Biodiesel Vehicle Emissions
When used as a vehicle fuel, biodiesel offers some tailpipe and considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits over conventional gasoline and diesel. The GHG emissions benefits of biodiesel are especially significant, because carbon dioxide (CO2) released during fuel combustion is offset by the CO2 captured by the plants from which biodiesel is produced.
A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) analysis compiled in 2002 provides data on biodiesel tailpipe emissions from heavy-duty engines. The findings were published in A Comprehensive Analysis of Biodiesel Impacts on Exhaust Emissions, a report that analyzes data from 39 studies. It concluded that biodiesel decreases the tailpipe emissions of particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC) commensurately with its blend level, as shown in the graph.
The study found a slight increase in oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions—approximately 2% for B20. However, Effects of Biodiesel Blends on Vehicle Emissions, published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in 2006, presented data and analysis suggesting that B20 has no statistically significant net impact on NOx emissions. An SAE report published in 2009—Biodistillate Transportation Fuels 2-Emissions Impacts—corroborated NREL's results and found the NOx increase at B100 to be in the 2% to 3% range.
All 2010 and newer engines and vehicles will have to meet the same emissions standards, regardless of fuel type. So a light-duty diesel vehicle will need to meet the same stringent emissions standards as a gasoline or ethanol-powered vehicle. The same is true for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The emissions differences only apply for engines older than 2010. These results may not accurately reflect the improved emissions performance of today's high-tech diesel vehicles, however. Integration of sophisticated engine controls—as well as fueling and exhaust aftertreatment devices—are the determining factors governing how clean a vehicle or engine will be.
Life Cycle Emissions
Life cycle analysis is a technique used to assess the environmental impacts of all stages of a product's life, including raw material extraction, processing, manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal or recycling. When comparing fuels, a life cycle analysis may focus on particular portions of a fuel's life cycle, such as from extraction-to-use or well-to-wheels, to determine the merits or problems associated with each fuel.
Life cycle analysis completed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and later by Argonne National Laboratory, found that greenhouse gas emissions for 100% biodiesel (B100) could be more than 52% lower than those from petroleum diesel. These analyses also showed that biodiesel may reduce petroleum use by more than 88% throughout its life cycle.

Thursday, February 17, 2011 - True To SizeI had bought a pair of the Contrast Brief about six months ago from a retail store in a city that I visit once a year. I loved them so much and that I'm glad that I tracked down this website to order more. I have a 34 waist and I find the medium fit nicely. They are snug but not at all uncomfortable. The cut of the brief shapes my basket nicely (hence the name of the brand, I assume). These are some sexy underwear.

For many students, summertime means graduation time. Getting into college is already a task on its own. But what about getting a job? We hear from three Latino graduates from Missouri and North Carolina about what it meant to finish college and about their transition from the school gates to the brave new world.

When Sergio entered the University of North Carolina in 2006, there were only one or two other students there besides him who were undocumented, and he was careful to keep quiet about his status. Many of his friends and relatives had told him not to bother trying to go to college and to just get a job at Burger King or MacDonald's, but Sergio didn't listen to them. With the help of a full scholarship, he graduated in 2011 with a degree in English. He's been working in the restaurant business since then. But when his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals permit comes through, he hopes to work in education or a related profession.
Georgina Leal graduated from DePaul University with a B.A. in Anthropology and Latin American/Latino studies. She is currently completing a year of service with the Vincentian Mission Corps in St. Louis, and hopes to pursue a PhD in socio-cultural Anthropology.
Jayson came to the U.S. from Guatemala with his family eight years ago. With scholarship money, he became the first in his family to go to college, graduating from the University of Richmond in 2012 with a degree in business administration. Because he's undocumented, Jayson couldn't get a job in his field and spent the last year painting houses. But once he gained a legal presence in the US through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Jayson got several job offers and accepted one in hospital administration. He and his partner are expecting their first child this summer.
Evangelicals are emerging as a growing force among Latinos in the U.S. One person, in particular, is often cited as a leader of the movement – the Reverend Samuel Rodriguez. In late January, Rodriguez became the first Latino ever to give the keynote address at the Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration in Atlanta. Latino USA's Andres Caballero has a profile of the charismatic minister from Sacramento.

Closer Look When we first took on the Dynatron coolers honestly one of the most excited I was to work with was this one and that's because I feel a bit more at home working on a tower cooler like this as the small flat coolers you get with servers just do not seem right after working as an enthusiast for so long. The small coolers have their place and they are usually in noisy large thin blade servers but big towers like this are more akin to what you see in a desktop rig and well this one happens to be spec'd as a 3U Server or desktop workstation so its a bit more up my alley when in terms of testing and familiarity. Dynatron is one of those companies that has been around for coming up on 20 years now as it started in 1991 and has ... Read More »
Dynatron K2 1156 Low Profile CPU Air Cooler for Mini ITX Platforms
Closer Look Previously we had taken a look at a unit from Dynatron for the LGA 2011 server side application utilizing the Slim ILM design and active cooling for a really thin 1U blade server application. Well today we have a similar unit in appearance but its application is quite different as this is more targeted at mini ITX systems which is basically a polar opposite from a large heavy load server. but upon checking out where this product was placed it is still found in their server category although the selected application is targeted at Mini ITX based systems so I can only assume it is made for the more compact home file servers or even media servers. Being that Dynatron has never really been in the consumer market very heavily and only recently really started offering anything resembling possible competition for the desktop market honestly so to ...

Dynatron R25 1U & Up Server CPU Cooler for LGA2011
Closer Look When looking at cooling solutions all too often we forget that besides the big names there are many solutions out there that never see the pages of many popular enthusiasts media or even get any coverage really at all. Especially when considering that besides the enthusiasts and gamer communities which we cater to there are many more uses for systems which go unnoticed every day yet life as we know it would halt shoudl these systems stop functioning so viable cooling solutions for them are primary concerns for everyday life. Many server side solutions are made for small blade servers such as we have today and to some surprise to some of you many of the popular cooling manufacturers such as Thermaltake and many others who have been making enthusiasts coolers for some time also service these important workstation and server solutions for even longer.

