New Tools for Measuring Cultural Engagement
I was very pleased to be invited by the National Endowment for the Arts to participate in a lively symposium addressing perhaps the most important issue in the arts these days: how do we justify public funding for the arts?
For those of us who frequently attend arts and culture events, the question seems silly. Doesn't everyone realize that humans are hard-wired to respond to compelling stories and visuals, whether they manifest themselves as sculpture, video games, concerts or novels? Isn't it clear that music and movies can bridge the most profound political divides and move hearts and minds?
As we see arts programming melt away in cash-strapped public schools, we have to acknowledge the awful truth — that arts and culture is considered a luxury, not a necessity, and justifications for their value must be proven rather than assumed.
Both the NEA and the UK's Arts & Humanities Research Council, which co-sponsored the symposium, position themselves as agencies harnessing the power of art, culture and leisure to improve the lives of citizens and invigorate and strengthen communities. The problem, of course, is proving that their funding strategies actually achieve these often hard-to-measure goals.
Measuring Cultural Engagement: A Quest for New Terms, Tools, and Techniques summarizes a two-day session that brought together a wide range of researchers, using both traditional and new-fangled techniques, to describe and measure the myriad forms of cultural engagement that take place in all types of physical and virtual spaces. I'm hoping that this report will jump-start an international effort to revisit our presumptions about what counts as cultural engagement (Instagramming a photo from a museum, for instance) and taking advantage of new technology to better measure that engagement. Arts and culture organizations should feel more confident about the possibility of measuring the impact of their work, not only to fundraise but also to make the crucial course-corrections that all creative enterprises must make when they are committed to achieving complex goals.

Experimenting with Space & Reinvigorating Modernism
I'll be joining artists, critics and curators for a two-day conference about experimental art installations in modernist house museums. Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows that I was completely smitten with the Competing Utopias installation at the beautiful Neutra VDL House. It was a brilliant mash-up of East/West Cold War aesthetics and ideals that revealed how powerful and intellectually venturesome an art installation in a historic home can be.
And so I'm really excited to be involved in this upcoming conference October 4-5, 2014.
Invention: Contemporary Artists and the Modern House responds to the curatorial shift in the maintenance of house museums, in which directors are supporting increasingly transformative art installations that both challenge and celebrate the modernist landmarks. These collaborations with artists point to alternative preservation strategies, which move away from the conservation of historic homes as static objects and instead affirm the importance of human occupation and transformation. The conference will host a series of conversations between house museum directors, curators, artists and architects to reveal the curatorial motivations and artistic processes behind these interventions.
I'll be joining Mark Allen, the incredibly creative guy behind Machine Project, and Ted Bosley, the Director of the Gamble House, for an intimate conversation about Machine Project's playfully irreverent installations and performances at the historic Pasadena home. Be sure to check out the entire conference schedule (Oct 4-5), which takes conference goers to the marvelous MAK Center on King's Road (built by Schindler), the Neutra VDL house, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House.
All events are free to the public. To register for the conference, visit the registration page.
Inspecting Indian Vogue
As I was shedding my last bunch of rupees at Indira Gandhi Airport in New Delhi, I quickly snagged a copy of Vogue India to read on the plane. I was curious to see how different it felt from the American version, especially after spending two weeks crisscrossing Northern India.
One thing I'd been warned about before arriving is that women on the street do not – I mean DO NOT – wear the kind of revealing clothing that you see in Bollywood films. Head to toe covering is the standard; even short sleeves are pretty rare. Even when it's hot. Scorching hot.
Billboards and TV ads in India reflect the bodacious Bollywood ideal, but I can't recall seeing anybody dress like that in even the glitziest restaurants and hotels in Delhi.
Much of the recommended clothing in the editorial portions of the magazine also defied street conventions, including shorts, short skirts, form-fitting or whisper thin dresses (a big no no, I was told), and long skirts (OK) with equally long slits (absolutely not OK). There was also a gorgeous swim suit spread, but I had to wonder: where in India could they be worn? As far as I could tell, Western-style hotel swimming pools would be the only acceptable place.
Similar to American Vogue, the Indian version featured profiles of successful women, including a comedienne, a radical novelist, and a slough of Indian art collectors in Dubai. The issue had a very global feel – it was, for instance, the first place I glimpsed Adidas' fresh new World Cup garment collection, which they concocted in collaboration with The Farm Brand, a Brazilian fashion label.
I wasn't surprised by the insane number of jewelry ads; women in India are often not allowed to have bank accounts or real estate assets, but the jewelry is often all theirs (check out this NPR piece about Indian women's obsession with gold). Read the rest of this entry »
Fashion & Originality on the TED Radio Hour
Guy Raz interviewed me about the culture of copying in the fashion industry in what he called "maybe our best show ever." During the TED Radio Hour, we discussed the cult of originality and the fashion industry's constant creative incursions into the archives of fashion. The show also includes Steven Johnson on where ideas come from; Mark Ronson on sampling in the music industry and Kirby Ferguson on the ubiquity of remixing. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Measuring the Impact of Art
Last week I attended a high-caliber symposium co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the UK's Cultural Value Project. They brought together a dizzying array of researchers (demographers, cognitive scientists, arts policy wonks, "recovering" academics, etc.) to discuss how we ought to measure participation in arts and culture on the local, regional, national and global scale.
"Participation" and "engagement" are key metrics for arts institutions and their funders. But the inquiry often ends right there. I think the vast majority of people in the arts – including artists and administrators – take it as a given that art has a beneficial effect on society. I happen to agree with them. Wholeheartedly. But many powerful people in this world – including those who hold the purse strings – are not necessarily convinced. Funding for the arts is paltry compared to expenditures on science, where, lo and behold, we have a lot of convincing evidence about the importance it holds for humanity.

