text: WE'RE SO UNHIP. This month's DORKBOT-SEA meeting will tell you why we're all 40 YEARS BEHIND THE CURVE at 7.30 PM on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7th at CoCA (http://www.cocaseattle.org) when internationally-recognized, Seattle-based media arts consultant, curator, and historian ROBIN OPPENHEIMER, in conjunction with Seattle/NYC legend DORIS CHASE, tells us all about the 1960's E.A.T - EXPERIMENTS IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY, and the "9 EVENINGS" ARTIST/ENGINEER COLLABORATIONS between Bell Labs engineers and artists such as Jean Tingley, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. And then, GET HIP AGAIN! OTIS FODDER will be playing out for the first time since his return from Europe, with an exclusive for-this-dorkbot selection of rare and suitably strange 60's sounds from his amazing archive. As always, ADMISSION IS FREE, though a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged. We'll have a lava lamp, keg and cocktails, so don't forget to RSVP to ensure your vodka martini is waiting for you. See you on Wednesday! It's going to be quite an evening. NOTE: SEEING ROBIN'S EXTRAORDINARY MATERIAL is a too-rare privilege: it isn't available broadly, so TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND DON'T MISS OUT YOURSELF! Feel free to forward this invitation. Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ROBIN OPPENHEIMER: 1960'S EXPERIMENTS IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY (E.A.T.) HISTORIES: BILLY KLUVER AND THE "9 EVENINGS" ARTISTS & ENGINEERS COLLABORATIONS. In the mid-twentieth century, artists of all genres (dancers, painters, sculptors, musicians) worked with many forms of new and "old" communications technologies - film, early video, computers, audio and radio electronics, etc. They found a champion in Billy Kluver, a Bell Labs engineer. His collaborations with Jean Tingley, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg in the early 1960s led to the 1966 "9 Evenings of Theatre and Engineering" event in New York City. Convinced there was a need for an information clearinghouse to make technical information and advice available and a service for arranging individual artist-engineer collaborations, Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) was then founded by a group of artists and engineers led by Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Whitman, Billy Kluver and Fred Waldhauer. With 28 chapters founded by regional artists and engineers across the U.S., E.A.T. represented a new vision in the late 1960s to expand the artist's role in contemporary society and eliminate the separation of the individual from technological change. Seattle and Portland formed E.A.T. chapters that brought together local visual, media, and performing artists with engineers from Boeing and other regional technology companies in the summer of 1968. Robin Oppenheimer will present clips from a video about Billy Kluver's early work with artists and a documentary of Robert Rauschenberg's "Open Score" 9 Evenings performance that includes archival footage and recent interviews with the artists and engineers involved. DORIS CHASE, a Seattle & New York E.A.T. artist, will also be present to comment on her participation in Seattle's arts scene in the late 1960s. Performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * OTIS FODDER: In his first Seattle performance since he returned from the Ideal Festival in Nantes, France (where he played with artists from Lydia Lunch to Sigue Sigue Sputnik), Comfort Stand Records founder OTIS FODDER will dj exclusively-selected 60's rare ecclectica - from Moog to Lounge to soundtrack music and found sounds - from his incredible archives. Find out more about Mr. Fodder at http://www.otisfodder.com. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BONUS: S.O.A.P. (Seattle Outsiders Artists Project) will be doing a 21+ science fair this April 30th, and will be giving out flyers (and maybe a little plug) for their event at this month's meeting. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 09: TIME TRAVEL with ROBIN OPPENHEIMER, DORIS CHASE and OTIS FODDER WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 7th APRIL at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattle.org <http://www.cocaseattle.org/> for directions) - NOTE NEW LOCATION BRING: Work in progress, anything you'd like to share or discuss DRESS: MINI SKIRTS AND VESPAS RSVP: PLEASE RSVP to dorkbotsea at dorkbot.org.

Positioning the University
During spring semester, the Office of Communications launched a redesigned virtual newsroom, using a new content-sharing platform that makes it even easier to publish and share news and information about Cal State San Marcos. Some of the key improvements include an updated visual design featuring prominent photos, a media gallery with downloadable images, better integration of social media and a design that responds to the viewer's screen, including optimization for mobile devices.
When the Cocos Fire broke out on the hills behind CSUSM on May 14, the Office of Communications put its crisis communications plan and upgraded news site to the test.
As the University evacuated students and employees, canceled finals and postponed commencement, staff in Communications worked diligently to keep all stakeholders apprised of the latest news and developments, publishing updates online as well as on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Recently PR Daily, the most visited public relations blog in the world, profiled CSUSM's communications response to the wildfires. Click here to read the article.

Giggle, giggle indeed, Kendall Jenner.
Kim's baby sisters stole a sliver of the Instagram spotlight for themselves after Kylie—and her crop top– posted a photo that includes model sibling Kendall in a bitty bikini.
Ah, spending your days lounging poolside and laughing? Well done, ladies. Although it's a shame Kylie wasn't in the mood to take a dip.
"get off me bae" she captioned the image. Teen angst? Maybe. Or perhaps Ms. Ky was too busy continuing her Kimsformation. See photos for evidence:
Believe it or not, the youngest spawn of Kris Jenner turned 17 just a mere two weeks ago. I know. I know. The extensions. The lips. 17 is the new 37.
What do you think of KJ's new look? Time for mama Kris to take away the makeup artist?

