This was the message from Dave Lochbaum, of The Union of Concerned Scientists, during a recent talk at the University of Toledo.
Lochbaum's group is an independent nonprofit, its sole agenda to protect the environment. Lochbaum is a widely recognized expert on the nuclear industry, and his group touts its commitment to scientific logic.
The chief problem in today's nuclear industry: widespread vulnerability on many fronts.
"All of the reactors in Ohio today are as vulnerable as Fukushima was on March 10, 2011," Lochbaum said.
Fires pose the greatest danger to nuclear power plants in the U.S, with earthquakes a close second.
Lochbaum has been critical of U.S. nuclear plant operators and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the agency that oversees these power plants. Facility owners often fail to comply with regulations, and the regulatory commission often fails to enforce the regulations, allowing some facilities to go decades without meeting new safety standards, Lochbaum said.
He cited an example: In 1980 and then again in 2004, the regulatory commission issued updated fire-protection regulations. To this day, about 40 nuclear plants still have not met these regulations.
"All of the reactors in Ohio are adequately protected against fire and earthquakes — unless a fire or earthquake happens," Lochbaum said.
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Carroll Township, just west of Sandusky, has a documented history of problems with fire protection systems.
Perry Nuclear Power Plant, about 30 minutes east of Cleveland, has the same problems, as well earthquakes hazard issues, Lochbaum said.
Both plants are under a higher level of attention from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Lochbaum said.For obvious reasons, fire can be a tremendous hazard at a nuclear power plant. It can disable power and controls for primary safety systems and their backups, much as the tsunami waters did in March 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan. In November 2011, there was a fire in an electrical panel in an axillary building at Davis-Besse. The fire burned itself out, but the incident was caused by water leaking from a valve on a water pipe, then onto an electrical panel. It arched the system and started the fire, according to regulatory commission data.
Earthquakes pose similar risks because they can damage components, such as piping, and they can also trigger fires in pipes carrying flammable gases or liquids. The contents of a ruptured pipe can be ignited.
And too often, Lochbaum said, people think an earthquake can't hit where they live. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, unexpectedly.
The industry's workplace dynamics may potentially be exacerbating problems, too, if not outright stymieing any solutions.
In 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office of the Inspector General hired the risk-management consultant Towers Watson to conduct a survey. Of about 3,000 employees who responded to the study, 51 percent felt they'd been retaliated against for expressing safety concerns.
Lochbaum said the regulatory commission is capable of serving as the industry's watchdog, but it too often does not live up to its potential. The bar is set high when it comes to industry standards, he said, but the regulatory commission allows companies to "limbo" under these safety measures.
Officials at one local energy company — a big player in the nuclear game — said they take safety very seriously.
"As operators of nuclear power plants, safety is FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company's top priority," said Jennifer Young, spokesperson for FirstEnergy. "FENOC plants are designed to criteria much more stringent than that of non-nuclear facilities, and (they) meet or exceed federal regulations for safety systems."
FirstEnergy's plants incorporate many features to protect plant equipment, while also providing substantial operational and safety margins to counter a wide variety of events, including earthquakes and fires. These systems and the equipment are regularly inspected and tested to ensure they continue to provide adequate protection, Young said.
Viktoria Mitlyng, a spokeswoman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said her agency works hard to make sure the nuclear industry is safe.
It can be complicated for some facilities to adapt to new regulations, and it sometimes takes longer than expected, Mitlyng said. In the interim in such cases, power plants must have a temporary plan in place to ensure the public is safe."One of our cornerstones of safety is making sure employees are free to raise concerns," Mitlyng said.
If an employee feels uncomfortable discussing safety concerns at a given facility, they can file an anonymous complaint with the regulatory commission.
"Their identities are protected," Mitlyng said.There have been investigations into the safety culture, or lack thereof, at facilities, including decades ago at Davis-Besse, and more recently at Palisades Nuclear Plant in Michigan. Mitlyng challenged any notion that the regulatory commission cannot be a watchdog.
"We have strict regulations, and we make sure they are adhered to," she said.
Lochbaum disagrees.
"Allowing millions of people to be subjected to undo risk is not in their job descriptions," Lochbaum said.
Without public outcry or a significant nuclear disaster in the U.S., the regulatory commission isn't likely to hasten its correction of these safety problems, he said.
Former U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich said Lochbaum is right.
"Dave Lochbaum knows very well what he is talking about," Kucinch said.
Many nuclear plants are aging long past their intended lifespan and they should not be relicensed, Kucinich said.
There are serious safety concerns the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions is not addressing, he said.
"If they were not owned by the industry, we would see Davis-Besse shut down," Kucinich said. "Davis-Besse is a ticking time bomb. The only question is when."
The Union of Concerned Scientists has issued some key recommendations for the nuclear industry to prevent severe accidents or mitigate the effects:

Best post-workout protein for the money
By Matt Rage
from Tampa
Follow me
Best Uses
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Cookies N' Cream, 5 lb:
Because this product contains high amount of fast absorbing whey protein isolate, it is ideal for consumption immediately after a workout. Combat from Muscle Pharm is similar to Syntha-6, but better in my opinion, with fast, medium, and slow digesting proteins, which make it ideal for morning meal replacement or before bed to aid in muscle recovery.

