Biden's top economist retires. See the list of candidates to replace him | CNN Business
The White House is considering several top federal government officials to replace economist Brian Deese, including Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Lael Brainard and Under Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Wednesday. .
The process to replace Deese as head of the powerful National Economic Council is ongoing and the situation is fluid, the person said. Brainard is seen as a top contender, though the process is still underway and President Joe Biden has not made a final decision, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Deese has become one of the faces of Biden's economic agenda, frequently appearing on television to explain the administration's views and policies. CNN previously reported that Deese planned to resign.
Deese has long planned to leave in the early months of this year and is playing a role in selecting his replacement. As head of Biden's economic council, he has been the driving force behind the administration's economic policy and legislative agenda for two years and has been one of the most powerful NEC directors in recent memory.
In addition to Brainard and Adeyemo, contenders to replace Deese include senior Biden adviser Gene Sperling, former Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and NEC deputy director Bharat Ramamurti, the person familiar with told CNN. The issue.
The Washington Post was the first to report on the top candidates to replace Deese.
The White House declined to comment.
Brainard was seen as a top contender to become Fed chair before Biden ultimately decided to rename Jerome Powell. Brainard, a former Treasury official in the Obama administration and Fed governor since 2014, was promoted to vice president, the second-largest official at the central bank.
If Brainard were to take over the NEC role, it would open up a critical position for Biden to fill at the Federal Reserve at a time when rapid central bank rate hikes have raised concerns among some Democrats that the aggressive stance to rein in inflation could have negative effects on the broader economy.
The Federal Reserve declined to comment.

The purpose of our team is to help our readers always stay aware of the latest news and trends in the world of lotteries. In particular, we are glad to offer a review of Idaho Weekly Grand, a lottery that we do believe is worth your attention. When preparing the review, we were trying to cover all the game-play aspects that might be important to an average player, especially as far as Idaho Weekly Grand results are concerned. Enjoy your reading!
Idaho Weekly Grand results are aired right after the drawings that take place in the headquarters of Idaho Lottery in Boise. At the moment, draws are held twice a week. To be more precise, they are held on Wednesday and Saturday, at 8:00 p.m. MT. The numbers are drawn using the Computer Random Number Generator. In case you were curious, the first ever draw was held on August 20, 2011, or 7 years, 8 months and 4 days ago.
The currently applied format is as follows: 5 / 32. As you can see, players are to choose five main Idaho Weekly Grand numbers from the range between 1 and 32 Idaho Weekly Grand numbers. As you can see, there are neither additional, nor bonus numbers.
The overall winning chances, in turn, are 1 in 6,12.
The minimum cost of playing is $2. The lottery does not offer any opportunities to multiply prizes. A good news is that there is a chance to win an extra prize if to take part in Second Chance Prize. The idea is that once each month, players can enter their non-winning Weekly Grand ticket numbers into the VIP Club site and take part in a second chance draw with the top prize being $5,200, or $100 a week for a year.
The lottery's most often drawn numbers are 02, 23, 15, 21, 25, and 28. The cold, or the least frequent numbers are 26, 11, 08, 19, 03, and 16.
As mentioned above, the top prize is $1,000 a week per year, while the amount of the top prize in the second chance draw is $100 per week per year. As for prizes of other categories, they may be claimed at any of almost 1,000 lottery retailers around the state. Besides, winning tickets can be sent by mail. A great thing is that ID Weekly Grand winnings are tax free. One more thing to take into account is that all the prizes are to be claimed within 180 days from the day of the draw or otherwise the winning ticket expires, regardless of Idaho Weekly Grand results.

Trait activation theory is based on a specific model of job performance, and can be considered an elaborated or extended view of personality-job fit. Specifically, it is how an individual expresses their traits when exposed to situational cues related to those traits. These situational cues may stem from organization, social, and/or task cues. These cues can activate personality traits that are related to job tasks and organizational expectations that the organization values (i.e., job performance). These cues may also elicit trait-related behaviors that are not directly related to job performance.

According to the trait-based model of job performance introduced in Tett and Burnett (2003; see Figure 1), trait activation theory suggests three overarching principles (p. 503):

 Traits are expressed in work behavior as responses to trait-relevant situational cues;
 Sources of trait-relevant cues can be grouped into three broad categories or levels: task, social, and organizational; and
 Trait expressive work behavior is distinct from job performance, the latter being defined in the simplest terms as valued work behavior.

Trait activation theory suggests that employees will look for and derive intrinsic satisfaction from a work environment that allows for the easy expression of their unique personality traits. However, the theory stipulates that only in situations where these personality traits are valued on the job (i.e., expression of traits is beneficial to quality job tasks), does "activating" the trait lead to better job performance and the potential for subsequent increased extrinsic rewards (e.g., pay and other benefits).  In a nutshell, a workplace environment or job demands that are conducive to the natural and frequent expression of their traits is attractive to people.

For example, the trait, extraversion, is associated with sociability and seeking out others' companionship. If this trait is activated by interaction with customers while a salesperson is performing work tasks related to sales, one might expect such trait activation to result in good job performance and potential subsequent financial bonuses. However, if extraversion is activated on the job by the presence of coworkers and one becomes overly sociable with coworkers, job performance may suffer if this sociability distracts from job tasks.  In this example, the organizational cues of whether a high sociability environment is expected between coworkers would influence the strength of the cue and the level of activation.  Note that it is not an assumption of trait activation theory that trait-irrelevant situations result in poor performance. Rather, the theory suggests that a lack of trait activation weakens the trait-performance relationship.

