Romain Grosjean is a wanted man according to Lotus F1 team owner Gerard Lopez, who admits that the Frenchman's performances at the tail end of 2013 and through the team's difficult start to this season has seen his stock seriously rise.
After a troubled first season following his return to Formula One in 2012, which saw Grosjean involved in a number of accidents, and culminated in a one-race ban for his part in the start-line crash at the Belgian Grand Prix, the 28-year-old set about rebuilding his reputation last year, with a flurry of podium finishes at the close of the season, with an equal career best finish of second in the United States a particular highlight.
While the Frenchman has been unable to repeat these highs in the early part of 2014, owing to Lotus' troubled start to the season, he did collect the team's first points of the year in Spain two weeks ago, with an eighth place finish.
As Lopez explains, it is these performances that have led a number of other teams to enquire about the future services of the Frenchman, which could see Lotus forced to wave goodbye to their now star man.
"We don't have the budget of some of the other teams, so there is a point up until which we will fight," Lopez told Press Association. "But Romain is really happy here, he is part of the family, and I don't think he is planning on going anywhere.
"His drives last year meant there were a couple of teams knocking on the door to find out what he was doing, and now we've the same this year.
"I'm not saying Romain is going, but what I am saying is that here is a driver who was criticised, and now suddenly people are saying he is a driver who could pretty much drive for any team."
Grosjean's Lotus team-mate Pastor Maldonado, who joined from Williams over the winter, has faced similar criticism to the Frenchman throughout his career, with question marks once again raised over the Venezuelan's temperament and inconsistent form following a series of recent accidents and near-misses, the latest incident coming at the Spanish Grand Prix, where he crashed out in qualifying, at the same track he spectacularly won on two years previously.
Yet, despite a less than stellar start to his career at Lotus, team owner Lopez believes that Maldonado, like Grosjean before him, is a driver that can be tamed.
"He's a driver who needs to understand that in certain circumstances, with his speed, then 95, 96, 97 per cent should get him to where he wants to be, and then once in Q3 give it 100, 105, said the Luxembourg-born businessman. "We've lived partially the same thing with Romain, and people wrote him off, but now, as I say, we've people knocking on our door to see if he can be in their team.
"We will take a long-term view on things, so we're not particularly worried. We'll get the best out of Pastor.
"We think we can do the same with him, as we did with Romain, to ensure he is at his best every race weekend, and consistently throughout the weekend. I have a lot of faith in him."

Noise Attenuation in Biological Systems
Qing Nie (Biomedical Engineering & Mathematics, University of California, Irvine)
(April 18, 2011 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM)
In this talk, we will first introduce a new quantity called Signed Activation Time (SAT), which is found to be critical in determining noise attenuation capability of a feedback system. We will next study how noise amplification rates of several biological examples may depend on SAT and investigate strategies for noise attenuation in systems involving both extra-cellular and intra-cellular components. In particular, we will study boundary sharpening during Zebrafish embryonic development.

Demosthenes in 344 B.C. spoke a word of correction for us today in his "Second Oration Against Phillip." This would have been Phillip of Macedonia and the father of Alexander the megalomaniac.
"Various are the contrivances for the defense and security of cities: as battlements, and walls, and trenches, and every other kind of fortification; all which are the effects of labor, and attended with continual expense. But there is one common bulwark with which men of prudence are naturally provided, the guard and security of all people, particularly of free states, against the assault of tyrants. What is this? Distrust. Of this be mindful; to this adhere; preserve this carefully, and no calamity can affect you. "What is it you seek?" said I, "Liberty?" And do you not perceive that nothing can be more adverse to this than the very titles of Phillip? Every monarch, every tyrant is an enemy to liberty, and the opposer of laws. Will you not then be careful lest, while you seek to be freed from war, you find yourselves his slaves?"
Today, adherence to the institution is highly praised in clubs, groups, denominations and governments. Yet freedom of expression and open dialogue is inhibited and suppressed while the institution is watching closely. Let them watch and listen but let us ever be vigilant in freedom of expression that we may individually grow in deliverance from self and turn toward love of all people. Those who follow the institutional thinking blindly do not love others, but themselves. How can you love the One you cannot see if you do not love others, all made in His image?
The one they care for is self and are willingly led as sheep to the house of bland boredom and security, though temporary. To stand for truth as defined by the Scriptures, old and new testament, is the way of the prophets and exciting. Isaiah 66:2 says: God looks upon the ones that are of poor and contrite spirits and trembles at His word. Perhaps we can say, "God hears those who seek to obey."
Our government is seeking to protect us from Islam and will (along with the denominations) make peace with evil in order to be safe, though temporary. Denominations ignore their own vows and the law of God while the government turns from the constitution and Bill of Rights for our good. Is that not nice of them? We no longer have a balance of power in three branches as all have bought the institutionalism but freedom includes and demands our decision to vocalize "no." Truly no kingdom can stand when divided, as the United States of America is, but neither can it stand if it calls evil good and good evil. The institution of whatever stripe will not stand; only you and I can. Peace.

