So Far I'm Extremely Happy with the Results
I had my first Pixel procedure done on my full face and 1/2 neck 6 days ago. I've noticed immediate results in skin blotchiness, as well as some improvement on acne scars.

Student Records
- Overview of Disciplinary Record Policies
- Record Retention & Reporting Policy
- Dean's Certifications & Background Checks
- Effects of a Conduct Record
Student Conduct & Disciplinary Records
The Office of Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution maintains all student disciplinary records pertaining to non-academic conduct matters. For more information about the retention and reporting of student disciplinary records, please see the link to the left.
Although having a conduct record can impact a student's eligibility for various campus positions and programs and an alum's application for grad school, employment, and professional licensing, in the vast majority of cases the effects of a conduct or disciplinary record will not be detrimental.
Dean Certifications & Background Checks
Some graduate & professional schools, employers (particularly the federal government), and state licensing agencies (particularly those administering the bar examination) require applicants to submit a "Dean's Certification" form or otherwise complete a background check that provides information on academic and disciplinary issues that students may have encountered while at Northwestern.
The Office of Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution (formerly Judicial Affairs) manages the Dean Certification and background check process for students, graduates, and alumni of Northwestern. See the link to the left for more information about this process.
Consent to Release Conduct Records
In addition to our other processes, students may sign a consent form authorizing the University to release or discuss the details of a student's conduct record or disciplinary incident. In the absence of a signed release, University policy generally directs us not to disclose or discuss specific details regarding a student's conduct or disciplinary incident with anyone outside the University - including parents - except in limited circumstances.
To the left, we have links to both a general consent form that students can use to authorize the release of information about a conduct or disciplinary matter, as well as several specific releases that are typically used for parents and dean certifications/background checks.

Ohio Bobcats team members celebrate after defeating the South Florida Bulls in the third round of the 2012 NCAA men's basketball tournament at Bridgestone Arena. The Bobcats beat the Bulls 62-56. / Don McPeak-US PRESSWIRE
From afar, the Ohio University mens basketball team seems to be dancing in Cinderellas slippers at the NCAA tournament. But the Bobcats still see the green-and-white high-tops they have worn all season.
Ohio (29-7) beat fourth-seeded Michigan and No. 12 seed South Florida to advance to Fridays regional semifinal against No. 1 North Carolina. That helped Ohio become the first state with four teams in the Sweet 16.
If you go into each individual program, its not their first rodeo, said former Xavier guard Dante Jackson, a graduate assistant for the Bobcats. Its not the first time this has happened, but its the first time this has happened all at the same time.
The Bobcats didnt bother to bring their white jerseys to Nashville because they were the highest seed in their foursome and would be the visiting team in any pairing. Including the Mid-American Conference tournament, Ohio has been the higher seed in four straight games.
So how does a mid-major team with no seniors that few pegged to win its own conference end up in the Sweet 16?
One answer lies in its Cincinnati-area ties.
Head coach John Groce gained invaluable tournament experience with Butler, Xavier and Ohio State while on Thad Mattas staff. Despite playing only three games because of lingering health problems, one-time Bearcat Kenny Belton adds a senior voice to the locker room.
Sophomore guard Ricardo Johnson, who provides energetic defense off the bench, won a Kentucky state title with Holmes.
When I committed to Ohio, I was given the impression that we were going to do something very special, Johnson said. With the experience that (Groce) had and Dante playing at Xavier, Im able to learn and take in some of the stuff they have been through.
Groce says the teams calling card is its defense. Two years after upsetting Georgetown and breaking the programs record for points in a season, Ohio has adopted a defense-first approach that emphasizes toughness and opportunism. The Bobcats are fourth in the nation in steals per game, sixth in turnover margin and one upset away from tying the MAC record for wins in a season.
Though the team has no seniors, junior point guard D.J. Cooper is in his third season as a starter and his second as the teams leading scorer. He already owns Ohios all-time assists record and is two steals away from breaking that mark, too.
Groce also attributes his teams new mindset to junior guard Walter Offutt, a transfer from Ohio State whom Groce calls a culture-changer. Offutt frequently draws offensive fouls, and the team is 18-0 when he scores at least 12 points.
He's as good as it gets with all the little intangibles, and he's a productive player as well, Groce said after Sundays third-round win. He's really affected our program at a high level and injected it with a lot of toughness and everyday-guy mentality that we've been looking for.
Though North Carolina is a perennial powerhouse and the top seed in the Midwest Region, Offutt said Ohio needs only to tarry the Tar Heels for 40 minutes to keep its memorable run going.
We have to go in there and remain humble, he said. We just have to know that our work is not done yet.

Ask and you shall receive.
Brendan Schaub called out Frank Mir after his win over Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 121 and it appears he will be getting his wish, as MMA Weekly brings news that a potential fight between the two is in the works for early next year, possibly in March.
According to the report, no date for the match-up has been verified but verbal agreements are in place and we're a couple John Hancock's away from a potential heavyweight slugfest.
This would represent a big jump up in competition for Schaub, who's won three straight in the world's largest fight promotion after Roy Nelson put him on queer street at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale one year ago.
"The Hybrid" was quoted as saying he "wants to get better" and the only way to do that is "to fight a guy like Frank Mir."
Despite his win streak, is this too much too soon?
Mir is coming off a timid third round knockout of fading legend Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic at UFC 119 that had company President Dana White so upset he decided to forgo awarded Frankie the "Knockout of the Night" bonus -- even though his huge knee resulted in the only knockout of the night.
White initially suggested feeding "Mur" to his hungry heavyweight megastar Brock Lesnar, but fans took to Twitter and expressed enough displeasure to convince the boss to back off.
Is a fight with Schaub a better alternative? Are you happy with what you've done?
The UFC has plans to hold events on both March 9 and March 30. It is expected this bout will take place on one of those cards, although it is still unconfirmed at this time.
Keep it locked to MMAMania.com for more as it becomes available.

