Lunch At The O.b.m.
Michael Durst
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
This is work is called "Lunch at the Old Biscuit Mill" in Woodstock, an old area in Cape Town, South Africa. On weekends, people gather to buy vegetables, flowers, pastries, meat, olives, wine and beer, and of course to chat and have lunch. I wanted to show the families having lunch as Renoir would have pictured them.

A poll conducted Sept. 29-Oct. 1 by JMC Enterprises on behalf of The Hayride, a conservative Louisiana political website, shows the races for lieutenant governor and secretary of state are extremely close less than three weeks before election day.
Based on just more than 900 respondents and a 3.2 percent margin of error, the poll finds incumbent Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne with a 26-24 percent lead over Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser in a race that has gotten increasingly personal and bitter.
House Speaker Jim Tucker, meanwhile, holds a 20-19 lead over incumbent Tom Schedler in the secretary of state race. But as numbers for both races indicate, there remains a high percentage of undecided voters — 61 percent still haven't made up their mind on a choice for secretary of state while 49 percent remain undecided in the lieutenant governor race.

NOV 28 Columnist James Gill writes about an irritant for AG Buddy Caldwell in this post. Caldwell's upset about a "technicality" that turns out to be the US Constitution, Gill says.
NOV 28 Bill Cassidy says the story about his possible double-dipping from taxpayers is a "non-issue," the ABC News politics blog reports here. The story, broken by bloggers Lamar White Jr. and Jason Brad Berry earlier this week, is probably an issue for some taxpayers.
NOV 28 Blogger Tom Aswell writes about the next step for the 6th Congressional race. Former Gov. and ex-con Edwin Edwards plans to take some shots at opponent Garret Graves by pointing out that Graves is buddies with Bobby Jindal.
NOV 28 Gov. Bobby Jindal has much to be thankful for this week, the Picayune reports here. Specifically, he moved up in the latest GOP presidential poll - to 2 percent. Whoopie!
NOV 28 Blogger Ian McGibboney responds to a troll-like poster who had a problem with his most recent post about the Saints. Since people are rioting in Ferguson, Ian shouldn't talk about football, this individual opined. It's possible to care about more than one thing, Ian counters.
NOV 28 Yet again, we're hearing about budget cuts that are necessary because of a big budget hole, this editorial in the American Press says. This raises some questions, the paper says, such as: Why does this keep happening? And how can this be so when we're being told our economy is doing great?
NOV 28 Blogger Jason Brad Berry, arguably the only guy in Louisiana who is truly paying attention to the BP claims process, has a little something to say about a Picayune story on the audit reports. He wants to know if the reporter has ESP, or just wrote her story based on a press release. He also has links to the documents she wrote about - so you can judge for yourself.
NOV 28 The publishers of the Forward Now blog post this disclaimer about their social media accounts. They don't monitor who "likes" their articles, the publishers say, and they aren't trying to manipulate Facebook likes. Say what?
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.

New Mexico customers of a national payday loan company may be eligible for a full refund of all payments, interest and fees, according to the state Attorney General's Office.
The refunds are the result of an enforcement action by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau against ACE, one of the largest payday lenders in the nation, for pushing payday borrowers into a cycle of debt.
ACE is required to pay $5 million in refunds and a $5 million penalty for illegal debt collection tactics, according to the CFPB.
There are 17 ACE Cash Express stores located in New Mexico. Customers from March 7, 2011 through Sept. 12, 2012 can determine if they are eligible for a refund by calling (855)-411-2372 or at www.consumerfinance.gov.
ACE customers will also be contacted by a third-party settlement administrator about how to make a claim for a refund.

Four killed as powerful storm lashes Japan
Wednesday 04 April 2012
A powerful storm with typhoon-strength winds and heavy rain halted air and train traffic in Tokyo and killed four people around the country, officials said.
The spring storm left the region Wednesday, but the Meteorological Agency urged caution as strong winds would persist in northern Japan. Winds of more than 144 kilometers (89 miles) per hour were recorded Tuesday as the storm swept across Japan's main island of Honshu.
Police reported four deaths: two people killed in warehouse collapses, an elderly man who fell off a roof in Iwate and a woman crushed by a fallen tree in Miyagi. Hundreds more were injured.
The storm had halted commuter train service and grounded more than 500 flights in and around Tokyo on Tuesday. Train service was running as normal today, but about 70 more flights were canceled.
At two nuclear power plants in northern Japan, cooling of a spent fuel storage pool temporarily stopped because of power failures but resumed in about 30 minutes without affecting safety, their operator Tohoku Electric Power Co. said.
The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant that suffered meltdowns at three reactors after last year's tsunami was unaffected by the storm.