The relationshp between [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Katy Perry[/lastfm] and Russell Brand has fast become the source of a slew of juicy gossip based stories that paint Katy and Russell as not so happily separated.
[photogallerylink id=94880 align=right]After news broke that Russell might tell all in his upcoming memoir series, Katy did what she thought she needed to do: separate herself even more from the UK comic by unfollowing him on Twitter.
So for any of you that thought this wasn't for serious, the proof is in the pudding. While Katy remains that no "close sources" can speak for her, that hasn't kept them quiet as to the speculation for her reasoning.
One source claims she did it because "She's limiting those interactions. He's being so atrocious that she feels like she never really knew him."
Whatever the reason is, it's done. There isn't much worse than an unfollow in today's cyber age but no word on if they are still friends on Facebook. Once you push that button, there is no going back.
AMP will keep you up on the scoop!

High Hopes in Palo Alto
Brace yourselves, folks. Mark Hurd, who earned a reputation for tough leadership during his time at NCR Corp., looks set to deliver more of the same as Carly Fiorinas successor at Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ). (See It's Hurd for HP and HP CEO Steps Down.)
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based firm last night announced its new CEO, quickly bringing to a close a search process that can often drag on for many months. And with HP undergoing a business unit revamp, board members were keen to get an experienced CEO on board.
As the appointment came as no surprise -- Hurd had been widely tipped to fill Fiorinas shoes -- the news was met with indifference by the markets, with HP's share price dipping slightly, by just 5 cents, to $21.73 in late morning trading.
In a conference call to introduce the new CEO this morning, HP board director Patricia Dunn praised Hurds direct, open style, which seems a polite way of saying that Hurd is set to shake things up and ruffle some feathers.
With that reputation in mind, analysts on the call were keen to know whether Hurd would be replicating the robust, results-driven style of management that characterized his time running NCRs Teradata business unit.

Montrece Simpson, 10, and Antrana Brown, 15, are alive, but seriously injured after being shot Tuesday night.
Jackson Police are looking for the person who shot them around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The kids were outside of Montrece's home on Jackson Street,with a number of other young children, when a man wearing dark clothes walked up and shot them. Montrece was shot in the stomach. Antrana was shot in the head.
Lt. Aaron Kantor, with the Jackson Police Department, says physical evidence was taken from the scene and dozens of people who are either relatives of the victims or witnessed the crime have been interviewed. Police are still trying to determine a motive.
Alfred Taylor, Montrece's Uncle, insists the kids were just the victims. "They were just sitting on the porch. Two kids shot for no reason," he said standing outside the home Wednesday afternoon.
If you have any information about the shooting, please call Jackson Police at (517) 788-4100.

|Disorders of pulmonary function, sleep, and the upper airway in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17294338 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Charcot-Marie Tooth disease (CMT) encompasses several inherited peripheral motor-sensory neuropathies and is one of the most common inherited neuromuscular diseases. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease can be associated with several disorders that may be encountered by the pulmonary physician, including restrictive pulmonary impairment, sleep apnea, restless legs, and vocal cord dysfunction. Restrictive pulmonary impairment has been described in association with phrenic nerve dysfunction, diaphragm dysfunction, or thoracic cage abnormalities. Central sleep apnea may be associated with diaphragm dysfunction and hypercapnia, whereas obstructive sleep apnea has been reported as possibly due to a pharyngeal neuropathy. Restless legs and periodic limb movement during sleep are found in a large proportion of patients with CMT2, a type of CMT associated with prominent axonal atrophy. Vocal cord dysfunction, possibly due to laryngeal nerve involvement, is found in association with several CMT types and can often mimic asthma. There may be special therapeutic considerations for the treatment of those conditions in individuals with CMT. For instance, bi-level positive airway pressure may be more appropriate than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of sleep apnea in the individual with concomitant restrictive pulmonary impairment. The prominence of peripheral neuropathy as a cause of the restless legs syndrome in CMT may justify treatment with neuropathic medications as opposed to the more commonly recommended dopaminergic agents. The risk of progression to bilateral vocal cord dysfunction in CMT and the risk of aspiration with laryngeal neuropathy may limit the therapeutic options available for vocal cord paralysis.

Next Trayvon-style trial? Starts in September
Posted By Gina Loudon On 07/16/2013 @ 9:56 pm In Front Page,Politics,U.S. | No Comments
Angela Corey, the special prosecutor who found a way to take the George Zimmerman case to trial before seeing her work collapse with a not guilty verdict from the jury, now is taking on another high-profile case that is sure to be the next Trayvon Martin media frenzy.
Michael Dunn is charged with the murder of a black teenager in a gas station parking lot in Jacksonville, Fla. After an argument about loud music, Dunn allegedly fired shots into the car containing four teens after he claims he saw spotted a shotgun.
Jordan Davis, 17, was killed when he was struck allegedly by some of the eight shots that Dunn fired into the SUV.
Police never found the gun that Dunn claims he saw before he opened fire.
According to Dunn and other witnesses, after the shooting, the red Dodge Durango pulled out of the parking lot and stopped. The passenger and driver exited the car, got back in, then pulled back into the gas station parking lot.
Witnesses who called 911 may have given a clue on where the missing gun went.
The man on the phone told the dispatcher he saw two of the young men exit the SUV after the shots rang out.
"I don't know if they were trying to stash something in the car or look for something or what, but it looked like they got out, kind of brushed themselves off, and then they got back in."
The surrounding crime scene was not searched until several days after the shooting.
The defense team hopes to find proof of the existence of the missing gun that they believe was stashed outside the car before police arrived and removed before the police searched the scene days later. Surveillance footage has been subpoenaed as well as sales receipts from the day of the shooting to track down other potential witnesses.
Dunn's attorney, Robin Lemonidis, says the men in the Dodge Durango shouted death threats as a shotgun was brandished.
She says Dunn heard the men shout, "Kill that mother f*****" as a shotgun was pointed out of the back window of the car. That's when she said he opened fire.
Read today's full report about the Zimmerman case:
Critics of Dunn's actions point out that he left the scene after the shooting and did not contact police.
Dunn's girlfriend, who was with him at the scene, said she pressured him to return home to find someone to look after their dog. She says she expected them both to be detained by the police and did not want to leave the dog without care.
The trial is set to begin Sept. 23 and is sure to attract the attention of the nation as did the Zimmerman trial.

