Publisher's Description
Lens-Based Sculpture shows the relation between sculpture and photography for the first time from the perspective of the history of sculpture.
The overview with 200 works, spanning the twentieth century and beyond, from more than 70 international artists shows how modern sculpture detached itself from the millennial principle of statuary sculpture and evolved into a new artistic praxis where the whole of reality with its diverse tactile, spatial, and media phenomena is sculptural material.
The photo camera serves as sculpture's primary tool, as a sketchbook and facilitator for spatial and structural representation in mass and form.
Featuring the work of Umberto Boccioni, Marcel Duchamp, Tony Cragg, Valie Export, Rebecca Horn, Ron Mueck, Bruce Nauman, Giuseppe Penone, and Kiki Smith, among many others.

Publisher's Description
This is the largest retrospective book of Sune Jonsson's life's work ever made. He is regarded as one of Sweden's most important documentary photographers. The ingress and sedate portraits moves everyone who sees them. People who may seem remote populate his visual world, but they are only a few decades away. The pictures are important documents but also timeless poetry.
Sune Jonsson (1930-2009) worked for nearly his entire life in the county of Västerbotten. He took as his life's work to document the agricultural life he saw disappeared when an increasingly large scale and urban society replaced the old agricultural landscape.
The monograph Life And Work spans most of Sune Jonsson's work, from his debue with the book Byn med det blå huset via Bilder från den stora flyttningen to Och tiden blir ett förunderligt ting. The text is written by Val Williams, Professor of History and Culture of Photography at the University of the Arts London and former curator at the Hasselblad Center . Sune Jonsson's own writings provide inputs to his various projects.
The book is published in cooperation with Sune Jonsson Center for Documentary Photography at the Museum of Västerbotten.

Larry Fink
Publisher's Descriptiopn
In the late 50s after an unsuccessful stint in college, master photographer Larry Fink dropped out and began an odyssey of hitchhiking through America. Starting out in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and moving on to Chicago, Larry travelled eastward through Cincinnati and finally back to his native soil on Long Island where his family waited with dismayed but open arms.
Clearly Long Island was not an optimal place for young Fink to remain. Striking out on his own once again, but this time for nearby Beat mecca, New York City, Fink settled down on Minetta Lane with a chap who fancied himself a poet.
Larry was quick to hit MacDougal Street where he met Turk, Mary, Bobbie, Motha, Ambrose, Randy, and Mike Stanley, not to mention Hugh Romney (a.k.a Wavy Gravy), LeRoi Jones, and so many more. Photographing, singing, and smoking weed scored in small brown paper bags on the avenues of the Village, Fink was living with internal rage, infernal optimism, and oh so many new freedoms. Just a kid, Larry yearned to get out and fight the revolution and to photograph while doing so.
The crew lived all together in the sub-basement of the Sullivan Street Theatre. Being next to the Village Gate, a now legendary jazz club, they dug their way to the rear of the club brick by brick to listen to their princes of expressive freedom: John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and Art Blakey.
Fink, a Marxist and red diaper baby, didn't immediately fit in with Turk's crew, but they needed a young, drug-fueled, jazz-loving (and playing) photographer to document their visionary plight. So, it was decided that Larry sign on—they soon left New York to cross America for Mexico—in search of the soul of the Aztecs, the freedoms of the road, the compulsion of speed, the needy thrust of exaggerated adolescence. They moved fast and hysterically forward…
"It was my fate to be aligned with the Beats because of my propensity for drugs, anger, and poetry. Since they were second generation, without the same sense of immortal obsession such as the like of Kerouac and Ginsberg, they had a distinct need to be documented. Perhaps that is why they tolerated me. We were not a happy marriage and got our divorce in Mexico City. The pictures, made in 1958 and 1959, come from MacDougal Street in New York City all the way down to Mexico, and on the road in America." —Larry Fink

Publisher's Description
In the history of art, there are abundant nudes of all types, but from a contemporary perspective they have become less numerous, their innocence almost entirely disappeared. With photography's establishment as an art form, other ways of seeing have emerged that look at the body beyond its sexual, sensual, or even aesthetic connotations. The pictures in this edition break through the stereotypes to rediscover real beauty, where the idea of the photographer and model is an anachronism. With an essay by Sergio Rubira, portfolios by Jorge Fuembuena, Naomi Harris, Paul Kooiker, Malerie Marder and Cheryl Sourkes, and contributions by more than fifteen exemplary artists.

