The Tina Mion Museum at La Posada Hotel
Glance around the hotel and you'll see large, colorful paintings everywhere—some humorous, some slightly macabre. Tina Mion's art is one of the reasons why La Posada is so special. This well-known painter has exhibited in museums around the U.S., including the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute, the Truman and Eisenhower libraries, and the Hoover Presidential Library — among many others.
The works exhibited in the hotel include many pieces from her Ladies First series, an insightful retrospective on wives of American Presidents, as well as a variety of figures. The Ballroom is now home to her commentary on suicide, an 18-foot-wide piece entitled "A New Years Eve Party in Purgatory for Suicides."
The Tina Mion Museum opened in 2011. This 3000-square-foot space exhibited a rotating collection of Tina's work. It is open from 8 am to 8 pm.
A documentary on Tina's work airs at the Tina Mion Gallery, located just off the hotel's lobby from 9am to 9pm. A collection of prints of Tina's work is also on display and available for purchase at the hotel's gift shop.
You can learn more about Tina Mion and her art at tinamion.com.

"Down to earth, but still fun and tries new things," are some of the qualities that a girl must have if she wants to win David Archuleta's heart.
Not dating anyone at the moment, David Archuleta has revealed some of the qualities a lady should have in order to win his heart. Speaking to Radar Online at the orange carpet of Nickelodeon's 22nd Annual Kids' Choice Awards, the "American Idol" champion said his ideal girlfriend would be a girl who is "down to earth, but still fun and tries new things."
The girl, moreover, should be "concerned about other people" and "not totally into themselves." There have yet words if David has set his eyes on particular girls or when he wants to start dating.
David Archuleta struck a pose at the 2009 Kids' Choice Awards held at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon, March 28, alongside "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul. During the ceremony, the duo accepted the award for Favorite Reality Show for the popular singing competition.

DETROIT (AP) — A judge had an affair with a woman who had a child-support case pending in his court, often escorting her through a back door at the Detroit courthouse for trysts in his office, a state agency said Tuesday in a 20-page misconduct complaint.
It is the second time that Wayne County Judge Wade McCree has been investigated by the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission. The state Supreme Court reprimanded him last year after he sent a shirtless photo of himself to a female court employee, an incident that earned him the nickname "buff barrister" in media reports.
Geniene La'Shay Mott disclosed an affair with McCree in a TV interview in December and said she was pregnant with his child. He was immediately placed on leave and then suspended without pay in February.
McCree, 56, is in hot water for more than the relationship. The Judicial Tenure Commission said he lied during the agency's ethics investigation and falsely reported to prosecutors that Mott was stalking him. The judge is also accused of disparaging criminal defendants, telling Mott that his court was full of overweight people with tattoos and gap teeth.
McCree committed "irresponsible or improper conduct, which erodes public confidence in the judiciary," the commission said.
McCree likely will face a hearing in the weeks ahead and could ultimately be removed from office by the Supreme Court. His attorney, Brian Einhorn, said the judge shouldn't lose his job.
"We've acknowledged it was improper conduct, and he should be sanctioned for it," Einhorn said of the Mott matter. "It's the appearance of impropriety that is improper. It's his failure to recuse himself, which he should have done. Why he didn't do it, he doesn't understand either."
The complaint states that McCree met Mott last year when she appeared in his court in a child-support case involving Robert King, the father of her child. The commission said he gave her his business card and asked that she contact him.
That began a six-month relationship, including sex in McCree's office and other locations, the complaint says.
Mott and McCree repeatedly talked about how to punish King for owing child support, according to the commission. McCree placed King on electronic tether in August before the case was transferred to another judge a month later Einhorn said McCree didn't obstruct justice.
"He didn't send (King) to jail. His decision in this case was totally consistent with his decisions in like cases," Einhorn said.
McCree's late father, Wade McCree Jr., argued cases at the U.S. Supreme Court as solicitor general under President Jimmy Carter.

