Edited by Thomas Bedding, F.R.P.S.
The year just terminating has not been unfruitful in photographic progress, and, on the whole, it has perhaps been not an altogether unsatisfactory one to professional photographers, manufacturers, dealers, and the like generally. There is reason to suppose that the industrial applications of photography have an expansive tendency, and that the number of those who take it up as a leisure occupation is not diminishing. We many therefore assume that in its commercial aspects the immediate future of photography is assured of prosperity. But of necessity that has been achieved in those directions during the year it is mainly the function of this brief summary to draw attention.
In January last Professor Röntgen, of Wurzburg, published a paper detailing the results of some experiments with electrically excited radiant matter tubes in a state of high vacuum, and the world was astonished to learn that solid substances were penetrable by the rays proceeding from those tubes, and that 'photographs' could be taken through 'opaque' bodies. Röntgen's experiments were immediately repeated and verified, with what results is now generally known. The phenomena of radiography are perhaps of more direct interest to physicists and medial men than to photographers; the physicists have still to decide precisely what the rays are, and the medical men find them of extreme service in the diagnosis of disease. Since the publication of Röntgen's paper (which will be found printed in the 'Epitome of Progress' at the end of the volume), some minor improvements have been effected in the tubes employed, so enabling sharper results and shorter exposures to be achieved; but, with that exception, as is remarked by a writer elsewhere, radiography is virtually where Röntgen left it in his paper, which also contains the suggestion of the fluorescent screen, that is found so useful for visual shadowgraphy.
As we predicted last year would be the case, this new illuminant is gradually forcing its way into public favour. Some photographers have already adopted it for projection and portrait work with satisfactory results. The manner of utilising the gas is dealt with in some extracts from the writings of trustworthy authorities that are given in the 'Epitome of Progress' and to which the reader is referred.
So far, experience has shown that, used as generated, and in the apparatus commercially designed and sold for the purpose, there is no attendant danger in the employment of acetylene. As much, however, cannot be said for the gas when it is compressed in cylinders, and it is with regret we have read of two fatal accidents occurring through its use. Detailed particulars of the caused of those accidents are, unfortunately, not available for investigation. Once result of them, however, has been to induce the insurance companies to look upon the acetylene light as dangerous, so that some offices decline to grant policies on the use of acetylene for photographic purposes, and it is strongly to be hoped that the companies may have every reason to modify the conditions.
What is called, for want of a better term, animated photography, leapt into public notice early in the year, and as a source of entertainment has been noteworthy. The rapid talking of successive views of moving objects on continuous sensitive bands, and the projection, by similar means, of the positives on to the lantern screen is not by any means new in principle, but it remained for Mr. Acres, Messrs. Lumière, and others, to give practical effect to the system. The apparatus originally employed by these gentlemen is briefly described in the 'Epitome of Progress.' Mechanical and other obstacles have been in the way of a general extension of animated photography during the past season; but with the imminence of special cameras, lanterns, and films, effective in use and reasonable price, it is safe to predict that this interesting branch of work will receive a great fillip during the coming year.
Very little change has to be recorded with regard to photographic processes during the past year. Colour photography has made practically no advance, although the application of the three-colour process to ordinary camera work is likely to be soon heard of. As regards surface printing processes, photographers appear to have not changed their predictions. The newer lenses, however, appear to be coming into greater use. Film photography has engaged some amount of attention, and it is probable that efforts will be followed up to provide a substitute for glass other than celluloid with the requirements of those photographers with whom absence of weight is a desideratum.
This useful Society has pursued its mission of defending photographic copyright, and there can be no doubt that, on the whole, its work has reacted to the benefit of the general body of photographers. It is due to the Photographic Copyright Union that the illustrated press has at last realised that copyright photographs may not with impunity be pirated in the wholesale manner that was once notorious; that a minimum fee for reproduction has been agreed upon by a large number of photographers; and that the rights of photographers in their copyright photographs are as real and as worth defending as the rights of authors, painters, and others.
We have supported the Union throughout its career, and our opinion that all photographers should join it is as firm as heretofore. In the Section of the ALMANAC devoted to Photographic Societies will be found (1) The Copyright Act; and (2) The Forms, Rules, &c., of the Copyright Union. Professional photographers may possibly find this information of service to them.
A reference to the 'Directory of Photographic Societies' will show that the number of these bodies is still on the increase.-The Convention meeting at Leeds was very successful, and some of the funds in hand are, it is satisfactory to note, being applied to the assistance of original research work in photography. The meeting in 1897 is to be held at Great Yarmouth.-The Royal Photographic Society continues to add to its members, and there is no doubt that its Charter and Fellowship scheme have resulted materially to its advantage, and in future years may have important influence in the photographic world.
Since the publication of the last ALMANAC death has dealt less heavily with the photographic world than in some preceding years; but on November 8, last year, and while the ALMANAC, of which he had so long been editor, was passing through the press, our honoured predecessor, Mr. J. Traill Taylor, passed away in America. A full Biography was given of the deceased gentleman in THE
BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY on November 15, 1895, and many of his friends have since subscribed to a fund for the purpose of providing a memorial of him, which is to take the form of an annual lecture on a photographic subject.
Other losses during the year were Mr. Thomas Samuels (March 1), known for his invention applied to hand cameras; Rev. H. J. Palmer (March), a once well-known worker in the North of England, and formerly President of the Liverpool Amateur Photographic Association; Mr. Wm. England (August 11), whose photographic work began in the Daguerreotype days, and who was subsequently noted for his fine Swiss photographs, early instantaneous views, &c.; Dr. P. E. Liesegang; Colonel Lloyd Jackson (long in business at Fishguard as a photographer); Mr. Thomas Keig (a professional photographer, who died while Mayor of Douglas, Isle of Man); Mr. A.J. Melhuish; Mr. Alexander Johnston, of Wick (June 21), &c.

TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 4 June 1821; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18210604-TC-JBW-01; CL 1:359-361.
Edinr, Robertson's Lodgs, 16. Carnegie-st. / 4th June, 1821—
My dear Friend,
If, on opening this paper, you expect to find any traces of that much vaunted list,1 you are about to be somewhat disappointed. Since quitting East Lothian, I have been so little in a condition to collect my ideas, or think seriously about any thing; and it seems withal so presumptuous an attempt in me to act as your tutor at present,—that really you must excuse me for a while. Besides—unless Fortune treat me even worse than usual—I am destined in process of time to know you far more intimately, and so to become far better qualified for contributing advantageously what little is mine to your improvement. Any way, you cannot be at a loss for employment till winter. Robertson and Hume (to be studied with the aid of maps and chronologies and so forth); Watson's Philip II & Philip III; Russel's Modern Europe; Voltaire's pretty little histories; with occasional excursions in the company of Tasso and De Staël—will amply fill up the summer, and very profitably also.2 Observe you are not to read much: not for the gallant Captain's3 reason; but because it will prejudice your health—which I will not allow you ever to endanger on any account.
Noehden's Grammar4 is not to be found in the whole city: so they have sent to London for it; and I fear you cannot have it in less than three weeks. Be patient, however: should the military Musician5 have 'taken a giddiness' and shifted his quarters before that period, I protest I would not give a penny (or rather I would give many, many) to come eastward as far as Haddington myself, and deliver such a lesson on those Saxon roots as you never heard. Positively, I must see you soon—or I shall get into a very absurd state. And then if I should come to visit Jane herself professedly; what would Jane say to it? What would Jane's friends say? Would to Heaven some authorized person would 'force me to go voluntarily!'6
But I forget. It is not of my own concerns, it is of yours I have to write at present. And therefore it is time to introduce the books to your notice, which have caused all this scribbling. The Germany,7 except the first volume, I cannot get—at least for a day or two. The other will perhaps interest you more, at any rate:— There is no hurry in returning either.— I hope you will like Mad. de Staël. She is misty and inconsistent here and there, it is true; she has none of that sprightliness, that bland and sparkling wit, which so gracefully adorns the higher qualities of a young lady I once met with: but if a brilliant imagination, a magnificent intellect, a noble heart, can yield you any delight; then here is for you! Professors of Divinity and other old women think poor Wilhelmina8 crazy,—which is all very just and natural.
Now when you have read these volumes, I pray you to consider if it would be quite contrary to Law—'clean again rules' (as the creature Dougal phrased it)9—to tell me in three words what you think of the Lady de Staël; to say whether, her cousin, the Lady Jane is well and happy; and whether the latter has ever deigned to cast one glance of recollection on those few Elysian hours we spent together lately? Certainly this seems a very simple matter in itself; and taking into view the satisfaction it will confer on a fellow-creature I do not see how you can spend a half-hour better than in performing it. No doubt you may refuse me; you may even forbid me to repeat such questions, however nearly the answer concern me. But it will be very cruel if you do: and even then there will be one unalienable comfort left me—the comfort, that, no man, woman or child can hinder me to cherish 'within the secret cell of the heart,' as long and as tenderly as I please, those sentiments of deep and affectionate interest, which I have thought meet to conceive towards you. Here I am a perfect Sultan, absolute as the Great Solyman10 himself.
But alas! three o'clock is at hand; and this wonderful compound of pedagogy and sentimentality and absurdity must conclude. Excuse my impertinences. You see I never dream of remembering, that, we have not yet been quite twenty years acquainted. It seems as if we had known each other from infancy upwards, and I were simply your elder Brother. You would cut me to the quick of the heart, if you took offence at this. But you will not, I know. Addio, Donna mia cara [Farewell, my dear lady]!
Faithfully Your's, /
Thomas Carlyle.
My best regards to your kind and hospitable Mother. I could love her for her own sake, and she is your mother.
The Milton 11 is from Irving.— For God's sake write to me,—if you can: if not—not; but three lines are all I ask.

Real Salt Lake came into the match on Saturday, April 5 at reigning MLS Cup champion Sporting KC undefeated, solid in all phases of the game -- and ready for revenge.
RSL knew Saturday's game at Sporting Park would be a donnybrook, for you had two teams that were bitter rivals, and didn't like each other as evidenced by the tweets players sent the week leading up to the rematch.
But when all seemed lost for RSL and it had learned two key players -- goalkeeper Nick Rimando and defender Tony Beltran -- were unable to go due to knocks suffered in the U.S. draw vs. Mexico, other players stepped up and filled in admirably.
Real Salt Lake was able to weather the storm, so to speak -- and the sprinklers that Sporting Park groundskeepers turned on just before the game and at halftime to make life more difficult for RSL's possession-based attack.
All of it mattered not as the claret-and-cobalt squad got a much-deserved 0-0 draw versus the team it lost to at MLS Cup. It wasn't the prettiest of results -- and the RSL attack did next to nothing all game.
But just like the MLS Cup, neither team gave the other any slack -- and it was a rematch for the ages.
Here is how Real Salt Lake avenged its MLS Cup loss to Sporting KC.
Jeff Attinella
Being thrown into action due to a minor injury starter Nick Rimando suffered in the U.S.' midweek draw vs. Mexico, Attinella more than made up for Rimando's absence.
His 11th minute kick save on former teammate/now nemesis Dom Dwyer was just the beginning.
All told, he had nine saves -- most of which bordered on spectacular. On the ground, in the air, it didn't matter because Attinella was up to the task.
Nat Borchers
Being one of two starting defenders from last week's win over Toronto FC who was still healthy this weekend, Borchers was solid in the RSL back line.
He even made a kick save of his own when Attinella was forced off his line to preserve RSL's road point in the 63rd minute.
On a night when Chris Schuler struggled somewhat, Borchers was there to pick up the pieces.
Rich Balchan
Balchan has been receiving rave reviews during training and so, after it was determined that Tony Beltran would be unable to go Saturday vs. Sporting KC, Balchan would get his first-ever start for Real Salt Lake.
He did not disappoint in his debut, going the full 90 minutes and then some as he filled in admirably for Beltran on the right wing.
Abdoulie Mansally
Pressed into action because of a groin injury to Chris Wingert, Mansally shored up the left wing with his presence on Saturday.
He did the little things similar to Balchan on the opposite wing to keep Sporting KC's potent attack in check.
Even under extreme duress from KC forward Sal Zizzo, it did little to deter Mansally, whose physicality and athleticism frustrated Sporting KC throughout.
Ned Grabavoy
Grabavoy was Saturday's unsung hero, doing most of the dirty work on a left wing besieged by Sporting KC for most of the game.
While Balchan provided off-the-ball runs into KC's defense at times during the game, Grabavoy -- and Mansally behind him -- found they were under attack for most of the game.
KC forward Sal Zizzo went at the RSL left side every chance he got. But the left side did its job -- and so did Grabavoy.

