ADVOCATING FOR CHILDREN WITH FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME DISORDERS
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders GenerallyPrenatal alcohol exposure can cause life altering neurodevelopmental disabilities, referred to in the aggregate as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders (FASD). "FASD" is an umbrella term, not a diagnosis. The identifiable conditions associated with
prenatal alcohol exposure under the FASD umbrella are Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (PFAS), Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder
(ARND) and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD).
FAS DiagnosisAn FAS diagnosis connotes impairments in three categories:
1) growth deficiency;
2) central nervous system dysfunction (developmental disability or brain damage); and
3) a characteristic set of facial dysmorphology or malformation.
Prenatal alcohol exposure can also cause:
heart, lung, and kidney defects; hyperactivity, attention, and memory problems; reasoning, judgment and behavioral problems;poor coordination or motor skill delays;
hypersensitivity to sound and touch; difficulty with change; organizational difficulties; poor self-image; depression or withdrawal; problems with truancy; and problems with sexuality.
FASD Effects Are Life-LongAccording to the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, infants with an FASD suffer from low birth weight; irritability; sensory sensitivity; poor sucking; slow
development; poor sleep-wake cycles; and increased ear infections. Toddlers with FASD suffer from poor memory capability, hyperactivity, fearlessness, no sense of boundaries, and the need for excessive physical contact.
Grade-school children with an FASD tend to have short attention spans, poor coordination, and difficulty with both fine and gross motor skills. Older children with an FASD have difficulty keeping up in school and tend to suffer from low self-esteem, and teenagers with an FASD often demonstrate poor impulse control and cannot distinguish between public and private behaviors.
An FASD is 100% PreventableAccording to the Institute of Medicine, "Of all the substances of abuse (including cocaine, heroin and marijuana), alcohol produces by far the most serious neurobehavioral effects in the fetus." Institute of Medicine, 1996. FASD can be prevented if a pregnant woman abstains from drinking alcohol. FASD does not discriminate. If a woman consumes alcohol during her pregnancy, she is at risk of having a child with an FASD. Women who have an alcohol dependence or other alcohol use disorder are at an increased risk of having a child with an FASD, as are women who have previously given birth to a child with an FASD and who continue to drink alcohol.
Strategies for Assisting Children with an FASDThere is a dearth of evidence-based knowledge on the effectiveness of FASD interventions, but according to NoFAS, children with an FASD can benefit from supportive environments, consistent routines, limited stimulation, realistic expectations, supervision, and multi-sensory learning. Medication may also reduce the symptoms of FASD, including impulsivity, hyperactivity, oppositional behavior, and sleep disorders. See http://www.nofas.org/
No Amount of Prenatal Alcohol Consumption is SafeAccording to the CDC and current studies, no amount of alcohol is safe - and there is no safe time to drink during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and cannot stop drinking, call you doctor and/or use the substance abuse treatment services locator and/or mental health treatment services locator at http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/.

Did you know that choir practice is healthier than yoga?
If you are an amateur singer passionate about classical music with some prior experience of choral performance, treat yourself to an uplifting workshop on 27th October in the atmospheric surroundings of St Cuthbert's Church, and come and see what this feel-good choral craze is all about – it's the perfect opportunity to exercise and socialise!
This one-day workshop will explore Portuguese composer
Duarte Lobo’s eight-part Requiem. Published as the last work in his 1621 collection of Masses, this work epitomises the skill of this Portuguese Master who grew up in Evora and went on to direct the Cathedral Choirs both there and in Lisbon. He elegantly weaves the eight voices in a style which pays homage to Palestrina’s smooth control as well as reflecting the genius of Victoria and Guerrero. If you have enjoyed Victoria’s Requiem in the past then this will be a fascinating exploration of the same text.
You’ll be amazed how quickly you can learn a new piece with the help of our friendly conductor Patrick Craig - one of the UK's most sought-after Renaissance choral directors. A countertenor and graduate of Cambridge University and the RCM, and a former member of the Tallis Scholars, Patrick has conducted at the Lichfield Festival and BBC Proms, and now sings with the award-winning group, The Cardinall's Musick. He is also Vicar Choral at St Paul's Cathedral, as well as conducting the UK's leading all-female choir, Aurora Nova. A frequent and especially popular collaborator with Lacock Courses, Patrick has also run workshops worldwide for the Early Music Academy, Beverley Early Music Festival and RunbySingers.

State lawmakers target Salt Lake City's anti-idling law
Laura Seitz, Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah House approved a bill Friday that prohibits local governments from enacting ordinances that target idling vehicles.
HB104 aims to trump a new Salt Lake City law that makes it illegal to leave a car idling for more than two minutes. The House bill now moves to the Senate.
"We give authority to local entities and at certain times we take that back when we find it's inconsistent with state policy," said bill sponsor Rep. Wayne Harper, R-West Jordan.
Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Salt Lake, opposed the measure, saying the Legislature shouldn't be micromanaging cities.
The Salt Lake City Council approved its ordinance in October making idling of vehicles engines a crime punishable by a fine of between $50 and $210, depending on the number of offenses and how quickly fines are paid. City leaders said the goal is to improve air quality in Salt Lake Valley, where more than 50 percent of air pollution comes from vehicle exhaust.

