The Kiss in Art Whats in a Name ?
'The Kiss' has been a popular subject in art since the Romanticism of the late 1800s. It may just be a sign of affection in art or 'the kiss' may take on a different meaning and title. Ill discuss the controversy surrounding this social gesture.

Hawaii makes changes to teacher evaluation system
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) Hawaii's Department of Education is making changes to teacher evaluations that have generated criticism from educators.
Changes announced Thursday include allowing teachers rated "highly effective" to not have to repeat the evaluation.
Teacher evaluations were implemented after a contract dispute between the state and the Hawaii State Teachers Association over the issue. Hawaii has been praised for being one of only a few states with a teacher evaluation system to tie teachers' compensation to their performance.
But some educators complain the new system requires an overwhelming amount of work and that there hasn't been adequate training in implementing the evaluations.
The department says the changes are based on feedback from principals, teachers and union leaders.
Stevenson Middle School Principal Linell Dilwith says the changes will make the work more manageable.

Sweet, nutty, and exotic.
Crunch down on this brittle, made in small batches in California. It's exceptionally sweet and crisp, made from butter and sugar with a touch of vinegar and salt. The black sesame brittle has an usually nutty taste, and the unhulled sesame seeds give an incredible pop of texture to the finished candy. The pistachio vanilla version is perfect for any nut-lover. Sweetdragon uses high-quality Madagascar vanilla which cuts through the sugary sweetness and makes us want just one more bite…after one more bite...
Sourced from: Sweetdragon
Photography by James Ransom.
Shelf life is 90 days in packaging, at a cool room temperature. Avoid storing in heat. You can freeze the brittle, in which case shelf life is prolonged indefinitely.

The Yankees' camp is making sure to let the media know that they are under no urgency to acquire pitcher Jarrod Washburn, and if they do so, it will be on their terms. The Mariners are making sure to let the media know that they are under no urgency to deal Washburn, and if they...
It's too bad there's not a parallel universe where we can find out how all those unconsummated Mariners trade-deadline deals over the years would have played out.
You know, if Jamie Moyer had agreed to go to the Astros for a package of Houston prospects in 2005 instead of invoking his no-trade rights.
If Tigers owner Mike Ilitch hadn't nixed, at the last minute, an agreed-upon trade in 2000 that would have brought Juan Gonzalez to Seattle for Joel Pineiro.
If the Mariners had received their first choice from Houston in the 1998 Randy Johnson dump, pitcher Scott Elarton, instead of "settling" for Freddy Garcia.

