For Immediate Release
Two Exhibitions on View December 17, 2010 March 27, 2011 at the Gibbes
Art of Our Time: Selections from the Ulrich Museum of Art in the Main Gallery and J. Henry Fair: Industrial Scars in the Rotunda Galleries
(September 15, 2010 - Charleston, SC) The Gibbes Museum of Art will present two new exhibitions beginning December 17, 2010. Art of Our Time: Selections from the Ulrich Museum of Art, organized by the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University, offers an overview of modern and contemporary art and features significant 20th and 21st century artists such as Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder, and Robert Motherwell. J. Henry Fair: Industrial Scars, organized by the Gibbes, showcases the artists arrestingly beautiful, large-scale aerial photographs that document environmental degradation caused by industrial processes.
Art of Our Time: Selections from the Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita State University, features works of major artistic accomplishment from the permanent collection of the Ulrich Museum. The Ulrich built a collection of rare distinction with more than 7,000 modern and contemporary works of art, and Art of Our Time includes over forty objects culled from this collection that showcases the art of our time.
This exhibition explores the sweep of artmaking over the past 100 years from Robert Henris 1917 painting Gregorita with the Santa Clara Bowl to Zhang Huans photo-documentation of his 2000 performance Family Tree, from the expressive strokes of Robert Motherwells 1976 Les Caves No. 2 to the digital animation of Jeremy Blakes 2001 video Mod Lang. In addition to paintings, photographs, and video, the collection includes sculptures, prints, and drawings that provide rich examples of such key artistic movements as early American modernism, abstract expressionism, pop, and minimalism. Photography is a particular collection strength of the Ulrich Museum, and stunning prints by Diane Arbus, Eugéne Atget, Edward Weston, Margaret Bourke-White, W. Eugene Smith, and Nan Goldin will be on view. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
Art of Our Time: Selections from the Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita State University is made possible through the generous support of Emprise Bank and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional sponsors include the Joan S. Beren Foundation, Edward and Helen Healy, Harry Pollak and Richard D. Smith, and Sondra M. Langel. Support has also been provided by Jon and Kelly Callen, Mike and Dee Michaelis, Jayne S. Milburn, Christine F. Paulsen-Polk, and the Wichita State University Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research.
The Gibbes exhibition is sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, the member auxiliary group Gibbes, etc., and Charleston magazine.

$15 for museum members and students and $25 for non-members (museum admission is included)
J. Henry Fair: Industrial Scars features the large-scale aerial photographs of Charleston native, J. Henry Fair. Drawn to sites where the land and waterways have been drastically changed by the effects of mining or manufacturing of coal, petroleum, fertilizer, and paper pulp, Fair captures brilliantly colored, abstract images that are at once aesthetically pleasing and intellectually unsettling. The vibrant colors, rich textures, and intriguing patterns that Fair presents are often reminiscent of the canvases of non-objective, modernist painters. Yet in reality, Fairs images are more journalistic in nature, where content is not sacrificed for the sake of aesthetics.
Though Fair photographs sites all over the world, this exhibition highlights images that Fair has taken of industrial sites in the southeastern United States over the last five years, including recent images of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
J. Henry Fair
Born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Fair adopted the camera as his medium at an early age. In 1980, he moved to New York and began a photography career becoming well-known for his portraits of musicians, singers, and other performers. His passion for conservation and the environment led Fair to co-found and direct the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) in South Salem, New York in 1999. WCC is an environmental organization that houses, protects and propagates wolves, and educates the public about the worlds many endangered wolf species. Fair has spent the past decade focusing on his Industrial Scars project. His first book, The Day After Tomorrow: Images of Our Earth in Crisis will be released in 2011.
J. Henry Fair: Industrial Scars is sponsored by U.S. Trust and Charleston magazine.

Iraq and Vietnam: A Crucial Difference in Opinion
While public opinion about the war in Iraq has followed a path not unlike that charted during the Vietnam War, one important disparity stands out: attitudes toward the military.
Foreign Policy: The Public Sends a Muddled Message
Opinion surveys find much in the way of public frustration, but little in the way of direction on the international and military front.
Iraq Policy Debate Dominates the News
In the second week of the new year (January 7-12) Iraq policy filled 34% of the overall newshole and was the top story in all five media sectors — newspapers, online, network TV, cable and radio.
Few Latinos Now Support the War in Iraq
Two out of every three Latinos now believe that U.S. troops should be brought home from Iraq as soon as possible and only one in four thinks the U.S. made the right decision in using military force, according to a new survey by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The Complicated Politics of Free Trade
Crafting effective U.S. trade policies in an era of rapid economic globalization is tough. But the politics of free trade are even tougher — particularly for Democrats, according to a recent national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Free Trade Agreements Get a Mixed Review
The American public continues to have a mixed opinion about free trade agreements such as NAFTA and the WTO. On balance they are seen as a good thing for the country, but Americans are divided over the impact of free trade agreements on their own personal financial situations.
Legislating International Religious Freedom
In a Pew Forum roundtable event, four experts discuss the wisdom and success of U.S. legislation that makes the promotion of religious freedom an explicit goal of America's foreign policy and ways to make that policy more effective.
God's Country?
In recent years, evangelicals have helped to put conservatives at the helm of U.S. foreign policy, while focusing their energies on a few issues including support for Israel and promotion of religious freedom abroad. Now, they are showing interest in global warming and other issues traditionally seen as liberal.
Iraq Looms Large in a Nationalized Election
A new poll finds dismay about U.S. military action in Iraq at its highest level since the war began and many voters say the issue will be primary in their ballot decisions come November. Resignation of Rep. Foley has little impact so far.
A Diminished Public Appetite for Military Force and Mideast Oil
Americans' views of the impact of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have changed little since 2001, but most no longer see an expanded U.S. military overseas as helpful.

