A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on December 12, 2012
Yesterday, the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board met to hear public comments regarding the recently enacted Sporting Heritage Act. Approved by the state legislature with overwhelming bi-partisan support and signed by Governor Walker, Act 168 was intended to open up nearly all of Wisconsin's state parks for sportsmen during the state's most active hunting seasons. However, the Natural Resources Board was given the responsibility of forming a detailed plan for its implementation.
Anti-hunting activists provided the Board with utterly outrageous comments and testimony making accusations that this Act would transform law-abiding hunters and sportsmen into poachers and threats to public safety. Unfortunately, members of the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board caved to these radical activists and gutted the reasonable implementation proposal submitted by the state Department of Natural Resources.
The Board's actions openly defy the state legislature's intent to promote and encourage more access and opportunities for Wisconsin's more than 600,000 licensed hunters and sportsmen in state parks.
As a result of this egregious action taken by the NRB, hunter access to additional state parks in the fall will be limited to one month (from November 15 – December 15) and from April through the third week of the spring turkey season. This is a fraction of the increased opportunity intended by the state legislature. The NRB used the baseless claim of protecting public safety to restrict hunter and sportsmen access and opportunity on taxpayer-owned land. The NRA and its members throughout Wisconsin are extremely disappointed in the actions taken by the Natural Resources Board.
This fight is far from over!
Your NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated about developments related to this issue and upcoming plans to rectify this injustice affecting Wisconsin's hunting community.
Hunting/Conservation, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
The Wisconsin Assembly voted to concur with Senate amendments to Assembly Bill 311, it to Governor Scott Walker for his consideration. The Hunting Heritage Act, if signed, would encourage the recruitment and retention of hunters and trappers through a multitude of initiatives. FULL STORY

St. Johnsbury, Vermont – August 30, 2011 – ORBIS International brings the world's only Flying Eye Hospital—literally a fully functioning, state-of-the-art surgical and training facility housed inside of a DC-10 aircraft— to the Heritage Aviation facility at Burlington International Airport today. The Flying Eye Hospital arrives as part of a Goodwill Tour to raise awareness of blindness in the developing world. ORBIS is a non-profit organization that trains doctors to treat conditions and diseases that lead to blindness in countries where medical knowledge and resources are lacking. During the visit, which continues through Wednesday, the public has the opportunity to tour the aircraft, meet the volunteer pilots, crews and doctors and converse with the team who works aboard the aircraft.
According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 39 million blind people in the world – of which 90% live in the developing world. Globally, 80% of all visual impairment can be avoided or cured if there was equal access to high-quality eye care. ORBIS International prevents and treats blindness by providing quality eye care to transform lives. The organization supplies the tools, training and technology necessary for local partners in developing countries to establish their own capacity to offer quality eye care services that are affordable, accessible and sustainable. Since 1982, ORBIS has carried out more than 1,000 programs in 88 countries, enhanced the skills of more than 290,000 eye care professionals and provided treatment to more than 15 million blind and visually impaired people.
The Flying Eye Hospital visit is arranged in conjunction with Mobile Medical International Corporation (MMIC), a St. Johnsbury-based company that was awarded a multi-year contract by ORBIS in December 2010 to design and manufacture the next-generation Flying Eye Hospital. The ORBIS International Flying Eye Hospital visit was also coordinated by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce's Aerospace and Aviation Association (VAAA), in conjunction with VAAA's quarterly meeting. VAAA Honorary Chair, United States Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, and VAAA Chair, Brian Dubie, will be special guests visiting the Flying Eye Hospital.
The differences between the current Flying Eye Hospital, a DC-10 aircraft, and the next-generation, an MD-10 aircraft, are monumental: the MD-10 only requires two pilots as opposed to the current three, the aircraft's range will expand from 4,000 miles to 6,000 miles and will allow the ability to more efficiently customize the hospital configuration. Jack McHale, Director of ORBIS's MD-10 project, said, "While the Flying Eye Hospital is a unique technological and engineering marvel, the real miracle is that it helps change the lives of those who thought they would never be able to see again, who have lived for years without the gift of sight. We are thrilled to be working with MMIC to continue this vital mission."
Among the volunteers who work with ORBIS is Rosalind A. Stevens, MD, MPH, of Norwich, Vermont, an ophthalmological retinal surgeon who served as ORBIS's medical director and has been on nearly 30 missions with ORBIS. Dr. Stevens, Professor of Surgery (Ophthalmology), Dartmouth Medical School; and Chief of Ophthalmology emeritus, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, commented, "It is wonderful to have the Flying Eye Hospital in my home state of Vermont. For two decades the Flying Eye Hospital has been my second home. When I arrive in a country where ORBIS is training doctors, and I see the Flying Eye Hospital waiting on the tarmac, I am filled with pride for the ORBIS team and its trainees. I know that the new Flying Eye Hospital will continue to be a special place for those who have the privilege to do this work."
About ORBIS ORBIS International is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that works in developing countries to save sight worldwide. ORBIS prevents and treats blindness through hands-on training, public health education, improved access to quality eye care, and partnering with local health care organizations in an effort to eliminate avoidable blindness.