History and development
The principles of trait activation can be traced back as early as 1938, when Henry Murray described that situations elicit trait expression from individuals. Tett, Simonet, Walser, and Brown (2013) summarized the key contributions of others' ideas that preceded and influenced trait activation theory. These are twofold.

First, it is not a question of trait or situation, but that trait and situation work harmoniously together.
Trait activation theory relies heavily on both situational and trait based perspectives on personality. It holds that existing, latent traits are activated by pertinent situations. So, it accepts that both stable traits and situational variance can affect predictable patterns of behavior. This is an extension of Eysenck's work done 20 years before that sought to reconcile the two warring perspectives of trait theory and situationism. This can be summed up as the interactionist perspective, which seeks to solve the person-situation debate by explaining behavior with consideration to both situation and stable traits.

Second, situations act as triggers to certain traits that an individual possesses. A certain trait may not choose to manifest itself until a situation arises that necessitates it. This idea accepts the interactionist perspective, as discussed in the first point, and takes a step further in explaining a way in which traits and situation interact. It is as if traits act passively. They exist as stable qualities, but require the active stimulation of a relevant situation to spurn them into action and influence an individual's behavior.

However, three primary researchers, Robert P. Tett, Hal A. Guterman, and Dawn D. Burnett, are associated with introducing the theory through two focal papers. These papers synthesized and expanded the two ideas presented above creating what is known as trait activation theory.

Trait activation theory makes an argument for situational specificity; that is, whether a trait leads to better performance depends on the context; or, alternatively, whether the context is relevant for performance depends on the trait. Thus, proponents of the theory argue that trait-relevant situations result in better performance than situations that are trait-irrelevant. For example, in a workplace setting, an employee may be assigned to a role that largely contains situations not calculated to stimulate this employee's particular traits. They may, therefore, be seen as unsuccessful, when there is the possibility that they would do far better in another role that offers trait-relevant situations with greater regularity.

Testing the Theory
Since its introduction, several researchers have sought to test this idea. Tett and Guterman (2000) conducted one of the first large-scale tests via an investigation of the impact of situation trait relevance on the relationship between traits and behaviors. Specifically, they analyzed the relationships between participants' responses to a personality test assessing five personality traits (risk taking, complexity, empathy, sociability, and organization) and responses to a measure about behavioral intentions in multiple scenarios designed to target these same traits. Results of these tests support the notion that traits are expressed to the degree that the situation offers opportunities for their expression. In addition, the study found support for the idea that situations can be assessed for the degree to which they are relevant to certain traits (even those targeting the same trait).

Kamdar and Van Dyne (2007) also found support for the theory via a field research study in which they examined 230 employees, their coworkers, and their supervisors and found that high quality social exchange relationships at work weakened the positive relationship between personality (specifically, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and job performance. These results were interpreted to be consistent with trait activation theory because they suggested that high quality social exchange relationships signaled the existence of a norm of reciprocity that subsequently constrained the expression of personality. With respect to agreeableness, for example, the authors hypothesized that, relative to those high in agreeableness, less agreeable employees do not have natural inclinations for tolerance and empathy, and therefore "need other incentives to motivate helping such as the sense that relationship partners are trustworthy"(p. 1290).   Similar conclusions were drawn with respect to employees who scored relatively low on conscientiousness.

Most recently, Judge and Zapata (2015) developed and tested an interactionist framework of the personality to job performance relationship, focusing on both general (situation strength;) and specific (trait activation; Tett & Burnett, 2003) situational influences. In doing so, they integrated both perspectives and compared the predictive validity of both perspectives, concluding that trait activation theory may be relatively more important than situation strength theory in explaining when and how personality is more predictive of job performance (p. 1167). However, the authors are careful to note that the variance attributable to situational strength is not inconsequential. These authors also note that the study was limited due to its focus on job and task-based cues (to the explicit neglect of social cues) which could also impact the personality-job performance relationship.

Practical implications
When organizations understand how different organizational cues lead to expression of traits, this knowledge allows organizations the opportunity to create situations that "activate" the traits they most value, and to select employees based on those traits. However, to understand fully the traits needed for different occupational roles, including team contexts, management scholars recommend organizations conduct Personality-Oriented Work Analyses to improve selection and promotion processes.

Organizations can use trait activation theory to help them ensure a positive applicant experience. A 2015 study found that for applicants who were significantly strong in the desirable traits for the position they were being considered for, perceived personality fit with current employees played a large role in their perception of the organization. Using trait activation theory and the related similarity-attraction theory, organizations can design their recruitment processes in such a way that applicants connect to current employees with whom they are likely to identify. The study suggests that the more applicants can come in contact with successful and happy employees that they personally relate to, the more confident they are likely to be in their happiness in a similar environment.

Trait activation theory can also help an organization understand how to optimally motivate workers by offering them rewards suited to their individual traits (e.g., introverts will likely not be motivated by rewards involving public recognition such as "employee of the month" but extraverts will be). In the workplace discussion, trait activation theory is often discussed only in relation to task motivation and execution. However, this is an example of its uses beyond that focus. One 2017 study discussed how trait activation theory can help guide an organization's assessment of leadership potential among its employees. It suggests situations more likely to activate certain key traits associated with leadership ability.

Trait activation theory is used in many areas of psychological study and practice, especially in industrial/organizational psychology. One area that it has strongly affected is assessment centers. With conclusions drawn from trait activation theory, assessment centers can write more reliable assessments and interpret results with greater accuracy to suggest whether a tester is more or less likely to thrive in a certain area.

