Let us be clear: We don't believe that Kim Kardashian is any sort of [insert negative term here] for having slept with nine people in her life by age 33.
You can judge her by two failed marriages, or the fact that she had a role in making the Kim Kardashian sex tape, but by and large, the star is a monogamist.
Nine partners in over a decade and a half? Downright normal for many people.
She's been romantically linked to others (Gabriel Aubry, Nick Lachey), but we haven't included them in this Relationship Rewind chronicling Kim's turbulent love life.
From before she was famous, to the man who made her famous when He Hit It First (more like fourth) to the present, can you recall all of her significant others?
Here's a look at the nine stars we know have gotten it in with Kim:

always enjoy the opportunity, here at Site of the Week, to present
a site that ties in with the week's events, especially when there's
a big signal involved. So when we heard that Cincinnati's WSAI
(1530) was making the flip from standards to oldies on Friday
afternoon, the week's choice became obvious.
If you live anywhere in the east or midwest, you've certainly
heard this big 50 kilowatt signal near the top end of the dial.
If you've been DXing for more than a few years, you probably
still think of it by its original calls: WCKY.
Those calls come from "Covington, KentuckY," the
community across the river from Cincinnati that's long been home
to this big signal. WCKY signed on back in 1929, and by the thirties
had achieved high power (10 kilowatts, then) and a good dial
position (1490, just below the very top end of the dial) by making
the case that Kentucky needed more high-power allocations - never
mind that the station's market, even then, was across the Ohio
The NARBA agreement in 1941 moved WCKY up the dial to 1530,
where it shared the clear channel with just one other major station,
KFBK in Sacramento. To this day, 1530 doesn't flip to its night
pattern until Sacramento sunset.
In the fifties and sixties, WCKY was a major full-service
station in Cincinnati - and as a result of that big signal, for
much of the midwest as well - providing hefty competion for the
other big signal in town, WLW on 700. Later at night, when that
huge 1530 signal saturated the ether for a thousand miles, WCKY
leased out its time to preachers and baby-chick salesmen, a practice
that continues right up to the present day on 1530, in fact.
The 50 kW signal was modified somewhat in the late seventies,
when a fourth tower was added to the array, redirecting more
of the night signal to the north and east and a little less to
the south. By day (and for a few hours after sunset), WSAI is
non-directional, using the big Blaw-Knox square tower just east
of the transmitter building; at night; that's actually the only
original part of the array, since the other two original towers
were replaced during the night pattern change. (It's almost impossible
to see in the photo, but the Blaw-Knox tower now sports a second
set of guys near the top, added after a tornado damaged the tower
in 1986.)
In 1994,
the growing Jacor group (which already owned WLW and another
heritage Cincinnati station, the former WKRC on 550, then operating
as a sister to WLW and using the calls WLWA) bought the intellectual
property of WCKY, which was by then doing talk, and moved those
historic calls down the dial to 550.
1530 became WSAI, another legendary Cincinnati callsign. The
original WSAI was itself a sister station to WLW in the years
before World War II, serving the local Cincinnati audience while
WLW programmed to the entire Midwest. By the nineties, though,
the WSAI calls had disappeared from their longtime home at AM
1360 and FM 94.1, where the station was once the city's big top-40
voice, and were available for reuse at the top of the dial. In
AM stereo, no less, the new WSAI became the adult standards voice
of Cincinnati, with veteran broadcasters Bob Braun and later
Nick Clooney (George's dad and Rosemary's brother) as morning
host. The WCKY calls eventually left 550 when Jacor's successor,
Clear Channel, restored the old WKRC calls there; they now reside
- very quietly - on 1360, which is known the rest of the hour
as sports station "Homer 1360."
The old calls stayed in place on the transmitter building,
though, on a bluff above the Ohio River west of Covington, not
far from the airport. (You can read much more about this site
at Jim Hawkins' excellent
transmitter pages, including some views inside the building.)
And as of today, WSAI now cranks out many of the same tunes from
this building that the old WSAI on 1360 once did.

