Leroy Jethro Gibbs Quotes
Pride: There's things you trust when you live in Louisiana. Trust the river will rise, people will rise to the occasion, no matter what the challenge. Trust the rain will never stop pouring, the drinks will never stop flowing and music will never stop playing.

Melinda Krueger | September 9, 2011 | Comments
Developing a coherent and cohesive customer experience is a herculean task. Need it be this way?
In the early days of direct marketing, I was fortunate to belong to a group called the Inbox Insiders. It was a humble listserv, with members from a variety of backgrounds and industries: vendors, marketers, agency people, client-side people. Through this network, I could ask a question - either philosophical or technical - and get a response in minutes. It was invaluable to my career and my Email Diva advice column days. The job I have today, in fact, came from a shout-out to the Inbox Insiders.
Today the group is called Only Influencers, and there is a group starting up for the mobile community. For selfish reasons (the more people that join, the better it works for all) and for your professional growth, I urge you to join. Right now there is a free six-month trial membership, so you can try it out. Warning: you may get a lot of messages, so you may want to use a secondary email account.
One thing I take exception to is the group's ban on salespeople. Throughout my career, I've learned tons from salespeople. In a sophisticated marketplace such as ours, the vast majority of salespeople are looking to build relationships, not harass cold leads. You may even find that the product /service they offer is just what you need.
Let's be honest - few of us can consider ourselves to be true experts of mobile marketing. Even those who can, recognize that the rules and players are changing daily.
Mobile connects channels to extend the experience. QR codes, for example, can connect print to YouTube, point of sale to mobile web, or direct response to Facebook. Research on a mobile device is more likely to lead to a desktop or in-store purchase than a mobile purchase. As JiWire's Mobile Audience Insights Report (registration required) reveals, of those who did research on a mobile device:
As a result, integration and collaboration are more important than ever before. In addition to collaborating with our peers in the mobile arena, we need to collaborate with our co-workers.
Most of us have suffered from the existence of corporate silos. With different departments responsible for TV, radio, print, DM, store ops, email, social etc., developing a coherent and cohesive customer experience is a herculean task. Need it be this way?
In most situations, silos rise up not because of what executives are doing purposefully but rather because of what they are failing to do: provide themselves and their employees with a compelling context for working together.
- Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars: A Leadership Fable About Destroying the Barriers that Turn Colleagues into Competitors by Patrick Lencioni (Jossey-Bass, 2006)
The companies I've known that transcended marketing silos developed an integrated marketing calendar, showing the primary messages each season and describing every department's execution. Then they meet regularly to discuss each group's efforts and pave the way for post-meeting collaboration.
One stumbling block is each department's desire to put its own stamp on the creative execution, which is often determined by those with the longest planning cycles, i.e., broadcast and print. My advice to the latecomers: Get over it. Your job is to create a coherent customer experience, and the graphic look and feel is a huge part of that. The other stumbling block is the inability to share assets across agencies. Collaboration tools like Basecamp and Microsoft's SharePoint are invaluable for this purpose and to foster inter-agency communication.
These are exciting times to be in the interactive marketing business. With collaboration and a strong support network, we can delight our customers and enhance our skills. I hope you'll join me in Only Influencers for Mobile Marketers. I may have a question - or an answer - for you.

