LinkedIn Influencer, Adam Grant, published this post originally on LinkedIn.
Being a leader is a complex task, but the defining moments of great leadership can be surprisingly simple. As a father of three kids under six, I've noticed some striking parallels between the morals of bedtime stories and the legacies of illustrious leaders.
If I were building a leadership library, I would stock it with these nine children's books. Each captures a key decision of a favorite leader, and matches up with research evidence:
Lesson: mistakes open the door to creativity and innovation.
Archetype: chemist Spencer Silver. While trying to strengthen an adhesive, he accidentally invented a glue that wasn't permanent. A decade, it became the Post-It Note.
Evidence: when leaders make it safe to take risks, firms innovate more and achieve higher returns.
Lesson: great leaders put others' interests first.
Archetype: Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith, who were running a division of a film company. When a new president called for layoffs, he asked Catmull and Smith to submit a list of names. They came back with a total of two names: their own. The president backed off, and a few months later Catmull and Smith started a little company called Pixar with Steve Jobs.
Evidence: when technology CEOs are rated by their top management teams as caring about other people, their firms have higher performance.
Lesson: Tough love goes a long way.
Archetype: Jeff Bezos. When he spots a typo in an Amazon memo, he sends it back to the author, stating that he found typos—but not revealing where. The author ends up finding some additional errors, and learns to be more careful in the future.
Evidence: leaders who challenge their employees and hold them to high standards guide their organizations to better performance.
4. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day
Lesson: we all have bad days. Get over it.
Archetype: Sallie Krawcheck. As the most powerful woman on Wall Street, she was fired from Smith Barney. She kept her head up, sought feedback on how she could have improved, and became the head of Merrill Lynch, Bank of America's wealth management business.
Evidence: leaders who actively seek negative feedback learn more and perform better.
5. The Lorax
Lesson: in the long run, organizations can't survive if they don't take care of their environments.
Archetype: Jochen Zeitz. Recognizing that what gets measured gets noticed, the PUMA executive chairman championed an environmental profit & loss statement, documenting parent company PPR's negative environmental impact of £124m in 2010.
Evidence: green management can increase profits by improving market access, better differentiating products, enabling companies to develop and sell new technology, strengthening stakeholder relations, and reducing costs of materials, services, capital, and labor.
Lesson: successful leaders create shared identities.
Archetype: Alan Mulally. Ford was struggling until Mulally brought a vision for "One Ford" that aligned leaders and employees worldwide toward a common goal.
Evidence: when leaders articulate a shared vision, companies grow faster.
Lesson: even seasoned leaders get anxious; it signals that they care and fuels them to prepare.
Archetype: Andy Grove. The Intel CEO chalks his success up to worrying constantly about people, products, and competitors.
Evidence: when presidents aren't too positive about the future in their inauguration addresses,the economy does better.
8. The Little Engine That Could
Lesson: leaders instill confidence in trying times.
Archetype: Martin Luther King, Jr. "We cannot turn back," he boomed, galvanizing the civil rights movement with his dream that "my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Evidence: in crisis situations, effective leaders are the ones who build hope.
Lesson: No one is perfect; we're all human.
Archetype: Thomas Watson Jr. According to legend, a vice president failed on a project that cost IBM about $10 million, and brought his resignation letter to Watson. Instead of firing him, Watson told him he couldn't leave, because the company just paid $10 million for his education.
Evidence: everyone poops. Enough said.
(Oh, and studies suggest that when leaders frame failures as learning opportunities, patients are less likely to die in hospitals.)
This post was inspired by Nick Green, who wrote a wonderful piece about 10 business books that could be based on classic children's books.

Autonomy, broadly speaking, involves robots that have transitioned out of labs and into daily lives — whether in hospitals, on farms, in homes, or on factory floors. These robots must sense their environments, reason about appropriate actions, and take action in a safe and effective manner. IRIM has significant expertise in this area, with hopping, walking, slithering, driving, flying, and swimming robots being part of the robotic menagerie on campus. Perception, machine learning, path planning, and motion control are all supporting disciplines to Georgia Tech's research in autonomy.

An engineer just left our project and now I am working on his project. In his dot H files there are several routines where he writes the executable code in the declaration rather than the dot C or dot CPP file. For a method with maybe one line of code I don't see a real problem with that. However he has multiple methods written like this, one of which is over 150 lines of code. (Not a comment in sight but that is a different topic.)
Is there a possible advantage in writing the code in the dot H file rather than the dot CPP file?
Seems to me its better to put all the code in one place.

