MADRID — A year ago, a botched restoration of a fresco of Christ by a Spanish retiree drew guffaws.
Now, 81-year-old artist Cecilia Gimenez is having the last laugh.
Juan Maria Ojeda, an official in Borja, a town of 5,000 in northeastern Spain, said last week the fresco has drawn more than 40,000 visitors and raised more than $66,285 for a local charity.
Gimenez and a local council are to sign a deal sharing profits from merchandise featuring the image. Gimenez also has had her own art exhibited.
Officials say it's not possible to restore the painting's original look.

AAAS Conference 2012
The 2012 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) was held in Vancouver, and some of our students attended. According to its website, the AAAS is a nonprofit professional society dedicated to the advancement of scientific and technological excellence across all disciplines, and to the public's understanding of science and technology. AAAS is among the oldest scientific societies in America, having been founded in Philadelphia in 1848. The AAAS Annual Meeting offers a unique, exciting, interdisciplinary blend of more than 150 symposia, plenary and topical lectures, specialized seminars, poster presentations, and Exhibit Hall.
Professor Rick Routledge was one of the speakers featured at the meeting. The focus of his talk, entitled Fire History in Ponderosa Pine Grasslands: Lessons from the Past, was what the layers of charcoal in lake-bottom sediment can tell us about an area's forest fire history. He also discussed whether First Nations' historical success with using frequent intentionally set small fires to suppress forest fire occurrence generally could inform present day forest fire management.

By Fred W. Baker IIIAmerican Forces Press Service
KADENA AIR FORCE BASE, Japan, Nov. 9, 2007 If there is a decrease in support from community influencers due to the war on terror, Craig Billingsley hasn't noticed.
The vice president of Billingsley Holding Corp. in Lawton, Okla., is part of the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference, which landed here today on its fourth day of a week-long tour of the military forces in U.S. Pacific Command.
He said support for military service is strong among his peers in the small southwestern town that is home to the Army's Fort Sill, the home of field artillery.
"Obviously, what you see in the general media may lead one to believe that some people, influencers, have lost patience with the war. Personally I don't see that. I haven't seen that with my contemporaries," he said.
Billingsley's father served stateside during the Korean War, but other than that, he has no other family in the military.
He moved to Lawton in January 1997 when his family bought a car dealership there. Since then, he has become involved in the military co-op program at Fort Sill and has gotten to know soldiers at all levels, from privates to the commanding general.
He was so impressed with the caliber of soldiers that he met he wanted to learn more about the military, Billingsley said. "I find it exciting. I find it very, very interesting to see and talk to and interact with our military personnel," he said.
That led to his interest in the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference. Billingsley said he wanted to expand his knowledge of the military, especially in the other branches of service.
"I've been fortunate that I've been able to spend time with a lot of Army personnel. What I've enjoyed most of this is (seeing) the other branches of service, being able to meet the sailors and the airmen. I've had very little exposure to those services. It's very eye-opening," he said.
His first surprise on the trip was the expansive military operations in Guam.
"Two weeks ago I probably didn't even think about Guam or that we had such a presence there through the Air Force and the Navy," he said.
Talking to servicemembers here has brought home the sacrifices that they make, no matter where they are deployed, Billingsley said.
"It's one thing when you see the folks at Fort Sill and you know they are deployed and you see what hardships that puts on their families back home. But until you go to where they are serving overseas, you don't really understand what that means until you're here," he said. "That probably brings it home more, to see the sacrifices firsthand that they make. But they do it gladly. It's amazing, their attitude. They ask nothing for it. They do it because they want to serve their country, and they do it proudly, and they do it of their own free will."
A true child of the 1960s, Billingsley said he was not always so impressed by military service. In fact, he said, a decade ago he would not have recommended military service. Only since his time spent with soldiers at Fort Sill, and now his JCOC experience, has his opinion of military service been swayed. Now, Billingsley said he would even recommend it to his own children.
"If one of my children wanted to join any one of the services, I would not only recommend it, it would make me proud," he said. "To think that your son or daughter would be serving with the caliber of people that I personally have been able to experience, I can't imagine anything but good coming out of that."

