The sounds of celebrating Veterans Day in the Mid-Ohio Valley this week ranged from hundreds of children's voices singing patriotic songs to silence as a gymnasium full of high school students considered words and images depicting the sacrifices of soldiers.
With Veterans Day falling on a Sunday this year and some schools off to observe the holiday on Monday, students took time in different ways and on different days to learn about and honor those who have served America.
Some veterans attended multiple ceremonies Thursday and Friday, like Regis Kern, commander of American Legion Post 64 in Marietta and who earned two Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars serving in the Army in Vietnam. Kern said such programs not only benefit children by educating them about military service but also the veterans by allowing them to share their stories and see appreciation for that service.

Navy veterans Jim Dukas, left, and Robert Miller, both of Belpre, stand as Little Hocking Elementary students sing "Anchors Aweigh" during a Veterans Day program in the school's gym Thursday.
"I think it's important that you share the stories," said Kern who spoke at events at Little Hocking Elementary and Williamstown High School. "When I got out of the Army, they said you shouldn't talk about things. ... And now that's changing. It's just good therapy."
Area schools held events Thursday and Friday or scheduled them for next week. Here are highlights from a few of them:
*Belpre High School*
Although there were hundreds of students in the bleachers, plus about 30 veterans and several other guests in chairs on the basketball court, Belpre's gym was strikingly quiet Friday afternoon.
The silence first descended as the group watched a video presentation put together by junior Mariah Inghram that featured patriotic music and images showing soldiers in combat, helping children in foreign countries, looking physically and emotionally exhausted after battle, coming home to embrace their families and coming home in flag-draped caskets.
"I felt like this was my way to honor them," Inghram said. "I really wanted to show the good and the bad."
Quiet continued as West Virginia Army National Guard Sgt. Nathan Greene, who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Djibouti and whose wife works at the school, took the microphone and suggested students Google the term "national debt" as he'd done recently. He looked through 56 pages of results and didn't find what he was seeking.
"Every single one of the pages dealt with government over-spending for one country or another," he said. "Not one brought up our biggest national debt of all, and that is the national debt owed to our veterans."
While Greene said he didn't begrudge anyone's success, he questioned the values of a culture that elevates achievers in the athletic, musical and financial realms over the soldiers who fight and die to protect the nation.
"Can anyone other than Christ alone say they have carried a heavier burden than a soldier?" Greene said. "No accomplishment done in the safety and security of our borders can match what our men and women in uniform have accomplished over the years."
*Harmar Elementary*
More than two dozen veterans related to students and staff attended Harmar Elementary's annual celebration Friday morning, in which the choir performed patriotic music and red, white and blue balloons were released around 11 a.m. in honor of the armistice that ended World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
The highlight of the event is when the veterans stand around the gym with their loved ones and introduce themselves.
Title I reading teacher Anne Burnworth couldn't help but laugh when her son, Ohio Air National Guard Tech Sgt. Brandon Burnworth, introduced himself as "Mrs. Burnworth's baby boy."
"I think it's an exciting and amazing tribute to people who served, and I'm proud to be a part of it," he said afterward.
Brandon Burnworth served one tour in Iraq and two in Afghanistan and even went to the South Pole two years ago to use his skills as a C-130 mechanic to support the National Science Foundation's Antarctica mission. His mother said she is grateful to have him back in the states.
"Families serve as well because when they're out of the country in harm's way, every day you're thinking about them," she said.
Williamstown Elementary second-graders continued a more-than-20-year-old tradition Thursday evening with an assembly for veterans.
"It was the culmination of having guest speakers and lessons on being patriotic and how we live in a free country," said second-grade teacher Diane Hickey.
Among those speakers was the grandfather of one of Hickey's students, Riley Oblisk, who described his service in the Navy.
"It was great," Oblisk said. "He called me up to hold his book and hold his poster."
During Thursday's event, students donned sparkling red, white and blue hats and sang patriotic tunes. Second-grader Dylan Baumgard agreed it was a fun evening, but said he saw several people in the audience "really emotional" when the children sang "God Bless the USA."
"I even saw, I think, my Papaw's eyes were watering because he was in the Air Force," he said.
One of the things a speaker shared that struck Baumgard most was that military service is "not about being in the war, it's about trying to help people and protect them."
*Little Hocking*
More than 40 area veterans joined kindergarten through eighth-graders in Little Hocking Elementary School's gymnasium Thursday for a Veterans Day program before spending the rest of the day in classrooms sharing their experiences with students.
The school has held the celebration for 12 years, but it was the first time Cutler resident and Army veteran Donnie McKnight, 28, had attended. His family recently moved into the district and his children now attend Little Hocking.
"I lost a lot of friends" in the military, he said. "It just makes you so grateful that you get to come back and ... watch your kids grow up when so many guys didn't get that opportunity."
The veterans gathered for a breakfast prior to the morning ceremony, with 80-year-old Belpre resident Harold Riley joking with two younger veterans at his table that they had to join the Army because they "couldn't get into the Marines."
After the ceremony in the school gym, Riley said he appreciated the event's theme of "Welcome Home." When he returned from Vietnam, he said he landed in California and was told to take a bus to the airport then fly home.
"That was our welcome," he said.
Little Hocking students lined the hallway as their veteran guests walked from the breakfast to the gym. The children held signs expressing appreciation, and some shook hands with the veterans as they passed.
"I think it's a special time for the veterans," said fifth-grader Kirom Howell.
"I think it's really cool that they come to our school," added classmate Lacey Atherton.
*Fort Frye High School*
Fort Frye history teacher Bobbi Webb wanted to try a different approach to observing Veterans Day this year. Instead of an assembly, seventh- through 12th-graders in history classes at the school are writing letters of thanks to more than 200 veterans in the Beverly, Waterford and Lowell areas.
Webb said it was important to her that local veterans be involved, so the students would know exactly who they were honoring.
"They really enjoyed it," she said of the students. "A lot of them were able to write their relatives - their uncles and grandpas."
The students are sending letters and care packages to members of a U.S. Marine Corps unit based in Columbus and currently serving in Iraq.

