The sky blackens, the wind rises, a downpour hits the London streets, and Jonathan Pryce enters the room. Voilà. His timing is impeccable. From the look of things those flyaway strands of gray hair, the flash of frenzy in his eyes this guy just rode a storm cloud into the West End.
It isn't the first time Pryce has hitched a ride on a squall. Here in The Ivy, a restaurant wedged into a side street of London's theater district, his countrymen tend to look upon the quiet, unruffled actor the way weathermen look upon the eye of a storm. But in the United States, Pryce probably couldn't get arrested although he might be eligible for a parking ticket. Despite two Tony awards on Broadway and a brace of striking roles in films like Brazil, Glengarry Glen Ross, and HBO's Barbarians at the Gate, Pryce is best known in the colonies as a car salesman the pithy, slightly arch TV pitchman for Infiniti's luxury sedans.
All that may be about to change. Pryce is far too British to admit it his halting speech alone can stop hype in its tracks but the 48-year-old actor is poised for a breakthrough.
First comes Carrington, opening this month. Pryce plays Lytton Strachey, the writer (Eminent Victorians) and Bloomsbury bon vivant who sustained a lifelong partnership with a woman, painter Dora Carrington, even though both knew he was gay. Laced with stinging wit and sorrow, Carrington made Pryce the toast of Cannes in May, landed him the Best Actor prize, and whipped up a gale of Oscar talk. ''I can't deny it,'' Pryce murmurs modestly, ''it's very exciting.''
Then there's Evita. As it happens, today's lunch is a respite from recording Evita's score; after sharing stories with the press, Pryce playing Juan Perón in Alan Parker's film version of the musical goes across town to share a 75-piece orchestra with costars Antonio Banderas and Madonna. ''We spent the week together,'' he demurs, nibbling at a miniature pizza. ''I always find it fascinating and fun to cross boundaries.''
Indeed, Pryce might be the last guy in London you'd expect to tango with La Ciccone and the new Don Juan. He dreads cameras, claims to have little interest in becoming a movie star. ''At celebrity events or premieres, my attendance is nonexistent,'' he admits. ''I just won't go. I'll go to the movie on my own. For me, it's just not fun. You know why you're going there, and it's to be photographed.'' Unlike half the U.K., he has never played an effete villain in an American action flick. ''I'm lucky, I suppose,'' he deadpans. ''It's never worked out.'' Hollywood logic dictates that he permanently pack his bags for L.A., but he lives in London with his companion of 23 years, the Irish stage actress Kate Fahy, and their three children. In the city, he limits his dining to the same three or four restaurants. ''And probably eats the same meal,'' jokes his friend John Lithgow.
''I'm a creature of habit,'' Pryce confesses. His only Pacific Coast indulgence: cruising in that Infiniti. ''It's a great car,'' stresses Pryce, ''and it's one of the reasons I look forward to going to the States. They don't make them here, so I'm forced to drive lesser vehicles.''
But hang up the Hugo Boss suit and clear away the tea set for a second. Before you write off Pryce as the latest twee Merchant Ivory export, there are a few things you should know. He is famous in Britain for playing foul-mouthed skinheads, tongue-wagging Saigon pimps, Hamlet in the grip of supernatural possession. In his younger days, he played The Taming of the Shrew's Petruchio as a drunk who bickered with ushers and brawled his way through the theater. (So persuasive was the performance that an off-duty cop once tried to arrest Pryce in the aisles.) He does not trash hotel rooms, but Pryce is every bit as demon racked as any young Hollywood firebrand.
In fact, Pryce was good friends with River Phoenix. In the weeks before Phoenix died in 1993, the two spent time in the Utah desert shooting Dark Blood, Phoenix's last, unfinished film. ''We had a rather immediate rapport, even though I was twice his age,'' Pryce says. ''He had passions and obsessions. He was a great fan of Brazil.'' They set a date: On a Sunday break, Pryce was going to take Phoenix to meet Brazil's director, his friend Terry Gilliam.
But in the early morning before that meeting, Phoenix died of a drug overdose after a night at the Viper Room. ''It was a terrible shock,'' Pryce says wearily. ''The whole thing was a f---up, from beginning to end.''
