One of the defining artists of American Abstract Expressionism, Frankenthaler was born in New York in 1928. Trained at Bennington College and with Wallace Harrison and Hans Hofmann, Frankenthaler is concerned with developing a close relationship between image and surface and with the specifics of the medium of paint. One of Frankenthaler's favored techniques, staining the canvas with the pigment and allowing the different layers to show through, has become a quintessential characteristic of Abstract Expressionism in general, and her work in particular.

People normally think of a chronological résumé as the "standard" résumé, but there are many different kinds of résumés, and each serves a different purpose. If you happen to be changing careers, have a gap in employment, or want to better customize your résumé for a particular job, you should consider using what's called a functional résumé, rather than a chronological one.

Alexander Rossi will make Le Mans 24-hour debut with Greaves Motorsport
May 15, 2013, 5:00 PM EST
Alexander Rossi's month of June just got a bit busier with the announcement Wednesday he will make his debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, June 22-23. Rossi will race in the No. 41 Greaves Motorsport Zytek Nissan in the LMP2 class, with co-drivers Tom Kimber-Smith and Eric Lux. The American replaces Christian Zugel, a businessman and amateur driver, in the team's lineup. Zugel's family and business commitments will prevent his participation in this year's race.
Rossi, 21, will participate in free practice one at the Canadian Grand Prix for Caterham, where he is one of the team's two reserve drivers, on June 7. Le Mans is a week-plus event with the pre-race test day on June 9, scrutineering (technical inspection) the following Sunday and Monday and track activity beginning Wednesday, June 19.
"We are sorry to lose Christian from our Le Mans lineup, he has been an integral part of the team over the past two seasons and brings many elements from his business world that have helped us," said team manager Jacob Greaves. "We are fortunate to have signed a driver of Alexander's caliber and we are confident that we can combine our strengths to challenge for the LMP2 class victory at 90th anniversary Le Mans 24 Hours."
A host of former Formula One and IndyCar pilots will be in the 56-car field for the race. Greaves had a car with Martin Brundle and son Alex a year ago, who co-drove with Lucas Ordonez.

Police officers who died in the line of duty were remembered at the Nelson police station yesterday.
Nelson Bays area commander Inspector Steve Greally said Police Remembrance Day was about paying respect to those police officers who died and to their families.
It was also about acknowledging the inherent dangers of police work. It was the police equivalent of a mini Anzac Day, he said. "It's a hell of a sacrifice our people have made . . . it shows just how dangerous the job can be, in that you leave for work in the morning with all intention of coming back to your family, and sometimes that doesn't happen."
Retired Nelson police officers also attended yesterday's short service.
"It's very very good to have them here. They are an important part of this. They've been here and done that, although times have changed. I think it's more dangerous these days."
The service also paid tribute to police dogs killed while working.
During yesterday's service the New Zealand police flag was lowered to half mast while a minute's silence was observed. Earlier Nelson's newest recruit, Constable Micaela Rolton, and Senior Sergeant John Price read the names of officers killed while serving.
Police staff and others this week are wearing a distinctive huia feather-shaped Police Remembrance Pin to remember those who lost their lives protecting society.
Officers killed in the line of duty were also remembered at the annual Australasian and South Pacific Police Remembrance Day Service at The Royal New Zealand Police College yesterday.
No police officers were slain in the line of duty last year. A total of 81 serving and former staff members were remembered at yesterday's service.
The Governor-General, Sir Jerry Mateparae, Police Minister Anne Tolley, Commissioner Peter Marshall, and Deputy Commissioners Viv Rickard and Mike Bush attended the national service, along with representatives of high commissions and embassies from Europe and the South Pacific.

A simple query about the quirky 'sport' of Competitive Tickling led journalist David Farrier on a very strange journey. Read more
A simple query about the quirky 'sport' of Competitive Tickling led journalist David Farrier on a very strange journey.
