We present an electrochemical aptasensor for rapid and ultrasensitive determination of the additive bisphenol A (BPA) and for screening drinking water for the presence of BPA. A specific aptamer against BPA and its complementary DNA probe were immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode via self-assembly and hybridization, respectively. The detection of BPA is mainly based on the competitive recognition of BPA by the immobilized aptamer on the surface of the electrode. The electrochemical aptasensor enables BPA to be detected in drinking water with a limit of detection as low as 0.284 pg mL−1 in less than 30 min. This extraordinary sensitivity makes the method a most powerful tool for on-site monitoring of water quality and food safety. Figure

Consistency is the name of the game.
In a typical college baseball season, there are around 56 games over the course of four months. In the great game of baseball, where perfection is virtually impossible, the one defining characteristic of a good player, as well as a good team, is consistency. Highs and lows will come, but being consistent creates a standard to hold yourself to each and every day. Continue reading 2015 CBD JOURNAL WITH RHODE ISLAND'S TIM CAPUTO (April 14th)

More Soil Delivered to Phoenix Lab
This image, taken by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo Imager, documents the delivery of a soil sample from the "Snow White" trench to the Wet Chemistry Laboratory. A small pile of soil is visible on the lower edge of the second cell from the top.This deck-mounted lab is part of Phoenix's Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA).
The delivery was made on Sept. 12, 2008, which was Sol 107 (the 107th Martian day) of the mission, which landed on May 25, 2008.
The Wet Chemistry Laboratory mixes Martian soil with an aqueous solution from Earth as part of a process to identify soluble nutrients and other chemicals in the soil. Preliminary analysis of this soil confirms that it is alkaline, and composed of salts and other chemicals such as perchlorate, sodium, magnesium, chloride and potassium. This data validates prior results from that same location, said JPL's Michael Hecht, the lead scientist for MECA.
In the coming days, the Phoenix team will also fill the final four of eight single-use ovens on another soil-analysis instrument, the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer, or TEGA. The team's strategy is to deliver as many samples as possible before the power produced by Phoenix's solar panels declines due to the end of the Martian summer.

Leveling the playing field
I concluded by asking Putman of any pet peeves he has obtained as maintenance coordinator. He laughed, as if he had been asked that question before.
"The worst thing for a field is use, but that's what the field is for," said Putman. "After we get done in the stadium for a game, after we get done prepping the field and the dirt is nicely watered, the mound and the plate is clean and level, the foul lines and batter's boxes are painted and the bases are nice and clean and white there's these three minutes where the field is in absolute perfect shape. And then they all run out there."
"Just means I get to come back and make it perfect again."

Obama jokes about aging during 2nd term
Monday - 4/29/2013, 5:34am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama joked Saturday that the years are catching up to him and he's not "the strapping young Muslim socialist" he used to be.
Obama poked fun at himself as well as some of his political adversaries during the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner attended by politicians, members of the media and Hollywood celebrities.
Entering to the rap track "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled, Obama joked about how re-election would allow him to unleash a radical agenda. But then he showed a picture of himself golfing on a mock magazine cover of "Senior Leisure."
"I'm not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be," the president remarked, and then recounted his recent 2-for-22 basketball shooting performance at the White House Easter Egg hunt.
But Obama's most dramatic shift for the next four years appeared to be aesthetic. He presented a montage of shots featuring him with bangs similar to those sometimes sported by his wife.
"So we borrowed one of Michelle's tricks," Obama said. "I thought this looked pretty good, but no bounce."
Obama closed by noting the nation's recent tragedies in Massachusetts and Texas, praising Americans of all stripes from first responders to local journalists for serving the public good.
Saturday night's banquet not far from the White House attracted the usual assortment of stars from Hollywood and beyond. Actors Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Claire Danes, who play government characters on series, were among the attendees, as was Korean entertainer Psy. Several Cabinet members, governors and members of Congress were present.
And despite coming at a somber time, nearly two weeks after the deadly Boston Marathon bombing and 10 days after a devastating fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, the president and political allies and rivals alike took the opportunity to enjoy some humor. Late-night talk-show host Conan O'Brien headlined the event.
Some of Obama's jokes came at his Republican rivals' expense. He asked that the GOP's minority outreach begin with him as a "trial run" and said he'd take his recent charm offensive with Republicans on the road, including events with conservatives such as Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Michele Bachmann.
"In fact, I'm taking my charm offensive on the road -- a Texas barbeque with Ted Cruz, a Kentucky bluegrass concert with Rand Paul, and a book-burning with Michele Bachmann," Obama joked.
Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson would have had better success getting Obama out of office if he simply offered the president $100 million to drop out of last year's race, Obama quipped.
And on the 2016 election, the president noted in self-referential irony that potential Republican candidate Sen. Marco Rubio wasn't qualified because he hasn't even served a full term in the Senate. Obama served less than four years of his six-year Senate term before he was elected president in 2008.
"I mean, the guy has not even finished a single term in the Senate and he thinks he's ready to be President," Obama joked.
The gala also was an opportunity for six journalists, including Associated Press White House Correspondent Julie Pace, to be honored for their coverage of the presidency and national issues.
The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza won the Aldo Beckman Award, which recognizes excellence in the coverage of the presidency.
Pace won the Merriman Smith Award for a print journalist for coverage on deadline.
ABC's Terry Moran was the winner of the broadcast Merriman Smith Award for deadline reporting.
Reporters Jim Morris, Chris Hamby and Ronnie Greene of the Center for Public Integrity won the Edgar A. Poe Award for coverage of issues of national significance.

