- Entrance ticket to the House of Music in Vienna
- Explore Vienna's interactive sound and music museum at leisure
- Listen to an audio guide and learn about international classical music composers
- See the historical archives of the Vienna Philharmonic
- Try conducting an orchestra using an interactive display
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
This is a must-do experience for all music fans. Lots of interactive elements guarantee you certainly won't have a boring day! Make sure you try conducting an orchestra; it's lots of fun!
What You Can Expect
Walk around the six floors of the museum at leisure, browsing the interactive displays and musical artifacts that abound. Pop on your headsets to enjoy an audio tour if you wish, learning about renowned international composers as you explore.
Highlights of the museum include the historical archives of the Vienna Philharmonic where you can listen to a shortened version of their famous New Year's Eve concert, and the Sonosphere on the second floor. The entire floor is dedicated to mechanics of sound, with countless instruments and interactive toys laid out to experiment with; it's perfect for keeping the kids entertained!
If Vienna's classical composers are of interest, then head up to the third floor to learn about their lives in the city and the music they created. A virtual conductor exhibit is also found on the floor, so test your conducting skills by waving a baton along to a video of Vienna Philharmonic playing. You will even get feedback after having a go!
Your ticket allows you to spend as much time as you wish inside the museum, but most people find about two hours to be sufficient to see all the exhibits. If you want a break while exploring, head to the on-site café or Restaurant Huth. Food and drinks are at your own expense.

Say I've got a variety X (or a scheme locally of finite type) over an algebraically closed field k. Then closed points of X correspond to k-points of X. (correct?)
Let's define a geometric point of X as a morphism from an algebraically closed field into X. (thus for example the morphism from k[x] to the algebraic closure of the field of fractions of k[x] is a geometric point of the line)
If a (reasonable!) property P holds for all k-points of X does it then hold for all geometric points?
My question comes from moduli stuff. For example, if E is a flat family of sheaves on X parameterised by some base S, such that the fibre of E has some behaviour over all k-points of S, will this behaviour persist on geometric points?

Caught a matinée performance of "Once" recently on Broadway, the most Tony-nominated show of 2012, with its acoustic guitar-heavy score, set, and book. What a great show! Think Irish Sesiun with a contemporary edge. Even as the audience files in for the show, the actors - all musicians - are on stage jamming on acoustic guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, cello, and piano. The simple set is a large open space with a bar and the audience is encouraged to come up and buy a drink before the show (and at intermission) and mingle on set. From then on we follow the story of a singer-songwriter-guitarist Guy in Dublin who meets a Girl who plays the piano and sings. She inspires him to give his music another chance, they make beautiful music together, but they have to deal with their respective unfinished relationships while it is clear they have fallen in love. The arrangements for guitar and piano are simple and effective, allowing for the full power of the lyrics to hit you like a ton of bricks with the raw emotions of love.
Special kudos to the sound crew, as the balancing of the wireless mic'ed voices and acoustic instruments is extremely well-done (sound designer Clive Goodwin, who workshopped the show at the ART here in Cambridge, has one of Once's 11 Tony Award nominations). The lead Guy of "Once" plays what looks like a well-worn Johnny Cash-model Martin D-35 guitar that rang out whether finger-picked or strummed. Indeed, the Martin guitar company has recently become the official guitar and guitar strings sponsor of "Once" (earlier promotional materials and video of the musical had Guy playing a well-worn black Takamine). Well played C.F. Martin and Co.

Buying Personal Itemshop...
I found out the reason for no one being able to buy one, its because someone put the link in black text on a black background. Can someone fix this? It would help a lot of people.
The link is on the far right on the "Visit the Bank" black bar. You have to highlight it to see.
Thx Sam:D I have been wondering where that was.
PB and Mercatfat would be proud of this thread.........
I think they did it for a reason, you know. ;)
They don't want everyone buying stores,. but since you kindly told everyone....

Those tedious welcome aboard safety drills do occasionally come in handy. Particularly late last week when passengers on Disney Magic got an unusual wake-up call: a fire alarm. Indeed, a fire atop one of the aft smokestacks occurred at approximately 4:30am while the ship was about 200 miles northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico en route from St. Thomas to Castaway Cay.
The 2,580 passengers aboard, 1,040 were children under 18, donned safety jackets though crew members managed to put the fire out in about an half-hour and three cruise ships were nearby, ready to assist if needed. Sometime after 6 a.m. passengers were allowed to return to their cabins instructed to stay off decks 9 and 10 for a brief time. The ship returned to Port Canaveral as planned on Saturday. The only damage? The smokestack buckled but with mostly cosmetic damage. All cosmetic repairs should be complete by the first week of May.
Passengers were granted $100 credit for the early wake-up and resulting inconvenience. At the final show of the cruise, Capt. Hans Mateboer was given a standing ovation by the crowd. He explained exactly what had happened and he brought all 100 firefighters out on stage to thundering applause.
The U.S. Coast Guard greeted Disney Magic at the port. Following a complete U.S. Coast Guard inspection, the ship was pronounced safe-to-sail though it departed for its next voyage 4 1/2 hours later than scheduled. The late departure was not all due to fire complications, the Navy had a training exercise in the area scheduled for 7pm and the Canaveral Port Authority held the Magic in port until 9:30pm.

