GOODWELL, Okla. (AP) - The National Transportation Safety Board plans to meet next week to determine the probable cause of a head-on train collision in the Oklahoma Panhandle.
A board meeting is set for 8:30 a.m. CDT on Tuesday at National Transportation Safety Board headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The June 24, 2012, crash between Union Pacific trains near Goodwell killed three of four crewmembers on the two trains. A fourth crewmember survived after jumping from one of the trains just before the crash.
A preliminary report said the eastbound train was traveling at 64 mph and the westbound train at 38 mph when they collided. The speed limit is 70 mph in the area.
During a hearing in February, investigators said the eastbound train drove through several warning signals without slowing down.

text: Box Office Predictions: 'Elysium' to Be Next 'John Carter' Print article Send a Tip by Movie Critic Assassins 9 Aug 2013 post a comment Last week saw Sensei hit 2 Guns hit his prediction dead on ($27 million OW). There's plenty of new releases to debate this week. Sensei's weekend predictions and revenue results go as follows: 1. "Elysium" ($32 million) - Film dodged a bullet with Planes not pulling in positive reviews from critics and audiences. Still, it will be a short celebration as a John Carter-like opening seems set. Again, like the box office flop Carter, film is enormously expensive ($100 million) and even last Spring's Oblivion couldn't earn that amount in sci-fi off a much higher opening ($37 million opening, finished at $89 million domestic). This Summer's Pacific Rim also didn't break the $100 million mark off much higher anticipation. Bad buzz is already turning on Elysium, so a giant drop in its second weekend is already baked in. 2. "Planes" ($24 million) - The weekend is just there for the taking, but buzz is low. This spin-off inspired by Pixar's Cars is instead is looking at a Gnomeo and Juliet-like opening ($25 million). This one looks to be a missed opportunity. 3. "We're The Millers" ($20 million) - Film will steal away much of the 18-25 demographic. That prevents Elysium from breaking out, and will give this one a healthy start. Depending of how the bad buzz develops for Elysium, this comedy could easily go higher. 4. "Percy Jackson: The Sea Of Monsters" ($18 million) - In such a crowded field, there's always one that gets left out. That looks to be this sequel to the modest hit Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. Lack of star power also hurts this franchise installment. Look for modest results. 5. "2 Guns" ($13.4 million) - A decent second weekend, film should break the $50 million domestic mark. Film hopes to stay on the same course as Denzel Washington's previous hit Inside Man, which opened similarly (around $28 million). Could be a tough road though, considering that film was a heist thriller and 2 Guns is an action comedy. That's Sensei's calls. Enjoy the weekend.

"We were all taken by surprise, when Kadafi left, by the sheer lack of government institutions," Anne Patterson, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, told a congressional panel Wednesday.How is it possible to be this stupid. Everyone knew their were no institutions. Qaddafi held the country together the way all of the regions dictators do. There are no democratic institutions, just the machinations of a despot. I think we were right to go into Iraq and I think Bush had the correct long term strategy. Libya was a colossal mistake. Syria is too. From the start we should have pushed for a settlement in Syria that kept Assad in power. Sometimes stability is all you can hope for.

Good points and observations, #1.I wish I remembered who first came up with Obama-as-Urkel back in ´09. Who could have guessed just how very much mischief he could cause, mischief of such magnitude and terror for people all across the Middle East.

HOT Movie Rumor of the Day: Megan Fox Topless in Jennifer's Bodyby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
We were likely to see Jennifer's Body when it came out no matter what. Produced by Jason Reitman and penned by Juno scribe Diablo Cody, it ought to be a fun-filled flick.
After Reitman went on the Howard Stern radio show earlier this week, however, we absolutely cannot wait for the movie to come out.
Reitman told Stern that Jennifer's Body star Megan Fox will be appearing topless (!) in the film for a scene in which she lures some unsuspecting (and, apparently, very lucky) dude into the woods with her.
Reitman did state that Fox's breasts are being covered by hair... but we pretty much stopped listening after the words "Megan Fox topless" came out of his mouth.
Jennifer's Body is currently shooting in Canada, with Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody and J.K. Simmons co-starring along with Fox.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's acting secretary of the Department of Public Welfare says the state can't afford a legislative proposal to change its name to the Department of Human Services.
Bev Mackereth said Tuesday that the cost to the agency would be about $8 million. If it wasn't for the price tag, Mackereth says she'd be in favor of it.
Rep. Thomas Murt introduced the bill. The House Republican from suburban Philadelphia says it would "remove the stigma often associated with public assistance and welfare" and reflect the department's range of services.
A legislative committee is expected to take up Murt's bill on Wednesday.
Mackereth gave a brief presentation Tuesday to the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania. Gov. Tom Corbett named her last month to head the agency following Gary Alexander's departure.

