The Ethical Embellishment of Social Struggles
NO ONE seriously engaged in historical studies can have failed to perceive that all classes which have ever attained to dominion have earnestly endeavored to transmit to their descendants such political power as they have been able to acquire. The hereditary transmission of political power has always been the most efficacious means of maintaining class rule. Thus there is displayed in this field the same historical process which in the domain of the sexual life has given rise to the bourgeois family-order and its accessories, the indissolubility of marriage, the severe penalties inflicted upon the adulterous wife, and the right of primogeniture. In so far as we can draw sound conclusions from the scanty prehistoric data that are available, it seems that the bourgeois family owes its genesis to the innate tendency of man, as soon as he has attained a certain degree of economic well-being, to transmit his possessions by inheritance to the legitimate son whom he can with reasonable certainty regard as his own. The same tendency prevails in the field of politics, where it is kept active by all the peculiar and inherent instincts of mankind, and where it is vigorously nourished by an economic order based upon private property in the means of production, and in which therefore, by a natural and psychological analogy, political power comes also to be considered as an object of private hereditary ownership. In the political field, as everywhere else, the paternal instinct to transmit this species of property to the son has been always strongly manifest throughout historic time. This has been one of the principal causes of the replacement of elective monarchy by hereditary monarchy. The desire to maintain a position acquired by the family in society has at all times been so intense that, as Gaetano Mosca has aptly noted, whenever certain members of the dominant class have not been able to have sons of their own (as, for example, was the case with the prelates of the Roman Church), there has arisen with spontaneous and dynamic force the institution of nepotism, as an extreme manifes

The underachieving waif, says nbadraft.net, which has Gonzaga swingman Micah Downs going in the 2nd round, and Brockman going undrafted (Brockman could make an NFL roster on physique and demeanor alone, mind you). Downs' teammate, Josh Heytvelt, is also projected to go in the 2nd round.

Dirty! HORRIBLE maintenance and if you want to call someone - forget it! They will never answer you. We needed temporary housing in Lawrence between when we sold our house and had yet to find a new one. Saddlebrook seemed perfect but would be a nightmare. First of all, we never had a move in inspection, we never received a copy of our apartment lease (they would get that to us 'later.) After having moved in we reported multiple issues at the complex and apartment. People would break into the pool at all hours, nothing would be done. The ADA ramp at the pool we needed, was never fixed, the bathroom at the pool, never cleaned or stocked (so gross) the pool? Never cleaned though we called even when frogs invaded it. The apartment? In poor condition - the rug was never shampooed before we moved, we finally paid to have it done and pulled up years of dirt and grit out of it. Window had flaking paint and most of the windows didn't lock properly. At one point the garage was leaking and called it in, came to look at it, never came back. The maintenance at the apartment is a joke but none more than trying to find someone at the office. No one is ever there, no one will ever return your calls despite how many times you call them. We found a house and were luckily able to leave. And your deposit? After three months of calling and getting the run around - don't expect to get it back. They didn't have the right amount we paid, had costs that weren't in the contract put on the bill (charge for invisible carpet cleaning went from $75 to $150) and other charges with NO explanation deducted off. Someone should seriously investigate what is really going on at this apartment complex. I'm still trying to figure out how we were only in the apartment for ten days in December and yet our water bill for December was higher than November! And the fact that our new home - twice the size of this apartment is one third the water bill cost! The city says it checks out but I'm starting to suspect this apartment complex has a few people's apartments hooked up to that one unit's bill! Terrible experience!

