The Stimulus Package Gets a Logo
First the stimulus got a website. Now it's getting a logo. Without a doubt, the Obama team has brought its branding expertise from the campaign trail to the White House. All projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) will be marked with this emblem.
Obama explained yesterday:
These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people — a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government — your government — is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.
If we couldn't identify how the money is spent, it might seem like $787 billion just vanished into thin air. I can't help but think the logo will also score Obama some political points. When you see people at work, the logo reminds you that Obama's stimulus plan is partially to thank!

If it is salt you need this is the product for you. I keep it in a cupboard close to the cooker to conceal its hideousness and season as I plate up. This is as salty as it gets. No one has complained of it being crunchy.

bizarrely.... too grainy!
This salt is just too coarse to be table salt. It's fine for cooking but if added on top of cooked food, it's so coarse it's crunchy. Table salt should be fine enough to add flavour but not texture!

does the job
I gave up with saxa as the metal base on the cartons left marks on my wooden work surfaces and the cartons were so often leaking on arrival. This carton is all cardboard and seems sturdy enough: no problems so now my regular.

Complicated people who have "given up" on finding effective psychotherapy find emotional relief in my office. I am a clinical psychologist in Pasadena and have been in private practice for nearly 20 years, providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples & families presenting with a broad range of difficulties. As a Pasadena therapist, I specialize in treating patients who have been successful in many areas of life, but they're still feeling incomplete, often struggling with deeply entrenched interpersonal & behavioral patterns. You may recognize yourself in one of these profiles:
• You're depressed, bothered by self-critical & self-shaming thoughts that eat away at your self-esteem.
• You're anxious all the time or especially in social situations, unable to relax and feel safe in this world.
• You're a couple that gets entangled easily-- you bicker often, you're feeling injured, misunderstood, enraged, or totally shut down.
• You're a super-achiever skilled at many things, yet feeling unfulfilled, alone, and sometimes, overwhelmed.
• You're compulsively using the internet or other screen devices; you're avoiding life and unable to stop yourself.
• You're having a hard time finding your voice, afraid to speak your mind for fear of upsetting others.
• You're a parent, ashamed of the way you respond to your children, or you're unable to set firm and kind limits.
• You're having work issues, feeling unmotivated & inefficient or you work too much & have difficulty saying "no" to the job.
• You're stuck creatively, unable to find your inspiration or afraid to trust your own instincts.
• You're sober & working the steps, but still struggling with feelings of restlessness, self-hate, shame & remorse.
• Your fertility or your physical health is on your mind--- you're feeling stressed and your body is letting you down.
• You are searching for spiritual meaning in life, or you're trying to leave a religion that feels damaging.
• Or maybe you're just feeling empty and are looking for something or someone to fill you up.
In treatment, the childhood roots of self-destructive thoughts & behaviors are explored, & patients learn to replace criticism & shame with kindness. Clients develop the ability to sit still with their emotions, rather than avoiding uncomfortable feelings through compulsive, "busy", or destructive behaviors. Through this process, depression & anxiety are reduced, while patients experience an increase in self-confidence, assertiveness, creativity, & tolerance for intimacy. The most frustrated couples learn to identify feelings & needs & communicate them without using attacking words; when "buttons" are pushed, they learn how to disentangle from each other and reconnect. And as your emotional connection to yourself & others improves, a sense of contentedness replaces your feelings of emptiness.
The latest medical research in the neuroscience and mind-body literature are incorporated into my clinical formulations, to ensure a proper understanding of my patients' struggles. In addition to my doctorate, I also have a master's degree in theology with a sensitivity to the spiritual issues that some patients bring into therapy. Please continue reading to learn more about my Pasadena CA psychologist services.

Which Name Should Doni's Family Choose for Their New Puppy?
She's a boxer cross they adopted from the Michigan Humane Society... she's such a lover! We're thrilled to have our new family member, but we can't decide on the name. A little help, please! We wanted to name her after a princess since our two rescue kitties are named after princesses Peach and Daisy from Mario Brothers... but "Ralph" snuck in here (I had an awesome female cat named "Ralph" growing up). Khaleesi is a reference to "Game of Thrones" and "Butters" is a derivative from "Princess Buttercup" in the movie "The Princess Bride."
I like Butters, my daughter likes Ralph and my son likes Khaleesi... My husband is pleading the fifth, but doesn't like Khaleesi. We are a mess. A little help over here. -- Doni

Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
A Model for the Development and Implementation of a National Plan for the Optimal Management of Early Spondyloarthritis: The Esperanza Program.

The design of a program in early spondyloarthritis (SpA) should have the following objectives: 1) to enable the establishment of early SpA units, 2) to facilitate early diagnosis; 3) to reduce the variability in SpA; and 4) to improve the knowledge and practical skills on SpA of general practitioners (GPs) and specialists.
The Esperanza Program includes: 1) a call for the creation of 25 early SpA units with specific requirements; 2) the establishment of a managed care plan with 8 measurable indicators; 3) a web-based platform which may function as an electronic medical record (EMR), and which permits evaluation, and facilitates networking and feed-back; and 4) educational initiatives.
Evaluation of the 25 implemented units covers from April 2008 until October 15th 2009. As of last evaluation, 1812 GPs were participating and 792 patients had been referred by their GPs. Indicators' values: 1) Over 90% of the patients have been attended within 30 days since their visit to PC; 2) the reliability of the referrals was 92%; 3) 53% of first visits had a duration of 30 to 60 minutes; 4) 28% of the patients had a diagnosis of SpA already in the first visit; 5) a report was issued in 25% of the medical visits; 6) 2% of the electronic reports issued were consulted by the GPs; 7) missing data in the EMR was 24%; and 8) an appropriate frequency of revisions was met in 84% of the patients. The patients attended were evenly distributed among sexes, and most of them were active workers. Their disease was active but spinal mobility and structural changes were preserved.
It is possible to implement a large scale program that is measurable and that helps to improve the management of early disease.