The final "Supernatural" hold out has finally joined Twitter. Jensen Ackles or @Jensenackles, actor, director, husband and father is officially a member of the Twitter family.
Demon Dean was speculated to be one of the major villains on the tenth season of "Supernatural".
Actor Jensen Ackles provided some spoilers for what Demon Dean will be like in the series next season. In an interview with E! Online, Jensen Ackles spilled little information about the personality of the new Demon Dean. According to Ackles, Demon Dean will be a despicable being who does not care about anyone of anything and he loves being that way.
"It was a tough season for old Dean last year. He was going through a lot. I wanted to take all of that away, all the weight of the world, all the heavy, the guilt, all of that stuff, remove all of that, because Demon Dean does not care. That's kind of where I went with this character. He is Dean without a care in the world… It's not comedic, it's almost scarier. He cares so little for everything and everybody, and he loves it."
Being a villain next season emerged from the previous spoilers about Demon Dean being a menace. His brother, Sam, will chase after him and will try hard to find a cure for the current state of his brother. Moreover, the puzzling role of Mark of Cain makes Demon Dean more dangerous.
Dean was transformed into a demon at the end of season nine finale of "Supernatural," and he will remain a demon at least for the first few episodes of the upcoming season.
Jensen Ackles, who essays the character of Dean, said that his character is going to have a tough time coping with his transformation, and described Dean's mental state as sad and a bit scary.
"It's like the guy at the party who doesn't want the party to be over," Ackles explained backstage at Comic-Con, reported Digital Spy. "He just keeps drinking and keeps making an ass of himself, and he doesn't care that his friends have all left and the music's died.
"It's a little sad, and a little scary, because of what he's capable of. Out of three days of filming last week, demon Dean had four fight sequences," Ackles added.

The Zero Carbon Australia Land Use report can be downloaded here
Agriculture and forestry activities cover most of Australia, but increasingly, no longer our national consciousness. With most of our population now living in the cities, the remainder of the continent is often forgotten. The vast space between our coastlines is not empty, however. In fact most of it is farmed and managed for a wide variety of commercial purposes.
Beyond Zero Emissions has been working for several years on a major research project to look at reducing greenhouse emissions from the Land Use sector — agriculture and forestry. The result, released this week, is the Zero Carbon Australia Land Use Report.
The report shows a surprisingly high emissions profile for the Land Use sector, a sector that will be most impacted by climate change. But well-understood and already widely practiced strategies can move the sector a long distance towards the goal of zero emissions, helping to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
The research proceeded from an initial investigation into where emissions in the sector come from, and at what magnitude. It turns out that various activities on the land including farming, forestry, and land-clearing, account for a huge proportion of our national emissions. This is masked in our national accounts, which splits the sector and offsets its emissions against reductions from revegetation of land.
By including all emissions from farming and land-clearing for agriculture, we derived a figure of 33 per cent of Australia's annual emissions coming from land use practices.
The largest contributor was land clearing and re-clearing, followed by enteric fermentation (the production of methane by ruminant animals' digestive systems, mainly cattle and sheep).
The report also found that carbon stocks in native forests are systematically underestimated by a factor of up to four or five, so that the climate impact of native forest logging is much higher than previously thought. If the report had been able to include an adequate appraisal of emissions from clearfell logging, total land use emissions would be higher still.

IT could be faster than flying, good for the environment and be our next great "nation-building exercise". But does Australia have the wherewithal to make an idea as big and expensive as high-speed rail a reality?
Climate change think tank Beyond Zero Emissions will present a report in Brisbane tonight that advocates for Australia to take up this major infrastructure challenge.
Its research finds that a high-speed rail network on Australia's east coast could be built for $30 billion less than previous projections and the system would be faster, cheaper and cleaner than air travel.