Great Powder. Not So Great Taste
By Motorvated
from Central FL
describe yourself Motivated To Fitness
This brand of suppliments are well regarded. This particular flavor (cookies and cream) is not the best I've had. If you really want a good cookies and cream taste I would recommend trying another brand. As with all ON gold standard products it mixes easily. They do tend to get a little more foamy than some other brands when mixed in a blender.I do recommend the French Vanilla Cream.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

WAY too salty, choc is better
By john
from nyc
describe yourself Competitive Athlete, Runner
works fine, but the flavor is WAY too salty. the chocolate flavoring is much better.
Serving scoop included but may settle to the bottom during shipping.
Spoon Stirred: 100% Whey Gold Standard is Instantized. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard to a glass filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
Shaker: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after you workout. Just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard to your shaker cup and then pour in 6-8 ounces of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Mixing one scoop with 6-8 fl oz of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker creamier shake.
Blender: Add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard to a blender filled with 6 - 8 fl oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds.
Shake up your shake: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, peaches, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds or other ingredients.
Stack Your Shake: By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CTG10) and/or BCAA powders, you can make 100% Whey Gold Standard an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.

I can't believe this thread only has five posts.
The BoSox winning it all has to be one of the greatest sports moments in my life.
Posted 12 December 2004 - 12:40 AM
The Yankees had no competant pitching in the playoffs. Mussina is good, and I've always been a fan back to his Baltimore days, but he's no longer a legit number 1. Orlando was hurting. And Brown.... well, he was just one step beyond horrible beyond my worst dreams.
The Yankees definately got beat. They got in a position to win and had their best boy on the mound, and Mariano couldn't close out game 4. And they got to him. And by the time NY started Brown in 7 I was convinced they were trying to lose.
Frankly I was very suprised at what a pushover SL was, as I wholy expected them to win the Series regardless of what team made it. A few more games would have been nice rather then the sweep. But it's still a good win for Boston and very much deserved.
The fans are still stupid. In the series I had to listen to them explain to me that SL sucked (Before they got swept), because they had a worse record, proven by Boston's homefield in the Series. And then I had to listen to people bitch and whine about how unfair it is that the DH doesn't exist in NL parks, even though it's prob more unfair to NL teams, since they don't have a guy like Ortiz on their team to be used soley as a bat. And since I've had to listen to how they're gonna resign ALL their free agents AND get Pavano, AND Beltran, AND half the other guys on the free agent market. I guess 9 starting pitchers and half a dozen CFs is a cool thing....
That being said I think Boston has done VERY well this off season. IF they manage to resign Pedro and Tek, theyll be doing great. Mantei's a nice improvement to their pen. And if they get Renteria, that's a HUGE pickup.
Meanwhile I have NO idea what NYs doing. Why they didn't use the option to keep Lieber for 8 million for one more year is beyond me. Instead they chose to sign a 3 year, 21 mil deal to Jaret Wright...... He's no better, both are questions marks, the cost per year is similar..... Why not keep Lieber instead, since one year contracts are less ricky on guys you're unsure of. Particularly guys whom get along with your team.
Womack was a great pickup. A good 2nd baseman and gets Jeter back to the 2nd slot in the lineup where he belongs.
Wells....... He's prob. no better then Lowe. He's 41 years old. I like him a lot and wanted NY to try for him, even though with his age and back, he may not be as good as in years past. It's an emotional blow to NY fans more then anything. It should prevent Boston from trying for Pedro AND Pavano, but still, it's annoying.
All said, I'm suprised that more teams aren't going after guys like Clement or Radke, before it looked like he's a lock to be in Minnesota. Pavano and Pedro are big money risks in my mind. Pavanos had 1 good season. And Pedro seems to be aging quicker then he should. Maybe he's not really 33. It's not like the Dominican Republic keeps good records on birthdates and other guys in the league like Contreras are of questionable age.
Boston played well last year. I've got tickets to see em June 26th vs Cleveland. Hopefully Wells will be pitching. I probably won't wear a Yankees fan to not start too many problems. But I figure NY's still up 26 to 6, so I can't cry myself to sleep too much.

A-Rod is another guy I wouldn't want in the clubhouse.
Everyone talks about the Boston clubhouse and the wild personalities. But NY has a lot of pressure.
How do you think the NY clubhouse reacts to A-Rod failing to perform in the clutch, Jeter keeping a far superior defensive shortshop over at third, Brown punching a wall, and Mr. Invincibility losing a deciding game in the 9th inning?
Add to that Giambi admitting that he took steroids. I'm sure there are tons of players doing it, but being the first active player to admit to it is not going to make him a popular man.
What saddens me is the Boston free agent push. These guys are heroes. They have to know that New York still fields a decent team, will plug pitching holes and come right back next year. If I'm in the Boston clubhouse, I'm trying to encourage my teammates to develop a team philosophy. Don't demand the moon. Leave some salary room to resign the whole team. I like the roster largely how it is.
Good closer. Decent pen. Good starting pitching, decent defense and good offense.
Boston has to becareful. They could go from king of the world to missing the playoffs next year.
Posted 13 December 2004 - 01:37 AM
Jaret Wright is a mistake in my mind. I think Lieber was better, and I don't feel this is an improvement to the pitching staff. Their bullpen was markably improved by getting Stanton and Rodriguez for Lofton and Heredia. I think they definately made out in those deals.
Boston does have a lot of pressure to not be a huge failure next year after a wonderful year. And NY to improve to their former dominant self.
I don't like A-Rod. Never did.
I like Kevin Brown, but he's definately not what he once was. He's lost several miles off his pitches and his back is always hurt now.
I'm hoping NY choses not to keep Wright due to his physicals. I'd rather see Milton or Clement. Actually both of them, or one of them AND Hernandez back would allow for Brown to miss games.
As for Mariano...... No one's perfect. He gets hit by Boston, but then again Boston's got one of the best lineups in baseball so it would figure that they'd be the team to get to him. Just like it makes sense that guys like Pedro have problems with NY's lineup.
Picking up Pavano seems solid enough. I worry he won't perform as well as he did last year. We shall see. I'm really hoping for Clement.......
Posted 13 December 2004 - 01:51 AM
But sometimes a chink in the armor can cause once great ones to tumble.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers had the most dominant program in college football over 40 years. They never took a year off. No other college program in any sport could ever claim to be great for over 40 years consistently. Iowa wrestling, North Carolina women's soccer and a few other programs have been truly great for 10-20 year spans, but over 40 years of 9+ wins is incredible.
Yet, when Nebraska got clobbered by Colorado a few years back, the team never recovered. We're still limping around from that.
It will be interesting to see how New York responds. They've got a great offense and with some pitching they could be near unstoppable.
Posted 14 December 2004 - 06:25 AM
THough I would like to see him stay I also thing that Theo is making all the right moves to keep the sox in good position to win lots of games and at least contend for the division.
Of course we can just sit and wait to see how all of these off seaon transactions will pan out but I for one think that now that we have lifted this huge burden off our soldiers it will be alot easier to make it back and win some more in the coming years.

