Cedar Rapids Weather
Cedar Rapids Airport Traffic Nearing the One Million Mark AgainBy Dave Franzman, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — The passenger numbers are looking very good at The Eastern Iowa Airport. Final figures for calendar year 2012 show nearly all the passengers lost over the years to either airline cutbacks or a poor economy have resumed flying in and out of Cedar Rapids.
The total number of airlines passengers in Cedar Rapids hit 985,141 in 2012. That's the biggest number since 2008 and airport officials are fairly confident of passing the million passenger mark this year. The passenger increase in 2012 was 11.8%. Airport officials said the addition of a low-cost airline, Frontier, last year made fares more competitive. So Cedar Rapids is getting some of the travelers who used to drive elsewhere to hop on a plane. Monday wasn't the day to really get a good feel for the higher passenger numbers. With dense fog, only a few flights made it in or out early in the day. But some travelers have noticed more company in the terminal in 2012. Michael Fritts, who drove from Waterloo to catch a flight, said "I think you notice it's busier pulling into the parking lot. It's tougher to find a spot and when you get inside there is more traffic." Tim Bradshaw, director of The Eastern Iowa Airport, predicted passenger traffic will exceed 1 million a year in 2013. But he's also afraid it will be tough to beat the record set in 2007 before the national economic problems. The number that year was just more than 1 million, 60-thousand. Bradshaw said the problem with exceeding that is airlines fly smaller planes these days compared to years past and airlines aren't as eager to add flights quickly. "Most people flying today recognize flights are full — there's not a lot of additional seats out there. If we could get airlines to add additional flights, there could be a possibility (of beating the record)," he said. The higher passenger numbers at the airport didn't go unnoticed by airport vendors either. Jeff Ries, with SSP America, the main airport vendor, said "we've seen our business go up maybe 20 percent in just about three years." Bradshaw said The Eastern Iowa Airport wants to hit the 1 million passenger total for more than just bragging rights. He said it's a number that tends to get more attention from airlines when the airport calls about adding service. And it also puts the airport in a new category when it comes to accessing federal grants for airport improvements.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Shares, oil rise after weak data backs ECB rate cut
- Tweet
- Share this
* ECB lending, German Ifo data bolster rate cut expectations
* European shares build on biggest jump in seven months
* Euro hits three-week lows vs dollar before rebound
* Durable goods data weighs on U.S. stocks
By Herbert Lash
NEW YORK, April 24 (Reuters) - Global equity markets and crude oil rose on Wednesday, drawing support from strong corporate earnings and speculation of a European Central Bank interest rate cut after weak German economic data.
Wall Street traded flat to lower after a report said U.S. durable goods recorded their biggest drop in seven months in March, which tempered enthusiasm over what has so far been a relatively robust U.S. earnings season.
A gauge of planned business spending rose only modestly, indicating a slowdown in U.S. economic activity, which also weighed on U.S. equities.
But news from the Munich-based Ifo think tank that German business sentiment in April fell for the second consecutive month and was worse than the most pessimistic forecasts boosted European equities while weighing on the euro.
The Ifo report added to the view that the ECB is closer to lowering interest rates than at any time since it last cut them in July 2012 and is likely to shave off a quarter-point at its policy meeting next week.
"There is enthusiasm the ECB is poised to cut rates and that simply means more liquidity and that is the underlying, basic strong factor for stock markets around the globe," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York.
Cardillo said earnings continue to surprise to the upside for the most part, so enthusiasm for equities continues to grow.
Analysts see earnings growth of 3.1 percent this quarter, up from expectations of 1.5 percent at the start of the month.
Of the 174 companies in the S&P 500 index that have reported first-quarter results, 68.4 percent have beat analysts' expectations, according to Thomson Reuters data through Wednesday morning. Since 1994, 63 percent have surpassed estimates on average, while the beat rate is 67 percent over the past four quarters.
Global equity markets, as measured by MSCI's all-country world equity index, rose 0.58 percent to 363.16.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 21.66 points, or 0.15 percent, to 14,697.80. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 1.38 points, or 0.09 percent, to 1,580.16. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.10 points, or 0.00 percent, to 3,269.43.
European shares chalked up a fourth straight session of gains. The FTSEurofirst 300 of top regional shares closed up 0.7 percent at 1,191.82.
British insurer Standard Life and Portuguese retailer Jeronimo Martins led gainers, surging 8.0 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively, after announcing strong first-quarter numbers. Volume was three and five times their average for the past 90 days.
Brent crude rose above $101 a barrel as U.S. stocks of gasoline declined, but gains were checked by the prospect of slower growth and fuel demand in major economies.
Brent futures were up $1.43 to $101.74 a barrel. U.S. crude futures gained $2.06 to $91.24.
"It's an unusual situation in that bad economic news is good news for markets because it implies more easing by the central banks," said Olivier Jakob, analyst at Petromatrix in Zug, Switzerland.
The euro initially edged lower against the dollar but held above a near three-week low as hopes that Italy can resolve its political gridlock were trumped by the weak German data, which fanned talk of an ECB rate cut.
The euro dropped to $1.2954, its lowest since April 5, before paring losses to trade slightly higher at $1.3015.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 3/32 in price to yield 1.6944 percent.

For image quality and fine detail that rivals or exceeds that of many
medium-format systems, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is the only DSLR in its class.
What does it take to be the best? In comparing DSLRs, the answer is incredible image quality and performance. Especially for pros, it also takes a nearly unbreakable camera body, long-lasting battery, and a wide range of accessories to ensure that you don't miss the critical shot. Is all of this worth $8,000 (street) for the camera body alone? Canon hopes that enough pros will think so once they discover the capabilities of its new 21.1MP EOS-1Ds Mark III.
