Berkshire Hathaway Buys Remainder of ISCAR (IMC International Metalworking Companies)
Posted by: Canadian Value (IP Logged)
Date: May 1, 2013 10:16AM
Hot off the press from Warren Buffett himself:
OMAHA, NE & TEFEN, Israel – Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A)(BRK.B), IMC International Metalworking Companies B.V., and IMC's founding Wertheimer family, today announced that Berkshire Hathaway has acquired from the Wertheimer family the 20% of IMC International Metalworking Companies that it does not already own, for consideration of US$2.05 billion.
"Since the time IMC entered our lives, my partner, Charlie Munger, and I have enjoyed Berkshire's association with the company, the Wertheimer family, and the company's management team," said Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "As you can surmise from the price we're paying for the remaining interest, IMC has enjoyed very significant growth over the last seven years, and we are delighted to acquire the portion of the company that was retained by the Wertheimer family when IMC first became a member of the Berkshire group of companies. We look forward to continuing our stewardship of this unique company founded by the Wertheimer family in Israel 60 years ago and nurtured into a truly global enterprise."
"We are very pleased that IMC has found a permanent home in Berkshire Hathaway, which fully appreciates the unique nature of the global Israeli enterprise that we have created, and that is committed to remaining true to that heritage in every way, building on and continuing our historic success and special culture," said Eitan Wertheimer. "The growth experienced by IMC since the 2006 Berkshire transaction validates the faith that Warren and Charlie showed in our business and the special people in Tefen, Israel and around the world who have made our success possible. We are confident that the vision begun by Miriam and Stef Wertheimer, and carried forward by the family's second generation, in partnership with IMC's supremely talented and dedicated executive team, will continue to drive the group forward as a part of the Berkshire family, under the leadership of President and CEO Jacob Harpaz" said Wertheimer.
"This acquisition cements the everlasting bond between Berkshire Hathaway, one of America's outstanding businesses, and IMC, an extraordinary industrial company with a truly global reach, and a presence in the world's most dynamic regions and economies," said IMC President and CEO Jacob Harpaz. "We are confident that being part of the Berkshire family will continue to help us strengthen our position worldwide and maintain the phenomenal growth that we have experienced over the past 60 years."

Broun wants everyone who wears "Arabian dress" to get the thorough patdown at TSA security checkpoints -- even though anyone even half-knowledgeable about antiterrorist security can tell you that no terrorist will wear garb that attracts attention to themselves. They are uniformly intent on blending in and being unnoticed. Anyone wearing "Arabian dress" is actually not likely at all to be a terrorist. [...]
I remember back in the day that the political columnist Jack Anderson ran an annual piece naming someone or other the "dumbest member of Congress". (I remember this because two of my congressmen from Idaho -- George Hansen and Steve Symms -- were perennial winners.) I don't think anyone does it anymore, but someone should. Because Paul Broun would win. A lot.
Joe Conason, in fact, named Broun the stupidest member of Congress last year. I'd say he's in the running again this year.
This is a guy who, just days after the 2008 election, declared that "he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship." When one of Broun's supporters wished aloud for someone to shoot President Obama, Broun laughed and brushed it off. This is the guy who thinks a vital piece of legislation is to declare a "Year of the Bible".
On health care, Broun was equally reality-based (which is to say: not at all), saying thing like this:
"If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card that's in people's pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the War Between The States -- the Great War of Yankee Aggression."
Is Paul Broun of Georgia the dumbest member of Congress? Signs point to Yes

Better crop makes for lower peanut butter prices
Much better conditions this summer in the southeast mean a drop at the supermarket for peanut butter prices.
Prices for peanut butter soared last year following the extreme heat and drought. Fortunately, the southeast received a lot of moisture this year, making for a bumper crop.
"When peanuts were very short, prices went up twenty, thirty, and even forty percent. They're going to have plenty of peanuts this year," said Bob Sutter with the N.C. Peanut Grower's Association.
Farmers are expected to harvest two-thirds more peanuts this year than they did in 2011.
The benefit of lower peanut butter prices will be noticeable to organizations such as food banks who buy very large amounts and could also increase their donations.

It sounds like it is straight from the movies but Britain's spy chiefs are looking for their own gadget inventor.
MI5 is the UK's security service and it has advertised for a scientist to be in charge of creating secret devices.
The role will be like Smithers in Stormbreaker who made so-called spot cream that actually dissolved metal for junior agent Alex Rider.
The job advert does not name the cool gadgets, but it's known that modern day spies use secret hi-tech equipment.
The new science adviser will have to keep up with the latest developments in science and technology.
The job has been advertised on MI5's website. According to the ad, the successful applicant will "lead and co-ordinate the scientific work of the security service".
Professor John Beddington, who is a top government scientist, said: "It will involve a sort of future-gazing to see where technology will be taking us in a year or so."
He said: "This is an extraordinarily exciting job. If you are a good scientist or engineer, please apply."
But don't get too excited - sadly applicants need to be over 18.

It seems that bridging IS the problem. By turning off bridging, I now see
two tabs in the DHCP page and after enabling and configuring, my WIC does
get an address from the soekris. This is all fine and well but is not a
bridge supposed to let DHCP pass anyway? Manual??? I would think if you
bridged the two networks, then any service running on one should be
available to the other.

Eds: Updates with fourth quake, details of rescue efforts. Adds photos.
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) -- A series of earthquakes shook the southeastern part of Guatemala on Monday afternoon, killing at least one person, authorities said.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported four temblors, the largest a 5.8 magnitude, within little more than two hours, all centered in an area about 30 miles (51 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Guatemala City.
The quakes shook most of the Central American country and caused a landslide on the highway to El Salvador near the epicenter of Cuilapa Santa Rosa that trapped at least one car, firefighters said.
Flor Escobar de Jesus, 28, died when a wall collapsed in her house, also in Cuilapa, said Mariano Luz, spokesman for the local Volunteer Fire Department.
Rescuers were digging in the same house because of reports that two families might be missing, Luz said.
Crews trying to reach other villages where damage and causalities were reported were impeded by other landslides blocking roads, he said.
Public buildings were evacuated in the area and school classes canceled, authorities said.
The first 4.8-magnitude temblor hit just after noon local time and the third of the same magnitude hit at about 1:20 p.m. A fourth of 4.5-magnitude area reported south of the others at 2:30 p.m. local time (20:30 GMT).
The depths of the quakes varied 23 miles (37 kilometers) to 38 miles (61 kilometers).

