Have faith that we are going to get through these troubled times ahead of us. Our nation has troubles, and because the Army is a part of the nation, we have some challenges. We are going to meet those challenges, and we are going to be a better Army in the future than we are today, which is the best Army in the world.

The U.S. Army Exhibit
What is it?
The U.S. Army Exhibit, at Booth #1775, is a must-see, interactive, audio-visual experience featured at the Association of the United States Army's Annual Meeting and Exposition, to be held Oct. 10-12, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. It is the Army's centerpiece military exhibit serving to effectively communicate the mission, vision and values of America's Army.
The theme continues: America's Army: The Strength of the Nation.
What has the Army done?
Throughout the three-day meeting, the exhibit's presenters and media products will focus on telling visitors why the Army is the 'Strength of the Nation' educate the Army community through interactive presentations and inspire participants through videos highlighting the many contributions of Soldiers and other pillars of strength who support the Army.
The Army Exhibit is broken down into three sections: Warriors Corner, Marquee Theater and Interactive Display. Warriors Corner provides a prominent forum for 17 live presentations that focus on current operations and Army initiatives, each followed by question-and-answer sessions. In the Marquee Theater, two videos will air continuously. The first video is 'The Squad' and the second video is entitled 'The Army Profession.' The interactive area features a presentation highlighting the Army's transition in the crucible of war for the past 10 years as it evolved to meet both current needs and future requirements. Employing moderators using advanced gesture-driven and touch screen technology, the audience participates in this informative presentation, at interactive pods. Further, there will be a demonstration on how the Army is using cutting-edge interactive concepts from the Institute for Creative Technologies, to address various training and leader development requirements.
Why is this important to the Army?
The U.S. Army Exhibit seeks to provide content that communicates key Army messages based on our strategic communication priorities, including: Modernization, Health of the Force, Leader Development, Efficiencies, Medical Innovations, Transforming the Institutional Army, and Army Force Generation.
What is planned for the future?
The U.S. Army will continue to leverage opportunities to engage audiences to tell the Army story. After Oct . 1, Army advocates are encouraged to visit The U.S. Army's official website www.army.mil for additional resources on the Army's participation at the AUSA.
A U.S. Army Exhibit mobile application will be available Oct. 1st, in two formats: Apple iOS X compatible with iPhone 3GS and 4 and iPad 1 and 2 and Blackberry and Android compatible App written in HTML 5. Visit U.S. Army- Mobile for instructions

Tehran's bluster sparks boost in sales of U.S. arms to Arab states
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
While Iran's military loudly trumpets every new project or purported advance in hopes of rattling the U.S. and its Gulf Arab allies, the U.S. is quietly answering with an array of proposed arms sales across the region as part of a wider effort to counter Tehran.
In the past two months, the Defense Department has notified Congress of possible deals totaling more than $11.3 billion to Gulf states such as Qatar and Kuwait, which are seen as some of America's critical front-line partners in containing Iran and protecting oil shipping lanes.
The proposed sales — including Patriot missile batteries and Apache attack helicopters — are still modest compared with massive Gulf purchases such as Saudi Arabia's $60 billion package last year. That deal included more than 80 new F-15SA fighter jets, missiles, radar warning systems and other equipment.
But the recent flurry of expected sales from U.S. firms, approved by the Pentagon and outlined in notifications to Congress, underscores the growing emphasis among nervous Gulf states on seeking quick upgrades to existing firepower and defensive networks.
The arms sales need congressional approval, but usually few objections are raised for key allies such as Gulf nations.
Gulf worries about possible military action against Iran have increased with diplomatic efforts making little headway in easing the showdown over Tehran's nuclear program, which the West and others fear could eventually develop atomic weapons. Iran says it only seeks reactors for energy and medical uses.
An Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, reported Sunday that national security adviser Tom Donilon briefed Israeli officials on possible U.S. attack plans if diplomacy and sanctions fail to pressure Tehran to scale back its nuclear enrichment program. A senior Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential talks, denied the Haaretz report.
The news reports reflect the uncertainties in the region with negotiations nearly stalled and Iran trying to push back against deepening sanctions on its vital oil exports.
"We are seeing more and more bluster from the Iranian side and the U.S. and Gulf allies showing the Iranians they are a united front," said Theodore Karasik, a regional security expert at the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis. "The Gulf states are nervous. They show this nervousness by buying more weapons."