Senator Loren Legarda reiterated the importance of prioritizing disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation on the list of National Government programs.
“The President’s agenda is clearly aimed at creating a culture of responsible citizenship and responsible governance. A fundamental way to institute this reform is to lead the road to disaster-resilient governance - pursuing a comprehensive program that will address the ill effects of disasters and climate change on health, hunger and malnutrition, agriculture and fisheries, jobs and livelihoods, natural resources and energy,” stated Legarda.
She also added that "The National Greening Program, the National Renewable Energy Program, the Project NOAH, and the Geo-Hazard Mapping Project are welcome developments in our efforts to build disaster and climate-resilient communities. The Geo-Hazard Mapping Project in particular, if utilized, will ensure that we do not place our people, mostly the poor and vulnerable, their homes and livelihoods in high-risk areas, as identified in the maps.” However, Senator Legarda urged the government to implement the already existing laws on solid waste management, climate change and disaster preparedness.


The Amelia to Honor Rick Hendrick in 2024
The Amelia, a concours held annually at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island in Amelia Island, Florida, will honor Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports, during the 2024 event. Hendrick is the winningest team owner in NASCAR Cup Series history.
Founded in 1984, Hendrick Motorsports has accumulated 14 championships and 301 points-paying race victories at the NASCAR Cup Series level with drivers including Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Terry Labonte, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024, Hendrick Motorsports now fields four cars in the Cup Series piloted by Alex Bowman, William Byron, Elliott and Larson.
"For my entire life, I've loved automobiles and racing. The Amelia is truly a celebration of both of those passions," Hendrick said. "The list of past honorees is filled with names I respect and admire, and it's incredibly humbling to be mentioned in the same breath. The wonderful success our organization has enjoyed has only been possible because of the many, many people who helped build it over the years. I look forward to experiencing The Amelia and sharing this very special honor with all of them."

The Cambridge Quintet by John L. Casti, Little, Brown, £16.99, ISBN
IN 1959, C. P. Snow warned about the widening gulf between the sciences and
humanities. As this gulf enlarges, it becomes more urgent to explore and express
scientific ideas in ways that make explicit their relevance to and impact on
human psychological and social needs. The thought-provoking approach in The
Cambridge Quintet, John Casti’s “scientific fiction” about the beginnings
of artificial intelligence theory, is one of which Snow himself might well have
The fictional story occurs in the oppressive and contrived setting of a
Cambridge dinner party held by Snow for four “great minds”—Alan Turing,
Ludwig Wittgenstein, J. B. S. Haldane and Erwin Schrödinger—to
investigate the feasibility of duplicating human thought in a machine.
Each course served by Snow’s manservant, Simmons, heralds a new round of
virtuoso but ultimately sterile and esoteric discourse, with Turing and
Wittgenstein at loggerheads and the others on the fence, all showing remarkable
insensitivity for one another’s feelings and backgrounds. The upshot is a lack
of real communication and movement which nonetheless, aided by Casti’s
hindsight, presages many issues in AI theory, including the distinction between
processing and understanding information and the influence of language and
social interaction on thought.
Besides presenting ideas in a novel and scholarly way, I was unsure what
Casti wanted to achieve in The Cambridge Quintet. He concludes,
cautiously, that capturing human cognition within a machine is very problematic,
and that humans and machines have distinct forms of intelligence that will take
them in different directions.
As an exposition of scientific exchange, I suspect the book will be as
off-putting to the majority as it may be inspiring to a few. As historical or
social analysis, it appears prejudiced by the kind of discretist logic and
hindsight used all too readily to identify exceptional hero-figures rather than
social context as the causal agents of intellectual development. Moreover, I
think the use of real historical personalities who may not have chosen the words
put in their mouths undermines the unconstrained exploration of ideas which
offers the most promising role for scientific fiction.

THE DISAPPEARING FACE OF NEW YORK
MURRAY, JAMES T.
The Disappearing Face of New York is a visual guide to New York Citys timeworn storefronts, a collection of powerful images that capture the neighborhood spirit, familiarity, comfort and warmth that these shops once embodied. Almost all of these businesses are a reflection of New Yorks early immigrant population, a wild mix of Irish, Germans, Jews, Italians, Poles, Eastern Europeans and later Hispanics and Chinese.
The variety is immense from Manhattans Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery and Katzs Delicatessen to the Jackson Heights Florist in Queens, Court Street Pastry in Brooklyn, D. DAuria and Sons Pork Store in the Bronx and the De Luca General Store on Staten Island. And as the Murrays stunning, large format photographs make patently clear, the face of New York is etched in their facades.

