The Duke researchers found that lethal strains of C. neoformans have two ways of battling against the toxicity of the copper. First, the pathogen turns on genes that make proteins to protect it from copper toxicity, so even when exposed to the hostile copper environment in the macrophages, it survives.
But a second defense mechanism is also deployed. The fungus, sensing the copper-rich environment, triggers a response that shuts down the host's ability to pump more copper into the macrophages defusing this weapon in the immune system's arsenal.
"With these two mechanisms, C. neoformans can defend itself by sequestering the copper, and somehow communicate to the host macrophage, commanding that it shut down the copper pumps," Thiele said.
Thiele said studies are now focusing on how antifungal agents might thwart the pathogen's two defense systems. "The detoxification machinery might represent an effective drug target," Thiele said.

The Ducks were on their grass practice fields and dressed in shells for their sixth workout of fall camp this morning. They'll hold their first two-a-day session this afternoon.
The quarterbacks: This was a light workout in relation to what is to come this afternoon. Lots of teaching periods, and only a couple of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 sessions, though Nate Costa did get the first shot with the first team, best I could tell (they worked out primarily on the far practice field that's less accessible to observers). Despite that, I get the impression Darron Thomas may have a slight lead in their battle to this point. Offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich said Thomas has fewer turnovers and a better completion percentage through the first week, though he stressed that it's still basically an even competition between the two.
Both guys threw interceptions during team drills. Costa had a ball tipped that was snared by Brian Jackson, and Thomas didn't see Kenny Rowe drop back into coverage. Costa has had a couple passes tipped at the line this week, but Chip Kelly said any concerns about that trend are "overblown." Regarding Thomas, he's definitely become a more consistent passer to my untrained eye, just in the way the ball comes out of his hands and maintains a better trajectory to the receiver. Kelly said Thomas has improved his footwork as a passer. "When he can keep his feet underneath him and stay in balance, he's really, really a good passer," Kelly said. "We're trying to change him from being a thrower to a passer, and I think he's really responded."
Other developments: The Ducks have also had an active first week off the field. Kelly has brought in a few high-profile speakers to address the team, notably Tony Dungy and Joey Harrington. Each night during camp features between 30 and 45 minutes of what Kelly called "character education." And tomorrow, the first day without practice, position coaches will host barbecues at their homes.
Other notes: New athletic director Rob Mullens was on hand and addressed the team after practice. … Quarterbacks Daryle Hawkins and Dustin Haines ran a few routes in 11-on-11, because a few receivers were dinged up. … Walk-on defensive lineman Steve Adams arrived at camp today after missing the first week due to a family situation. Adams was in a helmet only as he begins the four-day NCAA-mandated acclimation period prior to donning full pads. … Former walk-on offensive lineman Justin Fritz has been on hand the last couple days observing. Kelly said he's looking into becoming a coach and so tagging along with Steve Greatwood.
Injury report: WR Ben Butterfield (hamstring), DT Zac Clark (back), LB Michael Clay (leg), LB Mike Garrity (back), WR Justin Hoffman (head), LB Keloni Kamalani (shoulder), WR Blake Stanton (ankle), OL Darrion Weems (back), TE Curtis White (shoulder).