Senior Caroline Thornton won her singles match and teamed up with Caroline Magnusson for a doubles victory to lead TU past Samford, 4-1.
March 20, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane's 39th-ranked women's team ran its home win streak to six straight and got back into the win column today with a 4-1 victory over Samford at the City Park Pepsi Center.
Playing in its first match as one of the nation's Top-40 ranked squads, the Green Wave wouldn't consider a letdown on this day. Tulane dashed out of the gates early by taking two of three doubles matches for the all-important doubles point for a quick 1-0 advantage and then took three of four singles matches in straight sets to put away the Bulldogs.
Tulane improved to 11-6 overall and moved its home record to 7-1 this spring, while Samford dropped to 6-9 overall this season.
"Today was a solid effort from the team," Tulane head coach Terri Sisk said. "At this point in the season, we are looking to keep our momentum going, stay healthy and focus on playing to win. I'm proud that we are looking strong and are now beginning our preparation for our Florida swing with two tough matches ahead."
In doubles, senior Emma Helisten and freshman Ipek Birol teamed up to shutout Samford's Jessica Northcutt and AnnMarie Lyon, 8-0, at No. 3, while TU's senior duo of Caroline Magnusson and Caroline Thornton moved up to the top spot and claimed an 8-2 win over Kristin Lewis and Emily Mallory to capture the point.

Paelocon whack job Justin Raimondo is known for jumping off the deep end. Dennis (his real name) once wrote an article claiming how better off the world would be with Japan winning WWII . Now he puts on his pseudo-history expertise and claims FDR knew that Japan was going to attack pearl harbor, but let it happened.
The truth is that, by the winter of 1941, the Americans had decrypted the various Japanese military and diplomatic codes: President Roosevelt, key members of his cabinet, and top military leaders, including Gen. George C. Marshall, US Army chief of staff, had access to this intelligence, which was intercepted, decoded, and transmitted directly to them. We know this because Robert Stinnett, in researching his seminal book, Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor, obtained heretofore unknown documents under the Freedom of Information Act, which trace the intelligence stream from interception stations throughout the Pacific to the 36 Americans cleared to look through what was, in effect, a window into Japanese plans and preparations for the Pearl Harbor attack. The President and 35 other Americans in top political and military circles knew where the attack was to take place, they knew when it was to take place, and they watched it unfold, step by step, with full knowledge of its import.
It is widely remarked that even on the eve of Pearl Harbor, the vast majority of the American people stubbornly resisted efforts to drag us into the European war. The Court Historians responsible for constructing the FDR cult would have had great difficulty denying the pattern of presidential prevarication that had us effectively fighting the Axis powers long before war was officially declared. So instead of taking on this impossible task, which would have been laughed out of court, they openly valorized him for his expertise at the art of deception. Thomas Bailey, who taught history at Stanford University for 40 years and authored The American Pageant, long a standard US history textbook, extolled the liar and his lie in his 1948 book, The Man in the Street: The Impact of American Public Opinion on Foreign Policy:
"Franklin Roosevelt repeatedly deceived the American people during the period before Pearl Harbor. He was like the physician who must tell the patient lies for the patient's own good…. Because the masses are notoriously shortsighted and generally cannot see danger until it is at their throats, our statesmen are forced to deceive them into an awareness of their own long-run interests."
Of course it hasn't, and for a very good reason: the myth of the "sneak attack" on Pearl Harbor is a pillar of the "Greatest Generation" narrative that is the foundation of our interventionist foreign policy. That storyline goes something like this: we "saved" the world from the Axis powers, overcoming our "isolationist" inclinations, and went on to create a "world order" in which we established, forevermore, our duty and destiny to police the four corners of the earth and stand up for Goodness, Justice, and Fair Play. Now that we know how FDR lied us into that war, however, the picture becomes a bit more complicated – and certainly less favorable to an American president described by Gen. Douglas MacArthur as a man who "never told the truth where a lie would suffice."
Justin (Dennis) Raimondo is a delusional fool. Luckily he has no clout and is in the same category as Charles Johnson. I bet Raimondo thinks 9/11 was an inside job.