Some Lessons from Transaction-Cost Politics for Less-Developed Countries
AbstractTransaction-cost politics views economic policy-making as a political process constrained by asymmetric information and limited commitment possibilities. This paper examines some implications of this perspective for less-developed countries (LDCs) considering policy reform. It emphasizes that success requires reform of the rules and institutions which govern the strategic interaction of the participants in the political game, and that reforms must cope with the special interests and asymmetric information which already exist. In this light, it examines some broad issues of the design of constitutions and institutions (definition and enforcement of property rights, control of inflation, and of government expenditures, federalism, and redistribution), as well as some specific issue of the design of organizations and incentives (problems posed by the interaction of multiple tasks and multiple interests, and their interaction with the limitations on auditing and administration that exists in many LDCs).

Joe Bruin wins Pac-12 Play of the Week (First time ever?)
Joe Bruin (aka ... ) was picked as the 5th best Pac-12 Play of the Week. Look for him at the 1:50 mark of the video.

Student Fitness Evaluation
Student Fitness Evaluation
Program Standards:
Students enrolled in all academic programs in the Graduate College must maintain high scholastic standards and develop a mastery of the knowledge and methods of their respective discipline. Students are expected to demonstrate emotional and mental fitness in their interactions with others, use skills and methods that are generally accepted by others in the profession, and conform to the code of ethics of their respective discipline, and the university's honor code. A student's acceptance in any program does not guarantee the student's fitness to remain in that program. The faculty is responsible for verifying that only those students who continue to meet program standards are allowed to continue in any program.
Evaluation of Student Fitness and Performance :
Members of the faculty, using their professional judgments, evaluate student fitness and performance continuously. The criteria used by the faculty to make such judgments include instructors' observations of student performance in class or in activities related to courses, evaluations of student performance on theses and practica, site supervisors' evaluations of student performance in practica, and the codes of ethics noted above. Students who are not making satisfactory progress or who are not meeting program standards should consider withdrawing from the program.
In this context, the term "satisfactory progress" refers to an academic judgment made regarding the student's fitness and performance. It is a judgment that the student has failed to meet program standards rather than a judgment made on the basis of the student's violation of valid rules of conduct. Disciplinary matters are referred to Student Justice..
Student Review Process :
If a faculty member believes that a student is not making satisfactory progress or meeting program standards, he or she should discuss the situation with the student. If the faculty member believes that the student's performance cannot improve to acceptable standards, the faculty member should refer the student to the Program Standards Committee of the appropriate department. The Program Standards Committee consists of three faculty members appointed by the department chair in consultation with the department's senior faculty. The Committee will notify the student of the reasons that he or she is not making satisfactory progress or meeting program standards and will give the student an opportunity to meet with the Committee to respond and to present information and witnesses to the committee. The Committee will also meet with the faculty member who referred the student to the Committee. After considering the matter, and within ten working days of meeting with the student, the Committee will report its decision to the student and the department Chair, stating that the student should either remain in or leave the program. The committee may make other decisions, such as placing restrictions or conditions on the student's continuing in the program. Within ten working days of receiving the Committee's decision, the student will notify the department Chair of the student's acceptance or rejection of the committee's decision. If the student rejects the committee's decision, he or she may appeal to the department Chair. Within ten working days of receiving the student's appeal, the Chair will make a decision as to the student's continued presence in the program. Before making the decision, the Chair will meet with the student. However, the Chair need not meet with the student before making a decision if the student was given a reasonable opportunity to meet, and the student either failed or refused to meet. The Chair will notify the student of the decision.
If the student is dissatisfied with the Chair's decision, he or she may appeal to the Dean of the
appropriate college. However, in order for the Dean to consider an appeal, the student must submit a
written notice of appeal to the Chair and the Dean within ten working days of receiving the Chair's
decision. The Dean will consider the matter based on information compiled by the Chair and notify the
student of the decision within ten working days of the Dean's receipt of the appeal from the Chair. The
Dean may meet with the student and give the student an opportunity to address the issues. The Dean's
decision is final.

"Commissioner Roger Goodell says if the NFL puts a team in Los Angeles, it is probable the league would expand to 34 franchises."
Several weeks ago the NFL and NFLPA went before the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and stated their case for why the NFL lockout is legal (NFL's argument) and why it is not legal (NFLPA's...
It's been widely reported that officials from the NFL and NFLPA met in Chicago on Wednesday and again on Thursday to discuss the NFL lockout. We thought at one point that the two sides had gotten...
Did anyone have a chance to listen to any of the conference call(s) to see if someone asked the Commissioner if the NFL is planning on implementing any other way for fans who can not get DirecTV to...
"As former Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable was attempting to lead his team to the playoffs, owner Al Davis began deducting $20,000 from each of his head coach's paychecks until he had withheld $120,000 in fines, according to team sources. In turn, Cable filed a grievance against his owner with the NFL, becoming the latest Raiders head coach to be embroiled in a financial dispute with his owner. Now NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will appoint an arbitrator to whom the Raiders and Cable will have to submit legal arguments and witnesses. The arbitrator then will make the final ruling."
"Who?" "Yawn!" "Do I Even Care?" Yes, you do, whether you realize it or not. The new head of the players' union was a dark horse candidate to say the least: a lawyer who was not a former player and relatively unknown in NFL circles. I'm sure Roger Goodell was licking his chops at the prospect of hornswoggling Troy Vincent or Trace Armstrong, arguably the favorites going into this weekend's voting, during the next round of Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations. Now, it looks as though he has a formidable foil. The implications to the NFL are huge. As we learn more about this man in the coming months, it will be interesting to see whether he will establish the kind of relationship with Goodell that the late Gene Upshaw had or whether things devolve into something that reminds us of Bud Selig and Donald Fehr (God forbid!).
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell raised the possibility of having a 17th regular-season game as an option to help settle some of the league's future labor problems. "We are actually looking at that as one alternative," Goodell said Tuesday at the NFL owners meeting in Atlanta, the same day that the league's owners voted unanimously to opt out of their labor deal with the players' union two years early. "We think that may have an impact on some of the things we would want to talk to the players about. It's on the table."ESPN - NFL eyes 17th game to grow revenue, shorten preseason - NFL

