Tiger checks in
The Columbus Dispatch - May 28, 2014 01:32 PM
Tiger Woods, who is not playing the Memorial Tournament this week while he recovers from back surgery, made a phone call to tournament host Jack Nicklaus this morning.
Nicklaus made the revelation this morning during his annual pre-tournament news conference at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
"A very, very nice call, wishing me well in the tournament, sorry he couldn't be here," Nicklaus said of their chat.
"And he was saying that he felt bad about not being able to be here. He said he's doing well, progressing well (in his rehabilitation), and he's looking forward to getting back into the game. He misses it."
Woods, who lost his No.1 world ranking to Adam Scott last week, had a microdiscectomy March 31 and is out indefinitely. Nicklaus said they did not discuss when he hopes to return.
"He didn't say anything," Nicklaus said with a smile, "and I didn't ask him because I knew I was going to talk to you guys. I'll let him answer those questions."
Woods has missed four of the past nine Memorials. He won two of the five he played in during that span, in 2009 and '12, and has five victories total, the tournament record.

Peter includes oil in 'effective hydration.' I don't adjust the water with the oil percentage point for percentage point, but, when I do add oil, I back off the water a bit.
How are you planning to bake? What temps and what kind of oven setup?(forgive me. I'm new around here!)
Peter and Scott - Just a note: I added the oil near the end of the mixing since I seem to recall that the oil can inhibit hydration when added first. Peter - When you talk about effective hydration, do you view water and oil as equal by weight?
One point of clarification: I don't rely on volume measurements for anything except IDY. Are H2O and oil considered equivalent by weight as far as effective hydration is concerned?

Love love the smell of Comet. I use to wear the original Angel shaped like a star for years. Then I switched to Comet. So ftesh smelling. I receive so many comments . This site is the best site to shop on so reasonable !! Love this scent so much !!
Written by Bev D 54 on February 05, 2016
This review is for Angel Comet. I am a HUGE fan of the original Angel and have been wearing it for years. In my own opinion Comet has a unique smell and it does and doesn't remind me of the original at all. It's much more of a fresh citrus smell with a lot less projection than it's big sister Angel. Don't get me wrong I really love this scent as I do all of Mugler's perfumes because of the uniqueness of them. It does last a pretty long time and you don't need to spray to much. I think this is pretty work appropriate, of course depending on the office you work in and some may find it to strong. I love strong loud scents and luckily work in a small office so it's not an issue!
Written by loveboxerkisses on December 23, 2014
Every time I wear this fragrance, someone ALWAYS asks what are you wearing??? It is a delicious scent that I intend to keep in my collection.I am a Thierry Mugler Angel junkie & proud of it!!!

In 2009, the two largest carpet manufacturers decided to attempt to take some of that quality territory. One used a rhinoceros at the Birmingham Zoo; the other set a Guinness World Record for the world's largest pie fight. People, pies and pandemonium. Yikes, I kind of miss that little red headed kid who threw food off his high chair only to be saved by the mystery sauce in the Stainmaster carpet.
Mohawk started the quality wars. It introduced Ricko the Rhino, an endangered black rhinoceros who lives in a 1,040-square-foot enclosure at the Birmingham, Ala., Zoo. And to prove the durability and stain-resistant qualities of Mohawk 's SmartStrand carpet, they installed carpet in Ricko's home. And to be sure you got the point, Mohawk informed all who cared that Ricko was not house trained. For two weeks, Ricko lived, played and marched around his home, all 2,800 pounds of him.
After the two-week test was complete, Mohawk took the carpet out, cleaned it and marveled at what a great story it had for 130-pound mom with two teenage children who, we presume, are house broken.
Now Shaw decides to outdo the rhinoceros with a very big pie fight; 1,200 pies, 434 participants and 3,750 square feet of Anso nylon carpet. After the fight, the carpet was cleaned and reinstalled in the lobby of the Embassy Suites in Grapevine, Texas. Randy Merritt, Shaw president, said, "We can't wait to tell consumers that Anso nylon survived the world's largest pie fight."
Maybe it's just me, but there is something unseemly about wasting 1,200 pies to prove a point. And the idea of a rhinoceros dumping on a carpet all the time I mean why not have the rhinoceros eat all the pies? See how he feels.
But there is a much more serious point to these two marketing tactics. Today's customer demands quality and telling her about it is nowhere near as helpful as showing her your quality proof.
I like Shaw's slogan, "Anso? Hope so." With that, the salesperson can have a meaningful dialogue with the customer and show her pictures of how great their own installations look and, if needed, show the customer what the product looked like after the pie fight.
And the master that started this a long time ago has known this and my guess is Stainmaster will try to reassert its quality claim,ÃÆ'Â.Ã.Ã.'¬Å¡Ã'¬ÃƒÃ'VbCrLf I just hope the folks at Invista try something less dramatic but more compelling. Please no chimpanzees throwing...
Mohawk, Shaw and Invista, among other companies, know that demonstrating quality claims is very important; and that does not just stand true for carpet products. It also applies to installation, carpet cushion and all hard surface goods.
Finally, if you are going to brag about the quality of your product, you better be able to supply the best warranty for it. Otherwise, the alternative is a pie in your face.

