Divisions among Christians are serious sins, Pope tells audience
Catholic World News - January 21, 2013
Pope Benedict XVI said that divisions within Christian are among "the most serious sins that disfigure the face of the Church," during his public audience on Sunday, January 20.
Speaking on the day's Gospel, which recounted the story of the miracle at Cana, the Holy Father said that the wine at the wedding feast represented not only the joy of the feast but also "the blood that Jesus will shed in the end, to seal his nuptial pact with humanity." In that union, the Pope said, the bride of Christ—the Church, composed of fallen human members—"is always in need of purification."
In that context Pope Benedict lamented the lack of unity among Christians, and especially "the historical divisions that have separated Christians and that still have not been overcome." He called attention to the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, encouraging all the faithful to join in a effort "which awakens the desire for, and spiritual commitment to, achieving full communion."
As he concluded his Sunday audience, the Pope also offered a prayer "for peace so that in all the various ongoing conflicts, the slaughter of unarmed civilians might stop."

Charlotte Church last night slammed the music industry for its "juvenile perspective on gender and sexuality."
Giving the annual John Peel lecture on BBC Radio 6Music last night (Monday, October 14), the singer discussed the theme of women and their representation in the music industry.
Church spoke about her own experiences of growing up in the public eye and being "pressured" to wear "revealing outfits" by record label executives who "often reminded" her "just whose money was being spent".
Naming artists such as Rihanna and Miley Cyrus as other victims of this sexualisation, Church also cited statistics revealing just how few women are behind the scenes.
"Out of 295 acts and artists in the The Rock & Roll hall of fame, 259 are entirely male, meaning that Tina Weymouth's part in Talking Heads make them one of the 36 female acts.
"The Association of Independent Music's 2012 membership survey revealed that only 15% of label members are majority-owned by women. PRS claims only 13% of writers registered are female. The music producers guild: less than 4%," she explained.
The speech ended with a call for age-ratings on 'unacceptable' videos and for radio stations to take into consideration the image of an artist when deciding whether to play and promote their music.
"If the power was taken away from sex in pop by making it harder for younger viewers to access it, then maybe the focus would shift to making works of artistic beauty and conscience. And fundamentally that would actually be putting the power back in sex, for a future world where humans are able to portray their sexuality as it is for them," Church concluded.
You can read the speech in full below:
"I'd like you to imagine a world in which male musicians are routinely expected to act as submissive sex objects. Picture Beyonce's husband Jay Z stripped down to a T-back bikini thong, sex-kittening his way through a boulevard of suited and booted women for their pleasure. Or Britney Spears's Ex Justin Timberlake, in buttock-clenching denim hot pants, writhing on the bonnet of a pink chevy, explaining to his audience how he'd like to be their teenage dream.
"Before we all get a little too hot beneath the gusset, of course, these scenarios are not likely to become reality, unless for comedy's sake. The reason for this is that these are roles that the music industry has carved out specifically for women. It is a male dominated industry, with a juvenile perspective on gender and sexuality.
"From what I can see there are three main roles that women are allowed to fill in modern pop music, each of them restrictive for both artist and audience. They are mainly portrayed through the medium of the music video. You'll find them very familiar. I call them the 'One-of-the-girls Girls', the 'Victim/Torch Singer' and 'Unattainable Sex Bot'.
"The 'One-of-the-girls Girls' role is a painfully thin reduction of feminism that generally seems to point to a world where so long as you can hang out with your girls it's possible to sort of wave away the evils that men do. This denigrates women and men equally, and yet is commonly lauded for being empowering.
"The 'Victim/Torch Singer' can be divided up into the sexy victim i.e Natalie Imbruglia in her Torn video, and the not-so-sexy victim. One female artist who does not use her sexuality to sell records is Adele However, lyrically her songs are almost without exception written from the perspective of the wronged-woman, an archetype as old as time, someone who has been let down by the men around her, and is subsequently in a perpetual state of despair.
"But to me, The Unattainable Sex Bot is the most commonly employed and most damaging, a role that is also often claimed to be an empowering one. The irony behind this is that the women generally filling these roles are very young, often previous child stars or Disney-tweens, who are simply interested in getting along in an industry glamourised to be the most desirable career for young women. They are encouraged to present themselves as hyper-sexualised, unrealistic, cartoonish, as objects, reducing female sexuality to a prize you can win.
