CATHERINE PUGLISI pg 414
(from Le vite de' pittori Rome 1642 pp. 136-9)
Michelangelo was born in Caravaggio in Lombardy and was the son of a respectable master builder named Amerigi. He began to study painting and because nobody in Caravaggio could teach him in the way he wanted he went to Milan and lived there for some time. Then he came to Rome with the intention of applying himself diligently to this noble discipline.
At first he settled down with a Sicilian painter who had a shop of crude works of art. Then he went to stay for some months in the house of Cavalier Giuseppe Cesari d'Arpino. After this he tried living by himself and he made some small pictures of himself drawn from the mirror. The first was a Bacchus with some bunches of various kinds of grapes painted with great care but a little dry in style. He also painted a boy who was bitten by a lizard as it emerged from flowers and fruits; that head actually seemed to cry out and it was all done very carefully. Nevertheless he was unable to sell these works and soon found himself in a pitiable state without money and very poorly dressed. Fortunately some charitable gentlemen of the profession came to his aid until Maestro Valentine an art dealer near San Luigi dei Francesi arranged to sell a few of the paintings. On this occasion he made the acquaintance of Cardinal del Monte who being an art lover took him into his house. Now that he had a home and an allowance he gathered his courage and reputation and painted for the Cardinal youths playing music very well drawn from nature and also a youth playing a lute. Everything in this picture looked alive and real most notably a carafe of flowers filled with water in which one could easily distinguish the reflections of a window and other objects in the room. On those flowers was fresh dew rendered with exquisite accuracy. This Caravaggio said was the best picture he had ever made.
He portrayed a gypsy telling a young man's fortune with beautiful colours. He painted a Divine love conquering the profane and a very terrifying head of a Medusa with vipers for hair and placed on a shield which was presented as a gift by the Cardinal to the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany.
On the recommendation of his Cardinal he obtained the commission for the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi where over the altar he painted Saint Matthew with an Angel. On the right side the Apostle is called by the Saviour and on the left side he is wounded on the altar by the executioner with other figures. The vault of the chapel however is very well painted by Cavalier Giuseppe Cesari d'Arpino.
This work because it contained some paintings drawn from life and was in the company of others made by Cavalier Giuseppe whose talent had aroused some envy on the part of his colleagues increased Caravaggio's fame and was highly praised by malicious persons. But when Federico Zuccaro came to see it while I was there he said: 'What is all the fuss about?' and carefully examining the entire work added: 'I do not see anything here but Giorgione's conception in the picture of the Saint when Christ called him to the Apostolate'; and sneering and marvelling at all this excitement he turned on his heel and left.
For Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani he made a seated Cupid drawn from life so exquisitely coloured that the Marchese admired Caravaggio's works beyond limits; and the painting of a Saint Matthew that he had first made for that altar in San Luigi which no one had liked he took for himself because it was Michelangelo's work. The Marchese's opinion of Caravaggio was reinforced by the great fuss which was made of him everywhere by his henchman Proserpino [Orsi] of the grotesques who was hostile to Cavalier Giuseppe. Signor Ciriaco Mattei for whom Caravaggio had painted a Saint John the Baptist and Our Lord on the road to Emmaus and the [painting] in which Saint Thomas touches the Saviour's chest with his finger was likewise seduced by the uproar and Caravaggio relieved that gentleman of many hundreds of scudi.
In the first chapel on the left in the church of S. Agostino he painted a Madonna of Loreto portrayed from life with two pilgrims one of them with muddy feet and the other wearing a torn and soiled bonnet: and because of these frivolities in the details which a great picture must have the populace made a great fuss over it.
The pictures in the Madonna del Popolo on the right side of the main altar in the chapel of the Signori Cerasi and facing each other on the side walls the Crucifixion of Saint Peter and the Conversion of Saint Paul are all by Caravaggio. These pictures were first worked by him in another manner but as they did not please the patron Cardinal Sannesio took them for himself: and Caravaggio himself made those which can now be seen painted in oil because he did not work in a different manner: and (so to speak) Fortune and Fame carried him along.
In the Chiesa Nuova on the right side in the second chapel is his Dead Christ about to be buried with other figures painted in oil; and this is said to be his best work.
In St Peter's in the Vatican he also made a Saint Anne with the Madonna who holds the Child between her legs and who with her foot is crushing a serpent's head - a work painted for the Palafrenieri of the palace - but it was removed on the order of the Cardinals of the Fabbrica [di San Pietro] and then given by the Palafrenieri to Cardinal Scipione Borghese.
For the Madonna della Scala in Trastevere he painted the death of the Madonna but because he had portrayed the Madonna with little decorum swollen and with bare legs it was taken away; and the Duke of Mantua bought it and placed it in his most noble gallery.
He painted a Judith cutting off the head of Holofernes for the Signor Costi and several pictures for others which I omit because they are not in public places; instead I will say something of his habits.
Michelangelo Amerigi was a sarcastic and haughty man. He would sometimes speak badly of all the painters of the past and present no matter how distinguished they were because he thought that he alone had surpassed all the others in his profession with his works. However some people consider him to have been the ruination of painting because many young artists after his example are devoting themselves to imitating a head from life without studying the rudiments of artistic design and of spatial depth. They are only satisfied with colouring; thus they are incapable of putting two figures together or of composing any story because they do not understand the value of so noble an art. Because of the excessive ardour of his spirit Michelangelo was a little wild and he sometimes looked for the chance to break his neck or to risk the lives of others. People as quarrelsome as he were often to be found in his company: and having in the end confronted Ranuccio Tomassoni a well-mannered young man over some disagreement about a tennis match they challenged one another to a duel. After Ranuccio fell to the ground Michelangelo struck him with the point of his sword and having wounded him in the thigh killed him. Everyone fled Rome and Michelangelo went to Palestrina where he painted a Saint Mary Magdalen. From there be travelled to Naples where he also made many things. Then he went to Malta and being invited to pay his respects to the Grand Master he painted his portrait as a sign of merit; that prince then presented him with the habit of Saint John and made him a Knight of Grace. Here engaged in some sort of dispute with a Knight of Justice Michelangelo insulted him in some way and ended up in prison. After escaping from the prison by night he fled from Malta to the island of Sicily where he made some works in Palermo. As he was being chased by his enemy he decided to return to the city of Naples; but here the enemy finally caught up with him and he was so severely wounded in the face that he was almost unrecognizable. Having given up all hope of revenge although he had attempted it he boarded a felucca bound for Rome with a few of his belongings on the assurance that Cardinal Gonzaga was negotiating with Pope Paul V for his pardon. When he got ashore he was mistakenly captured and put in prison where he was held for two days. On his release unable to find the felucca he was furious and made his way along the coast in desperation under the cruel heat of the summer sun trying to catch sight of the vessel at sea that was carrying his belongings. Finally reaching a place of habitation along the shore he was put to bed with a malignant fever: and after a few days without human succour he died as miserably as he had lived. If Michelangelo Amerigi had not died so soon he would have accomplished much in his art because of the good style of painting from nature he had taken up even though he did not have much judgment in selecting the good and avoiding the bad in the things he represented. Nevertheless he acquired a great reputation and people paid more for his heads than for the history pictures of others; such is the value of popularity which does not judge with its eyes but looks with its ears. And his portrait now hangs in the Academy.

