Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.
A few things about me: I'm from Lenexa, Kansas (outside Kansas City) Been living in LA for 6 years My parents are still happily married (just celebrated their 41st Anniversary) I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew and in my personal opinion, they are the best! I love animals and kids. Going to the San Diego Comic Con sometimes is on my bucket list. Traveling is very high on my list of things I love to do. I am the youngest of 3 girls. If I were to create my perfect man he would have all of the below traits, but perfect is boring. I'd love to find someone who has some of these qualities and be pleasantly surprised by new ones. Here goes: Confidence Success/drive in pursuit of passions in life Sense of humor. (Seriously. I live for this.) Friendly smile Smart Likes to travel Puts family first Gentle and kind Looking for a partner in crime I've learned I have the best connection with men who grew up with sisters. Is this just all in my head? I'm pretty self reliant, but I think it's a turn on when a man can and wants to be my protector. Not that I can't take care of my self. I did once have a brown belt in karate... Organized/Clean. Yeah, not a deal breaker since I love to clean anyway, but it'd be a bonus. Basically, I'd really like to find love and start a family one day. I've dreamed of this part of my life coming to fruition since I was a kid. Come on Universe! I'm ready!

And one player doesn't make your whole entire receiving corps great. Although like I said, we probably do need to add another WR, maybe there could be good value in the second round, lets see...
Printable View
I put no stock in anything Mike Preston has to say. I'll believe it when I read it from a more reliable source. If true though, I feel like it's a double edged sword.... it would take a losing season with a poor offensive performance for them to get rid of Cam apparently. As long as we have winning seasons, Cam's job is secure. So unless we can hope for a losing season (which we cannot do), we're stuck with the schmuck.
Eeking a win by the skin of our teeth is not the way we want to win games but Cam has a knack for pulling back on the throttle when we have a lead which has been one source of frustration for Ravens fans. Another frustration is the way we play up or down to the level of our competition...this bit us big time this year with our losses to the Jags and Seahawks (and almost the Cardinals). Three things I want to see out of Cam: 1) get more creative in his gameplans no matter who our opponent is, 2) make in-game adjustments as needed; 3) don't let off the gas pedal when we get a lead.
The thought of Cam staying is depressing though. I thought we would have Pagano here and Cam gone, not the other way around.
a.) Well, we have reached the playoffs 4 years and won a game in each. The D in all of those 4 years has not been a 2006, let alone a 2000. So, it can't be that terrible (despite the obvious frustrations)
b.) We may actually have speed on the outside to run an Air Coryell. Even this year, we've had a rookie with no TC and Lee Evans who was out most of the year. Another target, preferably someone above 6'4" would be ideal. Before that, we've had the personnel to run a WCO far better than the AC.
c.) Joe's entering his fifth year. It's also up to him to mould the O as he sees fit just as much as the O-coordinator. That's what the best QBs do.
d.) The O would look a lot better if the targets we do have can actually catch the damn ball on a more regular basis. If Hostler ends up going to Miami or so, that may help.
e.) The main concern is really the O-line. Yes, the playcalling doesn't help at times - sometimes, the total opposite. However, with a full offseason, it's not up to Cam to fix that - that's Ozzie's job (with the OL coach to make it better. A new one of those would help).
An improved O-line and one more target would give Cam all he needs. If he then screws up, then it's going to be on his shoulders.
Gotta be positive.
And hey, we may need a QB coach and Peyton could end up retiring due to injury. What a peculiar event that would be, Manning as Flacco's QB coach (not that it would happen).
When the game against the Patriots started I asked my wife what the first Ravens play would be. She said that she thought it would be a Ray Rice run pretty much straight ahead. I don't think anyone needs to say another word about the Ravens offense under Cam.
Isn't it funny how they moved up and down the field in the last three quarters of the game - when they decided to use Joe the way he should be used - IN A PASSING OFFENSE STUPID (directed at Cam Cameron of course)!
The Ravens next year with Cam as OC - 9 wins - 7 losses - NO PLAYOFFS.
If Cam is still OC don't be surprised if Joe does not sign a contract extension - in order to force the team's hand at the end of the 2012 season.
1..I don't doubt that there is some validity to what you say. But sometimes, not always, the development of WR's is in part due to the system. What I'm getting at is that for years we have heard that the Ravens' WR's 'can't get separation.' They don't get the kind of separation that the WR's on the potent passing offenses do, and it's fair to question how much of that is the design and how much is the lack of talent. Mark Clayton 'couldn't get separation' here under Cam or Billick but when he went to STL all of sudden he could. It is a combination of talent and design.
2. This is not a one year issue. It's at least a 4 year issue.
3. That's the question. The need for some change and diversification was apparent going into this year and it didn't happen. It is fair to question whether Cam can or will diversify.
4. Just look at the formations run by NO, NE, GB, then look at Cam's. The same formations over and over again are easier to defend, and the likelihood of defensive mistakes is lessened. One of the reasons for NO's success is that the multiple formations used put a lot of pressure on the defense and coverage errors result. Yes, they have some great receivers. The question is would they be that good in Cam's offense, and would the Ravens' WR's and passing game be more productive with someone else.
Sorry, haven't figured out how to break up the quotes. HJ
I don't see them re-signing Grubbs, although they'll try.
Foxworth, Carr, BA, McClain, Evans, JJ, Redding, McKinney, Kris Wilson, etc...
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they figured out ways to can every single one of those guys. They're going to need cap space for their rookies and I'd expect them to really look hard in free agency for a key piece or two just like last year with Leach and Pollard.
