PORTLAND The man killed inside a Southeast Portland home on Christmas Eve has been identified as Terry Lee Rolin, police said. The Oregon Medical Examiner performed the autopsy on Christmas and said Rolin died of a gunshot wound.
Around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday police responded to reports a domestic disturbance and gunshots in the 3700 block of Southeast 67th Avenue.
Police arrived to find one man suffering from critical injuries. Emergency responders tried to assist Rolin but the 61-year-old died on the scene, police said.
Homicide detectives were called to the location to investigate. The investigation continues, but they believe they have identified everyone involved and they say there is no danger to the public.
Officers spoke with the victim's family members who say there was some sort of disturbance just before the shooting, but they don't know what the fight was about.
I'm very sad, very sad to hear that, added neighbor Elaine Badger.

One-off, handmade BMW Zagato Coupé unveiled at Villa d'Este
By Vincent Rice
July 4, 2012
The Villa d'Este on the shores of Lake Como in Italy is a most beautiful and exclusive place. Each year it hosts the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este to celebrate the skills and craftsmanship of the motor industry's best "carrozzeria" - coachbuilders in English - and a mouth-watering display of classic handmade motor cars is the result. BMW regularly sponsors the event and shows off a vintage car from its collection. This year, however, they pulled off something completely unexpected, a spectacular brand new, one-off, handmade vehicle made in collaboration with Milan's Zagato workshop.
It's quite unusual for a large volume car manufacturer to indulge in this sort of "vanity" project. Indeed, 1978 was the last time BMW worked with an Italian outside design house (the M1 supercar).
As can be deduced from the pictures, the base chassis comes from the BMW Z4 Coupé, but the body is completely new and hand-crafted. As we saw with the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, there are a number of design features that the Italian design house likes to use as its signature.
These include the bonnet vents and side strakes, the "double-bubble" roof line (originally so that helmets could be worn when racing), the way the rear glass and side glass "swap-over" at the C-pillar, the muscular but sharpened rear haunches, and finally, the cut-off "Kamm" tail - based on research from the 60s that shows it to be an effective reducer of drag. On the BMW Zagato the rear panel that incorporates the light clusters is all glass and can be seen through from the cockpit, evoking Lamborghinis of the 70's.
The front fascia is unmistakably BMW, yet a beautifully executed aggressive interpretation of the present in-house style. A nice touch is that the grill is made from little repeating Z's. In fact the whole design skilfully synthesizes both BMW and Zagato design language elements and the car looks very coherent and "production ready." It's also fully functional, the classic straight-six motor producing a tested 400 bhp and the interior achieving the high standard one would expect.
There is absolutely no indication that the vehicle is ever intended for production and it seems unlikely that more than one will ever be made. Perhaps we should just be thankful that BMW seems to have got its design "mojo" back and is confident enough to indulge in these cross-border design exercises from time to time. To our eyes, it's really a very good looking vehicle - you can make up your own mind by clicking through to the image gallery.
OMG bring back Chris Bangle pleaseBill Bennett
yeah Bangles creations were stunning compared to this. Even if you squint the proportions are all wrong. I went through all the photos thinking it might just be an angle thing, but this thing doesn't look good from any angle!Facebook User
So it was Chris Bangle who was responsible for converting the refined German look of the BMW into the ugly things they are today? I think this one is almost beautiful but not quite there yet.jonoxn
REALLY? I thought this is one of the best looking cars I've seen in a long time! I guess personal taste is an almost undefinable thing? :-)mrhuckfin
Meh...reminds me too much of a Viper. Don't love it, don't hate it. It doesn't inspire me.VoiceofReason
It looks like the Dodge Viper SRT 10 in most exterior lines, combined with Alfa Romeo Spider stile...Iosif Olimpiu
You guys are crazy. I think this is the best looking BMW I've seen in a while. That is pure European Muscle right there. Yes, it does have a lot of Viper in it, but it also has a lot of BMW in it. Just BeautifulWACO
Dodge Viper? Seriously? Aside from having 2 doors and 4 wheels, these car designs couldn't be more different.EJacob Cornelius

WASCO -- Terrance Grinner might be much-less heralded than fellow Wasco running back Isaiah Sharp.
But as Grinner proved on Friday night against Golden Valley, he's right there with his ultra-talented teammate when it comes to making big plays and getting the ball into the end zone.
Grinner, a 5-foot-9, 180-pound senior, rushed for 253 yards and three touchdowns plus had an interception in leading the Tigers to an easy 48-6 victory over the visiting Bulldogs.
"Our linemen played really well and I just broke it," Grinner said. "I just ran hard...I watched some highlights earlier of (Kansas City Chiefs running back) Jamaal Charles and I felt like him so I just burst out and scored three touchdowns."
Sharp also played a big role in the win, carrying the ball 13 times for 223 yards and scoring three touchdowns, two rushing and one receiving.
Grinner, who did all of his damage on just 11 carries, quickly staked the Tigers to a 14-0 lead with early first-quarter touchdown runs of 79 and 14 yards. He added an 89-yard scoring jaunt with 1:40 remaining in the first half, extending Wasco's advantage to 21-0.
The Tigers led 28-0 at halftime after Sharp broke free for an 88-yard TD just 35 seconds later, but they easily could have been up by much more. Wasco was stymied by 14 penalties for 124 yards and had one turnover prior to intermission.
The Tigers finished with 19 penalties for 159 yards
"I'm very pleased with the win," Wasco coach Rusvel Prado said. "I'm proud of the boys. They played hard. We got a ton of stuff to work on but I'm happy with their effort. They played for four quarters. I'm extremely happy with that."
Despite all of the flags, Wasco put the game out of reach with a pair of Sharp touchdowns and a 17-yards scamper into the end zone by quarterback Austin Sutton.
"We knew they were good when they're powerful and we don't see the double-wing (much)," Golden Valley coach Erich Smith said. "Not only that, but we expedited the situation with us turning the ball the wrong way on offense and just not being ready to play tonight."
Wasco out gained the Bulldogs 226-1 in the first quarter and 482-53 during the opening half.
The final yardage difference was 608-113, with most of Golden Valley's gains coming late in the game against Wasco's reserves.
"They controlled the line of scrimmage," Smith said. "They'll blow you back coming off the ball both offensively and defensively."