In Acts 10, we are introduced to Cornelius, a converted Gentile who fears the Lord. In a powerful vision, the Lord spoke to him and told him to have Simon Peter visit. So Cornelius sent men to Joppa to bring back Peter. In the meantime, Peter had a vision in which the Lord revealed to him that all Gentiles who believed in Him would be considered clean in His eyes. There was no distinction between Jews and Gentiles in true salvation. So, accompanied by some of his Jewish brothers in Christ, Peter visited Cornelius' house and gave a powerful, compelling message. Before he was finished preaching, "the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 'Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?' And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days" (Acts 10:44-48).
Two things jump out in this text. The first is that the Jews who accompanied Peter to Cornelius' house were obviously accustomed to seeing tongues accompanying the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Their amazement was not just that people spoke in tongues after the Holy Spirit fell on them, but that the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit. So, we can safely conclude that the initial outpouring of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost was followed by more manifestations of this gift not written about in the Acts narrative between chapter two and here in chapter ten. The second thing that jumps out is that there was no need here for the interpretation of tongues. When Peter was preaching, everyone understood his message; so everyone in attendance spoke and comprehended the same language. So in this setting, the manifestation of tongues was a sign. It served as verbal communication between man and God only.
Farther along in the Acts narrative, we see the apostle Paul arriving in Ephesus. There he meets a group of men who were disciples but had only been baptized in John's baptism of repentance. "And Paul said, 'John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.' On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. There were about twelve men in all" (Acts 19:4-7).
Again in this instance, the outpouring of tongues was a sign, serving no communication purpose between men, only between man and God. It was visible evidence that "the Holy Spirit came on them" (v 6).

I had high hopes going into "Godzilla". He'd never grabbed me before; like Spider-Man, the mythos just didn't capture my interest. No fault to anyone who enjoyed it, just wasn't my cuppa tea. It looked like the same thing over and over (and over), and there didn't seem to be anything except a giant lizard reducing everything to tsunami rubble.
But then I saw "Pacific Rim". Didn't expect much there, either, but the scale attracted me, and to my fairly great surprise, I loved it.
And about two-thirds of the way through, the words went through my mind, "Oh, now I think I see why people like Godzilla." So when the Godzilla himself came along, I was prepared to be, in the words of Matthew McConaughey on becoming a father, "stoked and wowed."
Here we find Bryan Cranston as Joe Brody, the big kahuna of a nuclear power plant in Japan, whose life comes down in rubble when the plant suffers an anomalous seismic reverberation and does the same. Still obsessed with the events of that day, his now-grown son Ford regards his fixations as the ravings of a madman (vs. the anguished unfinished business of a world-class nuclear physicist, but onward).
As Joe and military bomb-technician Ford make one final investigation into the quarantined plant site fifteen years later, they discover that much more is afoot: scientists have discovered some very unpleasant goings-on involving long-dormant gargantuan creatures that have been awakened by the smell of nuclear power in the morning.
Needless to say (but I will), the creatures awaken and rampage through whatever feeble structures stand in their way (such as San Francisco), chomping their way across the globe until confronted by "the world's most famous monster." You can pretty much guess how things go down from here.
Was "Godzilla" cool? You bet. Were the creatures he was fighting cool? Sure. Was the movie cool? Pretty much, yeah. Probably the best use of 3D IMAX I've seen to date and a rockin' movie watching experience. A colleague fan of mine commented (I paraphrase) that Godzilla's roar was not to be believed, and he's right.
I enjoyed the visuals greatly, but alas, stoked and wowed I was not.
The problem? The thin story. The attempt at meaning with cookie-cutter characters. The squandered cast.
Actually, the cast wasn't squandered, it just didn't have anything to do. Comprised primarily of Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Aaaron Taylor-Johnson, Sally Hawkins, and Elizabeth Olsen, it owned a gold mine of talent. But "Godzilla" would have been just as well off with a troupe of Juilliard drama majors angling to get discovered, and it would've cost the production a lot less. Not because the cast didn't do well (which of course they did), but because there wasn't one single unique thing about any character that the actor could grab hold of and own.
Anywhere manufactured drama held the possibility of actual drama (such as Ford's promise to panicked parents that he would protect their small boy through the chaos), the resolutions simply fell flat and equally manufactured (the boy reunites with his parents in a crowd, apropos of nothing, and they don't even look around to spot Ford who saved his little butt and say thank you). And so it goes. >sigh<
Me, I'd think "Godzilla" would have been better as seen only through the eyes of Ford, scrapping the pretty wife and young child and focusing on our guy as he tries to mitigate the carnage as it proceeds around the globe (which is admittedly very cool). The rest was just a mishmash of trying to generate tension and backstory within a story that was already tense and didn't have any natural backstory to begin with. But that's just my two cents, and I'm finished thinking about it.
Go see "Godzilla" on the biggest screen you can possible manage, and if it's 3D IMAX, even better. Stock up on popcorn and goodies, and enjoy the action. Don't expect any more than that, but confidently expect that.

