KJ Noons has flashed his enormous potential in the early stages of his fighting career. Noons is arguably the most prominent MMA fighter to have a legitimate professional boxing record to his name. This man is surely not Art Jimmerson as KJ is patiently attempting to become a champion in each sport.

Recent UFC-signee and PRIDE veteran, Cyrille "Da Snake" Diabate, took some of his busy time to answer a few questions for you guys. I appreciate the input you gave me and expect the Ninjas to continuously help me come up with questions for other fighters in the future (in my Ongoing Interview Suggestion thread).
Q: First off, Congratulations on your new opportunity. How many fights are you now under contract for with the UFC and do you know when you will be fighting?

Mixed Martial Arts is a relatively young sport, yet a select few fighters have become synonymous with the sport and its evolution. They are pioneers of MMA because they helped shape the sports growth in a multitude of ways. Ken began fighting in Pancrase and the UFC in 1993, when there were still elementary questions regarding which disciplines and techniques were effective in No Holds Barred competitions that had yet to be answered. Ken also had the right look to captivate the audience.

Circuit de la Sarthe
An Intense Start To The Race
In front of 250,000 fans, Jean Todt got the 79th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans underway. The first few keenly contested laps confirmed that the battle for supremacy would be intense. Three hours into the race, including a safety car period lasting over an hour, the Peugeot no.7 lies second ahead of the Peugeot no.9. Now on a different strategy to the other two cars, following a problem with the brake distribution unit, the Peugeot no.8 is back in sixth.
Conditions: Overcast, dry track, 16℃ at 15:00 – Clear skies, 17℃ at 18:00
The Race:
Franck Montagny (no.8) moves up to third place at the start, whilst Sébastien Bourdais (no.9) and Alexander Wurz (no.7) lie fifth and sixth respectively. The race at the front of the field is close for the first few laps, with the top six separated by a few seconds until the leaders make their first pit stops about 40 minutes after the start. "'The race got off to a flying start.|Olivier Quesnel|right""
At 15:50 the safety car comes out, after the Audi no.3 crashes spectacularly into the barriers. The safety car stays out for over an hour whilst the safety barriers are repaired. Following a problem with the brake distribution unit, Franck Montagny comes in for his second pit stop earlier than planned and hands over to Stéphane Sarrazin, with the Safety Car still out. The Team Peugeot Total mechanics repair the problem quickly. The no.8 car, now on a different strategy to the leaders, loses a few seconds, heading back out on track in 8th position. Sébastien Bourdais and Alexander Wurz both start the race with a triple stint. At 17:31, Alexander Wurz, makes the most of the traffic to grab second place from the Audi no.1 with a superb overtaking manoeuvre. With the series of pit stops, the Peugeot no.7 moves into the lead ahead of the Peugeot no.9, just before the race's threehour mark.
Olivier Quesnel – Peugeot Sport Director: "The race got off to a flying start. One Audi is out of the race, but anyone can have a problem. The race is going to come down to reliability and the drivers will also have a major role to play. They are the ones who can make the difference. This 24 Hours, it's going to be crazy."
Sébastien Bourdais (Peugeot no.9): "It's difficult, the car is sliding a lot, you have to be careful. We are running on our schedule, we are lapping without taking any unnecessary risks in the traffic."

In 2008, the first Pacifying Police Unit (UPP) was implemented in the Santa Marta slum in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro.
Stricken to death, the fallen hero retired to an estate near Santa Marta.
We seem to have more friends than we are aware of in Santa Marta.
It means they will once more be masters of this district, and that Santa Marta must fall.
Morales sits close in Santa Marta and has drawn his outposts in.
The patio was flooded with glaring sunlight, and a confused din rose from every corner of Santa Marta.
After this, he destroyed some other villages, and then proceeded to Santa Marta, which he likewise burnt.
The story of the exploit is merely a repetition of what happened at Santa Marta.
These islands were generally uninhabited, but on the 22nd of May he came to one to which he gave the name of Santa Marta.
They must have come from Santa Marta, at the least; perhaps from Cartagena.

INANAU DIO-RE SEARCHLAB strewn with guitars, Dan Barry and his colleagues at the Dublin Institute of Tech- nology fiddle with a computerized tool that can comb the
Irish Traditional Music Archive and locate a jig by its tempo
or other traits. An Irish company has already licensed the
technology, and the researchers are hoping other companies
will follow suit.
Across town, on University College Dublin's sprawlingcampus, Emmeline Hill, a rising-star geneticist, devotes oneday a week to her own commercial venture, a year-old univer-sity start-up company called Equinome. It sells a blood testto locate the "speed gene" in thoroughbreds.
A COLLEGEDEGREEis a big purchase. It is also a mysterious one. In many cas- es, families don't know the bottom-line
price they will pay at a particular college until
the financial-aid award letter arrives, often mere
weeks before their son or daughter must make
a decision about where to enroll. Even then, deciphering the letter to determine out-of-pocket
costs can be tricky.
A new federal rule is supposed to change
that. It will require colleges to post net-price
calculators on their Web sites, showing the
cost of attendance and an estimate of what a
family would actually pay after all grants. It's
difficult to find anyone who dislikes the rule's
basic intent, and just as difficult to find someone who thinks compliance will be straightforward.
As colleges prepare for the new rule, which
goes into effect next october, they must determine whether to use a template from the
federal government, work with a vendor, or
create a calculator in-house and make a host
of technical decisions about how it will work.
But the biggest decision they face may be a
philosophical one: should they create a simple tool or one that is more accurate but also
more complicated?
The answer to that question will determine
not only how a college designs its calculator,
but also what kind of experience prospective students and parents will have when they
use it. officials at many colleges have come
to see the net-price calculator as something
that could make a big difference in their admissions outcomes, rather than a routine mat-

I'm a Libra. Libras don't fight. We're peacemakers.
(On a resisting arrest charge.)
Hmmm... I can sort of see a voir dire on that. "You mentioned you read newspapers, how about your horoscope? Do you read your horoscope regularly?" "And you mentioned that you're single. Have you ever dated someone, or not dated someone, because of their sign?"
Or, what about using it as a reputation for peacefulness? I could bring in an astrologer as both an expert witness and a character witness?
All I know is that from this point forward, I will always check the birthdate of my prostitution clients.
"But Judge, of course she's not guilty, she's a Virgo... the virgin!"