The hours of the night passed quickly and the first rays of the morning light began to show through the window. The warm light on his face made Loki open his eyes slowly. He had found peace in his sleep, which was not something he could usually find when awake. Sif's words from the prior night still haunted him. He wondered how much this man Gallan knew of his niece. Not much, it would seem since he had not come for her, and Sif insisted she was the only one that knew Caedra was even related to this man. But Loki could never be careful enough. His bargain with Sif could be easily broken by either person. Even so, Loki couldn't say he was completely ungrateful that she was giving him something of a chance to keep Caedra.
He glanced down and smiled. Caedra lay curled up against his chest, her hair a tangled mess in her face. She breathed steadily and (more importantly) peacefully. Over the past week she'd had a few more nightmares, but it was becoming less of an occurrence.
Caedra stirred and opened his eyes, staring up at Loki innocently. With a gentle smile on her face she snuggled closer to him and giggled softly.
Loki gave a faint and tired smile as he kissed the crown of her head. He still wondered why Caedra trusted him now. What had happened to the "monster" that had found her? Did she still see him that way or did her trust in him blind her of the darkness she had been told?
Enough, Loki thought. It didn't matter why or how she trusted him. It only mattered that she did. Caedra's love and trust was more than he could have ever asked for from her, and it was certainly more than he deserved.
Caedra turned her head up again and looked at him. "Is it time to get up?" she asked softly.
Drawn out of his thoughts by her sweet voice, Loki nodded. "Yes," he answered as he slowly sat up.
Caedra, full of life, jumped out of the bed and ran to a nearby table, grabbing a brush and furiously tried to smooth out her tangled hair.
Loki smiled as he watched the child who was now oblivious to his presence as she focused on the task of brushing her hair. He turned and slid out of the bed and walked to the door, just as a servant opened it.
The servant was startled by the sight of Loki, and despite her fear she recovered herself of her shock as she lowered her eyes from his intense gaze. "Forgive me," she murmured.
Loki continued to glare at her but he ignored any other thought. This servant was only here to do as she was bidden. "Help her get dressed," he said, motioning to Caedra. "I will return shortly."
As the servant nodded quickly and turned her attention to the child, Loki left the room and returned to his own chambers. There, he bathed and dressed himself in clean clothes – black pants and a green tunic, of course. As he stepped back out into the hall, he ran his slender fingers through his dark hair, only then realizing how long it had truly gotten. But he liked it that way. His semi-unkempt hair was somehow a symbol (to himself at least) that he was not who he once was. He had stopped pretending that he was an Asgardian prince. He was the servant of no master but his own.
Reentering Caedra's room, he saw the young child dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, fingering the tips of her braided hair as she waited for him. As soon as Caedra saw Loki, she jumped off the bed and ran to him, clinging to his leg.
The servant was still there, and she gave a soft laugh at seeing Loki's surprise to Caedra's action. One glare from the god of mischief quieted her laugh, however, and with an awkward bow she left the room.
Loki knelt down and gently pried Caedra from his leg. "Where shall we go today?" he asked softly. Each day, Loki would take Caedra to a certain area of the palace and let her explore somewhat so she could become familiar in the palace where she now lived.
Caedra's brow furrowed as she thought of where she wanted to go. She looked up at Loki with almost a mischievous look in her eyes. "Outside!" she answered eagerly.
Loki hesitated. "Outside" was a place he had been avoiding taking her. Though he was forbidden to leave the palace grounds, there were still many places outside where someone might see Caedra and recognize her as the tradesman Gallan's niece. Though Sif had sworn she was the only that knew, Loki was still cautious.
With a sigh he straightened up. He couldn't explain all that to Caedra. She was but a child and would not understand. "Would you rather go back to the library? He asked. "You like the stories there."
"No!" Caedra objected, taking Loki's hand and trying at the vain attempt to pull him towards the door. "I want to go outside!"
Loki sighed again and stepped towards the door. There would be no deterring this child from what she wanted. There was at least one place "outside" that Loki felt was safe enough to take her. "Alright," he agreed, looking down at her. "We can go to the gardens."
The gardens of the palace were a beautiful place, but Loki hardly seemed to notice as he and Caedra stepped out into the bright sunshine. The entire palace was filled with memories that he tried very hard not to recall. The gardens had once been a place that Loki would go to clear his thoughts. Now, it was only a bitter reminder of the life he once lived.
Despite Loki's reluctance to go out, Caedra couldn't have been more pleased. As soon as they stepped out into the gardens, she let go of Loki's hand and started running towards the fountain, laughing joyfully.
As Loki watched her go, he couldn't help but smile. It was good to see how well Caedra recovered. She was still quiet and somewhat withdrawn, but she was still an energetic child and around Loki, she felt comfortable enough to be that energetic child.
Loki slowly followed after her and sat by the edge of the fountain as Caedra ran around and climbed up next to him. Holding onto his arm with one hand, she leaned down and dipped her fingers into the water, squealing in delight at the cold feel. She pulled her hand away quickly, incidentally splashing Loki at the same time.
Loki laughed as he wiped his face dry with the sleeve of his tunic. It had been a very long time since he had truly laughed, and it felt good.
"It is good to see you in such good spirits again, Loki," someone said from nearby.
Loki's face immediately turned grave as he looked to see who approached him. Frigga gave him a soft smile as she sat next to him. "The child is also doing well, so it seems." She said as she glanced at Caedra.
"You seem surprised that I am capable to care for her," Loki replied absently, starting forward.
Frigga sighed. "Yes, but it is a pleasant surprise." She answered. "One would not expect you to care for a child like-"
"Like what?" Loki snapped, cutting her off as he turned rather abruptly to face her. "An orphan? A child that is abandoned, a child with no family? I would think it rather fitting for me to care for a child like that!"
Frigga was silent, for she knew there was nothing she could say that would calm him.
