doesn't the Murdoch family own 80% of the voting (class B) shares? if so, the article MIGHT mention the futility of ISS's recommendation.
Good point, Ahm. The Murdochs control roughly 40% of the voting stock, which means any vote against the directors is a symbolic protest vote at best. We will update the post with the information.

Like all the other prospects who have gathered at the Westin Bristol Place for the 2009 NHL Scouting Combine, Tavares is meeting with teams and soon will go through medical, physical and psychological testing.
While most players see this as the first step into a new life, for Tavares, it's more like the culmination of four years of preparation.
"I can't believe it's been four years," Tavares told NHL.com. "There's been times where you think four years is a long time, but it's gone by pretty quick. I had so much fun playing junior in London, and Oshawa especially. I played with some great players, had some great teammates and now I get to go through this experience and be rewarded for 15, 16 years of hard work I've put into playing hockey."
Tavares first achieved attention as a 14-year-old, when he became the first player granted "exceptional player" status and was the first pick of the Ontario Hockey League draft a year ahead of his age group.
"Feels like yesterday I was getting the call and meeting Mr. John Davies, who was the owner in Oshawa at the time and the press conference in the Bobby Orr Lounge at the old (Oshawa) Civic Center," Tavares said. "It's been a long time, been a lot of ups and downs and things I've gone through, lot of things I learned."
He made his OHL debut three days after his 15th birthday, broke Wayne Gretzky's record by scoring 72 goals at age 16, and posted league-leading totals of 58 goals and 104 points this season, which he split between Oshawa and London. He finished his OHL career with a league-record 215 goals.
Tavares also won back-to-back World Junior Championship gold medals. At the 2009 event in Ottawa, he was second in the tournament in scoring with 15 points in six games and was named the competition's MVP and best forward. His 12 career WJC goals tie him with Eric Lindros and Jeff Carter for most career goals by a Canadian.
All that is in the past, however, and Tavares is focusing on the future. That starts with the combine. Tavares will interview with 19 teams during his stay in Toronto; while those interviews can be nerve-wracking, Tavares said he's enjoying meeting every one of his potential employers.
"When I was accepted into the OHL, the whole year no one was really scouting me or interviewing me because it wasn't my draft year yet," he said. "I was accepted (to the OHL) late, right before the draft, so I never got to go see the cities or meet the GMs or the scouts. So I get to experience that now and it's pretty cool."
It only looks to get cooler for Tavares, who almost certainly will be a top-two selection when the teams meet in Montreal June 26-27 for the 2009 Entry Draft. While rumors fly and speculation swirls about which team will take him and where, Tavares is comfortable enjoying the ride.
"It's an exciting time and I can't wait for draft day," he said. "I'm going to enjoy this time now because it's going to be a big change in my life. I'm very thankful for this opportunity I've been given."

Pete Townsend is one of my guitar heroes. I was captivated by his diverse style when I was young. He was both the driving electric guitarist behind Baba O'Reilly and the fast handed man on the acoustic for Pinball Wizard. As I moved through to adulthood and he moved to a solo career I remained bound to his music. I began to understand the magnitude of his talent more and more in my review of his work with The Who, especially the development of rock operas like Tommy and in make up and lyrics of his solo albums. He is an artist of substantial merit and talent but also a man that created and then dealt with substantial life problems.
My life challenges pale in the face of drug addiction but I am struck by the lyrics of this title song in their straight forward approach to life's everyday push backs.
You can't always have it
When you really want it
Today is Friday and I would have liked nothing more than to roll over and turn that alarm off remaining in slumber for at least another hour or so. Such is not my lot, and not a real issue since that sleep will come tonight. Also today is a tricky day. In addition to the instruction of a new sales person and determination of some pay set ups for account managers I have a few family discussions to have. First is with D2 with whom I must discuss her ongoing choices which have devolved to the point of long term, real life difficulty. We aren't at drugs yet, I don't think but the path she is on is not a good one. I need to impress upon her that I support her but will also not enable a life of uncaring lack of responsibility.
Next discussion is a bit easier but again pretty life changing. B1 is thinking about changing jobs. He has a tenuous existence at his current spot so I am happy that he is potentially moving on but I worry that he might be moving into a new environment less patient that the current. His work takes time and generally has long lead times to see profit. I am hopeful that my counsel will help him get started in the new role with the commitment on both sides to make it work.
Finally, I suggest to my Mom earlier in the week that I would speak to my sister. She and her husband and new baby are moving out of their apartment that was fouled by hurricane Sandy. The have tried to stay and get the landlord to fix deficiencies but are at the end of their rope. As an exit plan they have asked if they could live with our Mom. Great idea for a short time but I think they are looking at a full year. While this is wonderful for grandmother and grandchild in the first year of her life, it also puts three adults at very different stages of life under the same roof in the house of a seventy something year old widow beginning her second year of grieving. And she is definitely still grieving. Today I have to talk to my sister about being a guest in her "own house". She lived in this house before she was married and is very close to our Mom spending lots of time there. The difference now clearly is that they are two families and while we all love each other there are reasons we live under separate roofs.
So it is that I begin my tricky day. At the end, as it is Friday, rest will come and time to recharge will be welcome.
And that makes me happy.

Cable networks have come under fire for interviewing elementary school students who survived the mass shooting their school in Newtown, Connecticut. Ordinary Americans took to Twitter to express their outrage:
"Interviewing kids? Disgusting the level you have stooped," tweeted "Scott" in reply to Katie Couric's announcement that she'd traveled to CT to speak with Sandy Hook students.
"Wolf Blitzer justifies interviewing children by saying their parents are present. Then shame on their parents as well as the reporters," lamented Twitter user Quinn Clark.
CNN's Anderson Cooper took the moral high ground: "In answer to your tweets, no, Of course I will not be interviewing children from the school. I do not think that is appropriate at this time."
Of course, some stories would not become known without hearing from the kids involved. One 8-year-old boy told CBS that his life was saved by a teacher who pulled him away from the gunshots and into an empty classroom.
Poynter's guidelines for interviewing children tells reporters to "minimize harm" and to ask themselves whether questioning a child will cause any harm that could be avoided.Via Twitter.

