OPENING FIVE
1. The Cougars host No. 6/8 Arizona Thursday, Jan. 24, at Beasley Coliseum in Pullman, Wash. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. with coverage on FS1. WSU is looking for its first sweep of the Tucson program since the 2009-2010 season after beating then-No. 5/4 Wildcats in Arizona, Jan. 7, 74-61. Mouhamed Gueye finished with a 24-and-14 double-double. Jabe Mullins, Justin Powell, and DJ Rodman all scored in double figures and the Cougars snapped UofA's 28-game home-winning streak. Asuolas Tubelis went for 29 points and 14 rebounds in the loss.
2. Last time out, Washington State fell in a 55-58 heartbreaker in Boulder Sunday afternoon. Colorado's KJ Simpson hit a straight-away three with 4.8 seconds left to take the lead and TJ Bamba's last-second shot missed off the backiron. Bamba scored 18 points in the loss, 14 coming in the second half. Andrej Jakimovski added 12 points, a team-high seven rebounds, and two steals Mouhamed Gueye played just 20 minutes with foul trouble and minor hamstring injury and did not score for just the second time in his career.
3. The Cougars average 8.6 made 3-point field goals per game, more than any other team in the Pac-12 (12th in major conferences). WSU leads the Conference in 3-point percentage at 36.1%. Individually, Jabe Mullins leads the Pac-12 Conference with a 47.1% (40-of-85) clip from beyond the arc. Against Detroit Mercy, Nov. 25, the Cougars set a school record with 19 made 3s, including six from Mullins. Eight times this season WSU has made 10+ threes.
4. TJ Bamba returned from a three-game absence with injury and scored a team-high 18 points in WSU's loss at Colorado. Bamba has emerged as Wazzu's leading scorer at 15.2 points per game, ninth in the Conference. Bamba has scored in double figures 14 times this season, including three games with 20+ points. Against Boise State, Nov. 12, Bamba scored a career-high 24 points – the first 20-point game of his career.
5. Justin Powell averages 2.95 assists per game with a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio. Powell's distribution rate ranks 12th in the Pac-12. Nine times this season Powell has not…

UPDATE: This week-long sale is now over.
The national retail chain Radio Shack is having a special sale this week that cuts $30 off the price of all its AT&T iPhone models. This is most unusual — Apple's smartphones are almost never available at a discount.
The iPhone 4S (16GB) normally sells for $200, but this retailer now has it for $170. Last years iPhone 4 regularly goes for $100, but it's now $70, thanks to this special deal. The iPhone 4S (32GB) is temprarly priced at $270, and the iPhone 4S (64GB) is $370.
These prices are available only on AT&T's versions of these devices and only at Radio Shack stores. The Verizon and Sprint versions are selling at their regular prices, and this retailer doesn't sell Apple smartphones on its website. The sale will last from today through Saturday, Dec. 17.
The newest smartphone from Apple includes a 1GHz dual-core processor, up from the 1GHz single-core chip in its predecessor. Also on the improvements list is an 8MP camera, while the previous model has a 5 MP one. Otherwise the new and old models are practically identical, including a 3.5-inch, 960 x 640 touchscreen.

116P/Wild 4
Copyright © 1997 by Akimasa Nakamura (Kuma Kogen Astronomical Observatory, Japan)
This CCD image was taken on 1997 May 31.7, using a 0.60-m f/6.0 Ritchey-Chretien telescope.
Paul Wild (Astronomical Institute, Berne University, Switzerland) on 1990 January 21.98 at a position of RA=9h 34m 31.69s, DEC=+20° 39' 39.5" (1950.0). He described the comet as strongly condensed, with a total magnitude of 13.5-14.0. There was a fan-shaped tail extending about one arc minute toward the northwest.
B. G. Marsden (Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams) announced on IAU Circular 4956 (dated 1990 January 31) that the comet's orbit was of short period. He used 15 positions obtained during the period of 1990 January 21-26 and determined the perihelion date as 1990 July 4, the perihelion distance as 1.950 AU, and the orbital period as 6.25 years.
A later revised orbit by Wild indicated the comet passed close to Jupiter during 1987 July. The result was the semimajor axis changing from 4.6 to 3.4 and the eccentricity changing from 0.17 to 0.41.
The comet's maximum magnitude was consistently estimated as about 12. Because of the large perihelion distance, this value remained virtually unchanged from about late February until late April 1990.
The comet's second appearance began on 1994 November 9.4, when it was recovered by J. V. Scotti (Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, Arizona, USA). The comet's image was then indistinguishable from that of a star and Scotti estimated the magnitude as 20.4-20.7. The position indicated the predicted orbit needed a correction of -0.3 day. The comet steadily brightened as it approached its 1996 August 31 perihelion date. By the beginning of 1996 it was already brighter than magnitude 13. By summer it had reached a maximum brightness of 12, and then began a slow fading thereafter. The comet reached a minimum solar elongation of only 40' on October 30.
The comet next passed perihelion on 2003 January 21 and came within 1.29 AU of Earth during the first days of May of 2003. The comet was brightest during the period of April into early June, when the total magnitude was typically estimated within the range of 11.5 to 12. The coma was then 1-1.5 arc minute across.

Hawaii's Marine Aquarium Fishery Debate Moves Forward With Environmental Assessments
An aerial view of Kealakekua Bay, Big Island, Hawaii. Image Credit: Vlad Turchenko/Shutterstock
special commentary by Robert Likins, Vice President of Governmental Affairs, PIJAC, via Pet Product News & PIJAC
Since October 2017, Hawaii aquarium fishing industry permits have been suspended due to a ruling by the Hawaii Supreme Court that such permits require compliance with the Hawaii Environmental Protection Act (HEPA). This ruling, and subsequent regulatory decisions, caused the suspension of 233 fishing permits. This severely limited both the available aquarium fishing methods and employment in the Hawaii aquarium trade.
The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC) has been working with aquarium fishers to address the Supreme Court's ruling by developing documents that comply with HEPA. On April 8, the State of Hawaii published two Draft Environmental Assessments (DEAs) evaluating aquarium fishing on the islands of Oahu and Hawaii. The DEAs were created with input and data from the state, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and independent scientists. The DEAs conclude that the aquarium fisheries on these islands are environmentally sustainable and do not result in significant adverse impacts on local populations of fish in Hawaii.
As I told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald on Tuesday:
"We worked hard to find and consider all available data on the fishery so that the best science was involved in its preparation. We were unable to find any research which shows that the aquarium fishery is depleting the reefs, and two studies have concluded that the fishery has no significant impact on coral or the reef ecosystem."
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald also reported that:
The analysis found collection rates of less than 1 percent of the population of 37 of the allowed aquarium fish species and less than 5 percent of the other three species around Hawaii Island. Research suggests collection of between 5 percent and 25 percent is sustainable for the various reef species, the report says.
The public comment period to respond to the DEA ends on May 7. PIJAC urges everyone who has credible scientific data that could contribute to the thoroughness of the DEAs to submit it through the public comment process. For more information on this process, please visit the Hawaii Office of Environmental Quality Control's website.
Comments on the DEAs may be submitted to the following parties:
Department of Land and Natural Resources, attention David Sakoda, 587-0104, david.sakoda@hawaii.gov, 1151 Punchbowl St., Room 330, Honolulu, HI 96813.

