Skill Level Intermediate
In some cases, you may want to apply a Sharpening Effect to specific areas of an image. Whether to enhance detail in that specific area, or to apply Creative Effect to a particular subject. In this lesson, we'll take a look at a method for applying Sharpening to a targetted area of a photo. In this particular case, I 'd like to enhance some of the cracks in the paint. I just really like this texture, especially in the blue paint on the edges of this bench. And so I would like to apply Additional Creative Sharpening to that particular area.
I'm going to start off by creating a selection. In this case I think I can get a good selection with the Quick Selection tool. So I'll go ahead and choose the Quick Selection tool from the toolbox. And then Click and Drag across the blue painted area, in order to create a selection there. I can then paint in the additional blue area here, in the distance if I like. And now I have what looks to be a good selection for purposes of applying a targeted Sharpening Effect, to just this area of the image. I'm going to apply the Sharpening as a SmartFilter, so with my background image layer active, I'll choose Filter > Convert for Smart Filters from the menu. I'll go ahead and click OK to confirm that decision. And you can see that now my Background Image layer has become a smart object. So now when I apply a Filter, it will be done as a SmartFilter. This gives me maximum flexibility.
I'll go ahead and choose Filter > Sharpen and then Smart Sharpen and this filter is being applied as a SmartFilter. It will appear when I Click OK, below my layer zero now what had been my Background Image layer. So that I can always go back and refine the sharpening if I decide I'd like to later. Going to move this dialog out of the way just a little bit. And then I can work with my radius and amount sliders in order to fine tune the effect, I want a somewhat strong effect, but not too terribly strong.
I'll use a relatively high radius setting and a somewhat strong amount setting. You can see, I'm go ahead and click in a different portion of the image, you can see that I'm getting halos and, you know, a variety of problems. And I'm even sharpening some of the smooth texture areas of the image. But ultimately, this Sharpening Effect, will only apply to the area that I've selected previously. We'll see that in just a moment. I'll continue fine tuning the effect here, I'll reduce that radius a little bit, and reduce the amount just a hair. So you can see I've got relatively strong sharpening, in the blue paint areas of the image.
But in a moment we'll see that that's the only area being affected. I'll go ahead and click OK to close the Smart Sharpen dialog, and you can see I've applied my SmartFilter, the Smart Sharpen filter specifically. Because it's a SmartFilter at any time I could double-click on Smart Sharpen, to bring up the Smart Sharpen dialog and change my sharpening settings if desired. I'll go ahead and just Click OK in this his case, but I also have a layer mask, and you can see that this layer mask reflects my original selection. Areas that are white are areas that I had previously selected, and areas that are black are areas that were not selected. So this Sharpening filter, in this case Smart Sharpen, is only effecting the blue painted areas, the areas that I had previously selected. But of course I could change that at any time.
Black blocks and white reveals in the context of a layer mask. In this case the layer mask was based on a selection, but I could also use the brush tool. I'll go ahead and choose the Brush tool from the toolbox. I'll press the letter D to set my colors to their default values of black and white. I'll go ahead and Click on the Layer Mask associated with my Smart Filters. And now I can paint with black and white to block or reveal the adjustment, in this case the Sharpening Filter, anywhere in the image I'd like. So just by way of illustration, I'm going to exaggerate the Sharpening Effect so that things will be a bit more obvious. That'll certainly do it.
And I'll Click OK, and now if I use that Brush tool, again clicking on the thumbnail for my layer mask to make sure it's active. I can paint into the image to reveal that sharpening in additional areas, since I'm painting with white. Or, if I want to block the Sharpening Effect, I can press the letter X on the keyboard to switch my foreground and background colors. So that now black is my foreground color, and I can paint to block that Sharpening Effect. For example in this case, perhaps I've decided that I want the sharpening on the blue area, for this particular board, of the bench.
But I don't want to sharpen this blue portion back here, because it was rendered a little bit out of focus due to the narrow depth of field anyway. And so the sharpening really doesn't have a very good effect back there. So now you can take a look at the Layer Mask here. I've modified that mask, so that only the blue area in that foreground plank of wood, is actually getting the sharpening effect. And of course I can then go back and refine my sharpening, in this case it was a bit too strong. So I'll go adjust those settings, bring the radius down significantly and bring that amount down a bit as well.
And perhaps somewhere in that range then, we'll produce a nice result. As you've seen in this lesson, through the use of a Layer Mask, you can greatly expand your flexibility when it comes to sharpening. It enables you to apply Sharpening to specific areas of the image, within incredible flexibilty.

MoneyGram announces partnership with social payment platform
Dallas-based money transfer company MoneyGram has announced a partnership with social and mobile payment platform PicomoPay.
The new partnership will allow U.S. consumers to send money transfers via PicomoPay's Facebook application to more than 336,000 MoneyGram agent locations in more than 200 countries. The new service will be available to consumers in May.
PicomoPay, integrated within Facebook, allows consumers to conduct person-to-person payments funded by their PicomoPay Digital Wallet. Consumers can also buy and send virtual gift cards on Facebook.
"The opportunity to have a relationship with PicomoPay furthers our goal of accelerating the growth of our self-service channels," said Alex Hoffmann, MoneyGram executive vice president Global Product & Emerging Channels, in a statement.
The company says the new partnership seeks to innovate and leverage the ways in which consumers are transacting money online since consumers are beginning to make more purchases through social media.
"By leveraging growing payment trends on Facebook, the PicomoPay team is helping meet the huge demand for sending funds back to family and friends in their home markets," said Shoko Tsuji, vice president of Corporate Communications at PicomoPay, in a statement.
MoneyGram will announce its first quarter 2014 financial results on Tuesday, April 29 at 8 am CST.

