'Sleeping Nymph', Antonio Canova, 1820-1824. Museum no. A.30-1930
'Sleeping Nymph'
Antonio Canova
About 1820-1824
Museum no. A.30-1930
Famous throughout Europe, Canova was the last great pre-modern Italian sculptor. His reputation declined soon after his death in 1822, but was revived two hundred years after his birth in an exhibition at Rhode Island School of Design in 1957. This modernist school appreciated his austere formality, drained of blood: Canova was once described as 'born dead'. His nymph, inspired by a classical hermaphrodite, is both a symbol and a portrait: the model is reputed to be Madame Recamier, the celebrated society hostess, no hermaphrodite. Kenneth Clark complained that 'mechanical execution had removed the last tremor of excitement', but her cold beauty is intensely erotic.

Pair of shoes for a woman's bound feet, 1850-1950. Museum no. FE.49:1-1999
Pair of shoes for a woman's bound feet
About 1850-1950
Embroidered mauve and black silk
Museum no. FE.49:1-1999
The ritual deformation of women's feet by restrictive binding was a Chinese tradition that only died out in the last century. Often no more than ten centimetres long and sometimes no more than a thumb's width across, exquisite shoes were required both to conceal and display these feet. A curious dialogue existed between erotic beauty and this physical deformity: men sought sexual contact with the Lotus Foot.
European travellers in the nineteenth century noted that the swaddling produced a distinctive smell. Not only did foot-binding restrict the 'vaine walkes' of Chinese women, it created a body part that was often seen as sexually charged.

Imperial Throne of Emperor Ch'ien Lung, 1775-80 (Qing Dynasty). Museum no. W.399:1-1922
Imperial Throne of Emperor Ch'ien Lung
1775-80 (Qing Dynasty)
Red carved lacquer on wood
Museum no. W.399:1-1922
Here is a beautiful expression of the gorgeous, indomitable power of the Chinese emperor. Made by the greatest of China's craftsmen at one of the most productive periods of Chinese art during the European eighteenth century, it is among the largest single pieces of red lacquer in the world. The throne was designed to project a near divine authority and a mondain grandiosity in the travelling palaces the emperor used when hunting outside the Forbidden City. The emperor of China saw himself as supreme ruler of a world where he sat at the centre. This throne is literally the seat and symbol of an awe-inspiring absolute power.

Katana blade, Kunihisa of Osaka, 1922. Museum no. M.192-1935
Katana blade
Kunihisa of Osaka
Museum no. M.192-1935
This is the celebrated, one-edged long-sword of the Japanese warrior class of the feudal period. Both a superbly crafted weapon and a powerful symbol, it is an authentic liaison of function and form. Only samurai were allowed to carry long-swords and they created an elaborate culture of handling individual blades: a samurai's soul was believed to reside in his katana and every gesture made with it was susceptible to meaningful interpretation. The samurai were disbanded in 1876 as a gesture of Japan's rejection of hermetic feudalism and embrace of international modernism. The symbolic value of the katana endured, however. Swords were banned after the end of the Second World War to indicate humility, but legal production began again in 1953. The katana's essential principles of efficient function with symbolic form were adopted by Japanese industrial designers, including Komin Yamada whose exquisite Global kitchen knives maintain an ancient tradition of highly skilled blade-making.

The Japanese chanoyu, or tea ceremony, demonstrates a belief that, given discipline and attention to detail, the most routine acts and humble objects can acquire a transcendent form of beauty. Significantly, the serene chanoyu was established at a turbulent time in Japan's history. Chanonyu was practised in a small square room, also a stage for ikebana or flower arranging. The room was designed to achieve a meditative calmness while participation in the tea ceremony was a qualification for membership of polite society. Tea had been known since the third millennium BC, but the chanoyu with its precise rituals and beautifully considered paraphernalia turned the drinking of a simple beverage into a highly aestheticised performance with spiritual as well as gastronomic dimensions.

Plaster cast of Michelangelo's David, about 1857. Museum no. REPRO.1857-161
Plaster cast of Michelangelo's David
Unknown, after Michelangelo
About 1857
Museum no. REPRO.1857-161
Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli were on the jury that decided to showcase Michelangelo's sublime youth in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio in 1504 (it was moved to the Accademia in 1873). David was a very conscious essay in homoerotic allure. However, Michelangelo's technique in enlarging an adolescent model to giant proportions has had its critics, including Jakob Burckhardt, the great Renaissance historian, who explained that David's beauty could best be appreciated when the proportions were restored by viewing it through the wrong end of a telescope. This plaster cast arrived (an unsolicited gift from the Duke of Tuscany) at the Foreign Office. It went on show at the South Kensington Museum (the V&A's predecessor) in 1857, intended to instruct the public in the matter of male beauty. It was believed that Queen Victoria was, however, shocked by the penis and a detachable plaster fig-leaf was provided to restore decorum.

Ewer, 10th-11th century. Museum no. 7904-1862
Egypt (Fatimid)
10th-11th century.
Rock crystal
Museum no. 7904-1862
The ewer was made in Egypt about the year 1000 of the Christian era. It is a masterpiece of Islamic craft. Sophisticated techniques were required to hollow-out a massive piece of the super-hard rock crystal into a vessel whose walls are mere millimetres thick. The magical clarity achieved was prized by contemporaries as a mystical combination of the properties of air and water. Difficulties of working the surface reduced decoration to a severe simplicity. After the looting of Cairo's treasuries, the ewer found its way to Europe where it was transferred to Christian use and admired as a marvel of exotic beauty. The hunting scenes indicate its original use was secular, as part of a lost Islamic world of courtly life with wine, poetry and music. Rock crystal - like Chinese celadon - was believed to shatter on contact with poison...a comment on the fragility of beauty itself.

Plaster cast of Domenico Brucciani's Portico de la Gloria, Santiago de Compostella, 1866. Museum no. REPRO.1866-50
Plaster cast of Domenico Brucciani's Portico de la Gloria
Santiago de Compostella
Plaster case
Museum no. REPRO.1866-50
This magnificent cast from the pilgrimage destination of Santiago de Compostela possesses two sorts of beauty. First, as a representation of heaven, the original is one of the greatest glories of Christian art. Second, as a bravura replica, the cast shows the bewildering confidence of the Victorians and their moral certainty that beauty could be captured by technology. The Portico was cast on site by Domenico Brucciani in 1866, arriving in the V&A in 1873. Later Brucciani went into business with the Museum, selling plaster casts to art schools in a pioneering campaign of mass-producing beautiful objects for the purposes of inspiration. Meanwhile, Master Mateo's original of 1188 remains in Galicia as the supreme artistic achievement of the pilgrimage style. But this Victorian copy, equally magnificent in ambition and execution, is an early demonstration of a modernist principle: that beauty must be reproduced.