However, as searches of the deck are allowed to fail, Elesa can be used to search for up to 3 Pokémon Tool cards, thus causing the cards to have the same effect and result.

Netgear's EVA9150 will support 1080p high-definition video, as well as multiple content platforms.
We had received some advanced info on Netgear's Digital Entertainer Elite with an embargo date for next month. However, since Wired, Engadget and Gizmodo are all spilling the beans, we figured it would be ok to leak a few details of our own.
The new box allows users to enjoy videos, music and photos on your TV—you know the drill. However, it doesn't just take content from your PC. This unit will come packing a 500GB hard drive, as well as the ability to tap into services such as YouTube and Flickr. The unit will stream your content in 1080p, but is that really enough when Apple TV, Netflix and so many other boxes are clamoring for space in your overcrowded A/V cabinet?
Could be, but not at the $400 that Netgear is quoting for the EVA9150. For that kind of cash, it had better have elves inside making their own tiny versions of my favorite movies. Hopefully that's a TBA feature. Still, the EVA9150 is expected to hit sometime in early 2009.

All About the Function Result Cache
Steven Feuerstein, Oracle Corporation
Friday, October 17, 2014 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM AEDT
The function result cache, added in Oracle Database 11g, offers developers a way to dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to retrieve data requested repeatedly by database sessions (specifically, when the same rows of a table are fetched much more frequently than they are changed). This cache is stored in the SGA, shared across all sessions in the instance, and automatically purged of "dirty data" by the Oracle Database. Every application running on 11.1 or higher should be taking advantage of this feature. Best of all, there is minimal impact on your code to start using this feature.

This session focuses on how to turbocharge the performance of multi-row SQL statements executed from within a PL/SQL using FORALL and BULK COLLECT. These features have been around since Oracle 8i, but many developers still don't use them or only scratch the surface of what is possible.
The bulk processing webinar will focus on why these features were needed and how they work. Steven will start with simple examples and syntax and drill down into all nuances, including the LIMIT clause for BULK COLLECT and the SAVE EXCEPTIONS, INDICES OF, and VALUES OF clauses for FORALL.
After attending this webinar, you will be able to both create new programs built around these features and also redesign existing programs safely to improve performance.

The FAO Subregional office for Central Asia (SEC) was officially established in August 2006, in Ankara, Turkey.
With the establishment of SEC, the delivery of FAO's expertise and services at country and Subregional level has been improved with the aim of assisting member countries to attain their food security objectives and the Millennium Development Goals.
Through this office, FAO is better responding to the priority needs of the countries in the subregion, improves its contribution to the work of the United Nations Country Teams, participates in country level inter-agency programming exercises and supports Subregional collaboration in addressing common food security, agriculture and rural development issues.
Most countries of the subregion are in transition from planned to market economies and are in the process of reforming their institutions. In general, they have a great potential for agricultural sector development to enhance food security objectives.
The emphasis of SEC action is placed on competent analysis of and advice in policy reform concerning agriculture, land tenure and natural resources as well as providing technical assistance services in institution building, knowledge and competencies development, training and experience exchange among other countries in overcoming the challenges of transition.
FAO has been instrumental in working at national level to support the development of programmes involving all relevant stakeholders and supporting regional networking.

