- The Print
- The Artist
Swiss painter and graphic artist Paul Klee (1879 – 1940) was one of the most imaginative modern art masters, producing work that spanned an astounding stylistic range. Klee's small, delicate works are filled with wit and references to dreams, music and poetry, and blended primitive art, Surrealism, Cubism and children's art. Initially creating surreal, satirical pen-and-ink drawings, Klee's life and art were forever altered when he visited Tunisia and was overwhelmed by its intense light and color. Klee also uses a complex array of signs and symbols drawn from the unconscious, that were meant to fuse abstraction with reality. Klee's work impacted all 20th century Surrealist and Nonobjective artists, and the budding abstract expressionist movement.

Get Involved: Membership & Volunteering
featuring Bruno Heinen, Kristian Borring
part of Vortex Summer School
Led by critically acclaimed pianist Bruno Heinen, and guitarist Kristian Borring, this course is aimed at musicians who would like to learn more about how to improvise in a variety of styles including jazz, blues, soul and swing. We will be writing some compositions as a group, and performing them at the end of the week on the Vortex Jazz Club stage. No prior knowledge of jazz or improvisation is necessary, and all instruments are welcome!
10.30am – 3.30pm daily. Social until 6pm – an opportunity to jam, socialise & practise what you've learned. Performance on Friday 6.30pm
Bruno Heinen
Bruno Heinen is a London based contemporary pianist, composer, bandleader and educator. Bruno has released two albums on the forward looking Babel Label ('Twinkle Twinkle' and 'Tierkries') and is in the process of recording his third ('Postcard to Bill Evans' feat Kristian Borring). He has performed in venues and festivals including the South Bank Centre, Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, the Shanghai World Music Festival, the London Jazz Festival and the Rest Is Noise Festival – South Bank. Now teaching at the Centre for Young Musicians, Bruno has led many bands and taught students of all ages for many years. He also teaches Jazz harmony to the classical piano students at the Guildhall every year as well as leading small bands made up of Jazz Undergraduates.
"Erudition, eclectic studies and a jazz sensibility make Heinen the kind of newcomer who repositions the goalposts." **** John Fordham – Guardian
Kristian Borring
Since arriving to London in 2005, Kristian has been working with many exciting musicians as well as focusing on developing his voice as composer and leader of his own projects. His debut album, Nausicaa, released on Milanese based label, Ultra Sound Records, received wide spread national acclaim with numerous great reviews. The album was described by John Fordham (The Guardian) as a "hyper-cool and low-key approach to jazz guitar, but reprises it with warmth, confidence and a rhythmic hipness that's thoroughly contemporary". Kristian is a dedicated teacher and educator with many years of teaching experience over a wide variety of ages and abilities.

Extreme Cyclocross: The Longest Run-up
My friend Tobin Copley will be attempting something a little crazy tomorrow… and doing it for a good cause. Tobin posted an eloquent description on Facebook so I am reposting it here, with his permission:
Have you ever wondered about that 80 metre limit the UCI imposes on cyclocross run-ups? What would it be like to have a really long run-up–I mean a reeeaaallllly long run-up?
I'm going to need your help with something, though. More on that later, but park that thought for now.
I have a monumentally stupid idea. It's not the first time, and it's not going to be the last time. Remember how for the last two years I've ridden from Kelowna to Vancouver over the Coquihalla in a day, in order to raise money for cancer research? Well, I'm going to do that again, next year. But on Wednesday September 22nd, I'm going to ride from my house to the base of Grouse Mountain, then shoulder my bike and run the Grouse Grind. You heard that right. That's a 2900 metre run-up with 853 meters of elevation gain. And I'm going to run it for time, using my Grind Timer chip. Then I'm going to ride down the back of the mountain via the back-side access road–over a thousand metres of steady braking on steep, rocky, wash-boarded gravel road. Then I'll ride back home, shower, and go to work.
Does that sound hard? Yeah. It is. I'm going to struggle. But you know what's a bigger struggle? The recent cancer diagnosis Rachel, the sister of one of my good friends got. The fact that she can't even get up out of her own bed to help her son get dressed in the morning to go off to his grade one class. Or walk home with him after school. What's crazier, and what is just so much harder than my stupid idea, is that everyone has a story to tell about someone they love being affected by cancer. I want to honour Rachel. I want to honour all the people fighting this terrible disease. 100% of the money I raise from doing this will go to fund research activities sponsored by the Canadian Cancer Society. No overhead deductions. No event costs. Every penny donated will go to cancer research.
I'm going to have a gang of co-conspirators accompany me with video cameras to record my misery every pedal stroke and step and skinned knee along the way. Hey: Why keep such fun to myself?
I'm going to spend a morning in struggle to raise money so Rachel's struggle will be eased, and that of all people battling cancer. And of all people yet to be diagnosed. Support me in this–the money raised will go to cancer research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society. In so doing, you're supporting Rachel, and everyone else who is fighting for their lives right now.
So: how can you help? Three ways:
1) Donate a bit of money to support me doing this, so that the Canadian Cancer Society can fund innovative cancer researchers. Go here to do that: http://cancerevents.kintera.org/tobincopley
2) Spread the word about this nuttiness. Share this note on Facebook. Put links to it on your own Facebook page. Talk it up with friends. I'm doing this next week since the weather is changing and winter is coming. There's not a lot of time to pull the attempt off, or to do fundraising. So I could really REALLY use your help. All of you.
3) Watch the video once it's done. Laugh at me. Share the video. 'Cause you can bet I'll be slipping a fundraising pitch in there somewhere. And cancer affecting Rachel so that she's not able to dress her young kid or walk him to school really pisses me off. I'm mad. And I'm doing something about it. I might not be an oncologist, but I can ride a bike, so that's something I can do for her. F*ck you, cancer!
I'll post a link to the Tobin's video here once it is ready. In the meantime, you can support Tobin by visiting http://cancerevents.kintera.org/tobincopley. Good luck, Tobin.

