Treating cellulite can cause dimples to vanish, much like telling Shirley Temple she isn't real. Smooth things over with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $39 for one endermologie cellulite-reduction treatment (an $70 value)
- $100 for three endermologie cellulite-reduction treatments (a $210 value)<p>
During appointments that take less than one hour, a technician guides the endermologie system's motorized rollers over areas with cellulite. This massaging action helps break down lumpy tissue structures and encourages lymphatic drainage. Many clients see results within three to eight treatments. After that, a maintenance plan of one treatment per month is recommended.
Smooth Sensations Body Balance
The detox specialists at Smooth Sensations Body Balance help clients purge impurities and restore a sense of well-being. Cellulite-reduction treatments using endermologie equipment help break up unwelcome fatty deposits on thighs, buns, or midsections, and sessions in the infrared-sauna pod carry toxins away via perspiration. Ionic footbaths use gentle electric currents to draw out impurities, and facials rid skin of excess oils.
Friendly staff, great music and wonderful atmosphere. It's a super cute place that is clean and comforting.Helen F., Yelp, 2/9/12

|About TTEC
The Triangle Technology Executives Council (TTEC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the economic development of technology companies in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina through the education and collaboration among leaders in the management community. The council resources are primarily volunteers comprised of executive technology leadership in this region. Other resources are provided by TTEC sponsors who share the commitment for economic development in the area. We also partner with local universities and entrepreneurial organizations to extend our shared expertise to aspiring students and technology ventures.
Our mission is to facilitate the success of our member executives through education and collaboration. We will also contribute to the continued growth of business in the community by utilizing the collective IT executive base to support higher education and entrepreneurs.
The Triangle Technology Executives Council is the premier forum for networking and collaboration between technology executives in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina. We provide the ongoing open and candid deliberation on key technology issues facing our executive community and promote the social networking to foster the development of relationships essential to each member's success. We are considered an essential tool for the development and success of technology executives in the region.
The pillars of TTEC are:
Executive Education & Collaboration
The primary value available to TTEC members is the various means for collaboration among the constituents. Companies requiring expert advice for key decisions and development objectives can often utilize the collective expertise of the council as an alternative to expensive consulting engagements. It is our experience that challenges facing our member companies are usually shared problems and that collaboration with members sharing goals, or have experience overcoming particular challenges, can be the route to the most cost effective resolution.
TTEC education & collaboration is conducted in the following forums:
Higher Education Support
The Triangle Technology Executives Council offers mentoring and career development support to Computer Science students at local universities. Volunteer executives from TTEC provide the resources and executive level experience to provide meaningful support to aspiring technology resources. This encompasses the following:
Students participating in this effort gain a valuable perspective of
the executives they will be facing when it comes time to enter the
workforce. In the interim, they have the opportunity to gain
internships from the relationships built through the TTEC mentoring
Entrepreneurship and Economic Development SupportTTEC supports the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Triangle. Our volunteer technology executive resources provide mentoring for entrepreneurs in technology focused start-up companies and enable the immediate social networking among other technology leaders in the region. We believe the partnerships, shared experiences, and expert perspectives on technologies of the TTEC membership can be an important aspect in the success of a technology start-up. In addition to mentoring, TTEC supports the Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED), the local accelerators/incubators, entrepreneurial events, and the local angel funds/networks. A number of our members have worked or are working in startup companies. TTEC also lends expertise and resources to regional Economic Development organizations. We provide insight to businesses looking to possibly relocate and expand in the Triangle, and actively market our region as one of the best places for business and living in the United States.

The trucking industry is towing too many empty trailers to gain the speed it needs to reach a recovery, says FTR Associates.
Excess capacity helped drag the transportation forecasting firm's Trucking Conditions Index down two points in May to -22, indicating the industry remains "in solidly negative territory" well below the neutral reading of 0, FTR said.
The index, published monthly in FTR's "The Trucker's Dashboard," combines five trucking statistics into one metric measuring the overall health of the industry. The decline in May broke with three consecutive monthly increases.
That three-month improvement "was a function of reductions in the interest rates that truckers are paying, as well as the general expectation that freight will stop falling later this year," said Noel Perry, senior consultant and managing director of FTR Consulting Group.
"Further improvement in the index will require that freight volumes actually stop contracting and rates begin to improve," he said. "This will not occur for some months yet and when it does, it will be a slow climb."

Main Street or First Avenue? Those are the two potential locations for the future Mesa City Court building. But so far, residents, employees and even consultants remain divided on the issue.
Some city employees are pushing for the new $32 million project to be built on the northwest corner of Pomeroy and First Avenue. But members of the City Court staff said the new building would have a better civic presence if it's on the southeast corner of Hibbert and Main Street. Both city-owned properties are separated by a parking garage.
So far, support seems heaviest for the First Avenue site. The Downtown Development Committee, an advisory board, voted unanimously Thursday to endorse the First Avenue location. That vote concurs with the opinions of City Manager Chris Brady and departments and agencies such as Development Services, Economic Services and the Downtown Mesa Association
Two consultants hired by the city to study the sites were split on which site was better.
Tom Verploegen, president of the Downtown Mesa Association, said he thinks the court building should go on First Avenue because the Main Street site is better suited for private development. He said millions of dollars have been spent on a streetscape project along Main to draw people and businesses downtown.
"You get more bang for your buck," he said.
But Presiding Judge Matt Tafoya thinks Main Street is a better fit.
"The court building is the core and the beacon of light in the community," he said. "It's where people come for justice."
The city paid $10,000 to hire the two site-selection consultants.
Elliot D. Pollack & Co. recommended the First Avenue site to open up the Main Street site for private development, while RNL/KMD Architects recommended Main Street.
The new courthouse is expected to open by late 2009, Tafoya said. The Mesa Police Department will take over the current court building at 245 W. Second St.
Tafoya said the City Council is expected to provide direction on selecting a site during a study session Aug. 10.

