Chauvigny Church
With fascinating Romanesque sculptures and a spectacular location in a medieval town overlooking a river, the collegiate church of St-Pierre de Chauvigny is well worth a visit. It is located just 23 km east of Poitiers in western France.
The history of St-Pierre is not terribly clear. A chapter of ten canons is mentioned in records of the early 11th century, indicating there was an earlier church on the site. At that time the Bishop of Poitiers was lord of Chauvigny (one of the town's five castles was built for him) and the canons of St-Pierre were under his authority.
The present church was probably built over the course of about a century, from 1130 to 1230, starting at the east end.
The church was badly damaged in the Wars of Religion and was privately owned after the Revolution, but several restoration campaigns were undertaken in the 19th century.
What to See
St-Pierre de Chauvigny is Late Romanesque in style with some Gothic elements (including the cornice at the top of the bell tower and the pointed arches at the west end of the nave). It stands cozily on a small medieval street, its east side facing the center of town.
The radiating east chapels have unusual lid-shaped roofs and an attractive little turret has a conical roof with the fish-scale design seen also at Notre-Dame-la-Grande in Poitiers. The corbels of the chevet are carved with a variety of human and animal figures.
Decorative reliefs adorn the chapel windows and some archaic sculptures taken from the earlier church have been inserted in the chapel roofs. One of the window arches is carved with an alphabet.
Entrance is at the west end of the church, from which there is a fine view over the town (including another Romanesque church) below.
Once your eyes adjust to the unusual red-and-white paint job from 1856 (recently restored), the elegant architecture of the interior can be appreciated. Like many other churches in Poitou it is a "hall church," meaning that the side aisles are almost as tall as the nave.
The interior is illuminated by windows set high in the aisles rather than a clerestory above the nave, which is topped by a barrel vault. The transverse arches of the vault become increasingly pointed towards the west end of the nave, which was built last, around 1230 when the Gothic style was beginning to emerge.
There are some notable capitals in the crossing, including a lion and a mermaid.
The greatest attraction of Chauvigny Church is in the choir, where the columns of the ambulatory are decorated with a set of fascinating capitals sculpted by one Gofridus. The imaginative sculptor left his signature in an inscription above the Adoration of the Magi capital: GOFRIDUS ME FECIT ("Gofridus made me"). The images he carved are naive in style and rather odd in subject. Starting from the left (north) side and working clockwise, the eight capitals depict:

Cambridge Consultants brings the 'connected patient' concept to life
Wireless medical device that connects patients to doctors and online applications offers improved compliance, better outcomes, and reduced long-term treatment costs
Cambridge Consultants has today unveiled technology to connect patients and their treatment devices, such as inhalers, with healthcare support professionals and a range of online applications. This 'connected patient' technology can allow healthcare specialists to monitor medication adherence, reduce long-term treatment costs, and improve patient access to, and interaction with, healthcare providers. Cambridge Consultants is displaying a Vena-enabled demonstration, implementing the standards selected by the Continua Health Alliance device, at the Respiratory Drug Delivery Europe 2009 (RDD Europe) conference in Lisbon on 19-22 May 2009.
"The idea behind the 'connected patient' is to enable seamless data transfer using wireless technologies, from patient monitoring or treatment devices to a patient's healthcare network - a physician's office or online medical support applications, for example - to encourage patients to follow their planned treatment regime," said David Blakey, Head of Drug Delivery at Cambridge Consultants. "Using connected medical devices to close the loop between a patient and their healthcare provider can facilitate increased compliance, enable better therapy results, and may ultimately reduce long-term treatment costs."
To illustrate its connected patient concept, Cambridge Consultants is demonstrating an inhaler concept for improving compliance at RDD (Europe). Enabled by the company's Vena wireless healthcare device platform, the system connects through a personal computer or smart phone to an online personal healthcare application, and can remind the patient to take their treatment and send compliance information to the relevant personal healthcare portal. Both patient and healthcare specialist can access the secure information to monitor progress and connect with one another.
Non-patient-specific data from a population of users can also be aggregated to provide medical researchers, insurance providers and even policy makers with information to better evaluate a therapy's efficacy, improve patient outcomes and lower costs. Pharmaceutical companies with new therapies in Phase IV trials can directly access usage data to demonstrate and document compliance, correlating ongoing use with improved outcomes.
Connecting the patient and their therapy with the broader healthcare community makes possible a number of other new and valuable applications that would support the patient and ensure proper monitoring and treatment. Michael Dunkley, Vice President at Cambridge Consultants' US office, explains, "Parents of children or carers caring for seniors can monitor compliance and be alerted if a therapy is not being followed correctly. Both patients and caregivers can also be directly rewarded with appropriate incentives for achieving increased compliance. Moreover, they can link into consumer Web 2.0 healthcare communities, perhaps sharing information or getting encouragement from others. The system can also enable remote monitoring to facilitate early detection of potential problems and lead to proactive intervention."
The wireless technology at the core of the connected patient concept is based on Cambridge Consultants' Vena wireless healthcare device platform, which implements the standards selected by the Continua Health Alliance to empower patients to manage health and wellness anytime, anywhere. It embeds the Bluetooth™ Health Device Profile (HDP) optimised for the secure transport of medical data, onto a single chip at an affordable price. Vena also offers the IEEE11073 standards for compatible exchange of information between health devices, and for this demonstration uses the medication monitor device specialisation. Cambridge Consultants is making Vena available as a reference design at a fixed price for clients to use as the basis for their own wireless healthcare device development, supported by design and development services as required.