Macrovision to Acquire Blu-ray Disc Security Technology from Cryptography Research, Inc.
Santa Clara, California — November 19, 2007 — Macrovision Corporation (Nasdaq: MVSN) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain technology assets from Cryptography Research, Inc. (CRI), the San Francisco-based R&D organization focused on solving complex security problems. Upon closing of the transaction, Macrovision will own the SPDC™ (Self-Protecting Digital Content) technology, which formed the basis of BD+, a key element of Blu-ray's content security platform. The purchase includes certain CRI's patents, security software code, and related third party customer and partner agreements. Macrovision will also hire certain CRI employees involved in the technology. Macrovision will hold a conference call to discuss the transaction today at 1:00pm Eastern time; see dial-in information below.
The Blu-ray Disc Association adopted BD+, exclusive to the Blu-ray format, as an added layer of content protection for movies and other premium entertainment released on the Blu-ray Disc standard. The technology will complement Macrovision's existing ACP and Ripguard video security solutions.
"As we continue to build our business and work with our partners to develop and implement new distribution models in the digital marketplace, we seek to expand our capabilities to address emerging standards such as Blu-ray," commented Fred Amoroso, CEO of Macrovision Corporation. "The integration of SPDC into our product portfolio will enable us to continue to provide innovative technology to our customers as they expand their distribution vehicles. Not only is BD+ critical for content security, but it also supports value-added features that enhance the consumer playback experience, such as potentially unlocking bonus content." Mr. Amoroso also noted, "I am especially delighted to add some of the cryptographic talent for which CRI is renowned. We believe they will allow us to accelerate our future security solution development efforts."
"We are a research organization dedicated to solving difficult cryptography problems," commented Paul Kocher, President and Chief Scientist of Cryptography Research Inc. "We developed SPDC to enable consumers to experience content across a broad range of devices while simultaneously providing content owners with the control to manage the security of content in this dynamic environment. Macrovision shares this goal and now that SPDC has entered commercialization, we are confident Macrovision will take it to the next level."
Unlike previous DVD security technologies, a critical advantage of BD+ is its ability to respond dynamically to security threats. Similar to Macrovision's ACP technology, BD+ resides both in devices and on the media. Title-specific security code is embedded in each BD+ protected disc. On the device side, BD+ utilizes an embedded virtual machine and APIs that are integrated directly into the media player, which communicate with the code from the discs. As a result, new titles can carry unique security code to address emerging threats, thus providing content producers the ability to respond to security breaches without impacting legitimate consumers. This field upgradeability helps protect investments in the Blu-ray format over the long-term, a key concern of the motion picture industry.
BD+ has been adopted by more than 20 companies including major CE manufactures and motion studios. Upon the close of the transaction Macrovision will be the primary licensor of BD+ technology to Studios.
The consideration for the SPDC assets is $45 million in cash plus warrants exercisable for Macrovision stock, a portion of which are subject to certain performance milestones. The transition is subject to customary closing conditions and Macrovision expects it to close in the fourth quarter of 2007 and be slightly accretive to 2008 earnings.
Dial-in Information
Macrovision will hold an investor conference call on November 19, 2007, at 1:00 p.m. ET. Investors and analysts interested in participating in the conference are welcome to call 800-366-7417 (or international +1 303-262-2075) and reference the Macrovision call.
The conference call can also be accessed via live Webcast at http://www.macrovision.com/ or http://www.earnings.com/ (or http://www.streetevents.com/ for subscribers) on November 19, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. ET.

My sister's YouTube Symphony audition (harp)
Hi guys, I wonder if you could do me a small favour and go and watch this video, and click 'like' (if you do like it).
My sister is audition to play concert harp with the YouTube Symphony orchestra, and if she gets this she'll get to go and play with amazing musicians at Sydney Opera House, which would be rather nice.
I'm not sure how the audition process works but every little helps, and I hope that you will enjoy watching it as well!
Re: My sister's YouTube Symphony audition (harp)
Done... She's very talented. I watched a couple more of her orchestral pieces; beautiful. :)
Re: My sister's YouTube Symphony audition (harp)
Thanks Chromium, she will appreciate your support!