Do your children get
excited when they hear the words brown rice, vegetables
and seaweed?
Well, if they are like most kids, they probably run
and hide at any mention of these foods. Transitioning
yourself to a new way of eating and living can be interesting
and exciting, but shifting your whole family to eating
a healthier diet is a whole other bowl of rice.
I remember growing up in my family and never liking
healthy food. During dinner time I would move the food
around on my plate to make it look like I ate something.
But my mother knew my tricks, so she invented a few
schemes of her own to help my siblings and me get vegetables
and nutritious food into our bodies without us knowing.
Now that I am older, I am grateful for these sneaky
tactics my mom used, and I want to share them, along
with new things I have learned, to help you transition
your families to eating better, and enjoying it!
The first thing to remember is that every little change
makes a difference, so start small and change little
things. For example, use a high quality/high mineral
content sea salt and replace poor quality cooking oils
with high quality, unrefined, cold-pressed, organic
vegetable oils. Olive, sesame, and sunflower oils are
great choices.
Then, if eliminating food seems too depriving, focus
instead on adding things to your diet. Stock your kitchen
with easy-to-prepare dried and canned foods like organic
whole wheat or brown rice pastas, pasta sauce, canned
beans and specialty items.
Fill your refrigerator and freezer with handy foods
like whole wheat or corn tortillas, hummus, mixed greens,
cucumbers, and frozen foods like berries, corn, peas
and other veggies. These convenient foods make it easy
to make a quick wrap with hummus and veggies in a tortilla
or an easy pasta dish.
Get your family to eat whole grains. This might sound
tricky, but it is possible. My mom did this for our
family and transitioned us from eating white rice to
brown rice. She cooked the white rice with a little
bit of brown rice, so the brown rice was hidden, and
we thought we were eating white rice.
As time progressed, she upped the percentage of brown
rice very subtly when she made rice, so we never noticed.
After a while, we were eating half white and half brown
rice. Finally, we were completely transitioned to eating
brown rice as our staple grain, and no one really even
noticed. To this day, my family eats brown rice.
If your family craves dairy, cheese and yogurt, try
the healthier alternatives such as various non-dairy
milks (soy, rice, almond, oat, hemp nut), soy cheese,
and soy yogurt (Wildwood has a plain unsweetened probiotic
soyogurt). You will find that some soy cheeses melt
just like real cheese, and you can make parfaits with
soy yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit.
Even trading over-processed sugary snack foods for
organic corn chips, salsa, organic popcorn, apple chips,
and naturally sweetened breakfast cereals is a great
start. Keep fresh fruit, nut and seed butters, fruit
juice sweetened jams, and whole wheat sourdough breads
on hand for an easy snack.
If you need quick and convenient snack foods, look
for healthy options. Some choices are Pirate Brands
Original Tings Crunchy Corn Sticks instead of cheese
puffs and Nanas cookies, which are vegan, have
no refined sugar and no trans fats. Vanilla Snackimals
Animal Cookies by Barbaras Bakery and sparkling
fruit juice instead of sodas, like Izze Sparkling Juice
are other good choices.
Also, you can make your own fizzy drink with sparkling
water and organic fruit juice. Stay away from hydrogenated
oils, white sugar, including cane juice, white flour
and chemical additives. Dont forget to read the
labels on your foods.
As for baking, switch to organic whole wheat pastry
flour and unbleached organic all-purpose flour. You
can also experiment with different varieties of flours
such as brown rice, coconut, barley, or spelt for an
interesting twist in your baking. Keep organic rolled
oats, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and grain sweetened
chocolate chips (Sunspire brand) around for when you
feel inspired to bake. Ditch white sugar for sweet alternatives
like honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, brown rice syrup,
date sugar or stevia.
Last, get your kids excited about food. Keep that kids
like colors, shapes and flavors, so keep them interested
in what they are eating by making food fun. Kids wont
eat healing macrobiotic dishes, and they arent
supposed to. So try making things like rice burgers,
tempura, pasta dishes, and easy desserts like fruit
Even if your family eats animal food, try making it
healthier by switching to organic meats and making things
like chicken fingers with almond flour or organic bread
crumbs. If you are making hamburgers or meatballs, hide
grated onions, carrots and other vegetables in the meat
to make it healthier.
Also, remember to lead by example and show your children
that you enjoy eating healthy foods, so they will want
to join in! Dont force your kids to eat foods
they dont like. When they do like something, make
it over and over again. Also, whatever your they like
to eat, there is probably a healthy way to make it.
For example, they like brownies, make them healthy,
refined-sugar-free vegan brownies.
Involve your children in the process. Let them choose
fun dishes to prepare, decide what to put in them, and
enjoy the results. They can easily make fresh fruit
and vegetable juices, snacks, sandwiches, pancakes and
desserts with the help of an adult.
Here are a few recipes that
your children (and you) will love:
Blast Smoothie
This smoothie is fast, easy, and perfect for summer.
It will cool off any cravings for frozen desserts and
pack a big antioxidant punch.
1/2 Cup Organic unfiltered apple juice
1/4 Cup Non-dairy milk (rice, soy, almond, oat, hemp)
1/4 Organic banana
Generous handful of frozen organic strawberries
Generous handful of frozen organic blueberries
Dash of umeboshi vinegar
Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
Blend together until smooth.
Pour into glasses and enjoy.
Serves 2
Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
Blend together until smooth.
Pour into glasses and enjoy.
Serves 2
Macho Nachos
These are a fun snack or mini meal to calm rumbling
tummies and satisfy anyones craving for Mexican
Organic corn tortilla
1 Can of organic canned black beans
Grated soy cheese (I prefer Follow Your Heart, Vegan
Gourmet brand, Cheddar Cheese or Nacho Cheese flavor)
Fresh avocado slices
Optional: Tofu Sour Cream
Turn your oven or toaster oven on to
bake at 425 degrees.
Put some corn chips into a heat safe/ovenproof bowl.
Open the can of black beans, drain the water out, and
spoon the beans into the center of the bowl, on top
of the chips.
Grate the soy cheese over the chips and beans.
Bake the nachos in the oven for approximately 8 minutes
or until the cheese melts.
Take the nachos out of the oven and top them with tofu
sour cream, salsa and fresh avocado slices.
Serve and enjoy.

This is a kid-friendly spin on the traditional Indonesian
dish. The fun shapes, colors and delicious sauce is
sure to get your children eating vegetables.
Vegetable Preparation:
6 Leaves of Chinese cabbage, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 Handful of purple cabbage, sliced into ½ inch
1 Zucchini sliced in half length wise and then sliced
into ¼ inch pieces
6 Radishes sliced length wise into quarters
1/2 Yam sliced into rounds, and then punched into a
fun shape with a small cookie cutter
1/2 Japanese sweet potato sliced into rounds, and then
punched into a fun shape with a small cookie cutter
Set up a large pot with a steamer basket
inside, put water in the bottom of the pot, and turn
to high heat on the stove. Once the water is boiling,
put groups of vegetables into the pot on top of the
steamer. Keep the vegetables in groups so that the colors
dont bleed onto other vegetables. Lightly steam
the Chinese cabbage, zucchini, purple cabbage, and radishes
until they are brightly colored and still crisp. Let
the yam and
Japanese sweet potato steam until they are soft, but
still hold together.
Arrange the vegetables in a bowl.
Sweet Peanut Sauce:
1 Teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 Cup organic peanut butter (or any kind of nut or
seed butter)
2 Teaspoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons brown rice syrup
3 Tablespoons of water
1 Tablespoon tan sesame seeds
Put sesame oil, peanut butter, soy sauce,
brown rice syrup and water into a small saucepan.
Heat the saucepan on the stove on low and stir the ingredients
together until they have become smooth and sauce-like.
Adjust the sauce to taste.
Add the sesame seeds into the sauce and mix together.
Serve the sauce in a sauce cup along side your vegetables
for dipping or to pour over the vegetables. Enjoy!

