The openly gay actor with the leading man looks has been cast in the action-drama The Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, according to Deadline Hollywood.
The film, scheduled to be a summer 2016 release, is set in the 1970s and takes place in 1970s Los Angeles.

In demand actor will squeeze in guest spot with filming of Magic Mike 2
Matt Bomer, up for an Emmy tonight for his performance in The Normal Heart, has landed a role on the new season of FX's American Horror Story which is titled Freak Show.
Creator Ryan Murphy, who directed Bomer in The Normal Heart, had been keen to have the red-hot actor appear in the series now that Bomer has completed his final season of White Collar.
'I try to get him to do everything for me,' Murphy tells Entertainment Weekly.
White Collar star has issued challenge to famous friends Mark Ruffalo, Joe Manganiello and Zachary Quinto
Matt Bomer has gotten cold and wet for a good cause.
The White Collar star is one of the latest celebrities to agree to participate in The Ice Bucket Challenge which got started on social media as a way to raise awareness and money for ALS.
ALS is the neurodegenerative condition also referred to as Lou Gherig's disease.
In this adorable video, Bomer gets doused on the beach in California by his three young sons with husband Simon Halls.
Emmy nominated actor and cast enjoyed a six-season run
Matt Bomer has filmed his last episode of White Collar, the USA Network action- drama that made him a star.
Bomer tweeted on Monday (4 August): 'Last day at White Collar-I love this family so much. Thank you to everyone who supported us over the years-we wouldn't be here without you!'
The show debuted in 2009 with a then little-known Bomer in the lead role of ex-con Neal Caffrey. As a way of staying out of prison, Neal agrees to help the FBI catch other white collar criminals and works with an FBI agent played by Tim Dekay.
Co-star Patrick Wilson's character is bisexual in the Science fiction dark comedy
The trailer for a new feature film starring Matt Bomer has been released this week but it is not the openly gay actor playing the not so straight role.
In Space Station 76, described as a Science fiction dark comedy, it is co-star Patrick Wilson who plays a character who is struggling with bisexuality.
Bomer, currently filming the sixth and final season of TV's White Collar, plays the role of Ted, a mechanic married to a woman named Misty (Marisa Coughlan).
Out stars Matt Bomer, Kate McKinnon, Jim Parsons, Sarah Paulson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Nathan Lane, and Jane Lynch among the nominees
When the 66th annual Primetime Emmy nominations were announced this morning, those keeping an LGBTI scorecard had plenty to keep track of.
In addition to Laverne Cox making history as the first trans actress to receive a nomination for her role on Orange is the New Black, there are numerous out gay, lesbian and bisexual nominees.
'We could do it tomorrow and make some salacious version of the story and that's not what I'm interested in'
Matt Bomer still hopes to portray closeted gay actor Montomery Clift in an upcoming film.
But the actor makes clear he will only participate if the project is handled with respect.
Clift was one of Hollywood's biggest stars in the 1940s and 50s and had a life-long close friendship with Elizabeth Taylor (pictured with him, below), his co-star in A Place in the Sun, Raintree County and Suddenly Last Summer.
Jim Parsons also wins for The Big Bang Theory
HBO's The Normal Heart, the long-awaited movie version of Larry Kramer's acclaimed play, was a big winner at the Critics' Choice TV Awards on Thursday (19 June).
The film about the early days of the AIDS crisis in New York City won the award for Best Movie over An Adventure in Space and Time, Burton and Taylor, Killing Kennedy, Sherlock: His Last Vow, and The Trip to Bountiful.
Matt Bomer, who played a New York Times reporter dying of the disease, took the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Mini-Series or Movie.
'I think he changed me for the better. I grew from getting to play him'
The Normal Heart had its premiere on HBO last month but the film is still being talked about because it is expected to be nominated for multiple Emmy Awards.
Matt Bomer, considered a shoo-in for a supporting actor nod, admitted to the Los Angeles Times' awards section The Envelope why has been unable to let his character of Felix Turner go.
'I stay completely unhooked when it comes to social media'
It is one of the world's most famous lesbians, Ellen DeGeneres, who holds the record for the most retweeted photo in the history of Twitter thanks to her Oscar night all-star selfie.
The talk show host is a prolific tweeter and last week, got fellow out star Matt Bomer started on the social media site. In less than a week, Bomer has more than 235,000 followers.
Says Bomer: 'It's kind of a road trip film that leads to a stripper convention'
Basking in the critical and popular success of The Normal Heart, Matt Bomer appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday (31 May) to talk about that film and his next one.
Bomer shared how reading Larry Kramer's play The Normal Heart when he was a teenager really changed - and probably saved - his life.
'It encouraged me to practice safe sex,' he said. 'But also, I knew that somewhere out there, there was somebody who understood me and would stand by me.'
'There is so much work still to be done, but there's also so much potential'
Entertainer and AIDS activist Elton John is hoping the HBO drama The Normal Heart will serve as a reminder to people that AIDS has still not been cured.
'Today, we know how to protect everyone, and we have the ability to treat every single person living with HIV," he writes in a first-person column Friday for CNN.
