NEW WILMINGTON, Pa ? Dr. Russell Martin, Westminster College professor of history, spent a week in Moscow during March and was awarded a medal by the Head of the Russian Imperial House, Grand Duchess Maria of Russia.
Martin attended "The Imperial House of Romanov: 400 Years of Service to Russia" conference. It was organized by the Russian Nobility Association and the Russian social organization "For Faith and Fatherland" at the Alexander Solzhenitsyn Foundation. The Grand Duchess attended the opening session of the conference and awarded Martin the new commemorative medal, "The Anniversary of the Ending of the Time of Troubles, 1613-2013."
"I was quite surprised to be given this medal and to have it pinned on me personally by Her Imperial Highness. I am deeply grateful to her," Martin said.
He also received copies of a book he translated titled By the Grace of God: The 400th Anniversary of the Ending of the Time of Troubles, The Reestablishment of the Russian State, and the Ascension of the House of Romanov (1613-2013).
"It was a great honor to work on the book, especially because the Grand Duchess is now presenting it as a gift to important figures in society and government that she meets during her tours of Russia and other places in connection with the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, which is being celebrated this year," Martin said.
Martin attended the official church celebration of the 400th anniversary of the House of Romanov, a patriarchal service held in the Dormiton Cathedral in the Kremlin, served not only by Patriarch Krill I of Moscow and all of Russia, but also by six other metropolitans and archbishops and more than two dozen priests and deacons.
"It was a majestic service - easily the most amazing church service I've ever attended - and made even more meaningful by the fact that the patriarch read off the names of all the tsars and emperors of the House of Romanov, offering prayers for the repose of their souls," Martin said.
That same afternoon, Martin presented a paper in Russian during the plenary session of the conference "Four Centuries of the House of Romanov, A Global Social-Cultural Perspective: A Historical, Documentary, and Biographical Discussion." The conference was held at the Russian State University of the Humanities (RGGU) in Moscow. Martin's paper examined the customs and practices of commemoration of the dead by the Romanov family before and after they became tsars in 1613.
"The evidence I examined, all from archives in Moscow and St. Petersburg, reveals how the dynasty was able to use remembrance of ancestors as a means for strengthening and solidifying their legitimacy as the new royal dynasty in Russia," Martin said.
After the plenary session concluded, Martin was interviewed for Voice of Russia, and then attended the first-ever presentation by the Grand Duchess of the new Romanov Prize at the Russian National Library. The prize is given to leading figures of Russian art and culture. Martin was also able to speak with the Grand Duchess about on-going projects he is working on for the Russian Imperial House and for its official website. Martin was previously awarded the Imperial Order of St. Anna, second class, by the Grand Duchess for his work on behalf of the House of Romanov.
While in Russia, Martin also spent the week conducting research for his upcoming book at the Russian State Archives of Ancient Acts. The book will examine the laws of succession from 1613 to the present.
Martin, who has been with Westminster since 1996, earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a master's degree and Ph.D. from Harvard University.
He appeared on A&E Biography in a broadcast on Ivan the Terrible as an expert on the controversial ruler. He is the co-founder of the Muscovite Biographical Database, a Russian-American computerized register based in Moscow of early modern Russian notables. The Neville Island, Pa., native is not only fluent in Russian, but also reads Old Church Slavonic/Russian, French, German, Latin, and Polish.

Click above high-res gallery of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXTNow that General Motors and Ford have completely abandoned the minivan market for good, the American originator of the species faces only Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia and soon Volkswagen as manufacturers that also offer competitive choices.

fixie for a 15 yr old boy
hi guys, just wondering if its a good idea for a teenage boy to ride a fixed gear. I am told that its a bad idea for them to mash big gears because they damage their knees, so would that apply to the fixed gear?
Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
I know plenty of kids that age that ride track and race on the track.
Are you referring to fixie as in road riding? i would recommend at least giving them a front brake and a smallish gear (77inch which is a 46T chain ring and 16T sprocket)
Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
yeah i mean road riding. would the 46t and 16t only be okay for the flats? or would he be okay with it on rises? i know most of that probably depends on personal strength, but would a 46t and a 16t be classified as "too tall" for up hill?
Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
What sorta hills are you talking? What's the lads fitness level? Any prior injuries?
Maybe consider a dual chainring and Dingle setup?
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
Yep, front brake + smallish gears to start, if the fitness is there / no prior injuries, it's just a matter of building up strength first then there is no risk of injury ( to the legs from pedalling anyway ).
Smaller cranks are also beneficial to proper technique, they stop you from mashing, force you to spin and are less strenuous on hips and knees. ( 152mm are available ). This is a luxury though, and i'm sure many would say it's unnecessary.
Just make sure he steers clear of heavy traffic for the first few months riding. Actually i'd be more concerned from a "road awareness" perspective and try to build up the necessary skills and experience first. Riding fixed does wonders for this but you need to have good bike control first.
Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
let him learn his road craft first on a free wheel. fixies are great, I commuted using one for quite a while, but I started on a free wheel first, even though at the time I had been driving for close to 30 years (so presumably had some road sense/skills). fixies are not something you can just ride and expect to get straight away, get him used to riding SS first, then step up to fixed. riding SS is a challenge in it own right and does not suit everyone. front brake is a must and a legal requirement on the road. as for cranks, I went 180mm cranks, many track sprinters are doing likewise, the theory being more leverage available at lower cadences so less pressure on knees.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
+1 on developing road craft first. I had been riding quite regularly for a couple of years before I tried fixie for the first time and I found myself feeling vulnerable because I knew that it was harder (for a beginner) to control everything.
I've spoken with a few fixie riders who reckon that you need to think much further ahead about what you are doing when riding fixie because of the potential need to slow down quickly and to predict hazards further along the way, particualrly on busy urban and suburban streets.
Perhaps let him hone his skills riding single-speed. Buy a flip-flop wheel and don't let him have the fixed sprocket until he's got a proven track record of safe riding.

Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
thanks for the replies guys. my son does ride a road bike and he wants the fixie for his school commute. on a regular road bike he's quite strong, but wants to start riding a fixie to school. i just wanted to know if he would ruin his knees by riding a fixie for about ~40km each day on school days, with the last stretch being up and down (lower north east road to grand junction for those in adelaide).
Re: fixie for a 15 yr old boy
+1 on freewheel not fixed at first.
42/16 (or similar gear inches like 48/18) is very common for a good reason - it allows you to maintain a good speed on flats and to get up small/moderate hills without too much grinding.

I know what near death looks like. He is strong and wears a hoodie.
It was November 2010 at 8:30 p.m. in Russian Hill, an upscale neighborhood in San Francisco that is generally considered safe.
I was walking home from the grocery store, carrying a bag of groceries in one hand and an iPhone in my other hand.
I saw a man in a hoodie walking in front of me. He turned around. He was a half a block away. But he was close enough to see my flashy new iPhone 4.
I crossed the road to get away front of him, but he came charging at me.
I froze.
He grabbed my hands.
I said, "Please don't take my iPhone, please don't take my iPhone."
I was thinking I didn't want him to steal my photos and contacts, and access my most private data.
He said nothing. He just stared at me. A second later, he punched me in the face.
As I lay on the ground unconscious, he ran away with my iPhone 4 and hopped in a getaway car.
A guy on a motorcycle went chasing after him and took down his license plate number. But the thug was able to get away.
Later that night, my neck hurt and half my face was numb. My back hurt -- it felt like whiplash.
I lay in bed for two weeks. I had nightmares. My mind kept going back to the moment of him charging at me. Images of him punching my face would play out like a horror film. I felt trapped in that memory, in that moment.
Following the event, I went to the hospital twice, and they told me if I wasn't dead already, I'd be okay. There's always a risk of bleeding to death from a head injury.
While that happened a year and a half ago, certain situations still make me feel uneasy and I hesitate going out at night alone.
But I learned something valuable from this experience: I'm not the only one.
In the following months, a handful of men in the tech industry emailed me to say that their wives had been attacked for their phones too. A police department spokesperson told us that an average of six people every day are mugged for their electronic gadgets.
And a lot of the thefts happen in exactly the same way -- a man punches a woman in the face, steals her phone, and gets into a waiting car.
Victims Have A Common Profile
Boonsri Dickinson, Business Insider
Up to 80 percent of the street crimes in San Francisco are robberies of phones, laptops, and tablets, according an assistant District Attorney and several San Francisco cops who routinely work on iPhone theft cases.
They all asked to remain anonymous, as they do not speak for the SFPD on an official basis.
There are about several hundred robberies a month in the city, our sources said.
In San Francisco, a majority of these robberies occur in sketchy or borderline neighborhoods like Bayview, the Mission, the Tenderloin, and the Western Addition.
Crooks are also known to drive out to nice neighborhoods and get out and find a victim to attack. The drive-by robbery is getting more common, where robbers see someone talking on their phone, so they get out and snatch it.
The stolen electronics are brought to some known stores on 7th and Market Street, according to a cop who goes to that area to catch robbers who try to sell stolen goods there.
Criminals usually sell an iPhone for hundreds of dollars in cash or exchange it for dope.
Robbers get a high return on smartphones. If they steal bikes, they get 30 percent. But if they steal an iPhone, they can get up to a few hundred dollars. This is the same as it costs when a person signs up with a new plan with a carrier, so the robbers are getting market value for stolen goods.
Boonsri Dickinson, Business Insider
A sergeant who works on robbery investigations said "the problem is that we can arrest these guys all day long, but they don't get prosecuted."
Prosecutors have to be able to prove that the suspect knows the property is stolen and usually they can't prove that.
An assistant DA in San Francisco, who has worked on many robbery cases, said the vast majority of the robberies happen on MUNI, either on the bus or the electric street trains. Though they aren't usually as violent as my case.
Typically, the victim is seated near an exit door and is using his/her phone when the bus or train stops to let passengers off. The suspect waits until the last minute, grabs the phone out of the victim's hands and runs off the bus or train. Sometimes the person can wait until the victim is off the bus to attack.
Most of the time -- but certainly not always -- the victim is an Asian female of any age.
The thieves tend to wear all dark clothing, and usually a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up.
These attacks are increasingly serious. One police officer recently worked on a case of a 50-year-old Asian woman who was critically injured after she was attacked and robbed of her phone. The woman fought back and was knocked to the ground, where she hit her head. The woman underwent brain surgery to remove part of her skull, and she survived.

