Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett on Monday put to rest any doubts about their commitment to mayoral control of Milwaukee Public Schools, announcing for the first time publicly that the move is necessary to tackle the state's racial achievement gap and to compete for an unprecedented amount of federal school funding.
Since Aug. 13, when Doyle told the Journal Sentinel that he wanted Milwaukee's mayor to choose the next superintendent and appoint members of the School Board, Michael Bonds, the School Board president, and others have rallied opposition to the idea.
But Doyle, Barrett and Milwaukee Common Council President Willie Hines stood firm Monday on the need for a takeover, with Barrett saying the move is about helping failing kids, not political power.
"The easiest thing would be to walk away from this problem," said Barrett, adding that his children have received a fine education in Milwaukee's German Immersion School. "I could walk away and say, 'Too big a fight.' "
The two biggest issues at stake, Doyle said, include selecting a new superintendent for Milwaukee Public Schools, which should be chosen by and answer to the mayor to create a "clear line of accountability," and submitting a competitive state application for a piece of the $4.35 billion in Race to the Top federal school stimulus funding before the end of this year.
"We have to conclude that the current structure isn't getting us where we need to go," Doyle said. "We have a real opportunity to take a major step forward for Milwaukee Public Schools."
In recent weeks, independent research from the New Teacher Project has put Wisconsin at the bottom of all 50 states when it comes to having the necessary reform models in place to be eligible for Race to the Top- a point Bonds has emphasized in arguing that a takeover would not raise the state's chances of receiving federal money.
Doyle said Monday that he did not believe that Wisconsin was so far out of the running for Race to the Top that it couldn't put in a good application.
"We need reforms that we can stick with day after day and determine whether they work," Doyle said. "We have to convince the Department of Education that we can do it."
Doyle said that the district needs "10 to 15" reform measures it can focus on over time that build on the strengths of teachers and administrators in their individual school buildings.
Voters' rights
Doyle and Barrett also addressed another argument from opponents of mayoral control: voters' rights. Critics have argued that the dissolution of a citizen-elected School Board under the plan for mayoral control would take away the public's right to elect school leaders.
Doyle said that was not true.
"The public will have their say much more forcefully in those (mayoral) elections than in those for School Board," Doyle said.
Also, he added, a model of mayoral control means that schools would be at the top of the political agenda in any mayoral election.
Barrett and Doyle said they intend to change the governance quickly enough to be able to submit an application for Race to the Top funding before the end of the year, but they were less clear on the specifics of how that process would unfold.
Barrett said he wasn't sure exactly what a new, appointed School Board would look like. He said that they were still investigating models and that he was in favor of whatever model worked.
Doyle, who is expected to introduce an education reform package in a few weeks when the Legislature resumes its fall session, did not offer any details about how the mayoral control proposal would reach state lawmakers. A change in state law is necessary to transfer power over MPS from the School Board to a different entity.
During the news conference Monday, held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Continuing Education, a line of community leaders stood behind Barrett, Doyle and Hines in what appeared to be a silent show of support.
But Bonds, who watched from the audience, was unmoved.
Afterward, he said he could not lend his support to any version of a plan for mayoral control.
"These are the same people that stood on the sidelines for years as the district declined," Bonds said.

RIM Bear Misek has change of heart
Mr. Misek has had a dramatic change of heart re RIM, upgrading the stock to a "hold" and a 12 mo target of $43 (!)
Sounds good to me!

Okay so let me get this straight! He gave it only 20-30% chance of success (<50%), yet raised both his target and his rating on the stock? LOL
Did I miss something? Maybe that's his way of admitting he was wrong about RIM without saying he was wrong! Would anyone in their right mind raise a stock outlook on only 20% ?? This guy is taking advice from Cramer me thinks! - 11-20-12, 01:53 PM #10
Personally and it depends on a whole lot but I'm saying $40 and approaching $60 in a year. Now I'm not a paid analyst but when you consider that RIM still has no debt and has secured the handling of NFC transaction endpoints for all carriers in Canada for all devices this brings in CASH!. This could happen in other countries as too as RIM is already in multiple countries. Not to mention how many of the 80 Million subscribers might want to upgrade? 10%-20%? That could be 15Million upgrades. I also think RIM has got there ducks in a row as far as advertising and there is apparently lots of carrier support for BB10.
I think people see BB10 and like it but could take a year to take off as peoples contracts expire. This is where the risk is. Adoption rates. But the good thing is that if everything is at least "good" BB will head into Christmas season with multiple BB10 products and they will likely have an upgrade to BB10 too.
I think people have seen that the Apple innovation machine is starting to spin its tires - it really is RIMs game to lose AFAIK. - 11-20-12, 03:29 PM Thread Author #11