Overseas deliveries Please note that, as this is a heavy item, overseas postage will be charged at twice our standard rates.
Publisher's Description
For more than fifteen years, French photographer Bernard Plossu took extended trips to Mexico to photograph people, landscapes, and a culture in flux. ¡Vámonos! Bernard Plossu in México captures the bohemian adventure of this traveler's four journeys, the first in 1965–66 and the last in 1981. His black-and-white and color images have transfixed generations of young people in France, who cherish him in the way young Americans celebrate Jack Kerouac. Plossu's romantic vision encompasses coquettish women, peasants at work, fog-wrapped trails in the jungle, and waves lapping at sandy beaches. Yet Plossu is also aware of poverty and the challenges facing a modernizing society, and his photographs capture the nobility of all his subjects. Along with more than three hundred photographs, organized into chapters representing each of his Mexican journeys, this first compilation of Plossu's Mexican work includes an essay by prominent French photo editor Claude Nori that highlights Plossu's vagabond spirit. Additional commentaries are provided by renowned writers, including the book's editor, Salvador Albiñana, and Emmanuel Guigon, Francisco Salinas, Alfonso Morales, and José Agustín.

Giovanni Presutti
Publisher's Description
Over the last few years, the Architecture Photographer Giovanni Presutti has photographed many of the most important buildings in major European cities, placing a special focus on constructions built in the last decade. The methodical research and surveys which he carries out before each trip have led him to the conclusion that the majority of these buildings have two key aspects in common. The first is their very prominence; their devotion to aesthetics. It is clear that the works are produced by contemporary society, with even those featuring complicated internal structures increasingly characterized by attention to exteriority. It is important to note, however, that these buildings do not lack functionality. The second is the uniformity of style and planning. Presutti encountered similar ideas and materials in every country he visited which were often completely unconnected to local traditions. This frequently made it difficult to place a certain building in a given country. It is as though the European Union, having not yet achieved political or social unity, has somehow succeeded at an architectural level. Giovanni Presutti explores these issues in Contemporanea, emphasizing the aesthetic qualities his subjects have in common; the lines, materials and reflections, as seen from different perspectives. In the process, he has sought out pureness of form, and created a unique context; one that is representative of our time . A foreword by Antonio Belvedere, and an introduction by the Parisian-born curator, critic and photography historian Gabriel Bauret, provide a critical perspective on this collection of images.

Peter Bialobrzeski
Publisher's Description
During his travels through China, Peter Bialobrzeski was fascinated by the so-called nail houses. Surrounded by tall, newly constructed buildings, these houses have been earmarked for demolition, but their owners resolutely refuse to vacate. In his thought-provoking series the artist photographs these isolated structures, often in the evening hours, when the brightly lit interiors convey the domestic comfort that these homes provide for their owners, despite all the cracks in the walls. Peter Bialobrzeski (* 1961 in Wolfsburg) uses his camera to offer these renitent structures moral support. Following the publication of Case Study Homes and Informal Arrangements, this striking series completing the Habitat trilogy poses uncomfortable questions to the viewer. It also emphatically underscores the fundamental right of every human being to a home and sense of security.

Publisher's Description
Nadav Kander is a recipient of the renowned Prix Pictet and one of today's most successful photographers. When he learned of the existence of two "closed" cities on the border between Kazakhstan and Russia, he knew that he would have to visit them. For Dust he photographed the desolated landscapes of the Aral Sea and captured fascinating images of the restricted military zones of Priozersk and Kurtchatov, which did not appear on any map until well after the end of the Cold War. Long-distance missiles were tested in Priozersk under great secrecy. Hundreds of atomic bombs were detonated in the so-called Polygon near Kurchatov until the program ended in 1989. The bombs were exploded in a remote but still populated area, and covert studies were made of the effects of the radiation on the unsuspecting inhabitants. Kander writes how the ticking of the Geiger counter on his belt while he photographed reminded him that he should not become too enthralled with the aesthetic and painterly allure of the crumbling ruins.

Gerry Badger
Publisher's Description
The Genius of Photography sets out to explore – through some of the key events, personalities and images that have marked the development of the medium – what the essence of the part-art, part-science is. Six short chapters set the evolution of photography in its social context, but at the heart of the book is a quest to understand what makes a truly great photograph. And the twenty or so iconic images chosen to illustrate each chapter are examined and explained in essays that place them within the many unfolding stories of photography while illuminating the underlying issues the book addresses. Can we 'believe' what a photograph shows us? Why is a photograph more than the sum of its subject-matter? How does the photographer deal with history? Why is photography the melancholy art?
Provocative and enlightening by turns, Gerry Badger's critical perspective and keen aesthetic sense will make this a landmark book for anyone who wants to know more about one of the most important artforms of the twenty-first century. The Genius of Photography was originally published to tie-in with a BBC series, produced by Wall to Wall Media'.