"When I was 19 or 20, I found myself in this position, being pressured into wearing more and more revealing outfits and the lines that I had spun at me again and again (generally by middle aged men) were "you look great you've got a great body why not show it off?" or "Don't worry it'll look classy. It'll look artistic."
I felt deeply uncomfortable about the whole thing, but was often reminded by record label executives just whose money was being spent. Whilst I can't defer all blame away from myself, I was barely out of my teenage years, and the consequence of this portrayal of me is that now I am frequently abused on social media, being called 'slut', 'whore' and a catalogue of other indignities that I'm sure you're also sadly very familiar with.
"Now I find it difficult to promote my music in the places where it would be best suited because of my "history". The culture of demeaning women in pop music is so ingrained as to become routine, from the way we are dealt with by management and labels, to the way we are presented to the public. You could trace this back to Madonna - although it probably goes back further in time. She was a template setter.
"By changing her image regularly, putting her sexuality in the heart of her image, videos and live performance - the statement she was making was - I am in control of ME and my sexuality. This idea has had its corners rounded off over the years and has become "take clothes off, show you're an adult.
"Rihanna's recent video for 'Pour It Up' may have over 40 million hits on Youtube - but you only have to look at the online response to see that it is only a matter of time before the public turn on an artist for 'pushing it too far'. But the single, like all of Rihanna's other provocative hits, will make her male writers and producers and record label guys a tonne of money. It is a multibillion dollar business that relies upon short burst messaging to sell product.
"And there is no easier way to sell something than to get some chick to get her tits out, right? When the male perspective is the dominant one, the end point is women being coerced into sexually demonstrative behaviour in order to hold on to their careers. This idea repeated over generations CAN'T BUT have a negative effect on women whether they are in the industry or not.
"I needn't point out that these roles are interchangeable for artists and they are not prescriptive to all female musicians. For every chart-topping star that fits neatly into one or other of these archetypes, there are 20 other artists, who may not have the same earning potential but have carved out their own roles, as human beings, not objects. One has only to look at Julia Holter, Haim or Polica to see strong women unrestricted in their art by their gender or sexuality.
"Throughout the industry wherever you find women they are doing brilliant things. Trina Shoemaker is a three time grammy award winning engineer, Mandy Parnell is a mastering engineer who has worked on some of the best received albums of the last 20 years, and Marin Alsop this summer became the first ever female conductor of the last night of the proms. She recently said: "There is no logical reason to stop women from conducting.
The baton isn't heavy. It weighs about an ounce. No superhuman strength is required. Good musicianship is all that counts. As a society we have a lack of comfort in seeing women in these ultimate authority roles."
"Out of 295 acts and artists in the The Rock & Roll hall of fame 259 are entirely male, meaning that Tina Weymouth's part in Talking Heads make them one of the 36 female acts. The Association of Independent Music's 2012 membership survey revealed that only 15% of label members are majority-owned by women.PRS claims only 13% of writers registered are female. The music producers guild: less than 4%.
"Last year I toured with an exceptionally talented female sound engineer, and last week I launched a publishing company that unintentionally has all female staff, but I'm constantly disappointed to find out how few women there are in certain areas of the industry. So is it simply all down to sexism, myths about women perpetuated by men.
"Nicky Minaj seems to think so. In what has now become known as her "pickle juice rant" she talks about how she is derided for demanding a certain level of professionalism from the people she works with. She says: "When I am assertive I'm a bitch when a man is assertive he's a boss." Minaj is one of many top-flight female artists who use alter-egos in their work. Her other personalities are often men who rap violently about women.
"So to what extent are these myths about women perpetuated by women themselves? In a very recent very public spat between the legendary Sinead O'Connor, and the infamous Miley Cyrus, Mother O'Connor wrote a concerned open letter directed at Miss Cyrus, who herself responded by ridiculing O'Connor's bipolar disorder on twitter.
"If women are to become free agents of their gender's destiny in a music world that is reliant upon shouting loudest over the clamour, it stands to reason that online pissing contests only serves to detract from the strong messages being put forward by such artists as Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu.Their recent collaboration on 'Q.U.E.E.N' is an eloquent and impassioned rally cry for what Monae identifies as "everyone who's felt ostracized and marginalised". And yet it is women that she addresses most specifically in the track, ending with the line "electric ladies will you sleep? or will you preach?"