'Gender-neutral' parenting -- i.e. a posture and policy of nonintervention in a child's experiments with social roles -- is a reasonable practice, or set of practices; at the minimum it can serve as a counterweight to the pathological limitations on sex roles found in (American) adult society. I have no great problem with gender roles as such; insofar as they're social/cultural conventions which amplify sex-linked traits and behaviours, I feel I should act neutrally toward them too. And defend against any intrusion on what I see as best practices, of course -- even if I surrender in the end.
I have a replica WWII GI's map case in olive canvas with a stiff cardboard back; it's the most convenient shoulder bag I've ever had. I refer to it as my purse, and get the occasional strange look for doing so. But it's a pretty butch bag all the same. I take this as a very very very small example of acknowledging the usual boundaries, tweaking them a bit, and going about my business such that my own convenience and comfort are kept high, even if productivity remains at a minimum. I also acknowledge that I get a giggle out of calling it a purse -- but I also explain, more often than is necessary, the super-masculine origins of the bag. Perhaps this is overcompensation in two opposing directions: an unstable equilibrium. Well, I'm not perfect. You?
Sasha Laxton is a five-year-old male. His parents claim to have kept his sex secret for five years. Now he's entered school, and they've publicly revealed that 'he's a boy.'
Here's a picture. Here's a TIME story about some backlash. Here's a quote from Sasha's mother:
"Stereotypes seem fundamentally stupid. Why would you want to slot people into boxes?" Laxton told her local news outlet, Cambridge News. "It affects what they wear and what they can play with, and that shapes the kind of person that they become."
I'm sure Laxton has done a lot of thinking about the nature of her/their experiment. I don't wish to engage in amateur psychology. And I do understand the progressive passion for replacement gender norms which are more just, or perhaps just differently unjust, than the ones we've got going today. So I want to point out two small things:
- This is not 'gender-free' or indeed 'gender-neutral' parenting. It is indeed explicitly interventionist in a ploddingly conventional way:
Sasha dresses in clothes he likes -- be it a hand-me-downs from his sister or his brother. The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts and cargo pants. In one photo, sent to friends and family, Sasha's dressed in a shiny pink girl's swimsuit. "Children like sparkly things," says Beck. "And if someone thought Sasha was a girl because he was wearing a pink swimming costume, then what effect would that have?"
Good idea, bad idea, doesn't matter: whatever her experiment was meant to accomplish in the beginning, she's cocked it up. Sasha knows what 'hyper-masculine' clothes are -- 'skull-print shirts and cargo pants.' Which of course 'affects what [he wears] and what [he] can play with, and that shapes the kind of person that [he becomes.' His parents -- by all press accounts his mom -- gave him a totally run-of-the-mill gender stereotype as a reference point and said YOU MAY NOT BE THAT. Good choice, bad choice, doesn't matter: now the kid thinks 'avoiding stereotypes' means not wearing traditional boys' clothing.
The hypocrisy is important. The kid won't be five forever, and someday he'll learn about stereotypes and gender roles and the nature of sexual difference from someone other than his mom and dad. He'll still carry big lessons about the joy of not worrying whether you're doing what everyone else is -- but he'll also carry a lesson, bigger than it may seem at first, about choosing the right stereotypes to please the grownups who made him think he could choose freely...
- Look here:
So is she hoping that dressing Sasha in pink will change anything? "Yes. If it just made one person think: 'No, I won't put that frilly dress on her because it's a bit silly' or: 'Yeah, if he really likes that doll, then that's OK,' then that would be really brilliant.
"All I want to do is make people think a bit."
And will she mind if Sasha grows up to be a butch rugby player or, indeed, a hairdresser?
"I just want him to fulfil his potential, and I wouldn't push him in any direction," says Beck.
"As long as he has good relationships and good friends, then nothing else matters, does it? What's more important than being happy, and making other people happy? It's all that matters." [my emphasis --wa]
Whatever sentiments Beck is trying to express, these quotes make me...uneasy, to say the very least. I hope you see why: the emphasis on (other) people 'think[ing] a bit,' the weird equation of not pushing a child with 'fulfilling his potential,' the silly idea that frilly dresses are themselves inherently silly -- like cargo pants and skull shirts, presumably, only Sasha seems to be encouraged to wear the dresses and forbidden from wearing the other stuff. (I'll note too that the not-so-faintly condescending tone of the interview just pisses me off.)
The interview isn't about Sasha, it's about Beck Laxton -- just as the furor over Amy Chua's frankly abusive parenting style (like her contemptibly self-serving bestselling account of it) was all about Amy Chua. Fine, fine, that's the media for you.
But consider: if Beck Laxton had taken any other approach to gender norms, and been this self-righteous about it, and given such incoherent justification to the press, and picked such weirdly specific issues to take a stand about ('ruched sleeves and scalloped collar?' seriously?), but not in the name of 'gender stereotypes' -- how would you receive the article? Would her politics be more interesting and important than, say, her hypocrisy?
That said: why is the media covering the story? Whose side are the news media always on?
Lost some steam here, sorry.

Keep High Ponytail Up
Q: How can I keep my high ponytail up all day long? It is always falling out after a couple of hours. Im looking for a solution that doesnt damage my hair. It took me years to grow it this long!
A: One tip that will help with making your ponytail style last longer is to use a firm hold styling gel on the hair while its damp and then comb it back smoothly into the ponytail style. This will give the hair the ability to adhere to itself better and allow the style to be more stable.
If this isnt enough stability for you, you should consider doing a compound ponytail. In this instance, you separate the hair so that you can create an initial ponytail in the specific position you want. Once the base ponytail is in place, you then bring the remaining hair around the first tail and secure another holder on the combined tails. This will provide additional stability to the hairstyle, and provided you dont wind either of the ponytail holders too tightly around the hair, should avoid damaging the hair.
As and an alternative, some people opt to take the hair of the inner portion of the style and braid it into a single plait then wind it against the scalp to form the base of the style. The braid is secured against the scalp with hairpins and the remaining hair is pulled over the base and secured into a ponytail. This will mean that the tail is smaller than it would otherwise be, but as it is smaller it would be lighter in weight and likely be better able to stand up to a daylong wear.

On my slider there seems to be a right and a left, I need a left roller #00.5024. Is your 23.222 universal? Was there any problems with your other customer's replacement?
A home owner from Watsonville, CA. says:
February 10, 2011
Where can I order this part number 00-5024, as I have 4 mirrored doors to repair and nobody locally supplies this part.
Looking at these discussions, does this mean that
is the replacement for this part? It looks to be a better replacement since it is not made of plastic. Has 00-5024 been discontinued?
Mike from SWISCO responded:

Hello Bob.
Our customers have been purchasing the

Thank you very much. We have been looking for feedback in regards to the replacement of the 00-5024.
A quick learner from Watsonville, ca says:
February 15, 2011
I tried installing the part and noticed that they are still a bit small and can be adjusted. But the downfall of this part is it's locking mechanism, once installed it is difficult to remove and adjust. There ways to improve this locking mechanism, but no way to show on this site on how to fix it.
If modified prior to installment, it would work fine. The height of the rollers is slightly off. Not sure what the results were for the other people, but must not have been favorable, since no one has posted.
Mike from SWISCO responded:
February 15, 2011
Thank you very much for your feedback, Bob. We appreciate you taking the time to post a follow-up on the discussion board.
A handy person from Haslett, Michigan says:

I have one broken 00-5024. Would I be wise to replace both of them with part number

Yes, I would recommend you replace both of them.

