Preliminary actions continue in Downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the Federal Courthouse late this afternoon. This regarding the 19 year old Edmond, Oklahoma resident Matt Durham who has been accused and allegedly confessed under duress to allegations of molestation of a number of young people at an orphanage in Kenya where he was visiting on multiple occasions in the last 3 years.
Oklahoma City news station, KOCO, first reported that there have been additional disclosures in court from federal prosecutors about this case, citing that there is evidence of health changes in some victims, coinciding with issues of questions of these accusations provided by Kenyan authorities and the FBI.
Also, apparently there are questions of at least one other person who is stateside as a possible victim, so there has been a good bit of new data shared today by Federal prosecutors. http://www.koco.com/news/prosecutors-kenya-plans-to-file-charges-against-edmond-teen-accused-of-molesting-orphans/27304140#!bvNPK0
Reporters from every major television in Oklahoma City were present about 2 hours prior to the finalized reports for the case, waiting in the summer heat with cameras poised. They had been notified someone in the courtroom experiencing a medical compromise. An ambulance had been called and escorted Matt Durhams's Youth Pastor, after providing supportive testimony for Durham all from the East end of the building. All streets around the building are under some version of construction so no traffic is active.
Within about 15 minutes, the front doors of the courthouse were opening releasing people in clusters. Some came out and immediately used their phones. Others stopped and hugged regarding the 10K release.
Worldwide, there are issues regarding the lack of uniformity in reporting sexualized assault of any person, and what makes a report justifiable and accurate, and allowing justice for both the victim and the accused is a struggle due to this.
Stephen Jones, the attorney for Matt Durham, has also had some prior top roles in dealing with issues related to Richard Nixon, as well as being the defense attorney for the Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building Bomber, Timothy McVeigh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Jones_(attorney)
Jones has been cited in local news reports as saying his client was subjected to "a cult" in Africa. Jones presented himself to the media with Panama hat in hand today, citing the decision to allow Matt Durham out on a bond, and that he has to wear an electronic monitor, cannot use any electronic media and must stay at home with his father.
Matthew Durham has reportedly told the Judge "I did not hurt any children".
Worldwide, there are issues regarding the lack of uniformity in reporting sexualized assault of any person and this has been studied in the US by the United States Department of Justice as well as the United States Deparment of Juvenile Justice and Prevention. This causes problems for the victim, witness, accused and responding systems.
Clarity through hierarchical (scales that document what issues of contact or comment are alleged in a list) in order of severity towards a carnal knowledge, as well as narrative ( general questions of what happened guided by topical questions allowing a victim to share) assessments work best in the hands of an experienced interviewer per groups like NOW as stated in USDOJ reports from studies on understanding rape and sexualized assault interactions.
American best practices for child assessments of sexual assault issues work best in play therapy settings over a period of time but must be filmed and under the care of an experienced, licensed clinician for best results of interpretation, per the National Children's Alliance.http://www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/ All question in this allegation series seem to involve children under the age of 10, and multiple alleged victims are indicated. So current Federal prosecutor disclosures include verbal reports and some kind of corroborated medical exams that match sexualized contact allegations.
American standards nationally for sexualized assaults are under scrutiny, hyperfocused with the issue of college rape. This case, however involving Matt Durham, involves himself as a college student and child victims allegations not same age peers. And all actions, excluding this Downs Syndrome male, are off American soil.
This case is about Kenyan children, in a Kenyan village. Reportedly, American FBI agents discovering corroborating something to what the Kenyan children and adults documenting their disclosures have said.
US Federal Prosecutors, reportedly were unhappy with the option the Judge gave for a $10,000 bond and appealed immediately. Additional proceedings will happen in the near future in Downtown Oklahoma City. Matt Durham left the courthouse last, with his siblings and parents followed by news media to their vehicle.
Other court interactions are expected in the near future, which will determine if Matt will be extradited to Kenya, as the Kenyans have asked.

Updates in fink's git master.
Alexander Hansen <alexanderk.hansen <at> gmail.com>
I've just put some updates into the fink master branch (https://github.com/fink/fink) The major changes are as follows: 1) bootstrap will work if users on Lion have just the Xcode Command Line Tools, and not the full Xcode. 2) The gcc* virtual packages have been tightened up a bit. The only versions that show as potentially installable on a given OS version are those which can be installed via the Xcode installer for that OS version, e.g. gcc4.2 is listed on 10.5, because Xcode 3.1 has it, 10.6, because Xcode 3.2.x has it, and 10.7, because Xcode 4.1 has it. 3) There is now a clang virtual package, which shows up as a potential option on 10.6 and later. Translated into a fink version and revision, "Apple clang version 3.1 (tags/Apple/clang-318.0.58)" becomes clang-3.1-22.214.171.124. 4) There is now an llvm-gcc virtual package, which shows up as a potential option on 10.6 and later. Translated into a fink version and revision, "i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.9.00)" becomes llvm-gcc-4.2.1-2336.9.00. If people try it, and I don't get any bad reports, I'll do a release in a couple of days. -- -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Continue reading)

"Teen Mom 2" has been cancelled. Stars Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, Leah Messer, and Kailyn Lowry have been told that season 5, which is currently airing, will be the last, Radar Online reported on March 14.
According to production sources, MTV has decided to cancel the show while it has huge ratings.
This may confuse "Teen Mom 2" fans who have seen via photos and online posts that the girls are still filming.
However, Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, Leah Messer, and Kailyn Lowry won't be back for a season 6, but are filming addition episodes for season 5.
It seems this is the end of the "Teen Mom" franchise as the original moms, Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, and Catelynn Lowell have been off the air for over a year, and "Teen Mom 3" was cancelled after only one season.
While there will seemingly be at least one more season of "16 and Pregnant," there is hope for another "Teen Mom" franchise, but it's not likely.
"Teen Mom" has been credited for helping drop the rate of teenage pregnancies in the U.S., and will be highly missed by fans of the show.
What do you think about "Teen Mom 2" reportedly being cancelled?

