Enra is a self-described "entertainment unit," a Japanese dance troupe "which presents the ultimate fusion of images and live performance." And they've really raised the bar with their latest production, "Pleiades." They've created a fluid work of art in which lights and music accompany the dancers, and all the elements join together to build a powerful, strangely emotional dance.
The two dancers seem to represent a greater order, as if their movement are perfectly dictated by physics and gravity.
Nobuyuki Hanabusa, the video artist, highlights the dancers' hands and movements using lights that moves like stars across the dark blue background. He draws lines between the two dancers, tying their movements together into a single, great dance. The result is pretty incredible.
Although this dance only involves 2 dancers, enra is made up of 5 dancers and a video artist. They're also expected to perform at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Can anybody get us a ticket? (P.S. Check out their audition video here!)

There's been a lot of talk about the cloud as of late. Nowadays it seems that everybody's getting in the game of cloud computing. Even Adobe has cloud offerings of its own and they're going more towards software as a service as opposed to selling a pricey license every few years.
Even then, the price of a subscription is out of reach, and for most users, Photoshop is too powerful for their needs. Furthermore, it's a pain to get working on Linux-based systems. One option is to use a cross platform program for image editing and creation.
Then there's Pixlr.
Pixlr is an online image editing tool that can be run from any web browser on any platform, including Chrome OS. The utility was started by Ola Sevandersson in 2008 and was aimed at non-professionals. AutoDesk bought it out in 2011. So what does it look like?
Like most image editing tools that have some power to them, touching up tools are available, such as red eye removal. There's also the painting tools as well. Layers are also supported.
Since Pixlr is designed to work in the cloud, images can be saved and obtained from the cloud. This convenience makes it easy to edit and share changes quickly. Want to edit an image from a specific URL?
Pixlr can import it.
[epiclink link = 'https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pixlr-editor/icmaknaampgiegkcjlimdiidlhopknpk' color = 'btn btn-info' target = '_blank' shorticon = 'left' itype = ' icon-download-alt' icol = 'black' ]Get Pixlr Image Eitor[/epiclink]In order to load images from a library, one must have an account with Pixlr. It's simple to connect your Google account. From there, connecting your Facebook, Flickr, and Picasa web albums allows access to images that can be saved directly to those services.
File format support includes PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and PXD (Pixlr's native format). For Chromebooks, Pixlr is a huge plus, because the save to computer option can access Google Drive directly. As an image editor, it's excellent, but there are a couple of caveats.
For starters, it relies on Adobe Flash, which is cross platform but a resource hog. Avoid having too many tabs open.
The other issue is that GIF support is lacking, so creating animations is currently not possible.
Still, it is an excellent image editing and creation tool that's easy to use and powerful enough for cool effects.

I am looking for an insert for my Custom Kitchen Hood. I have two in mind. One is ZEPHYR MONSOON I AK9234AS. The other is VENT-A-HOOD MAGIC LUNG BHPSLD. Does anyone have an opinion on these two products or can someone recommend another product? The hood will be on an outside wall and will be vented straight out. Any input would be appreciated. |

I have the Zephyr Monsoon DCBL II model, and have had it about 18 months now. I came from an OTR microwave vent, so this is amazing compared to that. I don't have any other experience with hoods to be honest, but we love this one. I would seriously consider moving up to the DCBL series just to get the LED lights, they are always cool to the touch. Phil |
Good point about the light. Do you find it hard or easy to clean? Also is it very noisy? |
- Posted by philwojo99 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 10:22
Easy to clean, just pop the baffles in to the dishwasher and they come out clean. Just have to wipe them down after to get off any water spots as there are a lot of places for water to collect on them. Wiping down the rest of the unit is a breeze as well. Noise, I don't really have a comparison as I said, first real unit we have ever had. On levels 1-3 it is fine, it is also what we use most. On levels 4-6 it can get a little loud. We only use those for smoky things, like searing a steak in a cast iron pan, or something like that. On 5 and on burst mode (level 6) it is pretty loud, can't stand under it to hold a conversation. But, like I said, we don't use those too often. On 4 it isn't all that bad, but it isn't whisper quiet either. Have had ours about 18 months now and so far so good, really like our choice with it.