'Cancer drug' hope for hepatitis B
A potential cure for hepatitis B using anti-cancer drugs.
Play videoLaunch Video
Dr Marc Pellegrini, Dr Greg Ebert and colleagues develop a new treatment to eliminate hepatitis B in collaboration with TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals, a biotech company based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, US.
The treatment uses TetraLogic Pharmaceutical's anti-cancer drug birinapant, which triggers the breakdown of proteins that prevent virus infected cells from self-destructing. Pellegrini says these proteins, known as 'inhibitors of apoptosis proteins' (IAPs), can be targeted to allow infected cells to die.
Stalled but not vanquished
As a medical student in the early 1990s, Pellegrini watched his fraternity grapple with emerging infections, especially HIV. The new combination of antiretroviral drugs was becoming available, but the optimism was soon tempered by the realisation that the virus could be stalled, but not vanquished.
"As we were going through all this it became clear that we couldn't cure people at all," recalls Pellegrini, senior researcher and clinician at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. "It made me interested in finding cures for all these infections for which we have medicines to control, but not cure the disease— infections that still cause morbidity."
After specialising in infectious diseases, completing his training at Melbourne's St Vincent's and Fairfield hospitals, he arrived at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute to undertake his PhD and tackle the problem from an innovative perspective.
Boost immunity to fight infections
Rather than attack the virus, Pellegrini seeks to boost the body's immune response. The common denominator in "overwhelming infections" such as HIV, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, the herpes virus and dengue fever is that the virus "commandeers all the machinery of a cell," wiping out the sophisticated defence mechanism that causes an infected cell to sacrifice itself for the greater good.
"Generally when a cell is invaded by a pathogen there's a safety switch that recognises that abnormality," Pellegrini explains. "And this switch causes the cell to commit suicide altruistically to protect the whole body. The reason we don't get cancer more regularly is that, for the most part, this innate program works.
"HIV, for instance, takes up residence in a T cell (a type of white blood cell) and takes over the machinery in a way that mimics the cancer cell. The cell is highly abnormal— but in HIV the abnormality isn't recognised so the cell survives."
Cell life and death
Pellegrini embarked on his PhD at a time when "huge groups were being set up looking at the processes that dictate whether a cell responds to the external environment – how cells survive and how they die". He joined one such group, the Molecular Genetics of Cancer division, working under Professors Andreas Strasser, Jerry Adams and Suzanne Cory.
After his PhD, Pellegrini's postdoctoral work took him to the Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research in Toronto where he further explored the question of how to 'convince' abnormal cells to commit suicide. On his return to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in 2009, he set up a new lab with a new team to study human infections according to this new paradigm.
Convincing abnormal cells to self-destruct
Rather than finding agents or antibiotics to target bugs only to see those bugs "adapt reasonably successfully" and become resistant to the drugs, the aim was to convince abnormal cells to self-destruct so the bugs have no comeback. The task is to 'repurpose' cancer drugs to combat infectious diseases.
Seven years on Pellegrini can point to several new discoveries. Most significantly, a drug therapy that successfully targeted the hepatitis B virus in preclinical trials progressed to human phase 1 trials in October 2014
"To get from a very basic problem or question to a clinical trial in four years was really exciting and unusual," Pellegrini reflects. He attributes his success partly to the institute's culture of collaboration across research divisions and its established contacts with pharmaceutical companies.
For now, the biggest challenge – aside from convincing pharmaceutical companies to fill the gaps in medical research funding – is getting clinicians to support the trials and progress them further.
"Traditionally there's been a divide in Australia between doctors and scientists. They don't speak the same language. But I'm both – a researcher and a clinician. I speak both languages and I think that helps."

Janette Matt's lifelong passion for Mathematics commenced when she studied Mathematics at University, gaining first class honours and completing a Master's Thesis on the "Bellman Harris Age Dependent Branching Process", the branch of Mathematics that models the growth of cells in the human body. After many years in the academic environment of Monash University running tutorials and lectures, Janette went into the business world and worked as a Mathematician in the oil industry. During her time there, she worked in Marketing, Corporate Planning and Strategy using Mathematics to minimise distribution costs and in Econometric modelling.
She started teaching after having her children building on her previous experience at the University where she developed a desire to help others see the beauty of Mathematics.
With experience as a Team Leader marking the Higher Level International Baccalaureate examinations, a VCAA assessor for Specialist Mathematics and currently the Assistant Chief Assessor for VCAA Specialist Mathematics Exam 2 she adds a wealth of knowledge to St Catherine's School.
"The most satisfying part of teaching Mathematics is to see the girls at the 'Aha' moment. That instant when Mathematics starts to make sense and they truly appreciate the subject. "This is one of the things that gratifies Janette's teaching career.


If you've ever tried to use vim and been deterred by the hideously steep learning curve, this book is for you. Painless Vim will help you get up to speed quickly and show you just how easy it is to learn vim, and how efficient you can be once you do.
Painless Vim is written by a professional developer who tried to learn vim a number of times before it finally stuck. I kept falling into the same cycle: I'd read a wide a array of books, online tutorials, print-outs, go through all their steps, and in the end get almost nowhere. Then I'd quietly go back to my editor of choice until next time I decided to try it out.
It wasn't until I started abusing the patience of a fellow developer who was a few months ahead of me on the vim learning curve that I came to finally understand how much power vim actually has to offer. He didn't try to tell me that I had to do everything "the vim way" or even that I had to give up my favorite editor. Instead he quietly and kindly gave me pointers that I could understand, advice I could appreciate, and encouragement to keep trying. With his help I was surprised how quickly I got comfortable with vim, and how much faster I've been ever since.
And now I want to pass that kind of learning along. Painless Vim starts with the understanding that you're an intelligent, busy person who has to get actual work done along with learning a new text editor. This book is designed to help you get comfortable with vim incrementally, without demanding that you toss your mouse out the window and disable all the keyboard shortcuts you've learned over the years. The goal is to introduce you to the 20% of vim that you'll use most often first, and give you pointers to the 80% you'll use less often when you're ready to explore.
Painless Vim is also designed to be short, easy to read, and inexpensive, so you can learn quickly and painlessly if vim is for you, without slogging through 500 pages or shelling out a ton of money just to go back to your editor of choice. I think you'll like this book, and I think that before too long you'll find that using vim is actually fun and that learning it was, well, painless.

