Drawing on traditions of Mask Performance, Clown, and Commedia dell'Arte, her work integrates circus arts with physical acting to create stories, text, and characters which explore the rich interplay of imagination between air and ground.

On the eve of Don Williamson's last day as mayor, I have a confession.
I'm gonna miss him.
From that day way back in 2003 when the Flint Police Officers Association announced it was backing an ex-felon for mayor, I knew the Don Years would be interesting.
I had no idea how interesting.
Almost from the start, it was clear he would leave an indelible mark on the Flint Police Department.
There was the time in 2004 when Williamson ordered officers to detain a Flint Journal carrier for daring to deliver newspapers at City Hall. The city eventually coughed up $150,000 to settle the case after the carrier sued.
And I'm pretty sure that temporary mayor Michael Brown has no plans to show up at crime scenes in a Buick with the words "police" on it, a la Williamson.
But there was more.
Williamson's flair for the dramatic thrived when it came to public safety:
• He had three different police chiefs in the span of a month.
• He announced that the Flint City Jail would be open "forever" -- then closed it eight months later.
• He claimed that one of his choices for fire chief was "one billion ... maybe two billion" times better than his predecessor.
• He asked Sheriff Robert J. Pickell to keep five cells reserved at the county jail for city council members.
• In 2004, he declared that Halloween would be celebrated a day early.
• He offered three grand from his own pocket to anyone who turned in a killer and declared war on Flint criminals.
• He laid off the city's four police dogs, leaving the biggest city in the county without a single K-9 unit.
• He responded to illegal drag-racing complaints by creating a paved drag strip on a city street that police said was subsequently used for illegal drag-racing.
• And he created his own police department within a police department, handpicking its five members and bypassing promotion rules by making up his own ranks for his new crew.
His harshest critics maintain that he set the department back years, but it can't be overlooked that Williamson remained popular with plenty of residents who welcomed his unorthodox approaches to running a police department.
I'll leave it to historians to decide Williamson's lasting effect on the city.
But one thing is for sure.
The state police post in Flint better get ready for a bumpy ride if Williamson gets elected governor.

Project Peace, a ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis, is inviting the public to attend the first Tiffin Peace Fair noon-4 p.m. June 23 outdoors along Frost Parkway in Tiffin. An Evening of Peace, featuring Joanne Tawfilis, UNESCO commissioner, is to take place at 7 p.m. in St. Francis Chapel on the St. Francis Community campus in Tiffin.
Sister Paulette Schroeder, founder of Project Peace, is expecting 15 or 16 festival booths, including an olive wood carver from Akron, ceramic tiles and origami. Participants can place ribbons on a large paper mache dove as a pledge to be proactive for peace.
Other booths are to focus on yoga, tai chi and health-related topics.
Displays and information on human trafficking, Guantanamo, Pax Christi, the Peace Project and Vote to Amend also are to be available. St. John's UCC is to set up a table of fair trade merchandise. Calvert students are to present an anti-bullying project. At an environmental booth, Jim Bailey is to illustrate the environmental impact of resource usage in the United States.
"The kids from the charter school (Bridges Academy) are doing graphs with 100 jelly beans to show where the money in the United States goes. They'll let people have a chance to see where they think it goes and then show the real chart," Schroeder said. "They also made a huge, big mandala of hands; every hand in the school."
The parade is step off at 1 p.m. to begin the festivities. Schroeder said Tiffin Middle School also made a mandala to carry in the parade. Children age 8 and up are invited to decorate their bicycles for a contest and ride in the parade. Judges at the Knights of Columbus on East Perry Street will choose the winners. There is no entry fee. Bicycles and other parade participants can register the day of the parade or in advance by calling (419) 447-0435, ext. 136.
"Everybody is invited to be in the parade. We will line up at the old train depot at noon, and the mayor will head the parade," Schroeder said.
The route is a .6 mile circle along Frost Parkway, past the K of C, to Clay Street and back to Frost Parkway. A wagon is to be available for people who cannot walk the entire route but want to take part. Lions Club and Rotary Club are expected to be represented. Pax Christi and a Quaker contingent are to participate. The sisters will have signs available for people to carry, or marchers can make their own. Schroeder said negative political messages have no place at the event.
"This is all meant to encourage, affirm, empower people," she said.
The festival activities are to include a magic presentation by Rodney Biggert, music by Twisted Strands and Brad Kepler, children's games, crafts from the Middle East, food and lemonade. A bouquet and garden stone are to be raffled off. Twenty international murals from the Art Miles Mural Project are to be on display. People also can create their own designs on a 100-foot community mural, using acrylic paint. Schroeder is hoping to inspire every person attending to explore their inner power and decide on their own ways to promote peace. It may require curbing one's language, repairing broken relationships, avoiding gossip, reporting unlawful behavior and obeying community codes
Schroeder said people may unconsciously form elitist attitudes and judge those who have different preferences than their own. Adopting more tolerant thought patterns is one way to promote peace, she believes. Because the media tend to focus on scandals, disasters and crime, readers may need to seek out more positive stories for motivation and inspiration.
"We're trying to help people to not back away from peace making but to be part of the solution to end the violence around us. If it's not happening so much in Tiffin, thanks be to God, we can be a proactive people and show other places how to build harmony, good relationships and cooperation within our town," Schroeder said.
In the evening, Joanne Tawfilis is to give a program at 7 p.m. in the St. Francis Convent chapel.

But one of the things people find most interesting is how we are bootstrapped.
The short version: We built a simple product that was meant to be sold right from the get-go.