It's that time of year! Freshly sharpened pencils, crisp empty notebook pages full of possibility, fall activity fairs, and new beginnings. Over at Brainfood, we've been busy harvesting lots of produce from the Brainfood Youth Garden and stockpiling it for fall programs. The garden has been producing loads of yummy veggies: pole beans, padron peppers, tomatoes, okra, and most of all, GREENS! We've been blanching and freezing collard greens, beet greens, rainbow chard, sweet potato greens, and more, and our students are certainly in for a year filled with lots of recipes featuring hyper-local greens from our Youth Garden right here on K Street!
Brainfood grads often have creative streak, and our Box Project class was no exception. After a summer of impromptu singing and some spontaneous kitchen dance routines, we challenged them to channel their talents into a last day music video. Armed with props supplied by Garden Manager Aimee, they created a music video mashup that's still got us laughing.
All food has a story. From where it was planted, to where it was grown, to who harvested it, to how it was transported, to who sold it, to who bought it, to who cooked it, and to who ate it, there are so many little stories that each dish collects along its journey from farm to table. And every person along the journey that food takes has their own story to tell too.
Here at the Brainfood Summer Institute, we took a day to appreciate the art of food storytelling and how food interacts with culture and tradition. We named this day "Soul Food Day" and cooked some of the dishes our students had requested, including collard greens, mac & cheese, cornbread, and pumpkin pie. Before we began cooking, we took some time to watch a few videos of speakers on the website "A Spoken Dish" – a storytelling project dedicated to "celebrating and documenting food memories and rituals from people across the South."
The United States produces roughly 35 million tons of food waste every year, 95% of which, according to the EPA, goes straight to our landfills and incinerators. That means food waste ends up in our municipal solid waste systems more than any other kind of solid waste. At Brainfood, we care a lot about our food: where it comes from, how it was raised or grown, how it's preserved and stored, the way it's seasoned, handled, and cooked, and the energy and nutrients it provides us. This month at Summer Institute, our students paused to think about simple, realistic strategies to make the most out of our food resources and reduce food waste.

The summer is off to a great start here at Brainfood. The Summer Institute program and Box Project are in their second week after enjoying a long 4th of July weekend, but the Rising Tigers summer camp in Takoma Park, MD is in full swing at the end of its third week! Though it's only brainfood's second year at the camp, this year's group of 11 to 14 year olds is as eager and experienced in the kitchen as ever.
The camp kicked off the first week with a baking day which included granola bars, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, apple oatmeal muffins, and some fresh herb lemonade to top it all off. Naturally, this was a very popular week. Week two introduced the rising tigers to quick healthy snack ideas as the class period was cut a little bit short so campers could have the fourth of July off to celebrate. This entailed some popcorn trail mix with nuts, chocolate, and dried fruit as well as quesadilla making and a fresh fruit salad.
School's almost out, which means the Brainfood kitchens have been unusually quiet for the past couple of weeks. Our program participants are out finishing up another year of high school, and our ovens and stoves, pots and pans (not to mention instructors) are taking a break from daily cooking to focus on upcoming summer programs.
But outside in the Brainfood Youth Garden, things are in full swing! We're harvesting a bounty of fresh produce that our programs will use in recipes this summer. In this blog post, we're bringing you an exclusive sneak preview of a few of our favorite home-grown Brainfood edibles along with some fun facts about each.
Written by Kitchen All Stars Intern Lauryn Woodruff
Do you remember when you graduated? My own graduation from college was just two weeks ago and the memory is still fresh in my mind. When I think of graduations, I think of long speeches, taking what seems like a million and one photos, and a sea of robes. The Kitchen All Stars graduation was nothing like that.
Spending time outdoors is one of our favorite things about this time of year, and this week, Kitchen All Stars classes ventured outside the kitchen and into the garden! Participants from multiple sites explored the Brainfood Youth Garden together and spent the afternoon harvesting, learning, playing games, and of course, cooking. At this point in the year, students know their own Brainfood classmates quite well, but may not know the students who are in Brainfood programs at a different site. And what better way to get to know new people than pulling up radishes together?

Photomosaics with Metapixel
If you're looking for more than a convention tile design, try Metapixel, a free tool that creates attractive photomosaics from a collection of digital images.
You may be familiar with large-scale posters that use smaller photos to create a complete image [1]. This type of image is called a photomosaic. A photomosaic uses small photos in the way that a conventional graphic image uses pixels. You need to view the photomosaic image from a distance to see the overall effect.
Of course you could put a photomosaic together manually, but the process would be extremely difficult and time consuming. Linux users can now turn to a simple command line program to take care of this chore. Metapixel [2] by Mark Probst evaluates a collection of digital images and takes care of the photo montage.