Labor of Love by Catia Juliana
This exhibit also provides a tribute wall, showcasing a collection of eclectic, photographic cutout fragments by artist David Joyce (1946-2003) for whom the gallery is named. David was an art instructor at Lane for 25 years and recongnizably known for his monumental flying people mural "Flight Patterns" at the Eugene Airport.
Join our Facebook page and our event on Eugene AGoGo!

New Technology Makes Safety a Sure Thing
A revolutionary new technology developed by engineers at the University of Leicester after over 12 years research promises to make safety a sure thing in equipment as diverse as cars, aircraft and medical equipment.
The new patented technology invented by the researchers has led to the development of a new product family called "RapidiTTy". A company "" TTE Systems Ltd – has been spun out from the University of Leicester to develop and market this product.
TTE Systems Ltd aims to transform the way engineers develop systems which contain "embedded processors". Aircraft, cars, medical equipment and industrial robots are all examples of modern systems which contain such processors. Many of these embedded systems are safety related.
The company believes its new technology can make all the difference between life and death in some scenarios.
Dr. Devaraj Ayavoo, Technical Manager, TTE Systems Ltd, said: "If you are surfing the Web and it takes a few seconds longer than normal to access a particular page, this won't usually matter at all. However, if you put your foot on the brakes in your car, you can't afford to wait "" you need to be sure that the brakes will work immediately. At TTE Systems, our job is to ensure that complex embedded systems always work correctly."
Dr. Michael Pont, CEO of TTE Systems Ltd and Head of the Embedded Systems Laboratory at the University of Leicester, added: "Clearly there are many systems currently in use that are perfectly safe.
"However what is not easy at present is making systems safe and proving that they are safe. Our technology makes it easier to develop systems with predictable behaviour – a key requirement for safe systems.
"In an industry that is geared at developing new systems very quickly, the development of predicable systems has often been ignored and it is in this area that we have specialised.
"Our work involves what are known as "time triggered" "" or TT – designs. The goal with this technology can be stated very simply: In a TT design, we know in advance exactly what the embedded system will be doing at every moment of time during its execution.
"This is a highly innovative approach to system development.
"Our techniques can be applied in a very wide range of systems – even where safety is not a key requirement. For example, in many consumer appliances "" like washing machines, dishwashers, even DVD players "" customers would welcome improved reliability."
TTE Systems Ltd, created with support from the Lachesis Fund (the University Challenge Fund for the East Midlands), has launched the first products in the RapidiTTy family. The RapidiTTy family provides a complete, cost-effective, suite of software tools which support the rapid development and testing of a wide range of reliable embedded systems. The RapidiTTy tools build on a solid technical foundation ("time-triggered architectures"). These were developed in the Embedded Systems Laboratory at the University of Leicester over a period of more than 12 years. Staff in the Laboratory have an international reputation for their work in this area. To date, seven patent applications have been filed in connection with this new technology.
Dr Pont said there was real potential for the systems developed at Leicester to make an international impact: "Our tools make it very easy to incorporate our technology in "standard" development processes.
"Using time-triggered technology allows us to create low-cost tools which facilitate the rapid development of reliable embedded systems. Our goal is to make reliability a cornerstone of mainstream development tools."
Dr. Ayavoo added: "The design of embedded systems is often an extremely complicated process. Our users have been amazed how easy RapidiTTy is to use."

