The titles in Barron's Dog Bibles series provide detailed information on specific breeds--their traits, history, behavior characteristics, and recommended training methods. Prospective buyers are instructed on what to look for when choosing a puppy, how breed-specific traits influence the relationship between dog and Pet Parent, and potential health problems to look out for in specific breeds. Each book also includes detailed information and advice on:
- Everyday canine care, grooming, and exercise
- Nutrition and health maintenance
- Training and play activities
Sidebars appear throughout the pages of each book withbreed facts, helpful hints, and quick tips on training.

By Mike Rowbottom Usain Bolt ran to the limits of his ability last night to become sprinting's new Superman, writes Mike Rowbottom It was hard to know which was the most arresting sight here in the "Bird's Nest" stadium last night - that of the trackside clock registering 19.30sec at the conclusion of the Olympic 200 metres final, or that of the man who had stopped it there to better Michael Johnson's monumental mark of 19.32, actually heaving for breath.

By Jimmy Golen Associated Press BEIJING -- The Chinese and the wretched Beijing weather were no match for Misty May-Treanor and "Six Feet of Sunshine."

Hotel Impossible
Anthony Melchiorri takes hotels that are struggling and turns them into bustling tourist getaways.
Anthony Melchiorri (Host), Bruce david Klein (Executive Producer), Lorri Leighton (Executive Producer), Rob Green (Executive Producer), Brian Leonard (Executive Producer)
We're sorry, there are no episodes of "Hotel Impossible" available to record on your "East Coast " lineup in the next 14 days.
It's almost impossible to survive in the highly competitive hotel business without competent customer service, because patrons who experience an unhappy hotel stay often visit online review sites to tell their negative stories. And once word gets around, guests stop coming around. That's when Anthony Melchiorri arrives on the scene. He's a hotel ``fixer,'' the guy hotel operators call when their establishment needs to be overhauled. This hourlong series portrays the tough-love style Melchiorri uses at hotels across the country as he implements changes that include staff retraining and lobby renovations. With more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality business, Melchiorri says he knows the minute he walks into a hotel what needs to be fixed.

At this point, it is probably safe to assume that almost everyone has some concept of "big data" and the challenges that data proliferation pose for ediscovery. This blog alone has discussed the big data explosion (in some form or another) at least a dozen times in the past year, and the message is relatively clear: Big data equals big headaches for unprepared practitioners.
…But what if I told you that practitioners are actually keeping up with the challenges posed by big data, that I have the evidence to back up those claims, and that now you do, too
Preposterous, I know, but I'm not making any of this up! Kroll Ontrack's ediscovery.com Pulse offers hard data which shows that sophisticated ediscovery tools have allowed lawyers to keep pace with big data without sacrificing efficiency.
If you are new to ediscovery.com Pulse, here's a quick primer: Kroll Ontrack gathered data from thousands of ediscovery projects from 2008 to the present and normalized that data to identify key trends in statistically relevant metrics. These trends offer benchmarks that can help practitioners better plan and execute their own ediscovery projects. In addition to these benchmarks, ediscovery.com Pulse offers industry-relevant articles, case summaries, an interactive ediscovery rules map, and a swarm of other features to help you keep your finger on the pulse of ediscovery.
With the launch of ediscovery.com, Kroll Ontrack released its first five benchmarks. Here are the findings:
Generally speaking, these metrics suggest that savvier professionals are combatting big data using more robust tools for filtering and analysis and experiencing great success. While Kroll Ontrack expects the percentage of source data that is email to keep increasing, the metrics also indicate that source gigabytes, produced gigabytes, and the total number of gigabytes from processing through production will keep decreasing while parties continue to produce about 25% of the documents loaded for review.
Finally, here's the best part: Kroll Ontrack is just getting started with ediscovery.com Pulse. In the coming months, new benchmarks and features will be released.

Click to hear the interview
It appears the competitive hiring process isn't helping federal agencies land grad students, and isn't helping graduate students get federal jobs.
Earlier this week Federal News Radio talked with Tom Shoop, the Editor in Chief of Government Executive magazine. He told us that the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration has a proposal that would essentially scrap the competitive federal hiring process for graduate students in favor of a revitalized internship and apprenticeship program.
Tim McManus is the Vice President of Education and Outreach at the Partnership for Public Service. The Partnership likes the proposal, but also understands why unions are concerned.