Myth Girls & the Art of Making Books
For several years now, I have been on the board of an experimental literary press where we have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to keep the printed book vibrant and alive. At Les Figues Press, we decided to publish books in unique dimensions and we coupled each author's work with the visual work of another artist, hoping against hope that the resulting physical object would convince even the most cyber-savvy readers to purchase our special little hunks of pulverized tree.
So I contantly keep my eyes peeled for efforts to revitalize interest in the printed book. My most recent encounter with an inspiring innovation was in Medellin, Colombia, where the intrepid forces behind Proyecto Liquido – a group that explores the overlapping territory in fiction, art, science and technology – had transformed an online short story published 18 years ago into a surprisingly layered tactile experience.
With a black rubberized cover (not unlike the one on my iPad), Kij Johnson's Chicas Miticas (Myth Girls) feels more like a machine than a book. Everything inside is dual: from the bilingual translation (Spanish and English) to the double-sided format (the book is basically composed of two pamphlets facing one another). While one side is devoted to a disturbing tale about the terrible cost of freedom, the opposite renders the story into sleek, hyper-polished illustrations by Oscar Gonzalez, one of the five collaborators who transformed Johnson's story into this unique material object.
If the book were simply illustrated, and bound in this surprising way, it would have been arresting enough. But three pages into the lushly animated version of this stark tale, you finally see a depiction of the main character, but only from behind, and rendered on vellum, so that you can see her ghost-like presence in two inhuman vistas, extended by a trifold. A few pages further in, you reach the material heart of the work, where lush illustrations bleed into layered vellum inserts and – I kid you not – a ripped quilted jacket is sewn directly onto the page.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
New Calumet Co. DA was assault victim herself
Gov. Jim Doyle last week picked a 33-year-old assistant prosecutor from Manitowoc County to replace Kenneth Kratz, who resigned after a text-messaging scandal.
Jerilyn Dietz said during her introduction that she herself had been the vicitm of a rape. She did not offer more detail, but the admission no doubt was meant to convince people that she, unlike her predecessor, really can relate to crime victims in a way that transcends prosecuting crimes and serving on boards can not. She said the experience prompted her to attend law school and become a prosecutor.
The Sheboygan Press today offers this profile of Dietz, a Door County native and UW-Madison graduate who wiil not stand for election until 2012.