Shell exposed over recycling claims
LONDON - The ASA has upheld two complaints and rejected a third about a Shell press ad, which it said made misleading claims about the energy company's CO2 and sulphur recycling policies.
The ad, which was part of Shell's "Throw away" campaign, featured the strapline "Don't throw anything away, there is no away", and was illustrated by a cartoon silhouette of an oil refinery with flowers coming out of the chimneys.
Accompanying text for the ad, which was aimed at current and new business customers, stated it "used its waste CO2 to grow flowers" and "waste sulphur to make super-strong concrete". These claims that were disputed by the complainant, Friends of the Earth.
Friends of the Earth also complained to the Advertising Standards Authority that Shell's cartoon depiction of flowers coming out of oil refinery chimneys used misleading imagery that implied that oil refineries had a positive environmental impact.
Shell defended the images, saying they showed a world "they wished existed" and that the flowers coming out of the chimney were "unlikely to be interpreted as a literal claim".
The ASA ruled that the images used were "conceptual and fanciful", and that in this context the ad did not mislead the public.
However, the watchdog upheld two further complaints centring on claims made in the Shell ad about the company's environmental record, which implied that it recycled substantially more waste materials than it actually did.
Shell defended the action, citing that it supplied greenhouse growers with 170,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2005; a figure that it expected to rise to 320,000 tonnes by the end of the year.
Friends of The Earth disputed Shell's CO2 recycling record, claiming the annual amount the company recycled represented just 0.325% of Shell's total global yearly emissions.
The ASA said that while it acknowledged Shell used some waste CO2 to grow flowers, the wording of the ad implied that the company used all of its waste CO2 to grow flowers, and ruled that the text breached its rules on truthfulness and environmental claims.
The ASA also upheld a complaint that Shell used waste sulphur to create "super-strong concrete", which was also deemed to have breached its rules of truthfulness and environmental claims.
Shell said its use of sulphur to make concrete was one of a number of environmental initiatives it had embraced in the last 20 years, which the ASA acknowledged, but ruled that the ad's wording implied that it used all of its waste sulphur for this process.
The watchdog said it welcomed Shell's decision to no longer use the ad, and accepted its assurances not do so in the future.

Eye on Safety Tips for Safe Lifting Avoiding costly and painful heavy-lifting injuries Each year, Americans spend at least $50 billion treating low-back pain, the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed work, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes. As we age, our bodies naturally are more inclined to develop low-back problems, starting as early as age 30. Additionally, daily events and habits can accelerate or cause back problems. Those include traumatic events, poor posture, poor physical condition, improper body mechanics, lifting awkward objects and assuming unnatural positions. To avoid costly claims to the employer as well as missed time from work for the employee, workers frequently must review and practice safe-lifting practices.
In addition to remaining cognizant of the aforementioned safe-lifting tips, many other lifestyle habits can help workers maintain back – and overall – health and wellness. Exercise is the best way to prevent back pain and back injury. Working out with a partner or a spouse can increase accountability as well as enjoyment to help implement regular exercise as a lifestyle change. Routine physical activity not only will stave off back injuries, but also is key to recovering from simple strains, aches and pains you might experience. Exercise also can improve overall health and wellness. Be sure to warm up and stretch before all physical activity, including prior to lifting heavy objects. Avoid prolonged, awkward postures during and outside of heavy lifting to avoid injury. Additionally, change positions frequently if sitting or standing in an uncomfortable position. When lifting heavy objects, it's imperative to take time to think about your work tasks and determine if there is a better, safer way of doing them with less risk, or if you need to ask for help. However, if you do encounter back pain, maintain normal activity as much as possible, even when in pain, and avoid bed rest. Gary Zigenfus is senior VP and national therapy director at Concentra.