I am creating this Tutorial as I start a new journey into learning more about Samba in Linux environment. Hopefully it would be useful for us as a simple guide :).
Note: I have doctored the actual IPaddr and Name.
--> change MYHOME to your desired workgroup name.
3. Checking available domains and workgroups visible on the current network.
--> Observation: Might need a restart: WORKGROUP name has not been changed. Quick check with Vista, WinXp and Win98 Guest OSes in Virtualbox also show the same observation.
A reboot fixed the issue and only MYHOME ROUTER line appears. Vista Network Neighbourhood detected the change almost immediately but WinXp and Win98 took awhile to update. However, all was as expected.
---> Update: 20111106 >> Well, we may also restart the samba services and wait for a couple of minutes for the changes to take effect.
Note: Please wait a couple of minutes for the changes to take effect before checking. Alternatively, you could try checking it immediately and a few minutes later again to experience the time lag.
4. Checking servers in this domain or workgroup.
--> Update: 20111106-1 >> Well, another observation regarding the 'findsmb' command: it only list out samba and win98 systems on the local subnet. It didnot show my WinXP and Vista though.
Note: Not too sure why MINT11B was listed twice here. Yes, LinuxMint for my children too.
5. Exposing Network Shares, including non Linux Samba share: checking on Windows share.
Note: MYHOME is the workgroup name. I have the same User and Password created on all the systems except Win98 which was using 'share-level' security instead of user-level. As such, the shares in the \\WIN98 system was throwing an error as shown above. NOT TOO SURE how Windows Administrators would feel about Samba exposing the C$ share in this command for all Linux's users to 'exploit': Those xyz$ shares are supposed to be hidden for administrative uses only.
That's all for now. Will update this with more as I progress.
guruwannabe	 I used the GUI in both Linux and Windows to create new users.
Padre_King	 What are the commands to create smb users?
If you edit this file then the NETBIOS and WORKGROUP "NAME" needs to be CAPITALIZED. I have seen issues with the file when it isn't done this way.


When you light this candle the delicate blend of essential oils will fill your home with an unforgettable, uplifting fragrance that you will want to experience again and again.
The gentle, floral aroma of Lily essential oil combines perfectly with the warm, subtle tang of spicy Ginger, sweet Clove, and the exotic fragrance of Jasmine to bring you a delightful sensory experience that is relaxing, calming and uplifting, filling the room with an unforgettable fragrance.
Packaged in a beautiful presentation box, our signature candle makes the perfect gift for a loved one, or a special, fragrant, indulgent little treat for just for you.
Hand poured in the UK, for quality assurance and reduced waste.
Each time you burn your candle make sure you trim the wick first. A trimmed wick gives you a cleaner brighter flame, and also prevents the black sooty stains that you see on the side of the jar.
We have all experienced candle tunnelling at some point, this is where the candle burns a hole down the middle leaving the majority of wax around the outside of the jar. This dramatically reduces the burn time of your candle. Some people are surprised to find out that this has nothing to do with the quality of the candle. It is all about the candles 'burn memory'.
The first burn is so important, and it is essential that you allow the area of melted wax (the melt pool) to reach the outside of the container. This involves leaving it to burn a little longer than you may wish to, but it so important if you want to make your candle last as long as possible. A good rule of thumb is to allow it to burn for 1 hour for every inch of the candle's diameter.


New Delhi: Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma on Tuesday rolled out an online portal to get a 'no objection certificate' (NOC) for construction related activities in the vicinity of protected monuments, in an attempt to streamline approval procedure.
"It (portal) will greatly add to the convenience of the people since they no longer need to run to local offices to get NOC for their property which is nearby monuments," Sharma said here at the launch function.
Applicants can now apply for NOC online and they will be provided a unique registration id with which they can check the status of their applications from time to time.
The online system, an initiative of the National Monument Authority, will automatically inform the applicant about the permissible height and other restrictions regarding the proposed construction activity.
The minister said the initiative would also help solve the problem of encroachments around the historic monuments protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
The mobile app would be launched shortly which would provide even greater convenience, he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Culture Secretary NK Sinha said the unique initiative would reduce the dependency of the people on administration. "This is a people's portal and its success will depend on the people's participation," he added.
The portal — NOC online application portal and processing system (NOAPS) — has utilized the technology and expertise of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) which are in the process of mapping all 3,886 ASI protected monuments.
The portal, which has been designed by National Informatics Centre (NIC), is available on www.nmanoc.nic.in.

SMS Backup + issue - Where are texts stored on the phone?
This is a weird issue. I'm running SMS Backup + and use it to backup and restore texts when flashing new versions of my favorite rom.
I went to do a restore and it only restored a handful of texts, saying the majority of the texts were duplicates.
Where are texts stored on the phone? I want to either delete them or make the phone see them.
Any help would be appreciated. Out of 4000+ texts, only 500 or so are restoring.
I thought SMS Backup + stored the back ups in your Gmail. I used to use that app, then I switched to GO SMS Pro which has a built in back up function (stores on your SD card).
They are backed up in Gmail. The issue is when I do a restore from SMS+, it tells me that all of the emails it just restored are duplicates.
That would imply that the app is finding those texts already in the memory of my phone. I'd need to either remove from my phone and let the app restore them, or get the phone to find all of the texts.
All was cool until the last time I flashed an update to a ROM.


Tile roofs require maintenance to ensure they protect your most valuable asset, your home and its possessions. The basic level of maintenance normally required eg; every five to ten years, is to the capping tiles along the ridge (top) and hips (sides/corners) of tile roofs. These capping tiles are secured by mortaring in place (called bedding) and then waterproofed and finished off (pointed) with a flexible compound.
Unfortunately tile roofing requires ongoing maintenance over its life (unlike new metal roofing) because the pointing tends to crack, crumble and dislodge just like rock or concrete weathers over time due to the detrimental effects of wind, rain and hail. Ongoing water penetration will then break down and loosen the bedding mortar which means the roof at this stage is not just no longer waterproof, loose ridge tiles are then prone to cracking and even slipping off the roof or blown off in a storm.
Other common and ongoing sources of leaking in tile roofs are from the tile clips and the valley gutters. Often the cut valley tiles will slip over time so that there are gaps between the tiles that allow rainwater to penetrate. Tile valleys are prone to back up and overflow as leaf and other debris accumulate. Waterproofing the valley or storm sealing with a bitumen impregnated foam rubber material is often reccommended.
Although sarking is now mandatory under all new tile roofing, many older tile roofs were installed without sarking so that any water penetrating the tiles or between the tiles or from under the capping tiles does not have a barrier to prevent water penetrating to the ceiling or being soaked up by bulk insulation such as batts or loose blow in cellulose products.
All these issues and the resultant damage can be avoided by regular maintenance of your tile roof by Residential Roofing Solutions.
Although we recommend re-roofing over roof repairs, particularly when dealing with an old roof close to or beyond its life expectancy, Residential Roofing Solutions will carry out economical roof repairs in an attempt to prolong the life of an old metal roof as long as possible.
Removing roofing nails and replacing them with roofing screws.
Quite often barges become weather beaten and rot gets to the boards and fascias, requiring replacement. Residential Roofing Solutions believes replacement with new timber or metal Colorbond is the best way to prevent this type of deterioration from happening again. With the timber pre-primed and ready for painting you can choose any colour you wish to complement the building's existing design.


Phobya's coolant series was specially designed for use in PC watercooling systems!
Phoba's developer's years of experience in the watercooling sector have resulted in this mixture which features all the things one could ask for in a watercooling system: Corrosion protection, algae suppression, protection from disintegration of different metals as well as extremely low electrical conductivity. Of course plastics such as PVC, NBR, Acetal, Plexi etc. will not react with this coolant. But only the functionality was considered, the coolant is also available in different colours .
Some of the Phobya coolants have special features. This coolant is not only red, it is also UV-reactive, lighting up when exposed to the light from an UV LED, Flexlight or cold ligth cathode.
This coolant is a ready to use mixture which means that it can be added to the system directly without being mixed or diluted.
As this coolant contains dye it cannot be guaranteed that it will not stain e.g. clothing or other materials when coming in contact. Please also note that dye fades with time and the intensity of the colour may decrease.


