Anselm Kiefer's (b. 1945) work brings to mind ruins and monuments, canvases coated with crumbling impasto, lead, tar and straw to depict the rich, mythical mnemonic layers of tragedy and regeneration. Yet a small-scale, even understated side of the artist is currently revealed at the Yvon Lambert gallery in Paris. "Unfruchtbare Landschaften" ("Barren Landscapes") is an exhibition that for the first time shows books made by the painter at the aged 24, in late 60s Germany.
The gallery's two rooms are filled with rows of glass display cases, inside which the pieces are lined up in a formal, archival-like manner. Generally printed on the standard A4 format, the hand-bound books are open at pages selected by the artist; others are left closed for the viewer to look at the painted cover.
On the back wall of the first room the words "Unfruchtbare Landschaften," inscribed in pencil by Kiefer, distill the importance of handwriting to the experience of text. It creates the feeling of school boy-like humility.
The books aren't organized by theme or style, and instead present a neat jumble of three main recurring thematics: the series "Für Jean Genet" (1969) features watercolors of flowers, collaged with dried roses and photographic self-portraits of the artist making the Nazi salute in a woolen, floor length dress. All bear an inscription to Genet, and explore the French writer's combination of provocation and effusive, flowery images. "His father had been active in the war and had talked to him about it; there was a real weight for the new German generation," said gallerist Yvon Lambert. The weight of forbears is strong in these smaller works.
The series "Unfruchtbare Landschaften" (1969) includes collages made of photos of snowy, barren plains that one understands as a sterile post-war landscape. Surgical instruments are glued on top, and the understanding of Nazi ideology-and the losses it incurred-as a mutated fusion of modernism and medicine, is equal parts prescient and crude. "Brunhilde and Her Fate" (1977), involves photos of Kiefer's naked wife: close-ups of her breast that invoke both fragmentation and the wholeness associated with female fertility; and collages of her floating on a river, painted flames emanating from her body. The work echoes John Everett Millais' 1852 work Ophelia, in which the female body is a site for the imminent return to nature, as endemic to the portrait.
Although Kiefer's work as a young adult differs in scale from his mid-career gargantuan pieces, the books evidence certain continuities in material treatment and juxtaposition of saccharine and troubling imagery. "It is all there. The Kiefer we know today can be found all over the notebooks," argues Lambert. "He has been making books since he was 18 and still makes them today. He is a man who adores books and literature; he has an enormous personal library, and a real, profound education."
Kiefer's incessant scribbling of "Genet" is a primitive prequel of his interrogation of the ways in which literature can permeate artworks. His work often references Paul Celan, Céline, and Ingeborg Bachmann, sometimes accessing their work just by allusion. Kiefer's latest painting, finished two weeks ago, is the fourth of the series "Les Dormeurs du Val," which are all adapted from Rimbaud's 1870 poem of the same name.
And the artist has consistently deployed books formally, as a way to compact and stack information. His sculpture Breaking the Vessels (1990) is a 17-foot-high work in the shape of a bookcase, with entire books covered in lead. The pages become too heavy to turn and the entire object loses its original purpose. This piece, like his early notebooks, explores the place of the book as a symbolic container of knowledge, one that moves between transcendence and tangibility.
Likewise, the technique used to produce the books here evince similarities to Kiefer's later treatment of canvas: it's there, for the first time, he experiments with shellac, and covers book covers in thick material. Later, his grand paintings will be so covered, creating a contrast between a skin-like membrane and a heavy suffocating component. Throughout is negotiatiation of sculpture and painting.
And things that Kiefer has parted with? "It's a shame he doesn't do watercolors anymore, these were beautiful," says Lambert. "But in the solitude of his studio, an artist does whatever he wants."

Lifefood has the following characteristics:
- Can reproduce itself (some exceptions here) (contains seeds)
- Rich in bio-photon activity (a living plant emits light)
- Has the genetic integrity to eco-sterilize against mold, fungus, yeast
- Is somewhat close to its wild cousins
- Appropriate for the human digestive system (like other hominids, we are basically frugivores. we aren't carnivores nor are we herbivores)
- Low on the glycotic index (contains sugars that the liver can manage)
- Uncooked (kept below about 120F) (hot tea is an exception) (warming foods is okay)
- Organically Grown (or at least unsprayed)
- Does not contain gluten, gliadin, glutenen, casein
No Grain – these all contain strange indigestible proteins, gluten, gliadin, and there are many others: wheat, corn, rice, rye, barley, spelt, oats.
No Beans – soy, chickpea, black bean, kidney bean, adzuki bean, lima bean, soy products (nama shoyu, aminos, miso, tamari) (a little nama shoyu occasionally is ok but not as a staple).
No legumes – peanut, cashew (technically a peduncle)
No seedless fruit – watermelon, grape, navel orange
No high glycotic rate foods – carrot, beet, date, banana, potato, pineapple
No flesh, meat, eggs
No dairy products (unpasteurized, grass fed cheese can be a useful transition food but it isn't natural nor ethical)
No synthetic chemicals, drugs, synthetic vitamins, preservatives (sulfites/sulfur dioxide in dried fruit)
What is the liver cleanse?
Most people have gall and liver stones mainly due to a diet high in insoluble fats and animal fats, indigestible proteins, refined sugars and refined carbohydrates combined with lack of adequate insoluble dietary fiber. The liver and the gall bladder would normally be able to break down these acid-forming foods but due to their overconsumption the bile in the liver and gallbladder become supersaturated and insoluble and "stone' are created as these fats and cholesterols solidify. These stones can also become hard as sometimes they are encased in calcium and other minerals.
Passing stones is only one element of success of this program; it optimizes liver function, and improves bile flow and is designed to help cleansing to be increased some 400% over what might ordinarily be occurring. It is the foundation of cell rejuvenation and along with Lifefood nutrition, which is rich in food-based minerals, enzymes, vitamins and soluble and insoluble fiber that allows the body to maintain bile flow in the liver and gall bladder.
What is the 14 day Lifefood Nutritional Fast?
The Lifefood Nutritional Fast is 14 days of cleansing on which you are fasting from five things:
1)cooked food: excessive heat destroys enzymes. Robs the food from electrons, minerals and causes bile occlusion.
2)starch: no grains, rice, beans, bananas, dates, potatoes, corn, carrot, beets, etc.
3)solid food: saves energy
4)flesh: acid food which causes bile occlusion
5)breakfast: the digestive tract only rests when it is empty.
Though it is called a fast, it is actually a cellular feast. During this time you will have 3 "flush" days (liver cleanse). The rest of the days will be preparation days full of Lifefood nutrition. There is an enormous variety of delicious food which can be eaten on this fast. Explore the natural bounty of the earth.