David Farrier and The Tickle Friends
Project by David Farrier and The Tickle Friends
First created | 1 backed
About this project
Thanks to everyone who's supported us! We've reached our target!
We can't wait to tell this story and we're really excited to bring it to you all!
You can keep an eye on the project at TickleKing.com and on our Facebook page!
My name is David Farrier.
At the moment I'm in a show on Netflix with Rhys Darby, it's called Short Poppies. In the show I play a journalist. It wasn't hard because that's what I am.
Usually I report on quirky and odd stories for New Zealand's TV3.
A month ago a friend sent me a link to a website. It was offering young men from all over the world a paid trip to LA, accommodation in a 5-star hotel and thousands of dollars cash - an in exchange for a just a little on-camera tickling.
It was called "Competitive Tickling".
It sounds too good to be true, but it was all real. The company had been making videos for some time. They're free to watch on Vimeo.
Even better, some New Zealanders had taken part - perfect for my quirky little story.
I've seen a lot of odd stuff. This definitely seemed odd.
And while everyone was fully clothed… in Adidas sports gear... it all seemed a little bit gay. We'll come back to that point shortly.
Fascinated, I reached out - first by email.
They told me they'd have to consult with their legal team. I didn't hear back, so posted on their Facebook page, calling out to New Zealanders who had taken part.
Debbie from "Jane O'Brien Media" replied, saying, "To be brutally frank, association with a homosexual journalist is not something that we will embrace".
A bizarre trail of emails began between myself, Jane O'Brien herself, and their PR person Debbie - all becoming increasingly homophobic - and all over me wanting to do a story about the very straight activity of young, attractive men tickling each other.
(That was me being a bit sarcastic there.)
Me and some friends began to dig around, suspecting something was fishy.
It was.
What we found was a strange pattern of shaming, blackmail and online exploitation.
What were Debbie and Jane up to?
Well, we started looking into their online presence - soon it all led back to man: "Norman Van Der Koos"
A bit more digging, and Norman seemed more likely to be a 53 year old man we like to call The Tickle King.
This is where things get good.
The Tickle King was arrested by the FBI back in 2001 after a 3 year investigation. He'd been posing online as a young woman called Terri, recruiting young men for tickling videos.
The Tickle King was also known for tormenting people online and impersonating other people.
He was jailed for 6 months and fined five thousand dollars.
Now - more than 10 years later - it seems he's back.
I wrote about all this for 3News here in New Zealand.. and as I wrote.. more and more people came out of the woodwork.
Now I want to make a documentary about all this.
The competitive tickling shoots are still going on in Los Angeles.
I need to get there with a crew and talk to those in the tickling scene, annoyed this old nightmare was resurfaced.
I want to track down Jane and Debbie and the elusive Tickle King.
I want to talk to a host of other people involved in this story. From other tickling-video makers, to tickle-porn directors, to the people who now find themselves subject to a raft of online abuse just because they got tickled for an hour.
The money we're asking for will get us to the USA for a week or two to chase this story down and interview those involved.
Back at home in New Zealand, it will let me talk New Zealanders who have been burnt by all this.
All the groundwork and research has been done - and it's ongoing - pages and pages and pages of it.
Names and connections that are far too complex to go into here.
I just need to add some visuals to this story - a story that seems to have captured people's imaginations.
From reddit to podcasts this last week alone has been madness.
This is a story about fake identities
...and Blackmail
This is a story about tickling.
Risks and challenges
The reality is that our investigation so far means that the people behind Jane O'Brien Media know we're on to them (even more so once they see this project). There's a real chance they shut up shop and go to ground.
The bad news is that would mean almost no chance of finding or talking to those involved in running the company.
The good news is that probably wouldn't matter too much. This story is crazy enough and there are enough people on the periphery that we can tell the tale even without the tickle masters themselves.
We are experienced in journalism and film-making so regardless of the eventualities we have no doubt that we'll produce a film at the end of this. And we believe it'll make for pretty entertaining viewing!