Susan Louise O'Connor and More Join Cast of Abingdon's BODEGA BAY, Now thru 2/17
Abingdon Theatre Company - which has produced more than 78 new American plays in its 20-year history - continues its 2012-2013 Season with the world premiere of BODEGA BAY by Elisabeth Karlin (THE MOONCALF), set to begin previews tonight, January 25, prior to its official press opening February 3, at the Abingdon Theatre Company's Dorothy Strelsin Theatre (312 West 36th Street). Sturgis Warner, who recently helmed Najla Said's PALESTINE, directs. Performances run through February 17.
In BODEGA BAY, nobody notices or remembers Louise Finch (Susan Louise O'Connor). With her life in shambles, this shy and awkward soul who has never ventured beyond Staten Island, sets out into the dangerous unknown to find the mother who left her and her troubled brother years earlier. It is a strange and zany odyssey that hurls Louise across a country populated by the peculiar and turns this insignificant spectator into an active participant in a chaotic world.
The ensemble of BODEGA BAY includes Susan Louise O'Connor (BLITHE SPIRIT, NEVER SWIM ALONE) as Louise, with Peter Brouwer (LOST ON THE Natchez Trace), Brian McManamon, Gerardo Rodriguez, Nancy Rodriguez, and OBIE Award-winner Rae C Wright (Taylor Mac's THE LILY'S REVENGE, THE BREAKS with Deb Margolin).
BODEGA BAY features set design by Andrew Lu; lighting design by Matthew McCarthy; costume design by Isabel Rubio; and sound design by David Margolin Lawson. Craig Rosenthal is Production Stage Manager; NJ Agwuna is Assistant Stage Manager.
Elisabeth Karlin returns to the Abingdon Theatre Company where her play THE MOONCALF was produced, and then represented in The Best Stage Scenes of 2001 (Smith and Kraus). She is a two-time winner of the Jerry Kaufman Award in Playwriting, honored in 2012 for BODEGA BAY, and previously for WILD MEN OF THE WOODS, a play also selected for The Lark's Playwrights Week. LUCY'S LAST DATE was produced at The Third Street Theatre in Los Angeles. Ms. Karlin also writes about the cinema for film journals and is currently a popular contributor to the blog "Alfred Hitchcock Geek," known among film scholars and movie buffs as "The best Hitchcock blog on the internet." An inlet of the Pacific Ocean on the coast of northern California, Bodega Bay was the setting for the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film "The Birds." In homage to the location, Ms. Karlin's script features nearly 200 Hitchcock references.
Sturgis Warner is a freelance director as well as Artistic Director of Twilight Theatre Company. A long time actor, he works with many playwrights developing new work. For Abingdon, Karlin's THE MOONCALF, as well as SWIMMING WITH STURGEON by Ezra Goldstein. For Twilight, Najla Said's PALESTINE, Ted LoRusso's FIRST DAY. Other directing: The Kitchen (Ithaca,), Adirondack Theatre Festival, Barrington Stage, Actors Theatre of Louisville, New Jersey Rep, Mile Square Theatre, and Encore Theatre (San Francisco), among others. He is a member of New York Theatre Workshop's "Usual Suspects"; is on the Artistic Cabinet of The Lark Play Development Center; and is active with INTAR. He is also currently working on his solo play, FISHING FOR ALASKA.
Abingdon Theatre Company's upcoming 20th season also includes Robert Brustein's THE LAST WILL, directed by Austin Pendleton (April 5-May 5, 2013); and Michael Bonnabel's THE GOOD BOY, directed by Darin Anthony (April 26-May 19, 2013). Dorothy Streslin productions are Equity Approved Showcases.
BODEGA BAY runs tonight, January 25-February 17: Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 2pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 2pm (with the following exception: Sunday, February 3 at 5pm) at Abingdon Theatre Company (312 West 36th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues). Tickets are $25. For tickets, call 212-868-2055 or visit www.abingdontheatre.org.
Peter Brouwer has worked with Abingdon Theatre Company since its beginning, as an actor, production manager, set builder, and benefit auctioneer. He has performed in Hail to the Chef, Jan Buttram's Lost on the Natchez Trace and Glory Girls, Barton Bishop's God's Daughter, and John Epperson's My Deah.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With members of Congress convinced their political survival depends on their image, the House is wasting no time in considering a Senate-passed bill that would ban insider trading by lawmakers and thousands of executive branch officials. Stock trades would have to be posted online within 30 days.
The Senate showed a rare display of bipartisanship Thursday to pass the bill 96-3, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said it would be before the House next week. President Barack Obama repeated a pledge to sign it immediately.
"With approval ratings of Congress at an all-time low, this bill represents an opportunity to build some trust with the American people," said Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., a chief sponsor of the bill. "The truth is, members of Congress have access to all kinds of sensitive information, and it has to be clear that the information is being used to serve our country, not to make a personal profit."
Congress' approval ratings have been in the teens lately.
Cantor said, "Insider trading at any level of the federal government is unacceptable. We will quickly review the entire bill and the amendments that were added ... to ensure that public servants, whether in the legislative or executive branch, do not personally profit from insider information.
"It is critical that the bill we send to the president guarantees that the same rules apply to those in the federal government as they do to everyone else."
Obama praised the Senate.
"No one should be able to trade stocks based on nonpublic information gleaned on Capitol Hill," the president said. "So I'm pleased the Senate took bipartisan action to pass the STOCK Act. I urge the House of Representatives to pass this bill, and I will sign it right away."
Obama said still more ethics restrictions were needed, "like prohibiting elected officials from owning stocks in industries they impact."
Several amendments were added to the bill before final passage.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., won an amendment to include the 28,000 government workers in the executive branch in the bill, saying it would create a level playing field with the requirements for Congress. But the same amendment included conflicting language by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., that would apply to only 2,000 top policymakers — including the president, vice president and members of the Federal Reserve Board. Lieberman disputed Shelby's numbers, saying 300,000 executive branch workers could be affected.
A House-Senate conference will have to reconcile the two versions.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, successfully added language that would require "political intelligence" operatives to register and disclose affiliations, the same as lobbyists. These individuals are hired by stock traders to obtain useful information from members of Congress and their staffs.
Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate's ethics committee, and senior committee Republican Johnny Isakson of Georgia won an amendment that would force disclosure of all residential mortgages — by members of Congress, the president, the vice president and most Senate-confirmed appointees. Currently senators are not required to list all mortgages.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said laws prohibiting trading on inside, non-public information clearly cover members of Congress. In 2005, the SEC investigated then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee concerning his divestiture of stock in the family's hospital company days before its price fell on an analyst's forecast. Frist was not charged with wrongdoing.
To a large extent, Congress is reacting to a segment on CBS' "60 Minutes" that raised questions about stock trades by House Speaker John Boehner, the husband of House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., chairman of the Financial Services Committee. All have denied wrongdoing and denounced the network's story.
Republicans insisted on including top government officials outside the Congress in the bill even though they also are covered by insider trading regulations and face tougher conflict-of-interest restrictions than members of Congress. In some cases, executive branch officials are required to divest themselves of stock holdings that pose a conflict. Lawmakers don't have to do that and the Senate bill would not require it.
In addition to the 30-day online reporting requirement, the Senate would have to join the House in posting members' annual financial disclosure statements online instead of making only paper copies available on request.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., proposed wiping out the entire bill and substituting a simple certification by senators each year that they did not participate in insider trading. It was defeated, with 37 senators voting "yes" and 61 opposed.
House ready to consider insider trading ban
WASHINGTON (AP) — With members of Congress convinced their political survival depends on their image, the House is wasting no time in considering a Senate-passed bill that would ban insider trading by lawmakers and thousands of executive branch officials. Stock trades would have to be posted online within 30 days.