The latest in a series of EOS-1Ds professional-level cameras, the 1Ds Mark III showcases Canon's most advanced, super-high-megapixel, full-frame sensor. The earlier models broke ground with 11.1MP and 16.7MP sensors (on the 1Ds and 1Ds Mark II, respectively), and all were built to handle the rigors and demands of professional use.
In our tests in the Pop Photo Lab, the 16.7MP 1Ds Mark II exceeded the image quality of ISO 100 film in most categories, including color accuracy and low noise levels at high ISOs. But film still had the resolution advantage at 3000 lines (tested), compared with 2600 lines on the 1Ds Mark II.
So we couldn't wait to find out what a 21.1MP pro DSLR offered in terms of image quality and resolution. After all, some medium-format film shooters (or those using digital backs) might be tempted to trade in their heavy cameras and clunky lenses for a less-expensive DSLR if it captured similar, or better, image detail and provided the other benefits of a digital SLR system, such as burst shooting, fast autofocus, low noise at high ISOs, and a wider range of accessories.
When we got a production model of the 1Ds Mark III, we needed no more than a few seconds to get acquainted with the controls and button/dial arrangement -- mainly because it shares all of these with its sibling, the 10.1MP EOS-1D Mark III ($4,330 street, body only) we tested in 2007. They both also have the same 45-zone AF system with 19 cross-type sensors, 14 bits per color from dual Digic III processors, 3-inch LCD with live view (with manual focus only) and 230,000-dot resolution, rechargeable lithium ion battery, and shutter rated to 300,000 exposures.
In our tests we found similar viewfinder accuracy (99%, an Excellent rating) and magnification (76%, Good), but the image in the 1Ds Mark III has full-frame coverage.
For twice the price you get more than twice as many megapixels in the 1Ds Mark III as you do in the 1D Mark III. So does that mean you get twice as much detail and overall image quality? No. For one thing, it takes four times as many pixels to double the resolving power of a camera sensor, and lens design plays a part.
However, the resolution improvement in the 1Ds Mark III is still record-breaking. With an average 2830 lines (2850Hx2800Vx2840D), it not only beat the performance of the 1D Mark III (2200 lines), but it also broke the record set by its 16.7MP predecessor, the 1Ds Mark II (2600 lines). For comparison, Nikon's new full-frame 12.1MP DSLR, the D3 ($5,000 street, body only) captured 2320 lines.
With such a pixel-filled sensor, the quality of the lens and the accuracy of the camera's autofocus system is more important than ever. Photographers get what they pay for from the 1Ds Mark III's fast, sensitive, and accurate AF, and we assume that anyone who can afford this camera will pair it with high-performance Canon L-series zooms, or high-quality prime lenses such as the 50mm f/1.4 Canon EF USM used in our tests. (Otherwise, using an older or cheaper lens will have the same effect as dialing down the megapixel count to the 16.7MP of the EOS-1Ds Mark II.)

Comments: Let me be the one review you guys read. I bought this reel for a micro guide t rig rod. And let me tell you. This reel flys high with all my other reels. Here's my lineup. Lew's speed spool, Lew's tournament pro, 2 bps pro qualifiers, quantum metrix, bps extreme, and now the laser mg. this reel has some competition and it flies high with the rest of em. Buy it.
From: Kenden: Milwaukee, WI
Comments: By far the best reel for under 100$ Easy.this thing is so light i love it.i bought the 6.4:1 and 7.1:1 these will handle anything you wanna throw a good pick up for sure for anyone on a budget
From: Unknown: USA
Comments: I got this reel for Xmas, and am very happy with it. Cast a mile and sticks fish good!!!! I got it in the 7.1:1 gear ratio and put 50lb braid on it for frogs.
From: Unknow: USA
Comments: For the money I don't think you can find a better reel. I bought the Laser MG to replace an older reel that had burnt out with the mind set I would get a better reel when I found them on sale. That's not the case anymore. This reel works way above its pay grade. I have used it for everything from light spinner baits to heavy A-Rig's and it never skips a beat.
From: Jonathan: Tn
Comments: I have 10pcs. casting reels and i love Abu-reels, but...but up to 100,-USD is LewÃ≠´s LS1 absolutely my best reel! Is better than Abu Orra SX or MAX. I have a few more expensive casting reels, but when I look on my first Lew's LS1, I think, why I bought so expensive reels? Lew's become my favorite. Super casting reel for fair price!
From: Petr: Czech Republic
Comments: Absolutely the best reel money can buy at this price point. I got my first when they started making these. I now have one on every rod I fish with! Keep in mind that Lew's warranty service is the BEST in the business. I have only had one issue with the drag on one Lew's reel - sent it to Lew's and got it back the same week fixed and ready to fish! If you're looking don't hesitate to pick up a few of these reels.
From: Kirk: Crossville, TN
Comments: i have 6 of these reels and idk what the deal is but acouple of mine are starting to grind bad. i keep them oiled and everything so idk. i did have to send back because of the drag broke. i still like them a lot for the price just wish i knew what was up with the noise a few of mine are making.
From: Sam: TN
Comments: I have had this reel for about a year now and fish it pretty consistently on my senko rod. Like others have said it works great at first but the gears started to grind and skip after a while. I didn't have any problems until I caught a 5lber on it. After that it has not been the same. I have to be clear though I use this reel a lot. It gets more use than any other I own. That could have a lot to do with it. I got a good year+ out of it and am still using it but plan to replace it shortly.
