A Xiongnu Cemetery Found in Mongolia
Allard, Francis, Erdenebaatar, Diimaajav, Batbold, Natsagyn, Miller, Bryan, Antiquity
In July 2001, members of the Khanuy Valley International Collaborative Project on Early Nomadic Pastoralism in Mongolia identified a previously unrecorded cemetery believed to be associated with the Xiongnu, a powerful confederacy of nomadic pastoralists that arose during the late 3rd century BC north of the Chinese state and that came to control a large portion of present-day Mongolia and surrounding regions over the following centuries. Named Gol Mod-2, the cemetery is located in Ondor Ulaan sum of Arkhangai aimag in central Mongolia, 12 km east of the Khanuy valley and 15 km southeast of Urt Bulagyn khirigsuur, a large Bronze Age funerary/ ceremonial complex in the valley which is presently the focus of on-going archaeological investigations by the collaborative project.
A systematic survey covering an area of 3-5 sq. km identified the limits of the cemetery, which extends 2.2 km west-east and 1.3 km north-south. It is bordered to its south and east by the Bugatiin nuruu mountains, to its west by a sandy area, and to its north by the Elsetiin gol, a small stream that is part of the Khanuy river drainage (FIGURE 1). The coordinates of major tombs were determined using a GPS, while a tape-measure and compass were used to establish the dimensions of all tombs and the locations of all small burials and structures situated near larger tombs.
The survey identified a number of different tomb types and structures. The largest burials are those with a ramp leading up to a level platform. A total of 98 of these were identified, including 91 with clear four-sided platforms. The platform's northern end is often wider than the southern side that connects it to the ramp, while the ramps are themselves usually narrower at their ground level entrance. Located near the northwestern edge of the cemetery, the largest tomb is 83 m long, with the 3-m tall platform measuring 46 m in length and the visible portion of the ramp 37 m (FIGURE 2). The smallest tomb with a ramp is 8 m long and 5 m wide, with the platform lying at ground level (FIGURE 3). The orientation of these tombs varies between 329[degrees] and 002[degrees], a relatively narrow range that suggests a consistent funerary practice. Rather than pointing to a specific topographical landmark to the north, however, these tombs simply appear to display a general orientation toward the bottom of the gentle slope and the stream. The survey also located straight and curved rows of stones to the immediate north of some of the large tombs.
The remaining burials, all of these circular, are of two types. The first group includes small `satellite' burials attached to tombs with ramps, with large tombs often accompanied by many such burials. …

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

The National Preservation Conference is this week in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Staff members from around the National Trust for Historic Preservation will be blogging from the conference and sharing their experiences.
Welcome to Tulsa. I'm not going to try and be charming and state that all of my misconceptions of this city have been proven false over the past two days, to be honest, I had very few conceptions of the city to begin with. Outside of Noah Vanderhoff's layover story in Wayne's World, and an appreciation for TU basketball (three national championship-winning coaches have the Golden Hurricanes on their resume), I had very little background on the city altogether. I do have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised with what it has to offer.
I received my first "howdy" while running through the Blue Dome district Saturday afternoon, and the city has been nothing but friendly and helpful ever since. Blue Dome is a great downtown area. Located just about ten city blocks north our hotel, and named after a robin's-egg-blue domed structure on the corner of Elgin Avenue and Second Street, the area has several taverns and pubs that are full of local flavor, good conversation, and live music. Some of the conference staff hung out at Arnie's on Saturday night, a live music joint next to the dome. Tulsa certainly has a vibe running through it -- it's that dirty, weird, coolness that you find in places like Arnie's -- an energy that makes a city passed over by many East Coasters a truly great place to visit.

