Ashton Kutcher, Opponent of Underage Sex Trafficking, Appears on Billboard With Naked 17-Year-Old Boy
Categories: Flotsam
Real men don't buy girls -- but it's cool if they stand next to naked boys. |
Now he's naked on a billboard with his 17-year-old costar from Two and a Half Men.
Kutcher was announced in May as the replacement for raving maniac Charlie Sheen on the CBS hit show costarring Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones, who turned 10 the year Two and a Half Men debuted.
Which, if our calendars don't deceive us, makes him 17 years old until October. This makes us wonder, though admittedly not very much, about what he's doing on a billboard like this:

Re: UPDATE: Rough Cut - Woodworking with Tommy Mac by Tommy MacDonald and Laurie Donnelly
Built one project, can't wait to get tot he next. Great book with lots of good ideas.
Re: Blade brake inventor aims to compete with SawStop
The video just made it to the net and already has generated a great deal of interest and response. I am a hobby woodworker and try to take as much precaution as I can when using my contractor type table saw. If it does not feel right, I don't make the cut. Having said that however, this addition to my saw would be wonderful.
Not only adds protection but ighting and dust removal at the same time. For thise of us who don't feel rushed in getting the job done, this is the way to go. I would buy one when available. The problems with the Saw Stop for the home user is the size, cost and power needs. This seems like a good option and hopefully at lower cost.

I'm not 100% sure whether or not I'm going to continue with this AAR. I haven't really enjoyed it for quite a while now and have repeatedly been unable to force myself to go on and write the next update. I feel like the whole AAR has just sort of sunk into a hole, whenever I go on the thread it feels very negative and I've found the repeated, and apparently random, deletion of people's posts very frustrating.
It seems that both my own and most of the readers' enthusiasm for the AAR has fizzled away. I'm not guarunteeing that this is over, I'm just warning people not to hold their breath for the next update. :/
Awwww, this was one of my favorite AARs! It certainly filled the void left by Tommy's absence.
Alas, if you cannot bring yourself to continue, then it cannot be helped. All I can say is that I hope it doesn't feel as negative in the future and that you'll be able to find some enjoyment out of it yet.

Personally I have enjoyed this AAR from start to the current installment, just my two cents. However at the end of the day it's your call maestro .

I just want to echo all of the above posts. It's remarkably fun feeling like you can play some part in determining the course of actions in the AAR. That said though, if you don't feel like it, you don't feel like it, and I don't think anyone would fault you for stopping.

I think that we have to recover the sense of fun that this AAR had in the beginning. I don't know, but the problem, from my point of view, it's that, lately, each chapter has become some kind of a excuse for a dialectical battle, which has forced me just to take care of voting when the time is come and to read the highly expected and high quality updates. Frankly, I left the OT because of the many quarrells about any topic (football, politics, whatever) and I don't want that nonsense here too. Some topics and some uses should remain in the OT. This is the AARland (Ach, I feel like Leonidas now. Where's the pit?)
You only need to compare the first pages and the last ones to see what has changed and to realize what is polluting the AAR. We (and by this I mean all of us, because ATTACK can do little on his own) need to recover the spirit of the beginning of this wonderful idea. Some roleplaying is good, but exacerbating things too much, as it has happened, not only bores some of us, but, as we have seen, kills the AAR.
If some people cannot stop from battling, they should refrain to follow the AAR, for the sake of the narration and of ATTACK. As a writter, I know too well what is to devote a lot of effort to make a child of us going ahed and to see it killed because it goes out of control because of some unforeseen sideshow.
I hope no one gets offended by my words. I simply state what I see. Just look at the first pages and the last ones. If somebody thinks that it's all fair, good and nice, I'll eat my words.
ATTACK, don't let yourself down, please.