From: Micah: NC
Comments: I bought this reel back at the start of the summer. The reel has been great! I've caught two 5 pounders in the past two weeks and the reel handled them with ease. No problem with flex, drag, or none of that. Also I have been using it with 17 lb line lately and still havent had any issues. Great reel for the price!
From: Brad: KY
Comments: I am a $100 or so type guy on both rods and reels. I purchased this reel just to try and have a reel just laying around the house. I have 3 of the SS1's and the are the best bang for your buck at $100 BY FAR of any reel currently on the market. This MG is no exception and is a great value at $79.99. It kills all the Quantum junk and other brands in that price range. That being said like someone else below mentioned there is some flex in the reel frame since it is graphite and not aluminum. Nothing bad about this reel but go ahead and spend the extra $20 on the SS1's that have the aluminum frame.
From: Brett: STL, MO
Comments: as some may have seen i maid a review on this reel the 3 day i had it, now its still great reel light and good price point but, it has alot of flex since its not maid out of aluminum still nice reel and i still use it but id rather use my 6 other lew's reels with aluminum frames, if you want this reel get it but i dont sugest using it as a heavy cover pitching reel because of flex i like using it with 15lb braid or 12 popund flouro for spinnerbaits and poppers and i can cast a whacky worm with this reel, if you get this reel try and match it with a 6,9 medium or 7 medium with lighter line and you got your self a solid set up! but if you can get the extra 20 i would get the speed spool it is the BEST reel for the money and if you can get more money the tournament mg is evan better! what ever you chice lew's is the best choice ( better then shimano,quantum,abugarcia) and yes i have tried all them!
From: Dale: Canada
Comments: Not 100% sure why you guys are complaining about the drag system. absolutely ZERO wrong with the drag. I have 8 of these reels and they are (ALL) consistant in mannerisms....and the drag??? yea the drag works extremely well. Folks- Buy with confidence- remember- quite a few fishermen do not know exactly how to actually "SET" a drag correctly....enjoy!
From: John: Kentucky, USA
Comments: This reel became rough just from spooling it with line the first time. The frame has so much flex that if you tighten the sideplate locking screw with just your fingernail it will bind the reel. Spend the extra money and get an aluminium frame lews reel. This reel is definitely not durable and i would not recommend it at all!
From: Josh: IN
Comments: Great reel for the price, casts weightless plastics far, heavy crankbaits a mile, very castable. It can handle heavy braid and mono well. Drag is not excellent but does suffice for catching largemouths. Very smooth reel and feels just as good now as it did on day one. Durability is great and if you clean this reel and take care of it, it will last you a very long time. Overall, the best reel on the market for this price!
From: John: GA
Comments: Disappointed in this reel. It was butter smooth until i caught the first fish on it then the gears started to feel rough. The cast control is inconsistent. one cast it will be to much then the next cast its like its not even working. I've used this reel on 4 trips and the gears are so rough feeling i won't use it anymore. Junk!
From: Nick: USA
Comments: Got this reel on May 31st, 2013, and all that i can say is WOW!! Was so exited to get this reel, that i had to go try it out at the neighborhood pond! Only one decided to bite, and the reel handled it with what I expected, and more! This reel is extremely conferrable and smooth! Great drag system, magnetic breaking system(that's what MG stands for). Just a great reel, and if you are considering getting this real, get it, you wont be disappointed!
From: Johnny: Austin,TX
Comments: Great reel for the $$$. With that said, Spend the extra 20$ for the Speed Spool (SS1) The Drag is sticky on the Laser. Locked it down, and I still could pull 16 lb Floro off the spool easily.
From: Rusty: TX, Where else?
Comments: This reel is amazing for $80 bucks. Bought one here @TW and another elsewhere and they're the epitome of "bang for the buck".
From: Dave: Upperco, MD USA
Comments: Got this reel the other day, its my first lews and it wont be my last, as long as they are as good or better than this one this is crazy if you dont have one. this reel is so smooth and responsive its better than my 150 quantum smoke i have this on lews sl 7ft meadium heavy rod and 50 pound braid its an awsome setup your crazy if you arnt thinking about getting one
From: Dale: ontario,canada
Comments: wondering if anyone had trouble with drag on this reel? reason i just bought one and i had drag locked down and it was spinning like it was engaged. other then that the reel is a good reel cast very well even on windy days
From: Tom: PA
Comments: Lew's reels are the best and you get superior quality no matter which model you buy. I have a Laser MG and it is as good a reel as any I've used, and I've used pretty much every brand. The Laser MG is the best reel on the market for under $100.00, no question on that whatsoever!!
From: Toff: TN
Comments: Just got my new mg. The oversized reel handle helps (especially with reel grips) a lot so your fingers don't slip off. It feels pretty smooth and super durable. The only negative is its a bit heavy but it's made straight from metal parts(what I've heard) and has a huge spool so that explains it.
From: Trevor: MN
Comments: Love these reels!! I now own 5 of these. If you are looking for excellence look no further. These reels cast effortlessly and are smooth as a babies butt. Wanna take a chance on a different brand...Buy Lews.....You will not be disappointed!
From: Jason: TN
Comments: Just bought this reel a month ago. For the price you cant beat it! Very smooth, and cast a mile.
From: Doug: SC
Comments: The drag is pretty sticky. Even backed off all the way the drag isnt smooth. But for $80 this little reel will CHUCK a hardbait. Very impressed with the castability. Since I use moderate action rods on my hardbaits I'm not too concerned about the drag. Definitely will buy another for the deep crank stuff.
