[♪♪] We have roughly 750 edit seats deployed around the world. The real challenge is not to simply extend what we have within a facility; it's really extending it to the thousands of users around the world [Michael Koetter - Senior VP of Technology, Turner Broadcasting] that want to see all of CNN's content together. CNN is literally asking us for nothing less than to provide any media to any journalist anywhere in the world at a moment's notice for news production. It's all about speed, about time to air, and about telling the most accurate and timely news story that we can. Adobe Anywhere completely changes how we work with large amounts of video. [Mark Keller - CTO, Hogarth Worldwide] You can literally store everything in one place but edit it from anywhere you like. Anywhere allows us to view work in remote locations and then reopen that work in another location almost instantly. It will have a fantastic impact on creativity because it will allow us to see full resolution edits live as they are progressing anywhere in the world. It brings remote editing and collaboration without the need to change out and invest in huge amounts of new infrastructure. [Steve Sharman - CTO, Mediasmiths] All you need is a set of ordinary servers that you can just buy off the shelf and connect up to your existing storage. So wherever you've got the network point, you can actually start editing. The thing that has impressed us the most about using Adobe Anywhere for video is that you can't tell you're using it. It's seamlessly behind the scenes. So start Premiere, connect to your Anywhere server, and you're away. You're just editing. Adobe Anywhere means that from acquisition to editing it's accessible wherever you are. [Harry Grinling - CEO and Founder, Support Partners] It gives me the full resolution image so I'm able to see the full focus of the picture, all the color space, and I can make constructive editorial decisions based on that. Having Adobe Anywhere for video is a very exciting new technology [Prof. Brian Longhurst - Dean of College of Arts & Social Sciences, Univ. of Salford] that facilitates collaboration and remote working. We think it offers the opportunity for us to collaborate with other universities. So we can have students working across the world on projects in a way that we haven't seen before. Holland is a small country, but talent is everywhere. You have a commercial to work on, and you want to work with a grader in London [Francois Hobma - Product Manager, United] and a "fig" guy in Berlin who do wild thing with graphics, and the story has to be told in Holland. So all 3 can work on the material at the same time. Rather than having to move the talent around the world to attend the edits, we can move the edit to where the talent is. [Koetter] Anywhere is technology that will in the future dramatically scale beyond the number of editors we would have been able to support on the system otherwise and to scale into other locations for production and no longer be bound to the actual editor storage connection that we had before. [Sharman] Imagine that deployed out in the cloud. We could start to imagine having entertainment companies which don't have any premises, just have groups of people working together. It sounds like a dream. But it's there. [♪♪] [Adobe]