So the National Labor Relations Board hearings on the Northwestern University football team's proposal to form a union have just gotten under way, and we already have our first howler.
Here it is, from the mouth of Northwestern's vice president for university relations, Alan K. Cubbage: "We do not regard, and have never regarded, our football program as a commercial enterprise." OK, Alan, but you may be the only ones who don't. How, exactly, is an entity that sells tickets to its events - not to mention the national TV rights to broadcast those events - not engaging in commerce?
Not surprisingly, the claim - that big-time college sports do not represent commercial activity - has been consistently rejected by the courts. It also directly contradicts various statements made by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and its current and former officials.
Consider, for instance, a strategic report written in 2011 for the University of California at Davis by ex-NCAA President Cedric Dempsey. Davis had recently moved up from Division II to Division I, and the partly related fallout - specifically, the decision to cut some non-revenue-generating sports - had kicked up controversy on campus. Dempsey, who had become a consultant after leaving the NCAA, was hired to explain to everyone how the world of big-time college sports works. As he put it, Division II still uses an "educational model" that relishes "the history of noble amateurism." Division I, by contrast, is run on more of a "business model," with schools investing resources in the sports with the greatest potential to generate revenue. Hmmm.
Dempsey's successor at the NCAA, Myles Brand, put an even finer point on it. In a 2006 speech to NCAA members, Brand explained that "commercial activity" - like selling broadcast rights - is mandated by the "business plan." The failure to "maximize revenues," he said, would be "incompetence at best and malfeasance at worst."
It was just one of many occasions that Brand used to push the NCAA to embrace commerce - or to more enthusiastically embrace its commercial roots, which actually predate the existence of the organization itself. The very first intercollegiate competition, a regatta between Harvard and Yale on Lake Winnipesaukee in 1852, was the brainchild of the superintendent of the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad, who figured it would help fill his cars. It did. Before long, the Harvard-Yale regatta was an annual event to which both schools were selling tickets.
From these humble beginnings, big-time college sports were born. Now, a handful of collegiate football players wants a seat at the table where workplace conditions are being discussed. And the school that's trying to deny them that seat apparently can't come up with a more compelling argument than the self-evidently stupid claim that a multi-billion-dollar industry is not a commercial enterprise.

We searched the web's ticket sites high and low, but no one has any tickets available for this event.
If you track this event, we can let you
know when tickets become available.
You will receive emails alerting you about price updates and ticket deals.
Welcome back!
Tickets for Music Festivals are sometimes mislabeled by the seller.
Some tickets are for a single day's entry, and some are for multiple days.
Please double-check your tickets before you buy.
SeatGeek's Deal Score is a rating that determines whether a ticket is a bargain or a ripoff. The higher the number, the better the deal. The worst options have the classification Awful Deal, with classifications proceeding all the way up to Amazing Deal (Deal Score of 88 or above). Amazing Deals are exceedingly rare--only 5% of events have one.
When buying tickets for any event on SeatGeek, focus on the tickets with the highest Deal Scores and you can be confident that you're getting a bargain.
For some events on SeatGeek, there are over 10,000 tickets available. It can be quite difficult to sort through all of those tickets and identify the best deals.
This is further complicated by the fact that, when buying tickets for live events, you cannot shop based on price alone. A courtside ticket for $50 is probably a better deal than a bleacher seat for $30, but this might not be apparent if you sorted by price.
Deal Score enables you to make apples-to-apples comparisons among tickets that are in different parts of an arena.
If considering going to one of several events, Deal Score, is also helpful for determining which event has the absolute best deal.

Excellent!This review is from: Cuisinart 77-7 7-Piece Chef's Classic Cookware Set Silver Pros: First, I decided against non-stick. They will last you a few years and then peel away. However, you do need a a few non-stick for eggs etc. The rest of your cookware should be aluminum. This set is heavy duty. You feel the quality and professionalism. The price and value is unbeatable. you wont regret it. I did a lot of research before deciding on this set. I was also going to buy the multi-clad ones but newegg doesn't have them in stock but I figured these would be sufficient for the price and I wasn't wrong. Cons: I should have bought the 10 piece set. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Occupational therapists work with people of all ages who suffer from some degree of disability. As a student in this program, you'll learn to look past a person's disability to discover what they can do.
The pre-occupational therapy program at Calvin is designed to prepare you for entry into a master's level occupational therapy program. As a professional in this applied science, you'll enable your patients by teaching them the skills they need to function and contribute to society. The five-year program is comprised of three years at Calvin and two years at Washington University where you'll receive your clinical training. Upon completion of your second year at Washington, you'll receive your MSOT?master of science in occupational therapy?degree.
See job placement rates for Calvin grads.
Volunteer at local hospitals and senior centers; Attend lectures sponsored by the biology and chemistry departments; Spend the summer assisting a professor with research; Intern at Van Andel Institute; Work as a Camp Counselor at a camp for adults with special needs.
Preparation for entrance into the field of occupational therapy (OT) requires earning a master of science degree (MSOT) or a doctor?s degree (OTD) in occupational therapy, completing a six-month internship, and passing a national board examination. Admission into these graduate programs requires a college degree with any major so long as certain specified courses are taken.
Courses typically required include:
It also requires work or volunteer experience in OT, which can be arranged through the Service-Learning Center at Calvin.
Because the specific courses required for admission to occupational therapy are designated by the school offering the degree, the student should obtain a list of these required courses from each school to which they intend to apply. This step can be completed after arriving at Calvin and learning which schools offer OT programs. Admission to graduate programs also requires work or volunteer experience in OT, which can be arranged through the Service-Learning Center at Calvin, and completion of the Graduate Record Exam. Before registering for classes, a schedule for each student is arranged in consultation with the pre-occupational therapy advisors, A. Wilstermann or R. Nyhof, of the Biology department.
Calvin offers a 3-2 combined curriculum program with the program in occupational therapy, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. A student participating in this program would spend three years at Calvin taking the specific courses listed below, apply for acceptance into the program at Washington University, and if accepted, transfer to Washington University for the two clinical years. Upon successful completion of the first year, the student would receive a bachelor of science in letters and occupational therapy from Calvin and a MSOT from Washington University upon successful completion of the second year program. Alternatively, a student accepted into the OTD program would spend three years at Washington University. A student applying from Calvin will receive preferential status in his/her application for either program.
The three-year program at Calvin includes the following requirements:

Boatsman on the Yamuna River, India
Category: Spontaneous Moments
Photo and caption by David Haltom
Sunrise behind the Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, one January morning. As the fog lifted, a boatsman appeared out of the mist. He guided his craft silently across the calm waters of the Yamuna River. The fog still clung to the banks of the river, blending the waters into the mist and into the sky, in a seamless, cottony gray. No one else was around. The whole world felt smaller.

My cat's odd habit; is it a medical concern?
Hi, my question is about cat behavior. Smokey, my shorthair male cat, is 4 yrs. He has a tendency to twitch back legs, appearing as if he just stepped in water or something sticky, and he's shaking it off his toes. It's usually after he finishes eating and walks away from his bowl. It does not look like a pain response. My concern is as follows: Smokey had kidney injury early in life from trauma in the wild – lack of food/water, exposure to freezing temps. For a couple years his rehab included IV fluids to assist kidney function, though we have discontinued those, experimentally; our vet regularly monitors his creatinine & BUN. And his diet is formulated for kidney health. Question: Could something associated with compromised kidney function cause his legs to tingle or fall asleep when he sits in one place to eat? I'm speculating about the nervous system in his rear quarters. I notice that in the winter, on cold linoleum, he's more likely to 'shake a leg'. To clarify, the behaviour is not constant or chronic. I see it once or twice every couple of days. There seems to be a mild level of discomfort or distraction, but no pain. I really appreciate what you do for animals, doctor, and for all of us who love them. Thank you.

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
25.2. New Apache Phases and Corresponding PerlHandlers |
Because the majority of the Apache phases supported by mod_perl haven't changed since mod_perl 1.0, in this chapter we will discuss only those phases and corresponding handlers that were added or changed in mod_perl 2.0.
Figure 25-1 depicts the Apache 2.0 server cycle. You can see the mod_perl phases PerlOpenLogsHandler, PerlPostConfigHandler, and PerlChildInitHandler, which we will discuss shortly. Later, we will zoom into the connection cycle depicted in Figure 25-2, which will expose other mod_perl handlers.
Apache 2.0 starts by parsing the configuration file. After the configuration file is parsed, any PerlOpenLogsHandler handlers are executed. After that, any PerlPostConfigHandler handlers are run. When the post_config phase is finished the server immediately restarts, to make sure that it can survive graceful restarts after starting to serve the clients.
When the restart is completed, Apache 2.0 spawns the workers that will do the actual work. Depending on the MPM used, these can be threads, processes, or a mixture of both. For example, the worker MPM spawns a number of processes, each running a number of threads. When each child process is started PerlChildInitHandlers are executed. Notice that they are run for each starting process, not thread.
From that moment on each working process (or thread) processes connections until it's killed by the server or the server is shut down. When the server is shut down, any registered PerlChildExitHandlers are executed.
Example 25-2 demonstrates all the startup phases.
package Book::StartupLog; use strict; use warnings; use Apache::Log ( ); use Apache::ServerUtil ( ); use File::Spec::Functions; use Apache::Const -compile => 'OK'; my $log_file = catfile "logs", "startup_log"; my $log_fh; sub open_logs { my($conf_pool, $log_pool, $temp_pool, $s) = @_; my $log_path = Apache::server_root_relative($conf_pool, $log_file); $s->warn("opening the log file: $log_path"); open $log_fh, ">>$log_path" or die "can't open $log_path: $!"; my $oldfh = select($log_fh); $| = 1; select($oldfh); say("process $$ is born to reproduce"); return Apache::OK; } sub post_config { my($conf_pool, $log_pool, $temp_pool, $s) = @_; say("configuration is completed"); return Apache::OK; } sub child_exit { my($child_pool, $s) = @_; say("process $$ now exits"); return Apache::OK; } sub child_init { my($child_pool, $s) = @_; say("process $$ is born to serve"); return Apache::OK; } sub say { my($caller) = (caller(1))[3] =~ /([^:]+)$/; if (defined $log_fh) { printf $log_fh "[%s] - %-11s: %s\n", scalar(localtime), $caller, $_[0]; } else { # when the log file is not open warn _ _PACKAGE_ _ . " says: $_[0]\n"; } } END { say("process $$ is shutdown\n"); } 1;
Here's the httpd.conf configuration section:
PerlModule Book::StartupLog PerlOpenLogsHandler Book::StartupLog::open_logs PerlPostConfigHandler Book::StartupLog::post_config PerlChildInitHandler Book::StartupLog::child_init PerlChildExitHandler Book::StartupLog::child_exit
When we perform a server startup followed by a shutdown, the logs/startup_log is created, if it didn't exist already (it shares the same directory with error_log and other standard log files), and each stage appends to it its log information. So when we perform:
panic% bin/apachectl start && bin/apachectl stop
the following is logged to logs/startup_log:
[Thu Mar 6 15:57:08 2003] - open_logs : process 21823 is born to reproduce [Thu Mar 6 15:57:08 2003] - post_config: configuration is completed [Thu Mar 6 15:57:09 2003] - END : process 21823 is shutdown [Thu Mar 6 15:57:10 2003] - open_logs : process 21825 is born to reproduce [Thu Mar 6 15:57:10 2003] - post_config: configuration is completed [Thu Mar 6 15:57:11 2003] - child_init : process 21830 is born to serve [Thu Mar 6 15:57:11 2003] - child_init : process 21831 is born to serve [Thu Mar 6 15:57:11 2003] - child_init : process 21832 is born to serve [Thu Mar 6 15:57:11 2003] - child_init : process 21833 is born to serve [Thu Mar 6 15:57:12 2003] - child_exit : process 21833 now exits [Thu Mar 6 15:57:12 2003] - child_exit : process 21832 now exits [Thu Mar 6 15:57:12 2003] - child_exit : process 21831 now exits [Thu Mar 6 15:57:12 2003] - child_exit : process 21830 now exits [Thu Mar 6 15:57:12 2003] - END : process 21825 is shutdown
First, we can clearly see that Apache always restarts itself after the first post_config phase is over. The logs show that the post_config phase is preceded by the open_logs phase. Only after Apache has restarted itself and has completed the open_logs and post_config phases again is the child_init phase run for each child process. In our example we had the setting StartServers=4; therefore, you can see that four child processes were started.
Finally, you can see that on server shutdown, the child_exit phase is run for each child process and the END { } block is executed by the parent process only.
Apache also specifies the pre_config phase, which is executed before the configuration files are parsed, but this is of no use to mod_perl, because mod_perl is loaded only during the configuration phase.
Now let's discuss each of the mentioned startup handlers and their implementation in the Book::StartupLog module in detail.

