As one of the better known players in the cooling industry, Zalman has to constantly update its product lineup, and it seems that its most recent CPU cooler has shown its face, displaying quite the unique design.
The CPU market is one that is responsible for the existence and continued growth of another market, that of cooling products.
Of course, cases, graphics cards and memory products also get their own cooling solutions, but it is still CPUs that somehow get landed with the greatest myriad of possible models.
Of course, all central processing units ship with a default, reference cooling device, but that doesn't mean consumers won't swap it for a better one.
There are multiple reasons why customers would choose to do this, such as lower temperatures, less noise, lower power draw or all these at once.
That said, Zalman has issued a press release in which it presented the CNPS11X Extreme, capable of handling even the hottest chips out there.
For those that want numbers, the newcomer is capable of chilling chips with TDP (thermal design power) of up to 350W.
The most striking thing about it is no doubt the V-shaped dual heatsink design, which optimizes airflow and is unlike anything other manufacturers are known to use. The Composite Heatpipe technology also enhances heat transfer rate by 1.5 times.
Meanwhile, the heat from the heatsink is dispersed by the ultra quiet Blue LED PWM fan, whose diameter is of 120mm and which can spin at up to 1,950 RPM.
Finally, the entire product, save the fan of course, is plated in what the release dubs black-pearl nickel (the base materials are copper and aluminum).
Availability is set for April, at which point both Intel CPUs as well as chips form Advanced Micro Devices should be in a position to benefit from its services.

New theory of Tibet geology put forward
Pasadena, Calif. (UPI) Apr 6, 2011
U.S. researchers say they have a new theory of the geology underlying the Tibetan plateau, long thought to be floating on a hot crust moving like a liquid.
"The idea that Tibet is more or less floating on a layer of partially molten crust is accepted in the research community," Jean-Philippe Avouac, professor of geology at the California Institute of Technology said. "Our research proposes the opposite view: that there is actually a really strong lower crust that originates in India."
The insights could lead to a better understanding of the processes that have shaped the Himalaya Mountains and Tibet, the most tectonically active continental area in the world, a Cal Tech release said Wednesday.
The researchers propose the region's tectonic activity is the result of the Indian crust thrusting strongly underneath the southern portion of the Tibetan Plateau and locking into the upper crust.
Such underground plate collisions are common geological processes that have occurred repeatedly in the course of Earth's history, lifting continents and mountain ranges, but are presently happening in the Tibet area with a vigor and energy little seen elsewhere, Avouac said.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Miztelling Classic Look, Dress Up or Down Gabrielle mock neck is a three-season, all-purpose travel dress: it fits beautifully, is sturdy, and can be accessorized in an infinite number of ways. I'm delighted with my purchase. If you buy only one dress, consider this one! September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ladybug1 I am extremely pleased with everything I have gotten from TravelSmith. Decent prices for excellent quality merchandise and wonderful customer service. I just wish the shipping were a little less. September 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by AgnesCockroach a particular fit I bought this dress one size too big, because the other dress with a built in slip from Travel Smith that I have tends to hike up on me, even though it isn't small. I found, however, that while this built in slip is bigger, so it doesn't hike up, the top was actually more like 2 sizes too big. It was curved to fit a woman with a meaty back. I took it in a little myself, because it was an item I really wanted for travel, and it looks okay. January 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nell2 Not flattering It is too big through the bust. Also I thought it be longer - below the knee. A good choice for bustier women. I am returning it. September 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Miztelling Dress Up or Down Delighted with this dress that is well made, warm in the winter, and looks dressy with a festive sweater or stole. I'm planning for this garment to be THE one dressy winter international dress for years to come. Smart purchase. October 25, 2013

Book signings: Tica Tallent; Freeman Martin
'Jazzy' art to be displayed at Locke Design
"Jazzy and the Dog Walk," a children's book by Anderson author Tica Tallent, is available at the Anderson County Museum Shop, Diane Young's Hair Salon and on amazon.com for $14.99. The book is about 7-year-old Jasmine, who organizes a dog fashion show to raise money for charities that put shoes on poor children's feet. Ten percent of the book's profits will be donated to Soles 4 Souls and Higher Ground Ministries. The book's illustrations by Marquin Campbell will be displayed Feb. 22 from 7-9 p.m. at the Gallery at Locke Design, 4115 # B-11, Liberty Highway, and Tallent will sign the books that night. RSVP is required to attend by calling 864-375-0104. Tallent also will sign her books at the Youth Art Month opening reception from 1 to 3 p.m. March 3 at the Anderson Arts Center and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 16 at Belk at Anderson Mall. Her first book, "What is Beautiful: Secrets from a Personal Shopper" also will be available at Belk.
Get 'Woodshed Wisdom' at Seneca church
Freeman Martin, a resident of Seneca, will be available to sign copies of his book, "Woodshed Wisdom, Vol. 1" at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Utica Baptist Church, 4056 Wells Highway in Seneca.
Imagine growing up in a clapboard farmhouse without running water, without an inside bathroom, where the sole source of heat was a two-sided fireplace and a wood-burning cookstove in the kitchen, and where air conditioning was nonexistent.
In "Woodshed Wisdom, Vol. 1," Martin gives his personal account of how he experienced God and his word while growing up on a southern farm in the 1950s. He describes a humbler way of life with daily communion with God.

RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT - BOMBAY - A Norfolk man faces two felony charges, a misdemeanor and numerous vehicle and traffic law violations after allegedly reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour when attempting to flee from troopers and striking a marked patrol vehicle when he was attempting to turn onto the Tarbell Road in the town of Bombay.
Massena-based state police charged Matthew D. Love, 30, of 320 River Road, Norfolk, with a misdemeanor count of third-degree fleeing a police officer after he allegedly reached speeds of 100 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone at approximately 12:45 p.m. Tuesday after troopers said he failed to comply with a marked police vehicle with lights and sirens activate. He was arraigned on the misdemeanor count by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and released under the supervision of the probation department before being transported to Bombay Town Court for arraignment on two felony counts. The results of that arraignment were not immediately available Tuesday night.
Troopers charged Love with third-degree criminal mischief for striking the police vehicle and with second-degree reckless endangerment when he nearly struck a vehicle operated by Michele F. Mitchell, Massena, after she pulled onto Route 37 from a parking lot in Akwesasne. She told police after pulling into the eastbound lane of Route 37 and looking in her rear view mirror she saw a red SUV coming up behind at an apparent high rate of speed and being followed by police vehicles behind it with lights and sirens activated.
"I was going to pull over to the right, and I (saw) the SUV go to the right then suddenly swerve to the left and go around me> It scared the crap out of me. I didn't move for a minute until I felt OK," she said in her statement.
Troopers ticketed for operation of an uninspected motor vehicle for operating a vehicle with a sticker that expired in January and charged him with second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle for operating a vehicle when he had multiple suspensions and revocations on a license that had expired and reckless driving.
He also faces multiple speeding violations for reaching speeds of up to 100 mph in a 55 mph zone on the Rooseveltown Road in the town of Massena, 90 mph in a 45 mph zone on Route 37 in the town of Bombay, 100 mph in a 35 mph zone on Roosevelt Road in the town of Bombay, 100 mph in a 45 mph zone on Route 37 in the town of Bombay, 70 mph in a 30 mph zone on River Road in the town of Bombay and 70 mph in a 35 mph zone on Tarbell Road in the town of Bombay.

Every time a new technology comes alon I am immediately confused as to how I ever functioned before it existed. Google Maps on my Blackberry is a great example. I can't leave the house without that anymore. And what did we do before Map Quest? Did we just wander around? This video makes the eloquent point that as much as those conveniences help our everyday lives, they're kind of bad for dramatic tension.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 6, 2012.
A young foreign correspondent's adventures amid the outset of a world war, recounted in a book and enhanced ebook.
About this project
Don't Miss The Updates
New to this story? After you've watched the video be sure to check out the "updates" tab above for more of Mel's fascinating story. Also don't forget that you can just click the green box that reads "Back this project" if you want to pledge. Even just a couple dollars makes a big difference.
A Journalist's Glimpse Of History
"We sit by the side of a Bataan roadway waiting — our visions of past months of war are vivid, clouded only momentarily during this waiting by thick sheets of Bataan dust rolling off the road every time a car or truck races by. We wonder for a moment when we will return — and how...."
-Melville Jacoby, March 17, 1942
Melville Jacoby never returned to Bataan. The reporter died about a month after writing these words in a cable from the Philippines. He was only 25 years old. Yet those 25 years were packed with more accomplishments than many of us can claim in twice as many years.
Your support will help me tell the story of Mel's life in a book and ebook enhanced with multimedia elements. It's a story about adventure, romance and tragedy during a time of great global upheaval. It's a perspective on a moment of history as seen from the eyes of one young journalist, and a glimpse at how that moment colors our world today.
Mel's Story
Melville Jacoby never got to write his book. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Jacoby had lived with a Chinese warlord's son, met Henry Luce and worked as a stringer for Time, Life, the UPI and others. Mel quickly earned respect for his coverage of the undeclared war between Japan and China. He sent radio broadcasts and photos from the nationalists' bombed capital at Chungking; chronicled the exiled Jewish community in Shanghai; interviewed Chiang Kai-Shek and profiled Madame Chiang; and was arrested by the Japanese on suspicion of espionage. Along the way, Mel earned a masters degree from Stanford. His thesis challenged newspapers' lack of interest in the violence ravaging Asia while breathlessly covering the hostilities looming over Europe.
Amid the onset of war, Mel fell in love with fellow journalist Annalee Whitmore, one of the first female war correspondents. The two married just before Pearl Harbor, cut their honeymoon short in a dramatic escape from the Phillipines, and proceeded to cover the conflict. Five months later, Mel died alongside an Army Air Force general during a freak airfield accident. Among the grieving family he left behind were his adoring cousins, my grandmother Peggy and her sister, Jackee.
I need your help to write the book Mel never got to write.
What I've done so far, and why me?
I'm uniquely positioned to tell Mel's story. Not only do I have the memories of my grandmother and her sister, we also have all of Mel's letters to and from his mother, much of his other correspondence with editors and colleagues and lovers and friends, reporting notes, photographs from all across Asia, and other primary sources.
In addition to using this material and other research to describe Mel's life and career, I plan to ask questions about the work foreign correspondents are doing today during another era of global upheaval. I've established contact with others connected to Melville, such as the daughter of Mel's Chinese roommate when he was an exchange student, and I hope to use some of the funding from this Kickstarter project to pay for travel to consult archives, conduct interviews and do other research.
The electronic version will be published in a variety of formats, including Kindle, iBook, Nook and PDF. I may also use the soon-to-be-beta-tested publishing platform from the Atavist. Kickstarter funding will enable me to digitize Mel's old radio broadcasts, develop interactive maps and timelines describing his reporting and historic events surrounding his life and career, and produce audio and video clips of interviews with sources.
It will also involve less glamorous work involved with self-publishing these materials. To tell Mel's story properly means to tell it professionally, and that means bringing an editor on board to guide the development of this project and help me hone this story. I'll also need to collaborate with a designer to create my cover and typeset the book. Additionally, I'll be paying for printing and distribution myself, and taking the lead on marketing the project.
Wait, Bill! Why should I care?
Besides the really cool incentives that you can see to the right (and they are pretty sweet)? Besides the possibility of a fascinating story of adventure, love, tragedy and family? Besides a glimpse at history? Besides the chance for a note written with a piece of that history?
Do you ever wonder which stories news outlets are telling effectively, and which they're overlooking? Mel and other journalists of his time saw the war with Japan brewing but couldn't get newspapers to cover it adequately. What does Mel's experience teach us about the way journalists cover the world today?
Melville didn't go to China because he loved Asia. He went because his dream was to be a great journalist, but in going he fell in love — both metaphorically with the country and literally, with Annalee — and had a number of adventures along the way. Your support will help me tell his story.
Thank you.