So about 2 weeks ago, a close friend, family, and I went to a fabulous restaurant that everyone that loves seafood has to try. The restaurant is located in Annapolis Md right on the water. They sat us near a window in which you could see the pier, water, and sunset that evening. The atmosphere was great. The menu consisted of wonderful seafood dishes, everything from shrimp and lobster, to burgers and great desserts. It is a bit expensive, but well worth the money, portion and quality of the food. Everyone ordered something different, but I myself felt I had the best dish on the menu.
For a starter, I ordered a wedge salad. Traditional salad, but they definitely jazzed the salad up with color and flavor. The salad consisted of 1/4 cut of a iceberg lettuce head, fresh tomato, onions, rainbow color of peppers, and a herb flavored blue cheese dressing that was delicious.
The entree has to be one of my favorite dishes. It was a Lobster Macaroni and Cheese. The dish was fabulous. The pasta was cooked to al dente and the three cheese sauce was delicious. The lobster was found throughout the dish and also cooked two ways. The lobster inside the pasta was cooked in the pasta sauce, warmed through and spread throughout the plate. Then there was a steamed lobster tail on top, steamed through with succulent meat and butter. I couldn't have asked for a better dish.
For all those that love seafood, and want to get away to a place with great food and scenery, you have to try Yellowfin. Its well worth the trip, you will be glad I mentioned it.

Yes, he just let Fisher sodomize Barry in front of God and everyone. Barry obviously deserved a minimum of 2 freethrows. Some refs might have even given him 3 shots. I am sure he is chuckling right now as he heads back to the airport Hilton. Incredibly though, he hadn't been too egregious before that. Sure, he blew some other really obvious calls, mostly that pertained to Duncan, but he was fairly liberal on calling the Lakers' blatent hacks, blocks, and reaches. That was OK. It was just too bad the Spurs sucked ass (Manu esp.) so badly that they could not grab this winnable game.
And that is not too bad. You know why? Because if the Spurs had won this game, then they would have mailed in game 5. The only way they would have won that won in that case, would have been if the Lakers had also mailed it in, and then it would have been a tossup. Instead, the Spurs are going to claw tooth and nail to get game 5. I would put their chances at better than 50% for that game. Had they won, I would have put their chances at about 10%. If the Spurs end up after Thursday down 3-2, will it really make any difference that they lost the home game and won on the road? I don't think so. Go get 'em Spurs. These Lakers are ripe for the picking. They are overconfident right now and about to experience their first home playoffs loss.

Sponsor Cate Lucas in the Deep Freeze Dunk
Cate Lucas fundraising for HAITI OUTREACH
The donations will go to Haiti Outreach which is a program that makes clean water accessible to those in Haiti!
My life has been filled with innumerable blessings and I am so grateful, but that isn't to say that I don't easily trip up and take for granted the "simple" blessings.
It would take me about ten relazed strides to fill up a cup of clean, filtered water. I aim to drink 132 ounces of water everyday. Crystal clear water is something I expect daily.
But it isn't a reality to others across the globe. We've all heard the stories and probably have seen some pictures of those that don't have the resources we do. But I'm not writing here to drag on about the disgusting truth, but rather offer up a part of the solution.
Haiti Outreach is taking action to make clean, accesible water a reality to Haitians and I'm so happy to be a part of it.
I'd like to invite you to donate and celebrate change!