Acer Iconia Tab a500
My Acer Iconia Tablet a500 screen suddenly froze. Now I cannot turn it on or off.
I tried to press the reset button but to no avail.
The store that i got it from wont refund nor exchange coz it is a few weeks past the 45 day policy.
I dont know what to do with this defective product.
Will appreciate your help.
Many thanks - 06-02-2012, 03:26 AM #2
Are you saying that the screen is off and the tablet doesn't respond at all to the power button, or the screen is on and frozen?
If the screen is on and frozen, try holding down the power button for a good 10 seconds--this might power the tablet down. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the power button again for 5-10 seconds to see if it powers back on. In case your battery is depleted, make sure it's plugged in.
If the screen is off and the tablet doesn't respond to the power button, then see if the light on the power button comes on at all while plugged in. If not, then your battery may just be plain dead, and there may not be much else to do.

Re: Acer Iconia Tab a500
Are you using he power on/off or the reset by the usb input? Also try plugging it in and letting it charge for an hour or so. Low batteries cause all kinds of strange reactions.And let us know what you found that works. If all else fails send it back to the factory for a replacement.

Contagion, Steven Soderbergh's latest film, is about a spreading epidemic and the large web of people and institutions that are forced to deal with its consequences, but this only represents the surface of what is the boldest exercise in Hollywood storytelling since The Social Network. It even feels as though it were made by someone who carefully studied David Fincher's film's principles and techniques, which makes quite a bit of sense, considering that Soderbergh watched it multiple times last year (twice in a single day at one point), according to his eccentric report of his "cultural diet", which documents all that he watched and read in the period of a year. What made The Social Network one of the most memorable movies of last year was its' progressive stylization (rather than Aaron Sorkin's admittedly sharp Oscar-winning script), in which Fincher ennobled the digital camera at his disposal in the creation of a rich, unique aesthetic, and applying storytelling techniques that felt conducive to the film's themes of disloyalty in a world with alienating media and shifting (degrading?) social relations. Complicated, sometimes elliptical editing, a ferocious pace, and a brilliant electronic score from Trent Reznor composed such a slick experience that perhaps it covered up what a daring piece of pop art The Social Network really was. If Fincher's film took a microcosmic look at a changing world, Contagion takes the macro route, globalizing themes of alienation, paranoia and information in a world dominated by media and technology, and emphasizing details of a bureaucracy that can bring out the Josef K. in all of us. As far as stylization goes, Soderbergh doesn't so much inherit aspects of The Social Network as it one-ups them, taking further steps with editing, digital aesthetic and doing so with a daring narrative structure.
With the opening shot of the film, which is preceded by the sound of a cough, Gwyneth Paltrow's face is de-romanticized, as we can peer into her countless pores. Indeed, the film makes efforts to remove any of the associated glamour from its considerable assortment of Hollywood stars. The otherwise immersive experience of the film is interrupted by the casting of such recognizable figures, such as Paltrow, Matt Damon and Jude Law, which challenges our preconceptions of what role such actors should play. As the trailer itself reveals, Paltrow's character is fated to exit the film relatively early on, subverting the Hollywood staple of hierarchical casting. However, it is not just with killing characters off that Contagion subverts the status quo, but in the film's erratic distribution of screen time and virtual indifference to character development and emotional resonance. This is one of the key differences between Contagion and The Social Network: Fincher's film had a core drama to rely on whereas Soderbergh depends almost entirely on his own creative agency for creating meaning and compelling filmmaking through his navigation of a cold, fact-obsessed narrative.
In the montage at the opening of the film, Soderbergh tracks the initial spreading of the mysterious disease that the plot revolves around. We follow Gwyneth Paltrow's character, Beth, on her way home to the United States from Hong Kong, as she gets increasingly ill. This is crosscut with other victims of the disease, who are located in several places around the world. The sequence is clearly inspired by the what is probably the most memorable part of The Social Network, where Zuckerberg conceives of a web site from his dorm, and Fincher shows us various characters in different spots on campus that are immediately impacted. Cliff Martinez's score for Contagion, while not derivative of Reznor's, certainly has similarities with its' electronic tinge and also with Soderbergh's application of it. As we track the disease, however, we have no narrative based orientation, and we seamlessly jump across the map, from "character" to "character". While the remainder of the film isn't quite as abstract, it retains much of this approach, highlighting Soderbergh's mastery of constructing unified ideas through disparate singular pieces. The film's virtual evasion of individuals is appropriate in that this is not a film about an individual but rather of individuals absorbed into a mass. The MacGuffin of the disease offers Soderbergh the chance to examine humanity, who exist solely through "the machine", on a global scale, without having to worry about adhering to the usual glue that holds a narrative together (if Nolan tried to make this film, he would break down in tears out of frustration).
Just as carefully as the film tracks the disease, it simultaneously is tracking how the world is handling it. We observe families, scientists and governmental suits reacting to the catastrophe. More so than the spreading of a disease it seems like we are observing the spreading of a different virus: information. By involving such a broad cross-section of the world, the film brilliantly examines how information is consumed; how it spreads; how it's controlled, by who, and why; who is privileged to access it, why and why not, etc. Most importantly, the film focuses on the roles played by the media and the government—the suppression of information is one of the first instincts in the case of the latter.
