Over the past decade, there has been a technological revolution in the workplace as businesses have increasingly turned to computer technology the primary tool to communicate, conduct research, and store information. Also during this time, concern has grown among private sector employers that their computer resources may be abused by employees--either by accessing offensive material or jeopardizing the security of proprietary information--and may provide an easy entry point into a company's electronic systems by computer trespassers. As a result, companies have developed "computer conduct" policies and implement strategies to monitor their employees' use of e-mail, the Internet, and computer files. Federal and state laws and judicial decisions have generally given private sector companies wide discretion in their monitoring and review of employee computer transmissions. However, some legal experts believe that these laws should be more protective of employee privacy by limiting what aspects of employee computer use employers may monitor and how they may do so. Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, policymakers re-examined many privacy issues as they debated the USA PATRIOT Act, which expands the federal government's authority to monitor electronic communications and Internet activities. GAO reviewed 14 private sector companies' monitoring policies and found that all companies reviewed store their employees' electronic transactions: e-mail messages, information on Internet sites visited, and computer file activity. They collect this information to create duplicate or back-up files in case of system disruption; to manage computer resources such as system capacity to handle routine e-mail and Internet traffic; and to hold employees accountable for company policies. Representatives from all of the companies had policies that contained most of the elements experts agreed should be included in company computer-use polices. None of the companies GAO studied had changed any of their employee computer-use policies or monitoring practices after the September 11 attacks. Most companies did, however, report a growing concern about electronic intrusion into their computer systems from outside trespassers or viruses and had increased their vigilance by strengthening their surveillance of incoming electronic transmissions.

Article: Specific LPA receptor subtype mediation of LPA-induced hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes and involvement of Akt and NFκB signal pathways[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipid with diverse functions mediated via G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In view of the elevated levels of LPA in acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients we have conducted studies aimed at identifying specific LPA receptor subtypes and signaling events that may mediate its actions in hypertrophic remodeling. Experiments were carried out in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) exposed to LPA and in a rat MI model. In NRCMs, LPA-induced hypertrophic growth was completely abrogated by DGPP, an LPA1/LPA3 antagonist. The LPA3 agonist OMPT, but not the LPA2 agonist dodecylphosphate, promoted hypertrophy as examined by 3[H]-Leucine incorporation, ANF-luciferase expression and cell area. In in vivo experiments, LPA1, LPA2 and LPA3 mRNA levels as well as LPA1 and LPA3 protein levels increased together with left ventricular remodeling (LVRM) after MI. In addition, LPA stimulated the phosphorylation of Akt and p65 protein and activated NF-kappaB-luciferase expression. Inhibitors of PI3K (wortmannin), mTOR (rapamycin), and NF-kappaB (PDTC or SN50) effectively prevented LPA-induced 3[H]-Leucine incorporation and ANF-luciferase expression. Furthermore, ERK inhibitors (U0126 and PD98059) suppressed LPA-stimulated activation of NF-kappaB and p65 phosphorylation whereas wortmannin showed no effect on NF-kappaB activation. Our findings indicate that LPA3 and/or LPA1 mediate LPA-induced hypertrophy of NRCMs and that LPA1 and LPA3 may be involved in LVRM of MI rats. Moreover, Akt and NF-kappaB signaling pathways independently implicate in LPA-stimulated myocardial hypertrophic growth.

Re: canon SX255 HS not in database
Thanks for reporting this.
Are you referring to the Canon PowerShot IXUS 255 HS / ELPH 330 HS or another SX-series PowerShot? I can't find an example of an SX 255 anywhere.
The former isn't in our database and I'll have our reviewers take a look at that omission tomorrow.
Personally I don't understand Canon's PowerShot naming scheme either. There are just so many PowerShots...

Heroic El Dorado Sheriff's K9 recently passed away | Animal Lovers
It is with great regret that we must announce the passing of El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Canine "Asko". Asko passed away on March 20 from unexpected natural causes. Asko joined the Sheriff's Office in 2006 when he started his law enforcement training with his partner Deputy Jeffrey Tucker. Canines and their handlers become a very close team as they live together and work together in excess of forty hours per week.
Through his training with Deputy Tucker, Asko became certified to work patrol apprehension, article/evidence searches and narcotics detection. During his six years of service, Asko caught 17 violent criminals that required the use of force to apprehend them. Many of these suspects were hiding in buildings, hidden in attics, and hiding in the countryside. His mere presence at the scene assisted with hundreds of other arrests. Often times suspects surrendered simply because Asko had arrived on the scene. Asko's life was not only dedicated to apprehending criminals and protecting his partner but he was also dedicated to protecting and serving the citizens of our community in many different ways that we often don't realize.
On one occasion a wanted man threw a handgun from his vehicle in the Cameron Park area. It was very important to find the gun, as the area was highly populated and commonly walked by children. Deputies searched the area for an hour but could not find the gun. Asko arrived to help and found the gun in fifteen minutes, eliminating the possibility of the gun falling into the hands of a child or another criminal.
Asko was a true public servant, performing in numerous demonstrations for Red Ribbon Week, Bark in the Park, the Boy Scouts, local grade schools and local middle schools. Deputy Tucker will remain a member of the canine unit and will begin the arduous duty of finding a new partner. Canine Officers are responsible for purchasing their own partners and have established the El Dorado County Canine Association, PO Box 1721, Shingle Springs, CA 95682, to assist in this valuable endeavor.