He'd been hunting in the forest's depths for months, but he'd never known such silence. No monkeys shook the leaves over-head, no birds cried, no insects droned. The only sounds seemed to come from within: the pulse throbbing in his temples and his own labored breathing.
The previous day the young man had hiked what he guessed was about eighteen miles before collapsing into sleep. But those trails hadn't been nearly as challenging as this one—a muddy ribbon twisting up the forested mountainside, inset with loose boulders of granite and quartz. He was in good shape and just twenty-five years old, but each step took its toll. He fell behind his companions, whose bare feet gripped the slippery rocks better than did his leather boot soles. His blue cotton shirt and brown pants were streaked with mud.
Somewhere along the way—it was hard to tell exactly where it began—the gentlest of whispers broke through the enveloping hush. The higher he climbed, the louder it got: a breathy hiss that grew into a roar. Twisting through the overgrown vegetation, he found the other men standing on a broad, flat shelf of land. A scene like none he'd ever witnessed burst open in front of him: a vast pool of swirling water, fed by a majestic torrent that spilled down the angled slope for what looked like a mile. A mist rose from the tumult, obscuring everything in a gauzy veil: the swaying ferns, the logs slanting across the water, the trees ringing the banks. According to his calculations, they were about five thousand feet above sea level.
He paused to drink from the pool, but his rest was brief. A short distance uphill, one of his companions spotted footprints that didn't belong to their own party. The feet that had impressed those marks into the mud were bare—but oddly round, with a big toe that seemed to jut away from the other four toes at a severe angle.
When he saw the prints for himself, the hunter felt his heart slam against his rib cage: this was the target he'd traveled so far to pursue, and it finally seemed within his reach.
Following the tracks, the men stumbled into what appeared to be an abandoned tribal village. Years earlier, the land had been cleared for huts that had since collapsed. Stray stalks of sugarcane pushed through the ruins. As the hunter broke off a stalk and sucked the grassy sweetness from its marrow, another of the men observed that some of the plants had recently been ravaged—violently torn up by the roots and mangled into pulp.
They looked at one another and grabbed the rifles they wore strapped across their backs.
More tracks led down a hill. The men carefully crossed a stream on a fallen log, and on the other side of the water they encountered a cluster of enormous granite boulders, some as big as small buildings. The tracks here were even fresher, filled with muddy water that hadn't had time to settle.
The hunter circled to the right of the boulders, while a few of his companions walked to the left. He emerged from the granite blockade just in time to catch an obstructed view of four dark creatures fleeing rapidly into the dense cover of forest.
The figures disappeared as quickly as they had exploded into view. Running with their heads down and bodies bent forward, the woolly creatures appeared to him, he later noted, "like men running for their lives."
Just minutes before, he might have sworn that the mountain torrent had been the most awe-inspiring sight he'd witnessed in his young life. But this blurred vision of bodies in motion—gone in the blink of an eye—blew it away.
Chapter 1: Destiny
Gabon, West Africa
(Ten years earlier)
Late in 1846, near the end of the rainy season, a group of men reached the Atlantic coast of Africa after weeks of slogging through the waterlogged interior. They had followed no maps, because none existed for that broad swath of equatorial forest. As far as the outside world was concerned, they had emerged from terra incognita—a pure white void in the atlas of the world.
But these men had been exploring the territory all their lives. They were native African traders, and they regularly made long treks from their inland villages toward the largest coastal settlement in Gabon, drawn to the European merchant ships that occasionally dropped anchor to strike deals. On this day, in addition to shouldering the customary bundles of ebony and ivory, the traders carried something extraordinary: a scavenged totem of beguiling rarity.
The American missionary who lived on the bluff wouldn't be able to resist its pull.
His name was John Leighton Wilson, a man of towering stature whose quick smile often got lost inside his fleecy white beard. He had come from South Carolina to the coast of equatorial Africa years before to save the souls of men, but a large part of his own soul had been captured by the wonders that surrounded him. He could spend hours marveling over the elaborate nests of driver ants, or measuring pythons, or trying to tame a porcupine scrabbling near the door of his hut. For all his preaching to the locals about the evils of black magic, false idols, and tribal superstitions, he'd always been vulnerable to the charms of the exotic. And when he spotted the tribesmen's strange curio, he fell under its spell, offering to buy it on the spot.
It was a skull.
At first glance, that calcified mask seemed the product of a peculiarly demented artistry, a grotesquerie of sharp angles and shadowy apertures. When Wilson took it in his hand, it sat heavily, with none of the driftwood airiness of old sun-blanched bones. Its diameter easily exceeded that of a human skull, but there was a passing resemblance, and that's what gave the skull its power to unnerve.
The jaw alone was colossal, framing a mouthful of teeth that seemed to bare themselves in a sinister smile. A quick count revealed thirty-two teeth, the same number as humans, but four of them boldly hijacked Wilson's attention: the twinned sets of upper and lower canines, the largest more than two inches long, curving like scimitars. Those fangs appeared worn, but from what he could only imagine.
From the mouth, the facial bones that stretched up toward the eyes sloped back at nearly a forty-five-degree angle, interrupted along the way by a gaping round nasal cavity. From under a menacing ridge of brow, two dark holes stared out where eyes were once socketed. The cranial dome itself was oddly flat, too small in comparison with the rest of the head, as if betraying a brute ignorance that only intensified the promise of danger. The fact that no flesh remained on the skull to provide a more complete picture of the unknown creature's appearance made it no less intimidating: the absence of detail somehow accentuated its eccentricity, in the same way that the most vivid nightmares need darkness to make themselves seen.
The natives called it a njena.
Wilson, who for years had been compiling the first-ever diction-ary of the local dialect, was unable to translate the term. Whatever the creature was, no words existed for it in English, or in any other language.
Wilson believed in destiny. Everything and everyone had a place in this world—every grain of sand, the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, all that creepeth. No matter how pathetic, desolate, abominable, or forlorn something might have seemed at first, its mere existence meant that it was an indispensable part of a divine plan. And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.
His faith kept him rooted in West Africa, a place that most of the plantation owners he'd grown up with in South Carolina would have dismissed as an uninhabitable wasteland. In 1842, after a decade in Liberia, Wilson had established the first permanent Christian mission in Gabon. Other churches had staked claims all over Africa, but Gabon—straddling the equator, hanging on to the continent's western edge—remained virtually untouched. European ships had been sailing past the coast for centuries, but the punishing ocean swells and rip currents near the shoreline scared most of them away. The few that risked disembarking never ventured far inland, because the terrain threw all manner of obstacles in front of would-be explorers. Beyond the narrow coastal plain, the land rose into green hills and then into rugged mountain peaks. The clouds that veiled the highlands dumped more than a hundred inches of rain on the lowland forests. The rivers were choked with mangroves. The mosquitoes were murder. The inland tribes were rumored connoisseurs of human flesh.
Wilson loved it. He built a six-room bamboo house on an airy bluff overlooking the estuary of the Gabon River. The place was called Baraka, a derivative of barracoon, the local word for "slave compound," which is exactly what it had been until recently. Wilson hoped to cleanse the ground of its tainted history by doing the work of God. He believed he was fated to live in that very spot.
His wife, Jane, soon joined him. Together they established a Protestant school for the children of the Mpongwe, the ethnic group that populated the loose string of villages on the coast. He thrust himself into their language and their customs. He liked the natives, respecting their "pliancy of character" and what seemed to him a natural quickness of mind. According to Wilson's reading of the Bible, these people were the "descendants of Ham," a son of Noah, and they took a curse with them as they settled in northern Africa after the Great Flood. Whether or not they were cursed, he believed that their continued presence in that harsh landscape proved they were destined to fulfill an important role in history. Wilson tried to get a handle on his thoughts by grabbing a pen and paper:
That this people should have been preserved for so long a period in constantly increasing numbers, and that in the face of the most adverse influences, while other races, who were placed in circumstances much more favorable for the perpetuation of their
nationality, have passed away from the earth or dwindled down to