The rumblings of prolific writer Mike Carey ("Lucifer," "The Unwritten") heading to BOOM! Studios picked up steam last week with the release of a Tommy Lee Edwards-illustrated teaser, featuring a police officer having a very bad day, with fiery carnage and shadowy super-powered figures looming in the background. The teaser simply stated, "When there are only villains, being a hero makes you a…"
Today, CBR News officially fills in the blank: It makes you a "Suicide Risk," the title of Carey's new book.
Debuting in May, Carey's new series is set is a world experiencing "its first wave of superpower activations." With most people opting to do evil with their newfound powers, police office Leo Winters is fighting the odds, putting his life at stake.
Carey spoke with CBR about the ideas behind the superhero epic he's developing on with artist Elena Casagrande and cover artist Tommy Lee Edwards. He also discusses the reasons behind his decision to launch a new ongoing series through BOOM!, his first monthly series published outside of The Big Two.
CBR News: The teaser image BOOM! released said, "When there are only villains, being a hero makes you a..." Now we know the answer: It makes you a "Suicide Risk." What can you tell us about the story, and the police character at the center of the teaser image?
Mike Carey: In our story, the world is experiencing its first wave of superpower "activations" -- and it's immediately turning into a crisis. Most people who develop powers use them for evil ends. A smaller number become heroes, but even the heroes often don't stay that way. After a few weeks or months of trying to defend society against the villains' assaults, they switch to the other side. So we're left with a few well-meaning guardians trying to stem a rising tide. They're outnumbered and outgunned at every turn, and as more and more supers appear the odds just keep on getting worse. Against that backdrop, our main character, Leo Winters, is involved in a police action trying to stop a group of villains from committing a robbery. But things go very badly for him and for the people around him. So he makes a fateful decision, which seems to make a lot of sense -- but which will put him and his family on the front line in a war that's bigger and wider than anyone suspects. I love superhero stories when they're true to their own logic. This is not a world where there are a thousand superheroes with a thousand different origins. There's a single reason for everything that happens in this story, and the uncovering of that reason is part of the main structural spine of the story. For Leo, it's going to be a pretty devastating reveal.
Is it set in San Diego? The buildings in the background of the teaser look an awful lot like the Hyatt--
It is set in San Diego, and that is the Hyatt. Tommy Lee Edwards has done a spectacular job with that cover, both in terms of realizing the setting and in setting the tone for the story. That picture really is worth a thousand words (which means I can clock off early). I was thinking two things, really. One was that if the emergence of supers is a global phenomenon, you want to show that by putting them somewhere that hasn't been much used as a setting for superhero stories in the past. We move to LA in our first arc, and there'll be a lot of other locations after that, both in the US and elsewhere. The other thing is just that I wanted to use a city I've actually visited a lot -- a city where I feel I can navigate inside my head. Probably San Diego and Los Angeles are the two places in America where I've spent the most time, because my wife has relatives in LA and we've visited with them a lot. So that was the thinking. New York is a wonderful town, but how big a superhero population can it take? Something's got to give, eventually...
When did you start talking to BOOM! about working with them?
The conversation actually started a long time ago. I was in New York for NYCC in 2010, and I met up with the BOOM! crew -- Ross Richie, Matt Gagnon and Ross's wife Johanna Stokes, who wrote "Station," among other things -- for a very memorable and very enjoyable dinner, which I think ended at around 3AM. We talked about me doing a series for BOOM! and I floated a couple of ideas -- one of which I then pitched to Matt after I went back to the UK. It wasn't called "Suicide Risk" back then. If I remember rightly, the first working title was "Faultline" -- for reasons that I can't go into without getting into spoiler territory. Matt liked the idea, but asked me some searching questions about the lead character and his arc, which I revisited in some subsequent drafts. There was a big question about structure, too, and about how some of the supporting cast would be handled once we revealed what the big picture was. Some tidying to be done, essentially, and a bit of re-imagining. But then there was an upheaval in my life that took me away from the pitch. My prose fiction sort of derailed my comic book writing for a while. I'd pitched a mainstream conspiracy thriller to Sphere in the UK, and they offered me a three-book deal -- at a time when I was also co-writing a fantasy novel with my wife and daughter. This was when I stopped writing "X-Men Legacy," because the demands of the prose writing were about as much as I could handle. The only comic book I kept writing through that time was "The Unwritten." Anyway, the thrillers duly came out, under the flimsy this-isn't-a-fantasy-writer pseudonym of Adam Blake, and when the dust settled, Matt and I started to talk again. I'd had time to think about the points he'd raised, which really helped me to turn the story from a conceptual oddity into something -- I think -- coherent and hard-hitting. I got the green light, and I started to write. Now, the first arc is pretty much in the can and we're plotted through to #12. And it has to be said, we're having a wild time.
You're launching an ongoing original series with BOOM! -- a smaller publisher than DC/Vertigo and Marvel, where you've done substantial work. Aside from hitting it off with everyone there, why was BOOM! a good fit for this story over any another publisher?
I'm happy to be doing this story with BOOM!. They seem to be an amazingly vibrant and varied imprint, putting out a lot of cool books. I guess this is a first for me, in that it's a superhero story with no debt whatsoever to an existing continuity. It's very much its own animal. So it's great to be writing it for a publisher that defines its mission statement in those terms -- in finding new approaches to storytelling and doing innovative, unexpected things with genre material.
What are you looking forward to most about getting back into the world of superpowers for the first time since your time with the X-Men ended?
The big challenge with superhero stories -- as with most stories within an established genre -- is finding ways to make the familiar unfamiliar again. You know that your readers are very well used to a set of core tropes and devices, so you use those tropes and devices as a starting point, but then you aim to bounce off them in unexpected directions. I love playing that game, both as a creator and as a reader. Venturing into well-explored territory and finding or making something new and strange and worthwhile there. All good stories should give you those two kinds of pleasure or pay-off, the ones you see coming and eagerly anticipate, and the ones that come out of nowhere and leave you wondering what hit you.
You mentioned you had twelve issues planned currently. How big of a story are you hoping this ends up being, both in scope and in length?
In scope, it's huge. I mean, it starts off personal and focused on a small group of characters, but it keeps on getting bigger and bigger. There'll be twists and ramifications that draw in more and more people and redefine the scale of what's at stake. Ideally I'd like to see it play out across six or seven years -- a canvas as big as "Lucifer" or "The Unwritten."
Elena Casagrande is the series' regular artist. What can you tell me about working with her? I believe she lives in Italy, so how does that affect your collaboration, if at all?
We're still in the early days -- defining the look of the characters and the world, working through some of the set-piece scenes in the first issue, and generally feeling our way towards a style that fits the material. Elena being in Italy won't be a problem. I'm used to working with artists whose day-night cycles are out of synch with mine. When I get up in London and hit the keyboard at 8am, I'm frequently having email conversations with Peter Gross, who's still working late into the night in Minnesota. Elena will be one line of longitude away from me -- piece of cake.
"Suicide Risk" is a superhero book, but do you see any thematic threads or links between this and any of your other long-form comics work like "The Unwritten" or "Lucifer?"
There are overlaps, yeah, because the same things still tend to fascinate me. One of the central themes in "Suicide Risk," which was also a strong element in "Lucifer," is the whole question of the dancer becoming the dance -- of the things we do defining and changing us. Leo, our protagonist, has very good reasons for doing some very dodgy and dangerous things -- and he believes that he can do them and then walk away and everything will be like it was before. Of course, that's not how life works. That's not how we work, as people.