'Two Angels with Candlesticks', Tilman Riemschneider, about 1505. Museum no. A:16-1912
'Two Angels with Candlesticks'
Tilman Riemschneider
About 1505
Carved limewood with traces of paint
Museum no. A:16-1912
That the successful sculptor Tilmann Riemenschneider was also briefly the Mayor of Wurzburg indicates his status as an artist, yet until the nineteenth century his work was obscure. But just as El Greco was rehabilitated in Spain, so was Riemenschneider in Germany. His rediscovery was a part of Germany's emerging national consciousness, but also a part of the emotional adventure that created modern art. Riemenschneider's controlled, but emphatic, expressiveness was held to represent characteristic northern angst , but he also projects great Gothic pathos. The sense of mysticism in Johann Hesse's sacred poem 'O Welt, ich muss dich lassen' (Oh World, I must leave you) can also be found in the recondite beauty of these limewood angels. It is significant that Riemenschneider's 1505 candlesticks (made for the tiny church at Wolferstetten) entered the V&A collections in 1912, at just the time Expressionism with its overt appeal to the emotions was emerging in continental Europe.

Relief of Virgin and Child, possibly Donatello, about 1455-1460. Museum no. 57:1-1867
Relief of Virgin and Child
Possibly Donatello
About 1455-1460
Gilded terracotta
Museum no. 57:1-1867
The gossipy historian Giorgio Vasari (described by Adrian Stokes as 'the most successful booster in all history') said Donatello invented the type of low relief sculpture known as schiacciato (literally: squashed). What Donatello also invented was a style of sculpture that, while exceptionally graceful on the surface, suggested great emotional tension under the repose of those same squashed surfaces. Donatello was self-conscious in his attempts to rival classical sculpture, but he also drew from life. His Christ-child is both a Florentine urchin and a pagan amorino. But in turning emotion into stone Donatello exceeds his antique masters. The sight of the Donatellos in Florence inspired the poet B.H. Fairchild to write: 'What are you thinking? And I say Beauty thinking/of how very far we are now from the machine shop/and the dry fields of Kansas'.

Tea kettle and stand, Christopher Dresser, 1880-1890. Museum no. M.935-1983
Tea kettle and stand
Christopher Dresser
Electroplate with ebonized wood details
Museum no. M.935-1983
Dresser enrolled at the Government School of Design, a forerunner of the V&A, when just thirteen. Later he studied plant forms with a view to applying principles of organic growth to the newly emerging category of mass-produced consumer products. A distinguished academic and successful design consultant (he advised Wedgwood and Minton), Dresser is best known for the astonishing geometrical metalware he designed during the 1870s. These were the most uncompromised industrial designs ever seen. So far from imitating vegetable forms, his toast racks and kettles are entirely without precedent. And, indeed, without successors. After this bout of vivid creativity, Dresser returned to more conventional Victorian models: despite predicting the Bauhaus, Dresser was an eccentric one-off, unable to escape the suffocating excess of his age.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 'The Day Dream', portrait of Jane Morris, 1880. Museum no. CAI 3
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82)
'The Day Dream'
Portrait of Jane Morris
Oil on canvas
Width 92.7 cm x height 158.7 cm
Museum no. CAI 3
Bequeathed by Constatine Alexander
© Ronald Stoops
Here Dante Gabriel Rossetti shows a beautiful woman as sex object, blurring distinctions between the aesthetic and erotic. The model was William Morris' wife, Jane, described by Henry James as 'guiltless of hoops' (meaning she daringly used neither supports nor stays leaving her voluptuous curves explicit). The imagery is as explicit as her body: in an unambiguously erotic gesture with the honeysuckle, she encourages sap to rise. Inspired by a Tennyson poem - 'Her full black ringlets downward roll'd' - Rossetti wrote a sonnet of his own on the frame. His vocabulary suggests a ripe sexuality: 'nursed in mellow intercourse', 'sheathed', 'tongues', 'buds'. Tennyson had written, 'Beyond the night, across the day/Thro' all the world she followed him'. This painting of a predatory woman with a keen sexual appetite is as erotically intense as it was possible to be in 1880.

John Constable (RA), 'Study of Clouds', 1822. Museum no. 590-1888
John Constable (RA) (1776-1837)
'Study of Clouds'
Oil on paper
Museum no. 590-1888
In 1822 a fast-moving cloud would have been the very fastest thing a man had seen: faster than a horse, a ship or even Richard Trevithick's new steam locomotives. John Constable had an ecstatic approach to nature, but it was also a scientific one. One of the very first painters to distinguish cloud types, he worked in parallel to Luke Howard whose 1802 lecture 'On the Modification of Clouds' began the serious study of the sky. Constable's written notes reveal both an artistic liveliness and a technical precision (some of it borrowed from Howard), but when he said 'I have done a good deal of skying' he suggests an almost supra-natural mysticism. To Constable, painting was an intensely emotional activity: its beauty at first in the mind, then in the hand and lastly in the eye.

Bottle, Lucie Rie, 1967. Museum no. CIRC.1226-1967
Lucie Rie
Museum no. CIRC.1226-1967
In the twentieth century, industrial designers usurped artists' historical monopoly on physical beauty. As a result, art became detached from life and wearisomely abstruse. The craft object evolved as a compromise: more personal and soulful than manufactured goods, more accessible than conceptual art. Of all potters Lucie Rie concentrated most emphatically on aesthetic purity. Unafraid to use industrial materials ('the pink comes from the chemist') she was nonetheless influenced by traditional Chinese and Persian ceramics. Few objects or images made in 1979 have the same absolute, meditative purity as this bottle.

Poster issued by Olivetti Typewriter Co. featuring the Olivetti Lexicon 80 typewriter
Marcello Nizzoli
About 1953
Museum no. CIRC.634-1965
As a manufacturer, Olivetti had a long history of high social and artistic purpose. Bauhaus designers worked on its posters and helped create the first typewriter conceived as a desirable consumer product, but it was the painter Marcello Nizzoli who established Olivetti as undisputed leader in the beautifying of ordinary objects. The sculptural sophistication of the Lexikon 80 of 1948 is typical of his work. In 1952 the Museum of Modern Art in New York acknowledged Olivetti's achievement in bringing beauty to the workplace by giving the Italian company the sort of one-man-show that is usually the privilege of painters.