By Stephen Bygrave. From Climate Spectator, July 22 2014.
With the amount of rhetoric flying around regarding electricity bills and energy in recent years, you'd be hard pressed to find any points of clarity amongst the noise. For the average punter with little knowledge about energy and politics, the public discussion is bewildering, however much their electricity bill may concern them.
Let's take a selection of assertions that have been made in the "expert" and partisan commentary on the energy market to illustrate some of these points:
However, it's the simple truths that manage to cut through all the noise.
One simple truth is that renewable energy has led to lower wholesale electricity prices. This occurs due to a well-researched (but little reported) dynamic in energy markets known as the Merit Order Effect (see this video that explains it clearly). Perhaps the reason it hasn't caught on is because there's little or no evidence that lower wholesale prices have been passed on to consumers in the form of lower energy bills. Certainly, there has been little reporting of the effect.
We have on the other hand seen many (misleading) appeals to a supposed public good, blaming solar homeowners for everyone else's rising electricity prices.
All this hasn't stemmed the flood of homes embracing solar. There's well over a million households in Australia now generating their own solar electricity.
Now, as gas bills begin a sharp climb that could emulate the previous rise in electricity bills, those solar panels on your neighbours' house will look even more enticing.
Climate solutions think-tank Beyond Zero Emissions welcomes news that power company Alinta will pursue a solar-thermal "power tower" to replace its ageing coal power stations at Port Augusta in South Australia.
Alinta announced today that its preferred option is a 50 megawatt plant that can store enough solar energy (as heat) to run for 15 hours at night.
Beyond Zero Emissions published a high-level study in 2012 into solar-thermal options for Port Augusta and helped locals launch a campaign to replace the town's coal power stations.
BZE's CEO Stephen Bygrave said the news is a great win for solar.
"This new technology that can supply clean solar power at night will revolutionise our energy supply, and as I've said, that it's inevitable it will be built in Australia. Now the race is on to see which state, and which town, will see the first power tower built", Mr Bygrave said.
"Port Augusta just pulled ahead in that race. I congratulate the people of Port Augusta and all the groups that have supported this campaign for sticking it out and keeping the solar-thermal with storage option on the table. "
Image from Repower Port Augusta.
"Alinta are to be congratulated for seeing the value in expanding renewables.
"This progress has been made possible by the existence of the Federal body ARENA [Australian Renewable Energy Agency], which provides funds for these feasibility studies.
"As the residents of Port Augusta know, it's crucial that we keep such support bodies to make a smooth transition to the power of the future.
"We hope that ARENA is able to continue funding this vital work, and that the Renewable Energy Target and Clean Energy Finance Corporation can then help fund the construction of Australia's first baseload solar power station.
"These institutions have been criticised by some recently, but this shows once again that the future lies with renewable energy and we ought to support it."
Beyond Zero Emissions' 2012 study on Port Augusta complements the research organisation's series of Zero Carbon Australia plans, published in conjunction with The University of Melbourne, that shows how Australia can move to 100% renewable energy in ten years with the political will to do so.
Stephen Bygrave, June 2014
Recent news from the US shows how threadbare the fossil fuel industry is becoming.
First, the new wave of "unconventional" fossil fuel extraction has had a significant upset, as the previously hyped Californian shale oil field has had its estimated size cut by an incredible 96%, casting doubt on the truth of worldwide unconventional oil and gas reserves, as the creatively named shortlink bit.ly/gasponzischeme suggests (click to read the article in The Guardian).
We've seen this echoed here in Australia with Deutsche Bank and now HSBC deciding not to fund the Abbott Point coal terminal.
Investment group Barclays have downgraded the entire US electric utility industry. Why? Here's what they had to say:
"Over the next few years... we believe that a confluence of declining cost trends in distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation and residential-scale power storage is likely to disrupt the status quo... We believe that solar + storage could reconfigure the organization and regulation of the electric power business over the coming decade."
By Jon Fairall. The Saturday Paper, Jun 7, 2014.
The case for fast trains has never been stronger, and inaction just drives the cost higher.
The engineering think tank Beyond Zero Emissions recently released a report on the construction of a high-speed railway. The project's leader, Gerard Drew, told a meeting in Sydney that on his scheme the Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne corridor would be linked by 2030 with trains running at 350km/h and possibly faster.
The study proved such a project could be justified. More importantly, perhaps, it demonstrated it could be financially viable. "High speed rail would halve air travel," says the group's chief executive officer, Stephen Bygrave. "It's faster, more convenient and it will make a profit."
On the basis of overseas experience, the study team estimated that, if the line was built by 2030, 65 per cent of people travelling Brisbane–Sydney or Sydney–Melbourne would use the train. Given current projections of the growth of traffic along the corridor, that implies about 68 million passengers a year.
Beyond Zero Emissions has conducted the second launch of its High Speed Rail report, this time on the evening of 30 April in Sydney. The launch was co-hosted by the Institute of Environmental Studies (IES) at the University of New South Wales. There were over 200 attendees with a packed lecture theatre, and 12 volunteers from the BZE NSW team did a fantastic job running the event.
You can download an MP3 audio file of the launch here.

BZE's Stephen Bygrave writes:
As one of the architects of the Renewable Energy Target in the late 1990s, it is revealing to see yet another government review of one of the most successful climate policies in the past 2 decades. This review follows an earlier one conducted only months ago by the Climate Change Authority.
So why another? Is it part of a plan to protect the status quo energy companies, and protect their business models that are rapidly becoming outdated?
The renewable energy target, introduced by the Howard government after the Kyoto negotiations in late 1997, was then a key element of the governments climate change platform to grow the renewable energy sector in Australia. It was arguably the strongest climate change initiative of those introduced by the government at the time, in addition to the establishment of the Australian Greenhouse Office, the world's first government agency dedicated to tackling climate change.