Brisbane is nature’s playground, with the coast to the east and the Great Dividing Range to the west. The Scenic Rim region is a prosperous rural enclave set in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range. Surrounded by national parks, World Heritage Listed rainforest and farmlands, the area is known for its majestic scenery rivalling other mountain ranges in Australia, yet the region remains largely undiscovered.
The Great Dividing Range is the world’s third longest land-based range in the world, spanning some 3,500 kilometres running the entire length of the east coast of Australia. There are three World Heritage Areas in the range – Wet Tropics of Queensland in the north, The Greater Blue Mountains area in the south and the Gondwana Rainforests.


Eagles Bounce Back Against Dooly
The Eagles of Montgomery County High School hosted Dooly County last Friday night for a make up game from earlier in the season that was postponed due to COVID. It was a good night for the Eagles as they bounced back from the loss the week before and picked up the Region victory over the Bobcats.
MCHS took over with 7:50 in the first after forcing a punt by Dooly. They started their drive at their 33-yard line. Brandon Denmark had a good run, and then a pass from Bo Davidson to Denmark moved the ball across midfield. Xavier Brantley had a solid run, and then worked it to the 31 for another first down. The Eagles got another first down on a pass interference. At the start of the second quarter they were facing a fourth down and were stopped and turned it over on down at the Dooly 17yard line.

MCHS again forced a punt, and it was shanked, with the Eagles taking over at the Dooly 25-yard line. Just a few plays later Davidson hit Brantley down to the 6-yard line. On the next play Kristian Boyer went in for the touchdown with 8:20 left in the first half. The extra point went off the upright, but the Eagles were on top 6-0. The Eagles' defense again forced a punt, but on the kick the ball was touched by MCHS and Dooly recovered it out near midfield. Dooly connected on a pass and moved the ball all the way to the 19yard line. But three big penalties against the Bobcats backed them up to the 46. Dooly punted the ball and MCHS took over at their 10yard line. On the first play Denmark broke through a huge hole in the middle opened up by the offensive line. He was nearly tripped up at the 40, but kept his balance and went all the way, 90 yards, for the touchdown. The extra point was again missed, but MCHS was up 12-0 with 2:32 left in the first half.
The Eagles squibbed the ensuing kickoff and almost got on it, but Dooly fell on it at their 35-yard line. A penalty on the kick moved them back to the 20. On the first play the Bobcats fumbled the ball with Cameron Wallace getting on it at the 27-yard line.
A big run on first down by Boyer took it to the 18-yard line. Denmark took it to the 10, and Boyer got it to the 7 with just 54 seconds left in the half. Davidson kept the ball and went up the middle for the touchdown with 49 seconds on the clock. They went for the two-point conversion with Davidson connecting with Samari Madison for the try, making the score 20-0.
The Eagles kicked the ball away, and the defense got a quick stop and Dooly punted the ball away with just 10 seconds to go. MCHS decided to try to get another quick score instead of just taking a knee. A run by Boyer took it across midfield to the Dooly 40-yard line and the Eagles called timeout with 3.7 seconds on the clock. On the next play Brantley sprinted to the end zone, and Davidson fired up a jump ball for him with the buzzer sounding while the ball was in the air. Brantley out leaped two Dooly defenders and came down with the ball in the end zone for the touchdown. Again they missed the extra point, but the Eagles led 26-0 at halftime. The Eagles did not put any more points on the board in the second half of the game, but Dooly did find the end zone with just over two minutes to go in the game on a 13-yard touchdown pass. They kicked the extra point, but the Eagles took the win, 26-7.
MCHS held Dooly to just 125 total yards in the game while putting up 387 yards. Davidson threw for 85 yards on the night. Denmark led the way on the ground with 129 yards with Boyer adding 62, and Brantley had 68 receiving yards. This week is Homecoming week for the Eagles as they host Johnson County at 7:30 p.m. On Friday night. MCHS is now 4-1 on the season and Johnson County comes into the game with a 3-1 record.