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light" ...Albert Schweitzer
I'm a positive person who tries to find the best in everyone. I have been married twice but my second marriage my husband passed after only 9 months. It was a good marriage and I got very close to his kids and go to UT to visit them as often as I can.I love being a mom and love being a wife but am willing to wait to find the man that Heavenly Father wants me to be with. I love life and all it has to offer us. I Feel so blessed to have the Gospel in my life. Other then my 9 month marriage I have been single for almost 10 years. I would like to meet someone special but am not desperate.
How I feel about the Church...
The Gospel is the most important thing in my life. It has gotten me through some really tough times. It is important for me to find someone with a strong testimony of the Gospel and who lives it. I feel that having this base in my life keeps me centered and gives me the strength to carry on.
What I do for fun...
I love too dance, snowmobile, water ski(even though it has been a long time), swimming, being with family, friends. I love to be spontaneous. My favorite foods are Mexican and Italian not necessarily in that order. I enjoy bowling, roller staking, Ice skating, watching my kids play football, spontaneous road trips. I like to cook for someone who appreciates it. I love to spoil the right person rotten. My kids are the 2nd most important thing to me right now. But my relationship with my Father in heaven will always be #1. If the I am blessed to find a companion my priority will be My God, My Husband and then my Children. I am a mother bear. I have 10 kids with all of my step kids(I only use "step" to explain the situation). I love them all as though they were my own and always will. I do believe that if we are blessed to have more people come into our lives that our hearts and the love we have just expands.

If I decide to wait for the $2 a share in 2 years, do I get to defer all my capital gains from this rise in price on TSRX? Thanks in advance....
I am sitting for the CPA exam soon and have also taken tax courses. You will have to pay the short term capital gains up to 13.50 whether you sell it or not. I had this happen to me a few months ago with Obagi. As for the $2 coupon you also do not have to pay gains on that until they are exercised since you aren't even positive that income will be coming in
dleonard1991...I believe the CVR's will be listed securities and will have a trading value as of the close of the merger. Say, just for example, the CVR's could be sold day one of the merged companies at say .50 per right. Could the IRS then argue that because they had a marketable value the day you received them, that such was part of the total consideration you received in the merger, and tax them accordingly??
I would take 10k Cubist shares for mine... Any possibility Cubist might sweeten the pot and keep us around?
I was thinking the coupon would be LTCG if it pays out in the future. The 13.50 may be taxable based on the day of the deal. I am going to call my accountant later on. Some of my shares are LTCG and some may end up as ST cap gain. I would have rather had CBST shares to let me for sure hold to LTCG into 2014. This is all contingent on this deal holding up for sure or if the might come a White Knight. Call an accountant. I am buying 6000 shares 10 minutes ago. Oh well, the $2 coupon is worth more than current Share price IMO.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Nearly 100,000 Americans are killed or injured in gun violence every year. This inflicts a heavy toll on families and communities. The Joyce Foundation works with law enforcement, policy makers and advocates to develop common sense gun violence reduction and prevention policies that keep our communities safe.
Gun laws in the U.S. allow for easy access to an unlimited number of almost any type of firearm, by virtually anyone. As a result, convicted felons, people with mental illness, and domestic abusers can and do obtain deadly firearms with impunity. Likewise, firearms for sale to civilians have become increasingly lethal, with military-style assault weapons readily available at gun stores and shows throughout the country.
A growing body of research shows that strong gun laws correspond with lower rates of gun death and injury. The Joyce Foundation supports efforts to build awareness about the problem of gun violence in America, and to educate the public, policy makers and the media about common-sense policies that improve public health and safety. Learn More.
Every day, gun violence threatens the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers across the country. The Joyce Foundation supports policies and practices that help law enforcement combat gun crime and violence and ensure their safety. Through grants to groups such as the Police Executive Research Forum and Police Foundation, the Foundation is helping to facilitate efforts by the law enforcement community to strengthen the nation's response to gun violence. Learn More.
The Joyce Foundation believes that access to data and sound research on gun violence is critical to the development of effective public policies to reduce firearm injuries and deaths. We are proud of our role in establishing the National Violent Death Reporting System, now a project of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which links data from multiple sources to provide a complete picture of the circumstances surrounding violent deaths in the U.S. Research supported by the Joyce Foundation also helps to understand and explain the link between access to firearms and suicide, the risk firearms pose to children, and the sources of illegal guns.

This is a shared journal of the holy work of a birth doula.
"This Holy Work" is not meant to imply that the doula herself is holy, or that her work is above anyone else's. It simply means that to be part of the sacred dance of birth is to bear witness to the unfolding of holiness.
It means honing one's awareness of the ying and yang of birth; the delicate and the strong, the feminine and the masculine.
Birth is Life and Life is Birth. The servitude of birth is simply an invitation to behold. And thus, we are all immersed in Holy Work.
Come along the journey with me as we weave our own lessons from the gift of birth.