a mere handful, is one of the mysterious providences that admit of no rational explanation, unless it be that they have been preserved for some important future destiny.
Ever on the lookout for providence, Wilson one day in 1848 spot- ted a small group of Mpongwe tribesmen approaching his hut. They were accompanied by a diminutive figure. He was a young man, a teenager. He looked like a waif who'd washed up on a mud bank somewhere upriver, which, according to the story the boy would tell, wasn't too far from the truth. He had dumped his canoe, he said, and had staggered along the banks for four days before reaching Baraka. He was weak, hungry, and utterly pathetic, a shipwrecked soul in need of safe harbor.
His name was Paul Du Chaillu, and Wilson welcomed him with open arms. The missionary believed that the boy, like everyone else, had been born with a divine purpose. It was Wilson's duty to help him discover it.
No one could have recognized it at the time, but when the seventeen-year-old crossed the threshold of that bamboo mission house, he was taking his first step into a new life, abandoning his old one like the canoe he said he'd let drift down current. Inside the house, Paul first heard about the monstrous skull that Wilson had acquired a little more than a year before. And in that moment, two destinies— the boy's and the beast's—collided and forever changed course.
Paul said he was French, which made perfect sense. Gabon had been claimed as a colony by France just a few years before, a messy process that Wilson and Jane had experienced firsthand.
The captain of a French merchant vessel wandered ashore one day in 1842, a brandy bottle in hand. He summoned King Glass, the local Mpongwe ruler whom the captain had previously met on a trading stop. After the two men drained the jug of brandy, the merchant unfurled a piece of paper and asked the king to sign it.
When the liquor wore off, the king told Wilson that he'd under- stood the paper was a simple commercial treaty to ensure that trade relations between France and King Glass's monarchy were secure. But the very next day, a French warship fired a salute over Glass's town, and a naval commander triumphantly emerged ashore to inform every- one that they were now officially French subjects. He had a signed agreement to prove it. The commander told them they shouldn't hesitate to call upon the assistance of the French navy if any outsiders, particularly British outsiders, attempted to claim their land.
Wilson was away from the house when the commander arrived, but Jane spoke up.
"It is doubtful whether the territory was really ceded," she told the commander, "and the mission does not desire or need French protection."
Her protest, mild but brave, was ignored. The deal had already been done. What's more, it had been replicated up and down the coast. In addition to obtaining the signature of King Glass, the French merchants had already collected signed treaties from his neighboring rulers. It was official: the French navy had been granted legal permission to construct military or commercial outposts wherever it pleased in Gabon.
From the start, France's interest was halfhearted, part of an official "foothold policy" designed to put the brakes on the rapid colonial expansion of England, its longtime rival. Early hopes of turning the coastal plain into a profitable agricultural center quickly fizzled, and construction of a coastal fort was abandoned. The half-completed structure was left to rot in the scouring sea spray as a monument to the country's apathy toward its latest acquisition.
By 1848, the most visible sign of French presence in Gabon was a trading station—the Maison Lamoisse of Le Havre. Paul told Wilson that he had recently arrived in the country from Paris, which was in the throes of a violent revolution, to join his father, who'd moved to Gabon a few years earlier to manage the trading post.
Wilson realized that he in fact had met Paul's father, who had told him about his son a couple of months earlier. The trader, named Charles-Alexis Du Chaillu, had tried to get his son enrolled in a French Catholic mission school nearby, but the Jesuits had refused him entry. The elder Du Chaillu then asked if the Baraka mission might take the boy on, but Wilson couldn't give him an immediate answer. So Paul spent his first months on the coast making short trade runs for his father, traveling upriver to collect goods from tribes that lived several miles inland. He'd been fetching a load of ebony and ivory when his canoe had overturned, he said, forcing him to trek back to Wilson's house.
After their initial meeting, Wilson agreed to take Paul into the school and teach him English, a skill that Charles-Alexis recognized as valuable for an up-and-coming merchant.
Paul leaped at the chance, trading a life that centered on his father's household for one that revolved around the mission. He became a permanent fixture at the Wilsons' house, moving into one of the boxy rooms that adjoined the "parlor," which the couple had ennobled with an old Windsor chair and some gilt-framed pictures. It was as if Paul had traded his real father for a new one, nabbing a mother as a bonus in the bargain.
Jane Wilson liked the boy as much as her husband did, and she welcomed his cheerful, almost elfin, presence in their home. He exuded energy and optimism and was always quick to dish out compliments—which must have delighted Jane, who proudly clung to a southern belle's sense of style and etiquette. Every day, after she fin- ished tutoring the natives and Paul in their makeshift mission school, she busied herself with the same "delicate little attentions" that she'd observed growing up in Savannah, Georgia: she washed and fixed her hair, putting it up in the style that her husband liked best, and donned a freshly laundered calico dress. For years, she felt as if her husband had been the only person in Gabon to admire her efforts; she never expected the villagers with their square-cut robes to fully appreciate the refinements of a proper Christian lady. But now the unfailingly polite boy was like the doting son she and her husband had never had. Like everyone else, they called him by his first name—a familiarity that Paul would encourage his whole life, among all classes of people, in defiance of the formality of the age.
It wasn't long before he made his feelings about the Wilsons crystal clear: he stopped addressing them as the Reverend and Mrs. Wilson, and he started calling them "Father" and "Mother."
In the boy's eyes, Wilson was a miracle: a white man who commanded universal respect among the coastal tribes without resorting to force or coercion, a stately presence who not only tolerated his equatorial surroundings but actually regarded them with a kind of devotional reverence. From the start, the boy looked up to Wilson, both literally and figuratively: Paul, standing just over five feet tall, was about a foot shorter than Wilson, whose paternal eminence had earned him a public stature on the Gabon River that rivaled King Glass's for authority.
It wasn't just a reasonable command of conversational English that Paul was picking up from his newly adopted parents. A mix of constant contact and dazzled admiration made him particularly receptive to Wilson's all-embracing immersion in the natural world around him.
Thanks to his trading jaunts, which took him farther inland than others dared, Paul in a few months had already acquired a working knowledge of the region's natural life that far exceeded that of most common traders. But Wilson probably knew more about the flora and fauna of western Africa than anyone alive.
For years, the missionary had been compiling notes for a book that he hoped would chronicle everything worth knowing about western Africa. He'd been the first person ever to study and develop written systems for several of the tribal languages spoken on the coast. He diligently transcribed the local lore, delved into the people's superstitions, and untangled their systems of tribal governance. He mapped the region's rivers and plains, faithfully recorded weather patterns, and attempted to classify nearly every plant and animal he stumbled across, no matter how insignificant it might have appeared. Wilson seemed to affix a literal interpretation to Proverbs 6:6: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise." Wilson's entomological observations bore the stamp of an obsessive. He delved into the ants' turreted mounds and dug down into their radiating burrows. He charted the times of day when white ants seemed most active (night), and he timed how fast a swarm of driver ants could consume a live horse or cow (forty-eight hours). He marveled at the way they built arched bridges from one plant to another using nothing but their own bodies and how they collectively formed "rafts" that allowed them to cross streams en masse. These weren't tedious data entries documented with the duty-bound dispassion of a stenographer; they were celebratory appreciations of the diversity of life.
His enthusiasm proved contagious. Paul—whether the tendency was latent in him or planted there by Wilson—blossomed into a keen- eyed chronicler of the inexhaustible wonders that God had created for man. He was particularly fond of the fantastical stories the missionary could tell about the region's more exotic fauna, like the boa constrictor that one day a few years earlier had grabbed one of the Mpongwe's pet dogs. The snake, about halfway through with the process of swallowing the dog whole, had coated the poor mutt's fur from the head down with slimy saliva before Wilson and a couple of tribesmen wrestled it away from the serpent.
"The dog experienced no injury," Wilson said, "but it was several weeks before the varnishing he had got could be removed."
Of all the stories Wilson told, however, none fascinated the boy more than the story of the njena. The creature was shrouded in obscurity, spoken of by the locals as if it were a mythical monster, not a real animal. The njena was a mystery just waiting to be solved.