Get rid of the Monopoly, get rid of at least these problems for now..
And there you have solved the mystery. Lying (or deception) is a main ingredient in our political system. From election promises to excuses after getting caught in embarrassing situations, our politicians have perfected 'the dancing around the issue' to avoid consequences.
In the political game, it's not what you know or how you feel about an issue, it's who is paying the bills (with a little something extra for good behavior). Somehow, the explanation (for votes or actions) very seldom reveals the truth.
The biggest lie to date is calling our 'elected leaders' representatives. These puppets are not interested in doing what is best for the public (job description). They are bought, paid, and rolled up into a tidy little package, ready to 'sponsor' whoever brought them to the dance.
Next time any politician promises he/she will work for you, ask exactly how -- and watch the dance begin anew.
In the summer of 1933, shortly after Roosevelt's "First 100 Days," America's richest businessmen were in a panic. It was clear that Roosevelt intended to conduct a massive redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. Roosevelt had to be stopped at all costs.
The answer was a military coup. It was to be secretly financed and organized by leading officers of the Morgan and Du Pont empires. This included some of America's richest and most famous names of the time:
Irenee Du Pont - Right-wing chemical industrialist and founder of the American Liberty League, the organization assigned to execute the plot.
Grayson Murphy - Director of Goodyear, Bethlehem Steel and a group of J.P. Morgan banks.
William Doyle - Former state commander of the American Legion and a central plotter of the coup.
John Davis - Former Democratic presidential candidate and a senior attorney for J.P. Morgan.
Al Smith - Roosevelt's bitter political foe from New York. Smith was a former governor of New York and a codirector of the American Liberty League.
John J. Raskob - A high-ranking Du Pont officer and a former chairman of the Democratic Party. In later decades, Raskob would become a "Knight of Malta," a Roman Catholic Religious Order with a high percentage of CIA spies, including CIA Directors William Casey, William Colby and John McCone.
Robert Clark - One of Wall Street's richest bankers and stockbrokers.
Gerald MacGuire - Bond salesman for Clark, and a former commander of the Connecticut American Legion. MacGuire was the key recruiter to General Butler.

(standard disclaimer: the advice that follows is based on my own approach. hopefully, some of this is helpful; if not, feel free to ignore it and do something different. YMMV, etc, etc, etc)
Do a brain dump of everything you are responsible for that is not exactly a project. Examples:
- Maintain my financial health
- Maintain my physical health
- Be a good husband/wife/father/mother/sister/brother/friend/etc
- Keep my car running smoothly
- Keep my house clean & appliances in good working order
- Be the best boss/mentor/employee I can be
- etc...
If you need help figuring these out, look at your current list of projects as well as projects you have completed in the past several weeks/months. What higher purpose does each one serve? For example, tomorrow I will vote in my state's primary election. This is vastly important to me; why? because I have responsibility to take an active role in my government & community -- this is an area of responsibility; add it to the list.
Now that you have a pretty good list, you can go through them and make sure that you have identified an appropriate number of projects for each area of responsibility. Nothing for "be a good child"? maybe it's time to put "Call mom" on the calendar for Sunday. Hmm, here's one for "keep my car running smoothly"... oh yeah, I need to plan for an oil change some time this month; I'm not sure what my schedule will look like, so throw that one on someday/maybe. Whoa! Look at how many "social" things I have on my list! Maybe I need to scale that back so I can spend some time painting the bedroom.... you get the picture...
I do this sort of review on/around the first of each month. It is immensely helpful in terms of ensuring that I maintain a good work/life balance and that I am not neglecting some important area of my life.Last edited by jknecht; 02-04-2008, 03:09 PM.

GTD "current responsibilities" and Covey's "roles" are essentially the same thing. As part of the weekly planning process under Covey, for each role you ask and answer "What is the one thing I can do this week that will have the greatest impact on this role?"
I do this as part of my Weekly Review. As I do so, I check to see to what extent the answer to that question for each role relates to my one- to two-year goals, the 30,000 ft. view.
I don't force the answers to fit my goals. Rather, I question whether my goals are still relevant and in keeping with my gut-level compass if the answers don't naturally support my goals.
This has been a great reality check for me. In a couple of instances, I found a new goal emerge that supplanted an existing one, one that I wasn't as committed to achieving.
This works for me, but of course YMMV.
- Jon
I'll check a detailed list of my 20,000 ft areas during my weekly review if I feel it's due. This is basically a maintenance-check. Is every area in shape? Or do I have to change (and launch projects that support that change)?

