August 24/12 11:27 am - UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships: Day 3 report

Posted by Editoress on 08/24/12

Day 3 at the track in New Zealand

Colombia’s Fernando Gaviria Rendon recovered from two crashes on the first night to dominate the men’s omnium on the third day of finals at the UCI Juniors Track Cycling World Championships in Invercargill, New Zealand.

Gaviria Rendon had a practice start tonight to see if he was able to manage with his bumps and bruises after two heavy falls. The 18-year-old did more than that, finishing third in the individual pursuit, fourth in the scratch race and third in the 1000m time trial.

He finished with 15 points, well clear of Jon Dibben (GBR), who edged out Australia’s Tirian McManus by one point for the silver medal after winning the final time trial.

“I am very happy to have a first place in the Junior World Championships,” Gaviria Rendon said. “In the beginning I didn’t really expect [the win] but would like to thank my coach.”

Gaviria Rendon came to the championships with plenty of credentials as the junior road, time trial, team pursuit and scratch race national champion.

Dibben had a strong second night winning the pursuit and kilo, with Japan’s Takuya Takashi winning the scratch race.

Russian sprinter Daria Shmeleva lived up to her nickname, the “Pocket Rocket”, when she won the gold medal in the women’s sprint final.

Shmeleva won the gold medal in two straight rides in the best of three race final over Australian Caitlin Ward.

The Russian, who is the world record holder over the 500m time trial, rode down Ward in the first final and dominated the second to claim the gold.

“I rode more than 120 per cent because I could not do more than I did to win,” said the Russian. “For this event I have been training since the last Junior Worlds after I got my first gold medal in team sprint from last year.”

New Zealand’s Paige Paterson took out the bronze medal in two rides over American Jennifer Valente, who earlier was relegated after crossing the line first in the final of the women’s scratch race.

Georgia Baker bagged the sixth gold medal for Australia when she won the women’s 7.5km scratch race in a tight finish from New Zealand’s Sophie Williamson.

Defending world champion Jennifer Valente was relegated from gold despite crossing the line first for not holding her line in the last 200m.

Throughout the race it was the New Zealander who was the aggressor, but was unable to break the field.

The Australian Baker crashed mid-race but was able to rejoin and recover sufficiently to claim the title.

Meanwhile defending champion Taylah Jennings (AUS) has the lead after three events in the women’s omnium, winning all three races today.

This Date in Caps History - January 17

Thursday, 01.17.2013 / 12:01 AM
Mike Vogel  - Senior Writer

On January 17, 1987 the Washington Capitals spanked the Hartford Whalers by a 6-1 score before 15,126 onlookers at the Hartford Civic Center.

Washington got on the board first when Mike Gartner scored on a penalty shot just 1:30 into the first period. It was Washington's first penalty shot since December 20, 1980, a span of more than six years. Gartner beat the Rangers' Wayne Thomas on that occasion. This time, Gartner put the puck past Hartford's Mike Liut for his 11th goal of the season. At 7:34 of the first, Kevin Hatcher netted his fifth of the season to make it 2-0, Washington. Mike Ridley earned the lone assist on Hatcher's goal. With the two teams playing four skaters a side, Dave Christian scored his 11th of the season at 11:21. Scott Stevens and Craig Laughlin gained the helpers on Christian's goal. Washington had nine shots on Liut in the first while the Whalers countered with 11 against the Capitals' Bob Mason.

Hatcher scored an unassisted goal at 1:56 of the second period to push the Washington advantage to 4-0. Less than three minutes later, Hatcher and Kelly Miller assisted on Bobby Gould's 11th goal of the season, driving Liut to the bench in favor of Steve Weeks in the process. Liut surrendered five goals on 12 shots in fewer than 25 minutes of work. Christian bagged his second of the game at the 8:16 mark of the middle period with help from Larry Murphy. The goal was Washington's sixth unanswered tally and fifth straight even-strength marker. Hartford outshot Washington 9-7 in the second period.

Mason came within 4:52 of a shutout but that went by the boards when former Cap Doug Jarvis scored a shorthanded goal for the Whalers at 15:08 of the final frame. The Whale outshot Washington 9-6 in the third and 29-22 on the evening.

Mason's 28-save performance earned him the game's first star. Christian and Hatcher took the second and third stars, respectively. Both players had two-goal games; Hatcher added an assist.

You are overlooking the possibility that a recovery does not necessarily return to the way it was....over even to anything that you might believe resembles the way it was.

It's like trying to turn the clock back to our American way was in the 50's.  Although many, like myself, would find this a very appealing alternative to our current state of affairs, it simply cannot happen.

Time marches on, and the events that happen along the way shape our lives.  You're whole premise is that somehow the world must return to another time in order to "recover."

Throughout history, there have been ideal times and disastrous times.  Each one affects the future.  It's quantum physics.

There is no going back to the "recovery" you expect, Alstry.  There is only forward.  The direction we are going may lead us into more disastrous times....or to more prosperous times.  Only God, the timeless One, can know what will happen.

While your prognostications are based on logic and history, as we know, history is not always the best tool for prognosticating the future.

We, as humans are destined to repeat our past failures even while striving to improve upon our past successes.

It is called the human condition.

Now, I must tell you, that you are the ULTIMATE ALSTRYBATOR.  You continue to rant and rave with the knowledge that if you continue long enough, eventually you will be able to say to everyone "See, I told you so."

So be it.  If you have nothing better to do with your time.  If you have nothing more constructive to offer.  If you are simply sitting around in your underwear all day researching all that ails humanity, yours is a sad, sad existence.

God Bless you Alstry.  But can you change the channel.  :)

Cartographic geeks, rejoice! NASA, Japan release most complete topographic map of earth

NASA: NASA and Japan released a new digital topographic map of Earth Monday that covers more of our planet than ever before. The map was produced with detailed measurements from NASA's Terra spacecraft. The new global digital elevation model of Earth was created from nearly 1.3 million individual stereo-pair images collected by the Japanese Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer, or Aster, instrument aboard Terra. NASA and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, known as METI, developed the data set. It is available online to users everywhere at no cost.

"This is the most complete, consistent global digital elevation data yet made available to the world," said Woody Turner, Aster program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "This unique global set of data will serve users and researchers from a wide array of disciplines that need elevation and terrain information."

According to Mike Abrams, Aster science team leader at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., the new topographic information will be of value throughout the Earth sciences and has many practical applications. "Aster's accurate topographic data will be used for engineering, energy exploration, conserving natural resources, environmental management, public works design, firefighting, recreation, geology and city planning, to name just a few areas," Abrams said.

