Latest update : 2013-11-21
Today on the net: Google and Microsoft join forces to combat child pornography; help for victims of the Illinois tornadoes in the US; and you can now take a trip around Venice from the comfort of your own home.
Google and Microsoft join hands to stop child porn
Google and Microsoft, with the backing of the British government, have joined forces to develop new software to prevent links to child sex abuse material from appearing in their respective search engines. Over 100,000 terms are now blocked and any searches featuring these keywords will display purged results along with a warning, the opportunity to report any illegal content and a link to charities pointing towards help.
In an interview with British newspaper « the Daily Mail » Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt explains how the system will work; he says the restrictions will initially only apply to English speaking countries but will soon be rolled out in more than 150 languages. Mr. Schmidt also revealed that they had developed technology that would "tag" illegal images and videos so that all duplicate copies could be quickly detected and removed from the Internet.
The measures have been met with criticism however from experts like Jim Gamble who says sexual predators rarely use traditional search engines to find this type of content. In a piece published on ITV.com, the former chief executive of the "Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre" says it would be wiser to find funding to hire experts tasked with tracking and identifying online pedophiles.
USA: online mobilization to help Illinois tornado victims
Residential neighbourhoods in ruins, homes barely standing or completely wiped out, roads strewn with all manner of debris, and trees uprooted … these amateur images testify to the violence of the deadly tornadoes that hit the US State of Illinois on Sunday. People have been sharing accounts of the storms system of twisters, high winds and hail storms on the web and social networkers are doing what they can to help the many victims.
Indeed, American web users have been pledging support for those who have lost everything to the tornadoes, posting under the hashtags #PrayforIllinois or #PrayforWashington, one of the hardest hit communities. Netizens are also urging their fellow Americans to help by donating money or food to relief organizations.
And humanitarian organizations on the ground are also making use of the web. The American Red Cross for example has been busy on Twitter, indicating the various emergency shelters set up across the region. The information is also shown on this interactive map available on the NGO's website. And their 'safe and well' platform is also up and running, to provide comfort and information for people concerned for loved ones, or those affected by the disaster wanting to reassure their friends and family.
Now trending on social networks
American social networkers campaigned under the #JTMeetAshleigh hashtag, to convince Justin Timberlake to meet 20 year old Ashleigh Hunt, who has been battling a rare bone cancer for over a year now and who is a huge fan of the singer. The campaigning paid off because she got to meet JT in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, where he was giving a concert. A dream come true for Ashleigh who says she's now more determined than ever to beat the disease.
Google Street View floats into Venice
With Google Street View you can now visit Venice, Italy, from the comfort of your own home. Launched last week, the web giant's mapping service has put together a virtual tour of the streets, piazzas and famous canals of Venice, meaning if they haven't already, web users from across the globe can discover one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Video of the day
This video features professional rally driver Ken Block from the US, demonstrating a discipline that's very popular right now in the world of extreme and mechanical sports : Gymkhana; a mix of driving and drifting, a technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, and as we can see here it involves maneuvering and sliding around all sorts of obstacles in a closed off course. You can check out this adrenaline packed clip in its entirety on all good video sharing platforms.

Ashley was born as Ashley Tyler Ciminella in Granada Hills, California. She is the daughter of Naomi Judd, a country music singer and motivational speaker, and Michael Charles Ciminella, a marketing analyst for the horseracing industry.[1][2][3] Ashley's elder half-sister, Wynonna, is also a country music singer. Her paternal grandfather was of Sicilian descent, and her paternal grandmother was a descendant of Mayflower pilgrim William Brewster.[4][5] At the time of her birth, her mother was unemployed; she did not become well known as a singer until the early 1980s. Judd's parents divorced in 1972, and in 1973, her mother took her back to her native Kentucky, where Judd spent the majority of her childhood.[6] She also lived in Marin County, California, for two years during grade school.