Artisans Angkor products awarded by UnescoIn October 2012, the UNESCO Award of Excellence for Handicrafts in South and Southeast Asia 2012 has been granted to two craft products made by Artisans Angkor. These awards were attributed by an international panel of experts who examined 119 handicraft submissions from South-East Asia and 70 products from South Asia through four criteria: excellence in production and design, expression of identity, innovation and marketability.
One of the products which have been awarded is our Cambodian Life/Jungle Chic cushion cover, of which the jury praised the very fine workmanship on high quality silk, finishing, trendy color combination as well as the depicted theme which is very representative of Cambodia.
The other product which received an award was the Royal White Elephant cushion cover, which caught the attention of the experts for its trendy design mixing traditional symbols such as the elephant with modern stripes, the excellent finishing and the very reasonable price.
By recognizing such characteristics in our craftsmanship, the Unesco is giving Artisans Angkor the great privilege to confirm our quality standards and to raise our international awareness.

Weight, inactivity, and poor nutrition, especially sugary drinks and food, are contributing to diabetes, which increases your risk of multiple health-related issues:
\n \n
\n
Heart Attack
\n
Memory Loss
\n
Kidney Disease
\n
Amputation
\n
\n \n
So how do I know if you are on the road to becoming a diabetic? The first step is to get a checkup with your doctor to get a lab test that will determine your blood sugar and Hemoglobin A1C levels. These tests can help you know if you need to take aggressive prevention measures to prevent diabetes. If you are told that your blood sugar is even a "little high," that is a big deal.
\n\n
To prevent diabetes, you should take the following steps:
\n \n
\n
Start or maintain exercise for AT LEAST 30 minutes per day
\n
Stop the sugar - NO sugary drinks
\n
Lose 10% of your weight
\n
Cut back on the simple carbohydrates
\n
Eat foods that are high in Vitamin D
\n
Eat leafy greens, nuts, and whole grains
\n
Get plenty of sleep
\n
\n \n
Some people make the argument that it is more about genetics, which are out of a person's control. This argument is misleading, especially since new research shows that your lifestyle choices "turn on" the genes that influence disease. So, take action now! Diabetes is preventable if you commit to living a healthy life.

A Cadillac Adventure
Saturday March 5th, 2011 - Ft. Wayne, IN/Pittsburgh, PA
Back on the road. I had a weekend in Pittsburgh booked before being asked to perform at the benefit show last night for the Continental Showcase radio show. I wouldn't cancel on a booker without calling, and I tried to make it right with the Pittsburgh club owner.
I offered to either just come in on the Saturday, or postpone the weekend to a date down the road. He chose the Saturday, so I did it. If nothing else, I'm a man of my word. If I say I'll do something, I'll do my best to do it - even if it means losing money, which I'll do.
I wanted to rent a car, but I got to the place late and it was closed. I was going to head to Milwaukee last night and drive as far as I could and get a hotel rather than drive the entire way to Pittsburgh, which is a chunk of real estate. Instead, I had to press the old war horse Cadillac into service which is always a risk. Not only that, the gas it sucks is a money pit.
After the Milwaukee show I got in the Caddy and rubbed the steering wheel for any bit of good luck I could squeeze out of it. Being stuck between Milwaukee and Pittsburgh is not my idea of adventure these days. I wanted to fulfill my commitment and come home.
I made it to Ft. Wayne, IN and got a hotel room there. That's another expense, but I will lose money anyway for the week so I wanted to be safe and get some sleep. I drifted off to sleep but got jarred awake with a phone call at 9:55 telling me it was time to check out.
I get screwed out of an hour because of the time change, but that's life. Then, there was a loud knock at my door at 9:59 my time telling me in no uncertain terms my time was up and it was time to go. I should have stayed at the Motel 6 across the street, but I wanted to help out the little guy. So much for that. The light they left on for me was an 'EXIT' sign.
The Cadillac sucked gas as it usually does, but it rode smoothly the whole way. I do like the feel of riding in a big old road yacht, and if I was going to eat money anyway at least I had a comfortable ride. I had plenty of time to think, and I used my time the best I could.
Pittsburgh will always have a special place in my heart comedy wise. It will always be a pleasant memory because it was the very first time I did a real live away from home week on the road and got paid for it. It was a thrill, but little did I know what I was getting into.
That was January of 1986, and I remember it because it was the week the Space Shuttle blew up the first time. I don't know if that was symbolic or not, but it does help me put it all into a time frame. I was so young and stupid then with a lot to prove to a lot of people. I was supposed to do 15 minutes as the opener, but I doubt I had that much solid material.
Now, I was the wily veteran closer, and had more than enough material. There were two shows at the Radisson Hotel where the Funny Bone now is, and the crowds were the good solid laughers I remembered from all my years here. I ripped it up both shows, and didn't even rub it in about the Super Bowl like I thought I would. These people were too nice.