…"The Aster data fill in many of the voids in the shuttle mission's data, such as in very steep terrains and in some deserts," said Michael Kobrick, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission project scientist at JPL. "NASA is working to combine the Aster data with that of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and other sources to produce an even better global topographic map."…

NASA furnished this great image with the following caption: The Los Angeles Basin is bordered on the north by the San Gabriel Mountains. Other smaller basins are separated by smaller mountain ranges, like the Verdugo Hills, and the Santa Monica Mountains. In this perspective view looking to the northwest, Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) simulated natural color image data were draped over digital topography from the ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) data set. Dodger Stadium is visible in the lower right, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the light- colored area at the foot of the mountains in the upper right of the image. The ASTER data were acquired August 15, 2006, and are located near 34.1 degrees north latitude, 118.2 degrees west longitude.

Court rules control the conduct of court business. General procedural rules are usually statutory. They are uniform throughout an entire court system. More procedural rules, local rules, may vary among courts.

Federal Court Rules

The basic federal procedural rules are the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and Federal Rules of Evidence. These rules are printed in separate pamphlets, such as Federal Judicial Procedure and Rules, and also are included in annotated or unannotated texts of the United States Code. LexisNexis (genfed library, usrule file), Lexis Advance (federal rules annotated), Westlaw (us-rules database) and Bloomberg Law also contain the text of these rules. The rules of general application can be found on the U.S. Courts web pages.

Local court rules can be found in Federal Local Court Rules or West's state rules pamphlets (e.g. McKinney's New York Rules of Court, State, and Federal). They also appear on LexisNexis, Lexis Advance, Westlaw and Bloomberg Law in the various state rules files and on the Internet at the U.S. Courts rules site.

To locate federal cases that interpret rules, use USCA or USCS. For annotations to leading cases only, use Moore's Rules Pamphlets. To locate state cases which interpret federal rules use the various state Shepard's statutory citators. On Westlaw use KeyCite, and on LexisNexis use Shepards to find cases. Federal Rules Decisions contains District Court cases which interpret Fed. R. Civ. Proc. or Fed. R. Crim. Proc. and which are not printed in F. Supp. Secondary sources interpreting the rules (articles, speeches, and judicial conferences) are also included in F.R.D. F.R.D. appears in the frd databases on Westlaw. Two looseleaf services, with their own access tools, cover cases from all federal courts, including unpublished opinions. Federal Rules Service covers the Fed. R. Civ. Proc. and F.R. App. Proc. For the F.R. Evid. use Federal Rules of Evidence Service.

For explanations of the rules, consult treatises, such as Wright and Miller's Federal Practice and Procedure (WestlawNext - fpp) or Moore's Federal Practice (Lexis Advance- moore) or (LexisNexis- genfed;moores).

New York State Court Rules

New York state court rules are reproduced on the website of the New York State Unified Court System. Newly promulgated rules are announced also in the advance sheets of the New York Supplement and the New York State Register.

Official Compilation of Codes, Rules, and Regulations (NYCRR) volume 22 (parts A-D, "Judiciary") contains state court rules. Selected case annotations are located in part A behind an orange tab labeled Annotations - case notes and administrative notes.

The civil and criminal rules of procedure are included in the consolidated laws (Civil Practice Law and Rules (click on Laws) in chapter 8; Criminal Procedure Law in chapter 11.) New York has a combination of statutory and common law rules of evidence. Many of the statutory rules are in articles 45 of the CPLR and 60 of the CPL. For annotations, use an annotated code set such as McKinney's or New York Consolidated Laws Service (CLS). McKinney's and CLS also include the text of acts governing various New York courts and the local rules promulgated by these courts. The ny-st-ann database on Westlaw, the ny library, nycode file on LexisNexis and New York Consolidated Law Service on Lexis Advance also contain the consolidated laws. The consolidated laws are also on Bloomberg Law.

West publishes an annual pamphlet containing the rules of federal and state courts sitting in New York, McKinney's New York Rules of Court, State and Federal. Although not annotated, it contains cross references to annotated sources. The rules (with annotations) are also available in the ny-rules database on Westlaw, in the ny library, nyrule file on LexisNexis, New York state and federal court rules on Lexis Advance, and on Bloomberg Law.

New York Standard Civil Practice Service, Desk Book (SCPS) is an annual one volume annotated guide to New York State court rules, including rules for specialized courts such as the Surrogate's Court.

The best source for local or individual judge's court rules is often the court's website.

To update state court rules by looking at interpretive cases, use Shepard's New York Statute Citations. The citator has separate sections for the N.Y.C.R.R. and the Consolidated Laws. Use KeyCite on Westlaw and Shepard's on LexisNexis to identify cases that may not be included in the annotated codes.

TC TO JOHN FERGUSSON; 3 June 1820; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18200603-TC-JOFE-01; CL 1:256-259.

Mainhill, near Ecclefechan, 3d June 1820—

My dear Fergusson,

After the candid profession of indolence, which you made previously to my departure from Edinr, it may occassion some surprise too see a creature once so dilatory and deficient in epistolary matters thus bestirring him to perform tasks of supererogation in that line; and unless the aspect of those five guineas pointed to a different conclusion, you might think me wonderfully improved in generosity and all the kindred virtues since we parted. I am sorry to admit that your secondary idea will be the better one. But for the business relating to that cash and about to be laid upon your (I hope) not very reluctant shoulders, it is any thing but certain that I should so far have vanquished sloth, melancholy and the other powers of darkness as to make any successful efforts towards renewing our correspondence, however profitable and pleasant. Time, and the discontinuance of these eastern blasts which sweep our unsheltered district afflicting man and beast and herb (Edinburgh with its double and triple vortices of dust and rubbish must be a paradise even now!) would certainly have done the business at last; but to the affair, which I must now explain, you certainly owe an acceleration of the trouble and pleasure that the perusal & answering of a sheet from me may happen to cause.

I ought to begin with a certain decent quantity of excuses and apologies for troubling you, and so on: but after all, the trouble would still remain; and you I fear would not be better convinced of my gratitude, than if I let the matter rest in silence. Let it rest there then and wait—till I can oblige you—for a proof of my thankfulness. The matter is shortly this— George Johnstone, for whom you were kind enough to take out several freights of medical books last summer, charged me before his departure to procure for him an Infirmary ticket—that by help of it and another winter's attendance in Edinr after his return from Greenland, he might be enabled to obtain a diploma in the spring of 1821.1 Circumstances of not much importance prevented me from satisfying this request before I left you; and his Mother, a very meritorious widow, having called upon me to express great anxiety and regret on this head, I made bold to comfort her by saying that if the money were remitted to you, out of your great goodnature and benevolence you would not fail to transact the matter in a satisfactory way. If I have not miscalculated, you will therefore proceed so soon as you find it convenient to the Infirmary Janitor, and tell him to get a ticket for Mr George Johnstone, pay him the money and send the article down with letters and what not (by George Farries Ecclefechan carrier) directed to me thro' the care of Mrs Dr Johnstone in the village already mentioned. Farries puts up, as he calls it, at Mrs Reid's candlemaker row;2 and if his porter do not call for the packet, I will take it very kindly in you to find means of giving it to the landlady or the carrier's own hands—for he is terribly stupid—as the instance of my ill-fated trunk, arrived but yesterday, sufficiently evinces. I do not expect that you will get the ticket on the very day of your receiving this: yet if possible you must send me a letter tho' it should contain but the words ‘I received your parcel safe.’ The carrier will be back in about a fortnight. I am hurried and stupid—but I hope you will comprehend all this, and excuse it and fulfil your part of it, if you can.

