NEWS DAY | New nurses' strike? / Erlinder in jail / Gay in St. Cloud
First make concessions – then we might bargain. That seems to be the message from 14 Minnesota hospitals to the Minnesota Nurses Association, which has asked to return to the bargaining table, but is also planning another strike vote. Continue reading →

News Day: Chicken towns / Hot property / Lutherans come to MN / Police violence on video
Chicken towns St. Paul may soon have more chickens, reports the Star Tribune. A proposed new ordinance would allow St. Paul residents to keep three or fewer hens without getting permission from their neighbors, and with a reduced license fee of $25. The Strib quotes St. Paul city environmental manager Bill Gunther: "I'm a city kid, and I'm thinking they're an agrarian animal that belongs on a farm," he said. "But there's a shift in thinking. Chickens are nothing more than a big bird."
Of course, St. Paul already has some backyard chickens. So do Minneapolis, Anoka and Burnsville (but not Hastings.) Minneapolis even has a chicken rescue operation. And, unlike St. Paul, Minneapolis allows roosters in its backyard flocks.
Hot property The Star Tribune tagged Lake and Knox in Minneapolis as a "hot property:"
Details: Minneapolis property owners Nick Walton and Daniel Oberpriller have gotten approvals for a two-part development at a highly visible "gateway" into the Uptown neighborhood.
The article did not mention the strong community opposition to the development, or the protest resignation of Lara Norkus-Crampton, ECCO resident and Minneapolis Planning Commission member for the past three years, when the Planning Department and Planning Commission overruled the Uptown Small Area Plan (USAP).
More unallotments Late on Friday, Governor Tim Pawlenty released notice of another round of unallotments. The $13.6 million comes from agency operating budgets for FY 2011. Budget Commissioner Tom Hanson's letter and accompanying documents (PDF) list all of the agencies that will be affected.
MPR reports that the biggest cuts come from a Revenue Department account, the Human Services Department, and Metro Transit aid. The cuts are widespread, ranging from the governor's office to public health outreach and education. the Natural Resources Department also received more than a million dollars in cuts.
Lutherans come to MN You thought they were already here? Well, that's true, but this week, Minnesota's home-grown Lutherans will be supplemented by 1,000+ delegates to the national gathering of the 4.8 million member ELCA, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. The most controversial item on the agenda is "rostering" of openly gay, non-celibate pastors. While some gay and lesbian pastors already serve congregations, the synod does not officially recognize them.
The Minnesota Independent reported on leading voices on both sides of the issue last week, and the Star Tribune reported yesterday that, although a close vote is expected, the Lutherans insist that a tradition of politeness will prevail.
Episcopalians also face issues over gay and lesbian clergy, with breakaway groups trying to recruit more congregations to their ranks, as dioceses in Minnesota and Los Angeles plan to consecrate gay or lesbian bishops.
So far, the defections represent only about 5 percent of the 2.3 million total membership. But in July, the spinoff denominations announced an aggressive plan to launch 1,000 congregations in the next five years. …
On Aug. 1 — less than a month after the end of a moratorium on the consecration of gay bishops that was put in place to appease restive congregations — the Diocese of Minnesota announced that one of its three nominees for bishop is the Rev. Bonnie Perry, a Chicago priest who is in a long-term same-sex relationship. The next day, the Diocese of Los Angeles included two openly gay priests on its list of nominees for assistant bishop.
Circus tumble The young performers at Circus Juventas flew through the air with their usual aplomb, but spectators tumbled to the ground last night as half of the bleachers collapsed at the end of the performance. Half of the audience of 900 fell with the bleachers, and seven people were hospitalized. Broken wrist or ankles were the most serious injuries expected, according to the Pioneer Press. The collapse happened as the audience rose to applaud the end of the final performance of the three-week run of "YuLong: The Jade Dragon" at the Circus Juventas academy's Big Top, in St. Paul's Highland Park.
Violent police video Minneapolis police say that they used reasonable force in a February traffic stop, but the defendant, David Jenkins, his lawyer, and the squad car video tell another story, according to a report in the Star Tribune. The county attorney's office dropped assault charges against Jenkins "in the interest of justice" after they reviewed the video, which can be viewed on the Star Tribune website. Jenkins was stopped for allegedly going 15 miles over the speed limit. He was also charged with refusing to submit to a blood or urine test, but a judge dismissed those charges.
After being thrown to the ground by the first police officer on the scene, Jenkins was beaten and kicked and tasered three times by police.
He required seven stitches above his eye after six officers punched and kicked him while he was face-down in a snowbank. He was treated at the hospital and then jailed for four days.
Jenkins said he was the victim of an unprovoked attack simply because he had vigorously questioned Officer Richard Walker about why he was stopped and asked to talk to his supervisor.
Police chief Tim Dolan said he would review the video on Monday.
World/National News
Public option going down? The New York Times says that the "public option" for health care reform may be abandoned by the administration in favor of nonprofit health care co-ops.
On Capitol Hill, the Senate Finance Committee is expected to produce a bill that features a nonprofit co-op. The author of the idea, Senator Kent Conrad, Democrat of North Dakota and chairman of the Budget Committee, predicted Sunday that Mr. Obama would have no choice but to drop the public option.
Former Vermont governor and Democratic party chair Howard Dean disagrees, reports AP:
"You can't really do health reform without [a public option]," he said. Dean maintained that the health insurance industry has "put enormous pressure on patients and doctors" in recent years.
He called a direct government role "the entirety of health care reform. … We shouldn't spend $60 billion a year subsidizing the insurance industry."
Gaza Some 13 people were killed in clashes between Hamas government forces and an extremist religious sect, reports the Washington Post:
According to wire service and eyewitness reports of Moussa's sermon, the cleric said the group drew its inspiration from al-Qaeda, demanded that a strict Salafi form of Islam be imposed in Gaza, and criticized Hamas for its occasional meetings with Europeans and Americans, including former president Jimmy Carter.
Hamas officials said they dealt with the sect as an illegal group possessing guns and weapons.
Suicide bombing in Russia A suicide bomber in the violence-plagued North Caucasus region attacked a police station in the city of Ingushetia, killing 20 and wounding many more, reports the New York Times:
The attack seemed to further undermine the authority of Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, Ingushetia's populist president who came to power last October vowing a softer approach in dealing with rebel violence than Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of neighboring Chechnya. It was the bloodiest single attack to hit Ingushetia for some time, though violence against police and government officials in this and other North Caucasus republics occurs almost daily. Mr. Yevkurov himself announced last week that he would soon return to work after he was seriously wounded in a suicide attack on his convoy in June. Ingushetia's construction minister, Ruslan Amirkhanov, was assassinated in his office last week.
Iran Accusations of jailhouse violence, beatings and sexual abuse continue, reports the New York Times. Reformist cleric and presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi refuses to back down despite calls for his arrest by conservative clerics and politicians.
War Reports
Afghanistan Five days before national elections, reports the Washington Post, s suicide bombing in Kabul killed seven people and wounded dozens more.
Iraq A "witch hunt" against gay men in Baghdad has killed 90 since January, reports BBC, which says that "Mehdi army spokesmen and clerics have condemned what they call the 'feminisation' of Iraqi men and have urged the military to take action against them."
Afghanistan drug money A new Senate report says that the Taliban is getting only about $70 million of the estimated $400 million in drug profits each year, reports the Los Angeles Times. According to the Times:
Al Qaeda's dependence on drug money is even less, according to the report by the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which found that "there is no evidence that any significant amount of the drug proceeds go to Al Qaeda." …
In one of its most disconcerting conclusions, the Senate report says the United States inadvertently contributed to the resurgent drug trade after the Sept. 11 attacks by backing warlords who derived income from the flow of illegal drugs. The CIA and U.S. Special Forces put such warlords on their payroll during the drive to overthrow the Taliban regime in late 2001.