Galapagos cruise [1] guests may have noticed pets roaming the streets of towns like Santa Cruz while visiting. In an effort to reduce the threat that free-roaming pets pose to wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, the International Galapagos Tour Operators Association (IGTOA) [2] has provided the Galapagos Biosecurity Agency with funding to conduct emergency pet sterilizationson Isabela, Floreana, and Santa Cruz.
The emergency funding will pay for two teams of veterinarians from the non-profit Darwin Animal Doctors to conduct the sterilization programs. To date, 79 dogs and 55 cats have been sterilized as a result of the donation, with more sterilizations scheduled on Isabela in the coming weeks.
"Dogs and cats are very successful predators. As such, they put constant pressure on the wildlife and the environment of human-inhabited islands, such as Isabela and Floreana," said Godfrey Merlin, a biologist and conservationist based in the Galapagos Islands. "We must be vigilant in our efforts to control them. Without support from IGTOA and its member companies this important initiative would not have been possible."
Similar sterilization programs in the past have been successful at reducing dog and cat populations. IGTOA believes educating villagers about the problem is crucial to keeping the problem under control.
As part of the sterilization program, vets will be compiling data on the presence of diseases in the dogs and cats being sterilized, in order to better understand the prevalence and nature of the diseases they carry. A disease of particular interest is canine distemper, which may have the potential to infect endangered Galapagos sea lions and has caused widespread mortality among sea lion populations in central and northern Europe.
The Charles Darwin Foundation estimatesthere over 1,400 invasive species in the Galapagos Islands. Experts have warned that invasive species pose a serious existential threat to many of the endemic species that inhabit the islands.
Since it was founded in 1996, IGTOA [2] and member companies like International Expeditions have supported Galapagos conservation efforts, many of which have been focused on reducing the impact of invasive species.

Hi everyone,
I am a white tea lover, my "go-to" tea for many years has been Bai Hao Yin Zhen/Silver Needles from Fujian Province, and occasionally Bai Mu Dan/White Peony tea. I love the ethereal and delicate sweetness of white tea (though I also love a good Darjeeling or Nepalese Kanchenjunga as well sometimes).
I have often noticed that when I drink white tea, I do feel keyed up and completely unable to sleep oftentimes. It's the feeling of drinking a caffeinated beverage. Now, the "party line" that one always hears about white tea is that it has very negligible amounts of caffeine in it, the lowest amounts of all the teas. However, over the years I have also stumbled onto some websites that state that such a view is a fallacy, that in fact white tea has a LOT of caffeine in it and is indeed one of the teas with the HIGHEST amounts of caffeine. Although I'm naturally skeptical of conspiracy theories, I can't help but wonder if this is true given the fact that when I drink white tea I often definitely feel keyed up and unable to fall asleep.
So I ask: What is the truth on this matter? Does Silver Needles and other white tea contain a lot of caffeine or not?

The death of an Eastern Michigan University football player has been classified as a homicide.
The football player has been identified as Demarius Reed, a wide receiver, according to a statement Friday from Walter Kraft, the university's vice president for communications.
"The incident happened off campus in the 700 block of West Clark Rd., near the intersection of LeForge Rd. and Clark Rd. It was discovered at 7:15 this morning. Ypsilanti Police are investigating the death and are in close contact with the EMU Police Department," Kraft said in the statement.
Details on the manner of death were not immediately available. A message seeking comment was left for Ypsilanti Police.
Reed was listed as a junior from Chicago on the Eagles' website. He has played in six games this season, catching 15 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown.
In 2012, he appeared in nine games and made three starts.
He was rated nationally by several websites that rank talent, with ESPN.com listing him as the 64th best cornerback in the country and Rivals.com listing him as the 43rd best prospect in Illinois, the site says, noting that he was "very agile and aggressive on the field," "posted a 40-yard dash time of 4.47 seconds" and "is very quick with the ball."