When I dipt my pen, for the first time, I had no suspicion that this Cock and Bull story would occupy so large a portion of my sheet: I thought the first leaf would serve. This it is to reckon without our host—without estimating the confusion and prolixity of our own brain. As matters stand I had as lief call this thing an invoice as a friend's letter: and at the very last corner, it is too late to think of mending. Wait till the next opportunity, and I shall tell you about the Radicals and Antiradicals of Glasgow—the punch is better than the politics of the latter—about the inkleweavers3 of Paisley, the battle of Drumclog, the ironworks of Muirkirk, and all the other ravishing objects that I saw and felt and handled on my tour.4 I will not criticise Goëthe's Faust—but I will tell you that I love and admire the Author. My other books have closed their weary lips—leave them to repose! As to my writing— The thing on terrestrial magnetism is not even worthy of being despised very heartily—and for Mohs5 with his simple and compound forms—his first second and third pyramids—‘May the Lord put an end unto all’6 such writing & reading as soon as may be! When I write again, I will tell you more fully about all this—and whether I am happy or miserable here—which I cannot well decide at present. Wait—your patience is not deeply, it will not be long, called for. But tho' I content myself with such surface work, your letter (with the ti[c]ket—at farthest) must be infinitely more minute. You must tell me all your views and studies[—]your maniere d'être [way of life] in short and all about it. Then you must give a ful[l] detail of the Moral philosophy election, the resignation (declination, fool!) of Sir Jas M'Intosh and the rival claims of Hamilton and Wilson.7 I see no paper but an old Examiner8—strong meat—an Olla podrida, high-flavoured, but coarse and na[u]seous to a sentimentalist. Is the fish-monger, think you, actually going to seat himself in Dugald Stewart's chair?9 I must also have an account of Waugh and Francis Dixon(make my compliments to both)—and above all an excuse for this tissue—on consideration of its being from (My dear friend)

Yours most sincerely,

Thomas Carlyle

JWC TO AMALIE BÖLTE; 16 March 1849; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18490316-JWC-AB-01; CL 23: 252

Friday morning [16 March 1849]

You divined perfectly right, Dear, as to the INTENTION part of it; Lady A was to “take me with her to Addiscombe,” and we were to have gone yesterday, to stay till monday or Sunday, as I meant to have told you in time to spare you a vain journey on Sunday.— But Lady A felt too unwell yesterday for making a journey in such bitter cold—so put off till today and today I have another note from her putting off into the vague— I am thankful; tho I should have stood to my engagement I was wishing greatly I had not made it—this weather taking all spirit of enterprise out of me—

—Thanks for the offer of music but I found the only concern of that sort I ever tried dreadfully wearisome and besides a concert room in this weather! Oh my dear! “dinna speak o' it!”

Yesterday on my way to Oxford Street in quest of warm stockings I called on your milliner—but saw nothing to excite my cupidity—besides, the things seemed to me much about the usual shop-price!——

Thanks for all your “delicate attentions”—I rather wish you HAD been “a man”; for if anything could rouse a spirit in one it would surely be the getting oneself “eloped with” and I think YOU understand me better than any male lover ever did—hang them all!1

Your affectionate

Ada Lovelace Day: Guest Blogger Blythe Woolston

By Blythe Woolston, author of the forthcoming novel The Freak Observer (Fall 2010):

Today I would like to honor Vioalle Hefferan, a citizen scientist whose work assisted in the advance of technology. Vioalle Hefferan wasn't an engineer, unless a person considers what a feat of engineering it is to inspire dozens of teens to spend long, cold, silent—and often fruitless—hours glued to a telescope. As far as I know, she never invented anything, although she clearly was able to bootstrap equipment and solve problems. She was a historian who became a science teacher primarily to challenge herself. In the process she played a role in the unfolding events of the space age and made her students equal partners with professional researchers around the globe.

Today, the earth is attended by a buzzing swarm of orbiting tools...

Not that long ago, hurricanes were virtually unpredictable until they were near landfall. Now, satellites can pick up the first spiral stirrings of tropical weather systems and make it possible to warn people of approaching storms. Our communication systems—telephone, television, radio—all rely on satellite uplinks. If you want to know if and when a Great White is cruising off the beaches of Perth, Australia, you can get an email update—thanks to satellite monitoring of tagged sharks.

But this is all a relatively recent development.

In 1957 a rocket launched with 184 pounds of payload on board: Sputnik. It is hard to imagine how that beeping ball changed the world. Yes, there were the geopolitical tensions...but there was also the straight-up fact that this was new technology. Orbits were nigh on impossible to predict. And there were no sophisticated tracking stations in place to monitor this new thing in the sky. To be honest, no one was even certain where to look. That is where Vioalle Hefferan comes into the story.

As part of her work as a teacher, she had started a science club, and she included the study of astronomy both in the classroom and as part of the club's activities. She had enjoyed stargazing as a child herself. She stated, the stars "always winked at me and and teased me with their mysteries." Her enthusiasm must have been infectious, because she created a group of well-trained, disciplined observers willing to spend their Saturday nights watching a patch of night sky—exactly the sort of citizen scientists mobilized by Operation Moonwatch to spot and track Sputnik.* Even though her team was composed of teens and many of their instruments and equipment were home-made, when it came to discipline and scientific rigor, Miss Hefferan's students were dependable members of the Moonwatch network. They did good science. Miss Hefferan wouldn't have it any other way.

The Moonwatchers made no individual shattering discoveries, but they made a genuine contribution. A truth about science, and about the advancement of technology, is that progress is often incremental. Great leaps forward are the aggregate of small achievements. Those teens in Albuqueque did spot Sputnik a couple of nights after the launch. The data that Vioalle Hefferan and her students collected was sound, and that data was essential to not only satellite launches, but all of the space exploration missions that follow. So, when you look at the amazing images brought to us by the Hubble, remember that bunch of kids working through the night so we could understand orbital trajectories. Because without that, without people like Vioalle Hefferan, there might not be a Hubble telescope at all.

* Moonwatch was the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's program through which thousands of volunteer amateur observers around the world participated in tracking the first artificial satellites launched by the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R., as part of the International Geophysical Year. I've depended on W. Patrick McCray's wonderful history Keep Watching the Skies!: The Story of Operation Moonwatch and the Dawn of the Space Age for my information about Vioalle Hefferan and her students. This is only a little slice of the story he tells. You really need to read the book. Any errors in content are my own.