Jaw clenched and eyes blazing, Loki did not realize how much he had raised his voice until he felt a small hand reach for his. Turning back, he saw Caedra starting at him, speechless, her eyes conveying an emotion he had not seen in her since the day he had found her – fear. She feared his anger, as she rightfully should have. Were it any other time and were it any other child, Loki would not have cared. But seeing the tears begin to form in Caedra's eyes, Loki wished he could have been smart enough to keep his hanger in check.
He stroked her hair gently and he tried to give her a comforting smile. "It's alright," he whispered to her. "I'm sorry I frightened you."
As Caedra gave a soft sniffle, Loki saw out of the corner of his eye a servant walking by. He didn't give it much thought, but he thought it was odd that a servant should be here at this time. He would have confronted the servant, but his attention was too focused on Caedra.
Upon hearing Loki's apology, Caedra smiled again. She wrapped her small arms around his neck in a tight hug before climbing down from the edge of the fountain and going off towards the flowers.
Frigga gave a soft sigh as she stood, still looking at Loki, who was watching Caedra. "She calms the anger in you," she observed. "One can only wonder how." She turned away slowly, leaving Loki and Caedra alone once again.
Lucius hurriedly ducked around the corner and out of sight to where he'd last left Dronicus. "Well?" Dronicus persisted as he stared at his still friend. "What do you say?"
Lucius grinned wickedly. "He doesn't suspect a thing," he replied. "I walked right passed him and he didn't even notice. Now all we need is to get him away from the child."
"How?" Dronicus inquired.
Lucius grinned again. "That should be of little trouble. I heard that the king has sent for Loki just recently. If we return to the garden and wait, we may even take her today."
"Alright," Dronicus agreed as he turned to follow Lucius.
Just as Loki thought he would be left alone, he was greeted by yet another "friend." And this person was even less welcomed than Frigga.
"Greetings, Loki," Lady Sif called to him as she approached, glancing from him to Caedra. "And greetings to you as well."
Caedra grinned and ran over to Sif, hugging her and handing her a flower that she had picked. Other than Loki, Sif was the only one Caedra trusted well enough. The only reason for that was because Sif would visit with Caedra often. Loki, of course, did not approve, but his hands were tied.
"What do you want, Sif?" Loki growled at her, not standing as was custom.
Sif looked up from Caedra and stared at Loki. "Is that any way to greet a friend?" she asked him.
"You are not my friend," Loki replied harshly, though being careful to keep his voice low. He did not wish to frighten Caedra again.
Sif smirked at him. "Oh, but I am your friend, Loki, even if you refuse to see it."
Loki ignored her. He didn't believe her. "I ask you again, Sif," he continued. "What do you want?"
Sif straightened up and took a deep breath. "Thor wishes to speak with you."
"Of what matter?" he asked.
"I don't know," she answered. "But he requested your presence immediately."
Loki sighed and rubbed his forehead slowly. He was tired, and Thor was the last person he would want to speak with. If only there was some way he could avoid speaking with him. "I cannot leave Caedra here alone." He said. It was a cheap shot at an excuse, but surprisingly enough, it was true.
"You should not be gone for long," Sif replied. "And I shall stay with Caedra until you return."
Loki glanced up at her and glared. "You would like that, wouldn't you?"
Caedra, though not understanding the extent of their conversation, knew that Loki was to leave. She stepped over to him and held out the last flower she had picked. "May we go to the library when you come back?" she asked timidly.
Loki smiled at her softly as he took the flower. It was a red flower, and was similar in appearance to the Midgardian carnation. "Yes," he said, kissing her softly. "When I return, we shall."
Caedra smiled contently as Loki stood.
"I will be back shortly," he said to Sif, who smirked and crossed her arms as she watched Loki leave.
When he was gone, she looked back to Caedra. "Shall we play a game while we wait?"
Caedra nodded eagerly. "Yes! What game?"
Sif thought for a moment. "Why not hide and seek? I will count and you go hide. But do not leave the gardens. Understand?"
Caedra nodded again. "I won't leave." She promised. "Start counting."
Sif smiled and closed her eyes. She could hear Caedra's small feet run along the ground as she searched for a place to hide. When Sif reached the count of ten, she opened her eyes. The garden was silent and the child was nowhere to be seen. Searching for Caedra was not difficult. She was but a young child and Sif an expert at tracking. Even still, she took her time.
After a few minutes she found Caedra hiding behind one of the rosebushes. She giggled in delight as Sif caught her.
"You hide well," Sif said with a laugh as Caedra hugged her, but something out of the corner of her eye made her pause. Standing a few feet away was a young man dressed as a servant, but Sif did not recognize him. The man stared at her and Caedra intently, a twisted smile on his lips.
"What are you doing here?" Sif asked quickly.
The young man gave her a crooked smile and raised his finger to his lips.
Suddenly, Sif felt someone grab her from behind as a cloth was held over her mouth and nose. She struggled and tried to scream, but she could do nothing. Just as she slipped into unconsciousness, she heard Caedra scream.
Loki had hardly gone any distance from the gardens. Though he did not wish to be gone from Caedra for too long, he was in no way eager to speak with his brother. What did Thor want from Loki this time? Whatever it was, it no doubt had to do with Caedra. Thor seemed to enjoy threating Loki about her.
He was just about to quicken his pace when a sounded reached his ears that made him stand stock still. It was a scream – a child's cry. But not just any child. It was Caedra. Though he was now in the palace and a fair distance from the gardens, he could still hear her cry as if he had been standing right by her side.
Something was not right. Without another thought Loki turned around and sprinted back down the hall, weaving his way back to the gardens. There was no one in sight when he arrived. "Caedra!" he called, but there was no answer. He searched the area quickly, a sense of fear and panic rising within him. Where were Sif and Caedra? As he rounded the corner, he stopped, his eyes wide.
There, on the ground by one of the rose bushes was one of the flowers Caedra had picked, along with a torn fragment of her dress. Loki knelt down quickly and picked up both items, still searching with his eyes. "Caedra!" he screamed, his sharp voice echoing through the empty place. There was no answer. Caedra was gone.

