Massive iceberg heading towards open sea
NASA says a massive iceberg that broke away from a glacier in Antarctica is "large enough to warrant monitoring". No AudioPT0M0S 620 349
Washington: Scientists are monitoring a massive iceberg – one of the largest now in existence – that broke off from an Antarctic glacier and is heading into the open ocean.
NASA glaciologist Kelly Brunt said on Wednesday the iceberg covers about 660 square kilometres and is up to 500 metres thick. Known as B31, the iceberg separated from Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier last November, Dr Brunt added.
''It's one that's large enough that it warrants monitoring,'' Dr Brunt said, noting that US government organisations, including the National Ice Centre, keep an eye on dozens of icebergs at any given time.

The iceberg's location is not in an area heavily navigated by ships. ''There's not a lot of shipping traffic down there. We're not particularly concerned about shipping lanes. We know where all the big ones are,'' she said.
Scientists are especially interested in this iceberg not only because of its size but because it originated in an unexpected location, said Dr Brunt. ''It's like a large sheet cake floating through the Southern Ocean,'' she said.
The glacial crack that created the iceberg was first detected in 2011, according to Dr Brunt, a scientist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre and Morgan State University in Maryland.

Pine Island Glacier has been closely studied over the past two decades because it has been thinning and draining rapidly and may be an important contributor to sea level rise, scientists say.
They say the iceberg has floated across Pine Island Bay, a basin of the Amundsen Sea, and will likely be swept up soon in the swift currents of the Southern Ocean.

Food Bank "Lifesaver" Fundraiser Card Design
In order to promote awareness of the hunger epidemic that has overtaken the Monterey County, Full Steam teamed with the Food Bank to create Fundraiser cards.
The card features a black and white lifesaver-shaped illustration, which is made from grains of rice that represent the large volume of people that are in need of food. Although it is a simple design, the grains of rice add texture and dimension, and the minimal copy allows for a powerful message with no distractions.

Prized for its sweet, delicate flesh, Dungeness crab is a west coast specialty. It needs just a little dressing to make a terrific crab salad, allowing the wonderful crab flavor to shine through. Add tart-sweet ruby red grapefruit segments and you have a healthy, light first course or light meal thats perfect for the season.
Dungeness Crab Salad with Ruby Grapefruit – A Light, Quick Meal
Much to crab-lovers dismay, Dungeness season in the Pacific Northwest was delayed by a month this year. The usually abundant supply for the holidays has been sparse and is just starting to flow now. Today, I finally got my hands on fresh Dungeness crab at Santa Monica Seafood market.
Wanting a light dinner, I tossed the cooked and shelled Dungeness crab with a little mayonnaise, a little citrus juice, and seasoned with salt and pepper. That's all. When the crab is this good, you don't want to over-dress it and mask the sweet fresh flavor. A note on the mayo – I use Vegenaise for it's light, clean flavor. You can find it in the refrigerated section of better grocers.
How to Segment Grapefruit
Ruby Red grapefruit segments are a nice counterpart to the crab. They add their own tart-sweet flavor and beautiful deep pink color to the plate. The easiest way for most people is to simply cut the grapefruit in half and use a sharp paring knife to cut around each individual segment. Pop the semgents out and remove them fruit, reserve the juice.
Another way is called "to supreme" where you trim off the top and bottom of the citrus and sit it flat, then cut off all of the skin and white pith. Then with a sharp paring knife, cut each segment out over a bowl to catch the juices. Do what works best for you.
Dungeness Crab
Buying already cooked and shelled crab is a lot easier and less messy than buying whole crabs. You may pay more for someone else doing the messy labor. Some markets will shell cooked crab for you. Ask at the seafood counter. Many markets ship Dungeness crab, like this counter at Pike Place Market in Seattle where we visited this year.
For the salad, you'll need 4-5 ounces (113-142 grams) of cooked crab per person. If you make a smaller portion, this works as a nice first course. If you want to serve it as a light meal, use a little more crab. Add your greens, grapefruit and maybe a nice whole wheat roll or garlic toast and enjoy.
If you can find Dungeness crab, this salad would be a delight to serve New Year's Day with a glass of chilled, crisp Champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate the start of a New Year.
Interesting Links:
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch report on Dungeness Crab lists it as a "best choice" in terms of its sustainability rating.

