On Saturday night, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin held what an aide said would likely be the campaign's last campaign rally in St. Louis prior to Tuesday's general election.
At what his campaign described as a "Family Values Rally" at Westminster Christian Academy in Town and Country, Akin, currently the 2nd District U.S. Congressman from Wildwood, touched on familiar themes in his campaign against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO).
Citing McCaskill's record supporting President Obama'a healthcare reform and the federal stimulus bill, among other areas, the Wildwood Republican called McCaskill Obama's "strong right arm" in front of an audience geared toward religious conservatives.
Akin was introduced by former St. Charles County Executive Joe Ortwerth, who talked about serving with both McCaskill and Akin in the Missouri General Assembly in the 1980s. Ortweth pointed to what he called McCaskill's "liberal to ultra-liberal" voting record at that time and to a voting record as a U.S. Senator that was not that of a "middle of the road Missouri moderate."
The National Journal is shedding new light this weekend on Akin's record before he became a state representative, reporting that he was arrested a total of eight times as part of anti-abortion protests in Missouri and Illinois starting in 1985, before he was elected to the state legislature in 1988.
The campaign did not make Akin available to talk with reporters Saturday night, but senior adviser Rick Tyler called it "the world's most boring rap sheet," according to St. Louis Beacon reporter Jo Mannies. Tyler told Patch it was "a 25-year old charge."
Saturday's event also featured Christian recording artist Twila Paris and Grant Williams, the former St. Louis Ram, now the St. Louis Cardinals team chaplain. It was hosted by "Missouri Women Standing With Todd Akin," a group that came about in the days after Akin's controversial remarks about abortion and pregnancy.
At least one person in the audience felt the campaign should be going in another direction in the final days.
A woman named Margaret, who didn't want her last name used, sat eating the chili supper prior to the evening's festivities and described herself as a "radical", part of a group of Tea Party members who rally every Saturday morning at the corner of Highways K and N in St. Charles County.
"We don't want to preach to the choir," she said. "We should go where the Democrats are," she added, saying that she's been able to convince at least one Democrat to flip to the Akin column.
Tyler, the campaign strategist countered:
"During the campaign you go out and try to win over persuadables, those are people who could be swayed, who make up their minds and then in the end, in the last 10 days, you need to return to your base," he said.
McCaskill's final "Get out the vote" rally in St. Louis County will be Saturday at a Machinists union hall in Bridgeton.

Great Suit. The only problem I have is that I ordered 2 suits at the same time. I received an email stating that one suit was on back order until Oct. 28th. Today is November the 10th and I haven't heard anything else about the other suit.

The third span in less than two years connecting Indiana to Kentucky over the Ohio River is set to undergo repairs.
Traffic delays are again expected to affect commuters as the Clark Memorial Bridge is slated for construction starting Monday.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet awarded a contract last fall for improvements to the Clark Memorial Bridge, including painting and sidewalk repairs on the Indiana approach, according to a press release. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction 24 hours-a-day while crews paint the steel, replace handrails and sidewalks and repair bridge expansion joints on the Indiana approach.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Spokeswoman Andrea Clifford said in an email traffic will be limited to one side of the bridge for 30 days and then switch to the other side for 30 days.
The first section of work is scheduled to begin on Monday, Jan. 14, and the southbound lanes will be closed first. The lane closures will begin at 7:30 a.m. and there will be one lane of traffic in each direction utilizing the northbound lanes, she said.
Crews will not be working on the entire bridge deck, as that work was completed about 10 years ago, Clifford said in an email. All of the work is needed maintenance, she added.
"The maintenance, repairs and painting should last about 20 years [and] the bridge is inspected every two years," she said.
About 15,000 vehicles cross this bridge each day and during construction the speed limit in the work zone will be reduced to 25 mph for the duration of the project, according to the release. The project will be signed as a double fine work zone.
Hall Contracting of Louisville was awarded the contract for the project which totals $1.07 million. Construction is scheduled for completion by April 15.
Work on the local span across the Ohio River follows repairs and redecking of the Interstate 65 Kennedy Bridge that took place over the summer and repairs made to the I-64 Sherman Minton Bridge that began in 2011 when a crack was discovered in one of the joints on the bridge.
In August, lane closures shut down all three bridges as Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials and Indiana Department of Transportation officials conducted joint walk-through inspections.

Once part of an elite tribe of hunters in a remote area of Skylands, Trap Shadow used his cat-like cunning, ingenious traps and mystical stealth abilities to catch nearly everything that could be caught. As a result, his fame around Skylands grew so much that it attracted the attention of an evil cadre of wizards.

Outsmarted and outmaneuvered, each of the wizards was easily captured by Trap Shadow's bewildering array of traps and snares until they were all locked away for good. Having saved Master Eon, he quickly made Trap Shadow a Skylander.