At special dinner on Friday, December 29, 2006, held for leading Bali tourism figures hosted by the Governor of Bali at his official residence, the launch of a one-year branding exercise for Bali was introduced by the blue-ribbon team of marketing and branding experts.Taking inspiration from the successful branding campaigns conducted by India, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand - the Bali Branding Team has begun a series of intensive interviews with tourism stakeholders and players from key markets to obtain insights and consensus that will eventually result in an effective branding for Bali. Speaking to the Indonesian-language Tempo Interaktif, Gede Nurjaya, the Chief of the Bali Tourism Authority, said, "We intend to accommodate all the needs of Bali tourism."According to a member of the Bali Branding Team, Sumardy, branding is not merely a logo or advertising concept. He explained that branding must posses an internal strength in close alignment with the destination; adding branding should encompass commerce, industry, services as well as tourism.In the course of the Bali Branding Team's initial assignment, a Bali Brand Equity Federation, based on the Indian model, will be establish for the management and safekeeping of Bali's brand and product identity.

An erection is the scientific term of a state in which the penis fills with blood and becomes rigid.
An erection occurs when the mind gets a sign that intimate action is taking place or thoughts spring up in the mind about sexually stimulating activities. The mind so sends more blood to the penis. This extra blood builds up in the spongy cells of the penis and causes it to get hard in preparation for insertion into a vagina.
Erection is caused by an increased flowing of blood to the penis and by a powerful reduction in the outflow. Muscles around the penis loosen in order to permit the blood into the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum, while contraction of new muscles reduces the outflow. As the tubular structures take complete with blood, the penis expands in both length and girth.
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the failure to achieve erection under conditions of stress. This system interferes with the signals sent by the parasympathetic nervous system, which is actually responsible for activating the erections.
The inability to have an erection suitable for intercourse is called as impotence. It can be a result of an injury secondary to radiation therapy, surgical resection of the prostate, hormonal deprivation therapy, or other aspects of neurological, vascular or disease processes.
A less known fact is that erections can occur even after death, due to increased pressure in the penis from sinking fluids or the accumulation of gases.

Compulsory retirement – is it lawful? This is a particularly thorny question for lawyers reaching compulsory retirement age, as well as for the law firms they work for. The stakes should not be underestimated. Get it wrong and it could potentially lead to a massive age discrimination claim.
While in other types of dispute lawyers are often as reputationally risk averse as their firms, when it comes to age discrimination dismissals it is a different story. With compensation representing potential career loss of earnings, an unwillingly retired partner may feel they have nothing left to lose but everything to gain.
Although the national default retirement age of 65 has been abolished, the position going forward remains uncertain. This is because, while dismissing someone at a given age is clearly discriminatory, it can still be lawful if it is "objectively justified" under the UK Equality Act and the European directive our laws derive from.
In its ruling in Fuchs v Land Hessen (2011), the Court of Justice of the EU helped provide some clarification. While not definitive, the ruling sets out factors relevant to assessing individual cases.
The long-running case of Seldon v Clarkson Wright & Jakes is due to come before the Supreme Court in January, when the Fuchs ruling will be interpreted and applied to the circumstances of a law firm partner retired compulsorily at 65.
Objective justification is a two-stage test. The measure needs to have a legitimate aim and be proportionate to that aim, meaning not going beyond what is appropriate
and necessary to achieve that. National authorities have to find the right balance in each case. The most controversial aspect of the Court of Appeal's judgment in Seldon was the idea that it was a legitimate aim to use retirement to spare failing partners the indignity of expulsion for performance management, which contributed to a congenial and supportive culture at a law firm.
Able, intelligent, older lawyers who want to continue working will hope that the Supreme Court will seize the opportunity to dispel the notion that there is a strong link between someone's age and their ability to do a job. This was, after all, just the type of stereotypical myth that the legislation was brought in to combat.
In Fuchs the court did consider that avoiding capability disputes could be relevant, finding that "to encourage the recruitment and promotion of young people, to improve personnel management and thereby to prevent possible disputes concerning employees' fitness to work beyond a certain age, while at the same time seeking to provide a high-quality justice service, can constitute a legitimate aim".
That, of course, is only the first step. National courts must scrutinise the particular circumstances carefully to assess justification in each case.
And the circumstances were certainly very particular in Fuchs. It concerned state prosecutors in Germany, who are required to retire at 65. Despite that requirement, it is possible for holders of the post to gain an extension to age 68 and then take on another related post with no age limit. More pertinently, state prosecutors were then able to retire on a very generous pension equal to 72 per cent of full salary.
Those factors will apply very rarely in private practice, particularly in relation to partners' pension arrangements, which in most cases are nonexistent.
Seldon also may not provide a complete answer, since what is relevant to objective justification for a small firm in Kent will not necessarily apply to magic circle, national or boutique firms. Older partners and lawyers concerned about compulsory retirement are best advised to tot up the likely losses and assess critically the justifications on the actual specific circumstances, since it seems we will be looking at these on a case-by-case basis.

So after a long discussion with DH we've decided to use the middle name Sindy after my mum. It's not a name we particularly like but for a few reasons we've decided against variations/alternatives to honour her.
Our front runner first name was Phoebe but it definitely doesn't work with Sindy so now we are on the hunt for new first names!
Her big sister is Alyssa Mae (short surname) and we are looking for names outside the top 10 but not too unusual.