I think we will continue to make the playoffs though. Cam hasn't stopped us from getting that far. What he'll do is hold us back from getting to the top of the mountain. He'll be just conservative enough, just predictable enough, get just a little too little out of his receivers... enough... to fall short again and again.
He's too good to fire in a heartbeat, but not good enough to get us where we want to go.
2011: "Cam failed again but we'll keep him because there's a lockout and we need continuity. But this year Cam must prove he can do the job. No excuses."
2012: "Cam failed again but we lost Pagano and we need continuity. But this year Cam must prove he can do the job. No excuses!"
2013: "Cam failed again but we couldn't find any exciting names to replace him with. But this year Cam must prove he can do the job. No excuses!!!"
2014: "Cam failed again but we've been to the playoffs seven times in a row so we can't fire him. But this year Cam MUST prove he can do the job. No excuses!!!!!"
2015: "Cam failed again but it's because Anquan Boldin is old and should retire. But this year Cam MUST prove he can do the job. No excuses!!!!!"
2016: "Cam failed again but it's because LeMarcus Whoozat was a pretty bad left guard for us. But this year Cam *MUST* prove he can do the job. No excuses!!!!!"
2047: "Cam failed again but it's because he's old and senile. Give the guy a break he's about ninety years old. Too bad we haven't won a Super Bowl since 2000. I wonder why?"
The Pats were 15th in points allowed at 21 ppg (19 ppg at home).
So, if you're going to say that the Ravens only scored 20 points on the Pats (which really should have been 27, unless you are going to blame Evans' drop on Cam), then you have to compare that with the correct statistical ranking.
As for Cam, I don't think anybody is happy that he is coming back, but all the doom and gloom crap is dumb. When we need to make plays in our last 2 playoff games, Cam/Joe has put us in position to make them only to have our recievers drop passes at crucial times...Boldin go ahead TD drop with 3 minutes left in the game and TJ's drop to keep our last drive alive in Pitt last year, and Evans drop (to go along with our OL getting manhandled on a 3 man rush on the play before the FG that if Joe had a little more time and stayed in the pocket, Boldin was open at about the 10 and probably could have at least gotten out of bounds) on Sunday.
People forget that we've won 28 out of 32 games and had our OC and QB putting our guys in position to win these playoff games and perhaps get to the Superbowl, only to have players...the players, fail to make the routine play.
I think some are of the "anybody but Cam" mindframe...while I myself would like them to uncover someone else out there, I'd say some of you should be careful of what you wish for...beleive it or not, there ARE worse OC's out there than Cam...firing him just to fire him may not be the answer.
I've thought he was gone that last 2 years, but at this point, the names out there (Childress, Hue) haven't been really appealing to me.
That said, Mike Sherman is a name that would be interesting, now that it appears he's not getting the TB HC job (after having a 2nd interview).
A lot of people seemed to get hung up on this "31st ranked defense" thing where the Pats are concerned. Clearly they aren't as bad as that. As others have pointed out, New England is more stingy with points than they are with yardage. And the Ravens did get roughly 400 yards net offense, which isn't at all shabby.
Getting back to the topic of coordinators, I can't believe we lost Chuck Pagano so quickly. Sigh. Murphy's Law, I guess. Chuck leaves but (at least for now) Cam stays. I know it's not confirmed at this point, and that more changes could be in the offing, but this doesn't give me a warm & fuzzy looking ahead to the 2012 season. Could the Ravens find an OC better than Cam given who might be available? I don't know. But I'm not sure how much difference a new QB coach would really make as long as ol' Cam is in there calling the same predictable game plan. And the Ravens have a very tough schedule next year.

|Phase I/II Study of R04929097 With Bevacizumab in Patients With Recurrent Malignant Glioma
|Brief Summary
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of RO4929097 to see how well it works when given together with bevacizumab compared to bevacizumab alone in treating patients with progressive or recurrent malignant glioma. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving RO4929097 together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
|Detailed Description
I. Assess the safety profile and the recommended phase II dose of gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 (RO4929097) in combination with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent malignant glioma.
II. Assess the progression-free survival at 6 months of patients treated with this regimen.
III. Compare the overall survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with RO4929097 and bevacizumab versus bevacizumab alone.
I. Describe the toxicity associated with this regimen in these patients. II. Assess the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. III. Estimate the proportion of patients alive and progression-free survival at 6 months in patients treated with RO4929097 and bevacizumab versus bevacizumab alone.
IV. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of these regimens in these patients. V. Explore potential prognostic biomarkers from glioma tissue at baseline and potential association with Notch pathway inhibition.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study of gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 (RO4929097) followed by a randomized phase II study.
PHASE I: Patients receive oral RO4929097 on days 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, and 22-24, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15 (days 2 or 3 and 15 of course 1 only). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PHASE II: Patients are randomized* to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive oral RO4929097 on days 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, and 22-24, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15.
ARM II: Patients receive bevacizumab as in arm I.
In both arms, courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: *If phase II single-arm study demonstrates effectiveness, it will proceed to the phase II randomized study.
Some patients undergo blood sample collection for pharmacokinetic studies. Archived tumor tissue samples are analyzed for potential biomarkers and Notch pathway inhibition.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 2 months.

