While riding the New York subway one warm night in 1922, Hotchkiss-schooled, Yale-educated Henry Robinson Luce conjured the name of his epoch-defining magazine after spotting an arresting advertising placard.
Tycoon-to-be Luce stared. "TIME FOR A CHANGE," he read. Time! Of course! Luce (anxious, expectant, ambitious, and — now — almost triumphant) would call his magazine Time.
Luce's business partner, psychic rival, and fellow denizen of New Haven's most elite secret club, Skull & Bones, was professional golden boy Brit Hadden. Hadden concurred with Luce's genius: Time it would be. But not before Hadden added his own bit of flash. Time, Hadden decreed, would be . . . (drum roll), a "news magazine."
Thus were born an icon of a publication, a groundbreaking genre, and the makings of an imperial media empire that, 88 years later, would outstrip founder Luce's stable of worthy Presbyterian inventions — Time, Life, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated — to include the vulgar, down-market, and obscenely profitable People, the amusing middle-brow confection Entertainment Weekly, the slick and vacuous InStyle, as well as the accessibly chic, almost provocative Hollywood-cable niche Home Box Office. Mass-cult content had merged with mid-cult audience to produce annual revenue of approximately $26 billion — despite the perennial disappointment and constant drag of CNN and its wraith-like, geezer headliner, Larry King.
What would dour, dutiful, power-obsessed Hank (as his intimates called him) make of good old Larry? The mind reels, backward . . .
'Almost perfectly designed'
Alan Brinkley, the Allan Nevins Professor of American History at Columbia University, has done journalism junkies and students of popular culture an immense service by rescuing Luce from the confines of footnotes and the mist of legend with his new study, The Publisher: Henry Luce and His American Century.
Luce was one of a quartet of Americans who hailed from the middle of nowhere and emerged during the Roaring Twenties to reengineer a thriving journalistic marketplace, which outside of big cities was hokey and limited, but nevertheless extremely literate. These were, of course, the days before television's narcotic began to corrode and compromise public intelligence. The challenges of the Great Depression, the 1950s boom in domesticity, the trials of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam all fortified a public insatiable for things to read, to be entertained or enlightened via words and images on a printed page.
Luce was not the only one to intuit this need. Harold Ross founded the New Yorker in 1925. DeWitt Wallace started Reader's Digest in 1922. A Washington, DC–based wire-service reporter named W.M. Kiplinger in 1920 launched what grew into an eponymous family of weekly newsletters, giving the John and Jane Does of middle America access to inside political skinny and sophisticated financial and tax advice. And it was during this time that the syndicated newspaper column came into its own.
Before Rupert Murdoch (whose News Corporation harvests $30 billion in annual revenues), there was Luce. And before Luce, there were the press barons Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and Robert McCormick. This swashbuckling trio of nativist nationalists cultivated working-class audiences with pungent headlines and sensational stories. Meanwhile, Adolph Ochs — and the New York Times he made respectable — sold the growing cadres of the haute bourgeoisie on the virtues of balanced reporting and understated display while simultaneously nurturing a reform-minded, internationalist point of view.

NHTSA — Electronic Stability Control Problems
2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid (Page 4 of 4)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The Camry Hybrid's first year is a mixed bag of brake actuators failing and power issues. The hybrid version even shares the same excessive oil consumption as its non-hybrid counterpart. And it hardly gets enough fuel efficiency gains to warrant the extra costs up-front or during repairs.
Toyota seemed to get their act together with later model years, so if you're looking for a used Camry Hybrid I suggest looking there.

LED holiday lights versus traditional lights, which is better?
With the holiday season getting under way, many homeowners are digging out their holiday decorations.
With so many choices, many are wondering if LED lights are worth the extra initial cost.
Colorado Springs Utilities said while the lights are more expensive to buy, they will save consumers money in the long run.
LED, which stands for light-emitting diode, holiday lights use 90 percent less energy than traditional lights, according to CSU.
Cheron Cole, CSU spokesperson, said LED holiday lights can also last up to 100 times longer than traditional lights.
"You may see a lower sticker price on a different set of lights and think that's the way to go, but, think about how that will affect your bill in the long run. Is it going to last longer? Is it going to be safer?" said Cole.
Cole said LED lights emit less heat, which poses less risk of a fire or burns.
Because they are covered in plastic rather than glass, LED lights are also less prone to break when dropped.
Cole suggested shoppers look for the blue "Energy Star" label on the packages of holiday lights, as this will indicate the lights are energy efficient. More information on "Energy Star" can be found here.
CSU is hosting a holiday light exchange and open house event on Saturday, Dec. 1.
At the event, CSU customers can exchange two incandescent old holiday light strings for two LED strings.
Strings will be accepted between 8 a.m. and noon at the Conservation and Environmental Center, located at 2855 Mesa Road in Colorado Springs.
According to CSU, "All proceeds from the recycled lights will benefit Project COPE, providing utilities payment assistance to families and individuals in need."
For more information on the event, click here.
The lights will be distributed based on availability, so Cole suggests arriving at the event early.

Mrs. Nadeau and I dropped in for a pre-cinema sniff on what I remembered as authentic Sichuan dishes: tangerine beef ($13.95), Sichuan kung bao chicken ($9.95), and basil Chinese eggplant ($8.95). Instead of food the way Szechwan food used to taste, however, there we were with breaded, deep-fried slices of beef the size of a small hamburger patty, studded with bits of tangerine peel in a gloopy sweet sauce. You know you are in General Gau's personal dungeon for pretentious Anglos when the server puts down a fork with your chopsticks and the dish is in pieces that need to be cut with a knife (which you don't have).
The diced chicken and peanuts we could at least eat in a civilized way, and the breading was light enough that we could taste the meat and little bit of spice. The basil eggplant — not a classic Sichuan dish — was delicious. I've seldom had a bad eggplant dish under East Asian auspices.
I knew, of course, that this fiasco was my own fault. I knew this because of the refreshing assortment of half-pickled chopped vegetables placed on the table with the menus. And I knew because the rice was outstanding.
A week later, after a more careful study of the Chowhound flame war and other arcane texts, I had a plan. I was going to start our order with the beef tendon with "spicy wonder" sauce ($7.25). The waitress said, "It's tendon. Have you had that before?" I said, "Sure, I know, tendon."
She still wasn't sure. She said, "It's very spicy?" I said, "Spicy, great. Yes!"
As in a fairy tale, there had to be three tests. "It's a cold dish," she said. Mrs. Nadeau replied, "It's a hot night. A cold dish would be good."