Contagion explores its themes through a network of figures—I find it difficult to cite them as characters when they have so little characterization although the exceptions may be Fishburne's Dr. Cheever and Damon's Mitch, who by the end of the films do fulfill an arc—and how they interact with each other and the disaster. The individuals in the film are all dependent on technology as sources for communication, be it with other individuals or with masses via media. For example, Laurence Fishburne and Kate Winslets's characters are bound by cell phone, at once linked and disconnected from each other. Cheever is Winslet's government liaison as she tracks down the disease and tries to isolate cases while investigating. Dr. Mears (Winslet) is committed to her job, but despite directly helping people she comes off as impersonal and detached. To emphasize her coldness, Soderbergh costumes her in thick sweaters and other androgynous clothing. She is invested in her task, which is inherently humane, but she neglects the human aspect of her job. This represents one of Soderbergh's insights into the early 21st century human syndrome he is illustrating. An early image of the film articulates this in a more impressionistic manner, when a dying man is walking the busy streets of Hong Kong, we see a shot from his POV of the masses of people around him, blurred so as to subtract definition from the individual, all the while cross-cutting with street vendors handling meat, chopping and boiling flesh. In the film's most poetic and abstract moments, it works as a study of our unconscious connections with those around us (it's ironic that the disease is a universal event and confronts people with the reality of these connections, resulting in hysteria), our alienation from these connections, and the difficulty of interpreting masses as a mass of individuals rather than a single entity. That Contagion focuses mostly on highly populated cities emphasizes this symptom.
Some of the most biting material of the film is focused on Jude Law's character, Alan Krumwiede, a popular rogue blogger, who is among the first sources to cover the disease in the news. As the world searches for a cure, Krumwiede claims to have found a natural one: forsythia. He posts a video of himself on his web site, wherein he appears to suffer from symptoms of the disease and takes forsythia to prove it works. He survives the disease, but there is no way to ensure he had it to begin with. Still, his blog has 12 million readers and forsythia becomes a desperately sought after item, driving people to fight each other over the precious available doses, showing us how the manipulation of information can be a tool for impacting industry. Krumwiede's fame affords him face time on a major news show opposite Dr. Cheever in one of the film's most avant-garde sequences. The two men are each merely a presence on a screen to the other. Dr. Cheever questions Krumwiede's legitimacy and in turn Krumwiede accuses (accurately) Cheever of leaking information to a loved one. Soderbergh frames Jude Law from an awkward high angle, and then proceeds with a shot-reverse shot of Law with himself, alternating from each side of his face in rapid succession and emphasizing his distractingly bad tooth (which must be fake). What is being suggested? The figure of Krumwiede is presented here as almost maniacal: a man that couldn't possibly be trusted, but is; at the same time, he is at least right in exposing some questionable practices on the government's behalf, so in this case can either side really be trusted, or for that matter can any source?
I'd like to investigate all of the different figures in the film, but with such a wide array of them, it would require a painfully exhaustive treatment. What matters is that all these pieces fit together in a meaningful way and that Soderbergh, with his medley of plastic; metal; canted tech-screens; comically framed hazmat suits; and dystopian touches—people have to wear barcodes in a late section of the film—has crafted an exciting and disturbing picture of today. The final gestures of the film portray a reconciliation of the upper and lower class via Dr. Cheever and a custodian played by the wonderful John Hawkes, in which human intervention of information—and undermining of bureaucracy—represents a victory. This is similar to the series of denouements in Soderbergh's Traffic, in which several of the characters break free of systematic restrictions and achieve a liberation of sorts. Contagion's fixation with three different usages of a camera in the final moments—the film even ends with a camera flash—provides an ambiguous coda to the film's portrayal of technology, demonstrating the different meanings of images and image-makers. There is an optimistic suggestion of transforming the coldness of technology through the imposition of humanity and sincerity.
The avant-garde touches that separate Contagion from The Social Network hasn't given it a different status as a blockbuster. Not only did it have just as wide a release, but it's even playing in IMAX, and made almost the exact same amount of money on its' opening weekend (both made an est. $22.4 million). Soderbergh's ability to maintain a mainstream status and to create popularized work without compromising what has been an incredibly explorative career is one of his most impressive achievements, and Contagion is the film that best combines all of Soderbergh's facets, bridging the gap between his broad appeal as both an arthouse and Hollywood filmmaker. Soderbergh has consistently made relevant films, but Contagion is one of the first that feels ahead of its time, a masterpiece pertinent to current day but guaranteed to become increasingly so as time goes on. He has articulated our ambiguous and disconcerting relationship with information in the early 21st century, and equating it to a disease is the film's most basic and effective poetic notion. It makes sense, doesn't it? After all: whether true, false, manufactured, exposed, traded, bought or sold: information is contagious.