Safety measures in offshore drilling: the EU misses its chance
Author: Angela Pauly

You know what's frustrating? When a chance to fix something that is so clearly in need of fixing is passed over. This time around, it has to do with safety in European offshore drilling activities
You'd think after the lessons learned from BP's Deepwater Horizon spill, the European Commission would be doing everything they could to make sure such a disaster never occurs in European waters…and yet today, when EU Energy Commissioner Oettinger presented his long awaited proposal to regulate offshore oil and gas activities in Europe, we learned they didn't.Read More...
Dead men's fingers - a cosy soft coral

Date: October 26, 2011
If you still dont know how to dress up for this weekend's Halloween-party, how about this soft coral. Dead men's fingers (Alcyonium digitaturn) may have scared at least a diver or two. The conspicuous name reveals that the animal looks a bit like the swollen hand of a dead person. Dead men's fingers is a soft coral found in coastal areas in the northern Atlantic, and is common in most areas of the Baltic Sea. The picture is from Kattegat, and was taken during Oceana's expedition in the Baltic Sea in the spring 2011.Read More...

The human "appetite" for this stunning coral, which dates as far back as ancient Greece and Egypt, when red coral was considered to have sacred properties, has unfortunately led to the destruction of many red coral colonies, and there are concerns about the sustainability of coral harvesting.Read More...

Eelpout (Zoarces Viviparus) is one of the most common species in the Baltic Sea. It is also found in the coastal areas of North East Atlantic. Not much of looker, few people are aware how interesting a fish the eelpout actually is. Danish research has brought forward the extraordinary fact, that the eelpout suckle its offspring just like mammals. The eelpout belong to those around 750 fish species that give birth instead of laying eggs.Read More...

Underwater seismic activity in the Canary Islands
Author: Angela Pauly
Date: October 11, 2011
Since mid-July, seismic activity has been detected around El Hierro (one of the Canary Islands) with experts claiming over 9,600 earthquakes, most too mild to be felt, have occurred.
Recent data, according to the news, is suggesting that yesterday morning there was in fact an underwater eruption at around 4:30 am local time, and gases have been detected about 7 miles from La Restinga at depths of around 600m. Because the eruption seems to have taken place underwater, warnings were given for fishermen to avoid the area.Read More...

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers appear to be relatively healthy going into Saturday's playoff game against Seattle.
Cornerback Charles Woodson was the only key player who didn't participate in the portion of practice that was open to the media Wednesday.
Woodson has been nursing a toe injury and often sits out midweek practices. He is expected to play Saturday.
Backup running back Brandon Jackson returned to practice today after missing Tuesday's with a case of the flu. Guard Jason Spitz, who is returning from a quadriceps injury, practiced for the second day in a row. Cornerback Will Blackmon, who has a foot injury, returned to practice and did a handful of drills.