Ceremony held Nov. 7 in Madison
Curtis, Zimdars honored with 2013 'Cornerstone Award'
Library supporters from across the South Central Library System gathered Nov. 7, 2013, at Madison Public Library to pay tribute to individuals who have made significant and lasting contributions to public libraries. Kathryn Curtis & her late husband J. Robert Curtis, and William Zimdars received the "Cornerstone Award" at the fund raising reception.
The award is given to an individual or individuals who have had a significant and long-term impact on enhancing public libraries in South Central Wisconsin and represent the values and mission of the SCLS Foundation.
Kathryn Curtis has a long history with Portage Public Library, with the Columbia County Library Board, and with the South Central Library System. In the early 1980s, Columbia County was looking for someone to serve on the SCLS Board of Trustees. When Robert Curtis was asked to take that seat, he suggested Kathryn. She accepted, and soon thereafter became a member of the Columbia County Library Board, and then also became a member of the Portage Public Library board. She served in those multiple capacities for more than 10 years, but served on the local library board longest.
Introducing Kathryn Curtis was Peter Hamon, former SCLS Director and long-time friend of Kathryn and her husband "Doc." Hamon said their contributions to libraries are numerous, including playing a significant role in helping Portage construct its current library building. "Kathryn and Doc are not only library supporters of the first magnitude, but wonderful, warm, funny people, and it was my pleasure and honor to work with them for many years," Hamon said.
When accepting the award, Kathryn said she and "Doc" shared a real love of literature that blossomed into a shared commitment to libraries and service to the community.
In a letter, Portage Mayor W.F. "Bill" Tierney wrote, "Through the years, both Doc and Kathryn have served as tireless advocates for libraries by serving on both local and system library boards. They have passed on their love of libraries to their children, as both March and Ellie served on the library board of their communities. As long-time library supporters, they have been major parts of past and recent successes of not only the Portage Public Library, but the entire South Central Library System. Because of their contributions, the Portage Public Library continues to be an important resource facility for not only the city, but the surrounding area."
Also honored was William Zimdars, who currently serves on the Portage County Public Library Board. Bill is a former business education teacher, and he also sold insurance later in his career. He was a member of the Portage County Board when its members decided to join the South Central Library System, and he became the county's representative on the SCLS Board of Trustees (served one term as board president). For many years he was a county board representative on the Portage County Library Board, and was off the County Board three months when he was reappointed to the County Library Board as a citizen representative.
In her introduction, former SCLS Director Phyllis Davis said Bill has always believed that libraries are the leveling force in the community, and that the success of the institution is a credit to staff. "Because this is the kind of guy he is, Bill gives the credit for the success to the staff," Davis said. "They have made the library what it is today." However, she was quick to point out that no staff can do that kind of work without a supportive board, and that is Bill's legacy.
According to past SCLS Foundation Board President Trish Frankland, this fifth annual Cornerstone Award Reception continued a fund raising tradition that has raised over $60,000 for the foundation in five years. More than $12,000 was raised through the 2013 event.
"We're also especially grateful to the Gordon Flesch Company, Kayser Ford, and Wegner CPAs for their generous financial contributions in support of the 2013 Cornerstone Awards," said Franklin. "And a special thank you to Cedar Grove Cheese for contributing to our delicious hors d'oeuvres, and to Madison Public Library for hosting this year's event."
Fesemyer, Iaccarino join Foundation Board
Cindy Fesemyer and Trish Iaccarino are the newest members of the SCLS Foundation Board.
Cindy began her second career in May 2012 as the Director of Columbus Public Library. She is pleased to serve the Columbus community by improving their library to the best of her abilities. So far she's led the library through a large renovation and the addition of their first-ever parking lot. Together, she and her staff have added tons of new programming and blown the dust off of a somewhat dated materials collection. She's currently excited to be exploring the idea of expanding the library building sometime in the not-too-distant future (they hope). "That's why Columbus is so involved with the Foundation," she said at her first meeting of the SCLS Foundation Board.
Both Cindy and Peter Kaland, the Columbus Library Board President, serve on the Foundation Board at this time. "Hoping that expansion can't be too terribly far off, the Columbus Library Board opted to start growing its nest egg via the Foundation," said Kaland. Cindy added that the Library Board had explored other options with various Foundations and settled on the SCLS Foundation "because we get a professionally managed account without committing any of our principle to the Foundation's own coffers." She says she sees SCLS as "a very valuable tool for saving."
Previous to librarianship, Cindy was a non-profit administrator and fund raiser for various Madison-area and statewide organizations. "I'm very happy with this opportunity to share my fund raising skills with the SCLS Foundation," Fesemyer said.
Also new to the SCLS Foundation Board is Trish Iaccarino. She has been a librarian at UW-Madison since 2002 and previously worked for the Division of Libraries, Technology and Community Learning (1994-2002). Trish has served on the SCLS Board of Trustees since 2003.

The film centers around Justice, a "black teenage girl living in Chicago. When her father accepts a job in the Bahamas, they move there against her will. The family is given membership at the exclusive yacht club, but not everyone is happy with the new American imports. Despite attempts to intimidate her, Justice begins to learns how to sail. She joins the annual children's regatta, determined to win—and to prove true the motto "One Bahamas."
Here's the film trailer.

Let me get this straight, going by this trailer, your in the Bahamas but the only featrured black people are the help who appear to play the magical negro to the mulatto chick. I'll be damned if any kid I have will see this.
ForeignBlackChick | August 20, 2011 1:45 AM
Wow at everyone dogging the movie. I guess it's because it involves interracial aspects.
The performances were very fine with me and I would love to watch it at my age!
The love interest(?) is hot too and the Bahamas looks beautiful of course.
Laura | August 17, 2011 11:18 AM
Very Nickolodeonish.
Usually that's the quality of acting/writing/directing of the Disneyfied kid flicks.
Interesting, that she's not a 21st century tragic mulatto in the sense that the character does not any internal struggle not being white. It seems that her inner resolve is ignited when she embrace the Black folks in the Bahamas.
I would let 10 year old see it. She would love it.
I mean this is a kid flick, right?
Geneva Girl | August 17, 2011 9:04 AM
Gosh, those performances were horrible. Still, if I could get it on DVD my nine-year old would love it.
Xi | August 17, 2011 5:06 AM
That's a happy *ss trailer.
JayG | August 17, 2011 1:09 AM
Looks like a Disney Channel/Nick @Nite movie of the week. I was waiting for Miley Cyrus's cameo to tie it all together.
Duncan MaNutz | August 16, 2011 12:07 PM
Wow...People really Hate Us.

Passengers vote Southampton Airport as the best in the UK
11:00am Thursday 13th February 2014 in News
Southamptom Airport has been named the best in the country at a prestigious awards ceremony.
The Eastleigh-based terminal was handed the title of 'Top UK Airport' by Wanderlust readers in the 2014 Wanderlust Readers' Travel Awards.
Thousands of readers of the Wanderlust magazine had their say in the decision before the announcement was made at the glamorous Destinations Show at Earls Court, London.
Southampton Airport ranked top for UK Airports with a satisfaction rating of 87.5 per cent. Final positions were based on an average score for the entry, converted to a percentage – meaning that the award was based on all-important satisfaction levels rather than the number of votes.
Airport managing director Dave Lees said: "The respected award of Top UK Airport is a great credit to the brilliant team that we have working at Southampton Airport, who have a real focus on customer service.
"It is particularly meaningful because the award is based on the impartial opinions of well-travelled people and I'd like to thank all of our passengers who took the time to vote."
The airport fought off competition from the likes of London City, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Birmingham and Liverpool to take the top gong.
Phoebe Smith, Wanderlust's editor, said: "With the discerning UK traveller increasingly preferring a more bijou airport experience, it's no wonder that Wanderlust readers have voted Southampton as the Top UK Airport.
"With its good public transport links, great facilities and flights to 33 destinations from Aberdeen to Verona, it's a worthy winner."