Living near Rose Street, I have hardly ever seen a cyclist using any part of the street. There is an excellent path along Rose Street already.
The big trees are about the only place in town where one can drive westbound in the shade on a hot day. To say the trees are a visibility hazard is a joke. Because, if so, the hazard would have been fixed long ago.
Semi-trailer trucks use Rose Street going to the cold storage plant and need many lanes while turning on and off Rose Street.
Repaving Rose Street will be great. But it is foolish and a waste of money for the city to remove lanes. City officials should remember, "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
The money saved could be used to fix the many chuckholes and rough areas of the streets.

After arriving home we discovered that those Hanover Cleaning had spared our home and us from a disaster as the outside gas connector had gotten to be unstuck that exceptionally morning. Their snappy speculation and the work of their help staff spared the day. We are exceptionally appreciative for their convenient minding. P.s.

Pistons forward Corey Maggette drives past 76ers forward Thaddeus Young in a 94-76 win Wednesday. / Dale Zanine, US Presswire
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Winless no more, the Detroit Pistons had good reason to break out the cheers in a locker room celebration.
The worst start in franchise history was over.
Greg Monroe had 19 points, 18 rebounds and six assists to help the Pistons beat the Philadelphia 76ers 94-76 Wednesday night.
Kyle Singler scored 16 points in his first start of the season and Tayshaun Prince and Brandon Knight each scored 15 points for the Pistons, who improved to a still-woeful 1-8. They will take it.
"We're disappointed in our start, but it wasn't like we had any doubt we were going to win a game," coach Lawrence Frank said. "When we deserve to win, we'll win."
Gobbling rebounds with each Sixers miss, the Pistons deserved this one. Playing their seventh road game out of nine games this season, the Pistons controlled the lethargic Sixers from the opening tip. Four Pistons starters scored in double digits and forward Jason Maxiell had eight points and 12 rebounds.
"We felt like, as a team, this was long overdue," Monroe said.
The Pistons played so well they didn't even need both eyes on the ball from the free throw line. Late in the second quarter, Monroe was fouled on a drive down the lane and had a contact shuffled around in the process. He touched his right eye, squinted, and buried the first shot. With his contact back in place, he clanked the second attempt.
The moment was good for a chuckle in a game that turned into a laugher.
"My contact was just acting a little funny," Monroe said, laughing.
Monroe had a small shiner but blamed a hit from the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant in Monday's game.
The Sixers easily played their worst game of the season, making only 25 of 84 shots (30%). Lavoy Allen led them with 14 points, and Jrue Holiday had 12.
"When you see somebody beating up on you, you're supposed to hit back," Holiday said. "We didn't have that today. After a while, when we tried to, everything was going their way."
Without injured center Andrew Bynum, the Sixers continued to get dominated inside. They were outrebounded by 17 in Monday's loss to Milwaukee and got crushed on the boards 33-15 by halftime in this one. Monroe had nine at the break - or as many as the Sixers' starting lineup combined.
Philadelphia missed 30 of 43 shots in the first half and made 5 of 10 free throws.
The few thousand fans that showed up made for a dreary preseason atmosphere and they all booed the Sixers off the court at the break.
Kwame Brown started at center after missing four games because of a strained left calf, picked up two quick fouls, and played only 8 minutes in the first half.
The Pistons had plenty of room to maneuver in the paint - Singler scored 13, Prince had 12, and Monroe added 11 points in the first half.
Detroit had most of its fun in the second quarter, stretching a two-point lead into 52-34 at the break. The Pistons made only three three-pointers all game, scoring the bulk of their points on mid-range jumpers, and easy buckets around the basket.
The Sixers again struggled with their halfcourt offense, showing little ball movement and firing up long jumpers as the shot clock ticked down. Bynum hasn't played all season because of a bone bruise and isn't expected back until at least early January. It's clear they need help in the middle because the Brown-Spencer Hawes-Thaddeus Young combination has been a bust.
"It's not the end of the world," Hawes said. "We're going to get it right. We're going to get it back on track."
The Pistons led by as many as 23 points and had their way with the Sixers in the paint (42-28), on the fastbreak (17-11) and, most impressively, the glass, outrebounding the Sixers 57-38. The Pistons beat them 45-27 on defensive rebounds, just the kind of performance that will win a few more games.
"It shows what we're capable of doing," Frank said. "It's got to be a standard of how we play."
Notes: 76ers forward Dorell Wright briefly left the game and needed eight stitches on his chin. ... Pistons coach Lawrence Frank started 0-16 with the New Jersey Nets in 2009 and was fired. ... The Pistons had never started worse than 0-7 before this season. ... On the plus side, the Sixers made only four turnovers.