Ashton Kutcher Fills Charlie Sheen Void on 'Two and a Half Men'
Television's most popular comedy "Two and Half Men" will return to air this fall with actor Ashton Kutcher filling the void left by Charlie Sheen, the companies behind the show said on Friday.
CBS Corp., which airs the show, and Warner Bros., the Time Warner Inc. unit that makes it, said production of the ninth season would begin this summer, with Mr. Kutcher taking a new starring role in the show.
The announcement, confirming reports from Thursday night, removes a big question mark that has hovered over the hit show since Mr. Sheen was fired in early March. Both companies have been working since then to save the profitable program.
Mr. Kutcher will not directly replace Mr. Sheen. Instead, Chuck Lorre, the show's co-creator, has been working on plans that would add a new character to the show, rather than recasting the role that has been played by Mr. Sheen, people familiar with the matter said earlier this week.
"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people," Mr. Kutcher said in a statement accompanying the companies' announcement.
Mr. Kutcher, who is married to actress Demi Moore, has a background in sitcoms, appearing on "That '70s Show," on News Corp.'s Fox Broadcasting, until it ended in 2006. He also produced TV shows including MTV's prank program "Punk'd." An attempt to break into movies has had mixed success, including a string of romantic comedies. An avid user of Twitter, he was named one of Time magazine's most influential people in 2010.
Time had been running out to find an answer to the fate of "Men."
CBS is slated Wednesday to unveil its fall schedule to advertisers at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, as part of a weeklong series of glitzy presentations that kicks off the yearly "upfront" advance-sales market for TV commercials.
"It's an important show to us," CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves acknowledged in a call to discuss quarterly results last week. But he added that he believes his network is not dependent on any one program.
So far this TV season, CBS has averaged 11.7 million prime-time viewers, the most of any U.S. network, according to Nielsen Co. Its average is down 1.4% from the same period a year ago, a shallower decline than any of the four biggest English-language networks.
But "Men" has been a big part of building that success. The network anchors its Monday-night lineup with the program, and has used it to launch two other successful comedies. One of those shows, Mr. Lorre's "The Big Bang Theory," became so popular that CBS has used it this season to open a new comedy block on Thursday nights.
It is also a big revenue-generator. Last fall, CBS sold 30-second commercials in new "Men" episodes for over $200,000, according to estimates compiled by Nielsen Co., making it one of the priciest programs on television.
For its part, Warner Bros. has brought in roughly $1 billion in license fees for the program since the show's debut in 2003, according to estimates from media research firm Screen Digest, and has lucrative deals in place to sell reruns for the coming TV season, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Mr. Kutcher's announcement comes after talks with several potential stars. Earlier this week, British actor Hugh Grant had also been close to a deal for a role, but those talks fell apart, people familiar with the talks said at the time.
Mr. Kutcher will be paid around $1 million per episode to appear on the show, some people briefed on the deal said, while another person briefed on the deal said the amount would be much lower. It is unclear whether those figures include any share in the back-end profits from reruns of the program.
Mr. Sheen earned about $1.2 million in base salary for "Men," although his share of back-end receipts brought his take up closer to $2 million per episode, according to people familiar with the matter.

College Hockey:Huskies Sweep Michigan Tech
Hendricks Gets Hat Trick
ST. CLOUD, MINN. — St. Cloud State (4-0-0) beat Michigan Tech (2-2-0) 7-3 at home Saturday night, earning a weekend sweep and giving the Huskies their best-ever start in Division I play.
SCSU sophomore Matt Hendricks earned his first-ever collegiate hat trick in the contest. Hendricks notched one goal in the second period and added two in the third to help the Huskies bring home the win.
St. Cloud jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first with a goal by Ryan Malone followed by another SCSU tally in the second period by Peter Szabo, his first collegiate goal.

St. Cloud's Nate DiCasmirro followed with a power-play goal at 14:11 of the second, which held up to be the game winner, and the second period ended with the Huskies leading 4-1.
In the third period, Chris Durno's goal for Michigan Tech at 6:02 narrowed the Husky margin to 4-2, but Hendricks' second goal at 7:46 quickly made it a 5-2 contest.
At 10:21, Mark Hartigan notched his 98th career point to give St. Cloud a 6-2 lead, and two minutes later Hendricks completed his hat trick with a power-play goal, making it 7-2 St. Cloud.
Jaron Doetzel had Michigan Tech's final goal at 15:05.
The Huskies outshot MTU 31-27 and were 5-for-9 on the power play, while Tech went 0-for-5.

A Portland resident, Galarneau earned a degree in physics at the University and served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. His interests at the University of Portland include the engineering and science programs and the Mini Baja Project. He often attends University reunions and events and is involved with the local Catholic radio station KBVM.
The library renovation and rebuilding project began in May 2012 and is expected to cost an estimated $12.5 million. Designs call for a new, modern library on the basic root structure of the old. The library was closed during the 2012-2013 academic year, and is set to reopen August 2013. Library services were offered during the interim year.
The renovated library will help facilitate new tools and resources for the University's students. While maintaining a similar infrastructure, many aspects of the library will change from the renovation. The new library entrance will face the Academic Quad and will be open for students 24 hours a day.
The Galarneau gift is part of the University's RISE Campaign, which was announced in December 2010 and seeks to raise $175 million by 2014. The RISE Campaign, which has raised more than $158 million to date, is one of the largest development campaigns ever for a Pacific Northwest private college or university.
The campaign's goals are divided into four major themes, each with funding targets: (1) Pursuing academic excellence and faculty funding – $70 million; (2) Providing access for all students and direct assistance – $45 million; (3) Developing faith and leadership – $10 million; and (4) Enriching the campus community and physical resources – $50 million.

, designed by Gresham, Smith & Partners. Deicer runoff is passed through a bed of granular activated carbon, suspending and mixing the media. This allows microorganisms to grow on the entire outer surface of the carbon, which absorb the organic compounds from the deicer fluid and break them down. They convert the effluent to water, carbon dioxide, and methane, which then flow into a separator where gravity forces denser solids to the bottom, and lighter solids and water migrate to the top. The water is clarified and discharged.
After treatment, the system discharges the treated effluent to the Columbia River or to the sanitary system in compliance with permit requirements. On average, the new system will reduce discharge to the Columbia Slough by 89% and meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements.
The entire process - storage, conveyance, treatment, and discharge - is remotely monitored using a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Specialized instruments monitor biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) to identify chemical concentration, flow rates, and permit limits. This real-time monitoring and automation helps plant operators determine and control the options for water storage, treatment, and release.