TORONTO, April 18, 2007 /PRNewswire/ - Viventia Biotech Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company advancing a portfolio of novel antibody products focused on cancer, today announced results of in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies conducted to evaluate the potential for combining its phase III anti-cancer antibody therapeutic, Proxinium(TM), with first-line standard of care therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head & neck (SCCHN). The data were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which runs from April 14-18, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.
Viventia's lead product, Proxinium(TM), is being developed to treat late stage, locally advanced head and neck cancer and is currently enrolling patients in its TARGET trial, a pivotal Phase III global clinical trial that is expected to complete accrual by the end of 2007. Proxinium(TM) targets the cancer antigen EpCAM.
The combination of Proxinium(TM) with cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, and docetaxel resulted in a significant additive cytotoxic effect (p < 0.05) as compared to the chemotherapeutic agents administered alone. The sequence of drug administration did not influence the outcome. The combination of Proxinium(TM) with radiotherapy led to a synergistic cytotoxic effect when Proxinium(TM) was administered after radiotherapy or additive effects when Proxinium(TM) was administered before or at the same time as radiotherapy.
"The data from these studies clearly demonstrate the additive
cytotoxic effect of Proxinium(TM) when used either in combination
with chemotherapeutic agents or with radiation therapy," said Dr.
Barry Wenig, Head of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Cancer at
Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Centre. "These data offer exciting

Patricia Cronin: 'Harriet Hosmer, Lost and Found'
- Dates: June 5, 2009 through January 24, 2010
- Collections: Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art
... more
February 28, 2009: A group of twenty-eight watercolors by Brooklyn-based conceptual artist Patricia Cronin, inspired by the work of nineteenth-century sculptor Harriet Hosmer (1830-1908), will be on view in the Herstory Gallery of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, June 5, 2009, through January 24, 2010. The Herstory Gallery is dedicated to exhibitions that elaborate on the 1,038 women who are named in Judy Chicago's iconic feminist artwork The Dinner Party, installed in the adjacent space. Harriet Hosmer's name appears on the Heritage Floor, near the place setting for Georgia O'Keeffe.
Cronin, who manipulates traditional art historical forms to address issues of sexuality, gender, and class, is the author of the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the nineteenth-century sculptor, who defied social convention and attained a degree of notoriety for her often sensuous sculptures of women. In the catalogue raisonné, each of Hosmer's works is illustrated by a Cronin watercolor, selections of which comprise the exhibition.
Harriet Hosmer's works, created in the neoclassical style, depict historical, mythological, and literary figures, among them Zenobia, Medusa, and Puck. In her research for the catalogue raisonné, Patricia Cronin unearthed written references to several Hosmer sculptures that do not appear to have ever been photographed. To represent these works, Cronin has made watercolors of what she calls "ghosts," formless and ethereal images of sculptures that in all likelihood still exist, but have been lost to art history, several of which are also included in the presentation.
The fact that Harriet Hosmer has been all but forgotten, save by art historians, formed the inspiration for Patricia Cronin's investigation into her life and work and for writing the catalogue raisonné. Cronin views this project as not only the re-evaluation of the work of another artist, but as a meditation on her own fate in the future of art history.
Harriet Hosmer was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, and completed her education in Lenox, followed by study in anatomy at the St. Louis Medical College. Her first known work was a smaller version of Canova's Napoleon, followed by a sculpture of an idealized head that was exhibited in Boston in 1852. That year she went to Rome with her father and her friend the actress Charlotte Cushman, where Hosmer studied with English sculptor John Gibson. She lived and worked in Italy for many years among other American expatriates, including George Eliot, George Sands, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, for whom she served as the model for Hilda in his The Marble Faun. Her reputation was established in the United States with the creation of a lively statue of Puck, which eventually sold dozens of replicas including one to the Prince of Wales, followed by numerous other sculptures, among them the reclining statue of Beatrice Cenci that was commissioned for the St. Louis Mercantile Library, as well as the monumental statue of Zenobia on which she worked for nearly two years.
Working in painting, sculpture, installation, and watercolor, Patricia Cronin's critically acclaimed creations have been exhibited extensively, including solo exhibitions at the American Academy in Rome, as well as at Deitch Projects, White Columns, and Brent Sikkema Gallery in New York. She has been included in group exhibitions at such institutions as the Neuberger Museum, the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati, and the Tang Teaching Museum. Cronin is the recipient of awards from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Rome Prize, among others. She is Associate Professor of Art at Brooklyn College.
Patricia Cronin: Harriet Hosmer, Lost and Found has been organized by Lauren Ross, Interim Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.