The first-class judicial magistrate, Aurangabad, has issued a non-bailable warrant against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray for not appearing in the court in connection with a six-year-old case.
Magistrate Ashok Soni will hear the matter next on May 8.
Raj Thackeray and six of his party workers were booked in connection with pelting stones at a Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) bus on October 20, 2008. The driver of the bus, Ibrahim Abdul Salim Pathan, had lodged a complaint in the Karmad police station.
Raj Thackeray apparently did not responded to the summons issued by the court. Recently, he filed an application through his pleader seeking time to appear in the court. Later, through another application, he sought exemption from personal appearance on the grounds of the Lok Sabha elections.
Observing that the general elections were over in Maharashtra on April 24, the magistrate rejected Thackeray's plea and issued a non-bailable warrant against him.

Japan stocks jump on BOJ candidate speculation
"We are waiting for a lot of things to happen this week," said Jackson Wong, a vice president at Tanrich Securities in Hong Kong.
They include Italian election results expected by Tuesday that will have a big impact on the European financial crisis, a Friday deadline for U.S. spending cuts and a meeting in Beijing next week that will complete a Chinese political transition begun last year and reveal clues about policy direction.
"So the turnover or sentiment is still pretty cautious," Wong said.
In energy markets, benchmark crude for April delivery was up 39 cents to $93.52 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 29 cents to $93.13 on Friday.

Space Research May Help Explain Salmonella Illness
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO )
Salmonella is a leading cause of food poisoning and related illnesses. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 40,000 cases of Salmonella infections are reported in
"This research opens up new areas for investigations that may improve food treatment, develop new therapies and vaccines to combat food poisoning in humans here on Earth, and protect astronauts on orbit from infectious disease," said
The Salmonella experiments were flown on shuttle missions to the International Space Station in
The 2006 experiment results allowed researchers to identify a molecular "switch" that appears to control Salmonella's response to spaceflight in unique ways not observed using traditional experimental approaches on Earth. The 2006 results showed that the space environment causes a short-term alteration in Salmonella virulence — the bacteria cultured in space were more virulent than those on Earth.
The 2008 experiment confirmed the 2006 results and demonstrated that a change in the growth environment of the bacteria controls its virulence. There is no evidence that the space-grown bacteria sustained these effects for long periods after returning to Earth.
In addition to finding a leading candidate as to why the bacteria becomes more virulent in space, results from the 2008 experiment helped researchers identify ways to counter the virulence effect. A research team led by
The space experiments helped researchers show that a mechanical force known as "fluid shear," the motion of fluid that cells sense as fluid passes over their surface, could have a dramatic effect on Salmonella's disease-causing potential.
Lower fluid shear conditions, it turns out, are found both in microgravity and in our intestines. The bacteria cultured in space are more virulent, and Nickerson's work showed that by modifying the medium in which the cells are grown, the virulence could be reduced, or turned off.
In other words, space travel may trick the bacteria into behaving as though they were in the low fluid shear environment of the intestine, essentially turning on a switch inside the microbe that increases virulence. Changing the chemistry of the medium in which the bacteria are cultured reverses this effect.
"To our knowledge, no one had previously looked at a mechanical force like fluid shear on the disease-causing properties of a microorganism during the infection process," Nickerson said.

