What about the most critical tool in all of clinical research? What about the database? Is there an optimal design for all sponsors? How can the needs of operational speed, on the one hand, be balanced with the demands of analysis and reporting about the operational realm?
Is the proper model for the database one large, unified centralized database that contains everything the company needs to know? Or is a federated approach, with linked subsidiary data reservoirs, the preferred solution?
Folks, we need help on this. What follows is our brief understanding of an unfolding debate in the industry. This question may have ramifications for the user experiences at clinical sites, and therefore for the rate of adoption of technology generally.
Reconciling the needs of operational teams (people who gather and clean data) and the needs of managerial teams (which analyze and report on data) will not be easy. A pure focus exclusively on the operational needs may ensure faster system performance--but require middleware that may or may not work. The unified data warehouse, on the other hand, may facilitate better analysis across multiple trials but impose draconian, unthinkable compromises on stakeholders (perhaps Phase I study teams) who need more specialized, custom-tailored solutions to get their work done. Some data warehouses, we dimly recall, have had lofty ambitions that have never quite been realized.
Here's the bottom line.
Electronic data capture is here to stay. Data warehouses are here to stay. What should connect them? How big and massive should clinical trial databases be? Will a federated approach be easier--or only appropriate for smaller companies that have not made major investments in Oracle databases? Readers are invited to write the correspondent with opinions, facts and real-world experiences.

Shrinking displays, growing resolution
By Darren Quick - June 12, 2009 1 Picture
While most of the focus is on bigger and bigger displays, microdisplay manufacturer, Kopin, has gone in the opposite direction, producing the world's smallest 600 x 480 resolution VGA color-filter LCD. The tiny display, which measures just 0.27-inches diagonally, was made possible by shrinking the color dots down to a mere 2.9 x 8.7µm (microns) - to put that in perspective a strand of human hair is about 100 microns wide.

50 year old woman | Maugansville, MD, USA | Seeking men 40-52 within 50 miles
One day, you'll find someone who doesn't care about your past because they want to be your future.
Well, for starts, I believe in fate. I can't say that I'm really looking for anybody in particular. I just know that somewhere in this big world, there has to be someone like me! I'm easy-going, but yet spontaneous and adventurous. I am multi-faceted and enjoy a variety of things from A to Z. Too many to list on here. I am very young at heart, and I'm told I don't look or act my age. I believe in living life to its fullest. Just need to find someone to do those things with me. I'm all about having fun, but I'm also mature and responsible. I'm willing to try anything within reason at least once. My two favorite things that begin with the letter "H" are Harleys and Horses! I'm currently working on obtaining my motorcycle license. I haven't skydived yet, but I might be willing to take a leap of faith with the right person :) I have soloed twice though. Yeah, I'm a little bit of an adrenaline junky. I tend to have a sense of humor. It's not intentional. Just part of who I am. And I can be flirtatious with the right person, too. Life is never boring with me . . . I'm told my smile is one of my best qualities. The other is my kind heart and sense of compassion for all living things, especially animals. I've raised everything from opossums to squirrels. They've since been released back into the wild. I have an innate passion for writing, photography, animals, and science. Before becoming a photographer, I owned a pet shop, grooming salon, and a K-9 training center for 10 years. At present, I have two cats that keep each other company since I have some overnight travel with my job. I was raised with good, old-fashioned morals and values by two loving parents. I had a great childhood growing up in a waterfront community near Annapolis, Maryland. I come from a scouting family; therefore, I enjoy hiking, camping, skiing, boating, fishing, crabbing, horseback riding, marksmanship, archery, etc. I love anything to do with the great outdoors. I love both the mountains and being on the water. I'm a member of Gold's Gym, and enjoy Kickboxing, Body Combat, Zumba (Latin dance), etc. I go to the gym because it's a great stress reliever, and I like the way it makes me feel about myself. I'm not afraid to throw my hair up on my head and sweat. If you're looking for Olive Oil or Ms. Perfect, that's not me. I am what I am, and I'm a work in progress. Too many people are single because they are looking for the perfect person. To that I say, "Good luck in your search!" On the flip side, I like quiet time at home with the right person, a good movie, and a bottle of red wine. I'm romantic by nature, and a love bug when you get to know me. Good chemistry is still important to me in a relationship. I also enjoy comedy clubs, dining out, etc. Dress code depends on who I'm with, and what I'm doing. I can wear a pair of hip waders or put on a pair of high heels. I prefer my blue jeans most of the time. I have country roots, but yet I'm a classy woman. You get the best of both with me. I am an independent thinker, and enjoy learning. I am always striving to better myself, and those around me. I attribute my successes in life to my optimistic attitude, and try to surround myself with only positive people. I'm looking for someone, who likes to laugh and smile. A sense of humor is a plus. In closing, I would like to find someone who is understanding of my busy schedule. I am currently working full-time and going to school full-time. I'm a straight "A" student with a 3.78 GPA. I will graduate with my MFA in Creative Writing for the Arts Entertainment Industry in March 2013 with honors. Just finished my first 120-page screenplay (film). The only thing I'm missing in my life is someone special to share it with. I'm worth the wait. I promise!

