We hope this letter finds you well, and that your final preparations for Christmas Eve are going smoothly.
Hopefully you remember us as the running columnists from Monterey County who wrote you last year with a wish list of things that could make us better runners. We've had a pretty good year, Santa – but we've also seen a lot of things that make us sad about our favorite sport, and we're hoping that you could help us somehow this year. Incidentally, many other sports face the same problems that running does, so if you can fix these things, you'd have the admiration of millions of sports fans around the world. (Not that you don't have that already).
We believe in you, Santa, and we want to believe in our sport also. Unfortunately, this seems harder to do with each passing year. In light of this, would the following things be too much to ask?
Belief in records: Here's how bad things have become: whenever we see a record get broken, or witness a performance for the ages by a star athlete, our first reaction isn't to say, "Wow, I'm watching history!", but to ask, "I wonder what he's using to perform so well." This happens with alarming frequency in nearly every sport. Who was the last truly clean 100-meter dash world record holder, Tour de France champion, or baseball home run king? Nobody knows for certain – which makes every current and future record a cause for skepticism rather than celebration.
Honesty from cheaters: Last week our newspaper printed a "naughty" list of 85 baseball players who are thought to have used drugs. Guess how many admitted intentional wrongdoing, Santa? Precisely zero.
Humility from professional athletes: Santa, don't you think someone like Alex Rodriquez could just say, "Honestly, I can live quite comfortably on 20 million per year instead of 27 million; why not use the leftover money to reduce admission prices by 10 bucks, or to give free tickets out to kids?
Respect for runners: It seems like there's always been this notion that distance runners are the misfits of the athletic world, since they don't often participate in more glamorous sports like football or basketball.
But take it from us, Santa: distance running is hard work. Cross-country is a brutal sport – and the runners are just as intense and competitive as any 220-pound linebacker. They push themselves beyond boundaries of pain that most other athletes dare not approach, and they do it almost anonymously. We'd just like more people to understand that.
Well, Santa, you've got your work cut out for you. Sorry to make this list so challenging, but we figured that we'd rather have meaningful change rather than toys and gadgets that we don't really need anyway. We know we won't get everything we ask for, but anything you can do to make the world a better place for runners would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time, Santa. Have a safe flight on Christmas Eve!
Financial advice is probably the last thing you would expect to find in this column, especially after we disclose that neither one of us are financial experts. However, the end of the year is a great season for last-minute donations to ease your tax burdens and to put you in the giving mood for the holidays. And since we have no idea how many runners read the business section, we thought we'd share some advice with you here.
JUST RUN. This great youth program developed by the Big Sur International Marathon helps fight the youth obesity epidemic. The award-winning program is in 40 schools in Monterey County and expanding nationally as well. It teaches students to love physical activity, to be good citizens, and how to strive for goals and reach them. The program is provided free to schools and youth groups, and depends on grants and personal donations. Over 10,000 children are expected to enroll this year.
See www.justrun.org for more information, or send donations to "BSIM JUST RUN", PO Box 222620, Carmel, 93922-2620. Call 831-625-6226 for more information.
WNLR SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Since 2001, the famous (to us, anyway) Monterey Bay Wednesday Night Laundry Runners club has provided over $35,000 in college scholarship money to deserving high school seniors. Last year, $9,000 was awarded to 8 students from several local schools. The scholarships are based on academic achievement, leadership, running ability, and financial need. 100% of your donation goes to these deserving students.
Send donations to the WNLR Scholarship fund, 24630 Avenida Principal, Salinas, Ca. 93908, or call 831-905-4301 for more information.
MONTEREY HIGH SCHOOL FIELD AND TRACK RENOVATION. The public/private partnership to upgrade the field and track facilities at Monterey High School has been ongoing for over 5 years now. Almost $1,000,000 has been collected but the cost of the project requires approximately $250,000 more.
Go to www.montereyhightradition.org to look at investment opportunities and find out more about the Honor Wall or other ways you can help. Call Principal Bedell for more information at 831-392-3833.
YOUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL RUNNING TEAMS. You don't have to look any farther than your nearest school to find a worthy charity donation. Nearly all track and cross-country programs are chronically underfunded in school budgets, especially in comparison to larger sports. Every team needs uniforms, travel money, and other training gear. Some Monterey County schools can barely afford shoes to allow students to race. Call your local high school and ask for the track or XC coach, and they'll be happy to accept your donation.
DONATE YOUR OLD RUNNING SHOES TO THE TREADMILL. The Treadmill in the Carmel Crossroads shopping center has been collecting used running shoes for many years. The shoes are delivered to impoverished areas, including a recent shipment to Guatemala with the local Dentists Without Borders group. They also are given out locally to low income families in Salinas and the Monterey Peninsula. So don't discard your old running shoes – they might be a great gift for a family in need.
ENTER A LOCAL RACE. This is the fun way to donate. Sometimes we forget that virtually all local races are fundraisers for worthy charities. So whether you are a walker or a runner, and even if you don't feel like racing, go ahead and enter a race.
GIVE THE GIFT OF RUNNING. This one's not tax-deductible, but it's the best gift you can give. As you think about your year-end donations, consider encouraging or coaching someone close to you to start a running program. There's no kinder present for a loved one or a friend than health and vitality.
On behalf of all of these worthy causes, thank you for supporting the local running community!