There's a movement going on at the moment. Quite an important movement at that, one to get beer onto Supermarket shelves. This may not seem like such a big deal but we asked the Brewmistress Lucy Corne to break it down for us. This was what she had to say about #letusbuybeer.
What is #letusbuybeer? It's a grass roots movement backed by the CBASA (Craft Beer Association South Africa) with the goal of trying to change the law to allow beer to be sold in supermarkets alongside wine.
What spurred this on? It's something that has always bugged/confused Shawn (Lucy's husband), and I since we moved here. We've asked countless people and everyone has a theory but not one person can come up with a good reason why wine can be sold in grocery stores but beer can't. So a group of us got together and decided to try and do something about it.
Who is involved? The initial campaign was put together by Shawn (Dissident Brewing Co), myself, Greg Gilowey from Beer Country, the team at CBASA (specifically Nick Smith (Soul Barrel Brewing), Troye May (Hashtag Beertime) and Wolfgang Koedel (Cape Brewing Co)) plus some of the media-savvy folk from a few of the larger craft breweries. But we are encouraging brewers and enjoyers of beer to do whatever they feel is the right thing to do to push the movement. It belongs to beer lovers!
Is it only Western Cape based? At this stage yes. Liquor laws are provincial so each province would have to campaign to their own liquor board. Hopefully other provinces will have a crack at it as well!
It's also about bolstering a better beer scene, where craft beer from a small, local producer becomes the norm.
How do people get involved? The most important thing that people can do is to go to www.letusbuybeer.com and sign the form pledging their support. We are collecting these emails and each Monday we send them on to the Western Cape Liquor Board. So sign up, share, tell your friends and keep supporting!
When do you need people to sign up by? The campaign is running for four weeks, so the last batch will be sent on August 20th. So head to the website and sign up now folks!!
Head over to letusbuybeer.co.za and get your name down before August 20th.
Share this blog post on your social platforms using the hashtag #letusbuybeer to let your fellow beer loving mates know what is going on.
Make sure you follow #letusbuybeer on Facebook and Twitter for updates.
Let's get beer onto those shelves.

Hunts unveil post-ban plans — part six
Horse & Hound 17 February, 2005 09:47
VALE OF AYLESBURY WITH GARTH & SOUTH BERKS
Emma Pearse, joint-master: "We shall meet on the 19th at Thame Showground and hack through Thame as a high-profile media exercise. We'll go out two days a week, on hound exercise, line hunting and rides, until the end of this season. There's no question at all that we'll get rid of hounds or staff for next season, though we may not buy any more horses yet.
"We've got a big National Trust estate, which accounts for about five days a season, and we're negotiating with them, but it seems that they'll allow us to continue using the land. We've got a big country and it's amazing how people who have never been out before are coming now. In a way, I'm quite excited; it's a new challenge and the support we've had has been amazing."
VALE OF CLETTWR
Jane Tromans, hon sec: "We're having meetings about what we're going to do and I've organised a meeting with all our farmers, which will be attended by representatives of the CA and NFU.
"We'll keep going somehow and we'll abide by the rules. We're only a small hunt, but with the farmers' and community's support, we'll make it. We can't let them [the antis] win."
VINE & CRAVEN
Charlotte Fuller, master's wife: "We're meeting in Lambourn on the 19th. We'll carry on meeting as normal to the end of the season, possibly with a few less weekdays, and we'll try out all the legal options. We intend to keep everything going for next season and to keep in touch with all our landowners."
Chris Mason, joint-master: "We intend to carry on, come what may, but within the law. We're planning a big meet on 19 February, and have let the local police know that it's going ahead. We have to keep the infrastructure going so that we can continue, whatever happens.
"We plan to do trailhunting, although we don't yet know exactly how it's going to work — we've been experimenting. We have a small amount of Forestry Commission land over which we hunt, but if it's now unavailable to us, it's not really going to affect us.
"Philip Hague is joining us as our new huntsman, since Sidney Bailey is retiring, and we have a new whipper-in/kennelman. We'll continue to provide a flesh collection service and to employ a full-time stud groom and helpers."
Sam Butler, joint-master: "We're going out on Saturdays and Wednesdays until our season ends on 12 March. Usually we do four days. We'll do a combination of everything allowed under the law, such as hound exercise and fun rides, with the blessing of the farming community.
"We're not sure yet about laying a trail — we want to know we can get it right before we take it seriously. We've sent out letters to farmers, who have been very supportive. We've made no firm plans to reduce hounds, horses or staff, but we need to think how we're going to maintain the structure for perhaps five years."
Maurice Bell, MFH: "We shall be meeting on Sunday, 20 February and having a hunt breakfast. We're keeping hounds, and will be going on hound exercise [on foot], but it's very difficult because if a fox gets up there's no way we can stop hounds in such open country.
"It's a serious situation because there are a lot of foxes about and the farmers are ringing us up and asking what's going to happen at lambing time. William Hague is our MP and he visited the kennels recently, spending all morning with hounds. He said that many MPs just haven't thought this out."
Benjamin Sparrow, MFH: "We're meeting on the 19th, but we may not do much more this season because we usually finish around then. We have an early spring down here [in Cornwall] and have a lot of early potato crops, so it's not the easiest time anyway. We also have a lot of suburban and overlooked country. We're certainly not folding, but I feel that it may be better to start again next season."
WEST OF YORE
Anne Bailey, hon sec: "We'll have a big meet at Masham on the 19th, but we only have about five dates after then anyway, so we'll do hound exercise for the rest of the season. We have a lot of sheep and lambs about, so we have to be careful.
"Next season we plan to try all three options — but we definitely won't turn into a draghunt. I don't think we'll lose many subscribers, and the farmers are more supportive than ever because they're so fed up with the government."
Simon Wadlow, chairman: "We'll meet on the 19th and carry on hound exercising until our usual end of season. We've had informal conversations with farmers and sent letters out last week.
"We haven't bred hounds this season, but that's a one-off. Our master and huntsman of 10 seasons, Myles Salmon, is leaving, and we're replacing him with a professional kennel-huntsman.
"We're going to be flexible and do what's appropriate at the time, essentially providing something for our followers to enjoy so we continue to have a vibrant hunt community."
SIR WATKIN WILLIAMS-WYNN'S
Nancy Shepherd, hon sec: "We're meeting in Malpas on the 19th and will parade through the village as a show of solidarity. We shall continue to do hound exercise through the villages, but it's virtually the end of our usual season anyway.
"We shall continue next season with some form of legal hunting. Our masters are prepared to stay on and we'll keep the hounds and hunt staff, though we may draft some hounds to Ireland."
WEST STREET TICKHAM
Stewart Wood, chairman: "We'll go mockhunting: we're in the south-east and will have rigidly to obey the law. I'm hoping that we'll do as many meets as possible before the middle of March, our usual end of season. We normally meet twice a week, but we may not meet as often because we'll need people to lay the scent and so on. We'll meet Saturdays and will try to scramble one or two weekdays.
"We're about to do landowners' agreements and, from speaking to them, there's a favourable reaction. On 19 February, we're having a big meet at Doddington Place, after which we'll try some mock hunts and ride around the countryside. "
John Reading, chairman: "On 19 February, we're going to have a huge crowd and various people will make speeches. We'll meet two days a week until 2 April. We're not laying a trail. It's hound exercise. We'll also do legal pest control. We'll maintain an active flesh collection service. We have a lot of dairy farmers and have geared up our facilities to meet new rules.
"We have eight days on MoD land that's closed to us now. We've written to our farmers and told them our plans; they've applauded us and told us to carry on legally. We'll keep as many hounds as we can and as many staff as we need. We'll make those plans towards the end of April."
Angus Mann, chairman: "We'll meet on Wednesdays and Saturdays until 30 March, which is our usual end of season. We'll be hunting a fox-based scent, but exactly how isn't completely sealed. It won't be as fast as a drag, and the idea is to have checks and some jumping.
"We have forestry, but not large blocks. Landowners have had a letter from us and only one doesn't want us to come. The four large estates in our country are backing us. We're going to reduce our hunt horses from seven to four, and will have one instead of two grooms. Hunt staff won't have two-horse days."
Wendy Evans, joint-master: "We're nearing the end of our season anyway, but, farmers and wet ground permitting, we'll offer a couple of days' hound exercising, including on the 19th. We'll review our plans for next season. We're in the hands of our farmers and we will continue to offer a fox control service. If we do trailhunting next season, it will be legal, but in the manner of real hunting with hound work — we're definitely not going draghunting."
YORK & AINSTY NORTH
Paul Scholes, chairman: "We plan to follow a trail within the law, but we're not lying down and accepting this legislation by doing so. On 19 February, it's more than likely we'll meet in Easingwold market square with the York and Ainsty South.