BigDlittledtwo dances
new years eve last year, one short dance between the living room and the dining room. held her and danced slow to a james taylor song. and like some other things,,,,it felt particularly nice and like something. and not being a dancer and it being not many months in i let it just stay there.
she is more of a dancer than i am and has been hinting at getting this dance thing on once in a while
so it takes till september and the high school reunion and we are a year plus knowing each other and yes, i came to dance, high school awkwardness and all. I am not saying i was awkward in high school, just not one of those hands in the air woo hoo partiers. Dancing with her was dreamy. i do like to dance, i like moving. and we were really nice together, i loved being with her in that place, being a part of her and knowing of my strength accompanied with my willingness to share and love what is going on;;, fitting, matching, accepting, watching, smiling. knowing that….here again is some information that says, "hey..you two….this is really it, you two fit really nicely." she said later…..you dance like you make love 5 years ago

House Republicans: Rice unfit to head State Department
WASHINGTON (AP) — A group of 97 House Republicans sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Monday, saying that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice misled the nation about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya, making her unfit to be a candidate to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The letter, organized by South Carolina freshman Jeff Duncan, said Rice's "misleading statements" about the attack that led to the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans "caused irreparable damage to her credibility both at home and around the world."

5 Mind-Blowing Movie Twist Endings
Subscribe to our newsletter
When it comes to thrillers and mystery movies, there's nothing like a good twist ending. A bad twist ending, of course, can leave you heading out of the theater shaking your head and cursing the heavens about what a steaming pile of crap you just sat through. A good ending does make up for a bad beginning and middle, many people say, while a bad ending can also ruin an otherwise good film. But when a good film has an incredibly mind-blowing ending, it elevates the film from merely good to great.If you find yourself coming out of a movie theatre, mind reeling, you've either just tried to understand the appeal of the Twilight franchise… or experienced one hell of a twist ending.
The Sixth Sense
When you think of twist endings over the last couple decades, chances are pretty high that The Sixth Sense is the first film that comes to mind. In fact, you probably think of M. Night Shyamalan in general, but then thinking of him leads you to shaking your head in disappointment, like a parent finding out his child took a crap on the teacher's desk again. Thanks to the incredible success of The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan apparently got it in his ego-inflated head that he really, really needed to work a twist ending into every one of his movies. He was sorely mistaken.
Still, the twist in The Sixth Sense was one of the best in movie history, and there's little denying that. Going back and re-watching the film upon second viewing, you can start to pick up on the little clues here and there, but on that initial viewing you can't deny that you were absolutely floored to discover that Bruce Willis was dead the whole time. Hell, it's such a classic twist that "he was dead the whole time" has actually become something of a running gag among movie nerds and, well, nerds in general. The Sixth Sense was a pop culture phenomenon, and that is thanks almost entirely due to the incredible twist at the end of the film.
The Usual Suspects
The Usual Suspects got some mixed reviews when it came out, but it quickly became a cult classic and legitimate phenomenon, and garnered Kevin Spacey an Academy Award. Roger Ebert famously panned the film, calling the twist ending a cheat, but we like to think it was just outstanding writing and flawless execution by writer Christopher McQuarrie and Bryan Singer, respectively. Chances are pretty high you've seen the film so you know what happens, but if not, we'll break it down for you.
The film deals with the aftermath of a bloodbath at an apparent drug theft gone horribly, horribly wrong, with the lone survivor being interrogated by a federal agent. Throughout the film, this one lowly criminal weaves an intricate tale about what happened leading up to and then including the ill-fated robbery, and finally drops the now famous name of Keyser Soze. Soze, he says, is a criminal mastermind who orchestrated absolutely everything that took place within the film. Well, while much of the tale this criminal told was in fact totally made up, the fact remains that everything was orchestrated by Keyser Soze. It's just the fact that this low life, played perfectly by Kevin Spacey, is not the meek gimp he appears to be, and in the jaw dropping final sequence as the federal agent begins to piece together what really happened, we as an audience discover right along with him that Verbal Kint was in fact Keyser Soze all along. Just about 100 kinds of badass in this ending, and there's no denying it.
Now here's a film that you probably haven't seen, but you should if you like awesome martial arts action, dudes out for vengeance and absolutely jaw dropping twist endings that will not only leave you floored, but probably feeling a little dirty at the same time. In a nutshell, Oldboy is about a jerk who is kidnapped and put through psychological torture for years before finally escaping, and he makes it his mission to annihilate anyone he thinks might have been associated with his abduction as he also tries to discover whatever happened to his young daughter.
Meanwhile, he comes into contact with a beautiful young woman who begins to help him on his quest for vengeance, and as they grow closer, they fall in love and, as lovers are prone to do, they totally boned. Of course, if you're at all perceptive, you'll have pieced together from the ideas of "psychological torture" and "daughter" and "beautiful young woman" what the big twist at the end is. See, these events take place years after the abduction, and this young woman just happens to be our hero's daughter's age. And that's because she totally is his daughter. The kidnapper not only put the hero through torture in isolation, but arranged everything else that took place. At the end of the film, after realizing he slept with his own daughter, our hero cuts out his tongue rather than ever being able to break it to his daughter what has happened, unable to destroy her emotionally. So basically, this is not a family film.
Planet of the Apes
Forget the crappy Tim Burton remake, and even all of the ridiculous sequels that followed the original Charlton Heston classic. Planet of the Apes is a sci-fi classic, and along with the entry that will follow this one, gave us one of our first, most impactful twist endings in movie history. The movie tells the story of a space shuttle crew whose mission goes horribly wrong, and they wake up long after their cryogenic sleep was supposed to last, far from home. They crash land on a mysterious planet to find that it is ruled by simians, while humans are entirely feral and unintelligent, and are treated as slaves and cattle by the apes.
So you can imagine the surprise of the apes when Heston arrives and can actually, you know, think and reason. This is seen as most disturbing and unnatural by the apes, who set out to kill Heston. He ultimately snags himself a hot girl and escapes, and after some debate about who is right and who is wrong about the position of man in this strange new world, Heston and his foxy companion head out on their own, looking for a place to settle down and live out their lives. It's around this time, of course, that the pair ride down the beach to discover what has become one of the most famous images in movie history: the top of the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand, showing that Heston was on Earth all along, years after an apparent nuclear war destroyed humanity. Stupid nuclear war, always trying to ruin everything for everyone.
It's fair to say that this is just about the original twist ending. Sure, there have been plenty before, including by the man who directed this film, Alfred Hitchcock, himself. But it's hard to argue that any movie from Hitchcock or prior to this film shocked audiences as much as Psycho did. You all know the big twist at this point, of course, unless you've been living under a rock and are unaware what a movie actually is. If that's the case, we find it hard to believe you know what a computer is, so how the hell are you reading this?
Anyway, the Bates Motel is home to murder most foul, and is run by the meek Norman Bates and his mysterious mother, who live in an old house on the hill overlooking the motel. Throughout the film we are made to believe that it's actually Mrs. Bates who is the murderer, but of course we all know that it turns out the true killer was Norman himself, having developed multiple personalities, one of which is his now deceased mother, whose remains he keeps in their dilapidated old house. Kind of gives "mommy issues" a whole new meaning.