MT8 table lamp, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, 1924. Museum no. M.628-1989
MT8 table lamp
Wilhelm Wagenfeld
Museum no. M.628-1989
The Bauhaus believed in bringing art and technology together, exactly as they had been in medieval cathedrals. According to Walter Gropius, 'each object should fulfil its function in a practical way and be long-lasting, affordable and beautiful'. The strictest observers of this creed were in the school's metal workshop, whose 'Form-Meister' was the characterful Hungarian, László Moholy-Nagy. Here Carl Jacob Jucker and Wilhelm Wagenfeld designed this lamp in 1924. It is one of the purest expressions of Bauhaus theory: geometrical shapes and industrial materials with no concessions to decoration or frivolity. But there were paradoxes. The elementary forms were, in practice, difficult to manufacture and production was soon shifted outside the Bauhaus' workshops. The lamp is still made today, a quaint relic of a movement that believed in dogmatic, simple truths.

Architectural model of Chiswick House, The Network Modelmakers, 2001. Museum no. NCOL.2-2001
Architectural model of Chiswick House
The Network Modelmakers
Museum no. NCOL.2-2001
The Englishman, D.H. Lawrence once remarked, only feels comfortable travelling south. This was one of the purposes of the Grand Tour: to acquaint fortunate Englishmen with the warm, comforting beauties of Italy and the Mediterranean. One result of this dalliance was the transplanting to Middlesex of architectural designs originating in the brighter light of the Veneto. Chiswick House was an addition to the Earl of Burlington's existing residence. Built in 1725-9, it was conceived as a pleasure palace as well as a souvenir. It was inspired by designs of Palladio and Scamozzi, but has more eccentricity and vigour, more barbarity (critic Ian Nairn called it 'violence') than the originals. What it represents is a wistful dream of architectural perfection, experienced abroad, transported home to be contemplated in tranquillity.

Model of Sir Isaac Newton, Micheal Rysbrack, 1730. Museum no. A.1-1938
Model of Sir Isaac Newton
Micheal Rysbrack
Museum no. A.1-1938
Newton was the son of an illiterate farmer. His sense of beauty was not a physical one (he was notoriously careless about appearances), but intellectual. Determined to resolve the messy contradictions of life in a vast, synthetic theorem, he established laws of physical behaviour that will - perhaps - be eternally valid. He died in 1729 and his memorial was built, to a design by architect William Kent, in Westminster Abbey in 1730. Michael Rysbrack's terracotta sketch for the marble statue on the memorial is an imaginary portrait: he may have made the scientist's death mask, but they never met in life. The animated modelling of the clay suggests the turbulence of Newton's mighty mind: at the moment of his greatest celebrity he suffered from transient psychosis. In Newton ideas of the most profound beauty were developed by a disturbed and contrary intellect: the man who turned the Universe into an equation was obsessed by religion and alchemy.

Drinking glass, Ravenscroft, late 17th century. Museum no. C.233-1912
Drinking glass
Late 17th century
Lead crystal
Museum no. C.233-1912
Until George Ravenscroft perfected lead crystal in the late seventeenth century, the English had relied on imported glass from Venice. The form of this glass, with its generous bowl and baluster stem, became established as a type about 1700 and went on, after George I's accession in 1714, to influence what we know as Georgian glass. As a design it works in all sizes, from a shot glass to more ambitious ceremonial styles. Technical limitations influenced the magnificent simplicity of the form. Because lead glass is slow to cool, it had to be manipulated into exactly the robust, simple shapes that appeal so strongly to English taste. Later in the eighteenth century German glasscutters arrived in London, creating more intricate designs that compromised the astonishing purity of this classic shape.

Nicholas Hilliard, 'Young Man Among Roses', 1585-95. Museum no. P.163-1910
Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619)
'Young Man Among Roses'
Possibly Robert Deveraux, 2nd Earl of Essex (1566-1601)
Museum no. P.163-1910
This exquisite, enigmatic Elizabethan fantasy is Nicholas Hilliard's masterpiece: a perfect evocation of a Golden Age of chivalry and literature. To the elegance of the sitter is added the mystery of his identity. Some say he may be the mysterious 'WH' of Shakespeare's sonnets, but the iconography less ambiguously suggests the Earl of Essex, a favourite of the Virgin Queen. The young man's beautiful arcadia is bittersweet: an inscription says 'My infatuation pains me'. Amidst the elegance and luxury is the suggestion of tortured love and the tragic vanity of desires...'Youth's a stuff will not endure', although Hilliard's image of it transcends time.

Head of the Buddha, Bodhisattva, 4th-5th century. Museum no. IM.3-1931
Head of the Buddha, Bodhisattva
Probably Afghanistan
4th-5th century
Lime plaster with traces of paint
Museum no. IM.3-1931
This head of Siddhartha was made in the Buddhist stronghold of Gandhara (in modern Afghanistan) in the fourth or fifth century of the Christian era. The Buddha's serene face (originally painted) is relieved of all nagging emotion. It was made to encourage contemplation of Buddhism's Four Truths. Life is inherently an ugly struggle. This is because we are tormented by desire. So we must eliminate desire and follow the path to Nirvana, the dematerialised condition that approximates to heaven. Buddhism sought beautiful states of mind by rejecting objects...except, that is, the ones that stimulated Buddhist meditation.

'The Miraculous Draught of Fishes', Raphael, 1515-16. Loan from The Royal Collection
Raphael (1483-1520)
'The Miraculous Draught of Fishes' cartoon
Loan from The Royal Collection
Only in the nineteenth century did 'cartoon' come to mean a comical drawing. Hitherto it meant a design, or preliminary sketch. These designs for tapestries were commissioned in Rome in 1515, but brought to London by Charles I for use in his new tapestry workshop at Mortlake. Now they are the greatest body of High Renaissance art outside Italy. Pope Leo X intended the tapestries to be hung in the Sistine Chapel on feast days. This put Raphael in very deliberate competition with Michelangelo, whose ceiling paintings in this part of the Vatican were then assumed to be the highpoint of Roman decoration. If Michelangelo possessed a sublime, almost aggressive force, Raphael was more committed to elegance and a more quiet beauty.

Trinity Capital, the parent company of Los Alamos National Bank, has entered into a stock purchasing agreement with three private equity firms.
Patriot Financial Partners, Strategic Value Bank Partners and Castle Creek Financial Partners will be acquiring a minority stake in LANB through a $52 million recapitalization plan.
President and Chief Executive Officer John Gulas of Trinity Capital and LANB, said the transaction was a good sign for the bank, which is still recovering from the 2008 recession and an ugly episode of financial mismanagement that occurred several years ago.
"We are encouraged that our new investors have confidence in our turnaround efforts," Gulas said. "We believe this new capital enables us to address the most difficult remaining challenge in restoring the company to a safe and sound condition."
When the recapitalization deal is finalized in October, two of the companies, Castle Creek Capital and Patriot Financial, will have one representative each appointed to LANB's board.
Within a year of all parties signing off on the deal, Trinity Capital will also be able to offer current shareholders up to $10 million in stock.
Once the deal is done, the bank will round a corner by putting a rocky decade of alleged fraudulent assets reporting and recession debt behind it.