USA Student Computer Use Policy
USA provides student access to computer resources through the wireless, JagMail (email), web servers, and departmental labs located throughout
campus. Students using these resources must adhere to all policies of the
University of South Alabama regarding the use of computers and computer networks.
Lab privileges can be denied to anyone using University equipment for
illegal or unethical purposes. Any illegal behavior observed in the labs
will be reported to appropriate University officials or law enforcement
agencies. Anyone using the lab computers in this way, or any other generally
inconsiderate manner, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
Such behaviors/activities include, but are not necessarily limited to,
the following:
Illegal Activity
Strictly Prohibited Behaviors/Activities
Considerate Use
In addition to all guidelines in the policies stated here, all USA students
are subject to the rules outlined in the Code
of Student Conduct and the
Student Academic Conduct
Policy, which are both published in The
Violations of any USA computer policies incur the same types of disciplinary
measures as other University policies or state or federal laws (up to and
including criminal prosecution).
Additional Guidelines for Students
Sexually Explicit Material. All students are expected to effectively discriminate
between professional and unprofessional portrayals of nudity and sexuality.
This is an important aspect of professional judgment in many fields of
study. Dealing with nudity, the examination of the human body and the full
range of human sexuality are relevant and appropriate to those in medical
and other professions. A number of Internet sites (e.g., The National Library
of Medicine and NIH) portray some such materials. Individuals working in
medical school and nursing labs should expect to occasionally encounter
nudity and professional portrayals of sexually explicit material.
Appropriate Activity. While the full range of free speech is supported
and encouraged, USA students should always be mindful of the fact that
the computer labs are located in public areas. Materials on screens visible
to others working in the lab, materials that are deliberately or inadvertently
left behind on the hard drive, and materials posted to the Internet from
this lab should reflect well on the professionalism of our programs. Imposing
exposure to inappropriate sexual materials upon student or faculty colleagues
working nearby (or using the lab at a later time) might be construed as
sexual harassment. Those in doubt about appropriate activity should seek
faculty advice.
Confidentiality. Confidentiality is another issue affecting students using
the labs. Under no circumstances should students leave, post or transmit
confidential material such as research data, case reports or private notes
about patients (or case studies) on these computers. The University takes
no responsibility for student work left on lab machines, even if the lab
facilitator gave permission for it to be on the machine. Any such work
may, at any time, be erased accidentally or in routine clean-up activities.
Students should not leave private work or communications on these computers,
nor should they read any private information accidentally left by others.
No material should be left on these computers without permission from the
lab facilitator.
Reliability of Information. Students should remember that material on
the Internet may or may not be accurate and reliable. It is critical that
any information found on the Internet is carefully evaluated, especially
with regard to pharmacology and health information.

California Debate: No Knockout Moment for Kashkari
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Californians Thursday night got their first and perhaps only shot at seeing incumbent Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown duke it out in a televised debate with his long-shot Republican challenger, former Treasury official Neel Kashkari.
If a winner had to be declared, it was the 76-year-old governor, if only by simple default in this solidly blue state, experts said. Mr. Brown did not have an exceptional performance, but he didn't need to, and there was no stumble or gaffe Thursday night that will likely haunt him come November.

- Hedge Fund Founder Steve Cohen Gave Big to Boost Republican Governors
Mr. Kashkari, the 41-year-old former Goldman Sachs employee best known for running the Treasury Department's bank-rescue program, faces long odds in his effort to unseat the popular governor. Mr. Brown holds a large financial advantage over Mr. Kashkari and a 50%-34% lead among likely voters, according to a Field Research poll released ahead of the debate.
Nevertheless, the debate was lively and substantive, displaying Mr. Kashkari's ability to deliver a concise talking point, and Mr. Brown's skill at counterpunching with the occasional acerbic quip.
Halfway through the debate, Mr. Kashkari concluded an attack on California's implementation of the federal health-care law by saying he would not do away with the state's health-insurance exchange, the largest state-operated marketplace to emerge under the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Mr. Brown pounced on his opponent's remarks, and then added an attack on his Wall Street background.
"There are so many glib statements here that don't comport with reality that I don't know where to start," Mr. Brown said. "I feel like I am getting a sales pitch from—I don't know whom."
"You have learned your job well there, working at Goldman Sachs, with the rest of the people who wrecked the economy," the governor continued. "It is kind of like the arsonist putting out the fire. I really appreciate that."
Yet for a former Jesuit seminary student and Yale Law graduate fond of quoting dead philosophers, the governor seemed to struggle to hammer home his message that under his administration, California's economy has bounced back, and the state's fiscal situation has dramatically improved.
Mr. Brown has made paying down debt and saving a priority, despite a much more liberal legislature intent on restoring social services cuts made during the recession. Yet describing his last four years, Mr. Brown's standout comment was "we are making incremental progress," a line Mr. Kashkari seized on, saying that "the time for incrementalism is long since passed."
At the end, Mr. Brown hesitated on another debate, saying he thought the debate had "exposed the differences" between the candidates.
If it was the novice Mr. Kashkari's goal to present himself as a credible candidate for future runs, he did so by energetically holding his own against vastly more experienced governor, experts said.
"He showed himself to be a very prepared and articulate debater. I don't know what Neel Kashkari is going to run for next, but I don't think he hurt his cause," said Jessica A. Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles who focuses on government.
Mr. Kashkari also gave a full-throated defense of his time at the Treasury, and then cast himself as a populist who wants to rebuild the state's middle class. He talked about growing up as the son of immigrants from India.
"I have lived the American Dream because I got a good education," said Mr. Kashkari, who has his bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering from the University of Illinois.
The two candidates clashed perhaps the most strongly over their positions on a recent court ruling that declared the state's strong teacher-tenure laws unconstitutional. Mr. Brown last week appealed a California judge's decision invalidating the state's teacher-tenure laws. The ruling, in Vergara v. California, said the state's rules on tenure for teachers threatened "students' fundamental right to equality of education."
Mr. Kashkari assailed Mr. Brown's decision to appeal that ruling saying "the judge got it absolutely right."
"You had the choice between fighting for the civil rights of poor kids and fighting for the union bosses who funded your campaigns," Mr. Kashkari said. "You sided with the union bosses, you should be ashamed of yourself governor."
"No. That makes no sense at all," Mr. Brown responded, clearly frustrated with his opponent. "That is false."

