Society6 'Whiteout' zine contributions must be posted by Friday, July 1
We'll first begin curating the contributions for the zine itself, and later the accompanying collection that will be featured in the Society6 Shop.
Some things to keep in mind when creating your work:
1. Create your piece and post it to your Studio at anytime, but by no later than Friday, July 1st to be considered for the zine and the collection.
2. Please use the title of your work as the title of your post AND please use the word "WHITEOUT" in the description of your post (even if that is the entire description)
3. The pages of the zine will intentionally be printed black and white only. We will likely be using a natural color paper stock, not bright white. The final dimensions of the book will be approximately 5.5" x 8.5" (with some spreads available to accommodate works).
You will be notified via email for inclusion in the zine, and separately via email if your piece is added to the collection.
About Whiteout:
A short-run art publication. Whiteout is a condition of diffuse light in which visibility and contrast are severely reduced and there are no reference points at all, leaving the individual with a distorted orientation.

Photek: the last samurai
- Arguably jungle's greatest ever producer is back. It's time for a catch up.
8 Mar 2011 -
Photek – 'Avalanche' (2010)
Later in your career you graduated to a sort of "samurai" style on tunes like 'Seven Samurai' and 'Ni Ten Ichi Ryu', characterized by percussive tracks that sounded like clashing swords and stealthy combat. Where did that idea come from and where did you get those percussive sounds?
"Some of the sounds, I made, some of them were different noises misrepresented. Like a weird texture running through a delay and then re-sampled, that to my mind sounded like in a [legendary Japanese film director] Akira Kurosawa movie when hundreds of samurai are moving in wooden armour and you've got that rattling and shuffling, and I'd make that out of something else to imitate that sound. Like what blues players used to do, to imitate a chugging train, play a riff that sounds like that.
"In 'Fifth Column', there's the sound of a shuriken throwing star. I made that out of actually flicking one off my fingers, to get that 'ching!' metallic sound. But to get the sound of one flying, they don't actually sound like that when they fly, but it's like in the movies, you have to make the wrong sound to actually get the point across. To make that sound, I got a bicycle break cable, and whirled it around a bit to make that noise, and then I sampled it hundreds of times and put it in a sampler and played it back really fast so it goes 'whipwhipwhoopwhup [shuriken star noise]' (laughs). That's why my records took so long to make, cos I was doing crazy stuff like that.
"That's what I like about Flying Lotus and that kind of thing, it reminds me of what I was doing then."
Another thing you share with Flying Lotus is that interest in the East, an appreciation of Far Eastern culture, Japan in particular. Is that something that also still fascinates you?
"I'm not doing martial arts like I used to. I just do not have the time anymore, but it's something that always appeals to me. At some point I had to get off it musically, like how many times can you do a complex beat arrangement that reflects combat in some way? I just want to hear 'Energy Flash' by Joey Beltram! It became no longer dance music, more a demonstration of technique. I think it goes along with specializing for a while and then diversifying for a while. It's something that will never go away, I still love Eastern aesthetics, and something of the mastering of a craft or a skill still appeals. I like stuff in life where it's the best of what it can be."
Would you say that's tipped over into obsession at times? Listening to those tracks, there's an intricacy to them that sounds like you spent a hell of a lot of time crafting them…
"It's a bit Bonsai, isn't it? I've been growing this in a plant pot for 40 years, whaddya think? [laughs] How obsessive do you want to be? Like, this one is as close to perfect as I can think of it being. The funny thing is that when I met Teebee, he had the same mentality, he had a martial arts background. He was also a complete lunatic in the studio, you were there with your eyes watering cos you weren't blinking, working 72 hours straight, with tea and cigarettes. How do you get through that? I don't think it's sustainable for too long. You can do that for several years of your life but at some point you need a break from it."
When did you move to LA and what necessitated the move there?
"I came out here in 2001 and 'Solaris' had just come out. I was touring and I got asked to do a score for Paramount Pictures. I rented a house and came back a few months later. I was living half in London and half here. After a year and a half of that, you're spending so much time in airports or on a plane, living in two cities 11 hours apart, at some point, you've just gotta choose where you're gonna live.
"The movie was called Invincible. It was a tv pilot, an hour-long episode. It was a co-production between Jet Li and Mel Gibson, starring Billy Zane and it was a Matrix-type martial arts, futuristic kind of thing. It was the first thing I'd done in that area and it got me out here, and after a while the weather makes so much difference, getting up everyday in flip-flops and shorts, without having to worry about surviving, after a certain point, you're like, you know what? It's a pretty good place to live.
"I'm in Studio City now but I've lived all over the place. I started off in the Hollywood Hills, then Malibu, then Santa Monica, then Bel Air. You graduate, you live in all the exciting, glamorous places and then after a while, you're like you know what? This is more convenient for traffic, I need to be out of the city but close to it. And I think I'll stay in that area for a while."
"At some point I had to get off it musically, like how many times can you do a complex beat arrangement that reflects combat in some way? I just want to hear 'Energy Flash'!"
How does it differ to somewhere like London?
"It's a pretty unique place. It feels like it's the centre of the world, but it's not even a proper city. Apart from the film business, what impact does it really have? It's not London or Tokyo, it's LA, this weird place on the edge of the map. There's so much media output from here that it makes its mark in a really weird way on the world. From TV to trash to Hollywood movies, it's all coming out of here, yet LA doesn't really participate in the rest of the world. But very convenient. It's very slow, if you come from London, you can't believe how slow it is. Even New York feels a little slower than London. Then you get to LA and you don't feel like part of civilization anymore, you can sit out in the garden all day and forget you're in a major city. It's unique."
Was working on movie soundtracks a natural evolution?
"People always said, 'Your music is really filmic', and I thought I should be doing the next Michael Mann movie. And once you get out here and into it, you realize it's a whole industry in itself, you don't just slip in and out of it, you better start earning your stripes now if you want to be doing those movies in a few years time. You realize there's a lot of politics, and a lot of groundwork to be done in scoring a movie, and it's incredibly demanding. I'd love to be doing a Michael Mann hit movie but I'm not sure if I'm prepared to put my record making career on hold to do that.
"I've learned so much from doing it. For a start, I work a lot quicker than I used to. I did one TV series called Platinum and it was five hours of music in 12 days. So four or five albums in 12 days. You've also got someone correcting everything you do at the same time, so five episodes takes a whole afternoon to watch, so that's one of your days already. You don't even have time, you just have to hit play on the picture and start banging the keyboard, and you better hope that you're inspired every minute of the day, otherwise you're gonna find yourself in a lot of trouble."
"After making a load of Photek records I'll probably think, 'Isn't it easier to stay in LA and work on a load of film music?' but for the time being I'm really excited about what I'm doing. I'm not up for discussing with executives about how it needs to sound more like Moby, y'know?"
What do you think of some of the contemporary scorers, people like Clint Mansell who's scored Moon and Black Swan among others?
"He's great, guys like Harry Gregson Williams, he's always got his eye on what's happening in the rest of dance music. I worked with him briefly and he's worked with Hybrid a lot. His score for Spygame, was amazing, and then you've got John Powell, both of them are out of the Hans Zimmer school of film career. They both started out as ghost writers or assistants or back-up guys. They set up their own empires after that. And Cliff Martinez, the Traffic score, amazing."
What film projects have you got coming up?
"I'm really not doing anything film-related at the moment. I'd like to come back to that at some stage. After making a load of Photek records I'll probably think, 'Isn't it easier to stay in LA and work on a load of film music?' but for the time being I'm really excited about what I'm doing. I'm not up for discussing with executives about how it needs to sound more like Moby, y'know?"
Is there a Photek album or more EPs on the way?
"There's going to be more EPs, and what we decided on — we being me and my new management, who are absolutely fantastic, they've really helped me get it together and are a big reason why you're hearing all this music — let's do a series of EPs where the best content can be cherry-picked for an album at the end of that series. I can fill in the gaps with other tracks that make it sound like an album, cos an album should sound like one, not just a compilation.
"The next thing that's coming out will be in June, and at the end of March there'll be a '101' Boddika remix, and there's some other exciting mixes I'm expecting back from people, and then I've got a release coming out on Tectonic called 'Closer'. It was going to be part of the EPs, but then Pinch was really into it. And then a few more remixes, I just finished one for Daft Punk, of 'End Of the Line', off the soundtrack for Tron Legacy. I've also remixed Distance's 'Falling' and Jess Mills. Not Jeff Mills, but that would also be nice! And Ray Lamontagne, so I've been busy."