What is the most important information I should know about insulin regular (Humulin R, Novolin R, Novolin R Innolet, Novolin R PenFill, ReliOn/Novolin R)?
Take care not to let your blood sugar get too low. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can occur if you skip a meal, exercise too long, drink alcohol, or are under stress. Symptoms include headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating. Carry hard candy or glucose tablets with you in case you have low blood sugar. Other sugar sources include orange juice and milk. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency.
Also watch for signs of blood sugar that is too high (hyperglycemia). These symptoms include increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need to adjust your insulin dose.
Never share an injection pen or cartridge with another person. Sharing injection pens or cartridges can allow disease such as hepatitis or HIV to pass from one person to another.
Insulin is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, foot care, eye care, dental care, and testing your blood sugar. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Changing any of these factors can affect your blood sugar levels.
Do not change the brand of insulin or syringe you are using without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Some brands of insulin regular and syringes are interchangeable, while others are not. Your doctor and/or pharmacist know which brands can be substituted for one another.

Behind the scenes tours will focus on history, anecdotes and the new outdoor chandelier as well as the new gateways and neighborhood improvements
Saturday, May 3, 2014 will be the first Saturday free PlayhouseSquare Theater Tours that will allow guests to view the new world's largest outdoor chandelier. The tours begin in the State Theatre Lobby at 10:00 a.m. and will leave from that location at fifteen minute intervals up until 11:30 a.m. Following the tours, guests will be encouraged to tour the neighborhood of PlayhouseSquare to see the new GE Chandelier, the four new gateways and new theater signage.
For anyone who has taken the tours in the past, it is a real treat to see what is "behind the scenes" of the second largest theater complex in the country. The tours include fascinating facts and anecdotes from the 90 year history as well as a look at the architecture that supports the stage works. Bring your good walking shoes and be prepared to take a two hour hike back in history.
PlayhouseSquare, with its 10 performing spaces, is famous not only for being the largest performing arts center outside New York, but as "the largest theater restoration project in the world." Its State Theatre Lobby is famous in art circles as the home of four murals by famous American modernist James Daugherty (who died in 1974 at 84). The murals are the last Daugherty works that remain in the original location in which they were painted. In addition to these descriptions, PlayhouseSquare is now home to the largest outdoor chandelier in the world, in accordance with the Guinness Book of World Records.
There are no reservations required for individuals but groups of 10 or more are asked to call ahead at (216) 640-8531. If you are interested in private tours for your company, social organization or high school reunion group you can arrange tours for other days and times by calling the same number. The tours are conducted by the famed PlayhouseSquare Red Coats volunteers who will be happy to tell you about their organization and how you can join.
Upcoming Summer Tour Schedule
The free theater tours of the summer are scheduled for Saturdays on June 7, July 12 (delayed a week for the Independence Day holiday) and Aug. 2.

N.J. Adds Nearly 18,000 New Jobs
New Jersey added 17,600 jobs in May, a bump in employment championed by Republican Gov. Chris Christie Thursday as he seeks to show the state's economy is on the rebound.
The job growth accounted for 25% of all the jobs created in the nation last month, Christie said during a press conference announcing the job figures derived from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"We are getting back on track. People are going back to work," Christie said. "To keep moving forward, we can't change course now."
Still, New Jersey's unemployment increased slightly, from 9.1% in April to 9.2% in May. The state Department of Labor and Workforce Development attributed the increase to job seekers returning to the labor market to look for work.
The job numbers are good news for Christie, who has pushed hard to pass a balanced budget by the end of the month that includes an income tax cut. New Jersey's tax collection estimates have fallen by hundreds of millions of dollars since the budget proposal was announced earlier in January, casting doubts on whether the state can afford it.
Democrats—who hold the majority in the Assembly and the Senate—have opted to advance a property tax credit proposal, though the Assembly's plan includes a so-called millionaire's tax. Christie said he would veto any tax increase.
"Folks down the hall are dithering right now. It's simply wrong," said Christie, referring to Democrats meeting in the Statehouse Thursday. "They don't want to cut taxes because they only know how to raise taxes."
Democrats are expected to discuss the competing plans during closed-door caucus meetings in Trenton Thursday.
According to the jobs report, the biggest bump in employment in New Jersey came from the leisure sector, adding 9,900 jobs. The state attributed part of this boost to the opening of the new Revel casino in Atlantic City.
Other top gains came from trade, business services, education and health care. The state also added 4,700 public sector jobs.
Still, the state lost 4,800 jobs in the finance sector, which tend to be better paying than leisure jobs. New Jersey also shed 3,900 in construction and 1,400 in manufacturing.
The job figures were the largest increases in seven years, according to Christie.

