Jefferson City, Mo.— Attorney General Chris Koster said today that Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Robert G. Wilkins has ordered Kimberly Vogelpohl to be placed on probation for a term of five years stemming from a felony plea to two counts of Medicaid fraud and one count of forgery. In addition to the normal conditions of probation, Judge Wilkins ordered Vogelpohl to serve a period of 15 days shock detention in the county jail and to pay $6,340.56 restitution to the Missouri Medicaid Program.
Vogelpohl participated in Medicaid's Consumer Directed Services program, a program that allows qualified persons to obtain routine in-home personal care services (e.g., bathing, cleaning, and meal preparation), as well as transportation services. The purpose of the program is to provide home-based services to eligible individuals who wish to remain in their homes. In this program, Vogelpohl was responsible for hiring, training, and supervising her own personal care attendant. Koster's investigators established that from June 2007 to October 2007, after Vogelpohl's personal care attendant quit, Vogelpohl falsified timesheets to reflect that more than 450 hours of services had been provided to her and kept the payments for herself. Vogelpohl submitted false claims to Medicaid for payment, resulting in a total loss to Medicaid exceeding $6,300.
"One of my top priorities as Attorney General is to go after those who would cheat Missouri taxpayers by committing Medicaid fraud," Koster said. "This type of shameful and unlawful action takes medical care away from those who truly need it. I believe this is a just sentence that will serve as a warning to others that we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law."
Koster said citizens should report suspected Medicaid provider fraud or abuse and neglect to his Medicaid Fraud Hotline toll free at 800-286-3932, e-mail the complaint to firstname.lastname@example.com or complete a complaint form at the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Website.

The Texas State Board of Education will vote Friday on a resolution aimed at restraining publishers from printing social studies textbooks with a clear bias for Islam and against Christianity.
The action comes after some Texas conservatives claimed that several textbooks lessons on the Crusades conveyed the message that Christians are "violent attackers" and Muslims are "empire builders."
"Diverse reviewers have repeatedly documented gross pro-Islamic, anti-Christian distortions in social studies texts," reads a preliminary draft of the resolution, which would not be binding on future boards that will choose the state's next generation of textbooks.
Imam Islam Mossaad of the Austin Islamic Center has called such charges "preposterous." "All that the students should receive is a fair characterization of the facts," he said.
However, Jonathan Saenz, legislative affairs director of The Liberty Institute, supports the resolution which calls the texts too politically correct.
"We don't want imbalance, and we don't want religious discrimination in our textbooks," he said.
"This is a way for the State Board of Education to be proactive and give the textbook publishers some heads up...to make sure that this doesn't happen again the way it did 10 years ago with some of the Texas textbooks," Saenz told One News Now.

I scored a free waterbed heater, set it up, put my seed trays on it, set it for 75 degrees and in a matter of seconds it was very hot to the touch. Should the light go off at the desired temperature? What do you do with the metal probe? (I would assume thats what measures the temp)and does it have to be under a water source, (such as the waterbed liner to work properly) I was really hoping to use this heater as I heard of others using them successfully. I did a search from previous posts, but werent very helpful. Can I just put a towel over the heater, then seedlings on top? |