I tend to enjoy anywhere that involves travel, so that makes them all my favorites!! I have grown particularly fond of cruises lately. My favorite hot spot is actually a campsite, located along the C & O canal that holds many childhood memories.
Towson University, Towson, MD
It's the simplest things in life that tend to bring me the most pleasure.
I'm always up for new adventures, especially anything outdoors. But I like the finer things in life, too. There doesn't always have to be a game plan. Sometimes, it's nice to just get in the car and drive, and see where we end up!
Anything to do with screenwriting (film) especially those written by Syd Field. I am in the process of re-reading them to perfect my craft.

42 year old woman | Dallas, TX, USA | Seeking men 38-52 within 50 miles
Active within 3 days
A wise person once told me that before you find the right person be sure you get out of debt, stay out of bed and clean out your closet.
That was from an Andy Stanly podcast. ie: debt is not attractive so get out of it, don't sleep around and, understand 'why' when you get "bumped" you react in a way that maybe makes people back away. Get it? There's my lesson of the day!:) I like to have fun and have been told I'm funny;), energetic, curious about too many things, love to laugh and smile; above average in attractiveness (am told anyway), talent and intelligence; outgoing and enjoy working out almost daily. I live an active,healthy lifestyle (I'm a clean eater think grass fed grass finish protein (frequent Local Yocal/love Chris Kresser) and green drinks, occasional, ok frequent dark chocolate indulgences and a really good bottle of red wine!;), watching/attending sporting events (Go Packers!) and the outdoors as well as live music small venues. I do also appreciate relaxing w a movie or good book. I strive for balance and peace. Travel whenever I can(feel a bit land locked in Dallas) picnics, watching sunsets, full moons, long walks on beaches and cooking dinner with a partner. Most of all I enjoy rich conversation. I am honestly not much of a drinker however will admit to being a bit of a wine snob. I enjoy growing relationships in general. Always looking for another life adventure. I have a wonderful job but that is not my identity. (anymore;)). I love life and people! AND as a close successful male friend who is always (sadly at times) BRUTALLY honest reminded me: I have serious street value! ;) Next level: I believe you have to have open, honest communication to build a relationship and intimacy-that means face to face not text to text. There must be a spiritual connection and foundation on Christ to make it through life with a partner. I don't believe you can be partnered with someone who is not a believer in the same god. For me it's Jesus Christ. He makes sense. What I am looking for: What everyone wants! I am not looking to serial date. Like to find "the right guy" who is kind and giving and thus follow all the traditions of falling in love with those awesome emotions, romance, passion;marriage, sharing the adventure of life together. Amore!:). That would be goal of dating. Not desperate but also not about wasting time as we all have so little of it. Who doesn't want to marry their best friend? Who doesn't want to be with someone who can bring out the best in you and visa versa, laugh like there's no tomorrow, yet challenge each other on occasion, grow and lovingly call each other out when necessary without anger or fear (think this is called quality conflict management skills. I am no expert at it but will attempt it like I would a challenging hike because it can take the relationship to an even higher level:)! Character, integrity, kindness, courage...those are the qualities I am looking for and build upon personally. I am a follower of Christ. Again, more Andy Stanly style versus fire and brimstone, rules and rituals of religion. I am more about the relationship and learning what pleases Him each day; how to really 'love' better in general. I don't like living in conflict. Relationships should not be frustrating when done right. I am a church goer so alas, am not interested in someone no matter how irresistible who isn't into sharing the seat next to me eventually. I get how we tend to drift a little over the years. I am not looking for perfection just a real and solid good honest guy. Oh btw: if you 'hate' your "ex" that translates "drama" (see clean out your closet)...I prefer to back away from drama. Family is of most importance as I have a fairly big one! I am the last of 5 siblings (thus the late in life baby!) We are all very close even if we live miles apart. I consider myself still new to the Dallas area (moved here from Santa Barbara, CA). I adore kids! Really ready to try this out with an open mind.