News Day: Cops, guns, unanswered questions / Tough talk on the hill / Urban chickens / Media misinformation, more
Cops, guns, unanswered questions Why won't Chief Dolan talk to the Pioneer Press? Why has Mpls police officer refused to sign an affidavit prepared by the Mpls city attorney and retained a private attorney? How can the Police Community Relations Council –dissolved by the City of Minneapolis months ago — petition the Justice Department now? These are just a few of the questions in the continuing saga of the Minneapolis police shooting of teenage Fong Lee in 2006. No answers to any of these questions, but you can read about more twists and turns in the gun saga from the PiPress, the report of the PCRC complaint from Fox 9, and the exclusive interviews Dolan gave to the Strib, MPR, and KSTP. Did anyone say "softball" interviews?
Earlier this week, Dolan sat for interviews with the Minneapolis-based Star Tribune and Minnesota Public Radio, and on Thursday, he was interviewed by KSTP. It does not appear that he was asked about Adams' refusal to give an affidavit for the city or his hiring of a lawyer.

News Day: Budget as moral document / Pork on the hill / Tax analysis / Take two aspirin / more
Budget as moral document "We're in this together," Rev. Peter Rogness, bishop of the St. Paul Area Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,
reminds us, writing about Minnesota's budget in MinnPost. Bishop Rogness talks about the budget as decisions made by all of us — "a family gathered around the table to talk things over or a small village where everyone meets in the town hall to discuss common concerns. There's no them, only us." Continue reading →

News Day January 7
(Not) teaching English already? Education Week magazine finds that Minnesota lacks enough ESL teachers, the Strib reports, with a ratio of 49 students to each ESL teacher, compared to a national 19 to 1 average. That's critical, since Minnesota's ESL student population doubled, growing from 30,000 in 1995 to 61,000 in 2005, according to Education Commissioner Alice Seagren. In suburban Anoka-Hennepin, the state's largest district, ESL enrollment has gone from 118 students 15 years ago to 3,200 today. In contrast to today's push for all immigrants to learn English yesterday, the Hispanic Fanatic notes a recent University of Wisconsin study showing that a century ago "many immigrants felt no need to learn English at all, much less quickly, and that some of them, in the words of the researchers, 'appeared to live and thrive for decades while speaking exclusively German.'"
Kudos to MinnPost for adding a DC correspondent, Cynthia Dizikes. That makes two for MN, with the other spot occupied by the Strib's Kevin Diaz. Minnesota may have only one senator at the moment, but we have eight congressional reps, and now two whole reporters to cover the crowd.
Maybe we should move to NoDak. MPR reports that North Dakota has a $1.2 billion budget surplus and Governor John Hoeven is planning both tax cuts and increased state spending. (He also wants to keep a budget reserve of at least $600 million, noting that the state is not immune to the national economic recession.)
Okay to discriminate. The Minnesota Court of Appeals agreed that a lesbian couple raising two daughters can be denied family membership in a Rochester health club, reports the Strib. No gay marriage, no equal rights: 2009 repeats 2008 repeats 2007 …
"It's a nightmare, dude." Both the Strib and the PiPress devote major column inches to the Minnesota Fatal Attraction story of a former "female friend" who trashed her ex's apartment, pouring paint over walls and into computer and toilet and even impaling his daughter's teddy bear on a steak knife. The case should be easy to make — she posted photos on her MySpace account.
Their ex-prime minister trumps our president-elect. TPM has the Blair House answer we have been waiting for: King George Bush II said president-elect Obama and his family can't stay in the official guest house while awaiting the inauguration (and getting daughters in school and naming cabinet members and handling the rest of the transition business) because, in the waning moments of the reign of George II, he is "hosting former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, and will be giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Fun fact about Howard: He is a staunch Iraq War supporter who said in early 2007 that if he were in al-Qaeda he would be praying as much as possible for an Obama victory and for the Democrats in general."