Session X20: Invited Session: Physics of Color Reflective Displays
2:30 PM–5:30 PM, Thursday, March 1, 2012
Room: 253C
Sponsoring Unit: FIAP
Chair: Gary Gibson, Hewlett Packard - Palo Alto
Abstract ID: BAPS.2012.MAR.X20.4
Abstract: X20.00004 : Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Based Reflex Color Reflective Displays
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Asad Khan
(Kent Displays, Inc.)
Bistable color cholesteric liquid crystal displays are unique LCDs that exhibit high reflectivity, good contrast, extremely low power operation, and are amenable to versatile roll-to-roll manufacturing. The display technology, now branded as Reflex{\texttrademark} has been in commercialized products since 1996. It has been the subject of extensive research and development globally by a variety of parties in both academic and industrial settings. Today, the display technology is in volume production for applications such as dedicated eWriters (Boogie Board{\texttrademark}), full color electronic skins (eSkin), and displays for smart cards. The flexibility comes from polymerization induced phase separation using unique materials unparalleled in any other display technology. The blend of monomers, polymers, cross linkers, and other components along with nematic liquid crystals and chiral dopants is created and processed in such ways so as to enable highly efficient manufactrable displays using ultra thin plastic substrates -- often as thin as 50$\mu $m. Other significant aspects include full color by stacking or spatial separation, night vision capability, ultra high resolution, as well as active matrix capabilities. Of particular note is the stacking approach of Reflex based displays to show full color. This approach for reflective color displays is unique to this technology. Owing to high transparency in wavelength bands outside the selective reflection band, three primarily color layers can be stacked on top of each other and reflect without interfering with other layers. This highly surprising architecture enables the highest reflectivity of any other reflective electronic color display technology. The optics, architecture, electro-topics, and process techniques will be discussed. This presentation will focus on the physics of the core technology and color, it's evolution from rigid glass based displays to flexible displays, development of products from the paradigm shifting concepts to consumer products and related markets. This is a development that spans a wide space of highly technical development and fundamental science to products and commercialization to enable the entry of the technology into consumer markets.

Muzzarella has consistently made the best pizza with seasoned sauce and a very good crust! As long time customers we coming back...I love the white slice the very best ever and rivals Artichoke and Adriatic.
Posted by NYC Girl on 02/15/2013
Used to like this place but ordered from them recently and the guy on the phone couldn't - or make that wouldn't - grasp the concept of half extra cheese half pepperoni. You're kidding me. Against better judgement, gave them a second chance tonight at the urging of my nine year old (who clearly is immune to the finesse of customer service) and got the same curt service. All I can say, Muzzarella, is I Love my kid but Mommy's putting her foot down going forward and we are ordering from places who know how to be courteous.
Posted by thisplaceisterrible on 01/27/2012
I went there tonight and ordered a calzone, by far the worst calzone I have ever had. The dough was not fully cooked and the pepperoni and cheese inside were fairly cold. I will never go back to this place again and do not recommend it.
Posted by anonymous on 05/06/2011
Just called to place an order for 3 pies which was about $60. The guy that answered the phone was incredibly rude and didn't want to place my order so early since I was calling 3 hours early for a 7p pickup. So he told me to go somewhere else. What? So wierd.
Posted by Are You Kidding Me? on 06/28/2010
Delivery was a nightmare. They refused to make a fresh pie, and that is enough to never ever go near this place again. This stuff tastes great if you stumble in for a drunk slice, but their service and ever changing "policies" regarding delivery orders is absurd.
Posted by EastVillage OldTimer on 08/04/2009
Ordered a meatball sandwich for delivery with garlic bread and baked ziti marinara. Slooooow delivery, but food was blistering hot when it finally got here. Small ziti plate enough for two big meals, not enough sauce and too much cheese, garlic bread okay. But the meatball sandwich was not good. Not meatballs, but more like chunks of some kind of dense sausage or mystery meat. A HUGE Italian hero roll, very little sauce and the sauce was tasteless anyway. I'd order pasta from here again, if I had 45 minutes to wait, but never meatballs.
Posted by East Village Local on 11/05/2008
Let it be known that this is my first ever online review. I have eaten at many NYC establishments which left me unimpressed though I was not compelled to express my disapproval until now. The slice was so wet and soggy! I took a bite and told the guy behind the counter that it was inedible and that I would like a fresh one. He tried to tell me that because I had taken a bite that I would have to pay for the new one. needless to say I walked out after an exchange of unpleasantries. I wonder if they never got the memo about customer satisfaction and the holy rule of giving what the buyer wants. After all....they are charging $2.25 for a wet and soggy slice.

March 28, 2013 § 5 Comments
As many of my longtime readers know, I occasionally fall victim to the manufactured educational expectations of contemporary America and begin to have doubts about our ability to educate the boys at home.
Yesterday, watching them make bows while tending our little white trash backyard sugarin' rig as the chickens pecked at whatever struck their bird-brained fancy, was not one of those occasions.
Increasingly, I am coming to understand that any doubt in our ability to educate Fin and Rye is nothing more than a loss of trust. Not only in myself, but also in the boys.
I can deal with not trusting myself. But not trusting my kids? That, my friends, is inexcusable.

Who would we be if we didn't occasionally second guess ourselves and assess course?
Your ideas are beneficial and your writing is terrific. Thank you.

