The back of the pendant is plain black with a 'made of varnished cardboard' sticker. Your jukebox part of a splendid paper craft collection, designed in the smashing style of the 1950's. The collection is inspired by American ice cream parlours. Your jukebox was infulenced by the amazing designs of Rock-Ola and Seeburg jukeboxes that entertained youngsters after the bowling or before the movies. The necklace is available in four trendy colours: cool green, royal blue and mustard yellow jukeboxes have with a black chain. The beige brown jukebox has a silver plated chain. How the three-dimensional paper sculpture was created: Remember those happy hours you spent as a child with scissors in hand and coloured paper glued to your fingers? That was Jacqueline's starting point for creating this small three-dimensional paper sculpture (shown in the last picture). Today she mainly works with a scalpel and often uses a pair of tweezers to ensure precision when creating her whimsical paper sculptures. "It often takes me quite a while until I'm happy with all the details. Sometimes I really can't say what's wrong I just know it's not quite there yet. Then it's just a case of trying different options." Once Jacqueline is happy with the result we photograph the object and get the image ready for print. All designs are professionally printed. The shapes are laser-cut and varnished by hand. The last step is to affix the chain and sticker and pack your necklace. made from: Varnished cardboard. For long-term enjoyment, please handle with care and keep away from water. The front and back of the pendant can be lightly wiped clean with a damp cloth, but please do not dip into water. The necklace comes with a professionally printed card and packed in a clear (biodigradable) plastic bag. dimensions: The chain is approx. 40cm long, so that it sits a few centimetres below the collarbone.

To finish up our assessment series this week, we are providing you with a fantastic new tool that you can use in your classroom today. Best of all, it's completely aligned with the new PARCC draft writing rubric for grades 4-5. The writing standards and rubrics provide all of us with such a natural way to weave into Common Core as artists because we ask our students to produce compositions based upon the skills and processes we teach. The writing standards showcase this, and the rubric was simple to translate into an Arts Integrated model. Take a look:
And of course, here's the downloadable PDF version of the rubric for you to use!
Finally, we have a major announcement today…
I am putting the finishing touches on our next book for relevant, innovative Arts Integrated practice. This new book will be totally focused on Arts Integration Assessment that is aligned to the Common Core Standards. Today's post is a small "sneak peek" of what will be included in this newest edition of our instructional collection of resources. This book will contain ready-made assessments (in a variety of both formative and summative pieces), explanations for authentically using these assessments and how to align your current assessment practices with the new standards being developed for Common Core practices. I'm so thrilled to be developing this and launching the book in late fall. This is sure to be a big hit given the amount of questions I receive on this and if you're a member of Connectivity, you'll be able to pre-order your copy before anyone else! Looking forward to sharing so many more resources with all of you!

Treasure Island
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Treasure Island Duty Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Right you are," said Silver; "rough and ready. But mark you here, I'm an easy man--I'm quite the gentleman, says you; but this time it's serious. Dooty is dooty, mates. I give my vote--death. When I'm in Parlyment and riding in my coach, I don't want none of these sea-lawyers in the cabin a-coming home, unlooked for, like the devil at prayers. Wait is what I say; but when the time comes, why, let her rip!" (11.31)
Here, Long John Silver is drastically redefining duty. His duty is to his pirate crewmates, which mean that he votes for killing Captain Smollett, Squire Trelawney and the other good guys. The problem with telling people to do their duty as a moral lesson is that we all have different notions of duty. To Long John Silver, apparently killing people for the profit of his pirate friends is a kind of duty.
Quote #5
"Most likely Trelawney's own men," said the doctor; "those he had picked up for himself before he lit on Silver."
"Nay," replied the squire. "Hands was one of mine."
"I did think I could have trusted Hands," added the captain.
"And to think that they're all Englishmen!" broke out the squire. "Sir, I could find it in my heart to blow the ship up." (12.37-40)
Squire Trelawney's patriotism blinds his judgment. When Long John Silver tells Trelawney that he lost his leg in a battle under Admiral Hawke, Trelawney believes him. Here Squire Trelawney is disappointed in the pirates not just because they want to murder him, but because they are all Englishmen. Squire Trelawney's idealism makes him an easy mark for Long John Silver, which is perhaps meant to be a jab against idealism.
Quote #6
"Gray," resumed Mr. Smollett, a little louder, "I am leaving this ship, and I order you to follow your captain. I know you are a good man at bottom, and I dare say not one of the lot of you's as bad as he makes out. I have my watch here in my hand; I give you thirty seconds to join me in." [...]
There was a sudden scuffle, a sound of blows, and out burst Abraham Gray with a knife cut on the side of the cheek, and came running to the captain like a dog to the whistle.
"I'm with you, sir," said he. (16.31-5)
We find this description of Abraham Gray coming to Captain Smollett "like a dog to the whistle" oddly dismissive and jeering. Isn't it a good thing that Abraham Gray is remembering his duty? Is Stevenson making a subtle point that obedience for its own sake is cowardly? Or are we making a mountain out of a molehill with this line?