FRANKFURT and NEW YORK, June 7, 2011 – Deutsche Boerse AG (XETRA:DB1) and NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) today announced that they have recommended to the Board of Directors of the holding company of the merged group, Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V. ("Holdco"), to pay a one-time special dividend of €2.00 per Holdco share from Holdco's capital reserves shortly after closing of the combination of Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext. The cash distribution is subject to certain approvals and conditions being met, including the approval of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Boerse AG and the Board of Directors of NYSE Euronext, which are both scheduled for June 16, 2011, as well as the Board of Directors of Holdco post-closing of the combination of Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Boerse AG and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of NYSE Euronext expressed their support of the measure based on the management's financial projections and following discussions within their Boards.
Reto Francioni, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Boerse and future Chairman of Holdco, said: "Deutsche Boerse has consistently followed a shareholder friendly distribution policy while maintaining an excellent credit rating profile in particular for the benefit of our Eurex Clearing and Clearstream businesses. The special dividend of €2.00 per Holdco share is a sign of the new holding company's intention to pursue both shareholder value creation and prudent capital management policies, reflecting client needs in an evolving capital markets environment."
Duncan Niederauer, Chief Executive Officer of NYSE Euronext and future CEO of Holdco, said: "The ability to provide a special dividend underscores the strength of the combined group, which will be a global leader across the spectrum of capital markets services, including derivatives trading and risk management, capital raising and equities trading. The superior cash flow generation of the combined group allows us to maintain a strong balance sheet, with the ability to pay robust dividends, repurchase shares and invest in new growth opportunities in the future."
Based on the share exchange ratios agreed under the business combination agreement, the intended distribution translates into a special dividend of €2.00 for every Deutsche Boerse share which is tendered in the current exchange offer (exchange ratio 1:1) and into a special dividend of €0.94 / US $1.37 per NYSE Euronext share (exchange ratio 0.47:1 and assuming an exchange rate of $1.46 per euro). The total dividend amount paid out by Holdco is expected to amount to approximately €620 million / US $905 million, assuming 100 percent acceptance by Deutsche Boerse shareholders in the current exchange offer.

Woodstock Gets in the Swing of Mozart's Anniversary at Festival
Byline: Bill Gowen
This is the "Mozart Year," as the world continues to honor the 250th anniversary of the birth of arguably the greatest composer who ever lived.
So, the Woodstock Mozart Festival is appropriately joining in the celebration, not only for the birth (on Jan. 27, 1756) of its namesake composer, but its own 20th anniversary season.
This year's festival at the historic Woodstock Opera House (on the town square) will be July 29-Aug. 13, each of the three weekends featuring main stage performances at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday, plus the popular Saturday afternoon chamber-music "sampler concert" on the final weekend.
So, here's what's in store:
July 29-30: Conductor Christoph Campestrini and the Woodstock Mozart Festival Orchestra will be joined by violinist Colin Jacobsen and his brother, cellist Eric Jacobsen, for a program featuring Mozart's "Don Giovanni" overture, K. 527; Brahms' Concerto for Violin and Cello in A Minor; and Beethoven's First Symphony.
Campestrini, a native of Vienna, will be making his second appearance at the Woodstock Mozart Festival. He is also scheduled to conduct this summer at the Grant Park Music Festival in Millennium Park; at the Houston Symphony Orchestra; and at the Omaha Symphony, along with many other orchestras in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Colin and Eric Jacobsen have both worked with Yo-Yo Ma in his Silk Road Project and are active as chamber music players and soloists.
Colin performed Brahms' Double Concerto this spring with Ma and the New York Philharmonic and appears regularly with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, at New York's Bargemusic Festival and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Eric Jacobsen appeared at the 2003 opening of Carnegie Hall's new performance space, the 650-seat Zankel Hall, with soprano Renee Fleming. He is also the organizer of the chamber ensemble The Knights, which also has performed at Bargemusic.
Aug. 5-6: Pianist Jeffrey Swann will play and conduct an all- Mozart concerto program from the keyboard: No. 14 in E-flat Major, K. 449; No. 23 in A Major, K. 488; and No. 22 in E-flat Major, K. 482.
A winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels, Belgium, Swann has performed as soloist with numerous orchestras throughout the world and is an active recitalist.
Aug. 12-13: Three concerts are scheduled for the festival's final weekend, including the "Chamber Music Sampler" at 2 p. …