Many people wonder, "How much will Walmart pay for a slip and fall injury?" Perhaps these poor people have suffered a minor slip in the store or a major slip which resulted in a surgery of some sort. Some people have even suffered head injuries due to a severe fall.
Unfortunately, filing claims against Walmart for a slip and fall injury can be a hassle. Many people making claims against Walmart have had to hire an attorney, pay exorbitant legal fees, and end up with a very small settlement or even worse no settlement.
There are a few steps one should take, in order to get organized before pursuing claims against Walmart. First, one should consider the liability within the situation. What was on the floor and how long was it there? Was water on the floor and why did Walmart fail to clean it up? Were there widespread puddles of water throughout the store? The main thing you are going to want to prove is that Walmart was negligent in some way as the owner or operator of the property.
It is also valuable to examine any basic defenses Walmart could bring up. They may claim that one should have been able to see a puddle in view before walking into it. Or, they may blame weather conditions for causing flooding of the building. For many of these arguments, you can be rest assured knowing that there are counter-arguments to defeat these.
It is a good idea to do your own fact collecting around the store. Bring a cell phone and snap a few pictures of the puddle, if you are still at the location. Or, you may want to go back to the store and take pictures of any attention grabbing display areas in the location. This can help prove that the Walmart ads were very distracting for you as you were walking down an aisle and slipped. It is incredibly important for you to have pictures of the dangerous location, since these may come up as evidence at court.
It is also a good idea to refrain from speaking with an insurance adjuster until you have went over the details of your case with an attorney. An insurance adjuster will try to get you to settle for a certain amount of money when you are actually eligible for more financial compensation.
It is in your best interest to heed some of this advice, if you are considering filing a slip and fall claim against Walmart and other department stores like it. Be organized and you will increase your likelihood of success.

Top 10 Most Memorable
Emmys Looks
What better way to make a memorable red carpet moment than striking a killer pose in a low-cut, high-glam, red-hot gown? "This definitely was Blake Lively's va-va-voom moment. The cleavage, the hair…it took her to another level. She doesn't use a stylist; she thinks about what she's going to wear and actually puts time into the head to toe look," says Giuliana Rancic, E! red carpet fixture and spokesperson for DDF, to get her expert opinion on the celebrities' get-ups.

Lea Michele wore this stunning Oscar de la Renta gown to the 2010 Emmys. "This was one of my favorite looks," Rancic says, "I thought Lea Michele looked gorgeous in this gown. She really stepped it up and set herself apart from her castmates. This dress says 'I am the star of Glee.' Physically, we don't pay attention to darker dresses–it's always that pop of color we look for. The colored dresses always end up on the Best Dressed list. So for a darker dress, this was just fabulous."

Jennifer Aniston wore this beaded Chanel column with beachy waves (and hottest accessory of the night: Brad Pitt) in 2004. "This was almost 10 years ago, and you could wear it all today," Giuliana Rancic points out. "It feels very like a model would wear this–like a Gisele Bundchen. Underneath this dress, you know there's this unbelievable, tight little figure. Jennifer Aniston doesn't feel the need to constantly show that. It's just flowy, completely simple and easy. Women at home looked at her and thought, 'I could do that look.'"

When January Jones walked the 2010 Emmys red carpet in this Versace number, we were less than impressed. Rancic, however, saw the Mad Men star's blue dress as a well-played fashion risk: "I was obsessed with this dress. People who love fashion like this dress. What really does the trick is the fact that she kept everything else so simple: Hair, makeup, jewelry. This was in an era where a lot of people were doing the mullet dress, and it rarely works. Here, it does. The dress was the work of art that spoke for itself. "

The dapper twosome walk the red carpet at the 2010 Emmys. "They're always together, and they just have such a great relationship. You can see it in this picture, and you can see it on the red carpet. Jon Hamm is my favorite male on the red carpet; he puts an effort into it. We love men with that Old Hollywood glamour look. He's a throwback to Cary Grant and Clark Gable. Hamm sticks to the classics and always looks incredible." Note: We're incredibly jealous that Giuliana Rancic has met Jon Hamm.

