16: A garden anchored by an ancient avocado
Gaku Nakagawa was born in the temple Zuisenji, Kyoto in 1966. He studied Buddhist art at university and worked as a copywriter after graduation. He is also a monk of the Jyodousyu sect. Since 1996 he has worked as an illustrator, producing images that are described as informal yet truly sophisticated, if similar to some 1950's illustration. His work appears in Monocle's animated 50 Things to Improve the Way You Live (Flash interface), at the Welsh Assembly website: Your Assembly (6mb pdf), and elsewhere like the outside of Heartwood Cafe. He also illustrated a children's book, Ice Cream Once a Year. You can get some of his illustrations in a zip file.
"Find yourself surrounded by the things that support you".
Experience the art of Jerry Pinkney [Artists webpage], a master of the American picturebook whose unforgettable visual narratives reflect deeply felt personal and cultural themes, bearing witness to the African-American experience, the wonders of classic literature, and the wisdom in well-loved folk tales. A belief in the ability of images to speak about and to humanity is at this legendary artist's core. His artworks celebrating life's small but extraordinary moments and significant historical events reflect the power of visual storytelling in our lives, "becoming the voice that others may not have had."
His commissioned work, and illustrations are an incredible body of work, but also don't miss his independent creations either. [more inside]

Simply Incredible
Stephen Biesty is an award-winning British illustrator famous for his bestselling "Incredible" series of engineering art books: Incredible Cross-Sections, Incredible Explosions, Incredible Body, and many more. A master draftsman, Biesty does not use computers or even rulers in composing his intricate and imaginative drawings, relying on nothing more than pen and ink, watercolor, and a steady hand. Over the years, he's adapted his work to many other mediums, including pop-up books, educational games (video), interactive history sites, and animation. You can view much of his work in the zoomable galleries on his professional page, or click inside for a full listing of direct links to high-resolution, desktop-quality copies from his and other sites, including several with written commentary from collaborator Richard Platt [site, .mp3 chat].

Scary Sketches to Glimpse in the Dark
Nearly three decades ago, folklorist Alvin Schwartz published Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the first of three horror anthologies that would go on to become the single most challenged book series of the 1990s. But most of the backlash was against not the stories themselves (which were fairly tame), but rather the illustrations of artist Stephen Gammell. His bizarre, grotesque, nightmarish black-and-white inkscapes suffused every page with an eerie, unsettling menace. Sadly, the series has since been re-issued with new illustrations by Brett Helquist, of A Series of Unfortunate Events fame. Luckily for fans of Gammell's dark vision, copies of the old artwork abound online, including in these three image galleries: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones. Interested in revisiting the stories themselves? Then don't miss the virtual re-enactments of YouTube user MoonRaven09, or the dramatic readings of fellow YouTuber daMeatHook.

The Age of Uncertainty
The Age of Uncertainty is my new favorite blog. It's by a gentleman bookseller who works in a warehouse in Sussex processing lorryfuls of used books. He shares the most interesting things he finds, commenting with wit and sensitivity. He also writes entertainingly about his everyday life. Let me point you towards his series of extracts from a diary that came to his warehouse, detailing the life of Derek, an employee of the government who converted to Mormonism. It was a fairly normal life, but the excerpts are fascinating. Here are the entries in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. He also posts beautiful images he finds, such as Victorian color plates: 1 and 2. Still, it is the remains of ordinary lives washing up on his shores that most enthralls me, such as this tear-inducing post about a family photo album which was sent to his used books warehouse.

"What garlic is to food, insanity is to art."
They Draw and Cook: The art world intersects with the food community at They Draw & Cook, a clever blog started earlier this year by sibling design and illustration team Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell (together they run Studio SSS). Each day, They Draw & Cook features a new recipe illustration by a practicing artist, illustrator, or designer. The recipes vary in both style and content and are submitted from all over the world.

Re-creating an old school building
Board proceeds with sale of Parkway Recreation Center
West Allis — The West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board has authorized district administrators to proceed on a $1.1 million sale of the Parkway Recreation Center.
The district will use the money, as planned, to help finance the purchase of two former Allis-Chalmers buildings on 70th Street that it will use to consolidate operations.
The district is also selling off other properties. Still on the market is the district administration building, the former Roosevelt Elementary School and two other pieces of vacant land.
Purchaser and purpose
Business Services Director Deb Rouse would not disclose the buyer because negotiations are not over.
However, according to West Allis Development Director John Stibal, the city has received plans for a day care center involving the site. No other information was available, and the West Allis Plan Commission has not yet reviewed any plans.
The transaction still must meet the usual contingencies, such as environmental inspection, survey, financing and West Allis Common Council approval.
The sale's closing date will be no later than Dec. 1. Rouse said that while she couldn't talk specifics, she was excited about the potential new addition to the community.
Once an elementary school, the Parkway Center, 2930 S. Root River Parkway, now holds the school district recreation department and some programs.
Relocating programs
The Recreation Department will move into its new offices at 1205 S. 70th St. later this year, Rouse said.