Loadholt will have season-ending surgery on a torn pectoral muscle soon. The team placed him on IR, meaning he won't be back this season.
Loadholt sustained the injury against the Packers in Week 12.
Loadholt is dealing with a shoulder injury. He left the game fairly late in the contest, and it's unclear if he'll be cleared fast enough to return before the game ends.
Chad Greenway, Rodney Smith and Brandon Watts will all enter the game listed as questionable.
The Sharrif Floyd, Phil Loadholt, Michael Mauti and Xavier Rhodes are all probable heading into the contest.
Both Cordarrelle Patterson and Kyle Rudolph are considered probable for Week 3.
All but Johnson were able to fully participate in practice Friday. Johnson was a limited participant Friday.
All six players were able to practice in full throughout the week. Loadholt was limited on Thursday due to an illness, but was left off the practice report Friday.
Wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (back), tackle Phil Loadholt (knee); defensive linemen Sharrif Floyd (knee) and Letroy Guion (finger); linebackers Larry Dean (shoulder) and Erin Henderson (heel); and defensive backs Chris Cook (groin) and Harrison Smith (back) are all active despite being limited during practice at some point during the week.
Of the 10 players listed on the injury report Friday, only defensive lineman Kevin Williams is expected to miss the game. The remainder are listed as probable despite their various injuries, as follows: quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson (illness); defensive backs Chris Cook (groin), Harrison Smith (back) and Mistral Raymond (shoulder); linebackers Larry Dean (shoulder) and Erin Henderson (heel); defensive linemen Sharrif Floyd (knee) and Letroy Guion (finger); wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (back); and tackle Phil Loadholt (knee).

In January of last year, the Wall Street law firm of Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom co-hosted a symposium to encourage Chinese companies to take advantage of reverse merger opportunities in U.S. financial markets. Skadden Arps was also complicit with Goldman Sachs and the credit rating duopoly of Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service to open the U.S. financial markets to the Chinese Government in the face of China's $260 billion in defaulted foreign sovereign debt:
Justice Department Civil Racketeering and Antitrust Complaint:
Syntax Brillian's Business Model
I state without reservation that Syntax Brillian was formed as a result of a Taiwanese conspiracy to defraud the investors of the company. This is a tale of a Taiwanese conspiracy that used the US equities market to bilk investors. They filled the tub here and drained it in Taiwan. Vince Solitto, as CEO, proclaimed: "and I think they looked at that and said 'this could be one of those phony Chinese companies' like a Vizio or like Mag or Princeton Graphics or eMachines which are private companies in the US that basically move the profits back to Taiwan, go bankrupt and start over." In My opinion I delclare: This is worse, this was a public company! The crime has gotten bolder!
The sad part was that, in order to do what they did, the Taiwanese conspirators needed help (and got it) from entities and persons here in the US. Not only did the Taiwanese conspirators expect to bilk investors and make much more money than they ever would running a legitimate business, once this round was over they planned on coming back for more (the OIG stalking horse buyer). The goodwill and brand penetration of Olevia products (financed by shareholders) was to be swindled back to Taiwan. This left shareholders no chance to participate in or realize any profit. For the record, the OIG stalking horse buyer, pulled out of the deal which led to a harsh judgment for damages against them. In my opinion, the delicate and suspect alliance fell apart because it could not withstand the scrutiny of an examiner investigation. There was a selfish motive for submitting the bankruptcy petition in the manner in which it was filed.
The latest on Chinese Reverse Mergers:
All you have to do these days is type "Chinese Reverse Merger Fraud" into Google and you will be amazed at the quantity of companies coming out of the woodwork that are experiencing financial allegations of fraud – Syntax Brillian – is larger than 99% of the companies in terms of this method.

December 21, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - The federal government wasn't getting anything done but plenty of people were watching.
The 16-day partial government shutdown proved to be good business for the cable television news networks. CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC saw their viewership increase during the shutdown. Viewership peaked at more than five million Wednesday evening when Congress passed a compromise bill to put the government back online.
The shutdown also taught some reporters new benefits of virtually instant communications. Reporters say social media inquiries from viewers prompted questions they asked. In other cases, sources would tweet, text or email with reporters even as they were on-air.

Government confirms existence of Area 51
Conspiracy theorists, rejoice! We now have proof that Area 51 really does exist. The U.S. government recently released documents confirming the much-rumored military base, which they've officially been denying the existence of for years. Unfortunately, nothing in those documents mentions aliens, which most people associate with Area 51. In fact, the purpose of the base was for something much simpler: it was a test site for the military's U-2 spy planes.
After receiving the documents, George Washington University's National Security Archive made the official discovery of the facility in Nevada, about 80 miles from Las Vegas. The documents, "The Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The U-2 and OXCART Programs, 1954-1974," have been released slowly over time, but new recently declassified material reveals Area 51's main mission. There are no references to either aliens or alien spaceships in the documents and, obviously, the U-2 spy plane testing could explain various reports of UFO's in the area at the time. So make of that what you will.
What the documents do include, though, is a lot of interesting reading material about the U-2 program. Not only does it contain a full list of every pilot involved with the program, there is also information about how the British participated, along with specifics about several unmanned aerial reconnaissance missions. A map of Area 51 is also included, along with accounts of some covert U-2 operations.
Sorry, alien enthusiasts. However, we'll always have Roswell.

Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Creditors of bankrupt MF Global Holdings Ltd. are clashing with customers of the MF Global Inc. brokerage over assets as each side seeks more money for itself.
Creditors of the parent company formerly run by Jon Corzine yesterday faulted the brokerage trustee James Giddens for planning to distribute $2.1 billion to customers without verifying that the customers are entitled to receive the funds. Separately, brokerage customer Sapere Wealth Management LLC asked a federal judge yesterday to rearrange MF Global Holdings' bankruptcy so commodity customers of its brokerage get priority for their claims.
The quest for more assets intensified after Giddens said money missing from the brokerage's U.S. commodity customer accounts, which should have been segregated, may exceed $1.2 billion, more than double the previous estimate. The parent company's creditors also are facing uncertain paybacks as cash dwindles to a projected $3 million by Jan. 6, according to filings.
Still, getting priority claims from an affiliate might be difficult, said Stephen Lubben, a bankruptcy law professor at Seton Hall University in Newark, New Jersey.
If brokerage customers have a shortfall, "their claim for the remainder is on a par with other unsecured creditors," he said in an e-mail. "I don't know of any argument for priority of such a claim."
Right to Cash
In its filing, Sapere said the judge might help brokerage customers by reviewing the parent's right to use cash. The parent currently has permission to use the cash until Dec. 9, when the judge is due to revisit the matter.
The holding company needs the money to pay employees and cover real estate and technology costs, according to court papers. Projected cash outflows for the company and affiliates are $11.8 million through Jan. 6 and would leave a balance available for use of $3 million on that day, according to filings.
Other commodity customers have objected to the parent's plan to give special protection to lenders including JPMorgan Chase & Co., saying that would hurt them.
The holding company's creditor committee meanwhile has seen large payouts to commodity customers. Paying the wrong people or paying out too much will hurt the bankrupt parent company's estate, which has claims against the brokerage and owns its equity, creditors' lawyer Martin Bienenstock said in a court filing yesterday.
Commodity Accounts
Giddens, who is liquidating the brokerage, has transferred about 38,000 commodity accounts to other firms, and said he plans to sell 330 securities accounts. Three transfers of collateral made and pending will give commodity customers about $4 billion of their assets, according to court filings.
The parent company's Oct. 31 bankruptcy filing, the eighth- largest in U.S. history, listed assets of $41 billion. Jon Corzine, the former co-chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., quit as MF Global's CEO on Nov. 4.
The brokerage case is Securities Investor Protection Corp. v. MF Global Inc., 11-02790, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The parent's bankruptcy case is MF Global Holdings Ltd., 11-bk-15059, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Riquna Williams scored 51 points against the San Antonio Silver Stars on Sunday, breaking the WNBA record for most points scored by a player in one game. The record was previously held jointly by Diana Taurasi and Lauren Jackson who scored 47 points in their record-setting and tying performances.
It took some digging, but here is the box score from Taurasi's record setting game. Her 47 points came in 44 minutes -- 10 minutes longer than it took Williams to break the scoring record. Taurasi did it in a win against the defunct Houston Comets who boasted WNBA superstar Tina Thompson at the time which makes Taurasi's performance all the more impressive.
She fouled out of the game (Taurasi foul out? Perish the thought!), preventing her from taking part in all three of the overtime periods. If she had the opportunity to play 50 minutes, perhaps we would be talking about Williams' regulation record instead of the overall record.
Taurasi made 17 shots from the field, just like Williams. Taurasi made eight 3-pointers, just like Williams. The only area where Williams had the edge was in free throws -- Taurasi made five of her seven free throws while Williams made all nine of her shots from the charity stripe.
So it all came down to free throws, huh? Now let's take a look at how Jackson reached the 47 point mark.
Jackson's record-tying game came in 2007 in a loss to the Washington Mystics. This contest also went to overtime, but unlike the Phoenix/Houston game it only took one overtime frame for the Mystics to win it. Jackson played 42 of the 45 minutes, eight minutes longer than Williams played and two minutes fewer than Taurasi.
Her game, unsurprisingly, relied less on the 3-point shot and more on free throws. Jackson made 18 shots from the field, but only two of them were 3-pointers. She shot 9-11 from the free throw line, which made up the distance between her field shooting and Taurasi's.
Both Taurasi and Jackson are hall of fame caliber WNBA players, so these performances aren't exactly shocking. They are incredible, no doubt, but you kind of expect Taurasi and Jackson to put their names in the record books, right?
Williams isn't Jackson, and she sure as heck isn't Taurasi. That isn't a knock on Williams -- they are two of the greatest players in the game. On any given Sunday, anything is possible is how the saying goes, right? Well, Williams certainly had a Sunday unlike any day before it. Some perspective:
On Sunday, Williams score 51 points. Her career average is 14.
On Sunday, Williams made 17 field goals. Her career average is four.
On Sunday, Williams made eight 3-pointers. Her career average is 1.3.
On Sunday, Williams made her seventh start in her fifty-eighth game in the WNBA.
On Sunday, Williams wrote her name in the WNBA record book.
In her second year as a professional out of the University of Miami, Williams torched a Silver Stars defense that is the third worst in the WNBA -- and probably worse now that the Phoenix Mercury are playing competent defense. San Antonio is giving up an average of 76 points a game -- Williams scored 67 percent of that average all by herself.
Of course the Silver Stars are missing their top three players and even one of their better bench players. That doesn't take anything away from Williams' achievement, but it gives some context to her record.
When Taurasi picked up the mantle against Houston, she was doing it against the fifth-best defense in the league. The Comets allowed an average of 72 points a game, while Phoenix was the biggest defensive sieve in the league (sounds familiar) as they allowed 84 points a game.
In 2007, Jackson dominated the fifth-worst defense in the league; the Mystics allowed an average of 77 points per game -- a number much closer to what the Silver Stars are giving up a game.
What now for Williams? She has made a name for herself in the league now, and everyone will be waiting for her follow-up performance, right? Was it just lightning in a bottle or is this the breakout moment "bay bay" has been hoping for?
Those questions will be answered soon enough; for now, Williams can enjoy her accomplishment. She'll be back in action against the Seattle Storm on Thursday in Tulsa, where I'm sure she will get a warm ovation.

"Jesus Christ Superstar" Tour Starring John Lydon, Members of Destiny's Child and 'NSync Canceled
By Evan Minsker on May 31, 2014 at 3:14 p.m. EDT
Earlier this year, it was reported that an arena tour production of "Jesus Christ Superstar"—the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice rock opera about the final days of Jesus Christ—would feature Sex Pistols/Public Image Ltd. singer John Lydon, Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams, Incubus' Brandon Boyd, 'NSync's JC Chasez. That tour has now been canceled, the Associated Press reports.

A new touring production of "Jesus Christ Superstar", the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical about the final days of Jesus Christ, has been announced. Bizarrely/amazingly, it'll feature Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. singer John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) in the role of King Herod, as The New York Times points out.