Pryce, it turns out, has passions and obsessions of his own. He grew up in Wales, where his father ran a grocery store. One day in the '70s, a kid attacked his father with a hammer. The elder Pryce died two years later, after a paralyzing series of strokes. ''On two, maybe three occasions, I thought I saw my father after he died,'' Pryce remembers. ''Well, I didn't think I saw him. I saw him. It wasn't a ghost. It was an image of my father, but at once it was very, very clear. And he was just standing, looking at me."
For some years preceding that, Pryce had balked at every British actor's time-honored rite of passage: Hamlet. ''I didn't feel ready to do it. I didn't want to do it until I had a reason for doing it.'' Hauntingly, the tragedy gave him a reason. ''Maybe we could interpret it,'' thought Pryce, ''that Hamlet so wanted to see his father that he conjured his father up."
Hence, he watched films of voodoo rituals, of people speaking in tongues. He sat at home with a tape recorder and found a strange voice that seemed to emanate from his stomach and then hid it from the cast for weeks. Finally, when he took the stage at London's Royal Court Theatre in 1980, Pryce summoned the voice of Hamlet's father from his belly. Literally. Instead of hearing the words pass between two actors, the audience watched Hamlet, Pryce, groping and sparring with a spectral growl that rose from his own guts. The performance won Pryce an Olivier award and turned into a West End legend.
''It became very powerful,'' Pryce says quietly. ''I mean, having the chance to play Hamlet with that acknowledgment of my father probably helped me more than I would know. Sometimes, you do get a chance to work things out.''
Pryce may be a creature of habit with lunch, but not much else. Take scripts. Just a few months back, he had a choice between Evita and Eraser, a likely Arnold Schwarzenegger smash. Pryce loved the script for Eraser but noticed that he'd have to engage in a fistfight with the Terminator. ''I reached for the phone and called my agent and said, 'Do they know what I look like?' I'm a good actor, but I'm not that good.''
And Evita? The movie has been delayed for years, the Argentinean government is touchy about letting the crew shoot in Buenos Aires, and oh, yeah it's a musical. ''So I chose Evita,'' Pryce says mischievously. ''I actually found Evita to be more dangerous than Arnold Schwarzenegger.''
Like any eye of the storm, the placid Pryce tends to find himself at the core of wild controversies. His biggest film role came in 1985, when he played the daydreaming bureaucrat in Brazil; Universal deemed the movie unreleasable and, true to its word, hobbled its distribution.
His biggest stage triumph also got snagged on a scandal. Pryce came back to Broadway in 1991 to play a Eurasian pimp in Miss Saigon a part that had won him bravos in London. But since he is not Asian, the Broadway union Actor's Equity banned him from the role, leading to a showdown that nearly put the production on ice. Eventually, he did play it silencing naysayers and winning a Tony but for Pryce, a socialist with steely political convictions, it was a chilling experience. ''I know what it is like to be the agitator, to be the activist,'' he says. ''And it was an extraordinary position to be on the other side, to be the bad guy.''
Carrington, too, first felt like a risky proposition. Writer Christopher Hampton spent nearly 20 years trying to get it to the screen. Countless directors jumped ship, including Mike Newell, who'd cast Pryce in 1992. And to play Lytton Strachey, Pryce had to sweat through the summer in a giant fake beard that was infested with bugs. ''It was terrible,'' Pryce laughs. ''You couldn't get them out. You could feel them moving about. They didn't bite, but it was pretty uncomfortable.''
Nonetheless, Pryce felt driven to get under Strachey's whiskers ''it's the best role I've had on film, something with that kind of range and depth of character'' and his strife ended there. ''He was doing such good work, and he knew it,'' says director Hampton. ''That makes an actor very happy, when they know they're hitting the target.'' Even Pryce, a merciless critic, concedes that Carrington lives up to his stage work. ''My sense of pride has usually been reserved for what I feel doing a theater role,'' he explains. ''This is the first time when I've looked at myself on screen, and I actually quite like what I'm doing.''
No, he isn't ready to trade in the West End for the West Coast, but after the Carrington whirlwind in Cannes, Pryce has started to take a shine to Hollywood hoopla. Some of it. ''There are times,'' he muses with a sly smile, ''when it's fun to be feted, and be photographed, and be part of that whole scene.'' Hint, hint.