How to Sneak Food Into Your Room
In movies, commercials, and TV shows, kids are always seen getting caught for sneaking food to their rooms. This doesn't have to be a reality! With these steps, you can sneak a snack into your room without anyone having to know!
1Walk down to the kitchen, check if anybody that can get you in trouble is around. If you are often awake later at night while your parents are asleep, that is a good time. In case you accidentally wake anyone, disguise the food raid as a bathroom visit; flush the toilet on your way back. You can also try to pull it off as you were grabbing a glass of water if you have a cup in your hand.
2Find out if you are going to need big pockets. A bathrobe or hoodie helps.
3Walk into the kitchen casually, singing something quietly, like the Class of 3000 theme song.
4Make sure you sing a song that you often sing or one that is casual. If it's unusual your parents are most likely prone to coming in the room to tell you what a wonderful singer you are or to tell you to be quiet.
5Grab it quickly, stuff it in your pocket, and walk back to your room casually.
6Remember that if it's something like a granola bar then it's easy to just stuff in your pocket. If it's something like potato chips or pretzels from a larger bag, then get a glass (that you can't see through) and tell your parents your getting water. Quickly fill the glass with the chips/whatever and walk away casually.
7Try to stash up on food over time, having the extra packet of chips in your room is a good idea. A good time to do this is while your parents are out.
8Remember that after you're done eating, if you didn't finish, hide it somewhere in your room like in your underwear drawer or somewhere only you will know where it is. A good place few people look in is under the bottom drawer in a stack of drawers.
9Work on being quick if you have nosy parents whom like checking up on you. Sit near a place where you can shove the food under quickly. Places such as under a desk with curtain underneath it, or underneath a bed are convenient hiding places. Also, in some beds, if you lift the corner of your mattress, you get this little place made of metal, like a little room. You can't really hide a lot in it, but it's good for candy bags. Also, if you have a bookshelf in your room, you can stash your food inside there by grabbing it and pulling, then put the food behind and push the bookshelf back so that it looks like the beginning a simple bookshelf not used for secret stashes or food swiping.
10Tuck something particularly flat in the waistband of your pants or skirt (preferably in the back). Make sure to walk without crinkling the wrapper but do it casually. If done right, you can sneak candy right under you family's noses, and no one will be the wiser! This will work like a charm.
11Grab a paper towel for something more complicated such as dry cereal or crackers or chips, put the snack in it, and gather the ends into a little bag type thing. Crumpling it up a little might make it less suspicious. You can just tell someone you're throwing a piece of trash away if they ask.
12Put your snack into a cup. Of course, the cup should not be see-through. Also, make sure you can't see the snack easily above the cup. This is particularly useful for sneaking things like fruit, cupcakes, chips, almost everything. But be warned, this only works if you are allowed to have drinks in your room.
Community Q&A
Unanswered Questions
What happens if you want to get sweets but you never go down to get water or something
What if you get caught
How do you Walk really quietly?
What if it is in something noisy that you have to open!
What if you are at a pool and your parents are right there?
Ask a Question
- Don't grab food that is very popular to your roommates/parents, if it is food they really like, they will notice every little amount missing. Pick food that you like, but that is not so popular with the people you share the fridge with.
- If you are sneaking a midnight snack, get a cup out just in case. If you hear anyone getting up, pretend you are getting water.
- Try to avoid grabbing food with noisy wrappers. If you do, do it slowly and quietly.
- Make sure to throw away any wrappers or put away any dishes you might have used.
- A good tip is to go and actually eat something, and when placing your plate by the sink, to sneak something out. That way any suspicion of you sneaking food would be lowered, since you just ate. You can eat a small amount, or none at all, and save it for later.
- Before your operation locate all creaky boards on your way on some sort of map you might want to lock up.
- It is good if nobody is in the room.
- Do this early but quietly so you don't get caught.
- If you hide a stash of food in your room, make sure it is not in the hiding place for too long so it doesn't rot and/or get moldy.
- Crawl on your hands and knees if you have to so tripping is less likely and if you have pets (like a large dog), you could easily be mistaken as the pet in the dark.
- It's a very good idea to steal a lot of food. When you know the coast is clear, steal a lot of food so that you have a stash when you can't get more food. Don't steal too much of the same thing, or someone will notice.
- If you have a drink of water with you, slosh it around a lot to conceal the sound of crinkly wrappers, etc.
- If you want to get into the refrigerator for snacks, make sure you open the doors very, very slowly. Be sure to close them extremely softly, too, so no one hears!
- This will be an easier task to achieve if you live with one parent, but it can easily be done with both parents at home.
- If you decide to stash food, make sure it's nonperishable, or at least isn't refrigerated.
- Slipping some socks on your feet helps dull the noise of your footsteps.
- Never try to steal food with a sibling around. They might snitch!
- When sneaking peanuts, crack them before you go to bed then put them in a Ziplock bag/cup and hide it in your drawer.
- If you are going to have some leftover cake while your parents are in bed before you go to bed open your fridge a crack so if your fridge is noisy when you open it will not be as noisy when you open it to get whatever you want. But remember if you do this consistently then you run the risk of raising the internal temperature of the fridge making it harder to cool down everything inside. Bacteria can grow very well on "cold" items when they are not kept at 40 degrees or colder.
- Set aside a secret place for your stash. You need to be sure that this area won't be discovered by other people.
- Wearing socks can be very helpful especially for hardwood floor because it prevents your barefoot sticking/making noise or your shoes making clunking sounds on the floor.
- Be sure to hide the wrappers.
- If you keep the hidden wrappers in your bed too long, cockroaches or ants will be in your room and your parents might get suspicious.
- If you do this during the day, be careful, because everyone is awake.
- Do not ask your parents to buy more of same food, they will become suspicious and wonder when you ate all those boxes of Twinkies.
- If you eat too much be warned: You may find it hard to eat the vegetables your mom cooked for you and there may be awkward questions. Try to save the snacking until after dinner.
- You may get caught if you are too loud.
- Bear in mind that your parents may have a reason for not permitting food to be eaten in your room. Think about this before disobeying them.
- If you are caught, your parents may lecture you severely, and you could lose your dessert privileges.