TRENTON — It was one of the strangest parts of this year's campaign for governor: The Democratic nominee, again and again, railing against Democratic Party bosses she said had cozied up to the Republican governor, calling it "the Boardwalk Empire that is New Jersey politics."
The attack stretched into Barbara Buono's concession speech after being trounced by Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday. "I took one for the team," she said. "The only problem: I realized too late, there was no team."
But the strategy of a Democrat attacking fellow Democrats was pushed by out-of-state consultants connected to the team that helped elect President Obama — and bitterly opposed by Buono's New Jersey advisers, according to three people familiar with the campaign's planning.
The New Jersey Buono backers, who requested anonymity to discuss internal campaign planning and avoid facing retribution, said they believed going after Democratic leaders would further alienate the struggling candidate and make it even more difficult to raise money.
The New Jersey Democrats said while everyone knew the popular Christie was nearly impossible to beat, they said Buono's attacks on "bosses" tarnished the entire state party.
The Buono campaign's consultants work for AKPD Message and Media, a firm founded by David Axelrod, a former top adviser to President Obama. AKPD developed much of Buono's overall strategy.
John Del Cecato, a principal with AKPD who led its work for Buono, said he's happy to own the outsider strategy as something he believed would work.
"Yes, absolutely," he said. "And the reason was simple: It's who Barbara Buono is and always has been. She, in her first race, took on the party machine and won. She had to butt heads with the party bosses many times throughout her career."
Buono, who declined to be interviewed for this story, did indeed clash with many powerful Democrats and has not built many close relationships in Trenton. While she managed to climb to near the top of her party, she was eventually ousted as Senate majority leader.
But for all her attacks on New Jersey political power brokers during the campaign, she was also interested in meeting with them.
Buono had two meetings with Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo early in her campaign. She said she wasn't asking for his support, but DiVincenzo's top aide said that's exactly what she was seeking. He ended up crossing party lines and endorsing Christie.
Buono scheduled meetings with South Jersey power broker George Norcross several times, but none ever occurred — with each canceling some of them, according to her campaign communications director, David Turner.
Asked if Buono's outsider strategy made it easy for Democrats to turn their back on her, Del Cacato replied: "That may be true." More than four dozen Democrats wound up endorsing Christie.
Buono's New Jersey backers also said the consultants ignored pleas to go after big issues that resonate with Jersey voters, such as property taxes and gun control. Turner said the campaign did push jobs and the economy on a regular basis, and he tried to get out there on guns, but gun-control groups would not appear at their events.
Ben Dworkin, director of Rider University's Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics, said lots of factors played into Buono's massive loss to Christie, but going after fellow Democrats didn't help.
"It certainly helps to have unified party support, but it's not automatic," Dworkin said. "If it was a strategy, it wasn't an effective one — she lost by 22."

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, hosted by Branson Wright, as Chuck Yarborough is recovering from yesterday's golf marathon as part of The Plain Dealer Summer Solstice Challenge.
The 2011 NBA Draft is tomorrow, and the Cavaliers have the No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks. But in the second round at No. 32 overall, what should they do if two guards - Cleveland State's Norris Cole and Ohio State's David Lighty - are both available? That's the question we have in today's Starting Blocks poll.
Today's guest is Mary Schmitt Boyer, who calls in from New York, where she is covering the draft. As she battles the NYC street noise, she says Lighty would make a better fit for the Cavs. She also talks about the rumored deal that would send Steve Nash to Minnesota for the No. 2. overall pick; and discusses whether Enes Kanter from Turkey or Jonas Valanciunas from Lithuania will end up in Cleveland at No. 4.
SBTV will return Thursday with more preview coverage of Thursday night's draft.

The secret Investor Blind Date at the Water Tech Invest conference session organised by Isle Utilities and Cleantech Investor on 14 February 2013 was revealed at the event to be Rob Wylie of WHEB Partners.
The winner of the Water Tech 'Investor Blind Date' with Rob (aka Bashful Bob from Archway) was Duncan Collins of Zeropex, who 'competed against Mast Carbon's Steve Tennison and BiAqua's Wilbert Van de Ven.
Duncan Collins is Managing Director of Zeropex UK Ltd and has spent the last 15 years working in the water industry, developing the route-to-market and subsequent sales of capital equipment to the municipal sector. He was a founder of Quay Technologies and MicroDynamics, which was one of the first successful water-technology, VC-funded, cleantech start-ups. This success has been repeated at Zeropex, with the company already delivering multiple hydro projects to the water industry.
Zeropex has developed the Difgen, a patented micro-hydro generator that fits into the water distribution network and converts excess pressure into electricity. The Difgen acts like a pressure-reducing valve, but controls pressure and flow through a rotary lobe turbine linked to a generator; this in turn is controlled through a variable frequency drive. Electricity is generated and converted to suitable frequency and voltage, whilst the utility has better control of pressure to reduce leakage.
The electricity is either renewable energy, when under a natural flow, or recovered energy, when a pumped flow. A typical water utility can reduce its energy bill by up to 20% following installation of a network of Difgens.

I'm building a small server using SUSE 10.3.
I don't mind installing from CD, but the server is a couple miles from
my office, and I don't want to have to drive over there to update or
install new software.
As far as I can tell, the machine needs access to the CD, because if I
install from CD and then later (long after the installation is done)
decide to install an additional package, it often "wants" the CD.
So I need to be able to either
(1) tell it not to ask for the CD but to look for the package in an
online repository, or
(2) copy the CD to the hard drive and tell it that this is now the
source for the information that was on the CD.