On Tuesday, one day after being sworn into office, New York Gov. David Paterson and his wife Michelle appeared before the press to defuse the issue of their past infidelity to one another.
"I betrayed a commitment to my wife several years ago, and I do not feel I've betrayed my commitment to the citizens of New York state," Paterson said during the press conference. "I haven't broken any laws, I don't think I've violated my oath of office, and I saw this as a private matter."
But Paterson also noted that his affairs occurred at a time when he "was jealous over Michelle," suggesting that her infidelity was part of the reason for his actions.
Paterson later backed off from this comment. However, if the pattern of behavior seen in the Paterson's marriage was indeed a case of retaliatory infidelity — also known as "revenge cheating" — it would not be the first high-profile example of this behavior.
In February, actress Valerie Bertinelli revealed on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" that she had cheated on rocker husband Eddie Van Halen during their marriage as revenge for his infidelity toward her. After a 21-year marriage, the couple split in 2002.
The phenomenon of revenge cheating was also recently parodied in the late-night television battle between comedienne Sarah Silverman and her talk-show host boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel. While Silverman "admitted" to an affair with actor Matt Damon in a music video on Kimmel's show, Kimmel later fired his own comedic salvo by presenting a star-studded production centered around his supposed tryst with actor Ben Affleck.
But in most cases, retaliatory infidelity is no laughing matter. And relationship experts agree that revenge cheating usually does much more harm to a relationship than good.
"There are no studies that I know of in this area," said William J. Doherty, director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at the University of Minnesota. "But my impression is that tit-for-tat affairs are not uncommon in conflicted, volatile relationships where spouses punish each other in a variety of ways, such as hitting, spending sprees, destroying each other's property, moving out, and affairs,"
"It is very common, although not always a conscious deliberate choice or action," agreed Patti Britton, Beverly Hills sex therapist and president of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
While many affairs may be based on boredom with a current partner or legitimate attraction to another person, retaliatory infidelity is often something different. In these cases, the motive for the cheating may be an attempt to restore "balance" to the relationship.
But the question remains: is there any way that such a strategy can be beneficial to a relationship that is already in trouble?
"It seems to me that there are only a couple of ways you can consider it in any way beneficial — and I'm not saying that it's beneficial," said Dr. Jacqueline Olds, a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass.
"One is so the aggrieved party does not feel so aggrieved because they made things equal," she explained. "It may make them feel as if they have given a person a taste of their own medicine.

Lodi wines compared to Texas wines, hats and cattle
Lodi's Bechthold Vineyard is named California's "Vineyard of the Year"
I can't quite put words to why I am profoundly comforted by the fact that a wine can also be a place, that mere fermented grapes can coalesce into a product of such rare beauty and meaning. – Randall Grahm (owner/winemaker, Bonny Doon Vineyard) To many of the growers and winemakers in Lodi today – now in their third, fourth, fifth or even sixth generation of Delta farming – the fruits of their labors have always been what has tethered their families to this American Viticultural Area, with or without the recognition of their peers in California or elsewhere.

Lodi's thirty-six % solution: delicious wines from less familiar grapes
One of the more interesting things to come along over the past year have been the "Seven % Solution" tastings popping up here and there. Originally conceived by a Healdsburg wine retailer, the 7% is in reference to the idea that 93% of the wine grape acreage in California's North Coast consists of just eight grapes, going into most of the popular varietal wines sold today: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. However, the Lodi AVA – California's largest single winegrowing region – skews the 7% formulation somewhat. Lodi is steady in multiple.. VIEW MORE »
Winter of 2014′s certain Slant of light
There's a certain Slant of light, Emily Dickinson famously wrote, describing "Winter." Don't we know it, whether or not we can put it into our own words. Winter in Lodi is not nearly as much of a Dickinsonian "Heavenly Hurt" as in colder climate regions, but we have our own "Shadows… holding their breath." This year, in 2014, it was a question of rain. In early February there was still doubt that we would ever get any, and the rows between vines normally bursting with green growth were bare, strangely desolate, inconsolable. In recent weeks, of course, the sandy loams.. VIEW MORE »
Distinguished judges share thoughts on the 12 Zins of Lodi 2014
The 12 Zins of Lodi 2014 have been chosen by a jury of eight respected wine professionals, as a result of a formal tasting taking place in San Francisco this past February 5th, organized by Charles Communications Associates for LoCA. These 12 Zinfandels were selected for being representative of the best of what the Lodi AVA has to offer today, in every price point; and samples will be sent out in care packages to media across the country. The jurists made their selection after tasting a total of 57 Lodi grown Zinfandels in a double-blind format – meaning, they did not know.. VIEW MORE »

very nice shot, well captured
Nominating Constructive Critique
Very nice Phil.
The emerging leaves are a real bonus and I particularly like the birds sideways pose,showing that long tail off.
I find the out of focus leaves on the right a little distracting and my preference would be to crop a small section off to lose them.