Role in explaining situational specificity
Although not an explicit test of the theory's principles per se, scholars have frequently drawn from trait activation theory to account for inconsistencies in the relationship between personality and work behavior such as performance. For example, personality traits like agreeableness may be key for performance in jobs that require helping others, but less predictive of performance in jobs that do not require the provision of help to others.  Likewise, the theory has been used to explain why relatively extraverted individuals seem to perform better in occupations (i.e., those of managers and sales) that involve high levels of social interaction.

Criticism
The theory does not appear to address how trait-relevant behavioral tendencies are converted into work behaviors. Some scholars have attempted to address this gap by suggesting higher-order goals, such as the motivation to experience meaningfulness at work, play a role in how trait relevant tendencies are translated into relevant work outcomes (see).

Other relevant concepts
Bidirectionality – a personality trait can positively predict job performance in one situation and negatively predict job performance in another situation. For example, conscientious individuals tend to be detail-oriented and cautious in their decision making; generally speaking, conscientiousness is associated with positive job performance behaviors. In contrast, research has shown that organizations selecting for job positions that requires an employee be adaptable to change might not benefit from selecting an individual high in conscientiousness.

Situational strength is also relevant from the trait activation perspective and refers to cues provided regarding desirability of behavior. So-called "strong" situations involve unambiguous demands (the classic example is a red traffic light), whereas "weak" situations are characterized by more ambiguous expectations for behavior. Situation strength is related to trait relevance insofar as trait relevance is essentially a characteristic of a situation that can lead to the expression of one trait rather than another. To expound upon this relationships, Tett and Burnett (2003) use the metaphor of a radio station and its corresponding volume in order to distinguish between trait relevance and situation strength, respectively. Specifically, they suggest that trait relevance is analogous to the radio station (i.e., channel) and situation strength to the volume at which the station is played. In other words, trait relevance determines if a situation offers the opportunity (based on task, social, and/or organizational cues) to express a certain trait, and the strength of the situation determines the likelihood that individuals will express the relevant trait or not.

For example, a strong situation might include an interdisciplinary work team where there is a common organizational expectation that all team members will help each other, as each member depends on other team member's expertise and experience.  In this situation, the agreeableness trait might be activated by the tasks and the organization cues, but even individuals lower on agreeableness will likely help others. In contrast, a weak situation could involve a new employee joining a workgroup where no expectations regarding how people work together have been set.  This employee may realize that he has a unique experience that if shared would help another team member finish his task more quickly. In this situation, the agreeableness trait might be activated by knowledge he can help a coworker with a task, but generally without other cues present, it is more likely that those high in agreeableness will offer to help.

Trait theory is a psychological approach that includes studying personality traits as relatively stable individual differences which describe general predispositions or predictable common patterns of thinking and experiencing emotions that influence behavior. In fact, personality traits have been associated with important life outcomes (see Personality and life outcomes).  The most well-known description or categorization of personality traits is called the "Big Five personality traits" which includes five broad personality dimensions: conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and neuroticism (or, in its inverse form, emotional stability).

In personality psychology there has been a long-standing person-situation debate wherein trait theorists suggested behavior could be predicted by analyzing consistent personalities across situations, but "situationists" disagreed that personalities were as consistent as trait theorists suggested. Situationists argued that the external situation – not general traits – was what influenced behavior.  Today, most personality psychologists adhere to an interactionist perspective, where both person and situation contribute to human behavior; as a result, the primary debate no longer exists.

Personality-job fit theory (based on the broader concept of person-environment fit) suggests that certain job environments are more suited to individuals with certain personality characteristics, and that hiring individuals who are the best "fit" will result in higher employee satisfaction, well-being and better job performance. In other words, personality-job fit theory is based on an interactional model which suggests that both person and situation interact to influence behavior.

How is it that we can not seem to believe that something nutritious and healthy could in fact be tasty and pleasurable? Ever since I started to eat healthy food I have actually discovered new tastes, brand-new flavours and brand-new favourites. I do it almost daily. When I stopped taking a look at meat as the main ingredient of a dish I found a hundred brand-new ways to prepare an excellent meal. I did not leave out meat totally, just the kinds which contain hydrogenated fat. I continued to consume chicken, turkey and fish. (Chicken has its fat in the skin, so you can cut it off.) I consume vegetarian dishes a minimum of 3 days a week, and the veg food has become my preferred food. Why? Since it tastes so good and the food is so easy to differ. I can not consider a life without it anymore. It would be a poor life. This food is a treasury and it has given me energy and strength that I did not have previously.