WASHINGTON - A new PBS documentary examining possible warning signs for school shootings has used two Northern Virginia schools for part of the setting.
Due to the sensitivity of the topic, the PBS producers signed an agreement with Arlington Public Schools stating that the names of the elementary and high schools would not be identified in the documentary called "Path to Violence." Though Arlington County sent an email alert with the names of the schools, PBS asked WTOP not to disclose the names and locations.
Gun violence and safety in schools have been issues in the forefront since the shootings that killed 26 people in Newtown, Conn.
The documentary is part of the PBS "After Newtown" series that will look at methods used to stop school shootings before they happen.
"There are patterns of behavior, and if you understand those patterns of behavior, if you see them working their way through a child or a group of kids, you can intervene," says Executive Producer Jason Williams.
Williams says 120 school shootings have been stopped by some intervention methods since the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado.
The Virginia schools were used in scenes of children running through a hallway with children's artwork and two teenagers handling what looks like a real gun. The gun was fake, and Williams says all the students were actors.
"Path to Violence" will air on PBS Feb. 28 at 10 p.m.

- Modulation of Incommensurately Modulated Structures Studied by the Maximum Entropy Method (2011)
- In this thesis, modulated properties of incommensurately modulated crystals are studied by the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM). This was done exemplarily on the compounds Rubidium tetrachlorozincate and Chromium pyrophosphate. To do so, the MEM derived (3+1)-dimensional superspace electron density was analysed to receive information on atomic positions and their modulation, and structure refinement by the method of least-squares and interpretation of the difference-Fourier maps were performed to better describe the atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) and to improve the applied structural models. All the MEM calculations are done by the computer program BayMEM. The analysis of this MEM reconstructed density map is done by the computer program EDMA. Our results suggest that the modulation of harmonic ADPs, anharmonic ADPs and its modulation form an intrinsic part of incommensurately modulated structures. We have shown that with a data set of certain resolution and satellite reflections of higher order, the inclusion of modulation of harmonic ADPs, the anharmonic ADPs and the modulation of anharmonic ADPs can significantly improve the fit of the structure model to the diffraction data. Such model then better represents the true nature of the structure under investigation.
- Biochemical analysis of the interaction between transfer ribonucleic acid and exportin-t (2006)
- In this thesis the ternary complex of tRNA•exportin-t•Ran•GTP was studied by biochemical and biophysical methods. Firstly, photocrosslinking was used to determine the contact sites between tRNA and exportin-t. 4-Thiouridine (s4U) was introduced into tRNAPheT.th by in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase and crosslinked to exportin-t by irradiation at 312 nm. The crosslinking was Ran•GTP dependent and could be competitively inhibited by other tRNA species, showing that the crosslinking was the consequence of the formation of a tRNA•exportin-t•Ran•GTP complex. The crosslinked complex of (s4U)tRNAPheT.th-exportin-t after proteinase K digestion was incubated with a primer complementary to the 3'end of the tRNAPheT.th in the primer extension reaction. The elongation of the reverse transcriptase was forced to halt at s4Us crosslinked to peptides, namely, U55, U47, U33, U20. Among them, U47 and U55 were shown to be the major crosslinking sites. U47A mutation was introduced into tRNAPheT.th to test the role of U47. The mutant tRNAPheT.th transcript was still able to bind exportin-t, though a little weaker than normal tRNAPheT.th transcript. In contrast, s4U containing mutant tRNAPheT.th U47A exhibited a much poorer capability to crosslink exportin-t. It is concluded that U47 may be a major contact site between tRNAPheT.th and exportin-t. Secondly, the binding abilities of different tRNA species in calf liver tRNABulk to exportin-t was examined by affinity chromatography on immobilized exportin-t. With a stepwise elution of 250 mM and 500 mM KCl, tRNABulk was fractionated into 2 peaks. Therefore, Different tRNAs bound to exportin-t with different affinity. Among 7 tRNAs tested, the relative affinity to exportin-t ranked as tRNALeuCAG > tRNASerGCU, tRNALeuCAA, tRNASerUGA > tRNASerAGA, tRNALeuAAG > tRNAArgACG. To interpret the different affinity of tRNAs to exportin-t, it is proposed that exportin-t preferentially exports tRNAs that are required the stronger by the protein synthesis machine. The extent of requirement of a specific tRNA by cells is supposed as the ratio between the tRNA concentration in a cell and its codon frequency in the genome, if all tRNAs are supposed to be aminoacylated and transported to ribosome equally. It was found that among 7 tRNAs identified on the 2D urea PAGE, the theoretical estimation of 5 tRNA species upon their requirement by cell ranked the same as their relative affinity to exportin-t. Finally, atomic force microscopy was used to observe exportin-t and its interaction with tRNA in a native and undisturbed state directly. Exportin-t-esterase, immobilized to trifluoromethyl ketone (TFK) modified mica surface, showed a diameter of 15 ± 2 nm.