Blue Sky OutfittersRead MoreFor more than 30 years, Blue Sky Outfitters has been equipping rafters to barrel down rivers throughout the Pacific Northwest. Whether floating past bald eagles on the the still waters of the Skagit River or plummeting down the 14-foot Husum Falls, the company's whitewater rafts?helmed by capable pilots?meander through wildlife that stuns with beauty. For land-bound trips, adventurers can strap on snowshoes and journey through the Leavenworth Valley, or peer through the wide windows of the Adventure Bus as it journeys through wine country3400 Harbor Ave SWSeattle, WA US
All Season ChartersRead MoreAll Season Charters' quartet of captains share the wheel of the company's single 50-foot, all-purpose boat, Annie A. The ship serves a variety of purposes, ferrying passengers as they hunt salmon with the firm hand of Captain Amy at the tiller or spot whale flukes with the eagle-eyed guidance of Captain Michael. It holds up to 20 people, providing ample railing-space for scenic views, as well as the comfort of a galley with free coffee. The captains, for their part, charter their vessel out for any kind of oceanic excursions, such as sea burials or hunts for that message in a bottle you lost.300 Admiral WayEdmonds, WA US
Pacific NW Float TripsRead MoreDave Button grew up along Washington's Skagit River and had the inspiration to found his own company while navigating the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon under the helm of famed guide Georgie White. Soon after, Dave returned home to create Pacific NW Float Trips in 1974. Today, Dave and his crew of trained, passionate guides pioneer the routes and share their knowledge of the region's landscapes and salmon population via inspirational tours held year-round on the Skagit, Nooksack, and Wenatchee Rivers. Pacific NW's famed Bald Eagle Raft Adventure grants tourists a chance to take in the serenity of rustling cottonwoods and the majesty of Mount Baker as their guides quietly point out migratory eagles from Canada and Alaska.46346 Highway 20Concrete, WA US
Puget Sound ExpressRead MoreFor the Hanke family, it seems like Puget Sound Express has always been part of their lives. Raised in the Puget Sound his entire life, Pete Hanke honed his seafaring abilities alongside his father, Pete Sr. Together, the two started leading weeklong sailing adventures across the Pacific Northwest in 1981 and eventually started whale tours. Today, the business still remains a family affair, with grandparents, children, and grandchildren working side by side. Sherri Hanke, Pete?s wife, feels this is the company's biggest feature. "We have three generations of captains, so there is a wealth of knowledge there." In addition to their family members, Puget Sound Express's crew is well acquainted with the area's 88 resident killer whales, which naturalists can identify based on their markings and slick leather jackets. Tours also pass into the habitats of other wildlife, often spotting humpbacks, sea birds, and bald eagles. The Hankes' most popular voyage tours the San Juan Islands, pausing at the fishing village of Friday Harbor. According to Sherri, this region is well known for its weather. "We refer to it as the Blue Hole, because it is like this circle of sunlight. It could be raining in Seattle and extremely sunny here." The Hankes take adventure-seekers out on the M.V. Glacier Spirit, a modern, 70-seat vessel with open-air viewing decks and large windows allowing sightseers unencumbered views. Additionally, an on-board hydrophone listens in on whales' vocalizations to see which songs are currently stuck in their heads.227 Jackson StPort Townsend, WA US
Deception Pass ToursRead MoreThe tenure of US Coast Guard?certified Captain Brett as captain of the Island Whaler began as a dream. In the course of nine months, he had a recurring dream about an unusual flatbed boat, which replaced his normal dreams about beating up Napoleon with Horatio Hornblower. More than a year after the visions stopped, Brett discovered his fantasy boat sitting in a parking lot in Anacortes. He now owns that boat and pilots the open-topped Island Whaler through picturesque waters to view the multitudinous wildlife found in and around Deception Pass. The open deck and low-slung cabin of the seafaring sloop grants easy, panoramic views of the steep, rocky landscape. Captain Brett chimes in against the breeze with educational details about the pass's historical significance, structures, and ecology. Throughout the tours, spritely fauna with unevolved senses of stage fright perform lively, natural ballets as visitors potentially lock eyes with bald eagles, seals, porpoises, gray whales, and Pacific Northwest giant squid.160 Cornet Bay RoadOak Harbor, WA US
Triad River ToursRead MoreTriad River Tours was founded by expedition guides who spent over a decade leading trips on multi-day whitewater expeditions on rivers like the Main Salmon and the Snake River of Hells Canyon. After spending many days working on simultaneously complex and luxurious rafting trips, they came to find beauty in the minimalist approach to rafting. Triad River Tours is a licensed, insured, and permitted outfitter in Washington state, and uses high-quality equipment and skilled guides to ensure guests have the best experience possible. Triad River Tours focuses on the essential practices of great rafting trips, every tour follows meticulous safety protocols, and even before they offer a tour, the team spends up to six months scouting, preparing, and analyzing the specific route to ensure that every variable has been accounted for.43095 Challenger Rd.Concrete, WA US