Fact Checking Republican Lies About Crime
Scare stories about crime have been a staple of Republican campaign ads for decades. This year is the worst I've ever seen. That's a big part of the reason that fear of crime is rising, even when crime is not. In Minnesota, lying Republican ads attack Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison. Even […]
Countdown to November 8
Georgia celebrated a record first-day early voting turnout of more than 131,000 on October 17. In contrast, armed and masked vigilantes intimidated voters at ballot drop boxes in Arizona. Georgia's turnout represents the best of U.S. democracy. Arizona represents the dark future if election deniers and proponents of the Big Lie win.
Attacking voting rights
Attacks on voting rights began long before the 2020 election, with moves by Congress and the Supreme Court to gut the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The attacks continue in this electoral cycle, with intimidation of voters, restrictions on absentee voting, and laws designed to make in-person voting more difficult, especially for voters of color and […]
Threats to election officials
Elections depend on loyal election officials, many of them volunteers, all committed to free and fair elections. Some are paid, full-time government employees, working year-round to make sure that elections run smoothly. Some are your neighbors, volunteering from 6 am to 9 pm in polling places on election days. Now more than one in five U.S. […]
Sabotaging the election process
Election sabotage is not just something that could happen in November 2022 or in 2024: It is an ongoing crime that began with the 2020 election. This sabotage prominently included attempts to coerce state officials to "find" more votes, designation of illegal slates of electors, Congressional Republican votes against certification of election results, and the […]

A love scorned. A heart enraged. A soul shattered.
Dylan McBride never knew pain until he lost Heaven. As if her betrayal didn't break his heart, knowing he's responsible for her death sends him spiraling into a web of darkness. He's the reason their daughter will grow up without her mother and the reason the world may be doomed. Though his new abilities make him a bigger threat to his father, they're unpredictable. Killing his dad will be simple…Killing Layne won't.
Layne Perry's soul is shattered, right along with his heart. After learning the truth about the Affinity, he was ready to claim what was his—Heaven's heart and soul. Watching her fall from the cliff nearly destroyed him. It's his duty to her daughter that keeps him alive, as does the promise he made to Heaven in a dream. He'll risk his life to make sure Adalyn's protected from The Fallen, and even her father should the need arise.
When Adalyn shows Layne a future he knows is impossible, he resumes the search for Heaven with the aid of her father and an unlikely ally. Yet chaos prevails as usual. A traumatizing secret is revealed, complicating Layne's life more than ever. He must form an alliance with other Psi and make amends with Dylan, the one person who hates him. But the battle between him and his former friend is far from over, bringing Layne to one conclusion—those who fight hardest have nothing left to lose.
What the Heart Seeks is a paranormal romance full of suspense, soulmates and supernatural twists. If you like vibrant worlds, mystical characters, and heart-pounding romance, you'll enjoy this epic tale of love, light, and darkness.
Early Reviews of What the Heart Seeks
I find myself in awe of Kelli's writing skills. It is apparent that she has put much thought, attention to detail, and care into the creation of these incredible characters and the storyline. She has an astonishing imagination.
For someone who NEVER delves into the paranormal genre, I cannot wait to read more and look forward to seeing where this inventive and riveting story leads Dylan, Heaven and Layne.
~ CJ at Book Happiness
I shouldn't be surprised and awed by the sheer talent Kelli McCracken possesses but every new book I read by her just shocks me. She knows how to weave an incredible story around you and leave you craving more and more. Her characters are strong and independent with a fire inside them. This book blew me away and I was left with my mouth hanging open in shock and awe. The explosive story is one that has been building since What the Hear Wants. I absolutely loved this book and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series and book to anyone that will listen to my ramblings.
In this book we find Dylan and Layne shrouded in secrets while mourning the unbelievable loss of Heaven, not to mention the fate of mankind. Dylan wants to do nothing but lash out at all those he feels is responsible his Dad and Layne are at the top of this list. Layne has taken on the role of guarding Adalyn which means he won't allow Dylan and his darkness to touch her. Will Layne's heart and soul, yet again be broken by what his heart seeks? Will Dylan give into the darkness that surrounds him and destroy everyone and everything in his path?

Life (Trinity Series #4)
Maria De La Torre is a survivor. Her life has not been paved with streets of gold…but with blood and sacrifice. She may have been there for her soul sister in the Trinity Trilogy but this story is about her life. The life she chooses. The same life someone from her past is trying to take away.
Elijah is the last man in the entire world Maria should be with. He's a dark, gritty, lawless bounty hunter—the exact opposite of the man she loved and lost, the man who gave up everything for her. Only Elijah is not the type of guy to back down. He's used to getting what he wants and he's set his sights on the raven-haired seductress.
Time is not on Maria and Elijah's side. There's a new threat to the soul sister, one Maria never thought she'd have to face again. And this time, the stakes are life and death.
Maria quickly learns that the things she wants most in this lifetime may just be the things that have the power to destroy her.

Fate (Trinity Series #5)
Not many can say they were burned by fate. I'm the exception.
Scalded figuratively, emotionally, and physically… I have the scars running down my arm, ribs, and side to prove it.
The doctors have done what they can to heal me by smoothing the abraded skin using other parts of my body. But they can only do so much. Sometimes, what can't be seen can't be healed.
The fire that night took more than a pound of flesh. It obliterated my talent, beauty, and most importantly, seared the connection I had with the man I loved. Sure, it was me who pushed him away, but I had my reasons. I did what any woman would do in my situation. I gave up everything so that one day he'd find happiness and peace.
Now I've healed a bit on the outside, and on the inside, but I still crave the one I let go. To this day he looks at me with fire in his eyes, a heat so bright in his being he glows with it. I fear the light, the flames that could consume me whole. The problem now is, he's not mine anymore. I just may have waited too long to fight for him, for us, for a future together.
There's only one thing I can do. Let fate decide.