I find the copyright text detracts from the photo considerably for me - especially on a site like this - or is it done to advertise the fact that you are a professional photographer?
Is there any particular legal reason for posting it like this as if anyone wanted to steal your shot it could easily be cloned out. Given that the upload size of your photo is so small I would have thought that was unlikely to happen anyway.
Nominating Constructive Critique
I apologise if my copyright notice offends, no it is not to advertise the fact that I am a professional, the reason it is there is simply that I am lazy and the images posted here are repurposed.
I don't go out of my way to point out that I am a professional and as far as I am concerned it does not make me a better photographer, many of the wildlife photographers both here and elsewhere that I admire are not pros. I do try however to help people when I can, I don't get a great deal of time to comment so when I do I try to be constructive and point out where IMO improvements could be made and to that end I thought it would be useful for some of my images to be posted on this site.
So for all my repurposed images the copyright will remain as is my right.
All the best & thanks to everyone for the kind comments.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Fair enough. I didn't say it offended me at all, just that I found it detracted in that I found it intrusive.
It was actually just a genuine enquiry as to why people copyrighted these small photos. Didn't mean to irritate you. I just wondered if it made any legal difference in the event of anyone who might copy it. Wasn't trying to offend you.

Petition attracts initial support
McComb: More than 100 people have asked to help
CORPUS CHRISTI - Joe McComb hoped to gather 50 signatures by Sept. 1 on a petition that would require the City Council to consider tearing down Memorial Coliseum. By 4:30 p.m. Thursday, more than 100 people had e-mailed McComb asking to help circulate petitions.
Now McComb expects to turn in the petition with several hundred voters' signatures.
"I think the more the merrier," he said. "The council needs to understand really the depth of the feeling of the community. I think they're way underestimating the percentage of residents who want to get rid of that thing."
McComb, formerly a city councilman and county commissioner, is going forward with his petition drive despite objections from council members who say they are set to make a decision soon anyway.
A committee of council members and residents gathered comment last year and surmised that most residents want to keep the structure. The committee is set to bring proposals for the site to the council by November.
"If there is still no solution, then I certainly would see him having an appropriate timing with his valid concern," Councilwoman Nelda Martinez said Wednesday. "However, the timing is inappropriate. I'm disappointed he didn't gather more information."
A nonbinding petition in spring of 2007 drew about 500 signatures in support of preserving the coliseum.
The city-owned coliseum, which opened in 1954, was the site of community and entertainment events until American Bank Center opened in late 2004. The coliseum is a memorial to war veterans and is considered architecturally significant.
The proposed ordinance on the petition would require the city to erect an "appropriate memorial in an appropriate location" to honor local people who died in World War II. McComb said he thought nearby Sherrill Park would be fitting.
After McComb turns in at least 50 voters' signatures on the petition, and the city verifies those, the City Council has 45 days to consider the ordinance.
If the council declines to adopt the ordinance, McComb then would decide whether to petition for a referendum to let voters decide the issue. He then would need to gather 5 percent of registered voters' signatures, or about 8,000, to force a vote during City Council elections next spring.
McComb has not placed the petitions at any locations around town. Those interested in signing or circulating a petition should contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Game 6
"Game 6," lyrically scripted by
Really, it's about a playwright named Nicky (
With DeLillo making his presence felt, "Game 6" is a lyrical piece, more invested with dramatic structure and figurative imagery than plot. The story takes place over one day as Nicky takes the journey from his apartment to his premiere in a series of cabs. Wherever he goes, he meets familiar faces from his past -- an old writing mentor (the loopy
There's sufficient whimsy to the piece that Keaton's role has to ground the drama, particularly with Downey going endearing over-the-edge with tics and mannerisms. Keaton, who has spent much of the past decade being misused in films, gets better as Nicky's sanity gets more precarious. In addition to Yulin and Dunne,
As a Red Sox fan and a writer, "Game 6" spoke to me. Other viewers, audience members without interest in baseball, DeLillo or criticism, may feel that the movie is just a short trip to nowhere, an 83-minute diversion and little more. For me, the movie traveled to a place that felt emotionally true.