The extent of my experience with using a waterbed heater as a heat mat or soil heating device is what I've read over in the Greenhouse & Garden Structures forum ... and what I've read there is *don't do it* as it can be very dangerous and has been known to cause fires. If others have been doing this with success, it would be important to know precisely how they are setting this up to avoid burns and/or fire. Diane |
....try reasoning with your homeowners insurance company if you should have a fire....I simply wouldn't consider this.... |
....as well as the safety of others who entrust a person's assessments and decisions.... |
Why not get a cheap waterbed mattress and set it on top of the heater, maybe only half full, and then put a smooth board over an old blanket on top to set your flats on. I'd only use something like that outside, and only with a ground fault interrupt switch at that. That way with the water in it and the gfci, even if it *does* catch fire, it's not likely to set the house on fire. Lisa |
well one must simply weigh it out... |
I use a waterbed heater in the same way you would use heating coils as that's what a waterbed heater is, vinyl covered coils made to disperse it's heat to it's surroundings. Keep in mind that waterbed heaters usually sit on a plywood frame and are meant to reach temperatures of 100°. Not even close to the 72° I keep mine at. So here's how I did it. I made a shallow framed box, lined it with vinyl and filled with a couple inches of sand. I put the temp probe in through the side of a soil filled flat like I use for sowing and set it on top of the sand. This is because I want the probe sensing the same soil evironment my seeds will be experiencing. I had it originally in the sand and quickly realized that the probe was sensing the direct heat and would turn off almost immediately, not enough to warm the soil in the seedling flats (duh). If you haven't got the skills or tools (luv my bandsaw!) to make a wooden frame, try one of those big under-the-bed plastic storage containers. It would have to be big enough for the heater to lie flat. It's worked great for me so far. I made it back in Nov and it's warmed hundreds of little seeds. Not one of them has caught on fire! Kris |
I have used one in the same manner as Kris. Works great.............Tom |
I don't know anything about waterbed heaters but this year I experimented with an old heating pad. Let me explain how I safetly used this. I usually start a tray of begonia tubers and caladiums and they are very slow to start. This year I got a permanest tray (one of the sturdy plastic trays, not the flimsy black plastic trays that are prone to developing holes) and put the heating pad under the tray on a GFI plug with a timer to run 6PM to 6AM when someone is home. There is no danger water can come in contact with the pad because with these tubers I only water them slightly once a week. I change the tray so it is completely dry after watering. So the tray and heating pad do not come in contact when water is present. So far I can see that it has helped my begonias and caladiums start much quicker than other years. I thought I'd contribute what I've done for other people to try. Be sure to be safe in whatever you try. Remember, I would not recommend doing this with a cheap black plastic tray or in any situation where water is present when the pad is on. |
enter variables: the integrity of used equiptment,knowledge pertaining to applicable areas of electrical devices as well as exceeding the design of a product.... |
....I don't know...this a hobby,I think...why do I sense issues are overlooked in our reasoning.... |
I shall suggest if higher media germination temperatures of the specific cultivar is required, work with the volume (container cell)and media selection.... |
Kris, I dont get this "I put the temp probe in through the side of a soil filled flat like I use for sowing and set it on top of the sand. This is because I want the probe sensing the same soil evironment my seeds will be experiencing" What kind of flat, like a black bottom tray, one without cells. Do you bury the probe in the soil? What if the soil is damp? Gloria |

I wouldn't say that because I do think that they did a nice job with it initially. It's just that the queue itself had a "re-ridability" factor of 0.
I guess I also subconsciously factor in that EPCOT Center really didn't have any truly detailed queues at the time.
Well, The Living Seas was decent enough, I suppose. Hardcore queue theming didn't seem to take off until the days of Test Track and Tower of Terror.

Acessibilidade e sensorialidade nas ambiências museais brasileiras
Regina Cohen, Cristiane Rose Duarte e Alice Brasileiro
File (.pdf)
AbstractWhat is there in our museums and what is still missing for the citizens with disabilities to feel that it is worth visiting them and even coming back? Some national and foreign researchers have discussed these and other issues, analyzing what has already been done on the subject and what could be done in the future. This is the case of the research carried out by Cohen (2008) and by the Pro-Access Nucleus of the UFRJ, together with institutions responsible for museums overwhelmed by the Brazilian Heritage which we introduce in this article. Our research has proved that museums are neverending sources of information through all our senses. Sometimes, perception may be dominated by only one of them. A blind person moves around using the walking stick as a flare and also the sounds or the smells. There are museal environments shaped by these sensory, corporal and emotional spaces and by the images of those museums that exist inside each of us. It's a question of comprehension of these sensitive surroundings that welcome our body and our senses, these places where we find home and shelter. There are already works that show this new dimension of museums and universal exhibitions available for those who cannot see or hear. Bodies with disabilities moving around, hearing, seeing and touching constitutes an enriching experience, not only at the theoretical level, but also at the practical one. It means to have access, to walk, to see, to hear, to touch, to smell, to feel, to perceive or to describe -in endless different ways- how human nature is. A research on the inclusion of people with deficiencies, and their sensorial and emotional experiences concerning museums accessibility -the way we define it nowadays- is highly significant. Rather than being an approach to satisfy everybody, it is an attempt to understand human universality, capable to explain the feelings of these people as the result of the museal practices of our planners. This article assesses the accessibility of the IPHAN museums located in the State of Río de Janeiro. The obtained results are indeed satisfying and illustrative about the field research carried out with these people. We expect that in the near future we will be able to expand the paradigms when planning the sensitive environments -physical, sensory and emotional- of our Fluminenses and Brazilian museums. Key words: Accessibility. Museal Surroundings. Deficiency. Universality. Sensoriality.