You should consider the following points before engaging in a day-trading strategy. For purposes of this notice, a "day-trading strategy" means an overall trading strategy characterized by the regular transmission by a customer of intra-day orders to effect both purchase and sale transactions in the same security or securities.
Day trading generally is not appropriate for someone of limited resources and limited investment or trading experience and low risk tolerance. You should be prepared to lose all of the funds that you use for day trading. In particular, you should not fund day-trading activities with retirement savings, student loans, second mortgages, emergency funds, funds set aside for purposes such as education or home ownership, or funds required to meet your living expenses.
You should be wary of advertisements or other statements that emphasize the potential for large profits in day trading. Day trading can also lead to large and immediate financial losses.
Day trading requires in-depth knowledge of the securities markets and trading techniques and strategies. In attempting to profit through day trading, you must compete with other professional, licensed traders employed by securities firms. You should have appropriate experience before engaging in day trading.
You should be familiar with a securities firm's business practices, including the operation of the firm's order execution systems and procedures. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position quickly at a reasonable price. This can occur, for example, when the market for a stock suddenly drops, or if trading is halted due to recent news events or unusual trading activity. The more volatile a stock is, the greater the likelihood that problems may be encountered in executing a transaction. In addition to normal market risks, you may experience losses due to system failures.
Day trading involves aggressive trading, and generally you will pay commissions on each trade. The total daily trading fees that you pay on your trades will add to your losses or significantly reduce your earnings.
When you day trade with funds borrowed from a firm or someone else, you can lose more than the funds you originally placed at risk. A decline in the value of the securities that are purchased may require you to provide additional funds to the firm to avoid the forced sale of those securities or other securities in your account. Short selling as part of your day-trading strategy also may lead to extraordinary loses, because you may have to purchase a stock at a very high price in order to cover a short position.
There are special risks associated with uncovered option writing that expose the investor to potentially significant losses. The writer of an uncovered call may incur large losses if the value of the underlying security exceeds the exercise price; and the writer of an uncovered put may incur large losses if the value of the underlying security declines below the exercise price. Uncovered option writing is not suitable for everyone. The strategy is only for the knowledgeable investor who understands the risks, has the financial capacity and willingness to incur potentially substantial losses, and has sufficient liquid assets to meet applicable margin requirements.Proprietary traders may be required to make initial capital contributions to registered broker dealers. There is no guarantee that the trader will be successful and these capital contributions may be lost.
Proprietary traders are not customarily paid any salaried compensation. Instead, traders are entitled to distributions based upon profits from their trading – pursuant to their Class C interests in the firm.

Liberty Mines, a Toronto-based mid-tier nickel miner, announced Dec. 31 it was extending the maturity date for two loan and restructuring agreements signed with Jien International Investment Ltd. to March 14, 2014.
"We are very pleased with Jien's continued support and commitment to Liberty," said Chris Stewart, president and CEO of Liberty Mines, in a statement. "Extending the terms of our financing agreements is an important step towards ensuring our long-term viability, particularly with the recovery of nickel prices expected in the near term."

Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward Creative Strategist, has a UKwebsiteKotakuabout the map design ofModern Warfarethreechatted.According to the maps in BowlingModern Warfare threemoreof the firstModern Warfare-oriented part, as inModern Warfare 2.Sunhad been inMW2to put on excessive vertical combat, each map had tohave several levels.So we wanted toMW3little more cautious and avoidcontact higher levels only where it actually makes sense.
Further, they intend to reduce thefocus on things like air support, and Perks Killstreaks something toget back the feel ofCall of Duty 4to be able to capture.Of thefast-infantry combat with "Gun-on-gun gameplay", it hadbeen inWorld at War 2too much away.Also, place great value on thatso-called hotspots, so places that are very popular with campers orsnipers, no longer appear as often.If the player runs over a map orsneaking around a corner, he should never have to worry about morethan five of these hotspots thoughts.

Firstly, I would like to thank my watchers and all that comment and fave my work for their support. Thank you so much, It means a lot
Hey ^^.
I am a Veterinary medicine student from Romania. I like what I study, but I also like to try new stuff. So I tried writing stories, drawing, making anime music videos (AMV) and photography. The last 3 I do a bit more often, my story writing time being a bit short.
I'm a total Japan and Korea addict (anime, manga, K-drama, K-variety, music from both countries), and also quite a gamer (can't live without those, Devil May Cry FTW!!!)
I'm just assuming I know how to take pics. In truth, I don't, I just photograph what I feel like would make a good pic. I have no idea of technical stuff, but I promise I will try to learn. But I still hope you enjoy my fooling around, called "art".
If you ever feel curious about my AMV's, you can check them out here ^_^
I'm always open to talk and i would appreciate advice regarding drawings, photos and stories (basically anything I upload) anytime.
It's the first time I post my work anywhere so i'm looking forward to your opinion on it.
I also LOVE to read books. Here is my Goodreads acc in case you are also interested in books
Favourite genre of music: Rock on baby!
MP3 player of choice: Sony NWZ-E463
Wallpaper of choice: Anything anime / game related, or Japan
Favourite cartoon character: Yuu Kanda (D.Gray-man), Rokudo Mukuro (Katakyou Hitman Reborn) and Kise Ryouta (Kuroko no Basuke) (and a lot more but for now i stick to them)
Personal Quote: Before you reproach someone something, make sure you're not doing the exact something yourself

This is an excerpt by Daily News staff writer David Murphy, from the paper's Phillies blog, www.philly.com/HighCheese.
THE EARLY part of the baseball season presents a challenge when it comes to evaluating the performance of a veteran who is on the downslope of his career.
When a player is in his prime, an early-season slump is usually just that: a slump, a dry spell, a random dip in production that is destined to even out over the course of a 162-game season. It's why members of the Phillies' clubhouse would get that exasperated look on their faces in 2008 and 2009 when they fielded questions about their slow start. Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino - these guys were going to hit at some point.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) If your employees are more likely to take a Facebook
Many small businesses view social media as a necessity more than a distraction in 2009, just 14% of companies maintained a brand presence on Facebook, but today, 61% of companies have a professional Facebook page where they interact with customers, relay news or announce deals and discounts, according to a study conducted by staffing firm Spherion.
"It wasn't too many years ago we didn't allow people access to Facebook, and now most companies have someone assigned to bolster their presence on Facebook. Employees are often encouraged to go on frequently, engaging with customers and participating in the conversation of the day," says Sandy Mazur, division president for Spherion.
Small businesses understand that they have to be visible, Mazur says, but what they struggle with still is how to make social media accessible to a wider employee base. According to the Spherion study, 45% of employers believe access to social media allows their workers to be more productive, and 41% of employers use social media outlets to foster a team environment."Social media is here to stay, and employers are realizing that access to that information and data helps people to feel more connected in their personal lives, which increases that work/life balance that's so critical," Mazur says. "But right now companies are embracing it more externally than they are internally they know they need to have the visibility for their company, but they may not allow employees to have ready access to it during the work day."