If you were any kind of fan at all, watching the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica on television was a transcending experience. It was easy to immerse oneself into the story of Cylons, family and survival. Although the ending to the series didn't live up to my own expectations, the journey was amazing television I'll be happy to relive again and again on DVD.
Some Swedes elevated that experience into its next evolutionary plane of existence: Reality (or at least, physicality). The Monitor Celestra is a BSG LARP (live-action role-playing game) set on an old Cold War battleship. For three days, participants will look and act the part of a Galactica-era crew of refugees, soldiers and suits trying to overcome obstacles engineered into the game. The event repeats itself for three weekends in March, creating 420 spots for a great sci-fi weekend.
Frak yeah. Continue Reading "The Monitor Celestra Puts BSG on a Real Frakkin' Battleship" »

It would be a mistake to think of the New Jersey Independent South Asian Cinefest, to be held Oct. 9 to 11, mostly at Rutgers University in Piscataway and New Brunswick, as New Jersey's own Bollywood extravaganza.Read More
The Fourth New Jersey Independent South Asian Cine Fest (NJISACF) 2010, produced by the Asian American Film and Theater Project, will take place on October 30, 2010, at the BIG CINEMAS in Edison, New Jersey, USA. This year the festival will be a one-day event and will showcase independent films by or about South Asian women from all over the world that challenges the stereotypical and traditional portrayal of South Asian women in mainstream commercial cinema. The festival will also feature filmmaker Q&As and panel discussions with participation from scholars and academics from a variety of disciplines.
An increasing number of South Asian women from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, Europe and North America are taking part in film productions in various capacities – as a film director or a director of photography or screenplay writer or an expert in the art department. Yet, women filmmakers, and especially, South Asian women filmmakers, from South Asia and the South Asian diaspora, are one of the most under-represented in the history of cinema, at film festivals and at all other exhibition venues. Of all the thousands of film festivals across the globe, only about 10% focus on films by women. Women's film festivals are only about 2% of more than 5,000 film festivals held in North America. How South Asian women are perceived in multi-cultural societies, is largely dependent on how they are portrayed in mainstream commercial cinema. Those perceptions need to be challenged.
NJISACF 2010 will feature a one-day film program showcasing feature, documentary and short films from across the globe dealing with issues affecting women of South Asian descent; filmmaker Q&As: and Panel Discussions on the following topics: a) Changing Representations of Women in South Asian Cinema; b) South Asian Women Reshaping their Identity : a discussion on South Asian Diasporic Women Filmmakers.
The New Jersey Independent South Asian Film Festival (NJISACF) is the first and only of its kind South Asian cine fest held in New Jersey. Asian American Film and Theater Project, a non-profit tax-exempt organization based in USA, is committed to the promotion, production and exhibition of film and theater works that reflect the diverse experiences of the Asian diaspora across the globe. Through NJSACF, our mission is to introduce our target audience of about 250,000 South Asians as well as the mainstream American population in the New Jersey-Pennsylvania-New York-Connecticut area to some of the alternative brilliant films that reflect the complex experiences of being a South Asian in the 21st century perhaps more truthfully than some of the big banner commercial films do. Along with this, NJSACF also introduces and promotes the South Asian independent filmmakers.

Jeff Goodman's Mock Draft 3.0
Embiid, Wiggins, Parker all in play for No. 1 overall slot
360-degree draft profiles | Lottery draft guides | Ford workout reports
The NBA's draft lottery is more than a week in the rearview mirror and now we've had a chance to accumulate some intel with the NBA draft now just about a month away.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a difficult decision to make -- choosing between Joel Embiid, Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker. Who gets the nod?
Here's my third mock, based on the latest information I've gathered.
Remember, this isn't a mock draft based on what I would do. It's based on info gathered from NBA executives, college coaches and other industry sources. It's my hunch based on what I've heard so far.
Analysis: Cavs GM David Griffin has a difficult decision to make between the 7-foot Embiid and a pair of contrasting forwards: Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker. Multiple sources insist that the Cavs favor Embiid as long as the medical info regarding the back injury that kept him off the court in March checks out clean.
Analysis: The Bucks will have a choice between the ultra-athletic Wiggins and the skilled Parker if Embiid is off the board. That will be an agonizing decision for GM John Hammond, who will balance taking the more-NBA ready Parker and Wiggins, who appears to have the higher upside. Hammond can ill afford to miss here, and that will be why he ultimately goes with Parker.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — New developments tonight in the investigation into the death of 33-year-old Michael Smith. His body was found last week in a Monkey Junction parking lot. Now investigators say he was the victim of a murder.
Deputies have arrested and charged 30-year-old Charles Saliba for Smith's murder. Investigators say Smith was found Thursday with bullet wounds outside the Blockbuster on South College Road.
New Hanover County Sheriff's deputies arrested Saliba just 14 hours after finding Smith's body. Sheriff Ed McMahon says the swift arrest was due to the combined effort of detectives and the District Attorney's Office.
"Detectives worked overnight and through the weekend, but everyone working together enabled to bring the beginning of justice and charge this gentleman with first degree murder," McMahon said.
The murder investigation continues.
District Attorney Ben David says they do not know of a motive right now.
Saliba will make his first appearance in court on the murder charge tomorrow morning.

Detroit Film Theatre
(France/2011—directed by Paul Lacoste)
French chef Michel Bras, one of the most influential chefs in the world, has decided to hand over his renowned 3-Michelin-Star restaurant to his son Sébastien. Having worked with his father for 15 years, Sébastien feels he's ready. But it's not easy to take over the family business when your father is a master in his field. Filmed in the gorgeous Aubrac region in the South of France, home to the Bras family for generations, Step Up To The Plate (Entre les Bras) offers a rare glimpse into the Bras' culinary process while capturing one of the most closely watched transitions in the world of haute cuisine. And for those of us who may never make the journey to Bras's restaurant, the images of his culinary creations is more than enough reason to drop in. San Francisco, Seattle and Silverdocs Film Festivals. In French with English subtitles. (89 min.)

