Know someone who emerged from this holiday season with a new tablet in hand—and they now want your advice on what to do with it? An Android device is only as good as the apps you install, so we've drawn up a listed of some top Android apps for tablet newbies.
The apps we've chosen below are not necessarily new or edgy, but we've field-tested them all and find them solid choices for a wide variety of users wanting to get started with some basic tablet tasks. (Vea nuestra iPad version también.)
The Google Play store is not overflowing with powerful image editing applications—there are many more apps that will let you pop clip-art cats or Eiffel Towers into your pictures in lieu of doing a simple crop. Afortunadamente, the recent Google acquisition Snapseed takes itself seriously enough to forego the word art and gives you the essentials like cropping and adjusting exposure, saturación, contrast, and brightness, as well as tools for selective adjust and an "autocorrect button." There are a handful of modest photo effects that are not too cheesy.
Snapseed allows you to pull in photos to edit from cloud services like Box or Dropbox, which can be handy if you tablet is stuck with only a front-facing single-megapixel camera. Honorable mention goes to Pixlr Express, which Google recommended on its list of must-have Android apps for 2012. Its controls aren't quite as granular, but it has more creative options that you can't find in Snapseed, like the ability to add and control color splashes into black-and-white photos.
DroidEdit is by far the most flexible of the the text editors we tried. It's not much to look at, but the options available inside the app make it suitable for both coding and writing. Line wrap can be turned on and off, you can search and replace text, and there's a "writer mode" that turns off autocorrect and turns on a spell-checker. The app has a number of language syntaxes available (C/C++, C#, CSS, LaTex, Perl, Python, and many more). You can change the color scheme of the app to one of the available defaults or set your own and change the font size, but the font style is fixed. Even if you're not a coder, DroidEdit is still a capable and handy little text editor, on the level of Notepad++ for Windows.
When it comes to managing text files, you can have multiple files open at once, and the app allows you to create new folders in the file management system when saving (a feature that's rarer than it should be). The app also provides access to Android's share menu, so you can easily move you file to places including Evernote, Google Drive, Gmail,and Dropbox.
There are two versions of DroidEdit, one of which is free and runs a small text ad in the bottom right corner of the screen, which annoyingly changes every few seconds. We'd get a facial tic, having to sort-of look at that while writing. Afortunadamente, the paid version of DroidEdit is only $1.99 and has no ads.
It's hardly a surprise that Google, what with its cloud-based service proficiency, has come from behind with Drive to unseat older and wiser competitors like Dropbox and Box. The app works particularly well on the tablets, with useful options like the ability to create new Google files (a doc or a spreadsheet) right in the app, or sort contents by date or name.
Because Google Docs is now essentially part and parcel to Drive, the Drive app allows you to both open and edit documents without having to hop over to another app. This isn't a flawless process; por ejemplo, when we uploaded a text file from DroidEdit to Drive, we have let it convert to Docs format to edit in Drive. If we don't, tapping the file in Drive will prompt us to open it in another of the text editing apps we have installed.
Drive comes preinstalled on some tablets, so you don't even have to open the Google Play store to get the best of the cloud storage experiences. If you're looking for a bit more security than Drive can provide, that's SpiderOak's strong suit, though its mobile apps usually leave something to be desired.
The duel for our hearts between Pocket and Instapaper is a remarkably close one. Bolsillo, an evolution of the tool formerly known as Read it Later, just barely edges out Instapaper for its ability to handle images and videos with a little more grace.
If this category were simply for choosing a reading app, this would be a dead heat. Both Instapaper and Pocket allow for resizing and changing fonts, changing color schemes, and have seemingly useless brightness tuners. Pocket's font sizes extend farther down into the smaller sizes; Instapaper offers more font choices, the ability to change line spacing, and more granularity for column width. Both allow users to perform bulk actions on their content; Pocket offers tags for organizing, while Instapaper offers folders.
But Pocket allows users to save videos and images and view them within the app. We don't see ourselves using Pocket for images, but we've saved videos to Instapaper a fair few times, knowing it was little better interface-wise than sending ourselves a link in e-mail. Pocket doesn't cache the video for offline viewing the way both Pocket and Instapaper will create offline versions of articles for reading, but we appreciate not having to redirect the app to its own browser, or relocate to Chrome, just to watch a video.
Walk away, AIM app. Go home, Facebook Messenger. Imo.im is able to handle both types of these accounts, in addition to Skype, Google Talk, and Steam. There's also an option for Myspace, in case you just can't let go.
When you provide imo with your account information for the above services, it will display each entry along with an on/off switch to let you log in or out. If you're logged into more than one account at a time, imo displays all contacts in one combined tab, while a second tab holds your past chats. The app offers options to log conversations on imo.im.
With some messaging apps in the past, we've had problems where one or the other will hijack messages exclusively, rather than letting it ring through to any locations where you may be logged in. Agradecidamente, imo.im doesn't do this. En lugar, when you receive an initial message, imo.im will display it on the tablet, but won't continue threading the conversation through itself if you answer somewhere else. Your mileage may vary depending on the service, but we haven't had this problem with AIM, GTalk, or Facebook chat.
To be entirely honest, none of the apps for the major streaming music services have really been optimized for Android tablets—they're made for phones first, and it shows in their sparse layouts and overabundant whitespace. For this category, entonces, the content is probably more important than the apps themselves, and both Spotify y Microsoft Internet Explorer Rdio give you plenty to listen to (nuestro recent shootout between the two will give you more insight into each service's social features and tie-ins to their respective desktop clients).
Honorable mention: The downside to both Spotify and Rdio is that, after your trial period has expired, each will want $9.99 a month to grant you access to the service on your phones and tablets. We think that for most people that is a price worth paying, but if you want something a little more libre Pandora is still a good choice if you don't mind the advertisements.
There are plenty of touchscreen games we could recommend here, but rather than talking up Fruit Ninja or some other staple we'll be kicking it old school with one of those timeless time-wasters: Solitario.
Of the many, many versions of this game available in the Google Play store, MobilityWare's Solitaire is the best—it's clean, simple, and optimized for tablet screens in a way that some of the other available versions aren't. The biggest drawback is probably the full-screen ads that run in between games, especially since there's no in-app purchase or separate version of the app that can be used to disable them. They don't ruin the experience, but they are annoying.
If regular old Klondike Solitaire doesn't get your blood pumping, MobilityWare also offers similarly excellent (and free-but-ad-supported) versions of FreeCell y Microsoft Internet Explorer Spider Solitaire.
Honorable mention: It's an unfortunate fact that Android's game library still lags behind the iTunes Store—if a developer can only target one mobile OS they generally choose Apple's, and the games that do appear on multiple platforms often appear on the iPad or iPhone first.
The situation is slowly improving, aunque. One of the most recent iOS ports to hit Google Play is the $4.99 Eufloria HD, a laid-back take on the real-time strategy game genre, but if you're looking for something quicker to pick up and play there's still nothing better than Halfbrick's Jetpack Joyride.
The Nexus tablets include Google Chrome as their default browser, y por buenas razones: it's a great browser that renders pages accurately, sticks to a vigorous update schedule, and can sync bookmarks, las pestañas abiertas, and other information with its desktop counterparts. If you've got a non-Nexus tablet, you can easily switch from the stock browser to Chrome by downloading it from Google Play (as long as your tablet is running Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean, de todos modos).
Honorable mention: Firefox para Android is also solid contender, and if you use Firefox on the desktop it will also sync your data. Mozilla is also running some interesting experiments in the beta versions of the browser, one of which is an HTML5-focused app store.
Traveling in the winter can make you acutely aware of the weather in a way that you aren't in your day-to-day life, and apps that tell you whether you can weather that weather are of the essence.
The one we like best on a tablet's screen is the free ad-supported app from AccuWeather.com. It's got a nice, big, readable interface, and it's easy to swipe or tap a button to pull up hourly or 15-day forecasts, mapas, y vídeos. The animations aren't as smooth as they might be, but the fact that the app has been updated specifically for 7-inch and 10-inch screens puts it ahead of the rest of the pack. Notifications for severe weather and other configurable alerts are also available, as are a couple of different widget sizes can be set to give you information at a glance.
As in the music app discussion, the content available through an e-book app is a very important part of the discussion. Unlike music apps, sin embargo, you're going to spend a lot of time in these apps actually reading books, and a poorly-optimized tablet app is harder to forgive.
In both of these respects, Amazon's Kindle app has the edge. The app itself has improved greatly since we looked at it in our Nexus 7 revisar, in large part because Amazon added new, smaller font options that make books look much better on 7-inch and 10-inch tablet screens. It goes without saying that the size of Amazon's e-book library remains unmatched, at least if you can stomach the DRM.
The Android app still lacks a couple of features available in iOS and on the Kindle Fire—the X-Ray feature, which allows you to look through a book to see all of the occurrences of certain words and names, is probably the most glaring omission—but reading Kindle books on an Android tablet is a much better experience now than it was even a couple of months ago.
Ene had a run-in with Google's flagship smartphone today and we put it to work right away. The Nexus 4 is built by LG and follows the Galaxy Nexus very closely in terms of design and aesthetics. We'll have an in-depth first impressions of the phone for you very soon, but first, how about a little camera showdown against the Galaxy Nexus. The camera in the previous phone was only good if all the conditions were ideal like a bright summer's day. Anything else and you might as well not bother taking the phone out of your pocket. The Nexus 4 on the other hand has an 8MP BSI sensor from Sony, so we can expect great things from it, especially in low light.
We will be comparing it with other handsets like the iPhone 5, Lumia 920, etc in the future but for now, we just want to see how much of an improvement it is over its predecessor.
On Video
We've shot a quick hands-on video of the LG Nexus 4, highlighting its design and build as well as a quick comparison with the Galaxy Nexus itself. We also get to see the new powerful Qualcomm SoC in action through a quick lap of NFS: Most Wanted.
Good detail on both but the Nexus 4 edges out the GNex with better depth of field
In the first out door test, both cameras appear to capture very good amount of detail. Sin embargo, the colours are a bit exaggerated in the Galaxy Nexus as compared the Nexus 4. También, the depth of field is stronger in the Nexus 4 as the blue wall and shrubs in the background are more blurred out.
No real competition here
Our second test was indoors, under sufficient ambient lighting. Aquí, the BSI sensor come into play by offering a much better white balance as well as a lot more detail. The Galaxy Nexus is simply unable to capture enough detail and colours in this sort of lighting.
Good detail and accurate colours from the Nexus 4
We finally come to our macro test. Otra vez, the Nexus 4 came out on top with better white balance and much better contrast. The detail is also a lot better.
There's no word when the Nexus 4 will actually launch in India but latest rumours state a possibility of an early Jan launch. You can buy the handset right now from the gray market for approximately Rs 36,000 para el modelo de 16 GB. You can read our in-depth first impressions of the handset aquí.