While an apartment fire was unfolding at an apartment on East 10th Street, another emergency call came in, this time right up the road at the Brewster Building on the East Carolina University campus. That building houses various departments, like history, economics and political science. The fire turned out to be a small one, in a men's room trashcan. No word of what, or who, sparked the blaze, which was put out quickly.

text: US Supreme Court seems unconvinced of human gene patent legality Science 16 April 13 by Liat Clark Shutterstock Judges sitting at a US Supreme Court hearing have indicated they are not convinced isolated human genes should be patented. It suggests a prior ruling, that has seen biotechnology company Myriad enjoy a monopoly over breast cancer tests, could be quashed. The case centres on Myriad's patents for the hereditary BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, mutations of which are linked to breast and ovarian cancer. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Public Patent Foundation -- representing doctors, patients and researchers that have together argued human genes and related synthesised materials cannot be patented -- filed a suit against Myriad in 2009. A federal judge originally sided with the plaintiffs, but the decision was overruled at appeals court.Now the case has reached the Supreme Court the decision will be lasting and the Justices, aware of the sensitive nature of the case, appear reluctant to rule on "the broadest possible ground", as is being demanded of them by both sides. "Why should we do that?" said Justice Samuel Alito.Instead, in the course of the debate on 15 April, it became clear the Justices did not feel comfortable with Myriad's argument that isolated DNA is a novel, patentable material. The court did however appear inclined to protect cDNA patents -- DNA which is synthesised using RNA. This could be the compromise the Obama administration is after -- it has refused to side-take, but the case's outcome could massively influence a billion dollar industry that has seen thousands of human genes patented in the US alone. You can read the full court hearing transcript here, but below are a few highlights from the day's events.Nature vs. Manmade US law states that "laws of nature, natural phenomena and abstract ideas" cannot be patented, and the plaintiffs argued that Myriad's discovery falls into these categories. "Myriad unlocked the secrets of two human genes," admitted their lawyer, Christopher Hansen. "But the genes themselves, where they start and stop, what they do, what they are made of, and what happens when they go wrong, are all decisions that were made by nature, not by Myriad."Using a hypothetical example of a leaf in the Amazon that has medicinal purposes, Justice Alito asked if this natural object could be patented. Hansen argued that though the leaf itself could not be patented, if you dramatically changed it in some way using a specific method, that could be patented because it has been transformed and given a new function. On the other hand, the "functions" that Myriad claims it has created in isolating the breast cancer genes are not, Hansen argued, anything resembling new. For instance, one such new function is that we can look at it, because they've isolated it outside of the body -- "that's not really a new function," said Hansen, "that's simply the nature of when you extract something you can look at it better".Another of Myriad's arguments is that the genes have a new use, now they've been isolated, in testing for the breast cancer gene. Simply finding a new use for a product of nature does not make something patentable though, said Hansen: "If I find a new way of taking gold and making earrings out of it, that doesn't entitle me to a patent on gold."Does "snipping" DNA create something new? Gregory Castanias, intellectual property partner at Jones Day and lawyer for Myriad, did not appear to convince the Justices of his argument that "snipping" DNA -- effectively separating it from a larger chunk and isolating something novel -- is patentable.Posturing in his closing remarks, he said: "It's important to note that molecules have been patented for a very long time. That's what drugs are. And drugs are often made by taking one molecule and another molecule, both of which are known, reacting them in a test tube, which is a very common thing, reactions have been around 100 years just like snipping has been, but they make something new and useful and life saving from that." Chief Justice Roberts responded: "Well, I don't understand how this is at all like that, because there you're obviously combining things and getting something new. Here you're just snipping, and you don't have anything new, you have something that is a part of something that has existed previous to your intervention."Without Myriad, though, we wouldn't know where to snip, argued Castanias, a point that was quickly countered by the Justice who pointed out the case is not about patenting where we snip, but what's left after we snip. Castanias maintained that what's left over has new uses ("the most important reason it's different in kind is that it cannot be used in the body to detect the risk of breast and ovarian cancers") and is a product of human ingenuity.Whether or not human ingenuity is truly involved in isolating the DNA, has been called into question by a document presented by Eric Lander, a biology professor at MIT, and referenced by Justice Roberts. It revealed that snippets of DNA do in fact occur in nature, isolated from the chromosome -- data from foetal DNA has in the past shown fragments of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes floating in the blood.Justice Elena Kagan pushed the point, arguing the isolated DNA was always there in the body, in the same form it's been patented, and thus cannot be deemed "new"."The plant in the forest can't be used for any purpose either. It only has a use when it's taken out -- you know, when it's uprooted and taken out of the forest. But it's still the same thing. And I guess what you haven't gotten me to understand is how this is different than that. It's still the same thing, but now that you've isolated it, it in fact has lots of great uses."The threat to progress The main concerns raised involved stifling innovation and competition in the industry by making too broad a ruling. But Hansen argued that would never have been the case when it came to BRCA1 and BRCA2 because other labs looking for the same genes had, prior to Myriad's discovery, announced they would not patent them. Once Myriad discovered it, it wasted no time in shutting down this research. It means other labs do not have the opportunity to investigate the genes for anyother purpose -- disease prevention, better diagnostics tests or even drug therapy. "When you lock up a product of nature, it prevents industry from innovating and making new discoveries," said Hansen. "There may be a million things you can do with the BRCA gene, but nobody but Myriad is allowed to look at it and that is impeding science rather than advancing it."Hansen called the method by which Myriad extracts the genes "routine, conventional science" and argued that other isolated natural products that have been patented (such as aspirin), involve "further manipulation... so that the product of nature is no longer what it was in nature", something Myriad falls short of.In a blunt appraisal of his case, he concluded: "One way to address the question presented by this case is what exactly did Myriad invent? And the answer is nothing. If you uphold the patents in this case, Myriad has the authority given it by the government to stop anyone from doing research on a piece of the human body." Myriad won the same case at an Australian court in February, and has been battling research centres probing the breast cancer gene ever since it was granted patent rights. With its European operations recently opened, and thousands of international patents on human genes already granted, all eyes are on the Supreme Court and whether it will set a game-changing precedent when it rules in June.

