RRA on Social Media
Romsdal Museum is shortlisted for a W.A.F. Award! Maybe the next "World Building of the Year"..? Results in November https://t.co/e7hGGDOaFb
We are excited to share with you that Romsdal Folk Museum has been shortlisted in this year's World Architecture Festival Awards in the Culture - Completed Buildings category.
Recently completed
RRA is one of the few studios in Norway today with such a degree of diverse assignments.
We have experience from smaller residential projects as well as large planning proposals, considerate landscape interventions and complex cultural and educational institutions.
Located by the Romsdal Fjord in Åndalsnes, the Norwegian Moutaineering Center design is an innovative interpretation of its surrounding landscapes...
... the design of the building is based on its function as a mountaineering center and gathering place for both locals and visitors ...
... its characteristic volume communicates its contents with exciting and unique geometrical expression ...
... its original outer skin is clad in a uniform surface of pixels reminiscing a snow-capped mountain !
On-going projects
As architects and designers we are fortunate to experience the overall process, from the first conceptual phase to the completion of high quality projects. We are eager to find pragmatic solutions with users as well as technical consultants, at the same time we are passionate to make sure that the original concept is carried through in the end result.
Construction is well on its way at Slipway Mandal, up to the roof! We'll soon be able to admire the beautiful skyline of the wooden housing complex along the waterfront.
Happy to announce another competition win: In the English garden of the former Canadian Embassy at Bygdøy, Oslo!
The competition consist of several exclusive condominiums developed by Solon Eiendom. This is one of Oslo's most beautiful sites and we are really excited about the commission!
The office has attained most of its projects by participating in open or invited competitions, and this is still the main endeavour of the office. RRA has been awarded prizes for 2/3 of its participated competitions. This emphasizes the conceptual and academic strength of the office.
In addition, RRA has received numerous awards and nominations for its works, both national and international.
February 9th The Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, officially opened "Romsdalsmuseet" by Reiulf Ramstad Architects. It took 9 years from the competition win to the completion...
We are very proud of the Building of course, so welcome to Molde - The Museum is now open for everyone to visit !

Multi-processor Systems-on-chip are currently designed by using platform-based synthesis techniques. In this approach, a wide range of platform parameters are tuned to find the best trade-offs in terms of the selected system figures of merit (such as energy, delay and area). This optimization phase is called design space exploration (DSE) and it generally consists of a multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem. The design space of a multi-processor architecture is too large to be evaluated comprehensively. So far, several heuristic techniques have been proposed to address the MOO problem, but they are characterized by low efficiency to identify the Pareto set. In this paper we propose a methodology for heuristic platform based design based on evolutionary algorithms and multi-level simulation techniques. In particular, we extend the NSGA-II with an approximate neural network meta-model for multiprocessor architectures in order to replace expensive platform simulations with fast meta-model evaluation. The model accuracy and efficiency is improved by exploiting high-level platform simulation techniques. High-level simulation allows us to reduce the overall complexity of the neural network and improving its prediction power. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques is able to reduce the number of simulations needed for the optimization without decreasing the quality of the obtained Pareto set. Results are compared with state of the art techniques to demonstrate that optimization time due to simulation can be sped up by adopting multi-level simulation techniques.

SosteNica began its loan fund work in the early 1990s as one of the very first organizations to offer micro loans to those who would never qualify for larger bank loans. I visited the women's weaving cooperative which was the recipient of their very first informal loan. The operation was small, only about a half a dozen women - all mothers. Their production had stopped completely since they did not have the capital to purchase the cotton thread needed to get their looms up and running. SosteNica offered them a modest loan and drove them to Managua, the capital city, to purchase their yarn. While the initial loan was essential, the technical assistance and faith expressed in their abilities strike me as some of the unique features of SosteNica's program. More than twenty years later, this weaving cooperative is still producing beautiful loom-woven textiles and providing meaningful income to these enterprising women. To me, this is a profound testimony to the effectiveness of micro-lending. SosteNica has offered me and many others the opportunity to stand with Nicaraguans who are working tirelessly to improve their standard of living through small, local businesses and farms.