Below are the three features that you may not know your LG Nexus 4 tener.
Por otro lado, some reports said that search engine giant Google is already working on the successor of the popular LG Nexus 4.
Google has been releasing Nexus smartphones and tablets over the years. Since it was launched, the Nexus line has included handsets from HTC, Samsung, y LG. Sin embargo, it seems Google may be using the recently-acquired Motorola for its next phone.
Wall Street Journal quoted unnamed sources that a new device is on its way from Google-owned Motorola. These people say Motorola engineers are hard at work on a "sophisticated" handset codenamed 'X phone.' Sin embargo, it is still unsure whether the device will be a Nexus-brand phone.

Those of you with an Android device should be on the lookout — the security firm Dr. Web is warning users of a new trojan that disguises itself using the Google Play icon. Dubbed Android.DDoS.1.origin, the malware creates an application icon that looks just like the Google Play icon. When opened, the malware actually opens Google Play, helping disguise the malicious activity taking place in the background.
Once Android.DDoS.1.origin is running, it attempts to connect to a remote server and sends the device's phone number down the pipeline. If successfully connected, the device is now compromised, and remains in a state awaiting commands from whoever is on the receiving end of the phone number. The cyber hooligans can then make the compromised device send SMS messages, or perform DDoS attacks on a specified target.
Aside from having your device compromised and responsible for a DDoS attack, the criminals controlling the device could also run up SMS and data charges depending on how frequently they send messages and perform DDoS attacks. Por supuesto, the frequency and intensity of this malicious activity could affect the performance of a compromised device, based on simple processor and memory allocations and usage.
En el momento, Dr.. Web reports that how the trojan spreads is unclear, but is most likely spread through social media tactics, getting users to download the code themselves in some manner.
As one might expect of a security company, Dr.. Web notes that users running Dr. Web products for Androide will be protected from the trojan. If you aren't cool with that, just pay attention to what you download, or don't enable the feature that allows you to download apps that didn't come from the Google Play store.

If you're still toting Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1, good news – CyanogenMod let loose a flurry of new nightlies for the device today, all carrying the CM 10.1 apodo, meaning owners of Samsung's ten-inch Tab from 2011 can enjoy a stock Android 4.2 experience with some key improvements. Among those receiving the new nightlies are the Wi-Fi only Tab (p4wifi), Verizon and T-Mobile connected variants (p4vzw and tmo), the p4, and even the p3, which is the Galaxy Tab 10.1v.
If you've been waiting to get a taste of Android 4.2 with CyanogenMod enhancements on your Lengüeta 10.1, just hit the appropriate link below and grab the nightly.
Definition: A "nightly" is a bleeding edge release that is built on a daily basis, usually at night after a full day's worth of new code has been committed.
It could oftentimes be unstable and not properly tested, lacking any changelogs, but eventually evolving into alphas, betas, release candidates, and finally stable releases.
The England midfielder could earn $6.5million a year — equal to £4million —
plus a potential $1million (£619,000) in merchandise sales.
A source said: "The club feel Frank is what they're missing now David
has left.
"He has the profile to fill Beckham's role as the face of the club globally."
Frank, 34, is mulling over his next move después de
being told by London side Chelsea to find another club.
Despite helping the Blues to the Champions League, three Premier League
títulos, four FA Cups and two League Cups, he was told he can go from January
If he accepts a contract with LA Galaxy, it will make him the highest-earning
player in the US league.
Former Spurs ace Robbie Keane, 32, is the Galaxy's current highest player on
$3.5million dollars (£2.1million).
Ex-Arsenal favourite Thierry Henry, 35, is the second highest-earning player
in the MLS on $5.5million (£3.4million).
A California move could be an exciting new start for Lampard's fiancee
Christine Bleakley.
The Dancing on Ice host, 33, got engaged to Frank last year. She has told pals
she is confident she could start a new career Stateside.