At the 1999 Emmys, Sarah Michelle Gellar's aqua gown let everyone know that the former soap star had arrived as a primetime television presence. "It's a pretty dress. The color and the slit are a little sexier for her. It's sexy and simple," Rancic says.

After taking a break from acting to have a son, Keri Russell returned to television and the red carpet in 2010. Her stunning, flirty Vintage Scherrer dress from Decades reminded us what a style star Russell is. Rancic agrees: "This dress is so feminine, and it goes with her delicate features and pale skin. These flowy looks definitely work the best on her. She looks so simple and effortless. She's not trying at all, but she got noted for her super-feminine and pretty look."
Try on Keri Russell's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
We agree 100% with Giuliana Rancic's assessment of Padma Lakshmi's Badgley Mischka gown at the 2009 Emmys: "It looks like there's a bit of a growth happening here. It's very unflattering. She's a beautiful women–tall, statuesque, gorgeous. That rose embellishment just doesn't work at all. If you took that off and got rid of the accents on the sleeve, it would be great. It ruined her figure."
Try on Emmys hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
Sarah Jessica Parker decided to go to the 2000 Emmys as her Sex and the City alter ego Carrie Bradshaw. This Oscar de la Renta gown not only has feathers dripping off the skirt, but SJP accessorized it with a large flower armband. Rancic's verdict? "Too ballerina-esque. It's so hard because for me, SJP can do no wrong. If she showed up in something that we all thought was pretty and easy, it wouldn't feel right. She can't show up in something safe because she takes so many risks."
Try on Sarah Jessica Parker's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
This politically-charged ensemble Victoria Rowell wore to the 2009 Emmys definitely raised a few eyebrows. "Silly. Gorgeous girl, but there's just no need for this. if you want to talk politics, go sit down with Bill Maher. The Emmys red carpet isn't really the place for it. This is something that tries to get shock value, but really gets eye rolls," Rancic says.

Vulvar Bumps/Cysts
Vulvar Bumps/Cysts
Bumps and cysts on the vulva can present in many different forms and can mean many different things. This article is an overview of the most common types of vulvar bumps and cysts. As always, see your health care professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Contents |
What causes vulvar bumps/cysts?
There are many causes for vulvar bumps and cysts, and depending on how they present, the resulting conditions can be anywhere from harmless (Fordyce spots) to serious (HPV). As Dr. Trisha Macnair and BBC Health note, "There are many reasons why lumps and bumps can form in the area of the vulva (the outer, visible skin folds of the female genital tract) and the vagina (the internal muscular passage), and most of these are relatively harmless."
Dr. Frederick R. Jelovsek elaborates: "There are several skin structures on the vulva that can become infected or grow into nodules and bumps that can be quite irritating. As with any skin, there are hair follicles, sweat glands and other skin glands such as Bartholin glands, and vestibule glands. Infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria can cause skin lumps as well."
Below is a list of the most common types of bumps and cysts found on the vulva (it is by no means comprehensive).
Most Common Types of Vulvar Bumps/Cysts:
Fordyce's Spots
Named after American dermatologist John Addison Fordyce, Fordyce's spots are small, painless, raised, white or pale spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the labia, as well as the inner surface and vermilion border of the lips of the face. They are common women at any age (NOTE: men also commonly experience Fordyce's spots on the penis).
They are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a totally natural occurrence on the body. This PubMed article tells us that Fordyce spots are extremely common in adults.
USC notes that once Fordyce's spots are diagnosed, no treatment is necessary.

Bartholin's Cysts
What are Bartholin's cysts?
The U of Michigan Health System says that "a Bartholin's gland cyst is a fluid-filled swelling of a Bartholin's gland. Bartholin's glands are two small glands on each side of the opening of the vagina (birth canal). These glands are called Bartholin's glands. They each have a small duct (tube) that opens to the outside. The glands produce a fluid that helps protect the tissues around the vagina and provides lubrication during sexual intercourse. Normally these glands cannot be felt or seen. A cyst may develop when the duct of one of the glands becomes swollen and blocked. Injury, irritation, or infection may cause a buildup of fluid and swelling that blocks the duct."
Here is a list of the most common symptoms women experience with Bartholin's cysts:
Symptoms of Bartholin's Cysts:
Make an appointment to see your health care provider. S/he will ask about your symptoms and will examine your vulva and vagina to look for a swollen area at the vaginal opening. The swelling will be diagnosed as a cyst if it is not painful. If it is painful and infected, it is called a Bartholin's gland abscess.
How are Bartholin's cysts treated? This list from the University of Michigan offers the following alternatives:
Treatment Options for Bartholin's Cysts:
How do I know when it's time to call my health care provider?
Call your health care provider if you have any of these signs of infection:
Call Your Health Care Provider Upon Experiencing:
How can I help prevent a Bartholin's gland cyst?
The University of Michigan offers the following preventative measures:
How to Prevent Bartholin's Cysts:
Nabothian Cysts
Okay, so these aren't quite vulvar. Natbothian cysts are basically tiny little bumps on your cervix. As the National Library of Medicine explains:
The cervical canal is lined by glandular cells that normally secrete mucus. These endocervical glands can become covered by squamous epithelium in a process called metaplasia.
These nests of glandular cells (nabothian glands) on the cervix may become filled with secretions. As secretions accumulate, a smooth, rounded lump may form just under the surface of the cervix and become large enough to be seen or felt upon examination.
Each cyst appears as a small, white, pimple-like elevation. They can occur singly or in groups, and they are not a threat to health. The cysts are more common in women of reproductive age, especially those who have already had children.
Nabothian cysts are not harmful and generally do not require treatment.
Sebaceous Cysts
As MedLinePlus notes, a sebaceous cyst is a (benign) closed sac found just under the skin containing pasty- or cheesy-looking skin secretions. They most often arise from swollen hair follicles, or as a result of skin trauma. What actually happens is that a sac of cells is created into which a protein called keratin is secreted.
In most cases, your physician can diagnose a cyst based on its appearance. Occasionally, a biopsy may be needed to rule out other conditions with a similar appearance.
Sebaceous cysts are not dangerous and can usually be ignored. At times, they may become inflamed and tender. Others may grow large and interfere with day-to-day life. In these cases, you can have them surgically removed in a physician's office.
Call your health care provider if you notice any new growths on your body. Though cysts are not dangerous, your doctor should examine you to ensure that you're not mistaking what you see for a more serious condition.
Ingrown Hairs/Folliculitis
MedLinePlus says that folliculitis kicks in when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle or shaving. It usually results in the development of a pimple or cyst on the skin's surface and generally produces less discomfort than sebaceous cysts.
Ingrown hairs can often appear around the vulva from shaving and other types of hair removal processes. Check out this Vulvapedia article on how to prevent shaving-induced ingrown hairs.
A diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin. The skin infection is shallow, superficial and benign. You may want to get an initial diagnosis to make sure what you're dealing with is really an ingrown hair and not a more serious condition.
Herpes (HSV-1/HSV-2)
Herpes (or Herpes Simplex Virus) is a common and usually mild infection that can cause "cold sores" or "fever blisters" on the mouth or face (known as "oral herpes") and similar symptoms in the genital area ("genital herpes"). There are two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV): HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a common condition. There are about 100 different types of HPV which affect various parts of the body in different ways. Most common warts, like plantar warts and butcher's warts, are caused by strains of HPV. Around 30 strains of HPV are sexually transmitted.
Sexually-transmitted strains of HPV are generally classified as either "high risk" or "low risk." Low-risk strains of HPV are most commonly associated with genital warts, while high-risk strains are associated with cervical dysplasia and, in rare cases, cervical cancer.
As the CDC explains, "Genital warts [the most well-known ailment caused by HPV] usually appear as soft, moist, pink, or flesh-colored swellings, usually in the genital area. They can be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large, and sometimes cauliflower shaped. They can appear on the vulva, in or around the vagina or anus, on the cervix, and on the penis, scrotum, groin, or thigh. After sexual contact with an infected person, warts may appear within weeks or months, or not at all."

