Heroes can wear sunglasses as well but risk falling prey to baditude syndrome.Beyond the cool factor, sunglasses are also the most essential part of an impenetrable disguise. It's a well know fact that the right pair of sunglasses can make you completely unrecognizable even to people who have known you for years. Case in point- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiyQ4PvCwsc

One hundred and twenty-five years ago today, 66 students gathered in the Winter Park Congregational Church for the first day of classes at Rollins College. Within a few days they would move to the loft above Ergood's store which had been converted into a temporary classroom. Five months later, the first two campus buildings would be complete. On that first day, the library comprised a copy of the Bible and a dictionary. Scientific equipment consisted of a thermometer and a ruler, which also served the mathematics department. The faculty numbered six, for a student:faculty ratio of 11 to 1.
Today, more than 3,000 students attend Rollins' three divisions. Nearly 80 buildings, totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet of space, serve our campus community. The Olin Library houses more than 300,000 volumes. Recent additions to our science laboratories include a horizontal electrophoresis system, a DNA synthesizer, and a high-speed electronic speckle pattern interferometer. Our student:faculty ratio is 10 to 1.
2010 also marks the anniversary of several other notable events in Rollins' history—occasions worthy of celebration even if they were not part of this milestone year. In 1960, the Institute of General Studies, which would become the Hamilton Holt School, was inaugurated. In 1985, the new intellectual center of the campus, the Olin Library, was dedicated. That same year, Rollins and our MBA program were awarded accreditation, placing our Crummer School in an elite group of graduate business schools.
Although Rollins' mission has evolved from the 19th century to the 21st to incorporate education for global citizenship as well as responsible leadership, we remain committed to the vision articulated by the College's founders: "to promote the general interests of education; to qualify … students to engage in the learned professions or other employments of society; and to discharge honorably and usefully the various duties of life." On this Founders' Day, we are honored to welcome some of those students, our alumni, back to campus to talk with us about Rollins and their lives. Their accomplishments are the true measure of Rollins' success and the founders' legacy.
As we celebrate 125 years of achievement, we recognize that the College we know today is the sum of innumerable individual contributions. We salute the trustees, faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents, neighbors, and friends who have transported us to this morning. Generous and loyal benefactors have stepped forward throughout Rollins' history—from providing for the College's founding to rescuing it from financial peril, to assuring its health for future generations. Since 1885, the citizens of Winter Park have been our partners in creating and sustaining a dynamic synergy between our communities, and it is our pleasure to welcome you into our academic home.
We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and we strive to leave for those who follow us a college that is stronger, brighter, and greater. On this 125th Anniversary, we celebrate Rollins' history and reaffirm our shared commitment to fulfilling the promise of its luminous future.
Fiat Lux!

9 Brutal Torture Techniques That Were Practiced Until Recently
The UN Convention Against Torture has defined torture as: "…any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed… [ continued].
Torture is illegal in most countries, as dictated by Geneva Conventions. However, there are sickening forms of torture that are practiced even today or were practiced only a few years ago. And they are listed here below:
1. Sensory Deprivation
[Image Source]
Certainly the worst form of torture, depriving one of his/her senses is the most agonizing torture technique. The torturer not only handcuffs the victim, but also blindfolds, plugs his ears and nose to deprive him of 3 out of 5 senses: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling. This has proved to work instantaneously as the poor victim is unable to withstand the loss of his senses.
This technique is used, in one way or the other, in all other techniques.
2. Strappado / Palestinian Hanging
[Image Source]
The 'Palestinian Hanging' is a vile form of torture in which the victim's hands are tied behind his back, a tight rope is then passed over a pully and attached to victim's hands such that the victim hangs over the ground. To further intensify the victim's suffering, weights are attached.
3. Sleep Deprivation
[Image Source]
Another type of torture is sleep deprivation, in which the victim is often made to stand vertically and then whenever he tries to sleep, he is physically harassed, subjected to loud/jarring sounds and bright lights. Sleep is something one has to get in order to remain peaceful and calm. However, when he is not allowed to do so, he will obviously go crazy. This technique is repeated over and over again until the desired results are obtained.
ex-Prime Minister of Israel Menachem Begin described his experience with sleep deprivation as follows:
In the head of the interrogated prisoner, a haze begins to form. His spirit is wearied to death, his legs are unsteady, and he has one sole desire: to sleep… Anyone who has experienced this desire knows that not even hunger and thirst are comparable with it.
4. Subjection to Extreme Heat/Cold
[Image Source]
Extreme heat or cold is very unpleasant. When this is done on a victim when he is already tensed and stressed, it becomes a simple way of torturing. Victim is stripped then put inside a cell (or outdoors, depending on climate) and then made to face extreme heat (up to 50 degrees Celsius) or extreme cold (under 0 degrees Celsius). This technique is in use today.
5. Sexual Harassment (Rape/Sodomy)
[Image Source]
Having sexual intercourse or oral/anal sex with someone against someone's will is called sexual assault. Rape and Sodomy are two different things, but they are generally used to imply the same thing.
In this form of torture, the tormented victim is raped. It really does not matter if the victim is male or female (as proved with Abu Ghuraib). Raping leaves the victim psychologically and physically damaged and anguished.