Four masked men shot Ornelas de Lemos at least 41 times while he was at a bakery in a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, according to news reports.
Ornelas de Lemos, the administrative director of the daily Jornal Hora H, was involved in all aspects of the daily's operations, a newspaper employee told CPJ. He was also the son of Jornal Hora H's owner, José Lemos. A journalist at Jornal Hora H told authorities that Ornelas de Lemos had received threats for the daily's reporting, according to news reports, but did not elaborate.
Police Captain Marcus Henrique Alves told reporters that authorities were investigating the daily's coverage as a possible motive for the murder. "It was a combative newspaper, that frequently denounced irregularities and corruption," he said. The daily was known for its tabloid-style coverage of crime and the police.
News accounts also reported that Ornelas de Lemos had been investigated for three murders committed in the 1990s but had never been formally charged. He had once been accused of being involved in the murder of a local official in 2003 in a dispute over a trash collection contract and was imprisoned, but was later acquitted, the reports said. Authorities said at the time of his death he was carrying a firearm and had survived a previous attack in 2005, according to news reports.

As the entire Western Hemisphere approaches winter, flu season comes along with it. In the United States, National Influenza Vaccination Week (December 2-8, 2012) promotes awareness of getting flu shots and vaccines. It is important to build up our immune systems during this time. Antibiotics aid the immune system by attacking and killing infectious strains present in the human body. However, antibiotic treatments are engineered to attack contagions across a broad spectrum, thus killing all kinds of bacteria, whether they are beneficial to the body or not.
The Perrigo Company today announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) to market over-the-counter nicotine polacrilex mini lozenge USP, 2 mg (mint flavor) and 4 mg (mint flavor).

LAS CRUCES — Building stamina and cardiovascular health as a person ages is important, and the city of Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Department will offer a program designed to help achieve both in 12 weeks.
The 50 Plus Walking Program/0-60 in 12 Weeks, is designed to get resident walking as long as 60 minutes a session in 12 weeks. The program begins with 20-minute walks three times a week and works itself to 60 minutes. Distance is not the priority, but movement is. People in the program will be able to walk at their own pace, but will set a time.
Distance will be tracked in order to gauge individual improvement. The focus of the program will be on health and well-being.
Participants will meet at the New Mexico State University or Mayfield High School track, at times to be determined. Every fourth week will be a "Field Trip" walk at another location. The final walk will be at Soledad Canyon Road, a trek with fabulous views.
Registration will be April 15 at Meerscheidt Recreation Center, 1600 E. Hadley Ave. The program will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. beginning May 6.
A $36 fee for the program includes tracking progress for the 12-week program.

The Turbo Power Turbo 1500 Professional Hair Dryer offers fast and perfect drying results.New Price:
Ceramic FabulousnessThis dryer gave me back about 2 hours of my life each week! :) It dries my thick, wavy hair in about 10 mins, versus my last dryer which took about 20-25. I knew I had to have it when I spent the weekend at my girl friend's house and used hers. I love that there are Cool, Warm, and Hot settings, as well as High, Low. And for you multitaskers out there, it has the longest cord I've ever seen.May 11, 2010MichelleHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

Not ImpressedI have had this dryer for under a year, I was quite impressed initially but then noticed the handle was getting very hot and also leaving a tingling sensation in my hand and now it is producing a burning smell so I will be taking it back. Very dissapointing.Apr 22, 2010Andrea

Please Keep In Mind...I would like to start off by sharing that I have had a wonderful experience with my blowdryer as well as with Folica. Secondly, I'd like for everyone writing reviews to keep in mind that each individual experience varies. NO PRODUCT is made to last FOREVER. Some products are poorly made indeed, whereas others are of far better quality. The BabyBlisPro is NOT one of those "poorly made" products. Yes, many excellent manufacturers can also produce defective equipment--it happens with clothing, cars, cellphones and (yes) even blowdryers. The treatment, maintenance and amount of usage given to the dryer may also be a factor in how long it will last and how well it will perform. That being said, different people have different results as well as needs. The same exact product can produce an extremely different result on two separate individuals. I can state that my personal experience has been a positive one; less drying time, no frizz, sturdy machine, and gives a mean blowout to my naturally curly hair. Yes, it gets VERY hot--that's why it has different settings. We should all be mindful of that so we don't burn our hands and/or our hair.Apr 8, 2010Sunshine / NY

Perfect Hairdryer Bad Dryer AttachmentI had the Carrera Pro for 4 years until it stopped getting as hot. This dryer gets SUPER hot and straightens and dries your hair in no time. The issue is that the air flow attachment on the Carerra 2 popped off after a few uses and I had to shove it back in then it popped off again and was basically a weapon as it flew across the room (fiery hot). The Carrera Pro has notches which holds the air flow director in. If you use the air flow attachment, definitely get the Carrera TT Pro.Mar 30, 2010M