Indie Rocker Jason Molina Dies Following Battle With Alcohol Abuse
Sadly, the world has lost a great and beloved musician.
Jason Molina, who is known for the indie-rock groups Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co., died on March 16 from organ failure, according to EW.
Jason was 39 and had been public about his longtime struggles with alcohol abuse.
He had spent numerous stints in rehab, and his family had set up a fund in 2011 in order for fans to donate money to alleviate his medical costs.
Jason's most recent album was 2012's solo effort Autumn Bird Songs.
Our thoughts are with Jason's family and loved ones.

Chinese angry with Microsoft's anti-piracy measures
After declaring the 21 October as "Global Anti-Piracy Day", moves Microsoft has made with anti-piracy tools have angered many users in China.
People have "flooded" blogs and online forums arguing the company has violated their right to privacy, with some accusing Microsoft of hacking.
The new tool in the Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy programme turns users on-screen background black every hour if the installed software fails a validation test whereas previous versions simply notified users their product was counterfeit.
Microsoft said that software piracy was costing billions of dollars. In China, levels of pirated software is said to be as high as 90%.

7 Steps to Finding the Best Swim Class
Ready to enroll your water bug in swimming lessons? Keep these important guidelines in mind.
Image Source
Check Credentials
You can feel confident about any program that is certified by the YMCA or the American Red Cross.
Christa Renee
Look for Safety Info
Choose a class that includes safety info and drowning-prevention training along with basic swimming skills.
Christa Renee
Consider the Student-Instructor Ratio
For 4- and 5-year-olds, under four students per teacher is ideal; for beginners 6 and older, no more than six students is best.
Ingram Publishing
Visit First, Sign Up Later
Observe a class to be sure you are okay with the instructor's teaching style.
Watch Water Temperature
Find a pool with water at about 86°F. Kids learn better when they aren't chilly.
Learn CPR
Learn to perform CPR on a child. Take a class through your local YMCA or American Red Cross chapter.
Kaysh Shinn
When Should Your Child Start Swim Lessons?
The answer to that question really depends on your child. In the past, pediatricians worried that placing children under 4 in swimming classes might make them less cautious at a pool and parents less vigilant about watching them. But after a major study found that kids ages 1 to 4 who took formal lessons had a lower risk of drowning than those who hadn't had lessons, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is now more open toward classes for younger children. In new 2010 guidelines, the AAP stresses that not every child will be ready to learn to to swim at the same age, and therefore the organization advises that parents consider a number of factors, including their children's frequency of exposure to water, emotional development, and physical abilities before enrolling them in lessons. (The AAP does not recommend formal water safety programs for babies under 1 year of age.)
Image Source
Other Lesson Alternatives
No budget for lessons? USA Swimming now offers free or low-cost water-safety instruction in 27 states for kids ages 5 to 14 who are most at risk for drowning. Visit swimfoundation.org for additional information.

Minecraft, one of the best indie titles I have played in years.
The basis behind Minecraft is simple: You are alone in the world with nothing but wildlife, resources, and enemies of the night (or dark spooky caves).
You begin Minecraft anywhere from a shoreline to a forest clad in overshadowing trees. From there you are given but one task: To gather resources and find shelter before night falls. If you do not, you will regret it.
As you progress through Minecraft, you are given the opportunity to play as you wish. Do you want to dig to the center of the earth? How about making a fortress at the top of a waterfall? What about making a lavafall flow outside your front door? How does a tower that pierces the sky sound? It is all up to you and your imagination.
Now then! To the Pros and Cons.
- Highly basic, but incredibly explorative title.
- The freedom to choose how you wish to play and what you do is simply lovely.
- The retro-esque style graphics will appeal to most if not all fans of olden games.
- Weekly updates by the creator Notch that include secret updates the players themselves must find.
- It is only in Alpha! The potential of growth for this game is phenomenal, I can not even imagine what it would take shape in within a year's time.
- The beautiful music that begins to play at random intervals. Although sometimes out of place, can truly give you an amazing feel as you overlook a vast mountainside.
- Currently, the multiplayer system tends to lag as well as contain many bugs. This is all being worked on.
- FPS issues tend to become a slight issue as your world continues to generate.
- The sudden increase in popularity has, currently, taken its toll on the servers. Obviously this is not a permanent issue, but still should be addressed.
Minecraft is an excellent game for those who love to explore new worlds, create and share ideas and designs with others, wish to fear the night once more, and truly get their money's worth. (How can you go wrong with the price currently being only $13?)

