Urggg!!! This morning I realized that I didn't have everything I needed to write. Oh sure, I had my computer, and my notes, and my Peep (she's the yellow plush bunny who's my muse), but I was out of chocolate!!! So that meant everything had to stop until I could stock up.
Now, I know it may sound weird that an author needs chocolate to write, but it's true! At least it is for me. Why? Because it fuels my ideas and creativity. Seriously. There's something in chocolate that makes people feel good. I know this is true. I looked it up. It's scientific.
Okay, okay, okay . . . I also have to have chocolate because I love it. But it makes sense, doesn't it. That if you're happy (like after eating chocolate), you feel better . . . and if you feel better, then you are more creative . . . and if you are more creative, you can write a better book!
So it was off to the store to get my essential writing supplies. See's Candies, my fave place for chocolates, was too far away, so I went to the grocery store. Hmmm . . . Milky Way? Love that caramel. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup? Totally yummy. In the end, I picked Hershey's Kisses. Can't go wrong with those!
Okay, then. It's back to working on my book . . . right after I eat my chocolate!
What about all you writers out there? What is your favorite thing to snack on while you're writing? Let me know in the Comments!

But that's old news. I never even watched the first season. Well, I mean I saw like twenty minutes of episode 8, but I hadn't seen anything before it so I never watched any more of it.
Actually I just wanted an excuse to talk about the season premiere of Season 2. (And season 2 in general as it unfolds) Are they always commercial free? That'd be a cool gimmick to have a different sponsor every week so you could actually have a WHOLE hour.
Anyway, who watched it? Discuss.

Six winning entries were selected to be featured on the University website, submitted by:
• Sophomore Gray Holubar
• Freshman Arjun Jain
• Freshman Samuel Lazerwitz
• Graduate student Matthew Milliner
• Sophomore Sofia Quinodoz
• Graduate student Arman Suleimenov
Featured Story
Photo contest: 'How I spent my summer vacation'
Posted September 28, 2010; 04:37 p.m.
As Princeton students returned to campus for the fall, the University sponsored a photo contest on Facebook asking for inspiring, deep, artistic, illustrative or just plain funny images to commemorate the summer.
The contest was open to undergraduate students from the classes of 2010 through 2014 and graduate students. Some entries reflect the many opportunities available to Princeton students to travel and study overseas, and to engage in intensive research projects in their fields. Other entries depict students' summer jobs and activities during their time away from the Princeton campus -- even just spending quality time with pets.
Matthew Milliner, a graduate student in the Department of Art and Archaeology, was part of a group of graduate and undergraduate students, sponsored by the Program in Hellenic Studies, who spent two weeks studying at the Mount Menoikeion convent in northern Greece. In this photo, visitors to the convent are greeted by a rainbow.
Arman Suleimenov, a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science, uses his trusty Japanese phrasebook to order sushi in Tokyo.
Sophomore Gray Holubar, who spent the summer as a camp counselor, enjoys a visit from two butterflies.
Freshman Arjun Jain encounters a mountain gorilla while hiking in Rwanda over the summer.
With the Office of Religious Life, sophomore Sofia Quinodoz traveled to Nicaragua and Honduras for two weeks at the end of the summer, learning about the religious, social and political situations in both countries. This photo depicts a quiet moment in Zacate Grande, Honduras, where community members are engaged in a land dispute with a wealthy landowner.

Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital to offer evening informational workshop, 'Preventing Eye Disorders for People with Diabetes'
Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital to offer evening informational workshop, 'Preventing Eye Disorders for People with Diabetes'
December 17 program conducted by Ophthalmologist Mandes R. Kates, MD, Ph.D.
WARWICK – (November 30) Eye care is essential for people with diabetes.
This is the message Ophthalmologist Dr. Mandes R. Kates will present to adults attending the regular monthly meeting of "Diabetes in Check" on Monday, December 17. The support group, open to anyone with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, is sponsored by the Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital.
"Diabetes in Check," will meet from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the hospital's second-floor conference room. Everyone is invited to attend this important educational program geared toward all adults with diabetes and their families.
According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people between the age of 20 and 74. Uncontrolled blood sugars place one at higher risk for conditions of the eye such as corneal damage, retinal damage and glaucoma, all of which can lead to blindness.
"We're pleased to have Dr. Kates offer this important and informative presentation on early detection and prevention of eye disorders caused by diabetes," said Certified Diabetes Educator Lourdes Braadt, RN. "The best ways of prevent visual problems are keeping blood sugars under control and having regular checkups with your ophthalmologist."
Braadt and St. Anthony Community Hospital Lead Dietician Janine Killeen RD, CDE are also available at "Diabetes in Check" sessions to answer any questions
The Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital offers a series of classes for all patients who have been recently diagnosed with diabetes or those who demonstrate poorly controlled diets. During group or individual sessions, clinical instructors offer initial assessment, emotional support and will seek to help patients achieve a better understanding of the disease. They will show their patients how to live a normal and productive life with diabetes and how to control the disease through diet and exercise.
Dr. Kates, a Board Certified Ophthalmologist associated with St. Anthony Community Hospital, graduated Cum Laude from Princeton University and went on to earn a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Yale University. He completed his medical education at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and then interned in General Surgery at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. He performed his residency in Ophthalmology at Mount Sinai Medical Center and was offered a Fellowship in Orbit and Ocuplastic Surgery at the Harkness Eye Institute in New York City.
Dr. Kates is a member of Eye Physicians of Orange County with offices at 8 Forester Avenue in Warwick, NY, 1 Hatfield Lane in Goshen, NY and 845 Route 17M in Monroe, NY.
All adults with diabetes and their caregivers are urged to attend the December 17 "Diabetes in Check" meeting. Seating is limited and all those planning to attend are asked to reserve a place as soon as possible by calling 845-987-5168.
For more information about the Center for Diabetes Education, call 845-987-5168 or visit bschs.bonsecours.com.