Local columnist
— As I listened to the discussion on sequestration all week last week, my mind wandered back to the Draconian cuts of the 1980s. They were nothing compared to what happened last week.
The contemporary version of the poor house was born through the cuts of the Reagan era in 1983. Yes, we can look at one president in our lifetime who can claim responsibility. That will make a few angry, but it is nonetheless true.
Mental health centers were stripped, as were hospitals and people who were not equipped to be "outside" were set out with absolutely no community services to provide assistance or awareness for the communities that were so dramatically affected. Poverty was targeted, as were the people who lived in poverty.
"The Welfare Queen" was born, the "nonproducers" became a reality and compassion for the poor took a hiatus. It was not a good time to be working in human services. The crowds were long, people were desperate — they often fought over cheese in the food line. I know — I was in the back of the semi truck handing it out.
Those serving the poor were targeted as well. Community Action agencies were gutted, Head Start was cut back and all federal agencies were dramatically affected. It was a lot to live with; unemployment was at a high for those days.
Ironically, it was another Republican who restored some sense to the situation — President George H. Bush. We tried so hard to convince those we served to vote and to participate, and they did initially. Organizing was ripe and people were marching, voicing their opinions, talking to their legislators. They could then. And lots happened because they could.
Poverty and politics have been intricately involved from the beginning of this country. Property wasn't allowed to vote, hence the slave nor was the wife allowed to participate. Neither could the poor, as you had to be a property owner to vote in the day. So, decisions were made from a narrow perspective of our world.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a much larger picture. Although they were largely responsible for those decisions, the interpretations, amendments and posturing over the years has resulted in almost the same kind of electorate that voted during that time.
People don't vote without an interest and I am amazed at how many people don't see the interest. I used to tell residents that a lack of voting was far worse than voting for a candidate that was one maybe they didn't agree with. It was always a battle because folks felt totally disenfranchised from their government.
They would be denied services, lose their unemployment, die from a lack of medical care and never figure out that it was directly connected to who they did or did not vote for, and that was across the board. The poor we served weren't the only ones who felt that way; middle-income people, women, students ... it was amazing.
And it has only gotten worse. Our elected officials are now voted on by a minority of Americans because the vast majority just doesn't participate. How can anything change?
The politics aren't just national; it is regional, statewide, and very, very local. On a national level, we just witnessed the largest debacle we will ever witness in our lifetime and yet I'll bet most of us haven't called our legislators. Do you have a teacher in your family? How about a soldier? An air traffic controller or maybe a national parks employee? All will be affected by last week's decision.
On the state level, things didn't fare as badly if you were a business or male. If you were a female, you were legislated all over the place. That I know will bring a ton of response, but our government should be about the government; our bodies are our business.
Locally, politics have been almost as bad as on a federal level. The school board races were hotly contested and not without a lack of civility. The same thing happened in the Jeffersonville mayor's race; it was vicious, mean and not good for this community as lines were drawn, feelings hurt and with everybody wondering what was going to happen.
The folks at the shelter just shook their head and said, "We don't want to be part of that mess." A lot of people said that along with them. Since the election the divide has only worsened, both locally and nationally. It is not healthy for our country or our community.
The poor have always been easy prey. They are every politician's dream — not in my backyard, taxes, immigration and medical care divided everyone. The money spent on war wasn't discussed much. Neither was the true impact of the "fiscal cliff" or the sequestration.
Keeping us divided on issues that constitute barely 4 percent of the budget is much easier than making the tough decisions. Keeping people mad at each other or the poor keeps us from dealing with real issues like corporate welfare (large corporations, not small business), taxes uncollected from those who have more than they could spend in several lifetimes.
It has taken four decades for us to get to this point; it isn't going to be over tomorrow. Our children will know the words recession and depression, and we allowed that to happen.
It is our responsibility to hold those we elect responsible, it is also our responsibility to engage all Americans to vote and to participate, if this country is ever to be great again, it must first begin to care for its own. Charity begins at home.

LONDON — In some European capitals, they mutter about a Fourth Reich and compare the German chancellor to Adolf Hitler. The French complain about British obstructionism; Brits complain about everyone else. In Spain, a separatist movement is gaining traction.
But the Nobel committee chose to take the long view on Friday, awarding the 2012 Peace Prize to the European Union. The panel reasoned that even if economic divisions are tearing at the harmony Europeans have spent decades building, it no longer seems possible that they will start killing each other again.

About 23 hours after Stevie Johnson raised eyebrows with provocative comments about the Buffalo Bills' play calling, he revamped his words.
Johnson admitted reporters quoted him accurately after Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium, but claimed he used the wrong words in trying to give an opinion about the Bills' struggling offense.
Johnson said the Bills should turn over play-calling responsibilities to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, suggesting coach Chan Gailey relinquish the role since he is the one who has called the plays since he got here.
"I didn't mean changing the play-call duties and all that," Johnson said this afternoon at One Bills Drive. "I may have said it, but what I meant to say was 'audible,' to give Fitz the ability to audible a little more.
"What ended up coming out was me talking about play calling. But it was really about an audible."
Gailey said he hadn't spoken to Johnson about the remarks and didn't plan to. Wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell did meet with Johnson and then reported their conversation to the head coach.
"Stevie just wants to win," Gailey said. "You say a lot of things. He just wants to win. He's fine.
"You've got to understand it's the heat of the battle. If you don't know a guy, you might tend to get really upset. But if you know a guy, you know where his heart is even though he might not have said it right. I know Stevie."
Johnson was "a little distraught" over how Sunday's postgame comments were construed.
"He loves Chan," Fitzpatrick said. "You look at what Chan has done for him, he didn't really get on the field and play until Chan got here. After last season, Chan had a decision to make: Did he want to bring Stevie back or not? Nobody would've questioned it either way. And he wanted Stevie back and brought him back.
"Steve owes a lot to Chan, and I know he understands that."
What Johnson said:
"How I see it, I think we need to let our quarterback call these plays. He's out there on the field. He sees the adjustments that need to be done. I think we just need to let him make adjustments on the go. I think that's the way we can move the ball better.
"He did it a little bit in the game, and we moved the ball. ... He was hitting C.J. [Spiller], getting his run plays, doing the pass plays, and I just think we should do it more often.
"[Fitzpatrick] knows what to check into and check out of. It's different when you are looking from the booth and say, 'OK, they might be in this' than being out there. That's just my take on it. I just think that he has the ability to control the offense 100 percent. I think we should take advantage of that."
It was the second time in three weeks Johnson seemed to publicly criticize Gailey. Johnson also pointed out rookie receiver T.J. Graham never had practiced the particular play on Fitzpatrick's fateful interception against the New England Patriots.
"I'm not questioning my coach," Johnson said.
Johnson claimed the emotions of Sunday's defeat, in which he gained 100 yards for only the second time in 33 games and forced/recovered a potentially monumental fourth-quarter fumble on an interception, prevented him from choosing his words properly even though the word "audible" is ever-present in NFL parlance.
"It's all frustration," Johnson said. "We're all competitive out here. I wanted that win bad."
Fitzpatrick said he has "a ton of freedom" within the Bills' offense.
Johnson has been in a similar situation before, causing a national stir with an infamous tweet that seemed to blame God for making him drop a would-be touchdown pass in overtime against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010.