Judd attended 13 schools before college, including the Sayre School[7] in Lexington, Kentucky, Paul G. Blazer High School in Ashland, Kentucky and Franklin High School in Tennessee.[8] She briefly tried modeling in Japan during a school break. An alumna of the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma at the University of Kentucky, she majored in French and minored in anthropology, art history, theater and women's studies. She spent a semester studying in France as part of her major, a move that mirrored her role as Reed in the television series Sisters. She graduated from the UK Honors Program and was nominated to Phi Beta Kappa, but did not graduate with her class.[9] Forgoing her commitment to join the Peace Corps, after college she drove to Hollywood, where she studied with well-respected acting teacher, Robert Carnegie, at Playhouse West. During this time, she worked as a hostess at The Ivy restaurant and lived in a Malibu rental house, which burned down during the great Malibu fires of fall 1993. Around that time her half-sister Wynonna Judd gave her a historic farmhouse and some land in Williamson County, Tennessee, so she moved to Tennessee. That farmhouse has been her primary residence in the US ever since.
Judd appeared as Ensign Robin Lefler, a Starfleet officer, in two 1991 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Darmok" and "The Game". From 1991 to 1994, she had a recurring role as Reed, the daughter of Alex (Swoosie Kurtz), on the NBC drama Sisters. She made her feature film debut with a small role in 1992's Kuffs. In 1993 Judd fought for and was cast in her first starring role playing the title character in Victor Nuñez's Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize Winning, Ruby in Paradise. On her way to the audition, she was so nervous about getting a role that she felt defined her life, she nearly wrecked her car."From the first three sentences, I knew it was written for me," she told the San Jose Mercury News.[10] She received rave reviews playing Ruby Lee Gissing, a young woman trying to make a new life for herself, and it was this performance that would launch her career as an actress. Nuñez told author James L. Dickerson that the resonance of the character was Judd's creation: "The resonance, those moments, was not contrived. It was just a matter of creating the scene and trusting that it was worth telling."[11]
Oliver Stone, who had seen her in Nuñez's film, cast Judd in Natural Born Killers, but her scenes were later cut from the version of the film released theatrically. The following year she gained further critical acclaim for her role as Harvey Keitel's estranged daughter in Wayne Wang's Smoke and also as Val Kilmer's wife in Michael Mann's Heat. That same year she also played the role of Callie in Philip Ridley's dark, adult fairy tale, The Passion of Darkly Noon. In 1996, she co-starred with Mira Sorvino as Marilyn Monroe in Norma Jean and Marilyn, where she recreated the photo shoot for the centerfold for the first issue of Playboy. By the end of the 1990s, Judd had managed to achieve significant fame and success as a leading actress, after leading roles in several thrillers that performed well at the box office, including Kiss the Girls in 1997 and 1999's Double Jeopardy.
Several of her early 2000s films, including 2001's Someone Like You and 2002's High Crimes, received only mixed reviews and moderate box office success;[12] although she did receive positive recognition, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, for her performance in the 2004 biography of Cole Porter, De-Lovely, opposite Kevin Kline. In the same year, however, she starred in Twisted, the worst-reviewed movie of 2004 with 131 of 133 critics panning it.[13] To date, 'Twisted' is the last major Hollywood film in which she received top billing.
Judd is currently the magazine advertising "face" of American Beauty, an Estée Lauder cosmetic brand sold exclusively at Kohl's department stores, and H. Stern jewelers. In early 2012, however, her image suddenly disappeared from American' Beauty's web site.[14] In June 2007, Goody's Family Clothing announced they were going to be releasing three fashion clothing lines with Judd in the fall to be called – "AJ", "Love Ashley" and "Ashley Judd." Goody's declared bankruptcy a year later due to slow sales and its last store closed in February 2009.