While hundreds lined up for hours to see Benny Hinn in Sweden this weekend, (even as North America was reading about Benny Hinn and Paula White behavior in Italy about 2 weeks ago) his appearance at the European Conference Word of Faith conference was not without controversy. His theology, practises and pending divorce have been discussed a fair bit online in Sweden in media, on blogs and twitter feeds leading up to the European Conference in Uppusla.
Ekman stood up after Hinn spoke and suggested people weigh what was said and read their bible about what was preached. However Hinn was permitted to speak again. I've tried to tidy up the Google translation, if I've lost meaning in the cleaning, please pipe up in the comment section. Ekman posted about Benny Hinns visit:
But it is my duty to comment Saturday evening's remarkable proclamation. I must say I was shocked by the content of Benny Hinns teaching. We have known each other since 1986, although it was a while ago we last met. There is no doubt that the Lord has used him as an evangelist all over the world for many years. Many over the years have told how their lives have been transformed by the Lord through Benny's service and how they have been healed. I have participated over the years in a number of conferences around the world and have seen what the Lord has done. As a private person and I appreciate him a lot and really like him as a healing evangelist.
Having said this, and it is important that it must be said, I must say that I have never in all the meetings I had with him, heard what he taught us yesterday. His preaching, in which he certainly is not alone, seems to be more consistent and prepared than I have ever heard before, but went far beyond what I mean is classic Christian faith and sound doctrine. It was not just some Gnostic elements, it was unfortunately too much of pure Gnosticism.
I write this as I first raised this with him privately last night because there are very serious issues.
He goes on to address Hinns teaching on on the Holy Spirits role in the Trinity and the separation of body, soul and spirit.
When it finally came to Jesus in the sermon, it was in some ways, a heretical view of Jesus that was presented.
And another point of error about Christ.
Strangely, it was also when he speculated that "if Jesus had sinned so his body would not rot anyway." This is important to refute, for in that case the body of Jesus was not a real body which makes the incarnation incomplete and illusory.
And this,
Then he argued that Jesus' blood did not come from Mary, but directly from God. It's not. The Mary and Maria were shaped by the whole humanity of Jesus and that includes all elements of his physical body, even his blood.
Ekman, who had been criticized in religious circles and Swedish media for having Hinn open his conference said it would have been much better if Hinn had stuck to simply talking about Jesus in the way that he can and often did, and as an evangelist should.
It seems that it all comes to a settlement with the various Gnostic elements in the Christian faith right now, but I honestly thought that this was not what we would hear from Benny Hinn this evening. It was an unpleasant surprise that there would be so strong and so much.
…When I talked with Benny about this he listened seriously and openly and I hope he accepted what I said.
Hinn spoke Saturday evening and twice on Sunday.
Dagen has extensive coverage of Hinn in Sweden.
Ulf Ekman was ordained in the Swedish Lutheran church in 1979, and was a university chaplain for 7 years before attending Kenneth Hagin's Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He returned to Sweden and founded the 3 thousand member Word of Life Church.

