This is a moment of suffering. Suffering is part of life. May I be kind to myself. May I give myself the compassion I need.
"How's it going?" I asked Susan during our follow-up phone coaching session. A second-grade teacher, Susan had recently completed the first weekend of the Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education (CARE) mindfulness-based teacher professional development program, and had begun practicing bringing a more mindful approach to her teaching.Read more »
Inadvertently, No Child Left Behind has resulted in teachers more stressed-out than ever. This is where practicing mindful awareness can make all the difference.
The classroom is a set-up for the stress response. I'm trying to get through this lesson so my kids will do well on the standardized tests and I'll be able to keep my job. But my students aren't paying attention and don't care a hoot about this test.Read more »

Axonal injury in the cerebral normal-appearing white matter of patients with multiple sclerosis is related to concurrent demyelination in lesions but not to concurrent demyelination in normal-appearing white matter.
ABSTRACT We assessed axonal injury and demyelination in the cerebral normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) of MS patients in a pilot study using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging and quantitative magnetization transfer (MT) imaging. Resonance intensities of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) relative to creatine (Cr) were measured in a large central brain volume. NAA/Cr in NAWM was estimated by regression of the NAA/Cr in each voxel against white matter fraction and extrapolation to a white matter fraction of 1. The fractional size of the semi-solid pool (F) was obtained from the binary spin bath model of MT by computing the model parameters from multiple MT-weighted and relaxometry acquisitions. F in NAWM was significantly smaller in the patients [0.109 (0.009)] relative to controls [0.123 (0.007), P = 0.011], but did not differ between RR [0.1085] and SP [0.1087] patients [P > 0.99]. NAA/Cr and F in the NAWM were not correlated (r = 0.16, P > 0.7), mainly due to a lack of variation in F among patients. This may indicate a floor to the extent of myelin pathology that can occur in NAWM before a lesion appears, or that axonal damage is not strictly related to demyelination. The correlation between NAWM NAA/Cr and T2w lesion volume was not significant (P > 0.1). However, dividing the lesion volumes by the mean F in T2w lesions resulted in a quantity that correlated well with NAWM NAA/Cr (r = -0.78, P = 0.038), possibly reflecting the association of Wallerian degeneration in the NAWM with axonal transection associated with demyelination within lesions.

ABSTRACT: The development and application of biomarkers to neurodegenerative diseases has become increasingly important in clinical practice and therapeutic trials. While substantial progress has been made at the basic science level in understanding the pathophysiology of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND), there are significant limitations in our current ability to predict the onset or trajectory of disease, and to accurately determine the effects of therapeutic interventions. Thus, the development of objective biomarkers is critical to further our understanding and treatment of HAND. In recent years, biomarker discovery efforts have largely been driven forward through the implementation of multiple "omics" approaches that include (but are not restricted to): Lipidomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and advances in brain imaging approaches such as functional connectomics. In this paper we summarize our progress to date on lipidomic approaches to biomarker discovery, discuss how these data have influenced basic research on the neuropathology of HAND, and implications for the development of therapeutics that target metabolic pathways involved in lipid handling.Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology 11/2013; 8(5).

Article: Modified model for four-wave mixing-based wavelength conversion in silicon micro-ring resonators[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A modified model for wavelength conversion based on the four-wave mixing (FWM) in a silicon micro-ring resonator is presented. Unlike previous contributions, the nonlinear phase shifts caused by self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation are also taken into account in the present theoretical analysis besides the linear propagation loss and the nonlinear losses caused by two-photon absorption and free-carrier absorption. Analysis shows that the nonlinear phase shifts will cause different red shifts for the pump and signal (or converted) resonant wavelengths, and consequently an additional wavelength difference between the signal transmission dip and the efficiency peak, which will increase/decrease the conversion efficiency of the signal channel far from/near the pump. The conversion efficiency and the conversion peak width of each signal channel are both affected by the micro-ring radius and coupling coefficient. A broader conversion peak width can be obtained by using a micro-ring resonator with a smaller Q factor.Optics Communications 04/2011; 284(8):2215-2221.

Article: Role of Imaging Techniques in Discerning Neurobehavioral Changes in Ischemic, Neurodegenerative and Demyelinating Disorders[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most important paraclinical measure for assessing and monitoring the pathologic changes implicated in the onset and progression of demyelinating and ischemic disorders. Conventional MRI sequences, such as T2-weighted imaging are unable to provide full details about the degree of inflammation and underlying neu- rodegenerative changes. Newer non-conventional MRI techniques have the potential to detect clinical impairment, disease progression, accumulation of disability, and the neuroprotective effects of treatment. The measurement of brain atrophy seems to be of growing clinical relevance as a biomarker of the disease process. Atrophy should now be included as a secondary end- point in trials of therapies aimed at limiting disease progression. Magnetization transfer imaging is increasingly used to characterize the evolution of lesions and normal-appearing brain tissue. Magnetic resonance spec-troscopy, which provides details on tissue biochemistry, metabolism, and function, also has the capacity to reveal neurodegeneration and neuroprotective mechanisms. By measuring the motion of water, diffusion imaging can provide information about the orientation, size, and geometry of tissue damage in white and gray matter. Functional MRI and other nuclear functional techniques may help clarify the brain's plasticity- and receptor-dependent compensatory mechanisms in patients with a variety of neurologic disorders. New techniques that might bring new information to the field include studies of microglial activation and studies using multiple single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) tracers. All these techniques are useful in establishing diagnosis, monitoring disease activity, measuring therapeutic effect and explaining the development of disability in the short-and long-term. The role of these techniques in discerning neurobehavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms in neurodegenerative (emphasizing Parkinson's Disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies), ischemic and demyelinating disorders will be discussed.