The song, "One Drop", will appear on a Record Store Day vinyl-only EP, out April 21. It precedes the band's new 12-track album, due in May or June, as the band's website notes. This is the first new PiL album in two decades.
News in Brief: John Lydon/Johnny Rotten, Masta Killa, the Soft Moon, Open Melody Festival
By Tom Breihan on November 11, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. EST
-- Sex Pistols/PiL frontman John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) is our new Willy Wonka. Drowned in Sound reports that Lydon has written a new coffee table book, Mr. Rotten's Scrapbook, which is limited to 750 copies and costs £449, or about $723. 100 of those 750 copies includes one of the golden tickets you see above. This ticket entitles you to a 10-minute one-on-one webcam chat with Mr. Lydon himself. So $611 for a book and a 13.3% chance to Skype with one of rock history's most notorious assholes. Hey, it's your money.
-- On November 16, Royal Lion Entertainment will release the digital album Wu-Tang: The Next Chamber, a rarities compilation from the sharp, underrated Wu-Tang Clan MC Masta Killa. Various Wu-Tang members appear, as do Pete Rock and R.A. the Rugged Man, and iTunes buyers will also get video footage of live performances and interviews.
-- Luis Vasquez, who records as the Soft Moon, has already released a couple of singles of dark, atmospheric rock. On November 16, he'll release his self-titled debut album via Captured Tracks. Check out album tracks "Breathe the Fire" and "Tiny Spiders" on the Forkcast.
-- The Open Melody Festival comes to the Cross Cultural Center at UC Irvine in Irvine, California November 19-20. Two-day passes go for $14, which is way less than the John Lydon book, and the lineup features High Places, Nobunny, Zs, Soft Circle, Arrington de Dionyso, XBXRX, Dustin Wong, and the reunited Diskettes.

"They are a strange bunch of people but I like them; they share the PiL philosophy. They have raised the money to film a documentary of our U.S. tour. Can you think of anything better playing on your TV or in your movie house? Me on stage. Me in my underpants on a bus. Ha! It will be inspirational... to all those with a mind to be inspired."

Echo Chamber: John Lydon Snubs Gorillaz
By Ryan Dombal on July 14, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. EDT
"They gave me a bell but the answer was 'no.' I really don't want to be dabbling in other people's gene pools. I've worked with many so-called famous people over the years but it's never been for any deliberate financial motivation. If I did it wouldn't be a business phone call followed by a management agreement and then for an album manufactured and marketed as to what the current popular trends were."
-- John Lydon turned down an offer from Damon Albarn to guest on the new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach. Speaking of "deliberate financial motivation," do we really need to break out that Sex Pistols performance on "The Tonight Show" from a couple years back? (via Daily Star via NME)
John Lydon Brings Reunited Public Image Ltd. to North America
By Tom Breihan on February 24, 2010 at 3:45 p.m. EST
Last year, John Lydon reunited his Public Image Ltd. outfit to tour the UK. Except he didn't really reunite the band-- the newly reconstituted version featured no original members besides Lydon, or even any early-period members. Rather, Lydon patched together a version of his pioneering post-Pistols postpunk crew with two late-80s members (Lu Edmonds and Bruce Smith), as well as hired gun Scott Firth.
Well, that sorta-PiL lineup is still kicking, and they'll tour North America this spring, starting with a set at the Coachella Festival. And as tacky as it may be to reunite a classic band with no other classic members, the prospect of hearing Lydon howl "Albatross" in person may be too much to pass up. Dates below.
Public Image Ltd. Reunite for Tour
By Tom Breihan on September 8, 2009 at 2:15 p.m. EDT
When John Lydon reunited the Sex Pistols to rake in tour money, he at least was able to rope in the band's entire original lineup. Billboard reports that Lydon is now getting back together with the band he formed after the Pistols' breakup, postpunk standard bearers Public Image Ltd. Except this version of PiL, which will tour the UK this winter, doesn't include foundational members Jah Wobble and Keith Levene. Or anybody that was in the band when they recorded the apocalyptic classic Metal Box, or anything from the early-to-mid 80s.
For this tour, Lydon has recruited two of the band's late-80s members, Lu Edmonds and Bruce Smith, as well as hired-gun multi-instrumentalist Scott Firth. In this Guardian interview, Lydon calls PiL his "first love" and says vague things about the tour: "We'll see where we can go. Some things may be quite similar; some may not."
All the dates are below.

Though often augmented by additional players, Friction Farm is at heart the duo of singer/bassist Christine Stay and singer/guitarist Aidan Quinn (no, not the actor). Stay's voice has the reflective tenderness of 10,000 Maniacs-era Natalie Merchant and the commandingly emotive range of Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano, while Quinn's guitar combines dulcet jangle, down-home picking, and chunks of stadium-rocking power chords. If this be the stuff of uncool, then call me Barney Fife.
Friction Farm performs at 10 p.m. Sunday, February 27, at Dada, 52 Swinton Ave., Delray Beach. The show is free. Call 561-330-3232.

Good Grief, Now Theaters Cancel Screenings of 'Team America' Per Paramount Pictures … Joe Scarborough Goes Off, "If We Have Gotten to the Point Now Where Ypu are Banning Puppet Movies Because You Fear North Korea, YOU SUCK"
UNREAL … Now it would appear that we are canceling screenings of 'Team America'. Seriously, is this how gutless and cowardice we have become? The United States is turning tail to North Korea, REALLY? I do not think I could have said it better than Joe Scarborough, "If we have gotten to the point now where you are banning puppet movies because you fear North Korea, let me just say, YOU SUCK!!! I'm glad you don't guard the Pentagon, I'm glad you weren't there in 1944 scaling the walls of Normandy, YOU JUST SUCK."
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and two other theaters with plans to screen "Team America: World Police" instead of Sony's "The Interview" next week have abruptly cancelled those plans. They say Paramount Pictures, which made the "Team America" film, pulled the movie from all theaters. We've reached out to the movie studio for comment, and we'll update if we hear from them.
When hackers give you lemons, you've got to make lemonade.
One Dallas-area movie theater refuses to take the fallout from Sony's epic data breach sitting down. In true Texas form, it's dialed up the patriotism to 15 and announced plans to host a screening of "Team America: World Police" instead of the embattled assassination comedy "The Interview" next week.
Must watch VIDEO, my response to Joe Scarborough, F*CK YEAH!!! (warning: language)
This is what the movie thrqatres and Paramount pictures were afraid to show, really? The damn movie came out in …. Hey, Terrorize this!