"Raggedy Ann" is pretty much what you would expect a musical about a rag doll to be – limp.
This is in fact Joe Raposo's second attempt to make a musical out of Raggedy Ann. He wrote the score for an animated film that appeared in 1977. It had one good song, "Rag Dolly," which has been beefed up and included in this stage version. Both suffer from the fact that none of Raposo's various collaborators has come up with an interesting plot.
Maybe it's because Raggedy Ann herself is something of a mystery woman. We learn nothing of her past, nothing about why she came to look and dress like a scarecrow.
At least with Barbie there would be some romantic interest – she has got Ken. Raggedy Ann's only companion is her goony brother, Andy, though she also has a penchant for picking up stray animals (a panda and a camel with wrinkled knees), which makes her seem even more like a bag lady.
The book, by William Gibson, is obsessed with death – Raggedy Ann is trying to save a little girl from dying. While children's stories have frequently dealt with weighty themes, this one veers uneasily between coyness and show biz sleaze. So its attempts to wrestle with death seem superficial and unconvincing.
As Raggedy Ann, Ivy Austin has a remarkable ability to turn her body into a hopeless jumble. She is a fine singer, able to make a boffo number out of "Rag Dolly," even though she has to sing it in a voice so high and piercing it makes Sandy Duncan seem like a basso. Lisa Rieffel is especially appealing as the little girl, and Elizabeth Austin makes the most of her trampy mother. Leo Burmester, Gail Benedict and Gordon Weiss are surprisingly winning as the villains.
Patricia Birch's direction and choreography tend to reinforce the haphazardness of the way the show is put together. There are occasionally some fetching visual moments in which the fanciful sets and costumes are strikingly lit by Marc B. Weiss.
Any little girl who prizes her own Raggedy Ann doll can probably tell better stories about it than this disjointed and distasteful musical.
The trouble with shows that are for children of all ages is that children only come in one age. Children!
People who remain children at heart are emotionally retarded, and I very much fear that they are the kind of people to whom the new musical "Raggedy Ann," which opened at the Nederlander Theater last night, is primarily aimed.
It was really rather awful. Although it should be admitted that it was determinedly well-intentioned and thoroughly professional. At times almost everything seems to be going right for "Raggedy Ann" except for the show itself.
The book is by the well-versed playwright William Gibson, the music and lyrics are by the "Sesame Street" veteran Joe Raposo, who in the past has written for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Kermit the Frog (or was it Kermit Sinatra and Frank the Frog?), and the whole caboodle – and what a caboodle it is – has been directed and choreographed by the multi-talented Patricia Birch.
However, the credits read better than the show.
The story is of Marcella. Her mother runs away, carried off by smooth talk and a fast car, and her father turns to drink.
Soon little Marcella is on her death bed; the doctors can do nothing with her. Her father sobers up sufficiently to make her a Raggedy Ann doll, and the rest is fantasy.
The doll shows Marcella all about love, convinces her that her mother really loved her, that her father will go off the booze, and that life is worth living. She lives.
The story is a little like "Peter Pan," but with more Freud and perhaps less flying. There is even a Captain Hook creature in the shape of General D – a Death figure who seems to have strayed in from Kurt Jooss's ballet "The Green Table."
We have a comic camel for the very young, and hopefully sexy dancing for the rather older. There are a few moderately low-tech special effects, and some spectacular scenery and costumes, provided by Gerry Hariton and Vicki Baral for the first, and Carrie Robbins for the second.
The concept is mawkish, and in its sheer sentimentality potentially offensive to the sensitive. Gibson's book turns out to be unnaturally simple, as if it were a patronizing children's text.
Raposo's music, moreover, proves absolutely painless, tuneful but totally forgettable. It has the savor of yesterday's hamburger to it; you recall that it was mindlessly palatable but totally undistinguished.
Birch, her nature true to her name, whips the show together with awesome efficiency and more imagination than it deserves. A scene in a haunted wood for example (rather terrifying for the kiddier of the kiddiwinks, I should have thought, although, after all, Grimm was pretty grim) is beautifully staged – but to little point.
The performances vary. Probably nothing could be done with the eponymous doll, Raggedy Ann, and if there was, Ivy Austin didn't do it. Equally, Lisa Rieffel seems saccharinely cloying as Marcella, and Bob Morrisey and Elizabeth Austin play the parents (one a drunk, the other a wanton) as the ciphers they are.
The baddies are better, and best of all is Leo Burmester as the wicked, wicked General D.
"Raggedy Ann," which started in Albany and went to Washington, D.C., was sent on a goodwill mission to the Soviet Union in between.
They say the Russians liked it. Fancy that!