BRYAN, Texas -- Glen West picked up his 150th victory as head coach of the Cubs as Brenham ran away from Rudder 48-24.
The Cubs (6-1, 5-0) led 35-3 at the half and held on for the win.
Brenham scored first on a short Jordan Graves touchdown run, then got a defensive touchdown when Taylor Shepard forced a Brady Batten fumble that Erik Yeager recovered in the end zone for a 14-0 first quarter lead.
A Rudder (0-8, 0-6) field goal cut the Cub lead to 14-3, but Brenham scored three more touchdowns on a Walter Thomas run, a Earnest Patterson run, and a 16-yard Caleb Hill to James Homan touchdown pass before the half to build the big lead.
Brenham returns home next Friday to host Magnolia.
Rudder will hit the road to Willis.

The National Climate Center, part of the Bureau of Meteorology, is issuing its latest ENSO, or El Niño-Southern Oscillation, report on Wednesday, June 3, 2009.
The NCC, headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, is the service division of the Bureau of Meteorology. It is responsible for providing climate data services and climate monitoring services, along with the archiving of Australia's climate records.
The Australian website eFarming.com states in its article "An increased risk of El Niño in 2009" that patterns in the Pacific Ocean are forming that, if continued further into the year, could establish an El Nino by mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Dr. David Jones, Head of Climate Analysis at the Bureau's National Climate Centre, pointed out that: "This view is supported by several computer forecasts of El Niño, which have firmed in their predictions of an event in 2009." [eFarming]
The eFarming article continues to say, "The surface of the equatorial Pacific currently stands at around 0.5°C warmer than normal, while the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) dropped from +9 in April to −5 in May. During a typical El Niño event, central equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures are at least 0.8°C warmer than normal for around four to six months during which time the SOI persists at values –7 or lower. The Pacific easterly Trade Winds were also suppressed in May."
You can look for updates for this potential El Nino condition at the Bureau's website: www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso.

Mackay and Gianfranco Zola have been interviewed for the job, while Celtic chief Neil Lennon and Neil Adams - who finished last season as interim boss following the sacking of Chris Hughton - were also among the candidates.
Chief executive David McNally has revealed the club are hopeful that they will soon confirm the identity of their new manager.
"It will probably take a little longer but not a lot," said McNally.
"We are pleased with the way the search is being managed, it will perhaps take a few days longer than indicated but that is days and I'm sure Norwich City fans are more concerned that we do the right thing rather than hit a deadline.
"We've said from the moment we were relegated that we feel frustrated, hugely disappointed and embarrassed that we'd been relegated to the Championship."
Club owner Delia Smith admits that they got 'it wrong' when they sacked Hughton and replaced him with Adams.
"Yeah, we got it wrong. It might have happened that if we got a caretaker manager in that we might have stayed up," she told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"But I would challenge anybody to sit round that table and do what we do and get it right.
"We didn't feel at that time there was anybody out there so we had a decision to make, do we bring in a kind of caretaker, so there were one or two names we were looking at, or go with a manager who is winning home games?"
McNally also revealed the club's intention to appoint a technical director.

Grant Title: Assessing Changes in Attitudes, Awareness, and Behavior among Indonesian Youth: a Multi-
Method Communication and Social Media Approach to Help Counter Human Trafficking
Grant Period: October 2013 – September 2014
Principal Investigator: Patricia Riley, Communication and Organizational Change, USC
Co-Princiapl Investigators: Mark Latonero, Communication and Technology, USC
Sheila Murphy, Communication and Social Change, USC
The USC research team is designing a survey to measure the effectiveness of a human trafficking documentary, developed by MTV EXIT (an organization funded by USAID), in changing knowledge and behaviors related to human trafficking, both immediately after the treatment and longer term. The team will focus on West Java, Indonesia, an area of Indonesia in which MTV EXIT is working and which has high levels of trafficking. USC also will conduct a social media analysis of C-TIP activity and dialogue in Indonesia, and cross reference this with the survey data in order to determine what combinations of factors lead to a person being well- (or poorly) informed about human trafficking and how those factors can be influenced.