Professor Lani Guinier
Sherrilyn Ifill I first met Lani Guinier in the summer of 1988. She was distracted. It was understandable. She was just weeks away from her departure from the NAACP Legal…
Tribute by Gerald Torres, Jeannie Suk Gersen, John F. Manning, Martha Minow & Sherrilyn Ifill
Law and the Gay Rights Story: The Long Search for Equal Justice in a Divided Democracy. By Walter Frank. New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press. 2014. Pp. ix, 236. $29.95. "Just how did it come about that we went from a nation that a few decades ago felt threatened by the idea of gays even meeting together to a nation in which increasing majorities of Americans support the legal gains that were unthinkable just a few decades ago?" (p. 1). In Law and the Gay Rights Story, litigator and author Walter Frank answers this question through an in-depth look at the court cases and events of the last half-century that contributed to the recognition of gay rights in the United States. Frank explores the constitutional issues surrounding, and the two recent Supreme Court cases involving, same-sex marriage, while also comprehensively considering the legal issues pertaining to other major goals of the gay rights movement, such as workplace equality, safe school environments, ending anti-gay violence, and relationship recognition. The balance of deep treatment of legal issues, vivid event coverage, honest critiques of the movement, and particular attention to the individuals who faced enormous risks fighting for gay rights makes this book an engaging and meaningful read.
Comparative Matters: The Renaissance of Comparative Constitutional Law. By Ran Hirschl. New York, N.Y.: Oxford University Press. 2014. Pp. xi, 304. $45.00. Despite the global spread of constitutionalism over the last few decades and the resultant renaissance of the field of comparative constitutional law, there has been virtually no attempt to define the essence of the "comparative" aspect of the discipline. Comparative Matters fills this gap by examining the history and analytical underpinnings of comparative constitutional law. Professor Ran Hirschl's latest work first explores past attempts to engage with and learn from the constitutive laws of other nations, highlighting in particular the dynamic interaction between necessity, inquisitiveness, and politics in these studies. The book then proceeds to identify the boundaries of comparative constitutional inquiries and the social sciences. Ultimately, Professor Hirschl argues that the sharp line between constitutional law and the social sciences needs to be relaxed, as an interdisciplinary dialogue is crucial to the project of fully grasping and explicating comparative constitutional law. This approachable book thus not only offers a compelling account of the development, parameters, and methodologies of comparative constitutional inquiry, but also provides affirmative directions aimed at sustaining and even expanding the field's current renaissance.
Capitalism v. Democracy: Money in Politics and the Free Market Constitution. By Timothy K. Kuhner. Stanford, Cal.: Stanford University Press. 2014. Pp. xiii, 360. $27.95. America depends on two foundational institutions — democracy and capitalism. Although each is based on values central to American ideals, the interaction of these institutions can be mutually corrosive. In Capitalism v. Democracy, Professor Timothy Kuhner convincingly shows that by blurring the line between economic and democratic values and rationalities, the legal regime governing money in politics has made this corrosion manifest. Professor Kuhner's impressive book brings economic and political theory to bear on the evolution of the constitutional law of democracy, which he argues not only permits but "amplifie[s]" the substitution of democratic values for free-market notions of economic competition in the political sphere (p. xi). The upshot of subjecting economic competition to a regime of constitutional rights is the loss not only of democracy but also of capitalism: innovation-producing economic competition is neglected amid battles over political influence. Kuhner ultimately determines that "[t]he free market theory now governing the law of democracy is so comprehensive and absolute" that only a constitutional amendment or a change in the Court's composition could properly separate politics from economics (p. 93). Professor Kuhner's timely book will interest scholars and reformers alike.
In Our Hands: The Struggle for U.S. Child Care Policy. By Elizabeth Palley and Corey S. Shdaimah. New York, N.Y.: New York University Press. 2014. Pp. xi, 276. $30.00. Professors Elizabeth Palley and Corey Shdaimah advocate a paradigm shift in how childcare policy is thought of in America today. In their view, childcare should not be seen as an individualized concern subordinate to and disconnected from other policy issues. Rather, they argue, childcare should be "framed as part of larger universal policies to support families" (p. 13). The authors trace the history of childcare debates, looking at proposed legislation from the past four decades. They describe a shift from attempts at comprehensive childcare policy in the 1970s and 1980s to focus in the 1990s on childcare as a poverty issue. The only childcare legislation actually enacted — the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act — provided only short-term, emergency relief. Today, childcare policy remains inadequate and advocacy groups remain largely unsuccessful in reframing debates around childcare policy, due in part to a lack of coordination among advocacy groups. What is needed, the authors conclude, is a "revolution" — but that revolution still seems far off (p. 220).
On Democracy's Doorstep: The Inside Story of How the Supreme Court Brought "One Person, One Vote" to the United States. By J. Douglas Smith. New York, N.Y.: Hill and Wang. 2014. Pp. 370. $35.00. On Democracy's Doorstep tells the story behind the Warren Court's famous political reapportionment decisions. In a series of cases in the 1960s, the Supreme Court ruled that state legislative districts must be drawn to distribute voting power equally among the state's citizens. The most well-known decisions, Baker v. Carr and Reynolds v. Sims, inaugurated the cherished "one person, one vote" principle. Through these cases, the Warren Court took great strides toward enabling American democracy to more faithfully represent the interests of all voters, no matter where in a state they resided. In the Court's view, political malapportionment presented a problem with a pressing need for judicial intervention. Yet the Court's decision to assert itself provoked tremendous controversy and huge backlash, very nearly culminating in a constitutional amendment to overturn the slew of decisions now seen as indispensible. J. Douglas Smith's book takes readers behind the scenes to recapture the high drama that allowed decisions like Baker and Reynolds to emerge and, ultimately, to stick.
Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy. By Kyle G. Volk. New York, N.Y.: Oxford University Press. 2014. Pp. xi, 291. $34.95. The tension between majority rule and minority rights is as old as the American Republic. In this timely book, Professor Kyle G. Volk artfully explains the competing forces and shifting political coalitions in the mid-nineteenth century that ultimately constructed the modern paradigms of morality politics, majority rule, and minority rights that still govern our democratic landscape today. In the 1820s, a broad range of social groups began protesting majoritarian laws that they perceived as tyrannical — from laws limiting business activities on Sundays to laws enforcing slavery and antimiscegenation. Yet at the same time, mass-participation democracy was becoming a force for populist empowerment, giving more legitimacy to laws and leaders supported by majorities rather than by an elite few. Simultaneously, white Protestants fought to retain their political primacy by advocating for new "morality" laws. Professor Volk focuses on three of these efforts — Sabbath reform, temperance, and radical abolition — and how these movements gave rise to the push and pull of modern majoritarian morality politics and corresponding minority rights. In this engaging historical account, Professor Volk provides perspective that illuminates political movements of both the 1800s and today.