My dear Willie
I write you a few times just to report progress in the building. This week the roof-framing has been put up, boarded at the top for the lead flat, and the roof of the balcony is also framed. The main water tank is also built and the old gate stopped up & new wall finished. During next week I expect the tiles will be put on the whole of the back of the building & they will begin the foundation, [[2]] of the drawing room.
They rather stupidly began taking the tiles off the back roof over the passage where the new roof will join on to it, & now the rain is coming through & we have to keep a basin in the passage to catch the water.
The engine has come for Jennings'. A little old-fashioned looking thing. It cause as a brick & it took more than a dozen men [[3]] all day to put it off the truck on to the rails. Then it was filled with water & the fire lighted. It smoked horribly, and at last when it started & passed through Jennings' gate they fired a gun, -- & yesterday it was dragging up trucks of pipes.
There is no more news here. I think I told you that Mr Barnes little blind grandson was dead.
I went to see Mr. Sharpe [[4]] on Thursday and spent and hour with him. He looked a trifle better, -- but is so dreadfully weak that it seems very uncertain whether he will get over it. Your letter about the visit to Mr. Liruton's was sufficiently detailed. Write us a similar minute account of a day at the College.
I have nearly used all the stones and want some more!
Your affectionate Papa | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Jurssic eyes -
By: Gofish72 from Northern Ca.
The worst packaging ever. The eyes came loose from the paper that was glued to the bag causing difficulty in getting the eyes out of the bag. As for the eyes they are the perfect size for the barbell eyes I use. Use supper glue or UV light type glue to make sure the eyes stay in place.
Great eyes for saltwater -

I've been using these eyes for my saltwater flies in particular large bait fish patterns for GTs. Great eyes and finish off a fly to nicely. Caught my first GT on a fly with a tan fly and green Jurassic eyes this last March.. Very happy boy.
Flies must have eyes -

I tie as many of my flies as possible with eyes, these are terrific. They are extremely realistic, not to mention the price was exceptional at the sale outlet.
Jurassic Eyes -

Very realistic and price is great! Should really help streamers in larger sizes & larger nymphs in the smaller sizes.
Super realistic eyes! -
By: ogouveia from MA
These eyes are great, very realistic and they provide a good amount of flash to your fly!
great color contrast -
By: Kamper from chicagoland
make sure to measure so you have the right size if you plan to place them on dumbell eyes. These are very life like and should dress up any fly

IN RE: Robert M. Vanderford/Fulton County Coroner
Mr. Robert M. Vanderford, Manager of Vanderford Funeral Home in South Fulton, Tennessee, challenges the Fulton County Coroner's denial of his June 13, 1994, open records request to inspect and copy the Desmond Brown autopsy report prepared by the coroner in April, 1994. Mr. Joe Cole, Fulton County Coroner, denied Mr. Vanderford's request on June 16, 1994, advising him that "there is an on going [sic] criminal investigation against an individual who is alleged to have taken the life of Mr. Brown." It was therefore his position that KRS 61.878(1)(g) excludes the report from the mandatory disclosure provisions of the Open Records Law until the investigation is completed. Mr. Cole explained that an indictment has been issued in the case, and that it is expected to go to trial in late 1994. He advised Mr. Vanderford that the autopsy report would be available at the conclusion of the trial, or when all appeals had been exhausted.
We are asked to determine if the Fulton County Coroner properly relied on KRS 61.878(1)(g) in denying Mr. Vanderford request for a copy of the Desmond Brown autopsy report. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the Coroner properly denied the request.
KRS 61.878(1)(g) authorizes the nondisclosure of:
Records of law enforcement agencies or agencies involved in administrative
adjudication that were compiled in the process of detecting and investigating statutory or regulatory violations if the disclosure of the information would harm the agency by revealing the identity of informants not otherwise known or by premature release of information to be used in a prospective law enforcement action or administrative adjudication. Unless exempted by other provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884, public records exempted under this provision shall be open after enforcement action is completed or a decision is made to take no action[.]
The Attorney General has consistently recognized that a coroner's autopsy report is exempt from the requirement of mandatory public disclosure under this exception, when criminal prosecution is contemplated, until that prosecution is concluded. When the prosecution is commenced, the coroner must retain all evidentiary materials, as well as reports of examination, "until their production in evidence is required by the prosecuting authority . . . ." KRS 72.020(2).
Mr. Cole indicates that an indictment has been issued in this case, and that criminal proceedings are imminent. It is the opinion of this Office that he was therefore warranted in his decision to withhold the autopsy report from Mr. Vanderford.
Mr. Vanderford may challenge this decision by initiating action in the appropriate circuit court. Pursuant to KRS 61.880(3), the Attorney General should be notified of
any action in circuit court, but should not be named as a party in that action or in any subsequent proceedings.
Distributed to:
Mr. Joseph Cole
Fulton County Coroner

DENVER — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Colorado sheriffs suing the state over new firearm restrictions dont have standing to proceed with the case as a group, but the legal battle is far from over.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger in Denver doesnt stop the lawsuit because 21 other plaintiffs who are suing do have standing. The court still will consider whether a law that bans ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds is constitutional, the judge said.
At this juncture, the court is not even considering whether the challenged portions of the laws are constitutional, Krieger said.
Sheriffs in most of Colorados 64 counties filed the lawsuit in May, saying the new regulations violate the Second Amendment. The sheriffs are elected and represent rural, gun-friendly parts of the state.
In her ruling, Krieger said sheriffs still can choose to join the suit in an individual capacity, and theyll have 14 days to make that decision. But they cannot, as a group, sue the state in their official capacities.
If individual sheriffs wish to protect individual rights or interests they may do so however, the sheriffs have confused their individual rights and interests with those of the county sheriffs office, Krieger said.
Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith sent a message out on his Facebook page indicating that the group would do just that.
Rest assured, I anticipate 55 Sheriffs refiling in our personal capacity next week! Smiths Facebook page read Wednesday afternoon.
The remaining plaintiffs include individuals and various gun groups.
The law that took effect July 1 was among a package of gun control legislation passed in response to mass shootings last year at a suburban Denver movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.
Sheriffs in most of Colorados 64 counties filed a lawsuit in May.
The laws sparked a furor from gun rights activists and Republican lawmakers who unanimously opposed the legislation. The laws also prompted the successful recall of two Democratic state senators in September, and a third senator resigned Wednesday while signatures to force another recall still were being collected.
Krieger also ruled in favor of part of the technical guidance that the state offered to implement the law when it comes to what it means for a magazine to be readily convertible. The guidance outlined that magazines that have removable baseplates wont be considered part of the ban and wont be seen as being adaptable to hold more rounds than what the law allows.
Other technical guidance the state offered still can be challenged, Krieger ruled.
We are pleased that the court recognized that many of the plaintiffs had no standing to bring this case and that our interpretation of the law is proper, said Carolyn Tyler, a spokeswoman with the Colorado attorney generals office, which is representing the state in the lawsuit.
We hope to have the important constitutional question that remains resolved quickly and properly, Tyler said.
Richard Westfall, one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs, said he was heartened that the judge will allow the sheriffs to participate in the lawsuit as individuals if they want.
He also said he hopes the laws still can be overturned.
The two laws are still subject to being challenged on constitutional grounds, Westfall said.