President Obama won't force Gadhafi out
Defends U.S. action to safeguard Libyan citizens
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama defended the U.S.-led military assault in Libya on Monday, saying it was in the U.S. national interest to stop a potential massacre that would have "stained the conscience of the world."
In his first major address since ordering U.S. airstrikes on the forces and artillery of Moammar Gadhafi nine days ago, Obama said the United States had the responsibility and the international backing to stop what he characterized as a looming genocide in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
"I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action," Obama said.
But at the same time, he said, directing U.S. troops to forcibly remove Gadhafi from power would be a step too far and would "splinter" the international coalition that has moved against the Libyan government.
"To be blunt, we went down that road in Iraq," Obama said. "Regime change there took eight years, thousands of American and Iraqi lives and nearly a trillion dollars. That is not something we can afford to repeat in Libya."
Speaking from the National Defense University in Washington, Obama said he had made good on his promise to limit U.S. military involvement against Gadhafi's forces -- he did not use the word "war" to describe the action -- and he laid out a more general philosophy for the use of force.
The president said he was willing to act unilaterally to defend the nation and its core interests. But in other cases, he said, when the safety of Americans is not directly threatened but where action can be justified -- in the case of genocide, humanitarian relief, regional security or economic interests -- the United States should not act alone.
"In such cases, we should not be afraid to act -- but the burden of action should not be America's alone," Obama said. "Because contrary to the claims of some, American leadership is not simply a matter of going it alone and bearing all of the burden ourselves. Real leadership creates the conditions and coalitions for others to step up as well; to work with allies and partners so that they bear their share of the burden and pay their share of the costs; and to see that the principles of justice and human dignity are upheld by all."
Obama never mentioned many of the other nations going through upheaval across the Arab world, including Yemen, Syria and Bahrain, but left little doubt that his decision to send the U.S. military into action in Libya was the product of a confluence of particular circumstances and opportunities.
The president's remarks were timed to coincide with the formal handover of control over the Libya campaign to NATO, scheduled for Wednesday.
Speaking for 28 minutes, Obama addressed a number of audiences:
To the U.S. public, he tried to offer reassurance that the nation was not getting involved in another open-ended commitment in a place which few Americans had spent much time thinking about.
To the protestors across the region, he said the U.S. would stand by them, even as he said that "progress will be uneven, and change will come differently in different countries," an acknowledgement that complex relations between the U.S. and different Arab countries may make for different U.S. responses in different places.

Kevin Smith: 'Alarmist Ninnies' Misinterpreted Sundance Outburst
The director explains in the current issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine his money-making plan for 'Red State' ('Why is that crazy?'), that he wasn't too stoned for 'Cop Out' and gives his state of mind.
But Cop Out only grossed a so-so $55.5 million worldwide, and the fact that it wasn't a Smith original didn't inoculate him when the movie was panned. Smith was unhappy enough that as recently as last month he continued to vent his frustration, complaining on the podcast WTF With Marc Maron. Working with Willis had been "soul crushing," Smith said, adding that the star failed to support the film. "A lot of people are gonna be like, 'Oh, you're just trying to blame the movie on him,' " Smith said. "I had no f---ing help from this dude whatsoever."
Days before Cop Out was set to open last February, the infamous Southwest Airlines incident happened. Smith was ejected from a flight from Oakland to Burbank, supposedly because the pilot had decided he was a "safety risk" because -- owing to his girth -- Smith couldn't put down his armrest. Naturally, Smith went straight to Twitter. "I know I'm fat, but was [the pilot] really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?" he tweeted. "I saw someone bigger than me on THAT flight! But I wasn't about to throw a fellow Fatty under the plane."
Smith kept at it, tweeting a photo of himself on the plane, adding: "Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!" When he arrived in Burbank on a later flight, Smith tweeted, "Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised."
Despite the humor in his tweets, Smith was deeply affected by the incident -- fearful, according to an associate, that he would be known from then on as the guy who was too fat to fly. He complained to the Los Angeles Times that the media had repaid his past openness by mocking him with fat jokes. "I have to say that the whole situation sickened me," he said. "All I saw was hatred and snarkiness and cynicism."
Smith scoffed at the idea that his tweets had turned the story into a viral phenomenon that attracted as much ridicule as sympathy. "That shows you how much the old media knows about today's universe," he said. "In the world of social media, where everyone has a cell-phone camera, this was gonna get out whether I wanted it to or not. So I'm not letting anyone tell the story but me."
At this point, he acknowledges that the incident was painful but calls it a baptism by fire. "Maybe that happened so I could withstand the shit I'm taking now for an idea that isn't even revolutionary," he wrote to THR. "It's simply indie rock."
What's not clear is whether the Sundance episode will turn into another source of distress or a triumphant declaration of true independence.
The challenges are clear. Smith says he is trimming Red State in the wake of mixed reviews. But even if it falls short, Smith already has his next film planned, and as long as someone in or near the industry thinks there might be money to be made, then Hollywood is a very forgiving place.
So while many in the industry might be allergic to Smith at this point, it's impossible to say he couldn't work on a studio film again if he really wanted. (He might seem to lack interest now, but a year ago, fresh off the experience on Cop Out, he said he'd do another studio movie "in a heartbeat.")
Of course, Smith might not need to do another Hollywood movie: Red State was financed by private investors, and his indie cred survives among some fans. Sales agent Cassian Elwes, who is not involved with the project, says Smith's ploy at Sundance was "brilliant" and "hilarious." Although Smith "probably pissed off the studios who schlepped over to see the movie," Elwes says, he "created a lot of hype and publicity about the movie, which is a good thing. And he can actually talk to audiences. He's a household name; he's using his celebrity in a smart way."
Sloss agrees that Smith is an industry unto himself and a trailblazer in terms of unhooking the filmmaker from the industry machine. Smith can sell out a few thousand seats in theaters, at $65 a ticket, around the country and even around the world. "It's easy on the surface to say he's losing his mind," Sloss says. "He's an emotional guy, but that's not what's going on here. There's a paradigm taking shape, and he's one manifestation of it."
Smith continues to tend his Internet flock in the aftermath of Sundance, and having lined up distribution consultant David Dinerstein along with Sloss and representatives at WME, he's clearly keeping an eye on business. He's selling tickets online for his Red State tour, kicking off March 5 in New York with subsequent stops from Atlanta to Minneapolis and Seattle to Boston.
According to Smith, his plan is realistic. "We'd be wasting money, advertising this to anybody but the audience that normally goes to see my flicks," he wrote. "On this March tour, we could CLEAR a million bucks and change -- and that'd be 25% of the budget back. Just in 15 or so single screenings. Why is that crazy?"
After the tour, Smith says he'll release the film theatrically through his nascent label, Smodcast. And then Smith says he's going to teach others to do what he does.
"If we can build Smodcast Pictures into a brand the way Harvey & Bob made the Miramax name stand for a specific kind of film -- then it can become a kind of no-budget service label for flicks we feel fit our ethos or can't find love elsewhere in the world," Smith said in a tweet to his followers.
It's a noble aim, but while Smith might have had the backing to muster $4 million for a movie and the following to assemble an audience with the click of a mouse, others don't. At this point, it's not even clear Smith can unhook himself from the Hollywood machine -- much less that he'll be able to free other aspiring filmmakers from their shackles.
"It's kinda boring," Smith admitted of his 2007 book My Boring-Ass Life, in which he collected blog posts from SilentBobSpeaks.com. "Wake up," reads a typical entry. "Take a shit while playing Tetris and update my online diary in my office 'til [wife] Jen gets up." His fans loved it, though, so he reissued it two years later with added pages about the making of Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