Can you identify which one you have?

The 2 top guides that I have are 17-4116. The
guide looks exactly like what I have. The bottom rollers (wheels) that I have look exactly like the
previously mentioned in this thread. These are complete, intact, and attached to the mirrored door. What I am trying to find is the track that these go into and the track they roll on (respectively). I need at least 8 feet of each of these tracks.

'Banned' Asif set to reconstruct life by acting in 'cross-border' Bollywood movie
Banned Pakistani bowler Mohammad Asif is reportedly set to reconstruct his life by tapping his potential as an actor in an upcoming Bollywood film titled 'Indian Mein Lahore'.
'India Mein Lahore' held guerrilla-styled auditions in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Dubai in an attempt to find new faces and hopes to encourage positive relations between India and Pakistan.
According to the Express Tribune, Asif, who will be taking acting courses, said that his attempt to venture towards acting is about moving on with his life and he hopes to get a better sense of his character with time, adding that this is a second choice as a career for him.
However, Asif insisted that his priority in life is still cricket and he believes that he will be able to make a comeback to the game eventually, although he added that if he gets more film offers, he would take them without hesitation.
Stating that there is an evident parallel between an actor and a cricketer, Asif further said that both are in glamorous professions and both are around cameras all the time, adding that he hopes that people will give him a second chance to make a name for himself.
Asif, who has followed both Indian and Pakistani cinema with great enthusiasm, has attended a workshop organised by the film's producers in an attempt to hone his acting skills, the report added.

Bainbridge on criminalizing agency costs
U.C.L.A. law professor Stephen Bainbridge is one of America's leading experts in the area of corporate and securities law, and he has long been generous in sharing his expertise on those subjects and others on his popular ProfessorBainbride.com weblog. Professor Bainbridge is also a formidable writer who is particularly gifted in breaking down complex legal issues in a simple and straightforward manner.
In this TCS Central op-ed (his blog post on the article is here), Professor Bainbridge takes dead aim at the dubious governmental policy of criminalizing business interests through the prosecution of agency costs, which are essentially the costs of poor corporate governance. The entire op-ed is a must read, and here is the money quote:
[S]hareholders deserve protection from theft, but not from risk taking, even when the risk in question is how much to pay an executive. Unfortunately, it's not clear that prosecutors know the difference -- or even care.

March 16, 1999
Consumer units spent $34,819 on average in 1997, an increase of 3 percent over the previous year. Spending on health care averaged $1,841, an increase of 4 percent. Health care expenditures had risen 2 percent in 1996, after decreasing the previous two years.
[Chart data—TXT]
Health insurance, the largest component of health care expenditures, rose 6.6 percent in 1997, following a decrease of 4 percent in 1996. Expenditures on prescription and nonprescription drugs rose by 6 percent, while spending on medical supplies rose 11 percent. Consumer units increased their expenditures on medical services 2 percent.
In 1997, younger consumer units (reference persons under 25 years of age) spent 10 percent more on health care than a year earlier, largely due to increased spending on health insurance. In contrast, older consumer units (reference person age 75 and over) spent about 4 percent less on health care. However, older consumers still spent a much larger portion of their total income on health care than younger consumers (14 to 2 percent).
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey. Additional information is available from "Consumer Expenditures in 1997", Report 927. Expenditures data on health care track consumers' out-of-pocket expenses.