'I felt it was best for me to be away at that point in time until I sort of finished the project and could start eating again'
Matt Bomer's shockingly frail appearance in the second half of The Normal Heart not only required tremendous physical deprivation, but emotional sacrifice as well.
The actor, who plays journalist Felix Turner in the film which premieres Sunday (25 May) on HBO, lost at least 40 pounds for the role (he has not given an exact figure beyond that) to realistically portray a man dying of AIDS.
Author wanted assurance Murphy was brave enough to show what gay life and AIDS crisis was like
When The Normal Heart author Larry Kramer sat down with Ryan Murphy to discuss making a movie version of his landmark play about the early days of the AIDS crisis, the outspoken Kramer was very 'bold' with his questions.
Murphy recalled part of their initial conversation at a special screening in Los Angeles on Wednesday (21 May) attended by Gay Star News: 'He said: "Are you going to show cock? Are you going to really go for it? Are you brave enough to show what it was really like?"'
'They were nervous but they were game. They knew it was an important part of the story. They went for it'
The Normal Heart director Ryan Murphy reveals that the intense sex scenes between the characters played by Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer came to fruition with the help of an on-set 'sex choreographer.'
In the movie, which premieres on HBO on Sunday (25 May), Ruffalo plays AIDS activist Ned Weeks while Bomer plays his lover Felix Turner, a journalist.
'Matt was just so physically weak ... it was a very moving thing to witness'
Matt Bomer has steadfastly avoided saying exactly how much weight he lost to portay an AIDS victim in HBO's The Normal Heart but it was enough to leave director Ryan Murphy emotional when first seeing him.
During a four-month break in filming for the fit and trim Bomer to be able to lose more than 35 pounds, Murphy said the actor would send him photos of his progress.
'I would say,"Please get your blood checked! ... I was nervous,' Murphy admitted in an interview this week on HuffPost Live.
Says actor: 'It should not be done without medical supervision'
After losing 35 pounds, Matt Bomer said he stopped counting.
The actor had filmed the scenes of HBO's The Normal Heart during which his character is healthy then during a four month break in filming, the really hard work began.
Bomer went on an extreme weight loss plan in order to realistically portray his character dying from AIDS.
He told Jimmy Fallon during a visit to The Tonight Show this week that he began by going on a 21 day fast. When he resumed eating, it was only 300-400 calories per day.
'I frankly did not think people would be that interested. I certainly didn't think it was going to be on the CNN ticker'
When Matt Bomer publicly thanked husband Simon Halls and their three children while accepting an award at a 2012 Desert AIDS Project event in Palm Springs, he wasn't expecting headlines.
But he got them.
'I frankly did not think people would be that interested. I certainly didn't think it was going to be on the CNN ticker,' the actor says in an Out Magazine cover story published today.
'That's what I signed up for ... and it's the least I could do for (playwright) Larry Kramer'
Viewers will see a much different Matt Bomer when the AIDS drama The Normal Heart premieres on HBO next month.
Bomer will initially appear to be his trim, athletic self that viewers of his TV series White Collar are used to seeing. But his character of Felix Turner, a gay New York Times character, then begins to waste away after having contracted AIDS.
There's no CGI involved to give Bomer a skeletal figure - the actor worked hard to dramatically lose weight during a three-month break in filming.
Actor reveals that he and Hollywood publicist Simon Halls wed in 2011 - the year before he came out publicly
It was no secret that Matt Bomer isn't single.
But until now, it had been a secret that he is married.
The star of TV's White Collar and of the upcoming HBO movie The Normal Heart has revealed that he and longtime partner Simon Halls have been married since 2011 to Details magazine.
The couple are raising three sons: an eight-year-old and six-year-old twins.
But director Ryan Murphy convinced the playwright that Bomer 'felt the ghosts' depicted in AIDS drama
Director Ryan Murphy felt right away that Matt Bomer was the perfect choice to portray Felix Turner in the long-awaited film version of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart.
But he had to convince Kramer.
Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts and Matt Bomer are featured in biggest look yet inside movie adaptation of Larry Kramer's acclaimed play
HBO today released the first full trailer of its upcoming film The Normal Heart which shows stars Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts and Matt Bomer in dramatic and emotional scenes.
The film, which premieres on 25 May, is based on Larry Kramer's acclaimed play about the early days of the AIDS crisis in New York City.
Roberts, who plays a doctor in the film, says in the film: 'I've never seen or heard of anything like this - it seems to be only happening to gay men.'
Openly gay leading man juggling series with feature film roles
Matt Bomer will have a chance to bid his television alter ego Neal Caffrey goodbye in a shortened sixth season of the USA Network drama White Collar.
The final season of the show will consist of six episodes. The action will pick up from the season 5 cliffhanger that saw Bomer's con man turned FBI informant character abducted, according to Deadline.

