Jean Cantacuzène (1863-1934)
Romanian physician and bacteriologist, born on Nov. 25, 1863 in Bucharest (Romania). He was a member of the Cantacuzino family which they claimed to get their roots from a Byzantine emperor reigning in the 14th century. His father was an attorney general during the reign of Alexandre Cuza, his mother was General Mavros's daughter.
Spent his childhood in Bucharest. He early showed his tendency towards natural history and built up a collection of butterflies.
1872-1879 A Swiss tutor was entrusted with his education and taught him general knowledge, French and German ; two other teachers taught him Greek and Latin dead languages.
1879-1882 Traveled to Paris for completing his classical studies, at the Lycée Louis Legrand ; made friends with Bédier, Victor Bérard, Romain Rolland.
1882-1885 Attended the Faculty of Arts in Paris ; graduated with a degree in philosophy (license).
1885-1886 Back to Romania in order to do his national service.
1886 By returning to Paris, undertook studies in natural sciences and attended the lessons of Y. Delage and H. Lacaze-Duthier ; graduated with a degree in natural sciences (license), in 1891 ; at the end of the school year, went on summer vacation to the marine biological Station in Roscoff ; since then, was used to return there nearly each year.
1886-1892 Enrollment in medical training ; successful candidate in entrance exams for the Medical School of Paris, in 1887 ; as a non-resident student doctor, entered the La Charité hospital, under Luys, then worked at the Cochin hospital, under Théophile Anger and Dujardin-Beaumetz, successively.

1892-1900 Abandoned medical internship to devote himself to scientific research ; attended the microbiology course (cours de microbiologie) of the Institut Pasteur and entered Elie Metchnikoff 's laboratory.
1894 Thesis defense for medical doctorate, the dissertation topic of which was entitled : Recherches sur le mode de destruction du vibrion cholérique dans l'organisme ; contribution à l'étude du problème de l'immunité (Research on a mechanism for the Vibrio cholerae destruction in the body ; contribution to the study of immunity).
1894-1896 Back to Romania, began his academic career as a deputy professor in animal morphology, at the University of Iasi. As a medical practitioner, provided free medical assistance to patients with no money.
1896 Married Hélène Bals, with whom he had two sons, Jean and Alexandre.
1896-1901 Returned to Paris to serve on the Institut Pasteur's staff, where he continued research with E. Metchnikoff ; resumed his studies on the issue of immunity : his experiments in geese showed that phagocytosis caused the complete destruction of the spirillose parasite in vivo ; in an attempt to conciliate E. Metchnikoff's theory (cellular immunity) and J. Bordet 's one (humoral immunity), he showed that the "précipitine" (i.e. the antibody bound to its specific antigen, resulting in the production of an insoluble precipitate), first occurred in the mononuclear leukocytes of immunized organisms ; he concluded that the immune response was triggered up by the phenomenon of phagocytosis, even if the humoral response had an influence on it.
1902 Called back to Romania to occupy the new Chair of Experimental Pathology at the Faculty of Medicine in Bucharest ; appointed there as Professor during 32 years, until the end of his life.
1906 With P. Athanasiu, co-founded the first branch of the French Society of Biology ( Société de biologie ) abroad, which was named Bucharest Biological Meeting ; was a member of the Romanian delegation to the International Office of Public Health.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/7/2014 (1103 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The star of the show was missing from the skies above the Farnborough Air Show, Europe's biggest aerospace get-together, which began on July 14.
The F-35 fighter, which was to have made its first appearance outside America, has been grounded after an engine fire. Not taking to the air when expected is a trait of Lockheed Martin's jet, of course. It is years behind schedule and stratospherically over budget. Its absence was an embarrassment for Lockheed but, then again, its presence might have reminded the defence officials shopping for gear at Farnborough of the sort of complex, expensive program that they want to avoid signing up for in the future.
Arms-makers are going through a lean period. Some big contracts, such as ones to make bombers, trainer aircraft and drones, still are up for grabs in the United States, the world's biggest spender, but even the U.S. and other rich-world governments, struggling to curb their deficits, are trying ever harder to get the most bang for the fewest bucks. The revenues of 17 of the top 20 American weapons-makers shrank in 2013.
American-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq had helped to push global spending to a record US$1.7 trillion in 2008. Since then, according to Jane's, the widely respected military-consulting firm, it has plunged by US$100 billion.
The good news for arms-makers is that the worst probably is over. America's Congress has partly reversed automatic cuts it had imposed to deal with a ballooning deficit. In Europe the rate of decline is slowing. Growing wealth in emerging economies and new threats in Syria, Iraq and the South China Sea are encouraging rapid spending growth in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
In all, the market for military equipment — excluding China and Russia, which are largely closed to Western firms — is set to bottom out next year.
Although the Pentagon's budget is as big as that of the next 15 defence ministries combined, its coffers no longer are bottomless. It wants more "make do and mend," upgrading existing equipment. The model here is Boeing's venerable B-52 bomber, which has been constantly refitted and will fly on past its 90th birthday in 2042.
The Pentagon has moved away from conventional "cost-plus" contracts, which give contractors an incentive to overspend, since they are guaranteed a margin on top of whatever their costs turn out to be. In the department's annual assessment of its own competence as a buyer, published last month, it noted that the alternative, fixed-price contracts, has not always proved better. Indeed, contractors sometimes end up with profit margins "spectacularly" higher than in cost-plus deals.
Therefore the Pentagon is seeking to create more sophisticated contracts that encourage arms-makers to find cost savings that will be shared with the taxpayer.
America is taking an interest in moves across the Atlantic, especially in Britain, to get companies to assume the ownership and upkeep of weapons systems. A 2009 deal Britain struck with B.A.E. Systems provides "strike power by the hour" for the Royal Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoon jets. The R.A.F.'s commitment to low-cost flying was reinforced with the announcement, at Farnborough, that maintenance contracts for transporters would go to Flybe, a budget airline. Britain even contemplated outsourcing its entire military procurement recently, only to get cold feet about such a radical move.