Fantastic DryerI've had a BaByliss dryer for quite a few years now. The first one I had finally died after over 2 years of use almost every day. I got another one since I absolutely loved that dryer. I don't see how people can complain about the lifespan on something that's used almost every day. Everything wears out at some point, and for the price of this hair dryer, I think the lifespan is absolutely amazing. The high heat is wonderful. I have naturally curly hair with a lot of body and with this dryer can get it beautifully straight in an extremely short period of time. I've had my second one for a couple of years now and just purchased another one for my daughter for Easter since she absolutely loves to use mine when she's over at my home. Fantastic product that I would definitely recommend and positively purchase again.Mar 9, 2010Rhonda

Pretty Average, ImoI like the feel of the dryer and seems a little hotter, but doesn't seem to dry my hair any faster than my cheapie $16.99 Vidal Sassoon dryer did. It also doesn't make my hair feel any different, as some reviewers said. Those are really the two reasons I bought it. My only hope is that it will last longer than the others, which only last about a year of regular daily home use. It's a good product, I just don't know if it's worth the extra price over a brand I can find at a discount store.Feb 22, 2010Angie

Good Performance For The Price, But...I've had this hairdryer for a couple of years. During this time, it was good for the price. It did make my hair look more shiny and less frizzy. However, the design of the diffuser is horrible. Mine would blow off while I was drying my hair. I got so annoyed, I crazy-glued the diffuser to the dryer. Good solution if you never want to take the diffuser off. Now it seems like the hairdryer doesn't perform as well as it did in the beginning (as in making my hair smooth and shiny). And I do need to take the diffuser off so I'm going to try a different brand, probably Solano. I would buy a BaByliss again, but I would not purchase a Carrera 2 again. But I got my $60 worth.Feb 10, 2010Christina / Jersey City, NJ USA

Never Ever Again!I bought my 1st BabylissPro Carrera 2 Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer at a hair show in NYC. ( I am a cosmetologist )I loved they way it made my hair look...I told all the girls I work with to get one... After two years of use my expensive dryer that I thought was so great caught on fire! I thought it was a freak thing and because I thought it was such a great dryer I decided I would buy Two more, One for my home and the other for the Spa that I working at. I was drying a woman's hair and it started making a weird noise and sparks were coming out like crazy! I had to through it out side walk back into the spa and face everyone after making all that commotion. I was so embarrassed and I felt very unprofessional! I was afraid to even use my other one I had at home so gave it away to my friend who said she didn't care she would take it...Well that one a few months later only blows cold air so I told her to get rid of it fast!I have learned my lesson and will never buy this dryer again and would never recommend it to anyone EVER EVER AGAIN after owning three that never made it for over two years of use.(for real I would look into any other dryer,but not this one)I don't know how it doesn't have a recall on it by now! I am a very disappointed costumer.Feb 9, 2010Suzanne / East Greenbush NY USA

An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) with potential antineoplastic activity. FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 binds to and inhibits FGFR, which may result in the inhibition of FGFR-related signal transduction pathways, and, so, the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and tumor cell death. FGFR, up-regulated in many tumor cell types, is a receptor tyrosine kinase essential to tumor cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival.

It's Thanksgiving time again. What a great holiday. Why is it, then, this day has almost been forgotten by the advertising world?
Apparently, the holiday season starts the first of October by printing ads for Halloween. Then towards the end of the month, Christmas commercials are being shown. Notice anything missing?
That's right. The third Thursday in November, the day we're supposed to give thanks for all the good things in our life, the day that immediately hits your taste buds with promises that once a year you can stuff yourself with as much as your stomach can hold.
It's true that there's no place like home for the holidays. With the temperature dropping, there's nothing like bundling up with the family around the fire to enjoy some holiday cheer. However, the open hearths, candles and holiday cooking also bring an increased risk for house fires.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, an estimated 2,000 Thanksgiving Day fires in residential buildings occur annually in the United States, resulting in an estimated average of five deaths, 25 injuries and $21 million in property damage. The leading cause of these fires is cooking.
The election is over and we know who our president and members of Congress are going to be. Let's take a few minutes and look at some of the other winners and losers in Georgia politics.
Winner: Gov. Nathan Deal.
After he took a beating on the T-SPLOST transportation tax, the governor recovered to lead the charge on the charter school constitutional amendment, approved by more than 58 percent of the state's voters.
Veterans Day, 2012, is an opportunity to once again recognize the significant contributions of the millions of our citizens whose military service has had a profound effect on history. It is an opportunity to remember all the freedoms we, the people of this great nation, are fortunate enough to enjoy.
It is an opportunity to thank those who have answered the call of duty to protect those freedoms, to honor them and show our gratitude for their sacrifices.
Regardless of how the presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney plays out, Georgia Republicans should have something significant to celebrate the day after the election.
Just eight years after the GOP took control of the General Assembly in the 2004 elections, they are poised to win more than two-thirds control of both legislative chambers (that's 120 seats in the House of Representatives and 38 in the Senate).
Halloween has passed, but you might need to be afraid for another reason. You might need to be afraid for the future of good government. I'm not talking about if Obama were to get re-elected. I'm talking about something closer to home; a local race.
Did you vote for Barack Obama in 2008? A lot of people did – obviously.
What a time. There's still room for improvement, but what a testimony to just how far we as a nation have come in terms of racial harmony, tolerance and diversity.
That we could elect an African-American to lead the free world is indeed a very good thing.
We just happened to elect the wrong African-American.
"A compassionate government keeps faith with the trust of the people and cherishes the future of their children."
– Lyndon B. Johnson
When I was a kid, my family would watch black and white horror movies together on Halloween. During commercials, my parents would exchange tales of ghosts and, supposedly, occult occurrences my relatives had witnessed over the generations.
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
– Matthew 5:16
In 1971, when my husband's military assignment changed from Vietnam to Fort Gordon, our reunited family was about to move into our first-ever newly built home. I had been to Georgia a few months earlier, found a nearly completed house in the Idylwilde Subdivision in Evans, and had the pleasure of making all the interior décor decisions myself. That was another first for me.
With all of the attention that has been focused on the constitutional amendment dealing with the creation of state charter schools, many voters may not be aware that there is an "Amendment 2" on the ballot as well.
If approved by the voters, the amendment would allow state agencies to sign multi-year leases to rent property for government offices and related facilities. Currently, the state cannot sign an agreement to lease property for more than a year at a time.