King County Roads
King County Road Services Division crews are currently reporting very hazardous driving conditions along with several road closures. Most of the county's road response has focused on plowing and sanding. In many parts of the county, the snow has come down so hard and fast, snow response has been mostly confined to heavily traveled arterials in the county.
Currently eight roads are closed, including:
• SE. Lake Holmes Rd. between Auburn-Black Diamond Rd. and 129th Way SE near Auburn
• 103 Ave. SW. between SW. 112th St. and Vashon Hwy SW., Vashon
• 87 Ave. SW. between Dockton Rd. and SW. Cemetery Rd., Vashon
• SW. 268th St. between 94 Ave. SW. and Dockton Rd. SW., Vashon
• 58th Pl. S. between West Valley Hwy. S. and 55th Ave. S. near Algona
• 56th Pl. S. between 55th Pl. S. and West Valley Hwy. S. near Algona
• S. Star Lake Rd. between S. 277th St. and 52nd Ave. S. near Auburn
• 55th Ave. S. between S. 277th St. and S. 284th Way near Auburn
Motorists should continue to monitor travel conditions and road closures by visiting King County's MyCommute website. About 150 field staff continue to work twelve-hour shifts to support 24-hour operations countywide. That around-the-clock schedule will continue until conditions improve. The county has about 50 pieces of snow removal equipment (ranging from snowplows and sanders to anti-icing vehicles) available to maintain 1300 miles of urban, suburban and rural roads in unincorporated King County.
While county crews will continue to tend to snow and ice, roadways can quickly refreeze. Steep roads, less traveled roads and bridges can be particularly hazardous, especially at night and during the early morning hours as commuters head out to work. For more information about the King County Road Services Division's snow and ice plan online.
If residents must leave home to get on the roads in the morning, check local traffic cameras to be aware of conditions: https://info.kingcounty.gov/transportation/kcdot/Roads/TrafficCameras/allcameras/
Use Caution When Clearing Snow
Snow mixed with rain falling on the deep, heavy snow already around the region can create a potential hazard by growing snow loads on rooftops, which could lead to structural collapse or sliding snow.
Most new structures are built to withstand typical snow load events in King County. However buildings and structures with flat roofs are at a greater risk of collapse. With wet snow or ice the risk is higher as the loads are much heavier than regular snow.
The King County Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) urges the following precautions:
- If a roof (whether flat or sloped) is in eminent danger of collapse, stay away from the structure and call 9-1-1 for emergency help.
- Removing snow from your roof with a shovel can trigger unexpected snow slides causing crushing/suffocating injuries or death. Keep people and animals away from potential slide zones. It is strongly recommend not to access your roof to clear snow. The use of ladders when removing snow from your roof can pose additional hazards. Climbing on a roof increases the load already stressed by the heavy snow load. Consider hiring experts who have experience and specialized equipment for safely clearing snow or ice.
- Clear any accumulation of snow around side wall vents for appliances.
If you are in unincorporated King County, the Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) can conduct safety assessments and damage inspections of your house. Contact DDES at 206-296-6630 Monday - Friday 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. to schedule an inspection. For inspections on buildings inside city limits, you must contact the city directly.
Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning can kill you. Carbon monoxide gas comes from burning fuels such as gasoline, propane, oil, kerosene, natural gas, coal or wood.
Prevent poisoning from carbon monoxide:
- Only use a generator outdoors and far from open windows and vents
- Never use a generator or portable propane heater indoors, in garages or carports
- Never cook or heat inside on a charcoal or gas grill.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen suddenly and without warning. Physical symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include splitting headache, nausea and vomiting, and lethargy and fatigue.
If you believe you could be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, get fresh air immediately. Call for medical help from a neighbor's home. The Fire Department will tell you when it is safe to reenter the home.
For a full list of carbon monoxide prevention tips and other safety and disaster information in English and other languages, visit www.kingcounty.gov/health/disaster.
Warming Facilities Throughout King County
As warming centers open in King County, including cities within the county, the list will be updated online at www.kingcounty.gov/prepare.


Abuja – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives has called for strict observance of the rule of law to improve democratic practice in the country.
The caucus made the call in a statement by its Leader, Rep. Kingsley Chinda (PDP-Rivers) on Saturday in Abuja.
The lawmaker stressed the need to place greater value on Nigerian lives and for decisive and pragmatic steps to end the avoidable deaths in the country.
He called on the government to restrain the Police and other security agencies from further unleashing violence on unarmed youths and other peaceful protesters.
“They choose to go out and exercise their rights in commemoration of Democracy Day.
“June 12 is a symbol of democratic freedom and supremacy of the people’s power and should be respected by ensuring that all0 the tenets of democracy are adhered to in all ramifications.
“June 12 is not only about introspection, it is about renewing the commitments of all to the growth of democracy in our dear county.
“It is about ensuring that our country is never again enveloped by darkness, hemmed to the abyss by the sinister forces that threaten our collective rights and freedoms,” he said.
Chinda urged all Nigerians to hold on to democratic principles in spite of the challenges facing the country saying that “good will triumph over evil.” (NAN)

