Highbrow folk like us often find the traditional emoticon can struggle to express how we really feel. We don't ALWAYS want to convey that we're blindly happy, crying with laughter or horizontally-lipped and nonplussed. Sometimes, we need something a little more creative. Thank the lord, then, that Hyo Hong has come up with just the solution, in the form of the multifaceted (in its truest sense) Cindy Sherman-icon.
I can't tell you a whole lot about Lithuanian artist Art Belikov other than he's 24 years old and, er, Lithuanian. And that all his images are fantastical digital creations. But in spite of the lack of background information currently available to me I'd just like to say that his work is extraordinary. He's a maker of 3D rendered images depicting scenes borrowed from late 90s sci-fi; all "vintage" cell phones and games consoles, cans of mysterious energy drinks and designer bottled water. There's a 666 in his URL too so you can be sure he's a cool guy! When we finally track the man down we'll ask him some questions about what it all means, but for now just drink in the eerie beauty of his digital creations.
If when you close your eyes at night you dream of tying a silk kerchief over your carefully curled 'do and hopping in a classic Chevy to sail down the West Coast, you might find yourself as enamoured as I do with the work of painter Jessica Brilli. She favours endless-seeming roads and vintage cars for her expressive oil paintings, and she's got recreating them on canvas down to a fine art. Her landscapes are dream-like in their expansiveness and colour palette, while her portraits seems to hark back to an era when a Chevy was still commonplace and kerchiefs were still pretty cool. And a little picturesque fantasy never hurt anybody, eh?
Public art project London is Changing makes Londoners uncomfortably aware of the truths we're perhaps trying to ignore: that our city is morphing beyond recognition, that creativity is at risk, and that for many people, it's simply becoming unaffordable.
While keeping himself busy with postmodern Howard Hodgkin-esque painting and collage work, Ben Sanders is somehow finding the time to paint funny faces on ceramics. Cutting through the "worthy lifestyle" pottery trend with googly eyes, zigzag nostrils and creepy grins, Ben has stamped his sense of humour and aesthetic all over these thriving succulents' homes.
A "giddy joy" was described as the feeling evoked by the artwork of Olafur Eliasson when we interviewed him for last year's Autumn edition of Printed Pages, and with his monumental, often participatory pieces, it's not hard to see why. From his incredible 2003 Weather Project at Tate Modern to its portable, socially-conscious, tiny counterpart Little Sun(which "produces clean, affordable, and portable solar-powered lamps to areas of the world without reliable access to electricity"), his work is a glorious, utterly original ray of light shining on the sometimes impenetrable art world.
In another brilliant feat of creative engineering that bridges the gap between music, art and design, a project at the White Cube gallery in London's Bermondsey sees musicians including Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore perform a composition for Christian Marclay, which is recorded and pressed on site by The Vinyl Factory Press. The press is housed in a shipping container, and the artwork for the record – also created on site – is designed by Christian and printed by Coriander Press, in a series that feels like cottage industry, DIY ideas brought into a slick, art-world setting.
"Think of bayous…crawfish…sea creatures…metal…tieing shoelaces…not knowing what to do sometimes and just doing it." This is Lynda Benglis' bizarre monologue, with which she ends the introduction to her new show.
Brecht, after five years of admiring your work I can happily say that I can spell your name without looking. And I can tell you that even though I've spent years admiring the skill of your painting, I can finally say that I think I actually get it. Over time, Brecht's erratic artworks have become increasingly crowded with characters, pop culture references, logos, and his trademark long-limbed creatures.
It's my personal opinion that some of the most exciting creative work starts life as a side project to distract from commercial jobs. Such is definitely the case for Antoine Corbineau, a French illustrator and designer who has worked on a plethora of projects for commercial clients, drawing up large-scale, intricate scenes of characters interacting in an enormous, often map-like style. Potentially even more alluring, however, is Antoine's painting work. It's distinctly less bright, almost realist in its approach, depicting familiar domestic scenes and landscapes interspersed with small but resonant human activity. His attention to minute detail – the foliage of a plant, a picture frame, the icons on a computer screen – and his accuracy in creating scenes that you could swear you'd seen before makes this body of work oddly enchanting.
Seth Bogart is quite the Renaissance man. The frontman of San Francisco-based band Hunx & His Punx is also an artist, producing paintings, drawings and ceramics; a video director; a photographer and a fashion designer. He has collaborated with Yves Saint Laurent and has his own store, Wacky Wacko, for which he also designs installations. Seriously, this guy.
Latvia-born Ella Kruglyanskaya now lives and works in New York, depicting cartoon-like friends and "frienemies" out-and-about in large-scale oil paintings and murals. Ella's work is packed with bawdy humour, exaggerated forms, exuberant mark-making and interactions. She describes her intention as "pictorial events… [that] aspire to an unspoken punch line" – the content, references and line-work all filtered through comedy.
Annie Descôteaux's work is confident, engaging and straight-forwardly slapstick. The Montreal-based artist works with installation, drawing and collage and has seen her work exhibited and discussed at conferences on colour theory. In equally impressive outings, it's also appeared in Bloomberg and Pica magazines, among other publications. Annie's collage work is well-balanced with clean lines, sharp colours and discreet humour; each piece littered with raw steak, fried eggs and shuttlecocks.