The affected German voter: Televized debates, follow-up communication and candidate evaluations
In: Communications - European Journal of Communication Research, Jg. 28 (2003) ; Nr. 4, S. 383-404
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Politikwissenschaft
Signatur der Zeitschrift: D00/01 Z 266
In the run-up to the last German federal election, "American style" televised debates were held for the very first time. Using a three-wave panel comprising citizens of Augsburg and Bamberg – two medium-sized cities in Bavaria – that was conducted to analyse the impact of the 2002 German debates, the present article deals with the following questions: First, how were the two contenders evaluated by viewers of the debates? Who "won" the debates? Secondly, do these perceptions and evaluations influence viewers' attitudes towards Schröder and Stoiber? And if so, what is the magnitude of this effect? Thirdly, do these effects last – and for how long? How do the mass media as well as interpersonal communication influence the durability of debate effects? Our results show that Schröder won both debates. Based on a path model, we show that the debates considerably affected the images of both candidates. These effects are not very stable and thus quickly disappear. However, mass media as well as interpersonal communication have the potential to stabilize debate effects, depending on the extent and the (perceived) content of the follow-up communication.

'Something for everyone' at boomer expo
A week from today, people of all ages — particularly older adults — are invited to take advantage of free health screenings and financial seminars, peruse vendor booths, socialize and meet new friends at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center in Sanford.
The 11th annual Boomer, Senior and Caregiver Expo starts at 9:45 a.m. with a small ceremony followed by seminars on topics such as financial management, living wills and computer literacy. Afterward, people can go get health and dental screenings while also doing a little chatting, shopping and learning. The expo wraps up at 2:30 p.m. with prize drawings.
"Everything's free — screenings, admission, parking, everything," said Melanie Rodgers, an administrative and marketing specialist with the Enrichment Center of Lee County, which is putting on the event.
Judi Womack, the expo coordinator, said she believes the event is a great form of outreach for people in the area, and that she's happy to have seen it become one of the largest events in Lee County.
"I think that the sponsors or vendors enjoy it just as much as the participants," Womack said. "And the participants enjoy it because there's something there for everyone."
The expo is one of the biggest single-day events in Lee County; organizers estimated a crowd of nearly 3,000 last year, and both Womack and Rodgers said they're expecting a crowd as big, or hopefully bigger, next Wednesday, Aug. 28.
Approximately 100 vendors will be there as well, Rodgers said — most of them regulars at the show. But there will be some new ones, including the Outreach Dental Semi Program, which she said is exactly what it sounds like.
"It's a huge truck," Rodgers said. "It's a semi. It's a dental service that'll be out front, and we're excited to have them because they'll be having screenings for anyone who wants one."
In addition to the free dental checkups and seminars, medical professionals will be offering a variety of free health screenings as well. Participants will also have access to healthy recipes, and food for sampling, as well as a hodge-podge of beauty and spa services.
"The educational seminars are great because you've got professionals in their fields doing the presenting," Womack said. "And then you've got the health professionals doing the screenings, so if people are raising flags, they can get them in touch with a physician."
More details about the expo are at leecountync.gov/Departments/SeniorServices.aspx, and a PDF of the full schedule can be downloaded at bit.ly/13P32XJ.

I'm so excited, I just found out there's a knitting group forming nearby!! I hope I'm not the only man there!
I'm currently working on Mathew Gnagy's Carlito cardigan. It's going to be a challenge. I don't like simple, easy, quick to do projects. The more difficult the better. I will post some pics when I'm further along!
Okay, thinking about checking out knitting socks, since the guys here say it's so easy. However, I'm looking for opinions and advice as to yarns, and dpns, or circs and magic loop.
I live in Waterloo New York, and I have about twelve inches of snow give to me by winter storm Nemo. (I like him in the movie, ain't too fond of him now!) I have to wait for someone to come and shovel me out, for I have spinal issues, and I'm a heart patient. There will be no shoveling for me.
I don't usually knit for babies, but I had some yarn leftover and wanted to use it up. It was sold almost immediately after I finished it.
I actually whooped with joy when I finished this afghan. As you can see, it's quite large as that's a double bed it's on. (And yes, I made the quilt underneath as well).
I'm beginning to think I don't belong on this site with all the designers, spinners, and guy who have access to great yarns. I work with yarn from Wal-Mart and Jo-Annes. Free patterns from the internet are my muse. I have no one to knit for, and no one to knit with. you all are so lucky.

However, she died of a fatal illness when the boys were still children. Ted's previous fiancé, also named Doris, had been murdered in the 1940's. Young Jack was unable to see his mother before she died in the hospital, and this left a deep emotional scars that did not begin to heal until years later.When David died, Jack became Starman (the seventh of this line), and David's spirit (with some help from Kent Nelson) arranged for Jack to meet his mother one final time on the spiritual plane.