Until the mid 1980's, prizes and awards were not taxed. But then the tax-grinch decided to steal Christmas with the Tax Reform Act of 1986. It says by law, cash prizes must be reported as income."
Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 09, 2012
Last week, Americans for Tax Reform pointed out that Olympic athletes are required by law to pay taxes for winning a medal. This news is creating outrage from Americans who can't understand why these heroes would be punished for representing their country in the Olympic games. The question is can the IRS really tax Olympic medal winners or is this just a myth?
"Until the mid 1980's, prizes and awards were not taxed," says Elevation Group Exposed writer Bob Samms. "But then the tax-grinch decided to steal Christmas with the Tax Reform Act of 1986. It says by law, cash prizes must be reported as income."
In addition to a medal, the US Olympic Committee also awards a cash prize:
- $25,000 to gold medal winners
- $15,000 for silver
- $10,000 for Bronze
For a Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte who sign million-dollar endorsement deals, this isn't much. But to the average amateur shot-put thrower, this is a nice chunk of money.
In addition to the cash prizes, new property must also be included as income using its fair market value as measure.
"This fair market value rule famously became an issue when an IRS spokesperson declared whoever caught the Mark McGwire's record breaking 62nd Home Run ball would owe hundreds of thousands in taxes… even if they gave the ball back to McGwire!" continues Mr. Samms.
However, in the McGwire case, the IRS backed down. Will the IRS attempt to collect taxes and go after American Hero Olympic Athletes?
" Well, according to the law, gold medals are taxable," says Mr. Samms. "But experts believe the IRS would rather skip the outrage than come after an Olympian who doesn't include their winnings on their taxes."

(CNSNews.com) - Sixteen Asia-Pacific nations are preparing for a summit next week, which some hope may lay the foundation for a powerful new regional bloc. Deep divisions and competing agendas are threatening the ambitious vision, however.
The United States has been excluded from the inaugural East Asia Summit in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur on Dec. 14, although the State Department has sought to play down the significance and implications of the non-invitation.
State Department spokesman Adam Ereli told a press briefing Thursday the U.S. had strong economic, political and security ties with nations and existing regional groupings in Asia, and did not see the formation of a new forum "as coming at the expense of our engagement."
The summit participants are the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) grouping; their long-standing "ASEAN+3" dialogue partners China, South Korea and Japan; and newcomers India, Australia and New Zealand.
Together they represent almost half of the world's population and 21 percent of global trade. They include three of the world's four most populous countries, China, India and Indonesia, as well as the world's second-largest economy, Japan.
The concept of a pan-Asian community originated with former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who called in the mid-1980s for an East Asian Economic Caucus, in a bid to counter U.S. influence in the region.
Because of Mahathir's anti-Western inclinations, the proposal was quickly dubbed a "caucus without Caucasians."
Resisted by Washington, the idea was shelved, but it saw the beginnings of a comeback when ASEAN - Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam - began to hold annual ASEAN+3 meetings in 1997.
For various reasons - including concerns by some Asian countries that the envisaged new East Asian Community (EAC) may be dominated by China - some including Japan and Singapore began pushing for a more inclusive membership.
Despite Chinese opposition, Australia, New Zealand and India were eventually invited, but only after agreeing an entry requirement of signing a regional non-aggression treaty with ASEAN.
Russia is also understood to be keen to join, and the European Union has asked for observer status, although an E.U. envoy said it had yet to receive a response.
Mahathir, who retired in late 2003 after 22 years in power, emerged this week to declare the 16-nation formula a corruption of his vision, intimating that Australia and New Zealand would merely be agents for the U.S.
"Australia is basically European and it has made clear to the rest of the world that it is the deputy sheriff for America," he told reporters at a press conference. "Therefore Australia's views would represent not the East, but ... America."
"I have always opposed the idea of Australia and New Zealand being in the group simply because Australia and New Zealand are not really East nor are they Asian," Mahathir said, also voicing suspicion that Japan's "very strong relations with the United States."
The Malaysian government and summit host quickly distanced itself from Mahathir's comments, with Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar saying ASEAN could not afford to be exclusive in a globalized world.
"It is not wrong for us to look beyond ourselves," he said, adding "it is still up to us to determine our future direction."
'Counterbalance to China'
Diplomats' attempts to draft a declaration to be released at the summit have run into difficulties, prompting predictions that the long-awaited meeting may achieve little.
Splits have developed between participating countries that feel ASEAN+3 should be at the core of the EAC, and those wanting all 16 summit participants - including "outsiders" like Australia - to play an equally important role.
China is pushing for the ASEAN+3 idea, while Japan - a close U.S. ally that is going through a tense period with China - wants the more inclusive approach, a position shared by India.
Beijing has been fending off suggestions that it intends to dominate the summit and EAC. Foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said last week that China had no intention to play a dominant role in East Asia since every country was an equal member of the region.
"Japan is trying to drag countries outside this region such as Australia and India into the community to serve as a counterbalance to China," said an editorial in Beijing's official People's Daily, attributing this view to "ASEAN diplomats."
The paper said Japan would likely try to "grab the upper hand" at the summit and promote a pro-U.S. stand, in an attempt to "weaken Chinese influence in East Asia."
Heritage Foundation scholar Dana Dillon said recently that even without taking part in the summit, U.S. influence would be evident.
Eight of the 16 participants are democracies and five are security treaty allies of the U.S., he noted, whereas "China has no formal allies in the group."
India and others hope the envisaged regional community eventually could develop along the lines of the forerunner to the European Union, with a free-trade area stretching from South Asia to New Zealand.
But it remains unclear how much progress towards forming an EAC will come out of next week's summit.
"I don't think there should be unrealistic expectations about what's going to be achieved at one meeting," Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Thursday.
"I think it's only over a period of 10 or 15 years, perhaps 20 years, that the East Asia Summit will really consolidate itself in the architecture of the region one way or another," he said.
"In the end, the test of all of these institutions is going to be what they can deliver for ordinary people," Downer added, citing in particular the need to improve living standards and security.
University of Indonesia international relations lecturer Bantarto Bandoro warned of likely setbacks ahead.
"An East Asia community is one that is supposed to convey the idea of certain economic, social and security bonds stemming from proximity, common interests, neighborhood, friendship and so forth," he wrote in the Jakarta Post.
"But the East Asian community will later find that with its competing state interests ... policy preferences and views, conflicts within the community will remain inevitable and the road to a solid and integrated East Asian regional framework of cooperation will not be smooth."

CREDIT for PRIOR LEARNING
Transfer credit
In general, UCFV will honour courses with a P or better earned by a student at another institution recognized by the University College. Official transcripts will list the transfer credit awarded.
Normally transfer credit cannot be used for more than 50% of the credits necessary to complete the requirements for a degree, diploma, or certificate. This limit may be increased to 75% for a program.
Transfer credit allowed for previous work in a particular subject area may or may not be applicable to a students program, and does not necessarily excuse the student from meeting the prerequisites or other requirements for entry into a course or program.
Recognition by UCFV of studies completed elsewhere does not imply, or in any way guarantee, that the transfer credits will be recognized by another institution.
To apply for transfer credit a student should submit an Application for Transfer Credit to the Admissions and Records office and arrange for an official transcript to be sent showing completion of the courses. A minimum of six to eight weeks is required.
Transfer credit arrangements are published in the online B.C. transfer guide, available at www.bccat.bc.ca
Advanced standing
For some UCFV courses, a student may demonstrate mastery of a subject area and be admitted directly to a higher-level course without completing prerequisite or corequisite courses. Advanced standing does not give the student credit for courses bypassed, nor does it preclude the necessity of obtaining credit for courses required by other institutions.
Advanced Placement program
Transfer credit and/or advanced standing will be granted to students who complete certain Advanced Placement Program examinations with grades of 4 or 5. These examinations are administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Transferable subjects are:

In addition, UCFV will grant unassigned credit for other AP courses with a grade of 4 or 5 that are accepted at other B.C. public universities or university colleges. See the transfer guide at www.bccat.bc.ca
To obtain transfer credit, official AP score results from the College Board should be submitted to the Admissions and Records office with an Application for Transfer Credit.
International Baccalaureate program
Transfer credit and/or advanced standing will be granted to students who complete higher level International Baccalaureate courses with a grade of 5 or better. Transferable subjects are:

In addition, UCFV will grant unassigned credit for other higher level IB courses with a grade of 5 or better that are accepted at other B.C. public universities or university colleges. See the transfer guide at www.bccat.bc.ca
To obtain transfer credits, official IB certificates or diplomas should be submitted to the Admissions and Records office with an Application for Transfer Credit.
Letters of Permission
Students currently enrolled in a UCFV certificate, diploma, or degree program who plan to take academic work at another institution to count toward their programs should request a Letter of Permission. The Letter of Permission request should be submitted to Admissions and Records well before registration for the course in question. Forms are available from the UCFV Admissions and Records office.
Letters of Permission will be issued only to students in good academic standing (students must meet the minimum GPA required for their program, or maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher if the program does not specify a minimum). Students must ensure that any outstanding fees are paid, and any library holds are cleared.
Visiting students
Students from other post-secondary institutions who plan to attend UCFV as visiting students should contact their home institution for permission. Visiting students to UCFV must submit a UCFV application form, the application fee, and the Letter of Permission (if applicable) from the home institution. A recent transcript and Request for Transfer Credit form is also required if you have taken a prerequisite course at another institution.
Assessment Services
Refer to Access Services section for information about Assessment Services and other access initiatives.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition
The Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) process offers you the opportunity to have your learning and work experience assessed and appropriate credit granted.
At UCFV, there are several methods of documenting and demonstrating that your prior learning is equivalent to that which normally would be acquired through formal study in the public post-secondary system. Presently, the following three PLAR options are available:
1) Transfer credit
Many credit courses which are offered at a recognized post-secondary institution have been evaluated by UCFV already. These courses have been assigned formal transfer credit. The UCFV Admissions and Records office maintains a list of transfer credit arrangements. See Guidelines for transfer below, for details.
2) Course challenges (75% course fee)
These are credits which are awarded through a specifically arranged process, by which you demonstrate mastery of the objectives of a course without actually taking the course. UCFVuses a wide range of challenge methods. The choice of method will depend on the course you challenge. For example, you may be asked to demonstrate your mastery by written exam, written assignment(s), project, oral interview, samples of your work, or other means. Not all UCFV courses can be challenged. Regulations related to course challenge are outlined in the Course Challenge section of this calendar.
3) Portfolio assessment (75% course fee)
In the portfolio method of prior learning assessment and recognition, you identify, articulate, and document your learning in a portfolio format. The portfolio you prepare must include a short autobiography, a paper outlining your educational and career goals, a description of your specific learning outcomes, and documentation that provides evidence of your learning in the subject area in which you want to be assessed. Your completed portfolio is submitted to the appropriate faculty member for assessment.
To help you prepare a portfolio which is acceptable for assessment, UCFV also offers a credit course (ADED 200) in which you develop your portfolio.
The UCFV official transcript will indicate the number of credits derived through the portfolio assessment process. Credits awarded through portfolio assessment will not necessarily be transferable to other programs or institutions.
Normally, no more than 25 percent of the credits required in a program will be awarded for learning which is demonstrated and documented in a portfolio.
This PLAR option presently is available for some, but not all, UCFV courses and programs.
Credits obtained through prior learning do not meet UCFV program residency requirements.
For more details about each of these three options, contact Assessment Services at 604-557-4006.
Guidelines for transfer
You can begin your university studies at UCFV and then transfer to another university or university college to complete your degree.
If you plan to take UCFV courses with the intention of transferring later, you should apply for one of the following (whichever suits your goals most closely):
In many arts and science subjects you can complete a four-year bachelors degree at UCFV; for others you can complete one or two years at UCFV and then transfer to finish the degree elsewhere.
The transferability of individual UCFV courses to B.C. universities is explained in transfer guides. The B.C. Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) produces an online guide for transfer students, at www.bccat.bc.ca. BCCAT also publishes a booklet, Tips for Transfer. This booklet includes a transfer planning checklist, answer questions about transfer, and provides many useful hints for transfer students. Copies are available from Student Services or online at the BCCAT website.
In order to do your UCFV course planning, you must be familiar with the degree program at the university to which you wish to transfer. A UCFV educational advisor can assist you in understanding the university calendars, and planning your UCFV courses.
University regulations vary with respect to transfer, but the following guidelines generally apply:
In summary: You can transfer to many different arts, science, and professional degrees at other universities. In order to do so, you must plan your courses carefully so that they are fully accepted at the receiving institution.

Product Highlights
The Boris FX AAF Transfer and Boris XML Transfer Bundle (Mac) (Download) is a software bundle that contains an AAF plug-in that allows you to export AAF files from Apple FCP (Final Cut Pro) sequences and import them into Avid Media Composer / Avid DS, and a XML transfer plug-in that allows you to transfer FCP program sequences to After Effects.
The Boris AAF transfer plug-in transfers images and video clips while preserving alpha information and entire live FCP program sequences can be transferred along with media, markers, cuts, dissolves, filters, and audio. In addition, BCC (Boris Continuum Complete) filters and transitions along with keyframed changes that are applied to clips in the FCP timeline are also retained during transfer. With this plug-in, sequences can be edited and completed in the Media Composer or DS timeline without having to export files back to FCP for editing.
Using the Boris AAF Transfer software, you can translate many of Final Cut Pro's Motion Tab features that include basic motion, crop, opacity, and speed. You can also convert FCP's built-in text generators into Avid Title Tool effects. Many of FCP's time-based effects are supported by the AAF Transfer plug-in.
The Boris XML transfer plug-in is compatible with 64-bit platforms and provides support for Adobe After Effects CS5. All trimmed FCP clips can be edited in Adobe After Effects as stepped-up or stepped-down layers.
Audio levels, pans, and cross-fades are accurately preserved and effects settings and keyframe animations are fully translated while preserving multi-clip edits. During transfer from FCP to After Effects, user marks, comments and labels for clips and sequences, and all user-defined names are maintained. The QuickTime-based media files are transferred to After Effects without the need for transcoding or file duplication. It is compatible with Boris Continuum Complete and Final Effects Complete which provides the same look and keyframe values for every parameter.