Air Products & Chemicals Inc., after a Delaware judge upheld Airgas Inc.'s main anti-takeover defense, dropped its $5.9 billion hostile bid for the packaged- gas supplier.
"It is abundantly clear that the Airgas Board is thoroughly entrenched in its position, so we have decided to withdraw our offer and move on," John E. McGlade, Air Products' chairman, said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.
Air Products had pursued Radnor, Pennsylvania-based Airgas for more than a year. Delaware Chancery Court Judge William B. Chandler III yesterday rejected Air Products' claim that Airgas's poison-pill defense was flawed because it gave directors too much power to deflect offers for the company.
"The board's actions do not forever preclude Air Products, or any bidder, from acquiring Airgas or from getting around Airgas's defensive measures if the price is right," Chandler said in a 153-page ruling.
Air Products, based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, raised its bid on Dec. 9 to $70 a share from $65.50. Airgas officials repeatedly rejected Air Products' advances, claiming the company is worth at least $78 a share. Airgas's board turned down the latest offer, which Air Products executives called their "best and final" bid, on Dec. 22.
'Great Disservice'
"The Airgas board of directors has done a great disservice to Airgas shareholders by never allowing them to decide for themselves whether they want to accept our $70 per share all- cash offer," McGlade said. "Air Products has many other compelling growth opportunities around the world that we are continuing to pursue."
Air Products is the second-biggest U.S. industrial-gases producer behind Praxair Inc. The company's offer for Airgas, made public on Feb. 4, 2010, ranks as the eighth-longest-running hostile takeover offer in the U.S. since Bloomberg started tracking the deals more than a decade ago. Oracle Corp.'s 2003 bid for PeopleSoft Inc., which dragged on for more than 1 1/2 years, holds the record.
Airgas fell $2.98, or 4.7 percent, to $60.75 at 6:40 p.m. after the close of New York Stock Exchange trading yesterday. The shares earlier dropped as much as 5.3 percent to $60.34 in after-hours trading.
The shares may decline to less than $60 as investors who bet on an Air Products takeover sell their stakes, said Thomas L. Hayes, a Minneapolis-based analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos. Airgas may start a buyback to buoy the stock, said Hayes, who rates Airgas "overweight" and doesn't rate Air Products.
Staggered Terms
Chandler's ruling reinforces the vitality of the poison- pill defense, said Charles Elson, a finance professor at the University of Delaware who runs the school's Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. Such defenses, designed to make takeovers prohibitively expensive, have been upheld by the Delaware Supreme Court in recent years as a legitimate tool for directors seeking to negotiate the best price for investors, Elson said.
"I think you'll see more of a push to end staggered terms for directors rather than attacks on poison pills as a result of this decision," Elson said in a phone interview.
Air Products argued in court filings that Airgas's use of staggered director terms, which limit the number of board members up for election at any one time, in combination with the pill amounted to overkill. Airgas officials refused to deactivate the poison pill, saying in court filings that the company wasn't being properly valued by Air Products.
'Legitimate Purpose'
Chandler said the poison pill "served its legitimate purpose" in helping Airgas directors negotiate a higher price. He refused to second-guess the board's judgment in maintaining the defense and rejecting a bid it saw as too low.
"As the Supreme Court has held, a board that in good faith believes the hostile tender offer is inadequate may properly employ a poison pill as a proportionate defensive response to protect its shareholders from a low-ball bid," Chandler wrote.
Airgas officials were pleased with Chandler's ruling, Chief Executive Officer Peter McCausland said in an e-mailed statement.
"Airgas remains steadfast in its belief that Air Products' offer is clearly inadequate," McCausland said. "It has always been our objective to create value for our stockholders, and we remain committed to achieving that goal."
Airgas shares won't be punished as much as they would have been a few months ago because the economy has improved the company's prospects, Laurence Alexander, a New York-based analyst at Jefferies & Co., said in a telephone interview.
Air Products' shares may gain from the end of its pursuit of Airgas, said Alexander, who rates Air Products "buy" and Airgas "hold." Air Products rose 78 cents to $91 at 6:54 p.m. in after-hours trading yesterday.
"This lets people focus on the underlying fundamentals of the company," Alexander said. "The big question now is, what does Air Products do with their balance sheet?"
The case is Air Products and Chemicals Inc. v. Airgas Inc., CA5249, Delaware Chancery Court (Wilmington).

