As a piece of literature, the latest report from the United Nations' expert organization on climate change is no John Grisham page-turner. Pulled together by 309 authors and editors from 70 countries, the document released this week brings to mind the saying about a camel being a horse designed by committee.
Despite the turgid prose, excessive acronyms and bewildering flow charts, the report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change makes an important contribution, most notably with its new emphasis on adaptation.
Three key takeaways:
What the report also makes clear, however, is that the threat isn't just distant and theoretical. "The effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans," a summary states. "They are occurring from the tropics to the poles, from small islands to large continents, and from the wealthiest countries to the poorest." In the USA, these effects include more intense heat waves and droughts, shrinking snowpack in the Western mountains, and melting glaciers and eroding shorelines in Alaska.
U.S. actions will mean little, however, if developing nations, particularly China, don't also move to curb their emissions. China (9.9 billion metric tons in 2012) passed the U.S. in 2006 as the world's top emitter of CO2 and continues to build coal plants at an alarming rate.
At the U.N. this fall, nations are supposed to offer a mix of commitments to cut carbon pollution and provide funds to help poor nations cope with climate change. That's to be followed by a summit in Lima, Peru, to draft a final treaty and a signing ceremony next year in Paris. If the latest U.N. report prods policymakers to reach a deal after years of inconclusive talks, it will have served an important purpose.
Humans, it turns out, are pretty good at adapting to changing circumstances. People already know how to build dikes and seawalls. Technology can help identify threats. Research and development might produce cleaner energy to replace fossil fuels. Geo-engineering might be able to trim the amount of warming. Advances in agriculture can protect crop yields. Sophisticated risk management practices can be applied to a changing climate.
None of this changes the need to address the drivers of global warming, and one thing the report doesn't spend a lot of space on is the tired debate about the science. It simply notes that the world's leading climate scientists are 95% to 100% certain that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the middle of the 20th century. So every day spent on arguments about whether man-made climate change is real is a day better spent on mitigation and adaptation.

Coloring Book Updates
It seems like a long time ago when I first posted about a project I was working on that would become my first color book. I found out last week that it is now available for pre-sale on Amazon, at a $2 discount! Click on the image below to go directly to the book page on Amazon:
Although it says the publication date is February 2016 I've been told by my publisher that it should be released within the next two months. I'm excited! I'm working with a gallery to perhaps have a weekend event with a related class or two available as well as a "book signing" party. Details will be announced as they become available.
In the meantime I've already started drawings for a second book! Details on that later. :)
Happy coloring!

New Class! Batik Art on Paper
Here are the details about a new class I'm going to present here in the studio. Both sessions are the same, just giving people more options to fit in their schedule. I've been exploring this technique for several months now and feel like I am prepared to help YOU explore it as well! I hope you can join me.

Studio Snippets
A while back I took a little time and went around the studio with my camera, just catching bits and pieces of it that make me happy. Today I thought I'd share those with you! (click images to enlarge)
Does your space have "happy spots" that keep you smiling?

Butterflies everywhere…
I've been working on two large pieces of art featuring butterflies. Today as I was waiting for some of the layers to dry on those two pieces I took time to create three smaller butterfly pieces. Using the batik style I've been fond of lately I started by drawing them with a Sharpie on some hand made paper.
After the outlines were down I added color with my Pitt pens that are full of india ink. Love me some Pitt pens!!
The next couple of steps involve wax being applied on the surface to make a resist when I spray liquid watercolor onto the paper. The first layer of wax just covers the part of the the drawings I don't want to blend with the background color. After that has been sprayed on and dried I cover the entire piece with wax. Then comes the part that continues to make me nervous – wadding up the paper into a tight little ball to crack the wax in a random kind of way. Then (gently) unfolding it and spraying the piece again, this time with a contrast color to make random lines throughout the piece. I used black watercolor on these pieces but have some white ink on order than I'm anxious to try for a different result.
The final step is to place the waxy art between sheets of newspaper and iron it with a hot iron, which pulls the wax out of the art and leaves it on the newspaper. Sometimes this takes a few ironings before it's totally wax free. Ta-da! Art! Well, okay, I did go back in with some gel pens and add a few details. Then the ta-da happened. :)
Rather amusing is that these quick little pieces are more exciting to me than the larger ones are right now! Go figure. I've added these three to the "Giftables" page on my website so go pick out your favorite and give it a home!