Story ran on April 1, 1999
Norm sits down
MU coach calls it quits after 32 seasons.
By JAMES D. HORNE of the Tribunes staff
Its the end of an era.
After 32 years, Norm Stewart announced that he was resigning as basketball coach of the University of Missouri. Stewart made the announcement at mid-court at the Hearnes Center this morning in front of family, friends and the media.
Yesterday, reports surfaced that Stewart and his lawyer, Steve Owen, had met with Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden about buying out the remaining two years of Stewarts contract. Neither Stewart or Owen had any comment yesterday, but this morning Stewart said hes stepping down as head coach because the time is right.
"The condition of the program is in great shape," Stewart said after a 30-second standing ovation. "We won the North Division" of the Big 12 Conference. "We beat everybody in our division, won a number of games and went to the NCAA Tournament. I think the condition of the program is good. The expectations are high right now and they should be."
In the press conference, Stewart was adamant that he was stepping down because he wanted to and not because he was being pushed out or was asked to resign. He just felt it was time to leave.
Stewart is not leaving the program, however. With four years remaining on his contract, Stewart will step into the role as "Special Assistant to the Chancellor." In his new role, he will continue to further the interests of the University by seeking support for its programs especially athletic facilities projects.
In October of 1996, Stewart signed a contract that extended his coaching duties through 2001 and his tenure with the University until 2003. Stewart will now use his talents that made him one of the most successful coaches in college basketball history and use them to help the entire University. Missouri Chancellor Richard Wallace is happy that Stewart is staying around.
"When you talk about the University of Missouri and the things that embody this institution one of the things that I look at are "The Columns", which symbolize quality, endurance and strength," Wallace said. " "The Columns are a symbol of Missouri and anytime Ive watch Norm coach I saw he embodied the same things, quality, endurance and strength.
"Norm never lost touch with his Missouri roots. He served with respect and dignity. Hes been loyal to this program for 32 years."
At the press conference, Stewart thanked his wife, family, players, friends, coaches and administrators that he worked with in his 32 years at Missouri. He talked openly about all the good times he had as Missouris. He talked about the players that have gone on to be successes not only in the NBA but in life as doctors, and lawyers and insurance salesmen. He also talked how great the group of current players are and how good they can be.
"I know this group is great," Stewart said. "They will continue to get better all the time."
Most of the team attended the press conference, but noticeably absent were freshmen Keyon Dooling and Clarence Gilbert. But Stewart said that he told all of his players to go to class and thats why Dooling and Gilbert werent in attendance.
"What did I tell you guys to do?," Stewart asked his players, and to a man they all responded, Go to class.
Its class and wins that Stewart will be most remembered by In his 32 seasons, Stewart complied a 731-375 record and led Missouri to 16 NCAA Tournaments. But Stewarts teams never advanced farther than the Elite Eight.
Stewarts 731 wins rank him seventh all-time. He coached more games (967) than any coach in Missouri history. Overall, Stewart coach 1,106 NCAA games which ranks him seventh all-time.
But with Stewarts departure, the speculation now turns to who will be the next Missouri coach. Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden said the search would begin right away.
"Its not a short list," Alden said. "Were taking a look at coaches all over the country. Theres a lot of names out there."
Aldens explanation
Missouri athletic director Mike Alden didnt look like the man who had just brought down Goliath, He didnt act like it either.
To hear Alden, the three-week time table when Missouris legendary basketball Norm Stewart decided to end one of college basketballs most prolific careers to join the ranks of the retired, parties from Stewarts camp and the university were working together.
"This had to be a mutual agreement," Alden said. "When Norm said he thought he still had something to offer , but he wanted to step down as head coach. We are glad that hes still able to help us."
Although rumors circulated throughout the state have centered on behind the scenes schemes and plans, Alden would bite on none of them. He said the last few days were spent mostly talking about Stewarts role in the future.
But that wont change the perception that Stewart was forced out before his time.
Alden said the issue first surfaced on March 15 when Stewart surprised him with the idea that he might want to step down as coach. Alden, who had been a champion of Stewarts reign on the program, was stunned.
"I expected him to come back and say he would be back. I thought he might come out here today and say April Fools," Alden said.
Fox Sports reported that St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke of Columbia had orchestrated a buyout of Stewarts final years of the contract. Kroenke, whose son Josh is being recruited by Missouri, is a former basketball player who has been a fan of Stewart and the job hes done with the program. Kroenke was en route to an all-star basketball game and unavailable.

Municipal broadband wireless networking,
broadband television from telephone companies, battery-operated cars and
microchip wafer polishing for more powerful semiconductors have been
identified by the editors of IEEE Spectrum as "winners" in a new special issue
highlighting the best and worst of global technology.
For the report, the magazine's editors considered more than 50
possibilities and selected winners and losers for 2005.
"There are lessons to be learned from both sides of the win/lose equation,
including how projects fail even when they start out looking great on paper,
and what makes a successful project tick," said Glenn Zorpette, executive
editor, IEEE Spectrum. "To pick the winning and losing projects, we judged
their feasibility and whether or not what they are trying to accomplish is
The results showcased some new and exciting technologies that have the
potential to make major impacts on web surfing, computer use, television
watching and automobile driving. The losers included technologies designed to
thwart terrorists, improve energy use, help students learn science and protect
intellectual property.
IEEE Spectrum's technology winners are:
* Las Vegas's Metro Mesh Network pilot program to create a citywide
broadband mobile wireless technology. This robust and easy-to-deploy
technology will allow the city to serve a wide range of needs, from
emergency responder communications to traffic light management. This
new network is being developed by Cheetah Wireless Technologies,
MeshNetworks and the City of Las Vegas Traffic Engineering Department.
* Electrochemical Mechanical Planarization from Applied Materials, Inc.,
Santa Clara, Calif., whose goal is to make possible the next-generation
of smaller, faster, cheaper microchips.
* Internet-Protocol Television, delivering dozens of channels of video
programming through a relatively low-speed broadband connection (2.2
megabits per second). This technology allows telephone carriers to
compete with cable providers using their legacy copper networks instead
of an expensive optical-fiber upgrade. The technology is under
development in Zurich, Switzerland by Swisscom AG and Microsoft Corp.
* Ultracapacitor Development Project, under way in Yongin, Korea by
NessCap to reduce the cost of ultracapacitors and find new markets for
them. Ultracapacitors are superior to batteries in many respects and
are expected to be used increasingly to improve the performance of
hybrid-electric and fuel-cell cars.
Mr. Zorpette said that the magazine's editors considered specific
projects, not companies or classes of technology. "For winners, the project
must in some sense be novel; its beneficial social, economic or environmental
outcomes must outweigh any negatives. The likelihood of the project's success
must be evident from the fact that the project seems clearly poised to
capitalize on clear-cut trends in business, technology, society or
government," he said.
This year's losers were selected based on several factors. The technology
must have negative outcomes that outweigh its positives. Its poor chances of
success are evident because the project is at odds with trends in its niche.
Or the project's technology didn't work or seems to have a good chance of not
The losers include electronic passports being developed by the U.S.
Department of State, among others, to thwart terrorists and the Bavarian
Solarpark created to partially replace Germany's nuclear and fossil fuel power
plants with homegrown solar power. Additional losers are Digital Aristotle
from Vulcan, Inc., Seattle, an artificial intelligence project that creates
electronic tutors for science students; and AACS (Advanced Access Content
System), being developed by IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic (Matsushita
Electric), Sony, Toshiba, Disney and Warner Bros. Studios, to copy-protect
next-generation DVDs.
To come up with their final lists of winners and losers, the IEEE Spectrum
staff relied heavily on the global resources of the IEEE, a professional
organization whose members include nearly 400,000 engineers, computer experts
and technologists.
The January 2005 issue of IEEE Spectrum is available by subscription, on