UT graduates STEM teachers
VolsTeach program aimed at teacher shortage
It took only one semester of classroom visits for Sarah Eakes to consider abandoning her pharmacy school plans in favor of teaching biology to middle-schoolers.
Eakes was intrigued by a free, introductory teaching course at the University of Tennessee worth one credit hour. The course was designed to encourage students in science and math disciplines to consider teaching as an alternative career path by giving them a chance to job-shadow teachers in local middle and high schools.
"I really liked it, and I was like, 'Uh-oh,'" Eakes, who was a junior at the time, recalled this week. "I always found myself tutoring people, not formally or getting paid, but just naturally I fell into that role. I was just curious and wanted to try it out."
Eakes received her degree Friday during a commencement ceremony at Thompson-Boling Arena, part of the first cohort of students to graduate from the VolsTeach program. She already has a job lined up at Karns Middle School for the fall. She will teach eighth-grade science.
VolsTeach, modeled after a similar program at the University of Texas at Austin, helps students in math and science fields to graduate with teaching credentials in four years instead of five.
The program seeks to address a national shortage of teachers in science, technology, engineering and math — or STEM — fields.
The model is being replicated at public colleges around the country, including Memphis and Middle Tennessee State universities.
With so few science and math teachers, middle and high schools often have to rely on professionals with a background in those subjects who are granted alternative licenses from the state.
"This has created problems because (these teachers) may know the content well, but they don't have a sense of instruction, students' needs and education requirements that teachers face in the classroom," said Susan Newsom, assistant director of VolsTeach.
UT started its VolsTeach program in 2010 and currently has 133 students. It's marketed as a way to attract students in STEM disciplines who had not considered teaching and as a shorter path to a license for students who already know they want to be teachers, Newsom said.
The traditional track, followed by students in other subjects and those wanting to teach elementary school, is to earn a four-year undergraduate degree in a subject. Students then immediately work toward a master's degree and teaching license during their fifth year.
The program has so far proven successful in placing graduates in schools, Newsom said.
Mindy Hopkins, another VolsTeach student who graduated Friday, will teach math at Cedar Bluff Middle School.
"I had a lot of influential teachers in my middle school years, and I still remember them," she said. "Math and science are both subjects where you feel like you're good at it or not. But I don't think that's true. There are different ways of explaining things or discovering topics or applications."