In Pasadena - one of the most revered Golden State cities that boasts a sizable community of artists - 2014 marks the beginning of a new season for art exhibits and thought-provoking displays.
Appropriately, many galleries and showrooms are busy gearing up for the coming months. Chief among them is the Pasadena Museum of California Art, which has plans to debut three different exhibitions on the same day. On Sunday, Jan. 19, visitors to the cultural institution will be given the opportunity to view "Picturing Mexico: Alfredo Ramos Martínez in California," "Serigrafía" and "Flora Kao: Homestead." Each of these shows offer a different take on occurrences within the West Coast state during the last several decades.
Reception to be held prior to opening
On the day preceding the opening of the three different exhibitions, the PMCA will host a reception to mark the special occasion. From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, local members of the museum and area visitors will have the chance to gain a deeper understanding of the artists and their various works before the exhibit is opened to the masses. Guests will be treated to delicious hors d'oeuvres and savory refreshments, and be encouraged to freely discuss the featured pieces as they explore the sprawling gallery space on East Union Street.
Those interested in attending the opening reception can ensure their admission for just $5 at the door. Members will be granted access to the event free of charge.
Exhibitions focus on different aspects of American history
Visitors to the PMCA who view each of the exhibits can enjoy examining three individual view points of historic events in California. Spanning multiple decades, each piece serves to represent the artist's thoughts and feelings on specific happenings, promising to provide a unique experience for all.
- Picturing Mexico - This exhibition focuses on the body of work produced by respected modernist painter, Alfredo Ramos Martínez, between 1929 and 1946. Many of the selected pieces reflect the precocious state of the country leading up to - and during - the Great Depression. Divided into four sections, "L.A. Stories," "Many Women," "Religious Piety" and "Forever Mexico," the exhibit spotlights Martínez's unique narrative and masterful style, highlighting him as a remarkable contributor to contemporary 20th century art. Carefully curated by Amy Galpin, Ph.D., curator for Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College in Florida, the display is sponsored by American Fine Art Magazine and supported by a number of local organizations, including the the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and The Hilbert Collection.
- Serigrafía - Featuring 30 silkscreens dating from the 1970s to present day, this collection of works of graphic art serves to survey the influential and powerful tradition of information design in California's Latino culture. Created and distributed by centros - artist-led collectives - these images significantly contributed to the public discourse at the time. Along with the civil rights movement, these prints' messages demand political and social justice for marginalized groups, as well as confront social, economic, political and cultural issues on both personal and global levels. Curated by a panel of seven design experts, the exhibition focuses on aesthetics and portability combine to transform an image into a communicative and educational object. Organized by Exhibit Envoy, the collection is funded by the James Irvine Foundation and supported by the Board of Directors of the PMCA.
- Homestead - In an attempt to evaluate human relationships with respect to landscape and mapping, as well as notions of home and placelessness, artist Flora Kao puts her spotlight on the poignant histories of the vacant, dilapidated shacks that pepper the Mojave Desert in this exhibit. The images of abandoned homes and life-size rubbings of decrepit walls populate the museums Project Room, and help viewers to directly connect with each structure, which has been suspended in a specific moment of its decay. Those seeking a visceral encounter with erasure and accumulation, hoping for the chance to meditate on the ease and inevitability of loss in a region that beckons new beginnings. Kao is a recipient of an ARC grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation, and her display was organized by PMCA.
Exhibitions to enjoy long stand at PMCA
?Individuals interested in viewing the artwork featured in each of these three new exhibitions will be able to do so until April 20, when the displays will conclude. Until then, though, art-enthusiasts can gain entry to the collections during normal musuem hours for an admission price of $7. As usual, PMCA members can enjoy having access for free.
Those looking for additional information regarding the exhibits or museum itself can call 626-568-3665 or visit www.pmcaonline.org to learn more.