Foxborough, MA (Sports Network) - New England Revolution defender Kevin Alston
was removed from the disabled list on Monday following treatment for leukemia.
Alston, 25, was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a rare but
treatable form of cancer three months ago. He began training with the club in
early June and is ready to go for the team's clash with the Colorado Rapids on
"We're very pleased for Kevin that his treatment has progressed and he's
returned to the field," Revolution general manager Michael Burns said in a
statement. "From the outset, Kevin was committed to getting back and has
maintained an incredibly positive attitude."
Alston started the Revs' first four games this season at left back before
learning of his diagnosis.
In his career, he has started all 116 games in which hes played since New
England drafted him 10th overall in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Indiana
University. He ranks 11th on the Revs' career charts in games played, and
eighth in games started.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- It's back to the practice range for the future of Augusta's Municipal Golf Course.
But the fight over the city's golf course might not be the only problem.
"Whether or not we move forward, whether we shut it down or go out for another bid," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
"I would not want the patch to close down," said Commissioner Mary Davis.
"I think the next option is you're just going to have to shut it down. It's demolition by neglect," said Mayor Deke Copenhaver.
The company who wanted to lease it changed its mind.
"I don't think the Patch is losing any more money than the aquatics center or tennis center," said Commissioner Bill Fennoy.
"I'm frustrated because certain members don't understand what good business practices are," said Commissioner Donnie Smith.
On the motion to approve a lease with Virginia Beach Management for the Patch, five white commissioners voted yes and four black commissioners voted no. Commissioner Williams abstained, which prevents the mayor from voting.
A motion to deny was made and commissioners still voted on racial lines.
"If you look at it realistically, you've got five Republicans and five Democrats," said Mayor Copenhaver.
It's estimated that fertilizing, seeding and maintaining the course will cost the city an extra $200,000. The city is already facing a huge deficit.
"We're looking at a $4 million deficit here in the city. There are certain commissioners who want to streamline our government," Smith said.
"We create and manufactured crisis when it's not necessary. I put it in the category of a want and not a need," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Will the Patch stay open, close or be sold? It's the question and it's going to take six votes to answer it.