ICAD 2015 Challenge – join me!
I recently found out about an awesome art challenge that I plan on participating in this summer. "Index Card A Day" (ICAD) is a 61 day challenge that gets you to exercise your creative muscles each day during the months of June & July! Just a note – this is NOT my brain child (I wish!) it's all part of the Daisy Yellow blog and it's creator. You'll find details, inspiration and prompts for creativity on that site. They're also on Instagram and have a Facebook page for this challenge if you want to follow along there.
What I'd like to do is encourage you to play along and will help get you ready for this challenge by providing a set of index cards and some fun marking tools. I'll include blank index cards for you to do your own thing plus some that have gelli printed backgrounds on them to get you started when you need some inspiration. Here are some of the cards I printed in the studio yesterday:
Along with sending you the cards I plan on adding in a dual-tip black Sharpie (how could I not?), a mechanical pencil and my favorite gel pen – a black "glaze" by Sakura, as well as a clear glaze pen so you can add some shiny "pops" of highlight to your creations.
As you can see, I've got two sets to give away – one set to someone who leaves a comment on this blog post and one set for a commenter on my Facebook page. No strings attached! And, yes, you can comment both places to double your chances! Of course I've got a couple "strings attached" ways for extra entries too. :) If you've not subscribed to this blog yet, that can earn you two additional entries (click on the "sign me up" button at the top/right of this page) and if you've not signed up for my newsletter that will get you another two entries.
SO? Wanna play? I hope so! I'll be selecting the random winners on Tuesday morning, May 19th so I'll have time to get the packages shipped to you before the challenge begins (yes, it's even free shipping!). Good luck!

What an apt title. Sometime I get away from blogging. But I always return. This time with some new art to share. I've been very prolific lately, which is awesome. It just doesn't correlate with regular blogging. Two sides of the brain I think!
Remember a while back when I shared with you all the gelli prints I'd been making? Well I finally decided what I'd do with them. They make AWESOME background for mixed media art! Add in some book pages, decorative & tissue paper, top it off with charcoal outlines and acrylic ink plus some fun designs with pens and voila! Here are a couple of images of the work in progress.
It certainly ends up looking totally different from the starting point! In addition to this artwork I've also complete four large (24×36″) canvases in this style as well as a set of five 6×6″ wood panels. The titles for all the new work come from some of the text that is still visible when the piece is complete. This one had the least text showing of all the new art but from what I could read "sometime" seemed perfect. I'll be deviating from the geometric for the next few pieces but I'm sure I'll return!
Thanks for continuing to follow this blog, it's really appreciated!

Final Art Auction Items up for grabs!
Instead of just giving you a preview this evening I'm letting you know that the last of the new items have been added and are available for bid during the last 24 hours of the fundraising art auction! With many people traveling for the Easter weekend it gives you a bit longer to get your bids in before you leave and, I won't have to worry about getting it online and active in the morning either. :)
A few of the new items were featured in advertising, so if you've been looking for them here they are! Additionally there is a class for two, a class for TWELVE and a portrait photo shoot up for bid.
Now, a request. The last few days the bids have been dwindling. I know you are probably getting tired of reading and hearing about it but I really, really need your help in sharing this info so we can raise as much money as possible these last 24 hours! It doesn't take long to click "share", write a quick e-mail or tweet about it so help as much as you can. Thank you~
P.S. If you hadn't heard yet we received a $200 donation to be applied to this lovely piece of art (that was generously donated by artist Doug Arnholter) – making this an even better opportunity for you to own this piece of art!

Thursday Auction Preview
Yup, it's still going on! I hope you've visited the auction site to learn why I'm raising money – and to place a bid or two!
As it turns out I did find one more "theme" for the daily auction items. Thursday's items will all be related to printmaking, gelatin prints specifically. I love to create these fun piece, they are full of surprises and happy accidents. In addition to a class for two to learn this fun art form I've also got some matted, ready to frame pieces up for auction that are new…they've not been on my website, page or blog before. Consider this not just their debut but your chance to get them at a great price too. :)
You can click on the smaller images to see them in a larger format. Friday will bring the last six "one day only" items – including a class for two, a class for TWELVE and a photo session! Details on that tomorrow!
Posted by L.M. on April 1, 2015
Wednesday Auction Preview
I so, so, SO appreciate everyone bidding, sharing and promoting this event! So before I share what's coming Wednesday I just wanted to give you all a big THANK YOU! That being said…I'm going to ask for more. More bids, more sharing, more positive vibes, whatever you've got. Three more days left to make a big impact on a family in need. So I've got some special deals for Wednesday. If you've not noticed the last two days had a "theme" of sorts, shadow box art class & shadow box art on Monday followed by a rock painting class and digital art created using textures of rocks. Today's preview is no different! If you know me and my art, you'd have to expected a Mandala themed day!
In addition to the class these mandala art pieces are going to be up for bid too! Click on the small image to see details and a larger image of each piece.
Thursday & Friday are not as thematic but I'm throwing in some extra special offers so that makes up for it, right? Auction Site! Keep up the good work and thank you again! Lynne