In addition to the rec department, officials have previously said they expect business services, the technology department, other administrative personnel and a host of other programs and departments to move in by the end of this year.
The district also plans to open a charter school at 1135 S. 70th St. that will house Dottke Alternative High School and programs run through the Cooperative Educational Service Agency, plus other offerings.

BeershebaProject-2-311. (photo credit:Planned science park in Beersheba.)
It's breakthrough time for Beersheba. Long regarded as little more than a dilapidated, dusty desert town, today Beersheba, the "Capital of the Negev," finds itself undergoing a complete head-to-toe makeover. According to the Beersheba 2020 blueprint recently published by the city's aggressive young mayor, Rubik Danilovich, Beersheba is about to burst onto the international scene as a thriving urban desert oasis where quality of life reigns supreme.So confident is Danilovich of his city's metamorphosis that he's put his own credibility on the line. A few weeks ago, Danilovich sent each household in Beersheba a colorful 32-page 2020 brochure setting forth some 35 projects, facilities and civic improvements he intends to build or implement – including a timeline specifying when each project will be completed."No other elected official in Israel has ever done anything like this," Danilovich says. No doubt he's right about that: Most politicians tend to avoid committing themselves to anything specific, let alone a host of major projects with "due dates" attached. Danilovich doesn't see it like that. "I'm not a politician," he says. "A mayor's job is to lead – not to be led. Publishing the 2020 brochure, our 10-year plan, is all about responsibility and transparency. "I ran for office saying I wanted to turn this city completely around, fill in the gap of 30-35 years during which there wasn't much invested in Beersheba. Now people have expectations – as do I. But we don't have billions of shekels to accomplish everything all at once. "My objective in publishing the brochure – in pinning a date on which each project will be accomplished – was to let everyone know what they can expect. We all have pet projects, specific civic improvements we'd like done first. Some we can do now, some will come later.The 2020 brochure lets everyone know what our priorities are, which projects we're doing right now, and which will have to wait. The citizens of Beersheba deserve that kind of accountability."In plotting a 10-year timeline, Danilovich, now in the second year of his five-year term, sets forth plans that exceed his own term of office. "That's taking responsibility," he says. "This is the first time civic officials here have done any long-term planning at all. I believe it's my obligation not only to look at my first five years in office but to go beyond, into the future. Even if I'm not elected again, the city will still have a path to follow, a clear, ordered set of priorities. "The only way you can move ahead effectively is to know what your obligations are, and when they will occur. We projected Beersheba out a full 10 years. That's just good planning."Providing a timeline was the first objective, and the second was to drum up enthusiasm and commentary. "I want the people of Beersheba to be my partners in this," Danilovich says. "What we set out to do was establish the three main objectives for renewal: designing the image of the city for the future; branding the city with a common theme that will be echoed again and again in each new project; and providing a strategic plan for development. "This isn't something my staff and I did by ourselves – we had input from professionals, experts and opinion makers of all kinds. Now that the brochure is out, we're hoping for public involvement, too. The changes coming about for the city of Beersheba represent an unprecedented investment in everything from transportation to infrastructure, to attracting industry and tourists, to improving culture and the quality of life for everyone. We need to work together."The first project set forth in the brochure seems destined to knock just about everybody's socks off. In landlocked Beersheba, an artist's drawing depicts a lovely lake surrounded by trees. A lake? Boats, in Beersheba? Indeed. One of the biggest projects on the drawing board is Park Nahal Beersheba, which involves the revitalization and recharging of the Beersheba River, which up until a year ago looked more like a Superfund site than the watery paradise shown.Specifically, the new River Park will encompass 5200 dunams (5.2 sq.km) including a 100-dunam lake, surrounded by any number of leisure and recreational sites including restaurants, cafes, galleries and boat rentals. Then there's the spectacular futuristic lake-side amphitheater with seating for 12,000 – the largest in Israel – which will be further enhanced with recreation and sports areas, playgrounds and more. Bikers and walkers fare well: They can choose the path around the lake, or instead make their way around the 250-dunam Central Promenade, which is three kilometers long – just about right for an hour-long walk.The Promenade and Montreal Bell Park – a restful 40 dunams of eucalyptus, plants and picnic areas – are both complete and already in use. For visitors who come into Beersheba on the train, an astonishing new sight greets them from the train windows. A considerable distance outside the city proper, part of the 400 dunams of additional walkways, bike paths and inviting little rest areas are also complete, with trees planted and vegetation growing.Still to come is the completion of the historic Beit Eshel Park, which will serve as the official entrance to River Park. A courtyard with historic remnants of the settlement that once stood here is done. Now a park is being built around the courtyard, recounting the story of the farm this once was, as well as the importance of the site during the 1948 War of Independence. Also undergoing restoration is the Ottoman Bridge – one of the city's most recognizable icons – and opening it to walkers and bikers. Ottoman Bridge will connect the Beduin Market in the north to River Park's Central Promenade in the south. "All of this is already funded," Danilovich says. "We received NIS 150 million from the government, plus additional funds from the JNF, the IDB Group and from a number of private donors as well."Other significant elements within the River Park include