Now revealed: Apple's secret testing room for packaging designs
According to the book, the testing room for package design is located in a walled-off section inside Apple's main marketing building. Access requires a special badge and once inside, you will find designers testing hundreds of boxes in order to find the one perfect unboxing experience. In his book, Lashinsky makes a very interesting point. He notes that for Apple, the cheap box gets as much attention as the expensive electronic gadget that goes inside the box. A passage from the book captures the intensity and obsessiveness of Apple's package designers. "One after another, the designer created and tested an endless series of arrows, colors, and tapes for a tiny tab designed to show the consumer where to pull back the invisible, full-bleed sticker adhered to the top of the clear iPod box. Getting it just right was this particular designer's obsession. What's more, it wasn't just about one box. The tabs were placed so that when Apple's factory packed multiple boxes for shipping to retail stores, there was a natural negative space between the boxes that protected and preserved the tab."
This search for the perfect customer experience, even when it comes to just opening a box, comes from the late Steve Jobs who allegedly went through 2,000 shades of beige before finding the perfect one for the Apple II. And even though customers don't usually get to see the inside of Apple's devices, Jobs wanted the innards to look perfect. In Walter Issacson's biography on Steve Jobs, Apple's top designer Jonathan Ive was quoted as saying, "I love the process of unpacking something. You design a ritual of unpacking to make the product feel special. Packaging can be theater, it can create a story."
The video below was made internally by Microsoft as a joke. It shows what the Apple iPod packaging would look like if it were designed by the gang at Redmond.

This has to be the most ridiculous and unnecessary apple 'news' story article yet and is soley made to try keep apple hype going.
However the room is for testing how to get the box made with as cheap as possible materials while also being able to fool ifans into thinking the new boxing changes everything again and paying more for it for the 'experience'.
The box also is being tested in different formats to see which design would be harder for ifans to use and thus would increase the possibility of an ifan dropping an iphone by mistake apon taking the iphone out of the box,forcing them to by yet another iphone.

Its cool opening up an iPhone. It just feels special and different. Like they really put a lot effort in it. I know its not a big deal but I wouldn't expect anything less from apple. It just seems how it should be.
10. wumberpeb (Posts: 445; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
Opening an iPhone box is akin to watching molasses come out of a jar. Hold the top and wait for the bottom to slide out on its own into the table. 15 seconds later and wow! Wait, did I get a 4 or a 4S? I can't tell, the phone looks exactly the same. I waited for this? Dammit!
14. andro. (Posts: 1971; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
careful now,leave that iphone drop out the wrong way and it'll easily shatter apon impact with the table,they're fragile
17. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1650; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)