In 2011, Judd co-starred with Patrick Dempsey in the film Flypaper. It grossed only $1,100 total in its theatrical release and received a 17% Rotten Tomatoes rating (15 of 18 critics panned it).[15]
In 2012, Judd starred as Rebecca Winstone on the ABC series Missing. The series aired from March 15 to May 17, 2012.[16] Due to low ratings it was not renewed for a second season.[17]
In December 1999, Judd was engaged to Scottish racing driver Dario Franchitti, who was driving in the Champ Car World Series. Since the demise of the Champ Car World Series, Franchitti has raced in IndyCar and NASCAR. The couple were married, on December 12, 2001, at Skibo Castle, near Dornoch, Scotland. The couple divide their time between a home in Scotland and their farm outside Franklin, Tennessee, USA. They have no children. She told the Sunday Mail, "It's unconscionable to breed, with the number of children who are starving to death in impoverished countries".[18]
Although Judd is known to attend University of Kentucky basketball games regularly (frequently sitting in the student section), she has also attended several Kentucky football games. Judd has been a guest columnist for a local Kentucky newspaper, writing about the NCAA championships.[citation needed] Judd posed for a poster wearing only an ice hockey jersey for fund raising purposes for the University of Kentucky's hockey team. She is an avid practitioner of yoga, cooking, and gardening.
In February 2006, Judd entered a program at Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap, Texas and stayed for 47 days.[19] She was there because of personal issues, including depression, insomnia and codependency.[20]
A disagreement between Judd and Indy race car driver Milka Duno took place during the 2007 Indy Racing League season. After the final race of the 2007 season, the actress stated to the assembled news media, "I know this is not very sportsmanlike, but they've got to get the 23 car (Duno) off the track. It's very dangerous. I'm tired of holding my tongue. She shouldn't be out there. When a car is 10 miles (an hour) off the pace, it's not appropriate to be racing. People's lives are at stake."[21]
On May 9, 2007, it was announced that Judd had completed her bachelor's degree, in French, from the University of Kentucky.[22] In a May 2007 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Judd explained that she had completed her degree requirements in 1990 with 27 more credit hours taken than the required 120 hours, but had mistakenly thought she was one class short of the necessary requirements. At this time, she realized that she only needed to "sign a piece of paper" in order to graduate, and receive her diploma. DeGeneres then surprised Judd by presenting her with her diploma, which Ellen had acquired from the university.
Judd was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky on May 9, 2009. Judd subsequently earned a Mid-Career Master in Public Administration degree (MC MPA) from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 2010.[23] This is a one-year degree as distinct from the two-year MPA.
On April 5, 2011, Judd released her memoir All That is Bitter and Sweet[24] where she talks about her trials and tribulations from adolescence to adulthood. Judd stirred controversy with comments describing hip hop music as part of what feminists describe as "rape culture", although Judd asserts that she was basing her comments on observation and was not intending to offend.[citation needed]
Judd is a fan of Scottish football club Celtic F.C..[25]
Ashley Judd's humanitarian work has revolved around becoming a global ambassador for YouthAIDS, a prevention program under the Population Services International. She has been a member of their Board of Directors since 2004, also. Judd has travelled with YouthAIDS to places affected by illness and poverty such as Cambodia, Kenya, Rwanda, and many others.[26]
Inspired by her travels, which allowed her to witness the life of the poor and uneducated, she has since become an advocate for preventing poverty and promoting awareness internationally. She has met with political and religious leaders, heads of states, diplomats, and leaders on behalf of the deprived to convey the message to those who have the power to bring about political and social change.[26]
Judd has also narrated three documentaries for YouthAIDS which aired internationally on the Discovery Channel, in National Geographic, and on VH1.
In 2011, Judd joined the Leadership Council of the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW).[27]
Other organizations Judd has been involved with include the Women for Women International, and Equality Now, along with other non-governmental organizations which center around bringing attention to social, educational, health, economic, cultural, and financial funding of the unfortunate.[26]
Judd has supported the following charities and foundations:[28]
In 2008, Judd supported Barack Obama's presidential campaign. In 2009, she appeared in a one-minute video advertisement for the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, in which Judd condemned Alaska governor Sarah Palin for supporting aerial wolf hunting.[29] In response, Palin stated the reason these wolves are killed is to protect the caribou population in Alaska, and she called the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund an "extreme fringe group".[30] In 2010, Judd signed the Animal Legal Defense Fund's petition to urge Governor Steve Beshear to protect Kentucky's homeless animals through tough enforcement of the state's Humane Shelter Law.[31]
Judd is active in humanitarian and political causes. She was appointed Global Ambassador for YouthAIDS, an education and prevention program of the international NGO Population Services International (PSI), promoting AIDS prevention and treatment, and speaks and demonstrates at pro-choice events. Judd was honored November 10, 2009 as the recipient of the fourth annual USA TODAY Hollywood Hero, awarded for her work with PSI.[32] On October 29, 2006, Judd appeared at a "Women for Ford" event for Democratic Tennessee Senate candidate Harold Ford, Jr. She has also campaigned extensively locally and nationally for a variety of Democratic candidates, including President Barack Obama in critical swing states.
