Recycled Book Sculptures by Long-Bin ChenJuxtapoz // Monday, June 02, 2014
We've posted the work of Long-bin Chen previously as part of the Dissections and Excavations in Book Art exhibit at The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. Today we take a closer look at his work specifically. The New York-based artist carves stacks of books or papers into warriors, Buddhas, and other often Asian culture-inspired sculptures, the finished piece resembling stone carvings.
Masters of Illustration: Romance Pulp CoversErotica // Monday, June 02, 2014
When it comes to displaying lustful romance, seduction, passion and desire, there is no better place to turn than the covers of vintage pulp novels. Filled with sinfully innocent stories and naughty erotica, the masterful illustrators that created these images had a talent unlike any other. Here is a selection of some of our favorites from a few of the best.
The abandoned handball courts of IrelandPhotography // Sunday, June 01, 2014
There are roughly around 700 abandoned handball courts spread throughout Ireland that once served not only a place for athletics, but as a spot for people to socialize and dance. After the '50s, handball moved indoors leaving the outside courts to be demolished or used for storage or parking lots. Photographer Kenneth O Halloran spent some time last year visiting hundreds of them and documenting their deteriorated appearance.
Kim Ji-Hoon's Rendered RealismIllustration // Sunday, June 01, 2014
These realistic pencil renderings from an artist by the name of Kim Ji-Hoon are seriously blowing my mind right now. I don't even think my eyes are capable of seeing that much detail, let alone re-creating it. We came across some intricatley drawn illustrations of body parts (Arnold Schwarzenegger throwback), landscapes and animals from this incredible talent who chooses to remain pretty anonymous.
Kalpesh LathigraPhotography // Saturday, May 31, 2014
Whether shooting personal work or being commissioned to shoot photo essays, Kalpesh Lathigra, has a way with conveying stories through imagery. The London-based photographer has amassed a large body of work covering differing subjects over the years and has won several awards, which include The W. Eugene Smith Fellowship and Churchill Fellowship.
COPE2 on the Bowery & Houston WallJuxtapoz // Saturday, May 31, 2014
Old school NYC graffiti artist COPE2 is the most recent artist to takeover the famous Bowery & Houston wall in Manhattan, adding a mixture of tag elements and odes to other graffiti giants from the past 30+ years of graffiti history.
New Work from Jules JulienIllustration // Friday, May 30, 2014
Graphically bold, simply rendered and heavily silhouetted, the work of Jules Julien satisfies that part of us that longs for the deep intricacies of illustration but appreciates the minimal and easy to digest. As an illustrator out in Amsterdam, I have confidence that Jules knows exactly what she is doing, and she's doing it right.
See/Buy: "Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton: This is Stones Throw Records"Music // Friday, May 30, 2014
In the next few months, Juxtapoz is going to be looking into the visual art behind one of underground hip-hop/jazz/music's true innovators, Madlib. If you are a fan, you know that the Beat Konducta has many monikers and identities, characters that he lets take centerstage over his own look. Madlib has long been associated with Stones Throw Records, and the label is the subject of a great new documentary, "Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton: This is Stones Throw Records," that you can watch, buy, and stream online right now. See it, and get ready for some upcoming Juxtapoz coverage...
Juxtapoz Presents: Greg "Craola Simkins" - Good KnightJuxtapoz // Friday, May 30, 2014
"Good Knight" is the latest series from Craola, revisting the fears and curiosities of childhood, dragging them from dreamland into reality. Video, photos and more after the jump..
Marcel Dzama "Hollow Laughter" @ Kunstmuseum Thun, SwitzerlandJuxtapoz // Friday, May 30, 2014
Switzerland is a lovely place to visit in the summer. Mix that with the fact that Marcel Dzama's art is a lovely thing to look at and immerse yourself in, we suggest perhaps a summer vacation in Thun to visit the exhibition, "Hollow Laughter" at the Kunstmuseum Thun to see the works of the Canadian artist. Dzama's dark, dystopian, but fairy tale like work has been capturing audiences attention from around the globe for years, and his explorations into film, performance, installation, sculpture and drawing get more and more interesting and provocative through the years.

Echocardiography, 05/18/2012
The data indicate that continuous cardiac imaging is superior to electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients presenting with acute non–ST segment elevation chest pain syndromes. This technique could be a useful adjunct to ECG monitoring for myocardial ischemia in the acute care setting.

Hey all,
On our most recent trip to WDW we saw the Nemo musical and we all absolutely LOVED it.
I video'd the entire show and then got the cast recording CD in order to edit.
Well of course, editing something with live singing, etc proved to be kind of difficult. Unlike Fantasmic, they are actually performing EVERYTHING in the show (except background music).
So I had to have some ... well, let's say ... creative editing while doing the video.
Which brings me to my issue.
IMO ... the cast of the show that we saw live was ALOT better than the recording on the CD. Now granted it's a VERY good recording, but it just didn't have the same 'feel' as hearing it recorded live.
So my question is ... do you think they should offer recordings of each show? So if you saw Nemo on October 24th, 2007 at 4:30 you should be able to get a recording of that show.
It really wouldn't be hard and I guarantee they'd probably get ALOT of people that would want it. Wouldn't be any harder than ordering a print of an on-ride photo or photo-cd.
And while were at it, why stop there. Do it for ALL live shows on property and even the broadway shows.