Fundraiser raises money for seniors
Updated 11:32 am, Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Southeast Community Outreach for Older People (SCOOP) staged a successful rock-a-thon fundraiser March 14 in the parking lot of the offices of District 3 Councilwoman Leticia Ozuna and State Rep. Roland Gutierrez (District 119) at 3319 Sidney Brooks, Building 510.
"I am so grateful to the dozens of community members who came out to support SCOOP today," Ozuna said.
More than 50 neighbors attended the event, including a 91-year-old resident of the South Side.
"We hope to raise up to $3,000. It's our first event, and we want to make this an annual affair," said Terry Milligan, executive director of SCOOP.
The group's mission is to enable older community members to keep their independence and maximize their quality of life while remaining in their homes.
Milligan said they are proud of SCOOP's ability to offer seniors a trip to Luby's for a free meal and community celebration during their birthday month, noting that the rock-a-thon will help pay for many of the special birthday trips.

SCOOP is located at 1602 Goliad Road, Suite B, and can be reached at 359-6678.

Luis Suarez pleased with Daniel Sturridge partnership
Luis Suárez believes that his flourishing partnership with Daniel Sturridge could become the best of his career, but Brendan Rodgers, their manager, has admitted that there is a price to be paid for pairing the two forwards as Liverpool continue to strive for fluency.
Rodgers's decision to operate with Suárez and Sturridge has paid rich dividends with the duo contributing six of Liverpool's past eight goals and their interplay has made them one of the Barclays Premier League's most feared strike partnerships.
Yet the switch from 4-2-3-1 to 3-5-2 to accommodate the change in tactical emphasis has created a new dilemma with Rodgers acknowledging that the latter formation makes it more difficult for his team to press opponents in the manner he would like.

Improvement is all any reasonable observer could expect from the UNCW men's basketball team this season.
Improvement is all any reasonable observer could expect from the UNCW men's basketball team this season. Saddled with a postseason ban due to previous teams' academic transgressions, the Seahawks approached these 30 regular-season games as an opportunity to restore a once-proud program.
They hoped this four-month window would fill with rays of light, nurture a seed that could blossom into successful future seasons. Enough with all the losing. This was the time to turn the program around.
Yet coach Buzz Peterson uttered a familiar refrain on Wednesday night after his team crashed into the halfway point. Ever since T.J. Carter and Todd Hendley finished their eligibility in the 2007-08 season, the Seahawks have searched for a leader, a strong personality who can unite the team when adversity hits. Someone to keep a rough first-half patch from exploding into a 37-point second-half deficit.
That, of course, is what happened Wednesday night in Harrisonburg against James Madison. The final tally was 28 points because JMU coach Matt Brady was sympathetic and pulled his stars with seven minutes remaining. Such implosions have become commonplace for the Seahawks during the last seven seasons.
"I wish I had that leader within," Peterson said. "Thought I had one, but I don't."
Keith Rendleman is the team's best player, a class act. But he scores and rebounds quietly. Besides, three and a half losing seasons beats down even the strongest man.
Behind him, there are candidates. But who?
Two of the more talented players on the team – Freddie Jackson and Tyree Graham – have been suspended for various violations of team rules in the last month. That makes it difficult to look your teammates in the eye (or at least it should), much less lead them. When Peterson signed the graduate student Graham last spring, he praised his presence as a strong, vocal leader in the locker room.
"We're missing a little bit of leadership," Jackson said. "But guys have to step up and come together."
Now Peterson, who has lost 64 percent of the games he's coached in two-and-a-half seasons at UNCW, is searching for the right button to push. The Seahawks don't have an identity, lack a true statistical strength and haven't shown any toughness on the road, where they've lost 15 in a row and six times by double-figure margins.
We're about three losses shy of a meltdown. Maybe two.
"I've had meetings on different occasions with different players. Tonight I was probably the most positive I've been as a coach this whole season." Peterson said after the JMU loss. "Guy made a mistake, I let him play through it. Far as trying to be positive with them, we're trying our best to be that way to try and give 'em confidence."
UNCW guard Craig Ponder sat in a somber visitor's locker room and said this is an opportunity for someone to emerge as a leader.
"That's when the best players come out and play, when times go bad," he said. "You're not evaluated by when everything's going good. Everybody knows that," he said. "We've just got to stay positive. I know it's hard to, but you have to stay positive and keep pushing forward. Learn from it."
The value of leadership is immeasurable, and most coaches will tell you it must be identified during the recruiting process. Leadership extends beyond the locker room and the practice floor, starts before the season and continues afterward. It unites a team full of different personalities and pushes them toward one common goal.
But the chain of leadership has been broken at UNCW. The window is closing as another forgettable February looms. And, it's getting dark out there again.

Baguio lauds ASEAN+ chess champs-A A +A
Monday, June 23, 2014
WITH their feat in the recent 15th ASEAN+ Age Group Chess Championship, upstart woodpushers Bea Mendoza and Brylle Gever Vinluan were lauded by city officials during the flag raising ceremony at the Baguio City Hall Monday morning.
Mendoza who snatched two silvers and one bronze medal, and Vinluan with a remarkable three gold mint haul, helped the Philippine team to a second place finish in the ASEAN+ Age Group Championship 2014 Macau, China held June 3-11.
The RP team clinched the second overall spot in the competition with 35 gold, 41 silver, and 17 bronze medals, while Vietnam topped 23 other nations with 54-46-26, with Singapore a distant third with 13-7-20.
Vice Mayor Edison Bilog, who led the presentation of the two fledgling chess wizards, gave attribution to the athlete's discipline, dedication, hardwork and family's support.
"Their achievements at a young age are working emulations particularly to the young," Bilog said.
Mendoza, the 12-year-old seventh grader at the University of Baguio, also earned two silver medals from the team standard and team rapid chess competition including one bronze scaled from the team blitz contest.
Vinluan, who is an eighth grader in the same school, capped his three gold medals after lording in the individual rapid chess, team rapid chess, and team blitz contest.
The 14-year-old Vinluan is the reigning Batang Pinoy Nationals 2014 chess champion, while Mendoza is the reigning girls 14 under regional chess titleholder.
The two future FIDE masters, earned their berth as part of the Philippine Team after a stellar performance in the 2014 National Age Group Chess Championship Grand Finals held in Quezon Province earlier in April.
Meanwhile, Bilog encouraged everyone to continuously support the athletes so they can possibly rip more success in the future.
"Mabigyan sana natin ng suporta at maalagaan natin itong ating mga atleta, international or local competitions man ay dapat mabigyan natin sila ng tulong," Bilog quipped.
Both athletes will receive cash incentives from the city pursuant to the city ordinance no. 59 series of 1993.