You'll use supplies found in a standard hospital environment to give the simulation as realistic a feel as possible. Reaching New Heights More than 200 students from the School of Theatre, Television and Film filmed and produced a one hour, dramatic television pilot called "Hollywood Heights." Senior film major Iris Chaffin served as the film's director. She and the entire student crew filmed on location in Hollywood with professional actors and equipment, giving them hands-on experience working on a real set. Unlike many student film school projects involving very few students taking on many different tasks, "Hollywood Heights" was a professional student-run production. From set designers and sound editors to costume design and makeup, the students did it all. The goal—to make SDSU students more valuable to the film industry and hopefully create a network-ready show in the process. They're on their way; the film students won a 2009 Emmy Award in the "Best Student Production—Program" category. Building a LiquidFueled Rocket A Learning Center for All Ages As one of few females in the field of engineering, Joy Salvatin knew she would constantly have to prove herself. Working on the studentrun rocket project was one way she chose to stand out. The SDSU Children's Center serves as a daycare and educational program for children of students, faculty, and the community. The project explores rocket design and fabrication and is one of only two university programs in the country involved in the production of liquidfueled rockets. The team hopes the valuable hands-on experience will give them an edge to employers and offer them a chance to pursue their passion. The center features a relaxed and loving atmosphere in which children are free to explore, learn, and create through play. For Child Development and Liberal Studies students, the center also serves as a unique hands-on learning tool. You are able to observe and work at the center, which is conveniently located on campus. Arts and Culture SDSU's well-balanced campus environment celebrates the rich arts and culture of the student population and the world in which we live. SDSU is home to three art galleries, three performing arts halls, film festivals, music and dance recitals, and frequent lectures from visiting authors, poets, and artists. Let the Music Play With two of San Diego's best concert venues right on campus, major acts such as Lady Gaga and Foo Fighters come to you. Express Your Artistic Ability The artistic expression of your fellow students, faculty, and the community is on display throughout the year at the University Art Gallery and Downtown Gallery in downtown San Diego. After Class Students are the heart of campus life. SDSU enjoys a dynamic mix of ethnic, racial and social backgrounds, including students from more than 100 nations. This means plenty of opportunities to get involved in student government or clubs and organizations. With pep rallies, concerts, lectures, cultural fairs, and social events, there's always something going on. Aztec Nights Weekend fun begins with Aztec Nights activities Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening during the first week of the semester.

Each spring students celebrate sustainability and Aztec pride with GreenFest, a week of environmentally themed activities culminating with a festival and concert.

It is scheduled to open fall 2013 and will serve as the new hub for campus life. www.aztecstudentunion.com Live and Learn You will find a true sense of community at your new SDSU home.

March Madness on Montezuma Mesa March Madness hit the SDSU campus as the Aztec men's basketball team followed their undefeated season by a trip to the 2011 NCAA sweet sixteen. During the playoffs, loyal student fans (known as "The Show" for their entertaining team spirit) lined up overnight to get their free homegame tickets. Both the men's and women's teams went to playoffs in 2011 and were 2010 Mountain West Conference champions. Go Aztecs! SDSU's athletic teams offer thrilling Mountain West Conference events.

Global Reach Aztecs for Life Each year more and more SDSU graduates become "Aztecs for Life," expressing their pride and dedication to San Diego State. The university's alumni connection is one of the strongest around. In fact, one in seven San Diegans with a degree is an SDSU graduate. A Taste of the Unknown A taste of the unknown: that's what I was looking for in my abroad experience. I got this and much more when I went to Lima, Peru to study business to fulfill my international business abroad requirement. Though it was a bit stressful at times, I thoroughly enjoyed the sense of freedom and adventure. The International Business abroad trip was the real deal and it gave me the experience and confidence I lacked before as it relates to international travel and the Spanish language. New cities, sights, and terrain are one thing, but it is always the people that make the difference. I had some of the best times of my life with other international students who were also studying at La Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola. We ate, laughed, traveled, and studied together and learned a lot about one another's culture and perspective. I still keep in contact with many of them and plan to visit each of them in their home country. - Written by student James Castaneda With many regional chapters, Aztec alumni are able to stay connected to each other and the university. But you don't have to wait to graduate to join in the fun—the SDSU Student Alumni Association connects current students to alumni. Members can attend events, network, and set up mentorships with alumni. Nothing Fishy About It Ralph Rubio is best known as the co-founder and chairman of Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill, famous for its fish taco. He first encountered a fish taco stand while on a spring break trip in San Felipe. After he graduated from San Diego State in 1978, Rubio began his quest to launch a company in his hometown of San Diego. By 1983, he succeeded at making the dish a local favorite, and it can now be found throughout California. Study Abroad Join the more than 1,600 students who experience the excitement, challenges and rewards of studying in another country each year. SDSU offers more than 190 study abroad programs in 46 different countries. These programs offer you the opportunity to learn a new language, experience a different culture, build your resume, and increase earning potential. You can receive SDSU resident credit, pay comparable fees to SDSU, and even use your financial aid while abroad. Painting the Way to a Better World As part of a multi-national peace project, geography students have been involved with the creation of a mural that will eventually be displayed in the North and South Korea demilitarized zone. This is one example of how SDSU's collaboration with youth-serving organizations and governments positively impacts children, their families, and their communities. Rubio has stayed close to his roots by continually supporting the SDSU community financially and even setting up shop on campus. Local Connection Digging into San Diego's Haunted History Few houses in San Diego are as historically important as the Whaley House in Old Town San Diego. It housed the county court house, San Diego's first commercial theater, a school, polling place, and various businesses, including Thomas Whaley's own general store. According to the Travel Channel, the Whaley House is the number one most haunted house in the United States. The history and mystery influenced SDSU professor Seth Mallios to lead a summer archaeological field school for anthropology students at the historic house. The team hopes to find and dig the 19th-century well located in back of the main house. Since digging began in 2007, SDSU archaeologists have unearthed 35,000 artifacts, including a stovetop, a porcelain tooth, pottery, animal bones, and architectural tools, some dating back to the late 19th century. Work Perks Good internships can benefit students in any major. What about two internships? Students in the Hotel and Tourism Management (HTM) program must complete two internships to earn their degree. Luckily, the Student Center for Professional Development helps HTM students find part-time and summer positions that will give them the skills needed to thrive in the hospitality industry. The center is so successful that a typical HTM student works or volunteers more than 2,000 hours. This may seem overwhelming, but all the hard work pays off—the HTM program has a 99% placement rate for graduates. Ready for the Real World An education at SDSU prepares you for life after college. You'll study under professors who are experts in their field and get hands-on experience with class projects that address real world issues. SDSU career counselors work with all academic departments to ensure you are prepared for the job hunt. You'll meet some of the most sought-after employers at career fairs and be able to attend interviews on campus. Diversity 1 (fall 2010 applicant pool) 1. African American: 6.2% 2.