Now you have a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S3, you're probably going to want to accessorise a little bit.
Why not check out our best accessories for the Galaxy S3 and make the most of the Android beast's capabilities? Also check the best jewelry and fashion accessories for your smartphone at The Fifth Collection!
With such a stunning screen, you don't want the display all scratched up. The official Samsung Galaxy S3 flip case comes in a range of colours and attaches to your phone by replacing the battery cover.
It may be a little more expensive than cheap imitations, but it does the job perfectly, keeping the profile of the Galaxy S3 nice and slim, just as it should be.
Want to watch your video content on the big screen? Samsung's HDMI adaptor allows you to watch all the content from your phone on your TV, whether you want to view YouTube content, a video you made with the camera, fotos, documentos, games or anything else.
You will need to buy an HDMI cable too, but you can pick one up for a little over £1 on Amazon.
The Globalgig Wi-Fi hotspot allows you to data roam in the US, UK and Australia for just £15 a month. The device will cost £79 upfront, but can save you hundreds, or even thousands of pounds if you're a frequent traveller.
Although the device will only work in the US and Australia at the moment, it should be heading to Europe and other territories by the end of 2013. Just like a regular mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, it has its own data connection and connects to your phone as a Wi-Fi network.
Keep your Samsung Galaxy S3 juiced up at all times with this cover for it. Although it makes the S3 looks a little chunkier, it will give you an extra 2200mAh of battery power while on the move.
The case charges via your standard microUSB charger and when the battery on your phone gets low, just turn the case on and it'll start transferring power from the case to your phone.
A bonus addition is a hidden kickstand, putting your Galaxy S3 at the perfect angle for watching TV or a film on your journey to and from work.
We've been big fans of Etymotic earphones for a while and the HF2s double up as a handsfree kit too.
The in-ear 'phones come with a range of different sized flanges to fit in any ear canal size, but if you really want to splash the cash, go for the custom fit solution, which costs an extra £100, but is well worth it for the most amazing sound experience you've ever felt. Etymotic EF2s come in a range of colours too. We prefer the red.

Samsung produces a number of products from kitchen appliances to PCs but it was the company's mobile division that made the most headlines in 2012.
The Korea-based company dominated the mobile phone space, introducing several new Galaxy devices throughout the year. But it couldn't shake one its biggest rivals, Manzana, which proved to be a worthy opponent in the courtroom and in stores.
Todavía, despite all the hysteria surrounding the launch of the iPhone 5 y Microsoft Internet Explorer Mini iPad, it was Samsung and its Android-heavy lineup of devices like the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II that were the really mobile winners in 2012. Those two smartphones were only introduced in the second half of the year and they have already sold at least 30 millón y Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 millón mundial, respectivamente.
Samsung didn't fare as well in court, sin embargo. Though it nabbed a few patent victories here and there in its battle with Cupertino, it suffered a huge setback in August when a California jury handed down a $1.05 billion judgment; Samsung is appealing.
The Galaxy Train Steamrolls the Competition
The year opened with some hands-on time with the huge, 5-inch Galaxy Note "phablet" at CES. Samsung unveiled the massive smartphone/tablet at IFA several months before, and PCMag was a tad skeptical that it could succeed. But by March, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Note had been snapped up por 5 million consumers.
The first half of the year also saw an LTE-powered Galaxy Nexus for Sprint, la Galaxy Tab 2 with Ice Cream Sandwich, the rugged Rugby Smart, y el Galaxy Beam, a phone plus projector.
In late April, Samsung unveiled its new Exynos Quad 4 chip, which it said would power the next-generation of Galaxy devices. That included the much-anticipated Galaxy S III , que Samsung showed off during a London press event in May. It hit Europe later that month and the U.S. en junio. It has been released for all major U.S. carriers and sold at least 30 million units worldwide.
One hit smartphone was not enough, sin embargo, and Samsung followed up with the Galaxy Note II, which was even bigger than its predecessor at 5.3 pulgadas. Despite its almost comically large size, shoppers were intrigued by the gadget and its built-in stylus, snapping up more than 5 million by the end of November.
Samsung also released the Nota Galaxy 10.1 tableta, which included a split-screen mode, and the Android-based Galaxy Camera. The company will also try its hand at the Windows Phone platform with the Ativ S smartphone.
We're already hearing rumblings about a Galaxy S IV, which could make an appearance at February's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, así que estad atentos.
Patent Showdown at the Cupertino Corral
But despite all of Samsung's successes with its Galaxy lineup this year, the company spent a good chunk of its time (y el dinero) battling Apple over patents.
The two companies have been battling since April 2011, when Apple sued Samsung for "slavishly" copying the look and feel of the iPhone and iPad with its Galaxy lineup of devices. For the first half of 2012, there were a number of headlines about wins and losses in Alemán y Microsoft Internet Explorer Dutch courts, but things really got rolling when Apple and Samsung faced off against a jury in a California courtroom this summer.
Following several weeks of sometimes intense and sometimes boring testimony, the jury gave Apple an early Christmas present in the form of a $1.05 billion judgment. The jury did, sin embargo, find that Samsung did not infringe on Apple's iPad design patent, so the judge lifted a ban en el Galaxy Tab 10.1 en la U.S.
That's not the end of it, por supuesto. Samsung is appealing and the two companies have another, very similar case in the same court that will go to trial in 2014. Just last week, mientras tanto, Judge Lucy Koh denied Samsung's request for a new trial over juror misconduct and shot down Apple's injunction demands.
Samsung did score a small victory in the U.K., when a court there required Apple to state publicly on its website and in newspaper ads that Samsung did not copy the iPad with its Galaxy tablets. An initial post on the Apple website did not satisfy the court, and Apple was forced to update su "noncompliant" mensaje.
While it might seem like Apple is the bad guy here since it started things, Samsung hasn't gotten off with some scrutiny of its own. Semana pasada, the European Commission accused Samsung of patent abuse by not offering Apple fair and reasonable licensing terms for its 3G patents. The patents are considered "essential" for the operation of today's most popular gadgets and Samsung, por lo tanto, has an obligation to license them at a fair price, but Apple claims Samsung is asking for too much. Samsung, naturalmente, disagrees. Samsung now has a chance to respond to the EU's charges and the commission will then decide what, si cualquier, action to take.
Battling for the Smartphone Crown
Many of the Samsung-related headlines this year, mientras tanto, touched on Samsung's domination of the mobile phone market. The success of the Galaxy lineup even helped Samsung best Nokia, which had been the biggest phone maker for the last 14 años.
The Galaxy S III gave Samsung a boost in smartphones earlier this year, a lead that closed a bit with the release of Apple's iPhone 5, but was not enough to give Cupertino the crown.

Google has blocked access to Twitpic.com, a popular photo sharing tool for Twitter, after identifying it as a malware risk. Some users are also complaining that Twitter's own t.co URL shortener service is also broken at the moment but we are not sure if the two are incidents are linked in any manner.
Curiosamente, pics posted via Twitpic appear in the expanded mode on Twitter when viewed on Google Chrome. We should hopefully get an update soon on the situation. It is unlikely for the block to remain for long and in all probability the affected services are working it with Google as we file this post.
ACTUALIZACIÓN: Twitpic denies there is anything wrong with its service to invoke the malware notice and is trying to contact Google.

As with all AIG licenses in the state of North Carolina, the program entails completing four courses. At ECU, our courses run in a four course sequence which begins in the summer and concludes the following summer. Therefore the next opportunity to become involved in coursework at ECU will be in June of this year.
All of the courses required by the AIG Licensure Program at ECU are taught online, with the exception of two face-to-face weeks (one the first summer and one the second summer) involving a camp for gifted children.
The four courses are offered in the sequence listed below. Unfortunately they are not offered more frequently than in the sequence listed below.
SPED 6104: Introduction to Gifted Education (online with 1 week face-to-face): An introduction to the education of gifted students emphasizing definitions, characteristics, theories of intelligence, and methods of identification. (Beginning second summer session online with one week face-to-face at a camp for gifted kids in Greenville NC. You can learn more about this camp at our website - http://aigcamp.weebly.com by clicking on the CAMP tab). (each Summer 2, ONLINE except for required face-to-face camp in Greenville — usually held in July, exact dates will be provided)
SPED 6401: Methods & Materials in Gifted Education (online): An in-depth investigation of the materials, programs, and theories of educating the gifted. (each Fall semester, all online)
SPED 6402: Differentiated Curriculum for the Gifted (online): An in-depth study of student and program assessment and the development of differentiated curricula for gifted students. (each Spring semester, all online)
SPED 6403: Practicum in Gifted Education (online with 1 week face-to-face): Actual classroom experience with gifted children.