- The objective of this work is to analyze nano-scaled cylindrical particles by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Three systems with cylinder-shaped particles: (1) Laponite particles in aqueous solutions, (2) Poly(carbon suboxide) particles in binary water/DMF solutions, and (3) Suprastructural aggregates of coil-ring-coil block copolymers in cyclohexane, have been studied by SAXS performing either a Kratky-Compact-Camera in our laboratory or ID2 beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble. The synthetic clay particles, Laponite RD, have been chosen as ideal disc-shaped model particles. In combination of SAXS with static light scattering, the scattering intensities of a concentration serial (volume fraction from 0.0002 to 0.0016) were measured in almost three orders of magnitude of the scattering vector q. Through extrapolation of concentration the scattering intensity at vanishing concentration, i.e. the form factor P(q) of particles was achieved. It shows q-2 decay at intermediate q range, which indicates that the shape of single Laponite particle in aqueous solution is platelet. The plateau of the form factor at low q range implies that there is no aggregate or cluster structure, and the Laponite particles are dispersed completely under the investigated conditions. More detailed structural information was then obtained by fitting of P(q) with disc model. The radii of the discs exhibit a large polydispersity. A radius of 10.5 nm with Schulz-Zimm distribution of Rw/Rn = 1.5 (where Rw and Rn denote weight and number average radius, respectively) was found to fit the form factor perfectly. The thickness of one single platelet was determined to be 0.9 nm. The weight averaged molecular weight and radius of gyration were determined to be 930 kg/mol and 13.4 nm, respectively. The inter-particle interactions of Laponite particles were investigated by the structure factor S(q), from which the effective diameter of interparticle interactions deff was determined for the first time. The strong electrostatic Coulomb repulsion between charged Laponite particles was attributed to the much higher value of deff (= 46 nm), in comparison to 2Rg (= 27 nm). The recently developed multicomponent interaction site model was performed by Harnau to predict these experimental structure factors. An effective potential of interaction, which pays attention to a screened Coulomb interaction as well as an attractive interaction, leads to the best description of the model to the experimental data. By means of SAXS, the size of synthetic polymer carbon suboxide ((C3O2)n) dissolved in binary water/DMF solutions was determined for the first time with radius of gyration Rg = 1.7 nm and molecular weight Mw = 2760 g/mol, which corresponds to a polymerization's degree of about 40. This value is much larger than literature one (5-10). The form factor of polymer carbon suboxide can be described by a semiflexible chain model. The radius of gyration in cross-section RC and molecular weight per unit length ML were obtained to be 0.3 nm and 350 g/(mol.nm), respectively, which can confirm the fact that the chemical structure of poly(carbon suboxide) is repeated pyronic ring, as suggested in most literatures. Thus the structure and size of polymer carbon suboxide were characterized completely by SAXS. Finally, SAXS was employed to analyze a suprastructural aggregation system derived by self-assembly of coil-ring-coil block copolymers. This is a newly synthesized subclass of rod-coil block copolymers composed of a nanometer-sized shape-persistent macrocycle and two covalently attached polystyrene (PS) coils. The solubility of the rigid ring is largely enhanced due to the attachment of the flexible side groups. With suitable length of the flexible side groups (Mw (PS) = 2500 g/mol) the block copolymers can form colloidal-sized aggregates in selected solvent cyclohexane, which were concluded to be of cylindrical shape with the rigid rings packing densely in a tubular way and the flexible side groups arranging outside of the ring. Such aggregated cylinder brushes can be further confirmed to exist as a mixture of cylinder bundles by analyzing the local structural parameter ML (= 25730 g/(mol.nm), molecular weight per nm length of cylindrical objects). In comparison of this value with M0 (= 6500 g/mol, molecular weight of single coil-ring-coil block copolymer) and d (= 0.6 nm, distance of adjacent densely packed rings), the number fraction of coexisted single cylinder, bi- and tri-cylinder bundles was resulted to be 1:1:2. Through fitting by using approximated circular cylinder model the radius of single cylinders was determined to be 2.6 nm (polydispersity 20 percent) with a hollow inside of radius of 1.2 nm.