Photographic plates preceded photographic film as a capture medium in photography, and were still used in some communities up until the late 20th century. The light-sensitive emulsion of silver salts was coated on a glass plate, typically thinner than common window glass.

History

Glass plates were far superior to film for research-quality imaging because they were stable and less likely to bend or distort, especially in large-format frames for wide-field imaging. Early plates used the wet collodion process. The wet plate process was replaced late in the 19th century by gelatin dry plates.

A view camera nicknamed "The Mammoth" weighing  was built by George R. Lawrence in 1899, specifically to photograph "The Alton Limited" train owned by the Chicago & Alton Railway. It took photographs on glass plates measuring  × .

Glass plate photographic material largely faded from the consumer market in the early years of the 20th century, as more convenient and less fragile films were increasingly adopted. However, photographic plates were reportedly still being used by one photography business in London until the 1970s, and by one in Bradford called the Belle Vue Studio that closed in 1975. They were in wide use by the professional astronomical community as late as the 1990s. Workshops on the use of glass plate photography as an alternative medium or for artistic use are still being conducted.

Scientific uses

Astronomy

Many famous astronomical surveys were taken using photographic plates, including the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) of the 1950s, the follow-up POSS-II survey of the 1990s, and the UK Schmidt survey of southern declinations. A number of observatories, including Harvard College and Sonneberg, maintain large archives of photographic plates, which are used primarily for historical research on variable stars.

Many solar system objects were discovered by using photographic plates, superseding earlier visual methods. Discovery of minor planets using photographic plates was pioneered by Max Wolf beginning with his discovery of 323 Brucia in 1891.  The first natural satellite discovered using photographic plates was Phoebe in 1898.  Pluto was discovered using photographic plates in a blink comparator; its moon Charon was discovered 48 years later in 1978 by U.S. Naval Observatory astronomer James W. Christy  by carefully examining a bulge in Pluto's image on a photographic plate.

Glass-backed plates, rather than film, were generally used in astronomy because they do not shrink or deform noticeably in the development process or under environmental changes. Several important applications of astrophotography, including astronomical spectroscopy and astrometry, continued using plates until digital imaging improved to the point where it could outmatch photographic results. Kodak and other manufacturers discontinued production of most kinds of plates as the market for them dwindled between 1980 and 2000, terminating most remaining astronomical use, including for sky surveys.

Physics
Photographic plates were also an important tool in early high-energy physics, as they are blackened by ionizing radiation. Ernest Rutherford was one of the first to study the absorption, in various materials, of the rays produced in radioactive decay, by using photographic plates to measure the intensity of the rays.  Development of particle detection optimised nuclear emulsions in the 1930s and 1940s, first in physics laboratories, then by commercial manufacturers, enabled the discovery and measurement of both the pi-meson and K-meson, in 1947 and 1949, initiating a flood of new particle discoveries in the second half of the 20th century.

Electron microscopy
Photographic emulsions were originally coated on thin glass plates for imaging with electron microscopes, which provided a more rigid, stable and flatter plane compared to plastic films. Beginning in the 1970s, high-contrast, fine grain emulsions coated on thicker plastic films manufactured by Kodak, Ilford and DuPont replaced glass plates. These films have largely been replaced by digital imaging technologies.

Medical imaging

The sensitivity of certain types of photographic plates to ionizing radiation (usually X-rays) is also useful in medical imaging and material science applications, although they have been largely replaced with reusable and computer readable image plate detectors and other types of X-ray detectors.

Decline

The earliest flexible films of the late 1880s were sold for amateur use in medium-format cameras. The plastic was not of very high optical quality and tended to curl and otherwise not provide as desirably flat a support surface as a sheet of glass. Initially, a transparent plastic base was more expensive to produce than glass. Quality was eventually improved, manufacturing costs came down, and most amateurs gladly abandoned plates for films. After large-format high quality cut films for professional photographers were introduced in the late 1910s, the use of plates for ordinary photography of any kind became increasingly rare.