On Veterans Day, I want to send a special thank you to my brothers and sisters in arms, particularly to those in harm's way around the globe. Your selfless dedication, your constant vigilance, your courage under fire and your unhesitating sacrifice are what makes this country great.
My time in the Army taught me many lessons about honor and courage but also taught me many cool things. There are the great acronyms like SNAFU, FUBAR and HUA (now spelled Hooah for some reason) and great phrases like "Your attitude is like the butt end of a battery: all negative" and "It's time to un-ass the AO."
As further proof that the Steelers are the coolest organization, built around the best team on the planet, check out this link from the main page: http://www.steelers.com/video-and-audio/videos/Heroes-at-Heinz-Field/390c16aa-810d-40f9-b52c-6eaed3fbdeff The fact that Troy Polamalu and his wife created the Harry Panos Fund in honor of Theodora's grandfather, who was a World War II veteran, to help younger veterans who have returned from service in Iraq, often with terrible injuries, fills me with pride.
On a completely self-serving note, Rocky Bleier is my hero but is also my brother in arms. I wonder if I can use that to get in the family box at games?

Soccer is my FAVE. I have to say I was good today ... and still went to my 12:15p interval training class - the exact start time of the U.S. Women's soccer match against Korea. So I missed the beginning, but still caught a good chunk of the last half while I got ready for work.
And tonight - gymnastics! I don't see a lot of work in my future. ... just sayin'.

With a pair of runners on for Los Angeles rookie phenom Yasiel Puig, Cardinals starter Lance Lynn decided to give the Cuban import a little chin music.
Puig got the last laugh, though, delivering an RBI single to plate the Dodgers' first run of the game. The Cardinals now lead, 3-2, heading to the fifth inning.

ALBANY -- Two jail escapees and their getaway driver caught in Tift County will soon be taken back to Kentucky. David Harrison, Jason Gaston, and Rose Marie Rogers waived extradition.
Harrison was awaiting trial for murder when he broke out of a Western Kentucky jail last week. Gaston had plead guilty to arson. Rogers, who aided their escape, is also headed to jail. They were captured Monday after a traffic stop on I-75 by a Tift County deputy.

In today's post, a familiar path.

The triple lobed eye of that thing which cannot possibly exist at the cupola of the sapphire tower, a structure in Long Island City's Court Square area often referred to as "The Megalith" at this – your Newtown Pentacle – must enjoy one heck of a view. Norse God Odin is meant to have sat upon a "hildskalf" or high seat from which he could see the entire world, he also had two ravens which were sort of like unmanned drones that he sent off on espionage missions.

I may have read too much popular literature of the Science Fiction genre, probably, but the notion of armed robots flying, swimming, and tunneling around the world makes me a bit more nervous than two magical ravens serving a one eyed god. Saying that, I for one welcome our new robot (or raven) overlords, and look forward to the glorious efficiencies they will bring. Also- just in case- Hail Ming. Pictured above, the gates of Calvary in late afternoon sun.

One feels as if he is in a bit of a rut at the moment, overly familiar with certain corridors connecting familiar destinations. Wanderlust is at the forefront of my ambitions, and I wonder what new frontier there might be out there which I'm not learning about. If you're not actively learning something new, you're actively dying inside. Unfortunately for me, I've been dead inside for a long time… can't you smell it?

The scenes depicted in today's shots actually didn't actually look very much like these presented photo. In general, I screw around with every shot a little bit- push or pull the exposure and midpoints of dark and light, alter the color temperature to neutralize and compensate for sodium or fluorescent lights, drop an exposure gradient into a sky or on the water to compensate for glare. I'll do the occasional tilt shift here and there, but largely strive for the ability to do it "in camera" more than anything else. Nothing major is altered, by "retoucher" standards, who would define such adjustments as merely "helping" the photo.

These photos, however, have had a whole bag of hammers thrown at them. One of the things I'm trying to eliminate from my mind these days is any fealty to the metaphor of film in creating a digital photograph. Even the term "photograph" is somewhat disingenuous as what these images actually "are" is a 23 megabyte computer file compiling the data captured by a sophisticated sensor. There is more information in the original file than is needed for reproduction, and the process of outputting the final image always involves a bit of photoshop editing work- deciding what to throw away, and that's where the artsy fartsy stuff happens.
Losing this metaphor, the film one, leads one down the odd path of the so called "Uncanny Valley." This term refers to a human perception bias which can instantaneously determine if something is artificially contrived, using CGI techniques to simulate a human face for instance. What I was "going for" in developing the shots as they are was a sort of old timey hand colored thing accomplished by a severely limited but quite saturated color range and an extremely high contrast regarding the black and white ratio. It's a "formula" or "look" I've been asked to apply to other people's files in my advertising life, by the way, usually for sports marketing stuff.
It beggars a certain question though- If it's not a faithful rendition of the scene, a photograph by definition, what is it?

It has been discussed so often here that it is depressing to actually bring it up again, but your humble narrator absolutely detests this time of the year. Miserable vulnerabilities to cold wreak havoc upon an already weakened constitution, and the diminished availability of light emanating from the burning thermonuclear eye of god itself during these months cause me nothing but misery and consternation. In short, I hate the winter, and it sort of figures that the world will cease to be on precisely the date when the winter solstice occurs and the days begin to grow longer.
Mayan Apocalypse Countdown: just 10 days left until the 13th b'ak'tun ends, initiating the Mayan Apocalypse on December 21st. Tick, tock.