Discussion in 'North America - Canada' started by iceman68, Apr 18, 2009.
Just curious - anyone on here into drag racing ?
I go to all of the drag racing at Norwalk Raceway in Ohio, and also the drag races at National Trail Raceway in Columbus Ohio. I am a spectator only but love the sounds a 10,000 horsepower dragster makes when it comes off the line, it is an adrenaline rush like nothing else on the planet! Last year we went to the Bike Drags and that was really something to see in person, and then we go to the Jet truck drags where they have semi trucks and school buses that go 200+ mph down the 1/4 mile. Our favorite bracket is the outlaw racing that is very popular today, plus we always like to see the altered funny cars too. My dad always wanted to go down the track in a funny car, and my dream would be to drive one of those 200mph Harley's down the track! HOLD ON>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:gasp:
That's cool....
I do some racing up here in a series called the Ontario Street Car Association - classes ranging from Super Street 10.5 to heads up index classes and a couple of comp classes to. It's great racing and lots of action in the heads up classes.
I generally make a pass or two every year at our local track ( Cayuga). Would like to get more involved in bracket racing but can't seem to dedicate the time needed to be competitive. I love the sport!!
TRPLXL2...Last year I spent the weekend in Norwalk for the Pinks All Out Event. Without a doubt one the most spectacular tracks in North America!!!
I love drag racing. My Formula is not really fast enough for heads-up, but it does pretty good in the bracket racing. I did a lot of racing back 10 or so years ago and I am trying to get back to the track more now. Here is a short, crude video of my Formula at the track last month. It's the first time it has been down the track since 2000. This is at a local 1/8 mile track on street tires. Could probably drop another .4 with some tuning and slicks.
love drag racing, i dont do it much but i've grown up around it...my grandpa and dad did it alot...granpda recently retired from it and dad hasnt done it in a while...im hoping to get ahold of his car...not the fastest but its a fun car, its a 72 vega with a mostly stock 427 chevy sb
I was also at the Pink's all out drags at Norwalk, we were going to camp but at the last moment they changed it to where no one could stay on site after the gates closed. I absolutely love to go to Norwalk for a weekend event, and the camping makes it awesome especially at the Super Chevy weekend. Nothing but Chevy's allowed (cars, trucks, vans, suv's) AND ABSOLUTELY NO FOEIGN CARS!!!!!
I consider myself fortunate to only be 45 minutes from the track, we take all of our cars out there for different events. It is nice to be able to see a car being all shined up and showy, and then 4 hours later see it tearing it up down the track for the crowd. One thing I couldn't get over at the Pink's event was how many guys jumped the start and got disqalified, Chris's hand signals are very confusing because he actually drops his hands twice and sometimes he does it harder than others. I know a lot of people in the stands were complaining because of that too, hopefully Pink's will come back in the future for another show.:glasses:
I've always raced at Area 51 dragway in Roswell, NM...haven't been there lately since i moved away but it was good times when i was there
Hey bUCKOLA....I'll be down at Cayuga for the 23rd and 24th for the first points race in our series for 09. I know what you mean...I couldn't spend all the time required in the local bracket series...too many weekends and I like to do other things with the family. That's why this series is so good - it's basically 5 - 6 races each summer and you are competing in a real points series, with an awards banquet at the end of the season....come out and check it out....you'll love it for sure. website for the series is www.raceosca.com
The OSCA series is one I usualy attend with my little nephew...great cars and the competition is tight. This year were going to the Arm Drop live event so I'm nor sure if we'll make it . What car do you race...Im sure I've seen it. Good Luck!!!
Separate names with a comma.

That looks pretty great!The concavity of the wheels doesn't seem that deep -- how do you avoid the treads coming off when you turn in place?
Do you think that a v-belt would have enough traction on its own to use as tread? If not I'm sure I could find some rubber tape or do something similar to the bike tires. I was thinking I might not even have to splice/staple if I can get a close fit then just add a tensioner.

lab realistic, report ?
I'll probably take the oscp course this month but i have few questions about it.
About the report, do we have to make a report about the box we could pwn in the lab, or we only have to make a report about the final exam ? (I'm a little bit scared about the report)
How the lab is realistic ? (Is there some fake data, mails… that are transmitted through the differents networks and box that we have to reach, so we might have to sniff the network to steal some credentials… ?)
Thanks for your answers.

Gastroparesis is a condition in which the spontaneous movement of the muscles (motility) in your stomach does not function normally.
Ordinarily, strong muscular contractions propel food through your digestive tract. But in gastroparesis, your stomach's motility works poorly or not at all. This prevents your stomach from emptying properly. Gastroparesis can interfere with normal digestion, cause nausea and vomiting, and cause problems with blood sugar levels and nutrition.
The cause of gastroparesis is usually unknown. When this is the case, it's called idiopathic gastroparesis (IG). When people who have diabetes develop gastroparesis, it's called diabetic gastroparesis (DG). Some people develop gastroparesis after surgery.
There is no cure for gastroparesis, but changes to your diet, along with medication, can offer some relief.
Signs and symptoms of gastroparesis include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
It's not always clear what leads to gastroparesis. But in many cases, gastroparesis is believed to be caused by damage to a nerve that controls the stomach muscles (vagus nerve).
The vagus nerve helps manage the complex processes in your digestive tract, including signaling the muscles in your stomach to contract and push food into the small intestine. A damaged vagus nerve can't send signals normally to your stomach muscles. This may cause food to remain in your stomach longer, rather than move normally into your small intestine to be digested.
The vagus nerve can be damaged by diseases, such as diabetes, or by surgery to the stomach or small intestine.
Factors that can make it difficult for your stomach to empty properly include:
Young and middle-aged women are most likely to develop idiopathic gastroparesis.
Gastroparesis can cause several complications, such as:
You're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs and symptoms of gastroparesis. If your doctor suspects you may have gastroparesis, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in digestive diseases (gastroenterologist). You may also be referred to a dietitian who can help you choose foods that are easier to process.
Because appointments can be brief, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. To prepare, try to:
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For gastroparesis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared, don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Doctors use several tests to help diagnose gastroparesis and rule out conditions that may cause similar symptoms. Tests may include:
Treating gastroparesis begins with identifying and treating the underlying condition. If diabetes is causing your gastroparesis, your doctor can work with you to help you control it. Beyond this, other gastroparesis treatments may include the following.
Your doctor may refer you to a dietitian who can work with you to find foods that are easier for you to digest, so that you're more likely to get enough calories and nutrients from the food you eat. A dietitian might suggest that you try to:
Medications to treat gastroparesis may include:
Medications to control nausea and vomiting. Anti-emetic medications include prochlorperazine (Compro), thiethylperazine and diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Unisom). A class of medications that includes ondansetron (Zofran) is sometimes used to help nausea and vomiting.
Researchers continue to investigate new medications to treat gastroparesis.
Some people with gastroparesis may be unable to tolerate any food or liquids. In these situations, doctors may recommend a feeding tube (jejunostomy tube) be placed in the small intestine. Or doctors may recommend a gastric venting tube to help relieve pressure from gastric contents.
Feeding tubes can be passed through your nose or mouth or directly into your small intestine through your skin. The tube is usually temporary and is only used when gastroparesis is severe or when blood sugar levels can't be controlled by any other method. Some people may require an IV (parenteral) feeding tube that goes directly into a vein in the chest.
There is some evidence that acupuncture can be helpful to people with gastroparesis, although more studies are needed. Various treatments that are used for nausea in other conditions may be helpful in treating nausea in gastroparesis, such as ginger and the use of a skin patch (transdermal drug delivery of anti-emetics). Acupressure, biofeedback and hypnotherapy may be helpful as well.