The persistent use of plates in astronomical and other scientific applications started to decline in the early 1980s as they were gradually replaced by charge-coupled devices (CCDs), which also provide outstanding dimensional stability. CCD cameras have several advantages over glass plates, including high efficiency, linear light response, and simplified image acquisition and processing. However, even the largest CCD formats (e.g., 8192 × 8192 pixels) still do not have the detecting area and resolution of most photographic plates, which has forced modern survey cameras to use large CCD arrays to obtain the same coverage.

The manufacture of photographic plates has been discontinued by Kodak, Agfa and other widely known traditional makers. Eastern European sources have subsequently catered to the minimal remaining demand, practically all of it for use in holography, which requires a recording medium with a large surface area and a submicroscopic level of resolution that currently (2014) available electronic image sensors cannot provide. In the realm of traditional photography, a small number of historical process enthusiasts make their own wet or dry plates from raw materials and use them in vintage large-format cameras.

Current production

The recent renewal of interest in alternative photographic processes has included interest in dry plates.

Pictoriographica LLCIn December 2017, Pictoriographica LLC, a small business located in the United States, began making dry plates commercially available for sale, giving photographers access to dry plates who lack the equipment or resources to make their own.  The plates are produced in any size desired by the customer, with several formats in common use in the early 20th century listed as stock items.  The initial line of plates, called J. Lane Dry Plates, were more sensitive to UV and blue light with a nominal speed of approximately ISO 2.  They are intended to be similar to dry plates in common use during the early 1880s.  In May 2019, Pictoriographica began offering a line of Orthochromatic ISO 25 dry plates called J. Lane Speed Plates.  This product replicates the look of dry plates produced in the late 1890s.

ZEBRA DRY PLATES D.O.O.

In 2019 another European company called Zebra Dry Plates, situated in Slovenia started producing and selling high quality photographic glass Dry Plates and needed equipment. All of their products are handcrafted guaranteeing the highest possible quality. They offer ISO 2 Standard Glass Dry Plates as well as direct positive Dry Plate Tintypes that where released in 2022 and present a completely new medium in the field of direct positive imagery. All of the plates are being offered in all stock as well as custom sizes. However the Zebra brand is not know only for its high quality Dry Plates but also for photographic equipment such as Dry Plate Holders, Drying Racks, Lens Boards and more that are beeing offered on their website: ZEBRA DRY PLATES

Preservation
Several institutions have established archives to preserve photographic plates and prevent their valuable historical information from being lost. The emulsion on the plate can deteriorate. In addition, the glass plate medium is fragile and prone to cracking if not stored correctly.

Historical archives
The United States Library of Congress has a large collection of both wet and dry plate photographic negatives, dating from 1855 through 1900, over 7,500 of which have been digitized from the period 1861 to 1865.
The George Eastman Museum holds an extensive collection of photographic plates. In 1955, wet plate negatives measuring  ×  were reported to have been discovered in 1951 as part of the Holtermann Collection. These purportedly were the largest glass negatives discovered at that time. These images were taken in 1875 by Charles Bayliss and formed the "Shore Tower" panorama of Sydney Harbour. Albumen contact prints made from these negatives are in the holdings of the Holtermann Collection, the negatives are listed among the current holdings of the Collection.

Scientific archives
Preservation of photographic plates is a particular need in astronomy, where changes often occur slowly and the plates represent irreplaceable records of the sky and astronomical objects that extend back over 100 years. The method of digitization of astronomical plates enables free and easy access to those unique astronomical data and it is one of the most popular approaches to preserve them. This approach was applied at the Baldone Astrophysical Observatory where about 22,000 glass and film plates of the Schmidt Telescope were scanned and cataloged. Another example of an astronomical plate archive is the Astronomical Photographic Data Archive (APDA) at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI).  APDA was created in response to recommendations of a group of international scientists who gathered in 2007 to discuss how to best preserve astronomical plates (see the Osborn and Robbins reference listed under Further reading).  The discussions revealed that some observatories no longer could maintain their plate collections and needed a place to archive them. APDA is dedicated to housing and cataloging unwanted plates, with the goal to eventually catalog the plates and create a database of images that can be accessed via the Internet by the global community of scientists, researchers, and students. APDA now has a collection of more than 404,000 photographic images from over 40 observatories that are housed in a secure building with environmental control.  The facility possesses several plate scanners, including two high-precision ones, GAMMA I and GAMMA II, built for NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and used by a team under the leadership of the late Dr. Barry Lasker to develop the Guide Star Catalog and Digitized Sky Survey that are used to guide and direct the Hubble Space Telescope.  APDA's networked storage system can store and analyze more than 100 terabytes of data.

A historical collection of photographic plates from Mt. Wilson observatory is available at the Carnegie Observatories. Metadata is available via a searchable database, while a portion of the plates has been digitized.