Have you found that a playroom works best or toys in the bedroom works best? I find my dd (4yr) doesn't seem to want to go to sleep as well w/a room full of toys. Some people I've talked to say no way would they have their child in a room w/toys, because bedrooms are for sleeping! I don't think I agree w/that, but I need the extra room for my office.
What has worked for you? |

My kids have their toys in the bedroom. I've tried to get them to play in there, but the trainsets and other major items alwaysseem to find the way out to the main living areas. If we had room, we'd have a playroom. |
My boys had their toys in their bedrooms, no problem. I allowed them to read for a half an hour before they had to turn out the light. Reading always relaxed me and made me sleepy. I thought it would do the same for them and maybe teach them how much fun it is to read. |
We have most of the toys in the playroom but also toys in the bedroom & even a dollhouse in my room. It works as long as I don't have them scattered througout the house & everything has a place. |
When my first was born I thought all the toys should stay in her room and she should play in there with them. Boy was I naive! Kids don't want to play all alone in their room OR a playroom, they want to play where they can see and hear YOU! After having four children and overflowing toys I found the best idea for us was to keep a toy closet. I found a huge locking cabinet (actually I think it was a metal locker) and all the toys with pieces had to go into their own containers and be put away before they could get out another. This worked unbelievably well for us and taught them to put away one mess before they started another. Stuffed animals and such I look at as room decorations and either go up on shelves or in a toy hammock strung in a corner. Like Michiel says, the main thing is to teach them that every thing has a place that it "lives" and it gets put away when done. I also agree very strongly with Jonesy about the reading before bed. We had a routine with reading at night. I do it and I expected them to do it. After a certain hour you get in bed and read. You can read whatever you like for however long you want but that's all you can do. Reading helps calm your mind down and turn inward to help you unwind. Of all the important things you teach your kids, the love of reading ranks right up in the top five most useful. |
my youngest son alawys likes to take a book to bed with him i think that he likes to look at the pictures more than anything and he does like to have a story read to him every night before he goes off to sleep . the toybox stays in the boys bedroom ,but alas the toys are continually strung all over the house :-).

Although my son is still in a crib, we have baskets all over the house for toys/books, etc. I have a plastic clothes basket in his room for toys so we can just throw them in whenever he makes a mess. There's a big floppy Rubbermaid basket behind a chair in the LR for toys, etc. so it's out of sight and DS likes to go back there and play. Then everything can just be dumped either in there or in the pack and play when we're done (which is never, LOL). I also have a long narrow basket down low so he can reach that has his "bookies" in it and he likes to read while I'm changing his diaper. It's amazing how it can look like a cyclone one minute and then clean the next because everything can just be thrown in and nothing really has to be organized. |

A 57-year-old former nun delivers the keynote speech at the Colorado Trust event. Barbara Coloroso tells her audience that it is taking on one of the biggest health issues in the country.
They're going to beat the bully.
Some of the teachers and school administrators in this hotel ballroom were picked on as kids, Coloroso says. Others undoubtedly picked on weaker children, exploiting their differences for self-gratification. In their role as teachers, some may still do so.
Six years ago this month, when two Columbine High School students killed a dozen kids and a teacher, bullying in the schools suddenly became the focus of a national discussion. For Colorado experts like Coloroso and the creators of Bully-Proofing Your School, the hazards of bullying were nothing new -- but the international attention that propelled Colorado to the center of the anti-bullying industry certainly was.
People still debate, and may always debate, how much of a role bullying played in the tragedy at Columbine. The anti-bullying industry's explosion afterward is indisputable.
"Industry" is a term that makes many in the anti-bullying field cringe.
It's a term that smacks of profit, when those who work in the field say they want to focus on people. They want to do good -- and if they make a living in the process, so much the better.
Last fall, the Colorado Trust, a twenty-year-old grant-making foundation, sent a request for proposals for its Bullying Prevention Initiative to schools, districts and nonprofits around the state. By March 1, the foundation had received 92 proposals for anti-bullying programs. On April 14, it handed out 45 three-year grants totaling $8.6 million.
Although the Colorado Trust has funded violence-prevention programs for well over a decade, the Bullying Prevention Initiative is new. "The whole intent of the initiative is to build the skills of youth and adults to prevent, or actively intervene, in preventing bullying activities," says Ed Guajardo Lucero, a senior program officer. "After Columbine, we recognized that there was a lot more work to be done in the youth-development arena."
So did many other people.
Still others were already doing that work.
After leaving the church in the '70s, Barbara Coloroso went back to school and earned a master's degree in behavioral and learning disorders. For a while, she taught troubled ten- to fifteen-year-olds in a laboratory demonstration school in Greeley, where university students would observe her through one-way mirrors. The majority of the kids were in trouble because they'd struck back after being bullied. And all of the kids had tried to hurt themselves or others. Some had learning disabilities; others were mentally retarded. In the evenings, Coloroso taught university courses in special education for future teachers.
As she continued building her educational expertise, Coloroso married and raised three children of her own. Her son was small for his age, with his Italian father's black, curly hair. He was an artist and musician -- and a target of bullies. One day, when other kids were poking fun at him, calling him names and kicking him, his older sister ran to tell a teacher. The teacher advised the girl that kids in that school didn't tattle.
By the mid-'90s, Coloroso had moved to the Denver area and published a book, kids are worth it, which was designed to help children develop self-discipline. The book included a chapter on bullying, and groups began asking Coloroso to lecture specifically on that topic. She started delivering anti-bullying lectures in schools and juvenile-justice systems around the world, and kids are worth it became an international bestseller.
On April 20, 1999, Coloroso had just finished another book, Parenting Through Crisis. As a renowned bullying expert who lived in Littleton, no less, she was soon in even greater demand as a speaker and commentator who could put the situation at Columbine in perspective. A publisher approached her to write a book about bullying, and she quickly added an epilogue to Parenting Through Crisis, pointing out that Columbine-style tragedies were happening everywhere.
Then she wrote The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander, with a title she drew from her son's own experience of being bullied. The book became her second international bestseller.
Coloroso doesn't promise to have all the answers. Instead, she delivers passionate monologues like the one she gave at the April 14 Colorado Trust luncheon, which drew laughs as well as tears.
"I only say I'm here to bring awareness," she explains, "and then I leave them with a lot of work to do, because there is no bully program to drop in."
Most schools are still dealing with outdated concepts about bullying, including the false notion that it's all part of growing up. And schools punish bullies, she says, rarely realizing that after the bully has been disciplined, he's going to be twice as angry as he was before -- making it even worse for the kids he was picking on.