Carrea, Maria Bonaria (2007) Estrazioni di sostanze naturali da piante della flora sarda: struttura e applicazioni. Chemorecezione gustativa: sintesi e relazioni attività-struttura di molecole attive sul sapore. [Doctoral Thesis]
The presence of a lactonic system and/or a furanic element is the most important structural element in the bitter isoprenoid group (a class of compounds structurally heterogeneous). These substances are able to put in action more than one bitter receptors and to be used in programs of derivatives for chiral syntons and libraries of bioactive compounds. The research has been focused on compounds that have these structural characteristics using the availability of receptioral models for their sensory characterization. Within the set of these compounds there is the class of sesquiterpenic lactones, above all the grosseimin (from the guaianolid family) extracted from the artichoke and the arborescin extracted from the arthemisia. These lactones are able to put on work more than one bitter receptors as the arborescin, able to put on work five bitter receptors. The research has managed for the bitter isoprenoids extracted from the two plans as follow: isolation of sesquiterpenic lactones; systematic structural modification of lactones extracted by means of organic synthesis methodology (a library of derivatives for the study of structure-activity relation was found); research of potential inhibitories of bitter property in natural and analogous compounds.

Farenthold's tribulations over trail funding
CORPUS CHRISTI - U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold's vote against federal funding for hike and bike pathways puts him in an interesting, difficult position, having said no to a vocal constituency. There seems to be some misunderstanding as to whether he broke a promise. But voting yes would have contradicted both the Corpus Christi Republican's philosophy on federal spending and the promises he made to voters.
Farenthold's vote made a difference. The margin by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee was 29-27, not strictly along party lines, against an amendment to spend $5 billion for hiking and biking lanes and trails.
Leslie Luciano, communications director for Bike Texas, claims that Farenthold broke a promise to preserve dedicated pedestrian, cycling and multi-modal funding. Farenthold says he never would make such a promise. Corpus Christi bicycle shop owner Tom Neagli says the only promise he heard from Farenthold was to look into the matter, which to Neagli clearly wasn't a promise of support. From what we know of Farenthold, we can't imagine him making the promise alleged by Luciano. We also know how badly Neagli wanted to hear what he says Farenthold didn't tell him.
Farenthold could argue with conviction that the $5 billion proposal was an example of how Washington normally works and of what he was sent there to change. The representative of Trek Bicycle Corp.'s district made the proposal and there's no question that spending $5 billion in federal tax dollars on hike and bike trails benefits Trek. Trek's home representative could argue that Trek's vested interest isn't the point, just like auto manufacturers' vested interest isn't the point of highway spending.
Whatever. Farenthold didn't dispute the merits of hike and bike trails. He disputed that they should be a federal funding priority. "I believe these decisions should be made by state and local governments," he said in a prepared statement, "not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C."
That statement exposes both the credit and the blame Farenthold deserves for his consistency. Ample argument can be made for leaving hike and bike trails to state and local governments, as truly committed bicycle-friendly communities have managed to do for themselves without federal dollars. But raising the specter of "bureaucrats," when the decision really belongs to Congress, is a misstep that exposes how rote his message has become.
An argument can be made that hike and bike trails, as conduits for alternative transportation, are indeed the kind of federal responsibility that Farenthold says they aren't. But that argument will lose to the bottom-line position that the government just can't afford it.
Also, a lack of hike and bike trails doesn't prevent bicycling, which is allowed on most roadways other than interstates (pedaling on the feeders is legal). Bicycle advocacy efforts might be better directed at using traffic enforcement and other low- to no-cost means of making the already existing roadways more bicycle-friendly.