My Website: MM PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIOMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/tarachin
Mayhem # 463588
About Me
AM COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT TO WORK WITH SELECTIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS ON PAID ASSIGNMENTS. I will be modeling again from early/mid 2016 after my braces are removed.
- I'm also a photographer & shoot self portraiture on a regular basis. I do not need to work with photographers to update my port. Unless you do phenomenal underwater work or are very talented above water, the chances are, I won't do a TFCD shoot. I now have 3 jobs, little free time and more pictures then I can count.
- I am now 35 years old. Yes I look young for my age thanks to my genes Lol, but I am a little older and have more age lines then I did 10 years ago. If you want a very young model, I'm not for you. I can still pose like a pro but I am not keen on headshots. I still prefer the focus on my whole then just my face.
- I only like tasteful work, including tasteful emotional erotica (strictly no privates/erections) and fetish work, mainly latex & costumes. I will never shoot spreads, porn, extreame gore or anything vulgar.
- I will always bring a chaperone/ assistant. I am a woman & my safety is more important then money. If you do not like other people on shoot, then you'll have to find another model. I work very well with 1, 3, 10, 50 people on shoot, I never lose focus nor get sidetracked. I've had one bad experience and I will never allow it to happen again. The only exception is that we've worked together before or you are female. I'm not going to put my life at risk for anyone. Sorry.
- Please provide a clear and detailed release form for me to sign. If you do not provide one, I'll assume you don't want ownership of the images. If we collaborate, both parties will have ownership of the image/s. This way both parties can use the full resolution sized image and may gain if they both decide to sell prints. I do the same for my models as I feel it is very unfair that the subject does not see a profit of any kind while the photographer gains everything, no matter how many hours the person spends editing. Without the model, the photographer does not have an image. If by any chance you should see this as pointless, the least that can be done; make a large canvas print of each finished image to pass to me as a one off payment, I will gladly place it on my art wall. If you still feel this is pointless, please don't contact me. I have seen too many photographers take all credit and the model is forgotten, ending up with only a low rez picture that can't even be printed out and admired when one has gotten old and frail. I have no patiance for selfish people, least of all photographers who ask me to buy prints of myself.
I have been swimming since before I was born ;P Dancing and painting before I could even talk (not a peep out of me until I was 3), an art & underwater model for the better part of 18 years, and more recently, a self taught photographer. Am hoping to venture into underwater photography in the near future as its my passion of all passions.
Lastly, a little about me as a person and how I work: I'm very passionate (did I mention I'm passionate? Hehe) about art, very serious when in deep concentration but extremely goofy & weird when in fun mode. I'm a chatterbox, very punctual, a perfectionist and my worst critique. I really dislike time wasters and no shows. Art is my driving force in life, my sole reason for existing and i believe, my journey to enlightenment. I hope you too feel the same about your art, and if so, we'll work great together!
I usually do my own makeup, make my own costumes, jewelry & props for most of my shoots. Nevertheless, if you are a talented Makeup Artist, Stylist or Designer, I'd love to hear from you if you are interested in collaborating. It would give my poor hands a chance to rest from all the crafts and sewing
"Constructive feedback can only move us towards evolution, pure expression & understanding the uniqueness of our soul"
~ FRIEND REQUESTS: The more the merrier! How else would I know you exist amongst thousands of MM talents? If I request, then I'm interested in working with you someday, or your work inspires me.
~ COMMENTS & TAGS. I try my best to reply each one but I tend to miss many on old pictures with high comment count, I do reply comments on new pictures. I love giving and receiving polite, genuine constructive comments. I feel this is far better then insincere one word comments.
~ MAILS: I always reply, unless you are really unprofessional, rude or just here to get laid. I'm here to work, I'm married and do not want to date you.