Eleven Etudes in the Form of Old Dances, Op. 19
Natalya Shkoda, piano
Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko (1896–1938) was one of the most important Ukrainian composers and pianists of the first half of the twentieth century. His Eleven Etudes in the Form of Old Dances, Op. 19, of 1927–29 offer an organic synthesis of the late-Romantic piano tradition, neo-Classical impulses in their use of Baroque dance-forms, and elements of Ukrainian folk-music. This recording of a neglected monument in the piano literature is the first step in the discovery of a composer who was once a cultural icon in his native Ukraine but is now as good as unknown outside its borders.

Gorgeous Romantic Piano Music using Baroque Dance Forms
Occasionally one hears unfamiliar music and immediately falls in love with it. That has been my experience with these eleven piano pieces by a Ukrainian composer I'd never even heard of before, Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko (1896-1938). If it weren't for the adventuresome spirit of Toccata Classics' guiding light, Martin Anderson, I certainly never would have come across this music which has been in my player almost constantly since I got this CD a week or so ago. This has so often been the case for me with Toccata Classics releases that I've recently joined their 'Toccata Discovery Club'. One can explore and hear mp3 excerpts of all the tracks on the label's CDs at www.toccataclassics.com. The label specializes in worthy music not otherwise available on disc.
Kosenko was himself a virtuoso pianist who began composing early in life. His 'Eleven Etudes in the Form of Old Dances, Op. 19', written in the late 1920s, is a collection of pieces using the dance forms familiar to us from the baroque -- gavotte, allemande, minuet, courante, sarabande, bourrée etc. They flow so nicely that one could think that they are predictable, but indeed none of them is; there are surprises, lovely ones, in every one of the études. Although they sound technically only moderately advanced, on closer listening one hears that they are not; they truly are studies that would pay the ambitious pianist's attention. They are unfailingly melodious, often with what we are told are Ukrainian folk-like melodies, sometimes making use of modal scales. The harmonic language is, for the most part, familiar from such composers as Tchaikovsky or early Scriabin, but occasionally one runs into jazz-inflected or impressionist harmonies, or Bach/Busoni baroqueries. Somehow this all fits together and sounds inevitable and 'right'.
There is not space here to describe all eleven études. Some highlights: No. 1, a gavotte, is perky, sassy, and has a particularly gorgeous set of melodies. No. 6, a bourrée in A major, is virtually a two-part invention with parallel or contrary motion in both hands, and with a folk-tinged middle section in the corresponding minor key. No. 10, a passacaglia, is the longest étude, lasting over eighteen minutes. It consists of an eight-bar ground bass followed by thirty-eight variations and a coda. This étude sounds both Bachian and Tchaikovskian. It features a dizzying array of technical challenges including trills, octaves, dynamic contrasts, challenging pedaling and variations in touch and rhythm. An impressive work. The set concludes with hyperlegato presto gigue in sonata form, a virtual perpetuum mobile.
Natalya Shkoda, the marvelous pianist on this disc, is herself a Ukrainian currently living in Texas. She makes a convincing advocate for this wonderful music. We are told this is 'Volume 1' of Kosenko's piano music and I for one am eager to hear more.
Scott Morrison Amazon 12th February 2009
In the United States, the name of Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko is not well known at all. Based on this compact disc, we have missed out on some incredible music from the Ukraine. Pianist Natalya Shkoda not only performs this music in a startling and masterly fashion but gives us an in-depth biography of the life of this short-lived composer with full annotations on the music itself.
Ms. Shkoda (Mrs. Sergey Smirnov) currently resides in Lubbock, Texas where her husband is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University. Interestingly, her final project for her doctorate degree consists of a research paper on Kosenko's Eleven Etudes in the Form of Old Dances, Op. 19, and this particular CD recording. From my point of view, based on this recording, she should be handed her degree with bells worn by the administrators for her stand-alone accomplishments!
The music: Kosenko worked on these Études between 1927 and 1929. As Ms. Shkoda advises: "They are Romantic pieces with a neo-Classical touch expressed through reference to the style and structure of Baroque dances … [and] their innovative aspect … lies in their unification of two different genres: simultaneously, they are both concert études and dances. Each one simultaneously explore different aspects of technique bringing them closer to the Lisztian type of étude than to that of Chopin."
Here's the Baroque dance sequence in the order performed: [1] Gavotte in D-flat; [2] Allemande in b-flat; [3] Menuet in G; [4] Courante in e; [5] Sarabande in a; [6] Bourée in A; [7] Gavotte in b; [8] Rigaudon in C; [9] Menuet in E-flat; [10] Passacaglia in g; and [11] Gigue in d.
While each of the eleven Études offer a new listening experience in the perception of a Ukrainian composer's take on Baroque dances, one will immediately recognize a great master at work. But my ears didn't really get caught until No. 8 began, and took me through the rest of the dances to the conclusion of the recording, never losing my devoted concentration and making me wonder why Kosenko's work is not better known in the West. With No. 8 (a Rigaudon), there is an harmonic appeal, of which the ears take immediate notice. Lovely melody flows from No. 9 (a Menuet). No. 10 is the most gigantic Étude of the entire collection, timing in at 18'49". This is a Passacaglia in the key of G Minor. To hold one's attention for over 18 minutes for one "mere" Étude requires some outstanding pianism - and we find it here without a flaw. (The other Études range in time from three-plus minutes to slightly more than seven minutes.) Étude No. 10, on its own, could find new favor among performing musicians, and as an alternative to passacaglias by Bach (in keyboard transcription), JFK Fischer, or Godowsky amongst others. Indeed, hold on to your hats for No. 10! No. 11 (a Gigue) brings the whole collection to a decidedly magnificent conclusion, reminiscent of JS Bach, though the virtuosity of the work is Lisztian, and perhaps somewhat Brahmsian in its darkness.