TOO LATE THE HERO (CD)
Composed by: Gerald Fried
Overture 01
Too Late The Hero - Opening Titles 02
Trevor's Return 04
Too Late The Hero - Finale 33
NEAR MINT - UNSEALED
1970 War Film. Limited.
Composed and conducted by Gerald Fried.
In Robert Aldrich's pulsating World War II thriller, Lawson (Cliff Robertson), an American naval officer specializing in Asiatic languages, is sent to the Pacific theater to assist a group of British soldiers (Michael Caine, Denholm Elliott, and Harry Andrews) in a seemingly simple mission--knock out the enemy's key transmitter. But the allied soldiers soon realize they are up against unsurpassable odds and that hopes of survival are sliver thin. Lawson takes charge of the group and devises a daring plan of escape.
Robertson lends the film emotional depth with his portrayal of Lawson as a reluctant hero transforming himself into a leader as the suicidal nature of the mission grows ever clearer. In the tradition of Aldrich's earlier action-adventure extravaganzas THE DIRTY DOZEN and THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, TOO LATE THE HERO features a formidable cast, exotic sets, cataclysmic special effects, and an ever-tightening grip of suspense, making the film a worthy addition to the director's canon of macho, white-knuckle forays deep into the lethal epicenter of war.

I figured I would give this baked flounder with cheese sauce a try, having never made flounder (or really, anything else) in a cheese sauce. This recipe is pretty simple and straightforward - season the flounder, bake, and pour sauce on top. I also sprinkled some additional cheese on top just for fun! I was a bit nervous making the sauce because I had never made a sauce starting off with butter and then adding flour and milk, but it was both simple and quick! I just swirled the pot around a bit, and that's all it took. Yay for not having to clean another utensil! If I were to make this flounder again, I would probably add a bit more lemon juice and possibly some other herbs (maybe rosemary?). Although this version is not bad, some extra flavor is always welcome!
What's your favorite way to prepare flounder?
Make a paste with the onion powder, lemon juice, celery seeds, salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices desired.
Place fillets in a baking dish and spread paste on top.
Bake at 400F until almost flaky.
Make sauce by stirring flour into melted butter and adding milk and cheese.
Pour sauce over fish and sprinkle additional cheese on top, baking again until fish flakes.

Montana has a wide variety of invasive aquatic species ranging from algae to turtles. The effect each invasive species has on the environment varies greatly, some species are devastating while others are negligible. Aquatic plants and algae may easily be transported from lake to lake by boaters who do not take the necessary precautions when launching their boats into new bodies of water. Sometimes pet owners may release their pets into a non native habitat where they will actually thrive and eventually establish a population and then begin to displace the native species that it competes with.

You can quickly update some or all helpers on the Helpers > List page grid.
This can be useful to update the AutoFill maximums for a number of helperss at once or to select certain helpers and quickly set them into a Priority Group.
When you select helpers and click the "Bulk Edit" link the layer will show you the exact fields that you have already chosen on your "Select Columns" for the grid. If you want to bulk edit other fields you can click "Show All" in the bulk edit layer. Make the changes to fields you want to update for all selected and click Save. If the fields you updated do not show in your grid, use the "Select Columns" to update what the grid displays.
Coordinators with permission to change company settings can go to their Settings>Info page and choose to only send Publish Notifications to those who are scheduled in that week.
Also coordinators with permission to Add shifts can Restore selected shifts to put them back in the schedule if needed and on published weeks you can check off to send a notification to affected helpers. Note that when restoring shifts our system does not check for conflicts, so you may want to run 'Analyze Shifts' after restoring.
Also, all schedule views have a new "Recently Deleted Shifts" count link at the bottom of each week next to the Schedule History link, and the Shift History log of recent shift changes will include when a shift is deleted so you can see that information when running the 'Export Recent Shift History' off our "Reports" section.
As you start typing in the "Find" box, the grid will be limited to just matching helper on the Helper List pages or to those shifts on the new Shift Grid and Shift Change window.
Click the 'X' on the Find box or the yellow filter banner to cancel Find.
You can check the box to select some or all shifts and then send a message, unassign, send a shift reminder, copy to clipboard or delete the selected shifts. You also can "Bulk Edit" shifts (see below).
On the new Shift Grid schedule view you can sort the view, check off all or some of the shifts and then click to "bulk edit" those shifts.
Now you can view the list of deleted helpers and sort by any column, and the view defaults initially to put the most recently deleted at top of page.
Coordinators with permission to Add Helpers can also Restore a helper, which assigns them a new temporary username and password. It does not reassign them to any previously unassigned shifts.
When coordinator or helper add time off, as they choose the number of full days off the calendar will highlight the associated days in the request and the 'Until midnight on …' note will make it clear what the end date of the time off will be.
Coordinators with permission can set up Time Off "Blocked Dates"
Any date in the future can be blocked. You can block "All Positions" and have no requests for that date or you can specify a position or position group for the block and each date can have any number of positions blocked. Then when an helper who can work that position tries to submit time off that overlaps that date, they will be blocked and told they cannot request that date off.
Only coordinators with BOTH permission to "Approve / Deny Time Off" AND "Change Company Settings" can add time off blocks. Other coordinators can see blocked dates but they cannot add or edit them.
Now on the Pending Time Off page, you will see a checkbox next to each conflicting shift. If you uncheck a shift and then approve the request, that will keep the helper assigned to that shift.
The helper will receive a notification of the time off approval and also be reminded of the shift you chose to keep assigned if that shift is on a published week.
Coordinators with permission to approve time off can view and click any Pending Time Off on the By Helper view to approve or deny it right in the popup window.
Useful for seasonal organizations who bring back many helpers at once.
On the Helpers>Deleted Helpers page, you can now check off a number of helpers and click the "Restore Hleper" link to restore them all at once instead of one-by-one.
Now our email notifications are sent out as HTML. If you have any trouble with the format of your notices you can always set your email back to receive the older "plain text" type emails on your Settings> My Notifications page by clicking to Edit the email and choosing "plain text" as the type.