AMBER ALERT: 5 Year Old Kenneth White Missing Since 12/18/14 in Berne, NY (Update: Boys Body Found 12/19/14) (Update: 19 Year Old Tiffany Van Alstyne Charged and Arrested in Boys Death)
On Thursday, December 18, 2014 the Albany County Sheriff's Office activated the New York State AMBER Alert for missing 5 year old Kenneth White and began investigating the child's abduction that occurred on Thatcher Park Road, in Berne, New York, at about 1:20 p.m. According to initial accounts, Kenneth White was being watched by the 19-year-old daughter of his legal guardians when the two men entered the house, pinned the woman to the floor and took the child.
Two suspects forced entry into a home and abducted a 5-year-old boy, police said.
They fled the scene in an unknown make, 2-door black pickup truck with an unknown license plate. The truck was last seen traveling on Thatcher Park Road, police said.
The child is identified as Kenneth White. He is described as a white male with short, brown hair and brown eyes. He is approximately 3 feet 5 inches and weighs about 45 pounds.
Kenneth was last seen wearing jeans and a checkered white short-sleeve shirt.
The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall. The suspect was last seen wearing black clothing, including a ski mask, black boots and black gloves.
There was a second suspect, unknown race, wearing similar clothing.
Anyone with any information on this abduction is asked to call the Albany County Sheriff's Office at 866-NYS-AMBER or dial 911 to provide information on a report or sighting.
UPDATE I: AMBER ALERT canceled after 5 year old Kenneth White found dead.
The Amber Alert for Kenneth White, the 5-year-old boy abducted from his Albany-area home Thursday afternoon, has been cancelled after the boy was found dead, state police announced.
The Amber Alert was canceled at 11:46 p.m. Thursday. A police K-9 unit found White's body near the trailer he was abducted from, WNYT in Albany reported.
Apple told the Times Union that authorities have a "person of interest" in White's death. His death is being considered a homicide, CBS 6 in Albany reported.
UPDATE II: Arrest made in the death of 5 year old Kenneth White.
An arrest has been made in the death of 5 year old Kenneth White; however, it is not who or what was initially expected. It turns out the initial account by the 19 year old babysitter was a hoax. Tiffany Van Alstyne, the boys cousin, has been charged with second degree murder. She was arraigned today and plead not guilty. She is being held without bail.
Tiffany Van Alstyne
Authorities have arrested a 19-year-old woman in connection with the death of a 5-year-old boy who police say was falsely reported to have been abducted from a home in upstate New York.
Tiffany Van Alstyne is charged in the death of Kenneth White, who authorities say was strangled and also suffered blunt force trauma to the head, reports CBS affiliate WRGB. The accused is a cousin of the victim. VanAlstyne's parents have been the legal guardians of Kenneth, his twin sister and a 4-year-old sister since September.
Babysitter's Story of Masked Intruders Unravels as She's Charged in Strangulation Death of 5-Year-old.
Police began to question Van Alstyne – the daughter of Kenneth's legal guardians. As cops interviewed Van Alstyne, they say her story began to fall apart. "Reports of the masked men and the black truck, those are false," Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told reporters on Friday morning. "We caught some contradictions in two different statements that were taken, so a few flags had popped. It's a horrific case. We lost a 5-year-old child, a senseless death, who left behind a twin sister and a 4-year-old sister."
Police believe that Van Alstyne killed White in the house and dumped him outside. "He was basically thrown away like a piece of trash," said Sheriff Apple. "It is sinful and it is sad."
On Friday, police charged Van Alstyne with second-degree murder as her mother, Brenda Van Alstyne, looked on. During the arraignment, Brenda Van Alstyne said that her daughter suffers from bi-polar disorder, The Times Union reported. Tiffany Van Alstyne pleaded not guilty and was sent to the county jail with no bond.

Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, Wisconsin Girls Ruled Competent to Stand Trial in Slenderman Stabbing Case
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren has ruled that two Wisconsin girls, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, are competent to stand trial in the "Slenderman" stabbing case. The two girls, who were 12 years old at the time of the crime, were charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide in the attack on their classmate the morning after a sleepover in May in Waukesha, WI. They stabbed their victim 19 times in an attempt to impress Slenderman, a tall, online bogeyman that they insisted was real. The victim survived the attack.
Two Wisconsin girls accused of luring a classmate into the woods and repeatedly stabbing her to please a fictional Internet character named Slenderman are competent to stand trial, a judge ruled on Thursday.
Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, both 12 at the time, were charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide in the attack on their classmate the morning after a sleepover in May in Waukesha, a suburb west of Milwaukee.
The girls told investigators they attacked their classmate to impress Slenderman, a tall, online bogeyman that they insisted was real, according to a criminal complaint.
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren ruled Weier competent to stand trial after hearing testimony from a psychiatrist called by the state.
Prosecutors have charged both girls with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the attack in May in Waukesha, Wisconsen. They say the girls plotted for months to kill classmate Payton Leutner, luring her to a wooded park after a sleepover and stabbing her 19 times. After her attackers left, Leutner crawled through the woods to a sidewalk where a bicyclist found her and called 911. The girls could be sentenced to up to 60 years in prison if convicted of attempted homicide as adults. However, they could be held until age 25 if convicted as juveniles.

U.S. Airstrikes Kill 3 Top ISIS Leaders (Haji Mutazz, Abd al Basit & Radwan Talib)
U.S. airstrikes have killed two top-level and one mid-level ISIS leader, Haji Mutazz was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy in Iraq; Abd al Basit was his military emir in Iraq; and Radwan Talib was his Mosul emir.
U.S. airstrikes have killed two top-level and one mid-level ISIS leader, a senior U.S. military official tells CNN.
Haji Mutazz was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy in Iraq; Abd al Basit was his military emir in Iraq; and Radwan Talib was his Mosul emir. Their deaths resulted from multiple strikes going back to mid-November — it has taken until now to determine conclusively they were killed.
"I can confirm that since mid-November, targeted coalition airstrikes successfully killed multiple senior and mid-level leaders within the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant," said Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby, in a statement on Thursday.
"We believe that the loss of these key leaders degrades ISIL's ability to command and control current operations against Iraqi Security Forces, including Kurdish and other local forces in Iraq," he said.