My team and I at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, had the privilege to welcome Secretary Kerry to Sweden on May 14th and 15th. The Secretary visited Stockholm and Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost city. It was the first time a Secretary of State traveled to two Swedish cities in one visit and the second time we welcomed a Secretary of State to Sweden during the past year (Secretary Clinton was here last June).
My wife Natalia and I joined Foreign Minister Carl Bildt at the airport to welcome Secretary Kerry to Sweden early on Tuesday morning, a full hour ahead of schedule. We had a light drizzle, but it was far better weather than the cold rain and wind storm that greeted Secretary Clinton nearly a year before.
From wheels down in Stockholm to wheels up in Kiruna, the Secretary had a packed schedule. His day in Stockholm started with a meeting with Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. At the beginning of the meeting, Foreign Minister Bildt showed the Secretary the extensive collection of maps in his office, against the backdrop of clicking cameras. After the press left the room, the two discussed the Arctic Council, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, and other issues of global importance.
Following their meeting, Minister Bildt walked with the Secretary and me, along with the rest of our delegation, to the Prime Minister's office at Rosenbad. The Secretary met with Prime Minister Reinfeldt to continue the conversation on key bilateral issues and discuss our governments' shared commitment to see a successful conclusion to a U.S.-EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Treaty. During the press conference that followed, the Secretary spoke at length about the U.S. commitment to work with Sweden and partners around the world to address climate change.
After about six hours in Stockholm, Secretary Kerry departed Stockholm, bound for Kiruna, a city often associated with reindeer, snow-covered mountains, northern lights and dog-sledding, located 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle.
The main purpose of the visit was to participate in the final Arctic Council meeting of the Swedish chairmanship which gathered ministers and principals from eight countries, including hosts Foreign Minister Carl Bildt and Environment Minister Lena Ek of Sweden, and indigenous peoples from the Arctic region. The Arctic Council was launched in 1996 to promote cooperation, coordination and interaction among the Arctic States, in particular on issues pertaining to sustainability and environmental protection.
As a testimony to the success of the Swedish leadership of the Arctic Council, a legally binding agreement was signed by the ministers on Marine Oil Pollution Preparedness and Response. The agreement seeks to mitigate the risk of oil pollution in the Arctic including by facilitating the organization of a concerted response in the event of an accident.
Secretary Kerry also participated in a meeting with U.S. indigenous leaders hosted by Lisa Murkowski, U.S. Senator from Alaska. This offered an opportunity to delve into how Native American cultures and traditions are enriching the Arctic and contributing to the prosperity of the Region but also to shed light on some of the challenges that they are facing. Approximately 4 million people inhabit the Arctic and nearly 500,000 of these represent indigenous groups.
The stay in Kiruna concluded with a visit to the LKAB iron ore mine, the largest of its kind in Europe. The town was founded in 1900 primarily around the extraction of iron. The mining industry remains so important to Kiruna that the town is currently in the midst of moving several large neighborhoods to a new location in order to enable further extraction. With the local economy booming and with low unemployment numbers, Kiruna is thriving.
After a day and half in Sweden, the Secretary departed Kiruna on Wednesday afternoon. It was truly an amazing visit and proof of the close ties between our two countries -- a relationship that I think has never been stronger.

Former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. Each expects to be in charge - what they don't expect is to fall in love.
This romantic thriller features a whole host of irresistible classics, including Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, I'm Your Baby Tonight, Run to You, I Have Nothing, Jesus Loves Me, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and one of the greatest hit songs of all time - I Will Always Love You.
Beverley Knight will continue the role of Rachel Marron until 31st May 2014, then Alexandra Burke will take over the part from 2nd June. At Wednesday and Saturday matinee performances the role of Rachel Marron will be played by Joelle Moses.
Beverley Knight
An awesome voice from this three times MOBO award winner. She's been notching up the hits ever since her classic song 'Flavour Of The Old School' (1995) with more than ten of her songs reaching the Top 40. Her longevity is partly due to her innate talent, but it is also due to her impressive ability to reinvent herself.