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill admits he desperately needs to bolster his squad in the January transfer window.

The Black Cats find themselves just two points above the drop zone after Saturday's 4-2 home defeat against West Brom.
O'Neill feels new additions are needed if Sunderland are to avoid finding themselves involved in a relegation battle this season.
"There are so many games between now and the New Year and my focus is on those games more than anything else," said O'Neill.
"Will I do much in January? I have mentioned before that we have less physicality than most Premier League teams.
"I do think when we get momentum that we should thrust forward, rather than falling back again, which allows opposition to get back into line."

When Ride Along drove into theaters last month and rode off with a record-breaking $48.1 million over the long Martin Luther King Day weekend, the Kevin Hart-Ice Cube comedy was branded a ''surprise success.'' (As of press time, it had raked in $92.7 million.) Also a surprise? The $32.2 million Hart made last July with his theatrical release Let Me Explain, which went on to become the fourth-highest-grossing stand-up concert film ever. And would you like to take a guess how the $91.5 million earned by the 2012 Hart-starring gender-role comedy Think Like a Man was characterized? I'll give you a hint: It starts with an ''s'' and ends with ''urprise.'' The high-energy comedian is fast proving that he has what it takes to fill seats, and with two more films still to go this year the charming romantic remake About Last Night hitting theaters on Valentine's Day and Think Like a Man Too this summer it looks like he's right on the cusp of bona fide megastardom. But the one person who isn't surprised by any of this is Kevin Hart.
''I'm just happy to be finally getting my just due,'' says the Philadelphia-born comedian, 34, who also had a supporting role in last December's Grudge Match, starring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone. ''You're looking at 17-plus years in the entertainment business. I've put the work in.'' Hart's words may strike you as typical Hollywood hubris, but in reality it's less actorly braggadocio and more the matter-of-fact declaration of a CFO reading a bullish quarterly earnings report. If there's one thing you learn talking to Hart, it's that he is a businessman above all else. He has a detailed 10-year plan and throws around the word ''brand'' more often than a cattle rancher. Even his collaborators adopt a similar style of corporatese when speaking about him, such as when the comedian's long-standing producer and close friend Will Packer calls him ''a great content-generator.'' Over the years, he has gone from small parts in peripheral comedies to leading roles, hitting a particularly important milestone in 2012 when he got the gig as host of the MTV Video Music Awards on the recommendation of longtime champion Judd Apatow, who years earlier had cast him on the sitcom Undeclared. And Hart claims each step of the way was mapped out from the start (even if they occasionally turned out to be missteps, like his starring role in the 2004 bomb Soul Plane).
''I've learned it's not just about talent, it's about positioning yourself as a business as well,'' he says. It's hard to think of another actor more involved in directly managing his image. Hart uses social media relentlessly in order to reach out to fans, alerting his nearly 10 million Twitter followers to anything he may be involved with and using Facebook, Instagram, and Vine to promote, cross-promote, and cross-cross-promote his many projects. (For example, on Feb. 14, when About Last Night is released, he's slated to play and undoubtedly shill in his third consecutive NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on ESPN.) ''He's a studio's [fantasy], in terms of marketing,'' says Ride Along and Think Like a Man director Tim Story. ''He just eats and breathes this stuff.'' Hart organizes surprise appearances and free-popcorn giveaways on opening weekends, and he even plays trailers for his upcoming films during stand-up tours anything that might galvanize his fans. ''When you think of a lot of actors and actresses, they're not involved with their fan base, not like I am,'' he says. ''Nobody can promote me like me.''
As a fast-talking comedian with successful stand-up films and a buddy-cop movie under his belt, Eddie Murphy is an easy comparison point, but Hart points to Chris Rock as his career exemplar. ''He's been a mentor,'' says Hart, who has a cameo in Rock's upcoming directorial project Finally Famous. ''Chris is a large part of the reason why I started to tour internationally. He said, 'Kevin, don't just tour here, tour everywhere.''' In an episode of Hart's BET reality-show parody Real Husbands of Hollywood, a guest-starring Rock joked that Hart wasn't actually famous, just ''black famous.'' The fact that Hart's films predominantly do well with audiences of color may be one reason their success is so often framed as a fluke by an industry that has consistently underestimated that portion of the moviegoing populace. For his part, Hart says he's always looking for ways to extend his reach and hit every possible demographic. ''My goal is to make everyone and anyone a Kevin Hart fan,'' he says. ''Expect me to continue what I've been doing, which is trying to take over the world.''