yeye whatever, when will you realise THERE IS NO GOD?! oh myyyyyy such a disaaaster
Ears are too small, i would like to see the nose a bit wider too, head is too tall, reast looks fins
this is ********, **** you blizzard, ruining a game like that =/
the tale of why this isnt being developed for PC x)
looks awesome!
looks perfect for TF2 <3
thanks guys:)
pretty high, but since the one i made it for is fine with it... AND he wants me to att polies (make it less sharp)
anyway its 1546 quads&tris, and i really havent found a way of re ducing it withoug removing important geometry
well i dont know lol xD was an impulse thing, i got so annoyed with the upper half of the head so i gave up and just made some silly things with the crease brush
u need to work on those torches heh, but other than that it looks brilliant!
the excuse that the engine is to complex is really just bullcrap, there are more, and there is less experienced modders, heck there are modders who could make their own engine if they had the time to
really cool looking helmet O__o very nice model and texture work
yeah naruto is crap x)
roof of the left and the building next to the soldier thingy needs work: lacking of detail and is looking quite messy
other than that you got some cool stuff going on here.
well he would need solid proof, and he havent shown any proof yet..
iam not even going to go into the whole stolen model thing, not worth it.
great model.
screen shot is made by pressing the pint screen button (prnt scrn) on the keyboard then pasting it into paint (ctrl + v)
great job on the textures!
oh my god thats a hawt render setting!
the lower parts (handle) of the model looks quite blocky and messy, also parts of it looks very uncofirmatable to hold onto, since its so blocky (giivng of a sharp look)
the upper part looks brilliant though
just need working on those animations, but i supppose its a placeholder? x) you got some amazing lightning going on there, graphically very impressive
you got some great stuff going on here! cool! watching :)
well, I tend to buy indie games more often than AAA titels
same quality, less money.
60$ or 10$ for the same, or better quality? 10$ ofc.
I am totally supportive of demos, but theyre getting fewer and fewer, as the greater companies say: "they cost to produce", and thats true.
however, I have definitly seen a decrease in demos, both on indie and AAA, which is quite sad.
I try before I buy, and if I see a demo I grab that one instead of the torrent.
Also: Multiplayer helps, i know all games cant have it, but it helps
thanks :)
they miight get in problem if they do that though?
the verson shouldnt be a problem here x) do you use gimp or photoshop for texturing?
if your going with maya or 3ds max you better be cash ready.
Blender is a good choice, but a lot different than 3ds max or maya
here is my DA: Alioli1.deviantart.com
thanks, ive done head modelling before, in 3ds max, however its a lot easier when sculpting i fint it, so iam definitly going to keep doing organic stuff in Zbrush

Appeals Court Upholds Lower Court Ruling on Finra Damage Suits
An appeals court ruled that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and present and former officers including Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Mary Schapiro are immune from lawsuits in connection with the creation of the brokerage industry regulatory body.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals let stand a district court ruling related to the consolidation in 2007 of the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. with the regulatory arm of the New York Stock Exchange to form Finra, according to a decision filed yesterday in Manhattan.
Standard Investment Chartered Inc. had appealed the lower-court ruling, charging that officers of the NASD, of which it was a member, had made misstatements related to a proxy solicitation in 2006. NASD was amending its bylaws at the time to make them conform with the New York Stock Exchange's. Standard claimed that the defendants misrepresented on the proxy solicitation that a payment of no more than $35,000 could be given to each member.
"We are pleased with the decision," Nancy Condon, a spokeswoman for Finra, said in an e-mail.
George Hill, chief executive of Costa Mesa, California-based Standard Investment, didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
The district court dismissed the lawsuit last March, ruling that the defendants as "quasi-governmental organizations" and their officers were entitled to immunity relating to the proxy.
Defendants in the suit included the NASD, the NYSE, Finra, Schapiro, Richard Brueckner, chairman of Pershing LLC, and Howard Schloss, a senior vice president at Finra. Schapiro was CEO of the NASD in 2006 when it combined with the NYSE's regulatory body.
The case is Standard Investment Chartered Inc. v. NASD, 10-945, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Manhattan).