Thank you SO MUCH to doing this amazing, incredible work!!
As a Korean it is hard for me to find amazing ladies like them around me. Because everyone wants to be same as everyone. So thank you so much I have learned and keep learning from you and beautiful ladies.

I am a new fan of Tziporah. I am 47 years old and while being sick in bed I googled modern fashion for older women. And I found advanced style. What a gorgeous concept. Brilliant! I want the DVD too. And I am now inspired to never let style be stopped in my life.
Thank you for the making of the movie. Hopefully I will make it into it for your future ones. *winks*

This is so wonderful! I cannot wait for the film to be out. I love these women. I have worked in the fashion industry my entire career and at middle age you are unemployable. This really shows that age has no style limits. These ladies are the true icons of style - not the young girls who are all styled the same by stylists!

Holy cow, when is this coming out? This is such a progressive and political film. I know the filmmaker is a man, so is it possible he can understand the immediate impact this can have on the psyche of women? We are always--constantly--told how old and awful we are, how we need to stop wearing mini-skirts after 35, how nobody wants to see our disgusting bodies anymore, etc. etc. It's so depressing and sometimes hard to be happy, feel attractive, or even have fun! THANK YOU for this movie. It really makes a difference.

This is such an awesome concept. I am not into fashion myself but I am so into graceful aging with integrity and personality. These women are truly amazing and appear to be great role models for the baby boomers and future generations. I have some perfect candidates for future projects if you are in need of some incredible octagenearians or nonagenarians from Main Street, USA! Keep this concept alive! Thank you!

Wow. Ari Seth Cohen, you are as awesome as all of the inspired and inspiring women you have given me the chance to encounter in you long trailer. How inspiring and refreshing and so real.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea. I asked my younger boyfriend to buy the book for me for Christmas. It was my FAVORITE gift! I'm a 60-year old manager of a young/hip boutique and I'm showing those girls a thing or two. Many are SO afraid to look different. Guess that's a part of their lives, but NOT a part of mine! You GO ladies!!! I CANNOT wait to see the movie! Matter of fact, I'm throwing a party and taking all my friends to see it, en masse. Keep Stylin'!

My own 80 year old mother considers her clothing similar to the women in the trailer -- it IS her Art!

I'm 75, an actor/playwright, and have cultivated my own style for years. Advanced Style is a breath of fresh air. I never dreamed that so many women of my age group felt so great about their later years. It's inspirational. I can't wait for the documentary.

Greetings. I am contemplating doing my own plumbing work in the bathroom of my new home addition. I have done some plumbing work, but not much design. I have a general idea of most code requirements (Alpharetta, GA - pretty strict, but not much freezing potential). The new bathroom layout is making me scratch my head as to what tbe best place to put a vent stack would be - and how to hook into it with the various components. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a drawing of the layout.

New 3D imagery for Google Earth for mobile (by Google)
Since 2006, we've had textured 3D buildings in Google Earth, and we're excited to announce that we'll begin adding 3D models to entire metropolitan areas to Google Earth on mobile devices in the near future.
Thanks to new imagery rendering techniques and computer vision, we're able to create 3D cityscapes, complete with buildings, terrain and even landscaping, from 45-degree aerial imagery.
By the end of the year, we aim to have 3D coverage for metropolitan areas with a combined population of 300 million people.

Obama hikes pay of select officials - 155 Comments
As millions of Americans face smaller paychecks if the government fails to act to avoid the fiscal cliff, President Obama has raised the ire of some conservative critics by quietly handing over pay hikes — estimated to cost more than $1 billion a year — to Congress, high-ranking federal officials, judges and Vice President Joe Biden.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
On April 19, I sent a letter to the Maine Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety, asking members to take action to provide Maine drivers with a safer and more pleasurable driving experience.
Signs warning motorists to keep to the posted speed limit dot Washington Avenue in Portland in 2010. Speeding is one of the myriad driving infractions that is rampant in Maine, a reader says.
2010 File Photo/Kat Franchino
Speeding is ubiquitous. Running red lights, tailgating, unnecessary passing in breakdown lanes (often near pedestrian crossings), failure to utilize headlights and adjust speed for varying conditions, ignoring and refusing to obey posted speed limits -- all are rampant infractions.
Drivers could take the responsibility to obey the rules of the road, and avoid greater government/law enforcement intervention. It's not too late, but it's got to be one or the other.
Barring those alternatives, throw the book away and let anarchy reign. At least we'd know the score.
There are places where it is almost agony to drive the speed limit, but if you're driving, you obey the law.
Vehicles weigh several tons. They are not bicycles or motorcycles. If drivers are unhappy with posted speed limits, then take action to get the speed limits changed.
I have proposed methods to enforce the laws that would be cost-effective, including using public-service announcements.
Meanwhile, I want a bumper sticker stating: "I'm doing the speed limit. If you don't like the limit, contact the Legislature."