Shaping the future and giving new directions to the underprivileged children of Gurgaon
Online PR News – 25-March-2015 – gurgaon – Taking a step forward in its contribution for the upliftment of the underprivileged children, DLF Foundation organized its Annual Scholars Conclave 2015 today. The conclave was held under the aegis of its flagship initiative Talent Nurturing Program. Annual Scholar’s Conclave 2015 celebrated the scholarly endeavors and achievements of its students and included scholars/faculty/mentors narrating their educational progress and varied experiences. The conclave awarded and recognized the high achievers, partner schools, best teachers and mentors and resource person of their initiative. Over 14 high achievers were awarded and recognized during the conclave with Plaque, Cash Awards and Certificate of Commendation.
The annual conclave is an opportunity for students, their faculty and mentors to share their scholarly journey. The Talent Nurturing Program works towards the education of children from disadvantaged and marginalized communities who often have to give up their education for lack of funds and family support. So far it has supported over 733 bright underprivileged rural and urban scholars, over 559 rural and urban school scholars hailing from very marginalized and low income families. Out of these over 334 rural school scholars have been helped to shift to reputed private schools of Gurgaon (Jhankar Public School, Drona Public School, St. Pauls and Florence Public School) with good infrastructure and academic performance from their local government schools. The rest are 174 professional scholars supported in the category of MBBS, Engg., IT, fine arts and sports. 45% of the scholars are girl children. 49 villages and 27 government schools in Gurgaon are covered in the school programme. In addition, five states including Haryana, UP, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Delhi are covered by the professional scholarship programme. DLF as a part of its corporate social responsibility spends 3 crores yearly in this initiative and is expected to increase the amount in the coming year.
The conclave began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by Chief Guest Dr Leena Srivastava, Acting Director General, TERI and former Vice-Chancellor, Teri University, and Guest of Honor Air Marshal Kellor Denzil, CEO, Special Olympics, India.
While exhorting the remarkable efforts of the scholars, Dr Srivastava said, “India is one of the youngest country of the world and 20-30 years down the lane, India is going to lead the world. Right now we are facing lot of challenges, not having access to quality education is the biggest challenge that the children of rural areas face today. I appreciate DLF foundation’s efforts towards uplifting and educating these children who otherwise would not have found their way in to good public schools or professional colleges. It’s fascinating to see so much of talent accumulate from diverse backgrounds at one place today. My heartiest congratulations to all the students for the wonderful display of creativity and talent. I wish that you all will show your skill set to the world, find solutions to the challenges that our country is facing and prove to be the best leaders”.
In his inaugural address, Lt. Gen (Retd.) Rajender Singh, CEO, DLF Foundation, stated, “Today we are celebrating the day which will recognize and acknowledge the talent of our future leaders. India has always been acknowledged for its talent, our country has given world class scientists, engineer, and doctors to the world. I hope our scholars will lead the country from the front and make us proud”.
Young achievers recounted their experiences as they were felicitated for academic excellence. Sonu Yadav, from Gurgaon is one of the Scholar achiever who is awarded with the DLF's Raghvendra Scholarship, which helped him excel in school and sports. The scholarship covers the cost of Sonu’s school education including textbooks, study materials and transport from home. Sonu also receives Rs 3000 every year as stipend. Sharing his experience he said, “Because of the scholarship programme, I have gained more confidence. My academic and interpersonal skills improved tremendously through various programmes introduced by the Foundation in my school. Some of the programmes that I participate in are PTA meetings, annual scholar meets, one to one counseling sessions and talks by inspirational leaders.”
While expressing his gratitude towards DLF Foundation Sonu’s father Raghunandan Yadav, said, “Like other low income parents I, too, was overwhelmed by diminished self-esteem, depression, and a sense of powerlessness and inability to cope but the scholarship has touched and changed Sonu’s life who otherwise would have found it extremely difficult to pursue his dreams.”.
The following awards were conferred during the conclave
· Scholar of the Year - Ms. Pooja Rani & Ms. Heena Rai
· Best Partner School - Jhankar Sr. Secondary School, Gurgaon
· Best Teacher - Ms. Barnali Mukherjee , Drona Public School