by LEONARD COHEN
1. According to the dust jacket copy of the first edition of Beautiful Losers (which Cohen had a hand in writing), this novel is "a wild and alarming journey through the landscape of the soul" of an elderly Montréal scholar in the 1960s who tries to heal his loneliness and despair by finding living answers to the two great questions that open the book: "Catherine Tekakwitha, who are you?" and "Can I love you in my own way?" Why is he obsessed with Catherine Tekakwitha, an Iroquois girl whom the Jesuits converted in the seventeenth century, and the first Indian maiden to take an Oath of Virginity? Why does she inspire his love? Why does he connect and muddle her up with his own dead wife, Edith, who is an almost wholly sexual creature?
2. The "old scholar" and "well-known folklorist" who is the unnamed narrator of Book I of the novel claims that "I am going to show you everything happening." To do this, Leonard Cohen combines a variety of narrative forms – monologues, letters, journals, grammar books, advertisements, catalogues, footnotes – and conflicting styles – history, poetry, drama, dreams, montage. This both dazzles and confuses the reader. Does technical virtuosity succeed in making this book all the things that the original dust jacket claims it is: "a love story, a psalm, a Black Mass, a monument, a satire, a prayer, a shriek, a road map through the wilderness, a joke, a tasteless affront, an hallucination, a bore, an irrelevant display of diseased virtuosity, a Jesuitical tract, an Orange sneer, a scatological Lutheran extravagance, in short, a disagreeable religious epic of incomparable beauty"? Can any one book be all these things for one reader?
3. As a love triangle, Beautiful Losers is the tale of an unnamed Jewish scholar, his wife Edith, and their friend and lover F., a Québécois MP who engages in anarchist activities on behalf of the separatist cause. The novel is divided into three Books: the Jewish scholar's history of their relationships, F.'s long letter to his friend, and "Beautiful Losers," an epilogue in the third person. Thus, both the male characters and the author's mouthpiece get to have their say while Edith remains silent. What does this silence say about her place in a story that involves another very powerful woman? Do the ways in which Edith and Catherine Tekakwitha are treated reflect the position of women in history at the middle of the twentieth century?
4. In traditional storytelling, names are used to define character. What purpose is served by not naming the central male characters? What is the point of not naming the vanishing tribe to which Edith belongs? What is the point of Edith's name? Who or what does the initial F. suggest?
5. Conventionally, plot develops over the course of a book but all the key events of Beautiful Losers are stated in the first few pages: the deaths of Edith and F., the beatification of Catherine Tekakwitha, the narrator's character and task. How does Cohen use three different narrative voices to explore the relationships of four characters to each other? How does Cohen capture both the narrator's various disorders and F.'s celebration of anarchy?
6. The basic situation – the conflict between F. and the narrator – expands outward rather than progresses onward in order to incorporate more and more of the imagined and less and less of the real. Do the characters' private beliefs make them greater than the world they inhabit? Do their beliefs finally distance them from their own bodies? Is this why both Edith and F. die?
7. The relationships of each character to the others is set out in terms of teacher and pupil, master and disciple, but the roles transfer back and forth in both predictable and unpredictable ways. Is F. speaking as teacher or student or both, for himself or for all of them when he says, "Hysteria is my classroom"?
8. In what ways does sharing their experiences of Edith as a lover bring the two men together? In what ways does it drive them apart? In what ways does it damage Edith?
9. The narrator is troubled by his inability to say what he most wants to say. His history of the A--------s, the vanishing Indian tribe, is sidetracked by his own fears, frustrations, and sadness. In 1970, in one of the earliest and best essays written about Beautiful Losers, Michael Ondaatje wrote of the narrator that "his mind is locked by a kaopectate of formal history, of poetic art, of the strict rules of courtly love." Is constipation the only parallel Cohen draws between the narrator's physical and mental states? If not, then what are some of the others? Are we left to decide for ourselves whether the narrator is frozen by grief or paralyzed by madness?
10. Book I is chock-a-block with clippings, advertisements, comics, odd facts, epigrams, reminiscences, interpretations of pop culture, which are at odds with the history the narrator is trying to write. The images are hilarious and the writing is wild and much of it is easily enjoyed just for itself. But what does all this contribute to Cohen's larger purpose, the narrator's quest for sainthood?
11. What is a saint? Cohen has his narrator answer, "a saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility.… I think it has something to do with the energy of love." What are the remote human possibilities that F., Edith, and Catherine Tekakwitha seek to achieve? Can they be stated systematically or can they only be suggested? What does it mean when it's said that a saint travels through the world like "an escaped ski"?
12. After the doubts, qualms, worries, reservations, fears, suspicions, uncertainties, attacks, tirades, invective, denunciations, rants, and harangues of the narrator, there's a significant change of style in Book II. F. is a flamboyant, exuberant, fanatical, mad, bullying, politically charged sensualist who wants to break down all the limitations that thwart the narrator in his quest for sainthood. By reconstructing the story of Edith's death in ways that destroy the narrator's physical and mental constipation, F. makes it possible for him (and us) to see Catherine Tekakwitha in new ways. What does F. show us about Catherine in his lucid account of her final four years that was missing from the narrator's version of her?
13. Despite his embrace of anarchy and hysteria, F. is obsessed by systems, especially world systems such as Christianity. He says, "Jesus probably designed his system so that it would fail in the hands of other men." Is this, as F. suggests, the way "the greatest creators… guarantee… their own originality"?
14. The System Theatre is the site of many of the key scenes in the book. It is a place where systems break down, starting with its own neon sign which flashes "stem Theatre, stem Theatre." "Stem," as Stephen Scobie (an astute commentator on all things Cohen) has pointed out, is the last word of Cohen's other novel, The Favourite Game, and reappears in his songs and poems. When systems break down and rational structures disintegrate, does the stem represent the possibility for growth that appears? What is the stem that Cohen's characters find within what remains of the native religious traditions of the Mohawk after its system has been destroyed by the Catholic Church?
15. It can be argued that the sex scene in the hotel room in Argentina is the key that finally and fully unlocks both the transcendental meaning and the low comedy of the book. This parody of an orgy is bizarre, wildly incongruous, silly, uproarious, side-splitting, weighty, intense, extreme, and sincere. Why doesn't the scene end when the Danish Vibrator is unplugged? Has it become eternal? Has Edith made a sympathetic gesture to Hitler before revealing herself as Isis? Who is Isis? What does it mean for Edith to be Isis rather than some other goddess?
16. Given the narrator's deep distrust of the Catholic Church for its puritanical inability to accept native sexuality, why is the end of the book "rented" to the Jesuits?
17. In Book III, all individuality is lost and the narrative becomes impersonal. Why does the beautiful loser transcend himself only at the moment he loses everything? Is this the only way to escape history?
18. Beautiful Losers can be read allegorically as a political fable. Hugh MacLennan's "two solitudes" are replaced by two solitary madmen who keep jerking each other around until the beautiful woman who is meant to unite them is utterly lost through too much history on one side and too much transcendence on the other. As a fable, it's an absolutely brutal satire that offers a clearer view of the peculiarities of Canadian repressiveness than anything else written in English in that period: the English are unresponsive to the French but the French are merciless to the Iroquois and the Jews don't do themselves any good. Does its political satire still find its mark forty years later?