I Believe
How you show up tells the world how you see yourself, how to receive you and how to reward you. Show up as the very best version of yourself - always.
About Me
Did you get dressed today? Did you open your closet to a perfect array of "Magic Outfits?" Were you dressed and out-the-door feeling fabulous, knowing you were perfectly prepared for whatever the new day would bring your way? Did you look in the mirror on your way out the door and say to yourself (or anyone listening), "Wow, I look great?"
Would it make a difference in your day if you could do all these things with ease, grace and the confidence that you were getting it "right" every time? If you answered yes, you're not alone.
I have had the honor and the privilege to be the trusted image advisor to CEOs, corporations and individuals worldwide. Each day I get to work with amazing individuals to take their unique message from the inside and express it authentically and effectively on the outside. I am grateful to be invited to share my message of the power of image and personal brand one-on-one, as an international speaker, author, coach and media personality.
Image/styling was my hobby until a business school assignment inspired me and helped me recognize it as my calling. It is a huge gift to be able to recognize someone else's potential and to help them see it, too.
I am the former Vice President of Professional Image Development at Chase Manhattan Bank; creator of the professional skills workshop, The Brand Called Me, at NYU's Stern School of Business, and the American Management Association's The Power of Your Professional Image; a faculty member of the Image Consulting Certification Program at the Fashion Institute of Technology; Past President of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI); resident image expert for Career TV and the Lifetime TV series, Remake My Life; and an image industry spokesperson. I am also the author of Image Matters! First Steps on the Journey to Your Best Self (E2 Publications, 2002), co-author of #1 Best Seller, The Law of Business Attraction (Yinspire Media, 2009) and Executive Image Power (Power Dynamics Publishing, 2009).
I know that you often have questions about image and how to make your image work for you. That's why I'm here. If you have a question, I have an answer. I look forward to hearing from you.
The Reason I Became A Helping Professional
I've been practicing image since I was three years old. From my first make up kit at three to my first hair styling client at four, designing costumes for family and school plays and on to dressing and styling friends and family for everyday life and special occasions, I am keenly aware of the Power of Showing Up.
Throughout my whole life I watched others grow in front of the mirror simply because they loved who and what they saw. Equally, I watched them shrink when they did not like the person looking back at them.
I've made it my life's practice to help women and men LOVE who and what you see in the mirror. I've come to understand that the person you see in your head is far more powerful than the person you see in the mirror.
Through our work together, I help you see the beauty, the gifts and the light that I see. I will show you your potential by helping to translate your message from the inside to the outside and head-to-toe. Whether in professional or personal life, you are your very best message and messenger. The world needs to know you - the very best version of you. I can help.