Taurus Bulba is a villain from Darkwing Duck. He is first introduced as a criminal mastermind serving a 99 year sentence. Even though Taurus Bulba only appears in 3 episodes, Darkwing Duck regards him as one of his deadliest enemies. He is the main antagonist in the hour-long pilot episode Darkly Dawns the Duck.
Not much is know about Taurus Bulba's background. In Darkly Dawns the Duck, Taurus is shown serving a 99 year jail sentence yet still involved in criminal affairs from the prison. In fact, he seems to find being incarcarated to only be a minor inconvenience, seeing his prison cell as the perfect hideout and cover for his activities.
After his henchmen stole the Waddlemeyer Ram Rod (an experimental weapon that seems to envelop its targets in an anti-gravity field, destroying buildings and the most heavily-guarded banks) Bulba escaped and gave orders to kidnap Gosalyn because he believed, as she was Professor Waddlemeyer's only living relative, that she knew the secret code to active the Ramrod. At the end of Darkly Dawns the Duck, Bulba forced Darkwing to give him the arming code by threatening to drop Gosalyn to her death. ("She'll make a rather nasty stain on the pavement.") Darwkwing fought Bulba and ended up destroying the Ram Rod, as well Canard Tower. Though heavily injured, Darkwing survived, but Taurus was presumed killed in the explosion. Thanks to the efforts of F.O.W.L, Bulba managed to survive and was made into a cyborg.
F.O.W.L. subsequently assumed that Bulba would accept their offer of employment following their restoration of him. Bulba...pointedly declined the offer and elected to attempt to gain revenge on Darkwing and Gosalyn. After being once again defeated by Darkwing and Gosalyn, he manages to flee, swearing that he would get his revenge.
In Boom! Studios current Darkwing Duck comic, Taurus Bulba returns in the first story arc, "The Duck Knight Returns", as the CEO and mastermind behind the mega-corporation Quackwerks, in an attempt to get revenge on Darkwing Duck and his companions, but more importantly, to give St. Canard a new kind of villain, as he considers the other villains unprofessional.
Bulba was last seen in the episode Steerminator where he was rebuilt into a cyborg by F.O.W.L.. F.O.W.L equipped him with an impressive arsenal of weapons throughout his body, including lasers mounted on his horns. F.O.W.L. had hopes that Bulba would replace Steelbeak as their chief agent but The Steerminator refused and destroyed F.O.W.L.'s headquarters leaving the entire organization in shambles, and its high command in terror of his rampage.
Apart from some comedic moments, Taurus Bulba is considered to be a dark and menacing character, and probably the most malicious villain ever to appear in the series. In Darkly Dawns the Duck it is strongly implied his henchmen murdered Gosalyn's grandfather , by claiming it was an "Accident", and his men and pet condor Tantalus also nearly kill Gosalyn as well.
Gosalyn is afraid of him.