Founded in 2004, the management of 10Pearls has the experience, expertise, and passion to succeed. The management has managed highly scalable technology projects and implementations across Fortune 500 companies and start-up ventures, including: AOL, Time Warner, NVR, Spacenet, MicroStrategy, Paxfire, and the Asian Pacific Institute of Technology.

Strategic Location
10Pearls is strategically located in the Washington DC area, and has offices in Karachi, Pakistan and Istanbul, Turkey. Pakistan is the 6th largest country in the world, and shares the same colonial history as India. Much like India, Pakistan's population speaks English by virtue of being a British colony, is well-educated in technology and has a very strong work ethic. However, unlike India, Pakistan has a labor pool that is not super-saturated as there are no large firms like Wipro, Accenture, Microsoft, Oracle, etc contending for the labor pool. 10Pearls maintains a high retention rate within its employee base, thus, providing higher quality work, at much more affordable pricing relative to India, Argentina or other locations. 10Pearls provides world class senior architects, leads and project management function through its Washington DC location, ensuring success from day one.

China's most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.
Protests against the Japanese government's purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities. Some carried signs that read "Kill all Japanese," and "Fight to the Death" over disputed islands. One sign urged China to threaten a nuclear strike against Japan.
Gen. Xu Caihou, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, considered the most senior military political commissar, said Friday that military forces should be "prepared for any possible military combat," state run Xinhua news agency reported.
Heightened tensions over the Senkakus come as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta arrived in China Monday.
Panetta, in comments made in Japan shortly before traveling to China, said, "We are concerned by the demonstrations, and we are concerned by the conflict that is taking place over the Senkaku islands."
"The message I have tried to convey is we have to urge calm and restraint on all sides," he said, noting any "provocation" could produce a "blow up."
Panetta repeated the U.S. position that it is neutral in the dispute over Japan's Senkaku islands, a small chain of islets located south of Okinawa and north of Taiwan. But he also reaffirmed the U.S. defense commitment to Japan, a treaty ally.
"We stand by our treaty obligations," Panetta said, echoing a similar commitment made during a 2010 standoff between Beijing and Tokyo over the Senkakus. "They're longstanding, and that has not changed."
China claims the islands as its territory and calls them the Diaoyu islands.
Last week, following the Japanese government's purchase of three of the Senkakus from private Japanese owners, six Chinese maritime security ships were deployed near the Senkaku islands, further heightening tensions.
Xu's unusual comments followed reports in state-controlled Chinese media that opposed the Japanese government's purchase of the three islands.
Xu said during a visit to military units near Taiyuan, in the northern province of Shanxi, "efforts should be made to ensure that the military is capable of resolutely performing its duty to safeguard the country's national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity whenever it is needed by the Party and the people."
A U.S. official said the PLA's most senior political general rarely makes such direct appeals to troops to prepare for combat.
Panetta told reporters en route to Japan, the first stop on a three-nation visit to Asia, "The United States does not take a position with regards to territorial disputes."
In 2010, then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates invoked the U.S.-Japan defense treaty when tensions between China and Japan increased over Tokyo's arrest of a Chinese fishing captain who rammed his boat against a Japanese coast guard vessel in waters near the Senkakus. Gates said the United States would "fulfill our alliance responsibilities" toward Japan.
Japan's Coast Guard announced on Sept. 14 that six Chinese maritime patrol vessels sailed into Japanese-controlled waters near the Senkakus and the vessels ignored Japanese warnings for the ships to leave the area.
Other reports from China on Monday showed a convoy of hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels sailing toward the disputed islands.
The six Chinese ships entered Japanese waters near the island on Friday, and ignored Japanese coast guard orders for them to vacate what it said was its territorial waters.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that six of its surveillance ships had entered the waters near the islands.
China's aggressiveness in maritime disputes has garnered little attention in the presidential election campaign.
On Monday, President Obama criticized GOP nominee Mitt Romney for his attack on the administration for being soft on China through its weak response to China's trade and currency policies.
The Chinese maritime warships near the Senkakus were reported last week by Xinhua as "routine patrols" near the islands to "assert the country's sovereignty and protect fishermen."
"The Diaoyou Islands and their affiliated islets have been China's inherent territory since ancient times, and their surrounding waters are China's traditional fishing ground," the report said.
A classified Chinese government map from 1969 that was obtained by Japan's government shows Beijing had labeled the islands as "Senkaku," their Japanese name, and thus confirmed their control by Tokyo. The map, which was viewed by the Free Beacon, also had a dividing line south of the islands showing that they fall within Japanese territory.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R., Fla.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said during a hearing last week that China's behavior toward regional states was tantamount to bullying.
"While the world's attention was turned to other crises, including Iran's nuclear program and concerns over the faltering Euro, China has upped the ante, playing the role of a schoolyard bully towards its maritime neighbors," Ros-Lehtinen said.
"From one end to the other of the South China Sea, Beijing has increased both in belligerence and bellicosity."
Ros-Lehtinen said the United States, through the Navy, will stand by friends and allies in the region.
The Florida Republican said China is seeking to control the South China Sea and other coastal waters and sealanes because they are "central to the Chinese communist mandarins' aspirations to re-establish the Middle Kingdom as the dominant power in Asia."
"Whoever controls these sea lanes can dominate Asia—and beyond—by choking off that commerce and oil shipments to the major stakeholders in the Asian economic miracle," she said.
Chinese efforts to dominate the western Pacific are increasing the possibility of naval clashes, Ros-Lehtinen said.
"Other global crises must not distract from our vital national interests in the South China Sea and the western Pacific," she said during a hearing.

