Andreas Schwab presenting his lecture 'The breasts of truth. Harald Szeemann and the Monte Verità'
Maria Pask proposes a collective exercise: to realize the 14's instructions written by Victor Burgin in 1970. "If you adhere to the work's 14 instructions, which ask you to recall past and present encounters, actions and emotions, the imaginary performance quickly takes you to the upper limits of your imaginative powers" (M.Pask). And we tried... :)

ON Residency 's public presentation -Programme of April 28
2012-04-25 10:49:38
On Saturday 28 April, the programme begins at 2pm with a performance by artist Elsbeth Ciesluk. This takes place in the space of 'Spaziando (met de hande zien)', the large net created by guest artist Paola Anziché during her earlier stay at SYB at the beginning of April. Drawing from her past work, the artist will interact with Anziché's net to give shape once more to her "obsessions for repetition and being a one-man factory".
Following the performance, prof. Andreas Schwab's lecture 'The breasts of truth. Harald Szeemann and the Monte Verità' will introduce the history of Monte Verità, the mountain in Ascona, Switzerland, that has attracted several thinkers, writers, dancers and practitioners from different fields since the end of the 19th century. Inspired by anarchistic and socialist visions, the inhabitants of this colony advocated a closer contact with nature and practiced alternative models of living, such as vegetarianism and naturism. In his lecture, Schwab will describe the ideas and the protagonists of the early times of the colony, as well as the impact that its history had on curator Harald Szeemann, who dedicated the large traveling exhibition 'Monte Verità – le mammelle della verità / Die Brüste der Wahrheit' to Monte Verità in 1978.
After this lecture, artist Maria Pask and members of the Reading Group will present 'Re-reading Little Millet', a new reading of the script she wrote for 'Little Millet', a film she made in 2009. The film records fragments of conversation between an empty building and the younger self of American author and feminist activist Kate Millet. Best known for her 1970 dissertation, 'Sexual Politics', Kate Millet started buying and restoring farm property near Poughkeepsie, New York to use as a bolthole. The project became the Women's Art Colony Farm, a community of female artists and writers, where she currently earns a living selling Christmas trees and screen prints.
For 'On Residency', on Thursday 26 April and Friday 27 April, Pask will guide a collective reading of the script she wrote for 'Little Millet'. The results of those sessions will be presented to the public on Saturday 28 April.
The reading sessions take place at SYB on 26 April at 4pm and on 27 April at 5pm and are open to all. If you wish to attend, please contact A. Serino or SYB.

Production and Residency: an Interview with Irmeli Kokko
2012-04-21 00:01:18
(..) "The concept of production" can be substituted with the concept of "project", which describes "production" as a more open-ended process – rather than the word "product", which has in it a certain tone of an expected result. The reference could be the French word "projeté" (Jean-Baptiste Joly), which means throwing a projection in front. The group wanted to emphasise the meaning of "open-ended" processes in connection with residencies. Also, the discussed metaphoric words of "raw, cooked and packed" were seen to illustrate the production process, with different phases consisting of research, production and distribution. The production in residencies should concentrate on the first two phases – raw and cooking equates to research and production. The production process in residencies should include time for pre-research and creation with risk, which means the right to fail or to change plans during the residency process. Production residencies should carry out such projects, which cannot be realised inside the institutional framework like museums. (...) [I.Kokko]

Als introductie op het werk van gast-kunstenaar Paola Anziche, wordt zijn film "Sur le traces di Lygia Clark" ((Italië 2011), 26min.)
Between 1970 and 1975, Lygia Clark, a Brazilian painter and sculptress who was one of the founders of the Grupo Frente – the collective which revolutionized the world of the plastic arts in the mid-1950s – was asked to hold a series of lessons about sign language, entitled "The Gesture and Communication", at the Sorbonne in Paris. Using material from the time, colleagues, artists, photographers and gallery owners reconstruct that experience and their relationship with the work and the person. "This film is based on the initial idea of sharing, from a circumscribed and microcosmic point of view, our embryonic reflections on the dimension of the ephemeral and of memory, and their overlapping in art. I wanted to freely re-interpret the few images that are still available of Lygia Clark's lessons and the suggestions they spark, using a filmic language that brings together the different dimensions and planes of reality, the imaginary and the re-imagined."

Amsterdam-based artist Maria Pask investigates in her project-based work the collective creativity, empowerment and the position of the individual in the community. In 2009, Pask realized "Little Millet", a ?lm that records fragments of conversation between an empty building and the younger self of American author and feminist activist Kate Millet. Best known for her 1970 dissertation "Sexual Politics", Kate Millet started buying and restoring farm property near Poughkeepsie, New York to use as a bolt-hole. The project became the Women's Art Colony Farm, a community of female artists and writers where she currently earns a living selling Christmas trees and screen prints.
For ON Residency, Pask will guide a collective reading-session of the script she wrote for "Little Millet" on Thursday April 26 and Friday April 27. The results of those sessions will be presented to the public on Saturday 28.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling very Olympic these days. With the Opening Ceremony starting things off Friday night, we are all just a triple lutz jump, a double cork 1080 and a final bell lap away from a gold medal … give or take a few hundredths of a second.
A few weeks ago I decided to prepare myself for the event by watching a few Olympic-themed movies as I did my daily walk to nowhere on the treadmill. A quick foray into my videotape collection yielded two likely titles.
The first movie I watched was "Miracle," the story of the United States 1980 hockey team that, against all odds won the gold medal, defeating the invincible Russian team. I love the part where Coach Brooks tells his team, "If we play 'em 10 times, they might win nine. But NOT this game … Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world."
And, as I plodded along on my treadmill, I believed Herb Brooks. My wife also believed that a sweating, blubbering man wearing pajamas and his old hockey helmet coming up from the exercise room in the basement was not her vision of her husband in his Golden Years.
And that brings us to my second Olympic-preparatory movie, "Cool Runnings." This story takes place at the 1988 Winter Olympic in Calgary, Canada. Four Jamaican lads and their coach, a washed-up American bobsledder, find each other and set off for the Olympics. With gold medal dreams, they show up at Calgary hoping to win without a sled and with zero experience on real ice. The only unrealistic elements this Disney plot was missing was a VW named Herbie and a flying elephant named Dumbo.
But somehow, as the movie unfolded, I bought into their dream. Of course, the Jamaican bobsled team didn't win a gold medal. In fact, their dream ended in an 80-mile-per-hour ice-scraping crash that left them lying sideways near the end of the course. So there were no victory tears for me like in "Miracle." But, nevertheless, there were tears.
You see, in the movie, after the crash the boys got out of their bobsled and began to carry it on their shoulders toward the finish line. The stunned spectators suddenly realized what was really happening. This was not about a gold medal. It never really was.
Now, I'm not going to wax poetic about this, but I'll never forget what their coach told one of the boys before the big race. He said, "A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not good enough without it, you'll never be good enough with it."
Then the young man asked, "Coach, how will I know if I'm good enough?" The coach answered, "When you cross that line, you'll know."
Geesh. When they crossed that finish line carrying their bobsled, I certainly knew they were good enough. And, better yet, I think they did, too.
So, with another torrent of tears, I stepped off my treadmill. I thought about victoriously carrying it upstairs to imitate the Jamaicans, and I could have done it if it was a four-man treadmill, but, alas, my wife had to settle for a sweating, blubbering man speaking in a Jamaican accent.
Thus ended my personal Olympic trials. I have now qualified to sit in my Amish glider chair and watch the games with continued amazement and admiration. And maybe with a few more tears.
Oh, and by the way, when the bobsled competition starts a week from Sunday on Feb. 16, don't be surprised when you see a two-man team from Jamaica. So get ready to feel da rhythm, feel da rhyme, get on up, it's bobsled time! Cool runnings, mon … peace be the journey.