We're excited to reignite Conversations About The Future Of Advertising with Barbarian Group co-founder, VC and author Rick Webb, who recently published Agency: Starting a Creative Firm in the Age of Digital Marketing.
Rick's book is really strong. He's cornered a lot of useful insights for agency owners, managers and anyone curious about how to improve their agency -- be it an advertising, design, technically-focused and/or in-house agency. You'll learn a lot!
We're going to talk primarily about culture -- and how culture influences everything from great ideas to client relationships, budgeting to contracts, creative briefs to cash projections, lawyers to exit strategies.
It's an honor to regroup with the team at MIMA to produce this event (REGISTER HERE). And a huge kudos to Fredrikson and Byron for sponsoring the rebirth of CATFOA.

Monday, May 2: Matt Howell - "Agencies: Welcome to the Software Business"
Please join us for the fourth and final episode of the 2011 edition of Conversations About The Future Of Advertising on Monday, May 2 when we welcome Matt Howell (@mrhowell), newly minted Managing Partner, Global Chief Digital Officer at Arnold Worldwide.
Whether they like it or not, ad agencies are getting into the software business. And this means change. The structures and processes that guided us for the past 50 years won't work for the next five. Matt will discuss how agencies can change to keep pace with consumers and technology.
Matt has built his career at the intersection between marketing and technology. As Managing Partner, Global Chief Digital Officer at Arnold, Matt leads digital teams across the agency's global network. He arrived at Arnold from years at Modernista!, where he left as President. While there, he managed the agency's transition from a focus on traditional to interactive media and technology. Previously, Matt spent seven years at R/GA. In his last four years at R/GA, he ran the Nike engagement and oversaw award-winning work on products such as Nike+, NikeiD and the Nike Online Store. He was also a part of the agency's expansion into Stockholm, Sweden. Matt began his career in traditional advertising at Ogilvy & Mather in London before transitioning to digital marketing in 1996. Since this time, he has overseen work for clients ranging from AT&T to Sony to Cadillac to Prada. Over his career, Matt's work has taken top honors at Cannes, the One Show, the Clios, and others, and has been featured regularly in Communication Arts and Creativity. He also sits on the Board of Directors at Boulder Digital Works at the University of Colorado, where he is a frequent lecturer.
This event is free. No RSVP required. Just show up!
Like our previous 18 speakers, Matt will appear at the Fine Line Music Cafe, 318 First Avenue North in Minneapolis.
Doors open at 5:15 p.m. Matt's presentation starts at 6:00 p.m.
(Maybe you're asking yourself, "Hey, wasn't Andrew Keller supposed to close the 2011 CATFOA series? He was. But he had to cancel. And so it goes. We're thrilled Matt was able to fit us into his schedule.)

Monday, April 4: Anders Sjostedt - "F*CK DIGITAL"
UPDATE: Video from Anders' presentation is embedded at the end of this article.
- - - - - - - - - -
Join us for the third session of Conversations About The Future Of Advertising on Monday, April 4, 2011 when we welcome Hyper Island USA Managing Director Anders Sjostedt (@anderssjostedt).
Based on Hyper Island's very recent experience counseling marketing and ad agency executives, it's easy to understand why agencies express worries their digital efforts aren't sufficient. In fact, whole floors of agency executives hope to retire—without really having to care about all that new technology stuff. The sentimentally inclined lament the loss of art and beauty in their work, often laying the blame on data, measurements and Facebook chats.
Meanwhile, CMOs are equally worried they're not able to ask the right questions when being presented with Google search optimization strategies, that they don't know how to trust the increasing flurry of agencies that advise them through more fragmented channels.
What most agency and marketing leaders have in common is that they really just want the whole digital thing to go away.
But there is still room for beauty and enchantment, argues Sjostedt. Everything doesn't have to be squeezed into 140 characters. Digital is not the message.
What digital does is change the way societies, humans, and consumers interact. We have to build our organizations accordingly. Creativity doesn't have to suffer, but be sure, both you and your organization will have to get ready for a serious digital, uhm, f*ck.
Based in Sweden, Hyper Island is a global leader in training within the digital/interactive field. As the Managing Director of Hyper Island USA, Anders Sjostedt is in charge of building and expanding the organization throughout the US and heading the company's Global Business Development. Previously, Anders was Director at Swedish Creative Industries and CEO of Sweden's largest business incubator, Minc.
This event is free. No RSVP required. Just show up!
Like our previous 17 speakers, Anders will appear at the Fine Line Music Cafe, 318 First Avenue North in Minneapolis.
Doors open at 5:15 p.m. Ander's presentation starts at 6:00 p.m.