Advocates of abortion have always tried to hijack the language and concept of freedom. The reality of killing a child has been camouflaged in the words "freedom of choice." Yet Scripture makes clear the real meaning of freedom. In Exodus seven sixteen, God has Moses tell Pharaoh, "Let my people go." But here, and in the following chapters, this command in its fullness is, "Let my people go, that they may serve me." Freedom has a content. It is not a cloak for whatever we want to do; it is a road to serve the Lord. And the service of the Lord means there are some things we always choose and some things that we always reject. The service of the Lord is a way of life – indeed a narrow way. Yet to follow it is freedom.
True Freedom
The Epitome of Deception
In the Lord's Prayer, we ask, "lead us not into temptation." Every temptation is a lie, that makes something evil look good.
Among the most masterful temptations of the evil one is to make the killing of a child seem better than the birth of that child. This is the lie that leads each day to thousands of abortions. As we pray, "Lead us not into temptation," let's keep in mind the need to protect all pregnant mothers from the deception of abortion. Let's also pray against the temptation to be silent and passive in the midst of this holocaust. Sins of omission are the most frequent sins, especially in regard to the culture of death. Let's say more, do more, and sacrifice more for life! Lead us not into temptation!
I'm personally opposed to abortion, but can't impose my views on others.
Pro-abortion politicians will often say to us, "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but can't impose my views on others." Our response? This is not a matter of views, but of violence. The law is supposed to protect human life despite the views of those who would destroy it.
Suppose someone does not believe that you are human. By holding that belief, they do not break any law. But if they try to kill you because of that belief, they have broken the law.
The law doesn't care what they believe. The law simply protects your life, whether they recognize its value or not.
By passing laws to protect the unborn, we are not trying to force people to believe anything. We're simply protecting lives that some people believe are worthless.
Silent No More Awareness Campaign
The Christian Faith advances through testimony. Jesus gives testimony to the Father; the Apostles give testimony to the Resurrection; Paul gives testimony to his conversion; Augustine gives testimony in his Confessions; you and I give and receive the testimony of how Jesus changes the lives He enters. That is why the Silent No More Awareness Campaign is so powerful and necessary. Men and women wounded by abortion and then healed are speaking out about the lie of abortion and the power of Jesus. They are giving testimony to why life must be protected. The power of their testimony is calling many to repentance and healing. If you feel called to give a testimony about your abortion, or know someone else who does, contact us at priestsforlife.org.

FOR Strategic Plan 2011-2015
As the Fellowship of Reconciliation USA (FOR) approaches the end of the current five-year plan it offers for adoption this framework for the coming five years, which will end in its 100th anniversary. Our principal tasks are to have and project hope in the face of hopelessness, and to never give up the struggle to secure a world without war with peace and justice for all.
In preparation for, researching, and writing a new plan, we have found broad support for the current formulation of the mission, vision, values of the organization as follows:
Mission Statement
"As an interfaith organization, FOR-USA's mission is to organize, train, and grow a diverse movement that welcomes all people of conscience to end structures of violence and war, and create peace through the transformative power of nonviolence."
Vision Statement
"FOR envisions a world of justice, peace, and freedom. It is a revolutionary vision of a beloved community where differences are respected, conflicts are addressed nonviolently, oppressive structures are dismantled, and where people live in harmony with the earth, nurtured by diverse spiritual traditions that foster compassion, solidarity, and reconciliation."
Values Statement
- Active nonviolence — as a way of personal life and as a means to achieving racial, economic, and gender justice and reconciliation;
- Economic, racial and gender justice — we envision "The Beloved Community" as inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., requiring us to ensure all are seen as equal in value and rights and all are held in regard and relationships of love;
- Belief — we come together in unity from that place beyond fact that inspires us to act with courage and in spiritual connection;
- Relationships — we seek to act in community with each other and in our individual and collective communities with regard, respect, mutual accountability, and joy;
- Honor and Respect — we may disagree but always offer respect for each person's life and the dignity of all living beings. We seek paths to reconciliation with those who oppose;
- Diversity — we embrace diversity of belief, action, culture, and life styles and commit to honor all life and all those who seek peace through nonviolence; and
- Integrity — we seek to be at peace as we seek peace. We strive to learn, to teach, and to live with consistency of word and deed.
These underlying bases of the work of FOR are as relevant and apt today as when they were adopted.
Our theory of social change is that it is a movement toward greater equality and justice. It begins at the individual level working locally through active efforts by dedicated, passionate people, many of whom act from spiritual leadings, whose clarity of purpose and vision and success actively moves through communities and structures representing wider and wider circles of peoples until systems are transformed in sustainable ways for the foreseeable future. Our field of intended effective social change is that of structural violence in the United States and propagated by the United States throughout the world.
Why does FOR exist? What is our purpose, our goal? FOR exists to explore the power of love and truth for resolving human conflict through nonviolent reconciliation, in order to secure a world without war with peace and justice for all.
What do we do? How will we achieve that goal? Working through transformative nonviolence and grounded in our faith and faith traditions, we pursue social change and personal and structural transformation. We seek to establish our strongest collaborative relationships with local chapters, religious peace fellowships, and affiliates and other branches of FOR globally.
Who are we? We are an intentionally loosely knit collection of variously organized individuals and groups, attempting an experience of the beloved community, nurtured by diverse spiritual traditions, united by attributions of membership in the FOR including: public statements of a conscious choice of conscience, participation in local chapters and affiliates, religious peace fellowships, or partner organizations, contributions, and attendance at FOR events. The work is also advanced by engaging an employed staff and volunteers, especially on an elected national council, and in structures of task forces, working groups and advisory groups. We are a branch of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation and relate to branches in more than 50 other countries.
Where are we located? While predominantly living and working in the United States of America, through various migrations (economic, social, political) and by virtue of specific programs, we are present all around the world. We have a national office in Nyack, New York, and staff is located in the field of service across the United States and around the world, sometimes to serve specific program needs, sometimes to meet personal preferences.

text: You are here: Home Fact File What were the ranks in the Indian Army? What were the ranks in the Indian Army? In reading some of the soldiers' stories featured on this website, you may come across ranks that you are unfamiliar with. Here is a brief explanation: Commissioned officers - the highest ranks - were identical to those in the British Army: General Lieutenant-General Major-General Brigadier Colonel Lieutenant-Colonel Major Captain Lieutenant In the First World War, those Indians who achieved any of these ranks came to the British Indian Army from one of the so called 'Princely States' - which retained a nominal independence from British rule, though had British advisers in positions of authority to ensure compliance. These states often had their own armies, largely ceremonial in function. For example. Rana Jodha Jung Bahadur was Commander-in-Chief of Tripura State Forces. He took some of his men to the Western Front, as The Tehri Garwhal Sappers and Miners. His rank in this context was Lieutenant. The long history of colonial rule in India left a legacy of inequality and the belief that Indians could not or should not be in command of British troops. It was not until 1918 that it was announced that the King's Commission would be opened to Indians for whom ten places would be reserved in the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst to be trained as officers of the British Indian Army. In the meantime, senior Indian members of the British Indian Army could hold commissions issued by the Viceroy. These men were called VCOs - Viceroy's Commissioned Officers. In almost all respects they were treated just the same as any other commissioned officer but they only had authority over Indian troops. "These ranks were created to facilitate effective liaison between the British officers and their native troops. The soldiers who were promoted to VCO rank had long service and good service records, spoke reasonably fluent English, and could act as a common liaison point between officers and men and as advisers to the British officers on Indian affairs." VCOs were always treated and addressed with respect. Ranks held by VCOs were: Cavalry regiments Risaldar-Major or Ressaidar-Major (= major) Risaldar or Ressaidar (= captain) Jemadar (= lieutenant) Infantry regiments and other arms Subedar-Major (= major) Subedar (= captain) Jemadar (= lieutenant) Non-Commissioned Officers included: Company Havildar Major (= Company Sergeant Major) Havildar or Daffadar [Cavalry] (= Sergeant) Naik or Lance-Daffadar [Cavalry] (= Corporal) Lance-Naik or Acting Lance-Daffadar [Cavalry] (= Lance-Corporal) Soldier ranks included: Sepoys or Sowars [Cavalry] (= Private) Sepoys of the 2/25 Pioneers, 1920 British Army ranks such as Gunner and Sapper were used by other corps.

