Saltz on Critic Thomas McEvilley, 1939–2013

The father of art world multiculturalism has died.
Also: Takashi Murakami, Ryan McGinley, Laurie Anderson ...
Its current shows are great. But the institution must keep one priority in mind as they plan their second location.
Some folks are up in arms over a proposed show of YouTube videos at the museum.
"A freak of the grandest order."
On Tuesday, another first-class work will likely disappear into the hands of a private collector who may never lend it again.
The museum closes for good tonight, and there will always be the terrible feeling that it didn't have to be this way.
This exhibition will be his first and last under Deitch's mantle.
What the Jeff Koons of art dealers gave the city.
Who's up, and who's down.
You heard it here first.
Deitch would be the first gallery owner to run an American museum.
Hoving was a madman, and of a specific type: the utterly fearless, patrician vulgarian.
This will prove once and for all that women artists are no better and no worse than their male counterparts.
I sorely want to defend the New Museum. Unfortunately, the institution may have outsmarted itself.

Figures out today show that Ireland ranks in the top ten EU countries for investment in Research and Development.
This is in spite of the relatively small size of Ireland's economy and the current economic difficulties.
Fourteen of the top-spending companies for R and D are based in Ireland, while R and D spending in Ireland increased by 13pc in 2011.
In the face of the continuing economic and financial crisis, major EU-based firms continue to rely on R&D for their competitive edge.
They increased R and D investment by 8.9pc in 2011, up from 6.1pc in 2010.
The increase nearly matches US firms (9pc), beats the global average (7.6pc) and is far ahead of Japanese companies (1.7pc).
R and D-intensive sectors tended to show above average employment growth.
These are key findings of the European Commission's 2012 "EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard" of the top 1500 global R and D investors.
The global top 50 includes 15 EU companies, 18 US firms and 12 from Japan. Japanese car manufacturer Toyota tops the ranking, with Volkswagen the top EU company in third place (E7.2 billion invested). Recently released Eurostat data shows that combined EU public and private research spending increased to 2.03pc of GDP in 2011, from 2.01pc in 2010. This was mainly due to increased private sector spending.
"Knowledge is the lifeblood of European competitiveness, so the increase in R and D investment by EU companies is a call to arms in our battle for growth and jobs. We now need to match private sector ambition with increased investment in R and D at national and European levels. EU leaders should send a strong signal by approving an ambitious budget for Horizon 2020, our future programme for research and innovation," said Maire Geoghegan-Quinn, Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science.
Total investment by companies in the scoreboard shows that the US is still ahead of the EU, explained by the higher number of high-tech firms in the US (E178.4 billion versus E144.6 billion). Companies showing the largest R and D expenditure increases among the top 100 are in the ICT sector, such as Huawei (48.4pc), Apple (36.3pc) and STMicroeleectronics (34.5pc). Other companies in the top 100 with large jumps in their levels of R and D investment are from the automobile and parts sectors, some based in the EU such as BMW (21.6pc) and Renault (19.4pc).

Why visit Singapore? Singapore is often associated with terms such as "financial hub", "gateway to Asia", and "garden city". Besides its strategic location, excellent infrastructure and multiracial culture also contribute to the appeal of Singapore as a tourism destination.
Have you tried the famous food in Singapore such as Chicken Rice and Chilli Crab? Or the best buffet restaurant in Singapore such as Carousel? No wonder Singapore is often called a food paradise! Royal Plaza on Scotts is one of the best places for you to begin your real dining experience.
How about the world class attractions in Singapore? Many of Singapore attractions are the first, the best or the largest in the world. Make a visit to the Marine Life Park (world's largest oceanarium), Night Safari (world's first wildlife night park), Singapore Flyer (world's largest observation wheel) or the Singapore Zoo (World's best rainforest zoo)!
Singapore is also a venue for world class events around the world. For sports fans, Singapore hosts the Formula 1 Night Race in September annually since 2008. Singapore is also scheduled to host the WTA championships from 2014. The largest aerospace event in Asia, Singapore Airshow, is also held in Singapore biannually.
Shopaholics must make a visit to Orchard Road, the premium shopping strip in Singapore. Find luxury designer outlets such as Gucci, Miu Miu, Prada, Tods, Burberry, Bvlgari, Jimmy Choo and Ermenegildo Zegna in Paragon. Each mega mall in Orchard will bring you a unique experience other than shopping! Besides top luxury brands housed in ION Orchard, visit the ION sky at level 56 and the 5,600 square feet gallery art space under the ION Art programme.
It is very easy to get around Singapore with its well-connected public transport system. Options include public buses, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) or taxi. MRT is Singapore's version of subway, tube and metro, which is very affordable and convenient, with the nearest MRT station, Orchard MRT, only 3 minutes from Royal Plaza on Scotts' location. The MRT operates daily from early morning till midnight, with each train intervals between 3-6 minutes. So, start exploring this little red dot now!

i love Halston Sheer. My mom introduced it to me one year for my birthday and ive been wearing it every since. Its the type of perfume that when you put it on and walk past someone they ask what are you wearing, that smells so good. Plus it has a glitter shimmer to it that glows on your skin. I highly recommend it to try, you won't regreat it.