'The Connoisseur'
(b. 1711 - d. 1799)
"Loving the people should start from cutting taxes and exempting from rents."
About Emperor Qianlong
He so admired his grandfather Emperor Kangxi's 61-year reign that he vowed he would not reign longer, and stepped down after 60 years on the throne. Nearly six feet tall and slender well into his old age, Emperor Qianlong is chronicled as a true athlete and scholar. Under his rule, the Chinese empire reached its widest limits. He wrote both prose and poetry, sponsored a compilation of Chinese Classics, and patronized the development of painting, porcelain, and more.
Qianlong was the fifth emperor of the Qing dynasty, reigning from 1735-96. His father was Emperor Yongzheng. Like his father and grandfather before him, he was fascinated with Western style; however, his extravagance and military expedition costs seriously depleted the Chinese treasury, weakening the empire for a long time.
Within the Forbidden City
Like other Emperors, Qianlong had access to every part of the Forbidden City. His legacy saw the building of lavish gardens, including the private Palace of Tranquil Longevity where the royal family enjoyed leisure time with tea parties, opera performances and more. Truly "forbidden" one could not enter unless invited, and accompanied by the emperor himself...

Chicken Cup
This cup is one of the most exquisite and rare of Ming porcelain wares. Made in the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen for the court of Emperor Chenghua (r.1465-1487), it depicts two scenes featuring a family of chickens. Emperor Qianlong so admired the cup, he praised it in a poem he wrote. Today, only two original Chenghua chicken cups remain in the Palace Museum.
Book of Emperor Qianlong's poems, Series 1, Volume 2
Emperor Qianlong produced more than 41,000 poems and essays, and his early works covered a wide range of subjects, from descriptions of landscapes to narrations on paintings and other artworks.
Tea Pot
Emperor Qianlong loved tea so much that he wrote poems on his favourite tea wares. One panel on this teapot contains a poem he wrote in 1742, illustrating the mood of the scene depicted on the opposite side.
Bell set
As Emperor Qianlong arrived and departed from grand ceremonies in the courtyard, these bells would ring out in a mellow and mystical song. This set was made in the 29th year of his reign
Emperor Qianlong Viewing Paintings
One of the few court paintings that shows the actual architecture of The Forbidden City, this bird's-eye view's amazing detail captures many complex architectural elements.

Floating Hotel Looks Way More Fun Than Non-Floating Hotel
It's called the Boatel and it looks like Water World meets Bonnaroo. A series of ships-for-rent in Far Rockaway, New York, the Boatel is described as "all summer adventure art camping on boats." Also, The Princess Bride.
An airplane flies over head as a series of boats comprising of the Boatel are seen docked at a pier in New York June 1, 2012. The Boatel, an artist-run hotel built out of more than a dozen discarded boats at Marina 59 in Far Rockaway, offers a sanctuary from nearby John F. Kennedy International Airport and the buzz of New York City. Since opening last year, the hotel has been booked most weekends in the summer. A one-night stay costs $55 to $100, and profits go to support a small but thriving art community.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
History Making Hawks
by Paul on 03/08/13 at 12:13 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Mike Downey at CNN,
Hockey and I are old friends. I grew up in Chicago, right now the hottest town on ice. I also lived in Detroit, the self-named "Hockeytown, USA." I now reside in Los Angeles, current home of the game's Stanley Cup.
(That's the trophy that goes to the championship team, for those of you who wouldn't know a Stanley Cup from a sippy cup.)
The Chicago Blackhawks have been in the news. Why? Well, that's a good question. Because they win a lot? Uh, kind of. Because they don't lose? Er, technically, no. I will try to explain it if you've got a couple of minutes to kill.
(Which is also a hockey thing ... killing a couple of minutes while a guy's in a penalty box.)

Can Iron Tulip make United bloom?
Van Gaal is available, with a strong record, but it could be a fiery, volatile short-term ride
Published on Apr 27, 2014 1:28 PM
How swift the wheel now turns around Old Trafford.
Last Sunday, a fan dressed as the Grim Reaper taunted David Moyes with the scythe. Over the next 48 hours, the manager suffered dismissal by a thousand rumours.
By Tuesday, he was gone. The Scot was thanked for his integrity and hard work, condemned by results, and made scapegoat for players who failed to respect him and failed to do their best for United.
Ryan Giggs is the "interim" manager for four games. And the Welshman inadvertently twisted the hatchet by saying he had spoken to Sir Alex, and wanted to revive "The Manchester United philosophy - playing with passion, speed, tempo, bravery and imagination".

Moyes never got the chance to break down and rebuild his own United. Van Gaal would demand total control, and would not look fearfully or even respectfully up into the directors' box seeking approval for his decisions.