Sunday Pasta®: Penne Integrale con Cavolini di Bruxelles (Brussels Sprouts)
Tastes great, less filling. The breakfast of champions. Low in calories. Rich in antioxidants. Part of a healthy diet. A good source of fiber. Helps supports regularity. Supports brain function. Heart healthy. You deserve a break today. No artificial flavors or coloring. No additives or preservatives. Low in sugar. Low in fat. Got sprouts? I can't believe I ate the whole thing. I can't believe it's not butter. Where's the beef? Clap on. Clap off.
p.s. It wouldn't be crazy to add a handful of pancetta and/or breadcrumbs to the dish, as they might do in Italy, where everyone seems to be healthy and svelte, mainly because they would eat this delicious bowl of whole wheat pasta and fresh vegetables without thinking twice about the above bulls–t.
Buon Appetito!
Ed Garrubbo
Check out our wine pairings for this recipe as well as our About post that gives a brief history of brussel sprouts.
Remove the stem of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half, removing the rough outer leaves. Wash thoroughly. Steam the Brussesl sprouts for 10 minutes. In a large pan over medium, add the oil and sauté the garlic until golden. Add the Brussels spouts and cover. Let cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, and drain it, retaining one cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the Brussels spouts and mix together. Add some of the retained cooking water to taste. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Parmigiano.
P.s. If you would like to add 6 oz of diced pancetta, add it to the pan before the garlic and cook over medium heat for a few minutes until golden. Also, a handful of breadcrumbs could be added when the pasta is mixed into the Brussels sprouts.

St. Francis Xavier University was founded in 1853 and has a long and proud tradition as one of Canada's oldest universities. Today, StFX is Canada's premiere undergraduate university, consistently receiving the highest marks in Canada for academics. StFX is known for its strong spirit, its loyal alumni, its small class sizes, and its vibrant student body and residential campus experience. The strong spirit and values of StFX have been the cornerstone of the university for over 160 years. StFX is a "national university" and is unique in Canada attracting approximately 50% of its students from outside of the Atlantic region, creating a student population that reflects nearly every corner of Canada and North America, and with StFX's Coady International Institute, the world. StFX has alumni in 140 countries around the globe. It's their reach and influence that continues to strengthen and enrich the StFX experience.
The Early Years
During the first half of the 19th century, close to a million farmers, labourers and tradesmen came from the British Isles to the shores of Nova Scotia to seek a better life, joining the Acadians and Aboriginal peoples already settled there. In the early years, the vast majority of immigrants to the region where StFX was eventually founded were of Scottish Highland decent. In fact the primary language for the over 50% of the people in these early years was Gaelic. To this day there are Gaelic signs and a vibrant Gaelic community in the Antigonish region, along with the oldest Highland Games in the world outside Scotland. Scottish Highlanders made up 67% of the StFX constituency, while Acadians, Irish, English and Aboriginal made up the rest.
StFX was born to serve this diverse community. StFX offered the only university-level education in the region at that time and, partnered with the Roman Catholic diocese, maintained strict academic standards in order to give those who wanted the best education possible.
StFX Past and Present
Over the course of the following decades StFX flourished, expanding its curriculum and bringing the mission of service across Canada and abroad. In the 1930s, that identity was solidified with the world renowned Antigonish Movement—a program whose mandate aligned perfectly with StFX's original principles of community outreach and service to society. In 1959, the Coady International Institute was formed, allowing those principles to be taken to all corners of the globe.
StFX is also about leadership. The unique campus environment and the StFX values social responsibility have created an atmosphere where students learn to hone their leadership skills and make a difference later in life. StFX is proud of its tradition of producing leaders in health, education, politics, academics, business, labour, and so much more.
StFX has since grown into a renowned institution that works hard to maintain the qualities it was founded on. We've seen numerous changes—changes in faculty, changes in the student body, changes in our academic programs. But, while most of Canada's smaller universities have either abandoned their roots or consolidated into larger institutions, we've vigorously maintained our autonomy, guarded our character, and upheld the same traditions of freedom and service that inspired the men and women stepping onto the eastern Nova Scotian shores a century and a half ago. At StFX, we're excited about where we're headed. But we also like to remember where we came from.
StFX Today
StFX continues to receive the top marks for academics in Canada, and because almost all courses are taught by full time Ph.D. professors, StFX has a distinct advantage over large urban commuter universities who use teaching assistants or grad students. The small class sizes allow for greater participation and professors who know your name.
The real StFX advantage is the student experience. Being in a university town allows students the opportunity to live and learn with students from across Canada and around the world. There is no commute home, and instead you meet new friends and gain new experiences in the strong residential campus. The highly residential campus creates the most spirited student body and our legendary X Spirit. With leading academic education which prepares students for their future, along with friendships and experiences that last a lifetime, it is no wonder StFX has the highest student satisfaction of all major universities in Canada.
In the past 15 years StFX has raised the bar further: we have taken the historic StFX values and foundation and legendary spirit and high academic standing and created an even stronger campus and university with the latest in classroom and library technology, while maintaining our historic look and feel. The most beautiful campus in Canada, StFX has invested nearly $200 million in the campus since 1996 including:
- The Keating Centre, with two ice pads, state of the art physical fitness facilities, and rooms for conferences and events that hold up to three thousand people. The famous "X-Ring Ceremony" is held in the Keating Center, as is convocation and other major events such as the President Clinton address for the Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership.
- Governors Hall, a residence with suites and high end finishing that doubles as a hotel in summer for conferences and events on StFX campus.
- Residence renewal, Bishops, MacIsaac, New residences: Being a residential campus, StFX has invested in several new residences and re-furbished existing residences. The legendary Bishops, for example, including Burke and Plessis, are now single room residences with fridge's options, microwaves, and bathrooms and decor that are beautiful. Several new residences, including Sommers and Powers Hall, have also been built with the latest in technology while maintains the traditional historic exterior.
- Another new residence is being constructed to accommodate students and ensure the high quality education and experience is matched by the world's best residences.
- The Science Centre, completed 7 years ago, is a state of the art facility housing our leading science program with labs and technology that allow students to fully develop their potential in the sciences.
- The StFX Coady International Institute, a leader in the helping developing nations around the world, is housed in a new facility that utilized an existing hundred year old exterior, along with a new addition built in the old style such that it blends together. The StFX Coady International institute bring in leaders from developing nations as well as Canadian communities and train them to be a force for change. The Coady Institute has helped millions of people worldwide, and the new facility is another stunning piece of architecture. The Aboriginal Women's Leadership Program is held in the Coady, as are numerous other programs that help improve regions around the globe.
- The Gerald Schwartz School of Business is Canada's most beautiful business school and fast becoming a leader in the field. This stunning new addition in 2010 is a 'must see' and named after a StFX alumnus and one of Canada's leading business leaders Gerry Schwartz. The Schwartz School houses our top academic staff and all the classes for the business curriculum, including large and small classrooms to small break out rooms for studying or student group projects.
- The Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership, officially opened in 2011 at a 700 person gala event on campus by President Bill Clinton, builds on StFX's already strong leadership programs. Known for producing leaders in industry, health, education, politics and more, StFX has numerous leadership opportunities for students that would not be as readily available in large commuter universities. From foreign exchanges to local or on campus leadership opportunities, the McKenna Centre is a stunning new facility where worlds renowned leaders in various fields, visiting lectures and guests will come to StFX to allow students to listen and ask questions first hand to global leaders.
- There is more to come to make StFX a standout amongst Canadian Universities and to better prepare our students to be leaders of tomorrow.