"The recent flapping about Miley Cyrus's blah blah blah has clearly struck a chord with the likes of O'Connor and opened up a worldwide debate on the use of female sexuality to sell product. Annie Lennox cut to the jugular when she talked about the age-propriety of what she calls "dark" and "pornographic" music videos. She has called for videos to be rated as films are, with x-ratings being applied to the most sexually explicit. It is interesting to note that anyone of any age has been able to watch Christina Aquilera's simulated masturbation in her "Dirrty" video on youtube since the website began, and yet you must sign in to the site to prove your age if you wanted to watch Bjork's stunning video for "Pagan Poetry".
"Whilst I would argue that neither videos are acceptable viewing for young eyes, I know which one I'd rather have to explain to my child. Whilst channels like YouTube and Vimeo have a responsibility in dealing with these issues, Radio stations shouldn't think they are beyond criticism. As Tony Hall, the BBC's Director General, announces the new iPlayer channel for Radio 1 the question must be asked: should programmers take into consideration the image of an artist when deciding whether to play and promote their music?
"There are countless examples from the last few years of songs that have been in high rotation, that have little to no artistic worth, but are JUST PLAIN RUDE. I've been asked to give some examples, but I don't want to give the Daily Mail an excuse to ignore the rest of this lecture. BBC Radio is notorious for misreading sexual metaphor and innuendo as innocent, (most famously with Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side) but more recently there doesn't seem to be a decency barrier at all, unless you're dealing with words like "fuck", or "shit", or "hippopotamus cock".
"If there are no sanctions put upon music that is written so zealously about genitalia, or uses soft porn in its promotion online, what is to stop artists feeling that making their music and videos more sexy will undoubtedly drive up their online views and subsequently encourage more radio play. And so to "Blurred Lines", which many in this room have no doubt added to their playlists.
"The "Blurred Lines" video which had the biggest part in jettisoning a song, by a mediocre artist into the biggest track of the year, was on youtube for just under a week before it was taken down, and remains on Vimeo without any age restrictions. The indefensible Robyn Thicke stated in an interview with GQ that his intention was to do "everything that is completely derogatory towards women" because he respects them so much. He continued saying: "People say, 'Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?' I'm like, 'Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman."
"It is highly disappointing to note that the director of this crass and misogynistic video is a woman, Diane Martel, who also captured Miley Cyrus's twerking for the first time in the video for "We Can't Stop" and is responsible for an objectionable little number by Leah LaBelle called of all things "LOLITA".
"What is possibly more disappointing than this is the presence of the exceptionally talented Pharrell Williams at 2013's round table of chauvinism. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cyrus quoted a message to her from Williams, who said of her VMA's blah blah blah: "The VMAs was nothing more than God or the Universe showing you how powerful anything you do is. It's like uranium - it has the power to take over lives or power entire countries.Now that you've seen your power master it… You're not a train wreck, you're the train pulling everyone else along". With this kind of encouragement it is no surprise whatsoever that young women feel it necessary to be more and more shocking in their bid to be the most… forward-looking?
"Canadian electronic artist Grimes, whose third record Visions was met with universal acclaim, says "i don't want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualised". To my mind what this industry seems to want of it's women increasingly is sex objects that appear child-like. Look at the teddy bears everywhere, the Britney Spears Rolling Stone cover with a tellytubby from 1999, I state again "Lolita"!?! The terrifying thing is that the target demographic for this type of music is getting younger and younger.
"Jennifer Lopez seemingly trying to engulf the camera with her vagina on Britain's Got Talent earlier this year is a mild example of how frequently carnal images creep into the realm of what is deemed ok for kids. But ultimately it does not need to be this way. Sex can be art. Look at Bjork's Vespertine, a highly sexual and sensual record by a woman entirely in charge of her career and her sex. The same can be said about almost every Prince record and should be.
"Both are artists, adults and human beings intelligently addressing a human subject, not exclusively a male one. I support Annie Lennox's plea for ratings on videos. If Rihanna had not grown up watching the videos of the nineties then it might not be quite so essential for her to portray her sexuality so luridly, so constantly, and so influentially upon the next generation.
"If the power was taken away from sex in pop by making it harder for younger viewers to access it, then maybe the focus would shift to making works of artistic beauty and conscience. And fundamentally that would actually be putting the power back in sex, for a future world where humans are able to portray their sexuality as it is for them."