Mrs. Pumpkin's Comical Dream English Lyrics
Jacaranda flowered
At a party where we both drank
Where shall we go now?
A sad song I happily sang
Jack gave a sly grin
"Put off those heretical thoughts"
Chocolates I need them
Humbly, I sang a song
Scarecrow fell as he come
Chokingly he swung by
Though he hasn't had some
He hates pumpkin pie
Shall we dance together?
Mister moon is still slumbering tonight (Did you call me? said a turnip head.)
See? The coffin I was in now no longer is here!
Our world has no sunlight! (La balula la happy day!)
We sense fabricated
Magic at a transmission spire
Beneath the bridge a witch had
Appeared to be quite wired
Jack said so smugly
"Continue with these vulgar thoughts"
The devil's horn bloomed largely
As if it were distraught
The goat is plotting something mischievous ("Come now accept it, come now accept it")
"Come now accept it, come now accept it"
While waiting for the train ("Come now accept it, come now accept it")
Why don't we hold hands?
For only two are allowed
The ride takes us through the subway land (Passive power a pile of corpses?)
To the market of ants that number in crowds
Mister moon is still slumbering tonight
Ah! Mrs. Pumpkin
I've come to pick you up!
When did this night
Destroy the dream that you thought of?
Still I want again
To keep this dancing alive!
Let my distracted dreams be retained (Passive Passive full of idiots.)
With pleasure spewing out
The lantern blaze did rise
La balula la happy day!
Shall we dance together?
No chance of getting an answer ("Pity! A shame!" said the turnip head.)
See? The coffin I was in now no longer exists!
What a dull world we're in!
I felt disheartened in this muck
I waited for morning in the bushes
Within the train.
Ah Mrs. Pumpkin...
Ah Mrs. Pumpkin...

I bought the Living Accents Sterling Collection table and chairs and one of the Market umbrellas so this seemed like the perfect umbrella base to go with those items. The design matches really well, and it functions well, too. It is sturdy and pretty heavy, which is good support for our tall umbrella. The base works really well and looks great!

Comments about DC AMERICA Round Cast Stone Umbrella Base 18in in Bronze:
I searched for a base for a very large and heavy canvas umbrella, concerned about what could hold it up. This base has a long neck to secure the heavy wooden pole at a fraction of other bases I was considering. It is very attractive as well. What a great find. And free delivery to my local Ace store. Nice.

Comments about DC AMERICA Round Cast Stone Umbrella Base 18in in Bronze:
This stand is not made of cast iron as described above; rather it is a composite that will not rust. This is perfect for a concrete patio as it will not leave rust stains on the concrete. Very nice looking and of sturdy construction. Reasonably priced.

Just wanted to share my first photos That I took with my Lynx 14 =) I think I love this camera
Nice choice and a wonderful way of viewing.
cliveheritagetilley.co.uk The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention Francis Bacon
Do not know anything about that camera, hope you enjoy using it. But, you have a very special flickr account. Wonderful photos.
Dang, I always wanted one of those.
- Derek [ Insert meaningless camera listing here ]
The Yashica Lynx is one sweet camera. The Lynx 1000 and Lynx 5000 are great too.
Wow, you have some fantastic portraits in that Flickr stream. Well done sir, well done.
K.S. Klain
you may have a good camera, but you have a better eye....nice stuff.
I have the 5000e and love it. Got rid of all my other Yashicas, my only other rangefinder is the Argus C-3.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. ― Dwight D. Eisenhower
Wow, you seem like me (like fast glass), we both have the Mamiya with the 80 f1.9 and now the Lynx 14?! I keep my Lynx 14 with 400 @800 and shoot it in door, avail light, the Mamiya 1.9 with the 50 (PanF) outside a lot. Well if you want to really be like me, add an XA to the kit....those three are the trifecta... As I said when you showed your Mamiya set, you've a heck of an eye. Stay safe
Yes, the Lynxes are nice cameras, especially with that big chunck of glass on the front. Agree that they are excellent portraits, great work.