Mike Rogers Lies About Bulk Data Collection, Insists It's Necessary, Even As He Introduces Bill He Says Will Kill It
from the say-what-now? dept
But the thing that seemed most ridiculous was that, at the same time Rogers gave his press conference in which he claimed he was ending the bulk data collection by the NSA, he was publishing an op-ed in USA Today claiming the program was "necessary" and "vital" and that was why he was calling for it to end. He kicks it off with an already widely debunked bullshit story about how Section 215 could have stopped 9/11:
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Khalid al-Mihdhar stepped on to American Airlines Flight 77, the flight he would later crash into the Pentagon. Al-Mihdhar might have been in prison, instead of on that flight, if the government knew he had called an al-Qaeda safehouse in Yemen from inside the U.S. seven times before the attacks. The failure to spot phone calls by al-Mihdhar and others led the Intelligence community to begin collecting large volumes of call data records, specifically the number dialed and the date and duration of the call, to determine whether suspected terrorists had contacts inside the United States.This is simply not true. The NSA was already intercepting calls to that very safehouse starting at least two years earlier. The CIA had been following al-Mihdhar for years earlier. The FBI was aware of him as well. The problem was that the CIA failed to alert anyone that Mihdhar had a US visa and came to the US. So the problem was never that they didn't have the information. It was that the NSA, the FBI and the CIA simply didn't cooperate and share the necessary information. This has nothing to do with the Section 215 bulk data collection.
Since last summer, a great deal has been written about the program's scope, capabilities and legality —much of it wrong. The fact is that the program is legal. It was authorized by Congress and found constitutional many times over. No review of the program revealed an intentional misuse of its authority.This is not actually accurate. It is not a "fact" that the program is legal. At least one court has said that it is not legal as has the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), who found the program to be clearly both illegal and unconstitutional. As for the claims that it was "authorized" by Congress and found "constitutional" many times over, neither is particularly accurate. Mike Rogers himself hid the details of the program from Congressional reps who voted on it, and the FISA court never actually explored the constitutionality of the bulk phone records collection until after the Snowden revelations, at which point it had to cover its ass for all the approvals of the program it had given based on a totally different authority.
We recognize that the Intelligence community must have the confidence of the American people to do its life-saving work. Over the past nine months, we have studied ways to reform the program while maintaining its effectiveness.WHAT EFFECTIVENESS? Everyone who has explored the program has admitted that they were somewhat shocked to learn that there is no evidence anywhere that the program has done anything useful, ever. To argue that we need to "maintain its effectiveness" is a joke.
Most of the rest of the piece is trying to explain why his new bill is a good idea, even after he opened it with a series of outright lies. Then, apparently because he can't resist, he closes on a misrepresentation as well:
Without NSA counterterrorism tools, Najibullah Zazi might have set off bombs during rush hour in the New York City subway in September 2009.Except the Zazi case is another one that's been debunked as well. But that doesn't stop Rogers from doubling down on his argument:
Some people may say that's "not enough" when compared to the amount of information the NSA obtains, but we would be shocked if anyone on September 12, 2001, wouldn't have done everything possible to find hijackers like al-Mihdhar and prevent just one terrorist attack.Yeah, that's a great closer. The argument that anything goes because of September 11th should, frankly, disqualify Rep. Rogers from holding office. Doing "everything possible" would mean abandoning the Constitution that Rogers is supposed to be upholding. We're a nation built on the principle that we don't abridge basic freedoms to "do everything possible" to stop one crime. Yet, Rogers still doesn't seem to recognize this.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Gordon College withstood a five-goal burst by MIT's Laura Watson in the second half to record a 9-8 victory on Thursday night. Watson led all scorers with seven points on six goals and an assist while Dani Zorn paced the Fighting Scots (2-1) with four goals.
Gordon opened the game with three unanswered goals scored by Zorn, Katie Knaus, and Christine Arruda. Watson put the Engineers (1-2) on the board with 7:57 remaining in the half and Samantha O'Keefe converted a free position shot a minute later to narrow the gap to one (3-2). Amber Whalen quickly notched an unassisted strike for the Fighting Scots, but MIT cut its deficit in half when Mary Hatch connected on a feed from Watson. Zorn tallied back-to-back goals, with Annie Cameron earning an assist on the first, during the last minute of the half to give Gordon a 6-3 edge.
The Zorn-Cameron connection returned at the 11:27 mark of the second stanza. On the ensuing draw control, Whalen scooped up the ball and sprinted to the net for her second goal of the night. MIT responded with Watson tallying three goals in a four-minute span to narrow the margin to 8-6. Knaus registered the game-winning goal with 5:17 left to play before Watson found the back of the net two more times with the last goal occurring just inside the two-minute mark. The Engineers had a chance to even the contest at nine when it was awarded a free position attempt with 51 seconds remaining in regulation, but they were unable to convert the opportunity.
Stephanie Brenman posted six groundballs for MIT while O'Keefe totaled four draw controls. Watson finished with two caused turnovers as Hee Jay Kang collected five saves.
Zorn and Krista Bushong each recorded six groundballs while Knaus tallied three draw controls. Cameron paced Gordon with three caused turnovers as Chyanne Wilson made nine saves.
MIT will travel to West Palm Beach, Fla. next week, where it will face Hartwick College and SUNY Potsdam. Gordon will host Salve Regina University in its home opener on Saturday, March 24.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Crosscutting Programs
PROGRAM GUIDELINESSolicitation 18-538
Important Information for Proposers
ATTENTION: Proposers using the Collaborators and Other Affiliations template for more than 10 senior project personnel will encounter proposal print preview issues. Please see the Collaborators and Other Affiliations Information website for updated guidance.
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 18-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 29, 2018. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 18-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computation and physical components. Advances in CPS will enable capability, adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability that will expand the horizons of these critical systems. CPS technologies are transforming the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet has transformed the way people interact with information. New, smart CPS drive innovation and competition in a range of application domains including agriculture, aeronautics, building design, civil infrastructure, energy, environmental quality, healthcare and personalized medicine, manufacturing, and transportation. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence with CPS creates new research opportunities with major societal implications.
While tremendous progress has been made in advancing CPS technologies, the demand for innovation across application domains is driving the need to accelerate fundamental research to keep pace. At the same time, the CPS program seeks to open new vistas for the research community to think beyond the usual cyber-physical paradigms and structures and propose creative ideas to address the myriad challenges of today's systems as well as those of the future that have not yet been designed or fielded.
The CPS program aims to develop the core research needed to engineer these complex CPS, some of which may also require dependable, high-confidence, or provable behaviors. Core research areas of the program include control, data analytics, autonomy, design, information management, internet of things (IoT), mixed initiatives including human-in- or on-the-loop, networking, privacy, real-time systems, safety, security, and verification. By abstracting from the particulars of specific systems and application domains, the CPS program seeks to reveal cross-cutting, fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application domains. The program additionally supports the development of methods, tools, and hardware and software components based upon these cross-cutting principles, along with validation of the principles via prototypes and testbeds. This program also fosters a research community that is committed to advancing education and outreach in CPS and accelerating the transition of CPS research into the real world.
All proposals must include the following inside the Project Description:
- A Research Description that identifies the core CPS research being addressed and how the research outcomes are translational to other application domains. It must also include a subsection titled "Intellectual Merit"
- An Evaluation/Experimentation Plan that describes how proposed concepts will be validated and outlines the metrics for success;
- A Project Management and Collaboration Plan that summarizes how the project team is ideally suited to realize the project goals and how the team will ensure effective collaboration; and
- Broader Impacts that describe how the research outcomes, which includes Broadening Participation in Computing, will be disseminated to a wide audience, go beyond traditional academic publications, and includes education and outreach from the research team spanning multiple levels of engagement.
In FY 2018, NSF is working closely with multiple agencies across the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T); the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); several National Institutes of Health (NIH) institutes and centers including the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Cancer Institute (NCI), and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS); and the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA, hereafter referred to as NIFA).
Proposals for three classes of research and education projects – differing in scope and goals – will be considered through this solicitation:
- Small projects may request a total budget of up to $500,000 for a period of up to 3 years. They are well suited to emerging new and innovative ideas that may have high impact on the field of CPS.
- Medium projects may request a total budget ranging from $500,001 to $1,000,000 for a period of up to 3 years. They are well suited to multi-disciplinary projects that accomplish clear goals requiring integrated perspectives spanning the disciplines.
- Frontier projects must address clearly identified critical CPS challenges that cannot be achieved by a set of smaller projects. Furthermore, Frontier projects should also look to push the boundaries of CPS well beyond today's systems and capabilities. Funding may be requested for a total of $1,000,001 to $7,000,000 for a period of 4 to 5 years.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
For example, A) You are very poor at sword fighting in a society where it is the expected norm. This gives mild narrative power to the player. For example to avoid duels, and to affect the outcome of a fight (even if your character suffers, the player has gained greater control.)B) You're a functional illiterate. This allows you to affect the outcome of an investigation (by not being able to do it) so you have to resort to other means. => greater narrative power to the player
For example,Godric, who is a pious[3] knight[6] with a drinking problem[4] can have his drink problem compelled by the other players so that he is made to dance on top of the bar with the sultry bar maid. (this should cost the other players somehow, since they gain narrative control). He can reply by invoking his pious[3] trait, but since his pious trait is limited to 3, the players may out-buy him and force him to dance anyway.
Basically a Knight is not better then a mercenary - only different. I know this is not realistic in real life - the advantages of greater amounts of free time afforded to nobility allowed for more time training and acquiring experience.
A baseline of mercenary is silly.
Now to take your other element, I can get to be a knight, but only if I penalize myself as common skills. What you are proposing is a zero sum game. Without a system of flaws to augment that, you will find out characters end up looking really odd. So I get to be a great starting fighter by buying off all my scholarly skills, my art skills, and maybe my social skills.
There would also be no accounting for backgrounds either. That is a flaw of D&D, and was only partially addressed by Rolemaster. There is a reason many gamers look at those systems and shake their heads as simple.
Re: Attributes. I guess you play games where attributes contribute little or nothing to the characters. In other systems they are key to conflict resolution. However, we could make them advantages or disadvantages effectively. You have Strength Gift, you can lift all sorts of things and do extra damage. You have the Strength Flaw, you are tired out lifting that book.
I too would like to avoid totally narrative games. Unless your entire crew is into the cooperative storytelling experience and willing to take part of the GM chore, those games work really well on the short term and fail in the medium to long.
I could suggest Thematic Batteries instead. A character has a trait that defines a significant part of them. Taking some adverse because of it, powers it up. Applying the trait, grants you greater success. I take Military Man as a Battery. I charge it when I get to be a hard ass about regulations, I am telling off my female officer because women should not be in the traditional military, when I dress down civilians. Once charged, I can use it to (bend the rules) and grant myself extra success or actual success (if I fail). If I take Scholar as a Battery, I charge it when I stop being practical, I go off on academic tangents, I argue about trivial things, I spend time reading rather than taking a watch. I could discharge it for knowing an obscure fact, fixing the science equipment, able to speak that odd language I didn't completely know until a moment ago.
If it doesn't add storytelling depth, it shouldn't be on your character sheet.