Alexandra Burke
Alexandra Burke grew up in North London and is the daughter of former Soul II Soul lead singer Melissa Bell. Influenced by classic soul singers and contemporary heroes such as Mariah Carey and Beyonce, the three-time BRIT nominee rose to fame after winning the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008.
Her debut number one single Hallelujah sold over one million copies in the UK, a first for a British female soloist. Burke's first album, Overcome saw the release of her subsequent number one singles Bad Boys and Start Without You. In 2011 she embarked on her first solo tour and was invited by Beyoncé to support her I Am... Tour. Her second album, Heartbreak on Hold, was released in June 2012 and 2014 sees the release of her third studio album.
Alexandra has also received acclaim for her portrayal of Rachel Marron in the sell-out run of Thea Sharrock's hit musical The Bodyguard at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End.

Today a lot of things happened including Tahoe, Bitcoin, Tastebridge, Ruby, some kind of LInux meeting, German class.
One short sentence about each of the following:
This is the active list of events from the main page:
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff. DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!
Want to host your event at Noisebridge? We like seeing classes and talks on interesting things pertaining to various subjects of hacking. Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our weekly Tuesday meetings to see if we're the right audience for what you want to share before announcing a new event. Additionally, please see our events hosting page for suggestions on how to use Noisebridge for your event/class/workshop.