This is way off topic, but reading the news today made me once again look at a potential investment into Hasbro (HAS).
Mattel (MAT) today announced their THIRD recall on toys made in China. After the second recall I did some initial digging and found that Hasbro is in direct charge of quality control and inspection. They have not been impacted by the recall.
Being a parent, I pay attention to toys and recalls simply because it is something parents do. Seeing a third recall has made me decide to jump into Hasbro. Mattel has emptied shelves due to the recalls a few times now, and that has to be good for Hasbro (at least one would think this is the case).
The chart clearly shows Mattels dip, and for some reason Hasbro got caught up in it as well. In my opinion, Hasbro got taken down by someone else's bad news.
In disclosure, I am planning on getting into Hasbro tomorrow. Hopefully it pans out. Anyone else have some input?

Hawthorn Crataegus monogyna
Hawthorn thrives world wide and its delicate flowers and vivid berries mark the changing of the seasons.
A familiar site in hedgerows all over the UK, the trees have been regarded as sacred since the time of the druids.
The berries are used on Mayday celebrations in England to decorate the Maypole casting their power of protection over those attending the festivities.
The hawthorn was also a symbol of fertility; if a girl wished to be married she should pick some hawthorn and walk home in silence.
As well as these folklore tales, Nicholas Culpeper suggested its use as a cordial tonic.
The hawthorns used in our blends are wild collected in Bulgaria but we have not yet been responsible for any marriages as far as we are aware.

Various militaries have lead much of the notable research conducted worldwide in the past century, not because they've had a change of heart and would prefer to save lives instead of taking them you see- but because they seem to be intent on turning as many things as they can into a weapon of some kind. Though it cannot be denied that since the advent of the atomic bomb in the 1940's, the technology associated with weaponry has become more and more impressive- it's the next gen we should be worried about.
10. Biodesign Synthetic Organism
A pretty bizarre project currently in development by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is the creation of Biodesign Synthetic Organisms. Having put around $6million into the project thus far, the Department of Defense seem rather intent on getting this invention tuned and ready for use sooner rather than later. In essence, these 'organisms' will be able to live indefinitely and contain molecules that are actually capable of resisting death itself. On the other hand however, they could also be deactivated with the switch of a button. Intended for the modification of soldiers (I presume…) there is no set debut date for this technology as of yet.
Another of DARPA's wonderful creations currently under development, MAHEM or 'mayhem without the Y', is an acronym for the less catchy 'Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition'. This weapon will possess the power to penetrate enemy armor, as in tanks and troop transporters, via the utilization of molten metal. Though it sounds like some kind of Michael Bay special effect, representatives of DARPA proclaim the eventual weapon, in its warhead format, will possess greater control and efficiency than its predecessors.
8. Free Electron Laser
Currently under development by the safe hands of the US Navy, this highly sophisticated laser system will be used to intercept attacks from any pesky missiles and rockets which may be headed towards ships with the intention of sending them to the bottom of the ocean. Doubling as a tracker/sensor/information exchanger when there are no attacks inbound, prototypes of the laser emerged last year- meaning its well on its way to becoming a fully-fledged member of the modern warships arsenal.
Another laser system, however this time under Pentagon backed production by good old DARPA in place of the Navy, the HELLADS or 'High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System' encompasses the concept of fitting a tiny yet unfathomably powerful laser to aircraft in order to intercept and destroy incoming enemy fire. Yadda yadda….
6. Railgun
Though no new concept, a new breed of railgun has been in development for the past decade or so. Capable of launching projectiles (presumably those of the highly destructive nature) at an astonishing rate of 2.4 kilometres PER SECOND (seven times the speed of sound), the US military say we can expect a finished version of the weapon within the next ten to fifteen years. I can hardly wait…

"I'll do whatever needs to happen and I made that known to (pitching coach Don Cooper) and (manager) Ozzie (Guillen)," Peavy said. "I'll do whatever they think I can do to help the club in any way. I think they know that."
"I just think we got five guys going pretty good right now," Peavy said. "We've taken some heat about the six-man rotation. Are we doing the right thing or wrong thing? I'm just letting them know my end of the deal. I'll do whatever I can do to help.
"Do I think I can pitch out of the bullpen? Absolutely. I think I can help. But I'm certainly not opposed to me being in the six-man rotation, either. We'll see what happens."
"If this team gets in the playoffs, this team can certainly win a championship," Peavy said. "That's all you can ask. The common goal when we're on the flights and sitting around, talking with the guys is to grind it out and just try to get in. Do all we can do to get in and give this team a chance because we do feel we have a great chance to win a championship if we do get in."
and from the link below,
"I love our pitching and I think we've been about as steady as we can be," Peavy said. "Our offense, with [Adam] Dunn getting going and [Alex] Rios starting to show signs, I think we've got enough. We certainly have enough talent to win the [American League] Central, but we certainly got our work cut out for us with Detroit, as good as they are, Cleveland and this team [the Twins] and Kansas City. We've got a tough division."
"We did talk to Kenny about it," Guillen said. "Kenny wasn't too sure about that. We appreciate but I think it's too early to concern ourselves about bullpen stuff [with Peavy]. We appreciate that because he wants to help. But right now I think everything was just worry about we put it up to Kenny and he say get him healthy and get him back here. Then we make the decision when he comes [back]."
Other White Sox links: J.J. looks at the implications of a Dayan Viciedo-Juan Pierre swap and has a Sox-Twins Q&A with Aaron Gleeman, James looks at Paul Konerko' HOF chances and is surprised at the directness of Scott Merkin's 'Kenny wants Viciedo' article, (I was surprised too with Kenny saying out loud I want Viciedo but Ozzie wants Pierre), and Mike wonders if the Sox will re-acquire Aaron Poreda.