I planted a bare-root Methley plum 2 yr ago, and it has grown vigorously to approximately 6-7 ft tall. This is the third spring it's leafed out, and it still hasn't put out so much as one flower, much less any fruit. A Toka plum I planted this spring as a bare-root tree actually put out half a dozen blossoms already.
So, is it normal that Methley plums are slow to flower and fruit, or is there something wrong with my tree? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's too young to worry about this. |
Plums are slow, wait for year 3 or 4 to get a couple of plums. Year 5 or 6 for a lot of plums. It will change a bit depending on rootstock. For quicker results peaches are faster. |

I've been seeing a lot of black and brown tiny bugs on the stems and underside of the leaves of my green beans. Plants seem to be yellowing a bit. We have had a string of cold nights late into the season. Just this morning it was 39 now it's 65. I'm not sure if that has something to do with the little boogers on my plants or not. There are a few of the bugs on my Pintos. I'd like them to be gone ! |

Video Card
Checking out the card itself, it's clear we're dealing with a new cooler. The fan has been moved directly over the top of the core and if you look carefully, you can see the aluminum fins on the heatsink and a number of copper heat pipes coming out the top of the card.
There's not a whole lot of branding on the cooler actually. We've got a Sapphire sticker in the middle, but apart from that we've got a blue and black color scheme going on with the cooler which is something a little new. Hopefully it cools as well as it looks; only time will tell for sure.
A quick spin around the card doesn't show any surprises. At the back of the card power is supplied with the help of two PCI-E 6 Pin power connectors. Moving across the top of the card and closer to the front, we've got our two CrossFire connectors which give us the ability to run up to three of these.
In the I/O department we've got two Dual-Link DVI connectors, a single HDMI port and a single DisplayPort. You can see we've also got a little bit of an air vent in the top left corner which lets some of the hot air escape.
As we mentioned already, being part of the TOXIC series not only means that the card gets a fancy new cooler, but also a bump in clock speeds. Having a look below, you can see the new clock speeds that Sapphire offers while also seeing what the stock ones are.
We can see that the core has gone from 725MHz to 765MHz, while the memory has moved from 1000MHz or 4000MHz QDR to a more impressive 4500MHz QDR. This is a nice little bump in clock speeds and should yield some good performance numbers.

Palestine & Israel: The context the media misses on the history of a true struggle
The seeds of conflict between Israel and Palestine were planted decades ago, and now have grown into a continuing conflict over a territory between these two groups. This conflict has been warranted by competing ideologies and unjustified by bloodshed, rather than withering away through compromise.
To look past the recent week-long conflict, which has now had an agreed cease-fire agreement, it now requires looking back at the basics of the conflict between Israel and Palestine over the past several decades.
The Dershowitz tactic: Ignoring reality
By Tarek Khalil
Professor Dershowitz,
I read your recent article regarding the recent flare up between Israel and Hamas. The tone, language, and overall argument are not only misplaced, but lack contextualization. Therefore, either you purposefully and willfully ignored history, or you just don't know it. You stated that "In order to maximize their own civilian casualties, and thereby earn the sympathy of the international community and media, Hamas leaders deliberately fire their rockets from densely populated civilian areas."
Let's privy ourselves to the facts as they exist on earth and not concoct a picture with misleading facts.
The media's Israeli-Palestinian fable
By Dima Ansari
In light of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, major news networks like BBC and the New York Times have really outdone themselves in trying to report the "truth" of the events as they unraveled–that is, if you consider a grossly incomplete narrative to be the "truth."

