The classic masterpiece "The Scream" by Edvard Munch is a recognizable part of our popular culture.
In the painting, a figure is shown holding their hands up to the side of their face and screaming with their mouth wide open while standing on a wooden walkway. The swirling colours in the background seem to add to the anguish and distress. The image has been parodied in popular culture many times and has been reproduced on everything from posters to t-shirts to coffee mugs.
Now the painting has had the distinction of becoming one of the highest prices works of art in history. One of four original versions by the Norwegian painter has been auctioned off at a record-breaking £74 million.
The most famous paintings in the world are usually kept at museums. They are rarely sold and they are generally considered priceless. However, some works of art are owned in private collections and auctioned off. To own a work of art of this significant is very prestigious, so wealthy art collectors compete for the privilege and are willing to bid millions of pounds to hang the artwork in their own personal collection.
The price was determined after a 12 minute bidding war at the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale at Sotheby's in New York. This version of "The Scream" was owned by a Norwegian businessman whose father was a friend of the artist. The painting was originally created in 1885 and it is the only one of the four original versions which has a frame hand-painted by the artist himself. It also includes a poem by Munch which explains the meaning and the inspiration behind the painting.
The painting is the "defining image" of the Expressionist Art movement and in the past it has been the target of several high profile art thefts. A 1910 version of the painting was stolen from the Munch museum by masked gunmen in 2004.
Cezanne's Card Players Break the Scream Record
Of course, the record created by the sale of "The Scream" didn't last for very long and there has already been another painting which has sold for even more. "The Card Players" by Paul
Cezanne was sold for an amazing £159 million. This painting is considered to be one of the most important examples of Cezanne's work during the 1890s and a prelude to his final years.
Before these two paintings, the most expensive artwork to ever be sold at auction was a painting entitled "Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust" by Picasso. This painting was purchased at Christie's in New York in May 2010 for a total of £66.4 million.
The Other Most Expensive Paintings in the World
The scream is the most expensive painting ever to be sold, but what are some of the other priciest paintings? There have been several great works of art which have told for tens of millions of pounds to the highest bidder in art auctions all over the world.
Here are a few of the most expensive paintings ever sold in the world:
- "Boy With a Pipe (The Young Apprentice)" – by Pablo Picasso – £64.3 million
- "Massacre of the Innocents" – by Peter Paul Rubens – £49.4 million
- "Bal Du Moulin De La Gallete" – by Pierre-Auguste Renior – £48.3 million
- "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II" – by Gustav Klimt – £54.3 million
- "Dora Maar Au Chat" – by Pablo Picasso – £58.8 million
- "Le Bassin Aux Nympheas" – by Claude Monet – £49.7 million
- "Portrait of Dr Gachet" by Vincent Van Gogh – £51 million
These are just a few examples of some of the most expensive artworks ever sold in the history of the world.
When you see some of the prices that art collectors have paid for the most expensive paintings in the world, it comes as no surprise that they will have invested heavily in art insurance.

Mapex Armory Acoustic Drum Kit with 14 x 5.5 Tomahawk Snare, Magna Red, Black Fittings
The Mapex Armory AR628SFUBNV 22 x 18, 10,12,14,16 with Tomahawk Snare in Magna Red with Black Fittings has Hybrid Birch/Maple/Birch shells with new soniclear bearing edges which are designed for effortless tuning.
Main Features
- Hybrid Birch/Maple/Birch shells
- Soniclear bearing edge
- Soniclear suspension system
- Magna Red finish
- Read More
Mapex started the design of Armory with the idea that players want to spend more time playing and less time tuning their drums. The result is the SONIClear Bearing Edge, which increases the contact between the drumhead and shell and allows the head to sit flat on the edge, this produces a stronger and more centred pitch and makes the drums remarkably easy to tune.
The increased contact also enhances shell vibration, making the tonal nuances produced by different shell materials more prominent. The effect of the Armory Hybrid Shell, which uses a blend of maple and birch, is increased brilliance and projection on the rack toms and a fatter and darker punch from the floor toms and bass drum.