Officials break ground on new Packard Foundation HQ
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 09 November 2010 09:06
- Written by Bruce Barton
Dignitaries and executives broke ground Tuesday to signal the beginning of construction of the new environmentally friendly David and Lucile Packard Foundation headquarters at 343 Second St. in downtown Los Altos.
Click here for a few photos from the ceremony.
"This is the first step in taking this project up and running," said Susan Packard, David's daughter.
The Foundation plans to consolidate their two current Los Altos offices into a two-story, 45,553-square-foot platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified building.
Officials hope to achieve net-zero energy which will set new standards, said President and CEO Carol Larson.
"It will honor the spirit of giving, the spirit of philanthropy and of Los Altos," Larson said.
Construction is scheduled to begin immediately. Foundation officials are aiming for a summer 2012 opening day.

-- Valdosta, Ga. -- March 22, 2013 --
The Valdosta City Council has unanimously approved a project to fix the Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The project will replace air blowers and piping at the plant which will cost roughly three hundred and seventy thousand dollars. The plant is recovering from the recent floods that shut it down. Although the replacement is needed it's not the ultimate solution.
Jason Scarpate is the Assistant Valdosta Utilities Director. He said "moving the plant is top priority here. There's multiple reasons, the age of the plant, the deterioration of the plant and the fact that the plant is located in a flood plane. Those are primary reasons for having it relocated."
The relocation is scheduled to be done by august of 2015 and is expected to cost $20 million dollars.

UEFA Champions League commands a huge following in Tanzania, chiefly owing to its entertainment value and the quality of the teams involved.
This comes as no surprise as massive numbers of Tanzanians adore and enjoy soccer and faithfully keep track of all manner of national, regional, continental and international tournaments – even friendly encounters – right from kick-off.
The entertainment part of the game is definitely of crucial importance to spectators, radio listeners, television viewers, players, fans, officials and indeed even the larger public.
However, it would pay a lot more if people also used the chance of following developments in world soccer to learn a lesson or two on how to improve our own game.
Our soccer players, trainers, referees and other officials at all levels, including or particularly those featuring in the premiership, should see the need to take the trouble to learn from superstars – for now the likes of Didier Drogba, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – as well as outstanding coaches, referees, etc.
Their deficiencies notwithstanding, UEFA and other world-class soccer leagues have a lot to offer in terms of preparations, team formations, playing patterns, behaviour on and off the pitch and generally observing the rules governing the game.
While it is only fair for fans to expect an enjoyable game, using the opportunity to tap the positive aspects of the league with a view of polishing our own soccer ought to be encouraged.
Quality officiating leading to a minimal number of complaints during and after matches is surely something to aim for with one's head up.
It is therefore important for Tanzanian soccer referees to watch UEFA league and other world-class matches mainly so as see how to enhance their own competence.
As noted, spectators too have important lessons to learn, including disabusing themselves of mistaken beliefs. Some of these are that playing at home is necessarily an advantage, that presumed stars will sparkle even if they are off-form and that particular teams must win at all costs.
There are sharp contrasts between our Mainland premier league and what we have been observing from UEFA Champions League matches.
Arguably our worst ever premiership season is drawing to a close, and many will remember it as having been characterised by a host of complaints from players, referees, officials, fans and even people with the least interest in soccer – or sports.
In truth, the UEFA Champions League merits serving as our benchmark if we are really serious about improving our soccer in terms of playing tactics, officiating, technical bench behaviour, spectator and player discipline, etc. It will take us time to equal Europe, but we can make it.
While the Tanzania Football Federation and the Football Referees Association of Tanzania have a direct role to play in this, they should not be the only ones to take action.
More of our media, particularly TV and radio stations, should be allowed room to lend a hand. Surely, relying on broadcasts by only a few of these won't do.
Broadcasts of UEFA and UEFA-type matches will continue coming our way; how we plan to gain from them is what matters most.

Bowery Blue and White
This lady was walking on Bowery when I stopped her for a photo. She told me that she doesn't usually look good in pictures, but I think she looks fantastic. I dig the contrast between her blue oversized dress and white stockings.

She has come a long way since her American Idol days, but Jennifer Hudson is still impressing us left and right. Most recently, the singer and actress dazzled on the red carpet in a vibrant chartreuse dress and red lips.
While celebrating her appearance on the cover of Good Housekeeping in New York, Hudson rocked an origami shift that hugged her recently-reduced curves just right. Her white patent leather peep-toe platforms completed her look gorgeously with a dainty mary-jane strap.
The starlet kept her hair simple - letting long waves fall across her shoulders with a few strands pinned back. The hairstyle was perfect to show off her bold makeup. Hudson grounded a metallic silver eyeshadow palette with black eyeliner, and kept her blush and bronzer natural. Her red lips stole the show, however. Using an orange-crush hue that is perfectly on-trend, the singer reminded us why we came to love her in the first place.
Choosing lipstick on the orangey side of the spectrum seems to be the choice of many stars this year, a trend that follows Pantone's announcement of the color of 2012: Tangerine Tango.