TURIN -- The gold medal is still around her neck. She won't let go of it. She can't.
It's all too fresh, too new, too unbelievable for Chandra Crawford, one day after she went from unknown to household name.
She is touching her medal, staring at it, mystified by it.
"I thought they looked kind of weird on TV, but they look so cool up close," she said, her voice still beaming with excitement, her tone so infectious.
"I keep looking at it, thinking, 'This is mine. This is my medal. I'm not taking it off. I'm going to wear it forever.'"
This is Day 1 of the rest of her life, her first day as a celebrity, first day to think about being Olympic champion. So much has happened in a whirlwind 24 hours for Canada at the Games: Cindy Klassen became a record breaker, Team Canada was eliminated in hockey, the Shannon Kleibrink rink rebounded for bronze.
Chandra Crawford saw none of it. She is living in a rented "funky little Italian home" with the rest of the cross country ski team in Sestiere, two hours from the city, with only local television, without a computer hook up, without any other real connection to the Games except through her teammates and support staff.
"I haven't even seen any of the coverage," she said. "You know it's funny. Here I am at the Olympics, but I really don't know what's going on. It's hard to imagine that everyone in Canada knows me. People keep asking, 'What's it like to be a celebrity?' I don't know what to think about that. It's kind of neat. I'm still relatively in the dark here."
But on Wednesday night here, with all of Canada watching hockey, Crawford and her family and her cross country family partied at a local establishment.
"I'm not really a party girl, but it was incredible," she said. "People were so excited. It was a rip-roaring party."
Crawford would not confess to her state of health yesterday morning -- headache or not -- but did admit to sleeping in and treating herself to french toast with a side of maple syrup. "I brought it with me, my own little part of Canada," she said. "I thought I deserved a treat so I had it."
Yesterday, after sleeping in and a short training session, it was interview time. One after the other. Networks. Radio stations. Newspapers.
"Every 15 minutes it's been someone else," she said. "I'm just getting used to doing this. I'm having fun with it. Nobody's ever wanted to talk to me before. It's like waking up and suddenly you have this platform to talk about sport and health and cross country and all the things that are important to me.
"My parents introduced me to the outdoor life at a very young age. They weren't into competition at all. We just went out as a family and had this super fun environment. We had the love of skiing from when we were little.
"They taught me to live the day with total passion. That's so much of my identity. That's what I've been telling people today. Look what you can do if you get into sport.
"You know, society is bombarded with trash on television and all this media stuff about image. If you can somehow aspire to be more than just the images on music television, wouldn't that be great?"
She is on a roll, living the moment, aware her life won't ever be the same again. Forever she will be, Chandra Crawford, Olympic champ.
But the real celebration, taking the medal home, showing to her supporters in Canmore, Alta., sharing it friends, will have to wait. There still are races on the World Cup circuit. She won't be home until March 20.
"That's what I'm looking forward to," she said. She already had thought about what it would be like to go home a gold medallist, dreamt about it, just not for these Olympics.
"I kept thinking I'm going to win a gold medal in 2010. That was my life plan."
The plan came to fruition four years early in the cross country sprint event.
"I wanted to be like Sara (Renner). Her attitude is always, 'Cut the crap and just go for it.' That's what I did and look what happened?"
And now, who knows what awaits her?
Some enterprising company, looking for a fresh face, a sharp mind and terrific spokesperson may want to sign her up. It's worth considering.
"I guess my dad is my agent," she answered when asked if she had representation. "I'm going to put it out there. I'm interested in not driving my '88 Dodge Caravan anymore. I can't take it on the winter roads and highways anymore. I don't know what's going to happen from here.
"But whatever it is, I look forward to it."

To the Letters Editors:
I am calling this the "Shame on you Award" for Senator Ed Gomes and Representative Don Clemons for not pursuing the allegations I made regarding State Labor Board Arbitrators, Michael Culhane and Gerald Weiner for possibly fraud from the State
Why wouldn't they pursue the allegations of the alleged fraud complaint I made against State Labor Arbitrators Mr. Weiner, Chair and Mr. Culhane, Mgmt. Member? I have written to both of them on four occasions. Senator Gomes has told me twice he would look into my allegations as he stated he is a friend to the Arbitrators and he didn't think the Arbitrators would violate my rights by ignoring the NAGE Contract. I sent two packages of information & related documents, including portions of the NAGE Contract which states the Arbitrators "shall not add to nor subtract from" the NAGE contract, never-the-less Mr. Weiner and Mr. Culhane violated the NAGE contract when issuing an award to my grievance complaint by doing such and they allegedly dragged my case on for two years because they would be paid for each session they attended. This matter plus more is being investigated by Attorney General Blumenthal's Office and which was also forwarded to State Auditors Mr. Jaekle and Mr. Johnston for an investigation. This matter was also given to the Bridgeport F.B.I.
I ask is the reason Senator Gomes will not pursue this matter because Mr. Weiner is heavily and politically connected to the "Powers to be" in the Senate and State House of Rep. or is it because Mr. Weiner is or was allegedly the Town Chair in his town. Senator Gomes also promised me in front of Bishop Mouring at a ceremony at the Bus Terminal that he would look into my complaints. After half-a-dozen times of me pleading with State Rep. Clemons to look into my allegations, he finally called Attorney Blumenthal's office pertaining to this matters. For these reasons, I am asking that Senator Gomes, Vice Chair of Labor to consider stepping down as a member of the State Labor Board Committee since he refuse to look into the matter of the Arbitrators alleged fraud from the State.
As I was employed with the City of Bridgeport for 24 years before being unjustly terminated for whistle blowing about contaminated dirt piles located next to the City Health building, which cost the City rough fully ¼ million dollars to remove. I am enclosing a portion of the NAGE Union agreement which clearly states the procedures that should be abide by and the Arbitrators had no authority to and should not have changed the contract by adding to and taking away from the contract. The Grievance complaint states "Cecil C. Young's benefits were terminated on March 20, 2006 for unjust cause & the City of Bridgeport is in violation of the NAGE contract under article 19" "Such Health Benefits and Insurance shall continue to be provided for terminated employees who have filed a timely grievance of such termination under this agreement, until a final decision on such grievance in arbitration or six (6) months from the date of termination, whichever is sooner." "The arbitrator(s) shall not add to, nor subtract from the terms of this agreement as written."
Michael C. Culhane was paid for the following hearing dates: 8/16/06 ($225.00), 10/23/06 ($150.00), 12/7/06 ($150.00), 8/28/07 ($225.00), 10/22/07 ($150.00), 12/12/07 ($150.00), 2/25/08 ($150.00)
Gerald T Weiner, Esq. was paid for the following hearing dates: 8/28/07 ($225.00,
10/22/07 ($150.00), 12/12/07 ($150.00), 2/25/08 ($150.00) and 5/22/08 ($175.00)
Because the Arbitrators added to the NAGE contract, the benefits I should have received in 2006 were denied. To this day, I still have not received my benefits which the NAGE contract clearly states I should have received. Because medical benefits were denied, my conditions has worsened which has gone into thousands of dollars & the City does not want to honor unless I can prove that my conditions are worst because I was not treated in 2006.. It is now 2010 and my conditions continue to worsen.

