"Thanks to Lafayette, my daughter has been able to compete with Ivy League students for coveted summer internships. She interned one summer at Goldman Sachs in NYC and another summer at Google at its headquarters in Mountain View, California." – Jill Tanenbaum, Classes of 2012 and 2015 parent
"Lafayette graduates have been great hires. They are prepared emotionally and functionally and contribute very quickly. Many have advanced rapidly in the organization. They have higher natural curiosity and energy than many of their peers. We continue to intern students during the summer—and hire several upon graduation." – Douglas M. Burcin, Global CEO, Havas Health
"As a television producer, I'm always fielding various creative challenges. Lafayette definitely prepared me for this type of professional environment, particularly through its small class sizes and hands-on professors. Your professors knew your name. They asked you to engage in class discussion, and expected you to voice your own unique perspective. That's great preparation for any field where you need to bring something new to the table each day." - Jen Gsell '04, producer, MTV's "Made"
What else are people saying?
"The Lafayette alumni network is incredible. One summer, my daughter was a paid intern for an alumnus in Washington, D.C. Subsequently, she gave her resume to a Lafayette parent who was able to arrange an internship with a judge in the Youthful Offender Part in Manhattan Supreme Court. She currently attends NYU Law." – Celeste Murphy, Class of 2012 parent
"Lafayette graduates enter the workforce with a broad worldview that enables them to interpret and respond to the broad array of challenges faced by global institutions such as ours today. We are looking for students who can communicate effectively across broad audiences, while being well-versed in their field of study. The College prepares the students we need not only to be successful in their field of study, but to be good corporate citizens who can contribute more broadly to the communities in which we operate. Lafayette graduates are among our most senior leaders today." – Dave Taschler, risk, compliance, & business continuity planning manager, Air Products & Chemicals, Inc.
"There is something about Lafayette's environment that nurtures and fortifies students to a point that when they are released from the Hill they are ready to explode into the real world" – Eric Von Arx III '87, professonal artist

Our students gain these in many ways,
including these programs:
In the Economic Empowerment and Global Learning Project, students from different majors work with residents on major community initiatives in areas such as Easton, New Orleans, and Honduras.
The Center for Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership provides opportunities for students from the liberal arts and engineering to work together on real-world problems.
Students from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering collaborate to provide solutions to nonprofit, government, and business clients.
Liberal arts and engineering students are teaming up to resolve some of the most pressing global issues of the 21st century.
We make a strong commitment
to the arts:
- An $800,000 Mellon Foundation grant supports further integration of the performing and visual arts throughout the curriculum and in co-curricular activities.
- A new arts campus is being built to house theater and film and media studies programs, anchored by the existing Williams Visual Arts Building.
- The Creative and Performing Arts (CaPA) Fellowship program provides up to $7,500 to admitted students with a record of achievement in creative and performing arts. The funds are for students to pursue and develop their creative abilities.
We have the resources to:
- Increase the size of the faculty, which means smaller classes and more choices for you.
- Compete in Division I, the highest level of collegiate athletics in the country, in 23 sports.
- Have world leaders visit us and inspire our students. In the past two years alone, they've included:
Joe Biden
Jimmy Carter
Tony Blair
Jane Goodall
"Undergraduate research increases participants' understanding, confidence, awareness, and desire to pursue advanced degrees."
* Stanford Research Institute
- It enhances resumes and problem-solving ability.
- Our exclusive focus on undergraduates means that professors give you—not graduate students—opportunities to conduct research with them in fields ranging from art to neuroscience to chemical engineering.
- You can even get paid to do research through our EXCEL Scholars program.
- Many students go on to co-author publications in academic journals and even to present their research at conferences with travel funding provided by Lafayette—while still undergrads! This provides a big edge for graduate school admission and some job applications as well.
Join Lafayette alumni who are leaders in virtually every field, from art to business, from technology to medicine.
- Our graduates attend top graduate and professional schools, including Berkeley, Duke, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, NYU, Rice, Stanford, UCLA, Virginia, and every Ivy League school.
- Be an award winner! We help our students compete successfully for prestigious scholarships and fellowships, including from the National Science Foundation for graduate study and many Fulbright Grants to study, do research, and teach abroad.

Friday beaver shots
Okay what were you expecting ya perve?
Other news you can't use or could care less about:
Run for your bomb shelters- After a failed rocket launch the North Koreans are set to test an under ground nuke or so it's reported. At what point does the Lame Stream News media start to get it that at a certain point you can't instill fear in the public? Forget violent desensitizing video games we have the nightly news looking to be the first to scare the bejesus out of us. What was that little boy's name who cried wolf anyway?
More earthquakes - Like that doesn't happen on a daily basis only the magnitude is different. In fact out here we have one that happens continuously only it's so low on the Richter scale that nobody notices.
If it bleeds it leads - Three shot dead in Ohio restaurant- What's the matter Jack couldn't you get your side order of toast?
Then there's politics - You wonder why only the crazies run for office? After being analyzed under a microscope by both the media and party strategists is it any wonder? Oh the opponent is using the non environmentally friendly brand of toilet paper now let's have an in depth analysis with our panel of experts.
Beaver shots, pot shots and crack pots, that's about all I got for today. Lot's to do so I'll catch you later and as usual bank fails ...maybe.

I don't have a bomb shelter.
But I'm ready for the big shaker they say is going to hit us sooner or later.
Sane people don't run for office so we're stuck with the crazies.

Let's see, who's it going to be on Meet the Press this Sunday? Will it be the inevitable Lindsey Graham making like Chicken Little about the North Koreans with their growing arsenal of nukes and aggressive ICBM program? Or will it be John McCain railing about the Obama administration letting those commie gooks get away with anything, without even sending a squadron of B-52's over to flatten a few of their cities? Maybe it will be both.
Yeah, why not?

It's mulberry and cherry picking time in Wisconsin, and this big fella fit right in! A rather evolved color (garnet center with bricking at the rim) with dried cherry on the nose. Very very rich on the attack and mid-palate featuring dried cherry and a bit of cassis. Evolved tannins and just a touch of cedar on the finish. Good balance for its type, and it handles the 14.1% alcohol very well indeed. I had hoped to find some secondary flavors, and might have detected cloves; that might be wishful thinking though. Absolutely no evolution in the glass or overnight. I recall that this Cab is the last year that Chappellet included their Pritchard Hill fruit in their standard signature bottling. Starting in 1997, the P.H. fruit became dedicated to a special (and pricier) bottling.
I had opened this out of curiosity, and hadn't expected to care for it given my preference for more structure and rustic flavors. However before I knew it, I'd managed to drink half the bottle while occupied with picking berries and baking a couple of mulberry pies.

Database System Concepts, Volume 1
McGraw-Hill, 2002 - Computers - 1064 pages
The new edition of this book provides improved and extensive coverage of concepts, database system internals and new tools and techniques. It is intended for a first course in databases at the junior or senior undergraduate, or first-year graduate level, and offers a complete background in the basics of database design, language and system implementations. Concepts are presented using intuitive descriptions, and important theoretical results are covered, but formal proofs are omitted. The fundamental concepts and algorithms covered are based on those used in existing commercial or experimental database systems. The authors present these concepts and algorithms in a general setting that is not tied to one particular database system.