Accused of shooting up fentanyl on the job
Medical board says UCSD anesthesiologist had been to Betty Ford

Leaked Report Reveals Real Reason for Bin Laden's Burial at Sea; Body was Dropped from USS Carl Vinson by Naval Officer on Spice High
Sailor now known as "Watchoo Bin Smokin"
Lately, the United States military has undertaken a sustained and public offensive against the synthetic marijuana melange known as Spice. It has developed sophisticated tests for the drug, published scientific and medical data in civilian research journals, and even launched a drug prevention campaign, complete with a music video from a quintet of Naval nurses performing as the No Spice Girls. But what it hasn't mentioned is what really led to the discovery of a Spice ring aboard the USS Carl Vinson earlier this year.
SD on the QT has obtained a Navy memo that was originally sent to Wikipeeks in early December, a memo that contains the bombshell revelation that the ring was discovered after a sailor dropped the corpse of terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden off the side of the ship while high on the hallucinogenic drug. Bin Laden, of course, had been slain by an elite squad of Navy Seals in Pakistan, and was being transported to his native Saudi Arabia for burial when the mishap occurred.
According to the memo, Petty Officer Nate Michaels was part of a detail assigned to transport Bin Laden's body from the Vinson's medical bay (where DNA tests confirming his identity had been performed) to the cold storage locker in the ship's galley. But somewhere between the two, Michaels appeared to suffer a psychotic break. According to witnesses, he grabbed the body and cried, "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!" an apparent reference to the iconic scene from the 1966 Batman movie. He then slung Bin Laden's corpse over his shoulder and made a dash for the ship's deck. Before his shocked compatriots could respond, he hurled the body overboard, an act which necessitated an elaborate cover story from President Obama.
Calls to the Navy, the Pentagon, the White House, and Officer Michaels' mother have thus far gone unanswered. More on this story as it develops.

The area of San Diego always has its fair share of football prospects. At one time there were more players in the NFL from San Diego than any other city. San Diego has always been a key destination for western recruiters.
One player who has seen his stock heat up is defensive end Marquez Herrod (6-3, 220, 4.65) from Escondido (Calif.) San Pasqual.
Herrod has four offers on the table from Fresno State, Boise State, Arizona and Washington State.
Article Continues Below
That Arizona and Washington State have offered is interesting indeed. Those two Pac-10 schools have faired very well with players from Southern California hamlet in the past.
Teams on the verge of offering are ASU, Oregon, Oregon State and Utah. He is also getting some recruiting interest from USC and UCLA.
Herrod was an all-league selection after racking up 57 tackles, eight tackles for loss, four sacks, four quarterback hurries, one blocked punt, one fumble recovery and one fumble caused.
Herrod is also a standout in track where he was an all-league selection running the 400-meter, 4x400, 4x100 and the 100-meter events.
The ever busy Herrod is a dedicated worker on and off the field. He currently benches 320-pounds, squats 400-pounds and cleans a very impressive 265. He has also recorded a 30-inch vertical jump.
The reason that Herrod gives for his disciplined work habits is he wants to be the best that he can be. Because of his work ethic he has developed into a great leader.
The scouting report on Herrod is he has an excellent first-step enabling him to be very quick off the ball and he reads his keys very quickly helping him make plays.
What is Herrod looking for in a school?
"The first thing I'm looking for is a good football program," Herrod said. "Location will also be key – meaning the city and atmosphere. I want to play at a school where they look after you."
"I will play anywhere I can get in and play, I will go," Herrod said. "I don't care about climate."
"I'm pretty much open," Herrod said. "My early favorites are UCLA, USC, and Arizona."
Herrod went to Arizona's camp and was a standout. He is currently going to summer school so going to other camps during that may be unlikely. He may attend Fresno State's camp later in the year
Another thing to like about Herrod is he's fully qualified with his 3.5 GPA and 1290 SAT.

Five students walking to middle school Tuesday morning were seriously hurt when a car jumped the curb and hit them near an intersection in Queens, authorities said.
Emergency crews responded about 8 a.m. to the accident at Grand Avenue and 71st Street in Maspeth, which is near a school.
"They just came out of nowhere, like no one saw the car, it just came," said one child who saw the crash.
After the crash, witnesses said they helped lift the car off one student who was pinned beneath it.
"We were just all screaming, trying to lift the car, yeah, get them out of there," said one passerby.
They were all taken to the hospital in serious condition. Two were treated and released and three others were in stable condition by the afternoon.