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross women's basketball coaching staff has announced the signing of five players who will join the Holy Cross program in the fall of 2014. Tricia Byrne (Dunmore, Pa.), Katie Doherty (Holbrook, N.Y.), Shannon Druck (New Freedom, Pa.), Amy Hasenauer (Rochester, N.Y.) and Infiniti Thomas-Waheed (Newton, Mass.) will all don the purple and white for the Crusaders next winter.
"This is a great group of student-athletes that will help us fill the voids of the class of 2014," associate head coach Ann McInerney said. "The new players will compete for playing time right away and will be key contributors next season. They are all quality student-athletes who come from great families and great basketball programs and we are excited that they will be joining us next season!"
Byrne is a 5-5 guard from Scranton Prep High School in Scranton, Pa. Named Times-Tribune Girls Player of the Year in 2013, Byrne was tabbed third team All-State as a junior. She led her team to a Lackawanna League Division I championship and also to a deep run in the state tournament where she averaged 19.8 points per game. Byrne tallied her 1,000th career point during the state tournament. She plays AAU basketball for the Lehigh Valley Fever.
Doherty is a 5-9 guard from Sachem East High School in Farmingville, N.Y. She averaged 16.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game as a junior and helped lead her team to the state semifinal. Doherty was named first team All-State last season and was also tabbed All-League and All-County. She plays AAU basketball for the Long Island Lightning.
Druck is a 5-8 guard from Susquehannock High School in Glen Rock, Pa. As a junior last season, Druck averaged 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game and helped lead her team to an 18-9 overall record in 2013. She plays AAU basketball for the Keystone Force.
Hasenauer is a 6-2 forward from Hilton Central High School in Hilton, N.Y. She averaged 12.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game in 2013. Hasenauer was named to the Monroe County League All-County team in 2013 and 2012, and helped guide her team to a league championship as a sophomore. Her AAU team, the Rochester Revolution, was 19-2 in national showcase tournaments in 2012.
Thomas-Waheed is a 5-10 guard from Newton North High School in Newton, Mass. She averaged 17.6 points and 17.6 rebounds per game last season to earn All-Bay State honors and a spot on ESPN Boston's All-State team. Thomas-Waheed helped lead her team to a conference title a season ago and the No. 2 seed in the MIAA Division I tournament. She plays AAU basketball for NH Rivals.
Holy Cross returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 26, when it will host UMass at 7:00 p.m.

We're back from France after an extraordinary, wonderful 7 days at Les Souers Anglaises, the country house in Bordeaux run by the wonderful Mike and Katie Armitage.
We spent our time there working on a new play with 14 young people, cooking together, playing games in the evening, building playwriting skills, practicing early morning yoga and swimming in the beautiful swimming pool. The whole company, led by six staff members, had a blissful, peaceful time - not a cross word exchanged all week.

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Aly Raisman Aims to Show Her "Sassy" Side
When the words "Olympian" show up in a Dancing With the Stars cast announcement, we automatically put that person high on the favorites list. When that Olympian is also a teenage gymnast paired with Mark Ballas — we're right back on Season 8 with winner Shawn Johnson. So we're wondering if we should just start polishing the Season 16 Mirror Ball trophy for Aly Raisman.
But it sounds like Aly, 18, does not view herself as a "ringer." She told the Boston Globe, "I honestly have no idea how to characterize my dance skills. All I know is that I am going to need a lot of help, because it is actually completely different than gymnastics. I have never tried any of the dances that I will do on the show, so it will definitely be a challenge, but that is why I am so excited. I love working hard and trying new things. When I am with my friends I love to dance and be crazy, but I don't think about technique. It's going to be so much fun!"
Aly said she met Mark this past Sunday and they just "clicked." Mark told On the Red Carpet that Aly is bright, bubbly and sassy. "That's my goal for this season," Aly told OTRC, "to be really really sassy. Because at the Olympics I was so serious and intense and didn't really show a lot of emotion, besides when I cried after stuff. ... I just want to really have fun and just kind of be crazy and energetic."
Mark knows she's disciplined and can work hard, like all the athletes, so that will definitely help, especially with his high-energy routines. Do you think Aly & Mark could make it to the finals and win?

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, regrets having voted for a controversial birth control amendment offered by Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., that would have let employers opt out of providing anything they objected to in health insurance for workers, the Anchorage Daily News reports.
"I have never had a vote I've taken where I have felt that I let down more people that believed in me," the newspaper quotes Murkowski as saying.
Murkowski told the paper she meant to vote for religious freedom, but to female voters back home it looked like a vote against contraception. The language of the amendment was "overbroad," she said, adding she would not vote the same way a second time.
Murkowski said contraception should be covered and affordable, but that churches and religiously affiliated organizations should get an opt-out—something the Obama administration offers.
Under the Health and Human Services Department rule, churches and religious employers that hire primarily people of their same faith do not have to provide coverage for birth control care if they object, and insurers must pay for such coverage for affiliated organizations such as church-owned schools and hospitals.
Murkowski also conditionally supports abortion rights. "I have taken the position that there are instances where abortion should be made available. They should be made safe and legal," the newspaper quoted her as saying.