electric guitars cheap
You may think getting electric guitars cheap means trading off quality for savings.
The trick, however, is to trade off very little quality and get lots of savings.
These three electric guitar models are high-quality, very playable, great sounding models that you can get for very low prices.
You're trading off so little you may feel like you're taking advantage of someone.
Epiphone LP Special II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar
The lowest priced of our trio, the Epiphone Les Paul Special II gives you the shape of a Les Paul for a much lower price. And the sunburst color is as classic as that iconic body style....
Featuring double-waxed open-coil Alnico V humbucking pickups plus the Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece you'll see so often in your playing career, this model matches the old-school sound of a Les Paul too -- and its amazing sustain.
It has a 14-degree angled headstock that makes the sustain possible and also helps you tune easier.
And since there's no tremolo, there's no re-stringing problems.
It's quality at the lowest possible price.
Squier by Fender BulletStrat with Tremolo
The Fender Bullet Strat with tremolo makes a great choice for guitar students and other beginners.
With the look of a Stratocaster, the BulletStrat has a humbucker pickup at the bridge and two additional single coil pickups.
A five-way switch gives you complete control of which you use, giving you a variety of sound choices from one guitar.
This model from Fender's budget brand Squier has a maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard and 21 frets.
You can't get more guitar for the price.
Epiphone G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar
This is a high end affordable guitar.
With a mahogany neck glued into its cherry or ebony finished mahogany body, this Epiphone model cost a bit more than our other choices, but it's worth it.
It duplicates the 1962 SG, and since it's from Epiphone, a Gibson company, you know you're getting quality here too.
Its hallmarks are power and sustain.
Also featuring the 14-degree angled headstock and the double-waxed pickups, this model has chrome hardware and a rosewood fretboard.
It also has ornate but tasteful trapezoid inlays, letting you know it's something special.
You won't be disappointed by it since the upgraded look carries over to an upgraded feel. It's an awesome value, and how many things can you say that about?
In fact, none of our trio will disappoint you. You'll only be disappointed if you wait any longer to make your choice.
Now's the time to get yourself a cheap electric guitar that you can still be proud of -- without any big tradeoffs.

Casa Rural Las Chimeneas
Mairena, La Alpujarra, Spain
Delectable, relaxing guesthouse and casitas in a village at the eastern end of La Alpujarra, reachable from Granada and Almeria - an ideal base for hiking
You probably won't have heard of the tiny village of Mairena
on the southern flank of the Sierra Nevada, just a few miles from
where Gerard Brennan wrote 'South from Granada'.
You're as likely to encounter a donkey as you are a car on
your way to the village square: that fabled 'old' Spain
is still alive and kicking. Emma and David, entranced by the
sweeping views to the south, bought a huge village house and
adjacent buildings here and have created a harmonious, organic and
soothing series of living spaces and rooms that strike
just the right balance between authenticity and comfort.
Light floods into the living/dining room through high windows: the view to the south, out across steeply terraced hillsides to the distant Mediterranean, is enticing. This is the sort of place where you slow down, pick up the novel you've been meaning to read, and fantasise about making that move to Spain. Fabulous hikes go straight out from the house; you can book an all-inclusive week with local transport and route maps. And even if walking isn't your thing, this is a great place to kick back.
Reviewed by Guy Hunter Watts
- This 800-year-old house breathes simple, solid comfort, it feels good to be here
- The food is really varied, and the excellent Alpujarran cooking means vegetarians are in for a treat
- Blissfully quiet Mairena is far less touristy than some other villages in the Alpujarra
- Emma and David are relaxed, caring hosts who have all the maps and documentation you'll need for a blissful week of exploration. You'll enjoy your stay more at La Chimeneas thanks to their help and advice
- Mairena is well off the beaten track and you'll need a car to get the most out of a stay here. But its isolation is a big part of the attraction
- Don't expect much in the way of gadgetry; this is a simple B&B and has no pretensions to provide the sort of creature comforts that you'd expect in a hotel
- In the colder months the combination of radiators and woodburners only just manages to keep the cold at bay
The atmosphere that the whole house seems to breathe is one of wholesome, uncluttered simplicity...Small Hotels & Inns of AndaluciaCasa Rural Las Chimeneas: Read more press reviews

ONSET — Beachgoers hoping to soak in the sun this summer can now rest easy. "Doug," Cape Cod's official quahog and meteorological soothsayer, predicted an impressive 93.6 beach days this season during the 6th Annual Quahog Day ceremony.
"The only dark and stormys will be at the bars," Doug the Quahog whispered into the ear of his longtime human sidekick and interpreter, Johnny Quahog, also known as Erik Bevans of Bourne. Johnny Quahog is, so it's said, the only known human who is able to converse in the secret language of the quahog bivalve.
"I was a lost soul before I found Doug, and now that I've found someone that I can truly communicate with, my life has been fulfilled," Bevans said.
A crowd of onlookers eagerly watched as the hard-shelled mollusk arrived at the ceremony aboard Hy-Line Cruises' Viking vessel with an escort from the harbormaster, complete with water cannons. Doug and Johnny then debarked, accompanied by a clam rake-wielding Quahog Security Detail, headed this year by Ben Sargent, cookbook author and host of the Cooking Channel's "Hook, Line & Dinner."
The Buzzards Bay Buccaneers, a swashbuckling cohort of Cape residents clad in pirate garb, were also present at the ceremony shooting off celebratory cannons to greet Doug and his entourage upon their arrival. Susan Tran, reporter for 7News Boston, emceed the event.
"How could you beat spending the first day of summer here?" Tran said. With Doug's past forecast predictions being near perfect, the quahog gives the 7News meteorologists a run for their money, according to Tran.
The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce established Quahog Day in 2009 as a fun way to promote the area, according to CEO Wendy Northcross. The "Doug the Quahog" ceremony was inspired by the inundation of calls that the Chamber of Commerce receives every winter regarding the upcoming summer weather.
"Quahog Day was born on a cold day in February six years ago, and we've been having fun with it ever since," Northcross said.
As for Doug the Quahog, the next 13 weeks of summer will be spent socializing at local jaunts and finding time out of the limelight to meditate under the mud of Cape beaches. For a little bivalve with big dreams and a special gift, Doug the Quahog couldn't ask for a better way to ring in the summer season, according to Bevans. "Doug loves it, he thrives on it. This is a dream come true for him," Bevans said.

