friend who just settled her daughter into digs on the Champs-Élysées and went home to hold on tighter to her son (still home). . . . But I think she's turning the daughter's room into the artist studio she's always wanted. Oil paints and the smell of turpentine fade if you keep the windows open long enough through a cold winter storm if the girl decides to come home for Christmas.
I enjoyed you catalogue of things going on at home and the many surprises. . . . (still smiling!)

Location: Plant Science Research
Project Number: 6070-22000-018-04-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2014
End Date: Aug 31, 2019
The objective of the cooperative research between Virginia Tech University and the USDA Agricultural Research Service is to evaluate, identify, and develop sources of resistance to stem rust in wheat and barley.
Virginia Tech University will identify and obtain sources of stem rust resistance in cooperation with the USDA/ARS Plant Science Research Unit (PSRU), Barley CAP participants, and other collaborating breeding programs. These sources of resistance will be used as parents in the breeding program to introgress stem rust resistance into advanced breeding lines of winter wheat and barley. Top and/or backcrosses to adapted elite lines will be made to develop desirable segregating populations. When available molecular markers for known sources of stem rust resistance will be used to characterize parental lines and in marker assisted transfer and selection of resistance. Segregating populations developed from the introgressions will be inbred and advanced using traditional and/or marker assisted breeding methods when markers are available. Pure lines selected from advance breeding populations will be genotyped using available molecular markers and phenotypes for reaction to stem rust will be obtained in cooperative disease screening experiments conducted in field, greenhouse and/or growth chamber trials. Elite lines having stem rust resistance will be evaluated in regional and uniform yield nurseries, and superior lines will be released as cultivars. Data and germplasm will be shared between ARS, Virginia Tech, and other collaborating scientists.

text: Reverse psychology backfired on this Canadian cutie's casting agent mom. After a few years residing in LA, his parents' bitter divorce (Jackson is his mother's maiden name.), early experimentation with the San Francisco Boys Chorus and Seattle Children's Theatre and a return to his birthplace, the then 9 year old bugged mom to let him audition and she thought the experience would turn him off the biz. Instead, he landed one commercial after another as well as bit parts on "MacGyver." In 1989, he broke into film and had his first screen kiss with Marg Helgenberger in Crooked Hearts. He captained the titular hockey team in The Might Ducks trilogy. While on a break from filming Apt Pupil, he tried out for what would become his most beloved role to date — Pacey Witter on Dawson's Creek. Six Creek seasons enabled him to book a ton of teen movies (Urban Legend, Cruel Intentions, The Skulls) and a SNL hosting gig. He aged into independent films, a West End run in a David Mamet play (2004), Fox's Fringe (2008-13) and currently the racy Golden Globe winner The Affair. Dating actress Diane Kruger since 2006.