1. Take a wire in the color that matches your card/layout, the thinner, the better to handle.
2. Don´t cut it right away, wait until you´ve finished the cross.
3. You´ll need two of your fingers for this, take the end of the wire and bend it over your finger so the end is now between your fingers.
4. Put the wire around your fingers like you´re making the number 8. Do that few times, or until you think your cross is thick enough.
5. Now take the "8" of your finger and make another one, now a bit smaller, let the bigger "8" hang there in the meanwhile (it may be a little uncomfortable, but that´s how I do it, maybe you got better ideas there..)
6. Now you have two "8"s, one small and one bigger. Lay them together, don´t twist them!
7. Now you measure few inches of wire, cut it and bind the two "8"s together cris-cross. It should hold the cross pretty tight.
8. This one is really up to you, now you got your cross ready, only thing left to do is putting it to your card/layout. For that I take a needle and do two very tiny holes in the paper where I want my cross to be. Next I take some extra wire and bind the cross to the paper, now you turn the page around and twist the wire.
Maybe you´ll like to use glue or glue-dots, I tried to use glue but it didn´t work.
For more information on this please take a look at my gallery and you see some samples, I have only used a silver wire, but now I have bought some new and fun colors.
Enjoy your wire cross and I hope those instruction were clear enough (I´m Icelandic)

2005 Federal Sentencing Guidelines
Chapter 2 - PART B - BASIC ECONOMIC OFFENSES
§2B5.3. Criminal Infringement of Copyright or Trademark
(a) Base Offense Level: 8
(b) Specific Offense Characteristics
(1) If the infringement amount (A) exceeded $2,000 but did not exceed $5,000, increase by 1 level; or (B) exceeded $5,000, increase by the number of levels from the table in §2B1.1 (Theft, Property Destruction, and Fraud) corresponding to that amount.
(2) If the offense involved the display, performance, publication, reproduction, or distribution of a work being prepared for commercial distribution, increase by 2 levels.
(3) If the offense involved the manufacture, importation, or uploading of infringing items, increase by 2 levels. If the resulting offense level is less than level 12, increase to level 12.
(4) If the offense was not committed for commercial advantage or private financial gain, decrease by 2 levels, but the resulting offense level shall be not less than level 8.
(5) If the offense involved (A) the conscious or reckless risk of serious bodily injury; or (B) possession of a dangerous weapon (including a firearm) in connection with the offense, increase by 2 levels. If the resulting offense level is less than level 13, increase to level 13.
Statutory Provisions: 17 U.S.C. § 506(a); 18 U.S.C. §§ 2318-2320, 2511. For additional statutory provision(s), see Appendix A (Statutory Index).
Application Notes:
1. Definitions.—For purposes of this guideline:
"Commercial advantage or private financial gain" means the receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including other protected works.
"Infringed item" means the copyrighted or trademarked item with respect to which the crime against intellectual property was committed.
"Infringing item" means the item that violates the copyright or trademark laws.
"Uploading" means making an infringing item available on the Internet or a similar electronic bulletin board with the intent to enable other persons to (A) download or otherwise copy the infringing item; or (B) have access to the infringing item, including by storing the infringing item in an openly shared file. "Uploading" does not include merely downloading or installing an infringing item on a hard drive on a defendant's personal computer unless the infringing item is placed in an openly shared file.
"Work being prepared for commercial distribution" has the meaning given that term in 17 U.S.C. § 506(a)(3).
2. Determination of Infringement Amount.—This note applies to the determination of the infringement amount for purposes of subsection (b)(1).
(A) Use of Retail Value of Infringed Item.—The infringement amount is the retail value of the infringed item, multiplied by the number of infringing items, in a case involving any of the following:
(i) The infringing item (I) is, or appears to a reasonably informed purchaser to be, identical or substantially equivalent to the infringed item; or (II) is a digital or electronic reproduction of the infringed item.
(ii) The retail price of the infringing item is not less than 75% of the retail price of the infringed item.
(iii) The retail value of the infringing item is difficult or impossible to determine without unduly complicating or prolonging the sentencing proceeding.
(iv) The offense involves the illegal interception of a satellite cable transmission in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2511. (In a case involving such an offense, the "retail value of the infringed item" is the price the user of the transmission would have paid to lawfully receive that transmission, and the "infringed item" is the satellite transmission rather than the intercepting device.)
(v) The retail value of the infringed item provides a more accurate assessment of the pecuniary harm to the copyright or trademark owner than does the retail value of the infringing item.
(vi) The offense involves the display, performance, publication, reproduction, or distribution of a work being prepared for commercial distribution. In a case involving such an offense, the "retail value of the infringed item" is the value of that item upon its initial commercial distribution.
(B) Use of Retail Value of Infringing Item.—The infringement amount is the retail value of the infringing item, multiplied by the number of infringing items, in any case not covered by subdivision (A) of this Application Note, including a case involving the unlawful recording of a musical performance in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2319A.
(C) Retail Value Defined.—For purposes of this Application Note, the "retail value" of an infringed item or an infringing item is the retail price of that item in the market in which it is sold.
(D) Determination of Infringement Amount in Cases Involving a Variety of Infringing Items.—In a case involving a variety of infringing items, the infringement amount is the sum of all calculations made for those items under subdivisions (A) and (B) of this Application Note. For example, if the defendant sold both counterfeit videotapes that are identical in quality to the infringed videotapes and obviously inferior counterfeit handbags, the infringement amount, for purposes of subsection (b)(1), is the sum of the infringement amount calculated with respect to the counterfeit videotapes under subdivision (A)(i) (i.e., the quantity of the infringing videotapes multiplied by the retail value of the infringed videotapes) and the infringement amount calculated with respect to the counterfeit handbags under subdivision (B) (i.e., the quantity of the infringing handbags multiplied by the retail value of the infringing handbags).
(E) Indeterminate Number of Infringing Items.—In a case in which the court cannot determine the number of infringing items, the court need only make a reasonable estimate of the infringement amount using any relevant information, including financial records.
3. Application of §3B1.3.—If the defendant de-encrypted or otherwise circumvented a technological security measure to gain initial access to an infringed item, an adjustment under §3B1.3 (Abuse of Position of Trust or Use of Special Skill) shall apply.
4. Upward Departure Considerations.—If the offense level determined under this guideline substantially understates the seriousness of the offense, an upward departure may be warranted. The following is a non-exhaustive list of factors that the court may consider in determining whether an upward departure may be warranted:
(A) The offense involved substantial harm to the reputation of the copyright or trademark owner.
(B) The offense was committed in connection with, or in furtherance of, the criminal activities of a national, or international, organized criminal enterprise.