When an Ivy League girl falls for a guy from the wrong side of the tracks, all the cards are stacked against them except one. Patrick Cobbs has just graduated his BUD/S training. His father's a drunk; his family is poor. He has nothing to offer Marg except the man he wants to become.
Pat's the last guy Marg's anti-military parents want for their daughter. With her grandfather's name etched on the Wall of the Fallen, Marg's father will do anything to keep them apart. Only one person believes in them, and he's dead.
"Are you going to kiss me good night?" Marg's voice held a haughty little tone.
He bowed his head and chuckled. "No." Teasing her was too much fun, and he waited to see her reaction.
"Fine," she quipped and tipped her shoulder. "Bruce did."
Oh man, oh man. He torqued his brow. "There's a difference between me and him, Marg."
She cocked her head. "And that is?"
"When I kiss you for the first time, it'll be on my terms when you least expect it."
She clutched her palms together. "I might not feel like kissing you then, Patrick Cobbs. Sure you want to take that chance?"
He chuckled again. Relaxed and straddling his bike, he gazed at her. Smart and beautiful. Most guys would think he was off his rock, tempting fate or her ire. "I'll take that chance. Let's do things the old-fashioned way."
"You make me nuts," she finally blurted.
An honest laugh erupted from his chest, seeing he was twisting her into a ball of crazy. "This is good training for you, Miss Stines."
"How?" she barked at him. Her brow squished together.
"Although you say you don't want to live the life of luxury, I think you're used to getting what you want."
Her knuckles collided with her waist. "Are you calling me spoiled?"
She took a quick step toward him and leaned over. Within an inch of his mouth, her voice slipped into a silky timbre. "No, SEAL, I'm not. You can keep your kisses. I don't want—"
Execute. His hands palmed her cheeks and his mouth powered down on hers. Every ounce of blood rushed from his head to his heart. Her gorgeous body melted against his, submitting. Holy God in heaven! He'd been right. Kissing this woman coiled his lust tight.
Their kiss blazed and then ended with a slow burn before he gently pulled away. The corner of his mouth curved. "See you Friday." He kick-started the engine to life.
"Friday…" she said meekly, gazing at him, still stunned.
He winked at her. Before his lust started talking him into screwing up the start to something incredible, he wheeled around the fountain and rode away.

Natasza grew up on the beautiful West Coast of British Columbia with the Pacific Ocean on her western doorstep, and thousands of acres of forest on the other. After finishing school, her life took a drastic twist, and a lifelong working relationship with the marine industry began.
After a twenty-year hiatus from creative writing, the stories swirling in her mind began to swim hard to resurface, and she threw them a life ring. She juggles words during her days off, and then gets back down to business, working as an officer in the Coast Guard. Her life is a mix of creativity vs. black and white procedures. With a lifetime of working in the marine community, there's plenty of stories to tell. It's a different world, different language, unsung heroes and heroines aplenty, heated moments, and blissful silence when all is well. Reading and writing is the way she turns down the loud hum that work causes, and after thirty years of humming, it's time to vent.

Finding Nirvana By Kylie Hillman ♥ Release Blitz
Title: Finding Nirvana (Black Shamrocks MC, #5)
Author: Kylie Hillman
It's said that only in our darkest hour do we find light. That may be true for the lucky ones. When your light has been extinguished and pitch-black bleakness has taken hold, you could be excused for doubting that it can it ever be reignited.
In the past when people mentioned Joel O'Brien, they talked about "the quiet one". The boy who was the family's voice of reason and their go-to guy for wisdom well beyond his years. Nowadays, they whisper about the "crippled one". The man who radiates darkness, who wallows in his self-pity, and refuses to find a way to deal with the injuries he sustained during the war that threatened to engulf the Black Shamrocks MC.
Sascha Koswalski is the light of her family's life. With a smile that could brighten the day of the most hard-hearted, the single mother uses her innate exuberance to help lessen the pain that afflicts her physiotherapy patients. She's yet to have a patient who doesn't respond to her sunny nature and skilled hands.
Until Joel. The stubborn, angry man might be the one patient she fails. Unable to crack his protective shell, Sascha is on the verge of giving up when Joel saves her from a life-threatening situation. Buoyed by the knowledge that there is a man filled with hope hiding underneath his cold veneer, can the physiotherapist rehabilitate more than his broken body? Will she be the light that reignites his belief in himself and sets them both on the path to FINDING NIRVANA?