Jenna Lowe was a bright, beautiful and courageous young girl who lived in Cape Town, South Africa. She had a gentle, yet strong, compassionate and engaging nature and lived a happy, healthy life until she was diagnosed with a rare, life threatening illness at the age of seventeen.
Jenna was blessed with great intellect and interest in the world, from a very young age her wish was to influence social change. She devoured books, and at the age of eight she wrote and published her own magical children's story called The Magic Bissie Tree. It tells the story of a young forest girl who steps on a magic thorn and falls gravely ill. The story follows the girl's journey through many adventures and battles to a far off land. She is guided by a magical doctor to find The Magic Bissie Tree, her cure. It's about the generous people who help her on her way, the challenges she faces and the bravery she shows in the face of her rare condition. Little did the then eight-year-old Jenna realise that in some symbolic way, she was predicting and writing her own story.
Jenna's avid thirst for knowledge ensured her a successful school career. She won many academic awards and accolades and had a particular passion for languages, history, politics and philosophy. In 2011, whilst in Grade 10, she represented her school at Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu's Youth Peace Summit. She also played the lead role in her school's house play, was enjoying great long term friendships and had been selected to go to Sydney, Australia, for an exchange programme. Her life appeared to be perfect.
It was at around this time that Jenna started to become noticeably breathless. She breathed heavily, tired easily, needed more and more sleep and found exercise increasingly difficult. Doctors conducted many medical tests, including an ECG, extensive blood tests, chest x-rays, echo-cardiograms, lung function tests and more. We could find nothing to explain her symptoms. But knew that something was very wrong. Halfway through 2011 Jenna was misdiagnosed with Asthma. Relieved that we had 'found the problem', Jen was put onto asthma treatment and went ahead with the exchange to Sydney for three months … she came home in far worse condition than she left.
In January 2012, now aged seventeen, Jenna was hospitalised for the first time. She could no longer walk even a few meters without collapsing with breathlessness. So began the slow and difficult process of finding the correct diagnosis. Eventually it was a nuclear VQ scan and catheterised angiogram that confirmed our beautiful young daughter had an extremely rare lung disease called Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PH). This little-known, degenerative and life-threatening condition changed Jenna's life – all of our lives – forever.
Finding treatment:
We committed ourselves to finding the right medical care. We also educated ourselves about Pulmonary Hypertension so that we could stay abreast of the latest medical knowledge and global treatments to improve Jenna's quality of life and buy her more time. From the beginning it was clear that, as with any rare disease, our involvement as a family in her medical journey was going to be vital. Social media and the internet helped us to find, connect and collaborate with the very best medical advice and PH Centres of Excellence around the world, specifically UC Denver, Colorado Hospital in the US, and St Vincent's in Sydney. We left no stone unturned to find, fund and import treatments that would help Jenna and other PH patients in South Africa.
Despite this, Jenna became increasingly more ill. There was no way to predict her energy levels. She was robbed of oxygen and slowly lost more and more ability to conduct a normal life. Her regime of medicines was vast but her attitude was incredible. Jenna refused to become a victim or give up on her goals. Extraordinary dignity, courage and grace in the face of adversity exuded from her daily.
Living life to the full:
By mid 2012 Jenna was using a mobility scooter to get move around, as she could no longer walk without becoming completely short of breath and putting strain on her heart. By December of 2012 Jenna was living on supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day. Nevertheless, she participated in and won the National Public Speaking Championship for Persuasive Speech during her Grade 11 year, and was made Deputy Head Girl of her school in her Grade 12 year. Every day she slept for longer and longer. hours She had to grab the moments when she was strong enough to cope with going to classes, debating society and public speaking club, or just to get up and have a meal.
Together we rallied the Medical Control Council of SA and international pharmaceutical companies to bring in the drugs that Jenna needed. We held numerous fundraisers to pay for them and ran a highly successful media awareness campaign for Pulmonary Hypertension in order that other patients could get earlier diagnosis and, therefore, better care.
At the end of 2013 Jenna managed to write her final matric exams in a private room with an invigilator. She survived on six litres litres of oxygen a minute. Incredibly, she graduated with seven distinctions and 11 academic prizes from her school. She was also invited to the Premiers Residence to receive an Academic Excellence Award for being one of the top 30 students in the Western Cape.
More expertise is needed:
By December 2013 it became very clear that Jenna was rapidly deteriorating. With the help of Discovery Health, Prof Wilcox at UCT Academic Hospital, and our fundraising efforts, we flew Professor David Badesch, Director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Programme from University of Colorado Hospital in the US, and his nurse practitioner to South Africa. Their intention was to see Jenna and oversee the introduction of an intravenous drug called Flolan, and hold symposiums in both Cape Town and Johannesburg to share their knowledge of Pulmonary Hypertension and treatment options with local doctors.
24 hour intravenous medication:
Flolan is an Intravenous Epoprostenol. It's an extremely expensive and intensive management drug that and was delivered in minute amounts, with a special pump, directly into Jenna's right heart chamber. We built a sterile hospital room at home and fast had to become experienced homecare "nurses". Jenna was the only patient in Africa to be on this drug. Given that it only had a 3 ½ minute half-life, these were scary times. It took an hour to mix the drug daily – an exacting 35 step sterile and exacting process in which there was absolutely no room for human error.
Ice bags were changed every six hours, pumps rotated to ensure there was no room for error, and central lines were changed three times a week. The drug was fed intravenously into her heart 24 hours a day, at a rate that was titrated gradually every month. Jen's IV Epoprostenol had begun. This was the bridge to a transplant; a way to buy our girl more time. Once a patient is on Flolan you don't come off it, not for a minute, as that could be life threatening.
In desperate need of a transplant
By early 2014 Jen was urgently listed for a bi-lateral (double) lung transplant in early 2014. Yet again we threw ourselves into doing our research. It was with horror that we realised South Africa has one of the lowest organ donation rates in the world: only 0.3% of the population are organ donors. And yet there are at least 4,300 South Africans desperately awaiting a transplant on any given day. Who would have thought that South Africa, the location of the first ever heart transplant, was in a dire situation with regards to organ donors.
GetMeTo21 goes viral
Jenna took up the cause. She became passionate about raising awareness to increase the number of organ donors registered in SA. We educated ourselves once again and put together a Plea for Action and presented it to the Portfolio of Health Committee in Parliament. We also rallied the media to help raise awareness and, with the help of Lowe Cape Town, Jenna's award-winning, internationally acclaimed, Getmeto21 campaign was born. In its simplest form it was an invitation to the entire nation to attend her 21st birthday party. All you had to do to be there was sign up to be an organ donor.
Jenna's campaign went viral and organ donation rates increased by 287% in the first few months following her campaign. Our beautiful Jen had touched and inspired a nation!
By now Jen was pretty much bed-ridden; our telephones never left our side in case we got "the call". Those were difficult times. We knew she was getting worse by the day and the chances of finding the perfect organ match were slim. And yet, there was always hope.
At 9.10am on December 10th , 2015, the call came. A match had been found. We had four hours to move our lives and our precious girl to Johannesburg, complete with all her complex equipment, O2 and medication. The evacuation plan kicked in to action. For months we had been ready and waiting a detailed document called Operation O2, which listed everything that needed to happen, how it was to happen and in what order, so that we could get her there in time. Four hours later (not without some challenges along the way) a helicopter carrying Jen landed at the hospital. With her mom, dad, sister, Nurse Lizzie and boyfriend at her side, Jen said her goodbyes and was and wheeled into surgery at 6pm.
The surgery was eight hours long and very intense. The surgeons said it was one of the most difficult surgeries they'd ever done. The Johannesburg skies punctuated the night dramatically with thunder and lightning as we waited during those eight long hours. Waiting had now taken on a whole new meaning.
Jen was wheeled out at 2am. She had survived the surgery! Hope flooded in, and so began six incredibly difficult and indescribable months in ICU.
Jenna spent six months in hospital for post-transplant care. Most of that time was in ICU. The lungs were an excellent match but her tiny body was wracked by gastro paresis, kidney failure, appendicitis and pancreatitis, amongst many other things that had gone wrong. Jen was dealt far more complex health challenges than most post-transplant patients and she bore them with unique gratitude, courage, grace and dignity right up until the end. We had moved our lives to Johannesburg and we nursed her lovingly and fiercely 16 hours a day. It was an unimaginably traumatic time, with much pain and suffering.
Despite our continuous hope that she would recover, our beautiful Jenna passed away on the 8th of June, 2015. She was still in ICU.
Her dying wish was to encourage more people to become organ donors in SA. She also wanted to help other PH patients find treatment earlier and to start a lung transplant unit for state patients.