I'm sad to see Pedro go. I think it hurts his legacy if he ends up only spending half his career in Boston.
Apparently helping Boston fight the Evil Empire isn't nearly as important as getting top dollar, and satisfying his ego.
I think he wasn't happy playing second fiddle to Schilling, but Schill came up big last year, and any team player should be happy that Schill delivered on his days. Petey should only concern himself with how he performs during his starts.
Could we steal Radke away from Minnesota?

Three Victorian Women Naturalists
The story of nineteenth-century science often tells a tale of a masculinized professionalizing domain. Scientific man increasingly pushed women out, marginalized them and constructed them as naturally feminine creatures incapable of intellectual work, particularly scientific work. Yet many women...

China's leadership focuses on transparency
BEIJING — Frugality, transparency and fairness are among the buzzwords for China's newly installed leadership.
In the final meeting on Sunday of a 12-day legislative session that concluded a once-in-a-decade power transition, President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang hammered at similar messages.
Speaking at a news conference that closed the National People's Congress, Li called for a moratorium on new government offices and guest houses along with a reduction in government payrolls and official cars.
"The central government will lead by example and lower levels will follow suit," Li told assembled reporters in the imposing Great Hall of the People on Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
Uncontrolled spending on lavish buildings has been a source of public outrage, especially in the provinces, which have seen some of the most disproportionate excesses.
One of the poorest counties in the eastern province of Anhui built a $45 million government building eight times larger than the White House. A remote city in the southern province of Jiangxi erected what it said was the largest mechanical clock tower in the world.
While newly retired President Hu Jintao spoke constantly about "harmony," the new leadership seems more intent on fairness.
Xi, installed as Communist Party secretary in November, has spoken frequently about reducing official privilege.
In the final legislative session Sunday, Xi called on delegates to "resolutely reject formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance, and resolutely fight against corruption and other misconduct."
However, the ban on new buildings was one of the few specific pledges to emerge from the session.
The legislature deferred until later this year a much-ballyhooed plan to abolish forced labor camps where people are "re-educated" without trial.
The congress also failed to move on one of the most highly touted measures, which would have required public disclosure of the assets of government officials, their spouses, siblings and children.
Most of China's top leaders come from families with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets, the result of a culture of privilege that allows relatives to parlay connections into vast wealth without explicitly breaking any laws.

A friend of mine is turning 40 in a few weeks, and he is being given a surprise "over-the-hill" party. I am seeking ideas for a gag gift (or gift collection) for the occasion. Things like Metamucil and Geritol have become cliche, so I'm looking for something creative/clever/unique.
Any ideas? What have you seen? I tried Google searches, but mostly what came up were sites trying to sell the typical stuff.

Okay, here's the problem: I'm looking around for a new bios, just for the fun of it, and I see the iND-Bios, and it has some nice features that'd I'd like. I download it, and am configuring it, with the iND Config App. I'm a bit drowsy, and I make this mistake:
Boot Settings:
DVD- D:\uix.xbe (where i wanted "D:\default.xbe")
First- C:\evoxdash.xbe (where I wanted "C:\uix.xbe")
Second- F:\dashboards\evoxdash\default.xbe
Third- F:\dashboards\Avalaunch\default.xbe
I flash the bios, and have the .cfg file in the root of my "C:". So when I reboot my xbox, the logo plays, then, wierdly enough, I get one of two errors:
-"Error 14: Generic Dashboard Error"
-"Error 13: Dashboard could not be launched"
What I can't understand is why the second or third backup dashes what kick in (I'm sure the path is right on those). So far I have tried using a boot disc to gain FTP support with the defualt.xbe on the disc named "default.xbe" and with it named "uix.xbe". No luck, they won't load, and I know my media is acceptable to the Xbox (I've used a bootdisc with that media before on my xbox), I created a correct XISO using Cboxtool, and I've gone through the proper burining procedures with nero.
My next thought is to take my HD out and put it in my friend's box, whose Bios points to the same dashes, as mine (since I set his up)(ie his'll load "C:\uix.xbe"); and fix the .cfg file. Will there be a problem with this? Is there an easier way?
My Xbox's HD IS Unlocked.
Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help/anyone who takes the time to read this.