MOSCOW—President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed into a law a controversial ban on adoptions of Russian children by U.S. citizens, ordering his government to take a range of steps to make it easier for Russians to adopt orphans.
President Vladimir Putin signed a bill Friday banning U.S. citizens from adopting Russian children, raising tensions with Washington as the Obama Administration is trying to win Moscow's support to end the war in Syria. Moscow Bureau Chief Greg White has details.
The law, which has drawn fierce criticism from Russian liberals and even some top government officials for drawing children into the center of a political battle, will take effect Jan. 1, officials said. It leaves in legal limbo about 50 children who were in the final phases of adoption.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says he intends to sign into law a bill that would ban Americans from adopting Russian children. WSJ's Mike Esterl discusses on the ramifications such a law would have on U.S. families seeking adoption, and how it could further harm U.S.-Russia relations.
Initially, a Kremlin spokesman said adoptions would stop from Jan. 1. Later, the spokesman told a Russian radio station that six adoptions that had received final approval from Russian courts would be allowed to continue, even if the U.S. parents haven't yet picked up the children. Other Russian officials have said orphans originally destined for families in the U.S. would be redirected to new adoptive parents inside Russia.
The adoption ban was included in a package of measures the Kremlin pushed through parliament to retaliate for a new U.S. law aimed at punishing alleged Russian human-rights violators. That law was named for Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in prison after exposing what he said was a $230 million fraud perpetrated by senior Russian police officials. Russian officials insist his death was an accident.
Also on Friday, a Moscow court dismissed the charges against the last of the prison officials implicated in the Magnitsky case.
The move was criticized by Mr. Magnitsky's former client, hedge fund Hermitage Capital.
"Not a single official responsible for Sergei Magnitsky's false arrest, torture and death or the crimes he had uncovered has been prosecuted by the Russian authorities," Hermitage said Friday. "There is no doubt that people responsible for Magnitsky's death are being protected by the president of Russia."
Kremlin officials have repeatedly denied any coverup.
The Russian ban, if signed by President Vladimir Putin, would go into effect Jan. 1. Zuma Press
The Magnitsky Act has soured relations between Washington and Moscow, which views it as a hypocritical attempt by the U.S. to interfere in Russia's internal affairs. The law Mr. Putin signed Friday includes similar visa and financial sanctions against U.S. officials alleged to be involved in human-rights violations, as well as tough new limits on U.S.-funded civic groups operating in Russia.
U.S. officials have denounced the measure, and U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell expressed "deep regret" Friday over the law. But more senior U.S. officials haven't commented publicly, and both sides appear eager to limit the fallout of the tit-for-tat moves.
Russia is the No. 3 source of international adoptions for the U.S., after China and Ethiopia, according to State Department data. About 70,000 Russian children have been adopted in the U.S. in the last two decades, though the flow has fallen to just under 1,000 annually in recent years.
Russian officials have highlighted 19 cases over the last 20 years where adopted children died from violence or neglect, charging that U.S. courts are too lenient on their parents. But Russian data show that the abuse rate for orphans in adopted families at home is substantially higher.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said Friday that the 19 U.S. deaths "are just the tip of the iceberg," since not all cases are reported.
"On the whole, the situation with adoption in the U.S.A. isn't one of the best," the ministry said, noting that many international adoptions there end unsuccessfully. It said Spain and Italy, also substantial adopters of Russian children, reported no abuse of Russian adoptees.

The ministry also expressed "alarm" about what it called "the general practice of harsh treatment of children" in the U.S., citing among other problems the prevalence of corporal punishment.
Along with the adoption ban, Mr. Putin signed a decree ordering the government to ease the adoption process for Russians and boost benefits for adoptive parents.
But child-welfare specialists said the steps aren't likely to be enough to make up for the loss of adoptions to the U.S., which was the largest single foreign destination for Russian orphans.
"I understand the president's desire to improve the situation with adoption in our country," said Olga Budina, an actress who has run a children's charity for several years and is a frequent spokesperson on family issues. "Today, the system isn't ready" to accept the additional children who would have been adopted by U.S. families, she said.
"It clearly will take more than just a year or two," she said, adding that for some seriously ill orphans, treatment isn't available in Russia. "For these kids, [adoption by Americans] is their only chance."
About 120,000 Russian children are listed in the government's database as candidates for adoption, with only 18,470 Russian families registered as potential adopters. Ms. Budina noted that as adoption has become more popular in Russia in recent years, so have the number of instances where parents returned children because they were unable to cope with.

The decree Mr. Putin signed Friday calls for a roughly 20% increase in the monthly benefit for handicapped children, to about $290. The plan also calls for raising state payments to parents who adopt them, from the current level of about $40 a month. Adoption procedures also are to be streamlined.
The debate over the ban has triggered a surge in interest in Russia's state media after Ms. Budina, the actress, went on a national talk show this week to expose what she said were horrible conditions at an orphanage in northern Russia.
Prosecutors on Friday opened a criminal case against the officials who ran the orphanage. Ms. Budina said she first began publicizing the problems at the orphanage more than a year ago.