There is absolutely nothing pedantic in Natalya Shkoda's performance of this Ukrainian masterwork. She is polished and involved emotionally in every respect and possesses a full command of her keyboard.
It also helps to have a venue such as Katzin Concert Hall, School of Music, Arizona State University where these performances were recorded in one day, December 21, 2005. While the piano is not identified, it sounds to me to be an outstanding Steinway concert instrument that is beautifully in tune and impeccably voiced, from a roaring bass to the subtlest playing in the treble—absolutely no harshness in tone from the pianist or the piano. This venue—and its piano—seems to me to be a well-kept secret.
It has been a long time since I've heard a pianist from Russia/Ukraine that displayed such command of the piano. And fortunately for record collectors this disc is marked as Volume 1, meaning more is to come. (It will be difficult to wait.)
It might also be noted that Kosenko was born in St. Petersburg, Russia where the family still spoke the Ukrainian language. Later the family moved to Warsaw. Kosenko also spent a decade in the Ukrainian city of Zhitomir where he taught music, composed, and became heavily involved in myriad musical activities. There must be something special in the air about Zhitomir, (which I once visited, and Kharkov, from whence Ms. Shkoda hails)) because a number of great pianists came from those areas, including the legendary pianist Sviatoslav Richter.
Don't be afraid at all to go after this recorded-in-America performance by a Ukrainian pianist, with music composed by a Ukraininan composer on a disc with outstanding documentation manufactured in England!
Five stars and totally recommended
Lance G. Hill Klassical Music Guide
A country that can boast Moritz Rosenthal, Emil Giles and Vladimir Horowitz among other its sons might be said to have something of a pianistic tradition. Performer and composer Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko (1896-1938), a contemporary of all three, died young and remained in his Ukrainian homeland when others travelled further afield. Perhaps because of these factors, we are only now being given the opportunity to make ourselves familiar with his piano works.
This is the first recording of Eleven Etudes in the form of Old Dances to be made outside Ukraine – although the Ukrainian-born pianist Natalya Shkoda, making her recording debut, retains a geographic link. If this disk, volume one of Kosenko's piano music with at least two more disks planned, is anything to go by it is a great shame that this works have received such limited attention. These lyrical, accessible pieces were composed between 1927-1929. They make no secret of Kosenko's Ukrainian folk music influences but also stay roughly true to the dance forms such as bourrées, sarabandes, gavottes and menuets that he employs.
Length-wise most of the works hover around the five-minute mark, but the Passacaglia in G minor, a set of 38 variations, doubles that. According to Shkoda's detailed booklet notes, the Passacaglia offers 'an encyclopaedia of technical difficulties', which are ably manipulated by the young pianist. It's also the only work on the disc that really gives Shkoda a chance to demonstrate the true measure of her impressive pianistic range. Her tone is bright, and she navigates the many exposed runs with clarity and precision.
Kosenko described his op.19 as a 'family album', with the majority of the Etudes carrying a dedication to a relative (he reserves the Passacaglia for his wife, Anna). Whether each work bears any resemblance to the character of its dedicatee can only be imagined, but if so, then Kosenko's nephew Fedir must have been a particular favourite – 'his' lively Rigaudon in C major, no.8, provides one of the highlights here.
Maggie Williams International Piano
This is immensely attractive music that has been rescued from obscurity by Toccata Classics and Natalya Shkoda. Hers is the "First Western Recording".
Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko (1896-1938), born in St Petersburg, was Ukrainian, a highly respected composer, teacher and pianist (during his lifetime) whose musical gifts – there are stories of his prodigious ability, when a child, to memorise, sight-read, and transpose – allowed him to choose music as his career rather than the expected one in the army. Short-lived as he was, Kosenko wrote quite a lot of music, and not only for piano; there are chamber and orchestral works and concertos for violin and for piano.
Kosenko's Etudes, composed between 1927 to 1929, are immediately likeable while not being at all predictable – melodic, expertly crafted, flowing and embracing classical structure and romantic ideals, with Ukrainian folk-music embraced if not quoted from. If 'etude' suggests that these works are technically challenging, then this is no doubt the case – although Natalya Shkoda makes light work of such challenges – and what impresses is the clarity of Kosenko's writing and that his is a strong and distinctive musical language; there are echoes of Chopin and Tchaikovsky, to be sure, as well, at times, of a Bachian template, but there is also something pleasingly individual, too, based not on fad but on tradition and innate skill.
Kosenko's, then, is music of craft and heart, and a wide-range of emotions. The opening 'Gavotte' is jaunty and memorably tuneful; the fifth movement 'Sarabande' is soulful and dramatic; the following 'Bourrée' has the crispness of Rameau or Couperin (updated); and there is the drawing-room good-taste of the 'Minuet', the ultimate contrast with the large-scale nobility of the penultimate movement, a 'Passacaglia', lasting here nearly 20 minutes, music of substance, a brooding synthesis of Brahms and Rachmaninov. To complete the cycle – nine of the movements are dedicated to members of Kosenko's family – is a 'Gigue' that in its controlled rapidity offers a noble summation to music that is harmonically engaging, varied and resourceful.
Eleven Etudes in the Form of Old Dances is a real discovery, and is played with the utmost sympathy and technical elan by Natalya Shkoda; she also writes the booklet note, giving a general introduction to Kosenko as well as detailed commentary on the pieces. One wants to hear more of Kosenko's music – piano or otherwise. That this release is inscribed "Piano Music, Volume 1" seems wholly reasonable; Kosenko is a composer well overdue international consideration.