Progress report on the Moving Target list: nothing to report. Must try harder!
However I have looked at the BAILEY, INWARDS, and GOSS families in Wing over the last week, and I'm about to look at the PEASE family. If you are connected to any of these and haven't previously been in touch, please email me.
It's also been exciting times for one-place studies generally. Roy Stockdill's article on one-place studies is in the current (May) issue of Family Tree magazine, so do grab a copy if you haven't already seen it - as well as the physical mag you can also buy a digital copy at PocketMags, via iTunes app, Android, whatever! The article mentions me, and more importantly lots of others working hard on their one-place studies as well as the One Place Study website over at http://one-place-studies.org/.

No. 12 Michigan State Beats No. 18 Minnesota 61-50
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gary Harris scored 15 points and Keith Appling added 14 points before leaving the game with an injury to help No. 12 Michigan State bounce back from a poor first half to beat No. 18 Minnesota 61-50 Wednesday night.
Appling left the court with 1:17 left, holding his right shoulder after getting tied up with Joe Coleman. He returned to the bench in the final minute.
The Spartans (19-4 8-2 Big Ten) moved into a second-place tie with No. 3 Michigan, whom they host Tuesday night. They picked up their eighth win in nine games since losing the conference opener against the Golden Gophers (17-6, 5-5) on the road.
Michigan State took control of the rematch with a 21-4 run — after trailing by five points early in the second half — to take a 41-29 lead.
The Gophers didn't have a scorer in double figures until Austin Hollins' 3-pointer with 3:38 left pulled them within five points. Hollins finished with 11 points. Coleman was one of his three teammates with nine points.
The Spartans pulled away with some shots and stops.
Appling made a layup, Adreian Payne connected on two free throws and Harris had a three-point play to put them ahead by 11 points with 1:35 to go. Payne blocked a shot and Derrick Nix had a steal during the victory-sealing stretch.
A fired-up crowd got quiet when Appling left the game in another potential setback for a banged-up team and roared when he jogged back to the bench with 40 seconds left in the game.
Travis Trice, Appling's backup, wasn't cleared after having a head injury last week. Harris played after being knocked out of the previous game with back spasms and was limited in practice early in the week.
The Spartans also lack depth in the backcourt because Brandan Kearney transferred during the season to Arizona State.
Payne was out of the game for part of the second half with a bloody nose.
The Spartans had much more success offensively with their guards shooting from the outside on a night their post players struggled. They made 9 of 18 3-pointers and connected on fewer than 44 percent of their shots overall.
Nix and Payne, both of whom are averaging nine-plus points, both missed all three of their shots and were scoreless in the first half.
Nix made the opening shot of the second half, tying the game at 20 after each team struggled to shoot in the first half. Payne had 11 points in the second half to help Michigan State maintain its dominance against the Golden Gophers.
The Spartans have beaten Minnesota in 13 of the past 15 games overall and 14 straight at the Breslin Center, where they're undefeated this season. That mark will be tested next week against the rival Wolverines and the following week against top-ranked Indiana.

Phoenix-area adaptive reuse project is latest in hospitality partnership
The Phoenix office of architecture firm Shepley Bulfinch and Upward Projects, a group of local restaurateurs, have partnered to create Postino East, a new dining spot in Gilbert, Ariz., and the third in a line of local Postino WineCafe restaurants. The hospitality project involved renovation of 2,700 sf in the southern end of the former GrainBelt Building. It is the second collaboration between Shepley Bulfinch and Upward Projects. The restaurant's design aims to blur boundaries between the indoors and outdoors, with a signature interior-exterior bar to draw in customers and a wraparound patio. Postino East opened in March.
New apartment complex caters to urban residents in Denver suburb
The new three-story Arista Uptown Apartments complex is designed for residents looking for urban, hotel-style living spaces in Broomfield, Colo., situated conveniently between the cities of Denver and Boulder. Designed by KTGY Group and developed by Smith/Jones Partners LLC, the residential community sits on 6.68 acres in the city's Arista neighborhood. A variety of units, from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments, are offered, along with a 4,442-sf clubhouse and fitness center and an 11,000-sf courtyard complete with outdoor pool and spa. The first of eight buildings has been completed, and units are scheduled to open in mid-summer.
Indianapolis office building becomes 21st-century learning environment
A 13,325-sf office building in Indianapolis is being leased by the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township to support Pike Preparatory Academy and Pacers Academy High School, the district's alternative education programs for middle and high school students. Fanning Howey provided design services for the $1.6 adaptive reuse project, replacing rows of cubicles with classrooms, a student lounge, and administrative spaces. The project, completed within 10 months, uses exposed ductwork, undulating metal grids, and extensive use of glass to create a college-type atmosphere. Myers Construction Management served as general contractor.
Lawyers raise the bar for design with renovated Delaware courthouse
Architecture firm Francis Cauffman has completed renovations of a historic 233,880-sf courthouse in downtown Wilmington, Del., to make way for the new headquarters of Delaware law firm Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP. Built in 1916, the Daniel L. Herrmann Courthouse received modern office upgrades to fit in with its iconic Beaux-Arts design. The U-shaped building, with four floors and a mezzanine, features a refurbished central bronze stairwell, a two-story atrium, and an outdoor plaza and garden. A 100-car garage was added beneath the courthouse. Foundations were laid for possible future expansion. +

Flappers are very annoying to find clothing reference for, you know.
Most Google Image Searches for "flapper" or "flapper dress" turns up Halloween costumes or stripper outfits. Which are way, way not accurate. It was still the 1920s, no one was wearing micro-minis. And there was a lot less fringe than you probably think.
Stuff like this is far more accurate, although much nicer than anything Flannery can afford. Still useful, though.
Further props to OMG That Dress! and Louise Brooks For help dressing Templar's favorite Pastime-in-denial.

ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County balloting in the Presidential race on Tuesday mirrored statewide voting, as Vermont became the first state in the nation placed in Democratic President Barack Obama's column in his march toward a second term.
Meanwhile, county voters also backed winners in all statewide contests. Eric Davis, a political analyst and a professor emeritus of political science at Middlebury College, noted how closely local balloting tracked with statewide results in what he called a big day for Democrats across Vermont.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County, Huntington and Buel's Gore voters on Tuesday overwhelming endorsed incumbent Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, for a fifth term in office and also elected New Haven Democrat Chris Bray to represent them in the Legislature's highest chamber.
Ayer, the former Senate majority whip and current chairwoman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, was the top vote-getter, notching 12,943 tallies. Bray, the former Addison-5 state representative and 2010 candidate for lieutenant governor, finished second, with 9,915 votes.
MIDDLEBURY — World War II veteran Ron Hadley of Middlebury has condensed many of his military memories into a couple of photo albums and a small booklet in which he wrote some of the details of his travels throughout the Atlantic and the Pacific.
VERGENNES — Residents of the five Addison Northwest Supervisory Union towns on Tuesday rejected a proposed $6.5 million bond to fund repairs and major upgrades to Vergennes Union High School, 2,244-1,653.
In percentage terms, voters said no by 57.6 to 42.4 percent to a plan that included improvements to the school's auditorium, installation of a six-lane track and an artificial turf playing field, upgrades to its kitchen and cafeteria, roof repairs to several areas of the building, and parking, sidewalk and traffic-flow improvements.
MIDDLEBURY — Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, won re-election to a sixth term representing Addison-5 in the Vermont House on Tuesday after defeating Democrat challenger Ed McGuire of New Haven, 1,145-959.
Smith, 67, is a lifelong farmer and is in his second stint representing Addison-5, a district that includes the towns of New Haven, Bridport and Weybridge.
BRISTOL — The proposed new Bristol town plan passed with a decisive 68.7 percent of the vote on Tuesday, ending an eight-year process that at times seemed to divide the town on issues of zoning proposals and resource extraction.
"In all honesty, I'm ecstatic," said Kris Perlee of the Bristol Planning Commission. "A lot of work was done by a lot of people to make a plan that reflects the desires of the town as a whole."
MONKTON — Vermont State Police on Wednesday evening announced the arrests of three people in connection with a string of recent home and business burglaries spanning from Salisbury to Burlington.
Among those arrested was Chad Cook, 25, of Monkton, whom police cited for forced residential burglary, possession of stolen property and petit larceny. He was held on $25,000 bail at the Chittenden County Correctional Center.

Posts tagged 'pool furniture'
I picked out my first bed frame when I first moved out of college. It was a black iron frame with a scrolled headboard and foot board. I still have it today, six years later and it's been in as many moves. The bed frame has been very versatile with all the different kinds of decor that I've gone through. However, I still remember when I was picking the frame out that I almost went in a completely different direction. There was this one bed in the showroom that had a white frame with a wicker headboard, and I lurved it. Somehow, my mother managed to talk me out of it and convince me that I would have tired of it. Maybe she would have been right, but maybe not. Since then, I have had a long-standing personal lust for more wicker in my life ever since. So, when I stumbled across a website called The Family Love Tree, that sells mostly wicker furniture, I was so pumped to share some of their pieces with you!

Your browser does not support iframes.
I, Lancaster City Councilman Gonzie Mackey, would like to thank everyone for the support, trust and confidence to allow me to serve you for another term in office representing District 2, but truthfully representing the entire city as a whole.
I really take my position as a city councilman very seriously. Like I stated in my first debate, I may not know everyone personally or treat everyone the same, but my promise to you was that I will treat everyone fairly. Your concerns and complaints are mine.
Thanksgiving is when, as a nation, we give thanks for the important blessings in our lives.
For many, that likely includes family, good health, a decent job and the like. And we should be thankful if we enjoy any or all of those things.
For some in our society, however, working hard doesn't always produce enough income to make ends meet.
Many rural and small town Americans depend on something that the rest of us don't likely think about that often, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), to help get through some of the tough times.
Now that the election is over and all the votes have been counted, I want to say a very special thank you to all of you who voted for me in the Cane Creek Watershed Board race. The promise that I make to you is that I will never disappoint you. In fact, you may be pleasantly surprised at how hard I will work for you.
I am looking forward to working with Ann, Amanda and Tony Sistare and all other directors to make this the best watershed possible.
The men and women who have served and fought for our great country's freedom are America's true heroes. Many have lost their lives for our freedom.
May God grant you the peace you deserve and may you get the reward you truly deserve. No country can come close to America, and you made it all possible. America must never fall. We back down from no one.
For all the men and women who have fought and served our great country; for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice; we thank you.
In reading the article, "Man wanted for attempted murder," in the Nov. 12 edition of The Lancaster News, it's obvious someone is not doing his or her job. A person who has been arrested and pleaded guilty 10 times in a seven-year period should never have been released to the public. Who keeps giving him probation?

Thank you to all who voted in this year's election. Your vote is your right to choose who you think will do the best in that position.
I will do my best to serve on the Cane Creek Watershed Board. I will do what I can to make sure that your tax dollars are spent in an appropriate manner for the upkeep of our county's watershed dams, basins and spill-ways. I would also like to thank Amanda Roberts, district manager, for all her help and for the great job that she does for our county.

For as long as I can remember, listening to 1560 WAGL has been a Sunday morning tradition in the households of many families throughout our city, county and beyond under the ownership of Leonard "Len" Phillips.
The station was upgraded in transformer power and well-maintained, according to standards.
With a lot of ambition and hard work, Phillips took WAGL to another level. And our little station became the center of mass communication, information and music in our little city and county.
Please give us a community update on the convenience center or trash dump for Indian Land.
We can now see that Lancaster County has sold the land at the old school site to someone so they should have lots of money now to give us back a trash dump.
Yes, I am aware that lots of folks use trash pickup services, but there are still some old country folks here who do not want to pay for something that we pay taxes for.
Isaiah was right when he said woe to those who call evil good and good evil. That time is now. Truth is subjective.
The voters of Houston elected a lesbian mayor. Now we see that the devil and his children do not play fair; they play dirty.
There was enough uproar to cause her to remove the subpoena request for sermon notes.
The progressives will not let up and are going to make your church marry homosexuals or you will be thrown into jail and your church siezed.
In 2010, we were tired of Congress voting for more taxes and more spending and voted for a change.
Mick Mulvaney was part of that change because we knew we couldn't keep doing more of the same in Washington.
Guess what? We can't keep doing the same kind of tax-and-spend in Lancaster County either.
That's why I like John Hess. He's a career financial planner who can help our county plan its finances better. He's active in the community and helps manage the finances of individuals and businesses in our county.

GERSHWIN American in Paris,IVES Symphony/Bernstein 0734513
This performance is relaxed and easy-going, achieving some lovely -- almost Korngoldian -- sonorities in the quieter moments. . . . the orchestra plays with grace and beauty, highlighted by Gerard Schwarz's delicate, golden trumpet solos . . . Deutsche Grammophon gets amazingly clean, transparent sound from Royal Albert Hall . . . I find it most refreshing. . . . "The Unanswered Question" is a blessing. It is a stunning performance, contrasting Gerard Schwartz's questioning, distant trumpet . . . with especially raucous outbursts from the woodwinds, while the strings hover quietly. . . . it makes its point about the ethereal, eternal nature of the music.