2020 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Has Been Canceled for Obvious Reasons
Sorry, rich people, you'll have to congregate elsewhere.
By Chris Tsui April 23, 2020
This year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance classic car show has been canceled, event organizers announced in a press release on Wednesday night. In the off-chance you still need us to spell out why, it's due to the coronavirus pandemic that's been canceling and postponing auto shows and motorsport events left and right for the past several weeks.
Originally scheduled for Aug. 16, this year's event would've been the 70th Concours to ever take place, a milestone that will have to be reserved for next year's Concours d'Elegance slated for Aug. 15, 2021. Speaking of next year's show, Pebble Beach organizers have promised that invites and tickets already held by this year's entrants and attendees will still be valid for the 2021 event. Current ticketholders also have the option of requesting a refund in case they are unable to attend next year.
As for the various car auctions that happen leading up to Pebble Beach, Gooding & Company has officially postponed its auction to 2021 while RM Sotheby's has, as of this writing, yet to make an official announcement regarding its Monterey event although we'd be super surprised if that doesn't get postponed eventually as well. Sorry rich people, I guess you'll just have to blow this year's classic car budget on something else. (To be completely fair, the Concours is, at the end of the day, a charitable event. It has apparently raised over $29 million for charity since it began in 1950.)
While the cancellation of yet another major automotive event undoubtedly sucks, it was pretty much inevitable and definitely for the best especially considering the kind of folks it caters to. It ain't exactly Radwood out there, y'know?

There are, let's face it, very few ways in which the classic English breakfast can be improved upon. Indeed, you might argue there aren't any—and you'd be right, in our eyes, were it not for the honourable exception of Maria's bacon and egg bap, and Mrs King's smoked bacon and mushroom tart. The former has been dished out for decades at Maria's Market Café, together with a hot, strong cuppa; the latter is a recent addition to the Market, courtesy of Hambleton Bakery and Mrs King's Pork Pies.
Mrs King's is a Borough Market stalwart and more or less the home of Melton Mowbray pork pies, having been hand-making them to an award-winning family recipe since the 19th century. Hambleton Bakery is, as the name suggests, an artisanal bakery based in nearby Exton, Rutland. Their coming together in tart form is as much a meeting of produce as minds. "The smoked bacon is local, just as the pork is for the pork pies," says Zoe. The midlands area in which the bakery and pie shop are based is rich in the wide, flat fields pigs like to root around in. The pastry is made with flour from local wheat, and the eggs are local too—not to mention joyfully free range.
The result is the happiest marriage of bacon, eggs and 'shrooms this side of the full English. The eggs are scrambled to silky perfection, the bacon is crisp, the mushrooms are meaty, and the whole jamboree is ensconced in shortcrust pastry so buttery it'd make a buttercup sing.
Warmed up (in the oven, Zoe insists, not in the microwave) it's the perfect balm for a cold day—but it's great as it is, be it for lunch, elevenses or breakfast: proof, if proof were needed, that anything can be bettered by the addition of pastry.