As vendors make their pitches, monitors track the volume of calls and sales. Part of the marketing power of QVC is its ability to change course -- live, on the air -- to reflect the response of viewers to a particular product.
"The way I talk about it is, every time we present a product on air, America votes," said Scott Crossin, director of broadcast operations. "We have instant visibility to how our customers respond in real time."
Lisa Robertson, an overnight program host, said the pressure of immediate sales results could contribute to stage fright for some vendors. "In about four minutes you are going to know if you're working or not, and your sell is going to be done anywhere between six and 12 minutes," she said. "That's a lot of pressure."
Such pressure, with the added ingredient of live television, has made for some infamous moments through the years. Archival clips from the QVC channel of vendors falling off ladders or fainting have become underground hits on YouTube.
"I had one poor gentleman who came on the set, I introduced him, he said, 'Hello' -- that was the last word he said," Robertson said. "He completely froze."
John Kenedy took the stage to sell a product called Tanda Clear, which promises to banish acne using a special blue light. It was his first-ever outing as a QVC vendor.
"It went well," Kenedy said afterward. "I was very nervous. I thought I was going to lose my voice, but you get through it. The host is fabulous."
As a QVC host, Robertson is something of a cross between a TV anchor, a salesperson and an entertainer. A lot of her job, she said, is knowing the products she's helping to sell.
"You can't say you own it if you don't, you can't say you're going to buy it if you aren't, you can't say you've used it if you haven't, you can't say you love it if you don't," Robertson said. "You have to be clear."
Not everyone may be familiar with Lisa Robertson, but does she ever have fans. Many QVC viewers are fiercely loyal and seem borderline obsessed with the network, the cult of QVC.
"I love QVC; I'm a QVC queen," said Charmaine Greene, who was shopping at the QVC outlet adjacent to the studio. "We do a lot of ordering."
Wired magazine once described shop-at-home viewers as "trailer-park housewives frantically phoning for another ceramic clown." But don't tell that to Pam Henriquez and Linda Weaver, who drove an hour and a half to shop at the outlet mall.
"It's always a treat for us to come down and spend the day down here, because we go to the outlet and then we go to our favorite restaurant right up the road, and then we go to the studio and buy more," said Henriquez, adding that she buys something from the network every week.
It's not just about the shopping, though, she said. "It's entertainment. I learn a lot."
Greene said, "I try to watch daily just to get my QVC fix, this is what I call it. I turn the TV on at least a few times a day just to see what they are selling. And if, then if it's something that I am interested in, I just watch."
Back in the studio, the women from NuFace -- Catalano and her colleague, Carol Cole -- were nervous. It was 2 a.m., and this was their product's big debut, make-or-break time. Before the NuFace vendors went on air, Robertson offered pointers.

carbonell, robert j.
Robert J. (Bob) Carbonell was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, C.A. on March 20, 1927 and died April 26th, 2013 in Miami, FL of complications from pneumonia. He is survived by his wife of nearly 63 years, Evelyn (Porges), of Coconut Grove, FL and New Canaan, CT and their five children and their spouses: Armando and Jean (Revell) of West Barnstable and Cambridge, MA; Robert and Patricia (Fairchild) of Chapel Hill, NC; Margaret Carbonell Smith and Greg Smith of Tualatin, OR; John and Cheryl (Bloom) of Norwalk, CT; and Juliet and Bo Marcus of New Canaan, CT. He was the cherished grandfather of 16 and great-grandfather of three, and had many nieces and nephews. Bob is also survived by two brothers, Ricardo and Rafael, and was pre-deceased by his brother Carlos and sister Marina Morales Erlich.
Bob Carbonell had a successful career as a corporate executive, but he was a scientist at heart. He received his doctorate in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of El Salvador. In 1949, he was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study food biochemistry at
Purdue University
. There he met his wife, Evelyn, who was a Speech and Hearing Teacher at Purdue. The two returned to San Salvador, where their first son was born and Bob developed a new method for the rapid curing of green coffee beans. This work led him to be recruited back to the U.S. to work in research and development for Standard Brands, which later became RJR Nabisco. As a food scientist, Bob worked on a variety of projects, including the development of cholesterol-free egg substitutes and the attempt to engineer a fat-free peanut. He was awarded patents for his work on instant pudding and a process for concentrating coffee and tea without losing flavor.
He rose from research to management, ultimately becoming Vice Chairman and Chief Administrative Officer of RJR Nabisco and CEO of Del Monte Corporation. Under his leadership, Nabisco dominated the "cookie wars" of the 1980s, using computerized production methods to ensure that customer favorites like Oreos and Ritz came out exactly the same every time. As Chairman of the American Trade Consortium, Bob traveled to Moscow with other corporate leaders to work with Gorbachev on opening the Soviet market to American products. He served on the boards of numerous industry and government organizations. Strongly committed to science education, he was President of the Board of Trustees of EARTH University in Costa Rica. In 1990, Purdue University's College of Agriculture awarded him an Honorary Doctorate, followed by its Outstanding Food Scientist Award in 2001. After retiring from RJR Nabisco and Del Monte, Carbonell served as President and CEO of Bionaire Inc., and later Tetley USA, before retiring completely in 2000.
Bob was an enthusiastic photographer and digital printer, and in retirement took special pleasure in photographing his family, flowers, and astronomical events, and producing holiday and birthday cards under his own imprint, El Supremo Studios. He particularly enjoyed gathering his large extended family during vacations in Florida and New England. He will be missed for his keen sense of humor and his generosity of spirit.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 8th, 2013, at Plymouth Congregational Church, Miami, Florida. Interment will take place in Connecticut. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made to

Kathleen Orr's curator insight, November 4, 2014 6:47 PM
This is a link to Hofstede's website where you can compare different countries and their ratings according to different dimensions. It's very interesting to look at different countries and compare them to each other. It's a very useful tool! Check out how the U.S. compares to other countries!
Julia Heisler's curator insight, May 1, 12:58 PM
This article depicts how the benefits of being bilingual are well known: the ability to understand new cultures, express yourself in different ways, as well as giving the brain a great cognitive workout. New research from Lancaster University now shows that those who can speak two or more languages can also see the world differently depending on the language they are using. Linguists there took a group of German and English speakers- some bilingual, other monolingual- and tested their reactions to certain images. The results were fascinating. They found that German speakers are more "holistic" in their approach to seeing and describing the world. English speakers focus far more on the action and very little on the goal of that action. This relates to international relations because it describes the languages of the world.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 8, 9:49 PM
It can. Deconstructing meaning is a complex process that involves more than univocal meanings.

