The Latest Designer Pumpkins to Haunt Your Halloween
A forecast of the year's trendiest jack-o'-lanterns
Houzz Contributor. I started drawing as a child, from the time I could pick up a pen, and my father and mother encouraged my interest in art. My father, a physician and WWII veteran (flight navigator in Europe) was also a painter who was passionate about his art. He and my mom were also great fans of the work of New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber, so I grew up surrounded by his books and art. My Dad showed me the work of classical artists and told me never to give up and never to compromise my vision. I also had the privilege of studying animation and character design with the late Joe Ranft, of Pixar Animation and Mike Giamio of the Disney Studios. I'm proud to have my cartoons featured on Houzz.com

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
The astronaut who mourned the space program
WHEN the first man on the moon died on Saturday, U.S. President Barack Obama tweeted: "Neil Armstrong was a hero not just of his time, but of all time." Armstrong's final comment on Obama, on the other hand, was that the president's policy on manned space flight was "devastating," and condemned the U.S. to "a long downhill slide to mediocrity."
That was two years ago, when three Americans who had walked on the moon, Neil Armstrong, James Lovell, commander of Apollo 13, and Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17, published an open letter to Obama pointing out his new space policy effectively ended American participation in the human exploration of deep space.
Armstrong was famously reluctant to give media interviews. It took something as hugely short-sighted as Obama's cancellation of the Constellation program in 2010 to make him speak out in public. But when he did, he certainly did not mince his words.
"We will have wasted our current $10-billion-plus investment in Constellation," he said, "and equally importantly, we will have lost the many years required to recreate the equivalent of what we will have discarded. For the United States... to be without carriage to low Earth orbit and with no human exploration capability to go beyond Earth orbit... destines our nation to become one of second- or even third-rate stature."
If NASA (the National Aviation and Space Administration) wants to put an American into space now, it has to buy passage on a Russian rocket, which is more than $50 million per seat. By 2015, the Chinese will probably offer an alternative service (which may bring the price down), and before long India may be in the business as well. But the U.S. won't.
There is likely to be a gap of between five and 10 years between the retirement of the space shuttle fleet last year and the first new American vehicles capable of putting a human being into space. Even then it will only be into low Earth orbit: None of the commercial vehicles now being developed will be able to do what the Saturn rockets did 41 years ago when they sent Armstrong and his colleagues to the moon.
Armstrong was a former military officer who would never directly call the president of the U.S. a liar or a fool, but his words left little doubt about what he really thought: "The availability of a commercial transport to orbit as envisioned in the president's proposal cannot be predicted with any certainty, but is likely to take substantially longer and be more expensive than we would hope." In other words, don't hold your breath.
This is not a global defeat for manned exploration of the solar system. The Russians are talking seriously about building a permanent base on the moon, and all the major Asian contenders are working on heavy-lift rockets that would enable them to go beyond Earth orbit. It's just an American loss of will, shared equally by Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"I know China is headed to the moon," Romney told a town hall audience in Michigan in February. "They're planning on going to the moon, and some people say, 'Oh, we've got to get to the moon, we've got to get there in a hurry to prove we can get there before China.' It's like, guys, we were there a long time ago, all right? And when you get there would you bring back some of the stuff we left?" Arrogant, complacent and wrong.
Americans went to the moon a long time ago, but the point is they can't get there now, and won't be able to for a long time to come. Which is why, in an interview 15 years ago, Armstrong told BBC science correspondent Pallab Ghosh: "The dream remains. The reality has faded a bit, but it will come back, in time."
It will, but probably not in the U.S.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 10-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis was recovering from a transplant of adult lungs after a judge's ruling expanded her options for lifesaving surgery.
Sarah Murnaghan underwent a six-hour surgery Wednesday at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, a procedure her aunt said resulted because of the larger list of available organs.
"It was a direct result of the ruling that allowed her to be put on the adult list," Sharon Ruddock said after her niece's surgery was completed successfully. "It was not pediatric lungs. She would have never gotten these lungs otherwise."