Comments: I bought this reel and it is phenomenal. I usely get Abu Garcia but this is so much better
From: James: IA
Comments: was wondering if anyone could tell me if this would be good for a bait caster drop-shot rod
From: Ian: AZ
Comments: i had tried this reel at my local tackle shop made werid noises
Comments: Just got this reel a couple weeks ago and all i can say is WOW. I'm an Abu Garcia guy but starting to think Lew's is a better deal pricewise and performance wise.
Comments: I bought this reel 6months ago, Great reel no problems at all an very low profile. A great buy an why wouldnt it be its Lews!!!

Comments: i love this reel its awesome,I recamend the abu garcia record
From: hayden: Orangeburg, SC
Comments: I do not deep crank every day, so I did not want to break the bank and spend a lot on a low gear ratio reel for it. This reel has more than met my expectations. It is so smooth and the 5:1 has plenty of power to throw a 6xd all day. Very light but sturdy and reliable. I have it matched on a 7'6" Veritas Winch and throw 12lb berkely fluoro. Highly recomend the 5:1 for deep cranking or just cranking in general
From: JP: MD
Comments: I just recieved the 2 reels, 5:4:1 for Cranking and the 7:1:1 for my lipless crankbait slash Spinnerbait..Both look Great love the smaller profile..Look forward to use at the Lake..
From: Travis: Burlington, NC
Comments: I live locally to tackle warehouse so i when one of the guys there told me to try this reel out i did and sure enough i love that thing its welll worth the money
From: Cody: Arroyo Grande, CA
Comments: just got it a couple days ago. Bought the 5.4:1 for crankin. TW shipped it to my door in ontario canada in two days! i took it over to my local tackle shop to have some 12# red label spooled on and the owner offered me $100 for it. anyway, got it paired with the powell diesel crankbait rod and it's super smooth and light. no complaints so far. if it holds up i'll be ordering the other two in the fall. my girlfriend's keeps yelling at me cause i spend more time on this website than i do with her. thanks TW
From: Basskoka: Ontario, Canada
Comments: This is the best reel out there for 80 dollars.I own this one ,and the original speed spool,they both are great reels.Lews is the only company i buy casting reels from.Pick this reel up and put it on a quantum energy pt casting rod,u wont regret it.I use swim jigs ,small flippin jigs and sometimes jerkbaits and cranks. the bottom line is .... get one of these reels.
From: Noah: IA
Comments: Fantastic reel. Casts a mile, practically no backlash issues whatsoever. I have a Revo STX and I find myself reaching for the Lew's just as much. I will be buying Lew's in the future for sure. May step up to the all aluminum one piece frame for the extra $20. But at this price point, this reel is a no brainer! Very impressive Lew's!!
From: Dave: Mendon, VT
Comments: Nice reels for the money. I picked up the 5.4:1 and the 6.4:1. The 6.4:1 I have had a hard time dialing in. The 5.4:1 casts a country mile and is smooth as can be. It's great paired up with a Powell Diesel Rod.
From: The Whiz: Henderson
Comments: I have 2 of these baby's, and you can't beat em for the price. Laser was a great choice for the name. Smooth, Cast a weightles worm a mile, good drag. Awesome reel, haven't noticed any real frame flex. Thanks LEWS and TW.
From: Chad: So Cal
Comments: Soooooo smooth, if you haven't tried them you wouldn't believe it. The cast controls on this thing is amazing to, it casts unbelievably well.
Comments: By far the best reel you can get for under 100$ it casts great and also fights fish really well with the drag system it has. I will use lews from now on im a firm believer in them!!!!!!!!!!
From: Jake: Tuscumbia, AL
Comments: Bought this reel to use in the bays here in San Diego for spotted bay bass. First impressions of the reel were great. Casts as good as some $200.00+ reels I have used, super smooth retrieve. Thats where the good stuff ends. You can feel the graphite frame flexing in your hand while hooked into a fish, even a little one pounder makes the frame flex. The drag is one of the worst I have ever used. Buttoned down the drag is fine anywhere else it is set and it slips and sticks really bad. To bad because the reel has potential but with a frame that weak and a drag that you can't rely on it is being left at home from now on. Sticking to Shimano
From: Bob: San Diego, CA
Comments: Been using this reel for about a month now and i gotta say i love it, very few backlashes (im a beginner to using casting reels) and casts like a dream. Got it paired with a E21 Wild Black Carrot Stix Casting Rod 7'3 Med Heavy. Love it.
From: Kurt
Comments: This is a great reel. Everything you need. I'm actually replacing my two lews tourney pros with these...why pay 200 for a reel when you can get the same thing for 80. Get this...it's great if you use braid just tie it through the holes on the spool, don't even mess with tape or mono backer this is way better!
From: Pete: VA
Comments: Lew's Laser MG Speed Spool Casting Reel this reel is awesome:)
Comments: Amazing reel. For 80$ there is no other reel out there that can beat this one. The paddle style reel grips add more stability in my opinion. It is lightweight, small in the hand, and smooth. For reels under 100$, probably in the top 5 for quality. I will buy more.
From: Boca: CA
Comments: for the money, best reel, I have an exo and smoke, this reel will compete with both. Lews was new to me but i'm highly satisfied with this reel!

Treasure Island Music Festival, Day 1: Photos & Reviews
Thanks to Treasure Island Music Fest 2011, we're struggling through this beautiful Monday. Here are some impressions of the first day's electro-leaning lineup.