Latest on Grady Sizemore
Don't expect free-agent outfielder Grady Sizemore to sign with a team anytime soon.
Sizemore, 30, underwent microfracture surgery on his right knee in September, and does not want to commit to a team until he is ready to play again, according to his agent, Joe Urbon.
"It could be Opening Day. It could be midseason," Urbon said. "Midseason is more likely."
Urbon said that a number of teams have expressed interest in Sizemore, and that some have offered to sign him and allow him to rehabilitate at his own pace.
Sizemore, however, felt like he tried to rush back last season to fulfill his one-year, $5 million free-agent contract with the Cleveland Indians. As it turned out, he did not play a single game.
By waiting, the three-time All-Star can simply focus on his recovery without being specifically obligated to a team. Once healthy, he still will be young enough to play for a number of years.

"Chanukah is a time of miracles, renewed hope and rejuvenation for all of the potentials that we hold as individuals and as a society," said Rosalind Horowitz, UTSA professor of discourse and literacy studies and Hillel adviser. "The candle lights suggest sparks of new energy are possible and innovative thinking and living."
On each night of Chanukah, also known as the festival of lights, the menorah is lit to commemorate a miracle, which occurred after the Jews proclaimed victory over the Syrian armies in 165 B.C.E. When Jews (the Maccabbees) came to rededicate the temple, which had been defiled by the Syrians, they found only one small flask of oil with which to light the menorah, a candelabra used for worship. The flask contained enough oil for one day, yet the lamp burned for eight days, which allowed time to find a new supply of oil.
Today, Jews celebrate Chanukah (or Hanukkah) for eight days by lighting candles in a menorah every night to commemorate the eight-day miracle. In Hebrew, Chanukah means "dedication."
For more information, call the Hillel office at (210) 458-2008.

If you studied a non-law degree but wish to become a lawyer, you must take a conversion course known as the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL). Some institutions may refer to it as the Common Professional Exam, but this is the old name for it and the terms are interchangeable.
The GDL is a one-year, full-time course designed to provide non-law graduates with a diploma equivalent to a law degree. It forms the common basis for non-law graduate entry to both the solicitors' and barristers' professions. Indeed, without a law degree or the GDL you cannot become a solicitor (unless you take the non-graduate, CILEx route). The course can also be taken over two years either part time or by distance learning. However, whichever way you get on the course, the GDL is an intensive, demanding programme.
With MyLC.N you can safely store and organise your career research, for free.

Johan Djourou expects an intense title race this season with more contenders than ever - but he thinks Arsenal will have the edge.
The traditional Big Four of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool filled the top four spots in the Premier League for four consecutive seasons until 2010 when Tottenham finally broke up that quartet, while Manchester City secured a Champions League place last season.
Liverpool were the team to drop out of the top four on both occasions but they have invested heavily in recent months under new manager Kenny Dalglish while City's riches should see them strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes.
Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson predicted this week that any one of those six clubs could be crowned champions and Djourou can understand why.
"I agree," he told Arsenal.com. "It was always going to be the case.
"For the past decade it has been the same teams but now the money comes in at a team like Man City and they spend a lot to deliver. Tottenham as well are making ground, they have got some great players too.
"You have to fight and that's what makes the English league so good to watch because there is competition. We know there are favourites but there are outside teams who can make trouble.
"As players we have to be on our toes but I think Arsenal is still on top because even if I look at last season, the problem before was that we couldn't beat the biggest teams but last season we didn't have any problem with that.
"So I think we just need to get those little things right and it will be great for us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

NEA Health Information Network's school crisis guide The HIN guide contains information about long-term needs and mental health, among other subjects. A National Tragedy: Helping Children Cope Tips from the National Association of School Psychologists for parents and educators. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: The Basics A collection of information compiled by the NEA HIN from the Office on Women's Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Helping Children Deal with Tragic Events in the News: Timeless wisdom from Fred Rogers for parents, caregivers and teachers Advice compiled by the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media Coping with Violence: Online Resources from the National Association for the Education of Young Children Online resources for those working with young children about coping with violence and talking to young children about tragedies they learn about in the media. Following the Newtown tragedy, the Boston Marathon bombings and the Oklahoma tornadoes, there have ongoing exchanges on our Facebook and Twitter pages. We encourage you to join these conversations. Finally, the NEA Health Information Network provides the following advice for recovery: Rest: It's human nature to want to be all things to all people in the aftermath of a crisis but what's recommended is making sure that folks get regular rest periods. This includes making sure people remember to sleep.Buddy System: Pairing people with a buddy can facilitate normal talk and support while helping combat overwork and/or internalizing worries, fantasies, and concerns. Water and Food: Often, caregivers can "forget" to take care of themselves. Not eating or drinking can cause people to "burn out." Remind folks that they can't take care of anyone else until they've taken care of themselves.Listen: Engage people in conversation of their choosing – getting people to talk is an important first step, and it does not have to involve their feelings or the incident in initial conversations. Talking about the events of usual life is part of health, and being an outlet – offering a shoulder to lean on – can be a real difference-maker.Smile: It really helps.