Of all of the top films that came out this year Spielberg's bio of America's favorite president towers above them like the iconic stovepipe hat the subject is known for wearing.
Life of Pi
is mostly spectacle,
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
is too intimate, but
feels just right to top the list. All of the key elements are there for an instant classic in the making.
Daniel Day-Lewis
's uncanny performance, the accomplished script by
Tony Kushner
, the gorgeous cinematography by
Janusz Kaminski
and the one and only
at the helm. That is all to say nothing about the indelible supporting work by
Tommy Lee Jones
Sally Field
as Mary Todd Lincoln. I would be surprised if the academy doesn't agree.
The idea of turning one of my favorite novels into a film didn't immediately appeal to me, but I could have rested assured it would be in good hands when I learned that the author himself,
Stephen Chbosky
, was adapting and directing it for the big screen. It's clear that this singular coming-of-age tale is Chbosky's baby from the care he takes with its telling. The unique tone blends pathos, humor and angst so beautifully it feels like a trip back to high school. The pitch-perfect casting didn't hurt either.
Logan Lerman
makes an indelible impression as the forlorn protagonist Charlie,
Ezra Miller
steals every scene as the outspoken Patrick and
Emma Watson
can leave Hermione Granger behind for good.
Another beloved novel adaption that, by director
Ang Lee
's own admission, seems unfilmable. However, the genre-jumping auteur has again made the impossible possible. The story of a boy on a life raft in the middle of the ocean with only his thoughts and a Bengal tiger may feel more intimate than spectacular on the page, but in film form it manages to be both. With 3D effects and visual flourishes it's easy to lose nuanced character development and, in the wrong hands, it would be difficult to connect to the characters, but such is not the case in
Life of Pi
. We feel Pi's pain, frustration and even his elation. The effects only serve to punctuate those emotions and enhance the experience. This is 3D done right!
With the heavy topics like war and natural disasters in so many films this year it was nice to have a break from all of that with a broad, yet well-crafted comedy.
Channing Tatum
(redeeming himself from the awful
Magic Mike
) and
Jonah Hill
pair up for a 21st century buddy cop movie that makes the genre feel fresh again. Other than the basic premise (and some fun cameos) it has little to do with the 80's teen drama is based on and that's probably for the best. I had to include this film because it made me laugh more than anything else I've seen this year and there is a real plot beneath all of the sight gags and comedic riffing that makes repeat viewing just as pleasurable every time.
First of all, it's only fair to note that I don't think that
Django Unchained
is as controversial as many would assume. Although it's arguable that Tarantino's bold use of the polarizing N-word in other films is problematic, the setting and plot of this particular story justifies it. Once you get past that it's thoroughly enjoyable. For Tarantino, a linear plot is a new thing and he makes it work without feeling like anything is missing. In fact, the real novelty of
is that, for the most part, it's a straight forward western. The twist is that it's about an ex-slave, bounty hunter taking out white people before slavery is officially over. With strong supporting performances by
Leonardo DiCaprio
Samuel L. Jackson
it's one of the most entertaining and visionary films of the year and a nice bookend to
When a film has as much awards buzz as this and stars multiple Oscar nominees, it's easy to forget that at its heart it's a romantic comedy, but that's just what
Silver Linings Playbook
is. The take on it is so fresh and well executed though, that it feels wrong to group it with the drivel that rom-coms have come to be associated with. In this crazy-meets-crazy love story two damaged souls come together in the most unconventional way and their obstacles are more complicated than a wacky ex, or an embarrassing secret.
Jennifer Lawrence
, once again proves that she is the young actress to watch,
Bradley Cooper
stretches beyond his fratboy persona and
Robert DeNiro
gives his best performance in years. A winner.
Christopher Nolan, in the final chapter of his Batman trilogy, continues to transcend the comic book movie genre with another sensational, intelligent thriller. As someone who liked
The Dark Knight
, but is partial to
Batman Begins
, I was glad to see the caped crusader rebuild himself this time around and rediscover why his pursuit of justice is so important and symbolic for the people of Gotham. Also, with the addition of
Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
it was nice to see a reunion of the cast of
. Though ending on a high note is probably a good idea, I would trust Nolan to keep the franchise going until Bruce Wayne has little grandbats.
So, yes the plot was a bit nonsensical, and
Anna Kendrick
might not have been so believable as the outsider emo-girl, but those absurdities are what make comedies like these work. Instead of going the route of a typical musical where the characters express themselves through song, the singing is just a backdrop for the story. It was refreshing to see a girl-power comedy that anyone could love and that didn't get too treacly sweet to stomach. There are romantic subplots, but the real meat and potatoes is this motley group of girl singers learning to work together and rise above obstacles.
Rebel Wilson
's starmaking turn as Fat Amy is worth the price of admission on its own.
When I heard promos for
The Sessions
I was expecting writer/director
Ben Lewin
's story of a polio afflicted writer to be somber and challenging in a typical indie festival film kind of way. Fortunately, the story is based on the true life experiences of Mark O'Brien, who made up for his physical limitations with a sharp wit and endearing personality.
John Hawkes
shines in the lead role having to rely solely on his expressive face since the character spends much of the film in an iron lung.
Helen Hunt
boldly bears all as the sex surrogate that O'Brien hires to help him lose his virginity and the always dependable
William H. Macy
warmly plays the priest he looks to for guidance.
Wes Anderson
's penchant for deadpan, yet emotional comedy always seems to work best when coming from the mouth of babes and the precocious child actors in
Moonrise Kingdom
are no exception. Part romance, part coming-of-age story, part adventure, this tale of preteen lovers trying to be together despite opposition from pretty much everyone in their respective lives manages to be funny and adorable without becoming too twee for its own good. The young actors are right on target and supporting work by the adults, Anderson stalwarts like
Bill Murray
Jason Schwartzman
, is also strong.