Pipe Bridge, a fanciful collection of Mekorot water pipes that looks something like a Star Wars artifact, as well as a huge Sportek complex.All these water-themed projects made several Beershevites ask, "Where's all the water coming from? I thought we were in the midst of a serious water shortage!" That's another project, the mayor responds – also near completion and ready to begin functioning soon: the Beersheba Municipal Water Purification Plant.Several years ago, the city began the construction of the plant to recycle collected waste and runoff water. All the water for all these projects, all around the city, will be recycled water, reclaimed instead of wasted. The technology to purify waste water to the levels required to meet drinking water standards is still too expensive to be feasible, experts say, but the water quality is fine for fountains, lakes and ornamental waterfalls. "We won't be wasting water anymore," the mayor says. "We'll be reusing it."Moving along, the brochure details no fewer than four new shopping malls. The first, Kenyon Beersheba, billed as the only completely ecologically planned mall in Israel – not to mention the biggest – is timelined for opening in 2012. Visitors to the 115,000-square-meter enclosed mall will be greeted by three waterfalls, augmented by pools for collecting rain water and air conditioner condensation, channeling it for irrigation reuse. According to developer Eli Lahav, there will also be an 8,000-meter green park with bike lanes beside the mall, extensive use of natural lighting throughout, and solar panels on the roof. Community rooms for classes, youth and IDF gatherings and a club for senior citizens are also part of the plan.A second mall, Seventh Avenue, scheduled for opening later this year, will be located near the existing BIG and One Plaza shopping areas. An artist's drawing shows tree-shaded open areas surrounded by shops, cafes and rest and recreational areas.The third mall – a Farmers Market – slated for opening in 2012, will be integrated with the River Park project. Based on a European model, this will be the first of its kind in Israel. Some 400 spaces for fruit, vegetable and food service vendors will be available. An artist's drawing shows an interesting enclosed circular building surrounded by parks and greenery.The next project is sure to delight everyone who's ever ridden a bus into – or out of – Beersheba. Finally, a new enclosed Central Bus Station – and such a bus station! The glitzy glass-enclosed complex is part of a joint effort by the Ministry of Transportation and the city, and will include enclosed shops and cafes in addition to convenient access to arriving and departing buses. Construction is due to start this year.The key to these projects, Danilovich emphasizes, is that they're all designed to reflect the same vision, a uniform common theme that will gradually be integrated into the city of Beersheba as a whole. "The first thing on my agenda when I came to office was to preserve Beersheba's unique history," Danilovich says. "We must remember our past – if we don't, we'll have no future."One thing Beersheba never capitalized on is our unique relationship with the biblical Abraham, a figure central to three different faiths. One of the first projects I personally began working on was to create the Avraham Avinu center, turning the current small Abraham's Well center into an international-quality tourist attraction designed to appeal to visitors from around the world. "This project is already funded – we had an initial donation of NIS 12 million to start, with another NIS 6 million from a donor in Phoenix who has, unfortunately, passed away. Another NIS 4 million came from Mifal Hapayis and NIS 2 million from the Ministry of Tourism. "The Avraham Avinu center will be built on several levels and will include sensitive and quality presentations about our forefather calculated to inspire people from all three religious traditions. Construction is starting now, and the center is scheduled to open in 2012."Sports fans will find much to love about the new Beersheba. North of the city, pegged to be ready in 2013, will be the new Sports Complex, with a 16,000-seat soccer stadium, in addition to an enclosed 3,000-seat multipurpose sports hall which can be used for everything from basketball, handball and volleyball to gymnastics and even artistic performances or music. The idea for the Sports Complex – like several others – isn't new, the mayor says. "Some have been discussed for years, others even started. But in the last several years, with the economic turndown and other existential challenges Beersheba faced, the projects weren't moving along as quickly as they should. So what I did was pour resources into these existing projects and pin a completion date on them. We're indebted not only to previous city officials and their staffs who worked intensively on many of these projects but also to donors who have been generous to Beersheba over the years. Now when we complete these projects we hope to justify their confidence in us."There's still more sporting news: A new matnas or community center in the Ramot neighborhood is scheduled to open in 2012. It will include both a library and a sports facility. Then too, a Park Extreme will open in 2012 in the western part of the city near the Country Club. For lovers of extreme sports of all kinds – including bikers and skateboarders – having their own space will be a boon. This area will be fully handicap-accessible and outfitted with many elements designed to appeal to the special-needs population.Already sprouting up all over the city are the colorful outdoor public fitness parks filled with exercise equipment of all kinds. All these mini parks are accessible by bike and walking paths, and each is filled with equipment suited to all ages and levels of fitness, from kids to seniors.And that's still not all: A "Katregel" – similar to little league soccer – facility will open, complete with fields, locker rooms, bleachers and a cafeteria, aimed at encouraging pickup games as well as scheduled events.Just when you think you've heard it all, a beach sports center is scheduled to open in 2012, also in the western part of the city. The Beach Sport Center will let Beershevites hone their beach volleyball and beach soccer skills.This isn't the first time Beersheba has waded into beach activities. Last summer, the Keren Hayesod Switzerland Youth Center – located in the very center of the Old City – hosted a fabulously successful beach party right on their front plaza. "One really hot day last summer, we hauled in truckloads of sand. We had volleyball games, synthetic grass, a swimming pool and a DJ. Everyone was dancing," laughs director Ya'ir Naggid. "We even made Channel 2 news – 'Do you believe it?' they said. 