Greg Phillips Named Director of Main Street Arkansas
by Lance Turner
Posted 12/12/2012 01:18 pm
Updated 2 years ago
The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program said Wednesday that Greg Phillips, a 15-year veteran of the Main Street Arkansas downtown development program, has been named the new director of Main Street Arkansas.
Main Street Arkansas, a program area of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, provides technical assistance and design services to help create economic development in the state's downtown areas.
Phillips has been assistant director of the Main Street Arkansas program since 1997. Before joining Main Street Arkansas, he worked with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, the Peoria, Illinois, Symphony Orchestra, and the Peoria Ballet Company.
Phillips succeeds Cary Tyson, who was promoted to deputy director of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.

I recently reported on the celebrities who attended the 2012 Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KY. However, as we all know the Derby isn't as much about the celebs and the race as it is about the hats! Wide, large, in charge, bold, colorful, exotic, scary, dangerous, chic and more are just some of the adjectives I'd use to describe these things, eh, I mean hats! So take a look and if you plan on attending next year bookmark this page for some
scary serious inspiration!
And …
P.S. I am TOTALLY in love with these hats! It's theatre baby!

Wave of the Present: Newsweek Edition
The fate of Newsweek is but a blip on this gigantic cultural radar screen. There will be many — I am one of them — who regard its transition to digital-only format as simply a confirmation of its irrelevance. It will continue to exist, but in a shadowy, insubstantial manner, much as Achilles appeared to Odysseus in the underworld.
In A. N. Wilson's book The Victorians, there is a marvelous photograph of an early railroad engine pulling what appear to be three or four re-wheeled stagecoaches on which were perched top-hatted men and abundantly upholstered women. The assertion of the old in the midst of the new was patent and, to later eyes, comical. How thrillingly novel, however, it seemed to those who lived through the upheaval.
I reckon we're at pretty much the same stage in this new internet and digital-powered development in communications as were those early railway passengers with respect to rail travel. There they were, giddy to be zipping along at 10 or even 20 miles an hour on this amazing new invention, a sort of mechanical horse with no legs. Naturally their carriages would look like, would in fact be, the stagecoaches of yore, for how else could one travel? (In his Notebooks, the English writer Geoffrey Madan recalled a questionnaire from railway line in the 1920s: "Did you have the compartment to yourself?")
For many publications, the transition to digital-only format may be a prelude to a more final transition: oblivion. I suspect that may be the case with Newsweek, an organ whose news-dispensing function has long been superseded by other media, and whose opinion-dispensing function has seemed more and more silly as it hardened into a sclerotic recapitulation of "progressive" clichés. About a dollar's worth of people read Newsweek when it was fully alive. Now that it is passing on to a more virtual state, another dollar's worth will scan its pages, at least for a while. Nevertheless, the effervescent phenomenon in which Newsweek finds itself tossed about presages immense changes that go far beyond the quaint intellectual boundaries of something people once-upon-a-time found useful: the newsweekly. What an antique concept. Yet it is worth pausing to consider whether its superannuation is all progress or whether there is an attendant loss that will have to be made up elsewhere — assuming, that is, that we muster the effort to make good the loss.

Today while riding the commuter train home, I saw deer grazing in a meadow surrounded by forest. The train was speeding the trees and grass, creating an anesthetic green blur when my eyes caught brown movement and my primeval brain took over, immediately focusing my eyes on the deer. My reaction was autonomic and startlingly so; I could see the deer with a clarity my eyes usually don't provide.
The point? There's a lot of stuff built into our minds that can be programmed once it's better understood. Just like spotting prey pulled me out of relaxing reverie, so could a properly primed mind focus me on stuff I've told it I want to consider. Most of the information battering our consciousnesses is burdensome, even offensive in its sheer volume. One way of protecting one's peace of mind is to never pick up a print newspaper. It's not so much a cultural thing as a self-protection and time-management thing. Sorry print, but you're not a deer.October 18, 2012 - 8:53 am Link to this Comment | Reply

How much information is lost to archaic technology? Want to read that document you saved on your floppy disk in college? No, not the 3.5 inch format, you still might be able to find a floppy drive that can read single and double sided floppies at Best Buy. If the disk is still readable. I'm talking 5.25″ disks.
At least with print there's something on the page to read. It might last 100 years, too. Gosh, even longer. Zardoz long.
I'm reminded of a 70′s Steve Martin bit where an entire library has been cleared out and all the books have been transferred to microfiche, the technology of the future, which Martin holds up to look at and lights a Bic behind it to illuminate it, then, poof.