Hello there! I'm Misty Kearns, I have been a Direct Sales Leader for over 8 years now. I started for the discount with no intention of building a business. After losing my full time job & not wanting to go back to the corporate world, being deeply in debt & wanting something more for my life, I decided to dive into the business. I found out I loved direct sales & my life was forever changed! I was able to replace my full time income in less than 6 months & less than a year after losing that job I earned my first free trip to Hawaii. I consistently placed in the Top 20 Directors for my Region & even as #17 Director in the US & Canada for 2008-2009. It has been am amazing journey becoming a CEO of Me, not always easy, but always worth it.
Direct sales offers so many rewards beyond an income & recognition though. I think the real reward of having your own direct sales business is how it can be the vehicle to helping you reach the bigger goals and dreams you have for your life. I have earned free trips, the keys & title to my own convertible & more prizes than I can remember but gaining self worth, confidence and being able to live life on my terms while being my own boss has been life-changing! The most rewarding part however has been the relationships, friendships, the people that I have been able to connect with & to help them as they reach their own goals.
Through being a team leader, I learned that my true passion is empowering & teaching others how to build their own successful business. That is why I created CEO of Me in 2011 & became a Success Coach in 2013. I love helping people develop the mindset & skills to dream bigger, work smarter & live better as they achieve their own goals.
My training and coaching is all built upon developing the mindset of success, learning & implementing systems for success and becoming an authentic marketer. I believe in servant leadership & empowering others to reach their goals. I don't believe in being pushy or fake - in sales or in my coaching. Nice girls (and boys) can be successful too! I do my best to personally connect with each person who joins my programs & help those who are in the CEO of Me community. It would be my privilege to work with you & train you on the same systems, strategies and tools I have used to be so successful, organized and in control of my life & business.
My training & tools will help you dream bigger, work smarter & live better as you create a business that you love! Choose the option that best fits your goals & I will help you start transforming your business today:
I'm just getting started or only looking to get organized for right now.
The CEO of Me Success Planner System is a great tool (with bonus training) to get started with. It includes over 120 Planning Pages & 2 Hours of Systems for Success Training.

PLUS you will receive both the Success Planner AND your first year's Membership in the Success Club for FREE!
Misty has exceeded my expectations once again! My planner is helping me get organized and stop procrastinating. The party and vendor lists are great, it has items that I hadn't thought of. Love it! - Tricia Clements, Dezi Roo
This planner helps me stay organized because I can print & arrange it according to my needs. My wine tasting events are more fun because I can keep track of what themes I have used, wines & pairings we have tasted and what really worked to make my tastings super fun. I have actually increased my bookings because I can make my tastings completely different every time & have all my repeat guests & hostesses (there are MANY MANY repeat guests & hostesses) "wowed" every time! I am so happy I found this site & planner!!! Laurie S. - Traveling Vineyard
Thank you, Misty, for this invaluable training (in the 8 week course). I learned so many tips that I can start using immediately to grow my business. I have so much more confidence that I can succeed now. You gave me a solid action plan to follow for both personal and professional development. - A.M.
What I enjoy most about working with Misty is how down to earth she is and how she makes herself available to answer questions, give support and advice to everyone in the club and course. I have been in other direct sales membership programs and the coaches have never been that supportive or 1 on 1 with me. Sara S.
It's Time to Stop dreaming & start taking action!