MARCH 15 Today's post is provided by Abby the Librarian
I am always on the lookout for great titles to booktalk for Women's History Month, so I wanted to share a few of my favorites here with you today!
Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart by Candace Fleming (Schwartz & Wade, 2011)
You know the story of Amelia Earhart, right? She was a famous female pilot, flying across the country and even across the Atlantic Ocean back when airplanes were not nearly as common as they are today. But Amelia Lost tells Amelia's story like no other book has. The book switches between biographical information about Amelia and the story of the days of her disappearance. In a gripping narrative, Candace Fleming relates what happened on the day that Amelia Earhart disappeared. There were several reports of civilians (even children) picking up what might have been snatches of Amelia's radio broadcasts as her plane crash-landed on a remote island in the Pacific! Can you imagine turning on your radio and hearing Amelia Earhart's voice calling for help?
This book brings Amelia's story to life as no other book has done. Even if you think you know the story of Amelia Earhart, it's worth picking up Amelia Lost to give it another look!
Girls Think of Everything by Catherine Thimmesh, illustrated by Melissa Sweet (Houghton Mifflin, 2002).
What do chocolate chip cookies, windshield wipers, and flat-bottomed paper bags have in common? They were all invented by women! Girls Think of Everything gives a glimpse at some of the many, many products invented by women. In some cases, women weren't allowed to patent their own inventions. In some cases, they had to fight to keep their ideas from being patented by men. In some cases, they weren't even allowed in the factories to oversee their own products being produced. But thank goodness women kept inventing things! Short entries are accompanied by collage illustrations and a list of additional inventions by women is included in the back matter. Bring along some of the items mentioned in the book and see if kids can guess what they have in common.
Skit Scat Raggedy Cat: Ella Fitzgerald by Roxanne Orgill, illustrated by Sean Qualls (Candlewick Press, 2010).
Ever since Ella Fitzgerald was a little girl, she had an unstoppable love for music. When she was 14, her mother died, leaving Ella all alone and with no place to live. But Ella didn't give up on her dream of performing. She kept going to auditions, even though she looked like a "raggedy cat" since she didn't have money for fancy clothes. It was hard at first, but people could see she had something special: her music made people want to get up and DANCE! And soon, she wasn't a "raggedy cat" anymore, she was a "rowdy-dowdy high-hat baby" climbing the charts. Ella went on to win 14 Grammy awards, including one for lifetime achievement. Play some of Ella's music for the kids (I'm fond of the following clip if you have access to YouTube:)
Lives of Extraordinary Women: Rulers, Rebels (And What the Neighbors Thought) by Kathleen Krull (Harcourt Children's Books, 2000).
Which woman was not only one of her country's most successful rulers but also threw parties that lasted for 18 days? Which woman forbid her subjects to call her queen, taking the title of king instead and leading her country in a war for its independence? Which woman, when hit in the face with a rock during the middle of a speech, used her sari to cover the blood and kept speaking? (Elizabeth I of England, Nzingha of West Africa [Angola], Indira Gandhi of India, respectively.) In Lives of Extraordinary Women, Kathleen Krull gives us brief biographies, complete with juicy details, of 20 outrageous women from all over the world.
A Strong Right Arm: The Story of Mamie "Peanut" Johnson by Michelle Y. Green (Dial, 2002).
Ever since she could remember, Mamie Johnson loved playing baseball. And I'm not talking softball here, I'm talking hardball. She was a fabulous pitcher, striking out the boys in her neighborhood. The problem? Mamie was born in 1935, a time when women were not allowed to play professional sports. When the All-American Girls' Baseball League was developed after many male baseball players went overseas to serve in the army, Mamie was hopeful that she could follow her dreams at last... but the League would not accept her because she was black.
Mamie still didn't give up. She went on to play with the Negro Leagues - yep, a men's baseball league - and Mamie held her own. Her strong right arm took her far!
Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream by Tanya Lee Stone (Candlewick, 2009).
In 1960, the Space Race was all the rage and astronauts were American heroes.
They were also men.
Enter Jerrie Cobb and the rest of the "Mercury 13". In the early '60s, 13 women took and passed the same physical and psychological tests that men took to qualify for NASA's astronaut training program. But the "Mercury 13" women were not allowed to become astronauts, despite the fact that they were expert pilots. In fact, no woman went into space until Sally Ride did in 1983 and even then she didn't pilot the ship.
Almost Astronauts tells the story of the extraordinary women who fought for their right to make history, to go into space as qualified, talented astronauts.

Abby, very happy to see, A Strong Right Arm on your list. I read it a few years ago and loved it.
The cover of Girls Think of Everything is a work of art.
Keith Schoch March 15, 2011 at 8:50 PM
You've got some of my faves here, including A Strong Right Arm!
Women Thought of Everything would be a great companion book to some of women scientists mentioned in an earlier post here. Thanks for sharing!
Peaceful Reader March 16, 2011 at 9:17 PM
Thanks for sharing these women's history titles. I am familiar with Girls Think of Everything and Strong Right Arm and will have to add the others to my to-purchase list for school.

Q: How to rename a table and some columns in production I am using Entity Framework to handle the database in a server application. The server application is deployed to multiple nodes sitting behind a load balancer. I have now discovered the need to rename some of the tables and some of the table columns in the database. The problem is that I will need to do this without any down-time.
If I was writing my own database layer I could simply check the structure of the database and then run different code depending on if the database structure was upgraded or not and then I could potentially have 0% downtime.
Is it possible to do something like this in entity framework 4 or how do I actually make database changes in production with entity framework? I have searched the web for any solution but to no success. I have also considered having 2 entity framework instances in my app but the amount of code I have to write to switch between them would be far too much and error prone.
So to summarize the question:
Is there any way to rename tables and columns in a database in a production environment using Entity Framework 4 and without any downtime whatsoever?
EDIT
A new idea I got would be to create a view in place of the old table with the old naming scheme referencing the new table. I dont know if this will work. For it to work Entity Framework needs to accept this view like it would be a normal table. Could this be a good idea? Anyone tried anything like this with EF4 ?

A: Okay! Here is what thought I got -
Create new table in DB than renaming and build EntityFramework solution on that.
You need to deploy this by taking one server off from loadbalancer, update it,point entity framework code to new table structure and then again attach to loadbalancer.
Make the same procedure for all the servers in loadbalancer one by one. Once all are up with updated patch then sync old table and new table and then just delete old table. I am suggesting synching these tables so that you have all the data without data loss might happen in above process.