I remember the day. The wind puffed itself into my little corner work station as if to tease me for remaining inside, sheltered away from the healing powers of nature, centuries past the reign of grease men, old cities now lost and abandoned. From the top floor of our small shop I can see their rotted pinnacles in the spotting scope. They were misted relics, covered in browns, greens, a new skin for rebellious glass and steel artifices, patiently reclaimed by soft organic veneers.
“Horatio, are you done with that Model Six yet? You’ve been tinkering with that one for too long.” My boss was onto me.
“Almost done sir,” I replied without turning away from my station. And how could I? The Model Six was beautiful, elegant and rare and here she was, a specimen of such, mounted right here before me. I could stare at her for hours, just the same with her owner. “Two more accents for the down-tube then done,” I said.
“Alright but finish up with the other one before the day remains,” the bossman said as he waved his hand at the old Model Two bicycle that rested on my side bench’s left rail. The other one needed serious work and I was pushing my time quite close. He moved his face near the machine and inspected the front fender’s ornamentation. “Good work.” And then he turned to walk away, his black leather apron flitted past my face.
But I lied. I had visions of adding scroll-work wraps around the seat tube as well. I drew flourishes and gears onto the fabricator by hand as fast as I could, after which I added my own special artistic touch, two sinuous thin curves overlaid just so to give the whole piece some visual unity. To the casual eye my lines appeared creative and relaxed yet the deeper symbolism, I hoped anyways, spoke of a hidden order found within nature’s deceptive entropy. Coaxing such things from the dark is the job of any truly great artist. And with that I hoped to aspire forthwith.
The workshop’s front door bell jingled, the outside air fluffed across my repair stand in a welcoming respite. I knew straight away that it was her as her boots clip-clopped across the beaten wooden floor. It was her stride that gave her away, footfalls timed so exquisitely that their resonance aroused even the dead, unseen haunted spirits that lingered within and gave purpose to their ethereal suspension. But I would speak of none of it for fear of losing the tissue-thin tether line between her and I.
“Hello Viriline,” I casually announced across my shoulder line.
“Hi,” said she. “You aren’t done I see. I’ll come back later. Thought it would be ready by now.”
“Almost done,” I said. “Give me another half-hour.”
“What else do you have to do to it?” Viriline asked while she adjusted her flying goggles that rested superior to her bang line.
“Just adding some accents to the down-tube, if it’s all the same,” I answered.
“But I didn’t pay for that. What about the cassette?”
“Fixed. Replaced the bushings and the retainer.”
Viriline paused and then looked at me then back to her bicycle. “You really don’t have to.”
Which was true. I quickly scrambled together an excuse to deflect her concern. “Yes, I know. But I had some scrap, golden-brass remnants left over. It seemed a shame to toss them away.” I lifted my fabricating glasses from my face and simply smiled, hoping that she would accept my volley.
“That’s so thoughtful.” Viriline lowered her eyes, arms crossed and said, “So no charge then.”
“No charge,” I said as I cheerfully raised my hands.
She did not say anything in return but instead walked onto the small balcony toward the shop’s rear about five meters away and leaned over the balustrade. “Quiet day today.”
“Indeed, yes.” I casually said and then turned away from her toward the bicycle. I could see her vague reflection in my station’s copperplate back-splash while she leaned over the rail. I prayed that she could not see my eyes in the copper, and doubted that it was so. “You don’t have to stay, you know.”
She resolved to a stand and walked inside, her boots clop-clopping against the maple. “No, it’s fine.” She picked up a crank from my side worktable and abstractly considered it while she turned it over. “So Horatio, when are you going to visit my ship?”
“What, your hybrid or the old one?”
“The hybrid. You should come see.” Viriline was the third in line within her family. I can remember there were eleven families who passed their great airships down. Family businesses all. “We wrapped new solar film over the battens and envelope. We can go anywhere now, even close to the storm wall.”
“You lie,” I protested in half-humor. “That really is hard to believe.”
“No it’s true!” she said.
“Turn your head.”
“The micro-welder. It’s bright,” I said and then replaced my fabricating glasses over my eyes. The lenses darkened when they sensed that I had turned the welder’s exciter plates on.
Viriline walked out and onto the balcony again. She wore her flying suit which was an ensemble of black and brown leather wraps interposed with cloth at the joints. I could not ask for a more beautiful thing to grace my little dusty corner in this world.
“Magnify to three, polarize,” I commanded my intelligent eye-wear. I could see the fine detail where the gold metal scroll-work met the down-tube. My micro-welder cut a razor thin line into the paint and primer, eliminating the need to pre-strip. The wand’s inertial stabilizers helped my hand guide the cut while my goggles watched and worked with the welder in concerted silence.
“Oh my,” Viriline announced from the balcony.
I could not turn my head as the weld had to be done in a single pass. “What is it?” I asked her.
She did not respond and my frustration at my inability to break from the weld grew stronger. “What’s wrong?” I asked again.
“It’s…It’s the grease men I think,” she said.