In America, we greet each other by shaking hands. It is a sign of respect.
Instructors from Japan or Okinawa might or might not feel comfortable shaking hands. There, it is more typical to show respect by exchanging bows. If the instructor has been to America many times, he will probably shake hands. But if he has not, there might be an awkward moment when it is unclear whether you should bow or shake hands.
If you are going to show respect by bowing, it is important to learn the proper way to bow. The junior initiates the bow and bows lower than the senior. The junior remains in the bow position until after the senior has begun to rise. The junior should look down, about towards the senior's knees. It is not appropriate to look into the senior's eyes during the bow.
Any breach of the protocol applicable to bowing could be perceived as disrespect. It is therefore important to learn to bow correctly. Ask your Sensei to teach you the protocol applicable in your dojo.
Sometimes I will have one of my students act as a visiting senior instructor and have the entire class take turns bowing to him. The "senior" will stand at the head of the class, for example, and the class will form a circle. The circle will rotate, giving each student a chance to pass in front of the "senior" and bow.
Visiting instructors may meet a large number of students. Each time they shake hands, there is a risk of germs and diseases. I have heard that some politicians who shake hands frequently, use sanitizing liquids to reduce the risks of germs.

The first song the broader world heard from the Beatles wasn't one of the pop-music gems that seemed to flow so effortlessly from the pens of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, nor was it any of their versions of American R&B and blues songs that were a crucial component of their early repertoire.
It was a Scottish folk song, "My Bonnie," a recording made in 1961 — two years before Beatlemania erupted. On that record, Lennon, McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr's predecessor in the group, drummer Pete Best, backed another British rocker, Tony Sheridan.
Sheridan, 72, died Saturday in Hamburg, Germany, according to an announcement from his family on Facebook.
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2013
Sheridan met the Beatles in 1960 in Germany when he was headlining clubs in the grittier parts of Hamburg at the same time the Beatles were honing their musical skills playing red-light district bars and clubs there. Soon he enlisted them as his backup band.
Upon seeing one of their performances, German producer Bert Kaempfert, who'd had his own No. 1 hit in the U.S. in 1960 with "Wonderland By Night," offered Sheridan the opportunity to record and to bring the Beatles in to play with him.
Those recordings were the group's first commercially released studio recordings, and included "My Bonnie," a rocked-up treatment of a song usually played as a waltz. It became a minor hit when re-released in the U.S. after the group's popularity exploded stateside.
Sheridan, according to later interviews, didn't even like the song but it was a canny choice by Kaempfert, who chose it with a German audience in mind, knowing that many German youths had learned "My Bonnie" in school during English studies.
Because the name "Beatles" sounded dangerously close to a German euphemism for male genitalia, Kaempfert changed their name to "the Beat Brothers" for the sessions with Sheridan, which also yielded one song with Lennon singing the lead vocal on the 1920s pop love song, "Ain't She Sweet," and one instrumental credited to Lennon and Harrison, "Cry for a Shadow."
"My Bonnie" was issued in the U.S. on April 19, 1962, making it the first recording featuring the members of the Beatles issued in this country, but it caused little stir. A week after the Beatles' first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February 1964, however, "My Bonnie" was reissued and jumped onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 26. "Ain't She Sweet" broke into the Top 20 a few months later, reaching as high as No. 19.
Sheridan also helped introduce the Beatles to the music of seminal American rockers such as Little Richard, who strongly influenced the direction of their own music. Even though he was only five months older than Lennon, Sheridan functioned as an older, wiser mentor — McCartney sometimes referred to him as "The Teacher" — because he'd gotten his career off the ground a little earlier, having formed a skiffle group in London in 1956, the year before McCartney met Lennon in Liverpool.
"Tony was a good guy who we knew and worked with from the early days in Hamburg," Paul McCartney said in a statement issued Monday. "We regularly watched his late night performances and admired his style. He will be missed."
Tony Sheridan, who was born Anthony Esmond Sheridan McGinnity on May 21, 1940, in Norwich, England, also gave the Beatles fashion advice, coaching them on the black leather jackets, tight black jeans and pointed-toe boots that were a strong part of their public image until manager Brian Epstein came aboard and shifted them into clean-cut collarless suits that helped get them onto British TV and became synonymous with Beatlemania in the early going.
Sheridan made an appearance last year at a Beatles fan convention in San Diego, then returned to Germany where he recently underwent heart surgery.

SEATTLE — One of the world's most popular hip-hop artists stood on the sideline of his beloved Seattle Seahawks last Sunday before their NFC championship game against San Francisco.
"I grew up in Seattle, and I've been a Seattle sports fan my entire life," said Ben Haggerty, known by his stage name, Macklemore. He wore a vintage Seahawks jacket and shiny high tops that had the psychedelic sheen of a hologram sticker.
"There's a mutual respect" between musicians and athletes, he said in an interview with The Times. "I go into each performance like an athlete. I'm prepared. I'm physically fit to the utmost, and it's a performance. It's just like going into a game. For people who devote their life, and sacrifice everything and take it 100% seriously with dedication, there's parallels all over the board."
Haggerty, 30, has become friends with Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll, 62, who reached out to him last year after falling in love with Macklemore's music. Carroll bought an album and spent much of last season playing it on an endless loop in his Seahawks office. Typically, the coach has his sound system cranked so loud his secretary has to turn it down when he steps out of his corner office.
"He immediately resonated with the music," Haggerty said. "He's somebody who's 62 years old, but looks like he's 45, and acts like he's 30. He's just a cool coach and down-to-earth person."
The connection was made after Carroll heard and liked one of Macklemore's songs on the radio, and asked his assistant, Ben Malcolmson, to research the artist.
Said Carroll: "When [Malcolmson] told me he's from Seattle, I said, 'Really? If he's in Seattle, let's get ahold of him. Ask him if he wants to come to practice sometime.'"
A couple of days later, Carroll was at WaMu Theater in Seattle, catching Macklemore's kickoff show for his Heist Tour.
"It was packed," the coach said. "They were growing crazy — thousands of people — singing his songs. Everybody knew every word of his songs. They loved him. He announced that night that his song, 'Thrift Shop,' had just made it to No. 1 on iTunes. All that happened within three days. I thought, this guy's awesome.
"I walked down into a team meeting and asked, 'Has anybody ever heard of a group called Macklemore?' Two guys raised their hands. Nobody knew him in our little world. And [15] months later, here he is."
Haggerty, who is also a friend of Seahawks such as quarterback Russell Wilson, safety Earl Thomas and linebacker Bobby Wagner, sees parallels in his rise up the music charts and the Seahawks getting to Super Bowl XLVIII.
"We're in the upper-left part of the country, and it is forgotten," he said.
"It's never been associated really with hip-hop music. And the fact that we've had the year that we've had, kind of a breakthrough year, brought the attention up to Seattle and defined Seattle as a place of not only grunge music and coffee and rain, but a place of great hip-hop music. And also great football, top-tier athletes here in Seattle and the greatest coach in the NFL. So it all kind of happened at the same time."