An earlier squeeze in military spending, in the 1990s, prompted a spate of mergers, as weapons-makers cut costs by joining forces. This time the Pentagon has made it clear that it will not accept further consolidation that damages competition. In Europe political opposition hinders efforts at consolidation: Airbus' 2012 attempt to merge with B.A.E. Systems failed for this reason.
With mergers out of the question, the big military contractors had to move quickly to prepare for the most recent round of spending cuts, slashing costs and laying off battalions of workers. Now they are looking at what else they can do to prepare for an age in which budgets have stopped falling, but defense ministries are more demanding buyers.
One answer is to find new, civilian markets for their products. Some big suppliers to the armed forces — such as Boeing and U.T.C., which owns Pratt & Whitney, a maker of airplane engines — already have even bigger civilian sides. However, the more defense-heavy firms' past attempts at diversification into nonmilitary work were "unblemished by success," in the words of former Lockheed boss Norm Augustine.
Still, many of the things they make have civilian uses. Secure communications systems could help to protect banks and other businesses from hackers. Raytheon recently sold its Boomerang sniper-detection system to American power firms after a gunman knocked out several transformers providing electricity to Silicon Valley.
As yet, though, such contracts remain a small part of most arms companies' businesses. Civilian cyber-security and related activities provide only around 2 per cent of Lockheed's revenues, for example. Although weapons-makers are "essentially tech firms," as Rami Myerson of the bank Investec puts it, they may struggle to compete with nimbler Silicon Valley outfits.
Indeed, such companies are beginning to invade the defence industry's territory.
"Warfare is going digital," observes Tom Captain of Deloitte, a consulting firm.
Tech firms have shown that they can supply robots, drones and intelligence software. Spacex, founded by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, is taking the U.S. Air Force to court in an effort to reopen bidding for a satellite-launch contract awarded to Boeing and Lockheed.
If it is hard for military suppliers to make it on Civvy Street, it is not much easier for them to hawk their gear to new export customers.
Plenty of countries, from the Middle East to East Asia, are spending more on arming themselves with jets, missiles and tanks. China's increasingly assertive territorial claims are prompting its neighbours to bolster their defences. The market is highly fragmented, however. Brazil, among the bigger spenders, has a defence budget only 4 per cent the size of America's. Not only is it costly to sell to lots of smallish customers, but often they insist on some manufacturing being done locally or demand access to sensitive technology that the arms suppliers' home governments would not allow. India, the biggest prize, is a fearfully tough customer, imposing all manner of conditions in return for arms contracts.
The competition to sell to foreign powers is fiercer than at home. Asian and Latin American countries may prefer Russian or Chinese equipment that is not quite as good as Western gear, but far cheaper. More and more countries with weapons industries of their own are encouraging their firms to seek new export markets such as Japan and South Korea.
Those arms-makers which are part of big civilian aerospace conglomerates can spread their research and development overheads across a broader base. They also have a better chance of cross-selling to the defence ministries of countries whose state airlines already are their customers. Airbus' recent restructuring was in part aimed at achieving this. Civil aerospace is booming, giving such firms strong financial firepower. Potential buyers of their military gear will feel reassured that these companies will still be around in a decade or two, when it needs updating.
Companies that mostly make military products may find that life is harder. The turn in the spending cycle may encourage them to dream that vast, money-spinning programs like the F-35 will return, and that the good times will roll again.
However, the evidence suggests that an often-unreliable, inefficient and over-rewarded industry is at last being forced to change its ways to survive.

Frank Ratliff, 85, a former Palo Alto high-school teacher, died March 29, 2011, after a short illness.
He was born in Natchez, Miss., Jan. 24, 1926. After graduating from Natchez High School in 1943, he served in the U.S. Army from 1944-1946 and again from 1949-1952. Between deployments, he attended Mississippi State, then Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State), where he earned his bachelor's degree in journalism. He received a master's degree in history from U.C. Berkeley.
After two years at Truckee High School he taught at Cubberley High School from 1957 to 1962, then served as an advanced-programs consultant to the Palo Alto Unified School District 1962-64, and was instrumental in designing the progressive humanities curriculum for the English and Social Studies programs at Gunn High School. He taught at Gunn from the school's opening in 1964 until his retirement in 1988, serving in his last two years at Gunn as a mentor to other teachers as well.
During his nearly 30 years of teaching, he received numerous awards, grants, fellowships and other recognition. He was an active contributor to numerous professional associations, holding various leadership positions in local, state and national teachers' organizations.
His areas of special interest were composition; American and British literature; Greek mythology, drama, and literature; and film studies. He was much-beloved by his students, not the least for his dry wit, friends recalled. He would sign yearbooks with a rubber stamp. The message changed several times over the years, but the one most remembered by former students read "To my Favorite Student, Sincerely, Frank Ratliff." He spent many of his summers enriching his professional knowledge and experience, including two summers as principal at the AIFS Royal Academy of Music in London.
He had a life-long interest in theater and film, and was an enthusiastic supporter of dramatic productions at Gunn. He also wrote screenplays. He was a member of the American Film Institute, past president of the California Arts Society, and a longtime subscriber to the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and the San Francisco Early Music Society.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 7, at 11 a.m. at Unity Church, 3391 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.
Memorial donations may be made to the Frank E. Ratliff Fellowship Fund for doctoral students in classics at U.C. Berkeley, c/o Gift Administration, 2080 Addison St., #4200, Berkeley, CA 94720.

Tattooing has existed as a form of human expression for centuries, often used to commemorate religious ceremonies or to signify military experience.1 People use tattoos to express individual style or personality, convey a message, demonstrate membership in a particular group, or for a variety of other reasons. Tattooing is now omnipresent in U.S. society: 21% of adults have at least one tattoo.2 Given this high incidence, healthcare providers need to become more familiar with the process and associated risks of tattooing in order to properly counsel and educate patients.