If GM Woody Woodward had insisted to Boston's Dan Duquette that he would give up Derek Lowe OR Jason Varitek, but not both, for Heathcliff Slocumb in 1997.
Alas, we'll never know the outcome of those and dozens of other near-deals that are hashed out each July but never quite come to fruition, for any number of reasons.
The Mariners will be right in the thick of the action (or inaction) today as the 1 p.m. trade deadline is reached — or at least the deadline for making deals without needing waivers.
It's a fascinating dynamic in play: an interim general manager, who might not be in charge of Seattle's baseball operations in a few months, masterminding trade scenarios that could have vast ramifications for the organization's future.
And in the most prominent of the scenarios in play, the opposing GM is a possible candidate this winter to run the Mariners next year.
Lee Pelekoudas has too much integrity to go for the big splash that compromises the Mariners' future. And Brian Cashman has too much integrity to do anything but what he perceives as being in the best interests of the Yankees.
Pelekoudas has a delicate balance to maintain, with the club's overwhelming need to retool played against its equally compelling need to not get fleeced in the process.
You can take it to the bank that other teams are acting on the assumption that the Mariners, and Pelekoudas, are in desperation mode. They smell the potential to execute a rip-off, and who can blame them, based on the Mariners' recent track record on transactions?
The spin coming from the East Coast — much to the Mariners' irritation — is that Pelekoudas is driving too hard a bargain for two of the team's top trade chips, Jarrod Washburn and Raul Ibanez.
The spin, particularly in the case of Washburn, seems to be that the Mariners should be eternally grateful to have the Yankees willing to take Washburn's 2009 salary off their hands. How dare they have the audacity to ask for prospects, too?
What we have developing here is a classic stare down. The Yankees' camp is making sure to let the media know that they are under no urgency to acquire Washburn, and if they do so, it will be on their terms.
The Mariners are making sure to let the media know that they are under no urgency to deal Washburn, and if they do so, it will be on their terms.
The truth? Both teams are under some urgency to make this deal happen, and I predict it will, despite all the posturing that is going on. One thing I've learned from covering 20 or so trade deadlines is that the dirty work doesn't get done, in most cases, until the final hour. Or later. The Mariners traded Randy Johnson to Houston in 1998 as the clock struck midnight, back when the deadline was 12 at night.
The Yankees are in a fierce battle with the Rays and Red Sox — three teams going for two playoff spots, or maybe even just one, with the Twins and possibly the Tigers still in the wild-card hunt.
The Yankees can bank on the Rays succumbing to their inexperience and the Red Sox getting undermined by the Manny soap opera. But with a rotation that includes Sidney Ponson, Darrell Rasner and 39-year-old Mike Mussina, that's a big gamble.
They need a veteran pitcher, and right now, the revitalized Washburn looks like the best one out there. Cashman maintains the pitching status quo at his own peril.
Then there are the Mariners, who have tremendous motivation to shake things up in the midst of this nightmare season. To stand pat now, with a team heading toward 100 losses, would be unacceptable.
To have a team willing to take Washburn's $10 million salary for 2009 off the Mariners' hands has to be greatly appealing. But the Mariners also need a talent infusion, so it stands to reason they will hold out as long as they can for the best prospect they can.
In the end, I think there's room for compromise to get something done with the Yankees. Mariners ownership could make a big statement by eating some of Washburn's salary in order to secure a top-notch outfield prospect such as Melky Cabrera or Brett Gardner.
Some have asked recently why the Mariners would even want to trade Washburn, now that he seems to have discovered a changeup that has made him very effective during the past couple of months.
The truth is, the Mariners are almost certainly going to be in rebuilding mode next year with or without Washburn. Any salary relief and/or prospects can be used to hasten that process. Washburn has done them a major favor with his hot streak, because if he had continued pitching as he was earlier in the season, and past seasons, they would have been stuck with him.
Now Washburn has actually provided them some leverage to take into negotiations. Will Pelekoudas wield it with the sort of skill and cunning that eluded his predecessor in so many deals?
Disregard most of the speculation you've read in the past few days. About 12:58 p.m., it will all become clear.

This is our first stay at this campground. We have a 35' travel trailer with slides and they only have a dozen sites for overnight guests. Keep in mind, this park rather large and has a lot of sites with all of them being permanent. Out of those few overnight sites, our rig could only fit in a few of them. They have overflow sites near the front gate which is in field with no shade would fit our camper along with the five sites on top of the hill also with no shade. The sites near the pool are really for smaller rigs except for the last three sites on the end of the row but the problem is it's very tight trying to do a 3-point turn backing into those sites which are at an angle. We got site B22 ( FHU ) which is located at the top of the hill and it's shaded. It's shared with B21 and both are pull-thrus. The campground is set up on a hill so the main road is steep so be prepared for that. The campground is gated with card access so that's nice for late night access. We camped here for 8 nights and took advantage of the Sunday thru Thursday special that included 2 pool passes. The pool is awesome with a rope, diving board, zero entry for the little ones and a slide. The overall campground is well kept, clean and very quite in the upper part. The sites next to the pool will be noisy since they play music all day long and the general noise from the pool play. The pool has a snack bar with hot food at affordable prices. The staff were very friendly and easy to deal with. Overall, we plan to come back. - NC RV Travler
May 2015 - $28.00
Let me start by saying this appears to be a campground built beside a humongous pool. The campground is mostly permanent sites but there are about a dozen short stay sites. The pool has a slide and rope swing and is open to the public. Both the public and the campers have to pay to use it. The "A" sites back up to a nice small stream and have a view of a waterfall (the dam at the end of the lake). A5 through A10 are decent sized. The others are small sites. We stayed in site A6. It had the potential to be a nice site, but the very busy pool was just on the other side of the stream and they blast music all day long. There is also non-stop golf cart traffic. We were also under a poplar tree which dropped sap like crazy on the trailer and truck. The pool is only open between Memorial Day and Labor Day so if we ever go back it will be when the pool is closed (probably in the fall of the year). If you want an awesome pool and are willing to pay for it then this may be just the ticket for you though. This place is just too loud and wild for us. - Echelon73
Jun 2014 - $33.00
This is a family friendly campground with plenty of things to enjoy. Everyone was friendly and our kids especially enjoyed the large community pool. - creese