Guyana is the size of Idaho and is situated on the northern coast of South America, east of Venezuela, west of Suriname, and north of Brazil. A tropical forest covers more than 80% of the country.
The Warrou people were the indigenous inhabitants of Guyana. The Dutch, English, and French established colonies in what is now known as Guyana, but by the early 17th century the majority of the settlements were Dutch. During the Napoleonic wars Britain took over the Dutch colonies of Berbice, Demerara, and Essequibo, which became British Guiana in 1831.
Slavery was outlawed in 1834, and the great need for plantation workers led to a large wave of immigration, primarily of East Indians. Today, about half of the population is of East Indian descent and about 36% are of African descent.
In 1889, Venezuela voiced its claim to a large swath of Guyanese territory, but ten years later an international tribunal ruled the land belonged to British Guiana.
Guyana Gains Independence
British Guiana became a Crown colony in 1928, and in 1953 it was granted home rule. In 1950, Cheddi Jagan, who was Indian-Guyanese, and Forbes Burnham, who was Afro-Guyanese, created the colony's first political party, the Progressive People's Party (PPP), which was dedicated to gaining the colony's independence. In the 1953 elections, Cheddi Jagan was elected chief minister. The British, however, alarmed by Jagan's Marxist views, suspended the constitution and government within months and installed an interim government. In 1955, the PPP split, with Burnham breaking off to create the People's National Congress (PNC). The leftist Jagan of the PPP and the more moderate Burnham of the PNC were to dominate Guyanan politics for decades to come. In 1961, Britain granted the colony autonomy, and Jagan became prime minister (1961–1964). Strikes and rioting weakened Jagan's rule, much of it believed to be the result of covert CIA operations. In 1964, Burnham succeeded Jagan as prime minister, a position he retained after the country gained full independence on May 26, 1966. With independence, the country returned to its traditional name, Guyana.
In 1978, the country gained worldwide attention when American religious cult leader Jim Jones and 900 of his followers committed mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana.
Burnham ruled Guyana until his death in 1985 (from 1980 to 1985, after a change in the constitution, he served as president). Guyana's first independent decades were marked by continued racial unrest between Indian-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese as well as economic malaise.
Desmond Hoyte of the PNC became president in 1985, but in 1992 the PPP reemerged, winning a majority in the general election. Jagan became president, and the former Marxist succeeded in reviving the economy. After his death in 1997, his wife, Janet Jagan, was elected president. Former finance minister Bharrat Jagdeo assumed the presidency in 1999.
Racial Disputes, Border Disputes Hinder Progress
Guyana's potential economic development was hurt in 2000 as border disputes with both Venezuela to the west and Suriname to the east heated up. Suriname and Guyana have been unable to resolve the border dispute in an oil-rich coastal area. Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez has revived the 19th-century claim to more than half of Guyana's territory.
In March 2001, Bharrat Jagdeo won a second term in elections that underscored Guyana's bitter racial tensions. The reelection of Jagdeo, an ethnic East Indian, caused rioting among Afro-Guyanese, who claimed widespread election fraud.
In Jan.–Feb. 2005, the country experienced its worst natural disaster. More than a third of the country's population was affected by devastating flooding.
Ramotar Elected President, but His Party Fails to Win Majority
In Nov. 2011, Donald Ramotar, the General Secretary of the People's Progressive Party (PPP), was elected president. Ramotar was the PPP's unanimous choice as the party's presidential candidate. Ramotar was elected by a slim margin while his party fell one seat short of a parliamentary majority, which means two opposition parties would now hold a majority of seats in the National Assembly.
The opposition parties said that the presidential election had been tampered with. However, Guyana's electoral authority reported that the election was fair.
Opposition Wins by Narrow Margin in 2015 Elections
In the 2015 elections, the opposition party, A Partnership for National Unity-Alliance for Change, won by a narrow margin, taking 50% of the vote. President Ramotar's party, the People's Progressive Party, received 49%. Leader of the opposition, David Granger, became president, which ended the People's Progressive Party's 23 year rule.
A military officer, Granger became Commander of the Guyana Defense Force in 1979. He retired from the military in 1992, and founded a news magazine, the Guyana Review, that same year. He served as the magazine's managing editor. Afro-Guyanese, Granger has vowed to ease racial tensions in the country.

It's that time of the year again, time to get on a plane (or planes) and head to Madison, WI, home of fine wine, er, I mean, beer, fried cheeses, rippin' thunderstorms (and the occasional tornado), friendly people and, as Agent Cooper of Twin Peaks might have said, damn fine bikes.
Once a year Trek puts on a big dealer show, partly at the Frank Lloyd Wright center in Madison, and partly (and for many of us, the best part) at Trek's worldwide headquarters and manufacturing facility in Waterloo, WI, about 35 miles northeast. Most of the industry sets up at the annual Interbike trade show in Las Vegas, but some of the largest players, like Trek, Specialized & Giant can't possibly get enough of their dealer's attention for their vast lines and varied programs, so they put on their own private shows.
It all starts with Monday evening's "keynote" speech from John Burke, President of Trek, where we hear about what's new, what's changed, the state of the industry, and how Trek and their dealers have a responsibility not just to sell bikes & tires & jerseys & helmets & shoes & every other fine product made by Trek (and they will most assuredly remind us, many times, that we do have that responsibility!), but also to make cycling more accessible in our communities.