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
Yeah, exactly! That's why we need to make this documentary.
Not at all. Lots of people are into all sorts of different things, and we're totally cool with that.
We've actually had quite strong support from members of the tickling community and plan to interview a number of them for the film. Many of them are not fans of Jane O'Brien Media and 'The Tickle King'
Some people seem to think this is a joke, or a parody, or something. It definitely isn't. Everything we've said about it here and in the related articles and blog posts is entirely for real. We are going to get on a plane, fly to the US and make all this into a documentary.
We've certainly uncovered the biggest aspects of the stories in our posts online, but part of the reason we decided to make the documentary is that we started to find even more information and hear from people who'd been affected by 'The Tickle King'. It was all getting a little too complex to cover in text.
The documentary will obviously cover the story as we've written about it, but it will go beyond that, and further in depth on some things as well.
We've heard from a couple of people that they may be, but we can't verify that.
We are not yet exploring any distribution. Once we get further on in the production we will explore our options more for exhibition and distribution.
At the very least we will make it available for streaming/download online through one or more service for anyone who wants to watch it.
Of course it's possible we're mistaken, although we really don't think that's the case.

A Personal Choice
I have met some wonderful people and I have met some who are far from nice
Suppose the type of person that you or I are with us is a personal choice
We can be arrogant and judgemental that is if we do wish to be
Or we can be loving and caring at least that's how it seems to me
There isn't any excuse for racism or for putting another person down
Though no shortage of racists and xenophobics since they do live in every town
But no shortage as well of good people I'm lucky I meet them every day
People who are generous and kindhearted and of others ill never do say
'Tis easy for to be judgemental and judge not and thou shalt not be judged seems so true
What goes around always does come around we receive from life what is our due
Treat others as you'd like them to treat you and you will be doing okay
Those who do wrong to other people to karma the price have to pay
With those who say we can choose the type of person that we are I cannot say I disagree
If I choose for to disrespect somebody that person will not respect me.

I've consistently worked on projects of interest and the company is very generous in providing training opportunities.
Great work life balance.ConsThere are advancement opportunities, but it will take time. There is not a high degree of associate turnover, so in the higher levels it will take longer for new openings to appear.
Advice to ManagementAdviceContinue to prvoide training opportunities for associates and try to find ways to let them grown & use their skills.

I have been working at T. Rowe Price
ProsThe young co-workers. Great place to meet new people in the low to mid 20's. Almsot like a structured College Campus. However, management is much older but they stay to themselves. If you are young and not too concerned with salary starting out, but want a job with alot of cool people to hang out with, this fits the bill.
ConsNo advancement whatsoever. If you start at the entry level and are satisfied making $30K a year for the rest of your career with minor raises, then this is the job. No different than being a teller at a bank. You will make low 30's and have job security as long as you don't get bored with the phones, and trust me, you are on the phone ALL DAY! I suspect most people move on to other Financial Firms after a few years. The draw is the "Trowe" name and it appeals to the young people and they exploit it, but the work is pretty repetitive so someones gotta do it.
Advice to ManagementAdviceIncrease our pay!!!! Take home pay of $334 Net is too low!

Despite uncertainties surrounding the population status of the protected Atlantic Goliath Grouper's, fishery managers in Florida are under pressure to end the harvest moratorium in place since 1990. A new study published this month in the scientific journal, Fisheries Research, sought to measure the proportion of anglers interested in reopening the Goliath Grouper fishery and to identify key reasons for this interest. The authors also estimated the amount that anglers would be willing to pay for a Goliath Grouper harvest tag (the right sold to an angler to harvest one Goliath Grouper). REEF data on Goliath Grouper were used to compare with the fishermen-perceived grouper population trends. REEF data have been cited as the best available index of abundance for Goliath Grouper in Florida (see Koenig et al., 2011, www.REEF.org/db/publications/9754). The study found that about half of Florida's recreational anglers believe that the ban on fishing for Goliath Grouper should be lifted, with many anglers reporting that they feel "there are too many goliath grouper and that their populations need to be controlled." These anglers are willing to pay between $34 and $79 for the right to harvest one Goliath Grouper in Florida.