It can be lonely at the top... but it can be just as lonely at the bottom, too. Unfortunately for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) , it seems its Windows RT has reached the latter. This week Dell stopped selling its XPS 10 tablet running Windows RT, leaving Microsoft's Surface as the only RT device on the market.
A brief history
Microsoft just refreshed its Surface 2 tablet, and chose to keep the Windows RT operating system running on the device. RT runs a less robust form of Windows, and devices running the system have essentially been shunned by consumers.
Let's quickly recap RT's rocky road:
- Back in January, Samsung stopped its RT tablet pursuits and told CNET, "There wasn't really a very clear positioning of what Windows RT meant in the marketplace, what it stood for relative to Windows 8."
- In July, Lenovo stopped selling its hybrid tablet running RT, and this month a company executive basically said there was no need for the OS to exist.
- In August the CEO of Asus -- the first company to introduce an RT tablet -- told the The Wall Street Journal, "It's not only our opinion, the industry sentiment is also that Windows RT has not been successful." Ouch.
- And finally, this week, Dell joins the masses and says goodbye to Windows RT.
But so what, right? Microsoft can sell its own dadgum Windows RT tablets, right? Not exactly.
In July, Microsoft had to write down $900 million in unsold Surface RTs (the predecessor to Surface 2) units this year because the company miscalculated the demand. Windows RT supporters may point to the company's recent refresh of the Surface tablets as a way to help sell Window RT units, but there's nothing that makes me think consumer demand will magically shift to RT. Manufacturers haven't been able to sell devices running the OS, and Microsoft itself has failed to do so as well.
Microsoft has more than just the Surface 2 to worry about, though. Rumors of a smaller Surface tablet running RT have come out, with a release date expected for next year. A so-called Surface Mini would make a lot of sense, especially considering the research firm IDC expects small tablet sales to continue to increase over the next few years. But judging by the lack of consumer demand for the RT operating system, a Surface Mini RT would be an unwise decision.
A negative side effect
Microsoft isn't the only company that hurts from a lack of Windows RT demand, though. ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH ) was expected to see big benefits from the Windows RT system with Microsoft and other companies selling tablets that would require its chip designs to run the OS. But with every original tablet maker dropping RT and Microsoft struggling to keep the system alive itself, serious benefits for ARM haven't materialized.
At the Mobile World Congress back in February, ARM's CEO Warren East said, "I'm well aware there is a perceived wisdom that RT hasn't been as successful as lots of people thought it was going be. Quite certainly I'm sanguine about it." But that was before all companies running RT dropped the OS and left Microsoft standing alone. ARM certainly has many more mobile pursuits than Windows RT, but the lack of RT sales have still been a big miss for the company. Rival Intel is making inroads in the mobile space, and ARM could have used Windows RT to help fend the company off.
For now, Microsoft has committed itself to Windows RT, and the Surface 2 will start shipping with the OS later next month. Microsoft investors should keep an eye on how the company responds to customer reactions to the Surface 2, and whether it's willing to part ways with the OS when it launches a future Surface Mini. Microsoft may simply keep RT for this product cycle and drop it once it's developed its next tablet OS iteration. But by then, consumers may have already cooled to the idea of a Microsoft tablet.

While Jeffrey Lurie smiles and says all the right things for the TV cameras at Veterans Stadium, his NFL allies in New York are working feverishly behind the scenes to get quick league approval of his purchase of the Eagles.
Timing, of course, is everything here.
With compensation picks for lost free agents, plus their own selections, the Eagles could end up with as many as seven of the first 90 picks in the April 24-25 draft.
And, although outgoing owner Norman Braman said on the day that he sold the Eagles that he would be in the team's war room on draft day, it now is clear that Lurie - and the NFL - want no part of that scenario.

Today was "new shoes" for the Boys. I caved in and put shoes on Marker too, despite trying the barefoot routine. Marker was actually ok without shoes. But it seems that the roads and paths around the barn have more rocks than they used to. Sharp rocks. I hated seeing him walk along the barn road and suddenly fall to the side as he stepped on a stone. I could see the "ouch" in his demeanor. And it limited me on where I could ride. So the shoes are more for his comfort than anything else.
Marker views the farrier's visit as a visit to the horse spa. Who wouldn't enjoy standing in the shade while having your feet cleaned, trimmed, and new shoes fitted? Ahhhh. Just like a spa pedicure. The biggest challenge is to keep Marker from completely falling asleep.
Starman believes the farrier is preventing him from nibbling on that little patch of green grass that's just out of reach…….. He behaves well, standing politely, but takes every opportunity (such as anytime the farrier lets go of his feet) to take a small step and stretch his neck towards the green stuff. His exaggerated casual attitude is entertaining. He clearly is saying – I was actually standing "over here" the whole time. Oh look, he continues, since I'm standing "over here" anyway, it won't be any big deal if I just put my head down and nibble while the farrier is working. To Starman, it just makes sense to pass the time this way. Simply standing politely is pretty boring, after all.
After everyone was finished, I put the Boys back out to play. Below is one of my favorite pictures of them.
The beautiful, black Tennessee Walking Horse on the left is Marker. The mischevious Paint on the right is Starman. I need to get some better shots, but I confess to just being lazy.
Have fun Boys!

MOBILE, Ala. - Oklahoma corner Aaron Colvin crumpled at the end of a one-on-one passing drill in Tuesday afternoon's South team Senior Bowl practice. In the stands, Colvin's agent, Ken Sarnoff, immediately feared the worst.
Sarnoff worked his way down to the field, where an orthopedist on hand already was manipulating Colvin's right knee. It felt loose.
Quickly, Colvin was loaded into a car for transport to an MRI clinic. Sarnoff jumped into his rental car and the caravan sped off.

It depends on the version of WordPerfect and the Version of Office and the level and complication of the document.
And, if so, does WordPerfect Office preserve most of the formatting, or does it essentially just convert it to text?
It depends on the version of WordPerfect and the Version of Office and the level and complication of the document.
No two moments are alike and a person who thinks that any two moments are alike has never lived.
A.J. Heschel
Sorry I didn't specify the versions, but since only MS Office 2007 produces docx and pptx files, this was implied. As for WordPerfect Office, I wasn't expecting anything except the current version (I believe this is X3) to possibly open an Office 2007 docx or pptx file.
Given these versions for the respective tools, will WP Office X3 open Office 2007 docx and pptx?
The "level and complication" of a document is a quite subjective term since different people may have different ideas of what constitutes a "complicated" document. But I would say in general, for the docx assume a document with a table of contents, several pages of text with one main font but with headings that have different font sizes than the body text, and a couple of fairly straightforward tables. For the pptx, assume mostly simple slides but with at least a few graphical charts along the way.
I would check with Corel. I have only started to play to X3 and I have no experience with Office 2007, sorry....
No two moments are alike and a person who thinks that any two moments are alike has never lived.
A.J. Heschel
If you have a copy of WP Office X3, can you try this: In WP, do an 'Open', and in the Open dialog box, there is an optional selection to filter by filetype. Does 'docx' show up as a type of file that can be filtered on? (The associated description would probably say "Word 2007 document" or something like that.)
If WP supports docx, I believe this filetype will show up as a selection here even if you do not have Word 2007 installed on your computer. For example, the corresponding dialog box in MS Word includes some filetypes for which I do not have applications installed on my computer.
Whether the docx filetype selection shows up on the WP Open dialog speaks volumes about whether WP supports opening it. It may not be the final story on how good the conversion is, but it's a start.
If WP can open docx files, my next question would be, does the WP "Save As" dialog show this filetype? WP may support some filetypes where it can open a file but not produce such a file.
(FYI, I'm thinking about buying WP Office, but one of my criteria is that it will have at least rudimentary support for Office 2007 files.)
I contacted Corel Tech support, and they told me that WP Office X3 does not support the MS Office 2007 filetypes but MS Office 2003 files must be used to interface with WP Office X3.