BT is one of the worlds leading providers of communications solutions and services operating in 170 countries, with about 3000 employees in North America. BT has reduced its carbon emissions in the UK by 60 percent since 1996 and has aggressive targets to reduce its carbon emissions by 80 percent globally (relative to a 1996 baseline) by 2020 through a combination of energy reduction and renewable energy initiatives. To contribute towards this, BT installed a 2,862-module, 601kW-DC solar photovoltaic (PV) system at its North American headquarters location in El Segundo, CA. The solar system was designed to maximize energy production, with the vast majority of the systems solar modules mounted on top of a state-of-the-art, elevated single-axis tracking system installed above the site's south facing parking lot. It is among the largest systems of its type in Southern California. The system, which was completed and became operational in December 2008, generates approximately one million kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually. The BT US and Canada site in California is an ideal location for a solar power system due to its large, unobstructed, south-facing areas. That, factored with BT's overall global climate change strategy and the pressing need for industry to cut carbon emissions, helped BT easily decide to pursue a solar plan for its energy requirements at the site.

Is the Museum of Television and Radio necessary anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely think we should keep a historical broadcast record of television, radio and other types of media. But isn't that what the Internet is for? Wouldn't a virtual museum accomplish the same purpose online without the need for a brick-and-mortar presence?
Granted, the Paley Center does do live events, such as celebrity discussion panels, but those are done at a variety of places now such as Comic Con and various other news media outlets. I see those sort of events frequently listed at the New York Times building.
What amazed me most about the place the last time I visited was how archaic the viewing system was. It takes a lot of waiting time to view something that is most likely now available instantly on Hulu or YouTube. Hopefully the forthcoming renovation will update that system as well.

Manche (50)
Prefecture: Saint-Lô
Subprefectures: Avranches, Cherbourg, Coutances
Population: 500,000
Website: www.manche-tourisme.com, manche.fr
Manche is part of the Basse-Normandie (lower Normandy) region. It includes the Cotentin peninsula and is bathed by the Manche (Channel) on the 350 km of its coastline. Geologically, the department is linked to the Armorican Massif and is above all a land of bocages (farmlands).
Manche is the first agricultural department in France for breeding, fruit and vegetables. Cherbourg-Octeville is an important port (fishing, yachting, French Navy, transport, commerce and shipbuilding). Nuclear industry has taken a major part in the department's economy. Tourism is also a major asset.
Km 1.5 : Saint-Martin-Des-Champs
Population: 2,800
Deserted until the 1970s, when its school closed down, St Martin des Champs has been growing again in recent years and the school reopened in 2005. The resurrection of the village coincided with the installation of several shops while St Martin remains proud of its agricultural past and avoided an excessive urbanisation.
Prefecture: Caen
Basse-Normandie, created in 1956, includes three departments: Calvados, Orne and Manche. It coincides with the Western part of the old province of Normandy and includes part of the Perche. The split of Normandy into two entities – Base and Haute-Normandie – is a reality dating back from the 16thcentury. Basse-Nromandie is France's number one region for the production of butter, fresh cheese (camembert, pont-l'eveque), cider, leech and turnip. It is also the region with the most horses with 12 pc of the country's population and the fourth for the automobile industry.

Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel
A unique site and architecture.
The Benedictine Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is one of the most remarkable examples of mediaeval religious and military architecture and was one of Christianity's most important pilgrimage sites from the 8th to the 18th century. The Abbey comprises a superb ensemble of clerical buildings including the abbey church, the cloister, the refectory, the monks' ambulatory and the gardens of what has been known as the "Merveille" (Marvel) since the 12th century.
In summer, the Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel is best seen in all its splendour after sunset during the special "sons et lumières" shows.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn 4 credit hours from the following two courses. All participating students will take both courses.
- Criminal Law - International and Comparative Perspectives (3 credit hours) - Professor Richard Meyer.
This course will introduce students to the fields of International Criminal Law and Comparative Criminal Law. Additionally, it will look for commonalities of jurisprudence among international and domestic systems of criminal law. Students will study: treaties; United Nations Security Council Resolutions; ad hoc tribunal statutes and judgements; domestic constitutional, statutory, and judicial sources of law from common law, civil law, Asian law, religious law and tribal law legal systems; and customary international law. Grades will be based upon a single comprehensive final exam.
- Status of Forces Agreement Seminar (1 credit hour) - Dean Jim Rosenblatt.
This seminar will focus on the international agreements used when the United States stations its forces in another country. Students will examine how these agreements are administered using the Status of Forces Agreement negotiated with Germany and Korea as the primary teaching vehicles. The seminar will examine how signatories work within the agreements to satisfy the needs of each signatory and how the adapt the agreements to deal with changed circumstances and conditions to avoid renegotiation of the agreements.
Dean Rosenblatt's and Professor Meyer's biographies can be found at law.mc.edu
All Standard MC Law rules for class attendance, participation and grading will apply to these two courses. Please refer to the MC Law 2015 - 2016 Academic Year Catalog for details. Grades will be determined by final exams and class participation.

Imagine what former All-America and NBA guard Trent Tucker could have accomplished at the University of Minnesota from 1978-82 if the three-point line were around. He does.
Tucker, eighth on the Gophers' scoring list (1,445 points) and now a Big Ten Network analyst, will become the fifth player to have his jersey (No. 32) retired at Williams Arena, at halftime of tonight's game between the Gophers (18-5, 6-5) and Indiana (6-16, 1-9). Monday, Tucker discussed that honor, this season's team and more with the Pioneer Press.
Q: Did you ever think you would have your jersey retired one day at Minnesota?
A: I was more concerned about winning basketball games and a Big Ten championship. I knew we had a great recruiting class coming in. I knew, for the first few years, I would play with some really good players. One of those players turned out to be Kevin McHale, who was a hall of famer at the highest level. We grew as young men, and by the time we got to our third and fourth year, we really understood what it was going to take for us to win a Big Ten championship.
Q: What will it be like to see your jersey hanging up in the Barn rafter with legends like Kevin McHale, Lou Hudson and Mychal Thompson?
A: You look at all of the great players that have come through this program in the last 100 years. To have an opportunity to have your number retired is unbelievable. I played with some great players. I played for a wonderful coach (Jim Dutcher).
Q: Pure shooters like you seem to be missing in college and the NBA now. Why?
A: More kids now aren't working on their jump shots — either they're driving to the basket or looking to dunk. Kids today are so athletic and jump so high that they can get to the rim, and they're always looking for the spectacular play. The midrange jump shot has been lost.
Q: What more would you have done in college with the three-point line?
A: My backcourt teammate at the time (Darryl Mitchell) and I would have scored 500 to 1,000 more points if we had that luxury. We had a low-post guy like Randy Breuer who could score. The defense had to collapse on our inside game. The length of the three-point line later at 19 feet, 9 inches was like a midrange jump shot for Darryl and myself. We probably took 75 to 80 percent of our shots from behind that distance. We both were pretty good shooters.
Q: Who have been the best shooters at Minnesota since you played?
A: Voshon Lenard was a very good outside shooter. I don't know if I can think of many more. Blake Hoffarber has a very good outside shot. Willie Burton was a very good shooter and an effective player, as well.
Q: Hoffarber broke out of a slump with six three-pointers at Ohio State. How does a great shooter get out of a slump?
A: If you take bad shots, your confidence begins to drop, and you have no rhythm, and it will be hard to break that slump. If you continue to take good shots, at some point your stroke will come back. We all saw the importance of (Hoffarber's) shooting against Ohio State. When he got hot from the outside, he gave his team a chance to win. He reminds me of (former NBA all-star) Chris Mullin with the way he releases the ball as a left-handed shooter. He just has to continue to shoot with confidence.
Q: What about the Gophers this season? They've lost four of six, so should they be worried about making the NCAA tournament?
A: I'm not worried for them. They still have a lot of games left. They have a tough seven games left, especially on the road, but they should have confidence that they can win on the road because they have shown they can. They beat Louisville at a neutral site. They had a huge win against Wisconsin on the road after being down 13 points.
Q: What advice would you give coach Tubby Smith about fixing his team offensively?
A: This is a team that's built around defense. When their defense is strong, when they're forcing turnovers and getting into transition, that's when their offense begins to click. That's also where you can find easy shots. It's tough to come down every single time and face a set defense. Defenses now (in the Big Ten) scout you and know exactly what you're going to do. The Gophers can force you into bad areas where they can get some of those extra possessions off of turnovers. That's when they become a very good basketball team.
Q: Are there any similarities between Jim Dutcher and Tubby Smith?
A: Tubby is a very defensive-minded guy. But they are similar in the way they prepare their teams to win. They help you grow as young people — not only on the court but off the court. It wouldn't surprise me at all if (Smith) can win a (Big Ten) championship before he left here. I think he's on the right track. He understands how to put a solid team together.