Four Year University Honors Scholar Program
This program, designed for entering freshman, consists of a Freshman/Sophomore phase and a Junior/Senior phase. It parallels the regular university non-honors curriculum from freshman through senior years.
During freshman and sophomore years, Honors students together as a class complete a core curriculum of four Honors courses, which focus on great books and great ideas. The four courses (HON 155, 156, 251, 252) are intended to encourage the students to look beyond the confines of their own disciplines and to develop a more complex, multi-disciplinary perspective.
As part of the curriculum, freshmen also participate in an annual day-trip to the Festival Theater in Stratford, Canada, to attend the performance of a Shakespeare play.
The Junior/Senior phase is designed to promote independent study and scholarship within the student's concentration or major area of specialization.
During the summer of your Junior or Senior year, you undertake a unique off-campus study project. This project allows you to work one-on-one with specialists in the field both at UM-Flint and off-campus. Students have traveled throughout North America and the world for this exciting and life-changing experience.
Your curriculum is also enhanced by an Honors Thesis or special production. You work during your senior year both with the Honors Director and with a specialist in your field, who guide you through this important process. This accomplishment enriches your knowledge of your major field of study and sets you apart from your peers as an excellent candidate for fellowships at graduate schools and entrance into professional schools.
A special interdisciplinary senior seminar is the capstone course for the Honors Program. During the seminar, you will examine a theme or topic across the disciplines.
Students also complete five Honors elections. These are short independent study projects, taken in conjunction with non-Honors courses of your choice. These independent study projects provide a deeper understanding of course material.
Students in the Honors Program have numerous opportunites to attend and present papers at undergraduate and professional conferences. These include the Meeting of the Minds, the Purdue Clement S. Stacy Undergraduate Research Conference, and the Michigan Academy. Each year numerous students in the Honors Program present papers at conferences, and many have their papers published in the conference proceedings. This truly singles you out from your peers as a high-achieving student and an excellent candidate for scholarships and fellowships.
Note: The junior/senior phase of the four year program parallels the two year junior/senior transfer program, but the two programs have somewhat different requirements.

December 21, 2014
SEATTLE (AP) -- Starbucks is shutting down its American stores today, but just for three hours.
CEO Howard Schultz has announced the closure, starting at 5:30 p.m. local time, to energize 135,000 employees.
Starbucks' 7,100 stores across America will participate in the brief barista re-education.
Schultz says he wants baristas to share their passion for making espresso, or as he says, "to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to order and customize their favorite beverage."
Schultz says it's part of his refocusing on the coffee customer experience.
Since the chairman returned as CEO in January he has been making changes to revive Starbucks' growth.

Wow…I think this is the only goal left on my page that I wrote myself.
It's pretty much self-explanatory, but I agree with the farm guy. Living in a city doesn't allow much for this sort of thing, sadly.
Plus I think the idea is particularly romantic. Especially if you both lie still and wholly appreciate each other's presence.

147 Australian Government to Addison
Cablegram 139 CANBERRA, 27 March 1946
Your telegram D.246. [1]
Liquidation of Mandate System 1. We agree that possible courses (a) and (b) should be rejected.
In any event it is hard to see how formal action in relation to a mandate by the League Assembly, as distinct from the Council, could be regarded as having legal efficacy.
2. Whilst appreciating your point that the future of the mandated territories (except the Japanese) has been covered in the declarations made by the mandatories in the first session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, we think that questions will inevitably be asked as to the effect that the dissolution of the League will have upon the mandated territories in the interval before the London declarations come into force. We think the politic course is to forestall these questions by explaining the position in advance.
3. We would therefore propose to declare in the League Assembly that notwithstanding the impossibility of continuing the mandate system in its entirety after the disappearance of the Permanent Mandates Commission and the dissolution of the League itself, we do not regard the dissolution of the League as lessening the obligations imposed on us by the Mandate which we regard as of full force and effect, and that until the coming into force of a trusteeship agreement under Chapter XII of the Charter of the United Nations we will continue to administer it in accordance with the provisions of the mandate for the protection and advancement of the inhabitants.
4. Possibly all the mandatory states might be willing to make at the League Assembly a declaration along the lines suggested in paragraph 3 above. For this purpose the specific reference to the coming into force of a 'trusteeship agreement' might be replaced by a reference to the coming into force of 'other arrangements regarding the territory' or by some similar phrase. With this alteration, the proposed declaration should be acceptable to South Africa. Palestine could be separately mentioned.
5. A resolution of the general character suggested in your paragraph (6) could appropriately take note of any such declaration or declarations, as well as of those made at the General Assembly of the United Nations.
6. Not for juridical reasons but solely from the point of view of public opinion, we think that the mandatories themselves, or some of them, should take the initiative in the directions mentioned above, and should not allow themselves to be placed on the defensive by waiting for questions or criticism, either from other delegations or from the press.