Fort Hood Herald
Seneca Hart doesn't always wear her heart on her sleeve, but she's usually carrying it around on her purse.
Hart is the local entrepreneur of HeroOnMyArm.com, a Web site that features purses made out of soldiers' uniforms.
Hart's purses — which are fast becoming a local fashion trend among military spouses — are created from old uniform tops that customers send to her, which she then cuts apart and sews into bags that display the servicemembers' name, rank, branch and unit.
Bags are then customized, she said, to give each a personal touch such as a colored ribbon, flowery lining, or an "I love my soldier" patch.
Hart, a Killeen military spouse and mother of two daughters under the age of 4, said her love of sewing began several years ago when her mother-in-law, Donna, taught her.
"I made the first bag with my husband's uniform," said Hart, whose husband, Brandon, is an aviator with the 1st Cavalry Division.
In the fall of 2006, when Brandon was deployed to Iraq, Seneca and her girls spent some time at Donna's home.
"(Donna) saw the bag and, since it had her son's name on it, she said, 'I have to have one!'"
So, with a few tips from seamstress Donna, Seneca set about selling some of her handiwork on eBay. Orders began coming in slowly but steadily, and Seneca was filling about two orders a week for people from all over the country who wanted to honor loved ones with the unique handbags.
Seneca creates the accessories with uniforms from all the branches of military service, as well as for firefighters and police officers.
"I love that each one is so special to the person," she said. "Each one has a story. Each one makes you pause when you see it."
Feedback from customers was so positive, Seneca was motivated to launch her own Web site, www.heroonmyarm.com, where she now fills some 10 orders a week.
"I try to do the sewing in the evenings, when the girls are sleeping, and I try to do one during naptime," she said. "But it doesn't always work out that way."
Equipped with an industrial-size sewing machine and spools of thread, Seneca's business has become so popular, she's overtaken the guest bedroom of their home.
"I hired on a seamstress," she said. "And when we build again, I'm going to put in a studio."
Right now, orders come in through the Web site and people mail the uniform tops to Seneca. She takes them apart, creates the purse, and ships them back out through the mail.
"One day I'd like to have a storefront, but for now the mail works perfectly. It's easy and I've never had a single problem with orders getting lost."
Seneca said she loves creating the bags for several reasons, the first of which is that she knows how proud she is of her husband, and likes helping other spouses wear something that showcases the same pride.
"I tried sewing other things, like children's clothing, but with this I know I'm helping out other spouses."
Seneca also likes that the business keeps her very occupied while her husband is deployed.
"I found my niche," she said.
For more information, visit www.heroonmyarm.com. Bags begin at about $35. Hart will be accepting Christmas orders through the first week in December.

Existence Edit
If there's no info on this enemy, no image, and no references, then how did this page come to existence? I'm not saying that the enemy is fake, per se, more that I don't know exactly how we know this thing is in the game as of yet. 07:42, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- May I also add that upon inspection, this page was created by a user who was recently blocked for vandalism. 07:44, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
This page Edit
We can rename \ redo this page right after the game is released and we know EXACTLY what creature or character this ghoul is. This red ghoul is a part of Lonesome Road, so the page may stay. Master Mold 16:37, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
- That wasn't the issue, my issue was that there is no proof that the enemy in the picture is nothing more than a ghoul. Before that picture was added, this page was completely blank. I have no problem with the page being here, it's just that I'm not convinced this is a "Blood man" as of yet. 03:55, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
- The blood man uses non-vanilla race textures and gear. Tagaziel (call!) 06:23, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Non-vanilla textures? You've got to be kidding me. What do you call a red, flayed human without nose and some tufts of hair? A ghoul.
- I'd consider the Marked Men to be a subclass of ghoul; one that has had all the flaky decaying skin blasted off by the constant winds of the Divide. --22.214.171.124 07:22, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