As we wade into what is hopefully the feeding frenzy of the ecommerce holiday season, we should take a moment to consider bidding strategies.
We've written extensively over the years about the importance of anticipating seasonal changes in user behavior, and of looking at that from the perspective of first touch, rather than last touch attribution. It's worth noting, though, that holiday season often combines both changes in consumer behavior (higher conversion rates, often lower AOV, usually lower lifetime values of new customers acquired), AND promotional events that both impact user behavior and change the underlying economics of search.
Today, the focus is how we think about bidding during a promotional event in general.
Promotions affect paid search in a number of different ways:
- Promotional Ad Copy:
- Increases Click Through Rate, improving QS and bringing in some combination of more traffic and lower CPCs
- Can pull in lower quality bargain hunting traffic that converts less well than average
- Promotional Deals on the Site:
- Increase conversion rates. Demand elasticity suggests that the same group of people will be more likely to buy when prices fall.
- Impacts AOV. Can increase the shopping basket size or decrease it. Your mileage will vary based on vertical and type of promotion.
- Lowers margin per sale dollar. Whether the AOV goes up or down, the marketing income per dollar of sale is reduced.
This combination of factors that can move the needle in either direction may mean that the smart marketer might either bid up or down, depending on how the anticipated values shake out.
Let's throw out the algebra here for clarity:
BVPC = Base Value Per Click. The anticipated value per click not counting the promotion
CRD = Conversion Rate Delta. How much and in what direction will the conversion rate change because of the promo?
AOVD = Average Order Value Delta. If AOV is measured in sales dollars (rather than margin), then we also need the next factor, MPSDD
MPSDD = Margin Per Sales Dollar Delta.
PVPC = Promotional Value Per Click
It probably goes without saying, but just in case:
Combining influences is a multiplicative effect, not additive.
If we imagine a scenario in which the anticipated conversion rate bump is 50%, the expected AOV hit is negative 10% and the expected margin per sales dollar hit is 20% then...
This is the WRONG way to combine those effects:
This is the RIGHT way to combine those effects:
It's also not hard to argue that a 10% off sale that cuts the MPSDD by 20% (assuming a 50% gross margin) isn't likely to lift conversion rates by 50%. If we pencil in a 20% conversion rate bump we see that the PVPC drops 14% as a result of the promotion.
Does that mean we should bid 14% less in the case above?
That's a harder question. If we want the advertising cost to margin ratio to stay fixed the answer might be yes. {Sidebar: While it's true that we put dollars in the bank, not percentages, few advertisers I know can meaningfully move the margin ratio negatively and increase profits because they're already pretty close to the bone in profitability.}
One might even argue that you should reduce bids more than that because the lifetime value of the incremental customers is probably lower than average.
But profitability isn't always the goal. Creating buzz, driving the top line, ginning up brand awareness may be part of the objective of the promotion, and sometimes margin rates are deceiving. At the end of a season unloading inventory at a "loss" is often more profitable than the alternative. When inventory is perishable (hotels, tickets, food) insisting on profitability can be horrendously unprofitable. If the inventory is a sunk cost, any revenue is better than no revenue.
- Remember that promotions affect not only the AOV but also the margin per dollar of sale.
- Consider whether the goal of the promotion is to drive more profits, drive top line sales, unload inventory, or some combination of the above.
- Use historical performance data to anticipate these influences as best you can.
Have a terrific Q4 folks!

I have Windows XP Prof installed on a Truecrypt protected parition (using TrueCrypt boot authentication). This is the only partition on that drive.
I'm about to get a new harddrive and need to migrate my Windows XP installation to the new drive. To make things even more tricky, the new drive (120GB) is smaller than the old drive (and partition, 160GB), but big enough to easily hold the used parts of the old partition.
Ideally, this is done with as little fuss as possible, ie cloning and shrinking the partition and boot info with some tool, but I'm open to solutions which involve "Re-install Windows on the new drive then use software XXX to migrate all installed drivers / programs / data to the new installation" if necessary.

Vo Trong Nghia's 'Stacking Green' House is an Urban Oasis Bookended With Planter...
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- Stacking Green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeA busy and crammed Saigon neighborhood was recently given the gift of green respite in the form of a home with a facade made of stacked planters. Named "Stacking Green", the small 'tube house' hidden behind a garden was designed by Vo Trong Nghiafor a couple and a parent. The home is bookended with plants, features a green roof, and has a large opening in the core to allow air through - these measures make the space a low-energy escape from the urban busyness just a few meters away.1
- Stacking green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeMeasuring only 4 meters wide by 20 meters deep, the Vertical Green home has a layered program that is kept as open as possible to make the space feel less cramped.2
- Stacking green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeThe concrete planters, stacked 25 to 40 cm above each other (depending on the plant species) are predominant from anywhere in the home.3
- Stacking green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeThe planters are fed water by a built-in drip irrigation system, making maintenance a breeze.4
- Stacking Green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeSpeaking of breezes, the planters also act as a filter from the street, helping to reduce dust from incoming air.5
- Stacking green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeA large skylight in the core of the home opens to exhaust the stale indoor air and promote welcome cross breezes in the muggy climate.6
- Stacking green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeA large opening on the lower floor mirroring the size of the skylight adds low-impact illumination in the public area.7
- Stacking green Vo Trong Nghia DaisukeStacked four floors high, the home is both intimate and private for a difficult lot.8