The joke's on us…
July 5, 2012
From James Paterson
The government likes to boast that they've 'overcompensated' average households for the carbon tax. New research released by the IPA's Tim Wilson this week shows that won't last for long. Read Tim's article in The Australian on Tuesday or download the full report here.
Last week we had a good laugh about the European Union giving people extra holidays if they got sick whilst on leave. As many Hey readers told us, turns out the joke is on us: check out section 89 (2) of our very own Fair Work Act.
We also told you about the massive grab for power by the federal government following the High Court's chaplains decision. Legislation like this is exactly why the IPA has just launched our new Rule of Law Unit. Research Fellow Simon Breheny explains why it matters in the Sydney Morning Herald today.
And we think you will like this amusing video from Malcolm Turnbull that also makes a powerful point about media regulation. If you haven't yet joined the IPA's Press Freedom Campaign, you can do so here.
I enjoyed this from the New York Times recently on why political scientists are lousy forecasters and shouldn't be subsidised – from a political scientist! It must be the time for great articles in the NYT, because this piece on how an almost fully-privatised local government works is great too.
The US Supreme Court found Obamacare constitutional last week. Some argue there is a silver-lining. Mark Steyn, for one, isn't buying it. And this is an excellent list from Reason on the 5 most unlibertarian Supreme Court rulings ever.
And the US government seems intent on destroying childhood fantasies. A few weeks ago they told us there was no such thing as zombies. Now they tell us mermaids aren't real either?!
This is a fascinating long read from Wired magazine last month, on how millions of taxpayers' dollars are spent to make Olympic athletes "one one-hundredth of a second faster". And this is what you call an ambitious graph: the economic history of the world since Jesus.
Our guest Donna Laframboise has landed and spoke to Alan Jones on 2GB this morning about the carbon tax and the IPCC. Donna's talks in Melbourne and Sydney are now sold out, but you can still book to see her in Brisbane on 12 July and Perth on 15 July.
Here's what else the IPA said this week:

- Alan Moran, Carbon tax final straw in a lethal energy plan – The Herald Sun

On November 1st, Phaidon debuted 20th Century World Architecture: The Phaidon Atlas. It's a huge book with some 750 works of last century's architecture that range from homes to civic structures to tall towers, from Morocco to New Zealand to Puerto Rico. The usual suspects are out in force—Corbu, Mies, Frank Lloyd Wright—but they're joined by undersung regional architects and a healthy dollop of contemporary designers working at century's end. We had a chat with Phaidon's editorial director Emilia Perragni about how the tome came together, why it's organized like an atlas, and why it's so monstrously huge.
Emilia, this book is enormous. Why so massive?
Well, we took the idea of the atlas from the Times Atlas of the World. We wanted to have big pages so that we'd have one project per page so as to illustrate and create a good narrative around a project without having to flip the page. We want the reader to really understand the project with one glance. With a normal-size book you'd need two or three pages to convey the building. Plus, we like the idea of putting two different projects on one spread. They may be close to each other geographically, but could be completely different.
How much does the book weigh?
Eight kilos. I don't know what that is in pounds.
That's over 17 pounds. How is one supposed to hold a really long, wide, 17-pound book?
How do you usually read?
With a book on my lap, or holding it. How do you read?
I sometimes put books on the floor or a desk. Maybe a coffee table. This book is large, but it's not too dense. It's a real pleasure to go through.
I find that I return to geographical atlases over and over again because there's always some new detail to learn. Sure I know where Poland and France are, but in looking through an atlas I remind myself which river runs through Moscow, or I see precisely where some minor city is located.
Yes! That's part of why we organized this book like an atlas. By organizing things in a geographical sequence you have a project you know well, a masterpiece, and then next to it you have a nice surprise. There is continuous discovery with this book, which keeps you coming back. And it's the same for the images that we selected. We searched through lots of archival images to find pictures from the time the structures were built. We tried to capture the time in which the architect actually worked by showing pictures that depict the building at the time it was completed.
In an atlas, though, you might have equal space dedicated to each section of the globe. But in a trek through 20th-century architecture you're bound to spend more time in Europe and the USA than necessarily in Africa or Australia. How did you distribute the space given to each continent in the book?
Well, the idea of an atlas is that it looks at every corner of the world, and yes, most books about 20th-century architecture mainly focus on Europe and the USA with perhaps some in Japan and Latin America after the second World War. So we had to change our measure of quality from country to country. Sometimes in Africa the projects, on the whole, are less strong than those in, say, Switzerland. But within each country we're showing off the most important and best buildings. There are also countries which, in the 20th century, have gone through cycles of quality. In Russia, during the revolution and in the 20s and 30s you've got a lot of masterpieces. Then the period from the 70s to the 80s is not very interesting and finally toward the end of the century it picks up again. If we only showed the very best buildings of the 20th century then it would be a book with every Corbusier building.
And that book already exists several times over.
Yes. So a geographical approach is a fresh take on 20th-century architecture. For me, the best discoveries came in the countries I was less familiar with. The development of architecture in North Africa, in the early part of the century, was clearly greatly influenced by colonizing countries. And it's pretty incredible how those architects imported forms from Europe without much thought for how appropriate they are to their new locations. And then, as a new generation of local architects comes up they become far more aware of local materials and the local climate. You get a really interesting translation of the modernist movement into a great variety of regional movements.
In addition to being informative and eye-opening, this book is also really pretty. Were you conscious of trying to make a really beautiful reference book? It's not a genre of literature that tends to be very attractive.
In general, the design of a book is really important in relation to its content. We don't have in-house designers at Phaidon so whenever we do a book we try to understand which designer can really interpret our vision. In this case, we needed someone who could create a good narrative page-by-page. Then the designer had to combine our text—which is really accessible, no jargon—with the imagery to create real pleasure when looking at the page.