She said the donor lungs came through "normal channels" and not through the public appeals the family made in its bid to find a compatible donor. No other details about the donor lungs are known.
The Murnaghan family's quest to qualify their daughter for an organ transplant spurred public debate over how donor organs are allocated.
Her family and the family of another cystic fibrosis patient at the same hospital challenged a lung transplant policy that creates a separate waiting list for children under 12. The national transplant network says the under-12 policy was intended to increase access by giving children priority to donors of similar age and size but that children could also be offered donor adult lungs after teens and adults on the waiting list had been considered.
The families argued that pediatric lungs are rarely donated and asked for their children to be put on the adult waiting list, too.
Sarah's health was fading when U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson in Philadelphia ruled June 5 that Sarah and 11-year-old Javier Acosta of New York City should be eligible for adult lungs.
Critics warned there could be a downside to having judges intervene in the organ transplant system's allocation policy. Lung transplants are difficult procedures and some say child patients tend to have more trouble with them than adults. Complications from transplants can include rejection of the new lung and infection.
Ruddock said the family was optimistic about Sarah's recovery.
"If everything goes perfectly, she could be out in a couple of weeks, running down the hall," Ruddock said. "It could take a couple of months, it could take three weeks."
The Murnaghan family noted that Sarah's successful surgery was the result of another family's loss:

"A new level for Kresley Cole"
Fans of Kresley Cole already know she is incredibly talented at spinning a tale, and is very good at paranormal romance and "bodice ripper" fiction. I think writing for a YA audience has truly unleashed her greatest talents. It is not just he lack of endless sex scenes, which, to be fair, she works well into her adult fiction, but which occasionally trump ( or at least direct) the story, that has made this a superior work. In this story she has focused her powers of plot, or weaving an amazing story, of real character development, of creating tension, mystery, motivations for her characters and their missions beyond finding some ultimate mate, as much of her ( and most paranormal romance adult fiction) focuses on. And wow, unleashing that is has truly set free her creativity and cleverness and ability to capture her audience in an adventure that truly will captivate.
I am such a sucker for apocalyptic stories, but this is so much more than that - and the world built is one that (though obviously incredibly fictional) somehow draws the reader in as plausible... Amazing stuff. It is a bit dark at times, but overall, that element makes sense and doesn't overwhelm the story at all, and fits in perfectly... Just give it some time. The mood of this book is incredible and the reader will feel deeply attached to all the main characters and their plight.
Of course, there is a hefty dose of romance, and having read her adult fiction, I have to say this is the very best developed relationship of all her work, the characters and their relationship are the most compelling, with little "love at first site, irresistible draw to each other" stuff going on, and rather an incredibly complex set of emotions and meaningful interactions, and a strong background in place, and a very well grounded, well developed, and real basis for deep caring and attraction and love... And the obstacles thrown in their path only strengthen the bond, and never feel like conveniences which will ultimately make the inevitable bedding in the next chapter seem more meaningful... This is on a new level.
So many other have already sung the praises of this book... I will only second all of that and interject that I believe Kresley Cole, who, though she has always been a very interesting and talented writer, has really found her niche here and that this is her best work, and I hope she will continue this path.
The narrators do a great job too!

Sellafield in nuclear waste guilty plea
Last updated at 23:16, Thursday, 07 February 2013
Nuclear firm Sellafield has pleaded guilty to sending several bags of radioactive waste to the wrong facility, according to the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
The company admitted sending four bags of mixed general waste to a landfill site in Workington.
The bags, which contained waste such as plastic, tissues, clothing, should have been sent to a specialist facility in Cumbria.
Sellafield Limited said the error was caused by a new monitor which had passed the bags as "general" waste making them exempt from strict disposal controls.
All of the original four bags were retrieved from the landfill and returned for correct disposal.
Ian Parker, nuclear regulation manager for the Environment Agency, said: "Our overriding aim in regulating the nuclear industry is to protect people and the environment from the release of radioactive wastes into the environment.