The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), SBID member, launched the first Wood Stock Design Competition at Maison & Objet in Paris. Thousands of visitors admired the 15 shortlisted entries which were manufactured into prototypes or scale models in American hardwood. The quality of the entries was exceptionally high and the jury members were extremely impressed by the talent of the young designers and architects from France and Belgium.
AHEC launched the Wood Stock Design Competition to encourage young professionals and graduates to explore the use of American hardwoods in design. As natural and sustainable materials, hardwoods have many different physical and mechanical properties, so understanding wood as a material is crucial in order to use it to its maximum potential in design.
In May 2011, the jury selected 15 projects to be manufactured into prototypes or scale models. Over the summer, the entrants worked with the selected manufacturer (La Fabrique) and model maker (Ray Winder), to develop their designs and the final work was exhibited at Maison & Objet last week. The jury was chaired by Christian Liaigre, interior designer and CEO of Maison Liaigre whose elegant designs have made his company one of the top French luxury brands at export level. He was joined by leading architect Philippe Chaix, designer Guillaume Delvigne, deputy chief editor of the architectural magazine AMC Catherine Pierre, and French organisations in the timber industry CNDB and FCBA.
This first category, open only to student applicants, focussed on stand-alone product or furniture design. Students were given a brief of 'urban design' which could link to communication tools such as mobile phones and laptops, but this was just a starting point and not obligatory. The judges looked in particular for creativity and innovative design. The designs needed to be usable, both aesthetically and technically, and the students were expected to consider how easily the product could be manufactured, taking eco-design considerations into account.
The judges were extremely impressed by the commercial feasibility of this piece. Potentially available in different sizes and colours, 'Tandem' reflects today's way of working on the move with portable devices. 'Tandem' would work well for instance in a home environment, but also in public places such as an airport lounge. This lively piece also won the public vote with 35% of votes. The piece designed in American white oak shows off the grain and texture of the wood with its solid top and revolving table. The base of the seat and the rims on which the shelf revolves are made in aluminium to provide the required strength whist keeping the shelf lightweight and streamline.
The judges also highly commended 'Claustra' designed by Manon Malatray. An innovative piece, this design combines a coat stand with a room divider. 'Claustra' takes advantage of red oak's excellent steam bending properties allowing a sharp curve in many of the elements.
The second category challenged students and graduates to design a functional interior structure which provides spatial organisation. The judges were looking for a creative approach to this open brief. The space must be comfortable and practical and should take advantage of the decorative quality of American hardwoods. The design should be adaptable for use in different environments.
A reception desk designed for a school, this entry was a perfect fit with the brief to organise a space. Reminiscent of work by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the judges prised the repetitive use of squares and cut outs creating shadows which indicate to the school students whether the reception was open or closed. The contrast of wood species chosen creates interesting patterns with the light American tulipwood against dark American walnut.
The judges were also very impressed by 'Hearth', a project designed by Belgian students Pieter Vanderhenst and Mathias De Ferm. One of the modules of Hearth was manufactured by the students and displayed at the exhibition. American white oak was specified so the piece would be suitable for exterior use. The judges were attracted to the Moroccan inspired design and liked the piece as an individual module as well as the shapes that the modules can collectively create.
The third category tested the applicants' architectural skills by asking them to design an extension or renovation to an existing building. Judges looked in particular for creativity, and for the relevance of the design to the existing building and its surroundings. Technically, the choice of species was crucial for the design's practicality and entrants were asked to provide detailed drawings to demonstrate the long-term workability of the design.
The innovative wooden cube structure is moveable creating an intimate and warm environment in the winter months, but can slide back to allow sunlight into the conservatory area in the summer months. The cladding in American ash is contrasted by the darker foldable seats in American gum. The judges were impressed by simplicity and workability of this very original design.
AHEC's affiliation with design and architectural schools across Europe is stronger than ever. Students are the key decision makers in future design and architecture and AHEC is working to ensure the hardwood message is included in school curriculums. AHEC is currently investing in an extensive LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) Study for the U.S. hardwood industry, which puts science at the heart of the green building debate. With a growing trend towards 'green' design, it is essential that architects and designers are provided with peer reviewed data to allow them to make fair comparisons when specifying materials. AHEC will continue to invest in educative projects and competitions with students across Europe in wp-content/2012.

Plymtree is a small village and civil parish about 3.5 miles south of the town of Cullompton in the county of Devon, England. The parish is surrounded, clockwise from the north, by the parishes of Broadhembury, Payhembury, Clyst Hydon and Cullompton. In 2001 it had a population of 605, compared to 359 in 1901. The village website provides up to date information about local events http://www.plymtree.org.uk/

The village has a public house called The Blacksmith Arms and a Church of England primary school (https://plymtree-primary.devon.sch.uk/devon/primary/plymtree) which is part of the Culm Valley Federation with Kentisbeare and Culmstock Schools. There is a small  community run village shop and post office, a village hall, playground and recreation field. The yearly country fayre is held on the August Bank Holiday which raises funds for the Village Hall and local Riding for the Disabled Group. It has a cricket club and tennis court.

Parish church
St John the Baptist's church is medieval; the tower and the south aisle are Perpendicular but the nave and chancel are older. The rood screen is a splendid example and exceptionally well preserved. It incorporates emblems which indicate that it was given by Isabel widow of Humphrey Stafford, Earl of Devon, who was beheaded in 1469. The wainscoting is painted with figures but they are not of high aesthetic value. There is a small alabaster relief of the Resurrection of Christ which is Flemish work of about 1600.
In the churchyard of St John the Baptist's church is a historic yew tree.

The first known English personification of Christmas was associated with merry-making, singing and drinking. A carol attributed to Richard Smart, Rector of Plymtree from 1435 to 1477, has 'Sir Christemas' announcing the news of Christ's birth and encouraging his listeners to drink: "Buvez bien par toute la compagnie, / Make good cheer and be right merry, / And sing with us now joyfully: Nowell, nowell."

Notable people
In 1832 Joseph Dornford was presented by his Oxford college to the rectory of Plymtree, and in 1847 he was collated by Henry Phillpotts a prebendary of Exeter Cathedral. He died at Plymtree on 18 January 1868, aged 74.

Historic estates
The parish of Plymtree contains various historic estates including:
Fordmore, anciently Ford's Moore, from before 1161 to 1702 the seat of the at Ford (later "Ford") family.
Plymtree Manor.
Woodbeer Court.

This session is our shortest designed to support Junior Girl Scouts in completing their HORSEBACK RIDING BADGE. In Pony Palooza you'll ride, care for your horses, learn about horse nutrition, horse careers, and basic horse first aid. There's also time both days to try out other camp activities as well!


This game is called 3-Man. You need a couple dice and 3 or more people. It's pretty simple and is similar to other drinking games. Roll the dice and you do these options.
The first person to roll a 3 (or value of 3, like a 2 & 1) is declaired 3-Man. The person must drink everytime a 3 (or value of 3) is rolled. He is 3-Man until they roll a 3 on their turn. When they do, they can assign 3-Man to anyone they chose playing the game.
Anything equaling 9 is sociables (when everyone drinks), or a shot is taken by whom ever rolls 9, or we've done catagories where the person who rolled picks a catagory (ie: brands of beer, Bud, Canadian, Pilsner). A person drinks when they are left stumped. We've found this takes to long and not enough drinking is being done and you have to think. So we like to play with the sociable option. Of course, which option is used is decided before the game begins.
The roller keeps rolling until they get nothing. ie: a 4 & 2 or 6 & 4 ... When they get nothing they pass the dice to the left.
Double 3's means the roller gives 3 drinks (for rolling doubles) and 3-Man drinks twice.
If the a 4 & 3 are rolled 3-Man drinks and the person to the left for equaling 7. Get it?
The more people playing the longer 3-Man has to stay 3-Man. 3-Man can't leave the game until he gives 3-Man away.