Several big mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies will proceed through the courts this year, leaving a trail of dead or "zombie" brands behind them.
The company refinanced itself this year after this long list of troubles, as described by Bloomberg: "Avon has embarked on a turnaround plan after suffering through declining sales, a bribery investigation and other problems.
It hired new CEO Sheri McCoy last April and has begun to slash costs, hoping to save $400 million in three years, cut its dividend, laid off workers and exited some less profitable markets like Vietnam and South Korea." It's not out of the woods yet. Photo: Alsis, Flickr

England Regional Conference
Saint Anselm College
April 9, 2005
In April 2005, Saint Anselm College's History Department hosted the Phi Alpha Theta New England Regional Conference. Organized by Professor Perrone, the conference hosted students from colleges throughout the region. Students delivered papers on a wide variety of topics, from Roman mosaics to the construction of the Cape Cod Canal.
Three students represented Saint Anselm College at the conference: Aaron Grant, Ainé O'Mahoney, and Teddy Howland. All proved their mettle, winning awards for delivering the best paper in each of their panels.
Look below for a gallery of highlights from the conference.
Aaron Grant (left) vigorously defends his paper, "The Ideological Success of the Darien Venture." Ainé O'Mahoney (right) carefully listens to the commentator's observations concerning her paper, "'Just Make It Go Away': President William Jefferson Clinton and the Rwanda Genocide."
Professor Hugh Dubrulle (left) vainly grasps for a profound thought as he offers comments for the panel "World War II and the Holocaust." Teddy Howland (right) comes up with another knockout performance as he discusses "The Role of Political Cartoons in Communicating the Reasons for British Entry into World War One."
In his luncheon address, "What Do Historians Want? (Besides a Free Lunch)," Professor Phil Pajakowski uses Jan Vermeer's "The Art of Painting," to make pithy and apposite comparisons between the work of artists and historians.
The students who won prizes for delivering the best paper on their panel accept the plaudits of spectators. From left to right: Aaron Grant (Saint Anselm College), Áine O'Mahoney (Saint Anselm College), Jennifer Ibanez (Eastern Nazarene College), Kellyann Williams (Framingham State College), Heather Warmuth (Eastern Nazarene College), and Teddy Howland (Saint Anselm College).

Tree spotting in Yorkshire
Yorkshire can lay claim to being one of the UK's richest and most diverse tree counties. Some of the best examples can be found at National Trust places around the region - whether they're the biggest, oldest or stars of the small screen. Here's some to look out for on your next visit.
Brimham's photogenic rowan tree
One of the most distinctive trees at Brimham Rocks is a rowan growing at a jaunty angle out of the 320 million year old rock formations known as Castle Rocks. Seek it out on your next visit for a great photo opportunity.
Beningbrough's amazing survivor
Beningbrough Hall, Gallery and Gardens boasts at least four champion trees and some with historical significance too. One of our favourites, though, is this beautiful old oak. It bears an enormous scar from a lightning strike, but lived to tell the tale.
Follow the Beningbrough tree trail
Hardcastle Crags' TV star
BBC series Death Comes To Pemberley was filmed on location at Hardcastle Crags, Fountains Abbey and Treasurer's House. Can you find this tree trunk carving which featured in the series?
East Riddlesden's gentle giant
East Riddlesden Hall is home to oak, walnut and lime trees, but it is an example of the latter that has become a focal point for visitors. Standing tall and proud in the centre of the wild garden, a bench has been built around it where people are encouraged to sit, take a step back from their hectic everyday lives and listen to nature.
Take time out at East Riddlesden Hall
The cherry on top at Fountains Abbey
The wild cherry could be the oldest of its kind. It's unfortunately shed much of its crown, but is still a monstrous specimen. The cherry is currently trying to 'layer,' and if its lowest branch does make contact with the ground and puts down roots, then the tree could grow on for several more centuries.
Fountains Abbey is home to many other ancient trees including some quirky oaks with windows cut into their hollow trunks. It's not known when or why these were created, but the end result is enchanting.

Fossilised trees at Marsden Moor
After the last ice age 10,000 years ago, forests of pine, oak and birch covered this area. About 7,000 years ago the climate cooled and became wetter and the trees either died or were felled by man and peat began to form.
It now covers much of Marsden Moor and in some places where it has degraded and eroded, the preserved remains of trees can still be found under the peat.
Nunnington's wishing tree
Visitors have created a wishing tree in the orchard by tying hundreds of coloured ribbons to a golden pippin apple tree. The practice of tying pieces of cloth to trees has long been associated with wishing. In Scotland and Ireland they are known as 'Clootie Wells.' In Cornwall wishing trees are traditionally linked to healing. As the cloth on the tree rotted with time, so your ailment would gradually heal. Visitors to Nunnington are encouraged to make wishes, with many returning year after year to perform the ritual.