I've just moved in Vancouver and discovered this place while shopping on Broadway. It's a small but cosy bakery just across the street from Chapters at Granville, nicely decorated and with a couple of tables and chairs to enjoy your treat with a cup of coffee.
The original thing is that they sell exclusively tarts. The choice is surprisingly large, though, since they make both sweet and savoury tarts.
I tried the ham and cheese and my boyfriend, who's a vegetarian, had the feta, onions and sundried tomatoes tart. Both were delicious and fresh, and although we thought they looked kind of small, we were full once we were finished!
We also tasted the sweet tarts: I didn't know the classic Canadian butter tart, but I am a fan of their recipe! The fruit one is also very good, and if you like chocolate (who doesn't?), they make a tart filled with chocolate mousse.
Apparently, they make everything themselves (the pastry and the filling) and in small quantities. That's why they don't have always the same tarts and that also explains the prices, somewhat higher than what you would find in franchise stores.

According to a recent regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, St. Joe tapped COO Park Brady to serve as interim Principal Executive Officer until a CEO is appointed. Brady took on the role of COO in March of this year, and will continue to serve in that position. Previously he was CEO of ResortQuest.
CB Richard Ellis Group shares rose 0.6% to $24.23 in afternoon trading Thursday. The REIT said earlier that its San Diego office won the leasing assignment for a 1.1 million-square foot, class A office and laboratory building portfolio, consisting of 18 buildings, owned by HCP ( HCP). Among Thursday's session losers was ProLogis, which closed the session down 1.3% at $33.83. The industrial real estate owner priced a public secondary offering of 30 million shares at $33.50 per share, and gave underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4.5 million shares to cover any over-allotments. ProLogis intends to use the raised capital to repay debt and for general corporate purposes. Host Hotels & Resorts saw its shares fall 1.7% to $16.13. The company, a lodging REIT, raised its dividend by 200% this month, to 3 cents a share from a penny a share. Host's higher dividend will be paid on July 15, to shareholders of record on June 30.

I have alerts set up to email out to cell phone as text but when the internet goes down at my office, this alert fails. With out purchasing a GMS device, is there a program that can monitor an email account and call out on an analog dial up modem to notify me?
Jun 28, 2010 at 7:08 UTC
QuickPage works with Nagios. However, you'll need a POTS line to dial a TAP and that can cost as much as a cheap DSL line after taxes, especially if you add long distance.

Not quite what you were looking for, but we use http://siteuptime.com/ to let us know when our network goes down, then we at least know that.
The only other thing I can think is get a redundant connection, even if it's just a DSL line or something. The cheapest DSL plans cost about as much as Dialup plan does now anyways.
Jun 25, 2010 at 1:15 UTC
Thank you FauxSnax. Siteuptime is a nice service but the free checks are only every 30 minutes. My thought is there has to be a way to use a regular telephone line, a voice modem, and a some software to have the computer call when the internet is down. Before cell phones and internet, POTS lines was all they had. A bit old school, but it would be cool if they was a way.
Jun 25, 2010 at 1:23 UTC
The thing about those POTS lines was that they'd call out to an ISP and a pager. I don't remember ever hearing about anything that would actually talk directly to another phone, there was always an ISP in there somewhere.
If you're paying for an ISP you might as well get a dupe line of crap DSL.
Even the low-end paid siteuptime we get has 2 minute checks, and emails you after about five.
Jun 25, 2010 at 1:30 UTC
I worked at one company that the voice mail could call out on the phone system if someone left a voice message in an emergency mailbox. Sadly my current companies phone system does not do this. You are right that we could get get DSL for $30 a month and that would give back up for internet and messaging if the main internet went down.

We use What's Up Gold to monitor our network. It sends email alerts and text messages via a modem connected to a phone line. We have it send both so if the internet (or email server) is down it will still send a text message to our phones.
Jun 28, 2010 at 10:01 UTC
I found another software that works in Windows and for free.

The Weapons of Our Warfare (13 of 19) by Daniel Rodgers
This content is part of a series.The Weapons of Our Warfare (13 of 19)
Series: THE BOOK OF II CORINTHIANS
Dan Rodgers
II Corinthians 10:1-18
July 27, 2005
1. Chapters eight and nine dealt with the collection for the saints and the importance of giving. In this chapter, Paul turns us to an entirely different subject; defending his apostleship and answering his critics.
2. Let me give you three points to our outline:
I. His Method of Approach
II. His Manner of Appearance
III. His Means of Assessment
A. With meekness
1. Note Paul's words in (vs. 10a, Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you."
2. How many of us appreciate a pompous, outspoken loudmouth? Very few, I would dare to say. Paul was anything but that; his approach was the approach Christ would have used--with gentleness and meekness.
a. Here is the key to tempering a situation that has the potential of turning into a serious conflict: learning to control what we say and how we say it.
1) Prov 15:1-2, A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3. Like Paul, you and I will win more battles and settle more conflicts by meekness and by using well-chosen words, than we will by letting our tempers flare.
QUOTE: Jean Pierre Camus said; Anger is quieted by a gentle word just as fire is quenched by water.
B. With firmness
1. Paul was meek, but that doesn't mean he was a wimp. Meekness does mean weakness. No one would ever think of Jesus as being weak, nor was Paul, who followed Jesus.
a. Notice his irritation toward those who were trying to discredit him (vs. 2b), "Wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh." Again in (vs. 6a), "And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience." ...