Economic Update
July labor market reports contained good news when one looks beneath the headline numbers. A drop in industry employment was driven by the winding down of temporary U.S. Census work. Private sector employment expanded in six out of the first seven months of 2010, and July's gain was the best since January.
- Even though California lost 9,400 nonfarm jobs in July, the winding down of temporary Census work was the principal cause. Total private payroll jobs grew by 13,700. (Source: EDD)
- Five industry sectors added jobs in July, with education and health services leading the way, rising 11,600. Other services gained 5,900; trade, transportation, and utilities, 1,400; construction, 1,400; and information, 700.
- Five sectors lost jobs. Reduced employment by the Census accounted for most of the losses. Government employment fell 23,100, with Federal government employment falling 20,100. Professional and business services employment declined 3,000; leisure and hospitality, 2,100; manufacturing, 2000; and mining and logging, 200. There was no change in financial activities.
- Year-over-year job losses are gradually moderating. Industry employment was down 0.7 percent in July from a year earlier, which was the smallest loss since April 2008.
- On a year-over-year basis, employment rose 35,500 in education and health services; 22,800 in professional and business services; 6,200 in information; 700 in other services; and 100 in mining and logging.
- Over the year, employment fell by 54,300 in construction; 37,200 in trade, transportation, and utilities; 32,600 in government; 21,000 in manufacturing; 12,100 in financial activities; and 12,000 in leisure and hospitality.
- The state's unemployment rate held steady at 12.3 percent in July. The number of people unemployed in California was up 7,600 over the month, and up 100,400 compared to July of last year.
- Although home building improved significantly over the year, the July pace was still far below its pre-recession rate. Residential permits were issued at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 50,250 units, up nearly 45 percent from a year earlier. Single-family permits were down 5 percent, while multi-family permitting was up 150 percent from an exceptionally low pace set in July 2009. New home permitting during the first seven months of 2010 was up nearly 29 percent from the same months of 2009.
- Nonresidential construction permitting rose 8.6 percent in July from a year earlier—its third consecutive year-over-year gain. For the first seven months of 2010 as a whole, nonresidential permitting was down 1.4 percent from the same months of 2009.
- Existing home sales slowed in July for the second consecutive month in response to the expiration of the Federal home buyers' tax credit at the end of April. Sales of existing, single-family detached homes totaled 440,370 units at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate. Despite the slowdown in sales, home prices held up. The median price of existing, single-family homes sold in July, $314,850, was 10.4 percent higher than a year earlier
- As would be expected with the slowdown in sales, the unsold inventory index rose a full point in July to 5.8 months. The median number of days needed to sell a home also lengthened, rising to 44.2 days, an 11 percent increase from a year earlier. (Source: California Association of Realtors)
Monthly Cash Report
Preliminary General Fund agency cash for August was $245 million below the 2010-11 May Revision forecast of $6.648 billion. Year-to-date revenues are $12 million above the expected $11.725 billion.
- Personal income tax revenues to the General Fund were $120 million above the month's forecast of $2.946 billion. Withholding receipts were $160 million higher than the projected level of $2.838 billion. Other receipts were $46 million below the anticipated $334 million and refunds came in $8 million under the estimate of $173 million. Proposition 63 requires that 1.76 percent of total monthly personal income tax collections be transferred to the Mental Health Services Fund (MHSF). The amount transferred to the MHSF in August was $2 million above the month's estimate of $53 million. Year-to-date General Fund income tax revenues are $69 million above estimate.
- Sales and use tax receipts were $209 million below the month's forecast of $2.875 billion. The shortfall was primarily due to cash flow timing, largely offsetting the July gain, as was expected. Since August cash includes the remaining portion of the final payment for the second quarter sales, which was due July 31, July and August need to be looked at together. August receipts also include the first prepayment for third quarter sales. Year-to-date, the sales tax cash is $3 million above forecast.
- Corporation tax revenues were $148 million below the month's estimate of $129 million. Prepayments were $24 million lower than the forecast of $108 million and other payments were $20 million below the $102 million that was expected. Refunds were $104 million above the projected level of $81 million largely due to cash flow as higher refunds due to audit activity offset refunds which were anticipated in prior months. Year-to-date revenues are $61 million below estimate.
- Total Vehicle License Fee General Fund revenue reported in August was $6 million lower than the estimate of $134 million. Year-to-date revenues are $9 million below forecast.
- Revenues from the insurance tax were $94 million below the month's estimate of $363 million. This shortfall is due to timing and has been recovered in early September collections; the August cash includes the third quarterly prepayment, which was due September 1. Estate, alcoholic beverage, and tobacco taxes came in $4 million below the $37 million that was expected. Receipts from pooled money interest income and "other" revenues were $96 million above the forecast of $164 million.

He loved the extra attention and photo shoot too of course. He's such a sweet kitty and a cute little snuggle bug. It's hard to believe that it's been 17 years since John rescued him from the streets. We're lucky to have him in our family!! We love you Snowy! Happy Birthday!!

I didn't know they offered classes in hot and heavy swing at Juilliard. Shows you how much things have changed since the days when Miles Davis battled with William Vacchiano (who later commented that Miles was merely "a decent student"). Conservatory graduate Sharel Cassity plays with the kind of fire that normally comes from the school of hard knocks where no degrees are given. She certainly burns up this oft-played modern jazz anthem, and shows her mastery of the bop vocabulary. Even more than the licks, her devil-may-care attitude stands out here. And I especially like her tone, which is sweeter than one typically find with alto speed demons. In truth, her conception of the horn is definitely pre-Trane—which you might consider as blasphemy or find refreshing, depending on your allegiances. But if you believe that musical excellence can be achieved without copious borrowings from the Slonimsky Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, Cassity is an artist you will want to hear.

Big Green Limousine is an original,
four-piece, hard rock band from the Philadelphia suburb of Phoenixville.
Big Green Limousine's live show is a flurry of hard rock pop songs,
laced with a driving, melodic, punk edge. Music, stage props, and the
occasional costume rental have made BGL one of the area's premiere hard
rock acts. Every performance is different from the last, due in part to
the band's absolute demand for attention. Irreverent humor, audience
participation, and loud, fast music are all staples of a BGL show. Their
enthusiasm for performing has enabled them to sell thousands of demos,
t-shirts, and other merchandise in nine different states.
To further promote the Big Green Limousine experience, the band decided
to enter the studio and cut their first album, 40's, Beef Jerky and
Porn. This recording combined heavy alternative with the snappy, melodic
attitude of skate punk. To wash it down, BGL introduced the big green
lager, a micro-brewed, German-style lager produced by Chester County
Brewing Co. 40's, Beef Jerky and Porn also brought with it the personal
selection of "You Should Know" by Dave Mirra ("The Dave Mirra Show") on
Big Green Limousine issued their latest release, Title Track Conspiracy,
in April 2003, on drp records. A continuation of their sound evolution,
Title Track Conspiracy picks up where 40s, Beef Jerky and Porn left
off-with "Realization" as the grab point. Their first video production,
"Realization" was released at the Millennium Music Conference in
Harrisburg and their high-powered on-stage antics. BGL will soon be
heard by ears nationwide when their single is featured in an MTV BMX
video segment from the show "Made," which airs on Saturday, August 2,
2003. The new album also features "Come Through the Wall" and "I Found a
Home," delineating BGL's characteristic style. "Driving guitar melodies
with just the right hint of rawk…this project shows even more
continuity than the last in that the songs flow together better and stay
with you like garlic bread." –Chris Noecker
Look for Big Green Limousine to be touring regionally this fall. Title
Track Conspiracy is currently being serviced to college radio, FM
specialty shows, video outlets, and strip clubs.