As it's a one-chassis design the construction was as easy as possible. Although i've left a little space beneath at the bottom for future activation using a small (class-d?) amp. The MDF Cases were veneered using quality Teak-veneer and then etched: Front dark reddish-brown, Rest dark black. Oiled (using maple oil) and sanded multiple times up to 600Grit they have a wonderful feel to them.
All in all it was really worth the building time. The part that took longest was – as always -the finishing, but it was worth the nice looks and good fit into the existing cupboard-system.

Atheists should respect the historical role that the Bible has played as the first step towards the technology that we have today.
...I think it is generally acknowledged that post-modernism is in retreat since the heydays of the liberationists in the 60's and 70's. But what now? Beware the pendulum returns!
Gathering on the far horizon are the ultra conservative creationists and the fundamentalists. Are we to defend traditions of moral imperatives from liberal or conservative? To be forewarned is to be forearmed!
The author wrote: "This year is an opportune time for we in the English-speaking world to recognise this breakthrough"
We is the object of the preposition, for. It should be: "This year is an opportune time for us in the English-speaking world to recognise this breakthrough"
Protestant Bible? I have a Bible taken from a hotel room. It has 1217 pages. The New Testament starts on page 929. It really is the Jewish Bible with a Christian addendum.
The author wrote: "The movie Gods and Generals was set in the American Civil War. I was affected by this fine movie. It reminded me of the extent that the influence the Bible had on the people of that era. In the movie the marriage of General Thomas Jackson had in it three individuals - the man, the woman and God."
General Jackson was a religious man who fought for slavery. Biblical influence justified slavery. "The Arrogance of Faith" tells how the slavers got their inspiration and justification from scripture.
I'd better start with the self flagellation then, here's me thinking that we owe respect to many early cultures such as the Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians, Chinese and many, many more.
What a shame many Christians are unable, today, to understand even the most basic understanding of how science works.
All done under the aegis and inherently bloody imperative of Constantine's sword.
As I have mentioned before this image is featured in The Pentagon of Power by Lewis Mumford. A book which describes the historical developments of the Western drive to gain total power and control over every one and every thing. And which describes the multitude of incremental factors that created what Mumford called the Invisible Mega-Machine, or the archetypal pattern, or the "culture" of death, that now patterns the entire world. And which describes the changing historical manifestations of the Mega-Machine.
The Mega-Machine really took off in a big-time way after the European Renaissance and the emergence of powerful new technologies which also gave the always essential PSYCHOTIC Western man the technological means to conquer the world with his MAXIM guns.
Beginning with the European Renaissance Protestant Christian-ISM arose simultaneously with the "culture" formed in the image of scientism. Which is to say that it was the other ("religious") side of the same reductionist coin that mis-informed scientism.
"From 313, when the Roman emperor Constantine opened the gate to an explosive expansion of Christianity, the church had evolved into a type of state. It was a huge bureaucratic organisation ruled by a king-like figure in the pope".
One of the first things it did was to shut down education, burn libraries and even stopped the children of slaves from learning to read.
Most of those monks who illuminated and hand-copied the Bible during the Dark Ages were in fact illiterate.
The notion that information was power persisted for centuries and progress was made in spite of - not because of the Bible.
The assumption that the United States was founded on the basis of religion is fanciful nonsense, a myth created after the fact.
"What Hiroshima owes to the pope."
"What Laika owes to the pilgrims."
"What Benjamin Franklin owes to a german printing press."
Conversely one could link the invention of the wheel to the absence of the protestant bible.

Why does Apple want to start making paper bags?
Apple will manufacture its own paper bags. Image from Wikipedia.
Apple filed its 'Bag' patent in March
U.S. Cupertino, Calif. – Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is not satisfied with their strong presence in computer, telecommunications and music markets. The tech company is taking a step back from all the technology to make a rather different product: eco-friendly paper bags.
The company designed a new model for the retail shopping bag and is trying to register it simply as "Bag." The US Patent & Trademark Office recently released the patent document Apple filed in March. The record reveals it is made with at least 60 percent recycled materials.
Apple sustains the "Bag" allows to include a greater percentage of recycled material in its construction than other similar products, so it should reduce the environmental impact of the mass production and disposal of regular paper bags.
What is going to be different about Apple's paper bag?
U.S. laws require that retail store bags have around 40 to 50 percent recycled paper -the number varies in each state. The Bag from Apple will push the proportion of post-consumer waste even further.
In the patent, the company outlines why their kit is superior to others. The application for the "Bag" summarizes as follows:"A paper bag is disclosed. The paper bag may include a bag container formed of white solid bleached sulfate paper with at least 60 % post-consumer content."
Apple's patent for a new eco-friendly paper bag. Image credit: RT International.
The eco-friendly "Bag," however, will maintain the classical style of their stores' bags: a white bag made of bleached sulfate paper with the gray logo of the Silicon Valley giant front and center. In that regard, the company assures their new design provides a "sophisticated fit and finish" compared to the "rough and dull fit and finish" of craft paper bags.
Apple will also reinforce the materials to make it sturdier. The designers assure they can strengthen the weak points with stronger folded paper to keep it from tearing apart. The problem of creating useful paper bags is that recycled materials often form weak containers, but Apple believes they have solved this issue.
Apple hands out thousands of bags each day to deliver their products to their clients, so their eco-friendly approach could make a difference.