text: Wolfram Research unveils 'computable document format' Data 22 July 11 by Duncan Geere Wolfram Research Wolfram Research, the company behind "answer engine" Wolfram Alpha, has built an interactive document format for sharing complex data.The Computable Document Format, or CDF, allows its user to program interactive experiences into a document so that data can be explored more easily. You can create widgets that allow the user to fiddle with sliders, input numbers or play animations on-demand. For example, on Wolfram Research's blog, there's an interactive widget that explains the Doppler effect -- the way sounds change in pitch depending on whether they are approaching or moving away from your position.Wolfram's goal is to make it as easy to produce little interactive widgets as it is to create a graph in Microsoft Office's Excel -- without requiring someone to learn a programming language. The theory is that data is more easily communicable when it's interactive, than when it's static.To play with the applet, unfortunately, you'll need to download a weighty 150MB installer, which then puts 500MB of data onto your hard drive. That's not going to be widely welcomed by universities and schools -- arguably the organisations who'll benefit most from the format.However, it'll likely be welcomed by researchers that work with complex datasets and lack and easy way of presenting that data to the public. It's not easy to make CDF files yet, admits Conrad Wolfram on Wolfram Research's blog, but if it's easier than putting the same experience together in existing programming languages, then it could gain some traction."The idea is to provide a knowledge container that's as easy to author as documents, but with the interactivity of apps," said Wolfram. "For CDFs to make live interactivity as everyday a way to communicate as spreadsheets made charts." If you want to have a play around with the format, head on over to Wolfram Research's website and install the plugin. Edited by Olivia Solon Latest on wired.co.uk