Don't worry. They are. And so are mine.
One thing that remains constant re the Human Condition (incredible technological advances notwithstanding) is that very, very few of us are remembered for more than a couple generations after our passings. The world moves on, and misses us not in the slightest. But rest assured, the story of our successors will be no more compelling than our own. And their souls will follow directly behind us, in the absolute miracle that is life.October 18, 2012 - 5:25 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Well actually, I don't subscribe to the dead tree National Review or Weekly Standard either. I sometimes buy and read the paper WSJ.
In theory I would love a well-edited weekly or even monthly hard-copy political/news journal – as long as they had fast turn-around times. In theory. In practice, I dunno. It requires finding time to sit down and read. Most of us have lost the habit, if we ever had it, except for either academic or entertainment purposes.
It's hard to understand just how and why Newsweak became such a knee-jerk publication, but needing faster turnaround might be part of the reason, easier to recite dogma you don't have to research or check or even think through. But we've become such a knee-jerk society, what could they do, I suppose, but follow and take the consequences.October 18, 2012 - 5:10 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

There are several irreversible movements going on within journalism. On this unimportant topic, Newsweek is going out of business simply because it is not very good. Many decades ago, those who owned massive printing monopolies, or oligopolies, could sink to any level and still make a profit. Colliers, the Saturday Evening Post, and Life died but Time and Newsweek, and a few others controlled a market. The three networks similarly held a straggle hold on TV. The internet, and competitors like Fox News broke the monopoly. In a similar evolution, in an earlier era, the Model T and paved roads broke the monopoly of the company store. Families piled into the car on Saturday night and drove to the next town to the A&P, the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. A quality product at a low price, is the result of real competition. Newsweek failed that survival test.
For a decade, I assessed advanced technology using the web. One day, I read two related State of the Art papers on the same topic. One came from the Cavendish Lab, U of Cambridge UK, the other from the U of Singapore. I emailed a follow on question to both authors, who responded in the same working day. Within an hour, I completed my report and filed it via email, certain that on this narrow topic, I knew more than any human being on this earth, for about one hour. A century ago, it may have been a chapter in a text book, filed under the taxonomy of the Library of Congress. Today, there are entire disciplines of which the Lib of Congress knows nothing, and people now consider the date and time stamp as the publication time defining original authorship.
I am reading the City of God, by St. Augustine in my Kindle. It is 22 books long, easily fits in memory and his thoughts are as fresh as any newspaper in America.
Synthesizing the above, I hold that America produces ignorant college graduates, particularly lousy journalists, whose production is not worth reading, that the rate of knowledge gain is increasing exponentially, and those who value concepts live in a new age. I no longer read the NYT for all of the above reasons. Newsweek is just another dinosaur to roll over.
If the above was not true, Obama would have never been elected, but he was. His Presidency is the result of nonthinking voters. This is death to any democracy. It was aided to some degree by Newsweek. This is the cost of that publication.October 18, 2012 - 6:00 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

When I was in college many decades ago, Newsweek used to distinguish itself by saying that it separated fact from opinion. Alas, as Leftists (who call themselves, liberal) came to dominate the magazine, opinion and fact were no longer separated, and opinion was presented as fact. I suppose that eventually a good chunk of the reading public realized that the magazine's facts were unmoored from reality, and so began to abandon it. Newsweek's experience will probably be repeated with other print media, as well as with tv media (think ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC). Eventually, I would not be surprised to see other major names end up in the same boat. At some point, what's left of the Leftist media may come to its senses and present the news straight, but I have my doubts. BTW Along those lines, see Jeff Lord's analysis in the American Spectator at, http://spectator.org/archives/2012/10/18/the-candy-crowley-tipping-poin .October 18, 2012 - 6:41 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I see the same thing coming.
Of course all the senior fat cats in the liberal news biz are all getting on in years — I mean, just look at these clowns; they've all made their personal haul; they're all millionaires living high off the hog.
Bob Schieffer (who is now roughly the same age that the late Walter Cronkite would be today) will be "moderating" the third and final presidential debate, and he will follow suit with Jim Lehrer, and Martha what's-her-name, and Candy (sic) Crowley (reminds me of that Gary Larson cartoon with the fat lady and the candy store) in furthering the liberal agenda to defend and advantage Barack at all costs. And really, what does ol' Bob have to lose by throwing all professional journalistic decency to the wind? After Candy gave the boy emperor 9% more time over his rival to speak, I'm sure that Bob will be even more generous to the incumbent.
These people don't care. Just as liberals don't care about the crushing debt that is being placed on future American generations. They've got theirs and TO HELL with all the dumbasses who have consumed their product over the past decades. Bob will soon be retiring to his lavish beach home in Bora Bora, Martha to her mansion in the vineyard, and Candy to her ginger-bread castle somewhere in the Swiss Alps.October 18, 2012 - 10:53 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Is Time still in print? I canceled subscriptions to both time and Newsweek during the Clinton years. They both drifted away from news and into views, and they tried for a while to be subtle about it. When you come to a site like PJ media, if you are unaware that there is a conservative bias here in 5 minutes, you have to be daft. Newsweek and Time both tried to hide it and slide it into your way of thinking.October 19, 2012 - 8:53 am Link to this Comment | Reply

I would sometimes buy Newsweek just to see what kind of bad economics and political spin they were putting on the big stories, sort of reading enemy propaganda to gauge what they are thinking (or with liberals emoting). It usually took me quite a while to read through it because the lies, distortions and just plain bad information was so infuriating I'd read a little, get up and walk off some frustration and start again later. There's only so much BS one can take at a time.October 19, 2012 - 9:27 am Link to this Comment | Reply

TELANDER: Let Ryno prove mettle as manager elsewhere first
BY RICK TELANDER Sports Columnist August 17, 2013 7:36PM