Google has until the beginning of next month to indicate to the European Union's top antitrust official that it is willing to negotiate remedies to allegations of anti-competitive business practices, or else face a formal complaint and possible fines.
If negotiations don't yield an acceptable remedy, "formal proceedings will continue through the adoption of a Statement of Objections," said E.U. Competition Commissioner Joaquín Almunia, in a speech Friday at a legal conference in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
"I want to give the company the opportunity to offer remedy proposals that would avoid lengthy proceedings," Almunia said. "By early July, I expect to receive from Google concrete signs of their willingness to explore this route."
Almunia outlined the E.U. case against Google in a May 21 letter to company Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. In that letter, Almunia alleged that Google was using its dominance in Internet search to favor its own content and services, among other violations.
The E.U. is looking to Google to supply its own remedies. Almunia did not suggest any in his May letter to Schmidt or in his speech. He did suggest he wanted a quick solution, saying, "it is always better to restore competition swiftly in fast-moving markets, provided of course that the companies concerned are ready to seriously address and solve the problems at stake."
"We continue to work cooperatively with the European Commission," said a Google spokesperson in an e-mailed statement.
Google is also the subject of an antitrust inquiry by the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S., and similar probes in South Korea and India.

Cavalcante will have a chance to shine at UFC Fight Night 32 similarly to his efforts in Strikeforce where he held gold. Of course, "Feijao" lost the belt when he battled Henderson who caught him midway through their match-up and laid claim to the gold. However, Henderson never actually defended the belt, moving on to the UFC after a follow-up fight at heavyweight.
UFC light heavyweight Dan Henderson is as iconic as competitors come in Mixed Martial Arts. From his facial features to fighting style, "Hendo" is instantly recognizable and holds a place among the all-time greats as a man who has found consistent success for more than 15 years including titles in multiple organizations. In fact, while these countdowns tend to feature a Top 5 format, the 43-year old Henderson's run in the ring has been so impressive he's merited an extra five slots.

Home Healthcare Nursing
VNA Community Healthcare nurses bring calm and focus to the turmoil that surrounds a family healthcare challenge. When you call us, a professional person will listen to you and answer your questions, even if you aren't sure what you need. The healthcare maze in Connecticut can be frustrating. We will help you make sense of your health and treatment plan in the comfort and security of your home.
We begin with our initial assessment of you in your home. Your family caregiver is welcome to be present. With you and your family we build a "plan of care" to meet your personal health needs. You find out what to expect given your condition and how the visiting nurse and other home services will assist you.
Your doctor reviews and approves your plan of care. As visiting nurses, we are the link between you and your doctor. While you are receiving care from us we will update your doctor on your condition and describe how well your treatment plan is working.
Your plan may include other services such as physical, occupational and speech therapy and social work. Your nurse may also order a home health aide to help you with activities such as bathing, dressing, walking, cooking, and eating. Aides can also help with housekeeping.
You are a key partner in the plan of care. Achieving good results means working hand in hand with us – taking medications, sticking to your diet, monitoring your weight or blood sugar, or following the program from your physical therapist.
You and your caregiver can expect to learn much more about your medical condition from your visiting nurse. Together you will be prepared to take over your own care. We commit to helping you achieve the independence you need to stay at home longer. One of our greatest joys is making the road to recovery more comfortable, helping you return to healthy living as soon as possible.
A Visiting Nurse Makes Sense When:
- you come home from the hospital or short term rehabilitation
- you have had a new baby
- your doctor has diagnosed a new medical condition
- you are having problems managing a chronic health condition such as heart disease, breathing problems, Parkinson's or diabetes
- you have been falling
- your doctor has added a new medicine
- you need to learn how to do a new medical procedure in your home
- you have a wound that needs help with healing
- your vital signs, such as blood pressure or blood sugar levels, are not stable