ST, Intel delayed phase-change memory to make improvements
February 12, 2008 //
Researchers from Intel and STMicroelectronics could have produced samples of 128-Mbit phase-change memories in 90-nm process technology as early as June 2007 but opted instead to take time to improve the memory, according to Paolo Cappelletti, group vice president for advanced technology development at ST's flash memory group.
LONDON Researchers from Intel and STMicroelectronics could have produced samples of 128-Mbit phase-change memories in 90-nm process technology as early as June 2007 but opted instead to take time to improve the memory, according to Paolo Cappelletti, group vice president for advanced technology development at ST's flash memory group.
In March 2007 Intel organized a teleconference in which Ed Doller, then chief technology officer of the flash memory group at Intel, told listeners that Intel was preparing to sample a 90-nm 128-Mbit phase change memory to customers in the first half of 2007. Doller said at the time that he was hopeful the memory would go into volume production by the end of the 2007.
The phase-change memory is based on a thermally-induced reversible change in a chalcogenide material - between an amorphous and crystalline state. The 128-Mbit device has been designed as a pin-compatible NOR replacement that provides fast read and write speeds at lower power than conventional flash, and allows for the bit alterability normally seen in RAM.
Capelletti told EE Times that the 90-nm nonvolatile phase-change memory was delayed from that original prediction to help build a better foundation for a memory product at a more advanced manufacturing node.
During the first half of 2007 engineers working on the follow-on to the 90-nm phase-change memory at an ST pilot line in Agrate, Italy, made some changes to the memory cell to improve integration, said Cappelletti. "We saved one critical mask, made the memory cell more scalable and changed the electrical distribution across the array."
"We were not yet in production so we decided to reproduce these changes in 90-nm," said Cappelletti. He added that the decision was done to allow an easier transition from the 128-Mbit 90-nm memory to the next-generation. Cappelletti said he could not say whether that would be implemented in a 65-nm process.
"We were able to produce the 90-nm sample in Q4 2007. The shipment happened in Q1 because we wanted to tie three events together * the delivery of samples; the ISSCC paper on multilevel cell PCM and the demonstration in Barcelona," Cappelletti said.
The reference to Barcelona is believed to be a demonstration of the use of phase-change memory as a replacement for NOR flash memory within a mobile phone.

All of Destiny's PlayStation exclusive content detailed
As a purported extra ambitious AAA game, Destiny has to match that ambition in the growing realm of timed and console exclusive content. So much so that there is an entire PlayStation Blog post patting you on the back for considering Destiny on PS4 or PS3, explaining all the extra #content you'll be getting for being a good girl or boy this year.
"At launch, PS4 and PS3 owners will get exclusive access to a unique co-op Strike located on Mars, an exclusive competitive map, and a slew of exclusive guns, gear, and ships." Some of that armor is pretty. Congrats, PS chic fashionistas.

Cost of buying, servicing F-35 fighter jets soars to $40B: sources
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Thursday, December 6, 2012 5:24PM EST
Last Updated Thursday, December 6, 2012 10:13PM EST
The cost of buying and servicing the F-35 stealth fighter jets that Ottawa has been planning to purchase has skyrocketed to about $40 billion, CTV News has learned, as the Conservative government considers alternative aircraft.
A report commissioned by the government, which will be released next week, will kick off a review of the entire jet fighter procurement process and the need to replace Canada's aging fleet of CF-18 jets.
The report examined the cost of buying, maintaining and operating 65 F-35 jets over a period of 36 years. The soaring price tag has prompted officials to consider purchasing less expensive war aircraft. Options to be examined by an independent panel include the U.S.-made Super Hornet and Swedish-made Gripen, sources say.
The Conservatives' plan to purchase the F-35 jets has been mired in controversy since a scathing auditor general's report accused both National Defence and Public Works of hiding the true cost of the project.
Ottawa said the program would cost between $14.7 billion and $16 billion, but auditor general Michael Ferguson and Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page disputed those figures.
Ferguson accused the Defence Department of low-balling the estimate by not including operating expenses, and said it would actually cost more than $25 billion, but government officials denied trying to hide anything.
Page had estimated it would cost $29.3 billion to purchase and maintain the jets.
Now, it looks like the cost would exceed both of those estimates.
Alan Williams, a former senior procurement officer with the federal government, said the price of the "complex" jet program has been going up since Ottawa initiated the procurement process.
"We ought to wait until the development is done and the platform is operational," he told CTV's Power Play Thursday.
"But we dipped our toes into the water much too early in the program, without knowing the cost or the capability. And that's why we're saddled with this situation today."
Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said the government is committed to being transparent on the issue and following the recommendations of the auditor general's report in April. She said the report on F-35 costs will be made public soon.
"We want to make sure that we get this right and we're taking it really seriously," she told Power Play.
However, NDP defence critic Jack Harris said the "sticker shock is going to make people say this is not something that's affordable."