These charger seem to be a good value for the cost. Unfortunately I bought them based on the picture thinking that this would be a worn/vintage looking silver with variations in color and texture over the surface. These chargers are a SOLID SILVER COLOR with NO VARIATIONS or DISTRESSING. Not the look I was going for, so they had to be returned.

Animal Defenders International: Speech, Spending and a Change of Direction in Strasbourg
Jacob H. Rowbottom
University of Oxford - Faculty of Law
May 20, 2013
Journal of Media Law (2013)
Oxford Legal Studies Research Paper No. 64/2013
This paper looks at the decision of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in Animal Defenders International, in which the Court found the UK's ban on political advertising on the broadcast media not to violate freedom of expression. In addition to examining the Court's reasoning, the paper considers the previous decisions on political advertising, compares the ECtHR's approach to that taken by the US Supreme Court in Citizens United, and outlines the main differences in the dissenting opinions. The final paper will appear in the Journal of Media Law.

Get an alert when new Umphrey's McGee dates are announced
Umphrey's McGee have built a rabid fanbase through endless touring, putting them on the road 120+ nights a year. Their constantly evolving sound channels a wide spectrum of influences while still preserving their distinct voice through crafty songwriting.

Rowing park seeks corporate sponsors
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - Although $30 million in local and state taxes have gone toward the ongoing construction of the rowing regatta facility at Nathan Benderson Park, the management of the county-owned sports venue expects it to become self-supporting once it is fully operational.
Also on Tuesday, the Sarasota County Commission heard about or discussed the following topics:
Garofolo says 'fight'
Former North Port City Commissioner David Garofolo urged county commissioners to stick with their commitment to preserve Warm Mineral Springs while also making it a catalyst for economic development, even though the North Port City Commission wants to sell its half-interest in the property.
"It is very important that we move forward," Garofolo said. "...I don't want you to give up the fight."
A blooming interchange
The county will seek the Florida Department of Transportation's consent to plant thousands of wildflowers in the state's right of way at the interchange at Interstate 75 and Fruitville Road.
The beautification project could cost about $23,000.
Making roads 'regional'
The commission wants North Cattlemen Road, Iona Road and Lakewood Ranch Boulevard classified as "regional" roads in order for upgrades to the thoroughfares to better qualify for state funding.
To achieve that goal, Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates intends to seek corporate sponsors and local donors for the park at University Parkway and Interstate 75, which is intended to become a major tourist attraction with a global reputation.
SANCA is vying for the park to become the host site for the 2017 World Rowing Championships.
SANCA president Paul Blackketter told the County Commission on Tuesday that the organization will soon present the county with its business plan.
So far, SANCA is encountering "a lot of interest in donors and fundraising" and expects the aquatics center to be a "self-sustaining venue," Blackketter said. "...The partnership is getting bigger, stronger."
Given that outlook, Blackketter asked the commissioners to set aside SANCA's request that the county purchase eight aluminum vessels for referees, six inflatable vessels for safety personnel and two aluminum work boats for maintenance crews.
The costs could be between $140,000 and $372,000, depending on what type of boats are acquired.
For past regattas, the park borrowed boats from Manatee County, a rowing club and several individuals. Retrieving and returning the boats takes about 18 to 27 hours.
SANCA wants the park to acquire its own boats before the Masters Rowing Championships in August but hopes to spare county taxpayers the expense.
"We have a lot of interested donors for these crafts," Blackketter said.
County Commissioner Nora Patterson urged the park management to not only seek corporate sponsors but contributions from "a lot of local parents out there," whose children are on area rowing teams.
Patterson suggested the creation of a fundraising foundation for the park, similar to a foundation recently created to support the county's libraries.