Joan Fontcuberta
Publisher's Description
This book is the first English translation of a renowned collection of essays by Joan Fontcuberta, in which he considers the technological shift that photography has undergone in recent years. The medium finds itself torn between loss and hope, between the disappearance of the silver gelatin photograph and the possibilities of the digital medium. Fontcuberta uses the motif of Pandora's box to conceptualise the capricious nature of photography, its fickle relationship to truth – employing the Greek myth concerning a large jar containing myriad forms of human unhappiness, or blessings, depending on the version you read. As Pandora's camera, digital technology spells calamity to some and liberation to others; it is blamed for irretrievably discrediting veracity, but at the same time it introduces a new degree of truth.
In his signature ironic style and playful tone, Fontcuberta examines the new principles that have arisen within the digital ecosystem, in jocular essays such as 'I Knew the Spice Girls' or 'The Mystery of the Missing Nipple'. His critical reflections and poetic evocations are inspired by the hope that still remains in the notion of a postmodern Pandora's camera – one that might not only describe our environment, but also bring transparency to it.

Joan Fontcuberta
Publisher's Description
Joan Fontcuberta, in his original and multifaceted work Camouflages, impressively brings into question the concept of reality, exploring camouflage in all its aspects. The idea develops through ten thematic areas: independent, but strictly related as they represent as many viewpoints on the alteration of reality.
From the images of a fossil mermaid to virtual landscapes, created using famous artworks as moulds, passing through paradoxical miracles and fake botanical plates. The purpose is to spread "doubt" in the mind of the observer. The stars are midges and dust on the windscreen of a car, behind the terrorist hides an ordinary actor and an imaginary Russian astronaut disappears in space as well as in all documents and official photographs.
Through these images Fontcuberta, with an ironic and disillusioned eye, deals with broader subjects: the role of religion in society and politics, criticising superstition and irrational; the limitations connected with the idea of authorship, style, signature and authenticity of a work of art; a reflection upon realism conceived as "belief", "faith" or conviction.

Another Great Day at Sea chronicles Dyer's experiences, with humour and everyday tender human stories, on the largest aircraft carrier in the world, the USS George H.W. Bush. Dyer navigates the carrier's daily routines and protocols: from flight deck choreography through to kitchens serving meals for a crew of five thousand to the deafening complexity of catapult and arresting gear.
Another Great Day at Sea is a dazzling social experiment, complete with arresting, full-colour photography by award-winning Magnum photographer Chris Steele-Perkins, a definitive, boundary collapsing work written by an author whose books otherwise defy definition.

Publisher's Description
The images in this book are part of a project documenting small rural communities (1,000 inhabitants or less) in the Canadian West. As demographic changes – 'rural drain, urban claim' – persist, many would argue that the rural is becoming a redundant sidepiece in a world that is increasingly concerned with the urban. The project investigates how rural communities in the Canadian West struggle to hold onto their heritage despite the diminishing vitality of these towns.

Hans van der Meer
Overseas deliveries Please note that, as this is a heavy item, overseas postage will be charged at twice our standard rates.
Publisher's Description
At the beginning of the 1995 football season, Hans van der Meer set out to take a series of football photographs that avoided the clichéd traditions of modern sports photography. In an attempt to record the game in its original form—a field, two goals and 22 players—he sought matches at the bottom end of the amateur leagues, the opposite end of the scale to the Champions' League. And he avoided the enclosed environment of the stadium and tight telescopic details and hyperbole of action photography. Preferring neutral lighting, framing and camera angles, he chose instead to pull back from the central subject of the pitch, locating the playing field and its unfolding action within a specific landscape and context. He was heavily influenced by the old tradition of photography in which a wide view of the action often resulted in elements of the locality being present in the image.
Van der Meer began by focusing on sites within the Netherlands and in 1998 he published Dutch Fields, followed by a DVD, Flemish Fields, in 2000. His European odyssey has since taken him from small towns in the remote regions of Europe—from Bihariain in Romania to Björkö in Sweden, from Torp in Norway to Alcsóörs in Hungary, from Bartkowo in Poland to Beire in Portugal—and to the fringes of the major conurbations of Greece, Finland, England, France, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, Holland, Slovakia, Denmark, Ireland, Wales, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain and Italy. These acute and subtle observations of the poetry and absurdity of human behavior connect the game of football to the basic futility of the human condition. The small tragicomedies are dwarfed by the serenity and permanence of the natural or manmade world that surrounds them but in their pathos can be found the original passion and humanity of the game.

Joachim Brohm
Publisher's Description
"No two of the little houses are the same… carefully proportioned furnishings here are wildly contradicted with slapdash decorations over there. Everyone has thought about their buildings, brought materials, laid walls, used power drills, insulated, glued things, extended the previous tenant's shed, retro-fitted a bigger window, added a television antenna. They are strange hybrid buildings, between tool sheds and dachas, gingerbread houses and orangeries." Ulf Erdmann Ziegler
Joachim Brohm rose to prominence in the early 1980s, one of the first photographers in Europe to take pictures exclusively in colour, connecting the everyday cultural landscape with the new possibilities of colour photography. This collection titled Typology 1979 is one of his very earliest series, depicting 35 allotment sheds from the Ruhr valley region of Germany, painterly images that are an everyday inventory – of garden structures, of human activity. Influenced by the great American photographers such as William Eggleston and Robert Adams, he also looked to his German contemporaries, Bernd and Hilla Becher, whose 'typologies' are heralded in the collection's title.