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK—Forever Resorts' Grand Canyon Lodge-North Rim has received an Environmental Achievement Award from the National Park Service for Environmental Stewardship at the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The award was conferred specifically for the Grand Canyon Lodge-North Rim's waste reduction program. In 2009, the lodge embarked on a program of daily hand sorting of all solid waste. In 2012 alone, it recycled nearly 55,000 pounds of cardboard, 3,600 pounds of paper, 10,000 pounds of metal, 40,000 pounds of glass and 18,000 pounds of plastic. In addition, 103,000 pounds of food waste was converted to a nutrient-rich liquid and safely discharged into the national park sewer system. Together, these amounts represent a 100 percent diversion of these waste streams.
NEW YORK—Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the flagship brand of Hilton Worldwide, announced the launch of Herb N' Kitchen, its new dining concept that infuses fresh, local gourmet food into an upscale restaurant and convenient culinary market. Now open inside New York Hilton Midtown, the largest hotel in Manhattan, the first Herb N' Kitchen offers locals and travelers healthy fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and the choice of restaurant dining at their leisure, meals packaged to take away or in-room delivery for hotel guests. With a shift in the way today's travelers dine, the quick service segment is moving to the forefront of the hotel experience. According to a recent report from food industry research group Technomic, 85 percent of casual dining consumers say they visit fast casual dining outlets at least once a month.
BLOOMINGTON, MINN.—The 500-room Radisson Blu Mall of America was green out of the gate when it opened in March this year just next to the bustling 520-store Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. A highly energy efficient building, typical of all new Radisson Blu properties, it is on its way to be the first hotel in Minnesota to achieve LEED certification. While the hotel is the second Radisson Blu in the United States, all future hotels will strive for LEED certification. "Why would we do it any other way?" says Ted Lorenzi, Senior Director of Technical Services, Americas, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. "Building in the most energy efficient and sustainable way possible just makes good business sense and keeps our guests comfortable and happy."
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.—Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort is changing its roof top landscape by adding six wind turbines to the 25-story all-suite resort located across from the Atlantic Ocean on AIA in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The 374-suite resort has been committed to saving energy since opening in 2007. Continuing the commitment of going above and beyond environmental regulations and voluntarily implementing hotel conservation programs, the hotel has begun installation of the six wind turbines that will help reduce energy consumption that will eventually provide a cost savings. "We are committed to implementing innovative programs and making continual improvements to our overall sustainability results each year," says Andreas Ioannou, general manager.
DETROIT—MGM Grand Detroit has completed the light-emitting diode (LED) lamp retrofit of its 61-acre parking garage. Cited as one of the nation's largest LED parking garage makeovers, the three-month installation boasts 3,117 LED lamps and will reduce the garage's annual energy use by 80 percent at the Four Diamond destination resort. "As a property fully committed to the fundamental principles of environmental stewardship, we are proud to complete the LED lamp installation and further minimize MGM Grand Detroit's energy consumption," said Steve Zanella, president and COO of MGM Grand Detroit. "Like many of our conservation initiatives, this renovation is a win-win for us and the environment."
COEUR D' ALENE, IDAHO—The 118-suite SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, opened on August 5. The SpringHill Suites Coeur d'Alene will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by CDB Hospitality, LLC of Spokane, Wash. Located two miles from downtown, 35 miles from Spokane International Airport and five minutes from Lake Coeur d'Alene, the hotel offers guests convenient access to Centennial Trail, the Spokane River, and Silverwood Theme Park. The SpringHill Suites Coeur d'Alene has been awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for its contributions in making the environment a healthier place by reducing waste and conserving energy and water.
DALLAS—NYLO Dallas South Side has achieved LEED Gold certification—one of the highest possible rankings from the U.S. Green Building Council. The hotel, which opened in August 2012, is the first NYLO property to achieve LEED certification, the first historic hotel in Dallas to achieve LEED Gold certification and one of only 69 LEED Gold certified hotels in the United States. "This was NYLO's first adaptive-reuse project, and it's in a landmarked historic building to boot—which meant our design team did even more creative problem-solving than usual," said Michael Mueller, NYLO Hotels' CEO. "We couldn't be happier or more proud of the LEED Gold certification and NYLO's continued leadership in green initiatives at all of the NYLO Hotel properties." NYLO Dallas South Side is housed in a 102-year-old former factory that sat vacant for more than 10 years.
ATLANTA—About a year ago, not long after starting as director of engineering at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta, Wes Shirley was overlooking the third floor terrace of the 439-room hotel during a rainstorm. He thought to himself, "What a waste. If only we could somehow harvest and reuse all that water we could really save some money." With the assistance of a plumber, the Director of Administration and Development at Southern Polytechnic University (who is an engineer), and some students at Southern Polytechnic University, Wes came up with a plan to harvest the rainwater that falls on the 32,000 square feet of third floor rooftop surface. For the students at Southern Polytechnic University, it was part of a class project to help come up with a design and plan for a rainwater harvesting system.