Ada Lovelace Day: Guest Blogger Sally M. Walker

By Elizabeth Dingmann, Publicist, in the absence of the world-travelling Andrew Karre

Sally M. Walker (pictured at right on an archaeological site where she researched her book Written in Bone) is the author of many books, including the Sibert Medal-winning Secrets of a Civil War Submarine. Her research for the forthcoming Frozen Secrets (coming Fall 2010) brought her into contact with explorer and science teacher Robin Ellwood, whose experiences in Antarctica are featured in the book. In honor of Ada Lovelace Day, Sally gives us a sneak peek at Robin's accomplishments in the field as well as the classroom.

Robin Ellwood is a junior high science teacher in Rye, New Hampshire. She is a certified master diver whose skills have taken her on many adventures, including four scientific expeditions to Antarctica, where she has explored lake ecosystems. During the 2008-2009 field season, Robin was a member of Dr. Peter Doran’s team. The goal of the expedition was to explore Lake Bonney, one of Antarctica’s surface lakes, with ENDURANCE, a remotely operated underwater robot.

During this particular season, Robin brought to Antarctica a camera-equipped robot built by several of her 8th grade students. Nicknamed Scuba DOOBA Doo, the little robot successfully navigated the water in McMurdo Sound and sent video of its dive back to the students in New Hampshire.

Every time she has been to Antarctica, Robin has kept an online journal that chronicles the science projects that she and others are carrying out “on ice.” Her words and her excellent photographs give readers all over the world a front row seat to many different facets of scientific exploration on Earth’s remotest continent.

Robin is a member of the PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating in the Arctic and Antarctic) program, which is part of the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States.

Broken business models. Deleted buy buttons. The Agency Four. The death of reading. Blah blah.

Don’t pity book people. We still know how to have a good time and get some stuff done while we’re at it. Perhaps the best example in my experience of this phenomenon is the Bologna Book Fair, for which I depart in 48 hours. I think I’m set for this trip, with a book full of appointments and a stack of business cards, air kisses at the ready.

What am I there for? Well, Bologna is largely a rights fair. Publishers come to buy and sell translation and other rights. I’m there to buy. A day for me will comprise  a dozen or more half-hour meetings with foreign publishers, followed by drinks and dinner with colleagues from other houses. For the meetings, I have a list in mind of things that I’d like to acquire, plus I try to be open to pleasant surprises. The rights sales people show me things, and I may say not interested or I may say send me more (much more of the former than the latter). Afterward—the drinks and dinner part—is an opportunity to hang out with friends and colleagues I don’t see otherwise and to share industry gossip. All of this is wonderfully facilitated by the fact that Bologna has to be one of the best food cities in the world.

I’ve done Bologna a couple times, so it’s still relatively novel for me. I’d love to get you the real scoop from Maria, our rights director and a true Bologna pro*, but  if I asked her to write something now, her head would explode, so I’ll try to get her to recap after the show. Stay tuned.

Ciao for now. I’ll try to post from the fair next week.

Spremuta di Arance Rosse Rosaria* Most important pro tip I got last year may have been when having breakfast with Andersen Press publisher Klaus Flugge. I poured myself a glass of the ubiquitous (and good) blood-orange juice from the carafe on the table. Klaus, on the other hand, called the waiter over and ordered spremuta d’arancia. Three minutes later, the waiter returned with glass of freshly squeezed blood orange juice, which was incomparably better. Lesson learned.

Spring has sprung.

How can I tell? It’s not the rivers of mud or the crocuses. It’s our shiny new imprint, Carolrhoda Lab:

Allow me a moment of inarticulate glee and giddiness about this announcement. It’s no secret how important YA is to me, both as an art form and as a part of an important conversation about  our culture. I am so excited to be able to cast this new line into that teeming stream with Blythe, Steve, and Ilsa.

When I was imagining writing this post, I was thinking about that stock phrase in press releases: “For immediate release.” Man, that is true in more ways than one. We’ve been working on Lab for a  long time, and now that it’s official, the release is indeed immediate. Sadly, I didn’t coordinate my desire to make a pun with Lindsay, so I see that phrase isn’t there. Ah well. True all the same. Launching something like this is a large amount of work for a lot of dedicated people, not least the authors who’ve put their faith in the new thing. So to all involved, I say thanks and bring on the books.

The Stuff You’ll Never See…

…at least not until someone gets really famous and/or dies.

The video is interesting to me as a photography geek,  but it also got me thinking about all the material that creative people and their publishers make in preparation for showing something to readers/viewers/consumers. In the case of the Magnum prints, these are not materials meant for the general public; they’re a step along the way to something for the public—a piece to help editors and curators and other gatekeepers make decisions that eventually result in a magazine piece, a museum exhibition, or a book.

All of us here at Lerner are up to our eyeballs in similar materials at the moment, all in advance of our fall 2010 lists. A lot of this material is still physical, especially as we get near the final stages, and it still bears the sometim2010-03-04 10.57.14es witty markings of artists, art directors, and various editors and production people.

More often than not, though, these little-seen steps between idea in the brain and book on the shelves take digital form, marked up with tracked changes and virtual sticky notes (still witty but more legible). While the paper proofs eventually get shuffled onto various shelves or filed away or simply recycled, the digital ones, which generally show up via email, tend to disappear in the Heraclitian stream that is my inbox (no, I don’t practice zero inbox, sadly). They disappear, that is, until I get this email:

I’ve gotten this email every night for the last couple weeks, despite daily purging of massive attachments (thanks, Attachment Remover). It’s okay, though. If tulips are a sign of spring, “over its size limit” emails are a sign that we’re almost done with a season’s worth of books. And what a season it will be. I’m very excited about what I can blog about next week.

Get Real

TyandPowerTools, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader.

Breaking news on the reality TV front. It seems that Trading Spaces is going to bring back Paige Davis. (This is one of my shots of Ty Pennington taken on set when they were filming in Austin.) The producers of Hell's Kitchen, A. Smith and Company, have replaced Banyan as producers for the show and they intend to make the show more "heartwarming" (their words, not mine) by bringing back the old designers Doug, Hildi, Laurie, and Frank.

I can't help but wonder, since the folks who bring us Hell's Kitchen, are behind this, is Paige now going to turn into a cursing British host. I can almost hear it now, "Oh Bloody Hell, Hildi, you've gone and painted the f***ing room yellow again!?!"

Still, you must admit, "Bloody Hell Hildi" has a nice ring to it, especially given what she's been known to do to poor, unsuspecting wallpaper and all. I mean, if the British swear word fits...

In other "no this isn't Hollywood but we do produce a lame ass TV show here every once in a while" news it seems the folks who brought you the original have now taken it "big screen." Yes, snowflakes, I'm happy (ok, maybe "crazed" would be a better word) to report that those makers of that plastic fantastic lens we all love to hate-baby, it's the lensbaby-have started making lenses for movie cameras. I'd say, "oh the horror," but it's so blurry I can't quite make out 'horror' from 'comedy' so I'll just have to leave it at that.