'They're having a beach party in Beersheba!'"The Youth Center is another of Danilovich's pet projects, initiated when he was deputy mayor. "When Rubik was deputy, he came around to several of us and asked, 'What do you need in this city?'" Naggid recalls. "I was a radio broadcaster then, and I knew one of the things young people needed was a place to rehearse. We didn't have a recording studio. There was no open theater in Beersheba, no TV studio. The kids told me that if they weren't already famous, there was no place for them to perform. So I wrote it all down and gave it to Rubik. "'I can't promise anything,' he told me, but he took it all and gave it to the city architect. 'I'm just like any Beershevite,' Rubik told the architect. 'I don't have any money. But this is what I want you to plan. If we get our donation, you'll get paid for doing the planning.'"The architect agreed, put together a portfolio project, and Rubik started looking for donors. The Swiss loved it and, working together with Keren Hayesod, we got our Youth Center."Today the Youth Center is a focal point in Danilovich's plan for recreating Beersheba's Old City. The plan – which involves many different projects – is to make the Old City Beersheba's center for culture, tourism and community activities of all kinds. "We're pouring tens of millions of shekels into the Old City," Danilovich says. "We're upgrading the infrastructure throughout, rebuilding streets and walkways, redesigning traffic patterns to make it easier to get around. We're using tax breaks and other incentives to lure cultural, recreational and other kinds of small business to locate there. We plan to fill it with galleries and cafes, small shops and shady restful places to walk, eat, browse, socialize and enjoy the best Beersheba has to offer. "The Old City will be the essence of Beersheba's quality of life, style and culture."The Old City's newest success story is the renovated Ottoman-era building at the corner of Negba and Hahagana. Not long ago, the enormous building was a crumbling eyesore – vacant, broken windows, gaping doors, crumbling stonework – but in late April, the beautifully restored three-story building celebrated its opening as the headquarters of the Or Movement, where it will function as the "Gateway to the Negev." With an expected 250,000 visitors a year, the Gateway will promote the development of the Negev by playing host to anyone – investors, donors, tourists, potential residents or new olim – who shares their vision for the Negev. As the Negev's official host, the Or Movement will offer presentations, attractions, information and a visitor center, complete with restaurant."The Gateway bears another distinction: It was completed far ahead of schedule. The 2020 brochure pegs its completion date at 2012, but the public Grand Opening is only a few months away.Nearby, the first stirrings of "Museum Row" also appear. With four individual museums within close proximity to each other, the "2020" plan is to link them together with special walkways and street furniture. One – the historic Ottoman Mosque, built some 100 years ago during the reign of the Ottoman Empire – had, up to 1991, been used as an archeological museum. Declared structurally unsound, it was closed and then legal disputes gobbled up the years. Today the full restoration is nearly complete. The mosque will reopen as the Museum of Archeology later this year.Another nearby Ottoman structure, known locally as the Sheikh's School, is midway though a major reconstruction and addition which will ultimately turn it into a Science Park by 2012. Funded by Keren Rashi, the restored Turkish building, plus a new above-ground building in addition to extensive underground construction, will serve as a hands-on science center where kids can experiment and learn in conjunction with the nearby Ilan Ramon Physics and Astronomy Center. Because much of the construction will be underground, the surface area will provide another park and green-space recreation.Third on "Museum Row" is the massive transformation of the old Turkish Train Station into a Railroad Museum and heritage center, pegged for completion in 2013. "The train station demonstrates the centrality of Beersheba both now and in ancient times," Danilovich says. "It's another part of the city's iconic riches."Already operational is the Negev Museum of Art, one of the Old City's most beautiful buildings. "Built in 1906, this was the original Governor's Residence during the Ottoman era," says museum director Noga Raved. "Since 2004, we've been offering tours of the historic building itself in addition to our mission as a fine arts museum, with rotating art collections that change every few months."Starting on May 17, the popular summertime "Monday at the Museum" music series begins its fourth annual season. Popular musical artists appear and perform outdoors, while up to 1,000 people enjoy themselves while lounging on the grassy lawn. The concerts are a blend of music with an informal interview, orchestrated by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Hebrew literature Professor Nissim Calderon, who created the program. "It's a chance for the citizens of Beersheba to mix with BGU students, enjoy the music and have a chance to carry on an informal conversation with the artists," Raved says. "While they're here for the music, many people come inside the museum and enjoy the art, too."One of the more underrated projects in the 2020 brochure is "The Quarry," which lacks, at this point, a targeted completion date. To Beersheba activist Ethelea Katzanell, that's unfortunate. "The quarry – a hole in the heart of the city – is really an important ancient geological site located between the Bet and Daled neighborhoods," she says. "Lots of people don't even know it's there – it's fenced off, so you'd have to make a special effort to see it. "I'm surprised this project isn't being pushed forward – it has a big potential for quick implementation, and doesn't involve a tremendous amount of money."The influential Katzanell serves on a host of city advisory boards. "I'm on the Environmental Committee, the Historical Site Committee and