I need to find a generic form of Zetia so that my insurance will pay for it. Is there any such thing?READ MORE
Is there a generic form of Zetia?
The generic form of Zetia is ezetimibe. Many pharmacies automatically dispense the lowest-priced generic form of a medication, but it's worth talking to your local pharmacist about this. A pharmacist is an often overlooked member of your health team, particularly when you have questions about your meds.
Here are some other articles that you may find useful as well:
4 Steps to Lower LDL Cholesterol
There is not a generic and the earliest one may be available is April 2017. However, most insurance companies have what is called a "step program", which means if you have tried the lower cost alternatives and they did not work then they will authorize this drug. This does not mean that you have to start all over and take drugs that you and your physician know will not work. Your physician will have to fill out a form stating that you previously tried other drugs and either you could not take them because of side effects or they did not work. This authorization is typically good for one year (as long as you do not change carriers) and each year you must get a new authorization.

Remove the drum and inspect the lining thickness of both brake shoes. The rear brake shoes should be replaced if the lining is less than 0.039 in. (1mm) thick above the rivet (so that the lining is thicker than the metal shoe backing in most cases) in order to prevent the rivet from scoring the drum. On bonded shoes the same specification should be used and the thickness of the bonded lining should be 0.039 in. (1mm) thick above the metal shoe backing plate. As with all brake service, keep in mind that local regulations take precedence over these specifications. Always check with your local authorities to be sure you are in compliance with local laws.
Brake shoes should always be replaced in sets.
- Raise and support the rear of the vehicle safely on jackstands.
- Remove the rear wheel and tire assemblies.
- Matchmark and remove the brake drums.
Always work on one side at a time. This will allow for visual comparison if you run into removal or installation problems.
- Remove the shoe return springs and actuator link, then remove the shoe guide from the stud at the top of the backing plate.
Special brake spring tools are available from most auto supply stores, which will ease the removal and installation of the return and hold-down springs.
- Remove the shoe hold-down springs and pins.
- Remove the actuator lever, pivot and return spring.
- Remove the parking brake strut and strut spring, then remove the parking brake lever from the shoe (it may be easier to wait until the shoe is being removed to separate the lever).
- Remove the brake shoes as well as the adjuster screw and spring assembly.
- Clean and inspect all of the brake parts. Replace parts as needed.
- Check the wheel cylinders for seal condition and leaking.
- Inspect the axle seal for leakage and replace, if necessary.
- Inspect the replacement shoes for nicks or burrs, lightly lubricate the backing plate contact points, the brake cable, the levers and adjusting screws with a white lithium brake grease. Do not get any grease on the braking surface, or stopping performance will be effected.
- Install the star wheel in between the two brake shoes. The star wheel should be nearest to the secondary shoe when correctly installed.
- Install the adjusting screw assembly and spring to both shoes, then position the shoes to the backing plate.
- Install the parking brake lever to the secondary shoe.
- Install the strut spring to the parking brake strut, then position the strut.
- Install the actuator lever, lever pivot and the link. Install the lever return spring.
- Install the shoe hold-down pins and springs.
- Install the shoe guide over the stud at the top of the backing plate.
- Install the return springs.
- Lightly sandpaper the shoes to make sure they are clean, then align and install the drum.
- Install the rear tire and wheel assemblies.
- Adjust the brakes as described in this section.
- Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle, then road test the vehicle.

Bearfest (Bärfest, Ursafest, The Feast of Bears)
Bearfest is a pagan ritual that takes place once a year, it is typically celebrated the day before the New Year.
A large group of gay bears will typically meet during this period to feast on the flesh of first-born Christian babies, drink the blood of virgins[1], and then they would close the festivity by holding a large sex group orgy to welcome the coming New Year.
- The first Bear Festival to be celebrated in America happened in 2009
- ↑ In the past they used to drink the blood of teenage girls, today they switched to drinking the blood of nerds and other virgin losers. You try finding a pristine and sexually pure teenage girl in today's America!