Updated: September 19, 2013 10:11AM
What do we think about former Cubs star and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg getting his first major-league managerial job with the Phillies?
I know a lot of Cubs nuts think the Cubs blew it when they didn't hire Sandberg in 2011, opting for Mike Quade instead.
I'm not so sure. First of all, every manager is a doomed sheep with the Cubs. Do you think the much-courted Joe Girardi didn't know that?
Second of all, Sandberg was a lovely second baseman for the Cubs and a good manager in the Cubs' minor leagues. But what does any of that have to do with managing in the bigs?
Not much. You can't start a double play for the big-league guys, and Class AAA ball — where your best players come and go at the whim of the parent club — is to the bigs as Run-What-U-Brung Night is to the Daytona 500.
So let's see how Ryno does with the underachieving Phillies for a spell — he's only their interim manager, remember, filling in for just-fired Charlie Manuel — before declaring him the answer to the Cubs' drought.
Right now, Cubs fans love Sandberg. What's the hurry to knock him down there with Jim Essian, Tom Trebelhorn, Bruce Kimm, Dale Sveum and so on?
Did I mention the Cubs' ''College of Coaches''? No idea what that 1960s committee's field of expertise was, but it wasn't winning. Please, let's spare Sandberg from the fraternity of such clowns.
† WHAT HAPPENED to the great U.S. male tennis player? For the first time in 40 years, none is ranked among the top 20 in the world.
For that matter, what happened to male tennis players in general in this country? I don't hear guys talk about tennis. I don't see them on public courts. I don't see male jocks bopping around in tennis whites or trying to look like ''Big'' Bill Tilden, Jimmy Connors or even Andy Roddick. Was Andre Agassi's hairpiece the final straw?
Is it possible that, for red-blooded U.S. athletes, the individualistic game of tennis just isn't fun to play anymore?
I'm thinking.
† VIDEO REVIEW — more of it — is coming to major-league baseball, and isn't it about time?
When TV cameras can slow pitched balls down so much that they look like pumpkins rotating through glue, it's high time we didn't have umpires undoing perfect games or ruling runners safe when everybody knows they are out.
In 2010, Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga lost a perfect game when umpire Jim Joyce admittedly blew a call at first base with two outs in the ninth inning. And the Cardinals famously lost the 1985 World Series to the Royals in large part because of first-base umpire Don Denkinger's blown call in the ninth inning of Game 6.
It really is hard to have your eyeballs looking in two directions at the same time, as umpires often are required to do. Moreover, nobody accurately can assess plays made in a hundredth of a second or less.
So bring on the slo-mo. And umpires, you should rejoice.
† ANY PERSON with a logic chip in his or her brain knows the NCAA and its rules for big-time, revenue-producing sports are outmoded, unfair and likely insane. But they work for the powers that be — the athletic departments, TV networks, NCAA, bowl games, etc. — so change will come only through trauma. That is, serious boat-rocking of the USS College Football.
And normal-sized, cocky, immature Johnny Manziel, 20, well might be the guy who finally causes water to come in over the gunwales.
Manziel, the fleet, talented quarterback for Texas A&M — who also happens to be the reigning Heisman Trophy winner — might not be allowed to play his sophomore season. That would be everybody's loss because this is the kid who beat mighty Alabama last season and has a chance to be as dynamic as any college quarterback in history.
But reports are Manziel has signed memorabilia for cash, and the NCAA thinks that's a crime against its absurd rule book and is investigating whether to suspend Manziel for the season. This is the institution that has no problem selling likenesses of its amateur athletes to video-game companies, T-shirt companies, TV shows or just about anybody else who comes calling with a wad of cash in hand.
The hypocrisy of the profiteering NCAA not allowing a U.S. citizen — one old enough to vote or go to war — to sell his own signature to those who want to pay for it has to rock even the Barca-Lounger cynics who just want to watch the young fellers knock heads.
Reggie Bush, Cam Newton, Johnny Football — it seems these Heisman winners like money.
And why shoudn't they?
They learned from their bosses.

We inform our kind visitors that from Monday, Sept. 29th it will be possible to make reservation until June 30th 2015.
We'd like to inform our kind visitors that from November 3rd, 2014 "Giotto under the Stars" will be suspended. Evening visits will be temporary available during Christmas holidays from December 27th to December 30th 2014 and from January 2nd to January 11th 2015.
Therefore on those days it will be possible to visit the Scrovegni Chapel 19.00 - 22.00 every 20 minutes. Last entry at 21.20.
The Scrovegni Chapel, a masterpiece in the history of painting in Italy and Europe in the 14th century, is considered to be the most complete series of frescoes executed by Giotto in his mature age.
Colour and light, poetry and pathos.
Man and God.
The sense of nature and history, humanity and faith are mingled in narrating the stories of the Virgin Mary and Christ in a unique way.
Giotto completed the frescoes in the Chapel at the beginning of 1305.
At that time: "...the chapel presents very simple architecture: a rectangular hall with a barrel vault, an elegant gothic triple lancet window on the façade, tall, narrow windows on the southern wall, and a polygonal apse, later raised to contain the belfry".
The frescoes follow three main themes :episodes in the lives of Joachim and Anna (1-6), episodes in the Virgin Mary's life (7-13),episodes recounting Christ's life and death.
The lower parts of the walls contain a series of frescoes illustrating Vices and Virtues in allegory.
Call centre: +39 049 2010020
The call centre is operative: Mondays to Fridays, 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. - Saturdays, 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.
Reservation is compulsory.
On-line reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. It is not possible to reserve for the same day.
It is possible to make reservation until the day before the visit if you pay by credit card.
If you want to pay by bank transfer, the reservation should be made at least 3 days before the day of the visit calling the call-center.
We count three days excluding the day of visit and the day of reservation.
For example: if you want to visit the chapel on Friday, you should make reservation by the previous Monday.
Tickets should be collected well in advance; groups should show up at least 45 minutes prior to visit.