German car manufacturers have overtaken the Japanese as the most innovative, according to John Tearle of research consultancy Incite
Innovation is driven by the power of leadership, and the car in front is a BMW
Our research, conducted amongst 3,500 UK consumers across seven sectors including over 30 automotive brands, uncovers valuable insights for product and brand managers in the automotive sector which can help them understand what their brands need to do to get to the top.
In this article we will explore six of the key insights from the research.
1. To succeed in the UK market automotive brands have to be seen as innovative
Unlike other sectors, where innovation primarily provides an opportunity to differentiate, in the automotive sector it is essential that consumers see your brand as innovative in order to have a right to play in the market. Over 70% of UK consumers claim it is a key purchase driver, making it a hygiene factor alongside great value for money, quality products and being a trusted brand, and considerably more important than being committed to the environment / sustainability (59%), recommended by experts (52%) or a premium brand (36%).
2. New technology is not enough, you have to inspire the consumer
Whilst a number of elements contribute to innovation perceptions, for automotive brands 61% of the perception is driven by leadership; more than any other sector. Put simply – manufacturers who are seen to lead the market are the ones likely to see greater sales.
So what is leadership? In the eyes of the car buyer innovative leaders are the brands first to market with the best new cars, which not only push the boundaries of technology but, crucially, use technological innovation to inspire the consumer with something genuinely new and different that offers a clear benefit.
3. Great product features and inspiring communication are also essential
Two pillars need to support leadership to promote an innovative image i) relevant, easy to use features and services, and ii) great marketing that inspires consumers to find out more by communicating in new and different ways and generating buzz. These can be used to great effect; although Ford is not seen as a leader, being recognised for having great products supported by strong communications means it is the only US manufacturer to be recognised as an innovation leader by UK consumers.
4. The German giants are overtaking the Japanese and US brands
Incite's research produced a league table of the most innovative brands across seven sectors in the UK, including rankings within sector. Tracking the results over time we see that BMW has done a fantastic job, jumping seven places to the 20th most innovative brand overall, and number one in automotive. Meanwhile Honda has dropped ten places from 20th to 30th overall and is now 4th in automotive when it was once number 1. The full list of automotive brands featuring in the top 50 is below:
1. BMW (20th overall)
2. Ford (23rd)
3. Audi (29th)
4. Honda (30th)
5. Toyota (31st)
6. Mercedes Benz (34th)
5. Honda teaches us that dreams are only powerful if they reach the consumer
The impact of Honda's 'Power of Dreams' campaign has faded over time. Its leadership and communications are not seen as keeping pace with the leading German manufacturers in the eyes of the consumer.
While Honda is still recognised for pushing the boundaries of technology and science, the brand is failing to get great new ideas to market first or launch as many new and different products as its German competitors. BMW and Audi are leading the way - BMW with its 'i' range of electric cars and recently refreshed range, and Audi with its continued market expansion – from the entry level 1 series through to the Q and R series.
Furthermore, despite a legacy of great/innovative advertising, Honda is not the only one doing this nowadays. The German giants are actually doing just as well with consumers seeing them similarly in terms of communicating in new and different ways. Audi in particular is recognised for its online presence – from websites and social networks, to viral videos that remind us of what made the Honda ads of yester-year so great. Honda has lost one of its key points of differentiation.
6. There is still all to play for
There is a glimmer of hope for the Japanese brands. BMW may be leading automotive today, but it is still 20th overall – there is plenty more room between it and the ceiling. It's clear that the Japanese and American manufacturers need to work hard to regain lost ground, but if they can look beyond the factory floor and inspire the consumer they can lead again. If they can beat Tesla to it …
Readers' comments (7)
At the risk of being accused of 'party-pooping' is there anything really important in what this piece says. How for instance would a UK car manufacturer use this data to improve? Unfortunately it appears to me that once again our nation leads the world in reports, analysis, commentary, talk, discussion, review, pointing out weakness (with a barely hidden jeer, sneer, leer? - the list goes on) on Engineering related topics and not a single word of all this will advance our Nation's affairs by one penny piece.
Big Bang shows for school children to learn about our profession- all highly laudable- BUT as long as the 'shams' are paid (and recognised in the meja!) at the obscene rates they are for manipulating man's laws to the benefit of the highest payer -unlike us who manipulate Nature's to the benefit and value of all...nothing can change. Why should it?

Great article!
In response to Mike's comment, I'm not sure the objective of the article was to provide advice to (e.g.) UK car manufacturers.
That said, some of these insights might well be useful to such companies, as they outline trends in market success factors.
Fellow bloggers might enjoy a recent letter to the Times:
Dear Sir,
* Big Bang Exhibition at NEC to encourage school children to study Science/Engineering and join the real wealth-creating economy[average salary for graduates £34,000 pa]
* Bloody Sunday inquiry cost £119 million and took 12 years [whatever happened to its value Engineering and efficiency]
* QC is to be paid ( at a reduced rate?) of £3,000 per hour to find out if Libor rates were 'fixed' by Bank of England Staff in cahoots with other banks?
* Defense Barristers and solicitors on strike for more pay? [apparently trying to correct or cover-up the prosecuting lawyers errors is worth more that £68,000 pa ie X2 of normal Engineers salaries
Four recent articles in the Times:
just who is trying to pull the wool over who's eyes?
As long as this legal 'free-for-all' goes unchallenged, who should any youngster (guided by their parents, school or whatever) wish to be any part of the real economy.
Wake me up when sanity returns, if it ever does or will

Hi Mike,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This is a valid and important question – how can the manufacturing industry use this data to advance? I think my recommendations would change depending on the manufacturer I was talking to, which is why the article is designed to share industry insights rather than specific recommendations. That said, I have put a couple of top-level thoughts below.
Overall - I think it is very encouraging to see that consumers really do care about innovation, and so the efforts of the engineer are valued. However, given the feedback we get from consumers, the trick is delivering new technologies in a way that the wider population can comprehend and engage with. With that in mind I think there are three actions that manufacturers could take as a result of the data shared:
1. Establish a clear goal for any new innovation – take the time to speak to people and understand what we need to develop in order to inspire them and enhance their lives. Only then can we lead the world with impactful innovation. The C5 was way ahead of its time in some regards, but a top speed of 15 mph and overheating when going uphill meant it was doomed to fail from the start – it didn't solve a problem effectively.
2. Keep the end user in mind throughout product development – make sure any new technology is easy for them to use. Simplicity is key. Some of the greatest innovations don't actually bring any new functionality to the table, they just make is accessible to the masses. The iPhone vs. Windows Mobile is a great example of this, or maybe iDrive vs. CarPlay!
3. Take the time to understand how to communicate new products effectively – develop easy to understand messages that clearly highlight the benefits of our engineering efforts to them. Audi took on the Italian and German supercars by driving a red R8 through Maranello and putting a V10 at full throttle on a dyno, not by explaining how it's Quattro system works or how it's V10 engines were more powerful than Porsches V6 engines.
I hope you find this interesting and please do let me know your thoughts …
Mike - Good post. Really highlights some big issues. One point, the average graduate engineer salary is £24k. £34k is more than many senior engineers make! A shocking statistic on its own.
My own view on innovation from car companies. It is a way of differentiating their products and I think their customers really appreciate it. I also believe marketing plays a big part of this.
Dear JT,
I must confess to being a 'bit' far-out in my comment(s) Be assured that having taught marketing to Engineering/Textile students at several universities I endorse what you say. My concern as always is that the message is not getting through to the right (even the Left!) elements of our society: and particularly to those at the summit.
I am not sure who's comment it is, but "if the marketing is good, the sales department can be reduced to a single girl at the switchboard with a pad & pencil" and I believe we all recognise what is being suggested.
In the 70s (I am that old!) I did some consultancy for the World Bank in Washington [1818 H st!) They had a raft of economists advising that the way to improve the economies of developing nations was 'to increase the production of textiles and take-up of fabric and garments. They wanted to increase the 'average' annual personal usage of textiles in the Third World -from about 5 metres squared to 8...by offering loans and expertise to install and operate the full range of textile processes locally.
I asked a simple question of a very senior economist: "when did you (or your partner) personally buy some underpants because you had not bought enough this year already!" Collapse of stout party!
We buy clothing (and just about everything else) because we want it, not because we need it! And it is the creation of that demand within an individual person -aspirational, personal, social, even a bit of keeping up with the Jones's that does this. In 1970 I spent 6 weeks in Kursk, USSR doing technical service on textile machinery (supplied by my US employer) The Soviet authorities had decided (as it was the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth) that they would flood the shops with clothing to show that they could supply the 'needs' of the average citizen. They too failed to differentiate between needs and wants.
I used to use the analogy (or is it a simile, I am but a simple Engineer) that if someone really WANTS a Rolls Royce they will somehow find a means of paying for it! And surely the same applies to all consumer related products.
Best wishes
Mike B
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
My hope is that the insights presented here are useful to the relevant decision makers, and that some of them may read this piece.
The automotive industry is evolving rapidly. In part due to natural competition but also due to increasing pressures from external forces - primarily depleting natural resources. In such an environment we will see peoples' wants and needs evolve rapidly as well.
Hopefully keeping track of public opinion can help to guide the automotive industry in the right direction - driving blind will get us nowhere.
Best regards