November 13, 2013 // 9:30am — 10:30am
Expectations for China's Third Plenum meeting are high. The meeting of top leaders is expected to set the direction for domestic policy for the next decade. The risks China faces in deepening its social and economic reforms may be higher still. Growth rates are slowing and public dissatisfaction with pollution, inequality, corruption, and food safety is rising.

Taking China Seriously: Replacing the Pivot With a Policy That Works
November 01, 2013 // 9:00am — 10:30am
Like other Asia-Pacific nations, Australia is hopeful that the regional interests of its treaty ally, the United States, and its most important trading partner, China, can be balanced to its own long-term advantage. Professor of Strategic Studies at Australian National University Hugh White has been a leading advocate for the view that Australia cannot hope to maintain a neutral distance between the U.S. and China; it will have to choose between them. His analysis, if correct, holds major implications not only for Australia, China, and the U.S., but for every Asia-Pacific nation.

What are China's objectives and overall strategy in the East China Sea? To what extent will Chinese actions contribute to escalation and what are the prospects of conflict breaking out in the region?

More of a gym with a wall flagged I. The side, it's out dated and dusty, expensive for what it is and offers little interest to a climber un less they desperately need to train and a door frame just won't do,

Some of you I might have blabbed this to already... but most people won't know a damned thing..
Nichelle is coming to visit meeeee!! *cue excited-in-seat-flaily-dance*
yeesss the wonderful splendiferous charligal-stock is coming to the UK!! WHICH IS AWESOME!! and if we can stop pratting around for some time we should have memorycards teeeeeeming with stock for you guys. We have some fucking awesome shoots planned.
I have to dust off my sewing machine and get cracking. but it will be AMAZING. Seriously you guys will love the main one we have planned. But are we telling you what we have planned? NOOOO
I will say a couple of things: wet, trampoline, frzzzmmmm!!
And also... FNAAAAAAAAAARGHSTFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I managed to wrangle free accomodation for London aswell. which soooo helps because London is a stupid place full of stupid people with too much money XD which I don't have!
Apart from the couple of Deviants who I know who live there... but it's still to expensive. and I always seem to find the snobbish tosser who takes offence to my northern accent. I'm very good at finding wankers and crazy people apparently Nichelle is too. so we might have some amusing stories of the British wildlife to tell you and by wildlife i mean the crazies and the drunks XD
In other news....
... I have a mysterious real life valentine... 0-o must have dropped by the house at night or something... cause the roses and chocolates weren't there when I got home from work last night.. 0-o and it's definately not Tim... and I'm making a habit of staring suspicously at the two bunches of roses.. 0-o There was no address neither so it's definately someone who knows where I live.. paranooooiaaa
I did get a couple of those cards via DeviantArt aswell.. and I'm terrible at saying thanks for that kind. I was torn between my usual manners and clambering up on my high horse screaming at the top of my lungs and refusing to come down. (I really don't like commercial-bullshit-and-obligation-day.)
I also bought a chess set in Portugal. since my old one has had three black pawns, a black rook and a black knight missing for yeeears (i used to love playing chess. I was a geek-child and i used to be in the school's chess club LOVE ME!) but i was gutted. cause i watched the shopguy count out the fucking pieces to make sure none were missing.. and when I tried to set it up to have a play, what do i find? I'm missing a fucking black pawn -__- it's made out of a dark wood, so I'm going to ransack my Grandad's odl shed before we sell the house and find some dark wood and make my own damned piece. it's a good job that my Grandad was such a hoarder.
I am also working on my art trades i am excited still! I know what I'm drawing. there was an odd number so I ended up with two.
I know some of you want to add your usernames in cause you've been asking Erin.. you know what? I think I get too many crazy messages on here to want to do that XD i mean i recently had to report someone who is now banned from the community. and when I go to the trouble of doing that they went waaay over the line. this guy was so far from the line i dont think he'd even heard of it.
I'm looking forward to getting these two finished and posted. XD I'll try not to do my usual mean trick which involves a hell of alot of sellotape XD
I've been through my holiday pics.. some of them should be alright as stock. so i'll upload those at some point soon
www.facebook.com/media/set/?se… for the nosy who wanted to see the snapshots.
Rambling is fun. But I shall shut up now XD Even though I'm sure I missed something important...