The bad news is broken early in Broadway's newest musical, ''Raggedy Ann.'' No sooner does the curtain rise at the Nederlander Theater than the audience is solemnly informed that the heroine's pet canary, Yellow Yum Yum, is dead. One might think that ''Raggedy Ann'' had nowhere to go but up after that, but never underestimate the self-destructive persistence of theater people who just can't bear to part with a terrible idea. Late in Act I, for a production number's sake, they go and bring Yellow Yum Yum back to life.
''Raggedy Ann'' is the musical that, under the title ''Rag Dolly,'' traveled earlier this year to Moscow, where it initiated a new Soviet-American cultural-exchange program. If only the visit had been a few months later, the Americans could have offered to take the show back in exchange for the release of Nicholas Daniloff. This is the kind of kiddies' entertainment in which the words ''heart,'' ''love'' and ''dream'' are plastered over every scene and song, except those that instruct us about the wonders of ''make believe.'' Indeed, a song titled ''Make Believe,'' not to be mistaken for Jerome Kern's, is sung three times in Act I alone.
The musical's creators are not the rank amateurs that the mortifying on-stage chaos, much of it shrouded in dry-ice smoke and carrot-colored wigs, would suggest. The book of ''Raggedy Ann'' is by William Gibson, the distinguished author of ''The Miracle Worker'' and ''Two for the Seesaw.'' The music and lyrics were written by Joe Raposo, a not unsophisticated songwriter known for his contributions to ''Sesame Street'' and the Muppets films. Patricia Birch, the director and choreographer, once made lively contributions to ''Grease'' and ''A Little Night Music.'' But ''Raggedy Ann'' finds all three of these collaborators afflicted by the cutes, which, combined with a low budget and a blue dancing camel even more ubiquitous than Yellow Yum Yum, extinguishes any hope that they might promote their little Ann into an ''Annie.''
Mr. Gibson attempts to construct a fable in the tradition of ''Peter Pan'' and ''The Wizard of Oz.'' His heroine, named Marcella (Lisa Rieffel), journeys from her bed at home to a dreamy never-never land where good and evil battle for command of her soul under the light of a lollipop moon. In the case of ''Raggedy Ann,'' good is represented by the doll of the title (Ivy Austin), a ragamuffin so ''posilutely'' perky that even a Barbie doll might find her a bit much. The bellowing villain, who looks like the bastard offspring of Captain Hook and a wicked witch, goes by the name of General D. The ''D'' stands for ''darkness, decay, dissolution, death'' and, in Leo Burmester's unvaried performance, dull.
What makes the script unpalatable is not so much the old formula Mr. Gibson trots out but his pretentious exploitation of it. ''Raggedy Ann'' is loaded with psychoanalytic subtext -sex, death and even a holocaustal mass grave are always peeking through Marcella's nightmares - but the author apparently considers it beneath him to wrap his highfalutin message in a coherent, let alone exciting, story. Instead we get some confusing incidents about a search for ''a doll doctor,'' interspersed with clinical fantasy sequences that spell out Marcella's adolescent woes without ever reimagining them in the transporting terms of myth. The inert results, by turns incomprehensible and depressing, suggest what might have happened if L. Frank Baum had undergone Jungian analysis - or if a playwright decided to dramatize a Bruno Bettelheim exegesis of a fairy tale rather than the tale itself.
Relief is not provided by Mr. Raposo, who seems to have used the occasion of his Broadway debut as an excuse for auditioning a trunk load of faceless pop songs. The score and lyrics of ''Raggedy Ann'' are so generic that they could have been written for any mediocre musical, not just this specific one. Among the more egregious examples of the shameless song plugging are a boogie-woogie number titled ''Welcome to L.A.'' - which unaccountably yanks ''Raggedy Ann'' into California late in Act II - and a ''Whatever Lola Wants'' derivative in which a big-breasted bat suddenly materializes to render Raggedy Andy randy. The musical's most persistent ditty, inevitably if pointlessly dictated by the title character's name, is a rag. Between ''Rags'' and ''Raggedy Ann,'' this is fast becoming the most ragged Broadway musical season in memory.
Rather than camouflage the show's many frailties, Ms. Birch flaunts them. Her performers are either bland or broad, whether the characters be humans, dolls or the slavishly ''Cats''-like bats. As choreographer, Ms. Birch expends all her energy in an opening sequence in which white-gloved chorus dancers, impersonating Bob Fosse's minstrels in ''Pippin,'' make much suspenseful ado about revealing the production's scenery to the audience. Why bother? The few mean scraps of set that finally emerge, most of them blackish blue or muddy brown, all too literally announce the bruising evening that's in store.
Following that, the most extravagant dance number is a sequence set in heaven in which Ms. Birch demonstrates what Busby Berkeley might have done if he had only a half-dozen dancers and several celestial Hula-Hoops at his disposal. Having been subjected to such interstellar indignities in ''Raggedy Ann,'' is it any wonder that Moscow drew the line at ''Star Wars''?