Well. I saw The Dark Knight Rises. I know a lot of people haven't yet, so I'll keep this little review spoiler free.
First of all, I didn't hate the movie. On the same token, I didn't love it, either. I guess I would say it was a solid outing, without feeling really as memorable or as spectacular as the first two.
The movie was three hours long, and I'll admit, it felt like it at times. Some of it meandered a bit, some of it felt a little disjointed, and eventually during the last hour things start coming together and moving at an entertaining clip, drawing to an ultimately (mostly) satisfying finish.
I will say that I've come to enjoy the movie more since I've left the theater than I did while I was actually watching the movie. And I don't mean that in a snarky way. The reflection on the overall story of TDKR I find to be better than the actual three hour experience. I'm not sure that makes it a good movie, but I think it's safe to say it isn't a bad one either. It certainly leaves me curious as to whether or not a second viewing, knowing what's in store now, would be a better watch. That's a three hour experiment I'm not really running to try any time soon though.
Overall, with magnitude of the hype and expectations I think everyone placed on this movie, being the third in a trilogy, and following the incredible Dark Knight, I'm not sure it could have ever lived up completely and wholly in every aspect.
What we ended up with is a decent final chapter of Nolan's Batman story, that I think is just this side of "good enough" but doesn't reach the realm of "great" that we were hoping for.
Below I'll post some of my main gripes with the movie, if you're curious, but be warned, they contain spoilers.
Bane: I think Tom Hardy did a great job, but there were too many annoying factors about the character itself. First of all, he has some ridiculous face mask on, and they never explain what it does to help him beyond "He suffered some serious injury that left him in lots of pain." We never found out how The Joker got his scars either, but in that case the scars did not also cause problems for the audience.
With Bane's mask, 70% of Tom Hardy's face is obscured, leaving him just his eyes to act with. He did a phenominal job, but it makes it hard to connect with the character at all. Additionally, so much of what he said was muffled. This was a big problem in early screenings, so you can tell that the studio did some sort of audio tinkering to try and "boost" his voice audio- it was particularly jarring in the first scene in the plane. It never sounded like the voice was coming from Bane, but rather was voiced over by a narrator.
So we have to deal with the consequences of this mask, arguably the only thing that makes the character unique and imposing (since they ditched the venom aspect of Bane), and we never even find out what it does/why he needs to wear it.
I also disliked how Bruce and Alfred parted ways. I agree that the secret Alfred kept could very well have been a shatter point for their relationship, but to have the whole thing go down like that in a matter of minutes, standing in a stairwell... it felt like not enough weight was given to that scene. And we see no follow-up. Alfred leaves, and Bruce barely makes second mention of it. After decades of being raised and looked after by the guy.
And finally... where the hell were the people of Gotham in this movie? Apart from a busload of kids, you hardly ever saw any citizens... in a city that was supposedly being taken under siege. You barely even see Batman in this movie, apart from his very brief retirement comeback and his also very brief ending comeback, so clearly the story was meant to be about the bigger picture, about saving Gotham. But you never see the people they're all so desperately trying to save. Gotham seemed like more of a movie set for the main events to happen in, than a living breathing city that anyone called home.
With that said, I did like the twist with Talia at the end, and I did enjoy watching Bruce's back get broken, and having him come back from that. I also enjoyed the passing of the cowl that takes place at the end, even though that part is bittersweet because we'll probably never see Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a Batman movie of his own.
I think Begins and The Dark Knight were better, more tightly spun stories, but The Dark Knight Rises wasn't horrible.