Log in
I want to call your attention, give a shout-out as it were, to some services and upcoming events.
Come visit soon – one of our locations or via our website.
The image of librarians is that we are more about words than numbers. I guess that's true but there are two "number" sections on our website I think you will find interesting.
We've just added library use statistics to our website. Circulation of books, music, movies, and digital products are tracked by location….central and each branch….along with program attendance and computer use. There are numbers and graphs.
The value calculator is not new to our website although it hasn't been highlighted recently. It is an interesting way to appreciate the value of the library services you use.
I'd welcome your comments on either of these.
I often use this space to promote one of our services or to highlight something on our website. This week I am doing both, namely our ebook collection available through our website.
A Pew Research Center survey issued in the fall found that the number of Americans age 16 and older who own a tablet computer has grown to 35% and those who have an ereader such as a Kindle or Nook has grown to 24%. Overall those with a tablet or an ereader device now stands at 43% and more than 50% in households earning $75,000 or more.
Ebooks are available to KPL cardholders through our website. Not every publisher makes their new ebooks available to libraries so not every bestseller you might want to read is on the site. Many are however and they can be checked out on your device for up to three weeks.
Ebooks are just one of our digital services. Audiobooks, music, movies, magazines are available also.
Visit soon…..digitally or at one of our five locations.
If you are a frequent patron of the movies and music collection located in the lower level of Central Library, you're likely aware of the changes we've made there over the past few weeks.
Audiobooks have moved from the lower level to the second floor rotunda. Music CDs have moved to the previous location of audiobooks and the CDs shelves will be taken down to open up that corner of the Audiovisual (AV) area.
Movies and music holds available for patron pick-up have been moved from the first floor to the lower level, across from the Audiovisual service desk. All movies and music must be checked out at kiosks on the lower level, not taken to the first floor circulation area. The checkout unit from the children's room has been moved to the lower level to have two units there to accommodate movie and music circulation. DVD Hot Picks have been dropped as a Central Library service and the Hot Picks titles will be added to the regular DVD collection; it continues as a branch service.
All of these changes, along with an increased security presence in the lower level, have been implemented in an effort to stop substantial increase in the theft of movies and music we have experienced over the past few months. I recognize some of these changes will be less convenient for some, but they were necessary to protect the community's investment in our materials.
It is important that we take all reasonable steps to protect the collection purchased with tax money. While we believe the majority of the theft has come from a small handful of people, it has caused significant loss to our very popular movie and music collections. We want those collections to be available for all to enjoy.
We will welcome your help in preventing theft from your library. If you see suspicious behavior, please inform the staff or security guard. Help us protect the Kalamazoo Public Library collection to be enjoyed by all patrons.
One of our goals for the first half of 2014 is to expand our digital services. We'll have an area on the third floor of the Central Library with equipment and software. We are currently meeting with others in the community who offer digital services to the public to learn what is available, what is needed BUT we want to hear from you.
What do you want from a digital lab? Please take our survey to help us plan and offer the services you'd use. I'll report here periodically on our progress, especially when we have a specific plan and a ballpark opening date.
Although it is not the beginning of a new year, back-to-school still seems like the beginning of a new year to me. With this "new year" we are making some changes at the circulation area of Central Library.
The Circulation Desk will transition to a Customer Service Desk. We'll handle library card registrations and account questions or problems at that desk. Staff will be at the checkout kiosk to help library users check out materials there.
There is a change at the checkout kiosks. We have eliminated locked cases for DVDs and CDs so the checkout process for those items is much easier….no more unlockers.
We hope this change will allow us to provide better customer service as we respond to the increase in circulation and the decrease in tax revenues.
I have often written here about the ebooks available through our website, but have seldom mentioned downloadable audiobooks. I check out many ebooks but few audiobooks, probably because I have a short drive to work, the time many listen to audiobooks.
Clearly reading is evolving. Today readers can continue the same story as they toggle between an ebook on their iPad or Kindle, a paperback at home, an eaudiobook in the car or on another mobile device….whatever format fits the setting and mood. And a new word…..this is considered the "transmedia" world.
We still maintain a large collection of the traditional audiobooks but in addition, downloadable eaudiobooks are available through our website. Many titles are available in ebook and eaudio format, some just in one or the other, depending upon the publisher.
Formats are evolving – VHS and cassettes are no longer – but for now, we have audiobooks in both physical and digital formats.
image: Rise
Our circulation of ebooks continues to grow but patrons often ask why we don't have a specific new, popular title or why more copies of a title aren't available. Unfortunately, the major publishers have been slow to make their ebook titles available to public libraries.
None of the six largest publishers sell or license ebooks to public libraries in the same way they do print editions. Three major publishers have pricing policies that make ebooks more expensive than print editions and others still refuse to make ebooks available to all libraries and are only now piloting programs that make them available to only select libraries.
The example of a recent bestseller makes the point: print edition cost to a public library: $15.51. Ebook cost on Amazon to an individual: $9.99. Ebook cost to a library from the publisher: $84.
The relationship between publishers and libraries is changing. Many small, independent publishers are willing to work with libraries; the major publishers have not yet adopted policies that address equitable access and fair pricing.
Oversight is needed to ensure that publishers do not inhibit access to ebooks in public libraries. The library community is urging policymakers to guarantee that all libraries and their constituents have unrestricted and equal access to ebooks at a fair and reasonable price.
I'm guessing when you visit our website, you go to one or two areas….perhaps the catalog, the calendar of events, maybe our databases. You know what you are looking for and you head there.
I want to call your attention to several new features or services available on our website with the hope you will explore them as well as your favorites.
New blogs are posted to our website several times each week, new materials being added to our collection are highlighted, new services are often featured in the rotating pictures. Visit often.
Do you consider the environmental impact when choosing a print or e-book format?
I admit, I've only thought very briefly about this question and it doesn't enter into my decision to read a book in print or digital format. My decision is based primarily on availability.
I recently came across a short article on this very topic. It gave me pause. The author considered the trees used to make paper, chlorine bleach to dye the paper, use of recycled paper, amount of ink, energy needed to produce the ink, lifespan of a typical e-reader, and carbon emissions from production and use of an e-reader.
Bottom line conclusion from the author: an e-reader is the more environmentally responsible choice for those who read more than 23 books per year.
Now that you know this, will it make a difference in the format you choose?

Inspiration: Sophistikat
Posted by Emily | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings
Have you met Sophistikat? It's one of my favorite new FLOR patterns and I love how it evokes ikat, a dyeing and weaving method similar to tie-dye or batik. Ikat may come and go as a decor and fashion trend but as far as I'm concerned, it's really a classic! Textiles such as these have been created in the Americas, Asia, and Europe for hundreds of years. (The word ikat is actually Indonesian and can mean "to tie" or "to bind.") In honor of this design, I thought I'd round up some other objects that are traditional, modern, beautiful, and fun…

Comments On Jun 12, 2015:Bought this thinking it would be a cheaper version of the zac speed pack. I should have spent the extra cash on a zac pack. It's a hydro pack with a chest plate and shoulder cups attached to it.this makes it difficult to put on and remove since it has shoulder straps too. Also the shoulder guards are too far back making them useless. The water bladder lasted about three rides before it sprung a leak. Disappointed!