You may receive an error message when accessing the Windows Update v.5 Web site, or when using Automatic Updates. This issue only affects users or Automatic Updates behind a proxy server requiring authentication, or when null user requests are not allowed.
There are two issues affecting Windows Update v.5 when responding to Web proxy requests to access Windows Update:
Issue 1: Credentials may be sent on a half-closed connection. This issue occurs when the client sends a HEAD request on a TCP connection that has already been closed by the proxy server. This is a known Internet Explorer issue, as described in article 838893, "The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response" error message in Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Issue 2: Authentication responses may contain null credentials. (Domain and user name are empty.) This issue occurs because the Windows Update client authenticates with null credentials to the proxy server. If the proxy server does not allow null client requests, the request may be denied.
One or both of these behaviors may be observed during a single client session, but not for the same HTTP request.
Symptoms for Issue 1: Credentials may be sent on a half-closed connection and for Issue 2: Authentication responses may contain null credentials are described in the following sections.
This issue may occur when you first connect to the Windows Update site, when the Windows Update component is checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software. A message similar to the following will be displayed, with the error number specified:
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page. In the upper right on the page, you will see the following: [Error number: 0x80072F78].
With this issue, the initial connection to the site will be successful. The error will occur after the check has been made for the Windows Update component updates, when you select Express Install or Custom Install. The following message may be displayed, with the error number specified:
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page. In the upper right on the page, you will see the following: [Error number: 0x80244021].
In addition, the null log on may produce a message with error code 0x80244018 or 0x80244019.
A workaround for configuring ISA Server 204 2004 is described.....

Dyslexia Treatment at Home
Dyslexia Treatment Programs That Tap Into Neuroplasticity
Our online dyslexia treatment uses brain-training exercises that target the language processing and related working memory delays that cause most cases of dyslexia.
2+ million students in 42 countries
Software targets dyslexia at its source
Self-paced, computer game-like exercises
New Hope for Children with Dyslexia
Until the 1980s it was thought the brain was hardwired, and that dyslexia was permanent. Scientists then discovered brain plasticity, the capacity of the brain to change its structure and function through experience and training.
This means that the window for learning gains remains open throughout life. Dyslexia can be resolved or at least dramatically helped at any age. Our online dyslexia treatment at home, using Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant, taps into this opportunity.
Dyslexia Treatment Steps
Dyslexia is most often caused by language processing delays that impair how language is heard, sometimes described as like listening to sound through water. This muddiness in processing not only impacts listening, it also impacts phonological awareness needed for decoding (sounding out), reading efficiency and reading comprehension. Left untreated, these delays can undermine reading for a lifetime.
Most people think of dyslexia as permanent because most dyslexia treatments — tutoring, special glasses, reading clinics — are not treatments at all. They do not address the underlying processing delays. They provide work arounds, extra activities that help children cope with dyslexia and help them make progress despite the dyslexia.
Our treatment for dyslexia is different. It goes after the underlying difficulty and then builds related cognitive and reading skills, step by step.
- Treat The Underlying Cause
Students make hundreds of clicks every day to exercise processing speed, working memory, attention and sequencing skills. The software adapts, adding speed and complexity at the student's pace.
- Make Reading Easier & More Fluent
Fluent reading also requires language dexterity — sound grammar, vocabulary and spelling skills — which we address after the first 4-8 weeks.
- Build Reading Comprehension
The latter stages of our dyslexia treatment programs focus on improving reading comprehension with critical and inferential thinking.
We customize our programs by student age and need. The software then adapts to the student, creating an individualized experience. Most students start to see results in 1-2 months.
Fast Acting and Enduring
Like any solution that targets underling problems rather than dealing with the symptoms, our software is fast acting. Most students start to see gains after only a few weeks. Our full course averages 4-6 months depending on your child's starting point.
Our dyslexia treatment is also enduring — once core language processing and related cognitive skills are learned, they integrate and become part of your child. These skills are then practiced every day through listening, interacting with others and reading.
The brain is an amazing organ. With the right stimulation, it can improve much more quickly and more profoundly than you might think. Our students average 1-2 years of reading gain in their first 2-3 months, with more acceleration after that. Our results speak for themselves.
Find Out If Our Online Dyslexia Treatment Can Help Your Child
We believe our secret sauce, the reason for our consistent success as an online dyslexia treatment at home, is the remote personalized guidance we provide through our trained professionals. These professionals monitor and guide, acting as a mentor and coach, encouraging you and your child to stick with the protocols to get the rewards this amazing software offers.
To find out if our programs are suitable for you or your child, call a Gemm Learning specialist for a free consult.

'Amish Mafia' Season 3 finale: Levi and his crew forced to shut down productionAdd to Favorites | Amish Mafia
Last week on "Amish Mafia," Esther's double life was discovered and she was a victim of domestic violence as a result. Tuesday (April 7) in the Season 3 finale, titled "Shepherds' End," Esther's recent experience sparks a crusade to eliminate outside temptations from the Amish community.
Meanwhile, pressure from local law enforcement forces Levi to ask Esther for help, but he eventually shuts down production. Then during the after-show, "End of Days," Levi reveals the real reason his crew was forced to shut down production.
Below, watch Levi and Esther answer fan questions and tune in for the two-hour Season 3 finale of "Amish Mafia" Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery.

A 2004 movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a 2007 fantasy-adventure film directed by David Yates and based on the novel of the same name by J. K. Rowling. It is the fifth instalment in the Harry Potter film series, and is written by Michael Goldenberg and produced by David Heyman and David Barron. The story followsHarry Potter, a teen wizard in his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as the Ministry of Magic refuses to believe the return of the Dark Lord Voldemort, and so appoints bureaucrat Dolores Umbridgeas a teacher at the magical school. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, alongside Rupert Grint andEmma Watson as Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The supporting cast featuresRalph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Imelda Staunton, Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter.
Live-action filming took place in England and Scotland for exterior locations and Leavesden Film Studios inWatford for interior locations from February to November 2006, with a one-month break in June. Post-production on the film continued for several months afterwards to add in visual effects. The film's budget was reportedly between £75 and 100 million ($150–200 million).[2][3] Warner Bros., the distributor of the film, released it in the UK on 12 July 2007, and in North America on 11 July, both in conventional and IMAX theatres, and was the first Potter film to be released in IMAX 3-D.
It is the unadjusted 10th highest-grossing film of all time, and a critical and commercial success, acclaimed as "the best one yet"[4] by Rowling, who has consistently offered praise for the film adaptations of her work.[5][6][7]The film opened to a worldwide 5-day opening of $333 million, fourth all-time, and grossed $939 million total, second to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the greatest total of 2007.