I photograph what pops out from the background. People that move me, places that excite me and situations that speak volumes in their silence. Objects that rust very loudly. Out there in the street of it all, each person indulges their moment; folks at lunch with time running out, late for meetings, going to the bank, lost in thought, hungry. Long after the photo is printed it all looks so silly. What was important then is completely different now. And that's the transformation I live for. The reason I take photos. To feel the before and after. --- PhotoJournal: www.rangefound.com PhotoArchive: www.mvlimbert.com

Guest Book
This interesting piece is an Olmecoid standing figurine that dates circa 600-300 B.C. This piece is approximately 6 inches high, is a light tan clay, and has a thin light tan to clear polychrome glaze. This piece is intact, and has a solid body and a mold made hollow head, which was attached in antiquity. This figure is seen with both arms at the side, and the hands are positioned at the front holding a paunchy stomach, which indicates that this piece is a fertility and/or mother goddess. In addition, the lower torso is "pear" shaped and has wide hips. This piece also has many classic Olmec artistic style features such as the jaguar-like ears, eyes, and mouth. These features are a combination of human and animal, which are classified as "transformation art", which is a principle stylistic hallmark of Olmec art from central Mexico. This type of Middle Preclassic period fertility figurine has been found in Izapa (Mexico), Kaminaljuyu (Guatemala), and Chalchuapa (El Salvador); and has also been classified as the "Mamom" artistic style, which was produced by a "pre-Mayan" and/or Mayan culture. (For the "Mamom" artistic style, see "Maya, Treasures of an Ancient Civilization", Harry Abrams, Inc. Pub., New York, 1985, pp. 74-75.) This piece is scarce in this intact condition, as most pieces of this type are found broken, and is a much better example than what is normally seen on the market. This piece can also stand by itself. This piece comes with a custom stand, and can easily be removed. Ex: Julio Atalah collection, circa 1940-1967. Ex: Danny Hall collection, Houston, TX., circa 1967-2005. Ex: Saida Cebero collection, Sugarland, TX., circa 2005-2009. Ex: Private Florida collection. I certify that this pice is authentic as to date, culture, and condition:

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are the stars of the 2014 film "22 Jump Street," the sequel to "21 Jump Street," a movie starring the actors in the roles of Jenko and Schmidt, two rookie cops sent on an undercover mission to infiltrate a local high school. This time, fans can look forward to the crime-fighting duo infiltrating a drug ring in a local college. As with the previous film, fans also can look forward to more of the on-screen chemistry between Tatum and Hill that has had audiences buzzing with anticipation since filming began in Sept. 2013.
Even though "22 Jump Street" is an action-packed comedy above all else, the film also focuses heavily on the relationship between the two main characters. Hill portrays Schmidt, an intelligent but overly sarcastic police officer who makes up for what he lacks in strength with his street savvy. Tatum portrays Jenko, a police officer with movie star good looks and a strong sense of dedication. The two characters have been inseparable from their first day in police academy, but events at the beginning of "22 Jump Street" threaten to tear them apart.
Outside of their respective roles, Tatum and Hill have off-screen chemistry as well. The two actors have made it clear during various interviews that they get along like brothers. Both actors came from humble beginnings, with Hill starting out as a low-level comedy writer and Tatum as a college athlete. Through hard work and perseverance, both men worked their way up from minor roles to Hollywood stardom as leading men. Hill's first big role came in "I Heart Huckabees," while Tatum became known from a small role in television's "CSI: Miami."
The stark contrast between Tatum and Hill made them popular fan favorites for Jenko and Schmidt, and their eventual casting was met with considerable excitement. "21 Jump Street" cemented that Tatum and Hill are a cinematic match made in heaven. In addition to all the laughs and exploding cars that the original "21 Jump Street" was known for, these actors brought more emotional depth to the franchise. The relationship between Jenko and Schmidt is heartfelt and goes deeper than most in the buddy cop genre.
In addition to "21 Jump Street," Tatum and Hill thrilled audiences by appearing together in a 2013 film called "This is the End." "This is the End" is directed by none other than Seth Rogen, an iconic comedian, writer and actor who had a significant production role in both "21 Jump Street" and "22 Jump Street." Rogen's film features many of Hollywood's top celebrities as they attempt to survive the end of the world. Although Tatum's role is minor, critics and fans expressed that it was one of the best parts of the film.
Perhaps the most appealing thing of all about seeing Hill and Tatum in the same movie is that genuine off-screen friendship that became especially close after filming "This is the End." The bond of friendship and humor the actors share comes through in their roles as Jenko and Schmidt, making the "21 Jump Street" franchise even more believable. Genuine chemistry is the crucial element that allows a great script and great acting performances to come alive on screen.
Considering Hill and Tatum's brilliant chemistry and hilarious back-and-forth rapport, it's easy to see why the idea of the pair starring together once again is so appealing. These actors are at the height of their careers, and their brotherly bond makes them a truly enjoyable act to watch. The rave reviews and box office successes these actors have enjoyed in the past few years mean audiences can expect to see more of this on-screen duo in years to come.