The Devil is a Workaholic...by Paula Neal Mooney
Tonight I watched The Devil Wears Prada and was surprised by just how amazingly good it was. No chick-lit-turned-sappy-romance-movie-fluff there. I never got the chance to read Lauren Weisberger's so-called thinly veiled roman-a-clef of her stint as assistant to Anna Wintour, god-in-chief of Vogue, but I'm glad she wrote it.
I'm sure Lauren is now glad she took all that guff for daring to write about her demanding boss, seeing as though Streep has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her magnificent performance.
Of course, I can't help wonder how much of the book and movie are based on Lauren's real-life run-ins with Anna, a reported career-aholic. I can't wait to see the upcoming documentary about Anna. But The Devil Wears Prada movie really brought into focus what important things in life get left behind (read: family) when we focus too much on any addictions in life...which is why I'm posting this puppy and going to bed soon, so I'll be awake enough to smile at those bright shining faces wanting to play with a mound of toys tomorrow...

Republican congressional candidates would generally do better than Democrats if the November election were held today, according to an independent poll that analysts say demonstrates the precarious position President Obama's party is in.
The George Washington University Battleground Poll, released today, found that 42% of registered voters would pull a lever for a Republican in November compared with 40% who said they would back a Democrat. That's the same result the Battleground Poll found in December.
The non-partisan poll found that a plurality of voters, nearly four in 10, rated the economy and jobs as the No. 1 issue for the midterm election, followed by government spending, health care reform and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Partners, said the finding shows that Democrats must focus on the economy to win.
"It's the number one problem," said Lake, whose Democratic firm co-authors the survey along with a Republican polling firm called The Tarrance Group. "It is critical for us to frame all of our messages in terms of jobs."
The health care law signed last month by Obama continues to be unpopular, according to the poll. One-third of respondents predicted the law would benefit their family and the nation compared with 43% who said the policy with benefit neither. Just over five in 10 voters support "repealing and replacing" the new law.
Edward Goeas, with Tarrance, said the economy will likely be the most important issue, but he suggested Democrats may also find themselves struggling to sell the health care law to voters. "You can talk about all the specifics of the plan [but] at the end of the day if it doesn't lower the costs of health care the Democrats are in trouble."
The Battleground Poll is the third this week that tries to gauge the mood of voters heading into the election. On Politics summarized the other polls here. The summary of the Battleground Poll is available on the Tarrance Group website, here.

With her roots firmly planted in Texas, Jean Prescott was born in Amarillo and grew up horseback in West Texas, living and loving the rural western lifestyle. This way of life and her love of music came together over the years and led to the best of both worlds for her. And, for over twenty years she has hung her hat just a little bit south of Abilene, Texas, with her husband, singer/songwriter, Gary Prescott. Jean says she's a singer, songwriter and once and only once a wild bronc rider.
A multiple award winning singer/songwriter, the Texas Legislature recognized Jean for her contribution to the preservation of Texas history through her music. Often called "The First Lady of Western Music", Jean is proud to have the opportunity to entertain and at the same time promote and preserve the western heritage of America. She shares her love of the western lifestyle and its traditions through songs about the real west of yesterday and today. The heart of her music is the stories in her songs about those who came before us when the west was wild and untamed as well as life in the west as it is today, sometimes still wild and untamed.
Jean is devoted to God, her family, her country and cowboy and western music. With twelve CDs to her credit, her songs are sometimes described as "The Spiritual Essence of the West". She covers cowboy, western swing, gospel and patriotic genres with her vast discography of songs.
It has been said that Jean Prescott belongs to the land and its people and she upholds the heritage, traditions and values of the western lifestyle. For over twenty five years she has entertained folks from concert stage to campfires, from churches to intimate living room concerts all across the country. With a voice as big as Texas her songs are sure to go straight to the heart and her music is always toe-tapping good!