They're young...they're in love...they kill people.
|A somewhat romantized account of the career of the notoriously violent bank robbing couple and their gang.
"Bold and brassy. Brutal and brilliant! New York Daily News
Editor's NoteBased on the true-life exploits of notorious Depression-era bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, BONNIE AND CLYDE is recognized as one of the most violent films to come out of mainstream Hollywood. Bonnie (Faye Dunaway) is bored with life and wants a change. She gets her chance when she meets a charming young drifter by the name of Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty). Clyde has dreams of a life of crime that will free him from the hardships of the Depression. The two fall in love and begin a crime spree that extends from Oklahoma to Texas. They rob small banks with skill and panache, soon becoming minor celebrities known across the country. People are proud to have been held up by Bonnie and Clyde; to their victims, the duo is doing what nobody else has the guts to do. To the law, the two are evil bank robbers who deserve to be gunned down where they stand. Beatty and Dunaway are marvelous as the young criminal lovers, delivering subtle and complete performances. Also excellent are Gene Hackman as Clyde's brother, Buck; Estelle Parsons as Buck's wife, Blanche; and the always enjoyable Michael J. Pollard as C.W. Moss. The film has made a large impact on American culture, expressing the mood of rebellion rampant in the late 1960s and beyond.

Professional Reviews
Customer Reviews of Bonnie and Clyde
Good action movie.2/5/2003
I saw Bonnie and Clyde when if first came out in the theaters, it was exciting and bloody. Nice job for its time. Anyone that enjoys action movies will enjoy this.
Bonnie and Clyde: A good film that's a big lie!12/27/1999
This film didn't tell the truth about the real Clyde Barrow And Bonnie Parker. This bunch gunned down at least 16 people in cold blood. When it came out in 1967, it upset the victims family members so much they wrote a book that told what they were really like.2 Helpful | 2 Not Helpful

Hi there,
I just developed a game with Air for iOS using Starling extensively.
When it comes to supporting both landscape and portrait mode it is all fine on iOS. The iOS operating system handles this perfectly.
However when it comes to Android it is a terrible mess. Every time someone rotates the device the complete graphic context gets lost. That means that every texture and graphic you have in the GPU memory gets suddenly lost. Thus you have to reupload all your assets to the GPU again. Since this uploading to the GPU is a quite expensive operation and may take a lot of time I finally came to the conlusion that my new game will not be available on the Android. Shame on it!
Has someone heard about a practical solution to this? I know it is on the Adobe Air issues list. But if I code in native Java for Android do we have the same issue?
Regards, Devarai
you should post this on starling forum,i think they will tell you how to fix this.
I'm curious
How many sizes the Android phones have ?
Is there a most popular size ?
Hi Devarai , maybe you're already aware of this but, anyway, iPhone doesn't change its screen size to both landscape or portrait modes. It simply uses the same screen width as it does at the portrait mode for both landscape and portrait. It only zooms the content a little bit at the landscape mode on IOS iPhone.
Wish you the very best and keep up the fantastic work !

Halep wins Tournament of Champions
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP)
NET PLAYFOXSports.com serves up the latest from the tennis world:
Simona Halep of Romania won the season-ending Tournament of Champions on Sunday, defeating Samantha Stosur of Australia 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 for her sixth career title.
The top-seeded Halep, who went unbeaten through the group stage, played with a muscle strain in her left leg but still managed to win the last five games of the third set to close out the victory. Halep won 20 of the last 26 points, finishing it off with a forehand winner down the line.
Halep enjoyed a majority of the crowd support, with a large contingent of supporters from neighboring Romania.
''I want to thank all my supporters here, who came to support me and helped me win the title,'' Halep said.
Halep repeatedly moved Stosur into the corners and finished off several points with perfect shots down the line.
''It was a tough match, Simona was too good today,'' Stosur said. ''I want to congratulate her. For me, it's time to get some rest.''
By winning six trophies this year, Halep is second only to Serena Williams, who won 11.
Halep is expected to rise to No. 11 in Monday's WTA rankings.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks still alive in Tanaka sweepstakes; meeting planned
Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers has gone all-in on acquiring Japanese pitching star Masahiro Tanaka, and hasn't lost the hand yet.
According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, Tanaka and his representatives are headed to the United States and will meet with as many as 12 teams by Friday. The D-backs -- along with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees -- are one of those teams.
The Dodgers, Angels, Cubs, Yankees and Diamondbacks have long been known to have a keen interest in the 25-year-old righthander who went a magical 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA for Rakuten, and earned virtual free agency via a revamped posting system that only will require the winning team to give $20 million to Rakuten, far short of what the Japanese teams received for previous Japanese pitching stars Daisuke Matsuzaka and Yu Darvish.
In seven seasons with Rakuten in the Japan Pacific League, Tanaka posted a 99-35 record with a 2.30 ERA.
Whatever team signs Tanaka is expected to commit well over $100 million, in addition to the $20 million posting fee.
Tanaka must sign with a Major League team by January 24, or he'll have to return to Japan next season.