Maybe, in a twisted nightmare come to life, Nicolas Cage can direct his next movie with a lensbaby lens and get that cursing British chef to cater his Oscar party. Meanwhile, I'll be in the institution, happily watching Paige Davis glue feathers to a wall while tied up in a straitjacket muttering things like, "I used to be normal before these people invaded. Do you remember what it was like in the days before the war?" to some strange insane man knitting a sweater that isn't really there.

But then, you know, reality bites.

Until next time...

Hi there Carol,

You have a very interesting blog. Google let me know that you made a post about our new PL mount Lensbaby so I dropped by to check out what you had to say. Did you see the clips on

Are you really horrified that we came out with a Lensbaby for the movies? I saw in one of your earlier posts that you purchased a 3G and are into pinhole photography now. How has the 3G been working for you? Have you mastered all the nobs, dials, and buttons?

The lovely thing about blogs is that people can be candid. I would welcome your candid feedback on your experience with your 3G so far. Where are you at with Lensbabies?

Dias medievais 2015- braceletes na alvorada

I hear you yawning.Here in Castro Marim its festival time again.This year the festival is bigger and larger than ever-5 days.This year has seen a lot of resentment and hostility (bracelets at dawn),myself included, about this years impositions.Castro Marim is an unnoticed town at the "east end" of the Algarve where we meet with Spain.We are all working at a cidade European.There is a lot on offer to be enjoyed here.This year an entrance charge of €2  has been introduced,which I personally do not agree with, but as a tax paying resident understand.The festival has a proven financial success  which shows that serious revenue can be achieved from vast attending numbers.For residents,for sure, the  run up has been an upheaval and sacrifices have had to be made. Five days of entertaining guests is a lot of hard work and financial investment, but hey guys this is the last big Algarvian festival of the summer and then we have to all go back to "School", adults and children alike in our own ways.This festival profers some  of the best Portuguese street food and a medieval banquete every night in the Castelo.Variety of choice and and value for money. Give this festival a chance.We cant promise a star line up but how much would you pay for "Rock in Rio" for instance without the ambiance  a small historic medieval town strives to provide.Lets all work together, me and you, to accept the barriers that have been put up and despite our misgivings pay our entrance fees with grace and party on.The weather could not be better, so lets do it.Lets make it work.Follow the daily medieval menu on here.

Você tem que obter o gimmick

Courgettelle with prawns and a summer tomato sauce

Have you been inspiralized yet? If the verb "to spiralise" has not yet entered your vocabulary, get a grip, or even better get a gimmick. You'll be more than just a mimic when you get this gimmick.You will be able to customize your very own carb free recipes and put a bit of spirality into the way you cook.Trends and fads can pass us by but you gotta have this gimmick if you wanna have a chance.
Forget spaghetti, this year it’s all about ‘courgetti.’Vegetable pasta seems to be the new big thing this summer. Naturally, cooking  courgetti is a much speedier process than boiling bags of weighty pasta. Bet you didn´t see that one coming, me neither, keep up. If you're wondering how to transform your vegetables into spaghetti or noodles, reach for the latest must-have gadget, the spiraliser. I haven´t actually got mine yet but its already in the Amazon basket awaiting the next order. And meanwhile if you want vegetable pasta but not necessarily spaghetti you can use a descascador (regular julienne peeler) to create courgetelle (above) or vegetable pappardelle.This is exactly what I did. I got so inspiralized by all those recipes in magazines and blogs that I had to do something about it. The Helmsley sisters, Melissa and Jasmine Hemsley, were among the first of the recent band of "beautiful bloggers" to make vegetable spaghetti fashionable. They actually branded their own spiralizer too.
Courgetti with prawns and tomato sauce
Loosely interpreted from an original recipe by Isabel Zibaia Rafael
serves 4
2 curgetes
500g peeled prawns
600g ripe tomatoes,skinned de-seeded and coarsely chopped
1 small tin anchovies including the oil
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 stick celery
1 leaf of leek
50 ml olive oil
50ml white wine
few sprigs of manjericão (basil)
salt and pepper to taste
Skin and seed the tomatoes,Set aside.
Chop the onion and the garlic.
In a pan heat the olive oil and the oil from the tin of anchovies.Add the onion and garlic and cook until they are soft and golden.Stir in the anchovies until they break up and melt.Add the tomatoes,stick of celery and the leek.Leave to cook until reduced to a thick sauce.
Using the thin noodle attachment on the spiralizer or the vegetable peeler create long twirls of pasta-like vegetable noodles.
Remove the celery stick and leek and strain the sauce through apasse-vite or blend in the pan with a stick blender.In the pan bring back to the heat,add the basil leaves,season with salt and pepper to your taste.Add the prawns and cook briefly then add the courgette noodles and cook for another 30 seconds.tip the sauce and noodles into abowl and bring to the table immediately with a bowl of grated parmesan for garnish.
When selecting courgettes just remember, the smaller the courgette the better the flavour. Courgettes can reach marrow-size surprisingly quickly - and if you are growing your own no one wants their veg patch to star in its own Day of the Triffids remake... The mutant courgette that wins the horticultural show is not always the tastiest.
Summer courgetti and meatballs
Follow the method as above but substitute meat balls for the prawns
Courgetti putanesca
Spaghetti alla putanesca is an old school italian recipe literally translated as "tarts Spaghetti"Its no wonder its been around forever,that slutty sauce is to lie for.
Use your favourite putanesca recipe and stir through courgette noodles at the end.

O leão a bruxa e malagueta pérola preta

Chilli peppers originated in the Americas. After the Columbian Exchange, many cultivars of chilli pepper spread across the world,being used in both food and medicine. Chillies were brought to Asia by Portuguese navigators during the 16th century. Upon their introduction into Europe, chillies were grown as botanical curiosities in the gardens of Spanish and Portuguese monasteries. But the monks experimented with their culinary potential and discovered that their pungency offered a substitute for black peppercorns, which at the time were so costly that they were used as legal currency in some countries. There are peppers that can awake people from the dead and there are peppers that are a deadly threat to life, but one in particular, the black pearl chilli,which originated in Mexico has such an enchanting beauty its binding spell made us purchase it and take it home thinking it was just another ornamental bush for the garden.Things are seldom what they seem.  The plant has an eery beauty.Its mesmerising shiny pearls make one imagine it having been created by the White witch- queen of Narnia to attract children, before getting their greedy tongues set on fire.The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was always one of my favourite childhood stories. Surprisingly for once ,if you went back into the closet you came out queer.Now there´s a thought.
Part of what makes the Witch so creepily evil is that she's not what she seems. In the real world, we're used to appearances being deceptive. But in Narnia, the way things look is the way they really are, and the outside usually expresses the true nature of things.
On research not only did we discover that its fruit was edible but also that the fruits of ‘Black Pearl’ are  intensely flavoured, producing enough “heat” to register at about 300,000 on the Scoville heat units scale,( a measurement of the amount of capsaicin present in plant tissues). (Capsaicin is the ingredient in pepper spray used as an irritant weapon; it’s also effective at keeping African elephants from foraging on crops).That makes it tantamount to the Scotch bonnet, habanero and Guyana wiri wiri chilis.The plant is native to much of South America and Mexico, but in Europe performs wonderfully in a container all summer...This pepper is very enticing to children and some adults, who can find that the oil is detrimental to their eyes.It´s capsaicin is one of the worst on your skin and burns horribly.As a result, should you elect to grow this beautiful plant, do not allow children,or pets to touch the fruit.The beauty of the plant can be dangerous to those not informed.for those who know however and enjoy incendiary cuisine,this is the one for you.but first a bit of incendiary advice...