My research program at UT is focused on the isolation of bioactive natural products from terrestrial and marine sources. In particular, we are interested in natural products that possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. We incorporate a multidiscipline approach with students possessing skills in the areas of molecular biology, microbiology and chemistry. View website.
Potent bioactive compounds are being isolated from marine microbes that are found in ocean sediment samples as well as those that are associated with marine invertebrates such as sponges, soft corals and tunicates. The pure microbial isolates are identified via molecular taxonomy and those which display good anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and/or antitumor activities are grown in large scale liquid fermentations. The fermentations are extracted and concentrated to yield crude extracts. These extracts are purified on silica gel and HPLC to afford pure compounds. The characterization of these compounds (including their relative and absolute stereochemistry determination) is accomplished through one- and two- dimensional NMR as well as other spectroscopic and chemical means. The semi-synthesis and optimization of lead bioactive compounds are conducted by chemical and biochemical means where possible.
Biologically active analogs are being generated by the microbial bioconversion of their parent congeners via a variety of fungi. Presently, new analogs from the biotransformation of the chemopreventive agent curcumin and the anticancer compound formestane by the microorganisms Rhizopus oryzae and Beauveria bassiana respectively have been isolated.
Current work includes the isolation of bioactive toxins from saprophytic fungi that has shown to reduce the incidence of the citrus diseases Alternaria brown spot and melanose.

US Registrar Yanks WikiLeaks Domain
Registrar EveryDNS.net Ousts WikiLeaks, Citing DDoS Attacks
As of 11:00 PM EST Friday December 3, the following Domains/IPs resolve to WikiLeaks. Your mileage may vary, try other URLs or IPs if the first doesn't work.
WikiLeaks.org was rendered unusable this morning and the site's alternative domain name, WikiLeaks.ch, was also downed in the afternoon (though later resolved), following a move by EveryDNS.net to remove the domains from its service.
The downings have made the site somewhat difficult to access during the day, but an updated list of known, working domain names and IP addresses will be kept at the top of this article to provide access to the site's information as it faces a growing backlash. IP addresses do not rely on any third party domain name service and should be considered the most reliable, albeit less convenient ways to get to the site.
EveryDNS.net is a free DNS service provider based in New Hampshire, and insisted its decision to remove WikiLeaks' domains was strictly due to their inability to safely handle the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against the site without risking all the other domains they manage. They insisted they don't have any political problems with WikiLeaks.
This is in stark contrast to Amazon.com's decision to remove the site's content in the wake of a threat by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I – CT), as Amazon insisted that they were easily able to cope with the DDoS and simply decided that WikiLeaks puts people at risk.

This is it folks. This is the epochal battle of our times. The outcome will define freedom, such as it is, for decades to come.
"Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty. "
– James Madison
Except the internet doesn't work that way. That is why the internet is a threat to the Powers That Be. The information is out there. The website are still up and running. To get rid of the files the government would have to delete the files from every single computer that downloaded it.
"This is it folks. This is the epochal battle of our times. The outcome will define freedom, such as it is, for decades to come. "
Yea I think you're right about that. This is huge.
does any one know if the is a lump file on torrents or something so people can all just start getting the whole thing at once?

There is little use in internet clampdowns by our manipulators, which are like trying to hold water within a tightening fist. What powerbrokers await is a new terrorist attack in the USA to shock & awe us back into censoring our own (and our neighbors') thoughts and words in support of our all-protecting nanny-state.
Good point. The government is not going to allow these leaks to capture the media's attention that much longer. And since the information is trickling down little by little it could be in the public's consciousness for a while. Something has to happen. How can they get Americans focused on what they want Americans to think and worry about? Another false-flag operation carried out supposedly by Osama or maybe Iran. Some aircraft incident, so we really start loving the T&A and submit to even more outrageous abuses by that idiot Pistole?
Someone is doing something about the lies and deceptions conducted by governments.., its militarism regime and how this machinery kills and operates and is not NY Times or LA Times.., or Washington Post and or Dagens Nyheter in Sweden and other News agencies or news papers.., the overwhelming reception and peoples support shows that people are sick and tired of governments and their deceptions and lies and for that.., that someone needs to be applauded by all…
Why does the U.S. hate truth so much? It puts them in the same league as the Zionists and the Israelis. Then they are in the same league, aren't they!
The world seems to be collapsing. No Government can be believed. Most of them are run by Corporations or by fanatical religious groups or immensely wealthy oligarchs or MSM billionaires.
Wasn't democracy supposed to be about government by the people, for the people?
It's a myth!
Interesting times these…I wonder if this is the final test before they jump up and throw off their floor-length shiny robes and reveal the evil that is hidden underneath. The USG (and those other govs in the same vein) have been pushing the people for years. A little at first and then a little more and in the past couple of decades, bigger pushes in more rapid succession. Clinton and Bush 41 really started the big pushes. The Patriot Act, which hardly anyone really understood passed with flying colors. The people hardly flinched. The INVASIONs of Afghanistan and Iraq created little more than a flush on the cheeks of the people and the FMSM helped squelch any real uprising. The people rallied around the flag of nationalism giving the government the go ahead to continue repealing our Rights and Freedom. And the people cheered when "Change" came on the heels of the Idiot in Chief left office, secure in the thought that HE (and his enablers) would never be prosecuted for their transgressions. Only the "Change" that came wasn't what many had envisioned. The only "Change" was that where once HOPE existed, realization that things weren't what they were led to believe settled in.
Wikileaks has lifted the covers and those who are paying attention realize that in fact, the rabbit hole is very deep. As someone (RickR30) above stated "something has to happen." The USG knows it can't completely make Wiki go away, the stuff is still out there – just harder to get at – and they know the average Joe isn't going to go to the effort to find it.
But, the fact remains the USG has to be able to control the flow of information if they are to retain the power they've accumulated over the years. So, yes, something has to happen that will allow them to shut down the information flow. And they KNOW that when they pull the plug, the majority of the people are going to nod their heads and as one voice say, "yes, protect us!!"
And that will be the end of the American Experiment – and all our freedom and rights will be toast. What will remain will be the sheep they've been grooming for years. And those who object will be hunted down and re-educated.
Sorry for the massive missive – the collective stupidity of the American people just got my dander up.
But, that's just this old Curmudgeon's opinion.
Wikileaks announced it will post banking information.
This is probably what is making them frantic.
Anything – but not our money!
Go to your favorite bittorrent search site — I like btjunkie.com — and search for wikileaks. Various bits and pieces are there already. You can help out by uploading whatever's not already there.
Viva la revolucion!
Bradley Manning is the new Nathan Hale, and Jullian Assange the new Thomas Paine! The revolution has begun!