Benziger Sangiacomo Chardonnay 2008
Chardonnay from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Provocative. Sophisticated. Stimulating. Our Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay from Carneros is a signature wine. The individuality of the vineyard, the fingerprint of the vintage and the acumen of the winemaker are joined in each bottle.
Our Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay is a rich, luscious wine with a lovely mouth feel.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Made in the modern, ripe style, but with a greater degree of finesse than you might expect at this price. The wine is dry and crisp and minerally, with a clean mouthfeel, yet offers rich flavors of pineapples, green apples and peaches. Easy to find, with more than 12,000 produced. Editors' Choice"
Benziger Family Winery
The Benziger Family Winery was founded in 1980 on the slopes of Sonoma Mountain. Their Reserve wines showcase those rare lots discovered in the vineyard or developed in the cellar that receive the highest level of care and emerge as the best of the vintage. Benziger also produces Benziger Family wine and the limited production Vineyard Designate wines. At the core of Benziger Winery are eight, same generation family members committed to managing every aspect of grape growing and winemaking. View all Benziger Family Winery Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

I think the Wine Enthusiast write up describes this wine perfectly. Nice crisp fruit with a smooth creamy finish. The grapes for this wine are sustainably farmed so it is good for the earth as well. A win, win!

An elected official in Monroe County is facing drug charges after he's busted for allegedly buying heroin in a bar parking lot. Investigators say the Stroudsburg Borough Councilman confessed to the whole thing and says he's been using the narcotic to treat back pain.
Stroud Area Regional police had their eyes on Kay's Tavern in Stroudsburg Sunday. After getting a tip local Borough Council Vice President Neil Allen had been buying heroin there, court documents say an officer watched a drug deal go down in the parking lot. According to officials, ten baggies of heroin were found in the 34-year-old's pockets. No one came to the door when we knocked at Allen's apartment Wednesday. But his neighbor found the allegations disturbing.
"Shocked to say the least," shared Dawn Shoemaker. "I honestly don't know what else I could possibly say, I'm kind of speechless in fact because I never would have expected that."
She's lived below Allen for less than 8 months.
"Very quiet, keeps to himself, we've never had any issues, always polite whenever we see him."
Allen was arrested Sunday, investigators say he admitted to buying the bundle of smack for $90. He told police he started using heroin six weeks ago because of back pain.
"It doesn't actually surprise me," said Kathleen. "Our officials think they're above the average person."
"It's a shame that he wants to be involved in the town and making decisions and doesn't have the mental clarity to be responsible enough to take care of his own life," added Bill Parkinson.
Allen is charged with purchasing a controlled substance, possessing a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. No word on when he will be in court, or if he'll be suspended from the Borough Council.

State superintendents of schools keep their jobs only at "the will and pleasure" of the West Virginia Board of Education, according to the state constitution. What that means, quite simply, is that if a majority of board members are not happy with a superintendent for any reason, they can terminate her employment.
It appears that is what board members were thinking earlier this month, when they fired former Superintendent Jorea Marple.
After questions were raised about whether the firing was handled legally, board members signalled they may vote again on the matter, perhaps as early as this week, to ensure the decision is binding.
Some of Marple's defenders have demanded she be reinstated. Officials of the state's two teachers' unions have expressed outrage over her termination.
In addition to calls for Marple's firing to be reversed, it has been suggested state legislators should investigate the board's action. Some critics condemn what a majority of board members did as a "power grab."
That makes no sense. The board neither gained nor lost power by firing Marple. Its authority remained precisely the same.
"General supervision" of public schools in the state is the responsibility of the board, according to the state constitution. The superintendent in effect manages schools as directed by state law and the board's guidance.
More than routine management of schools is needed, as many West Virginians recognize. Improvements in education, through a major reform campaign, are essential.
That will require coordinated efforts involving the Legislature and the state board - with specific initiatives under the direction of the state superintendent. All involved will have to be in agreement on goals, strategy and tactics.
Clearly, state board members who voted earlier this month to fire Marple are not confident she is the best person to be in the superintendent's office as part of major reform.
As we noted previously, it would have been appropriate for the state board to be more specific concerning why it has lost faith in Marple's leadership.
Still, if a majority of state board members believe different leadership is needed to make the massive improvements needed in West Virginia schools, they have the authority to make such change. That is beyond reasonable question. So, it may be wise for the board to revisit its action in firing Marple - but only to ensure it was handled legally.

As Milibands popularity apparently plummets and the Labour Party seems to be struggling for a new position in the political spectrum maybe the time has come for the party to return to its roots closer towards Socialism. Consequently there is a debate doing the rounds of our house over what constitutes true socialism (party animal that i am), though as we are pretty much in agreement its more a collusion than a debate. Personally i see socialism as the individual, regardless of status or class, contributing to the greater good of all. I have no problem with big earners in society so long as they pay a fair tax. Given the fact we are all mutually interdependent upon one another then it is in the interests of all to ensure that the state is funded properly and that all strata`s of society are cared for. The play An Inspector Calls is a great example of the growing encroachment of socialism on society v the protectionist conservative rich elite and how we are all socially responsible for each other.
Others see socialism as just spending other peoples money, a quote that Margaret Thatcher made famous. Some see it as just being anti Tory and announce mock offence at every enactment of every Tory policy regardless of its content. Many others see socialism as the state`s responsibility to provide for them regardless of previous or current input into the state. This i see as intolerable and far worse than any Tory policy as it justifies the right wing outlook upon the poor as just taking rather than giving. We all know a sick note at work, always off with dubious health issues but well enough to do the things they enjoy or those claiming disability but well enough to jobs round the house or play on the computer. These sorts of people merely take from the state without contributing yet claim to be socialist the moment the Conservatives want to crack down on it via agencies such as ATOS. What these people don't (or refuse to see) is that if they weren't exploiting the state for what they can get out of it then there would be no need for the contemptuous presence of ATOS or the perfidious influence of Jobseekers. I guess your outlook falls into one of three camps.
Karl Marx: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need
Margaret Thatcher: The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money
Inspector Goole: One Eva Smith has gone – but there are millions and millions and million of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives, and what we think and say and do. We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other