Book News: Charles Wright, Who Writes Of God And Nature, To Be Poet Laureate
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- The Library of Congress says the next U.S. poet laureate will be Charles Wright, a 78-year-old retired University of Virginia professor who has said he believes "the true purpose of poetry to be a contemplation of the divine," or, as he wrote in one of his poems, "Every true poem is a spark, / and aspires to the condition of the original fire." Born in Tennessee and having lived most of his life in the South, Wright is the award-winning author of meditative poems about nature, God, the past, and often, his own backyard — "Landscape, as Wang Wei says, softens the sharp edges of isolation," he wrote in one poem. "Landscape's a lever of transcendence," he wrote in another. "I'm very honored and flattered to be picked, but also somewhat confused," Wright told The New York Times. "I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. But as soon as I find out, I'll do it." Wright's selection is to be officially announced later today. Librarian of Congress James Billington told the paper that he chose Wright because of a "combination of literary elegance and genuine humility — it's just the rare alchemy of a great poet."
- Leslie Jamison, essayist and uncontested queen of my heart for her collection The Empathy Exams, has signed with Little, Brown for two new books. According to Little, Brown, the upcoming books are Archive Lush, "an exploration of addiction that upends the traditional recovery memoir, blending cultural criticism, journalistic reporting and literary criticism with the author's own narrative," and Ghost Essays, "about haunting and obsession, love and loneliness."
- Mindy Kaling told the Los Angeles Times that she's writing a collection of personal essays to be called Why Not Me? "So much has happened between the time I published my first book and now," she said in an interview. "The show; my mother passed away; so many of my friends have gotten married. I'm a godmother now, and a homeowner. There's so much that has happened in that period of time that I wanted to write another book."
- Rowan Ricardo Phillips has a new poem, "Kingdom Come," in The Paris Review:
"Not knowing the difference between Heaven
And Paradise, he called them both Heaven.
So when he shrugged at the thought of a god
Blanched in the lights of implausible heights,
Thumbing the armrests of a throne, that was
Heaven. And when he stared out at the sea,
Feeling familiar to himself at last,
He called that Heaven, too."

Very nice photo!
September 18, 2012 is the fourth anniversary of this bridge. The construction of the bridge lasted less than 11 months.
Its predecessor, built in 1967, collapsed in August 1, 2007.
Nick, thanks for the comment and for reminding me that the anniversary is the 18th; I was actually down there the morning it opened at 5:00am, you can see my post here and check the ones after it. I'll have to find a new image for the 18th.

Aquin's offense ran about as well as it could Tuesday night. Its defense was just as overwhelming for Lena-Winslow.
Aquin's offense ran about as well as it could Tuesday night.
Its defense was just as overwhelming for Lena-Winslow.
The Bulldogs earned another win at the 53rd Annual Forreston Holiday Tournament, beating the Panthers 64-35.
Aquin (7-0) held Le-Win to just three points in the first quarter on 1 for 8 shooting and the defense didn't let up much throughout the rest of the game.
"We tried to exploit what we wanted to exploit and put a lot of pressure on them," Aquin coach Rich Chang said. "We got a 10 second call and they turned the ball over quite a bit early.
"I think it was just the pressure and we rotated to the help side very well."
On the other end of the floor, the Bulldogs were rolling. Andrew Martin scored 15 of his game-high 20 points in the first half and Aquin shot 4 for 8 from the 3-point line.
Le-Win coach Kyle Benson said he tried to mix in different defenses against Aquin, especially during the Bulldogs 22-3 run in the first, but only managed to barely slow them down.
"We tried a bunch of things," Benson said. "Even in the first half we tried a zone even if it didn't look like it sometimes.
"To their credit, they were on such a good rhythm offensively, I don't know if anything would have upset them tonight. They played really well."
Aquin led 40-13 at halftime and didn't take its foot off the gas in the third quarter. The Bulldogs scored 17 points and for the second time, held Le-Win to a single-digit quarter.
"We just tried to play really good team defense," Martin said. "We were hustling as hard we could to defend."
Aiden Chang added: "When we did give them second-chance opportunities, we really crashed the boards, which we wanted to do all game."
Aquin moves on to the tournament semifinals and will take on Oregon Thursday night at 8 p.m. in the high school gym.
Oregon 56, River Ridge 33
Oregon proved too much for River Ridge in the quarterfinal.
No Wildcats player could muster up a double-digit scoring output Tuesday.
Brendan Dauphin scored a team-high seven points for River Ridge. The Wildcats will take on Le-Win Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Forreston 47, Orangeville 32
The host Cardinals bounced back following a close loss to River Ridge last Saturday with a win against the Broncos.
Nick Ludwig scored a game-high 16 points while Orangeville's Bryce Brown scored 11 and Tanner Kleckler had 10.
Forreston will take on Dakota Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Dakota 44, Morrison 32
The Indians trailed 25-20 at halftime and 30-27 through three quarters.
Page 2 of 2 - But Dakota clamped down in the fourth, allowing just two points, which put the team over the top with an eight-point victory.
Brett Benning scored a game-high 22 points.