Evaluating a patient's potential health risks with regard to tattoos requires the provider to stratify tattoos into two distinct groups: professional and nonprofessional tattoos. Professional tattoos placed by properly trained and licensed tattoo artists in an authorized, sanctioned tattoo parlor present significantly less risk than nonprofessional tattoos. Nonprofessional tattoos are affixed in various physical locations by virtually any person willing to perform the procedure. They may involve using many kinds of ink and sharp objects to place the ink under the skin. A quick search on eBay can bring up 9,000 listings for tattoo kits (machines and guns) for the amateur artist.3 Nonprofessional tattoos increase local and systemic complication and infection rates in tattoo recipients.
Scholarly articles on tattooing typically do not delineate between professional and nonprofessional tattoos. To be considered professionally done, tattoos must be applied in a tattooing establishment that has been licensed by state regulators and periodically inspected by the state or local health department.4 Tattoo artist training typically incorporates education in areas of anatomy and physiology, but its overall emphasis is on infection control and compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.4 Training and certification of tattoo artists includes instruction on sterile techniques and blood and body secretion precautions.4
Tattoo studios are licensed and regulated by states, and most states have similar rules about cleanliness and adherence to OSHA guidelines.2 No federal laws govern tattoo salons, and each state, city and/or municipality can establish its own rules for licensure of tattoo artists, equipment and physical facilities.
In contrast, nonprofessional tattoos are not obtained at a licensed tattoo parlor staffed by a properly trained technician. Nonprofessional tattoos are often called "backyarders" or "scratchers," and they are frequently performed under nonsterile conditions with unclean needles.1 Many people receive tattoos while in prison. Prison tattoos are performed under unsanitary conditions with nonsterile inks. The prison population has a higher incidence of bloodborne illnesses than the unincarcerated population.1
Local, Systemic and Imaging Risks
The risk of localized infection or reaction from a tattoo is essentially the same as that associated with a breach of the skin using a needle or sharp object. The skin is pierced repeatedly during tattooing, resulting in numerous openings in the skin's defensive barrier and thus increasing the risk for developing infection-related complications. Sterile technique reduces the risk of infection, but it is not entirely obviated.5
Staphylococcus is commonly associated with tattoo-related infections; methicillin-resistant strains are an emerging are of concern.6,7 Other potential skin infections related to tattoos may be caused by fungal or viral pathogens. Proper skin care after the procedure helps reduce the risk of infection.6 Other risks with professional tattoos include localized skin infections stemming from contaminated ink, however, this much less common than the risks associated with nonprofessional tattoos.2
Ink used for professionally placed tattoos is approved by the FDA for use only as a cosmetic and color additive and not for subdermal placement.8 Acute inflammatory reactions are a typical consequence during tattooing. Inflammation results from the physical damage to the skin as well as the injection of a foreign material into the skin.5 Patients with localized lymphadenopathy and a normal white blood cell count, but no fever or chills, have a local inflammatory reaction rather than a skin infection.7
Allergy to tattoo ink can develop once it is placed in the epidermis. Localized allergic reactions can change the color and shape of the tattoo via scarring and dispersion of the dyes used, while systemic allergic reactions can include more serious hypersensitivity symptoms such as urticaria, shortness of breath and angioedema. Tattoo ink contains natural and synthetic compounds and other metallic substances known to induce local and possibly systemic hypersensitivity reactions (Table 1).6
Proper care of the skin after tattooing is crucial to reduce the risks associated with this procedure. Professional tattoo artists usually provide detailed aftercare instructions via verbal or printed form, similar to that provided for typical wound care. Patients should avoid ultraviolet (UV) exposure on tattooed area for at least 3 months after application, since sun exposure may cause the ink to appear altered (primarily faded).9 In addition, yellow and red dyes in particular have the potential to cause photosensitivity reactions in new tattoos exposed to sunlight. This is because cadmium sulfide is a light-sensitive material used in photoelectric cells; the reaction is believed to be phototoxic.5 Sunburns injure the epidermis and lower natural skin immunity, which may potentially render patients more susceptible to an infection in the tattooed area.
The tattooed area should be washed daily with a mild soap and water. Soaking in baths, hot tubs and pools should be avoided for at least 2 weeks to decrease the risk of exposure of the injured skin to bacteria in these reservoirs.9 Dressings, particularly occlusive ones, are not recommended due to increased risk of infection.9 An ecchymotic lesion develops over the healing tattoo.