As fishery managers work to determine the future of Goliath Grouper in Florida and the rest of the southeast United States, this study's findings can help them better understand stakeholder intentions and better communicate to the public. Additionally, fishery managers can compare the amount of money recreational anglers are willing to pay to open the fishery to the amount of money other stakeholders, such as recreational divers who visit goliath grouper, are willing to pay to keep the fishery closed. The new paper is titled "Lifting the goliath grouper harvest ban: Angler perspectives and willingness to pay", and was published by Geoffrey Shideler, a scientist at Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science University of Miami, and colleagues from NOAA Fisheries. Visit www.REEF.org/db/publications to see this and all of the scientific publications that have included REEF Volunteer Fish Survey Project data.
On Saturday, July 14th, seventy members of the REEF Sustainers Club (annual donors of $1,000 or more), key partners and long-time REEF friends convened in Key Largo, Florida to celebrate fourteen years of REEF accomplishments over some diving and a sunset dinner. Paul Humann, Ned DeLoach and other Board, staff and Advisory Panel members were on hand to lead guests on some spectacular morning REEF survey dives while Amy Slate and her stand-up staff at the Amoray Dive Resort generously hosted the lodging and dinner party. "The event was just beautiful." Said long-time REEF surveyor Elaine Morden, of Homestead, Florida. "It was great to connect with old REEF friends and see some new faces."
The bi-annual Sustainers Event is a chance for REEF to bring together important members of the REEF family to thank them for their contributions and share successes of the organization over the years. This year, REEF was proud to recognize Linda Schillinger for achieving one of the highest REEF honors: admission into the Golden Hamlet club for those who have conducted 1,000 or more REEF surveys. We were also proud to recognize Key Largo resident and REEF office volunteer Audrey Smith for nearly ten years of regular service to the organization by quality-checking survey scanforms before they are uploaded to the REEF database. REEF was itself bestowed with an honor by Sanctuary Friends of the Florida Keys Director Glenn Patton: SFFFK generously gave a gift of support for the Great Annual Fish Count this year to help underwrite the costs of public outreach and education events.
By virtue of a Paul presentation and applause vote, the group answered the perennial question "What is the most beautiful fish in the Caribbean?" Out of thirty possibilities ranging from the spotfin hogfish to the fairy basslet, the spotted eagle ray won a narrow victory over close rivals the queen angelfish and queen triggerfish. Ned enthralled the group with fish behavior anecdotes from as far afield as Indonesia and gave updates on valuable REEF programs ranging from the Grouper Moon Project to the Exotics Species Sightings Project.
All agreed that the only thing hotter than the event itself was the Florida sun in July. With the heat index topping 100 degrees, no one needed a better excuse to indulge in a new REEF-inspired cocktail, the Indigo Hamlet, a unique and diversified alcoholic concoction for our wonderful sustainers to imbibe in while enjoying the sunset! Many thanks to all who made this a Sustainers Weekend to remember. See you at the next one . . .

REEF once again participated in the Perigee Environmental's yearly evaluation of the coral ecosystems along the eastern coast of Andros, Bahamas in cooperation with the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC). Using the newest Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) surveying protocol, scientists gathered coral, benthic and fish data during the first 2 weeks of October. The data gathered will complement the existing 30 year data that demonstrates AUTEC's continuing efforts to preserve coral reefs around their facilities and military training ranges. Judy Lang, coral ecology expert, and Chris Moses, University of Southern Florida graduate student, were in charge of gathering the coral data. Brooke Gintert was conducting her Ph.D. work for the University of Miami and assisting with the benthic data collection. One of the REEF founders, Ken Marks and REEF intern Catherine Whitaker were responsible for the fish counting.