SGI-Argentina Holds Autumn Training Sessions
On May 11, 2008, SGI-Argentina leaders met at the SGI-Argentina Peace Auditorium in Buenos Aires. The day's various gatherings commemorated May 3, Soka Gakkai Day. The formation of the Youth Ikeda Vanguard Orchestra was announced and a square adjoining the auditorium was named Youth Square.
SGI-Argentina Arts Division members staged an enactment of the 1957 Yubari Coal Miners Union Incident, in which Soka Gakkai members working in the mines in Hokkaido, Japan, met with fierce opposition from the powerful local union, which initiated a campaign against the Soka Gakkai members. Challenging the constitutionality of the union's actions, the Soka Gakkai members won a victory for the sake of religious freedom.
During a leaders' training session, SGI-Argentina General Director Yo Minagawa encouraged the participants to advance together for the sake of people's happiness everywhere and to build a harmonious organization based on their own personal development.
[Adapted from an article in the June 1, 2008 issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, Soka Gakkai, Japan]

The Zipp Speed Box offers the convenience of the classic top-tube box with a few new features to make it more user-friendly. Pulling sideways on a Velcro panel can be awkward when you're focused on nailing that bike split, so Zipp put a zipper running parallel to the top tube.
A thin layer of padding in the side panels protects whatever you're carrying and helps keep your keys from rattling. We also placed a reflective strip around the whole box to add a little extra visibility in case you don't make it home before dark. The Speed Box measure 5-1/4"" x 3"" x 2, giving you plenty of room for the essentials.
Key Features:

text: Samsung Galaxy S III for AT&T and Sprint being delayed till June 28th Stormy Beach 19 June, 2012 6 Comments What a mess to try and sift through. We have spent the last hour sifting through forums and official channels to try and confirm what the heck is going on. We recently got word that T-Mobile will be splitting the retail release of the Samsung Galaxy S III. That was bad enough. Then we catch wind of delays with AT&T and Sprint as well. So we went on a mission to try and gather as much info as we could for you guys to stay informed. Lets break this down by carrier and relavant information. Sprint – Currently there are a number of emails and post cards landing in peoples boxes with information regarding their pre-orders. Reading through the Sprint community forums and multiple chat sessions with various reps that have been posted, it seems there are a few things going on and no one can seem to get a straight answer. The Galaxy S III in the 16GB model seems to be shipping on time. Some people state that have already received their devices and all pre-orders should be fulfilled by this week. That doesn't mean you are going to get it before the 21st though, but they are doing their best. As for the 32GB version, that one seems to be delayed. Here is Sprints official communication via Facebook – Samsung Galaxy S III availability update Posted by CMatSprint on Jun 19, 2012 5:07:13 PM Due to overwhelming demand and limited supply for Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S III, we are running a little behind on deliveries. The 16GB version of Samsung Galaxy S III device will be available in Web Sales and Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1) beginning on Thursday, June 21. It will be in all remaining sales channels next week. We are optimistic that we'll be shipping all Samsung Galaxy S III-16GB pre-orders this week and that they will be delivered by June 21 as anticipated. There is a chance, however, that we may be a day or two late. We anticipate shipping all Samsung Galaxy S III-32GB pre-orders next week. To check the status of your pre-order, please visit www.sprint.com/myorder. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate the patience of our customers as we work through this minor delay in availability. We know that many of you are eager to experience the next generation of the Samsung Galaxy series on the only network to provide unlimited data plans to new and existing customers. Should this situation change, we will continue to update this post as we have new information to share. To join other customers in discussion, please visit the Samsung Galaxy S III section of our Community. More information: Samsung Galaxy S® III 16GB Samsung Galaxy S® III 32GB So the device will be officially available via online sales and telesales June 21st, but won't hit stores for purchase until next week. That lines up with a retail release of June 28th that we heard a rumor of earlier in the day through lots of forum searching and emails received by various people. Near as we can tell things are getting backed up all over the place. AT&T – AT&T seems to be in the same boat as Sprint and T-Mobile. A email received by an XDA member puts the Galaxy S III being pushed back to June 28th. Thank you for shopping with Sams Club! We were just notified by AT&T that they have moved the nationwide launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III 4G LTE phone to June 28th. There is nothing that you need to do. We've reserved your phone and will begin shipping all approved orders the moment we receive the devices. We just wanted to make sure you had the most up-to-date information. Thanks again for shopping with us. We appreciate your business. Sincerely, Your Friends at Sams Club Target is also sending out a similar email to its pre-order customers. Looks like some Sprint customers will see their devices this week, if they haven't already. You guys that ordered the 16GB model anyways. The 32GB model is pushed back a week. AT&T customers are looking at another week for anything to land. T-Mobile didn't opt for any pre-ordering, but are limiting their launch to the top 29 markets in the 21st with national availability on June 27th. Verizon seems to be the only one on target for the moment. What kind of correspondence are you guys receiving from Sprint, Wirefly, Target, Sams Club, AT&T and anywhere else? Are we looking at a week delay across the boards? Again, this is all information that we dug up from XDA forums 10th entry for AT&T. We found the Sprint info from Sprint Community forums, Sprint Facebook and a Wirefly communication released by Gottabemobile. While the Sprint locations are pretty legit, we are still trying to nail down a solid bit of information from AT&T. Tony Last month every article was about how awsome it was that Samsung was able to use their "power" to make all the carriers launch the phone at the same time on the same date. Now we're reading about all the delays. I think the delays are on purpose. It's all the carriers flipping the middle finger at Samsung and saying: "You don't have the power you think you have. We, the carriers have the power, and we'll launch the phone when WE say WE'RE ready. So take that Samsung." http://www.androidspin.com Stormy Beach Interesting idea. I think it has more to do with the volume of orders though and stock limitations. Samsung already said they had to ramp up production just to meet the first wave of orders. As long as it lands with in a few days of the expected launch and instead of a month later, I am ok with that. Tony I'm just mad because I pre-ordered it and now I'm nervous that I may not get it until next week =/ Jason I've been watching this device for awhile. As soon as the at&t pre-order was available on June 6 I jumped. I was told it would ship June 18, but it did not happen. I chatted online with an at&t rep and was told it would ship June 21. I just checked my order status and nothing still. Very frustrating, especially considering at&t was supposed to have a 3 day jump on their competitors, and now it looks like they are trailing. Riley Great read! I am excited to get my Galaxy SIII in a few days. I have a Galaxy S that I have had for a while, so I trust Samsung made the new phone even better. I'm looking forward to using the new LTE network as well. I like to watch movies and TV shows on my current phone quite a lot using the Dish Remote Access app. I stream from my Sling Adapter-connected receiver to my phone most while I'm on my way to work at Dish. I can't wait to use LTE!

