Simple yet shapely, this brushed steel finished beauty has an understated appeal. The dignified hour glass stem has a pleasing thickness at either end. The lamp shade is made of a natural linen fabric and features an intricate knife pleating. It comes with a 3-way socket allowing you to control the lamp's brightness.
nice looking contemporary lamp. Well constructed. The shade would look great with the lamp except it has to many seams and makes it look cheap. Going to get a different shade.

ACE Summer 2012 Faculty Experiential Learning Institute Was A Success!
Look for news about a Summer 2013 FELI...
The ACE Faculty Experiential Learning Institute is a five-day transformative learning experience designed for community college faculty and administrators. During this professional development workshop, participants experience effective communication and leadership curriculum, and often experience significant renewal and inspiration.
The FELI is an experiential workshop, meaning that each attendee participates as a learner, instead of as a faculty member learning to teach ACE curriculum. For both those who want to teach in the ACE program and those who want to learn and apply the concepts in classrooms outside of the ACE program, this workshop offers the opportunity to enrich one's self both personally and professionally, and is an excellent way to be introduced to ACE.

The ASUS S400CA Touch Ultrabook seems like quite a good deal on the surface: $699 buys a touch screen, Windows 8, an attractive design and good battery life. We found it also bought a solid selection of ports, reasonable build quality and relatively good sounding speakers. What it doesn't buy is a satisfactory user experience. We'd recommend spending a bit more for a computer with a better quality display before recommending the ASUS S400CA. There's not enough substance here to allow us to give it a full recommendation.

With its base features and price tag, the ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T is not that different from most other ultrabooks. What sets it apart from them though is the 14-inch touchscreen display which is very beneficial to the Windows 8 experience but at a price similar to competing 14-inch ultrabooks.

14.0": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Samar Badawi a déclaré à l'AFP qu'elle avait déposé une plainte auprès du tribunal administratif de La Mecque (ouest) contre le ministère pour avoir dénié aux femmes le droit de se faire enregistrer sur la liste des électeurs en prévision du scrutin municipal, prévu le 22 septembre. Les Saoudiennes n'ont pas non plus le droit de conduire dans le royaume dont les lois s'inspirent d'une version rigoriste de l'islam. Celles-ci interdisent aussi aux femmes de voyager sans l'autorisation d'un tuteur, et les placent en position d'infériorité en cas de divorce ou d'héritage.
Tehmina Kazi wears modest western dress and believes in plurality and diversity within her faith, Islam. For her pains, she has been labelled a whore, admonished for not wearing the hijab and accused, inaccurately, of wearing short skirts by people she has never met, writing online. When she defended Usama Hasan, the London imam who faced death threats and was suspended from Leyton mosque last month after he said evolution was compatible with Islam, she had to go to police after receiving threats of her own.
The EWIC Scholars' Database is an invaluable listing of scholars from all over the world and from all disciplines whose work focuses on women, gender, and Islamic cultures. Based on the authors' database for the Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures, this free online publication is a fully searchable directory of connecting scholars, students, policymakers, and activists with each other and with NGOs, governmental agencies, research foundations, publishers, members of the media, and potential employers seeking researchers whose work specifically covers issues on women and gender related to Islamic cultures. The online database, funded by a grant from the International Development Research Center (Ottawa), is published at http://sjoseph.ucdavis.edu/ewic.
Hundreds of Syrian women have marched along the country's main coastal highway to demand the release men seized from their hometown, human rights activists said. Security forces, including secret police, stormed the town of Baida, going into houses and arresting hundreds of men after locals joined anti-government protests, according to the activists. Video showed a large crowd, most of them women, marching along the road leading to Turkey as they chanted: "We want the men of Baida."
In a bare, shabby side room in Benghazi's central courthouse, the hub of pro-democracy Libyan operations, Salwa Bugaighis talks animatedly, hardly flinching as gunshots ring out from the raucous crowds outside. They, like her, are in a mood that veers between celebration and defiance to anxiety. They flood the area of the seafront, which is littered with boards displaying caricatures of the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Qaddafi and stalls selling souvenirs since the eastern part of the country was liberated on February 20.
The UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders recently produced this report on the the situation of women human rights defenders. In response, the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition, of which MADRE is a member, produced this statement that was read at the Human Rights Council.
This report is based on a Musawah research project on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women ('CEDAW' or 'the Convention') that examined States parties' justifications for their failure to implement CEDAW with regard to family laws and practices that discriminate against Muslim women.
بدأ سباق رئاسة الجمهورية واعلن عدد من الرموز السياسية في مصر نيتهم الترشح لمنصب رئاسة الجمهورية ومنهم عمرو موسي والبرادعي وايمن نور والصباحي وخلت القائمة من الجنس الناعم. ثم أعلنت الاديبة انس الوجود عليوة عضو اتحاد الكتاب عن نيتها الترشح لرئاسة الجمهورية كأول سيدة تعلن ترشحها لهذا المنصب وذلك عبر صفحتها علي الفيس بوك.
The preconceived notions about the working conditions of NGOs in general and feminist organisations in particular would seem to apply in this case. Behind a website crammed with a wealth of high-quality information in seven languages, successful campaigns, projects, and calls for solidarity, a lot of hard work is being done in backstreet offices. The international co-ordination office (ICO) of Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML, www.wluml.org) is situated in North London. Here, in a roughly thirty square metre corner of an old factory, five women and a handful of unpaid volunteers work, network, raise funds, publish, debate, and co-ordinate the work of a global network. The diversity of the team – which comprises women from Pakistan, Italy, Sweden, Nigeria, and England as well as people of Christian, Muslim and atheist orientations – is in itself a reflection of what WLUML is all about, namely bringing a diverse range of women with their different life experiences together, across national borders, questioning and overcoming existing gender orders together, and demanding gender justice. Women Living Under Muslim Laws is a name that invokes a variety of associations. However, behind these five carefully chosen words is a clear message.
On March 12, 2011, women human rights defenders from Palestine and Israel marked the centenary of International Women's Day with a historic conference at which the following contributions were made: Ilana Hammerman: The "Entry to Israel" law is illegal and should not be obeyed; and Rivka Sum: The attack in Itamar proves that we should continue to work daily together to end the impossible occupation.