text: George we need more people like you out there to put on classes on waterfowl ID and hunting ethics. To many of them watch these hunting shows and then want to go out there and shoot anything that flies. I don't start shooting until it's light enough to clearly ID what I'm shooting even if I have to wait a half hour or more after legal shooting time. I also don't want the birds to see the muzzle flash and then they get spooked about flying around cover.

why can't the LAB have a dilute gene? IS not the LAB from the st john's dog or the Newfoundland like the Chesapeake Bay retriever? Chesapeakes have had ASH or the dilute brown historically for a long period of time. Newfoundland also have had dilute browns.
That's completely, and utterly irrelevant.
The Labrador Retriever, is it's OWN breed today. And it's a breed that is not SUPPOSED TO have any recessive d's, anywhere in any of the dogs being registered with the AKC.
They are supposed to ALL be gone.
Just like there is not supposed to be any non-dilute Weimaraners, there are not supposed to be any dilute Labs.
The Weimaraner breed got rid of all the big D's. The Labrador breed got rid of all the little d's.
That was really hard to do.
Harder in Labs, because dilution is the recessive expression of what's in the D locus.
These "Silver Lab" breeders are doing the exact opposite of what they are SUPPOSED TO do, when their lines express dilution.
Instead of striving to stop it's spread, they are INTENTIONALLY reproducing it.
One could say these "field Lab" breeders are doing the exact opposite of what they are SUPPOSED TO do, when their lines express out of standard traits.
Instead of striving to stop it's spread, they are INTENTIONALLY reproducing it.
I don't know how many times I have read excuses here as to why it is just fine for field breeders to breed completely out of standard dogs because they love to retrieve more than breathe. It seems to me the kettle is calling the pot black....which some here claim is the only true Labrador color. I suppose that clears it up! We should all breed for and run fire-breathing, carnivorous black gazelles with a killer drive for retrieving.

Reports from the Associated Press and CanesInsider.com stated earlier in January that the NCAA was on the verge of issuing UM with a Notice of Allegations. However, that has since been delayed as the Association and president Mark Emmert will not move forward with a Notice of Allegations against Miami until all the facts surrounding this issue are known.
One of those facts has just reportedly come to light. Dennis Dodd of CBSSports reports that NCAA vice president of enforcement, Julie Roe Lach, approved a payment to Shapiros attorney, Maria Elena Perez, in order to obtain information in the UM investigation. The report states that Lach discussed and approved the disbursement of at least $20,000″ in budgeting to Perez for legal fees and expenses in October and November, 2011. Per the report, Perez was paid to depose two people connected to Shapiro in a bankruptcy proceeding in Dec., 2011.
Here is a portion of the NCAAs original press release on the improper conduct:
Former NCAA enforcement staff members worked with the criminal defense attorney for Nevin Shapiro to improperly obtain information for the purposes of the NCAA investigation through a bankruptcy proceeding that did not involve the NCAA.
As it does not have subpoena power, the NCAA does not have the authority to compel testimony through procedures outside of its enforcement program. Through bankruptcy proceedings, enforcement staff gained information for the investigation that would not have been accessible otherwise.
Lach did not directly respond to messages sent by CBS, and the NCAA refused to comment further.
If true, this would further damage the reputation of the NCAA and their investigation of Miami, and could potentially result in legal ramifications of its own. The program has already self-imposed two bowl bans in an effort to lessen the blow of possible NCAA sanctions. However, it has not self-imposed other punitive measures, such as scholarship reductions.
Shapiro is currently serving a 20-year sentence for orchestrating a roughly $1 billion Ponzi scheme.