The Lent Night Show
The Hunger started in 1998 with the goals of:
- Supporting Catholic Missions
- Birthing missionary hearts in those who participate
- Helping parishes and participants recognize our responsibility to those less fortunate
- To learn about the condition of our own heart
- Offer a wholly Catholic fasting program supporting all stages of life
We have come to believe:
- Everyone is called to mission simply by virtue of being a member of the Body of Christ. The way this is takes place is endless from going on a mission to supporting missions and missionaries financially; by donating items or by working within organizations to change laws or conditions.
- When one goes on mission, one goes and does what needs to be done. (not necessarily what one wants to do)
- When one goes on mission, one goes with whoever else is going and discovers friends through the experience.
- God will birth missionary hearts in those who participate and allow Him to work through your hands.
- Prayer is foundational to action.
- Abuja fact sheet
WHAT: 30 hour fast experience for youth & adults.
WHERE: Overnight site is Epiphany Catholic Church, Coon Rapids, MN
WHO: Anyone interested, 7th Grade & up, friends welcome.

The U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee has approved a bill that would cut the National Endowment for the Arts by 49 percent. I think this is a terrible idea and call on our congressional delegation to reject this cut.

A school's grade means that my children will be taught to the test and will not get a full, rounded education, as I did at their age. A school's grade implies that there is a correlation between a higher grade and increased pressure put on teachers, administration and students to perform. The test dictates what the child will learn.
All through his years of schooling, David Johns was one of the few African-Americans in his classroom, from the high school in Los Angeles that was nearly an hour-long bus ride away—but that his mother insisted he attend—to Columbia University in New York. Even when he taught elementary school in Manhattan, not a single black student sat behind one of the desks before him.
The Shelby County Board of Education is expanding its science and technology programs this year by offering Chelsea Middle School the same robotics course available at Oak Mountain Middle School.
Two weeks before the start of school, dozens of students have learned their classes have been eliminated. Officials from the New Haven School District said the Microsociety Magnet School's 6th, 7th, and 8th grades have been cut because of a $3 million deficit and students affected must begin a new school year at a different school.
Four people with varied backgrounds—in computer science, art, math and design—have banded together in Brooklyn to rethink how programming is taught and opened the School for Poetic Computation.
Cedarbrook Middle School will delay its first day of school, scheduled for Sept. 3, due to a mold problem, according to Cheltenham School District. Superintendent Natalie Thomas described Cedarbrook's mold issue to be a "fairly significant" problem and added that the district did not anticipate the school to open Sept. 4 either.
Keith Evans, head of Henrico County's Collegiate School, has accepted a similar position in Atlanta, but he'll stay in Richmond for the 2013-2014 school year. His departure is the second of the school's leadership team this year.
Parents enrolling their teens in middle and high school in the Flowing Wells Unified School District in Tucson are being asked to sign a pledge promising to lock up their guns and teach their children about the "dangers and consequences" of the misuse of firearms as part of the district's registration process.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said the city will seek to borrow $50 million to avoid a delayed start to the public-school year for 136,000 students. A cash infusion would enable schools Superintendent William Hite Jr. to rehire 1,000 counselors, assistant principals, aides, and others who were among 4,100 employees laid off earlier this year.

An old Army buddy of mine invited me for a weekend of golf recently. Imagine my surprise if I found that, in Florida, they used a smaller golf ball. Mine would not fit in the holes and my clubs and swing would not be calibrated to the Florida balls. Fortunately, this never happens because the game of golf has standards. All balls must meet the same size, weight, velocity, and distance specifications to be considered a "golf ball."
Ruiz was one of six finalists out of more than 140,000 students from across the country who entered the U.S. competition to demonstrate their skills at Microsoft desktop computing applications. Finalists took timed exams and conducted interviews to prove their expertise.
During an awards ceremony Tuesday night at BBVA Compass Plaza, Westside High School graduates Alex Suryapranata and Mateo Valencia, along with Sharpstown International School graduate Dora "Edith" Almazan, each received a $5,000 scholarship after completing a financial education course in high school. All three recipients plan to attend the University of Texas at Austin.
Without fanfare, the district posted an official "request for proposals" to its website Monday that invites charter schools to apply to open shop in what the school district has identified as priority neighborhoods—large swaths of the Southwest and Northwest sides.

(1913-2013) One Hundred Years of Darkness Ends: Bitcoin Breaks the Bank
24th December 2013
"Those who create and issue the money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people." – Reginald McKenna President of the Midlands Bank of England
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." – Henry Ford
"The powers vested in the Federal Reserve Board seem to me highly dangerous, especially where there is political control of the Board. I should be sorry to hold stock in a bank subject to such domination. The bill as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency…. I had hoped to support this bill, but I can not vote for it as it stands, because it seems to me to contain features and to rest upon principles in the highest degree menacing to our prosperity, to stability in business, and to the general welfare of the people of the United States." Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Dec 17, 1913
Glinda :"You've always had the power to go back to Kansas." Frank Baums 'Wizard of Oz'
(ActivistPost) - The single most important and by far the most powerful blow to post-Rome humanity has been the global banking cartel's attachment of a counterfeit United States Federal agency (The Federal Reserve) to the organic United States Treasury; a parasite, attaching itself to the economic life blood of the American States.