Changes coming to Rainey Street
Parking is about to become a hot commodity in Austin's Rainey Street neighborhood.
Council members were briefed by city planners Thursday who said that public safety has become a growing concern over the past two years, as the street's exploded as a night scene.
The formerly family-friendly neighborhood currently has a narrow street, no bike lanes and spotty sidewalks. By March, expect to find Rainey Street a one-way street for cars, have dedicated northbound and southbound bike lanes as well as new sidewalks.
"Whenever we put sidewalks in, they have to be fully ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant," Howard Lazarus with the Austin Public Works Department said. "You have issues with cross-slope, as well as running slope. We are going to have to redo all the driveways and the ramps as well as the sidewalks."
Planners expect the improvements to cost $750,000 dollars and to be finished by South by Southwest in March.
Little Woodrow's closer to new location
Little Woodrow's is one step closer to opening up a new location on Burnet Road.
Owners want to transform a former real estate office into a restaurant and bar near Burnet Road and Koenig Lane, but a few Austin City Council members are concerned about the limited parking spaces the site offers.
Neighbors also voiced concerns regarding the proposed bar's proximity to nearby homes.
City Council narrowly passed the plan on second reading with a 4-3 vote.
It will go before council members for a third reading before work can begin.
Deal made with Troublemaker Studios
City council approved a $200,000 deal with Robert Rodriguez's film production company Troublemaker Studios.
In turn, Rodriguez will use his connections in the film industry to promote Austin as a film-friendly city. While Austin is already home to several film and television productions, local film professionals told YNN that Texas' incentives for production companies pale in comparison to other states.
Among a list of conditions, Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios would work to bring at least one major motion picture to Austin every year under a program dubbed the "creative content incubator."
The money for the partnership with Troublemaker Studios will come from the city's Economic Reserve Fund.
Lobbyists issue withdrawn
Council Member Bill Spelman moved to withdraw Item 29, which would have allowed up to four lobbyists to serve on the Land Development Code Task Force.
The task force will be responsible for reviewing Austin's development code and making recommendations to bring the code up to date.
Spelman said developers should have input in the process as the code greatly impacts them, but critics contested lobbyists should have no place in any level of government.
Council Member Spelman also asked for two additional weeks to find a replacement for his appointment to the task force, Michele Rogerson Lynch, who would have been the only woman in the group. Lynch currently serves as the Director of Land Use and Entitlements for local law firm Metcalfe Wolff Stuart
'Trail to Nowhere' funding postponed
City Council also postponed any action to finish the so-called "Trail to Nowhere" in North Austin.
The North Walnut Creek Trail has been slowly built for more than a decade. Many of the delays have been due to several attempts to redesign the trail.
Finishing the $3.2 mile project is expected to cost nearly $6 million.
Council will revisit the issue on Feb. 14.

Sample Training Out-takes
Live Blood Under the Microscope
RBC ROULEAU - Stacked RBC's. Worse stage of protein linkage. SUGGESTED CAUSE: Same as previous page, protein linkage. Often poor protein digestion. The pancreas may be off. Excess dietary protein, poor assimilation. Eating too much animal protein. Blood too toxic (altered blood pH) from stress, coffee, cigarettes, meat, etc. Dehydration, not drinking enough water (which by the way, is one of the top undiagnosed causes of many ailments).POSSIBLE SIGNS: Fatigue, shortness of breath - RBC's cannot carry oxygen; stress on heart. Cold hands/feet - poor circulation.MED PERSPECTIVE: Peripheral blood erythrocytes often display the phenomenon of rouleau formation and exhibits a specific role in the pathogenesis of some disease. Plasma fibrinogen and Immunoglobulins are some of the potent rouleau-inducing agents. Some industrial poisons such as benzene, parathion & carbon tetrachloride not only increase this phenomenon but also cause thrombotic and hemorrhagic manifestations as well. Patients suffering from allergies, infections and severe trauma may exhibit rouleau.The presence of massive rouleau can be detrimental to patients suffering from occlusive vascular diseases as it causes impairment of blood flow in the small vessels that can compromise the red blood cells ability to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen gases. This results in localized hypoxia and acidosis as well as generalized fatigue and less than optimum performance. Severe or massive rouleau is not infrequently found in patients with hyperglobulinemia and may be seen in many disease states ranging from arthritis, multiple myeloma, diabetes, myocardial infarction and in patients with increased alcohol intake. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is usually increased because of the increased ratio of mass to surface area resulting in rapid rouleau fallout from the plasma.ADD'L TESTS: Cholesterol, Triglycerides, WBC, ESR, SGPT, SGOT, Globulin, A/G Ratio.As rouleau may be caused by acute phase protein elevations in the blood, the possibility of serious disease complications exist when is does not respond to nutritional therapy. If rouleau does not disappear after a maximum of seven days and there is no evident tissue inflammation, tissue damage or tissue necrosis, additional testing can be conducted to rule out arthritis, arteritis disease, choecystitis, cirrhosis, diabetes, endocarditis, rheumatic diseases, rheumatic heart, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, chronic infection, nephritis, systemic lupus, ulcer, colitis, neoplastic disease.Also keep in mind that the wrong diet for one's blood type (A, O, B, AB) can agglutinate the blood. Certain food lectins are incompatible with certain blood types. (see "How You Rot & Rust"). The topics of lectin chemistry, protits, prions, - all should some day get coordinated research.