This is the second clinque product i've tried, the first being clinque all about eyes cream which was an awful product and didn't help my dark circles at all. This on the other hand is quite amazing, its creamy in texture and goes on smoothly but does require some extra patting to make sure its all blended in. Overall it covers my dark circles about 60% which is the most any concealer has. It has a nice light reflection to it as well so it doesn't look so cakey, and you get a decent amount for your money

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! It has been sitting in my drawer for over 3yrs now. At first it was okay but didn't seem to cover. I reminded myself I should return it and when the time came I couldn't find the receipt. So I've kept it. It cost so much that I couldn't part with it but it just didn't really conceal, look natural (it caked & creased), and I couldn't find a way to use this. I thought "I'll tuck it away and will like it or be able to find a way to use it in the future". HAHAHAHA nope. It's still there and I'm still pissed I paid so much for something that just does not work.

there are better drugstore concealer better than this one. I got this a few days ago and I'm returning it. It doesn't conceal my dark circles; i had to put layers and layers, and it still didn't work. It doesn't last either, so what's really the point? I have definitely returning this!

I wish I had read these review before buying this product. I have pretty bad, blue/purple dark circles. I bought the concealer in 02, which has a yellowish/salmon color to it. The first time I used it, it looked very dry, creased and faded throughout the day. I then mixed it with my hard candy heavy duty concealer which turned out way better then using it alone; but what is the point of using a concealer that has to be paired with another one just to make it good? I still prefer my hard candy concealer because it completely covers my dark circles and wears better than this stuff. Overall, I think if you want to buy this product you need to have very moisturized skin, slight dark circles and no wrinkles under your eyes to make it work...(which is pretty much impossible)

I have been getting by on this concealer for about 6 mnths and knew something wasn't quite right. Now after reading these reviews i totally agree, i can never get this product to look natural. It always looks dry and cakey, settles into fine lines and doesn't really cover my dark circles. Paula from "don't go to the cosmetics counter without me" (book) recommended this, but i just don't!

i got it n it was an EPIC FAIL!!! im mean it was natural n i looked great but dont stand to close after 30min. cuz it gets cakey n nasty looking. i was mad cuz there not much in the tube n under diff lighting the color changed. n its super luqidy. i thought powder would make a diff. WRONG!! it made matters worse so i just dicied to return the product n look for a new one. (WHICH I HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!) i bought this like in june though i just posted my comment late ><

I did not like this concealer AT ALL. I expected it to be much better.
It just didnt conceal well, didnt look natural, it caked, it was hard to apply, and even the palest shade was a few shades too dark for me. Shade match was terrible and so was the concealer itself. I bought it in sweden, which I guess makes it a bit more expensive, so I gave it a 3. The tube gets messy. even though this is super creamy, its way too thick, and still doesnt cover my dark circles.

I always have dark circles, no matter how much i sleep. This is the only one product that I�m using for a long time (3 years). Medium petal (04) is perfect for me. Covers dark circles, litlle bit highlits that area, Texture is great, not to creasy, dosent get into my pores, holds all day.