No one has the market cornered on Vampires, Dekal - they are a tried and true icon that'll never go out of style, so dont come out of the gate immediately comparing yourself to someone else; you'll not only drive yourself nuts doing that but you'll also give people a preconception to view your work through instead of viewing it for what it is.
Personally I see a big improvement for you on this one.
The woman standing really commands your attention, she has a very unique look and you successfully gave her a readable, feminine, seductive energy; which is much harder to conjure than just slapping a half-naked woman on canvas with the cleavage center stage *cough* which is what I do *cough*.
I notice you give lots of attention to the faces, it definately shows, and you did some great value work with the hair as well. I would love to see you devote some of that focus to the other areas in the work, the arms in particular I think might benefit from another look.
Good job and best of luck to you

wow the 2 sickest dudes in this contest both came to cheer me up
randis - thanks man. means a ton that you stopped in here
cryptcrawler - your totally right. i guess i just dont have the confidence in my work that i should. but reading your comment definately topped off my day. your right about everything. i hope one day ill be able to understand how you do what you do without any ref.

I spend an inhuman amount of time drawing and when I practice I use nothing but photo reference, by doing so I study light; so when I sit down to draw from my mind I can recall it most of the time.
If I get stuck ill go hunting down a photo, but thats always after ive started, not before; so if I do find something similiar I have to re-imagine it lit how I need it to be lit and in the position I need it to be in.
Its a painful excercise that ive practiced for years, its not an overnight matter. Trust me, it takes is 5% talent and 95% ball-busting and making sacrifices in your life to draw as much as possible, there's nothing special about it, and im *far* from where I want to be.
Im just like you man - another artist trying to get better.
I think you have plenty of confidence and theres plenty of strength in your choices, you just have to be willing to experience more pain and spend more time at the desk.
Its tough to do, there are so many distractions in life, but it comes down to one question: How bad do you want it?

Crits and comments.. lol
hmm.. well - I like your shadow and light tonal usage it looks very very good. I also find your human dynamics and structure to be right there where they need to be. Your background matter does a very good job of deffering attention back to your vampire subjects.
Now with all critisism there are the con's - I don't think you challenged yourself enough with the subject matter & composition
-that was my problem except the opposite I over challenged myself with my composion & subject matter

This is good stuff, man, and no doubt.
Since you're looking for some crits, I'm going to offer and hope I say something helpful.
The rendering gets too flat for my tastes in many places. The trees recede, but then they stop receding, and feel like a backdrop six feet behind the subjects. The figures skin rounds nicely, their hair a little less so, and their clothes much less so. I understand trying to control focus and all, but the fabric below and to the right of the arms feels like it would be more satisfying if it had more volume and depth to it. It feels rather haphazardly indicated. The shadow the clasped hands cast onto the dress really flattens it out.
Your anatomy feels good, but not impeccable. The lower girl's cleavage/shoulder girdle feel a bit lopsided to me, and how the forearm of the clasped hand recedes would probably be improved if the elbow was kicked out to the side a bit.
The hand around the wrist isn't quite convincing to me, I feel I should see a significant plane change from the wrist to the back of the hand, and from the back of the hand to the fingers, and I don't quite feel it there.
One place that has some potential for really lovely contact and cast shadows and reflected light, etc. is the contact between the upper vamps breasts and the lower vamps shoulders. I think some extra work there would kick in some needed depth.
Hope I've said something useful -- ignore me if I haven't.

Jason C-M - totally man. thanks for the crit. your pretty much right about everything. i put about another 15 minutes of tweaks into the image. biggest change is the cleavage. im just burnt out on the image. i put so much time and effort into it. thanks though