Texas may add legal protection for gay teens
AUSTIN, Texas — Parents of gay teens urged Texas lawmakers to give their children the same legal protections heterosexual children have when it comes to prosecuting sex crimes
Texas laws governing crimes of indecency with a child cover sexual contact with minors under the age of 17. They include a "Romeo and Juliet" legal defense if the couple is older than 14, in a consensual relationship and within three years of each other.
But the law also says the couple must be of the "opposite sex." Two bills in the Legislature would change the law to also cover homosexual teens.
On Tuesday, parents of gay teens testified in legislative hearings their children should be treated equal under the law. Gay rights advocates call the distinction in the current law unfair and discriminatory.

Law Start Program Gives Admitted Students an Edge
Loyola Law School launched the new Law Start program this year to give admitted students an early dose of skills essential for success in law school and practice. The daylong program featured a mock contracts lecture and a case-briefing session, which provided critical feedback to students on their briefs. Other sessions featured the Law School's bar preparation and academic success programs, clinics, pro bono and externship opportunities, and Concentrations.
"The program was designed to give the students a head start to skills training and success in law school," said Jean Boylan, Associate Dean for Clinical Programs and Experiential Learning. Boylan spoke at Law Start about the school's clinics, which include the Center for Juvenile Law & Policy, Center for Conflict Resolution, Hobbs District Attorney Clinic, Home Base Immigration Clinic and Project for the Innocent, among many others.
One ancillary perk of Law Start was the opportunity to meet with a range of law professors, including Dean Victor Gold, well before classes start – a fact that was not lost on attendees. "What I found to be most beneficial about the Law Start program was being able to personally speak to some of the professors and ask them any kind of questions I had," said Adam Byrne, who will be a first-year student in the fall.
Professor Sean Scott presented the mock lecture on Syester v. Banta, a seminal contracts case dealing with misrepresentation. The case involved an elderly woman who sued a dance studio after she paid $29,174.30 (in 1955 dollars) to a dance studio on the promise that it could transform her into a professional dancer.
"What surprised me about the mock lecture was how much fun I had. The contract case we went over was perfect because not only was it interesting, but it also gave an insightful look into legal theory," said Byrne. "I now have a much better idea of what to look out for when reading through a case."
Clinical Professors Cindy Archer, Director of Lawyering Skills, and Gary Craig, Director of Concentrations, provided case-briefing analysis. Clinical Professor Sande Buhai, Director of the Public Interest Department, explained options for pro bono and externship work. And Clinical Professor Susan Bakhshian, Director of Academic Success and Bar Programs, discussed Loyola's Early Bar Prep Program, ongoing academic skills workshops and other offerings.

New Fights Added to K-1 MAX Final 8, December 15
- Written by Rian Scalia
With K-1 definitely being worse for wear right now, any type of buzz for their MAX Final 8 event on December 15 in Athens, Greece is nonexistent, as if it's not even happening. There's no news or anything coming from K-1 themselves, which isn't surprising considering that the exact same thing happened in the lead up to the WGP Final 16 in October. However, there have been a few new match-ups added to the card.
Abraham Roqueni will fight Xu Yan in a reserve fight for the 70kg tournament that takes place on the event. Roqueni and Yan both lost in the Final 16, to Andy Souwer and Yasuhiro Kido respectively.
Another match-up added is Valdet Gashi vs. Salah Abdelsalam. Salah just won at Muay Thai in America this past weekend against fellow K-1 participant Justin Greskiewicz. Along with that in the super fight category, two Turks will fight as Erkan Varol faces Sami Akin.
As for the weights of the two super fights, I'm guessing 70kg but we don't know for sure because the news isn't coming from K-1.

By The Associated Press
CORINTH, Miss. (AP) — The Corinth Board of Aldermen has appointed Frank Davis to the city school board and nominated Sharon Franks for a joint city-county seat on the arena board.
For Crossroads Arena, the nomination of Franks follows the recent death of her husband, Joe Franks. If the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors agrees on the appointment of Franks, she will complete the term, which runs through 2017.
The Daily Corinthian reports (http://bit.ly/XJWgjN ) that Davis' appointment to the Corinth School District Board of Trustees follows notice by trustee Tom Rogers that he did not wish to be reappointed. His term expires in March.

The Philippine Islands are located in Southeastern Asia, archipelago between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea, east of Vietnam. The Philippine Islands became a Spanish colony during the 16th century; they were ceded to the US in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. In 1935 the Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth.