Over buttered scones and crumpets
Weeping, weeping multitudes
Droop in a hundred A.B.C.'s.
—T. S. Eliot, "A Cooking Egg"
When Patrick Hamilton wrote to his brother, Bruce, of the "magnifying influence of beer—the neurotics' microscope," he wasn't blowing smoke; he was faithfully expressing what for him had assumed the knife-sharp form of dogma. For Hamilton, one of the hardest-drinking authors of the twentieth century, there was more in his topped-off flask than the boozy business, though; he deftly mastered an entire worldview of late-'30s and early-'40s London and the precincts his working-class subjects haunted—not just the grubby alcoholism, the evenings of ale and pink gin and whiskey, and the fevered attempts to find an establishment open after last call but also the more plebeian desire for tea at the

A little bit about who I am. I am a creative, imaginative (at least I like to think that there is a difference), friendly, good listener, sensual, fun loving, and picky individual. Love the Red Sox, though most of my friends are Yankee fans. Guess I can get along with just about anyone then. Dabble in computer programing, but work as a quality control inspector for a company that makes train horns. My hobbies are composing music, and making rated G to PG-13 equivalent independent movies. I love to support my friends in the performing arts, and love to catch a show and see the bands live. I do miss being in front of an audience, but have changed my priorities.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to getting to know you.

Our current economic crisis is partly a result of poor decisions made in the past by some of our elected legislators and former governors. Those decisions, in my opinion, were based on poor reasoning of where Alaskans' priorities and interests are best represented and served in the long term.
I apologize for the letter expressing my beliefs about diplomacy as opposed to war with Iran in Tuesday's Clarion. More precisely this letter was written by the Vice President of Veterans for Peace and I failed to acknowledge his authorship. It was so well written I succumbed to my desire to look good and to claim association with his ideas without realizing that I was plagiarizing him. I am sorry for doing so.
I was born in 1932 and grew up with all the fear and negativism of adults who had just experienced the great depression and were living in ignorance of people that were different from themselves. Fortunately at an early age I learned there has got to be a better way to live and act than the ways we were existing.
Although our world has changed, that learning appears to be just as true today as then.
The good news is that teachers and students are standing up and speaking out in favor of educational policies that educate students more fully than the limited anti-education policies proposed by three members of the school board in Colorado. (Jack Healy, the New York Times, September 23, 2014)
The good news is people are speaking up and people are being heard as evidenced by the recent developments in responses to violent actions against women. Today a CNN news anchor announced the Baltimore Ravens has terminated their 4 million dollar contract with their star running back Ray Rice. Ray Rice is the person who was caught on video knocking out Janay Palmer in the elevator at a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in February of this year. In addition to being brutal, his disrespect for his fiancee was demonstrated further by the way he dragged her from the elevator.
The title to a recent Amy Dickinson advice column caught my attention and lead me to the question about domestic violence. I was so shocked by the brutality of the writer's co-worker and his dilemma that I wrote the following letter to Amy and him before reading her answer to the question.
Another option for the man in Iowa is to simply pick up the phone or his cell phone dial 911 and say "I am witnessing domestic violence committed by so and so at such and such address." I am confident that the people on the other end will handle the domestic abuser from there on out.
Huffington Post is emphasizing National Women's Health Week, May 12-18, in several ways.
Sandra Fluke pointed out the crisis of sexual assaults in America's universities and colleges (May 14). According to statistics, 193,200 of 966,000 women earning degrees will be either raped or sexually assaulted before they earn their degrees.
For some time now the nature of public education and it's future has been the subject of much debate and rightfully so. The futures of young people and their parents, Alaskans, Americans and citizens of our world are tied to the decisions we are making today.
The U.S. edition of the Feb. 27 Guardian reported on a press conference given by Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday. In this conference he decried what he called a "new isolationism" in the United States. He suggested "that the country is beginning to behave like a poor country" and cuts to the state department's budget due to House Republican demands are hurting our peace efforts in Syria and Iran.
The Juneau Empire editorial published in the Feb. 6 Peninsula Clarion caught my eye and stimulated me to reflect on some of my experiences with education in Alaska. I think those experiences speak to a major problem in our approach to educating our children and particularly here in Alaska.
In 1976 the beginning salary for a new teacher in the Kenai Peninsula Borough was about $26,000. This salary was based on the new teacher's investment of 4 years of study, of thousands of dollars in tuition, living expenses and of four years of lost wages.