Thomas Dale High School senior Ka'lia Johnson was 2 years old when she first began bouncing a basketball. Recently, her love and passion for the game, along with her focus on academics, gave her reason to celebrate, as, surrounded by family, friends and mentors, she signed a letter of intent to play Division-I basketball for Duke University next winter.
Johnson, a varsity player, is ranked nationally as one of the 10 best players in the Class of 2011. She credits her mom and dad, Keshia and Kenneth Johnson, and her brother, Jay, with teaching her everything she knows about basketball and life.
In making her final decision, Johnson made a list of negatives and positives for each school she visited. After visiting Duke, she said, she only found positives.
"The coaching staff and players were really helpful," she said. "I made a list of positive and negatives and after I visited Duke I saw that I had about 20 positive things and no negatives, that's when I knew." Johnson added that she had other schools she liked, but she wanted to go some place that was close to her family and a place where her family could come to see her play.
Johnson, ranked as one of the top scorers in the Central Region and the state with an average of 24 points per game, has been the foundation of the team, girls' basketball head coach Kevin Coffey said.
"Ka'lia has pretty much been the foundation of the team," he said. "She has done a good job putting in the work, a good job making adjustments coming out of middle school to high school and her hard work is paying off. It is a great achievement."

And over 2 million unique readers monthly!
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry 'Weep! weep! weep! weep!'
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head,
That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved; so I said,
'Hush, Tom! never mind it, for, when your head's bare,
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.'And so he was quiet, and that very night,
As Tom was a-sleeping, he had such a sight! -
That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, and Jack,
Were all of them locked up in coffins of black.And by came an angel, who had a bright key,
And he opened the coffins, and set them all free;
Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing, they run
And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.Then naked and white, all their bags left behind,
They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind:
And the angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy,
He'd have God for his father, and never want joy.And so Tom awoke, and we rose in the dark,
And got with our bags and our brushes to work.
Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm:
So, if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.

Selling to stores the easy way
It's a fact: Small retailers just don't have the buying power of big retail chains. So, to compete more effectively, they often enlist the services of resident buying offices, which help in purchasing products economically so small retailers can be somewhat cost-competitive with mass merchandisers. Resident buying offices present a good sales opportunity for inventors and small manufacturers because they can sell to many stores through just one buying location. The resident buying offices also look out for innovative products that aren't yet available at the big discount chains.
For the names of some resident buying offices, check out these directories at major libraries (all the following are published by Business Guides Inc.):
- Sheldon's Major Stores & Chains & Resident Buying Offices
- The Directory of Apparel Specialty Stores
- The Directory of Drug Stores and HBC Chains
- The Directory of Supermarket, Grocery & Convenience Store Chains
- The Directory of Home Center Operators & Hardware Chains.

Press Releases
Jerry Walsh |
Chicago, IL – According to a new study by BDO USA, LLP, one of the nation's leading accounting and consulting organizations, less than one-third (27%) of public company board members believe the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's (PCAOB) proposed changes to the annual auditor's report will actually improve the usefulness of the report. Conversely, almost half (45%) of the directors say the changes will not improve the auditor's report, while more than a quarter (28%) aren't sure.
When asked about specific components of the PCAOB's proposal, more than three-quarters (78%) of board members are in favor of the report disclosing the length of the external auditor's tenure in the report. However, more than two-thirds (67%) of board members are opposed to the auditor's report evaluating information beyond the financial statements for potential errors or misstatements that conflict with information obtained during the audit. A smaller majority (52%) is opposed to the report containing a discussion of critical audit matters that gave the auditor the most difficulty in forming its audit opinion.
"Clearly, corporate board members aren't sold on the usefulness of the PCAOB's proposal to require external auditors to include much more detailed information in the annual auditor's report that accompanies a business's financial statements. However, when you make changes to something that has been done the same way for more than 70 years, there is bound to be some pushback," said Lee Graul, a Partner in the Corporate Governance Practice of BDO USA.
Social Disclosures
Close to two-thirds (64%) of corporate directors are aware of the new SEC rule that allows companies to disclose material information through postings on social media, but none indicate that their companies have utilized this new channel to do so and only 11 percent anticipate utilizing social media for material disclosures in the future.
Time Management
When asked what topics they would like to spend more or less of their time on, close to half of the board members cite succession planning (47%) and studying industry competitors (45%) as areas they would like to spend more time. Risk management (38%) and evaluating management performance (32%) were the other areas where sizable percentages expressed an interest in spending more time. Perhaps more revealing is how few of these directors expressed a desire to spend less time on any of these areas, with the possible exception of compliance and regulatory issues. See chart below:
Topic | More | Less | Same |
Succession planning | 47% | 5% | 47% |
Industry competitors | 45% | 5% | 50% |
Risk management | 38% | 1% | 61% |
Evaluating management | 32% | ------ | 68% |
Compliance and regulatory issues | 16% | 20% | 64% |
Executive compensation | 8% | 8% | 84% |
More than two-thirds (69%) of public company board members cite regulatory/compliance overload as the greatest risk facing their businesses. Cyber breaches (13%), fraud/corruption (9%), privacy violations (6%) and intellectual property misappropriation (3%) are cited by far smaller percentages of the directors.
When asked to identify the greatest risk for fraud at their companies, a large proportion of the directors cite embezzlement or similar crimes against the company (42%). Corruption/bribery (20%), earnings management (18%), insider trading (12%) and revenue recognition (8%) are cited by smaller proportions.
A majority (55%) of board members say they have increased their company's anti-fraud and anti-corruption resources in the past year. When asked where they have devoted the greatest percentage of those increased resources, almost half (46%) cite training and more than a third (35%) cite personnel. Smaller proportions cite technology (14%) and the use of external consultants (5%).
"It is not surprising to see that companies are dealing with regulatory overload. The financial services sector, in particular, has been dealing with new regulations in both the U.S. and the E.U." said Glenn Pomerantz, Partner in Charge of Global Forensics at BDO Consulting. "The directors' focus on training and education to improve compliance and reduce fraud is certainly positive news. Many of the companies we work with perform a comprehensive risk assessment addressing fraud and corruption. The risk assessment results often guide the company towards additional and more strategic training and education. By proactively conducting independent risk assessments, businesses can greatly enhance their risk mitigation efforts."
Just 11% of board members say their company has experienced a cyber breach during the past two years. Nevertheless, cyber security has been a regular topic in the media and corporate directors appear to be paying attention. Close to half (47%) of directors say they have completed documenting all of the critical cyber assets of their company and a similar percentage (45%) say they are currently in the process of identifying their critical cyber assets. Just 9 percent indicate they have taken no steps to identify these critical assets.
When asked about specific steps their businesses have taken to mitigate cyber security risks, almost all (98%) of the board members indicate they have implemented technology to safeguard the company. Approximately half of the directors say they hired cyber security consultants to either advise on risk areas (56%) or supplement IT procedures (49%). A similar percentage (48%) indicate they formed a risk committee to create cyber policies/procedures. Just 18% say they have purchased cyber insurance to cover potential losses from cyber crime.
A majority (56%) of the directors say their company conducts business in foreign locations or with foreign customers or suppliers. Of those conducting business internationally, a majority (55%) indicate that they deal with foreign government officials and better than one-third (38%) of those believe compliance risks related to bribery of foreign officials have increased over the past two years, compared to just 10 percent reporting a decrease.
When asked to identify what is the most effective tool businesses can use to mitigate corruption risks in foreign markets, almost two-thirds (65%) of the directors cite improved training and education of employees. Increased testing of transactions (16%), expanded board oversight (8%), a change in business model (8%) and revamped policies and procedures (8%) are other measures cited by the directors.
In recent years, CEO compensation has become increasingly tied to equity in order to link pay to performance and align CEOs with shareholders. However, given the sensational performance of the stock market in 2013, one-third (34%) of public company board members are concerned that this focus on equity is leading to a growing gap in compensation between the CEO and other members of the management team. Of those expressing this concern, a majority (56%) believe the most approach to address the gap is to expand equity-based compensation to more members of the management team, while one-third (33%) suggest moving a larger portion of CEO compensation back to traditional, long-term cash or annual cash incentive programs. Few (11%) suggest re-introducing executive perquisites back into the compensation mix for key employees.
"The concern with the gap in compensation between the CEO and other members of management is a subject we are increasingly being asked to address by clients," said Randy Ramirez, a Senior Director on Compensation in the Corporate Governance Practice of BDO USA. "Given the ongoing increase in equity markets and the SEC's current proposal to require companies to disclose the ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay, this issue is only going to get bigger. Boards must decide whether they want to close the gap by expanding equity pay to other members of management, moving more CEO compensation back to traditional compensation or a combination of both of these strategies."
When asked what performance measurement they consider the best substitute for at least a portion of equity-linked pay, board members cite profit growth (39%) and free cash flow (24%) as the most likely substitutes. Operational efficiency (18%), revenue growth (14%) and market share (6%) are the other alternative measurements cited by the directors.
In a related area, the vast majority (82%) of board members at public companies believe proxy advisory firms should be subject to SEC oversight due to the potential for a conflict of interest in providing services to both corporations and institutional shareholders.
These are the findings of The 2013 BDO Board Survey, conducted by the Corporate Governance Practice of BDO USA, which examined the opinions of 74 corporate directors of public company boards, with revenues ranging from $250 million to $750 million, regarding financial reporting and corporate governance issues. The survey was conducted in September of 2013 by Market Measurement, an independent market research firm, on behalf of BDO.
BDO USA's Corporate Governance Practice is a valued business advisor to corporate boards. The firm works with a wide variety of clients, ranging from entrepreneurial businesses to multinational Fortune 500 corporations, on a myriad of accounting, tax, risk management and forensic investigation issues.