Key Labor figure Paul Howes has lashed out crudely at Labor MPs he says are undermining Prime Minister Julia Gillard, telling those who anonymously attack their leader to ''grow a pair''.
The Australian Workers' Union national secretary, who earlier in the week pledged his 110 per cent support for Ms Gillard, took aim at insiders who spoke anonymously to journalists and speculated about a return to Kevin Rudd or spread criticism.
''Nothing upsets me more lately than opening newspapers on a daily or weekly basis and reading anonymous quotes from 'senior Labor sources' undermining our Prime Minister, undermining the leadership of our movement and this country,'' he said in his closing speech to the AWU national conference on the Gold Coast.
''What a bunch of gutless pricks they are that they can't put their names to what they are saying.''
The tough talking drew applause from union delegates at the four-day national conference.
Mr Howes appeared on ABC's Lateline the night before Ms Gillard was installed as Prime Minister in June 2010 to declare that the powerful AWU had withdrawn its support for Mr Rudd.
Mr Howes told the gathering: ''I might get the odd attack for appearing once or twice too many times on television or being a bit too blunt about [former Rio Tinto chief] Tom Albanese or former prime ministers or going on shows like Lateline on that particular night and maybe that's right, but we say what we do, we have the guts to put our names to what we mean, we don't background.
''We get out on the front foot and we say it loudly and clearly.''
Mr Howes said he had a message for Labor members who were trying to undermine the cause.
''Grow a pair and put your name to what you're saying and have the fight out here publicly. Don't go slinking around the back rooms of the press gallery on a daily basis. Come out and articulate your case. Make your message. Have the discussion with the Australian people. Get out there and argue your point.''
The warning came after Mr Howes warned that unionists faced ''the fight of their lives'' to prevent the election of an ''extreme'' Tony Abbott-led government.
Mr Howes launched a full-throttle attack on Mr Abbott as he reaffirmed plans to send advocates into key marginal electorates to promote the struggling Gillard government.
The move ties into a broader union movement strategy to use word of mouth in the workplace in an attempt to turn the electoral tide in the face of opinion polls pointing to a landslide Labor defeat.
As the four-day AWU conference wrapped up on Thursday, hundreds of delegates signed a pledge vowing to ''stop Tony Abbott in his tracks''.
Mr Howes took up the attack to the Opposition Leader and some of his frontbenchers.
''We know what type of man Tony Abbott is. We know what type of man Eric Abetz is. We know what kind of joker Joe Hockey is. Hell, we even know who Barnaby Joyce is even if he doesn't know it himself.''
Mr Howes ridiculed the image of Senator Joyce as an average Australian, saying: ''He's a guy who goes on cruise ship holidays with Gina Rinehart. He's a guy who writes letters to Gina Rinehart's children begging them to stop litigation against their mother.''
Mr Howes labelled Mr Abbott as ''the most inconsistent so-called conviction politician that this nation has ever seen'', pointing to contradictory statements over climate change and WorkChoices.
He said Mr Abbott was only consistent on ''extreme social conservative'' positions on reproductive rights.
''It's hard to actually call Tony Abbott a conservative because he's so extreme; because he's so brash; because he resorts to the politics of smear and innuendo so much. That's not conservative; that's extreme. And when nations have extremist politicians and when extremists gain power it's a very, very scary thing.''
But after launching the attacks, Mr Howes bemoaned how politics had become ''so nasty, so personal''.
''I do despair sometimes at the level of political discourse in this country,'' he said.
Mr Howes later denied he was being hypocritical, saying: ''I'm not in Parliament . . . I think it's right to call a spade a spade.''