Some of Miami Beach's quietest and most historic neighborhoods can be found in a chain of small islands connected by a causeway. On Di Lido Island, a community of homes built 50 and 60 years ago is being torn down and replaced, lot by lot. On one street alone, five houses currently are slated for demolition.
Daniel Ciraldo stands across the street from two '60s-era houses that will soon be demolished and replaced by a new home nearly double their combined size.
"We're looking at ceiling heights of around 10 foot per floor. And then, a roof deck on top that's going to loom over the neighbors," Ciraldo says.
Ciraldo is a member of the Miami Design Preservation League, a group that 30 years ago helped convince Miami Beach to preserve its district of Art Deco-era hotels. Now the group is working to save historic homes in Miami Beach's neighborhoods.
As Miami Beach's real estate market has heated up, Ciraldo says, developers have discovered the neighborhoods. Homes on the water costing millions — even historic ones — now are considered tear-downs.
For years he says, Miami Beach saw just two or three demolitions a year in residential neighborhoods. But that's changed.
"In 2012, that number skyrocketed to 24. And in 2013, we're projecting 29. And so we're looking at about 8 years worth of demolitions now happening in one year," Ciraldo says.
Ciraldo and his group are worried about the demolitions and how the new, large houses — McMansions, detractors call them — are changing the character of the neighborhoods. They're also concerned about Miami Beach's history.
A Real Battle
Star Island, a short drive across another causeway, has some of the area's best views. It overlooks Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. Some homes here sell for $35 million.
Ciraldo parks outside of a house that's become the poster child for efforts to stop the runaway demolitions.
"It is one of the most visible and most historic homes in Miami Beach," Ciraldo says.
It was designed and built in 1925 by one of Florida's first architects. But this is where history collides with reality — or at least reality TV. The owners of the home are featured in the Bravo TV show Real Housewives of Miami. Leonard Hochstein is a plastic surgeon who has trademarked his nickname, the "Boob God." His wife, one of the reality TV show's stars, is Lisa Hochstein.
After buying the property on Star Island, the Hochsteins asked Miami Beach for permission to tear it down and replace it with a 20,000-square-foot compound, complete with wine cellar, five-car garage, a guest house and staff quarters.
The city gave permission for demolition, but the Miami Design Preservation League intervened. The group sought to have the home designated historic, went to court and so far have blocked demolition.
In the meantime, the fight has spurred Miami Beach to declare a temporary moratorium on demolitions in the city while it considers ways to update its zoning and better preserve historic homes.
At a recent city commission meeting, Dr. Hochstein charged that the moratorium is aimed at him.
"The moratorium is about punishment. It's about punishing individuals. And nobody knows that more than me — because what myself and my family have had to gone through since we have tried to do something everybody has the right to do and followed the rules enacted by the city in doing so," he said.
Miami Beach Mayor Matti Hererra Bower doesn't quite see it that way.
"How about he's picking on us because he wants to demolish it? And there's more people that don't want that demolished. He's picking on Miami Beach," she says.
The moratorium, the mayor points out, doesn't affect the Hochstein's home or others that have already received demolition permits. If the court ultimately finds in the Hochstein's favor, they can tear down the 88-year-old home and replace it with their dream house.
But Bower says even if the home is lost, the battle has mobilized the community, bringing more and more residents out to city commission meetings.
"They see the quality of life changing. That's why so many people are coming, because 10 years ago, they had never seen a house, what could go next to it. Now they see it," Bower says.
The battle over the future of the home of Star Island will play out in the courts — and also on TV. The Hochsteins angered historic preservationists recently when they spattered fake blood on the walls of the vacant mansion for a gangster-themed party. Among the guests were fellow cast members of the Real Housewives of Miami — and a Bravo TV film crew.