One year after she was abducted at gunpoint and taken on a daylong trek in the back seat of her Lincoln Town Car, Vi Ripken still can't help worrying when she pulls into a parking spot and another car pulls up behind her.
Ripken, the 75-year-old mother of Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., said in her first interview about the abduction last July 24 that she often finds herself startled by "thoughts you shouldn't be thinking." Her captor remains at large, and police are again appealing to the public for clues.
She said she is working on finding a balance between being scared and being vigilant.

Aberdeen, MD, USA
"I didn't want to go and hide," Ripken said as she took in a game at the Aberdeen IronBirds' stadium that bears her family's name. "I felt like if I keep away from things, it's not going to be very fun for me. I just had to face it.
"I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't want to be made to feel like I did."
The bizarre kidnapping drew national headlines and attention to the tiny Aberdeen community that closely identifies with the Ripken baseball dynasty. Vi Ripken still lives in the community where she raised Cal and his siblings with her husband, the late Cal Ripken Sr., once the Orioles manager.
Chamber of Commerce President Steve Johnson said the community is taking its cues from the Ripkens.
"Vi still gets out and walks around," he said. "That really sets the community at ease. The attitude of the Ripken family and Vi herself has made people feel a lot more comfortable. Life goes on."
Aberdeen police say the case remains open and on Wednesday sought the news media's help in distributing the suspect's photo, a sketch and video that had previously been released. "No additional details regarding the suspect or his motive have been developed," the department said in a news release.
Ripken was abducted at gunpoint from the garage of her Harford County home where she has lived for nearly 50 years. She was bound in the back of her car and driven around Central Maryland for nearly 24 hours.
A neighbor found her unharmed and waving a white sweater out of her car window after she was dropped off within yards of her home. Nearby, police were setting up a perimeter.
"Whatever was on this person's mind, I can just be thankful I wasn't hurt," Ripken said. "The why and everything else maybe will come one day."
Aberdeen police declined to discuss the case, and other law enforcement agencies that assisted in the investigation deferred comment to local authorities.
Ripken said she's not privy to the ins and outs of the investigation and that police asked her not to describe the details of the kidnapping publicly.
Some details have emerged, however. Shortly after her return, a longtime neighbor recounted information she had relayed about the ordeal, including that the suspect blindfolded her, but lit cigarettes for her and gave her food.
The suspect is believed to be white, in his mid-30s to mid-40s, roughly 180 pounds and about 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He had short brown hair and glasses.
The video is a 35-second clip that shows him shopping at a Walmart in Glen Burnie.
Ripken said she has confidence in the Aberdeen police.
Still, she said, "I'd much rather ... he would have been caught."
Ripken said her daughter, Elly, wouldn't allow her to be alone for a time after the incident. But after a while, she started returning to the beauty salon for haircuts and stopping by the IronBirds games. She eventually resumed her old routine.