New Jersey-based software design company, Infragistics, has long recognized the power that user-centered design has had on their core business of providing award-winning software for Fortune 500 clients.
In 2009, Infragistics created Quince, a Silverlight-based pattern library. Quince was conceived from the desire to make formal design patterns more discoverable through a browsable rich interface that now offers over 90+ patterns. But this wasn't an easy thing to do. Programmer-turned-user experience advocate Ambrose Little will discuss:
• Why Infragistics chose to build Quince in Silverlight
• The thinking behind pattern choices and formats
• Recommendations for authoring new patterns
• Insights and rationales that contributed to the design
• Ideas for ongoing improvement
Anyone tasked with designing software interfaces can benefit from greater knowledge and use of patterns. What Ambrose will discuss will especially help people who need to build out their own libraries. Having some experience designing UIs is required; experience with patterns will help, but Ambrose will provide a brief intro for those who are new to the concept.
Questions: If you have questions for Ambrose about this topic, you can submit these to him ahead of time. While we can't promise that Ambrose will answer each and every question with an extended answer, your questions will provide Ambrose with insights into our audience's interests.
Ambrose Little has been making software professionally for over a decade, initially as a developer, then as a software architect. In the last several years he has made the conversion from development to leading the user experience. Ambrose has authored multiple technical articles, spoken at numerous technical events, co-authored four books, and been honored by Microsoft for seven years as an MVP (Most Valued Professional) in ASP.NET, Solutions Architecture, and most recently, Silverlight.
Infragistics will be raffling a limited number of licensed versions of their professional version, Quince Pro, to members of our audience. Bring your business card to be included in the raffle, and good luck!

By Nancy Rasmussen, Fort Rucker Public AffairsApril 12, 2012
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (April 12, 2012) -- Miss Wiregrass Area Katie Andrews joins Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Fort Rucker community members in celebrating the Month of the Military Child April 20 at the main exchange mall area when she, along with post mothers and daughters, will model spring fashions for the lunchtime crowd beginning at 11 a.m.
Andrews will also sing several selections from her repertoire to promote the upcoming Salute to the Troops performance scheduled for May 4 at 3 p.m. at the post theater.
Salute to the Troops is a fast-paced talent revue by area Miss Alabama contenders. For the third consecutive year, Fort Rucker Soldiers and Family members are invited to let their hair down for a 60-minute fest of singing, dancing and colorful entertainment in honor of their service to the nation.
To give prospective theater-goers an idea of what to expect, the young ladies will perform a preview of the show from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 4 at the main exchange mall.
"Both the April 20 fashion show and performance with Katie, and the May 4 preview with the entire Salute to the Troops cast, are wonderful opportunities for Fort Rucker Soldiers and their Families to meet these fine young ladies and maybe even get a photo or autograph," said Don Walter Jr., AAFES store manager.
For more information on the Salute to the Troops promotions and performances, call Nancy Rasmussen at 255-2474.