Sony Pictures Entertainment & Movie Theaters Bows to North Korea's Threats … Cancels Release of 'The Interview' (VIDEO – Movie Trailer)
Sony Pictures pulled the release of the anti-North Korean regime movie "The Interview" today. This came after Sony received threats that 9-11 like attacks on movie theaters would occur and they would be blown up if the movie was released. For that the movie was canceled. From the trailer, the movie looks somewhat lame, but one has to wonder why Sony would have green-lighted a movie like this for a comedy with the assassination of a foreign leader, whether he be a dictator or not. Gee, who could not have seen anything going wrong? But instead, Sony now does pull the flick from the screens after receiving threats. How brave of them.
With theater chains defecting en masse, Sony Pictures Entertainment has pulled the planned Christmas Day release of "The Interview."
U.S. officials have reportedly linked a massive cyber attack against Sony to North Korea, which is at the center of the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy.
"We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public," Sony said in a statement. "We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome."
In announcing the decision to cancel the holiday debut, Sony also hit back at the hackers who threatened movie theaters and moviegoers and who have terrorized the studio and its employees for weeks.
"Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like," the statement reads.
A few hours after making the announcement, a studio spokesman said that Sony had "no further plans" to release the comedy, either on VOD or DVD.
"The Interview" centers on a hapless television host who is recruited to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The country has condemned the film and some cyber-security experts believe that it played a role in the hacking attack on the studio. North Korea has denied involvement in the attacks.
Well you can't see the movie anymore, but you can watch the trailer.

FCC Says Using "Redskins" On the air Isn't Obscene or Profane … Daniel Snyder-owned station WWXX-FM Keeps License
File this one under PC police lose one and the Federal government actually gets something right …
The FCC has ruled that saying the word "Redskins" on the airwaves is not obscene or profane. The Federal Communications Commission dismissed a petition that called for one of the team's flagship radio stations, WWXX-FM, not to have its license renewed based on the repeated use of the word "Redskins." The petition stated that the use of the word violated rules against indecent content. Good grief. Thankfully, cooler heads and the law prevailed.
Saying the word "Redskins" on the air isn't obscene or profane – at least not according to the Federal Communications Commission.
The FCC on Thursday dismissed a petition that called for one of the team's flagship radio stations not to have its license renewed. The petition claimed repeated use of the word "Redskins" violates rules against indecent content.
But the FCC said that the law defines profanity as sexual or excretory in nature – meanings that don't relate to the name of the football team.
Many Native American and other groups consider "Redskins" to be a racial slur and have demanded that owner Dan Snyder change the name. Snyder says he'll never change the name, and he has the official backing of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Thursday's ruling affects the Snyder-owned station WWXX-FM.

Sen Bob Menendez D-NJ) Slams Naive Barack Obama on Cuba … "Fallacy to Believe Cuba Will Reform Because an American President Opens His Hands & the Castro Brothers Will Suddenly Unclench Their Fists"
Democrat New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, a Cuban-American whose parents immigrated to Union City, NJ in the 1950s, blasted President Barack Obama's motions toward normalization of relations with Raul and Fidel Castro's government in Cuba. Menedez saidhe was disappointed in the president and "I think it stinks".Menedez was also none too happy that the Obama administration had been negotiating with Cuba for more than a year and he was never consulted.
"I think it stinks," Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants and the outgoing Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, said at a press conference on new financial help for Hurricane Sandy residents. "I think it's wrong. I am deeply disappointed in the president."
Angry over Obama's failure to consult him on the talks involving Cuba, which lasted more than a year, Menendez said he would not approve easing the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba, which can only be done by Congress, and called on the incoming chairman of the committee, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) to hold hearings when the new Congress convenes in January.
Sen. Menendez: One-sided deal rewards Cuba regime:
By releasing Mr. Gross in exchange for three convicted Cuban spies who conspired to commit espionage against our nation, this administration has wrongly rewarded a totalitarian regime and thrown the Cuban regime an economic lifeline.
For compromising on bedrock U.S. values, we received zero commitments from the regime to change its ways, to hold free elections, permit dissent, halt censorship and free all political prisoners. We abandoned U.S. policy, while the Castro brothers' stranglehold on power just got tighter.
This swap sets an extremely dangerous precedent and invites dictatorial and rogue regimes to use Americans serving overseas as bargaining chips.
Most concerning is that the decision to open relations with Cuba fails to understand the nature of the Castro regime that has exerted its authoritarian control over the Cuban people for 55 years.
There is no reason that Cuba will reform just because the American president believes that, if he extends his hand in peace, the Castro brothers will suddenly unclench their fists.

Bipartisan Blasting of Barack Obama's Change in Policy on Cuba … Sens. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) & Marco Rubio (R-FL) Rip Obama, "Worst Negotiator in Modern US History
Following Barack Obama's change in foreign relations with Communist Cuba, Obama feels the bipartisan backlash of politicians. Republicans and Democrats alike both question the purpose and the wisdom behind Obama's actions. Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) both blasted Obama's ill-advised, naive and foolish changes in relations with Cuba.
Marco Rubio went on to say, "the Cubans have agreed to release political prisoners and allow more internet access; however, they are creating no economic openings, no concessions on freedom of speech, no concessions on elections, no concession on freedom to have alternate political parties, no concessions on having elections." Where are the democratic concessions from Communist Cuba? But this is Obama's MO, giving away the farm unilaterally, ,"in exchange for nothing". Rubio stated that Barack Obama … he is the worst negotiator in modern US history.
"My interest in Cuba has been the furthering of democracy and freedom," Rubio said. "Nothing the president will announce today will further that goal…It's part of long record of coddling dictators and tyrants this administration has."
"They've created no economic openings, no concessions on freedom of speech, no concessions on elections, no alternative political parties. …The idea that this leads to democratic opening is absurd, but it is par for the course for an administration possibly giving away unilateral concessions for Iran or Cuba in exchange for nothing."
RUBIO RIPS OBAMA … "Nothing the president will do will further that goal" of Democracy and freedom
But wait, it is not just Republicans that are livid with Barack Obama's actions. Democrat Senator Bob Menendez condemned Obama's Cuban prisoner swap today after it was announced. Menendez said the deal, "vindicated the brutal behavior of the Cuban government."
Sen. Robert Menendez (N.J.), the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is slamming President Obama over the deal to release an American held in Cuba.
"President Obama's actions have vindicated the brutal behavior of the Cuban government," Menendez, known for his tough stance on Cuba, said in a statement.
"There is no equivalence between an international aid worker and convicted spies who were found guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage against our nation."
American aid worker Alan Gross, who was held in Cuba for five years for trying to set up Internet for a small Jewish community, was released on Wednesday as the U.S. released three Cuban agents convicted of spying.
Menendez said the move "sets an extremely dangerous precedent."
"It invites dictatorial and rogue regimes to use Americans serving overseas as bargaining chips. I fear that today's actions will put at risk the thousands of Americans that work overseas to support civil society, advocate for access to information, provide humanitarian services, and promote democratic reforms."