Found this editorial http://blog.opendns.com/2010/12/03/the-dangers-of…
while searching for openDNS. It's interesting that they pulled this stunt right after the reichstag passed this act. I'm still checking out openDNS – I was using it, or something similar, for a while and dropped it because I didn't see that it was actually doing anything.
I would probably would be more concerned if I had a better idea of what the heck was going on. Looks like a game changer, though.
Oh, yeah; good-bye Paypal, it's been nice.
I believe that Wikileaks is finis. Dead. They killed it. The website no longer comes in anymore and eventually will be erased. Go look at all the main US news and aside from say, the Huffingtonpost, there isn't even news about how the government is suppressing Wikileaks!
The British paper, the Guardian, continues to do major stories from this data dump but the NYT has turned the story on its head, PRAISING the State Dept and Obama for nifty Zionist negotiations! So why is these guys so freaked out?
Oh! If you read the actual cables, the truth emerges and the NYT is bending backwards to turn this into a plus for Zionism rather than viewing it realistically. Yup, according to our own cables written by cadres of Zionists, all of the Muslim dictators are on Israel's side so this is a great thing, a wonderful thing for the NYT which wants Israel to rule the world!
But the Times is NOT covering the destruction of Wikileaks. No way. The WP is pretending there is no news at all on this topic. I feel like we are living in the Soviet Union. Yup. Isn't this fun?
Speaking of this, I traveled in Europe in 1968 while going to school there and I was told by the State Department, I could not bring home any literature from Eastern Europe or the SDS in Germany so…I did exactly that because I was really pissed off. All that stupid propaganda back then about how free we were and how we could read anything…except for a long list of stuff forbidden to us, naturally.
They don't want the banking information to get into circulation.
It might put ideas into the heads of the cattle.
These people have checkbooks in the place of hearts.
Totally agree with the article, but the comments…
What the crap.. I haven't been to this site in about six years. Back then it was sane and rational in the comments… now every other post is One World Government this and Israeli Zionist Conspiracy that…
I don't think that this is the Big One. But you can at least make a long list of smelly spineless obedient state-control molluscs that need to be nailed to crosses.
Actually, it started with Lincoln. All downhill from there, and bipartisan to boot.
media whores, guns and money……….!!
Let them crash the site…… Let them arrest Assange….. It ALL will in the end make wiki stronger and more aggressive………with a wider following……due to the publicity and intrigue……….
Totally agree.. The level of discourse in the comments has declined drastically over the years.
True that.

Brett Tuck of Edley's Bar-B-Que East. / submitted
Bret Tuck
Edleys Bar-B-Que East
908 Main St., Nashville
Edleys Bar-B-Que opened its second location in East Nashville in April. (The first, Edleys 12South, is at 2706 12th Ave. S.) We caught up with co-owner and chef Bret Tuck to hear how it was going.
Look for hot chicken specials on Mondays and sometimes through the week. Fresh peaches arrive from Georgia this week, Tuck said, to be used in the Sweet Georgia Brown featuring peach slices on a pork sandwich.
How did you decide to open the second location here?
We looked all over the city Franklin, some different ideas and this popped up. We really liked the location. We really wanted to be over here, and we felt like the brewery (Fat Bottom) did a great job on their build-out and we could use each other to bring business this way.
I really feel like all of Main Street going toward downtown is going to blow up. Five Points is expanding toward the city and the city will expand toward Five Points to be a really happening, cool area.
How did you get into this business?
I went to Auburn (University) and then I went to culinary arts school in Louisville. I got a culinary degree and hospitality management degree. Ive been in restaurants since I was 17, doing all kinds of stuff. We have a couple close family friends who have been in restaurants since I was a kid. Everybody told me not to do it. But its just one of those things. Im not a sit-at-the-desk person. ... And my office is two feet away from a full bar, which I love. Im more of a people person.
I expanded a seafood company called Prime Seafood out of D.C. to Atlanta, Charleston (S.C.) and Savannah (Ga.). I did that for a few years, and then went to a food brokerage firm, which I absolutely hated.
Toward the end of that stint, I met Will Newman, who was looking to do a barbecue joint. We hung out a couple of times and drank some beers ... and thats how it pretty much started.
Why barbecue?
I was in fine dining, so we would do brisket and cheese grits, then make it froufrou, and smoked duck and things like that. I did barbecue at the house on the Green Egg (smoker). But Ive done all kinds of cooking. I like fast casual. I like being able to do really good food at a decent price. ... I think location determines what kind of food I would put on the table. Will was wanting to barbecue, and I was like, alright. ... He had a couple recipes he liked, and I brought in the rest of the recipes, and we kind of put them together and shot for the stars, and it kind of worked.
What are some of the most popular sides?
The collard greens we only do every once in a while because we wash, pull them and make them from scratch. They take forever. Nobody does that anymore. They get the frozen collard greens in the block, which I cant stand. If you do the kind of collard greens we do, youre usually paying a little bit more for them. I know The Southern has great collard greens, and theyre similar to ours. ...
Mac and cheese is big. Our bean salad, actually, we sell a lot of. We wanted a cold side that could go year-round. My mom actually had that recipe at the lake one time. So I took it and tweaked and made it a little different.
I have people who come for the catfish. They drive 30 minutes in for the catfish, which I didnt even want catfish on the menu. But we did it and it was a hit. I have a guy who drives in for nachos from White House. We have a regular who lives in 12South. We do 25 cent wings on Tuesday over there, and every Tuesday he brings his daughter in and they eat wings.
We keep a limited menu. We want everything we do to taste good with lots of flavor, and I actually dont put a whole lot of salt on anything we do. My rub is less than 10 percent salt, which is completely opposite of what Ive been taught for years. Ive been told not to put coriander in barbecue rub, but I love coriander and used to put it on my steaks, so I put it in there. I was told never to do lemon or orange zest, and I put all that in my rub, too.
How do you work your music? Its very consistent from 12th South to this place?
We were trying to decide what to do about it, and being Nashville, a music town, we knew we should pay someone to have music at the place. We chose not to do live music somewhat because of the space. ... And then three or four days before we opened (the 12South location), Pandora had come out with the first commercial-use Pandora system. I think we were the second or third customer to order it. We put our style Southern rock, a lot of blues and some good rock like the Black Keys. We put a bunch of names on a playlist and let it roll.