- Directed by Christopher Nolan
Memento review
The good:
Memento - You'll never forget it
Unique idea, great plot, fantastic twist, wonderful actors.....I could go on.The bad:
Some people may find this a little difficult to follow...Summary:
You will not get this film on the first playthrough.
And maybe not the second either.
Keep trying though. Because this film is fantastic. Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a man haunted by his wife's murder. He vows to hunt down and kill the man who killed her.
The twist is that Leonard has no short term memory. Although he remembers everything up to the night his wife died, he cannot remember anything that happened afterwards.
Unfazed by this Leonard tattoos every clue he finds on his body, as a permanent memento, and takes photographs of everything important.
The reason the film is so difficult to understand is that it does not play in chronological order. The opening sequence plays entirely backwards....we see a bullet return to a gun, and a man instantly revive from death. The other segments of the film are played forwards, but are in backwards chronological order.
In most films, characters travel from ignorance to knowledge, from a point where they know nothing til they know everything. Because of Leonard's unique situation, it is only at the begining of the story (which is the end of the film) that he knows anything, and only at the end of the story (the begining of the film) that he knows nothing.
The acting is perfect. Guy Pearce is absolutely fantstic in this role, and the other characters are nearly as good. The twists and turns as the plot draws to its unforseeable begining will keep you on the edge of your seat and thinking about the characters long after they've left the screen.
But don't go thinking this is only a thriller. Leonard's wry humour, and his clear love for his wife, (who he is unable to mourn, since every morning he wakes up having forgotten she's gone), means there is a lot more to it than that.
Since the film is now available on dvd, you can pause it, and watch sections over and over, which, for this film, is very helpful in understanding what is actually happening. There's also a hidden feature on the dvd enabling you to watch the film in chronological order. I don't advise this for the first time you watch it, since it ruins the effect, but the options there if you want it.
Summary: buy this dvd. If you take nothing else from this film you get to drool over Guy Pearce. Or Carrie Ann Moss, if she's more your type. Cute Actors. Always a bonus.

WASHINGTON — A landmark $500 million settlement has been reached against a meat packing company found to have abused its animals, according to the Humane Society of the United States. In 2008, an undercover video showed Hallmark Meat Packing Co. abusing "downer cows" — those too sick or weak to walk — on the way to slaughter, according to the Wall Street Journal. A recall of the tainted meat was the largest in U.S. history and cost $150 million in taxpayer ...

UNEP GEAS Releases Alert on GHG Emissions from Meat Consumption
October 2012: The October issue of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Global Environmental Alert Service (GEAS), titled "Growing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Due to Meat Production," outlines the contribution of meat production to climate change and aims to encourage more sustainable meat systems.
According to the October Alert, consumption of meat is rapidly increasing and meat production is currently responsible for 10-35% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The difference between the estimates is due to the exclusion or inclusion of emissions due to deforestation and land use change. The largest share of GHG emissions related to agriculture is from methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
The report notes that average meat consumption globally is 115 grams per day, but this varies widely between countries. In the US, average per capita daily consumption is 322 grams, and in India it is 12 grams.
The Alert recommends further exploration of the human health implications of reduced meat consumption. It also notes that changing the eating habits of the world's population will be difficult and slow to achieve, and will need to involve incentives to meat producers and consumers to change their production and dietary patterns. [Publication: UNEP GEAS Bulletin, October 2012]

High-res Nexus 7, iPad mini with Retina Display coming later this year?
In the past year, both large tablets and 5-inch smartphones have shifted to razor-sharp, high-resolution displays. Smaller tablets, however, have yet to make that leap. According to an analyst who's been keeping tabs on the supply chain, that could soon change – with both the iPad mini and Nexus 7 switching to high-res "Retina" displays.
Google strikes first?
According to CNET, DisplaySearch analyst Paul Semenza sees the supply chain moving in that direction. After examining data from Asian parts suppliers, he predicts that Google and ASUS will strike first, releasing a 2nd-generation Nexus 7 with a sharper display.
He predicts that the 2nd-gen Nexus 7 will tote a 1,920 x 1,200 display, at 323 pixels per inch (PPI). That would be a significant upgrade over the current model's 1,280 x 800 (216 PPI) display. Semenza said panel production could potentially start in Q2 2013.
Retina iPad mini in October?
Semenza then sees Apple shipping the much-desired iPad mini with Retina Display sometime in Q3 or Q4, 2013. It would quadruple its predecessor's pixel count, jumping to 2,048 x 1,536 (326 PPI). Unless Apple radically alters its approach to upgrading iOS device displays, Semenza's prediction is no surprise. Apple upgrades iOS device displays in even multiples, to maximize compatibility and simplify the transition for developers.
Semenza didn't go as far as predicting that the Retina iPad mini would be thicker and heavier than its predecessor, but he did reiterate Apple's challenge in creating the product, pointing to the fact that the Retina iPads (3rd and 4th gen models) are chunkier than the iPad 2.
The analyst's predictions are potentially in line with previous (alleged) leaks, which pointed to a higher-resolution Nexus 7 sequel in May. Separate leaks suggested that the iPad mini won't get a Retina Display until October.
Grains of salt
When you're dealing with Apple rumors and supply chain leaks, it's often hard to separate fact from fiction. But with multiple leaks pointing in the same direction – and few murmurs contradicting them – there's a decent chance that this smoke will soon reveal a fire.