Career Mentoring
What is the Career Connections Mentoring Program?
The Career Connections Mentoring Program is a collaborative effort between Sage's Alumni Relations, Annual Fund, and Career Planning Offices that pairs current students with Sage-affiliated professionals working in career fields of interest. The goal of this program is to provide Sage students with professional contacts that can help them reach their career goals.
Requirements and Guidelines for Participation
Although you and your Sage affiliated partner will ultimately decide what form your mentorship takes, the following minimal requirements for participation will ensure a successful experience for both you and your mentor:
- Informational Interview - Start your mentoring relationship by emailing your sage-affiliate to Request an Information Interview meeting about their career and background (see "Guide to Networking" for assistance in completing an Informational Interview)
- Thank You Note - Following informational interview, send your sage-affiliate a "Thank You" note or email, thanking them for their time and acknowledging their role as your mentor (see "Guide to Networking" for example)
- Professionalism & Timeliness - Keep your correspondence professional, prompt, and respectful. Your Sage-affiliate is taking time out of their work day or personal time to speak with you and deserves your respect and timeliness, whether you're meeting in person, talking on the phone, or exchanging emails.
- Requesting Career Advice – Ask your Mentor about his or her advice for succeeding in your chosen career field and/or for potential job or internship leads. However, NEVER ask your mentor for an internship or job directly. Doing so puts your mentor in an uncomfortable position.
- Transportation- Although meeting face to face with your Sage-affiliate isn't a requirement, it is strongly recommended. If and when you set-up meetings, you're responsible for transporting yourself to and from whatever location you've chosen (remember your CDTA card will take you all over the Capital District free of charge).
How Do I Get Involved in the Mentoring Program?
- Complete a Career Connections Mentoring Program application or e-mail George Tiggle for additional details.
- Attend the Mandatory Career Connections Mentoring Program Information Session
- Monday, November 19 at 12:30pm – Sage College of Albany
- Wednesday, November 14 at 12:30pm – Russell Sage College
What determines who I will shadow and where I will go?
George Tiggle, Director of Sage Partner Programs, will work with Alumni Relations and Annual Giving to pair you with a professional in a target career field. The matching process will take place in late October, and you will be informed of your match by early November. Where you will go and who you will be matched with is contingent on the information you filled out as part of your application.
What if I am no longer able to participate?
If for any reason you are unable to participate in the Career Connections Program and have already applied, let us know right away prior to the matching process. The Sage affiliate who has volunteered their time needs to be contacted and made aware of the changes. It is your responsibility to inform us of any changes in your plans.
If you have any questions or concerns before participating in the mentoring program don't hesitate to contact George Tiggle, Director of Sage Partner Programs.

The Smith & Nephew R3 Hip Implant Liner Recall Lawsuit
Smith and Nephew PLC has recalled the metal liner used in its R3 Acetabular System after due to poor performance and reports of injury and complications such as infections, fractures and dislocations. Nearly 8000 patients have been implanted with a Smith & Nephew R3 hip implant. The majority have been used in stemmed total hip replacement.
The company has chosen to withdraw the optional metal liner component within the R3 Acetabular System as a precautionary measure after reviewing recent data collected showing the liner not performing as anticipated. Smith & Nephew indicated the metal liner component within the R3 Acetabular System is "not performing as well as we would like."
The Smith & Nephew R3 Acetabular Primary Cup System Hip Implant
Smith & Nephew launched the R3 Acetabular Hip System in March of 2008. The medical device is a multi-bearing acetabular cup system used in total hip replacement procedures.
The R3 Acetabular Cup was manufactured and designed for multiple bearing options, and uses a STIKTITE porous liner to aid in bonding with the bone.
There are three different types of liners used in the R3 Acetabular Hip
The R3 Forte Ceramic Liners were recalled due to an alleged manufacturing defect. A small number of the liners had titanium rings that were pressed with a higher force than manufacturing specifications allowed causing the liners to weaken. In March 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall for the Ceramic liners.
The R3 TM Constrained Liners were recalled after Smith & Nephew received reports from surgeons claiming that the femoral head separated away from the liner during the operation.
Patients implanted with a Smith & Nephew hip implant with a recalled R3 liner may need revision surgery to correct the problem.
If you or a loved one have suffered or been injured from a defective Smith & Nephew Metal on Metal Hip Implant or needed a hip implant revision surgery you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the Smith & Nephew hip Implant attorneys of Ennis & Ennis today for a free confidential case evaluation by calling toll-free nationwide 1 800 856 6405 or complete the free case evaluation form on this page.