Farmers like to think of themselves as independent and self sufficient. In reality, they are typically very dependent on their neighbors, and the dependency of farmers is something they struggle with every day. Quite simply, many projects are just too big for an "individual" farmer to handle. The classical "barn-raising" is a very concrete example of how farmers have often depended on help from neighbors -- because erecting a barn is very difficult to do alone, and the labor costs may well be too much for the farmer. Thus, in many rural communities, farmers have historically helped each other by banding together to raise each others barns.
Barn-raising represents just one method that under-capitalized farmers have used raise the support they need for their enterprises. Like traditional barn-raising, many of the methods involve support from communities. A currently popular form of "barn-raising" is the "CSA" -- literally "Community Supported Agriculture", although to many the term has come to simply represent pre-paying for cheap, fresh veggies. Another common type of "barn-raising" is the crowdfunding campaign. Not surprisingly there is even a crowdfunding site called Barn Raiser. One challenge farmers struggle with, when forming CSAs or when crowdfunding, is the challenge to be fair with their supporters.
Let's be honest here -- informal contracts like CSAs and crowdfunding campaigns can be unbalanced. Crowdfunding campaigns can, for example, simply function as outreach for charitable donations. I often wonder what people think when we farmers want people to donate to our "back-to-the-land" dreams. Particularly since so many people struggle in jobs that seem, at least on the surface, less rewarding than our "jobs" outside on the land and not tied to an office. On the other side of things, now that crowdfunding for farms has become so commonplace, farmers are often driven to provide competitive "rewards" that are unrealistic and more costly to produce and distribute than the corresponding monetary pledge received.
We have tried both the CSA model, and the crowdfunding model, and have struggled with both. We have gotten pledges that probably felt like charitable donations, to the givers. We have also distributed rewards that cost much more to harvest, assemble and distribute than the corresponding monetary pledge. The other problem we have faced is that the fair "rewards" we have had to offer -- primarily new, exciting varieties of tomatoes -- don't seem to fit very well with the standard crowdfunding model. Either that, or we have simply not been able to figure out how to find the people for whom our "rewards" would represent a fair transaction for both parties.
Fortunately, our tomato breeding business has really developed rapidly in the past few years, and this has stabilized our overall business which from the start we envisioned as a farming-breeding business. Our tomato varieties are now available nationally and internationally via our main partners Johnny's Selected Seeds and AP Whaley Seed Company, and we have long-term contracts with both of these partners that have greatly increased our tomato breeding productivity. Royalty payments, paid by the companies distributing our varieties, have started to kick in this year. They will be increasing progressively in the coming years, and they will be critical for the repayment of the remaining debt we have related to our business startup.
This winter we are in a unique position. We have been paying down debt this year and our prospects going forward are exciting. However, we are also scaling up our breeding efforts and we still find ourselves "under-capitalized". For example, we are selecting the final sub-strains for six new tomato varieties, as well as doing earlier selection work for new tomato varieties, in two Mexican locations with a collaborating family farm. We also have an extensive crossing project underway in rented greenhouses in Berkeley. Add to this the fact that our annual farm rent is due in January, and this amounts to one more year of a winter cash shortfall that is so common to farming businesses.
In an effort to ease this shortfall, we are looking for barnraisers. You help us with our barn, and we'll help you with yours. We are looking for Collaborating Members for our farming-breeding business. Here's how it works:
1. The "barn" we need to "raise" represents part of our winter breeding costs, combined with part of our annual farm rent.
2. In return for help with our "barn" we would like to help build the figurative "barns" of farmers and gardeners who want early access to our best new varieties. Benefits may take the form of "bragging rights" for gardeners, or access to unique tomatoes that will help a small farm stand out at the farmers' market.
3. We are looking for our tomato-loving neighbors. We are looking for people who will contribute a very modest amount of "seed money" in return for our best new varieties. We also want collaborators who will communicate with us for the next 10 years. We want early feedback on our best new tomato varieties so we can better help all of our customers understand how they can be better grown successfully. In return, we will make sure our Collaborating Members (our barnraisers) get all our best varieties ahead of time, and we will also make every effort to provide additional seed for the varieties that are working for them -- even if the official release of a variety they really like is delayed.
This is not charity. People often ask us for charity too. They want our new varieties ahead of time -- and frankly, we can not afford to just give them out. We have invested too much, and we need to get a return on that investment. But, we do want to make sure that everyone who becomes one of our "Collaborating Members" is more than fairly compensated for the cost to join. We don't want charity either.
One final request -- Please help us find our neighbors. What we have to offer may well not be what you need. But, if you know a farmer or gardener who loves tomatoes, particularly unique ones, please let them know about this barnraising.

The Magnificent Seven: 2015 Varieties for Collaborating Members
Seeds for the following tomato varieties will be delivered to our collaborating members in January 2015:
1. Jazz -- Pink beefsteak with yellow stripes. Very sweet, rich flavor. Early versions of Jazz are shown in the photograph above. Since then we have selected for shape uniformity (with less folding) and added firmness. This is a great tomato for specialty farmers. This variety has been selected under disease pressure for the past 8 years, and it forms very vigorous vines that are relatively resistant to fungal pathogens. Slated for release Fall 2015
2. Yellow Jazz -- Yellow bicolor beefsteak with yellow stripes. Bright, tropical, sweet flavor. Early versions of Yellow Jazz are shown in the photograph above. Since then we have selected for shape uniformity (with less folding) and added firmness. This is a great tomato for specialty farmers. This variety has been selected under disease pressure for the past 8 years, and it forms very vigorous vines that are relatively resistant to fungal pathogens. Slated for release Fall 2015
3. Orange Jazz -- Orange beefsteak with yellow stripes. Very unique looking tomato. Sweet flavor has hints of peaches. This is a great tomato for specialty farmers. This variety has been selected under disease pressure for the past 5 years, and it forms very vigorous vines that are relatively resistant to fungal pathogens. Slated for release Fall 2015
4. Marzano Fire -- Red San Marzano-type tomato with yellow stripes. The dry, meaty flesh and few seeds make this tomato excellent for sauces. Vines are vigorous and productive. Great for gardeners who want an incomparable sauce tomato. Slated for release Fall 2015
5. Fire -- A versatile meaty paste tomato. Yellow bicolor with yellow stripes. Selected for firmness, and fresh-flavor characteristics. This tomato is great for use in Caprese salads. The marbled flesh is very attractive and the fresh flavor is comparable to beefsteaks, when fruits are full-ripe. Firm tomatoes (slightly pre-ripe, but full-color) are excellent for making sauces and for canning. Slated for release Fall 2015
6. Sunol -- Orange paste tomato with very fine-grained flesh and delicate flavor. Excellent when used to make light orange sauces for pasta dishes. Can also be used with red sauce tomatoes to sweeten and brighten more typical sauces. Also good fresh, as a salad tomato. Slated for release Fall 2015
7. Spike -- Deep orange medium-sized tomato with stripes that vary from green to gold. This is the perfect tomato for small backyard spaces. Bushy vines are very productive, and the foliage is lacy. Packed with flavor, which is great off the vine. Rapid ripening and soft flesh present packing and delivery challenges for small growers. This tomato is really best suited to gardeners, and the flavor is truly outstanding -- a mix of sweet and tangy, and very bold. Spike has been released on a limited basis for years in the Bay Area, where we have sold Spike seedlings for almost 10 years. Currently available for purchase at www.growartisan.com
Collaborating members in the Bay Area can choose to get seedlings, instead of seeds. Email us for more information.