Jem Southam
Publisher's Description
"Winters, like ice ages, are Janus faced, for after the freeze comes thaw and flood, as water is returned to life and movement. Freeze, thaw, flood: the great climatic cycles that created the topography of the northern hemisphere, and which continue to shape the idea of winter that lies deep in our cultural imagination."
Richard Hamblyn
In November 2010, after a photographic lull of half a year, Jem Southam took a photograph which became the first in this series, The River Winter and which spurred him to make one of the most concentrated bodies of work in his career. From late autumn through to the earliest signs of spring, along the banks of the river Exe in Devon, Southam chose locations and took photographs, returning at regular intervals. This pattern continued for the next five months with Southam documenting the subtle agencies of change transforming the landscape. By the end of January 2011 he realized this had become a new work, one that caught the effects of the Earth's turn on film, one which followed the passage of a single winter.
The shift in seasons is presented through a sequence of ten by eight colour contact prints, with which an essay by Richard Hamblyn explores how, since the last ice-age, winter has embedded itself into our cultural psyche.
Jem Southam (b. 1950) is a key figure in British landscape photography, working across twenty-five years. His work is included in many important collections including Rijksmuseum, Museum Folkwang, and the Yale Centre for British Art. He has been the subject of numerous solo shows including Tate St. Ives in 2004 and The Victoria & Albert Museum in 2006.

Jan Tove's first published work for several years, Silent Landscape represents a significant maturation in his vision. If, in Riverside, the relatively traditional nature photography of Beyond Order coexisted with work influenced by contemporary American landscape photographers, here they are successfully integrated. Photographs mostly from Sweden but also from Norway, Denmark and Scotland. See here for all the spreads from the book.

But I needed to find out for myself. Two weeks later I was gone, witnessing my new world wizz by, especially at dusk, then darkness as I watched the sum of all the city lights cast my silhouette across the pine trees of the Florida panhandle. This was it, I was riding my very first freight train. And soon, what would begin as mere natural curiosity and self-discovery would evolve into a casting call of sorts, taking photographs of my newfound friends.

Lorenzo Vitturi
Signed copies of 2nd edition
Publisher's Description
LORENZO VITTURI's work is often found at the intersection of sculpture and photography and his latest project, Dalston Anatomy, saw him spend time in London's Ridley Road Market taking pictures, making sculptures and creating collages with materials and objects he found amongst the debris of the marketplace. Vitturi's process is largely concerned with the creation, consumption and preservation of images. The makeshift sculptures he created mimic the organic and temporary nature of the market, and their documentation is the way in which they endure after diminishing. The book is bound in exquisite Vlisco fabrics in bright patterns that are reminiscent of African markets and accompanied by a poem by Sam Berkson that layers voices from the market to draw on its disjointed and surreal atmosphere.

Galen Rowell
25th anniversary edition, with new foreword by David Muench
Publisher's Description
Mountain Light is the best-selling classic that captures the unique artistic vision of Galen Rowell, one of the world's most celebrated nature photographers. This remarkable collection offers 80 of Rowell's finest photographic images, as well as the stories behind them - what he was after and how he achieved it.
Rowell arranges the photographs, with details of their creation, in eight exhibits according to visual themes, reflecting his fascination with the infinitely varying qualities of light found in mountain landscapes. He recounts his development as a photographer, his philosophy and techniques for creating "dynamic landscapes," and his adventures in remote, dangerous, and beautiful places, from California's Yosemite Valley to almost inaccessible peaks in China.
Rowell also explains how film and the human eye see differently, how he selects and composes the content of his work, how to work with optical phenomena and natural light, and how equipment and adventure interact in the field.
"A splendid blend of autobiography, personal philosophy, and superb color photographs of high, wild places."

Tony Ray Jones
Publisher's Description
American Colour 1962–1965 is a carefully edited selection of previously unpublished Tony Ray-Jones colour photographs from the earliest period of his work. Taken from the extensive archives held at the National Media Museum in Bradford by Liz Jobey, this book brings together the early experiments that would inform his later work.
Ray-Jones arrived in America in 1961 on a scholarship to Yale to study graphic art and he returned to England four years later. It was in America that he learned to be a photographer. Among New York's street parades, on Fifth Avenue, in Times Square, Chinatown and Little Italy he learned to extract individual moments from a crowded backdrop and to find order in the chaos of the street. Based in New York, he made trips across the country – west to Detroit, south to Florida – all the time making colour pictures alongside the black and white images for which he would later became known.
Ray-Jones later referred to these early photographs as 'isolated sketches', and they were clearly a part of his formative experience. At the time colour was considered vulgar and not the medium of serious photography, but for Ray-Jones it expressed the excitement of America in a way that black and white could not.
'I found America a very colour-conscious country,' he said. 'Colour is very much part of their culture, and they use it in crazy ways. You look down Madison Avenue at lunchtime and the colours just vibrate.'