Shadow Woman: The Extraordinary Career of Pauline BentonA talk by Grant Hayter-Menzies, AuthorIn 1920s Beijing, Kansas-born Pauline Benton (1898-1974) discovered shadow theatre piyingxi), a performance art where translucent painted puppets are manipulated by highly trained masters to cast colored shadows against an illuminated screen. Mastering the male-dominated art form in China, Benton believed she could save this thousand-year-old forerunner of motion pictures by taking it to America. Enchanting audiences eager for the exotic during the Great Depression, Pauline's touring company was lauded by theatre and art critics alike and even played the White House. Grant Hayter-Menzies traces Benton's performance history and her efforts to preserve shadow theatre as a global cultural treasure by drawing on her unpublished writings, the recollections of her colleagues, the testimonies of shadow masters who survived China's Cultural Revolution, as well as young innovators who have carried on Benton's pioneering work.
Wednesday — October 23, 2013 — 5:00 PMUSF Main Campus, Cowell Hall Room 106Power and Authority on Display: Court Paintings of Late Joseon KoreaA talk by Chin-Sung Chang, Professor, Seoul National UniversityThe late Joseon period witnessed the large production of court paintings. Within the palace, many paintings were utilized primarily to meet the symbolic and ritual needs of the king and his family in official and private life. Painters at the Bureau of Painting created numerous paintings documenting all court rituals and ceremonies and important government projects. Confucian ceremonies, palace banquets, royal processions, and the king's and queen's birthday celebrations are vividly portrayed in court paintings that provide magnificent pictorial records of pomp and pageantry. The folding screens on monumental scale and in exquisite detail show the lavish grandeur of court life. Court painters also produced various screens such as the "Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks". This talk will explore how court paintings were made and used and how they served to glorify the Joseon king's rulership.

In Eating Bitterness: Stories from the Front Lines of China's Great Urban Migration, award-winning journalist Michelle Dammon Loyalka follows the trials and triumphs of eight such migrants. At the heart of the book lies each person's ability to "eat bitterness"—a term that roughly means to endure hardships, overcome difficulties, and forge ahead. The stories told in Eating Bitterness not only offer an inside look at the pain, self-sacrifice, and tenacity underlying China's dramatic national transformation, but also demonstrate how the issues migrants face constitute one of China's most pressing domestic challenges.

Japan's "Professional" Housewives: Postwar Ideal and Present StrainsA talk by Steven Vogel, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science and Chair, Center for Japanese Studies, University of California, BerkeleyThe role of the "professional" housewife (sengyou shufu) constrained Japanese women, and yet it empowered them as well. The professional housewife ideal locked women into specified roles regardless of their preferences or abilities. But Japan's postwar professional housewives were also the true masters of their home and family; they garnered confidence and security from having a clear role and mission; and they were exceptional mothers to generations of Japanese. Professor Vogel will review the life stories of three ordinary yet extraordinary housewives, and discuss changes in Japanese family life and mental health fro the 1950s through the present.

Film as Soft Power and Hard Currency: The Sino-Hollywood CourtshipA talk by Ying Zhu, Chair, Department of Media Culture, College of Staten Island-CUNYThe story of Sino-Hollywood courtship is one of competing cultural and capital values and development models, as well as nationalism and exceptionalism, both American and Chinese. The ups and downs of this courtship is an intrigue of blockbuster scale—a scandal-ridden roller-coaster ride that promises endless entertainment, much like Hollywood itself. Ying Zhu will discuss the complex commercial logic and cultural dynamics that make the Sino-Hollywood courtship a case study of political, cultural, and economic clash and co-optation on a global scale.

Professor Risley and the Imperial Japanese Troupe: How an American Acrobat Introduced Circus to Japan—and Japan to the WestA talk by Frederick L. Schodt, AuthorOn New Year's Eve, 1866, Professor Risley arrived in San Francisco from Yokohama, Japan. He was accompanied by the Imperial Japanese Troupe of acrobats and performers, who under his direction would amaze not only the residents of San Francisco, but also huge audiences on the East Coast and in Europe. Risley was a famous acrobat in his own right, and the story of how he introduced circus to Japan, and how he triggered a craze in Japanese performers in the West, is part of a fasci¬nating lost-but-recently-uncovered history. In a presentation heavily illustrated with photographs and drawings, award-winning author Frederik L. Schodt will reveal the story of Risley and his troupe, who gave the world one of its first glimpses of Japanese popular culture.Frederik L. Schodt is a translator, interpreter, and award-winning author of numerous books. He specializes in currents of thought flowing between Japan and the United States, and especially popular culture and history. In 2009 the emperor of Japan awarded him the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette, for his work.