Data in gun story doesn't back misleading headlines
I recently moved back to Maine and looked forward to resubscribing to the Press Herald. I missed it while I was gone. It was always, to me, a fairly balanced news source, untainted by too much sway to either the left of the right.
Apparently, though, something happened while I was gone. You've moved decidedly left, and I'm not talking about your editorial opinions. Rather, the news is slanted.
The story April 19 by Nedra Pickler of The Associated Press was headlined "President, momentum outgunned by the NRA," with the subhead: "The passion of its members foiled new gun-control efforts despite public support and outrage over mass killings."
I read the story and tried very hard to find the data in support of the assertions in those titles. What happened was that a gun control bill was defeated because not enough senators voted for it, plain and simple.
Characterizing it as something engineered by a select few (the National Rifle Association) and accomplished in spite of the supposed majority (public support and outrage) is pure supposition.
If this were on the editorial page, I wouldn't bother to speak up because that is what it is: editorializing.
You have gone beyond the simplicity of reporting the who, what, where and when to formulate the why. You somehow have gotten into the heads and hearts of not only the senators to discern why they voted the way they did, but also the heads of the public to suggest that you know better than we what we are thinking.
This is just one example. There are others.
And please don't mistake this as a diatribe against gun control. It isn't. It is simply an appeal for you to report the facts and resist telling me how I ought to feel and think about those facts. Please.

Mount was suspected of passing the fraudulent currency throughout the Reno, Sparks and Carson City area.
During the investigation, detectives searched Mount's residence where an active financial forgery laboratory was discovered. As a result, several items of evidence were seized, including a computer and printer, which were allegedly utilized to manufacture the fraudulent currency. Mount was arrested on 19 counts of forgery and 19 counts of possession of a forged instrument:
Anyone having information relating to this crime or would like to report any suspected fraudulent activity is encouraged to call the Regional Street Enforcement Team at 334-3065, the Northern Nevada Fraud and Identity Theft Task Force at 334-2107, Secret Witness at 322-4900, report online at www.secretwitness.com, or text the tip to 847411 (TIP 411) keyword "SW."

Public Service Network
The Public Service Network, a program offered through the City Bar Justice Center, fosters public service in the legal community by matching attorneys with legal and non-legal volunteer opportunities in the not-for-profit sector. The Network works with nonprofits to develop potential projects and facilitates the placement of lawyers with opportunities that match their interests and skills. Examples of volunteer opportunities include providing legal services to individual clients or nonprofit organizations, assisting with policy and legal research, providing advice with management assistance, and helping with program development issues. The Network also promotes pro bono development by working with law firms and corporate counsel offices to help them design, implement or improve upon internal pro bono programs.
The original idea for the Network grew out of the experience of Dean John D. Feerick during his tenure as President of the Association. Dean Feerick, known for his own involvement in public interest work, was frequently approached by attorneys who were preparing for retirement and wanted to use their skills in service of the community. These attorneys were often unsure what opportunities existed for volunteer work, who to contact in the nonprofit community, or had been unsuccessful in offering their services to nonprofits. Dean Feerick himself linked these attorneys with volunteer positions but realized that the demand for such services was enough to warrant creating a formalized program to help facilitate these matches. Dean Feerick set up at taskforce to explore this possibility in 1993 and the resulting program, the CityBar Public Service Network, officially opened its doors in 1997. Originally intending to focus on creating legal and non-legal volunteer positions for retired attorneys, the Network has now placed almost 1,000 attorneys at every stage of their careers on legal and non-legal volunteer projects. To date, Network attorneys have donated over 135,000 hours of public service to New York City area nonprofit organizations.
If you are an attorney seeking volunteer opportunities or a non-profit organization that could use volunteer assistance, please contact Dana Alamia, Coordinator of the Network, at (212) 382-6759 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Ethereal is used by network professionals around the world for
troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and
education. It runs on all popular computing platforms, including Unix,
Linux, and Windows.
Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in the AFP
protocol dissectors within Ethereal, as included in various vendors
operating system distributions, could allow attackers to crash the
vulnerable process or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability specifically exists due to a call to the
proto_item_set_text function with user-supplied data. The
proto_item_set_text function uses format strings, which allows a
malicious user to write to arbitrary memory locations with carefully
crafted AFP packets.
To cause Ethereal to dissect an arbitrary packet with the AFP dissector,
the source or destination port must be set to TCP port 548, and the
destination port must not be a port with an already registered
dissector. As Ethereal does not keep state, a single spoofed TCP data
packet can be used to exploit this vulnerability, regardless of whether
there are any ports listening on either end.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability will result in remote root
access, as Ethereal must have root privileges in order to open a raw
socket. Ethereal is often used by network administrators to debug
network problems; as such, it has been rated as a MEDIUM-severity
Ethereal versions 0.10.10 and earlier are reportedly vulnerable. The
following vendors include susceptible Ethereal packages within their
respective operating system distributions:
The Debian Project: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
FreeBSD Project: FreeBSD 5.4 and earlier
Gentoo Foundation Inc.: Gentoo Linux 2004.0, 2004.1, 2004.2, 2004.3 and 2005.0
Mandriva SA: Mandriva Linux 10.1, 10.1 (x86_64), LE2005 and LE2005 (x86_64)
Red Hat Inc.: Fedora Core 3, Enterprise Linux AS/ES/WS 2.1, 3 and 4, Desktop v. 3 and 4
When using Ethereal, use the following filter to disable port 548, and
therefore, automatic AFP dissection:
not port 548
The vendor has issued the following advisory to address this issue:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CAN-2005-2367 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.