Kampala — THE body of Shaban Kirunda Nkutu has been discovered 32 years after Amin's regime kidnapped and murdered him.
Nkutu was works, housing and communications minister and Busoga South-East MP in the Obote I government.
The body was exhumed from a mass grave in a cemetery in Masese, Jinja by the family, the Police and pathologists last
November. The remains were flown to South Africa but it was impossible to carry out a DNA test given the duration.
However, three of the men who secretly buried Nkutu in 1973 helped the family conclude it was his body. The men said Nkutu's body was in a yellow shirt and red underwear without trousers when they buried it. They said his body was the sixth nearer the surface of the grave. The discovery puts to rest the family's agonising search for his body and the cause of his death.
Nkutu was kidnapped from his office in Jinja town, taken to Jinja Central Police Station and later Gadaffi Barracks. His body was dumped in River Nile, retrived and taken to Jinja Hospital mortuary before it was smuggled out for the secret burial.
A Mulago pathologist said he died of gunshot wounds, citing a hole in his skull.
The remains that were exhumed from the Mailo Mbiri cemetery, will be accorded a decent burial by his family on February 12, in Busesa, Bugweri county, Iganga district.
In a moving statement yesterdsay, the family spokesman, Conrad Nkutu, said, "The family has been deeply wounded and aggrieved by the violent and illegal killing of the family head and his secret burial at an unknown location, for the past 32 years." Conrad, one of the sons of the late Nkutu, is the managing director of The Monitor.
The location of his grave followed an extraordinary chance encounter in Semuto, Luweero district between a member of Nkutu's family and one of the grave-diggers.
Conrad said his father was one of several former ministers of the Obote I government murdered by Amin between September 1972 and January 1973.
He said the grave diggers were ordered not to talk about the burial lest they are killed and that the Police kept watch over the grave for a fortnight. He said Amin made an impromptu visit to the cemetery after the burial.
The family yesterday said the discovery gave the family a chance to close a painful chapter and hoped that the grim details would contribute to the respect of human rights by governments.
The identification of the body was not scientific because a DNA test was impossible because the bones were too old. But the family said the evidence from the grave and the grave diggers was overwhelming.
"The deceased person exhumed from the top of Grave Seven is indeed Shaban Nkutu," Conrad said.
The three grave diggers are Ibrahim Sengendo, Twaha Magale and Experito Kalema, the former headman at the cemetery.
They said Nkutu's grave contained five other masikinis (poor people) who had been buried four days earlier and that the body of Nkutu was the sixth and last, separated from the other five by a layer of soil. This was confirmed.
Nkutu's grave was the seventh in a line of several others, which they named ekifo kyo mutawana (a place of danger) because of the dozens of persons murdered by the state and buried there.
Nkutu was abducted on January 11, 1973 from his Scindia Road offices in Jinja by Amin's soldiers, the Police and the State Research Bureau in broad daylight.
His nephew, Twaha Magala and his driver, Abdul Muloyiva, were among a dozen of people who witnessed the kidnap.
The family believes that Nkutu, 42, was murdered on the night of January 11, 1973 at the Gadaffi Barracks and said his murder was a "violent, criminal, extra-judicial killing by the then government of Uganda, led by Idi Amin."
Born on November 15, 1930, Nkutu served as an MP for Busoga South East.
The constituency used to cever the present day Bugweri, Kigulu and part of Bunya counties and the whole of Bugiri district, from independence in 1962 to January 1971.
He was the parliamentary secretary for economic affairs in the Office of the Prime Minister, a deputy minister of education, deputy minister of works, a Chief Whip, minister of health and minister of works, housing, transport and communications.
He was also the national chairman of the Uganda People's Congress (UPC).

By Gary Bogue
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012 at 5:43 am in ARF, Cats, Tony La Russa's Animal rescue Foundation.
Adoptable adult cat available at Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation. (ARF photo)
This Saturday and Sunday, July 21-22, are the last days you can adopt an adult cat from ARF with NO adoption fees!
Hi Gary,
We are coming up on our last weekend of our Cat Independence Days event where all adult cats have no adoption fees. We would really appreciate a push to try and make the most of this event and clear out the shelter to enable us to save more lives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a photo of one of our adoptable adult cats (above) and the press release follows. Thank you for your continued support.
Kendahl Stein, ARF, 2890 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, California

All adult cats go home with no adoption fees July 5-22
ARF, 2890 Mitchell Drive, WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA — Ask not what a kitty can do for you, but what you can do for a kitty! During Cat Independence Days, July 5-22, Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) liberates all adult cats six months of age or older from their adoption fees. All standard adoption criteria apply.
With their sparkling personalities already established, it's easy to find just the right cat to set off some fireworks! ARF has plenty of American beauties waiting to join your family. Bring home a new feline friend and let freedom ring!
Before adoption, all cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, wormed, checked for feline leukemia and FIV, and microchipped. Adoption hours are Wednesday, noon – 5 p.m., Thursday – Friday, 3 p.m. – 7 p.m., and Saturday – Sunday, noon – 5 p.m. Stop by ARF to check them out at 2890 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, or get to know them online at http://www.arf.net
ARF saves the lives of loving dogs and cats who have run out of time at public shelters, giving another chance at life to animals who otherwise would have been killed. ARF provides the care and attention they need, including spay or neuter surgery, until a new home of their own can be found.
ARF's People Connect programs strengthen the human animal bond for the elderly, residents of assisted living centers, high school students, grade school students, and young children through programs that are national models of excellence. ARF programs allow people to experience the unconditional love and acceptance of dogs and cats. People rescuing animals…animals rescuing people
I hope this helps find homes for all your adult kitties! Good luck! /Gary

Does it work with macbook pro?
Looking for a headset that I can use with both my iPhone 4 (for phone calls) and my MacBook Pro (for VOIP and Skype).

Yes, BUT it gets confused with both in range. I turn bluetooth off on iPhone to use with Mac rather than hassle the mixed signals, so that is a negative. Sound is good though.