From 2011-08-21 to 2011-08-27
Venue: Stockholm, Sweden
Summary:The world is undergoing rapid urbanisation: people, ideas and commodities are intensively mobilising from peripheries to economic centres, where architectural wonders towers sky lines while slums continue to grow in their shadows. By 2050, more people will live in cities than the number of people living in the entire world today.
Under the theme "Responding to Global Changes: Water in an Urbanising World," the 2011 World Water Week will take place in Stockholm, from 21 to 27 August. The programme for this year will be dynamic and diverse, including vital topics such as urban governance, planning, adaptation and risk reduction, resilient supply chains, equitable service delivery and technologies for resource prudent modern lifestyles in increasingly livable cities.

Images of the Past: Native Americans
We've posted some varied sets of historical photos before (such as here and here), but this time we've got some focusing on a specific social group: Native Americans.
In 1906, photographer Edward S. Curtis was offered $75,000 to document the lives of Native Americans.
The benefactor, JP Morgan, would later receive nearly 1,500 pictures in a collection entitled The North American Indian. Curtis had been looking to photograph the Indians of North America at a time when they were dispossessed of their land and their rights.
Curtis's photographs depict a romantic version of their cultures, a vision contrary to the stereotypes of Indians at the time.
Here is a small selection of our favorites:

SPF isn't an anti-spam measure. It is an anti-FORGERY measure. You are
correct that one can still get spammed from an "authorized source." Note
that such strengthens the claim that the source IS the source of spam - i.e.
the spammer cannot hide - one knows his domain. Same thing with domainkeys.
The method only verifies its origin, not its content. Neither of these will
stop spam from a botnet running a node on your infected machine - but will
verify that you are in fact the source.

New website launched for growing estate agents
We love to show off our work from time to time, and we're especially proud of this recent website...
Building on their enormous growth in recent years Horizon Estates decided it was time to upgrade their website to match their status. As the leading estate agents in their area, they needed a website that would automatically update to reflect the properties they have for sale on RightMove. They also required the ability to manage their own content, so we opted to create them a dynamic website using WordPress as the content management system.
The website was redesigned from the ground up, which allowed us to take advantage of new branding Horizon had recently created for their promotional material. Wordpress also provided an excellent platform for Horizon's employees to update their news.
RightMove integration ensured that the property information displayed on the Horizon Estates website was always up to date. Horizon Estates' customers are now able to effortlessly browse sales and rental property listings, and arrange viewings at the click of a button.

Our stay in the Skyline view room was wonderful. Luca was a superb host. Welcoming, friendly and he spent time giving us lots of suggestions & advice. The room was spotlessly clean & the bed very comfortable. The location is fantastic, a 10-15 minute walk to the Coliseum & a 2 minute walk to the metro & tram. I would definitely recommend this as a perfect place to stay in Rome.
Everything was great as described by Lucas flat was lovely clean separate bathroom as in hotel we spend lovely three days in rome :) if i ever would come back to rome I would definetly stay there again.
Pleasant spacious room! Clean, lots of privacy, fridge in room, near metro, but also a lot to do on foot, good bed a bit hard to side. Luca gives many tips that are worth! In short: good place!
Prettige ruime kamer! Schoon, veel privacy, koelkastje op kamer, vlakbij metro, maar ook veel is goed te doen per voet, bed een beetje aan harde kant. Luca geeft veel tips die de moeite waard zijn! Kortom : goede plek!
We spent a very pleasant stay, Luca welcomed us with great kindness, spacious and clean room like the kitchen, quiet and all visits to monuments and museums can be done on foot
Der Gastgeber ist sehr bemüht und die Unterkunft gepflegt.

Den Rest kann man sich je nach Gusto selbst besorgen und im eigenen Kühlschrank verstauen. Wäschewechsel 2x pro Woche. Gute Lage, vieles ist zu Fuß erreichbar, die U-Bahn ist etwa 4 bis 5 Minuten entfernt.
Wij hebben geweldig genoten van ons verblijf in Rome.
Mede dankzij de geweldige service en de bereidheid van ons gastheer Luca om net dat meer te doen dan je verwacht!
De toegevoegde waarde en de reden waarom wij hebben gekozen voor een ander accommodatie dan bij een hotelketen. De kamer was zeer netjes, authentiek en bood ons alle privacy die je je kon wensen. Uitzicht was priceless, zeker met de kerkklokken in de morgen.
The perfect place in Rome: close to the city center, very good restaurants in the neighborhood, nice and quiet part of town!
The room was clean and beautiful and the location very good! Just 10' from colosseum! The service was also very good and everybody very friendly!
Our flight time changed and we arrived a lot earlier and nobody was there,but it was our mistake of miscommunication. However, we were offered a better room than the one we originally booked because of the inconvenience!!we really appreciated it!
Very nice place. Close to bustling Rome; a step away from San Giovanni, but quiet and clean. Friendly and helpful host.
it was perfect !