Many women over 40 experience some degree of brain lock, such as forgetting why we went upstairs or whom we were just about to phone. And though we may joke about it, we can't help but wonder if these momentary mental glitches actually mean something dire—maybe early signs of age-related memory loss? And if so, is there anything we can do to keep them from getting worse?
For answers, More turned to John Medina, PhD, director of the Brain Center for Applied Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University, affiliate professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington in Seattle, and author of Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School.
Q | Do all human beings lose some brain capacity with age?
A | Most certainly. We all lose about 85,000 neurons a day. We can just kiss them good-bye.
Q | At what age does this decline in brain cells start?
A | We're probably at our mental peak at 18 or 19 years old, at least for most of the cognitive performances that can be measured in the lab.
Q | What a waste of adulthood!
A | Well, in caveman days, humans didn't live much past 23 or 24. We lived just long enough to be reproductively competent and to raise kids who could also reproduce. Which is why after age 40, we're in genetic free fall in terms of aging. Sorry about that.
Q | How does the loss of neurons affect our ability to learn and to remember new information?
A | The effects still aren't well-documented. But the answer to your question really depends on how we define memory. When a piece of information comes into your head, it goes through four separate processing steps, all of which you could call learning of a sort. The first step is encoding, in which information actually enters your brain through the senses: Light comes into your eyes, sound comes into your ears and so on. The second step is storage; once something gets encoded in your brain, what are you going to do with it? The third is retrieval, which is what most of us think of as memory: being able to get the information out again. Then comes the fourth and, I think, most important step, which is forgetting. Human learning is primarily subtractive. It's controlled forgetting, learning how to forget in a smart enough way so that you can focus on what's left in your cognitive landscape.
Q | Do we need to forget because we're bombarded with so much information all the time?
A | Yes. The brain's computational speed is pretty slow; it can't process all the information that's out there. So it has to make decisions about what it will and won't take in. Figuring out what's relevant and irrelevant, and then subtracting the irrelevant, is some of the most important work the human brain can do at any age.
Recently we've learned that most midlife memory fading isn't about memory after all. That is, it's not about retrieval mechanisms. It turns out that what middle-life brains have a really hard time doing is blocking out unnecessary information. As you get older, you lose your filtering ability.
A good example is not remembering where you put your keys. We sometimes call it a senior moment; it feels like you've forgotten something. But what's actually happening is that lots of other input is flooding into your brain, and you're unable to turn down that noise so that you can pay attention to the thing you're trying to remember. As you begin to lose control of controlled forgetting, your ability to attend to things—like where you put your keys—decreases because you can't prioritize your inputs.
Q | In your book you point out that there are significant genetic and anatomical differences between women's brains and men's. Does a woman's ability to filter out information break down faster than a man's?

Richard Holbrooke's Vexing Afghan Challenge
By Matthew Rosenberg
In Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan who died Monday evening in the U.S., was forced to confront a mercurial and suspicious Afghan president and the U.S. government's own bureaucratic turf battles.
Indeed, despite what both supporters and critics say was a towering diplomatic presence, Mr. Holbrooke competed for a role in a war commanded by a pair of powerful U.S. generals and a civilian effort overseen by an ambassador with whom Mr. Holbrooke often had a chilly relationship.
As word of his death spread Tuesday in Kabul, those who worked with him pointed to Mr. Holbrooke's role in building a team in Washington that could coherently address the challenges of Afghanistan. He brought together officials from the State Department, Treasury and other agencies to try to formulate and oversee a coherent civilian effort.
They noted his vocal support for Afghan-led efforts to make peace with the Taliban, and his behind-the-scenes work to bridge the divide between the Afghan government and Pakistan, where the Taliban's leadership and foot soldiers find safe haven.
Mr. Holbrooke also pushed hard to see more of the billions in American aid dollars spent annually in Afghanistan funneled through the Afghan government instead of U.S.-based contractors, a shift he and many Afghan officials argued was needed to build an administration here that could wean support from the Taliban.
Yet in the past year Mr. Holbrooke saw his front-line role in Afghanistan increasingly diminished.
His relationship with Afghan President Hamid Karzai suffered greatly in the wake of last year's fraud-ridden presidential election, in which the Afghan leader thought the U.S., and Mr. Holbrooke in particular, had tried to undermine him
Mr. Holbrooke's difficult relationship with Mr. Karzai wasn't unique – almost every American official, civilian or military, has found the Afghan leader an erratic and unreliable partner.
But for Mr. Holbrooke, charged with overseeing the civilian effort, his inability to work with President Karzai presented a particularly daunting challenge. Other people – such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. John Kerry – were often forced to intercede when the Afghan leader needed be brought on side. And none of them has yet succeeded in convincing President Karzai to clean up his corruption-riddled government or stop lashing out at the American forces propping up his administration.

Mila Kunis Dishes on Her Character in 'Oz', Teases New Project With James Franco
While director Sam Raimi remains short spoken about details of "Oz: The Great and Powerful", Mila Kunis spilled some hints about her character Theodora. Speaking to MTV News when attending the 2012 CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 25, the "Black Swan" actress revealed that she will play some sort of broken-hearted young girl.
"She's a good person who gets her heart broken," Kunis explained. "What happens to young ladies when their heart gets broken." When MTV urged her to elaborate if Theodora will turn into a horrible evil witch, the brunette beauty smiled and said, "You said it, not me."
When asked what else fans should know about "Oz", the Ukraina-born actress reluctantly answered, "Sam Raimi [directed the movie]. What else do you need? [Also] James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz. That's all you need."
"Oz", which is due to be released in the U.S. on March 8, 2013, tells the story of the origins of the Wizard. They include Oz's famous witches like Glinda, who becomes the Good Witch of the North, and Evanorah, who becomes the Wicked Witch of the East.
Aside from talking about "Oz", Kunis opened up that she's prepared a new short movie with Franco during the downtime of "Oz" filming. Without unveiling too much details of it, the "Friends with Benefits" star promised that the new project is going to beat "The Hills" parody, which she also co-starred with Franco.
"In the process, James and I had another collaboration that may or may not ever see the light of day," she said. "That was one of the many shorts that James shoots. That might go down in history as my favorite."
"I will not talk about it until it is shown, because it beat 'The Hills'. It's a whole other short that we shot. It was of the more fun experiences once could ever have," Kunis added. As for the genre of the short, the actress said, "Horror? Horror. It wasn't dirty. In case you're going in that direction."