Nail Me
If there was ever a time that I wanted to be nailed by a hot guy on the spot it was this moment while vacationing in Honolulu.
Having read, and looked at many, many model magazines while waiting at the grocery check out, I became familiar with a lot if not all of the hot men within the covers.
One morning after I got my Starbucks, and treat from the ABC store on the corner, I casually crossed the road and made my way towards the beach. A nice fresh breeze of ocean air and Plumeria was filling my nose and lungs. Feeling much like one should in paradise, I was in a trance.
Following along this narrow meandering path through a grove of Banjon trees, I look to my eyes from the trees and looked forward again to see where I was. It was then, that I saw right away one of the hottest men in my life.
Walking right towards. This man was built for sex and love. Tall, broad shoulders, nice mild tan, a fine well, toned muscular and hairy chest. The fine soft hair that feels like silk on your finders. Wear a tight shirt and very revealing running shorts as a flip flop going side to side showing off his manly hood. I was aghast to see this Adonis walking towards me. He then smiles, with a most perfect set of teeth and winks with a knowing look that I recognized him and his celebrity. From those deep blue eyes and the dimples, My legs went week, I dropped my coffee and walked right into a street lamp. As stupid as that looked I was not embarrassed for what happened next.
He came over to me and helped me up. Smiled again and asked if I was okay. Laying on my back with him over me was unreal. I wanted to be nailed by that man right then and there.
So, when he lifted me up off the ground with little effort he asked if I wanted another coffee, as he was headed to the Starbucks for one. I walked with him in a daze and he stopped for a second and told me that I was the cutest on the beach he had seen today.

Movie Suggestion: Dead Again
Television Show: Cougar Town Don't do me like that
Jules has been sticking to her 10-date rule with Josh, her boy toy boyfriend (sorry if that sounds redundant). The day of the 10th date has arrived and Jules must prep for the big event. You do know that by "big event" we mean sex, right? Josh is coming over at eight, which means Jules is on a "sexual deadline" as far as prep time. When Travis tells his mom he finished writing an essay, Jules instantly knows he didn't. The boy's voice changes whenever he's untruthful. Ellie says, "The high-pitched lie, (it's) every man's tell." Travis then heads off to his dad's new place, which happens to be a boat that sits on stilts in the middle of a parking lot. It's highly embarrassing for Travis though Bobby loves it. So does Andy, who stops by to visit just in time to catch Travis vent as to just how humiliating his dad can be. Yeah, it was pretty harsh for Bobby to hear. When Jules catches Grayson shuffling another young hottie into a cab, she warns her "paper buddy" that there's not an endless supply of hot, dumb girls in town. If he keeps acting like a selfish tool, he's gonna find himself living on "Planet No Love." This gets Grayson thinking and he lets the hottie stay for breakfast the next day. Big mistake. She drives him crazy before taking her first bite of cereal. We believe it was Cheerios.

When a rock melts, it doesn't all melt at the same temperature, and rarely melts completely.
The first stuff to melt becomes melt/magma/lava; the stuff that doesn't melt is left behind and is called restite.
There are certain elements that usually melt first when found in a solid solution series like olivine or plagioclase (Fe before Mg, Na before Ca) and early melt is enriched in them relative to starting composition.
Theoretical example
Clean example with Olivine
Ugly example with plagioclase. [This also explains the greasy luster: most compositions crystallize as a single mineral, then become immiscible as it cools, so the crystals separate into closely inter-layered plates of the two compositions, which is what grease does.]
Pressure might raise or lower the melting temperature, depending on some very ugly thermodynamics.
For water, increasing pressure lowers the melting/freezing temperature, which is how ice-skating works.
For most materials, including basalts, increasing pressure increases the melting temp (decreasing pressure decreases the melting temp), so once a basaltic melt starts ascending, it will not freeze unless it cools, gets trapped, or makes it to the surface. A basaltic melt that starts at point A in the diagram below is slightly above its melting temperature, but as it ascends (pressure decreases while holding temperature constant), it stays at the same temperature but its melting temperature goes down, so it's further above its melting temperature at B (the surface) than when it started. Since basalt is not a pure substance, it melts/freezes over a range of temperatures, indicated by the patterned area labeled "basalt slush".
For wet granites, increasing pressure decreases the melting temp. This means that you can melt a granite by compressing it (E to F) and freeze it by decompressing it (C to D). A granitic melt at C will freeze at D as it ascends. If some rock at E were to be buried deeper, compressing it (increase pressure while holding temperature constant) it will melt when it hits the extrapolated melting curve shown. If you have a granitic melt C and raise it (decrease pressure) D, it freezes. If you have granitic material near its melting temperature E and shove it downward F, it melts.
The pink-red area is for a granite with 6% water. The dotted line is an extrapolation/guess of the melting curve if there is unlimited water available, which gets the melting curve down towards quite plausible pressure-temperature conditions for a normal geothermal gradient in the lower part of the continental crust, which should be close to melting and so kind of plastic.
This is why compressional environments and thickening of crust are often associated with granitic melts, and extensional environments with basalts. This is also why granitic melts tend to crystallize at depth, while basaltic melts tend to make it to the surface with super-heat (heat above their melting temperature.