Partial Medicare privatization, repeal of health-care law sought
That would let him wipe out deficits by 2023 without raising taxes. Ryan also calls for an overhaul of the tax code, but he would eliminate an array of tax breaks to finance a reduction in the top rate to 25 percent from 39.6 percent, a goal Democrats say would reduce taxes for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
At a Capitol Hill news conference, Ryan defended his decision to reprise policies that Obama and other Democrats opposed during the 2012 campaign.
"The election didn't go our way. Believe me, I know what that feels like. That means we surrender our principles?" Ryan said. "We think we owe the country a balanced budget. We think we owe the country solutions to the big problems that are plaguing our nation: a debt crisis on the horizon. A slow-growing economy. People trapped in poverty. We're showing our answers."
As Ryan prepared for a vote on his budget in committee this week and before the full House next week, Senate Democrats were crafting a more modest blueprint that nonetheless retreats from the terms of the budget deal Obama has offered House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and, more recently, Republican senators gathered for dinner with the president last week at a Washington hotel.
Full details of the plan will be available today. Democratic aides and lawmakers briefed on the document said it proposes to replace the sequester cuts with $1.85 trillion in alternative policies over the next decade, including nearly $1 trillion in new taxes — far more than the $600 billion Obama is seeking.
Murray also proposes nearly $1 trillion in spending cuts, with just $275 billion coming from health programs, short of Obama's $400 billion offer. And she seeks $100 billion for a new "economic recovery protection plan" that would fund infrastructure projects and education programs — and was quickly derided by Republicans as a new burst of "stimulus" spending.
In a statement, Murray called her plan "a responsible pro-growth budget that reflects the values and priorities of the middle class." But Republicans pounced on the call for new taxes.
After 1,413 days without a spending plan, "all the Democrats can come up with for a budget is a trillion-dollar increase in taxes," said Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas.
Despite the sniping, there were signs that both sides are open to a compromise. In contrast to the combative tone Ryan adopted last spring, when a Republican takeover of the White House and the Senate seemed like a real possibility, Ryan this year acknowledged that Obama is unlikely to adopt his proposals. And he repeatedly referred to his spending plan as "an invitation" to open negotiations.

ARLINGTON Sunday's Game 2 of the American League Championship Series between the Rangers and Tigers has been postponed until Monday at 3:19 p.m.
More rain was predicted in the area for Sunday night, and while a storm came within seven miles of Rangers Ballpark, no rain fell during what would have been the time originally planned for the game.
We felt with the forecast that we had that we didn't want to experience what we did last night. ... With the forecast for this evening, it appears that it's going to be a duplication of what we saw, Rangers president Nolan Ryan said Sunday. The one thing we're concerned about is the integrity of the game and not put either team in a situation where there is a possibility the elements could affect the outcome of the game.
But WFAA meteorologist Steve McCauley said that a revised forecast appears to show the bulk of rainfall Sunday evening shifted to the east of Arlington. I don't think we're going to see the 100 percent coverage of the rainfall for tonight; we've already had it, he said. It has already come through three hours early.
McCauley said there could be some very scattered rainfall developing to the southwest of Dallas-Fort Worth during the evening. The bulk of the rain will be to the east and northeast of Dlalas-Fort Worth, he said.
Game 2 tickets can be used for admission to Monday's rescheduled game.
Game 1 on Saturday night was twice delayed during the top of the fifth inning when sheets of rain began falling at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Texas went on to win 3-2.
The rain delays Saturday night were the first at Rangers Ballpark since May 24. This season was played during one of the hottest and driest summers in North Texas, including 27 games when the temperature was 100 degrees or more at first pitch.
If the game is played in Arlington on Monday, the series will lose one of its scheduled off days. Games 3 and 4 and Game 5 (if necessary) would be played Tuesday through Thursday in Detroit.
After the postponement, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Magglio Ordonez will miss the rest of the postseason because of an ankle injury, the second Detroit Tigers outfielder out of the ALCS.
Leyland said Ordonez is having problems with the right ankle that he broke last season, an injury that caused him to miss more than a month this summer.
Ordonez came out of Saturday's opener after the second of two rain delays in the top of the fifth inning. Ordonez drew a walk during a short resumption of play between the delays and was replaced by a pinch-runner when the game resumed for good.
Delmon Young was taken off the roster Saturday because of an oblique injury.
WFAA.com editor Josh Davis and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Annie's List
Fall 2011
Student: English and Rhetoric & Writing Senior
Position: Political Intern
Annie's List is a Political Action Committee located in Austin, Texas. Currently, it is an office with five full time employees, although they are in the process of expanding. The office is located in a house near West 6th, which is pretty spacious and comfortable. Although each department is separate, when there is a big event everyone pitches in to help. One of the unique things about Annie's List is that, since it is a PAC, it is funded entirely by private donors, which can be challenging at times. Since people are giving their hard-earned money to Annie's List they feel invested in what we are doing. Therefore, there is a substantial amount of time spent placating donors and dealing with their complaints and suggestions.
My title at Annie's List was "political intern" and my responsibilities were to help my supervisor recruit candidates and help with event planning. I spent a bit of time at the beginning of my internship helping recruit candidates, but as Annie's List's fall events got closer I spent the majority of my time preparing for them. I spent entire days putting together mailings and information packets for these events. I got very intimately acquainted with the printer and label maker. Towards the end of my internship, I was given a very interesting assignment by my supervisor's boss that I appreciated. It was a research project on progressive voter trends that I ended up drafting into a report that will be sent out to Annie's List donors.
I was able to set my own schedule. My supervisor was very committed to making sure that I had enough time to get my school work done and constantly mentioned that if I ever needed to leave for school that I was more than welcome to. One negative about this internship was that I was responsible for my own parking. I was able to find street parking at meters, but that adds up after a while.