Monday, February 28: Julie Roehm - "Fearless in the Face of Marketing Complexity"
UPDATE: Video of Julie's presentation is embedded down below.
- - - - - - - - - -
In the digital age, successful marketing organizations embrace and leverage the complexity wrought by interactive technologies—they're fearless in the face of empowered consumers and ever-changing media. On Monday, February 28, our second CATFOA speaker, Julie Roehm (@jaroehm), will bring decades of global marketing experience to the Twin Cities to discuss the advantages of her fearless approach.
Julie spent six years as a brand manager at Ford, before serving as Director of Marketing Communications for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, overseeing $2.1 Billion in marketing investment—earning praise from Brandweek as its 2004 Automotive Marketer of the Year. Also in 2004, Julie was inducted into the AAF Advertising Hall of Achievement for outstanding performance in the field of marketing and advertising to executives under 40 years old. She then moved to Wal-Mart, as Senior Vice President of Marketing Communications, with responsibilities for its $800M marketing budget. Julie currently serves as a marketing advisor and consultant through /Meta LLC for start ups, media companies and corporations including Sports Illustrated, Time, Credit Suisse and ADP. She is an official AOL blogger and commentator for Fox Business News.
This event is free. No RSVP required. Just show up!
Just like our previous 16 speakers, Julie Roehm will appear at the Fine Line Music Cafe, 318 First Avenue North in Minneapolis.

JERUSALEM (AP) - It's Christmas time for Greek Orthodox Christians, but their former patriarch in the Holy Land isn't celebrating.
Six years ago, Irineos (eer-ih-NAY-ohs) the First was deposed as patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem in a dispute over the sale of church land to Israelis.
Today, as his successor celebrates Christmas in Bethlehem, Irineos sits behind locked doors in his apartment in the Old City of Jerusalem, claiming he's a virtual prisoner.
The only way Irineos could speak to The Associated Press Thursday was through a wireless microphone hoisted at the end of a rope to his roof -- the same way he gets groceries.
Church officials deny Irineos is under house arrest, and say he's a liar.

A unique observational data set was used to explore quality at the point of service in after-school programs. Staff practices in after-school settings were represented on a series of unidimensional scales closely indexed to staff behavior. In order to account for heterogeneity of staff performances, pattern-centered methods were used to construct profiles of common staff practices. Results revealed six pedagogy profiles that were classified in terms of three broad types of performances delivered by after-school staff: (1) positive youth development, (2) staff-centered, and (3) low-quality. Staff membership in these profiles was not related to youth-staff ratio. However, results revealed significant differences between the profiles on the content of the offering and the age of youth in the setting.

Does anybody has a blank wordpress theme. I mean no fonts, positioning , colors, etc. But with Ajax commenting, Ajax Search, Ajax everything...
Does anybody has a blank wordpress theme. I mean no fonts, positioning , colors, etc. But with Ajax commenting, Ajax Search, Ajax everything...
A few item turn up with this search in Google:
site:wordpress.org/support/ ajax theme
Copy that into the search box.
hmm, not really interesting results for me in that search request...
I'm looking for a BLANK AJAX theme, browsing google for few days now :(
You realize that a blank theme will actually be much more work to create than using one already made as a base design?
Take an existing AJAX theme and simply place your style of fonts and colors in place of the ones used... an extra bonus of this is you can see how the existing theme is using the AJAX functionality.
I suppose if you were really neurotic about it you could get an existing theme and make it blank yourself.... but really, if you don't know how to "blank" a theme or modify an existing one you're not going to know how to create one from a blank state anyway.
I don't like to strip down existing themes... I rather have a blank theme wich i can re-use everytime i need to create a weblog... Take a look at http://www.miklb.com/blog/2005/my-site/blank-wordpress-theme/ to see wat i mean with a blank theme (no AJAX library is included).
I created one that has an ajax sidebar and ajax comments. Its based off Kubrick. Here is the link to it. http://fauxzen.com/code/wordpress/kubrijax/
My blank theme is based on the work done by urban giraffe
At the time, I was learning theme design (still learning), and wanted to be able to pick up a file and go, so I followed the four part tutorial, stripped out the declarations for the CSS, and packaged it up and shared. I'm thinking of a v2, that simplifies things down even more.
A v2 sounds awesome, miklb!
Okay... i decided to make my own. Check out this topic : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69356