Crisis in the Ukraine Could Impact Outsourced Semantic Projects
The last few months have been witness to the Ukraine crisis, with antigovernment demonstrations in the wake of former President Viktor Yanukovych tightening ties with the Kremlin, his fleeing the country following a rebellion against him, and the annexation of Crimea by Russia. Tensions continue between Ukraine, which plans new presidential elections for May 25, and Russia. Just today, the mayor of Kharkiv, reportedly an opponent of the pro-West protests, was shot in the back, while the U.S. is imposing new sanctions on Russian government officials, including two members of President Putin's inner circle and 17 companies linked to that inner circle.
Obviously, there are big issues at stake here about sovereignty and nation destabilization, but the situation also has implications for the IT sector. That includes the advancement of semantic projects around the world.
The Semantic Web Blog, for example, recently heard from a contractor working on a semantic project for a website that the effort has fallen a bit behind schedule due to, among other things, geopolitical events. One of its developers was a Russian national working in Ukraine who left the country when Putin annexed Crimea, he said.
Another source who preferred to remain anonymous, and whose semantic technology and IT outsourcing company is located in another Eastern European country, said that his company has already been contacted by a few businesses in the U.S. that had been securing services from software companies in both the Ukraine and Russia. Because of the situation, he said, these companies told him that they are now exploring their options in Eastern European countries that are members of the European Union. In such locations, including his home country, they can find great engineers and still quite competitive rates on the labor side, he noted.
That said, it was clear that that wasn't the road to new business that this semantic tech executive prefers to travel down, as he noted that World War II and the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe is still within the living memory of people in these countries.

This heated mattress pad earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it generated the most consistent warmth and was the most comfortable. The Best Heated Mattress Pad's temperature fluctuated by only 0.61° F across its entire surface over eight hours, proving to be the most consistent of any model tested. Panelists who slept on the mattress pads lauded The Best model's soft cushioning and virtually undetectable heating elements. Earning a perfect score for durability, The Best model did not shrink or fray after repeated machine washing. Dual LCD controls for the king and queen sizes allow two sleepers to set their own temperature preferences from 10 heat settings and the heating elements shut off automatically after 10 hours. For mattresses up to 18" deep.
"It's made the rest of the winter much more comfortable. The accuracy with which it maintains the chosen heating level is amazing. In my opinion, this mattress pad is far superior to even a good electric blanket." - S.U., New Jersey

Perfect Nighttime Comfort
By Satisfied user
from Princeton, NJ
It's made the rest of the winter much more comfortable. The accuracy with which it maintains the chosen heating level is amazing. In my opinion, this mattress pad is far superior to even a good electric blanket.My one suggestion is that the cord between the control and the blanket bottom should be made longer so it can reach from the foot of the bed to a nightstand or other location at the head of the bed.
Great Product
By Nj
from Michigan
A gift for my husband who said it was the best gift ever! He said he sleeps through the night now - he loves it!! Highly recommend.
It's fantastic!
By Satisfied Sleeper
from Allentown, PA
It warms the bed so that sleeping in a cold room is really comfortable. I also noticed that it helps my back, with much less morning pain than I used to have. My husband loves it, too - he says it's the best Christmas present I've ever given him!
Everything I was hoping it would be.
By Mark
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife, because by morning I always end up with all the covers on my side of the bed. A mattress pad can't be pulled, so she will always have something to keep her warm. I ended up giving it to her two weeks before Christmas and we are both very glad that I did so. Might not seem like a romantic gift -- but what can be more romantic than a warm, inviting bed?
This product is better than best!
By Candy
from Monroe, NC
This mattress warmer is exactly how it is described in the catalog - the best!You do not feel any of the elements and when you touch the mattress when it is on, there is no sensation of it being warm; however, jump into bed and it is like a day at the spa. Even our cats love the warmth of it.I would recommend this product to all friends and family with NO hesitation.

Had it about a week and it is excellent. My wife gets cold at night and this allows her to heat up her side of the bed without making it uncomfortable for me.
Best heated Mattress Pad
By beansprout
from Vancouver BC
Comfort warmth makes feel all cozy. There are no hot spots as the entire surface is heated gently. You can not feel the heating wires. Far more comforting than a heated blanket.
So far it's good...
By Oblivious Crawg
from Bryan/College Station, TX
First, it's very comfortable to lay on, and it does its job of heating the mattress up for comfort. I've used it many times, but never really needed it higher than a 4 on its settings. Having the two zones is nice and very useful.I have some concerns about the longevity of the meshlike material used for making it fit on the mattress, but since I've only had it for a couple of weeks now, I don't have any issues with it yet.If you're clumsy like I am occasionally you can get scratched pretty well by the plastic connectors where the cord connects to the mattress when tucking in your sheets - but I'll attribute that to user error.The mattress pad is comfortable and the warming feature works very well. Overall a very nice purchase so far - hopefully it holds up over time.