"Most EDs across the nation don't have pharmacists. They have a central pharmacy that processes orders, and have limited hours," says Larison. "By having the ED pharmacy, we head off potential problems before they occur. We can clarify patient allergies for physicians and determine cross-sensitivity to avoid adverse reactions."
Pharmacists are assigned around-the-clock to the Sarasota Memorial Hospital emergency department. "From a business perspective, it enhances the patient care and there are overall decreased costs," Larison says. Pharmacists have reviewed drug supplies in the hospital and there have been reduced costs in budgets when it was determined some pharmaceuticals were not needed as much as others, she says.
"We actually saved money by significantly decreasing the amount of drugs we don't use," Larison says. "If we can intervene at the outset, that is the best choice for better outcomes."
Although Sarasota officials are still compiling revenue figures on pharmacists assigned for the ED, studies conducted for the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, show significant savings for hospitals, Larison says. In one of the largest studies, in 2003, pharmacists participated over a four-month period in the care of 1,042 patients triaged in the ED, and 2,150 pharmacist interventions were documented—which included recommendations for drug adjustment, alternative drug therapy, drug compatibility, and other issues. The overall savings amounted to about $1 million, according to the study.
The ASHSP has recommended that every pharmacy department provide the ED with pharmacy services to ensure safe and effective patient care. Only a small percentage of hospitals now have pharmacists in the ED, but the numbers are growing, according to Larison.
The idea is "to assist the physicians and nurses and enhance the care of the patients," she says.

Just to add to Wally's compelling "do not obstruct windows" suggestion: Another reason is that artificial lighting close to the windows can be arranged & controlled to only come on when the lumens of the natural day light goes to too low of a level. This is what we have done as we are installing our new LED lights. We already had a very precise light level sensor with a relay switching output ... so just using another set of relay contacts allows for the energy savings with no loss of actual usable lumens. It was a very straightforward implementation. To be able to see in is also better for a gain of safety to our customers; from my perspective.

With how good the West's forwards are I don't think they should have more than 4 guards. If they do, I think in this season Ty should be 5th in line since Westbrook is out. He's been better than Goran, Monta, Isaiah, Bledsoe, Conley, Parker, Jrue and Klay.

bilstein 5100s
From what I read I cant run the bilstein 5100s and a coil lift together is this correct? how much lift will just the 5100s give in the front to a stock vehicle?
also I see that they offer a rear shock 1" lift anyone running these? wondering if I ran the front at 2.8" and rears at 1" if it would sit level. What is everyone on here running with them?
The highest setting for the front Bilsteins is 2.8". No you cannot run Bilsteins and a strut spacer together. The back shocks do not provide any additional lift. The only way too add rear lift is longer springs or coil spacers.
No one on this forum can truly tell you what set up is going to level your truck without knowing the measurements. You need to go out and measure all 4 fender heights on your truck and find out how much factory rake you have. Then you'll know what to set the Bilsteins at. Keep in mind you want to retain at least 0.5" of rake to avoid looking nose high.
Ok I think i see what your saying so if I want to lift the rear I would need new spring or spacer and a shock
You don't necessarily need new shocks if you lift the rear... that depends on how much you lift it. If you're only putting a 1" coil spacer in I wouldn't worry about new shocks.
This ties back to what Brandon said about the longer coil or rear coil spacer.
k right on thanks to both of you
Is anyone out there running bilsteins at 2.8 with a 1" or 2" rear spacer with no other lift? if so what kind of height did you gain? thanks!