Merck KGaA's life science division EMD Millipore negotiated a license to distribute Plasticell's fully-defined serum- and xeno-free osteogenic medium for research applications. Plasticell retains rights to market the medium for commercial applications.
The culture medium for mesenchymal stem cell differentiation has been developed using Plasticell's flagship bead-based Combinatorial Cell Culture (CombiCult™) platform, which tests millions of random combinations of cell culture variables in parallel to discover optimal laboratory protocols for the differentiation of adult or pluripotent stem cells.
To develop the optimized osteogenic medium CombiCult was used to screen over 3,375 combinations of fully defined cell culture media, which the firm says was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of combinations of media components. "The formulation of this medium in under three months from start to finish is a clear demonstration of the capability of the CombiCult technology," comments Jey Jeyakumar, Ph.D., Plasticell's principal scientist.
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?

The Last Stand Review
"Old Faithful Still Has The Steam To Get It Done."
January 18th, 2013
It's been ten years since Arnold Schwarzenegger took his sizable boots to behinds as a leading man in an action film. Terminator 3 certainly wasn't memorable, nor were his cameos in Stallone's geriatric Expendables. The Last Stand is truly his first time back on the action horse, and I must say, old faithful still has the steam to get it done. The film is surprisingly entertaining. It's got some humorous moments, actual stabs at serious drama, and the kind of wicked, no holds barred violence you expect Arnie to deliver. Korean director Jee-woon Kim deftly sets up Schwarzenegger to play to his strengths. The script by Andrew Knauer and Jeffrey Nachmanoff surrounds him with able character actors that lift The Last Stand to solid entertainment. It moves swiftly to a classic good versus evil, bullet riddled finale.
Schwarzenegger stars as aged Arizona Sheriff, Ray Owens. He's the top lawman in a sleepy border town call Sommerton. Ray lives a quiet life keeping the peace with a motley crew of well meaning, but decidedly inexperienced deputies (Louis Guzman, Zach Gilford, Jaimie Alexander). Their sleepy town becomes the showdown of ages when drug cartel kingpin Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega) spectacularly escapes FBI custody and makes a run for the Sommerton border. I won't ruin how he does this, but if you're into cars, you're in for a smashing ride. Forest Whitaker costars as the head FBI agent racing to stop Cortez's escape into Mexico. Ray and his deputies are outgunned and outmanned against ruthless thugs. They'll have to dip into the pool of locals, especially one Lewis Dinkum (Johnny Knoxville), to stop Cortez and his army.
The Last Stand does a great job of bringing the various storylines to a rewarding climax. There's a lot of characters and speaking parts. Arnie doesn't do well with loads of dialogue so they keep it short and simple with him. Leaving the wordplay and humor to the likes of Guzman and Knoxville. But it's also deadly serious. Not everyone makes it. The cops and criminals take their losses. Eduardo Noriega is pretty good as the c*cky, but clever drug lord. Forrest Whitaker holds up the heavyweight acting, while the female leads, Jaimie Alexander and Genesis Rodriguez are much more than distressed heroines. There's a lot going on in The Last Stand. Director Jee-woon Kim deserves a lion share of credit for putting all the parts together so well. I really look forward to seeing what he does next.
Perhaps Schwarzenegger's greatest achievement here is the acknowledgement that he is older, but still jacked enough to pulverize ninety-nine percent of the population. He's not quite the killing machine of old. Showing more leadership here, but still pulling the needed triggers and belting out perfect one-liners. It was good to see him back. I loved his films growing up. It's great to see that he was smart enough to do a film like this one. The Last Stand will surely be a crowd pleaser.