GREENHEAD - The 2013 - 2014 school year has ended, but some parents and neighbors in the Greenhead community are challenging a school bus stop policy they say is putting their children in danger. The policy in question is one that prohibits school buses from traveling down some dirt roads or privately owned roads in an effort to protect private property owners from damage to the roads by school buses and to also protect school buses from damage from low hanging branches.
Richard Wakely of Shoreline Drive says he and other neighbors hope to convince the Washington County School Board to pass a clause in its blanket policy before school begins in the fall.
"The policy puts four children, ages six through ten, in danger by having them cross one of our county's busiest roadways," said Wakely. "Four times in as many months, cars have failed to stop when the bus had its stop sign out while dropping off children. This site has been the scene of many accidents, and locals have actually nicknamed the 45 degree curve 'Deadman's Curve'. I don't mind picking the children up from the stop. I'm only concerned about the dangers the stop poses."
The News was unable to receive requested documentation from the Florida Highway Patrol of past accidents.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Schools Joseph Taylor explains each bus stop is evaluated for safety on a case by case basis.
"The drivers are involved in this process, and we get reports and opinions from them. Student safety is paramount."
Wakely states before the policy was implemented, the bus would travel down the wide, dirt-packed Shoreline Drive route, which features a circular turnaround.
Wakely says he's brought the bus stop to the attention of school system Transportation Director Mike Park and Taylor, and he was unsatisfied with their responses.
"I was told they don't want a law suit for driving down a privately maintained road, and if they change the policy for us, they will have to change it for everyone," said Wakely. "I even presented a petition by the neighbors who said they would grant permission for the bus to drive down the dirt road."
Superintendent Taylor says the school board is currently reviewing all bus stops and will consider Wakely's request.
Wakely says he will voice his concerns and request action when the Washington County Board meets in regular session Monday, June 16.

There's a new ad campaign for Vitamin water. And that's great; new ad campaigns are great. But just as a general rule, probably new ad campaigns should make sense and not needlessly include a an ambiguous racial reference. I didn't major in marketing or anything, but I get the feeling that chapter one in any marketing text book probably says something like, "Hey…don't be, like, weird about Chinese enclaves for no reason."
Now this is pretty New York-centric so let me break it down for you in case you don't live here. Canal Street and Chinatown are both things in New York. That's it. Oh, you still don't get it? That's because the ad makes no sense! Why bring Chinatown into it in the first place? I mean… this guy can't even explain it to Jack Nicholson:

Publisher's Description
A year 2000 Finalist in the ECPA book competition!Accounts of injustice from our own communities and from around the world often leave us feeling outraged and helpless. We wonder what we can possibly do in response. And we wonder where is the God of justice?Jesus, however, said, "Take heart! I have overcome the world." Gary Haugen sees the truth of Jesus' claim vindicated throughout Scripture, which portrays a God who rises up against injustice.He also sees this truth in the lives of sometimes little-known Christians who through the years have courageously confronted evil when they saw it. Here he tells stories of these witnesses of hope in a hurting world.The good news about injustice is that God is against it. God is in the business of using the unlikely to perform the holy, Haugen contends. And in this book he not only offers stories of courageous witnesses past and present, he also calls the body of Christ to action. He offers concrete guidance on the ways and means its members can rise up to seek justice throughout the world.

Bob's World
Australia faces a serious healthcare challenge if current trends continue. If Australia were a person, they would be Bob. Give Bob an age & location and find out what health risks Bob faces in the near future.
We wished to create a visualisation that was fun, inviting a little bit cheeky, and appealing for a wide range of audiences. We thought it was important to give that extra layer of meaning to the data, making the data exciting and engaging through narrative.
Who is "Bob"? how has he changed over the years? What does living within different demographics do to his health? Where will he be in the future?
Initially we had planned for our visualisation to be far more interactive, with an opening interface page, where you would be able select an age group and then select whether they lived in a urban, regional or remote area.
We wished that after you met Bob and took his daily walk with him, you would be able to click on various buildings like the "local pub" or burger hut and see how lifestyle choices affect our health. Click on the nursing home to learn about the ageing population, or the hospital to see the diminishing workforce.
You would also have noticed that as the years pass by and grow so does bobs waste line, further emphasising these trends through visual narratives.
Though we did not accomplish everything we set out to, we are hoping to revisit this visualisation at a later stage.