Terremoto Squash Landrace
By 2007 we had selected a handful of excellent pumpkinesque winter squash to grow, from among a large number we trialed in 2006. Chief among them was Triamble, an Australian blue squash. We loved the shape and the density, and Triamble also has a clean, small-grained flesh. It's deep orange interior flesh is extremely flavorful, and it is an excellent variety for use in soups and as a hearty vegetable.
In 2007 we collected seed from our best Triamble fruits. Because bees very actively transport pollen from flower to flower in squash fields, many of the seeds from those Triamble fruits contained hybrid embryos between Triamble and other squash growing nearby. Thus when we grew plants from the "Triamble" seed in 2008, fruits of many sizes, shapes and colors were produced.
Starting in 2008 we began selecting our favorite 3-lobed squash every year, and saving seed from the best fruits. The result is our current landrace of 3-lobed squash -- the Terremoto landrace. Most of the squash produced each year are hard-shelled, and pink. But many of them are softer-skinned and orange. In addition to these two main types, we also still get some hard blue squash, soft-skinned green squash and even a small amount of squash with the coloration of Lakota squash (one of our favorites in 2007). We even have a few every year that have sugar warts, which is not a surprise, because Galeaux d"Eysines was is one of the founding varieties in our landrace.
Because we only select 3-lobed squash for seed saving, almost all of the squash produced from saved seed is now 3 (or 4) lobed. While we select more pink and orange squash for seed harvesting, we do also select a few squash that are other colors as well, each year. The cross-pollination work of the bees is also important, as it keeps the population "mixed-up" and interesting.
The development of our Terremoto Landrace is an example of an alternative breeding approach often used by farmers. It is not always necessary (or desired) to push varieties to genetic uniformity. Keeping additional genetic diversity within a population is a good thing for many reasons, and for us one of the primary reasons is that our Terremoto Landrace sets our farmers' market stand apart from others. Our customers love the shape and density of our 3-lobed squash, and they love the array of colors. The hard-shelled forms can be kept for over a year, and then eaten after extended use for decoration.
Seeds for our Terremoto Landrace can be purchased from our Artisan Seeds online store.

How can we provide all these new tomato varieties? It's simple — although we operate a 6-acre organic farm,our primary business is plant breeding. We have a large number of open-pollinated varieties (like our Artisan Cherry Tomatoes) that are either finished, or in their final phases of testing. We are also now breeding some new gourmet F1 hybrids tomatoes, with small organic growers in mind. These new varieties will contain disease resistance traits and increased shelf-life traits that, for small growers, can mean the difference between making and losing money on a tomato crop.

The story of Blush continues...
Blush: Masterminded by Alex. This tomato spawned a "rule" of breeding that we live by.
Blush was recently a taste-test winner in Pennyslvania. Check out the tally sheet from the Franklin County Master Gardener's taste test (September 11, 2012)
Our julienne cherry tomato -- Blush -- was created when Alex (age 8 at the time) decided to cross his two favorite tomatoes. It has been turning heads ever since.
Blush has also been very important as a parent line: A few years ago, when we had accumulated a group of round, striped cherry tomatoes, they looked great, but didn't compete with Blush in flavor. What did we do? We held them back, and crossed every single one to Blush. We think it was worth it, and now you can decide if you agree, because some of Blush's descendents are now available.
A little more history: The year that the cross that created Blush was made, Alex participated in setting up crosses for our annual winter crossing list. He chose 3 of the 19 crosses to be made that year, after the other 16 had been established (by a PhD-holding plant breeder with big plans). The striking outcome is that about 90% of the value from that year came from Alex's 3 crosses. The progeny from his crosses continue to permeate most everything we are doing.
What was Alex's breeding secret? He crossed his favorite tomatoes.
He didn't try to "fix" cool looking, but poor tasting, varieties. He picked his 4 favorite tomatoes and suggested 3 crosses. The striking results from that year spawned "Alex's Rule" of tomato breeding: Cross tomatoes that taste great with other tomatoes that taste great -- because it is hard to get a mediocre-tasting tomato from two parents who taste great.

Mareko Fana Diversity
The Mareko Fana that Menkir Tamrat brought us two years ago is probably best characterized as a "land race". Some are short, some are long. Most are brown but some are red. Most are thick-fleshed, but some are thin-skinned and delicate.
We are going to be evaluating and playing around with the diversity of our populations for a long time to come. However, in the short term we are selecting for two types of Mareko Fana:
Mareko Fana: Brown and thick-fleshed. Excellent for making Berbere spice. We typically use these mature, and dry them before use.
Mareko Fana Red: Red, thin-skinned and delicate. Fantastic as a frying pepper. We typically pick many of these young, and sell (or eat) them as frying peppers. The taste is mild when they are young.

The phenomenon of disappearing aboriginal cultures -- and languages -- isn't what I would call sad. It is something far more dire, akin to the disappearance of the rainforests.
The last speaker of an ancient language in India's Andaman Islands has died at the age of about 85, a leading linguist has told the BBC....

Thumbs UP to Mikayla Neer, the Milan teen who danced her way into the Protg Scholarship at the PULSE dance convention in Chicago. More than an award, the scholarship entitles her to work with choreographers at any PULSE dance convention for the next year. That's more than a nod for a job well done; that's a door to a future.
Thumbs UP to the McCune family, who hope the restaurant they plan to open at 101 Water St. is part of a downtown revival. Starting anything is risky, but the McCunes know about running a business -- so all we can do is applaud anyone who wants to take a clear-eyed look at downtown business prospects and decide its worth a shot.
Thumbs UP to Olmsted Falls School Superintendent Todd Hoadley, for chutzpah if for nothing else, because he asked for part of the ever-widening bailout fund for his suburban Cleveland district. It's not just a stunt -- Hoadley said he's expecting some federal cash to help his district. Still, consider a point made -- Ohio's school funding system is still broken, and local voters just can't or won't approve another levy, and schools are expected to take on more and more roles, and it all has to be paid for somehow.
Thumbs DOWN to any moron -- the weekend's partiers at Kalahari are only the latest edition -- who has to solve a disagreement with fists and knives. Thanks for turning -- something stupid, we're sure -- into a brawl involving hundreds of people. Meanwhile, thumbs UP to local law enforcement who, not sure what this was going to turn into, waded into it. Yes, they were doing their job. But it's light years from the small-town police work it used to be, and that's not always a good thing.