Eastern Nc Advrider Dinner!
Let's do this.
Sunday, July 22nd at 7pm.
Suggestions for venue? Any locals on board who can give suggestions?
What area do you want to meet, Fuquay like you had mentioned in a previous thread? Any ideas for what kinds of eats we are up for? I would not mind a burger type place, like Ruby Tuesdays, or even a Mcdonalds? I think those two cover the spectrum:D .
Yeah, in Fuquay. I'm open to suggestions for dinner.
I should be able to make it. One of the few places I've ate at in Fuquay is a China Buffet that is usually pretty good. But I'm open to most anything, hopefully not too fancy.
Eastern NC ADVRider Dinner...
I'm outta town in Collyrado. :cry
Good luck!
(There's that motorcycle shop/eats place in Raleigh at the Victory/Polaris dealer...name escapes me!) :huh
Sounds like a good idea. No idea on places to eat in Fuguay.
You want all you can eat, theres a Golden Corral and a CiCi's Pizza. Somewhat fancy burger joints include Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, and Remington Grille. Zaxby's is kind of a fancy fast food place. There is a Chinese restaurant but I am not sure what its called. Of course theres the Mcds, BK, Wendy's, Hardees, Arby's and Bojangles. Taco Bell is also there. My suggestions would be the CiCi's Pizza(love Itallian and all can eat) or the Golden Corral. Both are easy to find and not to crowded on Sunday evenings.
Forgot to add there is a Smithfield BBQ right beside the GC. Just about any kind of food you would want. We can decide on a meeting place then find out what we want to eat when in town.
Eastern NC ADVRider dinner...
Here's the area in Raleigh (follow link to map) where all the dealerships seem to be converging and moving too.
This is the Victory dealership with a motorcycle themed eatery attached I believe...
You can walk to the BMW/Triumph/Vespa/Piaggio dealer Capitol BMW across the street. Mattison (Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Aprilia, Ducati, Husqvarna, Moto Guzzi, etc...) is just up the road.
Oh, tons of places to eat in this area too...good luck fellas! :freaky
Maybe next time for that one, Ergo!
How about the Ruby Tuesday in Fuquay?
1260 North Main Street
Fuquay-Varina, NC, 27526
Sunday, July 22nd, 7pm
Sorry dualsporters, I don't have GPS coordinates, you'll have to use an old-timey MAP! :eek1:lol3Or maybe ASK someone for directions! :cry:cry:lol3
Be ready to eat, drink, tell lies, and compare rides. :wink:
Here's a picture of me (but I probably won't wear the kilt to ride down). :huh
WOW... glad I saw this thread in time. I SHOULD be able to make it. It's about 1-1 1/2 hours form Wilmington.... I'll just super-slab it the whole way. I still need to check with my wife and make sure she doesn't already have plans for me for Sunday, though.
Well, my wife has to work on Sunday....not a usual thing, but she gets off at 3:00 so I can be there. Is this still going to happen?
I havnt mentioned it to the wife yet, think I should break it to her now? lol Shouldnt be a problem tho. Even if I dont eat(which is unlikely) I will meet up there for at least a little while.
Edit: I will ride by tomorrow evening to get the GPS coordinates for you GPS geeks :)
I gotta catch an early flight to Calif. Monday morning...but I'm planning to come along....even if I can only stay an hour!
Look forward to meeting some local advriders:beer
Well, this will be my first one of these. My name is Robert and I'll be on a black Honda CB750 Nighthawk with cortech soft bags & trunk on it. I guess I'll just look for the other bikes.

Our dear, departed Cy Young winner appears on three separate pitching leaders cards, a regular-issue card and its numerous parallels, and various and sundry insert sets. Among those inserts is this Memorable Moments card, which commemorates Dickey's back-to-back one hitters from June of last year. This was of course a staggering achievement, but what really makes this card for me is the comic on the reverse.

"The Academic mission and copyright law: are these values in conflict?"
Keyser, Marcia W.
MetadataShow full item record
Subjectcopyright; higher education; library; libraries; course readings; e-reserves; electronic journals; computer research; foreign films; copyright education programs; Drake University. Cowles Library.
If the academic mission of a university is to foster teaching and research, and the purpose of copyright is to "promote the sciences and useful arts," where is the conflict? It is in the day-to-day use of copyrighted materials, and the growing enforcement of anti-infringement policies. When professors and students use readings, graphs, images, recordings or publications in any format, someone is likely to be paying a copyright clearance fee. In some circumstances, such a fee is not necessary but it is paid out of fear or misunderstanding of the law. In other circumstances, it is the result of overzealour enforcement of clearance fees or of stringent anti-infringement policies. This presentation will outline several situations in which copyright enforcement has interfered with the academic mission at a typical institution of higher education. Examples include prohibited uses of articles or graphics from licensed electronic databases; overpriced course readings provided via commercial copy-shops or via E-reserves; computer security research; campus film series; and some dubious educational efforts produced by copyright enforcemnet advocates. It will conclude with a look at two potential solutions: better licensing, and open access publishing.
Marcia W. Keyser is currently an instructional librarian at Cowles Library at Drake University. She is also responsible for teaching an Information Literacy course. Marcia can be contacted via email at email@example.com