Boulder CO (SPX) Apr 10, 2013
Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. has begun integration for WorldView-3, the next generation commercial remote-sensing satellite being built for DigitalGlobe, a leading global provider of high-resolution earth imagery solutions.
The third satellite in a series to employ the Ball Commercial Platform (BCP) 5000, WorldView-3 is slated for launch in mid-2014. For more than a decade Ball Aerospace has partnered with DigitalGlobe to deliver increasingly advanced imaging satellites, including WorldView-2 in 2009, WorldView-1 in 2007, and QuickBird in 2001.
"Our experience building spacecraft for DigitalGlobe has allowed for quick progress on WorldView-3," said Cary Ludtke, vice president and general manager of Ball's Operational Space business unit.
"WorldView-3 will be a highly capable spacecraft based on a low risk design with proven results. We're eager for it to join DigitalGlobe's growing constellation."
Currently the integration of the control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) and the propulsion module is underway in anticipation of the ITT Exelis imaging sensor delivery in mid-2013. Following successful sensor integration and checkout, environmental testing of the completed satellite is scheduled to begin in this fall.
WorldView-3 will offer 31 centimeter resolution panchromatic, 1.24 meter resolution eight-band multispectral and 3.72 meter resolution eight-band Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) imagery.
U.S. government restrictions require DigitalGlobe's imagery provided to non-U.S. government customers be limited to no more than 50 centimeters panchromatic, 2.0 meter multispectral or, 7.5 meter SWIR.
WorldView-3 builds upon the WorldView-2 and WorldView-1 technology by carrying forward the satellite's advanced CMGs. The CMGs reorient a satellite over a desired collection area in 4-5 seconds, compared to 30-45 seconds needed for traditional reaction wheels.
As WorldView-3 joins the modern fleet of WorldView-class satellites, DigitalGlobe will have the largest high resolution satellite imagery collection capacity in the industry.
In addition, the range of customer applications enabled by the DigitalGlobe constellation and overall value DigitalGlobe can provide to customers is greatly expanded by issuance of a license from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to collect eight-band short-wave infrared imagery.
Jeff Culwell, vice president of DigitalGlobe's data business line notes this will allow WorldView-3 the ability to sense both the visible spectrum as well as deeper into the infrared spectrum that provides a rich dataset to precisely identify different manmade and natural materials.

text: 1. Jonathan Cooper G/C First off I don't believe the hype. This guy will not be gone before the 18th pick. Warmack will go at 16 to St. Louis and then Cooper will go immediately afterwards. Guards do not go high. That being said I think Jerry is just blowing smoke. I don't think he is happy with the Oline as is. 2. Syvester Williams DT Again I don't think this guy is going to go as high as the mock drafts are showing. I think he slips to the 2nd due to the deep class at DT. Dallas needs a 1 tech who can clog lanes and rush the passer. Williams fits the bill to a T. 3. Brennan Williams OT I think this guy would be a perfect fit at RT. I also don't think Dallas trusts Parnell. I think Dallas will hedge their bets on having a starter on the right side and will allow Williams to compete against Parnell for the starting gig. Even if Parnell starts over Williams, they need depth in case Smith or Parnell gets hurt. 4. Shawn Williams S He had a much better combine than production, but he is still legit 4th round safety prospect. I think Rambo will be there but I don't think Dallas will draft someone with a drug past. Cyprien and Swearinger are better prospects but I don't think either will make it this far down. 5. Quanterus Smith DE A torn ACl dropped his stock, but when healthy he was a terror and he took DJ Flukers manhood away. Smith will be perfect for a redshirt year where he tries to put weight on and heal his knee. He wouldn't produce much in his first year but would be a good player in his 2nd year. 6. Knile Davis RB Dallas needs a RB and this guy has all the tools you look for. He is always injured but most 6th round picks never pan out anyway. He could be a steal in the 6th round and is well worth the risk here. I know he's got an injury history but you can't coach that speed and strength ratio.

Cricket tensions high
Wasim Akram: "Hopefully the fans will take it in the right spirit"
With both sides currently involved in military skirmishes over Kashmir, organisers are fearful the already fierce rivalry will become even more intense.
The match began at 1045 BST with the crowd well behaved as India began their innings.
Record security
World Cup organisers' biggest fear is that the end-of-match pitch invasions could put the players in danger, a concern which has already been voiced by several captains during the tournament.
"I do ask all the fans to co-operate and not run onto the field. Let's make it a day to remember for the right reasons," Wasim said.
Wasim, who ended a 10-year association with Lancashire when he was released at the end of last season, is hopeful that Tuesday's match will pass off without incident and follow a similar pattern to the two most recent occasions when the countries met on the pitch.
"I have spoken to the Lancashire chairman Jack Simmons about security and he has assured me everything is in place so I'm not worried," Wasim said.
"In fact I don't think there will be any trouble because we've played India in recent tournaments without any problems."
"Our objective is for all fans to enjoy what potentially is a wonderful day's cricket between two fine sides and to ensure safety for all concerned."
Imran to mediate
"I have told Lancashire I am available to help them make a success of it," Imran said.
"We can't afford to let it go wrong."
Muhammad Junejo, Virmani's Pakistani counterpart, agreed, saying: "This has not got to be seen as a battle between two rivals.
"What is happening in Kashmir is not a war situation. It has been going on a long time between the two countries.
"Today we don't think of Kashmir, we think of the cricket."

Planning on getting a hot dog for lunch? Well, you probably won't be buying this one.
The Guinness World Record people have declared the "Dragon Dog" to be the most expensive hot dog in the world.
Created by DougieDog Hot Dogs in Vancouver, Canada, the Dragon Dog will cost you the grand sum of $100, which easily beats the former record of $69 for the Haute Dog at New York's Serendipity restaurant.
DougieDog was notified of its achievement by Guinness last week.
"Taking the title away from New York, I feel like we just won the Stanley Cup!" said DougieDog Owner and Chief Hot Dog Designer, dougie luv, in a statement.
Perhaps somewhat justifying its price, the Dragon Dog is "infused with hundred-year-old cognac and topped with lobster and Kobe beef."
Dougie luv said, "There's no better combination than pork and cognac — especially when the cognac costs $2400 a bottle."
According to DougieDog, hundreds of customers have already splurged on the 12-inch long Dragon Dog, since it joined the restaurant's menu in January, which doubtless delights the restaurant's owners.