Callebaut® 'Growing Great Chocolate' program grew by a third in 2013

Growing Great Chocolate program- Increase of 33% in the number of trained farmers
- Objective of doubling the yield per hectare by 2018
Wieze, April 9, 2014 – Callebaut® presented today the latest news on its Growing Great Chocolate program. Under it Callebaut® has been since 2012 producing its entire Finest Belgian Chocolate range with sustainable cocoa. As of the end of August 2013, Callebaut® was training nearly 40 000 cocoa farmers. Compared with 2012, this is an increase of 33% in the number of trained farmers. And Callebaut® will continue to focus this year on increasing farmer field schools, academies, mobile educational trucks, and the total number of trained farmers.
The Growing Great Chocolate program was launched on 1 May 2012. The decisive step to choose for sustainable cocoa was made with Callebaut® customers in mind, recognizing their requirements for high quality chocolate with sustainable cultivation. With the program, Callebaut® is involved at the source in training farmers, thus increasing both the quality and quantity of cocoa beans, therefore, quality and quantity of its Finest Belgian Chocolate.
Objective: double the yield per hectare by 2018
The improvements in the last year were aided strongly by Cocoa Horizons, an initiative founded in 2012 by Barry Callebaut with the objectives of doubling the yield per hectare of cocoa farmers (+800 kg/ha) by 2018 and significantly improving cocoa quality by eliminating the main obstacles to a sustainable cocoa supply chain: three key gaps in knowledge, materials and funding. By aiding the farmers in their practices, Cocoa Horizons seeks to bridge these gaps, and, ensuring a holistic standpoint, it also prioritizes education and access to health care.
Thanks to Cocoa Horizons, Callebaut®'s Growing Great Chocolate program has more trained farmers across an increased number of cooperatives who are able to farm with greater skill, yield more cocoa, and thus benefit from an increased income. Additionally as important, adults and youth benefit from literacy courses, life skills and vocational training, as well as educational infrastructure. Understanding that remote cocoa farming areas often lack medical facilities and access to clean water, Cocoa Horizons works with farmers and communities to improve access to basic health care services and water, distributing mosquito nets, sponsoring vaccinations and funding boreholes.
As of the end of August 2013, Callebaut® was training nearly 40 000 cocoa farmers. This is compared with 2012 an increase of 33% in the number of trained farmers. For 2014 Callebaut® continues to focus on increasing farmer field schools, academies, mobile educational trucks, and the total number of trained farmers.
'Making a difference in the lives of the farmers'
'We are proud to be making such a difference in the quality of our cocoa, in the yields, and in the lives of the farmers on the ground.' says Cathy Manlow, Callebaut® Brand Development Manager. 'We continue to believe in Growing Great Chocolate, and in addition to thanking our dedicated Cocoa Horizons team and the diligent work of our partnered farmers, we'd also like to thank our customers, as we couldn't make a difference without their passion for our Finest Belgian Chocolate.'
Callebaut® (www.callebaut.com):
For more than 100 years, Callebaut® has been making chocolate in the heart of Belgium and is still one of the rare chocolate makers to select, roast and grind cacao beans into its own secret and exclusive cocoa mass – the most important ingredient for chocolate couvertures.

Old CD drives are a decent source for parts to make things from. Since the computer industry has encouraged manufacturing churn for so many decades, it is pretty easy to find at least a few surplus drives to dissect. Inside these dusty relics, you will be lucky to find DC motors, switches, gears, springs and more. The tools you will need are pretty easy to come by as well. From the parts you will find, you can make a number of interesting projects.
You can get drives from old computers, which always seem to be at the dump, on the sidewalk of some neighborhoods, out on the loading dock of the school, in basements and garages, etc. It is important that wherever you get them they come to you legitimately free of expectations. These will not be functioning drives after a few minutes of the project.
Teach your family to solder! Take a few pictures tagged as "MAKEcation" and put them in the MAKE Flickr pool by September 9th to enter to win a $100 Maker Shed gift certifiate!
Old computer CD drives (older ones often have better parts)
Plastic bags for storing parts (zippered half size sandwich bags are great)
Small cardboard boxes for storing the larger metal and plastic parts
Battery holder
Paper and pen
Digital camera
Paper clip
Safety glasses
Small phillips head screwdriver
Straight screwdriver
Jeweler's screwdrivers
Pliers, needle nose or channel lock
Utility knife
Soldering iron
Wire cutters/strippers
How does it work?
How is it made?
Differences in technique and age of manufacture
Identifying electrical components
Getting and organizing supplies for future use
Time frame:
An hour or more is ideal
Mastery Objective:
Students and participants will know how to safely disassemble a CD drive or similar electrojunk for parts and project supplies so that they can name the parts inside the device, compare the varieties of manufacturing techniques to solve the same problem and organize the usable parts and components for future use in projects.
What do you have?
Probably the first thing to do is look at the exterior of the drives you have.
Make note of any markings on the drive. Some things you will likely find are the manufacturer, model number, read/write speed of the drive and my favorite: Date of Manufacture.
The date of manufacture will give you some context to judge the drives in your collection by. Often the older the drive is, the more "off the shelf" the components are.
Use your camera:
Take some photos with your camera or camera phone to show the process of taking the drive apart.
You can also have participants and students take pictures of each of the systems they find, and each of the types of components they find inside.
Case disassembly:
Put on your safety glasses.
Use a screwdriver to take the metal case off the drive. It will usually be 4 phillips screws on the sides that hold it together.
In taking off the metal case, try to keep it from getting deformed. The steel can be useful later. You may find that there are plastic tabs holding one of the pieces in place.