STAMFORD, CONN.—Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced that its "Different by Design" Aloft brand has doubled its presence in Tulsa, Okla., with the opening of Aloft Tulsa Downtown. The opening also marks the successful completion of the Aloft brand's second adaptive reuse project. The former City Hall was transformed into Aloft Tulsa Downtown by owner and developer TOCH, LLC. Managed by Presidian Hotels & Resorts, Aloft Tulsa Downtown offers 180 loft-like rooms and leading-edge technology. "Aloft Tulsa Downtown brings new life to a historic building by infusing it with the energy of the Aloft brand's urban design and buzzing social atmosphere," said Brian McGuinness, senior vice president, Specialty Select Brands for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. "Adaptive reuse projects like this one represent an important growth channel for the Aloft brand."
OQUNQUIT, MAINE—A year after installing one of Maine's largest solar thermal projects, The Cliff House Resort & Spa reports saving 20,000 gallons of propane, 82 percent more than originally projected. Owner Kathryn Weare anticipated saving 11,000 gallons of propane based on equipment specifications and is pleased with the nearly double first-year results. Located on a cliff abutting the Atlantic Ocean, the resort's solar panels productivity benefits from the reflective surface of the water. The installation comprising 2,100 tubes on 70 collectors was initially estimated to provide solar-heated water for the 32 guestrooms in Cliff Spa, the spa building along with the entire spa facility and common area heat. Now the solar collectors heat the spa building as well as the 104 guestrooms and kitchen facilities in the resort's original Cliffscape building. The energy created from the solar thermal system is equivalent to that required for generating hot water for about 50 households a year.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average set an all-time high four out of five days last week. In poker, that's roughly equivalent to being dealt a straight flush.
The economic news generally surpassed projections; Federal Reserve board members gave speeches that reaffirmed the central bank's accommodative stance; and on Thursday the Fed's "stress tests" certified nearly all the U.S. big banks as healthy. Investment-bank stocks, up 21% on the year, fell Friday, as their results weren't as good as expected. (More on that below.)
In the race to new highs, previous market fears took a back seat, whether the effect of federal-government spending cuts on the economy, or its unresolved debt and deficit problems, or the consumer's reaction to higher payroll taxes.
For this bull market to gain acceptance, the Standard & Poor's 500 index must take the baton from the 30-stock mega-cap Dow and confirm with a high of its own, in relatively short order. While a breather for the 2013 rally could be seen near term, the broader index, just 15 points away from its own high, is expected to race to a new high as well.
Last week, the Dow soared 2.2%, or 307 points, to 14,397.07. Friday's close completed a four-year odyssey nearly to the day from the market's closing low March 9, 2009. The Standard and Poor's 500 index jumped 2.2%, or 33 points, to 1551.18, shy of the all-time high of 1565. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.4%, or 75 points, to 3244.37.
Labor Department jobs data out Friday were salutary and better than expected. Nonfarm payrolls added 236,000 last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7% from 7.9%, the lowest since December 2008.
"Another day, another new high," quips Ryan Larson, head of equity trading for RBC Global Asset Management. The economic news, while improving, remains consistent with a modestly growing economy, he says.
Kurt Brunner, a portfolio manager with Swarthmore Group, concurs: "We're not ramping up to significant growth…[Friday's data are] just an affirmation of modest growth." Stocks were helped by Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen's remarks Monday, that the Fed intends "to leave accommodation until well into the recovery."
The market is "living and dying" by Fed statements, says Larson, and it's struggling with alternating comments from the hawkish and dovish camps inside the Fed. Investors wonder how long the accommodation can go on, he says. Lately, Fed statements in the main suggest the stimulus won't be retracted any time soon.
The next important signpost will be the Fed's review Thursday of bank requests for increases in dividends and share buybacks. Then there's a Fed board meeting March 19-20. If the S&P 500 hits its own high soon, call it a royal straight flush.
LAST THURSDAY, the Federal Reserve gave passing grades to 17 of the 18 largest U.S. banks in the annual exercise commonly known as the stress test. The financial institutions were subjected to various hypothetical economic downturns, including a severe recession with unemployment rising above 12%.
The results show the strength of the banking system and the recovery in its capital position since the disastrous 2008-2009 financial crisis, according to a report from Keefe Bruyette & Woods. Bank capital is at a 70-year high; the industry would still be well-capitalized under an extremely stressful scenario; and capital continues to build, the report said. All banks passed except Ally Financial, majority-owned by the government and not publicly traded.
In coming days and weeks, look for higher dividends and more share buybacks from some but not all the big banks. On Thursday, the Fed's decisions on bank capital plans, such as requests to increase dividends or share buybacks, will be revealed.