- The blood man uses non-vanilla race textures and gear. Tagaziel (call!) 06:23, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
Blood Man... Edit
He looks like a ghoul.
- Ghouls were originally called bloodmen on a piece of concept art. Chief Talk to meh. 11:58, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
LOOK CLOSER AT THE EYES! it was never a blood man! its a ghoul! look carefully at his eyes and you can see they are dark and small like a ghoul's!
better picture Edit
I uploaded a screenshot from the Lonesome Road trailer, looks like the 'Blood Men' were the NCR soldiers.
Errm they wear a bit of legion armour too (shoulder pads). They could be infected scavengers or possibly Ulysses followers?
- We know the NCR lost men going through the Divide on some occasions, so it's not impossible that they're NCR soldiers. And scavenging is of the utmost importance in an area like that I'd imagine. "Say 'ello to my little friend!"
I added a new image, this one is actually alive and in combat, as well as a better view of his armor. --Felix Brehh 19:01, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Blood Man Edit
Didn't Johnson Nash say something like: hope a storm from the divide skins him alive or something similar? Maybe these things are people without skin?--220.127.116.11 19:04, September 14, 2011 (UTC) you could be right i mean it doesnt seem like a ghoul would know how to salvage armour and most smart ghouls are non hostile so these are most likely skinned humans--Corporal grif 21:56, September 14, 2011 (UTC) Makes sense, someone should mention that on the page. It's full of speculation that they're ghouls.
Yup. Anyhow they're probably the remnants of the legion and NCR that were sent there. Banding together for survival or the like. =P Wyrmalla 23:57, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
Salvaged NCR power armour Edit
I'm not sure this should be mentioned, it could've been the Courier in the video wearing it since it was when Ulysses was narrating about factions... Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 22:43, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
im feeling like this is one of the divide dwellers and they are from ncr and legion
They aren't creatures. They are Ghouls who have just become xenophobic. Undead Hat 18:32, September 20, 2011 (UTC)
Pfft Edit
Blood Man, HA!
The name makes no sense. Edit
Anybody willing to tell me why theyre called Marked Men? What mark do they have? Why not just call them Divide Remnants. Or something something Remnants. I don't see how the word Marked got into this. I know that's their name and we can't change that, but why Marked? --Felix Brehh 20:51, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe because they got irrevocably marked by the Divide? Like branding? Tagaziel (call!) 20:57, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
That would make sense, but they could have chosen a better word for Marked. Maybe scarred, forgotten, something like that. I like the symbolism in the name, but the word could have been a lot more appealing to the characters. --Felix Brehh 21:10, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
WHY Edit
WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE HAIR WITHOUT ANY SKIN 22.214.171.124 01:21, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
Replace ED-E with Enclave detonatorEdit
This article speaks of the Courier bringing ED-E to the Divide prior to FNV and Lonesome Road. There are no indications that it was ED-E or a duplicate of him that caused the Divide disaster.
Therefore I suggest we instead use other users' suggestion of it being a special Enclave detonator that caused the disaster.--TD Ghost 15:51, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
It definitely wasn't ED-E that destroyed the divide, because LR ED-E was built by the divide computers after they picked up the original ED-E entering the Mojave in 2281 (game start). I'll change it now if everyone is ok with that. Al bukhari 22:06 (GMT), 31 October, 2011.
I stand correctedEdit
ED-E is the special detonator that caused the Divide, I really did not pick that up in the DLC, hence my confusion.--TD Ghost 19:42, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
Does Fight the Power! work on these guys?--220.127.116.11 15:08, September 29, 2011 (UTC)sane
- Well they aren't in a faction, so they are considered natives or something, Sneering Imperialist would make more sense. --Felix Brehh 17:17, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
No mate, you were right the first time, all the eyebots, including LR ED-E, were created in the divide after picking up Original ED-Es' signal at the start of the game. This is confirmed on the divide page which states that it was a detonator and does not mention ED-E once Al Bukhari 22:09 (GMT), October 31 2011.
Are marked men truly ghouls?Edit
In dialogue with ulysses at a certain time during lonesome road, he talks about the marked men. At this time you can ask him "what are they, ghouls?" He says "not exactly" and proceeds to explain that they look like ghouls because their skin has been flayed by the storms at the divide.
If this is the case, why are they said to be a variant of ghouls in this article? I think this should be cleared so as to avoid an appearance of "non-professionalism" Thanks (Nemerian 09:38, October 21, 2011 (UTC))
- What's nonprofessional? Marked men can be considered a type of ghoul unique to the Divide. Just like regular ghouls, they thrive near radiation. Tagaziel (call!) 10:18, October 21, 2011 (UTC)
If that were the case then Harold could be considered a ghoul as well. He looked like them when he was mobile but he has a different mutation. In a similar fashion to marked men who "are" ghouls but had different means to become ghouls. From that point of view, should we consider Super Mutants to be ghouls as well since they too were once human but had different means to become ghouls? Or should we still consider them Super Mutants? --Radnus 188.8.131.52 17:50, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
Perk QuestionsEdit
Can anyone confirm if the Black Widow, Confirmed Bachelor and Purifier perks work against Marked Men?--220.127.116.11 23:47, October 21, 2011 (UTC)
Unintentional? Edit
"[...]unintentionally brought a package to the Divide from Navarro containing a mysterious ICBM detonator[...]"
The Courier knowingly brought the package in; he/she was unaware that it was a detonator, as was everyone else at the time. This sentence should read something like: "[...]brought a package to the Divide from Navarro unaware of its containing a mysterious ICBM detonator[...]"
At best the original sentence is ambiguous, at worst it is outright incorrect.
Respawn rate? Edit
I just wanted to know how long it takes for these guys to respawn in The Divide. I really want to go salvage some more armor but it's always empty. After 3 days out of the divide and all that, only every so often do they randomly pop out of thin air when I'm there. So any of you guys know exactly how long it takes for the marked men to respawn in their original areas? (Not counting the unique named marked men, obviously.) 18.104.22.168 00:06, May 24, 2012 (UTC) Sorry, signed without logging in. :p Felix Brehh 00:07, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
Blister Edit
Blister description reads "a hardened former NCR ranger". How do we know that? Its true he wears the Marked Men version of ranger armor, but he also wears one of the helmets Ulysses says only former Legionaries wear, due to their burning hatred of the Legate. TheShotgunShogun (talk) 18:34, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
Early scavenging Edit
I've found that in the early game (levels 10-20), that Marked Men can be amazingly good sources of powerful weaponry; 12.7mm pistols, trail carbines, sniper rifles, and a lot of other high-level guns can be nabbed early on if you are skilled. I recently started a new game and have progressed to level 12, and already have the above weapons + 2 SMMG's and 2 Shishkebabs. Does anybody else think this is worth mentioning in the article? As a tip I mean, it's already noted that they have the guns in the sections on Marked Men types. Just, maybe there should be pointing out the fact that they can provide excellent weapons early on?

Bridgeville, South Fayette libraries look to replace director
Risk-taking and balance are two qualities Rebecca Long, director of the South Fayette Township and Bridgeville Public libraries, hopes her successor has.
She relied on both as she managed the libraries after their partnership began in January. Long, 39, her husband and two children, will return to Erie, her hometown, at the end of the month. The library board will continue its search.
Interim staffers will fill her roles at each site. Paul Antoline will take the lead at Bridgeville. Jody Wilson, family and youth service manager at South Fayette, will step into the interim role there.
Long and the board developed the transition plan this month.
"Both libraries have fabulous and very capable staffs, and boards that are willing to think in alternative manners to address how to best provide library services to this area," Long said.
Both staffs made adjustments because of the merger. In November 2013, South Fayette Library agreed to manage the day-to-day operations at Bridgeville, allowing both staffs to focus on serving their patrons.
Through the agreement, the libraries would share programming expertise, support functions and outreach, according to Charity Leonette of the Allegheny County Library Association at that time. Bridgeville was a small community with a limited tax base and a new facility that served as a community anchor. South Fayette had a growing population. Long, who was serving as director in South Fayette at the time, now would take on Bridgeville.
"The demand for children's library services from print materials to programming has grown exponentially," she said of South Fayette's focus on the young families in the township.
Library use there has increased 45 percent since 2011. Bridgeville's patrons have visited the library steadily over the years. Its new large community room can welcome in speakers with special interests to serve new audiences. This dichotomy in populations creates different needs in each building.
"We're looking for someone to have a strategic view," said Bob Milacci, South Fayette's board president and head of the search committee. "We need someone to look at what's going on in both, continue the work that Becca started and make better usage of the resources that we have."
The committee hopes to have a new director in place in a few months, said Milacci.
Long would love to be remembered for her passion in providing and improving library services. She will serve as technology coordinator at the Erie County Public Library.

After years of discussion, the Beale Street Entertainment District on Friday, Sept. 15, gets a monument in honor of the late blues legend B.B. King who began his career on Beale Street in the late 1940s.
At SEC Media Days this summer in Hoover, Ala., the 14 head coaches brought along more starting offensive linemen (5) than starting quarterbacks (3). Such is the state of the most high profile position in the Southeastern Conference at the beginning of the 2016 college football season.
A set of 20 Gibson guitar sculptures will begin showing up at various sites in Memphis later this year as part of a "GuitarTown" public art project.
The project by the Gibson Foundation, the nonprofit philanthropic division of Gibson Brands, is currently seeking applications from artists to customize the 10-foot-tall replicas of Gibson Lucille brand guitars for the GuitarTown project.
Letters have been going out over the past few weeks to church leaders, beauty shops and other South Memphis businesses, alerting them in part to the colorful new mural that artist Brandon Marshall has painted on the east wall at 960 South Bellevue Blvd.
Brandon Marshall is a full-time artist, making a living painting commissioned murals for clients. He's also well-versed in the graffiti world of Memphis, a small but determined group of artists who tag properties around the city.
The biggest positive for the 2015 Titans is that they continue to fight.
Their record – 3-9 – is terrible, not a marked improvement over last year's 2-14 debacle. But the Titans have not folded on a regular basis, as they did a year ago when they lost nine games by two touchdowns or more.
Downtown's South Main neighborhood may have been part of the first official arts district in the city of Memphis, but that's not been exactly obvious while looking around on a drive or walk through the area.