A radiant 'Renaissance'
Exhibit stresses pure form and color
By Cate McQuaid
Globe Correspondent
Leonardo da Vinci coined the painting term "sfumato" to refer to the blurring of usually sharp outlines to create a sense of depth. It was one of several techniques that contributed to the idealized realism - the spaciousness, the gorgeously described bodies - of Renaissance painting.
Photographer Bill Armstrong borrows images from the Renaissance in his exhibit at Gallery Kayafas, and, blurring the edges, vaults them into the realm of contemporary art.
Separating out individual figures, he re-creates them in paper cutouts, which he lays on brightly toned grounds. Then he opens his lens as wide as he can and shoots a lengthy exposure.
The radiant results are the work of a master colorist. Red pulses against blue; turquoise throbs against plum. Because the figures blur, they move toward abstraction. We can't read their expressions, but we can read their postures. "Renaissance 1014" sets a whitish figure against a serene, teal ground. The man might be Christ removed from the cross, falling backward, arms open, evoking surrender. The themes are typical of the Renaissance, but the stories are gone in this distillation to pure form and color.
Armstrong has a second body of work, based on obscure erotic engravings from the Renaissance called "I Modi," a brief, Italian Kama Sutra. Each features a couple. Armstrong gives each figure in the pair a different tone. Up close, they're a fuzz of colors knotted together. From a distance, it's easier to make out the twining of limbs. Still, abstracted and blurry, the erotic charge has drained from them. Straddling the line between abstraction and figuration, Armstrong's work teases the viewer's eye, refusing to settle on one or the other.
Daniel Ranalli, who teaches at Boston University, followed a philosophy class for a term, photographing their scribblings. He also visited other classrooms. Ranalli's sharp and strangely mystical digitally montaged photographs of chalkboards are also at Gallery Kayafas.
Ranalli has a fascination with ephemeral marks; in the past, he has shot patterns in the sand. His chalkboards reveal more visual information than I could have imagined. Erasures evoke the marks of a paintbrush. Bits of scrawl chatter and squirm. Complete words or equations grab attention like magnets. Then there's the surprising element of color - who knew there were so many shades of green and gray? Ranalli has even altered one to look gold. In all, these works consider space, mark-making, and color in a distinctly painterly manner.
In "Big Bang - Yin Yang," two green boards hover in an infinite space created by a blackboard, scribbled with formulae, erasures, and stray marks - a kind of intellectual galaxy. The words "big bang" appear on one of the green boards. The other one features a parsing of Eastern philosophy, including a drawing of yin and yang. Ranalli pairs vastly different realms of knowledge, and they fit together.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Chipper Jones in a New York Yankees' uniform? Yankees general manager Brian Cashman expressed interest Monday in the retired Atlanta Braves star as New York tries to shore up an injury decimated roster. "He'd be perfect," Cashman said. "I'd take Larry in a heartbeat. I think everybody would." Cashman added he didn't think the 40-year-old Jones, an eight-time All-Star during 19 seasons with the Altanta Braves, will have any interest. New York is missing third baseman Alex Rodriguez, sidelined until at least July following hip surgery, and first baseman Mark Teixeira, out until May because of a strained tendon in his right wrist. If Jones could slot in at third, Kevin Youkilis would shift over to first. Cashman also said that he has talked to 37-year-old Derrek Lee, who hasn't played since 2011, when he hit .267 with 19 homers and 59 RBIs for Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Lee, a first baseman, appeared to be intrigued by the situation. "Nothing ventured, nothing gain...

As homeowners we are becoming cannier about turning down the thermostat to save our pennies and the planet but are we as energy conscious when we get to work?
A new 1.3m project, being led by researchers at The University of Nottingham, is to look at people's attitudes to energy consumption in the workplace and how to encourage colleagues to work together in reducing their organisation's carbon footprint.
Drawing on technical expertise at Nottingham's Horizon Digital Economy Research and design skills of experts at The University of Southampton, the five-year study will also aim to deliver new 'energy display' technologies that will allow workers to visualise their energy use and potentially identify areas where further savings could be made.
Project lead, Dr Alexa Spence said: "Obviously at home there is a financial incentive to save energy as well as what's termed the 'warm glow' environmental and moral imperative. We want to find out whether these incentives still apply when people reach their place of work and to look at which strategies are most successful in encouraging people to engage with their energy use."
The research, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), will see the academics collaborating with industry experts including Arup and WilSon Energy, who conduct energy monitoring for companies and provide energy efficiency solutions to reduce companies' costs and their impact on the environment.
The researchers will be given access to some of the consultants' client base which will allow them to find out what workers are already doing to save energy, what would encourage them to be more energy efficient and decide the best way of motivating the workforce to make further savings.
Dr Spence said: "Energy is invisible and we often don't think about it. When we go to work we don't go there with the specific aim of using energy, we are far too busy thinking about doing