Camp FAQs
The Basics
What is your age range?
Children must be age 5 (entering kindergarten) through age 10.
How much does camp cost?
Camp is $345 per week for non-members and $320 per week for members. This cost includes two vegetarian snacks per day, a camp T-shirt, and a Magic Key. We do offer limited financial aid based on need. If you think your family qualifies for financial aid, please email the Education Director or call 510-452-2259.
What are your camp hours?
The camp day lasts from 9-5 and we do NOT have a part-day program. We ask that our youngest campers have had experience being separated from their parents. We reserve the right to charge $1 per minute for late pick-up.
Is there before and after care?
Yes, before care is from 8-9 and after care is from 5-6 (There is no after care on Fridays). The cost is $40 for before care and $32 for after care for the entire week. We reserve the right to charge $1 per minute for late pick-up.
Who are your director and teachers?
Our director is Fairyland's year-round education director, Shana Barchas, who is a former elementary school teacher and elementary school guidance counselor. Our teachers are chosen for their significant experience with children, enthusiasm for play and pretend, and vibrant, compassionate personalities. All camp staff has been background checked.
The Big Picture
What is the camp's philosophy?
Camp should be a place where kids can have the time of their lives while growing socially, emotionally, intellectually, and creatively.
Why does every week have a theme?
We incorporate our themes into almost everything because they have so much play value. The superheroes make capes and wear them every day… The time travelers build extravagant time machines… And the pirates have to prove they're honest sailors or walk the plank!
What do you do all day at camp?
Our whirlwind of activity can be divided into three categories:
- Park Exploration – Hit the rides, slides, Jack and Jill Hill, use a magic key, climb the rigging on the pirate ship, and dig in the sand at Play Island.
- Activities – These workshops involve the horticulture, animal, and puppetry specialists, as well as arts and crafts and unforgettable thematic experiences.
- Pretend – We make up plays using our original Play Creation Vision, which incorporates pretending, group brainstorming, and practicing for the Friday show.
How about the plays?
Our hilarious plays are created by the children. We start with the theme and use our imaginations and teamwork to come up with one-of-a-kind performances. Plays take place every Friday at 4:30, and family and friends are encouraged to come!
Who does well at Fairyland camp?
The only things your child needs to thrive at Fairyland Camp are a lively imagination and readiness for action-packed eight hour days!
How about children with special needs?
We have found that children with special needs, including learning differences, autism, or physical disabilities, tend to be very successful at camp when we have information beforehand. In addition, our education director is a former school counselor and can read SSTs, IEPs, and 504 plans, which we welcome you to share.
How do you incorporate social and emotional learning into camp?
All camp staff are trained in conflict resolution and are committed to helping children resolve their differences with words. We consciously work to create a caring community of adults and children who treat each other with respect and are ready to make new friends. Taking turns, cooperation, sharing, and being a good sport are continuously reinforced, and we take time at the end of each week for the children to share their appreciations of each other.
How do I register my child?
Our 2017 summer camp season is sold out. If you're interested in a week of camp that is currently sold out, you can put your child on a waiting list by emailing our Education Director. Please give your child's name, your email address, your phone number and the session you'd like.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash, and cashier's checks.
How will I know if my child is registered?
We will email you a confirmation within 5 days. Please tell us if you want this sent by mail or fax instead of email.
Can I request that my child be in a group with a friend or sibling?
We group by age. If you want your child to be in the same group with someone else, you must indicate this when you register online. We create the groups in advance of the beginning of camp, so making a request on the first day is not workable.
Thank you for your interest in Children's Fairyland Summer Day Camp! Please do not hesitate to email the Education Director, Shana, for any reason, or call 510-452-2259.

Turning an iPad into a one-trick e-reading pony may seem counter-intuitive. After all, your iPad can take on lots of tasks from surfing the Web to marshaling an army of angry birds. Why limit yourself to just one task, even if that task is as pleasurable as sitting down with a good book?

Because, try as you might, you simply cant ignore the other tantalizing distractions your iPad has to offer, and stripping those out will help you lose yourself in a good read. Because youve upgraded to a newer model, and youre not ready to recycle that old iPad just yet. And if you happen to use an original iPad because your devices future is about to get a lot more limited. iOS 6 will introduce a lot of new features when it arrives this falland your original iPad wont be able to handle any of them, as the forthcoming iOS update wont run on your first-generation tablet.
Heres the good news: You dont have to do anything fancy to convert an old iPad into a dedicated e-reader. But if you take some time to better customize your older iPad, you can take it from a merely capable e-reading device to a top-notch one.
Is it worth it?
You can buy a dedicated e-reader like Amazons Kindle for as little as $79. Does it make sense to use your original iPad, for which you paid at least $500 as an e-reader? Obviously, one argument in the old iPads favor is the fact that you own it already.
But a Kindle or similar e-Ink reader does sport some advantages of its own: Such a device is considerably lighterless than half a pound, versus almost a pound and a halfmaking it easier to hold one-handed. And some users find that the e-Ink screen is easier on the eyes for extended reading jags when compared to the iPads LCD screen.
The thriftier among us may balk at plunking down the better part of a Benjamin on a new e-reader when they already have a serviceable tablet from Apple. And while some elements of the reading experience may be superior on a Kindle or Nook, the iPad certainly offers some advantages of its own, like its speed, color display, and support for multitouch.
Configuring the iPad
Any iPad, of course, can function as an e-reader. But if your goal is to make the iPad a dedicated reader, there are some settings you ought to consider tweakingmostly to minimize distractions. A Kindle wont pop up alerts or try to capture your attention; with a little effort, your iPad wont either.
Well talk about which apps you will want on your e-reading iPad shortly, but first lets talk about which apps you probably wont need: Any others. If this iPad is to function successfully as an e-reader, it cant hurt to remove Angry Birds, Words With Friends, or Facebook. If youre hesitant to remove perfectly good apps that you just might want at some unspecified time in the future, at least consider combining all those apps into an iOS folder: That folder icon is far less tempting to tap on than, say, the silhouetted linksman gracing the icon of Super Stickman Golf.
Once youve removed or hidden away potential app distractions, make sure that even the apps youre not ready (or, in the case of iOSs built-in apps, not able) to part with wont distract you, either. Head over to the Settings app and tap on Notifications. iOS 5 lacks a global switch for turning off notifications, so its a good thing you deleted a bunch of apps one paragraph agonow you have less work on the Notifications settings screen.
To prevent your iPads other apps from interrupting reading time, tap on each in turn, and set the Alert Style to None for every single app. Now, any apps that update in the background wont splash a banner or alert across the screen when they do so.
Your other option would be to enable Airplane mode whenever youre readingalso from the Settings appwhich would prevent your iPad from accessing the Internet. Its a fine, battery saving choice, but then you have to remember to turn Airplane mode off again when you want to download more books.
While youre in Settings, also consider removing any email or calendar accounts still saved in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section; if this iPad is for reading, theres no sense letting those apps gobble up extra bandwidth and battery. And if you havent already, under General, ensure that the Side Switch is set to Lock Rotation and not Mute; youll need the former option far more often if you move around as you read.
Which apps you need
Put bluntly: Get the apps you need to read the content you want. If youd like your dedicated e-reading iPad for books, grab Amazons Kindle app and Apples iBooks app. There are plenty of other e-reading apps; unless you already own books for another platform (like Kobo or Nook), theres no need to pursue those.
Devoted Kindle readers may also want to install the Kindle Cloud Reader Web app; it integrates the Kindle bookstore directly, which the App Store app isnt allowed to do. Alternatively, you could stick with the iOS app and simply install the iPad Kindle Store Web app instead.
You may want to read content from other sources, for which you should of course download the right app. If you plan to use your e-reading iPad to read long-form content you encounter around the Web, youll want an app like Instapaper ( Macworld rated 4.5 out of 5 mice ), Pocket ( Macworld rated 3.5 out of 5 mice ), or Readability. And if you envision using this iPad to discover Web content youd like to read, consider installing apps like Zite ( Macworld rated 4 out of 5 mice ) or Flipboard ( Macworld rated 4.5 out of 5 mice ), apps that assemble content from assorted sources you define into reading-optimized, magazine-style layouts. (If youre looking for more choices, Macworld looked at the options for personalized news apps a w file back.)
Should you wish to use your iPad for true magazine reading, navigate the App Stores Newsstand section to find your favorite publications. Newsstand-compatible publications will appear in the Newsstand folder on your iPad, and the latest issues download automatically behind-the-scenes on the device. You can also consider subscription to all-you-can read plans like the one offered by newcomer Next Issue, or the Newsstand alternative Zinio.
The iPads backlight provides sufficient lighting; as a result, you wont need to spring for a lamp or book light as you might with another companys e-reader. If youre reading in the dark, say before sleep beckons, you can dial down your iPads brightness nearly all the wayand potentially choose the nighttime reading mode for the app youre usingand still see just fine without blinding your retinas.
One accessory that might come in handy is some sort of lap stand, should your arms get tired long before your eyes. Weve previously recommended the Rain Design iRest Lap Stand ( Macworld rated 4.5 out of 5 mice ); another very good option (and one that can also work as a laptop lap desk) is the Prop n Go.
Both stands can prop up your iPad in either orientation, and can angle the tablet so that you neednt hold it up yourself. Theyre great on tabletops, or laps while seated, or on torsos in bed.