F.B.I. Warns of Growing Arson Campaign
The F.B.I. warned today that the Earth Liberation Front, a shadowy environmental group, was stepping up a nationwide campaign of arson. Hours before the group claimed responsibility today for fires last month at the University of Washington and a tree farm in Oregon, three logging trucks were set afire in an Oregon forest. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Alabama County Aims to Slash 33% of Workers
Jefferson County, Ala., struggling with the fallout of a failed sewer bond financing, is considering whether to lay off nearly one-third of its work force in an effort to stave off what would be the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, a county official said Monday.
The county's finance committee will meet Tuesday to discuss the possibility of $12.3 million in budget cuts, which would include 697 layoffs, Commissioner Jimmie Stephens said. He said the five-member county commission could vote by week's end on the cuts, which would affect all of the county's departments.
"We must become accustomed to a lesser amount of services," given the county's current circumstances, Mr. Stephens said. The proposed cuts would allow the county to operate through the end of this fiscal year, he said. As much as $30 million in additional cuts, on an annualized basis, may be necessary in the next fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1.
"We don't know what the revenues are that we will have yet," he said. "We will match our services to our revenues."
The cuts are necessary because the county lost a crucial revenue source in March when the state Supreme Court ruled that a jobs tax, which brought in about one-third of the county's operating revenue, was unconstitutional. The lost tax revenue represents an even larger portion, roughly 44%, of the money the county actually has control over for general operations, due to the "earmarking" of most revenue for various purposes, Mr. Stephens said.
The loss of the tax comes as the county has already been battling bankruptcy for roughly three years, thanks to $3.2 billion in debt it accrued from the soured sewer-system financing. The county, home to the state's largest city, Birmingham, is also recovering from a disastrous tornado in late April that, according to the Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency, killed 21 people and destroyed about 5,700 structures. Filing for municipal bankruptcy is "still on the table" as an option for the county, but only as a last resort measure, Mr. Stephens said.
County officials had hoped state legislators would pass a law that would give the county the ability to raise its own revenue to replace some of the money lost from the jobs tax. But time is running out as the legislative session ends this week.
So far, out of a number of proposals made to help the county with its finances, lawmakers have only approved a bill that would let the county impose a business license tax, expected to raise $7 million a year.
Meanwhile, Jefferson County also said in a disclosure filing Friday that it received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service, which wants to examine $2.3 billion of sewer debt it issued in 2003 to ensure it is in compliance with federal tax laws.
"The county is in the process of providing the information requested by the IRS and will cooperate with the IRS," said the filing, which was made on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Electronic Municipal Market Access website.
An IRS spokeswoman declined to comment on the Jefferson County disclosure. Mr. Stephens also declined to comment.

For some reason, I tend to associate closures with functional languages. I believe this is mostly because the discussions I've seen concerning closures is almost always in an environment that is focused around functional programming. That being said, the actual practical uses of closures that I can think are are all non-functional in nature.
Are there practical uses of closures in functional languages, or is the association in my mind mostly because closures are used to program in a style that's also common to functional programming languages (first class functions, currying, etc)?
Edit: I should clarify that I refering to actual functional languages, meaning I was looking for uses that preserve referential transparency (for the same input you get the same output).
Edit: Adding a summary of what's been posted so far:
- Closures are used to implement partial evaluation. Specifically, for a function that takes two arguments, it can be called with one argument which results in it returning a function that takes one argument. Generally, the method by which this second function "stores" the first value passed into it is a closure.
- Objects can be implemented using closures. A function is returned that has closes around a number of variables, and can then use them like object attributes. The function itself may return more methods, which act as object methods, which also have access to these variables. Assuming the variables aren't modified, referential transparency is maintained.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Antibody fragment imaging specialist ImaginAb signed a master service agreement with Singapore Radiopharmaceuticals, a Fortis HealthCare subsidiary that provides GMP radiopharmaceutical production services. ImaginAb is developing antibody fragment-based PET imaging agents for use in the clinical management of autoimmune diseases and cancer, and is establishing R&D and preclinical imaging capabilities in Singapore.
"The deal with Singapore Radiopharmaceuticals represents a key component in this expansion program," comments Christian Behrenbruch, Ph.D., CEO. "Singapore Radiopharmaceuticals has an excellent track record in custom radiochemistry and cGMP product manufacturing, and we are pleased to transition our ad hoc collaboration to more robust alliance."
ImaginAb's in-house pipeline includes early clinical-stage products for imaging and staging prostate, pancreatic, and breast cancers. The firm separately has over a dozen partnered programs in progress to develop companion diagnostic imaging agents for use alongside therapeutic antibody drugs in clinical trials. Partnered projects are exploiting the ability to reengineer a therapeutic monoclonal antibody or antibody-drug conjugate into an imaging agent that retains the same biospecificity of the parent product, but exhibits kinetics suitable for clinical imaging using low-cost isotopes. ImaginAb claims this ability to develop imaging antibodies that retain the same binding characteristics as the therapeutic antibody could represent a transformative technology for patient selection, monitoring treatment responses and looking for new therapeutic indications for antibodies.

shank's mare
Definition of shank's mare
: one's own legs <traveling by shank's mare>
Did You Know?
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! Many travelers in centuries past would have agreed with King Richard's famous lines from Shakespeare's Richard III - when you needed to travel any distance in the days before automobiles, you definitely wanted a horse. When one wasn't available, you had to rely on your built-in transportation equipment, your feet and legs. The word shank has been used to mean "the lower leg" since before the 12th century, and "shank's mare" first appeared in writing in the late 1700s. Another vivid expression connecting people and horses was "horse with ten toes," but that one is now relegated to history.
Circa 1795