CLEARANCE - New Sicilian GambitsProduct Code: CB0025CD
Publisher: Chess Digest
Author: Andrew Soltis
Year of Publication: 1993
Pages: 121
Notation Type: Algebraic (AN)
Book DescriptionGM Soltis: "If white gets to attack in the Sicilian Defense anyway, why should he offer a pawn or two for the privilege? The answer is that black gets to counterplay in the Sicilian and his counterplay is usually as good as white's. That, in fact, is what makes the Sicilian popular. There are plenty of familiar Sicilian gambits(like the Smith Morra and Wing, which this book doesn't even cover). But in the last few years, a number of new ideas arising out of positional variations, have been discovered and found to pack a wallop for white". Here are six new white gambits against the Sicilian that the reader will have to attempt to destroy black!

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog! My name's Zoe and this blog is all about my explorations into sewing and refashioning. These passions form a big part of my desire to live a more sustainable and authentic life. I also aim to inspire and assist others in making/remaking their own clothing.
I firmly believe that sewing and creating can have a fantastic impact on mental health, and am also convinced that enjoying sewing needn't break the bank.
I'm the creator of the popular online challenges called Me-Made-May which ask sewers/knitters/crocheters/refashioners to wear hand-created clothing every day for a month. The aim is to encourage people to bring the DIY and handmade ethos into their everyday lives, and to develop a better relationship with your handmade wardrobe. The next challenge will be Me-Made-May '16, sign-ups begin on 1st April 2016!!!
Currently, I live in Hastings on the South Coast of the UK with my husband and our daughter Dolores. I am a self-employed sewing teacher, and can be found teaching classes at:
The Village Haberdashery, West Hampsted, London,
Tilly and the Buttons's HQ, London,
MIY Workshop, Brighton, East Sussex,
I also organise an annual contemporary craft and handmade market called Brighton Craftaganza.
You can contact me at: sozoblog (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm always open to collaborations and ideas related to sewing, refashioning and sustainability.

Hurdle not satisfied, wants to win it all in Steel City
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle is heading into the final year of his contract.
Not that he cares.
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle is heading into the final year of his contract.
Not that he cares.
Hurdle has only one focus -- getting the Pirates ready for the 2014 season. They made a major step forward in 2013, ending two decades of failure by having their first winning season and making the postseason for the first time since 1992.
He's looking for another leap forward this year.
"We want to win the division," said Hurdle. "We want to win the World Series. The football team has won six championships. We want to win six in baseball."
And if that happens, Hurdle knows, everything else takes care of itself.
Hurdle knows too well about hype. At the age of 20, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, proclaimed baseball's next superstar. While he did spend all or part of 10 seasons in the big leagues, he only played in as many as 100 games twice, including that rookie season of 1978. He made his final appearance in the big leagues at the age of 29.
Unmet expectations can be a burden, but for Hurdle they turned into a foundation. They helped him as a coach and manager to keep his focus on what is happening today, and not what people predict for tomorrow. It's why he shows up every day upbeat. He is looking forward to the daily challenges. He is able to shake off yesterday's disappointment.
"You want to make God laugh?" Hurdle often asks. "Tell him what you plan to do tomorrow."
That's why Hurdle is able to keep his sights on the opening of Spring Training next week, even though he, Fredi Gonzalez of Atlanta, Ron Roenicke of Milwaukee and Ron Washington of Texas are the only big league managers without guarantees past 2014.
Hurdle was in a similar situation a year ago, and the Pirates exercised his option for 2014 in the early days of camp, which most likely will happen this year.
"I don't have any worries," said Hurdle. "I have my health and I'm happy. That's all I need. I have a contract. The length of the contract never affects the way I do my job."
And Hurdle has done quite a job in Pittsburgh. Not only did he manage the Pirates into the postseason last season, but that came after seeing the Pirates let winning seasons slip away with second-half demises in 2011 and '12.
That, however, is now history. PNC Park has become the place to be in the Steel City.
"We are rebonding with the city," said Hurdle. "The pride and passion is back."
Funny thing is Hurdle actually feels the passion returned two years ago, despite a nightmarish second-half fade. The Pirates were in first place as late as July 18 in the 2012 season. They were 16 games over .500 (58-42) as late as July 28. They lost 41 of the final 62 games, won only seven of 28 games in September.
"The expectations actually began to change [in 2012]," said Hurdle. "People were visibly upset we were not in the playoffs. They had seen the team get better. They were frustrated."
In 2013, the initial needs were met. The Pirates did not have a losing record in any month. And more importantly they dealt with the pressure of a battle with Cincinnati for the top National League Wild Card spot, underscored by going into Cincinnati and sweeping a three-game series Sept. 27-29, putting the Pirates in command in the Wild Card.
The fans found a reason for celebration.
"The players are the big reason for that change," said Hurdle. "They have reestablished the feeling. They are the ones who wear the uniforms. They have rewarded the fan base that had waited so long."
Don't, however, downplay the role Hurdle has played in reviving fan interest in the Pirates.
He brought a visible face to the franchise, enjoying mingling with the public.
"I have to get groceries, I have to eat," he said. "The car needs gas. The kids go to school and someone has to drop them off and pick them up. … Pittsburgh is a fit for us, and I like to think we're a fit for Pittsburgh."
Hurdle also is a regular at the NFL's Steelers and NHL's Penguins home games. He and his daughter and son wear their personalized jerseys to the games, except when the Lions or Red Wings, the teams he has followed since childhood, are in town.
"We just stayed home those times," Hurdle said with a smile.
Hurdle, after all, has to stay true to himself.