Zika Virus May Now Be Tied to Another Brain Disease
Apr 10, 2016, 05:22 ET
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 10, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Zika virus may be associated with an autoimmune disorder that attacks the brain's myelin similar to multiple sclerosis, according to a small study that is being released today and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 68th Annual Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, April 15 to 21, 2016.
"Though our study is small, it may provide evidence that in this case the virus has different effects on the brain than those identified in current studies," said study author Maria Lucia Brito Ferreira, MD, with Restoration Hospital in Recife, Brazil. "Much more research will need to be done to explore whether there is a causal link between Zika and these brain problems."
For the study, researchers followed people who came to the hospital in Recife from December 2014 to June 2015 with symptoms compatible with arboviruses, the family of viruses that includes Zika, dengue and chikungunya. Six people then developed neurologic symptoms that were consistent with autoimmune disorders and underwent exams and blood tests. The authors saw 151 cases with neurological manifestations during a period of December 2014 to December 2015.
All of the people came to the hospital with fever followed by a rash. Some also had severe itching, muscle and joint pain and red eyes. The neurologic symptoms started right away for some people and up to 15 days later for others.
Of the six people who had neurologic problems, two of the people developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), an attack of swelling of the brain and spinal cord that attacks the myelin, which is the coating around nerve fibers. In both cases, brain scans showed signs of damage to the brain's white matter. Unlike MS, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis usually consists of a single, attack that most people recover from within six months. In some cases, the disease can reoccur. Four of the people developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a syndrome that involves myelin of the peripheral nervous system and has a previously reported association with the Zika virus.
When they were discharged from the hospital, five of the six people still had problems with motor functioning. One person had vision problems and one had problems with memory and thinking skills.
Tests showed that the participants all had Zika virus. Tests for dengue and chikungunya were negative.
"This doesn't mean that all people infected with Zika will experience these brain problems. Of those who have nervous system problems, most do not have brain symptoms," said Ferreira. "However, our study may shed light on possible lingering effects the virus may be associated with in the brain."
"At present, it does not seem that ADEM cases are occurring at a similarly high incidence as the GBS cases, but these findings from Brazil suggest that clinicians should be vigilant for the possible occurrence of ADEM and other immune-mediated illnesses of the central nervous system," said James Sejvar, MD, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and member of the American Academy of Neurology. "Of course, the remaining question is 'why'–why does Zika virus appear to have this strong association with GBS and potentially other immune/inflammatory diseases of the nervous system? Hopefully, ongoing investigations of Zika virus and immune-mediated neurologic disease will shed additional light on this important question."