terrible terrible uppercut hack for a pop fly to center by Cairo
I can't wait until Rolen gets back so we can go with a Rolen/Frazier platoon at third instead of Frazier/Cairo. (I know Frazier has back spasms tonight. Doesn't change my point.)
Hanigan robbed of a hit
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Santiago makes a nice play. Hanigan is one guy that couldn't beat that out.
Tigers' lineup rivals the Yankees?! Haha. I've heard it all. Here's the deal about the Tigers' lineup: They have the best three-hole/cleanup tandem in MLB ... then a bunch of "Mehs." Don't believe me? Ask any Tiger fan.
Latos strikes out. Porceloo has good breaking stuff but he's hardly overpowering - more of a finesse pitcher
I guess I like their lineup better than you Blitz - I like it better than the Reds except for Votto

Fresh into the new year, some of us have made resolutions that have come and gone already, and that's OK. I feel that January gets too much hype with goal-setting. After a whirlwind of holiday hustle and bustle, the only thing I really want to do is savor the monotony of January and put my to-do list on the back burner. But there is something about the clean slate of a new planner that lends a glimmer of hope towards making positive changes or completing projects too long idle. So this month's inspiration comes from that planner and some ideas I stumbled upon online.
I thought it important to include our kids in the midst of this resolution-making. Goals are not relegated to adulthood, and as a family activity, can provide everyone with motivation and encouragement to help meet those goals. In this blog post http://www.oneperfectdayblog.net/2013/01/07/setting-goals-with-kids-and-the-sunday-parenting-party/ from Ness at One Perfect Day, she shares a set of questions she came up with to prompt the goal-setting discussion with her 4 year old. These are great for generating ideas about what things may be a priority for you and your family in 2014.
What would you like to learn this year?
How would you like to spend more time together as a family?
What would you like to do more of this year?
What kind or helpful thing would you like to do this year? (See November's post for ideas)
Once you and the kids have had a chance to hash out some ideas and narrow down some goals, start implementing the SMART method. Attributed to Peter Drucker's management concepts, the term first appeared in November 1981 magazine article – over 30 years ago! The mnemonic stands for:
Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Time-related
Most goals fail because they are not specific and have no real plan for being accomplished. One of my son's goals after his fall teacher conference was to "try harder to get my assignments done" - too vague to measure and ripe for failure. Unfortunately many of us adults make the same kind of goals – start exercising, get more sleep, eat healthier. The SMART method requires you to set concrete guidelines that might look like this:
Specific - I will track all my assignments in my daily planner.
Measurable - There will be no missing assignments in any of my classes.
Attainable – If I write down all my assignments, I won't forget what needs to be done.
Relevant- Missing assignments bring my grades down.
Time-bound - At the end of the quarter, my grades should have improved.
Some sources take it a step farther, making it SMARTER and adding Evaluate and Re-evaulate to the method allowing for a review once the goal is met (or not).
A great craft to go along with your resolution making is one that features reaching hands, found at http://alonganderson.blogspot.com/search?q=goal-setting . Each family member can trace their hand and forearm on a large piece of construction paper, color or decorate with crayons, pint, stickers, etc., and then cut out and put all the hands together on a larger piece of posterboard or cardboard. If doing individual posters for younger children, it may be helpful to write the SMART guidelines on a separate piece of paper and attach to the poster as a visible reminder. Write the goal on a post-it and place it on your hand. Adding stars is a nice touch and you can take it further still by indicating a reward associated with that goal (write it on the star). It can be a direct result of the goal, like raising my grade from a B to an A in math, or something more tangible like going to the movies with a friend. Rewards are a great motivator! Once a goal is met, change the post-it and guidelines to start on another goal if you like.
If one of your resolutions is to spend more time together as a family, be sure to take advantage of the many Cleveland area events in celebration of Martin Luther King Day beginning this weekend.
Please stop by and pick up materials to help you reach your goals! From self-help books to DIY videos, we are your source for learning something new this year. Til next time, stay warm!

No one needs to be reminded that as a population we are ageing and impossible demands are being placed on funding our health requirements. However, I am perturbed that the medical device supply market is seen as increasing costs as new technology is introduced.
This is patently untrue. The New Zealand medical device market is some 5.6 per cent of health spending, amounting to around $850 million. And over the past three years - during which the Consumer Price Index has risen 8.3 per cent - 42 per cent of devices have reduced in price, 8 per cent matched the CPI increase and 50 per cent had no price change.
What is obvious is that as governments authorise further new procedure funding, up goes the spending on medical devices, not the cost of the device.
Any technology that reduces cost while providing benefit for the patient has got to be good. Look at what endoscopic surgery did for patient welfare and length of bed stays, or stents for certain vascular problems.
In October 2009, Health Minister Tony Ryall said: "The Government is committed to ... (a) focus on value for money with resources moving from administration and low priority spending into more important front-line services".
If the Government is serious about saving money we need to take a serious look at our spending on property (hospitals) and staff (bureaucracy).
Clinicians are valuable and deliver at the front end, whereas spending on more health bureaucrats does not.
An example is that the Government wishes to tie us to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration in the interests of closer economic relations.
In Australia, the TGA employs 672 people to regulate the supply of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. That is 672 people to service 22 million people.
Add our 4.3 million and we are possibly looking at another 126 people to be employed by the TGA to be paid for by us.
Our Ministry of Health at present employs three people and operates a web-assisted notification system to control access to our device market. Our hospitals rarely purchase a device unless it has European or United States Federal Drug Administration certification.
In Australia the TGA wants to check devices already approved by the world's notifying bodies (which issue confirmation certificates) and will not have a bar of the US process.
Has this made devices in Australia safer than in New Zealand?
Australia has more than its share of medical device events despite its 672 TGA staff (such as faulty breast implants and hip replacements, Celebrex pain tablets and Pan Pharmaceuticals).
At present medical devices in Australia cost significantly more than devices with identical global certification in New Zealand.
The SA 127,570,000 system is funded by health industry participants in Australia who in turn on-charge this to Australian taxpayers as part of the cost of the device. It would be no different in New Zealand.
Currently the TGA is criticised by industry as costly, slow, reducing competition and clinical choice, and being extremely bureaucratic and subject to little control.
Recent decisions by the TGA were to change the payment of fees from three months in advance to a year in advance (a huge cashflow hit to all and sundry) and a demand to have a TGA-specific number imprinted on every medical device sold in Australia (the TGA eventually admitted that such a requirement was a manufacturing impossibility).
It is little wonder that it is now subject to major reform by its federal minister.
But does it learn? While under reform, the TGA business plan specifically refers to the necessity for recruiting even more staff to "meet the demand" and the New Zealand work is very much part of that business plan.
For political tradeoff reasons (CER) the Government wants transtasman certification for therapeutic products. It has produced no evidence that our devices will become safer; yet existing devices will become subject to annual fees (payable to Australia) and this cost will be passed straight on to our district health boards. For what?
Why save money on one hand (national procurement initiatives) and blow it with the other? The $30 million a year cost could buy a lot of procedures in New Zealand.