Church of Scientology opens in Florence
FLORENCE, Ky. - The controversial Church of Scientology has opened its doors to the public in Florence.
It's been a 10 year project that has cost millions of dollars. The Church of Scientology of Greater Cincinnati is home to 10,000 parishioners from across the Tri-State.
It stands on a 3-acre campus and is 50,000 square feet.
The former home of Florence Baptist Church has been transformed. The Public Information Center is the first thing you see when you enter the Church of Scientology.
"We have over 500 documentary and informational videos and displays that people can actually come in and find out well, what is Scientology," explained representative Erin Banks.
Scientologists call their beliefs an applied religious philosophy. They believe in God, but Jesus isn't a part of their scripture, and prayer isn't a part of their Sunday services.
"It's practical solutions to every day life problems. We're all about empowering people and enabling them to be more self-determined and able to grow themselves as a spirit and as an individual," said Banks.
The church says they haven't faced any opposition yet. Florence Christian Church sits across the street. The senior minister at that church says she hasn't had much interaction with their new neighbors, but she's curious about what happens inside the Church of Scientology.
The former Church of Scientology in Cincinnati has moved their operations to the Florence building.
Scientologists have been practicing in the Tri-State for almost 40 years.

special education
special education
Education for students (such as the physically or mentally disabled) with special needs. An early proponent of education for the blind was Valentin Haüy, who opened a school in Paris in 1784; his efforts were followed by those of Louis Braille. Attempts to educate deaf children predate Haüy, but not until Friedrich Moritz Hill (1805–74) developed an oral method of instruction did teaching to the deaf become established. The development of standardized sign languages further advanced instruction of the deaf. Scientific attempts to educate mentally retarded children began with the efforts of Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard (1775–1838) to train a feral child known as the Wild Boy of Aveyron; Itard's work influenced such later theorists as Édouard Séguin (1812–80) and Maria Montessori. Children with motor disabilities, once considered subjects for special education, are usually integrated into the standard classroom, often by means of wheelchairs and modified desks. Children with learning disabilities and speech problems usually require specialized techniques, often on an individual basis. For children with behavioral and emotional disorders, special therapeutic and clinical services may be provided.

Tuesday, August 07
Tropicana Field
Attendance: 13,823
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - James Shields pitched eight solid frames and Tampa Bay welcomed back star third baseman Evan Longoria with a 4-1 victory over Toronto to open a three-game set.
Longoria returned from a lengthy hiatus after suffering a partially torn hamstring on April 30 with the mounting pressure of boasting a stagnant offense in the throes of a 21-inning scoreless streak. He was the designated hitter and batted clean-up, and finished 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly.
Shields (10-7) surrendered just one run on two hits with six strikeouts and one walk. Fernando Rodney struggled with his command at times, but escaped the ninth unscathed to post his 33rd save. In the process, Rodney extended his scoreless-inning streak to 22, a new franchise record for a relief pitcher.
"The guys had a little different spark today," Shields said. "I don't know if it's because Longo is back. We swung the bats well today and made some good contact early on."
Desmond Jennings had two hits and scored twice for the Rays, who snapped a two-game slide.
J.A. Happ (0-1), making his first start as a Blue Jay after four relief appearances, surrendered four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk over 4 1/3 frames. Colby Rasmus homered for Toronto, which saw a brief two-game winning streak come to an end. They've lost seven of their last nine games.
The Rays struck first in the second with Ryan Roberts' two-out double followed by Sean Rodriguez's looping run-scoring single to right. They added two more in the third, kicking off the frame with Jennings' single and B.J. Upton's ground-rule double that hopped over the wall down the right-field line.
After a walk to Ben Zobrist, Longoria got into the action with a sacrifice fly to right. Jeff Keppinger followed suit with one to left for a 3-0 lead after three frames.
The Blue Jays got one of the runs back on Rasmus' shot to right in the fourth, but Tampa Bay again amassed a three-run cushion in the fifth when Jennings doubled to left and scored on Zobrist's two-bagger to right.
Shields took over from there. He didn't give up a hit after Rasmus' blast and allowed just two baserunners, one via walk and the other hit by a pitch.