Small Business Marketing Guide
This Webopedia Small Business Marketing Guide will help you manage online, Web-based marketing campaigns that will expand your customer base.
Small business marketing requires strategic planning and setting realistic goals to help you expand your customer base and sell more products and services. Investing in online marketing strategies can help a small business achieve those goals, but as is the case with many small businesses owners, we often find ourselves with limited marketing budgets and knowledgeable staff to work with.
Small business marketing is easier when you have a nice cash-flow backing it, but if that isn't your situation, don't give up. There are many online small business marketing campaigns you can take advantage of without breaking the bank.
1. Small Business Email Marketing
Email marketing (or e-mail marketing) is a popular form of small business marketing. It offers one of the best advertising returns for any small business. According to research by the Direct Marketing Association, in 2008, email marketing returned $45.06 for every dollar spent on it -- but industry experts say that small businesses are slow to adopt email marketing practices. One contributing factor to low adoption rates by small businesses is due to time constraints. Small business owners are swamped and it can be a challenge to fit email marketing into an already full schedule. Another factor is that small business owners can be intimidated by the phrase "email marketing," and they mistakenly believe they need to be a marketing expert to run e-mail campaigns.
2. Small Business Marketing with Social Media
Social media is the new buzzword that is used to describe a variety of Web-based platforms, applications and technologies that enable people to socially interact with one another via the Web. Some examples of social media sites and applications include Facebook, YouTube, Del.icio.us, Twitter, Digg, blogs and other sites that have content largely contributed based on user participation — that is, sites that organize and deliver user-generated content (UGC). Unlike traditional PR and advertising, which can be costly, the main cost associated with social media is time, not cash. And any business willing to spend some time on social media and networking sites, building a community or fan base can benefit.
3. Small Business Marketing Strategy: Brand Advocates
The big and famous brands use brand advocates — people who talk favorably about the brand and pass on positive word-of-mouth (WOM) messages to other people. One things a small business owner should know is that brand advocates are just as important to a small business as they are to the bigger corporations out there. People like to buy from companies or people that they know and trust, and they tend not to buy from those they don't. But how do you build that trust, particularly online? How do you get customers to come to you without spending a lot of money on advertising? With word-of-mouth marketing — it's free, and it works.

4. Small Business SEO Tips
SEO, or search engine optimization is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Web site by ranking high in the natural, organic search results of a search engine. Following best practice advice for small business SEO can helps to ensure that your small business website is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine. Some small business owners may choose to invest in hiring an SEO expert, but if you have a small budget to work with, there are many things you can do on your own to boost your rank and visibility in search engine results page (SERP) listings.

6. Free Small Business Marketing with Blogs
A blog is different from a website in that it is more like an online journal where the blog owner (the blogger) posts short messages on a regular basis. These updates, called blog posts, are usually organized chronologically with the most recent post showing at the top of the page. Unlike most websites, blogs are indexed regularly by search engines, like Google. For small business marketing this is important because the text and images you post could be indexed within days and appear in search engine results more quickly than changes to your website pages. By posting details of new products and any changes you make to your store to your blog and adding links back to your e-commerce site, you can feed customers to new Web site content well before the new content has been indexed.

CINCINNATI -- Ohio has become the main battleground in a war of words in the last few weeks between President Obama and Mitt Romney over China's trade practices. "Ohio can't afford another four years of Obama's China policies," shot a Romney press release on Wednesday before his stops in Westerville, Bedford Heights, and Toledo. That prompted the Obama campaign to retort: "Mitt Romney tough on China? Hardly." The president was also in the Buckeye state for a campaign swing including Bowling Green, North Canton, and Kent State University.
Long before China became a big topic in the presidential race, Ohio's Democratic senator, Sherrod Brown, took up the cause of slamming China for its trade, manufacturing, and currency practices. For years, Brown has been the Senate's most dogged advocate of protectionist bills -- even criticizing Obama for not being tough enough on China's trade practices.
Brown's signature legislation is the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act, aimed at cracking down on China's currency policies. The bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support.
That could be one reason that both Brown and Obama are both now surging in the polls in Ohio -- even among the blue-collar whites who have been a tough sell for the president.
Nationally and in Ohio, Obama leads Romney with most voters. In a Gallup poll out on Wednesday, Obama leads Romney 50 percent to 44 percent nationally, and a Quinnipiac poll found that in Ohio, Obama leads Romney by 53 percent to 43 percent. The same poll found that Sen. Brown leads Republican challenger Josh Mandel in the state by 50 percent to 40 percent.
Among blue-collar whites -- the group Obama has struggled the most to reach -- Romney still has the lead nationally. In an Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll released on Sept. 21, Romney led Obama among noncollege whites by 54 percent to 37 percent. But in Ohio, that margin is much narrower -- Romney leads Obama among blue-collar whites by just 49 percent to 46 percent in the Quinnipiac poll.
Asked his thoughts on why he and Obama have made such gains among white blue-collar voters, Brown told National Journal, "I stand for something. I wake up every morning, I figure out how do you create jobs, how do you train veterans to go into the workplace, what do you with China and trade, how do you enforce trade laws? We have a new steel mill in Ohio because we enforced trade rules against the Chinese on oil country tubular steel."
Mandel opposes Brown's currency legislation.
Dan Ellis, a 57-year-old unemployed veteran who attended Brown's event on Tuesday morning, said the senator's China polices are one reason the Democrat appeals to men like him.
"That's a big issue. A friend of mine and I went up to Middletown, and I saw the biggest train I saw in years, and everything had Chinese writing on it. Something's got to be addressed. Apple -- everything's made over there. Can't they let us make the stuff we're buying? Maybe it's time that we use a little protectionism, because China still does."
The auto bailout is another reason Democrats poll well among blue-collar whites in this industrial state. In the same Quinnipiac poll, 62 percent of Ohio voters thought the auto bailout was mostly a success, and 61 percent of noncollege educated whites believed it was a success.
In Middletown, a mostly white crowd of union workers gathered for a rally for Brown outside a union lodge next to the AK Steel factory. Their spirits undampened by rain, they clapped, cheered, and hooted for Brown, who walked among the crowd, saying hello, slapping backs, and shaking hands. Half a dozen AK Steel workers got up to speak for Brown. Retired AK Steel worker Kendall Mays said that he and other company retirees have been concerned about whether their pension trust fund would remain solvent. Foreign companies that don't have the same protections for labor are sending cheap exports to the United States, he said, adding that "it becomes worrisome if a company like AK can stay open in the U.S."
Brown has taken on the fight to combat this problem with the auto bailout, outlining a four-point manufacturing strategy that includes going after foreign countries for currency manipulation, and supporting unions.
"We're bringing back manufacturing jobs because of the auto rescue, we've gained them back because we're enforcing trade rules. Youngstown has a new steel plant because we're enforcing trade rules. In Sidney, Ohio, more aluminum is being made because were enforcing trade rules. Because we're standing up to China, we're fighting for American business and American manufacturers," said Brown, who spent Wednesday addressing those groups, first at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College where he spoke to a group of unemployed veterans taking job-training classes, and later at Middletown.