Wandering about in the wastelands surrounding the Newtown Creek and its tributaries normally bring me a sort of solace, but of late, not so much. It is painful to know so much about a subject that you actually have no one to chat with about it. More and more, I think about my friend Bernie Ente, and his loss grows ever more profound. He is dearly missed.

The good news is that the excess time I am cursed with is being put to some use. A schedule of 2013 tours and events is being hammered out and negotiated as you read this, and there are quite a few interesting things on the horizon. There will be two completely new Newtown Creek walking tours, as well as an updated "Magic Lantern" lecture and slideshow. Additionally, discussions about new opportunities out on the harbor are starting as well. Just have to make it through to the spring in one piece…

Only 14 days left until the 13th b'ak'tun ends, initiating the Mayan Apocalypse on December 21st. Seeking to visit those places special to me- one last time- before the sun blinks, the heavens crash, and the earth splits- your humble narrator journeyed to the Empty Corridor in Long Island City. Empty Corridor, incidentally, is a term of my own invention- the rest of you know it as 50th avenue.

The feature rich terrain which surrounds the Newtown Creek and its industrial districts is often difficult to categorize without some sort of assigned nomenclature. The Creek itself…long time readers of this, your Newtown Pentacle, have grown accustomed to the appellations DUKBO (Down Under the Kosciuszko Bridge Onramp), DUPBO (Pulaski), DUGABO (Greenpoint Avenue), even DUMABO (Metropolitan Avenue) to describe various sections using bridge crossings for reference. I've called a certain route through Greenpoint "The Poison Cauldron" and another that leads from Bushwick to Maspeth "The Insalubrious Valley". There is a reason for this, beyond my personal amusement.

Simply put, the historic place names for these spots have fallen out of common memory. If I said, meet me in Arnheim or at Whites Dock near the Plank Road, how many would be able to reach these spots? In my educated estimation, knowing the various players and personalities of the local historical enthusiasts and area wags, approximately eleven people would have any idea what I was taking about. For a time, the nickname of DULIE (Down Under the Long Island Expressway) was considered for this spot, but that fits the eastward section of Borden Avenue a bit better, so "Empty Corridor" was assigned to it.

There used to be lots of interesting things here, before Robert Moses rammed the steel viaduct and the midtown tunnel which feeds it through in 1939. There were warehouses that were fed by the freight lines of the Long Island Railroad, as well as a thriving manufacturing community. Nowadays, there are nothing but truck based businesses- UPS is the biggest of them. And cats. Lots of cats.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
One thing you will notice as universal in these industrial backwaters is that ferals are everywhere. Cats, that is. These days, you don't see packs of dogs roaming about. When your humble narrator was a boy, living in the hinterlands of flatlands and canarsie, it was not uncommon to see 10-20 dogs of dissimilar breeds roaming around. Some were escaped or abandoned pets, but most were the product of miscegenation and rough in appearance and demeanor. These days, Cats seem to be the dominant feral animal.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Another thing you'll notice is that laborers in the neighborhood look after these creatures, creating shelters out of plastic crates and depositing large quantities of food. This, of course, provides fuel to the fire, and an unsustainable birth rate. There are only so many birds and rats that can be caught under normal circumstances, and without their tenders, life can get pretty grim for these kitties here in the Empty Corridor.

During this infirmity which has struck me down, a twisting gimlet of overstressed tissue in my lower back (for those of you who haven't read my endless complaints about it in the last week), an amazing amount of time has been spent combing the vast Internet in search of amusement and diversion. While doing so, a few images at the New York City Municipal Archives provided me with some intellectual whimsy. The shot above is quite modern, captured a few days after Hurricane Sandy. It depicts the "Queens Midtown Highway" section of the Long Island Expressway.
- photo by nycma.lunaimaging.com, May 13, 1941
The historic shot from May 1941, above, is shot from a few hundred feet south of my vantage point. Unfortunately, the spot where that photographer stood is now obscured by both a chain link fence and a highway sign which blocks the historic view. Of particular note in the 1941 shot are the presence of private homes, rather than industrial buildings, along the northern side of the highway. Also, the blanket of vaporous exhaust visible in the air of Long Island City is of some interest.

Visiting my parents is always like starting a quest. I always come back home with a full inventory of high-level spoils: like days' worth of leftovers from a great dinner, wholesome produce, bottles of wine and homemade desserts.
And that bottle of extra virgin olive oil I'd been waiting for to go on sale.
And dishwashing soap.
And toothpaste, thanks mom I still have a few tubes of that but—

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - There's even more evidence of public corruption at the Dalby Correctional Facility in Post. A man who previously admitted to being an illegal alien now also admits to possessing contraband.
Specifically, Alberto Rodriguez-Campos, 32, who lists his address in Lubbock, admits to having cocaine in the prison unit.
Over the last three years, several prison guards and other prison employees have been caught and pleaded guilty to public corruption or similar charges. Rodriguez-Campos told investigators that he got the cocaine from a prison staffer. He'll be sentenced at a later date to no more than 10 years in prison.