Summer is often associated with going to the beach, and having fun with your children in the sun, surf and sand.
Understanding your child's sensory needs will make the experience even more enjoyable.
The tactile child will take great delight in playing in the openness of the beach. As soon as their feet are on the sand they will had grab a shovel and start digging to create holes and tunnels and castles. It can be hard to get the sunscreen on them, so having sun-protective shirts, shorts and large hats is important. Try to apply sunscreen before heading to the beach as once they are there, it will be difficult for them to stand still. Buckets, spades, beach balls and boogie boards are all things tactile children will use endlessly.
For younger tactile children they will often need a place to wash their hands. Touch is so important to these children that they often get frustrated when they can't get the sand off. Bring a spare bottle of tap water to rinse their hands or fill a bucket with fresh water so they can dip their hands when need be.
Visual children will be very aware of their clothes, towels, and beach play things. They will take great care in laying out their belongings, carefully deciding where to place their towel and build the sandcastle. They can tend to be a little bossy and will take some time to learn that the beach is a more relaxed communal environment where children share spades and buckets, and building projects.
Visual children can find the lack of control, and the sand kicked on to their towels and toys, frustrating. Often they will need to take themselves off for a while to calm down, where they can watch from a distance, before rejoining the group.
Auditory children will find the sounds of the beach very relaxing. They will love being able to chat while playing with others and building sand castles. They will enthusiastically squeal as the waves wash over their feet and as they splash around in the water. It can be difficult for them to remember to tone down their noise so they will need to be reminded, in a gentle way. They will often get upset when splashed in the face.
Auditory children don't like getting their ears wet and especially dislike the feeling of water in the ears. This can be hard for old siblings and friends to understand, and this is often the source of many water disagreements. You will find that auditory children will love to experiment with the sound in their surroundings; holding a shell up to their ear, turning their head in various directions to listen to the changes in the waves crashing or to the children playing way down the other end of the beach.
Taste and smell children love the family aspect of the beach. They love playing together as a group and enjoy interacting with their parents in the low stress environment. Once on the beach, unlike other children, they will tend to hang back and observe for a while. A chair to sit under a big umbrella will be perfect to help them feel at ease. Being very sensitive to changes in environment, they will need this time to adjust. Once having done so, they will join the various beach activities with enthusiasm especially if Mommy or Daddy take part.
Make sure they wear a hat, and allow them some choice with the sunscreen used. They are sensitive to the smell and feel of products on their face, so you may need to experiment with different brands and methods of application to find one that suits.

Obama in Mexico to meet with N. American leaders
TOLUCA, Mexico President Barack Obama sought to reassure leaders of Mexico and Canada of his commitment to new trade agreements between Asia, the Pacific and the Americas, even as he faces political resistance in the U.S. from members of his own Democratic party.
Obama arrived Wednesday in the industrial center of Toluca, about 40 miles west of Mexico City, for the start of a one-day North American Leaders Summit. Flanked by his trade negotiator and top Cabinet secretaries, Obama stepped off Air Force One and onto a red carpet to be welcomed by an honor guard. Cloudless skies and warm breezes set a sunny mood as Obama walked to his limo to be shuttled to an ornate government complex nearby.
Obama opened his trip with a bilateral meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, a discussion the U.S. leader said would focus in part on how to advance the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade bloc of 12 countries in the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.
The one-day meeting is being overshadowed by the violence that erupted half a world away in Ukraine as the government of President Viktor Yanukovych cracks down on protesters in Kiev. During brief remarks at the start of his meeting with Pena Nieto, Obama said the United States condemned the violence in Ukraine in the strongest terms.
Officials said the U.S. was weighing its options against those responsible for the violence, including consulting with the European Union on the use of sanctions. Its not the first of Obamas foreign travel to be eclipsed by unrelated events.
The summit occurs on the 20th year of the North American Free Trade Agreement among the three countries, a deal that has vastly expanded cross-border commerce in the region but that remains a contentious issue in the United States over its impact on jobs and on environmental protections.
Trade experts say the agreement is due for an upgrade to take into account the current globalized environment and to address issues not touched in the original pact. But rather than reopen NAFTA, the three countries are instead relying on negotiations underway to complete the TPP pact.
The Obama administration is hoping those negotiations are completed this year. The U.S. is also in the midst of negotiations over a Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union. But the president is facing stiff election-year resistance from Democratic leaders over his desire to get fast track trade authority, which would require Congress to give yes-or-no votes on the trade agreements without the opportunity to amend them.
He is pursuing an agreement TPP that explicitly protects American workers and the environment and that he believes would be highly beneficial to our economy and the middle class, White House spokesman Jay Carney said. Thats the conversation he has and others have with lawmakers of both parties.
Obama is sure to get quizzed by Pena Nieto on his prognosis for overhauling U.S. immigration laws, an issue of intense attention by Mexicans both in Mexico and in the United States.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Restaurant brands' response to President Obama's call for a raise in the federal minimum wage thus far has been muted, but industry watchers said the proposal would likely cause labor pains for foodservice companies if it becomes law. In his Feb. 12 State of the Union address, President Obama suggested the federal rate move from $7.25 per hour to $9 per hour. The federal minimum wage was raised to $7.25 in 2009, while the federal tipped minimum wage for servers has remained ...