Porcelene Jazz, the latest night spot around Damansara Perdana opened its doors for the media launch last week. The grand launch will be happening soon. Located in Empire Damansara Perdana.
Okay back to where we are….
Definition of Coup De Foudre! – A sudden unforeseen event or instantaneous and overwhelming passion, such as love at first sight; it is French, literally, "stroke of lightning."
HELLOOO Porcelene Jazz Night!
In an attempt to revolutionize Malaysia's F&B scene, Porcélene is committed to raise the bar in regards to the level of sublime gastronomical satisfaction, beverage alchemy and live music entertainment value. Our goals in our Asian-European Fusion menu is to introduce a fun and flavorful menu that is acceptable to the local and a visiting foreigner's palate. We challenge ourselves daily to find that perfect balance in taste with our twisted version of classic dishes.
Check out Porcelene interior decor. Pretty, comfortable decor of Porcelene Jazz
Pretty, comfortable decor on the Mezzanine floor at Porcelene Jazz
More dining spots on the mezzanine floor of Porcelene Jazz
A bird's eye view from the first floor of Porcelene Jazz
We strive for originality and ensure that our kitchen team uses fresh and unique ingredients whenever they can. You can always expect a wholesome and eye opening meals at Porcélene, especially when you are adventurous with your palate.
-source: http://www.porcelene.com.my/
Well as some of my friends know that I am staying at Empire Damansara, Porcelene was the first F&B outlet to open in Empire Damansara, and I was pretty pleased with the whole decor and setup of the restaurant. Introducing itself as the spot for food, being a bar and lounge too, Porcelene aims to please its patrons with nice live band music and good food. Good news for me, i can go to porcelene quite often from now onwards.
We were brought around the restaurant, comprising of three floors, each having a different theme to it.
The logo itself was really cute, depicting a blue pigeon playing the saxophone.The night kicked off with some scrumptious offerings by Porcelene, with white and red wine too, to pair with the food.
Food was served buffet style. Good for us!
There were many dishes served that night. We had a total of 10 dishes including dessert, namely the Hahm Yoke Than Sotong, Cajun Cutlets, Premium Beef Strip Asparagus, Pizza Number Ten, Pantai Timur, Paella De El Submarino Amarillo, Signature Aglio Olio Di Nero, NYC Short Ribs, Roman Salmon Roast and their Signature Tiramisu.
Jazz music themed wall decor at Porcelene Jazz
So I was told Porcelene Jazz offers acid jazz music and is marketed as Malaysia's first Acid Jazz Bar & Restaurant.
Overall Porcelene Jazz is a very nice spot to unwind with good music and food after work. Being one of the first restaurants launched in the very new Empire Damansara does help to boost up its image. The early bird catches the worm, or in this case, I think it would be the early blue pigeon of Porcelene Jazz. Do check out this place should you be in the vicinity.
Lastly, Thanks to Porcelene Jazz for the freebies.

According to recent report, eight percent of children have peanut allergies. In this edition of Child Wellness Wednesday, Marcie Fraser tells us why those food allergies are on the rise.
"It's more common, we aren't entirely sure why. We are seeing more of it in the last ten to twenty years than before," said Dr. Terese Copeland, an allergist.
Peanut butter has been around for a long time, so why the increase in allergies to it? Some experts say it's because the way the peanuts are processed has changed. A heightened awareness of the allergy also helps.
"It's more prevalent, I think, in part because we are identifying these people more and we are talking about it more, so the schools are becoming more aware of that and there are many kids that are going to school who have a peanut allergy," said Dr. Copeland. Younger children need to be monitored more carefully. As a child gets older, they become aware of their allergy and can often manage avoiding peanuts themselves, but let people know.
"School bus driver, the athletic coaches, teachers and the administration, even the janitors if there is anyone in facility who has severe allergy," said Dr. Copeland.
Unfortunately, not everyone is tested and the first time an attack occurs, the severity of the reaction is unknown, some can be mild.
"Itching and maybe a hive or two and can get by with Benadryl and watch the person," said Dr. Copeland. Other reactions can be severe.
"If there is any question an airway is involved, if the child coughing or hoarse or shortness of breath, any doubt - use an Epi-pen and bring the child to the emergency room," said Dr. Copeland.
Dr. Copeland does caution if you have been treated for an allergy reaction, look for a possible second phase reaction, which can occur four to six hours later.
"Sometimes they go to are may or may not get epinephrine injection and are sent home and possibly, when they get home, they get symptoms and when they are home you have to watch," Dr. Copeland.

Yinka Shonibare: Globe Head Ballerina
Royal Opera House
Sun Mar 24 2013
- Free
Copyright Giuseppe Penone, Courtesy Haunch of Venison
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Jun 20 2012
A commission by artist Yinka Shonibare, produced by Up Projects for the Royal Opera House. Titled 'Globe Head Ballerina', the work is inspired by a famous photograph of ballerina Margot Fonteyn. Shonibare's sculpture depicts a life-size ballerina, modelled on Melissa Hamilton, a soloist with the Royal Ballet. Encased in a giant 'snow globe', the figure, whose head is a replica Victorian globe, rotates slowly. Her tutu is made of fabrics that are synonymous with Shonibare's work and his exploration of the ambiguities of heritage and identity; originally manufactured by the Dutch for sale in the Indonesian market, the fabrics have become a symbol of African identity, having eventually been sold to the colonies in West Africa. The work is displayed on the exterior of the building overlooking Russell Street and will remain in place for five years.