Amazing lens, incredible sharpness
Day light, olympus pen e-p5 75 mm 1.8 New to th micro 4/3, Coming from Pentax 645d, Nikon D4, D800 and skeptical of the smaller sensor size of the M4/3. I bought the olympus e-p5 with 5 primes for the size factor. the olympus 75mm 1.8 is simply amazing. Size, build quality are superb. Sharpness, bokhen and colors are unbelievable. of the 5 primes 12mm,17mm,45mm,75mm Olympus and 25 mm Leica, the 75 mm is my favourite of the group. 150 mm f 1.8 is a good portrait range with exceptional ...
Utterly amazing results, but takes some getting used to
I bought this lens after seeing a friend's amazing portraits taken with it, checking samples on Flickr, and reading the praise it has received in online reviews. I also wanted to get some great shots of my baby daughter while she was still an infant, and getting in too close distracts her too much - she stops doing whatever makes the image worth taking :) Also, I did some concert photography for a band and found myself having to get in too close because my brightest/fastest lens was not a zoom. ...
If you think you have a use for this lens...
Just buy it. I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said. The lens excels in everything you would want it to excel in. Razor sharp. very low in optical aberrations, coma, astigmatism, and distortion. Absolutely wonderful bokeh! If you can justify the cost based on your style of photography, get one.
If you shoot people, pair it with the 45
As one reviewer said just buy it. Another said "if you have a use for it". If you shoot people, landscapes night street scenes, indoor sports, theater and other performance art, you HAVE a use for this lens. To let some pictures do the talking first ... Some people samples .. Kids Littlies .. Some Low (sometimes extremely low) light samples Music - I couldn't even SEE some of these musicians esp the camera tech lady, I saw only a silhouette.

Questions & Answers
Olympus E-M10 and 75mm 1.8 power on click normal?
When I turn my Olympus E-M10 power on or off with the 75mm f1.8 lens attached, I hear a fairly loud clicking sound. It is much louder than the muffled sound I hear when turning the camera on or off with either the 14-42 or 14-150 lenses attached. A Google search for this issue turned up only one 2012 dpreview forum post, but the response to the question focused on the IBIS whirring sound. But, that is not the sound I am referring to. Since I can't find anybody discussing the power on/off clunking noise, it may be abnormal. I purchased the 75mm lens as a refurbished lens just a few days ago, so I am concerned that this noise may indicate a problem. In experimenting, I discovered that if I set the Reset Lens menu option to OFF, the sound no longer occurs when I power off, but still occurs when I power on. I would appreciate any insight the forum users have on this issue. Thanks.
Thank you both for your replies. What is the camera doing that makes that loud sound, do you know? I've only had the E-M10 for a couple weeks, and micro four thirds is all new to me. I'm coming from the Nikon DSLR world. So far, I really like the new system. Continue Reading
I believe this is normal. Continue Reading
Oly 25mm F1.8 / Oly 12-40?
Good afternoon all, Having got into Mft through a secondhand EP-3 to complement my wonderful E5, I fell in love with the primes. I have the Oly 45mm f1.8, a little marvel, and the 75mm F1.8, an amazing piece of kit, complete with the Pana 14 F2.5! I have now taken the plunge and just bought an E-M1 c/w 12-40mm. I am still learning, but this camera is already delighting me, and confusing me, and giving me plenty to learn! :-) My question: I am really taken with the idea of supplementing my primes with the Oly 25mm F1.8. For those who have both zoom and primes, do you find that you are not using the primes due to the quality of the 12-40? I appreciate the size/weatherseal/wider aperture differences, just wonder about usability? I hope that makes sense. Apologies in advance if this has already been asked. My ability to search this forum needs to improve. Regards Paul
Hmm yes... depends on the amount of people and the room of course. However, I don't like how 12mm starts to distort faces, specially of people close to the border of the image. Nothing dramatic, but I kinda dislike that... that's the main reason why I prefer the 17mm or 25mm for people group shots :) People look more natural. Continue Reading
Only because it has yet to me mentioned, because you now have the E-M1 you can shoot the fast primes in sunlight without ND filters, which extends their usefulness. Like some of the others, I have both the 12-40 and 25, and find there are times for each. The 25 is much fun to use and my eye does seem to like the "standard" focal length for general shooting. Seems quite sharp, too. This shot, while at f:2.8, could also have been taken at 1.8 w/o blowing the highlights. DOFs become quite shallow, putting an emphasis on focus accuracy. The 25 @ 1/8000, f:2.8. And they throw in the hood! Cheers, Rick Continue Reading
The 25 1.8 is a terrific lens, very sharp, lightweight and great for street shooting and any low light situation. It works well indoors when you don't want or need to use flash and it is a take everywhere lens. Continue Reading
Your thoughts and experience: Oly 75mm or Pana 35-100?
Hi everyone. I'm ready to purchase a new tele lens for my m4/3 set-up (GX1 and E-PM2, Pana 7-14, Pana 20, Pana 12-35, Oly 45). Thing is, I'm really torn between the Olympus 75mm f/1.8 prime and Panasonic's 35-100 f/2.8 zoom. My question relates to the real-life situations in which you have been using those lenses, and not to any sharpness/depth-of-field/image-stabilization issues - as you've noticed I have both Pana and Olympus bodies, I'm well aware of what kind of depth of field I get with m4/3, and for my usage most of the system's lenses at this level are plenty sharp and well-corrected for aberrations. Plus I've got Photoshop. I was thinking hard about getting the zoom, but then I researched a bit and realized that for about $400 less, if you figure the OEM lens hood in, the Olympus 75 does look like an appealing lens that would complement my set-up so that I could get roughly the same photography I'd get with the 35-100 zoom. *Roughly*. I already have 70mm equivalent covered ...
I own both. They are both phenomenal lenses, and the 75/1.8 might be the finest optic overall I've ever owned. However, if I could only keep one, it would be the 35-100 hands down. They are both very sharp lenses with great renderings, but the versatility of the 35-100 wins out for me. I bring my 75/1.8 in my bag when I know I'm going to be shooting portraits, or if I know I'm going to want telephoto with much shallower depth of field, but my 35-100 is in my bag EVERY day I bring my OM-D. Also, I use the 35-100 over the 75mm when in a studio setting, as I'm usually shooting at around f/5.6, and there the 75 is really no sharper, so I simply gain flexibility and lose nothing. It is very sharp at all focal lengths and all apertures, autofocus is extremely fast and accurate, and it's weathersealed. I've done reviews of both, if you're interested: 75mm: http://admiringlight.com/blog/review-olympus-m-zuiko-75mm-f1-8-ed-msc/ 35-100: http://admiringlight.com/blog/review-panasonic-lumix-g- ...