Acerca del creador
I trained as a technical illustrator producing b&w line or full colour airbrushed illustrations for a research laboratory in the south east of England. Soon after my training was complete I made the bold decision to go freelance. Twenty five years later I am still freelance, though I have had to diversify and learn a few new skills along the way. I have been commissioned by many design and advertising agents enabling me to work on a diverse range of print based projects from the design of brochures, leaflets and magazines through to cutaway illustrations of complex machinery, 3d models and rendering. In recent years I have been working with a magazine publisher working on some amazing photography for luxury car, yacht, motorcycle and jewellery brands. It has been my task to take images one step further than those which were recorded by the camera. I am also a visiting lecturer at Herts University teaching degree students to realise their full potential with Adobe products.

The game scheduled between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins for tonight at TD Garden has been postponed officially by the NHL due to unsafe conditions caused by a winter storm in the area.
The game will be made up at an as of yet undetermined date.
From Damien Cristodero of the Tampa Bay Times:
Lightning just got word tonight's game with Bruins in Boston will not be played.
— Damian Cristodero (@LightningTimes) February 9, 2013
Also via Joe Haggerty of Comcast Sportsnet:
Its official. Bruins/Lightning game postponed because "remains too hazardous for fans, security personnel & TD Garden staff to get to arena"
— Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) February 9, 2013
The announcement bails the Lightning out of a back-to-back situation, as they were scheduled to continue the ongoing road trip against the New York Rangers tomorrow night after playing the Bruins tonight.
Instead, we will likely see a much better rested and prepared Lightning squad face off against the Blueshirts tomorrow night as they try to get back in the winning column following a three-game losing streak.
The puck drops on Sunday night at 7:30 PM EST.Tags: Boston Bruins, Hockey, NHL, Postponed, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay Lightning

Photographic Illusions
It is very easy nowadays to manipulate images digitally, and whether we are looking at a magazine or the latest film at the cinema, we know there is likely to have been a lot of digital manipulation of the images that we see.
This article is about a particular type of illusion that was actually created 'in the camera', back in the days when cameras used silver emulsions as the method of capturing images. In order to take an image, the shutter had to open, in order to allow light to fall onto the negative. There were different shutter mechanisms, but a common mechanism was the so-called focal plane shutter, which was placed just in front of the photographic negative. Typically these involved a slit moving across the negative. Often you would want the slit to move quickly, so that you got a short exposure, allowing you to freeze the action. However there was a particular camera which was used for taking group photographs, where the slit moved across the negative quite slowly. At the same time the camera panned left to right, allowing you to capture a very wide group without needing a wide angle lens. I well remember this type of camera being used to take photographs of school groups back in the 1960s.
Now because it takes some time for the camera to pan from the left hand side of the group around to the right hand side, it allows a person to appear in the photograph more than once! Basically, if you are placed at the far left hand side of the photograph, you wait until the camera has moved off you, and you then drop down behind the group, run round to the other end, and pop up quickly, ready for the camera to capture you again as it reaches the right hand side of the group. When Tim was a student at King's College London back in the 1960s, he posed for a departmental photograph where one of the students did just that, as Tim demonstrates in this film.
The famous photographer Robert Doisneau (1912 - 1994) used a camera where the slit moved not only vertically but also very slowly, in order to capture this dancing couple who had been placed on a turntable. As the photograph was taken and the slit slowly moved across the negative, the turntable was rotated. As a result, the couple have rotated 360 degrees between their feet and their heads, and have also become impossibly entwined.
Finally, this picture was taken by the photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue in 1912. It shows a racing car passing a small group of spectators. He was also using a camera where the shutter moved from top to bottom. The distortions are fascinating, and are part of the charm of the image. However the man who is watching from the side of the track seems to be leaning to the left, while the wheel of the car is distorted over to the right. What is happening here? In fact, Lartigue is panning his camera from left to right, and this movement, in conjunction with the moving slit, is causing the man to appear to lean to the left. But it seems that he is not panning fast enough to keep up with the car, which is therefore moving to the right while he is making the exposure. Therefore the wheel of the car leans over to the right. An extraordinary picture, where much of the power derives from these distortions created within the camera.
Here is a site that explains the Lartigue photograph in more detail.
And this site talks more about the distortions that can be created with focal plane shutters.

