What a primal joy to awake each morning on the east side of the Bay Bridge in the beautiful Bay Area and know that somewhere up in the hills, quietly walking, sleeping, purring or chirping, caring for cubs, or hunting – are lions. Lions! Known as mountain lion, cougar, puma and panther, the elusive "cat of one color" has inspired more names—40 in English alone— than any other animal in the world. The mountain lion is the biggest wild cat in North America and has the largest geographic range of any carnivore in the Western Hemisphere. Mountain lions can be found from the Yukon to the southern Andes. Here in the Bay Area, lions are known to roam the Santa Cruz Mountains, and varies ranges in the East Bay, near me.
Our mountain lions are much different than African lions in that they are solitary and maintain territories that average 100 square miles in size. Males are highly protective of their large domains and will fight to defend it. A fortunate mountain lion can live a 10-12 year life in the wild. They eat deer and other small mammals which helps keep ecosystems balanced and healthy.
The status of mountain lions is very much in question. Though true populations in the United States, Mexico, Central and South America is virtually unknown, experts estimate 30,000 in the United States. Per the Mountain Lion Foundation's sources, the California's statewide population of mountain lions is approximately 4,000 animals and dropping.
As mountain lion habitat is increasingly fragmented and movement corridors are blocked by human development, more sightings and encounters with mountain lions are causing challenges. Mountain lions are being killed more often by cars and depredation permits (issued when livestock or pets are attacked), and increasing news reports of mountain lion encounters are driving growing public concern for both people and the cats.
As the Conservation Director at Oakland Zoo, I work very closely with wildlife conservation issues all over the world, and habitat loss and the resulting human-wildlife conflict is a challenge we all share, whether that is elephants, tigers, African lions or our own apex predator. I have learned that it takes all stakeholders coming together to truly offer hope for these species.
Now, for the good news: in the Bay Area, mountain lions have friends. One of these friends is the Bay Area Puma Project, who is bringing their international cat research expertise home to the East bay with the aim of understanding these cats and improving our local co-existence with them. Oakland Zoo supports these efforts (they were our Quarters for Conservation project in 2013) and is excited to share their expertise with our public on March 5th at our Conservation Speaker Series event, Saving the Puma.
Other advocates are the Mountain Lion Foundation, the East Bay Regional Park District, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, to name a few.
On New Year's Day, Senate Bill 132 went into effect, which allows the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to work with nongovernmental groups in capturing, tranquilizing or relocating the animals. With this new bill, and the new and improved policies of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, wardens and their supporting organizations will capture or scare off mountain lions unless they pose an imminent threat to people or public safety. Oakland Zoo is honored to help with this progressive effort.
In fact, Oakland Zoo has embraced mountain lion conservation in many ways. As we join forces with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, we are committed to both participate in response to mountain lion conflict calls, and to offer care for a mountain lion in need of recovery before it is hopefully released back into the wild. We are also assisting the Bay Area Puma Project with their vital research and launching various outreach and education programs to create greater mountain lion awareness.
What a joy to look out into those hills and feel thanks to working alliances, our own conservation village, there is hope for a peaceful co-existence with our very own native lion.

PLANS for two new houses at Callow End, near Malvern, are due to be decided by district councillors next week.
The application, made by Ruth and Bryan Haines and Hilary Roberts, is for a site on Beauchamp Lane in the village.
The application had drawn comments, both pro and anti, from local residents, and Malvern Hills District Council planning officers are recommending refusal.
They say it goes against national guidelines, which discourages development in isolated rural areas. The site and access is also affected by flooding, and the proposal will also have an adverse impact on a nearby listed building.
The plan is on the agenda of the council's northern area development management committee, which meets at the Council Chamber, Avenue Road, Malvern, on Wednesday, April 2, at 6pm.