KENT, Ohio (AP) The division has been clinched and along with it a spot in next week's Mid-American Conference championship. After that, a trip to a bowl game.
Kent State, ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 1973, has rarely had it so good. And, it would appear there is little to be gained on Friday in a conference finale against Ohio.
A win over the Bobcats would complete the greatest regular season in Kent State football's 90-year history. It would also bolster the school's bowl resume, send the team's seniors out in style and make coach Darrell Hazell an even hotter commodity than he is already.
It would be easy to coast to the finish line. Hazell won't allow it.
``This game is like every other game on our schedule,'' said Hazell, who in just two seasons has moved Kent State to the top of the underrated MAC. ``We owe it to our seniors who take their last step in Dix Stadium. We are going to play. We are all competitors. We are going to play every single contest as hard as we can to win the football game. We are going to do everything we can to win.''
The 23rd-ranked Golden Flashes (10-1, 7-0), who will face No. 24 Northern Illinois in the MAC title game next week, are trying to finish off a season unlike any other at Kent State.
They've already eclipsed the school record for wins set by the 1973 team that was coached by Don James and included Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert and Alabama coach Nick Saban, a skinny safety back in those days. There hasn't been an 8-0 team in the MAC East in conference play since Miami in 2003.
Hazell is weary of the Bobcats (8-3, 4-3), who knocked off Penn State to open the season and were ranked just a few weeks ago before dropping three of their last four.
``We are not going to do anything we haven't done for the past 11 weeks as far as preparation,'' he said. ``It is a good Ohio football team that has lost three games in the MAC. They are very dangerous. We have to do a good job in all phases to be successful.''
That's been the key all season for Kent State.
Among the nation's best rushing teams, the Golden Flashes also lead all FBS schools in turnover margin, and in junior running back/return specialist Dri Archer, have one college football's most electrifying players.
Archer, whose blistering speed has attracted the attention of NFL scouts, leads the nation in kick return average. He's also fourth in all-purpose yards, tied for fifth in scoring and is averaging a mind-blowing 10.3 yards per carry. In last week's win over Bowling Green, Archer reeled off two long touchdown runs, including an oh-no-he-didn't 74-yarder that became one of those plays looped day and night on ESPN.
Racing down the left sideline, the 5-foot-8, 175-pound Archer appeared to be stopped near midfield by several defenders. He momentarily vanished before emerging like a surfer lucky to stay on his board in a monster wave. He cut back across the field, picked up a few blockers and jetted to the end zone.
Even as he watched the tape, Archer couldn't believe what he had done.
``Wow, that really happened,'' said Archer, who rushed for a career-high 241 yards as Kent State clinched the East. ``It catches me off guard sometimes what I do, but it turned out good for us. The only thing I was thinking about was not getting tackled.''
That's now Ohio's concern, and Bobcats coach Frank Solich knows the only way his team has a chance is to slow down Archer.
``We've had some really good playmakers in the MAC, but he's something special,'' Solich said. ``I think that you could place him in any conference in the country and he would be special. He's not big, he's got great speed and he's very fluid in his running style. You can use him a lot of different ways, and Kent State does a great job with that.
``If you let him get started, he's got a shot at things. You've got to control him some. He's going to have some big plays, you just hope that everyone that's built around him offensively doesn't also have big plays.''
The Bobcats, who have never beaten a ranked team in 15 tries, are coming off a disappointing 52-27 loss to Ball State on Nov. 14. But the extra time off has allowed a team that has had more than its share of injuries some time to recover and Solich is confident his team can give Kent State its best shot.
``You better be a really good football team to win games, and you better have a little luck on the way,'' he said. ``We were a really good football team that didn't have a lot of luck. We'll finish off very well. I like the attitude of our team, and they'll be ready to play.''

Emergency Management
Emergency Management can be broadly defined as applying science, technology, planning, and management to prevent and respond to extreme events. These events can be natural disasters, technological disasters, or terrorist attacks. The field is closely tied to both Environmental Health & Safety and Environmental Management. Emergency Management, though, focuses exclusively on prevention and response to disasters - catastrophic events that cause harm to people, property, and/or the environment.
Emergency Management is perhaps more important today than it is ever has been. Humans increasingly come in closer and closer contact to environments and technologies that are inherently dangerous, and this increases the likelihood of catastrophic events occurring. People may choose to build their homes in the paths of hurricanes, for example, or where forest fires are a frequent occurrence. It is important to note, however, that disasters can strike anyone at any time. This is especially true of terrorist attacks.
The Academic Requirements
Emergency Management certificates are available at many colleges, universities and training centers. A few schools offer Bachelor's degrees in EM. Students learn about the underlying causes of disasters and how they can be prevented or prepared for. Some science and policy courses should be expected, and courses in Environmental Health and Environmental Management are usually part of any Emergency Management degree or certificate program. Disaster mitigation is also an important part of Emergency Management.
If possible, students should try to participate in an internship to gain hands-on experience in the field. Internships may be available at your city, county or state emergency management center, or on the Federal level. Internships with non-profit and for-profit private groups can also be a valuable experience.
Here are some courses that we've seen:
- Environmental Regulations and Laws
- Environmental Sampling and Statistics
- Industrial Hygiene and OSHA Standards
- Management of Safety & Health Problems
- Disaster Preparedness Response
- Hazardous Materials Management & Mitigation
- Terrorism and Emergency Management
- Environmental Geology
- Maps & Map Reading
- Society & Collective Behavior
- Geographic Information Systems
- Coastal Geology
Professional Outlook
Emergency Managers fill many roles. They help to educate people, businesses and governments about how to prepare for natural disasters, how to prevent technological disasters, and how to respond to potential terrorist attacks. They also help coordinate rescue efforts and emergency care for those hit by disasters. Managers with environmental health training educate people about environmental health threats and help in disaster response. Areas where these specialists may work include prevention and response to:
- Terrorism attacks that release biological, chemical or otherwise threatening agents
- Natural disasters that release harmful agents. For example, earthquakes that produce airborne particles and disrupt the supply of clean water.
- Technological disasters, such as at a chemical or nuclear facility, or involving the accidental release of harmful agents.
Emergency Managers who are called in to help respond to a disaster may be exposed to harmful conditions, even when precautions are taken. They may have to work long hours, and they are often exposed to the psychological stress of helping others deal with a disaster. Important skills for Emergency Managers include cooperation, the ability to lead groups of professionals and non-professionals, the ability to make quick, competent decisions, and compassion and a desire to help others.
Here are some job titles that we've seen, including some of the organizations that offer them, all of which included a requirement for experience in Emergency Management:

The Alive staff triple-teamed the Sunday awesome concert logjam in Columbus, with editor Justin McIntosh hitting up Spiritualized at the Wex and music writer Andy Downing taking on the big Queens of the Stone Age show outdoors at the LC.
The Alive staff triple-teamed the Sunday awesome concert logjam in Columbus, with editor Justin McIntosh hitting up Spiritualized at the Wex and music writer Andy Downing taking on the big Queens of the Stone Age show outdoors at the LC.
I was definitely feeling the conundrum. QOTSA is always killer live, and they're touring on their best album in years. Spiritualized is still on my bucket list. But I went with the chance to see a breakout band in the cozy confines of The Basement. And I have no regrets.
Savages is an all-female four-piece that has the British music magazines frothing. And I'm a musical anglophile, so I try to never miss buzzy Brit bands when they come to town. Because, let's be honest, Columbus isn't a hotbed for the UK market. The Basement has been the venue of choice for some bands that are much, much larger in the homeland (I've seen stellar sets from The Joy Formidable, British Sea Power and Biffy Clyro there).
It was, most assuredly, an intimate affair. I'd estimate 50 people, and there was room on the floor. Good in the sense of not having to deal with The Basement's notoriously tough sightlines during a packed show, but bad in the sense that we need to support good bands when they come to town. C'mon, Columbus.
It was a blistering, noisy and generally transcendent run through band's blistering, noisy and generally transcendent debut album Silence Yourself. Singer Jehnny Beth is pure intensity, wailing over the wall of noise behind her with a rawness that evokes Siouxsie Sioux or even Ian Curtis. Savages make their revival of post-punk noise feel fresh and vital.
The band also joined the recent trend of posted notices requesting that patrons turn of their phones. I'm as guilty as anyone, but it's a nice change of pace to be the in moment. I'll just have to apply Instagram filters to my memories, I guess.
Interestingly, Savages will be joining the band playing opposite them at the LC later on the Queens of the Stone Age tour - their tours just happened to convene in Columbus. My hopes that the concert gods might actually have the foresight to just add Savages to the QOTSA bill were actually apparently considered. "We were invited to play next door with Queens," Beth said late in the set. "We said, nah, we'll play our own show. Thanks."
Like my compatriots, I have no regrets about my decision on the night.