Mitchell-Innes & Nash's Summer Exhibition SLIP to Open 6/12
Mitchell-Innes & Nash has announced Slip, a group exhibition of seven contemporary artists whose work wavers between concrete reality and immaterial unconscious, creating an intermediate space in which material suggests alternate realities. Through the works in this exhibition, the viewer is invited to linger in these borderlands. In turn, one is offered an opportunity to extend his or her own individual experience and to expand the architecture of the gallery from an alternative vantage point.
Within contemporary life we are presented with many ways to diffuse our tangible surroundings, thoughts, and engagements through countless modes of readily available diversions. These invited distractions allow us to sidestep our physical environments and dislocate our individual experiences, if only for a moment. Within a lingering thought, or through a glance at our phones, the personal places we occupy are continually supplanted in ways that challenge our perceptions of what is real. This exhibition explores the boundaries of these forms of transmutation, and the singular ways in which art can alter perceptions and influence thought, behavior, and personality. Slip was organized by Bridget Finn.
Graham Collins lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. In recent years, he has had solo exhibitions at The Journal, NY, Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton, NY, and West Street Gallery, NY. He has been included in group shows at Venus Over Manhattan, NY; Cooper Cole, Toronto; Rachel Uffner Gallery, NY; and Corcoran Museum, Washington, D.C.
Alex Da Corte was born in Camden, New Jersey, and lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. In 2014 he had solo shows at White Cube in Bermondsey, and atCarl Kostyal in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2013 at Institute of Contemporary Art in Portland, ME, and Artspeak in Vancouver, Canada. He has been included in institutional group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. Alex Da Corte is represented by Joe Sheftel in New York.

Boston Red Sox first baseman David Ortiz has left the game against the San Francisco Giants in the fifth inning because of tightness in his lower back. Ortiz was hitless in three at bats in Boston's 12-1 win on Wednesday, striking out his last two times. He came out of the game following the top of the fifth inning and was replaced by Mike Napoli. Ortiz entered the day batting .323 with 24 home runs and 78 RBIs. The Red Sox have a day off before opening a series at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.

Vero-B4 cells were incubated at 4°C for 168 hours in Krebs-Henseleit buffer with 11.1 mM glucose (KHG), RPMI 1640 (RPMI) and modified KHG buffer containing Ca2+ and inorganic phosphate concentrations similar to RPMI 1640 (KHG(Ca-,P+); Ca2+ 0.42 mM and inorganic phosphate 5.6 mM) and were then rewarmed in RPMI 1640 at 37°C for 3 hours. Most cell injury was observed in cells cold incubated in RPMI 1640 and KHG(Ca-,P+). The monolayer was disrupted, cells displayed small, dark nuclei and bleb formation occurred. Only cells stored in KHG showed recovery to original morphology.

Since half of creative New York has moved down to Miami this week for Art Basel, we sent reporter Alexandra Peers down with them to peek at the art, beauty, and elitism on the beach. She's been filing reports to New York's Vulture blog, but she sent us this dispatch for our very own.
The e-mail buzzes on my BlackBerry: "We would love to have you come by to pick up something — for the Miami dinner celebrating the Emilio Pucci house of design." What? Sorry, fashionistas, snobby art-worlders don't borrow clothes. My outrage is first personal — has someone dished my Bloomie's little black dress? — then, political. It sounds Fascist.
More evidence of the fashion industry's latching on to Art Basel Miami: The "dressing suite," a room-size riot of pastel prints, turns out to be around the corner from my room at the Standard. There, a few dozen dinner guests will be outfitted in Italian silk pieces worth thousands. An earnest PR woman explains over my objections that we're meant to be a performance piece. Well, far be it from me to stand in the way of art. I grab a swirling caftan. "How do I look?" I ask. "How do you think you look?" a lithe brunette answers judiciously. Like I am apparently supposed to play a gypsy fortune-teller in the performance. We settle on an aqua geometric blouse, "pre-spring 2008," about $700 — or euros, they're not sure which — that I'll have for 48 hours.
But as the art fair begins Wednesday, a problem arises. Several women Pucci up early: The aisles teem with fuchsia and blue swirls and teardrops; it looks as if they're all wearing the official uniform of a very exclusive Swiss girls' school. By dinnertime, I rebel and don black. The PR woman pretends gamely not to mind "You decided not to wear it, and that's okay," she says. It is clearly not okay.
Here, in a candlelit garden villa on the Intercoastal, the parade of silk looks spectacular. Giant helium balloons, each anchored to a dress, float in the air. "It's marvelous," says Phillips auction house CEO Simon de Pury, who swells about with Marc Glimcher, Delphine Arnault, and Laudomia Pucci.
And last night, as the Mandarin Oriental hosts a dinner to salute Chinese contemporary art, cool Pucci silk against my skin, I feel like a Connery-era Bond girl. Dennis Hopper catches my eye, and smiles. —Alexandra Peers