West Brom v Villa: Excited Weimann eyes derby hero status
Andreas Weimann has set his sights on being the derby hero this evening, saying it would be the "best feeling ever" to score the winner against West Brom.
Ironically, Weimann has never faced the Baggies, having been ill for the Hawthorns encounter and on the bench for the B6 clash last time around.
Having been declared fit by Paul Lambert in his pre-match press conference, Weimann is now targeting a start - and a decisive goal.
He said: "I haven't played in a derby match against West Brom. I was ill for the away game last season and I was on the bench but didn't come on at home.
"In fact, my derby record consists of one minute at Wolves! It's something I am desperate to get involved in.
"I want to play in that electrifying atmosphere that a derby throws up.
"It would be the best feeling you could get to score the winner. Doing that in the derby would be amazing.
"I know from back home there is Rapid Vienna v Austria Vienna. I always used to go watch those games. They had different feelings for me as a fan.
"It means so much. Everyone involved is geared up for those derby games. It will be the same this evening.
"I expect a brilliant atmosphere and the fact it's under the floodlights will add to that.
"I got the feel for the atmosphere on the bench at Villa Park. Even then, you look around the stands and there are happy faces, sad faces, anxious faces.
"But it's a completely other level when you're out on the pitch contributing."
Weimann insists the players know all about the importance of these encounters for supporters.
He continued: "We all know fans live for this game. It means everything to them.
"The players want to win as much for the fans as for ourselves.
"I remember when I was a supporter. The next day, you'd see a fan from the other team and they'd say: 'We're better than you!'
"I had that when I was following Rapid. You want to be the one bragging about being the best team in the region."
Weimann is relishing the clash and thinks it will be tough against a well-oiled Baggies outfit.
He added: "We are looking forward to it. West Brom are a good team. They didn't start too well but they have come good over the past few weeks. It will be tough.
"But, then again, if you're top of the league and the other team are bottom of the league, it's still a hard, hard game. It will be tight, tense and hard-fought."

This resource contains an overview of cyberbullying and explains why it is so harmful to children and adolescents. It is also provides information on cyberbullying education, prevention and intervention. We also included a section for parents and school administrators. As a new father who is also expecting a little girl in September, I wanted to start doing some research on technology usage among children and figured this would be a great series for my website as well.

Dave Slusher critiques the critic
Dave Slusher actually spent part of his 'cast yesterday talking about my blog. I was floored; thanks, Dave!
One of the things Dave talked about was the name "podcasting." I was really hoping he would, and I'm really glad he did. I had a few more thoughts in response to Dave's comments:
- Dave made a point about the origin of the name. The thing is, this medium is about the future, and as such it doesn't make much difference where the term came from, as far as I can see. I was listening to a 'cast last night (the first post of Wizards of Technology), where they even called it iPod-casting. Grr.
- Dave also commented that he felt that much of the animosity against the term was representative of Apple-hatred. Obviously I can't speak for others (I didn't even know others had the same concerns when I voiced them), but I don't possess any Apple-hatred. I was a long-time Mac devotee up until about 8 years ago when I started working in a corporate (read: Windows) enviroment. I even learned AutoCAD on the Mac, which is saying something.
- Dave further mentioned that he thought that the current 'casting craze was fueled by the name and the 'casting wouldn't be where it was without it. I suspect that Dave doesn't mean that in as one-sided a manner as his oral comments might suggest. There is by no means a direct causal influence, and to believe otherwise is to engage in a fallacy (Cum Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc). I don't really think Dave believes that (or even necessarily that he actually said that), but that's what I heard.
- Finally, Dave says that "Podcasting" is the best term for the technology and that nothing will uproot it. I'm afraid he's right about that; I think it's a done deal – it's ingrained at this point and is unlikely to be changed. It doesn't help matters that none of the alternative terms are nearly as sexy as "podcasting" (I know "RSSAudio" rolls off the tounge like peanut butter). I agree that "podcasting" is a meme-itic and sexy term, positively perfect for a marketing effort. Still, it rankles me. I don't think I'm the one to come up with a term to beat "podcasting." But I still don't have to like it.
All of that said, I'll step off now. I've said my piece and I'll leave it at that.
In any case, Dave, thanks again for the plug! I appreciate it, and will strive to live up to it.