On September 8, 2010, CNN interviewed Judd about her second humanitarian mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo.[33] Judd traveled with the Enough Project, a project to end genocide and crimes against humanity. In the interview, Judd discussed her efforts to raise awareness about how conflict minerals fuel sexual violence in Congo. During her trip, Judd visited hospitals for victims of sexual violence, camps for displaced persons, mines, and civil society organizations. On September 30, 2010, cnn.com published an Op-ed titled "Ashley Judd: Electronics fuel unspeakable violence"[34] by Ashley Judd and the Enough Project's co-founder John Prendergast regarding the continued violence in Congo. Her Op-ed discusses the recent provision in the Dodd-Frank Reform bill that requires companies to prove where their minerals originated. On November 26, 2010, The Huffington Post published an Op-ed by Ashley Judd titled "Costs of Convenience".[35] The Op-ed is excerpted from Ashley Judd's trip diary from her trip to eastern Congo. Judd describes the link between her cell phone, laptop, MP3 player, and e-reader and the continued rape and sexual violence in Congo. Judd also explains the immediate need for electronics companies to commit to tracing, auditing, and certifying the minerals in their products to guarantee a clean supply chain.
Judd again supported Democrats in the 2012 elections, endorsing President Barack Obama for re-election. She represented Tennessee as a delegate to the 2012 Democratic National Convention. She is also reportedly considering returning to Kentucky and challenging U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell in 2014.[36]

Date/Time: Friday November 7 2008 11:00 a.m.
Host: Risto Miikkulainen
Talk Title:
Mining Experimental data for Dynamical Invariants - from Cognitive Robotics to Computational Biology
Talk Abstract:
This talk will describe new active learning proce sses for
automated modeling of dynamical systems across a number
of disciplines. One of the long-standing challenges in robotics
is achiev ing robust and adaptive performance under uncertainty.
The talk will de scribe an approach to adaptive behavior based
on self-modeling where a system continuously evolves multiple
simulators of itself in order to make useful predictions. The robot
is rewarded for actions that cause d isagreement among predictions
of different candidate simulators thereb y elucidating uncertainties.
The concept of self modeling will then be generalized to other systems
demonstrating how analytical invariants ca n be derived automatically
for physical systems purely from observation . Application to modeling
physical and biological systems will be shown .
Speaker Bio:
Hod Lipson is an Associate Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace
Engineering and Computing & Information Science at Cornell
University in Ithaca NY. He directs the Computational Synthesis
g roup which focuses on novel ways for automatic design fabrication
and adaptation of virtual and physical machines. He has led work in

FAQs - Using the Automated Telephone System
- How do I find out if my unemployment check has been paid?
- Why can't I get through on the telephone?
- Do I have to file my claim by telephone?
- Don't I have to file a claim first thing Monday morning?
- What information do I need to file a claim?
- I don't like automated telephone systems. Can't I speak to a live person?
- Why can't I just press 0 to talk to a person? When I tried, your system disconnected me. What happened?
- If I don't have any buttons on my phone, can I still use the telephone system?
- Does EDD provide phone services in other languages besides English and Spanish?
How do I find out if my unemployment check has been paid?
Our automated system provides recorded information about your most recent Unemployment Insurance benefit payment Monday through Saturday (6 a.m. and Midnight), and on Sunday (between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m). The information is updated Tuesday through Saturday at 6 a.m. and does not change until the following day, so you only need to call once a day. The best time to call the automated system is between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m., or any time on weekends.
Why can't I get through on the telephone?
When our telephone systems receive too many calls the telephone network becomes temporarily overloaded. If that occurs, you will hear a message that states, "We are currently receiving more calls than our system can handle. Please try again later." This tends to happen between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., and the problem should resolve itself in a few minutes. This is also likely to occur on our busiest days (Mondays, and days after a holiday).