Basic Kiln Design
Posted 21 December 2012 - 06:32 PM
I am in the midst of getting together my stuff for this weekends firing on the beach. I have been doing some research and i think i have decided to scrap the more traditional pit fire and go with a very very basic up draft or possibly cross draft kiln that is to be partially dug out into the ground (on the beach). I am trying to sketch out some quick, easy designs for a kiln/firebox that i can put up and take down easily and quickly.
Hypothetically, if i was using regular red clay bricks or the normal (2.25x4x8 inches) How might i accomplish the task of building the roof??
I was thinking about stacking rings of brick into an octagon, do a few layers then make a hexagon for a few layers and so and so on until the diameter has closed itself off well enough i can stack a chimney straight up for the draft. This would in a sense be a sort of beehive kiln.
Also, has anybody every tried to carry the chimney out and away from the kiln before going up with it? This would almost definitely it be a down draft type but it can have an huge effect on the draft.
I doubt that an arch top would be feasible do to the time and effort required, I have seen some info on ancient greek and roman Kilns and they typically had a central support and a square roof that sometimes had rounded inside corners.
I have seen a lot of DIY wood fire raku kilns (which are my #1 design inspiration) and they all generally use an old shelf as a roof; i don't have a shelf, so i need to make mine from brick.
Should i get some scrap rebar to reinforce the outside walls/corners?
I think i want to try and limit myself to about 100 brick +/- a few for the sake of travelling to and from the beach with a thousand pounds of dead weight.......
I have never made a kiln before, but really look forward to trying this out with good company and a few (too many) drinks around the bonfire.
Any info would be great!
Posted 21 December 2012 - 09:00 PM
A beehive or bottle shaped kiln is usually an updraft. It is aerodynamic as an up draft kiln not a crossdraft kiln which usually works best with an arch .
You could put a section of stove pipe on the top of the tapered shape. You need to lift the floor off the ground for the fire box to work. You should look into some historical anthropology books. A Classic in the field of Ceramics Ecology is "Ceramics and Man" by Fred Matson. You will find lots of information of early pottery. His disciples have published a lot on this topic. I use to belong to the group of Anthropologists who presented "Current Research in Ceramics Ecology" at the Annual American Anthropology Association meetings.
One of the most interesting books I know is Las Rutas de la Alfareria de Espana y Portugal by Emili Sempere. He examines the origins of pottery traditions from various migrating or invading groups on the Iberian Peninsula: Iberian/Greek, Roman, Celtic, Arabic.
It covers just about all early ceramic technology. The kiln scheme below is classified as a Celtic kiln found in NW Spain, made of granite, has built in steps on the outside for stacking, the column inside is stacked rocks of granite, the spokes are high micaceous clay covered with shards for the floor. The top of the kiln is covered with shards and ash is added during the 11 hour firing which helps insulate. The town is Moveros in the Province of Zamora in Spain.
Sorry the image is so bad. I had a hard time converting it. I wrote an article about this village in the Potters Council Newsletter a year or two ago.

I looked and there is a copy of Ceramics and Man at my college library; i am going to pick it up as soon as i get back from the holidays, which is to say after this first kiln building.
I have been utilizing my colleges online databases to research scholarly and peer-reviewed articles so far; but there is not much for diagrams.
There is also a book on kiln making and firing i have been meaning to add to my collection....
I am super excited to try this out!
Ill post some pictures of whatever i get thrown together during my trip.
No matter what happens i am going to have a good time, i bisque fired my pieces today so i wont have ease into the fire like last week.

google Dean Arnold. He also wrote about Moveros and was in the Ceramics Ecology group. ANother was Prudence Rice. One anthology published was "A Pot for All Reasons" ed. by Kirkpatrick and Kolb.

Paco said he fires at night so he can see the color better and judge the temperature that way. This was in Moveros , Spain 1987.

i fired for ten hours, although i took it slow throughout the start for the greenware in the mix with the bisque.
It all smoked wonderfully, but the whole time i was thinking to myself that from the look of the heat my "throwtogether kiln" is probably better suited as a fish smoker.
As of now i am firing it all again in the woodstove and its going really well, i am easily reaching 08-06 by the judge of color.
I'll throw together some pictures of my epic failure, or some might say, great learning experience, in time.
It was a cone-U-lar bottle kiln that started with one firebox and later i added another small box to get more heat.
I have grand ideas for the next go around; this time it includes some fire brick and a length of chimney pipe.
What other fuels can i use with wood to get MORE HEAT like; dogfood, or rich hulls, or hay or softwood vs hardwood
Or maybe some of this "dirty coal" everybody is raving about these days being so cheap.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 10:20 AM
You can have all the fuel in the world..... but if you do not have air mixed with the fuel (hence having oxygen to combust the hydrocarbons), well......... what you have is FUEL. Not released heat energy. You have a whole pile of potential heat energy doing you no good whatsoever. Throw in even more fuel... and all you get is more fuel sitting in the kiln's fireboxes (and possibly exiting the kiln as unburned combustible gases).
You need to think about inducing a flow of AIR into that kiln structure, and also about how to get the air to mix with the fuel well. Air handling capacity and mixing arer the keys to developing good combustion.
I'd recommend you look at a bunch of books on kilns to get general ideas about size relationships of flues (inlet and outlet) and how naturally induced draft functions, and how grates are used for solid fuels.

larger fire box for better combustion with a little longer draw tunnel
No holes in chimney (charcoal lighter can w/holes has got to go)
Get rid of the chimney cap as it slowing down exit gases
Give up the red low fire bricks before they explode-go to lumber store and buy some chimney bricks-they are cheap and are tan colored-they will handle temps better-not as good as real fire bricks but a lot cheaper for this type of thing.
Use these bricks in the firebox and chamber-red bricks on stack up a ways where its cooler.They will not handle kiln temps and will melt at worst and crack apart at best.