Hey everybody. It's been a while since my last post, so cut me a little slack if it's a bit sloppy.
In the wake of UFC 100, a very important fact was established within the 205+ division; and that fact is that Brock is the kingpin of the UFC HW ranks. To clarify, I didn't really consider Lesnar the true HW champ until he unified the title on the 11'th (nor did I consider Mir the true champ). Now that there's been a resolution to the mini Heavyweight tournament within the UFC, a relatively clear pecking order has been established.
First off, it's heavily rumored that the winner of Carwin/ Velasquez will recieve a title shot. I fully expect Shane to edge out Cain (although I wouldn't be surprised if Cain won), because I think their wrestling will about cancel out, and that Carwin has more powerful standup. I expect a Carwin UD, which will almost certainly set up Lesnar/ Carwin.
Aside from that contenders match, you have Randy/ Nog, which could potentially set up the next title challenger. If Randy wins (which I think he will, although it will be a tough fight), then I see him fighting the winner of Crocop/ Dos Santos, or possibly Frank Mir for a title shot. However, if Nog wins (especially if it's impressive, i.e. a submission), I think it puts him right in line for a title shot, or at least for a #1 contenders match (in which the CC/ JDS winner, or Frank Mir make the most sense).
Then, you have Frank Mir. Granted, he just got whooped on by Brock, but considering that they're 1-1, I think Frank needs maybe 1-2 solid wins for the rubber match to happen. Maybe it starts out with Mir taking a fight against Gonzaga or Kongo, and then proceeding to fight the winner of Nog/ Randy. Couture/ Mir would be a great matchup, and i'm sure noone would complain about seeing a more decisive rematch of Frank and Nogueira.
Then, you have some other guys in the picture, like Dos Santos, Mirko, as well as perennial UFC contenders Gonzaga and Kongo, who could all potentially put together a few wins, and challenge for the title.
All in all, there are some very interesting matchups at HW in the UFC, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if Lesnar held on to his title, or relinquished it.
That said, now that the wake of UFC 100 is about faded, let us all get pump stoked about Affliction 3, and mainly

smoke and mirrors
Marketing deceptions. The term is mainstream in this general sense. Among hackers it's strongly associated with bogus demos and crocked benchmarks (see also MIPS, machoflops). "They claim their new box cranks 50 MIPS for under $5000, but didn't specify the instruction mix - sounds like smoke and mirrors to me." The phrase has been said to derive from carnie slang for magic acts and "freak show" displays that depend on "trompe l"oeil' effects, but also calls to mind the fierce Aztec god Tezcatlipoca (lit. "Smoking Mirror") for whom the hearts of huge numbers of human sacrificial victims were regularly cut out. Upon hearing about a rigged demo or yet another round of fantasy-based marketing promises, hackers often feel analogously disheartened.

Hi! Portland fan here...one who is VERY happy Gerald Wallace is playing for the Blazers. Sorry for your loss!
Am a season ticket holder and pretty rabid fan. Went to the game last night against Houston and pretty much ALL of the Blazers EXCEPT Gerald Wallace, did not play well. Batum played offense well. NONE of them played defense..again..except for Wallace.
He is freaking amazing. I could tell that he was nervous and had some shots blocked/turn overs but my God, what an athlete. He made one play where I was..."OMG..I have never seen ANY player do that...EVER."
Anyway, the team is in flux right now. Marcus Camby was on the court for the first time 2 games ago after being out for 16 games..about 2 mos., Brandon Roy just started back after missing 30 games, since Dec 15th. Gerald has now played in 2 games. So the Blazers essentially have 3 new players to figure out how to play with one another.
To further complicate things, the ALPHA DOG...Brandon Roy is not the Brandon Roy of old. His knees have seriously affected what he can do, minutes played. This may never get better. LaMarcus Aldridge has emerged as the star of the team and as the leader in Roy's absence.
Since Roy has been back the Blazers have been 1-3. They won one game in OT. Brandon Roy played well in this game. He went over his "prescribed time limit" because the roster was so short and the game went into OT.
Camby came back to play on the same night Gerald played in his first game.
It seems to me the Blazers are deferring to Brandon Roy...LaMarcus Aldridge is slipping back into old playing patterns..other players are just freaking standing around when Roy has the ball...the players aren't moving on offense..they aren't playing defense...it's a mess.
Gerald Wallace came out in a post game interview and said he felt like it was his fault for messing up the team's chemistry. While this is a very gracious thing to say...it is completely not true.
Brandon Roy is messing up the team chemistry. I don't think it's all on him. I just think the players are playing the way he used to when he actually could play very very well....and they know that Brandon LIKES this. It's something he has grown to relish. It's one of the reasons it took his ABSENCE from the scene for other players to flourish.
To me this is not the mark of a good leader...it is the mark of a talented smart player who enjoys being in the limelight as the "leader" of the team. Willing to take the big shot...clutch player...who can no longer count on his body to deliver the "goods".
LaMarcus and the rest of the team seemed to work well together...in a cooperative way. Though LaMarcus was the number one option on offense, others felt ok scoring, cutting, MOVING, to make things happen on the court. They played very well together. It seemed more like "leadership by committee, a team supporting one another ".
Now Brandon comes back and they just stand around..even when BRANDON IS NOT ON THE COURT!!!!!!!
So my question is this....could Gerald Wallace become the team leader? A vocal team leader, who will enjoy making sure the players play together and play hard to win? I know that is what he is about as a person, but is he someone who would feel comfortable in this role? Because Brandon's "" is not doing this team any good whatsoever.
Please let me know...and if any of you have contact with Gerald Wallace...please let him know that HE DID NOT MESS UP THE TEAM'S CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!
I think the team will get back on track. I certainly hope so. In the mean time, I would go to the games just to watch Mr. Wallace play. What a treat.
And he will be starting tonight I am guessing. He has more than earned his starting position. The coach mentioned some lineup changes may be needed. He also said they may go with small ball...Marcus Camby was on the court last night ...it is too much to say he "played"...seemed like there was minimum effort there. Not sure what the story is with him. So Camby may not start.
I am rambling...please let me know what you think. Thanks