Top Local Tips for Bremen
Shanti , An der Weide, 0421 364 96 80 We noticed this restaurant, the Shanti , on the An der Weide, as we were walking to our hotel and having eaten there on our first night we returned because of the quality of the food. Mr Kamram Ahmed and his brother run the Restaurant. The brothers are from Lahore in Pakistan and if their mother taught them to cook then she did a good job! We have eaten in very good Indian restaurants in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bradford and elsewhere in the UK. Most curry eaters have their favourite restaurant and even favourite region. I have heard people boast of the curries made in their home area. I understand that. As a Glaswegian, I am a great fan of our "Mother India". I have eaten there since it opened in the early 90s. I like "The Far Pavilions" in Edinburgh too. Both produce wonderful food. The Shanti has fantastic food in Bremen. The Chicken Pakora is outstanding. It comes without a dip as the spices are in the coating on the chicken. Our main courses were excellent too. Over two nights we had Chilli Chicken, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Bhoona and Beef Jalfrezie. The prices of Main dishes include rice and naan bread so we were well fed at a reasonable price. As we write, a Chicken Bhoona with accompaniments is 11 Euro. Portion size was big and there was too much to finish. We were given free ice cream and a free syrupy drink at the end of our meals. Both were very nice and most welcome! The restaurant does special lunchtimes offerings such as "all you can eat" and buffets. We did not try these but we gathered from talking to staff that these are popular with the British residents of Bremen. It does not surprise us. When you are in Bremen, give the Shanti a try. You will not regret it. .

Sprint-Clearwire Deal Reflects Cloud Mobility
By Lawrence M. Walsh, CEO and President, The 2112 Group
Over the next two years, Sprint Nextel will pay Clearwire more than $1 billion for access to its 4G network. The deal is as much about enabling the mobile cloud as it is about intercarrier competition with AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Deals such as this may also accelerate cloud convergence.
For many observers, the Sprint-Clearwire deal may seem like a catch-up maneuver following AT&T's pending $38 billion purchase of T-Mobile. In reality, though, this deal is more about speed than accounts acquisition, and clearly aimed at the mobile cloud.
Carriers make their money on telephony lines and account activations. It's a good business, until you get to market saturation. That's when they start doing share shift, which is what the AT&T/T-Mobile deal is all about. The two companies coming together will create the country's largest wireless provider, besting Verizon Wireless.
But being bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, especially when the game is shifting from user activation to share shift. In that contest, it's about account retention, and carriers do that with better service and features. And increasingly, that's more about mobile data than voice. It's the reason Verizon is looking to expand its 4G coverage by 140 new markets in 2011.
How much faster is 4G? Don't ask Ozzy Osbourne or Justin Bieber. As they say in car sales, mileage may vary. Tests have clocked 4G speeds at different rates, much of it depending on the processing power of the mobile device and signal strength. The latter is part of the drawback. Many 4G users have discovered their devices crawl in most areas, since they can only access 3G service. The race is getting to the faster network.
Speed is important if we really want a mobile cloud – or just plain mobility. Software and service providers want to push more applications to the edge of the cloud, and that's increasingly mobile devices like the Apple iPad, Motorola Xoom, and Samsung Tab. But it's also about business-class devices, such as the Motorola MC-9500, Panasonic U1 and the Intermec CV60. All of these devices are increasingly being used for enterprise purposes, and having reliable and fast connectivity from any location is evolving form a "nice to have" to a "need to have" business requirement.
With more speed comes greater convergence between the IT and telephony channel. Solution providers and agents on both sides of the channel divide will be called upon to build and support mobile solutions that meet the specific needs of their clients. It's already happening today, but the limited performance of mobile devices and speed limits on wireless networks is inhibiting progress. The greater availability of Clearwire 4G over a broader Sprint network expedite development.
4G wireless remains relatively new, but rapidly evolving. The Sprint-Clearwire deal underscores the importance of speed and network capacity in the evolving mobile cloud era. With faster networks may come greater convergence between the two channels to support mobile business needs.

Like Stephan Kinsella and other people associated with the Mises Institute, I favor decentralization as much as possible. Yet, I am not sure about these state sovereignty resolutions. A typical one reads:
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives and the Senate of the ___________ legislature: that the State of ________ hereby claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States.
We already have the Tenth Amendment, which seems very clear:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Since the federal government just ignores the Tenth Amendment, which is part of the federal Constitution, what makes anyone think that the federal government will pay any attention to a state resolution?7:44 pm on April 23, 2009 Email Laurence M. Vance

Sometimes more countries that weren't traditionally considered part of Europe want to be included (Turkey wants to be an EU member, even though most of it is in Asia), sometimes others split into two (Serbia and Montenegro).
I'm sure I've got more European countries to visit than I did 20 years ago, even though I've visited Belgium, Germany, Croatia, Spain and Greece since then. Yugoslavia was one country then, as was Czechoslovakia, even though Germany was two.