The idea for Canada's richest literary prize for fiction came to Jack Rabinovitch and Mordecai Richler back in August, 1993, after an afternoon in Grumpy's Bar in Montreal. Rabinovitch, a wealthy Toronto-based property developer who tends to prefer the company of writers and artists to that of tycoons, was looking for a way to commemorate his wife, Doris Giller, The Toronto Star's assistant book editor, who had died of cancer four months earlier. The result was the Giller Prize, an annual $25,000 award for the best English-language fiction published in Canada. The first winner, announced at a lavish banquet in November, 1994, was The Book of Secrets by Toronto writer M.G. Vassanji. "It created a tremendous difference for me, both in terms of sales and recognition," Vassanji said last week.
Next week, the second Giller winner will be announced, at a black-tie dinner on Nov. 7 for more than 250 people in Toronto. And once again, Rabinovitch is footing the bill. "This is one dinner you can't buy your way into," notes Toronto literary agent Beverley Slopen. "I invite my friends," confirms Rabinovitch. "I don't have anyone I don't want." Rabinovitch also pays for the advance publicity, which includes newspaper ads, posters and shelf stickers for 500 stores across Canada. It is the kind of publicity, notes Slopen, that no Canadian publisher can afford, given the industry's slim profit margins. This year, the five finalists are Timothy Findley, Barbara Gowdy, Leo McKay Jr., Rohinton Mistry and Richard B. Wright.
Rabinovitch, a self-confessed jock who is a ferocious handball and tennis player, seems an unlikely patron of the arts. "He comes across like a character out of Damon Runyon," says his friend Joey Slinger, a Toronto Star columnist. "Inside, there's someone who knows what good art and good literature is all about." Even his choice of a jury to choose the finalists and the winner is carefully planned: this year, it consists of Richler, literary scholar David Staines and novelist Jane Urquhart. Richler estimates that they have plowed through at least 65 novels and collections of short stories.
Few Canadian entrepreneurs offer as much support to artists. Most of Canada's literary prizes–such as the Governor General's Literary Awards or the Ontario government's Trillium Book Award–are largely funded by taxpayers. One exception is the $50,000 Lionel Gelber Prize for nonfiction, which is open to international writers. But no other English-language fiction prize matches the Giller for lavishness and for the support given to runners-up. "It's original, generous and done with considerable panache," comments Richler.
Jack Rabinovitch is an unlikely philanthropist. His parents emigrated from Ukraine in 1926, settling in Montreal. His father sold newspapers for years before saving enough money to open a restaurant. Rabinovitch went to Baron Byng High School, where Richler was a year behind him. His girlfriend, Doris Giller, went to nearby Commercial High.
After graduating in English from McGill University in 1952, Rabinovitch accepted a $75-a-week job writing speeches for grocery magnate Sam Steinberg. In 1960, after working his way up to a vice-presidency at Steinberg's, Rabinovitch went to work for Ottawa's Loeb family to help them open new stores. That made him realize how profitable real estate could be. He eventually went into business for himself, making a fortune with apartment buildings and a shrewd investment in cable television. But the price was high–he hated living in Ottawa, and his first marriage was falling apart. In 1970, his wife and three daughters stayed in the capital while he returned to Montreal. One of the first things he did was to call his old high-school sweetheart, Giller, who was books editor at the now-defunct Montreal Star.
By 1973, he and Giller were married and living in Toronto. "Doris was loud and mischievous and didn't show no respect to all the big-shot developers Jack was in business with," says Slinger. "And Jack just stood back and watched her, enchanted by everything she did." By then, Rabinovitch was working for Trizec Corp. Ltd., a real estate company then owned by the Reichmann and the Bronfman families. Peter Bronfman says it was he who suggested Trizec hire Rabinovitch. "He's very bright and very well read, particularly for a business person," Bronfman says. "Let's face it–most of us have our faces buried in facts and figures. But he also reads Shakespeare and can even do crossword puzzles."
Rabinovitch stayed with Trizec for 20 years, escaping in 1992 before it crashed into bankruptcy. But he remains a force in the real estate world. "He's very tough, very wise, very shrewd," says his Montreal-based partner, Robert Theriault. "His timing is always perfect." Today, Rabinovitch is running a new venture with Toronto business- men David Ehrlich, Bruce Bronfman and Walter Zwig to buy promising properties for investors who can afford a minimum $1-million stake.
No one, certainly not Rabinovitch himself, will say what it has cost him to set up this annual tribute to his late wife, but what is certain is that he spends every cent of it with gusto. When the Giller jury meets to pick the winner, they do it over a long lunch at the Le Mas des Oliviers, Richler's favorite Montreal restaurant. "Toronto prides itself on being a world-class city, but it took two people from Montreal to set up this gift to Canadian letters," says Richler with delight.