Anyway, I've done all the training, with my last five long runs totalling just under 100 miles. Sunday 26th April sees me take on my London fourth marathon, assuming I don't accidentally go out for birthday drinks on Saturday.
You should be able to track me as I run. See here for more details.
This year I'm supporting Addison's Disease Self Help Group as one of my close family has Addison's. Addison's Disease is a rare condition brought on by failure of the adrenal glands, and keeping the disease under control requires life-long steroid replacement treatment. There are about 8000 cases in the UK.
Addisons Disease Self Help Group is a small group of people working voluntarily to provide help and support to people affected. They raise awareness of the condition, keep members abreast of medical advances and support a limited number of medical projects.
Now the technical bit: Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Addison's Disease Self-Help Group gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

DS does not really converse. He has MANY words and will use simple sentences but typically will not have a conversation. I can ask yes or no questions and get an appropriate response about 85% of the time. But he typically will not initiate a conversation. He will ask for things and will tell me when he does NOT want to do things and he will make statements about his surroundings.
He has an amazing memory and can recite books and songs by heart but it is not him creating the thoughts it is just repeating.
Repeating seems to be his main way to communicate. Day Care has brought it up as a possible issue.
For example, if you ask him -do you want chicken or macaroni- he will say -macaroni BUT if you ask -do you want macaroni or chicken he will say -chicken!!
He will say -watch giraffe?- using appropriate inflection to indicate this is a question.
I will say yes but you need to ask me nicely then he will say -ask me nicely- instead of saying –may I watch giraffe please-
Then I try to explain to him that when I say -ask me nicely- he should say -may I watch giraffe please- and he just watches my lips with a big smile on his face and when I am done he says -PLEASE! *sigh*

The Great Chinese Exodus
Andrew Browne, Wall Street Journal
The Associated Press
Today, China's borders are wide open. Almost anybody who wants a passport can get one. And Chinese nationals are leaving in vast waves: Last year, more than 100 million outbound travelers crossed the frontiers. Most are tourists who come home. But rapidly growing numbers are college students and the wealthy, and many of them stay away for good. A survey by the Shanghai research firm Hurun Report shows that 64% of China's rich—defined as those with assets of more than $1.6 million—are either emigrating or planning to.

Wildcats move to 6-0 with dominating win
DAVIE -- The latest edition of the annual Hog Bowl wasn't much of a battle in the second half.
Western snatched the lead with a touchdown with 17 seconds left in the second quarter, and then proceeded to blow out Cooper City in the third quarter, outscoring its rival 27-0 in a span of eight minutes.
So what does Friday night's 37-14 triumph tell us about Western?
"It says we're 6-0 and we've got to get ready to play Flanagan next week," Western coach Rashad West said matter-of-factly.
Sure, there was a lot the Wildcats had to be excited about Friday.
Quarterback Wade Freebeck passed for 249 yards and three touchdowns, boosting his season totals to 14 touchdown and 1,136 yards.
Brayon Parrish rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and Tarik Cummings caught six passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.
And the Wildcats' defense forced four turnovers, with Danny Shevlin, Juwan Dowels and Billy Ellison each recording an interception. Aside from a meaningless touchdown up 30 points in the fourth quarter, the defense allowed just seven points – it came in having allowed a total of 33 in the first five games.
Despite all of that, though, the Wildcats' enthusiasm was tempered, in part because there's still a lot to prove. The remaining schedule includes Miramar (Oct. 26) and Cypress Bay (Nov. 2) as well as Flanagan and Nova.
This team is capable of finishing the regular-season undefeated. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Duloxetine (Cymbalta) for Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder - STEPS
Treating Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain - Article
ABSTRACT: Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain affects the functionality, mood, and sleep patterns of approximately 10 to 20 percent of patients with diabetes mellitus. Treatment goals include restoring function and improving pain control. Patients can realistically expect a 30 to 50 percent reduction in discomfort with improved functionality. The main classes of agents used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain include tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, opiates and opiate-like substances, and topical medications. Physicians should ask patients whether they have tried complementary and alternative medicine therapies for their pain. Only two medications are approved specifically for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain: pregabalin and duloxetine. However, evidence supports the use of other therapies, and unless there are contraindications, tricyclic antidepressants are the first-line treatment. Because patients often have multiple comorbidities, physicians must consider potential adverse effects and possible drug interactions before prescribing a medication.