Ah, the first day of spring training. Major League Baseball pitchers and catchers end their vacations and report to their teams' spring camps to start early workout regimens. For baseball fans, it's a time of hope for the new baseball season. And if you're a New York Yankees fan like Jay-Z and Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James, you can't help but be very optimistic that the Bronx Bombers will repeat their championship run of last year. It seems like only yesterday Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were performing "Empire State of Mind" at the World Series in Yankee Stadium.
On Saturday night, during the Two Kings Dinner & Afterparty at the W Hotel in Dallas organized by Jay-Z and James, the b-baller gave his prediction for the Yankees' chances to win a 28th World Championship this season.
"I think so," LeBron said on the red carpet when asked if he thought the team helmed by Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez would be keeping the championship in New York this year. "With the loss of Johnny Damon, it may hurt us, and also Matsui, but I think the guys are gonna come back, be ready to play and we looking forward to spring training," he added.
The Yankees have made several roster alterations during the off-season, most notably choosing not to renew contracts of two vital cogs of their championship run, outfielder Johnny Damon and World Series MVP, designated hitter Hideki Matsui.
James and Jay-Z also share a love for America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys. And on Sunday, James got a chance to play in Cowboys Stadium during the NBA All-Star Game.
"I'm honored. To be able to be in Cowboy Stadium, one of the biggest stages, it's an honor for me," James said.
Before Saturday evening's festivities, Jay-Z and LeBron James were at a Dallas Boys and Girls Club donating scholarships to kids.
"Growing up where we grew up, we didn't have much as kids," James said, standing next to Jay. "[One of the reasons] why we're so close is we both always believed [that] if we ever became successful and had a chance to give back to the community — not just ours — we would."
Jay added, "There are not a lot of people that make it out of neighborhoods we made it out in the first place. And the people that do, we don't have many examples of a James that's still moving around the neighborhood. Any chance we get to come back and touch and inspire, we're always up for it.

Mississippi Burning (1988)
Plot Summary
Two FBI agents investigating the murder of civil rights workers during the 60s seek to breach the conspiracy of silence in a small Southern town where segregation divides black and white. The younger agent trained in FBI school runs up against the small town ways of his former Sheriff partner.- Written by Keith Loh <email@example.com>
After three Civil Rights workers, who were organizing a voter registry clinic, go missing in Mississippi's Jessup County, the FBI deputes Agents Rupert Anderson and Alan Ward to investigate. After the duo encounter hostility at the hands of the county police and other males, more agents are brought in. This leads to a media frenzy, with Mayor Tilman proclaiming openly that this community is an Anglo-Saxon democracy, an example of successful segregation that has been able to withstand the onslaught of integration, and total non-acceptance of Jews, Papists, Turks, Mongols, Orientals, Asians, and Negros. While differences crop up between investigative tactics of the two agents, the Ku Klux Klan, aided by the police, target the fearful African-Americans, brutally torturing them and setting their houses on fire. With the entire local community - both black and white - refusing to come forward with any information - the FBI must now consider using other methods to try and find out what really happened to the three workers.- Written by rAjOo (email@example.com)
In 1964, three civil rights workers from the North disappear in a small Mississippi town and the FBI are sent to investigate. Agent in charge Alan Ward does everything by the book. Agent Rupert Anderson however was a Sheriff in Mississippi before joining the FBI and understands the local culture. He's also prepared to bend the rules a bit if it will help in the investigation. They focus on the Sheriff's office and Deputy Clinton Pell in particular as they think he may be the weakest link in the conspiracy. As the investigation intensifies however, the KKK launch a series of attacks against the local African-American population. With no one on either side prepared to talk, Ward agrees to Anderson using his own unorthodox methods to learn what happened that night and who killed the three men.- Written by garykmcd
Two FBI agents with wildly different styles arrive in Mississippi to investigate the disappearance of some civil rights activists.- Written by Murray Chapman <email@example.com>

Tiny like its namesake, Napoleon Bakery in Annandale entices with a blend of Korean and French baked goods. Its refrigerated display cabinet showcases a variety of elaborate cakes, but regulars praise the basics, including the house-made packaged breads and cookies that line the two aisles.
Owner Chong Cho, who opened the bakery in 2005 after working in the business for two decades, bakes products that appeal to American and Asian palates alike.
Red and white bean products are meant to fill the void of traditional Korean pastries, while "Americans like fried things and madeleines," he says.
Napoleon's products are baked at lower temperatures to preserve flavors, and they aren't as sweet as American goodies. But they're just as satisfying. The light, flaky croissant, less buttery than the traditional French version, goes perfectly with coffee. So-called Ugly Corn is a raisin-studded take on a corn biscuit. Unlike traditional American sugar doughnuts, Napoleon's sugar-coated version has the dense feel and taste of funnel cake, with a thick filling of white bean paste.
Bing soo, Korea's whimsical take on the snow cone, comes in several varieties, including strawberry ice cream topped with cut fruit, and coffee ice cream atop coffee shaved ice. Topped with frosted flakes and Pocky biscuit sticks, the treats are fun to share with a companion at one of the bakery's few front tables after dinner.
Night owls will find much to appreciate about Napoleon Bakery. Cho keeps the shop open late, reasoning that "after dinner, people need breakfast for tomorrow morning. They come in and sit with coffee or our special Asian teas." Indeed, bubble tea is a sweet way to end a night out in Annandale.