This was once the home page for a small business that sold paintball markers. To put it mildly, that business no longer exists.
These days, I am involved in other pursuits, but I still take great pride not just in selling quality products, but more importantly in the unparalleled level of service I attach to everything I sell.
To exemplify that commitment, this page will continue to exist, and continue to provide guidance on servicing your paintball marker, for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, though, if you're here for any reason other than to peruse Angel paintball marker maintenance documentation, please move along; nothing to see here. I can be reached by sending email to literally any address that ends in "@angelfaq.com".
Here is the archived Angel maintance information. If you have comments, questions, concerns or additions—send me an email. I will happily keep these updated if people care to contribute.

Does anybody know of a 2D, side scrolling rpg with the following elements: (?)
-Leveling system (endless or capped)
-A vast array of weapons increasing in awesomeness with player's increasing level (Example: level 3 noob can only use "iron short sword," while level 89 pwnmaster can use "infinity dragon blade of greater hellish grandeur")
-Open world style gameplay
-Fantasy, Medieval, Nordic(style) setting
-Tons of main/side quests
-NOT an MMO
If anyone can name a game that satisfies most/all of the above requirements, i will give you a Godcookie and praise your name for 3 ages.
2D Platformer RPG?

Castlevania is a good one to look at. Start with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and look for other games that fall under the Metroidvania/Castleroid genre.
Also worthy of note is Super Paper Mario, although it definitely doesn't fit your criteria as far as flavor goes.

Do you have any idea, what Proactol Plus is made of?
Proactol Plus is a fat binding pill that consists of the extracts from Prickly Pear or NeOpuntia. The pill contains two types of fibers: non-soluble as well as soluble, which are crucial in assisting you to lose your body-fat quickly. All the ingredients in Proactol Plus are natural, harmless and safe.
Numerous tests have already proved that the extract of Prickly Pear actively binds with the fat that is ingested daily. The result is that a substantial 27.4% of the dietary fat is barred from entering into your body system through digestion and assimilation. The undigested fat (as fat-fiber complex) passes naturally through the abdomen tracts and is ultimately eliminated from the body.
This procedure of restricting fat from entering into your body tissues is completely safe in contrast to other competitive products that are more targeted towards blocking fat rather than binding it. The basic fact that the non soluble fibers of Proactol Plus bind with fat particles and turn them into larger particulates unsuitable for digestion makes it totally safe and natural method to remove fat from your body. So Proactol Plus never causes any stomach discomfort or digestion related problems.
What is Prickly Pear?
Prickly Pear is a kind of cactus that is a native to the western hemisphere. It is known to have been growing in plenty in South America. Biological name "Optunia ficus-indica", also known as "Indian Fig", Prickly Pear is well-known to bind fat and increase the digestion time of the consumed food. Therefore you will feel fuller for longer durations and can resist yourself from being tempted towards unhealthy and fatty food stuffs. Thus, with this pill it is quite easy to lower your calorie intake by as much as 300 calories per day; with Proactol Plus you can easily say no to oily food items.
List of ingredients in your pack of Proactol Plus
- NeOpuntial fiber complex
- Microcrystalline cellulose
- Calcium hydrogen phosphate dehydrate
- Silica
- Povidone
- Magnesium stearate
Made from 100% organic ingredients, Proactol Plus has no side effects and it has been proven to be safe for long-term usage. Being a full herbal product it can be easily used by vegetarians/vegans.
Proactol Plus is backed by a number of tests from reputed testing organizations. All these tests have comprehensively proved that it helps you to lose your extra fat effectively. Proactol Plus is a certified medical device product having CE stamp of approval. It has passed stringent EU tests (MDD 93/42/EEC) by renowned medical specialists. The active ingredients in Proactol Plus have been certified by:
European Kosher Certification Bureau
Proactol Plus is an acceptable and legitimate dietary supplement UKVegetarian Society
- 100% organic ingredient
- GMO free
- Appropriate for vegetarians
- ECOcert SASFrance
Contains no added preservatives
Contains no allergens
No solvents used for extraction
So don't wait any further, start a healthier and smarter life today with Proactol Plus

Hey everybody – Jenn here from the Communications team keeping you in the loop on what's up in Springfield this week. Let's talk nursing home reform… In 2010 the Illinois General Assembly passed landmark legislation to improve the quality of care in Illinois nursing homes. (WOOHOO!) Among other elements, the new law addressed staffing ratios in nursing homes. Studies have shown that staffing ratios play a vital role in the quality of care nursing home residents receive, particularly when it …
Hello, readers. This is Gerardo with AARP Illinois' Communications team. It was less than two years ago that advocates, legislators and state government got together to craft legislation that has significantly improved care and safety conditions for thousands of nursing home residents in Illinois. AARP was at the center of the reform along with SEIU, Illinois Citizens for Better Care, The Jane Addams Senior Caucus, and the Community Renewal Society. State Senators Heather Steans and Jacqueline Collins, and State Reps. …
At a second South Carolina debate last night, all of the Republican presidential candidates (a crowd pared down to four""Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum""at this point) said that 'Obamacare' can and should be repealed or reversed.
Beginning in 2012, a new $1-per-person fee on health insurance plans will be used to pay for medical effectiveness research. A health reform loophole means you could still end up paying for some preventative care services. And retirement and aging policy experts say what questions they would pose in a presidential debate.
Last Friday, the Obama administration announced that it would leave defining the "essential health benefits" that must be provided by insurance plans under the new health care law up to the states, instead of specifying some national standard of benefits. And the mothers-to-be of the 1950s could be at the root of today's obesity epidemic, according to fitness and nutrition expert Melinda Sothern.
Retirement age for public sector workers""government employees, teachers, firefighters, trash collectors""is becoming a topic of fierce friction nationwide. And the lines between hospitals, insurance companies and doctors are blurring, as the health care law awaits Supreme Court consideration and the 2014 start date of the individual insurance mandate.