Amendment from Merkley and Levin to Crack Down on High-Risk Proprietary Trading
Senators Introduce Amendment Also Aimed at Eliminating Conflicts of Interest Like Those in Goldman Sachs Case
Monday, May 10, 2010
WASHINGTON U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., are introducing an amendment today [PDF] to the Wall Street Reform Bill that will get high-risk proprietary trading out of the nations banks and ensure that other financial companies trading doesnt endanger the banking system. The amendment will help end conflicts of interest like those revealed at Goldman Sachs, focus banks on their primary mission of lending to businesses and individuals, and ensure that taxpayers are never again forced to bail out Wall Streets sour bets.
"It is unacceptable to continue allowing Wall Street to put their short-term gambles ahead of the long-term prosperity of Main Street America," Merkley said. "In the last few years we've seen high-risk trading result in massive taxpayer bailouts for big banks. And in the last few days, we've seen how proprietary trading can cause conflicts of interest when firms bet against securities they help put together for their clients. If a firm wants to spin the roulette wheel on risky bonds and securities, we aren't going to stop them. But they need to take it outside the banking system that millions of American families and small businesses depend on."
"Most Americans can't understand how these financial institutions can make multi-billion dollar bets against securities they sell to their customers and pocket the winnings when those bets succeed, and then have taxpayers bailing them out when the bets fail," said Levin. "This legislation addresses the conflicts of interest that have marked too many Wall Street transactions. Maybe we can't stop the extreme greed that lies behind these conflicts, but we can act to end the conflicts which have allowed big payoffs."
The legislation is similar to the "Volcker Rule" proposed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Of the Merkley-Levin amendment, Volcker said in a statement today, he was "very encouraged by the efforts of Senators Merkley and Levin to clarify and enhance the proprietary trading restrictions contained within the Dodd Bill." The amendment is also supported by Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and the Department of Treasury.
The Merkley-Levin amendment would restrict proprietary trading at banks and other large, important financial institutions. By keeping our banks and other large, complex financial institutions away from these risky activities, the bill will help protect the taxpayer from bailouts and the damage to the economy that comes from the failure of critical financial institutions. At the same time, the bill leaves plenty of space for smaller firms to do speculative trading, but outside of taxpayer-supported commercial banks. Specifically, the bill:
- Bars banks, bank holding companies, and their affiliates and subsidiaries from engaging in high risk speculation involving any stock, bond, option, commodity, derivative, or other security or financial instrument. Also bars those entities from investing in or sponsoring a hedge fund or private equity fund.
- Requires massive, systemically-critical nonbank financial institutions (i.e., giant Wall Street investment houses whose failure will damage the banking system and access to credit) to set aside additional capital to decrease the risk posed by speculative trading.
- Prohibits conflicts of interest such as we saw when Goldman Sachs bet against the packages of securities they assembled and sold to their clients.
The amendment is cosponsored by Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Ted Kaufman, D-Del., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Bob Casey, D-Pa., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., Roland Burris, D-Ill., Mark Begich, D-Alaska, Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Conn., Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Mark Udall, D-Colo., Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Tom Udall, D-N.M.
This legislation has been endorsed by John Reed, the former Chair and CEO of Citibank, Bill; leading economists Robert Reich, and Robert Johnson, Director of Economic Policy for the Roosevelt Institute; and major organizations calling for real Wall Street reform, including Americans for Financial Reform, the Independent Community Bankers of America, the AFL-CIO, Main Street, Alliance, A New Way Forward, Bold Nebraska, California Reinvestment Coalition, Campaign for America's Future, Center for Media and Democracy, Consumer Watchdog, Consumers Union, Demos, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Jobs with Justice, National People's Action, Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project (NEDAP-NY), Public Citizen, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) and Union Plus.

Solar panels aren't usually installed because they're good-looking. But the Swiss design firm Drzach and Suchy thinks that solar power can be beautiful–literally. The pair have created "piksol", a solar-powered pixel that lets architects and designers generate photovoltaic mosaics on building facades.
Drzach and Suchy haven't built a full-sized model of piksol yet–so far, they've just made a small prototype of the shadow-casting panel. But the pair imagines that a series of piksols attached to a building facade could cast pixel-shaped shadows that form larger images. Of course, the images wouldn't be visible on cloudy days or at night.
We love the idea, but wonder how cost-effective and efficient the piksol would actually be in practice. Here's hoping Drzach and Suchy let us find out!