US stocks rose to five-year highs on Friday, with the Dow closing above 14,000 for the first time since October 2007, after jobs and manufacturing data showed the economy's recovery remains on track.
The S&P touched its highest since December 2007 after a 5 per cent gain in January, which was its best start to a year since 1997. The index is now just about 60 points away from its all-time intraday high of 1,576.09.
What you need to know
- Aussie sinks on weak China PMI
- Miners push ASX to strong gain
- US jobs rise, factories hit 9-month high
Australian shares are expected to open the week strongly, with the SPI futures contract closing 24 points higher to 4903. The Aussie dollar closed the local session lower. It was buying $US1.0388, near a one-month low of of $US1.0380 hit on Thursday. But the AUD clawed back some of those losses in overnight trade, edging back above $US1.04.
Employment grew modestly in January, with 157,000 jobs added. That was slightly below expectations, but Labor Department revisions showed 127,000 more jobs were created in November and December than previously reported.
Analysts attributed the market's robust showing so far this year partly to a deluge of cash flowing into equities.
Investors poured $US12.7 billion into US-based stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in the latest week, concluding the strongest four-week flows into stock funds since 1996, data showed on Thursday.
"There is a lot of money looking for a home, and people are finally deciding the bond market is done and moving money into equities," said Edward Simmons, managing director and partner at HighTower in Portland, Maine.
"I see the rotation (of assets) pushing the market up in the face of not-massive amounts of good news," he said. "People are overlooking the higher risk in equities."
Other reports released Friday showed the pace of growth in the US manufacturing sector picked up in January to its highest level in nine months, US consumer sentiment rose more than expected last month, while December construction spending also beat forecasts.
"All the data seems to keep pointing to a slowly, steadily improving economy," said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer at North Star Investment Management Corp in Chicago.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 149.21 points, or 1.08 per cent, at 14,009.79. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 15.06 points, or 1.01 per cent, at 1,513.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 36.97 points, or 1.18 per cent, at 3,179.10.
With the day's gains, major equity indexes rose five straight weeks.
More than 600 stocks on the NYSE and the Nasdaq combined hit 52-week highs on Friday, including Google which rose as high as $US776.60, before closing at $US775.60, up 2.6 per cent.
Investors were also attuned to corporate earnings, with a trio of Dow components reporting profits that beat expectations.
Exxon Mobil ended flat at $US90.04 after reporting results while Chevron added 1.2 per cent to $US116.50. Drugmaker Merck & Co fell 3.3 per cent to $US41.83 after a cautious 2013 outlook.
Generic drugmaker Perrigo reported a better-than-expected second-quarter profit and its shares jumped 4.7 per cent to $US105.28.
Of the 252 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings so far, 69 per cent have exceeded expectations, according to Thomson Reuters data. That is a higher proportion than over the past four quarters and above average since 1994.
Overall, S&P 500 fourth-quarter earnings are estimated to have grown 4.4 per cent, according to the data, up from a 1.9 per cent forecast at the start of the earnings season but well below a 9.9 per cent profit growth forecast on Oct. 1.
Dell Inc gained 2.9 per cent to $US13.63 after sources said the company was nearing an agreement to sell itself to a buyout consortium led by its founder, Michael Dell, and private equity firm Silver Lake Partners.

Having a great night at MSG. Saw one of my all-time faves over dinner in the pressroom: Mr. John Davidson, big cheese of the St. Louis Blues in town for NHL meetings. Then bumped into Blogmama and Mrs. TR during warmups.
Now Go Time.
Lineup remains the same, with Prust playing with his nasty eye, Williams probably in for White, and everything else the same as last night, including the goalie. Eminger and White would be prucha'd.
I can't help but chuckle at how badly the Devils are handling this Kovalchuk thing. Say he missed a meeting, or was late for a meeting, or whatever, and get it over with. Now it will live until somebody nails down the reason, and it has legs … you know, with the internet and all.
I wonder if Avery might remind Kovalchuk he was prucha'd last night. Or if he might have something to say to Brodeur. Or if he can get under Clarkson's skin as usual. Ya think?