Under the pressure of other obligations, professional and family, I've let "Mormon Scholars Testify" slide just a bit, of late.
But I'm hoping to get it back on track. So, in that light and in others, I'm happy to say that "Mormon Scholars Testify" has just posted its 343rd entry, by Heidi Beus Naylor of Boise State University.
Three hundred and forty-three. Not bad, if I must say so myself.
Some critics have pointed out that a few of these entries come from dead people. Which is true. It was always my plan to include notable Mormon scholars and scientists from the past, such as John A. Widtsoe, Henry Eyring, Truman Madsen, Hugh Nibley, and Arthur Henry King. But I doubt that the percentage of entries from those who have passed away reaches even two percent. In fact, the list that I've just given very nearly exhausts the category.
Critics criticize. That's what they do.
Another note: People sometimes suggest that my "staff" and I do this or that with regard to "Mormon Scholars Testify." But there is no staff. There's yours truly. (I recruit the scholars and I edit the testimonies for posting.) And there's the indispensable and wonderfully efficient Tanya Spackman. (She designed and runs the website and actually posts the entries.) This project could not have happened without her, and I appreciate her help on it more than I can express. But we both have jobs, and there's no other "staff." Just so you know.
In the meantime, though, please feel free, if you or somebody you know counts as a believing Mormon scientist or scholar, to submit an entry to "Mormon Scholars Testify" or to encourage somebody else to do so.
Many thanks!

A three-star night at the Iron Horse
Coming over the 6th St. viaduct last night, there were already hints that it'd be an interesting night. The big Harley-Davidson anniversary fete might be a few weeks away still, but more riders than usual were sidled up side-by-side at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
Bike night at the Iron Horse Hotel, just up the road and a home away from home for riders, was roaring. Sure enough, there were more leather-clad and tattooed bikers in "the yard" than most weeks. »Read Full Blog Post

Someone went to Vancouver
Since an AD has spilled the fact that 217 will be episode 18 of the season, I can provide a little background. There WAS a script for 218 but it was rejected by RM at the last minute. An idea that didn't work, apparently. I believe this may have been the screw-up he was alluding to on his blog. To fill out the schedule, 211 is now a two-parter.
I hope you are right about that episode being the screw up, that way we don't have to worry about the episodes he has already done

Thread: Going backwards

Going backwards
Hey ca,
i hope this is the right place for the topic.
Lately I feel like I am regressing in my artistic skills. Especially in digital art it's feeling really worse. while i was sketching a lot with graphite lately and also felt like i improved there, my digital works keep getting worse instead of better.
I feel like my brain currently can't take much of new information, like it's refusing to learn new techniques!
at least i also feel like it doesn't help me when i make colour studies from photos. when i want to draw some digital work from my mind i just still can't handle colours, lights and shadows right.
of course i don't think that I'll ever become pro, but I'd just be happy to improve. now i just got the feeling that i am going backwards.
i just wanted to know if some of you guys have experienced the same. why this happenes and also if it passes. i'm just feeling very discouraged right now.

Yeah, I had similar experiences while in school, and still do sometimes. You're probably getting better at seeing the problems in your own work, and your taste is improving with time, so it feels like you're doing worse. That, and as you learn, you're experimenting with newer things. Failure is a big part of that process. Embrace it- those countless failures are crucial to getting better. Be smart, and try to figure out exactly what you've done wrong so you can avoid it the next time.
It feels like running against a wall constantly for weeks or months... and once in a great while, you'll notice a sudden jump in your skills. Then you spend the next few months struggling and repeat. It's painful if you only care about the end result, and exhilarating if you love the learning process and the struggle.
Working from imagination will come with time and lots of practice, especially life drawing. When you do your studies, don't mindlessly copy- be smart and analyze what you're doing.