Sustainable IDE (SIDE) is a set of graphical tools for developers who want to build sustainable software. Sustainable software is software you can extend easily, from a functional or technological point of view. On one hand, this means that when a user has a new requirement, it's easy for any developer to add it, even if the original author is not there anymore. On another hand, if you want to change the underlying technologies, you don't need to rewrite your existing application from scratch. Sustainable Software gives you the freedom to change technology, requirements, or achitecture. This can be achieved thanks to the use of models in a model driven software development (MDSD) paradigm.

FreeFuzzyTime is a time reasoner based on Fuzzy Temporal Constraint Networks (FTCN), which treats fuzzy temporal information efficiently. It can be integrated into applications for diagnosis. This is especially important in areas like Intensive Care Units, where patients' data are handled by a temporal database. FuzzyTime uses a structure which consists of three levels of abstraction. The upper layer is the user interface, where a translator transforms the expressions introduced by the user into temporal relations between temporal entities (points and intervals). The semantics of a user's expressions are analyzed and stored in the intermediate layer, or temporal world. Finally, the bottom layer is based on the FTCN model.

AUSTIN -- Texas' controversial House Bill 2 will start changing abortion regulations at the end of October, unless Planned Parenthood gets its way.
The American Civil Liberties Union and several other women's health groups have joined Planned Parenthood in filing a federal lawsuit. They are asking a judge to block two provisions of the law that will take effect on October 29.
The first concerns restrictions on a pill combination used to perform abortions, and the second requires doctors to have admitting privileges at hospitals.
Sarah Wheat is Vice President for Communications Affairs at Planned Parenthood. She says, "There is nothing about these intrusive new mandates that will protect women's health."
Joe Pojman, Executive Director of The Texas Alliance for Life, believes having a doctor nearby can only help a patient's recovery.
"If there is a complication of an abortion and the woman has to go to a local hospital, that physician who's responsible for the abortion should be able to follow the patient to the hospital," he says.
Pojman disagrees with Planned Parenthood's claim doctors didn't have enough time to submit paperwork to get those privileges, adding "we shouldn't be dumping women who have complications from abortion in the emergency room at a local hospital. That's not the proper care that women deserve."
When it comes to taking the matter to court, opinions among Texans also vary.
Karen Marino supports the lawsuit. She says "I think whatever it takes. Sometimes if it's a lawsuit, if that's what it takes, then I think it's okay."
Carter Wray is against the lawsuit. He said, "Best of luck to 'em. They have some of the toughest conservatives in the state to go against, so I don't think in Texas they're gonna go anywhere with it."
Planned Parenthood says lawsuits blocking similar measures in Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota and Wisconsin have succeeded.