We installed an RO filter at our office. Instead of using the provided saddle valve, we installed a tee at the end of the cold water hose where it attached to the faucet and reduced one of the outlets to fit the 1/4" compression fitting. Whenever the RO filter is refilling the tank there is a loud humming noise coming from the water pipe. It is possible the humming will stop if I use a saddle valve instead of the reducer on the tee?
Saddle valves are a disaster waiting to happen. I'd avoid using one. Not sure what is causing the humming. It may be normal with that unit. What is your water pressure? It could be higher than recommended for the filter. Rather than that T, they do make dual outlet shutoff valves. It might be quite easy to replace the shutoff.

Santa Rosa as Ready it's Going to Get |
Clubs - Men's DII Clubs |
Santa Rosa alone is carrying the Northern California torch to Glendale this year. If you include the Super League, Northern California has had at least two teams represented in the semifinals of the men's club playoffs four of the last five seasons. Coming from a region that regards itself as the nation's rugby hotbed, it's important to Santa Rosa they uphold that reputation. "We feel there's more pressure on us because of that," said Santa Rosa coach Alan Petty. "We feel there's pretty good rugby out here, and the other teams all got popped, so we're it right now." Santa Rosa nearly got popped a couple of times this postseason. Perhaps no one has navigated a tougher road to Glendale. They beat ORSU by just 12 in the Pacific Coast semis, Snake River by six in the final, 2010 runners-up Albuquerque by two in the Round of 16 and West champs Omaha by 13 in the national quarterfinal for an average postseason winning margin of just 8.5. Snake River went on to nearly make the semifinals, too, but wound up on the wrong end of a four-overtime thriller against the San Diego Old Aztecs. "Our guys have played in a tough rugby game or two," Petty commented, and his guys have come through that gauntlet largely healthy. The coach said every player who he'd want to take to Glendale is healthy enough to play, if not at full strength. Petty also says he's done his homework on Rocky Gorge, who Santa Rosa faces in the semifinal, and that his team is as prepared as it can be. In addition to scouting Rocky Gorge, Petty's talked to the folks at Fresno and SFGG, who have represented NorCal, and lost their first games, in the DII final four the last two years, to find out what to expect in self-dubbed "Rugbytown, USA". "They were beat by better teams, any body who gets to the final four, they're a great rugby team. We've got to bring our A-team both matches," he said.s "We know what (Rocky Gorge's) strengths and weaknesses are. Everybody has a plan, as Mike Tyson used to say, until they get punched in the nose. We'll see how we are once we get punched in the nose." |