"I'm hangin' in there."
I frequently hear this response when I ask, "How are you?" Maybe you do too. For some it's a lazy habit, but for others it's serious. The news is depressing. Unemployment is hopeless. A family is in crisis. The future looks bleak, the world feels out of control. Emotions are paralyzed.
Though many feel defenseless, battered and helpless, their brains are screaming, "Do something!" Their response to my greeting says they may still be breathing, but they're not living.
Joseph, the Old Testament character with the colorful coat, overcame several crises that could have driven him to the same sort of gloomy despair. Yet, when it appeared that evil was winning, Joseph didn't just hang on, he thrived.
The fact that he ultimately became second-in-command in the land of Egypt wasn't a reward for his endurance. It was evidence of something else — something anyone can do.
Joseph ultimately looked like a success by the standards of time and space because he was already successful by the standards of eternity and infinity.

I considered a century to be the "holy grail" of bicycling. Something that extra ordinary people could do but I was never going to see it. My last attempt at 100 miles was about 4 months ago and I completely ran out of steam at a little over 80. I went as far as I could and couldn't even stand when I stopped. Had to call for a ride.
Well today I did it!!! 104 miles!! I'm so proud I just had to share!
So now I have the bragging rights but I don't think I will ever attempt it again. The last 20 miles were not what could be considered fun by any definition, and the last 10 were absolute torture.
But I made it!!

SO ABSOLUTE was the rout of Iraq's army in Mosul that soldiers stripped off their uniforms in the street and fled. The bodies of those left behind, some mutilated, were strewn amid burned-out troop carriers. Roughly 1,500 jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), outnumbered by more than 15 to one, reportedly seized six Black Hawk helicopters as well as untold plunder from the vaults of Mosul's banks.

Goodness! I am loving every detail from the Free Wedding. Just the colors alone are enough to make my eyes pop! And those flowers? Sheesh, forget it! Everything is just stunning. The bridesmaids' dresses were one of the first things that caught my eye. Custom designed by Sohomade, the 50's-inspired tea dresses are made with vintage fabrics. I love the prints! Previously, I thought about having my sister, the maid of honor, wear a printed dress, but now thoughts of all the ladies wearing prints are dancing in my head. And the shoes? Adorable.
{Images via J. Crew}
I saw the Marbella dress on Green Wedding Shoes and loooved it. The colors are quite close to my color palette idea. I am not quite sure if I am on board for bridesmaids wearing different colored dresses. I do like dresses in the same shades/color families. I certainly like the idea of the maid of honor wearing a different dress.