I have both and there is almost no similarity in use. The 75/1.8 is used when I know I'll need a bright mid tele, such as concerts, shows etc. Aslo I also like to shoot primes when I fancy the challenge of a single focal length to help develop my seeing eye (and trust me, it needs help). The 35-100/2.8 is a walkabout lens for when I expect to need a variety of focal lengths from shot to shot. I went to temple fund-raiser on Friday and took the 7-14/4, 20/1.7 and 35-100. The temple was dull, essentially still in the planning stages and nothing to photograph. So I took a walk around the surrounding bushland and kept the 35-100 on the whole time: Here's a few images from the walk, not as a recommendation for the lens, just an example of the varying FLs on the walk: 100mm 93mm 68mm 35mm 46mm 100mm 100mm For the last two, even the 100mm wasn't enough and the images are cropped. I like having both lenses. If you feel you may eventually want both lenses, my advice would be to go ... Continue Reading
A very intelligently planned lens collection! You got shallow DOF for portaits with your 45, so for additional range, the 35-100 would be the lens of choice. This talk about "loosing FLs" is rather obsolete. The difference in perspective between a 150, 170 and 200 mm is minimal and nothing you could not compensate with a few steps in the right direction, at least in situations where you need a tele lens. I think, reach is what may count: if 75 is not enough. get the 35-100. But even there you will soon find out, that what you can't get with 75 you can't get with 100 either. What might be another point with your cameras: with longer FLs you might be in need for IS, and there again the 35-100 might give you a small advantage (1-2 EV considering the smaller max aperture) with the Pana body.

Travess Smalley
Studio Visit
This week, POST NEW is visiting artists at their studios around the New York area. Today, we are welcomed into the psychedelic world of Travess Smalley, as he introduces us to his workspace in Jersey City, and to some of the work that he creates there.
POST NEW: Where is your studio based?
Travess Smalley: The top floor of a fabrication warehouse In Jersey City, NJ - right across the Hudson from the Financial District, Manhattan. It is in an empty warehouse area that is eerily polished and clean. Lots of late night BMW cruisers and smoke filled cars.
PN: What do you like about its location?
TS: I have a complete wood shop, lots of wall space, huge window for natural light, nice neighbors and a comercial woodshop downstairs that doesn't mind me mucking through their lumber scraps. I can make messes. The studio isn't far from my place either. The walk is about the length of a phone call to a family member.
PN: Are you influenced by any particular art movements?
TS: Of course, there are so many influences - I could ramble for hours...: Abstract animation from the likes of Stan Vanderbeek, James and John Whitney, and Jordan Belson. Constantin Brancusi's photographs and films of his studio and sculpture. Commercial surf wear (specifically old Ocean Pacific, Body Glove, and Trapper Keeper styles). The graphic design and imagery of rave posters and flyers. Abstract Expressionism. The energy and form of Futurism. Kenneth Anger. Richard Tuttle. Adobe Systems. Online video tutorials. Yuichi Yokoyama's drawings and manga/comic/panels. Enzo Mari. Franz West. Rachel Harrison. Aaron Curry. screensavers. Sterling Ruby. Michael Bell Smith. Travis Hallenbeck. Yohji Yamamoto. The Memphis Group but most specifically Nathalie du Pasquier's textiles and her paintings. John Carpenter's filmography from 'The Fog' to 'In The Mouth of Madness'. Eric Rohmer and Louis Malle. Hans-Joachim Roedelius's prolific and beautiful discography. Brian Eno. El Cometa De Madrid. Stuart Davis. Luigi Ghiri's photography. The Durutti Column. Fact Magazine mixes. The later year works of Pablo Picasso and Matisse. Vincent Facteau's paper mache sculptures. Bruno Munari as a designer, educator, and maker of books. The sci-fi classics - Ursula K. LeGuin, Philip K. Dick, Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, Frank Herbert, and William Gibson. And most continuously my lover Kaela.
PN: What's that you're working on?
TS: I am balancing a few different projects right now. - I just finished a series of abstract computer graphics for my digital solo exhibition on www.bubblebyte.org - I have been working on 'Compositions in Clay', a series of prints made by packing clay on top of scanner beds. The large photographic prints are made by applying various clays to digital scanner bed and then scanning at the scanner's highest possible resolution. (Take a look here). I've been making plaster vases in my studio. The vase forms have gotten further and further away from the traditional idea of a vase to the ones I'm making now that are practically not functional at all haha. The form, texture and color of the sculptures have become more important than its functionality. I've been painting fake flowers and photographing them too. I'm working with a professional printer on a series of 8 ft x 10 ft stretched vinyl prints from my series Acid Graphic that explores the imagery, signage, and abstraction of past psychedelic/cyberdelic cultures.
PN: Do you have a favorite medium?
TS: It's a hard question to answer. Honestly, no. My practice is based on a continual experimentation, figuring out which medium best represents the idea or process or form or color or texture or whatever. Lately I have been really in to malleable materials I can shape with my hands like plaster, clay, plastalina, and kids' craft clay. These materials are expressive and cary so many unpredictable potentials when combined with colored dyes and paints. I had this Laser Printer that my friend and artist Milano Chow gave me. But it died :( Been using an inkjet, just isn't the same...
PN: Do you have any exhibitions lined up?
TS: Yeah, the next few months are going to be fantastic. - Up now you can see some of my Compositions in Clay at Foxy Production in Chelsea. July 19th Ethan Fielding Cook organized 'Slowed & Throwed' at Chinatown Arcarde (48 Bowery). It is a show about abstraction that I am contributing a vase and an Acid Graphic to. - There's my y collaboration with JF & Son on their first summer menswear line. 'Everything Was Michael Bolton and Nothing Hurt' at Preteen Gallery in Mexico City opened July 28th. A two person exhibition with the amazing Laura Aldridge at SWG3 in Glasgow this fall. There will be a 2nd edition of my book 'Capture Physical Presence' released for the New York Art Book Fair this fall. And hopefully I will find a places to show my Clay Compositions and a show of Acid Graphic vinyls.
PN: When you're not in your studio, where can we find you?
TS: If I am not at my studio usually I am at home working on the digital side of my art practice. I spend a lot of time in creative software, scanning, printing, recording video, making websites. If I am not at home and I am in the city you would most likely find me upstairs at The Strand Bookstore. And more recently at Mission Chinese in the Lower East Side - every time I go I order something new and it is always fantastic.
PN: Best thing about New York?
TS: The Strand Bookstore. I can spend hours in their art monographs, photography, and design sections. The Metropolitan Museum of Art: New York City's unparalleled wanderkamer of the world's treasure - the new Islamic Art wing is definitely worth the trip for those who haven't visited in the past year. Film Forum, MoMA, Anthology Film Archive, and IFC's repertory film programs let me see films the way they were meant to be seen. But all of these things are just elements/pieces of New York's art scene which is really the best thing about New York for me. I have so many friends that live here who are part of the art world either for business or pleasure. And those who don't live here are usually visiting at least once every other year ;) That being said I've been looking for a little break from New York, I've been considering the west coast...