Consider Geographer our city's answer to Passion Pit. The local electro chamber-pop trio is just as irresistibly catchy, and adept at winning hearts and minds and ears quickly. They rewarded the early birds on Saturday with big synths and clicky percussion, and also Nathan Blaz' electric cello atmospherics. Vocalist/guitarist Mike Deni's ghoulish vocals reminded of Grizzy Bear's haunted slo-mo lyrical approach, deep and urgent and capable of the occasional wistful high register. They played most, if not all of their debut album Animal Shapes, an immediately and consistently intriguing collection of songs. They closed with "Original Sin," the poppiest number of the bunch, looping a sugary synth riff that got the dance party started for those in it for the long haul. Expect big things. –Chris Trenchard
Whoa. Forget trying to put the Shabazz Palaces duo into a box. Their sound crossed genres and eras and dimensions on a whim on the mainstage Saturday. Vocals came packaged in abstract perversions of watery effects, and beats and rhythms recalled the experimental approach once championed by Outkast. The general reaction to their set was "it sounded like acid-(hip-hop/trance/soul/R&B/calypso/something)." The occasional dip into autotune territory was a bit of a turn-off, especially considering it seemed like they had discovered post-autotune territory in previous songs. But they're mostly in unchartered waters, painting clever (if indecipherable) hip-hop verses over tripped-out beats. –Chris Trenchard
If you wandered into the festival during Buraka Som Sistema, you would have witnessed the entire crowd jumping up and down in a trance, arms waving wildly. The Portuguese ambassadors of kuduro definitely increased their following for their uptempo Angola-rooted dance music fusing hard techno beats with Afro-Caribbean tinges. The pulse climaxed as the coral-lipped MC, who was clad in a one-piece leopard print bodysuit, lured fans into a sing-a-long of their brand new single "We Stay Up All Night." Seemed like most everyone planned on it. - Mary Polizzotti
The palpable anticipation for Chromeo surrounded the main stage where there was zero space to spare, and the Montreal-based electro-funk duo hardly disappointed. Their 45-minutes mixed older faves like "Bonafied Lovin" with more recent tunes like "Don't Turn the Lights On." But it really didn't matter what they chose to play as the electric guitar plus talkbox action plus synth beats produced a smooth and sexy set that drew the crowd into one massive '80s dance party. Talk about two cool cats. - Mary Polizzotti
It's really hard to pogo and take notes, but I tried. There's just no way to avoid bouncing dutifully at the climax of a Cut Copy song. Sure, there's various levels of foreplay, like when lead singer Dan Whitford authoritatively warns that "there's something in the air tonight," or "loud speakers sound like disco lights" in "Hearts on Fire" and "Pharoahs and Pyramids," respectively. But then some euphoric dance pulse inevitably kicks in, like the most reliable lover you've ever had, and the ground becomes a trampoline. With all due respect to Empire of the Sun, these Aussie party masters really should have been in the headlining slot on Saturday; their songs are just emotionally and physically draining anthems, one after another. If you're calves were sore on Sunday, blame Cut Copy. If you felt unsatisfied, may god have mercy on your soul. –Chris Trenchard
Talk about peacocking. Empire of the Sun lead singer Luke Steel came out in feathered headdress and Eyes Wide Shut mask to close Saturday with some performance art spectacle and plenty of WTF-factor. A team of interpretive dancers punched and air-drummed their way through a brief and thoroughly bizarre set, acting everything out and mimicking someone's opium dream. Their two-act set came equipped with costume changes and makeup and some fairly catchy pop songs. But we couldn't shed the feeling that this was the wrong time and place for this, the Saturday headlining slot being the place where righteous dance acts such as LCD Soundsystem and Justice have occupied and thrived. Or maybe it was just an accelerated hangover from that Cut Copy set, a tough act to follow for any band. –Chris Trenchard

After slamming eastern Cuba early Thursday as a bigger, stronger and deadlier storm than expected, Hurricane Sandy churned toward what could be a wicked Halloween eve visit to the northeastern United States from a massive hybrid weather system quickly dubbed "Franken-storm."
Sandy was weakening but still expected to generate at least one more day of nasty weather across South Florida, with storms and tropical storm-force gusts brushing the coast Friday -- conditions bad enough for many schools in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties to cancel classes. (Friday was already a teacher work-day in Dade and Broward public schools.)
But the state will likely escape mostly unscathed from a hurricane that left a growing death toll and a trail of collapsed buildings and bridges, shredded roofs, ruined crops and flooded hospitals across three Caribbean countries and the Bahamas. The death count leapt to 21 on Thursday -- one in Jamaica, 11 in Cuba, and nine in Haiti, which endured another day of nonstop rain, flooding and mudslides.
In Cuba, the dead included a 4-month-old boy and an 84-year-old-man, according to state-run television.
Reading a report from Cuba's Civil Defense, an announcer on Cuba's nightly newscast said nine of the deaths were in Santiago province and the other two in Guantanamo. Most of the deaths occurred, according to the newscasts, when homes collapsed.
Bands of rain from Sandy were still affecting central and eastern Cuba Thursday night, causing flooding along the southern coast of Guantanamo province. Cuba's Institute of Meteorology said flooding was also expected on the north coast from Holguin to Villa Clara. Civil defense Col. Miguel Angel Puig said Sandy's intense rain could affect 200,000 people in Cuba.
At 11 p.m. EDT on Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said the storm, looked more ragged. Its sustained winds fell to 90-mph, Category 1 strength, as it passed Eleuthera Island in the northwestern Bahamas.
In Cuba, the heaviest damage appeared to be in the Holguin province and the historic city of Santiago de Cuba, close to where Sandy intensified in the hours just before roaring ashore at the Mar Verde beach area as a powerful Category 2 storm with estimated 115 mph winds.