Photos: Seattle, Portland Hit With Heavy Winter Weather
Posted by mleyba on 01/18/2012 2:34pm MDT tags: Photo
A widespread snowstorm walloped western Washington on Wednesday with the heaviest blow missing Seattle and hitting the Olympia area, causing accidents, closing schools and canceling flights at Sea-Tac Airport. Western Oregon woke up to rain and slush instead of significant snow accumulations on Wednesday, but a storm that moved in overnight left thousands without power. The winter weather brought 2 to 4 inches of snow to the region overnight, but temperatures warmed and it changed to rain, leaving a slushy mix on roads and trees. Portland General Electric said about 30,000 of its customers were without power early Wednesday, and the utility was working to restore service to them.

"Oostvoorne" Oostvoorne by Patje
Oostvoorne Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 21 photos
The unique variety in nature and landscape, the peace and quiet make Oostvoorne, which is located right next to mainport Rotterdam, a very special recreational district.
Enjoy the beaches and the unique nature in the woods and dunes of 'Voornes Duin'.
Challenges of the coast: from bathing beach to deep-sea diving
The lenght of the beach garantees pleasure for sportsmen and women whilst offering enough room for sun-seekers. The presence of sandbanks makes the beach ideal for children as there is no danger of strong currents.
During the past six years the north bank of the Oostvoornse Meer, which forms the border between the island Voorne and the Maasvlakte, has become a top location for deep-sea divers. The south-west bank has been special arranged for children and is provided with playground equipment.
In the thirteenth century, the first dunes emerged here, after which the creek estuaries developed into magnificent dune lakes, amidst a natural profusion of flora and fauna. Voorne's 'Burcht van Heren' also dates back to this time. Westvoorne is also a cultural attraction nowadays; no less than three private museums exhibit their unique collections.
It is always a pleasure to cycle, walk, horse-ride and simply enjoy oneself in the woods and dunes of Voorne. 'Voornes Duin' is one of the most important nature reserves in Western Europe. Over 60% of all Dutch species of birds breed in this rich and varied area. The spoonbills on the 'Quakjeswater' and the cormorant colony on the 'Breede Water' are favourite objects for observation. Tall mullein, loosestrife, willowherb and evening primrose, as well as many other species, provide the natural and unique flora of Voornes Duin.
Sometimes you will be lucky enough to suddenly find yourself eye to eye with one of the many animals which wander freely in this area: an Iceland pony or one of the many impressive dark brown to black Galloway oxen and cows that graze on the dunes.
Coast & watersports
On the Rockanje bathing beach, the stretch between the 1st and 2nd markers is ideal for a day along the coast. This beach is also ideal for families with children. The so-called Maasvlakte beach with more than 1600 parking places, located on the southern side of the Maasvlakte, is worth a special mention.
It is the ideal spot for surfers. And the high chain of dunes offers hang gliders and ultralight planes the perfect place to launch themselves into the blue. This is an excellent location for sports like parasailing, ultralight flying, scuba diving and sea kayaking.
Voorne is surrounded by water and offers all manners of water sports. There is a wide choice of windsurfing and diving, both on inland waters like the Brielse Maas and the Oostvoornse Meer as well on the Haringvliet and the open sea.

Destin-Nation Cambodia: Treating Wounds Outside the Temples
by AOL Travel Staff. Posted Jul 14th 2011 10:30 AM
Continue ReadingTourists come to Cambodia to see the temples at Angkor Wat. Yes, some people make it down to the beautiful coast or even out to the pristine islands in the Bay of Thailand, but thanks to a lack of infrastructure (and imagination) this country has remained a one trick pony.

Disaster Tourism
by Jerry Soverinsky. Posted Jan 24th 2011 01:32 PM
Continue ReadingSome may find it gruesome, but so-called disaster tourism is on the rise, giving travelers first-person access to the locations of the world's most horrific crimes, catastrophes and calamities. These sites offer insights into human tragedies and disasters that move far beyond what one can glean from a magazine feature or a cable television mini-series. While some sites are decades removed from their associated atrocities, for others the memory of human suffering has barely waned from the headlines.