Sephora, Crate and Barrel offer best-in-class mobile Web sites: report
Retailers' mobile Web sites improved across all key indicators in the past year as merchants did a better job meeting customers' expectations, according to a new report from the e-tailing group.
The group's third annual Mobile Mystery Shopping Study found that the mobile shopping experience has shown strong improvements in delivering a consistent cross-channel experience, better merchandising and more promotional activity. The e-tailing group expects mobile sites to continue to continue to improve as retailers address the growing use of smartphones and tablets for shopping-related activities.
"The big news is the pace at which the merchants are embracing mobile and making tangible improvements to make a smoother, more efficient shopping experience," said Lauren Freedman, president of the e-tailing group, Chicago.
"The most surprising finding was that the number of clicks to check-out is still high and that all retailers aren't simplifying shopping experiences which is essential in the mobile environment," she said.
Mobile customer experience improves
The e-tailing group audited 168 metrics on 50 mobile sites to create the Mobile Customer Experience Index showing how retailers' mobile Web sites compare with others. The sites were scored on a 100-point scale based on metrics for five key pages, presence and execution of merchandising tactics and accessibility of customer service.
Key findings include that the number of retail mobile Web sites with a score of 80 doubled in the past year for a total of ten. Additionally, the average score increased from 64.56 to 71.53.
The top five performing mobile Web sites are American Eagle Outfitters with a score of 87, Sephora with 84.5, Crate and Barrel with 84, Nordstrom with 83.75 and REI with 83.
Some of the commonalities among retailers with the best mobile commerce experience include a focus on key page improvements, driving efficiencies from both a front-end and back-end perspective and making things faster for the customer and more accessible for the on-the-go shopper, per Ms. Freedman.
The mobile customer experience was also evaluated by category, with food/gifting and sporting goods experiencing the biggest increase in their score, up 27.73 percent and 20.73 percent, respectively.
The highest scoring categories were health and beauty, with a score of 76.81, up 11 percent; mass merchants with a score of 74.38, up 7.16 percent and accessories/shoes, with a score of 73.81, up 10 percent.
In terms of key performance indicators, the biggest improvement was seen in promotional tactical deployment, which increased 31 percent for a total score of 2.59 out of 10.
Average site usability increased 6 percent for a total score of 3.99. Cross-channel branding improved 16 percent for a total of 2.81 while merchandising tactical deployment increased 9 percent for a total of 2.42.
The overall score increased 20 percent for a total of 7.66.
More mobile features
Retailers are also doing a better job of enabling the kinds of features on their mobile Web sites that customers are looking for.
The report found that of the 44 sites with store locators, 82 percent enable geo-location, up from 54 percent last year.
Additionally, 50 percent of merchants now allow shoppers to locate desired products at local stores, with 64 percent enabling geo-location and 34 percent offering store pick-up for these items.
Some of the best practices for a strong mobile Web site customer experience that the e-tailing group recommends include using branded messaging, visual merchandising, promotional offers and rich content throughout a site, removing any obstacles that might prevent a shopper from completing a transaction, making shopping convenient from any page in the site and providing relevant refinement options for keyword searches.
Overall, the findings reflect a growing focus on the part of retailers to create more compelling shopping experiences via buying and back-end advancements, better merchandising and more promotional activity. The result is a mobile Web site experience that more closely mirrors what users encounter on a retailer's traditional ecommerce site.
"Retailers are significantly investing and they are seeing that investment pay out," Ms. Freedman said.
"I hear numbers as high as 20 percent of traffic coming by mobile and what's great is that revenues are following close behind," she said.
"Retailers are believers."

Question: I've had an account with "Capital One" for a very long time (it must be around 10 years). Never had a late payment, never went anywhere close to my credit limit, always paid well over the minimum payment and never had a check bounce. About 4 months ago my finance charge was increased 127%. I called spoke with a supervisor. After a very long and frustrating call, it came down to "it's the economy, you see your other cards will go up as well". No remorse, my past history didn't qualify for a lower rate. I'm not unreasonable. I know the shape of the economy and would understand (wouldn't like it) 10%, 20%, 50% BUT 127% INCREASE!!!!!!. What's the increase on individuals with a less than stellar record (4000% increase)? Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Awaiting your reply. Enzo, Plantation, FL
Answer: The quick answer is, Get used to it. The major credit card issuers that in the not so distant past bombarded many customers with extra cards and hefty lines of credit are equally eager to get rid of some customers and gouge the remaining as much as possible. Credit card companies like to whine that new government regulations are forcing them to raise interest rates, hike fees, and cut lines of credit. The main reason for the change is that their basic business model is broken. Their balance sheets are full of bad debts and their profits are anemic. You can learn all about credit cards and the new government regulations that went into effect on February 22 by listening to this recent Marketplace Money show,
What can you do? In the short run I would shop around for a better deal. Check out the credit cards at local credit unions, community banks, and online banks. Longer-term, I wouldn't carry a balance on your credit card so that interest charges won't matter to you. All you need then is to find a no-fee or low-fee credit card.
I do think that with time the credit card industry will decide mistreating customers is bad for business. But I don't expect the change in perspective anytime soon.

A FOODBANK needs more donations to help feed children over the summer holidays when they are not receiving free school dinners.
Bracknell Foodbank says it is expecting a rise in demand when children from low-income families, who are usually eligible for school dinner vouchers from the Government, are at home during the six-week break.
It was greatly helped by the generosity of News readers through our Christmas Toys and Tins appeal, but demand for its services has been growing.
Pat Hallett, who runs Bracknell Foodbank at Kerith Community Church with her husband Geoff, said: "The summer holidays are a key time for families because where children are used to free school meals, then they are on holiday, families find it very difficult to provide.
"Families are going to be really struggling this summer so we are expecting to be pushed.
"Our stocks are fairly low now, prior to Harvest Festival donations [in September]. We are encouraging people to give more and that is happening. People are very generous despite how touch things are." The foodbank, part of a national network led by the Trussell Trust, has seen demand for its services surge since it opened in September 2009.
It is now helping about 200 people a month, who are usually referred by other agencies and given enough food to last them three days.
The foodbank is open at Kerith from noon-2pm on Mondays and noon-2.30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.
However, donations can be dropped off at the Kerith Community Church, Church Road, Bracknell, in normal office hours throughout the week.
Mrs Hallett wants to hear from anyone who has a new food storage area, because its current one is not very accessible by vehicle and the charity is processing an increasingly large amount of food. Contact her via the Kerith on 01344 862699 if you can help.
See www.kerith.co.uk or www.facebook.com/BracknellFoodbank to find out more about the charity.
The foodbank is open at Kerith from noon-2pm on Mondays and noon-2.30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.
It needs donations of: Milk (UHT) Cereal Tinned soup Fruit juice (long life) Pasta sauces Baked beans Rice/sponge pudding (tinned) Tomatoes (tinned) Pasta/rice (500g) Tinned vegetables Tea bags Instant mash/tinned potato Tinned meat/fish Tinned fruit Sugar (500g) Biscuits and snack bars