How do you say to your child in the night?
Nothing's all black, but then nothing's all white
How do you say it will all be all right
When you know that it might not be true?
What do you do?
Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
Children may not obey, but children will listen
Stephen Sondheim, Into the woods

Well,thats enough of fairy tales and enchantment. The immature berry-size fruits are quite firm, but as they ripen and turn red, they’ll also soften and present a hazard. Even the juices from a soft fruit will burn skin; and if one should fall and be attractive to pets, you can expect quite a reaction. If you can remember not to squeeze the ripe fruits, and keep curious animals away, you should be happy with ‘Black Pearl’. Make sure you wash your hands well after preparing, slicing and chopping the Black Pearl chilli.Do not rub your eyes...What’s more, you won’t be bothered by elephants.
The Black Pearl  and other chillies are also astonishingly good for you. Black Pearl Peppers stimulate the metabolism. They fight cancer. They help diabetics. They are vitamin-rich and contain immune-boosting antioxidants.Ironically I have not been able to find a recipe using them, so since it originates from Mexico I thought I would  test its degree of agression by making a fiery Mexican salsa, followed by a Black Pearl punchy panzanella.So if you are looking for a meal with a kick,something slow burning and with a robust flavour here´s your red hot sultry date for the evening, along with a tribute to Britain´s much loved Cilla Black who died last week.

"What’s your name and where d’ya come from?"
I´m black pearl and I´m from down mexico way
 "And here’s our Graham with a quick reminder about the recipes."

Black pearl mexican style salsa
6 large seeded chopped peeled tomatoes
2 cups seeded chopped green peppers
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1 1/2 teaspoon Flor de sal

2 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 cups cider or wine vinegar
2 large Red Jalapenos (chopped)
2 Cayenne (chopped)
2 Black Pearls
3 Sticks of chopped celery
Pepper (to taste)

Stir all together to taste in a large bowl and set aside to rest in the refrigerator.

Black pearl punchy panzanella
serves 4-6
When I made the salsa it was heavy on moisture content and therefore great for a panzanella.There is always debate about whether the day old bread should be moistened with water or vinegar.I´m with the latter and strained the vinegar from my salsa over the torn bread which constituted my salad.This gave it an invigorating zip of vinegar, which makes all the others seem bland. There's no competition here: vinegar it is.Although a good panzanella should retain some texture, you don't want the bread to remain dry and chewy.

1 quantity black pearl mexican salsa (recipe above)
225g/8oz coarse open textured day old breadhandful fresh torn basil
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
50g/2oz can anchovy fillets
1/2 cucumber peeled and cut into cubes
handful fresh mint coarsely chopped
handful parsley chopped
home made celery salt
and pepper to season

Tear the bread into chunky pieces and put in a salad bowl.Sprinkle with a tablespoon of strained vinegar from the salsa and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.Set aside
while you make the rest of the salad.Bring all the ingredients together tossing the slsa vigorously  with the soaked bread in a salad bowl and adjust the moisture content adding more olive oil and salsa strained vinegar if necessary.

´Tis summer, the season of sardines and Sriracha

Surprise ,Surprise!!!
One of the (many) joys of writing a cookery blog is that the recipes can be 'of the moment', a fleeting idea, a temporary distraction from the hum drum repetition of home cooking we do week-in, week-out.
Beauty is in the can of the beholder
What we are likely to eat in the summer is connected more directly with the weather than at any other time of the year.Living in Portugal, grilled sardines, tomatoes, cheese and lettuce immediately spring to mind.These ingredients are inextricably linked with high summer.When temperatures are soaring daily into the nineties ( 33/34 F ) all I want to eat for my lunch or supper is salad.I love sardines but I never quite know what to prepare them with.The word “sardine” by itself is enough to put most people off. Pair “sardine” with “salad” in the same sentence  and I know half of you will be about to opt out of reading this post.The Casa Rosada  store cupboard always has stacks of canned sardines and tuna on its shelves.Usually canned sardines are thought of as a last resort for when you can’t be bothered to cook and crave an answer that is a languid lunch.
Sardines are like the win-win fish for me. They’re low in mercury, high in omega-3 fatty acids (as well as iron, calcium, and potassium), inexpensive, and sustainably-fished. Though fresh sardines taste better, canned sardines are good too,( and less smelly ).
I want to give good old Portuguese sardines some column inches.We recently had canned sardines on bruschetta for lunch in a local boutique hotel. Watch out, sardines on toast might be making an up market come back.Another restaurant had sardines stuffed with breadcrumbs and creamy feta cheese on its menu.This one got me thinking.I recently cooked aubergine and feta cheese fritters for some vegetarian guests.I topped them with a Chilli coriander chutney.My favourite variety of canned sardine is in Molho picante ( a spicy tomato sauce that reminds me of a childhood favourite - canned pilchards).
So why not Sardine Fritters with a hot chilli sriracha sauce.My Thai style pork meatballs with dipping sauce always go down a storm so I now thought I would try Thai style fish balls with a home made ketchup-killing condiment *Sriracha.(See-Rotch-ah.)

Bolinhas de sardinha com molho sriracha-soy
Sardine Fritters with Sriracha-Soy Sauce
Makes 24 cocktail sized balls
To make the sauce
2 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 tbsp soya sauce
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Whisk  all together together in a small bowl.

To make the fritters
2 tins of sardines
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
small bunch parsley, chopped
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp grated parmesan
25g feta cheese crumbled
A handful of lettuce leaves
fresh lemon juice and wedges for garnish

Mix together the tins of sardines, eggs, finely chopped garlic, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs,  grated Parmesanand feta in a large bowl. Heat about an inch of oil in a large frying pan till it spits when you put a test crumb in. Make small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter) of the sardine mixture and fry for three to four minutes until golden brown, turning them occasionally with tongs. Place the fritters on a plate with a kitchen towel underneath to absorb the oil.
Serve on lettuce leaves with the Sriracha-soy sauce in a small dipping bowl and some fresh lemon wedges.