LOS ANGELES and SAN FRANCISCO - Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, and Common Sense Media, the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving the media and technology experience for kids and families, have formed an editorial partnership to help parents make great - and age-appropriate - movie choices for their families. Beginning today, millions of Fandango users can find Common Sense Media movie reviews for thousands of new releases and DVDs at Fandango.
Parents can find Common Sense reviews in both the movies and DVDs sections on the Critics Reviews page for each film. The Common Sense ON, IFFY, or OFF button - along with a traditional 5-star review - will be featured at the top of each Critics Reviews page. By clicking "Information for Parents," users will be taken to the full Common Sense review at the bottom of the page, featuring the Decider Slider®, What Parents Need to Know, and a breakdown of the movie's content, from violence and sex to role models and messages.
Based on childhood development criteria, Common Sense Media's ratings system helps parents make decisions about which movies, video games, TV shows, websites, books, and music are right for their families. The Common Sense ratings information complements traditional ratings services with more detailed, easy-to-understand information.
"As parents, we need to be selective about our kids' entertainment choices, and Common Sense Media provides Fandango with easy-to-read consumer reviews especially tailored for parents," said Jessica Yi, vice president of product development for Fandango. "At Fandango, we're constantly looking at ways to enhance the user experience. Common Sense Media helps us add authoritative, trustworthy, family-friendly information that complements our own user reviews and ratings, trailers, and showtimes and ticketing information - so that everything you need to make your movie-going decision is all in one place."
"Today's parents have such a great need for information about what their kids are watching or playing, and they need it right at their fingertips," Anne Zehren, president and COO of Common Sense Media. "Our Common Sense reviews are designed to empower parents with the tools and information they need to help kids get the best -- and avoid the worst -- of media and entertainment. Now that our detailed reviews are available at Fandango -- the go-to site for millions of busy parents looking to relax with their kids in front of a movie at the end of a long week -- it's even easier for parents to make smart choices, and pick movies that truly reflect their own, personal values."

UPDATE: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will take over for Megan Fox. It's all up to the negotiations now.

Gary Oldman, Michelle Yeoh, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Victor Garber will lend their voices to Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom, which is now slated to hit theaters on May 27, 2011 instead of June 3, 2011.
Oldman will be playing into what he does best by voicing a new villain. As for Van Damme, landing this gig represents another step in what is shaping up to be a sizable comeback. The action star will also be starring in a fourth installment of the Universal Soldier series.
Kung Fu Panda could easily turn into the next lucrative series for Paramount/DreamWorks Animation now that the Shrek property has run out of steam. The first Kung Fu Panda film grossed more than $630 million worldwide, and the sequel could easily top that thanks to the fact that it's in 3D.