Can anyone help me figure out what Affinichi's raid cd tracker addon is? You can see it on the left hand side of the screen in his video of BL's Shek'zeer kill.
Thanks in advance!!
Its a custom blood legion add on, not available to general public, one of their guys made it.
Something similar to this could be done with WeakAuras. I'm assuming what you're referring to is the small bar on the left side. It would be somewhat complicated to configure, with several layers of auras, and would not be PUG friendly, but it's doable.
Main - Useful PvP Items - Hunter Pet Spreadsheet - Music and Stuff
I just tried downloading the file from github (as I don't use ElvUI), and I put the extracted file in my Addons folder, however when I go in game it does not show up in the addons list. Am I missing something? D:
OP - Its weak auras, The improt string can be dowloaded from a number of locations, however Affiniti has a video explaining it and provides the string for the import in his comments on the youtube video below.
Affiniti, was Ninecatz Brewmaster or Windwalker? I saw a ton of Guard bubbles going out, ala Black Ox Statue.

Students hoping to get involved off campus in the Kalamazoo area can earn credit while doing so in many classes at Western Michigan University.
Service learning is a program incorporated into several of WMU's classes that requires students to volunteer in their community. Students apply the knowledge they learn while doing their community service to their coursework in order to gain credit.
"The Service Learning program helps connect students with the community while opening them up to resources and providing professional experience," said Service Learning coordinator Erika David. "We work with faculty members and community organizations to set up service projects for students that are based in their course work."
David said the program is hoping to increase the number of classes that incorporate service learning into their curriculum.
"It's really a way for students and faculty to engage with one another and the community," said service learning coordinator Shawn Tenney.
Tenney said the experience is a way for students to practice with their learning while meeting a "community identified need."
Tenney said the goal of service learning is primarily engagement with the students and the community.
"Overall, service learning is geared toward the academic success of students and high quality education," David said.
David and Tenney both said that networking with the community is important. Tenney also said that service learning is important for building relationships between students and faculty.
Service learning also provides a professional experience for students while they learn in a practical setting, David said.
According to David, service learning components are often between 15 and 20 hours of service in the community.
Students who want to get involved can contact the Service Learning office to see what courses have a Service Learning component or work with their academic advisors to see if there are any service learning classes in their major.
Community members interested in service learning can also get involved by attending an informational breakfast in Bernhard Center rooms 208 and 209 on Friday, Sept. 28 at 8 a.m.

An intriguing briefing
paper from Forecast International seems to have some good news for
turboshaft powerplant manufacturers. The report told the ANN crew
that "rising worldwide demand" for new military helicopters,
combined with large-scale U.S. re-engining requirements, will
propel an otherwise flat turboshaft engine market to higher levels
during the coming decade, according to a Forecast International
market analysis. "The Market for Aviation Turboshaft Engines:
2004-2013" points to several key U.S. military programs that will
drive production of current-technology turboshaft engines; it also
describes emerging military requirements mandating new and more
efficient powerplant designs.
The demand for military turboshaft engines is expected to rise
significantly over the course of the forecast period as a number of
U.S. helicopter programs gain momentum. Military turboshaft
deliveries will increase from 776 in 2004 to more than 1,200 in
2009, and will remain near that level through the end of the
forecast period. Civilian helicopter production, according to the
report, will continue to require about 900 turboshaft engines per
year over the next six to seven years.
Recent U.S. military
helicopter operations in high-elevation regions have highlighted
the need for more powerful engines, and a long-term effort to
re-engine several hundred U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawks is intended
to address that need. Even more powerful replacement engines are
expected as a result of the Army's Improved Turbine Engine Program
(ITEP), which ultimately could yield a common powerplant for Black
Hawks and AH-64 Apaches. Under the auspices of ITEP and similar
programs, engine-builders have been striving to develop more
durable and economical turboshaft engines to power those
helicopters and their successors.
"Incremental upgrades to existing turboshaft engines will
continue to improve the performance and reliability of military
helicopters in the near term," said Rich Henderson, aerospace
analyst and co-author of the analysis. "However, some extraordinary
advances will be required toward the end of the forecast period, as
next-generation medium- and heavy-lift helicopters move off the
drawing boards and into development."
Among those are the U.S. Army's Air Maneuver Transport and the
successor to the venerable Black Hawk. The AMT could be configured
as a four-engine tiltrotor or other innovative aircraft, according
to initial Pentagon proposals. In any case, the final design is
likely to require turboshaft engines in the 6,000-shp (4,474-kW)
Forecast International projects that 19,719 turboshaft engines,
including 8,793 civil and 10,926 military engines, will be
delivered in the 2004-2013 period. These engines will have a total
value at $10.6 billion in 2004 U.S. dollars, including $7.5 billion
in military sales.