Kendall Frey
Oct. 25, 2013
HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Sophomore striker Kendall Frey scored her second game-winning goal in the last three games, as the East Carolina women's soccer team moved its Conference USA record to .500 with a 1-0 road victory at Southern Miss on Friday evening.
With the win, East Carolina (7-8-2, 4-4-0 C-USA) collected its third consecutive win and fifth shutout of the season, earning three crucial points in the C-USA East Division standings. Entering the match and with three games remaining in the regular season, the Pirates held ownership of fifth place in the division – the final spot in the C-USA Tournament which will take place Nov. 6-10 in Houston, Texas.
"It was a good win," sad head coach Rob Donnenwirth. "We had chances in the first half and hit the post twice."
The first half went scoreless, but was far from unentertaining, as both teams totaled eight shots apiece and had their fair shares of scoring opportunities. Despite the 0-0 score, ECU was clearly the aggressor, putting six of their eight shots on goal and owning a 5-0 edge in corner kick chances, but was unable to find the back of the net.
Southern Miss (6-8-4, 0-6-2) opened the second half with an aggressive rush of its own in the first 20-plus minutes, outshooting the Pirates 6-2 and earning three corner kick opportunities during that span.
"They came out strong in the second half, but after Kendall's goal, our (defensive) backs and Saundra (Baron) were solid the rest of the way," Donnenwirth said.
The Pirates' defense remained strong and cleared each of the Golden Eagles' scoring threats, but a Southern Miss yellow card in the 63rd minute turned a bit of the team's momentum and the Pirates pounced on it. Just four minutes later, Frey her stamp on the contest with her third goal of the season on a feed from redshirt junior midfielder Lexi Miller to give ECU the 1-0 lead in what turned out to be the deciding tally in the match.
The goal was Frey's second game-winner in as many Friday matches, after she put home the deciding goal in ECU's 2-1 overtime win at Florida International just seven days prior.
Junior striker Stephanie Seagrave led the Pirates with four shots, two of which were on goal, while Frey had three of her own.
The Golden Eagles had a few more scoring opportunities in the waning minutes of regulation, but behind the Pirates' excellent defensive effort was redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Saundra Baron who posted her fourth shutout, while making seven saves in the game.
Southern Miss goalkeeper Brittany Taylor made 10 saves for the Golden Eagles, and forward Danica Roberts led the team with six shots on the day.
East Carolina will make the final stop on its road trip in Houston, Texas on Sunday, Oct. 27 for a 2 p.m., match against Rice.

Television Ads and Junk Food
New research has determined that most of the commercials that kids are exposed too are for junk food. Not a real shocker here. Growing up some of my most vivid T.V. memories are Cinnamon Toast Crunch and McDonalds advertisements—robble, robble! Kevin Freking of the Associated Press reports:
For years, health officials have warned that kids were being inundated with commercials about not-so-healthy foods. Now, researchers have put numbers to those warnings in the largest-ever study of commercials aimed at children.
"The vast majority of the foods that kids see advertised on television today are for products that nutritionists would tell us they need to be eating less of, not more of, if we're going to get a handle on childhood obesity," said Vicky Rideout of the Kaiser Family Foundation, which conducts health research.
Overall, the foundation's researchers monitored 13 television networks. The viewing took place primarily between late May and early September 2005. They saw 2,613 ads featuring food and drinks that targeted children and teens.
Children ages 8-12 see the most food ads on TV — an average of 21 a day, or 7,600 a year. Teenagers see slightly fewer — 17 a day, or about 6,000 a year; and children ages 2-7 see the fewest — 12 a day or 4,400 a year.

Axelrod: Darrell Issa is taking the GOP "over the cliff" on these scandals, you know
posted at 2:01 pm on June 4, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
The meme o' the week onto which much of the media is beginning to fiercely glom with faux indignation, wherein Republicans are getting oh-so-perilously close to "overreach" territory with their investigating and publicizing the latest roster of Obama administration, was going strong into Tuesday morning. Oh, yes — of course there are legitimate and important aspects of these investigations and certain questions that still need answering, they'll agree temperately, before turning the focus to cautioning Republicans on going too far with any unfortunate rhetoric that might overshadow their oversight efforts. That was the tack employed by former Team Obama front man David Axelrod during an appearance on MSNBC this morning, during which he lamented that Darrell Issa might already have "torqued this thing up so high that he threatens to take the party over the cliff." Riiiight, via Mediaite:
There are clearly serious things that ought to be looked at, and the Congress has the right to look at them. And the question is just, will they overplay their hand? You know, if, Darrell Issa has torqued this thing up so high that he threatens to take the party over the cliff. And if I were Republicans, I would say to Issa, in the parlance of his old business, 'please step away from that car.' I think that there's real danger here for them.
Rejoinder: Will concern-trolling journalists and talking heads 'worried' about the Republicans overplaying their hand, overplay their hand?