Get out in Nature, Don't Have an Affair: Summer Suggestions for Fidelity
Research shows being in nature lowers the levels of the stress hormone cortisol (Cosmo Magazine, August issue, pg 207; American Cancer Society: http://bit.ly/MfdZJj). Instead of succumbing to stress and anxiety, relationship therapist Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil suggests couples use summertime and the great outdoors as a way to have an affair with their partner.
(PRWEB) August 13, 2012
Take a vacation in nature instead of having an affair, says relationship therapist Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil. Studies show that being with nature helps people reduce the stress hormone cortisol in their body (Cosmo Magazine, August issue, page 207; American Cancer Society: http://bit.ly/MfdZJj). Dr. Bonnie explains that high stress levels cause a Biochemical Craving for connection which she discusses in her book Adultery the Forgivable Sin – when people self-medicate and stress-bust in order to deal with the stress and anxiety they're feeling. "This behavior usually manifests itself in a less-than-desireable way," she says. "People have affairs, or turn to other types of addiction in order to deal with this Craving."
Instead of letting that happen, Dr. Bonnie suggests using the summer months for couples to reconnect with nature and with each other. Nature reduces stress and promotes feelings of calmness and tranquility. What better way to avoid adultery this summer than for couples to spend time together enjoying the outdoors. To that end, she has a few suggestions for summer fidelity:
- Plan a trip and fall back in love: Dr. Bonnie encourages couples to experience nature in their favorite way; maybe that's camping, or maybe it's spending time in a quiet cabin somewhere. "Whatever they do," she instructs, "couples should focus on the spark and sizzle that led them to each other in the first place. The backdrop of serene natural surroundings provide the perfect place for couples to focus on each other and their relationship."
- Take a hike (or a walk)! For couples that can't get away, or to add a little nature to their every day lives, Dr. Bonnie suggests taking a walk together. "This can be something fun to look forward to as a mid-week break, or an activity that couples can share which will bring them closer together over a shared hobby," she says.
- Picnic in the park: For a mid-day connection, have lunch in the park together. "Connecting during the day is a great way to keep a relationship fresh, and getting together outside provides another level of relaxation and connection," Dr. Bonnie explains.
No matter what, Dr. Bonnie wants couples to take the time "stress-busting" with each other, in nature as a way to maintain low stress levels and prevent the likelihood of an affair.