Georgia DUI Survival Guide
DUI With a CDL (Commercial Driver's License)
In recent years, the federal government has taken steps to ensure uniform requirements for Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL) throughout the United States. By threatening to withhold federal highway money from the States the federal government is forcing the States to pass new laws or amend current laws to toughen penalties for commercial drivers. Georgia has succumbed to this pressure and amended Georgia's laws concerning commercial drivers to be almost identical to the federal regulations.
Under these new laws, even in those states which (unlike Georgia) permit a deferred sentence resulting in no conviction, the charge will be counted as a conviction for purposes of your CDL. If you enter a guilty plea or a no contest plea, the charge will be counted as a conviction for purposes of your CDL.
The Department of Driver Services will disqualify you from operating a commercial vehicle for a period of one year if you are driving or in actual physical control of a commercial vehicle with a blood or breath alcohol level of .04 or more. If you refuse to take a chemical test following your arrest for DUI, you will also face a one-year disqualification.
Your CDL will be suspended if you are operating any motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substances or combination thereof. The same is true if you refuse testing while operating any vehicle. In the case of the former, you may have a class C operator's license reinstated after 120 days if you are convicted. In the case of the latter, you will not have any driving privileges for one year unless you obtain a non-DUI disposition. This means if you are driving your personal vehicle and are convicted of DUI, the State will suspend your CDL for one year.
If you are driving a commercial vehicle which requires a placard for hazardous material and your commercial driver's license is suspended for the reasons outlined in the previous two paragraphs, the suspension period is increased to three years. A second conviction for DUI, a second refusal to submit to testing, or a combination of the two arising from two or more separate incidents will in most circumstances result in a lifetime CDL disqualification. The only exception is if the prior offense occurred prior to 2003 and before you obtained your CDL.
If you are thinking that a DUI is "no big deal," you may want to reconsider. Georgia does not allow any kind of "limited permit" or "work permit" for a CDL. If you are convicted of DUI and have a commercial driver's license, you will not be able to work driving a commercial vehicle for one year. After that, you may have a great deal of difficulty getting a job because your insurance costs will be astronomical. A conviction for DUI can have a lifetime effect on your ability to make a living.

Lorde on the cover of 'V' magazine.
Photo: V magazine
When it comes to covers, V magazine can do no wrong. The publication has a killer streak of taking the artists we love to see and transforming them into eye-popping cover stars. Remember Lady Gaga's semi-nude recent run? Or when Miley tried out a pink faux-hawk and men's briefs? This time around, for their March music issue, V tapped four of our favorite artists to emerge in 2013: Lorde, Haim, Banks, and Say Lou Lou for a set of decidedly demure alternate covers.

Document Number: 6036From Middle School to the Workforce: Latino Students in the Educational Pipeline - The study on Latino Students and The Educational Pipeline is a three-part series. This report, which is Part I, examines how National Educational Longitudinal Study Latino students compared to white students over a 12-year period, examining background characteristics, preparation for postsecondary education, access to postsecondary education, postsecondary persistence and completion and employment outcomes. Latino students were less likely to have a parent with an earned educational credential and more likely to be from a low-income background. Additionally, Latino students were more likely to take certain remedial classes and less likely to take rigorous coursework in high school. Almost two-thirds of Latino students who enrolled in postsecondary education did not earn a degree by the year 2000, compared to 40% of white students. (Watson Scott Swail, Alberto F. Cabrera, Chul Lee and Adriane Williams, Educational Policy Institute, April 2005)...

Sony has apparently set up an online survey that hints at a couple of new things, namely a Gran Turismo game for the PlayStation Vita and a new feature for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Sony unveiled quite a few new features and games during its E3 2012 expo, but it seems that the company still has a few aces up its sleeve.
According to IGN, an online survey has been set up that asks gamers how they feel about an iteration in the Gran Turismo racing series designed for the PlayStation Vita console.
What's more, another question asks players how they feel about a new feature for the PlayStation Plus subscription, which would allow paying members to get a game for one platform (PS Vita, for example) and then receive its other version (for the PS3) for free.
Seeing as how both questions are part of a survey, Sony is still undecided about these two things, so expect some more time to pass before seeing new PS Plus perks or a Gran Turismo game for the PS Vita.