Manager Craig Brown felt his Aberdeen side were worthy winners after they ended Motherwell's interest in the William Hill Scottish Cup for a second successive season.
Rory Fallon, scorer of both goals in the Scottish Cup quarter-final win at Fir Park last season, netted the 51st-minute opener and Joe Shaughnessy tapped in 10 minutes later, as the Dons won the fourth-round replay 2-1 to set up a fifth-round clash with Hibernian at Easter Road.
Motherwell, the 2011 runners-up, had lost just once in 13 previous games against Aberdeen, but Brown said: "We've now managed to turn it round against Motherwell. That's four games and it's two wins and two draws for us."
He added: "Between the first and the second goal we had three really good chances and (Motherwell goalkeeper Darren) Randolph had two saves in the game which were world class."
Hibs beat the Dons in last season's semi-final, but Brown's men will be hoping to repeat last month's 1-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League at Easter Road to progress.
"It's another testing fixture. We've got to rise to the occasion again," Brown said. "We've done very, very well away from home, so an away game is not a disadvantage to us."
The absence of captain Russell Anderson (back) forced a defensive reshuffle for the Dons, but youngsters Clark Robertson and Shaughnessy, who signed two-year contract extension last week, stood up to the challenge, while Andrew Considine and Mark Reynolds played well.
Brown added: "We handled the situation exceptionally well, particularly the young boys out there. I thought they were superb. To come here without Russell and to get a victory against Motherwell is very good. I rate Motherwell highly. I rate (Motherwell manager) Stuart McCall and I think they have a superb team."
Michael Hidgon's stoppage-time penalty was merely a consolation for the hosts, who might have had a spot-kick in the first half. Jamie Murphy moved into the area and a clumsy Shaughnessy stumbled into his back, but no penalty was awarded.
McCall, though, had no complaints. He said: "I'm disappointed to be out of the cup. It wasn't to be. Second half they were better, there's no doubt about that. We couldn't find a way past them. I thought Reynolds was outstanding at centre back for them."

2013 Santa Fe: Re-engineered Hyundai crossover is an oversized achiever
In the hot-selling segment of compact crossovers, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is an oversized overachiever.
Hyundai redesigned and refocused its 2013 Santa Fe crossover and now offers it in two sizes: a five-passenger Sport and the long-wheelbase Santa Fe with seats for six or seven.
The Sport is sold in front- or all-wheel drive with a six-speed automatic transmission and a choice of two four-cylinder engines. The big Santa Fe is 8.5 inches longer than the Sport and uses a 290-horsepower, 3.3-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic transmission.
The Sport competes with such mainstream small crossovers as the Chevy Equinox, Ford Edge, Honda CR-V, Nissan Murano and Toyota RAV4.
At 143 cubic feet, Hyundai claims the largest interior volume of its main competitors. That translates to generous hip room, more back seat legroom and versatile cargo capacity.
Yet pricing is comparable to the best in the bunch.
Sport pricing starts at $25,275, or add $1,750 for all-wheel drive.
The more powerful Sport 2.0T – turbocharged – has starting prices that range from $28,525 to $30,275 with leather and AWD. Standard equipment includes keyless locking and push-button start, heated front seats and a rearview camera. My iPhone easily connected with the Bluetooth system. The AWD system has a locking differential for enhanced traction in sand, mud or snow.
The Sport also flirts with some luxury-class options. Among them are a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats and rear side window sunshades.
Also unique is the three-mode driver selectable steering for Normal, Comfort or Sport. I liked the two-finger ease of "comfort."
Safety features include seven air bags (including driver's knee bag), stability and traction controls, ABS, brake assist, brake-force distribution.
Those who tow a light trailer will want the 264-horsepower turbocharged engine. The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder has 190-horsepower. The turbocharged engine has 88 foot-pounds more torque than the base engine. And that torque – the pulling power – comes on at a low 1,750 to 3,000 rpm.
That engine gets the Sport moving quickly and holds the power well into highway cruising range. There seemed little need for a V-6 in this model.
Both engines use direct injection, which is Hyundai's secret sauce to maximize fuel economy. The standard engine has EPA estimated fuel economy ratings of 21 mpg city, 29 highway and 24 mpg combined. The high-output 2.0T is rated 20/27/23 mpg. Both engines use 87 octane fuel.
Helping fuel economy are such aerodynamic features as a bumper lip, wheel deflector, rear spoiler and underbody covers at the front.
The Sport is 266 pounds lighter than its predecessor and more rigid, which helps the suspension work better for a quieter and smoother ride. Lighter is better for braking, too. The four-wheel discs have 12.6-inch rotors front and 11.9-inch at the rear.
The Sport's broad-shouldered cabin is well soundproofed with supportive seats in both rows. There is lots of plastic but it is durable and creatively disguised with textures and contrasting hues. Front headroom is tall at 39.6 inches or 38.2 with the sunroof.
Second-row legroom is huge at 39.4 and headroom is still accommodating at 39.1 inches.
The upswept rear pillars look to be blind spots. But with the side mirrors correctly adjusted and the wide view of the optional rearview camera, changing lanes and backing up are not compromised.
The utility inside is quite flexible. Cargo space is a generous 35.4 cubic feet behind the second row that nearly doubles with the seats folded. The seats fold nearly flat and the seatbacks have a few inches of recline.
Storage spaces are plentiful, including a handy e-bin just ahead of the shift console. It houses two 12-volt plugs and auxiliary and USB ports with enough space to place a couple of phones.
The raised back seat has good foot room under the front seats and a flat floor for more comfortable three-across seating.
The Santa Fe is versatile for families and ideal for activating an active lifestyle. A little bit bigger is a little bit better for this crossover.