Who determines what is fine art and what is not? Why does it matter who painted a particular piece? Are museums like zoos for inanimate objects? These questions and others have been asked or are inspired by recent documentaries about the art world, including Don Argott's The Art of the Steal, which opens this weekend in theaters and debuts today on IFC On Demand.
If you've ever been interested in art -- or, if you've at least been to an art museum before (who hasn't?) -- please do yourself a favor and check this new film out. Then come back here and contribute to the Doc Talk discussion. Other films I recommend seeing are My Kid Could Paint That and Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollack?, both of which have altered my perception of fine art and the art world from what I grew up with.
From birth I was raised on galleries, museums and art lessons. I come from a family of artistic individuals, both professional and non. And my schoolmates consistently labeled me "Class Artist." Yet the whole topic of art has always been tricky for me. I've consistently had conflicting views on art, hated theory and pretentious art world B.S., and I never felt the need to defend, critically, why my favorite painters are as disparate as Van Gogh, Miro, Parrish, my brother and Bierstadt.
I had as much interest in commercial illustration (including of course a love for movie poster design), the kind my father made a living at, as the works of the masters. Meanwhile, I always found the idea of standing in line for hours to see the Mona Lisa, just because it's the Mona Lisa, to be pretty lame. Nothing against the academic art world, really (I do cherish what art history education I've had), but I don't like how it dictates to the masses -- part of this being the fault of the masses, I know -- what is important and valuable art (and certainly the same can be said for cinema).
But I'm getting beside the point. My personal exposure to and attitude towards art (specific works, the concept of art, the branding of art, whatever) is not important. All I mean to do is point out my background before admitting that in spite of my cultured and contemplative existence, I still never really pondered some of the most interesting issues about art, which are raised by the documentaries I mention above -- and boy do I love a film that makes me completely rethink a topic or issue -- and I doubt most basic and casual art appreciators have either.
As I wrote a few weeks ago, The Art of the Steal is a very one-sided doc, aligned with a group of devoted artists and scholars in their fight against evil bureaucrats and rich, snobby types over the control of one dead man's enormous and very valuable art collection. The works were compiled mostly in the early 20th century by the wealthy pharmaceutical developer Albert C. Barnes while he was, as the film implies, one of the few Americans to actually appreciate contemporary artists such as Matisse, Renoir, Cezanne and Picasso.
And Barnes alone knew the best way -- aesthetically, educationally and rebelliously -- how and for what purpose these works should be seen (Matisse supposedly concurred). They certainly weren't to leave their home, an estate set up as an educational Foundation outside of Philadelphia, especially not for commercial exploitation. And none of the collection was to be viewed by the aristocratic elite, members of which only suddenly took an interest in modern art once it was deemed socially and critically accepted. Unfortunately for Barnes' legacy, over the course of the sixty years since his death, the Foundation and its art collection have in fact been moved and been taken over by the very sort of people he despised.
Mostly this "scandal of the modern art world" story concerns an issue of wills and trusts (seeing it just after J.D. Salinger died made me fear the author will be similarly violated). And my primary reason for being such a big fan of The Art of the Steal that it contains an arousing David versus Goliath narrative with a fascinating ensemble of protagonists -- my favorite being art dealer Richard Feigen, who's one of the most awesome snobs I've ever seen -- and villains. To get an idea of how these villains come across in the movie, try to imagine that The Art of the Steal is a video game, in which the size and difficulty of the bad guys are increased with each level.
So the issues and questions concerning the art world, particularly with regards to how money affects it, are sort of a bonus -- at least for me. I was particularly drawn to the way Argott brings up or broadens the argument on some of these issues through the tiered presentation of the Foundation's enemies. After a lower-level threat or conflict is surpassed, relativity and perspective come into play and throw a wrench into the simplicity of the debate. For instance, former Barnes Foundation president Richard Glanton, who sent the collection out into the world on its first tour, and Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, are each separately first depicted as threats and antagonists to Barnes' wishes and the Foundation in general. But ultimately they come across more favorably and justified as protectors, or at least the better of evils, in relation to the film's final villains.
Yet as much as I keep referring to the conclusive bad guys as such, this is purely in narrative and subjective terms. In some ways -- and this is why I can't stop thinking about this movie -- the people violating Barnes' will and legacy are heroes for the works themselves. Yes, I'll admit it: I'd like to see some of the paintings in Barnes' collection. And yes, I'll agree that the decision to move the art to another location, for commercial exploitation, may be great for the preservation and appreciation of the pieces in the long run. To me, though, it's like the debate about zoos, in which I also tend to have trouble taking a clear side. Are zoo's good for the preservation of animal species? But are they also cruel and exploitive prisons for these living creatures? Sure, sure.
This pro and con struggle with the Barnes Foundation and the art world in general is a contemplation that will continue racking my brain for a long time, joining these other favorite art world debates from documentaries: Does it matter who painted something, whether a master or a four-year-old or her father or whomever, if you the resultant work is great -- or, more importantly if you like it? (again, see My Kid Could Paint That) Is a piece of art only valuable because the art experts say it is, and more specifically is a Pollack a Pollack because art historians and dealers know it to be, and anything lost in the shuffle of history -- due to poor or lack of cataloguing -- and possibly found for sale for a mere $5 at a tag sale, is -- even if indeed painted by Pollack -- by technicality, worthless as a result? (again, see Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollack).
By all means comment with your answers to these questions or your thoughts on the issues, but only as they relate to the films I mention (this is not Artimatical; it's a movie blog). I'd prefer that we discuss the subgenre of art world films (are there any others you recommend?), their specific issues and how they're presented or discussed. And again, go watch The Art of Steal on VOD asap!

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A man was arrested for breaking into a Chipotle restaurant in Natomas on Friday morning.
At around 5 a.m., a man smashed through the front window of the restaurant, went inside and began trying to open a safe behind the front counter, say police. The man was able to cut through the safe, but didn't take any contents.
During the break-in, the man tripped a silent alarm.
"As we get here, we see a broken window," said Sacramento Police Department Ofc. David Eagleton. "The officer I'm partnered with, he looks in there, sees a guy hiding behind the counter."
The man suddenly ran across Truxel Road to a gas station where he fell on the floor and surrendered to officers.
"He tires out, falls on the ground, and we get him into custody, so that's a good day for us," said Eagleton.
The window was repaired and the restaurant opened back up for business on Friday.
"I think it was a crime of opportunity," said Asst. General Manager Taylor Pacera. "They came in looking for something and they found something better. They really didn't walk away with anything."
The suspect is identified as 38-year-old Lejeun Johnson. He faces charges of burglary and being in possession of burglary tools.