Republicans Shift View of Court After Health-Care Ruling
July 11 (Bloomberg) -- Republican voters, who in April approved of the way the U.S. Supreme Court was doing its job by better than 2-1, reversed their opinion after justices voted to uphold President Barack Obama's health-care law, according to a poll released today.
The survey by Hamden, Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University found 54 percent of Republicans disapproving of the high court's performance and 35 percent approving. In April, Republicans approved of the court by 62 percent to 23 percent.
Democratic voters' job approval for the Supreme Court increased to 64 percent from 44 percent in April, and their disapproval fell to 24 percent from 38 percent.
The poll was taken July 1-8, after the Supreme Court on June 28 upheld the law aimed at providing coverage to millions of Americans who lack insurance.
"We didn't ask why voters felt the way they did about the court, but it's obvious there is great disappointment among conservatives that the 5-4 decision on health care went against them," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the university's polling institute. "It is reasonable to assume that's why the standing of the court in the eyes of Republicans has dipped."
The court's job approval among all voters was 47 percent, the lowest in four years and down from 52 percent in April, while the percentage of those disapproving grew to 41 percent from 31 percent. The survey of 2,722 registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 1.9 percentage points.
The poll found that 51 percent of Republican voters disapproved of the job being done by Chief Justice John Roberts, who broke with the court's conservative wing to uphold the health-care law. Sixty-two percent of Democrats polled said they approved of Roberts's performance, while 19 percent disapproved.
In April 2010, after justices voted 5-4 along ideological lines in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission to reverse decades of precedent and remove limits on corporate and union political spending, 52 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of Democrats said they approved of Roberts's performance.