Senator Mark Kirk (R–Ill) announced on Tuesday that he's joining the increasingly long list of politicians who support gay marriage. His announcement comes one week after the Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8, and 15 months after the Senator suffered a stroke. As the Los Angeles Times reports:
"When I climbed the Capitol steps in January, I promised myself that I would return to the Senate with an open mind and greater respect for others," he said in a statement.
"Same-sex couples should have the right to civil marriage. Our time on this Earth is limited, I know that better than most. Life comes down to who you love and who loves you back — government has no place in the middle," Kirk said.
In the weeks before Kirk's announcement, several other prominent politicians came out in favor of gay marriage, including Hillary Clinton, Senator Rob Portman (R- Oh) and Senator Clair McCaskill (D-Mo).
Kirk has been in the news before for less progressive reasons, including once for attempting to send out "voter integrity" squads in 2010 and another time for "misidentifying" his military records. But all was forgiven after his State of the Union exploding fist bump with President Obama, which — apologies to Marco Rubio — was the highlight of that evening.

It's not so different than what I and others have alluded to in the Huddle, but it is a little more colorful, and thought provoking (i.e, it begs you to use your imagination). I found it mildly entertaining. I suggest reading the whole thing, but here are some excerpts: Completely disagree with their comment on old school ground and pound.

Click here to view an interview with Ron Nehring on a mobile device.
Click here to view an interview with Gavin Newsom on a mobile device.
As second fiddles to top government officials go, Gavin Newsom is no Joe Biden.
President Obama delegates important responsibilities to his colorfully candid veep. But California Gov. Jerry Brown's attitude toward Newsom, his lieutenant governor, seems to be:
"Are you still here?"
This was true from the start, perhaps because of how Newsom originally campaigned against Brown for governor. It was well before this year when he started bashing Brown's pet project, the high-speed rail plan that now is nothing like what voters approved -- but if there was any chance of warmer relations in a second term, Newsom might as well have kicked Sutter the dog down the capitol steps.
Newsom's opponent this fall, likable conservative Ron Nehring, wouldn't get any cozier with Brown. The former state Republican Party chair's bootstrap life story is inspiring, but his social conservatism puts him out of step with much of California. If the only power the lieutenant really has is the bully pulpit, we would rather see Newsom in it. We recommend him for a second term.
Brown isn't the only one irked by Newsom's frank ambition and occasional arrogance. But Newsom also is very smart and thoughtful. It's a shame to waste his energy. Accomplishments that might propel him in his next leap, probably for governor or U.S. senator, also could help California -- particularly in the area of economic development.
The lieutenant governor chairs the state's economic development commission, and Newsom has done his best with it despite Brown's leaving some slots vacant. He set out to write a blueprint for sustainability and, with the help of organizations such as the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, conducted business summits around the state to assess needs. Rather than seeking the spotlight at these events, Newsom mostly listened and learned. Participants were impressed.
His resulting report suggests different regional strategies for economic growth, since Silicon Valley is in an alternate economic universe from Redding or Los Angeles. Tim Draper's fantasy of chopping California into six states is loony, but recognizing different economies is just a fact.
Serving on the University of California and CSU boards, Newsom pushes our industrial-age model of higher education to adapt to today's economic realities. On K-12 schools, he's wrong on the Vergara decision -- he doesn't think tenure after 18 months or layoffs based solely on seniority are a problem. But to his credit, he's meeting with the lawsuit's backer, entrepreneur Dave Welch, about how to improve poor schools.
He says he also has reached out to Vinod Khosla and the surfers, hoping to directly negotiate access to Martins Beach. If he succeeds, send him to Gaza.
Newsom began the national culture shift on gay marriage as mayor of San Francisco 10 years ago. Look how far it's come. The man does have courage and vision. Not to mention the best wardrobe in Sacramento since Willie Brown left town. Re-elect him, and watch what happens next.

Get entity absolute transformation in nested hierarchyPosted Monday, 14 January, 2013 - 12:27 by Norris in
I have scene graph system with nodes that have "position" and "rotation" vectors. Each node can have one or more linked entities that have also "position" and "rotation" vectors.
All those vectors are RELATIVE position and rotation to the parent node. When drawing my hierarchy, I simply use the OpenGL matrix stack and add transformations to the current ModelView matrix.
But I want to improve my system so that a camera can be a linked entity. So, it can be nested deeply in the nodes hierarchy.
The problem is I need the ABSOLUTE transformation of my camera to be able to "move" my world before drawing the scene ... and I only store RELATIVE transformation.
I know that to get the absolute transformation, I must start from my nested entity, add transformations and go back to the root. Then I must invert the result matrix. But I'm not really sure of how to implement it.
This is my first attempt:
In my Entity class:
Public Function GetAbsoluteTransformation() As Matrix4 'Create an matrix to accumulate transformations Dim accuMat As Matrix4 = New Matrix4 accuMat = Matrix4.Identity 'normal order (drawing) is translate and rotate X,Y and Z. Do I need to do the the inverse ? Dim rotMatX As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateRotationX(-DegreesToRadians(_RotX)) Dim rotMatY As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateRotationY(-DegreesToRadians(_RotY)) Dim rotMatZ As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateRotationZ(-DegreesToRadians(_RotZ)) Dim transMat As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateTranslation(Position) Dim tmpMat As Matrix4 = rotMatZ * rotMatY * rotMatX * transMat Matrix4.Mult(accuMat, tmpMat, accuMat) GetAbsTransRecurs(ParentLinkedNode, accuMat) accuMat.Invert() Return accuMat End Function Public Sub GetAbsTransRecurs(ByVal parentNode As SceneNode, ByRef accuMat As Matrix4) If parentNode IsNot Nothing Then Dim rotMatZ_p As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateRotationZ(-DegreesToRadians(parentNode.Rotation.Z)) Dim rotMatY_p As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateRotationY(-DegreesToRadians(parentNode.Rotation.Y)) Dim rotMatX_p As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateRotationX(-DegreesToRadians(parentNode.Rotation.X)) Dim transMat_p As Matrix4 = Matrix4.CreateTranslation(parentNode.Position) Dim tmpMat_p As Matrix4 = rotMatZ_p * rotMatY_p * rotMatX_p * transMat_p Matrix4.Mult(accuMat, tmpMat_p, accuMat) If parentNode.ParentNode IsNot Nothing Then GetAbsTransRecurs(parentNode.ParentNode, accuMat) End If End If End Sub
Are my maths good (I'm really bad at maths) ?
I just start to test this, and it seems that I must invert rotations angles. strange results but I think I'm on the right way.