New Mexico Progress
Linda Alvarado brought a basic, overall message to the Domenici Public Conference in Las Cruces last month: "Entrepreneurial ideas are what has made America great."
Myrtle Potter echoed the message, though not in quite the exact words.
Starting from deep New Mexico roots, their paths have differed. While Potter now owns consulting and media companies, she rose in the corporate world of health care to be president and chief operating officer of Genentech, a biotechnology firm. Alvarado's company remains as it began-Alvarado Construction Company-with some sidelines gathered along the way, including franchise restaurants in four states and a piece of the Colorado Rockies baseball club.
In the overall public policy conversation about entrepreneurialism, the sense commonly is that the discussion is about people starting their own companies. The policy gurus focus much more narrowly on "high growth and disruptive new businesses... creating new markets and revving the engines of our nation's economy." This is a quote from an Innovation magazine article about Startup America, an Obama administration-blessed, foundation-funded program to help "young, high growth companies."
New Mexico is considering joining the Startup America program, the article said.
The Martinez administration is talking technology these days with an economic summit relevant to half the state that includes worthy topics such as nanotechnology.
To include the whole state, let's cast the conceptual net to include the guy with the two- or three-man roofing firm who expands through buying a $15,000 device, allowing him to destroy a tree stump in ten minutes for a $250 fee. One stump bit the dust (literally) about 7 p.m. one summer evening because he was headed to Hawaii the next day.
It's "a culture and a mentality," is how Alvarado put it.
Alvarado and Potter both got out of the proverbial Dodge-Albuquerque and Las Cruces, respectively-going to Los Angeles and Chicago. Potter credited her "incredibly brilliant, loving parents" and the small town values of accountability and proper behavior. Potter's first job out of the University of Chicago was selling adult disposable diapers.
Important factors in Alvarado's early history included her church, family, school and sports. "We didn't grow up thinking we were a minority or that we were poor," she said. Being small and female, she didn't look the part of a construction business owner.
Alvarado found a specialty, becoming computer savvy and doing scheduling. Alvarado Construction began in 1976 with little money, found a niche and began growing. "It is finding ways to be creative. The risk was mine," she said.
Michael Hurley's conference presentation was about fighting global Islamic terrorism, but he offered two thoughts of importance to people leading companies large and small: One must manage the risk and the risk is not zero. Then how we deal with failure is important, because there will be some failure.
While New Mexico's defense research establishment can hardly be considered entrepreneurial, being larger organizations working for the government, they must find new means of creating value. Gen. Lester Lyle, whose master's degree came from New Mexico had some reassuring words. White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base are "very, very unique pieces of infrastructure" and New Mexico's airspace is the only place to test unmanned aerial vehicles. The nuclear deterrent must be effective and secure. He called for rebuilding space capability and leadership in aeronautics. All these involve New Mexico institutions.
Alvarado employed baseball jargon to make her points: Baseball offers no guarantees beyond another chance at bat, she said. "Get in the game. Take some risks." If women don't step up to the plate, nothing happens.
Alvarado's mantra is her own, though: Character, credibility, cash flow.

SIOUX FALLS, SD - Police targeted kids Tuesday night for a good cause. The Sioux Falls Police Department and The Banquet partnered to give kids in need a holiday shopping spree of their own.
It's not Santa's sleigh, but it may as well be. A trip on the trolley to Target means the kids on board hit the mother load this holiday season.
"They can shop for themselves, family, friends, a teacher; anybody that they want to shop for," the Banquet's Special Events Director Madeline Shields said.
And they get to shop with a cop. Sioux Falls Police, Minnehaha County Sheriff's deputies, the Highway Patrol and everyone in between traded in their real guns for the plastic kind in Target's toy aisles Tuesday night.
"Maybe they have not had the best experience with police officers in their homes or maybe outside of their homes. So, this is really a way for children to see police in a positive light," Shields said.
Each child's $50 gift card is courtesy of Target. Four year-old James was there picking up some things for himself and a few for his family too.
"I like cops," said James, "I got Captain America and a car. I got two Spider Mans."
"Everybody is happy. Everybody is having fun. The families are grateful and officers are having fun shopping," Shields said.
And for this night, a police escort is better than one even Santa could provide.
The Sioux Falls Police Department makes all of the arrangements for tonight's event.

Paint color can create a huge difference when designing a home. It can make the property appear bigger or more compact. It is also the first thing neighbours and passersby see. The exterior and interior tones can depend on the property's design and your personal preferences. Although you can get commercial painter Vancouver for any kind of paint job, picking the right colors is your call. Take into consideration following points when picking the appropriate tone for your home:
Exterior paint
Think of the number of shades you wish to apply. Modern buildings usually have metal windows and sidings, which do not require painting. These, nevertheless, have to suit the whole paint of the exterior. Figure out the number of tones you wish to apply on the eaves, trims, and shutters. Some people only apply three tones on each of these to accentuate the property's features.
Take into account the size of your house. Dark hues are ideal for people who have a huge property because these make the home appear more compact. Making use of dark outlines for the gutters, windows, and trims may also make the property appear smaller. Lighter colors, on the other hand, are ideal for smaller homes given that they make the home appear bigger. A safer and more effective method is selecting two shades from the same color, whether light or dark. Use a contrasting shade on the door to make an emphasis. Apply lighter colors on the patio to create a softer look. Inquire a Vancouver painting company if they can give sample patterns and colors for the home.
Although you want to make your house recognizable, do not select colors that collide with your neighbours' properties. Choose tones that blend with the other homes while making your house stick out discreetly. Look around your community and observe the designs in their properties.
Buy paint samples from a Vancouver painting company. Check these outdoors and observe them from numerous perspectives throughout the day. Select paint that blends well with the roof, windows, and landscape of your property.
Interior paint
Have a focus to make harmony. Select lighter tones if you want to point out dark accessories and draw attention to details. These also work well if you have intricate designs on rugs, curtains, pillows, and sofas. Dark colors, on the other hand, might help highlight trims.
Similar to exterior paint, think of the space in your home. Select lighter colors to make small rooms look large, open, and spacious. Pick darker shades if you want to make the room look more compact. Be sure the walls and ceilings complement each other.
Think of natural lighting. Rooms that do not receive natural light should have lighter and warmer colors such as yellow and white. Paint the ceilings white so natural light can reflect into the room.
Think about the mood. Select neutral tones if you want to create a calm and soothing mood. White, gray, and beige suit bedrooms and study areas because they are less distracting. Blue and green are ideal for living rooms and kitchens because they give a vibrant mood.
Additional suggestions
Search on the internet to have more tips on exterior and interior paint patterns. Get feedback when picking the suitable paint color. Buy long-lasting paint from your Vancouver painting company.