Research and experience demonstrate that there are critical junctures along the pathway to community college completion where students tend to lose momentum and drop out.
For many young Americans, community college represents one of the few remaining pathways to the American Dreamin fact, community colleges serve nearly half of the nation's undergraduate population. Yet less than half of the country's community college students graduate or transfer within 6 years.
Efforts to improve student learning and success at community colleges are in the spotlight, both in national policy and on community college campuses around the country. One of the central tenets of these efforts is to keep changes and improvements student-centeredthat is, to keep the ultimate goal of improving the student experience in sight throughout the process of change.
Research and experience demonstrate that there are critical junctures along the pathway to community college completion where students tend to lose momentum and drop out. As we strive to improve the community college student experience, we must identify and address those junctures and listen to what students themselves have to say about what will help them maintain and increase momentum.
Keeping students voices and experiences at the center of reform plans can enhance the legitimacy of proposed reforms, their effectiveness, and their sustainability.
As part of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations Postsecondary Success Initiative, Completion By Design, Public Agenda, in partnership with WestEd, spoke to current and former community college students in a series of focus groups in March 2012, to listen to what they had to say about the relationship between their goals for, and experiences in, college.
We paid special attention to examining how some students succeed, why some do not, and what students think could have helped them be more successful. For example, we asked students how important they believed it was to have a concrete end goal in mind early in their college careers. We also asked at what point during their college experience did they feel they should be encouraged to narrow their focus toward a specific goal, whether academic or professional? What would they describe as the most promising changes that colleges could make to help them complete their degree or transfer to a four-year institution?
The video, "Student Voices on the Pathway to Completion," follows community college students as they talk about what helps and hinders them in their college experience. The video puts community college students' questions, concerns and experiences at the forefront in order to provoke our thinking, raise questions, and spark conversations and action planning for student success. How can community colleges improve the roadmap and help students realize their goals?
Completion By Design is an initiative of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations Postsecondary Success Strategy. Suggested Citation: (2012). Student Voices on the Higher Education Pathway: Preliminary Insights & Stakeholder Engagement Considerations. San Francisco, CA: WestEd.
With 44% of all U.S. undergraduates attending community colleges, efforts to improve student success at these institutions continue to capture the national policy spotlight.

Bird flu confirmed in Wales
Not the really scary one, though
Bird flu has been confirmed at a farm in Wales, but it is not the virulent and potentially-fatal-for-humans strain H5N1, but another, called H7N2. There is now a 1km exclusion zone around the farm.
According to a BBC report, the owners of the farm bought 15 Rhode Island Red chickens two weeks ago. The first chicken became ill on 7 May, and 10 of them were dead by 17 May. All the birds are now dead. Possible sources of infection are still being investigated, health authorities say.
Two adults who had close conatct with the birds have developed flu-like symptoms. They are being treated, as a precaution, but if they have been infected, are not expected to become seriously ill.
"We have no reason to believe this is spreading rapidly," said Dr Christianne Glossop, Wales's chief vet. She added "While we are taking it very seriously, this is a low pathogenic avian flu."
She advised nearby bird keepers to watch their flocks for flu-symptoms, but said farmers were not being asked to move their birds indoors.
Other birds from the affected farm, including two geese, are being slaughtered today. ®

The Eclipse Foundation has announced a major upgrade to the Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) project. PDT is an open source development tool that provides all the basic code editing capabilities developers need to get started developing PHP applications. The focus of the PDT 2.0 release is to add support for the object-oriented programming features of PHP and to improve the overall user experience of the PDT environment.
To support the object-oriented features of PHP, PDT 2.0 now includes:
- Type Hierarchy view that navigates object-oriented PHP code faster and more easily.
- Type and method navigation that allows for easy searching of PHP code based on type information.
- Override indicators that visually tag PHP methods that have been overridden.
Usability improvements to PDT 2.0 include:
- A new indexing and caching engine, based on the Eclipse Dynamic Language Toolkit (DLTK), which significantly improves the overall performance of common PDT operations.
- A new Mark Occurrences indicator that makes it easier for developers to see where an element is referenced.
- A more sophisticated Code Assist feature that is smarter about providing code completion options based on PHP variable types.
"PDT is one of our most popular downloads at Eclipse," said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Since the initial release it has been downloaded over 1 million times. Clearly PDT adoption has been very successful in the Eclipse and PHP communities."
Andi Gutmans, co-founder of Zend Technologies, a contributor to the PDT project, added that "Release 2.0 demonstrates our continued commitment to the Eclipse community. PDT is not only the premier open source PHP development tool, but is also the basis for Zend's commercial, professional-grade IDE for PHP, Zend Studio for Eclipse. Additionally, in order to further align with Eclipse, PDT will become part of the Eclipse Galileo simultaneous release."
PDT is available for download here.

The Beauties Resulting from Living by the Qu'ran's Morality
In order to understand the beauties that people will enjoy in a society ruled by Qur'an's values, one needs to analyze the corruption found in societies that follow other values. In such societies, people are vulnerable to all forms of immorality. Devout believers avoid immorality because they heed and are conscious of Allah, acknowledge that He knows whatever they try to conceal, and are aware that they will have to account for their deeds on the Day of Judgment. Thus, they do not engage in any immoral behavior, commit fraud or murder, take bribes, and so on.
But the unbelievers can indulge in such vices with ease. Since they have no fear or awareness of Allah, they have no motive to acquire a good attitude and thoughts or to urge themselves to follow their conscience. In an unbelieving society, all forms of immorality can be considered legitimate depending on the conditions because its people have arrogated to themselves the power to decide what is right and what is wrong. However, the believers never swerve from justice, tolerance, patience, honesty, and moral excellence. Allah describes such people as follows:
Those who fulfill Allah's contract and do not break their agreement; those who join what Allah has commanded to be joined, stand in awe of their Lord, and fear an evil Reckoning; those who are steadfast in seeking the face of their Lord, establish prayer, give from the provision We have given them, both secretly and openly, and stave off evil with good—they will have the Ultimate Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 20-22)
The pervasive spread of immorality and degradation is the most telling attribute in societies that are far from the Qur'an's morality. In such societies, family and business life, politics, and human relations undergo rapid degeneration, for a life devoid of fear and consciousness of Allah sees no rules or limits. In this kind of life, the self's pleasures and ambitions see no limits.
A natural consequence of degeneration, namely, the degeneration of the family structure, which is the basic unit of all societies, is the destruction of society as a whole. Feelings of respect, love, and compassion are replaced by selfish desires; people start to pursue nothing but their own interests and violate others' rights. Nobody helps the needy, and the well-off seek only to hoard all they can, and harbor no humane values.
In a society made up of believers, however, helping people or making sacrifices display a believer's morality, which is praised by and recommended in the Qur'an. Muslims give to the needy and, in return, expect only Allah's reward:
Those who recite the Book of Allah, establish prayer, and give of what We have provided for them, secretly and openly, hope for a transaction that will not prove profitless. (Surah Fatir: 29)
In societies that are far removed from the Qur'an's morality, nobody thinks about the good, comfort, security, and health of anybody else. Selfish desires guide people's decisions, for the goal is always to earn and possess more. Such people feign ignorance about what is going around them, and it never occurs to them that they should try not to be so wasteful or to help those who are starving or facing other difficulties. When they make unjust gains or attempt to achieve wealth through plunder, they see the plight of those who suffer from the consequences of this process, and yet are not moved by such people's misery. People treat one another well only if they can perceive that it is somehow in their interest to do so.
Failure to embrace the Qur'an's values accounts for theft, bribery, suicide, abuse, and social injustice, for only people endowed with such values behave justly under all circumstances, constantly do good deeds, and seek Allah's good pleasure and the eternal life of the Hereafter. Furthermore, in a society made up of such morally excellent people, justice penetrates every sphere of life.
In this blessed period that is coming closer, there will be morally excellent people who will exercise justice, live by the letter and the spirit of the Qur'an's values, and communicate them to people. One factor that will secure the prevailing peace, security, and comfort of the Golden Age is the moral excellence displayed by Muslims. Abundance, blessings, and wealth will reach their peak level. With a subtle understanding of justice, everyone will be treated equally, and no one's wants and needs will be neglected.