Sony Vaio CW Atheros AR9285 Wireless Adapter Stopped Working
Recently my Atheros wireless adapter stopped working in my laptop. I have not installed any new hardware or software. Nor have I made any changes to any settings. I have also made sure the wi-fi tab is on. When checking the device manager, the yellow exclamation mark is shown with the error message saying the drivers are not installed for the device. When I try to reinstall the drivers, afterwards it says the installation is complete however the yellow exclamation mark/error msg is still listed. I should note the device manager lists the Atheros wireless adapter as a generic name. I remember in the past it would be listed as "Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter".
Since nothing has worked, I have tried to restore my system to a previous date. Tried multiple dates with no luck. One odd thing that I did start noticing was the device manager now recognizes the wireless adapter as an Atheros AR9285. Exclamation mark is still there, now with a new error message "This device cannot start. (code 10)". Now I'm not certain this changed after restoring to a previous date or if it changed before trying that. I have tried to update the drivers and now I get the message "The best driver software for this device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for this device is up to date".
I'm starting to think maybe it's a hardware issue. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Download the latest driver from ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows
Use "Updated Driver" option from the Device Driver "Properties" under Device Manager. (if you try to install the driver any other way, it will not work).
When you open the "Update Driver" option, make sure you choose "Browse my computer for driver software" and then choose the location of the "inf" file that you downloaded and extracted from the provided site.
Windows will warn you that the software is not Microsoft certified. Do you really care if it works, while the certified one does not? Accept it.
As a final step, count down from 10 to 1 to avoid sending a hate-letter to Microsoft or the Atheros people.

Lets raise money for a bounty on all New Black Panthers
The New Black Panthers have put out a bounty for George Zimmerman for $10,000 to anyone who captures him dead or alive. I think it is fair to ask that we raise at least that much money for the capture of any Black Panther dead or alive too. Please support this cause and give your signature (wink wink). lets get a million signatures for this cause and show these racists idiots that we wont stand for violent bully tactics.

Hard-working Lifelong Learning students gathered with family, friends and University staff at the Julian Hodge building recently for a formal celebration of their achievements.
Among those recognised at Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning's Annual Awards Ceremony was 88-year-old Eileen Younghusband. She was presented with the Extraordinary Departmental Prize for successfully publishing a monograph as part of the Creative Writing Workshop On-line (Publishing) course.
Eileen missed out on the possibility of attending university in her youth through serving as a WAAF Officer during World War Two. She joined the Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning fifteen years ago to study Spanish and Creative Writing. Last year she achieved her lifelong ambition of graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing with the Open University after gaining a Diploma in Higher Education at the Centre.
She was just one of 48 students awarded certificates or prizes to formally recognise their academic achievements and study at the Centre. Awards included nationally-recognised Foundation Certificates, Certificates and Diplomas of Higher Education, European language qualifications and departmental prizes. The awards and prizes were presented by Dr Richard Evans, Dean of Lifelong Learning and Professor Stephen Hill, Dean of Teaching and Learning Innovation at the University of Gloucestershire.
Eileen said: "I cannot speak too highly of the Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning. The encouragement and support which I have encountered throughout the Centre both from tutors and support staff has been magnificent. Furthermore, I have managed to meet and make friends with so many interesting people. Without doubt, my quality of life has been improved by taking part in Lifelong Learning programmes."
Dr Evans said: "The Awards Ceremony was a wonderful occasion, recognising the hard work and commitment of our students - in many cases, like Eileen, over several years. New courses are starting after Easter and we hope to welcome many more adult learners to the wide variety of subjects on offer."
Most courses run by the Centre for Lifelong Learning offer nationally-recognised credits which can be used towards a Certificate or Diploma of Higher Education. Subjects available this April include:
All courses are part-time, held in the evenings or at weekend. For more information visit www.cardiff.ac.uk/learn

What Skin Cancer Looks Like The most common warning sign of skin cancer is a change to your skin. A change is often most noticeable as something growing on the skin. This growth can take many forms as the following pictures show.
Melanoma can begin in a mole or appear as a new skin growth on the skin.
Squamous cell skin cancer can grow quickly as did the one on this man's scalp.

Missoula philanthropists to receive honorary doctorates from UM
Missoulians John and Sue Talbot will receive Honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters at the University of Montana commencement ceremony tomorrow.
The Talbots are being recognized for their long and generous service to both the university and the community. John Talbot is a former publisher of the Missoulian newspaper, and the journalism building on the University of Montana campus is named after Sue Talbot's father, Don Anderson, a well-known newspaperman. The Talbots have supported and been active in dozens of community and university organizations. In this feature interview, News Director Sally Mauk talks with the Talbots about their love of UM and Missoula, and why they think both the town and gown have a bright future. The Talbots met in college when Sue was attending Radcliffe, and John was at Harvard...