IMAGINE boarding a train at Brisbane's Roma Street at 9am and getting off at Sydney's Central Station at noon.
Imagine living near the beach on the Gold Coast and commuting to work in Brisbane's CBD within 20 minutes.
Both could be a reality in little more than a decade, according to a new report which says high speed rail is not only achievable and affordable, but essential to Australia's future.
Detailed research by Melbourne University's Energy Institute, think-tank Beyond Zero Emissions and the German Aerospace Center, concludes that a 1799km network linking Brisbane and the Gold Coast to Sydney and Melbourne could be operating by 2025.
"This is a faster, better, cleaner cheaper and more convenient form of travel. It is vital to Australia's future," Beyond Zero Emissions CEO Stephen Bygrave said.
By Damien Larkins and Bern Young, ABC Gold Coast.
Travelling from the Gold Coast to Brisbane in just 20 minutes could be a reality by the year 2025, researchers say.
A report from University of Melbourne's Energy Institute Energy Institute says an $84 billion high speed rail (HSR) network along Australia's east coast is the answer.
Australian think tank Beyond Zero Emissions, a part of the energy institute, says HSR is a clean, more efficient and faster way to travel.
Beyond Zero Emissions chief executive Dr Stephen Bygrave says existing networks in countries like Germany, Japan and China are already leading the way.
"It's an idea in Australia, but when you go overseas you see that this is actually a very real technology, a very real prospect," he said.
"The potential in Australia is huge, we're just not making the most of our potential."

I often look at someone's art and wonder who inspired them to quilt, embroider, and stitch. Did they start by hand sewing or go straight to the machine?
Deborah Boschert
Today I'd like to give you some insight into Deborah Boschert. Deborah describes herself as an art quilter, coffee drinker, crossword puzzle lover, wife, and mom. That tells you a lot about her already! In her art, she combines unexpected materials like worn-out denims with bits of brocade and heavy free-motion quilting. In her small art quilts, she often incorporates symbols for growth, identity, balance, and exploration. Recently on Quilting Daily, Deborah offered her hand embroidery tips for contemporary fabric collage. Today, I'm sharing a little Q&A with Deborah on hand stitching that originally appeared in In Stitches Vol. 2.
Whose needlecraft (hand or machine) do you particularly admire/with whom would you like to take a stitch class? My great grandmother, Mabel, did wonderful needlework: cross stitch, weaving, needlepoint, and so many other amazing things with fiber. There didn't seem to be a technique she hadn't mastered. I suspect she could have taught me so much about techniques and materials, but also about living a creative life. I treasure the pieces of her art that have been passed down to me including a cross stitch sampler she made to celebrate my birth, macramé place mats, and a woven handbag.
"Plentiful" fabric collage with hand stitchingby Deborah Boschert.
What is your favorite type of stitching?
I really like combining free-motion quilting with hand embroidery motifs. Sometimes it's challenging to find the right balance between the two. (Should I hand stitch over machine stitching? Or the other way around? And which should I do first?) When done effectively, I think they complement each other quite well.
What is your must-have stitching tool or supply?
My friend made me a little tool box out of a metal gift card tin. There is a square of felt that keeps beads from rolling away if I'm embellishing. It also holds a few strands of floss and a tiny pair of scissors. Plus, there is a magnet in the lid that holds pins and needles. It's so compact and handy!Deborah demonstrates her fabric collage and hand sewing techniques in her new Quilting Arts WorkshopTM video, Contemporary Fabric Collage: Design, Stitch, and Finish, available now.P.S. What's your must-have stitching tool or supply? Reveal it in the comments section below.
There are a lot of "must-haves" but life as a sewing enthusiast has been a lot more pleasant since I put an OTT bulb in my swingarm/task lamp. My eyes say "ahhhh".
Since I use a needle threader (Clover) handsewing is so much more fun.
"My friend made me a little tool box out of a metal gift card tin. There is a square of felt that keeps beads from rolling away if I'm embellishing. It also holds a few strands of floss and a tiny pair of scissors. Plus, there is a magnet in the lid that holds pins and needles. It's so compact and handy!"
I've been trying to think how to keep a small supply of beads truly handy when I try to hand sew on the couch and also how to improve my quick-access needle system (strips of fabric dangling above my work area).
I read this and realized the tool box solves both problems AND everything I need to make one is within two steps of my computer! The various needle sizes and types are a LOT easier to identify on the magnet strips and I am delighted to throw my raggy strips of fabric away.
I think I'll go a whole extra ten minutes on this and make a good fit of a hemmed bit of off white organic cotton flannel (perfect sized scrap all handy) before gluing it in. I think my stick of UHU should do fine.
one of my favorite tools is a window gel cling to hold onto my beads as I attach them for embellishments. with a vvide variety of colors for contrast, it makes small beads easier to see.
I'd like to share my top three so far. I love, love my angled tweezers for guiding fabric as I sew, pulling that top thread through from the needle threader and picking out stitching. I also have a great little bag I found at Winners that zips almost flat open with a centre section and two zippered side pockets. It's great to bring hand sewing down from my studio so I can work in front of the TV. Keeps everything together instead of juggling all the parts and pieces I need. Lastly, back in front of the TV, my neighbour gave me an oversized TV table that has height adjustment and the legs slide in under my comfy chair. The tray has a lip so beads, pins & needles don't roll off. Can't tell you how many times I've been on my knees searching for escaped items. I'm a happy quilter!

A one-tonne Cuvier's beaked whale beached itself on the shore of Libong island off the coast of Trang province on Sunday morning. It managed to return to open waters with the help of local fishermen and villagers.
Prachuap Mokarat, director of the Marine and Coastal Resources Conservation Centre 6, said the six-metre whale was spotted by a group of fishermen who tried to push it back into deep water. The whale appeared weak and had minor wounds on its body.
A team of rescuers from the centre later came to the rescue. They fed and gave medicine to the whale before it was able to return to the sea, much to the delight of whale watching tourists and villagers.
Mr Prachuap said coastal personnel will keep an eye on the beach to prevent whales from becoming stranded in the future.