Tuition and Fees
Cost calculator
The UAlberta cost calculator can help you figure out what your actual total cost could be.
Remember to choose "Augustana" as your faculty.
A typical first-year student's fees comprise of tuition & related fees, and residence fees.
Tuition is determined by the number and type of courses you take. Every course at the University of Alberta has a fee index (represented by the (fi=X) beside each course listed in the University Calendar). Most Augustana courses have a fee index of 6, as they are 3-credit courses.
The cost of a course is determined by multiplying the fee index by the University-wide tuition index value.
Tuition calculation example
Audited courses are ½ the cost.
Course fee amounts can be found on the main University of Alberta site:

Take a good look at the magazine rack in your local bookstore or market, and one theme you're likely to see on magazine after magazine is "the latest trend." Yoga was so yesterday; Pilates is the new "now"; we opt for salads over burgers (even at fast-food restaurants), and you better start bringing your canvas tote bag with you to the grocer because taking home your goods in plastic bags is so not politically correct. In a nutshell, we are constantly looking for ways to enhance and update our lifestyles. Some of these trends are influenced by necessity; such as the "go green" effort; others help keep us from becoming bored with sameness.
Imagine the trends your bird would be interested in if it had a say. Perhaps it would sign up for a seminar devoted to enrichment activities or would gladly pay for a "Build-A-Toy" workshop. Some birds would go through cage catalogs and dog-ear mark their dream-cage models. Since many parrots are food connoisseurs, many would tear out recipes and post them on the fridge so as not to forget them. They would want their favorite toy in all five colors, just for the variety, and they would read any article about deciphering human body language, as well as any guide to taming and training its human flock.
Our birds, like us, want the very best in life. The main difference is that our companion birds aren't able to make the changes or additions to their lives like we can to ours. We have to do it for them. Don't think for a moment that once you bring a bird into your home that all you have to do is house and feed it. If you want your bird to thrive, you must become its earnest student as much as its dedicated trainer. You have a pretty big learning curve ahead of you, as you get to know your bird's likes and dislikes. You'll have to come up with a system for expressing to your bird what types of behavior are acceptable and not acceptable while fostering its trust in you.
Sounds like a big job, doesn't it? You've already shown great promise by the fact that you are reading a magazine devoted to birds. You'll soon find tips for deciphering your bird's language and how to foster positive interactions instead of negative ones. You'll learn how to offer your bird a balanced diet and an environment full of enrichment. Most of all, you'll discover how fun and rewarding life with a bird can be.

Animal Behavior College Reviews & Success Stories
Meet Them Yourself!
Jennifer Lockwood
I was in the corporate world of accounting for fifteen years and I finally decided that I was completely bored with my career. I talked it over with my husband and decided that I would love to become a dog
I came to Canada six years ago from Croatia. I have studied English and worked on many jobs during those years. When I decided to go to school, I wanted to find a place where I could do something I liked the most, working with dogs.
I grew up with and worked with compulsion training. As time went on I started to get involved with abused dogs, Rotties in particular. Those of you who know Rotties know they do not respond well to force. A scared, abused adult responds even more poorly to force training. In fact, it can be downright dangerous. I had to build trust with these dogs. In order to do that I needed to greatly modify my training style. My training became a mixture of what I had learned, what I believed and what I intuitively knew.

About 11 years ago, my husband and I were experiencing what experts call the empty nest syndrome. We decided what better way to fill the void than with 4-legged children. The rest was history...we were hooked!!! Naturally we could not have just one dog; two would be awesome as they would keep each other company. Of course no one told us that two would mean double the training and double the trouble, not knowing anything about training. After 30 years as a Professional Nurse / Educator, and holding 3 Degrees I knew I could do it!!! After all, we had raised a child with ADHD to become a successful young woman. We figured all was needed was a basic puppy training class and my dogs would be miraculous wonder dogs. As you might guess, I soon realized that training myself was critical since I was now committed to caring for these precious family members and this was a lifetime commitment.

I grew up in a loving home where animals were a huge part of our family. All my life, I knew that dogs were going to be part of my career. It took me a while to figure out how I could apply my skills with animals into my everyday life and make a living out of it.
Hi, my name is Carol and this is my wonderful 9 year old Sheltie, Major. I have always loved being around animals and dogs in particular. I first got the idea to train to work full-time with dogs from my sister-in-law and brother-in-law who both vocalized that they felt I had, a way with dogs. I started to look at various options for my studies and found ABC online. After research I decided that ABC was the perfect fit for me. Being a stay at home mom of 2, I was able to set my own study times, work at home from my computer, get any help I needed from a simple email and I found the course was affordable. The materials from ABC were challenging and well set out and I really enjoyed and learned a lot during my favorite stage, the hands-on portion of the course. My Mentor Trainer was Mike Musso, a wonderfully talented trainer, and I feel blessed to have been able to learn from him. I hope to continue my studies and ultimately work with service dogs. Thank you ABC for a great start!

As far back as I can remember, I have always felt comfortable working and training dogs. I knew what I really wanted to do in this life is help shelter dogs and owners who were having problems with their dog. I wasnt sure how to start in the right direction of my goals until I found out about Animal Behavior College. With their extensive and informative material grouped with the externship and volunteer work makes this a very well rounded program.

I live in rural Central Wisconsin on an 80 acre farm with my husband, Hank, and my Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, Buster. I retired a couple of years ago after 26 plus years of Federal Government service. Ive always loved animals of all kinds, but Im especially fond of dogs. I wanted to volunteer at the local County Animal Shelter but was afraid if I did, Id start bringing too many of the critters home with me.
Dogs have been a passion of mine ever since I was five years old. I started training for fun and for friends. After a few years of this, I decided I would like to make dog training my full time living. I already had a deep knowledge of dog training concepts and knew a lot about dogs, but I wanted to expand my knowledge so I could offer well rounded, professional training services to people in my area. That's when I found Animal Behavior College.
My name is April Van Iseghem and these are my three dogs. Tavern is a male Cocker Mix, Gunner is a male German Shorthair and Rilley is my special Pitt Bull. I have had a love for animals since I was old enough to hold them. I always had cats growing up; my parents did not want a dog. They always said they were too much work! As I agree with now. When I was 14, my mom and I drove past a sign that said, Puppies $30.00, we went to look and ended up with a Black Lab/Dalmatian mix. When he was a pup, we took him to dog training classes, which led to me getting him CGC certified and later Agility. I would have to say from that moment on I wanted a job that dealt with dogs.