Better than ever
Having 11 speeds is great, but if you ask anyone who's descended with the new Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 groupset what their favorite feature is, you'll hear a resounding 'the brakes!' We have to concur with the consensus on this -- the Dura-Ace BR-9000 Brake Calipers are the best that Shimano has ever made.
For the Dura-Ace BR-9000 Brake Calipers, Shimano started from the ground up, and the result is a revelation. Finally using a 'true' dual-pivot design, BR-9000 deviates from the Shimano legacy of the mounting bolt doubling as a second pivot. Instead, 9000 has a rear-mounting plate with a center bolt for frame attachment. The brake arms now reside symmetrically over the wheel, and work independent of the mounting plate because of an integrated rolling cam. Shimano kept the cable stop off to the side, but with the new dual-pivot design, any cable pull applies an equal tension to both arms. Taking a step even further, the arms operate on a twin bearing system that drastically reduces pivot friction, and thus makes brake application from the levers a light, predictable, and powerful experience. In fact, Shimano makes the claim that BR-9000 has 10% more power in the caliper than their 7900 counterparts.
The arm placement is now closer to the rim, which, when coupled with an equal pull on each side of the rim, drastically increases modulation. Actuation from the levers is lighter than ever, and with Shimano's new low-friction, polymer-coated BC-9000 cables, you can expect a braking experience unlike anything Shimano has offered before. And for all of you running larger tires, Shimano will also be producing a thinner brake pad option to accommodate up to 28mm tires.
Lighter operation, stronger modulation, and an aesthetic design that's unmistakably Dura-Ace, the BR-9000 is as good as Shimano gets. The Shimano Dura-Ace BR-9000 Brake Calipers are available in one size and one color. The calipers are only available as a pair and are recommended for use with the Shimano ST-9000 STI Levers.
- Road bike compatible
- Dual-pivot design
- Brakes are sold as a pair only
- Thinner brake pads for 28mm tires available separately
- Compatible with Shimano 9000 STI shifters