*Sriracha (Thai: ศรีราชา,  [sǐː rāː.t͡ɕʰāː] ) is a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. It is named after the coastal city of Si Racha, in Chonburi Province of eastern Thailand
In Thailand, sriracha is frequently used as a dipping sauce, particularly for seafood. In Vietnamese cuisine, sriracha appears as a condiment for phở, fried noodles, a topping for spring rolls (chả giò), and in sauces.
Sriracha is also eaten on soup, eggs and burgers. Jams, lollipops, and cocktails have all been made using the sauce, and sriracha-flavoured potato chips have been marketed.

Tortellini en brodo Sinatra (my way)

"tortellini, small pasta shapes stuffed with minced (ground) chicken, pork,prosciutto,mortadella,parmesan
and all the other usual flavourings such as nutmeg".

Although tortellini are always to be had in restaurants,the homemade version is for festive occasions and, in particular, a dish for Christmas Eve only. The reason being their confection is a rather tricky job and entails hours of dedicated hard graft requiring some practice.From my own point of view I love them but I feel life is too short to curl a bit of stuffed pasta dough round my pinkie. I would rather leave that task to an accomplished commis chef.From time to time I have a commercially packed version in the fridge for a midweek supper and on my last visit to the supemercado I found a particularly good quality brand that was on offer." en brodo" is my favoured way of eating Tortellini and last night I thought that having been saved the bother of making my own version of these little "navel shaped" parcels I would try my hand at putting all my energies into making a "brodo" that would do justice to my pre-packed pasta. I remembered seeing two containers of home made chicken stock in one of the freezer drawers.( Sometimes lurking freezer gremlins can earn their keep and come in handy just at the right time) I trolled tinternet for an authentic recipe but whose would I use,influenced by the fact that I already had the core stock?
Many cooks and chefs receive their first culinary experience from their mother,as was my case.I settled on making my own version of how chef Emeril Lagasse whose Portuguese mother Hilda gave him his first experience,working in a Portuguese bakery, where he mastered the art of bread and pastry baking.
Tortellini en Brodo Sinatra (my way)
It was like the old trick of trying to palm off a Marks and Spencer´s ready meal as your own.Emeril´s version of brodo retained all the constituents of the stock without straining them.My version was to be a clearer version ( the more traditional way).Slightly cloudy it may have been but delicious it turned out to be.Thank you Emeril for the starting point.

United States Supreme Court

WALLING v. NASHVILLE, C. & ST. L. RY., (1947)

No. 335

Argued: January 17, 1947    Decided: February 17, 1947

Mr. William S. Tyson, of Washington, D.C., for petitioner.

Mr. Walton Whitwell, of Nashville, Tenn., for respondent. [330 U.S. 158, 159]

Mr. Justice BLACK delivered the opinion of the Court.

The petitioner, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, United States Department of Labor, filed this action in a Federal District Court to enjoin alleged violations by the respondent railroad of 15(a)(2) and 15(a)(5) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 52 Stat. 1060, 1068, 29 U.S.C.A . 15(a)(2, 5). These sections require that minimum wages be paid to employees covered by the Act and that appropriate records be kept concerning their employment and pay. The railroad was charged with having violated the Act with regard to two types of alleged employees: First, persons in training to become yard and main line firemen, brakemen, and switchmen; second, others in training to become clerks, stenographers, callers, messengers, and other similar general miscellaneous workers. The District Court held that the first group were not 'employees' and therefore were not covered by the Act, 29 U.S.C.A. 201 et seq. On this ground alone the injunction was denied as to them. It also denied relief as to the second group, clerks, etc., partly on this same ground. Another ground for denying relief as to the second group was the court's finding that the railroad 'for several years past has been complying with the Act as to them, and apparently intends in good faith to do so in the future.' D.C., 60 F.Supp. 1004, 1007, 1008. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. 6 Cir., 155 F.2d 1016, one judge dissenting. We granted certiorari because of the importance of the questions decided. 329 U.S. 696 , 67 S.Ct. 85.

The finding of the District Court that the railroad had been complying with the Act in good faith in its business relations with the trainee clerks, stenographers, etc. is not challenged. No argument is here made that this is not adequate support for denial of the relief granted as to [330 U.S. 158, 160]   this second group. Under these circumstances, we affirm the court's action in denying an injunction to enjoin violations of the Act as to these trainees. We therefore do not reach the question as to whether this group as a whole or any of the persons in it were or were not employees under the Act.

The sole ground for denying relief as to the persons training to become firemen, brakemen, and switchmen was that they were not employees. The findings of fact here as to be training of these trainees are in all relevant respects practically identical with the findings of fact in Walling v. Portland Terminal Company, 330 U.S. 148 , 67 S.Ct. 639, this day decided. These findings of fact are not challenged. For the reasons set out in that opinion we hold that the Circuit Court of Appeals was not in error in holding that the persons receiving training in order to become qualified for employment as firemen, brakemen, and switchmen, are not employees within the meaning of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Dissertation Requirements: A minimum registration of 18 semester hours is required for the dissertation. After passing the comprehensive examinations, taken at or near the completion of the course work, the student must submit a project topic suitable for a doctoral dissertation in the form known as the prospectus. The prospectus must be approved by the advisory committee. The advisory committee (the same committee as the comprehensive exams committee) is composed of three graduate faculty members, two from the area of music education and the third from the elective area. Once the prospectus is approved, a fourth committee member, a faculty member from outside the music department is added. Please consult the graduate coordinator for these procedures.

Eric Church to Play Free Makeup Show for Taste of Country Fans in Buffalo

Eric Church
Rick Diamond, Getty Images

Eric Church is sorry he couldn’t see you on Friday, Buffalo, but he’s going to make it up to you. Heavy rain and high winds — and thus, unsafe conditions — forced WYRK to cut short their annual Taste of Country concert on Friday (June 1), and many fans went home disappointed.

The ‘Springsteen’ hitmaker was bummed too, and that’s why he plans to play a free makeup show for all ticket-holders who missed out on his set. “We sat there all day waiting to go,” Church told the radio station on Monday morning. “We were all bummed, like everybody in the stadium. Just a bad situation, you know.”

Church was scheduled to perform on Friday following Casey James, Dustin Lynch, Eli Young Band and Joe Nichols. By the time he was due to take the stage, all 24,000 fans were shouting his name. Unfortunately, the weather had worsened — the wind blowing so strong that it knocked over industrial-sized trash cans, sending trash fluttering across the Buffalo Bisons’ field.

“The good news is, we’re coming back and we’re coming back soon,” Church added during his Monday chat. “We’re going to do a show for everybody for free. Everybody who’s got their ticket gets in.” The singer promised Buffalo fans that the makeup show will happen “ASAP,” and that it could be as soon as this month or early July. “We’re just trying to make sure that we do the right thing by everybody.”

“It’s a little bit of a new world, you know. There’s been events that people know about that have happened in the past outdoors,” Church said, referencing last summer’s tragic stage collapse involving Sugarland.