DA seems fuller now than ever with fractal images making it all too easy to over-look delicate intricate hand-rendered work. A barrage of rich visuals can numb even the most sensitive of visual explores so when, as in this case, an artist uses similar graphic devices such as iteration it is vital to stop, look hard and treat it with the respect the time and thought gone in deserves. Bones become flint, enveloped in sea foam. Rising up to the crest of wave arching into a distance lost in space yet frozen in time. Fading to a fine spray evolving across the roof of the composition into a maelstrom on the verge of collapse, or is it a wall of cloud holding back the encroaching darkness of the erupting Earth? Sulphurous smoke lousy with fine ash billowing forth from the rendered ground, the glowing red hinting of the agony caused by the ripping of the flesh. I say flesh as we are then once again by the spine, individual vertebrae hissing like the Earth-Body is some great machine on the verge of mechanical failure under it's own strain. A chain reaction, on the cusp of critical mass like the balance our world endures constantly with the violent nuclear convection within and the cold embrace of an unfeeling Universe. And what such pain and collision of elements has brought; land, sea, sky and with them the promise of life, albeit brief, painful and full of questions. One thing can be relied upon; infinite variety, complexity and iteration. We all walk this beach. At first glance it may seem aimless, even pointless. At times cruel. It may go on forever without much sense of change, but look around and choose to see all these things for what they are! Wondrous and connected. Maybe then you may feel connected with it all too.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
2 out of 2 deviants thought this was fair.