Moseley Braun Drops Out
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Online NewsHour Special Reports: Vote 2004 Democratic Primaries
- Vote 2004: Carol Moseley Braun Biography
- Vote 2004: The Iowa Caucuses
- Take the Vote-by-Issues Quiz to find out which candidates you agree with on the issues
- Jan. 15, 2004: Carol Moseley Braun ended her candidacy for president and endorsed former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
- Jan. 9, 2004: Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean
GWEN IFILL: First, a look at the political landscape in Iowa, given Carol Moseley Braun's withdrawal and other developments. We get that from Adam Nagourney, the New York Times chief political writer.
GWEN IFILL: Adam, we just heard from Carol Moseley Braun and Howard Dean. We know that she didn't make that big an impact in this race during the time she was in, at least the polls indicate that. So what is the significance of endorsement like that?
ADAM NAGOURNEY: I don't think it has much significance in Iowa. As you say, Gwen, she didn't have much of an impact here at all. She appeared in debates, she didn't campaign that much. But I do think it's important up the road in states like South Carolina, where there will be a heavy, we expect, vote by black Democrats. Not that she's particularly well known or popular in that state, but she's a validator. So when you have a situation like, for example, Rev. Sharpton's questioning Dr. Dean's commitment to affirmative action or hiring minorities when he was governor of Vermont, to have her appear with him I think is a help.
So I do think this is a fairly significant endorsement. The other thing that seems to me is that you do get the sense of a movement of people towards Dr. Dean in that. Keep in mind this happens after Bill Bradley endorsed him, after Al Gore endorsed him and after Tom Harkin, who was standing in the shot with them, endorsed him as well.
GWEN IFILL: Which brings me to my next question about this: You see these series of endorsements, which is very interesting, but they all often come after the Dean campaign has sustained some bout of bad news.
ADAM NAGOURNEY: Yeah, you know, I have to assume that there's some — I don't mean this in a bad way — but some orchestration going on here. There has been a series of episodes where things have been going on, which are arguably not good for the Dean campaign and they pulled out of their pocket an endorsement or something that's trumped the news. And you'll find that, in an effective campaign, a good campaign tends to do that.
For example, yesterday the story was Richard Gephardt, one of the other Democrats, attacking Dean pretty brutally on a on a whole range of issues having to do with Medicare, for example. And you know, the front page. Des Moines Register this morning wasn't about that. It was a big picture of Dr. Dean with the headline about Dean and Carol Moseley Braun. And this is not the first time it's happened.
GWEN IFILL: So Dr. Dean says he's been treated like a pin cushion and he is going to fight back. We hear — you mentioned that Dick Gephardt is doing his own fighting back. Who's punching harder right now in this?
ADAM NAGOURNEY: The way things are … I don't want to, I want to stress to you — it's very fluid as these candidates change their strategies from hour to hour. But right now you have a split among the four major candidates. You have starting with John Edwards, who's used the Mr. Nice Guy approach to make a lot of progress here. And now, from what we're hearing Senator Kerry is also becoming Mr. Nice Guy, too, on the trail.
Whereas at the other side, you have Dean and Gephardt hitting very hard. Dean has returned to the themes that got him where he was, the Washington insider versus outsider, notwithstanding the fact that he seems to some ways be becoming the candidate of the Washington insiders, hitting the war issue very hard. Gephardt is attacking Dean with a new television commercial that went on the air as well today. Medicare and a number of issues, I think gun control certainly in a speech yesterday I forgot whether it was in the ad — but issues where Dean has, as we say, evolved positions, as Gephardt has also over the years.