both the Tourist and Beautification Committees," Katzanell laughs, as she ticks the assignments off. "Anything having to do with what the city offers people, both residents and tourists alike. To me, the Quarry is such an important asset to Beersheba, and one so close to completion, we should be moving ahead on this now. "The history is fascinating. It started back in the 1980s. when the BGU Geology Department studied the area and proposed turning the quarry into a geological site – you can see the strata going back millions of years. They presented the idea to the city as an educational and tourist site very much like other geological sites all over the world. Nothing happened. They couldn't find a sponsor."In 1994, the project was resurrected. An English version of the proposal was written up and presented again. All the city offices signed off on it, permits were approved, everything was ready – even a sponsor had been found, a French donor. "Just as it was ready to go, the sponsor, for whatever reason, withdrew. And the project dropped out of sight, again."In 2007, I heard a rumor that the project was going to be killed – that a tower was going to be built on the Quarry site," Katzanell continued. "I was horrified. I rewrote the project for a third time, included everything that had been proposed before, and turned it over to "Earth's Promise," a local environmental organization. Together with their experts, geologists and environmentalists, they proposed the creation of a Geo-botanical Park and Center for Environmental Education, in conjunction with the Nature Protection Society. The Park would include all the geographical distinctions, the strata marks, plus all the unique local vegetation for teaching and study. "I'm surprised another sponsor hasn't been found. This is a relatively modest project in terms of cost, and the city has already signed off on it. The Quarry Project could be completed pretty easily. I'm hoping that now, in 2010, we can finally move ahead with this."Other groups – like Beersheba's Yad Sarah chapter – also long for their scheduled due date. A new Yad Sarah building is very near completion, exactly on target, says local director Michael Benson. "I'm not sure when the official grand opening will be held, but on my calendar, I've marked August 22 as the day we stop seeing clients at our old location and start seeing them in the new building," he says. "It can't happen fast enough."Still today, Yad Sarah volunteers work out of a 300-sq.-meter building. "Our new three-story building will have 3,800 square meters," Benson says. "I'm spending time right now rounding up many more volunteers to help because as soon as we make the move, we'll be able to offer so many more services. We need lots more help.""We're incredibly cramped where we are," Benson admits. "We don't even have space for volunteers to sit. Just recently we took on two new volunteers – one in charge of getting more volunteers, the other in charge of PR – but the only place either of them can find to sit is at my desk. So when they use my desk and my telephone, I have to go somewhere else. "We run a program offering free legal advice, but when the lawyer is here, he uses my desk too, so again, I have to move elsewhere. Probably worse than inconvenience is the lack of privacy. People come in needing help with some very personal problems they'd rather not broadcast. But there's nowhere private they can go to explain."We just can't wait to get into the new building. A lot of people tell me, 'When you get moved into that new building, you'll have so much space you won't know what to do.' That makes me laugh. Have no fear on that score: I know exactly what I'm going to do!"Among the new services will be an exhibition to help people know and understand what kind of equipment they need to borrow. "We'll have occupational therapists – all volunteers – on hand to make sure the correct equipment is offered. We'll expand our equipment repair facility. If we can repair more of our damaged equipment, we'll save money, too. "We have many other programs to add, too; helping senior citizens with home repairs is just one. But right now, I'm looking for another lawyer who speaks Russian so we can expand our legal advice service. "At the moment, we have one Russian-speaking lawyer, a Beduin, who's our most sought-after volunteer. He speaks Arabic, Hebrew, Russian and English. Now, sometimes, people who need his help have to wait two or three weeks for an appointment. When we get moved, we need several more like him."All of this is just a small part of Danilovich's "2020" vision for Beersheba. Some of the most important parts feature enhancements being made to existing neighborhoods and the improvement to existing services. The brochure specifies that the city goal is to take three older neighborhoods a year, renovate and redevelop them, redoing the infrastructure, adding green features, upgrading streets and sidewalks. Bus riders will be happy to hear that improvements in the public transportation system are in the works, too. Four new bus lines with 120 buses will be added for improved service. All in all, over the next five years, more than a billion shekels will be invested in Beersheba.New residential neighborhoods will spring up, too. In the western part of the city, 1,200 dunams are being developed by the Ministry of Housing and the city, which will add some 1,500 high-quality private homes, scheduled to be completed by 2011. "People should know they won't have to move to Omer or Meitar if they want a lovely single-family home," the mayor says.Is all of this possible? Is the "2020" plan viable? Activist Katzanell says yes. "I didn't play any direct part in putting together this brochure," she says. "But I'm delighted with the plans and the timelines the mayor has offered. Sometimes I hear people saying, 'It's all just promises that have been made before,' or 'This is just another glossy brochure we'll throw in the garbage.' "That's not right – not this time. What Rubik has proposed here isn't unrealistic at all. I believe fully 95% of what he's promised will come to pass in the time he specified – the only exceptions might be some of the long-term wishes and goals he's identified, things out beyond the 10-year scope. "I don't think any of this visionary plan amounts to blind promises or wishful thinking. These things are real. They can be done – and, as you can see, some of them are being completed even before their scheduled date."