"We have carried out a thorough investigation in partnership with the Office for Nuclear Regulation and have already required Sellafield Ltd to take action to ensure this does not happen again.
"This work of decommissioning and clean-up of the site is a national priority and we will continue to work with Sellafield Ltd, fellow regulators and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority to ensure that, in meeting this challenge, Sellafield Ltd maintains high standards of environmental performance to protect people and the environment."
Monitoring carried out by the Environment Agency and Sellafield Limited have since confirmed that there was no contamination left at the site or on the landfill equipment.
Sentencing will take place at Carlisle Crown Court on March 8.

Sep 7, 2011This is a bittersweet review because on some levels this game succeeds like no other, but it also fails at some pretty crucial points. The PvEThis is a bittersweet review because on some levels this game succeeds like no other, but it also fails at some pretty crucial points. The PvE campaign was the most fun I've had in gaming probably since Halo. This game is hands down the best combat I've played. The controls are responsive, the transition from melee to ranged is flawless and the enemies are plentiful, deadly and gloriously fun to kill. There is an attention to detail to the combat in this game rarely seen anywhere. Explosions will make your ears ring, the camera slows down for executions so you can see all the action in its furious bloody glory, enemies taunt you, weapons sound deadly, it all looks fantastic and it's fast paced. Quite simply, best combat ever and it looks spectacular. But, it can't all be good. The campaign is an old school hallway shooter, linear with no freedom or variety. You constantly pass places which prevent you from going backwards and it's a one way trip to the end. Hallway shooters are dated and overly simple for todays gaming market. The story is likewise pedestrian and has already been told if you ever played any other Warhammer game. Xenos are attacking some planet, gonna steal the big guns, big tough Space Marines stomp everyone into paste, the end. It doesn't help the story's case when the game ends with the worst boss fight ever either. The dev team either forgot they released this on PC, or they didn't care but doing it with a mouse and keyboard is just dumb. The kicker for the whole thing is the PvE part will only last you 10 hours max, even looking into every nook and crannie (of which there aren't many). $50 for 10 hours is a bit steep, but wait, there's multiplayer. Well, kinda....currently there are issues with MP where the matchmaking system doesn't always work and it forces microphones on by default and won't allow push to talk. So you end up with a game full of open microphones that you can't set to off (there is a quick window where you can mute everyone individually if you catch it, but there are no settings for voice in game, NONE). Also there are only two game types, hold an area and death match...that's it. In a month they are supposed to release a multiplayer vs. PvE survival mode, but in reality no one will be playing this game in a month so you'll never find a game. So when it's all said and done, despite it being a lot of fun fighting orks and chaos marines, I'm wondering where the other half of the game I paid for is.… Full Review »

The combat system with the range system works as well as I would hope, and there was enough diversity in the weapons that it kept me interested. It gets pretty overwhelming at times with the onslaught of enemies on you, and gets pretty challenging. It is really satisfying when you get the hang of the stunning and destroying the enemy to gain health. I haven't played the Multi-player yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be pretty awesome! I like this type hack and slash game, and it's a good break from a stressful week! I recommend it.… Full Review »

State actions were fundamental for the 2008/9 crisis, but this does not mean that appart from a strong central bank, the state should also be heavily present in all economic activities of a country.
Mrs. Dilma is distorting ideas, as Mr. Lula has done the last 8 years.
Brazilians who lived long enough know that the old "bras" [old state company's which predominated brazilian infrastructure] were inefficent, costly, full of lazy people and filled with corruption, with their directors elected by political and military conveniences.
A big part of the external debt which Brazil had to cope in the 70's+80's came from flood's of money on overpriced investments of these company's.
Diminishing the size of state in Brazil was the right move, since it was too big before. The last 8 years, we went the wrong way again, and brazilians should understand that big state [in Brazil] means more taxes to pay along your working life, and less money left when you retire. Maybe in Brazil if public establishment had no stability, salaries and position were paid through perfomance, big state company's could be a better option than private competition since the final objective could be to make the people of the country richer instead of the private business shareholders, but then we would be talking about honesty+inteligence+government all together which I think it is very difficult to happen [at least in Brazil].