How Brian Hull, a 22-year-old vocal performance major at Dallas Baptist University, was inspired to create a YouTube video that attracted 885,556 views less than 48 hours after he posted it, is a story that would warm Walt Disney's heart. The video is featured on Newspop.net, a website that shares current events of interest to teenagers and young adults. In an exclusive interview for examiner.com on March 16, 2014, Hull shared his inspiration for making a video that he hoped might simply help him "win a $100 gift card." It may be that Hull will win far more than that. He said:
I saw there was a contest going on through Disney where I could record myself singing, "Let it Go," said Hull, and if I won, I would win a $100 gift card to the Disney Store. So, I just got this idea in my head: 'What if I did the whole thing as Disney and Pixar characters?'
Hull also shared, "I told my mom (Melody Hull) my idea, and she really pushed me to do it, and within a few days, I had it recorded in the recording studio at my school, and then I edited the video together." Hull's friend Seth O'Neal recorded the audio and Brian worked with him to produce the video uploaded on YouTube, which currently has 2,850 comments.
See for yourself and hear Hull sing "Let it Go," as Captain Barbosa from "Pirates of the Caribbean," and as Captain Jack Sparrow; as Roz, then as Mike Wazowski from "Monsters Inc."; as both Tigger and Winnie the Pooh, as both Dug and Alpha from "Up," to sing in a French accent as Lumiere from "Beauty and the Beast," then sing in a British accent as Cogsworthy from "Beauty and the Beast, and then back to where it all started for all things Disney, singing as Mickey (and Minnie) Mouse.
The 22-year-old talent is currently studying at Dallas Baptist University in Dallas, Texas. Brian shared "I'm studying to be a music major, specifically a vocal performance major."
Hull said, "I've been doing impressions all my life, so I thought, 'why not put it to work?' and thus the song first made famous by Idina Menzel, who voiced Elsa in the movie," has become even more famous.
When Walt Disney Animation Studios launched their own YouTube video of the song on Dec. 6, 2013, it was to highlight their digital and Blu-ray release of the "Frozen" feature film.
The song has simple Disney magic written all over it. "Let it Go" is an original song written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Tony Award-winner Robert Lopez. "The husband-and-wife songwriters took home an Oscar on March 2, 2014," as Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times reported, and it "beat offerings from U2, Pharrell Williams and Karen O.
A perfect example of pop culture at its finest is when a Disney theme had "logged five non-consecutive weeks atop the U.S. pop charts, the most for any soundtrack since 'Titanic' in 1998." And then this same song, "Let it Go," inspired Brian Hull to let go his uncertainties about whether or not his entry was good enough.
Said Hull, "The night before I submitted my video, I was having second thoughts about how good it was, so I posted it to my Facebook, just so I could get honest feedback from my friends. The next thing I know, they shared it over 200 times and now, the video has over a half million views in a day and a half."
When Hull said that it was eight hours ago, but thanks to the power of the Internet, the public's love of all things Disney, and the manner in which Pixar films have inspired young people to want to make animation and visualization their lifelong careers, it's not surprising that Hull's talents and imagination (what if?) are going viral.
Currently, the Disney video has 142,539,161 views. Hull's video is entitled "Disney and Pixar Sings 'Let it Go'" and his rendition in full Disney/Pixar splendor, is now approaching his first million views, presently going strong at 903,807 views on YouTube at the time of this writing. Brian's work has just gathered 18,251 views in just the past 90 minutes alone. No doubt about it, Hull is on his way to the next step in his career.
Surely the team of imagineers at Disney and Pixar has discovered Hull's video entry by now, so if anyone there is reading this, he's available for a summer internship or cooperative education position.
Brian Hull would be the perfect candidate to intern for their Imagineering program at Disney's Lake Buena Vista, Florida, or California, headquarters. He is a young man with a great deal of talent, creativity, and potential. Plus, he clearly loves all things Disney and Pixar.
When asked about his current employment Hull says:
I'm just a full-time student right now, and I just work on campus helping to run our music computer lab, but I aspire to be a voice actor, or musical theater actor, or opera performer, or classical music singer, or cartoon designer, pretty much just anything where I can do what I love!
In the past, Hull has also shared on YouTube another aspect of his music talents and his religious faith, featuring his arrangement of great church hymns as well as his original compositions. In one simple video, Hull's 2012 orchestra arrangement of "How Great Thou Art" for Fielder Road Church showcases just one of his gifts. Brian's original composition, "The Dance with Life and Death" as performed by two young pianists, also showcases his versatility and creativity. Hull can contribute to pop culture and faith with equal ability. Who knows, if Disney is fast enough on the draw, they might have another future Oscar-winner on their Disney family team one day, whether he's in front of the camera acting, or behind it in a sound booth.
After all, one of Disney's own quotes, attributed to "How to be like Walt," is:
I believe firmly in the efficacy of religion, in its powerful influence on a person's whole life. It helps immeasurably to meet the storms and stress of life and keep you attuned to the Divine inspiration. Without inspiration, we would perish.
Hull is a young man who is readily inspired, he knows how to dream, and he has the talents to help make his dreams come true. He understands "Disney magic." As he said in his YouTube video caption:
With so many covers of "Let it Go" coming out, people may forget the original Disney magic that this song has, so what better way to preserve that magic with other Disney and Pixar characters singing the song!
Brian Hull is definitely a young Texan to look for in the future as opportunities continue to unfold for him. He's a winner. No doubt about it. Now if he can just win that $100 gift card to the Disney store.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — With a pair of long-handled loppers in hand, Jona Engel waded into a willow thicket just south of the Benton County Fairgrounds on a late morning last week and started snipping 2-foot cuttings off branches.
"You want ones that are going to survive," Engel said. "Good green leaves, nice and straight."
Engel, a 23-year-old senior in mechanical engineering at Oregon State University, was one of six students in Steve Cook's Geosciences 300 class, Sustainability for the Common Good, who spent several hours Nov. 5 grubbing out weeds and planting willow cuttings on the site of a former lumber mill.
The students get course credit, and Benton County gets free labor for an 18-acre wetland restoration project on the site.
"This is the third time we've done this in cooperation with this course instructor," said Adam Stebbins, a project coordinator for the county.
The county also has used work crews from the jail and the juvenile corrections program to help keep costs down on the project, which began in 2009.
The early phases of the restoration focused on taking out levees and accumulated woody material from the old mill's log pond, reconstructing the channel of Dunawi Creek through the property, and uprooting invasive plants such as reed canary grass and Scotch broom.
"We had to dig down close to eight feet to remove all the reed canary and all the chipped wood," Stebbins said.
After that, the focus shifted to regenerating native vegetation. In addition to seeding the area with a variety of grasses, work crews have planted close to 10,000 shrubs and trees, from willow and cottonwood to swamp rose and Pacific ninebark.
The project is intended to meet state and federal requirements to mitigate the environmental impacts of a street realignment and some redevelopment work undertaken by the property's owner, Andrew Martin.
Benton County Public Works Director Roger Irvin said the wetland reconstruction to date has cost about $250,000, with the county and Martin splitting the bill. The cost of monitoring and maintaining the restoration work over the next five years or so, which will be considerably less, will be absorbed by the county, Irvin said.
Under a conservation easement negotiated between Martin and the county, the project area is to be maintained as a natural wetland.
In the meantime, the former mill site is already beginning to look more like a natural area than an industrial zone.