Volumes and buyer interest at the top end of the property market are starting to move, as the sharemarket rallies and interest rates remain at historical lows.
The S&P/ASX 200 surged through the 5000 point barrier last week and observers are expecting a kick in the prestige property market, particularly on Australia's east coast, as it is highly correlated with the sharemarket.
This is partly due to the residential market's dependence on the bonuses generated in the financial services industry and also because of the sharemarket being a barometer of confidence.
"There's no doubt the upper end is tied to the sharemarket, partly to share prices, and also to trading volumes," said Rod Cornish, head of real estate strategy at Macquarie Capital. "Both of those give an outlook for company profits and also to employment in the finance sector."
Mr Cornish said volumes at the top end of the property market would improve throughout 2013, provided the equities rally continued, but significant price movement would be more of a "2014-2016 kind of story".
"The correlation with the sharemarket does point to moderate (single digit) growth in top 10 per cent (median property) prices this year, which seems reasonable," he said.
Some are already looking to capitalise on an uptick at the top end of the market, which has suffered in the wake of the global financial crisis. They are also counting on more buyer interest from offshore.
In Sydney, billionaire property developer
Richardson & Wrench Mosman director Richard Simeon is marketing the site and expects upwards of $20 million. "In terms of scope, it's about having the opportunity to build one of Sydney's finest estates," Mr Simeon said. "What we've done is target the Chinese market."
He said Chinese buyers were behind much of his $87 million worth of sales made between last August and December. "The Chinese are buying in New York, London, and Sydney is another popular destination. They love massive water views, massive land and big houses."
There is also interest in more accessible luxury homes. Melbourne agent Rae Tomlinson of Marshall White Stonninghton sold a house in Malvern East last weekend for $2.32 million.
"We had four active bidders for a newly constructed home and its that sort of multiple bidding that points to a return of confidence," she said. "I don't think we're going to see dramatic price movement overnight, but I think we will see a firming of prices."
In Brisbane, Ray White agent Damon Warat sold a vacant block in upmarket Ascot for $2.3 million, the highest residential land sale in that suburb since 2009. "We had 70 groups on a vacant piece of land for an auction six days out from Christmas, on a Wednesday night," he said.
"I've got another property in Ascot that's been on the market for three weeks, and had over 130 inspections. Since last September there are signs of price improvement."
Mr Cornish said Perth prices were tied more to the resources sector than the sharemarket, and agent Chris Shellabear said prices at the top end were subdued. "In Perth we've had a long period of uplift and a long period of down draft, and now we're in a period of stabilisation."

"Encyclopedia Dubuque is the online authority for all things Dubuque, written by the people who know the city best."
Marshall Cohen—researcher and producer, CNN
It was named the WAPLES HOUSE until around 1854 when Burton & Finlay enlarged the building to eighty rooms and renamed it the Julien House. In 1867 ownership changed from Alexander YOUNG to W. W. WOODWORTH. In 1873 an addition was made which resulted in the building having a frontage of 143-feet on Second Street with 45-feet on Iowa.
The hotel served as the "Eldorado of the lame, the halt, and the blind" on two occasions around 1875. The Dubuque Herald stated that the afflicted were coming from miles around to receive the services of surgeons from Indianapolis. (2) The physicians were part of the National Surgical Institute of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Institute made a specialty of surgical cases; paralysis; deformities of the face, spine and limbs; diseased joints, diseased eyes; catarrh, private diseases, piles, fistula, etc. (3)

After scoring a pair of first-half goals to forge a lead, the Cambridge Bobcats booted home an insurance goal in the second half for a 3-0 shutout of the visiting Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans Bishops Tuesday at the campus soccer field.
At about the 10 minute mark into the first half, Cody Engstrom took an assist from Tony Carpenetti and put the 'Cats in front for good. About 20 minutes into the half, Seth Warden found the back of the net off an assist from Cody Engstrom to spot Cambridge (7-5-3) to a 2-0 halftime advantage.
Most of the second half was a defensive struggle until Eric Fox booted home a goal in the last five minutes of play on a 27-28 foot free kick to provide the 3-0 shutout.
"We are getting better and better as we get closer to the tournament," Cambridge coach Gheorge Radu said. "I'm pleased with how they played, but we still have some tune up that is necessary. The opportunities were there to score more goals tonight, but we missed some shots which we can't afford to due in the tournament."
The Bobcats tallied 25 shots on goal, while limiting the Bishops to just eight shots. Cambridge goal keeper Kevin Scrudders had eight saves to preserve the shutout. Rosecrans goalie Wyatt Lewis had 22 saves while giving up the three goals.
NEXT -- Cambridge hosts Maysville Thursday beginning at 5 p.m.

Rosecrans held a 12-4 edge in shots on goal in the contest, with CHS keeper Liz Mitchell finishing with 11 saves. Anna Acto-Korn chalked up four saves for Rosecrans.

52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs
Spangdahlem AFB, Germany (AFNS) Jun 17, 2008
There are not many Airmen with two stripes who have a job that gives them the authority to halt flying operations across the entire installation.
This is a responsibility Airman 1st Class Darren Albrecht does not take lightly. The 52nd Logistics Readiness Squadron fuel laboratory technician here is responsible for testing all of the Deparent of Defense and NATO fuel used on base in government aircraft and vehicles.
He spends his days gathering fuel samples and running each one through a series of tests. The tests are designed to check for impurities, water, conductivity and other flaws in a room where everything from the door and radio to beakers and microscope are securely grounded.
"I am responsible for making sure that all of the pilots and the aircraft have the best fuel possible," Airman Albrecht said.
Ironically, his father does the same job at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. When he enlisted in the Air Force, this was the only job that Airman Albrecht wanted.
After spending six weeks at Sheppard AFB, Texas, to learn about the fuels career field, Airman Albrecht then completed a second technical school at Fort Lee Va., were he learned how to test fuel in a laboratory.
Only the top Airmen are selected for the laboratory school, said Tech. Sgt. John Rowland, the 52nd LRS fuels laboratory superintendent. "Only the Airmen who perform with a high attention to detail and accuracy are qualified for this position"
The fuel that comes through Airman Albrecht's laboratory is run through about 10 tests. If he finds a questionable batch of fuel, he reruns his tests. If the results are bad again, he contacts his supervisor to confirm his findings. The discovery of a bad fuel shipment would lead to a complete grounding of aircraft.
Because bad fuel can lead to serious aircraft problems, this is a job that the laboratory Airmen take very seriously.
"We are always out there taking samples," Sergeant Rowland said. "We have to pay a lot of attention to detail. Since we have the ability to stop operations on base, we have to be 100 percent accurate on fuel quality analysis."
The biggest challenge of the job is trying not to get complacent, Airman Albrecht said.
"When you are doing the same test over and over again, if you do something wrong, it could get messed up," he said.
In the event of an aircraft accident, fuels technicians are one of the first responders to the scene.
"We have to get a fuel sample from the plane to determine if it was the cause of the accident," Sergeant Rowland said.
As a testament to their processes of testing and testing again, there has never been an aircraft accident at Spangdahlem Air Base that was caused from bad fuel, Airman Albrecht said.