Men who made the instant transition from playing to managing:
Kenny Dalglish
The former Scotland forward was only 34 when he succeeded Joe Fagan as Liverpool player-manager in 1985 and went on to guide the club to a league and FA Cup double in his first season in charge. Two more titles and one more FA Cup followed before he resigned as manager in 1991, a year after hanging up his boots.
Graeme Souness
The no-nonsense Scotland midfielder became the first Rangers player-manager when, a month shy of his 33rd birthday, he joined from Sampdoria for £300,000 (S$630,000) and succeeded Jock Wallace. Three titles and four Scottish League Cups followed in five years.
Bryan Robson
The former Manchester United midfielder spent two years as player-manager at Middlesbrough, immediately winning the club promotion to the top tier. Had a further five years as manager, during which time he took them to two League Cup finals and one FA Cup final. Left in 2001, seven months after Terry Venables was brought in as head coach.
Ruud Gullit
The Dutchman had only been at Chelsea a year when he was appointed player-manager in 1996 after Glenn Hoddle was made England head coach. Guided the club to FA Cup success in his first campaign in charge only to be sacked the next season with Chelsea second in the league and in the quarter-finals of both cups after a disagreement with the board.
Glenn Hoddle
Guided Swindon Town to the Premier League during his two years as player-manager before taking on the same role at Chelsea, which led to him getting the England job.

US Government Introduces Pollinator Action Plan To Save Honey Bees 143
from the won't-somebody-please-think-of-the-bees? dept.
Yeah, introduce foreign proteins and compounds into food crops and then wonder why dozens of birds, honey bees and other animals are on huge declines.
I got an idea, put Monsanto and all these other GMO "I wanna rule the worlds food production" companies and make THEM PAY to restore the honey bees, birds and other species they destroy through pollution of destructive genetic engineering of our biosphere.
You should write into your contract that you're allowed to take samples from fields where your bees work, and that the farmer is liable for damages if something happens to your bees, you test those samples, and find the bad pesticides.
Contract law is a lot simpler than laws to "protect nature", and since the nature in this case has an owner (you) it's not just a common resource to exploit.
No help if neighboring farms spray that pesticide, of course.

Help finding accessories in California.
I will be leaving my frozen homeland of Ontario next month for a few weeks. Heading down to Perris Valley California for work. Does anyone know if there are worth while Adventure Riding outlets? Or places that sell parts for F800's? I picked up a 2013 Kalamata 800 in December and have been getting it 'trail ready' over this long cold winter. Might be able to save some shipping if I can find some trick bits down there. I believe Perris is half way to LA and San Diego.
fyi, its -40 something Celsius with the windchill this morning. I don't believe my heated grips would be much help lol.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Find a UPS store close to where you will be and have items shipped to it for pick up when you are in the area. Costs next to nothing and sometimes even free. Send the the store an email letting them know you will be picking up the packages on your way by.
For BMW parts I have had great dealings with Max BMW. Excellent service and I ordering system.
For Gear and Farkles best guys without a doubt are the boys at Adventure Designs. http://www.advdesigns.com/
Think he wanted California farkle info
Not necessarily a farkle shop but rather a motorcycle emporium (accessories too) at Chaparral in San Bernardino. Not to far from Perris. If you aren't looking for BMW-manufactured farkles, this would be a good place to check out.
If you don't already know this, Perris is in the middle of nowhere, in terms of proximity to large cities (L.A., S.F., S.D.). The three closest dealerships for BMW are probably Brown's in Pomona, Irv Seaver in Orange and Riverside BMW in, well, Riverside. If you make it to Irv Seavers, Turbo City is just down the street. They make racks and bike protection for dual sport bikes. http://www.turbocity.com/
You should check out Solo Moto Parts. A great bunch of guys they have a lot of adventure bike stuff...and they even carry the good Canadian stuff down there! :deal
They're about an hour away from where you'll be.
Stop in @ SF BMW and see some of the Wunderlich stuff available. Not sure if you can stop n shop at Wunderlich (its in Watsonville).
Exactly what I am looking for, great info thanks gents.
FWIW I do this regularly for work but mostly with FedEx. The stores usually hold a package for 4business days before processing them to be shipped back to the sender. I'm not sure what UPS does but would be worth checking as most places won't keep packages indefinitely.
If you sign up for MyUPS you get an email the day prior to the item being delivered. It's helpful if you need to reroute the package to a location to pick up instead of your doorstep.
FedEx's app sucks and should do this but doesn't. Any FedEx or FedEx Kinko or FedEx Office will accept a HAL ( Hold at Location) but don't send something Fed Ex ground to a Fed Ex Depot or world ship center...they will refuse the package and it's gets sent back. FedEx ground and FedEx operate as two different companies in this regard.
You are welcome to use my address for shipping to, then come collect your stuff.
Google says 46 minutes from Perris.
tell me what you need, i can get it shipped to you .
im in SF, CA
Try heading down Highway 395 in Nevada and you can visit Adventure Motostuff.
There is also Yellow Devil Gear Exchange in Long Beach:
They have mostly used clothing, but sometimes have used luggage too.
The Yard House restaurant is also worth a stop if you like beer. More on tap than I have ever seen.
Adventure Designs
You can also check out Adventure Designs - good guys and carry lots of BMW and Adventure riding stuff.
They are in Hayward which is close to Oakland in the SF Bay area but will ship stuff out no problem.