Clearly what Britain needs now is becomming a real workers republic.
We've seen allready how workers get exploited all around the world by shortsighted capitalism.
For full strenght Britain needs to unite it's working class!
I'd just like to say how much I have appreciated this AAR from the start to its current installment. I hope you do go on Attack, but even if you don't: thank you for a very enjoyable read!
Battez-vous, égorgez-vous, nous gardons vos sous.
in a way i reckon its unavoidable. Kurts right at the start it was more... tempered? But as we've journed along the course of the AAR people have got more and more into it and created a sense of hostility by trying to forfill there respective characters. We need to try and calm ourselfs and return to square one
Men were granted power by God, in his wisdom, and that power requires responsibility.
Ironic, the thing most men lack is responsibility.
The man in the office, contemplating the globe, now looks like he is contemplating whether to tweet "ZOMG! China Protectorate ftw!" or whether he is thinking of posting pictures of his shiny new dreadnoughts on Facebook.
Stick to one update per parliament. This is what is bogging the AAR down. Its the slow pace in updates rather than the slow pace of updates.
Watch the viewcount rather than reading the posts.
Slim down the elections too. Treating all parties equally is very un-British. Just give the two leading parties a full write up, maybe something for a third, and just the list policies for the others.
And if you don't want to do that, finish the AAR with a bang (e.g. by surrendering to rebels and instituting a dictatorship). "... And so, as the political classes descended from ever more vitriolic outbursts into open violence on the streets, it was clear to <insert dictator here> that only a strong hand could save the Republic from another civil war. A member of the old aristocracy, his lack of sympathy with the establishment started young, and he had been expelled successively from both Eton and Harrow. Only at Sandhurst had he found a congenial atmosphere, and as he warmed to the army, the army warmed to him. In the wars of the Republic he had made himself well known and popular by being daring, successful, and most of all, by having his accounts of the actions syndicated across all the newspapers. Some thought his account of the conquest of Quebec was a touch short and overly boastful but it cemented his place in the affections of the public. There was much dismay in the country when the government sacked this dangerously populist officer but it was nothing to the dismay in the government when he arrived at the Horse Guards to surrender his commission in person and his troops marched with him to protest the decision. Whether Chamberlain suffered a stroke at his desk due to the stress of the situation, or whether there was foul play may never be known. But when the news spread that the War Minister was dead, the rest of the government fled ...
Always go by the view counter, not the post count.
And the reader's enthusiasm is why things have been getting deleted: arguments are heating up, people are taking things seriously (this does not mean it is okay to do so when breaking rules). If you are uninterested personally, find a way to graciously bow out. Many of us will be waiting for your next adventures. However, if you are worried we are not interested: your thread is a page behind Svip's Ulm AAR. Think about that, and I know you'll see we are interested.

As the others have said, it would be wonderful if it were to remain interactive, but after all that's happened and the cliffhanger we're sort of on now, I'd read it anyways.

There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests up on them. - William Jennings Bryan (1896)
Personally I would love to see this continue in any form. It gets frustrating when it seems that people aren't responding to your AAR but that doesn't mean that no one is reading them. We have a considerable number of views for this- 78,225 which shows popularity as Mr. C said.
I think if it's draining on you, possibly consider a different structure in regards to updates for each parliament. Just at least stick this out to the end so we get an example of an interactive aar that has finished.

While looking at the September 2012 issue of Brew Your Own homebrew magazine, I happened upon the "Homebrew Directory" section. The secion consists of a list of homebrew shops by state. I looked up my state (Massachusetts) and found that Homebrew Emporium had opened a new location in Weymouth, MA (which somewhat near my house.) I was happy to discover this as there are not too many homebrew supply locations on the South Shore.
A while back I found beer recipes for partial-grain Saison and Milk Stout on Homebrew.com*. I brewed both of the recipes and was very happy with the results.
I took notes along the way on each of the brewing sessions. I wisely posted my Saison recipe notes but never got down to doing the same with the Milk Stout recipe. As this was a few years ago, both beers are long gone now and I can no longer find the Milk Stout notes.

Independents reach agreement on reform
PUBLISHED: 06 Sep 2010 16:34:00 | UPDATED: 06 Sep 2010 17:38:38PRINT EDITION: 06 Sep 2010Independent members of parliament, Rob Oakeshott, center, Tony Windsor, left, and Bob Katter walk on the grounds of parliament in Canberra Photo: Rick Rycroft / AP
Parliament will have an independent speaker and question time will be overhauled under changes agreed by Labor and the Coalition.
The three country independents - Rob Oakeshott, Bob Katter and Tony Windsor - have been in talks on Monday with Labor and the coalition on parliamentary reform.
Speaking to reporters in Canberra on Monday afternoon, Mr Oakeshott said an agreement had been reached on the reforms, which focused on the relationship between the executive and parliament and improving the role of MPs.
"The Australian political system up until now has been overly dominated by the executive and the parliament has played a secondary role to the executive, the ministry and, in the last parliament, the gang of four," Mr Oakeshott said.
"This is going to change."
Mr Oakeshott said individual MPs would have a greater role and the committee process expanded to ensure greater checks on legislation.
Question time would also be shortened, he said."I think we've done some good work," he said.
He said party "elders" and former speakers had been involved in the talks.
The government's leader in the House of Representatives, Anthony Albanese, said there was goodwill to make the parliamentary reforms proceed.
"You need goodwill for reform to be progressed across the parliament; I think that goodwill is there," he said.
Mr Albanese said there would be a sitting by the end of 2010, with a review mechanism to see how the reforms would work.
Power would be transferred from the executive of government to the parliament's 150 lower house members, he added.
Mr Windsor said recreating the importance of local members was at the very basis of the reforms.
All members of parliament should be treated with "some degree of respect" by introducing private member's bills.
Mr Albanese said Friday sittings would be dedicated to private member's bills.
Labor tried this approach in 2008, soon after coming to power, but the coalition mocked this idea and it was soon scrapped.
But this time, Mr Albanese said Friday sittings would have broad parliamentary support.
"I'd be confident, regardless of whether Labor has a majority in the future or the coalition, that this will be a permanent reform to the culture of the parliament," he said.
"This is a great moment in my view," Mr Windsor said.
And there would be more great moments in the coming days with the independents to reveal who they will back.
Mr Oakeshott joked "after the press conference we'll be having a group hug".