This Valentine's Day comes but once every 20 years
(Read article summary)Valentine's Day may fall on Feb. 14, but earlier this month, indie music fans had a different kind of Valentine's Day to celebrate – My Bloody Valentine, legends of the alternative scene, released their first album in over 20 years.
The last time alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine released an album, Michael Jordan was on his way towards leading the Chicago Bulls to the second of six NBA titles. A Bush occupied the Oval Office – George H.W. Bush – and gas cost just a little over a dollar per gallon.
Such a hiatus explains the joy My Bloody Valentine devotees felt when the band announced they were at work on a follow up to 1991's "Loveless." It is why, on Valentine's Day 2013, indie music fans have an entirely different kind of Valentine to cherish and love.
The band's unforgettable 1991 album pioneered a hypnotic musical style called "shoegaze" for the doubled-over pose its practitioners assume when playing their instruments. "Loveless" evoked a "wall of sound," burying whispered lyrics under layers of heavy, rambunctious guitars.
In "Loveless," distortion is not merely an effect applied with the click of a pedal. It is instead the center and the circumference of the album's sonic landscape. Guitars are tools used to forge a sound so large it might as well occupy physical space, a tone dense enough to send forth some semblance of gravitational pull. When it was released in 1991, the album embodied a logical conclusion of rock and roll music.
Twenty-two years have passed. Michael Jordan is now nearly half a century old. Still, the sheer sonic force of "Loveless" remains unmatched.

Lets do the same for Miss Rockgazer! Its the least I can do after you all made me feel better after finding out I wasn't going up north for my 20th.
Enough of my sob story, LETS THROW A PARTY FOR MISS ROCKGAZER. And since she is online goin with a rock star, that is going to be the theme of this party so let me decorate.
In the words of Fozzy's Chris Jericho, "WE ARE HUGE ROCKSTARS!"
And don't think I forgot the cake:
Have a good one pall!

Facebook Posts and Tweets That Can Get You Fired
5. Saying the workplace is spooky. An employee of a mental health facility was not protected when posting comments that included these: "Spooky is overnight, third floor, alone in a mental institution, btw Im not a client, not yet anyway," and, "My dear client ms 1 is cracking up at my post, I don't know if shes laughing at me, with me or at her voices, not that it matters, good to laugh." Unfortunately, her co-workers weren't her Facebook friends, so the NLRB said the exchange wasn't considered concerted activity. She also wasn't advocating any change, but was just reporting what was happening at the time. No protection.
6. Criticizing the company on an elected official's Facebook page. An employee was fired after she posted comments on Sen. Richard Lugar's Facebook page that were clearly about working conditions. They included: "The reason they contract out to us? BECAUSE WE'RE THE CHEAPEST SERVICE IN TOWN! How do we manage that? BY PAYING OUR EMPLOYEES $2 LESS THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE! We both make less than $10an hr. And he's worked for them 3.5 yrs! ...the fact that we're employees of a cheap contract company instead of government employees hurts us." She was complaining about her husband's and her working conditions, but the NLRB said it still wasn't concerted activity because she didn't discuss it with co-workers, or even her husband.
I know what you're thinking. What about the First Amendment? Sorry, but it doesn't help these folks. The First Amendment only applies to government action, not a company's actions. It doesn't provide you any free speech protection at work unless you work for government.
Applying the law, this recent case of a waitress fired for posting, "Stupid Cops better hope I'm not their server FDP." (FDP means F*** Da Police). Granted, she had reason to be irked, since a police officer had issued a $2,500 ticket to her 3-year-old for public urination when he pulled down his pants in his own front yard. Still, this is one of those posts that probably isn't protected.
On the other hand, an employee who complained about sexual harassment on Twitter and posted photos of the harassers, and who was fired because of the fact that she publicly shamed them, probably has a remedy with the NLRB, assuming that she isn't a supervisor (and possibly with the EEOC, even if she is a supervisor). It will be interesting to see what happens if she takes some legal action.