My pet cactus protests my participation in Whiskerino 2009. It has decided that it will now celebrate 5 de Mustache every single day, by sporting my recently shaved 'stache.
A cactus with a mustache. What more do you need?
Little else, good sir. Little else.
Pay no attention to the cactus. He's just jealous.
I would recommend against wearing that stache again, lest the cactus really get the last laugh.


Looking for a less expensive, less-bloated, less Microsoftian alternative to MS Office? Papyrus Office 11 incorporates a first-rate word-processor with integrated spreadsheet capabilities and a relational database including an intuitive user interface for instantaneous searches. For many users, Papyrus should prove a perfectly satisfactory alternative to the Microsoft behemoth. The latest version 11.27 upgrade was released this month.
Papyrus has been around in a German language Windows version (as well as TOS and OS/2 Warp variants) for twelve years, as its version number (11) attests. Consequently, it's mature software.
Papyrus Office has been ported to an English language OS X version and is ready to confront the colossus of production software on the Mac platform.
The developers' stated philosophy is to make your work as simple as possible by providing carefully selected, powerful features in a ergonomic package while avoiding useless bells and whistles. "Adding 'more' can quickly become 'too much' - except for those people who earn money on bulky and slow Office software (generally, people who offer training seminars or sell expensive new computers)."
As with MS Office, the core application of the Papyrus Office suite is a word processor called Word, which in this case also incorporates an integrated spreadsheet function. There is also a relational database called Papyrus Base.
Papyrus Base uses XML format to store data, allowing multiple (networked) users to operate on (and change) a single database all at the same time. Base has powerful search functions, full-text database search, and document management via integration with Papyrus Word, supporting creation of serial (mail merge) letters and reports.
If you're a regular Miscellaneous Ramblings reader, you've probably noticed that I'm something of a fan of German software, which seems to be typically efficiently coded, making for small, lean, fast, very precise feeling and responsive applications. I'm a longtime user of the iCab browser, the DEVONthink desktop database and information manager programs, as well as SILVERfast server software. Not German, but still North European (Norway) is my current favorite browser, Opera, which shares similar characteristics.
The compressed download file for Papyrus was only 3.9 MB, bolstering my optimism that this would prove to be another compact Teutonic powerhouse application. Unstuffed, the the Papyrus 11.27 application folder is a svelte 9.4 MB (actually down .4 MB form the previous version I downloaded last summer). Papyrus requires just 2 MB of RAM when fully loaded.
Installing Papyrus is simple. Just drag the unstuffed Papyrus folder to any location on your hard drive, and then copy the registration papyrus.key file you receive via email into the new folder. Make sure to keep a backup copy of your license serial number and the papyrus.key file.
The operative questions many prospective users of MS Office alternatives ask will be how does it handle the inevitable MS Office formatted documents you throw at it, and how well does it export documents in MS Office format? Papyrus opened the MS Word documents I tested with formatting fully intact and can save documents in its native (*.PAP) format, as well as RTF, DOC (Word), and HTML files.
Word documents open without drama simply by dragging them to the Papyrus icon in the Dock, and you can also set your OS X Finder preferences (in the document Get Info dialog) to designate Papyrus as you default .doc document application (either globally or individually) for double-clickable document opening.
Database forms and generated reports are Papyrus Word documents. Form letters can be generated by combining a Papyrus Word document with a Papyrus Base database. This technique can also be used for automated literature indices for bibliographies.
Papyrus can handle very large documents (even ones with thousands of pages) and large numbers of embedded graphics, and it supports multiple (separate) regions within a document. With this feature, you can make parallel changes to separate regions all at once. You can also use drag & drop with discontinuous blocks.
The program's full-text database search engine supports narrowing the search parameters with each change to the expression (even as you type each letter). Type whatever you remember that matches any field in the record you are looking for. With each typed character Papyrus refines the search result, so that you can find the record you are looking for quickly. In addition, you can activate the "phonetic" option, so that variant spellings ("Schulz" =< "Schultz"), accents ("á" = "a"), or (German) umlauts ("ä" = "ae") don't get in the way.
Papyrus starts up very quickly, even on my now low-end 700 MHz G3 iBook.
When you start Papyrus, the documents and/or databases you were working on when Papyrus was last closed will automatically be reopened. If there was no document open when you closed Papyrus, you will be shown the file selector, allowing you to choose a file to open.
The Papyrus user interface is quite attractive to my eyes. The icons and color scheme remind me of the SILVERfast SE scanner software, so perhaps it's reflective of a Teutonic aesthetic sense that I find appealing. Icons are sensibly arranged and clearly (or at least intuitively) labeled.
One interface element I was less than smitten with is the individually formatted pages as you scroll through a document. This motif dates back the the old MacWrite word processor and has also been used in ClarisWorks, AppleWorks, and Mariner Write, so it's not unique to Papyrus. It is, in fact, traditionally Mac-like.
Personally, I prefer the old MS Word convention of a continuously scrolling document with vestigial page break markers, but that's just my taste. I work mainly with plain text and find page formatting in my drafts distracting.
Papyrus responds quite smoothly and smartly for the most part. One exception, especially with larger documents, is scrolling, which is slow and distinctly un-smooth, at least on my slow Mac with its modest Radeon 7500 video support.
This may also be an artifact of the port from Windows, since I've noticed poky scrolling in other Mac software ported from Windows. I don't want to belabor this point overmuch, because it will probably be a lot less of an issue on faster machines, and in general Papyrus is satisfyingly Mac-like with its Windows ancestry well hidden.
A particular example of the care and attention to detail that's been put into bringing Papyrus to the Mac is the online Help files, which are comprehensive, clear, and readable - and thoroughly Macified. It would be nice if Papyrus became popular enough that Pogue Press/O'Reilly would release a "Missing Manual" for it, but the online version should walk you through the workings of the program satisfactorily.
The Help menu includes a table of contents, general help, and a list of keyboard shortcuts. Important elements of the online help are the hyperlinks provided in each document. By mouse clicking you can jump to a related part of the online help and always return to where you started from by using the "Back" entry of the contextual menu (right mouse button or Control click). The Help system is designed to make intensive use of hyperlinks. Additional help is provided by the Tutorial and Assistants, which may be opened from the Help folder.
Personally, my main interest in office suites is the word processor. I've never really gotten into using spreadsheets or relational databases, and while perhaps I'm missing out on something, I've never felt the lack. Indeed, even for word crunching these days a text editor serves most of my needs admirably, but back in the day I did used to work more frequently with formatted documents, and indeed word processing remains one of the elements of the fundamental triad of functions most people use computers most often for, the other two being Web surfing and email.
Papyrus is a powerful program with a rich and comprehensive feature set. It would take a very long article just to catalog and briefly describe all of its functions, but here are a few examples that I found particularly interesting.
Contextual Menus and "Mummify Text"
Papyrus makes extensive use of contextual menus. Whenever you want to execute a special operation for a certain element in your document, a right mouse click on the element will open a menu offering a selection of commands corresponding to the chosen element. For example, if you right-click on a graphic, you will see commands for color, fill pattern, line styles, etc.
To aid in editing your (or someone else's) text, Papyrus makes it possible to delete text passages provisionally, allowing you to recover the text later. Mark text you want to delete and select the option "mummify text" (from the contextual menu). This will remove the text and store it in a holder, which the developers call a "mummy" (partly because of the Egyptian history of the word papyrus). A symbol appears as a small red flag with a black plus sign. The text within the "mummy" is displayed as tooltip-help when you hold the mouse over the symbol.
The mummy saves text only - no formatting or text styles are saved. If you recover the text contents, they are restored to the document with the attributes that apply to the mummy's location. By double-clicking on the symbol, you may display and even edit the mummy contents in their "deleted" condition.
A master page is a template that organizes regularly reappearing elements of the page layout like columns, page numbers, and captions in header/footer areas, so that the layout is consistent and reusable. You can add background pictures to master pages (which makes a difference to global, document-wide background pictures which are possible, too, by using the Background Picture page of the Document Properties notebook).
Multiple master pages with different layouts may be used within one document.
Papyrus offers true WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) tables including calculation functions so you can include spreadsheet functionality directly in the document.
Papyrus has no dedicated spreadsheet mode - all spreadsheet/calculation features are embedded in the word processor. Papyrus allows a maximum paper size of 9 x 9 meters (about 354 inches - 29.5 feet! - in each direction), which should be enough for most users' needs. Papyrus's poster printing feature makes it easy to print huge tables even on normal legal, letter, or A4 size printers.
The WYSIWYG concept applies to Papyrus documents saved as HTML files. Just compose the document in Papyrus and then save them as HTML pages.
With Papyrus' HTML features, it's possible to keep your Papyrus documents optimized both as text and as HTML without tedious reformatting, and you can import and process existing HTML documents in Papyrus. Existing code will be changed only if absolutely necessary, and unknown tags will be left untouched.
I tried converting a heavily formatted MS Word file to HTML, and Papyrus did a very decent job of it, including maintaining the graphic content.
Papyrus Word's Sticky Notes feature lets you create notes or remarks in your documents. You can paste these labels anywhere in a document, automatically be marked as non-printable in default yellow.
The Text Styles dialog page allows you to save frequently used text style settings so that you can reuse them without having to set every attribute manually each time.
The Spell Checker Options dialog contains settings for Papyrus' IntelliView spell checking and correction system.
Papyrus Office is a self-contained executable, permitting it to run even from (fast) removable media (such as USB memory sticks) - a feature that reminds me a bit of the old "minimal install" option with old MS Word 5.1. You can take Papyrus (and your data) with you and use it on any Mac (or Windows) computer. Remove the memory stick, and you leave the system untouched.
Papyrus is available as a free demo to check out before committing any cash. Since it's so small, this poses no hardship, and Papyrus may turn out the be the MS Office alternative you've been looking for - or just a great productivity app in its own right.
System requirements: Papyrus Office for Mac is completely compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or newer (Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger).
Papyrus Office 11 (English) - Word processing, spreadsheet, desktop publishing, and relational database software, including online help and English-language example files, shipment via Internet download; for Windows 9x-XP, Mac OS X sells for $99 or 99€. Crossgrade or student orders (check conditions on website) are entitled to a discount of $20 or 20€.
A downloadable demo of the program is free. Multiple user licenses are available.
Papyrus Office is shipped via Internet download. Users receive a license key via email, including instructions on how to download the complete package from our Internet server.