Here's one set I posted: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...&postcount=200 just so you can see the level of finish I take studies to. They are fairly rough.
When you work on something like a colour study, I think it's best to put your time into observation and putting the colours down. Otherwise you are spending most of your time on blending and making things smooth and only getting a fraction of the practice in choosing the colours.

Yep...welcome to art. Did someone accidently tell you it was going to be easy?
That chart Farvus posted is really good and pretty accurate to the way it works...and it never ends.
Your sketchbook looks fine - just keep at it. My only recommendation is to work much more from life with traditional media and with a traditional approach (not is small sketchbooks). That means at an easel, larger drawing from the shoulder, simple, well lit still life forms, etc. Focusing on drawing fundamentals will inform the rest of your work and provide a foundation to build on.

Low-Mintage 1850-C Gold Dollar, MS621850-C G$1 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1. Only 6,966 gold dollars were struck at the Charlotte Mint in 1850, and it seems certain that none were saved for numismatic purposes. This issue is one of the rarest of the series, probably tied with the 1859-C as the second-rarest Charlotte gold dollar. No more than 150-250 specimens are extant today in all grades, with most examples seen in the VF-XF range. Mint State pieces are very rare.
Only One Finer Coin at PCGS
Only One Finer Coin at PCGS
The present coin is a remarkable MS62 example, with an attractive mixed patina of orange, green, and rose-gold hues. The design elements are well-detailed, much sharper than usually seen on this issue, with just a touch of weakness on the date and ribbon bow. The pleasing surfaces show prooflike reflectivity in many areas, with exceptional eye appeal. Population: 5 in 62, 1 finer (1/13).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 25BG, PCGS# 7510)

Glass Bail Jar: Also known as Kilner Jars or Bale jars, this versatile glass jar holds 8 oz by volume. A rubber seal keeps watery and oily liquids from leaking out. Try using this jar for storing your herbs, colorants and clays or as packaging for your favorite creams, sugar scrub cubes, and salts. The possibilities are endless!
We do recommend testing the jar with your specific recipe to check for leaking and compatibility.
These jars are lead free.
Note: If ordering smaller than case quantities, containers are placed in a paper or plastic bag together before being added to the shipping box and packaged for safe delivery to you.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Josee! I'm so sorry you received some jars that leaked and were rusted! We use these often in the soap lab and haven't had a problem with leaking as seen in this Coconut Oil & Pink Salt Scrub tutorial. Though we know it can happen, especially with the amount of these jars we send out! I will email you personally to resolve this issue.
Reply from Bramble Berry
Hi Heidi! I'm sorry this product wasn't your favorite. We've found it creates a tight seal, as seen in this Olive Oil Scrub Tutorial. I'll be emailing you personally to help resolve this issue!