[edit] Consensus items
(Add any new items for consensus to the Current Consensus Items page.)
[edit] Discussion Items
Al Sweigart would like to talk dirty.
Danny would like to propose for consensus paying someone to clean on a monthly basis.
Danny would like to meta-discuss the structure of the meeting.
Finally, Danny would like to mention a chat he had with the Free School folks.
Someone would like to anonymously point out that Free School and friends have turned the space under the laser room into their personal belonging storage for the past month or so (go check it now, it's a Noiserat nest heaven up in there!). Personal as in clothing, personal hygiene products, items one would normally store in a place they're living out of. Considering that it's illegal for anyone to live at 2169 Mission due to our lease and the city zoning code, does Noisebridge as a collective want people keeping their personal belongings (in this instance things you'd normal keep with you traveling or at your home) in the space? Additionally since such items are being left at the space, concern to their security and well being should be voiced considering Noisebridge as a collected sees property like this as automatic donated to the nonprofit, which was outlined in previous meetings. Or you could just delete this discussion item since I currently lack the energy (backbone?) to debating such things on my own but would like to see some action taken by the group.
Actual discussion:
Al would like to talk about filth. Noisebridge is very dirty so let's think of ways to get it less filthy
Danny proposes Noisebridge funds to pay someone to clean it on a monthly basis
Liz: It wouldn't help with daily level of filth but might be a good deep cleaning.
Miloh: What about setting a cap of how much $ we would spend on cleaning per month and for how long. What would we want done - we would have to describe what needs doing.
Didn't we have a spending freeze? No one remembers.
"If we don't remember, and we don't bother to look it up, then we can just ignore it"
Question from Mike about washing machine and dryer. Al says there is a bag of towels once a week or so and he takes it to a laundromat and washes it.
Will: Started a cleaning fund pledge page, didn't get many pledges.
Claudia brought soeone in quote for the bathroom cleaning. Do we need bathroom cleaning?
Liz: spec out the jobs really well on signs, have spot to sign up and say you did it with the date. Describe job, what it means to do it, time estimate, supplies needed.
Will: hire someone privately and see what difference it makes.
Al: if it would be easier to hire a member then let's try that.
Aestetix: Have a list of things to do, dates like with the bathroom cleaning. It's a gentle reminder.
Miloh: Annoyed because we already have these lists (somewhere) And wants to just hire someone. We keep talking about it.
Aestetix objects to the idea of paid positions within Noisebridge.
Sebastian says he had a cron job, every member had to do 1 hour of cleaning per year, the cron job would send out that it needs to be done. What if all members agree to do X hours per time unit.)
We have many more people that use the space than that are official members. Maybe 10% are members.
Liz commits to write job descriptions and print them tomorrow and put them up. Aestetix and Will are going to help. Liz is going to just buy a laminating machine.
Will wants someone to just come mop the floor.
Danny proposes we do a one-off deep clean of the entire space. What would the person do? How much? we need a quote.
Will brings up donating. What about if on Monday nights, have someone walk around with a donation jar at crowded times and try to raise money.
Miloh thinks it is offputting to have the donation jar right in the center of an activity.
Danny says he will go around begging for donations during Monday nights.
People keeping their stuff in the laser room, clothes and bathroom stuff as if someone's person's belongings. Under stairwell, under laser cutter, etc. Other people are asking them not do keep their personal stuff here in that way. Al left some signs on their things asking people to move the stuff, with his email address for them to contact
It's illegal for people to live here.
John says he checked the zoning law and there is nothing about sleeping in a space it is about residence.
Aestetix says it's more about the social nuisance.
Cynthia: the electronic door is often not locked. So maybe it is good that people are here in the night to guard the space.
General groans around the room that we don't want to hash out this whole "sleeping at noisebridge" issue again right now, omg.
Is any of this a sense that the free school is a sort of "hippie problem" (anonymous note ) Are any of them members? Are they donating? Are they cleaning up after themselves? Do they talk to people?
Danny adds that no one had asked them to donate or be members until he asked them the other day, and one person immediately signed up in the membership binder.
Miloh says there is a general problem keeping personal stuff under the DJ room.
Aestetix: can we describe what the issues are individually and address them rather than identifying a group and blaming them?
Sebastian talks about projects in Germany and how they asked the "freeloading" projects to donate and give back to the space that provides the infrastructure.
Danny: Raised this issue because he wonders if we have some way for an institution to "become a member" . What do we think is a reasonable way to ask them to integrate or participate or donate in a greater way?
Miloh: There would be some people we would be tempted to block.
Aestetix: can an organization block consensus.
MIloh: has gotten to know them and would like to get to know them more but it's been difficult to do.
Liz: But how can the rest of us learn about this or help, if this is a general known problem?
Will: people are showing up and there are actual individuals and behaviors we want to change. Not about another organization.
Danny: what are the bad behaviors?
Will: When people stash stuff here, use the kitchen as personal dinner making and make a mess and they leave their dishes and the food out.
Danny: But that is that the kitchen is getting used a lot more. And that is good. We just need to adjust. Maybe that's not the problem.
Danny: what can we do to talk with them, and what would we ask them to do?
Aestetix: we should feel free to go up to people and say This violated my personal boundary and i would prefer that you do it differently.
Al did a really good thing rather than make it "noisebridge rule" talk about how the behavior is offensive.
Danny: We do have a scaling problem with communication in general so let's not scapegoat a group or assume that everyone who does something objectionable is part of that group.
Miloh: Had conversation with Jonah and others about some activities not being really good for Noisebridge, like martial arts, yoga, and they didn't do that. But they do have Qi Gong classes.
Miloh: If an organized group comes in and wants to do stuff here, let's sit down and have a meeting with them right away! To establish what might work and what might not.
Danny: Some people really like them and what they do.
Let's be clear about this on the discuss list and also email the Free school people.
Baycon guy shows up with a check! YAY BAYCON!

Trash the Dress Shoot 2: Wendy
Here are the pics from the second Trash the Dress Shoot I participated in a few months ago. The bride was gorgeous! She's a tomboy at heart so we made sure to give her a very natural look...subtle smokey brown eyes and some plum lips. I used individual lashes to also give her some natural definition. I finally got to use one my lustre twins from the longwear release. But ehh...I'd give it a C for lasting coverage.
The shots came out great. Credits to Allan Levene Photography, Slava Slavik Photography, MMFotography, and Rhonda Klakow with Life to Image Photography.
Some working shots...here I am helping to hold the light reflector.
We first shot by an abandoned water tower. What a gorgeous background!
Then we shot in a really cool area with tin-roof buildings and vintage looking backgrounds.
This was shot in a dirty old bathroom. Ewww! She was a brave one!