Unrequited Love
Explaining Germany's Infantile Crush on Obama
A Commentary by Jan Fleischhauer
It's too bad that Mitt Romney didn't win. If the Republicans had won, we could finally have known for sure that our suspicion of America's imminent demise is correct. "Four more years," translated into the German viewpoint means little more than a "four-year reprieve."
For the über-watchful among us, the signs of the downfall are obvious. One must only take a look at the condition of the streets (every fourth bridge is crumbling!), or the entirely outdated power grid, to come to the conclusion that this country has its future behind it. A nation that has its utility lines hanging from poles in the street, instead of burying them in an orderly fashion underground, cannot really be taken seriously.
With a bit of luck, the specter across the Atlantic might even take care of itself. It can't be ruled out. When they are not shooting each other or being fried by dangling power lines then the Americans might simply pop. Two out of every three US citizens are overweight, or even obese! Every child in Germany knows the numbers.
There is hardly an issue about which Germans as so united as they are by their desire to see America on its knees. It unites both the left and the right. Wherever they look, they see decay, a lack of culture and ignorance. "A perverse mixture of irresponsibility, greed, and religious zealotry," as my adversary, columnist Jacob Augstein, furiously argued on Monday.
A Blessing to Live in Germany
What a blessing it is, one must conclude, to live in Germany, a country where the highways are regularly repaired and the washing machines use so little water that one could water the entire Sahara with what is left over. In which citizens' initiatives are formed against McDonald's, and two-bit crime dramas are considered the pinnacle of TV entertainment. If the utility poles here were to snap like toothpicks, then it would be the fault of some natural catastrophe, the likes of which would make a hurricane seem like a gentle breeze.
I don't want to sound like a smart aleck, but does anyone remember when, in December 2005, a surprisingly strong winter storm left 250,000 people in the area surrounding Münster without power for days? Münster and its environs do not want to rule the world. But still, it was strange to see the same experts on TV, who two years prior, during a large power outage on the east coast of the US, had given their reasons for why something like that could never happen in Germany.
The criticism of America has always been a bit infantile. One is familiar with the theory from psychoanalysis, when people talk about transference, or when suppressed feelings or emotions are overcome by projecting them onto others. It may work for a while, improving one's feeling of self-worth by devaluing an imagined adversary. But it always falls short. Which is why the ritual must be constantly carried out anew.
For as long as I can remember, America has been on the decline. Already in the 1970s, the country was doomed, and that was before people like Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush came to power. In the meantime, Americans brought communism to its knees, rang in the age of the Internet and revolutionized capitalism several times.
The reality is that a quarter of global wealth is still created in the United States. They still have at their command the largest military power on the globe, and will continue to do so, despite all of the talk of a multi-polar world.
The Infatuation with Obama
Above all, the United States remains the largest chosen destination of millions of people in the world. If they had the choice of where they could live, the majority oddly enough would not choose the German DIN standard for happiness, but life in New York or California, where the potholes are as big as gravel pits. That may make people here want to light as many candles as possible, to pray for the downfall to finally come.
The childish excitement over Obama, that once again took hold over Germans during this election — fully 93 percent of the country would have voted for him in this election — is the flip side of this desire for America's demise. That the Germans, of all people, should see themselves in a black civil rights attorney from Chicago can only be explained by the fact that they see him as the opposite of what they consider to be normal Americans.
Since Obama spoke to the world in front of the Victory Column in Berlin during his first presidential campaign in the summer of 2008, he has found a firm place in the hearts of German citizens. They will always be grateful to him for this honor. That's why they forgive him for keeping Guantanamo open and for sending out drones like other people would send postcards.
In the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, Andrian Kreye correctly pointed out that for Europe, life with Republican presidents is usually easier, because the US then takes the obligations of its alliances seriously.
Obama has no interest in Europe, and all of his attention goes to Asia. If this president calls the German chancellor's office, it is only to try to sweet talk her into finally implementing euro-bonds, so Wall Street can sleep again. But that is one of those facts that is better to suppress.
Superpowers don't disappear over the course of years. It takes decades, if not centuries. As such, the verdict might not arrive for awhile yet. The prophets of doom can continue to hope.
While we are at it, besides the gender gap, Romney also Lost the Cubans!
Romney's Hispanic Disaster
Now that Florida has been called for Barack Obama by the slimmest of margins, Republicans have to confront the fact that they lost the Sunshine State because of weakness in a key demographic they used to own: Cuban Americans.
Exit polls from Fox News and the Pew Hispanic Center indicate that Cuban-Americans gave Obama 49 percent of their vote, besting Mitt Romney's 47 percent. A competing exit poll by the Democratic firm of Bendixen & Amandi International gives Romney a 52–48 edge. Either way, Obama did far better among Cubans than he did in 2008, when he won only 35 percent of their votes.
Regardless of which one is most correct, the margin in Florida clearly can be explained by Romney's collapse in support from perhaps the most anti-Communist voting bloc in the country. Ever since the Bay of Pigs invasion, Cubans have rallied behind Republicans, with every GOP nominee holding huge rallies in Miami and declaring "Cuba libre!" and "Cuba, si; Castro, no!" Ronald Reagan won more than 80 percent of Cuban voters in his two races for the presidency.
Everyone has realized that younger generations of Cuban-Americans would become less conservative since they have no direct memories fleeing the country or of Communist rule there. But there are signs that the Romney-Ryan ticket even lost support among older Cubans.
Democratic operatives told the Miami Herald that they exploited the fact that Paul Ryan had been a long-time supporter of lifting the 50-year-old embargo on direct trade with Havana. "They did their ticket a lot of harm with Cubans, and allowed us to at least get a hearing with them on other economic issues," an Obama-campaign official said.
Nor did the GOP's headaches in Florida end with Cubans. Cubans make up a third of Hispanics in Florida, but a full 27 percent of them are Puerto Ricans. Among that group, Romney fared disastrously. He lost Puerto Ricans 83–17 in the Bendixen exit poll.
Sadly, there is even speculation that Romney's disastrous showing among Puerto Ricans on the mainland helped drag down Governor Luis Fortuño, the promising Republican governor of Puerto Rico. Fortuño had campaigned for Romney in Florida and appeared in Spanish-language ads for him. But he lost his bid for reelection by 15,000 votes to Alejandro Garcia Padilla, a Democrat who had made a big show of having lunch with President Obama during his visit to San Juan in 2011.
Luis Martinez-Fernandez, a history professor at the University of Central Florida, told National Journal that "it was really a bad choice by Fortuño to get so close to people like Romney."
Many political experts I spoke with said that Romney's opposition to legislation that would legalize children of illegal aliens didn't play a big role in his poor showing among Hispanics in Florida. "Cubans have the right to legal residency here as soon as they set foot on U.S. soil, and Puerto Ricans are already full citizens," one Hispanic businessman told me. He also didn't perceive much of an advertising effort: "Romney really dropped the ball by not running Spanish-language media until Labor Day and then only half-heartedly."
"If you want to captivate Hispanics or any other group, you need to start early in the election cycle and you need to focus on issues that are not as divisive," argued John Quinones, a Puerto Rican Republican. Quinones narrowly lost a GOP primary for Congress in Florida this year in a largely Hispanic district to a right-wing talk-radio host who wound up losing badly to Democratic firebrand Alan Grayson. But he told National Journal he didn't think the damage was permanent: "I don't think it was so much about Obama being the right candidate as it was about how Romney was perceived by a lot of Hispanics. Republicans have a lot of work on their hands."
Florida Republican party chairman Lenny Curry couldn't agree more. "Our weakness with Hispanics is something we have to address," he told me. "We're going to have to figure out if we're serious about having a relationship with diverse communities. I can't believe these numbers, and we have to fix them."