Clinical Predictors of Acute Urinary Symptoms after Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
An interim study results presented at the 5th European Multidisciplinary Meeting on Urological Cancers
- Date: 20 Nov 2013
- Topic: Genitourinary cancers
An interim study by Italian researchers showed that using a modelling programme together with IPSS questionnaire and dosage measure can predict the severity of acute urinary symptoms in patients with early prostate cancer who underwent radiotherapy. The findings were presented by Dr Cesare Cozzarini of the San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy at the 5th European Multidisciplinary Meeting on Urological Cancers (EMUC) held in Marseille, France (15-17 November 2013).
Created for practitioners in the fields of urology, medical oncology and radiotherapy, EMUC 2013 is organised in partnership between the European Association for Urology (EAU), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO).
"Quantitative models predicting the risk of acute (and late) genito-urinary (GU) toxicity in patients treated with high dose radiotherapy for prostate cancer are lacking. This work represents one of the first attempts to provide radiation oncologists with quantitative tools to reliably predict the risk of moderate-severe acute GU effects based on both clinical and dosimetric individual parameters," according to Dr Cozzarini.
It is a prospective cohort study (DUE-01) which started in April 2010. The investigators aimed to develop predictive models of GU toxicity and erectile dysfunction after high dose radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Patients treated with conventional (1.8-2Gy/fr) or moderate hypo-fractionation (2.5-2.7Gy/fr) were included.
In their ad-interim analysis, the investigators also intended to find a link between pollakiuria, dysuria and nicturia as measured by IPSS at radiotherapy end and clinical/dosimetric risk factors. IPSS questionnaire at the start and at the end of radiotherapy were prospectively collected by the researchers and planning data were recovered and analyzed with a dedicated program (Vodca, MSS GmbH, Zurich), including absolute (cc/cm2) and % bladder dose-volume/surface (DVH/DSH) parameters referred to both the whole treatment and to the weekly delivered dose (DVHw/DSHw).
In the study, relevant clinical factors were also prospectively collected including T stage, concomitant morbidities and drugs, use of hormonal therapy, previous surgery, smoking, age, body-mass index and prostate volume. In IPSS, each item ranges from 0 to 5 with increasing score which indicates increasing toxicity severity: for each question, a score ≥4 at the end of the therapy was considered as the end point.
At the time of the analysis (January 2013), 339 patients have been enrolled by nine institutes. Clinical data of 212/339 patients were available (93 patients treated with conventional radiotherapy and 119 patients treated with hypo-fractionation). Of 172/212 patients both baseline and end-radiotherapy IPSS were collected. For 179/212 patients also DVH/DSH were available. Questions on pollakiuria, dysuria and nicturia (respectively 2, 3 and 7) showed the larger increase of the fraction of patients with scores ≥4 between basal and end questionnaire; consequently, the analysis focused on these symptoms.
The number of patients with scores ≥4 increased from 8 to 30 for pollakiuria, from 5 to 20 for dysuria and from 12 to 34 for nicturia. At MVA (overall p < 0.0001), the main independent predictors of acute pollakiuria, were: smoking (OR: 2.74, p = 0.04) and S8.5w (OR:1.01, p = 0.10); AUC=0.66. The model was confirmed also after the exclusion of patients with baseline IPSS-pollakiuria ≥4 (AUC=0.69).
In this study, the researchers prospectively collect patient-reported information concerning GU toxicity and erectile dysfunction before, during and at the end of radiotherapy and for a period of five years after its completion. The study therefore has a high probability of helping to develop highly reliable models for the prediction of acute and late GU toxicity and erectile dysfunction and their impact on quality of life, according to Dr Cozzarini.
The study authors expect that the final results will have a significant impact on the evolution of radiotherapy of prostate cancer in the next five to 10 years leading to a significant reduction of GU toxicity and sexual dysfunction, leading to a more refined tailoring of the radiation therapy.

Age-specific, differential mortality occurs between male and female mantled howler monkeys, Alouatta palliata,on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. A peak in mortality between 5 and 7 years is seen in males but not infernales. Dates when howler cadavers have been found suggest a seasonal mortality, with peaks in July and perhaps also in December through January.

Neris winter ducks

Tree in the night
In the fog
During the last minutes of 2010 January I took this photo. 2010 01 31 11:55:42 PM to be exact. And this is one of the first best of my photos, just as I started to get used to dslr, having it a little bit more than for one month. I can still remember that late evening. I was about to go to bed, walked to window and took a final peek to the outside through curtains and was quite astonished by this thick fog, so thick that the visibility was 10 meters at most. I hesitated for some time, but then decided to go out. It felt really magical to not be able to see anything further away, the sounds also were somehow strange. There was no sign of living creature, just street lamps and also small moon at the top. Luckily some cars passed by so I was able to photograph lamp traces and make this hazy photograph. As soon as clocks passed midnight, the fog evaporated in minutes.
Bright night
I've been looking for a night photography for a long time, but since I sold my kit lens 18-55, I wasn't able to take wide photos or even focus at dark with nifty fifty as its narrow viewing angle and a lack of focus distance screen completely prevented taking night photographs. Another hard thing is weather – its really rare for a clear sky at night in this winter. Either its cloudy or its not a weekend, because I don't want to interrupt my work day sleeping hours. This time temperatures went down and skies cleared out, so we decided to go to nearby hills and try our chances. Everything was good, and the forest air wasn't cold at all. The only one drawback was moon. It was so bright that its light covered smaller stars. I wasn't able to get even a tiny glimpse of Milky way in long exposure photos, just this kind of city view. Also we realized that even if we are high enough on the hills the city was too close – it also emitted large amounts of light. So our next task is to wait for clear moonless sky and maybe go further away from city.
Šilas bridge
I bought Tamron 17-50 f2,8 and had to take some test photos. Finally after almost one year using only >50mm ranges I can shoot at much wider as I did in this photo. A Šilas bridge at winter landscape.