The Bugis Street area, singapore is famous as an arts, entertainment and education district, and as such, its planning commission wants new development to highlight the area's vibrant nightlife. To do this, the WOHA Architects design Iluma. Iluma is a new entertainment and retail complex with a bold exterior design, and a variety of entertainment options indoors.
The exterior of Iluma is dynamic, with different floors featuring different façade shapes. These different shapes serve different purposes such services as parking, cinemas and performance spaces. Inside, a 40 meter-tall atrium serves as the interior focal point, and all roads lead here. The atrium is divided into two levels, with retail services downstairs, and entertainment options upstairs. Above, a lush, open-air rooftop terrace, complete with theater, event space and a café, creates an urban tropical oasis.

If you would have listened to the "alarmists" or "paranoids" in 2008, right before the Great Resession began, and bought a few 1-ounce gold coins, you might have paid around $780.00 per.
Today, you might trade 1,800 Federal Reserve notes for the same coin.
You could have bought a Troy ounce silver round for $13.47 in August 2008.
Now, you might sell it for 40 Federal Reserve notes.
Contrary to what sound money advocate Ron Paul recently goaded Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke to admit, that he believed (or rather, wants you to believe), gold is money. When he said "No" when Dr. Paul asked if he thought gold was money, Ben rewrote the whole human history of mediums of exchange to the idiots that might believe him, all the while with a smirk on his face.
Perhaps he knew that the NFL almost had a deal and no one would care in a few weeks.
But the point of this article is not to point out all the reasons why it seems as though the American "way of life" is over as we know it, but here's just a few points that indicate that "we" unfortunately have a bad case of "the tyranny":
- The U.S. military is actively engaged in 6 supposedly "sovereign" countries (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen) and the "man on the street" still thinks Muslims are the violent ones.
- QE1, QE2, and Ben's recent hint at a possible QE3 (devaluing the money in your bank account) and the "man on the street" still thinks that the paper in his wallet is valuable and that he owns it.
- America's violent 40-year drug war continues, and the "man on the street" says "Well, we can't just let people do whatever they want".
- Police chiefs are "firing" the duly-elected mayors of towns and the "man on the street" doesn't even think that it might be illegal.
- Ignorance and immorality are now desired features for a prospective mate; the more of each, the better.
- If you sell physical metal, you go to Federal Prison as a "terrorist" and the "man on the street" still thinks the Patriot Act is for al-Qaeda.
- If you grow vegetables in your front yard or sell lemonade, you are a revolutionary. And the "man on the street", though in agreement, still thinks he can legitimately tell you when to water your grass.
- The supposed "debt" owed is unpayable, even if every dollar in circulation was confiscated, it still wouldn't equal the amount of toxic debt "we" are signed on to fraudulently. But the "man on the street" still thinks politicians are just stupid benevolent rich guys, no way they would do this on purpose.
- China, "our" biggest creditor, has aircraft carriers now.
The objective of this post is to simply allow me to sleep better tonight, so I'm not going to dwell on the mountains of negative news I could cite and probably should report on more.
At this point though it may be too late, I do want to attempt once again to warn my family, friends, and fellow travelers, that all signs point to complete collapse just around the corner. The last ball to drop would be OPEC announcing trading in another currency, or basket of currencies, destroying the dollar's hegemony of foreign countries holding American dollars in reserve. That ball will come in the form of hyperinflation (see photo) at home.
So, make fun. Point. Laugh.
Maybe little green aliens told me. Or I just probably believe everything I read.
But I bet there are more than a few people in the U.K. right now that are wishing they had taken steps to get prepared for societal bedlam.
This guy is getting prepared, and it really feels good. Are you?
Because if you think your government will be there to protect you if something goes wrong, you would be sadly mistaken. You have to take steps to defend yourself and those around you.
I've been asked more than a few times by close friends; 'What do I need to do to get prepared?'.
I normally respond that it is most likely too late to be absolutely prepared for the immediate and catastrophic danger of currency collapse and hyperinflation; only because you are way behind the bankers who have been preparing for years.
But since my friends asked, they are far ahead of most everyone else.
You can, however hastily, insulate yourself from some short-term risks by doing a few simple things:
- Buy and hold at least some physical gold or silver, the more the better
- Buy and hold a barter good (cigarettes, soda, etc.), the more the better
- Cultivate and solidify relationships with your neighbors
- Grow vegetables, the more the better, trade and gift to neighbors
- Buy and hold storable food and water (enough for at least 20 days)
- Prepare a bag of first-aid supplies, and enough provisions for 3 days, for immediate evacuation
- Have a gun for every pair of hands, plenty of ammo, and the will to defend above
But remember, you can't do these things effectively after a catastrophe. It takes foresight and a "best guess" scenario to not be completely caught with your pants down when TSHTF.
This is going to be one of those posts that may come back and bite me later in life.
But it's alright, I can sleep a little better tonight because I told you what I really thought.
And I should note that I am, personally, in no way compensated by any metal "dealers". (As-if selling metal should be reduced to "dealing", like it's a back-alley transaction or something. Why doesn't Shell "deal" gas? Why are guns and gold "dealt" like drugs while cigarettes, gas, and beer are "sold"?)