Life for a Child Support
Commenced 2001
We commenced supporting 15 of the most needy children with Type 1 diabetes through the three-referral centres in Manila in 2001. These centres are:
- Philippine General Hospital / University of the Philippines, which receives referrals from all over the country.
- The Philippine Center for Diabetes Education - a unique clinic situated within the prestigious private Makati Medical Center, that cares not only for wealthier families but also many children and adults from impoverished situations.
- The Institute for the Study of Diabetes at the University of East Ramon Magsaysay, which manages many poor patients, and educates health professionals.
The number of children supported has increased to 31 in 2009. The three centres looking after these children provide expert care and teaching but struggle to provide adequate supplies: insulin, blood glucose meters and test strips, urine strips, HbA1c tests, syringes and needles – families need to purchase these. Some families can manage this, others cannot. The program helps those families with limited resources, so that they have the necessary equipment to allow them to manage their diabetes. The children are flourishing with some of them expressing their appreciation through cards and letters.

Create restaurant-style spring rolls with this recipe—perfect for an Asian dinner or party appetizer.
If you've never made spring rolls before, you'll get a feel for how long to dip the rice paper wrappers, as you make a few. Dipping the wrappers for too short a time means they won't bend and roll easily around the filling; too long and they become a sticky, wrinkle up and won't lay flat for filling. As the water cools, they will require a few more seconds to soak to soften them.
Wear gloves when cutting the chile to prevent the capsaicin (the chemical which makes chiles have their heat) from burning your fingers.

Hey everyone,
Some pictures of my new 870 w/Burris FF3. Spent the afternoon putting the FF3 on the gun, deep cleaning the barrel, sighting the gun, and test firing at 40 yards. The only new information is the Redfield two piece bases that I used. Actually only used one piece of the Redfield base, The Burris FF3 was ordered with a Picatinny Mount which attached cleanly to the Redfield Base. It took two shots to zero and then the test fire at 40 yards with the Rem Choke and a SSX .643 choke. I still need to fine tune using some different diameter chokes later. That's been my day... a real rush. I will say the 870 slaps a little harder than my Benelli SV, but I love the feel of the 870 w/FF3. The 23 inch barrel handles nicely. I really like this setup and using one piece of the Redfield Base makes for clean lines on the gun. Attached are some pictures. Trigger pull seems a little rough so I may have to get a gunsmith to work on that before next season. Can't wait until next season.

Our moist and flavorful Rosemary Orange Roasted Turkey Breast is the perfect union of sweet and savory.
You can use sage or thyme instead of the rosemary, or try a combination of herbs.
If the turkey skin becomes too dark while roasting, cover loosely with foil.
If you have an instant-read thermometer, you can use that to check the turkey's doneness toward the end of roasting time rather than inserting an ovenproof thermometer before putting the turkey in the oven.

Cutter: An incomplete is a totally awesome grade after four years
posted at 12:01 pm on September 4, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
We've been waiting for the Barack Obama re-election campaign to come up with a new slogan ever since they added a period to "FORWARD." If the last 24 hours are any indication, the new slogan is either "INCOMPLETE" or possibly "GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE." After Barack Obama gave himself an "incomplete" on the economy in a Colorado Springs TV news interview last night, ABC's Jake Tapper asks Team Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter whether that "cut[s] it" as an answer. Absolutely, Cutter responds:
TAPPER: "So President Obama was asked recently about the grade he would give himself. And once again he gave himself an incomplete. It's been four years. Does that answer cut it? An incomplete after a full term?"
CUTTER: "Yeah, it does, because, you know, once again I'll remind you of what life was like when he took office. 800,000 jobs were lost in that month alone. 3.5 million in the 6 months prior. And, you know, pretty quickly he was able to turn job loss into job growth. But when he's saying incomplete, it means a number of different things. One: we're on a path forward. You know, we're on our way up. And there is a lot more that he wants to get done. He's not done yet."
We're moving forward? Really? Unemployment has been above 8% since before the recovery began, and we've only averaged an additional 66,000 jobs per months since — far below the level needed to keep up with population growth. Once again, here's the latest from the BLS on the civilian participation rate, which started at 65.7% when Obama took office and was at the same level when the recovery began in June 2009 — but has plunged ever since, to a 30-year low:
Cutter says, "He's not done yet." That's what keeps many of us awake at night.

Mattel shouldn't have announced it, I was thinking about buying the Nightwing rerelease that's packed with Clayface and Catwoman (assuming I had ever found the wave).
Definitely hoping they're both new sculpts, although they would even be fine with modification - though the Nightwing headsculpt that was on the blue/yellow version was better. Wonder what the variants will be, maybe Stewart as Green Lantern and Grayson as Robin?
Here's hoping it goes: wave 4 - Wonder Woman, wave 5 - Martian Manhunter, wave 6 - the Flash. Though, that would mean Flash wouldn't be out until 2009. >_<