Consistent offense leads Panthers into USF with shot at bowl
ACC Videos
Two years ago, Pitt officials were focused on jazzing up their football program after six seasons of the conservative, play-not-to-lose style of coach Dave Wannstedt.
Enter Todd Graham, with his speed-based offense and enough brass to think it actually would work at Pitt. It didn't, and Pitt ended the 2011 season ranked 77th in passing and 88th in total offense among 120 FBS schools. Graham ended up at Arizona State.
Who knew that Paul Chryst, the understated Wisconsin offensive coordinator who was a candidate in the search that yielded Graham, would be the coach to fix things?
With the final game of the regular season Saturday at South Florida, Pitt (5-6, 2-4 Big East) is not winning with any more regularity than it did last year, but the offense is more productive, less mistake-prone and more protective of the quarterback.
Pitt has the nation's 40th-ranked passing game (an average of 267.7 ypg) while sitting 60th in total offense (407.1). Sacks fell from 63 to 30 with more defined blocking schemes under first-year line coach Jim Hueber.
In two fewer games, quarterback Tino Sunseri has thrown for 2,892 yards and 18 touchdowns — 276 more yards and eight more scores than last year. His completion percentage improved from 64.2 to 65.8. After averaging nearly an interception per game last year, Sunseri has thrown two this season and none in the past 8 1⁄4 games.
Much of the success can be attributed to the additional year of experience for Sunseri and his three top wide receivers — Devin Street, Mike Shanahan and Cam Saddler. But freshman tight end J.P. Holtz leads the team in yards per catch (16.9).
Shanahan's touchdown against Rutgers was a good example of how pass catchers are getting open more often this season.
"It was just a double move," he said. "All season, we have been showing that formation and I have been running just a slant (to the inside). I gave it a slant and go (to the outside), and the cornerback bit pretty hard on the inside."
The result of the newly conceived route was Shanahan getting wide open in the end zone for Pitt's first touchdown in a 27-6 victory.
"A lot of the credit has to be given to the coaches," he said. "They are great offensive minds and Tino's been doing a great job of getting us the ball."
Shanahan, a fifth-year senior, said he hopes to prolong his football career into the NFL, and he has the frame (6-foot-5, 225 pounds) and statistics (49 receptions, 810 yards, five TDs) that will attract scouts. He also has improved over the past year after recording only 39 catches for 493 yards and four scores in 2011.
Shanahan said he has benefited from the experience of wide receivers coach Bobby Engram, a former Penn State star who played 14 seasons in the NFL.
"He is the kind of coach you don't want to disappoint," Shanahan said. "He tells you what to do and it's on you to go out and execute."
Note: Pitt is four short of the 85-man scholarship limit after losing two transfers and suspending defensive back Steve Williams on Monday. With 16 seniors leaving the program, Pitt can add 20 recruits in the Class of 2013, if the roster remains intact until February. So far, 19 high school seniors have verbally committed.

Hi All.
I have been reading up on audio extraction using a PC. A lot of forums have members that seem to have a preference for some specific CD readers (usually Plextor drives) claiming better results in quality terms. However, I have not been able to determine where that quality might come from.
I have ripped all of my collection with a stock Asus DVD reader/writer and for the more popular CD's (some less popular are not in the database I guess) I get a high confidence number. My CD's are in pristine condition, so 99.9% I get a 100% track quality.
The question is: If the results with my Asus drive (the checksum or a track) is equal to that of the same track extracted with a Plextor drive, how can there be a difference? Or is it just that some Plextor models are better in reading damaged CD's than others? Are they just reading faster? Are we talking about build quality?

There is no sound difference; if the track extracted correctly, it will sound the same no matter which drive was used. But, old Plextor drives (which are Plextor-made, not rebranded like new drives) usually had better ripping performance with damaged CDs - I had resorted more than a few times to older Plextor CDR drives when trying to extract damaged audio (and data!) CDs when few new DVD-R drives, Pioneer, Liteon, LG, failed.
That is (or was, since they are not in production for a long time now) their only advantage against more common and cheaper drives.

Hi Hlloyge,
I suspected that was the case, but on some forums one can read all kinds of strange claims that, at least for me, do not make sense. Thanks for clearing it up!

McKeesport topples Hempfield in Smith's return to sideline
TribLIVE Sports Videos
McKeesport gave usually stoic coach George Smith something to smile about Friday night in his return to the Tigers' sideline after a three-year absence.
Mikell Moore rushed for 161 yards, and Seanlou Gilmore added 103 as visiting McKeesport beat Hempfield, 24-10, in a WPIAL Quad East Conference opener, avenging a stinging home loss last year.
It was the 198th career victory for Smith, who began his second stint with McKeesport and 29th season overall.
"We're not there yet," Smith said, "but if we keep at it, we're hoping we can get there. They did OK tonight. They listened and didn't complain."
Quarterback David Queen scored twice, and Moore added another touchdown for McKeesport (1-0, 1-0), which returned to running Smith's trademark option flexbone offense that had made his programs so successful over the years.
McKeesport, which attempted just four passes, won PIAA titles under Smith in 1994 and 2005 and became playoff threats almost on an annual basis. With Smith out of the picture, the Tigers were eliminated from the WPIAL postseason in the first round each of the past three years.
"We didn't run the offense very well tonight. We had to get away from the triple option," Smith said. "Back to the drawing board until we get it right."
The Tigers apparently did something right but were fortunate to escape with a seemingly easy victory. Joey DeFloria rushed for 102 yards and returned a kickoff 77 yards for Hempfield (0-1, 0-1), but he also had two second-half touchdowns nullified by penalties.
"That was tough for us to recover from," Hempfield coach Rich Bowen said. "We were right there, but now, we've got to move on from this and look toward next week."
McKeesport led, 14-7, at the break, and neither team scored in the third quarter. DeFloria's 36-yard touchdown pass from Ty George was called back because of a personal foul, and his 53-yard run was wiped out by a holding call, leading to John Domit's 26-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter, pulling Hempfield within 14-10.
McKeesport later added a safety to increase the lead to 16-10, when George was called for intentional grounding while passing from the end zone.
"It was a great effort by our guys in the second half," Bowen said. "We made some nice adjustments at halftime."
Queen's 1-yard touchdown run gave McKeesport a 6-0 lead on the final play of the first quarter before DeFloria returned the ensuing kickoff 77 yards as Hempfield took a 7-6 lead.
Queen, adapting in his first season leading McKeesport's complicated option offense, added an 11-yard score to put the Tigers ahead to stay, 14-7. The senior finished with 97 yards rushing and was 0-for-4 passing, all in the first half.
After Domit's field goal cut the Hempfield deficit to six points, Moore, who was among a number of players hampered by second-half cramps, iced the victory with a 15-yard TD run with 4:14 remaining.