JPMorgan trades at 1.3 times its tangible book value of $38, compared with a historical low of 1.1.
Banks in general are well-capitalized and generating record earnings in what is a lousy business environment, he says, and with much higher capital requirements than were typical before the crisis. If interest rates go up—which is the way it's looking—net interest margins could widen even if the economy just trudges along the way it is, he adds. Terril thinks JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America shares could rise 40% to 50% over the next couple of years.
"What's JPMorgan going to do with all that capital it's generating?" he asks. It will find its way back to shareholders somehow, he answers.
This week, look for bank stocks to move on Fed approvals or disapprovals of dividend or buyback increases. Given that the banks were allowed to modify their requests immediately following the test results, it's expected they will be able to avoid outright rejections from the Fed.
The more important part of the exercise comes this week, says Jack DeGan, chief investment officer of Harbor Advisory. The Fed is going to be conservative in what they let the banks do, he adds. Bank of America, with the housing-related potential litigation risks hanging over it, for example, will probably not be allowed a significant dividend or buyback increase, he adds.
Another way to play the banks long term is the Troubled Asset Relief Program warrants issued by financial institutions during the crisis, about which this column wrote April 2, 2012. They can represent a good opportunity to invest in the potential rise of the underlying stock, says David Marcus, the CEO of Evermore Global Advisors.
For example, the JPMorgan warrant (JPM/WS), trading at $15.45, allows the holder to buy one share at the strike price of $42.42 before Oct. 28, 2018. The warrant is in the money if the shares top $57.87—the strike price plus the cost of the warrant—by then. In April 2012, these warrants traded at $13.38. "Will JPMorgan be above $57 by late 2018? Absolutely," says Marcus.
The arithmetic is similar for the other warrants, such as COF/WS for Capital One Financial COF 1.7502756339581036% Capital One Financial Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD73.83 1.27 1.7502756339581036% /Date(1464382936021-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2779175 AFTER HOURS USD73.83 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32116 P/E Ratio 10.7 Market Cap 37808270035.5817 Dividend Yield 2.16714072870107% Rev. per Employee 564119 More quote details and news » (COF) and BAC/WS/A for Bank of America. All warrants expire in either 2018 or 2019. Evermore owns all three.
Why not buy the underlying stock? Marcus points out that the lower-priced warrants tie up less capital and can produce a higher percentage return. The risk, unlike the stock, is that they can expire worthless if the stock doesn't rise enough. The trading is less liquid than the underlying stock.