Malkiel, masters to discuss residential colleges, Feb. 10
Posted February 7, 2006; 06:20 p.m.
Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel and two college masters will lead a discussion on the new four-year residential college system from 8 to 10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, in the Chancellor Green Rotunda.
Malkiel will make a presentation and answer questions along with Antoine Kahn, master of Mathey College, and Harvey Rosen, designated master of the new Whitman College.
Because the size of Princeton's undergraduate student body is being increased by 500 students by 2012, the University is in the process of enhancing the residential college system to better serve students as well as to provide them with more options.
The system currently includes five two-year colleges that are the center of residential life and an important focus of academic activities for freshmen and sophomores. The new plan, created by faculty, students and administrators, establishes three four-year residential colleges and pairs them with three two-year residential colleges.
The new college system begins in fall 2007 with the opening
of Whitman College and the conversion of Mathey College into a
four-year college. Butler College will become a four-year college in
fall 2009 after many of the existing Butler dormitories have been torn
down and replaced with new construction.
The discussion is being hosted by the class of 2009 and is open to all members of the University community. Refreshments will be served.

The Invisible People Who Take our Trash "Away"

Ever gotten stuck behind a garbage truck? Or heard one banging against a dumpster in the middle of the night? I'd guess that for most of us, these inconveniences/disturbances are among the few times we give any thought to the people who deal with our waste after we throw it "away."

Dear citizens of Washington County,
I am retiring after 22 years of law enforcement. I would like to see someone in the sheriff's office to continue the services I have provided.
That is why I am supporting Jerry Pinkston as our sheriff of Washington County.
Jerry began working for the sheriff's office in 2009 as a court security officer until he was hired as a deputy sheriff in June 2010.
Dear editor,
I always enjoy reading Ken Begley's columns. In regard to his article "Capitalism vs. Government," he talks about the relative lack of efficiency of the public vs. private sector. Of course, the marketplace rules, in regard to the private sector. But, the way government is supposed to work is that people are sufficiently interested/informed to vote in the best public officials and vote out the others.
Dear editor,
I am writing this letter to the citizens of Washington County who reside in magistrate District 3. My husband, Mark Wilkerson, is running for this position because he believes he can do a good job for the people of this county.
He has always been a hard worker. He was a home builder for more than 35 years until some back issues forced him to stop. He believes in not "burning daylight."
Dear editor,
Most Kentuckians overwhelmingly regard themselves as Christian and pro-life. So why did our legislators in committee again this session vote down Senate Bill 3 requiring face-to-face consultation 24 hours in advance of, and House Bill 575 and Senate Bill 8, which would have mandated an ultrasound before an abortion. These three bills would give women better understanding of the procedure and promote "informed consent" before they decide whether to terminate a pregnancy.
Dear Editor,
I recently encountered a selfless, anonymous person and had to let everyone, especially the people of Springfield, know that there are Good Samaritans everywhere among us.
I recently visited a friend in Springfield to help him run an errand that he could not afford to do himself. I also didn't know for sure if I had enough gas to get from my home (Lebanon) to Springfield and back, as I am currently broke and unemployed.
Dear Editor:
As distraught landowners along the proposed route for the Bluegrass hazardous liquids Pipeline, we wish to express our dismay upon finding stakes on our property on Sunday, February 16. On two occasions, we have adamantly told the pipeline reps that we said "No" to the pipeline and did not want them on our property.
Dear Editor:
I was very glad to see the Washington County archery team finally get some recognition as a sport in the "On target" article in the Feb. 19 issue of The Springfield Sun. Mr. John Overby did a fine job on the article and photos.
I think Coach Jeff Grigsby does an awesome job with these kids and I know that they have been trying to recruit more kids to be a part of this team, but that is hard to do when archery is not recognized as a sport like football, basketball, volleyball, etc. are.
Dear Editor:
The annual meeting of the local chapter of the American Red Cross serving Nelson, Marion and Washington Counties will be held on Monday, June 24, 2013.
Dear Editor,
My wife and I decided to stop smoking a few years back. Because cigarettes had gotten so expensive and people were putting up 'no smoking' signs everywhere, such as in the stores, homes, cars, etc. People that didn't smoke would give us the 'shame on you' look.

The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is one of the best known and most successful invasive species
Invasive Species
Student Exploration
Where'd You Come From?
Invasive species are well known for the changes they cause in ecosystems. A few dramatic cases like the Cane Toad (Bufo marinus) in Australia or the Brown Tree Snake (Boiga irregularis) in Guam have greatly influenced people's opinion of invasive species, creating images of marauding invasive species callously driving native species to extinction. However, the real story is a bit different. Every day up to 10,000 species are transported around the world into new ecosystems. Think about this for a second, 10,000 species per day. Have you heard of 10,000 invasive species? No, the truth is that ecosystems are both complex and resilient. Most species transported into ecosystems can't compete with the natives who grew up in that ecosystem. Natural selection gives the native species an edge. Make no mistake, there are exceptions, and their effects both ecologically and economically can be devastating, but they are the exception and not the rule. For a species to be a successful invader it needs to have an edge, like a chemical defense or life history trait which is unknown in the system it invades and allows it to dominate. Find out more about some species which have these traits, and what researchers are learning about them.