Adam Spaulding successfully defended his PhD thesis, "Secreted Virulence Factors in Lethal Illness caused by Staphylococcus aureus," on Monday, April 29, 2013. Spaulding is pictured here with his mentor, Patrick Schlievert, PhD.
Staphylococcus aureus causes significant illnesses throughout the world, including toxic shock syndrome (TSS), pneumonia, and infective endocarditis. Major contributors to S. aureus illnesses are secreted virulence factors it produces, including superantigens and cytolysins. Rabbit cardiac physiology is considered similar to humans, and rabbits exhibit susceptibility to S. aureus superantigens and cytolysins. As such, rabbits are an excellent model for studying pneumonia, infective endocarditis, and sepsis.
We examined the ability of USA200, USA300 and USA400 strains to cause vegetations and lethal sepsis in rabbits. USA200, TSST-1+ strains that produce only low amounts of α-toxin, exhibited modest LD50 in sepsis colony-forming units (CFUs), and 3/4 caused significant IE. In contrast, USA300 strains were highly effective in causing lethal sepsis but were minimally capable of causing IE. USA400 strains were both highly lethal and highly effective causes of IE.
We also investigated the use of superantigens and cytolysins as staphylococcal vaccine candidates. Immunization of rabbits against toxoid variants of these superantigens and cytolysins provided complete protection from highly lethal pulmonary challenge with USA100, USA200, USA300 and USA400 S. aureus strains. Immunization against these exotoxins also protected rabbits from infective endocarditis and lethal sepsis. Passive immunization using pooled sera protects previously non-immunized rabbits from lethal pneumonia due to MNPE. These data suggest that immunization against toxoid proteins of S. aureus exotoxins protects from serious illnesses.
Adam was born in upstate New York and grew up in the city of Jacksonville, FL, graduating from Bartram Trail High School in 2003. He then moved to Athens, GA, to pursue undergraduate studies at the University of Georgia. While attending UGA, he studied genetic transfer and DMSP catabolism in Roseobacter spp. in Mary Ann Moran's laboratory for two years, as well as working with Sidney Crow on fungal metabolism at Georgia State University. Additionally, Adam worked at Vistakon, a Johnson & Johnson company, developing an anti-microbial contact lens. Adam received his B.S. in Microbiology in 2007.
Adam entered the University of Minnesota's Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology PhD program in August 2008, joining Pat Schlievert's laboratory in Spring 2009 to begin research on Staphylococcus aureus superantigens and cytolysins. In August of 2011, the lab migrated to The University of Iowa, which they now call home. As a graduate student, he has published three first-author papers: One on the development of a vaccine against S. aureus; one on the comparison of S. aureus isolate to cause sepsis and infective endocarditis; and a review on superantigens. Adam currently has a first-author paper on additional vaccine development against S. aureus in preparation to be submitted to Nature Medicine. Adam has been fortunate to present his work at several meetings, including the 2012 ASM Conference, where he received a travel grant and an award for outstanding student poster; he has presented a poster at the Great Lakes Regional Center for Excellence in Biodefense and Infectious Diseases annual meeting on three occasions. He also attended the 2012 ASM Kadner Institute. Adam has been supported by the NIH and GLRCE.
Outside of lab, Adam is an avid supporter of the Georgia Bulldogs. He spends his time home-brewing, cooking with his wife, Kelsey, riding his bike, and playing guitar. Adam is a SCUBA diver, an ocean enthusiast, and (when he can get to one) general beach bum.
After finishing his work at The University of Iowa, Adam will be moving to North Carolina to begin a postdoctoral position with Rita Tamayo at UNC Chapel Hill to study the colonization-virulence transition of Clostridium difficile.

Hazardous duty at World Series game 6 for DMN photographer Louis DeLuca
St. Louis Cardinals David Freese almost falls into the photo well where Dallas Morning News staff photographer Louis DeLuca was shooting World Series game six. You can see Louis at the lower left of the photo. Thankfully for the photographers, Freese didn't fall into the well.
A similar event happened to me last year during the ALDS in Tampa Bay. You can find that post here.

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and key members yesterday announce the partys decision to support the draft constitution. They say rejecting the charter would give the junta more power.
The Democrat Party yesterday spoke out in support of the constitution draft, saying rejecting it would give the junta more power.
Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva announced the party's stance following a meeting of its constitution working committee.
Abhisit said the party considered the new constitution similar to the 1997 charter, but with improvements for public rights and political participation.
Speaking to a news conference after the meeting, Abhisit said the overall structure of the draft was similar to the 1997 version, especially provisions related to civil rights and liberties, independent organisations and the parliamentary system.
But, the new document will tackle political problems that emerged during the term of the previous charter and there are better protections for civil rights and liberties, he said.
Abhisit added the draft provided for public checks and balances through parliament while enhancing voter participation by making it easier for them to seek impeachment of politicians as well as propose new laws.
He said it tackled some of the drawbacks of the 1997 Constitution by allowing non-university degree holders to contest elections and Cabinet members to sit in the House.
It will improve state spending and enhance local administrations, he said.
The Democrats will prepare a statement of charter pros and cons and distribute it to members. "This won't be a campaign for or against the draft but simply information about the good and the bad [points] of the charter," Abhisit said.
He denied the party was trying to curry favour with the junta. "If we wanted to please the Council for National Security we would reject the draft so it could pick a charter of its own choosing.
"If we reject the draft, it will be like handing out power to the council. We have come up with this stand because we care about the national interest and want democracy to be restored soon," he said.
Abhisit said a referendum rejection would delay an election by at least a month.
Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, meanwhile, denied soldiers would be out drumming up voter support for the referendum.
"It's not true," Surayud said in response to allegations made by Chaturon Chaisang, leader of the Thai Rak Thai Group.
"We are not trying to influence the outcome of the referendum." He had met provincial people and said they wanted an election soon.
"But, an election must come after the referendum," Surayud said.
The prime minister added a referendum law would not force voters to exercise their right.
Thai Rak Thai spokesman, Kuthep Saikrajang, said it had appointed Surapong Sueb-wonglee to run its anti-draft campaign.
The Thai Rak Thai believes the draft is "less democratic and less advanced than the 1997 Constitution" and will weaken the political power of the next government.
He said the next elected government would likely be a flimsy coalition easily influenced by the military. The draft gives too much power to the bureaucracy, too, he added.
Kuthep called on junta leader Sonthi Boonyaratglin to stop alleging the Thai Rak Thai paid anti-coup protesters Bt500 each.
In a related development, Interior Minister Aree Wong-searaya said the Constitution Drafting Assembly could ask his ministry to publicise the referendum.

For decades, globalists and libertarian free trade ideologues have been telling us that free trade has been "good" for America, that it's a traditional conservative/Republican policy, and that any suggestion that America should protect its industry – i.e. protectionism – is a Big Government policy and a betray of "free market principles".

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: North Korea vs South Korea
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one may be worth more. As a humble blogger, I can tell you it's not hard to type 1000 or even 2000 words, but it is difficult to make them compete with a picture like this: This is the difference between North and South Korea on a given night. ...Read More »