UK regulator slaps $31 million fine on Invesco Perpetual
LONDON, April 28
LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - British financial regulators have fined fund manager Invesco Perpetual 18.6 million pounds ($31.27 million)for exposing their clients to too much risk.
In a statement on Monday, the Financial Conduct Authority said between May 2008 and November 2012, Invesco Perpetual flouted rules on investment limits designed to minimise exposure to risk and clients lost money.
"The extent of these losses was 5 million pounds and prompt compensation has been paid to the funds. These losses could, however, have been greater," the FCA said.
The regulator added Invesco Perpetual agreed to settle quickly and qualified for a 30 percent discount on the fine which would otherwise have been 26.6 million pounds. ($1 = 0.5948 British Pounds) (Reporting by Chris Vellacott. Editing by Huw Jones)

My husband and I are spending a week in downtown Boston and then planning to visit our friends who live near Nashua, NH. My current thinking is that we will rent a car downtown, drive to Nashua, and then after visiting our friends, drop the rental car off at Logan (from where we fly home).
However, after reading about Boston traffic, I am concerned about driving in the city. Would there be any sense in just taking transit out to the airport and renting the car from there? What do you think?

If you rent at the airport, you have to drive through the heart of the city to get to Nashua. You will pay more to rent at the airport than you will in the city.
See if you can get a rental in Cambridge or Bunker Hill.
Report Abuse
no, don't go back to the airport. Just leave Boston not during rush hour. Plan to leave town on a weekday from 10-2, or on a weekend. You'll be fine. No need to go out of your way to the airport, dragging luggage on mass transit.
Report Abuse
And I wouldn't bother with dragging the luggage out to Cambridge either. Just get a rental close to your hotel, and ask for detailed directions to the closest highway (I93, or maybe I90 (Mass Pike)).
Report Abuse
The traffic in downtown Boston is bad but not unmanageable, but my GPS was horribly confused by the underground streets, and it took me almost 30 minutes to find the entry for the underground highway.
Report Abuse
I find Boston to be a very difficult city in which to drive. Streets are not at all straight, and I find signage difficult to locate when trying to drive, look at a map, and try to interpret navigation information. I can understand Doug's post above!!
Report Abuse
I think your original plan is sensible. You'll be driving out of the city and most rental agencies are close to a main road. So you won't be driving around the city streets.
Report Abuse
Where are you staying in Boston? Random driving in Boston can be a bit intimidating, but you can easily get directions from car rental place downtown to highway. Just rent car and drive immediately to Nashua - seems you are returning car just prior to flight, so that should also work.
Report Abuse
Gail has it. It depends entirely on where you are staying, information we don't have, but there is not much need for you to cruise the streets.
Driving is difficult in Boston (1) because many main streets are not signed, only the cross streets (2) many intersections are called 'squares' but are not designated that way on maps (e.g., Dewey Square) (3) GPS is better with the voice turned off because they will sometimes tell you where to go based on an official name (Fitzgerald Expressway) that is not used locally and which no local would use OR they will give you a number for something like "the McGrath" that you could commute on for twenty years without knowing its highway number (4) Boston drivers have their own rules, easily summed up as (a) never look another driver in the eye and (b) never use a signal or someone will cut you off.
But all you to do is get on I-93 north to Nashua and then get off at the Logan Airport exit on your return. Both are well marked.
Report Abuse
I lived in Nashua for many years. (Feh, but that's another story).
Your plan is a sound one. If you are staying in the Back Bay area of Boston (or, frankly, even if you're not), I'd recommend renting from the Back Bay branch of either Hertz or Avis. If you do, it becomes extremely easy to get to Nashua without dealing with much of Boston's traffic. To do so, follow this route:
1. From the car rental office, go to Arlington Street and turn onto Arlington. (Both Hertz and Avis are with 2 blocks of Arlington -- ask at the office for directions. Arlington is 1-way, and depending whether you use Avis or Hertz you'll turn right or left onto Arlington.)
2. Follow Arlington for 2 or 3 blocks until you see the sign for Mass Pike/I-90. Turn right onto the on-ramp for the Mass Pike. (It's a toll road.)
3. Follow the Mass Pike/I-90 about 10 miles to the exit for Rt 95/128. Take 95/128 North.
4. Follow 95/128 North about 10-12 miles to Rt 3 North. Take Rt 3 North to Nashua, about 20-25 miles.
The trip will take about 40-45 minutes in total, unless you leave Boston in late afternoon (3-6), when you'll be subject to rush hour delays.
Report Abuse
Oh, one more thing: on your way back from Nashua to Logan, retrace this exact route, except take the Mass Pike/I-90 all the way to Logan Airport. It is very slightly shorter to take a different route (I93) to the airport, but that route is more complicated and easier to go astray.
Report Abuse
Thank you so much for your replies. We will be staying at the Hyatt (1 Ave De Lafayette) and will be leaving Boston on a Friday afternoon.
Report Abuse
You definitely do not want to rent the car before you check out of the hotel -- getting to/from the Hyatt is a challenge for anyone unfamiliar with Boston. My advice is to take a taxi from the Hyatt to the Hertz office in Park Square, then follow the directions I gave earlier. Unfortunately, you'll have plenty of company on the roads on a Friday afternoon, no matter which route you take.
Bonus info: if you're looking for a nice Asian restaurant while staying at the Hyatt, try the Penang, just a short walk down Washington St. Excellent Malaysian/pan-Asian eats at reasonable prices in a comfortable setting.
Report Abuse
Thank you for the detailed instructions (and the restaurant recommendation!) We will follow your direction!