There are only seven days left before the presidential election, and W. Kamau Bell is realizing he has some work to do for his winter standup tour, The Kamau Mau Uprising. "By the time the show comes through Cleveland, there will either be a new administration in office or it will be the second term of America's first black president," says Bell by phone in late October. "So basically all of my jokes are going to be irrelevant in about a week." Either way, it shouldn't be a problem when Bell takes the Grog Shop stage on Dec. 13, as he's learned to craft new material rather quickly for his television show, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, which premiered on FX in August. It's also a skill he's been working on since before he could vote. "I pretty much learned how to write comedy in high school when I learned how to write term papers," says Bell. "State your premise, prove your premise, close strong. ... If there's no punch line around it, it's just a bad lecture." 2785 Euclid Heights Blvd., Cleveland Heights, 216-321-5588, grogshop.gs

National Theater
A theater for traditional Japanese performing arts that is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
The National Theatre was opened in 1966 for the preservation, promotion, research, and study of traditional Japanese performing arts handed down from ancient times, and the development of successors. Its exterior appearance resembles the azekura log-cabin style of Shosoin in Todai-ji Temple, Nara Prefecture. It is comprised of two stages: the Large Theatre, where kabuki, Japanese traditional dances, and gagaku (Japanese court music) are performed, and the Small Theatre, where hogaku (traditional Japanese music), bunraku (traditional puppet plays), and folk performing arts are performed.
An English earphone guide service is available for kabuki and bunraku performances, which explains the story, parts, costumes, parts of the set, and conventions and rules to help you enjoy the performances. Next to the theatre is the Traditional Performing Arts Information Centre, which was built in 2003 to provide information on traditional performing arts. In the centre's Information Exhibition Room, you can see the actual costumes and props used on stage up close. On the second floor is the Reading Room, where you can refer to books on traditional performing arts and access the Cultural Digital Library, which offers information on the performance schedule of the National Theatre, archive footage, images of beautiful costumes, photos of the stage, and nisihi-e (woodcut prints of the portraits of actors). The Lecture Room is on the third floor, where lectures are held and archive footage of performances is shown on an irregular basis.
Address: 4-1 Hayabusa-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo
Phone: 03-3265-7411
Closed: Depends on the performance
Directions: About a 5 minute-walk from Hanzomon Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line or about an 8minute- walk from Nagatacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon and Nanboku lines

For years, an entry-level job (complete with entry-level wages) was the average American's launch into the job market and starting a career. You would learn and gain skills, then leave for something better-paying.
Not only was it the classic American way, it was a win-win situation for the workers and low-wage employers; as a worker left for better pay, they could then spend more at the employers' stores, thus also benefiting the U.S. economy.
But since the Great Recession of 2007, many of the next-level jobs no longer exist, which means more low-wage workers (and ironically, many are older and better-educated, not always teens and young adults) are "stuck".
"Some people took those jobs (the low-wage ones) because they were the only ones available and haven't been able to figure out how to move out of that", said Bill Simon, CEO of Wal-Mart U.S.
"If Wal-Mart employees can go to another company and another job and make more money and develop, they'll be better", Simon further explained. "It'll be better for the economy. It'll be better for us as a business, to be quite honest, because they'll continue to advance in their economic life."
As a result of this shift, many of the older and better-educated low-wage workers (particularly in the retail and fast-food areas) have become more vocal in pressing for raises (like the fast-food protest of 2013).
Last year, 17.4 million Americans between ages 25 and 64 earned less than $10.10 an hour (the minimum wage proposed by President Obama-the current minimum is $7.25), which is equal to an income of nearly $19,000 for a full-time employee-less than half the median pay of a U.S. worker.
Did You Know That.....
Nearly a third of low-wage employees last year had some college education.
An additional 10 percent were college graduates.
Starting Your Own Bourbon Label
There's two ways to go about it: A contract craft bottler (like Strong Spirits, which bottles High Rye Bourbon, among many others) can help you "source" bourbon by designing a label for you and walking it through the regulatory process. For $25,000, you could probably get close to 100 cases to market.
When the company Strong Spirits opened just three years ago, it bottled a few hundred cases a month. But business lately has "grown like crazy," according to manager Jeff Tatman. In 2013, the company averaged more than 10,000 cases a month (!).
Or would you rather make and sell your own bourbon?
For example, the Distilled Spirits Epicenter in Louisville, Kentucky, offers a five-day Moonshine University course for $5,500. You could then build a distillery for about $1 million. Wait the better part of a year to get your still from Vendome Copper and Brass Works in Louisville, then start cooking mash and barreling "juice." In three or four years, you may have something to sell.
Actually, many craft or startup brands do a little of both.
This is a well-known secret within the bourbon world: Companies often buy their bourbon until they have something to sell. Or maybe they aren't interested in making it at all.
According to whiskey expert Chuck Cowdery, bourbon is more of a commodity than many people realize; the 13 major distillers (including an Indiana one) are constantly rebalancing their inventories with expected needs, thus giving rise to a subterranean river of bourbon flowing through Kentucky (and surfacing in some surprising places).
These distillers sometimes contract to make whiskey for someone else; occasionally they also sell excess bourbon in bulk to control inventory.
But it's not something they want to talk about.