Helping a troubled family member through a crisis is an extremely difficult process. Not only do you have to handle their emotions, but you also have to deal with your own. Seeing someone you love struggle with life is never easy, so there is no shame in becoming overwhelmed. Although it is important to take things one day at a time, it is also vital that you have a clear plan in place. This will help you to stay strong, clear-minded, and motivated when times are getting tough. Below are three helpful tips that you should include in your plans for the future.
If you have already sat down for plenty of talks with your troubled family member, perhaps now is the time to try a different approach. One option is to write them a heartfelt letter that outlines all of your feelings on the situation. Another idea is to focus your attention on building up your loved one's levels of self-esteem. You could do this with a positive affirmation jar or a photo board. Alternatively, you could go all out with a striking whiteboard video that stars them in the leading role. It might take some time before you find an approach that works, but the most important thing is that you persevere.
The next step is to be as sensitive and empathetic as possible. Even if you are unable to directly relate to the situation your loved one is in, it is still essential that you avoid jumping in with harsh judgments. Sometimes just listening closely is enough to show the other person that you care. Adopting a sensitive strategy will also come in handy when it comes to helping your troubled family member towards a brighter future. Instead of upsetting them with clumsy gestures, you will have a much better chance of getting them on board. For instance, if your loved one struggles with alcohol, you should consider buying them a breathalyzer for car journeys. Don't worry, rather than getting an obvious machine; there are breathalyzers available that could easily be mistaken for something else. What better way for you to save your family member from embarrassment, whilst keeping them out of harm's way? By looking to help them, as opposed to criticizing them, they will know that you are there for them and may be more likely to open up,or try to combat whatever issue they are facing.
If you are completely overwhelmed by the challenge that lies ahead of you, it might be a good idea to seek out professional help. If your loved one is willing, you should schedule regular appointments with a therapist or life coach. This is an important step to take if your family member is determined to take huge strides towards stability. Just make sure that you support your loved one through the process. Perhaps you could drive them to and from their appointments. Or, maybe you could even sit in on a session from time to time. In addition to this, you could purchase your loved one a wide range of self-help books. Before handing these books over, you should have a go at reading them independently. This will assist you in better understanding the situation that you are dealing with.