Providence Takes Top Award in Bloomberg Mayors Challenge
Thursday, March 14, 2013
Aaron Seward.
Bloomberg Philanthropies has announced the winners of its Mayors Challenge, a competition meant to generate innovative ideas for the improvement of city life. Out of the 300 cities that submitted proposals, the giving institution created by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg gave the Grand Prize for Innovation to Providence, RI, and its mayor, Angel Taveras. The city was awarded $5 million to implement its project, what Bloomberg Philanthropies called a "cutting-edge early education initiative." Under the initiative, participating children will wear a recording device home that will monitor the conversations they have with their parents or other adults. The transcripts of these conversations will then be used to develop weekly coaching sessions in which government monitors or someone will coach the grownups on how better to speak with their children.
Daly Genik and Machineous Affordably Fabricate Sun Shaded Facades
Friday, January 4, 2013
Sam Lubell.
|Brought to you with support from:
The fabrication team cut, folded, and welded 264 aluminum panels into 66 uniquely shaped sun shades.
One of the challenges of designing affordable housing, points out Kevin Daly, principal at LA firm Daly Genik Architects, is "managing a balance between the economic forces that demand repeatability and the risk that monotony comes with that repetitiveness."
Daly Genik and LA fabricators Machineous came up with a great solution for Broadway Apartments, an affordable project at the corner of Broadway and 26th Street in Santa Monica, developed by Community Corporation of Santa Monica. Read More

Check out Unfrozen Music tomorrow night at the Santa Monica Public Library's MLK Jr. Auditorium, hosted by AN West Coast Editor Sam Lubell. The concert will feature classical piano, chamber music, and jazz performed by LA architects like John Friedman Alice Kimm's Alice Kimm, Gensler's Terrence Young, NBBJ's Gary Popenoe. And trust us, these guys are good. This is our third year going. More details here.

Unfrozen Music: Architects in Concert
Santa Monica Main Library
Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 7:00 PM
Tomorrow night a few talented Los Angeles architects—several featured on the pages of AN over the years—will be showing off their skills at the third annual Unfrozen Music, a concert at the Santa Monica Library's MLK Auditorium. Emcee'd by AN West Coast Editor Sam Lubell, the lineup ranges from chamber music to jazz to indie rock. And here's a secret—they're all really good.
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium Getting Facelift
Thursday, June 2, 2011
Sam Lubell.
After attending the recent Alt Build Expo in Santa Monica it became clear to us at AN that the aging Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, a Decorative Modernist structure designed by Welton Becket back in 1958, was in serious need of an update. (Becket, by the way, designed the Capitol Records Building, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and a good deal more of mid-Century Los Angeles.)
Well it looks like our wish is coming true: On May 26 the Santa Monica City Council voted to approve a $47 million remodel and seismic retrofit of the auditorium, using Santa Monica Redevelopment Agency funds (the vote to allocate funds was sped up because such monies may soon be frozen once the state budget is passed).
No firm has been chosen, but we will keep our eyes peeled on the RFP, which was posted here last month. "They anticipate a design build contract," said Santa Monica spokesperson Carol Lemlein, who noted that perspective teams will be made up of architects, contractors, engineers, and preservation experts.

Capping Santa Monica. Curbed LA got some great renderings from students at USC who where charged with imagining even more highway caps for the Pacific Coast Highway, this time from Arizona to California Avenues. Beyond freeway parks, the students proposed housing, hotels, and community centers.
Breaking Whitney. With the deal signed for the Met to take over the Whitney's Breuer building on Madison, directors at the ground breaking for the new branch at the High Line had all the more reason to celebrate. DNA reminds readers that the museum is actually retuning home. Ol' Gerty got the ball rolling on 8th Street way back in 1930.
Dylan Sings. Happy B-day Bobby! Bob Dylan turned 70 on Tuesday and in celebration the Infrastructurist presents Dylan's Ten Best Infrastructure Songs, including "The Levee's Gonna Break" and "Marchin' to the City."
Old School. Design New Haven has the Robert A.M. Stern drawings for "street calming measures" at Yale that are part of the $600 million for renovations, including two new residential colleges. The plan includes mixed use buildings intended to encourage street life at all hours and improved access to the Farmington Canal Greenway .