"Bustin' Out," episode six of R.J. Cutler's breakthrough reality TV series American High, opens on 17-year-old Morgan Moss pointing a pistol at his mother's head and barking demands: "Say what a nice child I am on camera. Now." It's a chilling moment, despite the fact that the pistol in question fires only paintballs, and despite the knowledge (if one has followed the show at all sequentially) that the Moss family is a high-functioning team of caring individuals--especially when it comes to dealing with screwball Morgan.
Post-Columbine America has every right to be sensitive when the topic turns to teenagers. Sociologists inform us that the "generation gap"--the psychodemographic rift that was assigned a name in the mid-1960s--is wider than ever. Blame Sony PlayStation and Eminem and Maxim. Blame the presence of narcotics in our schoolyards. Blame, as former President Clinton did at last May's White House Conference on Teenagers, the fact that families don't sit down to dinner together anymore--at least not often enough to countervail the influence of toxic culture. Or that when they do sit down to dinner (according to a recent survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation), two-thirds of families with school-age children leave the television on.
This doesn't have to be a bad thing. This summer PBS is rebroadcasting American High in its entirety, giving teens, parents of teens and our largely teenophobic population a second chance to grapple with and maybe even understand one another better, through the potent (at least in this case) medium of documentary TV.
American High is an obsessive chronicle of the lives of fourteen upperclassmen, mostly seniors--jocks and band geeks, a pierced punk rocker, a couple of delinquents by default, no cheerleaders--at suburban Chicago's Highland Park High School. Executive producer Cutler chose Highland Park for its receptivity to his vision for the project, which included not only an entire academic year of on-site filming but an addition to the school's curriculum: A video-diary class taught by producer Jonathan Mednick. The 800 hours of self-reflexive footage shot by Mednick's chosen students, plus an additional 2,000 hours (documenting everything from earnest powwows in the girls' room to out-of-control keggers to senior prom) shot by Cutler and his crew, are the raw material for American High.
It's hard to imagine the blood, sweat and tears it must have taken to cut this quantity of tape into thirteen twenty-two-minute episodes. But Cutler managed it. Superbly. The end result is a multifarious collection of coming-into-adulthood stories that rub shoulders with one another and trip gamely over one another's limbs as they unfold side by side, week after week. Each story is, in and of itself, a vivid and affecting slice of life-on-the-verge. Shuffled together, they form a discursive epic of both the inner and outer struggle of the Misunderstood American Teen.
The video diary excerpts are, as intended, a revelation, a chance for Cutler's subjects to rage against their parents and the societal machine, wax philosophical or get up close and personal. Morgan breaks it down for us: "These are your teen years...you're supposed to go wild...have unprotected sex...go pick fights, stay out all night, look at the stars." Regarding that little thing called "life," Sarah, a doe-eyed redhead, deep in the thrall of a Turgenevesque first love, says, "It's this road we're all traveling on. I have no idea where my road is going to take me." (From the mouths of relative babes, this and other, similar platitudes are strangely moving.) Robby, the chronically good-natured lacrosse player, tells the story of when his buddy Brad (another featured student) came out to him: "His eyes were absolutely, totally lost.... He was like so scared. And I'm like, y'know what Brad? That's cool. I still love you."
A testament to Mednick's instruction, the diaries also often pack a whopping cinematographic punch. In one particularly effective tableau, Kiwi, Highland Park's champion field-goal kicker, records a moment of (literally) naked truth. Slumped in half-shadow, microphone taped to his bare chest, he describes a gut-deep fear of turning 18, brought on by missing a crucial post-touchdown point. Says Cutler of Mednick, "He never discussed content with them. What he discussed with them was form, formal expression, the expressionism of where you place the camera or what light does.... It's not like he said to Kaytee [a budding singer-songwriter, unlucky in love], 'Wrap yourself in red when you're talking about being heartbroken.'" Mednick's students learned their lessons well. The pictures prove it.
In contrast to the talk-to-the-camera nature of the diaries, Cutler and his crew are both everywhere at once and nowhere to be found, as they collect the Home Depot's worth of narrative nuts-and-bolts from which the framework of the series is constructed. Cutler learned his doc-chops from D.A. Pennebaker, one of the medium's old masters, as a producer on Pennebaker's Clinton campaign saga The War Room. Like Pennebaker's films, American High is firmly rooted in the tradition of cinéma vérité, in which the capture of spontaneous action is the prime directive, interpretive narration is eschewed and the presence of the filmmakers deliberately obscured.
One of rawest, realest stories Cutler documents is that of Pablo, the self-described "poetically inclined hooligan," a sweet, deep kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Over the course of many episodes, we watch Pablo confront the blunt economic realities of his broken home (one tragic scene shows him begging his estranged father for the change from their not-so-Happy Meals). In a midseries moment, Pablo, fresh from a viewing of Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, tells his mom that he's thinking about joining the Marines. It reads as a joke. Not long after, however, he appears at a recruitment office, aces the aptitude test and is told that his numbers qualify him for any job the corps has to offer. On the drive home, he comes to his senses: "I thought [the Marines] would be a great place to write poetry," he says. "If I went to war...I'd probably go AWOL." Case closed. But in the penultimate episode, after a vicious fight with Mom, he returns, grimly determined to muster up. "This is going to be my declaration of independence," he says. One breathes a sigh of relief when, after failing the drug screening, he's thrown back into the muddle of civilian life.
Later, Cutler proves that he is not entirely beholden to the principles of classic vérité. "We're working with people who are pioneers in this area," he says, "but we've all learned that rules are made to be broken." In the final episode, flouting the noninterference ethic of the genre, Kaytee (who speaks mostly disparagingly of her formidable musical talent) is spirited off to a professional recording studio. Headphones fitted snugly over her ears, a look of pure joy on her face, she lays down track after wax-worthy track as her parents watch, bewildered, behind soundproof glass. "The lovely thing is that you wouldn't normally do it," says Cutler, "and if you did do it, you wouldn't tell anybody about it. But maybe the truth is that in Kaytee's junior year of high school she met this group of people that were making a documentary series and it had this impact on her life.... It's not that they turned her into an artist. It's a much more symbiotic experience."
It's just this sort of reverent irreverence that makes watching American High such a pleasure. Cutler's love of his work, and of his teen subjects, is everywhere detectable. From the punk-pop theme song that blares, "We walk the halls of life/See the things that we wanna see/Be what we wanna be/Wherever I go I search for me," to the company credits that end each episode: "Actual Reality Pictures," splashed across the screen while a helium-altered voice squeals, "Hey man! Trust me, dude!"
On a more critical note, one could argue that Cutler's love has blinded him to some of the more unpleasant aspects of teen life. The brutal cliquishness of high school is barely addressed. And the oft-crushing tedium of classes disappears via a postproduction hat trick--the number of minutes devoted to student-teacher interactions can be counted on one hand. Hopped up on Cutler's distilled and purified Bildungsromane, older viewers might (as I was) be temporarily brainwashed into thinking that adolescence is something they'd jump at the opportunity to re-experience.
The series closer is a graduation double-episode in which art and life converge to offer up a grab bag of terrific moments. Prom queen Anna is held hostage and forced to listen to a ballad of reconciliation performed by her remote, chastity-fixated father, a gesture that backfires horribly. His treacly Stevie Wonder stylings leave her scrambling for the edge of the familial nest. Pablo, reduced to almost-tears when the graduation planners refuse to let him wear a Greco-Roman wreath in lieu of the standard-issue mortarboard, recovers quickly. "Next week is senior prank time," he announces, "and from the heart of hell I stab at thee!" Morgan, lacking Pablo's sense of timing, spends graduation eve in jail for vandalizing school property. Barred from the ceremony, his parents photograph him in cap and gown, holding his case number against his chest. And then there's Allie, battered survivor of the college application process and her parents' ugly divorce, whose last hurrah is easily the most symbolic. Having barely squeaked by grade-wise, she proudly displays her diploma for the camera. "Nobody can tell me I didn't damn graduate," she says. "I'm closing the chapter to high school, and I walk away, and then there's a new beginning." As she turns to make her exit, she runs headlong into a metal post.
American High ran into its own rude obstacle on its way into the big, bad world. The first four episodes, commissioned by Fox, ran last year during what Cutler describes as the network's "summer from hell." Airing opposite the CBS juggernaut of Survivor and Big Brother, American High--perhaps too real for the "reality TV" market, with its lack of hard-bitten contestants scrabbling after prize money and its non-escapist obsession with the high-stakes game of life itself--was quickly squashed. Much to Fox's credit, however, it paid for the remaining episodes and promised not to stand in Cutler's way if he found a new home for the show.
Enter PBS, which, according to Gerry Richman, VP of national production for Twin Cities Public Television, was thrilled to offer asylum to American High. TPT, the affiliate in charge of packaging the series, has done a bang-up job, holding town hall meetings at which Morgan and Kiwi have been special guests, and maintaining a website (www.pbs.org/americanhigh) that offers everything from cast photos (suitable for locker posting) to a detailed curriculum for Mednick's video-diary class. (The "station finder" link will take you to the website of your local public television station, where a schedule for summer reruns of American High, which started in mid-July, can be found.)
Teen viewership spiked dramatically for PBS when it premiered the series back in April, and the network hopes to build on this success by creating more smart, youth-friendly programming. An American High 2 is also in the works. Says Cutler, "We're hoping to continue into the second season with an inner-city school, and instantly the contrast will provide all kinds of answers." Answers to what Richman rightly calls the "monumental mystery" of high school. Answers that our country sorely needs.