We recently finished an interesting book about our interstate highway system. "Big Roads by Earl Swift" (Houghton Mifflin; 2011) tells the story about those who created the efficient while simultaneously maligned network superhighways.
Nearly 47,000 miles long, the interstate highway system is considered the greatest public works project in history. According to Swift, it incorporated some three hundred million cubic yards of concrete, enough to fill sixty-four Louisiana Superdomes to their roofs.
It also transformed America.
As he sets out to tell this tale, Swift relays his own experience as he set out across the country by car. Along the way he frequently came to find three parallel networks of roads reflecting various periods in American road building and travel: The old original Lincoln Highway, America's first highway dating back to; its successor U.S. 30 and then finally Interstate 80, four sleek lanes of concrete, "its speeding semitrailers unfettered by cross traffic or slowpoke tractors, by blind driveways or train tracks".
About these parallel routes, Swift writes, "On the old Lincoln, we'd tooled along. On U.S. 30 we toured. On I-80, folks were hauling ass".
Such highway archeology can be found here in New Jersey as well.
For example, there are not many left now, but once in a while you can still find an old state road bridge that tells the story of New Jersey's earliest state highways.
Most have been replaced. But the few that still exist provide some insight to how it was when the car started to take hold in these parts – now some 90 plus years ago.
It was in 1916 that the initial system of state highways was legislated, and by 1917 the state began to take over roads from the counties. By 1922, the routes were marked. U.S. Route numbers were added to some of the main routes in 1927.
An initial renumbering was attempted in 1926, but according to available histories on the subject, it did not work out well.
Every state highway, even those forming parts of U.S. Routes, was assigned a number at that time. Some short routes were assigned prefixes of S; for instance, Route S26 was a spur of Route 26 south of New Brunswick (One prefixed and suffixed route – Route S4A - was also defined as a second spur of Route 4).
As the system grew, some numbers beyond 50 were used, but most new routes received prefixed or suffixed labels.
In addition to eliminating many "N/S" roads (i.e. Route N-4), many roads were designated with new numbers at that time. They generally followed a general geographical pattern from north to south - 1-12 in northern New Jersey, 21-28 roughly radiating from Newark, 29-37 from Trenton, 38-47 from Camden, and 48-50 in southern New Jersey.
In 1953, a second renumbering was implemented. This was not a complete renumbering; instead, the only renumbered routes were those that violated a few guidelines (primarily long stretches of concurrent, especially with U.S. Routes; duplication of numbers with U.S. routes; suffixed routes; and number changes across state borders).
Some routes were shortened to remove concurrencies, while others, like a Route 25, completely disappeared. Numbers from 53 to 93 were assigned to renumbered routes, while shorter ones received numbers from 152 to 165.
In addition, the two planned toll roads — the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike were then going to be known only by those names – and not their earlier numerical designations (4 Parkway and 100 respectively).
The majority of new numbers assigned since the 1953 renumbering have been from 166 to 185, with some short routes instead receiving numbers based on their parents (An old section of U.S. Route 9 became Route 109).
A little confusion was caused by the assignment of Interstate Highway numbers in the late 1950s (Route 495). In the 1990s, many bannered U.S. Routes were as state routes.
A look at three prominent roads gives one an idea about this evolution into what we now take for granted.
For example, what is now U.S. 46 was originally designated as three separate state routes. Pre-1927 Route 5 was created in 1916 to follow the road from Delaware to Denville, pre-1927 Route 12 in 1917 to follow the route between Hackettstown and Paterson, andpre-1927 Route 10 in 1917 to run between Paterson and Edgewater.
In 1927, Route 6 was legislated to run from Delaware east to the George Washington Bridge, replacing portions of Routes 5 and 12 and paralleling the former Route 10, which itself became Route 5 and Route 10N, the latter being shortly removed from the state highway system.
In 1936, U.S. 46 was designated to run from U.S. 611 in Portland, Pennsylvania east to the George Washington Bridge. The route replaced Pennsylvania Route 987 to the Delaware Bridge over the Delaware, and from there followed Route 6 across New Jersey. In 1953, the Route 6 designation was removed from US 46 in New Jersey, and later that year, the route was realigned to end at U.S. 611 in Columbia, New Jersey, replacing a part of Route 94. U.S. 611 had been brought into New Jersey by two new bridges over the Delaware River, following a freeway between them that became a part of I-80. By 1969, U.S. 611 was aligned back into Pennsylvania, and U.S. 46's western terminus remained as an interchange with I-80 and Route 94.
Similarly, Route 4 has a story that would surprise and confuse even the most Jersey-savvy. The route was originally legislated in 1927 to run from Cape May to the George Washington Bridge. This route replaced pre-1927 Route 14 between Cape May and Seaville, what was planned as pre-1927 Route 19 between Seaville and Abescon, pre-1927 Route 4 between Absecon and Lakewood and South Amboy and Rahway, and a spur of pre-1927 Route 7 between Lakewood and Freehold, with the rest of the route to be built on a new alignment.
The present-day routing of U.S. Route 9 between Cape May and South Amboy and Route 35 between South Amboy and Rahway bore the Route 4 designation prior to 1953, when the route was defined onto its current alignment. Several spurs of Route 4 existed before 1953 and the Garden State Parkway was originally planned as a bypass of Route 4 that was to be designated Route 4 Parkway.
Today's stretch of the route (Fort Lee to Paterson) was completed by 1934, not long after the opening of the George Washington Bridge in 1931. It was planned to be upgraded to a full freeway, but plans never materialized. Despite this, the route has seen improvements, such as to the interchanges with Route 17 in 1999 and with Route 208 in 2002.
And then there is Route 17. Prior to 1927, the route was designated as Route 17N, which was to run from Newark to the New York state line just north of Mahwah. This route had followed various local streets, including Paramus Road and the Franklin Turnpike north of Hackensack. In 1927, Route 17N became Route 2, which was designated along the portion of Route 17N between Route 7 in North Arlington to the New York border near Suffern, New York. This route was moved to a multilane divided highway alignment north of Rutherford by 1937. Route 2 became Route 17 in 1942 to match the designation of New York State Route 17 for defense purposes during World War II. The entire Route 17 corridor was once planned to be a freeway until the 1960s and later plans to extend the route south of Route 3 to Interstate 280 in 1972 and to the New Jersey Turnpike in 1987. Both failed.
When I last looked a few years ago, there was still an occasional bridge to be found on Route 17 with the prior Route 2, 1927 designation. The same is true for some structures on Route 46 which once had the State Highway 6 designation. It's been a while. I wonder if they still endure – especially as many bridges have been rebuilt in recent years.
To most, such matters mean nothing. They simply want to get where they have to be as fast as possible. But to some, those old bridges and their inscriptions are part of an interesting story to be told.