"Convenient to stadium and easy to get out of the garage from lower floors."
"Even though both the entrance and exit attendants were not familiar with the app and scan code - I didn't have a print out - a supervisor was available both times in a few seconds and got me in and out of garage quickly. This is the second time I've parked at SWG for Cardinals games using the app and it was a seamless experience and very helpful that they have reserved floors for ParkWhiz users. I will definitely park there again."
"i reserved two spots. we came in earlier than my grandkids, but we were both assured that we would have a spot when we arrived and therefore could leave together."
"Great. Easy to find and navigate. Very quick exit, as well."
"Easy to find, easy to reach the park, staff was helpful. The lot would have been sold out had we not reserved a spot & the @ the door price was higher than on line price."
"Was very satisfied with location being so close to ballpark also, was very satisfied with the ease of getting in and out of the garage. Very friendly attendants."

"Only simpletons believe the market is capable of learning," says Rainer Voss, long a top investment banker in Germany and now patiently, powerfully dishing for Marc Bauder's camera.
That statement's not exactly true, of course. As Voss demonstrates early on in the marathon interview comprising most of Master of the Universe, the market learns quickly, something like the way velociraptors learn to open doors: It will adapt to take every advantage that it can. It rewards the largest, most powerful clients and sticks it to governments, small businesses, and individual investors. (They always lose, Voss insists.)
What it can't learn, Voss argues, is to regulate itself, despite the post-bust promises of the banks that drove Greece, Spain, and — soon, he says — France to disaster. He warns: "Some people have an interest in the collapse of the Euro. There's an enormous potential profit there."

But he's not a full-on anti-capital scold, and at one point even argues this of the impossibly complicated credit-default swap schemes that tanked so many countries' economies: "I reject the idea that criminal elements are at work trying to outwit other people." Voss's interview, the only one in the film, comes closer to testimony than to the usual talking heads of contemporary documentary. He's sometimes defensive, sometimes proud, often despairing.
Fittingly, he's interviewed in a long-abandoned office suite in a glass tower overlooking the financial district of Frankfurt. The photography is gorgeous, the talk hushed and urgent, the message infuriating.
Bauder's film is a diagnosis of a system that is hopelessly sick and not being treated. Bring a stress ball to squish up as you watch.

Now I'm looking to develop some of these ideas further through 3d printing and making use of the elastic properties of WSF (inspired also by these 'digi-fabrics') I'm attempting to create a material which will be both auxetic (having negative Poisson's ratio - so it expands perpendicularly as you stretch it instead of contracting like most materials) and bistable (having two different unstressed states it can snap between, separated by an 'energy hill'). As far as I know this would be the first material to have both these properties. Here is how my mechanism should (hopefully) work: (The squares are attached to each other by axles at their corners and to the green spring system by axles through their centres. See how there are 2 different configurations of the squares for which the springs are relaxed) and here's what I'm actually planning to print: (dimensions in mm) Do you think the clearances will be sufficient for the axles to work and not fuse together ? I've stuck to the 0.6mm guideline, but I'm not sure if this still applies when the gaps go around corners like this. Also - do you think the springs will be able to bend sufficiently to allow the proposed motion ? I've printed struts on other models at 0.8mm and they are fairly flexible, though much longer than these. I want to keep the individual units as small as possible, because I think the interesting behaviour will come from having sheets of many units. (I'm hoping it will be possible to snap different parts of the same sheet into the different stable states, and move the wave between them around). The clearances can't be too big, otherwise the springs will not be stressed in the in-between state. This will be printed already assembled, but an alternative option might be to print the expanded squares, and the spring network separately, then snap them together. This could maybe allow tighter fits, but snap-fits would pose their own challenges. Anyway, I'd be interested in any of your thoughts or ideas on this design and how it might be improved. Thanks!]]> 32Q2 2012-01-20T01:44:00-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42352&th=7895#msg_42352 JamesSaunders 2012-01-20T18:51:47-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42424&th=7895#msg_42424 0.60 mm should be enough, go to 0.75 mm if you don't want to take risks. I am more concerned with the 0.80 wire. I would try at least 1.0. Less that 1mm is quite fragile in my experience. The section look like an ellipse not a circle: I am afraid that if it is the case, the wire will bend in the direction of the smallest radius, which is probably not what you want. Have a look at this video: the wires are 2mm and it is bistable Good luck. Oh one last thing: your model should be a good candidate for this new material... ]]> Magic 2012-01-21T11:47:20-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42426&th=7895#msg_42426 I think I'll scale the whole thing up by 25% then to be safe (and maybe print just 4 squares at a range of scales too, to see what works best) The springs are actually circular, it's just the angle that section is cut at. Nice bracelet, and thanks for pointing out that new material update. It does indeed look like it could have a lot of interesting potential for this sort of thing. Will post an update when it arrives...]]> 32Q2 2012-01-21T12:53:01-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42434&th=7895#msg_42434 This looks brilliant, cutting edge stuff! Really keen to see how it turns out so upload a video once you've received your sample. I have also started to produce some moving parts and the only issue I'm battling with at the moment is to ensure there's enough space for the unused powder to be removed. I've started to include holes in surfaces to make this easier. Keep us informed of future developments.