NFL.com ranks them 1st
Don Banks ranks them 1st: Not only did the Patriots just run through a pretty difficult five-game game gauntlet with remarkable precision and production, but also they seemingly only play in nationally televised games these days: The Sunday night win in Pittsburgh, the Thanksgiving Day opener in Detroit, the Monday-night showdown with the Jets, and now this week, another Sunday nighter at home against Green Bay. And that's not even including their high-profile wins over the Colts and Bears, which were shown to most of the country in the late Sunday afternoon time slot. The Pats have definitely proved ready for their close-up.
SB Nation ranks them 1st: Well, they're in the playoffs. The Patriots are playing like the 2007 Patriots. This team is on another planet right now.
NFL FanHouse ranks them 1st: In the last two weeks, the Patriots have made quick work of two nine-win teams (the Jets and Bears), winning by a combined score of 81-10. They're the clear Super Bowl favorite, and Tom Brady (3,767 yards, 31 TDs, 4 INTs) is playing as well as he ever has. No team wants to see the Pats in January.
WEEI ranks them 1st: The Patriots have wins against almost every team in playoff contention in the AFC. The Ravens, Chargers, Steelers, Colts, and Jets have all tasted defeat at the hands of Tom Brady and the Pats. In the last two weeks, against nine-win teams, the Patriots have outscored their opponent 81-10. Bill Belichick's team also has not turned the ball over in five straight games. If the above doesn't sound like a Super Bowl caliber team, I don't know what does.
Pro Football Weekly ranks them 1st: Hard to believe this team lost to the Browns five weeks ago.
National Football Post ranks them 1st: Brady reminded us—again—why he is going to walk away with the MVP trophy after throwing for 369-yards in the snow at Chicago.
Cold Hard Football Facts ranks them 1st: The Patriots have played three bad games this year – their two losses, to Cleveland and the Jets, and their weird win over San Diego. The common denominator? They were the only games where New England's offense was held under 100 yards rushing.
Yahoo! Sports ranks them 1st: Remember when Matt Cassel had a few good games in 2008 and people were suggesting they keep him and trade Tom Brady (and if you were one of those people, how silly do you feel now)?
The Sporting News ranks them 1st: Now that they have the league's best record and top scoring offense, they're looking to rewrite Super Bowl 42.
Pro Football Talk ranks them 1st: The 2010 Pats are looking like more and more like the lovechild of the 2007 Pats and the 1999 Rams.
Fox Sports ranks them 1st: I never really bought into the belief that the Patriots would have a letdown last week against the host Bears because it was a non-conference game. The Patriots had everything to play for coming into that game. And their young secondary continues to improve. If that continues to be the trend, they should make it to the Super Bowl.
Peter King ranks them 1st: In the past 29 days, the Pats have won at Pittsburgh, Chicago and Detroit, and beaten Indianapolis and the Jets at home. I'd say that's satisfactory to name them the best team in football. That plus the fact they've beaten two nine-win teams in the past week by a combined 81 points. Whoa.
ESPN ranks them 1st: Pats fans should start to book flights to Dallas. This appears to be a Super Bowl team.
USA Today ranks them 1st: They've outscored past two opponents 81-10.
CBS Sports ranks them 2nd: How good have they looked the past two weeks blowing out two good teams? That defense is getting better by the week, which will key their Super run.


text: Another thing I liked about today's game.....it made fools out of several national sports commentators. Their dislike for Texas has shown them to be the idiots they are. In today's game Bob Davi, one of the annoucers, could not hide the fact that he was rooting for UCLA. A lot of sports "experts" will now be eating crow over today's game. Texas, should be ranked in the top 15, I belive. What do you think about this?

One Week Left to Save 40% on Adobe Creative Cloud CS6 for the Entire Year
We posted this earlier this month, but the deal expires in a week so it's worth one last notification. If you're a current user of any Adobe software (CS3 or later), you can upgrade to Adobe's new all-inclusive Creative Cloud membership for $29.95/month (instead of $49.95) for the first year — a savings of $240. The discount expires at the end of August, so get cracking if you're thinking of signing up.
To get the discount you'll have to commit to an annual plan instead of month-to-month. If you're not in for the subscription-based pricing, Production Premium is $1899; if you want it all, the Master Collection is $2,599. If, for example, a company is footing the bill and you get to keep the software, these boxed versions might still make sense. However, cnsidering the monthly membership is $360 for a full year after the discount — and considering Adobe comes out with new versions basically every year — they're really making Creative Cloud the most attractive version.
If you're looking for training for this new software, here are a bunch of Premiere Pro video tutorials and some others via Adobe TV.
- Current Creative Suite users save $20/month for the first year on Adobe Creative Cloud
- Student and Teacher discounts
- Adobe Master Collection CS6
- Adobe Production Premium CS6
- Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
- Adobe After Effects CS6
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

Over the course of several years, a subscription is a good value, especially with annual version upgrades IF (big IF!) Adobe doesn't raise their subscription rates midstream. Hence, I'm leery about subscribing. I can't find any legalese on the Adobe website that states an annual subscription locks into the rate initially signed up for. Perhaps that's in the contract once the service is activated.
I'm leery because Adobe debits the user credit card every month instead of a lump sum, so to me that points to Adobe being able to raise its rate at anytime, just like my gym did so I quit. I prefer to pay a lump sum, assuring a locked-in price for the year, a la Vimeo Plus. I think Adobe just started offering subscriptions in April 2012, and of course there hasn't been any rate increase since. I'm on the cusp of either subscribing or buying a boxed version.
Razor on 08.23.12 @ 2:49PM
Eventually that $30 a month turns into $50 a month and at $600 a year you are now paying $75 more than the $525 for a physical Master Collection upgrade. If you already have a Master Collection then staying with a $525 physical upgrade saves money (especially skipping a minor point release now and then), but if you don't own a Master Collection to begin with, then the monthly rental option is probably best.
Also of note… actually "owning" the software allows you to deactivate it from your primary machine and install it on another workstation or laptop if you need to… maybe even for another office worker to use if they don't need the added features from the latest release.

Oh yeah, and those other guys from a small town in Oklahoma are playing too. That humble guy Kevin Durant and his spastic sidekick Russell Westbrook.
So enjoy! Game starts at, what, 8pm central? I'll miss the first few minutes but ultimately I don't really care. The Western Conference sure turned boring rather quickly, didn't it?