When it comes to post-race triathlon gear, it seems as though clothes would be a no-brainer. But whether clothes are easily forgotten while packing a bike, wetsuit and other crucial items, or folks just don't remember that there are many post-race hours spent standing around and socializing, clothing just doesn't seem to make it into many post-race gear bags.

Drop rates surface on 2.4 items and substances {WoW}
Apr 1st 2008 8:53AM @11: I dunno that may be true but the drop rate on the residue is absurdly low. Farming 2 stacks of adamantite a day as well as doing the netherwing ore quest every day, and it still takes 2 days to complete it? Not much of a daily if it takes more than a day.
First day I got 2 badges on my main. I've done those quests every day on my main and every other on my alt. Haven't seen any badges since those first 2. Also have guildies who have yet to see a badge. Unless my guild has horrible luck I'd guess the drop rate is 5% at best.

On my battlegroup the AV changes may help us a bit. We never had a chance to defend any bunkers. By the time we'd get to Belinda the Horde was already capping the first bunker. When getting to Iceblood Tower they'd already have D waiting on us. Fair? Hardly. Of course this won't stop their massive D turtle that totally wipes our O, forcing a slow painful reinforcement win that takes a minimum of a half hour.

I've been taking iron supplements for over 5 years. Although iron supplements don't require a prescription my local CVS and Rite-Aid pharmacies refused to sell me any without one.

100 Colorado Creatives: Laura Shill
#54: Laura ShillLaura Shill chills with the artwork in her RedLine studio.
Laura Shill calls her work "a collision of collecting, costuming, performance, installation and photography," and as you might expect, it's always intriguing: The many-faceted artist, currently a studio resident at RedLine, is known of late for labor-intensive stuffed fiber installations that envelope and shelter the viewer with literal arms and a hyper-feminine pulse...but that's not all she does.
See also:
- 100 Colorado Creatives: Adam Milner
- 100 Colorado Creatives: Cortney Lane Stell
- 100 Colorado Creatives: Theresa Anderson
Shill's stunning installation A Small Room, which hangs from the ceiling on the third floor of the McNichols Building as part of the Biennial of the Americas exhibition First Draft, can be seen there through September 2. And there's more on the way, she notes. Laura Shill, "A Small Room."
We asked rapidly emerging artist Shill to share her thoughts on the creative life; her thoughtful answers follow.
Westword: If you could collaborate with one person throughout time, who would it be and why?Laura Shill, "A Small Room," interior.
Laura Shill: Louise Bourgeois. I admire her sense of humor, subversion of the human form, use of material, the ambitious scale of many of her works, and that she continued to make work well into her nineties. And since reality isn't really an issue here, we would create an immersive installation for Monumenta at Grand Palais in Paris. We would turn that giant brass and glass atrium into a vaguely transparent atmosphere that evokes the interior of a body and utilizes the natural light that is always changing in that space. I would also really love it if I could play dress-up with Dolly Parton and then we would brush each other's hair.
Who in the world is interesting to you right now and why?
Well, to be honest, I'm a little out of touch with the outside world right now. I've kind of been inside an art tornado for the past few months working on pieces for RedLine's Not Exactly and the Biennial. Then I immediately flew to Alabama to visit my family after that. So, I guess I would have to say my mom, Vickie Shill. I spent a lot of time with her last week and she possesses these qualities that I hope to develop one day, like patience and optimism (she starts a lot of sentences with "I'm no Pollyanna, but...") and she's quick to laugh and to forgive. She also practices creativity in every facet of her life, and that is a constant source of inspiration for me.