Good morning! I hope you were all able to enjoy time with loved ones yesterday. Even though Scott and I were far from our families, we spent some much needed quality time together for Christmas, and I am so very thankful for it.
Things are slowly getting back to "normal" around our household… whatever that is. I plan to spend the day going through a lot of our closet and belongings, sorting through things we need and things we can give away. There's a Pistons home game later tonight, but that's really the only thing on the radar as far as plans go this weekend.
Here's hoping you have a great day doing whatever you're doing. If you happen to be home, or traveling to see friends and family, soak it up!
Now onto this week's edition of Friday Favorites. As always, I invite you to join in on the party in the comments and link-up sections at the bottom!
It's no secret that I'm a Friends fanatic. I've mentioned it on the blog plenty of times, and am one hundred percent guilty of recording episodes on our DVR that I have seen at least ten times before. I might have a problem.
Knowing this, I received the complete (ten season) series on DVD as a Christmas gift from Scott's Dad and step-mom this year!
I was pretty excited to unwrap this beautiful red box of entertainment when we skyped with them on Christmas Eve! Let's just say that Scott is… thrilled.
I mentioned that a unique phone charger would make a great gift in this year's Holiday Gift Guide for Him. After finding these cloth wrapped cords online, I knew I wanted to order at least a set of them for Scott and I. As I was checking out, I saw it would take 2-3 weeks for them to arrive, I became inpatient, and bailed on the order. I wanted them sooner.
With the same cloth cord idea in mind, I searched all over the Internet, but was unable to find exactly what I was looking for. Eventually, I ended up on Etsy and found this custom monogram iPhone charger decal. It was perfect for Scott, since he has a habit of stealing my charger.
I ordered him one in black and then found this adorable Lily Pulitzer inspired monogram iPhone charger decal for me too.
I found a set of Mercury cloth wrapped iPhone chargers at Nordstrom Rack for $19.99 each. The decals arrived around three business days later, and I applied them, re-boxed them, then wrapped both boxes up for us to unwrap on Christmas morning.
They light up when you plug them in and charge our phones very quickly. It was a great gift for both of us!
• 16 Reasons You Should Never Reenact Pinterest Photos via Buzzfeed. This pretty much sums up what happens every time I try.
I shared a few throwback family photos earlier this week, and almost couldn't wait to also include where they came from. My mom made my brother, my sister, and I all copies of this holiday album of family Christmas photos from our childhood!
The inside took me back to my very first Christmas, and getting the book was a total surprise!
I don't have too many photos from the early days in our home, so this was the best present I could have received.
She put the book together through Shutterfly, and from what I understand, it only took her a couple of days to do so. What a thoughtful present for any holiday, birthday, anniversary, or special event!
PS: If you ever end up using Shutterfly for photo albums, prints, or cards, look for coupon codes online! I simply googled "shutterfly coupon codes" and ended up getting almost 60% off our holiday cards that way.
I absolutely love ear warmer headbands.
They are similar to beanies, only don't cover the entire top of your head. They're great for keeping your head and ears warm during the winter without leaving you with as much "hat hair" when you take them off.
The ones I rotate the most include the one you see above (I got from Frank & Me in Clarkston), and two others I brought home from Paris. They all have a fleece lining on the inside that feel extra cozy and keep me warm!
I even wore one during the entirety of my last half marathon. You can wear your hair up with them, as opposed to only being able to wear a low ponytail with regular beanies. Genius!
I almost forgot how much I love pancakes until we made some for breakfast on Christmas morning. Almost.
I usually make Fiber One or protein pancakes, so it was a treat to have the Bisquick buttermilk pancakes I grew up on. SO good!
Both Scott and I thoroughly enjoy finding and trying produce and products made locally or throughout the state of Michigan. We often frequent the Made in Detroit shops when we have out-of-town visitors, and always come home with something for our pantry as well.
Scott brought this gift basket filled with Michigan-made goodies home from the office this week and we can't wait to dig into it!
Aren't locally made products the best?
After hearing Julie and a handful of other friends of mine rave about the gourmet hot chocolate from Williams-Sonoma, I went to the store and bought the sampler pack to give to Scott as part of his Christmas present.
He's a huge hot chocolate fan, so I knew he would instantly love the gift. We broke it out while watching a movie last night, and I absolutely see what all of the fuss is about. Each bag is filled with real chocolate shavings flavored differently.
I apologize for not announcing a giveaway winner earlier this week.
Thank you for all who entered in the Hands-Free Jogging Leash giveaway at the end of last week's Friday Favorites!
Entry #84: Jennifer K! You have been emailed and are asked to respond within 48 hours to claim your prize.
Friends is my favorite, I have all the seasons as well and could watch them over and over (and I do). Glad you had a good holiday!
I love the phone charges, especially the Lilly one. All things are better monogramed! And I of course love love the Detroit Local Shops and items made in Detroit. I got a few presents from the Detroit shop at Somerset this year 🙂 Thanks for hosting the Friday Favorites linkup and Happy Day after Christmas!
I think so too! 😉 I had a feeling you would like the Detroit basket. Glad to hear you had a great holiday! Thanks so much for linking up!
Those chargers and the photo album are so cute!
I LOVE ear warmer head bands! I call the "sweater" headbands 😉 They seriously keep me SO warm on my runs!
They really are like sweater headbands, so comfy!
That is the cutest/thoughtful gift! I love photo albums 🙂 I made one for my husband, and it ended up being a super fun, but long project! So fun though.
I know… I made one for my parents after our wedding and it took FOREVER! I think it's because I'm a serious perfectionist, lol. Thank you for linking up!
So glad to hear you had such a relaxing and wonderful day with Scott! When we lived in Utah before Hunter came along, we had a couple Christmases with just Cody and me and they were SO nice. I'll never forget those special Christmases with the two of us!
Um, I'm thinking that the chocolate mix needs to be sprinkled over ice cream. Or straight into my mouth… So glad you had a great Christmas! Relaxing with your dude when you are so busy is perhaps the best present of all, amiright?
Glad y'all had a great Christmas! Oooh, I love the monogram phone chargers. Any unique gift like those always gets me. I've used Shutterfly in the past and always enjoyed their customer service and products. And my mother made some very special Christmas pancakes this year as well! I posted a picture of them on my recent blog post with a recap of Christmas.
I've only had great experiences with Shutterfly! Yum… pancakes are the best. Happy Holidays!
Oh, Friends! <3 I discovered this late into my college life and used to watch it with my roommates!
Those custom monogram phone chargers are such a great idea, and I love that coffee mug! 😛 I hope you have an awesome holiday weekend!
Ha, so very true! Happy Holidays!
Lucky Dad! I know, I do the same thing. I need to stock up while I'm around it!
I love that photo book! That is so sweet of your mom! I use Shutterfly for all of my photo books (not crafty enough to scrapbook, lol) and I LOVE how they turn out 🙂 I often build the book in my free time and then wait to order it until they have a big sale.
Oh I like that charger! I can't ever find a cord when I need one. That book is adorable what a great gift idea. Shutterfly just sent me a code for a free book I wonder if it's still valid? Now I want to make one. Happy Holidays Heather!
Can't hurt to try! I love making those books too. Happy Holidays!

The culverts to review.shp is in a file on our network drive and not in a gdb, no one else is accessing it but me. Any ideas as to why I would be getting this error?
This looks like you are making a shapefile? You may need to add .shp, though it really shouldn't make a difference. Do you have a previous version with the same name open in another process/application?
Also, you should be using a list for the fields to delete.
Also, add the raw string tag to your paths to avoid problems.
Awesome thank you!! I made both those changes and it runs error free!!
One more quick question though, is there a way to bypass the interface that pops up when running a script where you would typically have user inputs? I click on the script in the toolbox then the interface pops up and says there are no input parameters and I have to hit ok on it also then it will run. Its not a big deal but it would be nice if it just runs when you click on the script.
In 10.1 you can create a python add-in that is able to bypass this I believe. In 10.0 I'm not sure if you can without using ArcObjects.