Residents emerged Thursday to survey widespread damage: flattened or partially collapsed homes in some areas, smashed windows in tall buildings, splintered power poles and roads blocked by debris. There were no confirmed reports of deaths.
A damage report broadcast Thursday on Cubavision, Cubavision Internacional and Radio Habana Cuba showed Holguin residents wading through waist-deep water trying to salvage items from flooded homes and hundreds of bags of sodden flour inside a Santiago food warehouse that had lost its roof. Television towers and power poles were left splintered.
Ado San, a journalist reporting from Santiago, said, "The panorama here is very difficult, very sad, very hard."
Jose Rubiera, head forecaster at Cuba's Institute of Meteorology, called the damage "grave," saying that Sandy had defied typical behavior as it crossed Cuba's mountainous terrain.
"The curious thing is that Sandy scarcely weakened" as it crossed the Sierra Maestra, he said. At La Gran Piedra, a 63,000-ton boulder perched above the Caribbean just east of Santiago, he said wind gusts of up to 152 mph were recorded.
"The hurricane really hit us hard," Norje Pupo, a 66-year-old retiree in Holguin told The Associated Press as he helped his son remove a downed tree in the garden. "As you can see, we were very affected. The houses are not poorly made here, but some may have been damaged."
Cuba's Civil Defense said damages were being assessed in the three hardest hit provinces -- Santiago de Cuba, Holguin and Guantanamo -- and that vital services would be reestablished as soon as possible. Radio Rebelde, the state-controlled station, reported that President Raul Castro expected to visit the hard-hit region soon. Castro said he sent a "message of hope to Santiagueros" and asked residents to "have confidence in the Revolution because it won't leave anyone abandoned."
At the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo, crews were cleaning up after Sandy took out the power, damaged some windows, took out a pier and damaged sailboats used by sailors.
In Haiti, government officials were still assessing damages but information coming into the United Nations Stabilization Mission painted a grim picture in a country still reeling from Tropical Storm Isaac in August.
A second day of relentless rains brought down a bridge and a cholera treatment center, triggered landslides and flooded hospitals and homes. Some roadways remained impassable, leaving communities cut off.
Edgard Celestin, a spokesman for the disaster office, reported a sharp increase in the death toll from two on Wednesday. Overall, nine people have died in Haiti: five in the hard-hit southern region, three in the west and one in Grand Anse.
In Jamaica, authorities reported downed trees and power lines and half the island was without power. At least one death was reported on the island, a man crushed by a boulder.
Jack Bevan, a senior hurricane specialist at the NHC, said Sandy surprised forecasters by quickly gaining power in the short crossing between Jamaica and Cuba, its sustained winds jumping 15 to 20 mph in the hours just before landfall in Cuba. Such rapid intensifications remain difficult to predict, he said, and it happened despite Sandy crossing mountainous Jamaica and enduring increasing wind shear that frequently weakens storms.
Bevan, who wrote the NHC advisory as Sandy neared Cuba, had cautioned that Sandy could intensify -- but it "strengthened significantly faster than we thought."
Sandy's pounding waves continued to erode beaches along much of the coast and gusts of 40-mph-plus winds began causing some minor power outages in South Florida Thursday evening. But forecasters expect conditions to begin easing late Friday as Sandy leaves the Bahamas and begins to veer off the Florida coast. The National Weather Service's Miami office predicts breezy but sunny weather for the weekend.
As winds drop in South Florida, however, there is increasing concern about the damage Sandy will inflict farther north when it reaches the Mid-Atlantic states, where it will meet frigid air shooting down from Canada and a winter storm sweeping to the east. Many meteorologists expect the systems to blend into a broad, messy monster that could bring 70 mph winds, extreme flooding tides, freezing rain and maybe even snow along much of the East Coast.
The center of the NHC's track brings the remnants of Sandy to the New Jersey coast sometime Tuesday, a day before Halloween, but Bevan said anywhere from the coast of Virginia to Nova Scotia was potentially at risk.
"Even if it stays offshore, it's got such a gigantic wind field that there are going to be widespread impacts," he said.
Craig Fugate, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, posted a caution on his Twitter account:
"If you live on the U.S. East Coast, keep an eye on this storm."
Miami Herald staff writer Carol Rosenberg reported from Guantanamo and staff writer Jacqueline Charles reported from Port-au-Prince. Staff writers Elinor Brecher and Charles Rabin also contributed to this story. Curtis Morgan and Mimi Whitefield are based in Miami.

A Halloween use for Microsoft's Kinect? Murder
Microsoft's been busy today promoting non-gaming uses for its Kinect motion-sensing controller. The folks at the software giant's developer division have come up with one that isn't sanctioned by the company: murder.
Channel 9, the Microsoft group that evangelizes its products to developers, posted its annual Halloween video over the weekend, one of the most anticipated offerings from a unit that mostly produces technical how-to programs. This year's effort is a blood-spattering short titled, Kinect to Kill.