Just a reminder, this Saturday, May 7th, is Free Comic Book Day.
Drop on by your local comic book store for free comics from all the major (and minor) publishers. There will be comics for kids, teens, and grow-ups.
Also on Saturday, for you Central Ohio folks, you can drop by the Ohioana Book Festival.
Celebrating Ohio born and based writers, the festival features dozens and dozens of authors, readings, workshops, and more. One of this year's feature guests is comic book artist Sandy Plunkett. Unfortunately, I missed the application deadline this year, so I don't have a table, but having attended for the first time last year as a guest, I can say that this is a pure reader-centric festival. The crowd who attends is there because they love books and reading, and they're enthusiastic, energetic, and put out a great vibe. So if that sounds like your scene, be sure to drop by. Oh, and best of all, admission is free!

Even the cutest of kitties can develop a problem behavior for one reason or another, but most of them can be corrected fairly easily with the right information. Even if your cat doesn't currently exhibit any of these behaviors, learning about them now will make it easier to spot them in the future and quickly correct them before they get out of control.
So your cat's nails have become quite friendly with your couch or chair? Provide him with some alternatives and your furniture should be safe again in no time!
This annoying habit forces many people to give their cats up for adoption, but it can be avoided.

Walking tours let you explore the very sidewalks where that city's famous denizens once strolled and yelled, "I'm famous and I will live forever!" at passing cars. Feel the history beneath your feet with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $23 for a walking photo tour of Charleston for two (a $47 value)
- $44 for a walking photo tour of Charleston for four (a $94 value)
The walking tours begin in Washington Square Park seven days a week, all year long. From there, groups spend approximately two hours exploring 12–15 blocks of High Battery and South of Broad. In addition to shedding light on the sites' history and architecture, the guide teaches attendees how to take well-lit, perfectly framed photographs of the buildings and landmarks.
Charleston History Tours… Picture Perfect
Although professional photographer Joyce Weir grew up in Buffalo, New York, lived and worked in San Francisco, and has traveled throughout Europe, it's the culture and history of Charleston that have kept her—and her camera—captivated for the long haul. Today she leads walking tours through the streets of her beloved Southern home base, sharing her encyclopedic knowledge of the city's landmarks with walkers while also helping them take stunning photographs of the iconic neighborhoods and buildings. Tours generally cover a 1.5-mile course and pass attractions such as colonial churches, Civil War sites, and stately mansions. Armed with home-brought cameras, iPads, tablets, or iPhones, customers learn how to capture images with a photographer's eye for natural lighting and framing.

Definition Edit
Network Centric Warfare (NCW) is
|an information superiority enabled concept of operations that generates increased combat power by networking sensors, decision makers, and shooters to achieve shared awareness, increased speed of command, higher tempo of operations, greater lethality, increased survivability, and a degree of self synchronization. In essence, NCW translates information superiority into combat power by effectively linking knowledgeable entities in the battlespace.[1]
Overview Edit
"NCW is essentially about information. The power of NCW depends on the collection, processing, and dissemination of actionable information. It relies on an extremely complex network of interoperable subnets and systems, working as they are expected to in order to meet its potential. Large networks are theoretically fairly robust; however, nodes that are both unique and critical can be highly lucrative targets. In the case of NCW, a potential adversary might attempt to work against any or all of the three NCW grids (sensor, information, and engagement), the connectivity that binds them together, or the information technology that underpins them all."[2]

An artist has created a surreal alternative to the conventional nose ring; a 3D printed ring which features a metal cast of his actual nose.
David Watson is a graduate student studying digital fabrication, art and technology at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. His latest project involved scanning and 3D printing a model of his own nose before casting the piece in bronze and aluminum.
As he tells Mashable via email: "I think I was compelled by the pun of the nose ring. I will go a great distance for a punch line."
However, Watson isn't just focusing on the funny side. From an academic perspective, the ring is also pretty interesting.
"My nose piece is silly and that is its main thing but, at the same time, I think the piece contributes to the makers movement which is fueled by this idea that the means of production is shifting," he argues.
"In the course of a day, I can scan an object, 3D print it, make a mold and cast it. Tools, education, technologies, like the 3D printer, are becoming more accessible. All of that is really exciting."
How to Make a Nose Ring… Quite Literally
Watson began by using a sense scanner to scan his face. From there he used Rhino software to crop everything but his nose, which he then converted into a digital model for 3D printing.
He decided to use two different metals and tried out two different techniques for creating the ring. In the video below, you are able to see Watson sand cast his nose ring with the help of Frankie Flood.
They took the 3D printed nose and pushed it into a special kind of sand which leaves a firm imprint of the object. Frankie then melted and poured the aluminum in the cast, which is an efficient and quick process. However, this method did not work with bronze, as they could not get the material hot enough.
At the same time as working on this project, Watson was also learning how to cast in bronze from Michael Dale Bernard using vacuum casting. This process begins with taking an object, in this case a 3D printed nose, and creating Sprues (passageways for the molten metal) then investment casting the object.
If you're keen to make a nose ring of your own, check out Watson's detailed blog post here. Let us know what you think about this design in the comments.