Say Goodbye To The Pugh in Pugh+Scarpa
Sunday, September 12, 2010
Sam Lubell.
AN has just learned that Gwynne Pugh of well-known Santa Monica firm Pugh + Scarpa has decided to leave the firm to start his own company, Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio. Pugh and Lawrence Scarpa have led the firm for the past 22 years—Pugh actually hired Scarpa in the '80s. Pugh's new company, which "specializes in the design of structures, urban design, planning, sustainability, and consultation to companies and public entities," launched on September 1. In 2011, firm principal (and Scarpa's wife) Angela Brooks, who now runs Pugh+Scarpa's sustainable development department, will be elevated to principal-in-charge, precipitating a new firm name: Brooks+Scarpa. The firm would not comment on the changes (and Pugh's profile is already off the firm's site), but we will keep you informed as more information becomes available.
Spruce Up a Parking Lot

Despite the frustration of having to drive everywhere, often sitting through interminable traffic, at least Angelinos can boast some of the prettiest parking structures in the country. One of the latest to the game is Pugh + Scarpa's dressed up garages for the redeveloped Santa Monica Place mall, garages that were originally designed by the same man behind the now demolished mall, Frank Gehry himself. Not content to simply dress up some old garages with a flashy new facade, the mall has dedicated space on each of the two parking structures for art installations Read More
Wait Just A Minute Santa Monica
Thursday, January 14, 2010
Sam Lubell.
Just when we thought that Santa Monica was all set to get Eli Broad's new art museum (Santa Monica City Council is expected to vote on an "agreement in principal" for the museum on January 19), the LA Times gets an email from the Broad Foundation saying it wouldn't make up its mind on a location for a few months. In the email, dated January 13, the Broad Foundation said: "There are more than three cities that have expressed an interest in the Broad Art Foundation headquarters/museum. Discussions are still ongoing, so we can't say more at this point. But we're keeping our options open and hope to make a decision on a location this spring." The story also seems to resolve the location of that mysterious third possible location for the museum: a 10-acre parcel on the campus of West L.A. College in Culver City (although West L.A. College President Mark Rocha said he hasn't heard a peep from Broad). This saga will obviously be drawn out until 2050, so we prescribe patience for those who want an answer soon.
Broad Chooses Santa Monica?
Friday, January 8, 2010
Sam Lubell.
According to the Santa Monica Daily Press (via our senseis at Curbed) Santa Monica has basically claimed victory in its battle against Beverly Hills for Eli Broad's new contemporary art museum. According to the story the Santa Monica City Council could vote on the deal as soon as this Tuesday. "I feel that the vast majority of issues have been discussed thoroughly and agreed to," City Councilman Bob Holbrook told the Daily Press. Meanwhile in Beverly Hills city spokeswoman Cheryl Burnett told the Daily Press she wasn't aware of any new developments in negotiations with the Broad Foundations. Doesn't look good for Beverly Hills.. Read More

Video: Experience pays off for I-75 plane pilot
Gibsonton, Florida - Traffic crawled along I-75 for hours Thursday. Lanes were closed and cars slowed as drivers, cameras in hand, craned to see an unusual sight.
A small plane was resting in the grassy median. Nearby, the pilot and his passengers were not very talkative, but were OK. They declined to speak with the media.
The single-engine Piper took off from Peter O. Knight Airport about 8:30 a.m. Thursday, but it hadn't gone far when warning lights in the cockpit went on-electrical problems, losing oil.
And that's when pilot Charles "Craig" Pulliam started eyeing I-75 as a landing strip.
On the way down the plane clipped a power line, but Pulliam still managed to land safely on the shoulder of the northbound lanes.
"This is a little unusual. I wouldn't say it's a bad situation, there's no injuries, which is outstanding," said Hillsborough Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Jim Chastain at the scene. "It could have been definitely a lot worse."
Once the plane was taxiing on the ground, a large sign along the roadway tore off its left wing, causing a minor fuel spill.
After that, perhaps the bigger problem was just the traffic tie-ups.
"It has messed up the morning rush-hour traffic. There's a lot of onlookers that are curious as to what's going on," said David Powell of the Florida Highway Patrol.
By mid-afternoon, the wings were taken off the plane and it was hauled away. Its owned by Panacea Enterprises of Tampa. Company officials did not return phone messages requesting comment.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol report, Pulliam's passengers were Walter Womack, 50, of Spring Hill and William Sisson, 58, of Tampa.
Pulliam, a 64-year-old pilot from Valrico, has decades of flying experience. And pilots who know him are not surprised this emergency landing turned out so well.
"Craig's a good stick", said Richard Campion, a commercial pilot flying out of Peter O. Knight. "That means a guy that instinctively knows what to do and his body's doing it, before his brain's even thinking about it."