Harlem, Ga--What Harlem did this past Friday night, beat Cross Breek for their first win of the year. Led by Seth Hill and Zach Morris, the Bulldogs put 20 points on the board in the fourth quarter and helped earn this duo our Operation Football Live players of the week.
For sure it hasn't been a banner year for Harlem, but you never know what the next few weeks can bring. They proved that Friday night. Running out of the option Hill and Morris stepped up and got the job done. They combined for 270 yards rushing and all four scores. Morris, playing the role of quarterback, Hill, playing the roll of running back
"I know that if we were going to win that me and Zach (Morris) would have to have a good performance" said Seth Hill
"We ran out of the wishbone and Seth (Hill) just kept running" said coach Jimmy Lewis "He touched it 29 times but he didn't get tired, he just kept going hard. Then when we opened it up in our option Zach was able to get lose and he just turned it on."

Bendis is the Writer of Marvel MMO, More Details Revealed
by Albert Ching, Newsarama Staff Writer
Date: 28 April 2011 Time: 09:51 PM ET
Bendis is the Writer of Marvel MMO
Following a press conference held Thursday evening in San Francisco, a lot more is known concerning the upcoming Marvel massively multiplayer online role-playing game, with the biggest piece of news the naming of Brian Michael Bendis as writer."The reason I was so desperate to be a part of this is that I'm a big believer that the Marvel Universe is more than a fictional universe of characters, it's kind of a lifestyle for a lot of people," Bendis said. In contrast to the DC Universe Online MMO released earlier this year, the Marvel MMO — which currently has no release date — will be free to play. Also, users will play as established Marvel characters, rather than player-created heroes and villains.

South Africa's Shuttleworth Sticks With His Free Ubuntu Software
South African internet billionaire Mark Shuttleworth has enough cash to pump into his software company, Canonical, saying he is being careful with his pennies but is willing to continue supporting a good investment.
Shuttleworth founded Canonical in 2004 to develop free software for companies and private users around the world. He committed an initial $10m, despite admitting he was not sure whether giving away its software could ever be commercially viable.
This week, Shuttleworth held a press conference confirming that Canonical was still not profitable, but making it clear that he was happy to keep supporting it as a philanthropic venture. His private resources come from the $575m that he earned in 1999 by selling Thawte, the Cape-based digital security company he founded.
Canonical develops the Ubuntu operating system using open-source technology, allowing anyone to modify it or translate it into different languages. That makes it particularly appealing to emerging nations which find the licence fees for big-brand software packages prohibitive.
Reporting on the conference, the online news site The Register quoted Shuttleworth as saying: "We continue to require investment. I can continue to be careful with my pennies as I make what I consider to be a good investment."
Canonical has more than 200 employees in Europe, the US and Taiwan but has not yet recorded a positive cash flow even though about 8-million people use its software.
Asked for an accurate figure on how many people use it, Shuttleworth replied: "We actually have no idea."
Research house IDC ran a survey last year showing that 20% of large US companies had Ubuntu installed, and IDC estimates that Ubuntu holds a 3% share of the market for server operating systems.
Canonical turns over "several million dollars" a year from selling support and related services for Ubuntu, but Shuttleworth said he had no objection to funding it for the next three to five years. The company could become cash-positive in two years, but it would probably take longer as more investment was needed to make Ubuntu more pervasive.
Asked whether anyone could make money from supplying free software, Shuttleworth said they could not, "and that is a good thing". The company gives away the software and makes money from technical support.

An Iranian lawmaker says the West is behind terrorist attacks against Shia Muslims, addressing a recent deadly bombing attack in southwestern Pakistan.
Javad Heravi made the remarks in an interview with ICANA, Majlis (the Iranian Parliament)'s official news agency, on Sunday.
He noted that, "Terrorist attacks and heinous crimes against Shias are planned by the West" as Shia principles are against those of the West.
He also stated that the hatred against Shias has grown among atheist groups and Wahabis, and that such actions are all preplanned.
Earlier on Sunday, an attack in southwestern Pakistan on Shia pilgrims, who were on their way to Iran, claimed the lives of at least 19 people.
The attack took place after a bomb ripped through a convoy of three buses carrying Shia pilgrims in the Mastung district, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) south of Quetta in the Balochistan province.
Reports say a number of women and children are among the dead.
A senior government official in Quetta, the capital of the Baluchistan province, said the buses were carrying some 180 Shia pilgrims.
Attacks against Shia Muslims in different parts of Pakistan have escalated in recent months. Since the beginning of 2012, hundreds of Shias have been killed in the country.
Last month, many Shia Muslims were killed in several attacks targeting processions held to commemorate the martyrdom of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (PBUH).
Pakistani Shia leaders have called on the government to form a judicial commission to investigate the bloodshed.
According to Human Rights Watch, the Pakistani government has failed to stop violence against Shias, who account for around 20 percent of the country's 167-million-strong population.
Pro-Taliban militants have been involved in a violent campaign against Shia Muslims in Pakistan over the past years.

"Like those close games we had, little things are what kept us from winning those games," says senior lineman Corey Camppbell. "So I think if we get the little things right, the games and the wins and the big plays will come."
When a team has a bad year, the goal for the next season is to just improve. Well for the Hephzibah Rebels, going from one win in 2006 to 4 wins in 2007 was definitely a step in the right direction.
Now the Rebels are hoping to build on that 4-win season by doing something that hasn't been done since 2003: end the year with a winning record. So far, things are looking up and coaches and players agree that there is a change in attitude this season that wasn't there in the past.
"I feel that we are more intertwined as a team and I feel that we work better together as a unit than I have seen in the past," says Campbell.
"Just the focus and the desire to work is even better than it was last year and they kind of know what we expect as coaches so things seem to be running smoothly," says head coach John Bowen.
The team did lose Tomarez Jenkins and a bunch of seniors up front, making their line of the weak spots for the team. But the Rebels return quarterback Connell Jenkins and other playmakers that will help them make some noise offensively. On the defensive side of the ball, things don't look too shabby either.
"We have our leading two interceptors back and for the most part, have all our leading tacklers back and just got to develop a few defensive linemen that we lost," says Bowen. "But we feel like we have good experience back."
The Rebels also sport a new home field this season and will play in a new region. The team will be playing more Augusta area schools meaning when the team is on the road, they'll still feel like they're close to home.