The patient should be instructed not to pick or scratch the area despite any itching or burning sensation. Doing so may result in spreading out the pigment, introducing infection or causing scarring.9 Tattoo artists may suggest application of a petrolatum-based ointment during the healing process; neomycin-bacitracin-polymyxin is contraindicated due to risk of contact dermatitis.9
Tattooing is similar to a minor surgical procedure, so patients with medical problems that inhibit or delay healing ability should carefully consider the risks. Patients with immunosuppression or other chronic illnesses (diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, bleeding disorders and HIV) may experience delayed wound healing and increased susceptibility to infection.6 Patients with bleeding or clotting disorders should avoid tattooing because the inability to clot properly could potentially cause changes in the appearance of the tattoo or excessive amounts of blood loss.10
Some absorption of tattoo dyes can occur within the vascular or lymphatic systems because ink is injected into the dermal layer of the skin. Nonsterile procedures and contaminated ink or instruments can introduce microorganisms and contaminants into the body. Professional tattoo parlors minimize this risk by using single-use sterile pigment containers and needles, frequent hand washing or autoclaving equipment. The most concerning systemic infections associated with tattooing are HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C transmitted via contaminated needles. The risk of acquiring these infections is greatest with amateur tattooists.7
HIV transmission has not been documented thus far in a professional tattoo studio, but HIV transmission has occurred via nonprofessional tattoo applications.7 In documented cases, inmates have infected other prisoners with infections such as tuberculosis and syphilis when they licked the tattoo needle to keep it moist during the application of the pigment.6 Diseases such as psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, lichen planus and sarcoidosis may occur in tattooed areas.6 The cause for these cutaneous manifestations is unknown, but they may be induced by specific ink (mainly red) color. Finally, there is the potential for metastatic change in tattooed skin. Cases of melanoma, keratoacanthoma and other skin cancers have been documented.11
The metallic dyes used in many tattoos react with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment and may cause warming or burning in the skin where the tattoo is located. In a few cases, patients have experienced second-degree burns over tattoos during MRI.12
Scarring may alter how structures beneath the tattoo are visualized with radiographic modalities. MRI machines may be unable to visualize tissue underneath a metallic-containing tattoo as well as normal, intact skin. This is particularly common in areas such as the face, where permanent makeup tattoo can distort the precise, small images gathered during head and face imaging. This could lead to an abnormality being missed.12 In addition, tattoos on breast tissue have led to difficulty interpreting mammogram results. Biopsy results have revealed abnormalities resulting from migration of pigments placed in a tattoo located close to the breast.13 There is also concern about the potential for malignant change related to pigmentation of the skin in proximity to the breasts.2 Other test modalities, such as computerized tomography studies or plain film x-rays, may be misinterpreted due to artifact related to metals in the tattoo.14
To provide the best possible care to patients, healthcare providers must be aware of problems associated with tattoos. NPs and PAs should be ready to counsel patients about how and where to safely get a tattoo. Patient education about licensure and regulation of tattoo facilities, tattoo care and how to manage potential complications is necessary.
If a patient already has a tattoo, providers should work to determine if it was professionally applied. Simply asking the patient where the tattoo was obtained is the best way to determine if it was professionally placed. Some patients may be confused about what constitutes a professional tattoo artist or shop. Ask how the patient selected the tattoo provider, the level of cleanliness of the facility, and whether state-issued licenses were displayed in the shop. Some patients admit to self-tattooing, allowing a friend to apply their skin pigments, or visiting an unlicensed artist practicing illegally for a lower cost.
Providers can obtain objective information about a tattoo by studying its characteristics. A tattoo with more basic design or letters without a specific font type is more likely to have been applied by an amateur. The placement of the tattoo could give another clue to its origins, since professional tattoo artists are prohibited from placing a tattoo within 1 inch of the eye.15
Nonprofessional tattoos usually use dark green or black ink (Figure 1) that is easily obtained. Generally, licensed tattoo artists use multiple colored inks and more complex designs in their work (Figure 2). Licensed tattoo artists have more training and apprenticeship; their workmanship showcases their talent and serves as an advertisement.
If a patient has obtained a tattoo in any location other than a licensed tattoo parlor, even if it was placed with a traditional tattoo gun, he or she should be evaluated for local complications such as infections and scarring, and screened for possible exposure to HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Careful examination of the wound area and lymph nodes should be performed, and appropriate wound care techniques should be discussed and initiated. If an oral antibiotic is indicated, select one that covers normal skin flora including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. A tetanus toxoid booster should be administered if the patient's vaccination status is not current or cannot be determined.

Lovely Professional University bade adieu to VIRSA
Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar as overall winner of AIU's 27th Inter University Zonal Youth Festival. Host Lovely Professional University lifted the Runners-Up (second position) trophy for the competitions.
Before awarding the coveted trophy to the Over-all Winner Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, the Chief Guest Dr ADN Bajpai highly appreciated LPU for organizing endeavours put together. Briefing the youth assemblage about the history of youth festivals, he encouraged all the participants to be always young in thoughts and actions: "Youth is not with age; Youth is active state of mind, which thinks of future and better future only. India is always youthful with more and more youth Power and it is indeed going to lead the World through persons like you all." He also guided all winners as well others, by quoting from Hindi and Urdu poets: "To be in the field is more important than to be only a field-winner. Participation gives each and everyone a chance to self-analysis. One should discuss his/her shortcomings with mentors and friends to succeed next time, if not now."
Being impressed by the arrangements, he liked to prefer LPU as host for other major academic as well as cultural activities in future and promised that to further host the next national level cultural fest, Vice –Chancellors Meet, Meet of Economists as well as the Indian Science Conference through AIU in the LPU campus. On the other hand, Mr. Sampson David announced LPU as a world class University. Speaking on the occasion, the Chancellor of LPU, Mr Ashok Mittal said: "We are happy to see that VIRSA proved a great platform for the whole of the University.

Unprecedented Exhibition of Works by Celebrated Contemporary Artist Elizabeth Murray
"Her Story": Prints by Elizabeth Murray, 1986–2006
January 22–March 30, 2014
Stanford, Calif. — Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center presents a unique exhibition of works by Elizabeth Murray (1940–2007), considered one of the nation's most important postmodernist abstract artists. "Her Story": Prints by Elizabeth Murray, 1986–2006 includes all 42 of the groundbreaking editions made at New York's Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) from 1986, when she first created prints there, through the last two decades of her prolific career. Primarily drawn from a private collection, this comprehensive selection of prints has never before been shown as a group. The exhibition runs January 22 through March 30.
Murray belonged to a generation of artists who emerged in the 1970s exposed to Minimalism and Pop art of the time—as well as earlier models such as Cubism, Surrealism and Expressionism—and who experimented with new modes of expression. In this inventive artistic environment, Murray gained distinction by using boldly inventive forms and vivid objects and occurrences from everyday life. As Critic Roberta Smith wrote in the artist's New York Times obituary, Murray "reshaped Modernist abstraction into a high-spirited, cartoon-based, language of form whose subjects included domestic life, relationships and the nature of painting itself."
Murray's approach to printmaking, like her painting, was iconoclastic, breaking with the idea that a painting or print is a two-dimensional object representing a single point of view. Murray's prints reflect her penchant for eccentrically shaped works and multi-part compositions, with some constructed of multiple sheets of paper that she printed, tore and reassembled into three-dimensional art. Her compositions are dynamic, daring, witty and emotional, drawing inspiration from diverse sources ranging from masters Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to comics, children's books and Walt Disney cartoons.