Chatsworth is a neighborhood in the northwestern San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.
Originally the area was home to Native Americans, some of who left caves containing rock art, Chatsworth was explored and colonized by the Spanish beginning in the 18th Century. The land was part of a Mexican land grant in the 19th Century, and after the United States took over the land following the Mexican War, it was the largest such grant in California. Settlement and development followed.
Chatsworth has seven public and eight private schools. There are large open-space and smaller recreational parks as well as a public library and a transportation center. Distinctive features are the former Chatsworth Reservoir, the Santa Susana Field Laboratory and a number of private businesses.
The 2000 U.S. census counted 35,073 residents in the 15.24-square-mile Chatsworth neighborhood—or 2,301 people per square mile, among the lowest population densities for both the city and the county. In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 37,102. In 2000 the median age for residents was 40, considered old for city and county neighborhoods; the percentages of residents aged 35 and older were among the county's highest.[2]
The neighborhood was considered "moderately diverse" ethnically within Los Angeles, with a relatively high percentage of whites and of Asian people. The breakdown was Whites, 65.7%; Latinos, 13.5%; Asians, 14.4%; Blacks, 2.2%; and others, 4.2%. Korea (10.4%) and the Philippines (9.3%) were the most common places of birth for the 25.2% of the residents who were born abroad—a low figure for Los Angeles.[2]
The median yearly household income in 2008 dollars was $84,456, considered high for the city. The percentages of families that earned more than $40,000 was considered high for the county. Renters occupied 28.9% of the housing stock, and house- or apartment-owners held 71.1%. The average household size of 2.6 people was considered average for Los Angeles.[2]
In 2000 there were 2,933 military veterans, or 10.8% of the population, a high percentage compared to the rest of the city. The percentages of married people were among the county's highest. The rate of 10% of families headed by single parents was low for the city.[2]
Chatsworth is flanked by:[3][4]
This region experiences hot and dry summers, with average daily high temperatures between 90-100 °F. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Chatsworth has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[5]
Chatsworth was originally inhabited by the Tongva-Fernandeño, Chumash-Venturaño, and Tataviam-Fernandeño Native American tribes. Native American civilizations had inhabited the Valley for an estimated 8,000 years. Stoney Point is the site of the Tongva Native American settlement of Asha'awanga or Momonga, that was also a trading place with the neighboring Tataviam and Chumash people.[6][7] The nearby Burro Flats Painted Cave remains a legacy of the Chumash culture's rock art and solstice ceremony spirituality.[8]
The first European explorers came into the Chatsworth area on August 5, 1769, led by the Spanish military leader Gaspar de Portolà. With its establishment in 1797 and subsequent Spanish Land Grant by the King of Spain, Mission San Fernando (Mission San Fernando Rey de España) gained dominion over the San Fernando Valley's lands, including future Chatsworth.
The Native American trail that had existed from the Tongva-Tatavium village called rancheria Santa Susana (Chatsworth) to another village, replaced by Mission San Fernando, became the route for missionaries and other Spanish travel up and down California. It was part of the El Camino del Santa Susana y Simi trail that connected the Valley's Mission, Los Angeles pueblo (town), and the southern missions with the Mission San Buenaventura, the Presidio of Monterey, and the northward missions. The trail crossed over the Santa Susana Pass to the Simi Valley, through present day city park Chatsworth Park South and the Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park. In 1795, the Spanish land grant had been issued for Rancho Simi, reconfirmed in 1842 by the Mexican governor.[9][10][11] Its lands included part of current Chatsworth, westward from Andora Avenue.
In 1821, after the Mexican War of Independence from Spain, the Mission San Fernando became part of Alta California, Mexico. In 1834, the Mexican government began redistributing the mission lands. In 1846, the Mexican land grant for Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando was issued by Governor Pío Pico. It was bounded on the north by Rancho San Francisco and the Santa Susana Mountains, on the west by the Simi Hills, on the east by Rancho Tujunga, and on the south by the Montañas de Portesuelo (Santa Monica Mountains). The Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando received a Federal land patent to retain ownership by the United States Public Land Commission in 1873 and was the single largest land grant in California.[12]