Balls, Cooper, Miliband Summit. Exclusive Transcript
It is one evening this week and Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper are relaxing at home reading biographies of Beatrice Webb and Stalin. The doorbell rings and Yvette goes to answer it.
Mili E: "Good evening, Yvette. Is Ed in?
Yvette (turning round and shouting up the stairs): "Ed, are you in?"
Ed Balls (distantly): "Who is it?"
Yvette (smiling sarcastically): "It's the leader…"
Ed Balls (words coated in sarcasm): "Well if it's the leader I must come down at once."
Ten minutes later and Mili E is still standing on the doorstep. Ed Balls saunters down the stairs clutching a copy of "A User's Guide to Tyranny: Stalin's Greatest Purges." Smirking, and blinking, he makes a bow.
Ed Balls: "Ah, great leader. To what do we owe the privilege of this visit?"
Mili E (sighing): "Can I come in yet?"
Yvette (annoyed, fussing): "Ok. Take your shoes off, put your coat there, don't dawdle, get a move on, go through there and sit down. NOT in Ed's chair. And NOT in my chair."
Mili E takes a seat on the sofa: "Look, Ed and Yvette…"
Yvette (contorting her features and doing her Mili E impersonation): "Look, Ed and Yvette. Look, Ed and Yvette."
Ed Balls (smiling): "Yvette, let the great leader speak."
Mili E: "I just wanted to get us of to a good start. We've all been through a lot together with Gordon and whilst I know there will be tensions, I am confident that in our new positions, me as leader, you as my shadow chancellor Ed, and you Yvette as my shadow home secretary, we can overcome them. But only if, and that's if, we three pull together in the same direction… and… and… put aside factionalism… going forward…"
Ed Balls smirks as Mili E speaks, and Yvette leans over whispering in his ear throughout.
Mili E: "Yvette, please. It's not like the old days. Show some respect. I'm the leader now."
Yvette (doing her Mili E impersonation again): "I'm the leader now. Show some respect. I'm the leader now."
Ed Balls (raising his hands, commanding silence): "Yvette, Ed is right. He is the leader for now and he must be heard. We all want the same thing, don't we?"
Mili E: "We all want to be Prime Minister you mean…" (This briefly shuts up Yvette).
Ed Balls: "Yvette and I are not motivated one bit by personal ambition. We just want Labour back in power, under the best possible leadership. So we can continue our work improving the amount of money spent on public services."
Mili E: "Ed. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. The improving the amount of money spent on public services bit. I am as committed as anyone to improving how much money we spend. But I also think some mistakes were made when we were in power and we must acknowledge that and apologise if we are to rebuild trust."
Ed Balls (serenely calm): "I am perfectly happy for you to apologise for all the mistakes you made."
Mili E: "Ed, we're all disappointed that boom and bust wasn't at an end after all, as you and Gordon told us it was…"
Yvette (face even more like thunder than usual): "Oh you… you… you… you… silly man."
Mili E: "But Yvette, we cannot live in a state of denial. There is actually a large deficit. Couldn't we agree that we should say we would bring it down just a little bit?"
Ed Balls: "What's the deficit? I'm joking. Look, what did Gordon and I used to say to you when we worked together in the Treasury?"
Mili E: "Milk and two sugars?"
Ed Balls: "No, not that."
Mili E: "Here's some photocopying? Don't mess it up like you did last time?"
Ed Balls: "No. Now you really are being silly. You were always very good at photocopying and we never had any grounds for complaint. I meant what did we used to say to you to explain where money comes from and what should be done with it?"
Mili E (wearily): "You said it is the people's money, but the people need help deciding how it should best be spent. If it is left to the people they might spend the people's money enjoying themselves. Our job is to spend the money for them, ensuring it is spent on what is actually in their best long-term interests. They often don't know themselves what the people's best long-term interests are. But we do."
Ed Balls: "Exactly. The people's money spent on the people's priorities, even if they don't always know what their priorities are. The people get confused, they're busy, they listen to lies if we aren't careful. So we have to decide for them. And this work is even more essential now, when the people are being told there is less of the people's money to go round."
Mili E (exasperated): "But that's what I'm saying to you, there is less money. So we might have to spend just a little bit less on the people's priorities or we won't be taken seriously…"
Ed Balls (smiling and shaking his head): "Oh dear, oh dear, Yvette. I fear the leader has been listening to lies. I can see we are going to have to work hard on his re-education. Look. If there is a temporary shortage of the people's money, because of the exploits of the banks, exploits of which we could not be expected to have been aware, we have to unlock some of the money that the people will have tomorrow so that it can be spent today on making up the temporary shortfall. Thus maintaining spending on the people's priorities. Remember, if the people don't have money today how are they going to create the money tomorrow from which we've borrowed to pay for the people's priorities today?"
Mili E: "You really think the economic and political answer is for us to advocate borrowing more money for the people and spending it on what we deem to be their priorities?"
Ed Balls (standing up): "Excellent. I'm glad we agree. The leader seems to be a surprisingly quick learner. Thank you for coming round. Shall we say same time next week?
Mili E: "But…"
Ed Balls: "Show the leader to the door Yvette."
Mili E: "But I…"
Yvette (handing Mili E his shoes and ushering him over the threshold): "Grrrr… I'm watching you."

Massimo Morozzi Paesaggi Italianifor edraPaesaggi Italiani (''Italian landscapes''), created by Massimo Morozzi in 1995 and expanded each year with new elements and compositions, is more than just a new product: it is a new concept in furniture design and a means not only of solving problems but of meeting the need for customization.
An advanced system: a small number of components with a vast array of variants. This is the alchemy in design: creating numerous solutions from a few base elements. It is one of the first truly industrial projects applied to furniture. A programme as rich as the land of Italy, a treasure-chest of solutions and ideas: partitions, walls and finished furniture units, innovative images, linear design and enhanced decorative presence.
Paesaggi Italiani has all it takes to become the new standard for Italian homes: it is the basic solution for all uses, both in the daytime areas and bedrooms; the load-bearing frame of the habitat and a new solution, bringing function and beauty to the modern home. Paesaggi Italiani opens up extraordinary new potential for the workplace and commercial areas. The opportunities offered by Paesaggi Italiani are so numerous as to be almost beyond description. Colour comes first: 75 full-tone colours, which can be mixed and matched to evoke all the charm and warmth of the hues of art and natural landscapes.
Then there is the range of materials for the doors: four types of wood, aluminium, steel, semi-transparent and translucent methacrylate. Then all the different types: traditional walls, bookcases, together with finished furniture units tall and low, columns, perfectly at ease in their singular, subtle play on empty spaces and volumes, sideboards to lay, frames to display. Two widths, two depths, six heights. Mass production does not preclude a personal touch: each user can customize their own unit with colours and variants. The project has a syntax of its own: each combination of syntagmata will tell a different story, all highly symbolic.

Report on the AIPPI Baltic conference, 2-5 September 2009, Tallinn, EstoniaReport by Thierry Mollet-Viéville, President of AIPPI and Stephan Freischem,
Deputy Secretary General of AIPPI
Under the pleasant and efficient direction of Mr. Urmas Kauler, President of the Estonian Group of AIPPI, and of Mr. Enn Urgas, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, the three Baltic Groups of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania met once again in Tallinn, on September 2-5, 2009, for their 8th biennial meeting.
AIPPI was represented by its President, Thierry Mollet-Viéville, and its Deputy Secretary General, Stephan Freischem.
The Estonian Group of AIPPI was the first one founded in the Baltic region, in 1992.
This meeting brought together 101 participants (like the Parliament of Estonia), from over 20 countries, including Peru (Francisco Espinosa-Bennido), Canada (Peter Milne) and Japan (Keiichi Ota).
The large number of participants provided an opportunity for the President and the Deputy Secretary General of AIPPI to meet many officers of the AIPPI Groups of this Northern European region, and particularly the Presidents of the Finnish and Latvian Groups, Rainer Hilli and Agris Bitans.
One particularly notable presence at the Conference was the large Russian delegation, including from the neighboring city of Saint Petersburg.
The program
A complete list of the topics, speakers and their presentations is posted on the website of the Estonian Group of AIPPI (www.konverents.eu/aippi2009).
Stephan Freischem opened the conference by discussing the role of intellectual property in stimulating creativity and innovation, adding it would be questionable to extend IP protection as widely as possible and that it was necessary to find a balance between intellectual property, on the one hand, and competition and the public domain, on the other hand, while still making sure to prevent excessive and abusive actions on the part of certain IP rights owners.
Alexander Von MÜhlendahl, former Vice-President of OHIM, provided the assembly with the latest news of the world (including WIPO's SCT work) and he brought up the declaration 58 of the G8 summit in Aguila, in connection with the measures of the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). He also confirmed that a study is being carried out by the European Commission on the review of the community trademark system.
Various speakers stepped up to discuss the case law (sometimes conflicting) dealing with the scope of protection of a renowned trademark, and in imitation matters, depending on the defendant's good or bad faith.
Once again, the conflict between trademarks and designs raised several questions: can an automobile be registered as a trademark, or as a design, and can a trademark can be the reason for a cancellation of a design, and vice versa?
Two professional designers explained the need to get a better understanding of the new working methods and the role of a designer. Indeed, in their work to understand the context of their clients' activities, these "new designers" are concerned with first listening to their needs, in order later to provide them with answers from the realm of concepts, in order "to shape meaning." Afterwards, the President of the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group (GACG) presented his organization's strategies and means.
2) The second day was devoted to patent rights
Anne Rejnhold Jorgensen of the Danish Patent Office made a remarkable presentation of the "Patent Prosecution Highway" (PPH), which is used by 14 Offices and is the subject of 21 bilateral agreements. Such a system actually promotes a very efficient cooperation, allowing in particular to avoid the duplication of work and therefore to ensure greater speed and savings. The PPH system is certainly one of the solutions to the current problem of huge backlogs in the patent offices.
Then Professor Manuel Desantes Real, former Vice-President of the EPO, brilliantly presented the prospects of the patent system, which will certainly take on new dimensions, particularly from economic and social standpoints, so that a new framework will need to be devised to ensure its quality and efficiency in the future.
On a European level, not all the speakers seemed convinced about the need for a Community Patent, and they all expressed their interest in having a European Patent Court endowed with all the necessary means of efficiency (Leo Steenbeek of Philips), without discrimination (Manuel Desantes Real), and in a judicial organization that is consistent with Europe's political and social needs (Thierry Mollet-Viéville).
The day's proceedings closed on a highly interesting presentation of the case law of the different Judges of northern Europe, including in Finland (Rainer Hilli). These case law comparisons were most constructive and helpful for the professionals who attended the conference, particularly in the area of pharmaceuticals and in connection with the matter of the imminence of an infringement to be prevented by the Judge.
The quality of the discussions during these two days was also evident from the questions raised by the participants, which included many young professionals, a fact that was noted with satisfaction.
Such a conference provides hope that Intellectual Property will continue to arouse an increasing interest in the countries of this region, including Latvia, where the next AIPPI Baltic Conference will be held in Riga in 2011.