Automakers can spend as much as $3 billion on research and development for a brand-new model. A patent troll can spend as little as a couple hundred thousand dollars to prevent that car from reaching a showroom floor.
Thats all a patent troll needs to a buy a patent, hire lawyers, assert itself as a domestic industry and haul an automaker in front of the International Trade Commission (ITC). Patent trolls are firms that hold patents but have no intention of producing products.
Thats exactly what happened when Swiss-based patent holding company Beacon Navigation brought one of the largest ITC cases ever. Its target? Nearly every automaker in the U.S. The 2011 case, over a GPS navigation patent, involved Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. These companies add billions to our economy and employ hundreds of thousands of Americans, including more than 150,000 here in Michigan.
Beacon, on the other hand, had only a handful of U.S. employees, made no products, conducted no relevant research or development and had purchased its patents from another party. Despite this, Beacon was legally able to claim the status of a domestic industry and threaten the auto industry with an exclusion order an ITC remedy that could have prevented Ford, GM and others from bringing their own vehicles into the country.
When I served as commissioner, the ITC was a relatively quiet trade court that focused on unfair foreign trade practices. I have since watched as abusive cases have begun to dominate the workload. Theres a good reason for the ITCs popularity. Patent trolls, which typically also bring cases in federal court, have discovered that the commissions authority to impose an exclusion order is a powerful weapon. But trolls like Beacon dont actually want to stop the import of autos they want to use the threat of an import ban to make outrageous financial demands.
Their tactics are having a highly negative economic impact. A Boston University study found that patent trolls led to $500 billion in lost wealth to defendants between 1990 and 2010. The Beacon case alone cost automakers tens of millions of dollars in legal fees money that could have been used for job-creating purposes. Meanwhile, the costs borne by victimized companies typically show up in consumer prices, and taxpayers cover the growing budget at the ITC.
Of course, Congress never intended for the ITC to be a taxpayer-funded trade court that allows non-producing patent holders to obtain U.S. government protection.
President Barack Obama recently outlined a patent plan that addresses the troll problem both in the courts and at the ITC. Its now up to Congress to follow suit and pass comprehensive reform that makes certain we dont eliminate abuse in the courts only to see the problem shift further to the ITC.
Charlotte Lane served as a commissioner on the U.S. International Trade Commission for eight years, appointed by President George W. Bush. She is now of counsel with Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, a West Virginia law firm.

As if we needed proof of that right? ;)
Well, the science is on our side too. Two recent studies show that organic food is healthier.
The first study was conducted by The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry and the outcome after 10 years of research and comparing organic and conventional tomatoes was that organic tomatoes are twice as high in flavanoids then conventially grown. Woohoo! This study joins others that recently found organic tomatoes to have higher levels of vitamins and minerals. This is attributed to healthier soils found on organic farms.
Another study from the British Journal of Nutrition showed that organic dairy and meat products in a mothers diet positively affect the nutritional quality of her breast milkmarkedly increasing beneficial fatty acids. These fatty acids are important as they are believed to have anti-carcinogenic, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-diabetic and immune-enhancing effects, as well as a favorable influence on body fat composition. The immune development properties are especially important for newborns. This study just shows how important breastfeeding is AND how important an organic diet is.

Gartner and IDC are both reporting PC shipment numbers for the third quarter. The figures vary slightly, but the trend is the same. Shipments are up from this time a year ago - slightly - but not as "up" as expected.
In fact, reality is quite a bit below expectations. Gartner had expected a 12.1% increase and got a 7.6% increase in worldwide shipments instead.
IDC's numbers are a bit higher reporting a worldwide increase of 11%, although falling short of the 14% expected increase.
Other interesting nuggets and trends in the fine print:
- IDC's numbers indicate that Apple has jumped to number three in PC shipments in the U.S. market. Gartner still places them at number four. It looks like a statistical deadheat with Acer to me.
- Gartner is blaming the economy and consumer confusion over tablets. In other words, there are a lot of people out there who don't want to pull the trigger on a computing device until they see what other tablet offerings come available.
Parting thoughts
- The PC is increasingly irrelevant. Who needs the latest, greatest when most people are spending increasing amounts of time connecting through their mobile device?
- The netbook is clearly not as red hot as it was a year ago when it was propping up PC sales. Why? Will the netbook die under the boots of the iPad and other tablets soon to follow?
- Upgrading to Windows 7 is increasingly irrelevant, too. People had to make due for so long during the Windows Vista cycle, I believe they got used to it - and found other alternatives.
- Desktops and laptops will not go away. But, their importance will. It's already happening.