How to Make Homemade Chocolate Pudding Snack Packs
Get the Recipe
I was a deprived child. My parents were always putting weird stuff in our lunch boxes: cheese sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, plastic Ziploc bags full of pretzel twists. Store-brand cookies, for God's sake! Where were our Lunchables? Or individual cartons of chocolate milk? And the crinkly foil bags of neon-orange cheese puffs? I spent a lot of time in elementary school trying to cajole friends into swapping with me. Unfortunately few nine-year-olds actually like Vegemite sandwiches, go figure.
In hindsight, of course, I'm grateful to my parents for packing healthy, less processed foods. But, to this day, I have a sick fascination with junk food—convenience desserts in particular. Enter the Snack Pack.
There are few things in this world more comforting to me than squishy, sweet, creamy desserts, especially when they come in a ready-to-eat cup. But pudding is really easy to make at home, too.
So when I got hit with a serious pudding jones recently, I spent a few days vacillating over which recipe to use. Did I want a non-egg recipe? Chocolate or vanilla? Or maybe butterscotch?
Eventually I decided to hybridize a Martha Stewart recipe using both dark and milk chocolate puddings—which then, of course, gets layered into cute little containers. The container cuteness is optional; and of course you can gussy this up with any kind of extract, liqueur, or spice. But I highly recommend trying it straight-up at least once.
I call it Le Snaque-Paque. If you bring a little glass jar of this magical stuff into work, everyone will be begging you to trade. Promise.

|Cleric killed in 'sectarian' attack
|[Dawn] A prayer leader was rubbed out in a targeted attack apparently on sectarian grounds near Hill Park on Sunday, police said.
Maulana Rafiqul Khalil, 35, was heading to the Alamgir Masjid in Bahdurabad from his Korangi seminary in his car when assailants riding a cycle of violence sprayed his vehicles with bullets near Hill Park on Shaheed-e-Millat Road and escaped.
"His driver noticed that two men on a cycle of violence were following them and he tried to speed away. However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
the assailants started firing near Hill Park and the Maulana suffered a single shot in the neck," DIG-East Aleem Jafri said. "The driver didn't stop and drove the car straight to the Alamgir Masjid from where the victim was rushed to the Liaquat National Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
The police said Maulana Khalil was the prayer leader of the Alamgir Masjid and was coming from his seminary located in Korangi.
A senior police officer associated with the investigation of the case said Maulana Khalil was formally associated with a banned religious outfit.
Considering his background, the police were of the opinion that the attack on Maulana Khalil had a sectarian motive and was related to the ongoing spate of sectarian strife taking place in the city.
In 2001, Anwar Naseem Chandna, the chief of one of the country's major social welfare organizations, Alamgir Welfare Trust, was rubbed out in a similar manner near Alamgir mosque in Bahadurabad.
Young man rubbed out
A young man was rubbed out in Baldia Town on Sunday.
Police said that the incident took place in Ghazi Goth near Bismillah Chowk within the remit of the Baldia Town cop shoppe, where unknown assailants riding a motorbike targeted Sher Khan, 35, who was also riding a cycle of violence.
They said the victim suffered two bullet wounds in the chest and head and was struck down in his prime.
The police shifted the body to the Civil Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
The Sherlocks suspected some personal enmity as a likely motive for the killing.

How America closed the "Open Door"
I recently bought an old civics textbook (Community Life and Civic Problems, written by Howard Copeland Hill, and published in 1922 by Ginn and Company). I have enjoyed its several chapters about immigration; it was obviously a hot issue, and it remains so, today, as much as ever.
As I read the text, I saw that some of my and my husband's ancestors fit very neatly into the general immigration patterns from colonial days to 1920. Perhaps you'll see where your ancestors fit, too.
According to the textbook, the vast majority of immigrants to America before 1820 came from England. Certainly some immigrants did come from other countries, and plenty of slaves were brought in from Africa, but even if all of these people were added together, they were still a minority in comparison to the English.
Immigration slowed down during the Civil War, but afterward, the flood of foreigners resumed. Now, the immigrants were largely German, Irish, and Scandinavian. Many of them were poor, but most were not refugees. They immigrated because they were interested in the free land of the West and the freedom and opportunity of America.
Many Chinese also came to America during the gold rush of the 1840s and the periods of intensive railroad construction before and after the Civil War. This was the era in which the Transcontinental Railroad was built.
Unemployment soared when railroad and mine work dwindled. Resentment simmered against the hard-working, frugal "China-man", who in many cases seemed to be prospering. Lynchings and riots occurred on the West Coast. To ease tension and stem the inflow of Chinese workers, an immigration treaty with China was renegotiated. In 1882, immigration from China was formally suspended for a decade.
The ban on Chinese immigrants followed an 1876 ban on criminal immigrants. For the first time, America's "Open Door" was closed to some people.
After 1885, America saw a sharp increase in "new immigrants." These people came from southern and eastern Europe and from Asia, whereas the "old immigrants" had been mostly from northwestern Europe. Many of the new immigrants, illiterate and unskilled but eager to work, settled in ethnic communities within cities where they found employment in factories. For the first time, some immigrants had no interest in acquiring American citizenship. They wanted to work, save money, and return to their homelands.
In the late 19th century, many Japanese immigrated to work in West Coast farms and factories. They faced the same hostilities that Chinese workers endured. America viewed these workers as a problem and pursuaded Japan to prohibit immigration to the United States. Some western states passed laws prohibiting Japanese residents from owning land.
By 1910, laws had been passed to exclude convicts, lunatics, idiots, paupers, diseased people, anarchists, laborers under contract, and all those who were likely to become dependents of the state.
In 1917, a law was passed that excluded any "aliens over sixteen years of age, physically capable of reading, who cannot read the English language, or some other language or dialect." In other words, illiterate immigrants were no longer welcome in America. The bill did provide exemptions for some illiterate people if they could prove they were religious or political refugees, or if they already had relatives in the United States.
I scanned the photos of immigrants that accompany this brief history from the 1922 book I mentioned above. (Community Life and Civic Problems, written by Howard Copeland Hill, and published in 1922 by Ginn and Company). In my personal timeline, these photos were taken just a few years before my mom and dad were born in 1923.