- Mouth

Practice Recap | Post-Practice Interviews - Tedford
Players' Perspectives - Camp's First Weekend
BERKELEY - The second day of Cal's 2012 training camp started with a 7 a.m. PT wake up call for breakfast. An hour later all 106 Cal players and most of the coaches and staff members had begun taking their 2012 photos. Before lunch time came they had wrapped up the photo session, lifted weights, had the option to go to a voluntary Sunday morning chapel and gone through a special teams meeting.
That was only the first half of the day.
The team's offense and defense both met right after lunch, with one side of the ball getting taped for practice and going through treatment while the other side was meeting before making a switch.
Cal then went through a lengthy helmets workout at Witter Rugby Field that included three team sessions and another of 7-on-7. Among the many highlights of the practice were ...
A pair of would-be long touchdown passes from Zach Kline to Chris Harper, one each in a team session and a one-on-one matchup
A long hookup in the corner of the end zone from Zach Maynard to Maurice Harris, with the left-handed quarterback running to his right and finding his wide open cousin for the score
A long touchdown pass from Allan Bridgford to Richard Rodgers
A spectacular acrobatic catch by Nathan Phillip during 7-on-7 work
Big plays by the defense, including interceptions from Willie Fletcher, Josh Hill and Joel Willis, and a fumble recovery by Mustafa Jalil
Despite the string of highlights Tedford said that "day two was more of a typical day two."
"As you install more things, you make more mistakes," Tedford said. "But it's great tape to learn from, especially for the young guys. Offensively we were a little rusty today, but that's typical of how camp goes with installation of plays. There was still a lot of excitement in playing hard. That wasn't the issue."
There was also more excitement with the arrival of Penn State transfer junior linebacker Khairi Fortt.
"I think he got here at like 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, so we spent most of the day doing compliance, getting his uniform and getting him checked in," Tedford said. "I think he's excited to be here, excited to be here as anyone can who was on a plane until 3 o'clock in the morning."
Another thing Fortt did was talk to the media following the team's workout.
"I needed a change because I wasn't happy with my situation at Penn State," Fortt said when asked about his transfer to Cal. "It has nothing to do with the current coaches that are there right now, because they did a wonderful job in improving the program in the last seven months that they been there.'
He also talked about enjoying the culture in Berkeley.
"Everyone is free-spirited," he said about his new home. "It is very diverse. Everyone's happy and everybody's cool about life. It is a beautiful campus." After the workout - and media session for Tedford, Fortt and several others - the team's evening agenda included dinner, a team meeting, position meetings and finally a snack before most probably made a beeline to their beds.
"By the time we get back there at the end of the day, everybody's pretty tired," said 22-year-old senior fullback Eric Stevens, one of the elder statesmen on the team. "You look over the playbook with the younger guys, make sure they understand it and then get ready for sleep. I think I'm the first one to go to bed every night."
Long before going to bed during the team's morning photo shoot, CalBears.com had some interesting conversations with rookies and vets alike.
"I walked in and took the pictures, and just did what I was told," true freshman Maximo Espitia offered respectfully. "I got it over and was done with it. You've just kind of got to act like you know what you're doing."
One guy who knew exactly what he was doing was senior linebacker Robert Mullins, who endured his sixth photo day at Cal and obliged to have a little fun when asked about his veteran status.
"I've done this like five of six of them," Mullins said with a mischievous smile. "Each year, I try to switch it up. Some years I smile, some years no smile. Some years I'm shaven, some years unshaven. Some years with a haircut, some years without a haircut. I'm pretty versatile in looks."
"I age significantly throughout every year," Mullins added as he tried to keep a straight face. "You can see the age on my face each year."
He also added some advice about his photo day strategy.
"I'm a late bloomer," he said. "I like to get my sleep so I'm usually one of the last guys coming in here taking photos."
Senior defensive lineman Kendrick Payne offered his perspective.
"You get a lot of people standing and goofing around for something like this, and those are the times that you're going to remember the most," Payne said.
Payne also talked about his role as a leader in his final season with Bears.
"I've tried to lead by example," Payne said. "I'm in a position to be a leader right now being a senior. I know that a lot of the young guys are paying attention to the things that I do. I'm very conscientious of what I do, how I'm moving and what I say, because I want to have nothing but a positive influence on the younger guys."
Tickets for Cal's return to a renovated Memorial Stadium in 2012 are currently on sale by calling (800) GO BEARS (800-462-3277), online at californiamemorialstadium.com.

Eli Lilly and Company will acquire Hypnion, a privately held neuroscience drug discovery company focused on sleep disorders. "The acquisition of Hypnion provides Lilly with a broader and more substantive presence in the area of sleep disorder research," remarks Steven M. Paul, M.D., executive vp, science and technology for Lilly.
"Hypnion has leveraged its expertise in this area to develop both innovative technologies and molecules, including the promising insomnia compound HY10275."
HY10275 is a dual-acting H1/5HT2a compound that uses Hypnion's SCORE-2004™ technology. Earlier in 2007, Hypnion reported that the candidate met the primary and secondary endpoints in the initial Phase II trial at doses of 1 mg and 3 mg in adults with transient insomnia.
The companies expect the transaction to close near the end of the first quarter of 2007.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

I woke up this morning to a push notification on my iPhone from CNN that read 'Unthinkable Devastation'. Hurricane Sandy has caused at least 21 U.S. deaths, more than 7 million without electricity, over 15,000 flights canceled and has been noted as New York's worst storm ever shutting down Wallstreet and the subway system. Whenever there is tragedy from a natural disaster, we all want to do our best to give back and help how we can, and this I love. So how can you give back to the victims of Hurricane Sandy? Red Cross has released a public statement via spokesperson Christina Monserrate on how you can help! Plus read seven more ways you can get involved by giving blood, donating emergency supplies or volunteering. As always as you prepare to donate and give back make sure the organizations you are giving to are legitimate and that your money will go directly to the cause.
Over 3,200 people stayed in Red Cross shelters in nine states as Hurricane Sandy swept through the country. The group has sent 1,300 workers to the region along with 230,000 ready-to-eat meals.
"In the event that Sandy kicks into high gear and she brings less, more, or right about what's expected they [the Red Cross] are ready to deliver the supplies, food, clothing, comfort kits, and help with emotional needs," American Red Cross spokesman, Christina Monserrate said.
The American Red Cross has created a few options to help hurricane victims and donating is easier than ever. All you have to do is pick up your cell phone and text "REDCROSS" to 90999. You can also click here or call 1-(800)-RED-CROSS to donate.
"Monetary donations will go to food, shelter, emotional assistance, if you don't have the money but you have the time we are in a shortage of blood and platelets," Monserrate said.
According to Monserrate, over 100 blood drives have been shut down in the country because of the storm.
"We are always prepared for the worst and I know we are one Red Cross so in the event of a disaster there are no boundaries or borders to provide the needs for each other," Monserrate said.
Other Ways You Can Help:
Give Blood: The New York Blood Center is calling for donations to prevent any shortages after the storm hits. The organization is working with local hospitals to make sure they have an adequate supply. The center needs at least 2,000 donations a day to maintain its blood inventory.
Give food and shelter — The Red Cross and the Salvation Army are providing emergency shelter and meals for evacuees.
Help children in need — Save the Children and World Vision are paying special attention to the needs of children affected by the storm.
Care for animals — The Humane Society of the United States and the American Humane Association have teams working to save the lives of animals caught in the storm.
Provide emergency supplies — AmeriCares, Direct Relief International and Feeding America are providing food, medical supplies and emergency kits for people in need. The Feeding America network of food banks and agencies is prepared to deliver truckloads of food, water and supplies to communities in need. Its food banks will also set up additional emergency distribution sites, as needed. AmeriCares is preparing to deliver relief supplies like medicine, first aid kits, cleaning products and flashlights to susceptible communities along the East Coast. It has reached out to 100 health clinics, food banks and other agencies and also seeks aid workers ready to help.
Join in the cleanup — Team Rubicon has dispatched veteran field teams to start working right away, and Samaritan's Purse is looking for volunteers to help rebuild after the storm passes.
Help outside the U.S. — Hurricane Sandy took a deadly toll on the Caribbean before it hit the United States. Operation USA and the International Medical Corps are helping people affected by Sandy in Haiti and Cuba.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Who's Going to Pay for Paddy?Paddy went into St. Mary's hospital for major surgery. In the recovery room, the nurse came in and said, "So Pat, how will you be payin' for your surgery?"
"Sure and I don't know," said Pat.
"Do you have any insurance?" the nurse asked.