@Philip Thomas and @D Brazilian, thank you both for addressing my comment. D Brazilian, yes, I saw that they quoted Cardoso. Still, notice that they did so in a way that they endorse Cardoso's inaccurate opinion that Brazil faces this false dilemma.
Phillip, certainly opposing categorizations are important analytical tools; however, notice that the article does not use it as an analytical tool, but as definitive, boolean-like (as you defined well) choices for a country. The conclusion of the article is: "The debate is over whether Brazil should choose between A and Z". This, indeed, ignores that the country has the whole alphabet in the menu. In fact, notice that the wording chosen to define A and Z are such that it bias the reader to approve the "competitive, liberal capitalism".
That's either poor or misleading (I'm avoiding to use the word dishonest) journalism.
Btw, it makes you no good trying to hector people in order to make your point. As @Dacal said, a civilized debate is welcome. It doesn't make you look bold and smart. Quite the opposite, an impolite behavior denotes emotional immaturity, if not intellectual limitation
Kind regards,
Believe me: if given the choice, Brazil will choose crooked state capitalism. It always does.
I think the economist underestimates the flexibility of human economic relationships. Having state-owned telephone businesses won't destroy the private market, but it will create a customer-oriented service out there to compete with traditional services. It is true that private enterprise is efficient, but that does not also mean that public enterprise is necessarily inefficient. It also therefore underestimates organizational and technological shifts on the part of the human population; government, with electronic centralization, has become (at least potentially) far more efficient in the past 10-20 years.
Phillip Thomas:
Just some thoughts (given that a civilized discussion is always welcome):
1) The great depression was partly a result of the lack of a central regulatory system, already observed in the antitrust movements of the 1890´s. This was the first evidence of the problems derived from liberalism.
After the great depression Keynes did not help restore capitalism by quoting Adam Smith or David Ricardo.
2) Ideologically the entire LIBERAL DOCTRINE MAKES SENSE!!. Ofcourse, as any abstraction some axioms must be true; One of them is that every competitor must be in equal material conditions, at least at the starting point.
This was true in the early industrial United States as pointed by Max Webber. Unfortunately it was not true in Brasil (this was our fault; our burden from Portugal)
3) Since there was no such thing as "equality of condition" the liberal doctrine was used widely to gain advantage of markets and improve the wealth of already industrialized nations. Shoved by Aberdeen and Palmestron, all of the treaties of the XIX century destroyed any chance of developing a healthy national industrial environment in Brazil.
Ironically our industry thrived mostly during the great depression, this was when the foreign intervention did not stop us from growing. Some of the development of that time has given us the chance of competing in oil and gas technologies and in agribusiness
Unfortunately we cannot compete in the fields that we are the strongest because of a prudent protection made by the industrialized countries.
See the EU protection and the cotton issue with the United States...
It´s interesting that The Economist gives space and prestige only to FHC´s opinion, a political figure that nobody here cares anymore (not in politics and not in the Academic field) to hear, even so that Serra, the candidate of his Party don´t want him in his campaign...
There are many ecomists that share the liberal view and with more credibility...
Dan Lima is right about the meaning, but i think that he didn't see that was FHC who pointed it, not the newspaper.
FHC really mean it.
And bla-bla-bla is the socialist ideology being implanted in Brazil. This is really a democratic country, and brazilian people don't like socialism.
Talking about Socialism is just like a hobby in PT. They know that if they march to it, they will lose power.
About privatisations, the telecom company failed because the admins were amateur, and its failing now because of amateur regulators. My opinion is that Telecoms are too important to a country to be administred by a private sector with no competition, like it is in Brazil now, it stagnates growth.
Telebras can do it if the right professionals are put in the admin. And the right professional in the telecoms regulators.
And stop to protect Telefonica from competition for God sake.
@votassmngt: that the government should spend money trying to reduce distortions caused by historical priviledges is given, in my view. That it should be entering distorted markets and competing by decree is simply dumb. It will be inefficient, expensive, a way to give overpaid jobs to political partners and so on...