|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment

Primary Purpose: Educational/Counseling/Training
|Official Title:
|The Dietary Intervention in e-Shopping Trial
- The percent of food purchased that was saturated fat.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2004
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2004
Objective The supermarket industry now services many customers through online food shopping over the Internet. The Internet shopping process offers a novel opportunity for the modification of dietary patterns. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on consumers' purchases of saturated fat of a fully automated computerised system that provided real-time, personally tailored advice recommending foods lower in saturated fat.
Design Blinded, randomized controlled trial.
Setting & Participants Consumers using a commercial on-line Internet shopping site between February and June 2004.
Intervention Individuals assigned to intervention received fully automated individually tailored advice that recommended specific switches from selected products higher in saturated fat to alternate similar products lower in saturated fat. Participants assigned to control received general non-specific advice about how to eat a diet lower in saturated fat.
Outcome measure The percent of food purchased that was saturated fat. Results There were 497 randomised participants, mean age 40 each shopping for an average of about 3 people. The amount of saturated fat in the foods purchased by the intervention group was 0.66% lower (95% confidence interval 0.48-0.84, p<0.0001) than in the control group. The effects of the intervention were sustained over time and there was no difference in the average cost of the food bought by each group.
Conclusions Fully automated, personally tailored dietary advice offered to customers doing Internet shopping can bring about changes in food purchasing habits that are likely to have significant public health implications. Because implementation is simple to initiate and maintain this strategy would likely be highly cost-effective.

Twelve clubs have today been selected to compete in the new Scottish Lowland Football League from season 2013/14.
The successful clubs are: Spartans FC, Threave Rovers FC, Preston Athletic FC, Gretna FC (2008), Whitehill Welfare FC, Dalbeattie Star FC, East Kilbride FC, Selkirk FC, Gala Fairydean Rovers FC, Edinburgh City FC, University of Stirling FC and Vale of Leithen FC.
27 clubs from the East of Scotland and South of Scotland Leagues, and members of the Scottish Junior FA, initially expressed an interest in joining the new league, and a total of 17 formal applications were received.
The Project Steering Group, made up of Scottish FA Executive, Licensing Committee and club representatives, selected the 12 clubs based on their ability to meet Scottish FA club licensing criteria.
Three clubs - Spartans, Threave Rovers and Preston Athletic - are currently licensed member clubs, and the remaining nine, who have detailed plans in place, must comply by May 2015.
This decision will be ratified by the Board of the Scottish FA at its meeting on 27th June 2013.
Scottish FA chief executive, Stewart Regan, said: "This is an exciting opportunity for all 12 clubs, and another step forward for league reconstruction in Scotland.
"It's important that ambitious clubs are given opportunities to progress. With the Scottish Lowland Football League running in tandem with the Scottish Highland Football League from next season, we are on track to create a pyramid system feeding into the senior leagues.
"The hard work now continues with the creation of the new league board, appointment of office bearers and detailed planning ahead of the start of the new season in August.
"On behalf of the Scottish FA, I wish all 12 clubs the very best of luck for the new season and beyond."
The inaugural General Meeting of the Scottish Lowland Football League will be held on Monday 24th June, when board members will be selected and further detailed planning will commence.
Pending the formation of the new Scottish Professional Football League, play-offs between the bottom division and the Scottish Lowland Football League and Scottish Highland Football League are planned to commence at the end of season 2014/15.

Albums by artists like Coldplay, the Foo Fighters and Oasis have outsold fluffy pop acts.
That's never happened in the UK before.
But it's not enough to beat rock.
Rock albums made up 31 per cent of album sales in 2002, whereas pop sales fell to just over 30 per cent.
Pop Idol
It's a small difference, but it's quite significant in the music biz.
Thanks to Pop Idol producing stars like Gareth, Will and Darius, there were millions more singles sold last year.
Rap, hip hop, punk and metal bands are also doing much better.

Ask a Texas Heart Institute Doctor Informed patients make better patients.
Can someone help me interpret my MRI results?
Can someone help me interpret my MRI results? It says that the test 'denotes mildly reduced movement of the mid basal inferolateral left ventricular wall with some late gadolinium enhancement'. I also have a very high ventricular ectopic count and have had a stress test which has come back as 'borderline'. I am booked for an angiogram next week. Thanks.
submitted by Sue from United Kingdom on 7/12/2013
by Texas Heart Institute cardiologist, Benjamin Y. Cheong, MD
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is a very useful tool in the assessment of heart pathology, heart function, and the presence and absence of scar / fibrosis in the left ventricle (the main "pump" of the heart).
From the description, it appears the CMRI showed some wall motion abnormality (mildly reduced movement) in the middle outer part (mid basal inferolateral wall) of the left ventricle and it appears to coincide with late gadolinium (contrast agent) enhancement (suggesting some fibrosis or scar is present).
An angiogram to look at the blood supply of the heart would be very helpful as the doctor could see if there is any narrowing or blockage of the blood supply to heart (artery) that could given rise to the CMRI late gadolinium enhancement (fibrosis / scar), as a result of heart attack in the past (it could be silent and no chest pain). On the other hand, at the Texas Heart Institute, we frequently see patients with late gadolinium enhancement (fibrosis / scar) in certain parts of the left ventricle by CMRI, but the arteries are widely open. This could be an explanation of why you have a lot of ectopic beats as the fibrosis/scar acts as a focus where these ectopic beats come from.
After the angiogram, it would be very helpful to discuss with your cardiologist the results of the angiogram and the CMRI, to see if the data could explain your symptoms and the findings from various tests you have done so far.

The Huffington Post, of all places, alerted me to the fact that Karen Elson is set to release an album this summer. Unsurprisingly it was produced by Jack White. And if this video that she posted on her website is any indication, it's going to be amazing.