Emelin is an excellent skater with good size and passing ability. His only real problem is his inability to "pick his spots" better. That means, analyzing the play a little better and stop aggressively stepping up to make the big hit. He could easily be a top four defenseman in the NHL and I think most NHL teams would agree.
In regards to Diaz, he has two things holding him back from being a top four defender. The first is his lack of size and overall bulk. The second is his lack of an NHL caliber slap shot and one timer. He has a sneaky wrist shot/snap shot, but he cant hammer it from the one timer like Streit, MAB or Souray could. He does have better playmaking abilities than MAB or Souray though. Positionally he is very good and he has an active stick, but in front of the net and in the corners he has problems. Does St. Denis really have an advantage in this regard? Maybe slightly as I would say he is more poised in the defensive zone at times. Still think Diaz makes it over St. Denis and Weber will be traded.
Diaz doesn't have a Souray/Weber/Chara calibre slapshot but to say that it isn't NHL calibre..........really?

I picked up a used crankanstein 3D from a fellow HBT member and as usual over did it on the end product! I have a buddy that was able to help me out with the aluminum and a local welder (I am only set up to weld mild steel) who majorly hooked me up. I will post more pics from start to finish but the basic parts list is: 1 Dayton Gearmotor used from CL ($30), 1 Dayton Drum Switch ($30), 1 used barebones CrankandStein 3D ($100), bunch of free aluminum and a whole lot of time! The motor may be underpowered at 1/6HP and 46 in lbs of torque but we'll see......
Sitting next to my 15# hopper Barley Crusher
Very nice!
Do you know what gap it is set to? 3 roller mills are torque hogs, especially at tighter settings.
I think it's set to factory when I initially checked it, I also haven't found a good primer on how to adjust the 3D. Milled grain samples were pretty close to my .040 barley crusher. Trying to get this right so any pointers are appreciated, next weekend I have 60lbs to grind for a 20 gallon batch of Belgian dark strong.
more pics of the build
I have my mm3 set to .0032" and I always condition my grains. I get really pretty husks this way and fairly good efficiency (86 - 89%). I constantly recirc my mash so the nice husks are helpful in maintaining a good flow rate.
cool. thanks! I also do a constant recirc of my mash, my efficiency is usually in the mid 80's so I wouldn't mind a little boost. I'm going to grind 5 lbs or so to see if it binds up, the good news is that these motors are really expensive and torquey and I got two of them for $60 so worse case scenario I sell both of them and get one new 1/3 or 1/2 HP version as they use the same bracket and wiring....
Wow, no issue Crushing 22lbs of grain in a few minutes with the 1/6 hp gear motor!
This thing is truly a beast! Ground another 31 lbs in a few minutes perfectly and doing 55lbs for a Tripel tomorrow! Party on!
55lbs? Hell yeah!
I crushed 30lbs straight a couple days ago.... It's addictive
nice now sell me your barley crusher for cheap! Im a POOR!! Grad student

Charlottenlund Fort
Charlottenlund Fort was built between 1883 and 86 as a coastal battery and the fort functioned as a fortress for the defence of Copenhagen Harbour until 1932. From Charlottenlund you can see two other forts, Flakfortet and Middelgrundsfortet. The fort was decommissioned in 1932.
There is a campsite operating within the old ramparts, open from March to October.Related to:

A Favorite View
Klampehnbor is the name of a town about ten miles north of Copenhagen along the Eastern coast.
Strandmollerkroen is the name of my Danish friend's favorite restaurant.
On our way to 'Hamlet's Castle' in Helsingor we stopped at Strandmollekroen for lunch.
Ask for a table by the window, overlooking the Kattegat Sea towards Sweden, the view of the water is lovely. We ordered the Danish traditional open faced sandwiches which were delicious.
This was a wonderful spot to stop on our journey up the coast. The view was beautiful and peaceful, the perfect back drop to go with a traditional Danish meal.
Also, this restaurant is not far from the famous Louisiana Museum of Art, which is another great place for daytrip from Copenhagen.Related to:

Knippelsbro or Knippel Bridge is a bascule bridge across the Inner Harbour of Copenhagen. Constructed in 1937 and is designed by architect Kaj Gottlob. There has been a bridge there for many a years. whilst we spent all our money on whisky and beers. A caretaker lived by one of the old bridges collecting tolls from ships coming into the harbour way back in 1641.Related to:

Charlottenlund Slot og Slotshave
Charlottenlund Slot og Slotshave (Charlottenlund Palace and Palace Gardens) are located in Charlottenlund, about 6 km north of Copenhagen. The palace was built between 1731 and 1733 and was a royal residence for more than 200 years. Since 1935, the palace has been used by the Danish Institute for Fisheries Research and is closed to the public except for special events.
The Palace Gardens is a little hidden treasure in the Copenhagen area. The garden is a very peaceful and beautiful place with a little lake, an old ice-house (with polar bears carved above its entrance) and the idyllic, yellow, half-timbered house, which has been used as a wash house and as lodgings for the Royal Life Guards.Related to:

A small and very pretty village about 2-3 hours by public transport from Copenhagen. We took a train from Copenhagen airport to Nyborg, then caught the 920 bus (direction Bojden) to Faaborg. We visited Claus (Casacheiro) to watch a Liverpool Legends football team play against a Denmark legends team in nearby Horne. We only stayed one night, and most of that was spent watching football and drinking, so we only really got to see our hotel, the main street and the bus station, but it seemed like a very nice place to spend some time on a side trip from Copenhagen. When we arrived at the bus station, the first thing we noticed was the Tourist Information Office and right opposite, the hotel which we tried to stay at. Sadly it was fully booked and we had to stay outside of Faaborg.
Nordisk Film
If you're interested in film history, a guided tour at the Nordisk Film studios in Valby could be an option. IMO the highlight of the tour is the visit to "Studio 2" which is the oldest film studio in the world, but there are also other interesting things to do and see: The screening of the old silent movie, "The Lion Hunt" from 1907, and the stories behind the movie... The small museum with old costumes and exhibits from Danish productions, "Olsen Banden", "Huset på Christianshavn", and "Matador" just to mention a few… The sound studios… And the modern studios where films and television shows are made today.
There is also a small shop where you can buy old and new movies, posters etc.Related to:

Mindelunden (the Memorial Grove) is a memorial park in Ryvangen in Copenhagen. The park was founded in 1950 as a memorial place for the people who were killed because they were part of the resistance movement during World War II. This site was chosen for the Memorial Park as it was the very place where the Nazis executed and buried their victims.
Inside the park you'll find the gun shooting range, the big cemetery with the graves found in 1945, the cemetery for the victims of the concentration camps, the wall of remembrance of the Danish patriots, and the execution yard with the execution poles.
Mindelunden is a very peaceful and beautiful place, but also very emotional. A visit here is a good way to show your respect to the people who stood up for Denmark during World War II.Related to:

Charlottenlund Fort
Charlottenlund Fort (Charlottenlund Fortress) is located 6 km from the centre of Copenhagen. The fortress was constructed during the year 1886-1887 and functioned as a fortress for the defence of Copenhagen Harbour until 1932. Today, you can still see the ramparts and some of the old cannons and there is free access to the old fortress. There is a beautiful view of Øresund from the top of the ramparts.
Charlottenlund Fort is a part of Charlottenlund Beachpark which is also home of a campsite, a restaurant and a nice beach. The area used to be called 'The Flypaper' because of its huge popularity among the Copenhageners.Related to:

Vestre Kirkegård
Vestre Kirkegård (Vestre Cemetery) is located southwest of the city centre – within walking distance from Sjælør, Enghave and Valby S-train stations.
The cemetery is – besides a burial place – a beautiful and peaceful place with open lawns, the Crossroads Project (a garden complex with a pavilion at its centre), tree-lined avenues, overgrown tombs, mausoleums and many other old monuments.
It is rather popular for people to take a stroll through the cemetery and look at the old graves and monuments. Many former prime ministers and political leaders (for example Per Hækkerup, Jens Otto Krag and Thorvald Stauning), are buried around the pond. The pond is nicknamed 'The Red Sea' because they were all social democrats or communist…Related to:

Scientist in the city; 1.
Sitting in front of your pc electricity is such an at hand obvious entity of our world. Copenhagen as the capital lays clam to the discovery of the basis for all of the marvel of electrical instruments we are so accustomed to at present. At the actual spot (at Nørregade) of this fundamental discovery there is a little reminder of this. It is in Danish but it simply stats that:
In a house at this place the physicist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered electromagnetism in the year 1820.
Thinking about that it is less then 200 years ago …and how the world have change in this time, it is to my mind at true marvel

Strandvejen (the Beach Road), north of Copenhagen, is a popular destination for many locals on a sunny Sunday or a holiday. There are cruising cars and motorcycles, bicycles, skaters, joggers and strolling couples – on their way to/from the Bellevue beach at Klampenborg or just enjoying the view of Øresund.
I especially enjoy taking my bike and going for a ride between Hellerup and Klampenborg. This part of Strandvejen is called Kystvejen (the Coast Road). Halfway between Hellerup and Klampenborg there is a 6 meter high statue of Knud Rasmussen, who was a Greenlandic polar explorer.
Strandvejen continues after Klampenborg and follows the coastline of Øresund with beautiful views from many spots. This part of Copenhagen is one of the most expensive areas in Copenhagen and there are many beautiful villas along the road.Related to:

Assistens Kirkegård
Assistens Kirkegård (The Assistants Cemetery) is located on Nørrebro and was founded in 1757. It is the largest cemetery in Copenhagen and many famous people are buried here; for example fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) and scientist and Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr (1885-1962). Inside the cemetery gates are maps, which show the location of the most famous graves – or follow the signs if you want to visit the grave of Hans Christian Andersen.
I really enjoy taking a stroll through the Assistants Cemetery and I'm not the only one. It is a popular and peaceful place and some areas are today more used as a park than a cemetery and you'll see people sunbathing or having a picnic between the graves.Related to:

Frilandsmuseet (The Open Air Museum), in Sorgenfri about 15 km north of Copenhagen, was founded in 1897 and is one of the largest and oldest open air museums in the World. The museum houses more than 50 farms, mills and houses from the period from 1650 to 1950. Not just copies of the original buildings – every building is actually transferred from its original site to the museum. There are buildings from all over Denmark and from the Faeroe Islands and the former Danish provinces of southern Sweden and northern Germany as well. All houses are equipped with original furniture and the land/garden around each building appears as the original surroundings of the building.
When you enter the museum it is like walking into another time period and it is a great place to learn more about the cultural history of everyday life as it was in the past. The museum is huge and it takes almost a whole day to see it all. You should also take the time to visit Mølleådalen and Brede at the same time (read my other tips).
The Open Air Museum is a part of the National Museum and has free admission.Related to:

Trekroner Søfort
Trekroner Søfort (Trekroner Sea Fort) is located at the entrance to the Copenhagen harbour, and was part of the fortifications around Copenhagen. The sea fort is named after one of three old line ships that in 1713 were sunk to form the basis for a battery. The original sea fort was located a few hundred meters north of the current fort, but in 1787 it was decided to build a new sea fort and it is the Trekroner Søfort you can visit today.
The sea fort was an important part of the defence during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 and again during the British attack on Copenhagen in 1807. After World War I it was taken out of action and in 1934 it was sold to the Copenhagen harbour services. During the German occupation of Denmark the sea fort was used by the Germans as barracks. Later it was vacant until 1984 when it was opened to the public.
At Trekroner Søfort you are free to walk around on your own and enjoy the historical atmosphere. You can explore the old buildings, take a look at the new exhibitions (from June 2010) or take a walk on the ramparts. From the top of the buildings and the ramparts there is a fantastic view of Copenhagen, the harbour and the Sea of Oresund. There is also a café on the small island and here you can buy coffee, beer, ice cream or something to eat.
To visit the sea fort you can take the waterbuses. The trip takes about 30 minutes and on the way you'll pass the Opera House, the Little Mermaid and a few other famous sights in Copenhagen. Check their webpage for more info…Related to:

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Lawrence Gipe and John Seed discuss their mutual enthusiasm for and their "oppositional" tastes in contemporary representational painting. Two excerpts:
Seed: "Painting is a very, very old tradition, and the painting that interests me now attempts to consolidate and refine venerable traditions... when I first see a new artist's work I ask myself, 'What are the genetic (art historical) strands that this work is woven from?' At the moment, I am seeing exciting work that taps into Old Master and academic art, Expressionism and Bay Area Figuration. Of course there are many other sources being accessed, as well."
Gipe: "I ... think that having the meaning of the picture be outside of the 'tableau' itself is a template for an engaged relationship to the world--there's always more than meets the eye in any given image, always layers and layers of back story. While I enjoy abstract painting, it seems conceptually mined-out, a bit exhausted. That's why I gravitate towards representational work... To me, depiction provides the widest platform for artistic expression; it potentially connects with all layers of political, formal and visual issues."
John Goodrich reviews the exhibition Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Hals: Masterpieces of Dutch Painting from the Mauritshuis at the Frick Collection, New York, on view through January 19, 2014.
Goodrich writes that he was drawn in particular to Rembrandt who "never shied from sentiment and spectacle, but his muscular drawing and color impart a striking gravity to 'Susanna' (1636); no painting here surpasses the weighty drama of its huddled, leaning figure. Hanging alongside, his small, early 'Simeon's Song of Praise' (1631) could be the ultimate lesson in multi-figure composition: a tilted ring of people—variously stretching, hunching, and leaning—holds beneath the lunging verticals of an immense interior; dramatic contrasts of light fix each person's rhythmic disposition. (To appreciate how remarkable this work is, compare it to a work by his student, Nicolaes Maes, across the gallery. Maes' darks are merely dark, not colorful, and his unweighted colors fail to build in sequences that would make any element necessary or unique.)"
Mira Gerard interviews painter Anne Harris about her work and career.
Harris remarks: "I'm really interested in the sense that substances can shift their weight–that flesh can be air, that air can be liquid, that density shifts...There's an assumption that I must intend to paint a conventional description of 3-D form and weight, but really I'm trying to do something that can't be nailed down. I tend to think metaphorically when I paint–I'm at my best when I do. So, I might imagine that the figure is being poured into her container, that the ground surrounding her is some denser stuff, holding her in place (like a mold), or that the painting itself is a slice of air and everything in it is just slightly shifting, like condensation, or everything is skin, pushing against the membrane of the picture plane... I am drawn to work that slowly unfolds, that holds me, mesmerizes me. My hope is that the elements in my painting can function this way. Color is a part of that. I like nameless colors, colors that only get their identity in relationship to other colors, they shift, or flex depending on their context. My hope is that the longer you look, the more they change, that the painting itself keeps shifting."
Christopher Joy and Zachary Keeting visit the studio of painter Sam Messer.
Messer draws while discussing his work including his portrait paintings. He notes that "they're kind of traditional, classical paintings - symbolic portraiture... I'm not interested in the likeness, I'm interested in the feeling - and that feeling, the way I work, comes across in the making, something happens and that's what I stay with... I'm not trying to get a specific image or specific likeness. I'm trying to find some relationship between that and the form, so therefore it can stay open."
Rachel Spence reviews the exhibition Antonello da Messina at Mart Roverto, on view through January 12, 2014. The post is accompanied by an excellent slideshow.
Spence writes that "Messina's psychological acuity renders his subjects as complex as any 20th-century study." She adds that the show "distils the artist to a nucleus that spans his career. Though monumental altarpieces are present, its core is the clutch of portraits, both secular and sacred, that highlight his gift for capturing his subjects' human essence. Meanwhile, a constellation of paintings by his forerunners and peers shines a welcome light on the painterly ferment in southern Italy, too often overlooked in favour of Tuscany and Venice."
David Rhodes reviews the recent exhibition Alex Katz: Small Paintings 1987-2013 at Peter Blum Gallery, New York.
Rhodes writes that "because the paintings are both very focused and fragmentary, they can be seen as both complete in themselves – time stilled – and as a sequence of moments, hours or years apart. That portraits appear at intervals (or in one place together as a group) only enhances the impression of a flow of events unfolding as much as images of things remembered from the past. What amounts to fragments of life are presented at varying degrees of proximity and distance: figures and heads, both partial and complete; flowers, grouped or isolated; trees reflected, next to each other, or singular, but always seen in sections and not whole, however complete they are as an image."
Colm Tóibín interviews painter Miquel Barceló his recent work, on view at Acquavella Galleries, New York, through November 22, 2013.
Talking about his technique of painting with bleach, Barceló comments: "you don't see what happens until the day after. You believe it happens but you don't know... With bleach, it's always the eyes and hands work something like a camera. It is very close to photography, but before photography and painting separate. Photography is a chemical process and my art is like photography but my hand makes the chemistry. There is a point very early, where photography is like a technique of paint. It's okay to be in between, because something interesting happens when photography goes one way and paint another."
A'Dora Phillips and Brian Schumacher interview painter Lennart Anderson on the occasion of the exhibition Lennart Anderson: Paintings & Drawings at Leigh Morse Fine Arts, New York, on view through November 23, 2013.
Speaking about perceptual painting Anderson comments: "I'm not dependent on what I'm carrying around in my head. If you have something to look at, and if you're diligent, and if you love it, you can make good art by working from perception. Otherwise, you think you have to have an idea. And then you paint your idea." He continues: "I just followed whatever I was interested in, painters and paintings that inspired me. I don't claim to be one of those geniuses. You're not supposed to be influenced. You're supposed to be yourself, but I've always been influenced. Painters steal. Artists steal. I remember when I went to Cranbrook, I was so intimidated by the jargon about creativity. Creativity – I never knew what that was. I still don't know. There it is."
Thomas Micchelli blogs about Leonardo da Vinci's drawing Head of a Young Woman (Study for the Angel in the 'Virgin of the Rocks') on view in the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: Treasures from the Biblioteca Reale, Turin at the Morgan Library, New York, through February 2, 2014.
Micchelli writes that "the drawing is imperfect, which is essential to its probing, critical, transporting beauty. Leonardo's inquisitive hand never settles on a single way of seeing or doing: the cheek on the right is molded with an exquisite caress, with the artist's distinctive left-to-right hatch marks cascading like sheets of water, while the shadow across the woman's back feels bluntly swiped in, as if he saw no reason to spend time on it. The dancelike curls delineating the locks of hair trailing down her spine are rendered minimally, almost abstractly, even as the minute strokes of white gracing her nose, cheeks and eyelid return the drawing to a moist, porous realism."
Jed Perl reviews the exhibition See It Loud: Seven Post-War American Painters at the National Academy Museum, New York, on view through January 26, 2014. The show features work by Leland Bell, Paul Georges, Peter Heinemann, Albert Kresch, Stanley Lewis, Paul Resika and Neil Welliver.
Perl writes that the show fails to offer "the expansive alternative history so many of us hoped for." He continues: "Even those who admire much of the painting in 'See It Loud' should be gobsmacked by a show that overlooks Nell Blaine, Lois Dodd, Jane Freilicher, Grace Hartigan, Mercedes Matter, and Louisa Matthiasdottir. With 'See It Loud,' the National Academy has performed the rather extraordinary feat of turning a postwar movement in which women were every bit as prominent as men into a boys' club with not a single girl in sight. This is not only politically incorrect; it's historically incorrect. Women were leaders in postwar painterly realism—certainly Blaine, Freilicher, Hartigan, and Matthiasdottir were much more prominent than some of the men in this show—so how can the story be told without them?"