Unknown mathematician hits a home run May 20 2013
Yitang Zhang, an unknown mathematician who worked at Subway while trying to find an academic position earlier in his career, has written a paper that makes significant progress towards understanding the twin prime conjecture, "one of mathematics' oldest problems".
Editors of prominent mathematics journals are used to fielding grandiose claims from obscure authors, but this paper was different. Written with crystalline clarity and a total command of the topic's current state of the art, it was evidently a serious piece of work, and the Annals editors decided to put it on the fast track.
Just three weeks later -- a blink of an eye compared to the usual pace of mathematics journals -- Zhang received the referee report on his paper.
"The main results are of the first rank," one of the referees wrote. The author had proved "a landmark theorem in the distribution of prime numbers."
Rumors swept through the mathematics community that a great advance had been made by a researcher no one seemed to know -- someone whose talents had been so overlooked after he earned his doctorate in 1992 that he had found it difficult to get an academic job, working for several years as an accountant and even in a Subway sandwich shop.
"Basically, no one knows him," said Andrew Granville, a number theorist at the Universite de Montreal. "Now, suddenly, he has proved one of the great results in the history of number theory."
Reminds me of a certain patent clerk and his theories about time and space. History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. (via @daveg)
Update: Here's a good profile of and interview with Zhang.
Erica Klarreich, a Berkeley-based science writer who has a Ph.D. in mathematics and has written about Zhang, says his proof demonstrates the remarkable balance between order and randomness within the prime numbers. "Prime numbers are anything but random -- they are completely determined," Klarreich says. "Nevertheless, they seem to behave in many respects like randomly-sprinkled numbers that eventually display all possible clumps and clusters. Zhang's work helps to put this conjectured picture of the primes on a solid footing."
Update: Alec Wilkinson has a profile of Zhang in the Feb 2, 2015 issue of the New Yorker: The Pursuit of Beauty.
Zhang, who also calls himself Tom, had published only one paper, to quiet acclaim, in 2001. In 2010, he was fifty-five. "No mathematician should ever allow himself to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man's game," Hardy wrote. He also wrote, "I do not know of an instance of a major mathematical advance initiated by a man past fifty." Zhang had received a Ph.D. in algebraic geometry from Purdue in 1991. His adviser, T. T. Moh, with whom he parted unhappily, recently wrote a description on his Web site of Zhang as a graduate student: "When I looked into his eyes, I found a disturbing soul, a burning bush, an explorer who wanted to reach the North Pole." Zhang left Purdue without Moh's support, and, having published no papers, was unable to find an academic job. He lived, sometimes with friends, in Lexington, Kentucky, where he had occasional work, and in New York City, where he also had friends and occasional work. In Kentucky, he became involved with a group interested in Chinese democracy. Its slogan was "Freedom, Democracy, Rule of Law, and Pluralism." A member of the group, a chemist in a lab, opened a Subway franchise as a means of raising money. "Since Tom was a genius at numbers," another member of the group told me, "he was invited to help him." Zhang kept the books. "Sometimes, if it was busy at the store, I helped with the cash register," Zhang told me recently. "Even I knew how to make the sandwiches, but I didn't do it so much." When Zhang wasn't working, he would go to the library at the University of Kentucky and read journals in algebraic geometry and number theory. "For years, I didn't really keep up my dream in mathematics," he said.
"You must have been unhappy."
He shrugged. "My life is not always easy," he said.

Fiscal Talks Go "Old-School"
'Cliff' Wranglers Weigh Medicare Age
The fiscal cliff has revived an old idea that long seemed unfeasible: gradually raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 from 65. Proponents of the idea point out that the health-overhaul law makes it easier, beginning in 2014, for seniors to buy private insurance, by banning insurance denials based on pre-existing conditions. Opponents caution that the change could raise premiums for younger people who buy private plans alongside these seniors in the law's new marketplaces, and on large employers who would be required to cover seniors in company plans. WSJ's Louise Radnofsky explains.

Freshman year. Unknown teachers, book fees, roommate issues, and more. Have you ever written a paper and felt like you got an A but your instructor thought otherwise? This has happened to me plenty of times. The worst part is that the instructor won't even let you redo the paper even after your countless hours of hard work. To top that off, you're broke with no money in the bank. You've applied to a countless number of jobs but no one will hire you because you've never had a job before. Pretty soon you are ready to just give up! Next thing you know, your phone rings. "Hello is this Britney?" "Yes" I say. "Are you still interested in the job position?"… Aha, life has just began. 🙂