Big Ten endearing itself to RB Ollison
By Jared Shanker
One of the fastest-rising prospects in the East is Buffalo (N.Y.) Canisius running back
Qadree Ollison
, who has seen several Big Ten teams come for him the last few weeks.
The latest is Penn State, and while the Nittany Lions have not offered, Ollison says the PSU coaching staff is very interested following a visit for the spring game.
"Their facilities are excellent ... and I got to go to the weight room and go on the field, talk to the coaches," Ollison said. "It was a great visit."
Spring game star Akeel Lynch is from Ollison's area and the two played against each other in high school. Penn State guard John Urschel is a Canisius graduate.
"He speaks highly of Penn State," Ollison said of Urschel. "He told me to keep working and don't worry about not getting an offer and I'll get one eventually."
The Nittany Lions run a pro-style offense under Bill O'Brien, which is something the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Ollison is looking for in a program. Most of the 11 teams to offer him run a pro-style offense, including Iowa and Wisconsin, two traditional ground-and-pound Big Ten teams.
The Badgers are one of the latest to offer Ollison, who is high on the Badgers already. He isn't ready to name any top schools, but Wisconsin has caught his interest.
"There is no secret: They're going to run the ball," Ollison said. "They're not going to trick you. They're going line up and play smash-mouth football."
For Ollison, he said things really began picking up after Rutgers offered. So, there is a certain loyalty to the Scarlet Knights, who hosted Ollison for a visit. He called it a "great school" and likes that the school is also moving to the Big Ten.
Ollison will visit Pittsburgh on Saturday.
"One thing I found pretty cool is they practice right next to the Steelers, which is really cool," Ollison said. "I'll know a little more and like a little more when I get there Saturday."

In February of this year, Damian was on his way to Griffith Park on his bicycle when he was hit by a van and dragged along with it. Damian's leg was amputated in the recovery, but he made an oath after the accident, "There was no way that I was going to have that accident and not get back on my bicycle." He vowed to finish the ride, and after months of physical therapy, Damian is ready.
When you sponsor Finish the Ride, you will be part of a movement reaching out through thousands of websites already reporting on Damian's story to an audience of millions.
However, overcoming all odds will not end with Damian finishing the ride, but will begin. This is also an inspiration for others to succeed.
The event is produced by the LA County Bicycle Coalition, a bicycle advocacy group whose purpose is to make LA healthy, safe and fun for all bicyclists, so accidents like what happened to Damian never occur. Sponsor proceeds will go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation ® which recognizes the athletic greatness inherent in all people with physical challenges.
Join now and be part of the movement!

well, this week I'm gonna make up my final tests I missed last week being sick...which really stunk |D I also didn't get to say my final goodbyes to most of my friends T.T' well, hopefully my parents will let some friends come visit me, 'cause my summers are never that social and I want that changed! XD things get lonely too quickly...since I don't have any friends nearby as neighbors or anything ._. just an 11 year old I occasionally play with along with my lil sister...they're friends |3 still, there's gotta be someone in my neighborhood my age...and there is, but he doesn't seem interested in being my friend T_T' he loves basketball though, I could just randomly play with him sometime if I can! XD
anyways, I have plans for this Summer =3 first off, I'll be practicing some game programming with a book n' such that my older bro passed down to me then I asked my mom today if she could buy a flip-book with blank pages for me to animate with, 'cause I really wanna practice animation! I'm also hoping to either be in karate or basketball during the summer >=3 it's hard to choose between the two, though XD
and hot weather is something I hate, but it's worth the school break! I'll be doing mostly indoor things, including exercises, anyways XDD
hope you guys are doing okay and have a great summer as well either now or soon! ^^ I'm patiently waiting for my slightly late break |3