Comments On Dec 20, 2014:I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing....
Too small to pack anything of use. Poor construction. Poor design. No shoulder or arm protection because the shoulder cups sit in the wrong place. Takes a long time to put on and take off. Agree with other reviewer that bladder is junk.
This thing is neither a good roost protector Nor a good pack.

Comments On Nov 18, 2014:The idea is great. I want a pack for all-day rides, with the protection of a chest protector. Wearing a pack on top of a full front-and-back chest protector/roost guard is too bulky and uncomfortable. So this seemed like the perfect solution. That is where the positives ended.
Pros: Overall idea Very comfortable (if absolutely nothing is in it) May be ok for short rides (if all you packed was water and some Skittles)
Cons: Too small to pack the essentials (water, food, essential tools, patch kit, CO2, small first aid kit, ... Skittles.
Bladder is just junk, to be replaced with CamelBak stuff. 70oz. is too small for a Summer 100 miler. Buttons on bladder compartment are weak and come open easily. When you put the full bladder in the pack it pretty much takes up all the available space. So, when you put the rest of your gear in, it becomes so rigid that it feels like you have a 2x4 under your shirt. It no longer conforms to the shape of your spine. Tool compartment material is thin and will wear out with tools bouncing about even slightly.
I am 6'2". Shoulder cups are too small and closer to your neck than your shoulders. Useless. Maybe I'm asking too much of this pack. I wanted it to work out. In the end, it is going back to the store with zero rides under its belt. Didn't even make it out of the garage. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Comments On Nov 06, 2014:Great protection and versatility with removable shoulder pieces or just wear the pack. The pack could be a little bigger. Comfortable fit. Great price. Offers good roast protection. I would recommend this product.

Comments On Aug 23, 2014:Nice to have a hydration pack and chest protector in one, fits well and is comfortable for all day rides. Only complaint is the pouch/pocket setup. wish it was better for keeping stuff secure....but not a deal breaker. Clips are a little funky at first but once you get used to them they work just fine. Overall its a great setup, would buy again.

In 1589, known as one of the most brutal executions ever to be recorded, Peter Stumpp, also known as the "Werewolf of Bedburg," was killed for publicly stating that he was a werewolf, with the power to transform whenever he pleased.
Peter Stumpp was born in the village of Epprath near Bedburg. He was a wealthy German farmer who had great influence in the surrounding area's politics. He had a son, a daughter, and an intimate relationship with one of his distant relatives known as Katharina Trump.
Sometime during the year of 1589, Peter Stumpp was accused of being a werewolf. After being stretched on the rack, he confessed to practicing black magic since the age of twelve. He claimed that the Devil gave him a magic girdle, which would allow him to transform into the likeness of a greedy, devouring wolf, strong and mighty, with eyes great and large, which in the night sparkled like fire, a mouth great and wide, with most sharp and cruel teeth, a huge body, and mighty paws. Stumpp claimed that removing the girdle would reverse the effects. (That sounds like the coolest of werewolf costumes!)
In addition, while being tortured, Stumpp admitted that he had been an insatiable bloodsucker for the last twenty-five years of his life. He would feast and gorge himself on the blood and flesh of goats, lambs, and sheep. He also admitted to killing and eating fourteen children, two pregnant women, and their fetuses.
But the accusations continue:
Not only was Stumpp accused of being a serial murderer and cannibal, but he was also accused of having an incestuous relationship with his daughter. (For her incestuous actions, Stumpp's daughter was sentenced to die with him.) Stumpp's relationship with his distant relative, Katharina Trump, did not help the whole incestuous thing, nor did Stumpp's admittance to having had sexual relations with a succubus that was offered to him by the Devil.
The execution:
On October 31st, 1589, Stumpp was put on the wheel. Using red-hot pincers, flesh was torn from his body in ten different places. To prevent his undead self from climbing out of the grave and returning to life, his limbs were broken using the blunt side of an axehead. He was then beheaded and burned on a pyre. Both his daughter and mistress were flayed, raped, and strangled, then burned along with Stumpp's body. As a warning to others, the local authorities erected a sign depicting a picture of a wolf and a wheel, with Stumpp's head mounted on top.