"No," said Pat.
"Do you have any money?" she asked.
"Not a penny," said Pat.
"Do you have any relatives who might be able to pay for this surgery?"
"Only me spinster sister in New Mexico; she's a nun."
"Nuns aren't spinsters Pat, they're married to God," the nurse said.
"Fine," replied Pat, "then sure and you'll be sending the bill to me Brother-in-Law."

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
The same few companies are always in the news. Every month we hear new revelations about SCO, Red Hat, Microsoft, and Novell. This month, however,
a new dancer stepped into the chorus line. The company of the month was definitely Dell. If you haven't been following recent events, you may be asking, "What does Dell have to do with Linux?" Actually, Dell has a lot to do with Linux now that they have agreed to sell computers pre-installed with Ubuntu 7.04. This announcement was met with great enthusiasm in open source circles. Hardware configuration is one of the most challenging issues facing Linux, and if a major supplier like Dell agrees to solve all the problems in advance, it can only be good news. Unfortunately, this wasn't the only Dell deal in the headlines. The honeymoon lasted only a few days, and, just as this magazine went to print, Dell announced that it was signing onto Microsoft's cross marketing deal with Novell. As you probably know by now, the Novell/Microsoft deal has been roundly denounced by the Linux community because it implies that Linux violates Microsoft patents and provides selective indemnification for these alleged violations as a sales perk that is totally contrary to the spirit of the GPL.

The Legend of Bigfoot
Many stories and legends have been told about Bigfoot but until recently there has been no evidence that proves beyond a shadow of doubt that such a creature exists. The Bigfoot is a human-like, hairy creature that is very tall and large and it is believed that it lives in some of the forests along the northwestern coast of North America. It is also called "Sasquatch", which is a Native American term for "hairy giant".
Bigfoot Sightings
The first reported sighting of the Bigfoot took place in Jasper, Canada in the year 1811. Following the incident, many people started creating hoaxes, running around in essentially elaborate costumes to fool the public into believing that Bigfoot was real, and the newspapers also published articles about the creature, referring to it as "Sasquatch". In 1924, a group of miners from the state of Washington reported that they were attacked by Bigfoot. They said that the creature threw stones at their cabins and left footprints around their camp.
"Proof" of Sightings
In 1958, Gerald Crew of Humboldt, California discovered gigantic footprints in Del Norte County, California and he believed that those footprints belonged to Bigfoot. Crew made plaster casts of the footprints to convince people that his story was true and he appeared in the Humboldt Times with one of his casts. His story was published in many newspapers around the country and this resulted in the coining of the name "Bigfoot". In 1967, a major breakthrough was made in the attempt to prove the existence of Bigfoot. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin revealed that they had captured Bigfoot on film. The footage showed Bigfoot turning his head towards the camera for a moment and then walking away. Many videos were released after Patterson and Gimlin's video, but it has been proven that all of them were hoaxes. Up to today, there is still no concrete proof that Bigfoot exists in this world.
Those who claimed that they saw Bigfoot described it as a dark brown haired creature that resembles an ape. It has very large eyes and a low, wide forehead. It is said that its height ranges from 6 to 10 feet and it weighs more than 500 pounds. Bigfoot is a nocturnal creature and it is omnivorous.
Besides the sightings mentioned above, several other sightings have been reported. In 1924, a man by the name of Albert Ostman said that he was captured by Bigfoot and he lived with its family for a period of time. He said that the creatures were docile and they were herbivorous. In 1941, Jeannie Chapman from Ruby Creek, Canada claimed that she saw a 7½-feet tall Bigfoot walking towards her home. She and her children ran away from their home immediately.
Bigfoot's Footprints
Hundreds of Bigfoot footprints have been found in the United States and Canada and some of them were photographed or made into plaster casts. The measurements of these footprints ranged from 14 inches to 24 inches long and 5 inches to 8 inches wide. While most of the footprints showed that the Bigfoot has five toes, there were some that showed only two or three toes. Some of the footprints also suggested that the Bigfoot has claws on its feet.
Recent Bigfoot Sighting Hoaxes
Bigfoot has been a hoax that just will not die out. The most recent talk of proof has come from the northern woods of Georgia. In 2008 two men claimed to have found the body of a deceased Bigfoot complete with DNA evidence. However when it was time for the pair to prove it to the world, they refused to show the body or any of the genetic tests they said they had. After the media storm died down the men confessed they used a fake gorilla costume and road kill intestines for the photos. This goes to show that the legend of Bigfoot has not died and believers are still waiting for that one piece of hard evidence to prove the world wrong.