reviews & comments (22)
Two suggestions for this foolproof recipe. Place a damp dishtowel over the phyllo dough once you've unrolled the sheets. It keeps the dough supple and workable. Secondly, invest in a great honey (like chestnut) BUT if you don't have any on hand, put two juniper berries in the syrup and boil with the lemon peel and clove. It will give you the balsamy taste that is characteristic of many Mediterranean honeys.
Crush the walnuts in a thick ziplock bag with a rolling pin to break into small pieces. Use Orange Blossom water 1/2 cup and reduce the water volume by the same amount. I made the syrup ahead of time and used some of it ( about 3 tablespoons ) on the Baklava before I baked it. Watch the video it helps to get an idea of what you should be doing. Note - if you follow the care with the filo pastry you shouldnt have any issues.
A P.S. to my review: I used all the butter and all of the syrup. I did not see the chef's note about 2/3 nuts and did 8 phyllo, nuts; 4 phyllo, nuts; 4 more phyllo nuts and it was still great.
I have made baklava many times and thought I would try a new recipe. This was fabulous! The recipe is sweeter than other baklava and the amount of syrup makes it especially moist and great. My guests put it straight with comments "this is the best baklava I've had"....and this from a group of foodies! The hint: excellent phyllo dough that you keep moist while you prepare it. I served with a small (2-3 oz) of vanilla bean ice cream sprinkled with Penzy's cinnamon.
i haven't made this yet, but i am as soon as i shop. for those of your who were wondering about the other third nuts, the first layer is 2/3 nuts per the video attached. you should watch, the CIA chef sure makes it look easy. i'll write another review after i make it.
This was very well received. I used a food processor to chop the nuts a cup at a time. Easy peasy. I also added the juice from 1/2 lemon and about 1/4 cup of orange juice to the sauce, and the citrus undertone was great. I used, like many others, 1 cup of butter which was absolutely enough.
Wonderful! This tastes better than many restaurant versions I've had. The flavor and texture are top noch. Like other reviewers, I used only 1 cup of butter and most, but not all, of the syrup.
Delicious! Some tips: It's true that you don't need the full 1.5 cups of butter, but I did need one cup. Also, if you don't like your baklava completely drenched in syrup, then don't use the full amount. But I do, and several people agreed it tastes quite good, so use it all if you want!
Highest marks! All the flavours come out with every bit! I do have a couple comments: 1) I used only 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) and of that only used half of it. 2) I had twice as much syrup as I needed. The extra syrup turned out to be great because I am hell bent on making another batch tomorrow! Thank you for sharing this, it is a masterpiece.

Nextdoor's treat map shows you where to find candy on Halloween
Nextdoor's treat maps show you where to find candy on Halloween night.
Nextdoor's treat maps show you where to find candy on Halloween night.
Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia is facing felony hit-and-run charges after an incident that took place last August resulted in injuries for another driver.
Lieutenant Chris Bolton of the Oakland Police Department was skeptical of social media in 2011. As the Chief of Staff for Oakland's Chief of Police and a 13-year-vet at the time, he didn't see the benefits of having a department-monitored social media presence. "Without having tried [social media] and without knowing anyone else in law enforcement who was using it, I associated it with many more risks and consequences than I did with benefits," he says.
Private messaging has captured the attention of the most popular public social networks in the last two months and, surprisingly, this push among tech companies may have a very non-technical driving force. The feature that adds a little privacy to social platforms that thrive on openness has been a point of emphasis since October for Twitter, Facebook, and most notably Instagram.
Nextdoor, the social network designed specifically for neighborhoods, announced a $60 million funding round on Tuesday. The financing comes from just two sources -- venture capitalists John Doerr at Kleiner Perkins and Lee Fixel of Tiger Global Management, said Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia. The funding gives the company $90 million in the bank, he added. Nextdoor had already raised $40 million, spending only $10 million.
The "monthly active users" figure has long been the industry standard for user engagement in social media. It's easy to digest, but more importantly, it's a benchmark capable of comparing the most social of social networks to the new kids on the block.
Nextdoor, the social network designed specifically for neighborhoods, rolled out its Android app on Wednesday. Nextdoor users already generate more than 20% of the site's content using its iPhone app, which launched in May, and CEO Nirav Tolia believes that it won't be long before the majority of users access Nextdoor on mobile. See also: 10 Best Strategy Games for Android Nextdoor has built up social networks to serve individual neighborhoods since 2011.
This is the neighborhood picnic of the digital age. With neighborhood social network, Nextdoor, communities can stay up-to-date with everything from crime, activities and even ask the neighborhood if they can borrow the proverbial cup of sugar. Nextdoor announced on Tuesday that it just closed a new round of funding with existing and new funders: Benchmark Capital, DAG Ventures, Greylock Partners and Shasta Ventures, among others, to the tune of $18.6 million.