When I was a kid. . .
My first dog was a German shepherd mix named Sally who came to us from the animal shelter. Her problem was that she loved chickens (live ones) and we had a lot of trouble keeping her off the neighbors farm. I wrote a short story about her that appears in the book Because Of Shoe, short stories about dogs edited by Ann Martin.
We had puppies and kittens every spring (people didn't spay or neuter their animals like we do now), and we were always looking for people to give them good homes.
When I was six, my father got me my first bike at the Salvation Army. It was a man's 28" Schwinn, much too big for me. But when he put me on the seat, I rode right off down the street.Ā
Behind our house was a big hill and behind that, a huge corn field that we built forts in. Beyond that was an apple orchard and a pond that we skated on every winter. My dream was to be in the ice capades. My cousin, Linda, who was my age and lived with us on and off for years had the same dream. We both got shiny white Riddell skates for the Christmas we were ten. I loved them so much I wanted to sleep with them.
For one dollar, my father could buy us all double-dip ice cream cones at a nearby ice cream parlor. I always got fresh blackberry. I can still taste it!
I was the fastest runner in the sixth grade. Not the fastest girl, the fastest runner.
In sixth grade I was the class "artist", but really all I could draw was lady's faces. After we went to see The Mikado in New York City, I was asked to draw the face of the princess in the story. I drew the faces for my two friends who were given the handmaidens to draw, but when I tried to out do myself by drawing a prettier face on my character, I ruined the whole project by wearing a hole through it, trying to get my face to be the most beautiful. I think I learned a lesson there!