Bearden expert speaks at The Hyde
Romare Bearden Expert Speaks at The Hyde
On Sunday, October 21, 2012 at 2pm, Dr. Jo-Ann Graham will discuss abstract expressionism and the African American artist at The Hyde Collection in conjunction with the Museum's current exhibition From Process to Print: Graphic Works by Romare Bearden, now through January 6, 2013.
Dr. Graham is former head of humanities at The City University of New York and associate of the Cinque Art Gallery, NYC, co-founded by Romare Bearden. This presentation, which is free and open to the public, explores the role of the African American artist in the historic and contemporary world of abstract painting. It is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities.
From Process to Print: Graphic Works by Romare Bearden presents over seventy-five lithographs, etchings, collagraphs, collagraph plates, screen prints, drypoints, monoprints, and engravings, all created over a span of thirty years. Together they demonstrate how Romare Bearden (1911-1988), considered one of America's most important and inventive artists experimented, innovated, and collaborated on his journey toward mastery of the print medium.
The exhibition was organized by the Romare Bearden Foundation, New York, New York. Exhibition tour organization and management by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, California. A full color 140-page catalogue accompanies the exhibition.

The Post-Crash Party Continues
by Bill Bonner
London, England
Gold took off yesterday...closing at $1020. Here at The Daily Reckoning, we're impressed. But we're not that impressed. Gold, of course, is half of our Trade of the Decade, which we announced almost 10 years ago. We're bullish on the metal...have been for a very long time. But recent comments in this space have made readers wonder what the Hell is going on...so we will spend a few minutes clarifying.
First, we hope you bought gold many years ago. That would make it simpler. Then, we could say: hold! Gold is an antidote to paper. There is so much paper...and so much more apparently on the way...that the gold play seems like a winner. It's a bet that the money system that has been around since August '71 is going to fall apart.
We still think that is a good bet. Our Trade of the Decade remains. Buy gold on dips; sell stocks on rallies. We've done well with this trade; we'll stick with it a bit longer.
But what if you don't own gold? The yellow stuff is now over $1,000. In fact, it looks like $1,000 could be a new support level for the metal - with most of the support coming from the Chinese. China has relatively little gold in its central bank. It must see what we see - the weakness of the dollar and of the dollar-reserve monetary system. It must worry about the value of the $2 trillion or so it has in dollars. It must also wonder how it is going to run its economy if the dollar falls apart. American buyers were its consumers of first and last resort. To whom will China sell if its most important customers' money becomes worthless?
Recent comments by a group of Chinese officials make it clear that they are thinking of these things...and that they have decided to add more gold to their reserves. In fact, all the central banks have become net buyers. No more selling off gold reserves. That is seen as a mug's game - which it is. Replacing gold with paper? C'mon, what were they thinking?
So China is a buyer. Trouble is, it has to be a discreet buyer. It has too much money. It could cause the price to skyrocket overnight. Then, it would be paying too much. So, perhaps it does what we do - China buys on dips! For example, the order may have gone out: buy gold whenever the price goes below $1,000.
We don't know what their buying strategy is...but the Chinese are probably going to be big buyers over the next few years.
Should you buy along with the Chinese? Should you compete with the Chinese for each ounce of gold that comes on the market?
Good question. Unfortunately, we don't have a good answer. So let's try a different question: Is gold going up or down?
The answer to that is simpler: gold is going up...then down...then up again. It is going up because the feds - including the feds in China - are encouraging speculation. Then, it is going down when the next phase of the bear market reasserts itself and the speculators run for cover. Then, it is going back up...much farther and faster...when the Fed becomes desperate and finally throw caution - and dollars - to the wind. We're confident this last stage will arrive. Our hesitation is that it will take much longer than we expect. Gold may rise in a deflation...but it soars in a period of inflation. That period could be a long way off.
The feds can't revive the consumer economy. Despite all you read...the consumer economy is probably going to limp along for many years. No boom in consumer spending = no inflation.