The recent explosion of sites dedicated to sharing products that you love (Pinterest, Fancy, Wanelo) has brought another trend to the startup world, analytics and rewards platforms. Companies want to know who is sharing their goods and, and they want to reward them. Services such as Klout play in this space with their "perks" feature, but that is more of a way to target marketing efforts instead of rewarding advocates. There is also Refer.ly out of Mountain View, run by former Seattleite Danielle Morrill, a service that allows you to create links and reap a 5 percent commission on any referrals.
Qoiza, a new startup out of Seattle, is looking to make their mark in the space, launching their app in the Apple App Store today. They've created a mobile platform that both allows users to share their favorite products with their friends while also providing analytics to businesses about top supporters. They also have incorporated gameification elements into the app, giving users a "Q score" that measures your engagement on Qoiza along with awarding users with "Q points" for, among other things, adding new products or pictures.
They aren't alone in targeting mobile. Companies like Path also are taking that approach. Although it may seem that targeting only mobile is cutting off a large portion of the market, reports from top sites, like Fab, have shown that around 40 percent of traffic comes from mobile users. Mary Meeker of KCPB also made a point to cover the promise of mobile in her latest annual overview of Internet trends.
We caught up with Qoiza co-founder Kelly Malone, a former Microsoft and Visio manager, for this edition of Startup Spotlight:
Explain what you do so our parents can understand it: "We help you discover your friend's favorite products, and share the ones you love."
Inspiration hit us when: "Qoiza (phonetically means 'stuff' in Portuguese) was born out of a simple point of frustration: Sharing products and finding friend's favorite products simply isn't practical using Facebook or other available solutions. We started with a simple iPhone app that gave users the ability to share their favorite products with their friends. The application reached the iTunes App Store this last spring. We then quickly realized the problem and the opportunities were much bigger."
VC, Angel or Bootstrap: "We bootstrapped until this April when we released our MVP. We then opened up a 'seed' round for Angel investors in order to accelerate product development and time to market."
Our 'secret sauce' is: "For us – It is all about the USERS! Acquiring those fanatic/early adopters who use Qoiza daily for discovering and sharing great products with their friends – this is what is making us successful. We are targeting passionate user communities that spark product sharing and discovery among like-minded fans and friends. I guess you're probably wondering, "How do they do that?" – isn't that why it's called secret sauce?"
The smartest move we've made so far: "Our Team. We worked together at a previous start-up – building, marketing and selling mobile applications to major consumer brands. Together, we successfully launched the North American subsidiary of Spring Wireless from here in Seattle following a $66M investment from Goldman Sachs and NEA. We've also experienced setbacks like the day when SAP pulled their offer to acquire us in early 2010. We've worked through the 'ups' and 'downs' together and know what it takes!"
The biggest mistake we've made so far: "We often make mistakes because we're constantly TESTING NEW CONCEPTS. At the 'end of the day', or more correctly 'late at night during the weekend', it all comes down to how quickly you realize when things go wrong and how fast you jump in with unstoppable energy to attack the issue until it simply works great!"
Would you rather have Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg or Bezos in your corner: "We admire them all – Bill, Mark, Jeff – "We're not worthy!" Seriously though, at this stage we would look to have Zuckerberg in our corner. First, we are building a product-graph and it would clearly be to our advantage to have his insight and support. Second – Hey Mark, didn't you recently say that your biggest challenge right now is adapting your social network to the mobile world? Well, we have some great integration with Facebook that we will continue to extend."
Our world domination strategy starts when: "Every time you think about your favorite products you look to Qoiza. Much like when you think of places you look to Foursquare, or when you think friends you look to Facebook, or when you think "rain in July?" you look to Seattle. You get the idea."
Rivals should fear us because: "In biz like in war: We take no prisoners!"
We are truly unique because: "We believe Qoiza can drive a different mode of being in the world. It's about changing the relationships we have with the products in our lives. It's no longer just about buying stuff, it's about what you own! Don't get us wrong – it's not bad to buy things you like. What you need are things that you genuinely love & cherish, that inspire passion, or truly enhance your life. These are things that reflect who you are to the people around you – your friends, family & colleagues. The rest is simply dross."
The biggest hurdle we've overcome is: "The biggest hurdle so far is the transition from a well-funded start-up to bootstrapping our own gig. Our team has achieved great success together, but we really had to start from scratch here and without the security we once had (like regular paychecks)."
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to other entrepreneurs just starting out: "Do not wait for the right moment. As a matter of fact, if you wait for the right moment it may never come. This is one of those situations where you need to trust your gut and go for it. That's what we did and it has been a very rewarding experience so far. The indescribable feeling of creating something from napkin sketches into a compelling product. The long hours executing and developing product. The pitches to angels, VC's, and to your wives and girlfriends (you never win this one). These experiences help you develop as a professional and a leader regardless of where the start-up ends up."

It took Georgia hay farmer Whipple Simpson six years to develop and patent his "T"s E-Z Unroller. But now he's shipping the device to as far away as Australia. The E-Z Unroller will convert round bales of any type straw or hay into convenient square bales. Growers who have many acres of wheat and hay can use large round balers to save time at harvest, and then later, when more time is available, they can use the E-Z Unroller to convert the round bales to square bales.
The system is hydraulically driven, is operated by a tractor of optional power unit, and requires three people to operate. It takes about 6 min. to unroll a 4- x 6-ft. bale. The unroller is reversible and can be raised and lowered as needed. Price of the E-Z Unroller starts at $24,500. Larger models will handle up to 500,000 bales/year.
Simpson also developed the "T"s E-Z Big Separator that separates big square bales and rebales them into smaller rectangular bales. The separator may be powered by a tractor or optional power unit. It retails for $21,000.