BBS Breed Spotlight - The New AKC Breeds Pt 5 of 6 - Norwegian Lundehund
Last week the Breed Spotlight looked at the very unique Xolo and this week Best Bully Sticks looks at another very unique breed, the Norwegian Lundehund. Just keep reading to find about this surprising breed!
History & Background: The Norwegian Lundehund was used as a Puffin hunter in arctic Norway and has gained many interesting physical traits over time because of this. This dog wrestled and retrieved the birds from the crevices of steep vertical cliffs. When the Puffin bird became a protected species in the 1800s, the dogs were no longer of use to the farmers and breed number dwindled. During WWII two concerned Norwegians saved the breed yet numbers are still limited today.
Height: 13-15 inches (male), 12-14 inches (female)
Weight: 13-20 pounds
Coat: The Norwegian Lundehund has a double coat with a hard outer coat and a dense, soft undercoat. This dogs fur is short on the head and the front of the legs and longer and thicker around the neck and the back of the thighs. Hair on the tail is plentiful and is feathered. The males have even more fur around their neck.
Color: Sandy brown (fallow) to reddish brown to tan with black tips and white markings, or white with red or dark markings. More black comes out in this breeds hair the older this dog gets. Read more

Then she shrugs it off.
While serving with the Dunbar Police Department, she met her husband, William, who was also an officer there. He is now retired. They are the parents of Noah, 25, a certified public accountant who lives in Washington, D.C. He came home to see his mother promoted to captain and brought along his girlfriend.
When he was young, she left road patrol to work inside.
However, that doesn't mean there is no danger involved in her current position.
"Anybody could be in danger," she said. "After what happened to those troopers, I have told the guys to search every prisoner extra carefully. We don't want a prisoner with a gun to open fire. It has never happened and we don't want it to. We don't want that tragedy happening."
She feels fortunate that she has never had to pull her gun, but she is also aware that could change at any moment.
"We've had fights in here," she said. "I've been with six or seven prisoners by myself. As long as you follow procedures and are careful, hopefully everything is OK."
Sometimes those who walk through the doors of the annex need advice, information or reassurance.
"We ask people what they need and try to help them get to the right area," she said. "A lot of people have never been here. They might have a ticket or want to sue."
She has seen records move from handwritten to computerized and witnessed better equipment for officers. However, dealing with people has remained a constant.
When she isn't working, she enjoys staying busy in the community, such as working the concession stand at South Charleston High School athletic events. She has also sold Avon for 30 years. For a little down time, she grabs a good mystery to read.
Her advice to new police officers would be, "Don't give up. Hang in there. The hours are long and it can be tough. Some people are not the nicest and can be argumentative. But good things happen to those who wait. I believe that. I have worked hard to get here."
As for Walters, she has never questioned her decision to go into law enforcement and has no plans to leave.
"Why would I retire? We have the best bosses in the world right now."