Baby sitter found passed out in car with child
Attorney: Woman taking medications for known medical condition
A baby sitter was in court Friday to answer to charges of child endangerment and driving under the influence after she was found passed out in a car with a child inside, according to court documents.
Angela Rascoe went to a Newton school on Thursday to pick up her friend's 4-year-old child. At some point, she felt dizzy, pulled over on Walnut Street and put her head down on the steering wheel.
Rascoe said the next thing she knew, the police were knocking on the window, according to her attorney.
Rascoe's attorney said she was using prescription drugs for a medical condition and did the right by not trying to drive.
The child, who was in the backseat of the car, was not hurt.
Rascoe, who has three children of her own, was released on $1,000 bail.

Burgers here contain no meat. In fact there wasn't any cheese as well! Vegan mah.
From left to right, we tried the Hawaiian Pineapple set ($10.85), Cracked Pepper Mayo Set ($9.85) and Smoky BBQ Set ($10.85).
Served in a mess tin, it was slightly reminiscent of Barracks
Back to burgers!
Since they do not use meat, soy and minced mushroom patties were used instead. Was it as good as meat? Honestly, no. But then again it is not meat so it should not be compared directly.
The Hawaiian Pineapple burger offered a pan-grilled pineapple slice and a soya patty glazed with plum sauce. Not too bad though the "mock meat taste" of the patty was a tad strong. I like the organic ciabatta as burger buns- crusty and fluffy.
The Cracked Pepper Mayo burger appealed more with its initial peppery punch, soothed by creamy mayo beneath a bed of lettuce. The organic ciabatta for this burger contained sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and walnuts. Lots of good oils!
Smoky BBQ burger featured an oven-baked minced, mushroom patty that was savoury and slathered with BBQ sauce. Tomato slices, lettuce and alfalfa gave it crunch and a pleasant vegetal sweetness. The bun for this burger was an organic rye with wholemeal grains.
Overall, the burgers were pleasant as long as one doesn't expect them to be like a cheeseburger. Fries had a nice sprinkling of seaweed but I feel they could be more crispy.
The set meal came with a choice of juice (apparently no preservatives and added sugar). Since we had 3 set meals, we picked 3 different juices to try. Then we realised the colours looked like a traffic light! Moohaha.
Green- Spinach Wheatgrass: Surprisingly no grassy taste or texture, pleasant apple flavour.
Yellow- Orange Passionfruit: Tangy and sweet!
Red- Apple Blackcurrant: Sweet and fruity.
We also ordered the Potato Spinach Pops ($3.80) to try. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. Maybe they should look to a good bergerdil for inspiration.
For dessert, the Guilt Free Chocolate Ice Cream ($3.80) was interesting. The chocolate flavour came through with a subtle background of nuttyness from brown rice. A rather light and refreshing ice cream. I assume they used soya milk instead of cow's milk too.
Yes, this is fast food with a healthier twist. Going meatless one meal a day (some say breakfast cos they skip that meal!) or once a week, be it for health, religious or environmental reasons, is not that difficult. And Veganburg offers a good starting point.
All their products are plant based and made entirely free from dairy. Their patties do not contain gluten, genetically modified organism product, preservatives and transfat.
Then we headed for a pint of Tiger beer....which is a great way to end a work week and coincidentally it's meatless too . ;)

Okay, so maybe real relief, and the ability to feel the possibility of change and happiness won't truly arrive until Barack Obama has been declared the winner of that glorious process we have in America called voting, this Tuesday, November 4th. But darn if it didn't feel great to experience the teenie-tiniest bit of a smile creeping onto my face while watching Barack's thirty-minute ad which aired in prime time at 8PM this evening (full video posted below). I knew this election and all the hate, fear tactics, and outright lies that have been drudged up and thrown about were really starting to get to me, but I honestly didn't realize just how much until I felt the tingling of a strange sensation occur during the mega-ad and realized it was one I had not really experienced for far too long: the feeling of hope.
Hope. Hope that things can change. Hope that maybe this cloud of increasing stress and strain might be lifted from over most Americans. Hope that someone (a politician, no less! ;)) was really looking out for us. Hope that Americans would not fall prey to the same old Republican, Rovian tactics, and that they would see right through them and right into what Barack Obama is offering us. Hope that someone IS on our side, that someone IS going to move us in the right direction, and hope that THIS TIME (unlike the last two presidential elections)my fellow Americans will put that incredible gift of the democratic process to good use and place their vote for someone who WILL do right by us: Barack Obama.
I'm far from naive about the always-simmering racial tensions that sadly exist in our country, but to see the pot stirred so intensively by the McCain/Palin campaign (and ultimately by some of their wingnut followers) in a constant and unbelievably overt fashion as well as via hidden/code meanings and words, with no concern or acknowledgment on their part of the immediate and long-term ramifications such hate brings about, has just saddened and dismayed me beyond belief and quite often had me embarrassed as a white person. "Country first", McCain? Really? Hardly, I'd say. Certainly not MY country that you're "putting first", and that's too bad because contrary to the desires of many of your believers, this country is filled with people from ALL political, religious, economic, and ethnic perspectives out there, and bringing them TOGETHER is what MY country and MY beliefs are about, not dividing the country and instilling unease of anyone who might not look just like you, practice the same religion you do, or believe the same political agenda you do.
Come on, America, now is the time for you to not become complacent and assume "others" will do the job for you. You MUST get your fannies out to the voting booth on Tuesday (click here to find your polling place), or better yet VOTE EARLY if it's available in your area. Let's elect a president and vice-president that will help us return to a government and a country we can ALL be proud of.