Nevertheless, market expectations matter much more than absolute growth levels. The Seattle-based company's most recent quarter disillusioned investors accustomed to the strong growth of the past.

In the second half of the September-ended fiscal 2012, customers hesitated on purchasing during the fiscal-cliff negotiations. Even so, for the entire year sales rose 20% to $1.38 billion, while EPS increased 16% to $3.48. But that's down from 30% and 50% rises, respectively, in the previous year.
Things worsened in the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 31, when profits rose 6% to $69.5 million, or 88 cents a share, from $66.5 million, or 83 cents, in the year-ago quarter. The revenue rise was "just" 13% to $365.5 million. F5 said that service revenue jumped 28% but product sales only 4%, partly the result of lower federal-government sales. Cue the panic.
The doubts raised among investors have hurt the stock. At Friday's close of $94.01, the stock is off by a third from highs of nearly $140 last April. Still, over the long term, it's likely that more digital data will be created year after year, and data-traffic growth shows little sign of slowing.
A lot of that traffic will be shifting to the cloud, says Charlton Reynders, CEO of Reynders McVeigh Capital Management, which has been buying F5 shares.
If anything, with the cloud being utilized more and more by governments and all kinds of businesses and consumers, digital data usage and traffic seems likely to continue rising sharply, he avers. There might be some cyclical bumps along the way but demand for popular traffic-managing products like the ADCs will continue to grow nicely. Data security is becoming more important, not less.
F5 is a bigger company now than it was a few years ago, so growth will naturally slow some. Yet 15%-to-20% growth is plenty good, especially with the stock selling at a trailing price/earnings ratio of 26 times, significantly below its average of 36 times. At the same time, its return on equity and gross margins are higher than the historical medians. Moreover, F5 has about $15 per share in cash and marketable investments and no significant debt, Reynders notes.
The company does face stiff competition, but Cisco's plans to exit the ADC market and form a partnership with Citrix should be viewed as confirming F5's lead rather than a threat. It probably will be good for ADC pricing.
Short-term problems have pushed F5 stock to a point where long-term investors can take advantage. With its leading position in the ADC market and a shelf of new firewall and security-software products coming out, F5 stands to benefit the most as the amount of information sent across the Internet proliferates.