It is a rare thing to see a developer owned by one of the major platform holders creating games for another major platform holder, but in the case of Microsoft's Twycross-based studio, it is also a Rare thing. Since being acquired by Microsoft, Rare had returned to their old Nintendo stomping grounds on the DS with Diddy Kong Racing DS, a remake of one of their Nintendo 64 titles, and Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise, an original title. Since then, they have had nothing announced for further development on Nintendo's dual-screened handheld, but that doesn't mean one should count them out just yet. Read More
SEGA is a very weird, wild drug. With so many of their games, it makes one want to swear them off for good, but then you see what they're cooking up next, and it's hard not to get into a state of mind where you're all "Aww, okay... we'll give you one more chance!" Hence, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. It's not new territory for Sonic, as anyone who remembers Sonic Drift can attest, and it seems to be a sort of follow-up to the theme of SEGA Superstars Tennis, as it will be featuring SEGA characters from outside the Sonic franchise, as well as within. Sonic, Tails, Eggman, Amy Rose (in a vehicle similar to her Sonic R car), AiAi, and Amigo are the only five named so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a roster similar to Superstars Tennis by the time it hits shelves. Check out the following trailer to get a taste of what's in store: " Video Games | Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing | European Debut TrailerXBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii ...huh. They didn't focus much on the "All-Stars," did they? Hit the jump for the press release, images from our gallery, and more insight. Read More
As competitors go, few in the industry get along quite as well as Microsoft and Nintendo seem to, perhaps owing in part to the fact they're practically neighbors here in North America. Hence why Rare has managed to produce fare for Nintendo's handhelds, even long after having been purchased by Microsoft. After all, you'd never expect to see Mario or Master Chief on the PSP, would you? However, it seems that the time of seeing Rare's wares on Nintendo handhelds is at an end -- at least, for the moment. Read More
Rare has noticably been reviving a lot of its classic franchises lately. Aside from new IP Viva Pinata, they remade Conker for the original Xbox, launched the 360 with Perfect Dark Zero, are reviving Banjo-Kazooie with Nuts & Bolts, and are even bringing the original N64 game to the Xbox Live Arcade, where it will join Jetpac Refuelled. Oh, and almost forgot Diddy Kong Racing DS. And of course, they wanted to do Goldeneye, but the less said of that, the better. Now, with rumors rumbling about a new Killer Instinct, it seems pretty likely we'll see more Rare revivals, right?"At the moment, probably not," was Miller's reply, when asked whether Rare was planning any more IP revivals. "We've always got to have a reasons to revive a franchise, we don't do games just for the sake of them. We've got to have some valid reasons." ... Still, Miller did offer a small glimmer of hope for long term Rare fans. "We never say never," she added. "Who knows [what will happen] in the future?" -- 360 GamerThat leaves us to wonder what the rumored announcement for next week will entail. Some Rare titles I'd like to see revived: Wizards & Warriors and Battletoads (arcade, not NES). Then again, given what they were going to do to Battletoads, maybe not. Read More
When Eurogamer went to Rare's studios to try the new Viva Piñata: Pocket Party for the Nintendo DS, the UK studio revealed that Microsoft, which may come as a surprise to some, sees their rival's handheld as "a very viable platform," according to engineer Joe Humfrey. This of course helps to explain the ongoing supply of Rare-created titles, including Diddy Kong Racing, for the handheld since being acquired by Microsoft six years ago. Now, with Viva Piñata, it is of greater interest to the corporate giant to see the property on Nintendo's two-screened moneymaker. "They put the Viva Piñata franchise on TV to reach a broad audience, they put it on PC to reach a different broad audience, and they're doing the same thing with the DS," Humfrey said. "They're trying to widen the audience of the franchise, basically." Read More

The Black Church, Homegoing Services and Whitney Houston
On February 18, 2012, the family of Whitney Houston paid their final respects in an invite only, yet televised homegoing service at her home church, New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. Initial reports had said that only BET was covering the full service, but certainly shocking to me, the major cable news networks … Continue reading
For Colored Persons Who Have Considered Suicide When Being "Black In America" Is Enough: An Uppity Negro Response to CNN's Black In America III
I know that's a long title and certainly hyperbolic, but I think it addresses the gutted and eviscerated feeling that I experienced watching CNN's Soledad O'Brien "Almighty Debt" a Black In America special. Granted I went into this third installment of the Black In America series with some serious preconceived notions. Rightly so I believe. … Continue reading

And The Walls Come Tumba'ling Down: The Religious Politics of Eddie Long

MSI's N580GTX HydroGen/OC Card Available on Pre-order
"Leading graphics card and systems' manufacturer MSI is ready with a GeForce GTX 580 graphics card under its HydroGen series."
Published: 3rd February 2011 | Source: TC Magazine |
Leading graphics card and systems' manufacturer MSI is ready with a GeForce GTX 580 graphics card under its HydroGen series. The card is slated for release later in the month and should come overclocked out-of-the-box to appeal to enthusiasts.
According to the report by TC Magazine, the new card is a fully tweaked version of the reference GeForce GTX 580 GPU from NVIDIA. For starters, MSI has upped the clocks on the card to attain running speeds of 823 MHz and 1645 MHz respectively for the core and shader. These are significantly higher than the reference clock speeds of 772 MHz and 1544 MHz respectively. The card comes equipped with 512 CUDA Cores and boasts of 1536MB of GDDR5 VRAM memory on a 384-bit interface, said memory clocked at 4276 MHz.
In addition to being factory overclocked, the MSI N580GTX HydroGen/OC card also sports a big water block. The all-copper cooling system comes with a micro-channel design waterblock that can be instantly connected to an external liquid cooling system. It is claimed that this setup keeps the N580GTX card cooler than the reference models by up to 24 degrees Celsius.
Among other specifications, MSI has gone with 3-way SLI support and provided one 6-pin and one 8-pin connectors for the card's additional power requirements. Also in evidence are PCIe connectors, and two DVI and HDMI outputs each. MSI has started accepting pre-orders for the card in Europe at a price of €563.