Consistent Stopper
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Paired these with my Di2 DA groupset. Easy to install, change pads, etc. Have ridden/raced on every generation since 8spd DA and the dual pivot design has always provided a consistent stopping power with great modulation.
The standard
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are the brakes everyone else is judged against. The power/control/modulation are second to none. The only real fault you can find, if you were picking nits, would be the weight. While not bad, if they were to trim a few grams you couldnt find a single reason to use anything else. Thats the only reason for 4/5 stars.
the best of the shimano caliper brakes!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
i've used these several times so it seemed like the perfect upgrade for my pops rig (replaced some off brand cheapies). he loves the upgrade and still considers me his favorite son, i'm the only son so that may have already been in the bag!
Looks and power
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Upgraded my bike from 6800 to these and immediately can feel the difference. Better modulation and power are immediately noticeable.
Will these work with Sram Red brake levers? I am swapping over to etap and was considering keeping my Ultegra 6800 calipers or upgrading to these Dura Ace Calipers.
I am wondering the same thing. Any advice?
solid smooth stopping
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There probably isn't a better caliper brake out there. I run carbon wheels and with carbon pads I feel like I stop better than I ever had.
ditto...killer brakes
yes, better braking than the 7900
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was skeptical spending the money to upgrade my 7900 calipers to these but there really is a big difference in braking power, and not just because I started with fresh pads. :)
I have been running these with 7900 levers with no issue. Worth the upgrade for sure.
will the 9000 brake pads work with both carbon and alloy wheels?
Will these work with the HED belgium plus...
Will these work with the HED belgium plus rims (25mm)?
Holy Braking POWER!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The modulation in these brakes and the improved braking power is incredible!! Dura Ace 9000, is by far the best gruppo on the road I feel!
Will this be compatible with the Shimano...
Will this be compatible with the Shimano 105 (2013) levers?
These are compatible with all the 11 spd shimano systems but Shimano hasn't approved them for use with the 10 speed brake levers.
I found this information recently - just FYI -
?Compatible with STI and brake levers that are Super SLR enabled (e.g. Dura Ace Di2 7970, Dura Ace 7900, Ultegra Di2 6770, Ultegra 6700, 105 5700, Tiagra 4600)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/6/2013 (1532 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Few investors know how much they pay for advice from their financial adviser or planner.
Some might even assume it's free because they aren't directly handing over cash every time they meet. Yet most investors buying mutual funds sold by an adviser are paying for advice whether they know it or not.
And so they should. Good advice should come at a cost.
But the problem has always been figuring out just how much you're paying for advice.
That's all about to change over the next three years as new government regulations are phased in requiring investment firms to provide better disclosure about fees investors are paying on their funds -- as well as annual performance of those investments.
"What the regulators wanted... is to make sure the investor understands how much is being paid to the adviser," says Joanne De Laurentiis, president of the IFIC (Investment Funds Institute of Canada), representing the industry. "Now you'll have pretty good information to chat with your adviser if you were unhappy."
Although a step in the right direction, critics argue the measures don't go far enough.
Tom Bradley, president of the small, Vancouver-based mutual fund firm Steadyhand Investment Funds, says the central problem with the industry's fee structure -- trailer fees -- still hasn't been adequately addressed.
"It (a trailer fee) is embedded into the management expense ratio (MER) and it is generally about one per cent for equity and balanced funds," he says, adding the trailer fee is less for bond and money-market funds.
It's effectively a sales commission paid by many fund companies to compensate advisers for selling their funds.
Trailer fees make up the majority of compensation commissions (64 per cent in 2011, compared to 27 per cent in 1996) paid to advisers in Canada, states a recent report by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), representing provincial and territorial securities regulators.
While trailer fees will be reported on statements annually under new regulations, Bradley says the industry should go a step further and ban them altogether.
"Whoever is dealing with the client -- a financial planner, broker or whatever -- let them charge for advice whatever he or she sees fit instead of someone at the marketing department of a fund company determining how that planner or adviser is going to get paid," says Bradley, whose fund company does not pay trailer fees.
Banning trailers would help avoid possible conflicts of interest where an adviser recommends one fund over another because it pays a higher trailer fee, he says.
Others critical of the industry argue present standards of conduct for investment advisers also need to be changed to protect the investing public from these kinds of conflicts of interest.
At the moment, advisers are held to a 'know your client' standard when providing advice.
While advisers can't recommend to little old ladies who fear losing their money they should invest in high-risk emerging market equity funds, the standard is less clear about other conflicts. Longtime investor advocate Joe Killoran says even though advisers can't sell a product that's unsuitable to their clients, they're still salespeople and not true advisers because they are not legally bound to provide advice that puts their clients' interests ahead of their own.
"They don't have the fiduciary oath."
De Laurentiis says licensed advisers are supposed to disclose potential conflicts. "In other words, if I'm being paid by the manager of the fund, I need to disclose that very clearly to you and say 'Here's what I'm being paid and who is paying me.' "
Regulations, however, only require advisers discuss with clients the MER and whether the funds have upfront costs and redemption penalties, but they aren't required to tell clients how much a fund firm is paying them in trailing commissions for selling a fund.
And many advisers -- more than 50 per cent in surveys -- do not discuss trailers with their clients, the CSA report found.
Killoran says holding financial advisers to a higher professional standard would help address this problem because they could face professional disciplinary or even legal action if they don't act in clients' best interests.
This higher standard already applies to some professions in the financial industry. Portfolio managers, which run the mutual funds, pension funds and the wealth of high-net-worth clients, do have a fiduciary duty to act in their clients' best interests.
That's largely because many of them have a certified financial analyst (CFA) designation, which includes a fiduciary duty to clients in its code of ethics.
In fact, the CFA institute -- the governing body for CFA charter-holders -- is now pushing for more than just its own profession to be held to this standard. Last month, it made it a top priority in a new campaign announced at its annual meeting aimed at restoring investor trust in the system.
"We believe anybody offering advice to people where people are entitled to believe that they're entering into a relationship of trust, they're owed that same standard of care, prudence and loyalty that a fiduciary would be held to," says John Rogers, president of the New York-based organization.
Canada's regulators are considering the idea for advisers, brokers and planners, but the industry argues it would make advisers' jobs too difficult and adequate protection is already in place, De Laurentiis says.
"It becomes more of an academic question about if you had a very strict legal duty to advise clients in their best interest, would it actually make a big difference?" she says, adding the United Kingdom and Australia have moved in this direction and encountered obstacles.
"What they've concluded is you can't really impose a strict best-interest duty because it legally ties everybody up to the point they can't do anything."
Furthermore, putting in place these measures may increase costs for some investors because investment firms would have higher expenses for enhanced training, reporting and compliance, the industry contends.
And it would most likely be the little guy who bears the brunt of the increases.
Yet this argument actually makes the case for greater transparency, Bradley says.
"It's basically saying that 'We've duped everybody and nobody knows what they're paying and that allows us to charge more to the larger clients than they should be paying so we can subsidize the smaller clients."
He says changing how advice is provided and compensated likely will increase costs slightly for the investor with $10,000 in funds paying $50 a year in fees for advice.
"But how do we ever expect the industry to change and evolve for the better if there's this subterfuge in place?"