Lawmakers, advocates introduce stun gun bill
MONTPELIER — A group of Vermont lawmakers and the heads of disability and civil rights groups are pushing legislation that would create new rules governing police use of electronic stun guns.
They held a news conference on Tuesday to unveil a bill that would set up statewide training and rules for law enforcement officers using Tasers and similar devices.
The effort follows the death last year of Macadam Mason, a Thetford man who died of a heart attack after a state trooper hit him with a Taser.
Attorney General William Sorrell and the Orange County state's attorney announced last month that Senior Trooper
David Shaffer was justified using the stun gun on Mason last June because the distraught man failed to comply with orders and made threatening movements toward the trooper.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new eminent domain hearing will be held at a special City Council meeting today at...

European Commission for its proposed acquisition of Australia's
leading agribusiness company, GrainCorp Limited. With this, the
company now has clearance from six government agencies for the
After gaining The United States Federal Trade Commission's
approval in Nov 2012, Archer Daniels had sealed the deal in late
Apr 2013. Since then, the company has been seeking fair trade
clearance from the government agencies of different
At present, Archer Daniels has the acquisition sanction from
five countries including the U.S., Australia, South Africa,
Canada and Japan, along with the European Commission. Moreover,
the company is in negotiation with the government agencies of
China and South Korea for the final clearance.
Archer Daniels has agreed to pay A$12.20 per share for all
outstanding shares of GrainCorp which totals approximately A$3.4
billion. The American agribusiness giant already holds 19.8%
stake in the Australian agri-products dealer, acquired for an

2012. At the time of the initial offering in October, Archer
Daniels had about 14.9% interest in the Australian farm products
Archer Daniels' interest in acquiring GrainCorp is consistent
with its ongoing portfolio management initiative. The company's
strategy focuses on expanding its Agricultural Services and
Oilseeds businesses across the globe by investing in key supply
areas beyond national borders.
Apart from increasing the company's global footprint, the
aforementioned buyout will expectedly help Archer Daniels
consolidate its financial position.
Moreover, Archer Daniel's union with GrainCorp will likely
facilitate the former to broaden its scope, by channeling
Australia's farm produce to meet the growing demand for crops and
food in the global market, especially in Asia and the Middle
Currently, Australia's agricultural business has ample
opportunity for agri-based companies that are seeking to expand.
Australia is a major exporter of many commodities, ranging from
minerals such as iron ore to agricultural goods like wheat.

merchandises agricultural commodities and products in the United

Secrets of Success
We are finally taking a trip to see the grandkids.WooHoo!!
View NORASPAT's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from NORASPAT
Thursday, May 10, 2012
This has been a really wet, wild and weird week. How is that for alliteration.
The grass is so tall, it was only cut on Sunday.
The plants I got in the ground are looking really good. I had hoped to transplant some more seedlings and thin out some Hosta but they are out of hand for transplanting now.
We will leave early in the morning and I will have no time for the yard till next Thursday at the earliest. We are going to Plattsburgh NY way up close to the Canadian Border.
We have to come back for my tooth extraction on Wednesday and after my tooth is pulled I have to drive 60 miles to Portland for DH to have a hip injection.
I have no idea how I will be able to do my ST but my resistance bands go everywhere with me. Our son has a tread mill that helps so I can do some cardio. I just remembered I can take my Leslie Sansonne disc along with me, I love that disc, a Spark friend gave it to me I NEVER would have bought it myself.
I have printed some of Coach Nicole�s videos and put them in a binder, I do find it easier to follow along but this will give my brain a workout for sure.
I was doing one of her Butt Blasting videos, I like it. There was no good position for my hands with my carpal Tunnel issues, 50 years of sewing I guess it is a repetitive motion injury.
I had to make a major adjustment. I do some of the video with my Fit ball supporting most of my chest, my hands only have to balance me on the ball and then I can do those kick backs.
After all of this time I can finally do the grapevine to perfection with Leslie Sansonne, then I started to do the kick boxing video for the Spring challenge.
Coach Nicole has us punching our arms in unison. Now instead of tangling my feet I tangle my arms instead.
I push when I should be pulling and I hook when I should be jabbing.
I have a good compromise. I simply pretend I have an opponent and lash out as I feel fit to enable me to keep up. I know I am expending lots of energy. I never have been any good at dancing but when I do the other exercises I try really hard to stay in good form.
At first I found I was unable to balance too well. I used to be able to do my tree postures, then the vertigo thing happened but I kept going with my exercises.
The seated Bands are quite easy to do now. At first they too were a mighty challenge, now I love doing them.
Slowly but surely I find I can do it, and once I can do it I can really go for correct form.
When one is 68 years young there has to be a little latitude allowed don�t you agree?
My vertigo whilst I am on my feet is feeling much better, I no longer bounce of the walls.
I have what they call BENIGN-PAROXYSMAL-POSITIONAL -VERTIGO. (BPPV) is the quick way to say it.
This is the kind of Vertigo that makes the room go zooming by. Its like being on a merry- go- round but you stay still while everything else goes flying by, round and round, it even goes on when you close your eyes.
I have NEVER been able to go on a merry go round, perhaps that is why I find the sensation so objectionable.
I will be trying to keep up with my friends. Keeping up with family is first priority then food and exercise then Sparking is bringing up the rear.
Just for the next few days.
I will miss you more than you me, I will catch up. HUGS Pat in Maine.