David Bentley insists he'll put jokes behind him to make it at Blackburn
DAVID BENTLEY insists he can put all the jokes behind him to revive his career.
I was trying to be ambitious and I was wrong. It did not work out. It was a great place to work here.
Bentley, 28, joined Spurs from Rovers in 2008 in a £15m deal.
But it has all gone downhill since and his deal expires at the end of the season.
So he is desperate to start at Hull tonight after making his debut as a sub in the 1-0 FA Cup win at Arsenal.
He said: "It was all young people enjoying yourself and that is frowned upon. In the main I'm always fully fit and always was.
"I want to play and be successful. I want to make changes."
Bentley forced his way out of Ewood Park but regrets ditching the club.
He added: "I was trying to be ambitious and I was wrong. It did not work out. It was a great place to work here.
"I'm confident in my ability but getting out on the pitch was the problem. It's about me performing for the fans. If I do that, they will like me."

Iraqis Launch Legal Attack Against Blackwater
Private security firm Blackwater USA is being sued by family members and a survivor of a shooting incident last month in Baghdad that left 17 people dead.
Scott Horton, a professor at Columbia Law School, says the case will look at whether the contractors had good cause to fire their weapons.
Horton says the Iraqi families and survivors are suing Blackwater in U.S. court because contractors operating in Iraq have blanket immunity granted by the Coalition Provisional Authority. The immunity protects private security contractors from prosecution in Iraqi courts.
The Iraqis are asking for punitive damages, which could be a substantial amount, Horton says.
Horton talks to Alex Cohen about the lawsuit and legal precedents that could affect its outcome.

At the western mouth of the Nile Alexander the Great founded a great Greek city, a citadel of high culture under his successors the Ptolemies until their last representative Cleopatra succumbed to Rome. With its double harbour, this rich mercantile centre was second city of the empire, and the Jewish quarter contained a million Jews. Here the Greek version of the Hebrew scriptures was produced, and early in the first century ad Philo wrote his allegorical commentary and other writings in defence of Jewish monotheism and belief in providence. Alexandrian Jews suffered unpleasantnesses from the empire, but most of Philo's voluminous works survive copied by Christian scribes. The Jews of Alexandria were anxious not to be thought too liberal because many of them were well educated in Greek literature and interpreted Moses philosophically. This did not dispense them from literal observance of the Torah. Philo was hostile to Jews who so asserted freedom. Their synagogue at Jerusalem did not admire the less conservative views of Stephen (Acts 6: 9). The apostle Paul found a mission to Gentiles parallel to his own in the work of Apollos, an Alexandrian Jew familiar with his Bible. At Corinth one group looked more to Apollos than to Peter or Paul.
Second-century Christianity at Alexandria was not all by later standards orthodox. There were teachers such as Basilides who would soon seem to be deviant from the Irenaean rule of truth. The spirit of the Christians was to be open to speculations reaching out beyond simple faith. They wanted to explore a higher knowledge (gnosis), and this word came to be associated with a certain scorn towards naïve orthodoxy. Clement candidly described some writings by Basilides and Valentinus as pretentious nonsense (Strom. 2. 37. 1). He did not think naïve orthodoxy possible either.
Towards the end of the second century Titus Flavius Clemens settled at Alexandria after travels to sit at the feet of Christian teachers in various places. A well read and thoughtful person, he was strongly influenced by the contemporary (Middle) Platonism which provided his bridge towards Christianity, as had happened with Justin. At Alexandria he encountered a Christian named Pantaenus who had once taught Stoicism. Clement found him excellent, and called him a 'Sicilian bee' (the island was famous for honey). Together they shared a programme of instruction in Christian faith