Does your life ever seem a little hectic? Are you ever looking for a calendar app that offers you a little more than the built-in Calendar? If so then we have a roundup here of the top 5 iPad calendar apps. These are the best of the best! They all do basic calendar functions as well as offer you some additional features you will be glad to have.
The Top 5 iPad Calendar Apps
The iPad's default calendar app, iCal, is a great basic calendar but when you want some more advanced features then it's time to turn to an iPad calendar app. Fortunately, there are some really amazing developers out there making these apps do more and more which is a good thing for you and I since the more we use the iPad, the more we find it can do.
Calendar apps are perfect for students, business users, professionals, bloggers, and just about anyone else that wants to keep their busy life organized and on track. We look at 5 iPad calendar apps so you can get an idea of what they can and can't do.
By the way, a lot of these apps connect up with Google calendar. If you do not yet have a free Google calendar account you can check it out at http://www.google.com/calendar
CalenGoo ($6.99)
The first iPad calendar app we look at is CalenGoo. This is a calendar app that syncs directly with your Google calendar. It gives you a fast and easy way to access and modify your Google calendar – and it works whether you are online or not. Any changes you make while offline are automatically uploaded the next time you are connected.
All of your events are the same colors as your online calendar and it also recognizes which calendars are visible and which are hidden. The goal of this app is to have it match the view of your Google calendar as much as possible. One other really nice feature of CalenGoo is that you can invite people to events and see their status.
The newest version of this great calendar app includes an integrated task list, called Google Tasks. All tasks with a due date are displayed on the calendar for convenience.
There have been some complaints of slowness with this app but the developer seems to recognize that and is offering updates fairly regularly. This is a great app for those that want to use their iPad with Google calendars. It is very simple to use and it has just enough similarities to Google Calendar that you will be immediately able to start using it.
Pocket Informant HD ($6.99)
This iPad calendar app is much more than just a calendar. It is also a task manager. So you get two things in one! The main purpose of this app is to fuse together best-of-class calendaring with best-of-class tasks and make it one great solution.
Pocket Informant HD has been featured as a top app in the app store for several weeks and they continue to improve upon it. It takes all of the features you like about the iPad calendar and makes it even better. Graphically, it looks just like a pocket planner with tabs, colors, a great layout and the ability to turn pages by swiping.
You get a lot for $6.99. There are task templates, repeating tasks, location alarm handling, special daily views and some amazing calendar features.
So who is this app for? Well, it's for anyone that wants to have both a task manager and a calendar in one app. If you are just looking for a calendar app then this one may not be the best for you as it provides so much more. But if you think you might want to integrate tasks into your routine then it's perfect as it accomplishes two things very well.
SaiSuke for iPad ($9.99)
Here is a much different iPad calendar app in that it is actually schedule management software. SaiSuke has various view modes allowing you to see your calendars in a daily, weekly, or yearly view. There is also a great perspective monthly view which shows you all your appointments and events. All of the calendars are fully customizable as well.
But what makes this app different from the others? Synchronization. SaiSuke for iPad can sync with both Google Calendaring and Outlook. There are options to setup synchronization between iCal/Outlook and Google Calendar. Once you setup synchronization, all your calendar tasks and events will be shared with all your calendar types.
SaiSuke for iPad also has a great backup feature which helps save you from unexpected data loss. This is a feature not found in many other calendar apps.
While light on the calendar features compared to the other two, it does have some really nice sync features and if you are looking for a way to sync between multiple clients then this is the perfect app for you.
Calendars – Google Calendar Client ($6.99)
As you might guess, this is another iPad calendar app that syncs up with Google Calendar. It might seem like there are a lot of these but that's because there are a lot of people using Google's calendar app. It's convenient and very easy to use. Plus it is online and accessible from anywhere.
Calendars is an application that connects up to your Google Calendar and lets you easily mange your calendars online or offline. This app has a unique interface that allows you to move events with simple drag and drop. Also, you can navigate between days, weeks, and months just as you do in iCal.
Holiday Year Calendar ($3.99)
Here is a completely different iPad calendar app. Holiday Year is a simple-to-use, yet powerful yearly planner, complete with holidays, birthdays and other dates from your Contacts. You also get custom markup and formatting and notes. This is the perfect calendar app for keeping track of important dates, planning vacations, recording shift work, traveling overseas and more.
Holiday Year Calendar supports holidays from around the world and it also has great calendar navigation using all of the swipe and gestures you are used to with the iPad.
This iPad calendar app is packed with great features that allow you to fully customize your calendar. It does not sync with Google calendar or iCal but it is very user friendly and includes the ability to change almost every look and feel of the app.
This is not an iPad calendar app like the ones above which lean more toward task managers. This is a robust calendar that was made for those who want to keep track of simple to do's and who dont' need to sync with iCal or Google Calendar.
Out of all these, we like CalenGoo. It does exactly what it says and it has the nicest look to it. It is a true iPad calendar app without the need to put a lot of features in that do not belong or that won't get used. The developers have done a great job and it shows. Our second pick would have to be Pocket Informant HD. It's only second because it is really a task manager with a calendar.
What iPad calendar apps do you use? Or do you just use the iCal app?