“Aw crap. Not again,” I replied in disgust. It was an oddity, why the grease men envied us so. There was a time when they attacked us for our splendid works or sometimes to capture our more attractive women but presently they strike at our city’s verge out of sheer spite and not for any earthly vantage. Once, we were the outcasts, the rebels, the freaks pushed away from the meat of the world. But fortune reciprocated her tables as she does from time to time and so we flourished, our culture focused and obsessed with works of hand and sun powered by distant visions of practical craftsmen. Our way of life was carefully preserved, quietly and without much notice while the grease men burned through their gasoline reserves, their kerosene and their oil in endless orgies of the disposable now. When the oil stopped coming, Dionysus lowered his fennel and all that remained for the grease men and their grotesque women were sulfurous pools of vapor and sludge, And still they come to scratch at our doors like lost and blinded road-men, like they always have before.
And still they come.
“I see smoke at the city wall,” she said and pointed toward the southeast before retreating into the shop.
I finished the weld and re-holstered the device into it’s base and pushed my goggles onto my forehead. “I gotta close up the—” Before I could finish a dull booming sound thundered in just as Viriline closed the balcony doors.
“Come with me,” she said. “I want you to see.”
I patted my legs and replied, “You know I can’t.”
“Don’t be so negative.” She bear-hugged me, picked me up from my working stool and plopped me down right onto my travel chair. “Go neutral, I’ll push,” she said to me like I had been this way forever, even when we were children, as if my traumatic fall had not come upon me only one short year ago.
“I can’t just leave! I have to finish up and help close up shop!”
“Let me worry about your boss,” Viriline replied. “Come on, let’s go.”
Although my travel chair did have an powered assist that charged off the city’s twelve–volt solar grid it was slow. “Fine. But if you get me fired, we are gonna have a problem.” She lurched my chair forward and down the spiral ramp to the first floor. Boss Attenson was busy frantically shuttering up the windows and doors. “Horatio! Don’t even think about leaving now or I’ll have you up on a vine before you know it!”
I shrugged and had no words. “Here,” Viriline said. She reached into her strap-tote, removed a coin and handed it to the boss-man. “Cover for loss. Square?”
Boss Attenson froze while he considered the coin. It was a full One Sun, half an ounce of gold that could buy both bicycles at my bench, made new. “Square,” he said and with that he twitched his head toward the shop’s entrance.
“This is going to be so fun!” Viriline announced as she propelled me down the narrow lane, my chair plinking against the rounded cobble.
“Fun you say? I would employ another word perhaps,” I said. “Consider the grease men, not modestly armed. They’re gonna shoot us down you know.”
“They’re not gonna shoot us down. Stop.”
“They will shoot your ship from the sky I tell you, and us with it. And we will die together in a great plummet,” I said.
Viriline said, “You aren’t terribly gratuitous for a kidnapped victim in my tow.”
“I suppose I should be more ingratiated,” I replied. More booms made their way across our small city–town. Windows and doors slammed closed on either side while we made our way to Viriline’s great airship. Before long we arrived.
“Harland! Pick up my friend!” It was one of her brothers, a giant galoot with a meek friendly smile incongruous to his girth. Without a word brother Harland slung me over his shoulders as if I were a carcass of newly downed wild game. With no words spoken he wrapped one wrist around a thick ballast line, gave it two tugs and up we went. Viriline raised herself on the same rope straight after it’s fall back to earth.
Harland parked me onto a chair–bench on the main deck. “Use the harness,” Viriline said. I strapped the belts over my shoulders and across my lap. “There, good,” she said with a satisfied smile. An older man in his early fifties manned the engine directly behind the steering helm while her three brothers and two sisters stood ready at the deck guns of the great craft. I learned later that her mother was on the lower deck along with two cousins to man the infirmary and operational internals.
“Lift ready!” The man yelled to Viriline. She took control of the steering helm, a nest of levers, rails, gauges and other avionics critical to the endeavor. She donned over–ear headphones and yelled, “All hands online! We are lifting to two–two–seven! Hang on!” Three giant propellers turned to life as they pushed air through the airship’s center. “Bubble twenty–one six!” she announced as we ascended over the city.
“What’s our heading?” her father yelled while he adjusted the engine dials. He was directly behind her but the wind and engines made it impossible to talk in normal tone.
“Nine–two!” she yelled back.
“South point?” he asked.
“Yeah!” she screamed.
I looked at the airship’s envelope overhead. Holes formed and quickly sealed themselves as the grease men shot at our craft from their assault boats far below. I didn’t dare peek over the hull. Viriline waved at me and smiled as if this were a task mundane as anything. I waved back while I watched her perform her inherited duty. She rotated her right hand in the air, a signal of some sort to her siblings. The engine idled down and before long only the sound of the winds aloft was in evidence.
“We’re drifting astern at five!” she said. Her father responded with a thumbs up and adjusted the slowly turning engines to compensate. The deck crew initiated their report as they opened up the deck rail-guns and fired at the attackers. I craned my head for a look down. With magnified precision they dispatched boat after boat. A bullet shrilled past me only six feet away. One of the engines sparked and failed as a round broke through its protective metal ribs.
“They’re retreating!” Harland yelled and the family clapped and cheered.
Viriline removed her headphones and sat by me. “So how was that?” she asked. “Did you like?”
“Well, yes. I was almost hit though.”
“You looked down?”
“Yes. Couldn’t help it,” I said.
Viriline squeezed my shoulder and said with her face flushed over, “So. Wanna have dinner in the sky?”
I paused and then said, “No charge?”
She smiled, quickly laughed and said, with the deepest avowal I have ever heard in my entire life, “No, Horatio. No charge.”