Parts of New York City were submerged under water as high as 13 feet, flooding a number of subway stations and causing blackouts. Sandy made landfall in New Jersey Monday night near...Oct 30, 2012 | Story
New York City authorities promise the island home to 12,000 New York City prisoners sits on land high enough to withstand a Category 4 hurricane. But advocates told Democracy Now! they are still concerned that Rikers Island is not being evacuated, given the size of the Frankenstorm that is Hurricane Sandy. They also point to prison officials' failure to communicate clearly with inmates and their families last year during Hurricane Irene.Oct 29, 2012 | Web Exclusive
Much of the East Coast is shut down today as residents prepare for Hurricane Sandy, a massive storm that could impact up to 50 million people from the Carolinas to Boston. The storm has already killed 66 people in the Caribbean, where it battered Haiti and Cuba. "This thing is stitched together from elements natural and unnatural, and it seems poised to cause real havoc," says Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org. New York and other cities...Oct 29, 2012 | Story
Hurricane Isaac has made landfall in southern Louisiana as it heads toward New Orleans on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Category 1 storm is producing winds of at least 80 miles per hour and is expected to bring heavy flooding. It marks the most serious test of New Orleans' rebuilt levees. At least 200,000 people have lost power throughout the Gulf Coast area, and some 50,000 were slated to evacuate New Orleans. We go...Aug 29, 2012 | Story
In Wake of Irene, Rural New Yorkers Turn to Community-Run "Watershed Post" Website as Prime News Hub
A growing tropical depression that could drop 15 inches of rain on the Gulf Coast this weekend comes just a week after Hurricane Irene devastated parts of the East Coast. We look at one of the hardest-hit areas: the Catskills region of New York. While flood waters have largely receded, the cleanup and rebuilding effort has just begun and will take months. At least 600 homes and 140,000 acres of farmland have been destroyed. State officials estimate...Sep 02, 2011 | Story -
As Hurricane Irene bore down on Vermont on Sunday, the national media missed the story. Across the state, rivers rose to record levels, washing away 200-year-old covered bridges, communications and roads. Residents across the state lost internet. Radio Vermont WDEV broadcasters Ken Squier, Eric Michaels, Lee Kittell, Tom Beardsley and the station meteorologist Roger Hill stayed on the air for 24 straight hours, providing a link to stranded citizens...Aug 30, 2011 | Story
Emergency officials say at least 22 people across eight states may have died as a result of Hurricane Irene, which spanned more than 500 miles at some points. After making landfall in North Carolina on Saturday, the hurricane was downgraded first to a tropical storm and then to a post-tropical cyclone as it hit New York City, flooding waterfronts and low-lying areas. Up to four million customers from North Carolina to Maine remain without electricity....Aug 29, 2011 | Story
Hurricane Irene received a massive amount media coverage, but television reports made little or no reference to the role global warming played in the storm. We speak with someone with his eye on climate change and its impact. "We've had not only this extraordinary flooding, but on the same day that Hurricane Irene was coming down, Houston set its all-time temperature record, 109 degrees," says Bill McKibben, co-founder and director...Aug 29, 2011 | Story
Hurricane Irene caused significant beach erosion as it made landfall at North Carolina's Outer Banks, a 200-mile-long string of barrier islands. It also crashed into the Jersey Shore, Long Island and other popular East Coast beaches this weekend. Many of these areas are filled with high-priced oceanfront real estate, and the battle to save these beaches and communities costs billions of dollars each year. We speak with Ben Kalina, who was...Aug 29, 2011 | Story
Even though Hurricane Irene prompted a series of extraordinary measures in New York City — a complete shutdown of the public transit system and mass evacuations on an unprecedented scale — officials did not take any steps to evacuate some 12,000 prisoners held in a city jail on Rikers Island. According to the New York City Department of Corrections website, more than three-quarters of Rikers Island's 400 acres are built on landfill,...Aug 29, 2011 | Story

The Clay Center's Avampato Discovery Museum's greatest educational resource is its art collection. The Permanent Collection of Art is accessible year-round to visitors, students and researchers. The collection consists of more than 800 pieces of art.
You can also view them all online!
Members of the
Collectors Club
purchase a new artwork for the Collection each year. While the collection consists primarily of works on paper by American artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, charming examples of
outdoor sculpture
and other mediums offer diversity and exposure to broad cultural topics.
Chuck Close
(b. 1940)
Phil II
Handmade paper, 1982
A photo realist painter, Chuck Close specializes in large portraits using photographs projected onto canvas. He creates huge portraits in various media, with careful attention to detail in every section of the composition. The hundreds of small monochromatic pigment squares, which comprise this image of the avant-garde minimalist image of the avant-garde minimalist composer, Philip Glass, were placed in the paper pulp prior to pressing it through a grid screen and then dried.
1987 Purchase by Sunrise Collectors Club
Joseph Hirsch (1910 - 1981)
Masseur Tom
Oil on canvas, 1933
The powerful working style of Joseph Hirsch placed him at the forefront of twentieth century social realist painters. Inspiration for his art came from everyday events and ordinary people. In 1932, Hirsch studied with George Luks, a member of "The Eight" also know as the Ashcan School. It was from Luks that Hirsch acquired his brisk painting style and accurate draftsmanship. Shortly after Luks died in 1933, Hirsch, at age 24, painted this life-size portrait, which brought Hirsch to national attention.
1999 Purchase by Sunrise Collectors Club
Portrait of Henry Gibbs
oil on canvas, 1670
In colonial New England, portraits were painted to honor the memory of a patron or to highlight one's social standing. Only two dozen mid-seventeenth century colonial American paintings exist in public and private collections today. Included in this group are the portraits of Robert, Margaret and Henry Gibbs who were children of Robert Gibbs, a Boston merchant. Henry Gibbs, seen in this portrait, was the youngest Gibbs child. He was 1½ years old when this portrait was painted. The anonymous artist who painted the three Gibbs portraits was trained in the Elizabethan style of painting practiced in England and colonial America. This style traditionally depicted subjects in a semi-frontal pose with elongated proportions. It also dictated that the subject's head be slightly tilted with the eyes gazing directly at the viewer. Luminous shadows and detailed surface ornamentation of clothing were also typical of this style.