Golden by Lady Antebellum
When Lady Antebellum was recording its fourth album, Golden, it's easy to imagine someone saying, "Loosen up, will ya?"
The group itself has admitted it was ready for a musical attitude adjustment after the string-heavy drama of 2011's Own the Night. And for the most part, Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood succeeded in rolling up their sleeves and rolling down the car windows on Golden.
Still, it's a tale of two albums. Despite the presence of utterly infectious single "Downtown" and the jangly "Better Off Now That You're Gone," the first half of Golden is a little too polished, as if the trio couldn't escape the pull of Own the Night's gravitas.
"Get to Me" lacks the oomph of an album opener, while "Goodbye Town" reaches a wonderful whoa-oh-oh crescendo but, at nearly five minutes, takes too long to get there.
Everything changes with the title track, however, a song that Stevie Nicks, the band's partner on CMT Crossroads, refers to as Lady A's "Landslide." It could be; Charles' vulnerable vocal and its spare arrangement render it gorgeous.
"Long Teenage Goodbye," meanwhile, is all summery innocence, a welcome breezy love song. And "All for Love," cliché title aside, is a Hillary and Charles duet that soars.
But it's the one-two punch of "Better Man" and "Generation Away" that suggests Lady Antebellum is close to finding the secret for mixing easygoing music with evocative, mature lyrics. It's musical alchemy.

USA, 1989, 120 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: African-American, Drama, Political, Social IssuesLanguage: English
Spike Lee's racial and political filmmaking bent is given the full treatment with this simmering exposé of racial tensions in a New York City neighborhood one scorching summer day. The film, written by Lee (and nominated for an Oscar), follows a group of racially diverse inhabitants of Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood as they spend their day trying to avoid the oppressive heat. These include African-American pizza deliveryman Mookie (Lee), the racially sensitive Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), and the silent, boom-box-blasting Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn). Also thrown into the mix are Sal (an Oscar-nominated Danny Aiello), the Italian-American proprietor of Sal's Pizzeria, as well as his two sons, Pino (John Turturro) and Vito (Richard Edson), who hold completely opposing attitudes when it comes to race. After Buggin' Out tries to organize a boycott of Sal's because of the lack of racial diversity on his shop's Wall of Fame, the tensions explode in an act of senseless violence. Lee's film is an electric work of political entertainment that confronts sensitive racial issues head-on. He deftly blends humor and drama, as well as using specific music to further amplify his theme (Public Enemy's song "Fight the Power" actually becomes the film's main catalyst for action). Boldly closing the film with opposing quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther King on the nature of race relations, Lee leaves it up to the viewer to decide if Mookie's actions were the correct ones. Aiello and Esposito are standouts in an all-star cast that includes Lee's sister Joie, "discovery" Rosie Perez, and the married team of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. Always one to spark controversy, the filmmaker is at the peak of his craft with this summer drama.

A Wilson family reunion
Ron Wilson to coach first game with Leafs with Uncle Johnny in attendance
Thursday, 10.9.2008 / 2:15 PM ET / Features
By Michael Caples - Detroit Red Wings Staff Writer
|Johnny Wilson
The elder Wilson, who played in 379 games with the Red Wings from 1949-59, said that he doesn't really know who to cheer for when the puck drops.
"They say blood is thicker than water, but it's difficult for me because I like to see my nephew do well, but I'm still an old Red Wing from the heart because that's where I started and grew up, as a Red Wing," Johnny Wilson said.
Coach Wilson, however, took a different approach to questioning about how he feels with his uncle here tonight, saying that was actually concerned about how it might affect the outcome of the game.
"Oh, we've been talking already, he always comes around, he says the Red Wings accuse him of being a spy," said Wilson, who has coached 518 NHL victories. "But I just realized today that I've hardly ever won in this building, he actually may be spying on me, he might actually be a double agent, you know?"
No matter how the score plays out tonight, this game will be a sentimental moment for the Wilson family. Ron's father, Larry, was a member of the Red Wings for three seasons before he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks. In the 1949-50 season, the Red Wings captured the Stanley Cup with both Wilson brothers on board.
"Well, when you consider that a father and an uncle were on a 1950 championship team here, and the fact that (Ron) grew up in this area and watched his father play and watched his father coach in Dayton, Ohio … coming in here as a first-year coach as a very prominent franchise when he grew up around this one, I think that would have some significance because Ron is a student of history," said Versus commentator Doc Emrick, who has covered professional hockey since 1973. "He doesn't let history dictate what he does, but he's enough of a student and appreciator of it, that he'll find this a significant night not only for him, but the atmosphere I think he'll really, really like."
|Mike Babcock and then-San Jose coach Ron Wilson, Johnny Wilson's nephew, coached the West All-Stars together in Atlanta last January.
Emrick went on to say that Johnny Wilson will appreciate the merging of so much family and hockey history.
"Johnny is fortunately still with us, unlike Larry, I think the fact that John can be here and watch this will mean an awful lot to both of them, because this is kind of like coming full cycle," Emrick said. "Ron's not coaching the Red Wings, but he's coaching an Original Six team, for the first time, and he's coaching in Detroit for his first game. All of us people who are balding and grey at the temples always like any connection with the past, and this certainly is that."
Johnny said that tonight's celebration of an 11th Stanley Cup championship in Detroit will be a little different than the days when he was lacing up his skates at Olympia.
"Well back when I was playing with the Red Wings we had no banners to raise, we just started the game," Wilson said. "So it's a big thrill because I broke in with the Red Wings when I was a kid, and been a Red Wings' fan all my life."
The elder Wilson went on to say that the fans in Hockeytown deserve a celebration of this magnitude, because they're the best in the business.
"It'll be nice to see banners go up because the fans here in Detroit are wonderful, they put all their athletes here on a pedestal, you walk around town they all recognize you, even though it was 40 or 50 years ago since I played, and its quite an honor, it makes you feel good that they still recognize you and who you are and what you accomplished over the years."
But Wilson said that the excitement of watching his nephew lead the famous Toronto Maple Leafs may be even better then watching his former club raise another banner.
"It's going to be quite an honor, with him coaching the Maple Leafs," he said. "I've been watching him over a few years and I was out in San Jose when he coached his 1,000 game and we're very proud of him as a family - he's done a real good job.
"He'll straighten the Maple Leafs out, it'll take a little while because things don't just happen overnight you know? But he's highly qualified and he's made a great study of the game, he's got a lot to work with naturally but he's very close to the players and they'll enjoy him and they'll give him 100 percent every game."