Released: Feb 01st, 2006
Running Time: 112
Company: Harmony Concepts
Cast: Sadie Belle, Jane Burgess, Julie Simone, Angelique Lei, Mary Jane (I), Amber Michaels, Sadie Atkins, Karina Santos, Courtney Chambers
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
The Harmony Concepts studio is haunted. One minute pretty models are going about their business without interference, and the next minute they've been bound by invisible hands.
It's lovely underwear all around when Mary Jane and Julie Simone tour the studio and enjoy the ghostly rope work. Then Misty Grayson and Amber Michaels indulge their never ending competitive spirit in a side-by-side bondage scene that finds them simultaneously bound hand and foot to the bed and struggling.
Then Angelique Lei and Sadie B. tie one another to a bondage frame before two sweet-faced girls are bound to office chairs and left to wiggle, whimper and make unhappy faces.
All the ladies look fine, but there's far more dialogue than most of them can easily pull off. Fortunately they look fine in their unmentionables, while wrapped in rope and gagged.
Retailing: A little chatty for the impatient bondage and struggling fan, but should do for those willing to wait a bit for their fun.

Capacity constraints in the mortgage origination business should start to ease as banks are adding or transferring thousands of staff to keep up with booming refinance demand. It may mean lower rates for borrowers as previous low capacity allowed lenders to keep the benefits of the Fed's QE to themselves. It's also likely to lead to an even faster rate of prepayments, not what the agency mREITs near to hear.
Capacity constraints in the mortgage origination business should start to ease as banks are...
Comments (1)
I think that your focus on the loss of profits for lenders when refinancers secure lower rates overlooks the impact that the security of lower rates for home owners could have in influencing renters to become home owners -- inspiring and driving a significant expansion of new and resold home ownership that would lead to greater profits for lenders.

Though I highley doubt the domination part of what your saying simply becuase in sparring your both supposed to work together, meaning he is going light on you so if your "upping your game" you cant really call that domination maybe he is allowing you to so he can work on something to add to his ****nal.
I agree with part of what the first person said, that is where the mental part of this game comes up, Bring out that poker face when you get up... This will make him think you may have recovered a bit from that shot rather than allowing him to think he has got you where he wants you...
once you get up, get back to quick boxing, meaning get on them feet and get your jab going do not for one second allow him to think your fazed at all by that shot, (
even if your hurt than a mother ****er dont let him know that
) any little clue you give him means bad things for you....
if you know how to relax catch your breathe and get the **** out of the way and know how to get the **** out of the way when your hurt.... you will be okay... if your stupid enough to try and pay him back my hats off to ya, you have ***** kid, but they will be the death of ya~

You don't need to be vegan to appreciate tofu
By J.M. HIRSCH,
AP Food Editor
Many years ago, I was vegan. And I was rather fond of my tofu.
That was many years ago. Today I am rather fond of my bacon. And steak. And eggs. And all manner of cheeses.
Unusual Thanksgiving green
By J.M. HIRSCH
Of all the many green vegetables available to us, we tend to be profoundly lacking inspiration when it comes to selecting one for Thanksgiving.
Generally, it's either green beans or Brussels sprouts. And while both are fine vegetables, wouldn't it be nice if just once the token nod to something green on the table was something a little different? Wouldn't it be nice if in that sea of brown and beige (turkey, gravy, stuffing, rolls, mashed potatoes) the green had some pizazz?
A perfect pizza
Until recently, I was convinced the triumvirate of perfect pizza toppings was tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. Simple. Classic. Delicious.
Then I encountered a maple-bacon-butter pizza and discovered new depths of pizza perfection and appreciation. But first, a disclaimer seems warranted. If this pizza was on a menu, it most certainly would not have one of those happy little heart icons next to it. Digest at your own risk.

Payables. The movie.
While we've been working flat out on multi-currency we've also managed to surface our first steps in another important area we've been working on. Payables!!!
Payables or creditor processing can be one of the most time consuming activities for businesses. Today we've released the first of a series of upcoming features that will make payables processing a breeze.
Check out the following movie:
Now you can plan when you will pay certain bills and nudge them a few days if you need to. We sat down with lots of businesses and discovered this is often how you work.
Can anyone guess what's coming next?

I am trying to mirror a column from one excel sheet to another within the same excel book. The goal is to have the second sheet update as the first sheet is edited. Basically, as I add/remove rows in the first sheet, it will do the same automatically in the second sheet.
My column has employee names, and as people move in/out of the office I will be adding/removing them accordingly. My sheets track different data, but the employees are all the same. My first sheet is the primary sheet and the rest pull data accordingly. Would a mirroring formula work? Also, how do you get it to apply to the entire column?

Reese Witherspoon hit by car during jog in Calif.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. Actress Reese Witherspoon was struck by a car while jogging near Los Angeles on Wednesday morning and suffered minor injuries.
Santa Monica police Sgt. Richard Lewis says the Oscar-winning actress was hit by a car driven by an 84-year-old woman.
Witherspoon was running in an unmarked crosswalk in Santa Monica when the driver struck her at about 20 mph. The 35-year-old actress was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Lewis says the driver was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Witherspoon's portrayal of June Carter in the 2005 film "Walk the Line" won her a best-actress Oscar.