Barack Obama Normalizes Relations With Catro's Communist Cuba
President Barack Obama announced that the United States will normalize relations with Communist Cuba. As the WAPO writes, Obama gives the Castro regime in Cuba an undeserved bailout. What would you expect from a man who blames America for everything bad in the world. Note to Obama, Cuba is run by Communist dictators, or don't you care?
Obama & Raul Castro, Bosom Buddies
After a half-century of Cold War acrimony, the United States and Cuba moved on Wednesday to restore diplomatic relations — a historic shift that could revitalize the flow of money and people across the narrow waters that separate the two nations.
President Barack Obama's dramatic announcement in Washington — seconded by Cuban President Raul Castro in Havana — was accompanied by a quiet exchange of imprisoned spies and the celebratory release of American Alan Gross, a government contract worker who had been held in Cuba for five years.
The shift in U.S.-Cuba policy was the culmination of 18 months of secret talks between the longtime foes that included a series of meetings in Canada and the personal involvement of Pope Francis at the Vatican. It also marked an extraordinary undertaking by Obama without Congress' authorization as he charts the waning years of his presidency.
"These 50 years have shown that isolation has not worked," Obama declared at the White House. "It's time for a new approach."
Obama spoke as Castro was addressing his nation in Havana, where church bells rang and school teachers paused lessons to mark the news. Castro said that while the U.S. and Cuba remain at odds on many matters, "we should learn the art of living together in a civilized manner in spite of our differences."
Obama's plans for remaking U.S. relations with Cuba are sweeping: He aims to expand economic ties, open an embassy in Havana, send high-ranking U.S. officials including Secretary of State John Kerry to visit and review Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. The U.S. also is easing restrictions on travel to Cuba, including for family visits, official government business and educational activities. But tourist travel remains banned.
Hmm,an embassy in Cuba eh? Who is going to approve the funding for that or vote for the approval of an ambassador?

Elsevier Launches New Open Access Journal: Photoacoustics
MUNICH, November 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, is pleased to announce the launch of the new open access journal Photoacoustics.
The aim of Photoacoustics is to publish original research and review contributions within the fast growing scientific field of photoacoustics (optoacoustics) and thermoacoustics. Research in this area exploits optically and electromagnetically excited acoustical and thermal phenomena for visualization and characterization of a variety of materials and biological tissues, including living organisms.
Research directions employing photoacoustics are revolutionizing the ways that optical sensing and imaging are applied. Imaging based on photoacoustic techniques is considered the fastest growing bio-imaging modality. Likewise, photoacoustic sensing of tissues and cells, environmental and industrial measurements, spectroscopic detection and applications in nanotechnology and nanomedicine experience an unprecedented growth. In parallel, novel technologies including novel light sources, advanced ultrasonic detectors, novel contrast generation approaches and data processing and inversion methods are advancing to enable more accurate and quantitative use of photoacoustic techniques. Overall, photoacoustic techniques are expected to shape the future of optical methods and bring significant new performance in sensing and imaging sciences.Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Photoacoustics, Professor Vasilis Ntziachristos, from the Technische Universität München and the Helmholtz Zentrum München, together with Section Editors Professor Daniel Razansky, Professor Stanislav Emelianov and Professor Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, and a highly accredited international Editorial Board, aim for the journal to not only contribute as a medium to report on exciting progress in the field, but also as means to develop a society of scientists with interests in the development and application of the technology. "Photoacoustics is an exciting and fast growing field of research that needs dedicated representation to support growth and encourage impact on different applications," said Professor Vasilis Ntziachristos. "This is a time of change for the optical method. And it is time for a journal that captures all the exciting developments in this highly promising field." Articles published in Photoacoustics are published open access; first publications are now available online on ScienceDirect. For more information or to submit an article, go to Photoacoustics. http://www.journals.elsevier.com/photoacoustics About Open Access Publishing at Elsevier

If you haven't figured out your summer just yet, or are looking for some extra challenge, check out Summer of Startups teams looking for talent. Most of the teams are looking for different kinds of software developers, so there are a lot of possibilities for you if programming is your thing.
Aalto Entrepreneurship Society is proud to announce a new event concept called Startups Studio. It's going to be organized every Wednesday 6pm until summer at a pre-announced location. The events are a series of interviews from a variety of topics with selected entrepreneurial individuals and startups. The catch is that these discussions are as informal
We've been working on Aaltoes development today with the new and former boards of Aaltoes and active team-members. We'd love to have feedback from everyone reading this, so please comment!
The first Aaltoes event for this decade will be a casual networking evening and an opportunity for sharing ideas: Aaltoes Open Mic. We'll bring the same set to every campus, starting from the Aalto University School of Economics. The idea is to have short 2 minute speeches and then have open discussions about them. The
It's been a busy year, and we've achieved a lot so far. Last week Aaltoes reached a new milestone as the new board was elected. With a good mix of skills and a lot of new energy, we're sure you'll be hearing from them soon!
Is one weekend enough to build a product? Surely it's not enough to think through all the details and fine prints but it's definitely enough to get the ball rolling and deliver a first prototype. We guarantee that in some two days, backed up with a skilled team and an inspiring community, you can achieve
Aaltoes was privileged to host Hannu Verkasalo, serial entrepreneur and founder at Zokem Ltd., this Thursday at the Aalto Ventures Park in Otaniemi. This was the first of the Aaltoes Tuli Talk series, a monthly event dedicated to hearing the stories of entrepreneurs with a research background. Antti Aarnio from the Tuli program was on
We have just wrapped up our first week back after the Winter Break. Drinks, pizza and pitching – the very first Aaltoes Open Mic gathered some 40 people to share their ideas and build upon others. Jens Sorensen and Ville Simola opened the event with a brief introduction to Aaltoes and idea generation from Steve
The new Aaltoes.com website has been up and running for some three months now. You know better than anyone else what you want from Aaltoes.com. Give us a hand and tell what you'd like to see on the site in year 2010. Let's get started.
The former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos visited Aalto Ventures Park on Tuesday. Speaking to a crowd of hundreds Mårten underlined the role of failure and long-term perspective.