Tax retention regulations tightened
Historically, did not strictly apply tax retention regulations to pure supply arrangements (i.e., arrangements with no provision to render services either inside or outside Kuwait, even under a separate contract). The rationale was that, in practice, the KTA did not consider income from pure supply to be taxable in Kuwait.
Now, KPMG in Kuwait understands that the KTA is putting more emphasis on reviewing whether tax retentions should apply to pure supply arrangements and, in cases of non-compliance, disallowing the related costs claimed in the tax declaration.
As contract owners are increasingly likely to retain on supply arrangements, in the case of a pure supply arrangement, KTA officials have indicated informally that the supplier should approach the KTA together with a copy of the contract/ purchase order and obtain clarification on whether the contract owner is required to deduct tax retentions.
New format for Kuwait corporate income tax declarations
The KTA is currently discussing a new format for the annual corporate income tax declaration. While the new format is not yet publicly available, it will likely require a much more detailed breakdown of revenue and costs than the current format. It appears the KTA aims to encourage tax declarations filed on the basis of actual accounts rather than deemed profits. In addition, the KTA is encouraging tax declarations to be filed in compliance with all of the KTA's executive regulations.
Tax clearance certificates for Kuwait/GCC entities
Based on the recent experience of KPMG in Kuwait, the KTA is not issuing tax clearance certificates for Kuwaiti entities where either the company or any of its shareholders are in non-compliance with Zakat and/or National Labor Support Tax (NLST) regulations.
KPMG in Kuwait understands that this change is intended to increase enforcement of the Zakat and NLST regulations on Kuwaiti/GCC entities.
Zakat on GCC entities
In recent practice, the KTA has been requiring Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) shareholding entities operating in Kuwait to file a Zakat declaration for their operations in Kuwait in the same manner as Kuwait shareholding companies. This is in accordance with a ministerial order1 providing that all GCC entities should be treated equally to Kuwaiti entities.
KPMG in Kuwait understands that GCC entities are required to file Zakat declarations in Kuwait regardless of any physical presence in Kuwait.
Zakat on Kuwait government shareholdings
In the past, the KTA did not impose Zakat on the share of profit of Kuwaiti entities attributable to Kuwait government shareholdings. However, through recent Zakat assessments of Kuwaiti entities that the Kuwait government partially owns, the KTA has confirmed that Zakat should be imposed on the entire income – including the share of profit attributable to the Kuwait Government shareholding.
KPMG in Kuwait understands that entities that are wholly and directly owned by the Kuwait Government are not considered subject to Zakat.

Will an off-season of gambling pay off for the Mariners?
Rolling the dice It's been a rough go if you've been a fan or employee of the Seattle Mariners lately. Over the last few season now, the team has looked more like a three ring circus than a professional baseball organization. Whether it was the talent or the management, there has always been a source of blame. Eight of the last ten seasons saw the team finish with a losing record...

Grading the Mariners' Acquisitions
The MLB off-season has produced a lot of excitement thus far, but the past few weeks have been slower.

Why I prefer to camp deep in the woods
Yeah, that was an interesting night. Did I mention that the week before I happend to flip by the AMC channel and catch the part in Easy Rider where Jack Nicholson is killed while asleep in his sleeping bag?
Smeagol type conversation with myself at about 11:48PM:
"Could they be trying to kill ussssss?"
"No, surely not, they've probably been imbibing a little (lot?) and are just having some fun"
"Yeah, maybe thats why they didn't realize they needed to be closer to hit usssssss! Or maybe they shot Rob first before coming after usssss!"
"OK, listen for footsteps"
20 minutes later, almost ready to drift off.... BOOOM!
"They ARE trying to kill usssss!! They just shot Jerry!"
"No, that wasn't any closer, there just having some fun"
"Alright, but I'll just lie here and listen for a while...."
A half hour later, a 3rd gunshot! Still no hits.
"OK, their probably not trying to kill usssssssssssss"
" Yeah, but if their inebriated, what if they forget we're here and shoot this way?"
"Oh, shut up and go to sleep, they've missed evertime so far"
Then, about 2AM, this is what the car with the boomer stereo saw when he turned into the wrong entrance:
Well, except there was a guy in the tent with this deer in the headlights look of sheer panic staring back.
The next night we stayed in a campground filled with nice families from Utah, where WE were the suspect characters! I slept great that night.