The three Three of these elements are found in different proportions in the Earth's crust: it has been estimated that zinc is present to the extent of 80 parts per million (compared with 70 for copper and 16 for lead). The estimate for cadmium is only 0.15; commercially, it is always found associated with zinc or zinc–lead ores and is produced only as a by-product of zinc and lead smelting. The proportion of mercury in the Earth's crust is estimated at 0.08 parts per million. All important mercury deposits consist of mercuric sulfide, known as the mineral cinnabar. Copernicium has only been produced in a particle accelerator.
Some properties of the zinc group elements are listed in the following Table.
All three elements Zinc, cadmium, and mercury can lose the two electrons in the outermost shell to form dipositive ions, M2+ (in which M represents a generalized metal element), thereby exposing the next innermost shell with a stable configuration in each case of 18 electrons. Ordinary chemical reactions cannot supply enough energy to remove more than two electrons and thus increase the oxidation state above +2, though any number of electrons can be removed under conditions that can provide the necessary energy, such as intense heat or powerful electric or magnetic fields. All These three elements tend to use the two outer electrons for covalent bonding; this tendency is most marked in the case of mercury, less so in that of zinc, and least with cadmium.
Zinc exhibits only the +2 oxidation state. It can give up two electrons to form an electrovalent compound; e.g., zinc carbonate ZnCO3. It may also share those electrons, as in zinc chloride, ZnCl2, a compound in which the bonds are partly ionic and partly covalent. Dipositive mercury also forms covalent bonds in mercuric chloride, HgCl2.
Cadmium compounds are mainly ionic, but cadmium also forms complex ions with ligands (atoms, ions, or molecules that donate electrons to a central metal ion); e.g., the complex ion with ammonia NH3, having the formula [Cd(NH3)4]2+, or with the cyanide ion, the formula [Cd(CN)4]2−. Differing from zinc and mercury, cadmium can form the complex ions represented by the formulas [CdCl3]− and [CdCl4]2− in solution.
Mercury in its +2 and +1 oxidation states forms the ions Hg2+ and [Hg2]2+, respectively. In the latter, two electrons are shared in a covalent bond between the two metal atoms. The [Hg2]2+ ion shows little tendency to form complexes, whereas the Hg2+ ion does form them. In contrast to compounds of mercury in the +2 state, which are usually covalent, all the common salts of mercury in the +1 state are ionic, and the soluble compounds—ecompounds—e.g., mercurous nitrate, Hg2(NO3)2—show normal properties of ionic compounds, such as ease of dissociation or breakup into separate ions in solution.
Mercury is exceptional in that, unlike zinc or cadmium, it does not react easily with oxygen on heating, and mercuric oxide does not show the acid property of forming salts (mercurates), whereas zinc oxide does this readily. Mercury is again anomalous in that it does not produce hydrogen, as do zinc and cadmium, upon treatment with dilute acids. With fairly concentrated nitric acid, zinc and cadmium evolve oxides of nitrogen and form zinc or cadmium nitrates; mercury gives both mercuric nitrate, Hg(NO3)2, and mercurous nitrate, Hg2(NO3)2. A further characteristic of mercury that is uncommon among metals is its readiness to form stable compounds containing a mercury–carbon bond or a mercury–nitrogen bond. As a result, mercury forms a wide variety of organic compounds (compounds that always contain carbon, usually also hydrogen, and often one or more of the elements oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur). On the whole, therefore, the zinc group elements do not show a smooth gradation of properties, mainly because of the number of anomalous properties of mercury, which in many respects shows a greater similarity to silver than to zinc and cadmium.
The classical chemical methods of analysis are now rarely employed except for standardization. When this is required, the methods most commonly employed are the titration of zinc (i.e., addition of a measured volume of a standardized solution of ferrocyanide ion until the exact amount necessary for complete reaction has been added), the conversion of cadmium to cadmium sulfide, which is isolated and weighed, and the colorimetric estimation of mercury (comparison of the intensity of the colour produced by reaction with the substance dithizone with that produced by the same treatment of known amounts of mercury). In daily practice, colorimetry and polarography (a method based on the response of electric current to a steadily increasing electromotive force applied to a solution) are widely used but are being rapidly replaced by other techniques of greater rapidity, simplicity, or accuracy. These modern procedures include atomic absorption spectroscopy (based on the absorption of light of certain wavelengths by atoms present in a flame) and X-ray fluorescence (based on the emission of radiation of characteristic wavelengths when X rays impinge on a sample).
The toxicity of the metals increases sharply in the order zinc, cadmium, mercury. The toxicity of zinc is low. In drinking water zinc can be detected by taste only when it reaches a concentration of 15 parts per million (ppm); water containing 40 parts per million zinc has a definite metallic taste. Vomiting is induced when the zinc content exceeds 800 parts per million. Cases of fatal poisoning have resulted through the ingestion of zinc chloride or sulfide, but these are rare. Both zinc and zinc salts are well tolerated by the human skin. Excessive inhalation of zinc compounds can cause such toxic manifestations as fever, excessive salivation, and a cough that may cause vomiting; but the effects are not permanent.
Compared with those of zinc, the toxic hazards of cadmium are quite high. It is soluble in the organic acids found in food and forms salts that are converted into cadmium chloride by the gastric juices. Even small quantities can cause poisoning, with the symptoms of increased salivation, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Fatal cases have been reported. Cadmium has its most serious effect as a respiratory poison: a number of fatalities have resulted from breathing the fumes or dusts that arise when cadmium is heated. Symptoms are difficult or laboured breathing, a severe cough, and violent gastrointestinal disturbance.
Mercury and its compounds are highly toxic. They can be handled safely, but stringent precautions must be taken to prevent absorption by inhalation, by ingestion, and through the skin. The main result of acute poisoning is damage to kidneys.
Numerous cases of poisoning through the industrial use of inorganic mercury compounds have been known. In the 19th century the use of mercuric nitrate in the hat industry to carrot, or lay, the felt caused tremors and a physical disturbance that gave rise to the phrase "as mad as a hatter" and consequently was banned. Organic compounds of mercury, most notably the compounds of the aryl and alkyl families, were once widely used, primarily as fungicides in seeds, paint, and paper. The toxicity of such compounds is different. The behaviour of aryl salts—as for example phenylmercuric acetate—in the body is similar to that of inorganic compounds. Both groups if ingested cause vomiting, colic, and diarrhea, and both are skin irritants. No fatal case of aryl salt poisoning has been reported; however, exposure to alkyl salts has caused a number of deaths. The main target seems to be the central nervous system, and alkyl salts are capable of penetrating brain cells. They are only slowly excreted. Concern has been expressed at an apparent buildup of mercury in tuna, swordfish, and salmon, and many countries have set limits on the amounts allowable in edible fish. The use of mercurial fungicides and pesticides and the discharge of mercury-containing industrial wastes were prohibited in the United States in the early 1970s because they were found to cause such contamination.