Jose Mourinho is eager to win the Champions League for a third time and insists playing on the European stage is vital for his developing Chelsea team.
Six years to the day since last taking charge of Chelsea in the Champions League, Mourinho's side on Wednesday night host Basle in Group E.
The Portuguese departed following a draw with Norway's Rosenberg on September 18, 2007, which extended Chelsea's winless run to three games, having twice reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, without going further.
Mourinho won the 2004 Champions League with Porto and 2010 competition with Inter Milan and Chelsea finally got their hands of the trophy they coveted most in 2012.
"I never felt the business was unfinished," said Mourinho, who believes he contributed to the Munich success.
"For me the important thing is that Chelsea had a dream and the dream became true, by winning the Champions League.
"When you work in a club and you work in that, you prepare the future, you leave something in the club that remains for years.
"Your business doesn't finish the day you leave, your business finishes the day everything you did disappears.
"It's normal that if you win it once you dream to win it twice. That happened to me.
"And when I won the second time I dreamed to win for a third time. That's the nature of football."
Chelsea last year became the first holders to suffer the ignominy of group stage elimination and they must end a three-match winless run to make a positive start to the campaign.
"I want to try to start the group phase by winning," he said.
"Last season Chelsea went outside his natural habitat, which is the Champions League. We don't want to do that again.
"It's important for a team of kids. It's very, very important for them to play on the big stage and the big stage is the Champions League."
Mourinho appears to be tempering expectations six years on from the end to his first spell as boss, by speaking of the need to nurture young talent.
Ahead of the Rosenberg clash, Mourinho delivered a cryptic message about eggs - interpreted as a parting shot at Roman Abramovich and the owner's recruitment policy.
Asked what his eggs are like now, Mourinho said: "Beautiful young eggs, eggs that need a mum, in this case a dad, to take care of them.
"And one day we'll arrive in a moment when the weather changes, the sun rises, we break the eggs and the eggs are ready to go for life at the top level."
Basle boss Murat Yakin says his side are underdogs, despite having a good record against English clubs, helping to knock out Manchester United from the 2011/12 Champions League and eliminating Tottenham from the Europa League last term.
"Chelsea is the clear favourite," Yakin said.
"We've got Schalke and (Steaua) Bucharest in this group. We'll be playing for second place with these two teams."