Jaipur Cricket Academy director Anand Singh Rathore took the initiative to raise his voice against the actor's smoking act in public. Talking to a leading daily, Anand Singh Rathore said that since smoking in public zones is banned in Rajasthan, it is surprising how was Khan allowed to carry the cigarette inside the stadium. The court will hear the case on April 12.
Shahrukh Khan, who is very much aware of the bad effects of smoking, vowed to kick the butt many a times, but failed. In fact, the superstar's daughter, Suhana Khan too reprimands her dad to quit the habit.

A number of scholarships are available to graduate students at Emory University. Basic support includes tuition scholarships, generous stipends, and subsidized health insurance. Regular fellowship support covers the full cost of tuition and includes a generous annual stipend. Three additional fellowships are available: the Robert W. Woodruff Fellowship, the Emory Graduate Diversity Fellowship, and the Arts & Sciences Fellowship provide funding beyond the regular fellowships and cover 12 months of support. As long as students make satisfactory academic progress, the level of support they are awarded on admission can be renewed for up to five years (four in some programs). Individual Courses of Study determine which of their applicants to nominate for regular fellowships as well as for special fellowships. A faculty review committee in Laney Graduate School makes the final selections.
Other sources of financial support available include Professional Development Support Funds and Advanced Student Fellowships. Professional Development Support (PDS) Funds offer graduate students support for activities beyond their regular coursework and research that contribute to their development as scholars and professionals. These activities include attending conferences, travel expenses relating to research, obtaining additional training, and other research expenses. These funds are available by application. Students can receive up to $2,500 over the course of their program of study. Application for these funds requires the recommendation of the student's advisor. Additional funding beyond the $2,500 is available through a competitive application process. The Laney Graduate School, sometimes in cooperation with other Emory entities, offers a number of advanced student fellowships. These are one-year fellowships designed for students who have exhausted their "regular" fellowships but need one more year of support to complete their degrees.
Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program at Emory University (LACS)-This program has had a strong tradition of sponsoring exhibits, lectures, symposia, and performances that reflect the research interests of our affiliated faculty. The core faculty of thirty-one Latin-Americanists represents one of largest groups of faculty associated with an area studies program at Emory University.
Electronic Databases at Emory University libraries include access to the Handbook of Latin American Studies and the Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI).

The NM-4B-U and NM-8B-U (ISDN BRI Network Modules for the Cisco 3600 with integrated NT-1) have a problem in the ISDN "dying gasp" circuit that leads to the following symptoms:
Not all the BRI ports come up after a reload. If you unplug, and then plug the ports in individually, they will come up.
If you issue the clear interface command on one port, other ports on the network module will also be cleared.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — State transportation plow crews are gearing up for up to a foot of snow expected to fall in New Hampshire starting Saturday night and lasting into Sunday.
Transportation Department Spokesman Bill Boynton said Friday that the season's first big storm is expected to hit the Salem area first at about 4 p.m. Saturday and spread across the state. Temperatures may be around 15 degrees, which is too cold to pre-treat roads with a salt-brine mixture. Boynton said the mixture won't prevent ice build-up if temperatures are too cold.
The National Weather Service said six to 12 inches of snow was expected from Saturday to Sunday in most of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Areas north and west of New York City also could get eight inches or more. And sleet and freezing rain were expected.
Boynton said highway crews should have an easier time keeping roads clear since the snow will start falling at night and on a weekend when there is less traffic.
Boynton said the storm is expected to last about 18 hours.
Gov. Maggie Hassan's office says it will closely monitor the storm and open the emergency operations center if necessary.

Adventures on skis
With more and more people taking up adventurous skiing in a bid to get away from the lifts and pistes, we want to make sure that our customers find the right gear. We see 4 distinct groups on the piste and have created the categories below to help you find clothing thats designed for your style. Feel free to pick and choose any combination that takes your fancy, but we hope that our guide will help you if you're needing a pointer.
The mountains are calling. Whether you're just starting out or you caught the ski bug long ago, it's the once or twice a year extravagance that allows you to bond with family and friends over a day of fun on the mountain and a gluwein in the lodge. Beginner, intermediate or slope veteran, you aspire to one-day conquer the piste with ease and are looking for reliable equipment that looks great and gives you the top notch performance that you need to help you get there. There just isn't time to get to grips with complex kit, so you want straightforward, practical gear that will keep you warm, dry and comfortable for season's to come; allowing you to make the most of your time in the resort, without breaking the bank.
You yearn to break free of the piste, to escape the crowds and head off into the great unknown. You have committed to the eternal pursuit for the perfect powder; that raw, untouched terrain that makes you feel both insignificant and invincible. Leaving the ski lifts behind, you explore unchartered territory in search of challenge and adventure; there are no radiators or hand dryers out here, so your kit has to be as tough and dependable as you are to ensure that the snow stays out and the heat stays in. Earning your turns by climbing and hiking, you carry a pack that keeps your extra layers, supplies and safety equipment close at hand, allowing you to immerse yourself in the backcountry for the purest possible mountain experience. Find out more
Whether you hit the slopes every chance that you get, or you're on that one hallowed trip of the year, you're in search of the ultimate ride. It doesn't matter if you're perfecting linking your turns; throwing tricks in the park or escaping into the backcountry, when you get it right it's the best feeling on earth. You want your set-up completely dialled and if the snow's good, you want to be able to ride from first lift to last lift, so you need clothing that can take whatever the elements have to throw at it, with a laid-back urban look that can take you from snow to street. You love an innovative feature and any effort to keep your media tech safely close at hand is a definite plus, whether you're cruising to tunes or hanging in the lodge.