Although Murray won a MacArthur "genius grant" and received a retrospective spanning her 40-year career at the Museum of Modern Art in New York—honors bestowed on only a handful of women artists—West Coast audiences remain largely unfamiliar with her work.
"We are proud to bring the important work of Elizabeth Murray to the Bay Area," said Connie Wolf, the Cantor's John & Jill Freidenrich Director. "Murray spent formative years in this area, earning her MFA at Mills College in Oakland, and now our visitors will have the opportunity to see this extraordinary collection of work. First you experience the art's illusion of motion, eccentric dimensionality and semi-abstract forms. When you get closer, you see ominous details—broken dishes, jagged edges, disheveled rooms—there's always an edge to her work, a compelling complexity."
The exhibition also includes a selection of three large-scale paintings by Murray that illuminate the relationship between her painting and printmaking.
Anne Waldman's "Her Story" Collaboration with Murray
Prints on view include Murray's collaborative project with renowned experimental poet Anne Waldman, which combined images by Murray and text by Waldman. The title of the series that resulted, "Her Story," lends itself to the exhibition at the Cantor. Waldman, the author of more than 40 books, has been connected to the Beat movement and the second generation of the New York School. In 1974, with Allen Ginsberg, she founded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado, where she continues to teach. She performs internationally and collaborates extensively with visual artists, musicians and dancers. Learn more about Waldman.
Reading by Anne Waldman on February 20 has been CANCELED. This event has been canceled by the speaker due to health reasons.
Elizabeth Murray
Born in Chicago in 1940, Elizabeth Murray spent much of her childhood drawing. In 1958 she entered the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to become a commercial artist, but work by Paul Cézanne inspired her to pursue painting instead. After earning a BFA from the Institute in 1962 and an MFA from Mills College, Oakland in 1964, she moved to New York, where she developed her mature style. She received numerous awards for her work, including the Skowhegan Medal in Painting in 1986 and a MacArthur Foundation "genius" award in 1999. She was also honored by MoMA in 2005 with a retrospective exhibition, a distinction previously given only to three women: Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler. Her works are in many major public collections, including those of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Carnegie Museum of Art. Soon after Murray's death in 2007, the Bowery Poetry Club held a Praise Day in her honor; later in the year a private memorial was held for her at MoMA.
Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE)
Tatyana Grosman founded Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), a workshop for making fine art prints and books on Long Island, in 1957. Passionate about lithography, she encouraged young artists from New York, including Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, to try their hand at this unfamiliar and reputedly old-fashioned medium. These collaborative experiences with master printers at ULAE led many artists to become prolific printmakers and to make the medium integral to their overall practice. By the mid-1960s, artist-printer collaborations at ULAE and at other such print workshops in the United States gave rise to an explosion of contemporary printed art. By the 1980s, a new generation of artists had begun to work at ULAE, already aware of the aesthetic possibilities offered by printmaking and eager to experiment with its myriad techniques.

Exhibition Organization
Hilarie Faberman, the Cantor's Robert M. and Ruth L. Halperin curator of modern and contemporary art, organized this exhibition from private collections in California and from ULAE. Prints are on loan from the Fearer/Randel Collection and ULAE; paintings are on loan from the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection and the Collection of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson. The Cantor Arts Center gratefully acknowledges the exhibition's lenders—the Fearer/Randel Collection, Universal Limited Art Editions, the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection, and the Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson Collection—and support from the Clumeck Fund and Cantor Arts Center Members.

From Queen Archives: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, Interviews, Articles, Reviews
Reviews > Queen Music Reviews > XX-XX-1975 - A Night at the Opera - Melody Maker
Queen was well-known at the time of this album's debut for hard rock. The band's third release, Sheer Heart Attack, had proved that they could push the limits of the genre and gain international success. But I doubt that many believed that Queen could blow those limits away so completely as they do in A Night At The Opera. The music ranges from pop ("You're My Best Friend") to heavy metal ("Death On Two Legs," etc.) to ballad to sprightly singalong to multi-layered instrumental ("God Save The Queen," would you believe), and the lyrics go everywhere from fantasy ("Prophet Song") and sci-fi ("'39" is one of only two songs I can think of that deals with the effects of time dilation during near-light-speed travel) to heartbreak. There are campy seaside songs ("Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon," "Seaside Rendezvous," "Good Company") placed schizophrenically (sometimes without a pause) up against earnest hard rock numbers - and then there are tracks that combine many of these elements, like "Bohemian Rhapsody," all tied together with a multi-layering of guitars and vocals that is almost unique in the genre. The only two players I can think of who come close in the multi-layer guitar stakes are Ollie Halsall and Martin Briley, and neither of the best examples of their work in this area were ever released.
A Night at the Opera works, I suspect, because nobody in the band takes anything too seriously. Some of the numbers are certainly tongue-in-cheek, but even in the more "significant" cuts, there is a lightness without which this album would have been very heavy going. The 5.1 mix successfully picks up that lack of seriousness, but perhaps takes it a little too far.
24-track, two-inch recorders were fairly common in British studios by 1975, and this album was recorded in major facilities all over the country. Those tracks are needed, too. The multi-layered guitar arrangements which characterize this album, along with similarly-layered vocals, would have been extremely difficult to achieve only a couple of years earlier without serious loss of balance control and increased noise levels due to 16-track track-bouncing.
The masters ended up in the tape store at Abbey Road, where they were recovered last year and transferred to 24-bit, 96 kHz sampling digital audio on Steinberg's powerful new Nuendo digital audio workstation, the up-and-coming choice for engineers and producers working at high sample rates, endorsed by heavyweights like Alan Parsons. The results so impressed Abbey Road's engineers that other Queen material is likely to be transferred the same way.