Truman Scholarship
This scholarship provides up to $30,000 toward tuition, fees, books, room and board, and other approved expenses for graduate school or professional school in preparation for a career in public service. "Public service" here is quite broadly defined, and includes such diverse fields as biology, economics, and public health. See the website for more details. (http://www.truman.gov) An award is deferrable for up to four years. This scholarship is restricted to US citizens.
All recipients are required to work in public service for at least three of the seven years following completion of a Foundation-funded graduate degree. If a grantee fails to do this they would be obligated to repay any funds received (with interest). But here again "public" is broadly construed, and includes government at any level, public interest organizations, NGOs, public and private schools, and many other organizations.
In addition to the funds for graduate school, scholars also attend the Truman Scholars Leadership Week, where they meet and work with distinguished Truman alumni and others. Furthermore, they may attend the eight-week Summer Institute in Washington DC, which includes seminars, workshops, and meetings with policy makers. The Foundation will also arrange internships with government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
Candidates should have an extensive record of public and community service, have outstanding leadership potential and communication skills, and be committed to a career in public service. The application should trace a path that is authentic, and indicates passion for and depth of understanding of public service.
The process
Juniors who wish to apply for a Truman Scholarship should email an Intent to Apply Form to Michael Flynn (email@example.com) by December 1, 2014. (Electronic submissions are welcome.) When Professor Flynn receives your form, he will register you at the Truman website. You will then get an email message with login credentials. Once you get into the site, you can access the application.
You can fill out the application on-line and submit it to Professor Flynn. He can respond to what you have written, and send it back to you for revision if need be. There is no danger of you accidentally submitting a final version to the Truman Foundation, because only Professor Flynn can do that.
Three hard copies of the completed application are due to Karen Moldenhauer at the Dean of the College Office, Laird 131, no later than 5:00 pm on Thursday, January 8, 2015. Applicants should request the Registrar to send an electronic copy of their transcript to Professor Flynn before this date. Letters of recommendation are also due to Professor Flynn on this date. (Electronic submissions are welcome.) There should be three letters of recommendation, each addressing a slightly different aspect of the applicant's profile: Leadership Potential and Abilities, Commitment to a Career in Public Service, Intellect and Prospects for Continuing Academic Success. Referees do not need to be professors, but if you chose someone outside of academia it is recommended that you so inform Professor Flynn. (He'll contact the referee with some advice about such letters.)
On Friday, January 9th, Karen will distribute the applications to the local Truman interviewing committee. Professor Flynn will distribute electronic copies of the recommendation letters and the transcript. Everyone who has submitted a complete application will be interviewed. These will take place sometime during the week of January 12th. This process will result in the nomination of no more than four applicants to the Truman Foundation, which will be announced no later than three days after the last interview. Members of the committee will then work with the nominees to revise applications.
Nominees must complete their applications on-line no later than January 29th. Professor Flynn will write a letter of nomination. When all is ready, Professor Flynn will officially submit the application, which will include the nomination letter, recommendation letters and the transcript. This must be done no later than 5:00 pm central time on February 4, 2015.
Shortly thereafter, the Truman Finalist Selection Committee reviews all submitted applications and selects from those approximately 200 finalists. Regional Review Panels then interview each finalist and select the Truman Scholars. In most years, there will be one Truman Scholar from every state in the Union, plus a few additional "at large" selections.
Probably the most challenging part of the application is the Policy Proposal. Here's what the website says about that:
- Prepare a convincing Policy Proposal. You will have limited space to examine a significant policy issue or problem that is in your intended area of public service as described in Item 9. Present your proposal in the form of a memo to the government official who you feel has the most direct authority to resolve the issue (e.g., President, Cabinet Officer, Governor, Chair of a Legislative Committee). Use no more than 500 words.
- Your memo needs to define the problem, lay out your proposed solution, and identify major obstacles to the implementation of your solution. Provide statistical data to put the issue in context and to support your recommendations. Cite major sources. The proposal must be confined to the space provided. Any references or footnotes must be presented in the space available, but do not count against the 500 word limit.
The application will also ask you to briefly respond to some questions that together comprise your "personal statement". These include the following:
- Describe one specific example of your leadership.
- Describe a recent particularly satisfying public service activity.
- Describe the problem or needs of society you want to address when you enter public service.
The Truman website has a great deal of useful information and advice. Potential applicants are urged to read it carefully.

Viewing All
I purchased these sunglasses to use during my study abroad in Antarctica. The large frames did an excellent job cutting out the sun while giving maximum visibility. The soft rubbery ear pieces made these glasses comfortable to wear for hours on end. I liked their face-hugging frame because they did not slip down my nose or fall off. The interchangeable black/brown lenses allowed me to get optimal viewing in different lighting situations. All in the all, the polarizing quality was excellent and really took a load off my eyes from all the glare off the ice and sea. I wore over contacts, my eye prescription is always changing so this was a great investment as they will last me many years.

One Story at a Time…
Housing First
Ted Howard's efficiency apartment in Cleveland's Glenville Neighborhood has been a safe haven for him for nearly three years. Tidy and compact, he calls it a "blessing for this place to be here.
"Because of my addiction I couldn't get money to get an apartment," he said.
Ted lives in Liberty at St. Clair, a 72-unit apartment building on St. Clair Avenue. Liberty, a Housing First apartment building, is one of eight with more than 500 units around Cleveland.
Without housing, people struggle to keep or find a job, care for children and move out of poverty. Without housing, people have a hard time getting clean and sober.
The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland, in partnership with Enterprise Community Partners and the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Office of Homeless Services, brought together housing, service providers and foundations to create the Housing First Initiative.
The Initiative was created to address the challenge of chronic homelessness, and to develop a strategy for bringing Housing First to Cuyahoga County.
The shared goal is to develop 1,000 units of permanent supportive housing in Cuyahoga County.
"Housing First" is both an initiative and a philosophy that no matter what obstacles people face, ensuring them a home is paramount. Housing First combines permanent affordable housing with onsite supportive services such as education and job skills training, as well as substance abuse and mental health issues. It is a proven solution to end longterm homelessness for people like Ted.
Ted moved in and out of homelessness for years after becoming addicted to cocaine and losing his job. He stayed at the men's homeless shelter, and at other times would crash at a friend's place.
Now Ted takes the bus to vocational training and attends 12-step meetings in the community room of his building. "I'm on the right track."