I am a caring, genuine and ambitious guy. I really enjoy my life and am looking for the right person to share it with. Here is a little bit about me...
I grew up in New York and moved to Philadelphia for work. I am a pediatric gastroenterologist and really enjoy being able to help children and their families. Working with children is very rewarding and I'm glad to have an opportunity to make a positive impact early in a patient's life.
I work hard but also value my time outside of the hospital. Food is a major area of interest of mine. I love to cook. While I have many dishes that have been successful and become standards, I also enjoy experimenting in the kitchen based things found at a farmer's market, dishes seen on tv or tried in a restaurant. Brunch is a favorite meal of mine. I always try new restaurants and am always researching the best of different dishes and willing to travel to do so. Friends are always consulting me on the best restaurants to go to when they travel.
I also follow all sports very closely. I enjoy both watching and attending sports events. Baseball is my favorite during Spring and Summer and during Fall/ Winter spending my Sunday's watching the NFL action I grew up playing tennis and am always looking for someone to play with
I like joking around and enjoy making people laugh. My humor is mostly dry but at times tell some over the top jokes. Comedians I enjoy include Mitch Hedberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Aziz Ansari and George Carlin and Zach Galifianakis. At what age is it appropriate age to tell a highway that it's adopted? I like escalators because they never break, they just become stairs. I am addicted to cold turkey but I am not sure how to quit.
I am very close to my family and enjoy going back to New York to visit them. I love the beach and during the summer enjoy relaxing at my family's house in the Hamptons.
I love to travel. I have visited England, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Caribbean, France and Turkey. Some of those of visits were part of programs and stayed for over a month. Now that I am done with residency and fellowship, I am looking forward to have more time to plan interesting trips. The next trip that I would hope to make would be somewhere in Asia
I am looking to bring someone into my life that I can share my passions for travel, food, sports, and music. If you enjoy trying new things that would be a plus. I go out way to make everyone in my life happy and treat everyone the way I would like to be treated.
If you think we may be a good fit I'd love to hear from you.

Logging and burning of tropical forests creates about 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than that emitted from all thecars, planes, and trains in the world. But countries in South America,Africa and the Pacific do not have enough of their own money to protect these large tracts of tropical forests. The forests keep the climate in balance. More on forests
Greenpeace doesn't want forests to become a way for "cheaters" to meet their greenhouse gas emissions targets. We want them to clean up their energy sector and their industry as part of their commitment.
The Greenpeace Forests for Climate proposal outlines how governments can protect forests and how developed countries can cut CO2 at home. Forests for Climate lets developed countries meet overall targets and provides fair and accountable way to fund global forest protection.

Dortmund rally from 3-0 down to win; Athletic Bilbao lose in Europa League
Borussia Dortmund rallied from a shocking three-goal deficit to win 4-3 at Odd Grenland in the Europa League playoff round first leg on Thursday.
Jone Samuelsen scored after just 13 seconds for the Norweigan side, with Fredrik Nordkvelle doubling the advantage on 19 minutes.
A free kick by Espen Ruud three minutes later gave Odd a 3-0 lead before Dortmund -- playing without star Marco Reus -- were able to regroup.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started the comeback by scoring on a rebound in the 34th...

12 U.S. Code § 1831z - Bi-annual FDIC survey and report on encouraging use of depository institutions by the unbanked
(a) Survey required
(1) In general
The Corporation shall conduct a bi-annual survey on efforts by insured depository institutions to bring those individuals and families who have rarely, if ever, held a checking account, a savings account or other type of transaction or check cashing account at an insured depository institution (hereafter in this section referred to as the "unbanked") into the conventional finance system.
(2) Factors and questions to consider
In conducting the survey, the Corporation shall take the following factors and questions into account:
(A) To what extent do insured depository institutions promote financial education and financial literacy outreach?
(B) Which financial education efforts appear to be the most effective in bringing "unbanked" individuals and families into the conventional finance system?
(C) What efforts are insured institutions making at converting "unbanked" money order, wire transfer, and international remittance customers into conventional account holders?
(D) What cultural, language and identification issues as well as transaction costs appear to most prevent "unbanked" individuals from establishing conventional accounts?
(b) Reports
The Chairperson of the Board of Directors shall submit a bi-annual report to the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate containing the Corporation's findings and conclusions with respect to the survey conducted pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, together with such recommendations for legislative or administrative action as the Chairperson may determine to be appropriate.