Television has been getting a bad rap lately for contributing to the decline of cognitive development in children, the decline in moral standards and pretty much the decline of Western civilization as a whole. Now it's getting a bad rap for contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes.
Research from the 10-year Health Professionals Follow-up Study was presented at the American Diabetes Association's scientific sessions in San Diego. Frank B. Hu, a researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health, suggested that television watching is a major impediment for people who are trying to prevent or treat type 2 diabetes. Hu presented data on 37,918 men, 1,058 of whom developed type 2 diabetes. According to the study, men who spent 21 to 40 hours a week watching television were more than twice as likely to develop diabetes compared to men who watched little or no television.
"A substantial number watched 21 to 40 hours per week," says Hu, who adds that the risk for developing diabetes is three times higher in men who watched more than 40 hours per week. "The risk goes roughly in tandem with the amount of TV watched."
Previous studies have found that the risk of obesity, a major risk factor for diabetes, rises with more hours in front of the television.
This study did not look at why TV watching raises the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Dr. William Dietz, director of the Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says that television watching increases the risk of developing diabetes because sitting eliminates even the most normal activity. Dietz mentions, however, that simply turning off the television set will not reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
"If you replace TV watching with reading, there may not be a health benefit," says Dietz.
Hu suggests that compensating television watching with comfortable levels of exercise can reduce the risk of diabetes. The Health Professionals Study looked at several forms of activity, including walking and running, and converted them statistically into levels of energy expenditure. Most notably, those who used the most energy by running every day reduced their diabetes risk by about 50 percent compared to those who watched 21 to 40 hours of TV per week. Even those who did about 20 minutes of walking on most days reduced their risk of developing diabetes by about 20 percent, compared to those who watched 21 to 40 hours of TV per week. Those who did the 30 minutes of moderate activity on most days, as current federal guidelines for good health recommend, had a risk reduction of more than 30 percent.
Jody Wilkinson, a research physician at the Cooper Institute of Aerobics Research in Dallas, says that the findings of the study fit a research trend that shows the risk of developing diabetes goes down as the levels of exercise goes up.
"The majority of us aren't even getting the minimal levels [of exercise]," says Wilkinson.
Hu agrees, saying that even light exercise is more beneficial in preventing diabetes than no exercise at all.
"The more you exercise, the lower your risk."

A self-described "people's painter," Benny Andrews (American, 1930-2006) was born in Plainview, Georgia, to a family of sharecroppers. In 1948, he received a small scholarship to attend college, but eventually had to drop out. He joined the US Air Force in 1950, served for the duration of the Korean War, and received an honorable discharge in 1954. With funding from the GI Bill, Andrews returned to school, enrolling in the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1958, he received his degree and left Chicago for New York City.
Settling in a tenement on the Lower East Side, he developed the "rough collage" technique that became a hallmark of his style. As Sims in her catalogues essay explains, "Andrews's use of collage came out of that fact that he found oil painting 'too academic' and imbued with more 'sophisticated' associations. He found the textural quality of collage appealing, and he used it to 'keep himself off balance.' . . . Andrews's work, with its calculated awkwardness, unconventional techniques, and Southern focus, exists provocatively alongside that of self-taught artists. But as art historian and Andrews scholar J. Richard Gruber would caution us, despite Andrews's predilection for 'realistic subject matter, he was intrigued by the fundamental issues associated with abstract art.' While he was often in conflict with his instructors and peers over the emphasis on abstract expressionism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago . . . he would come to be 'increasingly more convinced that all art was fundamentally abstract.'"
By the 1960s, Andrews had mastered this technique and exhibition opportunities followed. In 1965, with funding from a John Hay Whitney Fellowship, Andrews traveled to Georgia and began working on his Autobiographical Series. He continued to paint, exhibit, travel, write, and teach until his death from cancer at age 76. During his lifetime, he lectured extensively and received numerous fellowships, grants, and other awards from prestigious international institutions. His work is featured in over thirty permanent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, High Museum (Atlanta, Georgia), Art Institute of Chicago, Studio Museum of Harlem, and Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC).
Andrews did not see art as a substitute for action. In 1968, he began teaching at Queens College, CUNY, where he was part of the SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation and Knowledge) program designed to help students from underserved areas prepare for college. In 1969, he was a founding member of the Black Emergency Cultural Coalition (BECC), which advocated for greater representation of black artists, curators, and intellectuals within major museums. In 1971, the art classes he had been teaching at the Manhattan Detention Complex became the cornerstone of a nation-wide prison art program. From 1982 to 1984, he directed the NEA's Visual Arts Program, and shortly before his death in 2006, Andrews was working on an art project in the Gulf Coast with children displaced by Hurricane Katrina. In 2002, he and his wife, sculptor Nene Humphrey, established the Benny Andrews Foundation to help emerging artists gain greater recognition and to encourage artists to donate their work to historically black museums. In 2008, The Foundation donated over 300 of Andrews's artworks to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to be distributed to appropriate cultural and educational institutions that will use the artworks as a foundation for education initiatives.
In 2008, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery became the representative of the estate of Benny Andrews, but the gallery has been exhibiting his work regularly since 1994. Most recently, Andrews was part of the 2012 exhibition Benny Andrews, Bob Thompson, Alice Neel, which brought together three New York friends, who steadily pursued figural expressionism in a creative landscape dominated by abstraction and minimalism.
Lowery Stokes Sims, author of "Benny Andrews: From Earth to Heaven and Back," is the Charles Bronfman International Curator at the Museum of Arts and Design. She was on the education and curatorial staff of the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1972-1999 before serving as executive director, president, and adjunct curator for the permanent collection at The Studio Museum in Harlem (2000-2007). A specialist in modern and contemporary art, Sims is known for her expertise in the work of African, Latino, Native, and Asian American artists. She has lectured and guest curated exhibitions nationally and internationally and was a visiting professor at Queens College and Hunter College in New York City, a fellow at the Clark Art Institute, and a visiting scholar in the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota in 2007. She has also served on the selection jury for the World Trade Center memorial and is on the boards of ArtTable, Inc., the Tiffany Foundation, and Art Matters, Inc.
Visuals available upon request.
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is located at 100 11th Avenue (at 19th Street), New York, NY, 10011. Gallery hours are Tuesday–Saturday, 10AM-6PM.