Reaction to Nazi cache discovered in Germany overdoneNov 19th, 2013 | By Ivan Lindsay | Category: Journal
The discovery of 1500 artworks in an apartment in Munich, missing since the Nazi era, has caused a furore in a an overheated art market dizzy from a series of record prices. The artworks, breathlessly described as 'masterpieces' in most reports, are clearly a selection of mainly second-rate pieces that their original owner, the art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt, could not sell after WWII. Although a value of a billion dollars has been widely reported the true value is probably a fraction of that.
Gurlitt was hired by the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, to sell art deemed by the Nazis to be 'degenerate.' Gurlitt implemented state policy selling 'degenerate art' removed from German museums and bought some pieces for himself. After the war the Americans continued to let him work as a dealer until his death in 1956 when the collection was inherited by his wife, Helene, and later by his son and the current owner, Cornelius Gurlitt. It appears Cornelius Gurlitt kept quiet about his inheritance either to avoid inheritance tax, or because of the paintings tainted past, and he lived quietly with his collection in Munich. Gurlitt reputedly sold one of the stars of his collection, The Lion Tamer, by Max Beckman for around US$1,000,000 in 2011.
The story has all the elements of a stolen art thriller….the reclusive Gurlitt holed up in his flat with his stache of Nazi tainted art. Gurlitt has lamented that he feels sad that all people can see is 'banknotes' in his cherished works of art. Apparently on most evenings he liked to remove a favorite stack of drawings from an album and go through them one by one.
The existence of the cache only came to light because of a tax evasion investigation triggered by Gurlitt being caught coming across the German border with a large amount of cash. The Bavarian government have been very slow to come forward with any information perhaps wary of the minefield of legal issues ahead. Were these artworks part of the group removed from German museums, confiscated from jewish owners or bought legally on the open market…or perhaps a mixture of all three? Each piece will have to be examined individually and sorted out by art restitution lawyers. Only 200 of the 1500 artworks are believed to be on the Art Loss Register's database of missing artworks.
Olga Yazhgunovich published an overview in the Voice of Russia on the 5th November as below:-
The 20th century wasn't short of "notorious" artistic events, one of them is the Entartete Kunst – Degenerate Art – exhibition featuring works by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Paul Klee and Max Beckmann and staged by the Nazis in Munich in 1937. The show had the only purpose – to mock the non-Aryan avant garde culture the Nazis were trying to stamp out, The Guardian wrote.
The Degenerate Art exhibition, which triggered the massive exodus of artists (many of them had Jewish blood), is back in the limelight as yesterday some 1,500 "degenerate" art works looted by the Nazis over 70 years ago were discovered in a messy Munich apartment. The place belongs to Cornelius Gurlitt, son of the prominent Munich art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt.
Gurlitt was hired by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels to sell the "degenerate art." While implementing state policy, Gurlitt bought some pieces for himself. After the war, Gurlitt – who claimed to have Jewish descent – was allowed by Americans to continue working as a dealer until his death in 1956.
"Cornelius Gurlitt inherited the works after the death of his mother Helene. Basically this is a case of undeclared inheritance," Karl-Sax Feddersen, a lawyer with Lempertz auctioneers in Cologne told Reuters.
"Recently, we had the disclosure of 139 possibly looted works of art volunteered by the Dutch government. Now we have a major discovery in the flat of an obscure Bavarian art dealer," Christopher Marinello, an art recovery lawyer, told the Guardian, hinting at the painful issue of returning the looted art.
While this discovery has been described as "the greatest art find of the post-war era" its full significance cannot be gauged as a list of the works has yet to be published but it includes some really great masters, like Picasso, Klee and Chagall. This treasure trove was discovered by chance as part of a tax-evasion probe as earlier Gurlitt was able to sell a major work, Max Beckmann's The Lion Tamer, through a reputable dealer for €840,000. "From our point of view this is a totally normal case. An old gentleman contacted our Munich office and offered them a Beckmann pastel…we had a restitution problem which we actively addressed and we found a solution ahead of the auction," Feddersen said, commenting on the case when the auction house discovered that artwork had been bought from a Jewish owner.
The art discovery came to light through an accidental leak to the German news magazine Focus. The examination of the works had been put in the hands of an organization called the Research Centre for Degenerate Art.
It is apparently likely that most of the works in the Munich hoard were not part of the Degenerate Art collection – confiscated works that were sold off to buy Aryan masterpieces (Vermeer, Rembrandt and the like) for Hitler's Führer Museum – but are works seized from French Jews during the Occupation.
"You have to wonder what is behind the extreme reluctance to provide information," Anne Webber, of the London-based Commission for Looted Art in Europe told the Guardian. "We have reminded the Bavarian authorities of the need for transparency and requested a full list of the works. So far we have had no response."
"Germany along with 44 other countries signed the Washington Principles in 1998 and 1999, making a commitment to identifying the looted works in their collections and publishing the results. Bavarian state collections contain thousands of works acquired during the Nazi period, but they have failed to publish any list. An annotated catalogue of one of the main dealers of the Nazi era was discovered, saying which families the works were taken from and their eventual owners. This would be fantastically useful to the families concerned who are hoping to create a link with their past. This also hasn't been published," Webbed said.
Recently, the head of the German Museums Association went on record as saying that the reluctance to publish lists of works is tied to the likelihood of large numbers of claims.
Webber has quoted culture minister Bernd Neumann, who declared that until the thousands of looted art works in German museums are returned to their owners, there can be no line drawn under this issue.
"That surely is the point," says Webber. "You publish the lists so that the rightful owners of the works have the opportunity to come forward. These are works of art that were stolen in the most appalling circumstances and museums were often complicit in the theft."
Only 200 of the Munich works are believed to be on the Art Loss Register's list of missing masterpieces. That doesn't mean that the other 1,300 works aren't masterpieces, simply that nobody has laid claim to them, because the rightful owners don't know they exist.
"If people see photographs of listed works, it may prompt memories of things that belonged to their relatives," Webber says.
"The time this should have happened is yesterday," says Marinello, who is currently acting on behalf of French broadcaster Anne Sinclair, the former wife of ex-IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn, in a claim for a major Matisse painting from a Norwegian museum. "People are dying, memories are fading, records are being lost, and the German authorities are holding on to this information. When people make claims for works of art, museums ask for a receipt of payment. When you're running for your life, the last thing you're thinking about is the receipts for paintings you've bought."
Some claim that museum directors are reluctant to give art back as this ruins their collection. "They're curators," says Webber, "and it's the job of a curator to keep a collection together."
"That is irrelevant," Marinello objects. "The original owners of these works have the right to do whatever they want with them. Their families were murdered, their culture was destroyed; the restitution of these works of art is a small recompense. And it's not about monetary value. There's an attitude even in certain sections of the British press that this is about rich Jews getting even more money. The German authorities are hanging on to the details of these works until they establish their financial value. But it doesn't matter if it's a Picasso worth £20 million or a work by an unknown artist worth £20, the principle is the same."
Right after the discovery, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany demanded that Germany returned looted paintings to their rightful owners. "We demand the paintings be returned to their original owners. It cannot be, as in this case, that what amounts morally to the concealment of stolen goods continues," said Ruediger Mahlo of the Claims Conference.
The German government confirmed on Monday that it is investigating the Munich discovery.
"The federal government was informed several months ago about the case," spokesman Steffen Seibert said, adding that authorities were supplying "advice from experts in the field of so-called 'degenerate art' and the area of Nazi-looted art."
Officials in Bavaria declined to comment, instead calling a press conference on Tuesday.
"We don't know how many of the 1,500 works are 'degenerate' works or looted by the Nazis," said art expert Christoph Zuschlag from the University of Koblenz. "So we need to examine each piece individually."
He also said the authenticity of the collection needs to be checked. "We need to see whether these were originals or prints," as two-thirds out of 21,000 pieces of 'degenerate art' taken from German museums around 1937 were prints.
According to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, at least 16,000 artworks were seized by the Nazis, as Jewish collectors were forced to sell artwork at extremely low prices to Nazi-linked dealers in order to purchase exit visas to flee Germany for safer countries.
Thus, according to the Art Loss Register, among the missing masterpieces are Jan Van Eyck's The Just Judges from the Ghent Altarpiece that disappeared in 1934. It was part of the Ghent Altarpiece at the Belgian city's Saint Bavo Cathedral and was carefully removed from its panels during the night in April 1934 and replaced with a note: "Taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versaille". Another missing oeuvre is Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man at the end of World War II. Although the painting was rescued from the Czartoryski Museum,Kraków, in 1939, it was taken by the Gestapo to decorate Hitler's Berlin residence. In 1945, senior Nazi official Hans Frank took the paintings from the Führer's collection to the royal Wawel Castle. However, it has never been found there.