The concert is set for Saturday, Jan. 12 at the House of Blues, with a bill that features many of San Diego's best-known artists. In addition to Slightly Stoopid, on hand will be hard rockers P.O.D., ska heroes Buck O Nine, hip-hop combo Vokab Company and a special appearance by the reunited Rugburns, featuring ace raconteur Steve Poltz. Tickets for this concert are only available by winning them from the station. The band will be touring the West Coast through Jan. 27, with a headlining show scheduled April 20 at Colorado's legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
• The Lazy Hummingbird coffee shop and community center has started offering music once again by way of a twice-monthly, open-mic night. The event takes place on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. This open-mic night is a little more varied then most, with the usual singer-songwriters, but organizers are also open to magic, dance, poetry and storytelling. Signups are at 6:30 p.m. on event night.
• Bassist Billy Fritz (the Coyote Problem, Peter Hall) has recorded a track for an upcoming Elvis Costello tribute album, "Beyond Belief." He'll be performing on a version of Costello's 1986 track "Blue Chair," alongside such artists as former Romeo Void singer Deborah Iyall and Nelson Bragg of Brian Wilson's band. Fritz will also participate in "Sounds Like San Diego" a special fundraiser for the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad on Feb. 1.

• Musician and promoter Jefferson Jay has posted an electronica spoken-word collage to his Sound Cloud page called "I Love Ocean Beach." Among his many other endeavors, he continues to host a Wednesday night open-mic session at Winston's Beach Club from 6 to 9 p.m. www.soundcloud.com/jeffersonjay/i-love-ocean-beach-1.

Turok -- the latest project from Touchstone and Propaganda Games -- has two: dinosaurs and cool kills.
A re-imagining of the Nintendo 64 classic, Turok places you behind the bow and arrow of Joseph Turok and teams you with the ragtag members of Whiskey Company. Seems Turok used to be a member of a ruthless group of mercenaries known as Wolfpack but bailed when the whole baby-killing thing didn't mesh with his conscience. Now an adopted member of Whiskey Co., Turok and the boys are on the trail of his old mentor -- Roland Kane. The leader of Wolfpack has holed himself up on a remote planet, and as our boys approach, they're shot down. Whiskey Company begins to explore the planet, and the mission quickly switches from capturing Kane to making it past the dinosaurs, armed guards as well as mutated scorpions and getting home.
For the most part, Turok plays like every other first-person shooter out there. You switch weapons with the d-pad, jump, crouch and blast your way through jungle environments, Wolfpack outposts and more. But what makes Turok stand out from the pack of games 2007 saw is how you can kill -- such as sneaking up behind a guard, dropping him with a kick to the knee and burying your knife in the top of his head.
Now, don't get me wrong; COD4 and BioShock were great times, but as a gamer I always found myself trying to balance my ballistics with reality. In COD, I was trying to save my grenades for those seemingly impossible hallways filled with terrorists, and in BioShock, I was hesitant to waste my Adam in fear that I'd need a powered-up plasmid for a Big Daddy or boss. For most of those games, I felt like I needed to play defensively.
That doesn't happen here. Turok takes your reins off.
No, the ammo isn't unlimited, but you are fully encouraged to use whatever weapon you want however you want. There'd be times when I'd enter a new section of jungle and find a makeshift guard base with stacks of weapons all over the place. I'd arm the chaingun, run out and blast some dinosaurs, get tired of the gun and backtrack to find something more to my liking. Once I settled on an instrument of destruction -- such as my favorite, the sticky bomb gun -- I could truck back out confident that there was more ammo behind me and plenty of spots to switch to something different ahead.
Secondary fire is a big part of gunplay in Turok. The sticky bomb gun is my favorite because of its standard fire mode -- pull the trigger to launch a bomb that sticks to whatever it touches and pull the trigger again to detonate the device -- but the secondary option of a mini minefield is a brilliant touch -- the same can be said for the shotgun's flare launcher and the SMG's silencer.
Towards the end of the game, I was making a solo attack on one of Kane's bases, and the weapon gods were good to me once again. Able to infiltrate the front door undetected, I drew back on my bow and iced two guards before they knew Turok was on the scene. If you haven't caught our videos of this game, the bow is a sick silent killer. You draw back the arrow and then line up your shot with the crosshairs. The longer you hold the trigger down, the harder Turok's pulling on the string. If you let it go with enough force, the arrow will basically staple the bad guy to the nearest wall. Nice.
Anyway, with the two chumps down, I moved deeper into the fortress and came across a staircase to the next level and a soldier staking out the top. I switched to the sticky bomb gun, tagged the bad man's leg and blew him to kingdom come. This tipped off the whole establishment that Whiskey Co. was there, and I began mining the hell out of the staircase and surrounding area. Clueless troops would come down the stairs and go boom. When the sticky bomb gun was on empty, I grabbed a nearby chaingun and -- utilizing its secondary fire -- set it up on the ground as a turret. It obliterated anyone able to come down the stairs.