Airport Authority Votes for Reduced Commercial Development Envelope for B-6 Property
The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority voted earlier this month to submit a Development Application Package to the City of Burbank for a replacement 14-gate terminal and development of the B-6 "Opportunity Site" adjacent to the proposed terminal that would limit the amount of proposed mixed-use commercial and industrial development in the project to 2.35 million square feet. The original proposed concept, based on a 15-year development period, would have considered development up to 3 million square feet.
Submission of the application package was required for the City to issue a Notice of Preparation for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
"Our goal is to ensure that the proposed replacement terminal and the adjacent Opportunity Site commercial development will achieve the best possible balance of new businesses and jobs for Burbank without overwhelming the local infrastructure. We heard—and responded to—public comments that the proposed development concept was too large, and addressed that issue," said Authority President Susan Georgino. "The lower density of development reflects a more desirable and practical shorter 10-year time period over which to plan the site build-out," she added.
As approved for submission, the Authority's Development Application Package adheres to the list of characteristics for the project approved by the Authority and the Burbank City Council during a joint session on November 14, with the exception of the reduced maximum development on the 58-acre Opportunity Site.
The replacement terminal would have 14 aircraft gates, the same number of gates as the current terminal. The number of airport parking spaces would also remain unchanged, at 6,631. The replacement terminal would encompass approximately 355,102 square feet, an increase of 144,503 square feet over the current terminal building, to provide for additional user amenities, more spacious hallways and gate areas, and enhanced security facilities.
Other characteristics of the aviation-related portion of the project include demolition of the existing 83-year-old passenger terminal, extension of airfield taxiways, and relocation of fire suppression operations.
Potential commercial uses on the Opportunity Site could include several types of office space, flex/industrial, retail and hotel. This reduced development concept would provide for more flex/industrial space but reduced Class A office space. The development of the Opportunity Site would take advantage of its close proximity to the Antelope Valley Metrolink line and the proposed replacement terminal. It is anticipated that following the City's issuance of the Notice of Preparation, a public scoping meeting will be held, after which the final project description for study in the EIR will be determined. The City's timeline for the EIR calls for its completion in early 2015.
For current information on the plans and progress of the proposed replacement terminal and the adjacent Opportunity Site, visit the City-Airport Visioning Process page on the Airport website.
Burbank Named Cheapest City for Travel-Related Taxes
A December 10 article in USA Today named Burbank as the city with the lowest combined travel-related discriminatory taxes on lodging, rental cars, and meals. The Global Business Travel Association found that Burbank's taxes come out to $1.58 per day, in comparison to $3.16 in Orange County, $4.48 in Ontario, and $7.37 in Los Angeles.
Discriminatory travel taxes are those imposed specifically on travel services above and beyond general sales taxes. These include taxes on rental cars, hotels, restaurants, and airlines. Low travel taxes and proximity to many popular destinations—including major studios, downtown Los Angeles, and Hollywood—make Bob Hope Airport and the city of Burbank the best travel options for financially-conscious business passenger.
Airport Welcomes Fans to Rose Bowl Stadium
As the Official Airport of the Rose Bowl Stadium, Burbank Bob Hope Airport is preparing for the two major college football bowl games that will take place in early January. The Michigan State Spartans and the Stanford Cardinal will face off in the 100th Rose Bowl Game on January 1, while the Auburn Tigers will play the Florida State Seminoles in the BCS Championship Game on January 6.
A "topping-off" ceremony took place at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC) on November 26, when the final major beam was added to the structure. Airport Commissioners and Staff were present for the ceremony, during which members of the Build RITC team signed the beam and watched it being lowered into place. Construction on the RITC began in 2012, and it is slated to open this summer.
Congratulations to Jason S., the randomly selected winner of our "Win a Trip to the Rose Bowl Stadium" sweepstakes!

Who dosen't make a leftover turkey sandwich at least once? Even better with regular bread, minus the mayo, and using an extra slice in the middle soaked in gravy on both sides? (The Moistmaker!) NOTE: This holds up better when you toast the bread.
We just LOVE these sandwiches, infact packed ours to carry home from our childrens home yesterday. It was great not to cook when we got home. Just warmed some squash soup that my daughter prepared...and wala dinner! What I typically do is combine equal parts of whole cranberry sauce and mayonaise (or to taste) and keep it in the fridge for most of our coldcut sandwich~YUMMY!! Hope you had a YUMMY Thanksgivingm with many things to be thankful for...we did...life, good health and certainly our family! (our pets too!)
We already do this with our turkey the next day after thanksgiving. The recipe does not call for mashed potatoes but the picture had it so we add some. Next time will just stick to our usual of turkey, gravy, stuffing and maybe add cranberry sauce. Just microwaved everything to save on energy.