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins Foolishness and Folly Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Be calm, oh, Sire, and have no fears," chanted the magicians "Our charm will work in ten short years." (100)
Yeah, but a lot can happen in ten years, so it seems kind of foolish to assume the charm will work in that time. Even if the hat did come off, there's no guarantee it would be the charm's doing. Fraudulence and foolishness, we say.

Preserving U.S. Leadership in Basic Science
Preserving U.S. Leadership in Basic Science
03.06.13 | By
A commentary posted today on Forbes nicely captures the vital importance of well-funded basic biomedical research to future innovation.
The authors call for a "bipartisan commitment to our nation's science investment by restoring the budgets of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other science agencies that support basic biomedical research in universities and medical schools in all 50 states - an area of federal spending that is highly productive and a critical investment."
They explain how basic research has led to life-extending advances in heart disease, stroke and HIV - and touch on the challenges ahead in diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes. They delve into the considerable human and economic benefits of investments in NIH.
They assert that continued investment in basic biomedical science is "key to our economic competitiveness," touching on the unique American ecosystem of government-funded basic research, academic research institutions, start-up biotech companies and established biopharmaceutical companies - and the efforts of countries such as China and India to build their own bioscience infrastructures.
Considering the collective experience of the three luminary authors - Marc Tessier-Lavigne, president of The Rockefeller University and former chief scientific officer at Genentech; P. Roy Vagelos, chairman of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and former chairman and CEO, Merck & Co.; and Elias Zerhouni, President R&D at Sanofi and former director of the National Institutes of Health - I hope Congress and the Administration listens.

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
By Dan Chiras
loving life, joyful life, loving heart, creating a better you, mindful living, love, incongruity, who are we, thoughts and actions, Dan Chiras
Years ago, I attended a conference on sustainable living in Boulder, Colorado. During one of the keynote speeches, a health food advocate made a bold request of her audience that stimulated years of thought on an important topic.
Her request?
"Don't judge me by my cupboards."
The speaker went on to explain that her cupboards were loaded with sugary cereals and other junk food.
She had children, who had to be appeased.
Her speech was on the importance of eating a healthful diet. The point she was trying to make was that it was by her beliefs we were to "judge" her.
This paradox triggered years of contemplation on the subject of who we are.
Just who are you?
Some people contend that we are what we believe.
I don't buy this.
I think our actions "speak" more to the point of who we are.
We may hold lots of lofty ideals, but if we don't put those ideals into action, what good are they?
Our beliefs are important, to be sure. Our beliefs are out better selves. But our actions are our day-to-day, this-is-who-we-really-are selves.
You can attend church on Sunday morning and bask in all the glorious ideals you hold and but you cannot be content with yourself if you don't put them into practice on a daily basis.
While our beliefs are important, you are deceiving yourself if you think your beliefs are who you are. It's what you do that defines you. It is how you act that counts.
You can believe in the environment and the value of environmental protection, but if drive a gas- guzzling car, you are living a lie.
You can believe in honesty and treating others well, but if you lie and cheat and treat others less than well, you are living a lie.
You can believe in competition, but if you work behind the scenes to eliminate the competitors, you are living a lie.
The late, sometimes-great Edward Abbey, author of the Monkey Wrench Gang, Desert Solitaire, and other books, once said "Sympathy without action is the ruin of the Soul."
I'm not sure we are ruined by our incongruity, but "sympathy without action" is a sign that we are living an incongruous life, which is a palatable way of saying we're living a lie.
The cure to this malady — the disconnect between thought and action — is alignment. Living your life as much as you can by your ideals.
Don't make excuses why you lose your temper or treat your friends, family members, or employees poorly — take steps to change your actions.
Don't make excuses why you can't do your part to create a greener world — take actions.
Don't make excuses why you can't drive the speed limit — do it!
Don't make excuses why you can't arrive to appointment on time — take steps to change your habits.
Align what you believe with how you act, meld the better self with the true self, and then you can brag that you are what you believe. You and others can judge you by what is in your cupboards, not in the fantasies you entertain about yourself.