The New York Jets, after a slow start to the 1981 NFL season, had won five straight games and were 8-4-1 as they faced the Seattle Seahawks on December 6. Granted, Seattle was the last team to have beaten them, but the Jets seemed likely to keep up the momentum. Coached by Walt Michaels, whose job had seemed insecure earlier in the year, they had a productive offense directed by QB Richard Todd, although it was the defense that received most of the publicity – in particular, the line known as "The New York Sack Exchange" that consisted of ends Mark Gastineau and Joe Klecko and tackles Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam.
Seattle had gotten off to a disastrous 1-6 start before beating the Jets in New York. Head Coach Jack Patera's team had won twice more and was playing better but was at 4-9 coming into the rematch. In addition, Dave Krieg, a little-known second-year backup out of tiny Milton College, was filling in at quarterback for the injured Jim Zorn and making his first pro start. He was fortunate in having a dependable target in star WR Steve Largent (pictured above) and, thanks to a midseason trade, the presence of RB Theotis Brown in the backfield.
There were 53,105 fans in attendance at the Kingdome in Seattle. The Seahawks got an early break when the Jets, lined up to punt from their own territory after going three-and-out on the opening possession, had a bad snap get away from punter Chuck Ramsey. Getting the ball at the New York 11, Seattle scored in three plays as Krieg threw to WR Sam McCullum from seven yards out. The extra point attempt failed, however, but the home team was up by 6-0.
That was still the situation in the second quarter when the Jets, getting the ball in Seattle territory after Jeff West's pass from punt formation fell incomplete, scored a touchdown when Richard Todd passed to RB Scott Dierking from 11 yards out. The game remained tied at 6-6, though, when Pat Leahy slipped while attempting the extra point and his low kick was blocked.
The Seahawks responded by driving into New York territory as Krieg fired a 20-yard completion to Steve Largent and hit TE John Sawyer for 18. But LB Lance Mehl intercepted a Krieg pass at his own 26 to end the threat. The Jets responded in kind, however, as FS John Harris picked off a long throw by Todd at the Seattle 13 and returned it 14 yards. Two plays later, Krieg connected with Largent for a 48-yard gain to the New York 25, and two plays after that Theotis Brown took a pitchout and went 21 yards for a TD. This time the extra point try was successful and the Seahawks were back in front by 13-6.
The Jets used up the remaining 5:15 of the first half with a series that covered 67 yards in 14 plays. Todd completed four passes, including two that converted third downs, and Leahy booted a 26-yard field goal to narrow Seattle's lead to 13-9 at halftime.
New York had a big defensive play to start the third quarter as CB Jerry Holmes intercepted a Krieg pass at the Seattle 28 on the first play from scrimmage. Five plays later Dierking ran for a 15-yard touchdown and, with Leahy's successful conversion, a 16-13 lead for the Jets.
Following a short possession by the Seahawks, New York drove into Seattle territory but Leahy's 50-yard field goal attempt sailed wide. The home team responded by marching 68 yards down the field in 12 plays. Krieg (pictured at left) completed six straight passes, including a third-and-seven toss to Largent for 11 yards, and finished off the drive with a one-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown. Seattle was back in front by 20-16 heading into the final period.
In the fourth quarter, the Jets advanced once again into Seattle territory as Todd completed passes to WR Johnny "Lam" Jones for 30 yards and HB Bruce Harper for 18. The series ended when Todd threw an incompletion in a fourth-and-one situation, but New York regained the ball a play later after Theotis Brown fumbled and Joe Klecko recovered at the Seattle 35. Todd tossed a one-yard scoring pass to RB Kevin Long and New York was ahead by 23-20 with 9:21 left in the game.
It took the Seahawks just two plays from scrimmage to respond. They went 77 yards thanks to a pair of passes to Largent. Largent caught the go-ahead touchdown pass after getting behind safety Jesse Johnson at the 17 yard line and sprinted into the end zone for a 57-yard TD.
The Jets were unable to recover. Following a short series, they punted and the Seahawks put together a long drive that ran over five minutes off the clock. Krieg started it off with a 29-yard bootleg and, grinding along on the ground, Seattle reached the New York 25. While Wilson Alvarez's 43-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Mark Gastineau, there were less than two minutes on the clock as the Jets took over. They were unable to move the ball, with Todd completing just two of seven passes and the Seahawks held on for a 27-23 win.
The Jets had the edge in total yards (395 to 383) and first downs (23 to 18). In fact, the statistics across the board were as close as the score indicated. Seattle had more rushing yards (127 to 119) while the Jets had the advantage in passing yards (286 to 264). Each team recorded a sack and was penalized six times. The Seahawks turned the ball over four times to New York's three.
Dave Krieg had a solid performance in his initial start, completing 20 of 26 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns against three interceptions and rushing for 30 yards on five carries. Steve Largent was the receiving star, catching 7 passes for 169 yards and including the game-winning TD. Theotis Brown ran for 73 yards and a touchdown in 18 attempts.
For the Jets, Richard Todd went to the air 51 times and completed 27 of those throws for 286 yards and two touchdowns with two intercepted. Kevin Long was the top runner with 51 yards in 11 carries and Scott Dierking contributed four attempts for 33 yards and a TD and also caught 7 passes for 60 yards and another score. Bruce Harper had 8 pass receptions out of the backfield for 67 yards, both team-leading figures.
"David's play was outstanding," said a happy Coach Patera. "I can't say enough about his performance."
The loss knocked the Jets out of a first place tie with Miami in the AFC East and temporarily put their playoff chances in doubt, but they won their last two games to finish second in the division with a 10-5-1 record and secured a Wild Card berth in the postseason. They lost their first round game to the division-rival Buffalo Bills, who had come in third. Seattle split its final two contests to end up in the basement of the AFC West at 6-10.
Steve Largent was selected to the Pro Bowl for the third time in his Hall of Fame career as he caught 75 passes for 1224 yards (16.3 avg.) and nine touchdowns. The 169 receiving yards against the Jets were his career high at the time, but he would ultimately exceed that total on two occasions.
Dave Krieg, who had appeared in just one game as an undrafted rookie in 1980 and threw two incomplete passes, made the most of his opportunity in '81 and showed promise as he completed 64 of 122 throws (57.1 %) for 843 yards and 7 touchdowns with 5 interceptions. It would be two more years before he would take the starting job away from Jim Zorn for good, but he would play a total of 12 seasons in Seattle, through 1991, before moving on to the Chiefs and would be selected to the Pro Bowl after three of those seasons while the Seahawks made it to the playoffs four times.