Zhik PowerPads 2 are leg "sleeves" meant to provide extra hiking support; they work under most of Zhik's wet gear as a stand-alone piece or in conjunction with other hiking/foul weather gear.
Instead of having the padding built into one, static place on a hiking suit, PowerPads give you the ability to customize the positioning so you get the hiking protection you need, where you want it.
Pads come as a three part system; The leg sleeve is 2.5mm Nylon Jersey Neoprene, then the inner padding layer is high-grade/high-strength fiberglass battens between two ~6mm thick neoprene pads, followed by the outer padding layer made out of an EVA closed cell foam pad.
Key Features:
- Pre-shaped pads provide a custom fit
- Comes with optional extra height padding
- Reinforced durability in high wear areas
- Streamlined design with minimal bulk
- ZiBand™ silicone banding on inside to minimize slipping and movement
- Reinforced durability in high wear areas
- Improved pad construction and shape
- Offers wider range of movement when hiking

Aug/ 2009
A couple of weeks ago, we had a special Sunday installment of the APS Civil War in Lasers. It was special for two reasons: there was a good bit of wind and, mercifully, it was the last installment. And while the results of the day aren't all that important (read: I did poorly), I left the day thinking that it might be time to invest in a little hiking assistance (read: I hurt).
The next morning, I limped down to our storefront here at the shop and started looking into my options (having just throwing down a handful of Aleve that was big enough for even Michael Jackson's doctors to show concern). While the hikers that we carry get good reviews from staff and customers alike, the first thought that entered my mind was "Sakes alive, I bet those things are a might toasty in the summer". Yes, I'm from the 1870's.
Personally, there's little appeal to wearing a 3mm Neoprene suit that covers from my knees up to my mid chest on a typical August day here in Annapolis, where it's 90+ degrees and the humidity is pushing 3,412%. Sure, that neoprene helps out when it gets cold -- but I'm a pansy that won't be setting foot near a Laser when it gets colder, so it doesn't help.
So, while I was taking a closer look over Zhik's options, I started to wonder if I could just use their PowerPads by themselves, below a pair of shorts. That would be a great, low bulk solution that would be infinitely more desirable. It could also prove to be a great solution for days with mixed forecasts -- you could go out without them on and quickly pull them on between races if the conditions warranted.
For those who aren't familiar with Zhik's PowerPads, here's a quick rundown. Zhik moved away from sewing/building pads into their hikers, opting to make the pads a separate item to allow the wearer to customize where the padding is placed. To pull this off, they created a 2.5mm neoprene sleeve that slides over your leg with an integral pocket for the hiking pads to be inserted.
The pads are made with two pieces of 6mm neoprene sandwiched together with high grade/high strength fiberglass battens running down the length of the pad for support with a separate EVA foam facing pad that goes between the battened pad and the deck for protection. The pads have two swatches of Velcro on them, which sticks to the inside of the sleeve to help hold them in place. The sleeve, with the pads in place, stretches to fit snuggly on your leg. After all is said and done, you have a compact hiking solution that works great with Zhik Wetwear.
But, one thing that Zhik does not address in its literature is using the PowerPads by themselves. All references regarding their use revolves around a combination of their numerous Wetwear options and the PowerPads. Was that because they wanted to encourage the sale of both PowerPads and a piece of wetwear or because they needed to be used together to work properly? If it was the former of the two options, it would kind of make sense -- between the stretch of the PowerPad sleeve and the form fitting nature of the wetwear over the top of the PowerPad, it would certainly hold the pads firmly in place. So... will the PowerPad stay in place by itself? Let's find out.
When I started to think of the ways that I needed to test the PowerPads, I had to first figure out the ways in which they could move. It's pretty clear that if they were going to move, it would be on one of two planes -- up and down or twisting on your leg. In order to test their "sticking ability", I simply put on a pair underneath a pair of shorts and tried to get the PowerPads to move.
I started out by wearing them around the shop for awhile while I worked. I figured that if the PowerPads would move while I was just walking around or sitting, there was little point in going any further.
From there, I did the best that I could to simulate sailing while, you know, not actually sailing. I'm not 100% on this one, but something tells me that the boss might have gotten a might touchy had I peaced out at Noon for a few hours of Laser sailing, even if it was in the name of research. Mercifully, nobody was around when I sat at the top of the stairs and used the top step/landing to simulate a Laser deck, sliding back and forth, to and fro, to see if I could get the pads to move. No, there's no pictures or video of me moving across the carpet like a dog with worms...
Results after all of the movement were relatively positive. There's almost zero "twisting" of the PowerPad on your thigh -- the elasticity of the sleeve creates a firm grip on your leg that prevents any side to side movement. Now, it's important to make sure that the PowerPad sleeve itself is properly sized. If it's too small, you won't be able to get it high enough on your leg and it will cut off circulation, causing your leg asleep before you reach the race course. If it's too large, it WILL twist -- I tried on the next size up and got it to roll. Zhik has one of the more exact/innovative sizing charts of any clothing manufacturer and the PowerPads are sized to work with that sizing chart (clicky).
When it came to getting the PowerPads to move up/down my leg, I found that due to the elasticity of the sleeve, it's really quite impossible to get it move up your leg. However, over the course of my little experiment I was able to get the PowerPad to move down a couple of centimeters. This was enough movement on my leg to get the battened hiking pad close enough to the back of my knee to impede my mobility.
Personally, I think that some of this has to do with the sleeve "settling in" once you've got it on and worn it a bit. Getting the sleeve on can involve a some effort and various techniques to get it high on your thigh -- I'm pretty sure that as I used the PowerPads, all of the techniques ironed themselves out as each time I was able to get it to move down my leg a little, it seemed to stop moving and hold in about the same place. To offset this settling, I set the pad just a little higher in the sleeve and it seemed work great. A
s for putting the pads on when you're on the water -- no. They're tricky to get on and the only way that I could get them to sit properly was to drop my shorts and do a little dance to get them on. Now, if you're not the shy type who appreciates the challenges that a pitching Laser or other dinghy might provide, have at it... but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd most definitely want to hit the course with them already on.
So, in conclusion, you can certainly use PowerPads by themselves under a pair of shorts if you're so inclined to do so. It's probably going to take a small adjustment period so you can figure out the best placement for the pads, so don't pick these up from your favorite neighborhood APS walk-in store or APS website and immediately head out for a regatta.

Melanie Phillips takes a look at the atrocities committed in Mumbai and finds that "they told us very clearly a number of things." Here is one message that should be hard to mistake:
Doctors working in a hospital where all the bodies, including that of the terrorists, were taken said they had not seen anything like this in their lives.
"Bombay has a long history of terror. I have seen bodies of riot victims, gang war and previous terror attacks like bomb blasts. But this was entirely different. It was shocking and disturbing," a doctor said.
Asked what was different about the victims of the incident, another doctor said: "It was very strange. I have seen so many dead bodies in my life, and was yet traumatised. A bomb blast victim's body might have been torn apart and could be a very disturbing sight. But the bodies of the victims in this attack bore such signs about the kind of violence of urban warfare that I am still unable to put my thoughts to words," he said.
Asked specifically if he was talking of torture marks, he said: "It was apparent that most of the dead were tortured. What shocked me were the telltale signs showing clearly how the hostages were executed in cold blood," one doctor said.
The other doctor, who had also conducted the post-mortem of the victims, said: "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on the 26th itself. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said.
Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said.
Phillips comments:
The atrocities demonstrated with crystal clarity what the Islamist war is all about – and the western commentariat didn't understand because it simply refuses to acknowledge, even now, what that war actually is. It does not arise from particular grievances. It is not rooted in "despair" over Palestine. It is not a reaction to the war in Iraq. It is a war waged in the name of Islam against America, Britain, Hindus, Jews and all who refuse to submit to Islamic conquest.
What of the terrorists' treatment of their Jewish targets? Phillips writes:
They went to some lengths in addition to single out a centre for observant Jews. Rabbi Holtzberg and his wife Rivka were murdered not because of Palestine but simply because they were Jews. That is because hatred of Jews as Jews is fundamental to the Islamists' hatred of the west – and of Israel.
A lot of people are determined to miss the message from Mumbai. Among them are Fareed Zakaria ("One of the untold stories of India is that the Muslim population has not shared in the boom the country has enjoyed over the last ten years") and Martha Nussbaum ("it's important to consider Indian terrorism in a broader context").
Saul Bellow's epigram looks like an eternal verity: "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Hi Damonk and friends...
I know this isn't Framed related, but thought you might be interested.
Some of you may or may not know that in addition to Makeshift Miracle, I have been posting tiny self-contained web comic tales called Flipside Stories.
I'm proud of my latest one and thought I'd let you know where it was:
http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?n ... ew=current
I'm trying different styles and approachs from Makeshift, which has been a good booster for my creativity.
I know Damonk likes pushing the envelope in terms of medium. This isn't about medium altering changhes, just art-style choices and variety for me. I hope you get a kick out of it.