Try to get the case to just fall apart without having to be forced. Most of the time it will just come apart after you remove the screws and press on the plastic tabs.
If you do have to tug on the parts, you may have missed a screw under a sticker. If all else fails, make sure all of the eyes are protected, and pull it apart carefully, probably below the table.
Pop open the CD drawer by straightening out a paper clip and slipping it into the hole on the front panel. The drawer should open easily. You might even find a disc inside.
To remove the drawer, you may have to pry apart the plastic sides, or it might just come apart easily. Different models have varying designs. Be careful if you put force on it that the parts don't fly and hurt somebody.
Be careful not to Over-Disassemble!
You may find that there is a dc motor that is in a plastic housing that holds it in contact with a gear which could serve as a nice little drive wheel. Take it out, but secure it together so it can be used in a future project. If it doesn't stay together with screws or pressure fitting plastic, run a bit of tape around it to hold it.
You may also find that the CD reading eye moves nicely on its' slides. If it is controlled by a DC motor, this could be a neat system to use later.
Basically, look at the things you are taking apart, and see if they can be used as systems or components.
Securing the wires coming from the motor with a bit of tape will help keep them from breaking off later.
Motors and how to read them:
You should find two types of motors inside: DC motor and Stepper motor.
The easiest way to identify a DC motor is by looking at the number of wires coming off it. Most have just two wires. DC motors are controlled by sending electricity through the motor, causing it to turn either clockwise or counterclockwise. Sometimes you may find that there are several more wires going into another area of the case. These can be to an encoder that helps read the speed and direction of the motor.
Stepper motors have more wires coming from them, and often are built right onto a circuit board. These turn by receiving a series of pulses, each of which advances the motor one step. By controlling the timing and quantity of the pulses with a microcontroller, it is possible to precisely set the speed and even the number of degrees the motor will turn.
Save the good bits
As you go, put the useful parts into plastic bags or bins. Label the bags with scraps of paper for easy identification.
You should be able to find at least the following:
- DC motors, usually one will open the tray, sometimes you will find a second to move the eye.
- Gears to drive the mechanisms
- Switches, either momentary pushbutton or other mechanical contactors
- Headphone jack
- Potentiometer
- Screws
Desolder the components you want from the circuit boards:
The headphone jack, LED, momentary switches and sometimes motors will be soldered directly to the circuit boards. You can use a desoldering braid and an iron to free these items from the boards. If they have fittings, you may want to keep the fittings and instead remove the headers that connect them to the board. You should be able to scrape the coating off the metal traces to solder the fittings to a wire for future projects.
Make a vibrobot.
Practice soldering and desoldering with the components on the boards.
Use a battery holder to power some of the things you find inside.
Use a fishing tackle box to store your parts in labeled bins.
Make a video explaining what you have found inside your CD drives.
Make a poster identifying each of the parts of a CD drive and telling what each does.
Use the parts of the drives to make something amazing!
So give it a shot!
You can try this solo, but it is definitely more fun scavenging old drives in a group with the stuff all ending up on the table. You can compare the differences and similarities between drives better in a group, and you can share observations about the systems. Having a nice collection of stuff to pick from is a great feature of the project. An added bonus is finding handwritten markings made by the people who made the drive. Give yourself and the group some time to explore what you find. In my experience, it takes a few hours to dig through the drives and then make something from the debris. You can do it in one workshop, or you can spread it over a few classes. Share your findings in the comments, and add your photos to the MAKE Flickr pool.

Logical Cable
Harness Design and Power
Logical Cable allows the user to engineer their electrical wire harness design very quickly and easily while, simultaneously, electrical models are defined for performance analysis. Simple cursor "strokes" and graphic palettes allow quick interaction while minimizing the time needed for training. Multi-window editing and user configurability enables designers to quickly create their design and ensure the design intent has been achieved.
Managing Configuration Complexity
Logical Cable provides an efficient means for managing the variant and option complexity in today's transportation products. A key benefit is the ability to manage device and connector pin usage across the entire project to eliminate errors associated with multiple assignments of the same pin an error that would typically not be discovered until very late in the development process.
The ability to define and assign a particular variant or option to objects in Logical Cable allows all the design data to be reused for specific product configurations instead of today's oftentimes manual task of copying the design data. Using the Combination Matrix, the user simply selects the variant and option set they want and Logical Cable configures the data specifically for that configuration. This configuration of data is reflected in reports, shared with the 3D environment or any other downstream process that receives the data.
Analysis and Validation
Every design must be validated to ensure the electrical design objectives have been met. Logical Cable provides the means to achieve this goal. With the optional DC Analyzer module, designs can be analyzed to determine voltage and current loading and assist in wire and fuse sizing. Logical Cable also provides a powerful range of design-wide rule checks such as pin/wire size mismatches, signal name discrepancies, out-of-date parts and many more. In addition to a full suite of built-in design checks, Logical Cable allows the user to create custom checks for evaluating and reporting company or design-specific rule violations. Logical Cable even allows signal tracing throughout the design hierarchy to ensure signals are connected correctly.
Component Library Management
Provided with Logical Cable is a comprehensive library management system. The Cable Library System (CLS) provides robust part and associated relationship management capabilities that allow the designer to select the optimum part given specific design criteria. This library enforces part consistency and ensures the parts have the correct information for the task at hand and downstream events.