What Can You Do With a Doctor of Public Health Degree?
Resource Articles //
Explore careers you can pursue with a Doctor of Public Health degree.
When you earn your Doctor of Public Health (DrPH), you position yourself for a variety of career opportunities in the field. That's because a high-quality DrPH program can help prepare you to work as a leader or administrator in a variety of practice-based settings within the public, private, or academic sector. And, with employment in healthcare occupations projected to grow 14% from 2018 to 2028, companies of all shapes and sizes are looking to hire qualified public health professionals to lead agencies, institutions, and community organizations.1
Below, we outline three public health roles you can pursue when you earn your DrPH degree.*
Public Health Director
In this role, you will assume a leadership position in health promotion and disease prevention in a community health setting. Serve as a director of a health department, nongovernment organization, or other community health organization as you apply research to advocate for social change. Public health directors work in a variety of areas—including public health advocacy, communication, critical analysis, and leadership.
Health Officer
This is a public-facing role at a public institution such as a hospital, university, municipal department, or government agency. During a health crisis, health officers are responsible for sharing information with the public and/or media, which can include organizing and holding press conferences as well as developing the guidelines to be followed. Throughout the year, they are also in charge of designing and implementing educational programs and campaigns to disperse essential health-related information.
Public Health Consultant
A public health consultant works to advance the overall health of a population. Consultants often work alongside businesses, communities, government agencies, and healthcare facilities to provide guidance on the challenges and issues facing the public health sector. This is done by conducting research and using the data to positively impact the policies and procedures that are in place. Though responsibilities will vary depending upon the setting, a public health consultant is at the heart of improving public health outcomes.

The Chapel of the Muscat family was most probably conceived as a memorial monument to Paolo Muscat and dates back to the first quarter of the 20th century. The chapel is concentric on plan and is topped with a bulbous dome surrounded by four small 'sitting' angels, making the monument a charming decorative landmark within the grounds of the Addolorata Cemetery. Some sculptural elements, including the majority of the stone angels, were severely deteriorated and back-weathered. Restoration works included some stone replacement and plastic repair of the columns, as well as the repair of missing parts of sculptural elements.

Adler succeeds Conley as CAMPO chair
In accordance with its bylaws, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization unanimously approved Austin Mayor Steve Adler's succession to chair of the Transportation Policy Board at the board's meeting Monday evening.
The previous chair, Will Conley, announced his plan to resign at the board's last meeting on Jan. 14.
The board also approved a motion by Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt nominating Williamson County Commissioner Cynthia Long to the position of vice chair, previously held by Adler.
Conley served as board chair and representative of Hays County from 2012-2017 when he stepped down from his position as commissioner in order to run for Hays County judge. Following that action, the CAMPO board made a controversial provision allowing Conley to serve two more years as chair and non-voting representative of the region, which continued through this year despite the fact he ultimately lost his election.
Adler will fill the role as replacement until the original end of Conley's term as chair in January 2020. At that time, the board will nominate and vote on a chair to serve a full term.
CAMPO legal counsel Tim Tuggey said that the board had previously discussed amending the bylaws so that replacements would be chosen by vote instead of by automatic succession. Although that amendment was never adopted, Tuggey suggested the board vote on Adler's succession to allow for potential objections to the process.
After Eckhardt's motion, Travis County Commissioner Brigid Shea made a motion to nominate Corbin Van Arsdale, the mayor of Cedar Park, for vice chair, but the motion died before coming up for a vote.
Shea has been the most vocal critic of Conley's leadership, under which the board has emphasized the needs of rural counties and failed to engage innovative transportation solutions such as autonomous vehicles and regional rail. Shea has previously expressed hope that Adler will serve as the board's chair and place Austin and Travis County again at the center of the policy board's transportation strategy.
As transportation advocate Roger Baker noted during public comment prior to the vote, Adler is known as an "urban environmentalist" and a "strong supporter of transit." Baker said that under Adler's leadership, the region should now "expect to see a green future reflected in CAMPO's new 2045 long-range plan."
Despite their political differences, Adler praised Conley's work as chair. "What you have done, that I'm not sure anybody else could have done, is move us forward as a region, as this board is supposed to do. Regardless of who gets elected as chair, you are a huge loss."
Before leaving the meeting, Conley said serving CAMPO has been an honor and a highlight of his career. "I think our organization is in a better place than which we found it and I'm very proud of the work we have done collectively."
Lest there be any doubt that the board's new leadership was a foregone conclusion, Adler said he and Long had met several times in the previous weeks to discuss their plans for CAMPO moving forward. Specifically, Adler said he hopes to work with Long to continue Conley's work in regionalizing the board's approach to transportation.

CAMPO: The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is the regional planning organization for Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson Counties. Its membership is drawn from the elected officials of those municipalities, as well as various cities that fall within the region, including the City of Austin. CAMPO's focus is on regional transportation issues.

The Sunnier Side of the Office – February 22, 2016
Despite Growth, Podcast Advertising Struggles to Attract Big Brands
When Serial blew up over a year ago, it was obvious podcast advertising was on its way to big things. Since then, podcast listening has exploded to the point where 17% of people over 12 listen to at least one podcast every month, up from 9% the year before. Culturally, the impact can be seen well outside of podcasting. Thanks to Serial, every television producer has been wringing their hands to put out a true crime series (I'm looking at you HBO and Netflix).
Despite all that growth, major brand advertisers are still at bay. This issue is that podcasts suffer from a reporting problem. For the most part, the only data that gets collected is the little amounts provided by the podcaster, her or himself. Where TV and radio have Nielsen to prove viewership, podcasts really don't have an established system of measurement, which scares off major advertisers. On top of that, a small group of publishers dominates the majority of the space. The top 10 publishers accounted for 110 million downloads. However, that is 40% of all podcast downloads, so it's also hard for advertisers to spread money out throughout the industry.
Curious just how small podcast advertising spend is compared to that of more established and measurable mediums? The image above should illustrate just that.
Grammy Awards' Ratings Hit a Seven Year Low
It appears that "award season" is not as popular as it once was. Last week the Grammys recorded the lowest viewership in seven years. Ad Age chalked it up to a few high profile no-shows, like Rihanna who decided not to come at the last second or Kanye West who would only show up if the album he just released won the top award (for which it was not nominated). But Kanye should know better than anyone that albums released for free cannot be Grammy nominated (He should know because it says so in his record). While free albums make a minority of albums listened to each year, their popularity is growing and they are indicative of a rapidly changing music listening landscape. Changing music listeners could mean people are becoming less and less interested in an antiquated award show that represents an older system.
Either way, the gauntlet has been laid for the Oscars, which are this Sunday and they will be trying to gain back viewers they have been losing for years. Last year's Oscars saw a 15% drop in viewership. New controversy with the Academy may help influence the audience size. But even if it brings in a bigger audience, it won't help save their image as a similarly antiquated award show representing an old system.
Twitter is Making Life Easier for Customer Service Teams
Twitter announced another product change to help increase their appeal to brands. Brands can now include "Send a Private Message" button on their tweets to have a more direct interaction with them. Twitter was already a go-to place for CS teams, but this should save teams from having awkward conversations to set up a DM conversation. Also included in the update is a feature that asks customers to provide feedback for their interaction with brands. Brands like Bank Of America and Starbucks are already on board.
Media Partner of the Week: WNYC
WNYC is both New York/New Jersey's oldest public radio station and the producer of some of the country's most popular podcasts (RadioLab, Freakonomics, and Death, Sex, & Money).
Benefiting directly from what they identify as the "Golden Age of Radio," WNYC has been able to expand on its localized footprint and propel its roster of shows forward through well-funded content explorations with Dean Cappello as Chief Content Officer. WNYC's roster of shows includes Snap Judgment, a witty show examining technology, free speech, and politics in the media, Studio 360, a smart guide to what's happening in pop culture and the arts, and The Takeaway, a daily mid-day news program that invites listeners to be part of the American conversation.
Want evidence that they're tailoring their offering for the digital age? WNYC just came out with an app (download here). It has a feature called "Discover" that curates playlists based on your preferred topic list and schedule.
If you're interested in more shows on their roster, here are a few more that we recommend: Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin, Note to Self, and The Sporkful.
This Week in Social: Chamillionaire & J.K. Rowling become Twitter Besties
Back in early January, J.K. Rowling was accused of supporting misogynists by a Scottish Parliament member, Natalie McGarry. After being pressed for evidence, McGarry deleted all of her tweets regarding the accusations. Rowling took it as an opportunity to brush them haters off with the most clever response ever.
It was so good in fact, that the originator of the line, Chamillionaire, responded. Which then resulted in the best internet fistbump of all time and Twitter going bananas.