An Artist's Voice
Aesthetic Commentary
Matthew Barneys Cremaster Cycle is
on view at the Guggenheim now through June 11th
2003. The exhibition is a project of five
films with some of the sets and props that have doubled as
installations. A few of the more unique mediums he works with are
tapioca and Vaseline. The theme of the entire project (1994-2002)
is based on the cremaster, which is the involuntary muscle that
creates the rising and falling of the scrotum.
An art critic for the Village Voice
coos that he has loved everything Barney has done since a 1990 group show:
Suddenly, this 22-year-old appeared naked, in a videotape,
climbing ropes, then lowering himself over a wedge of Vaseline
and applying dollops of it to his body. I think the critic was blinded by
visions of a lubricious Barney lowering himself over a whole other kind of wedge.
He continues: Since then, Barney has
been able to do no wrong by me, which is exactly the kind of
unequivocal wet kiss from a critic I hate.
Nancy Spector, the curator of the
Guggenheim, wrote the synopses of the five films of the Cremaster
Cycle. Here is an
Cremaster 2
embodies this regressive impulse through its looping narrative,
moving from 1977, the year of Gary Gilmores execution, to
1893, when Harry Houdini, who may have been Gilmores
grandfather, performed at the Worlds Colombian Exposition.
The film is structured around three interrelated themesthe
landscape as witness, the story of Gilmore (played by Barney,)
and the life of beesthat metaphorically describe the
potential of moving backward in order to escape ones
destiny. Both Gilmores kinship to Houdini (played by
Norman Mailer) and his correlation with the male bee are
established in the séance/conception scene in the beginning of
the film, during which Houdinis spirit is summoned and
Gilmores father expires after fertilizing his wife.
She steers clear of
evaluating the work in print, playing it safe by merely cataloging the
content. Yet, she saves her normative abstractions for throwing
the weight of Guggenheim behind her as she erects the artist's exhibition.
A scene from the Cremaster 3 film was
set inside the Guggenheim. It is loaded with references to Las
Vegas showgirls, game shows, mythology, blood, and ambition.
dressed in Scottish garb, climbs artificial mountain panels on
the outer ramp-walls of the Guggenheim rotunda, reminiscent of
televised athletic contests. Symbolic of competing for and
scaling the heights of the art world. Along the way he solves a
spatial puzzle proving that he is adept at aesthetic technique.
He overcomes a physical challenge by the half-woman half-tigress
that bites him on the mouth, drawing a substantial amount of
blood. This creates the double symbolism of Barney being Christ and the half-woman
representing the predatory nature of dealers and
agents. The wound to the mouth is suggestive that it is better to
remain silent if you are to pursue your ambitions no matter how
much of your life force it drains. The climax is when he reaches
the upper most heights of the Guggenheim to find a zombie-like
Richard Serra, monumental minimalist sculptor, decked out in
industrial garb shoveling boiled Vaseline onto the top of a
mini-ramp. Then there is a close-up shot of the oozing
lubricants downward path. Either due to the spectacle of
Serra at the top of the art world or to the absurdity of his
shoveling slime on the inner ramp-walls of the Guggenheim
rotunda, Barney falls over the ramp to splash into a bubble bath
filled with showgirls. Ah, success! The denouement is
that he takes revenge on the woman/tigress and kills her.
Barney is following in the wake of the
anti-art aesthetic of the Dadaists, but he is dangerously close to
taking his expression seriously. Barney is more
like a beginning
filmmaker; being just incoherent enough to qualify as a postmodernist. In other
rooms of the Guggenheim, Barney includes
the films sets in the exhibition, such as the scores of
plastic 6-foot pillars. For someone who enjoys art and intelligence, it was
ridiculous to see an exhibition space littered with plastic pillars.
Also on exhibit are some of the quite
brilliant still photographs taken from the films. A great deal of
credit must go to the cameraman, Peter Strietmann. He has a great
eye for composition and essential details.
As Barney slithers up and down the heights
of the art world, I think it is a good time for us to step back,
way back, and question the viability of postmodern art. There is
a shift of attitude by the contemporary postmodernists such as
McCarthy, Huyghe, and Barney, a nuance of difference between them
and the Dadaists. Duchamp had an overpowering sense of cynicism
but he also had his wits about him, like his comment on the use
of a Rembrandt canvas as a cover for an ironing board. He knew
and played with the fact that he was an anti-artist. These post
postmodernists dont have this type of awareness. They
sincerely express, as if it were a value, chaos, morbid states,
unintelligibility, temporal mediums, and an overall negative view
of humanity without any sense of irony; not that irony makes the
absurd any less so.
David Rockefeller speaking of MoMA, though
he could be speaking of museums in general, says: As for
the polemics over whether MoMA should choose a period and just
not collect beyond itmaybe Abstract Expressionism; Modern
but not post-ModernI feel the museum has an obligation to
continue to collect into the present, to identify the best, most
creative artists of today.
In a spirit of goodwill towards humanity, it
would be fantastic if curators and critics would reevaluate the
meaning of postmodern aesthetics in light of human values; and,
then, perhaps, we would see more than blarney at the
Guggenheim. But then, they didn't assume the position of mounting postmodern art
by using reason and values.

Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 car review
Sunday 22 July 2007
Ten Point Test
Auto Trader Ten Point Test rating: 82%
Land Rover has been synonymous with rugged off road ability since it started building vehicles in 1948.
But today's buyer demands more comfort, more on-road ability and better fuel economy with the rugged look which Land Rover is famous for.
That's where the Freelander steps in. The original model was a best seller across Europe and its replacement, according to Land Rover, is better in every way.
We took to the road to find out.
1. Looks 8/10
Those loving the rugged looks of the Discovery and Range Rover Sport will find lots to like in the Freelander. It's immediately identifiable as the baby Land Rover, but styling cues like its twin-unit headlights, bulbous snout and huge vents on the wings move things along nicely.
The door handles are pleasantly bulky and feel robust – a theme that's strengthened by the no-nonsense black trim around the bottom of the car.
2. Looks inside 8/10
Like the exterior, the cabin owes plenty to the Land Rover Freelander's bigger brothers. The interior feels very high quality and chunky – particularly the door pillars and steering wheel. The centre console is festooned with buttons to control the audio, telephone, sat-nav and heating systems. But despite looking chaotic, all the controls were surprisingly easy to locate. Aft of these controls is a dial to select the Terrain Response system modes, which adjusts how the power is transferred to the wheels depending on the road surface.
3. Practicality 7/10
The electrically-operated seats were supremely comfortable, and there was more than enough leg, shoulder and head room for front occupants. However, rear space was slightly disappointing for such a big vehicle. Boot space is plentiful, but at 755 litres, less than some of its rivals. This has much to do with the raised boot floor which covers the spare wheel underneath – without it, space could be increased by another 200-odd litres. And unlike some soft-roaders, the Freelander is carpeted throughout – pleasant for a run to the shops, but a nightmare for muddy boots.
4. Ride and Handling 8/10
On the road the Freelander feels as composed as some saloon cars. It soaks up lumps and bumps with ease and bodyroll – often the Achilles heel of SUVs – is minimal. The steering is precise for an off-roader, but has a tendency to become slightly vague at speed. This became particularly disconcerting on fast motorway bends, where the front of the car felt as though it was beginning to push wide into understeer.
5. Performance 8/10
The 2.2-litre turbo diesel fitted in our test car has a remarkable turn of speed, particularly through the gears. It can reach 62mph from rest in 10.2 seconds, before hitting 112mph. That's thanks to a hefty 295lb/ft of pulling muscle rather than its 158bhp. The engine feels refined, even at higher speeds, and there's just enough power available at low engine speeds to make the Freelander a nippy machine around town.
6. Running Costs 7/10
At more than £30,000, our Freelander didn't come cheap. The range starts at just over £20k, which is on par with a well specced Nissan X-Trail; indeed a middle-of-the-range Freelander is around the same price as an entry-level Discovery. But few other rivals can compete with the Land Rover's image.
On a variety of rapid motorway journeys and through-town crawls the Freelander managed to return just over 33mpg – 4mpg less than the official figure. Road tax is a heavyweight £205 a year at the time of going to press thanks to 194g/km of CO2, while insurance is group 13; typical of this class of car.
7. Reliability 8/10
Previous Freelanders have been beset with niggling faults, but reports so far indicate this, the second generation, to be largely fault free. It certainly felt like a solid piece of kit, and we foresaw no cause for concern on our low-mileage test car.
8. Safety 10/10
The Freelander scored a full five stars for adult occupant protection in the EuroNCAP crash tests, and four stars for child protection. All models feature seven airbags as standard – driver, passenger, front side, side curtain and driver's knee. It also has an intelligent four wheel drive system which pumps 10 per cent of the power to the rear wheels in normal driving conditions, but can transfer almost all power to the rear if the going gets tough. All models bar the entry level Freelander have Land Rover's Terrain Response system which optimises traction depending on the road conditions.
9. Equipment 9/10
All models come with alloy wheels, air conditioning and a CD player, while our range-topping HSE counted leather seats, a touch screen sat-nav with integrated telephone, an Alpine stereo with 12 speakers and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard.
10. X-Factor 9/10
The little Land Rover might not offer ultimate luxury like the big Range Rover or amazing off-road ability like the Defender. But the Freelander is a sensible choice for townies who occasionally need to traverse fields. It should make an excellent towcar too.
Key facts
Model tested: Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE TD4

The Bulls were scheduled to conclude their series with Tradewater on Saturday.
The Bulls are scheduled to play a doubleheader at Farmington today.

The third piece of Borderlands 2's DLC is here, and this time Sir Hammerlock wants to go big game hunting…
As one of the best games of last year, and certainly one of the most enjoyable with friends, Borderlands 2 is a game that just keeps giving, well, if you pay for the privilege that is.
Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is the name of the next campaign add-on, and is the third of the planned four DLC packs. This adventure, starring the one armed, and distinctly British game hunter takes you to Aegrus, a new area on Pandora rife with savages, dangerous new creatures and a rather unfriendly professor named Nakayama, who serves as the new antagonist.
As always with Borderlands 2 DLC, the pack promises new environments, weapons, vehicles, enemies and also extra costumes for the vault hunters. You can get the new DLC for 800 MS Points on Xbox, or for £7.99 on PS3 and PC. If you've already purchased the season pass, then it's free.

Beetroot as such is a very versatile vegetable and can be eaten raw. Most of times you find people eating beetroot in the salads are few of them also drink beetroot juice.
Usually grated beetroot curry is a dry vegetable popularly prepared among the South Indian Brahmin community. You can twist into so many interesting recipes as per your taste.

It is particularly rich in Vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Split lentils are wonderful in curries and frittes. Split moong lentils are also mixed with rice dishes. One such dish is the Kichidi which is very popular and healthy too. Split lentils are known for their nutrition, energy giving and digestive properties, these lentil tastes delicious when seasoned with any other vegetable and spices.
Preparing the Grated Beetroot curry is very simple. Remove the upper skin of the beetroot using a peeler and grate the beetroots. Soak moong dal for about 30 minutes.