Big in 2013
Although this elegantly updated 1860s apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris appears to have survived its long use entirely unscathed, when designer Klavs Rosenfalck first saw it, in 2008, the years had indeed left telltale signs, both in wear and aesthetic "upgrades." Being unoccupied since 1963 hadn't helped its condition, either, although disuse had protected the original architecture.
In the living room of a Paris apartment designed by Klavs Rosenfalck, the Vladimir Kagan sofa is vintage, the gilt console is attributed to Jacques Adnet, the Murano-glass chandelier is by Aristide Najean, and the silk rug is of Rosenfalck's own design; the bottle-green columnar sculpture is by Jean-Claude Farhi, and the "mask" stool is by Philippe Starck.
"The ornamentation was pretty much in place," says Rosenfalck, "some of it hidden under plywood, some under 150 years of dirt, which was so touching."
The master bath's flooring and backsplash are granite, and the countertop is marble; the light fixture is by Poul Henningsen, the chair is vintage American, and the bronze sculptures are by Arno Breker.

Toshiba Storage Device Division has announced a new family of 2.5" hard disk drives (HDDs) with 7200 RPM spindle speed and government-grade AES-256 hardware encryption incorporated in the disk drive's controller electronics. The new drives are designed for commercial notebooks and security-sensitive applications, including shared desktop PCs.
Toshiba's new family of self-encrypting drives features 160GB, 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB capacities and is based on one or two the latest-generation perpendicular magnetic recording platters with 512Gb/inch2 areal density. The drives feature 7200 RPM spindle speed, 16MB cache, Serial ATA-300 interface and feature 12ms average seek time.
Based on the Opal Security Subsystem Class (Opal SSC) specification from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), the new Toshiba self-encrypting drive (SED) family enables secure and quick deployment of encryption on notebook and desktop PCs to protect confidential information. SEDs designed to the Opal SSC specification provide advanced access authentication and built-in hardware data encryption. Because it is an open industry standard, Opal encourages broad support from both security solutions vendors and SED makers – enabling seamless management of most deployments that support both pre-existing software encryption and Opal SSC-specified SED storage.
The Toshiba AES-256 encryption algorithm implementation is certified by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through its Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP). In addition, access to the Toshiba MKxx61GSYD SED can be securely administered or disabled remotely, using capabilities such as those enabled by Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT).
"Encryption standards established by organisations such as The Trusted Computing Group are making it significantly easier to deploy security solutions such as self-encrypted HDDs on portable PCs. Toshiba is aiming squarely at the need for stronger data security by launching its new mobile 2.5" HDD with AES 256 encryption embedded in the drive hardware, and designed to The Trusted Computing Group's Opal SSC specification," said John Rydning, an IDC industry analyst.

Paintings by Dal Macon Jr., Union College instructor of arts and humanities, recently became a national focus at the 2012 Contemporary Realism Biennial exhibit.
Macon said a string of coincidences led him to enter his art for consideration in this exhibit, located at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in Fort Wayne, Ind.
"I received a postcard, as artists often do, telling me about the exhibit," Macon said. "I had not entered an exhibit in awhile, but I had a couple of paintings and decided to enter."
Macon's paintings, along with 68 other pieces of art, were selected for a display of "America's top realists," according to the exhibit's website. Macon considers the fact that his art was selected a huge compliment, as well as an opportunity.
"There is a nice satisfaction to being recognized, like my art is good enough to be appreciated by a stranger," Macon said. "But from the point of view of opening doors, if a person has a list of national exhibits they have been chosen for, that can be a reason to be included in another exhibit."
The first painting Macon entered is called "February Afternoon." It shows a bleak, gray day in winter that also conveys the hope that winter will be over soon, Macon said.
"There's something about the gray, overcast sky that has a definite feeling to it. It is in February, when winter has been going on for three months, and there's this perseverance of winter still going on," Macon said. "But there is a line of sun through the clouds to give the feeling that all is not lost."
His other painting, "Saturday Morning," uses very bright, light colors, and depicts a kitchen being highlighted by the morning sunrise.
"That general feeling of being up early in the morning—everyone else being in bed, the house being quiet—and seeing the sun come up inspired me to paint this scene," Macon said. "I really liked that feeling."
Contemporary realists like Macon try to make art appear as lifelike as possible. So much so, that most of Macon's paintings look more like photographs than they do actual paintings. The two pieces, "February Afternoon" and "Saturday Morning," will be displayed until October 28.