I am actually surprised by all the negative reviews of this product. I have horrible dark circles (its genetic no amount of sleep or eye cream seems to make an iota of difference), and I have no choice but to conceal them if I don't want to resemble a zombie and frighten small children. This concealer is very good. I have tried many, all price points, and this one does the trick best so far. It is quite pigmented so a little goes a long way. It actually does a good job with the dark circles, making me resemble a human without making it obvious that i'm wearing makeup. I haven't had any problem with it settling into fine lines. the colour choices are a bit limited but so far this is one of the best under eye concealers out there. I have also used maquicomplet by lancome which is also very good but I find this lasts longer than the lancome one.

Re: Is the Federation a True Democracy? And How Did It Reach That Poin
1. I apologize for misstating them. But prohibitions and limits are different things, are they not?
2. You seem to know more than myself, so I guessed you might have other examples.
3. Factually incorrect. The recent PPACA case in the supreme court actually establishes that there ARE limits on Commerce Clause power, and the Necessary and Proper Clause do NOT, in FACT, give virtually unlimited power. Section 5000A of the PPACA only survived being struck down due to the fact that it could be interpreted as a tax. IMHO, THAT was wrongly decided, as a Direct Tax is ALSO unconstitutional. Medicaid expansion was also deemed unconstitutional due to it's coercive status.
Bad collective legal interpretation does not a constitutional text or design make.
RE: Trampled rights.
It is not explicit, but implicit, that there should be a balance in some fashion. Electoral College serves that function.

Aren't you by chance using a Pentax 67?
Suggest a back-to-basics metering strategy:
Spot meter face (1: in this image the face is a critical fail as it is improperly illuminated), left arm (illumination side) (2) right arm (3), front of dress (4) forward bottom left grass (5), then average all. No spotting of spectrals in background or bright grass.
A flash should not be needed but can be usefully employed with spot metering and baseline-averaged fill-in flash with the softbox you spoke of.

David McIntosh / Nikki Kahn / 2002 Star file photo
- Filed Under
David McIntosh
Born: June 8, 1958 in Oakton, Calif.; grew up in Kendallville, Ind.
Party: Republican
Political Experience: U.S. Congressman, Indiana 2nd District, 1994-2000; Republican Party nominee for Indiana governor, 2000.
Family: Married to Elizabeth Ruth "Ruthie" McManis; daughter Elizabeth "Ellie" Jenkins
Religion: Episcopalian; member of the Grace Episcopal Church, Muncie, Ind.
Career: Special assistant, U.S. Attorney General 1986-87; White House special assistant domestic affairs 1987-88; special assistant to Vice President Dan Quayle 1989-9; executive director, Council of Competitiveness 1989-92; senior fellow, Hudson Institute 1993-94
Education: East Noble High School; Yale University, BA 1980; University of Chicago Law School, JD 1983
After three terms in Congress, David McIntosh gave up his seat in 2000 to run for governor in Indiana. He won the GOP nomination, but lost the general election to incumbent FRANK O'BANNON.
McIntosh came to Congress in 1995 as part of the "Republican Revolution" in which the election of 73 new Republican members gave the GOP control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Like most of the other freshmen, McIntosh was loyal to the architect of the Revolution, Speaker Newt Gingrich, and he voted for each plank of the speaker's "Contract with America."
McIntosh was re-elected in 1996 and 1998, but in 2000 he decided to give up his seat and run for governor of Indiana, challenging Democrat incum O'Bannon.
In the GOP primary, McIntosh easily defeated attorney John Price. But, as predicted by the polls, he lost to Gov. Frank O'Bannon in November. McIntosh received 42 percent of the vote to O'Bannon's 56 percent.
The oldest of four children, David Martin McIntosh was born in California. He moved to Kendallville when his mother returned home after his father's death from cancer; his mother became a Democratic city judge.
His interest in politics began in 1976 when at 18 he saw Dan Quayle in his first campaign for Congress. With financial aid, student loans and a job at the Kendallville Foundry, he put himself through Yale University, where he graduated with honors in 1980.
He received a law degree in 1983 from the University of Chicago where his law school adviser was Antonin Scalia, who later became a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. McIntosh also was one of the founders of the conservative Federalist Society.
In Washington, a job with then-Attorney General Ed Meese grew into a move to the White House as President Reagan's domestic policy assistant at age 29.
After Reagan's second term ended, McIntosh became director of President George Bush's Council on Competitiveness, headed by Vice President Quayle.
When Bush lost to Bill Clinton in 1992, McIntosh came back to Indiana - though not for long. He began laying the groundwork for a return to Washington, as a congressman.
After 1992, he worked for the Hudson Institute in Indianapolis and lived in Muncie, with plans to run against Phil Sharp for Congress in the 2nd District. Sharp had held the seat for 20 years but decided to retire in 1994.
In the general election, McIntosh faced then Secretary of State Joe Hogsett winning 54 percent to 46 percent, and he won each subsequent election - until the gubernatorial election Nov. 7, 2000.
In 1993, McIntosh married Elizabeth Ruth "Ruthie" McManis whom he met when she worked for first lady Barbara Bush's Foundation for Family Literacy. The couple have a daughter, Elizabeth "Ellie" McIntosh, born in October 1997