About this location
The Tuscany region
In Short: on the banks of the River Arno, central and very lively.
Highlights: Piazza Di Santa Maria Novella, Fortezza Da Basso, Parco Delle Cascine, Cappelle Dei Medici.
Getting around: electric bus line C2 to Santa Maria Novella station and the centre, shuttle Volainbus from Autostation SITA to the airport.
Why stay: active night life, many places of interest, good tranport links with the airport and city centre.
Description: The area of Santa Maria Novella is located in the north-east of the historical city of Florence and after the centre is one of the most important parts of the city as the home of the major train station that receives the majority of Italian and foreign rail traffic in and out of the city. Its central location allows travelers to visit the main monuments close at hand without having to take buses or taxis on arrival. The Santa Maria Novella square is at the very heart of the district, surrounded by historical buildings, gardens, obelisks and fountains. From the Middle Ages onwards it was often used to host parties and public events. The square is home to the beautiful Basilica de Santa Maria Novella that was built in the XIV century and is one of the most important expressions of Florentine Renaissance. In the interior visitors can appreciate some of the most noteworthy works of art of the first Renaissance period such as the magnificent Trinidad del Masaccio. The area is also home to the Teatro Comunale, the Congress Palace and the Fortaleza da Basso; the largest fortress existing within the city walls, and currently used to host handicraft fairs or the Pitti immagine fashion exhibition that attracts professionals from all over Europe. It is a particularly lively part of Florence and the meeting place for many young people in summer with a number of bars and discos. A little further away from the station is the area of San Lorenzo that stretches around its Basilica that was consecrated in the year 393. San Lorenzo is also an interesting cultural and leisure destination, including the famous chapels Capillas dei Medici and the Biblioteca Laurenziana with its beautiful cloister, as well as a busy market held in the same area. For those looking to get away from the bustle and after a little relaxation a visit to the Parco delle Cascine is highly recommended, one of the largest public parks in Florence. There is also the possibility to have a quick dip under the stars, perfectly possible at the Pavoniere swimming pool located in the park, where it is also possible to enjoy a drink and aperitif.

Sleeping Patterns

posted Jan 10 2013 3:33PM
Funny how you get used to things you never thought you could. As Everett hammers down the road of teething and gets those darn molars, his nights have been anything but smooth. I calculate that I get between three and four hours of sleep and that's most definitely not all at the same time. This morning he was up at about 3:45...ready to hit the ground running. 'I don't care if I have a fever and haven't slept much mom, it's time for me to grab Belle Piper (his Cabbage Patch Kid) and head downstairs to ride my motorcycle.' Well okay then. So then there's the ongoing debate in my brain of how much coffee I can drink to be halfway human during the day without in turn giving him caffeine causing him to be up at night. I have no clue what I'll do when I finally get an 8-hour night of sleep...but I'm very much looking forward to it.

J U N E 1 9 9 7 NOT MY LEGby David Rothman | |||||||||||||
Hear David Rothman read this poem (in RealAudio): (For help, see a note about the audio.)
Not my leg Not my leg, My lean, strong leg. Choose any other part, But please don't start With my lovely leg. I'd look bad with a peg.
Not my hand,
Not my eyes,
Not the urethra, not the anus,
Not my body, my only body.