Domino's Launches New Delivery Car With a Built-in Oven
Who doesn't love pizza right? Thin crust, thick crust, cheese burst and deep dish, we're all fans. So when avid pizza lovers hear 'Domino's', you most often than not get squeamish responses. An experienced pizza fan would think of Domino's as the last option because it seems to have lost its A game. This little experiment however, will make you take notice of this old pizza chain.
Domino's has tried innovative ways to try and get their customers to order pizza. From ordering with the help of a pizza emoji, to even a Siri-like assistant helping you out in their mobile app. They've done it all. However, they just went a [...]
Here's How Facebook is Set to Kickstart Your Programming Career
Facebook initially started with the likes of Orkut and Twitter but has expanded its horizons further. Stepping out of the safety net of being the world's largest social networking site, it has now gone a step further and introduced TechPrep. What's that?
It is a new initiative with consulting mogul, McKinsey & Company that will help people by offering tutorials, tools and games to help kids kickstart their careers in Computer Programming. Sounds heavy, doesn't it? But the whole point of this initiative is to reach out to children and parents all over who don't have the resources to educate them in Programming.

iPhone 6s Gets a Lukewarm Welcome in India
We reported how the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were getting phenomenal amounts of preorders in the USA, but the Apple wonder seems to have left its sparkle in America itself. India hasn't taken to the iPhones too well as the opening weekend response has been tepid.
The devices managed to sell only 50,000 units out of a total of 165,000 (which is thrice the amount that was available last year).
The phones were launched in India on October 16th and it is highly likely that customers are either waiting for the price slash or it could also be because [...]
Battery Management Lessons for iPhone users
It is a well known fact that we consider the iPhone as an amazing development made in technology, but it often becomes a slab of glass and metal once it's drained out of battery.
And as irritating as it gets when we run out of battery, there are some easy ways of extending its battery for a while longer.
Here are some simple tricks and tips for iPhone users fed up with their phone's battery:
Low Power Mode
The recent introduction of iOS 9 came with a special feature of a power saving mode. This update warns you with a message when your [...]
With This Move, There's No Doubt Samsung is "Inspired" by Apple
We often tend to treat Apple vs Samsung a little like Congress vs BJP or India vs Pakistan (you decide which is which), because we see the companies themselves, bickering about who is copying whom and why one is better than the other. Well, this time, it's 10 points to Apple.
Apple and Samsung now have devices in identical colours
Apple has emerged a winner in the recent blame game battle as Samsung is coming out with a 'Pink Gold' colour variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. We aren't extremely surprised by this decision because the [...]
We Can Expect to See Android Marshmallow 6.0 on the LG G4 Soon
A report has confirmed that LG will begin to roll out the highly awaited Android M 6.0 in the G4, in the coming week. Rejoicing? Hold on. They plan to do this only in Poland though and then roll out the update to other countries.
LG marketing, VP Chris Yie said in a statement:
"By working closely with Google, LG has been able to bring Android 6.0 to the G4 ahead of any of our competitors,"
Unveiled back in April, the latest flagship from LG's stable, LG G4, is available with a price tag of Rs. 41,500 in India. One of the most highlighted features of the device is [...]
Apple Announces New iMacs, Including the Awaited 21.5-inch 4K Model
Apple wowed us with their event back in September and kept the suspense alive as they remained tight lipped about the iMacs that were not released at the time. Well, the wait is over and they are here! Apple launched its new Retina 4K display for the 21.5-inch iMac and a 5K display for the 27-inch iMac in California, today.
The much anticipated display makes photos and videos even more crystal clear than they were in the pervious iMacs. The exterior of the iMacs sport Thunderbolt 2 ports and more storage options that makes the desktop look promising.
In addition to this, Apple also announced a number of wireless accessories like the Magic keyboard 2, Magic Mouse [...]
Asus to 'Make in India' Smartphones by Partnering With Foxconn
In line with the enthusiastic 'Make in India' initiative that was kickstarted by Narendra Modi in September 2014, the latest to join the bandwagon is Asus. The Taiwanese Smartphone manufacturer has declared that they will start manufacturing smartphones locally, in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.
This is a great move by the company as it will christen them into the highly competitive Indian Smartphone market. They ambitiously aim to produce 1.5 lakh phones by the end of this financial year, thereby contributing to 80% of the sales in India, as per reports.
Asus India Country [...]
Unboxing and Hands On With the Samsung Galaxy Note 5
Touted as one of Samsung's high-end phones which could give the iPhone some competition, the Galaxy Note 5 was grandly launched last month in New York. Packed with an S-pen and other features, the price of this phablet had been announced in India at Rs.53,900.
The Note 5 runs on the Android OS, v5.1.1 (Lollipop) with an Exynos 7420 chipset, a Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57 CPU and a Mali-T760MP8 GPU. As far as storage capacity is concerned, this handset comes in two variants – 32 and 64 GB along with 4GB of RAM. However, it does not have an expandable [...]
Moto X Style to Come to India Soon
We saw the arrival of the awesome Moto X Play that was unveiled yesterday, and now it's time for more good news. Our readers had asked us when the Style is going to hit Indian markets and we now have an answer.
The Moto X Style is set to test Indian markets by the second week of October, as per reliable sources. No more details about the device have been revealed but if rumours are to be believed, the Style will definitely fit in the same price bracket as the OnePlus 2.
October is just two weeks away so we won't have to wait long for yet another Motorola phenomena that [...]
iPhone 6s and 6s Plus RAM Revealed
Apple received guffaws and wow's at their launch event last week but they very smartly didn't reveal the battery life or RAM of their most anticipated devices; the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Naturally then, when the battery life was announced, the tech mogul received a lot of flak for its 1715 mAh battery fail, with the likes of Sony using it as an opportunity to ridicule it.
However, Apple is set to have the last laugh with iOS developer, Hamza Sood, announcing that this time, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will have 2GB of RAM. While this might not be at par with the Galaxy S6 (3GB RAM) or the Galaxy Note 5 (4GB [...]