"Living in Mogadishu" Mogadishu by indobabe5
Mogadishu Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 17 photos
Lived in Mogadishu from 10/1989 thru 07/1990.... job asssignment with a major US natural resources company (private sector). Tenure cut short by civil unrest in Mogadishu, and the iminent disintegration of the government of Mohd Siad Barre, as well as the onset of the first Gulf War. Home and offices were in Mogadishu, spent a significant amount of time up country in the Eyl & Garoowe areas. A beautiful land and people, albeit deprived by political and economic reality as well as long held clan based differences and power struggles.

Shooting Renews Security Questions Springfield Building without Metal Detectors, Armed Guards
Patterson, John, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: John Patterson Daily Herald State Government Editor
SPRINGFIELD - No metal detectors or armed guards greeted Byron and Nancy Krause when they walked up the state Capitol steps over the weekend.
And they weren't concerned.
Like dozens, if not hundreds, of daily tourists, visitors and state workers, a simple flash of a driver's license was enough to get the Naperville couple into the majestic domed building.
"I didn't really think about metal detectors. There was hardly anybody there. It didn't even cross my mind that there weren't any," Byron Krause said of their sight-seeing jaunt. "It was just very relaxed down there, as opposed to going to the Federal Reserve building in Chicago."
But Monday's fatal shooting of a security guard just steps inside the Capitol's north entrance is sure to renew discussion of tightening security at the building.
Before Sept. 11, 2001, there was no security at any of the public entrances to the Capitol. After the terrorist attack, some entrances were closed, state workers were issued new identification badges and visitors had to show a license or other official identification to security guards and usually sign in to gain access. Those guards are not armed.
For a while, armed guards were stationed at the entrances and visitors were subjected to metal-detection wands. But that practice lapsed. Only the Illinois Supreme Court across the street from the Capitol requires people go through metal detectors to enter.
Col. Larry Schmidt with the secretary of state's police said metal detectors likely would not have made a difference Monday.
"On this particular instance, unless they were outside on the steps or something - right now, we don't know 100 percent what happened here - but it appears they'd have just walked through the door, shot and left again," Schmidt said.
Stepped-up security is expected at the Capitol in the coming days, and Schmidt said all security options are being weighed.
"You will probably see metal detectors," Gov. …