Thursday - April 18, 2013 - 5:15 PM USF Main Campus, McLaren Center Room 252 Enter from Golden Gate, Fulton or ParkerDomestic Diplomacy: the Empress Dowager Cixi, Sarah Pike Conger, and the Chinese Butler Who Brought Them TogetherA talk by Grant Hayter-Menzies, Author, The Empress and Mrs Conger: The Uncommon Friendship of Two Women and Two WorldsMiddle-aged Iowan Sarah Conger came to China in 1898 as the wife of the American ambassador, knowing nothing of China's people or its culture, its temples or its halls of power. Yet in 1902, a survivor of the Boxer Uprising in Beijing, she joined hands in friendship with the former concubine and legendary tyrant Empress Dowager Cixi, blamed for the Uprising and still considered, as then, one of China's worst rulers.
When Sarah left for America three years later, she did so as one of China's and Cixi's most sympathetic defenders, bringing to its women and to the Empress Dowager forbidden foreign aspirations toward education, autonomy and international sisterhood. Together, Sarah and Cixi formed a bridge between cultures in the face of criticism, warfare, and the fractious politics of the men who tried to control them. Yet they may never have reached out to one another at all but for a humble man named Wang, the sensitive and loyal Chinese butler at the American Legation, and a teenaged Manchu girl named Der Ling, Paris-educated translator at the court of the Empress Dowager.In his keynote address, "Domestic Diplomacy" given as part of the "Imperial Court in China, Japan, and Korea" symposium on April 18 and 19, Grant Hayter-Menzies, biographer of Sarah Conger and Princess Der Ling, will speak not just about the controversial relationship of the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Conger but about how a butler and a lady-in-waiting were uniquely qualified to prepare each woman for a friendship that would shock both Chinese and Americans of the day but which bears in our era the hallmark of modern diplomacy.

Very poor management, very French concentric view of the world. Zero opportunity for advancement, no project management. They've increased profits for the owner by cutting back people way past "the bone". Internal systems are stuck in the 1970's, company culture is 1970's.

The Government has published details about how the socio-economic duty in the Single Equality Act will transform the way public bodies work to narrow the gaps between rich and poor and make society fairer.
The Act will impose a new legal duty on public bodies, including central government and local authorities, to consider the impact their strategic decisions will have on narrowing socio-economic inequalities.
With the average life expectancy in the poorest areas of the country up to 13 years shorter than in the most affluent areas, the duty will require public bodies to consider how they can reduce the barriers that hold people back, block aspirations and prevent people fulfilling their potential.
A Government policy statement on how the duty will operate provides some examples of best practice:
In education: Knowing that children who eat well perform better at school, but that children from poorer backgrounds are less likely to do this, Newham council is running a pilot scheme to provide free school meals to all primary school children. They take this approach because a significant number of children in Newham are from deprived backgrounds and providing free meals for all children helps them to increase take up by tackling the stigma that can go hand in hand with free school meals. All families save money and all children get a nutritious meal once a day, benefiting both their health and their behaviour.
In provision of healthcare: After studying data which shows that life expectancy is lower in the 70 most deprived local authorities around the country, the Department of Health has taken action. They are providing tailored, intensive support to the primary care trusts in those areas, allocating them additional funding and closely tracking progress.
Deputy Prime Minister Harriet Harman said:
"A person's socio-economic background is still a key factor in determining their life chances - how they get on at school, the chances of continuing with their education, their employment prospects and their health.
"This new legal duty will fall on every strategic body that affects these life chances and will be a catalyst for change so that more people have a better chance to enjoy a higher standard of living.
"Improving opportunities for everyone will be at the core of all key public services, and is a crucial part of the Equality Act."

Debate Could Sway Undecided Voters
A sunny day in downtown Green Bay feels gloomy for John Buzzell.
That's because down the street people line up to cast an absentee ballot. While he remains undecided.
"It'd be nice to be a part of history, say you voted in this election. But at the same time, I don't want to do it, not knowing who I'm voting for," said Buzzell.
But he hopes watching the candidates face off Friday night will change that.
"People could really tune in and see something in a candidate that a commercial or ad just doesn't show you," political analyst James Morrison said.
He believes the debate could push the small percent of undecided voters to the polls.
"It may affect turnout on election day to some extent. If someone really hears a hot button issue they haven't heard before and say you know I never realized that," Morrison said.
But for voter Dave Koshalek, the debate won't sway his vote.
"I've been pretty well committed on the way I'm going to vote," Koshalek said.
So are many others. The G.A.B. tells us more than 113,000 people have requested or voted absentee.
A vote Buzzell wants to make after the debate.
"I hope there's good questions to clear up everything. Hopefully, they don't fight up there. I want to learn some things about the candidates," Buzzell said.