The discs were then brought over to California and mixed by Elliot Scheiner at the Dog House in West Los Angeles and Capitol Records in Hollywood. Roy Thomas Baker, who produced the original mix with the band, also produced the 5.1 remix and was involved in the whole process. This pairing of the virtuoso surround remix engineer and the original producer no doubt accounts for the impressive, if idiosyncratic, translation of this classic album into surround. It's easy to hear why Nuendo is becoming so popular in modern studios when you listen to this surround mix. 24-track in the early days gave you more tracks, but at the expense of higher noise and loss of audio quality. Those factors are completely overcome here: quiet passages are extremely clean and noise-free and the top end is pristine, while the bass is powerful and present. There are a couple of inevitable weirdnesses, like piano pedal thumps in one case that one would have thought could be EQ'd out, the odd edit that was evidently on the multi-tracks and shows its true nature rather more clearly in digital surround than it did in analog stereo, and occasional accidental over-use of noise removal algorithms resulting in lower noise at the expense of some detail. (This last may be imaginary, by the way: noise could well have added an apparent smoothness that really wasn't there.) Overall, however, it's an excellent-sounding remix of a classic album.
There are wonderful opportunities in the material here to be exploited in surround, and not one is missed. Vocal and guitar parts appear from all around the surround soundstage. Solos pan from one speaker to another. Effects pop out of nowhere. It's a pyrotechnic display that would be well over the top on other material, but here is almost entirely appropriate.
It must be said, though, that some of the smoothness and coherence of the original stereo mix (which is also presented on this disc at 24/96) is lost, from time to time, in an apparent desire to make the surround mix as impressive as possible. The surrounds are also distractingly loud in places.
I have seen one early review that thoroughly panned the surround mixing on this album as both lacking audio quality and taking too many liberties with the material, in terms of gratuitous panning, etc. I would not go so far. While I would acknowledge that this mix is over the top in some ways, the album as a whole is not what you could call conceptually understated - it too is over the top - and I really don't mind. We already have the original stereo mix, after all. I would certainly not criticize the overall sound quality a great deal: it's almost as if the earlier reviewer was listening to a different disc - which could well be the case, as this album was originally scheduled for release last year and was then held back for several months, perhaps due to some unknown technical problems.
The disc itself is playable on both DVD-Audio and regular DVD-Video machines. The MLP track on the DVD-A area is the best, of course, but DVD-V owners can enjoy the latest DTS encoding technology that theoretically offers 24/96 capability at a level of quality that is superior to "standard" DTS and is also backwards compatible if you don't have the latest decoder. I don't have the latest decoder, so I can't tell you how much of an improvement the new DTS offers. There is also the original stereo mix presented in a new 24/96 transfer from analog, where it does rather show its age in terms of noise level, due to an additional analog tape master stage, while still sounding overall better than the previous CD versions. Additionally, there are full lyrics (nicely laid out to be readable even on small screens), credits, a photo gallery of contemporary band photos and a clean, well-designed menu structure. There's also a comprehensive booklet. The people behind the actual physical production of a DVD don't often get mentioned in reviews, but I would like here to congratulate Jeff Levison at DTS for an exceptional job of putting all this together.
This important release brings this classic album right up to date, and although one song doesn't quite hold its own, lyrically, into the 21st Century (the eight-minute prog-rock "Prophet Song," I'm afraid, though it is musically more significant than the other tracks that are far more clearly recalled), almost everything else is timeless and even more enjoyable in its new 5.1 incarnation than when it first came out.
Despite the fact that some may feel the production team were having a little too much fun in the control room while they were mixing this record, I would label Queen's A Night at the Opera a "must-have." Turn it up loud and enjoy.

MADISON, Wis. — The hypocrisy of the left-wing One Wisconsin Now truly knows no bounds.
The pack of vitriol-spewing socialists led by Scot Ross this week took aim at U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson for asserting that the next president — not President Barack Obama — should nominate a replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The conservative justice was found dead Saturday at a Texas ranch.
One Wisconsin Now issued a statement Monday decrying Johnson's position, saying Obama remains the president and has the constitutional authority and duty to send a nominee to the Senate — just as President Ronald Reagan did when he nominated Scalia.
But the group failed to mention its strident opposition just months ago to Gov. Scott Walker's constitutional authority and duty to appoint a replacement for the late state Supreme Court Justice N. Patrick Crooks.
"Putting political advantage and cronyism before qualifications, Gov. Scott Walker announced today he has appointed Rebecca Bradley to the open seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court," One Wisconsin Now declared in a statement issued Oct. 9.
Bradley, considered part of the court's conservative wing, was an announced candidate for Crooks' seat before being appointed by the Republican governor.
Liberals in general, and legislative Democrats in particular, were absolutely apoplectic about Walker's appointment just months out from the Supreme Court election, slated for April. No fair, they cried. Bradley's appointment, they protested, gives the justice an incumbent's advantage that will be difficult for left-wing appeals court judge JoAnne Kloppenburg and left-wing circuit court Judge Joe Donald to overcome.
But Walker has the authority and obligation under the state constitution to fill vacancies on the state courts as he sees fit. He said he selected the candidate he believes fills the requirements of the court.
"I want someone who understands the law and most importantly I want someone on the judiciary who upholds the constitution of this country and the state," Walker said in a statement.
Bradley is highly qualified for the position, the first Wisconsin Supreme Court justice to have served as an intermediate appellate court judge and a circuit court judge.
Walker's predecessor, Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat, appointed the ultra-liberal Louis Butler to the court in August 2004. Butler had unsuccessfully campaigned in 2000 for the seat held by then-incumbent Supreme Court Justice Diane Sykes, whom GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested would be a good replacement for Scalia.
Obama, too, will nominate the person who aligns more with his reading of the constitution — also known as a liberal. Exhibit A: Sonia Sotomayor. Exhibit B: Elena Kagan.