Art Modell
The hero-villain of the NFL
Published: January 2, 2013
Art Modell's story could have been a testament to the American Dream. A Jewish kid from Brooklyn who, soon after his father died, dropped out of school at 15 and started working on ships at the docks to help keep his family afloat. At 18, during the height of World War II, he joined the Army Air Corps and later went back to school with the G.I. Bill. He'd go on to make his fortune as an ad man in the glory days of Madison Avenue and, in 1969, even married a TV starlet, Patricia Breslin, who he remained devoted to until her passing in 2011.
On top of his seeming storybook ascendance, Modell was a colossal figure in the making of the modern National Football League. Modell purchased the Cleveland Browns in 1961 and guided the franchise to their 27-0 pummeling of Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts in the 1964 NFL Championship game. Off the field, Modell was president of the league from 1967-69, a time that not only saw the first Super Bowl, but also the first collective-bargaining agreement between owners and players. Modell was a key player in the 1970 NFL/AFL merger, moving his Browns to the new AFC to smooth the transition. He was also widely credited as the man behind the creation of Monday Night Football and was extremely influential in the leagues' move to cable television in the 1980s.
Modell was a visionary and a central figure in many of the big decisions that pushed the NFL to its current perch as North America's preeminent sports league. He would seem a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but those hopes were perhaps dashed in 1996 when he moved his Cleveland Browns franchise to Baltimore. At that moment, Modell would go from a self-made man and exemplar of the American Dream, to perhaps the most reviled person in Cleveland history. Despite the significant contributions Modell and his wife made to Cleveland charities, he was pilloried in the press, threatened on the streets, and accused of ripping the beating heart out of a down-on-its-luck city.
But the act that made Modell a villain on the banks of the Cuyahoga made him a hero on the shores of the Chesapeake. Cleveland's loss of the Browns would give rise to the birth of the Baltimore Ravens, a franchise that in its 16-year history has tightly woven itself into the fabric of this city. And Modell and his wife embraced Baltimore. The charity work that was so much a part of their lives in Cleveland, they picked up again in Baltimore, becoming major contributors to the St. Vincent's Center, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Lyric Opera House, which now bears their name; funding the creation of the SEED School of Maryland; and being named the 2009 Maryland Philanthropists of the Year. By all accounts, the Modells made a huge imprint on Baltimore. But in a city that will always lick the wounds inflicted when the Colts left, Modell was embraced, with a side of guilt. In Cleveland, even in death, Modell remains a villain. In Baltimore, he will always be a hero with a glass jaw.

ARDY, CARROLLTON, TX – January 2013
I gave this necklace as my bride gift to my now wife. Her response (in addition to crying) was that it was "the second most beautiful piece of jewelry she had ever seen" (after her engagement ring). She wore her new pearls that night to our rehearsal dinner, and received dozens of compliments. Needless to say, she loves them.

About half of Manet's entire works, which rank among the greatest of the Impressionist movement, were portraits or scenes from everyday life.
Some of the portraits in the show evoke the photos that we see today on social networking sites like Facebook - they're small and straightforward yet reveal something personal about each subject.
And they reveal how we record and connect with each other.
The proliferation of images now is similar to what was happening during Manet's time when the camera made portraits ubiquitous, he said.
These are ideas that the century-and-a-half old paintings can convey to a modern audience, Nichols said. "This is very much about 2012 and what it means to conceive of yourself, to be perceived by someone else," he said.
Manet's portraits are spread throughout eight galleries into the museum. The exhibit neatly flows into another show featuring nearly 100 mostly black and white photographs of Hollywood legends from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Outside the hall, there are 700 Facebook-like images of community members, museum volunteers and staff.
"These threads together make it very contemporary," said Toledo Museum Director Brian Kennedy. "The prints and photos take us back literally through time to Manet. It covers all the various ways people use various media to represent each other."