Midwest Living Review
In 2008, eight feet of water flooded the riverfront National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library. Four years later, in summer 2012, the museum reopened—after being moved uphill, restored and expanded.
It's now three times larger and features both permanent and temporary exhibits. An imposing 1,000-piece chandelier hangs in the entryway (it's a Czech custom for newlyweds to kiss under it). The extensive textile collection includes beautiful Czech and Slovak folk costumes; you can also see an exhibit about textiles damaged in the flood and restored. Outside the main building, tour the restored Slager family immigrant home, built between 1884 and 1889.
The museum complex includes a store featuring imported glass from the Czech Republic, a library, a theater, and an outdoor amphitheatre that hosts music and dance events.

[222] Conservative Surgery for Breast Cancer: Comparison of Two Surgical Techniques To Obtain Negative Margins
Jessica Niakan, Susan Fineberg. Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY
Background: Margin status is the most important determinant of local recurrence after breast conservatiive surgery for breast cancer (BC). Literature suggests that lumpectomy with separate cavity margins (CM technique) reduces positive margin rate (mr) compared to lumpectomy alone. Another technique, which includes intraoperative inking and gross margin assessment of a lumpectomy with the addition of intraoperative excision of grossly close margins (LM technique) also reduces the positive mr compared to lumpectomy alone. We compare these two methods (CM vs LM) for margin status, volume of tissue and slide production.
Design: We searched pathology data from the Medical Center from 2010 to July 2011 for cases of BC removed using the CM or the LM techniques. In the CM technique a unoriented lumpectomy is received along with 4 separate margins designated medial, lateral, inferior and superior. Anterior and deep margins are received in some cases. In the LM technique a oriented lumpectomy specimen is inked and sectioned intraoperatively by the pathologist alongside the surgeon. Additional margins are taken if a grossly close margin is identifed. We identified 161 cases with 82 cases included in the CM technique (49 invasive and 33 DCIS) and 79 cases in the LM technique (49 invasive and 30 DCIS). We compared margin status, volume of tissue and slide production. A positive margin was defined as less than 2mm. Anterior and deep margins were not considered in the analysis.
Results: In the CM group, a positive margin was present in 20 of 82 cases (24%). In the LM group a positive margin was present in 15 of 79 cases (19%) (p=0.44). The positive mr for invasive BC was 16% for LM technique and 18% for CM technique. The positive mr for DCIS was 23% for the LM technique and 33% for the CM technique. Gross intraoperative examinatoin of margins in LM cases resulted in additional separate margins being obtained intraoperatively in 17 of 79 cases. The average volume of tissue excised for CM was 100 cm3 and for LM was 111cm3. The number of glass slides per case was 37 for CM and 18 for LM.
Conclusions: CM and LM techniques both provide excellent and comparable negative margin rates for breast conservative surgery for invasive BC. Our data suggest that negative margin rates may be better for LM technique then CM technique in cases of DCIS as a continous piece may best reflect the ductal anatomy. This however requires confirmation with a larger data set. The volume of tissue removed in both techniques is similar however glass slide production is more than double for CM over LM.

The Aegon GB Davis Cup Team will play their Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group quarter-final tie against Italy on outdoor clay in Naples.
The tie, which is taking place from 4-6 April, will be hosted at the Tennis Club Napoli. Andy Murray, James Ward, Colin Fleming and Dominic Inglot secured their quarter-final position with defeat over the USA in February.
Aegon GB Davis Cup Team Captain Leon Smith said: "We're very excited to be playing our World Group quarter-final in Naples. The Italians have a very strong team and we are under no illusions as to how difficult this tie will be, but our team put on a phenomenal performance to beat the USA earlier this month and so we hope to carry that momentum forward and give this tie absolutely everything we've got. No doubt the matches will be played in front of a very passionate home crowd, so we look forward to seeing as many British supporters out there as possible as it makes a huge difference the team."

Report: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. developer GSC shut down
Ukrainian-based studio has reportedly closed its doors.
GSC Game World, the team best known for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, has been reportedly shut down.
While details of GSC's closure are currently scarce to say the least, UkraNews is reporting that studio's CEO Sergei Grigorovich informed his staff earlier today in a meeting that he had decided to shutter down the Ukrainian-based company, which boasts well over 40 employees.
Website RockPaperShotgun spotted a tweet of what it seems GSC denying the report, only to find it later on mysteriously erased from the company's Twitter feed. In an attempt to squeeze more info, contacting the developer has met with the typical "Sorry no comment at this point".
Developer GSC has been working on follow-up S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 for PC and consoles – if this report is to be taken genuinely, it means the upcoming 2012-set project could very well be sadly canned.

I take back anything bad I ever said about engineers doing design.
Images have started popping up online of this recently-restored Buick Streamliner, a working show car that was originally designed and built in 1948 by mechanical engineer Norman E. Timbs. As the name implies and your eye can confirm, the car is the epitome of the streamlining style; it's also got an aluminum body that was hand-formed over a wooden form and ate up 80% of the entire cost of the car (ten large in 1948 dollars).
Practical? No. Insanely beautiful? Yes.
The car was "discovered in the desert" and restored by the California couple who purchased it at auction, and recently appeared at the 2010 Concours D'Elegance. There's a must-see gallery of the car here.

After a long awaited wait the new greenhouse is producing bountifully and I am still not done rebuilding rows and planting!! Tomorrow we will be bringing French Breakfast Radishes, gorgeous long scallions, Moonstruck Salad Mix, Leaf Lettuce mix (for those who just want lettuce in for their salad or for their sandwiches), Mustard Mix, Braising Greens (combination of collards, Beeden Kale, Winterbor Kale, various mustards, beet greens), Mizuna Mustard (green and purple), cilantro, parsley, chives, dill, bok choy, sprouting broccoli and spicy mustard greens!!
As I was weeding the spinach I noticed I had left a little too much space between the lines of scallions and groupings of spinach....perfect...I had a tray of Savoy cabbage that needed to go in. Today was a challenge planting because I had a new intern on board...a very young intern...Molly joined us yesterday. She is half Border Collie and Catahoula, both superior working dogs. She has joined us to be by my side during the day herding goats and sheep eventually, learning to be by my side without walking through the lettuce and providing a variety of other joys hopefully...though right now she is adding a few challenges, but in truth she is fantastic already. She has it in her genes to be a great dog, and she was groomed for me by a very dear friend since she was just a few weeks old. Look for her at market tomorrow...she will be the little 9 week old Merle colored puppy right at my feet :) as she has been for the last 36 hours.