Once you have reached our telephone system, and you make the menu selections to speak to a Representative, the system routes your call to the location with the shortest wait time. However, if it appears that your call cannot be answered within 10 minutes because of the number of callers already waiting, you will hear a message advising you to call back later. To avoid this possibility, you may want to call on Wednesday or Thursday, which are our least busy days.
Statewide increased demand for UI services, seasonal fluctuations and holidays contribute to a longer wait time when calling the Department. We understand that your time is valuable and EDD is making every effort to shorten the time you must wait for service.
You can avoid telephone wait time by using one of our online applications to file your claim.
Do I have to file my claim by telephone?
No. With Internet access you can file for UI benefits online at:eApply4UI or you can print and mail or fax in Form DE 1101I.
Don't I have to file a claim first thing Monday morning?
If you are opening or reopening an Unemployment Insurance claim, you do not have to call on Monday to have your claim begin that week. Your claim will begin Sunday of the week in which you call, as long as you have applied online by Saturday by midnight, or by phone Friday by 5 p.m. of the week you wish to file.
What information do I need to file a claim?
You must have your Social Security Number, as that is the only way that we can identify your records. If you have been given an EDD Client Number, provide that as well.
If you are filing a claim you will need to know the last date that you worked. You may need your California Drivers License or State identification number and the names and mailing addresses for all the employers you have worked for in the past 18 months. If you have worked for the federal government or military, you will be asked for additional information, so have furlough papers or your DD 214. *See military and federal claims for more information. If you are not a US Citizen, you will be asked for your immigration status and document numbers.
If you are calling for information about your claim, you will be asked variable information in order to determine your identity. This is to protect your confidential information.
I don't like automated telephone systems. Can't I speak to a live person?
Our automated system shortens your wait time. If you want to file or reopen an Unemployment Insurance claim, or if you want to provide or obtain information about your current claim, our automated system directs your call to a Customer Service Representative during regular business hours.
If you listen to the telephone menu, and make the selections, as prompted you will reduce your overall wait time and receive the assistance you need.
Why can't I just press 0 to talk to a person? When I tried, your system disconnected me. What happened?
Our automated system uses your menu selections to tell us why you are calling to direct your call to a Customer Service Representative with the shortest wait time. If you make incorrect selections from the menu choices, your call may be disconnected.
Yes. However if you are unable to make menu selections, you may wait longer for your call to be answered, and may have to be transferred to more than one Customer Service Representative.
Does EDD provide phone services in other languages besides English and Spanish?
EDD also provides telephone services in Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese languages.
- The Cantonese telephone number is 1-800-547-3506.
- The Mandarin telephone number is 1-866-303-0706.
- The Vietnamese telephone number is 1-800-547-2058.

O'Connor eager for Owls response
James O'Connor is hoping Sheffield Wednesday can put a disappointing week behind them when they travel to Plymouth on Saturday.The Owls were the early-season pacesetters in League One until back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Brentford and Carlisle hit their progress over the past two weekends"It's now a case of winning our next game," O'Connor told Wednesday player. "We're obviously still disappointed with the last two results but it's all still to play for."We'll get our heads down through the week in training and make sure we give a good performance on Saturday and go for the win."It will be a tough game because I'm sure Plymouth will have the same hopes."If we go down there with the right attitude and application then hopefully we can come out with a result."

Rajahmundry: The ongoing stir for Samaikyandhra is being carried out with renewed vigour with more sections of the people joining it and extending support until they realise that the state remains united, at several parts in Godavari districts on Saturday.
In Rajahmundry, YSR Congress supporters cleaned the roads at Kotagummam Centre to express their protest on the proposed division of the state. Relay hunger strike camps taken up by lawyers, students of Adikavi Nannaya University, civic employees, R and B employees, members of non-political JAC and YSR Congress supporters, are being continued at several places in the city.
At Amalapuram, Telugu Desam supporters led by former ministers Dr Metla Satyanarayana and Gollapalli Surya Rao felt the need to keep the state united. The supporters took out a rally carrying the torches at Clock Tower centre.