Rabbit Hunting Season
2013-2014 Rabbit Hunting Season:
October 12, 2013 to February 28, 2014.
Daily Bag Limit:
- 8 rabbits (regardless of species).
2013-2014 Season Outlook:
Rabbit populations are difficult to predict, but are generally good in areas with suitable habitat. It was believed that rabbit numbers were up during 2012, but summer weather and vegetation conditions may ultimately determine fall rabbit population abundance. Areas with an ample mixture of native grasses, legumes and other broadleaf plants, and low brushy cover typically produce the greatest numbers of rabbits. Given the long reproductive season and high reproductive potential of rabbits, populations can increase rapidly provided habitat is suitable. Rabbit populations are expected to be mostly abundant in areas of suitable habitat unless severe, long-term droughts are experienced during the summer.

Jurors in the Richard Forsberg murder trial heard evidence Tuesday that showed just how little of Marcia Forsberg remained following her alleged murder in 2010.
Ebrahim Baytieh, the senior deputy district attorney, ended the state's case against Forsberg in the afternoon, and defense attorney Calvin Schneider III didn't call any witnesses to Judge William Froeberg's courtroom at Orange County Superior Court.
Both sides are expected to give closing arguments on Wednesday.
The prosecution alleges that on Feb. 9, 2010, Forsberg struck his wife of 39 years in the head several times with a nightstand figurine after she turned away from him while she lay in bed and he stood at her side. Forsberg confessed to the crime and said he dismembered his wife, stashed body parts in a freezer and burned the remains at Lake Piru in Ventura County.

- Follow RSM Patch on Facebook and Twitter.
The Rancho Santa Margarita man's plan was uncovered only after friends filed a missing persons report in August, 2010, after listening to Forsberg tell them for months Marcia had gone to Arizona to work through some marital discord. Her lack of contact with them for such a long time was unusual.
The final piece of evidence for the prosecution was a stipulation—an agreement by both sides—that Feb. 9, 2010, was the 42nd anniversary of "Rick" and Marcia Ann's first date, and throughout their marriage they had celebrated the anniversary.
Marcia was 60 at the time of her death.
The defense presented two stipulations that eliminated the need for witnesses on its behalf, that Forsberg entered Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs on Aug. 27, 2010, with extreme lethargy from a suicide attempt via drug overdose, and that upon his discharge on Aug. 30 that his condition had improved.
Jurors finished watching a video of Forsberg's confession to investigator Steve Swiderski after he was taken into custody by Orange County Sheriff's Department. When court ended Monday, the seven men and five women were about to see Forsberg call his parents and tell them what happened. Tuesday morning, they saw that conversation. His parents had received a letter from Forsberg that he sent prior to his suicide attempt in which he explained what he had done and that he was about to take his life.
"I'm just going to take my lumps and go through with whatever comes up," he told his father, later adding, "I'm not going to try to play legal games here."

- Day 1: 'What He Left Of Her Was ... Nothing!'
- Day 1:
- Day 2: 'What Do You Do With A Dead Body?'
- Day 3: 'Everything Else Was Incidental'
He said he felt numb from what he had done, and was still groggy and woozy "but spent a couple hours with detectives and outlined everything that transpired."
"I have absolutely no idea why, like a light switched off in my head from light to dark, and then two minutes later—'What have I done?' " he explained into the phone. "And I started a long series of lies to hide what I had done.
Afterward, he told Swiderski, "That went better than I thought."
He also called the chancellor at Coast Community College where Forsberg was an administrator, his job title application development manager. Forsberg left a message: "This is Rick Forsberg. I'm at Orange County Jail. I've been arrested and probably will not be back at work for a long time, if at all. Please pass this on to Human Resources. ..."
On the stand during the trial's fourth day were Michael Thompson, who coordinated parts of the OCSD's investigation and assisted in the questioning of Forsberg during his confession; and Jeanne Putinier, a forensic scientist with the county crime lab who collected and analyzed DNA samples in the case.
Traces of DNA found inside one of the freezers Forsberg said he used to store his wife's body was a mixture of three people with the major contributor being female, Putinier said. The freezer had been donated to charity within days of being purchased, and had been used by a men's group home to store meat.
There was no primary DNA sample obtained for Marcia Forsberg, only a secondary source such as that left from what is believed to be her black hat found in a closet in the Forsberg residence on Cascada. If the DNA from the hat is hers, then part of a DNA swab taken from the seams of the freezer lining represent a 1 in 200,000,000 chance that it belonged to someone other than Marcia.
The defense elicited that there was no hemoglobin found in the Forsberg's home or garage—apart from a drop of Richard Forsberg's blood on a golf shoe—and there are many cleaning agents that could have produced various false positives in testing. There were a couple of places inside the master bedroom and bath that appeared to be have the presence of blood under forensic examination of the premises but there was either no hemoglobin present or the sample was insufficient under laboratory examination.
Forsberg provided details about the Lake Piru campsites he used to burn the remains that were substantiated with campground records. Thompson revealed that despite digging 12 inches deep into the fire pits and sifting the ash, there were no bone or dental remains discovered for Marcia Forsberg.
Thompson also said that the wedding ring that Forsberg hurled into the lake from the end of the dock could not be recovered because the area had been dredged between the cremation of the body Feb. 19-21, 2010 and the investigation six months later.