Compact System Cameras have firmly established themselves as credible
DSLR alternatives, and Nikon, Samsung and Sony are already releasing
second and third-generation models. The Nikon J2, Samsung NX1000 and
Sony NEX-F3 cameras are all within £100 of each other and appeal to a
similar audience, so how do they compare?
Nikon J2
While the Nikon 1 J2 offers a 10.1MP sensor, the Sony F3 ups this to 16.1MP and the Samsung NX1000 even further to 20.3MP. The latter two cameras spread these pixels over an APS-C area, while the J2 makes do with a 13.2×8.8mm sensor, which means that its pixels are significantly smaller by comparison.
Sony NEX-F3
The kit optics supplied with each camera differ too. The J2's 10-30mm lens provides an effective focal range of 27-81mm, while the NX1000's 20-50mm offers a slightly narrower 31-77mm range. The NEX-F3 comes with a more standard 18-55mm lens – an effective range of 27-83mm. The Samsung lens is the only one without optical image stabilisation, and as the NX1000 body doesn't have it either it means this particular combination is left completely unstabilised.
All three models offer both Raw and JPEG capture modes, and each provides manual control over exposure. A collection of exposure adjustment options is also provided on each model: the Sony F3 offers the Dynamic Range Optimizer which has long-featured on Alpha models, while the J2 Nikon similarly provides Active D-lighting and the NX1000 has a Smart Range Option for the same purpose.
Samsung NX1000
As expected, full HD video recording is possible on each model, although the three do vary slightly in how they record. Impressively, the Nikon J2 even offers 400fps and 1200fps slow motion capture modes, although very much at the expense of resolution.
All three cameras have a 3in LCD screen on their rear, each resolving details with 921k dots. Of the trio, only the F3 offers an articulated display, which can be lifted over a full 180° angle to face the front, which, as Sony states, makes it ideal for self-portraits.
Sony NEX-F3
The other two have their unique selling points elsewhere: the NX1000's ace card is its wireless functionality, which allows images to be emailed, shared on social networking sites and uploaded to cloud storage, none of which is possible on the other two cameras.
Another of its strengths is the iFunction control (available with compatible lenses, the 20-50mm kit lens being one of them), which allows commonly-accessed settings to be changed simply through a rotation of the lens's focusing ring.
Nikon J2
Not to be outshone, the J2's electronic shutter allows for a maximum shutter speed of 1/16,000sec – useful when using wide-aperture lenses in bright conditions – while the Smart Photo Selector captures 20 frames before and after the shutter is released to ensure a moment is not missed.
However, its 60fps burst mode is its most impressive feature, though the focus and exposure are fixed from the first frame. Sadly, the depth in this mode is only 12 images; otherwise continuous autofocus during burst recording is available at a rate of 10fps.
Samsung NX1000
Neither of the other two cameras is a slouch here, though; the NX1000 can capture at 8fps while the F3's 5.5fps (in the fixed-AF Speed Priority mode) capability promises 18 fine JPEG frames, 7 Raw frames or a combination of the two at 6fps, all of which depends on the type of memory card used.
All three cameras accept the family of SD media cards, with the Sony also supporting the Memory Stick format. All can also output images and videos through either USB or HDMI means.
Sony NEX-F3 vs Samsung NX1000 vs Nikon J2 – Design
Even with the few similarities between the design of the three models, such as the rotating menu pad dial and dedicated movie-record button, each offers a different combination of aesthetics, handling and operation. The J2, for example, is the only model to lack a grip of any sort; this allows for a more streamlined design at the expense of comfortable handling. The grips on the other two are defined and substantial, with each bearing a slight texture for a secure hold. This texture seems to make more sense on the F3's grip, as it's far too smooth on the NX1000's grip to make any significant difference.
Samsung NX1000
The build quality of each camera is as high as expected for such models, with predominantly plastic bodies complemented with a handful of metal details, although it's the Samsung NX1000 which seems keen to keep things as plastic as possible. This extends to the kit lenses of each camera, with the Samsung NX 20-50mm optic having both plastic mount and outer casing, and the Nikon 10-30mm improving this with a metal ring around its front. Only the Sony 18-55mm lens boasts an all-metal outer casing and metal mount.
Nikon J2
With its mode dial and button-laden rear, the NX1000 is keen on providing all main shooting options by way of physical controls. For this reason it's perhaps most suited to those used to the control of a DSLR or bridge camera. The NEX-F3's lack of buttons and external labelling means that selecting these same functions is more of a menu-based affair, while the J2 fits somewhere in between, with a smart, minimal top-plate and front contrasted by a range of physical controls on the rear. It's a shame, however, that manual and semi-manual exposure options are not included on the J2's mode dial itself, with these accessed through the menu system instead (particularly as half of the rear dial is left unoccupied by options of any kind).
Sony NEX-F3
These external differences are mirrored in the structure and design of each camera's graphic user interface. The J2's continuous stream of options and the division of these into just three sub-menus makes it the easiest to navigate with the menu-pad dial, while the F3's six sub-menus means selecting the desired setting takes a bit more effort. The NX1000 strikes a happy medium, with a slightly more complex menu structure than the J2 but the bonus of an Fn screen which herds all common options into one screen for quick access.
Sony NEX-F3 vs Samsung NX1000 vs Nikon J2 – Performance
The honour of best display goes to the Nikon J2. Not only is it the most fluid and responsive out of the three, but its viewing angle is also noticeably better than the others, particularly the NX1000 which is disappointingly poor in this respect. The NX1000's display is perceptibly brighter than the F3's, which makes it easier to see the scene, although details on the F3's screen have noticeably more definition (similar to the J2's), even if this does introduce some minor false colour patterning in particularly fine areas.
Sony NEX-F3
The J2 also manages the best overall focusing performance, with less delay when bringing subjects into focus. This is perhaps due to the Hybrid AF system which combines both phase- and contrast-detection AF through an unorthodox sensor construction (the other two cameras employ a more standard contrast-detect AF system). With their respective kit lenses the J2 also focuses the quietest, with the F3 not too far behind and the Samsung once again taking last place. This may not seem important, but for the many situations where discretion is key it's worth considering.
Samsung NX1000
Each camera's kit lens is also very differently designed. The NX1000's 20-50mm optic and the Nikon's 10-30mm lens share a locking feature whereby the inner barrel can be safely stowed away inside the outer barrel when not in use. On the NX1000's 20-50mm lens, the manual focus ring is also used as part of the iFunction functionality. It is used to cycle through various shooting options – just as well, as it's fairly easy to turn, in comparison with the Sony's 18-55mm manual focus ring, whose stiffness may admittedly be preferred by some when focusing manually. Nikon's 10-30mm objective is the only one out of the triplet of lenses not to incorporate a focus ring, and the choice of dimpled rubber for its zoom ring is curious in that it's considerably less tactile than the ribbed plastic and metal alternatives on the other two lenses.
Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, Samsung 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 and Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6
The fact that image stabilisation is offered by neither the Samsung NX1000 nor its 20-50mm lens means that in certain situations where the F3 and J2 indicate no risk to image blur, these will be more problematic for the NX1000. It's unfortunate that although the NX1000 comes supplied with a small hotshoe-mounted flash (which would obviously be of benefit in low-light conditions) it's the only model not to have it conveniently integrated into the body itself.
Samsung NX1000
The NX1000's lack of image stabilisation is also relevant when recording videos, with clips from the NX1000 appearing jerky in comparison with those captured by the other two camera/lens combinations. The J2's on-board microphone shows itself to be more sensitive than the others, and with better overall sound quality when played back, with the F3's microphone coming second and the NX1000's slightly more muffled sound putting it in last place.
Nikon J2
Something which becomes very apparent during use is the difference in write times between the three cameras; while the J2 and F3 happily flush away a single Raw+JPEG image within a couple of seconds to a Class 10 SDHC card, the NX1000 takes around five to six seconds to perform the same task. Naturally, this increases following a burst of images, with just three Raw+JPEGs often taking over 20 seconds to fully process. This is possibly the camera's most annoying attribute, and definitely something to bear in mind if you envisage using the continuous shooting mode often.
Sony NEX-F3
All three cameras have the ability to shoot panoramic images in one continuous pan of the scene. The NX1000 helpfully displays the stitching as you go. Both the J2 and the F3 stitch these together in a matter of seconds, although the latter camera uses its physical shutter to do so which makes it less discreet during capture. All three manage to process these in a matter of seconds, and the Samsung helpfully displays the image as it is stitched, but it's also the only camera not to play the image in a video-like fashion which is a little disappointing.
Samsung NX1000
Finally, the NX1000's wireless functionality works well, quickly connecting to local networks and uploading images to social networking sites with little fuss. Although the other two cameras lack this functionality, they can be used with Eye-Fi cards to achieve the same aim, although this would be an additional expense.
Sony NEX-F3 vs Samsung NX1000 vs Nikon J2 – Image Quality
Image Quality
Colour and white balance
The F3's Auto White Balance is a little warm in natural light, and JPEG colours are overall the most saturated. The Samsung NX1000 produces pleasingly saturated colours in its Raw files, although JPEGs of the same files are flat and uninspiring when captured on default settings. Admittedly, colours can be adjusted in camera to taste, and as the images above show, this neutrality isn't always a bad thing. The J2 appears to strike a happy balance between its rivals, with just the occasional tendency to give neutral areas a cold green tinge under certain circumstances.
Nikon J2, Samsung NX1000, Sony NEX-F3
While the Sony NEX-F3 is slightly more prone to underexposure, and the Samsung NX1000 to overexposure, the J2 is perhaps the most consistent in producing balanced and pleasing images, with no bias of any kind. Indeed, the dense shadowy results in some of the NEX-F3's images can be as appropriate as the slightly brighter results from the NX1000 in others.
Nikon J2, Samsung NX1000, Sony NEX-F3
The Nikon J2 resolves the least detail out of the three cameras, and as sensitivity is increased it struggles to maintain resolution, as image noise and noise reduction take hold. The sensor inside the NX1000 delivers plenty of detail, while the F3 comes closely behind.
Image noise
Sadly, the one area where the J2 can't keep up is
with image noise, which should come as little surprise on account of its
smaller pixels. Even at lower sensitivities and in well-lit conditions,
the camera produces noise where the others don't. The lower resolution
of its sensor next to the others also has an impact on the detail in an
image; of course, this isn't generally an issue if keeping to
print and web-viewing sizes, but the fact remains that there's
significantly more detail in images from the other two cameras. It's
also unsurprising to see the Sony F3 control blooming the best,
considering its pixel-to-sensor-area ratio.
Nikon J2, Samsung NX1000, Sony NEX-F3
Raw and JPEG
The NX1000's Raw files – while detailed – are fairly soft, although the JPEGs are given a considerable boost in sharpness. The Nikon J2's Raw and JPEG files are far more consistent by comparison, being moderately sharp in the former and just a touch sharper in the latter, with the Sony F3 images showing precisely the same thing. The J2's JPEGs are most affected by chromatic aberration in the edges of the frame. Of course, this changes as different lenses are used, although most people will no doubt be using the camera with the supplied kit lens.
Kit lens performance
The F3's 18-55mm lens sees good sharpness in the centre of the frame let down by disappointingly soft edges and corners which only improves at f/8 and smaller. Samsung's 20-50mm lens not only controls sharpness well across the frame, but also does well to control distortion at its wide end. The other two lenses show pronounced barrel distortion at their widest focal lengths.
Sony NEX-F3 vs Samsung NX1000 vs Nikon J2 – Value
At £400 with its 18-55mm kit lens, the Sony NEX-F3 is currently the cheapest of the three models, with the Samsung NX1000 and Nikon J2 priced at £480 and £500 respectively for their own kit options. Given the resolution of its screen, focusing performance and lack of image stabilisation over the others, the NX1000 may appear somewhat overpriced, although the premium is perhaps justified in part by the higher-resolution sensor and inclusion of wireless functionality.
Although the Nikon J2 is also considerably more expensive than the Sony F3, its similarity to its J1 predecessor means that it's well worth considering that older model, particularly as it can now be found for around £160 less than the J2. True, you'd miss out on the improved display, metallic body and the Creative Mode, but considering the significant saving some will no doubt be happy to make those sacrifices.
Although it's not quite the cheapest CSC available – Panasonic's G3 and Olympus's EPL-3 both being cheaper yet still credible competitors – the Sony F3 appears as the bargain option out of the three. Anyone interested would also be advised to also consider its NEX-5N sibling which is only around £20 dearer at present, as it has the advantage of a faster burst rate, wider ISO range and, if indeed it's considered to be an advantage, touchscreen operation. If wireless functionality is of interest, Sony's latest wireless-enabled NEX-5R and NEX-6 models are also worth considering.
Sony NEX-F3 vs Samsung NX1000 vs Nikon J2 – Verdict
If this test proves anything it's the suitability of different Compacts System Cameras to different requirements. In use it appears as though the Nikon J2 walks over the other two in many areas, but closer examination of its images shows just why Nikon has limited the resolution to 10.1MP. The other two cameras each have charms and foibles in equal measure. The NX1000 may not produce the most dynamic and pleasing images straight out of the camera, and its write times are frankly appalling, but images are at least rich in detail while parameters such as colour and contrast can always be tweaked in-camera. Likewise, the Sony F3 may not have the most intuitive graphic user interface, and its few direct controls will discourage some, but handling is excellent, colours are pleasant and it's significantly cheaper than the others too.

Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 Preview and Odds
Drum roll please!
I proudly introduce to you the preview of the 2012 Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 miler, brought to you by the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club. Who's ready for unpredictable May weather, 16,200 feet of gnarley climbing, and over 100 miles of foot smashing rocks? Surely you will say "Massanutten Rocks!".
Without furthur adue, here are some folks to watch in the 2012 race. I will be updating runner info throughout the week, so stay tuned as more up to date news comes in. Though this list only highlights some of the faster runners in the field, remember that some of the most inspiring stories will come from the middle and back of the pack. Enjoy.
As always. Ladies first!
Eva Pastalkova- The reigning champ is back. Last year she took down Sue Johnston's stout course record with a time of 22:30. Now that she knows the course, she will be nearly unbeatable. Her mental strength is a huge asset, as long as she stays on course. I think she will lower the mark again. Prediction 22:09, new course record, and she finishes top 5 overall. The question is, how many guys will she chick, and could she be the first *FEMALE OVERALL WINNER of MMT*?
Sheryl Wheeler- The former champ is super tough, and she consistently finds a second gear during the late stages of MMT (usually after mile 75). She will pick her way towards the front of the race, and I think she'll duke it out with Cusick for 2nd. Prediction 26:12
Kathleen Cusick- I paced Kathleen last year, and I think she will be hungry for another top 3. I think she holds on for 2nd this year and edges out Wheeler with a time of 25:50
Frannie Conte- She's fast, but has never done particularly well on rocky trails. If she can gut it out, I think she could manage a finish in the 27 hour range. Predict 27:17
The Men's race: None of last year's top 3 are returning, but the field is still stacked. At least 5-6 guys are in a position for the win. We have a nice mix of fast young guys and "old" guys, east coasters, and west coasters. Three former champs are running. There will be a big cluster of folks betwwen 21:30 and 23 hours. Let the games begin!
Nick Pedatella- Possibly the fastest guy in the field and trains at altitude. DNF'ed MMT in '09 and will look for redemption. Predict 20:45
Jack Pilla- won Vermont in 2010 at age 51 in 16:36. He could destroy the 50+ age record, and contend for the win. 21:55 cuz he doesn't do rocks often.
Dan Barger- He won MMT in 2010 (20:25), so he knows how to run the course fast. At age 46, it's almost hard to believe he has been running ultras for nearly 30 years. He started when he was 17. Predict 21:40
Adam Lint- One of the fastest 50k and 50 mile guys in the field, and lesser known to us East coasters. He's fast, but has the least 100 mile experience of the other guys. Does he like rocks? Predict 22:30
Sean Andrish- Sean's lost some speed, but he's got experience. He won MMT in 2004, and can still fight for a top 5 position. I hope he proves he can still bring it for 100 miles. Predict 23:45
Harland Peelle- Hasn't raced as much recently, but he's still fast and experienced. Both are needed at MMT. Predict 23:10
Keith Knipling- What would MMT be without Keith in the mix. He had an "off" year last year, but I think he will bounce back into the top 5 where he belongs. Predict 22:25.
Todd Walker- 2008 MMT champ is back. Should be gunning for a top 3. Tons of MMT experience. Predict 21:50
Jason Lantz- If he is rested he should go top 5. Just ran 6:33 at Bull Run Run. He will duke it out for a top 3. I think he may be the sleeper to win if he stays on trail. Can run 21:30.
James Blandford- He has gone sub 24 before at MMT and just threw down a 6:59 at Bull Run Run. He's in shape and I think he's due for a big finish. Predict 22:55 and a top 10
Adam Cassaday- Has finished 3rd and 5th at MMT, and I'd expect more of the same. He can break 22 hours. Predict 22:42
Mike Frazier- Mike trains A LOT on the Massanutten trails, and he's pretty fast. I think he's got 23:30 in him and a top 12.
Chris Askew- He's a bit under the radar coming from Oregon, but he's also broken 24 hours at some very tough 100's. He was 6th at the 2010 MMT (23:04), and I think he'll go sub 24 again. 22:55 and a top 7
Yosuke Murase- Might be one of the most improved VHTRC runners in the last year. He will surprise folks. I think he will run 23 hours and round out the top 10.
....Others to watch
Richard Cook- He tears up road 100's and won the inaugural Oil Creek 100 a few years ago, so he can perform on trails. I just don't know about the rocks. He could still go sub 24, but I will predict 25:30 for the road runner.
Dave Ploskonka- Dave goes out fast, and sometimes holds on, sometimes doesn't. He's owned the Beast of Burden series and run 16:19 for a road 100, but the trails are different. Could easily go faster than my prediction, but I'll say 25 hours flat.
Dante Simone- little known, but recently ran 16:56 at the NJ 100. Definitely worthy of note.
Ryan O'dell- speedster from NY. Could break 24, but I'm thinking 24:30.
James Brennan- My buddy has knocked out solid finishes at Rocky Raccoon and Vermont 100. If he's been prepping for the rocks he could do well, but I'm not sure it's been his focus. He's got the talent for sub 24, but are his legs conditioned for the rocks? Predict 25:45 and top 15.
Jim Harris- Mr consistency could see a top 10. I'd like to see Jim break 24 hours. The question is whether he will taper, or run 30 miles the day before MMT. Predict 25:25
Ryan Henry- broke 24 hours at MMT back in '07. Not sure if he's running much these days. I think he's still got sub 26 and top 15 in him. Predict 26:20
Andy Anderson- not a contender, but my old friend is 0 for 6 in 100 mile attempts. I am rooting like crazy for my buddy to get his first finish. Lucky number seven.