Local Boys The Flavor Sizzle on CD
November 3rd, 2011 | Published in Events
By Pete Roche
Have any doubt that Cleveland is home to some exciting, original new music, or that C-Town cultivates a genre other than punk / heavy metal?
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Let The Flavor win you over. The bawdy blues quartet will play Brothers Lounge on November 9th and Grog Shop on December 10th (with Uncanny Xela and Ian Shaw).
Comprised of four hardcore Ohio blues aficionados ranging in age from mid-twenties to mid-fifties, The Flavor serves up a smorgasbord of Southwestern-styled blues on their eponymous first release for Love Muffin Records. Fans of Springsteen, Southside Johnny, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Elvis Presley, and Allman Brothers take note. If it has strings, The Flavor fellow can play it proficiently—from Telecasters and vintage Gibson Les Pauls to Fender Resonator guitar and electric mandolin—and add it to their sonic stew.
Commencing with in some in-studio talk and laughter, "Hot Sauce" bolts from the gate with rollicking twelve-bar blues straight out of the Louisiana bayou. A Cajun vibe pervades the track, which finds 25-year old singer / guitarist Joe Landes engaging in a little tongue-in-cheek risqué innuendo regarding his nickname: They call me Hot Sauce / Put your hand on my bottle / Take off the top / Get yourself some hot sauce / You'll want every last drop. The swampy slide guitar solo and extended chicken pickin' provide just a taste of what lies ahead on the delectable debut.
"Goin' Up North" matches Dave "Mann" Wolf's crunchy guitar with Ernie Richmann's sharp drum attack and Adam Rich's understated bass for a great groove, upon with Landes and Wolf swap some trebly, melodic leads. "Before You Let Me Go" eases the throttle a bit, the sturdy rhythm section playing in the pocket until the whispered outro. But then it's full speed ahead once more on "The Truth," a rockabilly barnstormer with big beats and gritty guitar.
"Little Girl" is a ready-made radio hit, employing vocal harmony over a simple but irresistible chord progression to extol a lover's many virtues: You and me, hand in hand / You told me you didn't want any other man / Now I'm trying the best I can…. "I've Lost Your Love" is the other side of the same coin, with Landes and Wolf relying on Martin D-28 and Alvarez DY-74 acoustics to bemoan romance gone awry.
"Hot and Bothered" has the boys getting mischievous again, with Landes relaying the familiar tale of a Lothario who hits the ground running when his girlfriend's gun-toting husband unexpectedly comes home. "Short Haired Woman" is another humorous entry, wherein the narrator ignores warnings from his mama (and preacher) about girls with close cuts, tattoos, and body piercings.
Landes professes love of his instrument in "My Guitar," siding with his six-string when a temptress forces him to choose. The playful tune crashes to a halt—only to start back up again in double-time. "Odd Man Out" examines the life of an extrovert, over whom bad mojo hangs like a thundercloud. Rich propels the number along with strident bass, over which Landes sprinkles a jazz-inflected solo. "Bleedin' Soul" approaches "Texas Flood" territory in ambition and scope; the slow, angst-ridden Delta blues piece sounds as if Landes and Wolf contributed solos with every instrument in their collective arsenal, slide guitar to lap-steel.
The album's midsection showcases musical reflection "Vertigo," whereon The Flavor's more serious side comes out, with the band exploring chances taken (and opportunities lost): Pause at the threshold / Take a deep breath / Win by a landslide / Or meet sudden death. It's a clever spin on that butterflies-in-the-stomach sensation one gets when trying something new or especially difficult, where each decision is crucial and the outcome offers no safety net between the two extremes of success and failure. At nearly seven minutes, "Closer to You" traipses through Mexicana styles, with the fleet-fingered guitarists kicking up dust with flamenco fills and bottleneck slides. Album capper "End" is no less delightful for being the disc's shortest selection—or its only instrumental.
The Flavor are to be commended for the production job on this self-made CD. The mix is quite good, with Rich's bass and Richmann's Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz kit sitting centered as miscellaneous lead instruments (including autoharp and melodica) by Landes and Wolf occupy stereo left and right. The sound couldn't be more crisp, or the playing more tight.
The Flavor perform at Brothers in Lakewood on November 9th and Grog Shop on December 10th.


text: Hepburn managed to live in real life in the vein of Shaw's women, and this obviously carries over into the Shakespearean role of Rosalind here. Outspoken and intellectual with an acerbic tongue, she defied the era's conventions, preferring to wear pantsuits and disdaining makeup (cp. "breeches parts" in earlier theatre). Hepburn's strongly progressive social views also became a target of anti-communist hysteria. Hepburn lent her name to some liberal social and political causes, particularly family planning. Most of her films stress the difficulties that couples can have when they try to find an equitable balance of power. Hepburn's genealogy has been researched through the Whittier line back to King Louis IX of France (a great grandson of King Henry II and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, whom she played in The Lion in Winter). The overt sexual appeal of the boyish costumes of both the actress and actor is very apparent - a quite traditional effect, but only after Shakespeare's time. Hepburn's sexual assurance resembles that of most Shavian heroines. She actually played the lead in Shaw's The Millionairess in London in 1952.

Please note that all custom natural stone counters are proudly manufactured in the USA specifically for your order, and so require at least 4 weeks manufacturing time.
Natural stone like marble and granite, while otherwise durable, are vulnerable to staining from hair dye, ink, tea, coffee, oily materials such as hand cream or milk, and can be etched by acidic substances such as alcohol and soft drinks. Please protect your countertop and/or sink by avoiding contact with these substances. For more information, please review our "Marble & Granite Care" guide.

I love how this vanity is a cottage style cabinet, with a twist of modern feel to it.
This is a very well constructed vanity. I love the soft closing glides it has on the drawers and doors.
The sales lady was very nice.. She guided me through the website, and answered all my questions. I am very excited, and cant wait to finally receive the vanity .
I purchased this vanity, with doubts in my mind, because I was not really a fan of the square handles. However once I received the vanity I decided to buy my own handles and change it myself . I gotta tell you, it looked so different, and gave my vanity a whole new look. Love it!
Gorgeous piece of furniture but I changed the handles when I received it. Quality is amazing for the price I paid for.
this is a well made piece that looks great. we had a door broken in transport and Josh had a new door delivered to us within the week. the service was great.