"US retail sales surge as economy strengthens," announces a Reuters' headline. Don't believe it. Between the seasonal adjustments and the feds' giveaways the retail sales numbers are meaningless. The real story is that there is little - or no - real organic improvement in the economy. The largest banks that get federal bailout money, for example, have actually reduced their lending for 6 months in a row.
But the feds can stimulate speculation. The dollar has become the 'carry trade' currency. The big players borrow in dollars...and use the money to speculate - against the dollar! They buy gold. They buy Brazilian bonds. They buy aluminum futures. They buy stocks.
The Dow rose 108 points yesterday. Oil rose over $72. Almost all commodities are up - except natural gas.
The post-crash party seems to be going well. It may continue. But the underlying problems of the real economy have not been corrected. They will rise up like zombies in a bad horror movie and bring the party to a close. Absent support from the Chinese, the price of gold will probably go down along with everything else. Which brings us back to the question we dodged.
"Dad, I made $2,000 just in the last couple of days...on that gold play I got in. But I'm nervous...should I sell it?"
Jules has graduated from college. He's investing his meager savings, trying to put together a big enough stake so he can take a year off from work and concentrate on his career as a composer and performer.
"Jules...I don't know," began the answer. "But you're a young guy. You can afford to speculate. If it goes your way, you make money. If it goes against you, you learn something...and you have plenty of time to recover.
"It looks to us as though this party is going to continue for a while. If I were you...I'd stick with it a while longer."
Our advice to a man of 21 is not the same as our advice to a man of 60. The older man would get older advice:
"Gamble not thy whole wealth on the gold market," we would say.
The older man needs gold. But he needs it as insurance...as a reserve against catastrophe...as a form of savings. The Fed has been negligent and derelict. It is not protecting America's money and Americans' wealth. The average fellow has to do it himself. He has to have reserves of his own...reserves of real money - gold.
He should buy. He should hold. He should buy the dips. But he should not speculate on higher prices...nor risk his wealth gambling in the gold market. Most likely, after this speculative boomlet, the price of gold will go down. How much? How far? For how long? Of course, we don't know the answer to those questions.
We're not buying now. But we already have our position in gold. We will add more - on the next big dip.
"Why capitalism fails" is the intriguing and misleading headline of an article in The Boston Globe. It is a reminder of the theories of Hyman Minsky, who pointed out the obvious: capitalism is inherently unstable...it proceeds in booms and busts...not steady, incremental growth. Of course, that is just the way it works - like nature herself. And that's why people don't like capitalism....they can't control it. So, whenever a bust comes, they imagine that it has 'failed' or 'broken down.' Then, they propose ways to fix it.
"Since the global financial system started unraveling in dramatic fashion two years ago, distinguished economists have suffered a crisis of their own," starts the article. "Ivy League professors who had trumpeted the dawn of a new era of stability have scrambled to explain how, exactly, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression had ambushed their entire profession.
"Amid the hand-wringing and the self-flagellation, a few more cerebral commentators started to speak about the arrival of a 'Minsky moment,' and a growing number of insiders began to warn of a coming 'Minsky meltdown..'
"'Minsky' was shorthand for Hyman Minsky, a hitherto obscure macroeconomist who died over a decade ago. Many economists had never heard of him when the crisis struck, and he remains a shadowy figure in the profession. But lately he has begun emerging as perhaps the most prescient big-picture thinker about what, exactly, we are going through.
"A contrarian amid the conformity of postwar America, an expert in the then-unfashionable subfields of finance and crisis, Minsky was one economist who saw what was coming. He predicted, decades ago, almost exactly the kind of meltdown that recently hammered the global economy."
Economists went off their heads in the last few decades. They thought capitalism would make us all rich. And they thought capitalism automatically tended toward beneficent equilibrium.
Here at The Daily Reckoning, intuitively, we guessed the contrary. The system produces a kind of orderly chaos...in which the rich are frequently impoverished, the proud are humbled...and the goofballs who think capitalism fails inevitably make things worse.