Televisions manufactured after May 10, 2011, will have to display EnergyGuide stickers detailing how much energy they consume, according to a Wednesday announcement from the Federal Trade Commission.
The yellow labels have long appeared on home appliances such as dishwashers and fridges and will now be required on new TVs, thanks to a recent change to the FTC's Appliance Labeling Rule. The label must be visible on the front of the TV and include the estimated annual energy cost as well as a comparison with other TVs of the same size.
"Unlike many years ago, before flat screens and plasma, today's televisions vary widely in the amount of energy they use," said FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz. "By comparing information on the EnergyGuide labels, consumers will be able to make better-informed decisions about which model they choose to buy, based on how much it costs to operate per year."
Beginning next July, websites that sell TVs will also have to display an image of the label. The FTC was required to consider whether EnergyGuide labels should be displayed on TVs as part of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The rule change was approved unanimously.

Malicious XML: Matryoshka Edition
Last Updated: 2015-03-29 10:23:25 UTC
by Didier Stevens (Version: 1)
A couple of days ago I received another malicious document (078409755.doc B28EF236D901A96CFEFF9A70562C9155). Unlike the XML file I wrote about before, this one does not contain VBA macros:
But as you can see, it should contain an embedded object. The base64 code found inside the XML object decodes to an OLE file. The single stream present in this OLE file contains ZLIB compressed data (identifiable via byte 0x78). Decompressing this ZLIB stream reveals another OLE file. Which in turn contains an embedded OLE object that turns out to be a VBS script:
And the base64 string in this VBS script is a PowerShell command:
If you are interested to see how you can analyze this sample with oledump, you can take a look at this video I produced.
If you have more information or corrections regarding our diary, please share.

D7100: Not under $1000 and slow
by PistonCupChampion - 4/29/13 8:40 AM
In Reply to: Nikon D7100 by snapshot2
All DSLR's are relatively poor at AF for video. That's why pros don't use AF with DSLR's. A better choice for video would be a mirrorless camera, and for under $1K, the Panasonic G5, or possibly the newly announced G6.