Marc Webb Wanted to Give Audiences Peter Parker's Origin Story With His 'The Amazing Spider-Man'
Features By Jack Giroux on July 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA large portion of The Amazing Spider-Man does not come off as a typical summer movie. Battling that lab coat-wearing Lizard aside, the heroics of Peter Parker's life often take a backseat to his identity crisis. Director Marc Webb, as he told us, did not want to retell the origin of Spider-Man, as we already got that film ten years ago. No matter how much we all like to chuckle at the "untold story" tagline, Webb gives us good reason to reconsider why this is a new origin story: this is Peter Parker's origin, not Spider-Man's. The first hour of The Amazing Spider-Man takes its time to set up this new Peter Parker and the grounded world Webb aimed to capture. Tonally everything, including the giant green lizard who talks, Webb takes as seriously as he can. The Amazing Spider-Man isn't realistic and gritty in the Nolan sense, but bares a key similarity in its dramatic grounding. Here's what director Marc Webb had to say about the emotional chip Peter Parker carries on his shoulder, the wise-cracking teenage hero he saw while reading the comics, and why we've seen so much footage from his major tentpole release:
Marc Webb: Don't Watch Those 25 Minutes of 'The Amazing Spider-Man'
Movie News By Jack Giroux on June 28, 2012 | Comments (7)For the past few days a comical and depressing mash-up of the marketing materials for The Amazing (and pretty good) Spider-Man has taken the internet by storm. Louis Plamondon – who was today's Reject Radio's fine guest – made a short film out of all the footage Sony has released, nearly nailing the film down beat by beat. Speaking to the film's director Marc Webb today, his response was simple: just don't watch it. If you care about the movie, then why delve more into spoiler territory? When asked if he had seen it yet, Webb responded, "I have not seen it, but, listen, I think most movies reveal as much stuff. That's a marketing department thing, so I wasn't necessarily involved in that. If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. Is it really that hard?"
Culture Warrior: 'Taxi Driver' at 35
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on March 29, 2011 | Comments (6)You hear the phrase "This movie could never be made today" quite often, and it's typically a thinly veiled means by which a creative team allows themselves to administer loving pats on their own backs. But in the context of at a 35th anniversary exhibition of the restoration of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver with a justifiably disgruntled Paul Schrader in attendance, such a sentence rings profoundly and depressingly true. Like many of you, I've seen Taxi Driver many times before. For many, it's a formative moment in becoming a cinephile. But I had never until last weekend seen the film outside of a private setting. And in a public screening, on the big screen, I'm happy to say the film still has the potential to shock and profoundly affect viewers so many decades on. For me personally it was the most disturbing of any time I'd ever seen the film, and I was appropriately uncomfortable despite anticipating the film's every beat. Perhaps it was because I was sharing the film's stakes with a crowd instead of by myself or with a small group of people, or perhaps the content comes across as so much more subversive when projected onto a giant screen, or perhaps it was because the aura of a room always feels different when the creative talent involved is in attendance. For whatever reason, I found the film to be more upsetting than in any other context of viewing. But one of the most appalling moments of Taxi […]
Apparently the short list has been whittled down. Out of these names, who should get the job as the web-slinger?
Discuss: What 'Spider-Man' Story Should Sony Tell?
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 19, 2010 | Comments (7)Marc Webb has officially been offered the job to take on Spider-Man for three full films. Are you ready for Spider-Man 4: Spider-Man 1? Great. What should it look like, smart guy?

I hope they will live a long life together now :)
Yeah, hope they live happy for the rest of their (short, considering their age) lives.
Must be like a new world for him, living in a communist Poland and to wake up in a democratic one with a free market economy, I can imagine alot of spending.

In this remarkable book about yoga, William Broad, a lifelong practitioner, shows us that uncommon states are integral to a hidden world of risk and reward that lies beneath clouds of myth, superstition, and hype.
Five years in the making, The Science of Yoga draws on more than a century of painstaking research to present the first impartial evaluation of a practice thousands of years old. It celebrates what's real and shows what's illusory, describes what's uplifting and beneficial and what's flaky and dangerous—and why. Broad illuminates how yoga can lift moods and inspire creativity. He exposes moves that can cripple and kill. As science often does, this groundbreaking book also reveals mysteries. It presents a fascinating body of evidence that raises questions about whether humans have latent capabilities for entering states of suspended animation and unremitting sexual bliss.
The Science of Yoga takes us on a riveting tour of unknown yoga that goes from old archives in Calcutta to the world capitals of medical research, from storied ashrams to spotless laboratories, from sweaty yoga studios with master teachers to the cozy offices of yoga healers. Broad unveils a burgeoning global industry that attracts not only curious scientists but true believers and charismatic hustlers. In the end, he shatters myths, lays out unexpected benefits, and offers a compelling vision of how the ancient practice can be improved.