Track Your Smoking
Track Your Smoking
Topic Overview
Tracking your smoking can be helpful both while you prepare to quit and after you quit. Use it to record information about your smoking behaviour, such as:
- Your list of reasons to quit.
- Your smoking triggers, which are those times, places, and situations when you reach for a cigarette.
- Contact information for your support people.
Start tracking your smoking before your quit date, if possible. Make entries for at least 7 days (one full week). Record:
- The time, place, and situation (for example, after a meal or during a coffee break) for each cigarette you smoke.
- The level or degree of your urge to smoke and your feelings about not smoking. Describe the feelings and thoughts you have while smoking.
Take a look at your weeks' worth of notes, and identify when or where you will be most likely to relapse. Think about whether you can avoid these situations. If you cannot avoid them, make a plan of action that lists what you will do instead of smoking when you find yourself in those situations. Add this action plan to your tracker.
After your quit date, record:
- Each urge or craving for a cigarette and the time, place, and situation.
- The level or degree of your urge to smoke and your feelings about not smoking.
- Anything you do to help you get through the urge (for example, changing activities, breathing as though you are smoking, chewing on a straw).
Tracking doesn't have to be hard or complex. For example, you can make a chart with four columns and a row for each cigarette you smoke. Title the columns "Cigarette," "Time," "Place or situation," and "Level of need." Rate your level of need from 1 to 5, with 5 being the strongest urge to smoke.
Here's a sample of what this smoking tracker might look like for someone who is preparing to quit:
|Place or situation
|Level of need (1–5)
|In car, on way to work
|Outside work, 1st coffee break
If you prefer to track electronically, try a free stop-smoking app, such as the National Cancer Institute's QuitPal. These apps allow you to track your progress and share your successes on social-networking sites. They also let your friends and family record inspiring video messages that you can play when you are having a hard time with cravings or stress.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Locust Projects (a Knight Arts grantee) has come up with a neat idea for "art films & food," together with another Knight grantee, O Cinema. Starting next week and then periodically through November, films about art (not arty films) will be coupled with a meal from Harry's Pizzeria for the Locust Projects @ O series. The first one: Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry.
This is a great film to kick this series off, first screened here in Miami back during the Miami International Film Festival, also held at O Cinema. The Chinese artist is best known for his huge installations, such as "Sun Flowers" that covered the Tate Modern in 2010, and his various versions of "Forever Bicycles." And for his architectural forays, such as his collaboration with Herzog & de Meuron and the attention grabbing Beijing National Stadium, known the world over as the Bird's Nest after the Beijing Olympics. And for his social activism under the authoritarian regime of his homeland.
"Forever Bicycles" at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
The unapologetic Ai was trailed around by filmmaker Alison Klayman, who captured these various aspects of the artist's life for two years. For instance, he would later come to despise his association with the Olympics and the stadium. He would be openly critical of the country's response to the devastating Sichuan earthquake, especially about all the children who were killed. He's funny and serious, and never silent.
Well, until the Chinese government finally had enough and arrested Ai on vague tax evasion charges in 2011, and for several months nothing was heard from him. After he was released, he has been uncharacteristically quiet – somewhat – clearly a measure of his "parole." But as the title suggests, Never Sorry, it's doubtful this larger-than-life man will ever stop provoking. In one interesting commentary about his cats (there is quite a bit about these cats in the film), whom he has taught to open doors, he muses that unlike humans, they don't close them afterwards.
In October comes Wayne White's Beauty is Embarrassing, about the cartoonist behind such things as Pee Wee's Playhouse puppets and props. Then in November comes Portrait of Wally, a documentary about the great, ground-breaking Austrian artist Egon Schiele.
The Thursday-night Locust Projects @ O: Art Films & Food events cost $35, and RSVP is required to email@example.com or 305-576-8570. Subsequent screenings are regular price ($10.50).
Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry runs from Aug. 16-19 at O Cinema, 90 NW 29th St., Miami; 305-571-9970; www.o-cinema.org.

I'm trying to put together a simple mission with a few ships and an oil rig.
I go into the oil rig part of the mission editor and cant find one in the object placement lists.
Does anyone know where they are/how to place one?
Many thanks.