Kvitova mows down BouchardAP PHOTO
Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic holds up the trophy after breezing to the womens Wimbledon singles championship in Wimbledon, London, on Saturday.
LONDON With an attacking game perfectly suited for the grass, Petra Kvitova makes winning Wimbledon look easy.
In the most lopsided Wimbledon womens final in 22 years, the Czech left-hander overpowered Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 in less an hour Saturday to win her second title at the All England Club.
Dictating pointing with her big serve, aggressive returns and flat groundstrokes, the 2011 Wimbledon champion never let the 20-year-old Canadian a rising star playing in her first Grand Slam final get into the match.
It was a clinical performance of power tennis, with Kvitova ripping baseline winners off both wings and leaving Bouchard looking helpless. Kvitova won the final seven games, finishing the 55-minute rout in style with her 28th winner a clean cross-court backhand from the back of the court.
Kvitova said she was in the zone when a player feels they can do nothing wrong and surprised even herself on some winning points.
I mean, a few shots (were) really incredible and I really couldnt believe that I made it actually, she said. Maybe it was magic.
Kvitova fell onto her back at the dusty baseline after her final shot flew past Bouchard. Later, she climbed into the stands to embrace her tearful parents and the rest of her team.
The last time a player lost only three games in the Wimbledon final was in 1992, when Steffi Graf beat Monica Seles 6-2, 6-1.
Kvitovas offensive, take-charge style is perfectly suited for the grass of the All England Club. Three years ago, she dropped only seven games in beating Maria Sharapova for the title. Both of her Grand Slam finals have been at Wimbledon.
I cant say that its more special, but definitely after three years to stand here with the trophy again, its absolutely amazing, Kvitova told the Centre Court crowd after accepting the Venus Rosewater Dish from the Duke of Kent.
Later, she told reporters that nothing can top winning Wimbledon.
It means everything, said Kvitova, who will move up to No. 4 in the rankings on Monday. Tennis here is tennis history. The Centre Court is always great to play on. I feel really like at home. `
For Bouchard, the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final, it was a humbling defeat. She is named after Britains Princess Eugenie, a granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, and the princess was watching from the front row of the Royal Box.
I did see her in the box, Bouchard said. Im very happy that she came out. Disappointed I couldnt put on a better show for her.
Bouchard, the Wimbledon junior champion two years ago, came into the match with the best record in majors this year 16-2 and was the only player to reach at least the semifinals of the first three Grand Slams. She is taking her heavy defeat as a learning experience.
It was a big moment walking out onto Centre Court for a final, said Bouchard, who will break into the top 10 for the first time at No. 7, the highest ever for a Canadian. I have that experience now. I know what it feels like. I hope I can walk out to many more finals. Thats the goal.
The Centre Court roof was closed immediately after the match as rain began to fall. The two players left the court while the roof was being shut and returned later for the ceremony.
Bouchard was left to sit in the engravers room, watching as Kvitovas name was etched into the trophy.
I was watching them work, wishing one day, dreaming that hell write my name somewhere, the Canadian said.
Not on this day. Bouchard had no answer for Kvitova, who seized command from the start, attacking Bouchards second serves and moving her all over the court. Kvitova was always on the offensive, never letting the Canadian get comfortable. After her one bad game, when she was broken while serving for the first set at 5-2, Kvivota won the rest of the games.
Kvitova piled up 28 winners, 20 more than Bouchard. Even while being thoroughly beaten, Bouchard had only four unforced errors, as Kvitovas searing groundstrokes pushed her into so many forced errors.
Later on Centre Court, the Italian pair of Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci beat Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic 6-1, 6-3 in the women doubles final to complete a career doubles Grand Slam.
The mens final will be played Sunday, with Roger Federer going for a record eighth Wimbledon title and 18th Grand Slam championship against 2011 winner Novak Djokovic.