Recipe by Vahchef.
Lets know about beetroot and its benefits. Beetroot is also known as red beet or garden beet. The most commonly variety of beetroot is cultivated in North America and Britain. The usually deep-red roots of beetroot are eaten boiled either as a cooked vegetable, or cold as a salad after cooking and adding oil and vinegar, or raw and shredded, either alone or combined with any salad vegetable.
Beetroots are a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients, including magnesium, sodium, potassium and vitamin C, and betaine, which is important for cardiovascular health. Beetroot juice has been shown to lower blood pressure and thus help prevent cardiovascular problems. Other studies have found the positive effects beetroot juice can have on human exercise and performances.
Beetroot is a good tonic food for health. It contains carbohydrates, mainly in the form of sugar, and it has a little protein and fat. This juice is rich in easily digestible carbohydrates, but the calorie content is low. The protein factors or amino acids are good in both quality and quantity.
Beets are of great therapeutic value. They have properties to clean the kidneys and gall bladder. Being rich in alkaline elements, pottasium, calcium, magnesium and iron, they are useful in combating acidosis and acid the natural processes of elimination. The juice of the red beet strengthens the body's powers of resistance and has proved to be an excellent remedy for anaemia, especially for children and teenagers where other blood forming remedies have failed. Beet juice is beneficial in the treatment of jaundice, hepatitis, nausea and vomitting due to biliousness, diarrhoea and dysentary.
So now you know the nutrition benefits of beetroot then why don't you also see the making of Grated beetroot curry and feed it to you kids and family. Watch at

Pollution of the earth, the air, and the sea is invented by scientists, managed by politicians, overlooked by the press, and imbued with immediate risk to the common man and will spell the fate of countless victims in future generations. Such is the view of this book, by a British nuclear technician, who writes "on the optimistic assumption that we are not going to be killed in a nuclear war."
Current planning estimates for a nuclear war "run in the order of several hundred million deaths," an American Senate committee was told in 1956. And the use of fission-fusion-fission bombs "on any appreciable scale in war," says Arnott, "would speedily render the whole planet untenable for all men."
But nuclear activity short of war, which is the real theme of this book, presents "a hazard some ten million times greater that that of any poison previously experienced by men." This

A hearing Wednesday will help a federal judge decide whether to keep blocking a Mississippi abortion clinic regulation.
The state's only abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, says it could be forced to close if the law is enforced.
The measure would require anyone performing abortions at the clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.
The clinic says admitting privileges aren't medically necessary, while supporters of the law say it's designed to protect patient safety.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan, III, temporarily blocked the law July 1.
During a hearing set for 1 p.m., the clinic's attorneys will try to persuade Jordan to keep the law on hold, while attorneys for the state will argue it should take effect.

A common question we receive is "What kind of financial aid is available for PhD students?" and "How do I apply for financial aid if I am applying to the PhD program?"
Each student who is admitted to the PhD program is almost always fully funded by the admitting department, usually via a research or teaching assistantship. The exact terms of the award vary by department but they all include a 100% tuition/fee waiver plus a monthly stipend. (The stipend varies between departments so I cannot comment or guess how much the stipend is for any specific department.)
Accordingly, when you prepare your application for the PhD program, there is nothing additional that you will need to submit to be considered for financial aid … rather, focus on getting admitted – if you are admitted, financial support will follow.

Hello Maurice, what you need to look at is having a persistent boot

or if I remember correctly even a CF card. Very handy.

First Year Teacher Self-Study Course
First Year Teacher is a self-paced professional development course for novice K-3 teachers, developed by Reading Rockets. The program provides teachers with an in-depth knowledge of reading so they are prepared to guide their students into becoming skilled and enthusiastic readers.
Comprehension is the reason for reading. If readers can read the words but do not understand or connect to what they are reading, they are not really reading.
Strong readers are both purposeful and active, and use their experiences and knowledge of the world, vocabulary, language structure, and reading strategies to make sense of the text and know how to get the most out of it. They know when they have problems with understanding and what thinking strategies to use to resolve these problems when they pop up.

One-on-One: Lubern Figaro '14 - Everett (MA) Football
Posted: January 30 2013
Everett junior defensive back Lubern Figaro '14 isfresh off another Super Bowl Championship and back it on the hardwood the winter for the Crimson Tide basketball team.
We caught up with the junior prospect as he balances off-season football conditioning and a busy Greater Boston League basketball schedule.
Can you talk a little about your success on the gridiron this season, both as a team and individually?
LF: The success we had this season as a team and individually was great. Winning three super bowls in a row, back to back to back, was a great accomplishment.
Talk a little about the strong tradition of playing football at Everett High School.
LF: The tradition of playing football at Everett is great, Just knowing this city has won nine Super Bowl championships and playing under one of the best high school coaches to ever coach the game is amazing. Throughout my years of playing here I have played with a lot of good players who ended up playing college football. It is something I want to and expect to do one day.
As one of the top junior prospects in New England talk about some of the things you do in the off-season to improve your game.
LF: Throughout the off-season I am just always working on my skill sets and trying to work harder then the next guy. I am thankful to be known as one of the top junior prospects and that just makes me want to work even harder and get better every day.
As a versatile defensive back, talk a little about your game and what you perceive to be your strengths as well as something you need to continue to work on.
LF: My game is getting better every day. My strengths are my footwork and my football I.Q, as well as the way that I speak up. I need to continue to work on some of my decisions and getting out of my breaks better. Those are what I am going to work on all summer.
You also play basketball. Talk about how basketball and other sports help your football game and what your off-season football plan consists of.
LF: Basketball helps a lot with my defense and it keeps me in great shape. This year my off-season football plan consists of strength training, I just want my last year of playing high school football to be one of the best ones, I am here to work and there are no days off.
You recently attended the BC junior day. Can you talk about that experience overall?
LF: That was a good experience for me, just meeting new kids from different areas and seeing what I have to compete with, I loved it down there and felt like I was at home. The coaching staff at BC is great, especially the way they treated the players. They make make sure that you handle your business in the classroom and I love that. There is definitely competition and that makes me want to work even harder after that experience.
How has the recruiting process been going early and what are you looking for in a potential college?
LF: The recruiting process is still not were I want it to be but hopefully it picks up. The thing I am looking for in a school early in the process is a place where I can compete and where they push their players. I am hearing from Boston College and others and hopefully more when the recruiting process picks up.
Talk a little about the team and how it looks next year.
LF: Next year we have a lot of players we need to replace but with the athletes we have in Everett I know we can do it. Our defense is going to be very solid next year and we just have to replace a lot of key players on offense.
Who was the best or best player or players that you played against in the past two seasons and some of your toughest competition at Everett?
LF: The best player who I have played against was DJ Crook (Penn State) of Barnstable. The toughest completion I had from Everett was Manny Asprilla (pictured below at Boston College).