A long time ago in the mists of prehistory, events happened on this planet that have come down to us concealed in legend, engraved in stone and written in ancient
languages on clay tablets. Highly advanced civilizations have been here before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophy.
But for each that has died out another has taken its place with a selected few holding on to the memories and sacred knowledge of the past.
Be prepared for a new paradigm, a different look at reality, as pieces of this ancient puzzle are snapped together.
The Planet X Video produced by Robert Sepehr in an effort to inform and make public what has been witheld or forgotten by the masses for millennia.
|Nancy Lieder has suggested that a worldwide cataclysm may strike the Earth in the near future. The cause will be a planet, known to the ancients but as of yet officially undiscovered by modern man, which passes near the earth as part of its normal 3600 year orbit.
|Lloyd Pye expands on the ancient Sumerian knowledge that a race of beings, depicted as the "gods" in creation myths and religions, visited the earth in the distant past from a planet known to them as Nibiru (Planet X) and genetically manipulated hominid DNA on earth.
|Jason Martell is a websmaster who links Planet X to Zecharia Sitchin's Nibiru. In his interview, Jason discusses the ways information is being leeked out in the media regarding Planet X and touches on the ancient Sumerian data, comparing it to current findings by NASA.
|Mark Hazlewood is a controversial author who believes that there is clear empirical scientific and historical evidence demonstrating the effects of Planet X on the earth in the past and that its return is likely in the near future.
|James McCanney was on the faculty of the Physics and Mathematics Departments of Cornell University. His work was in theoretical celestial mechanics and plasma physics. Having presented his theories at the Los Alamos National labs, James McCanney now expands on his Planet X data.
|Andy Lloyd is the Planet X researcher in England who proposed that a brown dwarf might be orbiting the Sun. His Dark Star Theory went into print in August 1999, only months before the release of scientific papers outlining similar possibilities proposed by astronomers. DARK STAR: The Planet X Evidence
|Robertino Solarion has written numerous essays combining theories put forth by Immanuel Velikovsky and Zecharia Sitchin concerning Planet X, some of which can be found here: Planet X Nibiru SLOW-MOTION Doomsday
|Cody Jordan is a proponent of Zacharia Sitchin's Nibiru and has been an active researcher for over 20 years. His expertise is in the Mayan calendar and how it relates to Sitchin's timelines. Cody joins us now to discuss theories on Planet X and the Anunnaki.

It used to be that morning commute traffic, merging onto 680N at Sycamore, would get over at the first opportunity, (when the solid line changes to broken), via the one-for-them and one-for-us method.
Once in a while you used to get an impatient someone crossing the solid line to cut in early but most people minded their manners and things went pretty smoothly.
But recently I have noticed people continuing down the merge lane, as if they were going to get off at Diablo Road, passing the early mergers and getting over at the last moment. This gets them half a dozen cars ahead but pushed those half dozen cars back.
This may be legal but, if nothing else, it seems like bad manners.
Taken to its obvious conclusion this would have everyone leaving merging to the last moment and probably getting in the way of traffic trying to get off the freeway. I could do that but I'm reluctant. How about you?

<p>We'll let you decide which is more ridiculous: the pictorial or the accompanying essay. </p>
With the weather getting warmer, we thought what better time to review one of spring's sexiest rites of passage: the breaking out of miniskirts.
We feel the same way about them now as we did back in January of '88 when essayist Bruce Jay Friedman authored a treatise on what he called "the ultimate treat for men" to accompany the pictorial featured this week in Playboy Retro. The pictorial is over-the-top, obnoxious and 100 percent '80s, but it's the essay that's the real prize…
It is a kind of absurd PSA for men, advising all who may encounter the miniskirt of the renewed code of conduct we are expected to employ. It seems that at some point when the miniskirt was first introduced into our society we behaved badly, perhaps misconstruing a lady's intentions. Any specific incident is never mentioned by name, rather glossed over like a dark period in our history we'd prefer to forget, but the whole thing is quite funny. Truly high satire, though today, even as such, the essay itself would definitely not fly in any magazine. But in 1988…
Miniskirts. The ultimate treat for men. No need to devise clever strategies for peeking at panties and possibly throwing out your back. Miniskirts make that unnecessary. And women are trotting around in them, proving that they do like men after all and are interested in more than just their fair share of the market place.
A woman in a mini is not just saying, "Come over and hop right on." That's what caused all the trouble the last time around. Men would see those little skirts and say, "Goddam it, she's asking for it." And sometimes she was. But not always. Inside some of those miniskirts were the proud and curvy little bods of feminists upset that they couldn't wear a teeny skirt without sending out the wrong signal. So the mini was taken away for a few decades, forcing men to consider their behavior.
However, it's back now, though with the clear understanding that just because a woman has one on doesn't mean she wants to take it right off. She may want to keep it on for a while. She may have just bought the damned thing.
And even through she's wearing this little wisp of a garment and is just about exposing the entire package, it does not mean she is ready for action. She may be considering the proper stance for America in the Persian Gulf—and, at the same time, airing out her legs a little. Men didn't understand that on the first go-around, but they sort of do now.
Some of the new minis seem begrudging and tightly bound, forcing their owners into a ducklike waddle that only a small group of sophisticates will enjoy.
But most of them remain short, shorter and Where Did That Sucker Go? Who looks good in them? Surprisingly, not many. If you're talking pert-and-saucy Mary Hart, fine; but a flimsy on Diane Sawyer would undercut her serious approach to world affairs. A mini on Raisa Gorbachev comes off as a cheap glasnost ploy. And for God's sake, keep Margaret Thatcher in something sensible.
Minis look best on distant, anonymous women with coltlike legs, slipping through the night to sip import beers with investment bankers.
Also attractive in minis:
- Undercover decoy cops.
- Candidates' daughters.
- First novelists.
- Old broads who hung around with Papa in Paris and always knew that the legs were the last to go.
- Female characters in minimalist fiction. Joyous when they first come barreling out, these heartland honeys can be counted on to have an attack of K mart angst, vomit on their minis and wind up sitting in a pickup, waiting for the geese to fly over.
- Anyone's girlfriend except yours. You've seen Joanie's legs. You see them all the time. It's other folks' legs you want to see.