Kanye West: I Called Out Jay Pharoah After VMA Spoof!
He's never been much of a fan of parodies, and Kanye West told the crowd at the Made in America festival in Philadelphia that he was none-too-pleased with Jay Pharoah's impression of him at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.
During a series of rants, the "Black Skinhead" rapper declared, "They want to make a joke out of how hard we work. It's fine and all funny and everything, but don't distract from our vision. It's not a joke what we do up here. This music that we do is not a joke. What we do culturally is not a joke."
Kanye continued, "I called Jay Pharoah right after the MTV awards. I said, 'I appreciate your show, but let me tell you about my story. Let me tell you about what I went through to get to that position.'"
"So we ain't gonna have no black comedians going onstage spoofing the people that's working hard, and helping the next man out."
West also took issue with people who make fun of his marriage to Kim Kardashian. "For me to be in a very publicized interracial relationship is not a joke. It's something that should be treated with respect cause we're all in this together."

Panoz GT-RA
Panoz GT-RA History
When Don Panoz bought Road Atlanta the racing school, they were still using some very worn out Nissan 300ZX's. It was decided that they should be replaced with Panoz bodied GT cars. So, the Panoz Racing school contracted with a company in Florida to help them design and build a batch of school cars - since the Panoz Auto factory was already at capacity building AIV Roadsters and working on the design for the Esperante. When the company in Florida did not prove to be up to the challenge in terms of quality and delivery time the project was finally brought to Panoz Auto. The initial batch of cars was delivered to Road Atlanta in the fall of 1998 and were called GTRA's (Road Atlanta). All of the original parts numbers carried the GTR8 prefix to tell us they were GTRA parts designed to the 1998 spec.
After building the first batch of school cars, Road Atlanta came up with an idea for an all women racing series with Lynn St. James at the helm. So, a second batch of cars was built with the 4.6l 4 cam Cobra engines. These cars also incorporated some safety updates to bring them up to the standards required by (at the time) Professional Sports Car racing to run as a support race in the ALMS series. The most important of these was the switch from 1.75 OD x .090 wall ERW to 1.75 OD x .090 DOM tubing on all the round tubes in the chassis. These cars were designated GTWC's (women's cup) and were built over the winter of 1998/1999. After being run as the Women's Global GT series for 2 years it was opened up to men as well and renamed the Panoz Pro series.
The next evolution of this same basic chassis came in the summer of 1999, when Panoz placed a 400hp Ford 351 crate motor in the car. This is also where the plastic body panels were first used. These cars initially were built to run as a spec series of their own that would run within the SCCA GT1 class. They started out on treaded street tires, but like everything else on this "spec car" they evolved to slicks and finally even from 17" to 18" slicks. The cars were designated GTS cars for SCCA, and the part numbers carry a GTSx prefix with the x being the year the part was created. Most parts on these cars are GTS9 part numbers. These cars have been built to order ever since the '99 and are still available from Panoz.
Over the next couple of years 2 more batches of school cars were built, one for Sebring and one for Texas Motor Speedway. Due to availability issues with the old 5.0 mustang engine, most of the Sebring cars had Australian Falcon 5.0's, and then the Texas cars had 5.0's from Ford Explorers. The Australian engines have the throttle body opening to the driver's side, while the explorer engines have a rather tall plenum compared to all the others. Incidentally, the Explorer motors have the "GT40P" cylinder heads which is a cast iron head with a little better flow than the old 5.0 engines had. These cars were pretty strong on the chassis dyno.
On July 1st 2007, Skip Barber bought the Panoz Racing School which prompted the sale of the Panoz School and Pro Series cars. Many racing enthusiasts have used this opportunity to pick up some really great cars.