There are two different things here:
1) The textual system of Dzogchen in which there are samayas which much be maintained (actually some Dzogchen tantras state there are no samayas to maintain -- this point is addressed by Nyi 'bum in his tshig don bcu gcig).
2) The teachings of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu in which it is maintained that the principle of Dzogchen is not based on vows to follow. But of course even ChNN expects his students to follow samaya. But in his case, it is interesting because he has not (to my knowledge) detailed a specific list of vows nor has he bothered to say anything about samaya other than that we ought to strive to get along with each other, and not blabber secret teachings in public.
But this is all besides the point of thread -- the subject of which is why Śakyamuni Buddha felt compelled to prohibit alcohol.

LA Weekly celebrated Meatless Monday this week with vegan pâté from BLD in Los Angeles. And yes, they have the recipe! You know our Megan loves (LOVES) the Regal Vegan's Faux Gras, and pâté is terribly chic to serve alongside your artisan vegan cheese, locally sourced and cultured pickled vegetables, and homemade antipasti. So let's make it!

It's Paul Shapiro's Animal News You Can Use! Yay, Paul! Yay, Animals!
I'm psyched to let you know that HSUS worked with L.A.'s school system to implement a Meatless Monday program for all L.A. public schools (K-12). Every Monday, all 650,000 meals they serve are now all-vegetarian. It's my honor to be on CNN HLN tonight discussing this news with the always-wonderful Jane Velez-Mitchell. You can watch the segment here—please share it!
Colorado's legislature held a hearing this week on a bill to ban the cruel tail-docking of dairy cows. Despite the practice being opposed by the American Veterinary Medical Association, dairy farmers still shamefully defended the practice at the hearing.
NPR's "On the Media" had a very worthwhile interview about the meat industry's efforts to silence whistleblowers by passing laws to ban undercover investigations by HSUS and fellow great animal protection groups. Check it out.
Finally, you may be interested in this op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer about the horsemeat scandal.

On that note, Los Angeles became the biggest city in the country to official start promoting Meatless Mondays. (Even the Today Show covered it!)
Finally, if you've got some time and want a fascinating read, here's Washington Monthly's new feature, "Obama's Game of Chicken." As they bill the story: "The untold story of how the administration tried to stand up to big agricultural companies on behalf of independent farmers, and lost."

Los Angeles City Council passes Meatless Monday resolution! »
Good job, Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry and Councilman Ed Reyes! With the support of your colleagues, you made L.A. the largest U.S. city to lend its support to Meatless Mondays. Which is great! We are proud of your initiative.
Of course, we see this as ascending one more rung on the meatless ladder, eventually achieving such heights as Ghent's civic Vegetarian Thursdays, and one day going full veg, once we become a totally socialist nation of bread lines and communes omg—but for now, it is a good step, a non-binding resolution, and we applaud it. As does our Meatless Monday spokesbeing, we're sure.
We love you, Los Angeles! Congratulations!