Nearly a month after French specialty materials maker Imerys made a $1.6 billion bid for Amcol International, the would-be acquirer ended up on the losing end of the takeover battle for control of the suburban Chicago-based clay products maker.
Cravath, Swaine & Moore is advising New York–based Minerals Technologies on its $1.74 billion buy of Amcol, which is one of the world's largest producers of bentonite, a mineral used in the construction, consumer products and energy industries.
Scott Barshay, head of the corporate department at Cravath, is leading a team of lawyers from the firm advising Minerals Technologies on the deal that includes corporate partner Andrew Thompson, finance partner Stephen Kessing, executive compensation and benefits Eric Hilfers, tax partner Lauren Angelilli and associates Andrew Elken, Ryan Farha and Nicholas Foley. Thomas Meek succeeded Kirk Forrest as general counsel of Minerals Technologies in October 2011.
Cravath began serving as counsel to Minerals Technologies on the matter last month when the company made an offer for Amcol a day after the target announced it had reached an agreement to be acquired by Paris-based Imerys. Last week Minerals Technologies raised its bid for Amcol, which is incorporated in Delaware. An SEC filing made in connection with the deal announced Monday shows that Amcol has agreed to pay Imerys a $39 million termination fee.
Kirkland & Ellis corporate partners R. Scott Falk and Richard Brand have been leading the team of lawyers from the firm representing Amcol throughout the bidding war, according to our previous reports. Former Locke Lord partner James Ashley serves as Amcol's general counsel. Clarence Redman, a former of counsel at Locke Lord, is an independent member of the company's board.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom has been serving as lead deal counsel to Imerys, which retained Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson to advise on antitrust aspects of its now-scuttled acquisition of Amcol. Denis Musson serves as Imerys' general counsel. Sullivan & Cromwell M&A partner Stephen Kotran and associate Georg Krause-Vilmar have been counseling Goldman Sachs as financial adviser to Amcol on its proposed sale to Minerals Technologies, which is relying on financing from JPMorgan Chase.
Amcol's proposed sale to Minerals Technologies is expected to close in the first half of 2014. The deal wasn't the only minerals-related transaction announced Monday. Philadelphia-based chemical giant FMC Corp. also disclosed plans to separate itself into two independent companies by spinning off its minerals business.
FMC, whose general counsel is Andrea Utecht, has turned to a team of outside lawyers from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz for counsel on the split led by corporate partners Daniel Neff, Stephanie Seligman and Gordon Moodie, executive compensation partner Adam Shapiro, restructuring and finance partner Gregory Pessin, tax partner T. Eiko Stange and associates Brian Bolin, Tijana Dvornic and Sara Lewis.

Each of us is unique. So each of us has a unique definition of what a Winged Life would look and feel like. But for many women, a Winged Life includes the following, in varying proportions:
Here is my personal definition:
My Winged Life is a life lived with purpose and intention, and one of those intentions is to enjoy it! It is a life taken seriously, but lived lightly. It is a life lived with both inspired planning and spontaneity, with abundance and joy and love. It is the willingness to let God control, to step into the flow of creation, to notice who I am being and who I am representing as I go about all the do-ings of my days. It includes family, friends, travel, intellectual stimulation and creative expression. It includes spiritual and social connection to others. It is the life I was created to live.
Do I actually live that life? Not all the time, no. But I can say that, since I set an intention to live a winged life, I live it more and more each day. It is easy to get so caught up in "doing" that we forget who we want to "be" while we are doing whatever it is we are doing. Articulating who we want to be and how we want to live is the first step to making it happen!

ROMNEY FEMAThree times, Mitt and Ryan publicly demanded that the federal government only disburse disaster relief funding if Congress agreed to off setting budgets cuts elsewhere. This would hold desperately needed disaster relief funding hostage unless Congress agreed to cuts elsewhere in the budget, an extraordinarily difficult prospect even in normal times..These same so called sane men want to defund Planned Parenthood which prevents more abortions than any unit in America. It provides preventative health care for millions of the poorest of the poor women. A Christian nation???? What would Christ say??
Since the auto rescue, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are experiencing increases in sales of 10, 13, and 14 percent, respectively. Obama's approach, which Romney vehemently opposed, helped save as many as 1.3 million jobs and the administration's new fuel efficiency standards and incentives included in the 2009 stimulus are driving American-made cars to be become more competitive in an international market.
So, swinney, you just ignore information that much of the american auto industry is going to China, right? You're so blinded by your politics that you can't see the forest for the trees. God luv ya.

Effectiveness of state-level vaccination mandates: Evidence from the varicella vaccine
This paper utilizes longitudinal data on varicella (chickenpox) immunizations in order to estimate the causal effects of state-level school-entry and daycare-entry immunization mandates within the United States. We find significant causal effects of mandates upon vaccination rates among preschool children aged 19–35 months; these effects appear in the year of mandate adoption, peak two years after adoption, and show a minimal difference from the aggregate trend about six years after adoption. For a mandate enacted in 2000, the model and estimates imply that roughly 20% of the short-run increase in state-level immunization rates was caused by the mandate introduction. We find no evidence of differential effects for different socioeconomic groups. Combined with previous cost–benefit analyses of the varicella vaccine, the estimates suggest that state-level mandates have been effective from an economic standpoint.

Awwwwwww, Erin and Maks are in 3rd in the competition --- something tells me they got alot more out this season.
Awwwwwww, Erin and Maks are in 3rd in the competition --- something tells me they got alot more out this season.
I knew it, but I'm still bummed. That made me want to cry. Tom says this is the most emotional he's ever seen Maks after being eliminated. They gave it a great run and I throughly enjoyed them. They gained a lot more than most probably did this season.
So if they are a couple, now the question is, for how long?
I love Erin in the yellow dress! She is a beautiful gal!
Well, that dance was pretty lame... yellow costume and all, pretty awful..... but they are cute together (Erin/Maks)
Erin and Maks were great, and they alone made the season fun just wondering if they were of if they weren't. Loved them
So sorry Kara! Maks is happier than we have ever seen him and what ever happened between these two is not about to end on the dance floor! It is just the beginning!Originally Posted by karalott;3913878;
Yeah, for the KO dance, the last for judges scores, that wasn't impressive. But I think they knew it wasn't going to matter.
So #3 with the judges ranking goes out 3rd. Brooke asks them to tell the judges why they're the champions.
Tom is standing with the university mascots and says 'welcome to Let's Make a Deal' and hopes they're getting extra credit for that
Oh jeez, I forgot all about the lame college championship...what a time-waster.

A season with Apollo and Nicole against each other would be soooo much fun.Originally Posted by Doats;3913864;
Apollo was SOOO amazing to watch. I think Nicole has an edge, but it's close for me.
They are my all time favorites from the show. And, going against the majority, Juliannenad Derek are amazing choreographers.
Thanks! I knew it was coming, but I was hoping otherwise. Oh well, they're still winners to me They gave me so much enjoyment and fit so perfectly. I think they both healed in each other in ways they may never know. Erin taught Maks a lot. I know he helped her.Originally Posted by MiniDiva;3913887;
This college stuff beats some of the other filler they've subjected us to over the years. I wish Miss Piggy was back this season.