Last week, the Instytut Ksiazki announced that this year's Transatlantyk Award was to Vlasta Dvořáčková, who translates Polish literature into Czech.
Vlasta Dvořáčková is the most important Czech translator of Czesław Miłosz, Tadeusz Różewicz, Wisława Szymborska, and Zbigniew Herbert. Ever since having studied Polish Literature at Charles University in Prague – in the complex circumstances of a communist state and widespread censorship – she has promoted Polish literature and culture, including authors that were blacklisted. She has performed an invaluable service in her publishing and popularizing of modern Polish poetry, both before and after 1989. Her contribution to the popularization of the classics of Polish literature is also inestimable, as her translations include Jan Andrzej Morsztyn, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Henryk Sienkiewicz and Adam Mickiewicz. Dvořáčková has won the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of Poland. In 2009 she received the translation of the year award from the Czech Translators' Association for her rendering of recent volumes by Wisława Szymborska (Moment, Colon, and Here). She also translates from German and English.
The Transatlantyk is an annual Book Institute award presented for outstanding achievement in the promotion of Polish literature in the world. The Award Chapter selects the winner; it is made up of Ireneusz Kania, Xenia Staroshyelska, Beata Stasińska and Olga Tokarczuk. The head is the Director of the Book Institute. The award includes 10,000 euro and a statue. The winners to date have been: Henryk Bereska (2005), Anders Bodegård (2006), Albrecht Lempp (2007), Xenia Staroshyelska (2008), Biserka Rajčić (2009), and Pietro Marchesani (2010).
The Shortlist for the 2011 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize was announced on Monday and is a really interesting group of six titles:
Visitation by Jenny Erpenbeck, translated by Susan Bernofsky from the German
Kamchatka by Marcelo Figueras, translated by Frank Wynne from the Spanish
The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk, translated by Maureen Freely from the Turkish
I Curse the River of Time by Per Petterson, translated by Charlotte Barslund with Per Petterson from the Norwegian
Red April by Santiago Roncagliolo, translated by Edith Grossman from the Spanish
The Sickness by Alberto Barrera Tyszka, translated by Margaret Jull Costa from the Spanish
For glaringly obvious reasons, the IFFP is one of my favorite annual awards, and is one of the inspirations for the Best Translated Book Award. It's always interesting to see the convergences (and divergences) of the two awards . . .
This year there's quite a bit of overlap: Visitation and I Cures the River of Time were on the 2011 BTBA longlist (and Visitation on the shortlist), and The Museum of Innocence was on the 2010 longlist. Kamchatka is just coming out in the States (more on Figueras later in relation to the PEN World Voices event in Rochester), and The Sickness doesn't seem to have a U.S. publisher. (Although it must . . . Anyone have any info?)
It's impossible guessing a winner, but I think the Erpenbeck has a great chance . . . Anyway, all six are worth checking out, and the winner will be announced on May 26th.
Just received this reminder from Emma Archer:
The Florence Gould Foundation and the French-American Foundation are currently accepting submissions for their Annual Translation Prizes.
This year the foundation will present a $10 000 cash award for the best English translation of French in both fiction and non-fiction.
Translations for consideration must have been published for the first time in the United States between January 1 and December 31, 2009 and must be submitted, accompanied by the French original work by December 31, 2009 (one French copy and one English copy).
All categories of work are eligible in fiction and nonfiction, with the exception of technical, scientific and reference works, and children's literature. The prizes will be announced and presented in the spring of 2010.
All submissions should be sent to:
The French-American Foundation
Translation Prizes
28 West 44th Street, Suite 1420
New York, New York 10036
Each submission must be sent with the corresponding submission form.This form should include required contact information for both French and American publishers (editorial and publicity departments) and for the translator.
Submissions will not be considered without duly filled submission form.
For inquiries, please contact earcher [at] frenchamerican [dot] org.
I'd totally stealing this post from Paper Republic. If it weren't for PR, I think these dates would've passed without my noticing. (Isn't it still the middle of December?)
I'm not exactly sure when this was announced, but the list of the recipients of the FY 2008 NEA Literature Fellowships for Translations is now available online.
The NEA seems to do a consistently great job of supporting interesting projects from worthy translators, and this year is no exception. Among this year's winners are:
Fourteen translators received awards this year in the amount of $10,000 or $20,000. And the link above not only lists all the recipients, but has descriptions of their projects as well . . .
I've heard from very reliable sources that the NEA doesn't receive very many applications for this grant. Which absolutely boggles my mind. Aside from a few special prizes, there is no other grant that American translators can apply for where they can receive more than $10,000 for their work.
Seriously, the next deadline is January 7, 2008, and the application info can be found here.

Ameresco Completes Comprehensive Energy Efficiency Project With Central Michigan's Montcalm Community College
Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, announced today the completion of energy efficiency upgrades to Montcalm Community College (MCC), located in Sidney Township, Michigan. As part of the $1.2 million Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), Ameresco implemented various infrastructure upgrades and energy saving measures across the College's two campuses. The new equipment and energy management system installed will allow the College to save an estimated $129,000 annually over the ten-year contract without the burden of up-front capital investment.
Located in central Michigan between Grand Rapids and Lansing, MCC sought to implement a campus-wide "face lift" in order to enhance its infrastructure and educational environment simultaneously. As part of the partnership, Ameresco installed lighting and HVAC upgrades, an energy management system to increase control over energy consuming systems, as well as vending machine controls and building envelope enhancements to save on annual energy costs.
"Montcalm Community College selected Ameresco as its partner given its extensive track record of working with institutions of higher education," said MCC President Bob Ferrentino. "The work that has been done provided building enhancements which have improved the learning environment and comfort for our students while reducing our energy costs."
Along with energy efficiency enhancements, Ameresco also provided energy efficiency training to staff to help MCC develop campus-wide energy standards. Ameresco collaborated with MCC staff to identify areas of focus and improve the resources available to further the level of training and resulting awareness of energy efficient behaviors by students and faculty."Montcalm Community College has shown real leadership by implementing energy efficient measures campus-wide, and we are proud to partner with them to reach their sustainability goals," said Louis P. Maltezos, executive vice president of Ameresco. "We have a history of working with academic institutions in Michigan and across North America, and we have found that implementing energy saving measures through a budget-neutral ESPC model enable institutions such as MCC to reinvest back into programs that will have a direct benefit to students, faculty and the broader community."