Ivonne's Gutsy Renovation
We love when there's great juxtaposition in a home. Mixing two opposing elements and styles typically ends up in an amazing merriment that is inspiring and interesting. Ivonne has reached that successful juxtaposition point in her Brooklyn apartment.
Ivonne renovated her Williamsburg apartment not too long ago and did a fantastic job. The original canvas is an old industrial building that actually went through some very trying times. The building was in peril and the tenants were facing the possibility of losing their apartments forever. Luckily the building fought back and was brought up to code and Ivonne was able to keep her fantastic apartment.
The renovated kitchen is obviously completely new. It's unbelievably simple, but inspiringly smart. Its boxy nature ensures that everything have its place and there be no excess. The color palette falls right in place with the simplistic approach and we really appreciate that. A pale grey mixed with white, and long, narrow handles work perfectly together and help enhance the industrial-ness of the rest of the apartment.
She incorporated a dining nook into her living room that has a view anyone would be envious of. We can just picture ourselves sitting there, eating our favorite dinner and watching the bustle of the city from our quiet apartment.

Seventeen Artists from Around the World to Show their Works at Arsenale Novissimo
Almagul Menlibayeva, Exodus, 2009. Priska C. Juschka Fine Art, New York. HD DVD, 11 min.
The romantic gesture sags with the weight of convention; it is framed as an exchange of gifts and stock phrases. Social conditions reduce love to a marriage of convenience allowing aging bodies to temporarily forget about the imminence of death. Physical and emotional intimacy are tools for dispelling the loneliness that would otherwise open a space for the contemplation of nonexistence.
But take away the tacky conventions and bland comforts of romance, and love is not a distraction from existential crisisit is a crisis, a sensation of the present so powerful it brings about a confrontation with the void. Unconditional love suffocates and seizes, subdues and annexes. It has the immediacy of both an orgasm and a pistol to the head.
Unconditional Love presents a spectrum of artistic approaches to defining the essence of unbridled love. Curators Alexandrina Markvo, Alinda Sbragia, and Christina Steinbrecher have chosen artists from different countries and generations to trigger a spontaneous and surprising dialogue between artworks. All three are experienced in fostering the exchanges of art and ideas across cultural boundaries. Markvo organized Sir Norman Fosters retrospective in Moscow and Russian Act, a major festival of Russian art in London. Sbragia has taken part in projects to show Russian art in Italy and Italian art in Russia, while Steinbrecher, born in Germany, has worked at venues from the Palais de Tokyo in Paris to galleries in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
(Tatyana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatsky, Vladimir Fridkes)
(Russian, live in Moscow)
Unconditional Love will feature the premiere of The Feast of Trimalchio, a new video project by the Moscow-based collective AES+F. The work updates and abstracts the story of the Roman plutocrat Trimalchio from Petronius Satyricon, transposing the orgies of masters and servants to the setting of a modern-day luxury hotel. The Asian maids perform services for their white male clients, and then the clients return them the favours. The loop of reciprocity suggests the frozen temporality of glamour, where only the present moment of youth, beauty, and hedonistic pleasure is valid. The Feast of Trimalchio caresses the contours of ephemeral passion, and in doing so it throws into relief the profundity of unconditional love.
Marina Abramovic
(Serbian, b. 1946, lives in New York)
Serbian artist Marina Abramovic is the grandmother of performance art. Her classic Rest Energy, 1980, documents a performance in which Abramovics partner Ulay draws an arrow in a tense bow, aiming directly at her heart. With a single stroke, the scenario merges the ultimate trust of love with the threat of impending death. In a more recent work, the photographic series Virgin Warrior with Hearts, 2006, made in collaboration with Jan Fabre, Abramovic obscures her body in full armour as she bears forth bloody, scarlet hearts as battle trophies, violently reinvigorating the cliché of the organs role in the sensation of love.
Sam Adams
(British, b. 1977, lives in London)
Sam Adams is a young British artist whose mixed media abstractions have been noted for their vibrant, irregular geometries, and austere coloration. For Unconditional Love Adams has produced three interactive Love Chairs, which make viewers part of the exhibition. When they sit in the chairs, they are not aware that everyone in the gallery can hear what they are saying. While it has the potential to reveal strangers intimate thoughts, Adams work is not intrusive or a prank played on the viewer. Rather, it is an expression of his belief that the visitor is a natural part of the exhibition environment.
Artists Anonymous
The collective Artists Anonymous works in painting, photography, video, installation, and performance, all while playing with the boundaries between those mediums. They paint the after image, meticulously creating pairs of photorealistic paintings that look like a snapshot and its negative print. how to persuade love to stay and the according negatives have personal origins, but viewers can recognize themselves in the images common banality.
Angelo Bucarelli
(Italian, b. 1954, lives in Rome)
After studying architecture, Angelo Bucarelli worked in various fields, including photography and film. He was an assistant to Fellini and Claude Lelouch, and also received the Olbia Award in 1974 for best Italian documentary. He is an artist, critic, and curator whose text-based sculptures involve clever, thought-provoking wordplay. Unconditional Love features a new iron piece by Bucarelli. Unpolished and dense, its physical presence conveys the weight of unbridled love.
Aristarkh Chernyshev
(Russian, b. 1968, lives in Moscow)
Trained as an engineer, Aristarkh Chernyshev fell into the world of artists squats in Moscow during perestroika and continues to make art projects that connect his fluency in technology with conceptual ideas. For Unconditional Love Chernyshev plans to construct computerized, mechanical lava lamps, exaggerations of the idea of the decorative object that incorporate pornography in their moving images.
Wim Delvoye
(Belgian, b. 1965, lives in Ghent)
Belgian artist Wim Delvoye has exhibited at prestigious forums around the world. His works toe the border between art and other areas of contemporary visual culture, and always involve sensory pleasures and intricate surfaces. Delvoyes virally popular X-ray series makes vivid use of contradictory elements, as radiology (a measure of prevention) and the skeleton as memento mori function in tandem. On top of that, the work also celebrates life through a depiction of sexual pleasure, though the excitement of contact is ironically mediated by a medical device.
Dasha Fursey
(Russian, b. 1978, lives in Saint Petersburg)
The young Russian painter Dasha Fursey works with portraiture and its attendant codes of femininity. Her Ave Maria updates the iconography of the Virgin Mary. A pregnant woman looks directly and confidently at the viewer; she is painted with richly textured, thick brushstrokes that emphasize the fleshiness of her skin and the fullness of her belly. The figure is earthy, yet the gold in the background hints at iconographic conventions of depicting the metaphysical and spiritual.
Miltos Manetas
(Greek, b. 1964, lives in London)
Greek artist Miltos Manetas is best known for his conceptual web sites that use clever animations to pay playful homage to great artists. He also paints pieces of computer hardware and peripheral equipment, depicting the cold metal and synthetic materials as soft, nuanced figures, and makes small parts monumental by painting them on large canvases. In Manetas execution, an ordinary plug takes on a melancholy lonelinessa male extension pining for the female.
Almagul Menlibayeva
(Kazakh, b. 1969, lives and works in Germany, Kazakhstan)
Like many Central Asian artists of her generation, Almagul Menlibayeva is interested in the efforts to establish a post-Soviet national identity in her homeland, which usually involve a braiding of Islamic and pagan traditions with market-friendly global culture. The imagery of Menlibayevas works both echoes dominant culture and critiques it. Her video Exodus transports the viewer to present-day Kazakhstan, where a strange and powerful tale unravels. As men and women pack up their yurts with the clear intent to move on, a young girl watches, captivated and immobile. She seems to be left behind. Her image invokes the experience of geographic uprooting in a global world. In an interlude that offers another take on immobility, two women become birdlike creatures as the hair on their violently thrashing heads begins to look like wings.
Angelo Musco
(Italian, b. Naples, lives in New York)
Angelo Muscos latest work, Hadal, takes its name from the geological term for the deepest part of the ocean. A mobile nest of hundreds of nude, silvery human bodies swirls in a cloudy darkness evocative of the deep sea. The grouping of lithe male and female figures is erotic, while the dynamism and the lack of individual features makes the scene look like a swarm of sperm cells, suggesting the vulnerability and mystery of lifes beginnings.
Youssef Nabil
(Egyptian, b. 1972, lives in New York)
The ironic self-portraiture of the young photographer Youssef Nabil offers a dry and instructive counterpoint to the more intense expressions of emotion in Unconditional Love. The first panel in Youssef Nabils two-part self-portrait My time to go¸ 2007, shows the artist alone, asleep in bed beneath a framed poster of two cherubs in reverie. In the next panel, the unmade bed lies empty, creating a contrast between the dynamic body that has left the room and the static language of popular romance embodied by the poster.
Velena Nikova
(Russian, b. 1968, lives in Rome)
The daughter of an orthodox priest, Velena Nikova started her career in 1987, when she received a prize as the best young designer in the Soviet Union. After her first group exhibition in Moscows Central Exhibition Hall in 1990, she performed with Valery Cherkashin in Silver. Underground Erotic, a conceptual art exhibition in a metro station in central Moscow. Today her silk-screens are preserved in many museum collections. The new series of prints of canvas show the traces of bodies partially obscured by bursts of light, which makes it impossible to tell whether the arms of her phantom figures are thrown up in self-defence or tangled in an embrace.
Jaume Plensa
(Catalan, b. 1955, lives in Barcelona)
An internationally renowned sculptor, Jaume Plensa has installed public artworks in Chicago, Stockholm, and other major cities. His works exude a contemplative spirit and a sensitivity for their environment. Unconditional Love will include his installation Gluck Auf, where diaphanous curtains contain the complete text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, broken down into letters and rearranged in fragments. Plensas gibberish remix of the statement communicates the distance between the ideal of human rights and the failure to meet them in many societies. It makes a neat parallel for the gap between the feeling of lovethat most basic freedomand the weakness of our verbal expressions for it.
Olympia Scarry
(Swiss, b. 1983, lives in London)
Olympia Scarry will present a new piece for the show called Polythene.
Scarry's work is about vulnerability, inner chaos and her attempt to solve her compulsive interpersonal relations. For the show Unconditional Love she presents an installation made out of the material which recalls the title (polythene) that highlights this state of defense towards the exterior world. Because of its outstanding toughness and its cut, wear and excellent chemical resistance, is used in a wide diversity of applications. These include can and bottle handling, moving parts on weaving machines, artificial joints, edge protection on ice rinks and butchers' chopping boards. It competes with Aramid in bulletproof vests, and is commonly used for the construction of articular portions of implants used for hip and knee replacements. Olympia Scarry chose this material for all these reasons.
Olga Soldatova
(Russian, b. 1965, lives in Moscow)
Olga Soldatova is Moscow-based artist and designer who applies the medieval Russian tradition of embroidery with beads to nostalgic Soviet themes, a technique that, paradoxically, yields works with a contemporary, sensual flair. Inspired by Pop arts placement of the artist in the role of a machine, and making a self-deprecating joke about her own commercial work as a designer. The Art Machine sells precious petit art works oozed with sticky romance. It plays upon the commercialization of take-away, pocket size memories that can be bought at tourist shops.
Vadim Zakharov
(Russian, b. 1959, lives in Moscow and Cologne)
Vadim Zakharov makes wry, cerebral, conceptual works that reflect his coming of age in Moscows underground art scene of the early 1980s. His sculpture Execution of Love was inspired by both an antique chair for punishing children he came across in a provincial German museum and the old Chinese practice of torture that seats a criminal over live bamboo shoots so that they will grow into his body. Here the seat perches above a live rose, turning an overused symbol of romance into an instrument of torture.