Irene Noy, 'Why Only Look? Aural and Visual Representation of Female Identity in West Germany'
Of the many Research Forum talks I attended Spring semester, I found Irene Noy's 'Why Only Look? Aural and Visual Representation of Female Identity in West Germany' to be one of the most engaging and eye opening. As the title suggests, Noy encouraged those of us in the audience to not only look but also listen—that is, to audio work that seamlessly accompanied her visual presentation, as well as to the words of her talk.
I came to Noy's talk with a fairly thorough knowledge of the geographical region and time period, as well as an interest in gender studies, yet Noy's topic was still completely unfamiliar to me. It was a welcome reminder of just how vast and complex the discipline of art history is. While I found her talk compelling on an intellectual level, it also made me realize, on a more personal level, where I had become complacent with my own knowledge, and reminded me that there are further artists, perspectives, and even media to discover.
Noy's talk concerned female artists creating artwork at the crossroads of aural and visual art in West Germany, working at the time of the rise of second wave feminism. Particularly intriguing to me was Noy's presentation of sound art in relation to visual art: the possibility of shared compositional processes, as well as their differently gendered aspects—for example, the electronic implements used in recording and playing sound as being aggressively masculine. I had never before considered the possible dichotomy between aural and visual art (with one occupying space and one occupying time), though Noy presents this dichotomy as false.
I am grateful to Noy for introducing me to the work of Mary Bauermeister, which I found incredibly compelling and promptly investigated further after the talk. Bauermeister, an artist connected with Fluxus, is best known for her 'lens boxes' of layered glass that magnify and distort the textured surface below. They simultaneously seem delicate and dangerous, and draw the viewer's attention to the optical devices improving and modifying our perception of the visual, perhaps parallel to the electrical devices used to create and record sound. Noy emphasized the connection between Bauermeister's visual compositions and her understanding of musical composition; an important example being her joint show with Karlheinz Stockhausen, in which her visual works were paired with his sound compositions, allowing for a dialogue between the two.

Aaron Tshibola rescued a point for Aston Villa as Newcastle blew the chance to close in on Sky Bet Championship leaders Norwich.
The midfielder headed in an 87th minute equaliser for the hosts to secure a 1-1 draw after Tommy Elphick's first-half own goal looked to have won it for the Magpies.
Dwight Gayle and Mo Diame had chances to finish Villa off and the visitors paid the price late on, having been given let-offs when Mile Jedinak had a goal disallowed and Jordan Ayew hit the post.
The teams were relegated from the Premier League last season and both spent around £50million to try to win an instant return to the top flight.
But the draw left Newcastle four points behind Norwich, who they host on Tuesday, while Villa are only three points above the relegation zone despite a spirited comeback.
The fightback at least eased some of the growing pressure on boss Roberto Di Matteo after his summer spending was designed to arrest a slide which saw Villa win just three times last season.
The Italian was also forced to drop and fine Jack Grealish after a club investigation into his conduct following reports he partied at a Birmingham hotel last Saturday night following last week's 0-0 draw at Ipswich.
Albert Adomah made his full debut to replace Grealish but had minimal impact.
The Magpies had grown into the game with Villa failing to get a foothold and the visitors blew two fine chances to open the scoring after 25 minutes.
Comical Villa defending allowed Ritchie to nip in only for Pierluigi Gollini to save and then Diame fired the rebound over. But Villa's backline was breached in calamitous fashion four minutes later when Elphick turned into his own net.
Isaac Hayden found DeAndre Yedlin on the right and the United States international's low cross was intended for Gayle but, as the striker prepared to pounce, Elphick deflected it across and past Gollini from four yards.
Newcastle went for the kill and Paul Dummett's shot deflected wide before Nathan Baker was lucky not to concede a penalty after a clumsy challenge on Gayle. The former Crystal Palace striker had caused the hosts problems and he should have doubled Newcastle's lead nine minutes before the break after more awful defending.
Elphick's turn landed him in trouble and Gayle pinched the ball to race through only to shoot straight at Gollini with just the keeper to beat.
Di Matteo replaced Baker with Tshibola at half-time as Villa went looking for more substance in midfield having been out thought and out classed in the first half.
The otherwise impressive Diame should have made it 2-0 after 63 minutes but managed to side-foot wide from 12 yards after good work from Shelvey.
Newcastle were almost made to pay for their profligacy when Jedinak looped a 68th-minute header in but the midfielder was offside, but it did at least spark Villa into life and Ayew hit the post four minutes later.
The visitors, after their previous control, began to live dangerously but Villa became increasingly desperate and Elphick headed wide with five minutes left.
But, with Villa's momentum growing, Tshibola saved them two minutes later when he scored his first goal for the club during a barnstorming finish, nodding in Ayew's deep corner.