But for the second half of the animation, there are rotating in opposite directions. Are you sure the green structure should not go from one pattern to squares pattern to a different pattern where the orientation of the rounded tiles are inverted (horizontal instead of vertical and vice-versa) compared to the first one? I can understand that you need hinges for the blue squares, but I thought the green dots should be welded to the blue squares (if that makes sense). [EDIT] for example I thought the first horizontal green segment would bend once upward, once downward alternatively. The amplitude of the angle would be 90° which is precisely the value of the rotation of the blue square and thus the extremity of the green segment could be welded to the blue square. ]]> Magic 2012-01-21T17:28:19-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42450&th=7895#msg_42450 The curved arc form of the springs is better than just straight springs though, because the "twisting" at each of the vertices has the effect of making the springs tend to have the same amount of extension as each other, which makes the surface more uniform.]]> henryseg 2012-01-21T17:36:33-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42452&th=7895#msg_42452 I guess it would not be bistable if the green axes were welded to the blue squares: the model would stay in its printed position (whether it was prieted in its compact configuration or extended one). Instead with two different structures (the blue and the green) the green will always tend to its printed position (compact), while the blue would have two stable (compact) states... [EDIT] Note that the length og the green arc must be close to the side of the blue square multiplied by square root of two. I just watched the video: I have a lot of such "fabric-like" origami that I made a long time ago... ]]> Magic 2012-01-21T17:57:21-00:00 Re: Bistable auxetic http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42494&th=7895#msg_42494 I'm hoping though that with a large enough sheet of this there will be some interesting out of plane effects. If different parts of the sheet are expanded by varying amounts (as would happen if there was an expanded region trapped between 2 different stable regions) then it should cause the whole thing to take on some curvature. On a related note - I really like these sculptures by Haresh Lalvani, that work in a somewhat similar way: That said - I do think it would also be great to try out some truly 3d auxetics. Perhaps this arrayed 'jitterbug' mechanism could be combined with the double rotary joint shown here... ]]> 32Q2 2012-01-22T13:34:56-00:00

Despite Preservation Push, Rice University's Martel Center Demolished After All
Monday, April 21, 2014
Elisia Guerena.
Never mind! After all that fuss to preserve the iconic Texas tin structure, Rice University's Art Barn met the Grim Reaper on Wednesday, April 16. While a group was able to salvage the building's corrugated metal siding, wrecking crews tore away at the Martel Center's structure, marking a definitive end to efforts of preservationists to move the building to another site in Houston. Andy Warhol's famous oak tree planted in front of the former structure will remain intact, but once the dust clears only a grass lawn will serve as tombstone. A rogue power line temporarily stalled the demolition, thereby buying a commemorative moment for the Art Barn's historical and cultural import. The building's spirit will live on through the Menil Collection it once housed, as well as its legacy with other tin houses.
Michael Van Valkenburgh Overhauling The Menil Collection Campus
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Amanda Gruen.
New York-based landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA) has been selected to develop new designs for The Menil Collection's 30-acre campus in Houston, Texas. The appointment kicks off the Menil's "neighborhood of art" master plan, designed in 2009 by London-based David Chipperfield Architects. Chipperfield's scheme attempts to tie together a group of six buildings spread across several blocks and interspersed with outdoor sculpture gardens and green spaces. The museum anticipates that groundwork for the initial stage of MVVA's design will begin this September.

|Why is cabin 8088 infamous?
|A quiz question in our shipyard piece, penthouse suite 8088 is notable because part of its steel balcony was cut away to allow fully-made bathroom units for new suites to be craned through the hole.
|The cabin did get a new decor and color scheme.
|And yes, the steel has been replaced. Can you tell where it was cut out? I could, at least while standing behind the ship.