Rodrigo Castro Cornejo
Kellogg PhD Fellow
I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame and a Garza PhD fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies. My area of specialization is Comparative Politics and Latin American Politics. My research is focused on political behavior. My research interests include survey research, public opinion and voting behavior; specifically, how ideology affects voting behavior and the effects of campaigns, the media, and clientelism on voters' preferences. I am also interested in conservative political parties and religion and politics; specifically, under what conditions religious and moral values structure party competition.
To conduct my research, I have received funding from the Notre Dame's Environmental Change Initiative, the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the Kellogg Institute's Varieties of Democracy project, the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, the Downes J. Memorial Fund and the Notebaert Professional Development Fund of the Graduate School at the University of Notre Dame, and more recently, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Prior to coming to Notre Dame, I earned my BA in Political Science at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City in 2007. After that, I worked as a research assistant at the Inter-American Development Bank (2006-2007) and as associate director of electoral studies at BGC Ulises Beltrán y Asocs, leading survey research firm in Mexico (2007-2010).

|Papers of James Bonar, 1886-1924.
|University of Pittsburgh, Libraries
|James Bonar was a late nineteenth and early twentieth century Pittsburgh businessman born in Dunfermline, Scotland, the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie. Bonar migrated to the United States where he was employed for a time by the Carnegie Steel Co. and later formed his own steam appliance company. Bonar was also an artist and served for a number of years as president of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. This collection contains correspondence, scrapbooks, and photographs. Included in the correspondence are several letters to and from Andrew Carnegie and one from H.C. Frick
Bio/History: James Bonar was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie, and was educated in London, England. Bonar came to the United States in 1884 and was employed in the machine shop of the Carnegie Steel Company for twelve years. When the Pittsburgh Gage and Supply Company was organized in 1893, Bonar, along with William Rogers, was a principal organizer and was selected to act as secretary of the company. Several years later, Bonar organized the firm of James Bonar and Company for the handling of all kinds of steam appliances and conducted this business for fifteen years.
After the outbreak of World War I, he was made superintendent of expediting with the U.S. Steel Corporation. In 1919, Bonar was selected as Superintendent of Buildings by the Pittsburgh Board of Public Education. James Bonar was also an artist and served for many years as President of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. His paintings were exhibited at the Corcoran Art Gallery, St. Louis Museum of Art, the Memorial Hall in Philadelphia, and in Pittsburgh. Among his paintings were those entitled Eliza Furnaces, Clinton Furnace, Hubbard Furnace, October in the Alleghenies, Ligonier Fall Scene, and Across Sixth Street Bridge. In the forward to the program note for the 1920 Bonar Exhibition of Painting at the J.J. Gillespie and Company Gallery in Pittsburgh, John L. Porter wrote, "but some there were of such undaunted courage and perseverance, that by steady, unrelenting effort, they were able to turn the thoughts of some of these people into seeing a weird beauty in the great steel plants with their ever-changing halos of steam and smoke, in bridges, river activities, cliffs, inclines and hillside frescoes."