Invited to Follow
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi (also known as Matthew) sitting at his tax booth. "Follow me," Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed Him. – (Luke 5:27-28)
There are several really remarkable steps to Matthew's story. First, he was a tax collector, and therefore, no friend to the Jews. Additionally, his position had likely been a very lucrative one for him, yet at Jesus' invitation, he willingly walked away from it all, to faithfully follow Him. Even more than Matthew's willingness to leave his life of luxury behind, He desperately wanted others to discover what he had found in Christ, so he held a great banquet, inviting all his friends, so that they too, might meet Jesus and choose to follow Him. Matthew laid down his material possessions to gain spiritual wealth, as he was overjoyed to be associated with Jesus.
Each of us has a story; a moment in time when we heard Him whisper an invitation to come and follow Him. What have we set aside to serve Him? Do we go out of our way to share the joy that we have found with those whom we care most about? May our stories each include passion, promise, and pride in He who grants us new life, as we willingly set aside whatever He asks, and choose to follow Him with all that we are.
and calls us by name;
what will we lay down?
Money? Fortune? Fame?
Where He asks we go,
requires us move;
giant steps of faith,
our fears He'll remove.
All trust is needed,
as are faithful steps;
when we go in peace,
we're His righteous reps.
Help our hearts let go,
of temporal things;
and to You, Lord God,
we forever cling.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the remarkable examples of men and women that have gone before us, that willingly walked away from what was comfortable and known, into the unknown, as they trusted in You. Thank You that the benefits far outweigh the burdens for all of eternity, no matter what the cost seems to be in the here and now. Forgive us for our hesitation when we hear You call, and help us to move immediately, just as Matthew did. May our willing obedience be a blessing to all whom we encounter, and may many come to know of Your loving kindness as a result. Help us to love as You love us, and keep our hearts tender to hear from You. Be glorified, O God, as we faithfully follow You. Amen.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. – Nehemiah 8:10
An Attitude Adjustment
Though the story of Peter being called to go and share the good news in the home of Cornelius has an overarching theme that the gospel is for everyone, the thing that struck me as I read the account in Acts this morning, was Peter's attitude adjustment, in such a short time.
Back in Matthew 18:1-6, as the disciples were traveling with Jesus, and learning and growing beside Him as He led them, they were arguing one day, about which among them would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Somehow, in all of the attention, their priorities had become askew. Jesus quickly set the record straight, "And He said: 'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child will be greatest in the kingdom of heaven." -(Matthew 18:3-4)
Fast forward past Christ's crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and the impartation of the Holy Spirit. While in Joppa, Peter had been assured in a vision that he was to go to the home of Cornelius, to share the good news of Christ. He willingly went with the men Cornelius had sent, when they had arrived to lead him. "As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. But Peter made him get up. 'Stand up,' he said, 'I am only a man myself." – (Acts 10:25-26) Peter was quick to humble himself and point Cornelius to Christ. Despite the potential draw of being adored by such a powerful person, Peter prioritized the presentation of truth, and maintained his position of humility as a servant of Christ. Because of Peter's willing submission to God's call, Cornelius and his entire household came to Christ. Being a man of high position, I imagine Cornelius had a tremendous impact on many people.
allow the Lord lead;
be willing to give,
as we see a need.
Trust Him to show us,
what we're meant to do;
listen to His voice,
faithfully pursue.
Seek not position,
of honor, nor fame;
and if it's given,
point straight to His Name.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our Source and Supply, and the reason we are able to do anything good in this life. Thank You for such great examples of change, as You show us how to be more like Christ in what we say and do. Forgive us for not walking in humility, or for not giving credit where credit is due. Thank You that all good that we do, is done in Your strength, and that the life You are calling us to, is only possible in You. May we be invested in You, so that Your light shines through us. May many come to see Your light through our love, and ultimately, come into a lasting relationship with You. Be exalted, our great and mighty God. Amen.

Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; … my hope is in You all day long.
– Psalm 25:4-5
Son of Man via Days of Praise
"And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle." (Revelation 14:14)
This is the last of some 87 New Testament references (84 in the four gospels, one in Acts, none in the epistles, two in Revelation) to Christ as the Son of man. Here we see the Son of man coming on a white cloud from heaven (just as He had ascended into heaven after His resurrection) as the conquering King of all the earth.
What a contrast is this to the first New Testament reference to the Son of man. "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head" (Matthew 8:20). From humility and poverty on Earth to power and riches in heaven, and for all eternity—this was His journey when Christ left His heavenly glory to join the human family.
In between the poverty and the power lay the whole human experience, for He "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). Finally, as Son of man He must die for man's sin, for "the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again" (Luke 24:7). Even in heaven He is still the Son of man, for Stephen saw Him thus: "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God" (Acts 7:56).
There is, indeed, a great man in the glory! Christ called Himself "the Son of man" much more often than "the Son of God," though He will eternally be both, the God/man. He delights to identify with those whom He has redeemed, for He "is not ashamed to call them brethren" (Hebrews 2:11). "Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?" asked Jesus. Then we say, with Peter, "Thou art . . . the Son of the living God" (Matthew16:13, 16). HMM