Task Force Announces Statewide Plans to Prioritize Healthy Food Access in Ohio
Ohio is home to many communities with too few places to purchase healthy, affordable food. This food access crisis has put over 2 million residents, including more than 500,000 children, at risk for chronic disease and diet-related death. A new policy statement from the Ohio Healthy Food Financing Task Force states that local and state policymakers can take steps to remove barriers that are keeping healthy food retailers from operating in places where they are needed most. One of the key recommendations is establishing a statewide Healthy Food Financing Fund to overcome the most significant barrier to healthy food retail development in low-income areas: access to flexible financing. Read more about the task force and its recommendations.
One of the key recommendations is establishing a statewide Healthy Food Financing Fund to overcome the most significant barrier to healthy food retail development in low-income areas: access to flexible financing. An Ohio Healthy Food Financing Fund (HFFF) would provide one-time financing to help overcome the barriers associated with developing healthy food retail in underserved communities, such as the need for capital, real estate, and a wide range of related expenses. The program would enable vendors to open, renovate, or expand retail outlets that sell fresh fruits and vegetables.
About the Healthy Food Financing Task Force
Made up of a cross-section of nearly 50 leaders from the health, business, civic, government, grocery, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors including the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland, the Ohio Healthy Food Financing Task Force worked for a year alongside The Food Trust to identify policy recommendations to support healthy food retail development and expansion in areas in greatest need. The 2014 report, "Food for Every Child: The Need for Healthy Food Financing in Ohio" identified urban and rural areas across Ohio where healthy food retail development is needed most. Study findings are published at www.financefund.org/news-resources

Ravens backup QB Taylor ready for action
Tyrod Taylor is the forgotten quarterback at the Super Bowl.
Everyone knows the starters, of course, Baltimore's Joe Flacco and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick.
They even know about Alex Smith, who started for the 49ers until he was sidelined with a concussion in November and Kaepernick stepped in.
And Taylor? His resume can be summed up on the top half of an index card: Two years, no starts and 30 passes - 25 of them in the Ravens' meaningless regular-season finale against Cincinnati last month.
That's because Flacco has started every game during the past five seasons and never has missed a down because of injury or ineffectiveness.
Still, Taylor knows he's only one play away from getting into the Super Bowl, and for that reason he's practicing hard this week as Sunday's championship game draws near.
''There are so many situations throughout the league where the next guy is called in, so you can't look at how many straight games Joe has played without being injured,'' Taylor said. ''You never know what can happen at any second of the game. I have to be ready to take over if that happens.''
The 49ers are preparing for that situation, too. While Flacco is a traditional pocket passer, Taylor is just as likely to scoot downfield as throw the ball. He ran for 65 yards in that game against the Bengals, and at Virginia Tech he set a school record for rushing yards by a quarterback (2,196).
''Actually, we're working on (stopping) the pistol and option in case he gets in and in case they have him in certain packages,'' San Francisco defensive tackle Justin Smith said. ''We worked on what we do and how to stop him. I think we'll be prepared for him if he gets in.''
Taylor smiled when told that San Francisco was taking his skill set into account.
''It definitely adds a little extra to the game,'' he said. ''For them to be prepared shows me it's definitely something they have in the back of their minds. I played against (San Francisco) coach (Jim) Harbaugh my last game at Virginia Tech, so he knows what I'm capable of doing. My job this week is to prepare the defense and also to prepare myself so if I have to go into the game, I'm ready.''
That, essentially, is the job description of a backup quarterback - whether he was once a starter or has never been anything but a second-stringer.
''I don't know which situation is better or worse,'' Alex Smith said. ''We're just at different points in a career. What's this, his second year? He's been on a good team, obviously. He's there for a reason. Your job as a backup is to be ready to go. That's no different for him or I. That's our job.''
It is a role Taylor takes seriously. He isn't in the Big Easy this week to take a stroll on Bourbon Street or munch on beignets.
''You have to be ready to play,'' Taylor said. ''That's how you have to carry yourself throughout the week as far preparation. You have to be physically prepared and mentally prepared because you never know when the opportunity may come.''
For now, Taylor is fine with his role. The former sixth-round draft pick is playing on a winner, earning a decent paycheck and is appreciated by his teammates.
''He's a great quarterback, man,'' Ravens receiver Torrey Smith said. ''I think a lot of people underestimated him coming out of the draft. You think, how did he even fall this far? Obviously, it's tough for him because of Joe, but Tyrod can play. We're both from Virginia, and I've known him since high school. I'm happy he's on our team, because he can definitely do some damage. But he understands how it works. It's a business, and you have to wait your turn.''
The 24-year-old Taylor is willing to be patient.
''Of course I want to start, but my job is to continue to stay prepared,'' he said. ''When the opportunity does come or whatever playing time I get, I have to continue to showcase my talent because other eyes are looking. But right now, it's all about whatever it takes to win this game right here, this Super Bowl. So that's my job this week.''

I'm due in December and know my baby shower is next month. MIL is determined for it to be a surprise so idk exactly when/how much time I'd have but I was thinking of making my own thank yous and including a homemade Christmas ornament. I'm going to start now because they are expecting 50 people and it will keep me a little busy so I don't ruin the surprise (I'm the annoying person that HAS to solve the puzzle so I don't do well with people trying to surprise me)
I was thinking of making snowmen because we are having a boy aka our little snowman. I want to have a cute line or something explaining that connection but I'm at a loss. I figured with all the creativity on this board you ladies would be a good start for suggestions.
I think I'm going to make ones similar to this because they will lay flat enough to mail.