NEW YORK (AP) - Hearings on the grievance to overturn Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension recessed Friday for a month after Major League Baseball completed its direct case.
Rob Manfred, MLB's chief operating officer, completed his testimony Friday. Rodriguez's legal team will call witnesses when the hearing resumes, likely the week of Nov. 18.
MLB disciplined Rodriguez following its investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, alleging the New York Yankees third baseman violated the sport's drug agreement and labor contract.
The group Hispanics Across America, which has been demonstrating outside MLB's office in support of Rodriguez during the hearings, took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on Friday. The ad included a photograph of Commissioner Bud Selig at the top adjacent to a headline: ''Who is Public Enemy No. 1 in Baseball?''
''Bud Selig is a disgrace to the game, to the players and to our children,'' read the ad, signed by HAA President and founder Fernando Mateo. ''He turned a blind eye on issues involving HGH and steroids until Hispanics Across America delivered three caskets to his door steps with a name and date of birth in 2004. Willful blindness should be punishable and Bud Selig and his executives have not been punished. Why? That's why we are fighting for justice for Alex Rodriguez.''
The Times reported on its website that while it doesn't reveal an advertisement's cost, a full-page, black-and-white advocacy ad in that category costs more than $100,000.
''Every person who's ever given a dime to Hispanics Across America ought to be asking why that organization spent $100,000 on an ad attacking the executive who has done more to rid professional sports of performance-enhancing drugs than any other and supporting an admitted drug user,'' Manfred said in a telephone interview.
In other A-Rod news, lawyers for Rodriguez and MLB agreed to push back a federal court conference on the player's lawsuit against the league and Selig from Oct. 24 to Nov. 7.

They won't. As explained before, it's convention floor exclusive footage. Just like the other footage they've shown their, which is why these get leaked in the first place. The only reason we're seeing this is because someone has decided to uploaded online and screw the no recording policy! LOL
I don't even think the "Thor" or "Captain America" footage was included in their DVD releases ( maybe wrong about that). Still have yet to see the "Doctor Who" footage or "Iron Man 3" footage leak yet online. So they're tightening things down more and more.

Review for The Dance Complex, Cambridge, MA, USA
I travel a lot, but dance is in my soul. Whenever I'm in the Boston area, I head for The Dance Complex. It always feels like coming home. Last year, they did major changes, for the better, to the lobby. It was beautiful and still regal and comforting at the same time. A treasure, for sure, no matter what style of dance you like, or how good you are. The Dance Complex is the best.

+ Posted by Grace Chen // Director, PlayStation Store
This week's store update is jam-packed full of new releases, pre-orders and more. The biggest full game releases this week are FIFA Soccer 13, which is available on PS3, PS Vita and PSP, Dead or Alive 5 and the digital version of LittleBigPlanet PS Vita.

Take a closer look at the pink RAZR V3's functions.
Calling Features
The RAZR V3's internal phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts, and the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless's MEdia service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names.
Because the RAZR V3 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total hands-free operation.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is also supported via AOL Instant Messenger, and the phone ships with a built-in e-mail client with support for POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols (Cingular messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in Web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile Web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send e-mails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built in to the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the RAZR V3 as it supports Cingular's GSM-based Wireless Internet Express service. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and an alarm clock. Use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.
Imaging and Entertainment
With 5 MB of internal memory storage, the RAZR V3 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA camera features a 4x zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The RAZR V3 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers, so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.
Support for gaming is built into the phone and games are available for download via the Cingular MEdia service.
Operating the RAZR Battery Door
The RAZR V3's battery cover is designed to have a very tight fit with the phone case. You may need to use your fingernail or a very thin instrument to depress the small battery cover release button. When replacing the cover, make sure the cover securely snaps into place before operating the phone.
Vital Statistics
The Motorola RAZR V3 weighs 3.35 ounces and measures 3.86 by 2.09 by 0.54 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.67 hours of digital talk time and up to 250 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

monochrom's Johannes Grenzfurthner with Amanda Palmer at Blue Bird Festival 2013
Don't give Johannes Grenzfurthner a mic.
Occupy East India Trading Company (monochrom @ TEDxVienna)
For a century, the EAST INDIA COMPANY conquered, subjugated and plundered vast tracts of south Asia. The lessons of its brutal reign have never been more relevant.
The East India Company was an anomaly without a parallel in the history of the world. Most people have never even heard of it or don't know that it came to be one of the pillars of early global capitalism – and the source of horrible suffering for many, many people.
For all the power wielded today by the world's largest corporations – whether ExxonMobil or Google – they are tame beasts compared with the ravaging territorial appetites of the militarised East India Company. Yet if history shows anything, it is that in the intimate dance between the power of the state and that of the corporation, while the latter can be regulated, it will use all the resources in its power to resist.
Traceroute: Movie completed and submitted to first batch of film festivals
monochrom and Andreas Reisenbauer Film & Multimediaproduktion present Traceroute.
Artist and life-long nerd Johannes Grenzfurthner is taking us on a personal road trip from the West Coast to the East Coast of the USA, to introduce us to places and people that shaped and inspired his art and politics. Traceroute wants to chase and question the ghosts of nerddom's past, present and future. An exhilarating tour de farce into the guts of trauma, obsession and cognitive capitalism.