For years, Kid Acne has been synonymous with the urban landscape of Sheffield. After exhibiting work all over the world, it seems fitting that his hometown is playing host to his first solo show, Kill Your Darlings.
The exhibition at Millennium Galley features an eclectic mix of comic books, record sleeves, flyers and fanzines. As well as commercial commissions, large scale sculptures, paintings and a short film.
Don't make the mistake of dismissing Kid Acne as just another graffiti artist jumping on the Banksy bandwagon. For the best part of two decades he has worked to establish himself as an illustrator, graphic designer and musician.
With a host of records, comic books and a T-shirt collection for Prada to his name, Kid Acne is quickly becoming a global brand.
Kill Your Darlings celebrates the DIY ethic and often transitory approach of Kid Acne's work.
"It's about showing the early work and where I started out and it's about showing how I developed along the way," he explains,
"but once it's done I want to move on, I don't want to have to keep referring to the past."
The show takes its name from the writers' motto referring to the painful process of cutting cherished characters or scenes which don't serve the overall story.
For Kid Acne Kill Your Darlings marks the end of a chapter.
It is rare that you get the opportunity to trace the development of an artist's work in one exhibition. Particularly spectacular in the case of Kid Acne who began creating graffiti as an early teen.
Kill Your Darlings provides the audience with a unique journey that shouldn't be missed.
Kill Your Darlings runs at Millennium Gallery until 23rd October.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, September 29, 5:00 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: FAU Stadium (30,000) -- Boca Raton, Florida. Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: North Texas 1-1, FAU 1-0. Away Record: North Texas 0-2, FAU 0-3. Neutral Record: North Texas 0-0, FAU 0-0. Conference Record: North Texas 0-1, FAU 0-1. Series Record: FAU leads, 6-2.
GAME NOTES: A pair of Sun Belt Conference foes will face off on Saturday with each looking to bounce back from rough starts, as the North Texas Mean Green visit the Florida Atlantic Owls at FAU Stadium.
It has been a grueling first four weeks for North Texas, which is just 1-3 entering this matchup. The Mean Green have twice faced nationally ranked squads (LSU and Kansas State) with both ending in losses. A 14-7 loss to Troy last weekend gave the Mean Green consecutive losses for the first time this season and also drops them to 0-1 in conference play early on.
The schedule has not done any favors for FAU either in the early going. The Owls have had back-to-back road games against SEC powers Georgia and defending national champion Alabama. The Owls were outscored 96-27 in those two contests. With a loss at Middle Tennessee (31-17), the Owls have also dropped their first conference contest. Only a 7-3 win over FCS opponent Wagner has the Owls in the win column.
Consecutive victories in this series by North Texas have begun to chip away at the dominance that FAU held through the first six games of the all-time series, all wins for the Owls.
With such heavy competition early in the season, North Texas has not really been able to find a rhythm on offense. The Mean Green are only averaging 19.0 points per game, which is the third worst mark in the conference. The low scoring comes even with the team averaging a respectable 372.8 yards of total offense per game.
Quarterback Derek Thompson has been erratic, especially in terms of completing his pass attempts. Thompson is completing only 55.4 percent of his throws. Thompson's has thrown for 732 yards total this season with four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Brelan Chancellor has been a versatile offensive weapon. He leads the team in receiving yards (254) and touchdowns (4), while also rushing for 102 yards and score this season. With Chancellor added to the running game that has been powered by Brandin Byrd (71 carries 263 yards) and Antoinne Jimmerson (47 carries, 305 yards), the Mean Green have had a solid ground attack this season, ranking third in the Sun Belt.
If there is an area that head coach Dan McCarney can look at positively this season it is on the defensive side of the ball. North Texas is tied for second in scoring defense (24.3 ppg) in the Sun Belt, while ranking third in total defense (362 ypg).
Against Troy last weekend the Mean Green stepped it up to slow down one of the conference's best offensive attacks, holding the Trojans to a season-low 14 points, while allowing only a single red zone trip.
Three different players have amassed at least 30 tackles this season for North Texas, in Lairamie Lee (37). Zachary Orr (34) and Derek Akunne (31). Zac Whitfield already has two interceptions and four passes defended.
After the first four games of 2012, FAU is the lowest scoring and least productive offense in the league. Part of the issue is that the Owls have played two of the best defenses in the country in Alabama and Georgia, but the team's 12.8 points and 279 yards per game averages need drastic improvement.
Quarterback Graham Wilbert has completed 65.9 percent of his pass attempts this season and has five touchdowns to only one interception, but has only been able to throw for 603 yards. He was especially stifled last week against Alabama when he managed only 34 yards passing, completing a mere 7-of-13 pass attempts.
The Owls did manage to create more yardage on the ground against Alabama, although the team's 76 rushing yards came with a 2.4 yards-per-carry average. No running back has really established themselves as the go-to back with Damian Fortner (41 carries, 162 yards, TD), the primary ball carrier while having the squad's lone rushing touchdown.
Williams Dukes (12 receptions, 162 yards) and Byron Hankerson (10 receptions, 152 yards, 2 TDs) are the two best pass-catchers on the squad.
Unfortunately for FAU, its defense has not been able to keep the Owls competitive, with the squad ranking second to last in the conference in total defense (477.8 ypg), while allowing a hefty 32.5 points per game. It bears repeating that part of the issue has been the level of competition the first few weeks, but the unit certainly needs improvement.
There are also three different players on the FAU defense that have reached the 30-tackle plateau already, in Jeremy McKnight (35). David Hinds (33) and Brent Harstad (31).
Based on early results neither of these teams look to be squads that will factor in the Sun Belt Conference title chase this season. If either of the teams can, it's North Texas thanks to its strong defense.