Heart Chambers and Heart ValvesThe heart has four chambers. The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers that propel the blood out of the heart (the right ventricle to the lungs, and the left ventricle to all other organs). The two atria (right and left) hold the blood returning to the heart, and at just the right moment empty into the right and left ventricles. The four heart valves (tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral and aortic) keep the blood moving in the right direction through the heart.
How The Heart Pumps BloodIt is helpful to visualize the heart as two separate pumps, working in series; the right heart pump, and the left heart pump.
The Right Heart PumpFigure 1: The right heart pump consists of the right atrium (RA), tricuspid valve (TV), right ventricle (RV), pulmonic valve (PV), and pulmonary artery (PA). Poorly oxygenated, "used" blood returning to the heart from the body's organs enters the right atrium, and is stored there until the right atrium contracts.
Figure 2: When the right atrium contracts, the tricuspid valve opens, allowing the blood to enter the right ventricle.
Figure 3: Then, when the right ventricle contracts, the pulmonic valve opens, and the blood is propelled into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries the blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen.

DEP owns McCrory
I have to disagree with your July 7 editorial observation in Four kings that Gov. Pat McCrory has been passive. That description is true, with one major and glaringly obvious distinction. This former career employee of Duke Energy Progress has been very active in clearing away any possible semblance of oversight or regulation for his former employer.
Perhaps the reason the governor has outsourced or delegated so much of his work is that hes been putting in a lot of overtime making sure that the safeguards and guardians of the publics interests have been dealt with.
And that includes the slow walking of the approval of the fracking process, too. He cant allow that to go full steam ahead before the taxpayers are on the hook for Dukes proposed natural gas refinery, can he? I mean thats worth billions of tax and ratepayer dollars. Heaven forbid that sustainable or alternative sources gain public support before that profit maker gets approved.
The governor isnt passive when it comes to serving his primary constituent Duke Energy Progress. Is it any wonder that we have splintered leadership? Its every man for himself. The well-being of our state or its people dont even enter into it.

July 31, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. counterterrorist officials warn that al-Qaida's leaders still dream of payback for the raid that killed Osama bin Laden a year ago.
The officials say U.S. strikes against have all but dismantled bin Laden's old team and left the terror network too busy surviving to carry out another Sept. 11-style attack. But they note that new branches are hitting Western targets and U.S. allies overseas.
The deadliest is in Yemen. White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan tells ABC's "This Week" that the al-Qaida's Yemen branch continues to target Americans in the Gulf nation and still aspires to attack the U.S.
Brennan says there's no sign of an active revenge plot against U.S. targets, but U.S. citizens in Pakistan and elsewhere are being warned to be vigilant ahead of the May 2 anniversary. U.S. helicopters swooped down in a nighttime raid on bin Laden's compound in the Pakistani army town of Abbottabad (AHBT'-uh-bad), killing him, one of his sons, two couriers and their wives.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — In sports championships, conferences have a friendly rival. But commissioners from the five largest conferences appear to be united in pushing for reforms from the NCAA.
They seem to be singing the same song. The latest, Larry Scott of the Pac-12 Conference, says change can happen without confrontation.
Mr. Scott said changes can be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. A Division 1 summit is expected later this year. He was joined in his reform calls by Mike Slive of the Southestern Conference, John Swofford of the Atlantic Cost Conference, Bob Bowlsby of the Big 12 and Jim Delany of the Big 10.
Two items at issue are so-called "buy" games, where universities from smaller conferences pocket thousands of dollars to play a road game against a higher-caliber team. Also, the move to more nine-game conference schedules will lead to fewer inter-conference games.
Any confrontation, if it happened, would be with university presidents who make up the voting board of the NCAA. If we had to guess, those presidents and their governing boards will prevail.