Letters to the Editor: 04.13.09
Unfair blogs
Now that the city election is over, I wanted to say a few words about Mayor Henry Garrett.
I believe all the blogs lost sight of what Henry Garrett accomplished during his years of service to our city. He dedicated his entire life to Corpus Christi, first as a police officer, lieutenant, captain, commander, and police chief, then as a City Council member, followed by four years as mayor.
I would like anyone to challenge my statement that our city did move forward in areas such as street repairs/drainage (infrastructure), establishment of industry, the advancement of the university, just to name a few.
This city did not stagnate the entire time he served as a public servant and city leader. I found all the hateful comments directed toward him in all the blogs I read and news reports totally unfair.

Clear the air
My sincerest regards to the smokers who will suffer for not being allowed to smoke in a public building or business. It's not the end of the world. It appears another delay is in the works for businesses to accommodate you.
I honestly believe some businesses that allow smoking are totally disregarding those who do not smoke. Many nonsmokers like to shoot pool, dance, bowl, play bingo, listen to blues music and enjoy a cold beer in relaxing atmospheres just like smokers but hold back and do not oblige because of cigarette smoke. Many nonsmokers still visit these business but in the back of their minds wish there wasn't any smoke. Don't these business owners realize they might have more business if their premises were free of smoke?
There are many people who can't wait to have a cold beer, shoot pool and listen to great music in a smoke-free environment.

I can think of no finer name to honor our new school than that of the Honorable Judge Loyd Neal. This is a towering figure of a man, whose dedication, knowledge and wisdom has been a beacon of strength in our city government for many years.
Corpus Christi had the benefit of four terms of Neal's determination to move Corpus Christi forward, to put the city's government finances on sound footing, and to re-establish a bond of trust between the citizenry and elected officials. He brought strong leadership to City Hall at a time when it was badly needed.
It would be an appropriate honor to name the next CCISD school to show our respect for Samuel L. Neal Jr. This man has dedicated his life to public service and has sacrificed so very much and asked so very little from a public that desperately needs his expertise at this time.

A close race
I would like to thank everyone who voted in this election. It was a close race. I had the pleasure of meeting some great people along the way and develop some new friendships. I will continue with my pledge to serve the community I love. This city has always been my home and it is where my heart is.
A special thanks to my supporters who showed they had faith in me. A special thanks to Sandra, Maria, Mia, Lizette, Sean, Anthony, Shirley, Larry, Michael, Amy and family, I appreciate the time you helped. Thanks to my family for their unconditional love and support. Thank you to those who endorsed me with your vote of confidence.
I believe God has a purpose for me, but for now, I will serve as he guides me and continue to help everyone I can in Corpus Christi.
Patricia Noyola
Failure to act
In the face of disturbing allegations of abuse at our state school facility, we must unequivocally make clear that we do not tolerate actions or inactions which endanger the safety, care and quality of life of our most vulnerable populations.
For those individuals who were entrusted in providing quality care, to then betray that trust in such a despicable manner is completely unacceptable. The perpetrators must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However, the work of dedicated employees who continue to live up to their responsibility should not be tainted by the individuals who carried out the deplorable acts.
Words cannot express my disappointment in officials for choosing to ignore loved ones' concerns, legislators' advice and U.S. Department of Justice's recommendations which could have prevented further incidents of abuse at the Corpus Christi State School. It is inexcusable for those charged with the highest responsibility to protect and maintain a quality of life for state school residents to be inactive.
By choosing not to act two years ago, they failed our residents and state. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of our most vulnerable population, every available resource and infinite amount of energy must be exhausted.

Kings of funk to open Carolina Performing Arts season
Saxophonist Maceo Parker and singer-songwriter George Clinton – two North Carolina natives who pioneered rhythm and blues and funk – will open the 2013-2014 season of Carolina Performing Arts at UNC. Carolina Performing Arts announced the season roster during a Wednesday event at Memorial Hall at UNC.
Parker and Clinton will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 27 in Memorial Hall. Born in Kinston, Parker is known to many for his work in James Brown's band from 1963 to 1970. Parker's brother Melvin signed for the drum seat with Brown in 1963. He asked Brown if he needed a saxophonist, and Maceo Parker took the chair. Under his name, he as produced several recordings, among them "Roots Revisited," "Life on Planet Groove" and "Soul Classics."
In the mid-1970s, Parker teamed up with Clinton and performed with his organizations Parliament and Funkadelic. Born in Kannapolis, Clinton led bands that fused rhythm and blues with electronic and rock elements. Parliament's recordings include "Chocolate City" and "Mothership Connection." Funkadelic, which contained many of the same musicians as Parliament, released "Maggot Brain," "America Eats its Young," "One Nation under a Groove," and other albums.
Other musical offerings of the coming season include pianist Andras Schiff, who will perform Bach's "Goldberg Variations" Oct. 23; Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding and Leo Genovese, also known as The Spring Quartet, Jan. 31, 2014; and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, with violinist Joshua Bell, March 28, 2014.
Dance offerings begin Oct. 8 and 9 with performances by Israeli company L-E-V, featuring choreographers Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar. The Carolina Ballet will perform the Christmas classic "The Nutcracker" Dec. 7 and 8. The acrobatic dance troupe STREB will perform a piece titled "Forces!"