During his daily commutes from Westborough to Framingham, pastel artist Dave Kaphammer said he always has a camera ready in case something inspires him for a future painting.
During his daily commutes from Westborough to Framingham, pastel artist Dave Kaphammer said he always has a camera ready in case something inspires him for a future painting.
"A lot of times I'll pull over and snap pictures," said Kaphammer.
Pastel artist Nancy von Hone of Boylston also said she keeps a camera handy, but takes time to travel for her inspiration.
Starting May 15, the landscape artworks of Kaphammer and von Hone will be on display at the Westboro Gallery on 8 West Main St. as part of the collaborative exhibit "Seasons of Light."
"I think our work has two different takes on landscape," said Kaphammer. "They look very different, even though they're the same medium."
"We've sort of been watching each other's work for a while and we thought it would be fun to have a joint show," said von Hone. "Our work is pretty complimentary."
The two artists met while taking an art class at the Worcester Art Museum. Von Hone said she had been working with pastels since 1992 and has held many exhibits for her work. When she met Kaphammer, she said she admired his work and encouraged him to showcase his pieces at the Westboro Gallery.
"I haven't shown many people my work, and I'm kind of excited to get it out there," said Kaphammer, who has only been painting with pastels since 2004.
Kaphammer said his landscapes are mainly of local sites, and he focuses more on the colors of the landscape, whereas von Hone focuses on realistic aspects.
"I often try to show the colors and do things that are more impressionistic, while hers are more literal," said Kaphammer.
For example, Kaphammer said one of his exhibited works shows the colors of the setting sun through the trees.
"This is one of my favorite pieces," said Kaphammer. "I was running on Adams Street and the sun was setting through an alley of trees. Everything was glowing orange, lighting up everything at the end of the road. I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone and that ended up being finished pieces.
"I've been very much into snow this year," he said. "I find myself seeing so much color and interest in the snow that I hadn't seen before, and I got fascinated with it."
Von Hone said her favorite things to paint are skies and water. She said she paints many New England scenes, but also paints sites of the French countryside and the Virgin Islands where she has visited in the past.
"I'm always looking for interesting water or skies because it's such a challenge to do clouds or sunsets," von Hone said. "I'm also interested in spaces where your eye is pulled into the picture through composition. I like to show streams or a road that makes you wonder what's around the next corner."
Page 2 of 2 - In one of von Hone's artworks, it shows the sun setting over the clock tower of the Worcester State Hospital, with the majority of the piece showing sky.
"The cloud formations remind me of angel wings," von Hone said.
Von Hone said she also enjoys painting marshes, like in her piece of a Cape Cod marsh in autumn.
"Marshes are very interesting," von Hone said. "In the autumn marsh scene it's October when the grasses all turn to gold. It's just wonderful."
But for both artists, producing these pastel paintings is only a hobby.
"I went to engineering school," said Kaphammer, who graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in electrical engineering. "I would love to be a professional artist one day, but right now I'm working on that while maintaining a real job."
"I was one of those kids who did a lot of art but chose math and science for college," said von Hone. "I'm an academic administrator at the UMass Medical School. That's a lot of personnel business and very sort of left brain, so painting is my right brain escape."
Von Hone received her bachelor's degree in Urban Affairs from the University of Rhode Island and a master's degree from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She received formal art training from Ella Delyanis and Bill Griffiths at the Worcester Art Museum.
Kaphammer also studied with Delyanis at the Worcester Art Museum, Gretchen Acharya in Boulder, Colo., and has taken workshops with Robert Carsten. He currently studies with Jeanne Smith in Sudbury.
An opening reception for "Seasons of Light" will be held at the Westboro Gallery on Sunday, May 15 from 2 to 5 p.m. The exhibit will run until Aug. 1.

|Binuclear cells induced by acridine orange in giant cell tumor of bone.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11062716 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We have recently found the presence of many binuclear cells among isolated and smeared cells in giant cell tumor of the bone (GCT). These binuclear cells are possibly associated with the formation of multinuclear cells. Therefore, this study was undertaken to clarify the mechanism of binucleation in GCT, using primary culture cells exposed to acridine orange (AO) which is a fluorescent vital staining dye for the cytoplasm and nucleus and which inhibits mitosis. The cells were isolated from explants of fresh tumor materials obtained from two GCT patients (GCT1 and GCT2). These cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) with 10% Fetal calf serum (FCS). After exposure to 0.5 microgram/ml AO, for 0, 6, 24, 48, 96 and 144 hours the following parameters were investigated: 1) cell growth rate (GR); 2) frequency of hyperdiploid cells (%HDC) by DNA cytofluorometry; 3) mitotic index (MI); 4) BrdU labeling index (LI); 5) frequency of binuclear cells (%BNC). Compared to the control cells which were cultured in AO-free medium, the GR of both GCT cells exposed to AO was remarkably inhibited. The MI was 0 from 24 to 144 hours. The %HDC was increased at 24 hours and was maintained high until 144 hours. The LI was temporarily increased at 6 hours, but was decreased at 48 hours. The %BNC was gradually increased. AO inhibited DNA synthesis and cell mitotic activity in cultured GCT cells and it finally caused inhibition of cell growth. However, the frequencies of G2 arrest cells and binuclear cells were increased. These results suggested that the binuclear cells in GCT may be formed from G2 arrest cells by amitotic nuclear division, but not by mitosis without cytoplasmic division, or by cell fusion.

Samsung to launch camera with 3-inch AMOLED?
updated 04:10 am EST, Thu February 19, 2009
Samsung Camera with AMOLED
While Samsung has not made an official announcement, a new camera from the electronics giant has been spotted in an Amazon online listing. Little is known about the TL320 other than that it will be capable of capturing 12-megapixel images and ships with an uncommon 3-inch AMOLED screen with 480x320 resolution; the display would be more color-rich and energy-efficient than LCDs. It also has a wide-angle Schneider-Kreuznach lens with 5x optical zoom, and images are made clearer thanks to both hardware and software image stabilization.
Another original feature of the TL320 is the inclusion of two car-like "fuel" gauges that display the approximate amount of memory space left and battery life. The camera also includes Samsung's Smart shooting mode as well as a Scene shooting mode that both automatically optimize settings for the kind of shooting environment the camera detects.
The TL320 will come in black or silver and is available for pre-order now, priced at nearly $320. [via OLED-info]

Starting here, we kind of wondered how the chat selects the preview picture. But with this, we changed our direction: where does the chat get these pictures from? The displayed pyramids picture is nowhere to be seen on the page itself (unless I overlooked something)!
In most cases, the largest image is a good representation of the Wikipedia article (I tested a lot); in this case, it's so-so. I've seen worse, though: The image for the Wolfgang Petry article is a picture of Johann Sebastian Bach – but you probably have to be German to "appreciate" that :)
We're now using Wikipedia's PageImages API; see my updated answer here.

If you click show on the right corner of that block, you would see that picture :D
It seems to be extracting the image from the last HTML

Ingeniously designed bookshelf in the form of Nolan's Batman symbol
Yes, Batman aficionados: rise! Because this is the ultimate bookshelf you have been waiting for, given your home decor fueled cravings. The item in itself is inspired by the Nolan concocted Batman universe as opposed to the earlier Tim Burton's one. In this regard, we can certainly comprehend the underlining grittiness of the design, which aptly compliments the dark color scheme of the 'Dark Knight'.
The 22 x 32 inch (56 x 82 cm) shelf is the latest in the line of those superhero (and villain) oriented designs, whose exclusive club also includes Iron Man's power heart and Bane's ominous mask. However, the Batman book shelf might have a broader appeal, mainly due to its practical functionality as a wall mounted shelf that doubles up a decorative item.
But since we are talking about functionality, the bat-shaped structure of the shelf can cause some difficulties when storing your paperbacks, especially in alphabetical order. The price tag is also on the higher side with a substantial figure of $283. Still, hardcore fanboys shouldn't be deterred from owning one of this beauties, given that collectible bookshelves in the form of the Batman symbol can always invite the envy of your less fortunate guests.

I just wish both had more songs like that.
This one had a few chunkier riffs I'll give it that.
It's funny when I saw Chris Pennie I had to do a double take because I'm good friends with Chris Pernia from Pessimist and he was telling me about some new side project he was working on. I was hoping that was him.
That I do gotta agree with. They haven't been the same since Seasons. And I must agree Face To Face is one of, if not their best song. I guess without listening to FM radio much anymore I don't realize the mainstream much anymore. The more I look into it the more I do see Sevendust apart of it.
I didn't know Chris Pernia had a new project. I'll have to keep my open for that.