“We were ready to go. The decision was made, it was unsafe,” he concluded. “It was fine from a rain standpoint. That was never a concern. It was the wind. I didn’t come all the way there to sit on a bus all day, so I’m excited to get up there and re-do the show.”

Stay tuned to Taste of Country for more details regarding the free Eric Church Taste of Country makeup concert in Buffalo, N.Y.

Warm but Thin Enough for Spring I bought this top during a clearance sale. Love it. Very comfortable and cut. I'm very top heavy and this fits with no problems. March 22, 2013
Good fit but shrinks in laundry I bought a size bigger than normal and it shrunk down to my true size after 1 wash on delicate cycle. I've had this happen to most of my knit tops purchased through Catherines. The red and purple are vibrant in color and the fit is comfortable. It's a steal of a deal for less than $15 during one of their extra 60% off sales. February 14, 2013
SHRINKS!! Very disappointed! Wore it once, loved the purple color with silver trim, and it was comfortable. I washed on delicate in cold and threw it in the dryer for a few minutes and it shrunk in the length and arms....wore it again today and ended up taking it off and putting it in the Goodwill bag....I won't wear it like this! Wondering if this is why it was 60% off?! February 9, 2013
Disappointed I really love the style of this top but am so disappointed because I washed according to the washing instructions and it shrunk in length. I won't wear it because I don't think its flattering now. January 29, 2013

Love this gorgeous dress! I bought this dress online to wear at a conference for my job, and got so many compliments! It fits and feels great, and is very easy to pack. The only thing to note: while the background of the pattern looks BLACK, the bands of trim around the neck, waist, and down the front are definitely NAVY.

    Copy pointer address to buffer and convert it back

    I,m quite new to C and I was wondering the following:

    I have this large buffer in which I wish to store some data. One of the things I would like to store in this buffer is the address of a pointer instead of the value, like following example:

    char size[7] = "000015";
    char* buffer = (char*) malloc(15 * sizeof(char));
    sprintf(buffer, "Lots of text...");
    int buffer_size = 6 + sizeof(char*);
    char* block_buffer = (char*) malloc(buffer_size * sizeof(char));
    Memory addresses are 4 bytes on my system, so I would like my block_buffer to contain "000015XXXX" where XXXX is the memory address of buffer.

    Any idea how i do this?

    And afterwards, when I split the block_buffer back up into size and address, how can i convert that address back to a char* containing the original "Lots of text..." data?

    If someone could explain to my if this is possible or not, or what would be the better approach, that would be a great help.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not really sure why you'd want to, and you'll potentially ruin what you are trying to make be a string, but what the heck. There are many ways to do this. Here's a fun one:
    union u
        unsignedfourbytedatatypeofyourchoice p;
        char *c;
    } x;
    x.c = block_buffer;
    x.p = &block_buffer;

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Perhaps you could tell us why you need to do this. There probably would be better way.

    Well, there is this cobol program which will call my C-routine, this program will supply 1 block of data as a parameter by reference. For the sake of the example this block will contain a size and a memory address (+ some other 'fields') "000015XXXX.....". This memory address points to a giant block of text which the user will be able to edit in my C-program, so lots of reallocs could occur. Afterwards i will need to update the referenced parameter with the new size and new memory address, so the Cobol will be able to read the new text block from memory.

    So the flow would be:

    1) Cobol allocates memory for some text with length 500 at address 0001.
    2) Cobol calls my C-routine with parameter "0005000001" by reference.
    3) My C-routine will need to retrieve the text from the "0001" address.
    4) User changes text, and fe adds 100 chars, so realloc to length 600 at address 0002.
    5) At the end of my routine I need to convert the text pointer back to a char representation of the memory address and update the parameter to "0006000002".
    6) Cobol continues with those values.

    At the moment I want a test C-routine which replaces the cobol and calls my other C-routine with a valid parameter. This is why I want to know how to do steps 3 and 5.

    I hope this is a bit clear, since it is quite a complicated problem, and I'm not sure if this is the right approach...

    Even though, thx for your input.

    If I understand the idea, you're passing a string back and forth. That string has two values - a length and address.

    If so, sprintf/sscanf is the way to go here. Assuming you control both programs the format is up to you so make it easy to parse.

    Now why would you want to go and dig up Cobol's grave? Can't you let that language die in peace?
    A better approach would be to rewrite it in C.

Facebook IPO Priced at $38 Per Share

Facebook has priced its initial public offering of stock at $38 per share, at the high end of its expected range.

The 421,233,615 shares are expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on May 18, 2012, under the symbol "FB." Facebook is offering 180,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and selling stockholders are offering 241,233,615 shares of Class A common stock. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on May 22, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.

In addition, Facebook and the selling stockholders have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 63,185,042 additional shares of Class A common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

The IPO values the company at around $104 billion.

Facebook's 2011 revenue was $3.7 billion. Google, whose revenue stood at $38 billion last year, has a market capitalization of $207 billion.

Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Goldman, Sachs & Co., BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Allen & Company LLC, Citigroup, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank Securities are serving as book runners for the offering. RBC Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities are serving as active co-managers.

Although Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is selling about 30 million shares, he will remain Facebook's largest shareholder. He set up two classes of Facebook stock, ensuring that he and other executives keep control.

School-based programs

Violence-induced trauma, sadly, is a regular intruder in lives of school-age children in Los Angeles. While teachers and other education professionals recognize that children’s emotional health impacts their ability to learn, state funding for school-based counseling services has been nearly eliminated.

For these and other reasons, our programs to help at–risk and traumatized children have never been more vital.

What’s Ava Wearing Today? – Monkeybar Buddies

What's Ava Wearing Today?, Monkeybar Buddies

Ava is wearing Violet leggings from Monkeybar Buddies.

My little toddler loves to crawl, jump, bounce and run, so she needs clothing that will move with her. That is why I love Monkeybar Buddies.

Monkeybar Buddies designs shorts, leggings, capris and diaper covers that are practical for young girls. Their pieces are created not to bunch, or stick to dresses, or look bulky under skirts. Not only can my little girl look stylish, but she can tumble, swing, jump, and climb like a kid while wearing dresses and skirts!

Celebrity children are no different and that is why their famous parents love to dress their little girls in Moneybar Buddies clothing.

On Oct. 25, Jessica Alba was spotted carrying her 15-month-old daughter Haven Warren who wore a diaper cover from Monkeybar Buddies with her pretty pink dress.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner‘s eldest daughter Violet Affleck also loves the brand. In the January 2012 issue of InStyle, the mom of three opens up about her last argument:

“I’m sure it was with Violet. We argued about whether she should wear leggings or Monkeybar buddies under her dress. She Won.”

Cute baby but…..I have no idea who this is! The same goes for Penn Jilette. Maybe in the future you could tell us non Americans what they’re famous for :)