I donated as well, no time to try the titles now, but I'm sure they're brilliant and will give them a shot some time next year. |

This is the first Humble Bundle to include software from a major licensed development house. AAA titles here. I just finished Darksiders (I) on the XBox, rented Saints Row III. Can't believe the titles here.
A really cool observation on the website is that many personnel behind the Havok physics engine have donated over $1000 each to this bundle. Clearly a fine example of the strength of the gaming developer's community.

Google has been told to pay the equivalent of $208,000 (USD) after recently losing a defamation case in Australia involving how it showed a 62-year-old man's name in search results. Google is examining the original jury verdict and may file an appeal.
A judge in the supreme court of the Australian state Victoria issued the fine today and, according to Phys.org, compared Google's search results to that of an online publisher:
Google Inc is like the newsagent that sells a newspaper containing a defamatory article," Beach said in his judgement. "While there might be no specific intention to publish defamatory material, there is a relevant intention by the newsagent to publish the newspaper for the purposes of the law of defamation."
The plaintiff, Milorad Trkulja, sued Google because his name showed up in searches related to phrases like "Melbourne crime" and near images of suspected members of Melbourne's organized crime scene. Trkulja was shot in 2004 and the case was originally thought to be linked to organized crime. Read our previous article, Google Loses Australian Defamation Case, Awaiting Decision On Damages, for more background on the case details — it's somewhat unusual, to say the least.
A Google spokesperson gave us this statement, disagreeing with the judge's comparison of Google to an online publisher:
"Google's search results are a reflection of the content and information that is available on the web. The sites in Google's search results are controlled by those sites' webmasters, not by Google."
Trkulja previously won a $225,000 judgment against Yahoo over the same matter.

I too love books (and reading them)! One of my favorite quotes is this:"When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes."--Desiderius Erasmus RoterodamusThat being said, I recently purchased the three-book American Classic Series (Amazon) entitledThe Real Thomas Jefferson,The Real Benjamin Franklin, and The Real George Washington. These are marvelous biographies! Plenty of meat and very uplifting about our Founding and these early American heroes. Click Here if you Like this Comment
For the bold of heart admirer of rugged individualism American patriot libertarian - may I warmly recommend the later Heinlein novels, from Glory Road onward, especially the four Lazarus books. Nothing I´ve experienced comes close to the fireworks-in-the-brain bombardment of mind-expanding ideas, joy, wry humor and Oh My God!!!!!! page after page, imbued with serious challenges about morality, theology and the nature of reality. After multiple re-readings, I still pick my jaw off the floor. A Goldwater conservative, his fiction is 100% free from political correctness (boy is it ever - if the feminists ever stage a book burning, Heinlein will be on top of the pile).

Get a Kindle. Or a Nook. If you don´t actually buy one of those e-readers, download Kindle and Nook for your PC or smart phone. They are free. Then you can download all the classics you want. They are also free. Then you can catch up on all the books you meant to read but never did. I´ve got Moby Dick, the Iliad, The Brothers Karamosov, Anna Karanina, Les Miserables, Bleak House, Ulysses, Crime and Punishment, Dracula, Pere Goriot, Huckelberry Finn all downloaded onto my Kindle for PC, and didn´t have to pay for any of them. It´s not the same as having an actual book in your hands, but it´s convenient, and you can adjust the font sizes, which for my own half blind eyes is important. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Poster #1, Thomas Costain is my favorite author. I started reading his books a loooong time ago in high school. If you can find a copy of ´Below the Salt´ get it. Kind of a dumb title but a great story. And after reading it, you´ll know why it´s has that title. Click Here if you Like this Comment

The Douro region of Portugal is a wine drinking photographer's paradise. Stunning scenery, excellent food and more wine to taste than you can wave a stick at. This was taken just after a light shower. The secondary road that wove through the landscape in front of me gleamed in the weak afternoon sun, lighting up the way.

A significant development has been undertaken in the production of therapeutic proteins. The researchers of Dartmouth/GlycoFi have announced the complete humanization of glycosylation pathway in the yeast Pichia Pastoris. Up till now protein based therapies consisted of more than half of all drugs in the development stage and their manufacturing involved living cells which had to be genetically engineered in order to produce the required protein. A process called glycosylation had to be performed in order to attain full function. Till now this required expression of proteins in mammalian cells which have the ability of attaching human like sugar structures. This new study has repeated all the steps of human glycosylation in a yeast cell and has eliminated the need for mammalian cells but the technology has also enabled various advantages over the conventional usage of mammalian cell cultures in form of reduced risk of contamination through pathogens and improved drug performance and efficiency in manufacturing. As per Tillman Gerngross, CSO, GlycoFi: We've successfully completed one of the most complex cellular engineering endeavors undertaken to date.

Tagged: Ethiopia
Through the generous help of our supporters, Oxfam has provided life-giving support to more than 2.8 million across drought-striken areas of Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia.
Thousands of needless deaths occurred and millions of extra dollars were spent because the international community failed to take decisive action on early warnings of a hunger crisis in East Africa, according to a new report by the international aid agencies Oxfam and Save the Children.
Drought is making it difficult for herding families in southern Ethiopia to earn a living from their livestock. Some people have decided to try a new approach: irrigated farming. With Oxfam's help, they are adapting to the changing climate by tapping the Dawa River for water.
European Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs Kristalina Georgieva endorsed today a Charter, launched by leading agencies, to make deadly food crises like the one gripping East Africa a thing of the past.
For many of the more than 13 million people affected by the drought and food crisis in East Africa, the short October-to-December rains signal a shift in need and are likely to lead to increased requirements for health, shelter and water, sanitation, and hygiene services.
This week, Oxfam Ambassador Actress Scarlett Johansson visited Kenya to see the devastating impact of the drought in East Africa. More than 13 million people are at risk because of a severe drought that has hit parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. In Somalia, the crisis has escalated to a famine.
It's a race against time to get water equipment constructed before refugees arrive in a new camp, Hilaweyn. Oxfam's Jane Beesley meets a shipment of aid from the UK as it lands in Ethiopia.