Enabling Multiple Design Representations
Electrical systems designers often begin with a high-level block diagram before progressing into more detailed design. This top-level design view guides subsequent detail design activity as the project matures. Conversely, information from various design phases must be shared with the whole process. To manage these multiple design representations, Diagram Hierarchy associates the electrical design at various levels of abstraction. Multiple design representations are managed while maintaining consistency and change control among various diagrams.
MCAD Integration
Discovering electromechanical compatibility conflicts late in the design process jeopardizes time-to-market and product quality. Mentor Graphics has partnered with leading MCAD tools including Dassault Systems' CATIA, EDS's UG/Wiring and Harness Design, and PTC's Pro/CABLE. The partnerships provide a data-bridge between the electrical and mechanical environments to bring design disciplines together. This sharing of data provides accurate 3D digital mock-ups and allows designers to evaluate design decisions within the overall electromechanical environment. This integrated, multi-discipline approach eliminates errors and accelerates design completion.
Reporting and Documentation
Generating wire lists, bill of materials, and other forms of documentation is a critical deliverable for many customers. In addition to default wire lists and bill of materials formats, Logical Cable provides extensive, easy to use capabilities to create custom formats. This provides reports in specific formats requested by your customer, other organizations, and suppliers. In addition, diagram graphics may be exported to various graphic formats for inclusion in other documentation.
Supporting the Flow
Logical Cable is a powerful logical design entry tool for harnessing applications. Wire definitions, part specification and connectivity are defined in Logical Cable and can then be shared with a wide variety of wire harness tools in the Capital Harness Systems environment, providing a streamlined design to manufacturing flow. Capital Harness engineers and validates wire harnesses to a fully buildable state, ready for costing and production. An interface between Logical Cable and Capital Manager allows connectivity and parts data to flow seamlessly throughout the design, providing manufacturing data that is complete and correct. This ensures that data is entered only once, thus eliminating data re-entry errors and design delays.

Karen T. Bruchak, RN, MSN, MBA
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
What is Constipation? What can I do to prevent constipation? When should I call my doctor about my constipation? How is constipation treated?
Karen T. Bruchak, RN, MSN, MBA responds:
What is constipation?
Constipation refers to a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements and/or the difficult passage of hard stool, which often causes pain, discomfort and, sometimes, bleeding from the rectum. Constipation is caused by too little fluid and not enough movement in the bowel. In patients being treated for cancer, several factors may contribute to the development of constipation, including poor food and fluid intake, lack of activity, and general weakness. Certain medications, especially pain medications and certain chemotherapy drugs, may also cause constipation. And sometimes the cancer itself, especially cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, may cause constipation.
What Can I Do to Prevent Constipation?
Unlike many of the other side effects of cancer and its treatment, there are certain things that you yourself can do to prevent or minimize constipation. The actions to take include:
Know what to look for. The signs and symptoms of constipation include:
Jan 5, 2011 - Colonoscopy may be associated with a strongly reduced risk for colorectal cancer (CRC), with risk reduction observed for both left-sided and right-sided CRC, according to research published in the Jan. 4 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos look like the clear-cut AFC favorite they were supposed to be, but we'll know in a three-week stretch from mid-November to early-December if anybody else has a chance. That's when they have a Week 12 game at New England sandwiched between Week 11 and 13 matchups with Kansas City.Start Slideshow
If you haven't noticed, Tom Brady's Patriots and Alex Smith's Chiefs are the only other two undefeated teams left in the conference. Until then, those teams will try to keep building momentum as they try to keep up with Denver's torrid pace.
LIVE: Vote for the NFL's best announcer
MORE: Best images
Last week: 1Next
Why they're here: They showed the championship fight of a Super Bowl favorite with their rally from 20-3 down in Houston to a stunning 23-20 victory. They can beat teams with both big blowouts and big comebacks.
How they move down: Get off to another slow start on the road. They are well out of their time zone in Indianapolis this week and may have some hangover from their overtime work against the Texans.
What's next: at Colts, where Russell Wilson gets to duel with Andrew Luck for the first time.
MORE: Seahawks show why they are Super Bowl-bound
Last week: 2Next
Why they're here: They're averaging almost 45 points per game, and it's been a lot more than Peyton Manning. Their running game, special teams and defense are contributing a load to the scoring. They keep attacking, and no opponent has had enough to attack back.
How they move up: As much as they've impressed, they can still improve defensively. They're a Seattle stumble away from taking No. 1.
How they move down: Get complacent, but with Manning playing mistake-free, some opponent will need to force the issue.
What's next: at Cowboys, in what might be an old west shootout with Tony Romo.
MORE: Manning masterful in rout of Eagles
Last week: 3Next
Why they're here: A lot of Tom Brady, a little bit of everything else. The defense has been playing well when it counts, but now must overcome the loss of Vince Wilfork.
How they move up: They're kind of stuck here for a while until Seattle and Denver lose their edge.
How they move down: Keep living dangerously with games that are a little too close for comfort.
What's next: at Bengals, where they should figure to be in another tight one.
MORE: Tom Brady's Patriots on scratching the surface
Last week: 4Next
Why they're here: Early it was the improved defense under Rex Ryan. Of late, it's been Drew Brees and the offense kicking it back into the highest gear we're used to under Sean Payton.
How they move up: Fresh off knocking off another undefeated team (Miami), New Orleans can really pad its resume if it can beat Chicago and New England on the road in consecutive games.
How they move down: If their defense folds against some humming, more balanced offenses in Chicago and New England.