Back in June, I posted here about the negative impacts of global undernutrition as my colleagues and I prepared for Feed the Future's agriculture and food security Research Forum in Washington, D.C. This week, as I attend two meetings for the international Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement during UN General Assembly week in New York, I'm moved to reflect once again on the issue because, quite frankly, we can't give it enough attention.
The numbers haven't changed since my last post, nor should our sense of urgency. The fact remains that two billion people in the world do not consume enough nutrients to live healthy, productive lives; and nearly 200 million children under age 5 suffer from chronic undernutrition. To put that last number into perspective, that's about 24 times the population of the densely inhabited city where these UN meetings are currently taking place. That's 24 New York cities full of little children who deserve a better future.
Letting those kids down is simply not an option. Children suffering from undernutrition during the critical 1,000-day window between pregnancy and a child's second birthday face physical stunting and mental impairment that cannot be reversed. Later in life they experience poorer performance in school, which can lead to lower incomes in adulthood.
These statistics aren't just sad; they're unacceptable. That's why, through Feed the Future and the Global Health Initiative, the U.S. Government is supporting country-owned programs that address the root causes of undernutrition and improve the future potential of millions of people. With our support, countries like Tanzania, Guatemala, Uganda, and Mozambique have made great strides in making nutrition a national priority, and we applaud their efforts. As a development professional and as a father, I couldn't agree more.