Study of Chimps Strongly Backs Salt's Link to High Blood Pressure
By HAROLD M. SCHMECK Jr.
Published: October 3, 1995
VITAL to life and sought worldwide for its taste, common salt has played a large role in history because of its scarcity in many times and places. Salt has figured in wars, the North African slave trade and an onerous tax in prerevolutionary France. But today salt is cheap and plentiful. Many experts say, in fact, that its wide use is largely responsible for an epidemic of high blood pressure and many resulting deaths from heart disease in the United States and other countries.
A vast amount of data supports this view. But blaming salt for high blood pressure, or hypertension, in the general population has been controversial, even described by some as a myth.
Indeed, the evidence has many ambiguities. Some studies have shown little connection between salt consumption and blood pressure. In populations where salt is copious in the diet, high blood pressure is often common, but not everyone who wields the salt shaker with a heavy hand develops the dangerous condition. Furthermore, in those who do, other factors usually cloud the issue: the stresses of modern life, a host of other foods taken in too large or too small amounts, lack of exercise, and too much alcohol and cigarette smoking. How can the role of salt alone be teased out of the complexities of human diet and behavior?
Research that may go far toward doing just that has been completed by an international team. Working with chimpanzees in Africa, the scientists found that adding salt to the animals' diet sent their blood pressure up significantly. When salt was removed, blood pressure came back down. The study, led by Dr. Derek Denton of the Howard Florey Institute of Experimental Physiology and Medicine at the University of Melbourne in Australia, was reported in the October issue of the journal Nature Medicine.
A commentary in the journal by specialists on hypertension, including Dr. Jeremiah Stamler and Dr. Rose Stamler of Northwestern University Medical School, who are husband and wife, called the new data seminal. They said the research adds "significantly to the large body of knowledge about human salt intake" and effects on blood pressure. Common salt is sodium chloride, the compound principally under indictment.
Dr. Jeffrey A. Cutler, director of the clinical applications and prevention program of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Md., said the study was "very impressive" and would have been impossible to duplicate in humans. He added that the effects of salt in the diet is a "topic that needs continued clarification in a lot of people's minds."
Dr. Denton, an internationally known authority on the biological role of salt, believes the human hunger for it arose early in hominid development as human ancestors evolved in salt-poor interior regions of Africa. Evolving where salt was scarce, humans developed a strong tendency to feast on it when opportunities arose. Today in some people, the feasting is continual, habitual and, many experts say, dangerous.
Dr. Denton was founding director of the Florey institute and today he has emeritus status there. For years he has been concerned with efforts to clarify salt's role in human high blood pressure.
A definitive answer might be sought by studying an isolated, primitive society where natural diet has very little salt and by offering some of its members an extra salt ration over a long period of time. But that experiment would raise serious ethical questions. Once gripped by the salt habit, the people might be unable to give up dangerously excessive use.
Natural experiments in many parts of the world have already occurred as isolated jungle or farming communities have been introduced to civilization. Such people, living on a largely vegetarian diet with salt a rarity, have little or no high blood pressure. They show no tendency to increase blood pressure with age as is common in industrialized countries.
But these people often develop hypertension when they move to cities and adopt high-salt diets. While this evidence is often used to indict salt, it is also easy to dispute. The migrants from low-salt conditions are also moving to radically new environments, exposing themselves to novel stresses and many dietary changes in addition to extra salt. Which factors are the guilty ones?
Dr. Denton's problem was to find a situation in which nothing at all but long-term salt consumption was changed. He and his colleagues turned to Africa and chimpanzees, the animal species that is by far the closest biologically to humans. At the International Center for Medical Research in Franceville, Gabon, the scientists chose 26 adult chimpanzees who were living comfortably on a diet of mostly fruits and vegetables in long-established groups. The animals had already learned to cope with the stresses of their lives. Adding salt to their diet would involve no other change.
The normal diet for chimpanzees at the research center included very little salt, but large amounts of potassium, protein, vitamins and calcium. Some opponents of the salt hypothesis have argued that dietary shortage of potassium or calcium is the culprit in high blood pressure.

Banks are scaling back loans through unaffiliated consumer credit firms that are not allowed to access their databases of gangsters and other antisocial elements.
The moves follow recent revelations that Mizuho Bank, a unit of Mizuho Financial Group Inc, had extended loans to gangsters via its tie-up with consumer credit affiliate Orient Corp. and left the problem unattended for more than two years.
As of Friday, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, a unit of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings Inc., had stopped accepting new applications for such tie-up loans, except via subsidiary Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Panasonic Finance Co.
Over the last few years, the unit has been making efforts to strengthen its loan-screening system to shut out underworld elements partly by sharing the parent bank's database.
Meanwhile, the trust bank halted new tie-up loans through consumer credit firms outside the Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings group because they can't access its database and are thus unable to fully check loan applications.
While some regional banks had already canceled existing contracts on loans extended in tie-ups with Orient and other consumer credit firms or stopped handling new such loans, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank is believed to be the first major bank to curb tie-up loans.
In such tie-up loans, banks extend loans after applications are screened by consumer credit companies. The scheme lets consumer credit firms earn loan guarantee commissions while banks can up loans to individuals.
According to the Japan Consumer Credit Association, the amount of new tie-up consumer loans contracted in 2011 increased 5 percent from the previous year to ¥2.2 trillion.
Concerns are growing that the financial bases of small and independent consumer credit firms could be hit hard if banks keep curbing tie-up loan operations.