Rumors Circulate: Verizon and iPhone
POSTED: Monday, December 27, 2010 - 3:37pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 - 3:33pm
The Apple iPhone rumors are already buzzing again on Verizon iPhones as Digitimes reports that Apple has increased the number of iPhones it is shipping during the first quarter of 2011.
The shipment of units has increased from 19 million to between 20 million and 21 million units. The shipment goal for CDMA iPhones is set at 5 to 6 million units, the Digitimes sources have said. The CDMA version of the iPhone that Digitimes mentions would be compatible with Verizon's network.
Fortune magazine had reported in October that it had confirmed Verizon would be releasing an iPhone in early 2011.
Comments News Comments
Yah well whats funny is they don't tell you which iPhone it will be. 3G? or 4G? I doubt its iPhone4 though.
A better story would be about the rumor of cricket wireless will be shutting down internet on flashed phones in the near future. So no internet/MMS just voice/text is all you get on flashed phones.
Now thats a tech story!
Well, let's really hope that the iPhone does go to verizon because I will get it, but I just sold mine to www.swapngreen.com and made some extra cash might as well have right?

With more new mothers in the workplace than ever before, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of child-care facilities in the United States.
At the same time, data from a variety of sources point to a growing prevalence of overweight infants and toddlers.
Is there a connection?
According to a new study co-written by University of Illinois community health professor Juhee Kim and Karen Peterson, a professor of nutrition and society at Harvard University's School of Public Health, child-care factors and feeding practices may indeed play a role.
"Our study is the first to report, to our knowledge ... the potential importance of infant child care on infant nutrition and growth," the researchers said in an article published in the July issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, a publication affiliated with the Journal of the American Medical Association. "The results of this study indicate that structural characteristics of child care, such as age at initiation, type and intensity, were all related to infant feeding practices and weight gain among a representative sample of U.S. infants."
Specifically, Kim and Peterson found that 9-month-old infants who routinely receive non-parental care provided by relatives, licensed day-care centers or more informal child-care providers may experience higher rates of unfavorable feeding practices. The babies also weigh more than those whose primary caregivers are their parents.
The researchers' findings could have significant public-health ramifications, as weight gain in infancy can ultimately be a predictor of obesity later in life.
Obesity, in turn, is linked to a number of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as adulthood morbidity and mortality.
In their study, Kim and Peterson analyzed baseline data from a nationally representative sample of 8,150 9-month-old infants to determ

We go to eat good things, to drink interesting wine, to be well-taken-care-of, and to let our minds wander while we take in the waterside view of, say, boats rocking quaintly beneath a handful of poignant stars. That exact combination of factors is tough to come by in Lauderdale. If Woods can deliver the goods, she's some kind of wonderful.
So, can she? Let's have a look.
926 NE 20th Ave.
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
Category: Restaurant > Italian
Region: Fort Lauderdale
1. Good things to eat: Check. One of Serafina's signature dishes, a $16 starter, is composed of six sweet, grilled shrimp basking on an island of buttery, cheddar-laced grits flecked with licorice-scented tarragon. A moat of deep, terra-cotta-hued sauce -- tomatoes, roasted peppers, and a dash of goat cheese for creaminess and punch, blended smooth -- surrounds the island and its sassy inhabitants. If you can get all these ingredients on your fork at once, you'll be happy. And if you throw caution to the wind and sop up the last remnants of that tart, smoky sauce with Shari's dense, homemade rosemary foccacia, you will be happy and perhaps no longer hungry. This little dish, so rich and fine, would make a terrific entrée with a green salad.
But you'll be surprised how much you can eat when you put your mind to it, and on a recent Friday evening, my mind was fine-tuned. A caesar salad ($9) made a nice demi-course between appetizer and entrée: leaves crisp and buttery; chunky, crisp croutons; one silvery, fresh anchovy perched on top as if surfing the green waves. And the whole thing was tossed in a creamy parmesan dressing. The anchovy infused the salad with its pungent, sea-faring flavor, muscular and salty as cheese. I would have liked two anchovies or even three, but then, I'm a fool for fresh anchovies.