Guest Post: Meatless Monday Murderers? Chico State students not stoked for Meatless Monday! »
A few weeks back, someone in the USDA sent out a newsletter that seemed to favor the latest push to wean Americans off of their meat addiction, Meatless Mondays. But as soon as the proverbial ink dried on this newsletter, the clowns in the meat industry cried louder than the millions of livestock they brutally slaughter everyday, claiming this new fangled Meatless Monday was a detriment to the farmers of our fine country. The idea behind USDA's Meatless Monday was part of a "green" initiative, not so much a diet. Their endorsement of Meatless Mondays was meant as a push to lower the ecological footprint. Well…how dare they.
The outcry from the middle states, the ones with right-angle-borders and no indoor plumbing, makes some sense. But here, in my supposedly progressive state of California, we're having a similar issue. California State University, Chico, may be the latest school to participate in Meatless Monday. However, the school's agricultural department, both students and instructors it seems, are taking to the school's Facebook page to voice their displeasure over the decision to being part of a Meatless Monday campaign.
Seems not-so-shocking, right? An agricultural department not wanting to be part of an event that caters to consumption of…agriculture. But it gets worse. Chico is like many Cal State schools that has multiple areas where students can find food. This Meatless Monday event is only going to take place in ONE dining hall, Sutter Hall, where only ONE of the five food stations would be serving meat-free dishes on ONE of five days of the school week. Whole lotta ones.
This Tuesday, October 9th, there will be a Meatless Monday meeting held on Chico's campus at 5:30 PM in BMU 209. The Humane Society of the United States will be on hand talking about the Farm-Animal Rights Movement as well as the Meatless Monday campaign. If you or anyone you know lives or works near Chico, I encourage you to voice your support. Both in terms of a greener planet and healthier diets, we have to crawl before we can cartwheel off the pommel horse. Bullies like the Ag Department at Chico and the meat industry on the national level will do anything to stop us from crawling. And are proud to do so. Just take a look at these comments:
And now I'm off to grab a hamburger.
Courtesy of Jennifer Ryder Fox, Dean of CSUC School of Agricultural. This is how she signed off on an e-mail to all the agricultural students where she stated she was appalled by the school's decision to include Meatless Mondays. She also went on to say:
…which was clearly influenced by the Humane Society of the United States, who uses its cover of a caring, moderate animal welfare organization to advance its true mission of ending animal agriculture.
Right. Now let's mirror that to the comments made on Twitter by Iowa Senator Charles Grassley after USDA pulled their newsletter:
I will eat more meat on Monday to compensate for stupid USDA recommendation abt (sic) a meatless Monday.
Perhaps the Dean and the Senator should hook up on LinkedIn.

It's Animal News You Can Use from Paul Shapiro! Yay, Paul! Yay, Animals!
Huge news this week: Big agribusiness lost another round in its continued assault on Prop 2, the ballot measure we waged four years ago in California to ban various factory farming practices. A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled in HSUS's favor and threw out a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law.
Also big news is that meat consumption is in significant decline in the US. Here's a new piece from me looking at the trend and the reasons behind it. And here's a nice segment from the ABC San Francisco TV affiliate about HSUS helping a local school district implement Meatless Monday.
Speaking of big, my friend Big Bruce Friedrich has a good new essay about how the pork industry's leadership is both anti-science and anti-animal.
P.S. Video of the week: Man apologizes to cat by building him an amazing gift.

It's Paul Shapiro's Animal News You Can Use! WOOHOO!
Good news: A judge has rejected the foie gras industry's attempt to put a hold on California's new law banning the force-feeding of ducks (and selling products from force-fed ducks).
More good news: North America's largest foodservice distributor, Sysco, is the latest food giant to come out against gestation crate confinement of pigs.
In response to the gestation crate debate, the National Pork Producers Council's communications director was seriously quoted in the National Journal this week saying: "So our animals can't turn around for the 2.5 years that they are in the stalls producing piglets…I don't know who asked the sow if she wanted to turn around." (No, this isn't a quote from 30 years ago—it's July 24, 2012. Seriously. Yes, I know.)
Amazingly, USDA put out a newsletter this week including a mention of the health and environmental benefits of Meatless Monday. This of course drew immediate outrage from the meat industry and its allies in Congress (Rep. Steve King from Iowa tweeted that it was "heresy"), prompting USDA to immediately remove the newsletter and announce that it wasn't properly vetted. Lots of coverage on this, though the national AP story put it best when it aptly concluded, "The USDA often promotes the beef industry by encouraging Americans to eat meat." (NPR and NY Times had good coverage, too.)
Video of the week: Best way to prevent dog shedding… (Or, if you want to upset Rep. King, feel free to share HSUS's fun Meatless Monday video online today!)