What's next: at Bears, a reunion with former offensive line guru Aaron Kromer.
MORE: Saints' offense as good as any in NFL

Why they're here: The Niners looked more like the reigning NFC champs with their dismantling of the Rams, a team they couldn't beat last season. Now they've had extra time to heal up, head back home and look to roll back above .500.
How they move up: Stick with their true identity under Jim Harbaugh. Power running and hard-hitting defense are critical to their success before Colin Kaepernick does anything.
How they move down: The defense lets up after a much-needed strong performance in St. Louis.
What's next: vs. Texans, a Sunday night showdown of fine 3-4 defenses.
MORE: Week 4 photos
Last week: 11Next
Why they're here: Andy Reid has now gone 3-for-3 against the NFC East as part of his new team's perfect start. The formula is the same, a confident Alex Smith, a dynamic Jamaal Charles and a dominant defense.
How they move up: Just keep winning and impressing. They're on the cusp of the top five now, and if they can rout some more down opponents, watch out.
How they move down: More first-half struggles. They don't want to be in comeback mode in the second half.
What's next: at Tennessee, against another early surprise AFC team.
Last week: 10Next
Why they're here: The Packers took a couple of dents with their tough early schedule with losses to San Francisco and Cincinnati. So Week 4 was a well-timed bye, a chance to regroup before they begin NFC North play.
How they move up: Start playing better defense and turn in complete winning performances against Detroit and Baltimore the next two weeks.
How they move down: Lose their edge at Lambeau and continue their struggle on the road in Week 6.
What's next: vs. Lions, the current first-place team in the division.
Last week: 5Next
Why they're here: The Bears looked like everything was working through their first three games, and then the old shaky Jay Cutler returned in Detroit. Without the big takeaways either, it also exposed their uncharacteristic defensive problems in giving up big plays.
How they move up: Rebound in two home interdivision games with one red-hot NFC team (Saints) and one ice-cold one (Giants).
How they move down: Cutler goes back to being the Cutler that we thought Marc Trestman and a revamped line had caused to change. And if they can't get to other quarterbacks.
What's next: vs. Saints, in a key quarter-pole battle for NFC playoff position.
ROSS TUCKER: No more slack for underachieving QBs
Last week: 16Next
Why they're here: The Lions make the worthy leap after bouncing the Bears and jumping right into another monumental division matchup with the Packers at Lambeau. Reggie Bush and the running game, buoyed by great defensive play up front, has been the story.
How they move up: Before we go back to thinking they are the same old Lions, they need a breakthrough in Week 5 at Green Bay before a tougher-than-it-looks matchup at Cleveland.
How they move down: Look like the same old Lions, the ones who lost at Arizona.
What's next: at Packers, where Matt Stafford must play better vs. Aaron Rodgers.
MORE: Reggie Bush powering Lions' offense
Last week: 14Next
Why they're here: The Colts had the closest thing to a bingo free space with a trip to Jacksonville, a win that kept them in a tie for first in the AFC South with Tennessee.
How they move up: It is right in front of Andrew Luck and friends: An opportunity to beat mighty Seattle at home, which the division rival Texans just couldn't do.
How they move down: It's acceptable if they lose to the Seahawks, but getting pushed around physically like they did in the Miami game would be a big blow to their new pounding style.
What's next: vs. Seahawks, as Luck gets a chance to prove he's the best QB of the 2012 class.
MORE: Unexpected divisional shakeups
Last week: 9Next
Why they're here: The Texans had a couple big comebacks in their first two games, then a blowout loss, and a blown lead. It's been an emotional roller-coaster for Matt Schaub, and there is frustration for J.J. Watt and the defense, too.
How they move up: There's no need to panic, there's plenty of time left, and no one will run away with the AFC South. But they need to get going like division champs soon.
How they move down: They don't handle either West or Midwest well, with San Francisco, St. Louis and Kansas City on the slate before a bye.
What's next: at 49ers, where Schaub can expect to feel more heat from the Niners' D.
MORE: No more slack for Schaub
Last week: 7Next
Why they're here: The Ravens are still finding their way through an offense in transition, and the running game, line and receiving corps all have some issues. Of course, trumping all of that was quarterback Joe Flacco throwing five interceptions in the loss at Buffalo.
How they move up: Lean a little more on the defense and running game to get more settled, and they need to find answers quickly with Miami and Green Bay around the corner.
How they move down: Stay a little too pass happy even when the injuries -- beyond a healthy, speedy, Torrey Smith -- are mounting.
What's next: at Dolphins, a defense that can give their offense more problems.
MORE: Terrell Suggs blames Goodell for blackout
Last week: 8Next
Why they're here: It's hard to figure out the Bengals. They looked great at home vs. Pittsburgh and Green Bay, and then crashed on the road vs. Chicago and Cleveland. They have been more of an inconsistent young bunch than steady contender.
How they move up: They're home again against a marquee opponent, New England. It would be nice if they played up to a top level against an AFC powerhouse and could keep up that momentum.
How they move down: If they keep having head-scratching offensive struggles, despite having players such as A.J. Green and Giovani Bernard flanking Andy Dalton.
What's next: vs. Patriots, when we'll learn just how good they can really be.
Last week: 13Next
Why they're here: The Dolphins rolled out to wins over Cleveland, Indianapolis and Atlanta, but ran into an offensive juggernaut in crazy loud New Orleans.