AUTEC has been actively monitoring and protecting the coral reef near shore environment since the establishment of the facilities in the 1960s. For the last six years, AUTEC has used the Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment surveying protocol, which is a method that compares the complex relationship among corals, fish and algae and provides a quantitative scale on the health of a reef's ecosystem by comparing the survey results in terms of a regional comparison. In this case, it is also being used to track temporal changes to 35 reef sites around central Andros. Point-count data and general coral data were collected to estimate coral condition and algal cover. Fish variety, abundance, and size was estimated by transects and the rover diver method.
For more information concerning this trip or AGRRA please contact Patricia Kramer of Perigee Environmental (email@example.com).
Top ten things I learned from my AGRRA trip:
10. Exhaustion is a state of mind and is not cured by more work, less sleep and diving. Food (especially Pringles and chocolate) helps though.
9. Golf carts should be used more often in the US.
8. Dinner waits for no man, so floor the pedal on that golf cart and RUN!
7. The floating pier at site 1 is cursed and sets off the rain whenever any member of the AGRRA trip steps on it to load or unload anything from the boat.
6. Snakes do not belong on planes, I mean, in camera cases but seem to like it there.
5. Crashing mountainous waves and cement-like waters are not conducive to good science or a pleasant dive.
4. Post-trip pep talks should always include sweets and beverages.
3. Rick makes the barren rock that is Site 4 look and feel like Club Med. Thanks Rick.
2. Things to do on your only day off (because of 30 knot winds and 6ft waves) include but are not limited to swimming against a raging outgoing tide at a blue hole, resting by snorkeling for 2 hours in an inland blue hole, spearing lionfish, dissecting said lionfish and having a horseshoe tournament.
1. Making new friends, doing science and experiencing a sense of accomplishment for conservation efforts... priceless.
My warmest wishes go out to our AUTEC liaisons, Tom Szlyk and Marc Ciminello for their invaluable assistance. I would also like to thank everyone who put in extra effort so that I could participate in this fantastic trip as well as anyone who taught me anything while I was on it. Thank you very much.
REEF Director of Science, Dr. Christy Pattengill-Semmens, joined a dozen other scientists in presenting the findings of monitoring the marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Channel Islands, California, earlier this month during a special session of the California Islands Symposium. The presentation highlighted the effect of reserves on common nearshore rocky reef fishes based on 10 years of REEF survey data. During this time, REEF volunteer divers have collected 1,595 visual fish surveys from 113 sites throughout the Channel Islands before and after state marine reserves were established in 2002. Using analysis methods developed to analyze volunteer bird watching data, collaborators Dr. Brice Semmens (NOAA NMFS) and Dr. Steve Katz (Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary) developed a model to detect trends in fish densities. The analysis included 25 species of common rocky reef fishes, including targeted and non-targeted species. Rather than focusing on changes in the density of individual species, the analysis evaluated changes in multiple species to characterize responses of marine communities to protection from fishing in reserves. The analysis suggests that reserves are positively influencing fish population trajectories in both targeted and non-targeted species. On average, fish populations had ~20% higher growth rates inside reserves as compared to outside, although there was a high degree of variability across species. Dr. Pattengill-Semmens notes that this study is one of the first applications of Pacific region REEF data for use by marine resource agency officials to evaluate the effects of management actions. The results will ultimately be published and will join the many existing published studies of the utility of Tropical Western Atlantic REEF data. The cumulative impact of the data and results from the entire suite of monitoring programs being conducted around the Channel Islands will "help to inform future management of the region, aid in the implementation of the California Marine Life Protection Act in southern California, and contribute to our understanding of MPAs worldwide," said John Ugoretz, manager of the Marine Habitat Conservation Program for the California Department of Fish and Game. To find out more about REEF monitoring activities in the Channel Islands, visit the Channel Islands project webpage.