"First yoga book you should read."
I picked this book knowing nothing of yoga and though not a how to guide, I now know where to start and what to look for in a guide.
"Makes me think and act differently at yoga..."
This book by an educated yoga practitioner helps to dispel some of the silly claims made by yoga teacher (toxins? really? what are they?) while sharing benefits and dangers so we can make informed choices.
"At last"
Would definitely recommend. I rarely write reviews but this book presents an understandable and interesting summary of research, folklore and history of yoga - beyond the evangelical or heavy approach of others. If you are looking for a clear account of the pros and cons of yoga and an informed view on history and traditions then this is it. Section on injury and teachers credentials really helpful and meant I finally found someone who can safely guide me in the traditions and eight arms of yoga.
As above and easy to follow
Personable - understandable-authoritative.
Great book!!
"Good book"
Really enjoyed this book, well researched and clearly written covering a wide range if yoga through the last 50 years will definitely recommend it.
"Excellent Information"
I loved this book. As someone who has not practised Yoga I thought I would listen to this as a way of making sure what i got myself into. Very useful in pointing out the benefits but also the dangers of Yoga before getting into the practice. I will now think twice and ask some important questions of any instructor before taking a class.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Boeing delivers more planes during Q1
Boeing Commercial Airplanes' revenue for the first quarter increased 19 percent to US$12.7 billion (9.1 billion euros) on higher 787 and 737 deliveries.
There were 161 planes delivered during the first quarter, an 18 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2013.
During the quarter, the 787 program reached a 10-per-month production rate and completed preliminary design review on the 787-10. The company selected the Everett, Wash., site as the location for a new composite wing center for the 777X. In April, the 737 program reached a production rate of 42 per month.
Commercial Airplanes booked 235 net orders during the quarter. Backlog remains strong with over 5,100 airplanes valued at US$374 billion (270 billion euros).
The Boeing Company reported that first quarter revenue increased 8 percent to US$20.5 billion (14.8 billion euros) on higher commercial volume.
"Disciplined execution across our production and development programs produced strong first quarter results," Boeing Chairman and CEO Jim McNerney said. "Our outlook for the full year remains positive on the strength of demand for our fuel-efficient new commercial airplanes, our solid position in global defense, space and security markets, and our enterprise focus on meeting customer commitments, improving productivity and profitably delivering the growth in our sizable backlog."

I thought Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru is tragic enough but I just watched a movie that completely tore my heart. A Millionaire's First Love might be one of those typical Korean Movies: typical characters, predictable plot, and tragic ending but getting through that plot is the best part. It hurts so bad that you have to start putting yourself in the situation thinking, "Would I have done the same thing?" Comparing this to Tada, Kimi, it's even hard to think which one I'll prefer: To know that I only have very short time left to spend with the one I love, or just wake up the next day and everything is gone but the happy memories.
If you want to watch the movie, it's available in YouTube- and watch out for those lovely cheesy lines coz' this movie has tons of it.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Re: Iran question
Hi all,
I thought I'd just resend this out to analysts since a few of you were
asking about it (it was posted just to researchers and George previously).
= = = = =
- The development of mobile phone capacity has been a major priority for
the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, with a
particular focus on the development of SMS services and data services
capacity (source: Iran Daily)
- From 2005 to 2008, mobile phone subscriptions have grown 379% (my
calculation based on available data; source: ITU)
- According to this report from Iran Daily, there has been a market shift
from government-provided data plans to private plans, with MTN IranCell
and other large companies moving into market (source: Iran Daily)
- I was unable to find specific data on smartphone market penetration.
Smartphones are a relatively new category within tech, and most analysts
at financial institutions only cover their development in the West
(exclusively). Given that it's still a relatively small market (compared
to the overall size of the global mobal market), this is not particularly
surprising. With regard to smartphones and twitter, twitter does not
require that one has a phone with internet-browsing capabilities; it can
fully support text-message based (SMS) updating/reading/etc.

Brand awareness helps the consumers to know the product, identify the product and associate themselves with the brands and thus create a set of strong loyal consumers.
This in return, contributes towards the growth and profitability of the organization.
Besides this ,there are numerous brands present in the market.So,it becomes essential for organizations to differentiate their product/brand from its competitor.Therefore for long term success, every organization must try and create strong brand awareness for itself and its products. This can be done by following marketing techniques .
Organizations should communicate their message or information strongly and consistently about its brand to its potential consumers. This helps to create the identity of the brand and thus make them stand out from its competitors. This also helps to gain positive impressions about the brand and thus gain maximum recognition.
Organizations must understand the needs and wants of their potential consumers. Then acordingly frame their message and communicate it to their consumers. This helps the organizations to concentrate and focus and thereby in creating stronger brand awareness.
The message communicated to its potential consumers should clearly reflect the benefits of the product .Marketers can even target at meeting the unmet needs of its consumers. The basic objective should be to create an image about the brand which forces them to stick to it. In other words, marketers must try and catch up the pulse of the consumers and thus help to build brand awareness.
Organizations must also try and find out the unique characteristics of its product/organization and communicate the same to its potential consumers. This helps to create better prospect of the brand in the minds of the potential consumers and thus brand awareness.
For already existing products, organizations must keep a check on their brand image regularly and must update itself with the help of consumer's feedback or other reliable sources and thus maintain its brand image and hence brand awareness.
While launching new products or repositioning of old products it's important for organizations to launch their products on correct time. The basic strategy should be correct time of entry. This means there must be sufficient time for the product to create category awareness and thus brand awareness for itself.