I have had to go back to work and pump for my 8 week old. up until now we were breastfeeding plus about 6 oz formula per day. she's making plenty of diapers and growing at a good rate. She now weighs close to 12 lbs.
So here's the question: I had to work today and only got a total of 8 oz with my breast pump. Only 2 oz TOTAL per 20 min session. Our LC said she needs to be taking about 27-33 oz per day and I'm worried because what i'm pumping is only a fraction of what she needs. We nurse when I return home, but I feel like I really need to be producing more.
Already taking 5490 mg of fenugreek (3 caps 3x/day) plus 2-3 cups of mother's milk tea, and a beer when I get home at night. I dunno why, but beer seems to help me out.
I work 7/70 which means I work 7 days in a row, 10 hr days for a total of 70 hours per pay period. Then I get 7 days off. I pump at 6am, 930 am, 1230 pm, 330 pm, and 1030pm. We nurse after work between 6 pm and 10 pm. When NOT at work, I pump when I wake in the am, bf all day long, then pump once more before I go to sleep. How much expressed milk is good? How do I boost my supply? currently using a medela pump in style advanced, but considering renting a hospital grade symphony from the hospital that i work at.

Atmosphere? The Willows was a dump..unfit for purpose. How long has the new ground been open and yet its already being rubbished? It can't be that bad as over 9,000 turned out at the weekend to watch Sale Sharks..more than the England v France game I went to.
Agreed it was a bit of a dump.
Doesn't matter that it's only just opened, you can never change the location of the ground and so it will never take off in my opinion.
And comparing League and Union attendances doesn't count for anything, this is a Rugby League problem with Salford!

By Thomas Garcia: Freedom New Mexico
Dennis Roch won more than one race this election season.
Roch, who will represent Curry, Roosevelt and Quay counties as the new District 67 representative, was challenged to a foot race while campaigning in Portales.
Roch was knocking on voters doors on East Amazon Street in Portales.
"I introduced myself and told the man that I was running for the District 67 House seat," Roch said. "He replied, 'How fast are you?'"
Roch said it wasn't that type of race, but the voter wasn't swayed.
"The man said, 'Well, if you want my vote, you'll race me from the mailbox to the end of the street,'" Roch said.
Roch said he took off his jacket and lined up at the mailbox. Roch said after he won the race by a few footsteps, his challenger was impressed that he was literally willing to run for office.
After the race Roch said the resident told him he would support the Quay County Republican, who defeated Craig Cosner in Tuesday's general election.
Amy Truelock watched the race from her porch.
Truelock and her friends weren't impressed by Roch winning the race, but his willingness to try.
"It definitely swayed my vote and the vote of my friends," Truelock said.
Roch said he will retain his position as assistant superintendent at Tucumcari Municipal Schools.