Proposal submission deadline: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 12:00 noon EDT. Proposals submitted after this deadline will not be considered.
**ADVISORY: PRM strongly recommends submitting your proposal early to allow time to address any difficulties that may arise. **
If your organization is not registered with the government-wide System for Award Management (SAM) and/or does not have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, the organization will need to obtain a DUNS number and then register with SAM before submitting a proposal through Grants.gov. Note that SAM registration must be updated annually. The SAM and DUNS registration process may take several weeks so organizations should plan accordingly. For further information at http://www.state.gov/j/prm/releases/releases/2013/204769.htm
Proposed Program Start Dates: September 10-30, 2013
Eligible Applicants: (1) Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (2) Nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; and (3) International Organizations. International Organizations (IOs) should not submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement. Rather IOs such as UN agencies and other Public International Organizations (PIOs) that are seeking funding for programs relevant to this announcement should contact the relevant PRM Officer (as listed below) on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
Duration of Activity: 12 months
In funding a project for one year, PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of donors to ensure long-term funding possibilities.
Current Funding Priorities for Syrian Refugees in Turkey:
PRM will prioritize funding for proposed NGO activities that best meet the Bureau's priorities for protection of and assistance to Syrian refugees in towns and cities (outside of camps) in Turkey. Sectors for funding are identified below. Coordination with Turkish government authorities and UNHCR as well as with UN agencies and other NGOs active in the same sector is essential.
(a) Proposed activities should primarily support the "non-camp" Syrian refugee population in Turkey. Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees.
(b) Proposals must focus on one or more of the following sectors or subsectors:
o Psychosocial Support including but not limited to trauma counseling, conflict-mitigation, youth groups and activities, women's groups and activities, and inclusion support for vulnerable groups, including the disabled. Proposals should adhere to the IASC Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, articulate how beneficiaries are identified, and explain previous coordination with other mental health providers, including through joint training; efforts to improve local capacity to provide adequate mental healthcare; the extent to which the NGO is able to utilize local organizations/resources to meet the mental healthcare needs of its beneficiaries; and an overview of the most prevalent mental health needs among the displaced Syrian population and how the NGO intends to address them. Proposals should demonstrate how clinical services for survivors of gender-based violence are incorporated into the project and should adhere to the IASC Guidelines on Gender-Based Violence.
o Prevention of and Response to Gender-based Violence (GBV): PRM encourages proposals that work to prevent and respond to GBV, including by building GBV response capacity. Prevention efforts may take into consideration the risks faced by groups vulnerable to GBV and associated needs to mitigate those risks.
o Child Protection including but not limited to child-friendly spaces and support to unaccompanied minors and separated children.
o Assistance to meet basic human needs on an emergency basis or facilitate self-support of vulnerable cases.
o Helping Build Bridges between Communities through supporting the collective efforts and cooperation of host and refugee communities in assistance and community service activities, recreation and information dissemination.
(c) Health Sector Standard Indicators Pilot:
Proposals focusing on health in non-camp settings must include a minimum of one of the six following indicators and should try to include as many of the other indicators as are relevant:
NGO proposals that seek to fund health service provision may also include the following indicators if appropriate:
Proposals should also include their own custom indicators in addition to the standard indicator(s).
(d) Proposals must have a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and include at least one outcome or impact indicator per objective; objectives should be clearly linked to the sectors.
(e) Proposals must adhere to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance. See PRM's General NGO Guidelines for a complete list of sector-specific standards.
(f) PRM will accept proposals from any NGO working in the above mentioned sectors although, given budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate any or all of:
(g) For an NGO's proposal to be considered, the proposing entity and/or its proposed, implementing sub-awardee(s) must be legally registered to operate as NGO or not-for-profit entities in Turkey or be currently engaged with the Government of Turkey in the registration process. Proposals must include close coordination with UNHCR as lead agency in the UN effort. They must also incorporate mechanisms and plans for coordination with Turkish government authorities, other UN agencies and other NGOs active in the same sector to avoid duplication of effort, fill gaps, and, where possible, build synergies. Proposed project activity should be consistent with the goals of the UN Regional Response Plan for Syrian Refugees and thus be supportive of the Government of Turkey's humanitarian response to the Syria crisis. It should not/not set up an international service parallel to that provided by the Turkish government.
Funding Limits: Project proposals must not be less than $500,000 and not be more than $2 million, or they will be disqualified. As stated in PRM's General NGO Guidelines, PRM looks favorably on cost-sharing efforts and seeks to support projects with a diverse donor base and/or resources from the submitting organization.
Proposal Submission Requirements: Proposals must be submitted via Grants.gov. See "Applicant Resources" page on Grants.gov for complete details on requirements (http://www.grants.gov/applicants/app_help_reso.jsp). Please also note the following highlights:

Every person that crosses your path has dignity and value."
Title: University of Washington School of Law student
Location: Seattle, Wash.
After earning a double major with honors in English and Psychology from Gonzaga, Andrea joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Philadelphia, where she was instrumental in creating Death Penalty Awareness Week in conjunction with Amnesty International. While with the JVC, Andrea worked for a group called Witness to Innocence, which is the country's only organization composed of, by and for exonerated death row survivors and their loved ones.