QUESTION: I was in court last week and the judge appointed a corporation as the receiver in a case. I thought a receiver cannot be a corporation. Has something changed?
ANSWER: Previously, California Financial Code § 106, defined "trust business" as the "business of acting as an executor, administrator… receiver… under the appointment of any court or by authority of any law of this or any other state or the United States, or as a trustee for any purpose permitted by law." Financial Code § 1500 went on to provide that no corporation shall engage in the trust business unless it is qualified as required by that section, which required generally that it be a bank. The one exemption was set forth in Financial Code § 1501.2 which provided: "Nothing in this division shall prohibit a non-profit corporation from acting as a receiver pursuant to the appointment of any court." It was, therefore, clear that, in general, a receiver in California could not be a corporation.
However, last year the legislature amended the Financial Code. It repealed § 106 and replaced it with § 115, which basically says the same thing. It repealed § 1500 and replaced it with § 1550, which basically says the same thing. It repealed § 1501.2 and replaced it with § 1553 which drastically changed the exemptions to the requirement for a corporation to qualify to act as a receiver. In particular, Financial Code § 1553 now provides:
[T]he following persons are exempt from Section 1550:
(d) Any person appointed as receiver, trustee, or other fiduciary by a court of competent jurisdiction acting pursuant to that authority.
"Person" is defined in § 18 of the Financial Code as "any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation, company, limited liability company, syndicate, estate, trust, business trust, or organization of any kind." As a result, given the amendments to the Financial Code, a corporation can be appointed as a receiver. Whether that is a good idea is another question. From a receiver's standpoint, it may be beneficial to have the protection of a corporate entity. From the standpoint of the court and parties to receivership actions, it may raise a number of issues. First, a corporation cannot appear in court without counsel. Second, who at the corporation is acting for the court as receiver – the CEO? the CFO? the CEO's secretary? any officer of the corporation? We will just have to see how this plays out and how willing courts are to appoint persons who are not natural, breathing, people as their receivers.