@Dacal: should I remind you that the XIX century american policies triggered the Great Depression? Protectionism is only good for politicians, and for a very brief time. The illusion of 'protecting' home industry only makes economies less efficient, distorts incentives for investments and promotes manufacturing bubbles
People, get the facts straigt before engaging ideological ridden arguments
So this is how it goes in the world. Politicians come in using socialist slogans and even use communist type terms for their party (PT / Workers Party). But in reality they all implement Keynes based Capitalist systems. In South America alone, the best example was Colombia where Uribe first campaigned as a "leftist" liberal but once in power implemented very much right-wing capitalist policies. Lula is the next great example. Colombia and Brazil are two economic stars in South America.
Yep fool the majority with "leftists socialism" and then implement good governance with fiscal discipline. I sense that Ms Roussef is playing her part in the sequence of events. Brazil's market based economy has grown so powerful, she would be suicidal to try go the Venezuela route and aim to become like Cuba.
I guess I have just repeated hmises words….
Comparing Brazil with other latin countries such as France or Italy it is hardly surprising that the govt loves to control the economy.
Many of the privatizations in Brazil 10 - 15 yrs ago were probably more driven by the urgent need to please the international finance community rather than by own belief. Now that Brazil has become an investors' darling and features a trade surplus, the rules of the game appear to have changed.
As for private vs. state owned economy it is often overlooked that private is better for the consumer only if there is sufficient competition, as it happened in the telecom market for urban areas.
In election years the competing parties and candidates typically try to look more different from each other than they really are. For a party that has been in power with several coalition partners for 8 years it is rather unlikely that they will or could drastically change course AND stay in power because they will still need politically moderate partners to form a majority.
"Brazil should choose between a 'bureaucratic capitalism in which the state orders and resolves things' or a 'competitive, liberal capitalism'".
As if there were only this two models of market economy. What a poor vision... This magazine ignores all the varieties of capitalism that are neither "bureaucratic" nor "competitive, liberal". Examples of something in-between abounds at Northern Europe and South-East Asia. Wise decision not renewing my subscription...
One should wonder why this unknown woman was chosen to continue President Lula's path. The fact: all other historical PT leaders are either in jail or banned from politics for corruption, beginning with Jose Dirceu, whom Dilma replaced in the Ministry. Also, the PT is scaring everyone that if the party loses the election this year, the "right" will be back in power. Something outrageously erroneous, but installed in the Brazilian and foreign media.
To many people looking at us with greedy eyes...
We should have done our job back in the XIX century and secured a true industrial growth as seen in the United States after they sent liberalism to hell and protected their markets.
Now the only thing left for us is a well developed diplomacy and the hope that the major super powers will occupy themselves with their own problems back in the middle east.
Nice article.
It really shows the way the things are slowly happening in Brazil. PT (Workers? Party) have done a great job in leading the country to the Castro´s way of life. They have not done so much? Well, this is a difficult task.
Lula is getting the history pages as an obstacle between the past that was being abandoned after FHC and the future of the socialism, which means, the worst of the times.
The greatest achievement of his govt is the fact that he did not changed the monetary policy. He did nothing and very well done. And that's it. The rest is just bla-bla-bla (or rethoric, like the article says).
Brazil is still waiting for the reforms PT promised in 2002, fooling a nation just to get the power.
And now we see this woman, who believed so much in Cuba that became a criminal to implant the comunism here, defending a stronger presence of the state in the brazilian life.
After one thousand scandals envolving the govt, Dilma Roussef, PT, Lula's closest friends and a great part of the press, what should we expect from it all if she wins.
People today get fooled by numbers and don't see what is really coming. Those who have just a small notion of the brazilian economy know very well that the good news come from the private sector: commodities price becoming a GDP surplus, new technologies, courage to start something, stability of the real (thanx to Itamar Franco), etc, these things push the economy ahead.
Lula and his socialists push it back, but just slowly, otherwise they fall.