Yamaha DX27
The DX27 is a full sized keyboard version of the DX100. Like all DX's it uses (FM) Frequency Modulation synthesis. It's not the easiest form of synthesis to program but can result in some excellent sounds. The DX27 is not as flexible nor powerful as a DX7, but it does have some cool sounds. It is most renowned for its great analog bass sound (Patch #01) that is awesome for techno, house, jungle, and acid music styles; it's very gritty, the bass tone with gristle! However, any other preset sounds that you'll find in the DX100 are pretty bad. Though the DX27 adds a standard 61 note keyboard it still lacks filters, arpeggiators, effects or performance wheels and controllers.
Pictured above is the DX27S which adds built-in speakers for the home-user. It also has a stereo chorus effect and Pitch bend & Mod wheels and has support for a Breath Controller.

Quasimidi Technox
The Technox was something of a follow-up to Quasimidi's first rack-mountable synth, the "MASS" engine Quasar. The Quasar was a do-it-all multitimbral unit that was quite powerful, but had a rather lacking overall sound. The single-unit-high silver-clad Technox is a vast improvement based upon the Raven engine, though it's still a mid-90s ROMpler and so playing many sounds at the highest or lowest octaves brings out tell-tale artifacts.
But what are those sounds? Well the phrase "techno rave electronic" on the fascia would probably hint at what one would find, and indeed the presets are utterly 90's techno, rave, IDM, electronica goodness from every pore. Lots of pretty solid basses, rave leads, hooverish sounds, acid squeals, spacey pads and some great drum kits. The latter includes full sets of TR-808, 909 and 606 hits. There are 512 presets, which for a 1995 synth wasn't bad!
Whereas the Quasar excelled at providing a ton of bread-and-butter sounds, the Technox is oriented towards dance musicians. To this end, a sequencer is also included which can address up to 16 MIDI parts. Each part has its own level, pan and effects send, and much more besides. Using this and editing in general is a touch fiddly with the two knobs and four buttons, paired to a 2-line 16-character dot matrix LCD. But it isn't difficult, and while the presets tend to cover early-90s techno, a touch of editing can go a long way into many other genres. There's a lot of good stuff here for darker and ambient genres!
There's only stereo outs, but full MIDI In/Out/Thru and a foot switch jack. The Technox's greatest asset, ultimately, is its 16-part multitimbrality. Channel 10 is fixed to addressing drums, but the other 15 channels can go where you want. There are only 14 memories for these multitimbral setups, though, which is a touch limiting.
One aspect of these Quasimidi synths that throw some off is their sound creation, or rather the lack of. Similar to the Quasar, it isn't really possible to build sounds from scratch. Instead you use the preset samples and alter their settings using offset values. But where the Quasar had difficulty sounding anything more than "slightly muffled", the Technox's samples are higher quality and at least provide better starting points.
Don't expect anything close to a raw analog sound, or the sheen of a Korg workstation. While the Technox can sound a touch thin when playing single voices, a few of them mixed together can sound a lot beefier. There's a ton of good sounds in the Technox, and it is still very useable in many electronic music genres. They're not easy to find, but not all that expensive either. Not outstanding, but definitely worth a listen!

In November we critiqued the Unreported World episode on the UK's Channel 4 that documented the efforts of the Gazan Paralympic team to qualify for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. Amongst the usual anti-Israel bias and standard "blame Israel" mindset, something particularly crude and unethical stood out.
To recall, the subtitles during an interview with a Palestinian paralympian on how he became disabled, conspicuously omitted that he had been treated in an Israeli hospital.
Aside from being an inaccurate translation of what was said, the removal of this pertinent and relevant fact added to the overall negativity directed towards Israel in the documentary.
[Video segment courtesy of Richard Millett's blog.]
One HonestReporting subscriber sent us Channel 4's response to a complaint concerning the subtitling:
We spoke to the production company responsible for the programme and they have advised us as follows:-
When an interviewee speaks at speed, subtitles have to be condensed to allow the reader time to read them. This is done with great care to preserve the key message and meaning of the sound bite.
In the section of the programme complained about, Mr Khamis Zaqhout described how he came to be disabled. According to our literal translation, he said: 'After the accident I went to Israeli hospitals, and I entered the rehabilitation centres. Of course, I first practiced sports at the Abu Raya Centre and I felt that this was a substitute for losing something.'
In the film this was condensed to: 'After my accident I went to a rehabilitation centre. At the centre I played sport for the first time. I felt it was a good replacement for something I had lost.'
This was an interview about Mr Zaqhout's discovery of sport, not about who treated him and where. Therefore, the reference to Israeli hospitals was only edited out for reasons of subtitling on screen space and so was the reference to the Palestinian Abu Raya centre. If the film had been comparing Israeli and Palestinian medical systems we would have kept these references in. Please be assured no bias was intended and none occurred.
The subtitle should have said "centres", and we apologise for this. We acted in good faith and used an accredited translator. However, we do not accept this was to hide the fact Mr Zaqhout was treated in Israeli clinics. As a way of background, Mr Zaqhout was injured whilst working on a building site in Israel where he broke his back and was taken to hospital. He was not sent from Gaza to Israel for treatment. He was then moved to the Abu Raya rehabilitation centre in the West Bank where he received extensive rehabilitation.
Unreported World can be watched from the Channel 4 website across the world, and anyone who speaks Arabic will hear these words. I hope the above explanation puts your mind at ease and demonstrates there was no intention to deceive.
Even if we accept that there was no malicious intent on the part of the production company concerning the subtitling and that no bias was intended, the claim that none occurred is patently false when considered in the overall context of the documentary.
This included the implication that Israel indiscriminately targets Palestinian civilians in acts of retaliation and retribution. And, like the omitting of the Israeli hospital from the subtitling, so the lack of relevant context also contributed to the negative portrayal of Israel. For example, Gaza is portrayed as a territory under siege, a virtual prison. Yet, no mention of why Israel has blockaded Gaza, no mention of Hamas, no mention of the Egyptian border. Only Israel is the responsible party to Gaza's difficult situation.
Perhaps, if we are to accept C4's statement that no bias was intended, we are left with the disturbing possibility that Israel has become such a byword for negative connotations that this sort of bias has seeped into the subconscious and is part of the natural discourse, particularly in the UK.
That is why Channel 4's explanation is so worrying.