The LL.M. in Law and Government is founded on the law of government, emphasizing the legal regulation of both the private and public realms of U.S. society. To that end, almost all of the approved courses for the Program are domestic in nature. In limited situations and reflecting the increasing interdependence of world society, some courses that cover international and global issues are approved.
Students build a curriculum from the 100+ approved courses in consultation with the Associate Director of the Program on Law and Government specifically taking into account each students' individual academic and career goals. Courses that are not on the approved courses list will not count toward the LL.M. degree and may not be taken. In particular, first-year JD courses, clinics, journals, and most international courses will not count toward the degree.
Approved Course List
Bar Preparation
The LL.M. in Law and Government is not specifically designed as a U.S. bar exam preparation course; however, after graduating from the program, many of our students sit for the New York or DC bar exams. For more information regarding the Bar Exam and additional resources, consult the New York Bar Exam Track page.

The AKFQuiz package lets you easily make your own quiz games or learning exercises. These can be used either with grquiz in a graphical environment (SDL), with crtquiz on a text terminal, or with diaquiz in a GUI environment. There is also a line oriented variant, linequiz, which can be used as a backend. A CGI-variant can be installed on a Web server to offer exercises via the Web. A mkquiz tool that generates an HTML file for to use with the JavaScript akfquiz5.js is also included. Those can then be published with any Web-space provider.
AKVIS ArtSuite is photo decoration software that allows you to apply effects or add frames to your photos. Sample photo frames that come with ArtSuite can be easily tailored to your particular photo by choosing its color, form, style, brightness, and the intensity of the applied edge effect. You can use any picture as a pattern to generate an original photo frame. With artistic effects, you can convert a photo into a black and white image and add a color shade to it (for example, sepia effect), replace colors on an image, and add a texture so that the image looks like drawn on a surface such as canvas, wall, or corrugated paper. The Glamour effect conceals skin defects and reduces small wrinkles.
AKVIS Chameleon is an efficient tool for photo collage creation. It eliminates the tedium of selecting an object with a complicated shape for pasting into a new background. The software has three modes: montage, chameleon, and blend. Montage mode fades the irrelevant parts of an object into the background. Chameleon mode adjusts the inserted object to the target image's color range and smooths the object's borders. Blend mode both adjusts the color range and smooths the object's borders and also makes the object semi-transparent.
AKVIS Coloriage is a plug-in for colorizing B&W photos and replacing colors in color photos. It works equally well for coloring of portraits, landscapes, fashion,and still life. The skin, sky, verdure, and tree color patterns help users to select realistic colors for their picture.
AKVIS HDRFactory creates HDR images from a series of photographs taken at different exposures or from a single photograph. This technique generates stylized images with fabulous colors and unique effects. The software also includes an efficient deghosting tool for removing artifacts that sometimes appear when combining photos with moving objects. It can also be used for photo correction.
AKVIS LightShop helps you create various light effects in digital images. It can apply sparkles, reflections, glows, and much more. Hints are provided to help the user decide on the many complex parameters that can be adjusted to create a particular effect. Many preset effects can be applied.
AKVIS MakeUp is a photo retouching utility that automatically smoothes small defects on the skin. It is ideal for processing wedding photographs or graduation party photos, or for users of social networks and blogs to improve their profile pictures and add a touch of glamour to the albums.
AKVIS MultiBrush is a tool that makes it quick and easy to retouch photos and enhance portraits. Available as a stand-alone product or a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, it removes wrinkles, scars, and scratches, and enhances imperfect skin on portraits in the most natural way. Spots, stains, and dust are easy to mask and remove without affecting background texture, lighting, or colors. It is similar to the Adobe Healing Brush, but offers more flexibility and customization options. It also includes Artistic Cloning and more.
AKVIS NatureArt is a tool for imitating natural phenomena on your digital photos. The effects it can add include sun flares, lightning bolts, rain, and snow. The program can also create nature scenes from scratch by converting a blank background into a sea view or a night sky with scattered, glistening stars.