American legendary band Red Hot Chili Peppers has now reacted to the BDS call to cancel their scheduled concert in Tel Aviv. As they landed this morning in the Holy Land, the band hurried straight to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem - the band will also, I'm sure, visit Yad Vashem and the Museum of Jewish Tolerance.
By now I'd expect that some within the BDS movement would have gathered the obvious: that 'show-business' like banking, media and so much other 'business' is controlled by tribal interests. Show-biz, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers today proved, is just a continuation of Hasbara.


I've been meaning to get to this one all weekend. Nicole Bell flags a story on Barney Frank's excellent intentions.
"I'm going to file a bill as soon as we go back to remove all federal penalties for the possession or use of small amounts of marijuana," Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, told Maher.
Nicole thinks it won't go anywhere.
I'd agree with her that the chances are slim to none of such a bill getting to the floor, much less passing in an election year, but in terms of Frank's personal strategy, it makes complete sense.
Barney is a long time advocate for marijuana policy reform and there is a large constituency in MA that supports legalization, or at least decrim. Further, marijuana reform is a hot issue in the Commonwealth this year. He has nothing to lose by bringing it forward and he will only endear himself further to an active and growing reform movement in the Commonwealth.
I don't know if he's facing any serious competition in a reelection bid, but he's smart to position himself to be able to tap into a well organized community of activists who will surely support his campaign. Besides, he's right. It is silly to be jailing tens of thousands of Americans for ingesting a natural herb.


The award establishes a new REU Site focused on the security of mobile devices at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT).

There is plenty you need to do in planning before you travel. Packing, buying plane tickets, or getting the car ready to go. Of course, you can't forget hotel reservations. The following article offers many great tips to make your hotel stay pleasant.
Make sure you check out online review websites prior to making a reservation for a hotel. Reviews allow you to read about recent experiences at a hotel. Reading other people's reviews of the hotels you're considering can really help you decide which one to choose.
TIP! Prior to booking a hotel, refer to TripAdvisor and similar online travel review sites. These reviews can give you a customer's perspective of the hotel you are planning on staying at.
Consider your organizational memberships. You may be able to receive discounts on hotel through these organizations. These discounts can be as much as 10 percent or even more. You end up with an even bigger savings if your hotel stay is going to be for multiple nights. If you are staying for a week, you can pay for a whole night's lodging with these discounts.
When picking a hotel, there is a lot to think about. Of course price is a big deal, but a hotel close to where you are head is a big consideration. Things like free breakfast can make a big difference for some families. So decide on the amenities that mean the most to you and start looking.
TIP! Find great hotel room prices by checking out travel websites like Orbitz and Expedia. If you belong to a hotel's loyalty program, be sure to input that information when checking rates.
Use online search tools for hotels. Travel websites are very helpful when seeking the best deals. They can provide you with an idea of the average rate charged by each hotel, so you will have a good idea as to whether or not the deal you are being offered is good. They also help you decide the dates for your vacation and the activities you'll want to partake of.
Be sure you inspect the room you are given at check in before you start unpacking. Is it free of mildew and mold while being clean? Check the toilet, the shower, and the sink to make sure they are clean and function properly. Do you have all the towels and linens you need? If you see that there are problems with your room, let the people at the front desk know right away so they can get things taken care of. Or, they can move you to another room.
TIP! Consider your organizational memberships. Many clubs, groups and organizations are able to get members discounted hotel rates.
If you tend to stay at the same hotel a lot, see about signing up for their frequent guest program. These hotel programs give you points for each stay. These points can add up to hotel restaurant discounts, spa deals, free nights and much more.
TIP! Take advantage of online hotel searching tools. Some websites are designed to help you find the best deals.
It's important to find the right accommodations when you are traveling. From a budget place to a luxurious spa, what you choose makes a huge difference. Remember this advice from this article when you need to make your next hotel reservation.