LONDON (Reuters) - Addressing Nokia Oyj (NOK1V.HE) employees in January 2011, Chief Executive Stephen Elop - at that point only four months into the job - dramatised the company's predicament by comparing it to standing on a burning platform.
Nearly a year and a half on, and with Nokia's Lumia mobile phone range failing so far to revive sales, its position still looks frail. Its shares have lost 90 percent in five years and its debt is rated junk by two of the three major ratings agencies.
Might Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), Elop's former employer and whose software Lumia is based on, have to step in to help Nokia out, seeing the Finnish company as a valuable point of entry into the cellphone market?
Analysts have attributed Nokia's decline in large part to its late response to Apple Inc (AAPL.O), whose iPhone redefined the smartphone market in 2007, and some see a marriage with Microsoft as possibly a last chance to turn the group around.
For Microsoft the relationship is important, because Nokia was its first major break into the smartphone market after a decade of heavy investment. During that period other cellphone makers either chose to use their own software - as did Apple - or favoured Google Inc's (GOOG.O) Android.
"If Nokia ends up in financial difficulties I believe the helping hand would be there," said Sami Sarkamies, an analyst at Nordea.
Nokia and Microsoft declined to comment.
Microsoft is already paying Nokia $1 billion a year to use its software on Lumia smartphones. And investment bankers familiar with the technology sector said the support could extend well beyond that amount, if Nokia's problems intensify.
"I don't see Microsoft owning Nokia, but it would definitely provide financing to the tune of a couple of billion dollars," said one veteran technology banker.
Any Microsoft support for Nokia would be more likely to take the form of an inter-company loan, or an equity stake, rather than a full takeover, a second banker said.
Even though Microsoft has nearly $60 billion of cash on its balance sheet, the company has traditionally steered clear of the hardware business, because it does not want to compete with the manufacturers that use its software.
Yet other priorities may override that consideration.
At the same time, some bankers said they thought Nokia, which has a market value of 9.3 billion euros, was an unlikely target for other cellphone manufacturers because of its deep integration with Microsoft.
"I don't see it as a target for private equity either. It is still too expensive and too volatile," said a third banker. "You would have to be prepared to catch a falling knife."
With a full takeover of Nokia seeming unlikely, some bankers and analysts were equally sceptical about asset spin offs as a way for the company to raise some much-needed liquidity.
Nokia is in talks to sell its British luxury subsidiary Vertu, which makes some of the world's most expensive mobile phones, a source familiar with the company's strategy told Reuters previously.
Yet Vertu is expected to generate only a few hundred million euros if it is sold to private equity firm Permira. And bankers said Goldman Sachs' mandate to sell the business did not extend to any other Nokia assets.
"Banks are pitching ideas to them like they always do, but I'm not aware of any other mandates to sell Nokia businesses or any wider mandate to advise the company on options," the first source said.
Nokia's other assets that could be of interest to potential buyers include its intellectual property portfolio, which a fourth banker described as "the best in the industry".
Yet Elop told the company's shareholders' meeting on May 3 he was not planning any wider patent sales. He also said he saw the location and mapping business, built on the $8.1 billion acquisition of U.S. firm Navteq, as a core asset the firm would aim to keep, despite some expectations it could be sold.
The fourth banker said Microsoft was likely to urge Nokia not to put its patents on the block in any case, because it would not want them to fall into the hands of Google.
The only other asset of any size that Nokia could potentially sell would be its half of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN).
Yet its parent companies Nokia and Siemens (SIEGn.DE) tried to sell NSN last year to private equity, a process that collapsed over price, and there seems no obvious reason why they would be more successful now.
For Elop, there remain painful decisions to secure his legacy as head of what once ranked as one of Europe's biggest technology success stories.
"Elop was not hired as a boss for a burning platform," said John Strand, founder and CEO of Danish consultancy Strand Consult. "He put the platform on fire."

Patrick Dethlefs plays at Swallow Hill, Friday, June 8
While it's true that nearly every corner of folk-inspired music has been explored ad infinitum, Patrick Dethlefs (due at Swallow Hill on Friday, June 8) doesn't sound like he's trying to be Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Richard Thompson or Nick Drake.Maybe he worked his way through those influences early on, learned what he could and forged ahead to craft music through which he speaks as himself. Still in his early twenties, Dethlefs sings with the authority and emotional richness of someone a decade older. His EP with the Eye and the Arrow earlier this year was brimming with promise, and his new album, Fall & Rise, with its luminous melodies, emotional intimacy and hushed grace, is the kind of debut upon which careers are launched. (Stop by Backbeatblog.com for a full Q&A with Dethlefs.)

Coemar Infinity Wash XLs Accelerate The Action As R.E.M Tour Lights Canada, U.S. And Europe Through The Roof
For the R.E.M. tour launched this past May in Vancouver, lighting designer/director/programmer Susanne Sasic brought Coemar Infinity Wash XL lights into brilliant interplay as support of the bandâs latest album, Accelerate, continues.
Designing a frame of lights around a set of five Mitrix video screens plus two soft LED panels, Sasic set out to create a âskylineâ? of video which forms the centerpiece of her basic design. Infinity Wash XL lights, 1400w with a full range of features including a CMY color mixing system and an entire spectrum of effects, seemed perfectly targeted toward this latest succession of concerts presented by the Athens, GA-based legendary alternative rock ensemble.
âWe have big, bold strokes of color framing the video,â? explains Sasic. âFive Infinitys are on side trusses and two are on the floor, with more fixtures to be added for the European leg which takes us through most of the fall, after which come more U.S. dates.â?
Sasic, who is relying on a grandMA for programming, is truly impressed with the Infinitysâ dynamic performance. âTheyâre very bright, the color mixing is great,â? she insists, âand there is even more than one shade of green. Being able to get true shades of red and green is something I havenât been able to find in other moving lights.â?
Boasting a 6-80 degree zoom, pan/tilt, full-range dimming and index-able beam shaping in 360 degrees, Coemar Infinity Wash XL lights are proving themselves indispensable for the tour from Sasicâs perspective. âI absolutely love them!â? she attests.