Officially hypothyroid now
Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in a while but wanted to give an update now that some things have changed... no questions at this time, but maybe my info could be useful to someone else in the future.
I forget where I left off with my last post, but it was probably after my second visit with the endocrinologist. He saw my sky-high prolactin levels and ordered a brain/pituitary MRI to look for a tumor. He also prescribed 2.5mg of bromocriptine to help bring prolactin down and shrink the tumor, if there was one. But nothing abnormal was found on the MRI, which I heard over the phone from a nurse rather than directly from the doctor, and I interpreted that as "probably no tumor" and that there was probably some other oddball cause for my high prolactin.
Anyway, after taking bromocriptine for 2 months, I had some more blood work done and had my next appointment with the endo earlier this week. My experience with the bromocriptine had been basically fine (no side effects) but I hadn't noticed much of an improvement in the symptoms that brought me to the endo in the first place. Really, all I can say is that I no longer felt an overpowering need to nap in the afternoon, and some of the brain fog had gone away. My weight had actually gone up a few pounds, and my hair falling out had worsened. But in full disclosure, I had also decided to change my diet shortly after my first endo appointment... he had made the comment that 20-25 grams of carbs per day is "really low" and I should probably up my protein some, too. He was not advocating a "high" carb diet, but something more than 25 grams per day, along with upping protein to around 100 grams a day.
So, during the 2 months between the appointments, I increased carbs and protein and naturally had to decrease fat, because I was still trying to watch calories. On average, I'd say I am getting 70-80 net carbs a day, close to 100 grams of protein (many days, still less than that), and not sure about fat. That website and app that cannot be named here tells me I should get about 1500 calories a day to be at a mild deficit, and then it allows for more calories based on how much is burned during my workouts (5-6 days a week). I also bought an activity tracking device (can I name it here? both syllables rhyme with "hit") that has encouraged me to move around more during the day in addition to my regularly scheduled workouts.
In spite of all that, I managed to gain somewhere around 5-ish pounds during the two months, and I had fought SO HARD to lose that during the previous six months of extremely low carb, moderate protein, high fat dieting. Again, I should add that I do a lot of strength workouts that tend to make me sore for a day or two afterwards, and I know that can increase weight.
On to the blood work, etc: my latest results indicated that my prolactin had gone down but nowhere near normal. It was 191, now it's 137 (normal range cuts off at 22). Even more interestingly, my Free T4 had now officially (cue the trumpets) dropped below the lab range. I can remember the number is .55, but I didn't memorize the lab range (I can add that later if anyone wants to know). Get this, my TSH has done nothing but drop substantially since the first time it was tested in August of last year. It's now like .68, if I remember correctly. And, my Free T3 is still on the bottom end of the lab range but slightly higher than last time it was tested. I know not having the lab ranges is useless, but last time it was 2.2 and now it's 2.8. I think the low-end cut off was 2.0 and high end was maybe 4??
My endo's reaction to all this was to double my bromocriptine to 5mg daily and (cue more trumpets) prescribe 50mcg a day of Synthroid! So now, I can finally say I'm "hypothyroid" although it's (I guess) called secondary hypothyroidism rather than primary, since it's clearly due to a pituitary problem rather than directly the thyroid. One last interesting comment from the endo was that he still says with 99% confidence that there's a tumor, but it just didn't show up on the MRI. There's no other good reason for my prolactin to have gone that high. Regardless, taking the bromocriptine is the treatment, tumor or no tumor, so it doesn't really matter.
So, ideally the bromocriptine will gradually bring my prolactin down to normal levels and at the same time, hopefully, get the thyroid numbers to where they should be. The Synthroid could just be a temporary measure to alleviate hypothyroid symptoms, while the bromocriptine could be a lifelong treatment to keep prolactin suppressed and prevent regrowth of the "tumor." I know that for many people, Synthroid is not the best treatment, but since my free T4 was the only number out of range, I'm not bothered by the idea of taking it for a while to see what happens. Relatively, my free T3 is "higher" than free T4 based on their respective positions in the lab range. So maybe I have no major problem converting T4 to T3. We'll see where I am in two more months, when I get blood drawn again and see my endo.
Whew...long post! No time to go back and proofread this time, so I apologize for any errors or confusing bits. Thanks for reading!

FT3 is 'considered normal by most thyroid doctors' when it is above half of lab range and not before. So...um....you 'look like' you are not converting. I can't remember...did you have a TPO antibodied test??? Cuz a lot of time Hashimoto's is found WITH pit problems. Oh, and FT4 is usually 'considered normal by most thyroid doctors' when it is halfway of lab range or slightly UNDER...yet doctors who only DO T4 like to see it high in range, they then tend to scoff at FT3, and call it 'good at anywhere in range'.
Just saying...have lots of pit tumors, Hashi's, and other endocrine ailments through my family line.