Welcome to the UCSD Psychiatry Research Residency Track! Our program aspires to educate future Academic Psychiatrists, and to help nurture their early academic careers by building important skills in research, clinical care, teaching and mental health advocacy. We have the unique advantages of being a small and individualized program (2-3 trainees per year), supported by the remarkable clinical and scientific resources within UCSD and its affiliated Neuroscience community. The UCSD Department of Psychiatry is home to a world-class faculty – many of whom trained within our Department – that is dedicated to the success of our trainees. Our graduating Research Track trainees often move from our Psychiatry Residency to positions within one of our 12-15 specialized Fellowship training programs. A general description of our program follows below, and the broader reaches of our Department can be appreciated by exploring our Departmental website.
The challenges that we face in bringing hope and better life quality to individuals and families with mental illnesses will only be met by educating the future generations of Psychiatric physician-scientists. I am deeply committed to this process. So please read-on, and contact me if I can answer any specific questions!
Neal R. Swerdlow, M.D., Ph.D.
Since 1987, the UCSD Department of Psychiatry has supported a designated Research Residency Track (RRT), with the goal of training future leaders in neuropsychiatric research and Academic Psychiatry. The RRT is directed by Neal Swerdlow, M.D., Ph.D., and Sidney Zisook, M.D. serves as the RRT Associate Director. The UCSD Psychiatry RRT is currently funded by an NIMH R25 Award, through June, 2018.
Each year, 1-2 applicants match into separate NRMP slots assigned to this program; M.D. and M.D., Ph.D. candidates are eligible for this program, with the most competitive applicants demonstrating both outstanding clinical skills and a longstanding commitment to research on the biology of mental illness. The absolute expectation is that RRT trainees will develop into highly skilled Psychiatrists, world-class scientists, effective teachers and powerful advocates for patients and families with mental illness. In fact, our Program is dedicated to making sure that this happens!
Even before starting the RRT, trainees are assigned a mentor to help ease their transition into our Program and begin the process of professional development. The mentor is selected to be a senior investigator in the trainee's area of interest. During the PGY1, RRT trainees meet with their mentor and the RRT Director, and develop a personalized training plan designed to match the trainees' research interests with the most productive training laboratories and mentors in our Department. Specific developmental benchmarks are clarified for their longitudinal progress through the RRT. Trainees and their identified mentors then develop and submit a research proposal for a 2-month PGY2 dedicated laboratory experience.
Typical PGY2 projects involve supervised laboratory and/or clinical experimentation as well as an independent scholarly literature review. Opportunities exist for mentored rotations within affiliated programs at the Salk Institute, Scripps Research Institute or Sanford-Burnham Institute, and in laboratories within the renowned UCSD Neurosciences Program; Residents pursuing such rotations are also assigned mentors within the core Department faculty to foster and reinforce the trainee's strong connection with Psychiatry and mental illness research. RRT trainees often identify specialized clinical rotations during their PG2 years that can synergize with their research interests.
After approval of a proposed PGY3 project, RRT trainees spend 40% effort (2 days per week) of their PG3 year in a mentored research experience. Additional expectations for this year include publication of a scholarly review (from the PGY2 rotation) or empirical experimental findings, and participation in a national or international scientific meeting.
The mentored research experience is expanded to 75% effort in the PG4 year, during which time RRT Residents also develop applications for Fellowship Training or individual career development awards. Typically, RRT trainees avail themselves of one of the many outstanding fellowship opportunities within the UCSD Department of Psychiatry, while other trainees progress directly into academic faculty series.
Candidates interested in the UCSD Psychiatry Research Track are encouraged to contact Dr. Swerdlow directly, early in their MS-IV year.

Bio: Venice Sportfishing Captain with one priority, Put you on the bite!
[Venice,LA] Now is the time to get fish in the 200 pound range. We are rigged and ready.
[Venice,LA] We are getting started on 11 straight days of fishing. Thankfully the tuna have showed back up!
[Venice,LA] The tuna fishing has started to really pick up, in fact we are in full swing! We are catching them solid. Having quality bait has been the difference including fresh pogies and hardtails. After you catch bait, we blast out to the floating oil rigs and fish until about noon and then we go sword fishing unless you want to tuna fish all day long.
[Venice,LA] We hooked a beast recently and got it in the boat. A true butterball weighing in a 215 pounds. Our clients did great reeling in this trophy of a fish.
[Venice,LA] This is our peek season and the fall big tuna are in the area. If you can get them to the boat before the sharks get them, you will have a trophy catch.
[Venice,LA] Our anglers have been battling some big tuna fish and I am happy to say they are officially here! Tuna pushing the scales at 200 pounds Are you ready for the challenge?
[Venice,LA] What an unexpected and welcomed surprise when the rod bends over twice as hard as normal.
[Venice,LA] The temps are already starting to drop slightly. You know that the fall is just around the corner and so are the big tuna!