Niagara Gazette — Lewiston-Porter Superintendent Christopher Roser was dreading the moment he had to reveal preliminary plans for cuts financial restrictions could force his administration to make heading into 2013-14.
What's even more difficult to take, for taxpayers and employees alike, is the 10 teachers positions he's proposed won't close the substantial gap the district faces. There's still more to come.
"There's going to be larger class sizes next year," Roser said after a brief presentation during Tuesday's school board meeting. "I would like to say we're done, but we're not."
Last week, Roser revealed the district is facing a $3.3 million gap between what money it will receive and what the current year's spending plan would look like with no cuts to staffing and step increases factored in.
Aiding the district would be eight retirements which wouldn't be filled with new staff, including the assistant superintendent for business services, Don Rappold's position through June 30. Roser's cuts also include eliminating modified sports, which would save the district $44,600 next year and transportation cuts for $81,000 in savings.
But it's the teaching positions which will hurt the district the most, with one person cut from each from English, mathematics, science, spanish, business and technology. Two elementary teachers and a librarian would also see their jobs eliminated. The cuts would save the district $701,000.
After all of those, Roser said, the district would still need to find a way to come up with more than $500,000 extra to close the hole, a grim reality all of the district's employees must deal with.
"It's a different process this year," Roser said. "It's going to be a lot of soul searching to get this figured out. It's going to require a lot of math and tough decisions."

The Bluetooth profile defines a possible set of Bluetooth operations - for example, the Basic Imaging Profile (BIP) defines how an imaging device can send an image to a remote device, or how an imaging device can print an image. There are about 22 Bluetooth profiles, many of which are overlapping and closely related.
A Bluetooth-enabled device can be connected to a remote device by using any of the connectable profiles. There is no way to determine which profile is in use.
No solution. Currently Symbian C++ does not provide any APIs which can be used to find out which profile is being used while the device is connected.

New Zazzler Lizabeth, from the Zazzle store LizaPhoenix, talks with us about her style and what she's looking forward to on Zazzle. Check out the interview below and don't forget to check out her store LizaPhoenix!
Zazzle: Give us a brief bio, where you're from and when you started making art.
Lizabeth: My name is Liza Phoenix, I'm from Seattle, Washington and I've worked as a professional craftsperson/designer for many years. I've done hand painted t-shirts, hand carved sculpture, beads, art prints, and posters.
Zazzle: What is your inspiration for your designs?
Lizabeth: Love, happiness, sweets, treats, magic, and rainbows.
Zazzle: When you're not creating art, what are your other hobbies?
Lizabeth: I compile images and information about legendary creatures and fabulous beasts, and I maintain a subject guide to art history.
Zazzle: What's your favorite style to create?
Lizabeth: Kawaii! A style that originated in Japan around the 1970s and emphasizes the cuteness of objects to the extreme and then a little bit beyond that.
Zazzle: How many hours do you typically spend working on your Zazzle store?
Lizabeth: In my mind I work all day and all night on my Zazzle store and my other websites and projects, but in reality it's probably only about 8 hours a day.
Zazzle: What has been your favorite design you've created, and why?
Lizabeth: My favorites are usually my latest, but maybe some of my all-time favorites are "Pink Albino Narwhal" and "Super Rainbow Space Cake". Why? Cute! (I hope!)
Zazzle: If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see play you?
Lizabeth: Ha ha, Cameron Diaz, but she would need to gain 20 pounds and wear a wig.
Zazzle: Being a newer seller on Zazzle, what are you looking forward to the most?
Lizabeth: Making more money! Also, I have one million ideas that I'm anxious to get out of my mind and onto Zazzle products.
Zazzle: What got you interested in selling your art on Zazzle?
Lizabeth: I was with another POD company and the members there spoke so highly of Zazzle that I decided to give it a try.
Zazzle: What tips can you give someone who is just starting out on Zazzle?
Lizabeth: Put forth a great effort over a long period of time with a confident expectation of success. (Get back to me in a year or two and I'll let you know if this actually works.)
Thanks Lizabeth!

Maintenance Projects:
Menlo Park to Sunnyvale Sunday, Sept. 30, through Tuesday, Oct. 2, crews will operate medium duty on-track machinery to grind and align tracks between the Menlo Park and Sunnyvale stations. Sunday, Sept.30, crews will operate medium duty on-track machinery to remove and replace rail ties between the Menlo Park and Sunnyvale stations.
San Francisco to South San Francisco Thursday, Oct. 4 and Friday, Oct. 5, crews will operate a test train between the San Francisco and South San Francisco stations.
San Francisco Monday, Oct. 1, through Thursday, Oct. 4, crews will weld and grind tracks at the San Francisco station rail yard.
Palo Alto to Sunnyvale Wednesday, Oct. 3 and Thursday, Oct. 4, crews will operate medium duty on-track machinery to remove and replace rail ties between the California Avenue and Lawrence stations.
San Mateo to Belmont Monday, Oct. 1, through Wednesday, Oct. 3, crews will operate medium duty on-track machinery to remove and replace rail ties between the San Mateo and Belmont stations.
San Francisco to San Jose Saturday, Sept. 29, through Friday, Oct. 5, crews will power wash and perform janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the San Francisco and Tamien stations.
Construction Project:
San Bruno Grade Separation Project Day work, which includes digging with a backhoe and mini-excavator, will be done from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crews will install utility infrastructure, place concrete panels using a crane, excavate, grade, and pour concrete. Crews will use medium and heavy duty diesel vehicles to transport dirt and concrete.
Night work will occur from Sunday, Sept. 30, through Friday, Oct. 5, between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Crews will use a crane to place concrete panels. Lanes on San Mateo near San Bruno Avenue may be temporarily closed as needed. Traffic cones and flaggers will direct motorists and pedestrians around the affected areas.
The $147 million project will elevate the Caltrain tracks above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues. A new elevated Caltrain station between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues will replace the station at Sylvan Avenue.