Valerie Hobbs did not set out to write novels for young adults, but ever since critics praised her 1995 coming-of-age story How Far Would You Have Gotten If I Hadn't Called You Back?, she has been a respected author of fiction for teens. At the rate of approximately one book per year, Hobbs has crafted character-driven tales about young people on the verge of adulthood, forced to make serious decisions about the direction their lives will take. Often the young protagonists are confronted with circumstances beyond their control--the death of a guardian or a boyfriend, parental divorce, or physical disability. How they deal with these challenges forms the core of Hobbs's works. Horn Book contributor Jeannine M. Chapman observed that in Hobbs's novels, "the confusion of adolescence is truthfully rendered." A Publishers Weekly reviewer likewise credited Hobbs with "a keen understanding of adolescent moods and concerns."
Hobbs keenly recalls the defining moment of her own young adulthood. When she was in high school, her parents relocated the family from New Jersey to California, separating her not only from friends and beloved activities, but also from the urban surroundings in which she had grown up. This experience provides the catalyst for Hobbs's debut novel, How Far Would You Have Gotten If I Hadn't Called You Back? The story of a young woman with a love of both racing cars and the men who drive them, the book has drawn praise from critics for its original and sensitive portrait of a teenager struggling to find herself amidst a sea of contradictory influences. The title comes from an expression often used by the author's father; the plot comes from the incidents in her own childhood that probably prompted her father's question.
In How Far Would You Have Gotten If I Hadn't Called You Back?, sixteen-year-old Bronwyn Lewis seeks to carve an unconventional life for herself. Growing up in the late 1950s, in a generation where young women her age chose role models like Doris Day and Donna Reed and looked forward to marriage and a future spending hours in the kitchen, Bronwyn prefers to be behind the wheel of a dragster. Like her creator, Hobbs, the fictional Bronwyn has moved from urban New Jersey to rural California at age fifteen. Her interests and hobbies are different than those of the teens in her new town, and fitting in at her new high school has been almost impossible. The fact that her family is now poor and her out-of-work dad has already attempted suicide makes Bronwyn feel even more withdrawn. Finally, friendship with Lanie, a pretty but poor young woman from the "wild side" of town, allows Bronwyn a way in to a peer group. She falls behind in school, dumps her interest in playing classical piano for rock 'n' roll, and starts dating, drinking, and hanging out with the drag-racing crowd. A sexual fling with the much older racer known as J. C. is interrupted by a budding love affair with the mature and far more suitable Will, but when Will leaves for his first year at West Point, Bronwyn returns to her old ways, with tragic consequences.
Calling Bronwyn "a believable and realistic voice," Joel Shoemaker praised How Far Would You Have Gotten in his review in School Library Journal, noting that the novel's "themes are subtly evoked and life's lessons are learned the hard way." Booklist reviewer Stephanie Zvirin called How Far Would You Have Gotten "an enticing coming-of-age story," asserting that Hobbs "manipulates the elements (including the sex) with energy, confidence, and surprise."
How Far Would You Have Gotten was not written with a young adult audience in mind, although the novel was later marketed for YA readers. Instead, Hobbs wanted to write down her personal recollections of her teen years, complete with her bout with personal tragedy and her own growing awareness of her maturing attitudes. "I think it was probably best that I didn't write [the novel] for young adults," Hobbs told Nathalie Op de Beeck in Publishers Weekly, "because I didn't know enough to pull punches. I just wanted to say it the way it is, the way people forget that it is. I always see those years as fraught with danger."
Hobbs's second novel, Get It while It's Hot. Or Not, focuses on friendships and teen sexual relationships. Megan, Mia, Elaine, and Kit have been fast friends since eighth grade, but as they begin their junior year of high school they find themselves beset with problems. Kit is pregnant and confined to bed, and Megan is being pressured for sex by a boyfriend. Megan's response to her situation is to write a piece on sexual issues for the school newspaper--but the principal bars its publication. According to Marcia Mann in Voice of Youth Advocates, readers of Get It while It's Hot. Or Not "relate to Megan's struggle to define the boundaries of friendship and her responsibilities to her family and community." Janice M. Del Negro in the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books observed that young adult readers would likely find the "friends, group dynamics and the contemporary themes appealing." And Horn Book reviewer Lauren Adams called the novel "well paced and highly readable, taking on serious issues with humor and intelligence."
Both Carolina Crow Girl and Stefan's Story explore the lives of two unique individuals. Carolina, the heroine of Carolina Crow Girl, lives in an old school bus with her single mother and baby sister. When Carolina saves a crow that has been abandoned by its mother, her enthusiasm for the fledgling leads to friendship with Stefan Millington Crouch, a wealthy boy who is confined to a wheelchair. Stefan's family offers Carolina a chance to escape her poverty, but just as she realizes her crow will need its freedom, she rejects the offer and remains with her mother. Booklist contributor Lauren Peterson found Carolina Crow Girl to be "a deeply moving story with rich, complex characters," and a Publishers Weekly critic deemed it "sensitive in its explorations of friendships."
In Stefan's Story, Stefan travels by himself to Oregon to attend Carolina's mother's wedding and finds that his feelings for Carolina are deepening from friendship into something more serious. For her part, Carolina is embroiled in a controversy that pits local logging interests against environmentalists and fishermen as preparations are made to cut down an old-growth forest. Hobbs does not settle for easy answers in this novel, as Stefan confronts his disabilities and Carolina sees both sides of the logging dispute. According to Cindy Darling Codell in School Library Journal, the author "gives proper balance to the economic pressures of the issue." Writing for Booklist, Hazel Rochman commented, "The wonder of this story is the fusion of the small things with exciting action."
Hobbs explores the plight of urban runaways in Charlie's Run. Charlie, always a model son, decides to run away from home in protest of his parents' impending separation. He intends his absence to be short, but when he falls in with the volatile Doo, he finds himself in Los Angeles, living on the streets. A Publishers Weekly reviewer praised the novel as "an emotionally complex rendition of a familiar story," adding that Hobbs's "energetic, honest storytelling" moves the story along. Connie Tyrrell Burns in School Library Journal likewise admired the "fast-moving plot, complex and appealing characters" in a book she characterized as "a sure winner." A Horn Book critic noted that Charlie's Run "is a compelling story, convincingly told."
Tender once again addresses the issues of lifestyle change and adjustment to a new household. Olivia Trager is uprooted when her beloved grandmother dies. Forced to move from Manhattan to rural California, Olivia must live with a father who abandoned her at birth. Gradually Olivia's fury gives way to acceptance, particularly after she begins to help her father with his deep-sea diving expeditions. School Library Journal correspondent Francisca Goldsmith liked Olivia's strength and personality, adding that the book draws readers in "immediately and inextricably." In her Booklist review, Debbie Carton found Hobbs's characters "wonderfully human and fully realized," commending the story for its "loving undertones that will linger."
Hobbs was a college student during the Vietnam War era, and her brother was drafted to serve in the conflict. Sonny's War once again draws upon some personal experience as Hobbs crafts a tale of a teenager whose brother is in Southeast Asia while she participates in antiwar protests. Once again Hobbs delves into the morally complex issues surrounding the Vietnam War, as young Cory becomes disillusioned by the actions of a beloved schoolteacher who goes too far during a violent protest. The war's toll on individuals is also portrayed, as Cory's brother returns with wounds both physical and psychological. Miriam Lang Budin noted in School Library Journal that the novel reveals "the ambiguities and tensions driving the nation and individual citizens during this difficult time." In her starred review for Horn Book, Martha V. Parravano called Sonny's War "a convincing, affecting novel," noting that the central character "is as real as real, completely believable in all her teenage vulnerability and sharp-eyed observation."
In an interview with Authors and Artists for Young Adults (AAYA), Hobbs said she writes about growing up under pressure because she wants young adults to know that they are not alone in their troubles. "I think I write to share some feelings I've had and some feelings I think a lot of people have, so when they read them there might be a moment of recognition when they say 'I'm not the only one who feels this way,' or 'I'm OK, and I can get through this,'" she said. "I remember the teenage years being very stressful and thinking I was the only one going through certain things. When I talk to teenagers now, they seem to feel that way, too. I think it gives you courage to see that somebody else went through similar situations and made it to the other side. I realize that's a part of why I write--to share common feelings."
For many years Hobbs taught at the University of California, Santa Barbara, while also writing her books. More recently she has cut down on her teaching duties in order to have more time to work on novels. She also enjoys meeting students at seminars and school visits. In her interview, Hobbs told AAYA: "We haven't really wanted to think about what teenagers really know and what they really think about. It is a natural tendency to want to protect them from a lot of things, but they are adults now. Everything is so out in the open; there isn't anything that they don't know and don't talk about. To not have it in literature seems hypocritical to say the least."

Kelly Osbourne Unleashes Twitter Hell on Ex
That old saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" still applies today as Kelly Osbourne's ex, Luke Worrall, is finding out.
In what Kelly claims will be her last Twitter salvo for a while, she publicly detailed her heartbreak of finding out how Worrall, who she dubs a "piece of s—," has been sleeping around despite frequent attempts to get back together with her.
Just found something out that has hurt my feelings so bad :( and christmas was going so well … What do you do when someone lies in the darkest way and you try to tell the person that was lied to but they don't believe you? I think the best part of this situation is that I have been painted out to be the crazy one when all I did was tell the honest to God truth … Luke Worrall is the biggest piece of s**, he has been trying to get back with me, I only came home for Xmas to see him. Meanwhile, he has been f***ing hundreds of girls…behind my back … All he did was use me. All girls, beware of @Luke_worral he is a using C***! He used me for my money and a free ride. He is lucky I am not spilling the whole truth about what he did!
Miss O continued, going on to say that Luke "is the worst thing that ever happened to me" and that she "will be too good for him."
Osbourne and Worrall split in July after rumors of Worrall's infidelity. The two were engaged to be married.
Kelly then wrote that she'd be logging "off Twitter for a while … never felt [heartbroken] like this in my life."
At least she signed off with a bang.