Scientists Find How Rogue Cells 'Eat Our Eyes'
Vision scientists have identified a key player in macular degeneration (MD), raising hope for a treatment for the currently incurable blinding disease.
The studies reveal how light-damaged eyes invoke an out-of-control immune response, resulting in white blood cells invading the retina and leaving behind proteins that kill the light sensitive vision cells.
This type of immune attack is seen in macular degeneration, which accounts for half of the vision loss cases in Australia, costing the nation $2.6 billion a year. The research team from The Vision Centre and The Australian National University says that their results show how this process of immune attack occurs, and how it can be controlled.
"When the cells in our eyes are damaged, the immune response kicks in and sends macrophages "" white blood cells that "Ëœeat' invading or dead cells "" to clean up the mess," say the researchers. "If the immune system is not properly regulated, the invading cells linger and call in even more macrophages "" literally, "Ëœbig eaters'.
"Our study shows that the macrophages deposit a complex of proteins on retinal cells, which then kills them. The macrophages clean up the remains, and if the immune system doesn't control the process, the light-sensitive cells die and get eaten away by the macrophages."
In macular degeneration macrophages attack vision cells in the fovea "" a "Ëœpit' at the back of the eye, which is the critical region for detailed vision, enabling us to do things like read, recognise faces and see small detail.
The researchers say that previous research, mostly done in Australia, showed that these "Ëœrogue' macrophages are involved in macular degeneration, but it wasn't clear what was driving them or how they contributed to degeneration.
By studying light-damaged eyes in rats, the Vision Centre team found that when the retina is damaged by bright light, it increases its production of a molecule known as Ccl2, which attracts macrophages into the eye. The team has shown that peak levels of Ccl2 coincide with the highest death rates of vision cells.
The macrophages then bring in another molecule, known as C3. This causes the formation of a complex of molecules called a "Ëœmembrane attack complex', which coats the light-sensitive cells, causing them to die. The macrophages then eat up the remains.
"We knew that the membrane attack complex is present in macular degeneration, but we didn't know how it got there. Now we know that it is started by macrophages that are attracted by Ccl2," says Professor Jan Provis, who heads the team.
"It was discovered in 2005 that many sufferers of macular degeneration have a defect in a factor that breaks down C3, but that research did not show how the C3 gets into the retina. Our study shows that it is brought in by the macrophages, attracted by Ccl2."
Identifying Ccl2 leads to a potential path for treating the dry form of macular degeneration: "Pinning down Ccl2 gives us a target "" we can start looking for ways to block Ccl2, and so prevent the attraction of macrophages into the retina and the accumulation of C3."
The team is currently exploring whether shining a soft infra-red light on light-damaged eyes can inhibit Ccl2 growth. If this works, it will lead to a cheap and non-intrusive way of slowing down macular degeneration. The early results are promising, they say.
The research team has published two journal articles that are related to the topic in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. The published papers are:
"Early focal expression of the chemokine Ccl2 by Mller cells during exposure to damage-inducing bright continuous light" by Matt Rutar, Riccardo Natoli, Krisztina Valter and Jan M. Provis, available at http://bit.ly/in4XIr
"Analysis of complement expression in light-induced retinal degeneration: Synthesis and deposition of C3 by microglia/macrophages is associated with focal photoreceptor degeneration" by Matt Rutar, Riccardo Natoli, Peter Kozulin, Krisztina Valter, Paul Gatenby and Jan M. Provis, available at http://bit.ly/lxuVgs
The team presented their findings at The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) conference in May 2011.
The Vision Centre is funded by the Australian Research Council as the ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision Science.