Steven Gerrard has told his Liverpool team-mates to "blank out" the row between Reds manager Rafael Benitez and the club's American owners.
The Spaniard has become embroiled in a face-off with Tom Hicks and George Gillett over their unwillingness to sanction transfer activity before they arrive on Merseyside for the clash with Manchester United on December 16.
And captain Gerrard has urged the players to "keep their focus" as they finalise preparations for Wednesday night's Champions League crunch clash against Porto at Anfield.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "We realise that there is stuff going on behind the scenes but as a player you have just got to blank that out.
"As players we get judged on results so it's vital that we don't get distracted from what is going on on the pitch and keep on winning.
"The match against Porto is crucial so we have to take our form into it and make sure we perform on the night."

Army and Rapid Action Force personnel walking past burning shops in the Jamalpur area of Ahmedabad on Friday. AP
The city witnessed large-scale arson as fire brigade staff went on a flash strike late on Thursday night after three of their personnel were beaten up and a fire brigade ambulance was set afire by a violent mob. The strike was called off late this afternoon and the firemen resumed duty to douse fires only after the new Police Commissioner assured protection to each of the fire tenders going to the disturbed areas.
An indefinite curfew has been clamped in the Kagdapith, Gaekwad Haveli, Dani Limda and Kalupur police station areas since this morning following incidents of bomb blasts, arson, stone-throwing and group clashes. Mob set fire to the Laati Bazar (timber market) on the Geeta Mandir road this afternoon causing great damage.
Police said there had been "innumerable incidents'' of bomb blasts in various parts of the walled city. At least one person was killed and dozens were injured. The police housing colony in Gaekwad Haveli was attacked by a mob which set fire to a police motorcycle and snatched a rifle. A police constable dragged out of his house, however, escaped.
Four persons were killed in police firing in Jamalpur and the Gaekwad haveli where one person was also stabbed to death. A 27-year old fruit trader passing through the Kalupur locality was burnt alive by a mob barely a few metres away from the Kalupur police station. The person going on a two-wheeler was thrown into a garbage dump and burnt.
While one person was stabbed to death near the Vasant-Rajab crossing in Kagdapith, another died of injuries sustained in a bomb blast in Raikhad. Police opened fire in the Raikhad, Jamalpur and Kagdapith areas repeatedly as violent mobs of rival communities regrouped and attacked each other. About 100 shops and cabins, two-wheelers and houses were set ablaze in different parts of the walled city which also witnessed a stabbing spree. Five persons sustained stab injuries while 30 were injured in stone-throwing.
In a late night reshuffle of the top police brass, Mr. Pande and almost his entire team of officials were shifted out of the city following a meeting between the Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, and his security advisor, the former Punjab police chief, K. P. S. Gill. Mr. Pande was succeeded by the Additional Director-General of Police (CID Crime), Mr Kaushik, who was also looking after the investigation into the Godhra train carnage, but has no experience of heading a police commissionerate. Both the Joint Police Commissioner, M. K. Tandon, and the Additional Commissioner, Keshav Kumar, who was brought to Ahmedabad a fortnight ago, were also transferred and their places would be taken over by two young officers, Satish Sharma and Satish Verma.
In an apparent attempt to ward off the criticism that police officials from the minority community have been marginalised, A.I. Sayeed, Joint Director, State Police Academy, was appointed the Security Advisor to the Chief Minister. Sayeed would hold this post as an additional charge.
The changes were announced immediately after the fire brigade went on a flash strike plunging the city into chaos even as arsonists had a field day. The firemen went on a strike after three of their personnel who had taken an ambulance to the Raipur Chakla to rescue the sons of two fire officers allegedly kidnapped by a mob and beaten up, faced the mob fury. The firemen were dragged out of the ambulance which was set afire and were beaten up. As the news reached the Danapith fire headquarters, the entire staff collected at Raipur and struck work. The strike was later called off.

Nice instrument the Garmin. Is the depth reading you are referring to the depth on the chartplotter map or is there a link to a seperate transducer. For depth you need a seperate transducer to take the reading so therefore a seprate display usually. Not sure if the new chartplotters show all the readings. If Garmin had been as good as it is now when I bought my C80 I would have proabbly bought it, but oit was not comparable 5 years ago IMHO.
Depth is important as you can read it and correspond to a map so for me it is the number one or first device. We have the Raymarine ST60 series depth, wind and speed log, autopilot seatalked into a Raymarine C-80chartplotter. Bet you could pick them up used.

Six units valued at Rs. 25 lakh each installed at AIIMS
The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences here has become the first hospital in Asia to bring home the "Tuebingen Unit" that is used for training surgeons in minimally invasive surgery.
Gifted to the Institute, six units valued at Rs. 25 lakh each, have been pressed into service and the first batch of 10 doctors selected from across the country have started training on them.
And giving these surgeons their first lesson on how to use the technology is world-renowned surgeon Prof. G.F. Buess from the University of Klinik of Tuebingen, Germany, who was in Delhi to attend the first AIIMS Surgical Week "International Conference -- CME-cum-Live Workshop".
Speaking about what the new technology brings along, Prof. Buess said: "The concept is simple. Surgeons all over the world learn surgery while on the job which means that patients are used to learn on. Our method helps to practice minimally invasive surgery using animal organs. The idea is that doctors should not learn on patients but learn first before operating on the patient. After the training what the surgeon gains is experience without any trials on patients. Also animal organs are collected from dead animals, so there is no cruelty involved. In short the surgery reduces the risk involved in surgery to patients."
Permanent feature
The unit is now a permanent feature at the Institute and will be used for training doctors from across the country.
"The Institute has started training its first batch with students from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir and Kolkata," said Prof. M.C. Misra of the Department of Surgical Disciplines.
He added: "The training unit is specially important when we are introducing new procedures and better technology in the field of surgery and comes in very useful to help the surgeon become prepared, and reduces the time required to carry out a procedure and thereby also the risk for the patient. Also, the learning period is greatly reduced helping surgeons to be more confident while carrying out a procedure. The units will be used to train doctors from across the country and our effort will be to reach as many doctors as we possibly can."
The Tuebingen Unit is built to give the surgeon the same texture and feel of the human body.
Also, animal organs similar to humans are used for surgery to give the surgeon a more real experience, added Dr. V.K. Bansal of the Department of Surgery at AIIMS. -Staff Reporter