REEF will separate our online dataentry interface for New England region from the tropical western Atlantic (TWA) where it currently resides, in the coming month. Just in time for the Great Annual Fish Count, for more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 305-852-0030. We hope that this will facilitate an increase in the New England region survey efforts starting this summer. In the next few weeks, login at http://www.reef.org/dataentry/login.php and you will be able to select New England for uploading New England fish surveys. There are a few New England members who are willing to assist and guide those REEF members who are interested in participating in New England surveys.
REEF staff and volunteers are attending several events in the Northwest this winter and spring to spread the word about the Volunteer Survey Project. These include scientific conferences and dive shows. REEF volunteer and instructor, Janna Nichols, represented REEF at the Puget Sound Georgia Basin (PSGB) Ecosystem Conference last month in Seattle, Washington. Over 1,000 scientists, decision-makers and others attended the PSGB and the overall conference theme was to share knowledge and commit to action to protect the region's marine environment. Janna presented posters on two of REEF's important programs in the Pacific Northwest, tracking the presence and spread of invasive tunicates and the long-term monitoring of sub-tidal fish and invertebrates in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.
If you weren't able to attend the PSGB Conference, REEF is participating in two upcoming events in Washington. The first is a workshop organized by the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) and others, "Exploring the Spectrum of Citizen Science". The workshop is being held April 10-11 at Fort Wordon State Park and will bring together many citizen science practitioners to discuss what make successful programs. Later that month, come visit the REEF booth at the Northwest Dive and Travel Expo in Tacoma, April 25 & 26th. REEF volunteers and Director of Science, Dr. Christy Pattengill-Semmens, will be at the booth to spread the word about REEF. We'll have survey materials and guide books on hand and will be presenting a seminar, "REEF: Diving That Counts" on Saturday afternoon at 2pm. See you there!
The REEF Pacific Region, which includes California through British Columbia, continues to be one of our most active areas. This is thanks to funding support from several West Coast foundations as well as partnerships with some great organizations. REEF survey and identification training opportunities abound, long-term monitoring projects in several National Marine Sanctuaries continue, the number of REEF Expert surveyors is increasing, and REEF data and projects are being presented at conferences and used by scientists and agencies. REEF greatly appreciates the continued support of several West Coast funders, including The Russell Family Foundation and the Sustainable Path Foundation, as well as our dedicated volunteers for making this continued success possible. If you are in the Pacific Northwest, check out the REEF PNW Critter Watchers webpage, which connects area REEF surveyors for training and surveying opportunities.
There's still space in some of the fish and invertebrate identification and REEF survey training classes being held next month in Southern California. Classes will be held June 24, 25 and 26 in Dana Point and Long Beach. To find out more, see this article in last month's REEF-in-Brief. Classes are informative, fun and free, but registration is required. To register go to: http://www.pnwscuba.com/critterwatchers/calclasses.htm.

An executive with a prominent national health care company and his wife have purchased an oceanfront home in Jacksonville Beach.
Donald and Ann Casey of Dublin, Ohio, paid $3.95 million for an oceanfront home in South Jacksonville Beach, between 33rd and 34th avenues south on Ocean Drive. The seller was Robert and Linda Bruce.
Donald Casey is CEO of the medical segment division of Cardinal Health Inc., a distributor of health care supplies to pharmacies, hospitals and doctors' offices. Cardinal is one of the chief competitors of the former PSS World Medical Inc. and the medical-surgical division of McKesson Corp., which PSS was merged into after McKesson acquired the company.
Casey said in an email Tuesday that the home is "purely a personal transaction."
"We have lived in Jacksonville before and loved the area," he wrote, "and still have a lot of family and friends on the First Coast."
The two-story, 5,650-square-foot home was built in 1992, according to Duval County property records. It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. It last sold for $2.6 million in 2005.
Jacksonville Beach real estate prices have been on the rise for several years, and several speculative homes and multifamily projects are planned or under construction.