COVINGTON TWP.—Sometimes, it's really about the little things.
Ask Crestwood head coach Mike Williams, and he'll admit that. He also won't deny North Pocono performed the little details better than his Comets.
In the end, it led to a Trojan victory.
Katlyn Ivanoff and Emily Cook controlled the front line as North Pocono executed the fundamentals to near perfection as the Trojans remained perfect in the Wyoming Valley Conference with a 3-0 girls volleyball victory over Crestwood.
Game scores were 25-17, 25-19 and 25-21.
"Fundamentals are the key aspect in all sports, and that's especially true in volleyball," Pocono head coach Chris Summa said. "It was a good win for us. We did some nice things. Mike does a good job at Crestwood, so you can't take anything away from them. We just did the fundamentals a little better tonight."
The little things could really add up to bite you.
The Comets struggled with the back-line pass, which in turn, didn't allow the offense to flow effectively.
The ace-service error percentage wasn't too good, either. Crestwood only had four aces in the match, but committed a total of 12 errors.
No doubt, the serve-receive was the main culprit.
"That was our biggest problem tonight," Williams said. "Our defense was solid overall. We didn't bring a lot of offense, and the first pass has something to do with that. They grabbed the momentum early, and they used home court to their advantage. They are well-coached; I think Chris is one of the best coaches in this league. His record proves it."
One sequence in the opening set proves the point of how little things add up.
Tied at 11, Crestwood (3-2) got whistled for a foot-fault on the serve. What followed were three bad back-line passes, a net violation and two setting infractions.
Just like that, an 11-all tie turned into an 18-12 deficit.
For comparison purposes, North Pocono (4-0) only had one service error and three attack errors in the opening set.
"We've been looking forward to this game for a while. I was so pumped and ready for this one," said Katlyn Ivanoff, who finished with a game-high eight kills. "We worked hard to get this win, and we practice so hard. We want to make an impact in the league, and hopefully, see what happens when districts come."
The closest set down the stretch was the final stanza. Up 21-20, Pocono used back-to-back Emily Cook kills, and a big block from junior Mallorie Deschaine to end it at 25-21.
"We have been mistake-prone early in the matches. We've had some success, but we've been too mistake-prone. We were focused and ready today," Summa said. "It's a good win for our program. Crestwood has been in the top three in the league, and that's an area where we hope to be every single season. It's a good win, and a stepping stone. But we have to take one step at a time."
Taryn Wojnar had six kills to pace Crestwood, while Olivia Jankowski and Emily Sipple combined for 19 assists.
"I think we came in a little overconfident," Williams said. "We've had a good run against North Pocono in the last few years, and I think it carried in. That overconfidence hurt us. Sometimes, it works for you. Today, it just didn't work for us. It's a tough one to swallow, but we'll move on and look forward to seeing them in playoffs."
Hanover Area 3, GAR 1
Hanover Area recovered after a first set loss to win three close sets by scores of 22-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-22. Phyanna Fine made six aces and eight kills. Shalianna Rios notched 26 digs and five aces. Hannah Eck recorded 11 digs and seven assists.