Re: SVideo works fine, Component gives no video at all
And, I have no idea how to determine if it's a proper NTSC modeline. Those modelines I post were generated via the command:
gtf 720 480 60
I ran that command from a terminal that was in black and white because it was running off the component cable.
I also ran that command, on the same physical monitor, on X screens that were hooked up to a D-SUB cable as well as on an Xscreen that was hooked up to a DVI cable. All three gave the exact same modeline.
Maybe they were all the same because they were all run on the same physical monitor? Even though each time gtf was run, the monitor was using a different type of cable that was plugged into the monitor. One time it was DVI, another time it was D-SUB, the third time it was a Component cable.
I hope those last three paragraphs make sense.

With BJP's Narendra Modi-led NDA alliance getting majority in the Lok Sabha 2014 elections, celebrities like Rajinikanth, Shekhar Kapur and Shah Rukh Khan hailed people's verdict and hoped the new government will take India forward.
South superstar Rajinikanth, who met Modi in Chennai when the latter was touring Tamil Nadu in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, congratulated the future PM of the country. "Hearty congratulations dear Narendra Modi ji on your historic win. Best wishes," Rajinikanth posted on Twitter. Tamil superstar Dhanush, son-in-law of Rajinikanth, tweeted, "Change is here. Magic has happened."
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan said elections proved that change is the only constant. "What a solid mandate given by the people. It proves again that the only constant is change. Now to move forward with strong and active faith, India," Khan tweeted.
Celebrities including Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi, Shekhar Kapur, Asha Bhosle, Karan Johar, Dhanush also welcomed Modi with the hope for a "new India, opportunity and future".
"End of era of feudal politics. Dynastic politics. A new India. A new opportunity. A new future. Let it not go waste Narendra Modi congrats," Kapur tweeted.

"What a decisive victory for Modi and the BJP! The people of India have voted for change. Let the new Govt rule wisely and well," she said. Director Karan Johar called Modi's success the first blockbuster of the year. "BJP... the first major blockbuster of the year! Huge opening and no sign of a Monday drop," Johar joked.

KT Bites off more than She can Chew
Short version: I need to get a new painting done by the end of the month, any help on this would be awesome.
Long version: Back in September I agreed to do a small show at a cafe for March. Time flew by and a week ago it hit me I have absolutely nothing to show except a handful of stuff I did over twelve months ago and a rushed painting from October. The last few months I've realized I'm way too much of a beginner to have any business showing my stuff in public, but I can't bail on this now so I at least want something representative of my current skill level. Any help on this would be awesome.
I'm trying to keep the painting relatively simple. The lines are just a placeholder right now, as are the values on the blankets until I get some more reference for them. Still undecided if I'm going to put something in the top part of the painting, but at the moment I like the negative space.

I think youre right to keep it simple, but youve picked a highly complex thing to paint. biting off more than you can chew for an important thing like a show is a good way to ensure you fuck up. fail to plan and plan to fail, and all that. instead, small bites..
why not do some nice line drawings, collages, cartoons, photos or other type of work that is less reliant on painting for the cafe show?
maybe get some pieces of wood and laser cut cool designs onto them.. etc.
this might help

Yeah, you make a good point. All I have to show right now are these, and they have the same boring "object + plain background" theme going on. I wanted to have something that pops a bit more and was a bit more "artsy", haha. I suppose I could take a look through my sketches and see what I might be able to turn into a strong line drawing. I actually have until March 5th before I have to bring stuff in, there's quite a bit of time to screw up.
Thanks for sharing the website! There's some really neat stuff on there.

one other thing; huge brushes at first, then gradually work down to tiny details. important that.

Decided to try out VK's suggestion of a line drawing after seeing Adams Carvalho's art. Drew this sketch tonight and went over it in Photoshop so you guys could actually tell what it is. I know the lines aren't the best, particularly in the hair. It was too weird in my original sketch, so I played around with it in photoshop until I got something that (I think) kind of makes sense.
This is a super cliche idea, isn't it?
February 11th, 2013 #6
First pass on the hair. I think I'm going to erase it all and redo it. I wasn't really thinking about the lighting or the hair as a whole. Also going to use bigger brushes next time and work down. All those small lines nearly killed me.
February 11th, 2013 #7
I think its totally fine to bend and distort proportions in this more editorial style of art, but make sure your choices are all working in the same direction. For example, her head seems rather short, judging by the eyes normally being at more or less half way up. like i say, you can bend the rules, but be aware youre doing it. Is it going to make her attractive, or look weird?
And one other thing, all these tiny little lines, you mention they were hard work. if you have to redo them, thats time down the drain. make sure the big stuff is right FIRST before doing all the tiny details, or youll spend 3 days on a drawing that should take an afternoon. trust me, been there done that.
Ah, haha, ok ONE more thing; storytelling trumps design every time; many many films with great CGi and bad stories have sunk without a trace, but a bit of wit and heart makes the shittiest drawing come alive; check cher check check checka check it out!