My first project posted to the Forum!
So I wanted to upgrade my Hella 500FF's to HID to try and get some more output out of them. I bought a Xentec H3 35W 6,000K Slim Ballast kit for about $35. Xentec is the only brand I have used and NEVER had a problem with them and their kits are covered by a 2 year warranty if you ever need it.
-Hella 500FF's --$60--
-Xentec H3 35W Slim Ballast 6,000K Kit --$35--
-4 1" Gromets from Napa --$3--
-Big Strech Black Sealant --$6--
Pulled my lights off the truck for the conversion.
Took the screw out of the plastic lens retainer on the bottom of the light.
Then I pulled the wires back through the rear part of the housing and set the rear part of the housing aside for now.
Then I pulled the metal keeper loose that holds the bulb in and removed it. You can't reuse it as the rear part of the bulb is to long and its physically impossible.
Here is a pic of everything I will be using.
With the metal retainer clip removed since it won't work I just bent the metal prongs over against the base of the bulb and then wrapped a small zip tie around them to hold the bulb in. I got it as tight as I could.
Then I drilled a 7/8" hole in the exact center of the rear of the plastic housing since the rear part of the bulb is to long to fit under the housing unmodified.
Perfect fit!
Front pic of the bulb installed.
I bought a tube of Big Stretch Sealant at the lumber yard. Its a greyish/black color, will stretch twice its size before it tears and is removable if a bulb goes bad.
Then I put a good layer of the sealant around the base of the bulb and let it set up for 20 minutes.
I bought some 1" gromets at Napa for $2.99. They fit great in the hole but are kinda deformed from the rectangular shape of the base of the bulb.
Then I put the sealant around the gromet and sealed it up. I also made sure to seal up the old gromet.
Lights installed back on the truck.
I mounted the ballast on the radiator core support using the supplied adhesive strips.
Hooked the wires up to the Hella harness and ran them down the core support and behind the battery box up the firewall.
Much brighter then they were!
They are a little bluer than I wanted but they will work!
Night shot.

Ghost Solution Suite (GSS) support for Windows 7 and 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Article:TECH156239 | | | Created: 2011-03-22 | | | Updated: 2013-09-10 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH156239 |
Microsoft has recently released a Service Pack (SP1) for both Windows 7 and 2008 R2
GSS 2.5.1 supports Windows 7 and 2008 R2 and while we normally suggest that the latest Service Packs be applied, GSS has not been certified for use with SP1 for these Operating Systems and therefore cannot be fully supported.
Although currently there have been no reported issues that can be directly attributed to Windows 7 or 2008 R2 SP1, the Symantec Support Team would like customers to report reproducible problems. Our Support Team will work closely with customers to help resolve those problems, but until fully certified, a resolution may not be achieved. You may also be asked to try and reproduce the issue in a non-SP1 environment.

The Eurozone may be in freefall, and governments across Europe may be slashing their culture budgets, but countries are still investing in their national pavilions at the world's most prestigious exhibition, the Venice Biennale (1 June-24 November). In a survey of national representatives of largely European pavilions and collateral events in the Giardini and across the city, budgets for biennial projects are in line with the 54th biennale in 2011, or have even increased.
The British Council has provided £250,000 funding for this year's exhibition at the British pavilion featuring the artist Jeremy Deller, the same amount as in 2011. Meanwhile, the Arts Council of Wales, which is supported by the Welsh government, is "undertaking a two-year project with a planned overall budget of £400,000. This is comparable with our presence at the Venice Biennale in 2011," a spokeswoman says. This year's Welsh collateral project, entitled The Starry Messenger, is by Bedwyr Williams. Other countries such as Greece, Turkey and Germany are also investing in their Venice presentations (see below).Jens Hoffmann, the deputy director of the Jewish Museum in New York and the co-curator of the 2011 Istanbul Biennial, says the Venice Biennale is such a prestigious event "that the participating countries will always put resources towards the realisation of their exhibitions in the national pavilions, or find other sources to cover the costs". "Perhaps despite the economic climate, contemporary art and the level of visibility that an event such as Venice brings to countries is higher, which translates as more investment," says Adriano Pedrosa, the co-curator of the 2011 Istanbul Biennial. He adds though that the organisational budgets generally remain low in Venice in comparison with other global cultural events such as the World Expo. One country, however, that is feeling the effects of the global financial meltdown is Italy, where public debt as a percentage of its GDP is now above 130%. Vittorio Sgarbi, the curator of the Italian pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2011, said he received around €1.5m in state funding for his Venice show but this year, the government will contribute only €600,000 (€400,000 is allocated to exhibition costs such as the production of works, 90% of which are site-specific; €200,000 goes towards operational expenses). In a radical move, the pavilion management, including the curator Bartolomeo Pietromarchi (the director of the Macro: Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma), has launched an appeal for private support based on the "crowdfunding" model. This method is used by institutions such as the Louvre in Paris, which continues to raise money for acquisitions through its "Tous mécènes" (all patrons) campaigns.A 90-day fundraising period was launched in February with events in Rome, Milan, London and New York. "The money donated will go to a dedicated bank account. The funds will be spent by the curator, in collaboration with Italy's ministry of culture," says a project spokeswoman. More than €140,000 had been raised as we went to press. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the Spanish pavilion, which is partly funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, declined to comment on whether funding levels for its show of work this year by the artist Lara Almarcegui, had increased compared with previous biennials. Established and emerging countries represented at the biennial maintain and fund their pavilions in different ways. The 29 pavilions in the Giardini, many of which were founded in the early 20th century, are the property of the individual countries and are managed by their ministries of culture, says a biennial spokeswoman. "The new permanent pavilions at the Arsenale—Argentina, Holy See, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates—sign an agreement to pay the costs of renovating the assigned spaces in exchange for a long-term lease," she says. The countries at the Arsenale that request a temporary exhibition space, such as Turkey (see below), pay a hire fee per square metre. Greece"In spite of the deep current crisis we are going through, we are still there [in the Giardini] and we want to maintain a strong presence in the international art world. The difficulties our society has experienced over the past few years has released a great amount of artistic creativity," says Syrago Tsiara, the curator of the Greek pavilion, which will house Stefanos Tsivopoulos's work History Zero. The total budget for the Greek pavilion this year is around €350,000. The state provides €250,000, which mainly covers the production costs for the artist's work, the exhibition and catalogue, with the remainder coming from private backers. "Concerning state funding, there is no change compared to the 54th Venice Biennale. It is exactly the same amount," Tsiara says. TurkeyThe surprise backer of the Turkish pavilion, which this year is located in the Arsenale, is the Italian firm Fiat, which provides 65% of the €450,000 budget (the car company also funded the pavilion in 2011). Meanwhile, Saha, a Turkish version of the London-based patrons association Outset, will contribute around 11% of the production costs for artist Ali Kazma's multi-channel video installation entitled Resistance. The Turkish government will pay the organisers of the Venice Biennale around €100,000 to lease the Arsenale venue, support that demonstrates that the state finally sees the point of investing in culture at an international level. Germany"The Foreign Ministry has been responsible for the pavilion for more than 50 years, and for the 2013 edition it has significantly raised the basic budget to €500,000," a pavilion spokesman says. The Goethe Institute and the Friends of the German pavilion organisation are also funders. The Sparkassen-Kulturfonds (culture fund) of the German Savings Banks Association is the main sponsor. This year, the pavilion, which will swap sites with the French pavilion as part of an exchange scheme, will display works by four international artists: Santu Mofokeng from South Africa, German-born Romuald Karmakar, the New Delhi-born Dayanita Singh and the Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei.