Celery Gratin
Bring this vegetable-bin staple front and center in this creamy gratin -- you'll be surprised with the results.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, March 2006
- 1 pound celery (8 to 10 large stalks), peeled and thinly sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 slices white sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, mix celery, 1/2 cup Parmesan, cream, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Divide evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins, packing mixture in firmly. Place ramekins on baking sheet, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until celery is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, tear bread into large pieces, and pulse in food processor until coarse crumbs form. Add remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, and drizzle with olive oil; pulse just until crumbs are coated with oil, 4 to 6 times.
Remove aluminum foil from ramekins. Dividing evenly, sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over celery. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Project Caring and Sharing helps motivate kids who are in need
Fontana pastor helps provide to those in need
6-year-old asks for donations for L.A. Zoo in lieu of birthday gifts, sparks ongoing fund-raising effort
At nearly 6 feet 2 inches tall and about 380 pounds, 49-year-old Big Mike is the kind of man you'd want to meet in a dark alley.
He'd buy you a sandwich and give you a ride home.
Dressed in tan khakis and a red-and-black woven shirt, he recalls "creating a lot of havoc" in the violent world of Watts' notorious public housing projects.
Big Mike now gets up at 4 a.m. several days a week to make a 95-mile drive from Apple Valley to help students avoid gang violence on the way to and from school.
"So while they're at school, they'll be able to learn and do all they can to get their education," he says.
The program is called Safe Passages and is a part of the nonprofit We Care Outreach Ministries, which he founded with his wife Sauna in 1999.
Big Mike ran the streets of Watts until he turned his life around after a 24-month sentence in jail.
"I got caught up dealing drugs, and then after that I got caught up using drugs," he says. "I ended up doing an attempted robbery, went to jail and it changed my life."
The transformation was sparked by the first Scripture verse his mother sent him while he was locked away.
Matthew 6:33: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Big Mike is now an ordained minister in the Church of God in Christ denomination.
"I just dedicated my life to showing kids the right way and letting them ride on what mistakes I made," he says.
The California Wellness Foundation has honored him with a $25,000 Peace Prize for his efforts.
Big Mike, who makes a living through his towing business, turns inside and walks toward the gym to watch a junior varsity basketball game.
There, he meets with Andre "Low Down" Christian, a boulder of a man with a massive chest and thick arms.
His hair is pulled back in braids. He has a scar on his left cheek. He's been shot 13 times.
A gang intervention specialist, Low Down joins Big Mike on the bleachers.
He says his biggest regret about the gang life was "the hurt I put on other people. I'm glad I lived it out, (so now I can) help others."
After a low-scoring first quarter, Low Down and Big Mike agree to meet at Watts Towers. Big Mike ambles back to the main entrance of the school.
The final bell rings. Students pour out of class. Big Mike stands on East 103rd Street.
"My concern is from here, this way," he says, pointing west to the Jordan Downs housing project. "We got no groups gathering, no one holding steel. Everything's looking good now. We're gonna move up the street."
He climbs into his gray van and turns on some music. Old soul drips out of the speakers. Big Mike likes the Chi-Lites.
On a corner he meets with "Elementary" and "Chilly Will". Big Mike laughs and says everyone has a street name. He can name young people and street veterans alike, as he drives through Watts.
"If you want to be effective in stopping violence, you got to know everybody," Big Mike says.
Elementary and Chilly Will wear fluorescent green vests. They also help kids get home. It's a team effort by those who have seen unspeakable violence during their decades on the block.
Big Mike catches up with a another friend on the corner. They sing a hymn while Elementary talks Watts.
"As far as the projects, it's just everyday people trying to survive," he says. "Good people. Working people. (But) mis-education and economic strangulation are the mother and father of violence."
Big Mike is ready to roll. He wants to check on more volunteers. And the kids.
He drives past San Miguel Elementary School and Markham Middle School. Along the way he honks his horn and waves at passersby: Big Hank. A kid he tells to get back on the sidewalk. An old friend who blew his mind on angel dust.
He stops at Watts Towers. Low Down is there. So is 52-year-old Donny Joubert from the Nickerson Gardens housing project.
"I think the things we accomplished, it just makes the community better," Joubert says.
They're joined by Cynthia "Sista Soulja" Mendenhall. The 50-year-old Crip-turned-peace activist doesn't want to be confused with the rapper of the same name.
"I'm not fiction," she says.
Sista Soulja lost a son to gang violence in 2006. Anthony Owens Jr. was gunned down in the Imperial Courts housing project, where the PJ Crips reign. The 25-year-old man was not a member of the gang.
Sista Soulja speaks of peace in the same way a veteran gangster would talk about his turf.
"You gotta be ready to die for this," she says.
The late afternoon sun falls on Watts Towers. It's cold now. Sista Soulja looks to Big Mike. Tears fill her eyes.
"This ain't got nothing to do with money," she says of Big Mike's award. "You can't put a price on life. He's not just a pastor. He's a brother, a soldier."
Big Mike heads home.
Along the way he gives a little tour of death. A kid shot on a basketball court. Another gunned down near Jordan High. He collects obituaries and recalls funerals. He's lost count.
"Sometimes I wonder is it ever going to stop, is the shooting going to stop, is the killing going to stop," he says. "But I just keep doing what I do."