What does gender have to do with what's funny? "Take my wife. Please." As Henny Youngman's famous line points out, it's a common theory of comedy (thank you, Freud) that one way we use humor is to exploit the anxiety, tension or anger we have about different things. Men making jokes about women, women making jokes about men, and both making jokes about marriage and sex, have been a staple of our comedy diet since the beginning. Take Aristophanes, please. Over 2400 years ago, his plays were filled with comedy about the genders. And those cave drawings in France? What do you think they were talking about? How he won't take out the garbage and how she put on a couple of extra pounds. Beginning with a short history of how gender has played out in humor, we will discuss the following questions: In what ways do the genders continue to battle out their differences through humor? What is the difference between women's humor and men's humor? Why does comedy tend to be so dominated by men? How do things change when a male or female say the same joke? How does gendered comedy challenge or uphold the values of the status quo? How does the humor of the gay/lesbian/bi/trans community enter into this? Employing audio and video examples and lots of jokes, this workshop, promises a lively, provocative and fun discussion.Lodging: Hilton SFO BayfrontMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

In the early part of the 20th century, Stravinsky elevated ballet music to an unprecedented level in a manner similar to that in which Beethoven had elevated the symphony a century earlier. While Stravinsky's ballets produced strong reactions (at times violent) among Parisian audiences at their premieres, they have grown to be regarded as masterpieces of both the ballet stage and the concert hall. Stravinsky's contributions to the genre will be examined from his first ballet (The Firebird – 1910) to his final ballet (Agon – 1957).

The Troupe by Robert Jackson Bennett
The Troupe, by Robert Jackson Bennett, follows George Carole, a young piano player who has been trying to find the mysterious Silenus Troupe, a group of vaudeville players whose fourth act nobody seems able to ever remember. George believes the leader of the group, Hieromono (Harry) is the father who abandoned his mother long ago. Adding to their mystery is that they are being pursued by the "Grey Men," whom George somehow can see or sense better than anyone else.
Turns out, once George does catch up with the troupe, they are even odder than he had thought, with a strangely detached woman who can bend iron, a doctor whose puppets seem a bit too alive, a Persian dancer, and a mute cello player who becomes more of a father to George than Henry does (to say Henry was shocked by the news would be an understatement).
Soon George is on the run with them from the Grey Men (also known as "wolves") and joins them in their own pursuit of something that may determine the fate of the world. Also in the mix are the personified four seasons and a group of particularly nasty fae. To say more though would be to ruin much of the fun of experiencing The Troupe.
There is a lot more here and to be honest, some might consider it too much. My wife, for example, thought Bennett tried to cram too much into the book and wished he would have been more selective about the fantasy aspects. I actually didn't mind it though because, while he does toss a lot of ingredients into the recipe, I thought that made some sense considering the premise of the Troupe's quest.
Bennett also takes some chances with character here as the two major ones — George and Henry — aren't actually particularly likable for huge chunks of the novel. George is arrogant, selfish, and often oblivious (not all that shocking for his youth, though a bit more than most). Henry is aloof, gruff, and might seem to have some misplaced priorities. These two are somewhat counterpoised by the warmth of Stanley (the cellist) and Frannie.
Meanwhile, Collete the "Persian" allows Bennett to explore youthful infatuation/love and more seriously, racism. And Kingsley, the puppeteer, adds more than a dash of true horror (is there anything more creepy than those damn ventriloquist dummies or too-alive puppets?).
I enjoyed the vaudeville context of the story and actually could have done with more focus on the historical aspect — there is an absolutely brilliant and too short section in second person that takes us through what it was like to perform in vaudeville at the time. But while I would have liked more in that area, I have to say there were some pacing issues here and there and the ending, especially, I thought dragged a bit. In fact, I'd say in general I found the ending (or near-ending) to be the weakest section of the novel.
Despite those few issues, I thoroughly enjoyed The Troupe, reading it in two sittings. Having read Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus and Genevieve Valentine's Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti, I'd have to rank my weird traveling performing troupes books as such:
1) Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti
2) The Troupe
3) The Night Circus
(My memory and nostalgia would actually have me put Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked this Way Comes on top of all of them, but as it's been some years since I've re-read that, I'll just have to say it's in the mix.) Any others out there I should read?

November 27, 2015
(AP) Less than one week before the tax deadline,
President Barack Obama is offering advice on how to take advantage of tax benefits under the Recovery Act.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, the president says the benefits could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars and are available to more than 100 million Americans.
Besides an up to $8,000 deduction for first-time homebuyers and up to $2,500 for college expenses, taxpayers can also deduct up to $1,500 for making energy-efficiency improvements to homes. And state and local taxes can be deducted for new vehicles bought between Feb. 17 and Dec. 31 of last year.
For parents, the child tax credit has been expanded, providing $1,000 for each child under 17.

Idaho running back Richard Montgomery can't escape the grasp of FSU's Christian Jones in Saturday's game at Doak Campbell Stadium.
- Filed Under
How high has the bar been raised for the No. 2 Florida State football team?
After rolling to a 66-point victory on Saturday against visiting Idaho, the Seminoles' defense players mostly wanted to talk about the things that went wrong.
The fact that they allowed Idaho to score 14 points - one touchdown with 41 seconds left in the first half and the other with 42 seconds remaining in the game. That they surrendered 286 passing yards. And all the missed tackles that allowed the Vandals to extend their drives. ...