Scarlet Knight Bowl Moment:
The Scarlet Knights knocked on the bowl door in 2005 before kicking
it down a year later, picking up a school-first bowl victory in the
inaugural Texas Bowl. Rutgers used big plays from RB Ray Rice and WR
Tim Brown to jump on Kansas State early, pulling away in the second
half for an easy 37-10 win.
Best Wolfpack Bowl Moment: By ACC standards, State has had a
rich and extensive postseason history. They've got a dozen wins and
a handful of exciting finishes to back that up. However, to find its
proudest moment, you only have to venture back a couple of years,
when the 'Pack stuffed Notre Dame 28-6 for a convincing win in the
2002 Gator Bowl.
The Last Time You'll See ...
WR Kenny Britt. You can start saying buh-bye to Britt, who's leaning
toward giving up his final year of eligibility. His stock may never
be higher after closing out the regular season on a monstrous tear.
At 6-4 and 215 pounds, he's got the long stride, huge mitts, and
back-to-back productive seasons to find his way into the first two
rounds of next April's NFL Draft.
Carolina State:
TE Anthony Hill. Although injuries kept Hill from reaching his high
ceiling in each of the last two years, those close to the program
realize his best days may still be ahead of him. At 6-6 and 265
pounds, he's like having a third guard on the line, yet has the
sticky hands to be a quarterback's best friend near the goal line.
Hill's caught three touchdown passes in 2008, but was at his best
two years ago, making 45 grabs for 478 yards.
Breakout Player ...
RB Jourdan Brooks. If the Scarlet Knights learned one thing in the
post-Ray Rice era, it was that no single back was going to replace
the All-American. Brooks took turns with Kordell Young and Joe
Martinek playing the feature role, twice going over 100 yards on the
ground. He could offer the greatest upside of the three
underclassmen, blending a 250-pound frame with a nice kick once he
gets through the hole.
North Carolina State: LB Nate Irving. If not for an injury in
the middle of the season, Irving appeared headed for the All-ACC
first team. When he returned in November, the Pack was a different
team, tightening up on defense and winning the final four games. A
sideline-to-sideline playmaker with game-changing skills, he still
came up with 73 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and a team-best four

It's amazing what happens when you age and your not on PEDs.
My favorite baseball player of all time. I can't wait to see him in Cooperstown.
He finishes his career in 5th place on the all time home run list with 630.
Talk about leaving on your on terms.
Best Player of his Generation. Hands Down.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- Albert Einstein
A 100% class act and a 100% unanimous 1st ballot hall of famer. Junior represents everything that is good about baseball for me. His enthusiasm, energy, outlook, ability and joy in which he played this game IS baseball. I see that backwards cap and I just FEEL summer course through my veins.
Junior....thank you. For everything.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5244661"While I feel I am still able to make a contribution on the field and nobody in the Mariners front office has asked me to retire, I told the Mariners when I met with them prior to the 2009 season and was invited back that I will never allow myself to become a distraction," Griffey said in a statement.
"I feel that without enough occasional starts to be sharper coming off the bench, my continued presence as a player would be an unfair distraction to my teammates and their success as a team is what the ultimate goal should be," he said.
Good luck in retirement, Junior. You were definitely one of the best to ever play.
Baseball's sweetest swing.
Thanks, Junior.

His last AB was on May 31, 2010, a PH fielder's choice to 2B off Twins P Jon Rauch.
His last hit was a game-winning walk off single, on May 20,1010, off Blue Jays closer Kevin Gregg to win the game.

If a writer doesn't vote him in on the first ballot, they should have their voting rights revoked
One of the best ever. JR. will be missed.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
This retirement is clearly overdue but I'm glad he's not embarrassing himself anymore. I also didn't like his innuendo that the reason his numbers were so poor was because he wasn't playing everyday.
The Mariners would love for him to play everyday, they're really struggling to find production from the DH spot but he wasn't getting the job done.
Yes injuries did contribute to his recent decline but so did all the extra baggage he's carrying around. He's at least 25 lbs over weight
A bitter sweet day. Sad that it has to end, but glad that "sleep-gate" can now be put to rest and we don't have to watch him struggle anymore. The second best Reds centerfielder I ever saw next to Eric Davis, and a GREAT Cincinnati Red... which probably means more to me than anything. I don't expect him to go into the Hall as a Red, but I hope he can find some good words in his acceptance speach.
Congrats Jr.!!!!

Medical Marijuana for Kids Could Pit Parents Against Pediatricians
Dr. Sunil Aggarwal, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist in New York City, has studied the use of medical marijuana, including cases where it was prescribed to children. He said there are studies over the past decades that have found that CBD can help children with seizure disorders.
"There's a lot of benefits that CBD is able to show," Aggarwal said, including working as an antipsychotic and providing pain relief without apparent toxic side effects.

Maui and Massachusetts stave off latest attempts to block smart meters
Quick Take: The fear that smart meters will fry our brains continues to proliferate. A small but very vocal minority is consumed by theories that one commentator compared to "mass hysteria."
Fortunately, most (though not all) utilities have been able to overcome this obstacle. Typically, they are forced to conduct their own study to confirm safety (even though there are dozens of conclusive reports in the public domain). And usually, they are required to offer an opt-out option for those who don't want a smart meter no matter what the studies show. - Jesse Berst
A new report from engineering consultancy Cascadia PM in behalf of the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute has confirmed that the electromagnetic radiation from smart meters does not create a health hazard.
The study was conducted as part of the Maui smart grid pilot project. Cascadia tested the meters at close range, and at distances up to 50 feet. The tests revealed that "smart meter communications ambient field strengths are less than what we commonly accepted in public spaces and much less than we expose ourselves to using cell phones," said Maui County Energy Commissioner Doug McLeod.
Meanwhile, in Worcester, MA, the city council has rejected an effort to gain a one-year postponement of National Grid's smart meter pilot program. A council subcommittee had suggested the delay because of concerns over both health and privacy.
In explaining why the city was not going to block the pilot, Mayor Joseph Petty reminded that "if people don't want to participate in this program, they can opt-out." National Grid had previously indicated that it would not slow down the deployment. However, it must still go before the city's Zoning Board of Appeals to respond to petitions objecting to communications towers that relate to the pilot program.
Read Worcester City Council allows grid plan to begin in the New Telegram.