Every day is Valentine's Day when you're with your loved one. Romance is not just about the surroundings, it is also about the company
Even eating with your hands in a muddy ditch could be more romantic than clinking glasses in a fairy-lit gazebo dressed up with champagne and candles.
However, on an occasion as coercive as Valentine's Day, couples are likelier to splash out for the lavish, table-clothed setting replete with candles, a violinist and full butler service.
To avoid the uncomfortable experience of having to watch couples suck face while you crunch your lobster, we suggest these plausible places where you may still have a good time on 14 February:
McDonald's, or any fast-food chain is a good bet. If it was here that you had your first kiss when you were in your teens, well, that's just your little secret, we suppose. And who doesn't love a Happy Meal? The best part is, the cold, straight-backed, hard-bottomed chairs in these serve-yourself chains are not conducive for cuddling up, and couples can't reach over the table for a peck without getting jabbed in the ribs, or play footsie under the table without getting stares from someone on their way to order a double quarter pounder with cheese. It's not like they are able to use their own tablecloth and candles here – oops, better not give them ideas.
The hair on your back will definitely not be raised by amorous couples when you eat at tze char establishments either. The food at New Ubin Seafood and Two Chefs Eating Place are hearty and satisfying and it will be a challenge for any couple to get seats – they will probably be surrounded by rowdy families celebrating the last day of Chinese New Year. The only hearts racing are those trying to place orders with the super-busy service crew. The bare bones coffee-shop surroundings will not set off any romantic sparks either.
Another place that is a good bet for a peaceful meal is Haji Kadir & M Baharudeen Sup Tulang. Couples trying to impress each other will not think to head there unless they want to witness their partner sucking bones with an order of the clothes-staining sup tulang (beef rib soup). They would also not patronise Mandalay Style, where diners sit on the low tables and chairs for a burp-inducing Burmese meal, unless they are already past the honeymoon dating period and really comfortable with each other.
For these very reasons, we consider the above options as safe hideouts from couples who use the excuse of a Valentine's meal to engage in massive PDA.
If you're looking for propriety to be your wingman, choose to dine in the company of more traditional folk. Plenty of wise hats hang out at establishments such as Red Star Restaurant,
Beng Hiang Restaurant and Mui Liang Zai Lian Kee Restaurant. It's likely you won't find any couples doing hanky-panky of any sort.
The same goes for Caffe Beviamo at Tanglin Mall (the unofficial Mall for Mummies) and all of these places. Just be prepared to dine in the company of children and the accompanying strollers.
Singletons looking to bio (Chinese dialect for "check out") other singletons may get lucky at Esquina, Lucha Loco, Overeasy, any of the Harry's outlets, Five Izakaya Bar at Hitachi Towers, Zsofi Tapas Bar and, uh, Hooters Singapore, where tables are mostly bar-height, seats are singular, and most patrons are there for the hot wings or of the single-looking-to-mingle ilk.
If you see anyone locking lips, it is just someone's lucky night.
Whatever you choose to do this Valentine's Day, good luck and have plenty of fun. If not, just do what the wise do – order a takeaway and stay home with your favourite TV show. There are 51 more weeks to make your social life sing.

Beware Marketers Bearing Segmentation
By Peggy Chen on Jan 18, 2012
Christian Finn is back again today with some more insights on marketing segmentation. Read on! And don't miss him on today's webcast!
Webcast: Do More with Oracle WebCenter - Expand Beyond Portals
In a few hours, I'll be leading a webcast highlighting a variety of ways you can get more value from Oracle WebCenter by expanding beyond portals. And that whole notion of expanding beyond software solution categories, got me thinking about how marketing segmentation of software can help—and hurt—customers.
On the one hand, clearly identifying a need there's demand to solve — and the offering the product that solves it — is the essence of great entrepreneurship and product management. And for marketers competing in crowded marketplaces, segmenting markets creates niches in which vendors can compete and win by attracting customers through differentiation from the competition. When most successful, the niche becomes a category in which the vendor can be defined — by market share, by revenue, and by analysts — as the leader. So, there is value in segmentation for vendors, and to the extent that segmentation enables customers to focus on and find the solutions they need, segmentation can benefit those customers as well.
Yet, segmentation can also be a detriment. The marketer's comfortable niche can easily become the customer's restrictive silo for a customer, driving up cost and complexity while limiting flexibility and agility.
Let's look at a few examples, starting with content management. Content management is a market that is replete with segmentation: enterprise vs. web, document vs. transactional content vs. records management. All have their uses and specific requirements, yet customers who end up with many different systems and repositories to address each of these needs individually pay far more in licenses, operation, maintenance, support, and integration. By consolidating to a single repository, the American Institute for Architecture saved over 75% annually in content management costs—more than $3 million.
And the worst consequence may be the impact to users. How can you find, and be sure you have, the correct and most recent version of a critical document? If you have copies duplicated across repositories, it might be very hard to tell which version or copy is the master.
Another example is intranet portals vs. web site systems. If you really think about it, the needs of employees, customers, constituents, and partners are not very different. All of them want relevant targeted content for their information needs, the ability to process transactions, to participate in workflows, and to have their own say by generating their own content. Now, the objects of each of those interactions may be different. Take transactions as an example:
- a customer may want to purchase a product
- an employee may need to change her retirement account investment selections
- a citizen needs to be approved for a remodeling license, and
- a partner to order more inventory
And as this is the blog of a leading vendor in many technology markets, this isn't just idle musing. Since we have added the class-leading web experience management solution, Fatwire, to the Oracle WebCenter family as WebCenter Sites, we've given this particular area a lot of thought. Over time you will see integration guidance and then technology from us that will enable you to blend web experience management with classic portal frameworks and applications to deliver the best of both worlds to the audiences you need to engage, whether they are inside or outside your organization. In fact, we'll talk more about this in the upcoming webcast - Do More with Oracle WebCenter: Expand Beyond Portals.
Given that there's a software company famous for the mantra of "no software", maybe it is also time for a mantra of "no silos." In any case, I hope you enjoy the webcast and share your thoughts and questions with us.