This document presents the meeting report for the Bilderberg meeting of 1963, that took place from May 29-31 in Cannes, France.
The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an "off the record" meeting of around 130 transatlantic political and military leaders, business and banking executives, royalty and other power elites. It has been meeting annually since 1954. Despite its influence on postwar history, which arguably eclipses that of the G8 conference, it does not not have a web site and nor does it publicly release records of its meetings.
This year's meeting is stated to be in Greece from 14 May 2009-16 May 2009.
For background on the group's activities, see this BBC radio 4 report and this Asia Times article.

text: I had one hive make it through the winter, and at the end of January, found that besides the marked queen that I had purchased in the previous fall, the hive had made another queen. I observed the hive for a couple of weeks, and found that the new queen was being well tolerated by the mother queen and the rest of the bees. I decided to make a nuc with the new queen and some frames from that hive, and they are doing well. Today I inspected the "old" hive, and found the same old marked queen, who appeared on a frame of lots of brood in a nice pattern, but on two separate frames, found two new queens! I had been told that an extra queen is not terribly unusual, but I'm wondering if this hive is unhappy with the old queen (even though she is laying), why they tolerate so many queens, and if I should expect one or more queens to leave at some point. Thanks for any insights on your experiences.

President Ricardo Romo (right) with Aguila Award presenters

UTSA president honored as Texas role model by Aguila Awards Foundation
(May 23, 2005)--The Aguila Awards Foundation (AAF), an Austin, Texas, organization established to honor role models in the Texas Hispanic community, recently announced its 2005 Aguila Award winners at its annual dinner and gala.
UTSA President Ricardo Romo received the 2005 Aguila Award for education. Awards also were presented in the categories of sports, music, community and business.

- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

"The Aguila Awards Foundation is proud to have such talented individuals represent the Texas Latino community," said AAF Executive Director Roxana Estrada. "We feel it is important that we honor these individuals for their contributions to Texas and it is essential these successful role models be recognized in their own communities."
A native of San Antonio's West Side, Romo became the fifth UTSA president in May 1999. Since assuming leadership, the university has become an institution of first choice for students seeking a college degree. With Romo and the university's faculty, staff and students, UTSA is one of the fastest growing institutions of higher education in the nation and is poised to become one of the state's premier research schools.
The winner of the sports award is Austin golf professional Omar Uresti, who began his career with a hole-in-one at age eight. His passion for golf earned him a seat on the University of Texas at Austin golf team. After college, Uresti has led an illustrious career in professional golf, garnering his first nationwide tour victory at the 1994 Nike Shreveport Open. Faring well in many tournaments across the United States, Uresti most recently participated in the 2004 PGA Tour, which included a top-10 finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
The Aguila Award for music went to the group, Vallejo. Raised in the small town of El Campo, Texas, the Vallejo brothers formed their band in 1990. Of Guatemalan and Mexican roots, the brothers were exposed to the Latin sounds of Tito Puente, Herb Alpert and Santana, among many others, and formed the alternative band with an eclectic sound of guitar riffs and Latin rhythms. The group recently created the VMG (Vallejo Music Group) recording label.
The community award was presented to Roy Lozano's Ballet Folklorico de Texas, an Austin nonprofit, dance service organization with a multi-ethnic professional company, a junior troupe for children ages 10-16 and a dance school for children five years and older.
This year's business award went to CommuniCard LLC, an Austin company founded and led by Sylvia Acevedo. A bilingual industrial engineer who grew up as a first-generation American in a Spanish-speaking home, Acevedo developed CommuniCards to reduce the Spanish-English language barrier. The laminated, passport-sized guides unfold with step-by-step illustrations of tasks and tools for construction, lawn care and housekeeping tasks -- requiring no translation, reference books or knowledge of pronunciation. Acevedo recently developed CommuniCards for police departments to use during traffic stops.
The Aguila Awards Foundation was established in 2003 to create awareness of positive examples and role models throughout the Texas Hispanic community. The foundation allows the public to cast votes online for their favorite candidates in several award categories.