Intimidated by 3D modeling packages? Dip a toe in the water with CINEMA 4D (C4D) Lite, a slimmed down version of CINEMA 4D included with After Effects CC. Motion graphics designer Angie Taylor shows you how to build a complete sequence in C4D Lite, progressing from initial object modeling, to animation, lighting, camera rigging, texturing, and final render. Plus, learn to animate text, create random movement with wiggle expressions, track cameras in live-action footage to add new 3D elements, and light your scene. Angie also round-trips the project files to After Effects for visual effects and color correction. With over 100 videos, this course allows you to explore almost every aspect of 3D motion graphics creation, within this accessible introductory tool.
In this movie we're going to have a look at something called ambient occlusion. We're doing Chapter11_10.c4d, and if you want to follow along, you can open up that project too. Now if you've never used 3D applications before, you might think. What is ambient occlusion. Well I will tell you. Now in order to see ambient occlusion at its best and worst, we need light to accentuate our scene. Now, before we add a light what I'm going to do is just hit shift R to render my scene to the picture viewer.
So that I can compare it once I've added the light. I'll close the picture viewer and then we're going to add a light that we haven't used before, a target light. Now target lights are great. You can move the light around and it always points towards a target. And here's my target and if I move the target around. You'll notice the light follows. Now, I can change the target for the light. I could select the light and go into the Target tab of the light and drag any element into the Target Object dialog or menu and you'll notice that now becomes the target.
And this is great. If you got something that's moving around and you want the light to follow it, this is all you need to do. And the light will follow it wherever it goes. So we've now got the light targeted onto the robot. So, once I've got my light in there, what I want to do is render it and see how it looks. So I'm going to hit Shift-R again, to render to the picture viewer. And now we can compare. Before and after. So I can go in here and select without the light, with the light, and just see how it looks and decide which I like.
Now, I like it with the light but you'll notice that when I've added the light, notice particularly at the bottom of the robot feet, we start to lose a bit of definition and detail. And this tends to happen with 3D softare. It's very difficult to render shadows in areas where there isn't a lot of distance between the surfaces. And you'll notice particularly in areas like where the feet touch the floor here, we start to lose definition. Now, you can accentuate that by adding global illumination.
And complex area lengths, but that will increase render time. So instead what we're going to do is use something called ambient seclusion which is an effect. Now ambient seclusion can be applied in one of two ways. It can be applied as a shader to the individual object via materials. Or you can add it to the complete scene that's in effect and that's what we're going to do here. And basically what it does is it calculates the distance between objects and it creates a realistic shadow or colloration just to accentuate what should be a shadowed area in the image.
And it's really fantastic. So, what we're going to do is we're going to add it to the complete scene. And to do that, we do that in the render setting. So we go to render. Edit render settings and you click on effect here and choose ambient clusion. Now that's the default settings so lets render it. So lets hit shift r to see how it looks with ambient clusion added. Now you may notice it may increase render time slightly. Now you may find it increases render time a little bit, but please trust me, it won't be as much as if you had used global illumination, and complex area lights.
But you'll see that we have made quite a difference. Notice the shadow in the areas, like tight areas between the head and the body, the feet and the floor Is much better. It's looking much more realistic. Now we can go into our settings and make adjustments to them. So let's close the picture viewer and have a look at what we can do. One thing that can really help without really losing too much is reduce the maximum ray length. And if I reduce that to 50 and hit shift r again. You'll notice it should be a bit faster.
Okay, six seconds we've got now and we can compare before and after and we see we our losing a little bit of detail. But if I compare it to with and without, were still getting an improvement. Now one thing you can do is you can output your ambient occlusion as a seperate pass and then boost it in After Effects by using levels or something. And that's something that I do often. Or you can add contrast to it, so I could put contrast up to 50%, hit shift r, and see if that a, adds or removes any time. B, makes it look better.
So again we're looking for a tradeoff. So this time if I compare that to this one, you'll see we're getting a slighter better result and there's not that much differnece between that one and that one, although there is a bit. So, it is a tradeoff, you have to kind of keep playing with these settings. Maybe we need. 75 centimetres for our ray length. Maybe we can decrease the accuracy down to 20%. We can also take the samples down. So take them down to two and 16 and lets have a look at how that looks.
Okay, it is getting faster. It feels faster. Down to five seconds. And again we're still getting the improvement in those shadow areas. So you can play around with these settings. Maybe the contrast is a little too high now so I might need to. Bring that contrast down to about 20%. So, you want to play around with these settings until you get the right trade off between image quality and file size. And as I said, have a think about rendering out your ambient to occlusion pass.
Now, you'll see what at four seconds. So, four seconds with ambient occlusion. And it's still much better than it was without the ambient occlusion. Now, remember we can now put that as a separate pass. So, we could if we go to our multi pass options, we could click on multi pass. And I could add ambient occlusion as a separate pass. And now when I hit Shift+R to render I can have a look at my ambient occlusion pass and I can see that well I could take into After Effects.
And I may be blur it and enhance levels of it and that might give me a little bit more shadow. So you'll see by comparing the image and the passes and looking at the history and comparing frames, you can start to come up with a compromise between image quality and render times. And apply ambient seclusion to really improve the image quality quite considerably for quite a small trade off.

Current Research
Solitary Confinement: Social Death and its Afterlives (Minnesota University Press, 2013) is a phenomenological critique of solitary confinement, drawing on the work of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas, as well as legal and historical documents in the history of the US penitentiary system, supermax prisons and detention camps such as Guantanamo Bay. Deprived of regular contact with concrete others in a shared space, many prisoners come unhinged from reality; they experience perceptual distortions and hallucinations, they lose track of time, and they even become unable to identify the boundaries of their own bodies. What must subjectivity be like in order for these effects to be possible? Who are we, such that we can be undone in this way, unhinged from ourselves by being separated from others? What ends are served by isolating prisoners to the point of psychological and even ontological derangement?