When David Harkey initially began his classes in civil engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, he had no idea that his life would one day be dedicated to the pursuit of safer highways. He was planning on a career as a structural engineer. During his senior year, he was taking a class under former HSRC Director Dr. Doug Robertson, who encouraged him to pursue a career in transportation engineering. This career path has led him all over the world, conducting research studies from the rural roads of Alabama to the roundabouts of Australia and finally, to Chapel Hill, where he will settle in as the Center's fourth director since its establishment in 1965.
Throughout his 14 years with HSRC, Harkey has served as the principal investigator on several studies for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as well as the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. He has been working to improve highway safety through applied research for all modes of surface transportation – cars, large trucks, pedestrians and bicyclists. Many of his studies have produced results for policy makers, while others have resulted in tools and software for practitioners.
Harkey currently serves as the principal investigator on the FHWA Highway Safety Information System as well as NCHRP projects related to the development of accident modification factors and improved guidance for the installation and operation of accessible pedestrian signals for the visually impaired.
When asked what he envisions for the future of HSRC, Harkey responded, "I plan to build upon the strong reputation HSRC has developed over the past 40 years and expand the Center to do more to serve the state, to help meet national goals that have been set to reduce fatalities on our roadways and to look for opportunities internationally where we can have an impact on global road safety."
Harkey has already begun international collaboration through his efforts to establish a joint international research consortium and to launch a staff exchange program with the Institute for Road Safety Research in The Netherlands.
Said Vice Chancellor of Research and Economic Development Tony Waldrop, "This appointment is based upon the unanimous recommendation of the search committee as well as my own belief that David is extremely well qualified for this important position."
Harkey has been serving as HSRC's interim director during the selection process, and previously acted as deputy director of the Center. Prior to his arrival at the Center in 1993, Harkey served as director of the traffic engineering and safety division of The Scientex Corporation.
The staff of HSRC welcomes Harkey to his new role and looks forward to the future of the Center under his leadership.

Japanese brewer Kirin has bitten the bullet on its $3.7 billion dairy business in Australia, slashing almost $500 million from the value of National Foods in a tacit admission that it paid too much for the business three years ago.
Kirin announced last night it had written down the value of National Foods brands and goodwill by ¥38.8 billion ($485 million).
Combined with the accelerated amortisation of National Foods' goodwill, the write-downs reduce the carrying value of Kirin's Australian dairy investments by more than $800 million .
Kirin said the write-downs, which would contribute to a 71 per cent decline in its net income this year, reflected difficult trading conditions, especially in the white milk and juice sectors, and followed a strategic review of its core brands.
"Conditions in both the dairy and juice sectors have eroded since Kirin purchased National Foods in 2007 and Dairy Farmers in 2008 and remain very challenging for farmers, processors and brand owners alike," the company said.
However, the write-down confirms the view that Kirin paid too much for National Foods when it bought the business from an associate, San Miguel, in November 2007. The acquisition was the beginning of a $6 billion wave of Japanese investment in the Australian food and beverage industries. Between 2007 and 2009 Kirin, Asahi and Suntory spent more than $6 billion on assets such as National Foods, Frucor Beverages and Schweppes, taking advantage of the strong yen and the lack of international buyers to expand outside their home turf.
However, the Japanese paid hefty multiples for the businesses and have yet to make satisfactory returns on their investments.
Kirin paid $2.8 billion or 13 times earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation for National Foods, $1 billion more than San Miguel outlaid after a bidding war with Fonterra in 2005.
A year later, in December 2008, National Foods bought NSW-based co-op Dairy Farmers for $884 million, paying 12.8 times earnings to create Australia's largest dairy foods and juice producer.
National Foods has realised synergy benefits of about $120 million since the merger with Dairy Farmers. But earnings slumped in the year after the San Miguel deal, when farm-gate milk prices soared and the company lost money on private label milk contracts.
National Foods managing director
Return on sales was just 1 per cent and return on capital invested was 1.9 per cent in 2008. In 2009 return on sales improved to 3 per cent and return on capital to 4.3 per cent.
Returns are expected to improve again this year, but Kirin said National Foods was still a long way from achieving acceptable margins.
"Input costs remain relatively high by historical standards and National Foods endures ongoing challenges to maintain adequate operating margins in a very competitive retail environment," it said.
Kirin has restructured the business over the last two years, closing two milk plants, and is in the midst of a review of its cheese operations.
Mr Reeves has flagged plans to expand into the non-alcoholic beverages market, increase sales of specialty cheese and yoghurt, and differentiate National Foods' milk brands from private-label milk. Private label sells at a 45 per cent discount to branded milk and accounts for 60 per cent of supermarket milk volumes.

Estate Planning Checklist
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
Estate Planning Checklist
If you are in the process of estate planning, you may find the many different aspects of it overwhelming. After all, when you're making an estate plan, you're trying to determine what will happen to everything you own after your death, and who will derive the greatest benefit from your assets, which you worked all your life to accumulate. Many decisions, none of them easy ones, must be made, and you might only have one chance to get it right.
What Should I Include in My Estate Planning Checklist?
Everybody's situation is different, so there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all estate plan. Likewise, it is impossible to make an estate planning checklist that is anything close to comprehensive. That being said, most estate plans have quite a few things in common, so this estate planning checklist includes things that you will almost certainly have to do to create an effective estate plan, but it by no means includes everything you'll have to do.
- Discuss your plans with your family: you should, obviously, make sure that your family (and other people with an interest in your estate plan) are fully informed of your plans, and have had an opportunity to give their input.
- Write a will: A will is usually the central component of an estate plan checklist. It is a document that, after your death, transfers legal ownership of your property to any beneficiaries you want. More importantly, it also allows you to state who you want to be the legal guardian of your children if they are still minors when you die.
- Health care directives: You should make a "living will," which is a document that lays out your wishes with respect to medical care, in case you later become unable to make such decisions. It is also important to discuss your healthcare preferences with your family beforehand, including your decision on when, and under what circumstances, you would wish to be taken off of life support, if it comes to that.
- Financial power of attorney: "Power of attorney" is a legal arrangement that allows someone to make certain decisions for you, on your behalf. You should grant power of attorney to a trusted friend or family member, so they can make financial and legal decisions on your behalf, if you become unable to. Obviously, you should discuss your wishes with this person beforehand, and make sure that you have your lawyer draft the power of attorney document so that it does not actually take effect until and unless you become incapacitated/
- Make your bank account "payable on death": A simple way to pass your money to your children (or any beneficiary you choose) upon your death is to make your bank account "payable on death." This is an agreement between you and your bank, under which ownership of your bank account will be transferred to a person of your choice upon your death.
How Can An Estate Planning Lawyer Help?
As you might imagine, there are many other things that you should do when making an estate plan. The first thing you should do is speak with a qualified and experienced estate planning attorney.