In 1869, the grantee's son, Eulogio F. de Celis, returned from Spain to Los Angeles.[13] In 1874, the family sold their northern half of Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando to northern Californians, California State Senator Charles Maclay and his partners George K. Porter, a San Francisco shoe manufacturer, and his brother Benjamin F. Porter. The Porters' land was west of present day Sepulveda Boulevard including most of Chatsworth, and the Maclay land was east of Sepulveda Boulevard.[14]
The Old Santa Susana Stage Road or Santa Susana Wagon Road continued in use as an alternative to the route along El Camino Viejo from 1861 to 1875, replacing the older road as the main route between Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 1876, the Southern Pacific Railroad opened a tunnel through the Newhall Pass, enabling rail connections from Los Angeles north to San Francisco, and rail travel soon replaced travel by stagecoach between Los Angeles and San Francisco. From this time, the stagecoach traffic to Santa Barbara once again used the coast route, and the Santa Susana Pass road was relegated to local traffic.[15]
A new wagon route bypassing the deteriorating Devil's Slide was opened in 1895. Initially called El Camino Nuevo (the New Road), it was later named the Chatsworth Grade Road, which continued in use until Santa Susana Pass Road (now Old Santa Susana Pass Road) was built in 1917.[15]
The Chatsworth Branch Library, operated by the Los Angeles Public Library, is located at 21052 Devonshire Street.[16] It was rebuilt in a modern style in 2002.[17]
The Chatsworth Post Office, of the United States Postal Service, is located at 21606 Devonshire Street.[18]
The U.S. Census Bureau operates the Los Angeles Regional Census Center in Chatsworth.[19][20]
The Chatsworth Transportation Center and train station is a major transportation hub for the town and West Valley. It is served by 20 daily trains on the Metrolink Ventura County Line from Ventura to Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles, and by the Amtrak California Pacific Surfliner, with 10 trains up and down the state daily.[21] The Coast Line for freight transport by Union Pacific Railroad also uses the tracks, and was involved in the 2008 Chatsworth train collision.
The Orange Line of the Los Angeles Metro system was extended to Chatsworth Station in 2012, with a dedicated right-of-way across the Valley to North Hollywood Station of the Red Line subway.[22][23][24]
The Chatsworth Transportation Center also offers connections to several Los Angeles Metro, Simi Valley, and Santa Clarita bus routes. It is located at 10046 Old Depot Plaza Road, between Devonshire and Lassen streets.[25]
Thirty-four percent of Chatsworth residents aged 25 and older had earned a four-year degree by 2000, an average percentage for the city.[2]
Schools within the Chatsworth boundaries are:[26]
The City of Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department, California Department of Parks and Recreation, County of Los Angeles, California State Park Volunteers, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy operate the various natural open space preserve parks and neighborhood recreation parks.
A distinctive feature in Chatsworth is the Chatsworth Dam and reservoir. Originally built in 1918 as part of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system, the property belongs to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Due to increasing concerns of the water quality because of algae plumes and storm water inflow, it was taken out of service in August 1969. After the 1971 San Fernando earthquake additional concerns for seismic safety led to its abandonment by the LADWP as a storage facility. [46] Chatsworth Oaks Park and the Chatsworth Nature Preserve are located here giving views of migrating birds and other animals, and their sounds such as the coyotes calling in the evening. The views of the rocky and dramatic Simi Hills surround the open space.[47]
Chatsworth Reservoir is classified by the Los Angeles Times as a city neighborhood, but "because there are relatively few homes in this area," the Times does not provide separate statistics for it but adds them to Chatsworth.[48] The Devonshire and Topanga stations of the Los Angeles Police Department provide services in the area.[49]
Chatsworth is the home of the National Notary Association and the headquarters for Premier America (Formerly Litton Federal Credit Union) and Matadors Community Credit Union.
The Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL), once busy with Rocketdyne testing rocket engines and Atomics International doing nuclear research, is quiet and high in the Simi Hills west of Chatsworth.[50] It has been closed and will be undergoing an extensive environmental cleanup, and become an open-space park.[51] The park will permanently add to Chatsworth's scenic backdrop, greenway, and hiking opportunities.[52]
Some current businesses based in Chatsworth are: 3M Corporation, Girl Scouts,[citation needed] Capstone Turbine, Natel Engineering, Hydraulics International, and with Lamps Plus having production and distribution facilities here.
Titus Software's United States subsidiary once had its headquarters in Chatsworth.[53]