Have a great trip!!! I know that you have just been wanting to see your son and his family for a long time. It sounds like you will be getting those exercises in. I used to do the cardio dance videos and Leslie Sansone walking videos on the Exercise Network on my cable channels. they took those off and I tried to do a cardio walking video with their trainer but she was so fast I could barely keep up. I was just glad no one was here to see my huffing and puffing and contorting myself like crazy!! I will have to try some of Coach Nicole's videos. Keep working it!!! I have an endo appointment this AM for a root canal!! Luckily I have a great endo!!! You and DH have the best trip ever!!! Have a Happy Mother's Day!!!

In general, employees in high paying positions enjoy a high level job satisfaction; however, there are a number of well-paid positions that make employees miserable. For example, the average salary for a senior product manager is $112,000, but their job satisfaction ratings puts them at the same level as employees who have a $76,864 salary. In other words, their level of job satisfaction is about 30 percent lower than it should be, based on their compensation. Interestingly enough, senior products managers are also hard to recruit, as shown by CareerBuilder's Supply & Demand Portal.
According to the portal's Hiring Indicator, only 35 percent of job positions are harder to fill than senior product manager positions.
So what can you do to attract, engage and retain employees in critical, high-paying positions with low levels of job satisfaction? The following tips can help you attract and retain these in-demand professionals and reduce turnover at your organization.
Increase compensation.
My work with my colleague Ronald Wolthoff shows that offering a higher compensation attracts more and better applicants. Compensation, however, does significantly contribute to job satisfaction – especially for men – so you should consider other ways to attract and retain great employees.
See: Five Great Perks for Retaining Your Employees
Design your job to engage employees.
A recent survey of employees across the country found that the main determinant of job satisfaction is not compensation but having an interesting job. Therefore, when recruiting for high-paying, low-satisfaction job titles, it is worth considering how you can structure the job to increase employee engagement. For example, increasing their level of autonomy and initiative may be a good idea since the ability to work independently is also an important determinant of job satisfaction.
See: Beyond Free Food: 15 Little Employee Perks That Go a Long Way
Improve management.
After interest in the job, the most important determinant of job satisfaction is good relationships with management. Therefore, a key to making an employee happy is to improve the quality of management. But what is a good manager? According to Google's research, a good manager…
- Is a good coach.
- Empowers the team and does not micromanage.
- Expresses interest in and concern for team members' success and personal well-being.
- Is productive and results-oriented.
- Is a good communicator—listens and shares information.
- Helps with career development.
- Has a clear vision and strategy for the team.
- Has key technical skills that help him or her advise the team.
Good managers are golden: they increase job satisfaction by making the job more interesting AND having better relationships with their team members.