Woods, it turns out, came to Fort Lauderdale four years ago, drawn by the grandfather, aunt, and parents who live nearby; wanting to get warm; and probably hoping to put some distance between herself and her ex. Shari and Seth Woods met at the Culinary Institute of America as students in the late '80s and went on to open two of the most popular neighborhood restaurants in Boston's South End: Metropolis, a Mediterranean/American bistro, and a bit later, the French-accented Aquitaine across the street. You'll find occasional echoes of both menus at Shari Woods' Serafina -- a fois gras paté ($12), her warm chocolate pudding cake with vanilla ice cream ($8), a wild mushroom and truffle risotto ($16), or a smoked corn soup ($8). But Woods has done more than just recycle her old successes. She's serving Florida yellowtail snapper ($28), free-range roast chicken ($20), margharita pizza ($11), and a gaggle of pastas and risottos ($19 to $26). There's a light and fresh paella ($26) made with saffron- and lemon-infused rice topped with sautéed clams, scallops, and shrimp, along with chicken and chorizo. And a Moroccan tagine ($18) of spicy couscous, roasted peppers, chickpeas, and almonds for hard-line vegetarians.
Her chef de cuisine, David Hagan, has put his stamp on the kitchen with a couple of knockouts: that fabulous grilled shrimp with grits and a sinful dish of glazed beef short ribs ($28).
Outrageously rich, those short ribs; we took half of our serving home. They're boneless, slow-cooked in broth until they're so tender that they fall apart at the flick of the fork -- and then they're doused in a soft, almost caramelized red-wine reduction. This melting meat lolls on a buttery divan of orzo tossed with béchamel sauce and chopped escarole, and the whole thing is topped with a whimsical handful of feather-light shoestring fried onions -- a plump socialite wearing an outrageous hat. It has a gazillion calories, and you can taste every delicious one of them.
A savory dish of rigatoni ($18) has a reinterpreted Bolognese sauce of tomato, wine, chopped prosciutto, ground lamb and beef, the licorice trace of star anise, plus a sprig of fresh basil. It's got great mouth feel and a delicate sensibility. Another beauty.
What we're looking at here is a fashionable, tasty bistro menu with an occasional flash of humor. Call it Mediterranean or neo-European. It changes seasonally, with minor tweaks and nightly specials, to keep our curiosity piqued.
2. Interesting wine: Check. Woods has hand-picked a small selection of intriguing bottles, mostly from Italy and California, like the Col d'Orcia Olmaia cabernet from Tuscany ($125 a bottle), a white Vermentino from Sardinia ($27 a bottle), and the Due Uve pinot grigio/sauvignon blanc blend from Veneto ($34 a bottle), to complement her menu. You can have a glass of Ironstone Obsession ($6) with dessert, one of my favorite light summer wines: a fruity, almost fizzy beverage made from the hybrid Symphony grape. It's a good match with Woods' handmade strawberry shortcake ($7) -- sliced ripe strawberries swirled in whipped cream between two dense disks of buttery shortcake, with a flicker of chopped mint providing a green tang. A raisiny vin Santo ($10) works well with Serafina's vanilla-scented crème brûlée ($7). A lovely, sparkling Moscato d'Asti ($7) pairs nicely with Shari's warm chocolate pudding cake ($8) and a scoop of house-made vanilla ice cream.

Ohio Won't Withhold School Funding For Those Skipping Tests
Ohio's superintendent says the state won't withhold funding to penalize schools for students opting out of standardized tests this year.
Listen to the Story
Whether police had the right to use GPS monitoring to catch a pair of Central Ohio home invasion suspects is going to the Ohio Supreme Court. Deputies put the device on the suspects' car. The problem is they did not have a warrant. Prosecutors defend the deputies' actions but civil libertarians say the case is an example of technology moving faster than the courts.
Police arrested Montie Sullivan and an accomplice in Columbus in January 2010 shortly after a Fairfield County home invasion. Franklin County prosecuting attorney Ron O'Brien says investigators quickly caught the men because police were monitoring their movements electronically.
"Because they had been tracked on this device the deputies were immediately at the scene and arrested them shortly thereafter,†O'Brien says.
Deputies say they were monitoring the pair because they were suspected in other home invasions. But the defendants say the use of the GPS monitor was illegal because deputies did not have a warrant to use it.
Last year Common Pleas Judge Michael Holbrook threw out some evidence in the case because deputies did not get a warrant to put the device on Sullivan's car.
Two weeks ago an appeals court upheld the judge's decision. Prosecutor O'Brien has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to rule on the matter.
The U.S. Supreme Court has dealt with this issue. In 2012 the court ruled in United States v. Jones that using a GPS tracking device constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Professor Ric Simmons teaches law at Ohio State University.
"The key issue in the Jones case was whether or not the police could attach a GPS device to an automobile and track the person for 28 days. The Supreme Court said that law enforcement cannot do that without a warrant,†Simmons says.
But Franklin County sheriff's deputies tracked Sullivan's car – without a search warrant – two years before the U.S. Supreme Court rendered its decision. Because the court had not yet ruled on warrantless GPS monitoring, O'Brien says deputies acted appropriately.
"At the time, they were acting in good faith, and not contrary to law so, there weren't any court decisions that said you can't do that,†O'Brien says.
OSU law professor Ric Simmons says the Sullivan case hinges on timing.
"There's no question going forward that they [the police] have to comply with U.S. Supreme Court precedent. But because they attached the GPS to this car before the Jones case came down, we have to decide whether or not it essentially applies retroactively; whether or not the police violated the law – even though they didn't know what the law was at the time,†Simmons says.