As of Thursday, March 15, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
When Rory Welsch got the job as Lovejoy girls soccer coach four years ago, he heard a group of freshmen had been wandering the halls of the school boasting of their skills. Skepticism set in. Freshmen could not be speaking this way, let alone have the ability to back it up.
Then Welsch saw Abria Allen, Derianne Buckley and Cheyna Williams perform on the field.
"They were starters from day one," Welsch said.
Four years later, Lovejoy's senior trio have become arguably the top players in Clayton County and given the Lady Wildcats a rarity in the annals of girls soccer in the county — three college signees on the same team.
Allen (Georgia Southern), Buckley (West Georgia) and Williams (Vanderbilt) have been at the forefront of Lovejoy's unprecedented success. The Lady Wildcats have made three straight state-tournament appearances, appear poised to make it four, and are favored to win a second consecutive region championship.
But they crave more. What they don't want to see happen is how each previous state-tournament appearance has ended — a first- round loss, the earliest possible exit.
"We know what we're capable of this year," Allen said, "so from day one we've been training the girls and making sure we've got the confidence level we need."
Allen and Williams get most of the attention up front. Together, the forwards have combined for over 180 goals entering this season. Buckley anchors the defense from her sweeper position, and Welsch says "she makes it look like there's two or three sweepers back there."
As much as the three hold influence over Lovejoy's success on the field, they've had almost as much influence off it.
Welsch is an assistant coach on the boys basketball team. During the team's recent state-tournament runs, seasons have overlapped, preventing Welsch from being with the Lady Wildcats when the soccer season begins.
That's not a problem with Allen, Buckley and Williams on the team.
"I put it on my assistant and those three leaders to lead the pack," Welsch said. "They're pushing everybody to get better in practice."
But their influence goes even deeper than that.
Allen, Buckley and Williams honed their skills playing year-round on the club-soccer circuit. They've faced the highest level of competition. Williams has even competed internationally, playing in Argentina, Costa Rica and Spain.
The average girls soccer player in Clayton County lacks that experience. Often times, team rosters are filled with girls who specialize in other sports, but lack the technical knowledge of soccer to be competitive on the state level.
That's where the trio comes in. They count at least three teammates who have joined a club team, and another who has returned to club soccer after a brief hiatus. They're playing year-round and favoring soccer over other sports they previously played.
Not surprisingly, Allen, Buckley and Williams have noticed a marked improvement in their teammates' skill and communication on the field.
"It kind of helps them understand the actual game," Williams said, "rather than just kick-and-run, as you might call it. They understand the game a lot more mentally."
Buckley added: "It's more organized now, because everyone knows their role in the game."
Welsch sees the improvement, too.
"They've rubbed off on the other girls a little bit," he said. "They've rubbed off in terms of work ethic and dedication. They've piqued the interest of the other girls."
What they haven't been able to do is get Lovejoy past the first round of the state tournament, and with every game that passes during their senior season, that goal feels more and more urgent.
And, yet, their motivation goes even deeper than that.
Surrounded by counties with deep histories of successful soccer, they stayed in Clayton County. They could have joined the Whitewaters, Starr's Mills and Union Groves nearby, comprised of players they compete with and against on the club level. Instead, they stayed.
As friends who started playing soccer together in the sixth grade, Allen, Buckley and Williams knew the path was set before them to play together at Lovejoy.
And, luckily for the Lady Wildcats, they took it.
"I think it's an honor for us to be able to show our county what we can do," Allen said, "and show other counties that with everything our school system's been through, Lovejoy prevails, and Clayton County can still overcome the negative news."

Pacific'O: Great Vegetarian menu
Laid-back oceanside dining that's just steps from the beach. Head past the long, elegant martini bar for a seaside table with the island's best view of Lanai across the Maui channel. The sleek, modern design inside flows seamlessly with the surroundings, but it's the umbrella-shaded tables on the patio that draw the crowds. Whether you're there for afternoon mai tais or a torch-lit evening meal, the seaside local makes for an amazing atmosphere.
Favorite Dish: Inspired Pacific Rim cuisine melds a broad range of influences with fresh Hawaiian ingredients. Creative seafood selections include prawn and basil wontons, and a catch of the day that's crusted with coconut and macadamia nuts. A vegetarian menu offers flavorful dishes including marinated, roasted tofu steak with Maui onions. The perfect finish to any meal is the pineapple banana lumpia--a warm, crunchy treat that's smothered in cool ice cream
The pacific'O restaurant...
The pacific'O restaurant diferent from pacific cafe in kihe that it is aldo very good but less formal...by hawaiian style formal is sandals shorts and aloha shirt for guys.
Favorite Dish: Their fish rap in a banana leave is a deliciouse dish.....it is set in the open beach...the only finne dinning in hawaii in the beach...and a brandy and a cigar make for a complit meal.