Environmental Issues
Climate Change. The sixth conference of parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was held in November at The Hague. A week of official preparatory talks took place in Bonn, Ger., in June. These centred on accounting methods for assessing greenhouse gases, rules for liability for emissions, and mechanisms for ensuring compliance.
The draft of the third assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (operating under World Meteorological Organization and United Nations auspices), scheduled for final publication in 2001, was released in April. The draft revealed that three of the past five years had been the warmest on instrumental record—which went back 140 years—and that 1,000-year tree-ring data had shown the abrupt 20th-century warming to be unique. The report identified a human-induced warming of 0.6 °C (1.08 °F) over the past century but noted that there had been little progress in projecting the future of greenhouse warming because of the many uncertainties about climate models, cloud behaviour, and the changing use of fossil fuels. The report continued to estimate a warming of 2.5 °C (4.5 °F; range 1.5–4.5 °C [2.7–8.1 °F]) from a doubling of carbon dioxide. It also included estimates of the amount of carbon that might be absorbed by changes in land use. The special scientific report on the effects of land use was approved in May by delegates from more than 100 countries attending a meeting in Montreal.
A report by an 11-member panel of the National Research Council (the research arm of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences complex), published in January, said there was no doubt that temperatures had risen worldwide in the previous 20 years despite the fact that data from satellites and high-altitude balloons had detected little or no warming. The panel found unanimously that although the upper-atmosphere data were reliable, they did not call the ground-based data into question. It found a warming of 0.25–0.4 °C (0.45–0.72 °F) from 1979 to 1999, compared with 0.4–0.8 °C (0.72–1.44 °F) over the past century. The panel said, however, that this did not necessarily mean the warming was caused by greenhouse gases or would continue.
On January 18 the World Bank announced at The Hague the first global market-based project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and at promoting better technologies in less-developed countries. The project was to be funded by the governments of Finland, Sweden, Norway, and The Netherlands, each contributing $10 million, as well as by several companies, each of which would contribute $5 million. The Bank would act as broker and aimed at a price of about $15 per ton of carbon.
Air Pollution. Up to 500 fires raging in March in the forests of Sumatra, one of the main islands constituting Indonesia, produced clouds of smoke that drifted toward Malaysia and threatened to repeat the major pollution that affected much of Southeast Asia in 1997. Hundreds of hectares of national park and plantation forest were burned. Many of the fires were set deliberately to clear land for cultivation.
In March the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued new pollution-control standards covering hydrocarbon emissions from handheld tools such as chain saws and garden trimmers. The standards applied only to newly purchased items with engines of 25 hp or less.
A study by Jonathan Levy and John D. Spengler reported in May that emissions from power stations in Massachusetts could be linked to 43,000 asthma attacks and an estimated 159 premature deaths each year. The companies owning two plants in question agreed to cut emissions, as did four other plants. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide emissions would be cut by 50% by 2003, and carbon dioxide and soot would also be reduced.
Marine Pollution. In March the European Commission, supported by all 15 member states as well as by nonmember Norway, persuaded the Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization to designate the North Sea a low-sulfur-fuel zone. This would require ships in the sea to use fuels containing no more than 1.5% sulfur rather than the 4.5% permitted globally. The Commission said that this should at least halve North Sea sulfur dioxide emissions from the approximately 460,000 metric tons released in 1990. The change would come into effect when at least half the world's fleet had ratified an annex to the Marpol Convention. Panama, with 16.5% of the fleet, and the EU and two applicant countries, Malta and Cyprus, with 20% between them favoured the change, but Liberia and some other countries remained unconvinced.
The annual meeting of the Ospar Convention was held in Copenhagen in June. Great Britain and France were isolated when other nations called for an end to the reprocessing of spent nuclear reactor fuel, although a few days before the meeting began, British Environment Minister Michael Meacher outlined plans to reduce radioactive discharges by 85% by 2020. The meeting ended on June 30, having made significant progress toward implementing a 1998 agreement to reduce pollution dramatically over a 20-year period.
In December 1999 a Maltese-registered tanker carrying fuel oil from Rotterdam, Neth., to Leghorn, Italy, broke in two in severe storms 69 km (43 mi) off the coast of Brittany, France, spilling 11.4 million litres (1 litre = 0.26 gal) of heavy fuel oil (10,000 of the 30,000 tons it was carrying). The oil soiled more than 400 km (250 mi) of the coast and polluted oyster beds. Both halves of the 24-year-old vessel sank, with about 20,000 tons of oil still on board. A preliminary report said the ship's structure might have been faulty and criticized the owners and an Italian company responsible for safety checks on the ship. In its official report, a French government committee joined with the European Commission in calling for stricter safety standards, saying ships carrying "black" products (fuel oil, tar, and crude oil) should be subject to the same safety requirements as those carrying "white" products (naphtha, kerosene, and gasoline). The operation to pump oil from the two halves of the tanker was completed on July 30, and the cleanup, paid for by TotalFina, was completed by the end of September.
Freshwater Pollution. On January 30 a tailings-containment dam failed at the Aurul gold tailings retreatment mine near Baia Mare, Rom. The mine tailings contained an estimated 480,000 oz of gold and 2,200,000 oz of silver. Esmeralda Exploration Ltd., an Australian company based in Perth, owned 50% of the mine and operated it, and the Romanian state-owned company Remin owned the other 50%. Esmeralda Exploration placed itself in voluntary liquidation in order to fend off legal actions. About 100,000 cu m (3,530,000 cu ft) of water contaminated with high concentrations of cyanide as well as large quantities of heavy metals were released into the Lapus River. Cyanide is used in separating gold from the surrounding rock. The contamination fed into the Somes (becoming the Szamos when it crossed into Hungary) and Tisza rivers and from there into the Danube River east of Novi Sad, Yugos., and thereby affected Hungary and Serbia before returning to Romania. It reached the Serbian border on February 10, and by February 16 the cyanide concentration in the Danube in Romania was four times higher than permitted EU levels and almost 20 times higher than the levels permitted in Romania. More cyanide escaped some days later, carried by melting snow, and polluted seven wells in the village of Bozanta Mare, near the mine. As the cyanide moved downstream, city authorities shut down water pumps. The cities of Turnu Magurele and Zimnicea had to rely on wells.
On March 7, after no dead fish had been found over a period of 24 hours, the Hungarian authorities lifted a water-quality alert on the Tisza River. Life was returning to the Tisza by June as fishermen dumped tiny fish into the water. All the species originally present were being introduced, and it was expected that they would survive. (See Wildlife Conservation, below.)
At about midnight on January 18, a pipeline began leaking oil from the Reduc oil refinery in Brazil, a property of the government-owned company Petrobrás. The oil flowed into Guanabara Bay, contaminating about 14,000 ha (35,000 ac) of mangrove swamps and causing damage to birds, shellfish, and fish. In all, 1.3 million litres were spilled. State environmental officials said that the Petrobrás pipelines were old and poorly maintained.
On August 15 three chemical company executives and 19 employees were charged in Taipei, Taiwan, with dumping dimethyl benzene solvent into the Kao-p'ing River, the principal source of drinking water in southern Taiwan. The water supply had been shut down after three men were caught dumping the solvent into the river from a tanker holding more than 100 tons. The Shengli Chemical Co., under contract to the Eternal Chemical Co., was alleged to have dumped 13,500 tons of waste solvent into the river since 1987.
Genetically Modified Foods. On January 29 representatives from about 130 countries agreed in Montreal on the text of rules governing trade in genetically modified organisms. The agreement would become the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (after the city in Colombia where an earlier set of negotiations had ended inconclusively) to the 1992 UN Convention on Biological Diversity and would come into force when 50 parties had ratified it. Representatives of more than 60 countries signed the protocol on May 24, at the end of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in Nairobi, Kenya.