What do you think? How do you deal with high-pay, low-job-satisfaction employees?

Trip to Belgium and Amsterdam with a 1 year old
Hello everyone- Thank you for your help. My husband will be attending a conference for work in Leuven Belgium in June of this year. My son (who will be 13 months at the time of travel) and I will be tagging along. His conference is Wed- Sun and we are planning to leave the US on Friday night and fly to Amsterdam where we will be from Sat- Wed. His conference begins late Wednesday afternoon so we will take the train to Leuven on Wednesday morning. I am looking for suggestions for a few things- 1- places to stay in Amsterdam, both specifically for hotels and also just generally as far as areas of the city. We will not be bringing a car seat so things we want to be in a location where everything can be accessed via foot or public transit- we are used to both as we live in a city at home and rarely drive. 2- Major highlights to see- Travelling with a one year old we have tempered our expectations and the goal is to see one major highlight each day. Already on the list is the Anne Frank Museum.
3- Day trips from Leuven as I am not sure there is enough there to see for four days. At that point it will be me and the baby alone. Any other tips would be appreciated. Pre baby I have travelled extensively in Europe and the US, and we have done a few US trips with the baby so far. The main issue will be stuff- we went on a trip to Disney last week and looked like a pack of traveling gypsys. Long gone were the days of 10 days in europe with a rolling carry on. Although for this trip I'd like to keep it to one rolling carry one and one larger checked suitcase as well as personal items- diaper bag and laptop for my husband. Thank you!

Like most people, I was stunned to hear about the Edward Snowden incident and PRISM. That whole story was like an upside-down Escher painting. Snowden eventually immigrated to one of the most totalitarian, repressive nations on the planet. Isn't that just the craziest thing?
The disclosure of federal eavesdropping was a revelation that certainly grabbed our attention. Just think: At this very moment my every keystroke is being monitored. And if I get a phone call the NSA might find out that Maria wants to get back together again, but just for tonight.
Seriously? I could give a damn about Big Brother. The government can read my mail for all I care. The Snowden affair was compelling news, yes, but the only people who should really be concerned are terrorists and drug dealers. Possibly the governor of Illinois.

Every regime has its own name for its secret police. Mussolini's OVRA carried out phone surveillance on government officials. Stalin's NKVD carried out large-scale purges, terror, and depopulation. Hitler's Gestapo went door-to-door ferreting out dissidents and other political "enemies" of the state. And in the U.S., it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation that does the dirty work of ensuring compliance, keeping tabs on potential dissidents, and punishing those who dare to challenge the status quo.
Whether the FBI is planting undercover agents in churches, synagogues, and mosques, is issuing fake emergency letters to gain access to Americans' phone records, is using intimidation tactics to silence Americans who are critical of the government, or is persuading impressionable individuals to plot acts of terror and then entrapping them, the overall impression of the nation's secret police force is that of a well-dressed thug, flexing its muscles and doing the boss' dirty work.
It's a far cry from the glamorized G-men depicted in Hollywood film noirs and spy thrillers. The government's henchmen have become the embodiment of how power, once acquired, can be so easily corrupted and abused.

It's one thing to be fed up with high gas prices, but Atlanta high school senior Bill Bridgers decided to do something about it.
He converted his diesel pickup truck to run almost exclusively on used vegetable oil, and for the past three weeks he has been driving across the country with his father and a friend, filling people in on alternative fuel possibilities.
Bridgers calls the project VegTheUSA.
Standing next to his truck on The Early Show plaza Friday, Bridgers told co-anchor Harry Smith that vegetable oil "is the precursor to biodiesel. This is pure, straight vegetable oil."
The technology to retrofit the truck is "all over the Internet," Bridgers says.
He has a huge filter "to get the mandarin chicken" and other food particles and impurities out of the oil, which is then heated to 180 degrees, and pumped into the truck's engine.
Bridgers says he has lots of friends in the restaurant business who give him their used oil, which is just a waste product to them.
Gasoline is only used when the truck is first turned on, then just before it's turned off.
So far Bridgers says he and his companions have driven 7,500 miles and spent just $5 on gas. The rest of the time, his truck's been purring on the veggie oil.
7,500 Miles On $5 In Gas, Veggie Oil