Hillshire Brands CEO Sees Possible Acquisitions in 2014
Hillshire Brands Co. (HSH) will look at making acquisitions next year and is focused on creating more chicken items as consumers demand healthy options, Chief Executive Officer Sean Connolly said.
“It’s a great acquisition environment,” Connolly said today at The Year Ahead: 2014, a two-day conference in Chicago sponsored by Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Businessweek.
Hillshire, owner of meat brands Jimmy Dean and Ball Park, bought gourmet jerky maker Golden Island for $35 million in September. The foodmaker is facing competition from Kraft Foods Group Inc. (KRFT)’s Oscar Mayer meats and Hormel Foods Corp. (HRL), owner of Jennie-O turkey, as well as declining U.S. consumer confidence.
More news and video from The Year Ahead: 2014
The company is focused on health and is working on new chicken and turkey items to help boost sales, Connolly said.
There is a “continued trend toward wellness,” he said.
Hillshire was known as Sara Lee Corp. before spinning off its tea and coffee segment last year. It renamed itself Hillshire in June 2012 and appointed Connolly CEO. The company has since focused on improving lunch meat quality, creating new hot dog flavors and winning over more customers with lower-calorie breakfast sandwiches. The company’s Jimmy Dean Delights bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches have 230 calories.

Some text from the JACI abstract:
Nrf2 activation by sulforaphane restores the age-related decrease of TH1 immunity: Role of dendritic cells
Hyon-Jeen Kim, PhD, Berenice Barajas, BS, Meiying Wang, MD, Andre E. Nel, MD, PhD
Received 14 September 2007; received in revised form 30 November 2007; accepted 11 January 2008. published online 06 March 2008.
The decrease in cellular immunity with aging is of considerable public health importance. Recent studies suggest that the redox equilibrium of dendritic cells (DCs) is a key factor in maintaining protective cellular immunity and that a disturbance of this homeostatic mechanism could contribute to immune senescence.
We sought (1) to elucidate the role of DC redox equilibrium in the decrease of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and TH1 immunity during aging and (2) to determine how restoration of glutathione (GSH) levels by the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense pathway affects this decrease.
We assessed the effect of Nrf2 deficiency and boosting of GSH levels by the Nrf2 agonist sulforaphane or the thiol precursor N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on the CHS response to contact antigens in old mice. We studied the effect of SFN and NAC on restoring TH1 immunity by treating DCs ex vivo before adoptive transfer and in vivo challenge.
Aging was associated with a decreased CHS response that was accentuated by Nrf2 deficiency. Systemic SFN treatment reversed this decrease through Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzyme expression and GSH synthesis. Adoptive transfer of DCs from old animals induced a weakened CHS response in recipient animals. Treatment of DCs from old animals with SFN or NAC ex vivo restored the in vivo challenge response.
SFN and NAC upregulate TH1 immunity in aging through a restoration of redox equilibrium.

Paul László was a Hungarian architect and interior designer who built his reputation while designing interiors for houses, but in the 1960s, largely shifted his focus to the design of retail and commercial interiors. He was intransigent in his design projects but with his own unique style, few complained because of the overwhelming impact of his completed projects.
In 1948, László joined with George Nelson, Charles Eames and Isamu Noguchi to design for the Herman Miller company. The furniture lines presented by Herman Miller from 1948 have been called the most influential groups of furniture ever manufactured. However, László was not pleased with the arrangement and the relationship ended in 1952.
Starting in 1941 László maintained his design studio in Beverly Hills and later he rented the entire building when it was still incomplete, and he immediately took on the task of designing the interiors, the exterior details and all the furniture complete with fabrics. The studio also had a small area showcasing his work and helped him achieve even greater prominence. Paul Laszlo designed famous department and many of the casinos and showrooms in the Howard Hughes-owned hotels in Las Vegas.

This year's Mizuekai featured five dances in a ninety-five minute performance: "Full of Chrysanthemums," "Wisteria Girl," "Blue Waves," "An Insane Woman," "A Poor Young Apprentice," and "Miyagawa Kouta." My favorites were the second and third dances, "Wisteria Girl" and "Blue Waves."
I think that Miyagawa-cho dances put more of an emphasis on theatricality than tradition, so I find them the most enjoyable and entertaining of all the geisha dances I attend. I see something I have never seen before each year, and I always leave the theater pleasantly surprised.
The dances are also a good source of inspiration for me photographically. For instance, the first dance this year, "Full of Chrysanthemums," had seven maiko dancing with hanagasa (flower hats). Hanagasa are common props for maiko in dances, but these hanagasa were about half the size of traditional hanagasa and featured bright yellow chrysanthemums instead of cherry blossoms and maple leaves as they usually do.
I will be photographing the maiko Tanewaka from Miyagawa-cho in a few weeks, and I have already put in a request for her to bring these chrysanthemum hanagasa to the session. I have already photographed maiko with cherry blossom hanagasa on several occasions, so the bright yellow flowers will be a welcome new twist on an old theme for me.