- Washington, D.C. Chapter member
- Philadelphia Alumni Chapter member
- Gonzaga Student Body Association President
- Gonzaga's first Rhodes scholarship finalist

"These men know what it's like to feel invisible and forgotten," she said. "I heard of suffering, blatant injustice, torture and loss – life stories that are infuriating, extraordinary and true. And they come from the mouths of men who have practiced more forgiveness, survived more despair and exuded more grace than anyone I've ever known."
Andrea was one of five people chosen to receive the prestigious 2011 Gates Public Service Law Scholarship to attend the University of Washington School of Law. In exchange for the full scholarship, she will dedicate five years to public service law upon graduating. The scholarship allows law graduates to move directly into the public service work they love.
Prior to becoming a full-time law student, Andrea worked as a caregiver at Joseph's House, an AIDS hospice, during her second year of service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Washington, D.C.

Dean's Lists and Chancellor's Lists are academic honors published each semester to recognize student academic achievement. The Community & Technical College Office of the Dean publishes a Dean's List each semester which includes all eligible students with a 3.5 GPA and above.
The Office of the Dean also publishes a list of graduates each semester in celebration of this tremendous milestone for our students.
To be eligible for the Dean's List, a student must be an admitted undergraduate degree/certificate-seeking student enrolled in at least 12 UAA credits graded with academic letter grades and must have earned a GPA of at least 3.50 for the semester.
Regardless of the number of credits a student is enrolled in, temporary grades of I (incomplete) or DF (deferred) will prevent a student from being eligible for the Dean's List. Graduate level courses will not be included for calculation of the Dean's List.
This CTC Dean's List is inclusive of students who are also eligible for the UAA Chancellor's List with a 4.0 GPA. The CTC Dean does not publish a Chancellor's List, which is the purview of the UAA Office of the Chancellor. Qualified students interested in seeking documentation of both honors should contact the UAA Office of the Registrar.

A Munchkin baby has an open mouth that is just waiting for a pacifier or small thumb to suck for comfort. Take her delicate foot or little hand in yours and you can even feel the precious little wrinkles that were so carefully sculpted into the soft vinyl to be realistic. This baby is the size of a newborn at 19 inches and she weighs just 3.5 pounds. Make your own little one happy with her very own baby to dress up, play with, snuggle with and show off!

You've done all of your long training runs with a Camelbak, a FuelBelt or a handheld water bottle carrier strapped to each hand. Should you try to carry your own water during a marathon? Here's tip number 3 for how NOT to set a marathon PR: Don't try to carry your own water supply.
Water is extremely heavy. Each liter weighs approximately 2.2 pounds. Carrying extra weight takes more energy, adding minutes (not seconds) to your race time. According to Matt Fitzgerald, author of Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance:
"One study on the effects of weight on running performance found that the addition of 5 pounds of weight to the body reduced running performance in a 12-minute time trial by 5 percent."
Of course, becoming extremely dehydrated can cause you to completely implode too. What's a runner to do?
Drinking water on the go can be challenging. A lot of times you spill more than you ingest. There are also risks to making your way to the side of the road to grab a cup of sports drink: tripping, slipping, missing the hand off. But if you're trying to set a marathon PR, the benefits of using the water or sports drink supplied along the course outweigh the negatives.
If you really have a difficult time drinking and running, consider carrying a straw. All you need to do is cut a drinking straw so it's seven to eight inches long. When you get to the water stop grab your drink, pinch the cup in the middle to make a spout and minimize spillage, put the straw into either end, and drink. Try it at home first to see if it works for you.
A straw weighs less than an ounce. It can easily be carried in your hand or waistband. Straws are cheap, and it's simple to carry an extra in case you drop one.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 26 January 1820; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18200126-TC-MAC-01; CL 1:225-226.
Edinr26th January 1820.
My dear Mother,
Tho' you have not favoured me with a line, this great while; yet as I have still a few minutes left, I take the opportunity thus afforded me of sending you some small account of my proceedings.
You will doubtless think me a very trustless person for taking no farther notice of the philanthropic gazette, which I promised to get for you. The truth is, the poor drivelling bookseller, about whom I spoke, hampered & hummed so piteously last time I broached the subject, that I took compassion on his indecision and left the subject at rest. I am very sorry that you should be disappointed in this matter: but after all, I do not think very highly of the gazette in question; and the Repository seems to be a better book in several respects.1 If you want any publication that I can procure do not fail to tell me, and it shall be forth-coming. Anything that I can ever do to serve you must lie far behind what I have owed to you since the earliest days of my existence.
The cakes you sent came in good season, their predecessors having been concluded two or three days ago. I was also glad to see the butter; for the first excellent pot came to an end soon after Farish's [Farries'?] last visit to this city. The stuff which they sell here under the name of butter has few titles, often, to that honourable epithet. The main ingredient is sea-salt; the rest a yellow sour-tasted substance, which whether it ever actually existed in the shape of milk, I cannot determine.— I am likewise obliged by the pieces of meat: but tho' I have sent home the meal-poke, its contents are not exhausted—a portion of them yet remains, in some jar or other, for future consumption.
Having now discussed these small matters, I must proceed to make some enquiries about your actual situation. And first of health—I entreat you, my dear Mother, to be careful of that greatest of blessings. Do not expose yourself on any account in this intemperate weather: you are not calculated to stand it. Indeed its effects are pernicious to any one; but much more to one in your situation. When you write, I expect to hear very minutely about every thing pertaining to you. Do you ever recollect our evening-meals, in the little room, during the last, to me unusual but not unhappy summer?
I have already told the callants [youngsters] that I am in a good state of health; therefore I need not enlarge upon this point. My way of life is very simple. I see few acquaintances; those I might see are not without good qualities, but their conversation cannot benefit m[e] greatly: so I devote my time to reading—all but two or three difft portions of it which are daily spent in walking. Whether I shall succeed in this undertaking of law, must depend on several circumstances. Providence, as you have often told me, will regulate them. Meanwhile let no malignant person put you in fear about my future destiny. With health, which I hope to enjoy, and with a frugal disposition, which I am pretty sure of enjoying, there is no room to fear.— You must write to me whenever you can find time. Remember me to my Father and all the rest about home.
I remain, / My dear Mother, / Your's most affectionately /
Thos Carlyle.
I have been scribbling with so bad a pen that you will scarcely be enabled to read the inclosed observations. I have (or rather it has) blotted several passages too—but Jack will help you.