|The Fototeca Berenson (Villa I Tatti Photo Archives)
|Biblioteca Berenson, Villa I Tatti
|The collection contains about 300,000 photographs, many of them collected by Berenson himself from the 1880s until the time of his death in 1959. Many have notes on the back in his handwriting. Many show works of art before restoration, and others show images since destroyed.
An important section, "Homeless paintings", contains photographs of works whose current location is unknown. The photographs are almost exclusively black and white in a variety of photographic media, such as albumen, gelatine, or carbon.
About 3000 large-format photographs are stored separately. In addition, there is a considerable amount of documentary material in the form of clippings, notes and printed reproductions.
The photographs are arranged according to Berenson's original scheme, by school: Florence, Siena, Central Italy, Northern Italy, Lombardy, Venice, Southern Italy. Within each school they are arranged by artist, then by topography, followed by homeless. Paintings and drawings are arranged separately.
The main focus of the collection is on Italian painting and drawing from the mid-thirteenth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. This part of the collection continues to be developed through the acquisition of new materials and through photographic campaigns. Later periods are also represented but in smaller scale, without systematic updating.
There is also material on medieval painting, arranged topographically; manuscript illumination, arranged according to present location; archeology; Byzantine art and architecture, arranged both by artist and by location; and non-Italian art, arranged by country. Finally a section of 8000 photographs is devoted to the art of the Far East, India and Islam.
In addition to the original Berenson nucleus, collections of prints, glass plates, negatives and transparencies have entered the Fototeca.
These include the collections of Emilio Marcucci (nineteenth-century projects for the completion of various Florentine monuments), George Kaftal (representations of saints in Italian painting of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries), Henry Clifford (painting thirtheenth to seventeenth centuries), Giorgio Castelfranco (Italian art thirteenth to twentieth centuries), Giannino Marchig (restoration), Frederick Hartt (Michelangelo, Giulio Romano), Giuseppe Marchini (Italian art and stained glass), and Craig H. Smyth (Renaissance painting and drawing).
There is a small collection of micropublications and microfiche (162,386 frames): L=index photographique de l'art en France (95,648); Sotheby's Pictorial Archive - Old Master Paintings (45,472); Christie's Pictorial Archive Italian School (9,898); Christie's Pictorial Archive - New York 1977-95 Old Master Paintings & Drawings (11,368).

An exclusive NY1 poll shows that New York City residents are split over legalizing same-sex marriage in New York State, with 46 percent in favor and 42 percent opposed. Eleven percent of New Yorkers say they aren't sure whether they favor or oppose same-sex marriage and one percent refused to state their position.
Same Sex Marriage
Do you favor or oppose legalizing same-sex marriage in New York State?
• New Yorkers are divided on the issue of same sex marriage, with 46% saying they favor the legislation and 42% opposed.
• Opinion on this issue is related to age, race, gender and education, with 56 percent of those under 30 in favor versus only 32 percent of those over 65, 51 percent of whites in favor versus 34 percent of blacks and 46 percent of Latinos, 51 percent of women in favor versus only 39 percent of men, and 52 percent of those with a post graduate education in favor versus 38 percent of those with no college.
• Religion is an important factor, but it also reflects the race differences on this question. Jews favor same-sex marriage 48 percent to 39 percent, while among Catholics, who are mostly white or Latino in the city, there is a split 45 percent to 45 percent, and among Protestants, who in New York City are largely black, the view is more negative (37 percent favor and 49 percent oppose).
• Manhattanites are by far the most in favor at 60 percent in favor/30percent oppose, while Queens is most opposed at 37 percent in favor/50 percent oppose.
The NY1 News poll was conducted by Baruch College Survey Research between May 12, 2009 and May 16, 2009 and included 754 NYC residents with a margin of error at +/- 3.6 percent.

Summit on Human Trafficking
(Posted September 21, 2014)
Who Are Our Heroes?
Two sports stars have been in the public eye in recent weeks in a manner that has sparked debate. Adrian Peterson, star running back for the Minnesota Vikings, has been indicted on charges of negligent injury to his four-year-old son; and Ray Rice, running back with the Baltimore Ravens, has been captured on video inflicting acts of domestic violence on his [now-wife]. If these situations result in our continuing the conversation about what it means to be a good parent, and more people stepping up to the plate to "Commit to Prevent," then we are headed in the right direction...
How many of our kids look up to their parents and call them heroes? That is the million dollar question. If every parent can be a hero in the eyes of their child, think of what we can accomplish! When you "Commit to Prevent," you are saying you will do everything within your power, within your means, within your cultural mores, to help a child reach his [or her] potential and grow into a healthy, well-adjusted adult. "Commit to Prevent" is easy, it's do-able, and it is sustainable.

Study of Adverse Childhood Experiences
"Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have profound effects on the lifelong health of adults," the North Dakota Department of Health reports. A recent National Survey of Children's Health provides data on nine ACEs among U.S. children. The survey shows that nearly half of North Dakota children age 0 through 17 have experienced one or more ACEs -- which translates into an estimated 65,000 children in North Dakota. In addition, 1 of every 5 North Dakota children has experienced two or more ACEs. More information is available through the Data Resource Center for Child & Adolescent Health.