Standards of success
From Maureen Norrie
The overall thrust of Michael Bond's feature on how to succeed (8 March, p 30) seems to be that success is related to high positions in socially prestigious occupations, and to world-changing deeds, such as those recognised by the Nobel committee.
Linking such positions and achievements with intelligence relegates those roles on which we rely for survival to the less intelligent. Examples quoted are the police, craftsmen and clerical workers. Perhaps we should redefine success as the ability to do what our hearts' desire – and doing it well.

When it comes to judging the achievements of those in education, the one-size-fits-all approach of exams and league tables is convenient for administrators and politicians, so we are unlikely to see much change any time soon. However, the internet will constructively destroy the existing education behemoth. Distance learning and freely available online courses are the future. The message to the younger generation is to go out and grab the future, don't expect the older generation to hand it to you on a plate. Nowadays they do not know how to.

Slow life
From Peter Inkpen
Michael Slezak reports that the tools for cellular fusion may have been co-opted from viruses (1 March, p 16). Why then did it take around 2.7 billion years for cells to incorporate and adapt these viral genes for their own use? This Precambrian period is an unimaginably vast span of time representing many trillions of cell generations. In comparison to the most recent 600 million years, characterised by the enormous diversification of plant and animal species, it seems as though life was stuck in an evolutionary slow gear for most of the Precambrian.

Off radar
From Harry Hopkins
The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 (15 March, p 6) brings the disadvantage of secondary radar to the fore, which is that the aircraft has to be "cooperating" to be seen. Primary radar is primitive, but it gives a picture of everything in the air around. The nuisance of the primary radar beam reflecting off rain-bearing clouds was one of the main reasons it was relegated, and now its main civilian role is to keep an eye on the development of these storm clouds. There are primary radars around the Gulf of Thailand, it is surprising and disappointing that useful data on the vanished flight's path did not quickly become available.

Cave calendar
From J. Malcolm Wilkinson
Reading a book on Stonehenge and other prehistoric structures by Gerald S. Hawkins, I came across some doodle-like patterns that resembled the ones shown in Alison George's article on cave art and the origins of intelligence (23 November 2013, p 36). The examples from caves in Canchal de Mahoma and La Pileta in Spain show a series of spots and lines that have been interpreted as recording the phases of the moon. Could the same explanation, a primitive record of the moon's phases and seasons of the year, apply to the drawings from El Castillo in your article? Perhaps the world's oldest calendar?

Green bills
From Paul Sax
I am surprised to see an important point missed in Reg Platt's discussion of energy-saving policies (15 March, p 28). The more consumers save energy, the less profit that private energy companies would make, therefore prices would rise to maintain profit levels. That is just one reason these companies sabotage those government-led energy-saving policies now referred to as "green crap" by UK prime minister David Cameron's "greenest ever government".

Welcome weed
From Bill Alexander
Your article on New Zealand's shake-up of its drug laws showed how it is leading the way on drug prohibition (8 March, p 40). If only the country would decriminalise people growing marijuana plants for their own use, as several parts of Australia have done. It used to grow wild on the roadsides in New Zealand and was so easily available that it was sometimes sneaked into commercial cigarettes by tobacco workers. In the late 1960s, because of the tax potential, the effects on lowering alcohol consumption and the proliferation of "hard" drugs, marijuana was reclassified as a "dangerous" drug. At the time I was the national police reporter for the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation's radio and television news. A high-ranking officer in the Wellington Drug Squad told me that the police were not worried by young people's use of marijuana but had a growing problem with "hard" drugs sourced through what they described as medical "professionals".

Vanishing brains
From Guy Cox
The topic of Boltzmann brains is raised once again in Joseph Silk's look at the philosophical challenges facing modern cosmology (8 March, p 26). But he doesn't mention that in Boltzmann's time the universe was seen as static. In such a universe, with infinite time, any interaction can take place. We now know that the universe is expanding and this seriously changes the picture. The further apart particles are, the less likely any particular interaction becomes. This expansion is accelerating, so with the passing of time it becomes less and less likely that Boltzmann brains could form. If there aren't any around now, the probability is against there being any in the future. Bye-bye Boltzmann brains.

The entry of Kenyan Asad Anwar has heightened the level of competition in the Mbarara Motor Club (MMC) Sprint at Lubiri this Sunday.
According to the event coordinator, George Ssemakula, the fast rising Kenyan driver will use veteran Wycliff Bukenya's Mitsubishi Evo9.
"To encourage foreign participants, crews have been allowed to share cars. That has made it easy for drivers to come for this race. In the same spirit we could also easily participate in their race," Ssemakula stated.
The Kenyan female crew of Stella Macharia andco-driver Helen Shiri will drive Ponsiano Lwakataka's Subaru N8. The Kenyan ladies are particularly eager to gauge themselves against 2011 Uganda national champion Susan 'Super Lady' Muwonge.
African champion Mohammed Essa from Zambia was the first to confirm participation in the sprint that has so far attract 36 drivers.