Top Line: Henrik Zetterberg does Detroit no favors; referee paranoia; more links
An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• Henrik Zetterberg's absence from Sweden's team photo session didn't go unnoticed this morning. Turns out he was receiving treatment for a herniated disc in his back and could miss some time in Sochi. Tough for the Swedes, but even worse for the Red Wings. They have to be thrilled that both Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk are battling through obvious injuries to play in the Olympics instead of resting up for the stretch drive with Detroit.
• Just because they've made some lousy calls doesn't mean that Olympic officials are out to get your country. It just might be that they're not that good at officiating hockey games.
• Team USA was never tested in a 7-1 thrashing of Slovakia in its Olympic opener. This was a laugher from the start, with the Slovaks apparently thinking they could win by never possessing the puck. Tough night for goalie Jaro Halak, who reinforced every fear that Blues fans have about him and his ability to lead St. Louis into the postseason.
• Russia survived an early scare to hold off Slovenia, 5-2. But hey, how about that Ziga Jeglic? That was a big game for the unknown Slovenian forward, who is currently playing in the German league.
• It's not as much fun scoring an Olympic hat trick when your team gets pounded 8-4.
• Maybe next time Austria should try riding bikes to the rink.

Thanks so much, Cora!!
I tried to fix the hand on the right, but kind of failed :/
Oooooo I love this! The dress is adorable and I love how you did her face (especially the eyes)! Are you going to finish it? I think the hand closest to us is pretty good (maybe a tiny bit small like you said but not tooo small). The one farther away from us needs some work, but i'm guessing you know that already. Keep it up!
The figure's right han looks great, but her left hand is a bit shaky. I love the pose; it's very expressive. I would take a second look at her left thigh, which looks a wee bit thin and like it doesn't connect to her torso. Try drawing her body under the dress to remedy that. As for the coloring, you have a nice, soft style, but it is very low-contrast. Try adding some cool colors to the skin shadows to make it pop and bring it to life. Also consider a warmer highlight on the dress (instead of that electric blue) to get the same effect.
Sorry for the double post...
Some perspective work I did in the GB:
And the extremely poorly shaded version:
Sorry, I'm not used to the watercolor (?) tool on the GB yet
And here are a couple other GB doodles:
The legs are kind of off in this one ^
I really really like second to last, it's adorable and has a really nice style to it.
I'll give you a good suggestion to get better lineart: before actually drawing, do a few pages of 30-20 second gesture drawings to loosen up your hand.
Use things like lovecastle.com or other such tools.
Demon's Secret Santa gift:
The reference was clothed, so I couldn't figure the torso out that well. The shoulder on the right is pretty funky and I still suck and hands and feet OTL
Here's the reference picture:
Hey Jjjorgie! Good to see you trying to push yourself with the poses. In times like these, it may be a good idea to do a quick red line stick figure over top of the photo ref just to get a clearer idea of what body part is going where. There were a couple areas where your drawing wanders from the reference pose. The main area that I noticed was the head and shoulder position. The reference is really hunched over, so much so that you may not even even be able to see his abdomen. His left (our right) shoulder is lower than the one you drew and the head is also set lower. I've provided a quick red line to help you see what I mean.
Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.

Center for Sport Sciences
College Announces Plans for 'Total Sport Facility Like No Other' at the NCAA Division III Level
The College's new Center for Sport Sciences promises to make an immediate impact upon four of the institution's major areas: academics, athletics, recreation and community outreach. The 36,000 square-foot facility will not only be home to WC's nationally prominent athletic training program, but will accommodate training for essentially all of the College's 21 sports teams, in addition to giving students additional options for recreational activities.
Furthermore, the Center will host a one-stop shop for the area's sports medicine needs as world class orthopedic, physical therapy and hospital imaging services will all be under one roof and available to the campus and greater community. Also, these will provide athletic training majors with access to multiple on-campus clinical sites for additional hands-on learning.
The 3,000 square-foot, athletic training facility will feature state-of-the-art classrooms and labs — and provide space for this marque program to grow. The facility, located within easy access of WC's contiguous sports venues, will offer such amenities as two in-ground hydrotherapy pools, electrical muscle stimulators, and cryo-compression and ultrasound units.
The Center's 17,400 square-foot sport training facility will provide for an all-indoor with artificial turf playing surface and batting cages. The complex will open to an outdoor, lighted training field with an artificial turf surface for multiple sports and intramurals.
The current plan calls for construction to begin on the new facility in spring 2014 with an expected opening in time for the fall '15 semester.
Terry Rupert, vice president for athletics administration, said the Center for Sport Sciences will be "a total sport facility like no other" at the NCAA Division III level.
"The Center will directly impact well over half of our student body as they engage in their academic, athletic and recreational pursuits, and will be an especially appealing attraction for prospective students. It will provide a 'hands-on' facility for student-athletes and athletic training students to develop their skills in their quest for excellence. Also, having such strong College partners as these sports medicine-related businesses involved is value added to an outstanding facility."