Autism and Fragile X Participants sought for Memory Study
Share It.
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) - The UC Davis MIND Institute is seeking participants for a study examining the benefits of a computer-based, game-oriented training program for enhancing working memory in children and adolescents with autism and fragile X syndrome. Participants must be between 8 and 17 and have been diagnosed with either autism or fragile X.
The researchers are seeking to determine whether children with these conditions who also exhibit symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might benefit from cognitive training to address their attentional problems.
Participants will be required to participate in cognitive and behavioral evaluations during two to three home visits of about three hours each and participate in five to six weeks of in-home computerized cognitive training. The evaluations and computerized cognitive training will take place in participants' homes. Families will receive feedback on their children's progress and assessments. Compensation for the training is available.
The study is being managed by the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Program at the MIND Institute. For additional information, please call 916-703-0294, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
At the UC Davis MIND Institute, world-renowned scientists engage in collaborative, interdisciplinary research to find the causes of and develop treatments and cures for autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), fragile X syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, Down syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Schneider Electric inks major deal with Leggat McCall in Andover

Schneider Electric, a France-based energy technology company with significant operations in Boston's northern suburbs, has inked a huge lease with Leggat McCall that will enable it to consolidate its local divisions to a single 230,000-square-foot facility on Federal Street in Andover.
Leggat McCall's Bill Gause confirmed that a lease was formally signed Tuesday, Dec. 4, and that Schneider is expected to occupy the property at 800 Federal St. by December 2013. Leggat, which has owned the property in question since June 2010, was represented by the local brokerage team of Rich Ruggiero and Torin Taylor at Cushman and Wakefield.
Schneider's media relations team did not respond to requests seeking comment.
According to Gause, the European engineering and manufacturing company will take over approximately 160,000 square feet of existing space that has been vacant for nearly seven years. The agreement also will see Leggat build out another 75,000 square feet of space to enable Schneider to bring all of its Massachusetts operations under one roof. Gause said some of that consolidation is expected to include Schneider operations currently housed in a company-owned facility in Rhode Island.
All told, roughly 900 workers will be housed at 800 Federal St. once the build-out is complete. Leggat paid $2.9 million for the property and another $5.6 million for an adjacent site at 600 Federal St. two years ago, according to public records.
"Clearly this is a big deal for the (Interstate) 495 market," Gause said. "You don't see new construction in the 495 market that often."
Schneider presently operates out of several locations north of the city. Most of its local administrative and research-and-development operations are located in a 150,000-square-foot space at One High St. in North Andover. A real estate source familiar with Schneider's North Andover lease said the company has approximately 220,000 square feet of space under contract, with around a third of that footprint subleased to Nike Inc.'s Converse division. Schneider's existing North Andover lease is set to expire in July.