No one likes to run into website errors, but they inevitably occur: Links are changed, pages are moved, a post is taken offline, and your site visitors end up following a link to a virtual dead end and an error page.
It's easy to accept this as a fact of life—but armed with a little knowledge, technical know-how, and some inspiration, you can transform your website error page templates from vague and embarrassing to helpful and informative.
And maybe even inject a little humor into an otherwise awkward situation.

Good news, Joomla! true believers—Joomla! 1.6 will be released in its alpha version no later than June 22, 2009, according to Rob Schley, one of the core developers on the project. I enjoyed hearing Rob speak at Joomla! Day New England, held on May 30, 2009, in Brattleboro, Vermont.
Like me, your immediate thought is whether you should download it and start learning the newest version of Joomla!. As an alpha version, it's likely to be full of bugs and landmines. You should definitely not consider using the alpha version to develop a real site for a client. The alpha is expected to be followed shortly by a beta and some release candidates, with the release version due out at the end of 2009.
Normally one might expect that as Joomla! 1.6 is released, Joomla! 1.5 support will become limited. (For example, Joomla! 1.0 support ends on July 22, 2009, and extension support for Joomla! 1.0 has been decreasing for some time.) However, this is not going to be the case.
Joomla! 1.5 will remain the "stable", production environment for Joomla!. The 1.6 branch will be seen as quick-moving and somewhat experimental, as the core development team adds new, badly needed functionalities (better permissions system, multiple categories, and tags among them). As those technologies mature in the 1.6 branch, they might port some of the functionality back to 1.5.
Looking far into the future, Joomla! 1.7 will also be part of the faster moving track of Joomla!, while Joomla! 1.8 may become a new stable version to replace Joomla! 1.5. Both tracks will converge with Joomla! 2.0. (I don't have dates for any of these releases.)
The plan is to support Joomla! 1.5 for at least three years, Jan 2008-Jan 2011. Of course, the further out we get in time, the less defined anything is and the more subject it is to change.

Becoming modern
People use the term "modern" in a variety of ways, often very loosely, with a lot of implied associations of new, contemporary, up-to-date, and technological. We know the difference between a modern society and our less advanced past and it usually has less to do with art and more to do with technology and industrial progress, things like indoor plumbing, easy access to consumer goods, freedom of expression, and voting rights. In the nineteenth century, steam-powered machines and unskilled laborers in factories began to replace skilled artisans. London, Paris, and New York led the unprecedented population growth of cities during this period, as people moved from the countryside or emigrated to find a higher standard of living. Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker of Smarthistory together with leading art historians, and our museum partners have created hundreds of short engaging conversational videos and articles, making Khan Academy one of the most accessible and extensive resources for the study of the history of art.
Introduction—Becoming Modern
As is fairly common with stylistic rubrics, the word "Romanticism" was not developed to describe the visual arts but was first used in relation to new literary and musical schools in the beginning of the 19th century. Art came under this heading only later. Think of the poetry of Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and William Wordsworth and the scores of Beethoven, Richard Strauss, and Chopin. Romantic music expressed the powerful drama of human emotion: anger and passion, but also quiet passages of pleasure and joy. So too, the French painter Eugene Delacroix and the Spanish artist Francisco Goya broke with the cool, cerebral idealism of David and Ingres's Neoclassicism. They sought instead to respond to the cataclysmic upheavals that characterized their era with line, color, and brushwork that was more physically direct, more emotionally expressive.
Early photography
By modern standards, nineteenth-century photography can appear rather primitive. While the stark black and white landscapes and unsmiling people have their own austere beauty, these images also challenge our notions of what defines a work of art. Photography is a controversial fine art medium, simply because it is difficult to classify—is it an art or a science? Nineteenth century photographers struggled with this distinction, trying to reconcile aesthetics with improvements in technology.
Victorian art and architecture
Victoria was eighteen years old when she was crowned Queen in 1837. She ruled for nearly 64 yeas over the vast, powerful, British Empire until she died in 1901. Although the monarchy can be seen as a constant of British tradition, her reign witnessed radical change brought about chiefly by industrialization and the want and reform that resulted. The was a period of contradiction when progress often meant idealizing a lost past.
The birth of the avant-garde in France
In this topic you'll find tutorials on Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism (among others). Throughout the 19th century there were artists who produced pictures that we do not label "modern art" generally because the techniques or subjects were associated with the conservative academic styles, techniques and approaches. On the other hand, modern artists were often called the "avant garde." This was originally a military term that described the point man (the first soldier out)—the one to take the most risk. The avant garde is also used to identify artists whose painting subjects and techniques were radical, marking them off from the more traditional or academic styles, but not with any particular political ideology. "Avant garde" became a generic term for a number of art movements centered on the idea of artistic autonomy and independence.
Symbolism & Art Nouveau
The 1880s saw a shift away from the modern-life focus of Impressionism, as artists turned toward the interior self, to dreams, and myth. There was a sense that Impressionism had been too tied up with the materialism of middle-class culture. In some ways, van Gogh and Gauguin can also be seen as Symbolists. Many Symbolist belonged to groups of artists who broke away (or seceded) from the art establishment in their respective countries, to hold their own exhibitions. For example, Klimt belonged to the Vienna Secession (he was its first president), Khnopff to a similar group in Belgium called Lex XX (The Twenty), and Stuck co-founded the Munich Secession.
America: Civil War to the Gilded Age
Find here the art of Winslow Homer, the expat Mary Cassatt, and work by other American artists in the 2nd half of the 19th century.
Russia: The Peredvizhniki (The Wanderers)
In 1870, a number of like-minded artists formed The Society for Traveling Exhibitions (Obshchestvo peredvizhnykh vystavok), and became known as the Peredvizhniki or Передви́жники (sometimes called The Wanderers or Itinerants in English). This society had as its goals not only to create art that presented an unvarnished representation of contemporary life in Russia, but also to bring art out of the capitals and into the countryside—to the people—to create an art for the nation.
The birth of the avant-garde in France
In this topic you'll find tutorials on Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism (among others). Throughout the 19th century there were artists who produced pictures that we do not label "modern art" generally because the techniques or subjects were associated with the conservative academic styles, techniques and approaches.