Study art at Moravian College!- Programs in Graphic Design, Studio Art, Art Education, and Art History
– Courses in Painting, Drawing, Photography, Digital Video, Graphic Design, Digital Imaging, Web Design, Animation, Printmaking, and much more!
Students will design and realize a semester-long project. Students will meet with faculty and solicit advisers from the adjunct faculty. This class is designed to let students advance their personal creative techniques, content, and vocabulary using a variety of traditional and digital media and to develop their own practice. Prerequisite: ART 371. Senior status, Studio track. (Spring)
Students may complete the studio track with a concentration on photography and media arts, substituting photography and media courses for intermediate and advanced levels of drawing and painting.
Required courses for the photography and media arts concentration:
ART 114, Art History Since Renaissance
ART 142, Visual Foundations
ART 170, Drawing 1
ART 180, Painting 1
ART 220, History of Photography
ART 229, WI: Modern Art
ART 268, Digital Photography
ART 368, Digital Photography 2
ART 371, Advanced Studio Seminar
ART 372, Senior Projects
Plus two additional courses chosen from Digital Video 1 or 2, Digital Photo 3, Independent Study, or Internship, to be determined with the student's adviser
This half-semester course introduces materials, tools, and procedures of printmaking and may include linocut, woodcut, intaglio, solarplate, and paper-making. Final project may include a book designed, produced, and bound by the student. (Fall)
Introduction to traditional and innovative techniques and ideas in relief, silk-screen, etching, mixed media. Prerequisite: Art 170 or permission of instructor. (Spring)
Screen printing is an extension of the introduction to silkscreen printing covered in the regular printmaking course. Because screen printing is unique, no prior printmaking prerequisite is required. This course will require the student to put the elements of design and color to use. Students must develop personal imagery and motifs and apply them to functional and fine art works. The elements of repetition, rhythm, and all over pattern, will be emphasized as well as the principals of color and composition. A current exposure to the "state of screen printing" will be met by regional field trips throughout the semester. Three basic techniques will be explored in screen printing, stencils, drawing fluid methods, and photo emulsion technique. Any or all of these methods may be combined when developing an image. Several projects emphasizing these techniques will be required throughout the semester. Instructor-led formal critiques will be held throughout the semester to evaluate student progress and the development of the student's personal imagery. There is also a Personal Discovery Project/Presentation required. (Spring)
Ceramics and Sculpture:
In-depth investigation of basic forms involving a variety of multidimensional media. Recommended foundation course for sculpture. (Spring)
This course introduces the fundamentals of ceramic art—including hand-built and wheel techniques—applied to tiles, objects, and vessels, and methods of glazing. Outdoor raku firing will be introduced. The history and use of ceramics will be discussed. The basics of operating a ceramics classroom are included: loading, unloading, firing and maintaining electric kilns, including low-fire and high-fire; purchasing clay, glazes and other supplies; health and safety concerns. (Fall and Spring)
Photography and Media Arts:
Focuses on the study of moving imagery and its use as an artistic tool for creative expression and social inquiry. Starting with problem solving and idea generation, students move into the traditional language of film, and the theories, disciplines, and procedures used to plan and produce works in video. Through classroom lectures, demonstrations, discussion, and hands-on experience, students learn the basic technical and operational skills involved in video making as well as creative strategies for producing their own individual works. Spring.
A critical seminar for the production and study of digital image making. Students learn the basic technical and operational skills involved in creating photographic work electronically. Discussions and readings investigate issues pertaining to art and media culture, as well as similarities and differences between the objective nature of traditional photography and the inherent subjective quality of digital imagery. The class will build a critical, theoretical, and artistic framework to help students develop their own unique vision in the context of digital art making.
This course is intended to provide Intermediate students with the opportunity to further develop their work and clarify their individual "voices" in the context of video, film, and electronic media. Frequent workshops will expand upon the concepts and techniques covered in Video 1, covering areas such as special equipment, lighting, sound recording/mixing, advanced editing, special effects, and creating a DVD. Projects will consist of short, video sketches that highlight particular technical skills and several longer projects that will conceptually explore a variety of genres in electronic media (i.e., documentary, narrative, experimental, animation, interactive, installation). Outside weekly reading is an essential component to this course which gives students a critical, theoretical, and artistic context in which to develop their own work as well as provide a platform for class discussion on issues pertaining to art and media culture. Assignments will include various pre-production, production, and post-production deadlines where progress can be assessed and critical discussion can take place. Classes will be structured around group and individual critiques, screenings of works by prominent video makers and digital artists, technical demonstrations as needed, readings about the history and technology of video and electronic art, and presentations from students. The semester will culminate with the Moravian Student Video Premiere in late April. Every video student will be required to submit at least one work to the premiere as well as participate in organizing and facilitating the event.
This course is intended to provide intermediate students with the opportunity to further develop their skills and individual "voices" in the context of digital photography and imaging. Treated as an experimental studio seminar for the production and study of digital image making, the course will expand upon the processes and techniques covered in Art 268. Advanced demonstrations and tutorials will be offered, and students will develop several small photographic series. The focus of this course, however, is on camera handling and image optimization rather than image "manipulation" in Photoshop. All assignments are tailored to emphasize conceptual vision and problem solving as students learn how images can communicate on both a visual and intellectual level. Class examples, discussions, and readings will investigate issues pertaining to art, photography, and contemporary culture, providing a critical, theoretical, and artistic framework for students to develop their work. Along with several short in-class exercises, there will only be 5 projects scheduled for the semester so that students can explore ideas in-depth and gain experience creating small, coherent bodies of work. A Digital SLR camera is required.
Courses are regularly offered in Digital Photography, Digital Video, and other Photography/Media areas.