February Cass Freight Index Report shows signs of improvement, but economic obstacles remain
March 06, 2013
The February edition of the Cass Freight Index report released today by Cass Information Systems showed some signs of improvement, especially when compared to previous months.
The Cass Freight Index accurately measures trends in North American shipping activity based on $20 billion in paid freight expenses of roughly 350 of America's largest shippers, according to Cass officials.
As LM has reported, many trucking industry executives and analysts consider the Cass Freight Index to be the most accurate barometer of freight volumes and market conditions, with many analysts noting that the Cass Freight Index sometimes leads the American Trucking Associations (ATA) tonnage index at turning points, which lends to the value of the Cass Freight Index.
Freight shipments in February were up both sequentially and annually in contrast to January, which was down on both fronts, with volumes up for the first time in four months. Shipments—at 1.077—were up 5.6 percent compared to January and up 0.5 percent compared to February 2012. February represents the 31st consecutive month shipments were above the 1.0 mark since May 2010, when shipments moved above the 1.0 mark for the first time since November 2008.
The report explained that the sharp increase in February shipments—compared to a 4.8 percent drop in January—is partially due to rail's strong performance over the last four weeks, with carloadings and intermodal units up 3.7 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively.
In her analysis of the data, Rosalyn Wilson, senior business analyst with Delcan Corporation and author of the annual CSCMP State of Logistics report, said that the transportation sector has been demonstrating what she said was an uneven performance.
Wilson noted that carloadings and intermodal units were up two weeks and down two weeks, with intermodal down 5.2 percent the week ending February 28, and she added that the American Trucking Association's truck tonnage index has grown over December and January, which she said would seem contrary to the trend in the Cass index.
"The Cass shipments index is not a reflection of tonnage carried, so the two could vary for a variety of reasons," Wilson wrote. "The most likely reason for the difference in the last few months is that the average weight of a shipment rose during the period. In addition, the trucking industry remains at or near capacity and there was no indication of capacity pressure or truck shortages, suggesting that the same number of trucks were handling more tonnage per shipment. Anecdotal evidence also supports fuller loads for LTL carriers."
February freight expenditures at 2.273 were 1.8 percent above January and down 1.0 percent compared to February 2012.
The report pointed out that the weak performance of the economy has prevented carriers from implementing rate increases, stating that most of February's expenditures' growth can be attributed to heavier loads and fuel surcharges.
Wilson said that while her 2013 GDP forecast is below 3 percent, February has produced a "mixed bag" of economic indicators, with housing sales up and February building permits reaching its highest level in four years, coupled with strong automotive sales over the last three months and manufacturing growth appearing to be back on track.
Conversely, the impacts of the federal budget sequester and government spending cuts and personnel furloughs, a payroll tax increase, weak retail sales, high fuel prices, ongoing global economic decline, and weak job growth, high unemployment and rising operating costs all serve as negative headwinds. March, she said, is likely to be similar to January and February in freight transportation, with the impact of the government spending cuts not hitting all at once but are likely to have long-term effects on the economy.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin wrote in a research note that the economy is still searching for direction.
"While housing, auto, and energy development sectors continue to show strength, overall consumer spending appears to have plateaued as the resumption of the full payroll tax, rising gasoline prices, and muted job creation have all taken their toll," he noted.

Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Questions and activities
- Sculptures can be made in many different ways and with many different materials. A sculptor also needs to consider space, form and balance as well as the subject of the work. Organise a sculpture competition and see who can create the tallest sculpture using only everyday objects. Discuss why certain approaches were successful and some were not.
- Identify which of the sculptures listed here from the Gallery's collection use assemblage, carving or casting techniques. Research these techniques and create a visual timeline from 1900 to today showing the variation of approaches to sculpture.
- Consider Angus's Bugatti type 35 and Gascoigne's Metropolis. How have the conventions of sculpture been challenged in these works? How do they reflect contemporary practice?
- Why do you think Klippel used a number for the title of his work? How does this affect the way you view the work? Develop a case study on this artist and his approach to artmaking. Research other works by Klippel in the collection to support your point of view.
- Select a work from those listed here and discuss its use of mass and negative space. Are these elements of equal importance? How do they work together to create the overall effect? Create two drawing studies of the work: in the first, only draw the work's mass; in the second, draw just the space around it. Juxtapose these images to form an abstract composition in 2D or 3D form.

Hey guys, just a question out of curiosity. Is the way to win a DM simply to play fast and load up on the most OP cards available such as in this noob abomination?
Or is their a more refined method that works better?
For example, SOA is common in DM, is using decks revolving around Flinch Kyle etc to deal with all the multiple Jackie Cr and Toro also plausible?

Little Rock religious leaders speak out against bullying
Timothy Kincaid
November 1st, 2010
Perhaps one positive result has come from the bald bigotry spewed by Arkansas school-board member, Clint McCance; it seems that some religious leaders have become shocked by McCance's attempts to justify his statements by appeals to religion.
On Friday, several ministers in Little Rock spoke out against bullying and in support of gay and lesbian kids. (Arkansas Times)
The Arkansas Interfaith Alliance, a group of local religious leaders, spoke this morning on the steps of Christ Episcopal Church downtown in support for bullied gay and lesbian teens in the wake of the resignation of Midland School Board member Clint McCance.
The speakers were minister Barbara Jones, Bishop Charles Crutchfield of the United Methodist Church, Ruth Shepherd of Just Communities of Arkansas, Rabbi Gene Levy, pastor Bob Cline of the Universalist Unitarian Church, and former United Methodist Church Bishop Kenneth Hicks. They were backed by other community and religious leaders, including Judge Wendell Griffen and gay and lesbian advocate Randi Romo of the Center for Artistic Revolution.