Thanks so much for pointing out that her head was short! Every single time I flipped the image, something in that area would catch my eye as "off" but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Just did some quick photoshopping to fix the problem. I definitely wasn't trying to distort proportions for the sake of style, I'm just bad
I went back in with a thick brush and did all the solid black areas of hair, branching out from there. Still not done with it, but I think it's too dark in some areas now. Looks like I accidently spilled some ink on it.
As for the storytelling, you're absolutely right. I know I skimped on it a lot for this drawing. The canvas is actually wider than what I've been showing, with the plan of filling in a simple background to make it a little less boring if I have the time. The next two weeks are going to be pretty hectic for me school-wise, so unfortunately this is getting bumped low on the priority list.
February 11th, 2013 #9
heads and hair are pretty damn tough.
heres some loomis
also try using a ridiculously humungous brush. youre still using a tiny pen nib sized brush, but a good penny-sized pressure sensitive soft round is the swiss army knife of brushes. youd be amazed how much it makes things easier.

Hey, cool, thanks! I took another look at my proportions but I couldn't find anything obviously off. I noodled around a bit more with the hair. The darkness grew on me, so I just got rid of all the spindly lines and made it solid black shapes. Not sure about the colour. I think I'm suffering from a total lack of planning.
February 13th, 2013 #12
Tried moving on to the jacket, made the same damn mistakes as I did with the hair. Wanted to do a leather shine to it and completely overshot to tiger stripes. Still too caught up in details and small brushes. My brain just can't get it together lately.

Took a look at some of Frank Miller's work and realized things communicate much better in larger chunks. I think works a lot better than before, but something about the left side still seems really lacking.

Spent all evening racking my brain over what to do with this. I tried a whole bunch of different colour schemes and different levels of shading, but nothing I do seems to give this the oomph it so badly needs so I'm thinking it must be an issue with the drawing itself. Here is where I left it off, including a few of the palettes I tried out. I'd love it if someone could help point me in the right direction.

Reduced the shading on the face because I thought she looked a little bit too masculine, plus some minor pixel cleaning up. Otherwise I think I'm going to call it done. Thanks again, everyone! Certainly would have never gotten to this point without your help

My love of writing stemmed from when I was a child, it was a time of innocence in which I would become lost in a world of fantasy. However, for seven years I lost my way, feeling that taking a different path would ultimately be best for me. That all changed one day in January 2006 when I was inspired to rekindle my love for writing by my mother.

You may know him as that pizza guy.
Herman Cain is hoping you will get to know him as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
Cain, the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza, formally announced Saturday that he is seeking the GOP nomination in the 2012 race.
Cain, the fourth Republican candidate to announce, was a crowd favorite at a Greenville GOP presidential debate earlier this month, garnering applause for his pithy one-liners.
In an interview with The State Tuesday, the 65-year-old Cain acknowledged he is seen as a long-shot candidate, in part because he never has held political office. But most of the people in Washington have held office before, Cain said, repeating a line that got him cheers in Greenville. Hows that working for you?
Im not a politician. Im a problem solver, said Cain, a favorite of the Tea Party, which also supported S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley. Weve got plenty of politicians already running.
Cain, who has been a talk show host in Atlanta and held posts at various corporations, including Coca-Cola and Burger King, said, if elected, his top priority will be boosting the economic growth in states like South Carolina.
If you get the national economy growing, the state economies will benefit and the local economies will benefit, said Cain, who has a five-point plan including lowering the top corporate income tax rate, reducing the capital gains tax rate to zero, and cutting the payroll tax for workers and employers for one year.
Cain is less certain of what to do about the war in Afghanistan.
The American people are uncertain of what is the end game. Can we win? said Cain, adding he needs more questions answered before taking a stand on the war. I need to get more information under my hat first.
Cain, a married father of two, said he decided to run because the country is headed in the wrong direction under President Barack Obamas leadership.

Very nice cage for my parakeet but I hang it so the cats can't tip it over. My cats are use to the birds but if I had the cage on a table, they'd probably nudge it around a bit.

Australian navy ship detects new signals 'consistent' with black boxes
Published on Apr 7, 2014 12:26 PM
PERTH - An Australian navy ship has detected new signals 'consistent' with aircraft black boxes, a senior official said on Monday as search teams raced against time in the hunt for missing Malaysian flight MH370.
"The towed pinger locator deployed from the Australian defence vessel Ocean Shield has detected signals consistent with those emitted from aircraft black boxes," said Mr Angus Houston, head of the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) in Perth.
The towed pinger-locator heard a first signal for two hours and 20 minutes, and a second signal for 13 minutes.
Mr Houston said the signals had left the search team "encouraged" that they were very close to where they need to be. "Clearly this is a most promising lead," he told reporters.
The next step is to fix the position and attempt to locate the wreckage of the plane.
"We have not found the aircraft yet..we need further confirmation," said Mr Houston, adding that confirmation would take several days.
The area where the signals were detected was very deep at 4,500m, which would make it difficult to retrieve the black boxes if they are lying on the ocean floor. "In very deep oceanic water, nothing happens fast," said Mr Houston.
The detection of signals is the most significant lead authorities have had since the Malaysian Airline jet carrying 239 people vanished from civilian radar on March 8, the longest time an aircraft has gone missing.
Up to nine military planes, three civil planes and 14 ships will be involved in Monday's search for MH370. The search area is expected to be approximately 234,000 sq km, said JACC.
The search fleet is racing against time as the data recorder of the missing plane reaches the end of its advertised battery life on Wednesday.
"The advertised time for the life of the batteries in the beacon is 30 days. Sometimes, they last for several days beyond that – say eight to 10 days beyond that – but we're running out of time in terms of the battery life of the emergency locator beacons,'' Mr Houston said on Sunday.
The search underwater is complex because the "pings" travel differently depending on the layers of water with different temperatures.
Mr Houston has cautioned that the search for the wreckage could take a long time. "We've a lot of difficult painstaking work ahead of us...to confirm where exactly the plane went into the water,'' he said.
But he added: "I'm more confident now than a week ago."