The oldest operational Chinese launch vehicle is the CZ-2C which debuted in 1975 as the carrier of the FSW-class of recoverable low altitude satellites. Averaging one mission per year for the past decade, the CZ-2C has a high reported reliability and a payload capacity of 2.8 metric tons to LEO. The CZ-2C is derived from the CSS-4 ballistic missile and consists of two stages burning UDMH and nitrogen tetroxide.
The single CZ-2C mission during 1993-1994 was launched on 8 October 1993 with a FSW-1 Earth observation spacecraft. Later in the decade, the CZ-2C may be mated with a small, solid-propellant perigee kick-stage to provide the vehicle with a modest GTO capability (References 158-166).
Iridium was the anchor customer for the CZ-2C/SD, with two dummy payloads launched from the Taiyuan launch center on 01 September 1997, and two operational spacecraft on 08 December 1997. Additional pairs of Iridium spacecraft were launched in March and May 1998.

ROCKPORT The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's golf team climbed three spots to place fifth with a three-round mark of 947 in the Stripes Islander Classic at Rockport Country Club.
UTSA claimed its first-ever tournament title closing the 54-hole event with a 302, which was the lowest round by any team in the event and had a combined three-round score of 920 (311-307-302). Led by medalist Shelly Martinez, the Roadrunners finished 11 strokes ahead of Southland Conference rival and second-place finisher Lamar, who had a 931 (313-304-314). North Texas was third with a 936 (312-317-307), while Drake was fourth at 940 (315-314-311). A&M-Corpus Christi was seven strokes behind with a 947 (315-316-316) to place fifth ahead of Sam Houston State, Illinois, Texas-Pan American, McNeese State, and Wichita State.
Individually, the Islanders were led by Ryann White who was 17th at 235 (75-78-82). Ashley Watkins finished two shots back in a tie for 24th with a 237 (77-81-79). Ashley Olynick (81-77-84) and Courtney Peeler (82-83-77) had matching 242s, while Melissa Fahey had a 243. Peeler had the best round of the day for the Islanders in the final 18 with a 77, while Fahey had a 78 and Ashley Watkins a 79.
"We had some bright spots," said "We had a freshman carry the team on the first day. Today, Melissa started poorly but battled back to turn in a solid round and Ashley Watkins gutted out a round despite being ill. We should have been in contention, but with the excitement of hosting our own tournament we threw too many shots away. We will learn from this and look forward to our next tournament at Baylor."
The Islanders return to action March 16-17 at the Baylor Spring Invitational.