Stayed here one night in a King size bed. Nice! comfortable! The place didn't have automatic doors which made it a bit tricky for trying to get yourself and luggage in without some contortions. The AC was already on and the room was chilled perfectly! Had a great night's sleep. The shower in the morning was hot and refreshing. Booked with room with using points from Choice Hotels rewards program. Room key get's you 10% off at Perkins restaurant which means that you don't pay tax :) Employees were very nice. We arrived very late so we just went in and went to bed. For some reason the tv was unplugged. Overall this was a very nice place to stay whi

Mental Training for Athletes
For all you athletes (or aspiring exercisers like me, at this point), your mental training can be as important to your success as your physical training!
I have written about my experience with visualizing myself winning races in high school. I recently heard Usain Bolt, the 100m world record holder, also commenting on how he uses similar techniques to gain a mental advantage in his running.
Check out this information on the topic that I received recently from Silva Life System:
Using the Mind in Sports
Dr. Charles Garfield, former NASA researcher and current president of The Performance-Science Institute in Berkeley, California, talks about a startling experiment conducted by Soviet sports scientists.
The study examined the effect of mental training, including visualization, on four groups of world-class athletes just prior to the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The four groups of elite athletes were divided as follows:
Group 1: did 100% physical training.
Group 2: did 75% physical training, 25% mental training.
Group 3: did 50% physical training, 50% mental training.
Group 4: did 25% physical training, 75% mental training.
What the researchers found was that group 4 – the group with the most mental training – had shown significantly greater improvement than group 3.
Likewise, group 3 showed more improvement than group 2, and group 2 showed more improvement than group 1.
The results were astonishing. Who would expect that athletes training mentally would be able to advance further than their counterparts who were training physically?
Garfield said, "During mental rehearsal, athletes create mental images of the exact movements they want to emulate in their sport. Use of this skill substantially increases the effectiveness of goal-setting, which up until then had been little more than a dull listing procedure."

great topic! having participated as a "professional" in a shooting sport for over a 15 year span, the mental game is what spawns "champions"? hard to make the everyday shooter acknowledge that "winners" are not just gifted with natural talent……though that can speed along a successful sports career. it is hard work to make oneself concentrate to the level that certain competitions require, and that requires hours of beforehand training mentally.
having participated in "team sports" from childhood to college, i only scratched the surface in high school baseball while spending hours in a batting cage? as looking back it is easy to see i was lazy and really just expected good things to happen? moving on and into individual sports made competing to one's ability come to rest completely on your shoulders.
once coming to the conclusion that you really where only competing against yourself? i could then look back at all the baseball i played from 7yo on, and as those 4 groups you list in the article display……as to why so many "coaches" could not win even when their players possessed a lot of natural talents. Pete Rose was a hustler no doubt, and not saying Ted Williams wasn't either……but Ted's batting stats demonstrate was a committed mental game was capable of? just think if he had not served his country those years in the prime of his career what he may have accomplished? joe

This might be funny if it were fiction, but it's about real people. It's tacky and in very bad taste. I wouldn't watch it even if it were free.
Spike their drinks and drill holes in their heads. A heart as big as the all outdoors. Polite golf claps for Ed Gein and his musical.
I know Dan. He's wickedly ambitious. From the trailer, I can see ok production values. Photography looks good, sound is ok, costumes great (although how hard was that?). He's gifted at generating enthusiasm for a project and marshalling it together.
This film looks like the result of a late night bender that should have been dropped the morning after. It's supposed to be stupid funny. But probably just stupid. Hoping for a cult classic? Maybe a cult of "Dan."
Too bad. So many good Wisconsin writers who could use his talents to make things happen. Gotta let that ego take a backseat Dan.
Still. Good luck. Musta been lotsa fun.
Too bad Dan's abilities to marshal a project together can't be directed toward a worthy effort. So many good Wisconsin stories- so few who have the ability to bring them to the big screen.
Too bad they just ripped off "Cannibal: The Musical" made by the creators of South Park over a decade ago.
Really - he should make a movie about those guys in northern Wisconsin who shot the feds. These guys were draft resisters in WWI (WWII?) and killed the feds who came to get them. I think some of the records on the case are still sealed.
Cainemain, my uncle saw the film about a month ago in Minneapolis or St. Paul and he loved it. He thought it was well done and funny as hell. He should know a little about film, he worked on a few films in the 70's (One of which was the Bond film "Diamonds are Forever") Although he generally agrees with you that Dan Davis' ego is pretty d@#M big! He begrudgingly liked him though and really enjoyed the film.

CWC Bulldog Trent Williams lost his bid for a no-hitter in the last inning, but was dominant throughout in a 12-0 victory for the Bulldogs at Elverado on Thursday. Catcher Tyson Russell explained, "Every pitch he had was working. He was just un-hittable. It was as simple as that."
Coach Craig Winter noted that Williams' pitches had great movement, which made them extremely effective. He also said that his team seems to be pulling out of their mid-season mini-slump by doing things the way they are supposed to, including much sharper defensive play.
The Bulldogs also had a good day at the plate with 11 hits in five innings, including home runs by Tyler Barbre and Tyson Russell.