How they move up: Settle down, and don't let the Saints' performance dwell, which can be tendency for a younger team off a short week.
How they move down: Keep letting Ryan Tannehill get rocked in and out of the pocket. The pass protection remains atrocious, especially at the tackles.
What's next: vs. Ravens, a good home test against the seasoned Super Bowl champions.
Last week: 17Next
Why they're here: Jake Locker sparked the offense, and Gregg Williams has the defense stomping opponents again in his second stint with the team. Unfortunately, they'll need to go without Locker just as he was playing well.
How they move up: Hope for the best with Ryan Fitzpatrick filling in and hope that slumping Chris Johnson can pick up the offensive slack on the ground.
How they move down: Fitzpatrick tries to do too much against the defenses of Kansas City, Seattle and San Francisco the next three weeks, and Johnson doesn't do enough.
What's next: vs. Chiefs, bringing a defense that won't hold back, either.
MORE: Jake Locker won't need surgery, out 3 weeks
Last week: 12Next
Why they're here: The Cowboys looked great against the NFC at home, and suffered two frustrating loss to the AFC West on the road. There are good signs of improvement, but the result is just a .500 record and an early slim lead in a weak NFC East.
How they move up: Show us more consistency and the better ability to win close games. Huge upset potential is looming against Denver.
How they move down: Keep making critical mistakes and giveaways in crucial times. So far, that's been running back Lance Dunbar and rookie wide receiver Terrance Williams.
What's next: vs. Broncos, as they try to rope in and outscore Peyton Manning in Big D.
STEELE: Cowboys what they've always been: so-so
Last week: 19Next
Why they're here: Philip Rivers has been sizzling in the passing game, and it's a good thing, because he's making up for a pass defense that's getting picked apart early.
How they move up: They need to find more of a pass rush without Dwight Freeney, and shore up some things on the back end. More running game support for Rivers would be nice, too.
How they move down: It's important for them to close out games like Dallas and Philadelphia, and not like Houston and Tennessee.
What's next: at Raiders, in the latest of Sunday night late-night games.
MORE: Rivers second only to Peyton Manning
Last week: 15Next
Why they're here: Injuries have decimated their defense, and it's putting a lot of pressure on the offense to execute at high level, of which they have fallen a little short.
How they move up: A lot of players won't heal anytime soon, so they need to keep pushing the issue with their difference makers around Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez.
How they move down: They are in danger of a shocking freefall, and need to get something positive going before a Week 6 bye.
What's next: vs. Jets, a Monday night home game set to get them back on track.
Last week: 28Next
Why they're here: The Browns moved on without Trent Richardson and with Brian Hoyer, and the first thing they do is get back to .500 with impressive victories over Minnesota and Cincinnati.
How they move up: Their schedule has given them two more home games after the Bengals, both winnable (Buffalo, Detroit). In the current AFC North mess, watch out if they get into sole first place early.
How they move down: The Browns have a strong defense, but their offense is getting kind of predictable with Hoyer. They need to keep pushing the right buttons to stay head of fellow middling competition.
What's next: vs. Bills, a prime-time battle for Lake Erie on Thursday night.
Last week: 27Next
Why they're here: So rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel has hung in there, and so has a defense that's been depleted in the secondary. They've been close in every game, and now have a win over the Super Bowl champion Ravens to show for it.
How they move up: They don't have to travel much for Thursday night, and figure to be in another nip-and-tuck defensive-minded game with Cleveland.
How they move down: Manuel has more growing pains as opponents are better prepared for his skills.
What's next: at Browns, the team ranked right above them by SN.
MORE: Spiller's status (ankle) in doubt
Last week: 21Next
Why they're here: The Panthers enjoyed a bye after their shutout home win over the Giants, and there's some hope, with a favorable schedule ahead, they can work back into the NFC wild-card picture.
How they move up: There's a favorable trip to Arizona, back where Cam Newton made his dazzling NFL debut as a rookie in 2011. The key is getting him more comfortable as a passer and runner.
How they move down: They can't keep up their momentum in the traditional running game to help Newton.
What's next: at Cardinals, where they will try to avoid the classic desert trap.
Last week: 18Next
Why they're here: The Eagles flew out of the gate in Week 1, but opponents have caught up to them and lapped them, the latest being the real most exciting offense in the NFL, Denver.
How they move up: The schedule is set up to get them right back to .500, as they play two teams with even worse records than them, the 0-4 Giants and the 0-4 Buccaneers.
How they move down: They pull off the gas now. They're built to go fast and furious under Chip Kelly, and as the frustration builds, it's the worst time to doubt their abilities and play more tentative offense.
What's next: at Giants, when another NFC East team will be further sunk.
VIDEO: Divisional shakeup could last entire season
Last week: 25Next
Why they're here: The Redskins spotted Oakland a 14-0 lead in Week 3, but came back strong with much improved defense and steadier offensive play for the rest of the game.
How they move up: With every week, they hope Robert Griffin III gets a little better. That's what makes a Week 5 bye so beneficial.
How they move down: The Eagles and Cowboys just might fall this week, and that will keep the Redskins from losing any ground in their division.
What's next: at Cowboys, in Week 6.
Last week: 20Next
Why they're here: The Rams have looked awful since their season-opening win over Arizona, as the Falcons, Cowboys and 49ers have all lit up their defense. Now Sam Bradford is slumping again.
How they move up: They need to find a semblance of the running game, and play with more force and attitude defensively, which we saw all of last season.