Greek Attic Blackware Oinochoe: "Six's" Theater Mask

Guest Book
This interesting piece is a Greek Attic oinochoe that dates circa early 5th century B.C. This charming little piece is approximately 5.5 inches high. This piece is an Attic blackware ceramic that has an incised designed theater mask in the form of a light red bearded man with a white diadem. This extremely rare example was also produced in the "Six's Technique", as seen with the red beard of the theatre mask with incised hair detail, and the face and diadem with white painted details. According to Joseph Noble in "The Techniques of Painted Attic Pottery", Watson-Guptill Pub., New York, 1965, p. 66: "SIX'S TECHNIQUE: Six's technique of East Greek origin, was usually employed on small vases such as lekythoi, phialai, skyphoi, and Nicosthenic amphorae. It made use of the added white, pink, and red. In this technique the picture was painted with a brush, applying the color to the surface of the vase which had been coated with the black glaze matter, and sometimes details or other figures were added by incision. The vase was then subjected to the usual Attic three-stage firing. This was an interesting technique; the pottery is attractive and has a spontaneous quality, but it is somewhat crude, lacking the refinement of the conventional black-figure or red-figure work." This Attic piece is extremely rare to rare with this type of "Six's technique" design, and in addition, incised theater masks of this type seen on Attic ceramics is not often seen on the market. This piece is also classified as "Type 5B", according to the "John D. Beazley Shape Chart", and is an extremely rare type which is only seen circa early 5th century B.C. This complete piece is repaired from several fragments, and has only over paint where the pieces have come together, and overall, is an extremely fine example with a nice deep black glaze. Ex: Private German collection. (Note: Additional documentation is available to the purchaser.) I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition:

Hot answers tagged priority-inbox
Yes you can do this but not without a little bit of hacking around. From my answer at Equivalent of 'archive' for priority inbox \ multiple inbox : The only way that I have found to do it is either with the element inspector in chrome/safari or with firebug in firefox. The good news is that once you have made the settings change it will work in all ...
You can't control if a message will be marked as important in the recipient's inbox. The priority marks in Gmail are algorithm-determined so you can't control them. How importance ranking works To predict which of your incoming messages are important, Gmail automatically takes into account a number of signals, including: Who you email: If ...
Hover over inbox & click the dropdown arrow. Howevering over Inbox type lets you try out the tab-style UI for selecting Inbox type.
The correct filter is in:important Place that text in the text-box labeled Has the words when creating a filter.
The only solution that I could find was to access my Gmail account with a 3rd party service like Mail2Web (not free) via IMAP and look for mails in the [Gmail]/Important IMAP folder. I ended up using Ultimate Notifier because my goal was to get push notifications to my iPhone for important mail. Details on: http://apple.stackexchange.com/q/8250/3566
They are not tabs, it's just a Google suggestion to try out new types on inbox. Once you click on the x (close) button from the right, there is no way back.
I cannot repeat for the second account, but try accessing the settings (top right, the gear wheel) at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/inbox Then try rolling over the inbox section
Not currently possible without a bit of hacking. (See Ben's answer.) Out of the box you can have Inbox and... Important and unread Important Unread Starred OR all of a particular label. Can't combine Inbox and a different label the way you're looking to do.
The use of the priority inbox is controlled by the settings: To turn it off: go to : gear, settings. Click on the inbox tab. Change inbox to default. click save changes. Note: I also have don't use markers/don't use my past actions/don't override filters selected.
This is feature is not currently available. You can suggest new features (and vote for the most common suggestions) here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=suggest (perhaps using the "I have another idea" option at the bottom) Source: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/fbzQMggCzzw
It doesn't look like you can. When configuring a custom section for Priority Inbox, your option for messages is either: Inbox and one of (Important and Unread, Important, Unread, Starred) OR All from one particular label. You can't define a search (label:my-label is:unread for instance) for a priority inbox section.
As an alternative, have you tried the Multiple Inboxes lab feature? Click the gear icon -> Settings -> Labs, and find Multiple Inboxes. When you have activated it, a new tab appears on the settings screen. It lets you divide your inbox view into multiple sections. Each section displays the results of a pre-defined search. It should be possible to specify ...
A little bit late, but since I found this as the first result when searching for this very issue, I should add that it's possible. Set up the priority inboxes and your labels, if they aren't already. Apply a filter to archive "work" messages coming in so they skip the main inbox. Go to Settings > Inbox > Options next to the inbox section you want ...
Notice that all the unread messages that you have in your account are from ProZ.com (excluding the once you have blurred) and also the latest email is dated to Sep 24 - i.e., many months ago. It's possible that you have a label/filter that is making this messages skip the inbox. You should really check out each and every filter that you have. Also, I have ...
You might want to delete all your filters and recreate them. I had a similar problem and I think it was just a complicated filter setup. Recreating the filters helped me.
After more than a month of waiting and getting no answers at Google Groups from anyone at Google, as of today, it just started working again. Another Gmail feature broken and fixed by Google without a word.
Google says that label filters will never match incoming mail but that's a lie. label:important works fine for me. label:whatever seems to work fine too, if you created another filter that assigns that label. Perhaps what they were trying to say is what they say clearly anyway in the 2nd page of the filter's definition: the filter works on incoming mail only;...
Only top voted, non community-wiki answers of a minimum length are eligible