The Raid
DIRECTOR Gareth Evans
STARS Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian
For all of Hollywood's love of large-scale carnage and second unit-directed mayhem, the best action movie of the year – hell, of the last 20 years, and a strong contender for best of all time – was a small-scale affair that came from Indonesia and was directed by a bloke from Wales. But Gareth Evans is a Hong Kong action cinema nut, and boy does it show in The Raid, a non-stop battering ram of a movie that makes Hard Boiled look Over Easy. The plot is so nice 2012 used it twice – Dredd also pitted an unstoppable cop against hordes of killers in a tower block from which there is no escape – but Evans uses it as a framework for the most visceral action choreography in years. You will wince, you will exclaim "oof!" at numerous points, and you will marvel at the astonishing skills and fluidity of Evans' discovery, Iko Uwais, who takes on all comers with the grace and power of Chan/Lee/Jaa (insert your own comparison here). But it's not all wham bam: Evans conjures a strong sense of place, there's great suspense (the wall cavity scene is genius) and the plot twists and turns enough to make the currently-prepping sequel, Berandal, a mouthwatering prospect.CHRIS HEWITT

The demonstration by Sony of a curved LCD at IFA shows the headache presented to OLED strategists. Their technology has to establish itself on a battlefield largely defined by the enemy. In TV, OLED is yet to establish a foothold and now it faces a mature industry with numerous research teams working on countering OLED's every move. Samsung and LGE have to solve fundamental OLED problems while the LCD industry works on small refinements. Curving displays always looked like a gimmick, but it set OLED apart – until now.
Descriptions of OLED as a success or a failure are both wide of the mark – in mobile it is undoubtedly a success and with time it should be possible to make TV OLED in volume. With time. The question is whether the mature LCD industry is prepared to grant that time. The advantages of emissive displays were proved with plasma, yet these could not overcome the scale of the LCD business (and its competitive pressure to reduce costs even below break-even).
With 4Kx2K, LCD has redefined the battlefield. We can expect further innovation to defend it.

Ben Parks
Ben Parks grew up under the care of his grandmother in Hollister among poor migrant field workers, according to a biographical entry on a Web site for M-A's Sports Hall of Fame. Mr. Parks went on to graduate in 1957 from the College of the Pacific.
He began his career at M-A in 1968 as head football coach and wrestling coach. He taught physical education and was a vice principal for two years, the biography says.
He's been an active fundraiser for needy families, using such vehicles as a celebrity golf tournament and an annual birthday event in which he used to run a mile for each year of his age.
Coach Parks made a practice of leading group visits to tenant housing, migrant worker camps, and inner-city neighborhoods to deliver food, clothing, blankets, furniture, and Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys, the biography says.

No, you don't have to sell. But you should not be surprised to receive purchase offers. Family physicians and other primary care physicians are critical to the success of any ACO.
If you wish to participate in an ACO, you have several alternatives to selling your practice. For instance, many successful ACOs are developed by independent physician associations (IPAs), with members in independent or employed practice. Other ACOs have grown out of pre-existing physician-hospital organizations where the hospital is aligned with independent physician practices.
If you are not interested in selling, but an ACO in your area insists on contracting directly with participating primary care physicians, either of the following might be options:
The imperative of ACOs is to clinically align disparate health care providers to ensure that care is being delivered in the most appropriate setting and at the most appropriate time to ensure optimal clinical outcomes. If you do not want to sell your practice, you should be able to find another way to achieve your goals and the goals of the ACO.

Green Photography ArticleThursday, July 16th, 2009
Last year I wrote an article for Photo Pro magazine on the subject of green photography, focussing on what professional photographers can do to make their businesses more environmentally friendly.
Many of the changes that we can make, individually, may seem small and insignificant, but if everyone does all they can to be less damaging to the environment then big changes can result. We all undoubtedly have a commitment to do what is within our powers to be greener and ensure that future generations have a safe and clean world to live in.

Moneyval gave the Vatican a mixed report card. The Vatican received grades of "compliant" or "largely compliant" on 22 out of 45 guidelines used by the Financial Action Task Force, or FATF, to determine whether countries are at risk of becoming havens for money laundering and terrorist financing.
Facing a Friday deadline, the Vatican is scrambling to finalize measures to police funds that pass through its walls and bring money-launderers to heel, The Wall Street Journal reports. The question now is whether the measures will have any teeth.