Realtree and Bad Boy Buggies to Partner with Austin Dillon
March 8, 2014
WELCOME, N.C. (Friday March 7, 2014) - Longtime Richard Childress Racing partners Realtree and Bad Boy Buggies® are joining the effort to support Austin Dillon's rookie campaign in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series by announcing primary partnership of the No. 3 Chevrolet SS for the March 16 race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The partnership unites Realtree, the world's leading camouflage designer, marketer, and licensor with Bad Boy Buggies, inventor of the dual-motor, fully electric 4WD vehicle, a machine that combines unparalleled off-road ability with quiet, emissions-free operation- the ideal hunting vehicle. Bad Boy Buggies vehicles are designed and manufactured by E-Z-Go, a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.
"The March race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway comes at the perfect time to get race fans fired up about Spring turkey season," said Realtree designer and president Bill Jordan. "Bristol Motor Speedway offers up some of the most exciting racing action of the season and this year, we are especially excited to partner with Bad Boy Buggies on the No. 3 Chevrolet, driven by our hunting buddy Austin Dillon for his grandfather and my friend, Richard Childress."
The race will mark the first time that Bad Boy Buggies enjoys primary placement on a Sprint Cup Series car driven by Dillon.
"We are excited to join our longtime partner, Realtree, and RCR to support Austin Dillon in his inaugural Sprint Cup Series season," said Eric Bondy, vice president, consumer for E-Z-Go. "It's an honor to be a part of this effort, and to see the Bad Boy Buggies logo on the iconic No. 3 Chevrolet."
Dillon earned the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship in 2011, the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship in 2013 and is vying for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship in 2014.
"I feel honored to have the support of so many people during my rookie season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series," said Dillon. "Both Realtree and Bad Boy Buggies are brands that I have been associated with for a long time. I feel extra motivation to do well at Bristol Motor Speedway for Bill Jordan and everyone at Realtree, and for the entire Bad Boy Buggies family."
Realtree and Bad Boy Buggies will both serve as major associate sponsors throughout the 2014 season, joining Dow, Cheerios, American Ethanol and the University of Northwestern Ohio as RCR supporters associated with the No. 3 Sprint Cup Series entry this season.

"Can I get you something to drink?" A mop of dark hair in his face, white towel tucked into his waistline.
"I'll have a Jameson on the rocks," the girl says.
"Two," the guy says.
The waiter nods and leaves. The room is full of couples, hints of red on most of their clothing. Bottles of wine. Two glasses. Valentines Day.
The drinks arrive and they toast—to each other. They love this place. Come here all the time. Sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. They recount some of the good times they've shared, some funny moments and that one time in the beginning when he was kind of a jerk.
The girl swigs her Jameson and stands up.
"I'll be right back," she says. Kisses the guy.
The guy watches her leave, turns back to the room. A woman looks bored, reapplies lipstick, checks her phone.
The girl is alone in the bathroom, lost in her own thoughts. It's been one of her favorite Valentine's Days, and she's had some doozies. Suddenly, there's a commotion behind her. A struggle. She spins around.
Red shoes under the stall. Muffled movements. Does she go for help? She gets closer to the stall. Closer. Peering under. Another set of shoes. Black loafers. Kissing. Laughter.
She straightens up.
"They were in the stall together," she whispers to the guy back at the table.
The guy laughs, enjoying the gossipy tidbit.
"Good for them." The red shoes click by.
"That's her." They watch as the red shoes go and sit back down with an older gentlemen in the corner. He hasn't moved.
"That's not the guy she was with." Grins break out over the couple's faces as they frantically scan the room, checking for empty chairs and ladies waiting for their dates. "Who do you think it could be?"
Their food arrives. Delicious tapas. Bacon wrapped dates. Small plate of gnocchi. Meatballs. Did they want anything else? No, they were doing fine. But leave the menu. As the dust settles, the tables are full again. They missed the culprit.
"It might be that young man over there with the popped collar sitting with the girl with balloons tied to her chair."
"Could be," says the guy.
"I'm going to go check his shoes," the girl says quickly, standing up.
"Do you think that's such a good idea?" the guy says, but she's already gone. Across the room. Closing in.
The guy watches with nervous excitement. She deftly knocks a neighbor's fork from the table and disappears from view.
She pops back up. Pantomiming apologies. She shakes her head. Not the right shoes.
"I think it's him," the guy says, gesturing to a man and woman who are deep in an intense conversation. "I remember her checking her phone and looking bored when you went to the bathroom. Now she's about to cry. Plus, I think the man keeps checking out the woman with the red shoes."
"Hmmm. I don't think so," the girl says after looking the man up and down.
The waiter brings their second Jameson. "Who do you think, then?" the guy asks.
"Maybe him," the girl says, pointing to a suave guy with slicked-back hair. "I can't see his shoes. But he looks like the type that takes a girl into the bathroom."
"Oh yeah?"
The suave guy laughs. The girl shakes her head. Not the right laugh.
The waiter stops by the crying couple's table and then comes by with the check. The guy gestures for him to come closer.
"Maybe you can help me with something."
"What's the deal with that couple? Know anything about them?"
Without hesitation: "They come in every now and again. Poor girl. She's upset. They've been fighting since the man got back from the bathroom an hour or so ago."
Satisfaction stretches over the guy's face. See that, he gestures to the girl. She rolls her eyes.
"Thanks for coming."
They nod. "Have a good night." The guy helps the girl with her coat. He holds the door for her as they walk out and she stops dead in her tracks. That laugh, she says. They turn around to see the waiter pass the woman with the red shoes a napkin. The older gentleman doesn't notice.
"I'll bet that's his phone number," the guy says as they step out onto the cold street.
"Nice one, Sherlock," the girl says. They link arms and disappear into the night.