April 18, 2010
The U.S. Forest Service, Nebraska National Forest, announced their decision concerning the Travel Management Plan for the Bessey Ranger District near Halsey on April 13th. While we expected a considerable amount of trails to be closed, the news is worse than we hoped. 99.9% of all land at the Nebraska National Forest near Halsey will be closed to recreational ATV, dirtbike and UTV riders. 94% of all trails will be closed to ATV, dirtbike and UTV riders. The decision clearly helps to discourage recreational ATV, dirtbike and UTV trail recreation at the Bessey Ranger District near Halsey. The 'official' press release from the Forest Supervisors office in Chadron is at the end of this article.
TRAVEL MANAGEMENT PLAN WEB SITE FOR THE NEBRASKA NATIONAL FOREST (click here)
As endorsed by Nebraska National Forest Supervisor Jane Darnell, a modified version of Alternative 2 was announced. The Modified Alternative 2 offers only 19 miles of recreational ATV and dirtbike trails. From my calculations, only about two or three miles of trails will be open to UTV users.
NOHVA supported the original proposed alternative 2 that offered 27 miles of trails for ATV, dirtbike and UTV riders.
The announcement of the Modified Alternative 2 is a big surprise to our organization. We expected the Forest Service to play fair. Instead they have treated us unfairly and pulled this surprise Modified Alternative 2. The U.S. Forest Service has dealt a major blow to ATV and dirtbike recreation in Nebraska. I think that they will find that this decision will greatly increased their difficulty of managing recreational ATV, dirtbike and UTV enthusiasts.
Under the Modified Alternative 2, only 19 miles of ATV and dirtbike trails will remain open, down from 300 miles. Of the open riding areas, only 18 acres will remain open, down from 90,000. Compared to the original Alternative 2 that NOHVA supported, UTV owners gained a few miles of trails and ATV and dirtbike riders lost about 8 miles for a total of 280 miles of trails closed. The miles of 4x4 trails for use by licensed vehicles have increased dramatically under the modified alternative 2.
ATV and dirtbike riders should be prepared for vigorous enforcement of the new Travel Management rules. Last year, the staff at Bessey issued numerous tickets with stiff fines to ATV and dirtbike riders for relatively minor infractions. With the new Travel Management Plan in effect, ATV and dirtbike riders should be extremely careful and be on their BEST behavior. It's well known that long time U. S. Forest Service staff members and local law enforcement can be cantankerous toward ATV, dirtbike and UTV enthusiasts. With the new Travel Management Plan in effect, riders should expect stepped up intimidation of ATV and dirtbike riders from officials.
As of this writing, our organization is preparing a response to the decision of the new Travel Management Plan. If you would like to become involved in our response, please contact me as soon as possible.
There is some good news. According to the new District Ranger Terry Baker, the proposal to prohibit ATV and dirtbike riders from riding to and from their camp site and trails from the main camp ground and the Whitetail Campground has been put on hold for now. The main camp ground is officially named the Bessey Recreation Complex and is located near state highway 2. The Whitetail Campground is the facility located next to the Dismal River along the south boundary of the Forest.
The Forest Service intends to step up efforts to inform ATV and dirtbike riding campers of the camp ground rules, and we expect the rules to be very strictly enforced. If there is not a very significant response from the ATV and dirtbike riders who use the camp ground this year, then the campground will be closed to all ATV and dirtbike riders.
Of the trails at the
Bessey Ranger District near Halsey, the remaining open trails are:
The Modified Alternative 2 that is now in effect will dramatically impact ATV, dirtbike and UTV recreation at Bessey. The decision by the Forest Service to significantly reduce miles of ATV trails will degrade the user experience. Placing more people on an already over crowded, deteriorating and poorly managed trail system will further compound problems. I know the decision will depress the willingness of our volunteers to help with trails. Even though a proposed EDAWS trail plan was unveiled in 2009 that would add more miles of ATV, dirtbike and UTV trails, the implementation of the plan, in this authors view, is remote at best.
I have been involved with trail planning at the Nebraska National Forest since 1988. With the implementation of the modified Travel Management Plan, I can think of no other time that has looked bleaker for recreational ATV and dirtbike riders at Bessey. During that time, I have been a part of two other ATV and dirtbike trail development plans presented by the Nebraska National Forest. None of them have ever been implemented.
Furthermore, it is logical to assume that these factors will further prohibit any additional trail planning and development:
U.S. Forest Service Press Release:
Forest Supervisor Jane Darnell announced the Record of Decision to
implement a Travel Management Plan for the Nebraska National Forests and
Grasslands today. The plan changes how users access and recreate on the
Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands.

Debt instrument such as a bond, debenture, or promissory note which is issued with a promise of repayment on a certain date at a specified rate of interest.
Use debt security in a sentence
We had a lot of debt security, which was really great for us and allowed us to do a lot of new things.
Federal agents raided the headquarters of Diamond Financial Services for allegedly falsifying documents that overstated the value of its assets leading to the conclusion that its debt security to investors and creditors is at risk of being worth nothing at all.
The debt security was entered into with the intention of being a loan to the company so we felt bad about wanted to cash it out.

Background Many patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who experience full symptomatic remission after antidepressant treatment still have residual depressive symptoms. We describe the types and frequency of residual depressive symptoms and their relationship to subsequent depressive relapse after treatment with citalopram in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial.
Method Participants in primary (n=18) and psychiatric (n=23) practice settings were openly treated with citalopram using measurement-based care for up to 14 weeks and follow-up for up to 1 year. We assessed 943 (32.8% of 2876) participants who met criteria for remission to determine the proportions with individual residual symptoms and any of the nine DSM-IV criterion symptom domains to define a major depressive episode. At each visit, the 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, Self-Report (QIDS-SR16) and the self-report Frequency, Intensity, and Burden of Side Effects Rating (FIBSER) scale were used to assessed depressive symptoms and side-effects respectively.
Results More than 90% of remitters had at least one residual depressive symptom (median=3). The most common were weight increase (71.3%) and mid-nocturnal insomnia (54.9%). The most common residual symptom domains were sleep disturbance (71.7%) and appetite/weight disturbance (35.9%). Those who remitted before 6 weeks had fewer residual symptoms at study exit than did later remitters. Residual sleep disturbance did not predict relapse during follow-up. Having a greater number of residual symptom domains was associated with a higher probability of relapse.
Conclusions Patients with remission of MDD after treatment with citalopram continue to experience selected residual depressive symptoms, which increase the risk of relapse.

The NFL launched a review after a player who attended the February combine in Indianapolis said during a radio interview that he was asked about his sexual orientation, which the league says is against the rules.
"Our review has not established any specific violations, but we have made it clear to our clubs what is acceptable when interviewing potential players and other job candidates," the NFL said in a statement.
While the NFL has completed its review, it could still take action if new information surfaces that establishes a clear violation of the rules.
Colorado tight end Nick Kasa, who did not identify the team or teams involved, said during an interview: "They ask you like, 'Do you have a girlfriend? Are you married? Do you like girls?' Those kinds of things, and you know it was just kind of weird.
"But they would ask you with a straight face and it's a pretty weird experience altogether."