Hey! I've been an iPhone-user since 2008, and moved over to Android a couple of months ago. I went into the store to get an iPhone 4S, but walked out with a RAZR. It was a spontaneus purchase, but it's one of the best purchaes I've made. My first thought when I got this phone, was to root it. Now, 2 months later, after reading thread after thread about anything that has to do with rooting, I still feel lost. I am hoping that someone could explain to me in more detail what the benefits or rooting are. I know the basic stuff, since I was jailbroken on my iPhone and probably did everything you can with an iPhone. Ok first to the technical part. I have 2.3.5 and I'm not automatically receiving the 2.3.6 update, shall I update manually from one of the links I found on this forum? Or should I root 2.3.5 and then use the 2.3.6 update guide once I get the update? Can someone explain to me in a more detailed way exactly what you can do or have done with your device after rooting it? My main reasons for rooting are - Clock CPU - Custom ROM Could you fill this up and give me more reasons to root? I'm not expecting any replies on this, as I always tend to make my posts unnecessarily long, lol. :frown: I'm very greatful for anything you can teach me or inform me so I don't have to feel so lost in this jungle!
Well first of congrats on your purchase and i would say not to update yet because what ive heard is their was no way to root 2.3.6 yet if im wrong plz correct me, and the benefits of rooting are good some examples are like u stated overclocking (im not sure if they found a way to do that on the razr yet) and ofcourse custom roms as well you could do wifi tethering ,freeze bloat(safer than deleting them!!!) And well more haha and finally i used doomlords root method which was basically one click method nice and simple ive done it multiple times no issue ,just remember to put your phone in debbuging mode Sent from my DROID RAZR using DroidForums
Root, jailbreak, both are somewhat alike, they both let you add custom modifications! And trust me, you'll love Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3) Motorola Droid 2: CyanogenMod 9
Thanks for the quick response guys. I'm reading a lot about backing up your phone using various backup applications, but here I am confused. What exactly do I need? Will a root reset my phone to factory default by the way? Thanks again
Hello and welcome! You won't have to necessarily root to update to 2.3.6 - there is a manual method. DROID RAZR 6.12.173 Update Pulled and Available for Use, Brings Phone to Android 2.3.6 [No Root Required] – Droid Life 2.3.6 is rootable, it is called MotoFail and is available in this utility which also contains the restore files... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-hacks/198379-updated-droid-razr-utility-windows.html As for why to root - complete control of your device and files. Rooting in itself won't change how the phone runs or operates but once you begin to make modifications (custom ROMs, overclocking, etc) then that will change how the phone runs. Once rooted, you are able to change the system font and obtain screenschots (each will require additional apps to be downloaded)... Good luck!
Titanium Back and MyBackUp Pro are two apps that can be used to backup your apps / data (TiBu requires root while MBP does not)... Rooting will not reset the phone nor will updating - however, if you have to use the restore files they will erase all info (including internal storage) on your phone.
Side note...have you tried to pull the update by going into phone settings (homescreen, hard menu key, settings) - about phone - updates?
Wow such great response on this forum. I've been looking around all morning and day about rooting, and I'm finally starting to feel somewhat comfortable. Unfortunately the update is not available when searching for it in my phone menu. Should I manually update to 2.3.6 and use this: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-hacks/198379-updated-droid-razr-utility-windows.html or stay on 2.3.5 and use http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-root-your-motorola-droid-razr-windows-only?? Thanks for the tips, I'm getting very eager to root now...!
I manually updated my Maxx and took the official OTA on my Razr - no differences at all in the operation of the 2 phones...so if you want to update, give it a try and good luck!
Alright, I'm going to manually update to 2.3.6 using the link in the thread, then root using the DROID RAZR Utility. Thanks for your help smalltowngirl, it's very appreciated EDIT: When I plugged in my phone to my PC, MotoCast downloaded and applied the update to my phone. So those of you who are waiting for the update could probably get it this way. EDIT #2: Is there any application that lets you customize the CPU clocking of DROID RAZR?
I used the manual update instead. I get an error message when applying the update saying "E:failed to verify whole-file signature. Installation aborted". Anyone know what to do? I can't seem to find any relevant information about this.
You are not currently rooted correct, no changes to your current device (apps froze or anything)? If not, possibly a bad download... Axiom [R]azr, maxx'd out with AOKP!
Everything is normal, still. Damn, I really want to root my device today! Perhaps I shall just root the 2.3.5? Will it be possible to update to 2.3.6 without losing the root? Or will this complicate things?
Yes, you can root 2.3.5 & attempt to maintain with the voodoo root keeper app (I say attempt cause it seems to produced different results for all)... But hold on a minute, I want to check out another option... Be right back... LOL Axiom [R]azr, maxx'd out with AOKP!