Seeing 'Red'–art, passion and madness in a brilliant play
'My generation finds thinking a chore, when previous generations found it a pleasure'
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
RED" by John Logan is a play that won almost every major theatrical award in London when it premiered in 2009, then repeated the feat in New York when it opened the following year.
This brilliant play (Logan also wrote the screenplays of "The Last Samurai," "Gladiator" and "Any Given Sunday") speculates about one of the most enigmatic incidents in the 20th-century art world.
In 1958, the abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko was commissioned, for an astounding sum, to paint a series of murals for the cutting-edge Seagram Building on Park Avenue. After completing the works, he decided to keep them and returned every penny of his commission. Years later, he donated the works to the Tate Gallery in London and committed suicide.
The play introduces a fictitious assistant who engages Rothko in arguments and conversations that ultimately make us understand why he might decide to withdraw his work from the commission.
Joaquin Valdes, an up-and-coming director of movies and commercials, and I are sitting around after rehearsals analyzing what worked and what didn't. The conversation inevitably drifts to our perceptions of the play and we begin to analyze each other's personality. We decide to interview each other as an exercise in building onstage chemistry and rhythm.
Bart on Joaquin
BG: So we're doing this play about art. What is art, anyway? And why is it so important?
JV: I think we've come to an age where ART is really more dependent on the receiver than the producer. Whatever message ART evokes or communicates is best interpreted by the ones viewing it. An artist can never have full control over his work once he allows another person to view it. This didactic is evident in the play. Art becomes that constant tension between intention and interpretation.
BG: When and how did you decide to be an artist? How meaningful is the theater to you?
JV: I grew up in the theater, got to work with and witness so many wonderful actors and directors. Life was just so much more magical and imaginative. It allowed me to create, to express and to reflect. But the dullness of reality really settles in as you grow up. Even Peter Pan had to grow up.
So I felt that I needed to succumb to the gray routine of maturity. It was in the middle of college when I realized I was indeed not called to be behind a desk and actually called to create. I shifted from Architecture to Film on my fourth year at UP and it has been the best decision since.
BG: It's our first time to work together. Are you having fun?
JV: I loved the play and when you first asked me to read, it meant so much to me. I saw myself in both Ken and Rothko. I loved the theme of father and son, mentor and apprentice, master and student. I don't usually do plays anymore since my schedule as a director is really quite insane, but "Red" was in my personal bucket list.
Working with you is actually quite frightening, not because you're a scary director or a difficult actor. What frightens me are our similarities. When you begin talking about "art," the meaning of it, how it transcends, you get impassioned the same way I do. There's really a lot of art-imitates-life-imitates-art in this process and, although you'll never admit it, you actually do become my Rothko in many ways.
But most of the time, it's the other way around, it's like I'm Rothko and you're Ken. You have a sense of wonder, experimentation. It's nice to witness that.
BG: Are you Rothko or Pollock? Dionysian or Apollonian?
JV: I'm really not one or the other, but a union of both.
BG: Acting or directing or writing—what would you rather do?
JV: Directing. No doubt. I get to work with the most magnificent actors and writers
as a director.
BG: How do you think your generation differs from mine?
JV: Things are just too easy and user-friendly. My generation finds thinking a chore, when previous generations found it a pleasure. Jokes were smarter, wittier and more intelligent. But now, there's no more subtlety, scrutinizing or studying. It's all spoon-feeding.
This generation needs to be taught how to work hard, when the previous generation needed it to survive.
Joaquin on Bart
JV: Why did you choose "Red"? What is its relevance today?
BG: "Red" is about an artist who tries to practice his art with purity, without compromise. In this day and age when speed and expedience are given premium over vision, you'd be crazy to pass up the chance to play someone as stubbornly intransigent, as maddeningly exasperating as Rothko.
But more than just the role, the entire play itself is brilliantly written. Logan refuses to fall prey to easy platitudes and sentimentality. Instead he explores his themes with a trenchant pen and a deep sense of commitment, oftentimes with a clinical detachment that is unnerving.
At the same time, there's so much fireworks going on. I have not seen so much passion onstage without there being a "love" angle—it can literally take the audience's breath away.
JV: The play goes into very deep discussions on art, comparing generations and movements. How does this speak to you as an artist?
BG: If I had even an iota of insecurity in me, I'd look at you and think I'm being supplanted in my middle age. Luckily I'd come to accept at a very young age that obsolescence is part of life. As is wisdom. I look forward to the day when you direct me and I sit at your foot, mentored by you.
Going back to "Red"—I've always been an art enthusiast. I even considered being a visual artist at one point. So I do have some appreciation of the evolution of the artistic movements referred to in the play. Here's an unsolicited answer to an unasked question: My favorite artist for a long time was Modigliani. Now that I'm older? Rothko, hands down.
JV: You chose to do "Red" with a staff of students from CSB and in the SDA Theater. Why did you go this route?
BG: Who better to infect your passion with than those who are ready to go forth and be your army of theatrical proselytizers? If we don't get much of an audience (fingers crossed), we will at least have touched the minds and hearts of those who possess possibility, and therefore bravery.
I am grateful that De La Salle College of St. Benilde's School of Design and Art is producing the show with us. They own one of the most enviably gorgeous theaters in the city and they are visionary enough to want to carve out a seal of quality for their series of performances, The Vito Cruz Project.
JV: Mark Rothko was a very dark man with a very tragic life-view. How similar or different are you with Rothko?
BG: I don't have a tragic life-view, although like all human beings I do experience lows from time to time. The two things about Rothko I can say I can relate to are his penchant for analysis—very critical analysis. And his pedantry, which almost approaches demagoguery. But then, aren't all impassioned people demagogues?
JV: What is "Red" to you?
BG: It's a chance to bring ideas to life. The idea that if the world is to move forward, purists are necessary. That geniuses, as unattractive as they can be, are necessary. That theater as a medium of entertainment and edification is necessary.
The Asian premiere of "Red" is presented by Actor's Actors Inc. and The School of Design and Art of the College of St. Benilde, Feb. 22-23 and March 1-2, 7:30 p.m. Tickets available at Ticketworld, tel. 8919999, or through 0915-9108098. Like on www.facebook.com/TheNecessaryTheatre.