Birgitta Jonsdottir, member of the Icelandic parliament, talks about the role the financial meltdown in 2008 played in the people there's insistence on transparency in government and banking, the new whistle-blower protection law working its way through their system which would protect, computer servers, prevent judges from compelling disclosure of sources, the hero Bradley Manning's plight, the importance of Wikileaks, the inability of Iceland to protect whistleblowers from extradition, but their important ability to promise that whatever documents people do risk life and liberty to leak will reach the public and not be removed from the Web and the delay behind the release of the Garani airstrike video.
MP3 here. (15:04) Transcript below.
Birgitta Jonsdottir,is a member of parliament of the Althing, the Icelandic parliament, formerly representing the Citizens' Movement, but now representing The Movement. Her district is the Reykjavík South Constituency. She was elected to the Icelandic parliament in April 2009 on behalf of a movement aiming for democratic reform beyond party politics of left and right. Birgitta has been an activist and a spokesperson for various groups, such as Saving Iceland and Friends of Tibet in Iceland. Currently she is a spokeswoman for the website Wikileaks in relation to her role as a co-producer for the Collateral Murder video published by Wikileaks.
Transcript – Scott Horton interviews Birgitta Jonsdottir July 25, 2010
Scott Horton: Alright everybody, welcome back to the show. If I'm lucky, I have Birgitta Jonsdottir. I'm sorry, ma'am. Hi, welcome to the show. My Icelandic is horrible this time of year, can you help me?
Birgitta Jonsdottir: [laughs] Yeah, Jonsdottir. It was quite close, actually.
Horton: Well you're very generous, thank you. And thank you for joining us here. Now, so everyone, I urge you to go and look at this very interesting article by Raffi [Khatchadourian] at the New Yorker magazine, called "No Secrets: Julian Assange's Mission for Total Transparency," and it's a really great piece. Apparently this reporter hung-out with the Wikileaks crew as the so-called "Collateral Murder" video was being assembled, and ma'am you take part in this story – uh you're on scene, saying you don't really believe in the State but as long as there is one you wanted to get a law passed to protect whistleblowers. Can you tell us about your adventures here?
Jonsdottir: Well the thing is, since I live in Iceland and – I don't know if your listeners are aware of this but we had the biggest financial collapse in history in Iceland in 2008, so, you know, I got to go into parliament being an activist there – I used to be an activist outside the parliament.
And one of the things that everybody in Iceland has become aware of is the tax havens, and how they are being abused and how they create total secrecy. So we wanted to take the same principle and concept of the tax havens and pull together all the best possible laws from around the world to ensure transparency and freedom of information and expression. So we're basically modernizing all the legislation in relation to strengthening these pillars of democracy. And what I have found during this quest – in a fairly complex journey – is that these basic rights are eroding at an alarming rate in our world, and in particularly in the so-called "Western World."
So what I have discovered through this journey is that Iceland is not the only country that needs it, but there is a growing debate – particularly in Europe – that they need to change their laws as well – to face the fact that we are living in a world where information doesn't have any borders anymore. And at the same time lawyers don't have any borders anymore so we have to try to be one step ahead of them.
Horton: So exactly what is this law anticipating? Is it something like protecting the sanctity of privately-owned computer servers, that kind of thing?
Jonsdottir: Yes, it is dealing with the IP host problem, and dealing with, of course – this is extremely important for Iceland and it seems to the rest of the world – to ensure that journalists don't have to reveal their sources. So both the journalists can't – or it would be illegal for him to reveal the source, or he cannot be forced to do it by a judge. And we are also basing our whistleblower legislation on the Swedish one, which is apparently the strongest in the world.
Plus, encouraging people to do whistleblowing because it is very important that people are encouraged to, instead of what seems to be the case with the Bradley Manning case where it seems to be the case that your country wants to make him an example of how people should not do whistleblowing. And in his case if he is indeed the person that leaked the Iraqi video of "Collateral Murder" that he was obviously showing a hideous war crime that the rest of the nations that are participating in this war need to see.
Horton: And is this new legislation already a done deal or is it still going through the process?
Jonsdottir: Well since – I am – our task to the government is to change 13 laws in 4 different ministries, it is still in a process. It will probably take a year, a year and a half for all the laws to be implemented, but the good news is that when I got this into the parliament nobody really believed that this could happen. However once it went into voting, it was unanimously voted for, and in Iceland the system is such that the ministers are also parliamentarians, so they all voted for it as well, including the Prime Minister, which is sort of a corollary to the president.
In a body, it's not all going to happen in a day because it is being written in different ministries, but the person who is handling it, or is the taskmaster for this, and will make sure the other ministries are also doing their part of this – they are very well aware of and acquainted with all of the suggestions that we have for legislative change. But I really encourage people, if they want to find out more, to go to our website; it is IMMI.is. And there is an English section with the whole process, the timeline and all the laws that we want to change.
Horton: That's IMMI.is?
Jonsdottir: Yes.
Horton: Ok, now, so you may very well be aware of the fact that there's a new series in the Washington Post about the length and the breadth and the depth of the national security state in America. And in part one, they say there's – let's round up to – a million people public and private that are now at the top-secret access level. So let's say hypothetically that 100,000 of them stole, no, liberated important documents from their masters in the bureaucracies and leaked them to, for example, Wikileaks.org. Could they then flee to Iceland and be protected from extradition by the Icelandic government for their heroic act which may in fact be technically criminal here in the United States?