A barber shop that combines tradition with a contemporary twist has opened in Mildenhall.
Barbers-Inc Parlor, in High Street, offers a full grooming experience that includes hair cuts, clipper cuts, beard trims, shaves, hair tattoos, flat tops and 'Afro' hair.
Joint director Richard Copsey said: "Barbers-Inc Parlor offers the young and modern man to the more senior and conservative the space to escape the pressures of modern living with a little bit of private time and conversation with your barber.
"We take an old-school approach with a serious commitment to quality, whilst providing a progressive environment that is continually updated with a fresh attitude and current styles."
The shop, now in its fourth week, offers booked appointments as well as a walk-in service and has already recruited an independent barber to work alongside senior barber and joint director Jonathan 'Jon' Westbrook, with another expected to be hired next week and a fourth in September.
Jon also teaches and assesses college students in Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge and, using his experience of training new barbers, the aim is to open a barber-training academy in the business' second year and more shops within the next five to 10 years.
The shop opens 8.30am-6.30pm Monday-Wednesday, 9am-7pm Thursday, 8am-7pm Friday and 8am-3pm Saturday.

There's a report coming out of Canon Rumors at the moment that one of Sony's trucks has been stolen. This truck apparently contains all of the equipment that was destined to appear at the NAB show in Las Vegas taking place next week. CR also report that Sony's truck contained some equipment from other manufacturers which would be used alongside Sony's gear at the show.
There's been no official announcement from Sony themselves, although Sony Alpha Rumors seem to back up the story. They say they've received a message stating that the truck has indeed been stolen.

Hi all,
Bit of a tricky one here for me, let''s say i have a database with 5 entries, with a column called 'priority' which is set to numeric with values 1 - 5, and when i query the database i order them asc, ie:
I then show these items in a List control in Flex, now what i'm trying to do is develop something where i can reorder these in the database, ie changing the priority number.Code:
<cfquery name="q" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT priority
FROM myDataBase
ORDER BY priority asc
I've tried using a drag and drop into another list control to reorder them, and that's fine visually, but how would i send that ordered list into the database?
Another thought i had was perhaps to have move up/down buttons, so that when an item is selected in the List control, it would grab the ID and priority from the database, then preform a calculation (don't know what) to +/- 1 from the priority, but it's a bit much for me to work out on my own, and also how would the others in the database get re-arranged?
Does anyone here have any experiance with this sort of thing or could someone point me in the right direction for a good tutorial on something simular? Any help would be gratefully appreciated! :)
Many thanks in advance all! :D

Cyprus' potential international creditors say they have made "good progress" in negotiations on a possible bailout for the crisis-hit country and that long-distance talks would continue on securing an agreement.
The so-called troika of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund say they are awaiting the results of an investigation into how much Cyprus' ailing banks will need to recover. This will help determine the size of a bailout that won't push the country's debt to unsustainable levels. (AP)

For the third time in the past few weeks, a whale has been found tangled in a crab pot line off the California coast.
The latest whale was near Dillon Beach in Bodega Bay. The massive mammal was first spotted hanging out near the shoreline last week, but after a few days there, authorities determined that it needed help. The whale was freed over the weekend by the U.S. Coast Guard and The Marine Mammal Center.
The mammal experts, which included a Whale Entanglement Team, said the gray whale was an 18- to 20-foot long juvenile with a crab pot line wrapped around and inside the young whale's mouth.
They said two buoys were also attached to the whale.
"With careful precision, the team slowly maneuvered the boat close and began the meticulous job of cutting away the line. Their persistence paid off and three hours later the line was cut free. At the moment the line disappeared, the whale immediately moved forward freeing his pectoral fin and he swam off! Freed at last!" the mammal center stated in a news release.
This is the third time a whale has needed rescue in the recent past. The last one was just a week ago in Humboldt Bay when a whale's tale was caught on a crab pot line. The U.S. Coast Guard, the H.U.S. Marine Mammal Stranding Network and the North Coast Marine Mammal Center spent hours chasing down the creature so they could untangle the lines.
The first gray whale to get tangled in fishing line started its journey off the coast of Orange County in mid-April only to be untangled by a fisherman and his crew near Bodega Bay. That rescue was spur-of-the-moment. The boat captain said he has not heard that a whale was in need of help and only did it because he knew he could.

New to this... workflow question... Lightroom, Photoshop, ACR
Ok... This may be a dumb question but I need some assistance getting an organized workflow going...
I shoot in RAW as a myself/girlfriend 2-person team... 1 Nikon D800 and 1 Nikon D4...
Here's my current what I believe is unorganized workflow...
1.) Currently we are dumping .NEF files off of memory cards onto shared storage on a LAN into a folder dated/named.
2.) Double click each file which opens up Photoshop CS6 and brings up the image in Camera Raw.
3.) Adjusting exposure, highlights, shadows etc... clicking ok and closing and moving on to the next
4.) Once #3 is done for all images, images needing skin smoothing, eye sharpening etc are opened one at the time in photoshop and saved out as a high res jpg into an 'edited' subfolder
This step and #4 are my points of confusion...
5.) Importing all images (including edited JPGs) into Lightroom 4.
6.) Export all images with watermark in low res to be able to upload to web into subfolder called watermarked
7.) export all images w/o watermark in high res to subfolder called highres
I have got to be over thinking this... I know it might be a dumb question but I know there must be a better way. Should I stick with just ONE of the programs? Like maybe just Lightroom or what?
Maybe I'm wrong but this seems like an awful lot of steps to do what I'm doing... Can someone suggest a better, more organized way? I'm new to this and no actual class time with any of it.. just learning as I go via YouTube etc...
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Speaking at the third Senate meeting held at the Postgraduate Hall of the institution, the Vice-Chancellor instructed the Director Senate to compile and make available the names of those yet to be awarded certificates and other necessary documents to enable him use his contacts and other resources available at his disposal to address the issue.
He commended those affected for remaining calm and called on them to exercise patience and to give him time to gather enough information to help solve the problem.
Also at the Senate meeting, seven students who applied for suspension of studies due to ill health and financial constraints from different departments were granted approvals.
The Vice-Chancellor however appealed to Deans, Heads of Department and other lecturers to assist students with good grades but who are financially incapacitated to continue their education, adding that most times when they are allowed to go home, they roam the streets in search of funds and get exposed to crimes and never make it back to the university.
He urged Professors to assume the role of academic leaders of their departments and to lead by example.
Other issues that came up include the affiliation sought to the university by the Pentecostal Theological Seminary Aleto Akpajo Eleme and the Rivers State College of Biblical Studies Asarama in Andoni Local Government Area, to which it was agreed that the programme would be domiciled in the School of Basic Studies while the Department of Religious and Cultural Studies would oversee and regulate their activities.
All second semester results were also approved by the Senate.
A letter of appreciation sent by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the tenth Governing Council, King Aaron Miller Ikuru to the Vice-Chancellor and all who honoured his invitation and graced the Thanksgiving service in respect of his elevation to a first class Chief was read out to members of Senate by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Mrs Hope Keaniabarido Kue-Ikoro.
The Senate meeting ended with an agreement by members to nominate and elect two persons who would be part of the Joint Council/ Senate Disciplinary Committee at the next Senate meeting scheduled for Wednesday February 22, 2017.