Comments about Roxy Evolution Pants - Women's:
I ordered these pants in an xl figuring they would fit because I have a couple pairs of burton pants in xl and I'm swimming in them, but these showed up and they were wayy too small. Fit more like a medium. I ended up gifting them to a friend because I didn't want to pay to ship them back. Total bummer. Not impressed. My gf thinks they are great though.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

YIELD: lots of petits fours
Ingredients6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for baking sheet
1 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for baking sheet
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup almond paste
4 large egg substitutes(use .5 c apple sauce or.5 banana and 1/2 cup blended silken tofu)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup soy milk/soy creamer
1/2 cup cherry preserves, processed in a food processor
Sugar Glaze
Makes 4 1/2 cups
12 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 cup whole milk
Pink gel-paste food coloring
Put sugar into a large bowl. Gradually add milk, whisking until mixture is consistency of heavy cream. Tint with food coloring. If glaze becomes too thick, add more milk; if it becomes too thin, add more sugar. Use immediately
Optional decoration:
Gum paste cherry blossoms, (available at Wendy Kromer Confections)
PreparationPreheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 12-by-17- inch rimmed baking sheet, and line with parchment paper. Butter parchment, and dust with flour, tapping out excess; set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl; set aside.
Put 3/4 cup sugar and the almond paste into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 2 minutes. Raise speed to medium-high. Add butter; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
Put egg whites into the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Fold one-third of egg-white mixture into batter with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture.
Spread evenly into prepared sheet. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to wire rack; let cool completely. Unmold; remove parchment.
Cut cake in half crosswise. Spread one half with preserves; top with remaining half. Refrigerate 1 hour. Trim cake, and cut into 11/2-inch squares. Transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour glaze over each petit four, spreading over top and sides to coat completely. Reuse glaze, straining to remove any solids, if needed. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes. Garnish with blossoms. Cakes can be refrigerated up to 2 days.

Bridging the Skills Gap Published on: 14/11/2013, Last update: 12/12/2013
|Event date:
|03/12 > 03/12/2013
Rue de la Loi 200 - 1000 Brussels - (Belgium)
|Add to your calendar
The seminar will highlight the importance of improving skills and competencies of the tourism industry. It will assess the skills gap from the operators' perspective, discuss how to bridge the divide with academics and understand how the EU is helping to bridge the European tourism skills gap
For European Tourism to remain competitive we must ensure the highest level of skills and competences in the industry. Since over 90% of all tourism enterprises in Europe are SMEs with fewer than 10 employees each, this impacts on the ability of the industry to improve its skills as many operators have neither the time nor finance for formal training.
The topic will be discussed from the different points of view: the role of academia in tourism development, the viewpoint of the practitioners themselves and the Commission's endeavours to help in bridging the skills gap.
The seminar is hosted by the European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry, jointly with the European Travel and Tourism Action Group (ETAG) and the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS).
Participation is free, but registration is mandatory
Registrations for the event are now closed. It is possible to register on-site at the venue of the event, but please consider that we may not guarantee to accommodate all places requests.

Becky Vest's first year at the helm of the Lady Bobcats program was positive and exceptional--posting a 22-8 regular season record, and leading the Lady Bobcats once again into the NAIA Division II National Championship game. Coach Vest, as head coach and eleven-year assistant, has been instrumental in helping the Lady Bobcats become one of the top NAIA programs in the nation, as well as the Midlands Conference. During Coach Vest's tenure as head and assistant coach, the Lady Bobcats have compiled a 352-64 record. The team has been to the national tournament each year and has been an Elite Eight team eight of the last ten seasons, including six trips to the Final Four and five National Tournament Runner-up finishes.
Coach Vest is strongly committed to the mission of the college, striving to recruit student-athletes who meet the standards of the college and can uphold the tradition of the women's basketball program both on and off the court. Coach Vest leads by example and motivates her players to work hard toward achieving the expected level of excellence in the program and the classroom. She played an instrumental role in the team winning the 2011-2012 NAIA Buffalo Funds annual award and What's Right in Sports Award due to their fundraising efforts for the Joplin High School girls basketball program following the devastating Joplin tornado.
Coach Vest played for Coach Wilson for two years after transferring from John Brown University. She graduated from C of O in 2003 cum laude with a double major in secondary education and physical education. Coach Vest completed her master's degree in Physical Education at Missouri State in 2005 and is currently a full-time Assistant Professor in the College's Physical Education Department. She is a graduate of Stoutland High School.
Dave Stallman will serve as the Lady Bobcats' new Assistant Coach for the 2014-2015 season. Stallman, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, replaces Lady Cat record-holder Morgan Smith, who recently moved from the area.
Stallman played basketball at Melhville High School, where he was a High School All American, and then signed with the University of Missouri. He has coached basketball at all levels and worked side by side with many well-known coaches and trainers during his career.
Stallman develops players' strengths and improves their weaknesses so they can become better players, teammates and overall athletes. Coach Stallman also serves as an associate pastor at Sanctuary of Hope in Branson.

I am writing this letter as scribe for my grandchildren's family dog, "Cutie Pie". She is a two-year old Shih Tzu. Amazingly, "Cutie Pie" was the lucky winner of the $1,000 first place price in this years "Adopt a Duck Race", sponsored by the Price Kiwanis Club during Pleasant Valley Days in Scofield.
Our four grandchildren who accompanied us to Scofield insisted we purchase a rubber duck race ticket for their favorite pet. When she won, our grandchildren suggested we donate the entire $1,000 to a "Cutie Pie Dino Mine Children's Park Challenge Fund", which we did the same day.
We would like to encourage all children in Carbon County with pet's to raise money for "Cutie Pies" challenge fund. Perhaps they can sell lemonade, bake cookies, hold raffles, or solicit sponsors for a "Dino Park Cutie Pie" fundraising bike ride, or walk, etc.
We would encourage Carbon County business owners to establish their own "Dino Mine Children's Park Fund". Perhaps my long time friend, State Senator Mike Dmitrich, would head up the business fund raising? He has already served your community well.
"Cutie Pie" and several of our 26 grandchildren are looking forward to attending the children's park.