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Lady Liberty took the worst of what Superstorm Sandy had to offer and the statue is still standing. But the superstorm did set back its big re-introduction to the huddled masses.
One month after Superstorm Sandy's wrath, Lady Liberty stands tall in New York Harbor, but the beacon of light is still littered with debris. Bricks ripped up from the ground, a boat washed up on shore at nearby Ellis Island, all the result of Sandy.
While the statue itself is intact, the grounds suffered enough damage to force the closure of the park to the public indefinitely. The National Park Service is now in the midst of a massive cleanup effort in hopes of reopening both parks sometime early next year.
One month after Sandy devastated the area, there is still plenty of work to do. One of the main dock to Liberty Island is now floating. Statue of Liberty superintendent Dave Luchsinger says, "Currently, our carrying capacity on the island is determined by how we can get people off and so, if we lose this dock we lose one boatload, which means I have to reduce the number of people who come to visit."
The effects of Sandy aren't just structural. Concession worker and ferry employees were laid off this week due to the extended closure of both islands.
Dave Luchsinger is the superintendent of the Statue of Liberty. He can't help but take his work home with him. He actually lives here. The offices next door, a stark reminder of Sandy's toll.
He says, "Because where on the corner there, we sustained so much more damage. To me, to have a job that you love, to have a job that you can come to and be so excited about everyday, it's an honor I couldn't begin to describe."
But the Statue of Liberty remains an icon of hope and promise of better days ahead. Luchsinger says, "As sad as it is to see it in the state it's in right now, I know it's going to be better."

Family meeting: John Andretti (from left), Michael Andretti and Marco Andretti talk about the track conditions Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
- Filed Under
If you change it, they will come. Or will they? John Andretti isn't so sure.
The NASCAR veteran and 10-time Indianapolis 500 starter isn't convinced that $20 million is enough to entice a significant number of NASCAR drivers to come to Indy even if the starting time is changed to accommodate them.
"There's still the big issue of priorities," said Andretti, who is driving this month for his cousin Michael's team. "And anybody who comes into somebody else's backyard to race is going to be a long shot." ...

Chris (Rob Lowe) and Ann (Rashida Jones) decide to take the plunge on 'Parks and Recreation.' / Danny Feld, NBC
Parks and Recreation | NBC, 8:30 ET/PT
CBS' comedy lineup â?? by far TV's most popular â?? is in reruns tonight, offering a good opportunity for CBS fans to check out the rival shows on NBC. Odds are most people won't; CBS' reruns often outdraw NBC's originals. But should you want to try at least one, Parks wouldn't be a bad place to start. You'll be jumping in as changes start to take place, with Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ben (Adam Scott) starting new jobs and Ann (Rashida Jones) and Chris (Rob Lowe) considering a big leap. In case you're wondering, they'll take it.
Under the Gunn | Lifetime, 9 ET/PT
You can see this new fashion competition show as a tailor-made showcase for Project Runway's Tim Gunn, who hosts, or you can see it as Lifetime's way to do a Project Runway knockoff without Heidi Klum. Either way, those who love fashion shows in general and Gunn in particular should enjoy it. In this corner, though, Gunn was more entertaining when he had an actual job in fashion and did TV as a sideline, back in the distant days before he succumbed to the seemingly irresistible lure of being a TV fixture.
The Brian Boitano Project | HGTV, 11 ET/PT
The Olympic gold medal winner goes to northern Italy to renovate the family's 200-year-old ancestral home. This being HGTV, you can't really be sure it is his home, or that the home you see is in Italy. But it is fairly certain that the star is, indeed, Boitano.

John Gill
New York
In my work I try to utilize simple techniques. This allows for freedom of ideas and process. Shape, form, use and color inform and question other possibilities. My work uses shape and form to inflate color. Working within the realm of function expands the potential. History of ceramics, painting and sculpture collide. Clay has a simple directness - it prints beautifully.
John Gill is a ceramic artist and educator. His work has been shown at the L.A.County Museum of Art; Grace Borgenicht Gallery, New York City; Harvey Meadows Gallery, Aspen; Kraushaar Gallery, New York City; Revolution, Detroit, Michigan; and Hadler Rodriquez Gallery in New York. Gill's work is held in the permanent collections of numerous art museums including the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Newark Museum, New Jersey and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