I have never been much of a country music fan. Frankly, with a few exceptions, I find almost ALL pop-culture music idiotic. That includes country music. Before my conversion, I was an Allman Brothers/Marshall Tucker/CCR/ type. Admittedly, some of the Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker tunes have a distinctive "country flavor" to them, but more specifically were classified in the "Southern Rock" genre, "Southern" being the operative word here. Those days are far behind me now, as my real love is now for Gospel Bluegrass--American music at its purest. But I have always been a fan of Bluegrass--even as a teenager, sneaking into my first Bluegrass concert (Orange Blossom Park in Dooms, Virginia - what?! never heard of it?) when I was just 15, while many of my peers were weirding out at Alice Cooper concerts.
That being said, I've recently come to admire some of the music of country music legend Alan Jackson. I don't care for his honky-tonk ditties as those types of songs bring back unpleasant memories--at least the ones I can remember. However, Jackson's lyric writing abilities are, in my opinion, poetic and profound, if I may be so dramatic. Consider his latest single, "Small Town Southern Man."
Every stanza brims with simple, yet beautiful, subtle (and not so subtle) meaning. As reviewer Chet Flippo has opined about this song:
"There is no other word than 'grace' to mark the skillful writing and economy of words in lines such as this: 'And he bowed his head to Jesus/And he stood for Uncle Sam/And he only loved one woman/He was always proud of what he had/He said his greatest contribution/Is the ones you leave behind/Raised on the ways and gentle kindness/Of a small town Southern man.' "
No need to expound on the obvious, but I will anyway. Many "small town southern men" still "bow their heads to Jesus and stand for Uncle Sam." The South is still the Nation's Bible Belt and still sends more men--proportionally--to the armed forces.
As I write this, I realize many will roll their eyes as they condescend such sentiments. "Cornball, redneck hokum, 4 wheel drive, shotgun-totin', rural backwoods simpletons, etc, etc." I'm immune to such elitist attitudes--it used to make me angry. Now it just bores me.
Flippo continues:
"In some ways, Jackson has become the Ernest Hemingway of country music. In writing, that is. Not necessarily in lifestyle. At Hemingway's best, he told stories very simply, getting directly to the point. He knew his subject inside out, whether it was bullfighting or deep-sea fishing and could brilliantly tell a vivid story about it in as few words as needed. Similarly, Jackson, has staked out his turf and can write and sing about it in a simple and direct style."
Here are the complete lyrics to this soon to be classic Southern/Country theme song:
Born the middle son of a farmer
And a small town Southern man
Like his daddy's daddy before him
Brought up workin' on the land
Fell in love with a small town woman
And they married up and settled down
Natural way of life if you're lucky
For a small town Southern man
First there came four pretty daughters
For this small town Southern man
Then a few years later came another
A boy, he wasn't planned
Seven people livin' all together
In a house built with his own hands
Little words with love and understandin'
From a small town Southern man
And he bowed his head to Jesus
And he stood for Uncle Sam
And he only loved one woman
(He) was always proud of what he had
He said his greatest contribution
Is the ones you leave behind
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
Of a small town Southern man
(Raised on the ways and gentle kindness)
(Of a small town Southern man)
Callous hands told the story
For this small town Southern man
He gave it all to keep it all together
And keep his family on his land
Like his daddy, years wore out his body
Made it hard just to walk and stand
You can break the back
But you can't break the spirit
Of a small town Southern man
(Repeat Chorus)
Finally death came callin'
For this small town Southern man
He said it's alright 'cause I see angels
And they got me by the hand
Don't you cry, and don't you worry
I'm blessed, and I know I am
'Cause God has a place in Heaven
For a small town Southern man
(Repeat Chorus)
The song is rich with rural, Southern themes. The upbeat melody combined with the sawing fiddles sets the song's mood perfectly. For those of us who grew up in the South, attached to a local church, a close-knit family whose connection to the land is generational, while immersed in the region's hard-core patriotism, it would be hard to imagine a song better suited to voice these sentiments: "Son of a farmer", - "daddy's daddy", - "working on the land", - "married up and settled down", - "pretty daughters", - "a house built with his own hands", - "keep his family on his land", -"bowed his head to Jesus", - these simple, yet profound words paint rich images for many Southerners. Its very easy for us to relate and grow wistful about the images conjured up by Jackson's moving lyrics. I was born in a small Southern town. I have four pretty daughters. I built (along with the only woman I ever loved) the house in which we live. I'm the great-grandson of farmers. I am patriotic. And I've bowed my head to Jesus.
It is these cultural sentiments and values which seem to be under constant ridicule and attack in modern America. Yet, strangely, in many ways, these sentiments remain respected and honored; at least outside of academia and Hollywood. And it is these same values that I strive daily to pass on to my children and grandchildren believing, as Alan Jackson does, that the "greatest contribution is the ones you leave behind."

Human ancestors were using stone tools and eating meat nearly a million years earlier than previously documented, according to a new study. Scientists led by Zeresenay Alemseged of the California Academy of Sciences unearthed two fossilized animal bones in Ethiopia bearing what they said is clear evidence of butchering. The roughly 3.4 million-year-old bones are the first evidence that the ancestral species Australopithecus afarensis, to which the famed "Lucy" fossil belonged, used stone tools and ate meat, said the researchers. "Lucy," discovered in 1974, was for many years known as the most complete skeleton of a pre-human ancestor of humans. The animal bones, described in the Aug. 12 issue of the research journal Nature, bear marks that scientists said indicate meat-carving and banging to break out the marow. This "dramatically shifts the known timeframe of a game-changing behavior for our ancestors," said Alemseged, curator of anthropology at the California Academy. "Tool use fundamentally altered the way our early ancestors interacted with nature, allowing them to eat new types of food and exploit new territories. It also led to tool making…. This find will definitely force us to revise our text books on human evolution, since it pushes the evidence for tool use and meat eating in our family back by nearly a million years." Until now, the oldest known evidence of butchering with stone tools came from Bouri, Ethiopia, where cut-marked bones were dated to about 2.5 million years ago. The oldest known stone tools, dated to around the same time, were found at nearby Gona, Ethiopia. The newfound bones turned up at Dikika, Ethiopia, only about 200 meters (yards) from where Alemseged's team discovered the fossil "Selam" in 2000. Widely dubbed "Lucy's Daughter," Selam is believed to be a young Australopithecus afarensis girl who lived about 3.3 million years ago and now represents the most complete skeleton of a human ancestor known. "After a decade of studying Selam's remains and searching for additional clues about her life, we can now add a significant new detail," Alemseged said. "It is very likely that Selam carried stone flakes and helped members of her family as they butchered animal remains." No other species of human ancestors lived in this part of Africa at the time, he added. "With stone tools in hand to quickly pull off flesh and break open bones, animal carcasses would have become a more attractive source of food," said archaeologist Shannon McPherron of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, a member of the Dikika Research Project with Alemseged. "This type of behavior sent us down a path that later would lead to two of the defining features of our species—carnivory and tool manufacture and use." To estimate the bones' age, project geologist Jonathan Wynn relied on the fact that they lay sandwiched between two layers of volcanic deposits that had already been "securely" dated, he said. Both the bones came from mammals. One is described as a rib fragment from a cow-sized mammal, and the other as a femur shaft fragment from a goat-sized mammal. Both bones bear cuts, scrapes and hitting marks, researchers said. Two analyses showed that the marks were made before the bones fossilized; the marks were consistent with stone tool use rather than biting, the investigators added. One mark was even determined to contain a tiny, embedded bit of rock apparently left behind from the hacking. Investigators said it wasn't clear whether members of Lucy's species made or simply found their tools. Regardless, "we now have a greater understanding of the selective forces that were responsible for shaping the early phases of human history," said Alemseged. "Once our ancestors started using stone tools to help them scavenge from large carcasses, they opened themselves up to risky competition with other carnivores, which would likely have required them to engage in an unprecedented level of teamwork."