monochrom in Boston: Context Hacking @ Boston University
A talk by Johannes Grenzfurthner, monochrom.
The term "context hacking"—like its older mimetic sibling "communication guerilla"—refers to unconventional forms of communication and/or intervention in more conventional processes of communication. Context hacking is a specific style of political action drawing from a watchful view of the paradoxes and absurdities of power, turning these into the starting point for interventions by playing with representations and identities, with alienation and over-identification.
"It's a bug hunt!!" featured in 'The Art of Future Warefare'
Indeed! 'The Art of Future Warefare' featured our little mash-up!
Artists Johannes Grenzfurthner and James Brothwell from monochrom have taken the iconic M41A rifle from the 1986 film Aliens and placed it in the hands of a Muppet — Kermit The Frog. The incongruous 1950s style pop art drawing is titled It's A Bug Hunt — fitting given a frog's natural appetite and Kermit's origins in that post-war decade. Those who have seen the film will recall the memorable line uttered by the film's laconic Corporal Hicks, a United States Colonial Marine who sees through his commanding officer's spin on their orders to investigate some kind of alien life form, a xenomorph. In the end, the 22nd Century's most advanced weapons and fiercest fighters are no match for what they find.

monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.

- stage II cervical cancer
- listen (... SER-vih-kul KAN-ser)
Cancer has spread beyond the uterus but not onto the pelvic wall (the tissues that line the part of the body between the hips) or to the lower third of the vagina. Stage II is divided into stages IIA and IIB, based on how far the cancer has spread. In stage IIA, cancer has spread beyond the cervix to the upper two thirds of the vagina but not to tissues around the uterus. Stage IIA is divided into stages IIA1 and IIA2, based on the size of the tumor. In stage IIA1, the tumor can be seen without a microscope and is not more than 4 centimeters. In stage IIA2, the tumor can be seen without a microscope and is more than 4 centimeters. In stage IIB, cancer has spread beyond the cervix to the tissues around the uterus but not onto the pelvic wall.

Home > > Books & Media > Met Publications > Masterpieces of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism: The Annenberg Collection
This revised and expanded edition of the original catalogue, published two decades ago, presents more than fifty masterworks by 18 of the greatest artists of the period. Notable for the astonishing quality of its individual works and for its range, the collection celebrates the many facets of avant-garde art as it unfolded in paintings ranging from Corot�s fresh-faced young girl of the early 1860s to Picasso�s world-weary harlequin of 1905. The landscape of France is seen in alluring variety: sunlit garden scenes by the Impressionists and iconic vistas of Provence by Van Gogh and C�zanne join seaside views by Seurat and Braque in which Pointillist calculation gives way to riotous Fauve color. The scope of the artists� devotion to still life and flower painting embraces the exquisite harmonies of Fantin-Latour�s fine-tuned bouquets as well as the bold grandeur of Monet�s late water lilies. Other signature subjects are handsomely represented by works that showcase Degas�s dancers and milliners, Renoir�s rosy nudes, Gauguin�s Tahitians, Toulouse-Lautrec�s streetwalkers, Matisse�s odalisques, and Vuillard�s domestic interiors. Among the numerous highlights are such benchmark pictures as C�zanne�s early portrait of his Uncle Dominique, Renoir�s Daughters of Catulle Mend�s, Monet�s Camille Monet on a Garden Bench, Van Gogh�s La Berceuse, and Picasso�s At the Lapin Agile. This richly illustrated and fully documented volume includes in-depth discussions of each of the works of art, written by leading experts in the field. Their insightful texts, benefiting from the latest scholarly and technical findings, are accompanied by newly updated provenance information, exhibition histories, and references. A comprehensive bibliography and index are provided at the back of the book.