|Frequently Asked Questions
|Current Projects
Project Insight. In many fields of human endeavor, from sales, marketing and design to debate, discussion and dating, an important part of success is adapting to your audience. The goal of Project Insight is to collect data on game players and use that data to automatically adapt the game to the player.
PaperDoll RPG. A role-playing game where fashion matters. Less a research project than an actual game. Being developed by Shikigami Games, which is the tiny company setup for me, friends and maybe a student or two to work on games focused more on entertainment than research.
|GopherTD. We are studying how people learn, represent, transfer and apply problem solving knowledge. We are specifically investigating how people solve complex spatio-temporal reasoning problems and how they improve with experience. We are collecting data on human performance in the tower defense domain and using it to create a computer agent capable of solving arbitrary TD puzzles. Our primary interests are in strategy representation, strategy-based transfer learning and reasoning with spatial affordances.
|PaperDoll Fashion Reaction. PDFR began as a research project investigating explicit cultural representation and scalable agent authoring tools and has gone on to become a commercial game being developed by Shikigami Games. In addition to the standard commercialization issues (art, polish, etc.), we are investigating knowledge merger techniques (specifically conflict resolution), influence attenuation and inheritance-based design by exception for cultural representations.
My specific interests are in ecological rationality, environmental cues, fast and frugal heuristics, concept representation and generalizable learning. i'm less interested in rationality and optimal behavior and more interested in what real people do, why they do it, what information they use and how they represent that information. While numerous laboratory experiments have proven that people are irrational, i work off the belief that, in the real world, people make the best possible decisions.
My domains of study generally fall into the average guy category. Specifically, i'm interested in problems that almost every human can solve easily but which computers have a hard time. The easiest tasks in this category involve video games. Games have three great advantages. First, games are the right difficulty level for humans. They can't be too easy or the player gets bored. They can't be too hard or else the player gets frustrated. Second, since the task is done on a computer, it's easy to collect raw data. Finally, most games represent problems that are incredibly difficult for current AI techniques.
My dissertation (Representation and Reasoning for Complex Spatiotemporal Problems: From Humans to Software Agents) used tower defense games to study how people represented and reasoned about space and time, how that enabled them to get better with experience, how they used knowledge derived from old problems to solve new ones and how all of that could be used to make a fairly nifty artificial agent that could solve novel tower defense problems at an expert level on the first try.
i also do a little work on games and simulations that is not based on simulating real human behavior, although a lot of it does use human psychology (especially all the cheating and player management algorithms).
i'm also in data mining. Right now that means strategy inference. That means that i try to infer a person's strategies from a set of generated artifacts (in this case, solutions to game problems). To make life easier, i assume the the set of base strategies is known. Unfortunately, in real problem solving, agents can use an arbitrary number of strategies (including 0) and strategies can be merged into novel, unknown strategies. Also, many strategies generate the same outcome. It's pretty tricky.
This is how i got started with computers. It was a video game programming class at The University of Texas that convinced me to leave journalism and learn how to program a computer. i liked role playing games, Austin was the home to Origin (maker of the most popular RPG games in the world) and many of my friends worked as designers and programmers at Origin, so it should be no surprise that i started by writing RPGs (i also made, with now industry veteran Allen Jackson, an Axis & Allies game i was particularly proud of).
Since then, i've made many games, some for research, some for fun, some to learn and some to teach. In addition to my current projects (GopherTD and the commercial PaperDoll Fashion Reaction), we've built GopherTD (a tower defense game used to study human spatial reasoning), AI Game (a scriptable turn-based strategy based on Heroes of Might & Magic IV used to teach AI programming), The Dating Game (a dating sim used to teach production rules), Counter-Strike Tower Defense (a hostage rescue game based on cs_militia used to study opponent modeling), the Harry Potter simulator (a virtual reality spell casting game used to study 3D gesture recognition), The Game of Love (an adventure game about feelings), and various other small games. Professionally i worked on Alelo's Tactical Language and Culture series (Tactical Iraqi, Tactical Pashto, etc.) as well as a few indie titles and maybe one or two much older commercial titles. i also have a friend or two at Rockstar, Nintendo, Sony, Origin, NCSoft, Iguana, Digital Anvil, Bungie, Monolith and whoever it is that made Silent Hill, Worms, Killzone and a bunch of other games like that.

According to the latest reports, the much famed rapper of 1990s widely known for his single 'Now That We Found Love' among his fans, has passed away at 44 on November 8th 2011.
Heavy D, whose actual name was Dwight Arrington Meyers, reportedly fell on the ground outside his residence situated at Beverly Hills. The reports utter that the rapper suffered problem in breathing after he returned from the morning shopping tour, the cops report.
By the time the paramedics came, Heavy D recovered the consciousness and got taken to the nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The police's statement reveals that still there is no sign of any foul play and apparently it is being believed that his death is medical related.
The cops have referred the case of Heavy D's death to Coroner's Office so that the accurate cause of the rapper's death can be traced. On Twitter, his death's news spread like wildfire and the fans got crazy to learn more about his death.
The rapper was born in Jamaica on May 24th 1967. On October 8th, he delivered the performance at Michael Jackson tribute concert where his performance was simply loved to be seen. His album 'Reggage' was released in 2009.
Heavy D was a famous rapper, actor and a record producer of the US. He was also an active ex-leader of the hip hop group, 'Heavy D & The Boyz'. In 90s era, this group which also included G-Whitz and Eddie F did brilliantly well among the listeners.
The investigation team has been arranged, which has started doing the investigation to learn the exact cause of the rapper's death. Heavy was much popular among the music lovers and his fans have turned much sad after learning about his death. On the social networking websites, fans are exchanging words about this classy rapper's death.