Rady School of Management
|Rady School of Management
|Robert S. Sullivan
Academic staff
|La Jolla, California, USA

The Rady School of Management at the University of California, San Diego is a graduate-level business school offering full-time and part-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree programs in addition to non-degree executive development programs, Ph.D.s and undergraduate courses including a minor in accounting. The Rady School of Management is the newest professional school at the University of California, San Diego, one of the top-ranked institutions in the U.S. for higher education and research. UC San Diego's lineage includes 16 Nobel laureates (former and current faculty).
The school was created in response to the need for strong management and leadership skills in the innovation-driven economy. The Rady School's theme is impact, created through discovery brought to the marketplace, products launched, new service models established, companies started or reinvented.
The Rady School offers the MBA program in two formats, the FlexMBA and the Full-Time MBA. The FlexMBA program is designed for working professionals. Its weekend or evening schedule options accommodate students, allowing them to meet educational and professional development goals, while continuing to work. The Full-Time MBA program is an immersion, allowing students to achieve new knowledge, new professional tools and intensive personal growth.
The MBA curriculum places a special emphasis on issues faced by innovation-driven companies, with a focus on the life sciences and technology industries, allowing Rady MBAs to develop expertise in these key industry sectors. The school works collaboratively with the business community and the UC San Diego campus.
Students pursuing their MBA can participate in the Rady Venture Fund, a student-assisted venture capital fund that provides a source of funding for local startup companies in addition to teaching graduate students about venture finance, investment analysis and fund management.[1]
- Executive Development
The Rady Center for Executive Development offers programs for professionals looking to develop their business acumen in a non-degreed format. The Center offers custom programs, open enrollment programs, half-day courses in the Learning Consortium series and a leadership assessment program.
- Undergraduate
The Rady School offers undergraduate minors in accounting and business; the two are currently the most popular undergraduate minors at UC San Diego.[2][3] Approximately 1,230 undergraduates pursue the business minor per year, while 510 enroll in the accounting minor.[4]
For the 2015-16 school year, the Rady School plans to introduce a third undergraduate minor in entrepreneurship and innovation. This minor will be anchored by a two-course practicum sequence that will allow students to hone their entrepreneurship skills.[4]
- Ph.D.
The Rady School offers a Ph.D. program in management. This program started in fall 2009.[5]
- MBA/Ph.D.
The Rady School also offers a concurrent MBA degree for students pursuing a Ph.D. at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. [6]
- Master of Finance
Since fall 2014, the Rady School has offered a Master of Finance program. [7]
Founding dean[edit]
Robert S. Sullivan, Ph.D., was appointed founding dean on January 1, 2003. Prior to his arrival at UCSD, he served as dean of the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and as dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon University. On July 1, 2013, Robert S. Sullivan was named the chair of the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).[8]
Distinguished faculty[edit]
Harry Markowitz, an American economist who won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, is an adjunct professor of finance at the Rady School of Management. He is best known for his pioneering work in modern portfolio theory, studying the effects of asset risk, return, correlation and diversification on probable investment portfolio returns.
Otterson Hall was named in honor of the late William (Bill) Otterson, co-founder of UCSD CONNECT, in appreciation for his contributions to the San Diego business community and his impact on the region.
The facility comprises 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of classrooms, offices, and community space, and serves as the permanent home to the Rady School. The building provides views overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Salk Institute, Torrey Pines Golf Course, and the Torrey Pines Gliderport.[9] Otterson Hall is powered in part by a rooftop solar photovoltaic system.
The school began construction in 2010 on a new building, Wells Fargo Hall, which has completed May 2012. The building funds come from a public and private partnership. The new five-story structure will connect with Otterson Hall and feature pedestrian walkways and an outdoor seating area.[10]
The expansion will provide additional classroom space, faculty offices, and team study rooms for undergraduate and MBA use. It will also include multi-purpose conference rooms and room for the expansion of the Center for Executive Development and student services center.[11]
The Beyster Institute[edit]
The Beyster Institute at the Rady School focuses on training, education and consulting in entrepreneurship and employee ownership. The Beyster Institute was established by Dr. J. Robert Beyster -- founder of Science Applications International Corporation in 2002. It became a part of the Rady School in 2004.[12]