Summer Function
The Summer Fancy Food Show returned to New York City last month after two consecutive years in the nation's capital (thanks to some now-complete renovations at New York's Jacob Javits Center) and the brief time away seems to have agreed with the show. The multi-level event was pulsating with wall-to-wall activity and, as host organization the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) reports, the 2013 edition broke previous records in exhibit space and attendance. The show drew 24,100 retail and restaurant buyers and 1,500 exhibitors covering 354,00 square feet of exhibit space. Only a fraction of that was beverage, of course, but among those liquid products on display there was no shortage of innovation—including some brands that had just launched that month. Most of those fell into the health and functional segments, but there was plenty of room for indulgence as well. Here are eight themes that emerged among the drinkable offerings.
As the name suggests, oats work in a beverage.
While soluble-fiber-based drinks are becoming a segment unto themselves, it's only recently that companies have started deriving that fiber from oats.
"We sort of saw this resurgence in the popularity of oatmeal—Starbucks introduced it a few years back and it's been their biggest-selling non-beverage item," says David Peters, CEO of Oatworks (pictured, left), which offers a line of oat-based drinks available in Strawberry Banana, Peach Mango and Pomegranate Blueberry flavors. After nearly two years of development, Oatworks products finally launched in June.
"A lot of people know about the benefits of oats, but they don't necessarily like the taste of it; they don't like the texture," Peters notes. "They think it's going to be lumpy and not so good."
Consumers might be surprised to find that Oatworks is completely lump-free, with more of a bottled smoothie-type consistency. "
Each 12-ounce PET bottle contains the benefits of two bowls of oatmeal, Peters reveals.
"It'll help lower cholesterol; it will give you that feeling of satiety you get when you're eating oatmeal and it also keeps you energized and sustained longer because the energy is released in a sustained fashion."
Tart cherries are quite versatile.
In addition to Cheribundi's line of functional juices based on the tart cherry—original Cherry Juice, reduced-calorie Cherry Juice Light, whey protein enhanced Cherry Rebuild, electrolyte replenishing Cherry Restore and melatonin and L-Theanine-infused Cherry Relax—the brand has launched the Fruit Refresh and Tea Refresh Lines. The Fruit Refresh line blends the tart cherry with fruits like blueberry, lemonade, raspberry, pomegranate and cranberry, while the Tea Refresh blends the base fruit with black, grean, jasmine and rooibos teas.
"Most people drink [Cheribundi] because it's beneficial," says Cheribundi's public relations and social networking manager Garian Vigil. "It's beneficial for people with arthritis and gout and athletes drink it because it's a natural anti-inflammatory."
The battle against aging rages on.
Among the many products showcased by importer Brands Within Reach (BWR), was its own in-house brand, Yoüthy, which, as its name suggests, contains ingredients with purported anti-aging benefits. The prickly pear juice has a strong concentration of grape seed extract and resveratrol.
Studies have linked grape seed extract to various cardiovascular benefits. Others have pointed to anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic benefits of resveratrol.
"Each bottle has 90 milligrams of grape seed extract and resveratrol, which is the equivalent resveratrol content of 60 glasses of wine," says BWR founder Olivier Sannois.
The beer category doesn't have a complete monopoly on the term "microbrewery."
Ready-to-drink tea brand Dr. B's is actually following the market trajectory of craft breweries.
"I love micro-brewed beers and if I go into a store or bar, I'll go in that direction before I go to a Budweiser or a Miller," says company founder Kenneth Banks, the company's namesake "Dr. B," a dentist. "I wanted to take that same concept of micro-brewed beer into the tea world, as I also love tea."
He chose rooibos as the tea base because it's naturally caffeine free. And, he wanted a sweetened beverage, but, given his line of work, that presented a bit of a challenge.
He found his solution in birchwood xylitol, a zero-calorie sweetener derived from birchwood trees in Maine. It's known for its supposed dental health properties. The company does all of its production and packing in-house; it doesn't use co-packers. Dr. B's is largely self-distributed in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The world doesn't need another business book—unless it's a comic book!
Honest Tea co-founder and TeaEO Seth Goldman used the opportunity to promote "Mission in a Bottle: The Honest Guide to Doing Business Differently—and Succeeding," which he co-authored with co-founder Barry Nalebuff. But what sets it apart from the tens of thousands of other business and entrepreneurship books on the market is that it was written and illustrated in graphic novel format.
"I've read so many green business books and they all get kind of preachy and repetitive and frankly they aren't that interesting," says Goldman. "You've got to find a way to make the story inspiring and engaging, so [we thought] let's try to make a green business story into a comic book."
Nalebuff, Goldman notes, was open to the idea.
"He's an economics professor and he's seen his share and the world doesn't need another business book."
The two enlisted illustrator Sungyoon Choi to do the artwork. The book goes on sale Sept. 3.
It's actually okay for kombucha to have a little bit of alcohol in it again.
Speaking of Barry Nalebuff, he's a partner in a new venture called Kombrewcha, a kombucha drink that gets back to its roots and retains its 2 percent alcohol content.
Lindsay Lohan's shenanigans a few years back put an unfair media spotlight on kombucha and many brands removed the trace amounts of alcohol. "A lot of the companies reformulated the kombucha to take out the alcohol, so it's a bit more sour, and some of them pasteurize it so you don't get the probiotic content," explains CEO Ariel Glazer.
"We're just bringing back the kombucha people know and love. It has 2 percent alcohol and actually half the calories of light beer."
And because of that content, Kombrewcha is going to retail through a network of beer distributors. In addition to the usual natural channels, it's also being sold in bars and hotels and is available both bottled and on draught.
Hot chocolate can be shelf stable and doesn't even need to be hot.
New York-based The City Bakery has made its famous hot chocolate available in ready-to-drink form. "The concept is to take it outside New York and sell it all over the country," says Maury Rubin, chef and CEO of The City Bakery. "It can be enjoyed hot or cold. The idea is you pour it out of the package, microwave it or stove top it and you've got hot chocolate.
Keep it in the package and put it in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes and what you've got is a luxurious chocolate milk." Packed in shelf-stable Tetra Pak containers, The City Baker Hot Chocolate is available in dark and milk varieties.
Marketing vitamin content doesn't have to be boring.
Activate Drinks saw last month's show—as well the Food Fete, a new product showcase that ran on the evening of the second day of the Fancy Food Show—as the perfect forum at which it could get on its soapbox about an underreported societal scourage: vitamin cruelty. In all seriousness, "Stop Vitamin Cruelty" is the theme of its newest PSA-inspired ad campaign and the company, known for its fresh twist cap technology, unveiled a 30-second digital spot humorously exposing vitamin characters slowly deteriorating in water—complete with very sad piano accompaniment. A title card reads "Vitamin A, B5, B12 & C deteriorate sitting in water," followed by another that reads, "Keep vitamins fresh in the cap. We do." The spot gets decidedly more upbeat as the funereal piano morphs into rousing club music with dancing vitamins.