- Weighted Particles in the Finite Pointset method (1991)
- Using particle methods to solve the Boltzmann equation for rarefied gases numerically, in realistic streaming problems, huge differences in the total number of particles per cell arise. In order to overcome the resulting numerical difficulties the application of a weighted particle concept is well-suited. The underlying idea is to use different particle masses in different cells depending on the macroscopic density of the gas. Discrepance estimates and numerical results are given.
- Weight-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree Problem (2007)
- In an undirected graph G we associate costs and weights to each edge. The weight-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree of total edge weight at most a given value W and minimum total costs under this restriction. In this thesis a literature overview on this NP-hard problem, theoretical properties concerning the convex hull and the Lagrangian relaxation are given. We present also some in- and exclusion-test for this problem. We apply a ranking algorithm and the method of approximation through decomposition to our problem and design also a new branch and bound scheme. The numerical results show that this new solution approach performs better than the existing algorithms.
- Weber s Problem with attraction and repulsion under Polyhedral Gauges (1999)
- Given a finite set of points in the plane and a forbidden region R, we want to find a point X not an element of int(R), such that the weighted sum to all given points is minimized. This location problem is a variant of the well-known Weber Problem, where we measure the distance by polyhedral gauges and allow each of the weights to be positive or negative. The unit ball of a polyhedral gauge may be any convex polyhedron containing the origin. This large class of distance functions allows very general (practical) settings - such as asymmetry - to be modeled. Each given point is allowed to have its own gauge and the forbidden region R enables us to include negative information in the model. Additionally the use of negative and positive weights allows to include the level of attraction or dislikeness of a new facility. Polynomial algorithms and structural properties for this global optimization problem (d.c. objective function and a non-convex feasible set) based on combinatorial and geometrical methods are presented.
- Weak Dependence of Functional INGARCH Processes (2010)
- We introduce a class of models for time series of counts which include INGARCH-type models as well as log linear models for conditionally Poisson distributed data. For those processes, we formulate simple conditions for stationarity and weak dependence with a geometric rate. The coupling argument used in the proof serves as a role model for a similar treatment of integer-valued time series models based on other types of thinning operations.
- Wavelets Generated by Layer Potentials (2001)
- By means of the limit and jump relations of classical potential theory the framework of a wavelet approach on a regular surface is established. The properties of a multiresolution analysis are verified, and a tree algorithm for fast computation is developed based on numerical integration. As applications of the wavelet approach some numerical examples are presented, including the zoom-in property as well as the detection of high frequency perturbations. At the end we discuss a fast multiscale representation of the solution of (exterior) Dirichlet's or Neumann's boundary-value problem corresponding to regular surfaces.
- Wavelet-Mie-Representations for Solenoidal Vector Fields with Applications to Ionospheric Geomagnetic Data (2004)
- A wavelet technique, the wavelet-Mie-representation, is introduced for the analysis and modelling of the Earth's magnetic field and corresponding electric current distributions from geomagnetic data obtained within the ionosphere. The considerations are essentially based on two well-known geomathematical keystones, (i) the Helmholtz-decomposition of spherical vector fields and (ii) the Mie-representation of solenoidal vector fields in terms of poloidal and toroidal parts. The wavelet-Mie-representation is shown to provide an adequate tool for geomagnetic modelling in the case of ionospheric magnetic contributions and currents which exhibit spatially localized features. An important example are ionospheric currents flowing radially onto or away from the Earth. To demonstrate the functionality of the approach, such radial currents are calculated from vectorial data of the MAGSAT and CHAMP satellite missions.
- Wavelet-based Adaptive Multiresolution Tools Applied to Speech Recognition (2006)
- * naive examples which show drawbacks of discrete wavelet transform and windowed Fourier transform; * adaptive partition (with a 'best basis' approach) of speech-like signals by means of local trigonometric bases with orthonormal windows. * extraction of formant-like features from the cosine transform; * further proceedingings for classification of vowels or voiced speech are suggested at the end.
- Wavelet Thresholding: Beyond the Gaussian I.I.D. Situation (1995)
- With this article we first like to give a brief review on wavelet thresholding methods in non-Gaussian and non-i.i.d. situations, respectively. Many of these applications are based on Gaussian approximations of the empirical coefficients. For regression and density estimation with independent observations, we establish joint asymptotic normality of the empirical coefficients by means of strong approximations. Then we describe how one can prove asymptotic normality under mixing conditions on the observations by cumulant techniques.; In the second part, we apply these non-linear adaptive shrinking schemes to spectral estimation problems for both a stationary and a non-stationary time series setup. For the latter one, in a model of Dahlhaus on the evolutionary spectrum of a locally stationary time series, we present two different approaches. Moreover, we show that in classes of anisotropic function spaces an appropriately chosen wavelet basis automatically adapts to possibly different degrees of regularity for the different directions. The resulting fully-adaptive spectral estimator attains the rate that is optimal in the idealized Gaussian white noise model up to a logarithmic factor.
- Wavelet Thresholding in Anisotropic Function Classes and Application to Adaptive Estimation of Evolutionary Spectra (1997)
- We derive minimax rates for estimation in anisotropic smoothness classes. This rate is attained by a coordinatewise thresholded wavelet estimator based on a tensor product basis with separate scale parameter for every dimension. It is shown that this basis is superior to its one-scale multiresolution analog, if different degrees of smoothness in different directions are present.; As an important application we introduce a new adaptive wavelet estimator of the time-dependent spectrum of a locally stationary time series. Using this model which was resently developed by Dahlhaus, we show that the resulting estimator attains nearly the rate, which is optimal in Gaussian white noise, simultaneously over a wide range of smoothness classes. Moreover, by our new approach we overcome the difficulty of how to choose the right amount of smoothing, i.e. how to adapt to the appropriate resolution, for reconstructing the local structure of the evolutionary spectrum in the time-frequency plane.