That would be pretty interesting actually. Sir Roger Moore's build could be all about using smarm, persuasion and smutty seduction to get through missions. He'd probably be up for voicing some of it, too, he loves a bit of publicity.
I would love to see something like Alpha Protocol attempted with the 007 license. It'd be perfect in setting up this concept of playing like any of the 007's, and kinda fitting in a Daniel Craig skill set build, or a Sean Connery skill set build, or Pierce Brosnan, etc.

TSX Down More Than 70 Pts After Two Days of 2014; Earnings Season May Kick Start Improvement
Canada's main stock market, the Toronto Stock Exchange, today added another 45 points in losses to the 27 points dropped Thursday as 2014 gets off to a disappointing start for investors on lower energy and raw materials stocks, largely owing to bad news out of China and on increased supply of oil. Two days of successive losses have taken a little bit of the shine off a market that gained 9.6% in 2013.
Most sectors were set to close lower as prices settled Friday, with Health Care, Info Tech and Industrials up - although the latter two could yet turn negative.
Today, a government survey showed that growth in China's services sector fell to four months low in December. This came a day after the release of poor China manufacturing data. Together, the data raises doubts about China increasing demand for commodities.
In the U.S., meanwhile, the Energy Information Administration reported that stockpiles of distillate fuel, including heating oil and diesel, rose 5 million barrels last week.
Market watchers will be hoping the start of earnings season in the U.S. and in Canada next week will help kick start an improvement. Reflecting that, dual listed Exfo (EXFO, EXF.TO) will be among the first to report on Wednesday.

HIV/AIDS In The Lives Of Gay And Bisexual Men In The United States
More than thirty years into the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and at a time when infections among gay and bisexual men are on the rise in the U.S., a new national survey of gay and bisexual men by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that though HIV/AIDS is named as the number one health issue facing their population, a majority are not personally concerned about becoming infected, and relatively few report having been tested recently. Only about a quarter know about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and fewer than half are aware that the current guidelines for people with HIV are to start antiretroviral (ARV) treatment as soon as they are diagnosed.Report Read More

New information regarding Microsoft's next-generation home console – codenamed Durango – surfaced on April 10 which suggest that recent rumors proposing that the Xbox 720 will require an always on connection to the internet are in fact false.
Likewise, details about backwards compatibility for the Next Xbox have come forth which hint at the possibility that Microsoft's next-generation home console will support backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 software, however, it will require a special add-on device.
On Wednesday, April 10, new information about Microsoft's Xbox 720 – Durango – came to light as VGLeaks reports that Microsoft will offer an add-on for the Xbox 720 to allow users to play their Xbox 360 games.
This add-on will be networked with the Xbox 720 – Durango – to allow for backwards compatibility to all Xbox 360 software – meaning XBLA, digital, and retail Xbox 360 games will be supported. It is said to be similar to the HD-DVD add-on Microsoft released for Xbox 360.
Additionally, the rumors of an always online requirement for Xbox 720 are apparently false. The system itself will always be online, but it will not be a requirement to play local content nor will it prevent people from playing used games.

City police warn of possible scamJuly 05,2013City police warn of possible scam
Rutland City Police are asking residents to report any unsolicited offers to perform driveway repairs.
On two occasions during the past week, two unidentified men have approached homeowners with offers to perform cheap repair to their driveways, police Sgt. Kevin Stevens said.
One lady said they offered to seal her driveway at $5 per square foot, Stevens said. But after they did the little bit of work she needed done they said she owed them $1,800.
Stevens said he didnt know the mens names or if they were using a company name. However, he said the truck they were driving bore out-of-state license plates. He also said it wasnt clear whether a crime had taken place since the residents hadnt paid for the repairs. But he said the incidents were suspicious and he asked anyone who has encountered the two men to contact city police at 773-1816.