By TEDDYE SNELL
Staff Writer
Tahlequah High School sophomore Brooke Hunter is no stranger to fame in the art world, and she recently added another feather to her cap.
Hunter's colored pencil pieces – "The Artist" and "Skate" – have been selected as first- and fourth-place winners, respectively, in the Congressional Art Competition. "The Artist" will now hang in the U.S. Capitol Complex for a year.
Hunter was honored during a ceremony Tuesday at Northeastern State University-Muskogee.
"It is amazing to be chosen," said Hunter. "It's really nice to be recognized for my work; it's really encouraging."
Hunter's two entries were among 217 entered in the contest. According to Shivani Chase, one of Hunter's art teachers at THS, 18 schools were represented, with the furthest north being from Miami, Wyandotte, Quapaw and Welch.
"The judges commented that this was not only the 2nd District's largest competition, but the strongest, too," said Chase.
While her pencil drawings have won a number of awards, Hunter doesn't put limits on her creativity.
"I like using all mediums," said Hunter. "I've always liked to draw, but I began competing in the sixth grade, and that started everything."
Hunter took Best of Show at the Cherokee County Student Art Show in 2009, and competed with high school seniors for the award. She entered "The Artist" in the 2012 Cherokee County Student Art Show, and placed second in her division.
"I enjoy taking art classes with both [Shivani] Chase and [Tony] Amason," said Hunter. "Mrs. Chase is the one who showed me the entry form for the Congressional Art Competition."
Hunter's work was also selected among the top 10 for publication in "Celebrating Art," a national anthology of high school students' artwork, in 2012, when she was a freshman.
"The contact I have [with 'Celebrating Art.com'] said only 25 percent of over 3,000 submissions were selected for publication," said Amason. "And now, Brooke's work will hang in the Capitol. It's very exciting."
Hunter has yet to decide on a solid career path, but believes her art will play a strong part in her decision. She is the daughter of Sylvia and Lance Hunter of Tahlequah.
"Art is definitely something I'd like to continue with in the future, though," she said. "And it's so important to compete. That's what I would tell aspiring artists, 'Keep trying and enter competitions. What's the worst that can happen? You'll still get recognition.'"
Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage young artists in each congressional district. According to www.house.gov, since the competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.

- Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with vegetable cooking spray.
- Stir the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese until the ingredients are mixed. Stir in the artichokes, red pepper and parsley. Season to taste.
- Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the sheet into a 12-inch square. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the edges of the pastry with water. Fold over the edges 1/2 inch on all sides, pressing firmly with a fork to form a rim. Prick the pastry thoroughly with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
- Divide the cheese mixture between the pastry crusts and spread to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Sprinkle each with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm.

My taste testers loved this one. I rated it a four because reading the recipe, it sure seemd like there was way too much cheese to hold up to the deleicate puff pastry crust, so I made a few modifications which I hate when people do and then rate a recipe, but I really thought it necessary. I used only about 1/2 to 2/3 of the cheese amounts called for. I had beautiful artichoke hearst so I did not mix them into the cheese mixture, I arranged them on top. I also cut the pastry sheets in half lengthwise to make longer tarts. I was worried that a more square shape would have caused the puff pastry to get mushy in the middle. Doing the rectangular shapes worked better, I think. I also used freshly roasted sweet red peppers instead of the jarred ones. This was really a nice appetizer that my testers enjoyed very much. I will be making this again. It might be good with just a little sprinkling of crab meat too.
I did these a little different because I did triangles and they were wonderful!!!
Made this new year's eve and it was excellent. I did have to bake it significantly longer than the recipe called for... about 10+ minutes extra to make sure it was golden brown with crispy crust. This will be one of my stand by appetizer recipes from now on.

Case, who begins his second year at Candler this fall, is a native of Tuscaloosa, AL, but he spent the six years prior to attending Candler living in Geneva, Switzerland, where he did community development work.
The competition, which was sponsored by Candler, the Emory Global Health Institute, and the Emory University Graduate Senate, brought together students from across the Emory University campus to address a global health challenge from a multidisciplinary perspective. The case was presented to teams a few days before the presentation session, which allowed them to quickly conduct their research, formulate their plans, and prepare their case presentations.
Eight teams of students from all schools at the university evaluated methods of alleviating severe malnutrition in children in a specific region of Ethiopia. Students presented numerous strategies that included the use of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), microfinancing for local farmers, mobile nutrition education and prevention interventions, faith-based interventions, and the use of the versatile Moringa Tree as traditional food and RUTF crops.
Case's team presented a multidimensional strategy consisting of a mobile intervention that provided education on sanitation and safe water and the establishment of partnerships with a local manufacturer of RUTF and other in-country organizations. The team received a $1500 prize for its winning presentation.
One unique aspect of Case's team's strategy was to use part of their budget to offer incentives to families that built and maintained latrines. The incentives included goats and chickens, and Case said the judges viewed this aspect of their strategy very favorably because it had the ability to positively affect the nutritional status of the families for the long term.
Judges included Dr. Michael ME Johns, Chancellor of Emory University; Dr. Noel Erskine, Associate Professor at Candler; Dr. Christopher Howard, an Epidemiologic Intelligence Service Officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Tarun Gulrajani, a senior associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP.
Teams were required to have members from three or more Emory schools. The team on which Case worked also included a student from Emory's Goizueta Business School, two from the Rollins School of Public Health and one Emory undergraduate. Case said the team offered an excellent mix of international knowledge and experience. The group included natives of Haiti and Puerto Rico, a former Peace Corps volunteer who had worked in Africa, and a member who had recently worked in Sudan.
All, Case noted, had different specialties, gifts, skills, and ways of thinking, a common situation in international public health. "That's what happens on the ground all the time in these international settings," he said.
Case said he was pleased that Candler had a presence in the competition, noting that Candler student Gretchen Van Ess helped organize the event and that student Alison Amyx also participated on one of the teams.
"It's vitally important for the School of Theology to remain engaged in matters of public health and international development," Case noted. "There are religious communities everywhere that can be mobilized to work for the good of others."

NORMAN — Public health officials are gearing up for another flu season. A vaccination this past year won't cover you this year. This year's formula include two strains different from last year's flu vaccine as well as the H1N1 pandemic strain.
The Cleveland County health department says it will offer flu vaccines every Friday beginning Oct. 5 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shot is recommended for everyone six months of age and older. Persons at high risk of flu complications are strongly encouraged to get the vaccine.
A mild flu season tends to make us complacent about getting annual shots. "Flu can be a dangerous disease for people of all ages, even healthy children and adults," said Shari Kinney, administrative director of the Cleveland County Health Department.
For those who don't qualify for free shots, the cost is $25 to cover the vaccine and administering the shot. They take checks, credit cards and cash.