The EPA developed Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards, or MACT standards, to reduce the effects of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) generated by industry.
There is a common misconception that the term "control technology" refers to expensive emission control devices, such as scrubbers, thermal oxidizers and bio-filters. In fact, the term "control technology" can actually mean measures, processes, methods, systems or techniques that are used to limit the emissions of hazardous air pollutants.
MACT standards affect sources (new and old) by making them meet specific emissions limits. These limits are based on the emissions levels already achieved by the best-performing similar facilities.
This straightforward, performance-based approach yields standards that are both reasonable and effective in reducing toxic emissions.
This approach also provides a level economic playing field by ensuring that facilities with good controls are not disadvantaged relative to competitors with poorer controls.
The EPA develops MACT standards specific to each source category.
To determine MACT standards, the EPA looks at the current level of emissions that are being achieved by the best-performing similar sources. These emission levels are then used to set a baseline that is known as the "MACT floor" for the new standard.
A MACT standard must, at a minimum, achieve throughout the industry, a level of emissions control that is at least equivalent to the MACT floor.
The EPA can then establish a more stringent standard when this makes economic, environmental, and public health sense.
The standards that were developed through this MACT approach became known as the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs). The purpose of these NESHAPs is to protect the public health by reducing discharges of HAPs from major air emission sources.
A "major source" of HAPs is defined as any stationary source (or group of stationary sources) that annually emits, in the aggregate, at least 10 tons of any single HAP or 25 tons of multiple HAPs.

We were introduced to Joe the Plumber running for Congress, now we have Vinnie the former plumber seeking the Assembly speaker post, more or less.
The big Statehouse news is that Sen. Nick Sacco, a Democrat who is also mayor of North Bergen and most of West Hudson and Secaucus (wink), is pushing 32nd District Assemblyman Vincent Prieto of Secaucus as the new Assembly Speaker. Sheila Oliver, an East Orange Democrat, is the current speaker.
(The paragraph below that begins with the asterisk explains why this is all happening.)
Does Nick want to alienate Oliver's boss, Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo? I thought Sacco was friendly with DiVincenzo? Silly me. We're talking politics and every once in awhile even the elephants struggle for a pecking order. Nick is trying to show that he can flex some muscle on the state level. This is possible as long as there's another statewide boss, South Jersey's George Norcross, whom you can call your new best friend -- after Nick met with him last week and plans to do so again.
When the Prieto reports came out, Sacco kept quiet about his present relationship with Essex County and South Jersey. He did not go out of his way to deny any split with Essex's boss. It's almost like Olive trying to get Popeye and Bluto (Brutus in later versions) to fight over her.
Some in Hudson County who are backing Prieto are whispering that U.S. Rep. Albio Sires approves of having a fellow Latino become the Assembly speaker. Remember, Albio became speaker in 2002 when Gov. Jim McGreevey outmaneuvered the Hudson County Democratic Organization that wanted Bayonne's Joseph Doria in the leadership role.
Those close to Sires said the congressman has been mum on the Prieto issue, having not endorsed Prieto, either publicly or tacitly, for speaker.
"They're all saying they miss me as speaker" is all Sires would say on the Prieto issue.
The initial fallout between DiVincenzo and Norcross seems to have come over the issue of education reform.
If Prieto has Norcross' blessing and wins the speaker post, look for the Secaucus assemblyman to become the yes-man for charter schools.
Oliver's future dimmed with the success of Gov. Chris Christie's state pension and benefits reform legislation.
A decision on Oliver's and Prieto's futures is expected to be made at a Nov. 10 vote.
If all legislators stay where they are after Tuesday's general election, the magic number is 24, a majority of the 47 Democratic Assembly members.
Norcross influences about 11 South Jersey votes and is considered the biggest single bloc. This was true until Hudson and Bergen Dems united, giving them a bloc of 11 or 12 (redrawn districts). Essex has eight shaky votes. Two of those eight are considered Sen. Richard Codey's votes and who knows what he's thinking?
Will Norcross stay with DiVincenzo? Even if Norcross decides to stay with Oliver, Prieto may still have enough votes out there to win, but it's a longshot. Somehow, I think Oliver will return only because there are too many egos tripping over each other.
I didn't get into all the other personalities involved because Hudson County residents care mostly about the battles in their backyard.
Hudson Dems are whining that they have had little or no leadership role in Trenton since Speaker Sires left for Congress in 2006 and Doria resigned as commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs in 2009. It reflects the weakened state of the HCDeadO.
Prieto has a good chance of coming away with something important. If it's not speaker, the consolation prize may be either majority leader or budget committee chairman. Of the two, I would think Sacco would prefer the latter.
* Why? Because this exercise is all about Nick keeping up with Union City Mayor and state Sen. Brian Stack. You have to believe that the North Bergen powertician may feel threatened by Stack's closeness to Gov. Chris Christie.
It is a touch of paranoia when Sacco thinks that if there is a problem for Stack, all he has to do is call the governor for an air strike (as one observer called it) -- state aid or some such assistance. For Sacco, controlling the Assembly speaker, therefore the budget, is the equalizer.
This is why, if not the speaker, then budget chairman is ideal. It's cool to be called the majority leader, but the title is more about politics and fundraising, while budget chairman is more "utilitarian," financially practical -- and more to Nick's liking.
-- UPDATE: So this column was written Wednesday afternoon . Prieto decides Thursday to announce that he has the votes to become budget chairman. He says a deal is not complete. The assemblyman is taking the consolation prize but other Assembly members say the Secaucus pol doesn't have the votes. Let's call the situation "fluid."
For a guy who has never served on a budget panel, the only question I have is whether Prieto has ever reconciled a checking account?
-- Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer is hosting a Nov. 17 fundraising event at her home "to celebrate saving Hoboken University Medical Center & removing the $52 million burden from our taxpayers. The actions of the City Council minority continue to threaten the well being of our city.
"Mayor Zimmer needs YOU to help continue moving Hoboken forward."
The "donation" is $250.
It's good to have an enemy to fight and evoke to rally the troops.
But what minority?
Before the big vote, I was under the impression the administration already had Councilman Tom Occhipinti's vote -- the needed sixth vote. Yet, immediately after the hospital measure was approved, Counclman (Mayor?) Ravi Bhalla decided to deliver a scathing speech attacking "the minority."
Hmm. What do you think are the chances of the administration getting that sixth vote next time? And there will be a need (parking garage?) for a super majority in the near future.
Time to march out those city workers for public display, again.
-- Freeholder Jeff Dublin, chairman of the Jersey City Democratic Organization, has invited the party's membership to a pre-election breakfast this morning at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
Dublin wrote that he expects the HCDO candidates who won on Column "A" in the June primary will be elected on Nov. 8 with JCDO help.
He adds that they will be working as "in all the past elections to elect the HCDO candidates headed by Senator Sandra Cunningham." As in all nonpartisan elections, he meant to say.
-- Harold "Bud" Demellier, county roads chief and lunchtime consultant, is also the campaign wrangler for incumbent City Council members Kalimah Ahmad-Mays and Ray Velazquez in Tuesday's special election for their seats. It is a tense period for the city administration that needs to re-elect Mayor Jerramiah Healy's two people.
Cool as a long rider, Demellier is preparing for the battle. He will not be seen at any pre-election breakfast with campaign workers. Instead, Bud will be attending the Breeder's Cup World Championships for thoroughbreds at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky - as usual, according to my sources. He left Thursday night for the weekend.
-- Who could have sent out all those fliers falsely claiming that Stack has endorsed school board member Sue Mack and former Healy mayoral aide Omar Perez in Tuesday's special council election? Gee, who has a penchant for handing out campaign literature late at night without a "paid for by ..." on the bottom of the message? (T)otally (B)affling.
-- Low voter turnout on Tuesday means Ahmad and Velazquez have a shot at returning to the council. Otherwise, Mack and Richardson have the inside track with dark horses Rolando Lavarro and even Hilltop activist Richard Boggiano, both approaching from the outside.
Key: Should black voters fail to materialize, Ray could slide in with the support of the gay and artist communities.
Now we'll find out how concerned Jersey City residents/voters are about their hometown.
-- Some newcomers to the election scene have yet to learn that when running for office, you don't pay campaign workers before the race begins. They are now having a hard time finding the hired help. This is why everyone gets paid after the election.
-- Where's Peter Stuyvesant?
-- Who owns all those frequent flyer miles that Hudson County Community College President Glen Gabert has been collecting when he is reimbursed by the county for all those trips to Europe?
-- Turn your clock back an hour tonight. Two hours, if you're an elected official. Three for patronage workers.