Sorry I ment what you said about "Has it ever been wrecked. (CarFax report, if available in your area)". That I cant do. The rest of course.
So in Europe you can't test drive it, ask if it has ever been wrecked, get it inspected, ask where it was bought from or to look at maintenance records? Interesting....
Posted 25 December 2012 - 17:13
Whatever car you're after, there will be an owners club forum for it. On there will be buying guides or other threads where people have asked what to look out for.
Could you tell me a few of those hundreds? Ive been looking around but cant find any decent forum.

Comments about K2 Rival Helmet:
This helmet is very light, compact and has a nice fit. I also own the Smith Variant Brim which is a great helmet but slightly heavier. The venting is only on the front and lower back. Works great for cold or snow, not so good for spring conditions.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Where Would You Rather Be Wednesdays: beaches, wine farms and gardens
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
It's a beautiful, warm autumn Wednesday in inspirational Cape Town, and that makes me wish I was rather frolicking in the cool waters of Hout Bay's gorgeous beach.
Take advantage of the fabulous weather and spend a great day outdoors in the Mother City today. Whether you're admiring the views of the city from Signal Hill, exploring the historical treasures of the Russian STS Sedov tall ship at the V&A Waterfront or hiking up Table Mountain, there is something for everyone in the beautiful Mother City.
If you're still in need of some inspiration of Where You Would Rather Be this Wednesday, have a look at what your fellow Cape Town fanatics have to say:
"I see myself at Moyo's at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. That is an absolutely beautiful place." – Liezl Daniels
"I would rather be at Alluvia Wine farm in Stellenbosch, in front of a blazing fire ... enjoying a glass of their finest Cabernet Sauvignon." – Lianti Loubser
"10 min away from my home ... breath taking views and yip ... cosy warm atmosphere inside the restaurant ... (Pedlars On The Bend ... stunning restaurant and Constantia Uitsig as well..." – Juliana Kolb Manzoni
OK, so you're suitably inspired and now I need to know from you Where Would You Rather Be in Cape Town this Wednesday.

Photo By KHOURobert Durst, acquitted in 2003 in the death and dismemberment of his Galveston neighbor, now is accused of urinating on candy bars in a drugstore.
GALVESTON - Real estate heir Robert Durst, known for beating a Galveston murder charge a decade ago and a pattern of erratic behavior, is scheduled to be arraigned in a Harris County court next week for allegedly urinating on a cash register and candy display at a Houston pharmacy.
Durst, 71, appeared in court Wednesday to post $5,000 bail on a charge of criminal mischief. He is accused of ruining 108 candy bars, valued at $150.96, on Sunday afternoon at a CVS pharmacy at 6011 Kirby Drive, according to an affidavit by a Houston police officer. His arraignment is scheduled for July 30.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to six months in jail and fined up to $2,000.
The affidavit said that Durst purchased a prescription and afterward "exposed his genitals and urinated on the register and candy bars." The store manager recognized Durst, who lives a few blocks away in the posh Robinhood Towers, as a regular customer.
Durst "did not seem agitated or argue with the clerk," the affidavit said. "He casually walked out of the business after he was done urinating."
Chip Lewis, Durst's attorney, was not immediately available for comment Thursday.
Lewis said earlier this week that he had phoned police to assure them that there was no need to make an arrest and that he would "make sure (Durst) presented himself to answer the charges."
Durst was never arrested and remained free until he appeared to post bail.
Video footage aired by KHOU-TV showed an elderly man in a short-sleeve shirt with what appeared to be a long scar on his head shuffling down the street outside a court building Wednesday and not answering a reporter's questions.
Durst was acquitted in 2003 of shooting an elderly neighbor, chopping up the body and stuffing the parts in plastic bags before dumping them in Galveston Bay. Durst claimed self-defense.

I have a couple of Anything Slider basics, that I'd appreciate a hand with:
1) on the simple.html page, I can not identified where/how to edit the row of navigation buttons. Would like to a) delete most b) rename 2-3 and c) insert a custom graphic on that row
2) I remember seeing a version of AS, where each panel adjusted to the natural size of the graphic. My first two panels are horizontal (2″ x 3.5″), but the third is a vertical layout ("3.5 x "2). How can I get AS to reshape accordingly (as opposed to stretching the graphic to a preset sizing)?
Thanks, in advance, for time and energy spent in responding to this call for help.

Home > Education > Continuity
The fundamental training experience in outpatient medicine for categorical and primary care residents is a supervised continuity experience managing a panel of primary care patients. Residents see their own patients in a weekly continuity practice in partnership with attending physicians. Over half of our residents maintain a practice at the Internal Medicine Associates, the largest internal medicine practice at MGH. Other resident clinic sites include group practices at the main campus and health centers affiliated with MGH in the greater Boston area.
Incoming categorical and primary care interns inherit a panel of approximately 75-100 patients from a graduating resident and supplement their panels with new patients who are referred to these practices from the inpatient medical service, the emergency room, or the MGH Medical Walk-In Unit. Referrals may also come from family members already in the resident's practice, MGH physicians, or the MGH Physician Referral Service. Over the course of three years, residents build their practices to approximately 100-125 patients. Because residents remain at the sites for three years, this continuity allows residents to develop long-term relationships with their patients.
Residents see patients one-half day per week when on inpatient rotations throughout the three years of training. Whenever residents are "on-call or post-call" from inpatient rotations, their clinics are flexibly scheduled to an alternate day to assure they are well-rested when practicing outpatient medicine and to limit the strain between duties as a primary care doctor and as a member of an inpatient care team. During ACR, residents have 3-4 clinic sessions per week and on electives or ASRs, residents have 2 clinic sessions per week.
At each practice site, residents work with a team of health care professionals that includes patient care coordinators, nurses, and nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners often follow many patients along with the residents, particularly if the patient has a need for frequent visits, education, or other services. This collaboration provides residents with valuable experiences working closely with a team of healthcare personnel.