Ode on a Grecian Urn
by John Keats
Ode on a Grecian Urn Introduction
In A Nutshell
John Keats practically defines the term "Romantic." Not just in the literary sense, referring to a group of English writers working in the first half of the 19th century, but also in the more modern sense of a guy whose life is filled with drama and passion. He was raised in a middle-class family, unlike many of the more aristocratic Romantics such as William Wordsworth, and critics mocked him as a small town boy and an upstart. His first poems were either made fun of or ignored, and he never succeeded in becoming famous or respected during his short life. Keats died of tuberculosis at the age of 25, shortly after the publication of his last book of poems, which included the "Ode on a Grecian Urn."
Based on the quality of these poems, written at so young an age, it's awe-inspiring to think of what kind of writer Keats could have become had he survived as long as his peers. It's not too much of a stretch to imagine that he could have been another Shakespeare. But his early death has only increased the myth and aura of the Romantic Keats.
Keats wrote five odes, and all of them are shockingly good. These are the kinds of poems that literary critics die for, and that send later writers into bouts of envy. Of the five odes, "Grecian Urn," with its immortal and mysterious final lines, is the most well known. The "ode" is an Ancient Greek form of poetry that is marked by its seriousness and technical difficulty. They are usually very thoughtful works that try to praise and elevate their subject. Keats's odes are considered the best in the English language, and they are certainly the most famous. Anyone who has even a passing interest in poetry should read them, and re-read them. To a great extent, they have defined what modern lyric poetry is.
"Ode on a Grecian Urn" was written in 1819, the year in which Keats contracted tuberculosis. He told his friends that he felt like a living ghost, and it's not surprising that the speaker of the poem should be so obsessed with the idea of immortality.
The poem consists of a person talking to a kind of fancy Greek pot known as an "urn" that was made of marble. Keats would have been able to see many urns from Ancient Greece at the British Museum, the world's biggest archeological treasure-trove. (The northern Europeans plundered the Greeks' ancient artifacts, and some might joke that now the Greeks are taking revenge by blowing up the European economy…) Urns are known not only for their sleek, beautiful shape but also for the quality of the pictures that were often painted on their sides. Most of the poem centers on the story told in the images carved on the side of one particular urn. But this isn't some mellow reflection on a pot: it's a wild rollercoaster of a poem covering BIG subjects like sex, love, nature, and death.
Why Should I Care?
Back in the 19th century, the first readers of John Keats's poetry were like, "Keats, man, this stinks." They might also have thrown in some slander about his middle-class origins. Nowadays, people are more likely to have the opposite reaction and say, "Wow, this is the most amazing poem I've ever read!"
How could a single work provoke both disdain and ecstatic praise? We need a modern equivalent to understand the phenomenon. So, we're going to compare the publication of Keats's first book of poems, which included this ode, to the time when Bob Dylan started playing "Like a Rolling Stone" on an electric guitar. If you don't know the back-story, Dylan started his career playing folk music and protest songs on an acoustic guitar at small festivals. Sometime around the middle of the 1960s, he began writing songs for a full band and electric guitar, which many of his fans considered high treason. He'd start out his concerts playing his old stuff, the quiet folk songs, and halfway through he'd plug in his electric guitar, turn the volume way up, and basically blow people's ears off. Subtle? No. Historic? Definitely.
The Romantic poets made a similar fuss back in the 19th century. Before they came along, most English poets were writing quiet, polite poems with simple rhyme schemes about old-fashioned subjects like Ancient Greece and Rome. Then the first Romantic poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge came along and published poems in everyday language about dramatic subjects like shipwrecks and the plight of rural farmers. Returning to our comparison, this was like the invention of rhythm and blues. But it didn't stop there.
The second generation of Romantics, including Keats, came along next, and they were like, "Guys, this is really good, but it's not radical enough. We need to turn the volume way up." So Keats wrote poems like this ode, which takes a polite subject – a study of a Greek pot – and turns it into a screeching, over-the-top celebration of music, sex, and youth. The form is incredibly dense and complicated, and the language practically chokes you with complex metaphors, bizarre repetitions, and tortured emotion. Even the first generation of Romantics had to plug its collective ears and say, "For heaven's sake, turn it down!" But it was too late. After the "Ode on a Grecian Urn," poetry was never the same, just like rock and roll was never the same after "Like a Rolling Stone." Pandora's Box had been opened. Unlike Dylan, however, Keats didn't live to see his poems become famous and critically acclaimed. He died when most people still thought he was a crummy poet.

Middle English loos 'free from bonds', from Old Norse lauss, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch and German los.
The medieval word loose is related to Old English lose and loss, and also to the ending -less, signifying 'without'. The sense 'immoral, promiscuous' dates from around 1470 from the original sense 'free from bonds'. The term a loose cannon sounds as if it should be centuries old, perhaps from the days of warships in Napoleonic battles. In fact, the first recorded uses are from the late 19th century, and the phrase only really gained currency in the 1970s. That said, it does come from the idea that a cannon which has broken loose from its mounting would be a particularly dangerous hazard on any ship, but especially a wooden one. See also fast