Croatia serves as a gateway to eastern Europe. It lies along the east coast of the Adriatic Sea and shares a border with Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, and Slovenia. The republic swings around like a boomerang from the Pannonian Plains of Slavonia between the Sava, Drava, and Danube Rivers, across hilly, central Croatia to the Istrian Peninsula, then south through Dalmatia along the rugged Adriatic coast. Croatia is made up of 20 counties plus the city of Zagreb and controls 1,185 islands in the Adriatic Sea, 67 of which are inhabited.
The Croats are believed to be a Slavic people who migrated from Ukraine and settled in present-day Croatia during the 6th century. After a period of self-rule, Croatians agreed to the Pacta Conventa in 1091, submitting themselves to Hungarian authority. By the mid-1400s, concerns over Ottoman expansion led the Croatian Assembly to invite the Habsburgs, under Archduke Ferdinand, to assume control over Croatia. Habsburg rule proved successful in thwarting the Ottomans, and by the 18th century, much of Croatia was free of Turkish control.
In 1868, Croatia gained domestic autonomy while remaining under Hungarian authority. Following World War I and the demise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Croatia joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes became Yugoslavia in 1929). Yugoslavia changed its name once again after World War II. The new state became the Federal Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia and united Croatia and several other states together under the communistic leadership of Marshal Tito (born Josip Broz).
After the death of Tito and with the fall of communism throughout eastern Europe, the Yugoslav federation began to unravel. Croatia held its first multi-party elections since World War II in 1990. Long-time Croatian nationalist Franjo Tudjman was elected President, and one year later, Croatians declared independence from Yugoslavia. Conflict between Serbs and Croats in Croatia escalated, and one month after Croatia declared independence, war erupted.
The United Nations mediated a cease-fire in January 1992, but hostilities resumed the next year when Croatia fought to regain one-third of the territory lost the previous year. A second cease-fire was enacted in May 1993, followed by a joint declaration the next January between Croatia and Yugoslavia. However, in September 1993, the Croatian Army led an offensive against the Serb-held self-styled "Republic of Krajina." A third cease-fire was called in March 1994, but it, too, was broken in May and August 1995, after which Croatian forces regained large portions of the Krajina, prompting an exodus of Serbs from this area. In November 1995, Croatia agreed to peacefully reintegrate Eastern Slavonia, Baranja, and Western Sirmium under terms of the Erdut Agreement, and the Croatian government re-established political and legal authority over those territories in January 1998. In December 1995, Croatia signed the Dayton peace agreement, committing itself to a permanent cease-fire and the return of all refugees.
The death of President Tudjman in December 1999, followed by the election of a coalition government and President in early 2000, brought significant changes to Croatia. The government, under the leadership of then-Prime Minister Racan, progressed in implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords, regional cooperation, refugee returns, national reconciliation, and democratization.
On November 23, 2003, national elections were held for Parliament, and the HDZ, which had governed Croatia from independence until 2000, came back into power. The HDZ government, headed by Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, was narrowly re-elected in a November 2007 ballot, and the new government assumed office on January 12, 2008. The Sanader government's priorities included membership for Croatia in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); Croatia joined NATO in April 2009. In July 2009, Prime Minister Sanader unexpectedly resigned, and Deputy Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor took over as Croatia's first female Prime Minister. Since that time, Prime Minister Kosor has focused on tackling economic reform and corruption at home, while pushing to overcome the last remaining hurdles to Croatia's EU accession.
In January 2010, Ivo Josipovic won the final round of presidential elections to replace two-term President Stjepan Mesic.
The Croatian Parliament, also known as the Sabor, became a unicameral body after its upper house (Chamber of Counties) was eliminated by constitutional amendment in March 2001. The remaining body, the Chamber of Representatives, consists of 153 members who serve 4-year terms elected by direct vote. The Sabor includes 140 members from 14 geographic districts within Croatia (each district holds 10 seats), as well as eight seats guaranteed to representatives of national minorities (3 for the Serb minority, one each for several other smaller groups), and seats for Croatians abroad without fixed residence in Croatia, the large majority of whom reside in Bosnia-Herzegovina. As of the November 2007 parliamentary elections, the diaspora representatives held 5 Sabor seats. Following changes to the constitution in 2010, diaspora representatives would be guaranteed 3 seats in the Sabor. The Sabor meets twice a year--from January 15 to July 15 and from September 15 to December 15.
The powers of the legislature include enactment and amendment of the constitution, passage of laws, adoption of the state budget, declarations of war and peace, alteration of the boundaries of the republic, and carrying out elections and appointments to office.
Following the death of President Tudjman, the powers of the presidency were curtailed and greater responsibility was vested in Parliament. Ivo Josipovic was elected as the third President in January 2010. The president is the head of state and is elected by direct popular vote for a term of 5 years. The president is limited to serving no more than two terms. In addition to being the commander in chief, the president appoints the prime minister and cabinet members with the consent of Parliament.
Jadranka Kosor assumed the office of prime minister after the unexpected resignation of Prime Minister Sanader in July 2009. The prime minister, who is nominated by the president, assumes office following a parliamentary vote of confidence in the new government. The prime minister and government are responsible for proposing legislation and a budget, executing the laws, and guiding the foreign and internal policies of the republic. The HDZ-led government that assumed office in January 2008 represented a coalition agreement between the HDZ (66 seats), the HSS (6 seats), the SDSS (3 seats), and other minority representatives. The HSLS party, which had two seats in the Sabor, decided to leave the coalition in June 2010 but the two HSLS deputies split with their party and reached an agreement to cooperate with the ruling coalition. The lone representative of the HSU previously left the coalition government in July 2009. The current government has, in addition to Prime Minister Kosor, 19 ministers, which includes four deputy prime ministers. Ten of the ministers come from the ranks of the HDZ. Coalition partners hold four cabinet seats: tourism and three deputy prime minister seats, including one responsible for regional development and returns held by a representative of the Croatian Serb SDSS party. This is the highest-ranking government position held by a Croatian Serb since Croatia's independence in 1991. Four cabinet posts are held by non-partisan subject matter experts including the Ministers of Interior, Administration, Education, and Justice.
Croatia has a three-tiered judicial system, consisting of the Supreme Court, county courts, and municipal courts. Croatia's Supreme Court is the highest court in the republic. The Supreme Court assures the uniform application of laws. Members of the high court are appointed by the National Judicial Council, a body of 11 members, and justices on the Supreme Court are appointed for life. The court's hearings are generally open to the public.
The Constitutional Court is a body of 13 judges appointed by Parliament for an 8-year term. The Constitutional Court works to assure the conformity of all laws to the constitution.