Jonsdottir: Um, no. They can't flee to Iceland, but they can – if it is stored on Icelandic servers, or Sweden's for that matter – their case would then be taken through that legal system and not the US legal system. And the laws would be in their favor – not as the laws that they are trying to pass in the US about the whistleblowing.
So I think the law is very much – a different aspect of the law – is very much considered to be sort of a safe haven for investigative journalism. And let's say that I am a blogger in China or in Tibet or Sri Lanka, and I want to take a big chance by revealing what is going on. Now I can not – or this law will not ensure that these people risking their lives to bring out the truth – will not be arrested or tortured. But we can assure that the story with this law – that the story that they are willing to risk their lives to publish is not going to be taken down, which is equally important, I think.
But this is not an over-all – this is not a magic bullet. There is still a lot of things that we, both globally and in our individual consciousness need to address, and need to make ourselves aware of, when it comes to all the secrecy that is – if anything – always increasing. But another thing which is very disturbing, and that is all these so-called "gag orders" on journalists – and all these lawyers – it seems to be international lawyers at corporations that focus on going into suing the media corporations about stories that may be tracked back ten years. So they are always pulling out stories about corporations, and their criminal activity out of the historical records. So we are starting to have a very wrong image of our modern-day history if their activities are constantly being taken out and completely erased off the internet.
Horton: Right absolutely, well, it is so important, I think, for – I hope people already recognize and agree on the importance of things like Wikileaks and the kinds of protections you're providing for people who work with institutions like Wikileaks, because as you said, we live in a world of more and more centralization of power, and expansion of power and expansion of secrecy. And there's more and more secret information that's got to be able to get out somewhere at the same time that the press is more and more cowed and doing their job less and less. So it's the supply and demand: we demand Wikileaks and, I'm sorry…
Jonsdottir: And I think one thing that's occurring and that is a very interesting development when it comes to media in general, that citizen journalism is always growing stronger. And because of that, the traditional media is really losing ground. And if they don't start to act differently in the Internet world in particular – because all the media is moving on to the Internet – and there is this transitional period which is so dangerous, so we have to both strengthen those that are in the traditional media that want to bring up news by creating strong platforms for them, protect the platforms for their stories to live on.
Horton: So, this is sort of a technical thing – it's very well said on all the principles there – but I was wondering if you could help us understand, for example, why it takes so long for – or why it is taking so long for the Garani massacre video to be released. It's been rumored and I guess confirmed for months now that Wikileaks is in possession of the Garani video, and people are wondering well, "Go ahead and release it then." Or if it is true, for example that Wikileaks obtained State Department cables from Bradley Manning, as is alleged, we want to see them. What is it that takes so long in the process? Because it says here in this New Yorker article that you really have an inside view of how this works. I was hoping you could help us understand that.
Jonsdottir: Basically I am not a spokesperson for all the other projects that Wikileaks is doing. I did co-produce the "Collateral Murder" in the sense that I put a tremendous amount of work in it. However, maybe they are having, you know because they get so much volume of stuff and some of it can be encrypted and so-forth, so maybe they want to verify if this is indeed what they think it is, just like we did with the Collateral Murder video. When I was working on that we made sure to send journalists off to [Partha] to try to find the children that were discovered in the van and other witnesses to make sure that the credibility of this video could not be put into question. So maybe it has something to do with that, and I think one of the things that I find to be so disturbing about the Bradley Manning case is that there has been no attention in the bigger media about this incredible case. He has been charged with leaking the video and for leaking 60 cables and might be facing up to 50 years in prison. And no journalist and nobody has asked to see how he is. I mean he is only 22.
Horton: Right, they're still holding him in Kuwait.
Jonsdottir: Yes, I really encourage everybody that wants to follow his story to go to the BradleyManning.org website. There is a team of people from various organizations and countries that want to support him in any which way possible, and if you want to write him, or just to try to follow-up what's going on then I really encourage your listeners to support this brave man.
Horton: Very well said, again, thank you very much. Let me see if I can say this well, Birgitta Jonsdottir – nope – Birgitta Jonsdottir – is that better?
Jonsdottir: Uh no. [laughs] It's ok. I'm used to my name being butchered so it really doesn't matter.
Horton: Well it's embarassing for me, but anyway…
Jonsdottir: Good luck with you and thank you for your website and your show. It is very important.
Horton: Well, thank you very much. Well, please tell people where they can look up – oh you already did say it, it's IMMI.is.
Jonsdottir: Also there's a lot of good material if you Google News and write, "Icelandic modern media initiative."
Horton: Ok, great. Thank you so much.
Jonsdottir: Thank you. Have a good one.

If $G$ is a finite non-abelian group where all subgroups are normal, then $$G \cong Q_8 \times A \times B$$ where $A$ is an elementary abelian 2-group (ie, all non-identity elements have order 2), $B$ is abelian of odd order and $Q_8$ is the quaternion group of order 8. A proof can be found in for example Berkovich's Groups of Prime Power Order I believe.