I researched the issue, found a video and ordered the belt, which came in 2 days. It was inexpensive, and I had my dryer back and running in less than 3 days. I did get my son to help me as it might not be that easy with just 1 person (to hold the drum in place while putting the front back on). Great service and great information on how to do the repair.

Usually the moves I have to make include getting groceries and picking up dry cleaning, sometimes even major moves like getting an oil change. But rapping along a beach while the waves crash in? Those are moves I definitely need to learn how to make. After hitting the DJBooth with Paid back in October, Cleveland repper Dub-O returns with a video single for Moves to Make. Produced by Hitmakers, Moves features a synth-heavy beat that allows Dub to both drop some verses and harmonize a bit, all while discussing, as you might have guessed, the moves that he has to make in order to get his change together. If anyone out there needs me to rap along a beach for them just let me know, I'm definitely interested and available. (Ok, fine, so you'd probably be better off booking Dub-O.) Moves To Make can be found on the EST19XX representative's project, Do I Know You?, out now.

November 1-5 is 64-bit Webcast Week! There are 13 hour-and-a-half-long sessions on lots of different aspects of 64-bit development. Here's the complete list (all times are in US Pacific time (UTC - 8) - for Eastern Australian time just subtract 5 hours and add a day (ie they are 19 hours behind - daylight savings will have kicked in), so the first session is 4-5:30am Tuesday Sydney time.

Originally written on Bronx Pinstripes | Last updated 11/19/14
Photo courtesy of mlb.com Nervous Yankee fans got their wish Thursday when Team USA's roster was announced without Andy Pettitte's name on it. The left-hander will not pitch in this year's World Baseball Classic, contradicting reports earlier in the week that the soon-to-be 41 year old would participate. No reason has come out yet as to why Pettitte is not on the roster, but chances are that the Yankee front office and manager Joe Girardi had the final say and persuaded him to focus solely on Spring Training and being healthy for the upcoming season. Historically, the Yankees don't like sending their players to compete in these "exhibition" games if they don't have to. Here is the official roster for Team USA: Manager: Joe Torre Position players: C/1B- Joe Mauer MIN C- J.P. Arencibia TOR C- Jonathan Lucroy MIL 1B- Mark Teixeira NYY 2B- Brandon Phillips CIN SS- Jimmy Rollins PHI 3B- David Wright NYM UT- Ben Zobrist TB UT- Willie Bloomquist ARI OF- Ryan Braun MIL OF- Adam Jones BAL OF...

Grumpy Old Men ft. Grade Aplus - Bucket List
Artist: Grumpy Old Men
Producer: AraabMUZIK
Album: #FreeLunch
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 7 votes )
Achieving your dreams can be pricey—especially if you're as ambitious as Mike Schpitz and Pete Sayke. On the latest world premiere off their sophomore collaborative set, the Grumpy Old Men calculate the petty cash they'll need to check off all the items on their Bucket List. Joining the duo over AraabMUZIK's synth production (not an original beat, taken from Lloyd Banks' Love Me In The Hood), Grade Aplus contributes some equally high-rolling guest rhymes. #FreeLunch has yet to receive a solid release date, but those who like what they're hearing can keep their browsers locked for all the latest news and tunes.