James Stewart Five for Five
James Stewart extended his early domination of the supercross season with his fifth consecutive win Saturday night in Anaheim.
As light rain fell on Angel Stadium, Stewart crossed the finish line nearly four seconds ahead of archrival Chad Reed to win the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series race in front of 43,812.
But Reed, the reigning series champion, continued to hold a three-point lead over Stewart in this year's title standings.
"The track got so slippery that you just had to be smart," Stewart said.
After Stewart and Reed lined up next to each other for the start of the 20-lap main event, Stewart hit the initial turn in first while Reed's No. 1 Suzuki lagged in sixth.
Reed quickly climbed through the field to reach second behind Stewart's No. 7 Yamaha, but Stewart never let him get closer.
"I put myself in a hole again" with the mediocre start, Reed said.
Supercross is the stadium version of motocross, or off-road motorcycle racing, and AMA officials use several hundred truckloads of dirt to transform Angel Stadium's infield into a hilly, curvy supercross track.
The track was covered during the recent storms but the three days of rain still made for soggy, treacherous conditions.
Three of the season's first six races are held at Angel Stadium. Josh Grant of Riverside won the first one Jan. 3 after Stewart and Reed collided early in the race, and Stewart won the second Jan. 17 as part of his win streak.
Stewart, 23, won the supercross championship in 2007 but the Haines City, Fla., rider missed most of last season with a knee injury.
Earlier Saturday the field was divided into two groups for two eight-lap preliminary heats and, in the first, Honda rider David Millsaps of Carlsbad held off Reed to win by nearly three seconds. Stewart cruised to a 14-second win over Grant in the second heat.
In the AMA's second-level series, Supercross Lites West, Kawasaki rider Jake Weimer of Rupert, Idaho, held off Ryan Morais of Murrieta to win the 15-lap main event for this third victory of the year. Weimer also won the season opener in Anaheim.
The series moves to San Diego for the next race Feb. 14.

Valentine Surprise
Fox Sports picked the perfect day, Valentine's Day, for their secret revelation. It was announced yesterday that joining the lovely Lauren as members of the Fox Sports Detroit Girls are Stephanie and Brittney. Lauren has been on her own representing Detroit's sports teams since Allison moved on to Hollywood the first of the year. I was actually surprised to see that two girls were chosen, but I guess some of the other sports regions have three girls as representation. Both are from the Detroit area and graduates of Michigan State University, both should do a great job as spokeswomen for our sports teams. The 'April in the D' promotion on the Fox Sports Detroit nework is just around the corner, too, and last season they brought in Megan for just that month. The kids and I are attending a Grand Rapids Griffins game next weekend that Lauren is scheduled to attend, so we're hoping that Stephanie and Brittney will be there, too. I find Steph particularly cute, personally…Happy Valentine's Day!

This is a great bread recipe, Donna. I've only made 12 loaves in 8 days. What does that tell ya? The seed combination adds a nice nutty flavor.I didn't take time to toast the seeds, but other than that, I did exactly as the recipe states. Didn't have to change a thing to get a beautiful loaf of very flavorful bread. As another reviewer commented, this is pretty enough to give as gifts. This recipe makes me look like a skilled baker, but its sooo easy my granddaughter can do it.All 12 loaves have come out perfect every time. I use the dough cycle, then shape the loaf, place it in a 9X5 bread pan, and bake at 375 degrees for exactly 32 minutes. WoW! GREAT BREAD!!

Oh yum. The other reviewers are right, this bread is very pretty. As always, I made a few changes. First, I used 3 T ground flaxseed and toasted it with the other seeds. There's really no point in using whole flax seeds as most of the nutrients can't be extracted through chewing and digesting alone. Using ground seeds will still give you that robust flax flavor and all of the wonderful omega-3s. You can buy ground flax seed or you can grind your own in a food processor/blender. I added 2 t of raw sunflower seeds to make up for the missing crunch from the flax seeds. Instead of honey, I used blackstrap molasses (this has an unbelievable amount of vitamins and nutrients and is rather tasty), which may have given the bread a stronger flavor than with honey, but it was still delicious. I put all ingredients in my bread machine and set it on the dough cycle. At the end of the cycle, I put the dough in a very lightly greased clear glass loaf pan and baked it at 375 for 30 minutes. The crust was crunchy and flavorful, while the interior was moist and lighter than you might think. I will definitely make this again.

For those not using a bread machine: While the seeds are toasting, blend the yeast into 1/4C of the water, (warmed), along with the honey, (warmed) and the salt. Wait for bubbles to form, and then add the remaining water and the oil. In another bowl mix the flour and the seeds, (I didn't wait for them to cool), and mix into the liquid to create a ball of dough. Cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place. The stovetop worked nicely, since the oven had been on. I left it for a half an hour and got a small loaf. I'm not sure whether it would have risen further had I waited longer, as I used regular white flour rather than bread flour, but under less hurried circumstances I'd have left it for an hour. From here I followed ItsJustaRide's baking directions. This was lovely toasted with butter for breakfast. My parents put jam on it and said it was very good, but I didn't think it needed any.

Professor Bogdan Chazan smiles as he speaks to the media among his supporters in front of a maternity hospital in Warsaw June 13, 2014. In April this year, a pregnant woman asked Chazan, director of Warsaw's Holy Family Hospital, for an abortion because her own physician had diagnosed her unborn child with grave health problems. Chazan sent the woman a letter saying he could not agree to an abortion in his hospital because of a "conflict of conscience," and instead gave the woman the address of a hospice where, he said, the child could get palliative care once born.

1. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?PVDSHOI Nov 13, 2011 3:01 PM (in response to abbs)
My take on this is simple: I consider it exploiting a flaw/fail in the game design. I give anyone I see doing this, a poor review, since I don't want to play with them again. It is not skill and it's not really an advantage per se but it IS annoying to see someone not taking the game seriously. The feature is indeed unrealistic and it ruins part of the gameplay for me. I consider using it to be just as bad as anyone who mods their clan tag or jumps into various glitches. It's unsportsmanlike in my opinion.
2. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?CaptainChad23 Nov 13, 2011 3:07 PM (in response to PVDSHOI)
I wish they would take it out. Its easier to do then in MW2. The funny thing is even BF3 u can quick scope in it xD
It seems the 2 biggest games have been desided by their developpers that quick scoping is needed. Seriously they need to take it out as it ruins gameplay.
I can be playing a game getting right into it, getting a good killstreak going and such dieing here and there then i turn a corner just for a guy to be running and without aiming fire hiw sniper from probly a good 10 feet and kill me. watching the killcam he doesnt even have to zoom in. Totally ruins the game for me.
3. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?pj600r Nov 13, 2011 3:14 PM (in response to PVDSHOI)
I left a game earlier as I didn't fancy the map much so I click on find game and it puts me straight back in that game, so I decide to spectate for a bit.
There was a "quickscoper" on my team so i decide to watch him in the 1 minute before I got kicked his score was 3-14 because he was crap at it.
If you want to quickscope fine but do it in FFA because then the score only affects 1 person then.
For every quickscoper who goes positive there are 10 that don't.
Skill or luck who knows.
4. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?Pittpens71 Nov 13, 2011 3:20 PM (in response to pj600r)
In my opinion it's a cheating glitch, they need the amount of time it takes to scope in, because for those that are legit snipers, it's not going to affect them
5. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?fwip Nov 13, 2011 3:22 PM (in response to abbs)
Oddly enough I havent run into very many quickscopers AT ALL, maybe a couple out of all my matches, and maybe only killed like ONCE by one, so even though its back, Im glad I havent run into the bunch of people that have re-adopted the technique. It is alot easier to q.s on this game I think, as I've tried it and was impressed how smooth it works, but q.s ing isnt my thing I jsut wanted to try it out. But with all the guns, and all the leveling you have to do to them, it seems everyone is using different weapons instead of a whole match full of quick scopers. Then again, I play mostly objective games where if there are any snipers msot of them are camping hardscopers. Soooo, maybe you've jsut had a bad run of q.s er teams, but I havent seen many of them...yet...
my 2 cents
6. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?NIX_007 Nov 13, 2011 3:24 PM (in response to abbs)
it's UNFAIR considering you can't hey 1 hit kills with shotguns, yet you can with a sniper, plain stupid, I think black ops sniping was more challenging and satisfactory, now everyone can run around with snipers QS
7. Re: Quick scoping, skill or unfair advantage?smokinace Nov 13, 2011 3:24 PM (in response to abbs)
In my opinion its an exploit plain and simple,the only reason IW puts it in there game is for maximum sales full stop I completely detest Treyarch games but at least they listen to their gamers,MW could be so so much better if IW would listen to us.