Hip Bookstore Owner Remakes Mayor's Office
Seoul's new mayor, Park Won-soon, worked for two days in his office and decided it was too corporate-looking for him. So he called Yoon Sung-geun, the owner of a used bookstore that feels more like a library, and asked him to do an extreme makeover.
Mr. Yoon went to work on Mr. Park's office this weekend and is likely to spend most of this week giving it an overhaul.
In an interview, Mr. Yoon said he wanted to make the office into an "open and lively space that fits in well with Mr. Park."
"Mayor Park loves books and has read many books," Mr. Yoon said. "He's changing the office so that he can get advice and ideas from his books."
The mayor told Mr. Yoon that he couldn't get good ideas in a space that looked designed for a business executive, Mr. Yoon said. "I will make his office more open and well-matched with him," Mr. Yoon said.
Mr. Yoon's bookstore, called Used Bookstore in Wonderland, is a homey shop in northeastern Seoul with books displayed on several levels and spaces to sit and relax by yourself or with a friend. Mr. Park first stopped by the bookstore in 2008 and visited frequently since.
Mr. Park's decision to turn his office into something akin to a professor's den is in keeping with his image as a both a simple man and thinker about the big directional changes Seoul and South Korea need to make. Mr. Park, an independent elected on Oct. 26, ended his second week on the job last week by announcing a $270 million boost to the city's welfare programs.
Mr. Park told Mr. Yoon to use "recycled" furniture, or furniture from elsewhere in the city's inventory rather than buy new.
As well, Mr. Yoon said he's planning to make everything in the mayor's office easy to move to the new City Hall building, a giant glass and steel structure that has a bulbous top that looks like a wave about to crash down on the former building, which was from the Japanese colonial era.
"I think the new City Hall is a very modern building and its interior may be, too. I think doesn't fit well with Mr. Park's style," Mr. Yoon said. "Personally, I don't like the new building very much."
On that, Mr. Yoon is hardly alone.

The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The expanded Panama Canal locks, which just opened June 26 to handle vessels up to 14,000 TEUs, are expected to reshape U.S. East Coast port operations.
Ocean carriers MOL, NYK and "K" Line all reported losses in their container segments and lower revenues year-over-year for the first fiscal quarter, which ended June 30.
Ocean carrier Hyundai Merchant Marine joining the 2M Alliance - comprised of Maersk Line and MSC - has fueled speculation about Maersk's ultimate motives, but the short term impact is a larger share on the transpacific trade, especially from Korea.

New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
One of the things I wanted to do with A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE was to make it a little more "real" than most high fantasy. I drew much of my inspiration from history and historical fiction, and immersed myself in the Middle Ages before I began writing. Patriarchy was as much as part of medieval society as feudalism, faith, or swords.
I have created other fictional worlds that are more sexually egalitarian -- try my novel WINDHAVEN, written with Lisa Tuttle.
With ICE AND FIRE, however, I preferred to stay closer to my historical models.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

LOS ANGELES - In a sweeping deal to end years of controversy, the J. Paul Getty Museum agreed Wednesday to return to Italy 40 antiquities from its collection, including several masterpieces and its prized fifth-century B.C. statue of the goddess Aphrodite.
The draft agreement, reached over an exchange of faxes Tuesday, includes broader cultural cooperation and loans. It is expected to be finalized in the coming days. With the deal, the Getty will avoid a threatened cultural embargo due to be imposed Wednesday and will settle its long-standing dispute with Italy over the purchase of antiquities illegally excavated and smuggled out of the country.
The agreement marks the most significant victory yet for Italy's decade-long campaign to repatriate artifacts stolen and bought by American museums. Earlier agreements with New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and Boston Museum of Fine Arts included fewer important objects than the deal with the Getty, which from the beginning has been the most deeply implicated in Italy's investigation.
Neither party would release a list of the 40 objects being returned, but the Getty already had offered the return of 26 items, including 10 objects it considers masterpieces of the collection. Among them are a statue of the god Apollo, a sculpture of griffins attacking a fallen doe and several Greek vases.
The return of the objects will strike a serious blow to the Getty's antiquities collection, one of the country's best and the focus of the newly renovated Getty Villa.
"I think there's sadness, obviously, over the fact that many of the beautiful objects are going to be leaving the Getty Villa," Getty spokesman Ron Hartwig said. "But there's satisfaction that the issue has been resolved in a way that leads to a renewed collaboration with Italy. It does signal a finish of a period of trouble."
Not covered by the agreement is the "Getty bronze," a fourth-century statue of an athlete, whose fate had been a sticking point in the negotiations. Both parties agreed to postpone discussion about the statue until a new criminal investigation of it is complete.
Also unaddressed is the fate of Marion True, the Getty's former antiquities curator who is on trial in Rome facing charges of trafficking in looted art. For years, the Getty resisted returning the contested objects to Italy for fear it would hurt True's defense. She recommended the purchase of 10 of the 26 objects previously offered by the Getty, and her pursuit of the Aphrodite statue has been a major focus of her trial.
"Marion's situation is tragic," Hartwig said. "We have, however, tried throughout this process to keep the two issues separate and focus on resolving the claims for the objects with Italy with the great hope that it would have a positive impact on Marion's situation."
Among the details yet to be determined is the precise date when the objects will be leaving for Italy. Some items might leave as early as the fall; the statue of Aphrodite, the most prominent of all and a cornerstone of the Getty's collection, will stay until December 2010.