RED TAPE: Business advocates say owners sometimes prefer paying bribes to obeying regulations and taxes that are so complicated and burdensome that they would be out of business if they complied. The country's complex business tax laws require 390 hours a year to comply with and take 54.9 percent of profits. That put Ukraine 164th out of 189 countries in ease of paying taxes in a World Bank survey.BROKEN FINANCES: Ukraine's finances now are in such bad shape that it will have trouble paying its debts this year without outside help. With continuing deficits, it faces borrowing needs of between $7 billion and $10 billion this year. Its poor prospects mean it's unlikely to be able to borrow more on bond markets.

3 Consumer Stocks Hit 52-Week Highs
TheStreet) -- Shares of Nike (NKE - Get Report), Gap (GPS - Get Report) and Domino's Pizza (DPZ - Get Report) hit 52-week highs on Monday. Each of the stocks received a buy rating from TheStreet Ratings.NEW YORK (
Nike Nike is scheduled to report its third-quarter earnings on March 22. Analysts, on average, anticipate earnings of $1.61 a share on revenue of $5.81 billion. "Sportscan data and retailer commentary (we believe unit growth has continued with no resistance to price increases at retail) indicates that Nike's futures should remain strong, supported by: (1) price increases that began at retail in December that should continue to support NKE's futures thru 1H12, (2) continued strength in lightweight and technical Running led by Free and AirMax, (3) expected uptick in Basketball supported by the return of the NBA season, (4) continued strength in Performance Apparel supported by Nike Pro Combat and the women's Tempo Short, (5) clean Athletic retailer inventory levels, (6) continued Int'l strength led by China, Central/Eastern Europe, and Emerging Markets (with the 2012 London Olympics as a potential catalyst), and (6) new product innovations, including: Nike Fly-Knit, expansion of Lunar technology, and Nike+ (for Bball and Training)," Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts wrote in a report Monday. Shares of Nike hit a 52-week high Monday of $112.50. The stock's 52-week low of $69.43 was set on March 22, 2011. Nike has an estimated price-to-earnings ratio for next year of 19.2 times; the average for footwear companies is 14.29. For comparison, both Steve Madden (SHOO) and Crocs (CROX) have lower forward P/Es of 11.05 and 11.61, respectively. Sixteen of the 23 analysts who cover Nike rated it buy. Six analysts gave the stock a hold rating and one rated it sell. TheStreet Ratings gives Nike a A+ grade with a buy rating and $127.89 price target. The stock has risen 16.46% year to date.