Terrestrial photos are taken on the ground, while aerial photos are
taken from a platform in the air. Aerial photographs may be either vertical
or oblique. Vertical photographs can be truly vertical, or slightly tilted
(less than 3o from the vertical). Most aerial photos are tilted
to some degree. Therefore, the use of the term vertical photographs
in this chapter assumes truly vertical photographs, while in reality they
might be tilted up to 3o. Oblique aerial photos are photographs
purposely taken with an angle between 3 and 90o from the vertical.
They can be low oblique (if the horizon is not visible) or high
oblique (if the horizon is visible) (Figure 6.2, Low oblique versus
high oblique aerial photographs). Terrestrial photos are usually oblique
or horizontal, where the axis of the camera is tilted about 90o
form the vertical.
Whether they are vertical or oblique, aerial photographs may be obtained in various formats and sizes depending on the purpose and the type of application they are used for. The format of most aerial photographs is square and sometimes rectangular depending on the camera but the most common format is 23 by 23 centimeters (9 by 9 inches). Vertical and oblique aerial photographs also have advantages over one another in respect to their usage.
The basic geometry of a vertical aerial photograph is illustrated in
figure 6.3. Incoming light rays from objects on the ground pass through
the camera lens before they are imaged on the film in the focal plane.
The distance between the lens and the focal plane is termed focallength.
The x coordinate axis is arbitrarily assigned to the imaginary flight
line direction on the photograph and the y-axis is assigned to a
line that is perpendicular to the x-axis. These two axes usually
correspond to the lines connecting the opposite fiducial marks recorded
on each side of the print (i.e., positive image).
The photocoordinate origin, o, is considered to be the intersection of the two lines joining the fiducial marks and, therefore, can be assumed to coincide exactly with the physical center (i.e., the geometric center) of the photograph, called principal point. Points to the east side of y-axis have positive x coordinates and points to the west side have negative x coordinates. Similarly, points north of the x-axis have positive y coordinates and points south of the x-axis have negative y coordinates.

Does anyone know if there are any official Apple stores anywhere closer to Thailand than Hong Kong or Australia?
I need to get my screen repaired and it seems they're few and far between over here.
I have a fault with the screen that I've already spoken to Apple about and they're happy to exchange it, although I don't know how easy of a process it'll be to go through with a reseller.
If anyone has any suggestions of where to go to I'd be ever so grateful. If it's not as simple a task to go through with a reseller then I guess I'll have to wait until visiting Australia.
I suppose you already checked http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ out? Cheers
I had a look here and I have also found several resellers that offer repairs, but I would rather deal directly with Apple.
Guess I'm going to have to wait until I'm in Melbourne or something.
In asia they do repairs through premium Apple resellers.
In the past (about 6 years ago) we got a mac repaired in Bangkok that had crashed and was still under warranty. We used the following authorised service center:http://www.maccenter.co.th/map.html
They still had to send to Singapore though to fix it – took about 2 weeks. Also had one repaired directly in Singapore, which took about 3 days.
Thanks guys. Think I'll just have to wait to get to an Apple store so I can deal with them directly
Since I know you are returning to Bangkok soon; Here you have plenty of official places of Apple ( apart from the many knockout ones) Ill give you a couple to start with:
-Take the BTS to Asok station, go downstairs to the MRT and take it to Phraram 9 Station. Take the exit that says "fortune tower" Once outside is your building on your righhand side. Go to the 3rd floor and follow the corridors when you get off the stairs to your left. Continue the corridor and pass the multiple stores of pirate programs,cd's and movies (if your interested in that each copy costs around 300thb) and you will get to a round like hall full of computer stores. Apple shop is right beneath the escalator.
-Take the BTS to Siam Station, and go to exit 2 to Siam Paragon, in there take the escalators to the 3rd floor, and in your far left you will see iStudio Store ( next to Kinokuniya book store)
In Hong Kong indeed. Prices are sweet

URBANA, Ill. — A local man was indicted Wednesday for sexually exploiting a minor and possessing child pornography, following an investigation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Champaign, Ill., police department.
A federal grand jury returned an indictment March 7 charging Michael L. Denight, 57, of Mahomet, Ill., with six counts of sexually exploiting a minor and one count of possessing child pornography. The indictment also seeks criminal forfeiture of Denight's extensive inventory of computer, camera and related equipment.
The indictment alleges that for each of the six counts of sexually exploiting a minor, Denight produced images of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The indictment alleges that Denight committed the offenses in Mahomet during various time periods between 2000 and 2005. The indictment further alleges that Denight possessed child pornography on or about Feb. 16, 2012.
If convicted, the statutory penalty for each count of sexually exploiting a minor is a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and up to 30 years in prison. For possessing child pornography, the penalty is a maximum of 10 years in prison. The defendant may also be ordered to remain under supervised release for life following any term of imprisonment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Elly Peirson, Central District of Illinois, is prosecuting the case, with the cooperation of Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz.
Denight was previously charged in a federal criminal complaint filed on Feb. 17. On Feb. 24, U.S. Magistrate Judge David G. Bernthal ordered Denight to remain detained in U.S. Marshals Service custody.
Members of the public are reminded that an indictment is merely an accusation; the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
As part of Operation Predator, HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or its online tip form. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs! Big buuuuuuuuuuuugs! PC bugs that aren't actual PC bugs but bugs that want to kill you buuuuuuuuugs!
Ahem – sorry about that.
Capcom has announced that Lost Planet 2 will be shipping to PCs on October 15. Featuring DirectX 11 and DirectX 9 support, Lost Planet 2 will not only support DX11 features like smoke with "lifelike volume and depth, water surfaces react realistically to player interaction and bullets" and more detailed bosses, but also support for NVIDIA 3D Vision and 3D Vision Surround technologies.
To see if your rig is up to snuff, or to see just how good you can get it to look, Capcom and NVIDIA have released a preview of Lost Planet 2 that contains both a gameplay test and DirectX 11 benchmark mode.
The preview includes:
Test A
The primary purpose of Test A is to give an indication of typical game play performance of the PC running Lost Planet 2. (i.e. if you can run Mode A smoothly, the game will be playable at a similar condition). In this test, the character's motion is randomized to give a slightly different outcome each time.
Test B
The primary purpose of Test B is to push the PC to its limits and to evaluate the maximum performance of the PC. It utilizes many functions of Direct X11 resulting in a very performance-orientated, very demanding benchmark mode.