So what's the rub? West's high opinion of Squaw Mountain isn't universally shared. Clear Channel's Lambiotte agrees that the roads to the site are good, but it's a 45-minute-plus commute from downtown Denver even when it's not rush hour, which makes it considerably less handy than Lookout Mountain when it comes to repair. "That's a long time when your station is quiet," he says.
And Lambiotte is even more bothered by a phenomenon known as shadowing. In laymen's terms: FM signals basically operate by line of sight, and because of the way the Front Range falls, signals from Squaw Mountain are more or less blocked from large portions of Jefferson County, including growing foothills communities like Ken Caryl. KYGO, which is almost always among the top-rated stations in Denver, gets around this flaw through the use of boosters that repeat the signal in various areas. But putting in such gadgets requires not only additional land acquisition but also zoning clearance -- the very thing that's proven to be such a nightmare for the broadcasters on Lookout Mountain.
West says these reservations are overstated: "Because of the mountainous terrain, there is no perfect broadcast site in Colorado. But our glass is half-full, not half-empty. We can solve all of these concerns."
Lambiotte isn't buying it. "We think our signal would stink," he says.
That leaves Eldorado, which is midway between Boulder and Golden, due west of Rocky Flats. It was recently purchased by Pinnacle Broadcasting, a Florida company that controls about 4,000 broadcasting sites nationwide, and Frank Lee, Pinnacle's vice president of sales, knows so little about it that he doesn't even have a sales pitch yet: "The situation is still under scrutiny by us," he says.
But a source knowledgeable about the area notes that it's the only spot that offers line-of-sight coverage to Denver, Golden and Boulder, and has been the home of adult-rock station KBCO since 1985.
Yet even though KBCO is owned by Clear Channel, Lambiotte sees no shortage of drawbacks to the site. Among his apprehensions: It's tough to get to because of dangerous roads that can only be traversed in all-terrain vehicles; it's ripe for development; there are power problems; and signals from there have shortcomings in key areas, including the Denver Tech Center.
And that's not to mention its proximity to the Table Mountain "quiet zone," an area maintained by the Department of Commerce for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). According to Terri Maraia, a NOAA telecommunications specialist, this 1,800-acre patch north of Boulder is the home of research activities involving antenna calibrations, millimeter wave measurements and radio-frequency propagation research that need to be done with a minimum of interference from other signals. To that end, the FCC passed a regulation in 1973 requiring broadcasters to reduce their signal levels over Table Mountain, with the exception of a handful of stations exempted by a grandfather clause.
Two of those -- Clear Channel's Fox and KBPI -- would probably lose their omnidirectional status if they moved to Eldorado, and four TV stations -- channels 4, 6, 7 and 9 -- would need to overcome engineering challenges in order to keep the quiet zone quiet. To Lambiotte, "That's a lot to deal with."
Lambiotte admits that the problems at Eldorado, Squaw Mountain and Mount Morrison aren't necessarily insurmountable. "But," he goes on, "now you know why we'd like to work things out on Lookout."
For most of the parties at odds over the digital tower, the current byword is "compromise."
The FCC certainly would like everyone to make nice, if only because overruling a local land-use decision, as the Lake Cedar Group has asked the commission to do, would almost certainly lead to litigation that might not end until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to be heard. It's no surprise, then, that Bruce Romano, deputy chief of the FCC's policy and rules division, declares, "The FCC would like to see the local parties work out their differences...As chairman Kennard has said, we're committed to working constructively with our colleagues in state and local government to find a resolution to local matters such as this that will serve the public interest to the fullest extent possible."
That's good news to Jefferson County attorney Frank Hutfless. He sees any attempt by the FCC to cut the legs out from underneath Jeffco's commissioners as a move with huge constitutional implications, and even though he doesn't doubt that the county would eventually prevail ("I am firmly convinced that local authorities govern land use, and case law supports me"), he suspects that it would take years to sort out.
The suit filed against the county by the Lake Cedar Group also complicates matters, but Hutfless says, "I am attempting to encourage the group of broadcasters and the county and the community to come to the table and see if there isn't some room for negotiating a compromise that might not give everyone everything they want, but would be directed toward finding an answer that they can all live with."
Channel 6 general manager Morgese likes the sound of that. "I have hopes that we can negotiate a solution, which we've always been willing to do. Unfortunately, recent events have prevented an open discussion from taking place between all of us, but it's not our intent to inflame the situation."