Although you may be 45km from Murcia City you will be on the fringe of San Javier - a bustling town (regrettably with a lot of expat' development).On the fringes of San Javier is the delightful resort of Santiago de la Ribera (Murcia). There, you will find the lovely two-star Hotel Ribera (00 34 968 570 200, hotelribera.com, doubles from €42) which looks across a delightful little prom abutting Mar del Menor (the biggest saltwater lagoon in Europe) where the sea is the warmest on the coast. If you can't get in there, I've found the tourist office for Santiago (+968 571 70, email@example.com) to be tremendously helpful.

By GalTime's Resident Geek, Andrea Eldridge
geeks are greatMost people think of goofy looking guys in horn rimmed glasses when they think of geeks, or nerdy businesspeople, like the quintessential geek, Bill Gates.
These stereotypes completely embody a "nerd" persona in our minds eye, but rarely you think of a computer-savvy successful person as feminine (unless you consider the onslaught of mad talented women in the blogging world) - but that is about to change!
The powerful and talented women who make up the list below are in no particular order, because geeks don't have to be better than each other when they're better than everyone else!
EBay Maven: Marsha Collier is well-known for building a career off a website - something only a geek would do. In the early days of eBay, she became one of the site's most well-known sellers. She used the money she made from her efforts there to put her daughter through school as well as college. She's written a number of books on her success and how to replicate it. For those interested in making a career out of eBaying, you might want to check out her "Starting an eBay Business for Dummies." Recently, she's become active online, and has been ranked as one of Forbes' Top 50 Social Media Influencers, is listed on the top 12 Twitter accounts to follow in 2012, as well as on the 100 Most Powerful Women on Twitter.
Related: Real Ways to Make Money Online
Actress by day, Blogger by night: No list of female techies and geeks would be complete without Felicia Day. While she did not build her career around the culture, she has certainly used her fame to push computer-lover interests. She started as an actress, and has since branched into blogging atfeliciaday.com/blog, tweeting @feliciaday, and promoting the acceptance of women within the traditionally male-dominated internet and techie culture.
Reporter, Tech Expert: Maegan Carberry first rose to prominence as a reporter and columnist for the Chicago Tribune, then becoming Chief of Staff for the Huffington Post, a major news organization. She has been heavily involved with Rock the Vote, which aims to use modern technology and tools to help promote social activism in a younger population. She has a large following on Twitter, where she continues to promote political activism and social media use in an evolving technological world. She currently serves as "viral curator" for Upworthy, a position which requires her to stay ahead of the game of the internet and to be a progressive face of technology. Her cat also tweets! @KittyScarlettO
Related: 5 Myths About Starting Your Own Business
Social Buzz: Shelly Kramer has been consistently listed as one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the field of social media. She's had mentions on Forbes as well as other well-known publications for being such a driving force. She has worked in marketing for more than twenty years and is the founder of V3 Integrated Marketing as well as Kramer & Co. She describes herself as the "Chief Imagination Officer," because as she says on her corporate bio "if you can or want to imagine something incredibly happening with regard to your business, she's the one you want to rely on to make it happen."
Fictional, but noteworthy: Despite being fictional, Liz Lemon is one of our heroes for geeky women in the workplace. She's smart, funny, and can't get enough Star Wars references in her life. She's a hero for women trying to make their way in the business world all over America. And her real-life counterpart, Tina Fey, is just as adept as her character. Always staying true to her geeky upbringing, she's established a name for herself as one of the funniest people in the entertainment business, and has won multiple Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and a multitude of other accolades.
That's just a few of the female nerdy bloggers, businesswomen, and entrepreneurs who have made it big by embracing their own uniqueness. Don't be afraid to be labeled as a geek or a nerd! Great things come out of being exactly who you are!

The Black Swan: Second Edition: The Impact of the Highly Improbable: With a new section: "On Robustness and Fragility" (Hardcover)
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives.
Why do we not acknowledge the phenomenon of black swans until after they occur? Part of the answer, according to Taleb, is that humans are hardwired to learn specifics when they should be focused on generalities. We concentrate on things we already know and time and time again fail to take into consideration what we don't know. We are, therefore, unable to truly estimate opportunities, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify, narrate, and categorize, and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the "impossible."
For years, Taleb has studied how we fool ourselves into thinking we know more than we actually do. We restrict our thinking to the irrelevant and inconsequential, while large events continue to surprise us and shape our world. In this revelatory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don't know, and this second edition features a new philosophical and empirical essay, "On Robustness and Fragility," which offers tools to navigate and exploit a Black Swan world.
Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world. Taleb is a vastly entertaining writer, with wit, irreverence, and unusual stories to tell. He has a polymathic command of subjects ranging from cognitive science to business to probability theory. The Black Swan is a landmark book—itself a black swan.
Praise for Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"The most prophetic voice of all."—GQ
Praise for The Black Swan
"[A book] that altered modern thinking."—The Times (London)
"A masterpiece."—Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired, author of The Long Tail
"Idiosyncratically brilliant."—Niall Ferguson, Los Angeles Times
"The Black Swan changed my view of how the world works."—Daniel Kahneman, Nobel laureate
"[Taleb writes] in a style that owes as much to Stephen Colbert as it does to Michel de Montaigne. . . . We eagerly romp with him through the follies of confirmation bias [and] narrative fallacy."—The Wall Street Journal
"Hugely enjoyable—compelling . . . easy to dip into."—Financial Times
"Engaging . . . The Black Swan has appealing cheek and admirable ambition."—The New York Times Book Review
About the Author
Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge, and he has led three high-profile careers around his ideas, as a man of letters, as a businessman-trader, and as a university professor. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's Polytechnic Institute. His work has been published in thirty-three languages.