Josh McCown will get a chance to make it three against the Rams next Sunday. Coach Marc Trestman announced that Jay Cutler is still being considered week-to-week with the ankle injury that kept him out against Baltimore and that he won't play in St. Louis. McCown has played well and clearly has a strong command of the offense, something he hopes keeps the team victorious until Cutler is ready to step back into the lineup.

Catching up with Chris Taylor - GDC Interview
Chris Taylor talks about Kickstarter, Gas Powered Games' surprising acquisition by Wargaming.net, and the future of PC gaming.
by Aaron Sampson on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
I clicked the link thinking it was Danny talking to Kevin...my bad :(
When I saw the preview picture for this video, I thought Kevin had grown a pointy devil beard. I think this needs to happen.
TIL Kevin VanOrd has what appears to be an Assassin's Creed tattoo.
Interesting personality. But if you think about it, TotalA and DS are his greatest achievements, all the other projects he has been involved are mediocre. And some are just terrible, like Age of Empires Online. However I still have faith in him creating something revolutionary once more.
I love Chris Taylor, very inspiring and has amazing creative vision. I am disappointed they were acquired though by Wargaming and now are making a MMO... that's just ridiculous. Maybe one day when Chris and his great team actually work on a game I want to play I'll go back to supporting them. Damn, I was really hoping Gas Powered would get their independence, such a better alternative imo.
Chris seems really uncomfortable I think. Hopefully what he's saying is all true and that he's creatively free to do what he wants.
I'm glad that he's finally landed on his feet. Dungeon Siege was one of my favourite hack'n'slash games back in the day. And thanks for another insightful interview, Kevin. I enjoy seeing this glimpses into the hearts and minds of developers.
I'm very happy to see him get back up after all the misfortune of the past couple of months. The game industry truly needs people like Chris Taylor. Best of luck to him!
@twistyanddark AOEOnline was a fun game and did what it was supposed to; free multiplayer rts!
@Lord_Python1049I agree. Veeery uncomfortable. Like a politician defending something he doesn't believe in. The fact alone he is specifically focusing on that team being 'on his side', makes me doubt the positivity here. Of course your team and boss need to be on your side. How else would you get work done? It must be hard to build up a company, bring out successful games, almost fail and be responsible for the jobs and lives of dozens of artists, only to be acquired by someone else.
Not the most inspiring situation.
Also seeing him stating he's 'excited about the free-to-play model' while being taken over by an MMO factory, and obviously being not excited makes me fear the outcome.
Ah well, all things change over time, so this might turn out ok for them somehow.
@Lord_Python1049 @twistyanddark I can accept the fact that you found it fun. I should define that finding it terrible was a personal opinion. But AoEO is by no means free. It is the definition of pay to win. Its model resembles a free demo for a pay to win game. It was marketed as a free game which of course doesn't make it one.

New York, NY 10022
|Printable auction results for all items in the 2013 November 1 - 3 US Coin Signature Auction - New York.
Important First-Year Proof Example
A total of 101 matte proofs were reportedly made of the 1908-dated twenty dollar issue, although a few pieces are also certified with a satin or Roman finish; clearly, this was a time of Mint experimentation with the various textures known on several denominations, including both the new Saint-Gaudens and Bela Pratt designs.
Although NGC has recorded 24 submissions of the matte proof 1908 at the PR66 grade level (including one Plus coin) with 12 finer, it is likely that both figures represent numerous duplications (9/13). PCGS has certified three matte proof 1908 Motto twenties in PR66, with two in PR67 finer.
Coupled with the large, impressive twenty dollar denomination and in splendid technical and aesthetic condition, this Premium Gem first-year-of-type proof coin should prove to be a rare prize for some lucky bidder. The surfaces appear free of any contact, although a couple of rim irregularities show at the upper-left reverse. They appear to be of Mint origin, as the matte texture covers them. Consistent honey-gold color emanates from each side, save for a suggestion of deeper brownish-gold at the lower obverse, below the date. This lovely coin should see healthy bidding at auction, as the strong collector demand for proof gold in higher grades certainly shows no sign of abating.(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 26GV, PCGS# 9205)