May 19, 2013 | Top notch subwoofer |
Review by
George from Marmora, NJ
I have owned 3 of these speakers and none of them ever let me down. In the previous car I owned I had two 12" subs with a 1000 watt kenwood amp and it sounded great. The subs were used when I bought them and were about 1-2 years old but still sounded like new. I used them for about a year blasting music everyday and they still sounded new when I sold them along with the car. When I bought my new car I wanted some bass again so I went with another one of theses speakers. My current set up is one of these speakers and a 800 watt max amp and it sounds great in my hatchback. The speaker is super durable and sounds amazing. Nice clean loud hits with any type of music. I highly recommend this speaker over many other brands.

Moss has a famously erratic motor. Kareem Brown got dinged badly for not trying consistently. But then -- Ty Warren came out of college with a bit of a rep for taking plays off, IIRC. And in his case this has turned out to be a complete non-issue in New England. I get the impression the team is simply willing to take calculated risks on guys with that knock, for the right price.
I think it's a combination of value (when does the talent have enough value to take a chance on the questionable motor) and also sifting through what's real and what's not. With Brown, I'm sure they talked to lots of people including Wilfork who Brown has said he talks with whenever Vince is in Miami. I don't think Moss is a big deal, his true dogging comes when his team sucks which won't happen here. His "taking plays off" is just part of who he is but most WR do that sometimes, they just don't have cameras on them every play. Not excusing it, though.

ABC News' Ann Compton reports: As President Obama prepared for a four state campaign swing to support endangered Democratic candidates for Congress, he sharpened his opposition to the Republican "Pledge to America" platform and his differences with GOP leaders. "What I am seeing out of the Republican leadership over last several years has been a set of policies are [sic] just irresponsible," the President said in a live interview on NBC's Today Show. "They propose $4 trillion worth of tax cuts and 16 billion in spending cuts, and then say we are going to somehow magically balance the budget. That is not a serious approach." The President was careful not to criticize Republican voters, however, calling them "a lot of wonderful people out there who consider themselves Republicans or independents who have maybe some criticisms of my administration but who basically recognize we've got to solve some big problems, we've got be serious, we've got to base our decisions on facts. " Most of the televised interview focused on education. President Obama conceeded he believes his elementary school daughters are receiving a better education in an elite private school rather than the public schools of Washington, D.C., which the President described as "struggling."

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com U.S. sweeps in slopestyle skiing
Friday, February 14, 2014
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — A newly minted American medalist was sharing his thoughts - something about making history - when a certain song ringing out from fans in the stands stopped him midstream.
Taken separately, any of these history-making young men would have woven their own wonderful story on the day of their resplendent, high-flying Olympic debuts. On this day, they came as a package deal.
"Wow, really?" Goepper said when he learned about his place in history. "It's crazy. I think it's going to give the U.S. a lot more confidence and it's going to get a lot of people really excited."
The day and the course were tailor-made for triple corks - filled with sunshine that made for forgiving, slushy snow on the steeply angled jumps. It was so warm that the other American in the field, Bobby Brown, skied in short sleeves.
None of the 11 other skiers could top him in their second runs. When Norway's Andreas Haatveit went second-to-last and scored a 91.8, the Americans had the sweep.
A few were still belting out the national anthem. |

When everything is too hot to handle in your real life, why not relax and revive with a good book? David Sedaris book, When You are Engulfed in Flames is a quietly funny and very adult book. Involuntary Tics with ADD Involuntary tics, also just known as tics, occur with a number of conditions, including Attention Deficit Disorder. Tics are repetitive in nature. Who gets tics and how are they caused? When do people have tics? What types of tics are there? People have these and many more questions about tics. A Marriage and a Spouse with ADD Marriage to a spouse who has Attention Deficit Disorder is complicated by the unique way that people with ADD process events. This is offset by the energy that a partner with ADD/ADHD brings to a marriage. Learning to communicate clearly with your spouse is the key to a true partnership. Lead and ADD Development Biological research has shown that most Attention Deficit Disorder may have its roots in heredity. What happens when ADD/ADHD cant be attributed to genetics? Could its cause be environmental? Recent research suggests that lead could play a part in developing ADD.
The Hidden Curriculum and ADD Social rules are often unstated. People learn them by observation as small children. What happens if you dont learn them? People who dont learn these rules have all areas of their lives impacted by negative interactions with others. Learn what the hidden curriculum is and how it can be taught. New Years Goal Plans and ADD Do you make New Year's resolutions only to find them falling apart in less than a week? A resolution without a plan is just a dream that's doomed to fail. Learn to make effective plans that work for you and help you achieve your goals. Sidetracked Home Executives Often a house thats a screaming mess stands in the way of peace, harmony, and freedom. With Attention Deficit Disorder, sometimes it is hard to implement a housecleaning plan. If you have reached the end of your housecleaning rope, read Sidetracked Home Executives and calm your household chaos. White Noise for Sleep and ADD People with ADD often have sleep problems. When you wake in the morning do you feel rested or tired and frustrated? Is it difficult to get to sleep and stay asleep because of noise? Maybe a white noise generator could help you. This is a review of the white noise machine that saved my sanity!
Music and ADD Increased concentration and a better mood can come from the release of dopamine as a person listens to music. Both are powerful reasons to make music a part of your life. More motivation to clean house, exercise, learn math and get to sleep shows that music can help relieve the symptoms of ADD.

Family violence on the rise in Rusk County
POSTED: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - 4:47pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - 4:59pm
Rusk County, Texas (KETK) — Rusk County is seeing an increase in family violence cases. Judge Joe Sorrells says he's seen four family violence cases in his courtroom already this week, a much higher number than usual. Hot temperatures in the summer can escalate stress between family members and a lot of parents feel stressed out about finances as their kids get ready to head back to school. Judge Sorrells says financial stress is a big factor in family violence. He also says he's never seen a family violence case that didn't involve alcohol and or drugs--prescription or illegal.
Judge Sorrells attributes the recent rise in family violence cases to the ever growing popularity of synthetic marijuana.
"It's turning out to be the most harmful mind-altering affect..drug that we've experienced..the problem with law enforcement not being able to control it..it's so easy to get..that's driving our family violence up..it's a mind altering drug."
If you are the victim of abuse, call police immediately.