Help son find the humour in your naked dance routine
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: This is so embarrassing! I came home from work, thinking I'd be alone in the house and stripped off my clothes. I'm a former nudist and love to go butt naked when no one is there. I didn't know my teenage son and his girlfriend were secretly "sleeping" in the basement. I decided it might be fun to do some dancing in the nude, so I cranked up the music and was flying around the living room dancing to a rock song when my son and his girlfriend came up from the basement to see what the heck was going on. Miss, L., I am not a skinny little girl. I'm a full-fledged woman front and back. They caught me naked, in all my glory. My son yelled to his girlfriend "Get Back!" but it was too late. They literally ran out the back door carrying their running shoes into the snow. My son can't even speak to me about this now and I don't know how to bring it up. He just looks at me and shakes his head like I am disgusting and certifiably nuts. Why could this not be a funny thing? He has no sense of humour about it, and his girlfriend has not come back since. How can we get past this? Help! -- Nude Dancing Mother, St. James
Dear Nude Dancing: Talk to him about it, but plan it out. First, it'd be a mistake to act ashamed and apologetic over the nudity and the happy dance. You could start by saying. "Someday, maybe even at my funeral, you are going to tell this story about your crazy joyful mother, who thought she was alone dancing naked in the living room -- and how you and your teenage girlfriend ran out the back door in horror." Add something like, "Right now you are upset, but try to get over that, dear. I diapered and bathed you for several years and it hasn't harmed my psyche a bit. If you feel you need counselling for this, we can spring for it. Otherwise, you need to lighten up about nudism, which used to be part of your dad's and my lifestyle before you were born."
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband just went on a business trip to Toronto with a little side trip south to Mexico. Yep, he's picking up his online sweetie in the Toronto airport and the two of them are flying down to Mexico together for a week of hot sex together before Christmas. Isn't that sweet? Isn't it just so romantic? Meanwhile the kids and I will be busy, too. They are 21 and 22 with strong backs and are in on what's happening, and finally told me. They are extremely angry. They knew about the affair a long time before I did, and it killed them to hold the secret from me. So, it's out and we are moving him out. He will be living in his office on the sofa. The door to this house will have changed locks. The house is in my name. He will try to beg his way back but it ain't happenin'. I can take him for so much more, he dare not squeak about this. I just want the men out there to know that at some point, enough is enough. -- He's Getting What he Deserves
Dear Getting: This should be a reality series worth watching. But, your husband is going to come down hard on the boys for ratting him out. Wouldn't it be better to phone the hotel and say hello to the two of them, and spoil the holiday for them? Then work out the household arrangement when he gets home. You will have advantage of seeing your domestic lawyer first -- not the regular one he shares with you on other matters. You will get a much better settlement if you don't humiliate your husband at his business, and the better deal you get, the better you will feel.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I love a real Christmas tree and my husband is "practical" and wants a fake one he can pop up and down from the basement already decorated for the Christmas season. That's how he always did it when he was single and he even has a name for his pathetic Christmas tree -- Charlie, after Charlie Brown. He loves that old thing. We are married now and he was about to put Charlie in the place where I want to put up my real, fragrant fir tree on Christmas Eve. We got into a fight and I told him he could shove his Charlie where the sun don't shine. I know this sounds like a silly newlywed fight to you and other people, but we are both upset and it seems this has grown into a giant problem. Please help! -- Newlyweds Gone Sour, Osborne Village
Dear Sour: There are four corners to a room. Charlie can hold down one corner of the living room, going up a week or two early, and then be joined by the big fir tree on Christmas Eve to fill another corner. Just because most people only have one Christmas tree doesn't mean that you two can't enjoy both. Sentimentality is a part of Christmas and people are very emotional about their rituals. Adopt the attitude of both rather than either/or on as many newlywed fights as you can this next year or two until you settle in. Show respect for your partner's old life and old possessions that are part of his identity, and whatever you do, don't throw Charlie out!

Hewlett-Packard shares fell by more than 4 percent in pre-market trading on Tuesday after the PC maker cut its full-year outlook and warned of a soft upcoming quarter.
The California-based company expects its full year sales to be between $129 billion to $130 billion with adjusted earnings of $5 per share, down from its February estimates of $5.20 to $5.28 per share and $130 billion to $131.5 billion in sales.
For the current quarter ending in July, H-P projects earnings of $1.08 per share on revenue of $31.1 billion to $31.3 billion. Those numbers will easily miss Wall Street estimates of $1.23 per share and $31.78 billion in sales.
The projections come one day after H-P chief executive Leo Apotheker reportedly sent a memo to his staff warning them of "another tough quarter." The leaked note, dated May 4, also explained that upper management needs to "watch every penny and minimize all hiring."
Hewlett-Packard moved up its earnings report from Wednesday afternoon to Tuesday morning following the news of the memo, which spooked investors.
The weak outlook for the full fiscal year was due, in part, to soft PC sales and the aftereffects of the Japanese earthquake and the following tsunami, according to the Associated Press.
"They probably have to do some cost cutting," Kulbinder Garcha, an analyst at Credit Suisse AG in New York, told Bloomberg News. "They'll have to drive for further efficiency. Can they do that easily? No, it'll probably take some time."
Ironically, the soft full-year outlook comes on the same day that H-P posted better-than-expected second quarter earnings of $1.24 a share on $31.6 billion in revenue. Bloomberg analysts anticipated earnings of $1.21 a share and sales of $31.5 billion for the quarter ending in April. The company posted a net profit of $2.3 billion, up from $2.2 billion a year ago.

NCUA REQUEST FOR COMMENT: NCUA Requests Comment on Federal Credit Union Ownership of Fixed Assets
The NCUA is revising the Fixed Assets rule as a part of the annual review of one-third of its existing regulations. The proposed amendments address frequently asked questions on the rule in regards to occupying unimproved property and the waiver process. The NCUA has stated the goal of the Fixed Asset Amendment is to improve the current rule. The agency clearly states in the proposal that the proposed amendments do not create any new requirements for FCUs and do not make any substantive changes to regulatory requirements. Rather, the amendments only seek to make the regulation better by clarifying its language, and improving its organization, structure and ease of use. Comments on the NCUA's proposal on fixed assets are due on or before May 20.

In mid-90′s Belgium, six young girls were raped and tortured by a wealthy antisocial man named Marc Dutroux. He kept them in the basement of one of his seven homes; his wife, Michelle Martin was aware of her husband's activities. Two of the victims, 17-year-old An Marchal and 19-year-old Eefje Lambrecks, were drugged and buried alive. Two more, Julie Lejeune and Mélissa Russo, both 8, were starved to death. Dutroux, before going to jail for car theft, gave Martin instructions to feed them, which she disregarded. Another two, Sabine Dardenne, then 12, and Laetitia Delhez, then 14, survived. Both girls testified against Dutroux at his 2004 trial, helping to put him away for life. Another accomplice, Michel Lelièvre, was sentenced to 25 years, and the wife, Martin, to 30.
Now, a Belgian court has ruled that Martin, 52, could be let out of prison to live in a convent in the village of Malonne. Among the thousands of Belgians protesting this decision is Delhez, now 30, as well as Jean-Denis Lejeune and Jean Lambrecks, the fathers of two of the victims. "Don't forget she had multiple opportunities to free them. She didn't do it. Her role has been minimalized," Lejeune told reporters. "Michelle Martin is as guilty as Dutroux, and I think she should serve her entire sentence," said Lambrecks. According to Belgian law, a prisoner can be paroled after serving a third of his or her sentence; Martin has served 16 of her 30 years. Yesterday, over 2,000 people marched in protest of the court's decision, many fearing for the safety of their young children. Once at the convent, Martin will be free to come and go as she pleases.
Martin's attorney, Thierry Moreau, has said that his client is a "changed woman" who has become very religious and will use life at the convent as a chance to serve others. The court has said that the decision to parole Martin cannot be appealed, but that it can be challenged in civil court.