But Ross, One Wisconsin Now's mouth, sees only faulty logic in Republican Johnson's call to let the American people "decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate."
Ross, it seems, is champing at the bit to see a left-wing judicial activist named to the Supreme Court. He seemed to relish Scalia's passing in a tweet over the weekend.
"If you take a lifetime appointment and do horrible things, you can't fault people who are pleased that the term of office has expired," Ross tweeted.

My Notes:
You know how at a great party, guests often gravitate to the kitchen? Well, be prepared to entertain often in the Clark. The generously sized kitchen, breakfast area, and great room connect in an appealing open design. Once your guests experience this great space they may never want to leave and it's not just the kitchen that will have them mesmerized. The style and versatility of the upper level are second to none in the Clark. Whether you would like two gorgeous master suites, 2 large bedrooms with a loft or 3 bedrooms, the decision is yours. And don't forget the bonus lower level.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
It's hard to find the little white castle with the round tower and black witch's-hat roof unless you're looking for it. It's hidden under some trees on Memorial Drive near Beltway 8; nevertheless, discerning diners from all over the country are turning up here. That's because Indika has already earned a reputation as one of the most innovative Indian restaurants in the United States. Outstanding entrées include duck tandoori in a toasted almond curry served with haricots verts and fluffy white basmati rice, and half a roasted eggplant filled with paneer and cashews. But first try the crab samosas with papaya-ginger chutney, and don't forget to save room for the best nan bread you have ever eaten, served with a spicy side dish of yellow lentils flavored with garlic, ginger and cumin.
They fry your chicken to order at Henderson's Chicken Shack. It takes about 20 minutes. Henderson's isn't a franchise or a chain. It's owned by a Creole woman named Ann Henderson, who was born in New Iberia, Louisiana. Cooking the chicken to order seems like a nuisance when you're waiting, but once you bite into the hot chicken, you know it's worth it. There's a wonderful thick, spicy crust, and the chicken pieces come on two slices of white bread, which soak up the juice. Most people get their order to go (there isn't much in the way of tables) and let the chicken cool off in the car, so it's the perfect temperature when you get your yardbird home. But be forewarned, you'll probably end up eating all the red-peppery fries on the drive.
Cajun Corner sells boiled Cajun-style crawfish all year round in its Vietnamese neighborhood. Gulf Coast Vietnamese-Americans are wild about Cajun-style boiled crawfish -- the spicier the better. There's a condiment bar where patrons stir up insanely hot dipping sauces made out of pure cayenne powder with a dash of ketchup and mayo or a little squeeze of lemon. Cajun Corner also sells gumbo, étouffée, chicken wings, alligator platters and a full menu of Cajun specialties. But the only other dish besides boiled crawfish that really stands out is the crawfish fried rice.
They're large, always warm and have just the right balance of firmness, chewiness and doughiness. The bagels at Manhattan Bagels run golden-brown rings around the others. More than 20 different varieties are always available, including all of the standards, plus rye, whole wheat, egg, jalapeo, spinach, cinnamon and raisin, cranberry and chocolate chip. Also available are cream cheese spreads in a dozen different flavors. At $5.95 for a baker's dozen, they're a terrific bargain. The breakfast and lunch sandwiches are also good values. With their frequent shopper cards, you can earn a dozen free bagels after your 12th purchase. Now, if just we could get them to open one inside the Loop.
Mama Tran makes the dumplings at this quirky little family-run Vietnamese restaurant in the Old Chinatown neighborhood near the intersection of Highways 45 and 59. The dumplings are awesome, and the noodles are pretty good, too. Owner Jenni Tran-Weaver (Mama Tran's daughter) makes the homemade Vietnamese desserts. But that's not all that makes this place special. According to the menu, you get a lap dance from Jenni's husband, Scott, added to your bowl of noodles for $50 extra. (Shrimp is a cheaper add-on, at only $4.) Members of various local arts groups come here to eat such signature dishes as Infernal Chicken Curry and Art Car Curry. The employees wear T-shirts printed with such slogans as "Madonna Eats Here" and "My Noodle Is Bigger than Your Noodle." If you're having trouble finding this strip mall location just off Jefferson, look for Jenni's plastic pink flamingos that she strews all over the grass strip in front of the place every morning.
Plum sauce is mundane in these surroundings. If the toddy palm drink, fresh seaweed, spicy sliced pork ear and stomach, or fish balls aren't exotic enough for you, try the mochi chocolate pai, karela, tidora or moo, none of which comes with a translation. Then there's the fruit-flavored beef jerky and the sweet soursop, both of which sound like oxymorons. Live geoducks (giant clams) lie lazily in one of the many fish tanks, awaiting their fate as live sushi. Kids, this is not the kind of stuff you'll find at Kroger. The wildest ingredients, though, also may be the most expensive. Take a gander at the dried deer leg at $25 per pound, or the shark fin at a toothy $250 a pound (both are used to make soup). Sorry, you can't just have a pound or two; you've got to take the whole fin, which weighs from ten to 13 pounds. That's not just exotic, it's plum wild.

Cal U names interim president
State education officials named an interim president to California University of Pennsylvania and ratified contracts for faculty and coaches at all 14 state universities in a special meeting on Wednesday.
Geraldine Jones, the acting president at California University of Pennsylvania, was officially named interim president by the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education during a meeting in Harrisburg. Jones has been serving as the acting president on the Washington County campus since May 2012, when former President Angelo Armenti Jr. was fired.The appointment occurs after a recommendation from the university Council of Trustees to name Jones as interim president.
"I am honored and humbled by this vote of confidence," Jones said in a statement. "I am confident that a bright future lies ahead for this institution, and with the help of our faculty, students and staff, I will make every effort to keep Cal U moving forward."