TOP DRAWER; Watteau's Exquisite Red, Black and White Chalk Sketches Elevated the Art of Drawing and Gave It the Power to Match Paint EXHIBITIONS OF THE WEEK
Byline: Brian Sewell
WATTEAU: THE DRAWINGS The Royal Academy, W1 WATTEAU AND HIS CIRCLE Wallace Collection, W1
IHESITATE to write of Watteau without first establishing the English pronunciation of his name -- Wotto, as in motto, or Varto, as (more or less) in French? As, like Don Quixote's quixotic quixotry, an adjective and other English words were long ago derived from his name -- Watteauish and several terms for women's dress (as in the painting below) -- it seems sensible and unassuming to call Quixote Kwiksot (as we all did before pretentious Americans discovered him) and Watteau Wotto, unless the circumstances are academic or international.
Two exhibitions devoted to the lamentably short-lived Jean-Antoine Watteau -- in 1721 he died of tuberculosis at the age of 37 -- have opened in London, at the Wallace Collection and the Royal Academy. In this wellplanned coincidence they complement each other, but I am inclined to suggest that the order in which we see them is important, for at the Wallace we see something of the circumstances of the art market in Watteau's day and his response to it as a painter painting pictures to sell, while at the Academy he is presented only as a draughtsman working solely for himself and in a private state of mind, seeing, recording and hoarding images for self-instruction and re-use. In terms of invention the drawings preceded the paintings and logic suggests that we should inspect them first, but they are of such a wide range of subjects, and technically so inventive and extraordinary, that to have fresh in the mind's eye both the end to which Watteau put them and the background of his employment and patronage helps us to see the whole jigsaw before we enjoy the parts.
In its modest exhibition rooms in the basement, the Wallace pays homage to Jean de Jullienne, born in 1686, two years younger than Watteau but his much longer-lived (until 1766) and rich patron, dealer, publisher of posthumous engravings and the guardian of his reputation. It offers only a glimpse of his collection but in doing so demonstrates how swiftly a young man three centuries ago could accumulate paintings of museum standard before there were museums; the Louvre in Watteau's time was not a public gallery but he could have seen any number of masterpieces, true and false, in the houses of patrons and the stock-rooms of art dealers (this was true of London too). How false, in the case of Jullienne, is demonstrated by wretched paintings that even then were slipping in and out of the canon of genuine Rembrandts, and a landscape of frightful absurdity executed with all the subtlety of gros-point embroidery, thought by Jullienne to be by Rubens. How true is demonstrated by a big and handsome landscape by Salvator Rosa (called Salvatorosa in his inventory), and Caspar Netscher's Lacemaker with a quiet hint of Vermeer about it. The most important painting, however, borrowed from Edinburgh, is by Watteau himself, Fetes Venitiennes, of 1717-19 (it is rarely possible to date precisely anything by Watteau).
Of all the paintings in this combined exercise, Fetes Venitiennes is most relevant in the context of the drawings shown at the Academy, for in the handling of paint with very fine brushes it most closely resembles Watteau's technique as a draughtsman -- he is, indeed, drawing with fluid paint, the scintillating brushwork echoing all the devices and mannerisms of the chalks employed in his mature preparatory studies. With this painting in mind, many of the drawings in the Academy immediately demonstrate Watteau's purpose in making them; it is not that they were specifically used in this painting but that they formed a repertoire of generic images that he could either recall or turn to in the albums in which they were bound. The oriental figure on the left, for example -- identified by the curator as Watteau's friend, the painter Nicholas Vleughels, with whom he was living at the time -- reflects the drawings of Persian ambassadors and their servants made by Watteau in Paris in 1715, perhaps as long as four years earlier. …

OH MAN I forgot to submit this.......>,<...This was one of the last commissions I took before I stopped for a while and it was quite an interesting one. This character belongs to and she has a unique story to her "species". She has some sort of elemental powers so hence why the water is kind of "glowing" around her feet. Either way, I enjoyed working on this! :'D
props to the owner for making such a simple yet interesting design, i like how you took an otherwise monochrome atmosphere and gave it a clusterfuck of color... you shading is always eye candy, thanks for sharing.
That is one interesting looking species.
really lovely job on the coloring and the pose there
great work
great work
She scares me a little. Great work though.
Wow amazing work on the water! Great job
What a hot.
I can't thank you enough for taking my commission despite it being very last minute! You definitely did her justice!
I might take another one or two in the future if you open back up, it was great working with you!