If you've read this blog for any amount of time, you know that my two year old daughter was diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome, and that I found great resources from the folks behind the website Down Syndrome Pregnancy.
This week, a purchase from Sevenly provides a book that provides critical information to families receiving a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. With your support, families can receive this book, which serves as a lifeline for many parents.
Trust me. I know.
Sevenly is an awesome company that donates profits each week to a different organization or cause, and this week, Lettercase (the publisher of the book) is benefitting from their good work.
"Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis" provides real and up to date information about a Down syndrome diagnosis. A majority of women with a pre-natal diagnosis say that they did not receive the information to understand what a diagnosis really means for their family or their baby. I am happy to be in the minority, but with more prenatal tests available, many women will be receiving that phone call.
"Your baby has Down syndrome."
Go check out Sevenly. Buy something cute. Help a family gain balanced information in English or Spanish.

St. Croix
My wife's family goes to Taylors Falls, MN every year for a weekend in October. This year we are going with and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience fishing the St. Croix near Taylors Falls? Or any tips for fishing the St. Croix in general?
Thanks, Cabot
Re: St. Croix
I have a buddy that fishes it somewhat often for smallmouth and walleye but usually higher up than Taylors Falls. I'm sure it would be just as good around there you just have to find the spots. Don't go where the cliff jumpers go, you probably won't see much.

I was thumbing through the Barbecue Bible earlier this morning and ran across page 231, Spicy Chorizos...
The recipe called for 2.5 lbs of pork, but my boston butt was a 4.5 pounder. After deboning it, I figure it was about 4 lbs. So I had to do some calculating to get the proportions right for the ingredients. Wow, math was much easier for me when I was a kid!
Here's the butt:
Minus the bone:
Ingredients ready to go in with the ground pork:
Mixed together with the KitchenAide:
Linked up with Natural Hog Casings:
My mancave getting ready for action!!
Grilled indirectly with some Wicked Good Charcoal...
Grilled up some sesame buns and red onions to go with the Spicy Chorizos. My wife made an Arugula salad with White Balsamic for the side.
The flavor of the chorizos were AWESOME!!! However, they were on the dry side. I either cooked them too long, or more fat was needed. I'll have to use a instant read thermometer the next time I grill some up. I have a ton of them in the freezer after whipping up this batch, so I guess I'll know in the near future. All in all though, great meal!

"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" Drops New Trailer: Watch Here!
Giving moviegoers a little extra thrill this holiday season, Paramount Pictures has just unveiled a new teaser trailer for "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."
And given the star-studded cast of Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, Ray Stevenson, and Adrianne Palicki, there's little doubt this flick is going to be fabulous.
Per the synopsis, "This time around the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence."
Directed by Jon Chu and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Brian Goldner, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" is slated to hit theaters on March 29th.

Online Assessment
Ever wish you could be at every student's desk at the same time?
We've researched online assessment since the turn of the (21st) century.
It's every teacher's dream – to be able to work one-on-one with all students in a class. Or to know instantly how all students are doing at learning a topic. With technology-based assessment and support, these are very possible today.
With our technology, you can blend assessment directly into your lesson – say goodbye to lost worksheets and photocopied supplementary materials. And with embedded assessments, you'll receive immediate reports about how students are doing, with many answers automatically graded.
But that's just the beginning.
Students using models and simulations can demonstrate learning in ways that reach far beyond simple open responses and multiple choice answers. Using our software, students can answer with an annotated image of a model or simulation. Or show their knowledge by designing and conducting a virtual experiment.
For the past decade, we've been showing that tracking student actions can transform simple interactive explorations into rich, automated performance assessments. And ongoing research is breaking new ground showing the power of formative assessment technology too.
Our active projects are researching how you can
- Use simulations to measure inquiry learning directly
- Capture real-time student responses to transform teaching and learning
- Build your own online embedded assessments – and include simulations and data collection
But don't just take our word for it.

Ok Steelers fans…here's another one to keep an eye on for "pattern of behavior". Hill and Vincent Jackson should both be getting 4 games off. If not it is blatant unfairness by the Commish. Especially as the NFL recently announced a partnership with MADD. How the eff can they let Jackson off clean with no suspension?

i think carroll will turn the guy around,if he can it would def be worth it,guy is a heck of a lb,with curry,hill,tutupu,[even if hill is only 12 games],could develope into a very good lb corps,i think they gotta keep him and take the chance he changes his attitude

The Barnyard
A salesman is pressing a farmer about the finer points of his new combine when he suddenly notices one of the roosters in the farmer's yard.
The rooster is wearing a shirt, and pants with suspenders. It's all he can do to not gasp.
"What the hell is that all about?" he asks the farmer.
"A year or two ago, we had a fire in the chicken coop," the farmer explains. "That rooster stayed in there until all the hens could get out, and he ended up with all his feathers burned off. Well, the wife made him some clothes to keep him warm."
"That's amazing," the salesman said. "But you have to admit, it looks kinda funny."
"That ain't nothin'," the farmer says. "You should see him try to hold down a hen with one foot and get his pants down with the other."

Proposed Legislation
Our schools are broken. And many parents across the country are forced to send their kids to schools they know are failing. We want to end that by putting parents in charge of the money spent to educate their children. This will force K-12 schools to compete for students, just as colleges and universities do today. Failing schools will improve or go out of the business. And competition will provide an incentive for new schools that deliver a good education.
To accomplish this goal, End The Education Plantation is proposing a federal law that does two things:
- Requires states to fund parents, not school districts. We don't want to dictate how the states implement this. Just that they do it. We want to use the power of the federal purse strings to force states to fund students, not school districts.
- Sets a floor of at least 95% of the average total per-pupil spending by district or state that would be controlled by parents.