A northern Minnesota police department that had been looking forward to getting more than $40,000 for a motorized recliner has had to repost the item on eBay with bidding starting at $500.
Proctor Police Chief Walter Wobig said Tuesday that he spoke with corporate officials at La-Z-Boy a day earlier. They were concerned about the auction post using the company's name even though the chair is custom made and isn't a La-Z-Boy. The chair was seized after a drunken driving arrest, and police decided to auction it off after the owner pleaded guilty last month.
Wobig said he made an agreement with La-Z-Boy to tell people not to use the brand name. At the same time, company officials said they would allow the police department to finish the auction, Wobig said. However, La-Z-Boy had also contacted eBay, which decided to take down to item from its Web site on Monday night. Once eBay decided to take down the posting, Wobig said he had no choice but to start the auction over again.
The recliner -- complete with a cup holder, front lights, a rear tag light and motor -- was back on eBay Tuesday morning with bidding at $2,550 and two days left to go.
"I'm trying to get the bids back," Wobig said. "Everything's the same, so I hope the bidders come back."
Wobig said the whole thing was disappointing, especially because the winning bid on the first auction would have been more than $40,000. Some of the money from the auction goes to the state prosecutor, and the rest goes back to the city. Wobig said the police department had hoped to use some of the money to buy new equipment and pay for training.
"A windfall like this would have meant a lot to a small city like ours," said Wobig, adding that Proctor, like many cities, has faced budget cuts because of state local government aid cuts.
Wobig said he hopes the disappointment will end on a good note when the auction wraps up later this week, even if the winning bid isn't as high.
"Whatever I can receive for the taxpayers is more than what we had," he said.

Murray's has been to the fore in Ireland – for more than thirty years – by advantageously growing our business here. Our company has come a long way to where it proudly stands today, with a team of over fifty employees and a nationwide reach both North and South. This we have achieved 'hand in glove' with our market leading suppliers and manufacturers.
Over the years we've adapted and metamorphosed from a manufacturer of stoma bags to a highly respected medical supplier of choice to the Health Service Executive (HSE), the Private Medical Professions, the Retail Pharmacy Network, and the Public direct.
Reviewing the past few years, the adverse economic situation in the healthcare environment continues to represent a very considerable challenge. This is most particularly the case for the HSE, who continue to endure substantial financial cutbacks year after year.
In this rapid and continually evolving marketplace, our customers are aware of their options more than ever. Even so, I believe they continue to choose Murray's as their partner of choice because of our experience, and commitment to quality, integrity, and community.

With the introduction of the stream API in Java 8 parallel computation became easier than ever. What can be simpler, call the .parallel() method on any stream and if possible it'll become parallelized. However, it doesn't mean that it is automatically a good idea.
In this post we'll look at a classic example of parallel stream use and talk about what consequences it bears for the whole system.

Cathi Sanders - Online Participant
E-mail: email@example.com
Punahou School, Honolulu, Hawaii
Cathi Sanders teaches geometry at Punahou School in Honolulu, HI. She uses technology extensively, in the form of both the Geometer's Sketchpad and Internet resources. Her Sketchpad Tessellation Tutorial and examples of her students' work using Sketchpad are on the Math Forum site linked to Suzanne Alejandre's Tessellation Tutorials.
Cathi finds the Geometer's Sketchpad to be a medium through which her students can explore interactively, discover the properties of geometric figures, and literally create geometry for themselves. In order to teach them how to use the software, she has created a variety of activities that integrate learning computer skills with learning the geometry. She says she does this for two reasons: "1) I don't have time to simply take a week just to teach them how to use the software, and 2) even if I did have the time, I would not want to teach the computer skills independent of the geometry."
Cathi has a number of ideas for teaching tangrams, which she thinks are in themselves an attractive and interesting activity. Her Tangrams Projects help her students to learn and to apply the transformation abilities of the GSP software. In doing these activities, the students learn, practice, and apply rotations, translations and reflections. She plans to create a GSP activity in which the students can construct their own tangrams pieces, using the dilations in GSP as well as rotation, reflection and translation.
In addition to her high school classes at Punahou, Cathi offers a distance learning course, Connecting Geometry, over the Internet. This fully credited high school geometry course for students throughout the Hawaiian islands is part of a grant-funded pilot project through the Hawaii Department of Education. During this E-School (electronic school) course she and her students communicate through the Web page and through e-mail. Of particular interest in this course are the Topics of Study, featuring chapters such as Theorems in Geometry, Congruent Triangles, Triangle Properties, Parallel Lines & Planes, Polygons, Similar Triangles, Circles, and more.
Cathi's hopes for the future include offering a course or informational materials to teachers over the Internet. She has had many years of experience teaching geometry (fundamentals, average, and honors), can offer much experience and expertise with the Geometer's Sketchpad, and enjoys a strong background in applications of geometry: particularly design, art, and architecture as she has a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and a Masters in Math Education. She recently taught a graduate level course, "Geometry for Teachers," at the University of Hawaii. She hopes to share her enthusiasm for Internet applications of geometry not only with students, but in particular with other teachers.