I work in a newspaper in the city centre, on Talbot Street. During my lunch break, I would leave the office and walk past the drunks and drug addicts that tend to congregate there and head down the quays to take in the Liffey air and get a bit of wind and rain on my face. If it was a nice day, I'd sit on a bench to work on my latest novel.
That part of town is a borderland, between the past and the future. On one side, you have the fine facade of Connolly Station and Gandon's grand Custom House. The area is heavy with history. I often look at the bullet holes in the wall of the Beresford Hotel, caused by the raid on the Custom House during the War of Independence, and wonder who put them there – could it have been my own grandfather, who participated in that attack.
Only a few steps from this history is the Financial Services Centre, a sleek modern temple to money. Just beyond it, the future really opens up as cranes and rising apartment blocks line the Liffey on both sides as it stretches towards Dublin Port.
During the boom, before our financial fall from grace, I once counted over a dozen cranes on the skyline. Dublin was changing and changing fast. Identikit office blocks were sprouting everywhere -- shoebox, one- and two-bedroom apartments were selling for crazy money.
This wasn't the dear old dirty Dublin of my youth. I felt as though the past – my past of childhood street games and of days when I explored the aged city – were slipping from my fingers, only to be replaced by the modern, crisp, antiseptic lines of new construction.
That's what got me interested in cranes and what prompted me to write "High Crimes," my first novel set in modern times, in a Dublin that was new, exciting, but slightly alien. It focuses on a crane operator and of the views he commands across Dublin -- the views he commands of people's lives . . .
SPACE, that's what it's all about; the gulls know it; look at them hanging on the wind, jinking like puppets and then swooping at one another, vying for flying rights. The people in the shoebox apartments know it, too – they've paid top dollar for that little bit of space they call home... idiots. I'm sitting here staring out at more space than any yuppie will ever own. It takes them a lifetime to get where they want on the property ladder; the steel rungs of my Wilbert 420 take me just ten minutes to reach the top. Every day that I climb to my 10x6 ft. Perspex bubble is like that first time, when I saw the bright morning sun break through a blanket of cloud and fall in shafts of light on the city below. It was biblical – the only thing missing was the booming voice of God, like in that Charlton Heston movie, The Ten Commandments. I wanted to float off in my little bubble but the tower shaft held me firm, an umbilical cord staking me to terra firma.
There's a sense of splendid isolation once you're up here; only the low hum of traffic interferes with the serenity; that and a squawk from the walkie-talkie. There are no silly work colleagues, no nagging wife, or noisy kids... it's just me – and that's the way I like it. Here, hanging over the city, I am the great overseer, the all-seeing eye. What was that Jimmy Cagney film, was it "White Heat," I can't remember. "I'm on top a-the world, Ma!" That's what he said; well, that's how I feel in my eyrie. Sometimes in life you can't see the wood for the trees, well, up here, I see the entire forest, it's just that these arseholes around me are pressed so close to the tree trunk, they see nothing and know less.
Someone sometime said that Nature is the great leveler. I know what they mean. When you see the slow build-up of cloud on the horizon, watching it go slate grey in tiny increments and then move relentlessly across the sky, its unyielding bulk like an aircraft carrier, brutal and blank, ready to rain down its cargo on the ants below as they scurry for shelter from the looming onslaught; when you see all that happen then you know what power is. Power is having people buffeted by winds so strong the umbrellas are wrenched from their hands. Just around the corner from them, others stroll along, dry and oblivious, until the first drops fall and the first gust comes to them, too.
You can learn a lot about life up here, alone with your thoughts. You finally appreciate the pettiness of people. I sometimes feel like an alien on a secret mission, observing them all – hanging unseen over their heads, noting their foibles, their eccentricities, their vanity; their small acts of kindness and their broad strokes of selfishness. The apartments, the roof gardens, the tennis courts, small parks and gyms; offices closing and cleaners cleaning and flirtation by the coffee machine and tears and laughter and... everything – it's all to see. I feel privileged to know how it really is, who these people really are. I am a hidden part of their lives, a secret eye into their little worlds and their place in this larger one around them.
Now who could possibly read this excerpt and not immediately click on the link and buy the book?
Ha. I hope you're right Claire!
It's intriguing, I agree, David. And I like the cover. Very sophisticated design. Bravo!

The Burkeville Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, carrying Main Poland Road over the South River in Conway, Massachusetts.  Probably built in 1870, it is a regionally rare example of a multiple kingrod bridge with iron tensioning verticals (a modified Howe truss system), and one of a few 19th century covered bridges to survive in Massachusetts.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Description and history
The Burkeville Covered Bridge stands in the formerly industrial village of Burkeville, west of the center of Conway, carrying Main Poland Road over the South River just south of Massachusetts Route 116.  It is of kingrod truss construction, with a total truss length of  and a roadway width of  (one lane).  It is covered by a gabled metal roof and its sides are finished in vertical board siding.  Its wooden trusses, in contrast to kingpost trusses, have wrought iron verticals which transmit the active load to the top chord of the truss.  In some places, fittings of the trusses have either been replaced or reinforced by steel components.

The first bridge on the site is thought to have been built in 1850, when Main Poland Road was rerouted to accommodate changes in the water impoundments for the industrial facilities then active in Burkeville.  The present bridge was built in 1870 after that bridge was damaged in a major flood the previous year.  It was closed after the 1938 New England hurricane weakened it, and it underwent major repairs.  In the following years, its stone abutments were faced in concrete.  Its roof partially collapsed under heavy snow in 1975, but was restored by town volunteers.  It was closed for safety reasons in 1985, and reopened to vehicular traffic in November 2013 after renovations.