Multilink PPP: One Big Virtual WAN Pipe
Network management is a little like alchemy: take a dash or two of ISDN, add some frame relay, throw in a couple of routers, mix them all together, and somehow, some way, the result is bandwidth gold.
Of course, the formula for creating fully interoperable networks is much more complicated. Fortunately, network managers do have access to some tools that can make bandwidth magic a little easier to perform. Two of the most important elements in the technology bag of tricks are the point-to-point protocol (PPP) and its follow-up, the multilink point-to-point protocol (MLPPP).
PPP, a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is the de facto WAN link protocol for connecting clients and servers and for interconnecting routers to form enterprise networks. PPP's main advantage is that unlike other protocols which operate at the data link layer, PPP achieves interoperability between devices by negotiating different configuration options, including link quality, link authentication and network protocols.
Over the years, the IETF has made some significant changes to PPP. But as its name states, PPP is intended for simple point-to-point connections. Now that the enterprise network infrastructure is moving rapidly to digital switched services such as ISDN, frame relay and ATM, PPP is in need of even more changes.
Enter MLPPP, known in IETF circles as RFC (Request for Comment) 1717. MLPPP takes advantage of the ability of switched WAN services to open multiple virtual connections between devices to give users extra bandwidth as needed. With MLPPP, routers and other access devices can combine multiple PPP links connected to various WAN services into one logical data pipe.
The IETF formally approved the MLPPP specification last November. Makers of ISDN routers and access devices have already started using MLPPP to bundle 64Kbps ISDN B channels to deliver more bandwidth. MLPPP also allows network managers aggregate WAN circuits of different types without requiring major configuration changes to existing router Internet works.
Because MLPPP works over any switched WAN service, it has a wide range of potential uses (see "PPP Plus"). Network managers could deploy MLPPP-equipped devices to create a technology-independent enterprise framework in which the actual WAN services linking two devices would be invisible to end users. Under this model, WAN devices would negotiate bandwidth rules between two directly connected peers, using whatever type of service was available. New digital WAN services such as ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) could be added to the network mix as needed, without making the existing network infrastructure obsolete.
Although it is usually considered a single entity, PPP is actually a group of protocols that together provide an extensive set of network connectivity services. The PPP suite is based on four key design principles: negotiation of configuration options, multi-protocol support, protocol extendibility and WAN service independence.
Negotiation of configuration options: This refers to PPP's ability to establish throughput requirements between two directly connected end systems. In an enterprise network, end systems often differ in terms of buffer requirements, packet-size limits and network protocol-support lists. The physical link that interconnects any two end systems could vary from a low-speed analog line to a high-speed digital connection with varying degrees of line quality.
To cope with all these possibilities, PPP has a suite of standard default settings to handle all common configurations. To establish a link, two communicating devices attempt to use these default settings to find a common ground. Each end of the PPP link describes its capabilities and requirements; the settings are negotiated between the two sides for each option at the link level. These options include data encapsulation formats, packet sizes, link quality and authentication.
The protocol that negotiates all these options is known as the link control protocol (LCP). The protocol that negotiates the network protocols to be multiplexed over a PPP link is called the network control protocol (NCP); there can be many NCP data streams over a single PPP link. Although PPP's configuration negotiation options also allow end systems to set link peer authentication (a security function) and data compression options, PPP does not dictate the actual algorithms used for security or compression. For security, PPP defines PAP (password authentication protocol) and CHAP (challenge handshake authentication protocol) as common standard authentication methods that may be negotiated, but it also lets users add new authentication algorithms. The same holds true for compression.
Multi-protocol support: PPP's ability to handle multiple network-layer protocols was one of the chief reasons it became a de facto standard. Unlike the serial IP protocol (SLIP), the IETF routing protocol that handles only IP datagrams, PPP works with a range of packet formats including IP, Novell IPX, AppleTalk, DECnet, XNS, Banyan Vines and OSI. Each network-layer protocol is separately configured by the appropriate NCP.
Protocol extendibility: Over the years, the IETF extended PPP through a number of additional RFCs that define features like common data authentication services and encryption capabilities for security and compression algorithms. For example, with many WAN technologies, compression algorithms are chosen according to the quality of the link. Different technologies use different compression schemes, introducing multiple layers of compression and decompression into the network. Running PPP compression at the NCP level removes these considerations and uses fewer system resources.
WAN service independence: The initial version of PPP was built expressly to run over HDLC (high-level data link control) networks. Since then, the IETF has added RFCs that enable PPP to work with every major WAN service now in use including ISDN, frame relay, X.25, Sonet and synchronous/asynchronous HDLC framing.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

DURHAM — Editor's note: Based on information from the Durham County sheriff's office, the suspect's full name and age have been corrected from the original report.
Sheriffs investigators have named a suspect in a homicide last month at a home on Andrews Chapel Road.
Authorities are looking for Manuel Alejandro Lainez, 37, who faces a charge of first-degree murder. Lainez is accused of shooting Saul Botello Abrimz, 31, to death on Dec. 11.
Investigators previously had named Lainez as a person of interest in the case. They identified him as Alex Antonio Cruz Alvarado but now think that name is wrong.
Lainez has lived at several Durham addresses, including 1707 Avondale Drive; 826 E. Trinity Ave.; 5314 Hadrian Drive, and 4609 Tyne Drive, according to the Durham County Sheriffs Office. He may have fled to Conroe, Texas, or San Pedro, Honduras.
Patrol deputies found Abrimz dead of multiple gunshot wounds on the evening of Dec. 11, and investigators said at the time that it appeared to be a drug-related slaying.
Lainez also is wanted in connection with the theft of a white 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport with N.C. license plate BMP3978, and a red and black 2005 Honda CBR 100RR motorcycle with N.C. license plate 5M9083. Both vehicles were reported stolen from 212 Andrews Chapel Road on Dec. 11 and have not been located.
The Durham County Sheriffs Office asks anyone with information about Lainezs whereabouts to call Durham Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200 or the Sheriff's Crime Tip Line at 919-560-7151.

Joy … Beyond Freedom
Date: June 17, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Three simple truths: My life changes when I do. If I don't apply structure to my time, someone or something else will. The only things I have control over are my own personal choices.
These are the principles Sara Hand uses to guide both her own life and the clients she councils in her business, Joy … Beyond Freedom. Her clients are professionals who seek balance in their lives, and Hand empowers them by showing that they have choices.
"You always get to choose where you're at," Hand said.
Hand began to consider her priorities in 2006, following a family tragedy. She was working as vice president of sales and marketing for a disaster-recovery company at the time. In 2007, she chose to establish Joy … Beyond Freedom.
Hand considers her business and her consulting work as a journey — and one of her next steps on that journey is to expand her Internet presence.