THURSDAY, Feb. 20, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People in cold, northern regions of the world have more gut bacteria linked with obesity than those in warm, southern areas, researchers report.
The findings are from an analysis of gut bacteria in more than 1,000 people in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
"People think obesity is a bad thing, but maybe in the past getting more fat and more energy from the diet might have been important to survival in cold places," study author Taichi Suzuki, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, said in a university news release. "Our gut microbes today might be influenced by our ancestors."
The study appeared online this month in the journal Biology Letters.
One theory is that obesity-associated gut bacteria can extract more energy from food, said Suzuki, who added that the findings suggest that what is considered healthy gut bacteria might vary according to geographic region.
Study author Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona, said the finding is "pretty cool, but it is not clear why we are seeing the relationship we do with latitude."
"Maybe changes to your gut community of bacteria are important for allowing populations to adapt to different environmental conditions in lots of animals, including humans," Worobey said in the news release.

Philanthropy: Planned Giving and Bequests
The gardens surrounding the University of Maine School of Law sign (pictured left) were donated by the Class of 2002 in memory of Jim Roux, a 1984 Maine Law graduate who was killed during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in NYC.
In the fall of 1962, the modern day University of Maine School of Law opened its doors on High Street in Portland. There were 27 students, three full-time faculty members, and one shared vision; to create a strong modern law school that would educate leaders, while contributing to the economic and social benefit of Maine and beyond.
Fifty years later, with more than 3,300 alumni throughout the U.S. and abroad – many who have made lasting contributions in public service, government, the business world and the legal profession, Maine Law continues to live up to that original vision.
This 50-year milestone represents an opportunity to reflect on shared achievements, while celebrating today's success and looking ahead to an exciting future for Maine Law.
Please consider joining others who share the goal of supporting Maine Law as it continues to live up to the vision of its founders. You can make your gift of a bequest, trust, pooled income fund, life insurance policy or charitable gift annuity. Please contact the Office of Advancement and External Affairs for additional informaton.

In response to AARP's narrow questionnaire and possible leanings toward supporting benefit cuts, Firedoglake has teamed up with CREDO Action, National Organization for Women, Social Security Works and other organizations to launch our own version of the AARP's "You've Earned a Say" survey, slightly modified to be more precise and more inclusive of all views on the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Firedoglake collected over 9,000 responses this weekend, and we're running ads and circulating the survey to hear from as many people as possible. Once we've all collected our responses, our coalition will publish the results in full– but until then, I wanted to offer a peek at some of the results we've received thus far.
If you haven't taken our survey on the future of Social Security and Medicare benefits, you may do so here.
Question #4 on AARP's Survey reads:
When it comes to securing the future of Medicare and Social Security, which of the following do you expect:
A: More funding will be needed to maintain the same benefits
B: Benefits will be reduced
C: Either A or B
D: None of the above
This question is one of the most skewed on AARP's survey, offering no opportunities for the individual to expect or hope for benefit increases– only a status quo described as hard to maintain, or worse. The question also lumps together Social Security and Medicare – two different programs with different needs. These are not good baseline options for defending Social Security and Medicare, and its hard to imagine this question producing an honest response from participants.
To get a better idea of what people really think about the future of Social Security and Medicare, we broke it in two: one on Social Security, one on Medicare. We also asked what folks wanted on this issue from AARP specifically, as well as added an option for people to express their desire for expanded benefits and cost controls – not just the same benefits, less benefits or higher taxes.
Here's what came back:
|When it comes to securing the future of Social Security, which of the following do you want AARP to fight for?
|AARP Member
|More funding to maintain or possibly increase benefits
|A combination of tax increases and benefits cuts.
|Benefit cuts without tax increases
|None of the above
|When it comes to securing the future of Medicare, which of the following do you want AARP to fight for?
|AARP Member
|Reduced benefits
|Expanding benefits by requiring everyone to pay somewhat more.
|Stronger and better cost controls on insurers, and hospitals, and other health care providers
|None of the above
I was unable to locate any published results of AARP's "You've Earned a Say" online questionnaire, but it's clear from our sample that regardless of membership in the organization, folks aren't content with the status quo and they certainly don't want less. In fact, they want the nation's largest, wealthiest elderly advocate to go out there and demand more on their behalf.
Our survey is still wide open, so click here to fill it out if you haven't already. We'll continue to monitor AARP's "You've Earned A Say" tour and will keep you updated on results from our coalition survey.