Is informality a barrier to financial development?
- Ceyhun Elgin,
- Burak R. Uras
- … show all 2 hide
This study investigates the relationship between financial development and the size of the informal economy. We build a model in which an exogenous variation in the size of the informal sector creates two effects on financial development. Specifically, informal sector harms financial development through increasing financial repression due to tax evasion. However, on the other hand, increasing informal sector size facilitates financial development through easing the capacity constraint on the financial sector. Using a cross-country panel data set of 152 countries over the period 1999–2007 we also provide empirical support for the mechanism of our theory.

Guerrilla Radio, published by NationBooks, is the remarkable story of B92, a Belgrade radio station founded in 1989 by a group of young idealists who simply wanted to "play rock 'n' roll and tell the truth." As Slobodan Milosevic led his country into four Balkan wars, B92 became the leading voice of resistance for those who opposed his dictatorship. In a moving account of life inside Belgrade, Matthew Collins describes how the station's founders survived four shut-downs, economic hardship, armed gangsters and NATO bombing, until the dramatic overthrow of Milosevic in October 2000. The following is an excerpt from chapter four. Click here [1] for info about Guerrilla Radio, including how to order a copy online.
The first thing to hit you was the noise. From a mile away it sounded like a thousand screeching tires--a road race, like the Monte Carlo grand prix, circling round and round tight cobbled corners, or a distant football match, with angry fans screaming their displeasure at some poor refereeing decision. Then closer, and the shrill silver whinny, a piercing sheet of sound bursting from thousands of whistles, was underpinned by the queasy low moan of cow horns blowing a mournful bass counterpoint in unison. And then the people: too many to count, a rolling surf of faces and bodies, each chanting, whistling, blowing hard until they had to catch their breath--and smiling, positive, innocent again with a sudden flush of wonder; a lost emotion inexplicably rediscovered.
A frail, headscarved old lady halted the marchers and passed out home-baked cakes. A ruddy-faced pensioner threw down cans of beer and packs of cigarettes from his fourth-floor balcony. A woman cradled her child in one arm, gazing down on the city's children, brushing away tears with her free hand. Tears welled up in the marchers' eyes as they saluted her with whistles and arms aloft. From every towerblock, people were waving and cheering, showering the crowd with tiny strips of torn paper.
In the middle of it, a phalanx of funky drummers, woolly hats pulled low against the chill, stepped jauntily to a samba beat bashed out on cheap East German drum kits, while fellow marchers banged along merrily on saucepans and cheese graters and tinny, tinkling cowbells; anything they could pull out hastily from a kitchen cupboard and carry along to make some noise, to shatter the silence, to synch to the beat which declared: We are here--now listen.
It was a carnival of resistance. Belgrade had woken up and opened its eyes. From nowhere, an intrepid spirit had sprung from the concrete boulevards; a hardy winter flower blossoming on barren ground. Everywhere you looked, someone was plotting and planning, trying to outdo the rest with the most outrageous and telling strike at the heart of the regime; the blackest joke, the most audacious allegory.
Across a frosty quadrangle and down the yellowing corridors of Belgrade University's Faculty of Philosophy, a bunch of students, clad in jeans and sportswear, were working on their daily newssheet, the Protest Tribune, and arguing, laughing, joking, while upstairs their comrades huddled in sleeping bags--the night shift, snoozing lightly for a few hours before it was their turn to resume command.
One of them stopped for a moment, rubbed his red eyes, lit another Marlboro, inhaled quickly, then explained, in the kind of hurry that indicated all talk was a waste of precious time that could be better spent on action: "When we started we were full of enthusiasm. We thought if we carried on for 10 days they would listen to us. Now it's cold, we're tired, we have exams coming up, we don't want to go on the streets. Milosevic is ignoring us, hoping that we will get bored and break down. In 1991 and 1992 we failed, and each time we failed it got worse and worse. I don't know what will happen if we fail this time. We can't make any more compromises."
This was Miroslav, an archaeology student, inflamed with lack of sleep and the urgency of a body clock running on double time. "We learn about democracy, about justice, about human rights, but then we see the media blockade, manipulation all over the place, police on the streets," he gabbled. "They stole our votes. It's not like we were taught. Many people think nothing will change if the opposition come in. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong. But come on, let's see! We can't lose anything more."
Thousands of police, he said, were parked up in the back streets, waiting to strike when the order comes. He remembered 1991, when the tanks rolled in to the city squares and stood there, arrogant and threatening. "We don't want any bloodshed, we don't want anyone to die, but if necessary I will be the first to lie in front of the tanks. They'll run me over: OK, no big deal--I don't want to live in a country where there is no freedom."
Across town, in the dusty basement of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering underneath Bulevar Revolucije, another group of students, most of them no older than 20, were sucking down bottles of Czech beer, huddled around glowing computer screens, their dishevelled clothes indicating that none of them had been getting much sleep down here. They were slightly nervous, worried that the police might discover the location of their guerrilla bunker, but simultaneously euphoric, urging each other onwards. Pasted on the wall was a chart listing the world's top twenty dictators, downloaded from the Internet. Slobodan Milosevic was in at number fourteen with a bullet. One of the students complained sarcastically: "He should definitely be in the top ten!"
This claustrophobic room was the command center for the young protesters' website. They wrote reports, took photographs, collated news, translated it into English, coded it and published direct to the world the same day. By web design standards, theirs wasn't a slick, flashy site: it just did its job. "The Internet is the only free media in this country, the only way to communicate with the international public," said one, Igor. "We are making connections with young people all over the world. We are saying: 'Look at us, we are the same age, we think the same, we like the same music, we are also Europeans and we want to be part of Europe.'"
He and his friends had been down in their strip-lit bolt-hole for weeks, toiling selflessly day and night. Their studies were on hold for the duration and they expected to have to spend another year at college to catch up. "Most of our teachers and parents support us," said Igor. "They say it's better to lose one year of studying than to lose your whole life in the darkness."