|California's death chamber
Sunday ends the public comment period for California's proposed regulations for a new safe and sane lethal injection procedure.
The regs are in a 29-page document, to which are attached 18 forms that cover things like the condemned's written acknowledgment that "it was explained to me that I have an execution date of [insert date] and that I may choose either lethal gas or lethal injection as the method of execution."
So I address this (very public) comment to the state's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Dear CDCR,
I admire the team tasked with the macabre and impossible job of developing what they call "a humane and dignified execution" process. I can't fathom what it is like to be tasked with clearly imagining, and designing procedures for:
--choosing who is qualified to kill a person on our behalf, training them, and organizing them into sub-teams
--giving the condemned a choice of how to be dispatched and appropriate forms for last meals, witnesses, property distribution, and burial arrangements
--dealing with the chemical supply problems posed by manufacturers who won't have their medicines used as poisons (letting the warden choose any of 4 drugs for a particular execution is brilliant!)
--sending the prisoner to health-care professionals for a "vein assessment" on where best to administer the overdose
--making sure that the prisoner's list of people who are to be informed "in case of death, serious injury or serious illness" is up to date
--assigning a liaison to the condemned prisoner's family (surely a coveted job)
--assessing whether the person is mentally healthy enough to be killed
--ensuring that suicide doesn't interfere with the state's planned homicide
--deciding exactly how much money to spend on a human being's last meal on this planet
--postulating what differences in handling are required in putting a woman to death
--projecting when and to what degree the executioners need to rehearse their tasks
--designing contingencies if someone on the team won't be able to go through with the job
--briefing the condemned on what will be done to them
--detailing medical procedures for the killing process to work effectively, including protocols for horrifying scenarios where the injections, injections at the backup site, and backups to the backup plan fail to turn the human into a corpse
--offering post-trauma counseling to the people who do this job for us, and
--designing forms to document it all.
It must be hard to put oneself through imagining how all this might go, so as to design its institutionalization. I am no expert, just someone with a lot of caring for the 3 people I know on death row. It looks to me like you have done a thorough and thoughtful job. I can't blame you for the weird and disturbing disjunct between aseptic language prescribing standardized procedures and the reality of plotting how to take another's life. And I won't repeat the reams of comments you've received about the pitfalls of this experimental 1-drug protocol.
My complaint is with the overall attempt to civilize an uncivilized act. Every venture at making state killing more refined has dug us into a deeper hole. This is true in terms of your stated goal of respecting the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel punishment. It's also true from the perspective of the spiritual health of our society and its ability to make informed public-policy choices.
In contrast, the guillotine (used in France until its 1981 abolition of capital punishment [The last execution in France was carried out in 1977]) and the firing squad (Utah's not-so-old method) are gruesome but truly swift and certain, unlike anything we've come up with since.
Surely they are less cruel than sending the condemned to nice nurses a week before execution to find the best veins, then, at the time of the blessed event, inserting a catheter and backup catheter (will they first swab with alcohol to prevent infection?), dripping saline until it's time for the drug to be injected, needing a backup to the backup in case the poison doesn't flow right, and inviting God-knows-what hellish visions to possibly zip through the mind as the barbiturate finally begins to hit the nervous system of a person experiencing execution.
Society's interest is even more clear. With shootings and beheadings, we get to know what we're doing: no whitewashing it as a medical procedure, no pretending we're different from our ISIS enemies and our Saudi friends. The person offed someone a few decades ago - now we're offing them. That is, after all, the logic of the death penalty.
Please abandon the attempt to civilize the barbaric. As long as we feel we need barbarisim, let's be open about it.

By Danny Chaitin, USA TODAY
Earth Song, from Michael Jackson's 1995 album, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, was Jackson's best-selling single in the U.K., selling more than 1 million copies. The video for Earth Song features scenes of ecological and humanitarian devastation ranging from deforestation to war.
While many people are wishing that the late Michael Jackson rest in peace, it is important to remember that he too had a wish for the rest of us: to care for each other as well as the planet we inhabit. In Earth Song Jackson asks, "Did you ever stop to notice this crying Earth, this weeping shore?"
The music video for Earth Song features several ravaged locales including an Amazon rainforest mutilated by bulldozers and a burnt-down forest in New York, while Jackson meanwhile contemplates, "What have we done to the world?" The song also focuses on the horrors of poaching and war.
MULTIMEDIA: Hear the song, watch the video
While he starts out in a low and subtle voice, Jackson reaches a crescendo, screaming a litany of questions including, "What about forest trails…burnt despite our pleas?"
The song really pegs the notion that no solutions can be made without the right questions being asked, and serves to invigorate the public to be more aware of humanitarian and environmental issues. Jackson supported 39 charities in his lifetime.
The end of the music video displays a surreal spectacle of the earth magically healing itself of all the deforestation, damage, and death people have caused when they finally feel sorry for what has been done.
The song became his all time best selling single in the U.K., with the video earning a Grammy nomination.