PCAND Receives Early Childhood Grant
We are pleased to announce that PCAND has received federal funding for North Dakota's Early Childhood Comprehensive System (ECCS) program. With this funding, PCAND and partners will develop and activate a system to provide developmental screenings for young children across the state. Administered through the federal Health Resources and Services Administration, the funds cover programming from August 2013 through July 2016.
As you may know, the ECCS program was previously administered through the ND Department of Health/Division of Family Health. This year, federal guidelines required that ECCS programming be aligned with home visitation initiatives, as funded by the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program. Because PCAND is the MIECHV program designee in North Dakota, the ND Department of Health recommended that the ECCS program be transferred to PCAND, so that federal funding could be maintained in North Dakota.
To maintain continuity and expertise, Cheryle Masset-Martz has shifted from the ND Department of Health to PCAND, so that she can continue to serve as ECCS program director.
PCAND looks forward to collaborating with our partners, particularly the Healthy North Dakota Early Childhood Alliance. Thank you in advance for your support!

"It Takes Great Courage"
"It takes great courage to speak out publicly about an issue that has been shrouded in silence and that has caused so much personal pain," says Kathy M. Smith, Program Services Support Coordinator at the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center in Fargo.
Kathy was recently interviewed for a powerful story about a survivor's journey in "Troy White: Written Purpose," featured in the magazine, On the Minds of Moms.
Here are a few words from the article, penned by Patricia Carlson:
"Writing offered [Troy] a newfound clarity about his past. He was taught to be silent about the abuse. Talking about such things would be shameful. But he was starting to see that being silent was wrong. He had pages of memories and insights. He wanted to reach out and help others who were struggling with an abusive history or mental illness. Troy believed he had found his calling."
Troy White says:
"Everybody's got a story...I don't think mine is the worst. It's not the best. It's just unique that I'm willing to share it. I'm not always sure that that's the right thing to do, but that's what I feel I have to do."
We urge you to read more! Many thanks to Troy White -- and all the authors of "Authentic Voices."

We could not be more proud of TEAM PCAND.

Many more people than previous races thanked us for running for PCAND, which just provides more 'fuel to the fire' of a runner! It is so rewarding to feel like we're making a difference."
Leslie (middle) says: "Knowing my teammates as I do, they will never tell you that they both had amazing races on Saturday. Lori is definitely on a mission; every TEAM PCAND race she has run, she PRs (runs faster than the last), and she placed 2nd in her age group on Saturday! Woohoo!

"Running for child abuse prevention is an opportunity to take something I love, running, and use it to increase awareness: Child abuse is a heart-breaking problem, but it's preventable."
Janelle Olson
"Running to make the world a better place for children is indescribable. Also, the PCAND logo is on the back of our shirts, and as I pass other runners, there is always an exchange of encouraging words."
Julie Bosch
"I believe that children are a gift from God, and that any abuse of that is a fault of our society, which includes me as part of society. To dedicate running to this worthy cause feels so right and so good!"
Lori Klabunde
"When the miles become difficult, and I need to dig deep to find the strength to finish, I find myself thinking of all the challenges abused children face. That provides the strength I need to finish."
Leslie Brunette
"I am running with a purpose. I am a survivor and thriver. For years I 'ran' from my abuse. Now I am running for abuse prevention! I have times during my miles when I think about children that are enduring abuse now. I remember times when I was enduring, and those memories serve as fuel for my run. I know I can and have to endure the discomfort I am experiencing at the moment, because every mile we cover is one more mile we run down for child abuse prevention. We run as TEAM PCAND to change the lives of children and families, one mile at time!"

The better we understand child maltreatment, the better we are able to prevent it. Did you know that 1,134 North Dakota children were found to be victims of child abuse or neglect in 2010? Did you know, as well, that over half of those cases involved neglect? And that the maltreatment was most prevalent toward children 3 and younger? And, in addition, that family stress appears to be an important factor?
You can learn key statistics regarding child abuse and neglect in North Dakota on our Resources page.

At Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota, we have begun a new project called "The Period of Purple Crying," which focuses on the elimination of Abusive Head Trauma, also known as Shaken Baby Syndrome. Our goal is to provide every new parent in North Dakota with engaging educational materials on how to avoid this problem.
An evidence-based project, "The Period of Purple Crying" helps increase parental knowledge of child development and is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The parent booklet and 10-minute DVD also provide information about managing stress and supporting others who care for the infant.
Our intention is to provide parent packets to every birthing center across the state at no charge. We are grateful for crucial funding from the North Dakota Department of Human Services and the North Dakota Ronald McDonald House Charities. We are also thankful for key supporters of this project: the North Dakota Hospital Association, North Dakota Nurses Association, and the American Association of Pediatrics North Dakota Chapter.