Croatia maintains an embassy in the United States at 2343 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington DC, 20008-2853, tel. (202) 588-5899, fax: (202) 588-8936. Consulates General of the Republic of Croatia are located in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Honorary consulates are located in St. Paul, New Orleans, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City.
Following World War II, rapid industrialization and diversification occurred within Croatia. Decentralization came in 1965, allowing growth of certain sectors, particularly the tourist industry. Profits from Croatian industry were used to develop poorer regions in the former Yugoslavia. This, coupled with austerity programs and hyperinflation in the 1980s, contributed to discontent in Croatia.
Privatization and the drive toward a market economy had barely begun under the new Croatian Government when war broke out in 1991. As a result of the war, the economic infrastructure sustained massive damage, particularly the revenue-rich tourism industry. From 1989 to 1993, GDP fell 40.5%. With the end of the war in 1995, tourism and Croatia's economy recovered moderately. However, corruption, cronyism, and a general lack of transparency stymied meaningful economic reform, as well as much-needed foreign investment.
Croatia's economy turned the corner in 2000 as tourism rebounded. The economy expanded by 5.6% in 2002, stimulated by a credit boom led by newly privatized and foreign-capitalized banks, some capital investment (most importantly road construction), further growth in tourism, and gains by small and medium-sized private enterprises. These trends continued, with credit growth fueling strong demand in construction and services, resulting in 4.8% GDP growth in 2006. Unemployment, although still high, began a steady decline over this period. Croatia also benefited from macroeconomic stability over the preceding several years with a stable exchange rate, low inflation, and shrinking government deficits. The start of European Union accession talks in 2005 and the prospect of NATO membership also helped attract higher levels of foreign investment.
Despite these gains, however, substantial challenges remain, particularly in reforming the judicial system and reducing corruption. The privatization process, begun in the 1990s, has been unsteady, largely as a result of public mistrust engendered when many state-owned companies were sold to the politically well-connected at below-market prices. The government sold three large metals plants in early 2007, but the Croatian state still controls a significant part of the economy, with government spending accounting for as much as 40% of GDP. Some large, state-owned industries, such as the country's shipyards, continue to rely on government subsidies, crowding out investment in education and technology needed to ensure the economy's long-term competitiveness.
Croatia has so far weathered the global financial crisis reasonably well, but faces significant challenges in 2010 and beyond. The government has taken steps to implement a plan for economic recovery, but has met with resistance from unions and the opposition. GDP contracted by 5.8% in 2009 and is expected to be flat in 2010, largely due to failing companies, job losses, and therefore a sharp decrease in consumer spending. Croatia's external imbalances and high foreign debt present risks as well, as continued access to foreign credit may be severely limited. An inefficient bureaucracy, relatively high labor costs, and lack of transparency in taxes, fees, and the public tender process have all led to a generally unfavorable climate for foreign investment. To address this, the government has begun to eliminate certain non-tax fees on business, consolidate overlapping government agencies, and identify administrative barriers to foreign investment, but progress is slow.
Croatia has made great strides on the road to Euro-Atlantic integration. In October 2001, Croatia and the European Union signed a Stabilization and Association Agreement. In February 2003 Croatia formally presented its EU membership application, and in April 2004 the European Commission agreed to open EU accession negotiations with Croatia. The opening of talks was delayed in March 2005 when the EU questioned Croatia's cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Talks finally got underway in October 2005, after the ICTY's chief prosecutor confirmed that Croatia was fully cooperating.
Much of the controversy surrounding Croatia's ICTY cooperation concerns former General Ante Gotovina, presently standing trial for war crimes in The Hague. A fugitive from justice since 2002, Gotovina was arrested in December 2005 by Spanish authorities in the Canary Islands, partially as a result of intelligence information provided by the Croatian Government. More recently, Croatia's ICTY cooperation has been assessed, in part, based on its ability to track down missing documents requested by the ICTY for use in the prosecution of Gotovina.
Croatia's EU accession negotiations were stalled again in late 2008 over a border dispute with Slovenia, until Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor and Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor agreed in November 2009 to take the dispute to arbitration. Ratified almost immediately by the Croatian Sabor, the arbitration agreement was also supported by the Slovenian public in a June 2010 referendum.
Croatia is now in the final stage of its EU accession negotiations, which are divided into chapters covering a range of EU policy areas. On June 30, 2010 the European Commission announced it was opening the final three chapters--Competition Policy, Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), and Judiciary and Fundamental Rights.
Croatia was admitted on May 25, 2000 into the Partnership for Peace program--which was designed by North Atlantic Treaty Organization member states in 1994 to strengthen Euro-Atlantic security--and, in May 2002, was welcomed into NATO's Membership Action Program, a key step toward NATO membership. On May 2, 2003, the United States joined Croatia, Albania, and Macedonia to sign the Adriatic Charter, in which the three NATO aspirants pledged their commitment to NATO values and their cooperative efforts to further their collective NATO aspirations. In 2008, the Adriatic Charter expanded to include two new countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Croatia received an invitation to join NATO at the NATO Summit in Bucharest, Romania in April 2008; it became a full member of the Alliance in April 2009.
Croatia has been a member of the United Nations since 1992, and contributes troops to a number of UN operations including those in the Golan Heights, Cyprus, Sudan, Liberia, Lebanon, Western Sahara, and Kashmir. In December 2009, Croatia ended a 2-year term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. Since 2003, Croatia has contributed troops to support NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) and the International Stabilization Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The Croatian Parliament in April 2010 approved raising the ceiling on the number of soldiers in Afghanistan to 320. Croatia is a member of the World Trade Organization and the Central European Free Trade Organization.
Croatia is also active in the region, particularly in supporting its neighbors' Euro-Atlantic aspirations. While Croatia has made progress on dealing with a number of post-conflict issues, the status of refugees displaced during the 1991-95 war and determining the fate of missing persons from the war remain key issues influencing Croatia's relations with its neighbors.
The United States opened its Embassy in Zagreb in 1992. U.S. engagement in Croatia is aimed at fostering a democratic, secure, and market-oriented society that will be a strong partner in Euro-Atlantic institutions.
In an effort to promote regional stability through refugee returns, the United States has given more than $18 million since 1998 in humanitarian demining assistance. Croatia hopes to remove an estimated one million remaining mines by 2010. The United States also has provided additional financial assistance to Croatia through the Southeastern European Economic Development Program (SEED) to facilitate democratization and restructuring of Croatia's financial sector, largely through programs managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Most SEED funding and USAID programs in Croatia concluded in 2008.