Gisele, Heidi and Angelina Outperforming the Dow
Seeking Alpha.com reports that abs mistress Gisele Bundchen, Emmy nominee Heidi Klum, and Angelina Jolie are so successful at what they do, their celebrity stock indexes are outperforming the Dow.
To hell with Apple; invest in them!
The beauteous three have all had celebrity stock indexes created for them by Stockpickr.com.
"Over the last six months, Gisele Bündchen's index was up 1.6%, Heidi Klum's index was down only 0.7%, and Angelina Jolie's index was down 10%, yet all were better than the Dow, which was down 10.3%," Seeking Alpha.com reports.
Indexes for the two models and saintly earth mother actress are based on the companies they are connected to, for example—acting as a celebrity spokesperson.

The Moroccan, who has just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations where his country were knocked out in the group stage, believes the Villans can ease their relegation fears
Aston Villa midfielder Karim El Ahmadi has expressed his belief that the Villans can move up the Premier League table away from the relegation zone.The Moroccan missed the entirety of his side's January fixture list due to featuring at the Africa Cup of Nations, but is keen to make an instant impact upon returning.
"It was hard to be away last month because Villa had some very big games coming up and I wanted to play in them," he told the club's official website.
"If your country calls you, though, you cannot say no. I was fit and I was ready to play for Morocco.
"But I watched the highlights of every Villa game while I was there. It was really disappointing that we didn't get to Wembley in the Capital One Cup because being involved in the final would have been a great prize for me in my first season here.
"But now we have to focus on the league. I believe we can climb the table because we have so many good players. The way we created the goals at Everton showed what we are capable of.
"Now we have to win more games."
The 28-year-old previously plied his trade in the Netherlands along with team-mates Brett Holman and Ron Vlaar, and he says their presence has helped him get used to playing in England.
"I played alongside Ron for Holland U18s so we have known each other a long time," he added.
"We also played against each other quite a lot, then I signed for Feyenoord and we played together there for three-and-a-half years. We have a good relationship so it was good that he came here.
10/11 | Aston Villa are 10/11 with Coral to be relegated |
"The younger players are very professional and they work hard. The future of Villa is going to be good with players like that.
"I can give them some advice because I've played a lot of games throughout my career, even though the game is different here from football in Holland.
"The speed of Premier League football is much higher and it's much more physical, but I'm getting used to that."

Public Service Announcement: WIM's modem sounds are a joke
When you log into the game today, and if you're updated to the latest version, you'll hear a modem sound ring across your speakers. This is a joke, this is only a joke, and you have no need to be alarmed.
We've gotten many tips in about this, mainly people thinking that it's the Confiker virus which was supposed to start today. Well, it's not. And from the look of things Confiker is bust too (at least for now). So you're safe and okay, and can be angry that you've been had by an add-on author. Or just laugh about it, which is what I've done.
The author has even come out and said this is a joke, and is offering an apology to anyone upset by this.

.- The pro-family group Fathers for Good is announcing the launch of online resources for Catholics as the U.S. Church gears up to celebrate Respect Life Month in October.
"Every Catholic father should be a protector and promoter of human life in all its stages," Brian Caulfield, site editor, told CNA on Sept. 28.
"It is important for us to learn what the Church teaches on the important life issues so we can hand these truths on to our children."
Fathers for Good will post a different pro-life resource each week on its site, www.fathersforgood.org, starting with a recent statement from Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, chair of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities.
Cardinal DiNardo said in a Sept. 26 letter that Respect Life Month is a time for prayer, reflection and action to advance the right to life and to resist efforts that "silence" moral truth and violate religious liberty.
The Respect Life program began in 1972 and is observed in the 195 Catholic dioceses in the U.S. It begins on Respect Life Sunday, the first Sunday in October.
"Catholics must not shrink from the obligation to assert the values and principles we hold essential to the common good," the cardinal said, "beginning with the right to life of every human being and the right of every woman and man to express and live by his or her religious beliefs and well-formed conscience."
Caulfield explained that the Knights of Columbus started the Fathers for Good initiative in 2008 to help men strengthen their marriages and families. The site features regular articles, videos and other multimedia on the subject of Christian fatherhood.
A father of two young boys, Caulfield writes on what he called "the spiritual truths found in daily life and the issues men face while striving to live out their vocation."