T. Robishaw, L. Blitz (University of California at Berkeley)
We present evidence that nearly half of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph and dSph/dIrr) in the Local Group are associated with large reservoirs of atomic gas, in some cases larger than the stellar mass. The gas is sometimes found at large distance (~10 kpc) from the center of a galaxy and is not necessarily centered on it. The properties of some of the gas reservoirs are similar to the median properties of the High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs); two of the H\rm\scriptstyle I reservoirs are cataloged HVCs. The association of the H\rm\scriptstyle I with the dwarf spheroidals might thus provide a link between the High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs) and stars. We show that the H\rm\scriptstyle I content of the Local Group dSphs and dIrrs exhibits a sharp decline if the galaxy is within 250 kpc of either the Milky Way or M31. This suggests that each galaxy has a massive (1010\, \rm M\odot) x-ray emitting halo that produces ram-pressure stripping if a dwarf ventures too close to either giant spiral. For the derived mean density of the hot gas, n\circ = 2.5 \times 10-5\ \rm cm-3, ram-pressure stripping is found to be more than an order of magnitude more effective than tidal stripping in removing the gas from the dSph galaxies.

Bach and Beyond Festival starts Friday
The 2014 program by the International Baroque Soloists under music director Grant Cooper will feature music of both Bachs, including concertos for flute, oboe and harpsichord, plus music of other composers, as well.
A musician new to the Festival is the Rev. Sean Duggan, a Benedictine monk who will appear as a soloist and continuo player.
Despite being the towering musical figure of the Protestant Reformation, J.S. Bach has been a constant musical companion of Duggan's. He won first prize in the Johann Sebastian Bach International Competition for Pianists in 1983 and again in 1991. Eight years ago, Duggan undertook a marathon series of 16 concerts at which he played the complete keyboard works of J.S. Bach at the State University of New York at Fredonia, where he is on the piano faculty.
"One of the most exciting things about our Bach and Beyond Festival is the excitement that comes from our ensemble of musicians," said Rick Davis, executive director of the 1891 Fredonia Opera House.
"Their camaraderie is incredible; and they look forward to the festival as much as we do."
Note to Mr. Davis: It's not too early to plan for the 300th birthday of Gottfried Heinrich Bach, only 10 years away.

A group of Arkansas doctors have called a news conference to announce their opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana.
The group led by Little Rock Dr. David Smith said in a news release Tuesday that it will announce its opposition to the proposal on Wednesday at Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock.
The proposed initiated act on the November 6 ballot would allow patients with qualifying conditions to buy marijuana from nonprofit dispensaries.
If approved, the measure would make Arkansas the first southern state to legalize medical marijuana.

DETROIT, MI – Plans are once again moving forward to demolish the 12-story Professional Plaza building and a two-floor commercial strip center next to it in favor of a medical facility and mixed-use development as well as parking.
The Professional Plaza is also known as the Hammer and Nail building, because of the three large hammers coming down on a nail along the side of its roof.
The city of Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and private developers are moving ahead with the demolition and redevelopment plans at 3800 and 3750 Woodward Ave. after the state approved tax incentives for the project, which was originally approved in 2011 but previous developers ran into financing trouble.
Using local and school tax capture valued at $8 million, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and developers plan to redevelop the 5-acre site to include a 195,000-square-foot, five-story medical office building with retail on the ground floors, a four-floor mixed-use commercial building and a 648-space parking ramp.
The project is expected to be a $73 million investment that will create 30 full-time jobs, according to the Michigan Economic Growth Corporation, which also approved a 20 percent Michigan Business Tax Brownfield Credit.
The two-phase project does not have to be complete until June 2021. The MEDC granted the project an additional five years after signing off on a similar development in 2011, but the MEDC said in a briefing that "the original qualified taxpayer was unable to carry out the proposed project due to the recession."
Midtown Project, LLC currently owns the property.
The MEDC approved the Michigan Business Tax Brownfield Credit on the project the same day it signed off on helping to fund nine projects that are expected to bring 3,900 jobs to Michigan.