Legislators hear bill about smart meter opt-out
Proposed bill includes no additional fee for choice
A legislative committee held a hearing in Augusta on Tuesday about a bill that would prevent utility companies from charging a fee or a higher rate if a homeowner wants a smart meter removed.
Central Maine Power Company began installing smart meters more than a year ago. If customers do not want wireless meters at their homes, CMP charges customers a $12 monthly fee.
The bill would require a utility company to charge customers a normal rate if they decline a smart meter.
A number of CMP customers voiced concerns about the health and safety risks from the meters. CMP says the meters. which transmit information about power consumption wirelessly from a home to the company, are safe and energy efficient.

Boston College Selects Ex-Gators O.C. as Coach
Published: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 3:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 3:31 a.m.
BOSTON | Steve Addazio says coaching at Boston College is his dream job.
The Connecticut native was hired on Tuesday to replace Frank Spaziani. He takes over a program that finished last in the Atlantic Coast Conference last season.
Addazio was the coach at Temple. He left after two years to return to New England. He also had been an assistant coach at Notre Dame and offensive coordinator at Florida.
Addazio was introduced at a news conference on Wednesday. He wandered around behind the podium, waving his hands around as he spoke. Athletic director Brad Bates said Addazio's enthusiasm was one of the things that helped sell him on the job.
Manziel, Clowney, Sturgis, Sanders Win SEC Awards
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. | Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is the Southeastern Conference offensive player of the year while the Aggies' Kevin Sumlin shared coaching honors.
SEC coaches also named South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney as the top defensive player on Wednesday and awarded Florida kicker Caleb Sturgis and South Carolina return man Ace Sanders co-special teams honors.
Florida's Will Muschamp split the coaching award.
Alabama center Barrett Jones is the top scholar-athlete, and Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy.
Rutgers Elects to Sue Big East Over Exit Fee
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. | Rutgers University is suing the Big East Conference, trying to avoid paying an exit fee.
Rutgers is trying to avoid a $10 million hit for leaving en route to the Big Ten. Big East bylaws state a school must give 27 months' notice and pay a $10 million withdrawal fee.
The suit says the Big East selectively enforced the rules. Rutgers claims some schools did and some did not have to give notice or pay the fee on their way out of the embattled conference.
The conference voted to increase its exit fee from $5 million to $10 million last month.

President Pratibha Devisingh Patil (pictured) will inaugurate the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians today. She will welcome more than 3,000 mathematicians and delegates from all over the world.
Holding the world's biggest mathematical event in Hyderabad, India, is seen as global recognition that the Asian nation has become a key a player in 21st-century mathematics.
Ancient India was a launching pad for ideas in algebra, such as the place-value arithmetical notation and the concept of zero. Two centuries before Newton, mathematicians in Kerala anticipated ideas about calculus. In the 20th century, Indian mathematicians Srinivasa Ramanujan and Narendra Karmarkar are notable for their contributions to the field.
During the 9-day-long congress this year, more than 170 papers will scrutinize more than 20 areas of mathematics, including logic and foundations, algebra, number theory, functional analysis and applications, mathematics education, and the popularization of mathematics.
In addition, the Fields Medals, the Nevanlinna Prize, the Lilavati Award, the Gauss Prize, and the Chern Medal will be awarded.
MAA's Director of Publications and Communications, Ivars Peterson, (aka The Mathematical Tourist) will also be in attendance and speaking on a panel about communicating mathematics to society-at-large.

Dershowitz challenges Carter to debate at Cardozo
"The way human rights should be addressed is based on 'worst, first,' you deal with the most egregious wrongs, the worst kind of abuses committed by governments first," Dershowitz explained. "He's turned everything upside down. Instead of Israel, just look over a little to the south, "Saudi Arabia is the worst human rights violator in the world: sex segregation, gender preference discrimination, religious discrimination," that's where a real human rights activist would focus, said the law professor.
"But Jimmy Carter was bought and paid for by the Saudis. The Carter Center stopped criticizing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when the Saudis started funding it."
So what should be the plan of action with respect to the Cardozo award?
Dershowitz said:
I will come, at my own expense, to debate Jimmy Carter on Carter's own human rights record. If Cardozo will have me, I will come and provide the students, the administration and anyone else that is interested, with a first rate debate about the meaning of human rights and they can decide whether what Jimmy Carter has done, constitutes human rights or human wrongs.
If Carter takes him up on it, he's dumber than I thought.