Congressman Coble admitted to hospital
U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, was admitted to a Greensboro hospital this afternoon, the third time in the past three years that health problems have landed the 81-year-old congressman in a medical center.
Coble's office reported Tuesday afternoon that the congressman, who represents parts of High Point, experienced bouts of dizziness and light-headedness for the past few weeks. Coble was admitted to Moses H. Memorial Cone Hospital for testing.
Coble's office reports that he almost fainted this morning while preparing to fly back to Washington. He went to Cone Hospital on the advice of his primary care physician, according to the congressman's office.
Ed McDonald, Coble's chief of staff, said that doctors at Cone Hospital want to keep Coble overnight for observation and additional testing.
"So far, all of Congressman Coble's vital signs look good according to the doctors at Cone," McDonald said. "They have ordered a CT scan to see if it can be determined what is causing the dizziness."
McDonald, who travelled with Coble last week during the district work period, said the congressman maintained a full schedule. "We travelled to Alamance, Orange and Rockingham counties and had many meetings throughout the 6th District," McDonald said. "There were times last week when Howard said he was feeling light-headed and needed to sit rather than walk or stand, but he still maintained all of the meetings and tours scheduled."
Unless further testing uncovers an immediate problem, it is expected that Rep. Coble will be released from Cone on Wednesday. It is unknown if he will be able to return to Washington this week.
Coble spent more than a week in the hospital in late 2011 after a respitory illness and its effects. Questions were raised at the time about whether the congressman, the longest-serving current representative in the North Carolina delegation, should run for another term. But Coble sought re-election last year, winning both a contested GOP primary and general election campaign against Democratic former state legislator Tony Forest of Alamance County.
Three years ago this month, Coble fainted and hit his head while attending a speech at the High Point Country Club. He recovered at High Point Regional Hospital and was given a clean bill of health on his discharge.

LouisvilleKY.com and Business First of Louisville report this afternoon that Louisville TV station WDRB (Ch. 41) has renewed its affiliation with Fox.
The agreement, which was reached following lengthy negotiations between the station and the network, should put to rest rumors which had been swirling about WDRB's future since May. That's when Fox announced that Nexstar's WTVW here in the Tri-State and Block Communications' KTRV in Boise, Idaho, were losing their Fox affiliations.
WDRB, which is also owned by Block, may have unintentionally stoked some of those rumors by rebranding itself recently as WDRB and its newscasts as WDRB News, dropping the longstanding Fox 41 moniker it had used for many years.
However, in a statement released today, WDRB says that a new deal is in place "for the foreseeable future," and Fox watchers in the Louisville market as well as many eastern Tri-State viewers who do not receive WEVV's Fox44 will still have a Fox programming choice to turn to.
You can read the entire statement after the jump.
WDRB-TV today announced the renewal of its network affiliation contract with the Fox network, assuring area viewers that the station will continue to be Louisville's source for popular programs such as "American Idol," "Glee" and "House," as well as major sports franchises including NFL football, NASCAR and Major League Baseball, for the foreseeable future.
"We're extremely happy we were able to reach this agreement with Fox and I believe the network is equally pleased," said Bill Lamb, WDRB President and General Manager. "WDRB has been one of Fox's strongest affiliates since we began our relationship when the network launched in 1986, and the partnership has been very beneficial to both parties for a quarter of a century. We look forward to continuing to bring Fox's quality lineup of programs to Louisville viewers for many years to come."

California Auto Wreck Recycling
Edited by: Nicholas Brit
Every American strives to own their first car. They scrimp and save and eventually have a vehicle to call their own. But, no matter how much you love that car or how long you keep it, eventually it grows old and breaks down. If you're like millions of people in California, you have a junk car on your property that you've been meaning to fix up or at the very least have taken away. But, who has the time or money?
Having a junk car towed away can cost as much as $200 and you gain nothing from a vehicle that has been there for years. That's why Old Junk Car strives to offer California residents a better option – one that lets you get rid of your junk car fast without paying a dime. In fact, in most cases you even stand to make a little money.
How Does Junk Car Removal Work?
When you call Old Junk Car, we immediately set about having one of our California junk car removal experts see to your particular vehicle. We can gather your information here on the website or over the phone and then schedule a time that is best for you to have an expert visit and remove your old car.
The best part is that we don't discern between cars. You could have a 1971 Rabbit rusting away in your garage or a 2008 Focus that got in a wreck six months ago. We will come and take it away and pay you what it's worth. In cases of severe wrecks, you will receive a check immediately when we remove your car. For cars in better condition that can be salvaged, one of our appraisers can assign a reasonable price you'll be paid upon transfer of ownership.
The best part is that your car will be transferred to us immediately so you don't even have to worry about who owns the vehicle once it has been removed from your property. We will pay cash for your junk car in California so if something happens, it's not on you.
California Junk Car Title Regulations
The following regulations must be followed in California to transfer ownership of your junk car.
• Certificate of Title – Sign and date the title with an odometer reading and smog certification (if your car is newer than 1975 and not a hybrid, electric, or diesel powered). No bill of sale is required in California.
Act Now to Sell Junk Cars to Us!
If you have a junk car blocking your California driveway, call Old Junk Car today and we help with your California junk car. Our trained junk car removal experts will visit your home, take away that old junker and compensate you fairly. You won't find a better deal than that.

"I loved the brussels sprouts and chestnuts, I found the chestnut at whole foods, they were cooked and not in a liquid. Things I would change about the turkey paupiette, we thought the turkey taste was too strong and powerful a flavor, so we would wrap them in pounded chicken breast in the future, if you are choosing turkey the escalopes are tough"
"This was so tasty, we all loved it. The only changes: The dough recipe called for four discs to be cut, but I just did two, as it was for two logs. Other than that, it was so simple and perfect."
"Everyone loves it and gives it 10 stars!!! I had a tough time finding the crushed almonds, without buying a ton, so I chopped them in the food processor! Surprisingly simple, and such a unique texture and beautiful taste. The cake was loved by all and they all want a printing of the recipe. Thank you! Love your show!"