Product Information
- mamaRoo from 4moms
- We recommend this product for ages 0 and up
What It Is
The mamaRoo is a cross between a bouncy seat and an infant swing. It is used to soothe baby to sleep. Strap your baby into the seat using the safety harness, then plug the mamaRoo into an outlet (It doesn't run on batteries.) and set it in motion. mamaRoo has five different motions: car ride, kangaroo, tree swing, rock-a-bye, and ocean wave. There are five speeds for each motion. There are also five nature sounds, or parents can use the included MP3 adapter to hook up their MP3 player and play any music they'd like for their baby.
A hanging mobile gives babies something to look at while they sit in the mamaRoo. The mobile does not spin, but it does include three removable soft balls. One side of the balls is black and white and the other side is in bright colors for visual stimulation.
The mamaRoo has six, removable machine washable fabrics to choose from: blue plush, multi plush, silver plush, green plush, classic black, and classic silver. Each is sold separately. The mamaRoo with any of the plush fabrics retails for $239.99, while the mamaRoo with either the classic black or classic silver retails for $199.99.
Why Is It Useful?
The five motions and soothing nature sounds of the mamaRoo help lull a baby to sleep. Parents will like that the fabrics are machine washable and that the mobile offers visual stimulation for babies before they fall asleep. We found that not all babies will love this product, but some will. It depends on your baby and what kinds of motion he or she likes and what will put your baby to sleep.
Who It's For
The mamaRoo is for ages birth and up, until the baby reaches 25 pounds or can sit up unassisted.
What To Be Aware Of
The classic black and classic silver fabrics are made of canvas and not as comfortable as the plush fabrics.

An association between fatty liver and carotid atherosclerosis has been established; however, it is not clear whether this relationship is a consequence of shared conventional risk factors or whether it is determined by specific circulating factors originating from liver or adipose tissue. To identify the factors possibly linking fatty liver and atherosclerosis, we assessed, in 1,012 subjects free of confounding diseases (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dyslipidemia) and metabolic syndrome, the relationship between the presence of early plaques at carotid bifurcation and fatty liver index (FLI; a validated surrogate marker of fatty liver), as well as the associations between carotid plaque presence and established atherosclerotic risk factors, family history of cardiovascular disease (FH-CVD) or diabetes, insulin sensitivity, serum liver enzymes, adipokines, fatty free acids, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). A total of 55 of 1,012 subjects (5.4%) had small plaque at carotid bifurcation. Subjects with plaque were older and had higher prevalence of FLI ≥60 and FH-CVD, higher blood pressure, plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and hsCRP, as compared to subjects without plaques (P < 0.05). In a logistic regression model, adjusted for sex, liver transaminase, and alcohol consumption, the independent predictors of plaque presence were age (P < 0.0005), FLI ≥60 (P < 0.0005), and current smoking (P < 0.05). When FLI in the model was replaced by variables used in its equation (e.g., body mass index, waist circumference, plasma triglycerides, and GGT), the independent determinants of plaque presence were age (P < 0.001), GGT (P = 0.001), and current smoking (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our cross-sectional study suggests that subjects with FLI ≥60 are at higher risk of atherosclerotic lesions, independently of established risk factors, and that serum GGT may represent a link between fatty liver and the development of early atherosclerosis.

Massachusetts Arms Company Maynard Primed .31 Caliber Percussion Belt Revolver #250. Taken by Major Russell During John Brown's Raid at Harpers Ferry. The gun is accompanied by the original brass, with blued steel sprue cutter, .31 caliber bullet mould, and the eagle on hummock Mass. Arms powder flask, both in perfect untouched condition. Although the serial numbers of the approx. 200 of these guns that were acquired by John Brown in 1857 have never been established, it is known that this particular gun was the property of Russell and acquired by him at Harpers Ferry. 7" barrel, the gun overall in excellent crisp condition. Retains 100% of the cylinder scene, mechanically fine, crisp markings, including the eagle on the primer door, perfect bore. Retains much of the original blue and case finish just fading/mixing with a smooth patina on the barrel. Also retains most of the silver on the straps. The only negative point on the gun is that the screw head is broken on the barrel top strap where it attaches to the frame. Along with the captured Sharps carbine listed elsewhere with Major Russell's personal effects, this revolver and accessories represents the most remarkable set of firearms related to Brown's infamous Harpers Ferry to ever appear on the market.