Meet Alyssa Winkler
Wildlife resources junior Alyssa Winkler believes in taking full advantage of the hands-on experiential learning opportunities presented to her at CNR. Honor student and president of the University of Idaho Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society, she advises other students to "just get involved in all the things there are to do, just apply. You learn so much more."
She has followed her own advice. Last summer Alyssa was a DeVlieg Undergraduate Research Scholar at UI's Taylor Wilderness Research Station in the Frank Church-River-of-No-Return Wilderness. Her project, which looked at species use of different habitat types under different weather conditions, taught her a lot. "It's the experience of working through the problems you encounter in doing research that helps you become a better wildlife researcher," she said.
This summer she will further develop her research skills by conducting daily bird and bat mortality surveys for a new wind farm near Rosalia, Washington. "They are trying to figure out the mortality rate for different species—to see if there is anything they can do to mitigate it," she explained. As part of her research she will also be doing daily observations—watching to see which birds are in the area and how they are reacting to the wind turbines.
Originally from the small town of Ravensdale, Washington, Alyssa grew up hunting and fishing with her father. She knew she wanted to study wildlife and learned about the program at UI from her high school counselor. She visited the school two weeks after first learning about it, met Kerry Reese, professor and head of the wildlife department, and knew that UI was the right place for her. She thought, "This place is really great, there's no place like it in Washington State. If I'm going to do this, I want to go to a place that's really known for it."
The hands-on experiences available through CNR have opened Alyssa's eyes to new career possibilities. "You get to meet real people that are going out and doing what you want to do," she said.
She sees herself doing behavioral research on species with complex social systems, to learn how they develop social hierarchies. "I didn't see myself doing research when I first started," Alyssa said. "I thought I would just be a conservation officer. I didn't know that there was more to studying animals than just protecting them."
Club opportunities have also enriched her experience. Members of the Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society have worked with Friends of the Clearwater, assisted at fishing derbies and helped the Idaho Fish and Game Department with hunter check stations. This spring they will volunteer on a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife project to restore Palouse Prairie near Sprague, Washington. Students and other volunteers will be planting trees and shrubs, weeding, repairing fences, mowing and helping with general maintenance as part of the restoration effort.

For lovers of sushi bars (like me!), a sushi restaurant with a dining room consisting entirely of counter space would indeed be a glimpse of heaven. Sushi could be the ultimate counter food: you sit, you order a few things and watch them be made by chefs whose skills can seem quite magical, and once you've eaten them, you order some more. It's an incremental way of having dinner that amounts to a pleasant loosening of the usual Western pattern, in which everything (except possibly dessert) is ordered at once and then starts arriving in a bell-curve parade, beginning with modest nibbles and starters before proceeding to the great wallop of the main dish. There are no second acts in this ritual, and sushi is particularly ill-suited to it; I have long found it uncomfortable to sit stiffly at a distant table, waiting for a sushi dinner to be brought over an attenuated supply line from an unseen kitchen. One feels far away and awkward, like a step-diner.
Given the appeal, not to mention fundamental logic, of the multistage, sushi-bar dinner, a haunting question is why someone didn't think to open a place like Domo years ago. Domo, the sushi restaurant that thinks it's a sushi bar, opened in the spring under the auspices of Luke and Kitty Sung, of Isa in Cow Hollow. The new restaurant sits on a cozy stretch of Laguna Street in Hayes Valley, with Momi Toby's Revolution Café across the street and the clamorous Il Borgo at the corner. Inside it's even cozier: much of the tight space is lined with counter, and I noticed only one table. Domo is almost like a sushi kiosk (maybe at an airport or baseball park in some foofy city) that was given growth hormone. It's a masterful idea with some eccentricities.
Part of the trouble is ergonomic. The stools are rather high, and there is an unsettling sense of being perched above things. Also, since all the restaurant's patrons are facing outward, whether to window glass or walls or, in the case of a small group of the elect, the chefs themselves the plates of food must continually be presented over this or that hyperelevated shoulder. The serving staff simply doesn't have easy access to the counters if the restaurant is full, which, because it's so small, it often seems to be.
The food, fortunately, is quite good, in that urban-hipster-sushi way. You have your edamame ($3.50), your seaweed salad ($3.95) with its nicely balancing vinaigrette, your rolls with clever names, some familiar and some not. Spider roll ($8.95) seldom disappoints, and it didn't here, with its star of soft-shell crab in tempura, along with shiso, cucumber, tobiko, avocado, and daikon sprouts. All the rolls were satisfying, whether they were old standards or young whippersnappers. One of the youngsters didn't even look like a roll: Fire Cracker Balls ($9.95), which consisted of rounds of spicy tuna rolled in panko (the coarse Japanese-style bread crumbs). They were advertised as spicy-hot and were indeed also a little dry, despite spicy mayo and unagi sauce.
Even hotter was a jalapeño-hamachi roll ($5.50), a simple and direct beam of chili power. But Spicy Hulk ($9.95), despite a formidable name, was cooled by wrappings of cucumber strips instead of the usual nori; inside lay spicy tuna, avocado, and tobiko, with a sauce like Bloody Mary mix drizzled over the top. One of our party liked this potion so much he poured the remainder into an empty wine glass and drank it as a constitutional.
For sheer heft, look to the Domo roll ($11.50), a California roll (of crab meat and avocado) baked under a roof of salmon slices and scallops, sauced with barbecue unagi glaze and spicy mayo, and festooned with tobiko and scallions. Overkill? Maybe a little, but every menu needs at least one item with true filling power.

My current favorite video!
A fter moving to Rochester from the DC area in 2012, I decided to make the jump and start my own business, and HouseTwelve Media was founded! My career began with a small firm where I originally worked as a graphic designer. When the firm added video production to their services, I began editing video, and discovered my true calling!
I strive to capture the uniqueness of each couple and each wedding, the genuine emotions, joy and spirit of one special day in your life…all in a beautiful, creative, fun, and sometimes off-beat video.
Although most of my work is corporate, I am honored when couples include me in their wedding day. The best part of being a wedding videographer is the creative and emotional aspect that is often missing from my corporate work. Being able to deliver a video that surpasses their expectations is what my job is all about. I like to work closely with my couples, to get to know them and what they envision for their wedding day–and video. If you're not sure what you're looking for exactly, I'd love to meet with you so we can figure it out together!
You have a lot of options when it comes to your wedding or event videography! It's important to find somebody you click with, who specializes in the style of video you are looking for, and is within your budget.