How they move down: Keep having mental lapses and physical mistakes at a high level.
What's next: vs. Jaguars, and team that should provide a home confidence booster.
Last week: 26Next
Why they're here: It was another ugly offensive performance, but the Buccaneers were worse on that side of the ball, allowing the Cardinals to rally and escape with a second win.
How they move up: They need Carson Palmer playing much better, like he did down the stretch in Tampa. So far, the Bruce Arians' passing offense isn't living up to its billing.
How they move down: If they don't find a spark for Palmer in the running game, and that means turning to Andre Ellington for a bigger role sooner rather than later.
What's next: vs. Panthers, as their stout run defense will try to slow down a good running team.
Last week: 23Next
Why they're here: The Jets are pretty much like the Bills. Inconsistent rookie quarterback Geno Smith is paired with a better defense when Smith isn't turning over the ball at an alarming rate.
How they move up: Even with the wide receiver injuries, they need to let Smith loose and take their chances. There's no point even thinking about a QB change, and there's nothing to lose with taking the reins of Smith.
How they move down: If they don't stick by Smith and let rumblings of trying Matt Simms get into his head.
What's next: at Falcons, where their pass defense will be stretched to the limit.
Last week: 29Next
Why they're here: The Vikings slide up a couple of spots thanks to breaking through their first win in London, holding off the winless Steelers. Sure, Matt Cassel was their quarterback, but the running game and run after catch had a lot more to do with it.
How they move up: Figure out whether Cassel or Christian Ponder (ribs) is their quarterback for good, and stick with it. The controversy is even worse than the potential of either player in their offense.
How they move down: They're off, so they'll hope a couple of teams behind them don't win.
What's next: vs. Panthers, in Week 6.
Last week: 22Next
Why they're here: Another week, another dismal performance in which they were overwhelmed up front offensively and ripped on the back end defensively. This time, it was major problems against a strong Kansas City team on the road.
How they move up: Somehow piece together enough respectable play to get a win. They're the Giants. They need to live up to the Big Blue name, now.
How they move down: More offensive line issues and if they don't clean up their sloppiness with turnovers and special teams. Can Tom Coughlin get any redder?
What's next: vs. Eagles, a reeling team against which they can rebound big.
ROSS TUCKER: Don't give Eli Manning any slack
Last week: 24Next
Why they're here: The Steelers stunk it up again with turnovers and a lack of impact defensive plays in London, with Ben Roethlisberger's big passes downfield providing a little cosmetic coverup.
How they move up: Mike Tomlin, Roethlisberger and the rest of the team need to find some answers during the bye. They have to, right, because they have had none.
How they move down: If Roethlisberger's hits catch up with him again during a key recovery week.
What's next: at Jets, in Week 6.
IYER: This isn't 'Steelers' football'
Last week: 30Next
Why they're here: The Raiders limped through a game (see Terrelle Pryor out, Darren McFadden and Marcel Reece hurting) despite a chance to knock off Washington. They only have a win over Jacksonville to show for better-than-record efforts.
How they move up: Oakland needs the versatility Pryor provides over Matt Flynn, and maybe Rashad Jennings can spark their running game a bit.
How they move down: Fall in tough adjusted home game (8:35 p.m. PT) on Sunday night.
What's next: vs. Chargers, with last place in the strong AFC West on the line.
Last week: 31Next
Why they're here: They changed quarterbacks from Josh Freeman to Mike Glennon, but the results were the same: A close loss (vs. Arizona) where the offense did nothing for most of the game.
How they move up: It will be difficult as long as their QB and running back (looking at you, underachieving Doug Martin) sputter.
How they move down: If Greg Schiano loses it more than he already has, which is possible.
What's next: Week 6 vs. Philadelphia
MORE: Josh Freeman drama
Last week: 32
Why they're here: You've seen how they've played, right? They've been outscored 129-31, the latest a 37-3 home killing by the Colts.
How they move up: Just maybe, Justin Blackmon will wake up Blaine Gabbert and the offense a bit. Then again, he may make them only a little less anemic.
What's next: at Rams, a homecoming for Gabbert.

People leave the scene, on December 14, 2012, from the aftermath of a school shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that brought police swarming into the leafy neighborhood, while other area schools were put under lock-down, police and local media said. At least 26 people, including 20 young children, were killed when a gunman assaulted a US primary school on Friday and another body was found dead at a second linked crime scene, police said. Police spokesman Lieutenant Paul Vance told reporters that the attacker killed 20 children and six adults, including someone that he lived with, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The gunman also died at the scene, and a 28th body was found elsewhere. - AFP PHOTO / Don EMMERT (Photo credit should read DON EMMERT/AFP/Getty Images)

Ok - so PLEASE help me understand. I kept quiet all day, but this has been bugging me. I was one of the lucky ones who saw the now infamous vote last night at the DNC wherein they amended their party platform. I am genuinely asking for responses on this.