Scallop season opened in town waters on Monday with a healthy crop from Napeague Harbor providing local markets with the much-anticipated plump nuggets that many on the East End associate with Thanksgiving. And now there's a new way to eat them.
At the Lester shucking shed on Abraham's Path in East Hampton on Tuesday, the door opened and a visitor was greeted by a smell of clean, mossy sweetness as the scallop meats, which have almost religious status here, flew from Jimmy Lester's hands.
The veteran shucker mused about shucking as the offerings piled up in a plastic tub, and the empty shells clattered into a barrel. "I used to shuck five pounds and have a cigarette. Every five pounds a cigarette. I'm much faster since I quit."
Bruce Sasso of Stuart's Market in Amagansett, where scallops were for sale this week for $24.99 a pound, described those from Napeague as "a nice large scallop. The guys had their limit rather quickly. Everyone is on the same spot, so who knows how long it will last. But they're the best we've seen in a long time."
That the crop will be smaller than last year is the result of an ominous algae bloom, particularly in state waters like Northwest Harbor, which usually provides most of those on the South Fork.
But while shucking proceeded here, Greg Rivara, a biologist and scallop specialist with the Cornell Cooperative Extension, was on a Long Island Rail Road train headed to the famous Oyster Bar in New York's Grand Central Station with a sample bag of something new.
The different product, okayed for sale by the State Department of Environmental Conservation on June 25, is a yearling, ranging from the size of a quarter to a silver dollar. They are steamed open, clam-like, and eaten whole — pretty blue eyes, whisker-like tentacles, roe, digestive gland and all — the stuff normally discarded when a mature scallop's adductor muscle is cut from the shell, the way Jimmy Lester, and generations of local shuckers before him, have done it.
When they are steamed, their body parts curl up around the adductor, adding substance and flavor, Mr. Rivara said. The new product and the traditional one can be compared to the difference between veal and steak, he said. "They're delicious served on the shell like mussels and small hard clams."
The Cooperative Extension has joined forces with four North Fork oyster farmers, including Mr. Rivara, to market yearlings, which are smaller than the legal size of those taken in the wild. Unlike larger scallops, for which harvesting seasons are regulated, growers are being allowed to set their own season for yearlings. However, they can only be sold in the shell; the state does not allow them to be sold as shucked meats.
Mr. Rivara said harvesting yearlings from farmed scallops was considered decades ago, and was calculated at the time to have a market value of $1 million in New York State alone.
On Saturday, Mr. Rivara squired Florence Fabricant, The New York Times food columnist, out to see the scallops in their farmed beds.
East End Oysters in Great Peconic Bay, Cornell Oysters of Southold (no relation to Cornell University or its Cooperative Extension), Widows Hole Oyster Company of Greenport, and the Oyster Pond Shellfish Company of Orient are cooperating in the project.
The new product will not be available in volume until sometime in 2013, Mr. Rivara said, although the growers have a number on hand and would welcome hearing from anyone interested in giving them a try.