Stop the anual Faroe Island,Denmark Whale slaughter
It's time to tell the Danish government that this kind of atrocity has no place in today's world! Each year this blood bath takes place in the Faroe Islands,an autonomous region of Denmark. Hundred of trapped and defenseless whales are lured into the bay and slaughtered in a cruel and barbaric way. The male islanders take on this task as a rite of passage" to adulthood...we see it as senseless, inhumane,unnecessary and cruel. Join the petition and make your voice heard!

F'ville man dies in crash Saturday during police chase
Twenty-eight year-old Fayetteville resident Marvin Nash, Jr. was killed early Saturday morning when his Toyota SUV hit a tree on Sharon Drive during a pursuit by a Fayetteville police officer.
Fayetteville Police spokesperson Steve Crawshaw said the incident occurred Saturday at approximately 2 a.m. An officer was running radar on Ga. Highway 85 south of Grady Avenue when Nash's vehicle passed the officer traveling northbound at 62 miles per hour in a 45-mile per hour speed zone, said Crawshaw.
Crawshaw said the officer pulled out behind Nash in an attempt to catch up with the vehicle. The vehicle changed lanes and began to slow down near city hall, as if it would be pulling over for the traffic stop, said Crawshaw. But the vehicle then sped up, turned right onto Stonewall, left on Lee Street and then back onto Hwy.85 South, Crawshaw said.
Crawshaw said the vehicle turned onto Grady Avenue and continued until it crossed Ga. Highway 54 and entered Sharon Drive. The vehicle hit a tree near the roadway a short distance from Hwy. 54, Crawshaw said, resulting in Nash's death.
Crawshaw said that, during the pursuit, the officer was unable to determine the vehicle's license number.
The Georgia State Patrol was called to investigate the accident, Crawshaw said, adding that the Fayetteville Police Department is reviewing the pursuit portion of the incident. Both investigations are ongoing.
enjoyed the golf cart ride. Thought the Clayton County Bomb Squad and PTC PD action at the Braelinn Shopping Center was fascinating. Captain Pye seemed to have everything under control. Glad that SUV didn't blow up or have a meth lab in it. The little white haired lady owner from Coweta didn't seem to mind. The bomb robot machine and the drug sniffing K-9 from Clayton County were quite an eyeful. I thought PTC has a K-9, but maybe not.
Then, the leisurely ride down thru thug alley, and spotted a PTC fire truck with lights on in Balmoral pkg. lot. Paramedics there, too. Then, 2 PD cruisers showed up. Seems someone was unconscious inside somewhere.
As Mr. Rogers used to say, "Another beautiful day in the neighborhood."
Tomorrow, might just take the video camera with me. Just for kicks.
Thanks to all the emergency responders. You all didn't enjoy this day as much as we did, but at least you had nice weather. Bless you.
It is just amazing to me that people never learn that running from the police doesn't work. Wonder how many other lives this fool put in danger while he was trying to escape...
Speed limits should still be enforced even in the middle of the night.
Would you rather the officer just park behind a building and sleep?
because he had a suspended license.
Fayette arrests log Jan. 11-17, 2011
Marvin Nash, 28, of Lakepoint Lane, Fayetteville, for parking violation and suspended license.
Why radar at 2 am?? Answer, Revenue enhancement,
Then don't exceed the speed limit at any hour. ........................................

Local high school band asked to play presidential inauguration
The sound of music fills Lyn Nelthropp's band room. She's taken her Global Connection High School students to competitions around the country, and her wind ensemble recently received an invitation to perform at the presidential inauguration.
"It's a humongous opportunity," she said.
Despite that opportunity, Nelthropp didn't even bother telling her principal about the invite.
"Her initial reaction was, 'That's great, but we could never afford to go on a trip like this,'" said principal Rick Harwood.
But when Nelthropp finally did tell her boss, he didn't flinch.
Harwood told her to get her 37 students ready to perform, saying they would find a way to raise the money. It was music to Nelthropp's ears.
"We're going to actually be there for the swearing in of the 45th president," she said. "That's amazing."
Global Connection isn't a school with a lot of cash, and 78 percent of the students are living in poverty. With flights, hotels and various expenditures, the trip carries a hefty $60,000 price tag.
"Most of our students don't own their own instruments," Harwood said. "Most of our students can't afford private lessons."
Student Chandler Williams can't imagine having to decline the D.C. offer.
"That would be really disappointing because we worked really hard to get there, so for an opportunity to be taken away just because we weren't financially ready, it would be sad," he said.
The kids in the ensemble are too young to vote, but they're all honored by the prestigious invitation.
"It's going to be really cool to see history in the making and be there for it," said student David Smith.
Fundraising committees are now kicking into gear with the goal of getting the kids to Washington. They're already planning bake sales, a holiday bazaar and a huge jazz gala.
The students were selected to play the historic event because of the high scores they received at a competition in Orlando.

Aug 15, 2013 8:11 PM by April Hansen, KSBY
A 25-year-old Santa Maria man is charged with multiple counts of child pornography and the Santa Barbara County District Attorney thinks there may be even more victims involved. There is only one victim identified at this time.
Childers was arrested in July after the 12-year-old girl's family found video cameras in different locations in their home, including the child's bedroom and bathroom.
Childers is charged with possession of child pornography and attempted possession of child pornography. He's also charged with first degree burglary on 13 of the 24 counts.
The felony complaint says he started entering the girl's home from March 2012 to July 2013.
Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Karapetian says Childers knew the victim and her family.
"In a lot of sexual assault cases, it's extremely common that the perpetrator knows the victims. They are familiar with their families, and slowly but surely, develop a relationship with the victims and the crime increases in seriousness," said Karapetian.
Karapetian says she hopes by showing the suspect's photo, it will encourage other victims to come forward. She says they believe he has contacted other underage girls on the internet.
Investigators ask anyone with information to call Corporal Steve Best with the Santa Maria Police Department at 928-3781, ext 491.
Childers is being held in jail on $300,000 bail.
His next court appearance is August 29th.