Cicadas - protect trees?
Hi all,
It just occurred to me that I should ask you about this.
Tennessee will be hosting the 17-year cicadas in May. They are projected to be very heavy in my region, middle Tennessee.
I have several young deciduous trees, many of them less two years old. Do I need to cover all of these? I'm especially concerned about a very small Yellowood, and the 4 ft. Chalk Bark Maple and Paperbark Maples I planted last fall. I also have five Japanese Maples that I'd sure hate to lose! They're a bit older than the aforementioned trees, but not completely mature.
Most of what I'm reading online recommends covering young trees with netting, but my mom talked to a local expert and came away with the impression that he wasn't too concerned - he seemed to think most trees would bounce back from any damage done.
What say you, tree experts? If I'm covering stuff, I'd better be getting on it this weekend. Thanks!
just a gut reaction ....
but no self respecting large bug is going to be hanging out at 4 feet ...
they hang out in my 60 foot cherries ...
take a walk after dinner each day.. and shake your 4 foot tree ... and if anything falls out.. step on it ...
it aint worth looking at covered trees all summer to do that noise .. lol ...
Cicadas are very specific (3-11 mm) on the girth of the branches on/in which they'll deposit their eggs. Those can be found on the tips of the canopies of huge trees, or yeah.....four feet off the ground in a very young tree. However, Ken was right in his hunch they prefer taller trees, usually at forest edge or roadside as they cue in on their oviposition sites by light.
We had them in spades some years back and there was tree damage, but mostly on the larger (yes native cherry) and there was some branch death and resulting shedding. Not a big deal and it didn't impact the health of the tree. They tend to stay near their birth sites to mate and lay eggs, and that tells me if their cycles were very destructive, that evolutionary pattern would not have evolved.
In the trade I am in (nurseryman) some of my colleagues who raise mostly woody stock get concerned, but it's more about the cosmetic damage they can produce on trees awaiting sales. No I would not and did not net anything, and absolutely don't fall for anyone's suggestion of chemical control.
Just enjoy the experience. People travel from all over the world to enjoy and participate in our brood emergences. The roar here is deafening and one can hear it progress daily and get closer until you are engulfed in the drone. I had geese that year and they thought they died and went to heaven and it was very hard to confine them in their pens at night because they were engorging themselves on cicada.
Thank you so much for your excellent replies and advice! :) I feel so much better. I'm just very much in love with these few new trees I've planted and wanted to make sure they weren't in danger.
I feel positive that the dogs will be extremely excited about the emergence of the cicadas, and they'll probably be gorging too. We'll definitely have some fat and happy birds, too. I'm not sure I'll ever reach the point of enjoying them myself. ;) I think there is nothing more unsettling than a drunken cicada flying into your hair and getting stuck. But at least I'll be able to rest easy about the trees.
I agree that Cicadas are cool! Apparently the south central states are having a 13 year emergence.
I remember watching a nature show about an emergence, showing zillions of Cicadas everywhere and all the wildlife stuffing themselves, and the narrator saying "A miracle has happened in the forest. Everyone has full bellies."
i was once driving down to columbus OH .... with 2 screaming kids .. and the radio up high .... trying to drown out the kids ...
and went thru this forested area .... and the din was so great.. that i heard it over the radio.. so i flipped it off.. figuring the car was about to explode .. lol ... the kids quieted ... we rolled down the window.. it was intense ...
not sure how good they will be for the dogs ... lol
I think they're fine for dogs or people to eat. It will not be good at all for the dogs' attention spans, though. I predict that it will be impossible to get them to play fetch for the duration of time they're around. Training outside will be out of the question. :p
Have a look at the linked recipe booklet below. Mmm-mmm, good!
I remember the last big emergence we had here - seems like it was in '96, '98 - somewhere along then.
Really eerie sound all day long - sounded like something out of a bad '50s space alien movie; and the little single-string Echo weedeater I had at the time must have emitted a frequency similar to the mating call of the female cicadas, 'cause every time I used it, I'd be swarmed by amorous males.
They caused some pretty significant damage to young fruit trees that had been in the ground 2-3 years, but all recovered, and I doubt I could show you an oviposition scar today.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cicada-licious
I can assure you tgmccallie they have been on that property thousands of years before you ever moved there. They are a feast for all sorts of beasts when they emerge....the birds...the geese........dogs and cats......if you've never seen an emergence, you'll see why spraying is futile and it won't begin to put a dent in their population, just poison birds, geese, dogs, cats. Goooooooooooo uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm, study your navel for about a week until it's all over and the cycle completes itself and you won't have to face it again for a long while.
My schnauzer ate them as fast as he could gobble them up and he'd eject one load and then go for a second. LOL.
Update: They are out in full force now. One of my dogs loves to eat them, the other has decided he's terrified of them and refused to go out to potty last night. I am of the same opinion - it is impossible (for me) not to jump out of my skin when one lands on me and makes that horrible screeching sound.
I'm on a little gardening break until this is over. :\ Which I hope will be in the 4 week range rather than 6 weeks.
I am getting a little worried about all my young trees. I didn't cover them, so I sure hope they'll be OK. I didn't even think about this when I was buying trees like crazy last year. What a bad year I picked to do that...
Cicadas are cool!? Ugh. No. Not at all cool. They are going to devastate my container citrus trees. These are mostly on dwarf rootstock so they have tons of the size of branches that the cicadas love to do this to: From Plant Diagnosis
That branch will die. When those eggs hatch the nymphs will start eating the roots of this 8' tree in a 30" pot. How long, do you think, before they kill it? Maybe they aren't a serious problem for any established plant in the ground - but I'm furious over here about my container trees...
Not. Cool.
Millions of bugs flying around your head all day long - and god forbid you TOUCH a maple tree and cause the thousands of large bugs to come flying off. We're talking Biblical plague here. I guess those are cool? Oh wait. No. Not at all cool.
Well the Cicadas were here long before people were, and they aren't going away. They are also very important in the natural pruning process, and most branches due survive. Best to learn to cope with them. Also see link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cicadas
In my area a brood emerged the summer after I had planted over 100 new plants- talk about bad timing.
But I was new to the climate and didn't know about brood numbers etc.
I did cover everything- either with tree bags or custom covers I made from lightweight row cover material bought in bulk. I double folded the seams and used staples.
It was a giant pain but everything survived and I would certainly recommend covering.
It took my trees several years after our cicada event to look decent. I did lose a couple of small ones but even what I did cover looked like crap for while, you can't fight them. I think it just depends on how many cicadas your talking. My conifers were untouched. Lots of dead small limbs in the late summer which mature trees shrug off but small trees with less to lose suffered. I would pat myself down before entering the house but still managed to bring some in down my pants. Neighbors got a show that evening.

Comments are very appreciated. please leave one!
I thought I might say a little bit about how we got these Ophelia shots. Missy is a VERY talented photographer friend of mine (to view her work, go http://missyjanek.deviantart.com/) and she has also modeled for me in the past. I thought she'd be great for this concept, so we started about 3pm yesterday. All was going well until she got in the pool and said "I don't know how to swim!"
So we struggled and propped her up with pool noodles and floaties and Adam even held her legs while she tried to stay afloat. I felt like she really was going to drown a couple of times! (We kept her in the shallow end, of course! and my dog was keeping watch as life guard.)
For someone who had not really been in water before, I think she did a great job. :)
Wow! I love the soft colours and the bokeh…
thank you!