The Mississippi College Alumni Association is finding more ways to keep in touch with its 30,000 alumni and friends. Facebook fan pages; MC Link, the alumni e-newsletter; and class notes posted on the association's MC Online Community are just a few examples of how the association is using new technology to network with old friends.
"This is a trend happening all over the country," says Ross Aven, director of alumni affairs. "The result is improved communication with alumni, no matter where those alumni are located or how they prefer to keep in touch. We're still using some tried and true methods of communicating – for example, the Beacon – but we're finding that newer options like Facebook pages are a quick, easy way for alumni to reconnect and plan events."
"I consider myself to be 'old school,' but I see Mississippi College using new technology to communicate as a good thing," says Gene Tullos '64, an attorney in Smith County, Mississippi. "Every method of keeping in touch with alumni is helpful."
For more information on the many ways to stay in touch with the MC community, contact Ross Aven at firstname.lastname@example.com, or try the traditional approach and call him at 601.925.3228. Whether you prefer old school or new school methods, Mississippi College is always happy to hear from you.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Major Fields of Study
In 2000 the Expeditions Council made possible Jean-François Pernette's exploration of the unknown caves and karst formations of Chile's Ultima Esperanza region. Pernette and his multinational team confirmed the extraordinary speleological potential of this region by mapping 30 technically challenging caves. You can't ask for more adventure than in chasing a tornado, as electronics engineer Tim Samaras and a team including photographer Carsten Peter did over the course of two summers. It was all part of their attempt to place "turtles" (probes that can measure a tornado's wind speed, direction, barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature) directly in the path of a funnel. Surviving violent storms and bridging treacherous crevasses, Børge Ousland and Thomas Ulrich traversed Southern Patagonia's Ice Field, one of the largest expanses of ice on Earth. Grantee Jon Bowermaster's adventures have taken him sea kayaking to such diverse locations as the heart of Alaska's Aleutian Islands, the coast of Vietnam, the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia, and South America's Altiplano—a massive, elevated flatland spanning portions of Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia.
The EC has also supported:
- Jenny Daltry's survey of Siamese crocodiles in the Cardamom Mountains
- Roman Dial's rain forest canopy treks in Australia and Borneo
- Mark Synnott's arduous month-long jungle adventure collecting plants and animals from the sheer rock face of the Guyana tepuis
- Lance Milbrand's sojourn as the only human on Clipperton atoll, among thousands of bright orange crabs and millions of seabirds
Nilda Callanaupa, master weaver and director of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco, headed a project highlighting the use of traditional Andean textiles in the festivities and rituals in remote communities of the Cusco region of Peru. The goal of this project was to document the production, use, and significance of textiles created for indigenous Quechua Indian festivals before these Inca-based traditions become lost or corrupted. The EC also funded the work of adventure photographer Nevada Wier, who led a team of six people hiking and rafting the length of the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia, from the headwaters at Lake Tana to the Sudanese border—a journey of some 500 miles (800 kilometers). During the month-long journey, the team encountered many people who live along the banks of the river and were offered unparalleled insight into their way of life. Karin Muller's 3,000-mile (4,800-kilometer) journey along South America's Royal Inca Highway included a wild ride in a traditional reed boat she made herself. For Muller, a frequent and popular guide on National Geographic-sponsored trips, traveling is all about making meaningful connections with the local communities she passes through.
Carsten Peter led a team of volcanologists and alpinists in exploring and photographing the explosive peaks and steam-pocked glaciers of Kamchatka, a Russian land of more than a hundred volcanoes. One project yielding impressive finds was Johan Reinhard's expedition to excavate Inca ruins on the summits of three Andean volcanoes above 18,000 feet (5,500 meters). He discovered three remarkably preserved mummies on Argentina's Mount Llullaillaco, the world's highest archaeological site. In 2001 Peter Frost led a team of archaeologists high atop Cerro Victoria in the Vilcabamba region of the Peruvian Andes to map and study the ruins of a large settlement that shows evidence of Inca occupation. German adventure photographer Carsten Peter and his team of explorers and scientists made a difficult journey through the dense jungle of Vanuatu, an island in the South Pacific to study and document two active volcanoes. The team spent two weeks surrounded by turbulent magma lakes, poisonous gases, and violent storms. Luckily their treacherous, thousand-foot (300-meter) rappels into the active volcano craters resulted in an interesting study and unique photographic coverage. The EC also helped fund:
- Todd Skinner's free climb of the main face of the 3,600-foot (1,100-meter) granite tower of Ulamertorsuaq in Greenland
- Brad Washburn's Mount Everest snow-depth expeditions
- Ed Viesturs's quest to climb 14 of the world's 8,000-meter (26,000-foot) peaks
Natural History and Conservation
Wildlife Conservation Society biologist J. Michael Fay's 15-month walk through more than 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) of pristine central African forest—called the African Megatransect—was directly supported by an EC grant. The primary goals of the expedition were to study the correlation between large-mammal abundance and human influence across the central African rain forests of Congo and Gabon as well as to evaluate other environmental and conservation issues. As a direct result of the powerful media coverage of the Megatransect, 13 national parks have been created in Gabon—an unprecedented achievement in conservation on the African continent. Another EC expedition located the remote birthing ground of the endangered chiru, also known as the Tibetan antelope. During a demanding 30-day trek, mountaineer and team leader Rick Ridgeway, climber Conrad Anker, wilderness photographer Galen Rowell, and videographer Jimmy Chin followed a herd of female chiru through Tibet's northern Chang Tang Plateau. Photographs and footage of the never before documented site were used to help wildlife biologists persuade authorities to expand protected areas to include the chiru birthing ground. In 2001 British explorer John Hare followed the path of Hanns Vischer. Vischer was an early explorer whose epic 1906 camel journey across the then unmapped Sahara made him one of the foremost explorers of his day. Using camels and armed with Vischer's maps and notes, Hare traveled nearly 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) and recorded the changes that have taken place in the last hundred years to the people in northern Nigeria, Niger, and Libya. As founder of the Wild Camel Protection Foundation, Hare also sought to raise international awareness of the critically endangered wild Bactrian camel. A 1999 EC grant given to John Hare took him to Nanhu, an unexplored area of China's Gashun Gobi, to investigate and survey the Bactrian camels in that remote desert valley.
Underwater Exploration
George Bass—the recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Science in 2002 in recognition of his research in the field of underwater archaeology—received two grants from the Expeditions Council. In 2000 Bass and his team from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) initiated a long-term survey of important ancient shipwrecks along the Turkish coast. One discovery—the only sixth-century B.C. wreck known in the eastern Mediterranean—is now under excavation. More recently, Bass appointed classical archaeologist Faith Hentschel to continue his underwater survey work off the coast of Turkey using the INA submersible Carolyn. Other notable grantees include:
- Wesley "Rocky" Strong's white shark behavior study off the coast of South Africa
- Mike Heithaus's investigation of tiger sharks in Western Australia's Shark Bay
- Marine biologist Nancy Black's killer whale research off the coast of California

So you want to be a conservationist? Think of the community
When we consider all the conservation challenges facing our world and society, we know that communicating effectively to the community is not only helpful but necessary. However, many inspiring projects in various conservation areas have failed to succeed—not because the scientific background was not there or because the financial resources were unavailable—but because the community's support was not entirely there. One of the elements to a successful conservation project is a strong connection to the community, especially during the early stages of project planning.