AS WELL as farewelling the blue versus red tribal rivalry that has underpinned V8 Supercars for so long, the season-ending Sydney 500 marks several other significant departures and changes.
Sunday's deciding 250-kilometre leg of the V8 grand finale on the streets of Sydney Olympic Park is the last race in the long-running battle between Ford's Falcon and Holden's Commodore.
After being the only cars in V8 racing since 1994, next year they'll be joined by Nissan Altimas and Mercedes-Benz E-Classes under the new car of the future rules.
It's the end of an epic era that defined the sport and fuelled its growth in popularity, playing on the traditional rivalry between the fiercely divided Lion and Blue Oval supporters.
The Sydney 500 is also the swansong for some of the drivers and significant sponsors, as well as marking a significant change of leadership in the sport and the possible final telecast by the Seven Network.
It could also be the beginning of the end for the Sydney event itself, with its future beyond next year in serious doubt.
Among the drivers who won't be back in 2013, the biggest name is Shane van Gisbergen, the fast-rising New Zealander is quitting V8 racing for unspecified ''personal reasons''.
Van Gisbergen, 23, regarded as a future V8 star, was last week released from his new three-year contract by Stone Bros Racing.
SBR is masterminding Mercedes-Benz's entry in partnership with Erebus Motorsport and the German car-maker's AMG performance and racing division, and the unscheduled retirement of its lead driver has led to speculation about his replacement.
SBR adopted a policy of ''no comment'' about the team's plans to replace its lead driver or the mystery surrounding the deep disenchantment of van Gisbergen.
The Sydney 500 will also be the final event of Vodafone's long-running sponsorship of newly recrowned V8 champion Jamie Whincup's dominating Triple Eight Holden team, ending a six-year association worth more than $30 million.
As a tribute to the partnership - which netted four V8 championships and four Bathurst 1000 victories - the Commodores of Whincup and Craig Lowndes are racing in special McLaren F1-style chrome liveries.
Triple Eight will be backed from next year by Red Bull. Another long-lasting relationship ending is Kelly Racing's loyalty to Holden.
The family team, whose principal partners and drivers Rick and Todd Kelly have raced Commodores for all of their V8 careers, is transforming into Nissan Motorsport next year.

e23 Euro car, 723 power help.....
Bimmerfest gang, fisrt, you guys and gals rule, i have had quite a few problems solved by reading the forums, and listening to what you have to say, but, i have a new adventure that i don't see anywhere on here, so hopefully the vast knowledge of the bimmerfest crew can help:
The backstory, this is a 1981 732i, "grey market" brought over from sweden by my wife's god father, he no longer lives here, or drives it, hasn't drove it for about 11 years, sitting in his garage, until he thought it would be a good idea to my father-in-law and i have it, to "get it going" again...... as you know, the 723 was never sold here, the motor never sold/serviced here, and the little documentation i have been able to get from germany is not a lot of help, as this motor didn't last very long in the BMW world. So, here goes:
1981 BMW 732i (e23)
Attempted revival after sitting in garage for 11 years.
Condition: About 140,000 miles on odometer. Starts and runs OK after installation of new Bosch fuel pump and filter. Engine responds to throttle when not under load (out of gear). However, it will not accelerate when driven. It appears that there is fuel starvation when the throttle is applied under load.
Checked fuel pressure at the rail--~28psi at idle. When driving pressure drops to under 10psi when throttle is applied and vacuum drops to near zero inches. Checked fuel pump by brief (very) crimp of hose and pressure rose to 70+psi. So pump seems OK.
Installed new fuel pressure regulator since pressure was somewhat low during initial test and some sludge was removed while being cleaned with carb cleaner.
Same reaction as with the original regulatorran fine in the garage but would not accelerate on the road and had the same pressure drop with throttle application.
Am I wrong in my belief that reduced vacuum should cause the regulator to increase in pressure in order to increase fuel flow thus causing acceleration? Why the pressure drop?
Please, any good ideas as to why the power just dies will help. We are not going to sink thousands into this car, but want ideas as to why this might be happening, just to have a fun car to play around with and maybe restore fully.
i hope you can help,

Today in History: American Poet Allen Ginsberg was Born2014-06-03 1 Share Tweet
Allen Ginsberg, one of the most influential American poets and leading figures of the Beat Generation, was born on this day in 1926. He would've been 88 years old.
New Jersey-native Irwin Allen Ginsberg was not only a renowned prolific writer and poet but also an activist, and these traits manifested early on in his life. In his teens, Ginsberg was said to be already aware of the world around him, even supposedly penning letters to The New York Times on issues such as politics and workers' rights. In high school he became exposed to the poetry of Walt Whitman, and in college he attended Columbia University, where he would meet fellow student Lucien Carr, who in turn would introduce him to Jack Kerouac, William S. Borroughs, and John Clellon Holmes – essentially the core of what would later be known as the Beat Generation.
Although poetry was practically his life, Ginsberg, after taking on odd jobs for some time to support himself, only dabbled in poetry full time in the mid-1950s. Shortly after, he wrote what would be his most celebrated work, the poem "Howl." At the time of its publication, however, "Howl" was deemed obscene for its numerous references to drugs and sex, both heterosexual and homosexual. An obscenity trial was held in 1957, which ended with Judge Clayton W. Horn ruling the poem as not obscene. Aside from "Howl," Ginsberg's most famous works include "Kaddish and Other Poems 1958-1960," "Reality Sandwiches," "Planet News 1961-1967," and "The Fall of America: Poems of these States 1956-1971."
As an activist, Ginsberg campaigned for free speech and gay rights, took part in protests against the Vietnam War, and campaigned for the plight of the Bangladeshi war victims, to name a few. Aside from writing, Ginsberg dabbled in photography and even worked with some of the most famous musical acts of the time, including The Clash, Sonic Youth, and Bono.
Ginsberg died on April 5, 1997 due to liver cancer in his home in Manhattan's East Village. He was surrounded by his closest family and friends, including his longtime partner Peter Orlovsky. Even though it's been years since, Ginsberg remains to inspire new generations of writers through his influential body of work.