Millionaire Dating - Top 3 Sites Compared
Everyone wants to date a millionaire. They like the idea of having someone rich who can help to secure their future and provide them with everything they want. Unfortunately the internet is full of a variety of bad dating websites. This article will Serve to compare three of the top millionaire dating sites. Afterwards you will know which website to go to to get the man of your dreams.
Millionaire Match
Millionaire Match requires that male users make $200,000 a year or more. For female users there only requirement is that they want to date men with verified income. Since 2001 Millionaire Match has been connecting rich men with very fun women. They claim that their member base has over 2.6 million users, almost double that of Established Men.
Members of Millionaire Match are verified by the company. That means that their income, profession, location, education, and more have all been vetted. This makes it safer and more secure for users who are looking for a real match. These verification services are provided free of charge so both free and gold members can have their accounts verified.
Many millionaire dating sites classify themselves as sugar daddy dating websites. Sugar daddy dating tends to be short term with the main benefits being sex and money. Millionaire Match is not a sugar daddy dating website, it is instead a website focused on creating lasting relationships between users.
You can sign up for Millionaire Match for free in order to view others profiles but like with Established Men your abilities on the website will be significantly hampered. You cannot send messages or even filter searches fully. A lot of people use the free membership to set up their profile and account before they start paying so that they can get the most out of their paid time.
A premium membership is required in order to use all features of the website. Premium memberships all you to send messages, winks, and on-site emails. You can also fully filter your search results. Premium memberships for Millionaire Match also have three billing options. You can pay $70 a month, $135 for three months, and $210 for six months. Unlike many dating websites though, you can earn bonus months for your membership as you use the website.
Many users want the ability to use their dating website on their phone. Millionaire Match offers both an iTunes App Store app and a Google Play app. That means you can use their app on both the Google Android infrastructure and the Apple iOS Infrastructure. Notifications, messages, and more will all be viewable from your phone.
Millionaire Match goes a step above and beyond by providing dating counselors to its users. This helps to ensure that you can get the match you are looking for and the website can gain another positive match.
Customer service on Millionaire Match is available 24/7. The support team can be reached by phone, email, or even live chat. This means that you can get a quick response and deal with any problems that you may encounter.
Website: www.millionairematch.com
Established Men is a dating website for men of wealth and is considered to be a sugar daddy dating website rather than a millionaire dating site. It has been around since 2007 and currently has a user base of over 1.2 million accounts. 2015 saw a huge surge to the Established Men user base. The website has a fairly typical dating website look. User's profile pages contain the basic information such as stats, a bio, and what they are looking for. It also contains a tab for photos and questions and answers.
Established Men is somewhat shy about giving away their statistics but their website states that they have more female users than male users. This is probably true since female users do not have to pay anything to sign up.
Setting up an account on Established Men is free, like most online dating websites. However, just like most online dating websites free does not last forever and does not get you far. Here are the features that a free member can use:
- Search and browse profiles
- See who is online or has been recently
- Receive and send flirts
- Receive but not read messages from other members
- Request access to user's private photo galleries
- Favorite list other members
- Report suspicious profiles
- Send three free messages
Being able to read and reply to messages from other members is a key feature on a millionaire dating website. As such, it pretty much guarantees that in order to get the most from the website you will need to pay. Memberships can be purchased for 1 month, 3 months, or 12 months. A 1 month member ship costs $79. A 3 month membership costs $49/month. A 12 month membership costs $25/month. Female members can get free premium memberships. Premium memberships unlock all features of the website and include credits to use features that have limited access.
A fun feature of Established Men is the ability to leave voice mail messages for users. Voice mail messages ensure that no contact information needs to be exchanged in order for two people to hear each other's voices. Contacting another member via the voicemail service costs 5 credits.

Millionaire's Club
Millionaire's Club 123 was founded by television dating star Patti Stanger. By far Millionaire's Club is one of the more unique websites for millionaire dating on the internet. It has been around since 2000. Patti brings with her experience marketing and directing businesses along with the fact that she is a third generation match maker.
Instead of being a website where you browse through a large database and that is it, Millionaire's Club 123 also has a strong focus on its other services. Even the base line membership comes with relationship counseling. Besides the four tiers of membership you can also add on additional services to help increase the chances of making a match.
There is no free way to browse the Millionaire's Club 123 website. However, you can add yourself to the dating database for free. That means that users of the website can still see your information for a possible connection.
The website offers three tiers of membership. Each tier costs more but they all come with a full year of unlimited dating in both the United States and Canada.
Bronze memberships come with a 1 hour relationship counseling session. You also get owner Patti's commandments of dating and steps to success. The price for this membership is $45 thousand dollars a year. You can put your account on hold for up to 2 months in case you go on vacation.
The silver membership comes with all of the features of the bronze package. It also includes several other one hour sessions. An hour with a dating coach, an image consultant, and a hypnotherapist. All of these features go to bettering your chances of finding a match both on and offline. This package costs $65 thousand a year.
A gold package entitles you to all of the previous features and more. You will also get a full hour of relationship counseling with Patti Stanger herself. This can be in person or via Skype depending on location and availability. Patti Stanger claims that she will also match you with the love of your life, personally. This package can be yours for $85 thousand a year.
The last package offered is the platinum package. This package includes all of the other features plus more. It is customized to meet your needs. The main additional feature you get is customized searches for a potential love. These searches are international. This package starts at $100 thousand a year but the price varies depending on what features you add.
Any package can have Patti Stanger's mixer added on. This mixer will allow you to meet with many people in a very comfortable setting. The mixers are held in a variety of locations so there will never be one too far from you. The mixer costs $35,000 plus the cost of expenses. Expenses include hotel, food, and alcohol.
You can also add on features such as priority status and personal search. These features will better your chance of finding a match but have mixed reviews. Payment can be processed only by checks and wire-transfer. There are no refunds issued by Millionaire's Club 123.
Website: www.millionairesclub123.com
While most dating websites focus heavily on the individual finding the date there is a mixed reliance here. Both the match making service and the user are responsible for putting effort forth.
Whether you are looking for a sugar daddy or a long term relationship there is a millionaire dating website out there for you. The variety of websites that you can find will allow you to tailor the kind of search you want and can afford. Good luck on finding the match that is right for you.