Fall camp is done, and it's time to get in game-week mode with the season opener against Utah State fast approaching.
So go to the little box next to each of UT's opponents on the 2014 schedule and pick the winner.
Five Memphis-area artists will be the first recipients of ArtsAccelerator grants, created earlier this year by ArtsMemphis to help individual working artists in the field of visual arts.
The winners are Ben Butler, Mary Jo Karimnia, Susan Maakestad, Brandon Marshall, and Terri Phillips. Each artist will receive a $3,000 ArtsAccelerator grant, and all projects will be completed by August 2014.

In a way, Paltrow has already anticipated the skepticism on the site.
Vieira realizes this mission makes him the butt of an endless onslaught of skepticism and criticism.
Of course, Awlaki is a spin doctor and a propagandist, so we should read his rantings with some skepticism.
After Vietnam, it was axiomatic that the press would approach those in power with a skepticism verging on cynicism.
I have to admit, and in the face of all my weariness and skepticism, I like the idea.
The evidence, however, seems to me to stand against the skepticism expressed therein.
Educated reflection and skepticism can disturb this spontaneous relation.
skepticism in a book did not disturb him; he could put down words against it.
There was interest in his mind, overlaid with skepticism, of course, but interest all the same.
Miss Whitmore did not much like the skepticism in his tone, but she stood up, took quick, careful aim and fired.
In philosophy, the position that what cannot be proved by reason should not be believed. One of the main tasks of epistemology is to find an answer to the charge of some extreme skeptics that no knowledge is possible.

John at Power Line has an excellent post documenting just how a left-wing reporter can use neutral-sounding language to make a casual observer doubt the credibility of a leading global warming skeptic:
Sometimes media bias is blatant and grotesque; it can extend to flat
misrepresentations, use of fake documents, etc. Much more often, it is
relatively subtle, as reporters push their version of a story in small
ways, day after day. Here is a textbook example, via Power Line News.
Yesterday, in an interview with the Associated Press, one of the
world's leading weather experts, Dr. William Gray, blasted Al Gore for
perpetrating global warming hysteria. Since Dr. Gray is generally
recognized as the world's leading expert in the science of forecasting
hurricanes, this is news. But let's examine how the AP handled it in the article that resulted from their interview. The AP begins in a straightforward manner:
A top hurricane forecaster called Al Gore "a gross
alarmist" Friday for making an Oscar-winning documentary about global
"He's one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of
things. I think he's doing a great disservice and he doesn't know what
he's talking about," Dr. William Gray said in an interview with The
Associated Press at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans,
where he delivered the closing speech.
But watch where the story goes from there. First the subtle demeaning of the distinguished Dr. Gray:
Gray, an emeritus professor at the atmospheric science
department at Colorado State University, has long railed against the
theory that heat-trapping gases generated by human activity are causing
the world to warm.
Gray is implicitly depicted as a crank; he "rails." Note that the
hysterical and ill-informed Gore never "rails." Further, Gray "has long
railed," which suggests that, rather than being a consistent critic of
an unproven theory, he is a tiresome eccentric whose views have been
heard and discounted. More on this later. The AP continues:
Gray's statements came the same day the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change approved a report that concludes the world will
face dire consequences to food and water supplies, along with increased
flooding and other dramatic weather events, unless nations adapt to
climate change.
As we have noted elsewhere, the U.N.'s IPCC is a political body, not
a scientific one, and its findings have been subject to withering
criticism. But the AP implies that the U.N's report represents a
scientific consensus.

Physiology of a Hangover and Cures for Hangovers
Beyond Moderation: The Hangover
It happens to us all at some time or another, but with an expected frequency on New Year's Eve. We drink too much, and then we pay for it the next day. Are you hung up by your hangover?
Well, let me explain what is going on with your body and help you figure out ways to deal with the problems at hand.
Symptom: Dehydration
Your throat and mouth are dry due to dehydration, which is caused by the diuretic properties of alcohol. The dehydration also affects your muscles making them feel weak.
Cure: Drink plenty of water, all day long!
Symptom: Sour Stomach
The excessive alcohol irritates the lining of the stomach causing nausea and sour stomach. The inflammation delays digestion, which in turn, contributes to the feelings of nausea.
Cure: Take some Alka Seltzer or eat some mild foods.
Symptom: Irritability
Your liver gets backed up trying to metabolize all the alcohol so you might be experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia (that's a fancy term for low blood sugar), meaning you are highly irritable and moody.
Cure: Eat some food and drink some juice.
Symptom: Jangled Nerves
Your central nervous system becomes chemically over excited causing sensitivity to light, sound and touch.
Cure: Rest with an eye pillow and soothing music.
Symptom: Headache
Blood vessels in the brain dilate and that is what is causing that throbbing headache, which is only exacerbated by your dehydration mentioned above.
Cure: Take some OTC (over the counter) pain medication.
Sleepy and Sleepless: Your pituitary gland becomes confused and releases the wrong amounts of the hormones that regulate sleep. So while you may want to sleep it off, your sleep pattern is severely disrupted.
Cure: Try some Sleepytime Extra Tea fortified with Valerian root to help you sleep.
The only real cure for a hangover is time. Physical activity can help, too. Take a walk or jog and sweat a bit to help get the alcohol out of your blood. Fear not, the after effects of your partying should only linger for about 24 hours. Tomorrow is another day.

London isn't short of a food market or five. The most famous being Borough Market, and it's an absolute treat. Not cheap, of course, but any kind of venture into London Bridge wouldn't be the same without a quick wonder around the stalls.
But there's a way of tackling the market so you get the best out of it. Otherwise you'll have spent all of your money in ten minutes.
Walk around first. There's no rush! Wander around, look at all the tasty things. Unless there's something really special, don't buy anything until you've walked around once. You'll rarely miss out on something, and this way you'll get to check our prices. There's a lot of similar stuff so you can make sure you're getting the most with your money.
Try everything you can. Not every stall does samples, but you'll find many that do (and more if you ask nicely). You're at a food market, you do have to try stuff. You won't even need lunch if you go on a very generous day.
Don't go in the middle of the day. Whether you go early or late is up to you, but there are plus sides to both. Going early means that you get all of the good stuff. But, if you go late (especially on the final day of the week), you'll get some really great bargains. But you'll also get less choice. Whatever works, the middle of the day is not your friend. Unless you like hoards of hungry tourists.
Be clever with your carrying. Don't buy the heavy stuff first. Don't buy anything that needs chilling until you're just about to leave. Make sure you give your arms a break and you'll enjoy your trip much more. Besides, if you've got nothing that needs chilling or freezing, you can stop off in a pub on your way 'round.
Enjoy! Yes, there's lots of great stuff to see and try, but it'll be warm, and it'll be busy. Go with it, enjoy. Have fun and make sure you eat far more than you should. That's the whole reason for going, surely?
Of course, if after you've looked around and tasted a few morsels here and there, you might find the prospect of lugging a load of groceries home and cooking a bit overwhelming. You could instead book a table a great restaurant and have one of London's truly great chefs do all the hard work for you.