Within the walls of the Stage 1 Company Store are a multitude of gags, props, and scenery relating to those wild and crazy guys and gals, the Muppets. This, I'm sure, comes as no surprise to anyone, and if you are surprised, then what are you waiting for?!?! Get in there and soak up some of the Muppet goodness! One of my favorite Stage 1 Company Store sits above the guests keys of the Happiness Hotel registration desk.
So that means that if you check in to the Happiness Hotel and in end up stuck in the wall of your room waiting on the cleaning crew to let you out, well, you only have yourself to blame. You were warned.


As a Director of Patient Accounts, there are many challenges in today's economic climate, and one of them might include prompt or timely payment by insurance companies and/or patients. The inefficiency that exists in these processes is staggering due to the number of computer and non-computer generated documents that must come together from diverse locations and be reconciled before a check can be issued by the insurance company or patient.
Historically, requests for a UB04, itemized bill, copy of an insurance card, information in the admission packet, EOB, or a copy of a check required time and labor-intensive research of paper document files. Once the target documents were located, there was the additional time and cost of forwarding copies to the person making the request to finalize outstanding payment resolution issues.
Today, a much-improved method is available: converting all documents to a digital format and storing them either on your network, securely on your intranet, or our web server with your own hospital's look and feel. This exciting service is called DTI ACCESSPoint, and many hospitals just like yours are enjoying the benefits that this process provides.
Our clients are sharing with us that they are seeing improvements in both operational efficiencies and increase in productivity of greater than 30%.
They are able to gain immediate access to all of their documents, and are then able to view them, print them, or even email them to the patient or insurance company, all right from their desktop.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of a myriad of insidious and intractable infections in humans, especially in patients with compromised immune systems and children. Here, we report the apo- and CoA-bound crystal structures of a member of the galactoside acetyltransferase superfamily from methicillin-resistant S. aureus SACOL2570 which was recently shown to be down regulated in S. aureus grown in the presence of fusidic acid, an antibiotic used to treat MRSA infections. SACOL2570 forms a homotrimer in solution, as confirmed by small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering. The protein subunit consists of an N-terminal alpha-helical domain connected to a C-terminal LβH domain. CoA binds in the active site formed by the residues from adjacent LβH domains. After determination of CoA-bound structure, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to model the binding of AcCoA. Binding of both AcCoA and CoA to SACOL2570 was verified by isothermal titration calorimetry. SACOL2570 most likely acts as an acetyltransferase, using AcCoA as an acetyl group donor and an as-yet-undetermined chemical moiety as an acceptor. SACOL2570 was recently used as a scaffold for mutations that lead the generation of cage-like assemblies, and has the potential to be used for the generation of more complex nanostructures.

@Delectable Wine this is Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils, diff winery.
Gorgeous nose. Big mineral. Big oyster shells and perfume. A sense of richness and ripeness. But classic as Chablis gets. Palate is intense and electric with wonderful purity and freshness. Loads of acidity and minerals to burn. Very long. Good material here and ideally is better in 2-3 years.
Crisp acidity and luscious citrus fruit on the long finish. Bought from Fass Selections. Sliding my other bottle deeper into the cellar for another year or two.
When the price of this doubles in a few years grown men and women will be weeping that they didn't buy more. Myself included. Explosive fruit and minerality. More than enough balancing acidity for the 15 acidity alarmists. As this opens it has palate expansiveness. My gut is that this will improve with more age. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. Ok an hour in this is killing it. Profound wine.

Johns Hopkins University astrophysicist Charles Bennett and two colleagues today were awarded this year's $1 million Shaw Prize in astronomy for groundbreaking research that has helped determine the precise age, composition and curvature of the universe.
Bennett was cited for his accomplishments as principal investigator of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, a spacecraft which in less than a decade has added significantly to our knowledge of the universe's history and structure. WMAP, launched in 2001, observes and measures the cosmic background radiation, the oldest light in the universe.
Bennett and his colleagues, both from Princeton University, will accept the award in a ceremony Sept. 28 in Hong Kong. Sometimes referred to as the "Nobel Prize of the East," the Shaw Prize was established by Run Run Shaw, a philanthropist and longtime leader in the Hong Kong film and television industry. It has been awarded annually since 2002 in three fields: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences.
Bennett is the second Johns Hopkins researcher to win a Shaw Prize in the seven-year existence of the award. Adam Riess, like Bennett a member of the Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy in the university's Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, was a co-winner in 2006 for the discovery of dark energy.
Co-winners of the 2010 astronomy prize with Bennett are Princeton astrophysicists David Spergel and Lyman Page, both members of the WMAP team.
In 2003, Bennett and the WMAP team made international news with their announcement that the universe is 13.7 billion years old and is constituted of less than 5 percent atoms, one quarter dark matter and nearly three-quarters a mysterious, dark energy. WMAP's results also support the view that the cosmos grew from subatomic size to astronomical scale in less time than it takes to blink your eye. Bennett's team has continued to make headlines in the years since, as these conclusions were further bolstered with more data. In 2009, WMAP reports were the most cited scientific papers in the world.
WMAP was Science magazine's "breakthrough of the year" in 2003.
Bennett previously served as deputy principal investigator on NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer satellite, which was launched in 1989 and which provided evidence in support of the big bang theory.
In addition to the Shaw Prize, Bennett won the Comstock Prize in Physics in 2009, the Harvey Prize by the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 2006 and the Henry Draper Medal of the National Academy of Sciences in 2005. In 2006, he also shared the Peter Gruber Foundation's Cosmology Prize with Nobel laureate John Mather, also of the COBE team.
Bennett was elected to the National Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2004 and the National Academy of Sciences in 2005. He received two NASA Exceptional Achievement medals and a NASA Outstanding Leadership medal. He is a fellow of both the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Digital photos of Bennett are available. Contact the Office of News & Information at 443-287-9960.