Water is slowly being restored to residents in northern Choctaw County, Ala., after a tank malfunction late last week. A pump on the system's only well stopped working and later a leak was discovered.
But officials say residents should continue boiling their water until further notice. Newscenter 11 talked with some people who have been without water for days.
Customers say their biggest complaint is the lack of communication coming from the North Choctaw Water Authority.
"I think in the future, if it's going to go off, allow people to know by sending it to WTOK, and then everybody else can pass the word around," said Carrie Johnson, North Choctaw Water Authority customer. "We need to be notified."
"I apologize if they felt that way," said Rita Woods, president of North Choctaw Water Authority. "But at the time, our main priority was to try to get the system back up and running, to furnish them with water."
And water authority officials are asking customers to avoid non-essential use of water, such as washing cars or laundry, until the system is completely back to normal.

I am a Muslim Iraqi man living in Dallas, a combat veteran who served alongside the U.S. Armed Forces from 2003 through December 2007. My family and I fled our birth country because this pursuit of freedom brought assassination attempts against us. We risked our lives in part because we love America for the principles upon which it was founded — and for the way it maintains those principles today.
I knew I would join the Americans from the first rumors I heard that they would attack Saddam Hussein's regime. It was not only because of the injustice and oppression my family and I had faced, although growing up I had family members disappear. It was not only because it was an opportunity to contribute constructively to the future of Iraq, although I had studied and believe strongly in democracy. Ultimately, it was because when the first U.S. troops landed and began patrolling the streets, we became friends.
The first time I encountered U.S. soldiers, only a few days into the war, we spoke about music and girls. They liked Metallica, and so did I. Over the next few weeks, we continued to meet up, swapping music and stories. It wasn't long before I was offered a position as a military combat translator. Those men who had become my friends were now my fellow soldiers.
There are many of us Iraqis who served, and many who died alongside the U.S. military. A large number of us now live in Dallas, and all across the United States, because we would face death back in Iraq. Dallas is a favored location because of its strong job market and because many of the American soldiers with whom we served are stationed not far away, at Fort Hood.
All of us have made great sacrifices in the pursuit of freedom, losing family members and enduring torture.
I have the security of knowing that, as a resident of Dallas, I don't have to worry that the government will make our family members "disappear" or that terrorists will murder us. We do not have to stay in hiding. We can read what we please, and we can talk publicly about politics, including our disagreements with current leaders.
We take none of this for granted.
I am fortunate to have found a job. Though we have bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as distinguished work experience, many of us Iraqis have a hard time finding work and feeding our families. Adjusting can be hard. We are sometimes called racially derogatory names. I prefer these names to assassination attempts and government oppression — even when I am asked, "How many Americans have you killed?"
I do not respond by telling the taunters how many American lives I actually saved serving in combat — it's not the point. I am grateful for the freedom of speech, for the freedom to write this, even for their freedom to assault me with words. While I am deeply troubled by the racism that I occasionally encounter here, I love my life in Dallas and am proud to have fought alongside Americans.
I fought on the side of freedom, though from the time I began serving with the U.S. military until I left Iraq, my wife and child had to go into hiding — virtual prisoners as the result of my choice. I was fighting for freedom, yet they were not free even to leave our small house.
That's why one of my first and most memorable experiences of American freedom was at NorthPark Center: My 6-year-old son began running through the mall — like any child would do, weaving in and out of the shoppers. He ran and ran in the cool air, and I suddenly realized I hadn't seen him run in years. In this moment, seeing my son play freely, I felt truly free.
Dallas resident Omar Captain is an Iraq combat veteran and a member of Refugee Writers. He may be contacted through email@example.com.

I had a similar problem with package pdns-recursor during the upgrade to
'error code (1)' usually means that dpkg was unable to stop the program.
In my case, starting the program first allowed the installation to work.
So, maybe something like this in a console session (untested):
> sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client start
> sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/openafs-client*.deb
Anyway, something similar was required during my upgrade.