A formal search for a permanent president at the university has not been announced. The board ratified a pair of new collective bargaining agreements with the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, which represents faculty and athletic coaches at all 14 state universities.The state-owned universities are Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester. The agreements, which run through June 30, 2015, include salary increases, as well as changes in the state system of higher education health care plan, according to a news release from the state system.Eligible faculty and coaches will be given a one-time opportunity to participate in a retirement incentive program similar to that offered to other state system employee groups in 2010.Faculty pay increases would be 1 percent each in 2012-13 and 2013-14 and 2 percent in 2014-15. Faculty also will receive either annual service increments of 2.5 percent or 5 percent each of the three years as they move up the salary schedule or annual cash payments equivalent to the 2.5 percent of their base salary if they are at the top of the pay scale.
Faculty will have higher co-payments for prescription drugs, as well as for some office and emergency room visits.Finally, the agreement includes $400,000 a year for professional development for faculty at all schools to attend program and activities related to innovation in teaching and improvement of student learning outcomes. Coaches will receive salary increases of 2.5 percent in 2012-13 and 2.25 percent in 2013-14, as well as performance-based merit pools of 3 percent each in 2013-14 and 2014-15. They do not receive annual service increments. Coaches will make larger contributions to the cost of their health care premiums, according to the state system.

The week in tech: 5 must-know things
Too busy changing all your passwords to pay attention to this week's tech news? That's OK. We have you covered. Here are this week's most important tech stories.
1. Hackers reveal millions of passwords
LinkedIn, eHarmony and Last.fm were the latest of a growing list of companies to have user passwords stolen.
LinkedIn, which had 6.5 million passwords stolen, says that as of now no user has reported unauthorized access of his or her account.
Common sense ways to protect yourself
•Don't use the same password for multiple sites. If one password is leaked, a hacker can try it on multiple different accounts. Don't think adding an extra letter or two counts as "different." It doesn't. Have truly unique passwords for all sites.
•Create a strong password. That means no "1234" or "JoeSmith1." Combine seemingly random letters and numbers for a strong password.
•Worried about remembering all these random passwords? Then create a password phrase. Use a mnemonic, like you did in grade school, to keep passwords straight. So your Facebook password can be "isal5hadh," which equates to "i spend at least 5 hours a day here." Apologies if we just outed your password.
2. Nintendo shows off next-gen Wii
The Wii U uses many of the first Wii's tricks but adds a twist: It comes with two screens.
The Wii U game console's controller comes with a small screen embedded within it. The "tablet controller" can be used in tandem with regular Wii controllers and can act as a "social window."
When can I buy it?
Not yet. Nintendo didn't reveal exactly when the Wii U would hit stores, but an executive did say it would be available this "holiday season."
OK, well how much will it cost?
Another mystery. All this info will be coming this year.
3. Crowds watch last-in-lifetime Venus transit
Venus passed between the sun and the Earth on Tuesday, briefly appearing as a pea-sized dot crawling across the yellow disk. The transit took nearly seven hours from start to finish.
Quick facts
•This was the first time Venus transited the sun since 2004. It won't happen again for 105 years.
•Though Venus is about the same size as Earth, a day on the planet is 117 times longer than ours.
•Venus is nearly 900 degrees Fahrenheit, or nearly three times as hot as your oven should be when baking brownies.
4. Big carriers get into prepaid phone game
Looking for an iPhone but don't want to be locked into a two-year contract? Then head over to Cricket or Virgin Mobile USA.
You can get the iPhone 4 from Cricket for $399.99 and a $55-per-month unlimited voice, text and data plan. Virgin Mobile offers the iPhone for $549. For $30 per month, you can get unlimited data and text plus 300 minutes of call time.
5. Female tech executives hammer glass ceiling
Women are making inroads into the male-dominated Silicon Valley scene but are still vastly under-represented. Only 3% of tech start-ups were founded by women.
But company founders and leaders are coming out of Google, Salesforce.com and elsewhere for the excitement of shaping a young business.
Quick facts
•An informal poll indicates that the number of women starting tech companies has doubled over the past three years.
•Only 11.7% of the 120,000 computer-science graduates in 2011 were women.
•1% of venture capital money was invested in companies run by female CEOs in 2010.
The top 5 most popular stories in tech
1. Eyes turn skyward as Venus travels across the sun
2. Nintendo's Wii U a 'Swiss Army knife' for games
3. Virgin Mobile offers iPhone as no-contract market gains steam
4. Bat with supertongue seen for first time in Nat Geo series
5. How long should you hang on to IE8?

Sunny And The Sunliners-Talk To Me-1963
Play this song "Sunny And The Sunliners-Talk To Me-1963" music video and read the trivia, the lyrics and view lists of other songs.
|Talk to Me / Rags to Riches (Tear Drop Records, 1963). Sunny & the Sunglows (later known as Sunny & the Sunliners) were an American musical group formed in 1959 in San Antonio, Texas.
The group's members were all chicanos, and their style was a blend of rhythm and blues, tejano, blues, and mariachi. They first recorded in 1962 for their own label, Sunglow. Okeh Records picked up their single "Golly Gee" for national distribution that year, and in 1963, Huey Meaux, a producer from Louisiana and owner of Tear Drop Records, had them record a cover version of Little Willie John's 1958 hit, "Talk to Me". The single (b/w "Every Week, Every Month, Every Year"), released on Tear Drop Records (#3014), went to #4 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #12 on the US Black Singles chart and #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1963. The group followed this release with several further covers - "Rags to Riches" (Tony Bennett) b/w "Not Even Judgment Day", "Out of Sight-Out of Mind" (The Five Keys) b/w "No One Else Will Do", and "La Cacahuata" (The Peanuts) b/w "Happy Hippo".

Did you know? The Okavango Delta is not a UNESCO World Heritage Site…
Okavango Delta and the entire Okavango River up to Huambo, the source of the Okavango River. Note the two sub-catchments in what is one of the remotest regions of southern Africa, inaccessible by road, aircraft or boat. It is going to take a multi-national effort to conserve one of the world's last functioning wilderness areas.