Jurors in Longview will hear this morning that inadequate latches allowed two Kilgore firefighters in a whiplashing aerial bucket to break through its doors and fall to their deaths.
Design engineer Kirk Rosenhan, who has served on national firefighter equipment standards panels, also will testify a far superior latch was in common use in 2008 when Kilgore bought the fateful ladder truck for its fire department.
A training exercise in January 2009, weeks after taking delivery of the 95-foot ladder truck, cost the lives of firefighters Kyle Perkins and Cory Galloway. Perkins' widow, Linda, her mother-in-law and the couple's two children are suing the maker and retailer of the specialized firetruck.
The four-man, eight-woman jury will know what Rosenhan is talking about after seeing the ladder platform, or bucket, during a field trip Thursday afternoon to East Whaley Street, where it was parked.

The sudden disappearance of what was once the world's largest bitcoin exchange—and all of the bitcoins "contained" therein—is apparently not a good reason to stop speculating in fake currencies.
Bitcoin rose 7.3% to $573.53 Wednesday from Tuesday's close on the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index, which takes into account prices on the Bitstamp and BTC-e bitcoin exchanges. The CoinDesk bitcoin price index was in the $400s early Tuesday after it became apparent that trading on Mt. Gox had been halted.
About that: Japanese authorities are of two minds about whether they are moved by the plight of two white guys who flew to Tokyo to protest in front of the building that did/does house Mt. Gox headquarters.
"At this stage the relevant financial authorities, the police, the Finance Ministry and others are gathering information on the case," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a regular news conference when asked about Tuesday's shutdown of the Tokyo-based exchange….
Japan's Financial Services Agency and Finance Ministry told Reuters on Tuesday that they do not have jurisdiction over Mt. Gox after the exchange's website went down and efforts to reach company officials failed. The Bank of Japan said it had nothing to add to a comment by Governor Haruhiko Kuroda that the central bank was "very interested" in bitcoin.
Aren't unregulated, unrecognized, unsupported, intangible "currencies" great? In any event, if the Japanese get a little curious about what's going on—and there are signs they are—they can just give Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles a call. He, of course, won't say anything, but it will at the very least confirm that he has not run off to Tahiti with a "pile" of other people's bitcoins.
"I would like to use this opportunity to reassure everyone that I am still in Japan," he said. "Furthermore I would like to kindly ask that people refrain from asking questions to our staff: they have been instructed not to give any response or information."
This is not likely to make Preet Bharara—who apparently had an inkling something was afoot in crypto-currency-land—very happy.
Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox has received a subpoena from federal prosecutors in New York, according to a person familiar with the matter, dealing another blow to the embattled marketplace for buyers and sellers of the virtual currency.
Mt. Gox, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, shut down on Tuesday, underscoring the risks of bitcoin, the virtual currency that has seen a meteoric rise in the past year. The subpoena was sent this month and asked Mt. Gox to preserve certain documents among other things, the person said.

Mark: Alright so when the sub routine compounds the interest, it uses all these extra decimal places that just get rounded off. So we simplified the whole thing, we rounded them all down, drop the remainder into an account we opened.
Preet: [Confused] So you're stealing?
Mark: Ah no, you don't understand. It's very complicated. It's uh it's aggregate, so I'm talking about fractions of a penny here. And over time they add up to a lot.

David, a college student, takes a summer job at a run-down family resort in a dying English resort town. This is against the wishes of his family . . . because it was at this resort where David's biological father disappeared fifteen years… (plus)
The Ghost in the Electric Blue Suit isn't a typical ghost story; Joyce's mix of the mundane and the magical here might not tip far enough to the latter for some of his fans.

Get the mode vector
int_T *ssGetModeVector(SimStruct *S)
Use to obtain a pointer to the mode vector. This vector has length ssGetNumModes(S). Typically, this vector is initialized in mdlInitializeConditions if the default value of 0 isn't acceptable. It is then used in mdlOutputs, in conjunction with nonsampled zero crossings, to determine when the output function should change mode. For example, consider an absolute value function. When the input is negative, negate it to create a positive value; otherwise, take no action. This function has two modes. The output function should be designed not to change modes during minor time steps. You can also use the mode vector in the mdlZeroCrossings routine to determine the current mode.