Bonnie Fuller, Star magazine editor, author of The Joys of Much Too Much: Go for the Big Life — The Great Career, The Perfect Guy, and Everything Else You've Ever Wanted, and mother of four, offers a disturbing glimpse into her brain today on the Huffington Post. Turns out it really is just a dusty swirl of celebrities, body issues, and ego! Bonnie has been moved by the plight of Britney Spears, she says, but not quite in the way that you might think. She finds Britney's poor parenting skills kind of comforting. Quoth the Fuller:
It's not that I and women like me don't care about the plight of little Sean Preston and Jayden James. We do. Obsessively so. And we're relieved that the unlikely dad of the year, K-Fed, has primary custody. Nevertheless, every time that our girl Brit cluelessly tries to whitestrip her toddler's teeth instead of brushing them or runs a red light with the court-appointed monitor and her two sons all strapped in her car, working moms across the continent can set back our own personal guilt-meters about our mothering skills.
Really, Bonnie? You and "women like you" feel this way? Okay then, mothers of America, please raise your hand if you see celebrity mothers as "guilt-evaporators"; or if it has ever once occurred to you to "pat yourself on the back" for not being as bad a mom as Britney Spears. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Comedienne Elizabeth Tryon to Debut Solo Comedy Show, 2/19
Singer-comedienne Elizabeth Tryon will debut her first solo comedy and vocal music show in New York City, at the legendary Caroline's on Broadway Comedy Club in Times Square, NY on February 19, 2013 at 7:00PM, in a one night only performance. In her show, "There's A Phantom in my Opera," a contemporary Victor Borge-style show, written and performed by a singer rather than a pianist, Tryon unites several different styles of music with comedy.
Tryon presents classical singing alongside football penalty flags, juggling, talking on the phone, and a healthy dose of Broadway and pop music mixed in, thus reaching out to classical concert fans and first time concert goers alike. Here's a quick clip to give you an idea: http://youtu.be/yk1tQzBuo9w
"As fans of classical music know, classical music does not have a great deal of comedy. I'm trying to reach an audience who would never dream of going to hear classical music in any form. In my show, I take a concert theme and play it for laughs, like a "Saturday Night
Live" sketch. It is a loving but funny homage to opera, Broadway music scores, classical music and pop concerts," says Tryon.
The show also features pianist Matthew Martin Ward, formerly musical director of two seasons of the Off Broadway comedy hit Forbidden Broadway, and Manhattan School of Music graduate, Bradley Lassiter, as The Phantom.
"Tryon is a rare performer who has both pop and classical chops, beauty and a great sense of comedy," said Elliott Forrest, Weekend Morning Host, WQXR Radio, New York's premiere classical radio station.
This is Tryon's second time performing at Caroline's. Last year, Tryon was a finalist and performed on PBS Television in WQXR radio's international comedy and music competition, called "That's Classic." Among the judges were comedian Robert Klein, opera singer Deborah
Voigt, Peter Schikele, and Charles Hamlen. The show was filmed at the venue and owner Caroline Hirsch herself was surprised at the full house the show commanded.
As a singer, she has performed with Broadway star Bob Cuccioli at a tribute concert to pianist Byron Janis, at the Walter Reade Theater atLincoln Center, at Feinstein's at the Regency, and at the Metropolitan Room, where Black Tie International Magazine described her as "a
magical talent to be treasured." She's had numerous solo roles in operas such as Cosi Fan Tutte, Daughter of the Regiment, Tales of Hoffmann with companies in New York City and abroad, and on numerous radio stations. She also performed improvisational comedy at the New York Comedy Club for three years.
Tryon grew up in Briarcliff Manor, a suburb north of Manhattan. She studied classical singing at Indiana University School of Music and in New York City, where she lives.

Northern Illinois has done it, according to Pete Thamel. The MAC will reportedly get its first team into the BCS, where they'll take on 11-2 ACC champion Florida State, which just survived Georgia Tech in a grueling conference title game after falling to Florida.
NIU boasts one of the most exciting players in the country in quarterback Jordan Lynch, but also just lost coach Dave Doeren to N.C. State.
The 2013 Orange Bowl will take place soon after the conclusion of the Rose Bowl, and is the second of the major BCS bowls this season. It has often featured the ACC champion squaring off with the Big East champion, although some of its most memorably games from the past featured teams like Nebraska.
TV schedule: Tuesday, January 1st, 8:30 PM, ESPN
Locale: Miami, FL; [Sun Life Stadium, 78,468 capacity]
My thoughts on the title sponsor's services: The Orange Bowl is sponsored by Discover. And of course, what better way to celebrate a week of revelry in Miami than a credit card that freely allows anyone to sign up for whatever total they desire?
Last year's score: West Virginia 70, Clemson 33
Last year's score: Michigan State Spartans 33, Georgia Bulldogs 30 (3OT)

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A Florida appeals court has upheld a lower court's ruling that ESPN didn't defame Don King in a special on the boxing promoter.
The episode of "Sports Century" included allegations that King cheated a hospital out of money from a benefit fight, owed money to boxer Meldrick Taylor and threatened to have him killed, and convinced doctors to invest in a movie on King's life that was never made.
King sued ESPN, ABC and Disney in Florida court for defamation, but the case was dismissed on summary judgment with a finding that he couldn't show "actual malice" from the defendants.
King argued on appeal that several email exchanges among ESPN producers showed the network harbored ill will toward him and wanted to portray him as a "huckster," "thug" and an "evil mob connected guy."
In its latest decision, the Florida appeals court says there is a difference between "ill will" and "actual malice." The latter is required by law from public figures who assert libel claims and is generally meant to mean that plaintiffs need to show knowledge of false information published with reckless disregard for the truth.
"Nothing in the record shows that ESPN purposefully made false statements about King in order to bolster the theme of the program or to inflict harm on King," writes Judge Dorian Damoorgian in his decision, adding that King couldn't establish that ESPN doubted the veracity or had reason to conduct a more thorough fact-check of those appearing on the program.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 5/17/12
ARLINGTON, Texas -- It's not the saves Joe Nathan is getting that's been the big surprise for the Texas closer. It's the velocity that's coming with the pitches from the 37-year-old that been the big revelation. "They might have put one of those bionic things in his arm," Texas manager Ron Washington joked. The velocity is no joking matter for batters though as Nathan mowed through three Oakland batters Wednesday night by striking out the side. It's the first time he's converted a save that way since Aug. 12, 2009. He did it Wednesday with a fastball that was consistently 95 to 96 mph. That's velocity Nathan, who has 269 saves, hasn't seen in a while. "I'm used to throwing 91, 92 mph and now to tip it up a little more the arm had to get used to it," said Nathan. "I probably hit it (the velocity) in '08 but not as consistent. I think now I'm much more consistent. This is more '07 or '06. That's the last time I was this consistent." Nathan said he's not surprised by the velocity...