Guru is the story of an American-born guru who is hired by the Toronto Maple Leafs to provide counseling to their star player (played by Romany Malco). Joining in on the hilarity are Justin Timberlake (as a French Canadian player), The Daily Show's John Oliver as Pitka's assistant, and Jessica Alba as the love interest.
It's going to be strange to watch Myers find his niche in the current crop of R-rated comedies. Myers seems to come from a tradition of 'silly' humor which always speaks to his love of all things English -- you can practically hear the Benny Hill music in the background. Guru is going to be a far cry from the Apatow brand that has permeated comedy at the moment. Since the trailers don't seem to be helping me make up my mind, I guess I'll just have to take my chances on Guru at the box-office.
The Love Guru opens in theaters on June 20th.

Letter: Gen. McCaffrey misunderstood
Doug Hartman, Naples Board Member, Naples Council on World Affairs
McCaffrey misunderstood
On Feb. 4 and 5, Gen. Barry McCaffrey, U.S. Army (Retired), visited Naples to address the Naples Council on World Affairs and the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) students of Collier County.
Ryan Toohey, in his Feb. 6 report in the Daily News, stated that McCaffrey advised the students "Don't strive for perfection, just do good work."
This statement, taken out of context, leaves the impression that McCaffrey was advocating mediocrity. He was not.
The speech was titled "Leadership in Crisis Situations" and dealt with decision-making under stress in a dynamic environment with imperfect information such as occurs in combat or even in business.
McCaffrey was noting principles that 40 years of experience in the military and government had taught him. He was advocating that a less-than-perfect decision made quickly, so subordinates have time to execute it, is often superior to a "perfect" decision made too late to affect the outcome intended. Leadership in crises is more than making a perfect decision; it's making a timely decision based upon the best information you have available.
We have all experienced indecisiveness of leaders waiting to get perfect data to make a perfect plan/decision, only to see that plan overtaken by events. In the real world of crisis management, perfect information is never available; if you wait to get more, you risk missing the train. This has nothing to do with mediocrity; it has to do with the best decision made under duress in a fast-moving situation with limited information.
I hope the students in the audience recognized McCaffrey's intent, as he further explained in the question-and-answer session following his talk.

Heather in DC – the Links post
Here's the local paper (Salt Lake Tribune; their DC reporter was in the breakout room):
'Dooce' talks health care at White House
Michelle Obama's opening remarks:
Heather's breakout panel:
The President's closing remarks:
I'm so damn proud of Heather I could burst!
You might like:
http://www.greystreetgirl.com greystreetgirl
This is so cool – congrats to you both on the outstanding accomplishment….
BUT, I couldn't read the article because the first word is "Utahn"! Shouldn't it be Utahnites or Utahnians? Utahn just seems so wrong!!! I think they just should have said Salt Lake Citian. That makes way more sense….
http://www.flickr.com/photos/minxlj minxlj
This whole thing is so…well, awesome! Brilliant that Obama is highlighting these issues and bringing together people to discuss and resolve it. Can't wait to see the video of Heather. What does Leta understand of the whole thing? Very proud for you guys!!
http://blurbomat.com/wordpress blurb
Leta knows who the President is but she's just starting to watch the news with us. Leta is most interested in the weather right now.
Flexibility through Regulation!
It is flexibility for _you_. It is less flexibility, much less, for someone else.
You are perfectly capable of taking care of yourselves. Why make yourselves beholden to anyone else?
http://blurbomat.com/wordpress blurb
The Straw Man Cometh.
You and I both know that regulation, on its face, is not bad. Better get used to these sour grapes.
I should know, I ate them for eight years. 😉
Lucy mom
I am currently on medical leave (I work for one of those flexible employers) so I was able to watch the entire forum… I had four colleagues participating in different breakouts so I was bouncing around the breakouts to catch them and other folks I know. I did see Heather but didn't catch her speaking unfortunately. You are right to be so proud she was included in this historic event. Finally, we have ladership that understands how important it is to be able to succeed at work and take care of our families at the same time.
OK, my burning question; Did Heather purposely sit on that side in the front row to get to shake the President hand when he came down? And, did it work?
Very cool that she got to go. You gotta be a proud spouse.
http://sickerthanothers.com Summer
This is great. I'm excited for you on a lot of levels.
Having watched all three videos, I want to climb the rooftop (again) and shout "THANK GOD, THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN POWER!"
Articulate, open-minded, inquisitive, good at listening, innovative, educated, enlightened and articulate is a huge change from the bush-clearing, lazy, idiotic, heckovajob, criminal asshole that used to (and I still can't believe it) be President.

In this lesson, students identify and describe unfamiliar scientist heroes who contributed to the field of science until the year 1929. Students create a T-square graphic organizer about a specific group of women scientists of the Harvard College... (View More) Observatory (a T-square is provided that has Facts Learned on one side and Big Ideas or Contributions on the other).