April 28, 2015 Sinagua Middle School was awarded the A+ School of ExcellenceTM designation from the Arizona Educational Foundation (AEFTM). AEFTM Executive Director, Bobbie O'Boyle stated in the letter written to Principal Tari Popham, "You, your staff, your students and your community are to be commended for overall excellence and for all the hard work and collaborative effort it took to earn this award. Based on your outstanding application and a very memorable and impressive site visit to your campus, your school has truly earned the Arizona Educational Foundation's A+ School of Excellence designation." Ms. O'Boyle stated in their press release, "The A+ School of Excellence™ program celebrates outstanding schools throughout Arizona and calls attention to the positive stories and successes occurring in public schools," "We applaud these schools for doing whatever it takes to meet their students' needs and achieving overall success despite some of the challenges that face the education community statewide."
Applicant schools are evaluated in the areas of student focus and support, school culture, active teaching and learning, curriculum, leadership, community and parent involvement and assessment data.
The A+ School of Excellence™ Program was created by the Arizona Educational Foundation in 1983. Its purpose is threefold:
§ to identify and give public recognition to outstanding public schools in Arizona;
§ to make available a comprehensive framework of key criteria for school effectiveness that can serve as a basis for participatory self-assessment and planning in schools;
§ to facilitate communication and sharing of best practices within and among schools based on a common criteria related to success.
According to the Arizona Educational Foundations website "Schools submit applications that provide demographic information, a description of current programs and practices, documentation of parent and community involvement, a profile of the school's leadership and commitment to excellence, equity, service. Schools must demonstrate sustained high achievement or significant improvement through assessment data. Winning schools are recognized for their superior ability to identify and meet the academic and non-academic needs of their student population. Schools that earn the A+ School of Excellence™ designation retain their status for a 3-year period after which time they must reapply for the award."
Five years ago, automotive teacher Brian Locke embarked on a long process to have the Automotive Program at Coconino High School certified by the National Automotive Technician Education Foundation (NATEF). The NATEF was founded in 1983 by Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) to certify automotive education programs and help promote technician training.
To receive this certification Mr. Locke needed to apply and meet the following criteria:
1. Self-evaluation-
-Curriculum must meet all the standards per NATEF.
- Curriculum must be taught with enough seat time to meet the standards.
-Must have meetings two times a year with and advisory committee made up of industry people, former students and parents.
-Yearly budget.
-Curriculum inventory.
-Tool and equipment inventory.
-Floor plan of the shop and class room.
- Student population
- How fees are collected.
- What student services are provided?
-The teacher must have a Teacher Certification, plus 20 hours a year of industry update training and receive at least four ASE Certifications.
2. A representative from NATEF visited Mr. Locke's class to review all of the above requirements. During this time three industry professionals were needed to help evaluate the criteria listed above. The representative also called at least six employers of students that have been in the program within the last three years to make sure they left the program with the knowledge they needed to enter the work force.
Coconino High School is one of seven schools in Arizona to hold this honor. With this certification the students in Mr. Locke's class will leave high school with an industry standard certification and will be on par with having some technical school training which translates for them, not starting at the bottom if they choose automotive technician as a career. These programs meet industry-developed standards that result in students ready to enter the workforce or to continue their education.
Mr. Locke feels that this "takes the FUSD/CHS program to the next level on a national and global stage. It has been a long and challenging process, but worth it!"

As of Wednesday, March 21, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Lane Price announced her candidacy for the Dougherty County Board of Education's at-large seat Wednesday at the International Studies Elementary School off Mock Road.
The at-large seat is currently held by Anita Williams-Brown.
"This is an important day for the Dougherty County School System,and this is why," Price said as she began her announcement, "My name is Lane Price -- Dr. Lane Price -- and I hereby announce my candidacy for the Dougherty County School Board."
According to Price, the the board is rife with "lying and cheating," and is lacking in oversight.
"Frankly, enough is enough," Price said. "When our schools are tainted, our entire county suffers. Only a high standard of values can rejuvenate our current board."
Price said it will require someone honest, ethical, intelligent and passionate to keep the Board of Education in line, and she believes she fits the bill.
"I intend to be that watchdog," Price said. "The most important thing we can provide for the children of Dougherty County is a quality education. For the economic well being of the entire community, our children must have a quality education."
Price referred to the Dougherty County School System as a whole as "sick and broken."
"I'm a doctor," Price said. "I want to fix it and make it healthy."
The candidate referred to herself as "passionate" and recounted her medical school studies at a time when few women were encouraged to attend.
"There were only five women in my class," Price said, "and now I teach medical school residents at Phoebe."
Standing at the outdoor podium with her husband, Julian, Price cited two "bright spots" in the Dougherty system: The International Studies Elementary School and Albany Early College.
Abytaxpayer 3 years, 3 months ago
Ok Albany Dr. Price has "Thrown down the gauntlet" She has stepped forward and is willing to serve and stand for a Better Quality of Education for our children. We must now prove we are more than just hollow talkers here by supporting her and VOTING. Your vote will speak Louder than any words typed here.
coachjohnson42 3 years, 3 months ago
Why do you think she is a good candidate already?
Justice4Moma 3 years, 3 months ago
AMEN ABY.About time for Change! Maybe our kids will learn more,and who knows,maybe one person can make a diffrence.The way it is right now it cant hurt any.
Abytaxpayer 3 years, 3 months ago
Coach the reason she is a good candidate is:
- She has classroom experience as a Math and Science teacher
- She has a master's degree in education from the University of Georgia.
- She believes the DCSS board needs honest, ethical oversight.
If you can find better then present them. If not keep doing what you are so proud of, voting to keep your pals on the board. We are seeking a HIGHER Quality Education for our children while you seek Camaraderie.
We support the need for more Teachers like the ones who lead Westover to be "The Best of the Best" in Georgia.
tywebb 3 years, 3 months ago
4....she's NOT one of the present board members. sounds like a good candidate to me.