What Was the Biggest Surprise at the 2010 Golden Globes?
Like us on Facebook
Well folks, now that the Golden Globes are behind us, it's time to do what we do best — pick it all apart, analyze it, and try to figure out what it means for the rest of award season. I was happy to see that many of my predictions came true: Meryl Streep, Christoph Waltz, and Mo'Nique all took home awards as expected but there were a few surprises mixed in as well. I was sure that Gabourey Sidibe was a shoo-in, and I kinda thought RDJ's award would go to Matt Damon or Michael Stuhlbarg. Plus, I couldn't believe The Hurt Locker got absolutely no love after such a strong showing at the Critics' Choice Awards. What do you think was the biggest surprise of the night?

i'm really happy the hangover won! honestly, i didn't see nine, 500 days of summer, or julie&julia winning anyways (as much as i liked the last 2) avatar-gag! i see why he got the best director, but from what i've heard the actual story line sucked! super excited about glee (woohoo, they beat 30 rock!), but i agree...jane was robbed! i love big love (and chloe), but jane is half the reason glee is so fun!

Thing is that Glee is quite new and had just half a season. No doubt that Jane will have many chances to grab Emmys and Globes for her role for some time to come. Big Love has been on the sidelines for 3 years and has been continually impressive. To see the show and its actors finally get recognition is very gratifying, and much deserved. That said, I do wish the Globes wouldn't lump all the supporting actors into one category. It's not a level playing ground.

i wasn't really surprised by any of the winners although with all the hype that up in the air was getting at other shows - i think that everyone expected them to win more. i think that from experience, we knew that they wouldn't take home all the awards, but i'm sure lots of folks were expecting that

The Hangover winning was not only a shock but a massive disappointment. I enjoyed it as much as the next person, but it was up against some verifiably great movies (500 Days of Summer, Nine, Julie) and it got way more recognition than it deserved.

The Hangover deserved all the praise and accolades it recieved - including a Golden Globe. What people don't realize is that The Hangover wasn't just any raunchy comedy; unlike most of the stupid, dime-a-dozen films in its genre, it took a formula and made it better than ever. The Hangover was not just an absuredly funny comedy; it was a tale of friendship, redemption, and fiding oneself. That just gets overlooked because it's so silly and funny. The biggest surprises; not because I didn't see it coming but because it is absurd that it happened; were Cameron winning Best Director and Avatar winning Best Drama. I am just at a loss for words that this happened. Avatar was a wondeful movie; a visual delight that despite the fact that it really wasn't that new or revolutionary, the work that was done to achieve it will have a lasting impact on computer generation in films; but it was in no way the best film of the year nor even the best drama. Especially in a year where we saw such achievements as The Hurt Locker and Precious; not to mention the always reliably excellent Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds AND (what I think is about the closest we can get to a best picture of last year) Up in the Air; Avatar's and Cameron's wins were abominations...

I was also surprised that the Hangover actually won. I was so thrilled Glee took home an award too! I didn't really think they had a chance since they are new and were against some tough competition!

Former Celtic Still Searching
|01.07.09 at 7:34 am ET
Former Boston Celtic training camp invitee Darius Miles is still searching for a home in the NBA. The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported Miles was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies following Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man was scoreless in two games for the Griz after being signed to a non-guaranteed contract in December. The team had to decide by 5 p.m. today whether or not to guarantee his deal for the rest of the season. An injury to center Darko Milicic forced the team to keep their options open.
"I thought he did a good job," Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace told the Appeal. "He was everything the people in Boston told us. He showed me he could come back and play. Unfortunately for Darius, when we had to injury to Darko it put us in a precarious situation with our big men."
Miles was waived by the Celtics before the start of the regular season.

Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank National Association has agreed to pay $200 million to settle allegations that it failed to check on the credit-worthiness of thousands of applicants when it issued government-insured mortgage loans between 2006 and 2011.
The U.S. attorney's office for northern Ohio announced the settlement Monday.
A statement of facts included with the settlement agreement said the bank also failed to properly audit its portfolio of insured loans to gauge its performance. The statement said the bank instead mixed those loans with noninsured loans in its report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
A company spokeswoman says in a statement that the bank cooperated with authorities and did not admit to wrongdoing.