43 U.S. Code § 870 - Grants of land in aid of common or public schools; extension to those mineral in character; effect of leases
prev | next
Subject to the provisions of subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section, the several grants to the States of numbered sections in place for the support or in aid of common or public schools be, and they are, extended to embrace numbered school sections mineral in character, unless land has been granted to and/or selected by and certified or approved, to any such State or States as indemnity or in lieu of any land so granted by numbered sections.
(a) The grant of numbered mineral sections under this section shall be of the same effect as prior grants for the numbered nonmineral sections, and titles to such numbered mineral sections shall vest in the States at the time and in the manner and be subject to all the rights of adverse parties recognized by existing law in the grants of numbered nonmineral sections.
(b) The additional grant made by this section is upon the express condition that all sales, grants, deeds, or patents for any of the lands so granted shall hereafter be subject to and contain a reservation to the State of all the coal and other minerals in the lands so sold, granted, deeded, or patented, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the same. The coal and other mineral deposits in such lands not heretofore disposed of by the State shall be subject to lease by the State as the State legislature may direct, the proceeds and rentals and royalties therefrom to be utilized for the support or in aid of the common or public schools: Provided, That any lands or minerals hereafter disposed of contrary to the provisions of this section shall be forfeited to the United States by appropriate proceedings instituted by the Attorney General for that purpose in the United States district court for the district in which the property or some part thereof is located.
(c) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, any lands included within the limits of existing reservations of or by the United States, or specifically reserved for water-power purposes, or included in any pending suit or proceeding in the courts of the United States, or subject to or included in any valid application, claim, or right initiated or held under any of the existing laws of the United States, unless or until such reservation, application, claim, or right is extinguished, relinquished, or canceled, and all lands in the Territory of Alaska, are excluded from the provisions of this section.
(1) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this section, the fact that there is outstanding on any numbered school section, whether or not mineral in character, at the time of its survey a mineral lease or leases entered into by the United States, or an application therefor, shall not prevent the grant of such numbered school section to the State concerned as provided by this section and section 871 of this title.
(2) Any such numbered school section which has been surveyed prior to July 11, 1956, and which has not been granted to the State concerned solely by reason of the fact that there was outstanding on it at the time of the survey a mineral lease or leases entered into by the United States, or an application therefor, is hereby granted by the United States to such State under this section as if it had not been so leased; and the State shall succeed the position of the United States as lessor under such lease or leases.
(3) Any such numbered school section which is surveyed on or after July 11, 1956, and on which there is outstanding at the time of such survey a mineral lease or leases entered into by the United States, shall (unless excluded from the provisions of this section by subsection (c) of this section for a reason other than the existence of an outstanding lease) be granted to the State concerned immediately upon completion of such survey; and the State shall succeed to the position of the United States as lessor under such lease or leases.
(4) The Secretary of the Interior shall, upon application by a State, issue patents to the State for the lands granted by this section and section 871 of this title, in accordance with section 871a [1] of this title. Such patent shall, if the lease is then outstanding, include a statement that the State succeeded to the position of the United States as lessor at the time the title vested in the State.
(5) Where at the time rents, royalties, and bonuses accrue the lands or deposits covered by a single lease are owned in part by the State and in part by the United States, the rents, royalties, and bonuses shall be allocated between them in proportion to the acreage in said lease owned by each.

BOSTON — In photos of her as a younger woman, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva wears a low-cut blouse and has her hair teased like a 1980s rock star. After she arrived in the U.S. from Russia in 2002, she went to beauty school and did facials at a day spa.
But in recent years, people noticed a change. She began wearing a hijab and cited conspiracy theories about 9/11 being a plot against Muslims.
Now known as the angry and grieving mother of the Boston bombing suspects, Tsarnaeva is drawing increased attention after federal officials say Russian authorities intercepted her phone calls, including one in which she vaguely discussed jihad with her elder son. In another, she was recorded talking to someone in Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, U.S. officials said.
Tsarnaeva insists there is no mystery. She's no terrorist, just someone who found a deeper spirituality. She insists her sons — Tamerlan, who was killed in a gunfight with police, and Dzhokhar, who was wounded and captured — are innocent.
"It's all lies and hypocrisy," she said in Dagestan. "I'm sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children. People know me as a regular person, and I've never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism."
Amid the scrutiny, Tsarnaeva and her ex-husband, Anzor Tsarnaev, say they have put off the idea of any trip to the U.S. to reclaim their elder son's body or try to visit Dzhokhar in jail. Tsarnaev told the AP on Sunday he was too ill to travel to the U.S. Tsarnaeva faces a 2012 shoplifting charge in a Boston suburb, though it was unclear whether that was a deterrent.
Tsarnaeva arrived in the U.S. in 2002, settling in a working-class section of Cambridge, Mass. With four children, Anzor and Zubeidat qualified for food stamps and were on and off public assistance benefits for years.
Zubeidat took classes at the Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics before becoming a state-licensed aesthetician. Anzor, who had studied law, fixed cars. By some accounts, the family was tolerant.
Bethany Smith, a New Yorker who befriended Zubeidat's two daughters, said in an interview with Newsday that when she stayed with the family for a month in 2008 while she looked at colleges, she was welcomed even though she was Christian.
"I had nothing but love over there. They accepted me for who I was," Smith told the newspaper. "Their mother, Zubeidat, she considered me to be a part of the family."
Zubeidat said she and Tamerlan began to turn more deeply into their Muslim faith about five years ago after being influenced by a family friend, named "Misha."
"I wasn't praying until he prayed in our house, so I just got really ashamed that I am not praying, being a Muslim, being born Muslim. I am not praying," she said.
By then, she had left her job at the day spa and was giving facials in her apartment. One client, Alyssa Kilzer, noticed the change when Tsarnaeva put on a head scarf.
"She had never worn a hijab while working at the spa previously, or inside the house, and I was really surprised," Kilzer wrote in a post on her blog. "She started to refuse to see boys that had gone through puberty, as she had consulted a religious figure and he had told her it was sacrilegious. She was often fasting."
It is unclear whether religious differences fueled tension in their family. Anzor and Zubeidat divorced in 2011.

Cooking with Wine: Some Favorite Recipes
As I promised in today's Seasonal Pantry, which you can read here, I'm posting links to some of my favorite recipes that call for wine. Because I use it so frequently, it is impossible to include all the recipes here. I've chosen those most suited to fall and winter and have also selected examples that defy the common wisdom of white wine with fish, chicken and vegetables and red wine with red meats.