Where can it be? Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting married tomorrow in London England. And I'll be gob-smacked - my invite has not arrived!
But my family tree clearly indicates that I, Brian Massey, am the 28th cousin, 4 times removed, of Wills. So what's up with not inviting me and my spouse to the wedding of the century!! I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it was a space issue but I just found out that the Palace revoked the invitation previously sent to the Syrian ambassador. So... that means there's a couple of empty spots at supper!
Here's the direct royal line down to Elizabeth from William I. It's a bit confusing but here's how it works - King Henry II's mother Matilda, was the sister of my direct ancestor David, 1st King of Scotland. That's right - I've got royal blood. My family always told me I was special...
At least, I've got royal blood if the online family trees can be trusted... but if they're online, they can't be wrong can they?
The line from my 26th great-grandparent David King of Scotland, comes down several generations to Bryan Stapleton who died in 1394. My Stapleton family carried on in the male line and ended up leaving England in the early 1800s for Canada.
So there we have it. If the online royalty trees are correct, I'm Will's cousin. And I really don't get why he didn't have all this figured out. I mean the guy can afford to hire a genealogist for cripe's sake! Or if he hasn't got the money what with marrying Kate, all he has to do is ask Grandma to pony up some Euros.
My wife says I should take him off the Christmas Card list.
Disclaimer: My tongue was tucked so far into my cheek it went numb. I won't be able to lick the stamp for Will's Christmas or Birthday card at this rate!

Aye, good one, very funny. Here in the States, we don't take very kindly to cousins marrying each other anyways, so I don't think you're missing much, not being privy to that kind of *gasp*....keeping it in the family! (I heard they were 15th cousins) anyways...

Microsoft will let you run custom apps from Office ribbons
An upcoming update to Microsoft Office will allow you to essentially pin apps to the Microsoft Office ribbon, adding to its extensibility.
An upcoming update to Microsoft Office will allow you to essentially pin apps to the Microsoft Office ribbon, adding to its extensibility.
Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 voice recognition software has been released in Australia, with digital downloads available now and boxed versions of the application available from 28 August. NaturallySpeaking 12 is the first major new version of the core Dragon desktop software in two years following the launch of version 11 in July 2010.
Microsoft Office 365, a suite of business-focused, cloud-based applications that was recently released in beta, is actually a repackaging and updating of various Microsoft offerings -- optimized for the cloud.
It's taken two years for Nuance to update its market-leading voice recognition software Dragon NaturallySpeaking. We liked version 10, so what's new in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium?
Squeezed by desktop competitors (Microsoft's powerhouse Office suite and the free, open-source OpenOffice) and Web alternatives (apps from Google, Zoho, and others), can Corel WordPerfect Office X5 bring something to the productivity software table? The suite does deliver some unique features--most notably in PDF support and--with the addition of Nuance PaperPort to the suite--in document management. But WordPerfect Office X5 remains a tough sell for general business users who are reasonably satisfied with Microsoft's core Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps, or their free Web counterparts.
Microsoft Office is the de facto standard for productivity tools, to the point at which word processors and spreadsheets are now called "office programs". But Office is costly, and it's bloated with features few users ever need or even know about. Budget-conscious users and system-resource skinflints can look to several alternatives: One such is Office 2010 by Ashampoo and/or SoftMaker. In this review, we examine Ashampoo Office 2010.
Based on our hands-on testing of the public beta of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, this product allows IT departments to run applications such as enterprise search, content management, collaboration and business intelligence on a single platform.
It has taken Microsoft a long time to bring its flagship Office suite to the Web and now it finally has with Office 2010.
Corel's lightweight Corel Home Office Suite includes the Corel Write word processor, Corel Calculate spreadsheet, and Corel Show presentation creator. It's a definite improvement on the company's previous suites in terms of usability.
Adobe's Acrobat.com isn't a design tool, but being from the creative app giant and offering office-type tools that most creatives will need for the (boring) business part of their jobs, we knew you'd be interested -- so decided to take a look.
Ashampoo Presentations offers most of Microsoft PowerPoint's functionality, at a fraction of the price. Ashampoo Presentations forms part of the Ashampoo Office suite.
Using UK's Kalender you'll be able to easily set up single events or recurring events, as well as colour code them and add unique icons to make it easy to recognise them. The program includes holidays, so that you won't need to enter them yourself; they'll already be scheduled in.
Search engine Google has revealed that the files of some Google Docs users have been shared with unauthorised users.
Microsoft is bending its Office franchise toward netbooks and is developing packages that are unique to that market, according to the head of the company's business division.
Microsoft's Word has always been an impressively powerful piece of software, with dozens, if not hundreds, of features most people never knew existed. The new "Ribbon" interface in Word 2007 attempts to make some of those features easier to find and use, but there are still a lot of really handy features that you may not even know to look for.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.