In brief: Validating her comeback from an extended absence, Serena delivered one of her most impressive seasons to date in a career that simply refuses to fade into twilight.
In detail:
As she languished for months through a series of perilous injuries and illnesses, Serena must have wondered whether her last moment on a tennis court would remain the trophy ceremony at Wimbledon in 2010. That fortnight of brilliance would have marked a worthy endpoint to a legendary career, while her comeback in 2011 appeared at times as though it would rewrite the script with a much less flattering ending. Although she won two North American tournaments and reached the US Open final, Serena suffered an embarrassing setback there against Sam Stosur in which she lost not only the match but her poise. When the new season began in Australia, moreover, a desultory defeat to Makarova spurred further doubts regarding the wisdom of her comeback. Even Serena sounded much less than convinced during early 2012, admitting—or purporting to admit—that tennis no longer captured her enthusiasm as it once had. An abysmal performance against Wozniacki at her home tournament in Miami, another event that she had dominated, suggested that the comeback had reached a crisis point.
Digging into the trenches of a clay that often had frustrated her, Serena mounted a resurgence on the green clay of Charleston and the blue clay of Madrid, the latter of which included vintage displays against top-three opponents Azarenka and Sharapova. Similar to Federer's simultaneous title charge, that futuristic surface ironically revitalized the ancien regime of the WTA with its affinity for heavy serving and first strikes, executed better by none than the American. But Serena did not return from her arduous absence to win Charleston, or even Madrid, for those triumphs would bear little impact on her legacy. She had returned to enhance her collection of major titles, and a shocking first-round loss to world #115 Virginie Razzano at Roland Garros suggested that she had progressed no further in that direction a year into her comeback. As Martina Navratilova might say, it was time to put up or shut up.
Wimbledon, then, loomed as a watershed moment for better or for worse in Serena's attempt to recapture her former glory. More than once during that memorable midsummer fortnight, her visit there threatened to end in a disappointment that would have damaged her confidence severely in the wake of her Roland Garros collapse. Most notable among these junctures was her third-round match against the persistent Zheng Jie, one of the few women whose steeliness could match Serena. Despite the vast gulf between their games, Zheng forced the former champion to hold serve three times to stay in the tournament—before the first week had ended. Still alive by only a thread, Serena then withstood a more unexpected challenge from Shvedova a round later, surviving a 7-5 third set more through pure perseverance than brilliance. Those narrow escapes behind her, she then faced a sequence of opponents far greater in talent against whom her margin for error would shrink.
As she had near the peak of her career, however, Serena found her best tennis at the precise moment when the tournament reached its pivotal stages. When her groundstrokes wavered, her serve propelled her through straight-sets triumphs over Kvitova and Azarenka, who could not match her hold for hold. A first-time major finalist in Agnieszka Radwanska appeared to pose a less formidable test, especially in view of her vulnerable serve. Cruising through the first set and a half with scant ado, Serena edged within range of a routine afternoon when her vaunted nerve deserted her without warning. Suddenly thrust into a final set against an underdog with nothing to lose, she did what she could not do at Roland Garros and willed herself to collect her composure, sharpen her focus, and carve a path through adversity. Her fourteenth major title certainly ranked among the hardest-earned of her career and surely among her most satisfying as well.
Back on British grass after a brief detour through North America, Serena delivered a performance at the Olympics that resembled her Wimbledon effort only in its result. Just the second woman (after Steffi Graf) to complete a career Golden Slam, she won the ultimate prize at the Olympics in both singles and doubles, the former for the first time. Whereas she had struggled through many of her matches in her first appearance at the All England Club, her second appearance featured nothing but dominance at a level as suffocating as anyone has achieved in the sport. Only once, against the unheralded Urszula Radwanska, did Serena lose as many as five games in a match, and she lost only seventeen all week. Crushing all four of the fellow #1s whom she played there, she thundered across the finish line with two of her most overwhelming victories to date against Azarenka and Sharapova, the women who joined her atop the podium and atop the WTA this season.
Not sated by her summer of redemption, Serena entered New York determined to erase recent memories from her home major, where most crowned her the clear title favorite. Unglued against Clijsters and against Stosur in her last two appearances, she had melted under the US Open's unique spotlight instead of embracing it. As much as she may have attempted to justify those embarrassing moments, she must have welcomed the opportunity to set the record straight with a more worthy achievement in this city of short memories. An accommodating draw sprinkled with upsets in her vicinity smoothened Serena's route to the final, before which she faced no opponent ranked higher than Errani or more accomplished than Ivanovic. Dismissing all of her first six challengers with authority, she brought the same air of conviction to the final and eased through the first set free from any obstacle to her supremacy.
At no phase of the tournament did Serena look detached or disinterested for long, however, even against the most hopelessly overmatched of her opponents. Vigorous fistpumps and glares of resolve illustrated just how deeply she desired this title, as did the tension in her swings and body language when her game began to betray her in the second set. Unable to halt the momentum of an emboldened Azarenka, Serena sensed that a match under her control had begun to spiral away from her, like the Wimbledon final. But this time she faced a proven major champion who could match her emotional intensity and nearly match her athleticism, so her predicament looked more dire than it had against Radwanska. As Azarenka built lead after lead in the third set, only to watch Serena claw back again and again, the escalating pressure on both women proved a true test of their resilience as well as spell-binding theater for the audience. One brief passage of frailty when the world #1 served for the match offered the veteran the opportunity that she needed, and Serena pounced with the alacrity of a panther before her prey could recover.
Already having accomplished more than any of her rivals in 2012, the American issued one last statement of supremacy at the year-end championships in Istanbul. Without finding her best form for more than intermittent passages, she nevertheless swept all five of her matches against top-five opponents without dropping a set. While the ranking positioned her below Azarenka and Sharapova when the season ended, even the casual observer could recognize who remained the best player in the world, a decade after she had established herself in that position.
Number to note:
1: the number of players who won more than one major in 2013. In an era of ATP dominance and WTA parity, which looked likely to end this year, few would have expected only Serena to achieve this feat.