Several Muslim associations with Muslims joint action committee from Ravulapalem, Kothapeta, Ambajipeta, Allavaram, Mummidivaram and from other places took out a massive bike rally led by senior advocate Md. Ajam to Amalapuram town. Later, they formed a human chain at Clock Tower centre and raised slogans for Samaikyandhra.
At Ainavilli, people belonging to Salivahana community staged a novel protest by travelling in tractors while preparing the pots with mud in a rally to extend their support for the stir.
At Bhimavaram, students gave a presentation depicting how the state capital Hyderabad was developed by the people from Seemandhra region and were critical over the claims of Telangana people on it.
Engineering students pulled rickshaws raising slogans for Samaikyandhra. Women students pursuing engineering courses expressed their protest by writing Samaikyandhra on the pots. The supporters of Samaikyandhra gathered at Prakasam Chowk and danced to the drum beats.
At Eluru, students from municipal corporation high school, Gandhi Nagar took out a rally and formed a human chain at old bus stand. Girls bent on their kneels and raised slogans.
Protests, a costly affair
Rajahmundry: With the Samaikyandhra stir going strong even after a month, the maintenance of camps such as relay and indefinite fast, the protest camps, dharnas and organisation of rallies and other such activities is said to have turned out to be a costly affair and with the longitivity of the situation.
It is said that to run each of the activities with a minimum amount of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10.000 plus is required for a single day. According to the organisers this amount is being spent on shamiyanas, furniture like tables, benches, chairs, power or battery connection, public address system, pedestal fans and for allied needs in addition to food, refreshments, provision of drinking water and other amenities.
The expenditure varies from place to place and from rural to urban, it is said.
The employees, students and teachers JACs have been organising these activities across the district in towns and villages with active participation of rural folk and farming community, artistes, daily wage-earners and others. The political leaders at the state level, it is learnt, even expressed surprise over the conduct of the agitation in a disciplined way without any leadership to lead at the state level.
The leader of a major political party from Rajahmundry who doesn't want to be quoted has said that he had to spend more than Rs 60,000 from his pocket in the last one month for this purpose in Rajahmundry city alone. He also quoted that the organisers have been making separate arrangements for women, which incurs extra expenditure.
The YSR Congress senior leader, former MLA and East Godavari DCCB chairperson Varupula Subba Rao said on Saturday that the participants in the movement have been contributing from their own pockets in addition to local leaders at the village and mandal level. People from different walks of like are coming forward to contribute for Samaikyandhra stir voluntarily, he said.
When contacted, the DCC East Godavari unit president Dommeti Venkateswarulu observed that as this is a people's movement spread to all sections, including farming community, the expenditure is being shared by the participants with their own contributions. The political parties have not been extending support for this purpose, he said.

Dayton O'Connor meets Donny Wright in the Backroom and immediately establishes himself as the aggressor. Both guys are hot, young, and hung so Donny doesn't mind being told what to do. Dayton orders him to suck his dick to the base then turns his attention to Donny's round ass. After rimming him and sucking his fat uncut cock, Dayton shoves his rock-hard cock in Donny's tight ass. Judging from the size of Donny's load, Dayton throws a pretty mean fuck!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Audrey L. Flack (born 1931 in New York) is an American artist known for her pioneering contributions to photorealist painting, printmaking, and public sculpture.
Flack studied fine arts in New York from 1948 to 1953, studying under Josef Albers among others.[1] She earned a graduate degree and received an honorary doctorate from Cooper Union in New York City, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Yale University. She studied art history at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.[2]
Flack's early work in the 1950s was abstract; one such painting paid tribute to Franz Kline. The ironic kitsch themes in her early work influenced Jeff Koons.[citation needed] But gradually, Flack became a New Realist and then evolved into photorealism during the 1960s. She was the first photorealist painter to be added to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1966.[3]
The critic Graham Thompson wrote,
"One demonstration of the way photography became assimilated into the art world is the success of photorealist painting in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is also called super-realism, radical realism, or hyper-realism and painters like Richard Estes, Chuck Close, and Audrey Flack as well, often worked from photographic stills to create paintings that appeared to be photographs."[4]
Art critic Robert C. Morgan writes in The Brooklyn Rail about Flack's 2010 exhibition at Gary Snyder Project Space, Audrey Flack Paints a Picture, "She has taken the signs of indulgence, beauty, and excess and transformed them into deeply moving symbols of desire, futility, and emancipation."[5]
Flack has claimed to have found the photorealist movement too restricting, and now gains much of her inspiration from Baroque art.[citation needed]
Flack is currently represented by Gary Snyder Gallery. Her work is held in the collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, Australia.