High school notebook: Kiski Area runner headed to national meet
Brent Kennedy's exploits in cross country are taking him, well, across the country.
The standout runner from Kiski Area qualified for the Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships Dec. 8 in San Diego.
Kennedy, a junior who won the WPIAL Class AAA title this past season and finished second at the PIAA meet, took ninth at the Foot Locker Northeast Regional qualifier on Saturday at Van Cortlandt Park in Bronx, N.Y.
Kennedy finished in 15 minutes, 50.2 seconds.
Kennedy ran a 15:59 to win the WPIAL title and 15:52 at the state meet in Hershey.
"This puts him in a position where he's one of the top runners in the country," Kiski Area coach Tom Berzonsky said. "There are only 40 kids in this race. It's a great accomplishment."
The national race, which showcases the country's top boys and girls prep runners, will be contested at Balboa Park. The event, which is formally known as the Kinney Cross Country Championships, began in 1979.
"I was so focused on (winning) states," Kennedy said. "Once that was over, I had a little sour taste in my mouth. That gave me motivation over the next two weeks to keep working."
Berzonsky said he and Kennedy have been training behind the scenes for his early-winter surge.
Kennedy decided not to play basketball for Kiski Area.
"We kind of kept it quiet," Berzonsky said. "We started about a month (after the high school season), knowing (nationals) were coming up."
Kennedy seeks the best competition to gauge his talents. And he studies up on other runners.
"It was great to go against some of the best around," Kennedy said. "I like to look for the best competition."
Kennedy said he is looking forward to meeting and competing against defending national champion Edward Cheserek of St. Benedict's Prep (N.J.).
A native of Kenya, Cheserek ran a brow-raising 14:51.5 to win last year.
Three other Pennsylvania boys, all seniors, qualified for nationals: Austin Pondel of Corry Area, Max Norris of Harriton and Brendan Shearn of Big Spring. Pondel was third in PIAA Class AAA and Norris was fourth.
Shearn finished second at the state Class AA meet.
Bieber fever
Fox Chapel basketball player Erin Mathias missed all of last season after she had knee surgery. The junior forward was weak in the knees last week but for a different reason. Mathias won an online contest to meet Justin Bieber before the pop star's concert Nov. 20 at Consol Energy Center.
Mathias greeted Bieber backstage before the show and had a few photos snapped of her with the mop-topped teen singer.
"I entered this contest a week before (the concert)," said Mathias, a Duke recruit. "I was one of 10 girls to win. It was really cool; we were all freaking out."
The thing that stands out in the photos isn't Bieber. It's Mathias. She is 6-foot-3. Bieber is 5-6.
"Yeah, he's not too tall," Mathias said with a laugh.
Down the road, Mathias hopes to meet her favorite athletes, who are more her size. NBA stars Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant are among them.
Softball showcase
Kiski Area freshman softball player Kelsey Kinnamon was picked for the 19th Queen of Diamonds Showcase set for Jan. 5-6 at Kent State.
Kinnamon is a pitcher and outfielder. She plays travel softball for Team Pennsylvania in the summer.

He's played good left field this year. Much improved. He's red hot at the bat, almost carrying the team (along with Phillips). The time has come to stop removing Adam Dunn from games in double switches.
Meanwhile, Griffey played 18 innings today after a night game yesterday. He stays out there no matter what.
Keep Dunn in the game.

Not iPhone but probably to use with upcoming iPad so you can write super accurately and draw on it.
Jobs despised the stylus for the iPhone, I hope Apple don't f**k up without Jobs overseeing what's good and what isn't.
5 finger stylus glove a la Freddy Krueger?
Stylish stylus. Lol.
Maybe this will be for that 7 inch tablet they're working on.
"Of course, if you're expecting something of a traditional variety, then you don't know Apple very well."
Yeah...it will cost $79, require needlessly-complicated syncing through iTunes, have bizarre restrictions on what it can and can't do, and its patents will include "having a pointy end" and "used to make swiping, writing, drawing, or tapping movements".
The only ridiculous thing about Apple releasing a stylus, I think, is that they will release it as if they are the first people to ever think of such a thing.