By 2020 the British Antarctic Survey will be recognised as a world-leading centre for polar research and expertise, addressing issues of global importance.
The Mission of British Antarctic Survey is:
The structure of the Earth is very complicated. Its many parts link together in different ways over vast ranges of space and time. Understanding how the system works, and in particular how it is responding to ever-increasing human pressures, is arguably science's greatest challenge. Within the Earth system, the Antarctic, although it is geographically remote, is of special relevance. The Southern Ocean, its sea-ice cover and the great Antarctic ice sheet are important parts of the climate system. The Antarctic environment provides a sensitive indicator of global change. Antarctic sediments and ice cores tell us about the history of past climate, which can help us predict the climate of the future. Seizing these opportunities for important global research will teach us more about the processes that affect everyone.
British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is an international leader in Antarctic science relevant to global problems, carrying out science that is excellent, relevant and important. But we can and must do more, widening our focus to include the whole planet (now called Earth System Science). Our strategy outlines how we are going to achieve this goal.
To achieve the BAS Vision, we have identified seven priorities for the period 2002 to 2012. These are to:

The Cognitive Robotics Research Centre studies different aspects of cognition and intelligent behaviour with an emphasis on cognitive capabilities in robots.
Understanding the structural and interaction-related principles behind the emergence of intelligent behaviour is the greatest scientific challenge of the present time. Studying these principles in robots is advantageous for two reasons.
- While robots face all the complexities of real world interaction, they are easier to study than animals, including humans. Animals provide working examples but, for practical and ethical reasons, we cannot easily manipulate their control systems for experimental purposes. Robots allow us more freedom to explore different principles for autonomous control.
- By reproducing intelligent behaviour in robots we can automate tasks that are undesirable or dangerous to humans.
The Cognitive Robotics Research Centre is led by Dr. Torbjørn Dahl and is physically located in Room D22 on the City Campus. The centre is funded partially by the University of Wales, Newport, by the Newport Business School, by Science Research Infrastructure Funding (SRIF) from the Higher Education Funding; Council for Wales (HEFCW), partly by a research grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and partly by a research grant from the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

editorialBy Daily Observer
Sunday will mark the 18th Anniversary of the July 22nd Revolution, a revolution that laid the foundation for ambitious vision which has continued to trail all sectors of national development.
The revolution, which was wholly embraced by the young and old, ushered in a change of leadership that Gambians had for a long time been yearning for. Massive developments streamed in within a short period of time and Gambians mobilised in unison to praise the 'soldiers with a difference'. Accountability, transparency and probity were institutionalised, while corruption and nepotism were flushed out of the administration of public affairs.
A new wave of consciousness and awareness among the masses was evidently conspicuous in the political andsocio-cultural terrains of the country. Unprecedented developments in the country's political history became the order of the day. In short, a new Gambia was born on July 22, 1994.Suffice it to say, the Revolution came into being with a purpose and clearly articulated objectives forself-determination and sustainable development of the country.
This revolutionary leadership has demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubts its commitment to the promotion of national identity and unity as well as the improvement of the lives of our people in both the moral and material sense. One needs not much to see the advancement in the political process, economic development, social emancipation and progress, cultural revitalisation and promotion that is accompanying the Revolution.
18 years today, the revolutionary leadership did not in any way distance itself from the core pillars that brought it to administer the affairs of people -accountability, transparency and zero tolerance for corruption, all benchmarks with which a revolutionary government can be measured. Above all, the Revolution saw the commencement of projects such as construction of roads, establishment of health facilities, construction of schools, and establishment of the first University Extension Programme in the country and subsequently the University of The Gambia (UTG) in 1999.
Apart from the numerous developments registered by the Revolution, there is ample evidence that it has fully incorporated the authority of the people in an everlasting and inclusive manner in governance. The Revolution has given the masses a wide scope to achieveself-confidence and to control their political, economic, social and cultural resources.An independent electoral commission was established by the Revolution, in addition to a locally architected constitution and revival of the country's judicial system.
A change of attitude on the part of the citizenry, particularly on the part of our youth is therefore essential to complement the efforts of the government in our development process. It is widely argued that every government is a reflection of its people. Therefore, the extent of popular participation will determine how well a government will serve its people.
What we should do now is to continue to manifest a high spirit of support and loyalty and be in solidarity with the efforts of the government. Remember, 18 years has placed us on a greater path to success than ever before in the annals of our history.