Theater review: 'Hair'
JAY GABLER | Updated 6/28/2013
7th House attempts more modern "Hair."
The ensemble cast of 7th House Theater Collective in "Hair."
Provided photo
As time-capsule musicals go, "Hair" is unusual. Unlike "Grease" or "Rock of Ages," "Hair" was actually created during the era it depicts. Both celebrating and gently satirizing late-'60s youth culture, "Hair" helped to define the hippie movement in popular imagination.
The musical debuted on Broadway in 1968 and is still frequently produced today, typically given a throwback treatment that turns the flower power up to 11. By contrast, the new production by 7th House Theater Collective at 514 Studio — a garage-like space in Minneapolis' North Loop — aims to make "Hair" relevant for contemporary audiences.
"Hair" features the most famous nude scene in the history of musical theater, but Michael Brindisi — credited as co-director with his "Tribe" of actors — strips the show of more than just its bell bottoms. Presented in the round with the accompaniment of a live (and barefoot) rock band, this "Hair" brings the audience right into the Be-In. Yes, some of the seating is on floor cushions. Yes, you may be pulled up to dance, or have a cast member lounge in your lap. No, you will not be invited to strip — though if you decided to get in the spirit and drop trou, it seems unlikely anyone would try to stop you.
With minimal sets (a few rolling ladders, a barrel for draft-card-burning, and that's about it), the production rests squarely on the shoulders of its capable and extremely enthusiastic young cast. The musical numbers in "Hair" come almost nonstop, each given distinct and tightly executed choreography by Emily King. Often forming concentric circles and spinning their limbs in waves, this is a "Hair" cast Busby Berkeley could love.
Removing the show's nostalgic trappings reveals both the underlying strengths and shortcomings of the source material. "Hair" is light on plot, and what there is suggests that the writers were as stoned as the characters. Relationships come out of nowhere, get entire songs, then disappear. One song shambles into another without much sense of logic or dramatic progression. That's all part of the trippy fun, but let's be honest: "My Fair Lady" it ain't.
Ultimately, in trying to find the universal relevance of "Hair," this production proves the opposite: "Hair" isn't about the human condition, it's about America in 1968. The less tightly this material is moored to that context, the harder it is to get a handle on scenes like the spoof pageant of American history, with ethnic stereotypes flying fast and furious.
This "Hair" is at its best when it embraces the "Glee"-like spirit of the proceedings, with the big-voiced ensemble merrily nailing pop-culture chestnuts like "Aquarius," "Good Morning Starshine" and the title song. In bringing the spirit of the '60s up close and personal, this production serves as a poignant reminder of just what a long, strange trip it's been since the Summer of Love.
Who: 7th House Theater Collective.
When: 8 p.m. Thu-Mon.
Where: 514 Studio, 514 3rd Av. N., Mpls.

Xiao, NC, Shi, T, Calder, CA, Munroe, DK, Berrett, C, Wolfinbarger, S, Li, DM (2009). Spatial characteristics of the difference between MISR and MODIS aerosol optical depth retrievals over mainland Southeast Asia. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 113(1), 1-9.
AbstractThe difference between aerosol optical depths (AODs) retrieved from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro radiometer (MODIS) is examined over mainland Southeast Asia from a spatial perspective. Though ideally the difference between these measurement methods should be small and randomly distributed over space, our analysis suggests that this difference has a strong negative relationship with MODIS AODs and tend to be spatially clustered. We quantify the spatial dependence in MISR/MODIS AOD differences and explore the extent to which the spatial patterns in these differences can be explained by variables that reflect the influence of physical environment and human activities. While these variables show a strong relationship with MISR/MODIS AOD differences, the results also suggest that further research is needed to fully understand the spatial dependence in these differences.

Why do I need a title report?
Why Title Reports are Necessary
Answer: As much as you as a buyer may want to believe that the home you have found is perfect, a clear title report ensures there are no liens placed against the prior owners or any documents that will restrict your use of the property.
A preliminary title report provides you with an opportunity to review any impediment that would prevent clear title from passing to you.
When reading a preliminary report, it is important to check the extent of your ownership rights or interest. The most common form of interest is "fee simple" or "fee," which is the highest type of interest an owner can have in land.
Liens, restrictions and interests of others excluded from title coverage will be listed numerically as exceptions in the report.
You also may have to consider interests of any third parties, such as easements granted by prior owners that limit use of the property. Some buyers attempt to clear these unwanted items prior to purchase.