The Consummate Investigator
Pankau, Edmund J., Security Management
Today's sleuth gleans more evidence from bytes than backroads.
THE COMPUTER, along with the information that it brings to our fingertips, is one of the greatest investigative tools developed in the twentieth century. Through the wonders of microchip technology, we can now search a multitude of databases and analyze many information items relevant to our investigations.
While the computer itself does not conduct investigations, it narrows the parameters of the search and focuses the investigation far faster than any means previously available. Technology enables investigators to network with other resources and agencies across the globe and provides an instantaneous transmission of data.
The most useful databases cover law enforcement, intelligence, industry, public record resources, credit bureaus, media, and scientific and technical information.
Law enforcement and intelligence. For many years, law enforcement agencies have collected criminal history information and other statistics that help identify criminals, determine their whereabouts, and provide intelligence on members involved in criminal acts, such as organized crime, theft rings, and serial killers. In recent years, new databases have been able to provide financial and modus operandi information to help law enforcement officers identify patterns of crimes in the hope of recognizing acts perpetrated nationwide by serial criminals.
National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The NCIC was developed as a tool for local law enforcement agencies to access criminal history information nationwide. The FBI organized, built, and maintains this database and collects criminal arrest, conviction, and intelligence information on wanted suspects, both in the United States and abroad.
The FBI also maintains the National Stolen Property Index, which includes stolen government and military property, and the National Fraudulent Index.
International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). Interpol is a network of national central police bureaus in more than 155 member countries that share information with each other to assist law enforcement agencies in the detection and deterrence of international crime. Each bureau is an agency of that member country's government and serves as the liaison between that law enforcement agency and the Interpol network.
The types of crimes and investigations on which Interpol can provide information include the location of suspects, fugitives, and witnesses; criminal history checks; prevention of terrorism; stolen artwork; weapons, motor vehicle, and license plate traces; and driver's license checks.
El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC). EPIC is a proprietary database of U.S. Customs to assist the agency in documenting the foreign travel of individuals reentering the United States from a foreign port. The database is helpful in identifying parties who make frequent trips outside the United States and has led to the identification and arrest of thousands of people involved in theft, smuggling, and drug trafficking.
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). FinCEN was developed as a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury to provide public record information, financial analysis, and other computerized data on drug dealers and other high-dollar money laundering white-collar criminals. The database is maintained by the treasury department and used by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and regulatory agencies to determine the financial activities of these individuals and locate assets in cases where white-collar criminals are suspected of financial fraud.
Some of the items searched through FinCEN include the following:
* Cash transaction reports (CTRs). CTRs provide information on individuals conducting financial transactions of $10,000 or more. Initially required of banks and financial institutions, this reporting requirement is now required of title companies, auto dealers, and others receiving cash funds in excess of $10,000. …

The Big Bang Theory star JIM PARSONS walked off with two fantastic prizes the very same night - an Emmy AND a husband.
The 37-year-old star celebrated his victory by proposing to longtime boyfriend Todd Spiewak - and now they are planning a Christmastime trip to Massachusetts where they'll tie the knot, say insiders.
"After he got his award, he told Todd the only thing that would make him happier is if they got married - and Todd quickly said yes," a close pal of the couple told The ENQUIRER.
Jim - who plays nerdy physicist Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper on the smash hit - and 33-year-old Todd, an art director, began dating three years ago and moved into a Los Angeles house last year.
The actor has never publicly come out of the closet, but he hasn't attempted to hide the fact that he and Todd are a couple
"Jim is very quiet about the relationship because he lives an extremely private life, but they're very much in love," said the pal.
The couple intend to have a big reception in California after the wedding in Massachusetts, where same sex marriage is legal.

Enabling connection via Remote Desktop Service
Remote Desktop Gateway enables you to connect to your CERN computer from outside of the CERN network, for example from home or from a duty trip. It is also a convenient way to resume the work you started on your Office PC.
Connection between the external computer and the Gateway is encrypted (similar to ssh-tunneling) and when a user tries to connect, his/her credentials are verified both on the Gateway and on the target PC. The Gateway will block any unauthorized connection.
Your CERN computer must be:
The computer from which you are trying to connect must also be running Windows.
To enable the connection via Remote Desktop Gateway and to specify who is authorised to connect, please use this page: Manage the Remote Desktop Connection Access For a Client PC. You need to be listed as the main user or responsible for the PC to be authorised to use this page.
NOTE : Only PRIMARY account are allowed to access through the TS gateway
Follow these instructions when using this page:
1. Enter the name of your computer and click on the "View" button:
2. Make sure that your username is on the list of users allowed to connect (if it is not, add it in the "New member" text box and click on the "Add" button). Then use the the "From the Internet" link. This link lets you download a pre-configured RDP file defining a Remote Desktop Connection via the Gateway.
3. If you want to remove access permission for a user present in the Users List, select it and click on "Remove selected" button
4. When you run the RDP file be ensure to prompt your login name followed by the domain
NOTE: You can add either your account or an e-group as member
The above-mentioned page is available from outside CERN, so you can also use it to later retrieve the RDP file.
You must install SafeSign from CMF on your remote machine in order to use smart login.
Please note that if your CERN computer is not running, CERN Helpdesk will not be able to turn it on for you!