That's why the osteopathic medical profession is urging our nation's policymakers to invest in high quality health care for today's seniors and generations to come. Together, we can help cure Medicare. Your Voice, and Every Patient Counts. Medicare physician payment cuts are once again looming, strengthening the need to permanently eliminate the sustainable growth rate (SGR). Physicians face a 25% payment cut come Jan. 1, 2014. Tell Congress it is absolutely vital to act before the payment cut takes effect at the end of the year. It's not just a percentage. It's a burden, one that will cause physicians to reconsider whether they can continue to see or take on new Medicare patients. It's also a burden for patients, who will face increasing problems getting access to the medical care they need. Seniors will either face longer wait times to see their physician or will find it extremely difficult to even find one who accepts Medicare. Get Involved DOs and their patients must join efforts and engage on this issue to apply pressure to Congress to fix this problem. Collectively, we can deliver the important message that access to Medicare physician services is of utmost importance — that Every Patient Counts. Visit www.EveryPatientCounts.org to learn how you can get involved to make sure this issue remains front and center on the minds of Congressional leaders every single day. The time for comprehensive physician payment reform is now! We need every member of the osteopathic family — we need you — to join this important advocacy effort. Reach out to your legislators and tell them that Every Patient Counts. Share This Your browser does not support this functionality. Raise Your Voice Physicians and patients: Visit www.EveryPatientCounts.org to let lawmakers know it's time for a permanent solution for the Medicare physician payment system.

Movement Disorders
Our primary mission is to provide advanced state-of-the-art neurosurgical treatments for patients with disabling neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, among others.
The decision to undergo surgery for Parkinson's disease or other movement disorders is reached only after much deliberation. Patients with mild symptoms should not have this surgery. However, when conventional medical treatment has proved inadequate to control disabling symptoms, neurosurgical techniques such as deep brain stimulation may be an option.
We provide complete care to all patients through every stage of the surgical procedures, from patient education and pre-operative screening, to intra-operative brain mapping and surgery, to careful post-operative care and stimulator adjustments.

What can I do to help my extremely shy 21-month-old?
We recently moved and I stopped working to take care of my son. He's always been a bit shy, but it's getting worse. I try to expose him to lots of kids and people through playgroups, swimming lessons, story time... but nothing works. He's always stuck to my leg and crying when someone comes to say hello. He even starts screaming if I talk to other people! It's embarrassing and takes up a lot of my energy. Is it a phase, will it get better?