She was awarded the St. Gaudens Medal from Cooper Union, and the honorary Albert Dome professorship from Bridgeport University. She is an honorary professor at George Washington University, is currently a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania and has taught and lectured extensively both nationally, and internationally.[2]
In 1986 Flack published Art & soul: notes on creating, a book expressing some of her thoughts on being an artist.[6]
Flack lives and works in New York City and Long Island.

Air Astana is seeking to add new aircraft to a list of those exempted from the European Union's blanket ban on Kazakh airlines.
The Kazakh flag-carrier, having successfully pleaded a case for special consideration from the ban in July 2009, is subject to a partial restriction. This allows the airline to fly in Europe but not to expand its operations. Under this arrangement tail numbers of Air Astana's fleet were placed on a list of aircraft exempted from the blacklist.
However Air Astana president Peter Foster says that, as the airline has been taking delivery of new aircraft, they have been unable to place them on the list.
"Because of the nature of the bureaucracy it appears to be very difficult to change things," he says. The situation means the airline cannot yet use its new aircraft for operations into Europe.
Foster says the airline is "engaged in dialogue with Brussels" and adds: "We are hopeful that some of the restrictions will soon be eased. We are hoping, at the very least, that our new aircraft can be placed on the list of those allowed to fly to Europe."

Wow, another firestorm sale?
For those that haven't played it, it's very worth it. Great game with the exception of the competitive online. I rarely had issues with the coop though. 5 bucks is very worth the single player campaign though.
Might get the PS3 version though. Is there any differences between the Wii U version and the PS3 version aside from the missing mode on Wii U?
The only thing I'm aware that it is missing is the offline co-op. It doesn't suffer from any screen tearing like the other two versions, but during some cut scenes it tends to lag behind the other two by a couple frames per second.

When undergoing surgery, there are several options for wound closure depending on the type of procedure. For stitches on the skin's surface, an adhesive (surgical glue) or removable stitches can be used. But some surgeries require incisions through multiple layers of tissue, such as an abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty or breast augmentation, making the removal of stitches afterwards impossible. In these cases, dissolvable stitches, also known as dissolving stitches, can be used.
Dissolvable stitches, or absorbable sutures, can be used in a number of different procedures, including cosmetic surgeries. They are made of natural materials such as animal protein, hair, silk and collagen – products that the body doesn't consider foreign substances, and can therefore be broken down naturally. Dissolvable stitches can be specially formulated to provide the best type of healing to the incision. These stitches can be used in procedures that require longer healing periods, and in places where there is more elasticity and movement needed to avoid stitches snapping or coming out.
Unlike traditional sutures, you don't need a follow up appointment with your surgeon, as these stitches dissolve naturally. The amount of time needed for the stitches to disintegrate completely varies by procedure. For some, sutures can be gone in as little as 5-14 days. Others may take anywhere from 30 days to 3 months. Using topical creams rich in vitamin E and mineral oils can help reduce the appearance of scars once the stitches have gone.

By Paul Yeager, author of Weather Whys: Facts, Myths, and Oddities.
The goal of the book Time to Get Ready…A Hurricane is Coming to our Town!, by Jill Klaskin Press is, according to the blurb on the back of the book to "help explain the phenomenon of hurricanes to children ages 4-8 in a 'grow and learn' non-threatening way, from a child's perspective."
The book succeeds wonderfully, incorporating colorful illustrations of the family of four as they prepare for, stay home through, and clean up after a weak hurricane moving through their town. Important points are made about home preparation, how to stay safe while in the house, and how to handle clean-up afterward–all in simple dialogue that a child can easily understand without becoming overly afraid.