Image/Form promotes a general understanding how images work and are developed, which is a fundamental aspect of the Visual Arts. The course introduces the students to the various means by which images can be rendered, such as by drawing, painting, carving, embroidering, etching, etc., as well as by digital means, by appropriation, and by the use of ready-mades. The students are also introduced to the diverse ways in which images and forms can be manipulated, or manifested conceptually and materially by exploring the inter-relation between 2 and 3 dimensions, as well as in time-based media by the use of collage or assemblage. In doing this, we introduce them to the concept that an image's "form," consisting of its physical and spatial qualities, as well as the technical qualities of their chosen mode of production, is part of its content. By these means they are introduced to practical and semiotic nature of images and their production in the context of the contemporary by means of assignments, readings, discussions, and studio critiques. Open as elective to all majors. This course is required for all sophomore students in VATe. Offered fall.
While at CIA, you'll learn from the masters through our rigorous, world-class curriculum and connect with working professionals to begin your career.

An overnight shooting at the Castlebrook Apartments in Baton Rouge has neighbors questioning their safety and whether changes need to be made.
The complex is located one block away from Sherwood Forest and Coursey Boulevard, an area neighbors consider safe.
"I fear for my life," said a man who only wanted to be identified as 'John.'
Investigators say a man was found shot inside his apartment just after midnight. He was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
Neighbors who heard the gunshots say they immediately heard people running away from the apartment where the shooting happened.
"You see what just happened here last night, I want more patrols," said 'John.'
Investigators need your help finding the shooter or shooters in this case. If you can help the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office track them down, call their office at 225-389-5000. Right now, there are no suspects or motives.

A lot of people think that acne and other skin problems are just for the young. While skin problems may be more widespread and more enduring when you are in your teenage years, they can actually continue to plague your throughout life. If you are someone who has been blessed with clear skin in adolescence or in your adult years, you may not need any help from ClearPores. As for the rest of you, this is a very good product for clogged pores.
Skin and Acne Problems
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Like many people, you may not have taken its health and appearance seriously enough before. It is not just a covering for your body. It performs many important functions. In addition, doctors and nurses observe skin when they first encounter patients to look for tell-tale signs of health or illness.
One of the ways that your skin takes care of itself is by moistening the surface with oil. The oil is generated deep beneath the surface and brought up by channels called pores. You must have clear pores in order for this system to function well. Sometimes, for various reasons, these pores become clogged. Acne is one result of this.
The Purpose of ClearPores
ClearPores claims to be able to do much more than simply reduce your acne to a manageable level. That is the basic claim of many products aimed at teenagers and their skin. ClearPores is not just for kids. It is meant to get rid of every kind of skin blemish, including white heads, black heads and even vague patches of redness.
In fact, the makers of ClearPores claim that this product will even make acne scars disappear. This is welcome news for many people young and old who have suffered terribly with acne. ClearPores proposes to give you back the skin that you were always meant to have.
The Product
ClearPores is not just a lotion that you rub on and forget about. The reason that the makers can claim such incredible effects is that this product comes with a very specific and concrete strategy. A total of three products actually come with your purchase. You must use them in a 3-step plan and be very strict about your applications. The entire regimen should be repeated twice per day.
The first two products are a deep facial wash and a facial protection cream, used in conjunction. An herbal supplement is also included. In order to generate the results that you desire, you need to use the product daily and take the herbal supplement. This is how to get rid of acne scars as well as recurring acne.
ClearPores Facial System Reviews
This should not come as a surprise with a line of products that requires such commitment. The procedure for using these products is very strict and definite. In order to get good results, you would definitely have to follow through on these three steps. Nevertheless, some reviewers complain that they were faithful to the regimen and still did not get the desired results.
The reviews all show that the product does take a while to have an effect. Not only must you commit to the daily regimen of applying the lotions and wash in order and take the herbal supplement, you must also be prepared to stick to this regimen for a few months in order to get the full results.
Many of those who stuck with the program report a reduction in oiliness and redness during the first month. They also claim that, while acne continues to appear, it goes away more quickly. Overall, ClearPores simply helps your face feel and look fresher during this period. It is helping your body to do its job and heal itself. The product can unclog pores so that the skin can function properly.
The second month continues these benefits and adds to them. Smooth is one word that a reviewer uses to describe her skin. Even people who had runaway acne before using ClearPores state that pimples and acne were reduced even further, down to just one or two per week. Even these signs of acne will go away quickly. This is natural because the skin is now equipped to handle these issues and channel away the excess oil.
The third month is key. ClearPores acne treatment is sold in three-month supplies because it takes that long for the various elements of the product to get pores clean and for your skin to react to this cleansing by resuming its normal functions unimpeded. Some people say in their reviews that they had no acne by the time that they were in the third month. Others, equally happy with the results, reported only occasional pimples that did not last very long.
Watch Out
Not everyone is so positive about the product. One reviewer reported that ClearPores did, in fact, make his skin smoother but it also appeared to increase the size of the acne he already had. Others complain about the price. It is not just that each quantity of the product is more expensive than another. The problem is that many do not like having to buy a three-month supply in order to get good results.
Buying It
As with everything else on the Internet, you can find ClearPores available for different prices. Some people have paid over $100 for this skin product. If you look hard, you might find the three-month supply for less than that. You need to make sure that you get all three products in your purchase.
Given the large number of positive reviews, ClearPores system seems like a good choice for clear skin. If you need to know how to get clear skin and how to get rid of acne scars fast, you will not find anything faster than ClearPores. If you can commit to the product, it looks like it can give you results.