I am truly delighted to be President of North American Forensic Entomology Association and am looking forward to my tenure with great anticipation. NAFEA and the field of Forensic Entomology have made great progress since 2003 when I joined NAFEA and attended meetings for the first time, and I am very proud to be part of such a dynamic. Clearly the quality of the science presented at meetings, and that published by us in refereed journals has greatly matured in this interval. I believe that the quality of the students we attract and produce has had no small part in this progress. Thus, our science advances rapidly.
With good science progressing well, I think we should work on other areas of our professional life in the next two years, In particular we should (1) clarify our understanding of the meaning of the Daubert Standards to the courts, to our evidence, to ourselves, focusing in particular on our students, (2) we must learn how to be more effective in court, how to defend our opinions, evidence and science, and of course study how to personally survive courtroom combat, (3) discover how to avoid and resolve conflict between colleagues deriving from courtroom warfare and professional competition, and (4) above all foster the development and excellence of our students.
Daubert Standards
We must really understand the Daubert Standards and all their subtitle nuances, how these standards are progressing, and why we all should subscribe to them in our courtroom preparation regardless of the kind of jurisdiction, Fry or Daubert, in which we testify. At the least the Federal Courts and a majority of states now apply at least some version of the Daubert Standards, and if California is any measure, most if not all the rest will shortly convert as well. As a first step in what I hope will become an ongoing process, I have asked Ed Imwinkelried to give the Plenary Talk at our 2015 joint meetings with SWFS. Ed Imwinkelried, Edward L. Barrett, Jr. Professor of Law Emeritus, is one of the chief architects of the original Standards formulated in part in during the case of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals. Ed remains the greatest authority on Daubert, is unquestionably a first order scholar of extraordinary gift, and a delight to hear talk on Daubert. As Daubert is rapidly changing in scope and theory, I additionally propose that we add another talk to our annual updates detailing the changes to admissibility that have occurred in the past year.
Courtroom Combat
I worry that we may not be as effective as we could be in our effort to communicate our science to the court in a manner that facilitates the best possible decisions by the judge and the jury. We must learn how to deport ourselves to assure the survival of the analyses we bring and the opinions we present. All this is seriously compromised by the overwhelmingly threatening environment in which expert testimony occurs. I suggest short term and long term solutions to this particularly vexing problem. Robert Anderson's Court Room Workshop for Wildlife and Entomology people in our joint SWFS-NAFEA 2015 meetings constitutes an excellent start and I exhort all of our membership to attend his workshop. Bob Anderson (SWFS member and Senior Counsel, Environmental Crimes Section Environment and Natural Resources Division, U.S. Department of Justice), one of the most articulate advocates I have met.
I propose that we establish continuing workshop opportunities designed for our younger members on courtroom deportment in the form of a Student Courtroom Colloquium. Briefly, students choosing to participate would be sent redacted case reports and evidence from real but resolved homicide cases, and asked to present a report of their findings and analysis of the entomological evidence. Included would be exact replacements of the insects collected in the original casework. They would acquire the necessary weather and other data for the form of analysis they chose, do the analysis, develop their opinions, write and submit the report to a panel of NAFEA members with experience in casework one month before meetings. They would then participate as an expert witness and defend their analysis and opinions in a Moot Court Event at those meetings. Two students would play opposing expert witness roles, thus pairs of participating students would be assigned (no choice) the same case, one for the defense and one for the prosecution (no choice). The Moot Court would have each of the various court personnel, jurors, bailiffs and etc, played by members not directly participating in the present year. Anyone would be allowed to attend. Students should dress, behave and generally deport themselves in the Moot Court as if they were actually going to court. They should be prepared to state and defend their opinions and report in the standard way that occurs in courtroom combat. Each student will defend their own report regardless of whether the reports are in agreement or not. The "jury" will deliberate in the standard way and decide who has the better argument. There will then be a general round table discussion about other perhaps better approaches. There would be brief discussions presented by older NAFEA members on deportment, the courtroom, responding to questions, the limits of your expertise, potential courtroom traps and etc. There would follow a Critical Incident Debriefing including all the student participants designed to eliminate the animosity that often develops between experts asked to testifying for opposing advocates. That evening we would have a social event for all that would celebrate the effort of each of the participants.
Professional Stress Resolution within NAFEA
This must comprise short and long term solutions to the problems of residual animosity between colleagues following battle in court, animosity arising from professional competition, research and ideological conflict, and the emotionally debilitating effects of traumatic experience during case work investigation. It may be that each of these requires a different approach, conflict resolution on the one hand, critical incident debriefing on the other. All such occurrences detract from the professional collegiality of our organization and directly and negatively impact the progress we can make in our science. Scientific progress proceeds more rapidly when we work together as a cohesive and collaborative whole. Also, friendship, collegiality and jocularity are simply a lot more fun than animosity and enemies. To begin the process of resolving conflicts with in NAFEA we should offer conflict resolution and critical incident debriefing sessions annually for any persons that need this kind of help. I am planning to incorporate a colloquium on both these services in the 2016 meetings.
Enhanced excellence in thesis research by NAFEA students
Herein I propose we hold an annual Thesis Research Colloquium open to any student that wishes to participate. Essentially, students would send formal thesis proposals to a panel of experienced Ph.D. level NAFEA members. If the student has no formal guidance on how to prepare a thesis proposal then we would provide them with that. The proposal would be due a month prior to the meetings, panel members would read and critique these- adding MS Word comments to the text. They would then send these to a moderator who would compile all the comments onto a master copy of the proposal. At the meetings the student would provide a 10-15 minute review and defense of their proposal for the panel using any form of presentation method- PowerPoint for example. Each member of the panel in turn would present their comments and suggestions in an open discussion, using a large screen display of the master copy of the proposal. Modifications to the proposal would be incorporated to the master copy in real time on the screen by the moderator to reflect the suggestions and ideas that emerge from the discussion. A copy of this version of the proposal will be given to the student. Thus we would foster a free exchange of ideas, critique and suggestions to assist the student with the planning of their thesis research. Although this sounds threatening, what I envision is the same sort of quasi-informal panel discussion that occurs at NSF, NIH or NIJ grant proposal review panels. But here, instead of an advocate, the student would defend their own proposal. The intent here is to obviate the general lack of local advisor expertise many students of Forensic Entomology have because there are so few Forensic Entomologists at major universities. This effort is not meant to replace or supplant but to amplify advice and guidance provided by the student's thesis advisors. Indeed, this process also would prepare a student for the proposal review panel responsibilities we all sooner or later encounter in academia.
I encourage all of you to think about these ideas and how they may be modified and implemented. I have written some these out more completely, and if you have an interest please do not hesitate to ask for the more complete version (such as it may be), or to suggest enhancements. As the year progresses I will be attempting to establish committees for these so that we can work on them in a more efficient and democratic way.
I am developing other ideas as well, and anticipate periodically sending out a "Message from the President" regarding these and other developments. As a member of the 2015 Meeting planning committee I exhort you to all attend and take advantage of the workshops. They shall be spectacular!