We all know that the best way to stay safe during a hurricane is to move to a safer location, and Klaskin Press made sure that to make the point that had this been a stronger hurricane that the family would have had to go to grandma's house.
The book would be a great addition to add to the library of any family who lives in an area threatened by hurricanes, perhaps even making a reassuring bedtime story in areas where children are bombarded with threatening messages about hurricanes.
For more information, please visit the Time to Get Ready Web site.

In response to Jonathan Brooke, I can assure him that while I have only just left high school, my overwhelming conviction is that many under-performing teachers need to be sacked.
Our bog-standard state school had interactive projectors and white boards in every room. Hardly any teacher used them. We all hated the teachers who did. (Nobody likes a power point presentation. Teaching should be a more interactive and involved process.)
Many teachers were terribly disorganized; during highers (Scottish A levels), a number of teachers simply weren't familiar with the syllabus or content which we were meant to study; a number of teachers were entirely disinterested (whenever I asked my physics teacher a question, he just lazily remarked that if I want to know I should check out what books are in the library).
We need change. Many teachers fail to earn a professional salary - so be rid of them. Give us larger class sizes with competent instructors, and performance can only improve.

After watching the matches between the teams in WCG, I realized that each team has a key champion that without him, the team cannot function well. ChinaHero: Kayle: This champion carry them to victory over SKG in the round robin. AnotherStory: Galio: This champion give the team 2 wins over ChinaHero in the third place matches. SKG: TF: This champion bring the them victory every match that have him in the team. CLG: BigFatjiji: This champion is the Asian version of Jessy Perring (quote from Phreak).
i lol'd.
prophet of toast
Ha. Yea... bigfatjiji is essentially my LoL God.
I wasn't mean to make you guys laugh lol. I just pointed out the fact that whichever champion BigFatjiji played was the key to bring victory to the team.
He's so good man. Defiantly MVP of every match he played in I'd say, and omg his anivia is outright ridiculous, so so so good.

The doctor just came out and told us that Nicole's surgery was a success, and went according to plan. There was some minor issue with the anesthesia, and she had had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics they had her on initially, but all that got worked out, and now she's through surgery and in recovery.
Her mom and I are now waiting (about 45 minutes) for her to leave recovery and go to her room, so we can go and see her post-0p. The doctor plans on prescribing some fairly light pain meds, which is encouraging. But for now, all's well, and Nicole is now the proud owner of a brand new bionic hip.

Chronic bronchitis (pronounced Bron-KI-tis) is an inflammatory condition of the airways. Your airway consists of tubes that connect your windpipe with your lungs. When the airway becomes inflamed by pollution, fumes, cigarette smoke, or other irritants, it swells in an effort to close itself and protect the lungs from the irritant. As a result, less air is able to flow to and from the lungs.
The lungs work to protect themselves too. While your airways are tightening to fend off the irritants, the lungs produce mucus or sputum to clear away the irritation. This causes you to cough and bring up some of the mucus. It can also make breathing very labored and uncomfortable.
Chronic bronchitis, like emphysema, is classified as one of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases, also known as COPD, and there are two types – acute and chronic. Acute bronchitis may occur after you have had a viral respiratory infection or cold, and it can be treated with antibiotics, but chronic bronchitis is far more serious, and more common, than you may think:
The word "chronic" means repetitive or lasting a long time. If you have chronic bronchitis, you will have suffered with a mucus producing cough most days for at least three months a year for two successive years. It's a long-term disease, not an infection, and there is no cure.
The most common cause of chronic bronchitis is cigarette smoking, and the persistent cough is sometimes dismissed as being a "smoker's cough". This assumption can be dangerous, because the earlier chronic bronchitis is detected and treated, the greater the chance for improvement. If you have a persistent cough, see your doctor.
Cigarette smoking is not the only cause of chronic bronchitis. In nonsmokers, causes of the disease include:
People over age 45 are more likely to have chronic bronchitis, and more women get bronchitis than men.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, see your health care
professional immediately for an accurate diagnosis and treatment
to relieve your symptoms.