Economist: Britain should go forward with tough spending cuts. NYT: North Korea tries to create brand awareness. Asia Times: Obama's 'return to Asia' policy causes regional disputes.
China must steer clear of its own lost decade
Ethan Devine, a partner and portfolio manager at Indus Capital Partners, an investment firm specializing in Asian markets, writes in Foreign Policy that China followed Japan's development model, and if it is not careful it may also experience an economic slump. He argues that China will only succeed if it understands where Japan went wrong.
QUOTE: Sure, Japan's export boom funded stellar growth for four decades. But its undervalued currency eventually helped blow one of the largest bubbles in history, the bursting of which still hobbles Japan today. Japan's famously dismal demographics didn't help, but China's aren't much better.
Despite the potholes and collapsing bridge, India will outpace China
An opinion piece in the Economist argues that despite what looks like a disaster over the Commonwealth Games, India is doing well as a growing economic power. It argues that India will soon start to outpace China because of its young population and democracy.
QUOTE: India's state may be weak, but its private companies are strong. Indian capitalism is driven by millions of entrepreneurs all furiously doing their own thing.
Japan's budget debate will test prime minister's leadership skills
Tobias Harris, a former aide to a DPJ lawmaker and a doctoral candidate in political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writes in the Wall Street Journal that the debate over Japan's new budget and stimulus package will test Prime Minister Naoto Kan. He will have to forge deals with other parties to push forward his efforts to boost the economy.
QUOTE: It would be possible for Mr. Kan to assemble a majority behind important economic measures, if he can muster the leadership skills. However, Mr. Kan has thus far looked uninspiring when it comes to taking command of the policy agenda.
A revolution is brewing in America
Columnist Thomas Friedman writes in the New York Times that there is so much disgust and disappointment in the United States with the Democrats and the Republicans that a strong third party will emerge for the next presidential election. He argues that this third party is needed to reform the country without worrying about offending unions and lobbyists.
QUOTE: There is a revolution brewing in the country, and it is not just on the right wing but in the radical center.
Britain should go forward with tough spending cuts
An opinion piece in the Economist argues that the British government's plans for steep public spending cuts may have gone too far. The plans have sparked fears that Britain could experience a double-dip recession. However, it argues that the cuts should still go forward.
QUOTE: Spending cuts work better than tax rises when cutting deficits, if only because they tend to stick. The government has won credibility not just among voters but also in the markets for its tough plan. It cannot afford to lose that now.
North Korea tries to create brand awareness with photographs
Journalist David Sanger writes in the New York Times that North Korea's release of photographs from its recent Korean Workers' Party conference shows that the government is trying to create brand awareness. The regime has a very short time to convince the public to accept Kim Jong-Il's son as their next leader.
QUOTE: "These are pictures about one united party, one enduring bloodline," said Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute, "and an obstinate refusal to change direction."
Obama's 'return to Asia' policy causes regional disputes
Journalist Peter Lee writes in the Asia Times that the United States deserves much blame for the recent political tensions over the South China Sea and the East China Sea. He argues that President Obama's announcement that the United States would get more involved in Asia's affairs led to China's assertiveness as well as greater courage on the part of America's allies in the region.
QUOTE: Certainly, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam have been more willing than before to yank the whiskers of the Chinese dragon.
Asian nations form a new strategic partnership
Brahma Chellaney, professor of strategic studies at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi, writes in Project Syndicate that across Asia a new "security architecture" is being created. This comes as China shows its assertiveness, and nations fall back on the United States to ensure stability and security.
QUOTE: China's overly assertive policies have proven a diplomatic boon for the US in strengthening and expanding American security arrangements in Asia.
China watches Myanmar's election with concern
Stephanie Kleine-Ahlbrandt, North East Asia project director at the International Crisis Group, writes in GlobalPost that China is closely watching Myanmar's upcoming election because it worries that clashes between the army and ethnic minorities could destabilize the region.
QUOTE: Beijing has just cause for concern after the Myanmar military's August 2009 offensive into the Kokang region shattered a 20-year cease-fire and sent more than 30,000 refugees into China's Yunnan province
Growing income inequality makes Americans anxious about their wealth
Columnist Gillian Tett writes in the Financial Times that Americans now view their own wealth and prosperity with a sense of angst. This change in the national psyche is a result of a fierce debate over extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, the financial crisis and a growing acknowledgment that income inequality is growing in the country.
QUOTE: These days there is a growing recognition that resources are not always bottomless. There is also rising doubt about whether the economic pie will keep growing, given America's structural woes.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are definitely more than friends! While The Vampire Diaries cast members have yet to officially confirm their relationship, sparks flew between the two at a pool party in Palm Springs, Calif. over the weekend!

Gosh, they are so lovely. I think people are just drawn to them because they are so sweet, happy and normal like, without all the Hollywood drama. And they are both such good, caring people. I wish them all the best. They still look so into each other after two years together..wow.