Newly-appointed Secretary-General of the Supreme Commission for Tourism Prince Sultan Bin Salman Bin Abdul Aziz gave a lecture entitled 'Riyadh: Arab Cultural Capital for 2000 and its Urban Heritage' at the Information Center of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in London yesterday. Attending the event were Arab and British personalities and members of the diplomatic corps as well as the general public. Introducing Prince Sultan, Saudi Ambassador to the United Kingdom and Ireland Dr. Ghazi Al-Gosaibi praised his achievements, in the study of ancient architecture as well as in his experiences as an astronaut.
In his speech, Prince Sultan said that the City of Riyadh came into prominence following its retaking in 1902 by then-Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Abdelrahman Al-Saud. Pointing to the old historical photographs on display, he referred to the characteristic adobe buildings of the time, and described how the city has developed over the past century from a small, thinly-populated walled enclave to a sprawling modern city of some four million inhabitants. Riyadh, he said, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.
Stressing that the cultural heritage has been preserved, while not impeding the path of progress, Prince Sultan declared himself "a contemporary man who is accustomed to dealing with the most sophisticated technology". Saudi Arabia, he said, "believes in change for the sake of progress, and not for the sake of change". He recalled observing from the space shuttle how small the world is, and reflected on how important is the preservation of architectural treasures "which are a link between the past and the present".
Prince Sultan described Riyadh's architectural heritage as deriving from the environment as well as Islam and social traditions, citing a hadith that the Prophet Muhammad forbade the cutting down of trees for use in war. He went on to praise the Kingdom's ongoing program preserving ancient mosques, and the authentic restoration of Dirayya [the original capital of the Saudi State].

BANGUI (Reuters) - Central African Republic's army halted a rebel advance towards the capital Bangui on Friday, deploying an attack helicopter alongside ground troops to stop the insurgents' southward push, a senior regional military source said.
"The rebel column, which was headed south, was stopped by an aircraft ... an attack helicopter," the source told Reuters. "The rebels have not reached Bangui. We do not know where they are."

Battle of The Beasts
- 24 November 2013 09:51
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
Today's clash with Tottenham could turn out to be a beastly affair.
Alvaro Negredo, recently christened 'The Beast' by City fans will come up against Spurs midfielder Sandro – also nicknamed The Beast – and of the two rivals, whoever wins their personal battle may also help their side to three points this afternoon.
It's likely they won't be stalking each other, however – there will be no beast-off as such – because Sandro only has eyes for a midfield duel with Yaya Toure while Negredo will look to outshine Lilywhites striker Roberto Soldado - a rival for a Spain World Cup spot.
Let's begin with Sandro. Matt Law in the Sunday Mirror writes: "Yaya has been warned he faces a 'Beasting' today from Tottenham star Sandro.
"Brazilian Sandro claims he was nicknamed Beast by the Spurs fans because he wants to 'run and kick everyone.'
"And the 24-year-old is relishing the prospect of going up against Manchester City powerhouse Toure at Eastlands.
"Asked how he feels about facing Toure, Sandro flexed his muscles for reporters and said: 'Let's go, I'm ready. He is strong, but I like challenges.'
"Sandro then described how he plans to overpower Toure by pretending to do press-ups and adding: 'I prepare in the changing room, let's go!
'I feel good when people sing and the guys call me Beast. I want to run and kick everyone. The nickname started because I started to kick everyone in games. When I jumped with another player, I would win and this is how it started.'"
Hmmm... run and kick everyone? Duly noted - no doubt - by today's match officials! And while nobody doubts Sandro's effectiveness, Yaya, as we know, can look after himself.
Elsewhere, Squawka.com have a fascinating analysis of international rivals Negredo and Soldado.
Illustrated with various charts and graphs, Tim Simon looks at how bath Spaniards have settled to life in the Premier League, writing: "As a result of Soldado dropping deeper, he has created 15 chances himself compared to Negredo's eight but this doesn't mean much when you consider Spurs' measly team tally of nine league goals in 11 games.
"Negredo's shot to goal conversion rate (23.5%) also trumps Soldado's (18.2%) but the Spurs man has managed to hit the target with 55% of his shots compared to his counterparts 47%.
"The early season form of the duo can be summed up by the fact that Negredo has managed to nail down a place in the Spain squad whilst Soldado has been dropped from the squad completely.
"As these two meet on Sunday, all the pressure is on Spurs' £26million man to find the goal-scoring touch that saw the North Londoners invest so heavily on him in the summer."

Boxart scan request
Would it be possible for anyone to scan the original box art for JK and MOTS? I would very much appreciate the art in atleast 300dpi.
2 Attachment(s)
This is the best I can do for ya. I wish I had the original artwork myself. Anyone have the box handy and a scanner?
There's also a LA cover art collection assembled over at MixnMojo.
I personally wish they would have sticked with the original concept box art. I would kill for a hi res of that.
unfortunately, these are not large enough. I am looking for something into the 3000+ pixal range. Thanks though.
If this is for a pirate bootleg, forget it...
Not that you would do such a thing, of course! The original artwork is hard to scan because it has a metallic finish. Try the CD insert artwork instead.
There's also the cool (but not quite so cool as the original) CGI first person "vs. Vader" box art of the set that came with MotS.
the purpose for the scans is actually to recreate DVD cases for the originals
like these:
Anachronox! there's a great Ion Storm game that got screwed over.
Fair enough. I've wanted to do something like that for my Saturn/Dreamcast games for awhile now. Of course there is always the option to just make them "letterbox" style (don't stretch the image, just put black or some other color to fill in the gaps).
PS: Rhett, that ultra cool image on the concept box is found in the game installation graphics, which you could theoretically capture with print screen and stretch to full size (it wouldn't be very high res though, which means fuzzy or jaggies).
Kurgan, that site I posted links at actually has almost every dreamcast game in DVD case format, it's all very high quality too!