Minnesota Timberwolves' first-round NBA Draft pick Zach LaVine
Q: Emotions that went through your mind when you were picked?
A: You know man, I've waited my whole life for this moment. It was just a rush of emotion that came through me, and I'm on cloud nine still, man. I'm ready. I put my head down and prayed to God, thank God, I just hugged my mom, and I couldn't believe this is happening. You think about this since you're a little kid, and you just can't believe it's actually happening. I'm just ready to get to Minnesota and do my best.
Q: Good impression the Wolves were high on you at No. 13?
A: You know, I know I had a really good workout with them. I talked to coach Flip Saunders and we had a great meeting. And then you know, I knew they were around my draft range, so I was hoping for the best. When my name was called, man, it was a jolt of energy through my body. It was amazing.
Q: Did the Wolves promise they'd draft you?
A: No, you see it on Twitter, it was on Twitter a lot, and you know, I didn't want to confirm or anything like that or believe it until my agent or someone, you know, really close to me, the GM or owner told me. But, I knew it was a good thing no matter what, so I'm just ecstatic that it actually did come true.
Q: Were you aware of the "Twitter storm" that you thought you were upset coming to Minnesota?
A: No man, I'm completely ecstatic. I couldn't be more happy. I'm a very emotional person, so I might've uttered something completely wrong, but I put my head down, thanked God, kissed my mom, kissed my dad, couldn't believe this was happening to me right now. I'm going into Minnesota full-fledged ready to become a Timberwolf.
Q: What do you think you can bring immediately with the team and how do you fit in the back court?
A: You know, it's going to be a privilege to be back there. Ricky Rubio at the point right now, I can see me running lanes and hopefully catching some alley-oops getting on the break, spreading the floor. Maybe playing some back-up point, if that's what Coach Saunders needs me to do. I'm just going to go in there and work my butt off to try and help you guys win.
Q: On answering answers in the car with his dad getting prepared for NBA draft questions
A: I always feel like, you know, my dad has prepared me for everything in life. I know this is a big day for him, and it's completely, I've been ready for this process for a long time. I'm on cloud nine now, just knowing my name got called by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I'm in the NBA.
Q: How long does this go back?
A: I was 6, 7, or 8 when my dad started giving me these little test interviews when we were riding in the car. So, it's crazy to think back on that.
Q: What's your focus this offseason?
A: I'll do whatever they need me to do. I'm 185 pounds right now. I might not be the strongest dude, but neither was Allen Iverson coming into the league. He was 6 foot, 165 pounds. If they can't touch you, that's a good thing. I'll use my speed to my advantage. I'm definitely going to get a lot stronger. I'm going to get in the weight room and do everything I need to do to help my body out. But, right now I pride myself on being one of the hardest workers, and I'm going to continue doing that.
Q: On declaring for the NBA Draft
A: I'm a very confident person. I knew what I was doing. I believe in my talents, and I thought I was ready for this journey. There are a lot of doubters out there that I've been proving wrong throughout this whole process. I had one of the better pre-drafts, and I'm making my dream become a reality. I don't think a lot of people can say much now.
Q: Can you still run a 10.9 100-meter dash?
A: I don't know about that. I know it's around there. I ran around a 4.5 40 and a sub-11 100 or something around there. I can get up.
Q: On scoring eight points in three NCAA Tournament games
A: You're not going to be perfect every game, and anything can happen in basketball. You know with us, we had such a great team and Coach Alford saw me coming off the bench. We had six potential pros on that team, so we were rolling. And if I scored zero points in all those games, and we won them, I would have been perfectly fine with that.
Q: On playing in the same city as high school teammate Josh Martin?
A: We went to high school together. We're really good friends. And it's crazy that we ended up in the same state again. I'm definitely going to see him a lot out there. I'm wishing him the best of luck out there in his freshman year at Minnesota.

Ultra Fractal Merge Mode, pt 2 by Ultra-FractalWatch
©2005-2016 Ultra-Fractal
Thank you!
I never thought to play with the opacity with specific merge modes I will now thanks for the tip
Interesting engineering)
Thanks, that's a great way of looking at it. In a way, it does have a lot of engineering aspects to it.
Man, I love reading through this stuff It makes me want to really try it out now
It's a great program that I can't say enough about. If you ever decide to throw your hat in the mix, you'll have plenty of help.
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm a great one for playing with the merge modes but for some reason it hasn't occured to me to play with the opacity. I shall from now on
Thanks, Sue. I'm sure there are a lot of people who think this is too basic, but it's great to hear that it helped someone out. I'm firmly convinced that without mastering the merge modes, you can only go so far and will never get the truly great images.

The catastrophic cost of nursing home care causes fear and uncertainty for older Americans. The issue is the most urgent for married couples, for whom a typical scenario might looks like this:Mom and dad's greatest fear is that they will outlive their money and become a burden upon their children. They have $300,000 in savings and retirement plans. They own a house worth $250,000, and get $15,000 in Social Security benefits. Nursing home care costs $198 per day on average for a semi-private room, and more than $400 per day in some areas. If either spouse enters a nursing home, the extra expense will quickly drain their finances and leave the at-home spouse unable to meet expenses.