With a room full of delegates, the vote was clear to suspend convention rules for the motion to amend by 2/3 (if you didn't see it, you can clearly hear like 3 idiots yell "nay" - the rest were fine to hear the proposed amendments - AMAZING politics - and I mean that genuinely. I am glued to stuff like that). Then, after Villaraigosa asked for the second vote to amend the party's platform after the amendments were stated out loud and shown on screen, it was CLEARLY not a 2/3 vote. He stopped himself, and with frustration in his voice, I assume he thought the voters didn't realize their mistake. So, in mid-sentence, he asked a second time. CLEARLY again, not a 2/3 majority. I would say safely 50/50, arguably the nay's had a SLIGHT majority. Villaraigosa CLEARLY hears that they don't have the majority. And I believe if it were not for what happens next, he would've not amended the platform. But a lady comes up stage, bleeding into the mic the words, "....let them do what they are going to do..." then Villaraigosa holds a THIRD vote. Clearly not the majority AGAIN. I am sorry - can any democrat, republican, or independent (or whatever party) tell me that was a majority? Seriously...
Now Clinton did a great job using the word Arithmetic... what happened to using arithmetic in this case? 2/3 is a majority - not half - a clear majority. Rules state if it is undetermined, they would go to a written vote. Obviously, that would take time, and would bleed into Clinton's time, so of course, it was erroneously amended amidst the boos and jeers. In addition, this was a crucial change to get Obama "in the clear" from have no mention of God in their platform, and not recognizing Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel. Didn't he think of this earlier?
Here is my question - what happened to the American way? This is an amazing show of our American politics, and no sooner was I impressed and in awe of our system AND the DNC as a whole (and I was learning something I didn't know) the Democratic chair (Villaraigosa) clearly was in the wrong, and I would even say he wasn't fully to blame. There was an 'intervention' to do a third vote, and immediately pass the amendment despite him clearly not agreeing it was majority.
Why are so many ignoring this? 1) This is a blatant disregard for the American political system. 2) The VOICE of the people, the state delegates representing the people of their respective states, CLEARLY did not agree on amending their platform. I am not saying they should have not amended it, I am saying why didn't they follow the rules? Why did they disregard the delegates present, and force through an amendment (which I agree they should have passed - but fairly) and not listen to those nay-voters.
I'd love to understand this, and especially why the media is largely ignoring the root of all of this.

FloVENT CFD Software Used in Design of First Illinois University Residence to Achieve LEED Gold Status
November 2007
Engineers at Environmental Systems Design, Inc. (ESD) used Flomerics' FloVENT computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to verify the design of the first university residence hall in Illinois to obtain a Certified Gold Level rating under the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design® (LEED) green building system. ESD used the relatively new displacement ventilation approach in their mechanical design of Saint Xavier University's new $9 million, 37,000 square foot Arthur Rubloff Hall in order to reduce energy consumption. "The simulation evaluated the comfort of the building under a wide range of conditions and demonstrated that the new design, which uses displacement ventilation would not only be energy efficient but also comfortable and healthy," said James Vallort, an ESD engineer.
"Displacement ventilation provides energy savings by concentrating cooling in the areas occupied by people and allowing the other areas of the building to be warmer," Vallort said. "The savings come from only having the ventilation system deliver air in the neighborhood of 65F and also from operating the diffuser fans at a much lower speed." The owner liked the energy savings provided by the displacement ventilation approach but wanted to be sure it could achieve a high level of comfort and indoor environmental quality. ESD addressed these concerns by simulating the operation of the displacement ventilation system.
ESD engineers used the Diffuser SmartPart (included with FloVENT) to create compact models of the diffusers that closely match the performance of the diffusers without having to model their geometry in detail. The extract units in the ceiling, consisting of rings near the outer edges of the walls, were modeled using another FloVENT SmartPart called a "Fixed Flow Device".
"The results of the simulation clearly show the displacement ventilation system working as intended," said Aliza Skolnik, another ESD engineer. "The temperature plots across a vertical plane of the building show how temperatures remain comfortable in the lower, occupied, part of the room, with significantly higher temperatures above the levels occupied by people. The airflow predictions show air coming out of the diffuser units, gaining body heat, and then rising under natural buoyancy forces through the extract units in the ceiling. The simulation results helped the building owner feel comfortable with the displacement ventilation concept, and verified the significant energy savings achieved by this method."
When the building was completed, ESD engineers performed a variety of tests as part of the commissioning process. These included personal comfort tests and temperature measurements. "The tests showed that the actual temperatures matched the simulation predictions within +/- 1F," Vallort said. "More importantly, they showed that people in the rooms were comfortable under a wide range of conditions. The result is that Arthur Rubloff Hall is the first university residence hall in Illinois to obtain a Certified Gold Level rating under the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design® (LEED) green building system and provides 30% energy savings compared to traditional designs."

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Farmington Democrats celebrate inauguration
Monday, January 21, 2013
FARMINGTON — Those who couldn't make it to Washington, D.C. for the inaugural celebrations of President Barack Obama's second term got to celebrate the historic event in a more intimate setting on Sunday.
"It's about hope," said Grossman. "We've got some troubles in this country ... but I think he's a president who did, and still can, offer us hope." Grossman said there is still work to be done when it comes to issues of economy, environment, and health care. He said that while it was tempting to stay home and watch the Patriots' game Sunday evening, the president's inauguration is an important event to celebrate. Krasner said that some in attendance did leave some time after the event started, in order to go home and watch the football game. During the Inaugural Ball, participants could also enter a raffle with a chance to win a romantic overnight stay at the Governor's Inn in Rochester.

Christian Louboutin
Iconic shoe designer Christian Louboutin needs little introduction. For Fall '14 NET-A-PORTER's Senior Buyer Ida Petersson says, "we are head over heels in love with the over-the-knee boots." Slouchy western-style suede pairs are a cool way to wear the trend – but we're also coveting vertiginous point-toe versions.