TEL AVIV (Oct. 25)
Two Palestinian terrorists were sentenced today by a military tribunal in Lod to life sentences on 13 charges stemming from their participation in the coastal raid in March, 1978 in which 34 civilians were murdered and 73 injured.
Haled Housein, 22, and Ibrahim Fuad, 19, the only two survivors of the 11-member terrorist group, had been convicted on 10 charges of firing at people, two of placing and detonating explosives and one of being members of a hostile organization. In finding them guilty, the tribunal said they had violated not only the law but also morality in firing at unarmed women and children and that they had infiltrated into Israel not to take hostages but to kill.
The courtroom was packed with relatives of victims of the raid on Israel's main coastal high way which began when the terrorists landed on a beach near Kibbutz Maagen Michael and encountered on American nature photographer. Goil Rubin of New York. After killing her, the gang hijacked a bus full of passengers and, in a shootout with police north of Tel Aviv, set the bus afire and threw hand grenades at the passengers.
Aharon Alpern, the tribunal president, said the tribunal did not impose the death penalty on the two terrorists because one of them was under 18 wren the attack took place and the age of the other could not be established positively.

John Kitzhaber. The two CCC students are among 39 outstanding scholars from Oregon community colleges honored for both academic and personal achievements. These students were selected from the 380,000 students attending the state's 17 community colleges. For the past 21 years, two students from each of the state's community colleges have been honored as Outstanding Community College Scholars in an event sponsored by the Oregon Community College Association (OCCA). The student scholars will receive a scholarship valued at $1,000 or more from one of 19 colleges and universities in Oregon. Kedev, 19, of Clackamas is involved in student government at CCC. Her affiliation with the college started while she was in high school at Clackamas Middle College and began taking college courses at CCC. She earned her associate's degree while finishing high school.

Yes I'm feeling a bit like the woman in the picture – it's 3 weeks to Christmas Day and ummmm….. I have brought hardly any presents my cards although brought (Yes I did do my 10 things last week) haven't been written yet and there is a bubble of panic starting to form at the pit of my stomach. So here this weeks plan of action for Christmas to run smoothly this year.
Christmas Planning 3 weeks to go
- Write your Christmas Cards to be posted – my husband and I spend an evening writing the cards. I write the cards, he writes the enevlopes and sticks on the stamps we then post them with the kids the next day.
- Now write your Christmas Cards to be hand delivered – the following evening we write the cards by hand and then at the next weekend take a walk with the kids at dusk to post them to our neighbours and friends within walking distance looking at the lights as we go.
- Get your Christmas Presents sorted – buy the main presents at least and if you can wrap as soon as you get home. I like to be organised to some degree and when the presents are for relatives that we will see before Christmas I put those presents in a bag with a post-it note on it and keep them all together.
- Get your rough ideas for meals over the festive period list that you wrote last week and this week we are going to start to firm this up and make some shopping lists. Start off with the days when you won't leave the house – for us that is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day (yes it's a strange day that we have in the UK that is the day after Christmas Day) and plan what you will eat those days now write a shopping list.
- Head to the shops and buy from your food shopping list anything that will last – chocolates, nuts, basics for the freezer and sauces that you may not want to make yourself.
- If you have guests coming then get out bed linen, towels that they will use and wash them, I love tumble drying them as well as then they are extra soft and fluffy and especially for guests I try and iron the sheets. I then store them in the laundry cupboard with a spritz of laundry spray and they are sorted for when guests arrive.
Activities for the kids to do this week
Join us each day as we celebrate counting down to Christmas on our facebook page with a quick craft for kids to form a picture advent over the festive period
24 amazing bloggers are getting together again this year for a Creative Christmas Countdown, organized by Alissa from Creative with Kids and Maggy at Red Ted Art – starting over on Red Ted Art, A Mom with a Lesson Plan, The Imagination Tree and today Angelique Felix.com each day we are sharing something creative and family friendly fun to do with your kids.
If you are looking for even more ideas then Tuesday Tots is already filled with over 50 ideas this morning.

Hey Reigh, I think the only group that regularly meets on Sunday in the craft area is Spacebridge. ĀAnd while we are big in stature (or maybe just ego ^_^) I think we will be able to make room ^_^.

Although I have to say, this is a shared space and while the planned events look slim for Sunday we could get a congress of clothiers or aĀmischiefĀof makers who all come in to work on their projects. ĀSo there is no guarantee that things will not be tight.

Hey Reigh,

 Apart from what's on the calendar now, someone was talking about
 having a PyPy hackathon at the space, but I think that would take
 place in a classroom, rather than the craft area. I'd mail
 email@example.com (oh wait I just did!) to double check.

 Don't forget to ask your attendees to make a donation to the space.
 Here's a preamble we encourage people to read out before they start:

 Ā ĀNoisebridge is a space open to anyone interested in the creative
 uses of technology. You and anyone else are free to use the space and
 most of its contents at any time. Please introduce yourself to the
 person who lets you in.

 Ā ĀNoisebridge is inspired by its fellow hackerspaces all around the
 world, from Alberta to Zurich. If you'd like to know more about how we
 work, and what we offer, visit the website at

 Ā ĀNoisebridge is solely supported by individual donations by its
 users. You can donate through PayPal on our site or in the donation
 bins at the front of the space If you use Noisebridge regularly, set
 up a regular donation. A $10-$40 monthly subscription is a great way
 to ensure Noisebridge stays around. You can also become a member,
 which means you can take part in decisions about Noisebridge -- but
 you don't have to be one to use our space.

 Ā ĀYou can also keep Noisebridge running by helping out in the space.
 Noisebridge is a "do-ocracy": if you think something needs improving
 or fixing, feel free to go ahead and do it.