Blind Spot Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Hurt Washington, DC Drivers
Our Washington, DC truck crash attorneys know how to win your claim
Driving alongside a big rig or behind an 18-wheeler on a Washington, DC highway can be unsettling. Every 18-wheeler has blind spots, and if the truck driver isn't careful enough or is being negligent, you could get injured in a devastating collision. Our Washington, DC truck accident lawyers understand the dangers of blind spot truck crashes and will hold reckless truckers responsible for their negligence. If you've been hurt or a loved one was killed in a blind spot crash with a tractor-trailer, a Washington, DC truck wreck attorney can help you recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, damage to your car, pain and suffering, and more. Contact the Mike Slocumb Law Firm today for a free consultation.
Washington, DC truck crash lawyers explain blind spot collisions
The area right in front of, directly behind and along each side of an 18-wheeler are considered blind spots, especially if you're driving immediately to the right of the tractor-trailer. Even if you're following the rules of the road and driving carefully, you could end up in a blind spot crash with a big rig and sustain serious injuries. Some of the more common injuries drivers sustain in blind spot truck accidents include:
Head and brain injuries
Lost limbs
Broken or fractured bones
If you're lucky enough to walk away from a collision with an 18-wheeler, you still may be severely or permanently injured and go through a lot of pain and suffering. While the driver or the trucking company may try to say the crash was your fault, many blind spot collisions are due to truck driver error or negligence.
If you're driving near a tractor-trailer and you can't see the driver's eyes or face in the cab's side mirrors, you are likely in a blind spot and at risk of getting hurt in a collision. In order to avoid a blind side crash with a big rig, our Washington, DC truck accident lawyers recommend you:
Keep a safe distance between you and the tractor-trailer: If you tailgate or ride the rear of a big rig, you could slam into the back of the trailer if the driver needs to stop quickly.
Give plenty of room when changing lanes: If you are changing lanes in front of an 18-wheeler, be sure to leave plenty of room before you pull in front of it. If you look in your mirrors and can see both headlights on the tractor-trailer along with some ground between the big rig and your car, you should have enough room to change lanes.
Use your turn signals: Big rig drivers need to know what other drivers are doing so they can properly react. If you change lanes in front of or alongside an 18-wheeler without signaling, the driver might not see you and collide with your vehicle.
Never pass on the right: The biggest blind spot on a tractor-trailer is on its right side, so if you need to get around an 18-wheeler your best bet is to pass on the left.
How a Washington, DC truck accident lawyer can help with your claim
Every driver must be aware of their vehicle's blind spots. Truckers sit higher up off the ground and operate big rigs that can weigh 80,000 pounds and be 50 feet long, making their blind spots much larger than most passenger cars. Trucking companies and the lawyers who represent them in accident claims have coined a term called the "no-zone," referring to an 18-wheeler's blind spots, but it's essentially a clever way for them to pin blame on other drivers for being in this "no-zone" regardless of who's truly at fault.
If you're in a tractor-trailer's blind spot and you have a collision with that big rig, the crash isn't automatically your fault. There are many reasons why the driver of an 18-wheeler may not have seen you, including:
Improperly adjusted mirrors
Fatigued/drowsy driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs
Blind spot collisions with big rigs can be complex and proving who's responsible for the crash can be difficult. That's why you need the knowledge and experience of a Washington, DC truck accident lawyer to investigate the details surrounding your crash, gather evidence, and build a strong case that insurance and trucking companies won't be able to ignore. Don't let them push you around, and don't let them try to say the accident was your fault when it wasn't. If you've been injured or a loved one was killed in a blind spot truck crash, fight back -- contact the Mike Slocumb Law Firm today for a free consultation.

Home Industries Energy & Environment California power outages could boost Generac sales by $50 million this year
California power outages could boost Generac sales by $50 million this year
Arthur Thomas
Generac's headquarters in Waukesha.
The precautionary power outages implemented by California utilities in an effort to prevent wildfires are creating a new level of interest in home standby generators made by Waukesha-based Generac Holdings Inc.
Aaron Jagdfeld, chief executive officer of Generac, told analysts Thursday the power outage activity to date could lead to $50 million in new sales for the company this year with the potential to grow to $200 million annually in the future.
"It is going to be, we think, a long tale event, similar to other major events," Jagdfeld said.
Generac is no stranger to seeing increased demand for its home standby products following major natural disasters, especially hurricanes. Extended power outages typically create interest in the product category. The company then works with its dealers to hold in-home consultations before eventually installing a unit.
The problem for Generac is California has not traditionally been a big market for the company. It had around 100 dealers in the state to start the year and has scrambled to increase the total to 300 currently. Jagdfeld acknowledged the comparison is against a small number, but in-home visits are up 500 to 600% this year.
"We are inundated right now," he said, adding the company is sharing leads with other channel partners to get information to potential customers. "Obviously we don't want people to have to wait to talk to someone about these products."
Jagdfeld said the backlog for consultations can be up to a couple weeks depending on the area, adding that it is important to maintain the quality of the visits in order to be able to close sales.
He said most of the $200 million opportunity for the company will come in the residential market, but Generac is seeing interest in other areas as well. Some of the equipment Generac makes is used in brush clearing and forest management, so it will be in demand as California confronts more wildfires.
Generac also makes generators used by telecom companies and Jagdfeld said he expects those customers to be taking a closer look at their networks as the power outages continue, noting the potential for people to be stuck with the power out and the threat of wildfires as "an untenable situation."
One area where Generac is currently facing challenges is portable generators. Demand typically peaks before or just after natural disasters and the company tries to stock up retailers in advance of events like a hurricane.
In California, however, the California Air Resource Board has set stricter emissions standards for the generators. Generac sells a different product into California. Since the state has not historically seen a lot of demand for portable generators, the company did not plan to make a lot this year.
Generac does have plenty of its standard portable generators, having stocked up ahead of Hurricane Dorian only to see the storm skirt along coastal areas.
"We have a lot of product we could put in California today and we have retailers who are begging for it, but we can't ship it there legally," Jagdfeld said.
The company is currently working with the California Air Resources Board and the EPA to seek a temporary waiver to be able to sell the standard generators in the state, he said.
Longer-term, Generac also expects to see demand for its clean energy and energy storage products in the state.
"You've got a lot of solar rooftops, people who have solar (panels) on their homes out in California that thought they were covered in a blackout. What they're finding out is those systems are structured such, they're engineered such, that the power is fed back to the grid. It's basically a one-way trip," Jagdfeld said.
He noted that only about 2% of solar systems in the U.S. are connected to energy storage systems.
"That's a very ripe market for us to go after," Jagdfeld said.