Boyle begins 500-mile journey for kids
Mark Boyle always stays busy during the months he isn't traveling with the Indiana Pacers. You might have seen him last summer serving up lattes at various Hubbard & Craven coffee shops. He can often be heard on the local radio airwaves talking about sports and current events.
This summer he is going on a 500-mile race. Only Boyle isn't joining the IZOD Indycar series, he walking 500 miles around the state of Indiana. What started as a simple personal challenge has turned into something much bigger and more meaningful.
"I wanted to see if I could walk 500 miles, just as a physical challenge. I've been involved at the (Indiana Children's) Wish Fund for a number of years and I thought, if I'm going to walk anyway, I might as well see if I can raise money and I can't think of a better cause or group to do it for than the Wish Fund.
His journey is starting to get quite a bit of attention and Boyle hopes raises quite a bit of money to help make local children's wishes come true.
The following letter from Boyle about the "Wish Walk" can be found at www.thewishwalk.com
Over the years, I've tried to use my time off in the summer to try different things. I've been piranha fishing in the Amazon, spent the summer with a minor league baseball team in Montana, performed in a play at the Indiana Repertory Theatre, and last season I worked part time in a coffee shop to raise money for a scholarship fund.This summer, I've come with something that I'm very excited about, and I hope you'll become involved in this project with me.Starting August 17th, I'll spend five weeks walking 500 miles around Indiana to raise money for Indiana Children's Wish Fund.I wanted to challenge myself physically it seems to me that if I don't drop dead, a 500 mile stroll should do the trick and see if I couldn't generate some funds for a good cause at the same time. I came up with this idea last winter, and have been gradually getting ready ever since.I've been walking between 50 and 80 miles a week for the past few weeks, and though I certainly feel that mileage physically, so far I've suffered no serious wear and tear and my body still appears to be in relatively good working order.I think.There are any number of worthy causes I could have chosen for this project, but Indiana Children's Wish Fund has always been special to me. I've been involved with the Wish Fund for a long time, and I've seen how these children face often untenable situations with courage, determination, and resolve that is nothing short of inspirational. I consider it a privilege to carry the Wish Fund banner on this journey, and it is my hope that you'll join me in helping these children realize their wishes. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.Mark Boyle

Ingredient of the Week - Purple Artichoke
Purple Artichoke
Originally uploaded by Foodmomiac.
More artichokes!
This gorgeous speciman is a purple artichoke. Not only are they gorgeous, but apparently they have a higher nutritional value than the standard green artichoke. Love that!
I found these at Rhodes, my favorite local produce joint. It's a small, family owned store, but they always have the very best local fruits and vegetables. They also carry some more unique items including tamarind, fiddlehead ferns, sugarcane and... purple artichokes!
I am a huge proponent of roasting vegetables. Give me a head of cauliflower, a bunch of asparagus or some juicy turnips, and into the roasting pan they go. But, for some reason, I had never considered roasting artichokes! I always steamed them, an annoying proposition that never seemed worth the effort. This past month, though, I began seeing a lot a bunch of recipes that called for roasted artichokes. How novel!!
As soon as I saw these gorgeous purple thistles at Rhode's, I knew that they were bound for my oven. I trimmed the stems, cut them in half, scooped out the hairy choke and rubbed both sides with extra virgin olive oil. I then seasoned them generously with salt and freshly ground pepper and popped them into the oven at 400 degrees. After about 20 minutes, I lowered the temperature to 350 degrees and cooked them for 15 minutes more.
These were a revelation. The flavor was nutty and rich. The texture was perfect. I cut out the hearts and used half of them in a Spinach Artichoke Dip. (The other half was eaten standing up at my kitchen counter.) My father-in-law and I devoured the leaves at the dinner table. They would have been lovely dipped in a tangy aioli, but, honestly, they didn't need it. The flavor of the roasted leaves was good enough on its own.
I will be back at Rhode's this coming weekend. I hope these are still around!