The nation's largest drug chains were among the top retailers cited by consumers in terms of shopping for groceries, fresh meals and other items from a nontraditional source, according to a survey by King Retail Solutions.
Retail News Breaks Archives
EUGENE, Ore. – The nation's largest drug chains were among the top retailers cited by consumers in terms of shopping for groceries, fresh meals and other items from a nontraditional source, according to a survey by King Retail Solutions.
The retail design firm said Friday that the fall 2013 poll of over 1,200 Millennial, Generation X and Baby Boomer consumers, done in tandem with the University of Arizona Center for Retailing, revealed that store categories are blurring amid evolving shopper attitudes about where they will buy groceries, fresh meals, clothing and services ranging from haircuts to health care.
Specifically, shoppers were asked about their behavior and decision making in purchasing these items from nontraditional sellers — for example, buying a fresh meal from a drug store or getting a flu shot from a supermarket.
In terms of buying groceries at outlets that aren't grocery stores, the top five retailers named by shoppers were Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy and Costco. Rite Aid came in at No. 12. Also cited by consumers were Dollar General (No. 6), Dollar Tree (No. 8), Kmart (No. 10) and Family Dollar (No. 13), along with leading convenience store chains.
Seventy-seven percent of shoppers said they bought groceries from a nongrocer in the previous 12 months, and 96% said they would do so in the coming 12 months. Fifty-two percent of people reported they buy groceries from a nongrocer more than once a month. After cost, convenience and quality were cited as key factors for shopping these venues.
Of the items purchased from nongrocers, shoppers cited canned/boxed groceries (59%), dairy (54%), bread (49%), fresh fruit and vegetables (42%), frozen (38%) and meat (22%).
Among nongrocer outlets named by consumers, 66% said they purchase groceries at big-box stores, followed by convenience stores (43%), drug stores (30%), dollar stores (30%) and discount stores (7%).
The study also found that in the previous 12 months, 24% of shoppers made a grocery list that they intended to fulfill entirely at a nongrocer. Of those consumers, 79% did so at a big-box store, 25% at a pharmacy, 18% at a dollar store and 7% at a convenience store.
Age was a key indicator of willingness to buy groceries at nontraditional grocery outlets, according to the survey. For instance, 47% of Millennials said they buy groceries at a drug store, compared with 37% for Generation Xers and 36% for Baby Boomers. The demographic most likely to purchase groceries at a drug store is urban, male Millennials, 49% of whom said they've do so.
Fresh prepared foods are one category where drug chains in recent years have expanded their offerings, particularly with grab-and-go items such as sandwiches, salads and ready-to-eat meals. And the results of King Retail Solution's survey indicate that these efforts are bearing fruit.
Of places where people buy fresh prepared food that aren't restaurants, drug stores were named by 9% of shoppers polled. The leading non-restaurant outlets for fresh meals were supermarkets (74% of consumers), big-box stores (44%) and convenience stores (28%). Quality was cited as the top factor, followed by cost and convenience.
And of the top 20 non-restaurant outlets where people said they like to buy fresh prepared foods, Walgreens came in at No. 14, and CVS/pharmacy was No. 16. The top five were Walmart, Target, Costco, Safeway and Kroger.
"It can't all be about one-stop shop, but if it's a retailer they appreciate, they are going to shop there. And if new, nontraditional items are available for sale, they are going to buy those items," Andrew Swedenborg, executive vice president at King Retail Solutions, said in a statement. "Expanding what you sell is only a part of the equation. Delivering a valuable shopping experience is the real challenge."
In terms of buying apparel at a non-clothing store, 13% of shoppers said they do so at drug stores. Eighty-one percent reported they buy apparel at big-box stores, followed by dollar stores (15%) and convenience stores (4%). Of the top 10 non-clothing stores where people said they buy apparel, Walgreens was No. 4, CVS/pharmacy was No. 7 and Rite Aid was No. 8. The top three were Target, Walmart and Costco.
The study defined services as nontangible purchases such as pedicures, oil changes, massages, haircuts, and health exams and treatments. Of venues that aren't traditional service providers, big-box stores were cited by 52% of consumers as places where they buy services, followed by drug stores (32%), department stores (14%), supermarkets (14%) and convenience stores (11%).
According to the survey, the top 10 places where shoppers buy services — that aren't traditional service providers — were Walmart, Walgreens, Target, CVS/pharmacy, Costco, Sears, Rite Aid, Sam's Club, Fry's and Kroger.

Ingredients & Description
Estro Pro Cream is a naturally derived transdermal, progesterone and estrogen cream that can be useful in coping with the symptoms associated with the decrease in hormone production during perimenopause, menopause and following a hysterectomy. Estro Pro Cream has been formulated to match the natural pattern of circulating estrogens found in the female body; 80% estriol, 10% each of estradiol and estrone. Progesterone should be no less than 480mg per ounce of cream. The advantage of transdermal application is absorption and the patented delivery system has been designed to allow for the highest possible absorption. Estro Pro Cream delivers progesterone directly into the blood stream, thereby avoiding the problems associated with poor digestion and liver breakdown, which can occur with oral supplementation. Progesterone should always be used in combination with estrogen.Achieving optimum health and vitality depends on several factors: a nutritious diet, a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and adequate rest. Dietary supplements can also contribute to a sense of vitality and well-being by ensuring that the body receives the nutrients that are essential for good health and functioning properly.