Knowledge and education are critical, but "passion and perseverance" are also needed to eliminate health disparities, Assistant Health and Human Services Secretary Howard Koh, M.D., told a group gathered to pursue the goal of better health for all.
Dr. Koh's call for even greater commitment was issued to more than 4,500 people who attended the Summit on the Science of Eliminating Health Disparities at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention just outside of the nation's capital in December 2012. Since then, individuals and groups around the nation have returned to their jobs with new information gained from some of the more than 100 workshops that explored emerging sciences, policies and practices that can help eliminate health disparities that disproportionately affect minority groups.
Here at FDA, we are now in the midst of collaborating with the National Institutes of Health to publish recommendations and best practices that were highlighted at the summit and worthy of adoption on a broader scale. Articles published in peer reviewed journals also will be available at FDA's Office of Minority Health Web site later this year.
The summit was led by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities and co-sponsored by FDA's Office of Minority Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Leaders in government, academia, business, medicine, science and public policy joined with advocates and others in the community to learn, share and build new alliances.
The ultimate goal: to share creative and innovative solutions that can be adopted widely to improve health in theU.S.and around the world.
The work on health disparities arises from a critical need. For example, African American men are 2.4 times more likely to die from prostate cancer than non-Hispanic white men, 10 times more likely to die of AIDS, and 60% more likely to die of stroke. Native American women are almost twice as likely to die of diabetes than non-Hispanic white women. And while Asian and Pacific Islanders are less than 5 percent of the population, they account for more than 50% of Americans living with chronic Hepatitis B and associated liver cancer.
The numbers reflect a complex web of causes, including unequal access to health care, environmental issues, genetic differences and lifestyle, to name a few. These variables and more were addressed at the summit.
The breadth of the effort is exemplified by listing even a few of the more than 100 workshop and roundtable titles: "Approaches for Identifying and Addressing Environment Health Disparities," "Public Policies and Strategies to Address Obesity Prevention," and "Reducing Health Disparities through Innovation."
The summit brought together some of the nation's foremost experts. Speakers included former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan, M.D., NIH director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., Mary Woolley, head of Research!America, Kira Fortune, Ph.D. of the Pan American Health Organization, and David Fukuzawa of the Kresge Foundation.
The energy, commitment and knowledge gathered in one place left me inspired and convinced that together, we are on a path that will lead to improving health for all.

text: In the Developers Forum, there is a script written by George Vieira and modified by djtremors for ISPC that would update CLAMAV definitions automatically (when run regularly by a cron job) and even upgrade the clamav program if there is a new one. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7937 I wanted to update my clamav installation to the newest one today, so I tried the script. I had to make a few minor changes for my OS, but it worked fine and upgraded my clamav installation in ispconfig from 0.88.7 to 0.90. Here is the original script: Code: #!/bin/bash # Version 1.01 by George Vieira # place your ISPC admin email address here. ADMIN="[email protected] In order for this to work on my Fedora Core 4 server, I had to change the sendmail on lines 18 and 20 to "/usr/sbin/sendmail" and to change "webget" on line 56 to "wget". I also had to create a "clamav" user and "clamav" group. All you do from there is to save the file on your server (I named it "getfreshclam"), chmod it 0755, and run it while you are root. It checked my old version, checked for newest one, went and got the new install tar and installed it. THANKS GEORGE and DJTREMORS.... I no longer need to wait for an ispconfig update to freshen my clamav installation! NOTE that on my Fedora Core 3 server, I did not get the same value for $VERSION. I had to change "|cut -d ' ' -f 4" to "|cut -d ' ' -f 3" to get the version number. Even then, the line [ "$NEWUPDATE" ] && NEW="`findversion`" failed to reassign $NEW so the script fails on FC3. In other words, the script may not work on your OS... you may need to adjust a few things! Use it at your own risk! Cheers, RDB


text: Hello everyone this is my first post. I am looking for help on some break issues. I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 and I lifted it 6 inches and put larger tires on it about 6-8 months ago. Recently I had to replace my break pads, rotors, and drums. After having all those replaced I am still having what sounds like grinding or maybe skipping. I took it back to the place I had them replaced and they redid everything with new break pads, rotors, and drums again. Still though I am having the issue. So my question is: Could the lift and larger tires eventually messed up my ABS and that's what is causing it? If so, could reprogramming the tire size in my car computer fix this issue? If you have any ideas please please let me know I am desperate and do not want to act before spending more money. Thank you


text: So I am thinking that an average of 7 mediums per hive (two 8 frame mediums equal one deep) would be an adequate number of boxes for the main hives, plus some number of nuc boxes for splits and queen rearing, etc. The failures and dinks are what I am concerned about. Whats a dink? Is that a technical term?

Le Prisonnier de Bâle (1877-1934), Italy
The Prisoner of Basle (Joseph Giavarini) was born in a village near Parma, Italy. He lived at his godfather's house together with his mother, who worked in a spinning mill. The boy was then placed as a farmhand, then worked as a builder. Six years later, he went abroad, to France then to Germany, where he became a foreman and eventually general foreman. He married, established a family and, at the age of 30, settled in Basle, Switzerland.
Alone in his cell, he started to create groups of figurines, at first with breadcrumbs which he kneaded with his hands, and then with raw clay that his family brought when they visited him. Having shaped the statuettes, he painted them, before soaking them in strong glue to give a varnished look. The work represents acrobats with enormous elastic limbs, accompanied by a strange brass band.

Rendered in a restless, black ink line, a horse and its rider emerges as the central image of the drawing Untitled. The rider wears a helmet that is adorned with feathers, or perhaps tassels, whilst the horse strides from right to left across the picture plane, with stark white forelegs and solid hoofs. An arrow or compass element is placed top and centre as an omen, perhaps, warning the rider that he is moving closer to his demise: travelling towards pictorial disintegration. The abstract background is a tangle of undefined areas of blue and yellow applied in loosely brushed formations; spiky black ink splashes; and erratic red highlights. It is difficult to distinguish the horse and its rider from its heavily worked backdrop—the figurative subject matter is almost completely absorbed by the energetic activity of the background.
The image of a horse and rider was one that Pollock had taken up in several earlier drawings. In this case, however, the subject is specifically derived from Pablo Picasso's 1937 etching The dream and lie of Franco, a multi-panelled political narrative that depicts the Fascist General Franco riding a wild, eviscerated horse. Picasso's etching is illustrated in an elaborate expressionistic style, employing the full gamut of linear possibilities that are uniquely afforded by this printmaking technique. Pollock's shared fascination with the linear and his commitment to the progress of painterly techniques is explored on similar terms in this drawing.
From a retrospective viewpoint, we can read Pollock's use of spatter and drip-like application of ink as an allusion to what was to come in his future work. In this way, Untitled displays Pollock's transition toward a mature style, a style that was to be celebrated for its 'over-all' compositional structure and for the triumph of the abstract over the figurative.