The Ancient Teachings of Yoga in a Modern Context
Bringing the ancient teachings of yoga into a modern context without "dumbing them down." This is done by exploring the original yogic scriptures, written primarily in Sanskrit and finding their relevance to the world today.
Redefining the concept of asana to align closer to the original meaning of the Sanskrit term, "seat". Expanding the notion of
to mean "connection or relationship to the Earth," with Earth implying all of life, all beings. Citing from Patanjali's
Yoga Sutra
, which says that asana should be
, Jivamukti Yoga maintains that one's relationship to others (asana) should be mutually beneficial and come from a consistent (
) place of joy or happiness (
). That is a radical idea that, when put into practice, can dismantle our present culture, which is based on the notion that the Earth and all other animals exist for our benefit and should be exploited for our own selfish purposes. So the practice of asana becomes much more than mere physical exercise to keep one's body fit or to increase strength or flexibility; it becomes a way to improve one's relationship to all others.
Emphasizing that enlightenment is the goal of all yoga practices. The yogic enlightened realization is the oneness of being, where all otherness disappears. According to Jivamukti Yoga, to achieve this it is essential to dissolve otherness through non-harming, kindness and compassion, which helps one to realize that everyone and everything one sees "out there" is in fact coming from inside of them. Through compassion one can dissolve others back into the emptiness of their own heart.
Extending the practice of non-violence (
), kindness (
) and compassion (
) to include other animals and the natural environment. Non-violence, kindness and compassion are certainly not new concepts to religion or spirituality, but extending those practices to include non-human animals and the natural world is new.
Bringing the concept of emptiness (
) into the study and practice of yoga, with evidence drawn specifically from the ancient yogic texts, primarily Patanjali's
Yoga Sutra
, so that students can understand that this concept is not only found in Buddhism but is essential to yoga as well.
Introducing a highly structured understanding of alignment, not only according to the human skeletal and muscular systems, but also to the energetic body, including the subtle anatomy of nadis and chakras.
Introducing a revolutionary approach to understanding the chakra system that incorporates connections between each chakra and its corresponding asanas as well as between each chakra and its corresponding relationships with others. This is an extremely powerful tool for resolving karmas and repairing relationships with others.
Presenting an integrated form of yoga, incorporating the four major
or paths of yoga (
) into an asana practice taught in a group classroom setting.
Emphasizing the importance of keeping a spiritual intention in one's mind while practicing in order to achieve yoga as the desired result. According to Patanjali, whatever is in your mind while you are performing an action will determine the result of that action.
Introducing a highly sophisticated understanding of the practice of vinyasa according to Patanjali's
Yoga Sutra
, in which conscious breath and intention result in bringing about equanimity of mind and the ability to redirect one's destiny toward yoga—unity with all.
Creating many new asanas and asana sequences, such as Blossoming Lotus, Hippy Twist and Seat of Isis, all of which are described and illustrated in
Jivamukti Yoga: Practices for Liberating Body and Soul
, by Sharon Gannon and David Life.
Teaching that yoga should be and can't help but to be political because of its goal—the realization of the oneness of being. Jivamukti Yoga maintains that if we are essentially all connected then it is necessary for yogis to do all they can to relieve the suffering of others and not live in an isolated "yoga bubble"—a skin-encapsulated ego. Step off the mat and into the world.
Reintroducing hatha yoga to the West as a rigorous demanding practice. Prior to Jivamukti Yoga, when the term
hatha yoga
was used in relation to yoga it meant easy or flaky. Jivamukti Yoga changed that and proved that hatha yoga practices are extremely demanding and not for the faint of heart or the dilettante. Jivamukti Yoga sees hatha yoga practices as practices that can lead to enlightenment and not merely preliminary practices to get one ready for the more "spiritual" or serious practices. Jivamukti Yoga reminds the world that meditation is a hatha yoga practice.
Emphasizing the importance of
: chanting the names of God as a yoga practice, which instigated the development of the modern kirtan movement world-wide.
Creating the art form of asana dance, in which yoga asanas are integrated into choreographic performances. Prior to Jivamukti Yoga, there existed a long-standing tradition in India where asanas were demonstrated as public performances, but this was frowned upon in the West.
Creating the
or "ICP" where a teacher gives hands-on assists to a student working one-on-one in a class-room setting.
Staunchly adhering to only using and supporting cruelty- and animal-free, eco-friendly products and selling only organic, sustainable, recycled items in their boutiques. This has instigated many manufacturers to create such products.
Raising the bar for yoga teacher training standards. The Jivamukti Yoga 300-hour and 800-hour trainings are the most highly regarded and thorough yoga teacher training courses in the world today.
Making the practice of yoga "cool and hip," according to Vanity Fair magazine.