The American Civil Liberties Union says it's a perfect example of technology out-pacing the legal system. Gary Daniels is the Ohio ACLU's associate director.
"Where technology has become so prevalent and so widespread and so affordable, there's this very real issue of law enforcement using technology to surveill our whereabouts and who we're talking to and a variety of other information about us and trying to fit it into a framework of past court decisions and thinking that did not take technology into account,†Daniels says.
O'Brien says police in Franklin County now obtain search warrants whenever they use tracking devices.

Leaner New Year for China

BEIJING — Chinese New Year is traditionally a time for colourful and noisy displays of fireworks and generously portioned banquets. This year, the festivities are likely to be a little more austere.
Authorities have asked the public to set off fewer fireworks in Beijing to reduce pollution, and a new anti-extravagance drive has prompted government officials and state-owned companies to cancel their banquets at high-end hotels. As well, a campaign against food waste is leading to half-portions in restaurants
Even advertisements for luxury goods were pulled ahead of Saturday's opening of the seven-day holiday.

Jacks father said, "ever that happened was real. the time you spend with these people was the most important part of your life".
This season, 'sideways flash' was more of a ultimate flashforward.! Everything that happened on the island was real, people died, people lived, different people came and went and/or tryedto take over the island.
In the end the island was taken care of. the MIB was dead. So evil was not going to leave the island. The island itselfwas not have evil, The MIB was evil and should'nt leave the island. Jacob had someone to look after the island, Hurly, with Ben's help.. And when it was their time to die Hurly and Ben died.. Remember Hurly said to Ben sitting outside the church. "you were a good second," and ben said to Hurly, "you were a good number one" This says they lived and most likely died on the island.
The people in my idea of the ultimate flashforward did NOT die all together or all at one time. Charlie died when he drowned, Boone did from having the plan fall on him, Jin and Sun died in the Sub.. and so on.. This 'flashforward' was them all getting together, when they 'all found each other when they needed to or when they were ready.
the people that flew off in the plane the last time. Frank and Kate and Sawyer and Clair and miles, lived... in another lost world we find out what happened to them, did Kate and Sawyer have a life together, did Miles still have Nikki and Paulo diamonds and how did they explain how Claire was still alive.? But we won't.. we have to live with that open ending.. Even in the real real world we don't always have an ending.

Which, does Payne see Netanyahu as OUR "fearless leader"? Too many seem to.
I nominate we drop a nuke on Iran to teach the globe not to build nuclear weapons
I nominate we attack Iran to teach the globe that countries should not be hostile
Anyone whom disagrees is a commie
So Payne thinks Netanyahu is the sheriff and our president should be his deputy?
Very patriotic of Payne. -
We give Israel nukes and money, not the other way around.
Clever cartoon. You folks in the USA are aware that your incumbent is regarded as a particularly competent diplomat on the world stage? Unlike his predecessor (worst ever) and his current competitor (may become worst ever).
Just my opinion as a foreigner, shared by nearly everyone outside the USA. -
You want a "deputy" in the White House to carry out your orders, you'd better hope Romney wins.
I think Netanyahu (not particularly noted for diplomatic panache) has managed to do the exact opposite of what he really wants, and given the incumbent a "leg up" endorsement by saying that he can't control this puppet.
Possibly the most impressive thing ever said about you incumbent. -
Seems like you've missed that no one likes the current admin.
Why would he start now? He's too busy going to fundraisers and campaigning because he desperately wants to keep his job. Too bad he can't act like a pres for a change…
Just give Iran the same deal we gave the USSR, Mutual Assured Destruction. Except the West gets the Mutual Assured and Iran gets the Destruction.
@MM, many of us here in the USA are aware of this and we are quite frightened that the rethuglicons (republicans) might "win" (steal) the election again.
Great strip, Obama has been about as bubbling on the world stage as any President before him. Him and Carter.
Obama should be Sharif but he is to busy to even meet with Net who is trying to keep his country from being bombed on a daily basis. At least Net and Mitt are already friends. It not like Mitt will run off to Vegas, have fund raiser with a rap star and go on Letterman before meeting with our Only Allie in the middle east. Then again if Obama could not be bothered to meet with the head guys in charge of our National Security the week before 9-11, where he could have learned of the potential of the riots, if Obama would have bothered to take that 3 am phone call after Libya was attacked, he could have might have been the "Sharif" but hey we are lucky he is even considered the deputy. -
@Mighty Mouse "You folks in the USA are aware that your incumbent is regarded as a particularly competent diplomat on the world stage?"
Of course when you bow to ever other power and give away the store, you to could be seen as "competent"
The USA can be and was exceptional, respected and feared under Both Bushes Clinton and RR. You have to go back to Carter to find such lack of fear and respect on the world stage. -
gricks said, about 1 hour ago
Seems like you missed Obama's approval rating is over 50%but but he oh he is oh,
keep chanting that hop and change. -
Henry, you would drag us into yet another war in the Middle East?