Art and the French state
Despite the brief dismantling of the Royal Academy during the French Revolution, art remained an extension of the power of the French State which regularly purchased art that it favored (often art that supported its political objectives). Through the Royal Academy (originally been founded by Louis XIV), the state extended its reach to the official exhibitions (salons) and to matters of style and subject matter through the École des Beaux Arts (School of Fine Arts). These were not just the official institutions of art, they were, in essence, the only institutions available for living artists to train and to make their work known. This tutorial looks at a crucial moment for painting, on the eve of the Revolution of 1848. We also examine one of the great State commissions of the Second Empire, the Opera House.
In the mid-Nineteenth Century, great art was still defined as art that took it's subjects from religion, history or mythology and its style from ancient Greece and Rome. Hardly what we would consider modern and appropriate for an industrial, commercial, urban culture! Courbet agreed, and so did his friend, the writer Charles Baudelaire who called for an art that would depict, as he called it, the beauty of modern life. Courbet painted the reality of life in the countryside—not the idealized peasants that were the usual fare at the exhibits in Paris. The revolution of 1848, in which both the working class and the middle class played a significant role, set the stage for Realism. Later, Manet and then Degas painted modern life in Paris, a city which was undergoing rapid modernization in the period after 1855 (the Second Empire).

Impressionism is both a style, and the name of a group of artists who did something radical—in 1874 they banded together and held their own independent exhibition. These artists described, in fleeting sensations of light, the new leisure pastimes of the city and its suburbs It's hard to imagine, but at this time in France, the only place of consequence that artists could exhibit their work was the official government-sanctioned exhibitions (called salons), held just once a year, and controlled by a conservative jury. The Impressionists painted modern Paris and landscapes with a loose open brushstrokes, bright colors, and unconventional compositions—none of which was appreciated by the salon jury!

The work of van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and Seurat together constitute Post-Impressionism and yet their work is so varied and unrelated, we might never otherwise think of these four artists as a group. Certainly van Gogh and Gauguin were friends and they briefly painted together, but each of these artists was concerned with solving particular issues that had to do with their own individual sensibility. Ironically, if anything ties these artists together it is this focus on subjectivity. This tutorial explores the sketchy multiperspectival views of Cézanne, Seurat's systematized critiques of upper middle-class Paris, Gauguin's fascination with the primitive and exotic, and van Gogh's unerring ability to convey deeply human experiences.