Ow! Ow! Burnett is Burning and Big Bats Are On Fire
Burnett and Offense Smokin' in Victory Over Rays
In the first road game since I started my blog, the Yankees had everything working for a win. A.J. Burnett was awesome, and everyone in the lineup got at least 1 hit. It all added up to an 11-4 Yankee win. Here's how it happened.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett continued his hot pitching, and had his nasty curveball and power fastball working. He went 7, allowing an unearned run due to a strikeout-wild pitch where Upton reached 1st. He struck out 5, and only allowed 2 hits. He is so fun to watch. Is it me or does he always look cranky on the mound? I don't know why; he pitches so well. He has nothing to be cranky about. Just a game face I guess. Well anyway, A.J. was as good as I've ever seen him last night. I would be more that fine with him starting the World Series for us.
A.J.'s making his cranky face in this picture!
Jonathan Albaladejo, recently recalled from Scranton after Gardner broke his thumb, pitched 2/3 of the 8th, allowing 2 runs. He was not called up to be lights out, he just needed to give the bullpen some rest. And by this time the Yanks had a huge lead anyway. David Robertson came on to finish the game, allowing 1 run in 1 & 1/3 innings. The pitching was definetely a plus for the Yankees last night.
Defensive Analysis: Aside from Burnett's wild pickoff throw in the first, the defense was once again solid last night. In the bottom of the 6th, Cano, Jeter, and Tex turned a nice 4-6-3 double play on Evan Longoria, preventing a big inning for the Rays. We have the best infield in the game, and like many of my fellow bloggers, I agree that Cano should win the Gold Glove this year.
Offensive Analysis: The Yankees touched home plate 11 times last night, and got contributions from every man in the lineup. Cano had a nice game with a homer, a triple, and 2 walks. Swisher had 2 homers. Damon had a 3-run homer, the 200th of his carreer. The Yankees better sign him. The birthday boy Alex Rodriguez had a 2-run double last night. My man Lechemente had 2 hits again last night, extending his hitting streak to 6 straight. Melky continues to be a weapon in the bottom of the order. Aside from Melky, many of the Yankees have hitting streaks, which were all extended last night.
It was the perfect win for the Yankees last night. They kept their 2.5 game lead over Boston, who happened to be victorious last night. The heroes for last night are A.J. Burnett for turnin' me on with his hot curveball, and the entire Yankee lineup for smashing 15 hits and 11 runs. Let's stay hot! Make this mama proud! (I don't know what made me say that.) GO GETT'EM BOYS! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Nice blog! And it's great to "meet" another Yankee fan. AJ was fantastic last night. He's been pitching with so much confidence lately, and his stuff is unreal. The Rays have some great hitters, but he managed to keep them off the bases for the most part. I thought he might get rattled by Crawford's steals, but he kept it together.
Yankees are great, I like the way you summarized it. I think the Yankees are going to win the series versus the Rays, they just have to keep them from hitting home runs, especially Pat Burrell who went deep against them last night.
Matthew Tang
Nice blog! Keep the good work Belle. Yesterday the Yanks showed us once again what a world series' participating team looks like. Yankees vs. Dodgers in the world series would be too much but it's too soon to make predictions so I'll try to contend myself.
That ain't his cranky face, that's his assassin face. oh lookie there, we have a new nickname for AJ Burnett now! The assassin. So we now have Double Tre(Sergio Mitre), The Assassin, The Big Man(CC), now we just need to name Joba and Pettitte… suggestions welcome.
as for Cervelli and Pena, I probably would've left them off even if they hadn't played up here because they hadn't really had minor league offensive success, which is key. plus, it's hard to find a scouting report on Frankie out there. Cervelli and Pena would've missed the list.
Haha, I miss him mucho too. xP

Man you guys are really on a streak. And to do it on th road against a tough Rays team, says alot. Looks like you're getting a following? Great job!
In response to your question, I would imagine that Burnett would influence Docs decision, but dont forget its not only about Halladay. Richardi wants a lot as it is, and adding the fact that the Yanks are in their division, he would want even more. I dont see Cashman dealing his future like that, but dont rule it out, the Yankees are always in the mix and usually their big deals come out of nowhere (remember the Teixeira deal). Personally, I would like to see the Yankees win with what they have right now. Enough is enough.
and I still can't belive they hit that many homeruns in one game outside Yankee stadium and against the Rays no less…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
When Burnett is pitching his game he is one of the best in the game. His slider compliments his fastball so well. To a left-handed hitter it is near unhittable.
We're losing right now, so shout out a good luck cheer for the Yanks. We need help!
Welcome to MLBlogs! Man, y'all Yankees bloggers are DEEP! So many of y'all…. jeesh. I can say that you don't have a shot unless you can BEAT the Red Sox…. good luck with that😉 and keep up the posts… the more you stand out the better.
Last night hurt alot, but I feel just that good tonight. Just a little payback, eh? Just when my faith in my guys was wavering, we take you out 6-1. Of course, I am going to ignore that only half our runs were earned and that you committed 2 errors that completely changed the game. I'll just ignore all that and take the win. Because if I focus on that stuff I'm gonna start feeling bad again! Big game tomorrow!
– CC got battered and bruised yesterday, but losses are bound to happen and break up any streak. As long as the Red Sox lose on cue, (which they DID,) – we're fine. We just can't make a habit of it…

qui - Eccentric, award-winning cuisine
Austin may be known for Mexican food, and for good reason – if you've ever devoured the delectable treats at Tamale House or El Primo Taco Deli, you'll know what I mean. But that's far from the only notable cuisine you'll find in Austin. qui (yes, it's spelled all lowercase) has made quite a name for itself with its quirky, haute take on fusion cuisine. That's right, fusion – in the right hands, it is far from dead. In fact, it's not uncommon to hear people exclaim qui the "best food they've ever had."
Chef Paul Qui, something of a repeat–champion chef – in recent years, he's won James Beard, Top Chef and Young Chef of the Year at the S. Pellegrino Cooking Cup in Venice – imbues the delicacy of traditional Asian ingredients with a seasonal palette of the best French cooking and the peppery kick of his home state of Texas. "The Fish Toast," with Amberjack with Mojo Verde, Thai Chili and Trout Roe is a favorite. As is the dry aged "Côte du Bœuf for 2, or 3... or 6" (often referred to round these parts as a cowboy steak), a dry-aged Niman Ranch cut of beef that the haughtiest and most down to earth can agree is sublime. The brick-and- mortar location, set right near the center of the SXSW action in East Austin, offers a wonderful respite from the numbers in it's airy room and patio – bathed in gorgeous blue & white batiks. It's the perfect place for an eccentric, delicious cocktail. Oh, and did I mention the Cheddar Cheese Ice Cream?

With six decades of experience in the manufacturing of process equipment SUSS MicroTec has set the standards for precision and quality throughout the semiconductor industry. Continuous innovation and the ability to find new solutions for an ever-changing market have made SUSS MicroTec a technology leader.
SUSS MicroTec was founded by Karl Süss in 1949 as a distributor of optical equipment from Leitz in Munich in Southern Germany. Soon the company becomes famous for their customized adaptions of the products offered. In 1963, the company develops together with Siemens, a simple photolithography machine for the production of transistors. This triggers the development of the first mask aligner, the now legendary MJB3. It also marks a turning point – from simple re-seller to a manufacturer of manual lithography devices - and is seen as the first step into the upcoming semiconductor industry.
With the company expanding and working on related solutions for wafer processing new business segments like wafer bonding and test systems open. In the eighties the company expands onto the world market with a bonder production site in the US and sales offices in the important growth markets Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, China and Korea.
In May 1999, the company Karl Suss goes public as SÜSS MicroTec AG and is listed in the Prime Standard segment of the German Stock Exchange. In 2001 the whole group is renamed into SUSS MicroTec. The portfolio now encompasses a full range of process and test solutions for microstructuring applications in the semiconductor and related industries.

Smith Lemli Opitz Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Smith Lemli Opitz Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a variable genetic disorder that is characterized by slow growth before and after birth, small head (microcephaly), mild to moderate mental retardation and multiple birth defects including particular facial features, cleft palate, heart defects, fused second and third toes, extra fingers and toes and underdeveloped external genitals in males. The severity of SLOS varies greatly in affected individuals, even in the same family, and some have normal development and only minor birth defects. SLOS is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase that results in an abnormality in cholesterol metabolism. SLOS is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder.