Killeen Daily Herald
The second day of early voting proved Bell County voters have a keen interest in the outcome of the 2008 election.
Tuesday's early voter turnout nearly matched Monday's single-day record for Bell County as the polls closed with a final tally of just under 6,000 for the day.
The final numbers Tuesday ended at 5,965, nearly equaling Monday's 6,141 votes. After just two days of early voting, 12,740 people have cast a ballot.
The record for early voting in the county was set in 2004 when 48,000 people voted early. With two days in the books and nine remaining until the early voting cutoff Oct. 31, this year's numbers have already reached one-fourth the record.
The Temple County Annex continued to be the most popular of the six early voting locations across the county, drawing 1,398 voters Tuesday, 139 more than on Monday. Killeen's Community Center also eclipsed Monday's numbers with 1,079, 29 more than on Monday.
Add those to the Killeen County Annex's 850 on Monday, and another 1,929 voted in Killeen for a combined Killeen count of 3,848 after two days. The Harker Heights Recreation Center drew nearly as many as Monday, posting 686; Belton had 996, one more than Monday.
Last March, the primary election drew a record 41,000 voters. Election Clerk Jana Henderson said she ordered double that number of ballots.
Henderson said that she's given specific instructions and classes to staffers to avoid any confusion when voters walk in.
Part of that confusion lies in the special election vote in the hotly contested and highly publicized House District 55 race between Republican Ralph Sheffield and Democrat Sam Murphey.
Henderson said that since the special election for the two-month unexpired period is first on the ballot, she's instructing every staff member to tell every voter that the one that matters is on the back of the ballot.
Several election judges, including Colleen Rhoads at Harker Heights, noted that they get used to saying it over and over. "We've been very careful to point it out to every voter," Rhoads said Monday. "We called their attention to the fact that the special election was before, and that they needed to fill that in no matter what, whether they voted straight party or not."
The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Friday. They will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, and on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
During the last five days of early voting, Oct. 27-31, the polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The polls will then close and open again on Election Day, Nov. 4.
Residents can vote in any of the six polling locations in the county during early voting. On Election Day, however, they have to vote at one of the designated 49 precinct locations.

With Christmas just around the corner, we asked a host of law firm chiefs what they were hoping for this year.
Here's what they told us:
Lee Ranson, managing partner at Eversheds: "Three points for Nottingham Forest against Leeds on Boxing Day would be good. If that's too big a stretch for the big man then tickets for the Book of Mormon, which opens in the West End in February."
Ian Gilbert, managing partner at Walker Morris: "Peace and quiet."
Sharon White, chief executive at Stephenson Harwood: "For our clients to be the successful bidders on a number of projects and transactions that are pending – that would get the new year off to a great start. And something small but very sparkly under the tree from my husband."
Ted Burke, chief executive at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer: "In addition to more time with the family, a box of inexpensive and durable reading glasses as I break and lose so many of them while travelling."
Stuart Fuller, global chair at King & Wood Mallesons: "A teleporter so I don't have to spend my life on planes."
Simon Beswick, managing partner at Osborne Clarke: "If I was allowed to be greedy it would be seeking two presents: increased business confidence and another quality striker for Liverpool FC, both for the obvious reasons."
Iain Blatherwick, managing and senior partner at Browne Jacobson: "The Complete Columbia Johnny Cash Collection and for Norwich City's unbeaten run to continue."
Philip Rodney, chairman at Burness Paull & Williamsons: "For 2013, I would like the pundits proved wrong and healthy growth in the economy. I would also like Led Zeppelin to reform for one last hurrah and to see Patti Plinko playing the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury."
Alberto Saravalle, managing partner at Bonelli Erede Pappalardo: "After 13 months of austerity and new taxes, a jolt to Italy's economy allowing it to move rapidly on the path towards growth. This should give foreign investors new confidence in Italy's ability to overcome its structural problems and attract again foreign investments."
Nigel Knowles, CEO and managing partner at DLA Piper: "The restoration of trust and confidence between the public and private sectors unleashing a true entrepreneurial spirit to kick start our economy and to get young people into work. And seeing Sheffield Wednesday head the Championship, GDP growth of 4 per cent and a golf lesson from Rory McIlroy."
Colin Passmore, senior partner at Simmons & Simmons: "I've asked for two tickets to see Neil Young in concert. He's playing in London next year and I'm a really big fan of his but have never seen him live. I've also asked for the Michael Macintyre DVD. I saw him in October and he was awesome."
Florentin Tuca,managing partner at Tuca Zbarcea & Asociatii: "All I wish for Christmas is to take a picture of my daughter when she will meet Roger Federer while staying at the same hotel as us in Dubai."
Javier Samaniego, managing partner of Bird & Bird's Madrid office: "I ask the Eastern Wise Men to bring in 2013 some good fees, deals and 'birds'."
Jennie Gubbins, senior partner-elect at Trowers & Hamlins: "It has to be quality time with my family, a bit less rain and maybe even a spot of snow for all round festive cheer."
Darryl McDonough, chief executive at Clayton Utz: "I'd like to enjoy time with family and friends, catch up on my reading and get some sleep in somewhere other than a plane. And perhaps a new pen for my collection."
Emmanuelle Barbara, managing partner at August & Debouzy: "Trust within France and more specifically between the government, the corporations and the citizens of our country, in order to act together towards recovery from the economic crisis and economic growth which would benefit to all."
Paul Wilson, CEO at Shakespeares: "If Santa can help, my staff's ongoing patience as we continue to try to make sense of the future of the regional UK legal market and the implications for their long-term careers"
Danny Gowan, international senior partner at DAC Beachcroft: "A bright and prosperous new year."