Conejo Oaks expand their recruiting field
The Conejo Oaks Baseball Club has added some geographical diversity to its roster this season.
Normally stocked with players from only Southern California, the Oaks will feature players from Hawaii, Colorado and Texas.
The team was able to secure local host families to ensure the out-of-state players could afford to spend the season in Thousand Oaks.
Oaks manager David Soliz is hoping the mix of local and national in the dugout will lead to more success on the field.
"It's kind of a nice touch and it obviously adds to us being able to branch out a little bit and bring in some more Division I players," Soliz said. "Having a bigger pool of talented players hopefully can make us even more competitive and help us win more games."
The Oaks (3-0) opened their season over the weekend with victories over East L.A. and the SoCal Angels.
They begin California Collegiate League play on Wednesday by hosting the San Luis Obispo Blues at 5 p.m. at Cal Lutheran's Sparky Anderson Field.
Although there are a few out-of-state players in the lineup, the bulk of the roster remains stocked with locals.
Fresh off his CIF-Southern Section championship, Newbury Park High right-hander Luke Eubanks is scheduled to be a part of the pitching staff.
Cody Kurz (St. Bonaventure, Oxnard College), Jacob Mahan (Camarillo), Jordan Brower (Newbury Park) and Kevin Minjares (Camarillo, Oxnard College) are a few of the other county products.
The Oaks roster will remain a bit in flux because some players could be drafted this week and sign to play professional baseball.
In his second season as manager, Soliz is growing more comfortable with his expanded role and responsibilities.
"The biggest thing has been learning how to manage a larger roster. That was something that was a bit of a challenge," he said. "We've cut back on our middle infielders from six to four so guys could get more regular playing time. At the same time, we added more pitchers so guys could get more regular mound time without running them out there too long."
Soliz plans to keep in touch with each player's college coaches on a more regular basis this season.
"I want to report to them at least once a week to let them know how their players are doing. I don't want coaches out of the loop because they are sending them here so they can improve," Soliz said. "I want them to have an idea what is going on so I may shoot them a text or an email if a kid has a good night."
The open lines of communication may not just benefit both parties in the present, but in the future as well.
"If we create a good environment to where kids go back to school and tells the coach he had an opportunity to get better it's helps everyone," Soliz said. "If they have a good experience, the coaches will be more comfortable sending more players here."
The Oaks will be facing a challenging schedule that provides a glimpse of life in the minor leagues with games nearly every day.
The Oaks finished 25-21 overall last season and placed fourth in the CCL with a 19-20 record.
The Santa Barbara Foresters were co-CCL champions last season — their 17th CCL title in 18 years — and went on to win their third National Baseball Congress World Series title in five years.
"We split with them last year, so we know we can play with that caliber of a team," Soliz said. "Our goal is to get them better, win league and go to the NBC World Series. To accomplish that, guys know they can't take a day off. They have to be ready to play every day."

Namco-Bandai's super scary looking arcade shooter that rewards the braver players among us will get a release stateside.
Dark Escape 4D will reach arcades in the United States, according to Arcade Heroes. Namco Bandai announced the game's pending US release by releasing a new trailer that reveals some new details about the 3D sensory horror shooter.
The game pits two players against each other in a dark and sinister looking horror style shooter, but the true winner isn't the person who scores the most hits or blows away the most monsters. The game can also monitor players' heart rates and the number of times they jump or panic through the game. The person with the fewest panics wins the round.
The experience takes place in a fully enclosed booth. Players don a pair of 3D glasses as they shoot at the things that jump at them on the screen. The game consists of four stages, each based on a different phobia, and a super secret (and presumably super scary) final stage. Speakers are placed throughout the booth to simulate the experience of monsters, ghouls and zombies coming at them from all angles. Fans blast cool air on the players' necks to get them to jump. The seats can vibrate to shock the players' senses as they try to control their emotions.
Namco Bandai didn't specify a release date except that it will hit arcades in the US by the end of this year.

Hehe.. thanks for the comment. You actually pointed out a problem I usually run into - making things look like photos. I like paintings to look.. well.. more painterly, but I think I'm too afraid to let myself loosen up. I'll keep trying though. =)