if she is that good, she has my vote

She had planned to visit the Medina in Fez, the souks in Marrakesh and the mosques in Casablanca. But the Moroccan vacation would have set Nancy Yale back $15,000 for her family of five. And after laying off a full- and part-time employee last fall, the travel agency owner in Fairfield, Conn., decided to scrap the December trip.
"I just didn't think it was prudent. It wasn't a good message," she says.
Call it luxury shame, stealth wealth or guilt downsizing. Even if you've "got it" — and maybe especially if you've got it — economic times like these are no time to flaunt it.
In a time when posh has become a four-letter word, forget about keeping up with the Joneses. It's more socially expedient to stay down with them. Economic turmoil is giving luxury a bad name, it seems, and not just among the private-jet set, either. The desire to tone down consumption is affecting how some Americans vacation — or at least how they say they vacation.
It's the sort of environment that has people claiming they got that winter tan on the local ski hill, when in truth, they were skiing in Gstaad. Or, for appearances' sake, hailing a cab from the airport instead of pulling up to the hotel in a town car — never mind that the fare's the same.
The sentiment resonates in cyberspace and includes travelers who say they're lying or feeling guilty about their vacation plans or simply keeping mum about them.
Even former Securities and Exchange Commission head Arthur Levitt hasn't escaped a guilt trip, telling the New York Times Magazine he canceled a spring trip to the Far East, because "I don't feel right about spending large sums of money in this environment."
"Luxury shame is very real," says travel industry analyst Henry Harteveldt of Forrester Research. "When your neighbors are losing their jobs and you're doing well, you don't flaunt your success. Of course, there are still people who will continue to enjoy the fruits of their success. They may still rent the beachfront home and continue to fly in the G5 and tool around in the leased Bentley, but they're not going to go home and brag that that's what they did on vacation."
In a recent survey of travelers' intentions, Forrester found the solidly middle class intended to cut back on travel, but so did 28% of those with household incomes of $100,000 and above. "It shows that the well-to-do are not being spared by this recession," says Harteveldt.
Neither are the wealthy, even if it's just for appearances' sake. One of Yale's best clients canceled a pricey trip to Asia explaining, " 'It's too embarrassing to tell anyone I took a $40,000 vacation,' " she says.
Josh Friedman, a luxury travel consultant in San Francisco, relates how a wealthy Pasadena couple, "the kind of people who book $3,000-a-night suites," called him to say they're cutting back 50% on everything and had him redeem frequent-flier miles for a trip to the East Coast. Another client who booked a $30,000 luxury European cruise with extra nights in Athens and Rome lopped a night off to assuage his guilt over spending so much. It cut the price by a mere $1,000 or so, but "it made him happy," says Friedman. "He realizes times are tough."

Regarding the letter "The Right To Live In A Safe Society" [Nov. 12, http://www.courant.com/letters], neither our state nor federal constitutions grant anyone the right to be safe or to be free from worry or fear. We also live in a republic, not a democracy, so the rule of law trumps this imaginary right to live in a peaceful society.
One day in the future, when the letter writer can no longer write letters to newspapers or speak his mind, he will be wishing he hadn't actively worked to destroy the Second Amendment.

For years, artists have been using GIFs in mind blowing ways to bring their visions to life. Native American GIF artist George Redhawk aka DarkAngel0ne, who is blind, uses them to "see" art. With the help of visual aides and using photo manipulation software designed for the visually impaired, Redhawk creates eerily captivating versions of his favorite paintings and photographs. He doesn't call himself an "artist" but tell that to the more than seven million people who have viewed his work online.
Throughout time, flowers have stood as symbols of beauty. Their vibrant color and pleasant aroma has made them integral parts of rituals around the world. To see them as bouquets and arrangements in the background is common in many cultures. Floral artist Kirk Cheng pays tribute to flowers by making attention grabbing displays, which take beauty that is normally glanced over and push it to the center of attention. Cheng creates wall gardens of seasonal plants, drawing the symbolism found in the plant's color or species. Behind the glass of sleek dioramas, they look like perfectly preserved specimens from some other dreamy world.
In recent years, Mexico City has played host to some of the most progressive urban artists in the world. Many of them have come together in Celeya Brothers' anniversary exhibition, "Cuatro Ugal A Uno": 3TTMan, Christiaan Conradie, Franco Fasoli aka JAZ, Fusca, Augustine Kofie, Lesuperdemon, Sten & Lex, Sanez, Smithe and Jorge Tellaeche. The group represents not only the freshman artists to show with the gallery, but also the city's international draw, hailing from the United States, South Africa, to Argentina. Take a look at more photos from the exhibition after the jump.
Brooklyn based Scott Albrecht (covered here) creates colorful plays on typography and symbols using repurposed found objects and wood cut apart like puzzle pieces. His latest series, which will debut tonight in "Here and Now" at Andenken/Battalion gallery in Amsterdam, is an extension of his style and themes. For this exhibition, he challenged himself to explore new ideas; there are more characterized motifs like abstractions of Hamsa, or the Hand of Fatima from Middle Eastern faiths, and hidden messages that represent more than what is written at the surface. Albrecht takes a moment to tell us more about his new works and creative upbringing in this exclusive interview after the jump.
Los Angeles based artist Steve Kim creates haunting, colorful digital and ink illustrations mostly inspired by his virtual experiences. The majority of his pieces focus on a variety of modern themes, some sounding straight out of science fiction, including body possession to portraits of users that catch his eye on Tumblr. His interest in this type of subject matter undoubtedly rubs off of his professional work for clients such as tech blog Polygon and the Verge. See more after the jump!
San Francisco based artist Zio Ziegler (covered here) has an eclectic style; a few of his pieces portray Cubist figures, some more detailed than others, and then there are his more color-based paintings. His art is not cohesive, but rather reflects on his every day life's emotions and moods which flow between feelings of self awareness and bliss. He very much lives in the moment. Ziegler's current solo exhibition at Soze Gallery in Los Angeles, "The Psyche's Gestures," takes a look at these different sides of the psyche.