Noah LeFevre Appointed Senior Associate Director of Athletics
"I am very pleased to be joining such a talented group of coaches and staff members," LeFevre said. "The rich tradition and history of athletics at Manhattan College combined with the institution's dedication to moving the program forward makes the College an ideal place to be. I am excited to be part of the program."
While at Brockport, LeFevre oversaw the day-to-day operations of a Division III athletic program that consisted of 23 sports and over 625 student-athletes. Under his leadership, Brockport launched a new athletic website, embarked upon an athletic department rebranding initiative, expanded the department's academic support staff, and renovated three separate facilities with private funding. In addition, he revamped the Golden Eagle Society, the fundraising arm of the Brockport athletic department, resulting in increased giving and alumni relations.
He was also responsible for Brockport's 12 athletic facilities, including Eunice Kennedy Shriver Stadium, one of the largest on-campus sporting venues in Division III. LeFevre played a pivotal role in renaming that facility, which was previously known as Special Olympics Stadium, in September 2010, as well as the Jim & John Vlogianitis Gymnasium after a substantial gift by the two former Brockport basketball standouts that was used to renovate the school's main gym.
"We are extremely fortunate to add Noah to Manhattan College," Byrnes said. "He has unique experiences that will help the College immediately and for years to come. He is particularly strong in facilities management, athletic renovations, fundraising and capital planning-all areas noted in the College's strategic plan. Noah is a great fit for Manhattan."
Prior to his time at Brockport, LeFevre was an Associate Athletic Director at New York University, where he was responsible for athletic department marketing, facilities, revenue generation and capital planning. LeFevre was also the project manager for the internal design construction of NYU's Palladium Athletic Facility. Upon its opening, he managed the 80,000-square foot complex in lower Manhattan, catering to 2,300 patrons daily while supervising a staff of more than 200. During his tenure at NYU, eight different athletic teams finished in the top four nationally, including a 2007 National Championship in cross country.
LeFevre also previously worked with the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and Hockey East Conference. He holds an M.B.A. from NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business, as well as an M.S. in sports management from NYU's Robert Preston Tisch Center for Sports Management and a B.S. from NYU's College of Arts and Sciences. LeFevre also holds a certificate from the Sports Management Academy (SMI), the premier athletic administrative development academy in the country.

When TARP WAS initialLY proposed, proponents argued that the bailouts would not only help stabilize the banking sector, but that the government would likely end up even making money on the deal when the depressed securities rallied and the economy improved.
Judging by the performance of an index designed to track the bailouts, that's looking less and less likely.
The Nasdaq OMX Government Relief Index (QGRI) tracks companies that have received direct investments from the U.S. government in excess of $1 billion. The majority are banks and other financial firms, along with General Motors and insurance giant AIG (AIG: 0.38*, -0.15, -28.13%).

Is 'The Woman' An Abomination or Art?
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA – Controversy, which has dogged "The Woman" since audience members stormed out of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, was absent at last night's red-carpet screening of the horror film at Laemmle's theatre on the Sunset Strip.
A woman sitting next to Speakeasy covered her eyes during one of the film's cannibalism scenes. Even Speakeasy, which is no stranger to stronger fare, squirmed during a few particularly gruesome scenes.
The muted response marked a sea change in reception for the movie, which tells the tale of a primitive woman captured by a small town lawyer. After its January debut, angry audience members questioned whether the movie is "an abomination or a piece of art," said the film's publicist Henry Eshelman.
Speakeasy asked Sean Bridgers, who plays the role of the well-respected lawyer with a dark side, about the controversy.

produced by Fondazione dell'Accademia Nazionale di Danza, La Biennale di Venezia
with the contribution of the Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali and in collaboration with AMAT and Civitanova Danza
July of 2008 saw the launch of the project by the Accademia Nazionale di Danza di Roma, directed by Margherita Parrilla, which aims to become an international dance company. Eleven members constitute the new group, set up under the artistic supervision of Pina Bausch. The inaugural show after a year of intense work has its debut in Venice for the Biennale. Significantly, it is called Incipit and aims to be the manifesto of the dancers' versatility and of the varied choreographic thinking that will create the group's history. The evening will comprise a choreographic triptych represented by artists of very different personality: Pina Bausch opens with her personal homage to the idea, giving the company and Cristiana Morganti, a dancer of the Wuppertal Tanztheater, the task of elaborating a solo drawn from one of her latest masterpieces, Nefes (2003); this is followed by With astonishment I note the dog (revisited), by Robyn Orlin, one of the most controversial and provocative artists, who has redrawn the borders of choreography and the performing arts of South Africa revealing and stigmatising the contradictory reality of her country through her work, and becoming well-known around the world; and finally, an original creation by the Italian Jacopo Godani, a solo dancer at the Ballet Frankfurt of Forsythe and choreographer for leading European companies, from the Rotterdamse Dansgroep to the Royal Ballet Covent Garden in London, and from the Nederlands Dans Theater 2 to Compañía Nacional de Danza of Madrid.
The work Pina Bausch created in 2003 is called Nefes, which in Turkish means "breath". It is based on the impressions the Tanztheater company gained during an intense three-week visit to the splendid city of Istanbul. The solo by Cristiana Morganti, therefore, is also based on the atmospheres, images and experiences lived in this unique and mysterious city.
Cristiana Morganti states: "I have sought to respond to Pina's requests by capturing the spirit, the cheerfulness and strong desire to communicate of the people I met in Istanbul, a spirit very similar to what one notes in central and southern Italy. The joy of living, good food, the pleasure of seduction as a game to pass the time, and that healthy laziness of southern countries are all elements I have sought to communicate in my choice of movements. I recall having created many sequences containing pirouettes; this happened without my noticing it. It was Pina who, looking at my material, pointed this out to me and suggested we choose the pirouette as a theme to be developed, as a recurrent motif of my solo".
The result is a sunny, brilliant, fast solo full of detail, in which the dancer with irony allows the public to participate in her joy of dance.
Cristiana Morganti
"Historically, the dog has had many connotations… from the faithful representations of their most realistic characteristics to highly stylised forms in decoration and ornament that are almost unrecognisable but still significant… the symbolism changes from one century to the next and from one continent to another… So I have chosen to speak of some of these different aspects… A sort of collective reflection… When I began to work on the show, the earthquake had just taken place in Italy at L'Aquila… The first images showed the squads of rescuers with their dogs searching for life amidst the rubble… I remembered that when I took my own dog on a training course, I felt as though I was on a dance course… just as every dancer reminded me of a certain type of dog… "Homeless" dogs… "religious" dogs… "artist" dogs… "dancing" dogs and since every time I write the word "dog", this word can be replaced with "human being"… the free associations have been many, just as was the case for my collaborators, dancers who were extremely involved in this show… As I hope will be the case for the public too…"

British adventurer Jason Lewis has just finished the ride of his life after spending 13 years pedalling his way around the world.
Jason set off on his massive 74,842km adventure from London in a special pedal-powered boat - called Moksha - way back in 1994.
Since then, he's cycled, swam, in-line skated, kayaked, walked or pedalled his boat across five continents, two oceans and a sea to become the first person to circle the globe by human power alone.
It wasn't all plain sailing though... Jason was chased by a crocodile, dodged a shark attack and, while inline-skating in America, even broke both of his legs in a road accident.
It took him nine months to recover, but as soon as he had, he was back on the road and sea. Here he is leaving San Francisco.
Jason had to keep stopping his record-breaking journey to get work so he could raise enough money for the next bit of his trip. That's why it took him so long to finish it.