I share with the point of view that Brazilian government should invest on unprofitable sectors of the local economy. As private firms do not show interest in these areas and it is clear that there has been lack of new investment, it is necessary that public sector keep providing money and time in order to solve part of the problem.

China and U.S. Edge Closer in Energy Talks SEATTLE - Itron supplies technology to manage energy use to thousands of utility companies around the world. In China, where improving energy efficiency over the next decade is critical, it's just getting started. Officials from the United States and China hope that marrying such high-tech solutions with pressing energy needs will help the two countries solve environmental problems while benefiting both economies. China's energy planners got a firsthand look at the technology last weekend during a visit to Itron's headquarters near Spokane, Wash. It was part of an effort to showcase the Northwest's innovations as government officials from both countries met in Washington state to discuss collaboration on energy and the environment. Together the two countries use half of the world's energy, consuming a third of its oil and more than half of its coal. China is on track to surpass the United States this year as the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, and some experts say it already has. "If half the world can work together and say, let's both try to clean this thing up, then you create a situation where the rest of the world can say yes," said Stanley Barer, co-chairman of a private-sector coalition that hosted the visiting Chinese energy officials in Seattle over the weekend. While recent bilateral negotiations have been stuck on thorny issues such as the value of the Chinese currency, this time the two sides found more common ground, said Sen. Maria Cantwell, who participated in the government talks. "I thought it was a great start," she said "There was a lot of enthusiasm for the task at hand. This was about getting to the specifics of how our governments might work toward reducing CO2." The talks on energy, spun off from the regular meetings on economic issues known as the U.S. China Strategic Economic Dialogue, included officials from the U.S. Treasury, Commerce, Energy and State Departments and the Environmental Protection Agency. They met privately in Gig Harbor, Wash., with Chinese representatives from the National Development and Reform Commission; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Science and Technology; State Environment Protection Administration; and the Ministry of Finance. They chose Gig Harbor as a quiet place away from the spotlight, a spokeswoman from Cantwell's office said. The officials also attended a reception at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. Separately, the University of Washington and a private business group each signed agreements with China's Energy Research Institute, a government think tank. "There was a real meeting of the minds," said Barer, chairman emeritus of shipping company Saltchuk Resources. The business group agreed to form the U.S.-China Clean Energy Forum, committing to meetings two or three times per year in Seattle and Beijing for the next several years. American members include former U.S. Trade Representatives Carla Hills and Mickey Kantor. The group said it will identify and implement projects in clean energy and alternative fuels and recommend solutions to the two governments to address trade, legal and financial barriers. One of the key legal questions is how to protect the intellectual property of technology companies like Itron. The company has begun to sell software to utilities in China, and it manufactures natural-gas meters at a factory in Chongqing. Its most cutting- edge products are advanced metering systems that take precise measurements of energy use and deliver data back to utilities. Two-way systems can send signals to customers or to smart appliances to cut consumption at times when the energy supply is constrained. In measuring water use, its technology can detect leaks under the street using acoustics. Itron sees opportunities in China's plan to boost its energy efficiency, said marketing director Tim Wolf. But concerns over intellectual-property rights have made Itron cautious about the China market. "Senator Cantwell and everyone made it clear that IP rights are an important concern as we go forward," Wolf said. "Working directly with a government-sanctioned group in China mitigates those concerns to some extent." The UW signed an agreement with the Energy Research Institute "to begin to collaborate on areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental protection by looking at possibilities for joint research and joint training programs," said Phyllis M. Wise, UW provost and executive vice president. The effort will start with meetings and workshops between UW faculty and researchers and their counterparts at the Chinese institute, eventually leading to joint studies and joint training programs, she said. At the national level, the U.S., China energy talks will begin to address intellectual property, export regulations and financing when they resume in China later this spring, a U.S. Treasury Department spokeswoman said. Meanwhile, Cantwell heads to China next week for three days, to speak at an American Chamber of Commerce conference in Beijing and meet with Chinese government leaders on energy issues.