To the Editor:
As I look at my calender, I am quite surprised to find that yesterday was President's day, a day honoring George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. Can you explain to me why we do not celebrate this holiday?
Last year I spent a term in Zimbabwe. Spending three months in a nation where its founding fathers have placed their own interests ahead of the people's gave me a renewed respect for our founding leaders and great presidents. It made me realize how much more respect we should pay these leaders. In many ways, all of this wealth around us, in scholarship and freedom and health, is their responsibility.
When one considers these facts, it is ungrateful and disgraceful that Dartmouth College — as an institution and as a student body — completely ignores this day. For this reason I ask that each member of our community take a few moments some time this week to stop and look around. Notice that you live in a nation unscarred by war or famine for more than a century, where you as a student have the freedom to choose your own future and strive to reach your own goals, where you may vote for your leaders and express your opinions without fear of government interference.
It is tempting to take these freedoms and privileges for granted, but we should not. We have these benefits because our past leaders, again and again, put us ahead of their own self-interest. And so, on the day our nation supposedly celebrates Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, I ask you to simply take a few minutes to thank these great men for all that they have given you.
Happy President's Day.

In 'Bold Operation,' South Korean Commandos Kill Pirates, Rescue Crew
"In an unprecedented rescue operation, South Korean naval special forces raided a hijacked [South Korean] freighter in the Arabian Sea Friday, freeing all 21 crewmen and killing eight Somali pirates," Yonhap News writes.
The news agency adds that:
President Lee Myung-bak praised the bold operation in a nationally televised address, saying, 'Our military carried out the operation perfectly under difficult circumstances. I appreciate it and send a message of encouragement'."
According to NPR staff and other wire services:
"The top-secret operation reportedly lasted about five hours, and photographs from the raid show commandos crouching on the deck of the Samho Jewelry, which was captured by pirates on Jan. 15. Commandos scrambled up a ladder onto the ship, aboard which the pirates were armed with AK assault rifles and anti-tank missiles. A South Korean destroyer and hovering Lynx helicopter provided covering fire."

The Company plans to expand its 3G+ networks to all regional centres in the Volgograd region. Rostelecom subscribers will be able to experience faster mobile internet and access modern, interactive services using their smartphones, USB modems and tablets. Alexander Shipulin, Vice President and Director of Rostelecom's southern macro-regional branch, commented: "Rostelecom is gradually implementing its 3G network construction programme, and it is now coming to the Volgograd region. The benefits of our 3G+ network for our subscribers in the Volograd region will include high data transfer speeds and a competitive range of tariff plans and options." In light of the growing demand for mobile data transfer service, Rostelecom's 3G+ network was installed using the modern HSPA+ technology.

The Company plans to upgrade its network to reach the maximum speed of up to 42MB/s in the future. In the long-term, a modern, sustainable, efficient and multi-standard mobile phone network will be created in the Volgograd region, which will combine the advantages of all standards, resulting in high quality voice services and data transfer. At present, 120 new generation base stations have been installed in the Volgograd region, which provides coverage for Volgograd and Volzhsky. As a result, 3G+ network services are currently available to over 45% of the region's population. 3G+ networks have been built and tested in 24 Russian regions and have been commercially launched in 17 regions. In total, the Company is planning to establish more than 8,000 base stations. Ericsson and Huawei are providing technical equipment and solutions for the project. A 3G+ network will be launched in the Krasnodar Krai in summer 2013.

The second key area of debate in risk management turns on the extent to which risk management regimes should be more or less "blame-orientated".
Those who favour a high-blame approach argue that effective risk management depends on the design of incentive structures that place strict financial and legal liability for risk onto those who are in the best position to take action to minimize risk. This principle has a long history in law and economics, particularly in discussion of the famous "Hand formula" in American law and its analogues (Posner 1986:147-51). The claim is that, if liability is not precisely targeted on specific and appropriate decision-makers, a poorly designed institutional incentive structure will allow avoidable failures to occur. Without close targeting of liability, there will be too little incentive for care to be taken by those key decision-makers in organizations who are capable of creating hazards, and (the argument goes) "risk externalization" will be encouraged. Policies should, therefore, aim to support expanded corporate legal liability, more precisely targeted insurance premium practices, and regulatory policies that have the effect of "criminalizing" particular management practices and of laying sanctions directly on key decision-makers within corporations, rather than trusting corporations as undifferentiated legal persons (cf. Fisse & Braithwaite 1988).
The "blame" argument manifests itself in several ways. Some large business corporations build into their corporate safety policies a strategy for the dismissal of individual employees found to be responsible for safety violations. And some contributors to the risk management debate argue that avoidable accidents and failures may result from insufficiently individualized insurance (as in the case where government acts as its own insurer or where it introduces "insurance asymmetry" (Shrader-Frechette 1991:88) by limiting third-party liability, as in the case of the us Price-Anderson Act limiting third-party liability of nuclear power plant opera