New Hampshire 7
(1-1, 1-1 away)
Minnesota 44
(2-0, 1-0 home)
Coverage: BTN
12:00 PM ET, September 8, 2012
TCF Bank Stadium, MINNEAPOLIS, MN
Top Performers
Passing: M. Gray (MINN) - 100 YDS, 2 TD
Rushing: M. Gray (MINN) - 17 CAR, 109 YDS, 2 TD
Receiving: I. Fruechte (MINN) - 2 REC, 53 YDS, 1 TD
MINNEAPOLIS -- MarQueis Gray threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more by halftime, and Minnesota finally enjoyed an easy victory over an FCS-level opponent by beating New Hampshire 44-7 on Saturday, the most points in a game by the Gophers in five years.
Gray passed only eight times but completed six for 100 yards and scores to Isaac Fruechte and John Rabe. Gray also gained 109 yards on 17 rushing attempts, including a 75-yard untouched burst through the middle of the line for a momentum-swinging touchdown at the end of the first quarter.
Rittenberg: Gophers Cruise
For a Minnesota program that had dropped consecutive games to FCS foes (North Dakota State and South Dakota) and has rarely enjoyed easy wins of any kind in recent years, Saturday was pretty nice, writes Adam Rittenberg. Blog
Donnell Kirkwood ran for 70 yards and a third-quarter score on 17 carries for the Golden Gophers (2-0), who had lost three of their last five games against FCS teams.
Backup quarterback Andy Vailas was 18 for 34 for 158 yards and an interception for the Wildcats (1-1).
Gray took two sacks and fumbled three times but recovered all of them. He was on target with his passes, most importantly, after misfiring on several potential touchdown throws in the opener at UNLV. The Gophers had to rally and win 30-27 in triple overtime, in part because of Gray's early inaccuracy.
New Hampshire punter Mike MacArthur let a slightly high snap slip through his hands and pingpong out of the end zone for an early safety. Then his horse-collar penalty at the end of a strong tackle of Troy Stoudermire on the ensuing kickoff gave the Gophers the ball at the Wildcats' 27-yard line. Rabe, who had two touchdown catches in the first game, was wide open on a fade route that Gray threw perfectly for a 9-0 lead.
Then, immediately after New Hampshire's only score, Gray faked a handoff at his own 25, pivoted forward and sprinted into the end zone past the entire Wildcats defense. Gray scored from 11 yards out in the second quarter on the same play, slipping through a couple of tacklers, to give the Gophers a 30-7 lead. That's more points than they scored in any game last season. The final tally of 44 was their highest since a 49-48 loss to Northwestern in 2007.
New Hampshire beat Northwestern on the road in 2006 and actually won five straight games against FBS teams until losing at Pittsburgh in 2010. The Wildcats beat Holy Cross on the road 38-17 last week while rushing for 279 yards and entered the afternoon ranked 12th in the FCS coaches' poll. They've been to the FCS playoffs eight straight years.
Big Ten Blog
ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg and Brian Bennett write about all things Big Ten in the conference blog.
• Blog network: College Football Nation
But freshman quarterback Sean Goldrich, the Colonial conference rookie of the week, appeared to hurt his left shoulder at the end of a short run on New Hampshire's second play from scrimmage and was replaced by Valai, a sophomore. Except for an eight-play, 76-yard drive late in the first quarter capped by a touchdown run by Chris Setian, the Wildcats and their no-huddle offense were overwhelmed by the bigger, faster Gophers. New Hampshire finished with 68 yards rushing on 32 attempts.
The Wildcats failed on all four of their fourth-down conversions, and Valai was sacked four times in the first half.
Fruechte caught his first career touchdown pass from Gray, and so did A.J. Barker, in the fourth quarter from backup Max Shortell. Fruechte and Barker are part of a young, fast group of wide receivers the Gophers are counting on to help Gray improve on his sporadic performance in 2011, when the Gophers went 3-9 for the second straight season.
The Gophers lost to FCS national champion North Dakota State last year, South Dakota the season before and North Dakota State in 2007. Even their recent wins over FCS teams were ugly, by one point over North Dakota State in 2006 and by three points over South Dakota State in 2009. But the difference with the Wildcats is their roster isn't loaded with Minnesotans looking to upset the biggest school in the region.

Research Notes
Minnesota scored 16 points in the first quarter against New Hampshire.
The Golden Gophers hadn't scored that many points in the opening quarter since 2005 (20 points vs Florida Atlantic).
Last season, Minnesota only scored more points once all last season (20 points in second quarter of season finale against Illinois). |

Collecting Art
Oprah.com | August 10, 2007
Whether it's your own photographs or a piece you've purchased, it's important to incorporate some kind of art when you're decorating your space, Nate says. He talks with his friend Carrie Secrist of Chicago's Carrie Secrist Gallery about how to rid yourself of intimidation and develop an appreciation for art. Plus, Carrie shares some insights on how to begin collecting.
What's the best way to get involved with art?
Just by visiting galleries, Carrie says. Start by looking, and then, if you have the means, begin bringing some pieces home. Whether it's something you've found while traveling or a piece at a gallery or art fair, the best indicator is that you're in love with what you're buying and that it's a statement of who you are.
How do you know if a price is fair?
A piece's value is usually determined by its size, the medium in which it was created and the artist's history of exhibitions, Carrie says. If the piece is part of an edition, the price can be affected by the museums or private collections that also own it. To learn more about an artist, Carrie recommends researching online or asking the gallery for the artist's biography. If you're given an artist's statement rather than a bio, Carrie cautions that prices might be inflated.
What is an original piece of art?
An original piece is one of a kind, not part of an edition, Carrie says. However, a fine art print with hand-coloring by the artist is also an original piece, since there's not another one just like it.
Can you start a collection with a limited budget?
Even with as little as $50, you can find original works by younger artists—most likely drawings or other works on paper, Carrie says. With $100, she says, you might find a small painting, and with $500, a limited-edition photograph. If you're on a budget, Carrie recommends taking your own photographs and blowing them up to create personal works of art.
Ultimately, art's greatest value is what it means to you, Carrie says. "Art doesn't have to be a mystery," she says. "It's there to be seen, there for the viewer. Anything it inspires in you is what the truth is about the work."