There's been a whole lot of news about the new Daft Punk LP, Random Access Memories, slated to come in May. And among that news has been the talk of the duo's many collaborators on the record—many of whom you may not know. So allow us to sketch out the details of some of the folks who are said to appear on the record.
Nile Rodgers
The man most commonly tied to the new LP is disco legend and producer Nile Rodgers. In fact, the Chic guitarist become a de facto spokesman for the tight-lipped Daft Punk, announcing that the new album is smoking, and being one of the first to talk about his involvement in the record last year at IMS. What else should you know him for? His and partner Bernard Edwards' amazing balearic production of Carly Simon's "Why," for one.
Paul Williams
We're extremely curious as to where American songwriter Paul Williams fits into the RAM equation. In the past, he penned hits for Three Dog Night, David Bowie, and the Carpenters.
Panda Bear
Panda Bear is the nom-de-tune of Animal Collective's Noah Lennox, who struck out on his own from the band with the hugely successful 2007 LP Person Pitch. Known for his—and Animal Collective's—extremely psychedelic wall-of-sound approach to music-making, Panda Bear has become quite a well-known collaborative quantity in the indie world, working with the likes of Atlas Sound and Zomby, so Daft Punk seems a logical next step.
Chilly Gonzales
Chilly Gonzales is another serial collaborator, having worked with Feist, Mocky, Buck 65, Jamie Lidell, and Drake, but there's a good reason why—despite being a goofy indie rapper, he's also an accomplished piano and songwriter.
Giorgio Moroder
Moroder, as you likely know, is a straight-up disco and synthesizer music legend, who's worked with Donna Summer, Sparks, David Bowie, Japan, and tons of others. So hey, why not the biggest duo in house music, too?
Pharrell Williams
When it comes to hip-hop producers of the last decade, Pharrell Williams has got to be somewhere in the top five. Having supplied beats for Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, and tons more—not to mention often crooning on the tracks as well—the huge creative force behind NERD and the Neptunes production duo knows no studio limits. We're psyched to see what he brings to the table.
Nathan East
Bassist Nathan East may not be the most well-known in dance-music circles, but amongst jazz and R&B aficionados, he's a force to be reckoned with. His list of collaborators is a mile long, but it starts something like this: Anita Baker, Babyface, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Kenny Loggins, The Manhattan Transfer, Herbie Hancock… you get the gist. He also wrote the music for Phil Collins' "Easy Lover," which we can guess is high on Daft Punk's list of favorite radio-rockers of the '80s, and with a quick listen, you can see why this would factor so well into the duo's old-school-favoring aesthetic.

Phantom Blue -- Hollywood, CA -- May 26th, 2009
This was a one-off Phantom Blue renunion show also featuring other bands which Michelle Meldrum played in. The show was a benefit gig for her family at the Whisky A-Go-Go.
[B]The Iron Maidens[/B]
Their setlist was quite different because their singer Kirsten wasn't at the show. They called on Jason McMaster of the band Dangerous Toys to sing the two songs with vocals in them. It turned out to be a good thing because I got to see some rare gems instead of the usual stuff.
1. Transylvania
2. Losfer Words
3. The Ides of March
4. Wrathchild
5. Remember Tomorrow
6. Genghis Khan
[B]Phantom Blue[/B]
Really enjoyable set. It was great to see them reunite. The Iron Maidens guitarist Courtney Cox filled in for Michelle Meldrum. Linda was fuckin amazing on the drums. I loved Going Mad the most :rocker::rocker:
1. Nothing Good
2. Loved Ya
3. Time To Run
4. Bad Rep
5. Lied To Me
6. A Little Evil
7. Going Mad
[B]Lizzy Borden[/B] Loved their set!!
1. Live Forever
2. Never Too Young
3. Long Live Rock And Roll :rocker:
4. Me Against The World
5. Tomorrow Never Comes
[B]Meldrum[/B]. I'm not sure of their setlist. But they were fuckin great specially because Gene Hoglan was on drums :party:
Another VERY interesting thing for me was after the Lizzy Borden set when I got a tap on the shoulder and when I turned around to see who it was, it was John Kevill of Warbringer!! :eek: He said to me 'dude you are the most awesome headbanger I've seen! I just wanted to tell you that!' :D
Then I told him that their new CD is fuckin cool and I would be back here to see Warbringer on June 10th. He was like 'hey thanks man! Come on let me introduce you to my girlfriend!' And wtf his gf was the Iron Maidens guitarist Courtney Cox!! :eek::eek:
When I was watching her on stage I was thinking .. gosh I need a picture with her for sure! And I got it without even asking! So I got a picture with both of them :D :D
Did Lemmy show up?
[QUOTE=ijwthstd;212419]Did Lemmy show up?[/QUOTE]
nope ..for some reason he didn't
Dude that is so fucking badass that you met those guys so chill-like. Great review, sounded like a fun show :rocker:
The Iron Maidens annoy the piss out of me.
[QUOTE=Maiden33;212427]The Iron Maidens annoy the piss out of me.[/QUOTE]
That's new. I was expecting a "why?" haha.
[QUOTE=Maiden33;212429]That's new. I was expecting a "why?" haha.[/QUOTE]
To each his own.
[QUOTE=Maiden33;212429]That's new. I was expecting a "why?" haha.[/QUOTE]
Does that mean you aren't going to tell us why?
[QUOTE=JRA;212459]Does that mean you aren't going to tell us why?[/QUOTE]
The inferior sex is covering Iron Maiden, what's not annoying about that?

In an academic setting operant conditioning techniques are useful tools for eliciting the optimum cognitive and social development of each child. Operant conditioning focuses on teachable components of behaviors, the particular reinforcers that maintain or change those behaviors for each individual, and precise techniques for administering and managing those reinforcers. Several studies (Egeland & Winer, 1974; Gamache & Madle, 1976; Hively, 1962;Sidman & Stoddard, 1967; Terrace, 1963) provide information suggesting that the use of a particular operant technique, errorless discrimination training, might elicit an increase in visual and auditory discrimination of digraphs by a learning-disabled child.

It's a very cute charm, but just be aware that the color in the picture above isn't the same as it is in reality. It's more of a dark brown-ish color, whereas it looks more gold in the picture. It is also flat, I expected it to be more 3-dimensional. Still going to use it though.