|Eliciting Tacit Knowledge with a Grammar-targeted Interview Method
|Zappavigna, Michele
|Systemic Functional Linguistics
Knowledge Management
Tacit Knowledge
|Issue Date:
|Tacit knowledge represents a challenge to knowledge elicitation due to the assumption that this type of knowledge cannot be articulated. We argue that Polanyi's (1966:4) widely cited notion that "we know more than we can tell" represents a weak model of language that does not acknowledge the grammatical patterns in spoken discourse that we, as speakers, apply tacitly. We investigate the hypothesis that individuals articulate what they know through grammatical patterns, referred to as under-representation, without direct awareness. This thesis develops and pilots a grammar-targeted interview method aimed at unpacking specific grammatical features that occur in spoken discourse. The model of language from which these features are derived is Systemic Functional Linguistics. We report findings from three empirical studies of tacit knowledge in corporate organisations where we used the grammar-targeted interview technique to elicit tacit knowledge in the areas of knowledge management, requirements analysis and performance reviews. We compare this interview method with a content-targeted approach. The results show that the grammar-targeted technique produces less under-represented discourse thus allowing tacit knowledge held by the interviewees to be made visible. Based on the linguistic analyses undertaken in these field studies we propose that Polanyi's expression "we know more than we tell" be reformulated to "we tell more than we realise we know".

PLANT CITY, Fla. – The Atlanta Silverbacks women's soccer team scored early and often to defeat VSI Tampa Bay 3-2 in a rain-shortened game in Plant City, Fla. on Saturday afternoon.
The matchup puts Atlanta (3-2-1) in a three-way tie for first place while VSI (1-5-1) remains in last place in the Southeastern Conference.
The Silverbacks took an early lead, with two goals from Savannah Jordon in the opening 10 minutes of the match. The first unassisted goal from Jordon came in the fifth minute of play, followed by a brilliant ball from midfielder Kristin Burton that resulted in Jordon's second goal in the eighth minute.
VSI recovered quickly, pulling a goal back via an unassisted effort from Sharla Passariello in the 24th.
Stacy Bishop tallied the second VSI goal after a penalty kick was awarded for defender Alexandra Eagle's efforts. Eagle's shot deflected off the arm of an Atlanta defender inside Atlanta's box.
The game continued through light afternoon showers with a free kick in the 43rd sealing VSI's fate as the Silverbacks fired it into Che Brown's box. The ball bounced to Atlanta midfielder Cherie Sayon, who was able to restore the Atlanta lead.
As second-half substitutions began to warm up on the field lightning lit up the afternoon sky, sending everyone off the field and into the concourse of Plant City Stadium. The strike was the first of many and the thunderstorm continued for hours at Plant City Stadium, causing the game to be officially called as final.
The Silverbacks now look forward to their trip to Dayton, Ohio for two games against the Dutch Lions on June 28 and 30. The games will serve as the final road matchups for the Silverbacks.

NASA's Webb Telescope Gets Its Wings
WASHINGTON, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A massive backplane that will hold the primary mirror of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope nearly motionless while it peers into space is another step closer to completion with the recent assembly of the support structure's wings.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO)
The wings enable the mirror, made of 18 pieces of beryllium, to fold up and fit inside a 16.4-foot (5-meter) fairing on a rocket, and then unfold to 21 feet in diameter after the telescope is delivered to space. All that is left to build is the support fixture that will house an integrated science instrument module, and technicians will connect the wings and the backplane's center section to the rest of the observatory. The center section was completed in April 2012.
"This is another milestone that helps move Webb closer to its launch date in 2018," said Geoff Yoder, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope program director, NASA Headquarters, Washington.Designed, built and set to be tested by ATK at its facilities in Magna, Utah, the wing assemblies are extremely complex, with 900 separate parts made of lightweight graphite composite materials using advanced fabrication techniques. ATK assembled the wing assemblies like a puzzle with absolute precision. ATK and teammate Northrop Grumman of Redondo Beach, Calif., completed the fabrication. "We will measure the accuracy down to nanometers -- it will be an incredible engineering and manufacturing challenge," said Bob Hellekson, ATK's Webb Telescope program manager. "With all the new technologies that have been developed during this program, the Webb telescope has helped advance a whole new generation of highly skilled ATK engineers, scientists and craftsmen while helping the team create a revolutionary telescope." When fully assembled, the primary mirror backplane support structure will measure about 24 feet by 21 feet and weigh more than 2,000 pounds. The backplane must be very stable, both structurally and thermally, so it does not introduce changes in the primary mirror shape, and holds the instruments in a precise position with respect to the telescope. While the telescope is operating at a range of extremely cold temperatures, from minus 406 to minus 360 degrees Fahrenheit, the backplane must not vary more than 38 nanometers (about one one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair). The thermal stability requirements for the backplane are unprecedented.