Early German Tanged Chisel 7/8" Wide Rare!
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $25.00
- Quantity Available: 1
As you may have noticed looking through our web site, we do offer many rare names in chisels. This is one of the rarest, marked on this chisel as best I can read the very small stamped mark "Ernest Crucible Jordan Germany Cast Metal". The handle may not be original, I just don't know because I've not seen another like this one. It is 7/8" x 10 5/8" long. It is sharp and has a bit of pitting here and there, but look good with no pitting around the cutting edge. The handle has one scrape and a few dings and scrathes, but is very solid with a large steel binding. The steel measures 5 1/4" from the cutting edge to the handle. Where can you find another?

text: Stock prices are not only susceptible to external factors like market movement, but also internal ones like a company's financial health (revenue, cost and profits). Another factor which, at first glance, may not seem to have any effect on the share price movement is 'contingent liability'. This is the amount that a company may need to shell out in the future and its loss potential is measured in terms of the probability of those events coming to pass. Such liabilities include pending lawsuits (litigation filed against the company pending with authorities such as the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, consumer dispute forums or civil courts), income tax or sales tax disputes, or patent infringements.

(WEAU) La Crosse - We have new information about the dorm fire at UW-La Crosse. Investigators now say it could be arson, and are interviewing hundreds of people.
"The La Crosse Fire Department and UW-L Police Department have eliminated any electrical or mechanical possibilities as a cause to that fire. The result of that is leading us to possible human involvement," said Lead Investigator Craig Snyder.
The UW-L Police Department has already interviewed more than 200 people, mostly students, as to the cause of the fire.
"We believe that someone has knowledge that can help us. Someone in the immediate area or one or more persons was in the actual room when there was a significant event," said Scott Rohde, Chief of UW-L Campus Police.
There will be criminal prosecution if it is found out who started the fire, and expulsion is a possibility.
An anonymous tip line has been opened for anyone who has information on how or why the fire started. The number to call is 785-5000, and a reward of up to 2,000 will be given to anyone who has credible information.
All 271 students have been moved out, and have found places to live for the rest of the semester.
Mackenzie Kuhn's bedroom window is now boarded up. She moved to Angel Hall just next door with her roommate.
"It was an extremely relieving feeling just because we had so many crazy things happen in the last two weeks. It's nice to know we are going to have some consistency," said Kuhn.
She will be getting money back for the time she spent without a home.
"I will be reimbursed I'm assuming for the two weeks that we weren't able to spend in regular housing. I think we're getting a little over 200 dollars back," said Kuhn.
But not just Drake Students will be getting money. Students that are housing three to a room will also be seeing a reward.
"I am getting reimbursed 300 dollars on my housing, or my tuition, for putting up someone from Drake out of the kindness of my heart. They thought they would do something nice for us," said Erin Withey, a UW-La Crosse student.
Again, if you have any information as to how, or why the fire was started, an anonymous tip line has been opened. The number to call is 785-5000, and a reward of up to 2,000 will be given to anyone who has credible information.

A number of Alaskans may have expected their health insurance plans to expire at the end of the year, but due to issues with Obamacare, other options will be available.
Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield says nearly 5,400 people will receive letters notifying of their options.
"If they want to extend [coverage] they don't have to do anything," said Melanie Coon, spokesperson with Premera Blue Cross.
According to Coon, people who have not already canceled their plan will automatically be enrolled for next year. If someone has canceled or even applied for a different insurance plan through a different company, then they can still opt out and rejoin with Premera.
This is possible following an apology by President Obama, following news that policies were being canceled despite his assurance that they would not be. Now, policies that do not meet the Affordable Care Act regulations will be allowed for one more year.
Premera Blue Cross says policy holders will not see a rate increase unless they changed age bracket.
"They're used to that, that's nothing new; their rates will stay the same through 2014 if they extend on their old plan," said Coon.
The State of Alaska Division of Insurance has to sign off on any insurance policies offered to Alaskans and is working with Premera and other companies to ensure everything follows the law.
"We're working with them to expedite that process so that the filing can get approved and that they will have plans available," said Bret Kolb, Director with Division of Insurance.
Premera plans to send out letters to its customers the first week of December.

Science advice, democratic responsiveness and public policy.
Science and Public Policy
, 28
pp. 413-421.
Novel biotechnologies pose serious problems of how to combine scientific expertise and public involvement in the setting of standards of control. Identifying the problem of distinguishing the role of expertise from that of public involvement, this paper reviews current methods of promoting the public discussion of science. It identifies a particular problem in the articulation of ethical concerns that are especially relevant to various forms of biotechnology. These concerns are not amenable to consensus solutions, and the capacity to reflect on how to deal with these issues is reduced in the European Union. The conclusion is that public involvement should be seen to complement both scientific advice and systems of political representation.