School dilemma
The Educational Achievement Authority of Michigan, the new statewide district created to "turn around" the 5 percent lowest-performing schools in the state, is beginning to hold meetings to promote itself. Will you or would you send your child to an EAA school?
It doesn't really matter what it's called — DPS, charter, EAA, whatever. I want children to have the best educational experience possible. I'm a product of DPS and received a very good education. My children attended DPS and received good educations. However, I'm not against trying something new if it is in the best interest of the children.
Denise Willingham
I'm not sending my child to an EAA school. I don't know what they're doing because they haven't told us what they are doing. Nobody in the community knows these people. I happened to see them at the Mack Alive Parade and they do not look like the majority of Detroiters. What's happening with that? No, I'm not sending my child to school there.

Perfect Server Setup without control panel
I would like to see a howto feature a perfect server setup of fedora and debian, but without management tools like ISPConfig, Webmin, CPanel, etc. A guide that covers hints and tips how to set up virtual hosts, DNS records, email, log file rotation and all the stuff by hand that are usually set up by control panel software.
I'm sure many people would be interested to see how one would efficiently set up a server without aid of control panel software. Especially those who want minimal setups by installing and setting up only what they really need.

San Bernardino becomes the latest CA city to seek bankruptcy
Steven Cuevas / KPCC
San Bernardino city council caps a 3-hour budget hearing by grimly approving authorization for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.
Last night, the San Bernardino City Council voted to seek bankruptcy protection. City officials said without bankruptcy, San Bernardino — saddled with a budget deficit of at least $40 million — could miss next month's payroll, according to KPCC. Mayor Pat Morris and other officials blame the budget crisis on soaring salary and benefit obligations, plunging property tax returns and the loss of an estimated $30 million in state redevelopment funds.

TUXTLA GUTIÉRREZ, Mexico – Mexican officials are preparing a program to sort the migratory flow along its southern border, which will involve working with the Guatemalan and Belizean governments, Interior Minister Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong said.
"We do not know how many migrants from Central, South America and other continents enter our country," he said. "We don't know their destinations and don't know what happens to them, so we cannot ensure their human rights.
The government will focus on the border between Belize and the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, where crimes against migrants have become well-documented.
Osorio Chong said the initiative, which will use the Navy to patrol the southern border, is "part of national security." He also stressed it is imperative Mexico and neighboring nations work together.
The National Human Rights Commission has documented nearly 20,000 migrant kidnappings in a year and a number of attacks ranging from robbery and extortion to rape and murder at the hands of criminal gangs.
About 140,000 Central Americans enter Mexico illegally each year en route to the United States, according to the Mexican government. The migrants often are easy prey for organized crime networks, as many end up kidnapped and become victims of sexual or labor exploitation.
In 2012, 77,539 Central Americans were deported from Mexico, according to Mexico's National Migration Institute. There are no official statistics on the number of Central Americans who settle in Mexico since their migration is illegal.

Negotiating Salary?
|Thu, 12-19-2013 - 3:36pm
Are you comfortable negotiating fora higher salary or are you worried it could backfire on you?
|Tue, 12-24-2013 - 3:41am
To my own detriment, I have never done this. When I see a job that pays $45-60K I just assume you start at $45 and work your way up to $60K. But I have been burned MANY times by finding out newer workers are making the same or more than me! They "negotiated" it...and they don't necessarily have more experience than I do. So the next time I plan to negotiate. Even if they say no, it is worth a try. I think for some HR managers, you are seen as weaker if you don't at least ask.

There's no great mystery in understanding why couples become less sexually active as their relationship matures: As passionate love mellows into a relationship characterized by intimacy and companionship, long-term couples will almost certainly have sex less frequently. The demands of daily life and the reality of taking care of a household mean that many couples devote less time exclusively to their physical relationship.
But it's an issue worth addressing: We may prefer not to think about our parents or grandparents having sex, but plenty of older couples maintain physical intimacy in their later years. There are real benefits in continuing sexual activity throughout life, as shown by researchers studying sexual life expectancy. If for no other reason than to support your long-term mental and physical well-being, figuring out the formula for staying sexually active with your long-term partner is a good idea.

Wakefield Wildcats have signed a player and commercial partnership with Doncaster ahead of the 2013 season.
The Super League club allowed four members of their squad - Kieran Hyde, Russ Spiers, Danny Cowling and Lucas Walshaw - to join the Dons last season, with the quartet performing to great effect.
The partnership will see four more Wakefield players dual-registered, with their coaching staff also getting involved with Doncaster, and the two teams will meet in a pre-season friendly on 27 January at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Wakefield chief executive James Elston said: "Doncaster is a club which, much like ourselves, has made some big strides over the last couple of years and we are both ambitious to kick on further.
"It was a great experience for our younger players to be part of the success Doncaster enjoyed last year and we know from their experiences that it's a fantastic club for our youngsters to develop.
"Off the field they have also made some big improvements and we look forward to working closely with them to help that continue.
"With so many similarities between the two clubs we think the partnership has the potential to be a great success."
